Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 98
On the official road, thousands of Yun Kingdom cavalry, under the urging of the general, roared past.

Xia Guo's soldiers ambushing on both sides tightened their weapons, their breathing became rapid, and they fixed their eyes on the sky, waiting for the smoke to rise from Gaoding Mountain, they would immediately fight out.

King Qi Yu Zhaoling stood on the top of the mountain, behind him was a simple beacon fire, and when he gave an order, his own soldiers lit the beacon fire.

The cavalry passed by, and after waiting for half a day, the Chinese infantry from Yunguo did not arrive.

King Qi frowned slightly, pursing his lips in thought.

He should be happy that the plan went so smoothly, but there was always an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

At this time, a general with an excited face hurried up to King Qi, cupped his hands and said:

"Commander, the spies report back, the Yun Kingdom's army has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, King Qi restrained himself and looked south.

The Yunguo infantry, with neat armor and solemn military appearance, marched quickly along the official road.Under the gaze of Xia Guo's ambush army, he stepped into the ambush.

At this time, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired!

King Qi got rid of the worries in his heart, no longer hesitated, and said coldly:
"Light up the wolf smoke!"

The soldiers behind him obeyed immediately and lit the beacon fire.

Not long after, billows of black smoke rose from the top of the mountain, which was very conspicuous.

On both sides of the official road, the army of the Xia Kingdom ambushed on Gaoding Mountain and Dongshan Mountain immediately moved, and there was a sound of shouting and killing, and they rushed towards the army of the Kingdom of Yun with the momentum of swooping high.

The sound of shouting and killing was echoed by the surrounding mountains, and echoed in all directions. For a moment, it seemed that there were enemies all around and was completely surrounded.

In the war under the ancient background, there are no satellites or drones for you to check the situation of the enemy and the enemy.There are many battles where the ambush army is only a few hundred or thousands, but it is possible to defeat tens of thousands of troops, relying on psychological intimidation.

The ambushed army heard the sound of shouts of killing from all around them. Unprepared, they only felt that there were enemies all around them. They were in a panic, and naturally they would collapse at the first touch.

The soldiers in Yunguo's army suddenly became chaotic amidst the shouts of killing.

But the chaos calmed down in an instant.

The Yun Kingdom's army, restrained and appeased by the general, regained order, and the loose formation was close together.The pawns with shields stepped forward, spears entered the forest, and stood up slowly, while the archers retreated into the formation, bowing and stringing.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of troops formed a solid formation and defended on the spot.

On Xia Guo's side, a burly military master with a copper hammer the size of a human head took the lead and rushed straight. When he was only a dozen steps away from the Yun Guo army formation, he turned around and the copper hammer in his hand flew away impressively.

The copper hammer entwined the powerful energy of this burly master, like a cannonball, carrying the sound of piercing the sky, like a meteor hitting the ground, it slammed on the iron shield.

There was only a loud "bang", and the iron shield was smashed into a big groove, and several shield-bearing soldiers around them vomited blood, and flew out backwards, overwhelming a group of soldiers.

There was a huge gap in the Yunguo army formation.

But before the burly army of the Xia Kingdom rushed in, a high-ranking member of the Yun Kingdom Army jumped out with a spear in his hand.

Xia Guo's burly soldier didn't even have time to react, he was shot through the throat and fell to the ground dead.

And it was at this time that the Yun Kingdom's rear reserve team came and blocked the original gap.The army array has been perfected again.

The Xia State army that continued to rush forward, bumped into a forest of spears head-on, the puffing sound of flesh and blood being cut, and the rusty and bloody bits on the nose made people shudder.

The bloody slaughter on the battlefield is fully visible.

Seeing this, several confidants around King Qi started discussing immediately.

"The commander of the Yun Kingdom is not mediocre. Seeing that he can appease the army so quickly, we can know how strict he is in the army!"

"Oh, what a pity!"

"That's right, if there is only one person replaced, most of the Yun Kingdom's reinforcements will have to be lost today!"

King Qi is condescending, with a clear view of the situation below.Seeing that the Yunguo army reacted quickly, his eyelids twitched suddenly, and he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said anxiously:
"Where are the vanguard cavalry from Yunguo?"

When the confidantes heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, and they stammered slightly, saying:
"Ah, I sent scouts to follow, but there is no news yet!"

King Qi's eyes sharpened, and he said angrily:

"Why didn't Tan Ma come back, why didn't you report it? Damn it! Hurry up, put out the smoke of the wolf, and order all the ministries to retreat slowly!"

Seeing King Qi's frightened and angry expression, several people simultaneously had a terrible thought flashing through their minds.

I'm afraid it's not you and others who are in ambush, right?

"Hurry up!" King Qi roared.

Only then did everyone wake up like a dream, and rushed towards the mountain.

The billowing wolf smoke dissipated with the wind, causing the flag to fly, and ordered the army of the Xia Kingdom below to retreat.

Seeing this, Xia Guo's army that was still attacking suddenly slowed down, and then retreated one after another under the leadership of the generals.

Seeing Xia's army retreating, the Yunguo army's morale was immediately boosted.

Cheng Bushi was beside him, and immediately a general couldn't hold back, stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"General, Xia's army reacted very quickly, and it was difficult for the vanguard cavalry to return. Why don't the last general lead five thousand soldiers and horses and chase them down!"

Hearing the words, Cheng Buzhi showed a hint of emotion on his face, but then shook his head and refused:

"If there is no cavalry to charge and break through the formation, it is very likely that the Xia army will catch the opening and turn defeat into victory. You must not act rashly!"

Although the generals are eager to make contributions, but Cheng Buzhi's plan yesterday, which turned defeat into victory today, has already pleased the generals, so naturally he dare not disobey anyone.

"Yes!"

Not long after Xia Jun retreated, he felt the ground shaking on the official road.Three thousand cavalrymen from Yun Kingdom arrived long after.

On Gaoding Mountain, King Qi breathed a sigh of relief as he watched all Xia troops withdraw, and then said to the guards beside him:
"Go and find out, who is the commander-in-chief of Yunguo's reinforcements this time! Why has he never heard of someone with outstanding military strategy and such prudence!"

"Yes!"

The several generals who withdrew from the side also had lingering fears, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said:

"Marshal, what shall we do next? Should we fight or withdraw first?"

King Qi glanced at the Yunguo army again, shook his head and said:
"Can't fight, withdraw! Detour to Yongren County!"

"Marshal, why don't you go to Wulu Village?"

King Qi sneered and said:
"Since Commander Yunguo can guess this ambush, he must have a backup! If I were him, I would garrison soldiers and horses in Wulu Village, and charge out when I return to the army."

"The handsome and wise!"

Cheng Bushi climbed onto the temporary high platform, looked at the direction in which Xia Guo's army was retreating, sighed slightly, shook his head and said:
"It's a pity... Commander of the Xia Kingdom's army, don't underestimate him!"
-
Xiushan County.

The prosperous county town in the past is already stained with blood and dead bodies are everywhere.Li Chao's army screamed, brandished their weapons, and attacked the city of Xiushan County.

On the top of the city, sparse bows and arrows shot out.The beams of the people's homes were used as rolling logs, thrown from the city wall, and fell on the soldiers of the Li Dynasty below.

Li Chaotai Lieutenant Chen Feng's face turned red, his breath was rough, and he led his own soldiers to supervise the battle in person, looking like he was red-eyed.

A good surprise battle turned into a siege battle inexplicably.

This feeling of being out of control made Chen Feng inexplicably recall the previous battle of Yongzhou.

At that time, the Li Dynasty, which was originally only slightly weak, also became a big defeat for some reason!

"Taiwei, Taiwei! Take it easy for a while!" A close friend couldn't help admonishing.

But at this time, Chen Feng seemed to recall the feeling of powerlessness in Yongzhou back then, as if he had been possessed by a demon, his eyes were red, and he said angrily:

"Xiushan County is running out of weapons at this time, and we must take it all at once today! The first climber will be rewarded with five ranks of honorary officers and a thousand taels of gold. After the city is broken, the sword will not be sealed in the city for three days! Anyone who dares to take a step back will die. !"

Seeing this, his confidant trembled in his heart, and quickly bowed his head, not daring to say more.

With Chen Feng's promise, the soldiers of the Li Dynasty, who were depressed and perfunctory, suddenly got a boost of morale, roaring and crawling towards the top of the city.

All of a sudden, the city of Xiushan County was in jeopardy!
　The foreshadowing was useless before, and everyone scolded me for being poisonous.Then this time I wrote a good foreshadowing, and everyone felt watery again.

　　I'm too hard! ! !

　　Although I have written a book with a million words, the last one was intentionally used to practice my pen. It was basically a stand-alone machine, and no one gave me feedback. The rhythm is not good, so don't blame me.
