The next day, the news that Li Yuan had built the crown prince to guard Chang'an was announced, and the whole court was in an uproar, and the ministers of civil and military affairs had already faintly felt that His Majesty Tang himself did not have the confidence to defend the city, and the situation was not optimistic.

Some ministers still tried to persuade them, but nothing changed, and the vast majority of ministers wanted to retreat and not fight to the end.

This time with Li Yuan's withdrawal, there is a group of officials, most of them joined Li Tang's team in Jinyang, some ministers insisted on staying, to help the prince Shucheng, most of them are people who close the foundation, they have more ideas, or continue to develop in the pass, once Chang'an is lost, they directly take refuge in Dahua, and they can still be nobles and high-ranking officials.

If you retreat to Jinyang with Li Yuan, you will be completely labeled as Li Tang, and the princes will compete for hegemony in the future, and there will be no choice.

Judging from the current situation, it is certain that Dahua will have a greater chance of being able to unify the world, and many officials of the gate lords and nobles are human spirits, and they are unwilling to follow Li Tang and evacuate.

In the entire Chang'an City, there are some signs of disorder, although the imperial court has repeatedly strictly controlled the news and suppressed public opinion, but in the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs are mixed with some intelligence personnel, and the news is sent in time, so more and more people know the news that the Tang Emperor withdrew to Taiyuan County.

Luo Zhaoyun with 70,000 troops quickly swept over, forcing Li Yuan to leave prematurely and not dare to stay.

The Dahua army surrounded Chang'an City, the iron armor was cold, the east and west and the south were set up on three sides, in addition to the south gate of 30,000 soldiers and horses, the east and west were stationed with 20,000 people, the north because it was close to Longshou Mountain and the royal garden, heavy Xuanmen, it was not easy to attack, so it was only surrounded on three sides, and began to camp together.

Luo Zhaoyun divided Qin Qiong to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to attack Shiping City, and then intercepted the Tang army led by Zhang Zhenzhou, and attacked the soldiers and horses of Laihu'er and Hou Junji.

besieged the city to help, Luo Zhaoyun first wanted to trap Chang'an, so that the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City did not dare to go out, tied their hands and feet, and when the Tang army outside was cleaned up, Chang'an City was like catching a turtle in an urn.

............

After the old general Zhang Zhenzhou received the holy decree, he shouted in his heart that retreating at this time was tantamount to cutting off his hands and feet, being pursued by the enemy, it is conceivable that he would cover up and entangle all the way, and retreat for hundreds of miles, it is estimated that the corpses will be everywhere.

But the military order is like a mountain, Chang'an City is in danger, if he insists on staying here, it is meaningless, because the supply road is cut off later, and their 60,000 or 70,000 troops may not last a month, and there will be a shortage of grain and grass.

Zhang Zhenzhou had to retreat, but with his many years of experience in his career as a horseman, he could not retreat directly, so he left 10,000 horses to continue to guard the camp, and he withdrew overnight with 60,000 elite soldiers.

When the sky was bright, Hou Junji and Lai Hu'er immediately launched an attack after learning the news, and the Tang army camp held out for half a day before it was completely broken.

However, this is Zhang Zhenzhou leading the army and out of the land of a hundred miles, Hou Junji immediately took 20,000 cavalry, pursued first, and Lai Hu'er led the rest of the army and advanced to Chang'an City.

"Uh......h Woo woo......" Dozens of horns sounded one after another, majestic and long, piercing the sky.

With the sound of the horn, you can see a black line on the distant wilderness, from far to near, it is all cavalry, rolling and pressing.

Qin Qiong led his soldiers and horses to intercept him, and wanted to give Zhang Zhenzhou's troops a heavy blow.

Originally, Qin Qiong wanted to fight an ambush, but Zhang Zhenzhou was experienced and avoided the beginning of Pingcheng, as well as dense forests and mountain areas, and walked around to the southeast, so as to avoid the ambush circle, forcing Qin Qiong to lead the cavalry diagonally to block the attack.

Zhang Zhenzhou held the reins, held a spear, and shouted: "This fish scale array, meet the enemy!" ”

The military order was drunk, immediately executed, the three armies immediately took action, there was a well-trained main force of the Tang Army in the army, and it was lightly armed, there was no baggage trouble, the formation speed was very fast, and when the Dahua iron cavalry rushed to the front, the spears and spears were like a forest, and a large array had been laid out layer by layer, and the infantry should be used to fight the cavalry, and their own cavalry would be used to outflank the two wings.

"One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps......."

Zhang Zhenzhou carried a spear and stared coldly at the Dahua army rushing in the distance, his face was full of frost and murderous floating.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The archers behind the spears and shields began to shoot at the cavalry, while the Dahua cavalry, armed with short crossbows, were also shooting at the infantry phalanx.

Plop plop

The cavalry that rushed to the front landed with an arrow, and then tripped over the comrades behind, and the man turned on his back, but the impact of the war horse was very fast and did not affect the overall situation.

Qin Qiong used the Glaive Array to charge, like the blade of the Glaive Knife, even if there was damage, but after three rounds of arrow rain, Dahua's thousands of vanguard death squads had already killed and began to press towards it.

Those iron cavalry warriors, although they saw the countless bows and crossbows in the big array, the guns were dense, and they were not afraid, in fact, in such a situation where ten thousand horses were charging into battle, they could no longer control their footsteps and speed, and they could not stop, otherwise, the people behind would hit a person on their backs, and they must maintain their speed, rush forward without hesitation, and survive in death.

"Throw!"

Some of the soldiers who were riding in front suddenly shouted, someone took out a black powder bag from behind, and threw it towards the phalanx at the same time, and the crossbow machine behind lit a fire, shooting towards the black powder explosive bag in the air, and suddenly, the explosion sounded.

"Boom, boom!"

This batch of Tang troops had not yet encountered such a powerful thunderstorm, and suddenly the men and horses panicked, their morale was greatly reduced, and pieces of Tang soldiers and soldiers were killed, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

"Charge!"

He Ruohuai was holding a spear, and as the general of this group of thousands of cavalry, he commanded the iron cavalry to enter the phalanx, wanting to tear through the formation of the Tang army.

"Puff puff!"

Due to the destruction of the spear array, the damage of the cavalry is much reduced, and with the momentum of horsepower, it hits the infantry crowd, and even the stabbing and stabbing collides, and one cavalry can hurt several infantry.

But the officers and men of the Tang Army were not to be outdone, several people gathered together on the ground, spears and halberds alternately stabbed out, stabbing people on the top and stabbing horses down, a burst of stabbing, once a cavalry was shot and fell off the horse, or the horse was injured and rolled down and fell, it was immediately stabbed to death by a random gun.

At this time, the second wave of thousands of Dahua troops charged over and killed the flank of the phalanx.

"Cavalry to fight!" Zhang Zhenzhou drank the order, and the preserved cavalry strength, which also came in handy, came out from the flanks and fought with Dahua's cavalry.
