Luo Bingqian led thousands of troops to provoke on the north bank of the Huaishui for five days, and the Sui army on the other side remained silent, and even the Sui warships on the Huaihe River tried to move on the south side, and the Sui army remained silent in the face of the archery provocation and vicious insults of the thief army.

At dusk, at the head of Shanyang County, Wei Chigong looked at a newly built wooden sentry tower on the north bank of Huaishui as in the past, and there was a faint white flag shaking on the sentry tower, although he couldn't see the handwriting on the white flag, but Wei Chigong could still guess what was written on the white flag.

"Son of a bitch!" Wei Chigong scolded in a low voice, it was almost dark, and the other party was still provoking.

A partial general next to him couldn't help but say: "General, I don't understand why the commander let the thief army provoke, this will affect morale, can't you defeat them in one fell swoop and then go south?" ”

"Shut up!"

Wei Chigong turned around and reprimanded angrily: "The commander's decision is that you, a lowly and low-ranking official, can discuss it in vain, and then dare to talk nonsense, beware of me using military law to behead you!" ”

The partial general lowered his head in fright, not daring to say more, although Wei Chigong was also confused by Zhang Xuan's decision, he would not allow his subordinates to be dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan no matter what, let alone himself.

Wei Chigong knew very well in his heart that for this decision, Zhang Xuan had thought about it for a whole day and a night, which could be described as thoughtful, he was only dissatisfied with the provocation of the thief army, but he could not see through Zhang Xuan's more far-reaching intentions.

At this moment, a soldier behind him shouted: "General Wei Chi, the commander has an order!" ”

Wei Chigong also saw an eagle circling down, this is a letter eagle, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the city, as soon as he walked to the city, the eagle training soldiers ran head-on, "General, the commander is urgent!" ”

A small roll of cloth is encased in a red letter tube. This means an urgent order, Wei Chigong hurriedly took out the cloth from the letter tube, slowly unfolded it, and small handwriting appeared in front of him, Yu Chigong read it twice repeatedly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Jang Hyun finally agrees with them to attack the arrogant thief army on the north shore.

Although Wei Chigong didn't know why Zhang Xuan would agree to them to attack the bandit army on the north bank, one thing was certain, Zhang Xuan must have finished his southward mission and began to return to the Huai River.

"Pass my orders, and the army will assemble at once!"

Wei Chigong's order came out quickly, and the three thousand soldiers were all gearing up, and everyone was holding their breath in their hearts, and they were waiting for today.

The army quickly assembled. After night fell quietly, thirty warships left the wharf of Shanyang County and headed for the north bank of the Huai River

Luo Bingqian's 4,000 troops were stationed in a wilderness about five miles across the other side of Shanyang County, and ten consecutive days of senseless provocations exhausted both Luo Bingqian and his army.

If he had followed his original intention, he would have withdrawn his troops to Suyu County a long time ago, but Meng Haigong's two successive orders made him have to continue to provoke the Sui army on the north bank of the Huai River, and he has already sent five hundred soldiers to the Huai River every day to insult and provoke the Sui army. As for the initial desire to fight, it has gradually cooled.

Night has fallen. The thieves were busy eating dinner in the camp, it was already late autumn, and the night was getting dark, and the night had already fallen when the soldiers gathered for dinner.

Luo Bingqian sat alone in the big tent and drank, but he was thinking that he had to find a woman to sleep with him at night, and the Sui army refused to fight. This kind of boring life also made him feel bored, there were several women in his family, but they all lived in Pengcheng County, and they couldn't get over for a while, and the water couldn't quench their thirst.

Luo Bingqian drank all the wine in the cup. He can send someone to Huaiyang County to find a few fans to accompany him.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the camp, it seemed that there was a commotion among the soldiers, Luo Bingqian couldn't help but be stunned, what was going on?

He slowly stood up and wanted to go out of the tent to take a look, but the curtain suddenly opened, and a personal soldier rushed in in horror, "General, the southeast corner of the camp is burning"

"Let them cook carefully!" Luo Bingqian said angrily.

"It's not! General, there are a lot of rockets fired into the battalion. ”

"What!"

Luo Bingqian overthrew his own soldiers and ran outside, and as soon as he came out of the tent, he heard shouts of killing from the south of the camp, and a general stumbled over, "General, the Sui army has broken through the south gate!" ”

Luo Bingqian was stunned for a moment.

The south gate of the camp has been broken by the Sui army, the soldiers of the Sui army are like a tide into the camp of the thief army, Wei Chi Gong took the lead, the roar was like thunder, the big iron gun flew up and down, the corpses were all over the place, the gun was killed, not only Wei Chi Gong, all the Sui soldiers and soldiers were full of anger for many days at this moment, the Sui army was like a tiger in the mountains, it was unstoppable, and the thieves were killed on their backs, the cry shook the sky, and more than a thousand resisting thieves and soldiers were defeated and retreated.

"Kill these shitty shits for me!"

Wei Chigong yelled, "Lao Tzu does not accept anyone's surrender. ”

At this time, the thief Luo Bingqian urged the horse to kill from the oblique stab, he, like Wei Chigong, also made a big iron spear, he had already seen that the morale of his army was about to collapse, only to kill this Sui army general, maybe they still have a chance to live.

"The enemy will die!"

Luo Bingqian rushed like a gust of wind, and stabbed Wei Chigong in the throat with a shot, he was born as a bandit, martial arts were brave, a big iron gun killed people like hemp, and he was famous in Xuzhou, and ordinary generals were not his opponents.

How did he meet Yu Chigong, the top 20 fierce generals on the world's hero list, his marksmanship is Professor Zhang Xutuo's overlord gun, and the marksmanship also integrates a little Zhang Xuan's halberd method, which is more fierce and invincible, and the gun weighs 100 catties, which is twice as heavy as Luo Bingqian's iron gun.

Wei Chigong sneered, he didn't hurry to shoot back, the tip of the gun was like a bolt of lightning, the latter came first, and it stabbed in front of Luo Bingqian's eyes in an instant.

Luo Bingqian was taken aback, he didn't expect the other party's gun to come so quickly, if he didn't resist, he would inevitably die under the other party's gun first, helpless, Luo Bingqian yelled, "Open!" The spear was sideways, and he struggled to stand outward.

Just listen to 'Click!' With a muffled sound, the other party's spear was not opened, it was heavy like a mountain on the barrel of his gun, the sharp tip of the spear made his skin tingle, Luo Bingqian was frightened, but he didn't wait for him to have any other thoughts, just listened to the sound of 'poof-', blood burst out, Luo Bingqian's neck was in sharp pain, and then his eyes turned black, and he didn't know anything.

Wei Chigong's big iron spear pierced the neck of the enemy's commander-in-chief, and the tip of the spear turned and picked, and the head flew up

Luo Bingqian's death became the last straw that crushed the thief army, the thief army that was still resisting suddenly collapsed, they rushed to flee for their lives, the Sui army pursued mercilessly behind, even if they knelt and surrendered, they would be ruthlessly assassinated by the Sui army's spear, and the Sui soldiers who had been aggrieved for ten days hated these thief soldiers who had recklessly humiliated them.

In this battle, more than 3,800 people were killed by the 4,000 thieves, and only more than 100 escaped, and the main general Luo Bingqian also died under the iron spear of Wei Chigong.

At the same time that Wei Chi Gong led the army to counterattack the north bank thief army, Zhang Xuan's army had already killed Suyu County, which is the reason why Zhang Xuan had strictly ordered Wei Chi Gong not to fight with the north bank thief army, and could not break the balance of Xia Pi County.

As long as the Sui army in Shanyang County does not fight back against the provocation on the north bank, Meng Haigong will think that Zhang Xuan is contained by Du Fuwei and will not attack north for a while and a half, he will concentrate his forces to confront Yang Yichen, and Xiapi County and Donghai County will become a relatively safe rear, so to a certain extent, the thousands of thief troops on the north bank of the Huai River are the weather vane of whether Zhang Xuan will attack north.

Suyu County is also the county of Xiapi County, at present there are only 1,000 thieves guarding the town, and the guard is Luo Bingqian's general Ma Xu, he was originally guarding Huaiyang County, but Luo Bingqian was worried that Suyu County would be lost, so he ordered him to lead the army north to guard Suyu County.

At the fourth watch, the sky has not yet dawned, the heavy night shrouds the county seat of Suyu, the guard general Ma Xu stood on the head of the city and stared at the south, his heart was really uneasy, according to his agreement with Luo Bingqian, every morning and evening will receive Luo Bingqian's safe pigeon letter from the north bank of the Huai River, and then he will send the news of safety to Pengcheng County, every day for ten days has not stopped.

But it should be that the peace letter sent last night has not yet arrived, which makes Ma Xu's heart hang.

"General Ma, maybe the carrier pigeon can't fly at night, or it just meets an eagle." One of his subordinates whispered to Ma Xu.

Ma Xu shook his head, "Impossible, all carrier pigeons are strictly trained, there is no problem in flying at night, and it is impossible to send three carrier pigeons at a time, and it is impossible to meet eagles." ”

In fact, Ma Xu had already vaguely guessed the answer, it must have been Luo Bingqian's accident, and only in this way did the carrier pigeon not be sent.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and I heard someone shouting under the city: "Open the city gate quickly, I have an urgent military situation to report to General Ma!" ”

"I just, what emergency military situation?"

The spies under the city shouted: "General, the main force of the Sui army has been killed, at least more than 10,000 people, and they have been killed ten miles away. ”

"Ahh

Ma Xu was stunned, and the sergeants next to him were so frightened that they hurriedly shouted: "General, what should I do?" ”

At this moment, Ma Xu couldn't care about Luo Bingqian's strict order to defend Suyu County, he only had a thousand people, how could he defend the city, he shouted urgently: "Pass my order, retreat immediately!" (To be continued.) )
