The 20,000 Shuo Fang army was almost defeated under the blow of the Luoluo River cavalry, Guo Ziyi hurriedly organized a formation and shouted loudly: "Don't mess up! Don't mess around, there are only 3,000 of them!"

However, these 3,000 dragged rivers were as powerful as mad tigers, and they organized a sharp and arrow formation just to feign an attack, which was enough to make the approaching enemy troops retreat. The cavalry under Guo Ziyi's command was not an opponent, and they were beaten to the point of being powerless.

He was so anxious that he immediately scolded: "Li Siye, you are really a cheater!" Throw me such a hot potato! Could it be that I am 20,000 Shuofang elites, and I can't even do anything about 3,000 Hu Qi!"

The Falling River cavalry was also in danger, they went through several battles without resting, and ran hundreds of miles in succession, both men and horses were extremely tired, all relying on the desire to survive and a strong breath.

However, An Shouzhong made a decision-making mistake, he mistakenly thought that the Shuofang army still had strong combat effectiveness, and it was difficult to destroy it for a while, but he was almost unable to hold on. At this moment, the defense of the Pujin ferry port is empty, so it is better to rush over and grab the boat to anchor to the opposite bank and go downstream.

"Let's go, occupy the ferry and grab the boat!"

The three thousand Luoluo River raised a thousand flags and ran in the direction of the ferry, and the Tang soldiers stationed at the ferry retreated to the earthen fort one after another, holding bows and arrows to return fire at the female wall battlement.

After the Draglox cavalry rushed into the empty camp, they did not have a solid victory and took the fortress down, which was another fatal mistake. They rushed to the river with the harassment of arrows, and abandoned their horses and climbed onto the ferry, leaving only a few to be left behind on the shore.

After Guo Ziyi regrouped, he led the army to rush to the ferry, relying on the earthen fort to form a formation, arranging thousands of crossbowmen in echelons, and throwing arrows one after another with dozens of Fuyuan crossbows. More than 100 cavalry cavalry who stayed on the shore after the break charged with arrows, but the end of such a strong crossbow could not shake the formation of the Shuofang army, and after being intercepted by the infantry soldiers, the Mo knife team swarmed up and slashed in a pool of blood, leaving only a horse corpse and a broken corpse.

Guo Ziyi was overjoyed, he didn't expect the victory to come in this way, it was all up to the other party's stupid moves, and I didn't move. He excitedly shouted, "Quick! Rack me up to the river, load it with oil arrows, and shoot it at me! ”

Are northern warriors without horses still called warriors? The Downhill Cavalry could perform a myriad of fancy maneuvers on horseback, and their hands did not need to grasp the reins of the horse, allowing them to turn, accelerate and stop. But they didn't know anything about rowing across the river.

They huddled into the boat and flicked the oars vigorously, but the boat spun in the water, and it took half a day to float only ten feet to the middle of the river.

Guo Ziyi mobilized thousands of longbowmen and crossbowmen, lined up on the bank and shot at the Yellow River, turning the river into a living target. At first, they could still use their horned bows to fight back, but once the distance was widened, the range of more than sixty paces of the horned bows was no longer enough to pose a threat, but the Shuofang troops on the shore with longbows and crossbows could continue to shoot, and many of the soldiers who dragged down the river fell into the water with several arrows in their bodies.

Even more terrifying was the Fuyuan crossbow, which could easily shoot through the ship's gang, the grease burned upwards along the hull, the soldiers kept fighting the flames, and another powerful crossbow shot at it, and it actually pierced through the two of them.

An Shouzhong sat in the middle of the boat and shouted, "Straighten the hull!" Go downstream! ”

The Yellow River passed through the Pujin Ferry at a slow rate, and he looked down at the dark yellow water, barely feeling the flow. Shuo's army continued to pursue down the shore, and finally only six ships approached the opposite shore, and the rest were either full of corpses or engulfed in flames. However, thousands of Tang troops also appeared at the ferry on the other side of Pujin Ferry, bent their longbows and shot the warriors on the boat.

An Shouzhong hurriedly ordered everyone to row to the middle of the river, so that only a few dozen Fuyuan crossbows could be obtained from them, and they kept adjusting the direction of the crossbow cart, and another ferry boat caught fire and sank after being hit by an arrow.

After passing Pujindu and going down, the speed of the Yellow River became faster, and the Shuofang soldiers chasing after the shore could no longer catch up, so they could only watch as three or four boats drifted away along the river, and finally let An Shouzhong escape.

An Shouzhong sat on the side of the ship in shock, and then looked back at the soldiers on the boat, except for the corpses were wounded soldiers, almost everyone had arrows stuck in their bodies, the armor on the chest of the captain who was out of strength was like a hedgehog, lying on the boat with his eyes closed, the sergeant with an arrow in his face turned his head out of the boat, the blood spread a layer on the plank, and the moans of pain were endless.

Eight thousand dragged down the river he took to Guanzhong 5,000, but when he returned, there were only more than 100 people left, they were the guards selected by his father-in-law from the army, presumably his old man would be furious when he found out, and he would be stripped of his skin if he didn't die.

The losses of the Shuofang army on the shore were also particularly heavy, Guo Ziyi counted the casualties at about 7,000, if it weren't for An Shouzhong's mind showing his mind and giving up the war horse to board the ship, he would have been the one who was defeated today.

The envoy sent by the imperial court rode to the ferry, and the eunuch rode on the horse and said: "Your Majesty has returned to Chang'an from Lingwu, and I have been specially ordered to pass on the message. ”

"In such a hurry?" Guo Ziyi's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Of course, rewarding heroes is a big deal, and naturally it can't be delayed for a moment."

……

After Li Siye entered Shangluo County, he quickly led his army south, and went down to the mountains on both sides of the Taohuayi in the south of Shangluo County, blocking the road to Wuguan.

Li Guiren knocked on the pass for three days in a row, and decided to withdraw to Shangluo County to collect some more grain, but who knew that Li Siye had already cut off the way back, and he was like a rat blocked in a dead end, completely cutting off the chance to escape.

He believed that there was no hope for attacking Li Siye, and that the two battles of Fengxiang County and Hosoliuyuan had fully realized the combat effectiveness of the Hexi Army, which was really too strong. The only possibility now is to quickly move south after conquering Wuguan, so that it is possible to completely leave the Tang army behind.

Wang Sili, who was guarding Wuguan, may be a soft persimmon that can be pinched, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to cut down trees near the Layer Peak Station, and then made siege ladders and battering rams, and began to attack Wuguan continuously.

Wang Sili patrolled the city wall day and night, holding a spear in his hand in the cold winter, and the frost on his armor burst down, with a sonorous sound. The rebels kept knocking day and night, and the Tang army was seriously damaged, and he looked into the distance and looked forward to it, thinking why Li Siye hadn't come yet! I can't hold on anymore.

Li Siye ordered his soldiers to strengthen the defense in the Taohuayi Soldier Village, but he was reluctant to attack. As long as Li Guiren survives for one more day, the faster he will collapse.

On the 10th day, the rebels began to slaughter horses to satisfy their hunger, and the number of soldiers was sharply reduced, and many of them were still around the campfire in the dark, but on the second day they had frozen to death.

Li Siye stood on the watchtower inside the walled wall and looked at it from afar, the rebels had built a lot of countless wooden sheds between Wuguan Road, the skeletons of horses were thrown everywhere, and the ground was full of people, and I don't know how many were dead and how many were alive.

"That's it! The cavalry went out of the village to attack Li Guiren in three ways and joined up with Wang Sili of Wuguan. ”

In these ten days of waiting, it was not only Wang Sili who was anxious, but also Zang Xiye, Duan Xiushi and others also sharpened their knives, and asked to fight several times but were not allowed. After Li Siye's order, the Flying Tiger Cavalry and the Han Navy led by them were like tigers out of the cage and rushed straight towards Li Guiren's Chinese army stationed at the Layer Peak Station.

After a short battle, the rebel general Li Guiren led his troops to surrender, but unfortunately the more than 10,000 cavalry he led, after repeated sieges and tosses, only less than 4,000 people remained. At this point, the 100,000 troops sent by An Lushan to Guanzhong have all been wiped out, and there is not a trace of water.

Li Siye put him in a prisoner car and sent someone to Chang'an.

Wang Sili's eyes were red, his face was swollen and he walked out of Wuguan City, he came to Li Siye with a fluffy bun, bowed and crossed his hands and said: "Doctor Li, if you are one step late, Wuguan will inevitably be lost, and Li Guiren will inevitably let go." ”

"Wrong, Wang Shangshu, Li Guiren is already at the end of his crossbow, you think you can't hold on, but he can't even organize a decent attack. This is how it is to fight, whoever can hold on will be able to win the final victory. Therefore, it is your credit to capture Li Guiren alive and destroy the rebel cavalry, and when we return to Chang'an, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of Your Majesty. ”

Wang Sili coughed embarrassedly: "Why does the doctor have to be like this, how dare I monopolize this work?" ”

"It doesn't matter, I have Zhang Tongru and Sun Xiaozhe in my hands, you have Li Guiren, Guo Ziyi has An Shouzhong, you and I are colleagues, and we should be equally divided."

What an equal! If Wang Sili and Guo Ziyi knew that he had won these games, they wouldn't know what it would be like to be happy.

Cheng Yuanzhen, the envoy sent by the emperor, came to Wuguan, and did not dismount after seeing the king of Xiliang County and the secretary of the military department, and proudly waved the dust and said: "Your Majesty has entered Chang'an, and ordered me to summon two people to Beijing to accept the reward." ”

Li Siye frowned, isn't it a good time to take advantage of the victory to enter Shaanxi County from Tongguan and recover Luoyang? Do you have to ask them to go back and receive a reward for their merits?

After Cheng Yuanzhen left with his entourage, the marching lord Bo Daiwang crossed his hands beside him and whispered: "If my guess is correct, the emperor summoned you to Chang'an this time, ostensibly to reward and reward, but in fact, he aimed at the military power of the three armies of Anxi in the north of Hexi in the hands of the doctor. ”
