In the cold night, Li Yuan quietly watched his son Li Shimin turn over and get on the horse.

Li Shimin glanced at the vast snow behind him, where there were already 20,000 light cavalry assembled and on standby, this army included more than half of the cavalry in the army, and also included the most powerful Xuanjia army in Hedong.

With a hint of hesitation, Li Shimin once again said to his father, "Father, although there are more 20,000 soldiers and horses from Xiaogong to help, Yang Jun has four generals under Yang Yichen, Pei Renji, Yujuluo, and Tuwanxu, and his subordinates also have 50,000 soldiers and horses. Why don't you let the child and his father defeat Yang Jun's troops first, and then go south together? ”

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

"Erlang, the soldiers are fast, and the timing is often fast. Although Jin Xiaomo said early that he would move the city to annex it, he was not afraid of 10,000, but he was afraid of just in case. We've been here for too long, and we're worried about what will happen if things drag on for Father. Coupled with filial piety's soldiers and horses, I have 80,000 male soldiers in hand, why are you afraid of Yang Jun'er? What's more, this battle is not for the annihilation of the enemy. Our ultimate goal is to enter Guanzhong in the west, Yang Yong is just a stone in the way, we don't need to fight him. As long as you go south first and get your hands on Kasaka and Kasuma, we will only be half successful in entering the customs. ”

Li Shimin wanted to say something, but Li Yuan had already waved his hand, "No need to say more, even if I can't defeat the four generals under Yang Jin, with 80,000 Hedong Erlang, I can guarantee that I will calmly go south to Puhan." The key lies in you, as long as you take Pu Han and Pu Jin as soon as possible, we will not be afraid of Yang Junye. At that time, Yang Jian will be guarding the pass, and what can Yang Jian do, he will not have to watch us enter the pass in the west. ”

Seeing his father's resolute appearance, Li Shimin didn't say anything more, nodded, clamped the horse's belly, and immediately took the lead and ran east. They will go around fifty miles upstream of the Fen River, avoid Yang Xuan's soldiers and horses to cross the river, and then go all the way south to Pujin Pass.

Looking at the night, his son Li Shimin led 20,000 light horsemen to the east. Li Yuan stood quietly in the snow for a long time, his heart full of expectations.

"King Tang, the third watch is here." The pro-guard team Zheng He Jin reminded quietly.

Li Yuan put away the faint uneasiness in his heart, turned his head and jumped on the war horse, and said in a loud voice, "Pass the order and start attacking!" ”

Li Xiaogong's headquarters of 20,000 soldiers and horses took the lead in crossing the Fen River, with people and horses wrapped in hooves, and the army did not light torches, and quietly went straight to Yang Yun's camp.

20,000 soldiers and horses marched forward quickly, crossed the Fen River, and in less than half an hour, they had already arrived at Yang Yin's camp. I watched the dim lighting of torches in the dark barracks, and from time to time I could hear the sound of drums coming from the camp.

Li Xiaogong was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Yang Jian to have much precautions, and he pointed at the moment. The army shouted and rushed to the barracks. The soldiers in the front rushed to the front of the formation, only to see bursts of arrows shot out of the camp, and many Tang troops were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another.

Li Xiaogong shouted, "Release the rocket!" ”

A group of archers were moved to the front of the formation, and one by one they put their longbows on oil-soaked rockets, and at the sound of an order, ten thousand arrows were fired. The rocket roared towards Yang Yun's camp like fireworks in the sky, and instantly ignited a large area of camp tents.

What is surprising is that a large area of the camp tent is on fire, and half of the soldiers are not found shouting and screaming.

"This is an empty camp, defend in formation!" Li Xiaogong roared, and there was already a trace of nervousness in his face.

In the raid just now, there were already a lot of soldiers attacking, and Li Xiaogong's array had also been opened. If you want to defend immediately, it is difficult for a while.

Suddenly, in the dark night, countless bowstring sounds were heard, and the sound of sizzling came and went. …,

"Raise your shield!" The experienced officers of the Don Army cheered one after another.

As soon as the sound stopped, countless arrows had already been shot from the dark night, and the whistling arrows quickly fell into the military formation, taking away the lives of one soldier after another, and splashing blood flowers one after another.

"Withdraw!" The surprise attack was unsuccessful, but was ambushed, and Li Xiaogong had to give the order to slowly retreat, and converge with the Tang King and most of the completed parts behind, and form a formation against the enemy.

However, Yang Yin's four commanders in the army are all famous generals and old commanders who have become famous in the Great Sui for a long time. If you seize such an opportunity, you will not let it go so easily. There were bursts of shouts in the distance, and the next moment, the earth shook, the iron hooves rumbled, and Yang Jun's cavalry troops had rushed over.

The veteran general Yu Juluo personally led 5,000 cavalry to attack from the rear of Li Xiaogong's soldiers and horses, and Tu Wanxu led 5,000 cavalry to attack from the flank. The rolling torrent kept coming, and the rumbling sound of iron hooves seemed to hit the heart of every Tang army, which was terrifying.

In the darkness of the night, only the sound of hooves was heard, but no cavalry could be seen, which added to the horror.

In a panic, Li Xiaogong ordered the soldiers and horses to retreat slowly, and at the same time, he sent 5,000 foot soldiers to form a large shield and spear array to defend it. But this kind of mobilization in the dark is really not very efficient. Before the array was assembled, the five thousand cavalry led by the two famous generals, Yujuluo and Tu Wanxu, had already rolled in.

As soon as they made contact, they had already been broken through the formation by the cavalry, and they could no longer gather into a formation to resist Yang Jin's cavalry.

Li Xiaogong reluctantly ordered to stop retreating, and the whole army contracted on the spot, carried out defensive operations, and waited for the arrival of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's large army in place.

The cavalry of Jianghan Jingzhou was in full swing, and in the face of the gradually shrinking Li Xiaogong troops, they had no fear at all. The high-speed galloping war horse led the knight to constantly wander around the edge of the array, piercing and cutting down the Tang sergeants on the edge of the array.

In the dark night, only the sound of the impact of swords and the friction of armor were heard, and the murderous aura was overwhelming, and the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves seemed to be about to trample Li Xiaogong's entire army.

Then came the sound of dense footsteps of foot soldiers, followed by the familiar sound of bowstrings.

"Raise your shield!" The experienced officers kept reminding loudly, but at this time, the Tang army, which was squeezed into a dense array by the cavalry, no matter how much they raised their shields to defend, but in the face of a more dense rain of arrows, every breath, there were still countless soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows.

The array, which had been washed by the rain of arrows, gradually thinned out, and there were more and more defensive holes.

Both Yujura and Tuwanxu saw this opportunity, and they roared to the city, charging their dense cavalry into the gaped defensive arrays. Under their fierce and fearless onslaught, the cavalry broke into the front army array of the Tang Army.

Breaking the strongest shell, Jiang Hanjun was like a huge wedge, constantly expanding this crack.

The cavalry that attacked the formation continued to penetrate to the left and right.

The Tang army, which had lost the cover of its hard shell, was unstoppable in the face of the powerful high-speed cavalry.

The 20,000-forward Tang Army, like a lonely sail on the sea, was hit up and down by the iron hooves of the cavalry of the Jiang Han Army, swaying from side to side, and was on the verge of collapse and disintegration at any time.

Li Xiaogong's 20,000 soldiers and horses were the newly recruited local garrison troops after Li Yuan went south, which was not only incomparable with Li Shimin's Xuanjia army. It is also incomparable with Li Yuan's large army of the Hedong Army, and even the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left behind in Taiyuan are even worse.

Such a unit, which can only be regarded as the fourth class combat strength of the Hedong Army, fought in the dark night, and the elite government army of the Great Sui under the command of famous generals such as Yujuluo was immediately reduced to sheep under the impact of fierce beasts.

Li Xiaogong was in the middle of the Chinese army, and his palms had been pierced by his fingernails. One bad news after another kept coming, "General, the two battalions in the front have been dispersed!" ”…,

"General, the two battalions on the left flank were scattered by cavalry!"

"General, General Li Shenfa has been killed!"

"General, General Li Xiao'an of the rear army requests to retreat!"

Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and said, "Li Xiao'an's rear army must not retreat, even if the last person dies in battle, I have to resist it." ”

When he said this, Li Xiaogong's heart was dripping blood, and Li Xiaoan was his own brother. At this time, if Xiao'an is allowed to retreat, it can still be saved. But if it continues, it will be unpredictable. But at this time, he had no choice, Xiao'an's rear army was a rare elite with good combat strength among his 20,000 people.

If even they begin to retreat, then the entire forward army, 20,000 soldiers and horses, will no longer be able to hold out and wait for reinforcements. As soon as the rear army withdrew, the formation was immediately broken, and it was very likely that the whole army would be dispersed at that time.

What worried Li Xiaogong even more was not only the collapse of the forward army, but after the collapse, he was driven by Yang Xuan's troops to most of Li Yuan's troops who were rushing. At that time, their forward rout will rout and counterattack their own army, and if one is not good, even the entire Li Yuanzhong army will be chaotic. At that time, Yang Jin's troops will attack violently, and it will be a situation where the whole army will be defeated. He couldn't afford such consequences.

He believed that the news of the defeat of the vanguard army should have been transmitted back to the Tang king. Tang Wang's reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, and it is very likely that they are gathering troops and horses and slowly advancing in formation.

Li Xiaoan received the order from his eldest brother, sighed and ordered to stick to the place.

It's just that at this time, the situation is already very serious. Although he tried his best to mobilize his troops and horses loudly, trying to form a formation and hold on to help. However, the formation of the Tang Army at this time, under the impact of the cavalry of the Jiang Han Army, was like a sieve, full of loopholes.

The strong cavalry, as long as they gather and charge, the array will immediately break a big hole. kept using people to fill it, but just filled in one place, and several places were broken. It's like a before it bursts, no matter how hard it tries to block it. But there will always be more gaps emerging, and in Li Xiaoan's rear formation, there are many corpses, and soldiers are constantly falling.

Gradually, there were already quite a few soldiers, ignoring the military orders, and began to flee in all directions.

The forward army is in danger and faces collapse at any time.

Many generals and colonels shouted angrily while pulling their swords to resist the impact of the Jiang Han army, "Where is the army of the Tang King, why don't you rescue it?" ”
