The Wenchi military report received by Li Congjing said that Li Yanlin led the heavy cavalry to defeat Yang Guangyuan's battle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Li Yanlin, who rushed to Wenchi first, after learning about Yang Guangyuan's whereabouts, after studying the geography and terrain, chose to cross the city without entering, and directly approached the north. On that day, Li Yanlin was about thirty miles north of Wenchi City, assembled his troops and waited for them, and set up a sentry post to monitor Yang Guangyuan's troops, and after the other party entered the attack range of the army, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and launched a thunderous offensive with heavy cavalry as the first to defeat his troops in one fell swoop.

Of course, the process was not without waves, and there was a small episode. Originally, Li Yanlin wanted to wait for Yang Guangyuan to enter the low mountain before attacking, and the terrain there was neither wide nor narrow, which was suitable for maximizing the advantages of the forbidden army. Unexpectedly, Yang Guangyuan sensed the danger in time, stopped the marching soldiers and horses, and sent people to approach the hidden sentry on the mountain. In a hurry, Li Yanlin's troops immediately made a decision and ordered a heavy cavalry attack, which led to the subsequent battle.

In this way, although the result of this battle was still a great victory, due to the vast terrain, the army did not form an encirclement, but it allowed Yang Guangyuan and Yao Luo Ge Ah Xuan to escape, and took away a lot of horse troops, but did not achieve the tactical goal of annihilating Yang Guangyuan's troops formulated by Li Yanlin in advance.

"Li Yanlin is a big-minded person, and the tactical deployment is very much in line with my appetite, although in the end he did not achieve the goal and let Yang Guangyuan escape back, but the results of this battle exceeded 7,000, and the number of beheadings even exceeded the number of prisoners, which can be regarded as the majesty of the forbidden army's heavy cavalry, which did not disappoint me." After reading the military report in the big tent, Li Congjing said to Meng Ping with a smile, and the importance of Li Yanlin in his words was very obvious.

Meng Ping sat at the bottom, and Meng Ping, who was more and more unsmiling in front of the soldiers and more and more arrogant and arrogant, was full of smiles at the moment, "The heavy cavalry rushes into battle, the momentum is like a thousand pounds, and the strength of the two sides is not too different, and it is common for the number of enemies killed to exceed the number of prisoners." Li Yanlin has the name of 'Three Heroes of the Martial Arts Academy', and has a heroic temperament with the style of his brother Li Yanchao, and this battle is worthy of his own identity. ”

Li Congjing nodded, since the Tongguang period he founded the Yanwu Academy in Youzhou, it has been thirteen years, the students who came out of the Yanwu Academy have already become the backbone of the main force in the army, the forbidden army has today's elite appearance, and this also has a great relationship with the Yanwu Academy, one of the two heroes Zhao Hongyin and An Chongrong, and the three heroes Shi Yanchao, Li Yanlin and Shi Chonggui in the fifth phase are all representative figures.

Putting down the military report, Li Congjing suddenly muttered: "Since Wen Chi and An Le have no thief army, according to the previous plan, the army should advance into Lingzhou City in an orderly manner, and there is nothing worth talking about...... Where is the army that marched to the west of the river now? ”

Lingzhou is Shuofang, not in the scope of Hexi, the forbidden army marched into Lingzhou, in essence, to use troops to Hexi, in the case of Hexi land occupied by all ethnic groups, into the land of Hexi, in addition to the north of Liang, Gan, Su and other states, there are also south of the river, Shan, Lang and other states (Lanzhou, Xining), this time Li Congjing led the troops to the northwest, that is, the soldiers were divided into two roads, one way north into Lingzhou, to solve the problem of the tribes and Xiazhou, the other road from Qinzhou, west into Kefu River, Shan, Lang and other states, and then look for opportunities to join forces, They entered the Liang, Gan, and Su areas together, until they reached Shazhou, where the Guiyi army was located, and looked towards the Western Regions.

"It is reported that Li Yanchao is leaving Qinzhou a few days ago, and his vanguard An Chongrong and Zhao Hongyin's troops have already invaded Minzhou, and Gao Xingzhou and Wang Sitong's troops have invaded Huizhou. Meng Ping was in charge of military affairs, and he knew all these things very carefully, while Li Congjing only took care of the overall strategic situation and did not do everything himself.

Qin and Wei Prefectures (the area around Tianshui City) are the westernmost territories of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yanchao is the chief general of the South Route Army. The ethnic groups entrenched in He, Shan, Lang and other prefectures are mainly descendants of Tubo, and they are generally the descendants of the forces of Shang and Wanwen in the past.

Originally, in history, Zhao Kuangyin's jade axe painting world, an understatement of "in addition to not all of me", abandoned the land west of the Dadu River, so that the territory of the Zhao and Song dynasties in the west of Tubo and Dali in the south, and then Zhao Guangyi tried to plot Xiazhou but could not, was the party nobleman Li Jiqian, with a group of poor soldiers jumping up and down, with guerrilla warfare to fight in the north, had to sit back and watch the party people conquer Hexi, according to the danger and the terrain and the high place and set up the Xixia country, the end of the Song Dynasty, militarily passive, strict prevention and difficulty, not to mention counterattack. When the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, it made a detour to Tubo to take Dali, and then attacked from the north and south, making the Southern Song Dynasty's defense line overstretched, losing the general trend of the war, and finally perishing.

Previously, after Guo Wei's southern expedition to Lingnan, taking advantage of the instability of Nanzhao's internal affairs, he flattened in one fell swoop, and now he is preparing to use troops on the Southwest Peninsula, and this time Li Congjing's personal expedition to Hexi is to open the western gateway, and the long lance and horizontal knife of the Tang Forbidden Army in the future will eventually conquer the Himalayas.

......

Tens of thousands of troops besieged Lingzhou City, the momentum was huge, and from a distance, it was like countless ants climbing the nest, densely stretching a piece, and seeing people's scalps numb. The method of siege, the simplest and most brutal and often the most practical tactic, is the word ant.

Shi Jingjiao and Yao Luo Ge Di Yin, Du Lun Lujia and others, standing on the watchtower above the city wall to watch the battlefield, the sunny and sunny autumn weather in the border land, making these people look heroic and extraordinary.

The so-called romance, but as long as you stand tall and have a lot of foils, you will have a few points no matter how bad the appearance is.

"Although this Lingzhou City is strong, Li Shaocheng's defense is also tight, but after all, there are only thousands of people, and after a long battle, our troops are far more than ten times that of them, and they are all brave and good at fighting, and we are not stingy with rewards, morale is high, as far as it seems, within ten days, this city will be broken!"

When Shi Jingjiao said this, his face was full of red light, and his eyes looked at Lingzhou City as if he was looking at his own backyard. The eyes of Yao Luo Ge Di Yin and Du Non Lujia were full of greed, like a hungry wolf staring at the food that had been coveted for a long time. Different from Shi Jingjiao, in the hearts of the two of them, attacking Lingzhou City means plundering, all the property and people in the city are in their own pockets, although Lingzhou City is not a rich place, but compared with Liang, Gan, Su and other states, it is undoubtedly more than that, and it is a big piece of fat for them.

"During the siege of the city, thanks to the courage of our Uighurs, who fought day and night, as you can see, our Uighur warriors suffered a lot of casualties, and after this breach, it is up to me Uighur warriors to take over the treasury." When Yao Luo Ge Di Yin spoke, his beard seemed to be showing his teeth and claws, and his eyes fell on Du Lun Lujia intentionally or unintentionally, and the color of demonstration and warning was extremely strong.

Although the city is large, there is only one treasury, which is the key to concentrating goods and materials, Du Lun Lujia is of course unwilling to let this piece of fat be taken away by Yao Luo Ge Di Yin, still with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Although the Uighur warriors are good at fighting, but my Tibetan soldiers also contribute a lot, and in terms of courage and good fighting, they are no worse than the Uighur warriors. ”

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin was immediately displeased when he heard this, his eyes became more and more gloomy, Du Lun Lu Jia did not give an inch, although his military strength was not as good as that of Yao Luo Ge Di Yin, but if he really wanted him to give up the fat willingly, it could not convince the greed in his heart.

Shi Jingjiao watched coldly, watching these two people compete against each other, laughing in his heart, and secretly said: One is a wolf, relying on his own strength, grinning all the time, his posture is really disgusting, which is annoying; One is embarrassed, hiding a knife in his smile, thinking that he is a laughing Buddha, but in fact he is just a handan toddler, which makes people laugh.

Shi Jingjiao knew in his heart that the two seemed to be fighting each other at this time, but in fact, they were just embarrassed, and they were not good things. The two of them want to divide the treasury and goods, but in fact, in their words, they have already tacitly excluded the Dingyan army, and this is the purpose of their singing this double reed opera - in advance, although Shi Jingjiao promised the soldiers of the Dingyan army not to take anything in the city, but the treasury is not within the scope, if there is no treasury supply, his army's siege attrition, there is nowhere to replenish.

In this way, the combat strength of the Dingyan army will be damaged and will inevitably weaken, and the comparison between its strength and that of the Hexi army will be larger. At that time, the tripartite army will enter the Central Plains, and it is difficult to say who will enter Luoyang.

"The wolf is ambitious, not a man, he has such a big appetite, and he is not afraid of breaking his belly!" Shi Jingjiao was clear about Yao Luo Ge Di Yin and Du Lun Lujia's thoughts, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, "These foreign thieves really don't have any good goods!" ”

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin and Du Lun Lujia were still arguing, and they were already facing each other red-faced, and their words were becoming more and more intense. Shi Jingjiao knew that he had to come forward to resolve their "conflict", after all, he was the "commander-in-chief" of the coalition forces and the "master" who invited people to be guests. And Yao Luo Ge Di Yin and Du Lun Lujia argued to this point, and the subtext was to ask Shi Jingjiao to appease.

Of course, the so-called pacification comes at a price, and as the "master", how can there be no overall situation and no spirit of sacrifice? Therefore, according to the current situation, Shishi Jingjiao could only say this: "Don't fight anymore, the marshal is willing to give up his share, not take anything from the treasury, and divide it equally between the two khans." The two khans also made a step forward, after all, Lingzhou City is only a small city, and there is still a lot of wealth in the Central Plains, so they can't hurt the harmony for the small profits in front of them. ”

However, Shi Jingjiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he will not say it obediently, and said with a smile at the moment: "The two khans are both heroes in the world, why did they lose their demeanor for the sake of the small treasury of Lingzhou City?" Those who achieve great things are not informal, and those who seek big ambitions do not pay attention to small profits, and the two of them are going to the Central Plains, and they should be ambitious. and attacked Lingzhou City, the two contributed a lot, and the commander couldn't tell the difference. However, this matter is easy to solve, and whoever breaks through the city first and occupies the treasury will have his wealth. No matter how beautiful the fat is, before it reaches the mouth, it is not their own after all, who has the ability, preemptively put it in their own bowl, so that there is no dispute, and others can not have a complaint. ”

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin and Du Lun Lujia heard these words, their expressions were different, but they both scolded Shi Jingjiao for being cunning in their hearts. They originally wanted to sing a play together and let Shi Jingjiao spit out his share, but not only did they fail to get what they wanted, but instead let Shi Jingjiao make a reasonable statement, giving choking no room for rebuttal, and the other party not only retained his share, but also expanded his own interests, after all, the Dingyan army also had the possibility of entering the city first to seize the treasury. They want to swallow the fat meat alone, and in the end, they have to increase the siege of their own troops, so that it is possible to break the city first-and this is exactly what Shi Jingjiao expected.

After saying this, Shi Jingjiao didn't want to argue with Yao Luo Ge Diyin and Du Lun Lujia about this matter, so he immediately changed the topic and said solemnly: "The soldiers and horses who rushed to Wenchi and Anle, I don't know if they have arrived in the place, these two cities are the southern barrier of Lingzhou, which is related to the overall safety, according to these two cities, in order to block the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and let me wait for time to capture Lingzhou City, coerce Lingzhou people into the army, and strengthen the army, if not, not to mention the situation in Lingzhou, this time the situation of you and me is very worrying." ”

"Speaking of which, this is all strange to Shi Shuai, if it weren't for the fact that your troops didn't capture Lingzhou within the agreed time, how could you be so anxious about the current situation of the army?" Yao Luo Ge Diyin was still dissatisfied with Shi Jingjiao's previous words, so he said coldly at this time.

Shi Jingjiao had a calm face, "The Khan also failed to conquer Feng'an, and in the end, it was our troops who went south to make Gao Xiansi retreat, why did it become a problem for Ben Shuai?" After that, he took the initiative to ease his expression, "Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to talk more, it is better to look forward, a little hardship is inevitable for those who will become big things." ”

Seeing that Shi Jingjiao was like an old fox, Yao Luo Ge Diyin knew that it would be difficult to bargain, so he had to snort coldly, and then raised his chin again, and said proudly: "Ge Ah is the head of the Uighur elite, with him going to Wenchi and Anle, the two cities will be keen, Shi Shuai does not have to worry!" ”

"If this can be done, the pioneer will naturally be a great achievement!" Shi Jingjiao is also not stingy with credit, although Yao Luo Ge Di Yin keeps saying how the medicine Luo Ge Ah wants to be, but the vanguard commander is Yang Guangyuan of the difficult army.

There is no problem with Shi Jingjiao's words, the vanguard also has a Tubo tribe, but Du Nonlujia still has to say something to show his sense of existence, "I, a Tibetan warrior, have always fought hard in battle, and the victory of the vanguard is undoubted!" ”

At this point, no matter what the three of them thought, they no longer continued to speak, at least on the surface, it was still a harmonious situation.

However, before he could wait, the rangers came and hurried to the watchtower to report the news of the defeat of the vanguards.

"What? Yang Guangyuan's army was defeated? Shi Jingjiao was shocked when he heard this, his hands and feet couldn't help but stiffen, and he was angry again, and shouted: "What the hell is going on?!" ”

"General Yang has been defeated, there are only less than 2,000 soldiers and horses left, according to the rout, the vanguard has not yet arrived at Wenchi, that is, in the middle of the ambush, the court with thousands of heavy cavalry to rush into battle, the soldiers can not stop, so defeated!" The Ranger snapped.

Shi Jingjiao froze in place, his face was pale, like a piece of dry wood, and he couldn't say a word.

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin was so angry that his face was red, different from the appearance of acting when he was arguing with Du Lujia, this time he was genuinely red-faced, he grabbed the collar of the ranger, and roared: "He Yang Guangyuan led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and was defeated by thousands of weak soldiers in a battle, how did he arrange his troops, is he a rice bucket?!" ”

This sentence directly put the blame for the defeat of the vanguard on Yang Guangyuan. Indeed, Yang Guangyuan is the vanguard commander, and he cannot escape the blame for the defeat of the vanguard. However, it is self-evident what this means when Yao Luo Ge Di Yin said it.

When Shi Jingjiao saw such a time, Yao Luo Ge Diyin's first reaction was not to think about how to deal with the changes and how to save the overall situation, but to put the blame on the head of the Dingyan army, although he also hated Yang Guangyuan in his heart, but he really felt extremely disgusted with Yao Luo Ge Diyin, but at this time he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to swallow the bitter fruit.

Unexpectedly, the ranger said: "The rout said that at the time of the battle, it was the general who led the troops to flee first, which caused the rout of the whole army......

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin was stunned for a moment, "......"

Du Lunlujia jumped to his feet and shouted, "Okay! The main general was ineffective in arranging the troops, and the Ma army took the lead in fleeing, resulting in the rout of the whole army. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the angry eyes of Shi Jingjiao and Yao Luo Ge Diyin.

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin gritted his teeth and roared: "The vanguard is defeated, the situation is critical, Lujia Khan doesn't think about how to save the overall situation, but he shirks responsibility at this time, this is the hero's doing?!" ”

Du Lunlujia was dumbfounded, "......"

He said in his heart, it is clear that you have to settle the blame for Yang Guangyuan's unfavorable battle first, and now because of Yao Luo Ge's insistence, he will think about the overall situation, and he will say it so righteously...... I've never seen anyone so brazen!

On the city wall of Lingzhou, fierce battles are raging.

Li Shaocheng sits in the center, commanding the overall situation, although the war is difficult, his face does not change, because he has an indifferent face, he is not smiling, no one can know what he thinks at this time, the scar on his face is as long as an earthworm, and the perseverance in his eyes is portrayed like a peak like a sword.

"Marshal, General Gao is injured!" A small school came to report urgently.

When Li Shaocheng heard this, he hurriedly followed the other party down the city, and walked not far in the crowd of soldiers and people who were walking back and forth.

When Li Shaocheng approached, Gao Shensi had already stood up, with bandages on his body, soaked in blood, like plum blossoms, but he said loudly: "And this will be armored!" ”

"General Gao, how are your injuries?" Li Shaocheng asked urgently, and at the same time signaled the other party's personal soldiers to suspend their armor.

"It's just a small injury, why worry about it!" Gao Shensi waved his hand, and his hardness did not diminish in the slightest.

The pro-soldier next to him looked uneasy and guilty, and said in a low voice: "The knife wound in front of the abdomen is more than four inches long, and its depth has seen the liver and intestines...... It's our guards who are not good, please punish the marshal! ”

"What are you talking about? On the battlefield, there are either dead or wounded, what is there to make a fuss about! Gao Shensi waved his hand, arrogant, and hugged his fist to Li Shaocheng, "The end will be fine, let's go to the city again!" ”

There is also a shift in the evening.
