The cause of this war was that the desolate people went south to fight the court of the Left Horde for pasture, and then snowballed until all the nations of the world were dragged into it.

No one expected that the Zuo Tent Royal Court gradually stayed out of the matter, suffered the least losses in the Great War in the Wasteland, and with the secret support of the Xiling Temple, it preserved its strong enough strength.

Tens of thousands of cavalry from the Left Tent Royal Court carried smoke and dust south into the Yan Realm, under the banner of Fengtian and Tang Dynasty, but in the eyes of many people, this was just a rather clumsy excuse.

Most people believe that after the prince of Longqing completely controlled the Zuo Tent Royal Court, he finally wanted to take advantage of the situation to seize the throne of Yan and regain those things that he thought should belong to him.

Under the suppression and invasion of the Tang Dynasty, the Yan State was poor and weak, and it was impossible to deal with this group of wolf-like cavalry, and the prince of Longqing already had many supporters within the Yan Kingdom, and the prefectures and counties ignored the wrath of the capital, and in order to preserve their own strength, they did not do anything serious to resist at all, so tens of thousands of grassland cavalry easily kept advancing south, and did not encounter a real battle until they approached the capital of Chengcheng.

The Yan army was not the opponent of the grassland cavalry at all, and the successive defeats in successive battles, coupled with the contact between the clansmen and the old generals of the prince of Longqing, became more than ten cities in the north of the capital, and surrendered one after another, with the mutiny in the north camp of the capital, no one could stop the prince of Longqing from returning to the capital after a long absence.

The night was deep, and countless torches were burning on the city wall of the capital of Yan Kingdom, shining on the city wall as if it were day, and the security was extremely tight, and no one knew that the south city gate, which should have been closed, had been quietly opened at this time.

Dozens of defenders waved their arms at the night field.

The sound of hooves gradually sounded in the night, and the moon through the clouds cast a clear light, showing the picture of the black and oppressive steppe cavalry, which was shocking and abnormal.

Chengjing City is broken.

......

......

The hooves of the steppe cavalry were wrapped in cotton cloth, but after entering the south gate, driving on the relatively narrow streets, there were too many cavalrymen, and the sound of hooves became denser, and it was impossible to hide from everyone's ears after all.

The doors of the houses on both sides of the street are closed. Some bold Yan people secretly looked at these foreign cavalry through the crack in the door, and counted them for a long time, but they didn't see the cavalry team finished.

The Yan people were shocked and frightened, and it was only then that they really felt the truth of the rumors, it turned out that the prince of Longqing had really become the master of the Left Tent Palace, how many barbarians had entered the capital tonight?

The silver mask reflected the light of the torches, making it look as if it were made of gold.

Prince Longqing glanced at the palace in the distance. There is no change in the emotion on the cheeks that are exposed outside the mask. Then he took out a map and was silent as he looked at the arming measures and plans drawn on the map.

The steppe cavalry was able to go all the way south with great ease, and easily entered the capital city. Naturally, it depends on the power of his maternal clan in the Yan Kingdom, as well as the pervasive penetration of his former subordinates into the Yan Kingdom's imperial court, but the drawing he looked at at this time. But it was not the Chengjing defense map sent by those subordinates.

This picture was drawn by himself. In the spring, before he took the cavalry of the Left Tent Court to ambush the black carriage, he had already drawn this drawing, and sent someone back to Chengjing, and now he had this drawing in his hand, which he later redrew according to his memory.

Thinking of the picture of ambushing the black carriage that day, but being ambushed by the deserted people instead, Long Qing's brows furrowed slightly. If it weren't for the loss of a lot of steppe cavalry that day, he was confident that he would have made this night a little more perfect.

However, victory is in sight, after solving the affairs of the Yan country, he will lead the army to continue to attack the Tang Dynasty, and the country of Ning Que will eventually be burned clean by his own raging fire, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Long Qing looked at Chengjing City, which was shrouded in night, and looked at the dense and complicated streets under the moonlight. The corners of his lips curled slightly, as if he was smiling with satisfaction, but he seemed to have a very complicated feeling, as if he was waiting for someone. Waiting for something to happen.

......

......

In the northwest direction of Chengjing City, there is an inconspicuous restaurant. Around the restaurant, there were nearly 100 Tang soldiers with Pu knives on their backs, as well as dozens of messengers from the Tang and Yan armies.

In the restaurant, Xian Zhilang rubbed his somewhat tired eyebrows, thought back on the strategy he had drawn up, and was sure that there should be no problem, and said to a Yan general: "I hope to cooperate smoothly." ”

The Yan general said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very grateful to Her Royal Highness the Princess for his help, but Longqing's rebellion is huge, and His Royal Highness asks the general to take care of his own safety." ”

"Longqing is ambitious and capable, and he knows how to take advantage of the situation, and after being wanted by the Xiling Temple, he can also start a new climate in the wasteland. Sin Zhilang said.

"He is now back in the Xiling Temple, with the support of the Daomen, and he is even more arrogant, but he doesn't understand a truth, if there is the support of the temple, the world is invincible, how can my Datang survive to this day?"

The Yan general said: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can feel the general's confidence at this time, he must be even more happy. ”

Xian Zhilang is the general of the Northern University of Datang Town, who was supposed to sit in Tuyang City and command the Northeast Frontier Army, which is known for its violent and powerful, who would have thought that he would appear in the capital of Yan State at this time!

Since he appeared here, his army was naturally also in the capital of Yan Kingdom.

After the end of the Wasteland War, the Tang army retreated in two ways, and the Northeast Frontier Army directly withdrew to Tuyang City on the surface, but no one knew that the Northeast Frontier Army quietly sneaked into the Yan Realm again and came to Chengjing City to set up an ambush.

Yan Guo was so powerless against the low resistance of the grassland cavalry, he indulged the other party all the way south, and watched them enter Chengjing City, all for this killing situation hidden in the dark night!

This is the great gift prepared by Prince Chongming for his younger brother who has returned from afar, and this is also the fundamental reason why Li Yuming knows that the situation in the Eastern Wilderness has changed, but he is still full of confidence.

Xian Zhilang walked to the railing of the restaurant, looked at the south of the city, and looked at the sky, which was getting brighter and brighter, as if he heard the hooves of those steppe cavalry.

Longqing led the army south, and he was determined to win the throne of Yan, but Chang'an City was willing to be succeeded by Prince Chongming to the throne of Yan, and regardless of the old friendship between Her Royal Highness the Princess and Prince Chongming, it was only said that for the interests of Tang State itself, it was impossible for Longqing to change the situation of Yan so easily.

Xian Zhilang thought about the news from Chang'an City and the information from Gushan County, and his face gradually became solemn.

He did not ambush all his army in Chengjing City, and there were only more than 4,000 Xuanjia heavy cavalry in the city tonight. But it is already the most powerful force in Tuyang City, the decisive force.

He didn't think that those grassland cavalry who only had the art of archery could confront the invincible heavy cavalry charge of the Tang Dynasty on the flat street, but his spirit was still a little nervous.

It has nothing to do with Yanguo, only Chang'an.

The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the undercurrents in Chang'an City were surging, and the borders were hiding murderous opportunities, whether it was for the stability of the government or the safety of the empire. This battle must be fought.

This is the battle of Dingding of the New Tang Dynasty.

We must win. And it has to be a complete victory.

......

......

There is a palace in the northeast of Chengjing City, and the former owner of the palace was the prince of Longqing, although it has been abandoned for many years. But you can still see the remnants of the luxury and delicacy of the past.

Everyone knows what the goal of Prince Longqing to lead his army south is, and the safest palace has now become the most dangerous place. So Prince Chongming left the palace early.

He brought his loyal subordinates and several generals to this palace, and then locked himself in the palace study and stayed alone for a long time.

Prince Chongming looked at the dusty books on the shelves, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, he held the picture of Longqing reading and literacy, and a nostalgic smile appeared on his face.

Then he calmed down and walked out of the study.

"The Espionage Department is still counting the number of brute cavalry entering the city, and it has not yet been fully calculated. But compared to the number when they entered, there was a big gap, and the barbarian cavalry had now arrived at the Jiaofang Division, not far from the palace. ”

He was reported by an official.

Prince Chongming said, "Is there any news from the restaurant?"

A subordinate reported back: "Tang Qi has not moved, and is waiting for the fireworks to be announced." ”

"It seems that the initial sacrifice is always inevitable. ”

Prince Chongming said, "Then light the fireworks and inform everyone in the city." ”

Soon after his voice fell, a brilliant fireworks. The official office across the street went straight to the night dome, and this fireworks flew so high that it seemed to touch the bright moon, and I believe everyone in the city could see it.

Prince Chongming watched the fireworks that gradually disappeared into the moonlight, and was silent for a long time. Suddenly said: "The Tang Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry is known as invincible in the world and has never been defeated?"

......

......

Heavy cavalry is the most terrifying combat force in the field. Even a strong cultivator can't resist at all, but there is no such thing as perfection in the world, and heavy cavalry has its weaknesses.

The armored cavalry was too heavy to run long distances, and due to the influence of armor, it was not as flexible as the light cavalry in narrow areas, which was the most obvious weakness of the heavy cavalry.

The biggest problem is that the maintenance cost of heavy riding is really staggering. A heavy cavalry needs to be equipped with a large number of auxiliary soldiers, the consumption is extremely terrible, in today's world, except for the Tang State and the Xiling Temple, there is no country that has the ability to organize a formation of heavy cavalry.

But the heavy cavalry is called a battlefield heavy weapon, which naturally has its reason, and this kind of cavalry, which has been given the mission of charging and charging again since the day of its birth, is the nightmare of countless enemies.

The streets of the capital city of Yan are long and dense, and logically speaking, it is not suitable for the heavy cavalry to charge in formation, but now that there is the cooperation of the local army of Yan State, the grassland light cavalry that needs more mobility and flexibility is going south with Longqing, and this kind of environment can allow the Datang heavy cavalry to give full play to its impact.

No matter from a strategic point of view, or from the point of view of specific tactical arrangements, Xian Zhilang lives up to the name of a wise general, if there is no accident, the prince of Longqing and his tens of thousands of grassland light cavalry who went south under the banner of Fengtian and Tang will become a small record in the history books and a joke on the street after tonight.

Fireworks light up the night sky.

Tang Jun near the restaurant, carrying a long Pu knife on his back, looked up at the sky, his expression was calm and confident.

Xian Zhilang looked at the fireworks and ordered softly, "Attack." ”

......

......

Longqing also saw this firework.

The corners of his lips curled higher, and he looked very satisfied.

Xian Zhilang is the most famous one of the four kings of the Tang Kingdom, and he is used to calculating people's hearts with interests, but he forgets the most important point, there are many kinds of interests themselves, and the big interests are the so-called righteousness. ”

Long Qing looked at the generals of the royal court and said: "The curtain has been opened, this is the first battle of the world's war against the Tang Dynasty, Haotian is watching us, so let's kill all these proud Tang people." ”

After saying this, he lightly lifted the reins of his horse, took more than a dozen fallen generals, and drove into a quiet alley on the side of the street, he wanted to do the most important thing, that is, to cut off the back road of the Tang people.

......

......

The palace of Yanguo is particularly beautiful at night, under the eaves is a mountain full of autumn trees, which are illuminated by the moonlight with a cold and poignant color, like a fairyland.

Looking at this beautiful scene in the distance, imagining the joy of rushing into the palace and plundering the palace maids, the eyes of the steppe cavalry became red, and when the general gave an order, only the sound of whistles was heard.

The cavalrymen drew their scimitars and swung them forward, pinching their horses' bellies.

Hundreds of steppe cavalry rushed through the long street in turn, and then fell one after another, more than a dozen stumbling ropes, like poisonous snakes, tearing countless horses' legs. The Yan army, who had been lying in ambush on both sides of the long street for a long time, began to shoot arrows, and the arrows rained down, but in a few moments, the cavalry screamed and died.

There was no end to the battle from the beginning, and almost at the same time, the entire city of Chengcheng resounded with the sounds of fighting and screams, blood smearing the night, and severed limbs flying in the moonlight.

"There should be no problem. ”

In the big straight road on the side of the Yan Palace, there was not a single torch, and no sound could be heard, and the moonlight that leaked through the trees fell on the body of the heavily armored Tang Qi, making the armor of people and horses glow with cold light.

This is the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry Battalion of the Northeast Frontier Army of the Tang Dynasty.

The general of the heavy cavalry battalion pulled down his armor, slowly drew out his straight knife, pointed obliquely at the night in front of him, pointed to the long street with a murderous sound, and shouted in a deep voice: "Run over!"

The horse's hooves gradually moved, and the heavy horsemen of the heavy armor stepped on the hard ground, as they had done for countless years, and the charge began again, and the earth began to tremble.

The whole city began to shake.

......

......

This fatal ambush arranged for Longqing and the steppe cavalry, every detail has been carefully arranged and designed, and the cooperation of the Tang army and the Yan army has been practiced many times, and it is very skillful.

When the Tang Xuanjia heavy cavalry rushed out of the straight road on the side of the palace like an iron stream, the Yan army, which was struggling to support under the archway behind the straight road, gave way as quickly as possible.

The grassland cavalry of the Left Tent Royal Court was wielding scimitars, looking around for the Yan army that was still alive, and suddenly felt the shaking of the earth, and was stunned to find that the mounts under them became inexplicably uneasy, and subconsciously looked to the north, and then they saw those Tang cavalry who were all black.

"Tang people!"

"There are Tang people!"

"Retreat!"

The Tang Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry simply ignored the exclamations of the grassland cavalry, maintained the most perfect speed, and continued to charge towards the long street with a terrifying momentum, and the grass gradually faded everywhere it passed.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
