The scenery of Guanzhong is magnificent, thick and mellow, and the pen and ink are indescribable. However, Li Luo had no time to watch, so he could only march in a hurry, seizing the day and night, in order to implement the established strategy.

The Tang army moved quickly, and after crossing Weishui in the north, it advanced northeast along the Zhengguo Canal, and while the Yuan army was still a hundred miles away, it was inserted into the open Wuling Plain, and the target was directly at the Wuling Plain Ranch.

While marching, the Tang army dispatched cavalry to collect the war horses in the pasture, and after half a day, more than 10,000 horses were collected.

Wuling was originally a royal mausoleum area of the Han Dynasty, and due to its excellent feng shui, more than a dozen Han Dynasty emperors were buried. Originally, this area was set up as five counties, which is the essence of Guanzhong, and Lingyi is densely populated and full of humanities.

Even in the Jin Dynasty, although Wuling originally moved a lot of Jurchen Meng'an Mouke to settle down, it was also farming and production, and did not destroy the mausoleum area, and the emperor of the Jin Dynasty still had a protective attitude towards the Han and Tang Dynasty mausoleums.

But when it came to Mengyuan, it was very different.

The Mengyuan horse stake, turned the huge Wuling Yuan into pasture, planted grass and raised horses, destroyed cultivated land and irrigation projects, and the original Han and Jurchen people were either reduced to slaves or herdsmen.

The previous ground cemetery building in the mausoleum area has long been gone. Only the occasional stone Weng Zhong and the stone beast can be seen, lonely and poured into the knee-high barren grass, telling the past.

These stone men and stone beasts are lucky, because more stone people and stone beasts, including precious ancient monuments, have been smashed and piled up into the "Ao Bao" of the Mongolian tribe, which is used to worship the gods of the steppe people.

Along the way, Ao Bao made of gravel appeared from time to time, and suddenly stayed out of the plug.

Li Luo's army marched on the Wuling Plain, as if in the grassland, and wandering horses and Mongolian tents could be seen everywhere. Listen carefully, the autumn wind also faintly sends the sound of the grassland horse-head harp.

There are even tents that are unscrupulously and fearlessly erected on the sealed soil of the mausoleum!

Lord Tang was riding on a horse, and seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but sigh sadly, and he was unhappy, and he opened his mouth and said:

The Han family cemetery is used as a pasture,

The stone man is decadent and the horse is Xiao Xiao.

On a bright moon at night,

Listen to Huqin Zhao Ao Bao alone.

The Wuling boy is still there,

Dragon City Flying Generals can also be summoned.

The six armies are puffing up in unison,

Don't snow strange shame and don't sell.

After Li Luo finished groaning, he took out a feather arrow, broke it, and said loudly: "Hu Lu deceives people too much!" Is it tolerable or unbearable! If you don't take revenge, it's like an arrow! ”

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was angry, he turned over and dismounted together, knelt in the dust, and said unevenly: "Your Majesty is angry, the Tartars have insulted the ancestral tomb of the Han family, and the ministers will definitely fight to the death to avenge this blood revenge!" ”

Li Luo pointed to a tall mound with a horsewhip, "This Han Taizu Changling is also!" Yidi built it with tents, hateful and hateful! Come! Destroy the account and kill Hu! ”

"No!" A group of cavalry burst out, galloped to Changling, not far away, ran to the bottom of the mound, dismounted together, drew their swords and rushed to the top of the mound.

However, the Yuan court priest in the tent had already fled when he heard the wind, leaving only a few tents, arrogantly above Liu Bang's Changling Mausoleum, condescending to overlook the wilderness.

The Tang army destroyed the tent and came to reply: "Your Majesty, the Tartars in the tent have fled." ”

Li Luo snorted, "What's the benefit of escaping, I will destroy it sooner or later." ”

In fact, although Li Luo was grateful for what happened to the imperial tomb of the Han Dynasty, it would be nonsense to say how angry he was. This time Long Yan was furious, of course, it was mostly for show. He regarded himself as a hero of the Han family, and of course he had to make a gesture when he encountered this matter, and he must not be indifferent.

It's political correctness, and it has to be done. Kublai Khan's call Li Luo treacherous is not unreasonable.

Wei Sujuan said: "Your Majesty, you are almost on the south bank of the Jing River, and more than ten miles to the east is Jingyang County." ”

Zhu Jaw also said: "Your Majesty, the Tartar cavalry will arrive in most days." ”

Li Luo nodded, "Order, the whole army will speed up and seize the Jingyang Bridge!" ”

The map and terrain of Guanzhong have long been carefully drawn and sent by the spies, and Li Luo knows the geography of Guanzhong well.

According to the military strategy, seizing the Jingyang Bridge is a key.

As soon as the holy decree was issued, the Tang army suddenly began to march rapidly. Some of the rebels who had newly joined the Tang Army couldn't keep up.

Half an hour later, the Tang army marched in a hurry, and finally arrived at the Yangling of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and half an hour later, arrived at the Jingyang Bridge in the south of the Jing River, and the opposite side of the Jing River is Jingyang County.

By this time, the Tang army had already robbed 20,000 war horses from the pasture.

The Tang army immediately followed the established strategy, camped with its back against the Jingyang Bridge, and discharged five miles to cover the Jingyang Bridge.

Immediately afterwards, the 30,000 cavalry of the Tang Army, under the leadership of Hugu and Yelu Zhongjie and others, quickly passed through the Jingyang Bridge and plunged into the Sagashan Mountain more than ten miles away.

Mt. Saga belongs to the line of Beishan, because the Japanese sent Tang envoys to Sagayama to participate in the construction of the Tang Dynasty Chongling, and saw the famous "Saga no Sakura", so they brought back cherry blossoms and planted them in Japan.

At that time, the emperor of Japan, when he heard the description of the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty, also named a mountain Mt. Saga, and thus became known as the Emperor of Saga. As a result, Mt. Saga has become a Chinese surname in Japan, and the cherry blossoms of Japan have also become the national flower.

Speaking of which, it's all because of the Sagayama of Jingyang, Guanzhong. There is also the Yingzhou Terrace built by Taizong of the Tang Dynasty on the Sagashan Mountain, which also influenced the Japanese envoys, and they called themselves Yingzhou after they returned.

It can be said that the influence of Mt. Saga on Japanese culture is great.

The 30,000 cavalry of the Tang army, taking advantage of the fact that the Yuan army had not arrived, crossed the Jing River and hid into the Sagashan Mountains.

Then, Li Luo used the stolen war horse to arm the Guanzhong Righteous Army. The Guanzhong Righteous Army is good at horseback riding, and once they have war horses, although they are not qualified cavalry, they are also more than 20,000 cavalrymen from a distance.

Of course, this is to confuse the Yuan army, so that the Yuan army thinks that the Tang cavalry is still in the Tang army camp and has not hidden in the Sagashan Mountains.

This trick is the time difference.

After more than an hour, the cavalry of the Yuan army finally arrived. When they saw the Tang army camping with their backs to the Jing River, they also felt normal.

The Tang army occupied the Jinghe Bridge, and in their opinion, it was also a sign of leaving a way to retreat, and it was estimated that if the Tang army could not defeat the Dayuan Iron Cavalry, it would retreat to the north of Guanzhong through the Jinghe Bridge.

If the Tang army hadn't seized the Jinghe Bridge and camped on the river, they would have felt strange.

After another half an hour, a thousand troops of the Yuan army roared in, unscrupulously crisscrossing the flanks and fronts of the Tang army, repeatedly harassing them.

Some thousand-man troops, flickering left and right, retreated as soon as they let out a rain of arrows, and then rested their horsepower for a while, completely not giving the Tang army's firearms a chance to attack calmly.

They will never charge head-on again.

The cavalry of the Tang Army, dressed as more than 20,000 Guanzhong Yi Army, could only restrain their horses on the spot, and did not dare to pursue the Yuan cavalry at all.

For the first time, Li Luo really felt the difficulty of the Yuan army's cavalry.

In the south before, he repeatedly broke the cavalry of the Yuan army, but it was nothing more than that the Yuan army was not familiar with the strength of the Tang army's firearms, inducing the Yuan army to charge rashly and pit the Yuan army with firearms.

But now the Yuan army has long learned to be obedient and completely avoid frontal charges. Their team is no longer limited to one direction, but is present in all directions, which makes people look no further.

Ten thousand-man teams took turns to harass, always keeping the Tang Army in a tight defensive formation.

It can be said that only 10,000 cavalry on this plain gave the Tang army a headache.

Li Luo and the generals frowned, watching the cavalry of the Yuan army come and go freely, showing off their might, but they couldn't think about it.

Li Luo couldn't help but be a little worried. If this ploy doesn't work, the battle will be very difficult. I'm afraid that in the end, I will be forced to withdraw from Guanzhong and return to Hanzhong.

Another hour passed, and the horse's hooves in the west were like thunder, and the main cavalry brigade of the Yuan army finally arrived!

"Boom—"

More than 60,000 cavalry galloped like angry waves, and it seemed that the entire Wuling Yuan was trembling, and the momentum was very amazing.

This was the first time Li Luo had faced such a large scale of Mongol cavalry. This is the heavy cavalry group stationed in Guanzhong!

Before Li Luo fought with the king of Yunnan in Hengyang, the king of Yunnan also fought with Timur, and the king of Yunnan had more than 100,000 cavalry, but the real Mongolian cavalry was only 40,000 or 50,000.

And the king of Yunnan also fell into Li Luo's plan to divide the troops, and was broken by Li Luo, at that time, Li Luo faced the cavalry of the king of Yunnan, but only about 100,000, and most of them were Dali cavalry, Tusi cavalry, and Bagan tribal cavalry.

—————

And this time, the 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry of the Yuan army were all Mongolian cavalry!

The same cavalry, Mongolian cavalry, Dali cavalry, Tusi cavalry, and Tubo cavalry cavalry are not the same at all.

In particular, of the 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry, 30,000 were Mongol cavalry. Don't look at Li Luo's so many victories, but he has never fought against more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry once, and the previous maximum was 20,000.

The southern army before the king of Yunnan did not have 30,000 pure Mongol cavalry.

And this battlefield is not a battlefield in the south.

When Brother Hachiya saw that the rebels were camping with their backs to the Jinghe River and controlling the Jinghe Bridge, they couldn't help laughing and said, "Li Luo, a traitor, is really camping by the river!" ”

The generals faced the cavalry and camped by the river and the mountains, of course, the most reliable. Otherwise, it is easy to be attacked by cavalry, and it is difficult to take care of both the head and the tail.

"Hmph, he controls the Hejing River Bridge, and he still wants to leave a way for himself to retreat and retreat to the north of Guanzhong! Orders, flanks and fronts take turns harassing the rebels, leaving them restless for a moment and draining their strength! ”

Hachiya ordered.

"Woo-woo-"

The horn of the Yuan army sounded, and the sixty or seventy thousand cavalry were divided into dozens of units, and from the two wings and the front, they took turns harassing the Tang army. They roared, each time thousands of people were scattered, and the artillery of the Don Army was shooting, and there was no result.

And their direction is erratic, and it is impossible for the artillery to adjust its direction at all times.

Thousands of people from the annoying Yuan army approached from three sides in a scattered manner, and with the help of horse speed, they shot one after another into the Tang army's large array.

The cavalry bow of the Mongolian cavalry was not much worse than the infantry bow, and with the speed of the horse, the firing range was not worse than the infantry bow at all.

And if the Tang army wants to counterattack, firearms can no longer achieve effective results, and a lot of ammunition is consumed in vain. Then you can only rely on bows and arrows to counterattack, but the cavalry of the Yuan army is not only evacuated, but also constantly moving, difficult to aim, and it is difficult for the Tang army's bows and arrows and firearms to be effective.

In order to maintain the formation, the Tang army was not easy to move, and it was necessary to maintain a dense queue, which gave the Yuan army great convenience.

As a result, the Tang army fell into a situation of being passively beaten. In particular, the pikemen who defended the outermost large array were constantly suffering casualties.

To say that the individual combat power of the Tang army is not worse than that of the Mongolian soldiers, and the individual combat power of the veterans of the Tang Army is even stronger than that of the Mongolian soldiers. However, now I can't chase it, I can't fight it, and I can't watch the Yuan army harassing me, and I'm always on guard.

"Bang bang—"

"Whoosh—"

The archers and musketeers behind the pikemen in the front of the Tang army continued to shoot freely, but with little success. At a distance of 100 paces, the accuracy of the firebolt is already very poor, and the lethality of low-density moving targets is worrying, and even if it hits, it is difficult to shoot the enemy after breaking the armor.

And the bows and arrows of the Mongolian cavalry are more reliable at this moment. The Mongol army relied on the world-conquering horse archery technology, which could maintain good accuracy and shooting frequency on high-speed warhorses. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do and learn.

You know, horseback is a second home for the Mongols besides their tents. Mongolians, who began to ride horses and shoot arrows at the age of five, rarely go out to walk, and generally go out on horseback, and they must bring bows and arrows when they go out.

Years of cultivation, mounted archery integrated into their daily life, coupled with the Mongolian people's occasional mounted archery competitions, and the values measured by mounted archery skills, make their riding and archery skills far superior to other races.

Each time, the Yuan army sent thousands of people to harass in turn, seemingly endlessly, while the Tang army was stuck in place, unable to move.

"Boom—"

Zhu Hao, who couldn't bear it, finally gave the order to open fire. Then, although the range of the artillery is sufficient, the lethality of the Yuan cavalry is really limited for the evacuated cavalry.

The Tang army fired several rounds of artillery and consumed a lot of ammunition, but only killed and wounded dozens of Yuan cavalry.

And the Tang army, which was killed and wounded under the arrows of the Yuan army, already had more than 200 people.

The Yuan army harassed the Tang army for more than two hours, and it was not until the sun set that it came to an end.

In this afternoon's disgusting battle, the Yuan army suffered 100 casualties, and the Tang army suffered nearly 300 casualties.

With a three-to-one battle loss, it can be said that the Tang army was defeated!

At night, the cavalry of the Yuan army besieged the Tang army on three sides like jackals, and they could get enough rest. But the Tang army had to be on guard against the cavalry attack of the Yuan army at all times, and had to be highly nervous.

Li Luo, a man who has always won battles, felt the trickiness of the war for the first time.

He now finally realized the pain of Jin Jun and Song Jun.

It's not a question of whether you can beat it, it's a question that you can't beat it. Mobility is not good, there is no initiative on the battlefield.

Truly... It's disgusting.

It took ten days and a half months like this, and even the iron-clad army was exhausted.

It seems that if you want to restore the Central Plains, you really need a large number of cavalry, and you can't rely on firearms with poor mobility alone.

However, today's passivity was also intentional by Li Luo.

I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, so I put it to death and live later.

Li Luo was also not worried about Wen Tianxiang and Chen Shuzhen's two troops and horses. Because they don't have to destroy the Yuan army in the first place, as long as they protect themselves, unlike their own way, they must destroy the Yuan army in Guanzhong.

Wen Tianxiang and Chen Shuzhen have few cavalry, although they have no way to take the Yuan army, but if they want to retreat, the Yuan army will also not be able to stop them.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow, are you going to move eastward and enter Gaoling at the confluence of the two rivers?" Zhu Hao asked.

The second step of the Tang army was to move twenty miles east to Gaoling, where the Jing and Wei rivers meet.

It is surrounded by water on three sides, and only the west is Wulingyuan, which can better defend against the cavalry of the Yuan army.

It is also a tactical confusion.

Li Luo's use of soldiers was treacherous, but it was not given in vain.

"There's no hurry. If the camp is pulled out tomorrow, the Yuan army may not be fooled, at least until the third day, so that the Yuan army can see the helplessness of our army. Li Luo smiled, "What I'm worried about is that the cavalry hidden in the Sagayama Mountains north of the Jing River will be discovered by the Yuan army." ”

Wei Su arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the people and officials of the Yuan Court north of the Jing River have long been evacuated. Mt. Saga was not far from the riverbank, and the cavalry had entered the mountain for only a quarter of an hour, so it should have gone undetected. ”

The Tang army camp is discussing, and the Yuan army camp is also discussing.

The interest of the generals of the Yuan army was very high.

Marshal Azahai cut a piece of roasted brown and tender mutton, stuffed it into his mouth, wiped his grease-stained hands on the braid, poured a large sip of mare's milk wine, and smacked his lips, "Pingzhang official, Li Luo suffered a loss today, and it is estimated that he will cross the bridge and flee to Jingyang tomorrow." ”

"What's the use of him running to Jingyang? Bentang wished he ran to Jingyang. Hachiya stuck a dagger on the mutton and burped.

"Jingyang is in the north, farther away from Hanzhong. He wants to cross the river, so we will besiege him in Jingyang, so that he can't withdraw his troops even if he wants to. ”

Brother Hachiya is indeed not afraid of Li Luo crossing the bridge. Once Li Luo crosses the bridge, he will also cross the bridge, and if the bridge is destroyed again, then Li Luo's retreat will be broken, and it is impossible to retreat to Hanzhong.

Today's battle made him understand that Li Luo looked difficult, but in fact, there was no way to deal with the Great Yuan Iron Cavalry. Li Luo's 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry did not dare to take it out to fight against the Dayuan Iron Cavalry.

Relying on infantry alone, how can Li Luo win?

Whoever is Li Luo, relying on the infantry to fight the cavalry on the plain, he can't win.

There is no solution to this at all.

If you want to blame, blame Li Luo for being too confident.

Hey, I really thought highly of this person before. I knew that I shouldn't have defended the city at Dasan Pass, and I lost a lot of soldiers and horses, so I should have let Li Luo enter the pass generously at the beginning and eliminate Li Luo in a field battle on the plain.

Defending the city, he was passive everywhere, but now as soon as he fights in the field, he becomes active.

"Azahai, this hall wants to apologize to you, what you said is right, you shouldn't defend the city, you should take the initiative to let Li Luo enter Guanzhong." Hachiya said, personally cut a piece of mutton and handed it to Azahai.

The laughter in the big tent of the Yuan army was full of the fragrance of mutton and the strong smell of the body, mixed together, and the Chinese wanted to vomit. Of course, the Mongol generals were willing.

The deputy capital marshal Ta lost his words. He shook his head, his pigtails and the gold rings on his ears swayed with the swaying, and he became more and more vicious and fierce. "Pingzhang officials, if you consume the rebels like this for a few more days, the rebels will collapse, and they will all be slaughtered at that time."

The deputy marshal of the capital also showed a very fierce look, "If you catch Li Luo, you will skin him, dismantle eight pieces, make his head into a wine vessel, and present it to the Great Khan." ”

Du Lan, a cowardly guard from Dadu, said with a smile: "As soon as Li Luo is destroyed, our army will take advantage of the victory to go south and destroy the pseudo-Tang." I heard that Li Luo's woman, Cui, is a rare beauty in the world, and when the time comes, I want to be the first to taste it. ”

The Mongolian generals laughed together when they heard this, and they were overjoyed. Dulan has always been lustful, and the house also raised a lama who taught him to practice the Great Joy Gong.

Let him concoct Li Luo's pseudo-queen, but he is a good candidate.

Several people talked about it recklessly, as if Li Luo was vulnerable and was already a fish on the chopping board.

It's not to blame them for being overconfident. From a military point of view, Li Luo's lone army went deep and indeed fell into an extremely unfavorable situation.

It seems impossible to turn over. And every day of delay is more beneficial to Dayuan.

The autumn wind in September is mighty, galloping on the Wuling Plain, making the Hanjialing area, which has become a pasture, extremely sad.

The Tang army and the Yuan army were far away from each other, and the killing intent was overwhelming, which seemed to make the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was buried deep underground, couldn't help but worry about the situation of the Tang army.

On the second day, the Yuan army repeated its old tricks and continued to launch endless attacks and harassment tactics, which made the Tang army unbearable, but helpless.

The Tang army could only put up a defensive formation and return fire with bows and arrows and firearms. The Yuan army was afraid that the Tang army was powerful in firearms, and it never dared to charge, and even did not dare to send more men and horses to increase the intensity.

At the end of the day, the Tang army suffered hundreds of casualties, and the Yuan cavalry also suffered hundreds of casualties.

Looking at the exchange ratio, it is still the Tang Army that suffers.

Moreover, the Yuan army saw that the firearms of the Tang army were difficult to work, and they became more and more arrogant, and their morale became higher and higher.

The officers and men of the Tang Army had already received orders, and they deliberately put on a state of declining morale, even if they shouted to kill, which was also a lot smaller.

"Hahaha!" In the camp of the Yuan army, Marshal Azahai laughed loudly, "The morale of the rebels is no longer good, and their poor cowardly cavalry does not dare to take it out for a decisive battle!" If the rebels continue to be consumed like this, even if Mu Huali comes to fight, they will not be able to defeat us! ”

Mu Huali is recognized as a peerless famous general of the Great Mongolian State. When Azahai said this, of course, he thought that Li Luo was inferior to Mu Huali.

In the Tang army camp at night, Li Luo finally gave the order to "retreat" to Gaoling tomorrow.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"

Early the next morning, the horn of the Tang army whined and blew, and the army pulled out the camp together, with three pins of words, guarding the horns slowly to the east, moving along the Jing River.

"The rebels have moved!"

The cavalry of the Yuan army immediately followed together, and the Tang army was not far away. Although the Yuan army was in the initiative, it did not dare to rush forward, and still not only harassed.

The Tang army maintained its formation, moving slowly while counterattacking.

At this time, the quality of the Tang Army's long-term hard training was vividly and vividly reflected. They were organized by the samurai in an orderly manner and did not show flaws. And the rebels disguised as the cavalry of the Tang Army were in the middle of the big array.

On the Wuling Plain, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on both sides moved together, and the scene was spectacular.

"The rebels are going to retreat to the confluence of the two rivers!" Brother Hachiya immediately judged Tang Jun's intentions, "This is indeed a solution, it is surrounded by water on three sides, which restricts the movement of the Great Yuan Iron Cavalry. ”

Brother Ha Chiya was not in a hurry at all, he squinted his eyes and sneered, "Li Luo is also a famous general, it is normal for him to think of this step, but what is the use of that?" It's just a matter of struggling for a few more days. ”

Indeed, Li Luo's approach treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and cannot completely change the passive situation.

At a distance of twenty miles, the Tang army walked for three hours before coming to the narrow triangle at the confluence of the two rivers. This is Gaoling.

The Tang army came to a stop at the confluence of the two rivers.

Behind it is the river, with the river on both the north and south sides, and only the plain on the west.

Here, it is indeed possible to defend against the attack tactics of the Yuan army to a great extent.

However, the distance between the two rivers was still several miles wide, and the terrain was still flat, which was still conducive to cavalry.

In particular, the location of the Yuan army was five or six miles wide, which was enough to besiege the Tang army.

Although the situation of the Tang army was temporarily improved, it could not get rid of the situation of being surrounded by cavalry.

For a time, the two sides confronted each other.

Soon, the sun set again.

"Just like that, the rebels were trapped in Wulingyuan. As long as the rebels do not move, our army will not move. As soon as the rebels moved, our army attacked them, exhausted them with their lives, and tired from them. In ten days at most, the Hedong army will arrive, and Li Luo will definitely be defeated at that time. Hachiya said.

The Mongol generals all nodded.

That's right. The situation of the two armies has reached this point, and it is already very clear. It can be said that Dayuan has won the battle. Although the rebels suffered only a few hundred casualties, they could not last long at all.

And they have one person and two horses, and they are on the periphery, there is a constant supply of food and grass, and they can rest well, even if they can afford to spend a month, the rebels can't afford to spend it.

I can't sleep well for a few days, you try.

If it rains, it's even worse.

On this night, the cavalry of the Yuan army was stationed three miles west of the Tang army, besieging the Tang army unscrupulously.

It's a cramped place. If the Tang army approached with firearms, they would retreat, and when they retreated to an open place, they would use the tactics of attacking from three sides to force the Tang army back.

Even if the Tang army did not retreat to Gaoling and retreated westward with firearms, in order to maintain the formation, the speed was as slow as a snail, and it would take ten days to withdraw from Wulingyuan.

Then the rebels will collapse and will collapse without a fight. By that time, the Hedong army had already crossed the Yellow River.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to have been won.

Therefore, the big tent of the Yuan Army, the atmosphere tonight is even more enthusiastic, until the bright moon hangs high, and the generals are still eating meat and drinking.

The Mongols are good drinkers, and as long as they are not drunk, they do not prohibit alcohol in the army. Mare's milk wine was originally their military ration, and they were full and thirsty.

Just when they were enjoying themselves because of the victory, suddenly a detective horse rushed into the big tent with a panicked look.

"Pingzhang officials, the rebels of Wuguan Dao have broken through Lantian Pass, and their troops are divided into two routes, all the way to Fengyuan (Chang'an), all the way to attack Tongguan!"

Brother Hachiya was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned ugly. But then his expression was a little dark, "What are you panicking about?" That's the rebel division, even if they take Fengyuan and Tongguan, can they still hold it? ”

He wasn't in a hurry. The city of Fengyuan is strong, and it is guarded by tens of thousands of Kelqin troops, which is not so easy to fight.

Although it was easy to attack Tongguan from Guanzhong, the rebels took Tongguan to prevent the Kwantung Yuan army from entering the Guanzhong. But he doesn't count on the Kwantung army now, because the Kwantung army wants to deal with Wen Tianxiang. He was counting on the Hedong Army.

It can be said that it is indeed not a good thing for the rebels to enter Guanzhong, but the rebels are also infantry-based, and it is difficult to change Li Luo's fate.

However, before Brother Hachiya's words fell, another Tanma entered the big tent with a panicked look.

"Pingzhang official! A large group of rebel cavalry suddenly appeared in the west, numbering no less than tens of thousands, and had already rushed over! ”

What the!

Brother Hachiya was shocked that the dagger that cut the mutton was not grasped steadily, and he stood up suddenly.

"Dog minion! What nonsense are you talking about! Say it well! ”

The tanma repeated: "Tens of thousands of rebel cavalry suddenly rushed out of the Jinghe Bridge, and they will arrive soon!" ”

In fact, there was no need for him to be verbose at this time, because Brother Hachiya had already heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.

What's going on? Aren't the rebel cavalry always in the army?

Those cavalrymen have been there!

Where did the rebels conjure up tens of thousands of cavalry and hide in the north of the Jing River?

Brother Hachiya can do Pingzhang, how can he be stupid? He quickly understood.

"Li Luo used the stolen pasture war horses to pretend to be cavalry with infantry! His cavalry has long been hidden in the mountains north of the Jing River! We have fallen for Li Luo's trick! Fast! Command to meet the enemy! ”

Brother Hachiya ordered in shock and anger. He kept staring at Li Luo in the east, and he didn't think that something had happened in the west.

In the west, he did not arrange probe horses, but he never expected that the rebels had already quietly hidden tens of thousands of cavalry in the north of the Jing River. No wonder Li Luo camped at Jinghe Bridge before, it turned out to be to cover up this! By the time Tanma found out, it was too late.

"Wow!"

The generals rushed out. Immediately after, the sound of a whining horn pierced the night sky.

In fact, there was no need to give an order, the Mongolian cavalry heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the west, and spontaneously rushed out of the camp and rushed to the war horses. The response was not immediate.

Listening to the sound, the cavalry of the rebel brigade was several miles away, and it was already dangerous.

The cavalry faced the infantry attack very calmly, and it was a big deal to get on the horse and retreat. But in the face of enemy cavalry, it was a different matter.

Because there is a horse speed gap!

If a war horse wants to gallop to the best speed, it needs to sprint for several miles, and the horse is in the best condition. If the distance is too short and the horse speed is not enough, where can you hedge against the enemy cavalry?

When the cavalry of the Yuan army woke up from their sleep, and then stepped on the war horse, they saw a large area of Tang cavalry under the moonlight, discharging a formation several miles wide, coming from the mountains and seas, and the momentum was extremely amazing.

It's less than a mile away. This distance was coming in a blink of an eye, and the Yuan cavalry could not sprint to the optimal speed.

"Boom—"

The 30,000 cavalry composed of the Jurchens, the Khitans, the Dangxiang, the Tubo, and the Qiang, led by Hugu and Yelu Zhongjie and others, rushed with long weapons in their hands, and it was cold under the moonlight, and even the earth was trembling.

Such a majesty, even the Mongolian cavalry saw it and felt frightened.

Who said that the cavalry of the Don Army was not good?

Hachiya found that Da Yuan had been underestimating the rebels' firearms before, resulting in many losses. This time he did not underestimate the rebel firearms, but underestimated the rebel cavalry!

"Boom-", the Tang cavalry collided with the Yuan cavalry who had just mounted their horses. The first thing the cavalry of the Yuan army ushered in was a whistling hand axe.

The cavalry of the Yuan army suddenly turned on their backs!

At this moment, suddenly there was the sound of whining trumpets and war drums in the east.

Li Luo, who had been ready for a long time, got the news of the cavalry charge and finally gave the order for a general attack.

The mules, drawn by the cannons, drawn by the pikemen, approached long-along. For the sake of speed, the Tang army has abandoned the slow-moving defensive formation and attacked quickly.

Three miles, two and a half miles, two miles!

Just when the cavalry of the Tang Army and the cavalry of the Yuan Army in the west were fighting, the artillery of the Tang Army finally roared.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Hundreds of artillery pieces adjusted their firing range, covering a range of about two miles, and bombarded the Yuan cavalry in the east.

The cavalry of the Yuan army was one mile thick, but it was flanked by the east and west.

The Yuan army in the west had already started a fierce horse battle with the Tang cavalry who rushed into the formation. Their proud cavalry was unable to fight at this time because of the hand-to-hand combat between the two armies, so they could only fight with the Mongol scimitar.

All of a sudden, I suffered a blood loss!

Because Li Luo knew that no matter how much the Tang cavalry was trained, it could not reach the cavalry level of the Mongolian cavalry, so he mainly trained horse combat charges.

The horse fighting skills of the cavalry of the Tang Army, after a long and scientific hard training, have been difficult to meet opponents. Especially after the hard training in the Songpan grassland, the combat power is even better.

The white-bladed skills of the Mongolian cavalry are actually very strong. Compared with the cavalry of the Tang Army, it is obviously inferior.

In addition, the cavalry of the Tang Army had the advantage of horse speed, and even if the Mongolian cavalry fought back desperately, they were defeated and retreated, suffering heavy casualties.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Yuan Army in the east suffered the baptism of the Tang Army's firearms. Large tracts of grapes bombarded the dense cavalry ranks of the Yuan army, bringing a large number of casualties at every moment.

If there was no Tang cavalry in the west to block the Yuan army, then the Tang army in the east would not have had a chance to get close to the Yuan army to bombard. But at the moment, the western passage of the Yuan army was blocked, and it could not distance itself from the firearms soldiers who were pressing up from the east, and could only withstand the ferocious firearms attack.

This is the tactic of "using the river as a cage and attacking from east to west" formulated by Li Luo himself. He put himself in the shoes of the Yuan army, and guided the Yuan army step by step to unconsciously enter the dead end, and then Ji Tailai and the Jedi counterattacked.

"Kill!"

"Mordoga!"

On the cold Wuling Plain, under the miserable white moonlight, the sound of shouting and killing, screaming, the impact of weapons, the neighing of war horses, and the bombardment of artillery and firearms were intertwined into one, and the sound reached more than ten miles.

Extremely tragic.

It was night, and there was only moonlight and the lights in the tent. But the Tang Army has been training for night battles, so it is even more advantageous.

Under the furious rush of the Tang cavalry in the west and the firearm bombardment of the Tang Dynasty in the east, the Yuan army was densely trapped in a small space, with a lot of casualties.

Their war horses could not break through the bombardment of the Tang army's firearms at all. Every decisive charge that the Yuan army stopped, they were heavily killed and wounded by the ferocious firearms.

"Boom—"

"Bang bang bang—"

After the last round of firearm bombardment, the Don infantry finally launched a full-scale charge.

Spearmen, archers, sword and shield soldiers, rebels, and firearms men with bayonets all rushed forward. The warriors of the Tang Army, who were full of martial arts thoughts, were particularly fierce, and they all rushed forward bravely, killing the always arrogant Mongolian warriors with strong white-edged combat skills.

To say that the Tang Army's individual white-edged combat skills are definitely the world's first-class strong soldiers. The Tang Army's recruitment conditions for recruiting recruits were already strict, the food and treatment were good, and the long-term and rigorous training made ordinary soldiers brave and brave.

With the flanking attack of the Eastern and Western Tang armies, the Yuan army finally collapsed completely. In the end, it was reduced to a situation of being besieged and killed.

There is really no most ruthless, only more ruthless.

The Mongolian warriors, who had always thought themselves invincible in the world, once they lost their galloping horses, their ten-stop combat strength went to seven stops.

However, the Mongol soldiers still showed the quality of individual soldiers who were superior to the traitor army, and they were stubborn and stubborn in their fearlessness, fighting on their own, desperately wielding scimitars to counterattack, and crazy like wild beasts.

"Woo Hehuning!" Pingzhang Hachiyage, as well as Mongol generals such as Azahuan, Ta Lost, Cha Gang, and Dulan, led Goshke (personal guards) to fight in person, and let out an unwilling roar in despair.

However, the tide has turned, and the resistance is futile.

In the end, the cavalry of the Tang Army also dismounted and fought on foot, slashing and killing.

The tragic battle lasted for half an hour, and nearly 70,000 yuan of cavalry, sadly gave up cavalry and hand-to-hand combat with the Tang army, which had a numerical advantage, and the result can be imagined.

"Great Khan! Slaves are guilty! I'm sorry Khan! Hachiya shouted that his guards were all dead, and he was still fighting with a knife in his sixty-year-old body.

With a "poof", a Tang Army warrior pounced fiercely, and after a few knives, he killed Brother Hachiya.

After being wounded several times, he was also killed by the mace of a Tang cavalryman. Ta Shi and Du Lan and others were also killed one after another.

Soon after, nearly 70,000 troops were annihilated, except for more than 10,000 people who abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Of the more than 50,000 troops killed in this battle, more than 10,000 died in the artillery fire of the Tang Army, and more than 30,000 died in white-knuckle battles.

And the casualties of the Tang army were also staggering.

The greatest casualties were the rebels.

More than 20,000 rebels who had not yet been reorganized suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

More than 4,000 cavalry casualties and more than 9,000 infantry casualties. The casualties of the Tang army alone amounted to 14,000. If you add the rebels, the casualties are as high as 25,000!

Relying on the advantage of firearms, and letting the Yuan army be tricked, outwitted, but still paying the price of 25,000 casualties, I have to say that the Tang army was not easy to win.

The individual combat power and fighting will of the Northern Yuan Army should never be underestimated. In particular, the vast majority of the Mongol soldiers fought to the death and did not surrender.

The more than 10,000 troops who surrendered, almost all of them were Tanma Red Army. The surrendered Mongol soldiers, only a little more than a thousand.

However, although more than 20,000 casualties were paid in this battle, the cavalry of the Guanzhong Yuan Army was neatly eliminated, and only tens of thousands of traitors remained, which was no longer a concern.

It can be said that the Guanzhong Yuan Army, as a strategic heavy army group, no longer exists.

In addition, the Tang army also captured more than 100,000 war horses, plus the war horses of Wulingyuan Ranch, the Tang army harvested 160,000 intact war horses!

Gaoling's victory meant that Guanzhong did not have any forces to stop the Tang army.

Li Luo repaired in Gaoling for a day, buried and sacrificed the fallen soldiers, treated the wounded, and ordered the general Shen Huahua to lead Liu Weitai and other generals overnight to march west with 10,000 soldiers and horses, seize Xiao Pass, and prevent the Ganliang Yuan army from entering Guanzhong.

The next day, Li Luo crossed Weishui and led an army of 70,000 to Fengyuan (Chang'an)!
