On the road from Linfen to Jiangcheng, a long procession is advancing, and hundreds of people are struggling to drive the ox cart and horse-drawn cart, heading forward, which is the grain cart of the Tang army.

Now the Tang army has been under the city of Jiangcheng for nearly three months, but it has not been able to break through the defense of Jiangcheng like a turtle shell, and it consumes a lot of food and grass every day, which has to be transported from the rear.

"Hurry up!" A soldier shouted.

The recruited people immediately whipped the cattle and horses to speed up, but there had just been a light snow a few days ago, and as soon as the sky cleared, the snow melted, and the whole road was muddy.

No matter how the people whipped, the cattle and horses would not be able to exert their strength, and the wheels would slip, making it extremely difficult to walk.

"General! It's not that I can't wait, it's that the road is too slippery to get up quickly! A man pleaded.

"Can't get up soon? Do you know that it only took three days for the food and salary of the army in Ludaoguan to be pulled out of Daxing City and transported to Jiangcheng, and we only walked a small and half distance in three days, and you complained to me. The general who escorted the grain and grass rode on a tall horse and shouted angrily.

"General! We can't compare with Daxingcheng, they use four-wheeled carriages to transport food and wages, and they take a straight brick road, which is of course faster, and we! A man who had heard of the brick road pointed to the muddy road.

"Humph! Don't talk so much nonsense, if you delay the time, you and I will be killed! The general snorted angrily.

Of course, he knows the situation of Daxing City, but Shangguan doesn't care about you, and delaying food and salary will be punished, there is no doubt about this.

"Hurry up!" The general will drink heavily. Urge everyone to speed up. 、

The people had no choice but to continue to drive the cattle and horses, and the whole team slowly advanced.

Slowly, the trees on both sides of the road increased, and the road became narrower.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow struck from the woods in a lightning hurry, right in the heart of the general.

"Ahh The bias will fall to the ground,

The generals were shot in the heart, covered in blood, their eyes wide, and they looked at the dense forests on both sides in disbelief, they had already walked this road many times. It's been safe and sound. How can there be enemies.

"General!" The soldier cried out.

"Enemy attack!"

The soldiers escorting the grain and grass shouted loudly.

Immediately, a wave of strong bows and crossbows struck from the mountains and forests on the left and right.

Arrows rained down, all of them were extremely tricky, and the soldiers of the Tang Army were hit by arrows one after another, and they were defeated.

"Whoosh!"

The bowstring in Han Cheng's hand sounded. A Don army is falling. It caused a panic.

"Captain Han is indeed a sharpshooter. 100 shots. A voice sounded behind Han Cheng.

Han Cheng showed a smug expression, then disappeared, and hugged his fists and said, "Carving insect skills." can't afford to be praised by the head of history. ”

Shi Wanbao smiled: "Captain Han is too modest." ”

Beside the two, rows of elite special forces armed with strong crossbows kept shooting at the Tang army.

The Tang army was suddenly attacked, and they all held together to defend themselves.

"Kill!" Shi Wanbao's face was cold, and the long sword in his hand was waved.

The special forces he personally trained were not archers who could only shoot arrows, and tight combat was their forte.

"Kill!" Suddenly, more than 200 special soldiers rushed out of the cage like tigers and rushed towards the Tang army.

There were about 1,000 soldiers in the Tang Army, and after being attacked by Shi Wanbao for a while, more than half of them were killed or wounded, and now there are only about 500 left.

These soldiers have already been attacked and killed by the officers, the dragons have no leader, and they have been attacked by the special forces with high martial arts, and they are quickly collapsed, most of them died in battle, and only a few escaped.

In the middle of the position, Shi Wanbao and Han Cheng patrolled,

Looking at the corpses of the Tang army all over the ground and the food and salary of hundreds of trucks, I was extremely happy in my heart, this was the first time they had sneaked behind enemy lines to attack, it was really incredible.

"General Qiyu! The Tang army lost 800 dead and more than 100 fled. "A soldier reports the results of the battle.

"Congratulations to the general, after this battle, the general will definitely be famous all over the world!" Han Cheng said happily.

He has always advocated personal force, and today he was sent to Linfen to attack Li Yuan's logistics troops, which is like a fish in water.

"Hahaha!" Shi Wanbao laughed loudly, looking at the fruitful results, and his heart was extremely proud.

This is simply a tactic tailored for him, with these 200 subordinates, he Shi Wanbao will inevitably crisscross behind enemy lines, and there will be no more stable days in the rear of the Tang army.

"Master Jun, we are the people who were captured by the Tang Army, it's none of our business!" The people have long been frightened, and they have seen such a tragic situation there when they are ordinary people on weekdays.

"Don't go yet!" Shi Wanbao knew that these people were worthless, because he didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, so he waved his hand.

The people immediately dispersed in a hurry, and soon disappeared without a trace.

After a few moments, all the grain carts were gathered together.

The fire was gas, and all the food and wages were burned.

"Let's go!" Swanbo drank.

The soldiers immediately took their crossbows and weapons in their hands and disappeared into the dense forest.

From the beginning of the attack to the ignition of the fire, the whole process took less than half an hour, and before the Tang army could get the news, Shi Wanbao disappeared into the distance.

An hour later, a large number of soldiers who came to help felt the scene, and were shocked to see the corpses and the burned grain and grass all over the ground.

"Go and report to the lord!" For the leader of the general Da Rush Road.

"What, the food was robbed?" Jiangjun was ten miles, the Tang army camped, Li Yuan exclaimed.

"Enlightened father! According to the soldiers who fled, they were attacked by 200 people, and when the local garrison arrived at the news, all the grain and grass had been burned, and more than 800 soldiers had been killed. Li Jiancheng said with a shocked face.

"Rubbish! Most of the 1,000 soldiers who were carrying grain and grass were killed by 200 men. Li Yuan was furious.

What really made his heart hurt was the batch of grain and grass, he had been blocked for many days under the city of Jiangxian, and the daily army consumed a lot of grain and grass, and the grain and grass had been very tight, and now a large number of grain and grass had been burned, which made it even worse.

"This must be a trick by Qu Tutong, who actually sent troops to touch our back. And we haven't even noticed it. Liu Wenjing exclaimed.

"This is not a means of Qu Tutong!" In the military tent, Li Shimin shook his head.

"Isn't it?" Everyone glanced at Li Shimin in surprise.

"To be able to use two hundred soldiers to kill a thousand heavily armed soldiers in half an hour, Qu Tutong can't do it, I'm afraid only that army can do it!" Li Shimin affirmed.

"The troops?" Everyone asked.

"Special Bandit Force!" Li Yuan suddenly remembered and couldn't help but exclaim.

Li Shimin nodded: "Now there are no bandits in Guanzhong, and the special bandit force has been divided into three, and the two thousand special bandit troops were transferred to Luoyang by Yang Guang and defeated Li Mi's internal army in the battle of Huicang. He is now stationed in Xin'an County. The official road guarding Daxing City and Luoyang is unblocked. Its leader is Huo Shiju, the general of Hu Ben Lang, and has now been renamed Hu Ben Camp. ”

Everyone nodded.

"Then there is a second one!" Wang Zhezhao asked curiously, he didn't know much about the military.

"The second is the remaining 2,000 special bandit troops left in Daxing City, led by Li Jing. Li Jing was originally a defender of Mayi. I want to go to Jiangdu to falsely accuse my father. When I walked to Daxing City, for some reason, I was favored by Yang Yu'er. Directly promoted to General Yingyanglang, who now commands the 2,000 special forces, has been renamed the Yingyang Battalion. ”

"Eagle Battalion! Tiger Camp! Everyone secretly said in their hearts, the commander of the 2,000-strong troops is General Ying Yanglang and General Hu Benlang, which shows how much Acting King Yang Yu values these two troops.

"In addition, there is one of the most special branches, that is, the team of only 200 people led by Shi Wanbao, a hero of Chang'an, is called the special battalion."

"Two hundred? Isn't that? The crowd exclaimed.

"If Shimin's guess is correct, the bandits who attacked our army's grain and grass this time are the 200 special battalions led by Shi Wanbao."

"A special battalion is only 200 people, and I ask the lord to allocate 500 elite soldiers, and the general will definitely be able to kill the so-called special forces without leaving a single piece of armor." Yin Kaishan said excitedly.

"General Yin Kaishan can't be careless, Shi Wanbao is known as a thousand-mile pursuit, what he is best at is long-distance raids, in the last battle of Yan'an, Shi Wanbao led two hundred special battalions and killed a thousand Turkic elite cavalry, not to be underestimated!" Li Shimin heard Yin Kaishan's letter, and Li Yuan still looked like he was moving, and said in a hurry.

"Shhh

Everyone gasped, and then remembered Shi Wanbao's outstanding achievements.

There were Turkic cavalry in the Tang army, and of course they knew the power of those Turkic cavalry, and a thousand Turkic iron cavalry was enough to compete with five thousand infantry.

"Then the general will not be afraid of him!" Yin Kaishan strengthened his air, but he no longer asked for five hundred troops, and when he heard Li Shimin say this, he also had no bottom in his heart.

"In the future, when the grain and grass are escorted again, three thousand elite soldiers will be dispatched to explore the terrain five miles ahead before and after the departure to prevent the special battalion from being attacked by surprise. Li Yuan shouted.

"Yes!" The congregation will answer.

"Now that the little prince of Daxing City has sent out his elite troops, it seems that the decisive battle between our army and Guanzhong will come soon." Liu Wenjing said.

Everyone nodded.

"It's hateful that Qu Tutong, a shrunken-headed turtle, has been hiding in Jiangcheng, otherwise he will definitely kill him without leaving a piece of armor." Yin Kaishan said angrily.

"Qiqi Tang Gong, according to the news obtained by the Wang family's secret agents in Daxing City, now Qu Tutong has obtained the cotton clothes and cotton armor transported from Daxing City, and now he has shrunk to Jiangcheng, waiting for the arrival of the cold winter, ready to sneak attack our army!" Wang Zhezhao said proudly.

"Really?" The ministers were shocked.

"Of course." Wang Zhezhao said proudly, took out a brand-new military coat and a semi-finished cotton armor from behind him, and handed them to Li Yuan.

"Tang Gong, please look!" Wang Zhezhao presented cotton clothes and cotton armor.

Li Yuan Huoran got up and took the cotton clothes and armor.

"Sure enough, keep warm!" Li Yuan put on a cotton coat and said in surprise.

"It's all made of cotton?" Li Shimin looked at the semi-finished cotton armor in his hand in surprise.

"The cotton armor is inlaid with iron armor, although the defense is not as good as the iron armor, but it is very warm in winter, which is far better than the iron armor, in order to transport these two things back, our Wang family has wasted a lot of effort." Wang Zhezhao said proudly.

"With this thing, the Sui army will definitely increase its strength, Wang Senjun detected the conspiracy of the Sui army in advance, and made great contributions, and after the end of this battle, this prince will definitely be rewarded." Li Yuan said.

"Xie Tanggong!" Wang Zhe bowed and saluted.

"Father, Qu Tutong originally had a large number of troops, and now with the help of cotton clothes and armor, and the weather is getting colder and colder, I'm afraid our army will soon fall into passivity!" Li Jiancheng said worriedly.

"Why don't our army temporarily withdraw and wait for the weather to warm up next year and fight again!" Liu Wenjing hesitated.

"No! If our army can fight until now but with a momentum, if it retreats now, Qu Tutong will definitely pursue with a large army, and Guanzhong is getting stronger and stronger, Yang Guang may not return when, losing this opportunity, I am afraid there will never be such a good opportunity again. Li Shimin persuaded.

Li Yuan fell into contemplation, now the entire Tang army has fallen into a stalemate, Qu Tutong has been putting on a posture of stubborn defense, the Tang army can't break through Daxing City, and can't retreat, seeing that Guanzhong has to be called Wang Jiye in front of him, but he can't afford to look west.

This is really unwilling for Li Yuan, who risked the risk of raiding his family and exterminating his family!

Now that the weather is getting colder, the wind and snow are approaching, and the cold winter is coming, Qu Tutong is defending the city in front, waiting for the flaws of the Tang army.

Shi Wanbao in the north led 200 special battalions to the rear of cholera, on both sides of the Yellow River, the acting king Yang Yu had already ordered the blockade of the Yellow River in advance, and the road to the west seemed to be impossible, and now the entire Tang army was about to run out.

The entire Tang army camp fell into a state of melancholy. (To be continued......)
