This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Different from previous mutual tests, this time there was no way out from the moment the two sides came into contact with each other.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty sent troops was to defend the glory of the Tang Dynasty and save the compatriots of the Tang Dynasty. Under this premise, Li Junxian could not refuse, let alone let go.

As for Wan Qipu and the others, it is actually even simpler. This battle is for Li Chengqian to successfully ascend to Dabao. Therefore, both sides are clearly demonstrating their strength.

So there was no conspiracy in this battle.

At least at this stage, both sides have the same goal.

Of course, the most aggrieved person here is undoubtedly Li Junxian.

He didn't want to take sides or represent anyone, but he had no choice.

As long as Li Er does not transfer him from Taohe County, he must be controlled by Liu Shuyi.

This is where he is most helpless.

Let's put it this way, as long as this war continues, even if he doesn't want to choose, he will probably have to make a choice in the end.

Without him, Liu Shuyi now tied him to his chariot with great righteousness.

This is the fate he faces.

As for defecting to Li Chengqian, haha, if he surrenders to Li Chengqian at this time, then he is not betraying Li Ke, but betraying the Tang Dynasty!

It wasn't until late afternoon that the battle finally came to a halt.

Without him, neither party would have the energy to continue.

Returning to the military camp, Wan Qipu said to the accompanying soldiers: "Check how many soldiers in each department are capable of fighting. Tonight, I, the general, will attack the enemy camp at night."

"Our casualty rate in this battle is not low." The soldier said, "Datang's gunpowder bombs really put a lot of pressure on us."

Since the Tang Dynasty developed black gunpowder, Li Er has invested in this aspect regardless of cost. Of course, there are not many armies that can equip black gunpowder.

The reason why there is something here in Taohe County is because Li Er is adding more weight to Li Ke.

After all, the Ming Dynasty's military power is already famous throughout the world.

If Li Ke is too inferior in this regard, then his plan will basically be impossible to succeed.

"Don't we have any gunpowder bombs?" Wan Qipu snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Give me the order to prepare all the trebuchets for me. Tonight, I will show them the gunpowder bombs." How to use it!

In addition, the military doctors who followed the army all said that they had worked hard these past two days, and now that the war is over, I personally asked for credit for them.

Finally, give me all the weapons that were sent to me before becoming a prisoner. Since everyone has made achievements in trauma, let's find something to do for their doctors.

Huh, suturing the wound is an original creation of my Ming Dynasty. How can there be no countermeasures? "

When the soldiers heard the words, they immediately went down and did as they were told.

Wan Qipu, however, was not idle. He went in and out of various wounded barracks and discussed the specific details of the night attack with his subordinates.

Just after midnight, everyone only got a short rest. Wanqi Pu gathered all the soldiers who could still fight and went straight to the enemy camp.

But what is more interesting is that when Wan Qi Pugang led his army straight to the enemy camp, a scout came back with an embarrassed look on his face: "General, that Li Junxian led the army towards us, look like that, It’s probably an idea I had with the general.”

"What a fool." Wan Qipu was stunned when he heard this, and cursed secretly, "Is this guy really going to take sides?"

He was not surprised that Li Junxian would behave like this. What really surprised him was Li Junxian's choice.

From what he knew, Li Junxian and Liu Shuyi were not from the same group.

Since we are not traveling together, is there any need to work so hard?

However, the scouts under his command are equipped with telescopes as standard equipment, so he has an inherent advantage in predicting the enemy first.

"General, what should we do?" his subordinates asked.

Without even thinking about it, Wan Qi Pu said, "What else can we do? First, seize the ground and set up all the trebuchets for me. Since a night attack is not possible, an ambush will do! I want to take a look. Which one is more fierce, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, or the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who are sharper!"

With that said, Wan Qipu immediately started making arrangements.

Now that Li Junxian's movements have been discovered, of course he should wait for work. Only fools would engage in encounters. There is no need.

Moreover, it is better to set up an ambush at night.

After all preparations were completed, Wan Qipu ordered the army to extinguish the torches, and the entire army hid in the darkness like hunting wolves.

As for Li Junxian, he was naturally not careless. He also sent many scouts to scout ahead along the way. However, his scouts could not keep up with the Ming Dynasty in terms of equipment.

However, Li Junxian was also a veteran general. When he found that a scout had not returned, he ordered the army to stop and sent out another scout.

"General, are we too careful?" A soldier under his command asked puzzledly, "It's actually normal for scouts to get lost or have accidents at night, and it's just one person. If we keep doing this and waiting , wouldn’t it be a delay in fighting?”

Li Junxian shook his head and said: "The scouts sent by this general are all experienced. If he got lost at night or had an accident like you said, he would have died countless times."

Now it is not the competition between him and Wan Qipu, and there is no room for him to be careless.

If he really wants to mess with other people's opinions, he will be greatly embarrassed.

The most important thing is that he now represents Datang.

At this time, Wan Qipu also had a look of pain on his face. He had already received news from the scouts. Just now, their scouts surrounded and killed the Tang Dynasty scouts, but Li Junxian's army was at their ambush point. It looks like two miles away.

Yes, it was only two miles away. If Wan Qi Pu took out his telescope at this moment, he might still be able to see the flames in Li Junxian's temporary camp.

This made him quite helpless.

Another half an hour passed, and just when Li Junxian thought that the scout would never come back, someone finally came back quickly.

"General, we were discovered by the Ming Dynasty's scouts. At this moment, the Ming Dynasty's scouts are frantically intercepting and killing our people." The returning scout said hurriedly.

"Have you noticed Wan Qipu's army?" Li Junxian asked.

"We haven't found anything yet," the scout said.

"Didn't you find that Wan Qi Pu's army and so many scouts are surrounding you?" Li Junxian thought for a while and said, "This is wrong. I'm afraid that Wan Qi Pu is ambushing nearby. I have long heard that the scouts of the Ming Dynasty have a telescope, so our whereabouts must have been discovered by them.

The stubborn Wan Qipu probably wanted to attack the enemy camp at night like me, but their scouts discovered our whereabouts in advance, so they prepared to ambush us. "

I have to say that Li Junxian is still very smart.

After a second thought, I understood the general situation of the matter. "Then what should we do?" At that moment, a soldier asked, "We are all here, do we still have to withdraw?"

Li Junxian thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Why retreat? In this way, let the army camp on the spot, the fire will be burned brightly by this general, and all the meat and wine will be moved out. Of course, if the meat can be eaten, the wine will be No need, besides, you can’t drink that thing.

Then disperse all the scouts. I don't have the ability to predict the enemy ahead of them, but I have scouts at fifty steps. They are so densely packed. Can you still sneak attack on me? "

At this point, Li Junxian laughed and said, "I want to see if Wan Qipu's army can survive this cold and unrestrained situation, or we can survive."

It should be said that few of these generals in the early Tang Dynasty were capable of human affairs.

It is estimated that only Li Junxian could come up with such an immoral idea.

Aren't you planning an ambush?

Since we are going to ambush, we naturally have to completely hide ourselves in the dark night. On this day, why don't we freeze someone to death?

He didn't care. He was warming himself by the fire and enjoying himself. His little life was quite comfortable.

As for whether it could be a misjudgment, it is possible, but what does it matter?

Even if he misjudges, he will only lose an opportunity for a night attack, but if he really takes advantage of others, the loss will be huge.

When his subordinates heard what he said, they immediately laughed out loud.

Not to mention, this is really a method.

At that moment, everyone started messing around according to Li Junxian's arrangement.

Of course, it looks like they are setting up camp, but in fact the entire army is always ready to respond to any sudden attack.

Not far away, when Wan Qipu received the news from the scouts, he felt bad.

"Damn, it's exposed. This guy is deliberately disgusting us!" Wan Qipu was a little helpless. He and Li Junxian had been fighting for so long. Naturally, he knew that this guy was difficult to deal with, but difficult to deal with, so This was the first time he saw the shameless Li Junxian, "Damn it, why didn't I realize that he had such a shameless side before?

It took me away from my path and put me in a dilemma. "

He was really speechless. He had been fighting with Li Junxian for so long. In the past, he was the one who dominated the road of being shameless and without limits. Now, Li Junxian, a shameless person, has begun to walk on this road of no return. .

"Then we're just going to waste time with them?" His subordinates asked quickly.

"Was it?" Wan Qipu heard the words and didn't hide it, "Wasted him, uncle, did he really think he was going to eat me? Since he dared to attack at night, the military camp was empty, but there must be nothing. Combat strength, in this way, my general will take a detour with three hundred light cavalry to attack Huanglong. You continue to stay here and waste time with him.

Well, you just need to stay here and prevent their scouts from advancing even an inch. Li Junxian must have concluded that I am afraid that the ambush point will be exposed.

By the time he reacted, I was all back. "

"Isn't this a bit risky? Their army is here. Is it really necessary to sneak attack the camp?" Hearing what he said, the soldiers under his command were also a little confused.

You must know that their entire army only has more than a thousand soldiers and horses. Some of them were damaged in the previous battle and some were injured. Now the army has less than a thousand soldiers.

If Wan Qipu takes away another 300 Qingqi, they will have several hundred soldiers and horses. If Li Junxian notices it, they will be in danger.

Of course, they are not afraid of death. The key is that the risk is too high if the troops are divided like this.

Moreover, Li Junxian's camp was empty, so it would not make much sense to raid his camp at this moment.

At least that's how they see it.

"You know nothing." Wan Qipu said immediately, "Just listen to me. Even if Li Junxian really discovers something, it doesn't matter whether they dare to take action against you. Even if they dare, there are so many trebuchets. Just greet them. , condescending, why are you worried?

I hate the army. When did we not defeat the enemy with less?

Damn it, it’s been too long to live a stable life, hasn’t it? "

After saying that, Wanqi Pu didn't bother to explain to them, and immediately began to make intensive arrangements.

After all the matters were explained, Wan Qipu led the army and asked the scouts to clear the way, taking a detour and going straight to Li Junxian's lair.

At this moment, Li Junxian didn't know that Wan Qipu had already started to cause trouble, and he was analyzing Wan Qipu's ambush point with the other soldiers.

"For my subordinates, their best ambush point is on the hills ahead. Although there are no high mountains in this area, as long as we have a commanding advantage and their ordnance, if we rashly get in , it’s really easy to fall into their trap.”

At that moment, someone said.

Hearing this, Li Junxian also nodded and said, "Indeed, if this general were to set up an ambush, he would choose this way." At this point, Li Junxian sighed and said, "In the end, it's still us. Their scouts are no match for others in terms of equipment, but if our scouts are equipped with a Ming Dynasty telescope, we can also set up an ambush like this."

"No, our scouts have never captured the Ming Dynasty's scouts? Don't they all have a telescope? Can't they just steal one by killing each one?" Someone asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Li Junxian shook his head: "Do you think you are the only one who thought of this? Ever since I learned that the Ming Dynasty's scouts and spies all have a telescope, the Ming Dynasty's spies and spies have become popular, no? No one knows how many people went to intercept and kill them. At that time, even the desperadoes of the Tang Dynasty wanted to make a fortune from this windfall.

After all, a telescope is almost sold for sky-high prices in Chang'an.

But when they succeeded, they found that the lens of the telescope broke as soon as they used it. From then on, the spies and scouts of the Ming Dynasty almost became indifferent...

The risk and cost of intercepting and killing them are high. Who would want to provoke them if it is not necessary? "

While they were chatting, Wan Qipu had already packed lightly and headed straight to Li Junxian's camp.

"This time, we raided the enemy camp for no other reason than to burn their food and grass and explode their gunpowder bombs. Damn it, you dare to play this trick with me, I won't give you something powerful, really I thought I got it for free!”

Wan Qipu said with a sinister look, "Who the hell said you can only kill people when attacking a camp? Do you understand me?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately understood.

After a while, more than 300 people rode straight to Li Junxian's camp.

When Li Junxian's camp heard the commotion, the soldiers left behind also got up to meet the enemy.

However, Wanqi Pu didn't care about them at all and threw incendiary bombs into the camp for free.

For a moment, the entire camp was ablaze.

I can't find your food and gunpowder warehouses, but the whole camp is on fire, how can I still escape?

As for killing people, it is not necessary. As long as Li Junxian's grain, grass and gunpowder stores are burned, it will be more cost-effective than killing many people.

"General, we haven't found their gunpowder magazine yet." Just as Wanqi Pu threw an incendiary bomb, a soldier shouted.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Just as he finished speaking, bursts of rumbling explosions sounded throughout the night.

When Wan Qipu saw this, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Withdraw!"
