A heavy snow fell for three or four days in a row, and the Tang soldiers who were nested in the city ate well and slept well during this time, if they didn't know that there was still Song Jingang outside the city, everyone thought that this was a vacation.

The snowflakes outside the window were fluttering one after another, and Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng were sitting opposite each other in the house, and in front of them was a steaming pot, in which the tender and delicious mutton was paired with some seasonal vegetables and was about to jump.

picked up the spoon and stirred the food in the pot, and suddenly a fragrance wafted out, Li Shimin scooped a little soup with a spoon, and leaned towards his lips while blowing. Before you even eat it, you will be conquered by the aroma.

Slowly drank a spoonful of soup, Li Shimin pursed his lips and looked unsatisfied, Chu Mofeng on the opposite side held a wine bottle in his arms, took a sip from time to time, looked at Li Shimin with interest and said, "I said Li Er, the snow is falling so hard, where did you get the sheep?"

"Where did I do this, Lao Liu went out to hunt wild food last night, and happened to meet a grain collection team under Song Jingang. Speaking of this, Li Shimin stirred it with a spoon again, his eyes always stayed in the pot, and he couldn't wait to say: "Don't you see it, that team of people can really loot, there are more than 30 sheep alone, as well as a few hens and some grain, or Lao Liu is righteous, and he will pay them all." ”

"It's hard for him to be so concerned. Looking at Li Shimin's salivating appearance, Chu Mofeng glanced at the meat in the pot and signaled that Li Shimin could eat it, Li Shimin saw this and hurriedly picked up the bowl in front of him, scooped a large bowl with a spoon, and then handed the spoon to Chu Mofeng, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I ordered the Huotou Army to slaughter all the sheep, and then distribute them evenly according to the battalion counting standard. ”

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Chu Mofeng took the spoon and filled half a bowl for himself, sucking and drinking slowly, after half a bowl of mutton was eaten, Chu Mofeng wiped a handful of soup from the corner of his mouth, got up and walked to the window to look out, then turned around and said with a solemn face: "I estimate that this snow is almost stopping, how will we fight then?"

"Don't worry, it is estimated that Song Jingang's house has been frozen outside the city for three days, and it should be almost unbearable. Chu Mofeng had only drunk half a bowl here, and Li Shimin over there had already finished eating a bowl of mutton, only to see him pick up the spoon, and scoop a big bowl for himself with a smile and said, "You eat quickly, let's clean up after eating." ”

"Eat, I'll go around the camp. Chu Mofeng waved his hand at Li Shimin, picked up the wine bottle and got up and said: "In the past, when I was in Zhangye, I ate the most beef and mutton every year, but after leaving Zhangye, I didn't like to eat as much as before. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Mofeng had already flashed out of the house, walking in the camp, only to see bursts of fragrance wafting in each room, seeing this scene Chu Mofeng couldn't help but smile, at this time, the snowflakes in the sky gradually had a tendency to stop, Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand to take a look at a snowflake, and found that the snowflakes at this time were not as big as they were this morning.

Immediately, Chu Mofeng quickly returned to his and Li Shimin's house, and said to Li Shimin: "Hurry up and eat, the snow is small, and when the snow stops, let's go to the city wall to have a look." ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and quickly sped up the speed of eating, while Chu Mofeng found a place to sit down and waited patiently for Li Shimin.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly walked out of the house, walking towards the direction of the city wall, at this time the earth was snow-white, and the chaotic footprints on the ground outlined an inexplicable picture, the two came to the city wall and looked down, only to see that the Song King Kong Department not far away was slowly retreating, due to the heavy snow stopped, the originally flat ground was trampled by Song King Kong's soldiers in the mud, seeing the army slowly retreating, Li Shimin was relieved.

Looking at the direction of Song Jingang's retreat, Chu Mofeng said with a solemn face: "This direction should lead to Huzhou, and after a while, you and I will lead a light horse out of the city to investigate." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and then led Chu Mofeng down the city wall, and after a few days, the sunlight that had not appeared for a long time finally broke through the obstacles and continued to shine on the earth, and the originally slippery and muddy road outside the city gradually ran out of water.

In the early morning, Chu Mofeng ordered the thirty people of the Tiangong Battalion under his command, and followed Li Shimin out of the city to Huzhou to investigate the military situation, and everyone galloped in the mountains and forests and fields for a day and a night, and came to the field west of Huzhou City.

Immediately, Li Shimin ordered everyone to take turns drawing a topographic map in groups of three, and then he and Chu Mofeng rode up a small hill, the dry earth stole the slightest cold, and the withered yellow grass gave the two the best cover.

After a day and a night of non-stop travel, the two men were already exhausted, so they stopped their mounts, lay down on the hay on the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.

It is said that Li Shimin's horse is also a peerless famous horse, called the white hoof, the two horses leaned together and ate the dry grass in front of them, and at this time, no one expected that a cavalry team not far away was approaching at full speed.

It turned out that after Song Jingang retreated to Huzhou, he had always been cautious, and then sent several groups of spies to Huzhou to inspect the enemy situation everywhere, it is also a coincidence, the team responsible for patrolling the west of Huzhou today, originally finished their work, ready to return to Huzhou City, everyone rode horses and moved slowly in the direction of Huzhou City, at this time a soldier in the team urged the horse to step forward to their captain and said: "Head, today I heard that Zhao Ting's guy is patrolling the south, should we go back to the south to scare them? ”

I saw the captain riding on the horse and thinking for a moment, and said with a hideous face: "Let's go, anyway, today's mission will end early, if you go back early, you will inevitably be scolded by Song Dashuai, it's good to scare that guy." After speaking, the captain shouted to the people behind him: "Everyone obey my order, immediately turn to the south, and detour back to the south of Huzhou City from the side." Let's have some fun. ”

Everyone knew that their captain had been at odds with the man named Zhao Ting, and they thought that it would be good to vent their evil anger for the captain, so they turned their horses' heads and walked towards the south according to the captain's instructions.

After the group had walked some distance, the soldier who had spoken earlier pointed to the two horses on the hill not far away and said, "Captain, look, there are two horses on the hill ahead, how do they look like white-hoofed crows and bone-piercing dragons at first glance?"

The captain, who was also a good horseman, hurriedly raised his eyes when he heard what his subordinates said, and then shouted in shock: "All the formation, the target is in front of the hill, and those who can ride these two horses are either rich or noble, so catch them first." ”

Hearing this, everyone under his command raised their guns and drew their knives, urging the horses under their crotches to start charging, and at this time, Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin on the hill were still asleep, completely ignorant of the impending danger.

Coincidentally, a rat emerged from the grass on the side, squeaking and screaming, as if hiding from something, while a flower snake slid along the grass behind it and chased after it.

The rat panicked and crashed into Chu Mofeng's face at once. Chu Mofeng opened his eyes and sat up, "Ah", the mouse fell backwards, and then scurried away, and the flower snake swished past.

When he was confused, Chu Mofeng seemed to hear something, and gently got up and looked forward, only to see the snowy sword in the distance and the hideous smile of the knife-wielder coming quickly from far and near.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng raised his foot and kicked Li Shimin, instantly waking Li Shimin from his sleep, only to see Li Shimin holding his kicked thigh and saying angrily: "You are crazy, what are you doing with me if you have nothing to do?"

Stretching out his hand and pointing to the front, Chu Mofeng shouted loudly: "Hurry up, the enemy is attacking!" After speaking, he rolled forward one by one, and buckled three darts from the dart bag behind his waist, and after his body was stable, he shook his hand to the front, only to see three golden rays of light shoot out, piercing the throats of the three knights on the opposite side, and three gaps appeared in the opposite charging team in an instant.

I saw the captain shouting loudly: "Everyone be careful, keep in formation." ”

At this time, Li Shimin turned backwards, and instantly came to his mount Bai Hoof, one turned over and stepped onto the horse's back, picked up the hanging longbow, and took out a huge arrow from the horse's back, this arrow is different from the usual archer's arrows, about a foot long and as thick as a child's arm.

Chu Mofeng saw that the blow was successful, his body suddenly slid backwards, and when he was about to reach the front of the wind, the wind knelt down with four hooves like a psychic, Chu Mo did not look back and his feet hit the ground hard, and the whole person suddenly sat on the horseback with a backflip, and the wind stood up again in an instant.

Seeing this, the two of them turned their horses' heads and galloped away in the direction they came, and the cavalry behind them were chasing after them, because the cavalry behind them had already urged the war horses to run, so it was easy to adjust to the maximum horse speed, but Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin belonged to the starting point, although the mounts of the two were famous horses, but this gap was fatal.

The two of them urged the war horse to gallop wildly, and on the other hand, they kept turning around and counterattacking, only to see Li Shimin biting the reins in his mouth, stretching his bow and arrows to pull the bowstring to the full moon, and then twisting the hand of the sword feather and sending it gently, only to hear the sound of 'boom', and the giant arrow shot out like a cannonball.

A cavalryman behind him was running with all his strength at this time, and suddenly saw a huge arrow rapidly enlarged in his eyes, and he secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and when he wanted to dodge, he only felt that the whole person was hit by a huge force, and the whole person rose into the sky and flew backwards behind him.

It seems that after hitting something, it fell to the ground in an instant, and then disappeared. When the cavalry chasing behind them saw this scene, they couldn't help but secretly curse in their hearts, is this an arrow? The force is so great that if it is pierced into the body, it will be crippled if it does not die.

Thinking that the crowd was about to slow down, who knew that there was a sudden terrible sound in the sky, everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see that the dense arrows in the air fell instantly, and some people fell non-stop, and some people tripped over by the comrades who fell in front.

It turned out that Chu Mofeng saw that the cavalry behind him was chasing closely, and he grabbed a dart and threw it into the air, and the Tiangong battalion that was surveying and mapping nearby heard the sound of the dart, and quickly assembled under the leadership of Li Jian, and ran in the direction of Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin's retreat. After seeing the figures of the two, Li Jian found that a group of cavalry not far behind the two was desperately pursuing, and immediately picked up his bow and arrows and shouted: "Four hundred and fifty steps ahead, indiscriminate projectile." ”

The Heavenly Bow Battalion, which had been training for many years, heard Li Jian's shout, and it had already become a subconscious reaction, and they took out their longbows and twisted the arrows and shot them at the sky, only to see that thirty arrows formed an impermeable net, covering the cavalry in front.

Seeing that the cavalry behind the two fell to the ground one after another, Li Jian immediately shouted: "Four hundred steps to shoot rapidly." When everyone heard this, another rain of arrows was fired, and at this time, Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin came to everyone's side. I saw Chu Mofeng shouting to the soldiers of the Tiangong Battalion: "Everyone listened to the order, quickly turned their horses' heads and returned to Baibi to prevent the enemy army from coming." ”

When everyone heard this, they all turned their horses' heads, and as Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng drove in the direction of Baibi, they returned to the Baibi military camp late that night as everyone hurried back.

In the early morning of the second day, Chu Mofeng compiled the sketches outlined by everyone, sorted them into a map and handed it to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin studied it repeatedly in the house, so that Chu Mofeng brought him back for lunch.

As soon as noon passed, Li Shimin summoned Qu Tutong, Yin Kaishan, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Zhai Changsun and other generals, and everyone made changes and additions to the original map, outlining a general map of hills, rivers, fields, and castles from Baibi to Huzhou.

After that, Li Shimin continued to send generals to reconnoiter the terrain in various directions in the vicinity, revise the main road drawings, and also conduct various combat simulations.

With the continuous improvement of the drawings and the analysis of various simulations, a battle with a bamboo in his chest has been engraved in Li Shimin's mind, and he just needs to find a suitable time to start the war.

However, it didn't take long for this opportunity to come like heavenly help, and the time flashed to December 11 of the second year of Wude, before Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, was ordered by Emperor Li Yuan to lead an army of 20,000 to besiege the rebellious Lu Chongmao, and the two sides had been deadlocked for more than ten days.

Yu Yun, the governor of Shaanzhou, persuaded Li Xiaoji to adopt a quick and decisive tactic, launched a series of attacks, and captured the Xia county town in one fell swoop.

However, Dugu Huaien, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, suggested that the siege equipment should be built first, and then let the army use the ladder to climb the city, which is not to say that Dugu Huaien had any outstanding features to come up with this strategy, but in fact, Dugu Huaien led the army to be trapped under Puban City for a long time and did nothing, and he had a headache when he saw the strong city, and he was already unwilling to take risks.

Li Xiaoji didn't know Dugu Huaien's original intention, so he adopted Dugu Huaien's opinion and besieged Xia County without attacking.

Lu Chongmao in the city saw that the Tang army was besieging the city, and quietly sent an envoy to Song Jingang for urgent help.

In the early morning of the 11th, Wei Chi Jingde led his army to the south and detoured back to the back of the Tang army, and suddenly launched a fierce attack, the Tang army was suddenly attacked, and hastily stopped the resistance, but forgot that there was still Lu Chongmao's team in the city waiting for an opportunity to move.

At this time, Lu Chongmao in the city saw that Song Jingang's reinforcements and the Tang army were in a stalemate, so he led the soldiers and horses in the city to rush out, and the Tang army was completely wiped out by the enemy, Li Xiaoji, Dugu Huaien, Yu Yun, Tang Jian and Liu Shirang, the head of the march, were all prisoners of Yu Chi Jingde.

So far Xia County not only did not take down, but in vain took the lives of many soldiers, after the victory of Wei Chi Jingde and Xun Xiang quickly reported the matter to Song Jingang, after learning the news of the victory of the two, considering that there is Li Shimin near Baibi guarding, Song Jingang then ordered the two to return to Huzhou.

At this time, in the Baibi camp, Qin Qiong stood in front of Chu Mofeng in a regular manner, answering Chu Mofeng's questions one by one, only to hear Chu Mofeng say slowly: "I heard that your old mother, wife and children are still in Luoyang, and you have indirectly become Wang Shichong's hostage?"

Qin Qiong nodded when he heard this, Chu Mofeng said with a smile when he saw this: "You follow His Royal Highness King Qin to fight hard, and as for your family, your father-in-law will find a way to save you for you." ”

At this time, Qin Qiong looked at Chu Mofeng with an incredible gaze, and Li Shimin on the side said with a smile when he saw this: "Don't worry, since Qi Guogong has spoken, then this matter will definitely be done, Qi Guogong has a team under him, and he is good at rescuing, assassinating, and sabotaging, so you just wait for the good news." ”

Chu Mofeng looked at Qin Qiong's puzzled appearance and said with a smile: "If you fail, you can kill me on the spot, Chu will never frown." ”

Seeing this, Qin Qiong clasped his fists at Chu Mofeng and said, "Everything is up to Grandpa Guo, and the last general will thank Grandpa Guo here first." ”

At this time, Li Shimin said to Qin Qiong: "In a few days, we are going to go to Meiliangchuan to ambush Wei Chi Jingde and Xun Xiang, who have returned to Huzhou, and I will give you a task, and we will do our best to entangle Yu Chi Jingde during the war, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

Qin Qiong nodded when he heard the words and turned to leave, while Chu Mofeng frowned when he heard Li Shimin's words, and said, "What kind of Wei Chi Jingde are you talking about, did you do iron striking before?"

"Do you know this?" Li Shimin looked at Chu Mofeng in surprise, thinking that this guy was really well-informed, and he even knew what the other party's general had done before.

I saw Chu Mofeng think for a moment and said: "If this person can be captured alive, try to capture it alive, I have a relationship with this person, and he is also a strong general, if you can take him under his command, it will still be helpful to you in the future." ”

"Well, I'll focus on him. How many days are we going to fight?" Li Shimin nodded, and then asked Chu Mofeng about the date of the war.

I saw Chu Mofeng looking like an old god was there, and he shook his head and said: "The ambush was laid before the month and a half, and it is estimated that it will be met on the day of the month and a half." ”

On the second day, Li Shimin ordered Yin Kaishan, the head of the military department, Qin Shubao, and others to lead a large army to set up an ambush at the Miragawa, and at this time, Wei Chi Jingde and Xunxiang, who were on the road back to Huzhou, did not know at all, and the Miragawa in front had already opened a big net, waiting for the two to take the bait.

On December 15 of the second year of Wude, when the class returned to the dynasty and looked for the Meiliang River, he looked at the Meiliang River not far from Huzhou, perhaps because he was about to return home, and the good Wei Chi Jingde shouted behind him: "Listen to the sons, your majesty will be rewarded for going back this time, and you must invite Lao Tzu to eat and drink at that time." When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing.

As Wei Chi Jingde's voice fell, he only heard a 'hum' sound not far ahead, only to see a rain of arrows falling in the sky, and suddenly suffered from the attack of the rain of arrows, Wei Chi Jingde's team was caught off guard, and fell to the ground with arrows, some soldiers hurriedly lay on the ground, and others were ordered by the officers to hold shields in front of the cavalry.

At this time, Wei Chi Jingde shouted loudly while resisting: "Who is shooting arrows in the dark, this move is not done by the eldest husband, do you dare to come out and see it?"

Perhaps after hearing Yu Chi Jingde's words, the dense rain of arrows suddenly stopped, and not far ahead, a horse suddenly drove forward, only to see this person wearing a strangely shaped armor, holding a long black hammer, and said coldly to Yu Chi Jingde: "Iron striker, let's meet again? I don't know if you still remember me?" I saw this person lift the cover on his face, revealing a handsome face.

When Wei Chi Jingde saw it, he immediately shouted and said, "I remember you, we met, why did you run to Tang Jun?"

"I also asked you to find a master to serve, and you found such a thing as Liu Wuzhou? Chu Mofeng looked at Wei Chi Jingde in front of him and shook his head with a little regret.

I saw Wei Chi Jingde clasping his fists at Chu Mofeng and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and Your Excellency doesn't have to blame you so much, since you and I belong to two sides today, can you please fight with me?"

"Forget it, boy, I'm afraid that I will kill you by mistake, and then the gain will outweigh the loss. Chu Mofeng waved his hand, put the burning sky behind his back, and said with a smile to Yu Chi Jingde: "I found you an opponent, Qin Qiong come out, you will meet your opponent." ”

I only heard a person behind this person answer, and then turned his horse and walked out, shouting at Yu Chi Jingde: "Licheng Qin Shubao is here, do you have the courage to fight with me?" After speaking, he hooked his finger provocatively at Yu Chi Jingde.

Seeing this, Wei Chi Jingde burst into a shout: "Shuozhou Wei Chi Jingde is here, let's die." After speaking, he urged the horse under his crotch and rushed towards Qin Qiong, the Xun Xiang beside him knew that this was a strategy on the other side, and he was waiting to stop him, but he knew that Wei Chi Jingde had already run out, and in desperation, he thought about taking Chu Mofeng as a bargaining chip first, and then shouted: "The whole army will attack and take down the people on the opposite side." ”

The army under the leadership of Xun Xiang came towards Chu Mofeng, Chu Mofeng saw this, the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer, and he took out a dart and threw it at the sky, and then only heard the rumbling war drums behind him, and the Tang army, which had already been ambushed, rushed towards the army of Xun Xiang under the leadership of Yin Kaishan and others, and Chu Mofeng did not take advantage of the situation to leave, but shouted: "The extinguishing flag is raised, Tiance Army, the whole army is attacking!"

Listening to a loud shout behind him, the four battalions of Tiance, under the command of their respective commanders, killed them according to the charging formation, and the extermination flag raised high in the army looked so hideous and bloody at this moment......

As the saying goes, one can kill the enemy for thousands of miles, and look at Li Shimin's shock in the first battle, Chu Mofeng will meet Liu Wuzhou in the second meeting, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
