The soldiers of the first battalion, under the leadership of Zhao Kuangyin, accelerated towards the Tang camp, and the banner was hunting in the winter wind, and it was found by the Tang army sentry from a distance, and the horn sounded to warn the whole battalion.

On the Tang army's side, Guo Tingwei, the regimental training envoy, and He Yanxi, the capital supervisor, quickly got up on their own military couches and went to the front of the camp to check the situation.

He Yanxi got up a little angrily, and went to the sentry tower to find that Guo Tingwei was looking at Zhao Kuangyin's army who was arrayed more than a mile away to challenge Zhao Kuangyinjun with a little doubt.

Seeing He Yanxi, Guo Tingwei introduced him: "The Han army is about four or five hundred people, there is no horse army, and the banner book 'Zhao' should be Zhao Kuangyin stationed at the vortex!" ”

"These Han troops attacked last night and came to provoke again this morning. Even with hundreds of people, dare to come and touch my tiger whiskers? Looking down, He Yanxi suddenly said disdainfully, with anger: "I took two thousand pawns and annihilated them!" ”

"He Dujian, let's take a look again, look at these Han troops, what is the purpose?" Guo Tingwei is a middle-aged general, although his reputation is not obvious, he has also experienced many wars, and he has always been calm and moderate.

"Guo Yuanjun won't be frightened by the Han cavalry camp last night, right?" He Yanxi, with the arrogance of a literati, said with slight contempt: "If you don't dare, defend the camp by yourself, and I will lead the troops to solve the problem of Zhao Kuangyin!" ”

After that, ignoring Guo Tingwei's contemplative expression, he immediately ordered people to gather more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in several battalions, open the camp gate, and rush towards the Han army with great momentum.

And a mile away, seeing that Tang Ying moved, especially when he saw the big banner with the word "He", Zhao Kuangyin immediately laughed and sniffed hard: "A mile away, I seem to be able to smell the aroma of rice in Tang Ying......"

Zhao Kuangyin came stuck in time, disturbing the Tang camp, at this time, the Tang soldiers had no time to eat. The emperor did not send hungry soldiers, and the Tang soldiers who came out of the camp were a group of hungry soldiers.

However, after the Tang army led by He Yanxi came out of the camp, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help frowning, because the number of Tang troops who attacked did not meet his expectations. Seeing this, he immediately changed his plan to feign defeat in the first battle.

With a wave of the letter flag, the five hundred Han troops immediately adjusted into an attack array, and Zhao Kuangyin pointed to He Yanxi, who was guarded in the army, and said: "The two wings of the enemy army are spread out, and they want to swallow us in one bite. Later, you followed me, rushed straight to the Chinese army, and stared at the Tang general on horseback. Remember, don't kill him! ”

The red robe and bright armor, He Yanxi's outfit is very conspicuous.

Observing the movement of the Tang army in the camp, after it was completely unfolded, he raised his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, the time has come to make a name, follow me!" ”

After Zhao Kuangyin, five hundred Suzhou regiments practiced, shouting and killing in their mouths, and rushed towards He Yanxi.

Although the number of people is small, the momentum is very strong, like a tiger, counterattacking the Tang army. He Yanxi's side, seeing the movement of the Han army, was very surprised, he didn't expect that in the face of a fourfold enemy, Zhao Kuangyin neither retreated, nor resisted stubbornly, but came straight at him.

He Dujian, who was self-conscious of his ability to use soldiers, hurriedly sent someone to give an order to let the Tang army, which was outflanked on both flanks, speed up the encirclement, and he led his own troops to meet the Han army.

But when the Han army approached, looking at the murderous and fierce momentum of the Han soldiers, he panicked in his heart for no reason, and He Yanxi temporarily issued an order to let his soldiers set up a formation to defend them.

In such a situation, where is there time, in a period of chaos, the Tang army did not have time to set up a position, only had time to send two waves of arrows, and the Han army's war knife had already cut into the neck of the Tang army.

Zhao Kuangyin was like a knife cutting tofu, and neatly chiseled into the Tang army's array. Riding lightly, Zhao Kuangyin slashed three people in a row, and then pointed directly at He Yanxi, who had begun to retreat. And the Suzhou regimental training under his subordinates were all carefully arranged and trained by Zhao Kuangyin, and he followed him closely, responding to both sides and fighting with the Tang army.

The momentum is like a tiger, intimidating the flock, and its edge is difficult to retain. The soldiers of the Tang army were mentally exhausted after last night's attack, and they got up in the morning, their hands and feet were stiff, and they had not yet eaten, and they were driven out of the camp by He Yanxi to fight, coupled with He Dujian's order, they were busy and chaotic, where could they withstand the impact of the Han army.

In just a quarter of an hour, there was a tendency to collapse, and He Yanxi fled directly from the front of the formation to the back of the formation, and his actions made the Tang army lose command and could only fight on its own.

Between the battles of Zhao Kuangyin, he still did not forget to look at the battlefield situation, and although he was despised, he was really happy about He Yanxi's performance. Noticing that the two battalions of the Tang Army outflanked by the two wings had arrived, he immediately fought with his sword and led people to rush towards He Yanxi, and in the midst of the charge, He Yanxi's identity had been confirmed.

Faced with the difficult situation of the Han army, He Yanxi was a little panicked, and shouted in panic: "Stop them!" ”

In the face of the Tang soldiers gathering together to intercept, Zhao Kuangyin galloped and jumped on the horse, slashed left and right, led people to cut down his army, and rushed to He Yanxi. raised the long knife, slashed at He Yanxi, and shouted in his mouth: "He Yanxi, take your life!" ”

The edge on Zhao Kuangyin's battle blade almost chilled He Yanxi's heart, and he screamed miserably, subconsciously shortened, and rolled off the horse. When he cut it down, Zhao Kuangyin collected some strength and slashed it on the back armor, knowing that it would be fine. Sure enough, I saw He Yanxi fall off his horse, ignoring the pain, rolling and crawling, hiding behind the surrounding Tang soldiers, and then ignoring the demeanor of the scholar.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw this, he could order: "The whole army shouted, He Yanxi is dead!" ”180

Then, with people, turned to rush towards the chaos of the Tang army, Zhao Kuangyin's sense of smell on the battlefield was very keen, specializing in attacking weak places, attacking all the way, shouting all the way "He Yanxi is dead", and soon the Chinese army of the He army was in chaos, and affected the two battalions of the Tang army that came in a roundabout way.

And He Yanxi's side has lost every inch, and when he gathers his relatives and soldiers again, and orders the soldiers, it is no longer effective.

In the Tang camp, he has been looking at the front of the camp, the battle situation, with the crowd outnumbered, the battle actually fought like this, Guo Tingwei secretly scolded He Yanxi for being a waste. When he heard the shouts of the Han army that "He Yanxi is dead", Guo Tingwei couldn't sit still, and immediately called out angrily: "Leave a thousand troops to guard the camp, and the others will go to battle with me!" ”

Soon, Guo Tingwei commanded the troops, rushed out of the camp gate, and pressed towards the battlefield. Zhao Kuangyin's side, always paying attention to the movements of the Tang camp, saw that the soldiers were pouring out again, and immediately ordered to shout: "Brothers, follow me to the flag, withdraw!" ”

Under the leadership of Zhao Kuangyin, the Han soldiers who survived the war turned to the south and rushed to the south, and the Tang soldiers in the chaos could not stop it at all, so they could only watch the Han army break away and turn to the west, leaving a mess.

Guo Tingwei arrived with the army, and when he saw the Han army, he had no choice but to keep a blue face, stabilize the chaos, and collect the soldiers.

"The Han army has fled! Give me chase! At this time, He Yanxi, who had lost his life under Zhao Kuangyin's knife, jumped out under the escort.

Although he was in the right armor, he was full of embarrassment, and his face was full of shame and indignation.

"No chasing!" Listening to his order, Guo Tingwei sternly refused, and said to He Yanxi: "This Han army, it's strange, let's go back to the camp to rest first!" ”

"That Zhao Kuangyin, so rampant, treating me as nothing, how can you tolerate it!" He Yanxi said angrily: "When he sees that I am strong and retreats, he will be like a pig dog, and he will flee in embarrassment!" Gather heavy troops and annihilate them! ”

Guo Tingwei shook his head and opened his mouth to say, "No-"

Before the words came out, He Yanxi said toughly: "We only have a small setback, if we let it go, what face will we have to face the three armies?" ”

"Liu Du's deployment has made contributions in Anyuan, breaking through the vanguard of the Han army and advancing into Shouchun. We are in the north, how can we miss this opportunity? ”

"Give me chase!" After that, regardless of whether Guo Tingwei agreed or not, he led the army to pursue.

Guo Tingwei clutched the war knife tightly, he really had the urge to swing the knife and cut He Yanxi, the imperial court sent these eunuchs, it was too much of a hindrance......

"Envoy, what should we do?" Most of the troops were taken away by He Yanxi in the name of the capital eunuch, and some subordinates asked him.

"Keep up! Just in case! "Guo Tingwei has no choice.

On Zhao Kuangyin's side, after breaking away from the battle circle, he ordered his soldiers to slow down, both as a temptation and as a rest.

"Envoy, the Tang army has caught up!"

Looking back, I saw that the Tang army had moved, and it came after it. Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried, if he had just beaten Tang Jun to hurt him, he was scared and retracted back to the camp wall.

This trick to lure the enemy is indeed not easy to grasp, and if the enemy does not play tricks, he has no other way.

"Order, evacuate to Tushan. Along the way, throw away some flags, armor, and more! Another order was issued, and Zhao Kuangyin led people to hang the pursuing Tang army, like a training march.

And following behind, seeing the gradually shortening pursuit distance, He Yanxi didn't think much about it. When he saw the military flags and armor battles discarded by the Han army, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the left and right: "The Han army is outnumbered after all, and it does not dare to fight our thousands of troops, this is a hasty escape!" ”

Then the order was given, and the pursuit was accelerated.

In this way, he fled calmly, chased impatiently, and passed by in a flash, a distance of less than ten miles. Under the leadership of He Yanxi, the Tang army generously broke into the ambush circle of the Han army, endured the ice early, waited for the party to advance for a long time, immediately led people, and killed from both sides, and Zhao Kuangyin also turned back to counterattack.

The Tang army first had the disturbance of last night, and then got up in the morning to fight, plus ate less breakfast, and chased ten miles in a hurry, and was hungry and exhausted, where could it be the opponent of the well-prepared Han army.

In the first battle of the vortex, Zhao Kuangyin used a simple and classic lure ambush to defeat the Tanghao Zhou army with less victories.
