Chapter 80: Capturing Li Longji Alive

In June of the 14th year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty (755), before the Yellow River entered the summer flood, An Lushan finally ushered in a long-awaited good news, and the Tang army finally attacked from Tongguan.

What made An Lushan even more overjoyed was that Li Longji actually drove the expedition in person.

After learning the news, An Lushan was so happy that he looked up to the sky and laughed, God bless Dayan.

At that moment, An Lushan lit up all the main forces of the rebels and slaughtered Benshaanzhou.

Approaching the vicinity of Xindian in Shaanzhou, the rebels and the Tang army met head-on, and the forward troops of both sides fought a skirmish, each suffering casualties, and then retreated to camp.

After a short rest, the Don army took the lead in attacking the rebels.

In order to win this decisive battle, the Tang army was the elite to the fullest, 80,000 Tang troops from Jiannan, Shannan, Longyou and Hexi were deployed in the center, the left flank was 40,000 Hui cavalry from afar, and the right flank was 30,000 foot cavalry from Dangxiang, Miyao, Qiang and other vassal states, with a total strength of more than 150,000, and all of them were soldiers.

Yes, these 150,000 horses are all soldiers.

However, the rebels on the opposite side of An Lushan were even more outnumbered.

In addition to the feudal soldiers of Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong towns, there were also Khitan, Xi, Murowei and other servant cavalry, in addition to the rebels from various states gathered on the way south, totaling more than 200,000 people.

Moreover, the rebels are lined up in the mountains, occupying the advantage of the terrain.

Before the war, An Lushan offered to "talk" with Li Longji.

Li Longji also had this intention, and at that moment the two of them took their own "imperial chariots", each of them only brought two personal entourage, one was responsible for driving, and the other was responsible for playing Huangluo umbrellas, after all, the June sun was quite poisonous.

At this meeting, Li Longji and An Lushan both had their own calculations.

Li Longji wanted to make one last effort to see if he could recruit An Lushan.

An Lushan wanted to be angry with Li Longji, so that the Tang army would break his strength before fighting.

So after meeting, the two of them also talked their own words, and they couldn't pee in the same pot at all.

"An Lushan, I know that you don't want to rebel, you are limited to me for listening to Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong's greedy words, and preventing you from entering the political hall, so you raised troops to clear the king's side, and then was coerced by your soldiers to become the emperor, right? I am not a small person, as long as you can get lost, I can not blame the past, even if you once usurped the emperor, I can also forgive you without sin, this is your only chance. ”

"Li Longji, why don't you see Yang Taizhen? She didn't come with you? ”

"An Lushan, don't want to talk to me, I'm talking to you about business."

"Li Longji, what I said to you is also serious, do you know why I didn't make a queen?"

"An Lushan, as long as you get off the car and surrender now, I can act as if nothing has happened."

"Li Longji, do you know how it was like when I met Mrs. Yang for the first time? My feeling is, the Japanese thief, God is really blind, let you sleep with such an old beetle Yang Taizhen. ”

"An Lushan, I don't want to talk to you today."

"Li Longji, in fact, I have long wanted to sleep with Yang Taizhen."

In the end, it was Li Longji who broke the defense first, because Mrs. Yang was really his confiner.

"An Lushan, you Sogdian slave!" Li Longji said angrily, "Mrs. Yang is really your stepmother!" ”

"Hahaha, what's the matter with my stepmother? We Hu people have never cared about these red tapes. An Lushan laughed and said, "As long as it is not my mother-in-law, or the daughter-in-law I gave birth, all women in the world can sleep with it!" Yang Taizhen, I An Lushan must sleep, and I want her to be my queen and let her give birth to a bunch of princes for me......"

"Shut up, stop with me!" Li Longji became more and more furious, "You are not allowed to blaspheme Yang Taizhen!" ”

"Blasphemy?" An Lushan said suddenly, "What is blasphemy for me, you old pig and dog occupy a young woman like Yang Taizhen but let her stay alone every day, that is really blasphemy, if I marry Yang Taizhen, I will sleep day and night, let her really enjoy what women should enjoy, that is really good for her......"

Li Longji was already weak in his spleen and easy to get angry, and when he heard An Lushan insulting Yang Taizhen with such obscene words, he suddenly became angry, yelled at the thief, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.

Gao Lishi, who was holding a yellow Luo umbrella next to him, hurriedly signaled the driver to turn around.

An Lushan didn't chase after him, but just shouted at the Tang Army's big array: "Li Longji is dead, hahahaha, Li Longji is dead, hahahahaha!" ”

Then the rebels shouted.

The morale of the Tang army on the opposite side suddenly withered at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Although the saint may not have died, but the blood vomited by An Lushan was witnessed by more than 100,000 people, not to mention anything else, it was just the first meeting between the two coaches, and it was indeed Datang who lost.

Although news came out later, the saint was fine.

But the morale of the Don army never returned to its heyday.

It stands to reason that this is no longer suitable for a decisive battle.

The most sensible choice is to withdraw first, and then fight a decisive battle with the rebels at a later date.

However, Li Longji decisively rejected this proposal, firstly, because the Tang Dynasty could no longer afford it, and to maintain such a large army to fight, the daily amount of money and food needed was an incomparably huge amount, and secondly, he was angry, Li Longji already hated An Lushan in his heart, and vowed to take An Lushan's head today.

Guo Ziyi couldn't resist it, and ordered Fugu Huaien to take the lead in attacking the rebels.

Li Longji is still a little self-aware, although he chose to drive the expedition in person, but did not personally command the battle, but recalled Guo Ziyi from the Hebei front to Chang'an.

As for Ge Shuhan, he was left in Tongguan by Li Longji.

Saying that in order to ensure the safety of the retreat, in fact, it is disgusting.

Disliked Ge Shuhan for not wanting to make progress for more than half a year before.

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing were still selectively ignored by Li Longji.

It seems that there is no Gao and Feng in the middle of the famous general sequence of Datang.

To put it bluntly, Li Longji still felt awkward about the existence of Lu Tianshi in his heart, Feng Changqing was obviously pro-Lu Tianshi, and Gao Xianzhi had a lot of relationship with Feng Changqing, so Li Longji didn't need these two people directly.

Li Longji was even thinking about waiting for Li Siye's army to arrive in Chang'an, and he would also take away Li Siye's military power.

Although Lu Tianshi is an immortal, the immortal should not interfere too much in the affairs of the mortal world, so it is better to detach himself from the outside of the matter.

After receiving Guo Ziyi's general order, Fugu Huaien knew that he was invincible, but he still led the forward infantry to attack the rebels, and even once attacked the rebels' forward position.

However, the good times did not last long, and as the rebels on both flanks rolled back to the middle, the forward infantry of Fugu Huai'en suddenly fell into a bitter battle.

Seeing this, Guo Ziyi immediately ordered the Hui cavalry on the left flank and the vassal infantry on the right flank to attack from both flanks, and at the same time personally led the elite infantry cavalry of the three towns of Longyou Heshuo in the middle to launch a general attack on the rebels from the front.

The situation quickly changed from a tentative attack to a final showdown.

At this juncture, the two sides are not going to die.

The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty are really abundant, and the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army is also really strong.

Even if Li Longji vomited blood and caused the morale of the Tang army to be damaged, even if the Tang army was inferior in terms of the number of troops, it still did not win or lose for four hours from the morning to the afternoon.

Of course, the price paid by the Tang army and the rebels was also heavy, and the corpses of the two armies were really piled up in front of the two armies, and the blood flowed from the pestle.

Then, just when the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, An Lushan dispatched his king piece - Luluo River!

The so-called Luoluo River is the meaning of "strong man" in Turkic language, the number is not much, but it is also a lot, about 8,000 horses! But all of them were elites selected from the cavalry of the Hu servants such as Xi, Khitan, Murowei, and Yao.

Since the beginning of the war, the elite cavalry of the rebels has been hiding in the rear to recuperate.

At the end of the Shen period, when the sun had set in the west, the Tuoluo River was finally put into battle.

An Lushan's biggest impression is that it is a rebellion, but in fact, this Sogdian Hu can also be called a generation of famous generals.

An Lushan's choice of attack point for the Luoluo River was also extremely tricky, wedged directly from the middle of the Tang army and the right flank, and after quickly cutting through the Tang army's large array, he did not love to fight, but directly took Li Longji, who supervised the battle in the rear formation.

Good guy, An Lushan is going to capture Li Longji alive.

As soon as he saw this situation, Li Longji immediately panicked.

Gao Lishi immediately ordered Jin Wu to escort Li Longji and turned around and retreated.

As soon as Jin Wuwei withdrew, the Tang army, which was fighting hard, collapsed directly.
