"Command the army! The elite troops under Liu Heitai's command have not suffered any losses. If we forcefully attack the camp from both sides, we will probably suffer heavy losses!"
The captain of Zuo Santong Military Mansion said hurriedly.
The captain of Zuo Santong Military Mansion had previously served under Liu Heitai, and he had some understanding of the strength of Liu Heitai's troops.

The Liu troops they had just forced to surrender were not strong in combat effectiveness and had average fighting spirit. They were obviously not elite soldiers under Liu Heitai's command.
In other words, from the time they left Weize Pass until now, they have not fought against the elite soldiers under Liu Heitai's command.
Liu Heita's elite soldiers did not suffer any damage.
If Liu Heita's elite troops were still intact and the camp was attacked from both wings, and the troops were divided into two groups, it would be easy to cause serious damage.
If it weren't for the help of a group of soldiers, the captain of Zuo Santong Army would not have said this.
Now that there is a group of surrendered soldiers to help, they can force them to fight with Liu Heitai, wear down Liu Heitai's elite soldiers, and reduce their damage.
Su Dingfang heard the thoughts of the captain of the Zuo Santong Army and glanced at the soldiers who were approaching Liu Heitai's temporary camp obediently.
"Do you think they can really count on it?"
There is no hand-to-hand combat yet, and the war has not yet reached its most brutal stage. Although the soldiers are injured, it is not to the point where they have completely lost their fighting spirit, so they still dare to move forward.
Once the battle damage reaches the bottom line that they can bear, or there will be heavy casualties after close combat.
Then the soldiers will definitely be afraid of fighting and will definitely run away.
The captain of Zuo Santong Military Mansion opened his mouth, but in the end he had no words and just nodded heavily.
Su Dingfang held the horse in his hand, looked at Liu Heitai's temporary camp, and said quietly: "Liu Heitai, remember, I am Jizhou Xiaoyong, Su Dingfang!"
In the past, Su Dingfang accompanied Gao Yaxian to seek refuge with Liu Heitai. During the dinner, Liu Heitai admired Gao Yaxian very much but paid no attention to him.
Gao Yaxian recommended him to Liu Heitai, saying that he could take on important responsibilities.
Liu Heitai just said with a smile, "The adopted son of Duke Gao must be extraordinary," and then there was nothing more to say.
Liu Heitai's great admiration for Gao Yaxian is a show of hypocrisy.
I don't care about him, I don't care about him, but I really care about him.
Today he wants to tell Liu Heita that his name is Su Dingfang and he is from Wuyi, Jizhou!
"School 21 on the left, School 2 on the left, follow me to break the camp from the left and right wings!"
Su Dingfang tightened the reins of his horse and shouted loudly.
The officers and soldiers of the Ertong Army Mansion on the left looked stern.
Su Dingfang mentioned breaking the camp, which means that this battle has reached the most critical moment.
"kill!"
Su Dingfang took the lead and rushed out first.
A group of soldiers from the Second Army Command on the left rushed out without any hesitation.
Although Su Dingfang was only their temporary commander, Su Dingfang won their recognition in the battle of Mingshui City.
During the Battle of Mingshui City, although Qu Tutong and Luo Shixin were there, Qu Tutong had been coordinating the overall situation. Luo Shixin led a team of elite soldiers to check for leaks and fill the gaps. If the soldiers there could not stand it any longer, Luo Shixin would lead them.
People appear there.
Only Su Dingfang stayed with them the whole time and led them to fight with the enemy.
At first, when the soldiers were still able to suppress the attack of Liu Heitai's army, Su Dingfang just directed his men to fight while recovering from his injuries.
When the soldiers could not suppress the attack of Liu Heitao's army, Su Dingfang decisively gave up recuperating and led his men to fight with Liu Heitao's army.
At the critical moment of the fight, Su Dingfang's wound opened, blood leaked out, and his clothes were soaked through, but he was still at the front.
The soldiers obeyed him.
So until the end of the battle, even the brothers under other brigade commanders were willing to listen to his orders.
Now that Su Dingfang is taking the lead in the charge, they have nothing to hesitate.
"How dare you attack the camp?! Set fire to me!"
Liu Heita understood Su Dingfang's intention after seeing Su Dingfang leading the cavalry to fight out from behind a military formation composed of traitors.
Liu Heitai wanted to lure the Tang army in Weize Pass to raid him. He also knew how many men he could use. In order to prevent the Tang army from using too many troops and horses, which he could not handle, he made a lot of preparations.
In addition to setting up a lot of ambushes outside the camp, he also made a lot of preparations inside the camp.
"Here!"
Fan Yuan happily agreed and sent people to set the fire.
Two walls of fire quickly ignited on both sides of the temporary camp.
As if Su Dingfang didn't see the two walls of fire, he continued to charge on his horse.
He yelled something while rushing.
"Blindfolded!"
"Let those who fail to achieve anything but fail to do so wait behind the wall of fire. If they dare to break in, they will be greeted to death with a spear!"
Liu Heitai saw that Su Dingfang didn't care about the fire wall and had a tendency to force his way through, so he snorted another order.
Fan Yuan sent someone to deliver the message again.
Those Liu troops who retreated from both sides of the mountain forest were sent behind the wooden gate a few feet away from the fire wall, holding their spears and shields, waiting quietly for Su Dingfang and his party.
It's the kind of thing made of sharp wood when a checkpoint is set up at the city gate when the enemy is on the road.
Unfortunately, although there were constant intervals between the two orders issued by Liu Heitai, Liu Jun still failed to form an effective defense before Su Dingfang stormed the temporary camp.
When the cavalry charges, once the momentum is established, the speed is quite fast. It may take a few breaths or a few blinks before they can rush in front of you.
The fences on both sides of the temporary camp were easily broken open by the cavalry.
The deterrent effect of the wall of fire behind the fence was greatly weakened the moment Su Dingfang ordered the horse to be blindfolded.
Although the fire was fierce, Su Dingfang and his party still passed by on horseback.
Only those wooden doors hindered Su Dingfang and his party, and also greatly reduced the impact of Su Dingfang and his party.
But Su Dingfang also has a way to deal with it.
He decisively abandoned several war horses, used the flesh and blood of the war horses to break open the wooden door, and entered Liu Heitai's temporary camp.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Heitai watched helplessly as the two barriers he set were easily broken through by Su Dingfang and his men, and he was so shocked that he was speechless.
Fan Yuan was screaming.
"Your Majesty! The camp is broken!"
Liu Heitai shouted, "Who is he?!"
Fan Yuan replied hurriedly, "Gao Yaxian's adopted son and general, Su Dingfang!"
Liu Heita couldn't believe it, "He is Su Dingfang?!"
He had long forgotten that there was such a person under Gao Yaxian's command.
He never planned to reuse Gao Yaxian from the beginning to the end, so he didn't care about the people around Gao Yaxian.
The reason why he took Gao Yaxian in was because most of the people around him were from Dou Jiande's old army. Gao Yaxian and his people took the initiative to surrender, and he couldn't refuse.
The second reason is that he wants to show everyone that he has the ambition to recruit talents. As long as others come to join him, he will treat them with courtesy.
Otherwise, he would not be able to keep a person like Gao Yaxian who could threaten his position by his side.
He feels a little regretful now.
I regret not getting rid of Gao Yaxian earlier, not getting rid of Gao Yaxian and the people around Gao Yaxian earlier.
Now the people around Gao Yaxian have broken through his camp and are massacring his few soldiers and horses in his camp.
As for regretting not using Gao Yaxian and the people under Gao Yaxian's command, he would not even think about it.
Because a person who can threaten his status, no matter how powerful he is or how brave his subordinates are, he will not reuse him.
Let alone him, no one in power will re-appoint someone who threatens him when his position at the bottom is not secure.
Even if this person never showed any intention of coveting his position from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty! Retreat!"
Fan Yuan saw that Su Dingfang easily opened their temporary camp, and knew that the defeat was certain, and quickly called Liu Heitai to leave.
Liu Heitao gritted his teeth and quickly got off the lookout with a gloomy face.
Surrounded by a group of guards, he retreated to the back camp.
There was an escape route they had prepared in advance.
Once you get on your horse, you can retreat into the Taihang Mountains in half an hour.
"I was clearly well prepared, why did I let the thieves break into the camp so easily?"
Liu Heitai asked angrily while retreating.
Fan Yuan and the others who gathered around Liu Heita were speechless.
Some of them know why, and some don't.
Those who know know it very well.
Liu Heitai had limited troops and only a few elite soldiers. Most of the troops were scrapped together from here and there. Therefore, to lure the Tang army to take the initiative, he had to ambush him to win.
In a head-on battle with the Tang army, they don't have the strength.
The soldiers under their command also don't have the fighting spirit.
The moment the ambush was discovered, they should retreat in time and retreat several miles away.
But Liu Heitai still insisted on staying and wanted to fight the Tang army. The final result was that the camp was penetrated.
To attack the strong with the weak, the most important thing is the word "odd".
Unexpectedly, a surprise attack was made.
Once you lose the word "odd", you can only attack the wall with weak strength depending on the fighting spirit of your soldiers.
Not only did Liu Heitai lose his "Qi", but his Qi soldiers were also used by others, which definitely lowered his chances of winning.
Liu Heitai led a group of remnants and defeated generals, hiding all the way from Mingzhou to Weize Pass. How much fighting spirit do you expect them to have?
When Liu Heitai used troops, he was reluctant to use them. He always used the bandits and stragglers gathered on the road as the main force.
Looking at the posture of the Tang army, they are all elite soldiers, and it is reasonable to think that they can penetrate the camp.
If you can't penetrate it, it doesn't mean you are strong, it just means the opponent is too weak.
How to fight a war and whether it can be won or not, powerful weapons and careful layout are only part of the key. The more important thing is to look at the people.
Humans are not good enough. Three people can chase you and beat you a hundred times. After the beating, they will scold you, "You actually didn't surrender and you dared to resist."
Now, three people can chase and beat a hundred people. After the fight, they have to scold each other, "You dare not surrender, but you dare to resist. I'm going to get beaten."
Therefore, Liu Heitai did not lose in the ordnance, nor did he lose in the layout.
He lost because the soldiers under his command had no fighting spirit, and he was reluctant to use his elite troops to charge into battle.
