Li Erhei and they were not at all frightened in the face of this kind of large-scale cavalry charge, they had already seen it many times. Because in the process of pacifying Shuofang, when fighting with Liu Weichen, the opponent's cavalry was not much less than this. For these veterans of a hundred battles, after seeing a lot, they have long been used to it.

Therefore, when the soldiers of the contemporary army rushed over, the soldiers of the Tang Army were just under the orders of the generals, and they bent their bows and arrows with serious and cold expressions, and pulled the crossbow machine. Waves of arrows swept away the rushing enemy army, and then it was filled with more enemies.

After the Dai army launched a charge, it was mainly from the front, but at the same time, a lot of cavalry began to be sent from both flanks, outflanking the Tang army.

In such a situation, Li Erhei's way of dealing with it was to form a circle formation of the soldiers under his command, so that he could defend to various places.

Li Erhei stood in the middle of the Chinese army, seemingly oblivious to the situation around him. At this time, his eyes were far above the heads of the soldiers on both sides, and he looked all the way to the north.

At this time, on both sides of the Baiqu River north of the Yellow River, the two armies of the Tang Dynasty had been fighting for nearly an hour. The Tang Army, which had always seemed tepid, suddenly became fierce at this moment.

Especially in the area of Zhaojun's tomb, the Tang army's attack was even more fierce. Because the attack here was the Bupo army led by Zhang Hao, and the 10,000 troops of Deng Qiang's command who had just arrived here.

The Baiqu is very long, stretching from Daqingshan in the north to the edge of the Yellow River. Such a river is almost a natural line of defense, and if the Dai army is stationed on the east bank, it will definitely not be easy to break through from here.

Of course, it was much easier than attacking from the Yellow River. In order to open up the situation as soon as possible, so as to serve the purpose of responding to the battle situation on Li Erhei's side, Deng Qiang and the others decided to concentrate their superior forces and attack one place first.

And this place, they chose to be in the area of Zhaojun's tomb.

The place of Zhaojun's tomb is whether it is the real Zhaojun mausoleum, in fact, no one knows. Although the historical records of later generations are very accurate about this, there is no clear conclusion until the development of science and technology in later generations.

The only thing that can be determined is that the mound on the south bank of Baiqushui is indeed a product of the Han Dynasty. The main reason why they chose to attack here is that if you go east from here, it is not far from the mountains, and the water there is smaller.

On the other hand, not far to the west is the big bend of the Baiqu water bend to the south, so the water potential in this area is relatively stable. In addition, the terrain is also conducive to the deployment of the army, and not far behind him is the reckless Daqing Mountain, which has a lot of resources to use!

Within a distance of just over 20 miles, 15,000 troops of the Tang Army were concentrated here, and there were 5,000 elites among them. As soon as such a battle starts, there is almost no suspense.

Because the focus of the defense before the Dai army was almost all near the Yellow River. Even if the Tang army advanced to the Baiqushui area, they also attached more importance to the southern half, because it was easier for the Tang army to communicate with the large army on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Although there are many substitute troops stationed here, they are still not as large as the number after Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang joined forces. As soon as the battle began, the scene suddenly became many times more violent, and the soldiers on the shore were stunned.

By the time they reacted to the fact that the Tang army on the opposite side might have increased their troops, Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao had already personally led the brave men down the river from the upstream to the shore. A small breach in the line of defense was opened, and then it was broken everywhere.

Half an hour later, all the banks of the Baiqu River within twenty or thirty miles around the tomb of Zhaojun fell into the control of the Tang army. The soldiers of the Dai Army, who could not resist, retreated one after another, and the Tang Army took the opportunity to cross the river in a big way.

Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao divided the soldiers and horses into east and west, and then headed south towards the Yellow River.

Those soldiers of the Dai Army, who were still holding on to the south of Baiqushui, never expected that the Tang Army would actually come from their rear. After being killed by Deng Qiang and them, the entire Baiqu water defense line completely collapsed.

At this point, the 30,000 troops west of Baiqushui all crossed the river and entered the surrounding area of Shengle City.

According to the original plan, Deng Qiang immediately led an army of 10,000 to kill Shengle City. Zhang Hao and the remaining 15,000 troops continued to move south, first clearing out the soldiers of the Dai Army south of Shengle and north of the Yellow River.

Almost at the time of the victory of the Battle of Baiqushui, the Tang soldiers who had returned to the south bank immediately set fire to the boats in the water after solving some of the soldiers and horses left behind by Shiyiqian. For a time, the surface of the Yellow River was full of smoke and dust, and the heat wave was monstrous.

Shi Yiqian, who was overseing the army to attack Li Erhei's army, suddenly came to report that the rear had been attacked, and when he looked back, he just saw the thick smoke rising from the sky. It didn't take him a second thought to know that something was wrong.

"Report! King Qiqi, a group of Tang troops suddenly came out from the west and burned all our boats! Just as he was shocked, soldiers who had managed to escape from the shore came to report.

"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Hearing this, Shi Yiqian's eyes almost darkened, and he said angrily.

Without a boat, I guess my people would have been able to swim back. The question is, will the Tang army stand idly by and watch his return?

"King, in such a situation, we should have made a plan early! Now that the boat has been destroyed, it will be useless for us to rush back immediately. In this case, it is better to defeat these Tang troops first. At that time, we can also take our time and find a way to go back! Yan Feng heard the news on the side, thought for a while, and proposed.

"Not bad! As long as the Tang army in front of us is wiped out, even if the boat is destroyed, we can use the Tang army's boat to go back at that time! Hearing this, Shi Yiqian felt quite reasonable.

However, disaster does not come alone! Just as he was about to give the order to intensify the attack, some remnants fled from the north. This time, they reported not only news of the boat, but also news of the North Shore.

"What? The Tang army has already killed Baiqushui and occupied the north bank? "This news is undoubtedly a huge blow to Shi Yiqian, after all, there is no boat to borrow, but if there is no foothold, there is really no way back.

"Great King, the little one saw on the shore that the Tang army had crossed the Baiqu water in a big way, and there was a fierce battle on the north bank. According to the people who fled over there, the Tang army was already heading towards Shengle City! "These people who have escaped death actually don't know the specific situation over there, anyway, all the messy news has been said.

"Shengle City! No, Shengle City must not be lost, and this king must rush back to rescue immediately! Zizhang, this king left you with 20,000 troops here, responsible for blocking the Tang army. This prince led the rest of the army back to Shengle City! "Shengle City is the capital of the country, and there are the children and grandchildren of Shi Yiqian in it, if something goes wrong in that place, it is almost equivalent to destroying the country. Therefore, Shi Yiqian was had to be saved.

"Yes, the minister must block the Tang army here!" Hearing this, Yan Feng had no choice but to obey.

He also had no choice, and now, he understood why the Tang army had taken the initiative to retreat before. It was not just to concentrate forces against the Dai army, but more importantly, because the direction of their attack was not here in the first place.

Well, now the big river, which was originally used by himself to block the Tang army's attack, has now become a natural danger to block his own reinforcements. The thought that the boat had been burned and that the army really wanted to cross the river, I am afraid that it would have to find another way.

But what Yan Feng was more worried about was whether the Tang army would let himself leave like this, so that the army could easily rush back to support! He didn't know, but he knew that if it was him, he would definitely not let go of this great opportunity.

Sure enough, Shi Yiqian had just withdrawn half of his troops to the north, and there was a new movement on Li Erhei's side.

He had always been in a circle, but at this moment, he suddenly began to turn into a phalanx. Hundreds of horsemen on each flank broke out of the formation and struck at the side of the Winggand.

With such a small number of soldiers and horses, logically speaking, it is impossible to pose any threat to the 20,000 generation army. When they chased after them, it seemed as if they were killing themselves. But whether it is Li Erhei, Yan Feng, or especially Shi Yiqian, they will not think so.

Because although these soldiers and horses were few, they were like maggots attached to the bones, and they followed behind Shi Yiqian, constantly shooting outside the army. As a result, in order to move north quickly, Shi Yiqian had to send some soldiers and horses to block these people.

However, although the cavalry of the Tang Army did not grow up on horseback like the Hu people, they were also tested in actual combat. Especially when the equipment is superior, it does not take much effort to deal with the small number of troops that block them.

As a result, Shi Yiqian faced a difficult situation.

Sending a small number of soldiers and horses to block these Tang cavalry had no effect. And if there are more people sent to it, their own side will be weakened, let alone dragged here. But even so, Shi Yiqian had to send more troops and horses to buy time for the withdrawal of his main force.

On the other side, Li Erhei had already launched a counterattack against Yan Feng. But his counterattack was a little different, because instead of rushing directly to fight the Dai army, he began to slowly retreat to the north. It looked as if he was chasing after Shiyigan.

Seeing this, Yan Feng naturally couldn't let him leave easily. So, he ordered the army to attack continuously, wanting to drag Li Erhei here.
