An Zhong is a henchman of An Lushan, to be precise, he is also An Lushan's adopted son, and An Zhongzhi grew up with a bare ass Xi Nufa Xiao, at this time he was ordered to lead a team of 100 sentry horsemen to the south to respond, he wanted to confirm the news of the victory of the 8,000 Luohe River at the first time.

Fa Xiao An Zhongzhi was attacked and killed by Tiance dog thieves, and Anzhong couldn't believe it, but the three thousand most elite and brave Xi cavalry under An Zhongzhi were almost wiped out, and the heads of An Zhongzhi, An Qingyou, and An Qingchang were brought back by the King of Jianning of Tiance Mansion and slapped in the face, but it is an indisputable fact.

Then the master and father-in-law was furious, and sent 8,000 of the most elite to drag down the river, led by An Shouzhong, the first general of the Youzhou army in the south, with the lion fighting the rabbit with all his strength, ploughing the court and sweeping the hole The momentum went south to take revenge, and behind the 8,000 dragged down the river, there were 100,000 troops to pull out the camp.

Anzhong breathed a sigh of relief, the soldiers of the Falling River were one out of a hundred, extremely elite, and the eight thousand Falling River could almost sweep the entire grassland. As a member of the Youzhou Army, An Lushan's henchman, An Zhong'an Zhong knew the combat power of the Luoluo River clearly, and he was very sure that if the 500 Tiance Army did not run, it would definitely not be able to stop the thunderous blow of the 8,000 Luoluo River!

Even when his father-in-law gave this order, Anzhong had an idea of killing chickens with a knife and moving the people too much, but then he figured it out again, what his father-in-law and the generals of the Youzhou Army wanted was foolproof, what they wanted was to kill with one blow, what they wanted was to retaliate with thunder, and what they wanted was to tell the people of the world that they dared to block the fate of the Youzhou Army!

The sky suddenly became gloomy, the autumn wind was sweeping, and the 100,000 Youzhou army was thundering. Makes the wind and clouds change color. On the vast expanse of wilderness. An Zhong and the hundred elite sentries of the Youzhou Army under his command galloped all the way, and they originally became depressed and sad because An Zhongzhi, An Qingyou, and An Qingchang were killed, and they also felt slightly happy at this time.

Then they saw in front of them the horses screaming on the field, and the cavalry that fell to the ground, and they couldn't really see it from a distance, but they could vaguely see a few corpses with mink hats on their heads—it was actually the cavalry dragging down the river?

An Zhong and the others quickly rode their horses to the front, and they couldn't help but gasp, a small area. There were more than three hundred corpses of the Trailing River cavalry all over the place, and each knight had one or two feathered arrows stuck in his body, and they were almost pierced by them.

Looking around, Yuanchuan still has the same number of mournful war horses, as well as corpses that fell to the ground, the strong crossbow of the Tiance Army is so powerful?

Anzhong continued to run forward with the people, and the faces of the hundred sentinels became more and more solemn, and they were even a little scared - they didn't see a single corpse of the Tiance cavalry, for the unknown danger. People are instinctively afraid.

An Zhong's face was so gloomy that he wanted to drip water, and his chest became more and more depressed. It was really difficult for him to accept this fact, he was about to die eight hundred people along the way, and the Tiance Army had no casualties?

However, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people who fell each time, Anzhong also comforted himself in his heart, dragging down the river from more than 8,000, even if 1,000 died, there were 7,000, and the number of people was still absolutely superior; An Shouzhong is the first general of the Youzhou Army in the south, he chooses to continue to chase closely, there will be no mistake, these Tiance cavalry just take advantage of the upper hand, as long as the river catches up with them, they can all be killed!

Thinking like this, Anzhong felt much more comfortable, and his chest was not so depressed, but after a while, he heard an eagle's chirp, and when he looked up, it was more than a hundred zhang in the air, and the two Haidongqing were fighting, An Shouzhong's blue-gray Haidongqing was obviously defeated, and the feathers fell straight down by the pure white Haidongqing.

Immediately after that, Anzhong saw an incomprehensible scene, dozens of cavalry running head-on, embarrassed and frightened, eight thousand dragged down the river were killed and fled?

Anzhong asked loudly with his voice raised, but the other party only answered him with two or three words: "Run!" ”

"Run......"

Anzhong continued to move forward, no matter what, he had to see the battlefield, see the Tiance cavalry, and then he really saw it.

About 300 steps on the opposite side, more than 1,000 people of the Luoluo River Brigade are being pursued by the Tiance cavalry behind, those Tiance cavalry or with a riding bow, or with a spear, many Tiance cavalry even ran and the head of the Luoluo River cavalry to touch the horse's tail, but these hundred choices, the first elite of the Youzhou Army dragged Luohe None of the horses dared to turn back to fight, just kicked the horse's belly desperately, lay their bodies on the horse, and fled lifelessly, in a hurry.

Anzhong watched this scene in disbelief, and the eight thousand Luohe were killed and defeated, and fled in a hurry......

Anzhong's whole person seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, his eyes were prominent, his scalp was numb, and suddenly his eyes were black and he almost fell off the horse, and the henchman next to him hurriedly supported him......

A moment later, the hundred-man sentry cavalry, who had been sent by An Lushan to determine the news of the victory at the first time, began to rush northward without a life, as if they had been killed by the Tiance army, and there were only nearly two thousand cavalry left in the river......

When Anzhong and others and more than 1,000 embarrassed and fleeing Luluohe cavalry fled back to the main camp of An Lushan's army, nearly 100,000 Youzhou troops suddenly made a big uproar, talking about everything, some said that the Tiance army was all heavenly soldiers and generals, and Li Qi, who was talking about it, did not forgive any of them, and sent you to hell, and naturally there were people who hated the same enemy, but there were not a few people who were terrified.

People are like this, if the enemy persecutes too much, it will naturally provoke these people to rise up and fight to the death; But if the enemy is too strong, too strong for you to understand, so strong that you don't have any confidence, this kind of desperate resistance will easily turn into a desperate escape.

And An Lushan, the high-ranking of the Youzhou Army, as well as Yan Zhuang, Cui Qianyou, Li Guiren, Tian Qianzhen, Cai Xide, Tian Chengsi, Yin Ziqi, Ashina Congli, Niu Tingjie, Xiang Runke, Li Tingwang, and Neng Yuanhao were about to collapse at the first moment.

And then the more than 100 riders who were put back with their noses, ears and thumbs cut off brought An Shouzhong's head again, as well as a letter from King Jianning: "Youzhou mongrel, wash your neck and wait for us to take your head!"

Youzhou is rebellious, our Tiance Mansion will never forgive, if you don't flee quickly. Kill them all. Leave no piece of armor behind! ”

An Lushan and more than a dozen high-level officials in Youzhou can no longer describe their feelings. Not only is it free from anger, but it is also free from fear.

This is already Hongguoguo's second provocation and slap in the face, but An Lushan and a group of Youzhou heavyweights, in addition to being angry, don't know how to deal with it.

In fact, in the past two years, they have been intensively plotting to rebel, and they have also made a detailed assessment of the strength of Tiance Mansion.

In view of the previous record of the Tiance Army, which was so strong that it was perverted. As well as the affirmation of Xiao Quai's ability to train soldiers, Shi Siming and the senior generals in the army concluded that on average, the combat effectiveness of a Tiance soldier is about equivalent to two Youzhou soldiers, and 30,000 Tiance troops are equivalent to 70,000 at most; 3,000 Tiance cavalry is equivalent to 8,000 Luohe and 2,000 Xi cavalry.

But after the battle just now, it subverted their cognition, the weapons of the Tiance Army were too advanced, and they were more prepared, advanced weapons, and unexpected tactics.

Of course, the Youzhou Army has also made full preparations, such as troops. For example, diplomatic strategy, such as thinking about beheading Li Longji before. For example, the Youzhou Army also has a cavalry team composed of Khitan private soldiers, who have practiced lining up and charging, etc.

But no matter how prepared the Youzhou Army is, it is only within the previous cognition, and Tiance Mansion can always jump out of everyone's cognition before and play all kinds of new tricks, new technologies, and new tactics.

In the past two years, the engineering bureau of the Tiance Army has developed a light and invulnerable armor; developed a hand-cranked crossbow that shoots farther and is extremely labor-saving and convenient; developed a clairvoyant mirror that can see far away, and the Youzhou Army also has one, which An Lushan asked Li Longji for it; Listening to Zhang Xiancheng's intelligence, Tiance Mansion also developed a fierce fire oil that can burn on the surface of the water; Now when the cavalry hedge was developed, the tactic of suddenly releasing cold arrows caught the eight thousand rivers off guard.

All of them have an extremely awkward and aggrieved feeling: the Tiance Army knows everything about their side, and they have too many unknowns on their side of the Tiance Army, and the ghost knows what new techniques and tactics the other party will come up with when they fight with the Tiance Army in the future, and then hit their side again by surprise, how will this battle be fought in the future?

"That's the advantage of new technology and new tactics, forcing them to play the way we play." At the same time, Li Qi, who was more than 30 miles away, said the above words.

He has a deep understanding of Xiao Quzhi's sentence that science and technology and innovation are the first productive forces and the first combat effectiveness.

Li Qi suddenly remembered what Master said in a casual conversation before he set out for Nanzhao that a regulation called the "Patent Law" would be introduced in the future to encourage invention, creation and innovation, and that creation and innovation are the fundamental driving force for human progress.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case, Master's wisdom is really broader than the sea, in addition to the "Patent Law", Master also proposed a "Property Law", saying that it is to protect what private property rights.

Master said that the development of the trading companies in the four seas is mainly due to plunder and the leading position in science and technology, and once the dividends of these two are eaten up, or the harm appears, only by protecting private property rights can the economy become more and more prosperous.

Master also said that in the future, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will become larger and larger, and it will become more and more difficult to rule, so when it comes to the emperor's grandfather, there will be a festival envoy, and the festival degree envoy will be very easy to evolve into a warlord in the end, and the warlord will rebel in the end (8) nine times out of ten, so the festival degree system must be eliminated in the future.

But such a large territory must be managed, and the only two ways are to strengthen cultural cohesion and identity, and the other is to use technology to shorten the distance.

The master's idea was to build something called a railway and a train, and it is said that after the construction was completed, people could lie on the train and reach Fanyang from Chang'an in one day; You can get from Chang'an to Anxi in three days.

In addition to transporting troops and people, it can also transport hundreds of thousands of catties of goods, so that even if a large territory is built, it can be managed, and the economy can prosper dozens of times.

It's exciting to think about it, Anxi is nearly six thousand miles away from Chang'an, and you can lie on the train and get there in three days; It only takes one day to get to Fanyang, so isn't the land of Hebei under the control of the imperial court at any time?

Li Qi couldn't even dream of such a thing, but the master gave him an incomparably beautiful dream of prosperity.

However, speaking of which, the master has too much helplessness, and he said gloomily more than once that so many good ideas can only be talked about and dreamed of until now.

Master also said that if he was forty years old, he would be able to see the railway from Chang'an to Fanyang. Then from the Central Plains to Haizhou (Lianyungang) and Guangzhou. Look no further.

Thinking of Xiao Quai's eyes, the brilliance in his eyes and the subsequent gloom on his face when he talked about these things. Li Qi inexplicably had an urge that he should help Master achieve all this! In fact, Master's plan, up to now, Li Qi can more or less guess some of it......

"But Lord Wang, why don't we send a signal to surrender, but we have repeatedly emphasized that we will not accept surrender and will kill all the rebellions?" The general of the Anxi Army, who was born in the Qiang people named Lifei Shouyu, asked puzzledly: "This is not in line with the art of war. If they do not accept surrender, they will only strengthen their fighting spirit, even if we achieve an initial victory, these Youzhou soldiers will do a battle of trapped beasts, isn't it trying to increase casualties? ”

Li Qi said: "What General Lifei said is true, but there may be another situation, that is, fleeing from the wind. ”

"How so?"

"How not? As long as you beat them a few more times, it will plant a shadow in their hearts, gradually accumulate, and then you will be able to achieve magical results. ”

Then Li Qi told Li Fei Shouyu about Xiao Qu's illness and told him about the war example: it was said that it was the other side of the ocean. There is a country called Little Devil, which is very brutal. Other countries are kind to prisoners of war, and they usually fight to the end, and they surrender when there is really no way.

But because of the brutality of the little ghost country, there was a battle, and the British ~ country ~ army has been waiting in formation, and it was full of confidence, but the little devil suddenly a small team of surprise attacks appeared behind the British ~ country ~ army line, and this British ~ country ~ army fled in despair, because they were afraid of being captured and tortured to death.

On the other side, after the other army defeated the little devil, it did not leave prisoners of war, and all of them were buried alive, some people questioned whether the little devils would resist desperately, but the result was that as soon as this army arrived, the little devils fled because they were afraid of being defeated and buried alive.

"So the key is for us to win more battles, fight and be afraid of them, every time they fight, they lose, and if they lose, they will be buried alive, what else do they do if they don't run? They are a group of robbers, and they are not like us to defend their homeland and serve their country loyally! ”

"And most importantly, we must show an attitude of no tolerance for rebellion and evil, so that we can reverse the rebellious and impermanent habits of these Hu people......

When Li Qi's side was discussing whether to accept surrender, An Lushan's side also quickly unified his thinking, and this person who stabilized the situation at once was named Tian Qianzhen.

This time, the 200,000 Youzhou army rebelled south, and chose the opportunity for the Anxi Army to go out to Tubo and the Tiance Army to go to Nanzhao, in order to take advantage of the emptiness of the Tang Central Plains and Guanzhong's armed forces, enter Chang'an in one fell swoop, and lay a victory.

“…… Although the Tiance Army won two battles, it was a surprise, and after all, the Tiance Army had few people, and the Youzhou Army that I went south now has 190,000, and the main force has not been lost.

The way of the art of war, with the right combination to win by surprise, our army is several times that of the Tiance army, with a dignified army, steady and steady, with a frontal advantage of the force, do not give them a surprise attack, surprise opportunity, if the other side has no new tricks, our army can naturally destroy it;

If the other party has new tricks, our army can also see the moves, and find a way to resolve it, so why be afraid! ”

Tian Qianzhen said something, explained the current situation, and pointed out the advantages of both sides and the way to deal with it on his side, and An Lushan and the generals in the army also found the backbone at once.

That's right, the army has already rebelled, Tiance Mansion is so aggressive, is there a way back? These two times were just taken by surprise, and the final victory still depends on the dignified soldiers on the battlefield, we have my 190,000 hundred elite soldiers, and the other side only has 10,000, and the other new training soldiers, and peasant soldiers, that is simply a group of rabble!

Besides, if you are frightened just because of two such defeats, if you really want to do that, it is better to find a rope and hang yourself, so the only way out now is to find them, defeat them, annihilate them all, skin them and cramp them, and crush their bones and ashes!

As a result, this guiding ideology was conveyed, and the morale of the army was indeed stabilized and morale boosted a lot. Then the 190,000 army went south, all the way to the battalion, steady and steady, almost with twelve points of spirit and vigilance, and pressed over.

And the situation was really the same as Tian Qianzhen expected, this 1,500-strong Tiance cavalry did not have the slightest ability to resist in front of the dignified soldiers of 100,000 people, and really fled in despair.

The morale of the Youzhou army is high, and the traitorous dog Tiance Mansion will only fight a sneak attack, and it will only hit its surprise, and it will be cowardly in a frontal battle, haha!

So, two and a half days later, the 100,000 Youzhou army pushed all the way to Julu County in Xingzhou, Qinghe County in Beizhou, and Ande County in Dezhou, where they met the three lines of defense built by the Tiance Army. (To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you for the very happy tip and GerryY's monthly pass. That's all for today, in fact, there are 2,000 words of content, but it may have to be modified, so it can't be sent.

This paragraph is difficult to write, there is a lot of information, the total strength of the rebellion on the side of An Lushan and Hui Hui is 470,000, and the entire north of the Tang Dynasty is a war, the scale is too large, and it is naturally difficult to write.
