Li Shimin finally decided to attack Xingyang, not only because of the current situation, he must be required to make a breakthrough in front of him, but more importantly, he thought that there were not many soldiers and horses in Xingyang in front of him.

"Li Shimin is in a hurry, but, Liyang Gong, is it you who appear, or do I appear?" Pei Renji pointed to the boat on the surface of the Yellow River and said.

"Let's come forward with the general! Li Shimin is treacherous, although he knows that the general is good at guarding, but he also knows that the general does not have many troops in his hands, if the last general comes forward, I am afraid that Li Shimin will know that I brought the army, plus the general is in Luoyang, he will immediately realize that something is wrong, and at that time, he will withdraw the army. Duvowe thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, then please sit down with the Liyang Public Security, and General Ben will personally go to meet Li Shimin for a while." Pei Renji nodded when he heard this, and ordered someone to re-erect the big banner, and a big banner with the word "Pei" appeared in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"It's Bae In-ki." Li Shimin's face was cloudy. What he didn't expect was that it was Pei Renji who appeared in front of him, and among Li Xin's generals, Pei Renji was the only general who was known as the best at fortification. Unexpectedly, at this time, Pei Renji actually appeared in Xingyang, on the other side of the Yellow River. However, this is also said in the past, under Li Xin, Pei Renji, who is good at defense, is the most powerful, and he used to be in Luoyang, and now it is normal to be transferred to Xingyang by Li Jing. But this is not necessarily good news for Li Shimin.

"Although Pei Renji has a good defense, after all, he has very few soldiers and horses in his hands, so His Highness doesn't have to worry." Fang Xuanling also found out that Pei Renji was on the other side, for fear that Li Shimin would weaken his fighting spirit, so he hurriedly said.

"Without soldiers and horses, no matter how powerful your skills are, I'm afraid you won't be able to play much." Li Shimin nodded, drew his sword, and roared loudly: "Attack!" In an instant, Hou Junji, Liu Hongji and other generals led the army towards Xingyang.

"Li Shimin, this is Mount Tai!" Bae Renji laughed, looked around and said, "He didn't know that our reinforcements were behind him. It would be a big mistake to use this trick against us. ”

After hearing this, the surrounding soldiers burst into laughter, and a trace of tension in their hearts suddenly disappeared without a trace, Du Fuwei, who was standing on the side, touched his beard and nodded, a real famous general, can affect the soldiers with every move, and a casual sentence can boost the morale of the army, Pei Renji in front of him may not be as good as Li Jing, but it is also unique.

"Shoot the arrows." Pei Xingjian was on top of the enemy tower. Seeing that Li Shimin's boat was slowly approaching the bank of the Yellow River, he ordered the soldiers to start firing arrows, and in the camp, a lot of bows and arrows had been prepared. There were still quite a few soldiers flocking to the area.

"Father, Li Shimin is building a bridge!" Pei Xingjian suddenly discovered something, and couldn't help but say loudly.

"With the boat as a bridge, Li Shimin has fought with His Majesty all these years. I learned something. Pei Renji shook his head indifferently and said, "It's a pity that he can't change the current situation." Pei Renji said disdainfully: "It is convenient for the army to advance, although the strategy is very good, but it is a pity." There's no chance to cast it. ”

"It's better to dispatch archers, anyway, there are many soldiers in the battalion, so order them to release arrows." Du Fuwei said with a smile.

"Then use rotation. Liyang Gong, let's give Li Shimin a good look. Pei Renji's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "He deserves to be unlucky, the soldiers who are leaving the general don't carry much baggage, which is just right." ”

"I'll give the order and send the archers to prepare." Du Fuwei also laughed, and ordered someone to transfer archers to fight.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Li Shimin's face was as cold as ice, looking at the boat in the distance, the boat has been fully built, and the two sides of the boat have been nailed with big nails, so that it can cross the Yellow River and facilitate the advance of the army, so that there is no need to transport soldiers back and forth by boat, but the speed of the advance of the army in the distance makes Li Shimin a little dissatisfied.

"On the one hand, Pei Renji used spears to defend the camp, and on the other hand, he used archers to cover the tidal flats, although we have used shields to resist, but there are too many bows and arrows, which still has a great impact on the soldiers behind." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.

"Thunderbolt, capture the enemy's camp as soon as possible." Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "If it goes on like this, when will it be able to attack?" ”

"Yes." Fang Xuanling nodded, in fact, Li Shimin's meaning is very simple, that is, to use human lives to pile up, but also to break through the enemy's camp, but can this trick really work against Pei Renji? Fang Xuanling has no bottom in his heart.

Sure enough, as Fang Xuanling thought, Li Shimin's crazy attack did not bring any pressure to Pei Renji, Pei Renji still commanded the battle in an orderly manner, and his soldiers guarded their respective places, archers, shield bearers, spearmen, etc., guarding the camp.

In the evening of the battle, Li Shimin ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the Tang army, which had been fighting for a day, also restored peace, and after Pei Renji ordered people to burn and bury the corpses on the beach, he burned the pontoon bridge that Zhao Jun had worked so hard to build.

"Li Shimin is crazy now, he just forcibly attacked." Pei Renji, who returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, said to Du Fuwei: "Today we have also lost a lot of people, although they are not as good as Li Shimin, but Li Shimin has more people and horses, I'm afraid it is not easy to deal with!" ”

"Your Majesty and the general's soldiers and horses will arrive soon, this time to deal with Li Shimin, Li Shimin can't escape the fate of being besieged by us." Duvowe was not too nervous.

"No matter what, if Li Shimin can't see through the current situation, it can be regarded as planting, even if His Majesty's soldiers and horses will not come in time because of the Turks, but the general's soldiers and horses will definitely arrive soon." Pei Renji sighed and said: "It's still the reputation of the great general, for such a long time, with the great general's big line, it has been supported until now, and by the time Li Shimin reacts, it will be too late." ”

"It's a pity for Li Shimin." Du Fuwei also sighed and said: "If Li Shimin had been able to ascend to the throne earlier, maybe the situation in the world would not be what it is now, and His Majesty would not have easily seized the world." ”

"Tomorrow, maybe he'll attack again." Pei Renji sighed.

The next day, sure enough, Li Shimin's crazy attack was ushered in again, the two sides fought in Guandu for a day, and the blood stained the entire Yellow River red, but Li Shimin still did not take advantage, every time the opponent's defense was crumbling, there was always a new force appearing, saving the overall situation.

Li Shimin, who returned to the camp, quietly looked at the map in front of him, in the area of Guandu, the red one, densely occupied many positions, this is his defense map, but outside the red, there are two black lines, one of which has approached Guandu, this is Li Jing's army, Li Jing's army of more than 100,000 has approached Guandu, after the army crossed the Yellow River, the cities along the way have surrendered, it can be said that most of Shandong and part of the territory of Hebei have fallen, but in a few days, Li Jing's army will definitely kill to Liyang.

"Xuan Ling, how about withdrawing now?" Li Shimin suddenly sighed.

"Your Highness is worried about Li Jing's army?" Fang Xuanling saw Li Shimin's worries, thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, as long as you defeat the enemy in front of you and capture Xingyang, there will be no problem. ”

"No, you're wrong, Pei Renji's reinforcements are here." Li Shimin shook his head and said, "We were fooled. Pei Renji definitely has more than just a few men and horses in his hands, there is also an army behind him, ambushed on the left and right, every time we are about to defeat the other party and attack the camp, new forces will join it. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin with some concern.

"Evacuate to Youzhou." Li Shimin walked to the map and said: "Move the Jingshi to Youzhou, unite Goguryeo and the Turks, and fight a decisive battle with Li Xin in Youzhou." Li Shimin has already felt the pressure from all sides, if he doesn't retreat, he will face encirclement and suppression from three sides, no matter how great his ability is, in the face of this situation, he will be powerless.

"I'm afraid Your Majesty won't agree." Fang Xuanling said in a low voice.

Li Yuan is an arrogant person, the first time he moved the capital was already rare, the second time he moved the capital, did Da Zhao still have prestige at all? Lost Hebei, lost Shandong, only Youzhou remains, how many people can convince Li Yuan, and those who support Li Yuan, the Shandong family and some of the Guanlong families who follow Li Yuan will not agree.

"As long as there is a glimmer of life, it must be done." Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said that he attaches more importance to reality and the final result, as long as there is a glimmer of life, Li Shimin will do it.

"Since this is the case, the minister will arrange the matter of withdrawing the army." Fang Xuanling sighed, and went down to arrange for the retreat. In fact, in the current situation, even Fang Xuanling has no choice but to agree with Li Shimin's decision to withdraw his troops, but is it really that easy to withdraw his troops?

Early the next morning, Pei Renji and Du Fuwei were ready to meet Li Shimin's frantic attack, but after waiting for two hours, they did not see the attack from the opposite side.

"Li Shimin is afraid that he has already discovered the reinforcements, and he is preparing to retreat at this time." Pei Renji said with some worry.

"What is the general going to do? If you want to follow behind, you have to be careful, Li Shimin must have left a hand, it is better to wait for the general's order for the time being. Duvowe thought for a moment and said.

"Our role is to drag Li Shimin, not to let Li Shimin run away, although the enemy may have set up an ambush, but as long as you are careful, there will be absolutely no problem." Pei Renji said indifferently: "I lead the army, and the general leads the army, which is a mile away, how about it?" ”

"That's very good." Du Fuwei thought about it and agreed with Pei Renji's suggestion. (To be continued.) )
