After the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, Yang Yuanqing did not immediately wave his army south, but let the army rest for two days, and he was well aware of the internal strife that occurred in Chang'an.

If the Sui army pressed too hard, it would make the three brothers work together to resist the enemy, and if they loosened up a little, then their internal strife would inevitably break out, so that he would not have to take too much trouble to capture Chang'an in the end.

Yang Yuanqing is very clear about the current situation, the 100,000 troops on the northern front, the 150,000 troops on the eastern front, and the 100,000 Sui troops on the western front also broke through the Great Earthquake Pass, entered Fufeng County, and marched to Chang'an, and the 50,000 Sui army on the southern front also blocked all the southbound passages, and there will be 350,000 troops trapped in Chang'an.

At this time, the Sui army camp also left the shallow water plain, and was slowly moving south along the Jingshui River Valley, and finally stationed in a river valley wilderness about fifteen miles away from Xinping County.

At the second watch, Yang Yuanqing, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by his own soldiers, "Your Highness! Your Highness! ”

Yang Yuanqing sat up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The scouts have sent information that the Tang army in Xinping County has withdrawn to the south, and General Niu has asked His Highness if you want to gather troops?"

Yang Yuanqing got up and walked out of the big tent, only to see Niu Jinda and several scouts standing outside the tent waiting for orders, seeing Yang Yuanqing come out, Niu Jinda immediately stepped forward to report, "Your Highness, the Tang army is evacuating Xinping County, are we pursuing?" ”

Yang Yuanqing squinted at the dark night sky, and he resolutely ordered: "Immediately gather 40,000 cavalry and pursue the Tang army overnight!" ”

The order was issued, and within a quarter of an hour, 40,000 cavalry quickly assembled, and Yang Yuanqing personally led 40,000 iron cavalry, rushed out of the camp, galloped along the spacious gallop road, and galloped to the south, the earth shook, and the momentum was galloping. The thunderous sound of horses' hooves could be heard for miles.

Li Shimin led the army to leave Xinping County for forty miles and entered the wide Guanzhong Plain, at this time, several scouts rushed to the scene, terrified and reported: "Your Highness, the Sui cavalry is here!" ”

Li Shimin was taken aback, looked back to the north, and saw that the north was gray. Dust filled the air, obscuring the moonlight.

Soon, the earth began to tremble, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded in the north, and the Tang army shouted in horror, "The Sui army is coming!" ”

Li Shimin shouted: "Don't panic. Array! ”

Wielding his wolf's tooth lance, he rushed to the infantry and shouted: "Prepare the archers, press the spearmen!" ”

The Tang army hurriedly lined up in a panic, rows of archers stretched their bows and arrows, aimed at the Sui cavalry killed from the north, behind the archers, six thousand spearmen lined up in the chaos, in the night, it was always difficult to be as neat as the day.

The Sui army had already slaughtered two miles away. Yang Yuanqing looked at the swarthy Tang Army soldiers in the distance, and he felt that the other party was already in formation.

× 100 × × searched × and searched for × eight × and one × × × × of the Chinese Network

He immediately shouted: "The soldiers are divided into three ways, and the left and right flanks are attacked!" ”

In the rumbling war drums, 40,000 cavalry soldiers were divided into three routes, Yang Wei and Luo Shixin each led 10,000 cavalry to divide into left and right wings, Yang Yuanqing personally led 20,000 Chinese troops, and the three-way cavalry was like a sharp scissors, and the momentum was like a thunderbolt to the Tang soldiers.

"Shoot!" Li Xianjun shouted.

Three thousand archers shot arrows indiscriminately, and the arrows were densely fired at the Sui cavalry who rushed to kill. The cavalry of the Sui army had been killed a hundred paces away. They raised their shields and greeted the rain of arrows. Although soldiers were constantly shot by arrows and fell, the casualties could not affect the galloping horses of the Sui army.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Sui army had already killed in front of them, the archers were in confusion, turned around and ran backwards, followed by thousands of spearmen.

'Boom! There was a loud bang, screams and cries suddenly sounded, and the Sui cavalry surging like a tide slaughtered into the spear army, breaking through a flesh and blood gap dozens of zhang long, and the cavalry group killed into the spear formation, and the two armies fought together.

The 10,000 right-wing cavalry led by Luo Shixin was intercepted by Wei Chigong's 4,000 Xuanjia light cavalry, and the two most elite cavalry launched an unprecedented cavalry night battle in a wilderness.

The left wing cavalry led by Yang Wei was surrounded by archers and spear armies from the side, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides was huge, and the Sui army fought against 18,000 Tang troops with 40,000 elite cavalry, more than twice the number of the opponent, and after only half an hour, the Tang army gradually became unable to resist.

The main commander of the spearmen was Hou Junji, who was so anxious that he shouted, waved his sword and personally fought with the Sui cavalry, he was strong in martial arts, and he slashed nine cavalrymen in a row.

Hou Junji roared, swung to the back of the head of a Sui military captain, and was about to hit the enemy general in front of him, at this moment, an iron arrow shot head-on, fast as lightning, Hou Junji found that it was too late, he screamed, the iron arrow shot through his throat, Hou Junji turned over and fell off his horse, and died in the chaos.

A hundred steps away, Yang Yuanqing coldly accepted the bow and arrows, and turned his gaze to the densest place of the Tang army, with his intuition and experience, Li Shimin must be there?

Yang Yuanqing shouted loudly: "Order the three armies, those who capture Li Shimin alive will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, and the official will be promoted to the third level." ”

Under the heavy reward, the Sui army's attack became even more frenzied, as if it was a stormy wave again and again, and the Tang army finally couldn't support it, and the defeat was already there.

Li Shimin, under the escort of more than 100 personal soldiers, was also fighting with the Sui cavalry, but he had changed his iron helmet and wore a cloak, and the Sui cavalry did not recognize him as Li Shimin in the dark.

At this moment, Wei Chigong opened a bloody road, rushed to Li Shimin and shouted: "Your Highness, the army can't support it, and it is about to be defeated, so quickly kill it with your humble position." ”

"I'm not leaving!"

Li Shimin was red-eyed and shouted: "The army is here, and the army is defeated and I will die!" ”

Wei Chigong saw that Li Shimin refused to go, he was anxious, and made a gesture to more than a dozen pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers rushed up, grabbed Li Shimin's arm, and forcibly carried him to the west.

The Tang army could not withstand the powerful attack of the 40,000 Sui cavalry, and finally collapsed, and the wails resounded through the field, and the Tang soldiers fled in all directions crying and shouting in the field.

Dozens of war horses were fast, Li Shimin was pressed on the war horse by Wei Chigong, struggling to get out, at this time his tears poured out, and finally he cried bitterly, and the Tang Dynasty collapsed.

In the dark, Wei Chigong and more than 20 personal soldiers protected Li Shimin, fought their way out of the chaos, fled to the west, and soon disappeared into the darkness......

Although the imperial court repeatedly concealed it, the news of the annihilation of the army of King Qin still spread throughout Chang'an with the escape of the defeated soldiers, and there was a great chaos in Chang'an City, and the major city gates were crowded with people who wanted to flee Chang'an, but the gates of Chang'an were closed, and no one was allowed to leave the city, cutting off the hope of the people of Chang'an to leave the war.

What followed was a rush to buy all kinds of materials, and everyone knew in their hearts that once the Sui army besieged the city and formed a protracted confrontation, there would be a serious famine, and the price of grain skyrocketed overnight to a thousand dollars of rice, but despite this, the grain in various grain stores in Chang'an was snapped up in one afternoon.

Not only food, but all edible items were bought up by the frenzied people, the shops in the metropolitan and Liren cities were closed, the liquor stores were no longer open, the streets and alleys became deserted, and as soon as it was dark, Jin Wuwei began a curfew, and no one was allowed to leave the house and go to the streets.

Yanshoufang, Yang Jun stayed alone at home drinking stuffy wine, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the city today, but the city gate was closed, and he couldn't get out, so he had to return home.

Yang Yuanqing was worried about the safety of his wife and children, and he was really depressed in his heart, originally he was an important chess piece in the struggle between the King of Qin and the crown prince, but with the killing of the king of Qi, the contradiction between the prince and the king of Qin was diluted, and he also became idle, and the prince did not look for him again, and Zhang Gongjin seemed to have forgotten him.

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door outside, and Yang Jun's heart jumped violently, who would come to him at this sensitive time? He felt a little nervous, stood up and walked outside.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw a black shadow coming in over the wall, "Who is it?" Yang Jun shouted angrily.

"Big brother, it's me!"

The black shadow turned out to be his brother Yang Rong, which made Yang Jun stunned, his brother had been missing for more than a month to hide gambling debts, and he thought he had fled to Taiyuan, but he didn't expect him to be still in Chang'an.

"Where were you during this time?"

"Big brother, let's go into the house and talk about it! Something big is wrong. ”

Yang Jun nodded, and took Yang Rong into the study, he saw Yang Rong wearing a black dress, dressed as a civilian, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "The outside is so strict, how can you go to the street?" ”

Yang Rong took out a silver medal, put it on the table, and said proudly: "With this silver medal, no one will embarrass me on the road." ”

Yang Jun took the silver medal and glanced at it, and saw that the words 'King Qi Order' were engraved on it, and he was suddenly startled, "How can you have the silver medal of King Qi." ”

"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, I was recruited by the King of Qi, and I am the deputy leader of Xiaowei under him."

"What did King Qi do when he collected you?" Yang Jun was even more puzzled.

"Humph! It's not because of Yang Yuanqing, because I am Yang Yuanqing's second brother, King Qi thought I was useful and took me into his mansion, and I now know that I have entered the quagmire. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Rong took out another same silver medal and handed it to Yang Jun, and said nervously: "Big brother is about to leave the mansion, King Qi is going to do it tonight, I saw his killing list, there is the name of the eldest brother, you can hide in other places with this silver medal." ”

Yang Jun was taken aback, "You mean King Qi is going to do it tonight?" ”

Yang Rong lowered his voice and said, "Big brother may not know yet!" The saint has died, the so-called unconscious is a lie, King Qi bought the imperial doctor, concealed the truth, and has been waiting for King Qin to come back, but now that King Qin's whereabouts are unknown, King Qi will no longer wait, and will do it tonight. ”

After speaking, Yang Rong stood up, "I have to go back, if I delay for a long time, King Qi will doubt me." ”

Yang Rong left in a hurry, Yang Jun's face became extremely grim, no! He had to tell the prince about it at once.
