Chapter 479: The number of Tang Qi is not yet over
"Ye Chang has always been passed on to the world in the name of cherishing the people, and today I will uncover his face."
Seeing that the people who were being forced were getting closer and closer to the city pass, Cui Qianyou was quite proud.
In his opinion, Ye Chang's troops are insufficient, and if he is restrained in the war, it is better to retreat directly, and he can still save some of his strength.
Otherwise, these people must be dealt with first. In this way, his reputation for cherishing the people for more than ten years will be damaged.
Cui Qianyou had no intention of defeating Ye Chang in one attack, as long as he could inflict blows and losses on Ye Chang, he would be willing.
He also considered that Ye Chang would use grenades at the beginning to make these people who were forced forward to panic, so that he would gain more: his subordinates were already accustomed to the loud sound of gunpowder weapons, so they would not follow the people into chaos, and the people would not be able to escape far, so he would organize again to continue to consume Ye Chang's grenades.
The wishful thinking was quite loud, but just when Ye Chang was about to launch, an unexpected thing happened.
It was not only unexpected by Cui Qianyou, but also outside of Ye Chang's plan.
Those people were forced to rush to Taihe Pass, crying all the way, and no one dared to resist, so Cui Qianyou also despised it.
However, seeing that Taihe Guancheng was in front of him, a middle-aged man among the people cried out in grief: "We are good people, who have been favored by the Son of Heaven and Ye Gong for many years, and today we are persecuted by thieves and want to harm the Son of Heaven and Ye Gonghu? Harm the Son of Heaven and Ye Gong, should die, and after death will be infamy, how to kill a thief and die, thousands of years, have to record history, under the nine springs, can be feasted! ”
He raised his arms and shouted, and the people around him were suddenly confused, and then someone said: "What is said is extremely true, death is death, death at the hands of thieves, and live up to the name of martyrs!" ”
In the land of Guanlong, the people were already strong, and after these two shouted, the people turned around one after another, crying loudly, and pounced on the rebels who drove them behind them. Although they were tied together by ropes for the traitors, these thousands of people all turned around, even if they were killed, they would kill for a while, and they were not afraid of death now, even if they exchanged three or four lives, they would kill a rebel!
In the blink of an eye, there was a river of blood on the battlefield, both those of the civilians who were driven and those of the rebels!
Even the rebels are brutal by nature, and most of them are **** people who are almost hairy and blood-drinking, and they can't help but be stunned at this time, stunned by the fierce spirit displayed by these people.
Ye Chang was also stunned above the city pass.
"Kill the thief!"
"Your Majesty, we are loyal and good people of the Tang Dynasty, and we will never be used by thieves!"
"Officers and soldiers should avenge us!"
"Good thief, die!"
Countless cries echoed over the battlefield, as if countless souls were surrounding in mid-air, and these voices reached Ye Chang's ears, making his heart palpitate, his expression solemn, and awe-inspiring.
This strong spirit also made him understand in his heart that Datang is still Datang after all. Although Li Longji has been a non-human for more than ten years, he has tossed Datang hard, but in the people's eyes and in the minds of the people, they are still proud of Datang and do not hesitate to die for Datang.
"Since the people have Datang in their hearts, Datang can't abandon the people and ignore it." Ye Chang came back to his senses and said loudly: "Raise the battle flag and send a signal!" ”
Cui Qianyou was also shocked by the heroic actions of the people, his face turned pale with fright, and after a while, he reluctantly smiled: "It's just some ghosts who send death...... It's really annoying to break my plan. But it doesn't matter, this place has a large population, and if you go to catch some more, I don't believe it, all the people can do the same! ”
As he said, the counterattack of these people is indeed just a death. Although they also caused casualties to some traitors who were caught off guard, when the traitors came to their senses, they had no scruples about killing, and in a matter of moments, more than a thousand people fell in pools of blood.
But when Cui Qianyou said this, he did not take into account the Tang Army in Taihe Guanzhong.
How could the Tang army sit idly by and watch the people die! How could Ye Chang sit back and watch the people die!
The continuous sound of drums shook the sky, drawing Cui Qianyou's gaze, and the battle intent soaked in the drums also slowed down the hands of the thieves who were slaughtering the people.
The city gate of Taihe Pass was opened, and several teams of Tang Army cavalry drove out, and there were more than 500 horsemen!
Seeing this situation, Cui Qianyou's mood changed from surprise to joy: "It's good, it's good, Ye Chang can't help but fight with me in the field!" ”
He has a lot of troops, Ye Chang has few soldiers, even if he has a magic weapon like a grenade, how long can he support it under the coercion of so many troops?
After the first few setbacks, Cui Qianyou already understood that as long as he was not frightened by the loud sound and fire caused by the grenades, and quickly approached the enemy army, then the role of the grenades on the battlefield would be very limited. When the two sides are in a mess, they will not use grenades to distinguish between the enemy and us, and at that time, it is only the number of manpower that determines the victory.
"Prepare to ......" He looked intently at the five hundred horsemen, and raised his hand to order the whole army to press.
However, at this moment, a guard next to him hugged his arm: "General, general!" ”
"What's wrong?" Cui Qianyou was stunned.
Then he saw countless smoke and dust rising from his north.
"General, look, look!"
Someone said in horror, Cui Qianyou turned his head again, and saw that there was also smoke and dust rising to the south.
"Suspicious soldiers...... Where could Ye Chang have so many troops? Cui Qianyou's first thought was like this. He raised the binoculars and looked in one of the directions, and then his expression changed drastically: "It's not a suspicious soldier, it's true!" ”
An Lushan tried his best to get some telescopes from Liaodong, and Cui Qianyou was his general, so naturally he also had one. This confirmation made him almost lose his soul.
He knew very well that in front of Ye Chang, the only thing worth relying on was nothing more than the advantage of troops, and now on both the north and south, there were brigades of Tang Army, which meant that his only advantage was gone.
Although it is not yet possible to confirm how many Tang troops it is, in terms of scale, it is only a lot more than his more than 10,000 troops!
If someone else leads the troops, Cui Qianyou will still think about testing it, maybe these sergeants are all vulnerable, but Ye Chang leads the troops...... To be honest, Ye Chang's achievements over the years frightened him.
"The enemy is strong, general, you can't be defeated!" A staff member beside him shouted.
"Let's go, let's go!" Cui Qianyou also understood this and immediately ordered.
He turned his head first, this was not the time to save face, he knew that with his status under An Lushan, if it really fell into the hands of Ye Chang, it would be cheap to cut off his head!
"Cui thief...... You can really run! Almost the same words as what Cui Qianyou said before the war appeared in Ye Chang's mouth.
On the top of the city pass, he used a telescope to see that Cui Qianyou's Chinese army was in chaos, and then the rear formation became the front formation, leaving only some troops behind, and the main force turned its head and ran away regardless of the rebels who were still fighting with the people. Seeing this scene, Ye Chang couldn't help but sigh, and secretly sighed in his heart.
This Cui Qianyou is a quick to see the opportunity, as soon as he sees that the situation is not right, he turns around and leaves, without dragging his feet.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, Ye Gong still started earlier, if it was a little later, if he wanted to come to Wang Yang'er, he would be able to surround him, Cui Qianyou, more than 10,000 people, and he didn't leave any piece of armor!" An official next to him looked at this situation and said.
Ye Chang pointed to the more than 1,000 people who were rescued: "They are willing to die for the country, how can I sit back and watch them kill a few more thieves!" ”
"Yes, Ye Gong's lesson is that he is people-oriented, not just a lie."
Ye Chang nodded, and then ordered: "Since you know this truth, and take people to contain these people, just like our sergeants, there are wounds and injuries, and the dead are good to live and rein, don't let the strong men shed blood and tears, and chill the hearts of the world!" ”
"Yes, the lowly will do what is told!" The official saluted respectfully, and then hurried down the city pass, taking a few small officials and dozens of soldiers and military doctors with him to contain the people. After a while, the bewildered people realized that they had saved their lives, and when they followed the official back to the city, they all bowed down to the city.
Ye Chang was also in the city, and said loudly: "I am in a safe place, I see your heroic deeds, when I worship you, I have the matter of national heroes worshipping me!" ”
When the voice reached the ears of the people, they were even more grateful.
After a while, the official went up to the city pass again, and said with a wry smile: "Ye Gong, this is troublesome." ”
"How?"
"One by one, they all asked to join the army, kill the enemy for the country, and avenge their relatives."
Ye Chang shook his head when he heard this: "No, no, without training, how can you go into battle, you tell them, their minds, Your Majesty and I have received them, but at this time it is not yet time for them to go into battle to kill the enemy, if they really want to serve the country, they can help transport the wounded with grain and grass." ”
The official nodded, but he still couldn't help but say: "If you change people, sending untrained people to the battle array is naturally self-defeating, but Ye Gong has magic skills, I look at these newly arrived road construction workers, they are soldiers, it can really be said that the array is orderly, and it is forbidden to be a long-trained veteran!" ”
Ye Chang smiled: "Hugh said this kind of words...... Get to work! ”
The official was not very happy when he saw Ye Chang, he was very indifferent to this result, and he admired it even more in his heart, but he only felt that Ye Chang had Xie An's demeanor, and he was not arrogant in winning. He didn't know that Ye Chang knew in his own heart that these road construction workers were originally semi-militarized training, and when he formed the road construction team, he emphasized discipline and drills very much, so he acted as a soldier, at least he could bluff people who didn't know the inside story.
But in fact, most of the road construction workers are still ordinary people after all, and they have never been on the battlefield, so they really let them fight with the elite of An Lushan and Cui Qianyou, and they can only rely on more to win. Even if it weren't for the veterans of Anxi, Beiting, and Jiannan as the backbone of the grassroots level, it would be difficult for them to put on a strong posture on the battlefield.
But after today's victory, this situation will change, have been on the battlefield, tasted the taste of victory, these recruits can be regarded as veterans, if they can swing weapons in this battle to kill and wound thieves, the next battle will have a little courage to face the white blade.
He turned his gaze to the battlefield again, and this battle, before it had officially begun, turned into a big rout. Taking advantage of Ye Chang's ambush and not completing the encirclement, Cui Qianyou led his main force to desperately flee back and forth. However, it was not easy for the army to turn around, although because it was launched earlier, Cui Qianyou was not completely surrounded, but about half of Cui Qianyou's troops still did not escape the encirclement. At this time, Shanzhi, Zhuo Junfu, An Yuanguang and others were leading their own troops, breaking into the enemy and rushing to kill, depending on the situation, as long as there was another moment, these surrounded rebels would completely lose their fighting spirit.
Although Cui Qianyou fled, Wang Yang'er led people to chase after him.
"Then the king is coming soon!"
Cui Qianyou was whipping his horse and galloping, and when he heard the frightened shouts of the generals behind him, he turned around and saw Wang Yang'er with more than 100 horsemen, rampaging through his defeated army. Wang Yang'er is used to fighting, hanging his tail, with the advantage of cavalry, he will rush in and kill when he has the opportunity, but if Cui Qianyou sends people to organize to break off, he will avoid a detour and chase again. After repeated repeats like this, Cui Qianyou only had less than half of his troops left, and he gnawed more than a thousand people!
"General, this can't be done, so that everyone can't escape, let people stop the king dwarf!" Someone shouted in Cui Qianyou's ear.
"Okay, there you go!" Cui Qianyou scolded angrily.
Doesn't he know that only by sending troops can he stop Wang Yang'er from continuing to pursue, but if there are fewer people sent, he can't entangle the brave Wang Yang'er at all, and if there are more people sent, then he will be swallowed up by An Yuanguang's department who followed Wang Yang'er, who is willing to bear the responsibility of breaking off the death at this time?
The general shrank his head from the scolding, and did not say anything more, but slapped his horse and ran faster.
"Ye Chang, this guy really has an unpredictable opportunity, where did he come from with so many large armies, and how did he transfer these large armies to Taihe Pass to ambush them without being discovered by my scouts?"
While escaping, Cui Qianyou was still pondering this question in his heart. For him, defeat is not terrible, what is terrible is that the opponent is inscrutable every time, every time it seems that he is exhausted, but he can always turn over a new backhand! In this battle, although he did not compete with Ye Chang head-on, it can be said that he was defeated at the touch of a button, but he already had a great fear of Ye Chang in his heart, and he only felt that he was following An Lushan and making enemies of characters like Ye Chang, which was really a great misfortune in his life.
"It's a pity that An Gong must not listen to persuasion, I will be defeated this time, if I go directly to him, I will definitely be cut off my head...... Therefore, I must not go to Chang'an! ”
After escaping for three hours, Cui Qianyou changed two horses, and the sound of chasing and killing behind him was finally inaudible, and he looked left and right, there were originally 15,000 soldiers and horses, but now there are only more than 2,000 people left, and the rest are either annihilated or lost. Seeing that he was looking at him with blank eyes on the left and right, he thought about it, but he couldn't think of how to explain in front of An Lushan, and then he was cross-hearted: "Simply, I will turn elsewhere and wait and see the success or failure - if An Gong wins, he will be overjoyed, and at most he will scold me, if he is defeated, I have some soldiers in my hands, and I can bargain with the court!" ”
Having made up his mind, he ordered the sergeant to detain a common man and ask where he was, so he turned to the northeast, deliberately not meeting with the arriving An Lushan tribe.
