When Liu Xiaomou was quietly surprised beside Liu Wuzhou, Song Jinjiang, Huang Ziying and other Dingyang Army generals beside Liu Wuzhou already had angry expressions on their faces. Then Liu Wuzhou quickly came to his senses and also pointed at Chen Sangliang with a riding crop. He made two seductive gestures contemptuously, and sneered loudly: "Since His Highness the King of Tang is so confident that he can wipe out all my army and my Taiyuan friendly forces under Taiyuan City, then come here, cross the river, I am waiting for you at any time. "You dare to call me a thief?" Chen Sangliang laughed and said, "Liu Wuzhou, what are you anxious about? The great rivers of Qinling and Taihang can't stop my army, let alone this mere cave." Xiaohe? Don't worry, my army will attack your camp within a day or two. When the time comes, don't be like that incompetent Li Erlang, who hides in a turtle shell every time he attacks. Come out!" What surprised Chen Sangliang was that Liu Wuzhou, who looked straightforward, did not reply smoothly after hearing these words. There was a bit of sarcasm in his laughter, which made Chen Sangliang feel secretly surprised. Not wanting to lower his momentum, he smiled again and said: "Speaking of Li Erlang, brother Wu Zhou, I really don't know what you think? You married your eldest sister to Yuan Junzhang and your second sister to Song Jingang. You are right. Yuan Junzhang and Song Jingang are both heroes of the world. It is not wronged for your sister to marry them. " "But are you stupid or crazy? How could you choose Li Erlang for a beautiful girl with small eyes? Husband? Don¡¯t you know that from Xinfeng to Daxing, and then from Daxing to Hedong to Huoyi and then to Taiyuan, Li Erlang was beaten by this king and hid like a lost dog, and he was in panic all day long? My sister is such a good girl. If you force her to marry such a loser, why don't you push her into a pit of fire? As an elder brother, are you worthy of your deceased parents? " Liu Xiaomou's eyes widened. Really? Thinking that Chen Sangliang, who was meeting for the first time, could speak a fair word for her, Liu Wuzhou snorted coldly and said, "This is my family matter and has nothing to do with you!" Sang Liang had already been persuaded by his cousin not to use divorce tactics anymore, but now that the opportunity arose, Chen Sang Liang couldn't help but said smoothly: "Okay, Brother Wu Zhou! I don't understand your thoughts yet, you The reason why you pushed your sister into the fire pit was entirely for yourself! You knew that Li Erlang was ambitious and wanted to murder his brother Li Jiancheng and replace him. You pushed your sister into the fire pit to marry him, and then joined forces with him to kill Li Jiancheng, and then took the opportunity to devour the Li Ni brothers. The five counties of Taiyuan that you occupied, right? You can't hide this from your poor sister, but you can't hide it from me!" Li Jing, Yuan Tiangang and other Sui army officers and soldiers all rolled their eyes and said to themselves, Your Highness, Prince Tang, you are here to stir up trouble again! However, Liu Wuzhou's face changed slightly on the other side of the Dongwo River, but Chen Sangliang said loudly: "Unfortunately, you have found the wrong partner for cooperation! Li Erlang is a tough-looking person, not to mention that he has no ability and no chance to murder him. Brother, even if you help him kill Li Jiancheng, he will never surrender to you and let you control him! The first thing he will do at that time will definitely be to kill you and seize the opportunity to annex your Mayi bandit army. I will kill your sister without hesitation and kill all your Liu family without leaving any children behind! This is his nature and cannot be changed! " "shut up! Stop sowing discord here! "Liu Wuzhou couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Chen Thief! Don't think that I don't know your despicable character. You will use shameless tricks in every battle, either to sow discord or to bribe divisions. I will not be fooled by you! " "Good medicine is bitter to the mouth, but loyal advice is unpleasant to the ears. Believe it or not! Chen Sangliang sneered, turned his horse's head and said loudly: "Okay, I am very busy and have no time to chat with you here. I will see you on the battlefield next time." " Turning his horse's head, Chen Sangliang added loudly without looking back, "Also, sister Xiaomou, don't be anxious and don't be afraid. For my cousin's sake, I will do it as soon as possible. Defeating your brother and rescuing you will prevent him from being completely pushed into the pit of fire! But when it's your time, you have to change your temper and stop acting like a girl. Be careful, I'll teach you a lesson with a ruler! " After saying that, Chen Sangliang really patted his horse and left. Li Jing, Yuan Tiangang and others followed closely, while Yuchi Jingde led the Sui army cavalry to carefully protect him. On the way back to the camp, Li Jing and Yuan Tiangang naturally asked about Chen Sangliang. Why didn't Sangliang take the opportunity to lure Liu Wuzhou across the river to fight? Chen Sangliang replied: "Originally I had this plan, but have you noticed it? I deliberately provoked Liu Wuzhou with arrogant words, but none of the generals around Liu Wuzhou cursed. This is enough to prove that the civil and military personnel close to Liu Wuzhou are calm people and will not lose their minds easily. I want them to fall into the trap and cross the river. Disaster. " "besides. Liu Wuzhou was also very cunning. "Chen Sangliang added: "I provoked him to go out to fight, but he didn't take any chances with me, leaving him no room. This is enough to show that his tactical thinking is clear, which is to insist on defending and then wait for opportunities.It will not be easily shaken and changed even if it is attacked. In the face of such a calm and rational enemy, the possibility of our military plan succeeding is very small. " "Yes, the lower official also found that Liu Wuzhou was not an impulsive person. It was very difficult to deceive him into fighting across the Dongwo River. Yuan Tiangang nodded in agreement and asked again: "Your Highness, so you are going to fulfill the promise you made in front of Liu Wuzhou and prepare to launch a frontal attack on his camp?" " "Of course not. "Chen Sangliang shook his head with a smile and said: "Although the camp fortifications of Liu and Li's bandits are vulnerable to our artillery, they are separated by a Dongwo River after all, which severely limits our troop deployment and artillery transportation. , even if we are sure of a frontal attack, the losses will definitely be considerable, and we will have to take some risks. Therefore, we still have to use strategies to force the enemy to adjust their tactics and make changes. Then we can seize the opportunity of chaos and instability that occurs when Liu and Li's thief army adjusts their tactics, and use all our strength to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. " "Then what exactly does His Highness plan to do? Li Jing asked. "Pretend to attack Liu Wuzhou, but actually attack the Taiyuan army." Chen Sangliang replied without batting an eyelid: "I had already thought of this tactic when I discovered that Liu and Li's bandits were camped five miles apart. Next, we only need to pretend to attack Liu Wuzhou's defensive position and force the Taiyuan bandit army to send troops to share the burden for Liu Wuzhou. pressure, and then took the opportunity to attack the Taiyuan bandit army and defeat the enemy with all their strength. Then within a few battles, Liu and Li's bandit army will inevitably be unable to withstand the pressure and be forced to make adjustments, and then our opportunity will appear. " "Great idea! Li Jing was overjoyed when he heard this and pointed out: "Liu Wuzhou came all the way to rescue the Taiyuan rebels. His position was attacked. The Taiyuan rebels, whether for moral reasons or to please Liu Wuzhou, must send troops to help. Our army will take the opportunity to attack head-on, so no matter what No matter how the war situation develops, the soldiers of Liu and Li will inevitably hate each other and create a rift. Liu Wuzhou and the Li brothers can only make adjustments if they cannot withstand the complaints of the soldiers. As soon as they start to move, our opportunity will come. " While Chen Sangliang and Li Jing decided on the offensive tactics, the meeting between Liu Wuzhou and Chen Sangliang across the Dongwo River was also reported to the Li brothers by Taiyuan Army scouts. They learned the content of the conversation between Chen Sangliang and Liu Wuzhou. Li Naturally, the brothers had to join forces to scold Chen Sangliang for his shameless estrangement. Although Li Jiancheng knew very well that Liu Wuzhou deliberately married his sister to Li Er for the purpose of annexing the five counties of Taiyuan, Li Jiancheng was seeking something from Liu Wuzhou at the moment. Even if he knew that Chen Sangliang was definitely not talking nonsense, he could only pretend to be stupid and accuse his friend of talking nonsense. Of course, Li Er was even more angry at Chen Sangliang's shameless slander. After scolding him, Li Er still said. Then he said to Li Jiancheng: "Brother, since the traitor Chen Yingliang really has plans to alienate us again, we must not take this matter lightly. My younger brother proposes that as long as Ding Yang's position is attacked, no matter whether Liu Wuzhou sends an envoy to ask for help from our army, we We should all take the initiative to send troops to assist in the war, use hard facts to stabilize the confidence of our friendly forces, and break the shameless estrangement of Chen Yingliang and the traitor. " At the same time that Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement with Li Er's suggestion, Liu Xiaomou also followed Liu Wuzhou back to the Dingyang military camp. After returning to the camp, Liu Xiaomou, who had been spoiled by Liu Wuzhou, naturally had to make a fuss and questioned Liu Wuzhou. Did he deliberately push her into the fire pit just for his own benefit? It's a pity that Liu Wuzhou didn't give in to his sister this time. Liu Xiaomou didn't listen after explaining a few words, and Liu Wuzhou's big slap hit Liu Xiaomou's cute little face. After crying and leaving, Liu Wuzhou looked at Nan Mian bitterly and said secretly: "Chen Thief, don't think that this can alienate the relationship between me and the Li family! I can't believe that things have reached this stage and the Li brothers dare to be disrespectful to me in the slightest! ¡± ¡¡¡ The day passed quickly. The next morning, which was also the early morning of June 17, the third year of Yining, the Sui army dispatched about 15,000 people before the camp fortifications were completed. Although the Sui army's attack was obviously not to attack the Liu and Li coalition's camp, it was only aimed at the river defense fortifications of the Liu and Li coalition. At the same time, Chen Sang. Liang did not personally direct the battle and handed over the command to Li Jing, but Liu Wuzhou and the Li brothers still attached great importance to this outpost battle. They assembled their troops early and were ready to rescue the river bank positions and prevent the Sui army from crossing the river. What surprised both the Li brothers and Liu Wuzhou was that the main point of the Sui army's attack was not the nearest Taiyuan army camp, but the Dingyang army's river defense position five miles to the east. Ten Sui army artillery were in the cave. The south bank of the river was lined up, and the river defense fortifications of the Dingyang Army on the north bank were directly bombarded. In just over half an hour, the dense antlers built by the Dingyang soldiers were wiped out, and the Dingyang soldiers who encountered firearms for the first time were all wiped out. Sergeant Yang was so beaten that he lay down behind the wall of sheep and horses, not daring to raise his head. He also destroyed the three pontoon bridges that Ding Yang's army could destroy at any time. Then, Li Jing marched forward and used his long shield on the south bank of the Dongwo River. ?A temporary wall of sheep and horses was built to protect the Sui army's archers. Behind the long shield wall, they fired arrows to suppress the Yang army's defenders and covered the Sui soldiers in building a pontoon bridge. Li Jing waved his flag again, and two hundred Sui soldiers who were proficient in water skills were Immediately carry ropes, wooden stakes and long shields to swim across the river and build a pontoon bridge on the other side of the river. The fierce battle for the river beach began. Unable to use bows and arrows to effectively prevent the Sui soldiers protected by long shields from building a pontoon bridge, the Dingyang army could only dispatch infantry to fight with the Sui army on the river beach. The Sui army was well prepared. The advance team divided their forces to fight, and the Sui army's archers also shot as accurately as possible to help the advance team prevent the enemy's attack. The north bank of the Dongwo River shouted to kill Zhentian. The soldiers of the two armies engaged with each other with daggers. The swords were bleeding and some soldiers fell to the ground. The fighting was extremely brutal. The Dongwo River, which was only three feet wide, was destined to be unable to stop the Sui army from rushing to build a pontoon bridge. After the first pontoon bridge was built, the Sui army infantry immediately stepped on the bridge to cross the river and quickly seized the river beach position. They were suppressed too severely by the Sui army archers. The Yang army retreated tactically under the personal command of Liu Wuzhou, allowing the Sui army soldiers to cross the river. At the same time, Liu Wuzhou quickly assembled a large number of troops outside his military camp, preparing to seize the opportunity to attack halfway across the river to launch a counterattack. Li Er also led 5,000 Taiyuan troops out of camp early to prepare for battle. Liu Wuzhou wanted to catch the fighter plane that was halfway across the border. Li Er also understood very well, but Li Er was very worried about an important issue, so Li Er also personally patted the horse early. He went to Liu Wuzhou and issued a warning, saying: "Brother, Chen's army is very good, but it's too much for them to cross the river. It's best to attack Chen's army immediately after about a thousand people have crossed the river, and defeat them again." Go to the river." Liu Wuzhou looked at Li Er with some contempt and said: "The Chen bandits have crossed the river with more than a thousand people, and we will attack. How many Chen bandits can we kill and we can easily withdraw with such a small number of people? If we go across the river, we probably won¡¯t kill as many rebel soldiers as we did by the rebel archers, right?¡± ¡°But it¡¯s better than letting the rebel soldiers cross the river in large numbers,¡± Li Er said earnestly, ¡°Brother, You have never fought against Chen's army on the battlefield. You don't know how powerful his soldiers are. That traitor has always believed in the supremacy of elite soldiers. Even if we let him cross the river with 2,000 men, it will be difficult for us to drive him away again. The river" "Okay, okay, I know." Liu Wuzhou interrupted impatiently, and then said: "Go back and command your army. When it is time to launch an attack, I will order the attack. I have my own confidence. , You don¡¯t need to worry about it!¡± Li Er had no choice but to turn around and return to his army¡¯s formation with a sigh, but Liu Wuzhou snorted at his back and said in a low voice: ¡°Chen Thief is really right, as expected. What a desperate dog!" To Li Er's despair, it wasn't until the Sui army crossed the river with more than 3,000 soldiers that Liu Wuzhou ordered General Huang Ziying to lead his army to attack. However, the Sui army had already lined up on the river beach. In order to build the Yanyue Formation with strong defensive power, the solid moon wheel firmly blocked the Dingyang Army's attack outwards, and the space behind the wheel covered the Sui Army officers and soldiers as they continued to cross the river to reinforce the battle formation. At the same time, more than thirty people had already been erected on the Dongwo River. With the pontoon bridge on the road, it was quite easy for the Sui army to attack or retreat. What made Li Er even more helpless was that the Sui Army's crossing army was still the Kan Leng team under Chen Sangliang who was best at fighting tough battles. Although the Dingyang Army's offensive was fierce, it could never break into the Sui Army's Yanyue Formation, and even more There was no way to completely defeat the Sui Army's Yanyue Formation. After taking a few bites, he didn't touch the Sui Army's Crescent Moon Formation. On the contrary, he saw the tragic sight of the soldiers of the Sui Army being killed in front of Chang Mo Dao, leaving corpses scattered all over the field. Liu Wuzhou secretly regretted letting the Sui Army soldiers cross the river too much. They could only let the front army retreat temporarily to regroup and prepare for the second round of attack. At the same time, they sent people to ask Li Er to also launch an attack. Li Er did not dare to disobey, so he could only follow Liu Wuzhou's request and march up to attack. In the northwest of the Sui Army's Yanyue Formation, the Dingyang Army was responsible for attacking the northeastern part of the Sui Army's Yanyue Formation. Li Jing was waiting for this opportunity. While the flag was waving, Kan Leng continued to lead his army to defend the front of the Yanyue Formation. However, when the two armies were entangled, 600 infantrymen of the Sui army protruded from the west of the Yanyue Formation. The fierce general Qiu Xinggong led a fierce attack on Li Er. On the flank, Li Er was forced to divide his troops to fight, and started a melee with the Sui army. An even fiercer battle unfolded in the northwest of the Sui Army's position. Although the Sui Army infantry led by Qiu Xinggong was small in number, everyone took the lead bravely. With red eyes, they just frantically slashed at the enemy on the opposite side. Qiu Xinggong himself was walking with a big sword in his hand. In front of him, Dahou kept swinging his sword wildly, killing more than ten enemies in an unstoppable manner. At the same time, the Yanyue Formation of the Sui Army under Kan Leng also struggled to kill the Taiyuan Army on the opposite side while insisting on holding firm, and tried its best to save Qiu Xinggong's trap. The divisions shared the pressure, and the battlefield was filled with flashes of swords and thunderous sounds of killing. Soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties. Although Li Er is also an unparalleled brave general, his subordinates Zhu Can and Liang Jianfang are also rare generals. However, the Taiyuan soldiers under their command are far less brave than them. Their morale is low after losing consecutive battles, and Qiu Xinggong sacrifices his life like this. As soon as they charged, they soon became unable to resist, and the formation gradually became chaotic. Qiu Xinggong's army used Qiu Xinggong himself as an arrow.The Taiyuan Army rushed left and right in the formation, as if they were entering an uninhabited land. The Taiyuan Army was almost unable to parry, and there were even cases where the soldiers fled timidly. Li Eryi saw that the situation was not good, so he could only quickly withdraw his troops and temporarily withdraw the troops to regroup. Li Er's golden gong rang, and the Taiyuan army fled back like an amnesty, retreating to a distant place to reorganize their troops. Although the Sui army's trap team led by Qiu Xinggong did not pursue far and withdrew to rest inside the Yanyue Formation, but There were boos in the main formation of the Dingyang Army because at this moment, the infantry of the Dingyang Army led by Huang Ziying were still fighting hard with the Sui Army soldiers in the northeast of the Sui Army's Yanyue Formation. The Taiyuan Army who retreated before the battle naturally attracted Ding Yangjun was dissatisfied and dissatisfied. Even Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and others couldn't help but get a little angry, and cursed together: "Why is this Li Erlang so useless?" Of course, Li Er also knew that his decision would definitely arouse dissatisfaction from the friendly forces, so he killed him on the battlefield. After killing several soldiers who took the lead in escaping, Li Er immediately led the army to launch another attack. However, just like the last time, the Taiyuan Army had just encountered the Sui Army's Yanyue Formation, and the western part of the Yanyue Formation, which was covered by the Sui Army's archers, immediately The 600 trapped troops were driven out, led by Liu Shishan, another fierce general of the Sui Army. They attacked the flanks of the Taiyuan Army without hesitation like last time. They also launched a crazy charge and attack like the last time, killing the Taiyuan Army frantically without risking their lives. Soldiers. After holding on for more than half a quarter of an hour longer than last time, Li Er, who had only a small number of soldiers, ordered the gold medal again with tears in his eyes. He withdrew to a distance to reorganize his team amidst even louder disdainful boos from Dingyang's friendly troops, and this time Liu Wuzhou also Unable to endure it any longer, he immediately sent someone to question Li Er face to face, "Do you dare to fight Chen's army? Why are our troops still holding on in the eastern section and you have already retreated twice?" Liu Wuzhou gritted his teeth and asked Without saying a word in front of the envoy's questioning, Li Er quickly reorganized his team, strengthened the flank defense, and launched an attack on the Sui Army's Modao Formation for the third time. However, just as the Taiyuan Army infantry encountered the Sui Army's Yanyue Formation for the third time. At this time, the Sui Army's infantry led by Qiu Xinggong once again stood out in the western part of the Yanyue Formation. Li Er, who was prepared, went to the flank to supervise the battle in person with red eyes, gritting his teeth and preparing to kill Qiu Xinggong. What made Li Er a little confused was that Qiu Xinggong did not rush to charge after coming out of the battle this time. Instead, he quickly formed his team and seemed to be preparing to advance slowly. Li Er, who had a relatively large number of troops on the local battlefield, was secretly happy. His eyelids twitched involuntarily and behind Qiu Xinggong, about two schools of Sui army cavalry came out, patting their horses. The position of Li Er's army was not too far from where the Sui army's cavalry came out, and there was not enough space for the charge. Li Er expected that the Sui army's cavalry would definitely detour to the west or behind him and charge again, so he decisively ordered the powerful cavalry. General Liang Jianfang led the only 600 cavalry under his command to prepare for a cavalry battle with the Sui cavalry. However, just after the order was delivered, Li Er was immediately dumbfounded. The Taiyuan soldiers beside him also screamed heartbreakingly, "White-robed soldiers! They are white-robed soldiers under Chen Thief!" The reporting ****, under the leadership of Yu Le, the reporting **** soldiers who had been deliberately keeping a low profile before were trotting around and looking for space. At the same time, they suddenly showed off their iconic snow-white cloaks. The white robes were fluttering, and they stood on the loess and bloody sand. Especially eye-catching. Seeing those iconic white robes, before the soldiers could launch a charge, the Taiyuan Army, who were already frightened, felt their legs were weak, but Li Er almost cried. , cursed: "Li Yaoshi Peifu! Did I dig up your ancestral grave, or robbed your sister? Why did you just defend Liu Wuzhou and do not fight, and you have some good soldiers and generals, but you all attacked me? Are you deliberately trying to get rid of me?" I¡¯ll lose my face to the end!¡±
