Yang Kan continued: "Yang Zhong's troops have always been known for being war-resistant and belligerent, we will defeat it with the main force of the whole army, Yuwen Hu will naturally not be able to defend those rabble, when the Gao general in the north will wave his army south, Yuan Xin will be difficult to resist, as soon as the north gate of Chang'an is opened, the heart of Yuwen Hu's army has changed greatly, we will take advantage of the situation to force Xinfeng, and the world's major events can be decided." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Otherwise, it seems unrealistic to wait here and find out the flaws of the other party and kill them with one blow. ”

Gao Huan nodded, and then ordered the general Murong Shaozong to lead 50,000 troops to attack the camp of the Western Wei army in Xinfeng, and Murong Shaozong's troops were divided into two ways to command 40,000 people to attack Yang Zhong in Xinfeng head-on, and let Wang Taotang, the governor of the supervising army, lead 10,000 people to detour to the south of Xinfeng, intending to attack Yang Zhong's rear granary. Yang Zhong received the news in Baling, quickly returned to the defense, and immediately ordered Dou Luguang and Xue Yusheng to lead 10,000 horses out of the city and set up a walled wall, and each other was a horn.

Only ten miles away from Xinfeng, Murong Shaozong's troops encountered Dou Luguang's attack, when Dou Luguang was camped on the hillside in the north of the city, and Xue Yusheng was in the woods in the southeast of the city.

Who knew that Wang Taotang's 10,000 horses happened to march from further south, and they met Xue Yusheng, who was waiting in the woods. Xue Yusheng originally didn't want to fight against Wang Taotang, but it was inevitable that the two armies would meet, and it was only a matter of time before they were exposed, so Xue Yusheng had to give up the plan to attack Dou Luguang and turn his head to face Wang Taotang's men.

Wang Taotang's troops had fought in Mobei and Rouran, as well as the Turkic and Murwei minority tribes before, although the number was not large, but they were very good at fighting counter-wars, he originally wanted to lead the army directly to Xinfeng City, and catch Yang Zhong off guard, but he didn't expect to meet Xue Yusheng's troops who were ready to attack in the southeast of the official road, and they were the ones who were suddenly attacked.

Wang Taotang's troops fell into a bitter battle at the beginning because of lack of preparation, but there were even signs of being surrounded and defeated, but Wang Taotang was worthy of being a veteran of the battle array, and soon he found that there was confusion between Li Jinghe and Xue Zongbao's troops, so he sent people to pretend to be the enemy's heralds, which soon caused confusion among their troops, although Xue Yusheng's main force of the Chinese army was not affected, but the offensive of the Eastern Wei army was significantly delayed, and Xue Yusheng had to order his subordinates to reorganize and attack again.

Wang Taotang seized this opportunity to immediately disengage with him, and after evacuating a few miles later, he immediately redeployed his position. Originally, Xue Yusheng wanted to continue to pursue Wang Taotang's rout, but Yang Zhong in the city sent an order for him to immediately join Dou Luguang's troops and entrap Murong Shaozong. There was no way, so he had to lead his men and horses to turn their guns and attack Murong Shaozong to the north.

Beforehand, Dou Luguang had already provoked Murong Shaozong's troops according to the agreement between the two parties, and Murong Shaozong was indeed fooled, 40,000 people fought 10,000 people, and Dou Luguang's position on the hillside was immediately hit by devastating blows in turn. The stones and ballistas hit his camp directly like the scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, because his troops were mainly infantry and were not prepared to deal with siege equipment, so as soon as the battle began, he suffered heavy casualties and was on the verge of destruction.

Murong Shaozong also quickly discovered that this was not Yang Zhong's main force, but a small group of troops that attracted his attention, so he became alert and was about to turn around and attack Yang Zhong's main camp in Xinfeng City, when suddenly a force came out from the south, which was Xue Yusheng's troops. At this time, Dou Luguang's 10,000 dead and wounded were only less than 3,000, and the situation was already precarious.

Xue Yusheng's sneak attack behind had a miraculous effect, Murong Shaozong's siege troops were attacked, and many equipment were burned, he wanted to organize people and horses to rescue it was too late, so he had to give up the blow to Dou Luguang and turn his gun to attack Xue Yusheng, most of Xue Yusheng's troops were light cavalry, and the mobility was very high, Murong Shaozong was led by his nose for a while, seeing that his siege equipment was burned and demolished by his troops, and Dou Luguang on the hillside also seemed to see the hope of victory, actually took the initiative to lead the remaining more than 2,000 people to kill.

Murong Shaozong's troops began to fall into chaos, and at this moment Wang Taotang's troops entered the battlefield and began to attack Xue Yusheng from behind, Xue Zongbao and Li Jinghe were both wounded at this time, especially Li Jinghe's multiple arrow wounds and gunshot wounds on his body. Seeing that Xue Yusheng's troops were going to be unable to withstand it, at this time, the five thousand people of Cao Hui Palace began to enter the battlefield, and the form was reversed at once, after all, Wang Taotang was first ambushed, and then pursued and fought fiercely with the enemy, at this time, morale was very low, and he was crushed by Cao Hui Palace.

In order to integrate the troops and reorganize the attack, Murong Shaozong had no choice but to collect his troops and order a retreat. So Wang Taotang's troops also withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner, because Cao Huigong did not know whether there was Gao Huan's main force behind Murong Shaozong, and coupled with the orderly retreat on the opposite side, he did not dare to pursue rashly, and when he saw that it was good, he collected and protected the remnants of Xue Yusheng and Dou Luguang and retreated into the city.

This time, the two sides can be said to have won and lost each other, but Dou Luguang was defeated more miserably, and only 2,000 people came back after 10,000 people went out. But because Xue Yusheng burned Murong Shaozong's siege equipment, his defeat was also acceptable in Yang Zhong's opinion. Murong Shaozong led Wang Taotang and his generals to leave the city twenty miles away and go to the village, planning to rest again, and continue to attack the city the next day, and also reported the battle ahead to Gao Huan.

Gao Yue led the remnants of the army to retreat to Fengning to recuperate at this moment, he knew that he no longer had the combat strength to help Gao Huan achieve any good results from the frontal battlefield, so he simply took a good rest, and waited for the battle in Guanzhong to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. However, Yuwen Hu has already set up three stockades at the exit of the Meridian Valley, and Da Xiwu is responsible for guarding it, which can be regarded as covering the lid.

Gao Huan and Yang Kan discussed what to do, and Yang Kan wanted to ask for a chance for his sons Yang Qiu and Yang Kun to make meritorious contributions, so he advocated that Gao Huan send people to join Li Hu and make a detour from Feng Xu on the north bank of Weishui to Xianyang to attack Chang'an in the south. Yang Kan swore and said: "Even if the king's plan cannot capture Chang'an, it can make the enemy army afraid of three points and dare not act rashly, so that the pressure on the general of Zhengxi (Murong Shaozong's general title) will be much lighter." ”

Gao Huan also felt very reasonable, but there seemed to be no generals under his command who could lead the troops into battle, Yang Kan said: "The king, I don't avoid relatives in the next step, I think this mission Yang Qiu and Yang Kun can be competent." Gao Huan and Yang Xiuzhi both laughed, because it was a defensive force involving the enemy, there should not be much danger, so Gao Huan agreed to sell him face.

So Zheng County once again divided a force of 20,000 people, led by the two brothers Yang Qiu and Yang Kun, and gathered Li Hu's general Wang Wende (this Wang Wende is not Wang Wende under Li Bi) and Wang Zhaode The two brothers joined forces with 50,000 people to attack Feng Xu. Li Hu was in the Gaohuan camp in Zheng County at the moment, and Li Yuan stayed in Huazhou's county to govern Huazhou City. (To be continued.) )
