Chapter 380: Sneak Attack
In the following days, Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan took turns to persuade Li Shimin, wanting him to change his tactics.
After three days like this, Li Shimin finally relented: "Okay, just do what you say, and make a quick decision." β
Liu Hongji immediately persuaded: "Marshal can't, after all, Xue Rengao has a large number of people, if he fights head-on, it will be difficult to achieve victory, and it will be difficult to defeat Xue Rengao."
"If we can't defeat Xue Rengao hard, the morale of the army will be low, and it will affect the future battles.
"The marshal's previous plan was good, it was a sure-win tactic that didn't have to be changed."
Hearing this, Liu Wenjing lowered his face and said coldly: "Since the marshal has already said a quick victory, then follow the marshal's words." β
"...... you" Liu Hongji was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, when he didn't know what they had done in the past few days?
Liu Wenjing asked him to follow the marshal's orders, but he himself did not listen to the marshal's words, otherwise how could the marshal change his tactics?
"Okay, don't make any noise."
Li Shimin stopped them and said in a deep voice: "Both plans are good, but Liu Changshi is right, since you want to seize the opportunity, you should fight quickly and catch them off guard." β
Immediately, Li Shimin ordered: "Pass the order, immediately reorganize the army, some of them will stay in the rear, and the others will follow me." β
The order was passed down, and the soldiers immediately went into action.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, Li Shimin suddenly had a severe stomach ache and fell to the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his cheeks, falling drop by drop.
"Master......"
"Marshal, what's wrong with you?"
"Go and call the medic."
Everyone was worried and worried, but they still arranged for someone to call the military doctor in an orderly manner and carried Li Shimin back to the big tent.
It didn't take long for the military doctor to come and immediately diagnose and treat Li Shimin's pulse.
"Doctor, marshal, what's the matter?"
Seeing that the military doctor had been checking his pulse and had not spoken, Liu Wenjing couldn't wait to ask.
Seeing that a major war between the two armies was imminent, Li Shimin, as a marshal, fell ill at this time, wouldn't it affect the morale of the army?
The military doctor let go of Li Shimin's wrist and said: "The marshal should have injured his viscera, I will first prescribe a pair of medicine for him to take to stop his pain, and then help him regulate his body."
"But with the marshal's present condition, he must lie still for three days and not get out of bed."
Hearing this, the faces of the people changed, the marshal could not go on the expedition, so what should they do?
Everyone looked at Li Shimin who looked pained on the bed, and the expressions on their faces were more painful than Li Shimin.
The military doctor personally went to decoct the medicine, and when the medicine was decocted, he personally served Li Shimin to drink the medicine.
A bowl of black decoction went down his stomach, Li Shimin's symptoms began to reduce, although the forehead was still oozing sweat, but it did not fall down in large pieces, and the pain in the abdomen gradually weakened until the pain disappeared completely.
After resting for a while, Li Shimin finally had the strength to speak, and he said weakly: "Help me up." β
The third on the left carefully helped Li Shimin up and put two pillows behind him so that he could sit comfortably.
Liu Wenjing couldn't wait to say: "Marshal, now that you can't get out of bed, what about attacking Xue Rengao?" β
"It's business as usual."
Li Shimin slowed down and continued: "The generals listened to the order, from now on, the command of the army will be handed over to Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan, and the two of them will have full authority to handle the affairs of this campaign. β
Hearing this, Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan glanced at each other, and they both saw ecstasy in each other's eyes.
After a short look at each other, Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan said loudly: "Yes, we will definitely do our best to eliminate Xue Rengao." β
----------
Two days later, Liu Wenjing led his army to the shallow water plain southwest of Gaoqi City, and he ordered Liu Hongji and Murong Luohu to lead a cavalry to the northwest to attack Xiqian City.
At the right time, the head-to-head troops sent by Xue Rengao also reached the shallow water plain, and Liu Wenjing immediately ordered the army to line up to meet the enemy.
The battle between the two armies was fierce, and the corpses on the ground were piled higher and higher, and blood stained the ground red.
The sound of weapons handing over, the sound of fighting, and the screams filled the entire shallow water plain, like hell on earth.
"Deputy marshal, no, news came from the rear, Zong Luohu, the general of Western Qin, led people around our rear and attacked us secretly."
Hearing Xiaobing's announcement, Liu Wenjing's face changed greatly.
Oops, the marshal is still in the rear.
Liu Wenjing glanced around and said to Li Anyuan, who was nearby: "You take people to stay here to stop the enemy, and I will take some people back to rescue the rear." β
After speaking, Liu Wenjing immediately summoned Yin Kaishan, Qin Shubao, Su Dingfang and others to return to the rear.
I didn't know that I didn't go far, but I met the people sent by Zong Luohu to flank the Tang army in the shallow water, and the two sides immediately fell into a melee.
Liu Wenjing was bent on saving Liu Shimin, and killed the Western Qin army as if he was ruthless, and the other Tang troops saw his appearance and became more and more ruthless.
"Be careful."
When Qin Shubao was facing the enemy, he caught a glimpse of Su Dingfang not far away being besieged, and at this time, a spear appeared in Su Dingfang's back, stabbing straight at Su Dingfang.
Su Dingfang heard Qin Shubao's reminder and tried his best to kill the enemies around him, but he had no time to take care of the danger behind him.
"Roarβ"
Qin Shubao roared, kicked the enemy in front of him, and threw the weapon in his hand out at the same time.
"Boom!"
The spear that stabbed at Su Dingfang was hit and fell to the ground.
The murderous aura subsided suddenly, Su Dingfang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to respond to the enemy.
And Qin Shubao ferociously eliminated the surrounding enemies and took them away
