Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The 10,000 Tang troops who rushed from Hengshan County were stationed on the hill, and their generals were Li Zhongwen and He Panren.

Li Zhongwen is not yet in his forties, has a long beard, and has a Confucian style. He was born in the Li family of Zhao County, one of the eight pillars of Wei, the grandson of Li Bi, the Duke of Zhao Guogong, and was Li Mi's cousin in terms of seniority.

But after Li Yuan and Jinyang raised troops, the Guanlong gate valves all fell to Li Yuan, and when Li Zhiwan recruited troops in Guanzhong, Li Zhongwen led his family Ding Qu to surrender to Li Zhiwan's account. Li Zhongwen made several military exploits in attacking Chang'an, and the later official added too often Shaoqing.

And He Panren on the side of Li Zhongwen is red-eyed and blue-eyed, but he was born in the Western Regions Hu Shang, when the Sui Dynasty was in turmoil, he gathered 20,000 people in Guanzhong to roar for Kou, and only He Panren brought 20,000 horses in the 70,000 army. He Panren was able to vote for Li Zhiwan, and his army commander Li Gang made great contributions.

Li Gang is the prince of the old prince Yang Yong, Yang Yong resigned after being deposed, why Pan Ren was conquered for a long history in the last years of the great cause, and obeyed his words. He Panren was able to take refuge in Li Sanniang at the beginning, thanks to Li Gang's strength. After Li Yuan captured Chang'an, Li Gang worshiped as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the crown prince Zhan Shi, assisting Li Jiancheng.

(Gossip, during the Zhenguan period in history, this person was the young master of the crown prince, assisted by Li Chengqian, and could be described as the emperor of the three princes of the two dynasties, but the result was that the three princes were hanged, which can be described as the terminator of the prince).

Li Gang was promoted to reuse, and He Panren was only a chariot general because he was born a thief and a businessman, but Li Yuan also gave him a generous knight.

Although Li Zhongwen and He Panren are from different backgrounds, they have a good relationship with each other.

Li Zhongwen pinched his beard and said: "Since the decisive battle of Lushui, the Youzhou army has been fighting small battles along the way, and the troops have been reduced, it is not easy for this man to fight with 20,000, not to mention that it is a tired army, which has entered my hands." ”

He Panren laughed and said: "Lao Li, since Chang'an, there has been no vicious battle for a long time, and this time I have to do a big job." ”

Li Zhongwen smiled slightly, and said: "It's all the princess who does things, dare not be diligent, you and I, I can have today, and it is thanks to the princess." ”

He Panren nodded.

On the other side, Li Zhiwan had learned that Li Zhongwen and He Panren blocked the return road of Li Chongjiu's army.

Outside Li Zhiwan's armor, she was wearing a silver-white fox fur, and the white hair on the fox fur was trembling in the cold wind.

Now the Youzhou army seems to hear that after the way back is cut off, the army retreats to the side of the hill, puts up a half-moon array, and holds on to the mountain.

Li Zhiwan watched the formation carefully, and Li Yuanji and Guo Ziwu on the side were ecstatic at the moment, if they could defeat Li Chongjiu, then the loss of Jinyang and the unfavorable charges of fighting by the Lushui side could all be cleared away.

"Third sister, this Li Chongjiu can be captured in one battle." Li Yuanji laughed and said.

Li Zhiwan didn't speak, and at this time, a general beside her said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, as the so-called return to the teacher is not stopped, this battle needs to be cautious." ”

Li Yuanji couldn't help but be displeased when he heard this, and it turned out to be Qiu Shili, a general under Li Zhiwan.

When Li Yuan entered the pass, he and his younger brother Qiu Xinggong killed the leader of the righteous army, won 10,000 people, and then defected to Li Zhiwan.

Now the two of them are generals under Li Zhiwan, and when Li Zhiwan led the cavalry to attack Lushui before, the two of them and another general, Xiang Shanzhi, led the foot soldiers to rush to Luzhou one step slower. Qiu Shili didn't care about Li Yuanji's face, and fought next to Lushui, Li Yuanji's incompetence really lost the face of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Li Zhiwan pointed at the long sword and said: "The enemy retreats to the camp, is to avoid the belly and back of the enemy's situation, and this camp method, is the half-moon camp, the back of the mountain is dangerous, to the flat is easy, its sharpness lies in the two wings, the cavalry and animal husbandry are placed behind the battalion, and the general will be placed in zhongyāng." ”

Listening to Li Zhiwan's eloquent speech, the generals couldn't help but be convinced.

Qiu Xing, the younger brother of Qiu Shili, said respectfully: "Since Her Royal Highness the princess, if you see through the reality of the enemy's formation, there will be a way to break it." ”

Qiu Shili said: "There is no need to fight, now that the enemy is exhausted, it is better to send one person to persuade him to surrender." Wouldn't it be great to avoid a disaster of swords. ”

The generals looked at Li Zhiwan's reaction, and even Li Yuanji echoed and said: "It would be great if the soldiers could not be bloody." ”

Li Zhiwan shook her head after hearing this, and said: "I know the character of the enemy general, he will never surrender, don't think that the enemy army is exhausted, its Jinyang defenders and fancai will be on the way here, and our army will fight quickly." ”

"No."

"Marshal, the Tang Army is up!" Ji Chuan reported on Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu nodded, this big battalion had just been planted for less than half an hour, and the Tang army attacked it, obviously not giving himself the slightest respite.

But seeing that the Tang army was all full of foot soldiers, they were coming towards their camp.

The Tang army hastily restructured hundreds of horse-drawn carriages with the army into wooden wagons that could attack the camp and block arrows, followed by sword and shield men and crossbowmen.

The drums of war were beating, the flags were swimming, and the light cavalry was shuttling back and forth between the armies.

Hundreds of yellow Tang army battle flags flew against the wind, and under the battle flags, Tang soldiers slapped their shields with knives and shouted loudly.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The sound of the pace of the 20,000-strong army, and the sound of shouting and killing to the sky, made people feel that the sky was suddenly dark.

Li Chongjiu's Youzhou army quickly came out of the camp and rushed to the side of the camp stacked with horse-drawn carriages. Tall shields were erected on top of the carriages, and crossbowmen and archers hid behind them.

Wang Mahan laughed and said: "It's good, Lao Tzu has rested for an hour, and he has recovered his strength, it is the time to start killing, so you can come here." ”

Tu Di Ji slapped his bow and crossbow, and said: "When it comes to the body, how can the Tang army be able to beat our people." As long as you guard the camp, reinforcements will come. ”

"Shoot the arrows!" Tan Zong, who was wounded and went into battle, shouted in front of the battle.

For a while, the arrows of the Youzhou army were like flying locusts, coming out of the camp. After the Tang army heard the order, the whole army raised their shields to resist the arrows.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Two hours later.

In the camp of the Youzhou army, several fires were burned, and the Tang army retreated like a tide.

The battlefield was in shambles, with burnt chariots, broken barracks, and fallen corpses everywhere.

Li Chongjiu stood in front of the collapsed camp gate, looking at the bloody battlefield.

The two armies fought fiercely for two hours, and the Tang army once had the advantage, and it was about to break through the outer camp of the Youzhou army. However, the Youzhou army defended the wall, and the cavalry led by Etuo and Wu Gu Nai fought back desperately, and finally not only restrained the offensive of the Tang army, but also under the fierce counterattack, the Tang army almost retreated.

However, Ugunai was also wounded, and 800 heavy horsemen were killed, and only more than 500 horsemen were left dead and wounded, which shows the tragedy of this battle.

Now that the Tang army has swept away, not to return to the camp, but to give way to the north of the Youzhou army, 40,000 Tang troops hurriedly went from the direction of Dangjun on the south road.

In the north, the banners of the reinforcements of Jinyang Wei Chi Gong and Yan Yelie have appeared three miles away.
