The conscience of heaven and earth, since his debut under the account of protecting his children, the famous general Qin Qiong has never been so sloppy as during this time, even when he followed Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji to lose the battle, Qin Qiong was not so unlucky, he would be defeated by the same opponent one after another with less, with weak and strong, and he had no temper, and he couldn't even find a chance to take revenge. This time, he finally seized the opportunity to lead the army again, of course, Qin Qiong was full of strength, and vowed to recover this face from Dou Jiande's brother-in-law Cao Dan and wash away the bad luck recently!

Qin Qiong's subordinates did the same, before they set off to leave Linfen, Qin Qiong's Gu Nenggui, Xiong Wei and other generals couldn't wait to start shouting, saying that this time they would beat Cao's brother-in-law all over the ground no matter what, and also beat Wang Fubao's original deputy Dong Kangmai over and beat him violently, and vented his anger on Wang Fubao's boss and subordinates. Xiong Wei, who had been following Qin Qiong as early as when he was in Qi County, volunteered early, and said: "General, please let the last general serve as the vanguard first, and go to the thief camp to fight first, the thief army will definitely fight when they see that we have few soldiers, and the last general will guarantee a good start!" ”

"General, I also want to be a pioneer." Gu Nenggui also hurriedly asked for an order, and added: "The last general not only guarantees a good start, but also guarantees to come back with three hundred enemy heads, and one less general is willing to accept military law!" ”

Xiong Wei was anxious when he heard this, and when he hurriedly argued with Gu Nenggui, Qin Qiong stopped them, and said with a strange smile: "Since Xiong Wei asked for the order first, then you should go first, but you can't open the door, you have to give me a loss and escape back, and then Gu Nenggui you go up, you still have to give me a loss and escape back." ”

"General, are you joking?" Xiong Wei and Gu Nenggui froze.

"Of course it's not a joke, this is still a personal order from His Royal Highness King Tang." Qin Qiong smiled even more strangely, first explained Chen Fuliang's arrangements to the two right-hand men, and then said with a wicked smile: "Originally, I was still worried, in the end, I sent those two unlucky people to eat the defeat, since the two of you are rushing to be the vanguard, then you will be you, when both of you have suffered defeat and completed the explanation of His Royal Highness the King of Tang, this general will be relieved to kill the enemy." ”

Gu Nenggui and Xiong Wei were bitter when they heard this, and it was too late to hurry up and push it again, Qin Qiong had already forcibly assigned the task of deception to them, and the second general could only accept the order with a sad face. Qin Qiong, who let go of his worries, was proud, but Xiong, who was quite brainy, had an idea, and hurriedly said: "General Qin, the terrain in the area of Yueyang still remembers, the road west of Yueyang City, the north of the twenty miles is full of mountains and forests, the most suitable for ambush However, it is better for us to defeat two formations during the day, and take the opportunity to run to that area at night to ambush, and then the general, you personally go out to lure the enemy, lead the enemy to our ambush, we take the opportunity to kill the enemy into two sections, you turn back and kill, attack on both sides, won't you get bigger?" ”

"Well, I also remember that the terrain in that area is very suitable for ambushes." Qin Qiong nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can create chaos by attacking the enemy's flank, and I will take the opportunity to directly take the thief army master to grasp it even more, okay, that's it!" ”

It was only after agreeing that Qin Qiong woke up and realized that he had been fooled, and then saw the evil smiles on his faces, and roared: "Two horsemen, dare to play me, and deliberately want me to accompany you to cheat for a while, right?" After that, Qin Qiong feigned anger and raised the lance, Gu Nenggui and Xiong Wei laughed and hurriedly ran away, and more than 6,000 Sui troops also strode towards Yueyang in the northeast direction amid the laughter and laughter of the generals of the Sui army, and the pace was still extremely fast.

…………

When he first received the news of the Sui army's troops, Cao's brother-in-law, who had just offended Chen Fuliang, was nervous and asked how many troops the Sui army was, who would come? And when he learned that the Sui army was only about 6,000 soldiers, and the commander of the Sui army was Qin Qiong, who had been disgraced in front of Dou Jun several times before, Cao's brother-in-law immediately laughed out loud and said with a smile: "There is no one available under the account of the thief Chen?" He even sent this defeated general of ours again, does the thief think that he has not lost enough? ”

Ruan Junming, Zhang Jinzhong and Yuan Ge and other Cao brother-in-law's henchmen and generals echoed and laughed, saying that this was exactly the case, but Dong Kangmai, who had won the victory with Wang Fubao on Qin Qiong, was calmer and admonished Cao's brother-in-law: "General Cao, it is better to be careful, Qin Qiong was already famous for his bravery when he was under the account of Zhang Xutuo in Qi County, and he was defeated by our army twice before, but it was just because of the lack of defense of the enemy for a while, and the second time was completely insufficient strength, and was blocked by Wang Fubao's rebellion, and was broken by the Taiyuan friendly army, and lost in strength, That doesn't mean he's useless, and we need to be careful. ”

Brother-in-law Cao pursed his lips and sneered, and said, "So what? His strength is even more insufficient, our total strength is 16,000, he only has 6,000 men, 10,000 more troops than him, it is easier to break him! ”

"General Cao, it's better to be careful." Dong Kangmai insisted on a sentence, and then said: "Qin Qiong only led 6,000 troops to come, obviously wanting to temporarily contain our army, so that we could not fully strengthen the city defense and establish a strong camp, so that the main force of Chen Thief could send troops to attack our army. In this case, we might as well ignore him, build a fortress as usual, and defend the wall, so as to meet the main force of Chen Thief in the future. If Qin Qiong takes the initiative to attack, we will rely on the fortifications of the city camp to cover, and it will not be difficult to defeat. ”

"No need to bother!" Brother-in-law Cao categorically refused with a wave of his hand, and said: "Qin Qiong'er is too famous, there is nothing to be afraid of, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Chen thief is still on the way, we will go all out to fight when he comes, fight a big victory to boost morale, and then it will be much easier to deal with the main force of the Chen thief." ”

Although he felt that Cao's brother-in-law's mentality was too light, but considering Cao's brother-in-law's cautious eyes, Dong Kangmai still didn't dare to continue to insist, and at the same time, after the matter came to this point, Dong Kangmai, who didn't like Wang Fubao before, inevitably missed his old comrades-in-arms a little, and said secretly: "It would be good if that horseman was here, although that horseman was annoying, but if he fought with him, at least there was no need to be as worried as now." ”

Linfen is not too far from Yueyang, and the rapid march is a day's journey, but in order to let the soldiers save their physical strength, Qin Qiong, who has learned a lesson and no longer dares to have any thoughts of underestimating the enemy, is still cautious, and the army has just arrived in Yang County, so he ordered to set up camp and rest, and at the same time sent more scouts to closely reconnoiter the movement in front, and did not dare to directly advance to Yueyang City, where the surrounding terrain was far more complex than Yang County, as he did last time. And after the Dou army scout reported Qin Qiongjun's movements to Cao's brother-in-law, Cao's brother-in-law naturally ridiculed Qin Qiong's timidity again, and despised Qin Qiongjun even more.

Early the next morning, Qin Qiong's army continued to march towards Yueyang, and let Xiong Wei lead an army of 1,000 as the vanguard, at this time Qin Qiong was naturally a little worried that the Dou army would not go out of the camp to fight, but Qin Qiong soon found that he was completely worried in vain, when Xiong Wei's army was still seven or eight miles away from Yueyang City, Cao's brother-in-law couldn't wait to order troops to meet the battle-fortunately, Cao's brother-in-law just shouted fiercely, but in fact, he was still more cautious in using troops, and did not immediately lead the main force to fight in person, Instead, he ordered Zhang Jinzhong to lead 2,000 infantry out of the camp to test the reality of the Sui army and grasp the specific situation of the Sui army.

The two armies will fight in the field, Xiong Wei, who is destined to lose the battle, deliberately arranged a yoke array that is easy to maneuver but lacks attack power in order to escape, Zhang Jinzhong saw the Sui army's formation and sneered, and ordered the army to arrange a sharp arrow array with strong attack power, and launched an attack first, only used a charge, and pierced half of the Sui army's yoke array, Xiong Wei, who did not organize the defense at all, got off the donkey, and immediately fled with the army to the way he came, Zhang Jinzhong won easily, A lot of banners and ordnance were captured, and some unlucky Sui soldiers who fled slowly were also killed, and they pursued for more than ten miles until they saw the main force of the Sui army approaching, and then they collected their troops and retreated to the camp.

After returning to the camp, Zhang Jinzhong, who won easily and refreshingly, reported to Cao's brother-in-law, saying that the Dou army only needs to send 5,000 troops to compete with Qin Qiong's entire army, and 7,000 troops can ensure victory.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Qiong's army, which was moving forward carefully, approached Yueyang and set up camp ten miles west of Yueyang, and then Qin Qiong sent Gu Nenggui to lead an army of 1,000 to the east to fight, and most of the generals of the Dou army rushed to fight, and finally Ruan Junming, who could speak in front of Dou Jiande, overwhelmed everyone and was able to lead an army of 2,000 out of the camp to fight. In order to grasp the enemy's situation, Cao's brother-in-law also ordered Ruan Junming to face the battle in front of the big camp gate, and he personally climbed to the high place of the camp and condescended to observe the battlefield situation.

According to Qin Qiong's request, Gu Nenggui was not as lazy as Xiong Wei this time, but took the army and Ruan Junming to fight with a real knife in front of the Dou military camp, and only after charging and fighting did it all before pretending to be invincible and fleeing - it can't be completely pretended, Dou Jian's German army is actually quite capable of fighting, so Gu Nenggui, who didn't dare to use all his strength, suffered quite a lot of losses on the battlefield, and it took more than 100 people to finally get rid of the entanglement of the Dou army and escape, while Ruan Junming led the army to chase him to the vicinity of the Sui army camp. It wasn't until he saw Qin Qiong personally leading the army out of the camp to meet him that he retreated.

More than 100 soldiers of the Sui army also sacrificed very valuable, and seeing with their own eyes the defeat of the Sui army's combat effectiveness and disguise, Cao's brother-in-law also had a bottom in his heart, and truly believed that the self-army could indeed defeat Qin Qiong's army easily, and immediately decided in his heart to personally lead the main force to fight the next day, and solve the Qin Qiong army that was not feared at all in one fell swoop. However, what Cao's brother-in-law did not expect was that on the night of the same day, the two generals of the Sui army, Xiong Wei and Gu Nenggui, who had been defeated in front of his subordinates during the day, each led 500 elite soldiers out of the camp quietly and ambushed them in the mountains and forests in the north five miles west of the Sui army's camp, gritting their teeth and waiting for his main army to arrive.

The moment to decide the outcome finally came, the next morning, Qin Qiong personally raised 4,000 troops out of the camp, and once again came to the front of the Dou military camp to fight, and this time, Cao's brother-in-law no longer had any hesitation, just after receiving the report, he ordered to dispatch 8,000 troops, and he personally led the camp to meet the battle, Dong Kangmai persuaded Cao's brother-in-law not to send troops in person, and was punished by Cao's brother-in-law to stay in the camp to defend the camp.

Coincidentally, the place where Qin Qiong and Cao's brother-in-law fought happened to be the location where Qin Qiong was accidentally attacked by Wang Fubao, so he revisited the place and remembered the shameful past, Qin Qiong couldn't help but pat his horse and personally go out to call for battle, Cao's brother-in-law sneered and ordered Zhang Jinzhong to lead the army to charge the battle, directly impacting the front of the Sui army's position, Qin Qiong feigned resistance, so that the Chinese army resolutely resisted Zhang Jinzhong's impact, and did not retreat half a step for a long time. Cao's brother-in-law saw that he was angry, relying on the large number of soldiers, and ordered the first army to detour back to charge the right wing of the Sui army, and Qin Qiong also began to cheat the defeat, deliberately let the right wing collapse and flee first, and then pretended to be defeated and led the whole army to retreat.

Although it took some effort to beat Qin Qiong away than expected, the more this is the case, the more brother-in-law Cao believes that Qin Qiong is not a fraud, and secretly happy, brother-in-law Cao, who refused to miss the fighter, did not hesitate, and immediately ordered a pursuit, personally led 8,000 troops to chase down the Qin Qiong army who fled in embarrassment, and the soldiers of the Dou army who were looking forward to the reward after the war were all vying for the first, all of them were brave, and they ran faster than one in the pursuit, and they also unconsciously messed up some formations.

The marathon of 10,000 people began, because Dou Jian's German army pursued too closely, the Sui soldiers who rushed to run first inevitably had some confusion, and they just followed Qin Qiong's banner to the west, and Cao's brother-in-law saw this picture and did not doubt it, and led the army to charge forward with confidence, and chased Qin Qiong's chrysanthemum all the way to the Sui army camp. As a result, the defenders of the Sui army camp, who had no time to build strong fortifications, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately abandoned the camp and fled westward, Qin Qiong did not dare to expect this temporary camp to be able to stop the pursuers, and fled directly across the camp with the defeated army.

After chasing five or six miles to the west, Cao's brother-in-law, who had been fighting on the battlefield for several years, finally found that the situation was wrong - why did Qin Qiongjun never have the intention of fleeing in the direction of Yang County in the southwest, and only went west? This suspicion was born, but the brother-in-law Cao, who was arrogant on the surface but very cautious in his heart, also made a decision immediately, immediately reined in the horse's head, and loudly ordered to stop the pursuit and reorganize the team.

Cao's brother-in-law's order was a little late, and before the order to stop had time to spread all over the advance, the gunpowder bottle was already exploding in the mountains and forests to the north, Xiong Wei and Gu Nenggui each led the ambush soldiers to shout and kill, condescendingly to attack the waist of the long snake battle naturally formed by the Dou army in the pursuit battle, and Qin Qiong, who had fled in front, also immediately led the army to turn around and roared loudly to kill again.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush!" Cao's brother-in-law was once taken aback by the Sui army's sudden ambush, but after carefully seeing the Sui army's ambush strength, Cao's brother-in-law suddenly laughed out loud again and shouted: "Order all armies to move closer to our army's handsome banner, and form a square circle array to play with the Chen thief army!" ”

Indeed, the ambush of the Sui army is indeed pitiful, only a thousand people are still divided into two to attack separately, and at the same time, the Sui army is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of total strength, which cannot be compared with the existing strength of Cao's brother-in-law, Cao's brother-in-law can easily consume the Qin Qiong army that even lost the camp as long as he gathers the army. However, Cao's brother-in-law quickly discovered two things, the first is that the victory on the battlefield is never determined by the number of troops, and the second is that the generals of Qin Qiong's army have always teased him before, and they have never really fought with him at all.

The moment of revenge and shame finally came, the soldiers of the Sui army went up to the main general Qin Qiong, and went down to the ordinary soldiers, all of them roared like thunder with red eyes, and their blood was boiling and fierce like flying, and they were crazy to slash and kill all the enemies on the opposite side like a tiger descending from the mountain. Unable to deal with it, he was killed all over the ground in a blink of an eye, with heavy casualties, and the ambush soldiers led by Xiong Wei and Gu Nenggui also successfully inserted the waist of the Dou army, cutting the long snake formation of Dou Jiande's army into three sections.

In the melee, of course, Qin Qiong was directly at the place where Cao's brother-in-law's handsome banner was, although there was a Zhang Jinzhong who rushed in front in the middle, Zhang Jinzhong also immediately commanded the army to intercept, but Zhang Jinzhong was immediately stunned to see that Qin Qiong, who was the first soldier, was like a steel knife cutting tofu, and easily and directly pierced the Dou army horizontal team intercepted in front of him one after another, and everywhere he went, it was like a wave opening and turning, and everyone was invincible, and the soldiers of the Sui army also followed closely behind Qin Qiong, chopping wood with a giant axe. The Dou army that was intercepting in front of it one after another split in half.

Fortunately, Qin Qiong's target this time was not Zhang Jinzhong, and he rushed straight past Zhang Jinzhong with the army, Zhang Jinzhong didn't dare to go up to stop him, and watched Qin Qiong lead the army straight to Cao's brother-in-law Shuai Qi, so frightened that his hands and feet were a little numb, and a thought immediately came to his mind, "He didn't fight us seriously before!" ”

Then it was naturally the turn of Uncle Cao's heart to be frightened, behind him there was already Xiong Wei leading the soldiers of the Sui Army to slash and kill frantically, and it was difficult to even retreat, and then saw Qin Qiong like a ghost descending to kill him directly, unstoppable, in addition to shouting, Uncle Cao had no thoughts left in his mind, "Resist!" Resist! Resist me! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Shoot me the arrows! ”

The effect of shouting and shouting was minimal, and in the panic and crowding, the Dou soldiers had no time to line up a dense horizontal team to block them, and the feather arrows shot out in a hurry were not without much power, but the accuracy was very outrageous, Qin Qiong continued to advance all the way, and the Dou soldiers fell to the ground one after another between the rise and fall of the horse lance, and in the blink of an eye, they were already less than thirty steps away from Cao's brother-in-law. And at this moment, Cao's brother-in-law, who had been fighting on the battlefield for several years, finally came back to his senses and shouted two absolutely correct orders, "Put down my handsome flag!" Come on! ”

Shouting, Cao's brother-in-law took the lead in capturing the horse and fled to the open south, and his personal soldier standard-bearer also hurriedly put down the damn Cao Zishuai flag, as a result, Qin Qiong was no longer able to find Cao's brother-in-law in the chaos, and the Dou army soldiers who had the opportunity to gather into a group to wait for reinforcements were unlucky, and in the case of not being able to find a close target, the Dou army could only run around on the battlefield like headless flies, and the soldiers of the Sui army took the opportunity to rush and beat hard, killing Dou Jian's German army to the point of crying wolf, and suffering heavy casualties. And then naturally, even after Dou Jiande became emperor, the Dou soldiers who were not good at fighting tough battles were of course fleeing for their lives, and the various units of the Sui army took the opportunity to get closer to each other and return to the team, chasing and slashing the enemy's defeated army under the leadership of Qin Qiong.

At the same time, after receiving the news of Cao's brother-in-law's ambush, in order to prevent accidents, Dong Kangmai, who stayed in the camp, immediately led two thousand troops westward to respond, but Dong Kangmai's actions were still a step too late, and it was too late to save the doom of the Dou army's defeat anyway. The Sui army drove the enemy's defeated army as the vanguard, and pursued it all the way to the gate of Cao's brother-in-law's camp, killing and capturing many prisoners.

At the critical moment, Cao's brother-in-law arranged the defenders in Yueyang City played a role, seeing the main force defeated and fleeing back, afraid that the defeated army would collapse the camp, Gao Yaxian, the general of the Dou army stationed in Yueyang City and Liu Heimin's good friend in history, hurriedly led the army of 2,000 out of the city to respond, attacking the flank of the Sui army, Qin Qiong's hands were too few troops to take risks, so he could only quickly order the army to stop the whole team, line up to kill Gao Yaxian, and missed the precious opportunity to take the opportunity to break through Cao's brother-in-law's camp, watched the defeated soldiers of the chaotic Dou army flee back to the camp under the cover of Gao Yaxian.

"Lucky for you today!" When retreating, Qin Qiong, who was never satisfied with this result, pointed at the Dou army camp with a horse lance and scolded hatefully, "Today I thought there were few soldiers, and when our main force arrived, see how I killed you all!" ”

"Chen Thief is only six thousand pioneers, so powerful, and when his main force arrives, how can we resist?" When Cao's brother-in-law finally escaped back to the camp, he discussed with the generals in fear, "The mountain road from Yueyang to Shangdang is too narrow and rugged, and it is not suitable for the main march at all. Otherwise, let's take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Chen thief has not yet come, so let's withdraw first. ”
