The eight hundred swords and axemen, without armor, all went into battle lightly, carrying large swords or giant axes, and took a vigorous step, reaching the enemy in an instant... There was no structure, no prior plan, and completely slashing in a nearly barbaric way, not for the purpose of defeating the enemy, but for pure killing. The eight hundred swords and axemen, like eight hundred tigers, rushed into the seemingly large-scale but vulnerable wolf pack. In an instant, six thousand troops were killed by the eight hundred swords and axemen, and were unable to resist.

Cheng Zhijie led a team of 200 soldiers to fight in person and rose up to resist the attack of the sword and axe driver. When he used the axe, Cheng Zhijie and the sword and axe driver had a qualitative difference, either hooking, sweeping, or chopping. Xuanhua's axe was blown by Cheng Zhijie's sword. If it weren't for the burning of both legs and the inconvenience of movement, Cheng Zhijie would have defeated the eight hundred sword and axe drivers in one go.

When Cheng Zhijie led the vanguard army and fought with the eight hundred swords and axemen, the news came back to the camp in the rear. After careful consideration, Yin Kaishan decided to ignore it. After all, there were only eight hundred people leaving the city. If these eight hundred people used the army, it would definitely disrupt the entire strategic deployment. If Li Yuanjing seized the opportunity to defeat his side, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing that Yin Kaishan did not send troops to reinforce the vanguard army, Li Yuanjing smiled unexpectedly again, called a soldier, and said lightly: "Send a thousand infantry to reinforce!"

With Li Yuanjing's order, another thousand infantry joined the battle. With more than 500 swords and axes left, the number of Li Yuanjing's army on the battlefield reached 1,500. However, even so, it was still impossible to shake the vanguard army under Cheng Zhijie. These 1,500 people could only play a tangle role and could not pose a substantial threat to the vanguard army.

Yin Kaishan still did not send troops to reinforce. After a while, after only one thousand Li Yuanjing's army was left on the battlefield, Li Yuanjing sent another thousand reinforcements. At this time, there were two thousand Li Yuanjing's army and more than five thousand Cheng Zhijie's vanguard army on the battlefield, and their advantage was still on the Tang Dynasty.

When he learned that Li Yuanjing had used the "greasing tactic" as a military taboo, the generals in the camp in the rear burst into laughter and sighed that Li Yuanjing was just like this. He was a powerful conspirator, but not a competent military strategist. If Li Yuanjing continued to add fuel to this, the Tang army could wipe out the army under Li Yuanjing bit by bit. Just when everyone was highly unified in their opinions and felt that Li Yuanjing would undoubtedly lose this battle, Yin Kaishan's face became extremely solemn.

After a while, Yin Kaishan shouted: "No, Li Yuanjing is confusing us! He sent me the order and quickly sent five thousand soldiers to support Duke Lu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a messenger rushed into the camp, knelt down on the ground, and cried in fear: "Master General, it's not good! Li Yuanjing rebelled against the traitor, and suddenly sent 4,000 cavalry reinforcements! The army under Duke Lu was killed and defeated, with more than half of the casualties. Duke Lu was deeply encircled and in danger!"

Hearing this, the generals who were pride just now were all shocked, their faces were as clear as earth, and they could no longer laugh. Although Yin Kaishan had seen through Li Yuanjing's tricks just now, he was not mentally prepared at this time. After listening to the commander's words, his face became extremely ugly: "Hurry, hurry up, send troops to reinforce!"

At this time, Li Yuanjing looked at the Tang vanguard army that had been wiped out, chuckled, walked down the city with his hands behind his back. While walking, he casually said: "Get off the troops!"

From the beginning, the Tang army was played with applause by Li Yuanjing. At first, they used fire attack tactics to disrupt the formation of the vanguard army, and then sent swords and axes to attract the attention of the vanguard army. These 800 people did not cause Yin Kaishan to send troops to reinforce. Then, Li Yuanjing sent one thousand soldiers to reinforce each in order to confuse Yin Kaishan and Cheng Zhijie. Then, while they were unprepared, they sent four thousand cavalry to attack the vanguard army with lightning speed. It turned out that there were two thousand soldiers on the battlefield, plus the 4 thousand cavalry, which had already overwhelmed Cheng Zhijie's vanguard army in terms of numbers alone. In addition, Cheng Zhijie's vanguard army was injured and lacked combat power, so they could not resist the impact of the cavalry. The final result was that Li Yuanjing killed more than 5,000 Cheng Zhijie's vanguard army at the cost of losing less than a thousand people, which was a complete victory.

Originally, Li Yuanjing had the advantage of numbers, while the main force of the Tang Dynasty was only 20,000, which was not enough. Now he suddenly lost 5,000 soldiers and 8,000 war horses, which was even worse for the Tang Dynasty.

When the reinforcements from Yin Kaishan Sect arrived at the battlefield, Li Yuanjing's army had retreated to the city, leaving only wild corpses, and kneeling on one knee, clenching fists with one hand and holding an axe with the other. Cheng Zhijie was very upset.

"Wang, why don't you take advantage of the victory and send a large army in the city to eat the enemy in one breath?" A side general followed Li Yuanjing and asked in confusion.

Li Yuanjing kept his footsteps and didn't want to answer, but considering that he should not neglect the enthusiasm of the soldiers, he could only answer reluctantly: "There is an essential difference between surprise attacks and full-scale wars. Once a full-scale war begins, the battle will no longer be a wise man, but the strength or weakness of the army. Although the enemy is less than 15,000, it is the main force of the Tang Dynasty after all, so how can it be defeated? In addition, our army needs to leave troops to guard all prefectures and counties. Once the war starts in full, if military aid cannot keep up, we will suffer losses. After all, this is not the time for a decisive battle. Let me play with these so-called founding fathers for a few rounds."

After saying that, Li Yuanjing sighed in his heart that Wu Mou was not around, and there were people with simple minds and developed limbs around him, and even such things need to be explained by himself.

Just when Li Yuanjing lamented Wu Mou, Wu Mou had already brought more than a hundred masters with him, less than a hundred miles away from Wei Hong. If he was traveling at night, he could "meet" with Wei Hong before dawn. However, Wei Hong was unaware of it and was riding a horse with Cheng Chumo, enjoying the night view with flowers.

"Sir, you don't feel sorry for all the five carts of gold, silver and jewelry to the emperor?" Cheng Chumo asked, "I didn't open the pot."

When Wei Hong mentioned this, he felt a little frustrated: "Well, why don't you feel sorry! But what's the use of feeling sorry? Alas, forget it, don't mention this matter anymore. If you mention it again, not only will it hurt, but even the flesh hurts!"

"Okay, I won't mention this. By the way, sir, what kind of person do you think Li Yuanjing is?" The long night is long and the road is boring. You have to find some topics, otherwise wouldn't it be too boring? (To be continued.)
