Soldiers are expensive and fast!
Lin Renzhao left 600 cavalry for his lieutenant to bluff here and confuse the Tang army. And he led the main army to stop and rush to the Tang army camp.
Li Junxian saw the Sui army's repeated sentinels and couldn't tell the truth for a while. He also secretly thought that this place was the only way to rescue Yang Zaixing. He didn't care at the moment, but strictly ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance and not to relax!
. . . . . . . . . .
Lin Renzhao led his troops to run all the way, and it didn't take long before they arrived not far from the Tang Army's camp. He reined in his horse and waited for a long time to look at the camp. I saw the Tang army's camp with deep ditches and high fortresses. Outside the camp, deer antlers and horses were densely covered, and at least 500 crossbowmen were arranged at the camp gate.
Seeing that the Tang Army camp was heavily guarded, Lin Renzhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This Tang army followed Li Shimin in the north and south for many years. It was an elite force trained in blood and fire and had strict military discipline. If he was not prepared at all at this time, Lin Renzhao should have doubted whether his plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao had been anticipated by the other party, so he pretended to let down his guard and was waiting for himself to die!
Lin Renzhao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Brothers, now our ten thousand Paoze brothers are being madly besieged by the Tang army. If we want to rescue them, we must go all out to attack the Tang army camp in front of us. The only way is to let The main force of the Tang Army knows that their home base is in danger, so they will let go of those brothers and rush back to support the camp. Victory or failure depends on this one move, I beg you brothers!"
"I am willing to fight to the death for the general!"
More than 9,000 soldiers behind Lin Renzhao raised their weapons above their heads, pointed to the sky, and loudly responded to Lin Renzhao.
"kill!"
Lin Renzhao waved his hand and pointed forward, riding ahead. The soldiers and horses behind them suddenly launched like a flash flood and swept towards the Tang Army's camp within sight.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The Tang Army's camp did indeed look heavily guarded, but how could ordinary soldiers have imagined that Sui Army troops would come to kill them at this time? Although the man stuck to his post, he was very relaxed mentally. When he suddenly saw the Sui army soldiers and horses coming to kill him, he suddenly became panicked.
"Don't mess up your position. The archers immediately go to the camp wall and release arrows to stop the Sui army. Anyone who acts rashly will be shot without mercy!"
The one who stayed behind in the Tang Army's camp was the veteran general Pei Renji. Although he was not aggressive enough, he was more than capable of defending. Coupled with decades of battlefield experience, he immediately used iron-blooded means to stabilize the situation in the camp.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
The archers on the camp wall and at the camp gate unfurled their bows and set arrows, and the sound of arrows piercing the air was endless. The Sui army cavalry who rushed forward were shot down in large numbers.
"Pei Renji, although he became a rebel, he still has the ability to fight against General Zhang Xutuo and the Wagang bandits for so long. But now that the main force of the Tang army has been used up, you don't have many troops, and there are still many Auxiliary, I want to see how long you can last!"
Seeing Pei Renji's flag appear, Lin Renzhao smiled coldly, swatted down a few arrows aimed at him, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, hold on, they don't have many troops, as long as they can break into the camp, it will be victory." , the first one to break into the camp will be rewarded three thousand!"
"Come on!"
After listening to Lin Renzhao's call, the soldiers became more powerful and rushed towards the Tang army camp like wild wolves under the rain of arrows. They quickly filled in the trenches, opened up the antlers, cut down the fences, and cleared a flat area for the follow-up troops. road of attack.
"Brothers, kill!"
Seeing that the road ahead was wide open, Lin Renzhao slapped his horse, waved his long spear and rushed in.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Lin Renzhao has entered the brave state, the force is +5, the base force is 95, and the current force has been increased to 100."
Lin Renzhao waved his horse spear up and down, invincible. There was no enemy in front of the horse, and he killed him until his robe was stained with blood.
Seeing Lin Renzhao's unstoppable bravery, he killed his soldiers and made them run away with their heads in their hands. Pei Renji was immediately furious. He clapped his horse and faced him with his sword: "Don't be so arrogant, young man. Do you know General Pei Renji?"
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Pei Renji has entered the brave state, the force is +4, the base force is 87, and the current force has increased to 91."
"Ding dong, Pei Renji's current four-dimensional ability has been detected. Command is 90, force is 87, intelligence is 86, and politics is 82."
"Ding dong, Pei Renji's peak four-dimensional ability has been detected, 92 in command, 95 in force, 86 in intelligence, and 84 in politics."
"Treason and traitor, how can I, Lin Renzhao, be afraid of you?" Lin Renzhao snorted disdainfully and waved the long spear in his hand like the wind, heading straight for Pei Renji's vitals.
Pei Renji's expression changed, and he hurriedly swung his knife to cover himself.
Hearing a "dang" sound, Pei Renji managed to get away from Ma Shan, but his arm was sore and numb from the shock.
"Suffer death, old man!"
With one move, Lin Renzhao had a preliminary judgment on Pei Renji's strength, and his confidence increased greatly. He waved his arms more powerfully and his moves became more fierce.
In his early years, Pei Renji was also a fierce general known for his bravery and proficiency with bows and horses. He made great achievements in the Sui Dynasty's battle to destroy Chen, and he entered the official career from then on.
But now Pei Renji is over fifty, and both his strength and speed are far inferior to those before. Moreover, since he had a son Pei Xingyan who was a brave champion in the three armies, he rarely went into battle in person, and his martial arts skills declined faster than other generals of his generation.
Now facing Lin Renzhao's stormy attack, Pei Renji was overwhelmed. After only twenty rounds, he was already panting and sweating.
Pei Renji was extremely selfish and knew that Lin Renzhao was far superior to him in martial arts. If he continued to hold on like this, his life would be in danger. Immediately, he sold his flaw and fled on horseback.
"Pei Renji ran away! Pei Renji ran away!"
When the soldiers around Lin Renzhao saw Pei Renji fleeing, they immediately shouted loudly to the surroundings. The soldiers who were charging and fighting with all their strength were all encouraged by hearing this, and their momentum suddenly increased. On the other hand, the Tang army's morale plummeted and they were retreating steadily under the Sui army's offensive.
Lin Renzhao rode his horse into the camp and shouted sternly: "Brothers, don't be busy killing thieves and collecting heads in today's battle. Set fire everywhere, burn tents, burn food and grass. Burn whatever you can, and burn the fire until it gets stronger." The better. The main force of the Tang army besieging General Yang Zaixing will definitely come to the rescue without stopping when they see the campfire."
Following Lin Renzhao's order, the Sui soldiers who rushed into the camp stopped entangled with the Tang army and dispersed in all directions, rushing towards the interior of the Tang camp.
Although Lin Renzhao's troops did not prepare sulfur, kerosene and other fire starters in advance, there was no shortage of these materials in the Tang Army's camp. Originally, Li Shimin hoarded it in preparation for one day attacking the Sui army with fire, but at this moment, the Sui army took advantage of it and turned his camp into a sea of fire.
