In a forest behind the mountain, Song Jingang was pacing anxiously. This was a trap he had set for the Tang army. Before Li Yuanji led his army, he had carefully inspected the nearby terrain. He cut off the water in the mountain stream,

Just to force

The Tang army moved to Jiehe. At the fourth watch last night, he took advantage of the fact that the Tang army outside the city was extremely tired and lax in defense. He led a large group of troops to climb down the city wall. He successfully avoided the enemy's eyes and secretly set up an ambush here.

To completely annihilate the Tang army.

A general came over in a hurry, clasped his fists and said: "To the King of Song, the Tang army has entered the valley, but..." Song Jingang's face showed joy, and when he heard the word "but", he frowned and said: "But what?"

?”

"However, there is a Tang army, about two thousand people, guarding the entrance of the valley and refusing to enter."

When Song Jingang heard this, his face showed surprise, and then he nodded and said: "There are experts in the Tang army." He thought for a moment and said sternly: "After launching the attack, if you personally lead three thousand soldiers and rush down the hills on both sides, you will definitely

We must seize the mouth of the valley and block the Tang army inside!"

"As ordered!" The general clasped his fists and turned around to leave.

The fourth brother led the army into the valley and walked along the official road. There were towering mountains on both sides. From time to time, you could see cliffs. They towered there, like knives and axes, showing the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. Perched on the rock

The old bird under the wall was frightened. It screamed "quack, quack, quack," and flapped its wings and flew over the heads of the soldiers...

The fourth brother was riding on his horse, proudly admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountains on both sides. Suddenly, he discovered that there were many soldiers on the mountain. He thought his eyes were dazzled, so he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and took a closer look. Yes, there were mountains and plains all over the place.

They are all soldiers wearing helmets and armor and holding crossbows.

"No! There's an ambush!" Fourth Brother shouted and rolled off his horse. As soon as he finished speaking, war drums sounded on the mountain, and a large number of rolling logs and rocks were thrown down, blocking the final entrance to the valley in front.

Narrow place. At the same time, arrows rained down like rain, and the soldiers beside Fourth Brother fell to the ground one after another.

The fourth brother was still clear-headed and quickly analyzed the battlefield situation. The exit of the valley had been blocked and it was impossible to rush out. The slopes on both sides were too steep, so it was not possible to attack them. The only option was to retreat. So,

He ordered the generals beside him to immediately command the army to withdraw from the valley.

The enemy troops were condescending, and arrows flew like locusts. The soldiers protected their bodies with shields, and the soldiers without shields were shot into hedgehogs. The fourth brother was blocked by the guards with shields above his head, and he kept shouting,

The soldiers were ordered to retreat quickly. In addition to shooting arrows, the enemy also threw down many rolling logs and stones. The soldiers who were hit screamed, and the wailing sound resounded throughout the valley...

At this moment, at the mouth of the valley behind, countless soldiers rushed down from the hillsides on both sides, intending to seize the mouth of the valley. The "Women's Army" formed two lines of defense to guard this lifeline. At first, the two sides shot arrows at each other, but soon they entered

There was a hand-to-hand fight. The sounds of slashing, cursing, and screams were intertwined, making it terrifying.

Song Jingang's soldiers had superior numbers and favorable geographical location, but they were still unable to break through the "Detachment of Women's Army" defense line. This was thanks to the third sister, who lent the most elite main force of the "Detachment of Women's Army" to Li Zhiyun. This team was battle-hardened for a long time.

, the combat effectiveness is very strong. Therefore, even though the opponent launched crazy attacks one after another, they were still unable to get past the enemy.

Li Zhiyun had already dismounted and stood next to the war horse. His position was right in the middle of the valley entrance, with soldiers fighting fiercely on both sides. The battle was extremely cruel and the situation was extremely critical. Although he was a prince, he was powerless.

force

, any enemy soldier can take his life. Fortunately, Zhang Zheng and Cai Hu are guarding him. They are strong and strong in martial arts. For ordinary enemy soldiers, there are nearly ten or eight of them.

If he can't escape, we can ensure that he is safe.

While Li Zhiyun was observing the thrilling battlefield, he was thinking in his mind: He must make the pistol as soon as possible, otherwise, if he encounters this situation, he will have no power to protect himself and will only become a burden to others.

The brutal hand-to-hand combat lasted for about a cup of tea, and soldiers ran out of the valley one after another. After they came out, they immediately joined the battle. With the addition of a large number of active forces, the defense lines on both sides were finally stabilized.

The fourth brother ran out with the last group of soldiers. As soon as he saw Li Zhiyun, he shouted: "Fifth brother, it's a good thing you didn't go in, otherwise, we brothers would have been here today!"

Li Zhiyun didn't say a word, but looked towards the hillsides on both sides. The enemy troops had already begun to retreat because they failed to capture the valley entrance.

In the battle of Hulukou, more than half of the more than 10,000 troops brought by the fourth brother were lost, and they were no longer able to fight anymore. After discussing with Li Zhiyun, he decided to lead the troops to withdraw to Jinyang.

After Li Zhiyun and his fourth brother returned to Jinyang with the remaining defeated soldiers, they reorganized their troops and prepared for Song Jingang's attack on Jinyang. However, after Song Jingang's victory, he did not pursue the victory and attack Jinyang. Because my father heard that Si

After his defeat, he sent an army led by General Jiang Baoyi of the Right Military Guard and Li Zhongwen, Chief of the Marching Army, to fight against Song Jingang.

Liu Wuzhou replenished some troops to Song Jinjiang. This time, Song Jinjiang did not stick to Jiexiu City, but took the initiative to attack. He left two thousand troops to guard Jiexiu, while he led the main force to fight against Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen.

In the land of Jinzhong in May, the sun is blazing and the flowers are fragrant. The wheat in the fields has begun to ear, and the breeze blows, rolling up layers of green waves. On the official road next to the wheat fields, a group of people walked slowly

An army. This army was so numerous that it dragged on for more than ten miles without ending.

At the front of the group, two generals wearing armor sit on two tall horses. The one on the left is stout, with dark skin and a beard. This person is General Jiang Baoyi of the Right Military Guard. The one on the right is slender.

With fair skin and a short beard, he is Li Zhongwen, the marching commander.

Jiang Baoyi was one of the generals who followed his father in Jinyang. It is said that he is the grandson of Jiang Wei, the famous Shu Han general in the Three Kingdoms period. I don’t know whether it is true or not. He was the main general in this expedition. As for the deputy general Li Zhongwen next to him, he was

You can talk about it nicely.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was a man named Li Mi. He was either rebelling or planning a rebellion. Li Mi became the leader of the Wagang Army and turned the Sui Dynasty upside down. In ancient times, rebellion was the first of the most heinous crimes.

, the nine tribes were to be exterminated. Li Mi was the leader of the rebels, so the Sui Dynasty officials naturally wanted to arrest his relatives.

Li Zhongwen was Li Mi's father-in-law (ancient scholars called his father's brother his father-in-law), so he would naturally be hunted down by the army. Li Zhongwen was born into a noble family, and his grandfather was Li Bi, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. He originally had great potential.

future, result

However, he was implicated by his unlucky nephew Li Mi and became a wanted criminal by the court. Unwilling to sit back and wait for death, Li Zhongwen spent all his wealth and recruited an army to protect himself. His team made a living by robbing homes and houses in the Guanzhong area, and they were quite successful.

Water rises.

Li Zhongwen was surrounded and suppressed by the Sui army, and He Panren, another bandit force, took care of each other. The two fought against the Sui army together and formed a friendship during the war. After his father raised troops in Jinyang, the third sister started a group in his hometown in Hu County.

A team of several hundred people was formed. She sent her slave Ma Sanbao to persuade He Panren and Ma Sanbao

With his sharp tongue, Sanbao persuaded He Panren to defect to the third sister. He Panren recommended his good friend Li Zhongwen to the third sister. The third sister sent Ma Sanbao to recruit Li Zhongwen, and Ma Sanbao encouraged his sharp tongue.

, persuaded Li Zhongwen, and Li Zhongwen led his troops to defect to the third sister.

Later, when Abba led the army to attack Chang'an City, Li Zhongwen and He Panren's troops worked very hard. After Abba ascended the throne, he was rewarded based on merit, and Li Zhongwen was appointed Taichang Shaoqing. This time, he was sent by Abba to fight with Jiang Baoyi

Attack Liu Wuzhou together.

At this moment, Jiang Baoyi was sitting on horseback, setting up a pergola with his hands and looking into the distance. He saw a stretch of rolling mountains in front of him, and asked: "General Li, where is the front?"

"This place is called Queshu Valley."

Queshu Valley? What else did Jiang Baoyi want to ask? Suddenly he saw a fast horse galloping towards him. When the horse came to him, the scout immediately reined in the reins, clasped his hands and said: "Inform the two generals, Song Jingang's army has entered Queshu Valley."

valley."

"I know," Li Zhongwen waved his hand, "I'll investigate again and report again."

"As ordered!" the scout said, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.

Li Zhongwen turned to Jiang Baoyi and said: "General Jiang, the terrain of Queshu Valley is complex, and Song Jingang is cunning and deceitful. We must be more careful."

Queshu Valley is a valley dozens of miles long. The official road extends forward in a zigzag manner in the valley, with towering mountains and peaks on both sides. After the army entered Queshu Valley, not long after, they saw a group of people arrayed in front of them.

The team, about five to six hundred people, was blocking the official road carelessly.

Jiang Baoyi snorted coldly, "Are these few people also want to pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth? Wait for me to rush forward and kill him without leaving a trace!" After he said that, without waiting for Li Zhongwen's reply, he picked up the big knife and

He rushed forward at the lead. The enemy troops on the opposite side collapsed at the first touch and turned around and ran away. Jiang Baoyi wanted to pursue him, but Li Zhongwen rushed up from behind and shouted: "General Jiang, don't chase the enemy when you are in trouble, be careful of being ambushed!"

After hearing this, Jiang Baoyi turned his horse's head and spat on the ground, "Well, it's easy for these idiots!" Li Zhongwen looked up at the sun that was already setting in the west and said, "The terrain here is quite open.

Let’s set up camp here, shall we?”

"All right."

After the army set up camp, piles of bonfires were lit in the barracks, and the soldiers gathered together and began to make pots of rice.

At night, the weak flame of a small oil lamp swayed, bringing a ray of light to the tent. Li Zhongwen was lying on a simple bed and had just fallen asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a noise outside the tent. He heard the clash of weapons.

With the neighing of the war horses, he quickly climbed up, put on his armor, picked up his weapons and rushed out of the tent. Not long after he ran, he met Jiang Baoyi who was riding over.

"General Jiang, what's going on?"

"It's okay. Song Jingang sent people to sneak attack the camp, but I have repelled them. You can go back and rest."

When Li Zhongwen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to the tent, disarmed and lay down. Not long after he closed his eyes, there was another noise outside, and he had to get up again. Like this, all night long
