At dusk, Yang Tong gathered a large group of middle-level generals and told them the real battle plan.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, but resolutely accepted the order.

Yang Tong took a sharp breath and ordered: "Without further delay, the army retreated in batches at night. The first wave was Taipu and Shubao; Niu Jinda was the second wave; Pei Xingyan, Luo Shixin and I took five thousand Xiaoguo

The army and Xuanjia Army are the third wave; Yang Shanhui and Yang Yuanhong each lead 10,000 infantry to stay to intercept Dou Jiande and buy time for the retreating army. You can first pile up more firewood in the camp and pretend to be defeated.

Burn the stronghold to intercept the enemy and lure the enemy into our encirclement."

Yang Tong, Yang Yichen and others continued to block the enemy's strategy. When engaging in battle, it would take a long time to pretend to be defeated. Otherwise, who would believe that the famous Xiaoguo army was defeated in one battle?

Afterwards, the baton was handed over to Yang Yichen. He was indeed a general who had experienced hundreds of battles. He had various offensive and defensive tactics, which was an eye-opener for Yang Tong and other younger generations.

Yang Tong and the others were resourceful and courageous, but lacked such rich combat experience. They felt they had benefited a lot from just watching.

"The humble minister will go and make arrangements. Although he is defeated, but before retreating, the general will make these bastards lose a good tooth!"

Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong and Su Lie were ordered to go.

Yang Tong hoped that the plan would be implemented smoothly, but when he thought of the infantrymen who were about to die, he suddenly felt a deep sense of apology in his heart.

Yang Yichen had been on the battlefield for a long time and understood what Yang Tong was feeling at this time. He patted his shoulder and comforted him: "There is no immortality in the war. As a commander, what I want is to achieve the greatest victory with the smallest casualties. These soldiers behind the throne will indeed be tempted by His Highness."

Some people were sacrificed as the enemy penetrated deeply into the plan, but more people will survive because of His Highness's plan. In front of a qualified commander, his soldiers are his chess pieces. Under his fiddle, various unpredictable tactics and strategies will be used.

, defeat the opponent! Therefore, you must have a cold heart in war."

"Thank you, Taipu! I understand. It's just that I can't let it go." People's hearts are full of flesh, and Yang Tong is by no means a cold-blooded and ruthless person. He cannot be cold-hearted enough to regard soldiers as chess pieces. He can only wait until he settles down, and he must make a vigorous move.

Massive military training, through brutal training, gives soldiers an extra chance of survival on the battlefield.

After dinner, night gradually fell.

The sky is covered with dark clouds, but there is no rain, which is good for sneak attacks but not good for pursuit.

Yang Tong was secretly happy: It was such a good weather, it seemed that God was also helping them.

It was almost early in the morning, and Dou Jiande, who had come out in full force, had already led the army outside the camp.

There was silence between heaven and earth, and not a single noise could be heard except for the mosquitoes chirping all around.

With the help of the scattered firelight in the camp, Dou Jiande had a rough idea of ​​the enemy's camp layout, and his heart became heavy. He praised: "This Yang Tong is indeed an outstanding figure in the royal family. Look at the layers of the military camp.

They are in good order; the soldiers patrolling the camp are full of energy and orderly; the food, grass and baggage are piled up like mountains, and they are heavily guarded. Even if they attack at night, our army cannot take much advantage."

Wang Fubao beside him agreed: "What the elder brother said makes sense, but the other party's experience is too little. Otherwise, we will never get any benefits..."

The current situation was such that an arrow was imminent and had no choice but to be fired, and Dou Jiande raised the call to charge.

"Kill..." tens of thousands of rebels shouted in unison, and then they split up and rushed towards their respective targets quickly, with a momentum like an overwhelming force!

In an instant, the peace and tranquility of the night was thrown out of the sky. There were only about twenty people on the Sui army guard post. Hearing the shouts that sounded like the ground was cracking that day, they hurriedly sounded the alarm. In less than a moment, they were rushed to the ground.

The arriving soldiers chopped him up and stabbed him to death.

For a time, shouts such as "The enemy is attacking..." and "We are facing the enemy..." were heard one after another.

The entire Sui army camp exploded!

With the sound of war drums, the rebels rushed into the camp one after another like wolves and tigers. They fought hand to hand with the Sui army who had already reacted, and fought each other. In terms of individual combat capabilities, these desperadoes were no worse than the Sui army.

Yang Tong looked around and roughly estimated that the enemy had put in at least 50,000 people. In terms of a surprise attack, this was a quite large number. They had the advantage of first mover and numbers, and had already occupied a small amount of ground when they rushed into the camp.

Advantage.

Soldiers on both sides, you cut me down and killed me brutally.

"I didn't expect the rebels in Hebei Province to be so powerful." Qin Qiong exclaimed. They were much stronger than the ant-like Wagang Army. They were simply incomparable.

"What these bandits are doing is the decapitation of rebellion. How can they do it without any courage? Moreover, the bandits in Hebei Province have been in chaos for seven or eight years. After the survival of the fittest, all the remaining ones are strong and brave men.

.Although they have no military discipline, and although they do not have strict battle formations, they will definitely fight without their lives." Yang Tong said seriously.

At this time, the Sui archers and crossbowmen put their arrows on the bow strings one after another.

They were a powerful force in hundreds of battles during the Sui Dynasty. These archers were well-trained and not only powerful, but also shot arrows extremely fast, twice as fast as ordinary soldiers.

They did not panic at all when facing the bandit soldiers coming from the opposite side. They used the fortifications to cover themselves and put their arrows on their bowstrings one after another.

Soldier arrows are large arrows, two feet long, and the arrows are very heavy. They are shot in a parabola, using their own weight to shoot down. Their penetrating power is so strong that it is difficult for ordinary leather armor to resist, let alone thieves wearing civilian clothes.

Yang Yuanhong stared at the rebel soldiers who were getting closer and closer. When the enemy troops rushed into the hundred-step line, he immediately ordered: "Shoot!"

There was a sudden sound of clappers in the camp, and the archers fired at the same time. Thousands of arrows flew into the air and shot towards the black army of thieves.

Soldiers' arrows whizzed in and shot into the dense crowd. Blood splattered and screams broke out. The rebel soldiers were shot to the ground one after another! There were countless casualties. The rebel soldiers who were not shot to death were stabbed with arrows and wailing.

His comrades trampled him to death.

The thieves raised their shields to greet them, and the second round of arrows came again. This time the archers fired from a slightly farther range, hitting the thick band of thieves behind the sword and shield soldiers. Once again, there was a shrill scream on the battlefield, and the thieves were

Knocked down by an arrow!

Several rounds of volleys killed thousands of people immediately.

Seeing that the bows and arrows were too sharp, Dou Jiande shouted: "The Chinese army is pressing forward!"

Rather than being easily harvested by the Sui army, it is better to use the numerical advantage to neutralize the enemy's sharp bows and arrows! As long as they get closer, the advantage of the Sui army's archers will disappear.

In the night, more than 20,000 armed thieves appeared. This was Dou Jiande's elite army. They were dressed in Sui army armor, held high thick wooden shields, and held war spears in their hands. They lined up neatly and marched towards the camp gate under the leadership of Wang Fubao.

They charge everywhere, and the shields in their hands are exquisitely crafted and can withstand the arrows of soldiers overhead.

This bandit army was originally the soldiers of Qinghe County. After being recruited by Dou Jiande, it was expanded and became his core army. Its morale and combat effectiveness were completely different from the bandit army just now.

Yang Tong also discovered this unique army, which was beyond his expectation. It turned out that Dou Jiande also had such well-trained soldiers. If they were promoted among the fierce thieves, there would be at least 100,000 elite soldiers.

Soldier.

Yang Tong was secretly glad that he had made the right decision. Not to mention this elite army, the unorganized thieves' army alone was no less capable than the elite infantry of the Sui Dynasty in terms of individual combat capabilities.

Fortunately, I didn't underestimate the enemy by going head-to-head, but instead used a strategy. Otherwise, even if I won in the end, it would probably be a miserable victory.

"Retreat!" Yang Yichen came to Yang Tong's side. It was not appropriate for him to show his face as he was among the first wave of retreating personnel.

"Your Majesty, I want to stay and lure the enemy!" Yang Tong felt very unbearable when he saw that the Sui Dynasty was in a bitter battle on the front line because of him.

Yang Yichen glanced at him, pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, since His Highness insists, I will allow you to do whatever you want. If you are here, you can indeed lead the opponent into the encirclement better! But... be careful in everything! I know that you are highly skilled in martial arts, but

This is the battlefield...and you are the King of Qin, the soul of the army..."

"Understood!" Yang Tong shouted: "Xingyan, Shixin, your troops are divided into left and right groups to rush into the enemy's formation, rescue the soldiers trapped in the encirclement and fighting hard, and assist them to retreat to Yang Shanhui's second line of defense. I will lead my personal guards by

Head-on attack!"

Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin accepted the order in unison.
Chapter completed!
