"What? You repeat? Li Ye looked at Li Zhen incredulously, his expression a little angry.

Li Zhen sighed in his heart, and knew that this matter would definitely make His Majesty angry, but he also had to report, "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guard Jingnan has sent back Jingnan Jiedu to make Zhang Gui refuse to send troops to assist. ”

"Why?"

"Zhang Gui said that Jingnan was short of troops, and he was worried that the rebels were a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Li Zhen said stiffly.

"Turn the tiger away from the mountain? This Zhang Gui will make excuses, is he trying to resist and disobey? Give him an order, if he doesn't send troops, I don't mind changing the envoy. Li Ye said coldly.

There are a lot of people who are worried about the Jingnan festival to make this position, and Guo Yu (that is, Cheng Wei Rui), who occupies Li Zhou and Langzhou, is greedy.

Now that Zhang Gui was beaten to death by Zhao Dexuan, it was the time of weakness, if the imperial court ordered Zhang Gui to be removed from the position of the festival envoy, no matter who of the two was appointed as the festival envoy, I believe that he would be very active in helping the court solve Zhang Gui.

However, in this way, Li Ye's idea of controlling Shannan Dongdao and Jingnan in one fell swoop has become an extravagant hope.

Zhang Gui was quite positive before, but when it really came to the point where he needed to send troops, Zhang Gui made excuses in every possible way, and this was the feudal town at this time.

There are so many feudal towns in the world, how many are really loyal to the imperial court?

I'm afraid that they are all rare, and they all want to treat the feudal town they manage as their own independent small kingdom, and let their brothers and heirs succeed to the throne after their death. Nominally, it is still respected by the imperial court, but in fact it is a vassal state with a pattern.

Zhang Gui was also afraid that after the imperial court cleaned up Zhao Dexu, he would clean him up by the way, so he didn't dare to send troops. In his eyes, it is best for the imperial army and Zhao Delu to fight and lose, so that he doesn't have to worry about Zhao Dejun coming to attack him, let alone worrying about the court cleaning him up, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

Zhang Gui's attitude, as Li Hong, who was on the front line, had already known that after all, he was close to Jingnan, and the news would definitely reach him faster than Chang'an.

When Li Ye was furious, he was already planning to annihilate Wang Jianzhao's 30,000 rebels.

"General, there are two places suitable for ambush sites, both of which are the only way for the rebels to reinforce Xiangzhou.

The first is the mouth of the Shuanghe, which is located in the middle of two large mountains, about ten miles wide, and the terrain is flat, which is suitable for the deployment of large armies, especially the charge of cavalry.

The second is the north of Yicheng, where there are mountains in the west and Hanshui in the east, which is also flat, and there are many woods to facilitate the army to hide.

However, Shuanghekou is relatively close to Changlin County, where the rebels are stationed, and it is easy to be separated by the rebels. The humble position is that it is more suitable to be here in Yicheng, this place is not far from Xiangzhou City, and the vigilance of the rebels will be reduced, and it is a good time for us to ambush. Ouyang Jing pointed to a relatively simple map and explained.

At this time, the map was naturally not detailed, where were the mountains and where the plains were not marked, and because of the time restrictions, the map did not have a scale, and the things recorded on the map were likely to be wrong.

Therefore, the importance of scouts comes out, and with scouts, the actual situation can be found clearly.

The reason why Li Hong remained motionless was that he was waiting for scouts to determine the best ambush location and strive to defeat the 30,000 rebels with minimal casualties.

Li Hong looked at the map and nodded, pointed to the location of Yicheng County on the map, and said in a deep voice, "Then put the ambush location here." Orders were given to go down and march at night so as not to be discovered by the rebels. ”

"Yes!"

。。。。。。

Wang Jianzhao has been unhappy for the past two days, very simply, because Zhang Gui didn't chase after him.

For Jiangling Mansion, he was greedy, and Zhao Delu also promised him that if he took Jiangling Mansion, he would let him stay in Jiangling.

The idea is good, but before they captured most of the county towns of Gangneung Province, and even besieged Gangneung Mansion, but in the end they still failed to capture Gangneung Mansion. So he vented his anger on those people, and the population of the entire Gangneung Province has been declining in the past month or two.

This time, the marshal asked him to go to reinforce Xiangzhou, but he didn't really want to go. finally had the opportunity to take charge of the army alone, wouldn't he have to be constrained by the other party when he went back?

So he deliberately released the news that he was going north, and then delayed the departure time, but after waiting for so many days, Zhang Gui's cowardice didn't dare to come out to pursue him.

And an urgent order from Xiangzhou every day urged him to rush to Xiangzhou's aid.

There was no way, Wang Jianzhao could only honestly set off towards Xiangzhou.

He actually didn't understand why the Jieshuai side lost so badly.

Although he took 30,000 troops with him here, he still had 70,000 or 80,000 troops in his hands, and if you add the garrisons of distant states and counties, there must be 100,000 people.

And the Tang army had a maximum of 60,000 or 70,000 troops, and it actually wiped out almost 50,000 troops in half a month.

When did the Don Army become so strong?

However, when he heard that it was the reason for the young marshal, Wang Jianzhao couldn't help but despise it in his heart, it seems that this young marshal is not a very capable person, he has lost two battles in a row, lost tens of thousands of troops, and I heard that he was also detained in the Tang army camp, like a waste.

When he arrived in Yicheng, Wang Jianzhao stayed overnight, and asked the Yicheng garrison to find him a few young girls to relax, and he was happy for one night before sending troops.

Happy is happy, but the next day Wang Jianzhao knew that the waves were too much last night, and he knew that he wouldn't be looking for such a happy woman.

Six women, Rao is in good health, and he was a little sluggish the next day.

Just as Wang Jianzhao was resting in the carriage, one of his men came down to the side of the carriage, "General, there is a large forest in front, and I feel that something is wrong, do you want the army to stop and find out one or two?" ”

Wang Jianzhao lifted the curtain and said unhappily, "There are less than two days to go to Xiangzhou, is it possible that who else dares to provoke General Ben?" The army was ordered to speed up the march. ”

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

The person who came was a little hesitant, which made Wang Jianzhao suddenly a little unhappy, "What? Did General Ben's words not work? ”

"Don't dare!"

"If you don't dare, speed up the march, what are you doing here?"

If Wang Jianzhao hadn't been so tired, he might not have remembered Feng Lin Mojin's experience.

At this time, there are no drones, radars or anything, plus the population is sparse and the vegetation is luxuriant, who knows what threats are in those woods?

Those with a little military common sense will let people investigate one or two first, and only when there is no danger will they continue to march.

However, as they got closer and closer to the woods, Wang Jianzhao's generals also felt that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that there should be birds chirping in the woods, but in broad daylight, not even a single bird can be seen, which is a bit strange for anyone to see.

Just when the rebel generals felt that something was wrong, a strange sound suddenly came from the woods, and then the earth trembled.

The marching rebels immediately stopped, and just when they didn't know what was going on, many black shadows suddenly rushed out of the woods, and when they saw the appearance of those black shadows, the whole rebel army rioted.

"Cavalry! Cavalry! ”

"There's an ambush!"

Wang Jianzhao also noticed the trembling of the earth, and just as he lifted the curtain and was about to ask what was going on, several of his men ran over, pointing in the direction of the woods with panicked expressions.

"General, cavalry! Cavalry! ”

Wang Jianzhao, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly dragged his tired body out of the carriage, stood on the carriage and looked into the distance, when he saw the dense cavalry, his face changed!

There weren't many cavalry in the entire Shannan East Road, and this cavalry was definitely not theirs. If it were theirs, would they kill them like this?

Wang Jianzhao realized that he was in an ambush!

At this time, he realized what was the use of ambushing, this time Li Hong did not bring infantry, directly 10,000 cavalry, in his opinion, this was enough.

The charge of tens of thousands of cavalry, the huge momentum had already frightened the rebels.

The rebel ranks were in disarray, pushing left and right, and the confusion was incomparable.

However, Wang Jianzhao can make Jingnan Jiedu eat Zhang Gui to death, and he must still have some dependence. Although it is said that the elite of Shannan Dongdao is basically in the hands of Zhao Delu and is directly commanded by him, Wang Jianzhao also has 5,000 elite soldiers in his hands.

Compared with other chaotic rebels, most of these 5,000 rebels were wearing armor, and the formation was relatively neat, not only did they not panic, but they also set up a formation.

Li Hong, who was holding a horse lance, couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that there were such elites in the rebels.

"Tell me to go down and disperse this rebel army first!"

"Tiance Army, kill me!"

Li Hong shouted with a lance, and the tip of the lance pointed straight ahead!

"Heavenly Strategy! Heavenly Strategy! ”

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

Immediately following Li Hong, the entire charging cavalry shouted loudly, and with the war horses under him, the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry was huge.

"So many cavalry?"

Seeing the cavalry shouting slogans in front of them, the rebels' camp became more and more chaotic, the whole land trembled, and many rebels turned pale, unable to even hold the weapons in their hands.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

Do these 30,000 rebels have cavalry? Strictly speaking, there are yes, but there are less than a thousand people, and they have long been frightened and fled under the charge of the cavalry of the Tiance Army, so they have become 30,000 rebel infantry to face the cavalry of the 10,000 Tiance Army.

At present, the only way for the rebels to deal with the cavalry is bows and arrows, and when they saw the cavalry in front of them getting closer and closer, many rebel generals hurriedly ordered to release arrows.

However, the morale of the entire rebel army was greatly hit, and the sharp arrows fired were powerless, which made the morale of the Tiance army greatly increased.

Compared to other rebels, the 5,000 rebels in good formation were the biggest enemy of the Tiance Army.

"Each of you will take a thousand men and kill them from the flanks!"

Being a cavalryman, especially a good cavalryman, is an infantry phalanx that does not foolishly storm the enemy, especially without the protection of equipment. Even if the assault is successful, the cavalry will lose a lot.

On the contrary, it is necessary to detour back to the enemy's flank and launch an attack, which can achieve results.

As a result, the enemy infantry phalanx fell into a very awkward position, defending the front, or flanks?

Defend the front, and the flanks will be broken; Defend the flanks, and the cavalry on the front will charge directly into your own infantry phalanx.
