Li Jing led his troops into the north gate, but there was no trace of 5,000 Tibetan soldiers, and as soon as these Tibetan soldiers entered the city, they began to scatter and plunder everywhere. Li Jing secretly scolded on the horse, and the barbarian dog couldn't change his, so he had no choice but to ignore them. The soldiers and horses went straight to the inner city to kill, and the streets were extremely quiet on the way, so many soldiers and horses entered the city, but there was no sound response, the houses were closed, the shops were closed, and even the sound of dogs barking could not be heard.

Suddenly feeling bad, Li Liang behind him also hurriedly reminded: "Lord, I'm afraid that there is an ambush here!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a bangbang in front of him, and the drums and horns sounded in unison. Suddenly, countless human heads appeared on the rooftops on both sides of the street, countless torches were lit, shouting to kill the heavens, and rockets rained down like meteors. In the alley on the left, Pei You personally led an army to kill, Wang Gai on the right also led an army to kill, and the city lord Wang Pu personally killed him. Attack on all three sides and cover up.

Seeing this situation, Li Jing knew that he had underestimated Duli Town. Pei You's deception was right to lure the enemy, but they actually expected that the Shamen Town Army would not really attack from the east gate, but calculated that they would come to the north gate, and had already set up a heavy army to ambush here. I was going to do it, but I didn't expect the plan of Duli Town. These people were in a good ambush, and they all let go of the previous 5,000 Tibetan troops, just waiting for Li Jing's Shamen army to arrive.

"Retreat!" Although the Shamen army is elite, it is too much to fight this important ambush battle, and the other party completely occupies the geographical advantage. There is no advantage in street fighting. Li Jing is very decisive. Unwilling to fight with the Duli Town Army here.

Li Jing led the army to retreat. Although the Shamen town army retreated, it was covered by shield soldiers and large shields on all sides, crossbowmen fought back in the formation, and cavalry was supported by two wings. Duli Town was also not pleasing for a while, and then retreated to the north gate. Li Jing still wants to stick to the north gate, as long as he guards the north gate and eases up for a while, he can still fight again.

Unexpectedly, he just retreated to the north gate. Flames erupted everywhere, countless strong bows and crossbows were hit, and many cannon throwing cart attacks, and even flying fire canisters. At this time, the 5,000 soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and fled like rats. These soldiers didn't care about the array laid by Li Jing, and directly broke into the formation, eager to get out of the city. The array that Li Jing had finally laid down was broken by them. At this time, Wang Pu Peiyou's soldiers and horses were killed, and Li Jing gritted his teeth and simply ordered to withdraw from the north gate.

The two armies slaughtered at the gates of the city. From inside the city to outside the city, in chaos. Wang Gai led hundreds of elite horsemen to kill from the flanks not far from Li Jing. Li Jing shot a bow and arrow on a horse, one arrow and one person, and all of them fell off their horses. The cavalry of Duli Town was terrified, and no one could approach it. Wang Gai hid behind a cavalry horse, and attacked Li Jing with a crossbow, and the crossbow arrow hit Li Jing's chest at a distance of sixty paces, shooting him directly off the horse.

"Li Jing was killed by an arrow!" Wang Gai yelled excitedly!

"Li Jing is dead!" Countless soldiers in Duli Town shouted in unison, and the momentum shook the sky. Wang Gai led his subordinates to rush forward, wanting to snatch Li Jing. At this time, Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian rode their horses left and right, and rescued Li Jing who fell to the ground and left. The two sides fought until dawn, and then they ceased their respective troops.

The coalition troops retreated to the camp and held the wall, and the morale of the soldiers in the village was a little low. Everyone knows that Li Jing was hit by an arrow and fell last night, and although he was rescued, he was unconscious.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the village, Li Jing had a thick gauze wrapped around his chest, and there were faint blood stains showing through. He sat on the top, looked at the demoralized generals, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's really careless to underestimate the enemy, and I underestimated this group of horsemen in Duli Town." This revenge must be returned. ”

The loss in this battle was not small, Li Juli led 3,000 daring battalions into the city, but the east gate collapsed and trapped in the city. Although Wang Pu led the main force to ambush the north gate, but the east gate also ambushed a lot of soldiers, plus the three thousand soldiers and horses were all just people, and by the time Li Juren's brother Qingtong the east gate entered the response, Li Juli had been killed in battle. The Li Juren brothers rushed to kill, and it was easy to pick up the remnants of more than 1,000 soldiers. When he came back, Li Juren personally led the soldiers and horses to the rear of the palace, but was hit in the crotch of the war horse by a stone, lost the war horse, and was stabbed in the abdomen by a gun from the pursuers. Li Juyi led his troops to desperately rescue him, but at that time, his intestines were all flowing out, bleeding countless times, and he has not yet woken up.

The 3,000 daring battalion lost two-thirds, and Li Juren lost hundreds of men and horses in response. And the situation on Li Jing's side is not very good, 5,000 soldiers rushed into the city to ransack, but when the ambush was exhausted, they did not come to assemble in a hurry, and finally desperately escaped from the city, but they were also ambushed all over the streets, with nearly 1,000 casualties. The situation on the side of the Shamen Town Army was slightly better, except for Li Jing, who was accidentally injured by a crossbow arrow, Shamen Town only lost more than 300 men and horses.

The crossbow that hit Li Jing was very strong, but fortunately, Li Jing was also wearing double armor, the outer mountain armor was the most anti-arrow, and the inside was also wearing a layer of inner armor. In addition, Li Jing heard the wind at that time, although he couldn't dodge it, but when he was critical, he could lift the cloak. With these layers of protection, although the crossbow arrow penetrated the cloak, mountain armor and inner armor into the chest, it did not penetrate deeply. It's just that the force was too strong at that time, and he directly shot Li Jing off the horse, and his head was slightly concussion, and he fainted. woke up halfway through, but Li Jing never let people announce the news.

Zhang Hong whispered: "The walls of Duli Town are thick, if you can't outwit it, then you must not attack it." Fortunately, it was only a small defeat today, and the general was fine, so I think it is better to suspend the army for the time being. ”

Li Jing asked the generals, "What do you mean?" ”

Lin Wu also had the intention of retreating, "Storming is not what we are good at, my idea is that it is better to besiege and cut off the sea and land trade routes in the town of Duli, so that it will be a knife on their necks, and after a long time, it will be self-defeating." If they dare to go out of the city to fight, then they are not afraid, but field battles are our strength. ”

The other generals also agreed with Lin Wu, and Li Jing looked at Li Liang: "Why didn't the military advisor say anything?" ”

Li Liang sighed: "Yesterday's defeat, the blame lies with me, I am too eager for quick success, and there are some Meng Lang." However, I don't think it's the time to retreat, and if I retreat in defeat, then I won't have any momentum, and this attempt to send troops will be a failure. I think it's better to wait, maybe then there will be a chance. ”

"Don't wait, now I have a way to break the enemy!" Li Jing said with a smile: "Today, the enemy has seen that I was hit by an arrow and fell from my horse, and it is rumored that the generals can arrange people to be in the camp." He falsely said that my arrow hurt my heart. After being rescued, he died. Let the army raise a white flag. Prepare for the withdrawal of troops. When Duli Town heard the news, he would definitely not let it go easily, and he would lead troops to attack. Tonight, I will first deploy troops outside the fortress, leaving only an empty village to wait for it to attack, and then attack in all directions, but I can defeat the Duli town army. ”

Li Liang clapped his hands and said: "What the lord said is really good, and Wang Pu of Guandu Zhenzhen is a tough person. Now is the opportunity. Don't miss it. We just happened to return them with an ambush battle, and avenged the ambush. ”

Everyone also praised one after another, so the news spread from the battalions that day that Li Jing had been killed by an arrow. Let the sergeants of the battalions raise the white flag, wear linen and filial piety, and prepare to withdraw the troops. This news has already been reported back to Duli Town, and everyone in Duli Town can't help but celebrate when they hear that Li Jing was hit by an arrow and died in the village. Cheer out loud. Wang Gai killed Li Jing because of an arrow, which was the first credit. It was praised by everyone. Even Pei You was praised by everyone for his meritorious work.

Wang Gai said with a proud face: "Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life." Since Li Jing is dead, the Shamen Town Army is just a plate of scattered shaer. Now that the morale of the enemy is weak, it is time to send troops to defeat them in one fell swoop. Tonight I am willing to lead my troops out of the city and attack the enemy camp at night. ”

At this time, the representatives of the other families completely forgot their previous fear of Li Jing, and cried and shouted that they wanted to buy Li Jing's withdrawal of troops with money, and then they praised Wang Gai's bravery, and everyone unanimously agreed that Wang Gai sent troops to attack the camp.

Pei You shook his head and said: "General Wang must not underestimate the enemy, even if Li Jing is dead, he must guard against the victory of the mourning soldiers." What's more, our ambush of Li Jing in this battle was only a small victory, and we destroyed more than 3,000 enemies last night, but we also suffered more than 2,000 casualties. Now there are no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there are still insufficient to defend the city, so how can it be easy to fight. In my opinion, we should take advantage of the new victory and take the initiative to negotiate with Li Jing. ”

Zheng Jiezhi asked puzzledly: "Previously, Li Thief was powerful, and everyone proposed to negotiate peace, but you insisted on fighting. Now that you have won a new victory, why did you propose peace instead? ”

"One time, another." Pei You said: "Previously, Li Thief was powerful, if we took the initiative to propose peace, we would definitely be slaughtered by the other party, and it would be difficult to get real peace." And now that we have won a new victory, Li Thief has lost a new defeat, and Li Jing has been killed, and then we propose peace at this time, we have the initiative to take the initiative, and the situation is under our control. ”

City Lord Wang Pu also nodded: "What General Pei San said is very true, I also agree with the peace, at the moment we are also in a lose-lose situation, and if we continue to fight, even if we can defeat Shuangli, we have to prevent others from sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, wanting to benefit the fisherman." It is better to stop the army and negotiate peace, and it can also restore its vitality. Recruit troops again, build warships, and when the strength is restored, what is there to fear when you deal with Shamen Town and Qingnipu without Li Jing? ”

However, Wang Pu and Pei You obviously underestimated the representatives of the families at this time, and now that these people heard that Li Jing was dead, they all raised their eyebrows in anger, and raised their heads again. They all insisted that they would take this opportunity to destroy the coalition army, just like they had destroyed Li Lingfu and his coalition army last time. It's best to take the opportunity to occupy Qingnipu in one fell swoop.

After the last, everyone directly asked for a vote, and the vast majority of votes decided to send troops, Wang Pu and Pei You could only sigh helplessly. However, now that the resolution has been decided, the two did not slack off passively. Instead, he began to prepare for the attack with all his heart.

After the end, everyone agreed that Wang Gai, who killed Li Jing, would be the main general, and Pei You, who had defeated Li Jing with a plan, would be the deputy general, and 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry troops would be selected, with a total of 8,000 men and horses to attack the coalition camp at night.

During the day, Pei You conspired to send an envoy to the coalition camp to mourn, firstly, to verify with his own eyes whether Li Jing was really dead, and secondly, to propose a truce and a war to the coalition army to make peace, so as to paralyze them.

The envoy rushed to the camp of the coalition army and found that the soldiers in the village, except for those soldiers, all had sad faces, everyone was mourning, wearing linen and filial piety, and wearing white flags. When he entered the Zhongjun camp, he was surprised to find that not only Li Jing was dead, but also Li Juren, the young city lord of Qingni City, and his third brother Li Juli were also dead. Both of the commanders of the coalition were killed in battle, and the result made the messenger tremble with excitement.

At the time of mourning, the envoy personally saw Li Jing, Li Juren, and Li Juli lying in the coffin, which was dead and could not die again. After proposing a series of truce treaties to the town of Salmon, he hurried back to the town.

"Are you sure Li Jing is really dead?" Wang Pu asked again.

"It's dead, it's true. I personally saw Li Jing lying in the coffin with a miserable face. And not only Li Jing died, but on the side of Qingni City, two of Li Lingfu's three sons died. The third child led troops into the east gate last night and died in battle. The boss led his troops to respond, but the horse was hit by a stone, and the soldiers who arrived were stabbed with a shot, and it is said that the intestines flowed out at that time, and he died when he returned. Now the coalition forces, except for those fanzi, are all wearing linen and filial piety. Looking at the appearance of those soldiers, it is by no means a fake. They are already packing their baggage and are ready to return to camp tomorrow. ”

"God really helped me Duli Town, Li Jing, Li Juren and Li Juli all died at once, and the coalition forces were leaderless, this is a good time to defeat them with one blow." This, even the cautious Wang Pu couldn't help but relax, and the idea of killing the coalition army in one fell swoop arose.

At the second watch that night, there was no moon in the sky, the stars were bleak, and the night was dark.

Wang Gai led 3,000 cavalry as the main general as the front army, and Pei You as the deputy general, leading 5,000 infantry behind. Secretly opened the city gate and went straight to the coalition army.

The people were ranked, the horses were wrapped in hooves, and the three thousand cavalry arrived first, only to see the torches in the camp and the tents in the camp. From time to time, you can hear the sound of drums in the camp, and in the dark, you can also see the shadows of the guards in the arrow tower and the camp.

"Kill!" Wang Gai's eyes showed a flash of excitement, shouted, took the lead, jumped on the horse with a horizontal sword, and took the lead in entering the camp. Three thousand cavalry also followed at this time, and without the expected counterattack, they easily rushed straight into the camp.

But when I rushed into the village, I found that there was no one in the camp, and all the tents were empty. At this time, they found that the figures they had seen in the arrow tower and the village were all made of hay tied into human shapes, with clothes and spears on the outside.

Wang Gai's face changed, he knew the plan, and hurriedly shouted: "It's a plan, withdraw!" ”

But at this moment, a burst of drums and horns sounded in unison, countless shouts of killing sounded on all sides, countless fires broke out, and the coalition army ambushed in all directions. Li Jing took the lead and led a thousand cavalry to rush over, and when Wang Gai saw Li Jing, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said in a trembling voice, "Aren't you already dead under my arrows?" ”

Li Jing laughed in the distance: "Then I am the revenant ghost who came to take your life now, and I don't want to accept my life soon!" ”

The two armies took the lead in tearing apart, and then Pei You led 5,000 infantry to come to the rescue, but the soldiers and horses of the sixth battalion of Shamen Town also killed directly. Li Juyi led 800 crane troops and 1,000 infantry to Qingnicheng to kill from the left flank, and Gao Rong led 4,000 soldiers to kill from the right flank.

The Duli town army was surrounded on all sides, frightened, and retreated desperately, fighting to the death. At the end of the day, Wang Pu led the remaining soldiers and horses in the city to gallop to rescue, the two armies fought in a melee, from midnight to dawn, and Wang Pu barely rescued some of the defeated soldiers and withdrew into the city. Counting the men and horses, 8,000 soldiers and horses attacked at night, but only less than half of them were saved. Even the general Pei You was captured alive again, and Wang Pu immediately ordered to stick to the city, seal the gates with stones, and dare not go out again.

Under a round of red sun, the coalition army won a complete victory, the banner of the coalition army was planted all over the city, and under the high banner of General Li, Li Jing rode his horse and crossed the lance, shouting to the city with a loud smile: "Tell Wang Pu that within three days, if Duli Town can't send five million yuan of money and materials, as well as the Feng Changgui clan to our military camp, I will wave my troops to attack the city in three days!"
