The changes in history often come one after another, because of Li Rupei's crossing, because of the rise of the iron-blooded army, a series of events that changed history have happened, Shannan Xidao Jiedu made Lu Yanhong was killed is the beginning of the whole change, and then Huang Kuo and Zhao Zhang under the command of Huang Chao were killed by the iron-blooded army, and Huangchao's siege of the eastern capital Luoyang was frustrated, what Li Rupei would not have thought of was that Shang Rang, who had followed Huang Chao from birth to death, and became the so-called prime minister of the Great Qi State after Huang Chao captured the capital and became the emperor, was also executed by Huang Chao because of the Iron and Blood Army.

Of course, Li Rupei was very sober, and he knew that the real test of the Iron Blood Army and him was coming soon, that is, Huang Chao led the army under his command to attack.

This is probably the most important step to change history, if this step can't be taken, there are many things that can't be said to be talked about, although there is a strong confidence in his heart, but Li Rupei is still very cautious.

The scouts sent out had already detected the whereabouts of the Yellow Nest army.

Huang Chao was quite a little unscrupulous, leading the mighty army directly in the direction of Luoyang City, the momentum was violent, it seemed that he was thinking about revenge and exterminating the Iron Blood Army, Huang Chao had such a momentum, Li Rupei didn't care, after all, the Iron Blood Army had won decisive victories in two battles, and it was also an indisputable victory, which is enough to show that the combat effectiveness of the Iron Blood Army is extraordinary, and it also made Li Rupei sigh that he has mastered advanced military training technology, and the effect obtained is different.

Liu Yunzhang and others have already returned to Luoyang City, in order to be able to stabilize the situation in Luoyang City, and at the request of Liu Yunzhang and others, Li Rupei sent Xie Yuxin and others to lead a part of the iron-blooded army soldiers as their own envoys to enter Luoyang City, on the one hand, to maintain order in Luoyang City, on the other hand, to take good care of the more than 10,000 prisoners.

How to treat the prisoners, Li Rupei's views and practices are very clear, that is, you must not insult the prisoners, all the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army have accepted Li Rupei's concept, after all, the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army come from all over the world, and many of them later entered the Iron Blood Army and became one of them.

The army led by Huang Chao is violent, in terms of numbers, it is far stronger than the iron-blooded army, how to face the upcoming cruel battle, Li Rupei has long been mentally prepared.

Huang Chao must be attacking with all his might, then the iron-blooded army needs to show its iron-blooded side, and hit Huang Chao's army fiercely from the momentum, specifically, that is, when the fight has just begun, it is necessary to destroy the opponent's arrogance with overwhelming momentum, so that the other party can feel fear and death, feel that it is impossible to achieve victory, and there is no hope, so that the victory of the battle can be guaranteed.

In a battle of this scale, it is important not to fight for a long time, after all, the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army are also flesh and blood, and it is impossible to hold out for a long time in the face of an opponent who is several times larger than his own.

Gao Chibang, Huang Biao and others discussed with Li Rupei several times, and they also proposed various countermeasures, but in the end it was Li Rupei who made the decision, this time they had to fight face-to-face with the army under Huang Chao, and use the most elite cavalry to take the lead and give Huang Chao's army a devastating blow.

Preparations unfold in an orderly manner.

20,000 iron-blooded soldiers, plus 5,000 soldiers from Luoyang, a total of 25,000 people, divided into three parts, the first is composed of the most elite cavalry and scouts, a total of 10,000 people, the second block is composed of infantry and crossbow teams, archery teams, etc., a total of 9,000 people, the third block is mainly composed of logistics teams, a total of 6,000 people, of which 5,000 people from Luoyang, all of them are incorporated into the third camp, this is mainly because Li Rupei is not very at ease with 5,000 people, after all, this is a bloody fight, which requires courage and ability, You need to be not afraid of death and indomitable momentum, if you let these 5,000 people go into battle first, there will be deviations, which will affect the entire team.

The task undertaken by the 10,000 men of the first battalion is the most critical and arduous, they must defeat the momentum of the opponent, no matter how much sacrifice they pay, they must not take half a step back, the second battalion when the first battalion gains an advantage or is difficult to hold on, immediately reinforcements, as for the third battalion, it is equivalent to the role of reserves, used to add icing on the cake.

Li Rupei believed that the attack of the first and second battalions must end the fighting, and if the third battalion needs to rush forward, it means that the battle is already extremely cruel, and it is difficult to control who wins and who loses.

As for the commanders of the battle, Gao Chibang and Huang Biao resolutely disagreed with Li Rupei's charge at the forefront this time, and they asked Li Rupei to take command and never charge with the soldiers.

Although Li Rupei disagreed, he still couldn't resist the insistence of the two and other officers, and finally compromised, Gao Chibang and Huang Biao led the first battalion to charge, and Li Rupei commanded the second battalion to reinforce it.

This time, Gao Chibang arranged a special force of 200 people by Li Rupei's side, and told everyone that Li Rupei's safety must be protected, no matter what situation is encountered, protecting Li Rupei's safety is the biggest task.

When Huang Chao's army was still ten miles away from Wangchengpo, Gao Chibang and Huang Biao had already entered a state of imminent battle, commanding the 10,000 troops of the first battalion, ready to meet the enemy.

As a herald, Qin Erhei, after experiencing the previous day's fighting, completely adapted to the bloodshed on the battlefield, he was still a little embarrassed, when he saw the dead and blood for the first time, he couldn't help but vomit, fortunately, Li Rupei and everyone did not laugh at him, but encouraged him to adapt to all this, Qin Erhei also secretly scolded himself for being useless, look at the performance of the prince, what is the identity of the person, and can also carry a knife to kill the enemy, how can he be so delicate as an ordinary person.

In the Chinese military tent, only Li Rupei and Qin Erhei were left.

Li Rupei is carefully looking at the map and sand table, these actions Qin Erhei is very familiar with, and it was the same last time, before the war, Li Rupei had been watching the map and sand table, constantly calculating.

Qin Erhei couldn't read the map, nor could he read the sand table, but he and Jue, staying in the Zhongjun tent, couldn't speak, and after seeing that there was no tea in the teacup, he would immediately refill the water, and at the same time he also concentrated all his energy, as long as Li Rupei had an order to fight, he would convey it as quickly as possible.

"Erhei, tell me, if the army led by Huang Chao is defeated by the Iron and Blood Army, what kind of choice will they make."

Li Rupei suddenly raised this question, Qin Erhei was unprepared, and opened his mouth almost without thinking.

"Run, are you going to die here?"

"What you said is right, ordinary people will think like this, but you must know that Huang Chao is not an ordinary person, he has been rebelling for six years, and he has experienced too many battles, and he is downsizing on victory and defeat, if such a person experiences failure, what kind of choice will he make, you can talk about it."

Qin Erhei thought for a moment.

"The subordinates are very stupid, and they can't think of so much, but if you want to say that the subordinates have an enmity with someone, and you can't take revenge on me, then deal with his family, anyway, you have to get some back, so you can think about it in your heart."

Li Rupei slowly walked to Qin Erhei's side, a smile on his face.

Since Huang Chao led the army to Luoyang, although he had made comprehensive arrangements, he had always felt that something was missing, but because he was facing a difficult task, he couldn't think of what was missing for the time being, and the conversation with Qin Erhei just now made him think of what he was worried about.

If the army led by Huang Chao is defeated at Wangchengpo, according to the thoughts of ordinary people, it must be to return the same way and return to Kaifeng, and then it may be to leave the north and return to the south, but Huang Chao is not an ordinary person.

The iron-blooded army wiped out Huang Chao's 60,000 army, killed Huang Chao's younger brother Huang Kui and the first strategist Zhao Zhang, and made Huang Chao's plan to occupy the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an come to naught.

This situation is very likely.

Thinking of this, Li Rupei patted Qin Erhei's shoulder.

"Erhei, what you said is right, I reminded you, you immediately go to General Gao, tell him to send a team of scouts, return to Liangzhou, find General Song, and ask General Song to make all preparations, especially pay attention to the movement in the direction of Yangzhou, if Huang Chao leads the army from the direction of Yangzhou into Shannan West Road, or if there are other troops entering Yangzhou, then strike hard, resolutely do not be soft."

Gao Chibang and Huang Biao, who were making preparations, were together, and after hearing the order conveyed by Qin Erhei, Gao Chibang looked at Huang Biao and spoke with great emotion.

"The prince's consideration is really careful, I didn't think of this, the iron-blooded army gave Huang Chao a huge blow, if he encountered defeat in Wangchengpo, Huang Chao would not be able to swallow this breath, it is very likely to sneak attack Liangzhou, and the army will not be able to rush to the aid at that time, General Song has no preparation, and I really don't know what the ending will be."

"General Gao, I feel very comfortable following the prince's expedition, the prince has thought of all the possibilities, and he can make accurate analysis."

"Indeed, but this also reminds you and a certain that the prince once made a request, the officers of the Iron and Blood Army must learn to think, think about everything that may happen, and make a lot of preparations in advance, now it seems that it is very necessary, the prince cannot lead the army to fight every time, many times it takes many officers to make accurate judgments, there is an idea, the many battles experienced by the Iron and Blood Army should be recorded by someone, so that many officers can learn, so that everyone can learn to think."
