It's time to take a look at the situation on this side of the Lingshi battlefield, and when the last four watches have not seen the enemy out of the city, Wang Xingben, who didn't want his soldiers to suffer the sin of spring cold in vain, discussed with Cao Qing a little, and simply gave up the ambush, and let the Sui soldiers who were frozen for most of the night go back to the tent to rest, but the Sui soldiers were overjoyed, at least the Sui army ambush circle that could hit Li Erjun hard also collapsed by itself. ――If you're a little luckier, this ambush circle is also very likely to kill Li Er himself, who likes to take the lead and rush to the front!

It can only be said that Li Er's luck is too good, the luck of the Sui army is too bad, the Sui army soldiers evacuated the ambush position and just fell asleep, the fourth watch and a half just arrived, the Lingshi city gate that had been closed before was quietly opened, more than 3,000 Taiyuan troops took advantage of the cover of night, under the personal leadership of Li Er, quietly felt out of the city gate, and assembled an army outside the east gate of Lingshi, and then Li Er gave an order, and the Taiyuan army immediately sneaked south, and the people wrapped their horses and hooves, and quietly touched the Sui army camp in the south almost without sound.

At the same time, the main force of the Sui army that had just fallen asleep not only did not realize that the danger had arrived, but even the more than 1,000 Sui troops stationed at the intersection of the narrow road in the north did not notice that Li Erjun had left the city, let alone found out that the Duan Lun Department of the Taiyuan Army stationed in Jiexiu was also trotting and rapidly approaching the Lingshi battlefield.

It is indeed God bless Li Er, tonight happens to be a cloudy day, the stars and the moon are not bright on the ground, so even if the Sui army camp has just made deployment adjustments, a new army is responsible for night defense, and the new army guarding the camp has not been tired and knocked down and reduced the patrol strength, but because the vision is too poor, there is no time to find out in advance that Li Erjun is approaching, or until Li Erjun's infantry stepped forward and shot down the Sui soldiers on the sentry tower with bows and arrows, and the soldiers with arrows fell to the ground and made a sound, and the Sui army patrol increased its vigilance, found that the soldiers of the Li Second Army who had already touched the front of the camp and secretly moved the antlers to reject the horse.

Immediately after that, the gong sounded chaotically, and the Sui army on duty hurriedly released arrows to shoot the soldiers of Li Erjun's army who secretly moved and refused to move the horse, and at the same time immediately strengthened the guard of the camp gate, but Li Er's side did not hesitate, and immediately ordered to launch an attack, two hundred carefully selected Taiyuan army death squads rushed straight to the camp gate, and cut the Sui army camp gate under the dense rain of arrows, and 1,000 Taiyuan army infantry soldiers divided into two roads, respectively impacting the fences on both sides of the Sui army camp gate, and striving to open the camp road at any cost. At the same time, Li Er also kept praying silently in his heart, "God bless, I hope the gap can be opened!" I don't want more, just open a gap! ”

It is definitely worth making Wang Xingben, Cao Qing, Liang Naizhu and others shout that it is fortunate that the officers and men of the Sui army who have just rotated the battalion defense are still relatively concentrated, and their vigilance has not completely subsided. At the same time, the soldiers of the Sui army, who had not yet entered a deep sleep, were also awakened one after another, and did not spend too much time to adapt to the sudden change, so they immediately began to prepare for war at the request of the grassroots generals.

But even so, the situation of the Sui army camp is still very critical, the camp gate and the fence on both sides are shouting to kill the earth-shattering sawdust flying, the antlers outside the camp are quickly destroyed, just dug a small half of the camp trench can not stop the advance of Li Erjun at all, the Sui army soldiers on duty at night can only rely on the thin fence and Li Erjun to contend hard, the fierce offensive Li Erjun soldiers slashed guns and stabbed axes, killed the Sui soldiers in the fence to heavy losses, but also the Sui army camp fence staggered, about to collapse in a blink of an eye.

The shape is too critical, there is no time to wait for Wang Xingben's order, Cao Qing, who is stationed in the front camp, has already ordered to enter the battle with red eyes, and asks his corporals to immediately come forward to help the battle as long as the scale of the school and regiment level does not need to ask for orders, as a result, although Cao Qing lost the opportunity to counterattack with a large team, but he also strengthened the meager troops on the fence defense line, and the Sui army that kept rushing forward slashed the sword and stabbed the shield top, so he barely withstood the impact of Li Erjun's army, and did not give Li Erjun the opportunity to break through the Sui army's camp defense in one fell swoop.

"Why didn't Lao Tzu believe Dashuai's analysis! If Lao Tzu hadn't disbanded the army and continued to ambush in the camp, this battle would have been won! This is the wail of Cao Qing, Liang Naizhu and Wang Xingben beating their chests at the same time.

"God won't help me! I can't imagine that Wang Xingben and Cao Qing, a group of horsemen, can still have such an ability to govern the army! In fact, Li Er was far more annoyed than Cao Qing and Wang Xingben and others, Li Er never expected that the response speed of the Sui army in Huoyi could be so fast, and the soldiers who were attacked in the middle of the night would not be alarmed or chaotic, and they could also assemble and fight at an incredible speed, quickly strengthen the fence defense line, and resist the surprise attack of the self-army - if he hadn't seen the Sui army rush forward to help the battle on a regimental scale, Li Er would almost suspect that the Sui army had actually been prepared.

Fortunately, the first opportunity is still in Li Second, it is indeed that the Sui army of Huoyi, which was attacked in a hurry, only reacted faster than usual, but it still had the shortcomings and weaknesses of insufficient preparation and inability to effectively command the combat team, and was still in a passive disadvantage, Li Er, who was good at capturing fighters, did not forget to seize the opportunity while being annoyed, in addition to ordering Zhu Cang, who was in the vanguard, to continue to attack at any cost, and decisively sent more than 1,000 troops to help the battle again, attacking other positions of the Sui army's fence defense line, looking for a new breakthrough.

At this time, there was also a shout of killing from the north, and the soldiers of the Sui army stationed at the intersection of the north road had not only discovered that the main camp had been attacked, but also finally found that Duan Lunjun, who had quietly touched the approach, led the Sui army, and the Huoyi general Li Xiao was also very decisive, and did not rush back to the camp, but immediately ordered to ignite the trees and weeds piled up on the road, and blocked the Duan Lun army from reinforcing Li Er with fire. The battle with Li Xiaojun was dark, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, just when Wang Xingben hurriedly assembled the main force of the Chinese army to launch a counterattack in the camp of the Chinese army, he unexpectedly appeared, and personally led the death squad of the Li Second Army pioneer general Zhu Cang rose up with divine power, and actually cut the door latch of the Sui army camp with an axe in the melee, Li Erjun daredevils worked hard together, and rushed open the gate of the Sui army camp, Li Erjun cheered together, morale was greatly boosted, Li Er also did not hesitate to order an all-out onslaught, the morale of the Li Second Army was high, and the various units of the Li Second Army with high morale rushed and beat violently, and quickly rushed into the Sui army camp to kill like arson, Soon disrupted the small half of the Sui army's front camp.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xingben, who had already assembled the main force of the Chinese army to prepare for a counterattack, of course complained bitterly, so he could only give up the plan to reinforce the fence position of the front camp and instead go all out to stick to the camp of the Chinese army, and at the same time ordered Cao Qing to drag Li Erjun to the front camp camp at any cost, not to withdraw the Chinese army, and not to give Li Erjun the opportunity to enter the Chinese army camp.

Fortunately, Cao Qing is a brave general promoted by Liu Heimin from the army, from an ordinary soldier to today's position, the best thing is to fight a tough battle, and he regretted that his army gave up the ambush and missed the opportunity, and then heard Wang Xingben's order, Cao Qing not only did not complain about Wang Xingben's unkindness, but also immediately ordered all the troops to move closer to their banners, gather into a group to compete with Li Erjun, and did not give Li Erjun the opportunity to drive his subordinates to attack the Chinese army camp for free. A small number of Sui soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death tried to escape into the Chinese camp to seek protection, but they were also ordered by Wang Xingben to be shot with arrows without hesitation.

Seeing such a picture, Li Er simply wanted to strangle the commander of the Sui army, and scolded the commander of the Sui army for being vicious and cunning, Li Er ordered the first army to go back and attack the rear camp of the Sui army to look for artillery, but as a result, Liang Naizhu of the Sui army guarding the rear camp had already been prepared, and when he saw the enemy coming, he immediately rushed arrows to entertain him, and also did not give Li Erjun a chance to quickly enter the rear camp. Li Er's face turned pale when he heard the report, but he was helpless for a while.

Fortunately, the first opportunity is still in Li Er's hands, and it is only a matter of time before Duan Lun's side breaks through the Sui army's resistance and rushes to reinforcements, Li Er calmly commands the battle, and immediately starts to move his head, quickly thinking about the next contingency plan, "What if I can't break through the camp of the thief army?" The thief army is quite strong, and the frontal knock camp attack, our army is really not sure that it can succeed, but the front camp of the thief army has been broken by our army, and the losses are huge, even if the surprise attack on Duan Zhixuan's side is not successful, the thief army will definitely not dare to continue to be stationed in Lingshi, and will definitely retreat back to Huoyi ....... ”

Thinking of this, Li Er had an idea, and immediately summoned his subordinate general Qin Wutong, and ordered: "You immediately take two regiments of infantry south, go to the south of Lingshi thirty miles away to find suitable terrain to ambush, when the thief army goes south, as long as the thief army artillery team passes by your position, immediately launch an attack, don't you can grab the thief artillery, as long as you can drag the thief army artillery team, so that they can not continue to go south, and buy time for our army's main force to pursue and seize the artillery, I will give you the first credit!" ”

Qin Wutong agreed, but Li Er told him uncomfortably: "Remember, move fast, the faster the better, you must pay attention to concealment, and don't let the thief army notice that you have set up an ambush on the way!" Also, after setting up an ambush, there is no need to intercept the thief army's northward liaison messenger, which is the thief army's emergency messenger, which can help us disturb the thief army's morale, so that they can pass through your defense area at will! If the thief army sends an envoy south, rob and kill with all his might, ask for a clear confession and report to me! ”

Qin Wutong sang a promise, and immediately organized two regiments of infantry to quickly set up an ambush in the south, and after the sky was full of light, he arrived at the interception position thirty miles away from the south according to the order, and found a suitable ambush position in Fenshui's rather urgent position, as a result, Qin Wutong and then led the army to just hide, there were really a few Sui cavalry with rotating war horses and fast horses rushed from the south, the soldiers asked for the order to intercept whether to intercept, Qin Wutong remembered Li Er's order, and let the soldiers let these Sui cavalry pass through the army position without mentioning.

Let's turn the picture back to the Lingshi battlefield, when the sky is bright, Duan Lunjun finally broke through the interception of the Sui army, and rushed to the main battlefield to participate in the battle, but at this moment, the Sui army's various units, which are no longer obstructed, have gradually stabilized their positions after seeing the enemy's situation clearly, Cao Qing led the front battalion army to slowly retreat to the gate of the Chinese army's camp, and retreated to the middle army camp to transfer, and the Li Second Army, which had finished the three-plate axe, was also unable to maintain the previous ferocious momentum because of the lack of troops, and there was no way to break Cao Qing's dense formation, The Chinese army camp that tried to get close to the Sui army was immediately covered by the dense bows and arrows of the Sui army soldiers, and there was nothing to be done, but to watch Cao Qing and the army gradually withdraw into the Chinese army camp.

Duan Lun also rushed with the army, but his army was very tired after marching overnight, and fought a vicious battle with Li Xiaobu of the Sui army at the intersection, although the victory aggravated the exhaustion, the offensive was not fierce enough, and he was also unable to break Cao Qing's army, let alone take advantage of the situation to kill the camp of the Sui army, and with the Sui army Cao Qing's troops all entering the camp, the Sui army's dense feather arrows were covered, Duan Lun could only helplessly give up the attack, and then immediately found his second brother-in-law Li Er, and discussed the next plan with Li Er.

Li Er first gave Duan Lun a general introduction to last night's situation, admitting that he had underestimated the enemy's cohesion and speed of response, which led to the failure of the battle of the camp, and at the same time introduced to Duan Lun that he had arranged an ambush on the southern road, and then said to Duan Lun: "Brother-in-law, the thief army already has a camp to defend, and in a hurry, our army has been unable to quickly break the enemy, so it is better to withdraw the troops and return to the city to rest, and when the thief army receives the news of Huo Yi's urgency and hastily withdraws its troops, it is not too late for us to send troops to pursue and seize the artillery." ”

"What if Duan Zhixuan doesn't succeed there?" Duan Lun asked.

"It's okay if you don't succeed." Li Er replied with a confident smile: "Not to mention that the strength of the Huoyi thief army is empty and cannot go north to respond, Wang Xingben can only retreat as much as possible." It doesn't matter if he sticks to the camp and waits for Liu Heimin's Linfen rescuers, in the battle last night, his army has been severely damaged, and when your army has rested and recovered its combat strength, you and I will march hand in hand again, and there is still a great hope of breaking through his camp. ”

Glancing at the front camp of the Sui army strewn with corpses, and then at the tired soldiers under his command, Duan Lun quickly nodded, agreed to Li Er's construction, and joined hands with Li Er to withdraw the troops and withdraw to Lingshi City to rest, and at the same time let the defenders in the city rush to make dry food torches for pursuit.

As analyzed by Li Er, Wang Xingben and Cao Qing and other Sui generals who suffered a lot of losses did immediately have plans to retreat, especially considering that it was indeed difficult for Huoyi to provide strong reinforcements for the army, Wang Xingben, Cao Qing and others after discussion, after discussion, finally unanimously decided to withdraw as much as possible to preserve their strength. Fortunately, this time the Sui army did not bring too much grain and grass baggage, and it was very convenient to retreat, and the camp tent and a small amount of grain and grass baggage could be loaded into a truck, and the fence antlers and siege weapons that were made in appearance could be burned down, so that Li Er could not find a chance to move back to cook.

Only those fake artillery pieces are more troublesome, each of the twelve guns weighs more than 1,000 catties, and it is troublesome and slow down to transport, which is obviously not suitable for carrying with the army, and it is useless to bring back the fake and shoddy products made of cheap pig iron, so Wang Xingben and Cao Qing both planned to throw away the matter. Fortunately, Liu Heimin's advice to Liang Naizhu before leaving played a role, so that Liang Naizhu said: "General Wang, let's take the artillery away, the marshal once explained, these artillery pieces are the key to the main force of the Tang King to fight the grass and scare the snake, even if it is fake, it cannot be lightly exposed, if we give up directly, the thief army will definitely know that it is fake, it is better to take it away with the army, and then it is best to bring it back to Huoyi, of course, it is best to take it back to Huoyi, and if you don't give up on the road, the enemy will also believe that it is true, and it will be wasted to waste a lot of money and food to be imitated." ”

Feeling that Liang Naizhu's construction was reasonable, Wang Xingben immediately adopted it, and immediately arranged the retreat order, led by Cao Qing and Li Xiao to lead the tired and wounded soldiers to serve as the vanguard, Liang Naizhu escorted the artillery to the center, and Wang Xingben personally led the new force behind the palace, and then just at noon, the Sui army abandoned the camp and retreated to the south, and when he left, he also burned the fence and the siege equipment of the rear camp.

Knowing that the Sui army really abandoned the camp and retreated, Li Er and Duan Lun were overjoyed, and immediately gathered troops and horses out of the city to chase and kill, but it was also a little late, Cao Qing and Liang Naizhu led the Sui army in front of the second army had already retreated into the narrow road, and at the same time Wang Xingben led the new force to guard the intersection and wait, slowly withdrawing step by step, not giving Li Er and Duan Lun a chance to immediately catch up with the Sui army's artillery team. Li Er and Duan Lun had already laid an ambush, so they were not in a hurry about it, but they carefully kept their distance from Wang Xingben's rear army, waiting for the upcoming opportunity to break the enemy.

Under normal circumstances, the second brother Li, who had prepared for a rainy day, was of course sure to win, as long as the ambush troops arranged in advance suddenly killed, Li Erjun could not only ensure that the vital Sui army artillery was obtained, but also definitely be able to defeat the Huoyi Sui army again. But the only miscalculation of the extremely smart Second Brother Li is that there is also a very smart Liu Heizi who is also wonderful, and just when he and Duan Lun just caught up with Wang Xingben's rear army, the emergency messenger sent by Liu Heizi had already seen Liang Naizhu, the general of the Sui army, who was escorting the artillery, and gave Liang Naizhu a very interesting order............

The distance of thirty miles was originally not far, and a healthy adult could easily walk it in an hour and a half at most, and a rapid march was an hour's journey, but because he was carrying a heavy artillery of almost two thousand catties and one piece, it took the Sui army more than two hours to barely complete this distance, and as a result, this not only made Li Er and Duan Lun more convinced that their real goal was ahead, but also made them and Qin Wutong, who had been ambushed here, anxious. When he finally saw the soldiers of the Sui army pushing heavy artillery in front of the ambush position of the own army, Qin Wutong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gave the order to attack.

The enemy was outnumbered, Qin Wutong did not stupidly rush out with more than 400 people to find death, and chose to throw rocks and rolling trees on the high ground to block the road, disrupt the Sui army and not give the Sui army a chance to transport the artillery, Liang Naizhu, who led the Chinese army to escort the artillery, was taken aback, and hurried to see the situation of Fenshui in the west, and saw that the Fenshui in this area happened to be a turbulent and turbulent water, Liang Naizhu was immediately happy, and while ordering the army to go up the mountain to fight, he ordered the artillery team: "Immediately!" Push all the artillery into the river for the thieves to fish! ”

The soldiers of the Sui army, who hated these heavy artillery pieces so much, were overjoyed when they heard the order, and confirmed that Liang Naizhu's words were not a joke, and quickly used their strength to push the cannons down the river. When Qin Wutong was shocked when he saw this situation on the high ground, and hurriedly led his army down the mountain to block it, Cao Qing had already brought the former army back to help him, and joined forces with Liang Naizhu to kill Qin Wutong and retreat to the mountain.

All the artillery went into Fenshui to feed the Dragon King, and the soldiers of the Sui army, who did not stop doing it, pushed the baggage cart into a ball, and immediately set fire to the road after the palace army led by Wang Xingben retreated to this area, and then quickly fled to the south, leaving the rear army led by Li Er and Duan Lun helpless in the face of the sea of fire, and also made Li Er furious at the place where the artillery fell into the water, "Piff! Piff! Huo Yi, these puppets, these traitors! What should I do now that the artillery was pushed into Fenshui? What to do? ”

"Right Governor, can we just fish up the artillery?"

There are subordinates who are kind enough to build yì, but what greets him is Li Er's loud slap, and the distorted thunderous roar of Jun's face, "Fish?!" The water here is so fast, how to fish? You can fish it for me! There are not enough people to fish, and there are more people to fish, isn't it just the opportunity for the thief army to force us to fight a war of attrition, and the opportunity to eat us bite by bite?! ”R1148
