Li Tang's Sichuan and Shu army directly crossed Nanyang and came straight to Luoyang.

This way is Li Jing and Li Xiaogong's 80,000 Sichuan and Shu army, which is the elite of the broken beam in September last year, and now after five months of rest, it is back on the battlefield.

Li Xiaogong led the general to the governor of the whole army, and then ordered Zhou Faming to be the governor of the navy and the army to be responsible for transporting grain from the river, with Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, as the deputy general, Li Jing as the marching chief, Guzhou Thorn Shi Ren Gui vanguard, Pang Yu, Li Daliang as the deputy vanguard, along the Yihe River valley passage, from Xiangyang City straight to Yique.

Yique, Yi refers to Yishui, there is Longmen Mountain and the river in Yique, Yishui flows, and it looks like a natural gate in the distance, so it is called Yique. At that time, Bai Qi broke the 240,000 Han and Wei coalition forces here, and his fame shocked the world.

Li Xiaogong's army also joined several Tang armies, and its troops were Tianzan, the assassin of Huai'an County; Yingchuan County Thorn Shi Cui Shu, Right Wu Hou Chang Shi Zhang Gongjin; Nanyang County Thorn Shi Du talent; Huaiyang County Thorn Shi Shi Derui; Xiangcheng County Guards Wei 6, Handong County Guards Xu Yiju, and Song Prefecture Governor Sheng Yanshi.

Except for Sheng Yanshi, most of these people were Wang Shichong's old subordinates, and when Li Tang attacked Zheng, they took the lead in rebelling against Tang. Now that Li Xiaogong is on the march, they each bring troops to meet.

After Li Xiaogong received reinforcements from these assassins, his troops surged, and the army of the South Road attacking Luoyang reached 120,000. After the meeting, the Tang army was huge, and the army reached the city of Yique.

And around Yique, Xue Wanshu and Shan Xiongxin have also been in business for half a year, and they were originally used as the general Heyang, as the storage of the southern barrier of Luoyang.

After the arrival of Li Tang's army, the general Zhang Gongjin and the vanguard Ren Gui. Pang Yu attacked the city together. The morale of the Tang army was like a rainbow, and Yique only held out for only two days before it fell.

At this time, Xu Shiji led Wang Bo. Meng Haigong and the soldiers of the Tun Guard Army crossed the mountains around Wuguan. When he was about to arrive at Yique, he heard the news that Yique City had been captured by the vanguard of Li Tang's army. This shocked Xu Shiji's army slightly.

Now Xu Shiji was watching the battle in Yique City, and when he saw the Tang army in the lineup under Yique City, he said to the left and right: "There is nothing about Yique City being captured, but I see that the Tang Army's South Road army is strong, which is what worries me the most, and Li Xiaogong and Li Jing are also famous generals comparable to Bai Qi and Wang Qian." It will not be easy for our army to defeat them. ”

After Xu Shiji finished saying this, a soldier on the side rode a horse and hurried over: "General, my general Shan led 20,000 horses from Luoyang and camped thirty miles north of Yique, he decided to counterattack Yique and carry out a night attack tonight, asking General Xu to cooperate." ”

When Xu Shiji heard this, he said: "General Shan's 20,000 horses are transferred, and Luoyang City has become an empty city. What kind of soldiers and horses will be used to defend the city? As soon as General Shan arrived here, he decided to attack at night, which was too risky to do, and he would not have agreed to it. ”

The soldier said, "Return to General Xu." If General Shan Dao is trapped in Luoyang at the moment, under the combined attack of Li Tang's northern and southern armies, he will fall into passivity. It is better to concentrate forces first and break Li Tang all the way first. As long as the army of Li Tang Nanlu is defeated. Then even if the main force of the Tang Army crossed the Yellow River on the North Road, it was not afraid. ”

Xu Shiji said: "It's good for General Shan to think so, but he still doesn't know the news that Li Tangnan's Route Army has received reinforcements. In front of him, only under the city of Yique, the Tang army exceeded 30,000 people, not to mention the main force of the Tang army that was constantly coming from Xiangyang. ”

When the soldier heard this, his complexion changed, and he obviously didn't expect that the Tang army in Yique City had so many troops, but he still said: "General Shan said that there is no turning back from the bow, even if the main force of the Tang army is in Yique right now, he will not waver in attacking Yique's heart." If General Xu does not cooperate, then it will be enough, he will independently counterattack to recover Yique, if he loses, he will take responsibility, and if he wins, the credit will also be shared by General Xu. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the generals of the Tun Guard Army under Xu Shiji's account were ugly. Shan Xiongxin did this completely to force Xu Shijitun Weijun to make the same decision as him.

"General! This is too much of a deception. The subordinates said to Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji stopped his hand, he was also angry in his heart, and he didn't know that Shan Xiongxin's night attack was very risky. But Xu Shiji thought for a while, and then said to the left and right: "General Shan is reasonable, the Tang army attacked Yique for one day, the soldiers were very tired, and the night defense must be lax, if our army succeeds in the night attack, it will also be an opportunity, which can frustrate the Tang army's spirit." ”

The generals listened to Xu Shiji do this, but they all kept their voices, Xu Shiji had a very high prestige in the army, and he had no last resort, he said that there was a chance, and the generals thought that there was a chance.

Xu Shiji saw that he used his prestige to stabilize the generals and said: "However, I agreed with General Shan that no matter what the battle situation is tonight, we must evacuate the battle when it is dawn." ”

That night, under the city of Yique, it was the moon and stars.

Because Yique City is small, the Tang soldiers are stationed outside the camp, but seeing that there is silence in the camp, the noise of the day has stopped, and the soldiers are in storage.

The vanguard of the Hou Wei army, Qi Ashu, led 3,000 men and horses to the front of the Tang army camp.

He looked at the Tang army's camp for a while and couldn't help but smile and said to the left and right: "The battle during the day really made the Tang army tired. ”

A bystander asked, "How does the general know?" ”

Qi Ashu said: "The Tang army is strictly disciplined, where the camp is in the center of the general, the right front army, the right side of the right side of the army, the right side of the Hou army, the left Yu Hou army, the left side of the left side of the army and the left side of the rear army are outside, the big array packs the small array, the big camp packs the small battalion, like the flower of the six." ”

"Not only that, each battalion is lengthened by length, the number of horizontal columns, the depth of the trenches, and the location of the camp gate have rules, but you see that this military camp is scattered, how can it conform to the rules."

The general on the side listened and said with a look of admiration: "Military master, you have been a general of the Han people in the past few years, and it seems that you have learned a lot of skills." ”

Beggar Ashu said: "What are you talking about, I have now joined the army, so don't call me the master anymore." Sue sù brethren to break the camp with me! The men and horses of the Tun Guard will attack from the other side and cooperate with our army's attack! ”

After speaking, Qi Ashu took his 3,000 cavalry to the camp.

The cavalry of this army was originally the elite cavalry of the Xi Division, and after being incorporated into the Hou Wei Army, they were strictly drilled, and the equipment was also replaced, which not only had the rigor of the Han army's operations, but also the fierceness of the army's operations.

The choice of Qi Ashu was a poorly arranged Tang army camp, which suddenly entered from the position. The Tang Army's camp was really sloppy, and even antlers and thistles were not placed when they went down to the village. The trench was not dug to a width of one zhang and two according to the standard, and the cavalry of the Fan Army easily crossed the trench and broke through the fragile barracks into the Tang army camp.

Under the night attack, the Tang army had no defense, and the cavalry of the Fan army of Qi Ashu carried knives and slashed in the Tang army camp, and the Tang soldiers ran around like headless flies, crying and shouting with their clothes and pants. (To be continued......)
