Seeing Li Yuanji say this, Li Zhiwan could only agree, and said: "Fourth brother, although I am the commander-in-chief, but you are the supervising army, and you have the right to do so, then you lead 3,000 light cavalry to pursue, Guo Tingshi leads 3,000 men and horses to respond, and the distance between the two of you shall not exceed three miles, and I will lead the army to follow." Don't go deep, just chase after it. ”
Li Yuanji listened to Li Zhiwan's order, and when he was overjoyed, he hugged his fists and said, "No." ”
The snow in Luzhou fell even faster, and the snow on the ground was so heavy that it was already above the surface of the feet. When a horse's hooves step on it, there is an ice pit.
The snow was heavy one after another, and there was a vast expanse between heaven and earth, and the wind blew snowflakes straight into the neck of the soldiers, and the cold air penetrated into the bones, and the people and horses were seen from afar, and a layer of snow was piled up in a short time.
The sun hung brightly and without warmth, and the sun shone on the snow, piercing people's eyes.
Lu Shui has gradually moved away from him, and now the Youzhou Army is trekking among the mountains of Huo Mountain.
Li Chongjiu pressed his horse and asked, "How is the rear army?" ”
On the side, Xue Wanche said: "I have fought with the Tang army three times, and the Eto army has fought and retreated, and the Tang army is just a small force of cavalry, so there is nothing to be afraid of." But the other side has been biting behind our army, and the rear guard of our army is often less than a mile away from its forward. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "It seems that the Tang army is determined to pursue our army, and refuses to let our army return to Jinyang, by the way, who is the general pursued by the Tang army?" ”
"It's Li Yuanji, the king of Qi."
"Shanggu Gong, Jinyang Disease Report!"
"Read."
"General Wei Chi reported that Li Shimin and Li Chen, the governor of Xizhou, Zhang Lun, the deputy governor of the Taiyuan Road March, Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, Dugu Huaien, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Yun, the governor of Shaanxi, Tang Jian, the chief of the internal history, and the generals Qin Wutong and Sang Xianhe, led the main force of the Tang army with 50,000 horses, marched from Baibi along the dangerous road of the Bird Mouse Valley, and approached Taiyuan County."
Li Chongjiu said: "What is Ying Hefu doing? ”
"The Yinghe Fu army has gathered his cavalry and blocked the attack along the way, but the Tang army is extremely strong, and the Ying Hefu army can only fight and retreat, hindering the speed of its march. General Wei Chi invited Shanggu Gong to return to Jinyang as soon as possible. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "I understand, the order will go down, and the soldiers will only carry five days of dry food, and the rest will be discarded and march lightly." ”
"No."
General Li Chongjiu ordered that the infantry of the Youzhou army was constantly discarding excess grain and grass at the moment of Chao Lushui, such as flints, unknotting cones, iron horse bowls, cloth troughs, etc., all of which were discarded along the way.
The Youzhou foot soldiers accelerated towards Jinyang.
On the afternoon of this day, Eto, Wu Gu Nai, and Xue Wanjun ambushed Li Yuanji and Guo Ziwu's pursuers in a valley in Luzhou, and the two sides fought a fierce battle, each suffering hundreds of casualties.
After Li Zhiwan's main force arrived, the three generals immediately led the army to retreat.
During the fierce battle between the two armies, Li Chongjiu ordered the foot soldiers to camp in the mountains.
As the saying goes, the walker is the army, and the stop is the battalion.
Li Chongjiu set up seven battalions in the mountains, six battalions surrounded the Chinese army, like six flowers, and then a battalion on the high ground next to the road, and controlled the way with a strong bow and crossbow.
The barracks were separated by horses and guns, and the cartlets were arranged in a circle at the Chinese army.
After leaving the camp, except for a quarter of the people who were on guard, the rest rested.
The 30,000 pursuing Tang troops in the middle of the night all rushed to the side of the mountain.
On the mountain road, the Tang army was crowded in front of and behind, in an endless stream, and on the hill in front, the war horses raised their heads and spewed out rough air, biting the horses, and the light-armored cavalry gathered under the general flag of Princess Pingyang, and went to look at the heavy crowds and horses. From the sunset, the Tang army's yellow banner was reflected on the snow, and the armor was shining, with a murderous momentum.
On the opposite side of the hill, the camp of the Youzhou Army is unobstructed. The 30,000 Tang army was eyeing it.
Li Zhiwan looked from the hill, but saw that the Youzhou military camps were stacked on top of each other, and the camp tents were as heavy as the mountains undulating, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Li Yuanji also looked like a blood-stained robe, and said: "Third sister, the main force of our army has arrived, do you think you have taken advantage of the enemy's army to attack at night just after the village?" ”
Li Zhiwan pointed with the scabbard and said: "The enemy army is in an orderly formation, there are no flaws, if it is a night attack, it will be a loss for us." ”
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Third sister, you are too worried, you see that the enemy army has thrown grain and grass along the way, and it has already lost its armor, like a lost dog." Just took the opportunity to attack at night and achieved great success. ”
Li Zhiwan said: "This may be the enemy's strategy to show weakness and lure the enemy, Yin Kaishan was defeated in Lushui before, and he really hit Li Chongjiu's increase in troops and reduce the foci, although his men and horses withdrew from Lushui, but all the soldiers left on the river bank are elite soldiers." You need to be warned. ”
Li Yuanji was quite unconvinced, and said: "Yin Kaishan is just a mediocre talent, sister, you are different from him." ”
Li Zhiwan said: "Yin Kaishan is not a mediocre talent, not to mention that in such bad weather, it is not suitable for pursuing soldiers, and the soldiers are impatient to fight for a long time, once they are injured in the field, ordinary wounds are easy to kill." ”
Li Yuanji said: "A few Tian Shehan are dead, and there is nothing to ...... It's the third sister, you don't want to fight with Li Chongjiu. ”
Li Zhiwan took a deep breath and said: "There are clouds in the art of war, and there will be five virtues: wisdom, faith, benevolence, bravery, and strictness. ”
Li Yuanji quibbled, Guo Ziwu said: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the King of Qi is also a heart for war, I think Her Royal Highness the Princess is hesitant to march to the army, and it is not as decisive as attacking Chang'an." ”
Li Zhiwan frowned, and said: "What I do is not for you to teach, but the defeat of Lushui, General Yin, and General Wang are all wiped out, and Guo Tingshi's 10,000 county soldiers are not damaged, believe it or not, I will go back to Chang'an and participate in your war in front of my father!" ”
Guo Ziwu listened to Li Zhiwan's fierce words, and knew at the moment that he would anger the other party, and the other party would be a woman in charge of the whole army, and he would be decisive in killing, so saying this is by no means intimidation, but doing what he says.
How dare Guo Ziwu be strong at this time, he relented at the moment, lowered his head in fear, and said with his fists clenched: "The princess forgives her sins, and the last general will lose her words." ”
Seeing Guo Ziwu say this, Li Yuanji didn't dare to say anything more, and said: "I listen to my sister." ”
Li Zhiwan saw Li Yuanji's appearance of lowering his head and padding his feet, in the past, when he was in Chengji's hometown when he was a child, he was scolded by himself, and he also had the same expression. Li Zhiwan thought about this and no longer asked at the moment.
Because Li Zhiwan rejected the order to attack at night, the army retreated three miles and camped, but even so, the two armies were safe and sound all night.
After a day, the weather was cold, and although the sun was rising, it was even less warm. The weather was extremely cold, the temperature plummeted, and the soldiers rubbed their hands together, otherwise they would not be able to hold their weapons.
"Why can't the front army advance?" Li Chongjiu asked.
Xue Wanche replied: "Qiqi Shanggu Gong, there was a light snow at the end of the night last night, although it was not heavy, but the snow on the road ahead was buried, pressing the path. Although men and horses can pass through guò, it is not easy for marching chariots and horses to pass. ”
Li Chongjiu frowned and accompanied the army with hundreds of carts and horses, loaded with the armor of the soldiers, as well as the grain of the war horses, such as a set of equipment of the heavy cavalry of the Yan Yan are loaded in the carts on weekdays, and when marching, the soldiers and the war horses are still walking in iron armor.
But because it is so valuable, it cannot be discarded lightly, so it is said that the armor is discarded when it is defeated, and it cannot be discarded unless it is defeated. On weekdays, if a soldier abandons his armor and spear, according to military law, he will be killed.
Not long ago, after Yu Wenhua and the killing of the king, when the men and horses marched to Pengcheng County, the water route was different and the land route was different, and directly ordered to plunder 2,000 local ox carts, and the treasures of the palace maids were loaded on the carts, and the Gejia weapons were also carried by the soldiers, which led to a mutiny.
The generals of the Xiaoguo Army, Sima Dejiao, Zhao Xingshu, and Chen Botu conspired to murder Yu Wenhua, but the news was revealed and was pacified by Yu Wenhua.
But now for Li Chongjiu, the snow on the road and the movement of cars and horses have become a big problem.
When Li Chongjiu came to the front, he saw that the ruts were crushing in the snow, and several soldiers were laboriously lifting a carriage that had fallen into a deep pit from the slush with a sad face.
At present, the road is closed by heavy snow, and there is no way to advance or retreat, and the soldiers can't help but be depressed.
Li Chongjiu asked, "What are the generals' plans?" ”
Wen Yanbo, Wang Mahan and other generals are helpless.
At this time, he suddenly said: "The last general has a way." ”
Li Chongjiu's eyes lit up and said, "Say it quickly." ”
"It often snows heavily in Liaodong, so when we travel, the wheels are very high, but now we can have people shovel snow in front of us, and then let the soldiers cut down trees from the side of the mountain road and march under the car, so that we can do it." ”
Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "This method is wonderful. ”
Suddenly, he said: "I, the warriors of the Warriors, are not afraid of the cold, and can hand over the snow shoveling and logging to us to dispose of, and pave the way and build bridges for the army!" ”
"Good!" Li Chongjiu agreed.
At that moment, Tu Di Ji led three thousand soldiers to pave the road in turn, and the avenue ahead was really smooth, and the sound of military vehicles and chariots resounded on the avenue, and the difficult road was suddenly unimpeded.
Seeing this, the Han soldiers on the side couldn't help shouting in unison to rejoice, and their morale was immediately reinvigorated.
Li Chongjiu ordered the rear army to wait for the march of the army, remove all the wooden planks, and then pile up snow to destroy the road.
And the 30,000 Tang troops who were chasing behind them did not have a way to break through, and walked all the way on the rotten road that was smashed by Li Chongjiu, and it was miserable. Even the cavalry of the Don Army had to dismount and lead the horses to march.
After two more days, Li Chongjiu's army arrived in Taigu County, at the junction of Shangdang County, Taiyuan County. After entering the territory of Taigu County, the mountain gradually slows down, and it is about to enter the plain.
The front army probed the horses and reported that the Tang army was found on the hill in front of them, and the people and horses intercepted the way.
The intercepted in front were the Tang army generals Li Zhongwen and Pan Heren, both of whom were Li Zhiwan's generals when he captured Guanzhong, and they must have arrived at the order of Li Zhiwan with the 10,000 Tang troops who stayed in Hengshan County.
Hearing that there is a Tang army on the way, when it is blocked, all the generals gasped, in recent years for Li Sanniang 30,000 Tang army to catch up, the army is already tired, if you encounter this new force, it is really into a desperate situation where there is no way out, and there are chasing soldiers.
Li Chongjiu didn't feel a little worried when he heard this, because he knew that Wei Chigong and Yan Yelie's 20,000 response army must have arrived at the left at this time.
