The sun was shining across the mountains and the setting sun was as bloody as the battlefield between the Zhou and Sui army had been cleaned up. The battle broke out at noon, and the victory and defeat came after an hour. The next time was a large pursuit. The Sui army was defeated like a mountain and suffered heavy casualties.

The Sui army's infantry formation collapsed first, and a large number of Sui cavalry tried to organize counterattacks, but were all defeated by the Zhou cavalry. In the end, the infantry was wiped out, and the cavalry was chased by the Zhou army's tail. Finally, they retreated into Funiu Mountain under the closure of Changshi Changsun Lan.

More than half of the Sui army's infantry were injured and half of the Zhou army captured them. The Sui army's commander, Yang Shuang, the King of Guard, was captured, and the main generals killed more than 30 people.

In the dusk, in the Zhou army camp in the wilderness, soldiers who had experienced fierce battles were having supper. The injured had been treated and transferred to the camp where the wounded were recuperated, and the bodies of the dead were also restrained.

The war ended successfully, and the Zhou army, which had fewer enemies, won a great victory and successfully completed the combat goal. Years of hard work finally paid off.

"Master Zhuan, your armor is shot like a hedgehog, aren't you hurt yourself?"

"What are you hurting? Don't look at the armor being shot into a hedgehog. I don't have much injuries on my body. Come and see, look!"

Li Shi was bare-armed and shouted, asking the soldiers in the banner to "see" whether he was seriously injured. Today he personally led the Battle Strike team to break through. The Sui army was arrowing like rain, and everyone thought he was shot to death by arrows, but nothing happened.

In this battle, Li Shimo's axe and halberd were broken, and a few swords were broken. However, the person was fine, so he ran around and said: "I'm not wrong, are you? The Sui army is not much better than the Chen army!"

"I remember in Lianghekou back then..."

Basically, ordinary soldiers of the Hulin Army had never participated in the battle against the Sui Dynasty. Li Shimo, who was still a big soldier in the Battle of Lianghekou back then, has now become the master of Li Zhuang, and naturally has become the "old senior" in their minds.

The Sui army was stronger than the Chen army, but the soldiers had no idea how powerful they were. Although the generals above the team had repeatedly emphasized that there was nothing scary, they couldn't help but feel worried.

Now it seems that nothing is wrong!

"Nothing? Don't take it lightly!"

Team leader Xu Tuo retorted. Facing the confident soldiers in the team, he poured cold water in earnest: "If it weren't for the barbed wire, those armored cavalry rushed over like this and were hit, they would vomit blood!"

"But the team leader, we have barbed wire!"

"You can't just rely on barbed wire. This thing is very expensive. Besides, the battlefield changes rapidly. Once it is not time to set up, you have to use your life to support it. Therefore, the spear array is very necessary!"

Zhang Xutuo, the young boy back then, is now a veteran on the battlefield. He has a deep understanding of the effect of spear formations against cavalry. Even with the assistance of tools, the only one that can be reliable in an emergency is still the spear formation.

If there are many cavalrymen, there is no need to use infantry to control cavalry so miserably. But even so, Zhang Xutuo also believes that the long spear formation of the Hulin Army is very strong and can still face the enemy head-on. In any case, forming a formation is the essence of infantry combat.

There were laughter and joy everywhere in the military camp. Whether intentional or unintentional, the soldiers were all using this method to dilute the sadness of their comrades' death in battle. If the partners who set out from Xiyang were gone, who would feel better?

In the central army tent, the commander of Zhou's army, Yu Wen Wen, was having a banquet for guests. Of course, no friends would come to visit him. The one he invited was Yang Shuang, the commander of the captured enemy army.

Yuwen Wen wanted to "discuss" with Yang Shuang alone. In fact, the generals opposed it because it was too dangerous. If something happened, it would be amazing. Although Yuwen Wen said that even if he was held hostage, no one would really dare to ignore it.

So there was a circle of soldiers around the tent. Don’t put Brother Chen on the side, just wait to hear something wrong inside, and rush in to save people.

Now Yang Shuang has turned into a prisoner. Although the three arrows were not fatal, he was also very injured. He lost a lot of blood and suffered multiple injuries on his body after falling off a horse. He looked pale and his lips turned blue.

In the big tent, except for Yuwen Wen and Yang Shuang sitting opposite each other, only Zhang Yu stood beside him with a knife. There was a simple hot food in front of the host and the guest. The bonfire in the brazier next to him slightly dispelled the cold air in the tent.

"It's been six years, and I don't know what's going on in Chang'an now?"

"It's still like that, there are still so many people, and the east and west markets are still extremely noisy."

"My Dalang is already five years old, where is your son?"

"The only son in the family is also five years old."

"He should hate me in the future, haha."

Yuwen Wen raised his glass and told Yang Shuang toasted the glass. Both sides drank it all in one go. Of course, the things in the glass were just warm water.

Nine years ago, the young Xiyang County Duke Yuwen Wen, like other noble boys, entered the palace as a guard. At that time, the team general was Yang Shuang, the Duke of Tong'an County, who was two years older than him. The friendship was not only profound, but there were some.

Yang Shuang is the fifth son of Yang Zhong, the Duke of Sui State. He is the half-brother of Yang Jian, the current emperor of Sui State. The two brothers are more than 20 years apart, and they cannot tell that they are of the same generation, depending on their age.

Yang Shuang is even two years younger than Yang Lihua, the eldest daughter of her brother Yang Jian. When his father Yang Zhong died, he was only five years old and raised by his eldest sister-in-law Dugu. Since Yang Jian is Yuwen Wen's cheap father-in-law, Yang Shuang is Yuwen Wen's cheap uncle.

"How did you think of practicing this kind of spear... a spearman?"

"There are few horses in the south of the mountain, so there are few cavalrymen, so I can only find a way to control the cavalry with footsteps."

Hearing Yuwen Wen's straightforward answer, Yang Shuang was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I was careless, you... at the beginning, I wanted me to lead the cavalry out and then let someone raid at the right time, right?"

"Of course, you have more troops than me and more cavalry than me." Yuwen Wen was not polite when he said this, "You have fought with the Turks for several years and are used to cavalry and like to rush forward in person, so you will not take the stair formation seriously, right?"

Yang Shuang was speechless. He didn't find out who the enemy commander was until the war started. The other party was afraid that through the captured Sui army cavalry, he learned that he was leading the troops and then made targeted arrangements.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. In this battle, he did not know one's enemy.

"Is Lihua okay?"

Facing Yang Shuang's question, Yuwen Wen nodded, reached into his arms, took out one of the three amulets hanging on his neck, and showed it to the other party.

"This is what she went to the temple to help me ask for."

Before Yang Shuang could speak, Yuwen Wen smiled again: "Actually, **** should have helped Chang'an... relatives ask for peace."

"Is that...you...you treat her well anyway." Yang Shuang's face turned dark when she heard this, "The world is impermanent, and no one expected it to become like this."

"Yes, things in the world are impermanent. If the old friends come, they should drink and have fun, but what..." Yuwen Wen raised another glass of water, "There is no wine in the army, so he can only use water instead of wine, and practice it for you."

Before going to the war, Yang Shuang learned from Yang Jian that Yang Lihua was not dead yet. If she was in Huangzhou, Shannan, if she could no longer attack Huangzhou, she would definitely rescue her.

Yang Lihua is more like his sister than his niece. Yang Shuang, who was raised by her brother and sister-in-law, actually has the same relationship with her nephew and nieces as her peers.

Yang Shuang handed his jade pendant to Yuwen Wen, asked him to pass it on to Yang Lihua, drank the cup of water, laughed, said "goodbye", then got up and walked out of the tent, and the soldiers on both sides took him to the open space in front of the tent, where the lights were brightly lit and surrounded many soldiers.

"Don't bother you, I'll do it myself."

After Yang Shuang said that, she poked her hand and looked as usual. Tian Zhengyue, who was stabbing, pulled out her sword and handed it over.

Yang Jian almost killed all the Yuwen royal family, with more than fifty lives, and the blood hatred had already been formed. Yang Shuang, the captured brother of Yang Jian, would not allow Zhou army to escort him to Yecheng even if he bit his tongue and committed suicide. He was cut into pieces after parading in the streets.

He knew that the enemy commander was Yuwen Wen, who was considered an old friend and wanted to know his niece's situation, so he did not commit suicide when he was captured. Now the old friend has seen him, and he asked what he should ask. Even if Yuwen Wen didn't do anything, Yang Shuang would not survive.

Yuwen Wen guessed this, so the "Cheers" incident happened.
