(Girls' Literature)

Yin Ziqi closed his eyes tiredly, he no longer had the extra energy to speculate on all kinds of dirty things about the political disputes in the Luoyang court. An Qingxu used the solemnity that was trusted by An Lushan, and there may be some unspeakable reasons, he is now leading the troops, and there is no way to exert influence on An Qingxu.

Zhong Ruhai saw his rare irritability, so he planned to comfort him.

"I heard that Ashina Xianggong will go to Fanyang, he will definitely be captured, Shi Siming will not be alive for a few days, what else can the general worry about at that time? Your Majesty is not in the right position, the people of the world will scold if they want to, the military power is in hand, who dares to rebel, crushed into powder, why should you be afraid of a few mouths that hurt people......

Yin Ziqi still closed his eyes and recuperated, he didn't bother to explain to this somewhat upright Zhong Ruhai, what he was really worried about was Ashina Chengqing. If there is no Ashina Chengqing in charge, it is strange that An Qingxu alone does not toss the black smoke miasma of the imperial court. Moreover, he is not optimistic about Ashina Chengqingbei's errand to seize Shi Siming's military power, after all, Shi Siming has followed An Lushan for many years, and before he started the army, he had a position above 10,000 people in the Youyan Army, and his old department was all over Hebei, and a slight accident This is the move of a moth to the fire!

Such a sinister struggle to the death is more cruel and unpredictable than the battle.

"Okay, don't think about Luoyang, Luoyang has its own courtiers to share your Majesty's worries. Go back early to rest, and defeat Tang Bing with enough spirit is the most important thing at the moment!"

Hearing that there was a battle, Zhong Ruhai's eyes lit up.

"The general is going to attack Xin'an tomorrow?"

Yin Ziqi felt that Zhong Ruhai didn't seem to listen to what he said, and couldn't help laughing twice.

"It's still early to attack Xin'an, and if you don't wipe out the people and horses in Changshi Township, you will face the situation of being attacked on your back. Tomorrow, if the troops do not move, send scouts to survey the terrain and the layout of the Tang soldiers in detail, and the surrounding fifty miles of major events and small affairs are clear, it is time to strike a blow!"

Yin Ziqi has always been ruthless to people, with the exception of Zhong Ruhai, who once saved his life when he fought against the Khitans. It is for this reason that no matter where he leads the troops, he always takes Zhong Ruhai with him and has been promoted repeatedly, and now he has the errand of commanding the Ma Army, and his status in the army as a deputy general is also quite high.

It's a pity that this person has average talents, sees problems, thinks things too simply, and has no ability to gain a foothold in complex internal struggles. Fortunately, he was extremely brave and loyal in battle, and as his lieutenant general, he was able to make the best use of his command.

Zhong Ruhai raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.

"The Tang soldiers I met today are also strange, do you want to defend the city well, why do you send a group of men and horses to put them outside?"

Yin Ziqi opened his eyes and patiently explained:

"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent. According to the city, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and we have to do it as a last resort. If the strength of the attacking and defending sides is equal, or if the defender is far stronger than the attacker, it is best to put a team of men outside the city to echo it. ”

This truth is still simple, but anyone who has led the army for many years is basically very clear. However, it is not surprising that Zhong Ruhai does not know, the Tang Dynasty has always been extremely strong, and few people take the initiative to attack. They have always attacked the Khitans and other tribes in the mountains, forests and grasslands in Youyan. These tribes never build cities and are on the move all year round, so the Youyan border army is best at field warfare.

Having said so much, Yin Ziqi finally had to tell Zhong Ruhai that from now on, the Shenwu army in front of them was by no means the rabble they had encountered in the past, and they had to use their strength to fight for their lives against the Khitans in order to achieve the final victory.

Although Yin Ziqi is impressed by the Shenwu Army, he is by no means pessimistic, on the contrary, he is still very confident, as long as a strong enough strength crushes the past, no matter how strong the Shenwu Army is, it is not copper-skinned and iron-clad, and it has to drink water and eat, the longer the time drags on, the disadvantage is the Shenwu Army.

Xin'an is less than 100 miles away from Luoyang, but it is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the supply of grain, grass and ordnance can not keep up, which will make it fall to the brink of collapse.

Yin Ziqi even secretly thought to himself, if he sent a strange army to cross the Bears Ears Mountain and go to the west of Xin'an Guancheng to cut off the back road of the Shenwu Army, whether this strategy was feasible would have to wait for further planning after checking the terrain.

……

This night was too unpeaceful, an ordinary night attack battle was almost killed by the main general, although Yang Zhen was brought back by hundreds of remnants of the soldiers, but he was injured by many arrows, and he didn't want to return to the battlefield in a short time. Yang Xingben was very worried, for fear that this unexpected defeat would affect the morale of the army.

However, it wasn't until after breakfast, when the army went out to exercise normally, that he found that he was thinking too much. Not only did the morale of the officers and men in the army not be depressed because of last night's defeat, but they rolled up their arms and sleeves one by one, and they had a posture of revenge in the war.

This is what Yang Xing originally wanted, he has always believed that as long as the morale of the army is high, there is no battle that cannot be won.

Thinking about it, Pei Si, who was fully dressed in iron armor, walked over.

"The last general is ready, just wait for the general's order!"

Yang Xingben saw that he was full of energy, and his eyes were full of confidence, so he couldn't help but nodded, and only explained:

"Half an hour later. Remember, remember to be impetuous, Yin Ziqi is not a good opponent!"

"Don't worry, the general has instructed him more than a dozen times, and the general's ears are about to grow calluses. ”

This is the first time Pei Si has led the troops alone, and he is also very concerned and nervous in his heart, but in order not to make Yang Xingben look down on himself, he just pretends to be relaxed.

According to Yang Xingben's plan, today's raid on the rebel camp again is also in the nature of an attack, and there is no need for any specific results, as long as the rebels are in tension all the time. Of course, by the way, I also avenged Yang Zhen for last night's revenge.

The distance between the two armies was about seven or eight miles, and if it weren't for a high pass in the middle, the two sergeants could see each other standing at the gate of the courtyard. However, the terrain east of Xin'an is complex and the vegetation is flourishing. Therefore, although the distance is close, it is far from being comparable to the plains.

In fact, the two armies are so close to each other, as long as the army is out of the gate, it is likely to be detected by the other party, Pei Si sat on the horse and walked extremely carefully at every step, in case he fell into the ambush circle set up by the rebels like Yang Zhen again, how should he choose, whether to fight or to go?

Choose the former, and die for life. Choose the latter, and defeat the battle the first time you lead the army alone?

Under the battle between heaven and man, Pei Si was very conflicted, and he suddenly felt that the errand he took over was a hot potato at all. The rebels must have been ready at this time, just crashing headlong into it, the odds of victory are extremely low, and they can't see any merit in Yang Xingben's plan at all, it is better to defend themselves according to the battalion, the enemy does not move, I do not move!

"Report! After the pass, the rebels are waiting for you!"

After getting the report, Pei Si's heart suddenly beat twice. It seems that the previous guess was correct, and the other party had been prepared early in the morning and was waiting for him to hit his head.

"Infantry archers are ready to engage at any time!"

When the military order was issued, the whole army immediately changed from a marching column to a battle formation, and the archers also took off the longbow from their backs, held it in their hands, and stood by at any time.

The rebels have moved, and they are about to rush to the pass. ”

Pei Si's heart moved, it seems that the rebels also know very well that in broad daylight, at such a close distance, all means of ambush are meaningless, and the scout is not blind!

"Can't let them occupy the pass, the front battalion is marching in a hurry, be sure to grab the pass!"

Whoever grabs the pass first is equivalent to choking the key to the battlefield, condescending, offensive and defensive. Moreover, according to Pei Si's judgment, after the rebels occupied the pass, eighty percent of them would use their geographical advantages to force a surprise attack by the whole army. This first move must not fall into the hands of the rebels!

The advantage of the Shenwu Army's well-trained forces began to be highlighted at this time, and even in the rapid movement, the battalions still quickly deployed their attack formations and rushed towards the pass at the fastest speed.

"Drums, Trumpets!",

As soon as the war was about to break out, Pei Si's face was flushed with excitement, and he even replaced the stubborn defense and personally beat the snare drum more than one person high. Every time he struck the snare drum, the soldiers in the array shouted a word of killing in unison, and after a while, the sound of shouting and killing echoed in the mountains everywhere, wave after wave, and it lasted for a long time.

There was a distance of at least three miles on both sides of this bare pass, enough for twenty or thirty thousand people to spread out, and the Shenwu army and the rebels rushed to the pass almost at the same time. The distance between the two sides was about a stone's throw away, and the rain of arrows rose sharply from both sides and fell on each other, which was destined to be a hard-fought battle.

Kill, kill, kill!

Every wave of arrows that rain down will splash a wave of blood, but the two sides are even more murderous, shouting and rushing forward!

At this time, Pei Si had already returned the drumstick to the special soldier, and only stared at the battlefield, and made adjustments at any time. In fact, in addition to being good at guarding, the Shenwu Army also has a training-focused project, that is, array field warfare.

A large number of foot soldiers fought against each other in the field, and what they fought for was not simply combat effectiveness and bravery, but which side's formation would be maintained intact until the end, and which side would show signs of collapse first, and what was waiting for them would be solved in a thousand miles.

Now is the time to test the results of the Shenwu Army's ordinary training, but Pei Si is still a little worried, after all, the Shenwu Army rarely fights the rebels in the field, what should he do if there is an unexpected situation? He even hated his own character of being afraid of wolves and tigers, although he pretended to be fearless and reckless on the surface, in fact, he cared more about victory or defeat than anyone else.

But soon, his apprehension was thrown out of the clouds, and the Shenwu army and the rebel army collided together like two mudslides. The previous rounds of arrow rain almost had almost no blocking effect except for attrition on the opponent!
