Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

According to Li Zhao's observation for many days, Yang Xu was extremely strict in governing the army. This can be seen from the previous battles, even if the Qi army suffered heavy casualties, the offensive never weakened.

Even if he leads his troops to attack from behind, the Qi army will not necessarily collapse immediately. Moreover, Li Zhao has less than 20,000 soldiers under his command, and his troops are less than half of Yang Xu's. This is also why I want to wait for Qi Jingyun to arrive and launch a counterattack with him.

Now Li Zhaozhen can't wait, no matter how dangerous this battle is, it must be fought.

Sergeants of Zhaowu quickly entered the tunnel one after another, because the water level in the tunnel was still rising, Yang Zhi commanded the soldiers to pass as soon as possible.

Not far from the end of the tunnel is the camp of the Qi army, and thousands of people have walked out of the tunnel.

Shen Ning was right, it was also beneficial to start a war on a rainy night. Everyone could only hear the sound of torrential rain, which was less than two hundred steps away from the Qi army's camp, but the Qi army had not yet discovered it.

It didn't take long for more than 10,000 Zhaowu troops to be assembled. Li Zhao was worried that he would be discovered in advance, so he did not wait for all the Zhaowu troops to go out of the tunnel, and ordered an immediate attack.

The Zhaowu army was armed with a long knife and ran hard in the heavy rain to attack the Qi army camp in front.

Previously, in order to prevent the camp from being attacked at night, Yang Xu planned to learn from Li Zhao and dig a trench around the camp. However, because the Qi army had been fighting during the day, and there was a lack of youth in the army, and the trenches were dug shallow and narrow, the officers and men of the Zhaowu army easily crossed the trenches and attacked the Qi army camp.

The Qi sergeant standing on the lookout found that an enemy army had broken into the camp, and he was terrified and shouted loudly. However, the rain was so loud that it muffled his voice.

It was late at night, and most of the Qi army was still asleep. The soldiers of the Zhaowu Army quickly broke into the tents one by one and killed people when they saw them. Song Jun had already led people to the tent of the main general, intending to kill Yang Xu.

Li Zhao saw that the Zhaowu army was progressing smoothly, and his face was overjoyed. If the fight continued like this, even if Qi Jingyun did not lead his troops to arrive, the Zhaowu army would still be able to win. There is a little regret in my heart, if it doesn't rain this time, I will directly put a fire in the camp of the Qi army, and the raging flames will burn everything clean.

Just when Li Zhao was secretly happy, there was a thunderstorm in the sky. The earth was illuminated by dazzling electric light. The Qi sergeants, who were on patrol, suddenly saw everything that was happening in the camp clearly.

After a while, there was a sudden deafening drum sound in everyone's ears, and the drum beat became louder and louder, and the beating speed became faster and faster.

The sound of drums woke up tens of thousands of Qi troops, Yang Xu was shocked, and hurriedly walked out of the tent with a knife, and the sound of killing in the distance could be faintly heard in the torrential rain.

Although I don't know where the Zhaowu army came from, I don't have time to think about it now. Yang Xu said decisively: "Pass on my military order, don't panic, don't leave the camp without permission." The whole army went out and killed the enemy. Hold out until dawn, and the enemy will be defeated. The

soldiers under his command struck the gong and ran around the camp to convey Yang Xu's orders. The Qi soldiers ran out of the tents one after another and fought with the Zhaowu army.

Song Jun originally wanted to kill Yang Xu, but was discovered by the Qi army halfway and was unable to advance for a while.

Li Zhao shouted that it was a pity, the sneak attack was not successful. Urgently ordered Yang Zhi to bring all the remaining Zhaowu army, and tonight was destined to fight to the death with the Qi army in the storm.

The Zhaowu army prepared for this battle for many days, but the Qi army responded in a hurry. Even if Yang Xu tried his best to stabilize the morale of the army, there were still soldiers who were afraid. Obviously, the army is more than the Zhaowu army, and it has never been able to kill the Zhaowu army.

Except for Li Zhao and Shen Ning, due to a slight lack of martial arts, they stood aside and watched the battle. The rest of the officers and men of the Zhaowu Army were all thrown into battle.

If you want to describe the situation tonight in one word, only the word "chaos" is the most appropriate. The sound of thunder, the sound of the wind, the sound of the rain, and the shouts of killing all blended together.

Under extremely low visibility, the soldiers on both sides could only focus on the enemy in front of them, making it difficult for Yang Xu to give full play to his strength advantage.

Every time a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, everyone's eyes widened, and they took advantage of the fleeting white light to carefully see the situation in the camp and adjust accordingly.

Some veterans in the army, with their rich experience, gradually adapted to the battle, and the fighting quickly became fierce.

A large amount of bright red blood flowed to the ground and was quickly washed away by the rain. Even the thick smell of blood was blown away by the strong wind, replaced by the fresh air on a rainy night, as if nothing had happened. Only when the electric light illuminates the night sky can you see the dead eyes lying on the ground.

"Is there a scout who has contacted Qi Jingyun?" Li Zhao frowned

, "There is no news yet, the rainy road is slippery and difficult to walk, so it must still be on the way." Shen Ning said.

Both of them were anxious, and through Yang Xu's efforts, the morale of the Qi army was restored. The strength of the Zhaowu army is inferior to that of the other party, and if it continues for a long time, it will definitely be defeated.

At this moment, there was a huge killing cry in the distance, and Li Zhao hurriedly looked back and saw that it was Liu Haoyan who led his troops to arrive.

More than 2,000 people in the last general's department obeyed the orders of the commander. Liu Haoyan hugged his fists.

Li Zhao was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said: "It's hard work, in the southwest of the Qi army camp, our army is weak, you can lead troops to make up for it." "

The last general commands!"

Liu Haoyan did not delay for a moment, and quickly led his subordinates into the battlefield. When the Zhaowu army saw that reinforcements were coming, their morale was greatly boosted, and the offensive became more and more fierce.

Yang Xu saw Liu Haoyan killed, and his heart was heavy. The Qi army was near Hanshui, and there was also a camp, where Shen Tian led more than 10,000 people to guard the retreat of the Qi army. When Yang Xu had just killed the Zhaowu army, he sent someone to contact Shen Tian and asked him to send troops to help, but Shen Tian never arrived.

What he didn't know was that Shen Tian didn't want to come, but was blocked by Chen Zhe.

When Qi Jingyun's headquarters was twenty miles away, Chen Zhe said to Qi Jingyun: "If Yang Xu is attacked, Shen Tian will definitely save him." If the marshal is unable to defeat Yang Xu for a long time and drags on, the situation will be unfavorable to the Zhaowu army. And the commander's side was short of troops, so he couldn't send troops to stop Shen Tian. General Qi can lead most of his troops to continue to advance, and the last general will take 3,000 men to intercept Shen Tian, not seeking victory, just to temporarily contain him so that he cannot support Yang Xu.

Qi Jingyun thought about it and agreed to the suggestion. The two quickly divided their troops, and Qi Jingyun took the remaining 17,000 people and accelerated to Li Zhao.

Shen Tian was taken aback when he received the news of Yang Xu's request for help. It was pitch black outside, with strong winds mixed with torrential rain, which was not conducive to a battle between the two sides. Even he didn't expect that the Zhaowu Army would choose to send troops tonight.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Tian only left 1,000 people to guard the camp and personally led 10,000 people to support Yang Xu. Shen Tian had a hunch that this battle would be the final decisive battle between him and the Zhaowu Army. If defeated, Shudi and Hanzhong will not be protected.

The Qi army traveled all the way, seven or eight miles away from Yang Xu's camp, and when they passed through a valley, they were stopped by a Zhaowu army.

Chen Zhe had also just arrived here, hurriedly built a position, and desperately intercepted the Qi army, and Shen Tian was unable to advance for a while.
