A flying horse galloped in.

When Li Xiaogong saw the good knight, the whole person was much more relaxed. shouted excitedly, "The army of the Tang King has arrived." ”

Li Xiaogong, who was covered in blood, greeted him and grabbed his younger brother Li Daoxuan's hand, "King Tang is too timely, and if it is delayed for a while, I am afraid that the brothers will not be able to hold on." ”

Young Li Daoxuan interrupted his cousin's words and said quickly, "How long can you hold on?" ”

Li Xiaogong looked at his cousin puzzled, "Most of the soldiers and horses of King Tang will not come up again, and the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to hold on." ”

"If you can't hold on, you have to persevere, King Tang has an order, your vanguard army must hold on for another half an hour."

"What about King Tang's reinforcements?"

"I only brought three thousand Governors Battle Sword and Axe Mountain, but if there is a step back, kill on the spot!" Li Daoxuan said in a cold tone.

Li Xiaogong's face was as iron-colored, and he stood there in shock, "Tang Wanghe"

"King Tang is still arranging the formation, and the forward army must hold on for a while."

"But the Brethren"

"The forward army has 20,000 horses." Li Daoxuan conveyed Li Yuan's words word by word, "What you lack now is not soldiers and horses, but the heart to dare to fight to the death." It's just that the soldiers of the vanguard army can't mention the heart of daring to die, and how many reinforcements are transferred over now will immediately follow the chaos. Putting it to death and then coming to life, General Li, take out the heart of death, give Yang Jun a good color to see, the army of the Tang King will arrive soon. ”

Li Xiaogong's expression was pale, his lips trembled, and there was an indescribable look on his face.

"Go, this is King Tang's order!" Li Daoxuan also suppressed the feelings in his heart, and shouted coldly.

Li Xiaogong's eyes were a little dim and looked around, clenched his fists tightly, and finally roared, pulled out the Xueliang horizontal knife, and rushed to the front with the guards.

Li Daoxuan returned to the rear, and among the 3,000 men, 500 shield players had formed an iron wall. In the shield array, countless bayonets were revealed. It makes this line of defense even more hideous. Behind the shield array, under a Li Zi general flag, Li Daoxuan held a horizontal knife in his hand, locked his eyebrows and watched the bloody battle in front of him. Behind him were a full two thousand archers, one longbow after another, all aimed at the empty space in front of the formation.

On the battlefield of sixty or seventy thousand people. The 3,000-strong Overseer was undoubtedly a small force. If the army really breaks up, it can't be stopped by this little manpower.

But 3,000 men and horses lined up in the rear to supervise the battle. The symbolism is far greater than the actual meaning.

Especially for generals such as Li Xiaogong and Li Xiaoan in the forward army, the three thousand men and horses behind are the attitude and orders of King Tang.

Li Xiaogong, Li Xiaoan and other generals of the Li Tang clan no longer retreated, but roared fiercely and counterattacked.

Some soldiers could not resist the impact of the iron cavalry of the Jiang Han army. turned around and fled, but as soon as he ran in front of Li Daoxuan's formation, the archers who supervised the battle did not hesitate to pull the bowstring. A bowstring sounded, and one by one the soldiers fell to the ground, and hundreds of corpses were piled up in front of the battle, and the blood completely stained the snow on the ground red. The retreating Don Army was never returned.

"King Tang's army will arrive soon, brothers go up together, kill these bitches, and exchange the head for reward money!"

To move forward is to die. Retreating is even more dead, and the soldiers who have no way to retreat, under the instigation and command of the generals, began to burst out the most ferocious side of their hearts, and fought back to the death against the Jiang Han army attacking like a storm in the dark.

The forward of the Tang army and the Jiang Han army slowly passed from Yang Xuan's camp to the Fen River.

Li Yuan stood on a high slope across his horse, watching the big scuffle on the plain below with a serious expression.

Everywhere there was the sparkling firelight, and everywhere there was the sound of weapons clash of gold and iron. And the screams and wails.

"Father, filial piety is about to be held out. Let me take the left army up. Li Jiancheng said anxiously on the side. …,

Li Yuan said calmly, "Built." Tzu is not in charge of the army. ”

As soon as Li Xiaogong was ambushed, he had already received the news. At that time, he was very close to Li Xiaogong's front army, but after Li Yuan learned the news, not only did he not order the army to be reinforced immediately, but instead ordered the whole army to form a formation and slowly retreated two miles.

Fighting in the dark has always been a taboo for soldiers, because the darkness is always full of variables. This is especially true of this kind of plain field warfare, in which the two sides add up to more than 100,000 people. Li Yuan didn't dare to rush up the troops to reinforce him, because he knew that he was facing the four famous generals of the Great Sui, Yu Juluo, Tu Wanxu, Yang Yichen, and Pei Renji.

Retreat two miles and form a formation in place.

He was waiting, waiting to see the posture of Yang Xuan's soldiers and horses.

Half an hour passed, half of the forward army was killed and wounded, and Li Yuan finally saw a little fame.

Most of Yang Jun's troops and horses, the Chinese army's main formation is in the north wind of the battlefield.

And now Li Xiaogong and others are desperately resisting, and they have gradually stabilized their positions and no longer retreat in a hurry. Yang Xuan's cavalry has also been impacting for more than half an hour, and it has lost its initial sharpness and impact.

"It's time." In the dark, Li Yuan's eyes were like lightning, and he said firmly.

Many generals on the side are all excited, is it finally about to start?

"Yang Jian is only 50,000 horses, and he just took advantage of the ambush before, so he caught Xiaogong off guard. But until now, although Xiaogong's formation is in danger, it has not collapsed, and Yang Jun's explosive power is no longer enough. Now is the perfect time for us to join the battlefield. ”

"The generals listen to the order, and you wait with this king to lead an army of 40,000 to attack Yang Yun's base camp."

Li Yuan clamped the war horse between his legs, the war horse man stood up, Li Yuan waved the long lance in his hand, and shouted, "All the soldiers and soldiers of the army are brave enough to step forward, take Yang Xuan's dog head, and kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Forty thousand foot soldiers with spears in their hands erupted into a huge roar, rushing towards Yang Yong's camp in the north of the battlefield. Li Yuan was dressed in bright light armor, holding a lance on a horse, and his martial arts were undiminished. When Li Yuan fought against the Turks, he shot forty-seven arrows in a row, killing the enemy with arrows, and his reputation was far away from the town. Although he has been a civil servant for many years, Li Yuan, who was born in a family, is not bad at all in martial arts.

At this time, the Tang army saw that the Tang King was holding a lance on his horse and taking the lead, and he broke out with a huge roar, carrying a mighty momentum, rolling towards Yang Jin's headquarters. Forty thousand Tang army foot soldiers held spears, raised longbows, held crossbow machines, and wore sturdy Great Sui armor. The equipment is completely the most elite border army equipment of the Great Sui, and it is even a few points stronger than the equipment of Yang Jun's department, who has now retreated to Jianghan.

40,000 Tang troops rushed in, and Yang Yichen, who was sitting in the base camp, quickly mobilized 10,000 Jianghan infantry to intercept it.

The 10,000 Jianghan infantry encountered the 40,000 Tang army with high morale, and gradually couldn't resist it, and slowly fought and retreated, all the way to the base camp.

Seeing this situation, Yang Yichen had to send another 10,000 soldiers and horses from the left flank to reinforce and block the Tang army's strong offensive.

For a while, the middle battlefield was Li Xiaogong's vanguard soldiers, and he was still struggling to hold on. After receiving most of Li Yuan's reinforcements, the pressure was immediately greatly reduced, and instead a wave of counterattacks were launched. On the battlefield on the right flank, Li Yuan personally led 40,000 soldiers and horses, and it was like Mount Tai pressing the top, slowly pressing the Jiang Han army to retreat towards the base camp.

Taking advantage of the stalemate on the battlefield, the main force of Yang Jin's department was attracted to the right flank by his father's main force, and Li Jiancheng led the last 10,000 light cavalry of the Tang army, which did not move, and suddenly launched a fierce attack on Yang Jin's left flank.

War horses gallop, iron hooves rumbling.

10,000 Tang cavalry suddenly and quickly inserted from the gap in the left flank, and quickly launched a fierce attack on the 5,000 cavalry of Yujuluo on the left flank.

The back road is cut off! In an instant, Yujuluo's cavalry array was in a very disadvantageous position, and it had already cut deep into the forward queue of the Tang army, and the only rear road was cut off by the opponent's cavalry, as if it was surrounded! …,

The soldiers panicked, and this panic was captured by Li Xiaogong of the sharp forward army, who immediately commanded the few troops that he could still control, and launched a counter-attack, although not very successful, but temporarily contained the cavalry offensive of the Jiang Han army.

However, the commanders of the cavalry of the Jiang and Han armies, Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu, were very experienced, and they had already seen that the number of cavalry of the Tang army was too small to form an encirclement of them. Although they managed to cut into the rear, their front line was still very chaotic, on the verge of collapse, and could not form an effective strike.

The two generals Yujuluo and Tu Wanxu gave orders almost at the same time, and the two cavalry units that originally attacked Li Xiaogong's forward army left and right did not retreat but advanced.

The two Jianghan cavalry, with nearly 10,000 cavalry, launched a fierce charge towards the position in the middle of the two cavalry armies, completely ignoring the Tang cavalry behind. Li Xiaogong's forward troops had already been attacked by the Jiang Han army for nearly an hour, and the army was exhausted and suffered heavy casualties. At this time, when he encountered a concentrated attack of nearly 10,000 cavalry, he could no longer resist it immediately, and was constantly penetrated by the Jianghan cavalry. In the end, Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu successfully converged.

After the convergence, the Jianghan cavalry tightly bit the crack that was torn open by Li Xiaogong's forward army, and continued to rush and attack, and the forward army, which was already on the verge of collapse, finally could no longer resist.

The army collapsed, and Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu led the Jianghan cavalry like a sheep, galloping to drive the vanguard of the Tang Army to counterattack the main force of Li Yuan's army on the right flank.

The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and Li Yuan's plan to attack Yang Xuan's base camp fell short, but he was faced with the situation of his own formation being rushed and surrounded by Jiang and Han troops before and after.

Fortunately, Li Yuan has always been calm, and when he saw that the plan failed, he did not make any nostalgia, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan both shot, and successfully stopped the cavalry attack of the second general Yujuluo.

Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu led the cavalry to tear a crack in the Tang army's column, cut a bloody road from the middle, and calmly returned to the front of the Jianghan army's base camp.

The Tang army was also slowly retreating, but with the efforts of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong and other generals, the team still maintained a certain formation to prevent the pursuit of the Jiang Han army. The exhausted Jiang Han army seemed to be satisfied with such a result tonight, and did not launch a new onslaught.

Overhead, a glimmer of light had appeared in the east, and morning had arrived. Both armies began to disengage, and the soldiers and horses gradually left the battlefield like a tidal wave, leaving corpses all over the ground. (To be continued) ......,
