Li Shimin concentrated on commanding the army and wanted to break the shell of the trapped camp, but he far underestimated the combat power of the trapped camp.
The equipment of the trapped camp is several times that of the Liang army. In addition, the soldiers are well-trained and have extremely tenacious fighting will. In the case of a three-to-five formation, even if there is no general to command, they can still fight against three or four times their own strength.
of enemies.
Anyway, Li Shimin tried all his methods, but he still couldn't break through the defense of the trapped camp. He could only place his hope on Li Keyong and Zhang Xutuo.
"Report, General Jia Fu broke out from the Longmen Formation."
Li Shimin hurriedly went to greet him and saw Jia Fu's pale face, not understanding that he was seriously injured.
When Jia Fu saw Li Shimin coming, he looked ashamed and said: "The last general is incompetent. He was defeated by Jiang Song and embarrassed our army."
After hearing this, Li Shimin was briefly shocked, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Li Shimin still knew Jiang Song. Although he was not well-known before, he had fought to a draw with Yuwen Chengdu, and that battle also made Jiang Song famous.
Although Jia Fu is not Yuwen Chengdu's opponent, if the two of them want to decide the winner, they will probably need 300 rounds.
But this time Jia Fu faced Jiang Song, why was he defeated so quickly? Has Jiang Song become stronger again? Or...
Li Shimin did not directly express his doubts. After all, it would be chilling to doubt one's own generals for no reason on the battlefield. Moreover, Jia Fu's injuries cannot be faked.
Jia Fu seemed to have noticed Li Shimin's doubts, and immediately explained: "General, before Jiang Song fought with the last general, he had already fought with General Yuanba. Although he failed to hurt General Yuanba, he still couldn't hurt him."
General Yuanba was knocked away with one shot, which shows that Jiang Song must have broken through after the battle with General Yuwen, and the general underestimated his strength."
"What? Jiang Song can actually take Yuan Ba flying?"
Li Shimin's eyes widened immediately. Others don't know Li Yuanba's strength. How can his elder brother not know?
Jiang Song can knock Yuan Ba flying with one shot, and his strength is definitely higher than that of Yuwen Chengdu. No wonder he can defeat Jia Fu so quickly.
Li Shimin thought to himself, and immediately stopped doubting this matter. After all, anything could happen on the battlefield.
Looking at the annoyed Jia Fu, Li Shimin comforted him with kind words: "General Jia Fu, don't worry about it. If you lose this time, you will lose. Just win it back next time..."
Jia Fu shook his head silently, as if he had looked away from it, but Li Shimin knew it would not be so fast!
"Second brother, second brother..."
Li Shimin turned around and saw Li Yuanba running from a distance. At this time, Li Yuanba's armor on his upper body was almost completely shattered, his skin was bruised and purple, and there was a hideous blood mark on his stomach. He looked extremely embarrassed.
Li Shimin looked like he had seen a ghost and said in shock: "Yuanba, you are so seriously injured? Who else in the coalition forces can hurt you besides Li Cunxiao?"
Li Yuanba showed an aggrieved expression and said with a sad face: "Second brother, Yuanba defeated a mace and a nigger, and then they only bullied one of me..."
Li Yuanba's ability to express himself was limited, and most people might not be able to understand what he was saying, but Li Shimin could still make a rough guess and roughly understand what was going on in the Longmen Formation.
"Xue Rengui transferred all the guards of the ten gates. So at this time, there are no guards in the ten gates of Longmen?"
A flash of light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said with excitement: "After Li Keyong and Zhang Xutuo know this, they will definitely launch an attack on the Longmen Formation itself. The Longmen Formation without generals will be overwhelmed. Even Xue Rengui will be unable to do so."
Prevent our army from destroying the catapult."
Li Shimin's guess was correct. After Zhang Xutuo's Li Keyong detoured to both sides of the Longmen Formation, he found that although the formation was constantly changing, there was no general guarding the formation gate, so they decisively launched an attack on the Longmen Formation from outside.
"Fire arrows...the cavalry charges...the sword and shield bearers follow closely..."
While commanding the army to attack, Li Keyong observed the changes in the Longmen Formation. When the troops at the entrance of the formation were cleared by him, he finally discovered a direct route to the center.
"Reinforcements from the coalition forces will come over at any time. With Zhang Xutuo in charge of the attack, it is enough to make this formation collapse. I should go as soon as possible to destroy the catapult convoy."
A gleam flashed in Li Ke's eagle eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he sneered: "This greatest contribution belongs to me, Li Ke."
"The whole army listens to my order and kills..."
On the other side, after repelling Li Yuanba, Xue Rengui and other generals were just about to deal with the scattered Liang troops in the formation. However, Zhang Xutuo and Li Keyong cooperated internally and externally, and finally the Longmen formation was overwhelmed and collapsed completely.
There were less than 5,000 coalition soldiers left, and they were entangled with the Liang army, which was several times their own size. We were among you, and you were among me, and they fought in an extremely chaotic manner.
Seeing that the Longmen Formation had collapsed, Xue Rengui also gave up his plan to return to the center of the formation to command. After all, any command was useless at this time. He could only fight in the most primitive way to buy as much time as possible.
The numerical gap between the two sides was too great. After the coalition forces lost the support of their formation, the number of injured soldiers was also increasing. If this continued, the entire army would probably be annihilated in less than an hour.
But even so, Xue Rengui still did not order a retreat. Although the two sides were entangled and could not withdraw at all, Xue Rengui was betting that reinforcements would arrive within an hour.
If the reinforcements did not arrive within a short period of time, with the strength of Xue Rengui and other generals, they would definitely be able to fight their way out of the army, but the 10,000-strong army and the catapult convoy would all be annihilated.
"Report, Li Keyong used his troops to attack the outer position of the stone-throwing convoy."
"What?"
Xue Rengui's eyes widened immediately. Although he had expected this moment, it was still difficult for him to accept it when it actually arrived.
"Ran Min, Gongsun Xuanyuan, Yin Zhou, you and the other three will resist here. General Jiang Song and I will go to guard the catapult convoy."
In an instant, Xue Rengui made the best and correct arrangement and led Jiang Song and hundreds of soldiers towards the stone-throwing convoy.
When Xue Rengui arrived, Li Keyong had just arrived and had already ordered soldiers to start destroying it.
Destruction is always easier than construction, and soon nearly a hundred catapults were destroyed, which made Xue Rengui and Jiang Song furious.
The main reason why Xue Rengui set up the Longmen Formation was to protect the catapult convoy. Now Li Keyong ordered the destruction of the catapult pair. This was equivalent to all the previous efforts being wasted, so how could Xue Rengui and Jiang Song not be angry?
"Li Keyong, you are seeking death."
Jiang Song's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he rode straight towards Li Keyong with a gun. Although even if he killed Li Keyong at this time, it would be difficult to stop Liang's army from destroying him, but Jiang Song would be really angry if he didn't kill him.
