Chapter 81: Kou Pass In
An Lushan has been watching the battle from a high vantage point.
Seeing that Li Longji's Daxu had fallen and began to retreat, An Lushan immediately realized that it must have been the Luoluo River led by An Qingxu that defeated the central headquarters of the Tang army.
At that moment, An Lushan shouted excitedly.
"Li Longji ran away!"
"The Tang army is defeated!"
The next moment, the soldiers around An Lushan also shouted.
"Li Longji ran away!"
"The Tang army is defeated!"
Then, more rebels joined the cry.
By the end, all the rebels began to cheer like a tsunami.
With the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains, the morale of the rebels was greatly boosted, while the morale of the Tang army fell to the bottom.
As a result, the Tang Army, which was supported by famous generals such as Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Fugu Huaien, collapsed in an instant, and even Guo Ziyi and them shouted loudly, they could no longer stop the decline.
"Jie Shuai, don't do big things, withdraw quickly."
Fugu Huaien ran to Guo Ziyi and persuaded: "No matter how late it is, you won't be able to leave." ”
"No, you can't withdraw!" Guo Ziyi was dumbfounded, and roared angrily, "Pass on my order, even if you die, you will also nail me to the battle formation, no retreat, no one is allowed to take half a step back, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
Fugu Huaien had no choice but to glance at Guo Yao behind Guo Ziyi.
Guo Yao secretly offended Grandpa in his heart, and then slapped Guo Ziyi on the back of the neck with a palm.
Guo Ziyi immediately snorted and shrank to the ground, and Guo Yao and Fugu Huaien hurriedly stepped forward to hold it.
Fugu Huaien looked around again and shouted: "The commander has an order, the whole army retreats, retreat......"
In fact, there is no need to give orders at all, because the Tang army has collapsed on the whole line under the onslaught of the rebels, the first to collapse is the Hui cavalry on the left flank, then the infantry cavalry of the vassal states such as Qiang, Dangxiang and Miyao on the right flank, and finally the seventy or eighty thousand elite soldiers of Longyouhe Shuo in the middle, more than 100,000 horses only hate the grandmother for having two legs, and fled westward all over the mountains.
……
Li Longji had already abandoned the car and changed horses, and fled frantically to the west surrounded by Gao Lishi and other cronies.
It is said that Li Longji's physical foundation is really good, he is already sixty-nine years old, but his physical fitness is no worse than those middle-aged martial artists in their forties and fifties, at least he will not fall off the back of a galloping horse.
Colliers is one year older than Li Longji, but his physical foundation is also excellent.
Surrounded by hundreds of Jin Wuwei, the two old men fled along the official road towards Tongguan.
It didn't take long for the rebel cavalry to catch up, and these rebel cavalry had excellent archery skills, accompanied by the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the arrows of Jin Wuwei continued to fall from their horses.
In just a moment, Jin Wuwei was left with only more than 100 horsemen.
The only good thing was that the mountain road was cramped, so the rebels couldn't make a detour from both flanks.
Otherwise, not to mention the hundreds of Jin Wuwei, even tens of thousands of Jin Wuwei would be killed.
"Father can go back to Tongguan quickly, and grandson will stop the chasing soldiers behind him!" Seeing that the rebels behind him were getting closer and closer, an imperial grandson suddenly turned back and actually launched a counter-charge against the rebels.
"King Jianning, please wait, the villain will go with you!"
With the echo of the echo, a Jin Wuwei rode his horse to follow.
"I'm willing to wait." More Kingowei Lerma followed.
In the blink of an eye, more than 50 horsemen launched a counter-charge.
Li Longji glanced back at it while running, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?" ”
Gao Lishi caught up with Li Longji on his horse and said, "The saint is the king of Jianning County." ”
"Li Qi?" Li Longji said happily, "Heavenly Master, my Li family still has a few decent descendants, and not all of them are wine bags and rice bags. ”
It's a pity that Li Qi, the imperial grandson, is afraid that he can't keep it.
Thinking of this, Li Longji felt a sigh in his heart, what a good emperor and grandson were gone.
However, the counter-charge of Li Qi and more than 50 cavalry Jin Wuwei was not without gain, and by their impact, the pursuit momentum of the rebels was immediately stopped, and Li Longji was able to calmly escape.
After Li Longji and dozens of other horsemen escaped, he ran wildly for hundreds of miles all the way to Tongguan.
However, before Li Longji could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden rain of arrows on the city.
Li Longji hurriedly reined in his horse and walked away, but he was still hit by several arrows on his body, but fortunately, it was not a big problem to wear the Mingguang armor.
But this surprise is not trivial, what is the situation? Could it be that Ge Shuhan, who was stationed in Tongguan, was in his heart, so he accepted An Lushan's solicitation? If that's the case, he'll be dead.
Gao Lishi and other henchmen are also six gods and no masters, and they are really desperate now.
Immediately afterwards, the east gate of the gate slowly opened, and the flags in the corridor of the city gate waved, and the sound of killing shook the sky, as if a cavalry was preparing to kill from the pass.
Li Longji didn't know what to do, when a shout of killing suddenly sounded on the left side.
"Cangtian, do I Li Longji really want to die here?" Li Longji couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
The current situation is that there is Tongguan blocking the road in front of him, and there are rebels chasing behind him, and as a result, there are also ambushes in the Yuanwang ditch on the left, and he Li Longji only has to jump north into the Yellow River.
Yes, if you don't want to be a rebel prisoner, you can only jump into the Yellow River.
Li Longji gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and was about to urge the horse to jump into the Yellow River, when he faintly heard a shout in his ears: "Sage! The old minister Ge Shuhan is late to save the car, a capital crime! ”
Gao Lishi was overjoyed and said: "Saint, it's not a rebel, it's the handsome Geshu Festival!" ”
When Li Longji looked at it urgently, he found that the ambush soldiers killed from the far ditch on the left side were not rebels, but the Longyou Army, but they did not play the banner of Geshuhan, but the Longyou Army and the Hebei rebels in An Lushan were still easy to distinguish, because most of the Longyou Army was wearing black hammer armor, and most of the Hebei rebels were wearing fine scale armor.
Before the rebels attacked in the pass, Ge Shuhan's Longyou Army arrived first, and then escorted Li Longji all the way back to the depths of Yuanwanggou, and the rebels chased and killed for a while before withdrawing back to Tongguan.
Obviously, the rebels did not want to risk losing Tongguan.
Li Longji followed Ge Shuhan into the depths of Yuanwanggou, and then climbed a long steep slope to Tongguanyuan, and saw the old Guancheng in the Han Dynasty, but the old Tongguan had been abandoned for many years, and the city walls had collapsed.
Entering the old Guancheng, I saw that the Longyou army with a few people was rushing to repair the city wall.
It was only at this time that Li Longji finally asked the question in his heart: "Ge Shuhan, how did you lose Tongguan?" ”
"Saint, it's the old minister's carelessness." Ge Shuhan said ashamedly, "After the sage led the army to leave, the old minister was worried about the lack of troops, so he put all the troops in front, leaving only a small number of troops behind him to guard, but he never thought that the rebels actually sent an elite army from the forbidden ditch to quietly go around behind Tongguan, and launched a surprise attack at night, so he ......"
Seeing that Li Longji showed no signs of anger, Ge Shuhan continued: "At the same time that the rebels behind him launched a sneak attack, the rebels in front of Tongguan also launched a fierce attack with all their might. ”
Li Longji sighed and said gloomily: "Brother Shuhan, your retreat saved me, but Datang, if you don't do it, you will be defeated because of your retreat, because once Tongguan is lost, the rebels can enter the pass, and now the garrison of Chang'an is extremely empty, Datang is only afraid that it will be...... I'm really going to die. ”
"Saint!" Ge Shuhan fell to his knees in fright.
This crime is too big for his brother Shuhan to really afford.
"Get up, I don't blame you for this, it's that I underestimated the enemy."
Li Longji picked up Ge Shuhan and said, "I regret it very much. ”
Li Longji really regretted it, if only he listened to Lu Tianshi's advice.
……
At the same time, An Lushan also learned that Cui Qianyou had taken Tongguan.
"Hahaha, it's a big deal!" An Lushan looked up to the sky and said with a long smile, "As soon as Tongguan passes, my hundreds of thousands of troops can enter the pass, and Chang'an will no longer be in danger!" Haha, Yang Taizhen, I'm here! ”
When the two armies were in a circle before, An Lushan did not leave Yang Taizhen in every word, but only attacked the heart.
But at this moment, An Lushan's heart really became hot, because the prosperous Chang'an City, as well as the countless beauties in Chang'an City, including Yang Taizhen, and the countless gold, silver and jewelry were beckoning to him.
"Chang'an, I'm here!" An Lushan pointed at Chang'an with a horizontal knife and looked up to the sky and snorted.
After a pause, he shouted again: "Spread the decree, after breaking Chang'an City, you will not seal the knife for ten days!" ”
The next moment, the hundreds of thousands of rebels behind An Lushan cheered like a tsunami again.
