Hearing Li Hanzhi's question, the person who came out to report the news just now was stunned, carefully recalled the previous situation, and hesitated, "Hui Jieshuai, it seems to be all iron armor, and there are a large number of Mo knives." ”

"What? A large number of Mo knives? Pay off the iron armor of the same color? ”

Hearing this result, Li Han's back couldn't help but exude a slight chill, no matter how good Wang Ke's army was, it was impossible to guarantee all the iron armor. As for the Mo Dao, there are no large-scale Mo Dao soldiers in the current feudal towns, even strong feudal clans like Li Keyong and Zhu Wen, there are very few Mo Dao, and Mo Dao has more weapons for generals, rather than large-scale rationing for ordinary soldiers.

Now there are a lot of troops in each feudal town, and the army in the Tang Dynasty at this time is several times that of the Tang Dynasty, but the financial revenue is less than half of the Tang Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, equipping each soldier with iron armor was naturally a luxury, and few feudal towns could afford it.

Except, of course, for the imperial court.

At present, the imperial court controls the land of Shu, and sufficient taxes can fully support such luxurious equipment.

Could it be the imperial army?

Thinking of this, Li Hanzhi's face was ugly.

Just when he was guessing, the soldiers who went to the north gate to inquire about the situation had already returned, and said with a panicked face, "Back to the Jieshuai, there are at least 20,000 defenders at the north gate, and Wang Dashuai's army is in danger." ”

Hearing this news, Li Hanzhi's face changed greatly, and his whole face was extremely pale.

Trap, it's a trap!

Obviously, there are only more than 10,000 defenders in the city, but now it has become more than 30,000 people, and these extra troops must be reinforcements. But in the current situation of Hezhong Province, reinforcements can only come from one direction, and that is the --- Imperial Court.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Thinking that he accepted Li Keyong's appointment and slapped the court in the face fiercely, he was a little scared! At this time, if the imperial army is dispatched, he will definitely not be spared!

As for when the imperial army came and how it entered the city, it is not difficult to guess. Although tens of thousands of their troops were approaching the city, they did not completely surround the city, and the west and south gates were still unimpeded, and it was difficult for them to detect as long as they entered the city at night.

But thinking that his 3,000 cavalry was trapped in the city, Li Hanzhi was a little anxious, it was the cavalry he had worked so hard to get together!

"Come on, go to the city immediately, let the people inside retreat, especially the cavalry, be quick!" Li Hanzhi shouted.

As soon as his words fell, several scouts rode their horses and shouted, "Jie Shuai, where is Jie Shuai?" ”

Seeing the panicked expressions of several scouts, the side realized that something was wrong, and immediately pointed out Li Hanzhi's location to several people, and soon several people came to Li Hanzhi.

When a few waiters came closer, Li Hanzhi's face was very ugly. He knew the scout he was the one he sent out to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, but at this time, the armor on the other party's body was tattered and his face was bloodstained. The person next to him was even more miserable, the blood stained most of his body red, and there was even a black feather arrow stuck in his back, and with the shaking of the horse's gallop, the blood continued to flow out along the feather arrow.

The sharp-eyed Li Hanzhi found that the feather arrow was not from the army in the river, let alone Fu Cunxian, so there was only one possibility.

"Marshal, it's a big deal, cavalry, a large number of cavalry, there are thousands, and there are a large number of infantry behind!"

"Where are the cavalry? Under what banner? Although he was willing to guess the result, he still had a fluke mentality.

The scout led by him was about to answer, but suddenly fell off the horse, and the pro-soldiers next to him hurriedly turned over and dismounted to help the other party, only to see that the other party's face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on his lips, "It is the imperial court forbidden army, and the banner is the Shence Army." A dozen of our scouts came back to four of us. ”

After confirming the news, Li Hanzhi was immediately very anxious, and at this moment, a large number of cavalry of the Shence Army wearing red robes suddenly came. In front of the city, his army was still attacking, and in a hurry, he couldn't help shouting, "Quickly withdraw, order the troops in the city to withdraw!" ”

Li Hanzhi did not let the army outside the city retreat, retreating at this time was simply the target of the cavalry, he didn't want his army to lose in vain, and hurriedly let the infantry line up to meet the enemy.

And at this moment, the east gate of the city of Fucheng slowly closed like the mouth of a giant beast swallowing the sky, and Li Hanzhi, who saw all this, had already sunk to the bottom of the valley with a heavy heart.

At the same time, on the side of the north gate, seeing that his troops were in an unfavorable situation, Wang Chongying felt resentful in his heart, thinking that he had been pitted by Li Hanzhi, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

However, how could the Hezhong army and the Zuo Shence army in the city let Wang Chongying's army run away so easily, so they planned to defeat Wang Chongying's army in one fell swoop.

By now, the Hezhong Army had become a vassal, and the main force fighting against Wang Chongying's army was the Zuo Shence Army.

As the Zuo Shence army began to counterattack, on the city tower and in the moat, there were corpses everywhere, including Wang Chongying's, Zuoshence's army and Hezhong's army, but Wang Chongying's was a lot more.

Although Wang Chongying occupies most of the states and counties in Hezhong, the most important source of income in Hezhong, Yanchi, is in the hands of Wang Ke, so although Wang Chongying has a large number of people, it is still a lot worse than when Wang Chongrong was there before.

In addition to the previous veterans, the newly recruited soldiers did not even match ordinary leather armor, and even more did not have armor, so such soldiers naturally suffered a great loss in the face of the Shence army armed to the teeth.

However, the appearance of these corpses proves how fierce this battle is. Many soldiers died with their swords tightly stabbed into the enemy's body, and were indeed pierced by another enemy.

In terms of overall strength, Wang Chongying's troops are indeed stronger than Wang Ke's, if it weren't for the support of Zuo Shence's army, maybe the north gate would have been breached the next day.

At this time, Wang Chongying's troops had long lost the desire to continue fighting, and in the face of the Zuo Shence army and the Hezhong army, which were constantly killed, they were defeated and retreated.

"Commander Jiang, Commander Fu, the two of you lead the army of your headquarters to pursue the enemy, if you encounter the Shatuo army, you must stop the pursuit and wait for the arrival of the army." Li Maozhen looked at the retreating enemy troops, and immediately gave orders to the two generals who were leading the team to slash and kill the enemy army.

For Li Maozhen, Li Ye was also a little hesitant in his heart, whether to solve this unstable factor.

Unlike Wang Jian, who took refuge in him early, Li Maozhen already had a lot of strength when he took refuge in him, and he had some prestige in the Zuo Shence army, which was undoubtedly an unstable factor.

Thinking of what the other party did to this court in history, Li Ye was naturally a little worried.

However, he has no excuse to deal with the other party, and if he disposes of it indiscriminately, it is easy to cause trouble. But thinking that the revival of the imperial court is becoming more and more obvious, although Li Maozhen is ambitious, he also knows how to measure, so he has not moved the other party.

Moreover, in order to ensure the control of the Zuo Shence Army, Li Ye not only stuffed the Zuo Shence Army with many generals loyal to the imperial court, such as Wan Baichuan and Jiang Xiong, but also had the existence of the Supervision Bureau, which could further supervise Li Maozhen.

If the other party is loyal, Li Ye will naturally not treat him badly; If the other party has different intentions, his arrangements can also minimize the loss.

"Yes!"

Jiang Xiong and Fu Cunxian hugged their fists.

Fu Cunzhen was a little shocked in his heart, listening to the meaning of Li Maozhen's words, it was obvious that the court guessed that Li Keyong would intervene.

Compared with the battle on the north gate, the battle at the east gate was undoubtedly more intense, because Li Hanzhi's combat effectiveness was more tenacious. And unlike Wang Chongying's timid retreat, Li Hanzhi quickly organized the infantry to set up a battle formation to launch a counterattack.

The attack of the Right Shence Army was once contained by Li Hanzhi, but as the elite infantry under Li Hanzhi's command continued to fall, the cavalry of the Right Shence Army was completely released and began to harvest on the battlefield.

Seeing that the situation was no longer able to return to the sky, even if Li Hanzhi was unwilling, he could only order a retreat on all fronts.

"Retreat, retreat, as much as you can withdraw!"

Li Hanzhi shouted this order with blood and tears in his eyes, he knew that once he retreated, his subordinates would be pursued by the imperial cavalry, and many people would hate him on the spot, but now he couldn't reverse all this.

Originally, he still pinned his hopes on Wang Chongying, but the people below reported that Wang Chongying had also collapsed, and it was difficult to protect himself, how could he come to rescue him.

With Li Hanxia issuing the order to retreat on all fronts, the outcome of this great battle was already sealed. Although the Right Shence Army took advantage of the time difference in the news to catch Li Hanzhi off guard, otherwise they would not have been able to end the war so quickly, but they still won in the end.

For a long time, wars only look at the results, and as for what strategies are used, they also depend on their abilities, and it cannot be said that they will not be victorious.

"General Zhang, you lead the front chamber, the left chamber, the middle four cavalry, and the right four cavalry to pursue Li Hanzhi's rout. Remember to occupy Anyi County, and after controlling the salt pond of the two lakes, you will stop the pursuit and cannot enter the territory of Ha Duong. ”

Seeing the retreat of Li Hanzhi's troops, Liu Kui no longer had the desire to pursue in person. Li Hanzhi is a character, but at this time, the imperial court does not want to directly confront Heyang, so there will be more than one Li Hanzhi as an enemy.

"Yes!" Zhang Zao clenched his fists and commanded, and then rode away.

And Liu Kui looked at the Hezhong Mansion City behind him, showed a smile, and rode his horse slowly towards the city gate, "Let's go, we should go and meet that young marshal, I hope he will be more interesting." ”
