Chapter 463: Decisive Battle (3)
Li Xiaoji's handsome banner fell crookedly, and the rear army of the Tang Army collapsed......
The rout of more than 100,000 people was as spectacular as the battle of the army, and the Tang army was routed all over the mountains and fields, fleeing in groups in the direction away from the enemy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the front army of the Tang Army, under Li Shentong's military orders, tried to shrink their bodies and faced this terrifying scene with trembling.
At this time, the rear army of the Tang army no longer had any resistance, and the cavalry formation that was advancing on horseback had spread to the hinterland of the rear army.
Bands of cavalry rushed out of the torrent, raised their swords on horseback, and chased the dead to the north.
Most of the Tang troops were swept by the cavalry, and they didn't need to be greeted at all, and they knelt down to ask for surrender.
The cavalry of the parallel generation was almost decided by a battle, and the kills and casualties were not counted, and the captures were not counted.
There was no need for a second assault at all, and the army slowly stopped the horse's hooves at the sound of the trumpet.
Wei Chigong, Bu Qun and others sent orders to all departments, pursued the defeated army, and collected and surrendered prisoners.
At this time, it was past the season of merit, and the victory came so easily, Wei Chigong and Bu Qun were satisfied, and immediately sent people to report to Li Po, and then led more than 10,000 people to turn around, converge with Liu Jingsheng, and Xue Wanche surrounded the front army of the Tang Army.
It is not accurate to say that the encirclement is not accurate, because there are still more than 100,000 people in the front army of the Tang Army, with their backs to Fenshui, standing in formation, and it seems that it is very difficult to defeat them cleanly like defeating the rear army of the Tang Army.
Seeing that it was getting late, and the Tang army was just a trapped beast fighting, Wei Chigong and Bu Qun and others discussed a little, and each led his troops to retreat for several miles, cleaning up the mess, which also symbolized the end of today's battle.
In fact, in the evening, the infantry army under the leadership of Li Po had already rushed to the battlefield and set up camp in front of the Tang army.
At this point, the main force of the Tang Army was already difficult to fly.
Li Po is in a very good mood, since March, after almost three months of fighting, he finally got a satisfactory result, how much pressure there was before, how strong the satisfaction at this time was.
But after all, the main force of more than 100,000 Tang troops is still there, and under the unfinished work, they can't be too complacent.
Words like the trapped beast are still fighting, it seems quite appropriate to give it to the current Tang army, if it is overturned by the Tang army in a night attack or something, it will be a joke.
After so many years of fighting, Li Poke has never despised any opponent, even when victory is within reach.
When Li Po led the army to arrive, the first thing was nothing else, just to let Chen Yuan, Wei Chixin and others carefully set up camp and wait for the battle.
After that, he sent an order to Wei Chigong and others, in addition to praise, that is, they should not be neglected, and they were stationed on the spot, and scouts were sent to strictly prevent the enemy from dying and struggling.
With Li Po in charge, everything is more organized.
Those who are happy will not be overjoyed, those who are proud will not underestimate their enemies, and those who have made great achievements will not think only about the rewards that will follow.
Li Po's eyes went wherever he went, and all the generals obeyed orders and did not dare to disobey.
Groups of Tang army prisoners were transferred to the infantry army for care, and the captured grain and grass were also being cleaned up.
In the evening, piles of flames were burning in the south of the Tang army, and a fishy smell mixed with the smell of barbecued meat gradually spread, which was burning the corpses of Tang soldiers who died in battle.
When night fell, Li Po sent an order to Liu Jingsheng and Wang Zhibian, asking them to go south overnight to surround Jiexiu.
After setting up camp, Li Po immediately summoned the infantry generals to the Chinese army to discuss the matter.
Needless to say, Li Po naturally wanted to finish his work in one battle, and the Tang army would hold on or slowly retreat, how to deal with it.
At this time, the focus of Li Po's thinking also changed, no longer how to defeat the enemy army, but how to reduce his own casualties in this last battle of annihilation.
After deliberating for a long time, the generals dispersed one after another.
Li Po didn't have much appetite, as the leader of the army, he was under very great pressure all the time, and since the army, it seemed that every battle was life and death for him.
This time it wasn't too long, only three months, and it seemed to have come to the end, but Li Po still looked a lot thinner.
Li Po walked out of the military tent, and the soldiers guarding outside the tent immediately saluted one after another, and then followed him.
Li Po looked up at the sky, and at some point, the rain had stopped, and a full moon climbed into the air, sprinkling a faint light.
Li Po smiled, God also counts as face, it is difficult to lead the army to sneak attack on such a night.
He took a deep breath of moist and fresh air, stretched out without the majesty of the manager, shook his arms again, twisted his neck a few times, and looked a little funny, but his guards looked away......
Li Po had no intention of patrolling the camp, but just circled around the Chinese army's tent twice, at this time, he wanted to write a letter and send it back to Jinyang, but he still suppressed his impulse, and told himself that the war was not over yet, and his mother-in-law and mother could not do it.
Maybe it won't be long before the generals of the Tang Army will appear in front of him, Li Shentong, the king of Yongkang, Li Yuan's cousin...... Haha, it's a big fish.
If Pei Lin can be caught again, will he be able to change the hostages? His teacher and father-in-law are still in Li Yuan's hands.
When the husband and wife talk privately, they always avoid talking about it, because they both know that talking is useless, it will only add blockage to their hearts.
Both male and female are smart people, and they will not complain and accuse each other for things beyond the reach of the whip, whether they are ruthless or cold, anyway, with the heart of competing for the world, some things must be seen lightly, this truth is not only understood by Li Po, but also understood by Li Bi better than him.
If one day, Li Jing was pressed to the front of the two armies to coerce him, Li Po thought about it and came to a conclusion that made him very uncomfortable, maybe he would gallop forward and shoot Li Jing with an arrow with his own hands, in order to vote death to the army.
As he himself said, since he has chosen this path, he has to brave the wind and rain all the way, and those who are soft-hearted will die on this road full of thorns.
Of course, there are many ways to avoid such a bad thing, you don't have to show your ruthlessness so directly, there are so many relatives in the Li family, and if you catch a few, you may be able to change people back.
Li Shentong can't succeed, what about Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng? Or even Li Shimin?
In fact, at this time, a Li family member had already been poisoned by him, and Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, was killed in battle......
………………………………
On this night, the army of the Acting Dynasty had already encircled the Tang army.
The various units of the army were stationed around the Tang army, quietly waiting for the dawn to come.
Compared with the parallel army whose victory has been decided, this day and night is like being in hell for Tang Jun.
The situation of the battle took a sharp turn, and the rear army was almost defeated in a battle, which had shaken the hearts of the Tang army, and then the enemy's infantry army swarmed in, which was also an infantry army that was no longer inferior to the front army of the Tang army.
During this period of time, the Tang army went from fear to despair, and the morale of the army instantly returned to zero.
At the beginning, Li Shentong also wanted to convene the generals to discuss the withdrawal of the army.
Yes, it is to retreat, because holding on to the spot is definitely a dead end, and there will be no more reinforcements, so it can only be a retreat, more precisely, it should be a breakthrough.
A series of mistakes made before, Li Shentong is no longer willing to think about it......
But when the generals came, Li Shentong realized the danger at once in those flashing eyes, so the military discussion ended hastily, and Li Shentong didn't say a word about the retreat.
Under the defeat, everyone is separated, and the army is no longer able to stand.
At this time, Li Shentong and Pei Lin were actually no different, once they felt that the defeat was decided, and they were in an unforeseen place, they immediately abandoned fame and fortune and began to rush for their lives.
I have to say that the psychological quality of the children of the Kansai Seval is indeed relatively strong.
Of course, they also have something to rely on, whether they are captured or flee back, they generally do not have to worry about their lives, and there are very few people in the big lords who have been beheaded due to defeat.
At most, at most, they will be temporarily stripped of their official positions and demoted to commoners, and with their family background, they will be activated again in minutes, like Yu Wenshu and others at the beginning, which is a good example.
With such a guarantee, almost all of the big lord's disciples are actually escape experts, plus the grass on the wall, as long as they don't have their heads cut off by the small soldiers.
And escaping is also a technical job, Li Shentong thought about it for a long time before ordering someone to quietly summon the generals of Kansai to come.
After countless promises, he also said that he would let 2,000 cavalry take the lead, and immediately break through to the south early tomorrow morning.
When the generals left, Li Shentong secretly ordered his henchmen to go to the shore of Fenshui to make a few rafts, planning to secretly cross Fenshui that night and flee directly into Luliang Mountain to the south.
can so simply want to leave the army and abscond alone, and use words to confuse the generals, this heart-wrenching...... Indeed, he is worthy of being a member of the Li family.
But there are people who are more straightforward than him.
At this time, the Henan generals who were on the left flank of the army, close to the bank of Fenshui, had been quietly summoned into the military tent by Xu Shixian, after some secret discussions.
Zhang Liang led his troops to raid Jiang Baoyi's camp, and the battle was carried out at night, and the unsuspecting Jiang Baoyi's troops were surrounded and killed almost instantly, and Jiang Baoyi was captured by Zhang Liangsheng.
This commotion completely ignited the flames of infighting in the Tang Army during the night.
Lu Shixun and Zheng You, the right wing of the Tang army, heard that there was a chaos, and immediately joined together, first killed the henchmen of Li Shentong's faction in the army, and then led the army to break through to the south at night.
The left flank of Xu Shiyun's troops was even more ruthless, and at the same time as sending people to surrender to the general army, the Henan army, under the leadership of Xu Shiyun, took advantage of the night to the east to defeat two divisions in a row, and directly killed Li Shentong's Chinese army.
They also have a strong rebel style, and they want to get a lot of weight to vote for.
This night, like a roar in the camp, the Tang army shouted and killed in the camp...... Without Li Po's hands, Tang Jun killed each other first.
