The messenger sent by Wokuotai quickly arrived at the Tang Army's camp. Hearing that Chiyan Ridge was a trap by the Sui Army, Li Yuanji's expression changed again and again, indicating that he had once again fallen into the Sui Army's trap. He felt a huge sense of humiliation. This made the prince who had been pampered since childhood look extremely ugly.
However, at this time, his uncle Li Keyong could no longer take care of his emotions. In order to seize the slightest chance of winning in defeat, he asked Li Yuanji without hesitation: "Your Highness, Prince Wokuotai, said It makes sense. At this time, the only way to attack Yue Fei's camp is that our army has a chance of winning."
"Yes, Your Highness, please quickly send troops to support Prince Ogedai!"
Lu Bu, Xin Yunjing, Deng Zongbi and other battle-hardened generals all echoed the sentiments. Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing also carefully reminded Li Yuanji that they had followed Li Yuanji for the longest time and knew how much Li Yuanji was worth. It was unreliable to count on Li Yuanji at this time. It was better to believe in Wogotai's decision.
Pei Ji also nodded towards Li Yuanji. His thoughts were the same as those of Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing. Li Yuanji obviously did not have the ability to deal with this situation, so he had no choice but to choose the solution proposed by Wo Kuotai.
Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Li Yuanji, who was already panicking, immediately agreed to Wo Kuotai's plan and ordered Li Keyong to lead 60,000 elites out of the camp to join the Turkic troops under Wo Kuotai's command to jointly attack Yue Fei's camp. At the same time, a messenger Pegasus was sent to Zhu Si, ordering him to lead his army to form a formation on the spot to block the elite Sui troops in the direction of Chiyan Ridge.
"Your Highness, Yang Gao at Jingxing Pass is not blind. After Wei Chen leads his army, he will definitely understand that their ambush in Chiyan Ridge was successful. At that time, he will definitely gather troops to attack our camp to support Yue Fei. "
Before setting off, Li Keyong carefully warned Li Yuanji: "If Yang Gao leads his army to attack, please keep your highness guard the camp. You only need to stop the Sui army in the direction of Jingxing."
"Uncle, don't worry, I understand!"
The unfavorable situation made Li Yuanji put away his arrogance and self-righteousness, and nodded towards Li Keyong.
Although he was still a little worried, Li Keyong still led the army and set off. He could only secretly pray that Li Yuanji would be smarter and guard the camp safely without causing trouble again.
Li Keyong led an army of 60,000 people out of the camp and rushed eastward. Joining Wokuotai's troops who had been waiting for a long time, the two armies joined forces and marched towards Yue Fei's camp in a mighty manner.
Naturally, the scale of such a huge march could not be concealed from the Sui army's scouts. Yue Fei soon got the news that more than 100,000 Tang Dynasty coalition troops were rushing towards the camp.
"There are indeed many talented people among the pseudo-Tang Dynasty and Turkic barbarians!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Yue Fei's eyes, and he gave up the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the Chiyan Ridge in one breath. Not everyone can make such a determination.
"Send the order, all troops will guard the camp and wait for General Fu to lead his troops to return for reinforcements!"
The generals Yue Yun, Zhang Xian, Zhang He, Duan Xiushi, and Yang Cunzhong who stayed in the camp all clasped their fists and took orders.
. . . . . . . . . .
"Destroy the enemy camp and capture Yue Fei alive!"
"Destroy the enemy camp and capture Yue Fei alive!"
The 110,000 Tang Tuo coalition troops were densely packed like a swarm of ants and swarmed towards the Sui army camp. The fluttering flags were blown loudly, the rumble of horse hooves and the sonorous and powerful footsteps made the earth tremble slightly.
At the center of the army, Wokuotai and Li Ke stood on horseback in full armor. Li Keyong pulled the reins and raised his hands to Wokuotai and said: "Little prince, you must know what the situation is now. Now there is no need for you and our troops to hide and tuck in. Everything can be done to break through Yue Fei's camp." First.”
Wokuotai nodded, stretched out his hand, and saw a commotion among the Turkic army. Thousands of Turkic cavalry, led by the brave general Ali Hague, galloped out, galloping back and forth in front of the Sui army camp, pointing the arrows in their hands towards The Sui army's camp poured down.
"Raise your shield!"
In the camp of the Sui army, Yue Fei, wearing a general's robe and armor, rode his horse and stood on the commander's platform in the camp. He had a panoramic view of the situation inside and outside the camp. When he saw this, he immediately roared, ordered his flag to wave, and stood on the camp. The wall and the Sui army behind the gate moved upon hearing the sound, raising their shields high to protect themselves and their comrades behind them.
Countless arrows whizzed down and landed on the shields of the Sui army. Some arrows passed through the gaps in the shields and hit the Sui soldiers. From time to time, arrows fell from the arrow tower walls surrounding the camp.
"Shoot again, the crossbowman steps forward twenty steps!"
After careful calculation, Yue Fei gave another order. Thousands of crossbowmen, under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, stepped forward twenty steps, strung their bows, raised their arms, and shot out. The arrows flew away. One by one, perfect parabolas fell into the crowd of Turkic cavalry as if they had eyes. The Turkic cavalry was suddenly shot into a large area.
"Line up, attack, distract the Sui army's crossbowmen, and cover the Turkic friendly troops' cavalry and shooting!"
Li Ke pointed his sword forward, and 10,000 elite Tang troops came out in formation and rushed towards the Sui army camp to kill them. The shouts of killing like a roaring mountain and a tsunami resounded through the sky.
Thousands of arrows were fired from the Sui camp, and the dense arrows were shot at the rushing Tang soldiers. However, the Tang soldiers were prepared for it, raised their giant shields to cover each other, and continued to advance despite the dense rain of arrows.
The Sui army's camp was built under the personal supervision of Yue Fei and was well-defended. Triple antlers were placed outside the camp and a deep ravine was dug. The most important task of the first Tang army to attack was to clear these obstacles to the attack and prepare the ground for subsequent attacks. The main attack opens a clear path.
The heavy infantry of the Tang Army rushed towards the Sui Army's camp with arrows flying over their heads, carrying sacks filled with soil. They chopped off the antlers with their swords and threw the sacks into the ditch.
But the closer to the Sui army's camp, the more powerful the Sui army's arrows were. From time to time, Tang soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and some fell directly into the ditch. However, the Tang soldiers behind showed no mercy and kept the sandbags still there. On top of the corpses of Pao Ze, they quickly disappeared.
"Instruct the three armies to fill in the trenches at all costs and clear the way for the subsequent army to attack the Sui army camp!"
Li Keyong looked resolute and said decisively: "Whoever dares to take a step back, not only him, but also his whole family, I swear in the name of the Tang Dynasty clan, he will also be held accountable!"
Wokuotai also gave an order to his troops: "The warriors of Canglang and Bailu will never be allowed to retreat. No matter how dense the Sui army's arrows are, they will not be allowed to stop riding and shooting. We will use the greatest possible means to cover the Tang army's landfill." The ditch clears the way for the attack.”
. . . . . . . . . .
Li Keyong led an army of 60,000 out of the camp. The Sui army at Jingxing soon discovered the Tang army's movements and quickly reported it to Yang Gao and Chang Yuchun who were closing the earth gate to the west of Jingxing.
