Maitreya Buddha really died, the followers of Maitreya rushed to the position of the Hexi army like crazy, to regain Song Zixian's head, under the dense arrows of the Hexi army, more than 2,000 people were shot dead in one breath, and the Maitreya team withdrew from the battlefield, turned around and rampage in the camp of the Tang army, and even set fire. Li Shimin was helpless, and with an order, the Tang army surrounded the Maitreya believers to carry out a massacre, and the two sides killed for three hours, and the battle ended with all the Maitreya believers killed.

The attack of the Hexi Army began at this time, with the cooperation of three hundred martial arts masters, Yang Yanshi's Hubu battalion advanced step by step, twenty airships were put into battle, the Tang army fought hard for more than an hour, the front village was lost, and the Chinese army camp was blown up; The rockets of the Hexi Army, under the guidance of the airship, accurately covered the small village where the grain and grass were stored, and it was not until the Xuanjia cavalry came out that the Hubu battalion was expelled from the position, but in the face of the hard bow on the wooden ox flowing horse, the Xuanjia cavalry could not expand the results.

Li Shimin launched a night attack at night, but in the face of the intensive defense of the Hexi army, the Xuanjia cavalry only captured a small village in the west, and paid the price of 400 cavalry. As soon as the sky dawned, the Hexi Army launched a general attack, and the 30,000 troops, under the leadership of the Hubu Battalion, once again rushed into the camp of the Tang Army, and hit the Chinese army of the Tang Army before noon; Li Shimin had to give the order to throw all the lightly wounded into battle to make up for the lack of personnel.

In the fierce battle until the afternoon, the Hexi Army still did not increase its strength, but only relied on hundreds of wooden oxen and horses to attack the Tang army's position; Li Shimin finally ordered: "The Xuanjia cavalry will attack and eat these 30,000 people." ”

Relying on the strength of the Tang army's camp, even if there were Xuanjia cavalry, they would not be able to eat the Hexi army on the opposite side, but as the Tang army released fireworks, Liu Zhenghui and Tudiji led 10,000 cavalry to set off from the ambush point twenty miles away like a whirlwind, and rushed towards Qingchi County like a whirlwind. But just when crossing a small stream, the other side of the river was like a rain of arrows, and when Tu Diji rushed ashore at the expense of casualties, the cavalry of the Hexi Army suddenly appeared on the bank, with 15,000 horsemen, and under the leadership of 1,000 heavy cavalry, they were killed in a row of mountains.

Song Jingang raised his horse lance high and shouted: "Annihilate the Tang army and march to Liaoxi." ”

Countless people shouted, and the hooves of the Hexi army were like thunder, and the sound of killing shook the sky, launching a fierce attack on the Tang army; Tudi Ji was shocked, the number was inferior, and a third of the troops were crossing the river, completely losing the first opportunity. But at this moment, it is impossible to retreat, and I only hope that when the vitality is extinct, the soldiers under him can fight for their lives, killing one is enough, killing two to earn one.

However, the heavy cavalry of the Hexi Army, all the horses and lances, could not be stopped at all, and the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Devil were all ghosts in a few rounds. With another round of fighting, the casualties of the warriors were even greater, and the opposing cavalry rushed upwards at the cost of two thousand men, and after paying the price of two thousand, Tudiji lost the authority of command, and a large number of soldiers turned their horses and fled to the other side of the river, ignoring the arrows fired from behind.

If you are killed by an arrow in the river, there is still a possibility of escape, but if you continue to fight, it is a dead word; Tu Di Ji understood that if he continued to be loyal to Li Tang, he would not only get death, but also the destruction of the tribe, so he knocked Liu Zhenghui off his horse with a knife, and let the soldiers on the left and right tie up Liu Zhenghui, shouting: "We surrender." ”

The Hexi army maintained the offensive until all the enemies jumped off their horses and laid down their weapons, and then ordered Tudi Ji and other 5,000 soldiers to assemble in the open area of the river beach; Liu Zhenghui understands that the survival rule of the Cypriot tribe is that the weak eat the strong, and these weak tribes are the grass on the wall, with no loyalty at all, but they still can't bear the treachery of the sudden Diji, and they are held up by two warriors, and Liu Zhenghui keeps vomiting blood all the way.

Song Jingang immediately sent Meng to lead 5,000 cavalry back to aid Qingchi County, hearing the news of the surrender of the Yan army, the Tang army knew that the general trend had gone, and could no longer maintain the courage to fight, countless soldiers laid down their weapons and fled for their lives, only the Xuanjia cavalry led by Li Shimin was still rushing to kill, the eldest grandson Wuji left Tang Jian to guard the camp, led all the cavalry to rush out, and Li Shimin said: "King Qin, now is the last chance, return to Liaoxi quickly." ”

When Li Shimin saw that there were still more than 4,000 horsemen, he immediately joined forces, fought out of the battlefield, and fled to Bohai Bay; The remaining Tang army had no backbone, and in less than half an hour, Xu Shiji broke through Dazhai, and Tang Jian committed suicide. Xu Shiji ordered Song Jingang to pursue with 10,000 cavalry, counted the battlefield by himself, captured 20,000 Tang troops, and countless heavy equipment; Li Shimin broke his arm to survive, constantly spread suspicions, and when Song Jingang investigated every clue in detail, he seized the time to flee back to Yingzhou, and Song Jingang killed a thousand horsemen and returned to the Tang army.

Yang Chong ordered Liu Heimin to be the governor of Zhuo County, and sent the heads of Song Zixian, Liu Zhenghui, Tang Jian, and Li Ying to Chang'an to report the victory. Regarding the matter of the Shaolin Twelve Stick Monks, Yang Chong still wrote a letter to Caotang Temple, hoping that they would come forward to contact Shaolin Temple and find out the reason for the contact between Shaolin Warrior Monk and Li Shimin. Yang Chong explained his point of view, as long as he said it truthfully, this situation would not occur again in the future, and he could not blame the past.

Li Shimin now only occupies the two counties of Liaoxi and Yuyang, if Luo Yi's Beiping County can be loyal to Chang'an, Li Shimin is trapped in Youzhou; But Yang Chong understands that Luo Yi is not Du Fuwei, Luo Yi was born in the scholar clan, and he does not have the courage to bet on his head, as long as the Turks are not destroyed, Luo Yi still has the idea of separating himself as the king. Sure enough, Luo Yi was not ready to come to meet, so he sent his younger brother Luo Shou as an envoy to Cangzhou, and still appointed Wen Yanbo as the long history of King Yan.

Yang Chong bluntly expressed his opinion to Luo Shou: "Wen Yanbo is a key offender, and he is not suitable to serve as the chief historian of King Yan, and in the current situation, if King Yan still wants to divide one side, it will be wrong." In this way, you go back to see King Yan and say so, if it is inconvenient for him, I can go to Beiping to see him. ”

Luo Shou was very embarrassed, and said with a smile: "King Yue said that he was joking, mainly because the wind and snow came early this year, and just after the grain was harvested, God changed his face, and my brother was worried about the defense of Beiping and the livelihood of the people, so he really couldn't get away." If King Yue can come, it will be a blessing for his brother. ”

Yang Chong thought for a while and said: "In December, I will move to Beiping, hoping to meet King Yan at that time to discuss the matter of conquest of Li Shimin, and Wen Yanbo must be escorted to Zhuo County." ”

After Luo Shou returned, Beiping immediately put thirty miles south to set up defenses, and the Hexi Army and the Cui family found out that Luo Yi sent people to contact Gao Kaidao and Li Shimin, and Yang Chong then discussed with Xu Shiji and approved Liu Heimin's plan to attack Beiping.
