Chang He smiled bitterly in his heart, he understood that King Qi wanted to escape, but helplessly, he had to take the gold medal, "Thank you Your Highness for your trust, I will definitely hold the camp!" ”

Of course, this kind of rhetoric has no practical significance, and Chang He said in a low voice: "Your Highness is a golden body, and it is important to keep the dragon body, but I humbly advise Your Highness not to leave now." ”

"Why?" Li Yuanji was stunned.

"Your Highness, if you are not mistaken, the Sui army must have laid down interception troops behind, if Your Highness leaves now, it will inevitably get into the net of the Sui army, and finally take advantage of the chaos of the army, the Sui army has no time to distinguish and can escape."

Li Yuanji escaped once in Taiyuan, he has experience, Chang He said it really makes sense, but the words can't be said so obviously.

Li Yuanji's face sank and said: "I am the prince, how can I escape from the battle, you don't talk nonsense." ”

Chang He was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes!" The lowly did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. ”

Li Yuanji snorted heavily, turned his horse's head and left, Chang He looked at his back and walked away, only then did he sneer, if Li Yuanji escaped too early, and when the chaos started, he would become the focus of Sui Jun's attention, he was not so stupid.

At this moment, the war drums of the Sui army beat 'Boom! The drum of the attack shook the sky, and I saw a thousand-strong infantry marching towards the Tang army camp.

Step by step, the movement is extremely slow, but every step is as dignified as a mountain, and the more than 1,000 infantry are like Mount Tai pressing the top.

They held long sabers in one hand and shields in the other, wearing heavy armor, murderous, like soldiers cast of steel, their momentum pressed in the hearts of the Tang soldiers, making them breathless.

Whether it was the main general Chang He or ordinary soldiers, they had never seen this kind of heavy infantry, and their hearts suddenly panicked and they retreated one after another. Chang He raised his knife and shouted: "Don't panic, shoot arrows!" ”

The eight thousand crossbow soldiers fired their arrows together, and suddenly the arrows were like a storm, and they shot intensively towards the thousand Mo sword heavy armored soldiers who were a hundred paces away.......

A hundred paces away, a thousand heavily armored Mo sword troops had already lined up in formation, fifty people in a row, a total of twenty rows, and the drums of the attack had already sounded. The heavily armored Mo sword army slaughtered towards the Tang camp step by step.

A hundred paces away. The arrows of the Tang army could not be shot, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Sui army were lined up, and they were holding spears. Restraining the eager war horse, every soldier had an unbearable excitement in his eyes.

Yang Yuanqing stared coldly at Tang Jun's final madness from afar, but the overly dense arrows still made him a little worried. He immediately shouted: "Horse shooting counterattack!" ”

The order was immediately issued, the drums were thunderous, Xie Yingdeng led five thousand archers to rush out in response, and the archers ran in the moonlit night, and the dense arrows shot at the Tang camp.

The arrows were like a torrential rain, flying all over the sky, and the sudden rain of arrows from the Sui army suddenly caused the Tang soldiers to be hit by arrows one after another, and the screams rang out, killing and wounding countless people. The crossbowmen of the Tang army retreated one after another, and the arrow array of the Tang army was suppressed.

The shields in the hands of the first two rows of heavy armored soldiers have been shattered by the rain of arrows, and the heavy armor on their bodies cannot withstand the blows of the high-intensity arrow rain, and they have been riddled with holes, and the heavy armored soldiers in the first two rows have been killed or wounded seventy or eighty people.

But with the counterattack of the Tang army's archers, the pressure on the heavily armored soldiers suddenly weakened. They began to regroup and continue the offensive against the Don army battalion.

The spear spurs on the periphery of the Tang army camp are about fifty paces wide, and the tip of the spear is outward, and with the bow and arrow, it can indeed play a certain defensive role. But when the bow and arrow were ineffective against the hoplites, the fifty-pace-wide, dense spear spikes became an ornament.

The first platoon of hoplites killed. Xue Liang's Mo knife slashed, dozens of spear thorns were cut off one by one, debris flew one after another, and the spear stabbing array was instantly killed into a big mouth.

The crossbowmen of the Tang army were terrified, and they retreated, at this time he was sweating profusely, and scolded the king of Qi for being stupid, and stationed the camp in the flat wilderness, giving the Sui cavalry the convenience of impact, once the gap was broken, the Sui cavalry would definitely be killed.

Seeing that the heavy infantry of the Sui army was about to open a gap, Chang He immediately ordered in a loud voice, "The spear army is in formation!" ”

The general beside him asked in surprise: "May I ask the general, how many soldiers are in formation?" ”

Chang He glared at him viciously, "All the spear troops, all in formation!" ”

Several partial generals rushed away, Chang He Huo turned his head, staring at the Sui army and the Mo Dao army almost in despair, 10,000 spear troops were his last ray of hope, if the spear army and military vehicles could not stop the Sui army, then the Tang army would inevitably collapse in this battle.

The 10,000 Tang spearmen were quickly mobilized, and they were also lined up in twenty rows of five hundred men each, with several troop vehicles placed in front.

This is also the traditional method of infantry against cavalry in the Sui and Tang dynasties of the two Jin and Sui dynasties, using military vehicles as a block, and a spear army in a dense formation.

After all, the new army of the Tang Dynasty has experienced nearly a year of training, and the 10,000 spear army quickly lined up in front of the East Battalion, and the 10,000 spears were as dense as a forest, but before they finished arranging, a thousand heavily armored Mo sword troops had already opened the gap in the Tang camp and entered the Tang army camp......

Yang Yuanqing did not order the cavalry to attack, he was still waiting for the battle situation in another place, 20,000 cavalry only frontal attack, but this is not his Yang Yuanqing's style, his style is a combination of positive and odd, only a frontal attack without surprise soldiers, it is difficult to guarantee a big victory.

At the same time that the Modao Army attacked the Tang camp, in the southwest corner of the Tang army camp, a strange army composed of twenty cavalry scouts also slowly approached the Tang army camp.

The first lieutenant is Xiao Yannian, and he and his twenty subordinates are all dressed as cavalry of the Tang Army, the only difference is that a white feather is inserted in the helmet.

Hundreds of miles away, he stared at a two-foot tall watchtower, on which the sentry sentry swayed faintly.

Xiao Yannian waved his hand to stop the cavalry from coming forward, he rode his horse and galloped towards the sentry tower, the sentry had already found a cavalry running, at this time there was already chaos in the Tang camp, and it was no longer worth making a fuss about a cavalry rushing.

The sentry raised his crossbow and aimed at the rushing cavalry, but at this moment, a small black dot appeared in front of his eyes, and before he could react, 'Poof! With a thud, an arrow pierced his skull.

There was not even a scream, the corpse of the sentry rolled down from the watchtower, Xiao Yannian coldly put away his bow, waved his hand into the distance, and four or five soldiers galloped over, they did not ride horses, and they looked extremely small in the open field.

There were only twenty of them, and they could not let the Don troops in the large camp find out that they existed, and the target had to be as small as possible.

At this time, the Tang army had been diverted from the Sui army's attack in Dongdaying, and almost all of the 30,000 Tang troops were concentrated in Dongdaying. In the southwest corner, there were only a thousand defenders, sparsely distributed on a defensive line several miles long.

If the Sui army was in the hundreds, it would definitely be discovered, thus alerting the defenders, and the target of four or five Sui soldiers was too small for anyone to notice them.

The five Sui army scouts worked together and quickly pulled out a piece of spear thorns deployed in the southwest corner, a short tea time. A passage one foot wide was opened. Push away the cart that is enclosed in the inner circle.

At this time, Xiao Yannian waved his hand again, and the fifteen cavalrymen behind him galloped towards him. Five Sui soldiers flew up and rushed into the Tang army camp with everyone.

They were dressed exactly the same as the Don Army, and they galloped through the Don camp. No one would have thought that they would be Sui scouts who had infiltrated the camp.

The sudden killing of the Sui army made the Tang army unprepared, they did not have time to dismantle the camp tent, and the Tang army sentries on the periphery had withdrawn, which left a hidden danger, if it was Qu Tutong, he would be very aware of this hidden danger.

But for the more mediocre Chang He, in the chaos, he didn't realize this hidden danger, and King Qi, who didn't have any combat experience. He didn't realize it, but for Yang Yuanqing, who had experienced a hundred battles, he was very aware of the existence of this hidden danger, and he wanted to make full use of him.

Yang Yuanqing used 20,000 cavalry as bait to attract the Tang army to defend Dongying, just to create an opportunity for the scout team led by Xiao Yannian.

Twenty Sui scouts ran through the tents until they reached the East Camp. Almost all of the 30,000 Tang troops were concentrated here, and on the easternmost side were 10,000 dense spearmen, who were already in array, shouting and killing to the sky, and were fighting fiercely with the 1,000 Mo sword heavy armored infantry who rushed into the camp.

Behind them were eight thousand crossbowmen who had withdrawn. Then there were 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 5,000 defenders scattered scattered throughout the camp.

Xiao Yannian saw that no one noticed them. He gave a low order, and everyone rode towards a big tent, with a few torches inserted outside the big tent, Xiao Yannian galloped over, pulled out the torches sideways, and threw them on the big tent.

The tent was quickly set on fire, and twenty Sui cavalry galloped through the dense tent, constantly throwing torches at the tent.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of large tents were ignited by fire, and the fire became more and more intense, gradually joining together, and the fire began to extend in depth, and where the twenty cavalry passed, the big tent was a sea of fire.

The Tang army had already noticed them, and a partial general led more than 100 people to kill them, but Xiao Yannian was not in a hurry, and ordered his subordinates to continue to set fires, he turned over and dismounted, and stuck thirty arrows upside down on the ground.

He knelt with a bow, pulled his bow and released arrows, the arrows were like beads, there was no false hair, and he shot more than a dozen Tang soldiers in a row, and the partial general who led the team was also shot through the throat with an arrow, turned over and fell off his horse.

The rest of the Tang army didn't dare to step forward, he suddenly shouted, scattered and fled, Xiao Yannian sneered, he turned over and got on his horse, took out a pot of rockets from the horse bag, and put it on his back, and the soldiers of the Sui army followed suit and used rockets instead.

The horses galloped, sideways on the burning tent and ignited the rockets, one rocket after another shot at the tent in all directions......

Yang Yuanqing saw that the Tang camp was in flames, and knew that the strange soldiers had succeeded, and the Tang army was gone, so he immediately ordered his generals: "There is no need to attack the camp, each lead the cavalry to encircle and suppress the defeated soldiers, and take prisoners to remember the merits!" ”

Everyone received the order, each with thousands of cavalry to run to the periphery, Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered, "Heavy armor soldiers stop attacking!" ”

The bell rang, this was the news of stopping the attack and gradually withdrawing the troops, and the more than eight hundred heavily armored Mo sword troops stopped attacking forward and began to retreat gradually.

At this time, the Tang army camp was already a sea of fire, the flames were in the air, the smoke was billowing, the huge tongue of fire swallowed the sky, and the blazing fire was scorching the 30,000 Tang army.

There was not enough safe space in the small camp, the fire had engulfed the entire camp, and the morale of the Tang soldiers was broken, they scrambled to pull out their spears and spurs, and fled in all directions outside the camp, and they were greeted by the net laid by the Sui cavalry
