    It's time to take a look at the situation on the Lingshi battlefield. After nearly four updates, the enemy has not yet been seen leaving the city. Wang Xingben and Cao Qing, who did not want his soldiers to suffer the spring cold in vain, simply gave up the ambush after some discussion.  , letting the Sui soldiers who had been frozen for most of the night go back to their tents to rest. As a result, the Sui soldiers were extremely happy about this. At least the Sui army's ambush circle, which could severely damage Li's army, also collapsed on its own.  ¡ª¡ªIf you are lucky, this ambush circle is very likely to kill Li Er himself, who likes to take the lead and rush to the front!  It can only be said that Li Er's luck was too good and Huo Yi's Sui army was too unlucky. Not long after the soldiers of the Sui army evacuated the ambush position and went to sleep, just after the fourth and a half, the Lingshi city gate, which had been closed before, quietly opened  , more than 3,000 Taiyuan troops, under the cover of night, quietly walked out of the city gate under the leadership of Li Er, and assembled into an army outside the east gate of Lingshi. Then Li Er gave another order, and the Taiyuan troops immediately sneaked south.  , the man held a horse with its hooves wrapped, and almost silently walked toward the Sui army camp in the south.  At the same time, not only did the main force of the Sui army, which had just fallen asleep, not realize that the danger had arrived, but even the more than a thousand Sui troops stationed at the narrow intersection in the north did not realize that Li's army had left the city at all, and did not have time to notice that the station was stationed there.  Duan Lun of the Taiyuan Army in Jiexiu was also trotting quickly approaching the Lingshi battlefield.  It was indeed God's blessing for Li Er. It happened to be a cloudy day tonight, and there was no light from the stars and moon on the ground. So even though the Sui army camp had just made deployment adjustments, a new army was put in charge of night defense and guarding the camp.  The new army was not yet tired and defeated and reduced the intensity of patrolling. However, due to poor visibility, they did not have time to detect the approach of Li's Second Army in advance. It was not until the infantry of Li's Second Army came forward that they shot down the Sui Army soldiers on the guard tower with bows and arrows. The soldier was hit by an arrow.  After falling to the ground and making a sound, the Sui Army patrol team increased their vigilance and discovered that the soldiers of Li Erjun had already approached the gate of the camp and were stealing antlers to resist the horses.  Then, of course, gongs rang, and the Sui army on duty quickly fired arrows to kill the soldiers of Li's army who had moved to resist their horses. At the same time, they immediately strengthened the guard at the camp gate. However, Li Er did not hesitate and immediately ordered an attack. Two hundred soldiers  The carefully selected death squads of the Taiyuan Army rushed straight to the camp gate and chopped down the Sui Army camp gate under the heavy rain of arrows. There were also a thousand Taiyuan Army infantry soldiers divided into two groups and attacked the fences on both sides of the Sui Army camp gate, no matter the cost.  Try to open the way to the camp.  At the same time, Li Er also kept praying silently in his heart, "God bless me, I hope I can open a gap! I don't want any more, just open a gap!" It is definitely worth making Wang Xingben, Cao Qing, Liang Naizhu and others scream. Fortunately,  The officers and soldiers of the Sui army who had just rotated their camp defenses were still relatively focused and their vigilance had not completely subsided. Even if they were accidentally attacked, they still had some ability to fight back. The night watch army immediately went into battle. Although the battle was very difficult, they still managed to fight back.  They barely withstood the most dangerous first round of raids by Li's Second Army and bought time for the main force of the rear army to respond.  At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the Sui army who had not yet entered a deep sleep were awakened one after another. Without spending much time adapting to the sudden change, they immediately began to prepare for war at the request of the generals at the grassroots level. They went out of their tents wearing armor and holding swords to assemble at a speed faster than during the day.  Fast or slow.  But even so, the situation in the Sui army's camp was still extremely critical. The camp gate and the fences on both sides were filled with wood chips flying everywhere, and the antlers and horses outside the camp were quickly destroyed.  The trenches protecting the camp could not stop Li's army from advancing at all. The Sui soldiers on night duty could only rely on the thin fence to contend with Li's army. The fierce offensive soldiers of Li's army killed the Sui soldiers inside the fence with swords, spears and axes.  The losses were heavy, and the fence of the Sui army's camp was so shaken that it was about to collapse in the blink of an eye.  The situation was too critical, and there was no time to wait for Wang Xingben's order. Cao Qing, who was stationed in the front camp, had already ordered the battle with red eyes, asking his soldiers to immediately step forward to help the battle without asking for orders as long as they were at the school regiment level. As a result, Cao Qing  Although the Qing Dynasty lost the opportunity to counterattack with a large force, it managed to strengthen the thin troops on the fence line. The Sui soldiers who kept rushing towards them stabbed the top of their shields with swords and spears. At least they could barely withstand the attack of Li's second army.  This gave Li Erjun a chance to break through the Sui army's camp defenses in one fell swoop.  "Why didn't I believe the commander-in-chief's analysis! If I had not disbanded the army and continued to ambush in the camp, this battle would have been won!" This was the wail made by the three generals Cao Qing, Liang Naizhu and Wang Xingben, beating their chests and stamping their feet at the same time.  "God won't help me! I didn't expect that ordinary men like Wang Xingben and Cao Qing could have such ability in running an army!" In fact, Li Er was far more upset than Cao Qing, Wang Xingben and others. Li Er never expected that Huo Yi and Sui's army would be defeated.  The response speed can be so fast. When attacked late at night, the troops will not be shocked or in chaos. Can they assemble at an incredible speed to fight, quickly strengthen the fence line of defense, and resist the attack of their own army? If you hadn't seen with your own eyes that the Sui army was at the regiment level.  Scale hurriedly stepped forward to help, and Li Er almost suspected that the Sui army was actually prepared.  Fortunately, the advantage was still with Li Ershu. It was true that the Huo Yi and Sui troops were attacked in a hurry, but their reaction speed was faster than usual., but there are still shortcomings and weaknesses such as insufficient preparation and the inability to effectively command the combat team. He is still at a passive disadvantage. Li Er, who is good at catching fighter planes, was annoyed but did not forget to seize the opportunity. In addition to ordering Zhu Can, who was the vanguard, to continue at any cost.  In addition to the strong attack, more than a thousand troops were decisively sent forward to assist in the battle, attacking other positions in the Sui army's fence defense line to find new breakthroughs.  At this time, shouts of killing were also heard from the north. The officers and soldiers of the Sui army stationed at the intersection in the north had not only discovered that the main camp was under attack, but also finally discovered Duan Lun's army, which had quietly approached and led the Sui army.  Huoyi general Li Xiao was also very decisive and did not rush back to support the camp. Instead, he immediately ordered the burning of trees and weeds piled on the road to block Duan Lun's army from reinforcing Li Er with fierce fire. In order to buy time, Duan Lun's army also immediately launched a strong attack.  The smoke and fire started a fierce battle with the Sui army. At the same time, they fought hard to put out the fire and clear the road. They fought with Li Xiaojun in darkness, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.  The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Just as Wang Xingben hurriedly assembled the main force of the Chinese army to launch a counterattack inside the Chinese army camp, an unexpected appearance occurred. Zhu Can, the vanguard general of Li's Second Army who personally led the death squads, worked up his extraordinary strength and actually cut through the Sui army's camp with an ax in the melee.  Li Er's army's suicide squad worked together to open the gate of the Sui army's camp. Li Er's army cheered together, and their morale was greatly boosted. Li Er did not hesitate to order an all-out attack. With high morale, all units of Li's army rushed and attacked fiercely, and rushed in quickly.  The Sui army's camp was set on fire, and half of the Sui army's front camp was soon disrupted.  Seeing this, Wang Xingben, who had assembled the main force of the Chinese army to prepare for a counterattack, was of course complaining. He could only give up his plan to reinforce the fence position of the front camp and instead defend the Chinese camp with all his strength. At the same time, he ordered Cao Qing to drag down Li's army at all costs.  In the front camp, the Chinese army was not allowed to withdraw, and Li's second army was not given the opportunity to attack the Chinese camp.  Fortunately, Cao Qing was personally promoted by Liu Heitai from the army and became a brave general. He started as an ordinary soldier and got to where he is today with one sword and one shot. He is best at fighting hard and vicious battles, but he also regrets that his army gave up the ambush and missed the opportunity.  After hearing Wang Xingben's order again, Cao Qing not only did not complain at all about Wang Xingben's unkindness, but also immediately ordered all the troops to move closer to his flag, gather into groups to fight hard against Li Erjun, and not allow Li Erjun to use his men as free forwards.  Opportunity to attack the Chinese military camp.  A few Sui soldiers who were greedy for life and feared death tried to escape into the Chinese army camp for protection, but Wang Xingben ordered to shoot them with arrows without hesitation.  Seeing such a scene, Li Er wanted to strangle the Sui army commander to death. While cursing the Sui army commander for being vicious and cunning, Li Er ordered the first army to go back and attack the Sui army's rear camp in search of artillery.  , As a result, Liang Naizhu, the Sui army guarding the rear camp, had already been prepared. When he saw the enemy coming, he immediately fired arrows at him, which also did not give Li's army a chance to quickly enter the rear camp.  Li Er's face turned pale when he heard the report, but he was helpless for a moment.  Fortunately, the opportunity was still in Li Er's hands. It was only a matter of time before Duan Lun broke through the Sui army's blockade and came for reinforcements. While Li Er calmly commanded the battle, he immediately started to think about what to do next.  contingency plan, "What if there is no way to break through the rebel camp? The rebel army is quite powerful. If they attack the camp from the front, our army is really not sure of succeeding. However, the front camp of the rebel army has been breached by our army, resulting in huge losses.  Even if Duan Zhixuan's surprise attack fails, the bandits will definitely not dare to stay in Lingshi and will definitely retreat back to Huoyi" Thinking of this, Li Er had an idea and immediately summoned General Qin.  Wu Tong ordered: "You immediately lead two regiments of infantry southward to find suitable terrain for an ambush thirty miles south of Lingshi. When the rebel army moves south, the rebel artillery team will immediately launch an attack as long as it passes your position.  , If you can grab the rebel artillery, as long as you can hold back the rebel artillery team so that they can't continue southward and buy time for our main force to pursue and seize the artillery, I will give you the first credit!" Qin Wutong agreed,  But Li Er warned uneasily: "Remember, you have to move quickly, the faster the better. You must pay attention to concealment and don't let the bandit army notice that you have set up an ambush on the way! Also, after setting up an ambush, you don't have to intercept the bandit army.  Go north to contact the messenger. He is an urgent messenger for the rebel army. It can help us disrupt the morale of the army and let them pass through your defense area at will! If the rebel army sends an envoy south to rob and kill them, ask for a confession and report it to me!  After singing the promise, he immediately organized two regiments of infantry to quickly move south to set up an ambush. After the sky became clear, they followed the order and arrived at the interception position thirty miles to the south, and found a suitable ambush at a very critical location in Fenshui.  As a result, after Qin Wutong and his troops had just taken cover, several Sui army cavalry came rushing from the south with their rotating horses. The soldiers asked for orders whether to intercept them. Qin Wutong remembered Li Er's order and let the soldiers do as they pleased.  Not to mention these Sui army cavalry passing through their own army positions.  Let¡¯s turn the scene back to the Lingshi battlefield. When the sky became brighter, Duan Lun¡¯s army finally broke through the Sui army¡¯s interception and rushed to the main battlefield with smoke and fire.?, but at this moment, the Sui army, whose sight was no longer blocked, had gradually stabilized their positions after seeing clearly the enemy's situation. Cao Qing led the front camp troops to slowly withdraw towards the gate of the central camp, and fought and retreated to the central camp.  After moving inside the military camp, Li's Second Army, which had finished swinging three axes, could no longer maintain its previous ferocious momentum due to insufficient strength. It was impossible to break through Cao Qing's dense formation. The Chinese army's camp that tried to get close to the Sui Army was immediately defeated.  The Sui soldiers were surrounded by dense bows and arrows, and they had no choice but to watch as Cao Qing led his troops to gradually withdraw into the Chinese camp.  Duan Lun also led his army to charge, but his army was already very tired after marching all night. He also fought a fierce battle with Li Xiao's troops of the Sui army at the intersection. Although he won, the fatigue was aggravated, and his physical strength was greatly reduced. The offensive was not fierce enough. Likewise,  Unable to defeat Cao Qing's army, let alone take advantage of the situation to advance into the Sui Army's central camp, and with all of Sui Army Cao Qing's troops entering the camp and being covered by dense arrows from the Sui Army's central army, Duan Lun had no choice but to give up.  Attack, and then immediately find his second brother-in-law Li Er, and discuss the next plan with Li Er.  Li Er first gave Duan Lun a general introduction to the situation last night, admitting that he had underestimated the enemy's cohesion and response speed, which led to the failure to completely succeed in the camp hijacking battle. At the same time, he also introduced to Duan Lun that he had deployed on the road to the south.  He told Duan Lun about the ambush, and then suggested to Duan Lun: "Brother-in-law, the rebel army has a camp to defend. In a hurry, our army can no longer defeat the enemy quickly. It is better to withdraw our troops and return to the city to rest until the rebel army receives Huo Yi's urgent message.  When the news comes that the troops have to be withdrawn in a hurry, it will not be too late for us to send troops to pursue and seize the artillery. " "What if Duan Zhixuan doesn't succeed?" Duan Lun asked.  "It doesn't matter if you don't succeed." Li Er replied with a confident smile: "Not to mention that Huoyi's bandit army is empty of strength and unable to go north to respond. Wang Xingben can only retreat as soon as possible. Even if he sticks to the camp and waits for Liu Heitai's Linfen reinforcements,  It doesn¡¯t matter, his army was severely damaged in the battle last night. Once your army has rested and regained its fighting strength, we will still have great hope of breaking through his camp if we join hands.¡±  Duan Lun came to the front camp of the Sui army and looked at the tired soldiers under his command. Duan Lun quickly nodded and agreed to Li Er's suggestion. He joined hands with Li Er to withdraw the troops and retreated to Lingshi City to rest.  Let the defenders in the city rush to make dry food and torches for pursuit.  As analyzed by Li Er, the Sui generals such as Wang Xingben and Cao Qing, who suffered heavy losses, did immediately plan to retreat, especially considering that Huoyi was indeed difficult to provide strong reinforcements for their own army. Wang Xingben, Cao Qing and others passed by  After discussion, they finally unanimously decided to retreat as soon as possible to preserve their strength.  Fortunately, the Sui army did not bring too much food, grass and baggage this time, so it was very convenient to retreat. They could just load the tents and a small amount of food and grass baggage into the cart, and they could even use the fence antlers and the pretentious siege weapons.  The fire broke out, and Li Er couldn't find a chance to move it back for cooking.  Only the fake artillery is more troublesome. Each of the twelve weighs more than a thousand kilograms. It is troublesome and slow to transport. It is obviously not suitable for carrying with the army. It is useless to take it back with fake and inferior ones made of cheap pig iron.  , so Wang Xingben and Cao Qing both planned to throw it away.  Fortunately, Liu Heitai's instructions to Liang Naizhu before leaving were effective, and Liang Naizhu suggested: "General Wang, let's take the artillery away. The general once told us that these artillery were used by the Tang Dynasty king to alert the tired bandit army.  The key is that even if it is fake, we cannot expose it easily. If we give up directly, the rebel army will definitely know that it is fake. It is better to take it away with the army and then bring it back to Huoyi. Of course, it is best. If we take it away, we will give up on the road.  The enemy would also believe that it was true and waste a lot of money and food on transporting it back. " Feeling that Liang Naizhu's suggestion was reasonable, Wang Xingben immediately adopted it, and immediately arranged the order of retreat, with Cao Qing and Li Xiao leading the tired and wounded soldiers to serve as the vanguard.  , Liang Naizhu escorted the artillery and baggage in the middle, while Wang Xingben personally led the fresh force to the rear. Then just at noon, the Sui army abandoned the camp and retreated south. Before leaving, they also burned the fence and the siege equipment of the rear camp.  When they learned that the Sui army had indeed abandoned their camp and retreated, Li Er and Duan Lun were overjoyed and immediately gathered troops and horses to go out of the city to pursue them. However, they were a little late. The Sui army's front and middle armies led by Cao Qing and Liang Naizhu had already withdrawn into the narrow area first.  At the same time, Wang Xingben led his fresh troops to stand guard at the intersection and slowly withdrew step by step, giving Li Er and Duan Lun no chance to immediately catch up with the Sui army's artillery team.  Li Er and Duan Lun had already laid an ambush, so they were not in a hurry. They just carefully kept a distance from Wang Xingben's rear army, waiting for the opportunity to defeat the enemy that was about to appear.  Under normal circumstances, Li Er Ge, who was prepared for the rainy day, is of course sure of victory. As long as the ambush arranged in advance suddenly breaks out, Li Er's army can not only ensure that they get the vital Sui army artillery, but also definitely be able to take advantage of the situation and defeat Huo Yi's Sui army again.  .  But the only miscalculation of the extremely smart Brother Li is that there is also a very smart Liu Heizi who also has a clever trick. Just when he and Duan Lun just caught up with Wang XingbenWhen the army was behind the scenes, the emergency messenger sent by Liu Heizi had already met Liang Naizhu, the Sui general who was escorting the artillery, and issued a very interesting order to Liang Naizhu The distance of thirty miles was not that far in the first place, and healthy adults  It can be easily completed in one and a half hours at most on foot, and the journey in a forced march is only one hour. However, because they were carrying heavy artillery of almost two thousand kilograms, it took the Sui army more than two hours to barely complete this section.  The distance, as a result, not only made Li Er and Duan Lun more convinced that their real target was ahead, but also made them and Qin Wutong, who had been ambushing here, wait anxiously. When they finally saw the Sui army soldiers pushing the heavy  When the artillery came to the ambush position of his own army, Qin Wutong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately issued an attack order.  The enemy was outnumbered. Qin Wutong did not stupidly rush out with more than 400 people to seek death. Instead, he chose to throw rocks and rolling logs on the high ground to block the road, disrupt the Sui army and not give the Sui army a chance to transport the artillery.  Liang Naizhu, who was escorting the artillery by the Chinese army, was surprised and hurriedly looked at the situation of the Fen River to the west. Seeing that the Fen River in this area happened to be a turbulent water flow, Liang Naizhu was immediately happy and ordered the troops to go up the mountain to fight.  He ordered the artillery team: "Immediately! Push all the artillery into the river and let the thieves fish it out!" The Sui army officers and soldiers who hated these heavy artillery pieces were overjoyed when they heard the order and confirmed that Liang Naizhu's words were not true.  Just kidding, I quickly used all my strength to push the cannon down the river. With all my strength, the twelve heavy cannons fell into the surging Fen water in the dusk with a loud roar, completely obliterating the fact that they were fakes.  shoddy evidence.  When Qin Wutong saw this situation on the high ground, he was shocked and quickly led his troops down the mountain to stop him. Cao Qing had already brought the front army back to fight for reinforcements, and joined forces with Liang Naizhu to kill Qin Wutong back to the mountain.  All the artillery entered Fenshui to feed the Dragon King. The Sui army soldiers who were restless pushed the baggage carts into a ball. After the rear army led by Wang Xingben retreated from this area, they immediately set fire to burn down the road, and then advanced lightly and quickly fled to the  To the south, the rear army led by Li Er and Duan Lun were left helpless in the face of the sea of ??fire, and Li Er was furious where the artillery hit the water, "Everyone! Everyone! Huoyi's gang of commoners, these traitors! They actually pushed the artillery into Fenshui,  What should we do now? " "Right Commander, can't we just bring up the artillery?" Some of his subordinates suggested well, but what he received was a loud slap in the face and a thunderous roar with a distorted handsome face.  , "Fishing?! The current here is so fast, how to fish? Show me how to fish! There are not enough people fishing, but there are too many people fishing. Isn't it just the opportunity for the rebel army to force us to fight a war of attrition and drive us away?  A chance to eat it bite by bite!¡±
