Xue Ju originally had the intention of breaking the Sui army's partial division and the main force, and was also very tempted by the plan proposed by his baby son to annihilate the Sui army's partial division, and after listening to Hao Ming's report and advice, Xue Ju no longer had any hesitation, and immediately agreed to the tactical plan of killing the Sui army's partial division first.

The comprehensive strength of Xue Jujun's main force is far above the Sui army's partial division, and the Sui army's partial division made a fatal mistake in selecting the location of the camp, and it is very important to dispatch the main force to kill the Sui army's partial division, but Xue Jujun also has to face an important problem, how to prevent the main force of the Sui army from sending troops to counterattack?

Although the intelligence shows that Chen Fuliang is already sick in bed, it is unlikely that he will personally lead the troops to fight, and at the same time, the main force of the Sui army has to retain some troops to guard the throat of the pavilion, and it is impossible to dispatch all the troops to counterattack and rescue Li Jing, but the main force of the Sui army has more than 40,000 people, and it is not a problem to send more than half of the troops to rescue Li Jing, and it is very likely to take the opportunity to attack the camp of Xue Jujun, encircle Wei to rescue Zhao and force the main force of Xue Jujun to return to the army to save the camp. The more than 50,000 main forces of Xue Ju's army had to guard the camp, and they also had to control the key unnamed mountain beam to prevent the main force of the Sui army from advancing westward to rescue Li Jing, and at the same time they had to concentrate on annihilating the Sui army's partial divisions.

Considering this, Xue Ju, Hao Ying and others made a very correct decision after careful discussion, that is, to relocate the main camp to the nameless mountain beam, and let the rear army be responsible for guarding the grain and grass in the camp and part-time to prevent the main force of the Sui army from advancing west to rescue Li Jing, while the main army took the opportunity to free up its hands and go all out to annihilate the Sui army's partial division.

The military situation is like fire, the fighter plane is fleeting, after finalizing the battle plan, the main force of Xue Jujun was ready to move the camp overnight, the next day the sky was just dawn, nearly 40,000 Xue Jujun main force immediately pulled out the camp and set off, striding to the nameless mountain beam, and what made Xue Ju extremely happy was that the Sui army division not only did not give up the camp with the Achilles heel, but the scouts under Xue Renguo also caught a Sui army messenger at night, and found a letter written by Chen Fuliang to his cousin Li Jing from the messenger, In the letter, Chen Fuliang introduced to his cousin that he was currently sick, and asked Li Jing to calm down, not to attack again for the time being, to defend himself first, and wait for himself to recover from his illness before personally commanding his cousin to break through Xue Renguo's interception.

There was no longer any hesitation, the first time he played against Chen Fuliang, he didn't know that Chen Fuliang had always played to the death, and he felt that Xue Ju, who was carefree, moved quickly, and moved the main camp to the nameless mountain beam that also lacked a stable water source in one morning, during which Xue Renguo also personally led the army westward, and rushed to the dangerous pass west of Li Jingjun to set up camp, blocking Li Jingjun's westward escape road on the road.

It was also at this time that the Sui army's partial division, who had just woken up from a dream, realized that the crisis was coming, and Li Jing hurriedly sent Ma Sanbao to lead the army out of the camp, trying to prevent Xue Renguo from seizing the western road, but because Li Jing reacted too slowly, he was a step late, and failed to block Xue Renguo's army in the narrow mountain road in time, so that Xue Renguo could reach the open ground outside the Sui army's partial division camp first. Xue Renguo's army, whose individual combat effectiveness was always slightly higher than that of the Sui army, finally repelled Ma Sanbao's attack after paying a lot of price, and at the same time, Xue Ju also sent a rear army to meet Xue Renguo, helping Xue Renguo resist the attack of the Sui army's follow-up army, covering Xue Renguo's successful seizure of the western mountain road, blocking the westward escape of the Sui army's partial division, and immediately set about establishing camp fortifications.

At this point, the encirclement arranged by Xue Jujun against the Sui army's partial division has been roughly formed, Xue Renguo's army blocked the Sui army's partial division's westward escape road, and Xue Ju personally led the main force to block the Sui army's partial division and the main force The only way to meet the main division, the Sui army's partial division was attacked by the enemy in the east and west, and the north and south were insurmountable lofty mountains, which was like being in a prison - and even worse, in this prison, there was not even the necessary water source!

In this regard, of course, Xue Jujun was thunderous, and the generals and soldiers were all overjoyed, and Dudao's defeat of the Sui army's partial division was just around the corner. The generals of the Sui army, including Ma Sanbao, who was wounded on the battlefield, rushed to Li Jing together, warned Li Jing and advised Li Jing to break through with all his might, so as not to run out of snow in the camp and fall into the crisis of lack of water and chaos.

What answered the generals of the Sui army was Li Jing's rare laughter, and he said with a smile: "Everyone, what are you anxious about? Why don't you want to think about it, with the temper of our prime minister, how can you sit back and watch our army fall into a crisis and ignore it, and how can you let Xue Ju easily encircle our army? Since the debut of our prime minister, when has the enemy taken such a big advantage? Who dared to take advantage of our prime minister on the battlefield, which one of them got a good end? ”

The generals of the Sui army looked at each other, feeling that Li Jing's words were reasonable, but they didn't dare to rest assured, Ma Sanbao also cautiously reminded: "Marshal, according to the prisoners of war captured by our army, it is rumored that our prime minister has unfortunately fallen ill, so he cannot personally lead the troops to fight for ...... time being." ”

"The prime minister is sick? Do you believe it? Li Jing asked with a smile, and said: "Sanbao, you have been with Prime Minister Chen for the longest time, and you know that Prime Minister Chen Cheng's health is not very good, but Prime Minister Chen Cheng was unable to command the troops on the battlefield because of a sudden illness, do you believe this?" ”

After a pause, Ma Sanbao shook his head and replied: "I don't believe it, the prime minister has the biggest tricks on the battlefield, not to mention that it is just rumored that he has fallen ill, even if I saw him lying on the hospital bed and unable to get up, I don't believe that he is really sick." ”

"That's it." Li Jing smiled lightly: "The person who can take advantage of our prime minister on the battlefield has not yet been born, you just need to remember this." There is no need to panic and hurry, and you should also tell your subordinates not to panic and hurry, just say that the prime minister will definitely send troops to rescue us, as long as we persist, victory will definitely belong to our army. ”

The generals agreed, and then Liu Shishan asked again: "Dashuai, then how will we fight next?" ”

"Simple, collect as much snow as possible around the camp, strictly control the use of water, receive half a liter of water per person per day, and at the same time make every effort to strengthen the camp, and prepare to use the camp fortifications to compete with the thief army." Li Jing replied lightly: "Then, find a way to lure most of the main force of the thief army into the mountain road, and when our main force launches an attack, we will go all out to counterattack and cooperate with the main force of our army to break the thief army." ”

At the same time that the soldiers of the Sui army, who were still somewhat worried, followed the order, Xue Jujun also quickly set up a new camp, during which Xue Jujun was also prepared to prevent the main force of the Sui army from attacking, but what made Xue Jujun happy and a little puzzled was that the main force of the Sui army had been standing still, and had always sat back and watched the division being surrounded and ignored, as if he didn't know about it at all. But at this point, it is obviously impossible for Xue Jujun to adjust his tactics, and he can only go one way to the dark, while starting to strengthen the defense of the eastern front, and at the same time starting to arrange a plan to attack the camp of the Sui army.

Of course, it is impossible for Chen Fuliang not to even know such an important thing as the siege of his cousin, in fact, when Xue Jujun had just begun to transfer the camp, Chen Fuliang had already concluded that the main force of Xue Jujun was going to be relocated to that nameless mountain beam to be stationed, and when the scouts of the Sui army confirmed the address of the new camp of Xue Jujun's main force, Chen Fuliang was also slightly relieved, knowing that the tactics of luring the enemy had been initially successful. However, Chen Fuliang was not in a hurry to launch an attack, and he had to wait for the main force of Xue Ju's army to enter the narrow mountain road in a big way and completely achieve the tactical goal of luring the enemy to unfavorable terrain before he could consider launching an attack.

In this regard, generals such as Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, who were old in the military, also warned Chen Fuliang, pointing out that there was little water in the mountains, and Li Jing was in danger of water shortage. Chen Fuliang replied: "Don't worry, we don't have to worry about this problem, Li Shangshu will solve it for us, we just need to wait patiently." ”

It is true that there is no need for Chen Fuliang to worry, and even God came to help, on the night of the same day, the dark clouds were combined, and heavy snow fell in the Tingkou area, and the Sui army took the opportunity to store a large amount of ice and snow, piled up a number of snow mountains in the camp as reserves, and at the same time once attacked Xue Renguo's new camp, although it was unsuccessful, it also issued a warning to Xue Jujun, forcing Xue Jujun not to consider strengthening the strength of the western front, and the army gradually tilted westward little by little.

Xue Ju was also very calm, knowing that it would be beneficial to the army in a short period of time, so for two consecutive days after moving the camp, Xue Ju did not launch an attack on the camp of the Sui army's partial division, nor did he let the main force enter the mountain road that was unfavorable to the army's operations, but only strengthened Xue Renguo's troops, severely cracked down on the Sui army's partial division's action of going out of the camp to collect ice and snow, and fought a lot of small-scale contact battles with the Sui army's partial division in the mountains and forests, and successfully forced Li Jing, who was not rich in capital, to give up the action of taking water outside the camp.

Xue Ju can only do this step, I believe that Chen Fuliang is currently ill, and he cannot personally lead the troops to fight for the time being, Xue Ju of course has the intention of annihilating the Sui army's partial division before Chen Fuliang recovers and completely laying the foundation for victory, so on the third day after moving the camp, after thoroughly improving the fortifications of the new camp, Xue Ju still couldn't hold his breath after all, leaving Zong Luohu to guard the nameless mountain beam, personally led the army westward, and joined forces with his baby son to launch an attack on the Sui army's partial division camp.

Under the command of Li Jing, the soldiers of the Sui Army's partial division relied on the terrain and fortifications that were favorable to the defense, and attacked Xue Jujun's attacking camp team head-on, repelled many attacks launched by Xue Jujun, and killed the tall and tall Longxi soldiers on their backs, with many casualties. Enraged, Xue Renguo personally led the army to charge, but was still repelled by the Sui army relying on the fortifications and failed to achieve any results. Hao Jianjian sent infantry to the rear high ground of the Sui army camp and condescendingly attacked the Sui army camp, only to soon find that Li Jing had already ambushed hundreds of troops on the top of the mountain, and in turn condescendingly killed and wounded many of Xue Ju's soldiers who were climbing the mountain, successfully thwarting Xue Ju's conspiracy.

The battle lasted until it was completely dark, but when the main force of Xue Ju's army withdrew to the nameless mountain beam, Li Jing immediately launched a counterattack, taking advantage of the general fatigue of Xue Renguo's army to participate in the attack on the camp, and suddenly sent troops to attack Xue Renguo's camp in the second half of the night, successfully causing many casualties to Xue Renguo's army and then withdrawing to the camp.

Xue Ju was furious when he heard the report, and the next day ordered the main force to station in the west, establish a new camp outside the Sui military camp, and then launch a continuous attack on the camp day and night until the enemy was broken. Hao Ying was worried that the main force was too deep into the mountain road, and strongly persuaded Xue Ju not to do this, it was better to be stationed in the nameless mountain Liangshan to attack again in wartime, Xue Ju not only did not listen, but also scolded in turn: "What is there to fear?!" Not to mention that Chen Yingliang's husband is now sick and unable to lead the army to fight, even if he dispatches the main force, what is there to fear? There is Zong Luohu guarding the narrow mountain road, a distance of only fifteen miles, and it is not a matter of words for us to return to the eastern front? ”

Considering that it was indeed convenient to return to the eastern front from a short distance, Hao Ying did not insist on opposing it, but just changed to build yì Xue Ju to stay more than 10,000 cavalry on the nameless mountain beam to prevent the main force of the Sui army from making a detour to sneak attack the north of the nameless mountain beam, Xue Ju adopted this plan, and left 7,000 infantry to Zong Luohu to guard the eastern line fortifications, and then took the main force to the west, moved to the southern end of the plain where the Sui army's partial division was stationed, and entered the narrow area between the mountains in a big way.

The scouts of the Sui army, who closely monitored the movements of Xue Ju's main force, brought the news back to the main camp of the Sui army, and the generals of the Sui army also immediately burst into joy, and they all rushed to Chen Fuliang to ask for battle, scrambling to be the vanguard to launch a counterattack. Chen Fuliang flatly refused, and said: "No, the fighter plane is not yet mature, the main force of the thief army has just entered the mountain road, the body is still very abundant, and the morale is also very strong. ”

"Prime Minister, when are we going to do it?" Qin Qiong asked: "The main force of the thief army has entered the depths of the mountain road, the road is blocked, and it is difficult for our scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, how can we judge the maturity of the fighters?" ”

"Three days! Three days later, it will be a favorable fighter! Chen Fuliang replied categorically: "Xue Ju's thief army goes deep into the mountain road, and must look forward to a quick victory, and will never delay it any longer, I can be sure that Xue Ju's thief army will inevitably launch a strong attack in the next few days, and even a continuous strong attack day and night, three days later, Xue Ju's thief army's morale is almost consumed, and we will take the opportunity to attack again, and we will win a big victory!" ”

Qin Qiong nodded, and then reminded: "Prime Minister, if Xue Ju's thief army really continues to attack our army's partial division day and night, can our partial division hold out until that time?" In addition, the thieves have built strong fortifications in the narrow part of the mountain road, and we are afraid that it will take a lot of time to break through the positions of the thieves. ”

"Don't worry about the partial division, our partial division can support it." Chen Fuliang was absolutely full of confidence in the God of War cousin, and said with a smile: "As for how to break through the interception position of the thief army, why do we have to attack the fortifications?" Going around to the north of the thief camp, isn't it the same as breaking the enemy? Besides, if we bombard with real artillery, how long can the thief army build those broken fences and broken antlers on the Eastern Front? ”

As Chen Fuliang guessed, after the main force of Xue Jujun marched west to the outside of the Sui army camp, it took only one day to set up camp and prepare, and then immediately launched an attack on the Sui army camp, and also divided the army into two groups, taking turns to attack the camp and take turns to rest, day and night to storm the Sui army's partial division camp, Li Jing led the army to meet the battle, and the main force of Xue Jujun fought day and night, and the battle was fierce and abnormal.

The combat effectiveness of the Longxi soldiers is indeed worthy of its reputation, with the Sui army outside the camp of the horse deer antler fortifications gradually destroyed and destroyed, the Sui army's casualties, which have always been inferior in body and arm strength, have gradually expanded, after more than a day of fierce fighting, the Sui army's partial division soon exceeded 3,000 casualties, many fence fortifications were destroyed, and they could only rely on flesh and blood to compete with the enemy. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jing could only take advantage of the opportunity of Xue Jujun's main force to rotate the attack camp around Shenshi on the afternoon of the third day, and quickly abandoned the outer camp and withdrew to the Chinese army camp.

The most powerful point of Li Jingchuang's glaive-shaped camp is that the defense is strong, after withdrawing to the camp of the Chinese army, it continues to defend in a half-arc, and at the same time, the strength of the troops becomes abundant after the position shrinks, and the defense is strengthened again invisibly, and it is more difficult for Xue Jujun to advance again, but the fatigue brought by continuous combat and the thirst caused by the reduction of drinking water still weaken the combat effectiveness of some Sui army's partial divisions. Xue Ju's father and son were secretly happy when they realized this, and despite Hao Yin's kind dissuasion and the fact that the non-commissioned officers also appeared to decline, they still attacked the Sui army camp overnight, and did not leave any time for the Sui army to deviate from the division.

At the same time, the main force of the Sui army, which had been recuperating for a long time, was also ready to go to war, and as soon as the fifth watch arrived, the generals of the Sui army had gathered in Chen Fuliang's Chinese army commander's tent to accept Chen Fuliang's command. Chen Fuliang was not polite, the generals had just arrived, and they said straight to the point: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the tenth day of the first month of the first year of Yining, and it will also be a day that will surely go down in history, why?" Because we will break the main force of the Western Qin puppet emperor Xue Ju, today's battle, I hope you must inspire the soldiers to take the lead, do not break the thief army, and never withdraw the army! ”

The Sui army sang a promise, and Chen Fuliang said loudly: "Today we are going to attack in two ways, Kan Liang, Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin and Bao ** are all the way, and attack the north of the camp where the thieves have piled up grain and grass, Kan Liang led 5,000 infantry first, and went to the bottom of the mountain to fight, the thief camp is full of cavalry, and will inevitably send troops to attack your army, you have to carry it!" Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin each led the cavalry of their headquarters to the rear, and when the cavalry of the thief army descended or showed flaws, they immediately charged and attacked, and they must win! Force the main force of the thief army to return to the division to save the grain land! ”

"Guo Feng, Chen Ci, Zhao Yu." Chen Fuliang turned to the third general of the newspaper again, and ordered: "Don't show your white robe and report the ** banner for the time being, bring more dry food and horse material to ambush in the woods on the road where the thieves fled north, recuperate and wait for the fighters, and wait until the main force of the thieves is defeated and flees north, and stop the waist and attack!" ”

The named generals sang a promise, and Chen Fuliang named Luo Shixin, Wei Chi Jingde, Qiu Shili and Pang Yu and other generals, and said: "You and I led the main force to attack the interception position of the thief army on the eastern front of the mountain road, this time using real artillery, Du Ruhui and Li Zhengming were responsible for staying in the camp. ”

"And." Chen Fuliang smiled again and added: "Kill pigs and sheep, prepare more good wine and food, our partial teachers have worked hard these days, and we have to be ready to treat them." ”
