More than a day passed. With the help of Yinshi Division and other Wangyoujun, the camp of Qiao Peng Sui Army was successfully established. At the same time, the fatigue of the army was greatly alleviated and its combat effectiveness was basically restored. The important issue of how to win a battle and share the pressure for Emperor Yang of Sui was also put in front of Chen Yingliang and Qiao Peng Sui Army.

Chen Yingliang once hoped for rainy weather that was beneficial to the Sui army's battle. However, after Qiao Peng and Sui army arrived at Xinkou, they were sunny for three consecutive days, without any signs of rain. At the same time, they carefully studied the Xiurong meteorological records provided by Li Jing and carefully observed the astronomical star text. Yuan Tiangang also helplessly told Chen Yingliang that unless the wind direction changes greatly, it will not rain in Yanmen Pass, and when the wind direction changes, the monster like Yuan Tiangang cannot judge.

Fortunately, Chen Yingliang did not put all his bargaining chips on the rainy day. He was not discouraged when he heard Yuan Tiangang's report. After a little calculation, he invited all the commanders of the King's Army, except Li Yuan, to join hands to fight against the Turks. However, what disappointed Chen Yingliang was that although these King's Army was very friendly to him, they did not trust his strength very much. Except for Yinshi Division, no King's Army expressed his willingness to attack with Chen Yingliang. They all urged Chen Yingliang to stay and wait for assistance, and wait for more King's Army to advance together after they arrived. Don't risk going out to fight with eggs to touch stones, which weakened the self-protection power that the King's Army had just possessed.

Even the Yinshi Division is the same. Although the Yinshi Division expressed its willingness to help Chen Yingliang advance to fight, it also urged Chen Yingliang not to launch an attack on a large scale. It is best to fight a small outpost battle first, win a small victory first, distract the Turkic army, and wait for a large number of subsequent reinforcements to arrive before considering launching a decisive battle.

Chen Yingliang knew very well that the King of Kings, represented by Yinshishi, had no selfish intentions to persuade him. He knew that they were worried about their lack of strength, and they were somewhat afraid of the Turkic cavalry of 250,000, and opposed his attack. However, Chen Yingliang could not accept these good intentions, because Chen Yingliang did not want to be accused of being afraid of the enemy and avoiding war, and he also took a little attention to the commander-in-chief of the Kings Army. He wanted to win a battle first to establish prestige. Even if he could not win the position of the Kings Commander-in-chief, he would have a little weight when he recommended his favorite commander-in-chief - Chen Yingliang did not want Li Yuan to cover up the sky with one hand.

In view of these reasons, after sending away the generals of the King-Superior Army, Chen Yingliang thought about it for a long time, and finally slapped the table and shouted: "I don't want to hit me and play trumpets, I'll get promoted. I want to send troops."

The personal soldiers received the order and blew the trumpet of the tent and summoned Chen Yingliang's military lieutenant to the tent to obey the order. Changsun Wuji next to him was extremely worried and asked carefully: "Brother, have you considered it? If this battle cannot be won, our morale will not only be greatly affected, but your prestige in the army of the king will be completely over."

"We have to have a bet." Chen Yingliang said viciously: "If I don't win a battle quickly, when Li Yuan's main army arrives, we will be suppressed by Li Yuan immediately. At that time, Li Yuan asks everyone to recommend him as the commander-in-chief of the King's Army. What objection should we do? We must fight, and win a victory and gain the right to speak, so that we can block Li Yuan's mouth."

Changsun Wuji nodded, and knew that his army had not had much time, so he had to let Chen Yingliang take the risk of gambling. After Chen Yingliang had a little calculation, he asked Changsun Wuji: "By the way, did Li Jing, the governor of Mayi just now? I was busy negotiating with others and didn't notice his situation."

"Li Jing?" Changsun Wuji recalled carefully, and after a moment, he shook his head and said, "It should have been because he hadn't spoken, at least I didn't hear him speak."

"I didn't say anything? Why didn't I say anything? What kind of medicine is this guy selling?" Chen Yingliang felt that he saw through Li Jing and did not understand what the future Tang Dynasty war god had planned. He really wanted to help him? Or was he planning to use himself as his advancement step in front of Li Yuan?

At this time, the generals Qiao Peng had already arrived at the tent of the marquis, and Chen Yingliang could only put Li Jing's affairs aside and set out to arrange troops. Given that the enemy situation was not very clear, Chen Yingliang did not dare to take the risk of using new tactics to adopt the strategy of luring the enemy that Li Jing had to do to him, and arranged for Zhang Di to lead a thousand light infantry to take the task of luring the enemy, stealing the son of Yuyuan from the back mountain path east of the Hutuo River to lure the Turkic light cavalry across the river to surround him; he led Ma Sanbao and two generals Kan, leading 6,000 elite soldiers to follow him, attacking the Turkic surrounding team, and two generals Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin led cavalry to follow him, serve as a reserve team and preventing the situation. The other generals stayed in the camp and followed Yuan Tiangang and Wei Zheng's orders. Changsun Wuji, who was proficient in Turkic speaking, also followed Chen Yingliang to fight.

Because Chen Yingliang used all the tricks before, after hearing Chen Yingliang's arrangements, the generals Qiao Peng listened to the order without hesitation. Chen Yingliang himself felt a little guilty and said, "My generals, this is our first battle to serve the king, and it is also the first battle between our Central Plains team and the Turkic army. You must be mentally prepared for a hard and bloody battle. You must not be careless about underestimating the enemy, but you must not be timid and afraid of the enemy, and fear the enemy as if you are like a tiger. You understand that

"Understand" Qiao Peng and other generals sang their promises in an orderly manner. Chen Yingliang nodded, and told Zhang Di, who was in charge of the task of luring the enemy, to be careful and beware of the enemy-bound enemies, and to be allowed to disband the team when necessary, so that the soldiers would be disbanded from the battlefield. Zhang Di agreed to remember that Chen Yingliang ordered the tent to be disbanded and the generals would be ready immediately. From the afternoon of the afternoon, he sent troops north to cross the Hutuo River on the road at night to prevent Turkic scouts from notice.

Since he was a friendly army, no matter how old he never interacted with each other, the preparations for Qiao Peng Sui Army's army could not be hidden from the eyes of the Taiyuan Army scouts. Li Jing, who participated in the meeting of the King's Chief, also reported the situation of Chen Yingliang's convening meeting to Li Yuan. Li Yuan sneered repeatedly when he heard the news, and did not make any moves. He just ordered the scout to continue to explore Qiao Peng Sui Army's every move and report immediately whenever there was any situation. However, Li Yuan's precious nephew Li Xiaogong was a little worried and said, "Uncle, Chen Yingliang, this kid, sent troops alone. What if he really fought a good start?"

"Just rely on him?" Li Yuan was a little disdainful, but was still a little worried. After a little calculation, Li Yuan ordered: "Let's do this, after Chen Yingliang sent troops, you will also bring a thousand infantry north. If he wins, you will rush forward to grab the credit. If he is stalemate with the Turks, you will join the battlefield on the excuse of helping fight, and then defeating the Turks, and fleeing back immediately with the army, shouting slogans of escape, shake his morale, do you understand?"

Li Xiaogong agreed with a grim smile and went down to prepare immediately. Li Jing bowed to Li Yuan and said, "The ambassador's clever plan is that there is no friendly army collapse on the battlefield that can better damage the morale of the army. He was so mean that he had nothing to say. It was indeed awesome."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't mean to imply him. It's because this kid was too greedy. It's just that he arrived in Xinkou to serve the king. He also wanted to make contributions and win in front of me. If he really wanted to make a success, my old face would be even more unstoppable. So, it wasn't me who deliberately messed with him, but he was asking for help and forcing me to do this."

Li Jing nodded and agreed, smiling as happily as Li Yuan.

In this way, at the right hour of the afternoon, Zhang Di led a thousand light infantry to the camp and head north, along the Hutuo River to the battlefield in Gan County. Half an hour later, Chen Yingliang personally led the main force of infantry and cavalry to the camp. Infantry and cavalry were in front and cavalry, and followed Zhang Di's team north. After receiving the scout's report, Li Yuan did not rush to ask Li Xiaogong's team to send troops to help. It was not until after Xu hour that Chen Yingliang had no follow-up troops. Li Yuan ordered Li Xiaogong's team to attack and asked Li Xiaogong's team to go north slowly and not to rush too fast. Instead, Chen Yingliang was pushed in front as cannon fodder. Because of the various things in relatives' family, Li Xiaogong agreed, and indeed adopted the strategy of slowly moving north.

Of course, Li Yuan did this with kindness. After it was dark, Zhang Di's team heading north along the Hutuo River immediately crossed the Hutuo River at a slow water exploration in advance, and went north to attract the attention of Turkic scouts. He also deliberately used more flags and torches to bluff. The main team led by Chen Yingliang set up a floating bridge to cross the river at another ferry downstream. He did not use the torches, but went north with the moonlight and slowly followed Zhang Di's team to a designated battlefield that was beneficial to his own army. To be on the safe side, Chen Yingliang not only asked the army not to expose it when crossing the river, but also destroyed all the traces and pontoon bridges. As a result...

At the same time, Zhang Di's team, who was swaying north with torches, also successfully attracted the attention of Turkic scouts. Turkic soldiers reported the news to Ashina's association rate, and had been guarding against Sui army infantry to seize Zi Yuyuan's association rate and sneered. He quickly asked about the number of troops of the Sui army. The scout truthfully replied: "It's dark and the distance is long, and it is impossible to judge the number, but judging from the number of flags and torches, the troops must be quite large."

"The more you come, the better. If you want to bully our Turkic cavalry, you are not good at mountain warfare, you dream." Asina's association sneered, and then ordered three thousand Turkic soldiers to go out of the camp immediately to go up the mountain, seize the Ziyuyuan highland, guard the intersection of the Houshan Road, and attacked the Sui army's mountaineering team from a high place, and ordered three thousand light cavalry to go out of the camp immediately, take the Wangjiagou small road to go south, cross the Hutuo River and copy the Sui army's back, and attack the Sui army with the Turkic infantry who seized Ziyuyuan in advance.

The roundabout encirclement task was handed over to the beloved general Du, asking Du to do his best to kill all the Sui soldiers who had stolen Yuyuan, piled up the bodies into Jingguan, so that the Sui army would not dare to peek at this tactical area that was very threatening to the Turkic army. Du smiled and agreed, and immediately led his troops out of the camp. Then, the association rate, with a relatively tactical mind, carefully calculated and arranged another 3,000 Turkic cavalry to go out of the camp, ambushing on both sides of the flat and spacious official road, guarding against the Sui army's division of two groups, sneaking onto Yuyuan, and sneaking into the Turkic camp. It was not until all this was arranged that the association rate slept back into the woman's quilt, enjoying the folk women robbed by the Turkic, while patiently waiting for the good news.

Let’s take a look at the situation on Chen Yingliang’s side. Although he was determined to take the lead in fighting for the king and figured out the real correct tactics from Li Jing’s contradictory words, Chen Yingliang was still not very sure about this battle, because Chen Yingliang knew too little about the Turkic army, and he had not even seen how the Turkic army fought with his own eyes. Everything was listened to others’ descriptions and introductions. He did not understand the enemy enough, so Chen Yingliang certainly did not dare to be as confident as usual.

In addition, Chen Yingliang was also very worried about the strategy proposed by Li Jing, because Li Jing did not give detailed instructions on how Chen Yingliang should fight. Using sneak attacks on infantry as bait was completely acquiring Chen Yingliang's own imagination. Of course, Chen Yingliang was not sure whether Li Jing's confused words were hinting at his tactics or deliberately misleading him and helping Li Yuan to get a big defeat in the first battle. Even Chen Yingliang, who was always easy to do, could not guarantee success, and naturally he was not sure about winning Chen Yingliang in the first battle.

By the way, if it were not for the fact that the terrain east of the Hutuo River was too beneficial to the Sui army's combat and the offensive and retreating were very convenient, Chen Yingliang almost planned to ignore Li Jing's bad ideas and adopt other strategies to win the first battle.

No matter how confident he was, there was no way. The army had already been dispatched. Even if Chen Yingliang wanted to regret it, it would be too late. Therefore, Chen Yingliang could only follow Zhang Di's team north with 6,000 elite troops, feeding mosquitoes while praying that the tactics would be successful. Fortunately, the road to the north was smooth. The main force of the Sui army soon arrived at the edge of the predetermined battlefield and ambushed in the hidden place eight miles south of Ziyuyuan's back mountain path, continuing to feed mosquitoes and waiting for the fighter plane to appear.

Zhang Di's team heading north with torches had already reached the foot of Ziyuyuan's back mountain, but Ziyuyuan's high ground and the west side of Hutuo River were still quiet, and there was no abnormality. Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang and Qiao Peng, who were already considered Lao Yu's battlefield, were still a little patient. Changsun Wuji, who followed Chen Yingliang to the battlefield for the first time, could not help but ask in a low voice: "Brother, why haven't you seen the Turkic barbarians yet? Didn't you say that the Turkic side would definitely attach great importance to Ziyuyuan?"

"What's the hurry?" Chen Yingliang scolded angrily: "It's just the beginning, and the Turks are not fools. Of course, we have to wait until our army reaches the middle of the mountain before showing up. Only in this way can we surround Zhang Di and the others. Now we will startle the snake and let Zhang Di run away?"

Changsun Wuji nodded as if he was ignorant, and then he closed his mouth and waited with Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang found a relatively flat place to sit cross-legged, looking at the flames of Zhang Di's team in the distance, feeling uneasy, and couldn't help but have some random thoughts, and said intimidatingly: "God blesses, as long as the Turkic army can be successfully attacked, I will swear not to attack the daughter of Yinshi Master."

The bright moon was in the sky, and the grasshoppers were chirping tirelessly in the grass nearby. The lure army led by Zhang Di slowly climbed up the mountain in the distance, gradually approaching the mountainside, but the mountain and the Hutuo River were still silent, with only the mountain wind whistling and the river water surging. Seeing this situation, Changsun Wuji, who was still young, couldn't help asking Chen Yingliang for his natural questions. Chen Yingliang asked him to shut up and wait patiently, and said in his heart: "God blesses, as long as this battle can be successful, I swear not to attack Pei Cuiyun."

The night wind blew Chen Yingliang a little, and the lure army led by Zhang Di had already reached the middle and upper part of Ziyuyuan, but the top of the mountain was still quiet, and the west bank of the Hutuo River was still pitch black, and there was no sign of Turkic cavalry crossing the river. When things came to this point, not to mention that Changsun Wuji was even more impatient, the Qiao Peng soldiers around Chen Yingliang also began to worry, and asked Chen Yingliang whether the Turkic Turks had no action to encircle at all? Otherwise, they should have started crossing the river long ago. Chen Yingliang was crying and said to himself: "You ask me, who will I ask? I have never fought with the Turkic people, how could they know if they would definitely fall into the trap?"

"I don't even want Mulan, Yu Qian," Chen Yingliang gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "As long as this battle can be successful, I don't want Mulan's tigress, either."

"Brother, it may be that the Turks are coming." Changsun Wuji suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice: "Listen to you, there is an eagle cry in front of you. My father once told me that the Turks like to use eagle cry instead of code words to contact each other in the dark."

"Really?" Chen Yingliang was overjoyed and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard the eagle's cry, or the eagle's cry of different lengths and rhythms, which seemed like someone was imitating the eagle's cry to send a signal.

"There is an eagle cry." Ma Sanbao came up and whispered: "But it is wrong. There is no movement on the Hutuo River? How did the Turks cross the river?

Hearing this, Chen Yingliang was stunned at first, then suddenly remembered the map that Li Jing gave him, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "The Wangjiagou Road, Wangjiagou Road, is in the valley of the Hutuo River. There must be a ferry there. The Turks must have crossed the river there and touched it directly at the foot of the mountain, so there was no movement on the west bank of the Hutuo River."

Speaking of this, Chen Yingliang slapped his forehead and said in a low voice: "Why did I forget that path? The Turks wanted to surround Zhang Di. When they walked the official road, they had to pass through our scout patrol area and bypass the mountains to circumvent and detour. It was easy for us to notice. Only by walking in Wangjiagou can we appear behind Zhang Di without knowing it. Li Jing also indicated on the map that the cavalry was feasible. Why did I forget it?"

"Woo——dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong"

Before Chen Yingliang could finish his annoyance, Zi Yuyuan Mountain had a long horn sounded and war drums were made. At the same time, countless Turkic soldiers were tying with torches. At the same time, a large number of torches suddenly appeared in front of the Sui army. Countless Turkic cavalry appeared in the light of the torches, galloping down the mountain with torches, making strange provocations, and were surrounded by Zhang Di, who was located on the mountainside.

"God, I didn't remember the small road in Wangjiagou just now, so what I said just now doesn't count. I keep my power unchanged by Yinshi Master's beautiful daughter, Cuiyun, and Mulan."

After quickly swallowing the oath he had just made in his heart, Chen Yingliang stood up and shouted: "Everyone is ready. After hearing the order, the entire army immediately raided and caught the Turks off guard."

Almost at the same time, Li Xiaogong's team slowly heading north along the official road finally heard the sound of war drum horns on the top of Ziyuyuan Mountain. Seeing the fireworks on the east bank of the Hutuo River, Li Xiaogong was stunned on the spot and blurted out: "Why are you on the west bank? Chen Yingliang's little thief, when did he run to the west of the Hutuo River?

"Swish—swish—swish—”

Li Xiaogong was even more stunned. Before he could finish his scream, the sound of bees spreading their wings buzzing sounds of bees buzzing bowstrings on both sides of the road. Countless feather arrows flew through the air and roared overwhelmingly onto Li Xiaogong's team. The Taiyuan Sui army, who was extremely unlucky, caught off guard and was shot to death. Li Xiaogong was shocked and screamed in an ambush. He immediately turned around and ran away. The Turkic cavalry who had been ambushing here rushed to kill from the ambush, screaming and charging, and constantly shooting the feather arrows onto the heads of the Taiyuan Sui army.
Chapter completed!
