readx; The five thousand Yan army slaughtered like a tide, the momentum was magnificent, and the drums in the Yan army were like thunder, which suddenly lifted the spirit of the dying Yan army, and they followed the hissing and screamed as hard as they could, forgetting the hot sun overhead, and also forgetting the breathless and sultry heat.

The main formation of the Yan army was about seven miles away from the Tang army camp, but after the five thousand Yan army rushed through the five miles, the speed gradually slowed down, and there were still two miles in the two Tang army camps, and they had clearly seen the defense in the big camp, and the camp fence was full of black Tang army crossbowmen, at least more than 10,000 people.

In the front row were the crossbowmen, half-kneeling on the ground, holding up a group of crossbows, aiming at them coldly, and in the back row were the archers, who stretched out their bows and arrows, but did not fire.

Such a dense number of archers and crossbowmen really made the attacking Yan army frightened for a while, and the attacking commander Niu Jieting also knew that he could not move forward, they were just here to attack and fight, but not to really attack, if he really attacked, none of his five thousand people would survive.

"Slow down!" Niu Jieting shouted with a wave of his sword.

According to the experience of the Yan army, the most powerful crossbow arrows of the Tang army have a range of three hundred steps, but the killing distance is about one hundred and fifty steps, so Niu Jieting wants the Tang army to shoot arrows, but he can't hurt the soldiers, so he can't really let the soldiers enter within one hundred and fifty steps, but shouts and insults at about one hundred and eighty steps, forcing the Tang army to fight.

The five thousand sword and shield infantry were divided into five thousand teams, stretched the battle line, and advanced step by step in the sound of the earth-shattering war drums, cautiously, just entered within two hundred steps, the first round of crossbow arrows of the Tang army was shot, and the arrows were like dense rain, forming an arrow net in the air, and shooting overwhelmingly at the infantry of the Yan army.

The infantry of the Yan Army shouted, and at the same time raised their shields, and a 'crackle!' sounded in front of the formation. The sound of the shield hitting, the rain of arrows almost hit the shield, but they were all the end of the strong crossbow, the force was not large, many arrows could not even nail the shield, and rebounded to the ground.

In the first round of arrow rain, no one in the Yan army was killed or injured, and then the second round of arrows roared again......

Li Qing'an sat on the high platform, looking at the bluff of the Yan army hundreds of steps away, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, although Li Guiren was cunning, but the generals under him were not smart, and it was easy to fall into a mindset, could it be that if the Tang army didn't fight, it must be closed?

"Pass my order and order the Third Guards cavalry to come out from the left and right side gates and annihilate these 5,000 infantry!"

The standard-bearer on the high platform gave Li Qing'an's order in flag language.....

Li Guiren has been watching the situation of the high platform from seven miles away, in fact, such a huge monster-like high platform protruding from the sky, who will pay attention to it, just as Li Qingan can faintly see him, he can also see a little situation on the high platform.

There was a man sitting on the high platform, although Li Guiren's eyesight was not as good as Li Qing'an, and he couldn't see the man's appearance and outfit clearly, but he could still roughly guess a clue.

The man sat on a chair, which was the habit of the Hu people in the Western Regions, if it was Shangshu Xiangguo or something like the one from the imperial court, it should be sitting on the couch, and then there were seven or eight guards standing behind him, and the man on the high platform would not be anyone else except Li Qing'an.

Li Guiren didn't care about how his infantry attacked the Tang camp, he only cared about Li Qing'an's actions, after the Tang army fired two rounds of arrows, he suddenly saw the flag on the high platform began to wave, although he couldn't understand the Tang army's flag language, but he could guess that the Tang army must have changed, he changed his mind, suddenly understood, and immediately shouted: "Collect the order, hurry!" ”

The rumbling drums of the attack in the army suddenly turned into the gong of Mingjin to collect the troops, but it was too late, and I saw two cavalry teams rushing out from both sides of the Tang camp, each with five thousand people, brandishing their swords, like the wind and lightning, like the tide of the sea, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves startled everyone.

The infantry of the 5,000 Yan Army was even more frightened, and without waiting for Niu Jieting's order, they turned around and fled, and the 5,000 Yan Army was in ruins, but they fled back less than a mile, and they had no way to retreat, and every Yan army was so frightened that they were frightened and chaotic.

The 10,000 cavalry of the Tang army were all Dawan horses, the horse speed was extremely fast, and the two cavalry, one left and one right, like two iron pincers, quickly overtook the Yan army, and the two iron pincers closed together, cutting off their retreat.

The leading army, He Lou Yurun, gave the order to slaughter: "Kill them all, not one will be left!" ”

10,000 cavalry let out a roar, the horses galloped, the cavalry waved spears and horizontal knives, and slaughtered into the Yan infantry group, the advantage of the cavalry is not only its mobile surname, but also the strength of its individual combat, in an instant, the head of the Yan army rolls, the blood flows like a river, the horizontal knife splits the head, the spear pierces the chest, the infantry is kicked over by the war horse, under the iron hooves, the infantry bones are broken and broken, and the wails are all over the field.

Niu Jieting's eyes were red, and he yelled: "Form a phalanx and rush out!" ”

But his voice was so small that it was drowned out by the shouts of the Tang army, the muffled thunder of horses' hooves, and the wailing and screaming of soldiers.......

When the Yan army was killed and retreated, when they retreated to the edge of the Tang camp, ten thousand arrows suddenly fired in the Tang camp, shooting more than 1,000 Yan army infantry to the ground, and the screams resounded in front of the Tang camp.

There was cavalry oppression and killing in front, and there was merciless shooting by crossbowmen in the back, the surrounded Yan army was already out of whack, Niu Jieting was already desperate, he saw that the number of Tang cavalry in the northwest corner was not large, so he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Follow me!" ”

More than a thousand infantry around him followed him to the northwest corner, and whether he could kill a bloody way was up to him......

The sudden change was only in the rabbit and the falcon, and before the main formation of the Yan army could react, the five thousand Yan army infantry had been surrounded and killed, and the soldiers of the Yan army who were still shouting and noisy in the main formation just now suddenly quieted down, and everyone was stunned, looking blankly at the Tang army's wanton killing of their own army.

The tremendous pressure made it difficult for Li Guiren to calm down, and he immediately ordered: "Go and pick it up!" ”

In order to save morale, he did not hesitate to send his most elite cavalry, so that the mountain fell, 10,000 dragged the river cavalry launched, although they only had 10,000 cavalry, but the momentum was as strong as tens of thousands of cavalry, even Li Qing'an on the high platform couldn't help but nodded, no wonder Wei Boyu's army would be defeated by this cavalry, it was indeed very sharp, known as the first elite of An Lushan, it really made sense.

Li Qingan immediately ordered: "Collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”

"When! While! While! The bell rang to collect the troops, the Anxi army ordered like a mountain, the Tang cavalry did not have the slightest love of fighting, quickly withdrew from both sides of the battlefield, they rescued the wounded brothers, brought the bodies of the dead brothers, and evacuated like a low tide, and retreated cleanly in an instant, leaving only the stumps and broken arms and the Yan soldiers who groaned in pain.

Of the 5,000 Yan army infantry, only more than 500 people remained standing and did not fall to the ground, and everyone was wounded, including the main general Niu Jieting, who was shot three times and lay on his horse, already dying.

The cavalry roared to the river and rescued the last remnants of the soldiers, but they did not dare to approach the Tang army barracks, a gust of wind came, and another gust of wind retreated, and within one hundred and fifty steps from the Tang army barracks, there were more than a hundred wounded Yan soldiers, they groaned in pain, and when they saw that the cavalry did not care about them, they began to struggle to crawl back to their positions.

At this time, the crossbowman general Zhao Chongjie waved his hand, and hundreds of thick and long arrows shot out, drawing parabolas in the air, nailing all the wounded soldiers on the ground, and the front of the Tang army camp became silent, and a gust of wind blew, bringing a pungent bloody atmosphere.

Li Qing'an, who was on the high platform, watched the Yan army's 10,000 Luohe cavalry return, and he suddenly gave an order, "Order Li Fei Yuanli, He Lou Yurun and Zhao Chongyu to lead 10,000 cavalry each, Zhao Chongjie to lead 10,000 crossbow cavalry, and Li Siye to lead 8,000 Mo sword troops to fight!" ”

．．．．．．．．

In the Yan army's large array, the Luoluo River cavalry returned, and they only brought back a few hundred remnants of the army in the end, which made the Yan army feel chilled up and down.

Li Guiren also felt extremely frustrated, saying that he was going to attack and fight, but in the end the whole army was almost wiped out, it seemed that they took the initiative to attack, but in fact, the initiative was completely in the hands of the Tang army.

"Humble ..... Niu Jieting.... Excuse the general! ”

Niu Jieting was helped up by several soldiers, he was covered in blood, pushed away the soldiers who helped him, and fell to his knees.

Li Guiren stared at him for a long time, and suddenly he sighed and ordered to the left and right: "Pass my order, withdraw ......"

The rest of the words were not finished, only the drums in the Tang army camp were heard rumbling, and the drums shook the heavens and the earth, and several black and oppressive Tang army brigades appeared from both sides of the barracks, with nearly 50,000 people.

The sudden change in the camp of the Tang army made the soldiers of the Yan army look at each other, and after waiting for almost a morning without going to battle, it was time to go back for lunch, but the Tang army came out.

Li Guiren's face turned pale in an instant, Li Qingan actually sent troops at this time, his soldiers were hungry and had just been demoralized by the defeat of the infantry, but Li Qingan seized this opportunity, this person was really too vicious.

He looked up at the high platform, and saw that Li Qing'an was already standing up, and he was also looking at this side, Li Guiren seemed to see the smug smile on his face, and Li Guiren's fists couldn't help but clench.

"General, it's better to withdraw, and we won't be able to leave." A general whispered behind him.

"It's too late to withdraw."

Li Guiren gritted his teeth and said, "Since you're here, let's fight to the death!" ”

．．．．．．．．

Although Li Guiren lost 5,000 infantry, there were still 75,000 people, and there were three cavalry teams with strong combat effectiveness, and although Cai Xide's army was not in order, their combat effectiveness was actually not weak, of course, if the Tang army used the earth-shaking thunder, it could easily defeat the Yan army.

But in the pre-war meeting, Li Siye resolutely opposed the use of earth-shaking thunder, his reason is very simple, if you rely on earth-shaking thunder to defeat this Yan army, they will not win, Li Siye's opposition has been unanimously supported by the generals present, the first army of the Anxi army in the world is not based on earth-shaking thunder, relying on their hard battles to fight, if they rely on earth-shaking thunder to win this battle, then how can they prove to the world that the Anxi cavalry is stronger than the Youzhou iron cavalry.

Although Li Qingan understood that Li Siye was actually a little selfish, because Li Guangbi achieved the miracle of 2,000 people annihilating 30,000 people by relying on the earth-shaking thunder, if the earth-shaking thunder was also used in this battle, then wouldn't he Li Siye never be able to surpass Li Guangbi.

Li Siye's mind was seen through by Li Qing'an, he just smiled, did not say to use the earth-shaking thunder, nor did he say no, only one sentence, depending on the situation, he Li Qing'an wants absolute victory, not a moment of vanity, if there is no need to use it, he will satisfy everyone's vanity, but if the situation is unfavorable, he will not hesitate to use his killer weapon, for this reason, Li Qingan specially transferred ten thunderbolts and one hundred and fifty sky-shaking thunderbolts from Anxi.

The prelude to the great battle had slowly begun, and the battlefield between the two sides was a plain about five miles long between the two large battalions, which was extremely suitable for cavalry combat.

The way of fighting in the Central Plains is slightly different from that of the Western Regions, many times it is not the whole army that presses a melee, and you fight to the death, who has more troops, whose strength is strong, who wins, not exactly, the two armies in the Central Plains are more disciplined in their operations, just like the two sides of the problem, you come up with a problem I will break, I will come up with a problem and you will attack, so there is a saying that there are consecutive victories or consecutive defeats.

But it is not the Three Kingdoms when the generals are single-handedly victorious, it seems that the war has become a heads-up between the two generals, one side of the generals is defeated, and the soldiers also flee with the defeat, so the war is inevitably a bit of a child's play, at this time the Central Plains army fights, more attention is paid to the formation, pay attention to the cooperation between the military branches.

Historically, Li Guiren used 8,000 cavalry to set up a long snake formation on the edge of the Wei River, and the Tang army attacked the snake body, but was attacked by the head and tail, and the Tang army was defeated.

Immediately, Guo Ziyi broke Li Guiren's long snake formation with a hard crossbow, and the thief army was defeated, and Li Guiren finally swam across the river and fled for his life.

Generally speaking, both sides will not be pressed by the whole army, if the first battle is lost, the losing side will be defeated and retreat more than ten miles, and the whole army will fight the second battle, if it loses several battles in a row, and the morale is lost, that is the time for the whole army to be defeated.

This is the rule of the Central Plains army to fight, Li Guiren is a decent person, and he is also ready to use this method of war to compete with the Tang army.

But Li Guiren didn't realize that the army he was facing was not the Tang Army in the real sense, but the Anxi Border Army, and all the generals of this army, including the commander Li Qing'an, had been fighting against the Turgish, Arabs, and Tubo people for many years, and their awareness and thinking of fighting were completely different from those of the Central Plains army.

They didn't have the idea of fighting with the Yan army for several battles at all, but thought about completely annihilating the Yan army in a battle.

Li Guiren sent the general Zhang Zhongzhi to fight the first formation, Zhang Zhongzhi's 20,000 men are Xi people, 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, he had a simple formation drill for the Xi army when he was in Dezhou, Zhang Zhongzhi used 20,000 cavalry to discharge a long snake formation, from north to south about seven miles, lying in front of the Tang army.

Li Qing'an saw it on the high platform, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, he had fought for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen the enemy use this kind of one-word long snake formation, which was only seen in romance novels.

Xi Yuanqing, who was behind him, stepped forward and smiled: "This word long snake formation is actually the same as fighting snakes, if you want to fight seven inches, seven inches is generally the command center of the enemy, but the seven inches of this long snake formation are not in the military formation, general, please look!" ”

Xi Yuanqing pointed to Luosong Peak in the distance, and Li Qingan noticed that there was actually a flag stand on Luosong Peak, with a flag command on it, from his position, it seemed a little far away, but from the battlefield, it was not far away, and it could be seen very clearly.

Xi Yuanqing shook his head lightly and said, "It is precisely because Qicun is not in the military formation that this long snake formation is not easy to break." ”

Li Qingan sneered and said: "Li Guiren wants me to talk about the rules, one after another, why should I follow him, who said that this long snake formation is not easy to break, see how I break it." ”

He immediately ordered: "Pass my order, Zhao Chongxuan will attack the snakehead!" ”

The flag waved, and a cavalry in the Tang array rushed out, this is Zhao Chongxuan's fourth guard and 10,000 cavalry, Xi Yuanqing's face immediately became solemn, Zhao Chongxuan and he have been in Jiannan for a long time, like brothers, he is not optimistic about Li Qing'an beating the snake's head, if that is the case, the snake tail will sweep in, front and back, Zhao Chongxuan's situation is worrying, his face is unconsciously worried, Li Qing'an glanced at him, and couldn't help sneering, it seems that this Xi Yuanqing has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and the poisoning is also quite deep, who said that he must fight one-on-one.

Zhao Chongxuan's 10,000 cavalry swept like a whirlwind, and like a swift and powerful iron fist, aimed at the head of the snake and smashed hard, 10,000 iron cavalry instantly killed into the enemy's long snake formation, sure enough, the snake tail enemy army quickly swept over, just like a giant snake, once it was touched, it would entangle the Tang army in a circle.

Xi Yuanqing: 'Ah! With a bang, nervously watching the situation on the battlefield, Li Qingan snorted, and then ordered: "Zhao Chongjie's troops attack, and He Lou's Yurun troops help in the battle!" ”

Xi Yuanqing suddenly understood that Li Qing'an's strategy was actually three to one, just like one person being entangled in a snake, and the other two slashing with a knife and smashing with a stone, although it was a bit out of line, it was also a way to break the long snake formation.

Li Qingan glanced at him again, and said lightly: "Killing with a wooden stick is also killing, killing with a sword is also killing, as long as you kill the other party, why care about what means are used?" ”

Xi Yuanqing's face turned red, and he bowed down and said, "I have been taught!" ”

"It's good for you to be taught, you can lead three thousand troops around the back of Luo Song Peak and burn down the enemy camp, is there a problem?"

It's not a matter of philosophy, it's a question of whether he obeys military orders, can he still bargain with the manager?

Xi Yuanqing knew this very well, and he immediately bowed down and saluted: "Obey the order!" ”

He walked briskly to the top of the stairs and descended from the platform.

．．．．．．．．．

The long snake array has undergone a mutation, the snake tail is entangled, but it was intercepted by Zhao Chongjie's crossbow cavalry and He Lou Yurun cavalry, Zhao Chongjie's crossbow cavalry used the 'rhinoceros moon crossbow', the speed is fast, the strength is strong, the armor penetration effect is better, a hundred steps away, 10,000 crossbow cavalry ambushed left and right, the crossbow arrows are like overwhelming raindrops whistling head-on, the snake tail Yan army was caught off guard, the soldiers screamed and hit the arrow, the war horse neighed, and fell down violently, thousands of snake tail Yan soldiers were shot over and fell to a large area, with heavy casualties.

The mud on the battlefield has been dried by the sun, only to see the dust all over the sky, the yellow dust rolling, He Lou Yurun's 10,000 troops are like thunder, smashing into the snake body from the middle, and the long snake formation is scattered.

Li Guiren was so angry that he trembled, he never expected Tang Jun to be so unruly, so what was the use of setting up a formation? Seeing that the Long Snake Formation had been killed by the Tang Army, and there were many defeats, he was so anxious that he immediately ordered: "Ashina is going to help from the Ministry of Rites!" ”

The military order was issued, 10,000 dragged Luohe cavalry and 10,000 Youzhou cavalry under the leadership of the general Ashina Congli, pounced on the crossbow cavalry of the Tang army, and the cavalry of Lifei Yuanli also attacked, and the 10,000 Tang cavalry led by the Tang army intercepted the 10,000 Youzhou cavalry, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.

But the 10,000 dragged river cavalry ignored the cavalry of Lifei Yuanli, they rushed through the oblique thorns, and rushed straight to the crossbow cavalry, they had the fastest war horse of the Yan army, the strongest armor of the Yan army, and the sharpest horizontal knife, the general Ashina Congli was full of confidence, he could quickly defeat the crossbow cavalry of the Tang army.

But the strongest cavalry of the Yan army did not expect that Li Siye led the eight thousand Mo Dao Army to wait for them for a long time, and Li Qing'an sent Li Siye's Mo Dao Army to fight just to deal with the sharpest cavalry of the Yan army, which is said to be the first cavalry in the world.

At some point, Anxi Modao and Youzhou Iron Cavalry have become myths in the Tang Army, and many people have thought about what the result would be if these two armies fought hard, but no one would really believe that this kind of thing would happen, one in the northwest, one in the northeast, thousands of miles apart, and the same empire, which is simply incredible, but today, it really happened.

On the high platform, Li Qingan's eyes also flashed with a trace of excitement, this is also the battle he has been looking forward to for a long time, he stared closely at the battle between the Modao Army and the Luoluo River Cavalry, the results of these two armies are directly related to the final outcome of today's battle.

The 10,000 cavalry that dragged down the river were like a sharp spear, and the horses galloped and were as fast as lightning, which could pierce everything, tear everything, sweep everything, and they had been arrogant for a long time, and in their opinion, there was no army in the world that could compete with them.

With an overwhelming momentum, they rushed towards the Eight Thousand Mo Sword Army, and their horses' hooves would step out of a bloody path.

Eight thousand Mo knives are also the most elite in Anxi, each person is more than eight feet tall, majestic, wearing heavy armor, holding a three-zhang long Mo knife, they quickly lined up into a large phalanx, front and back, left and right, all by the Mo knife army to face each other, just like a three-headed and six-armed god.

With a kind of steady and solemn like Mount Tai, they went step by step to meet the fierce Trolling River Cavalry, if the Trolling River Cavalry is the sharpest spear in the world, then they are the most solid shield in the world.

The Mo Dao flashed with cold light in their hands, and the eyes of each Mo Dao soldier shot an incomparably resolute gaze, like how the waves roared, they were the reef, standing still, and tearing the waves to pieces.

Li Siye is in the first column of the Modao Army, he is located in the middle, his height makes him stand like a god, he is the mainstay of the Modao Army, as long as he is there, the courage of the Modao Army will be invincible in the world.

Getting closer and closer, the cavalry rushed like a swift wind, the sharp forward had gradually formed a cone, only to hear a muffled sound like the earth tearing, the wild waves and the Taishan reef collided violently, a bloody killing machine rushed into the sky, the Modao army was knocked open a big mouth five zhang wide and two zhang deep, almost torn, dozens of heavy armor soldiers were smashed to pieces, the heavy armor was shattered, twisted into twisted flowers, at the same time, more than a hundred cavalry and war horses also huge habitual surnames crashed into meat sauce, There were even several horses and soldiers who were knocked into the air, rolling in the air, and falling more than a dozen feet away.

The gap in the Modao military wall was quickly filled, Li Siye roared, and the Modao was swung out strongly, splitting a rushing Xi cavalry man with a horse into two sections, blood sprayed wildly, and the long knife immediately reversed, and split a cavalry into two sections from waist to shoulder, the blade swung and swept away, and the three cavalry couldn't dodge, and the Tianling cover was cut off, and the brains flowed all over the ground.

Li Siye slashed three times, and five cavalrymen died tragically under his sword, and dozens of soldiers around him were greatly demoralized, roaring again and again, waving their swords, and flying their limbs, and in an instant, more than 200 cavalrymen died tragically under their swords.

Mo knife was originally invented by the Han army in order to deal with the Turkic cavalry, it appeared in the early Tang Dynasty, only because the cost was too high and gradually disappeared in the mainland, because Anxi fought with the Hu cavalry for a long time, so the Mo knife army has been retained, plus the local people of Anxi have the blood of the Kushan and Aryans, and the figure is generally tall, providing a rich source of soldiers for the selection of Mo knife soldiers, which makes the Anxi Mo knife army gradually famous all over the world.

In the Anshi Rebellion, seeing that An Lushan's army would sweep through Guanzhong, it was precisely because Li Siye, who came from Anxi, led the Modao Army to be extremely brave and killed the An Lushan rebels to the point of blood, and the rebels fled, and the battle turned the tide of the battle in Guanzhong.

And today, the eight thousand Modao army once again shined in the battle of Shangdang, more than two hours have passed, the Modao phalanx is already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the Luohe cavalry has suffered more than half of the casualties, and another Khitan cavalry that surrounded and killed the Modao army also suffered thousands of casualties, and the Modao army has only lost more than 400 soldiers so far.

The tragic slaughter continued, and the Troop Cavalry was not willing to accept defeat, they kept looking for the weak points of the Modao Army to attack fiercely, but in exchange for more deaths and defeats.

．．．．．．．．

At this time, the whole battlefield was already a melee, the military flag orders on both sides had expired, the long snake array had already been killed and disappeared, the Tang army's 30,000 cavalry and 8,000 Mo sword army fought head-on, against the 70,000 Yan army, and Zhao Chongjie's 10,000 crossbow cavalry had been reduced to zero, they took 100 people as a team, hunted the Yan army on the periphery, they did not fight the Yan army head-on, when the Yan army chased them, they immediately withdrew, and when the Yan army let go of them, they returned again.

Zhao Chongjie rode like flying, he had no arrows, arrows and arrows took people's lives, hundreds of Tang crossbow cavalry under his command followed him to shoot the enemy from the periphery, at this time, they went around to the southwest corner of the Modao Army, suddenly, they saw a group of dragged river cavalry fleeing from the desert, about more than 300 people, the Tang army crossbow cavalry was suddenly excited, the arrows were like a torrential rain, and the group of dragged river cavalry was ruthlessly shot to death.

There is a general hidden in the Towing River Cavalry, it is the Ashina Congli, the chief general of the Trailing River Cavalry, he saw that the Yan army was about to be defeated, so he was ready to flee back to Li Guiren to discuss the withdrawal of the army, but he happened to meet Zhao Chongjie of the Tang Army and his crossbow cavalry.

Seeing that his own soldiers were all dead under the arrows, Ashina Congli was furious, and raised his knife to slash at the crossbow cavalry of the Tang Army.

"Head! This seems to be the commander of the Drag River Cavalry. ”

The deputy general, Su Yu, suddenly recognized Ashina Congli, and he shouted excitedly, "Do you want to catch him alive?" ”

Zhao Chongjie glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you want to be roded with a hundred military sticks?" ”

Su Yu was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, Li Qing'an had a strict order last night, 'Capture the prisoners, and stick a hundred military sticks!' ”

This is not to accept the surrender of this Yan army.

Zhao Chongjie saw Ashina fighting from the trapped beast, and couldn't help shouting: "Shoot him to death with random arrows!" ”

Hundreds of Tang soldiers fired arrows in unison, Ashina screamed miserably, fell off his horse, and he was shot like a hedgehog.

．．．．．．．．．．

The battle has been fought from noon to dusk, the balance of victory has gradually tilted towards the Tang army, Li Guiren's heart is like fire, he has already seen that even if the Tang army does not need to shake the sky and thunder, their strength is still far above their own, especially the terrifying Modao army, in front of them, no army is vulnerable, and the most elite cavalry of the Yan army was almost wiped out by it.

Although the defeat of the Yan army has been decided, Li Guiren has no intention of retreating, he has only one belief, bloody battle to the end, even if there is only one soldier left, even if he himself dies on the battlefield, in fact, he knows very well that he has no way to retreat, the Tang army has surrounded him from all sides, the food has been exhausted, and the military rations at night are gone, rather than being surrounded and annihilated by the Tang army, it is better to die in a bloody battle on the battlefield.

"General, are you going to withdraw your troops quickly? If we don't withdraw, we'll collapse. ”

A general persuaded with a crying voice: "Now the withdrawal of troops is our only ....."

Before he finished speaking, his head had already been slashed by Li Guiren.

"Beat the drums!"

Li Guiren shouted: "Boost the morale of the three armies, kill a Tang army, and reward one hundred taels of gold!" ”

The long-silent offensive drum rumbled again, but it was difficult to boost the morale of the Yan army, everyone knew that their defeat was decided, and they were not facing the ordinary Tang army, but the Anxi army, which had been killed from one battle after another.

At this moment, the banner on the top of the mountain changed, but no one noticed it, but Li Qing'an saw it, they knew that this was the three thousand cavalry killed by Xi Yuanqing from behind on the top of the mountain, Li Qing'an couldn't help but admire Xi Yuanqing's calmness, and he actually waited for two hours before launching an offensive, and chose the best time, this is not a coincidence, this is Xi Yuanqing's judgment of the battle situation, no wonder Gao Xianzhi said that he can be the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and he is indeed a great general.

"Pass my orders!"

Li Qingan also ordered, "Leave the first guard and three thousand Mo sword troops to guard the camp, and the rest of the soldiers are ready to be killed with all the army!" ”

He still has 30,000 troops in his hands, and these 30,000 troops will give the Yan army the last and most fatal blow.

．．．．．．．．．

"It's gone off!" Someone in the Yan army pointed to the camp tent and shouted, Li Guiren initially thought that the sunset was shining on the camp, but when he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised, only to see a sea of fire burning in the camp, and soon the smoke was billowing and the fire was soaring to the sky.

"Oh no, the Tang army is coming from the east!"

The soldiers of the Yan army shouted, the morale of the army began to be confused, the Yan army began to collapse, the collapse first started from the northernmost Zhang Zhongzhi department, Zhang Zhongzhi's 3,000 army took the lead from the battlefield and ran to the northeast, the domino effect began to appear, An Taiqing also led 5,000 cavalry to flee south, at this moment, the 30,000 fresh troops of the Tang military camp were killed, and in an instant, the Yan army was defeated like a mountain, tens of thousands of soldiers trampled on each other, and fled in all directions.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The war drums of the Tang army shook the earth, this is the drum of pursuit, this is the order to kill the enemy army, the Tang army soldiers roared, the army covered the killing, killing the Yan army into a river of blood, the corpses were piled up, the Yan soldiers knelt down and begged bitterly, trying to surrender and survive, but Li Qingan had already issued a military order not to surrender this beast army before the war, and the surrender of the Yan army was in exchange for ruthless killing, this beast army was killing the Han people, and when humiliating the Han women, the order of death was already doomed.

"A hundred rods for the captives, and the merit is judged by the head!" This is the order that Li Qingan issued to the whole army last night.

．．．．．．．

"General, run away!"

Dozens of pro-soldiers desperately pulled the reins of Li Guiren's horse, but Li Guiren refused to flee, he kept shouting to the fleeing Yan army: "Don't escape, we still have a chance!" ”

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him, the defeated army scattered his own soldiers, Li Guiren pulled the frightened war horse, trying to stabilize the war horse, at this moment, he suddenly felt something, turned around, only to see a little starlight flashing in front of him, without waiting for him to react, he only felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and his eyes began to darken, at the moment when he lost his light, he saw a Tang army general wearing a golden helmet, looking at him coldly from dozens of steps away, holding a black bow in his hand.

"Li Qing'an!" It was the last thought he had when he touched the arrow in his head.

The ruthless killing was carried out for two days and two nights, in Luzhou, 80,000 Yan troops had no way to go to the sky, no way to go down, and there was no chance to be captured, this Luosong Ridge Battle can be called the most cruel and tragic battle since the Tang Dynasty, 82,000 Yan troops were killed more than 81,000 people, no one was captured, Li Guiren, the main general of the Yan army, was shot to death by Li Qing'an, the general Ashina Congli died under the arrows of the crossbow cavalry, and the general Niu Jieting died in the chaos.

But there are also lucky people, Zhang Zhongzhi with more than 20 personal soldiers swam across the river, fled to the northeast of the river, another Yan general An Taiqing also led hundreds of personal soldiers to flee south, hiding in the mountains, later, most of his soldiers died of illness and starvation, An Taiqing disguised himself as a peasant after half a year, and escaped back to Hebei from Baicheng by luck, and returned to An Lushan's tent.

The fiasco of the Battle of Shangdang cut off An Lushan and Shi Siming's hope of getting out of Hebei, and until they finally perished, their armies were never able to enter the east of the river again.

Five days later, the Tang army buried all the corpses, Li Qing'an appointed Shi Han Zhiming, the governor of Qinzhou, as the Taishou of Luzhou, and ordered him to recruit displaced people to rebuild their homes, and he ordered the general Xi Yuanqing to be the governor of Luze, leading an army of 20,000 to defend Luzhou and Zezhou, and he personally led an army of 50,000 to Taiyuan.
