Chapter 353: Destroying the Enemy (4)

The Don army completely collapsed.

From the meeting of the two armies to the Tang army's escape in the direction of Fenyang, it took less than half an hour.

In other words, the Tang army did not survive the first round of attacks at all, and was already defeated by the offensive of the Daizhou cavalry.

The collapse began on the left flank of the Tang Army, and Shi Chenglu's department took the lead in running backwards, and then it spread to the road closure department, and the front army impulsed the middle army and the rear army, and the chain reaction was not at all blocked by manpower.

Luo Shixin achieved his goal, led the army to move forward, successively defeated the obstruction of the two Tang armies, rushed into the Tang army, killed him covered in blood, raised his horse and raised his sword, cut Dou Jing off the war horse with a knife, and cut off the flag officer of the Tang army with a backhand.

In the midst of laughter, he grabbed the handsome flag of Li Yuanji, the governor of the state, in his hand, raised it triumphantly above his head and couldn't help showing off, and the cavalry galloped past him like a tide, shattering the Tang Army.

Liu Jingsheng led his troops to defeat the Tang cavalry that hastily gathered to meet the enemy, and attacked the rear army of the Tang army.

When Li Po led the heavy cavalry to the battlefield, the two armies had already fought in the Tang army, tearing the army formation of tens of thousands of Tang troops apart.

Luo Shixin even used the fastest speed to send the Tang Army Shuai Qi to Li Po to ask for merit, along with Dou Jing's body.

The rout of the Tang army seemed to be as far as the eye could see, and they were like headless flies, throwing down pieces of corpses and piles of baggage, and scattered in all directions.

Li Po immediately issued an order to divide all parts of the army into thousand-strong teams to chase the dead and chase the north, so as to annihilate the Tang army in the territory of Yanmen.

In the evening, the army set up camp.

Groups of Tang soldiers were also sent here one after another.

That night, count the results.

In addition to the countless weights of the Tang army, they were captured. The Tang army surrendered in the evening of this day, and more than 15,000 people were killed.

There are four senior generals of the Tang Army headed by Shi Chenglu, and there are dozens of remaining low-level officers, and. This number is constantly increasing, which shows that the Tang army has begun to surrender in formation.

And under the pursuit of the Daizhou cavalry, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to lead hundreds or thousands of people to escape from Yanmen.

There were too many prisoners, and the march of the army was delayed at once.

Li Po simply stationed here and let the army rest here for a day.

In the morning of the next day, the infantry army behind finally caught up, and looking at the almost cleaned battlefield, groups of Tang troops surrendered prisoners. Carload by cart of seized baggage.

Brother Wei Chi, Xue Wanche and the others were all envious and their eyes were about to turn blue, and in front of the Daizhou cavalry army, these infantry generals seemed very redundant.

They didn't have their share in the battle achievements, but they had to work hard to follow the cavalry and wipe their butts.

Especially after this battle, maybe soon Li Po will lead his troops north to Yunzhong, and it will be even more impossible for the infantry army to follow, on the grassland. It will always be the world of cavalry, and the infantry army has arrived there. It's not redundant, it's a burden.

But there is no way, everyone knows the importance of the infantry army, but now, Li Po, the head of the Daizhou marching army, uses the cavalry with great power, and can always find opportunities in the field. Crush your opponents in a manner similar to a surprise attack.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult for the infantry army to exert its strength.

In fact, the Wei Chi brothers had already begun to ponder a long time ago and let the infantry army ride on their war horses. In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, Li Po used the means of using the infantry army as cavalry, and created a cavalry dual-purpose infantry army that was very fast, did not rely too much on logistics and supplies, but could dismount and fight at critical moments.

In that case, at least they can keep up with the rhythm of the army.

But it must be light infantry, and it will face the serious problem of insufficient combat effectiveness.

As for the transformation of the army, Li Po did some when he was in Heng'an Town, but a series of wars made him have no time to carefully ponder the composition of the army under his command.

And that requires a lot of effort. 、

The Heng'an town army, which grew up from the war, is still moving forward according to inertia, and many of these problems have been exposed, such as the increase in new recruits, which makes the combat effectiveness decline rapidly, and the army fights together, often ineffective in command, and only relies on generals to adapt to changes.

The number of soldiers and horses in various places has always been inaccurate, the lack of a strong and strict conscription system has made the replenishment of various departments seem too haphazard, the number of sergeants and soldiers in the army has gradually become a bit uneven, and factional strife has further intensified.

This is obviously the situation faced by all the armies in the world, and years of war have made it impossible for the world's heroes to carefully sort out the interior, and Daizhou is actually no exception.

It's just that now the Daizhou army's victories have covered up these problems, and if it goes on like this for a long time, the decline of Li Mi and others is actually an example for the Daizhou army.

Of course, at this time, Li Po would not have thought of these problems.

As soon as the infantry arrived, he immediately ordered Wei Chi Xin to lead 1,000 foot soldiers, together with 2,000 cavalry, to escort the Tang army back to Yanmen.

In one day, the number of Tang army soldiers rose in a straight line, and soon exceeded 20,000.

In this battle, the Tang army that went north to Yanmen was almost completely annihilated.

Shi Doujing, the governor of the state governor, Zhang Da, the general of the chariot and cavalry, and others died on the spot, captured the Tang soldiers, more than 25,000 people, and the rest one after another, and the people of Yanmen sent the Tang army who fled to the mountains to Yanmen County to receive rewards.

In this battle, the main force of the Jinyang defenders was swept away.

In June, Li Po waved his army south and attacked Fenyang.

Li Yuanji, the governor of Bingzhou, really didn't dare to stay in Fenyang this time, and abandoned the city with a group of henchmen who had escaped.

Li Pobing did not fight bloodlessly and reoccupied Fenyang.

After resting in Fenyang for three days, he sent Luo Shixin out of Yanmen County and tried in the direction of Jinyang.

At this time, he was actually a little hesitant, digging out Li Yuan's lair was nothing, but a fortified city like Jinyang, with his own soldiers and horses dominated by cavalry, could he attack it?

He had seen siege battles in Liaodong, and the tragedy was indescribable.

A Liaodong city, a million troops attacked in a circle, but it was not captured, of course, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang helped the Goguryeo people to contribute a lot, but the difficulty of the siege battle, Li Po, who had been under the Liaodong city for many days, was also unobstructed.

Moreover, the Daizhou Army, which was almost single-handedly built by him, was not good at attacking cities.

But the surprise came again, in mid-June, Luo Shixin sent someone to send a few people to Li Po.

These people are said to be the children of the Jinyang Wang clan and want to see the head of the Daizhou march.

In fact, at this time, Li Po was already planning, attacking Yuci first, interspersed with the Jinyang side, and then fighting with the Tang army in the rear of Jinyang, and completely hurting the Tang army in Hedong.

But the Jinyang Wang family, which was once unattainable for Li Po, sent the intention of surrendering to Cheng at this time, wanting to lead Li Po to attack Jinyang.

Li Po was a little dizzy, and after seeing a few people, he was full of suspicions.

He recruited Wang Zhi to identify him, and several people were really the children of the Wang family, and their identities were not simple, and one of them was the son of the main branch of the Wang family.

Wang Zhi argued, and he had to call someone a third uncle.

Wang Zhibi muttered to Li Podu, saying that there are no good people in the main branch, and the chief manager should not trust them.

This kind of subjective assumption is naturally not within the scope of Li Po's consideration, this person is similar to Wang Qing, and he has turned against the Jinyang Wang family, especially Wang Zhibian, who also killed the former Yanmen Taishou Wang with his own hands, so what he said is naturally not accurate.

Of course, Li Po, who used intrigue and trickery to make a lot of people, couldn't help but think about whether the Tang army in Jinyang was using some trick to lure the enemy.

After asking back and forth, Li Po finally asked the ins and outs, and he was very fresh to listen to.

Li Yuanji, the king of Qi who escaped as fast as a rabbit, did so many "good things"?

If this really captured Jinyang, it would obviously not be his Li Po's credit, this Li Yuan's fourth son is the hero behind the scenes.

Li Po secretly thought about it for a long time, and after discussing it with everyone again, he finally decided to lead his troops south to attack Jinyang.

………………………………

At this time, Jinyang City was already gloomy, and the news of Li Yuanji's defeat at Yanmen had faintly spread, and Jinyang City, which was already panicked, was even more undercurrent.

Yu Wenxin, who was "cultivating" in the house, had already heard the report before Li Yuanji fled back to Jinyang, and was so shocked that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood without being angry.

Li Po, the head of the Daizhou marching army, lured the Jinyang soldiers and horses to the north, nearly 40,000 troops, almost all of them were wiped out in Yanmen County, and only more than 1,000 people fled back.

Yu Wenxin almost couldn't believe his ears, how was this battle fought? How many days have you just been out? Just made such a fiasco?

Yu Wenxin was shocked and angry, and almost fell ill.

He didn't have the time to be angry with Li Yuanji, and he didn't even feel redundant to scold.

He immediately ordered someone to send a letter to the counties of Hedong and Chang'an, with only two words, asking for help.

He also wanted to recruit Ding Zhuang in Jinyang City to join the army, but he was stopped by his henchmen, the hearts of the people in the city were already unstable, and the Jinyang Wang family regarded Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, as an enemy.

At this time, there will be chaos in the large-scale conscription, and once the situation is chaotic, the city may be lost immediately, but there are still the emperor's family members in the city......

In the end, Yu Wenxin sighed fiercely, thinking in his heart that Jinyang was no longer defendable, but who would bear the charge of Jinyang's loss? Lee Won-gil? Or is he Yu Wenxin?

In the end, his choice is no different from Dou Dan's, and he can only be selfish.

It's still a good saying, the virtuous people are mostly upright and the people who use them are mostly upright, and the stupid people are all despicable.

Li Yuanji is actually the best example.

When Li Yuanji led the people to flee back to Jinyang in embarrassment, before entering the city, he was stopped by Yu Wenxin more than ten miles outside the city.

At this time, Li Yuanji was ashamed, but he was also full of resentment, feeling that Yu Wenxin came to him at this time, and he must have wanted to see his embarrassed appearance with his own eyes.

So don't want him to admit his mistake in person, after seeing the first sentence, Li Yuanji ridiculed Yuwenxin and said: "General Yuwen is not in the mansion to recuperate? How did you get out of town? Aren't you afraid that you will suffer from the wind and cold and can't afford to get sick? ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji really had other thoughts, looked left and right, and wanted to immediately order Yu Wenxin to be killed here, and then push the charge of defeat on his people. (To be continued.) )
