    Luoyang, in the south of the city and in the north of Yangqu, is the Huaqiang military formation.  Duan Da was wearing a gorgeous general's robe and armor, riding a tall horse. He looked at the Tang army opposite with a puzzled face. As far as he could see, he could see an army of only about 20,000 men. The width was less than half that of the 50,000 men on his side, and he looked at it.  The armor was in tatters. Many of them were holding nothing more than wooden spears and single swords. Less than half of them even wore leather armor. This was obviously not an elite force. At most, they were just auxiliary soldiers and the old and weak. They were sparsely seen at the moment.  They formed a formation opposite the three river bridges in the south, with the spears forward and the archers behind, in a fully defensive posture.  The gray-bearded Yun Dingxing smiled and said: "Commander Duan, look, those Tang troops across the way are all old, weak, sick and disabled. They are no match for our Dongdu soldiers and horses. Now we only need to give the order to rush across the river."  Go, the more than 20,000 Tang troops must be defeated at the first touch. We have achieved great success this time!" Duan Da did not speak, turned to look at Ban Ye Gang, who was frowning at the side, and said: "General Ban Ye.  , you are a veteran and a general, what do you think this time?" The corner of Ba Yegang's mouth curled up: "Today is the day when Li Shimin and His Majesty are scheduled to fight. Although I did not receive the order until before leaving the city, he said  It was Li Shimin who led the Xuanjia Army to sneak attack on the West City, and His Majesty also led Huainan elites out of the West City to set up an ambush. But in any case, even if the five thousand Xuanjia cavalry were not there, the main force of the Tang army should be in the south of the city. It could not be of this strength.  " Duan Da nodded: "General Banye's thoughts are exactly the same as mine. Huh, Li Shimin must be cunning and deliberately lure us with weak soldiers here. Once we rush across the river bridge and attack the weak enemy on the opposite side,  Then they will pretend to be defeated and retreat, and then the elite soldiers lying in ambush will flank our army. Unfortunately, this time they encounter me, Duan Da. I have fought against Li Mi many times before, and I have seen this kind of tactics many times.  , I won't be fooled by him." Yun Dingxing rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Dashuai Duan said it right, that's it. Li Tang is cunning, this must be their trick to lure the enemy. Anyway, we are here today.  It's just a show here, just hold back Li Tang's main force. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. This is the best policy!" Zhang Tong'er, the former general of the Xiaoguo Army on one side, curled his lips: "But now, the east side is here.  The sound of killing there was loud. It should be that the army of the King of Han (before Wang Shichong attacked yesterday, he specifically added Yang Xuangan as King of Han, and his status was the same as that of Li Jing) had fought with the flanking troops of the Tang Army. If we fight here, we should fight  The King of Han is helpful, and the army of the King of Shu should be coming soon. Even if the enemy has an ambush, we will only send out three to five thousand cavalry to attack him. It¡¯s a good idea to test the reality. " Duan Da Leng.  He said calmly: "General Zhang, I know your intention to make great achievements. Don't forget that we are now a whole, not your former Xiaoguo Army. Don't always think about grabbing credit like before. If this battle is  We have won. The whole world belongs to us, and it is indispensable for your contribution. Your five thousand cavalry are the assault force of the entire army, and they are also elite. If we attack easily and are ambushed, then our army will be in danger. Hold on tightly.  , is victory!" On the south bank of the river, the Tang army formed a large formation.  General Qian Jiulong's face was covered with sweat. He looked at the brightly armored army opposite and murmured: "Is there really no problem with the general's situation? Why are these Dongdu soldiers and horses so well-equipped?  Is this really just their side force?" Wang Junkuo, the deputy general on one side, curled his lips and said: "Dongdu has always been the capital of the Sui Dynasty. There are a lot of sophisticated equipment in the arsenal. Just because you are well-dressed does not necessarily mean you will be good at fighting.  When I was in Li Mi's Wagang Army, I fought against them many times, but I didn't see anything special about them. " Qian Jiulong felt relieved and was about to speak, but his expression changed and he looked at them.  The more than 5,000 heavily armored Xiaoguo cavalry on the opposite right wing, whose horses were also armored, said, "This, isn't this the Xiaoguo cavalry?" Wang Junkuo also noticed this, his face changed, and he murmured  He said quietly: "Yes, these are really Xiaoguo Cavalry. I know the general leading the troops, it seems to be Zhang Tong'er." Qian Jiulong's voice was trembling: "Then, what should we do now? We auxiliaries  How can the soldiers and the old and weak fight against the Dongdu soldiers and even the Xiaoguo Army? If we really want to fight, their secrets will be exposed." Wang Junkuo gritted his teeth and said, "Now I think it's just a matter of fighting a wolf.  The enemy doesn't know our true identity and is afraid of being ambushed by us, so he has been slow to move, otherwise he would have attacked us long ago. We don't have to do anything, just continue to hold on here. The commander-in-chief said that as long as we  If you can survive for half a day, you are a great hero!" Qian Jiulong frowned: "Really, can you survive for half a day? I'm afraid it's difficult." Wang Junkuo looked at the mountains in the south.  From the angle, one could vaguely see the smoke rising from all directions, and the sound of killings followed the wind and came from the mountains twenty miles away. He murmured:?The frontal problem is not big, it just depends on how long General Qutu can hold on.  " At Quesai Mountain, Li Jing had already mounted a tall horse. Accompanied by hundreds of guards, he arrived about a mile in front of the mountain road. A large number of troops followed several mountain roads and even crossed the dense forest.  Attack, war drums are intensive, and on the top of the mountain several hundred meters high, the sound of killing is loud. From time to time, you can see raindrops of bows and arrows and a large number of rolling logs and stones, being thrown from the fortress fence on the top of the mountain, all the way down the mountain.  Rolling, people kept being hit by arrows and stones, and then rolled down. By the time they fell into the ravine in the mountain, they were already bloody and indistinguishable. It was precisely because the arrow rain on the top of the mountain was too dense that they were attacking the mountain.  As soon as the troops raised their heads, they would cause a lot of casualties. From this angle, Li Jing saw that his troops had charged four or five times in a row, but they could not advance twenty or thirty steps, so they could only retreat to the starting position and throw away the enemy in vain.  There were more than a hundred corpses, but they were suppressed less than a hundred steps from the top of the mountain. Su Dingfang gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma, this damn place is so damn hard to fight. Master, we have already charged."  It's been an hour, but I just can't attack. What should I do?  " Li Daliang murmured: "Our armored soldiers are sharp, but too much armor affects the speed of action. I'm afraid we need to find another way.  " Li Jing's eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at Su Dingfang and Li Daliang who were standing beside him, and said: "Dingfang, bring my guards up, and order the front troops to all take off their armor and go into battle lightly. Anyone who retreats without hearing the gold.  , the rear team kills the front team, Daliang, you personally supervise the battle!  Within half an hour, if you don¡¯t plant the flag of our army on the top of the mountain, you can raise your head to see us!  "
