The water of the river rolled eastward, making a dull roar like thunder. From a distance, the ferry on the south bank of the river had been forcibly demolished, and many wooden piles were used by waste, and camps were built in an open space south of the river bank.

This camp is relatively small, with five hundred soldiers from the Zheng army.

The wind whistled, Yang Yun stood on a stone in the distance, looked at the camp carefully, and then looked at the dark water surface in the north.

"The previous camp is closer to the bald eagle's camp. If it is attacked by a sneak attack, the bald eagle will soon come to support it. And this camp is far away! As long as you defeat this army in one go, the Tang army can break through the Yellow River and take down Yuanzhou!"

Yuanzhou was called Zhuyuan Pass in ancient times, and it was one of the eight passes of Luoyang. If Yuanzhou was captured, the Tang army could circle a semicircle and attack Luoyang from the east, surrounding Luoyang from all directions. It greatly affected the morale of the Luoyang army.

Yang Yun looked up at the sky. The moon was dark and the wind was high today, which was suitable for a surprise attack. I guess the Tang army was smuggling through tonight. He was patient, hid his body, and waited in place.

Wow! The river water is still roaring and roaring.

While waiting, Yang Yun touched the horizontal knife on his waist with his right hand. The knife was searched from several cavalrymen who died in the mountains and forests. The edge of the knife was polished and very sharp.

"In the battle formation, the lethality of the long stick is too small, so I can only rely on this horizontal sword!"

In fact, if Yang Yun could cultivate the iron shirt to the third level, possess the powerful force of a mangul, hold an iron stick weighing dozens of kilograms, and use the stick technique, he would be invincible.

But to this extent, even if you don’t use any moves and rely on your powerful strength to overcome thousands of troops, you can still break through the army.

I don't know how long I've been waiting.

It seemed that when the human body was most tired late at night, a trace of movement suddenly came from Yang Yun's ears. He moved his heart and immediately cheered up, looking towards the river in the distance...

The river is surging.

A young man stood on a small boat, holding the side of the boat with one hand, and also looked towards the river bank to the south. This young man was not old, but he was as handsome as he was, and his eyebrows were full of majesty.

"King of Qin! The so-called son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall. It is very dangerous to smuggle the Yellow River this time, so why do you have to lead your troops yourself?"

Next to this young man, there were four generals wearing strong suits with horizontal swords hanging around his waist. One of them had long cheeks, tall eyebrows, and his arrogance could not be concealed.

However, no matter how arrogant he was, he did not dare to be neglected in front of this young man. When he spoke, he couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face.

This general is Wang Junkuo, the left guard general of the Tang Dynasty. The heroic young man in front of him is Li Shimin, the King of Qin.

At present, in addition to Li Shimin and Wang Jungua, there are three generals on this ship, Duan Zhixuan, Zhai Changsun and Cheng Zhijie.

Among them, Cheng Zhijie was Cheng Yaojin, who was very famous in later generations. Not Cheng Zhijie was his real name. Cheng Yaojin was his name changed when he joined Wagang's rebellion. Just like Wang Junkuo changed his name to Wang Junke, it was all about avoiding his family being implicated by himself during rebellion.

"Brother Wang is right! King Qin, you are the commander of the army. How can you do such a jump-start charge in disregarding the overall situation? If you encounter any danger after crossing the river, then our 100,000 troops will be completely finished!"

Cheng Zhijie was generous in character, and at this time he frowned and followed Wang Junkuo and persuaded him again.

This time, the Tang army sent troops to attack Luoyang, and a total of 100,000 troops were launched. King Qin Li Shimin was the commander of this army. If the commander had an accident, Wang Shichong could defeat the Tang army without any effort.

Li Shimin can be said to be in charge of the safety of a 100,000 army. Cheng Zhijie really couldn't imagine the unexpected consequences of the King of Qin.

Although Duan Zhixuan and Zhai Changsun did not speak, they all agreed with each other and deeply agreed with what Wang Junkuo and Cheng Zhijie said.

Li Shimin smiled. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he has defeated Xue Ju in Qianshuiwon, defeated Song Jingang in the Battle of Baibi, and Liu Wuzhou. Every time he turned the tide in the turmoil of the Tang Dynasty. I don’t know how many times he experienced in the battles between the two major and small, and he has long been a general and commander who has experienced many battles.

A few months ago, he led his army eastward for the first time to contact Wang Shichong's army, personally led the elite Xuanjia charge, defeated the Luoyang army in one fell swoop, captured the Zheng army's cavalry general Ge Yanzhang, and defeated Wang Shichong, who fled back to Luoyang in a panic.

Not long ago, the Tang army fought against the Zheng army again. Li Shimin asked the general Qu Tutong to resist head-on, and he led dozens of cavalry to charge, breaking through the layers of Zheng army battle formations and reaching the city of Luoyang.

Then he turned around and drilled through the battle formation again. He killed two consecutive times, and regarded the army under Wang Shichong as nothing. It can be seen that he not only had the top ability to command the army, but also had the courage to charge in person.

Now he personally led the elite troops to smuggle across the Yellow River. In Li Shimin's previous actions, he was just a pediatric department.

"Mr. I know the truth. I understand what you said. But now Wang Shichong resists stubbornly. The walls of Luoyang are thick and it is really hard to capture them in a hurry!"

"And Dou Jiande led more than 200,000 troops south. Once the Xia army and the Zheng army merge, it will be difficult for our army to resist. So before the Xia army arrives, our army must first capture Yuanzhou, then capture Chenggao, and use Hulao Pass to block the throat of the Xia army's advance westward!"

Li Shimin no longer concealed it at this time and expressed his strategy.

Yuanzhou is the important gate of the eastern pass of Luoyang, and further east is Xingyang, which was called Hulao Pass in ancient times. If Hulao Pass was occupied by the Xia army, the Tang army would be at a strategic disadvantage. It would be difficult to defeat Dou Jiande.

Yuanzhou is located between Luoyang and Xingyang. If this nail is not pulled out, the Tang army will not be able to march with peace of mind. A small Yuanzhou is at this time related to the success or failure of the entire war.

Therefore, in order to grasp the situation, Li Shimin personally led the elite troops to raid at night.

"Besides, it is easy to defeat only 500 Zheng army infantry with the courage of the four generals. As long as we break through the ferry camp, our elite troops will continue to cross the river. How could I encounter danger?"

Li Shimin had a faint smile on his face, but he did not change his decision at all.

Wang Junkuo, Cheng Zhijie, Zhai Changsun, Duan Zhixuan could only look at each other and smile bitterly. After the King of Qin made a decision, no one could shake his mind. What's more, it was already close to the south bank of the Yellow River at this time, so it would be useless to say anything else.

"Report to King Qin! The ferry is about to dock!"

A captain on the ship came over and reported respectfully at this time.

When the four generals heard this, they quickly looked forward and could vaguely see the flames of Zheng Jun camp ahead. As for the dark surroundings of the camp, no matter how good the eyesight is, they cannot see the specific situation clearly.

"Everyone, prepare to get off the boat and raid the Zhengjun camp!"

Li Shimin issued a military order in a deep voice. Wang Junkuo, Cheng Zhijie and others took the orders one after another. With a rustling sound, the four generals began to put several layers of leather armor on their bodies.
Chapter completed!
