Chang He smiled bitterly in his heart. He understood that King Qi wanted to escape, but he had no choice but to take over the gold medal. "Thank you for your trust, I will definitely defend the camp!"

Of course, such bold words have no practical significance. Chang He whispered: "Your Highness is a body of gold, and it is important to protect the dragon body, but I am humble to advise Youth Highness not to leave now."

"Why?" Li Yuanji was stunned.

"Your Highness, if you are not wrong with your humble position, the Sui army must have set up interception troops behind you. If your Highness leaves now, you will definitely get into the Sui army's net. Finally, taking advantage of the chaos of the army, the Sui army has no time to distinguish and can escape."

Li Yuanji escaped once in Taiyuan. He had experience, and Chang He said it really makes sense, but the words could not be so obvious.

Li Yuanji's face sank and said, "I am the prince, how could I escape in the battle? Don't talk nonsense anymore."

Chang He was so scared that he bowed quickly and said, "Yes! I dare not talk nonsense anymore."

Li Yuanji snorted heavily, turned his horse's head and left. Chang He looked at his back and walked away before sneering gloomy. If Li Yuanji escaped too early and when the chaos started, he would become the focus of the Sui army's attention. He was not so stupid.

At this moment, the sound of the war drums of the Sui army was "dong!dong". This was the sound of the attack. The drums were shocking. A thousand-man infantry were lined up toward the Tang army camp.

Step by step, the movements are extremely slow, but every step is as heavy as a mountain. These more than a thousand infantry soldiers are like Mount Tai.

They held a long sword in one hand, a shield in the other hand, and were wearing heavy armor, and murderous aura soared into the sky, just like soldiers cast by steel. Their aura suppressed the hearts of the Tang soldiers, making them breathless.

No matter the main general Chang He or ordinary soldiers, they had never seen such heavy armored infantry. They suddenly became flustered and retreated one after another. Chang He raised his sword and shouted: "Don't panic, shoot arrows!"

Eight thousand crossbow soldiers fired arrows together, and the arrows suddenly shot like a storm, and densely shot at a thousand heavy armored soldiers a hundred steps away.

A hundred steps away, a thousand heavy armored Mo Dao Army had already arranged in a formation, fifty people in a row, a total of twenty rows, and the sound of the attack drums had already sounded. The heavy armored Mo Dao Army rushed towards the Tang camp step by step.

A hundred steps away, the Tang army's arrows could not be reached, and the 20,000 Sui cavalry were lined up. They held spears in their hands and strangled the war horses that were eager to try. Every soldier had an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

Yang Yuanqing looked at Tang Jun's last madness coldly, but the overly dense arrows still made him a little worried. He immediately ordered: "Calling and shooting counterattack!"

He was ordered to go as soon as he was ordered. The drums and thunder sounded. Xie Yingdeng led five thousand archers and cavalrymen to run out. The archers ran in the moonlit night, and dense arrows shot towards the Tang camp.

Arrows were like rain, flying all over the sky. The sudden rain of arrows from the Sui army immediately caused the Tang soldiers to be shot in arrows, screaming sounded, and countless casualties were killed and injured. The Tang army's crossbowmen retreated one after another, and the Tang army's arrow formation was suppressed.

The dense rain of arrows by the Tang army caused the attacking heavy armored soldiers to suffer considerable losses. The shields in the hands of the front two rows of heavy armored soldiers had been smashed by the arrows. The heavy armor on their bodies could not withstand the blow of the high-intensity arrows and was riddled with holes. Seventy or eighty heavy armored soldiers in the front two rows had been killed and injured.

But with the counterattack of the Tang army's archers, the pressure of the heavy armored soldiers suddenly weakened. They began to reorganize their teams and continued to launch an offensive against the Tang army camp.

The spear thorns outside the Tang army camp were about fifty steps wide, with the spear tips facing outwards. In combination with the bow and arrow, they can indeed play a certain defensive role. However, when the bow and arrow fail to work against heavy armored infantry, the fifty steps wide and dense spear thorns became decorations.

The first row of heavily armored infantry arrived. Xueliang's sword slashed by, dozens of spear thorns were cut off by one, and debris flew away. The spear thorn formation was instantly killed.

The Tang army's crossbowmen were frightened and retreated one after another. At this time, Chang He was sweating profusely and scolded the King of Qi for being stupid. He stationed the camp in the flat wilderness to facilitate the attack of the Sui cavalry. Once the gap is broken, the Sui cavalry will surely enter in large numbers.

Seeing that the heavily armored infantry of the Sui army was about to open a gap, Chang He immediately ordered loudly, "The Spear Army is in line!"

He asked in surprise: "General, how many soldiers are in the array?"

Chang He glared at him fiercely, "All spear soldiers are all in an array!"

Several side generals ran away, Chang He suddenly turned his head and stared at the Sui army's Modao Army almost desperately. Ten thousand spears were his last glimmer of hope. If the spears and soldiers could not stop the Sui army, then the Tang army would inevitably collapse in this battle.

Ten thousand Tang army spear troops were quickly mobilized, and they lined up twenty rows, each with 500 people, and several chariots were placed in front.

This is also the traditional tactic of infantry against cavalry during the Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties. It uses military vehicles as a means of blocking and uses spear troops to form a formation to fight intensively.

After all, the new army of the Tang Dynasty had been training for nearly a year. Ten thousand spears quickly formed a formation in front of the Dongdaying. Ten thousand spears were densely packed, but before they could complete the formation, a thousand heavy armored Modao Army had already opened the gap in the Tangying camp and entered the Tang army camp.

...........

Yang Yuanqing did not order the cavalry to attack. He was still waiting for another battle situation. The 20,000 cavalry only attacked head-only, but this was not his Yang Yuanqing's style. His style was a combination of positive and strange styles. Only frontal attack without surprises complementing each other, and it was difficult to guarantee a great victory.

Just as the Modao Army attacked the Tang camp, in the southwest corner of the Tang camp, a surprise soldier composed of twenty cavalry scouts slowly approached the Tang camp.

The head captain was Xiao Yannian. He and twenty subordinates were all dressed in Tang army cavalry. The only difference was that a white feather was inserted into his helmet.

Hundreds of times he looked at a two-meter-high sentry tower, with sentries swaying faintly on the tower.

Xiao Yannian waved his hand and stopped the cavalry from facing forward. He rode his horse and ran towards the sentry. The sentry had already discovered a cavalry running toward. At this time, the Tang camp was already in chaos, and it was no longer worth fuss about a cavalry running toward.

The sentry raised the military crossbow and aimed at the rushing cavalry, but at this moment, a small black dot appeared in front of him. Without waiting for his reaction, a sharp arrow shot through his head with a "puff!"

There was no scream, and the sentry corpses rolled down from the sentry tower. Xiao Yannian coldly put away his bow and waved his hand to the distance. Four or five soldiers rushed to the sky. They did not ride horses and looked particularly small in the empty fields.

They had only twenty people, so the Tang army in the camp could not find out that they existed. The smaller the target, the better.

At this time, the Tang army had been distracted by the Sui army's attack in the Dongdaying. Almost all the 30,000 Tang troops were concentrated in the Dongdaying. There were only more than a thousand defenders in the southwest corner, and they were sparsely distributed on the defensive line that lasted several miles long.

If hundreds of people appeared in the Sui army, they would definitely be discovered, which would arouse the guards' alertness. The targets of the four or five Sui soldiers were too small and no one would notice them.

Five Sui army scouts worked together and quickly pulled out a spear deployed in the southwest corner. In just a cup of tea, a passage of ten feet wide was opened and the cart surrounding the inner circle was pushed open.

At this time, Xiao Yannian waved his hand again, and the fifteen cavalry behind him rode their horses and rushed to the Tang army camp with everyone.

Their outfits were exactly the same as those of the Tang army, and they were running in the Tang camp. No one would have thought that they were the scouts of the Sui army who had sneaked into the camp.

The sudden killing of the Sui army made the Tang army unprepared. They had no time to demolish the camp, and the Tang army sentries on the periphery had evacuated, which left a hidden danger. If it were Qu Tutong, he would be very clear about this hidden danger.

But for Chang He, who was more mediocre, he did not realize this hidden danger in the midst of the chaotic situation, and King Qi, who had no combat experience, was even more unaware of it. However, for Yang Yuanqing, who had experienced many battles, he was very aware of the existence of this hidden danger and wanted to make full use of him.

Yang Yuanqing used 20,000 cavalry as bait to attract the Tang army to defend Dongying in order to create opportunities for the scout team led by Xiao Yannian.

Twenty Sui army scouts passed through the camp tents and rushed to the east camp. The 30,000 Tang troops were almost densely packed here, and to the east were ten thousand sap soldiers, who were already lined up, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky, and were fighting fiercely with a thousand Modao heavy armored infantry rushing into the camp.

Behind them were eight thousand archers and crossbowmen who retreated, then three thousand cavalry and five thousand swords and shields, and five thousand defenders were scattered in all parts of the camp.

Xiao Yannian saw that no one noticed them. He lowered his order, and everyone rode their horses toward a large tent. Several torches were inserted outside the large tent. Xiao Yannian rode over, pulled out the torches on his side, and threw them onto the large tent.

The big tent was quickly ignited, and twenty Sui cavalry rushed all the way among the dense big tents, constantly throwing the lighting torches at the military tent.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of large tents were lit by fire. The fire became stronger and stronger, gradually connecting into one piece, and the fire began to extend deeper. Wherever the twenty cavalry passed, the large tent was a sea of ​​fire.

The Tang army had noticed them, and a side general led more than a hundred people to fight them. However, Xiao Yannian was not in a hurry and ordered his men to continue setting fire. He turned over and dismounted and inserted thirty arrows on the ground.

He held the bow and knelt halfway, pulled the bow and shot arrows, and the arrows were like beads, and they shot and killed more than a dozen Tang soldiers in a row. The leader's side general was also shot through the throat with an arrow and turned over and fell off the horse.

The remaining Tang army did not dare to step forward. He suddenly shouted and fled in all directions. Xiao Yannian sneered. He turned over the horse and took out a pot of rocket from the horse bag. He carried it on his back. The Sui soldiers followed suit and switched to rockets.

The war horse ran and lit the rockets on the burning tent, and the rockets shot towards the tents in all directions.

When Yang Yuanqing saw the flames of the Tang camp soaring into the sky, he knew that the surprise soldiers had succeeded. The Tang army was in a desperate situation. He immediately ordered his generals: "No need to attack the camp. Everyone leads cavalry to encircle and suppress the defeated soldiers, and earn the merits of the alive prisoners!"

Everyone led the order and each led thousands of cavalry to the periphery. Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered, "The heavy armored soldiers stopped attacking!"

The bell rang, and it was the news that the attack was stopped and the troops were gradually withdrawing. More than 800 heavily armored Mo Dao Army stopped attacking forward and began to gradually retreat.

At this time, there was a sea of ​​fire in the Tang army camp, with flames soaring into the sky, thick smoke rolling, huge flames swallowing the sky, and the hot fire burned 30,000 Tang troops. Before the Sui army could attack, the Tang army was in chaos.

There was not enough safe space in the narrow camp, and the fire had engulfed the entire camp. The morale of the Tang soldiers had collapsed. They rushed to pull out the spears and fled out of the camp. What was greeted was the net of heaven and earth set up by the Sui cavalry.
