On August 27, the fourth year of Tiancheng, that is, the day after the Northern Route Army launched the Battle of Jianzhou, Li Congjing raised the three armies out of the Beishan camp and arrived outside Pu'an County to line up. At the beginning of the hour, Zhu Shouyin returned to Li Congjing, and the forbidden army array had been arranged according to his requirements.

In this battle, Li Congjing still stood tall outside the battle shed, facing the battlefield with his back to the sun.

The military advisor sacrificed to the wine king Pu and reported the environmental situation of the day: "Today is a sunny day, the city is in the west, our army is in the east, the battle before the afternoon is beneficial to me, and the battle in the afternoon is beneficial to him; Today, the wind is light, and the wind direction is from west to east, which is beneficial to him, but this wind can only affect the bow and lose one or two, and has little effect on the crossbow arrow. According to the celestial phenomena, there may be strong winds in the afternoon, and most of the grass and trees on the mountains have been cut down before, so you should pay attention to the enemy army in the back mountains to prevent them from burning the dust."

After Wang Pu finished speaking, Mo Li, the first army division, said again: "Those who fight today are forbidden troops. Yesterday, the two armies of defending the country and protecting the righteous army were defeated, suffering heavy losses, and the morale of the enemy was high. The forbidden army of our army has been sharpening its edge for several years, and it is waiting for a battle to be justified, and its morale can be used."

Li Congjing sat down and said, "Morale is available?" Not enough. ”

"Then, what military orders does the marshal have?" Mo Li asked.

"How's the Forbidden Army's military song rehearsed?"

"From the commanders to the soldiers, they can all chant."

"Order, chant military songs!"

"Whoa!"

Under the hill where Li Congjing stood, there were 100 light cavalry heralds, waiting for the delivery of the military order.

The horse's hooves kicked dust, the flags were fluttering, and the heralds galloped in front of the military formations, and the general's orders were delivered to the ministries: "The commander has an order, chant military songs!" ”

"The commander has an order, recite a military song!"

"The commander has an order, recite a military song!"

The sound of war drums of "dong" and "dong" sounded slowly and powerfully.

Hundreds of large and small military formations, densely scattered all over the low hills, 50,000 elite armor soldiers, dressed in strict order, lined up, listening to the sound of war drums, for a moment there was no sound.

In the camp of the Xichuan Army, Li Zhao looked at the Wang Division who was attacking in a big way, and he was already waiting solemnly, and the crossbows of all departments were in place, just waiting for the next battle, but the other party's drums sounded like thunder, but he didn't see half of the opponent's army array, which made Li Zhao a little puzzled, he turned to the left and right, "The war drums are sounding, and the army is not moving, what does the Tang Army want?" ”

"I don't know." Left and right answers.

Li Zhao didn't understand, spat and scolded: "Shit! What about singing?! ”

Suddenly, Li Zhao's expression was stunned, he heard a sudden sound of metal colliding, like a wave, following the reputation, he saw the soldiers in the opponent's army formation, the shield-bearer, hitting the shield with a knife, the gun-wielding person, slamming the ground with a gun, and the knife-wielding person, punching his chest, banging. The voice of this jingo was issued by 50,000 people together, which was terrifying.

Li Zhao's face changed slightly.

The morning sun erupted, the glow sprinkled all over the earth, the soldiers were like bathed in golden light, and 50,000 children spoke: "Drunk to pick up the lamp to see the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp, 800 miles under the command, fifty strings turn over the outside sound, the battlefield autumn soldiers!" ”

Li Congjing stood on the top of the mountain, the three armies under his feet shouted in unison, and in the military formation, the pennant fluttered, and the iron armor hummed. One looks at Jianzhou City, then looks at Jianmen Pass, and three looks at the vast land. The great mountains and rivers make people proud, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, and they want to flutter their wings and soar.

The soldiers chanted in unison: "China has been a strong country since ancient times, and China has always been a strong country. The old Qin army in Kansai has swept Liuhe for ten years. Han Wu rode three million, and he did not break Loulan's oath and did not return it. Taizong opened up thousands of miles, and the Tang Dynasty was intimidating! ”

The country is delicate, and it is magnificent for eternity. Li Congjing closed his eyes, and opened them suddenly, recalling the past and thinking about the present, how many dynasties have hegemony, and how many romantic figures. This country has fallen for thousands of years, the green mountains can be flattened, the big river is diverted, the winter snow and summer thunder, the vicissitudes of the sea, only the name of the hero does not fall, but the great deeds of Yu Feng can be sung.

The drums are getting heavier, the sound of armor is getting heavier, the earthquake is trembling, the white clouds are dissipating, and the imperial hot-blooded children in front of them are in their prime, wearing heavy armor, holding sharp weapons, fighting on the battlefield, leading and singing, and their attitudes are high.

They sang again: "Look at the white, destroy more than one million enemies for the country, and fight all your life without complaining; Look at Wei Huo, stepping through the grassland is like strolling, not letting thieves and slaves dare to look south; Look at Xue Li, the general's three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain, and the heroic appearance is beautiful! ”

With the handle of the knife in his right hand, the war horse under his crotch shaved his hooves, as if he wanted to fight hard, Li Congjing heard that the rivers and mountains seemed to be responding to the shouts of the soldiers.

Thinking back then, he was weak and weak, and with ten years of hard work, he joined the army, and all he wanted was to live. Now, he is close to the age of standing, and another ten years have passed, during which he has been dreaming of sleeping, battlefield conquests, bleeding in foreign lands, and countless times of dying to survive, but he also has a meritorious deed to sue, and he is expected to be a hero through the ages!

Today, he has 100,000 heroes in his hands, and he can finally make it happen, and thousands of troops will work hard!

50,000 sons, 50,000 iron armor, the sound is like rolling thunder, the momentum is thick and sonorous, and the voice is sung: "The soldiers are the heroes of a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud does not change its appearance!" Protect the monarch and the people for the shield of the country, and fight the ministers for the spear of the country! ”

The crowd was excited, like a tiger in a cage, like a dragon in the sea, and they sang again: "Protect the monarch and the people, and don't fight the ministers!" Who asks the heroes of the Han and Tang Dynasties, iron bones! Who asks the heroes of the Han and Tang Dynasties, iron bones! Protect the monarch and the people, and don't fight the ministers! ”

"Boom" and "boom" several times, 50,000 soldiers, heavy shields hit the ground, iron fists hit the chest, the sound vibrated the universe, straight to the sky, "Autumn soldiers on the battlefield!" Autumn soldiers on the battlefield! Protect the army and the people for the shield of the country, and fight the unsubsidizing for the spear of the country! ”

Li Congjing's eyes sank, and the roar of the soldiers lingered in his ears, which seemed to never stop.

Behind him, a group of staff members had resolute eyes and high morale, as if they were not advisers, and they would have been ready to put on armor and go into battle to drive the army. Feng Dao, Su Fengji and other civil officials were dumbfounded, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, how could they have seen such a battle, and how could they have experienced the real Han and Tang dynasties?

Li Congjing drew his knife and shook his arm, "Pass on my military order: go to war!" “

Count the romantic characters, and look at the present day!

The sound of a heavy horn sounded, and the heralds galloped across the mountains, shouting loudly: "The commander has an order, go to war!" ”

"The commander has an order, go to war!"

"The commander has an order, go to war!"

"The commander has an order, go to war!"

On the other side of the river bridge, in the Xichuan military camp, Li Zhao was stunned for a while, 50,000 warriors sang in unison, the momentum was naturally extraordinary, even if he was an enemy general, he was also shocked for a long time, such a majestic atmosphere, people who were a little more timid and weak, would not be able to bear it, right?

Li Zhao looked around left and right, and saw that many soldiers in the Xichuan army were stunned, and they looked like they were shocked, so he felt a little bad, he gritted his teeth and bowed his head, and said hatefully: "The momentum is enough, but I don't know if it's useless!" ”

What is a military song, he has never heard of it, and when he first saw it today, the fierce and high-spirited spirit of the other party made him very jealous, to be honest, he was indeed shocked. In the army of the time, there was no shortage of people who shouted slogans when they rushed into battle, but it was really unheard of to have such a military song in their throats before the war. But on the contrary, Li Zhao knew that this method was very effective.

As the main general, he knew what he should do at this time, so he drew his sword and shouted: "Although the momentum of the thief army is strong, the combat power is not worth fearing, have you forgotten how we defeated him with thousands of people the day before yesterday, and how we defeated them with a backhand yesterday?" “

"Wait and listen, Jianzhou is the gateway of the two rivers, if Jianzhou is lost, the two rivers will not be protected! If you don't fight against the water, once you are defeated and the thief army enters the country, your wife, children, property, and money will all become other people's things and let others enjoy them! Can you bear it?! ”

"Can't!" Nishikawa replied.

"Good! The thieves are coming, so wait and get ready! Li Zhao continued to shout loudly, "We have more than 1,000 strong crossbows, even if the thief army is outnumbered and powerful, it is useless, as long as they dare to rush into battle, they will be called like yesterday's enemy, losing their troops, throwing away their armor, and fleeing in embarrassment, do you know?!" ”

"I'll find out!" The morale of the Nishikawa generals has finally risen.

"Listen to my command, the crossbowmen are in position, ready to meet the enemy!" The enthusiastic response of the soldiers also made Li Zhao's uneasiness dissipate a lot, and he raised his arms and shouted, looking very sure.

Without waiting for Li Zhao to breathe a sigh of relief, the two generals Pang Fucheng and Xie Qi, who were standing beside him, suddenly looked a little strange, and Pang Fucheng even said loudly: "General, look, the movement of this thief army is a little strange. ”

"What's strange?" Li Zhao looked at it intently, but at first he didn't think about it, but after looking at it twice, his expression became serious.

Today's attack on the river bridge, it is not possible to talk about which army is the main attack, if you have to say, it can probably be regarded as the three armies of Hengchong, Longxiang, and Huwei. These three armies were assembled near the river bridge, and the Hengchong Army was the center.

Today's war started, and Li Congjing put all the forbidden troops on the battlefield, and all departments had tasks. The three armies of Hengchong, Longxiang and Huwei mainly attacked Heqiao and Chengchi, the Feiyun Army monitored and intercepted the Houshan Wang Hui Division, and the Hundred Battles Army served as a reserve force, ready to listen to and respond to all parties.

At this end of the river bridge, the Hengchong Army commanded Gao Xingzhou, the Long Xiang Army commanded the Huangfulin, and the Tiger Guard Army commanded Wang Sitong and the three of them together, immediately in front of the military formation, and watched the Xichuan military formation for a while.

"The Xichuan army also looks a little bit." Gao Xingzhou casually said a thought, "The military advisor said that there are more than 400 Fuyuan crossbows, more than 300 wooden single crossbows, more than 200 bamboo pole crossbows, and more than 100 winch crossbows?" ”

Huang Fulin added: "There are also thousands of single-bow crossbows. ”

"A single-bowed crossbow? Ha ha! ”

Gao Xingzhou helped the pocket and teased: "What are our guys called?" ”

"Big Fu Yuan Crossbow, Big Wooden Single Crossbow, Big Bamboo Pole Crossbow." Huangfulin Road.

"Missing a big winch crossbow?"

Huang Fulin said lightly: "The winch crossbow is used to siege the city, and it is not very suitable to deal with the military formation. ”

"But I saw that the Xichuan soldiers used it very smoothly."

Huang Fulin's eyes and tone were still flat, "It's just scary." ”

"Haha!" Gao Xingzhou laughed, "Brother Huangfu, you really don't have half a face." ”

At this time, Li Congjing's military order to go to war arrived.

After putting away the joking look, Gao Xingzhou's face became solemn, and he sneered: "Let these Xichuan soldiers open their eyes today, what is 'big'!" ”

"How many crossbows are you waiting for me?" Wang Sitong asked at this time.

"Not much." Gao Xingzhou said coldly, "It's just one or two times more than Xichuan soldiers!" ”

"Herald: Crossbow with strings, step back!"

Li Zhao's face was gloomy, his hands were clenched into fists, and the two generals Pang Fucheng and Xie Qi also showed surprise, not only the three of them, but all the Xichuan generals who could see the military formation in the section of the river bridge all looked like this.

In the Tang army formation, the neatly arranged crossbows were exposed, and the Fuyuan crossbow, the wooden single crossbow, and the bamboo pole crossbow were all in the column, but the difference with the Xichuan array was that the appearance of these Fuyuan crossbows, wooden single crossbows, and bamboo pole crossbows were different, and a significant feature was that they were one size larger than the crossbows in the Xichuan military array.

And what directly made the Xichuan generals lose color was the number of crossbows in the Tang army's formation, to say the least, which was twice as many as theirs!

The power of the Fuyuan crossbow, the wooden single crossbow, and the bamboo pole crossbow is clearly known to Li Zhao, Pang Fucheng, Xie Qi and others, didn't they rely on this to defeat the Protector Army yesterday?

And now, the opponent is fighting back twice as much, how can you not let them change color!

"I remember that when I was cutting down Shu, Guo Gong once said that almost all the large crossbows in the treasury were gone! Why are there so many large crossbows in the thief army formation at this time? This can't be! Li Zhao lost his voice.

Previously, Liangchuan acted rebelliously, why did Li Siyuan endure it again and again? not only endured it, but also continued to add officials to Meng Zhixiang and Li Shaobin, why? Is it because the two rivers are too far away for the imperial court to reach? Is it because there are 30,000 elite soldiers in Liangchuan, and the court is afraid of it? As the head of Guo Chongtao's soldiers and horses in Shu at that time, how could Li Siyuan not know that Guo Chongtao had emptied the strong crossbow weapons of the treasury!

"Meng Zhixiang, Li Shaobin, you have been waiting in Liangchuan to be powerful, reckless, contemptuous of the court, without a monarch, arrogant for so many years, and now, it's time to repay your debts!" On the top of the mountain, Li Congjing smiled coldly, "Dongchuan, Xichuan, what the empire once gave you, today, I want to take it back for the empire!" In this battle now, in the other way, give back to the other side, Jianzhou, you have to catch it! ”

The thunderous roar resounded through the heavens and the earth again!

The roar came from the forbidden army formation at this end of the river bridge, and fell into the Xichuan army formation at the other end!

Li Congjing saw that wherever the crossbow arrows went, the Xichuan soldiers fell down one by one like wheat.

In the Xichuan army formation, the crossbows began to return fire, but the forbidden army formation was well guarded, and the big shield wrapped in cowhide was erected in front and stood horizontally above the heads of the soldiers, which greatly reduced the lethality of the Xichuan crossbow arrows!

The strong crossbow in the forbidden army array, the first thing to be aimed at is the crossbow in the Xichuan army array, a few rounds of crossbow arrows sprinkled over, Xichuan's strong crossbow array, the combat effectiveness has been reduced by half!

Then, the forbidden army strengthened the crossbow and began to harvest the lives of the generals of Xichuan.

The Xichuan soldiers lost a fight to the death and sent the dead soldiers over, intending to rush into the forbidden army's formation, killing and injuring the crossbowmen, and destroying the crossbows, but how could the forbidden army let the other party succeed?

The forbidden army armor will meet the rushing Xichuan general and give it a head-on blow!

Over there, Li Zhao's face was pale, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his teeth were about to be crushed by himself. Yesterday, the Xichuan army defeated the Protector Army with just one round of crossbow arrows, and today, the Tang army on the opposite side is endlessly firing crossbow arrows at them!

Although the loading of crossbow arrows is not as convenient as the bow and arrow, it takes time, but the Xichuan soldiers will not be able to rush through the river bridge, and there is no way to take the opponent's crossbowmen, those crossbowmen can reload slowly and leisurely, and then aim for a salvo!

"If you don't destroy the strong crossbow formation of the thief army, I'll wait for death!" Li Zhao couldn't sit still, and immediately led his guards to rush across the river bridge.

Pang Fucheng and Xie Qi, two generals, grabbed Li Zhao and persuaded bitterly: "General, the Tang army is strong, and the river bridge is too narrow to rush through!" ”

Li Zhao was furious, shook off the second general, and shouted: "Yesterday, the Tang army could rush over, why can't the general rush over today?!" ”

"General! Even the general can rush over, but I am afraid that by that time, the soldiers here will also be killed and wounded! Pang Fucheng and Xie Qier persuaded each other bitterly.

Li Zhao was stunned, he looked left and right, and saw that the Xichuan army formation was completely chaotic, the soldiers fell in pieces and rows, and there were countless arrows in their bodies and incomplete limbs.

"What about Wang Hui? Why didn't he come to the rescue?! Li Zhao's heart was like a knife, and he was angry.

"General Wang's rescue was blocked by the thief army, and he couldn't come!" Pang Fucheng pointed to the distance and said loudly, over there, Wang Hui's men and horses were engaged in battle with the Feiyun Army.

"The matter has come to this, the general is leaving, the Tang army is about to rush over, and if the general doesn't leave, the city can't be saved!" Xie Qi drew his horizontal knife, "The last general is the general!" ”

Li Zhao was unwilling, but the situation was such that he could not be allowed not to leave, he slashed the fence of the watchtower with a knife, he turned around and ran down, gathered his troops and horses and retreated.

"Marshal, the Xichuan soldiers are retreating!" Mo Li reminded Li Congjing.

The Xichuan army has been chaotic, and the soldiers they intended to rush over were blocked by the forbidden army at the river bridge.

"Order, cross the bridge!" Li Congjing categorically ordered.

Li Zhao retreated to the city with the remnants of the army, the Xichuan army was suddenly defeated, the end was broken, many strong crossbows were too late to carry, the soldiers fled in embarrassment, Gao Xingzhou saw the opportunity, rolled up his horse and personally rushed into battle, led the troops to defeat the Xichuan soldiers on the river bridge, and easily rushed across the river bridge!

Feng Dao, Su Fengji and the others were stunned again, they really didn't expect that today's defeat of the Xichuan Army would be so fast!

Yesterday, the two armies of Protectorate and Baoyi were defeated in a battle, Li Congjing immediately ordered to collect the troops, everyone thought that the battle outside the city was very difficult to fight, I was afraid that it would be inevitable to fight for many days, tragic fighting, and such as Hong Jixin, thinking that Li Congjing was just a vain name, but he never thought that for today's battle, Li Congjing had already strategized and made sufficient preparations, and the speed of victory in a battle was faster than the defeat of Baoyi and the Protector Army yesterday!

Everyone looked at the King of Qin in front of them in awe, the other party's back was majestic, motionless like a mountain, and did not express anything because of the victory in front of them, they finally realized that they did not understand this famous general in a hundred battles before, and they were ignorant of the depth of the other party, but at this moment, they felt that this King of Qin was indeed unfathomable.

Feng Dao had experienced two battles in Lulong with Li Congjing before, and he was barely able to stabilize his mind, but at that time, Li Congjing had too many restrictions and few things to do, although he also defeated the enemy, the victory was far less than such an understatement, and after seven years, Feng Dao felt that the former leading general in front of him, and the current imperial humerus, became more and more terrifying.

Su Fengji had turbulent waves in his heart, and in the past two days, Li Congjing's shock to him was too strong, and he muttered: "King Qin, King Qin, this is my King Qin of the Tang Dynasty?" This is my Tang Dynasty King Qin! ”

Hong Jixin looked at the battlefield in a daze, and then looked at Li Congjing in a daze, full of enthusiasm surging everywhere, only feeling that there was nowhere to vent, and yesterday he wanted to speak out and admonish, and wanted to accuse Li Congjing of fear of war in person, but his thoughts were long gone, and he couldn't remember it at all. At this time, he couldn't wait to bow down, shouting that King Qin was wise and wise, and praised a heroic figure as it should be!

Mo Li shook the folding fan lightly, looking light and light, but when he inadvertently saw a strand of white hair on Li Congjing's head, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

Li Congjing sat steadily on horseback, overlooking the battlefield.

Thousands of soldiers of the Hengchong Army have rushed across the river bridge, chasing the Xichuan rout and killing the city of Jianzhou. The two armies of Longxiang and Huwei followed closely behind, waiting to cross the river, and in their military formations, siege equipment such as boxcars, crash cars, and ladders had already been prepared.

He took another look at the battle situation in the back mountain, Wang Hui attacked with the intention of rescuing Li Zhao's soldiers and horses, and when he saw Li Zhao retreating, he was already retreating.

"Order the three armies to attack the city immediately!" Li Congjing ordered.

Wiped out all the remnants of Xichuan on the other side of the river bridge, and the Hengchong Army, the Longxiang Army, and the Tiger Guard Army arrived at the foot of Jianzhou City one after another.

Li Congjing galloped down the mountain, passed the river bridge and the bloody battlefield, and came to the front of the three armies, under the city of Jianzhou.

On the city of Jianzhou, the soldiers of Liangchuan still did not recover from the terrifying defeat of Fang Cai, and looked at the eyes of the Tang army under the city, full of fear and uneasiness.

"Great Marshal, all the departments are ready to attack the city at any time!" Gao Xingzhou, Huang Fulin, and Wang Sitong galloped over, clasped their fists in front of Li Congjing, and asked for military orders.

Under the scorching sun, Li Congjing took off his royal robe, revealing a dazzling bright light armor, he raised his hand, and pointed his horsewhip at the head of Jianzhou City, "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, take it!" ”
