Chapter 81: The Battle of Yecheng IV
readx;
At dawn, there was a long horn sound in the camp of the summer army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The rumbling sound of war drums tore apart the tranquility of the early morning, and a group of foot soldiers rushed out of the camp with the drums beating, and in the urging sound of war drums, they charged towards Yecheng in Zhangnan.
Pontoon bridges were erected on the ice, and with the sound of horns, Dou Jiande rode out of the camp on a royal chariot pulled by six white horses.
Yecheng in Zhangnan is silent.
However, from a distance, you can see a forest of soldiers on the head of the city, and there are many shadows.
Dou Jiande stood on top of the imperial chariot with a smug smile on his face. On both sides of the imperial chariot, Cao Dan, Gao Shixing, Ruan Junming, Gao Yaxian and other military generals lined up, and the war horses under their crotches kept snorting, eager to try, and they couldn't immediately charge Yecheng.
However, without Dou Jiande's order, everyone did not dare to act rashly.
Kong Deshao frowned, always feeling that there was a hint of foreboding lingering in his heart. But where exactly did the business go wrong? Again, Condesau was unclear. Although he is an internal history squire, to be honest, he is not Dou Jiande's cronies. People say that Dou Jiande is generous, but Kong Deshao knows that Dou Jiande's generosity is only for the official eunuchs. Those Sui officials who surrendered were all forgiven by Dou Jiande.
Whether he is capable or incompetent, in short, he is not to blame for the past.
Wang Cong, Lu Ling, which one is not with the blood of the rebels on his hands? But Dou Jiande has always been generous to these people, and once he is obedient, he will immediately be a high-ranking official and reuse him. On the contrary, the old brothers who followed Dou Jiande back then are getting farther and farther away from Dou Jiande.
Annexation of Lishanfei and annexation of Menghai Gong......
Dou Jiande's methods were even more vicious than Li Mi's killing of Zhai Rang back then.
Song Zhengben was immediately alienated by Dou Jiande because of a few words of persuasion. If it was in the past, even if Song Zhengben was sick, Dou Jiande would definitely ask him to accompany him.
Kong Deshao had something in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
He thinks that he does not have the status of Song Zhengben, and he is not as good as those generals who hold military power. In front of Dou Jiande, he was cautious and cautious, and never dared to slack off. Even if he felt inappropriate in his heart now, he hesitated whether he should clarify with Dou Jiande.
When half of the Xia army crossed Zhangshui, there was a rumbling war drum at the head of Yecheng City.
Two thousand-person iron cavalry suddenly appeared from both sides of Yecheng like divine soldiers descending from the sky, and rushed towards the two ribs of the Xia army, fiercely impacting.
Dou Jiande, who was watching the battle in Zhangbei, couldn't help laughing.
"The Li family's skills are poor, such a trick of crossing half and attacking, Luo Yi used it in Yishui back then, can Lone Wang Yan be defenseless?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand.
The flag officer behind him immediately shook the red flag, raised it three times, and drooped it three times, and then the sound of the Chinese military drum suddenly changed, and the drum beat was three long and two short, and it rumbled. Ruan Junming and Gao Yaxian suddenly showed excited looks, urged the war horse under their crotch, raised their guns and danced lances, and shouted: "Sons, follow me to meet the enemy!" ”
The two cavalry armies generally came out of the Chinese army, and rushed towards the iron cavalry of the Tang army.
Gao Shixing said to Kong Deshao: "Yecheng is separated by Zhangshui, and after we captured Yecheng in Zhangbei, the king realized that the Li family would use Luo Yi's tricks when he was in Yishui. Half-way to strike, that's for the defenseless. Now that the king has been prepared, the Li family is afraid that it will be difficult to take advantage of this time. ”
Kong Deshao forced a smile and praised: "The king is really clever! ”
Last summer, Dou Jiande tried to capture Youzhou, but was ambushed by Luo Yi when the strength was easy to water. At that time, Luo Yi listened to Xue Shixiong's eldest son Xue Wanjun's strategy of crossing the half and defeating Dou Jiande. Therefore, Dou Jiande learned a lesson this time and was prepared.
It stands to reason that Condesau should be relieved.
But I don't know why, but in his heart, he is getting more and more nervous.
Intuition told him that Li Yanqing's strategy was just a superficial article. Li Yanqing has experienced a hundred battles, whether it is fighting Yang Xuangan, blocking Li Mi, fighting Wang Shichong, and constantly scheming. Its use of soldiers is elusive, and it is difficult to guess with common sense. If Li Yanqing only had this ability, he was afraid that he would not be able to get the name of Li Invincible, and it would be impossible for Li Mi to lose his life.
But what tricks will Li Yanqing have?
Kong Deshaw really couldn't guess...... I stepped forward to remind him, but looking at Dou Jiande's complacent appearance, when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back again.
God knows, what will be the result of my own advice at this time?
On the south bank of Zhangshui, the Tang army has slaughtered out of Yecheng......
Li Yanqing didn't seem to want to blindly defend, so he adopted the strategy of taking the initiative. After the Eight Winds Battalion rushed out of Yecheng, Hulala set up a formation. The Xia army was still in fire, so it adopted the red livery flag. And the soldiers and horses under Li Yanqing's command are dressed in one color of Xuanjia.
The red Xia army, like a torrent of flames, roared towards the Tang army.
The Tang army, dressed in black, was like a that had existed since ancient times, blocking the charge of the Xia army. The Eight Winds Battalion staggered, swallowing the Xia Army at once. In an instant, the war drums on both sides of Zhangshui rumbled, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the two sides fought fiercely.
"Li Yanqing, donkey skills are poor!"
Dou Jiande looked up to the sky and laughed, pulled out his horizontal knife, and shouted: "The three armies obey the order and attack with all their might...... Those who take Li Yanqing's head will be rewarded with 10,000 gold and sealed thousands of households. ”
In an instant, Xia Jun shouted in unison, raising his sword and gun at the same time.
"Attack, attack!"
With the shouts of murder everywhere, Dou Jiande's imperial chariot slowly moved towards the south bank of Zhangshui.
At this moment, from the rear camp of the Xia army, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded. A black smoke rushed straight into the sky, and the huge sound instantly drowned out the shouts of killing on both sides of the Zhangshui battlefield. On the bank of the Zhangshui River, Dou Jiande could clearly feel that the earth trembled violently. The white horse that led the royal chariot, in that loud sound, Xi Yuyu hissed for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that there were drivers desperately trying to appease the white horses, they would be afraid that these six white horses would have run away on the spot.
Rao is like this, Dou Jiande is still unsteady on his feet, and he slumps on the royal chariot.
He was furious and shouted, "What was the sound just now? ”
"Look, my lord!"
Dou Jiande looked in the direction of Kong Deshao's finger, and saw black smoke billowing in the back camp, heading straight into the sky.
At the head of Yecheng City, Li Yanqing had a smile on his face......
"Pass the order, and immediately chant God bless the Tang Dynasty, Dou will die!"
"God bless Datang!"
"Dou rebels will perish......"
The soldiers at the head of Yecheng City shouted in unison, while the Xia army who crossed the Zhangshui was at a loss. They didn't know where the loud noise came from, and they didn't know what was going on in the rear army. And Dou Jiande was even more puzzled, and after getting up from the imperial chariot, he shouted: "Quickly investigate, what is going on?" ”
What's going on?
Kong Deshao's heart was shocked, he knew that Li Yanqing was not easy to deal with, and sure enough, there was a back-up move.
Who knows what's going on with that Rausch's voice?
Kong Deshao said: "The king, the minister once heard that when Zhai Rang and Li Yanqing competed for Jindi Pass, they used demon magic and defeated Zhai Rang.
This man is scheming, and there must be an ambush...... Now that the enemy's situation is unknown, it is really not appropriate for our army to stay here any longer, and we should quickly withdraw our troops. ”
When one person stands up and speaks, more people will follow.
Gao Shixing was also frightened, and when he heard Kong Deshao speak, he hurriedly agreed: "King, what Kong Shilang said is extremely true, in such a situation, it is really not appropriate to fight with Li Thief again. ”
Dou Jiande hesitated, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, a small colonel ran from the back camp, with a smoky and burning face, came to the imperial chariot, turned over and rolled the saddle and fell off the horse.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
"What's the alarm? What went wrong with the rear camp just now? ”
"The southern wall of Yecheng suddenly collapsed, killing and injuring countless people...... Yecheng Mansion, after a loud bang just now, a black dragon loomed, and the entire mansion turned into ruins...... General Yin Qiu died in the ruins, and General Shi Zan was seriously wounded and unconscious. ”
Dou Jiande is excited, a chilling cicada.
Before he could speak, another colonel arrived from the back camp.
"My lord, there was a sudden fire in the baggage camp, but the cause has not yet been found...... The two generals Yin Qiu and Shi Zan were not there, so that the rear camp was now in chaos. ”
"Report ...... King Qiyu, in the mountains on both sides of the rear camp, a large number of Tang soldiers and horses appeared, and the number of people has not yet been proven. ”
"Report!
Tang general Luo Shixin led a team of iron cavalry to kill from the rear army, killing thirteen generals in the battalion, and now they are forcing the Chinese army! ”
A series of news made Dou Jiande's brain a little insufficient.
On the south bank of Zhangshui, the panicked Xia army was at a loss, and it was not clear whether it should continue the attack. Because of the earth-shattering sound just now, Xia Jun's drumming completely lost its rhythm and became scattered. In ancient times, when two armies clashed, the sound of drums was an order.
Different rhythms represent different ways and means of attack.
It is impossible for the soldiers to check the change of the banner, but only to make a judgment based on the sound of the drum.
But now, the drums are chaotic, and the morale of the army is scattered...... Should we continue to charge, defend in place, or retreat immediately?
Sergeant Xia didn't know what to do!
The Tang Army, on the other hand, was not affected in the slightest.
Xue Shu took off his coat, went into battle shirtless, and beat the drum himself.
The drum beat is the drum beat of the Endeavor Drum, which means that the Tang soldiers should be soldiers and brave to kill.
And Li Yanqing walked down from the city, stepped on the elephant dragon horse, lifted the agarwood lance, and took the lead in Yecheng. Behind him, the four families will follow closely, the majestic sea is shirtless and double-axe, and the wind is under his feet, as if he is a scud 'Kan Ling dragged the Mo knife upside down, did not fall half a step, and the wind rushed into the battlefield. Zheng Dabiao and Liu Heng are typical generals. One wielded a lance, the other danced two guns, one left and one right to protect Li Yanqing's back. Further back, there is Li Yanqing's Wansheng army in black armor.
On the battlefield, Pei Xingyan and Xue Wanche twisted their guns on their horses, rushing left and right in the chaos of the army.
When Li Yanqing entered the battlefield, Pei Xingyan shouted: "General Li and we are fighting side by side, and the sons and daughters should move forward bravely, do not take the head of the Dou thief, and never withdraw the troops." ”
"God bless the Tang Dynasty, Dou Rebellion will die!"
The 20,000 soldiers of the Eight Winds Battalion shouted at the same time, one by one, like a tiger out of the gate, only killing the south bank of Zhangshui into a river of blood, and the Xia army was defeated and retreated.
