The conscience of heaven and earth, since he debuted under Lai Huer's tent, the famous general Qin Qiong has never been so useless as during this period. Even when he was defeated by Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji, Qin Qiong was not so unlucky. He would be defeated by the same opponent one after another. They used less to defeat more, and used weak to defeat strong. They fought without any temper, and couldn't even find a chance to take revenge. This time, he finally got the opportunity to unite his troops to fight again. Of course, Qin Qiong worked hard and vowed to get back this face from Dou Jiande's brother-in-law, Cao Dan, and wash away the recent bad luck! The same was true for Qin Qiong's men. They just set out to leave Linfen. Gu Nenggui, Xiong Wei and other generals under Qin Qiong's command could not wait to start shouting, saying that this time they would beat uncle Cao to the ground no matter what, and Wang Fubao was also beaten to death. Dong Kangmai, his deputy, grabbed him and beat him up, venting his anger on Wang Fubao's boss and subordinates. Xiong Wei, who had followed Qin Qiong as early as Qi County, volunteered early and said: "General, please let the last general serve as the vanguard and go to the thief camp first to start a fight. The thief army will definitely fight when they see that we have few soldiers. The last general will promise to fight." A good start! " "General, I also want to be a vanguard." Gu Nenggui also quickly asked for orders, and added: "The last general will not only make a good start, but also promise to bring back 300 enemy heads. I'm willing to accept military law!" Xiong Wei became anxious upon hearing this and quickly argued with Gu Nenggui. Qin Qiong stopped them and said with a strange smile: "Since Xiong Wei asked for the order first, you go first, but you can't open the door. , you have to lose to me and escape. Then Gu Nenggui, you still have to lose to me and escape." "General, are you kidding me?" Xiong Wei and Gu Nenggui were stunned. "Of course I'm not joking, this is the personal order of His Highness the Prince of Tang." Qin Qiong smiled even more weirdly. He first explained Chen Sangliang's arrangements to his two right-hand assistants, and then said with a sinister smile: "I was worried at first, but after all Send those two unlucky guys to suffer defeat. Since you two are rushing to be the vanguard, it's up to you. Once you both suffer defeat and complete the instructions given by His Highness Prince Tang, I, the general, can feel free to kill the enemy. " Gu Nenggui and Xiong Wei couldn't stop complaining when they heard it. When they hurriedly tried to shirk it, it was already too late. Qin Qiong had already assigned the task of false defeat to them, and the second general could only accept the order with a sad face. Qin Qiong was relieved that he was relieved, but Xiong, who was quite thoughtful, had an idea and said hurriedly: "General Qin, I still remember the terrain of Yueyang area. The road due west of Yueyang City, and the north for more than twenty miles. It's a mountain forest, which is perfect for ambush. How about we fake two battles during the day and take the opportunity to ambush in that area at night. Then, General, you personally go out to lure the enemy and lead them to our ambush. We take the opportunity to rush out and intercept the enemy. If you go back and attack from both sides, your gains will be even greater." "Well, I also remember that the terrain in that area is very suitable for an ambush." ??Qin Qiong nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can attack the enemy's flanks. Chaos, I will seize the opportunity to seize the opportunity to directly attack the leader of the thief army, so I will have a better chance. Okay, let¡¯s do it!¡± It was only after he agreed and saw the evil smiles on the faces of Xiong Wei and Gu Nenggui that Qin Qiong woke up and realized that he had been deceived, and roared! "You two men dare to play tricks on me. You want me to accompany you to cheat for a while, right?" After saying that, Qin Qiong pretended to be angry, while Gu Nenggui and Xiong Wei laughed and ran away. The Sui army also strode towards Yueyang in the northeast direction while the generals of the Sui army were playing and laughing, and their pace was very fast. ¡¡¡¡¡ The officers and men of the Sui army were relaxed, but Uncle Cao¡¯s side was even more relaxed. When he first received the news that the Sui army was dispatching troops, Uncle Cao, who had just offended Chen Sangliang, nervously asked how many soldiers the Sui army had and who was coming? And when he learned that the Sui army had only about 6,000 troops, and that the leader of the Sui army was Qin Qiong, who had been disgraced in front of Dou's army several times before, Uncle Cao immediately laughed out loud and said with a smile: "Chen Thief's tent. There is no one left? He actually sent this defeated general of ours. Does Mr. Chen think that he has not lost enough?" Ruan Junming, Zhang Jinzhong, Yuan E and other confidants of Brother-in-law Cao laughed in agreement, saying that this was the case. However, Dong Kangmai, who had followed Wang Fubao and won victory over Qin Qiong, was calmer and admonished his brother-in-law Cao: "General Cao, it is better to be careful. Qin Qiong was already famous for his bravery when he was under Zhang Xutuo's tent in Qi County. The previous two defeats at the hands of our army were only due to a temporary underestimation of the enemy and sparse precautions. The second time was completely due to lack of strength. The front was blocked by Wang Fubao's rebellion, and the flanks were overwhelmed by Taiyuan's friendly forces. The defeat cannot be explained by strength. He is a useless person, we need to deal with him carefully." Brother-in-law Cao sneered and said, "So what? He is even less powerful. Our total strength is 16,000, and he only has 6,000 people. With ten thousand more troops, it will be easier to defeat him! " "General Cao, it's better to be careful," Dong Kangmai insisted, and then said, "Qin Qiong only came with six thousand troops, obviously to contain him temporarily. Our army prevents us from fully strengthening the city defenses and establishing strong camps.Then the main force of the Chen thieves sent out troops to attack our army. In this case, we might as well ignore him and build a stronghold as usual to defend the wall in order to face the main force of the Chen thieves in the future. If Qin Qiong takes the initiative to attack, it will not be difficult for us to defeat with the fortification cover of the city camp. " "It doesn't have to be so troublesome! Brother-in-law Cao flatly refused with a wave of his hand, and said: "Qin Qiong's name is too real to be feared. While the main force of the Chen thief is still on the way, when he comes we will fight with all our strength. We will win a big victory to boost morale, and then deal with the Chen thief." The main force can be much more relaxed. ¡± Although he felt that Brother-in-law Cao¡¯s mentality was too underestimating the enemy, considering Brother-in-law Cao¡¯s pettiness, Dong Kangmai still did not dare to persist. At the same time, after things reached this point, Dong Kangmai, who did not like Wang Fubao before, would inevitably miss the old days. Japanese comrade-in-arms said to himself: "It would be great if that common man was here. Although that common man is annoying, if you follow him to fight, at least you don't have to be as worried as you are now." " Linfen is not too far from Yueyang, and the urgent march is only a day's journey. However, in order to preserve the strength of the soldiers, Qin Qiong, who has learned his lesson and no longer dares to underestimate the enemy, is still cautious. The army has just arrived at Yang County and ordered to set up camp. Rest, and at the same time sent more scouts to closely monitor the movements ahead. They did not dare to advance directly to the Yueyang City where the surrounding terrain was much more complicated than Yang County like last time. After Dou Jun's scouts reported the movements of Qin Qiong's army to Cao's brother-in-law, Cao's brother-in-law. Naturally, he ridiculed Qin Qiong for being as timid as a mouse, and looked down upon Qin Qiong's army even more. Early the next morning, Qin Qiong's army continued to march towards Yueyang, and asked Xiong Wei to lead a thousand troops as the vanguard. At this time, Qin Qiong was naturally a little worried. Dou Jun refused to leave the camp to fight, but Qin Qiong soon discovered that his worries were in vain. When Xiong Wei's army was still seven or eight miles away from Yueyang City, Cao's brother-in-law could not wait to order troops to fight - fortunately, Cao Cao The brother-in-law only shouted fiercely, but in fact he was more cautious in using troops. He did not immediately lead the main force into battle in person. Instead, he ordered General Zhang Jinzhong to lead two thousand infantry out of the camp to test the strength of the Sui army first and grasp the specific situation of the Sui army. The two armies fought in the field. Xiong Wei, who was destined to lose the battle, deliberately arranged a yoke formation that was easy to maneuver but lacked attack power. Zhang Jinzhong sneered when he saw the Sui army's formation and ordered the army to deploy a front with strong attack power. The arrow formation was the first to attack, and with only one charge, it penetrated half of the Sui army's yoke formation. Xiong Wei, who had not organized the defense at all, got down the slope and immediately led the army towards it. Fleeing for his life, Zhang Jinzhong easily won, captured a lot of flags and weapons, and killed some unlucky Sui soldiers who escaped slowly. He pursued for more than ten miles until he saw the main force of the Sui army approaching, then he withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. Zhang Jinzhong, who won easily and easily, reported to Uncle Cao that Dou's army only needed to dispatch 5,000 troops to compete with Qin Qiong's entire army, and 7,000 troops could ensure victory. Uncle Cao believed it, and Dong Kangmai, who had fought against Qin Qiong, However, he suspected that this was a fake defeat of the Sui army and urged his uncle Cao to beware of Qin Qiong's tricks. Although his uncle Cao did not agree, he listened to it and ignored the other generals' requests to go to war. He decided to observe the situation again that afternoon. , Qin Qiong's army, which moved forward cautiously, approached Yueyang and set up camp ten miles west of Yueyang. Qin Qiong then sent Gu Nenggui to lead a thousand troops eastward to fight. Most of the generals in Dou's army scrambled to fight, and finally they were all able to speak in front of Dou Jiande. Ruan Junming overpowered everyone and was able to lead two thousand troops out of the camp to fight. In order to grasp the enemy's situation, Cao's brother-in-law also ordered Ruan Junming to form a formation in front of the camp gate, while he personally climbed to the top of the camp to observe the battlefield situation from a high position. According to the request, Gu Nenggui did not be as lazy as Xiong Wei and collapsed at the first touch. Instead, he led the army and Ruan Junming to fight with real swords and guns in front of the Dou Army Camp. He charged and fought in a melee before pretending to be defeated and escaping - it was not completely fake. Dou Jiande's army was actually quite capable of fighting, so Gu Nenggui, who did not dare to use his full strength, suffered considerable losses on the battlefield. He lost more than a hundred people and finally escaped from Dou's army. Ruan Junming led his army to pursue the Sui army. Near the camp, he did not retreat until he saw Qin Qiong personally leading his troops out of the camp to meet him. More than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Sui army also made valuable sacrifices. Seeing with his own eyes the combat effectiveness of the Sui army and the unpretended defeat, Uncle Cao had confidence in his heart and truly believed that his army could easily defeat Qin Qiong's army. He immediately decided in his mind to personally lead the main force to fight the next day and deal with Qin Qiong's army, which was nothing to be afraid of, in one fell swoop. However, what Uncle Cao did not expect was that at night, the two generals Xiong Wei and Gu Nenggui of the Sui army, who had been defeated by his men during the day, each led 500 elite troops to quietly leave the camp and ambush five miles due west of the Sui army camp. In the mountains and forests to the north, he gritted his teeth and waited for the arrival of his main army. The moment that decided the outcome finally came. In the early morning of the next day, Qin Qiong personally led 4,000 troops out of the camp and once again came to the Dou Army Camp to challenge. This time, Uncle Cao did not hesitate at all and ordered the dispatch as soon as he received the intelligence report. eightDong Kangmai personally led thousands of troops out of the camp to fight. Dong Kangmai persuaded Cao's brother-in-law that he did not need to send troops in person, and was punished by Cao's brother-in-law to stay in the camp to guard the camp. Coincidentally, the place where Qin Qiong and Brother-in-law Cao fought happened to be the place where Qin Qiong was accidentally attacked by Wang Fubao. When he revisited his old place and remembered the shameful past, Qin Qiong couldn't help but patted his horse and went out to fight in person. Brother-in-law Cao sneered and ordered Zhang Jinzhong to lead the battle. The army rushed into the formation and directly attacked the front of the Sui army's position. Qin Qiong pretended to resist, allowing the Chinese army to resolutely withstand Zhang Jinzhong's attack. They fought for a long time without giving in. Cao's brother-in-law was angry when he saw it. He relied on his large number of troops and ordered an army to detour and attack the Sui army's right wing. Only then did Qin Qiong begin to fake defeat. He deliberately let the right wing collapse and fled first, and then pretended to be defeated and led the entire army to retreat. Although it took more effort than expected to fight Qin Qiong away, the more this happened, the more Uncle Cao believed that Qin Qiong was not a fake defeat. Overjoyed, Uncle Cao, who did not want to miss the opportunity, did not hesitate and immediately ordered a pursuit. , personally led eight thousand troops to pursue Qin Qiong's army, which was fleeing in panic. Dou Jun's officers and soldiers, who were looking forward to the reward after the war, all rushed to be the first, and they all fought bravely. Each one in pursuit ran faster than the other, and they also unknowingly disgraced themselves. Some formations were messed up. The marathon of 10,000 people began. Because Dou Jiande's army was pursuing too closely, the Sui army officers and soldiers who were rushing to flee inevitably also had some confusion. The chaos was just following Qin Qiong's flag to the west, and Cao's brother-in-law was even more excited when he saw this scene. Without any doubt, he led the army and just charged forward with confidence, chasing Qin Qiong's Juhua all the way to the Sui army's camp. As a result, the defenders of the Sui army camp who had no time to build strong fortifications saw that the situation was not good and immediately abandoned the camp and fled westward. Qin Qiong did not dare to expect that this temporary camp could stop the pursuit of the pursuers, and led the defeated army directly across the camp to flee westward. Brother-in-law Cao refused to give up even though he easily captured the Sui army's camp, and led his army to continue the pursuit. After chasing another five or six miles due west, Cao's brother-in-law, who had been on the battlefield for several years, finally realized that something was wrong - why did Qin Qiong's army never have the intention of escaping to the southwest toward Yang County, but just kept heading west? ? When this suspicion arose, Brother-in-law Cao, who was arrogant on the outside but very cautious on the inside, made a prompt decision. He immediately reined in the horse's head and loudly ordered to stop the pursuit and reorganize the team. Brother-in-law Cao's order was given a little late. Before the order to stay was spread throughout the advance, gunpowder bottles exploded in the mountains and forests to the north. Xiong Wei and Gu Nenggui each led their ambush troops to shout out and attack Dou's army from a high position in pursuit. A long snake formed naturally during the battle, and Qin Qiong, who was fleeing in front, immediately turned around and roared loudly to fight again. "Sure enough, there is an ambush!" Brother-in-law Cao was once startled by the Sui army's sudden ambush. But after taking a closer look at the strength of the Sui army's ambush, Uncle Cao suddenly laughed loudly and shouted: " Order all armies to move closer to our commander's flag and form a square formation to play with Chen's army! " Indeed, the Sui army's ambush was really pitiful. There were only a thousand people and they were divided into two to attack each other. At the same time, the Sui army was in charge. In terms of total military strength, they are still at an absolute disadvantage and cannot be compared with Brother-in-law Cao's current strength. As long as Brother-in-law Cao gathers his troops, he can easily kill Qin Qiong's army, which has even lost its camp. However, Brother-in-law Cao soon discovered two things. The first is that the number of troops never determines victory or defeat on the battlefield. The second is that the generals of Qin Qiong's army had been teasing him before and had never really fought with him. life. The moment of revenge finally came. From the general Qin Qiong to the ordinary soldiers, all the Sui soldiers had red eyes and roared like thunder, with blood boiling and ferocious as flying. They madly slashed all the enemies on the opposite side like tigers descending the mountain. They had seriously despised the Sui Dynasty before. However, the generals and soldiers of the Dou Army were caught off guard. They were unable to deal with the Sui Army officers and soldiers who suddenly increased their combat effectiveness by several levels. In the blink of an eye, they were killed with corpses all over the ground, causing heavy casualties. Xiong Wei and Gu Nenggui both The ambush troops led by the general also successfully inserted Dou Jun's waist and cut Dou Jiande's army into three sections. During the melee, Qin Qiong, of course, charged directly at Brother-in-law Cao's commanding flag. Although he was separated by Zhang Jinzhong, who was rushing in front. Zhang Jinzhong immediately commanded the army to intercept. However, Zhang Jinzhong was stunned to see Qin Qiong, who was leading the charge. Like a steel knife slicing tofu, he easily penetrated the Dou Army's horizontal troops intercepting him one after another. Wherever he went, it was like a wave of waves, and all those who were invincible were invincible. The Sui Army officers also followed Qin Qiong, charging towards the giant axe. Like chopping firewood, the Dou army in front of them was intercepted one after another and split into two halves. Fortunately, Qin Qiong's target this time was not Zhang Jinzhong. He led his army to rush past Zhang Jinzhong. Zhang Jinzhong did not dare to stop him. He watched Qin Qiong lead his army straight to the commander-in-chief of Cao Cao's brother-in-law, and his hands and feet were so frightened that he could not stop him. A little numb, a thought immediately came to his mind, "He didn't fight us seriously before!" Then naturally it was Uncle Cao's turn to be frightened. Behind him, there was Xiong Wei leading the Sui army officers who were slashing madly. Kill, even retreatIt was very difficult to see Qin Qiong coming towards him like a ghost descending from the earth, unstoppable. Apart from shouting, Uncle Cao had no other thoughts left in his mind, "Hold it! Hold it! Hold it! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows!¡± Shouting had little effect. In the panic and crowding, Sergeant Dou had no time to form a dense formation to stop him. The arrows he fired in a hurry were not very powerful or accurate. The difference was outrageous. Qin Qiong continued to advance rapidly. As the horse rose and fell, Sergeant Dou fell to the ground one after another. In the blink of an eye, he was less than thirty steps away from Uncle Cao. At this moment, Uncle Cao, who had been on the battlefield for several years, finally came to his senses and yelled two absolutely correct orders, "Put down my flag! Run!" After shouting, Uncle Cao took the lead. The horse fled to the south where the terrain was open, and his personal flag bearer quickly put down the damn Cao-characterized flag. As a result, although Qin Qiong could no longer find Cao's brother-in-law among the rebellious army, he still had a chance. The soldiers of Dou's army who gathered in a group to wait for reinforcements were in bad luck. Unable to find a target, the various units of Dou's army could only scurry around the battlefield like headless flies. The soldiers of Sui's army took the opportunity to charge fiercely. Fighting, Dou Jiande's army was killed until ghosts cried like ghosts and wolves howled, causing heavy casualties. Then naturally, even after Dou Jiande became emperor, Dou's soldiers, who were not good at fighting hard battles, of course ran away for their lives. The various departments of the Sui army took the opportunity to get closer to each other and returned to the army. Under the leadership of Qin Qiong, they chased and cut down the enemy's defeated army. At the same time, after receiving the news that Cao's brother-in-law was ambushed, as a precaution, Dong Kangmai, who stayed behind in the camp, immediately led two thousand troops to the west to meet him. However, Dong Kangmai's action was still a step too late. In any case, Dong Kangmai's actions were too late. It was too late to save Dou's army from being defeated. As soon as he arrived near the battlefield, he was immediately rushed to pieces by his own defeated soldiers and was forced to join the escape team. The Sui army drove the enemy's defeated troops into the vanguard and pursued them all the way to the gate of Brother-in-law Cao's camp, killing many prisoners. At the critical moment, Cao's brother-in-law arranged for the defenders in Yueyang City to be effective. Seeing that the main force was defeated and fled back, he was afraid that his army would be defeated and overwhelm the camp. General Dou Jun and Gao Ya, Liu Heitai's good friend in history, stationed in Yueyang City. Xian, he quickly led two thousand troops out of the city to meet the Sui army and attacked the flanks of the Sui army. Qin Qiong had too few troops and did not dare to take risks. He could only quickly order the army to stand in line and form a formation to kill Gao Yaxian. He missed the precious opportunity to break through Cao's brother-in-law's camp. Opportunity, watching helplessly Dou Jun's defeated soldiers fled back to the camp under the cover of Gao Yaxian. "You guys are lucky today!" During the retreat, Qin Qiong, who was never satisfied with this result, pointed his horse at Dou's camp and cursed, "I thought we had fewer troops today. When our main force arrives, look at me." How can we kill you all?" "Chen Thief is so powerful with just six thousand vanguards. How can we resist when his main force arrives?" When Brother-in-law Cao finally escaped back to the camp, he discussed with the generals in fear, "Yue Yang The mountain road to Shangdang is too narrow and rugged for the main force to march. We are stationed in Yueyang Gucheng and it will be difficult for our main force to rescue us. Otherwise, we may not even be able to retreat because the main force of the Chen bandits has not yet arrived. , retreat first.¡±
