In the middle of the night, the generals heard the gathering drum and immediately got up.

Fortunately, due to the tense war, no one dared to take off their clothes when sleeping, so within half an hour, almost everyone was there.

The generals were all a little sleepy at this time, but no one dared to neglect him, because the General Li in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. Not only did he have a ruthless strategy, but he also had strict military laws, which made people both respect and fear him.

Li Jingduan sat at the commander's desk, picked up a command arrow, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly stood up and said: "Generals, we have just received information that Xue Renguo has eaten up all the food and grass and wants to escape. This commander is planning for the king of Yan and the court.

It has been decided that an army of 200,000 troops will march out in full force, pursue them one after another, and complete the victory in one battle. Do you have any objections?"

When the generals heard the news, they all looked at each other. Since the war with the Western Qin Dynasty, there has never been such a large-scale military operation. Now, based on only an unknown source of intelligence, they have to send two hundred thousand troops to pursue and march at night.

, what if something goes wrong?

Li Jing's general Xue Zong immediately said: "General, would you like to investigate again? What if the news is not conclusive and we are ambushed?"

"Impossible." Li Jing waved his hand: "The news is absolutely true. There is no doubt about it. You don't need to say it anymore. Get your troops in order immediately and set off before dawn."

"Xue Zong, you lead 30,000 cavalry on the left, Li Chuke leads 30,000 cavalry on the right to sweep the surrounding areas, Qiu Division leads 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and capture local scouts. I will personally lead the central army and come later. Everyone go down and prepare.

Bar."

"As commanded."

The Qiu Shili brothers were demoted generals, but they admired Li Jing very much and gained Li Jing's trust. They are now hardcore supporters of the Yan army. They are familiar with the art of war and can act quickly. They immediately started preparations after returning.

And at this moment, someone asked to see him.

When Qiu Shili saw that it was Li Jing's servant Li Lang, he asked him if the general had any other instructions. Li Lang smiled and handed him a letter: "The general said that it can only be opened after the army sets off."

"yes."

When Han Shi'e saw Li Jing mobilizing the army, he cheered loudly in his heart. If Li Jing arranged it this way, then their plan would definitely come true. I was afraid that few of the 200,000 troops would be able to come back. So he immediately sent someone to contact the scouts of the Western Qin Army.

Qiu Shili led five thousand cavalry into the Gaoshan area after dawn, only a few hundred miles away from Longshan. Here there are valleys, tall trees and dense forests, and there is only an open space to set up a formation. Only then did he remember what was immediately given to him.

I quickly opened the letter and read it, and I immediately understood it.

"I see."

"Stop advancing." Qiu Shili ordered all the soldiers to dismount and cut down the trees, then tie them to the tails of the horses and drag the branches into the valley. Smoke and dust suddenly appeared everywhere, as if hundreds of thousands of people had arrived. Birds and animals scurried away in fear.

, there was a sound in the valley.

Xue Renguo is a rough man who kills brutally without any strategy. He is more powerful than others. His generals are all generals under his command. At this time, the person responsible for the ambush is his number one general Hungan from Xianbei. Before the battle begins,

He was still drinking while riding on his horse, and when he heard the scout's report, he burst into laughter.

"This is the death of Li Jing from heaven. Immediately inform the two generals Hao Yuan and Zhang Gui and order them to cover up and kill him from the left and right wings. I will definitely capture Li Jing alive in this battle."

An hour later, Qiu Shili entered the ambush circle, and suddenly the war drums rumbled, the ambush soldiers came out from all directions, and the two sides fell into a melee.

Until now, Hun Gan and others still didn't realize that they had been deceived. They thought they were encountering Li Jing's main army, so they desperately threw all their available forces into the battlefield.

At this time, the two cavalry regiments on the left and right of Xue Zong and Li Chuke were also intercepted. Li Jing re-informed the generals and asked them to outflank Gaoqiu from the left and right wings and assist Qiu Shili in annihilating the Western Qin army.

And his own main army also began to advance at full speed.

At about noon, Li Jing's hundreds of thousands of infantry officially entered the battlefield. At this time, the entire Gaoshan Valley was already filled with loud killings and numerous dead bodies.

Just under the sudden attack by Xue Zong and Li Chuke's cavalry, most of the Western Qin army's formation had been knocked down and was now in chaos.

The Yan army's three lines of cavalry cut vertically and horizontally, cutting their 100,000-strong army into several pieces, completely cutting off contact with each other. Some generals tried to reorganize their formations, but they all ended in failure.

When Li Jing's heavy infantry joined the battlefield, the morale of the Western Qin army completely collapsed and they fled in all directions. The defeat could no longer be restored. The battle lasted until dusk.

"I am reporting to the General that the Western Qin Army was defeated. Hao Yuan, Hung Gan, and Zhang Gui escaped alone. The army of 100,000 was almost wiped out. Please give me your instructions, General."

Li Jing looked at the bloody battlefield in front of him and suddenly felt something was wrong: "No, no, the enemy seems to have been too hasty."

According to his original thought, this was Xue Renguo's trick to lure the enemy deeper, but if that was the case, they should have been more prepared.

Now they were defeated so easily, and there were no reinforcements to come in, and they didn't even occupy the high ground and drop rolling logs and rocks. It didn't look like they were fully prepared at all.

"Is it another traitor?"

Li Jing shivered in excitement, turned to Qiu Xinggong and said: "Send someone back to the camp immediately to see if there is any urgent military report from Chang'an."

Qiu Xinggong came back not long after he left. He was sweating and said to Li Jing: "General, something bad has happened. There has been a rebellion in Chang'an City, and we are now in a bitter battle."

"Oops."

Li Jing issued an urgent order and left Qiu Xinggong to clean the battlefield and guard Longshan. He personally led five thousand light cavalry and galloped towards Chang'an.

Qiu Shili led a large group of troops and came from behind.

Along the way, urgent documents fell into his hands one after another. Only then did he realize that the rebellion had already started in the middle of the night yesterday.

And not only was there a rebellion in Chang'an City, there was also a rebellion in Yongfengcang. The granary was almost burned down. Fortunately, Fei Qingnu personally inspected Cangcheng and put out the fire. He is currently suppressing the rebellion. , the situation has reached an extremely critical juncture.

"I hope Xuancheng can persist for one more day."

Now Li Jing doesn't know what to do. It spans three hundred miles from Fufeng County to Chang'an. The cavalry can definitely reach the city in a day and night, but it can only be light cavalry, and countless horses will be exhausted. Moreover, even if they reach the city, The soldiers have long since become soft-footed shrimps, and it is hard to say whether they can fight.

It can be said that since King Yan raised his army, he has never experienced such danger.
