On August 28, 889, Wan Yi commanded the Northwest Group Army of the Tiance Army to fight against the 300,000 allied forces of the late Wen Dynasty outside Wuwei City, and the great destruction was broken, capturing about 100,000 people.

Time rewind to August 28, when Yi Ge was about to retreat, he suddenly heard a big chaos in his rear army, a cavalry mountain roared from behind like a tsunami, looking at the Tiance army flag flying high from afar, Yi Ge's face was pale, he couldn't care about the situation on the front line anymore, and shouted wildly with a hoarse voice: "The whole army is fighting separately, withdraw for me." After speaking, he took his Praetorian Guard headquarters directly around the commotion from the rear army, and went straight to the direction of Liangzhou.

The cavalry of the Tiance Army led by the team was Toyota's 10,000-person Dangxiang cavalry battalion, and when the two armies were unable to hold each other, the arrival of this 10,000-strong force directly crushed the last balance of the battlefield, and this Dangxiang cavalry battalion attacking from behind directly blocked Yige's back road completely, so that he no longer had the intention of fighting with Hou Yong. The Wen people have accumulated so much money after so many years of hard work in Hexi, and they can't let themselves be ruined here, so they directly brought one-third of the elite troops of the tribe for this campaign, and they must find a way to preserve the living force.

Thinking of this, Yi Ge directly led the Praetorian Guards to bypass the cavalry of the Tiance Army that was flanking in front and rear, and prepared to retreat. But this scene made Hou Yong, who led the army to fight, find out, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, and directly led his own headquarters to chase after him quickly, and the two began to fight each other outside the battle array like fate.

Yi Ge's order was conveyed to these directly subordinate troops around him in time, so when Yi Ge left, these men and horses from the headquarters who had followed him for many years also began to retreat. This greatly reduced the pressure on the cavalry of the Tiance Army, which had been fighting fiercely, after all, the quality and strength of the cavalry of the Tiance Army except for the Dangxiang cavalry battalion, the quality and strength of the other Han cavalry were still slightly inferior to these nomads. However, when it comes to pursuit, it is not much inferior, especially after being equipped with a small chain crossbow, this method of chasing close and shooting directly with an arrow will soon completely defeat these Wen Mo people who are ready to escape. With the cavalry of the Tiance Army on all sides, some people began to rush towards their own formation in a panic, so that Yige's main formation was also completely disrupted.

This scene was reported by the piggyback to Wan Yi in the Chinese army. Wan Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately transferred the rear troops into the battle group, for him, the elimination of these miscellaneous armies of 100,000 is not worth the destruction of the Wen Mo people's headquarters 10,000 people, the importance of soon the heavy cavalry battalion and the Modao battalion and even the artillery battalion began to draw manpower out of battle, and together with Qian Lao Liu's infantry battalion, they formed a support corps of about 20,000 people, and quickly passed through the rear and came to the Yige main formation.

This completely announced the destruction of the cavalry at the end of Wen, and the addition of these people made the battle no longer possible, and the cavalry that freed up their hands began to hand over the task of encirclement and suppression to the support brigade, and the others completely surrounded Yige under the leadership of Toyota.

"Yige, surrender immediately, or I will kill all your people." Wan Yi immediately stepped forward and saw that Yige was still resisting, and immediately sneered.

With a wave of the scimitar in his hand, Yige held up the three cavalry knives that slashed at him, and roared angrily: "Wan Yi, don't be complacent, I have been crisscrossing Hexi for so many years, and I have never known what surrender is, if you have the ability, we will fight alone, I want to see if your martial arts have improved in the past few years." ”

Yige's words made Tie Liang, who came with Wan Yi, furious, and shouted: "Yige, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to fight with my handsome family?" ”

Before Tie Liang finished speaking, he was blocked by Wan Yi waving his hand, "You lead the team to surround them, and I'll catch this guy." ”

"Dashuai, don't be so troublesome, right?" Tie Liang glanced at Yi Ge, who was heavily surrounded, and Hou Yong, who rushed over on horseback, and said, "Why don't you go up and stab you to death with one shot?" ”

Wan Yi shook his head and said: "I heard that the southwest side has caught the mulberry bear, let's take Yige and leave a head sacrifice flag for the lord to restore the Western Regions and the Northern Tibetan Plateau in the future." After saying this, he said in a loud voice: "Yige, let your people stop immediately, I will give you a chance, as long as you can defeat me, I will let you live, otherwise I will obediently dismount and surrender, otherwise I will kill everyone present and pay tribute to the soul of my Tang Dynasty who died in Anxi." ”

Wan Yi's words made the cavalry of the Tiance Army, who was fighting with the other party, retreat in unison, and locked the encirclement on Yige and the others who were present.

"Okay, it's worthy of General Wan Yi I know, let's decide the winner in one game. Come on. Seeing the other party retreating, Yige knew that Wan Yi was playing really, and immediately held the blood-stained scimitar and said with a cruel smile.

Wan Yi stretched out his hand to take the Tang Dao handed over by the guards beside him and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, so let me try your martial arts." As soon as the words fell, the war horse that sat down suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Yige.

"Dangdangdang" The two of them crossed their horses, attacking three times like lightning, and the gold and iron collided again, and the long knife in Wan Yi's hand was quickly swung out, colliding with Yige's scimitar.

"Tie Liang, why does the big marshal suddenly want to duel with Yige? The two of them knew each other before? Hou Yong saw the Wen Mo cavalry on the other side, who was about to end the battle with the help of the support team, and asked curiously to Tie Liang, who had not even had time to change the iron armor beside him.

"In the early years, it was this Yige who invaded Lingzhou several times with the Wen Mo people, and at that time, the marshal was in charge of the iron spear capital, and he fought with this guy not a hundred times, but also ninety times. The Wen people always bullied our cavalry and were not their opponents, showing off their might under Lingzhou City. Once, in order to save a brother who was caught by this guy, Dashuai personally stepped forward to fight with him for dozens of rounds, and saved that brother at the risk of being slashed. The two met because of this, and I heard that the two had drunk together later, and Yige also persuaded the marshal to surrender to them, but the marshal refused, and they have not met since then, until today. Tie Liang recalled the past of the previous Lingwu Army era, and he was also embarrassed.

"I have long heard that this Yige is a rare warrior among the Wen Mo people, both wise and brave, you see that he and Dashuai have fought for more than 20 rounds and still don't know whether they win or lose." Before the two of them finished speaking, a voice came out from behind them, and Shi Jian also came over at some point.

"I said Commander Shi, why do you have the leisure to come over, are we still fighting now?" Hou Yong was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"I'm over, those ragtag soldiers who haven't died have basically been caught, only a few have escaped, my Modao battalion has no way to pursue, can't outrun them." Shi Jian shook his hands and smiled: "Do you see that there is still a war behind us?" They're all cleaning up the battlefield now. ”

Hou Yong and Tie Liang looked back and sure enough, the soldiers of the Tiance Army who were all over the battlefield either pressed a group of prisoners in the direction of the big camp or began to clean up the battlefield and save the wounded, and even Tie Liang's heavy cavalry battalion began to assist the infantry in guarding the prisoners, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "You can do it, the Modao Battalion is planning to become famous in a battle?" Why do you steal the limelight from my heavy cavalry camp everywhere? ”

"How dare I, my Iron General." Shi Jian smiled and pointed to the two people who were still fighting in the field, and his face became extremely serious: "I also dealt with Yige a few years ago, but he is a well-known fierce general among the Wen people, if the marshal can catch him, it will not be a little bit of a blow to the momentum of the Wen people, which is very conducive to the subsequent battle to recover Hexi, and it also provides favorable conditions for the lord to deal with the Wen people after the war." ”

Shi Jian's words also made the two of them suddenly understand the significance of Wan Yi's actions, but the two of them were not sure what Li Xuanqing planned to do with Wen Moren, so they looked at Shi Jian in unison, and the latter smiled and said, "Aren't Wen Mo people also Tubo people." ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the others suddenly stopped talking, and there were so many twists and turns in this? However, a few people didn't think about anything else, and these things outside the battlefield were not in the scope of their consideration, and after saying that, several people refocused on the field.

Different from the Wen Mo cavalry who stared at their own coach nervously, the Tiance army is a lot more at ease, at least from the current point of view, Wan Yi has the absolute upper hand, Yi Ge has been fighting for so long, his strength has long been consumed, and he is not Wan Yi's opponent at all, after dozens of moves, the two of them moved from the horse to the ground, this time Wan Yi's advantage is more obvious, the momentum brought up by the Tang knife is more aggressive, and the strong force makes Yi Ge numb every time he collides with the opponent's weapon.

In the fierce battle, Wan Yi pressed a Mount Tai, and the long knife slashed down with his head, and his unrivaled momentum and strength shook Yige to the ground at once, and sneered: "Yige, I haven't seen you for so many years, and your martial arts haven't grown much?" ”

After Yi Ge fell to the ground and spat blood, the scimitar in his hand was thrown on the ground and ignored Wan Yi's sneer: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, I only hope that you, Wan Dashuai, can keep your promise and don't hurt my brother." ”

Wan Yi waved his hand, Tie Liang stepped forward and lifted Yi Ge up, and sneered at the stunned Wen Mo Praetorian Guards behind him: "If you don't descend at this time, when will you stay?" ”

These Praetorian Guards immediately began to make a commotion when they saw their commander being carried like this, but at this time, Yige spoke in Tibetan, quieted them down, and after a long silence, they began to slowly put down their weapons.

With the beginning, the rest was easy to do, and the infantry and other horses of the Tiance Army also drove over at this time and detained all these Praetorian Guards, and at this point, the battle of Hexi was over.

After arranging for other people to do the aftermath separately, Wan Yi returned to Shuai Tent to write down the general process of the battle and the results of the battle into a summary of the battle situation, and sent people to fly and ride back to the Lingzhou General Staff.

That night, the more than 100,000 troops of the Tiance Army held a labor army meeting outside Wuwei City to celebrate the victory of the battle. During the banquet, the senior generals of the Tiance Army, including Shi Jian Tieliang, all drank heartily and toasted to the east, celebrating that the Tang Dynasty army had finally defeated its old enemy after a hundred years and advanced into Hexi.

The good news was frequent, and the two major battles in the northwest region were also quickly conveyed to various places after the General Staff sorted out, and the whole Tiance Mansion was completely boiled by these two good news, and all localities immediately set off a frenzy of marching into Hexi. The Ministry of Civil Affairs of Tiance Prefecture immediately began to announce a plan to mobilize manpower and material resources to open up the Helan Mountain Passage and accelerate the speed of the operation of materials in the Guan. In front of the military front of the Tiance Army, the people under the rule of Tiance Mansion felt as if they had returned to the era of active exploration and enterprising in the Tang Dynasty.

"Lord, this news is really timely, and it has greatly enhanced the people's confidence in my Tiance Mansion." Cen Tianshi smiled at the summary of political information from all over the country.

"The people's hearts are available." Li Xuanqing also nodded and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs must guide and publicize in a timely manner, so that the people can see tangible benefits from the recovery of the country, so that the people will be tied to the chariot of our Tiance Mansion's external expansion." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the enthusiasm of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is unusually high." Cen Tianshi understood what Li Xuanqing meant, nodded and said, "Murong has already arranged for the Department of Industry and Commerce to conduct a preliminary inspection, and those wealthy businessmen are already preparing now." Rest assured. ”

"The first battle in Hexi defeated the main force of the Wen Mo people, and the rest is not a problem, the hundreds of thousands of troops can be pushed over, there is no problem with the follow-up plan of the General Staff, everything can be left to Wan Yi." Li Xuanqing smiled at Hu Xiaosi, who was not leaving, and said, "Go and give an order to Tianxiang." ”

"Does the lord mean that he intends to transfer the main force to the east?" Hu Xiaosi heard a different meaning and hurriedly asked.

"It can be handled as appropriate, at least the heavy cavalry battalion can be transferred eastward." Li Xuanqing said with a smile: "The northwest campaign is dominated by cavalry, let the directly subordinate battalion replace the heavy cavalry battalion, and the Modao battalion will stay in Hexi and use it as the main corps." After a pause, he continued: "Let the General Staff handle the specific situation at its discretion, and there is no need to report everything. ”

"Okay, the big guy over there is ready, and we can use Hexi as the area where the first section will be opened to traffic. This time so many people have been captured, so you have to make good use of it. Li Xuanqing said with a smile.

"Haha, don't worry, my lord, this won't waste a little." Cen Tianshi laughed and said, and then asked curiously: "It's just that Helan Mountain is blocking the main road from Lingzhou to Hexi, what can the lord do?" ”

Li Xuanqing didn't answer his question, just nodded at Hu Xiaosi and smiled: "I heard that the logistics department has improved the new gunpowder, I think the secrecy level of the first generation of gunpowder can be lowered a little, hand it over to Yang Yi, let him figure out a way." ”

"What do you mean?" Cen Tianshi didn't react, and said in surprise.

Li Xuanqing stood up and looked at the west, as if he saw the scene of the giant dragon in the later generations going all the way through the mountains and mountains towards the far west.

Qiaoxi, who came over on the side, saw Li Xuanqing's expression and immediately understood what the other party was thinking, smiled slightly, walked over and pulled his sleeve, and said with a smile: "The Hexi region has been restored, do you want to go over and have a look if the big brother has time, and remember the relics of the year?" Would it be good to go and see the beautiful Qilian Mountain? ”

"Qilian Mountain?" Li Xuanqing's heart moved, and he suddenly laughed when he looked at his skillful face.
