"Order the army to attack with all its might, and we must destroy these people in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, Li Xin will run away! After Murong Ping looked at it, he immediately ordered an attack. With the military order issued, the 50,000 army was divided into several groups and killed the Tang army on the opposite side. There were five waves, and the first wave numbered as many as 10,000 people. After all, the banks of the river are not particularly wide enough to spread out so many soldiers at once.

Attacking the enemy with ten times as many people as the average person would probably be a sure thing to do. Therefore, almost every soldier of the Yan Army was full of confidence, and he only felt that this battle was definitely won.

But they didn't take a closer look, and on the five thousand Tang troops on the opposite side, there was no trace of fear and fear at all. Each of them had a cold and resolute face, just staring coldly at the soldiers of the Yan Army in front of them constantly rushing towards their side.

Now they are like a machine, and they can't see private feelings. All they did was to fire arrows, spears, or shields under the orders of their generals.

Everything is so orderly, and the enemy troops on the opposite side who are killing in turn cannot disrupt themselves in the slightest.

Compared with this order of the Tang Army, the attack on the Yan Army's side can be said to be a mess. The Tang army's military formation did not move forward or took a step back, it just stood in place and rotated in a team, but the Yan army just couldn't attack the military formation.

Gradually, the generals of the Yan Army, who originally thought that they were sure to win, also noticed that something was wrong. And those soldiers who were rushing to be the first suddenly found that there were more and more corpses in front of them, but they were all their own.

Tang Jun's corpse was not seen, and even if there were really people killed in battle, they could not be seen in the entire military array.

If it looks like this, it feels like after a fight, only there are casualties on his side, and the Tang army has no casualties.

In any case, when more and more Yan soldiers discovered this, and then looked at the solemn Tang army formation opposite, the dark armor set them off so mightily. Unconsciously, many people have a feeling of being ashamed.

Skillfully, the morale of the two armies had a process of rising and falling, and the offensive momentum of the Yan army was slightly frustrated!

After looking at the rear for a while, Murong Ping also noticed this and couldn't help but be furious. Immediately ordered: "If you dare to fight without fear, you will not be killed!" Those who enter the enemy formation first will receive a bounty of 10,000 taels, and those who kill the enemy will be sealed! ”

The morale that was originally a little low finally rose again after this heavy reward. In order to get these rewards, the soldiers of the Yan army rushed to the front of the battle one by one as if they were not dying, and then fell.

But there were also some lucky people who finally made it to the front of the formation, but before they could rejoice, the sharp spears stabbed from the formation pierced their bodies directly. In just half an hour of fighting, the Yan army had already suffered hundreds of casualties.

"No, if it continues like this, I'm afraid Li Xin will really escape! Li Hong, you immediately lead people to drag them here and slowly eliminate them. This king led the rest of the army, bypassed from the side, and went to pursue Li Xin first! Murong Ping was anxious, for fear that Li Xin would run away. So, after thinking about it for a while, it was decided to divide the troops.

"The last general obeys!" Hearing the military order, Li Hong hurriedly responded.

Then, Murong Ping's two armies dispersed, Li Xin left 10,000 troops on his side, and the remaining more than 40,000 soldiers and horses followed Murong Ping to continue to advance.

In addition to the flat land on the south bank of Luoshui, there are mountains further south. In particular, the north branch of the remaining veins of Huanshan is very steep here.

It is naturally impossible for the Yan army to cross this mountain to the south, but if you advance along the forest at the foot of this mountain, you should have a high success rate and can bypass the Tang army in front.

Once this goal is successfully achieved, it will not only be the reason why he will be able to go west to pursue Li Shin. More importantly, it is said that he can flank the 5,000 Tang army with Li Hong's soldiers and horses in the east.

Mountains are not easy to climb, especially now when everything grows luxuriantly. With the mountains and forests in the background, it is not easy for a single person to pass through it, let alone an army of 40,000 people.

But Murong Ping doesn't care so much, he just wants to catch up with Li Xin now, defeat this young man who has been in the limelight in recent years, and let the world see how powerful he is.

Murong commented on the movement here, and the Tang army below naturally found out. It's just that they were blocked by Li Hong's army, so they didn't make any moves. In other words, although they saw it, they didn't take it to heart.

After Murong Ping led the army into the mountains and forests, about an hour or so, the Tang army, which was fighting against Li Xin's army, finally changed a little.

In the middle of the military formation, Zhang Oy, who was in charge of commanding the operation, commanded the soldiers beside him at this time: "The time is almost up, you can send a signal!" ”

After receiving his orders, the soldier ran to the back of the battle to get busy.

On the opposite side of Zhang Oyster, at this time, Li Hongzheng urged the army to step up the attack, hoping to take down this Tang army before Murong Ping succeeded in detouring. In that case, the battle will be his own.

Just as he was busy with this, suddenly a soldier ran up to him and said to him in horror: "No, general, there are suddenly many more boats on the upper river, and they are heading towards us like arrows!" ”

"Boats? Where did the ship come from? Could it be the Tang Army? Hearing this, Li Hong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know if it's small, but I see that the river surface seems to be stuffed, so let's go and see it for myself!"

Hearing this, Li Hong had no choice but to ride his horse to the shore and look upstream. At this hope, he couldn't help but be taken aback. For just over two miles ahead, there were wooden boats and rafts speeding down the river.

But the most frightening thing is that on these wooden boats and rafts, there are Tang Army soldiers sitting one by one. Obviously, this is a Tang army of soldiers and horses down the river from the north, and its purpose is definitely not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to come for themselves.

"Not good, in the middle! Hurry up and defend along the river, and you must not let them come ashore! Also, immediately send someone to inform the king and ask him to return to the army as soon as possible! Seeing this scene, Li Hong was shocked and said.

He now somewhat understands that the five thousand soldiers and horses in front of him are not the so-called Royal Highness troops. It was to block the Yan army here, and then force the army to divide its troops.

After all, with the strength of the Tang Army, it was definitely not an easy thing to wipe out all the 50,000 troops led by Murong Ping.

Therefore, using some tricks to separate the Yan army and create fighters for itself is naturally the best way.

Although his reaction was quite fast, at this time, Murong Ping's army had already penetrated deep into the mountains and forests to the south. At such a time, it is impossible to get him to return immediately.

All Li Hong could do was to delay time first and wait for Murong Ping to lead the army back. However, if he can think of this, Li Xin can naturally think of it, and naturally he will not let him succeed.

"Attack!" The first to act was Zhang Hao, who had been in a defensive state before, and when he saw the Tang army coming downstream, he immediately roared angrily, and then rushed towards the enemy with his halberd first.

The counterattack of the five thousand Tang Army is not unpretentious, and the sullenness of being attacked by the Yan Army before is finally completely vented at this time~ Come out. The five thousand soldiers, like five thousand tigers, pounced on the Yan army on the opposite side.

Zhang Oyster's attack direction was selective, because he led a part of his troops and horses to kill along the river bank. In this case, it is unlikely that Li Hong wants to stop the soldiers from going ashore on the riverbank.

As a result, shortly after the counterattack began, Li Hong lost ground on the bank, and the soldiers and horses flowing down the river were able to land smoothly. However, the number of Tang troops who landed on the shore was not large, and the total number was less than 1,000.

But after they landed on the shore, they did not immediately attack the Yan army on the shore, but guarded this part of the shore, and then began to use rafts and wooden boats to arrange pontoon bridges. At the same time, they blocked the way of the retreat of Li Hong's army.

Soon, thousands of cavalry drove from the opposite side, and they ran straight to the front of the pontoon bridge, crossed the river directly along the newly paved pontoon bridge, and suddenly appeared behind Li Hong's army, completely cutting off their way.

In this way, Li Hong's 10,000 soldiers and horses will be completely surrounded, and he will have no way to go except for the road that Murong Ping has just walked in the south and the river.

Facing the cavalry that began to charge, the soldiers of the Yan army began to climb up the mountain without military orders, wanting to escape into the mountains and forests. But so many people are blocked together, and even those who flee into the mountains and forests are only a small number of people.

A great battle soon ended, and Li Hong's army repeated the mistakes of Murong Qian before on the bank of Luoshui, and the whole army was wiped out.

On the one hand, Zhang Hao sent people to report the news to Li Xinyu in the rear, and on the other hand, he began to clean up the battlefield.

In the mountains, after wandering around the mountains for a long time, Murong Ping finally found a way out. However, since it was getting late, and the army was already exhausted at this time, he ordered the army to camp in this mountain forest and rest for a night.

However, in the middle of the night, the general in charge of the guard woke him up.

"King, something is wrong! Not long after we left, General Li Hong's side was surrounded by the Tang army, and now it is already a lost army, almost annihilated! How do we act next, please make a quick decision on the king! The visitor said to him anxiously.
