The words say:

How many times did the chaotic battle win? The three armies fought against each other. Heroes can use clever tricks, and the enemy will of course sacrifice the old camp.

Dusty and bloody. Several times on the battlefield to kill people. Clever tricks to destroy the enemy city, why kill people and take a big name?

In the previous chapter, Yang Qingcai suddenly heard the trumpets behind him, and the drums were deafening, and when he looked back, it was Li Shijian's subordinates who were killing in several ways.

On the left, 3,000 soldiers from Yan Junping and Yang Can's first army, and 3,000 soldiers from Zhang Yao's first army; on the right, 3,000 soldiers from Wen Ziming's and Zhang Li's first army, and 3,000 soldiers from Meng Ping's first army; and Li Shijian personally led 6,000 soldiers from the first army and killed them from the front!

Yang Qingcai shouted: "Now is the critical moment of our army's life and death, give me a bloody killing!"

However, although the main general has an order, the generals and subordinates can't stop the Taiping army!

I saw Li Shijian taking the lead, picking up the sword with a gun, and no one could match it. Seeing that Li Shijian's army was about to be encircled, Yang Qingcai's 5,000 troops were about to retreat to the valley road.

Fu Liming was shocked and said: "Heavenly King, you must not go back! Otherwise, you will be blocked in the valley road, and there will be no physiology!"

Yang Qingcai hurriedly said: "Fu joins the army, what should I do?"

Fu Liming said: "Heavenly King, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid that there will be no burning!" The minister protects you, hurry out of the encirclement, and go back to the main city of Mazhou first!"

Yang Qingcai said: "From which side did you rush out?"

Fu Liming said: "Heavenly King, then Li Shijian is no one, let's rush out from Meng Ping on the right!"

So Yang Qingcai and Fu Liming Junchen led some of the sturdy soldiers to break through the siege, and Meng Ping's 3,000 troops were broken through by Yang Qingcai, so Yang Qingcai finally escaped!

When Yang Qingcai and Fu Liming escaped, when they looked back, they saw that their troops had been killed and retreated to the valley road, and the Taiping army Li Shijian's troops had blocked the exit.

When Yang Qingcai saw it, he trembled all over, his heart was cold, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's over! It's over! Pity my Senator Jia! Pity my army of 80,000!"

At this time, the remnants of Yang Qingcai's soldiers had no fighting spirit, and Fu Li knew that it was hopeless to rescue the trapped soldiers, so he had to persuade Yang Qingcai to say:

"Heavenly King, now that our soldiers have no fighting spirit, these nearly a thousand people are not enough for Li Shijian to plug his teeth, we should quickly withdraw to the main city of Mazhou!"

When Yang Qingcai heard this, he couldn't help but shed tears, but he had no choice but to run away with Fu Liming and lead the troops in a hurry.

But it was said that on the valley road, after Jia Mouyuan led the army into Li Shijian's pocket array, he heard the trumpets and cannons, shouting and killing on all sides!

Jia Mou saw that half of the soldiers led by Yang Qingcai and Fu Liming in front of him broke through and fled, and most of them retreated into the valley road, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and sighed:

"'If the tile is not broken from Inoue, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle', our army has no brave generals who can fight, and I, Jia, still fell into an ambush by others!"

Jia Mouyuan commanded the army to rush forward, as long as he rushed out of the valley. However, the focus of Li Shijian's army is to seal the exits at both ends of the valley road - it has long been sealed with deer.

The entrance retreated to the end of Fang County, and Song Yi, the general of Li Shijian's Taiping Army, led the troops to block it and went to the exit of Mazhou, but at this time, Li Shijian personally led the troops to defend it.

Yang Qingcai's rear army had already been cut off by Song Yi, Liu Wuming, and Wei Xin, and those outside the valley road were all killed, some fled back to the township, some fled back to Fang County, and a few men and horses were also forced into the valley road.

On both sides of this valley road, there are high and steep slopes, which are difficult to climb, and on that mountain, Li Shijian has archers on it, just waiting to release arrows.

Jia Mouyuan still did not give up, and personally organized strong men to be a death squad to charge at the mouth of the valley, and arranged for generals to lead the troops to attack the other side, however, the iron spear Song Yi and this Li Shijian were invincible.

The death squad, with more than 2,000 people, could not play its expected role because of the narrow and congested valley mouth.

Li Shijian had already sent Zhang Yao and Meng Ping to shout down on the mountain: Yang Qingcai, listen well, you have been surrounded by our army, surrender quickly, if you resist stubbornly, we will open our bows and arrows!

In fact, Yang Qingcai disguised himself and had already escaped; Li Shijian's Taiping Army, only looking at the "Yang Qingcai" pretended by Jia Mouyuan under the umbrella of the king that day, he thought that Yang Qingcai was surrounded by this encirclement.

Jia Mouyuan sighed: "I only now understand that the ambush soldiers on the road that detoured to Lujiao County were using deception to deceive our army!

Jia Mou is far away, and on the valley road, 70,000 horses are crowded.

Li Shijian sent someone to shout again, but it was still ineffective, so the Taiping army gave an order, and a round of ten arrows was fired at the top of the mountains on both sides, and the arrows rained down!

Jia Mou had a vision, sighed, drew his sword, and committed suicide.

Jia Mouyuan was dead, and the remnants of the soldiers had no fighting spirit and surrendered one after another. At this time, out of the 70,000 horses, nearly 10,000 had already died in a salvo of ten arrows just now.

After the remnants surrendered, Li Shijian counted the results of the battle, and had to surrender nearly 60,000 soldiers, 24 generals, Yang Qingcai escaped, and Jia Mouyuan died.

Li Shijian sighed: "It's a pity that Jia Mouyuan died!" and asked the general, how did Yang Qing escape?

Someone explained the truth about Jia Mouyuan's plan and Yang Qingcai's disguise. When Li Shijian heard this, he immediately understood in his heart, so he called Meng Pingdao:

"General Meng, Yang Qing is your old master, this time you deliberately let him go, didn't you? Although you are also repaying him, there will never be a next time!"

Meng Ping trembled and pleaded for mercy. Li Shijian said: "I can spare you for your capital crimes, but you must not go unpunished! I will demote you to a post and demote you to a hundred commanders; you must make meritorious service before you can atone for your crimes! Come on, first pull him down and beat him with 20 military sticks." ”

After the statistics of the results of the battle, Li Shijian reorganized the troops and generals, and added the original men and horses, and selected 80,000 soldiers to attack the state.

Yang Qingcai fled to the main city of Fallen Mazhou, gathered the remnants of the army and the defenders of each county, only more than 20,000 people, heard that Li Shijian led 80,000 troops to attack, he knew that he was invincible, so he gave up Fallen Mazhou, retired to Huangzhou, Hongzhou.

After Yang Qingcai retreated to Huangzhou, all his troops arrived, and the total strength reached 50,000, which was reassuring. However, Zhang Ba and Li Jiu led the remnants of the army to report: "Wan Qisong is no match for Li Shijun, the whole army is defeated, and I am captured!"

It turned out that Wan Qisong led an army of 100,000 menacing and surrounded Jing County, the gateway to the north of Shunyi Prefecture.

The defenders of Najing County, from the border to Jing County, set up ten beacon towers to transmit the alarm, when Wan Qisong's army arrived, Xu Xing and Ma Rong first attacked instead of defending, and Ma Rong went out of the county to meet the battle, and won quite a lot.

It's just that although Xu Xing is wise and Ma Rong is brave, compared with Wan Qisong's 100,000 army, 5,000 soldiers are too few, and in the end they had to retreat into the city to defend themselves.

Fortunately, Li Shijun's 50,000 horses arrived in time, and the two sides kicked off the war in Jingxian.

After Li Shijun's troops arrived, they first attacked the camp besieging Wan Qisong. Wan Qisong discussed with the deputy general Li Da:

"This Li Shijun, known as General Tu Ma, is brave and strategic, besides, Xu Xing is wise in the city, Ma Rong is brave, if our army is under the fortified city, they should cooperate inside and outside, this battle is not easy to fight!"

Li Dadao: "Our soldiers are twice as many as the enemy soldiers, and the art of war says that ten will surround them, and the times will fight." The enemy rushed to the camp, general, you are the main general, it is not appropriate to go out first, I will face Li Shijun first, and try the enemy's battle, I don't know what the general wants?"

Wan Qisong said: "Li Shijun is not something that can be stopped by one person, it is better for our army to come out together, take advantage of his unstable foothold, and fight a melee, maybe he can achieve great success." ”

The two generals discussed and agreed, and each immediately led 30,000 soldiers to meet Li Shijun. Wan Qisong and Li Da attacked one left and one right, and fought with Li Shijun, Li Shijun couldn't win at a glance, and personally pressed the rear formation, and the army retreated twenty miles and set up camp.

Wan Qisong and Li Da returned to the camp victoriously to discuss the military situation, and Wan Qiansong said:

"Our army won a small victory in the first battle, but after all, it failed to achieve the operational goal of sneak attack and capture Jingxian, Xu Xing and Ma Rong were both civil and military, and Li Shijun was not injured and attacked outside, speaking of which, this situation is still not good for us, General Li, do you have any good methods?"

Li Dadao: "General, the last general once learned a formation, called the Eight Gate Formation, our army has more troops than the enemy, just set up this Eight Gate Formation, take this Jingxian County as the center of the Eight Gates, and the principle of the Nine Palaces, just to block Li Shijun outside, and trapped Jing County inside, how about we fight with him Li Shijun, how about it?"

When Wan Qisong heard this, he even claimed: "Okay!" and said: "Li Shijun is brave and strategic, but he can't be a jack of all trades, right? I don't believe that he Li Shijun is also proficient in formation!"

So Wan Qisong and Li Da lined up their troops day and night, set up eight formations, and sent people to invite Li Shijun to fight.

Li Shijun got the letter, and replied: After I watch the formation, I will break the formation!

The next day, Li Shijun and Wan Qisong met in front of the formation, and Li Shijun told Wan Qisong that the formation would be broken seven days later!

However, it was said that Li Da's eight-door array was also passed on by the masters, and Li Da made a careful thought, deliberately leaving some flaws when the formation was first arranged, only after Li Shijun watched the formation, before launching an attack, overnight, all these flaws were repaired, and there was no trace of omission, so that Li Shijun could suffer a big loss.

However, it was said that Li Shijun returned from watching the formation, frowned and was silent, thinking hard about countermeasures. Tian Meng often said: "Why did the junior brother not say a word when he returned from watching the formation?"

Li Shijun said: "Senior brother, the eight formations laid out by Wan Qisong and Li Da are also known to Senior Brother. It's just that even if this formation is broken, it will only be a melee between the two armies, and even if our army can win, it will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties.

I see that his formation, and secretly in the Nine Palaces, just trapped Xu Xing and Ma Rong's men and horses in Jingxian County, unable to send assistance, and unable to attack inside and outside. So I thought ......"

Tian Mengchang smiled and said: "Could it be that the junior brother wants to make another surprise attack, with the smallest price, in order to achieve the greatest result?"

Li Shijun said: "Senior brother, people often say, 'kill 10,000 people, lose 8,000 yourself', the two armies are fighting in a melee, it is inevitable that people will die, and there is no guarantee of a complete victory; if our army can use clever tactics, the enemy will sacrifice the old camp - this is the meaning of the younger brother. ”

Tian Mengchang said: "Senior brother, there are flaws in his eight-door array, but judging from his ability to secretly merge with the nine palaces in this array, I suspect that this flaw was deliberately left by him." Could it be that the junior brother wants to start from here to achieve a surprise victory?"

Li Shijun said: "Senior brother's opinion of his Eight Gate Array is the same as mine. I want to pretend that I don't know that this flaw was deliberately left by him, and pretend to study his flaw every day in order to confuse Wan Qisong, but I sent another army to attack his back road, at that time, his eight-gate formation, without attacking, will be broken, and our army will take advantage of the situation to attack, not only can we win completely, but the casualties are also small, I don't know if the senior brother can see this plan?"

Tian Mengchang said: "Senior brother, this plan is completely feasible! In the art of war, I like to talk about it, and I will take it by surprise and attack it unprepared; and the way is to avoid the real and attack the false, it is better for you to lead a group of men and horses to steal through Liujing County and attack that Daming Prefecture; here I will confuse Na Wan Qisong and Li Da, how about it?"

Li Shijun clapped his hands and said, "Okay, senior brother, let's discuss the details of the action again." ”

Li Shijun and Tian Mengchang discussed, and Li Shijun led 5,000 elite soldiers, stole through Liujing County that night, and attacked the main city of Daimyozhou.

So from the next day, Tian Meng often chose a small school to pretend to be Li Shijun, and accompanied him every day to bring a team of soldiers to watch the battle.

When Li Da saw it, he smiled at Wan Qisong and said: "General Wan Qi, he Li Shijun and Tian Meng often come to study the flaws of my eight-gate formation every day, we just need to make up for it on the night of the sixth day, and ensure that he will suffer a big loss when he enters the army and breaks the formation on the seventh day!"

Wan Qisong also smiled and said: "If I can break Li Shijun's soldiers and horses, I will definitely report to the King of Heaven and take General Li as the first credit!"

However, it was said that Li Shijun's men and horses rushed to the city of Daimyo Prefecture in the middle of the night of the next day, so they took advantage of the cover of the night, took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders, climbed the city wall on all sides, and entered the city.

The defenders in the city could not have imagined that this place was far away from the front line, but someone dared to attack for a long time, so even the guards led their troops and the six thousand defenders were taken prisoner, and none of them escaped.

Li Shijun immediately used the order of Benzhou to transfer the Liujing County guard general Wu Jun to Benzhou to change the defense. Li Shijun himself, but left Chen Zhiyuan and Chang Sheng to lead 2,000 soldiers to defend the main city of Damingzhou, but he led 3,000 men and horses from his headquarters and surrendered 5,000 troops, a total of 8,000 people rushed to Liujing County and set up an ambush on the halfway.

However, it is said that Wu Jun, the defender of Liujing County, led 3,000 men and horses, and according to the order of the Shangguan of Benzhou, he came to change his defense, encountered an ambush on the way, and got into Li Shijun's encirclement.

Li Shijun only asked him whether Wu Jun wanted to die or live, and Wu Jun wanted to live, so of course he surrendered. So Li Shijun quietly occupied Liujing County, and then he let out the wind and sent someone to pretend to be a messenger from the Daiming Prefecture to report to Wan Qisong, claiming that Li Shijun had seized the Daiming Prefecture.

When Wan Qisong and Li Da heard this, they were all shocked: Li Shijun and Tian Meng often come to watch the Bamen Array every day, how could it be possible that another Li Shijun would appear to take the Daming Prefecture?

However, there are reports that the news from the Daiming Prefecture is that the main city of the Daiming Prefecture has indeed been occupied by Chen Zhiyuan and Chang Sheng sent by Li Shijun!

It was only the fifth day, and there were still two days left before the agreed date for the break.

Wan Qisong said: "General Li, the situation is so far, it must be Li Shijun who avoids the real and attacks the false, and sends troops to attack the Daimyozhou." I am the main general, so I will stay here, and I hope that the general will lead 10,000 troops and quickly recapture the field and return to Daimyozhou!"

Li Da led 10,000 troops and walked back. Passing by Liujing County, I saw the guard general Wu Jun bowing his hand on the city gate tower and said:

"General Li rescues the main city of Honzhou, but he can pass through the city, and there is no need to make a detour! The last general will prepare a little thin wine in the county office, and Wu Jun is willing to personally take care of the general!"
