Chapter 68: Turning the Tide (5)

Shi Siming lay his whole body on the war horse, just stuffy his head and galloped wildly, behind him, more than 10,000 Youzhou cavalry also lowered their bodies, although they knew that there were only 300 Tiance cavalry chasing them, but none of the more than 10,000 battle-hardened Youzhou cavalry dared to look back.

Shi Siming, who was riding a horse at the front, listened to the wind blowing in his ears, but he didn't know how many kinds of flavors poured out in his heart, and he was so aggrieved that he was about to cry at this moment.

Defeated, defeated!

I think that I have been in the army for more than ten years, I have always won all battles, I have always been insidious and cunning, I am good at deception, I am good at seducing the enemy, and I have always let the enemy eat and take advantage of myself;

Shi Siming couldn't understand how he could be defeated by thousands of rabble, and the six hundred Tiance cavalry who arrived later, and it was an unprecedented humiliating defeat!

He had never seen such a strong cavalry, and he had never seen such a strong man.

That Jianning King Li Qi is even more brave and invincible than the legendary immortal disciple Xiao Quai, one man and one horse, one bow and one gun, more than 2,000 cavalry can't stop him even for a moment, just like this headlong into the military formation of more than 2,000 of his own cavalry pro-army, and then like a quick knife cutting tofu, instantly kill through the military formation, and take himself.

If you don't react fast enough, you can run fast enough; If it weren't for the "Jianning King Li Qi" who still had to save the Tiance military captain who had been killed into a bloody man and had been wounded all over his body in an unknown number of places, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to run away if he wanted to, Shi Siming intuitively thought that no one could stop him at all!

And the 600 Tiance cavalry behind "Li Qi" is as strong and terrifying, and it is still the way to deal with An Shouzhong, only one face. It crushed more than 2,000 cavalry almost unharmed. Then there was the one-sided slaughter.

And the entire Raoyang North City. The 15,000 soldiers and horses that had finally been gathered, including the thousands of cavalry that had previously served as reserves in the Chinese army, also collapsed in an instant, and then they scattered and fled, and the cavalry could still run away, and the infantry were scattered and fled at this time, waiting for their fate, so they didn't need to think about it.

Listen to two guards. When the cavalry of the 600 Tiance slaughtered like a tiger into a flock of sheep and the whole army fled, not only did the thousands of soldiers and people under Raoyang City rush over with a shout of revenge, but even the soldiers who were caught to do coolies before also took the opportunity to attack, grabbed the weapons that fell on the ground, and the stones and sticks were desperate with the Youzhou soldiers closest to them!

Shi Siming's heart is dripping blood, in this way, the nearly 20,000 infantry troops surrounding Raoyang City are all fierce and auspicious, although there are many soldiers and horses in Youzhou, they can't withstand such losses.

The situation is so bad. Now more than 100,000 Youzhou troops are trapped in Hebei, and they are surrounded by enemies on all sides. If you can't advance an inch, even Raoyang City, which is defended by less than 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers, can make 40,000 Youzhou troops bleed......

What will be the future of himself and the Youzhou Army? Shi Siming's heart was suddenly full of despair.

As Shi Siming expected, under the city of Raoyang, inspired by the collapse of Youzhou, countless defenders and people, as well as the husbands who were captured by the Youzhou army before, were also frantically chasing those Youzhou infantry running around at this time.

And those Youzhou rebels who were fierce and brutal before, were also completely frightened at this time, not only dropped the bow and crossbow weapons in their hands, but also didn't even dare to turn their heads, and they didn't even know the direction, just shouted hysterically, ran desperately, and some stumbled and fell down after running a few steps under extreme fear, and then they got up with their hands and feet and continued to run, in a panic.

In this battle, the Youzhou army was defeated, 40,000 foot cavalry, less than 9,000 cavalry escaped, less than 4,000 infantry escaped, and the other 27,000 Youzhou soldiers were either killed on the spot, or kneeling to surrender and begging but were still hacked to death with a knife.

There are more than 6,000 captured, and after cleaning the battlefield and doing coolies, they were ordered by Xiao Quzhi to randomly kill 5,000, and the remaining more than 1,000 cut off their thumbs, ears, and noses and put them back.

Under the influence of these routs and the released prisoners, the more than 80,000 Youzhou troops surrounding the counties of Hebei were all frightened, and the morale of the army was extremely unstable.

On the other hand, the situation of the Youzhou army is getting worse and worse, because of the two fiascos of Changshan and Raoyang, the morale of the Youzhou army has fallen to the extreme, and many Youzhou soldiers are even suffering from the heart disease of the Tiance army.

At this time, their nest was still ended.

At that time, when An Lushan raised troops to the south, Jia Xun, the deputy envoy of Fanyang Jiedu, guarded Fanyang, Lu Zhizhi, the deputy envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, guarded Pinglu, and Shi Siming commanded an army of 50,000 and sat in Fanyang to deal with emergencies.

Then, two days after Shi Siming went south, Xiao Qubing and Li Qi arranged for the Tiance secret guards and special combat team members in Fanyang and Pinglu, and took the battle report, Li Qi's official wish, and gold and silver treasures, etc., to find Jia Xun in Fanyang, Liu Zhengchen, Dong Qin, Tian Shengong, Hou Xiyi and others in Pinglu, saying that with the benefit of the disadvantage, let them lead the troops to resist An Lushan and return to the imperial court.

The situation of the Youzhou army in the south was so unfavorable, and there were more than 100,000 Tiance troops in the south who built strong fortifications in Julu County, Qinghe County, and Pingyuan County, and they could not advance an inch; To the west is the towering Taihang, and several passes, Jingcheng Pass, and Flying Fox Pass are heavily guarded; To the east is the sea; There was a fire in the backyard in the north, and the destruction was just around the corner, so everyone naturally responded.

On the third day of Shi Siming's southward rebellion, Dong Qin, Tian Shengong, Hou Xiyi and others led troops to attack and kill An Lushan's hardcore henchman Lu Zhizhi, temporarily supported Liu Zhengchen as the envoy of the festival, killed the soldiers and horses who would continue to rebel with An Lushan, and raised 30,000 troops to kill Fan Yang.

And in Fanyang, Na Jia Xun also readily agreed, but he was a conservative person, because Fan Yang was An Lushan's old nest, and the families of An Lushan and many senior generals of the Youzhou Army were in Fanyang, An Lushan naturally attached great importance to it, in addition to Jia Xun, there were also seven or eight henchmen here.

Then Jia Xun wanted to wait for things to be more carefully planned before doing anything, but he was discovered by An Lushan's two servants and reported to An Lushan's cronies Niu Runke and Han Chaoyang. So the two of them made the first move. Directly killed Jia Xun. And reported to An Lushan with a letter eagle, and An Lushan asked Don't General Niu Ting to temporarily command Fan Yang's army.

At this time, the news of the "rebellion" of the Pinglu army came to the Niu Ting sent Rong Xianqin and Li Xian to lead 20,000 troops to meet the enemy, and the two armies fought in Yuyang, and the Fan Yang army was defeated, Rong Xianqin was stabbed to death by Dong Qin in front of the army, and the defeated army retreated all the way back to Fanyang. The Pinglu army also chased all the way to Lu County.

As soon as the news of the defeat reached Fanyang, and then to the Youzhou Army base camp where An Lushan of Lingshou in Changshan County was located, there was a sudden uproar.

Fan Yang is the foundation of the Youzhou Army, and the families of the officers and civil officials of the Youzhou Army are all in Fanyang, this is the foundation of the Youzhou Army, if Fan Yang is lost, the more than 100,000 Youzhou troops who go south will be in a desperate situation.

An Lushan fainted several times. Yan Zhuang naturally sneered in his heart, and Tian Qianzhen's heart was also in a mess at this time. Zhang Tongru and Cai Xide were also helpless, sighing.

Seeing the boss like this, the voices of the middle and high-level officers below became louder and louder.

"In front of the Tiance army blocking the road, the west is the mountains and dangerous passes, the east is the sea, in the middle is the counties have raised troops to rebel, and now the backyard is on fire again, this is a desperate situation!"

"In such a desperate situation, it seems that there is only one way to surrender, the hero does not suffer the immediate loss, surrenders for the time being, and then finds the opportunity to ......"

"Surrender? Joke! Didn't you see what King Jianning said, never forgive, we all have to die, how could he accept our surrender? Besides, this time we have killed so many Han people and so many officials, and the court will not let us surrender! ”

"In this case, it is better to retreat outside the Great Wall and go up to the Mobei grassland, the Tiance army is basically an infantry army, can it still chase all the way to Mobei?"

"What about Fan Yang's family? If you want me to say, the whole army should return to Fan Yang now, and then act at the opportunity! ”

"Didn't Shi Dashuai already lead the troops to rescue Fan Yang? Fan Yang is so strong, with sufficient grain, grass and weapons, it is no problem to hold on for a year, how can it be broken by more than 20,000 horses and horses of the Pinglu Army in a few days! ”

"But if you don't retreat north, what can you do here? According to the intelligence, hundreds of thousands of Tiance troops and more people have built countless camps and trenches in the three counties of Julu, Qinghe, and Pingyuan.

Did you really put everything on the stupidity of the Hedong Army and take the initiative to give it to us? ”

"Yes, even if the Hedong Army really sends troops to Jingcheng Pass, it will not be able to leave the garrison at Jingcheng Pass, and if you can't beat Jingcheng Pass, you won't be able to enter Hedong, it's still useless!"

"Who said it wasn't, I also think that we should change the way to retreat north as soon as possible, and then act at the opportunity......"

A group of middle and high-ranking generals quarreled so much that in the end, they immediately led the troops back to Fanyang, and the call prevailed, insisting on staying and not talking, and a group of people were chattering there to ask An Lushan, who had just woken up, for help, An Lushan was also anxious, and the arrow wound on his shoulder hurt his heart, and he couldn't make a decision for a while, just looked at Tian Qianzhen like asking for help.

Tian Qianzhen was also in an anxious mood, he finally stood up, glared at everyone fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Have you said enough? Rest assured, Shi Dashuai has already led his troops to Fanyang, and Fan Yang will never lose!

For the sake of today, if we do not defeat the enemy in front of us, do we have a second way? Going north to Fanyang now, isn't it tantamount to admitting defeat? Not only will the morale plummet, but I am afraid that as soon as I arrive in Fanyang, the 100,000 sergeants will disperse;

There is one more thing you have thought about, now go north to Fanyang, is to give the imperial army a chance to break through, when the imperial army will defeat Huifu, the Anxi army, the Longyou army, and the Tiance army that went out to Tubo and Nanzhao are also back, and when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will besiege Fanyang, and we will be a dead end! ”

After Tian Qianzhen yelled, all the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army were stunned, and no longer spoke, when they heard a heavy wheezing sound and a violent heartbeat, all of them looked dejected, and the scene was cold.

At this moment, I heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the big tent, and an An Lushan's servant, who was also a snake tooth master, ran in, with an extremely happy and excited look on his face.

Tian Qianzhen's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and before An Lushan could speak, he asked loudly: "Say it quickly, what a happy event, but the Jingchengkou Hedong Army has been dispatched!" ”

The servant nodded again and again, his eyes lit up excitedly, and he said excitedly: "Daddy, everyone, General Tian is right, Du Qianyun led 30,000 Hedong troops east out of Jingcheng Pass, and was ambushed by General Li Guiren and General Tian Chenghe's 20,000 troops, and was killed almost completely annihilated, and Du Qianyun only led less than 20 horsemen to escape.

After that, the two generals led their troops to pursue all the way, and they had already taken advantage of the situation to capture Jingcheng Pass! ”

Dozens of people in the entire Chinese army tent, you look at me, I look at you, almost can't believe it, there was silence for four or five seconds, and then a huge cheer broke out, and the sound was almost about to tear the roof of the cowhide tent!

Generally speaking, as long as two or three thousand defenders are tightly defended, they can resist an army of 50,000 for more than half a year.

At the same time, the terrain of the narrow valley road outside the Jingcheng Pass is also extremely suitable for ambushes, 20,000 Youzhou troops are ambushed on both sides of the mountain road, not to mention that the other party only comes to 30,000, that is, 60,000 Hedong troops come out together and enter the ambush circle, which is also a fiasco.

Originally, Tian Qianzhen used the trick of luring the enemy, deliberately showing weakness, and was ninety percent sure that Hedong would be deceived, but he did not expect that the Tiance army defending Changshan actually sent a sentry to detect the 20,000 Youzhou troops ambushed on the mountain road on both sides, and flew into Jingcheng Pass with a letter eagle to call the police.

In this way, the things that were originally grasped by ninety percent have changed to one percent, so many middle and senior generals of the Youzhou Army said that they pinned their hopes on the stupidity of the Hedong Army, and the hope was really slim. I didn't expect the Hedong Army to be so stupid, not only did they take the initiative to send 30,000 troops to the Youzhou Army to eat, but they also lost Jingcheng Pass by the way!

All the middle and senior rewards of the Youzhou Army shouted with joy, and at this moment, another An Lushan's servant ran in, also with an excited smile on his face.

He brought another huge good news, in the battlefield of Yanmen Pass, Gao Xiuyan deliberately released false news and withdrew from Yanmen Pass according to Tian Qianzhen's strategy.

After that, Gao Xiuyan sent people to wear the uniforms of the Yanmen defenders, pretending to be a rout to seize the Yanmen Pass, and now the army is marching to the Yanmen Pass, preparing to enter the Yanmen Pass tomorrow, all the way south to attack Taiyuan!

The two good news almost arrived before and after, and according to these two pieces of information, wouldn't there be only a little more than 10,000 of the more than 60,000 Hedong troops left, and Du Qianyun and Wang Chengye were two straw bales, Taiyuan would definitely not be able to hold it, and the more than 100,000 Youzhou troops could enter Hedong from Jingcheng Pass, and then fight all the way to Chang'an, so as to realize Tian Qianzhen's strategic concept.

Happiness came too suddenly, at this moment, some of the generals of the Youzhou Army who were already happy and stupid couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt down in front of An Lushan, and said excitedly: "Great Light God bless!" This is the blessing of the Great God of Light! (To be continued.) )
