He's coming.

Recruiting Xijing and defending Pu and Tong passes, Fang Xuan rode a white horse, wearing a crimson cloak, facing the rising sun in the sky, and came towards the Tang army.

At this critical moment of the rise and fall of history, the drums on the side of the Wei River burst out, and the sound shook the earth.

Located in the first phalanx is the Shence Army, one of the Eighth Army of Longyou, led by the military envoy Cheng Rumiao. This is a new armed force, formed by the original Longyou Jiedu envoy Ge Shuhan, and now after being called by the imperial court, they carry the mission of history, carry the sustenance of the Tang Sheji, and are the backbone of the counterinsurgency and defeat the enemy.

Now coming towards us...... Now it is the Tiancheng Army that is about to be reviewed, and it is also a benevolent and righteous army with a good style and can fight tough battles, which was reorganized after the defeat of Tongguan......

Liu Zhi, a staff officer of Jiedu, crossed his hands next to him and boasted: "Now that Chang'an can be restored, who is the one who supports the society." It's ridiculous that Li Siye relies on his old skills to eat his old book, and he is arrogantly called the first general of the Tang Dynasty, but what progress has he made since he entered the customs? Just to seek Fengxiang, after the dispersal of the pass, the turtle could not advance, passive defense and cut more than 10,000 enemies, and even provoked a group of literati to brag, saying that if you want to calm the world, you must be Hexi Li. ”

Marching Sima Li Yi also smiled and said: "There are also Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, but they have achieved some small victories in Hedong and Hebei, so they are also complacent, and they don't know what Lao Cheng is important." Today, although Fang Xiang and I have no strength to raise the crown, nor do we have the ability to pull the bow to drive the strategy, just with this white robe and the wisdom in the chest, we will send troops to Chang'an to break the enemy in one fell swoop and win this great achievement! ”

Fang Xuan shook his head with a feather fan in his hand and shook his head and said: "Hey, those who have the world in mind, how can they belittle others in order to exalt themselves, I am full of talents in the Tang Dynasty, and I will produce stars, and you and I are not Haoyue, how can we cover up the brilliance of others." Moreover, people used to be able to raise troops and travel thousands of miles to attack and win, which is what ordinary people can't do. However, this person is only obsessed with small victories and defeats and has no big pattern, and the town soldiers are his limit. You and I read the book of the sage, and we have the world in our hearts, and this battle is for the common people of the society, and it is also for the Tang Dynasty not to rely on soldiers, not to rely on strong Liang generals and to pacify the world with Confucian generals! ”

The prison army behind them couldn't help but sneer secretly, these sour rot haven't fought a battle yet, so they are so boastful, let's measure their ability first.

They came to the point platform at the end of the line, and many generals standing below were waiting. Fang Xuan turned over and dismounted, holding the festival call in his left hand and the order box in his right hand, and strode to the stage.

He turned around and knelt behind the desk, put both the Jie Zhao and the order arrow on the desk, and pulled out the arrow from the order box and said loudly: "Yang Xiwen!" ”

"Huh," General Yang Xiwen walked out of the array and replied with his crossed hands.

"I order you to lead our southern army from Yishou to Chang'an, close to Xiwei Bridge, and wait for the arrival of the Chinese army before leaving."

Yang Xiwen walked up to the point platform and took the arrow with both hands.

"Liu Yi!"

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead the Chinese army from Wugong to Xiwei Bridge and march to Chang'an!"

"Whoa!"

"Li Guangjin!"

Li Guangjin looked a little hesitant, tilted his head sideways and crossed his hands: "Yes,"

"Order you to lead the northern army from Mukden to the bridge!"

"Whoa!"

After the end of the point, Fang Xuan and many staff members acted together with the Chinese army, with the Chinese army and the northern army as the vanguard, and arrived at the temporary bridge within two days.

The rebel spies got this information in advance, and quickly rode to the forbidden garden camp where An Shouzhong was stationed to report it, and An Shouzhong hurriedly consulted with Zhang Tongru, who stayed in Xijing, and Li Guiren and Sun Xiaozhe, who were stationed in Chang'an.

"The imperial court is menacing, in addition to the 50,000 horse infantry troops, two thousand taels of chariots are also arranged."

Sun Xiaozhe played with a string of human bone beads in his right hand, and asked casually, "Chariot array?" Is this a new tactic? I can tell you, Chang'an can't be abandoned for the time being, there are still many treasures in the city that have not been scavenged, and there are still many beautiful wives and concubines of the clan who need to be sent to Luoyang. ”

Zhang Tongru said with a smile: "Where is this new tactic, it's just picking up the wisdom of the ancients, General An can rest assured that he will raise troops to fight, we have our back to Chang'an, so we naturally have to take the initiative and choose favorable terrain." As for dealing with the oxen and wagon formations, the general can prepare some more grease and wet firewood and grass for backup when the time comes. ”

"But the enemy army is menacing, and it will take some time for us to gather our troops, so I'm afraid it's too late to prepare these things."

Zhang Tongru raised his hand and said: "Why do you need to gather troops, General An can lead your own troops and horses, and I will send people to prepare these things such as firewood and grass." General Ahn, remember that we need to be entrenched in favorable terrain, at least upwind. ”

An Shouzhong immediately gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, including 5,000 Luoluohe, and obtained a large amount of dry and wet firewood and grease from Zhang Tongru, and arrived on the western slope of Chen Taoze on the bank of the Wei River along the post road in Xianyang County.

On the 21st, Fang Xuan's northern army and the Chinese army also marched together to the east of Chen Taoxian, he himself valued Liu rank very much, and once said that although the rebel cavalry was strong, how could it be able to defeat my adviser Liu Yi, and at this moment he was not ashamed to ask: "Liu joined the army, how to meet the enemy at this time?" ”

Liu Yi, as a military enthusiast, also has some insight, and said to Fang Xuan: "The terrain that our army occupies now is wide and flat, and the enemy army is in the favorable terrain of Chen Tao's oblique upwind, so it is not appropriate to go further, we should defend on the spot, and wait for the arrival of the southern army before making a decision." ”

But Xing Yanen, the envoy of the prison army, was unwilling to wait, and his hands were tied in his sleeves and urged: "Fang Xiang, don't delay any longer, do you know how much grain and grass these 50,000 troops need a day here?" The rebels want to take advantage of the terrain, and you want to take advantage of the terrain, so there is no need to fight this battle. The rebels have five or six standing positions of hundreds of thousands of stone grain with their backs to Chang'an, and we only have much grain, and they can afford to delay, but we can't afford to delay. ”

Fang Xuan still wanted to wait, but Xing Yanen urged him repeatedly, so he had to wave the flag and shout: "Set up a formation!" On the way to the enemy! ”

It took some effort for the two thousand chariots to swing away, because the cattle were not as obedient as men, and the drivers kept scolding and whipping them away. Their strong enemy rebels are not as disciplined as the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period, and they have already prepared a strategy to deal with them.

The Tang army began to march towards Chen Tao diagonally in unison, the royal men waved their whips to drive the oxen and horses chariots on the plain to press out deep ruts and smoke and dust, the body was sparkling, the war horses were Xiao Xiao, like the Great Wall of steel in the march, and the crimson banners were waving with the autumn wind. In the face of such a situation, Fang Xuan was arrogant, as if he was in an ancient battlefield two thousand years ago, and he was the commander of the high-spirited Qin army.

He opened his mouth and groaned: "The war horse neighs to meet the enemy!" The autumn wind is bleak and the long slope is fighting! The car drove and stepped on Chang'an, and Jun Enze was calmed by the world! ”

The staff praised one after another: "Good words! Good words! It's the right time! ”

At this time, the autumn wind suddenly became much stronger, and the dust raised by the chariot swept back, blowing Fang Xuan's eyes. He hurriedly rubbed his eyelids, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart, but it was fleeting, like inspiration, and he could no longer grasp it.

The infantry formation followed closely behind the chariot, which could not only dodge the enemy's arrows, but also rely on the chariot formation to return fire, which already had the flavor of tank warfare in the European theater, but unfortunately the power of the chariot was a living creature that ate grass.

An Shouzhong placed the cavalry behind the infantry formation for the first time, and the Yan army wearing felt hats and iron armor waited for the battle, with eyes like wolves and jackals. The front row of soldiers held shovels in their hands, the second row of soldiers held firewood in their arms, and An Shouzhong held the command flag in his hand and looked at the array of enemy chariots that were getting closer and closer.

He quickly waved the command flag: "Dust!" ”

The first row of 1,000 soldiers waved shovels to lift the dry soil in front of them into the air, and in an instant Chen Tao's sloping long slope seemed to roll up a sandstorm, driving cattle and horses or mooing and neighing, but the riders waved their whips and commanded calmly to calm the violent temper of the livestock.

An Shouzhong waved the flag again: "Ignition!" ”

The second platoon of soldiers stepped forward and poured the wet and dry firewood in their arms on grease and lit it, and the rising white smoke accompanied by the black smoke of grease rolled on the horizon like a dragon, and the smoke spread downwind along a line, enveloping the Tang army in thick smoke.

"Cavalry attack!"

Holding flammable pine and dry firewood in his arms, he covered his horse's face with a damp cloth and charged forward from both sides, and when he approached the enemy's chariot, he quickly ignited and threw it in front of the oxen and horses, and then quickly turned around and turned back.

The smoke and smoke choked the cows and horses with tears, and even the soldiers behind them could not bear it, covering their mouths and noses and coughing repeatedly, and at this moment the flames were burning in front of them, and the burning pain made the cattle who could not know the direction turn their bodies by instinct, pull the chariot and turn around and rush over without a head.

Oxen and wagons were tumbling against each other, and the wheels were intertwined and rushed towards the soldiers in the rear! The infantry could not dodge when they were knocked down by the running ox carts, and the wheels jolted and crushed over them. The Tang Army's camp, which had just been in order, suddenly became a mess.

Fang Xuan rode a white horse in front of the big scroll that rolled in the back, his mentality collapsed in an instant, and he opened his throat and roared bitterly: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! Hide from the car! It's all over! ”
