The anxiety of attacking the city for days, coupled with the fact that the night attack last night failed but encountered resistance and accidents one after another, the morale of the rebels had fallen to the lowest point. Even if Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen are all powerful generals, even if Sun Xiaozhe is selfish and tyrannical in governing the army, he is not incompetent, but in the face of soldiers and horses that are by no means inferior to their own troops, they all have a feeling of countless mouthfuls. After all, they have had a smooth ride along the way, and it is the first time that the two armies have officially faced each other in a tough battle like this!

"General!" Tian Qianzhen keenly noticed that the morale of the army was not right, and immediately rode his horse to Cui Qianyou's side, lowered his voice and said, "Until now, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you don't fight hard, I'm afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Cui Qianyou knew that Tian Qianzhen meant that if he retreated without a fight, he would definitely be pursued by the other party in the end, and he would be defeated and lost! Although he also cherishes his soldiers and horses very much, and does not want to fight to the death under Chang'an City with these two Anbei Metropolitan Protector soldiers and horses that have fallen from the sky, there is no choice at the moment. He took a deep breath, and then shouted: "The enemy army is just a bluff, give the order to the whole army, the foot soldiers are in front, the two wings of the cavalry are spread, and the Mo sword hand is dragging back, attack!" ”

In the distance, Gu Huaien, the commander of the army, saw that the enemy army began to move, so he smiled at Azler beside him and said, "Du Sui, how much damage was done last night?" ”

"The killing is rising at the moment, although the brothers are familiar with night battles, the dead are less than two hundred, but the number of wounded is five hundred, this is still Tian Qianzhen running fast, I collected the wounded in time, otherwise it would be difficult to say." When it comes to battle damage, Azler is a little unnatural. After all, now that he is in the Central Plains, unlike when he was in Mobei, he could replenish his troops at any time, and a death battle like him seemed a bit extravagant. So, he had to add, "However, Tian Qianzhen's department lost at least 800 horse troops, and more foot soldiers, because the Mo Dao Army couldn't be used at night, and it wasn't brought out at all, so I killed it cheaply!" ”

"No wonder the marshal often says that the most fierce people in my Anbei Yatent City who are not afraid of death are all under your command!"

The military order was conveyed early, and the only two thousand heavy shield foot soldiers in the whole army had been sent forward, and the cavalry was warming up their mounts, ready to attack at any time. Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has never lacked horses, so even the foot soldiers can often march with horses, and only when they encounter a big war will they dismount and reorganize the army, and attack according to the infantry tactics. However, for Anbei Yatent City, most of the Tibetan troops were raised on horseback, and it was instinct to mount and shoot the assault side, so for Cui Qianyou's famous Modao army, Fugu Huaien was not only frightened, but had a kind of excitement to try.

"Cui Qianyou is in front with foot soldiers, the Ma army is laying out two wings, and the Mo knife hand is behind, that is, he thinks that his Ma Bu army can entangle my Anbei Ma army, and his Mo knife hand can take advantage of the chaos to attack! It's just that he doesn't know that my servant Gu Huai'en once was outnumbered and dragged the main force of Hui for half a day, and today the soldiers and horses are equal, how can he let him succeed! The whole army, kill with me, if you can't break the enemy formation with one blow, I will be surnamed Cui with him! ”

When Cui Qianyou saw that the banner of Fugu Huaien and the Anbei Forward Battalion had finally moved, followed by several horse armies rushing out from behind the infantry army, his pupils suddenly shrank. This time, he led the army to attack Chang'an, so there were no iron horses and spearmen for defense, and the huge number of cavalry in Fugu Huai'en almost made him almost lose his eyes! Even Youyan, who is good at raising horses, does not have such a proportion of cavalry! At this time, he finally understood why Du Shiyi was not afraid of the bitter cold of Mobei and dared to guard there alone, just one horse character was really better than the Central Plains!

As Cui Qianyou thought, the most important thing in Anbei Yatent City is military horses, so the training of the horse army is all real horse battles, and people are often killed because the training is too strict, and the loss of horses is countless. In other major border towns, of course, horses also have a loss rate, but they are definitely not as high as the replacement ratio of 20 or 30 percent every year in Anbei Yahu City! The high price paid in the drill was completely made up for when the Ma army rushed into battle at this moment!

Destroy the wither!

This is how he felt when Fugu Huaien took the lead and led the most elite personal soldiers and horses directly into the enemy's formation! The joy of reuniting with his mother and younger brothers in the Xiazhou Servant Solid Department for many days was far more than the sigh that his father was under house arrest at the behest of his mother, and the generals in his army had received the best rest and supplies in the Servant Solid Department, and the natural momentum was like a rainbow at this time. When he rushed out of the enemy formation in one breath and stabbed a pair of piercings, seeing that Cui Qianyou's five thousand Mo sword army had not yet caught up, Fugu Huaien couldn't help laughing, but he didn't mean to go forward and fight hard with this army of soldiers and horses that was enough to compete with the cavalry.

Li Guangbi commanded the benefits of the Mo Sword Army, he had seen it before, and he didn't want to experience it again!

It was only at this time that Cui Qianyou realized that he was in a state of confusion because he suddenly found that the soldiers and horses of Anbei Yatent City were coming to help, and at this time, he should not attack with Fugu Huaien at all, but should wait for the attack, exhaust his mind and body, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack! He just felt that the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City were unable to open the door to counterattack, so he wanted to try to attack each other, thwart the spirit of Fugu Huai'en, and give the people in the city a warning by the way.

However, at a time like this, it was too late for him to make up for this omission. He could only do his best to regain his strength, and ordered the foot soldiers to slowly push back and move closer to the Mo Dao Army, and he also led the horse army to avoid its edge. When Sun Xiaozhe was also angry and gathered his troops and horses and retreated to the left flank of the army, he noticed that the Chinese army's infantry was advancing and retreating under the command, which looked extremely strange.

How did this Cui Qianyou lead the troops? What does that mean?

Tian Qianzhen did not have as many doubts as Sun Xiaozhe. Just now he finally fought in broad daylight with the Anbei forward battalion last night, the same Ma army against the Ma army, the other party's kind of resoluteness, or arrogance, really made him suffer a big loss again. At this moment, when he collected his troops and horses and returned to the right flank of the army, he saw the battle of Cui Qianyou's Chinese army, and he understood that the edge of the Anbei cavalry was too strong, and his own horse army could not resist at all.

Fugu Huaien naturally saw this, and after reorganizing the army formation, he ordered a sergeant to step forward and shouted in a deep voice: "Go with me to Cui Qianyou's army, and tell him that my Anbei Metropolitan Protector Du Marshal and Shuofang soldiers and horses are rushing over from Jincheng County, let him weigh and weigh himself, whether to fight or surrender!" ”

It is enough to frustrate the enemy's spirit in a battle, and he doesn't plan to repeatedly take his life to fight the rebels!

The sergeant's face was full of solemnity, and after kowtowing, he got on a horse that had just been pulled out, turned the horse and galloped towards Cui Qianyou's army.

Seeing this lonely rider, Cui Qianyou knew that it must be a messenger, so he immediately ordered that no arrows should be sent to stop him, and only sent a team of personal soldiers to escort people to him. When he saw this person and listened to his words to Fugu Huai'en as it was, his face did not move at all, but his heart was full of turbulent waves! The support army of Gu Huaien alone has already made it difficult for him to deal with it, if the Shuofang reinforcements really come, how will he deal with it? Or is it just that he just wants him to mess with himself?

However, the army was first blocked, and then frustrated, how could Cui Qianyou let his entanglement come out? He looked coldly at the messenger in front of him, and a deep murderous intent had already been born in his heart. However, before he even opened his mouth to shout the order, the sergeant who served as a messenger said loudly: "The two armies are facing each other, and they don't cut the envoys, but our army is the righteous army of King Qin, and you are a rebellious ****, and I don't expect to talk about any rules!" All in all, my words have been brought, and now I have no regrets! ”

Tian Qianzhen was stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized something. However, before he could try to stop it, he saw a cold light flash in the sergeant's hand, showing a dagger between his neck, and as the blood gushed out wildly, his body fell from the horse, and there was no trace of life. In the face of such a tragic scene, even if Sun Xiaozhe had killed countless people in the past, from enemies, prisoners of war to his own generals, all of them were afraid of his cruelty, but now such a messenger actually killed himself after delivering the news, it was really a surprise to him!

"It's just that a death row prisoner was sent to spread the message to disturb our army's heart, and Fugu Huai'en is nothing more than that!"

Although Cui Qianyou's brain turned quickly, he understood the truth of this scene in a moment, but no matter how he explained it, he couldn't make this bloody scene disappear! He was about to order the corpse to be taken down and divided into five horses to show to the public, so as to provoke the enemy to attack, but at this moment, there was a commotion from the rear army. This kind of commotion made him, who was already very vigilant, very annoyed, and immediately sent a team of personal soldiers to suppress it. But not long after, a soldier who returned in a hurry brought a piece of news.

"General, it's not good, there is news from Tongguan, saying that the Tang Army has entered Hebei Province, and all the states and counties in Hebei are in a hurry!"

"Nonsense! Where did Wang Chengye get this guts! He didn't even dare to save Luoyang, how could he send troops to Hebei! Sun Xiaozhe heard this sentence at the tip of his ear, and he was in a hurry, so he asked directly. As soon as the words came out, he realized his impulsiveness, which was not enough to calm the situation, but only allowed the news to spread more widely among the army! But now it's too late to remedy it, so he can only grit his teeth and take the initiative to ask, "General, this is clearly a trick of the Tang Army, and it wants to mess with our army!" I would like to lead the troops to fight again! ”

Even without Sun Xiaozhe's words, Cui Qianyou knew that the news would not be hidden for long. Even if Luoyang and Chang'an can be captured this time, Youyan's nest is not guaranteed, which means that most of the families and children of the generals in the army are all under threat, and it is likely that there will be a large-scale mutiny at that time! Therefore, when Tian Qianzhen also followed Sun Xiaozhe's request to attack, even if he knew that the best way at this time was to immediately withdraw his troops back to Tongguan to regroup, or to inquire about the situation in Luoyang and An Lushan before making plans, he had no way to retreat at all!

Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you can only rush forward!
