Chapter 100: The Tang Army was defeated

Chapter 100

Hundreds of thousands of armies collided together, like a giant hammer of heaven and earth, making heaven and earth tremble.

Under the persistence of the outstanding heavy infantry of the Chu army, the first wave of the Tang cavalry attack was thwarted, and the subsequent infantry was unable to break through the defense line of the Chu army.

And the damage caused by the archers of the Chu army to the Tang army was even greater, and before the chariots of the Tang army approached the Chu army, the war horses and people were shot into a hornet's nest.

Seeing that he could not break through the defense line of the Chu army for a long time, Wei Chixiong was anxious.

And Du Tao on the side could only sigh helplessly.

The Chu armor of the Chu army is famous all over the world, and the general of Zhenguo once said that in the face of the Chu armor, he could not take the initiative to charge, but should attack and harass with cavalry, as long as the Chu armor soldiers acted first, they would have a chance to break the enemy.

But Du Tao didn't want to say this, because Wei Chixiong didn't listen to what he said.

It's just that watching so many soldiers sacrifice in vain, Du Tao's heart hurts!

At this moment, the Chu army suddenly changed its formation, and one after another chariots came out of the formation.

The battlefield of the Chu army was like a climbing plow hoeing in the mud, and everywhere it passed was stumps and broken arms, which simply penetrated the offensive of the Tang army.

At the same time as the chariot of the Chu army was killed, the Changge soldiers of the Chu army stepped forward, relying on the cover of the Chu armor soldiers, and constantly harvested the enemy.

Xiang Feng sat in the Chinese army and watched this scene as steadily as Mount Tai.

"It seems that this Tang Kingdom, at present, Qin Zhen is the only one who can lead troops to fight." Xiang Feng shook his head and said.

"What the general said is, but in the eyes of the last general, even Qin Zhen is by no means an opponent of adults." was complimented by the adjutant general on the side.

Xiang Feng's eyes froze, remembering the battle with Qin Zhen a few years ago.

In that battle, he had an army of 400,000 under his hands, and there were even Chu Jiashi under his banner.

But on the other hand, although the Tang army also had an army of 400,000, there were only 100,000 new troops, and the rest were stragglers and brave Tang veterans.

However, with such a huge gap, he couldn't help Qin Zhen, and the Chu army was even more dragged out of food and grass and had no choice but to retreat.

Qin Zhen's ability to command troops, even Xiang Feng couldn't help but admire, and he couldn't even figure out how Qin Zhen did it back then.

"My lord, Tang Jun seems to be exhausted." At this time, the lieutenant general reminded.

Xiang Feng came back to his senses, looked at Tang Jun, who was faintly declining, and shook his head again.

Xiang Feng suddenly asked, "Are there any traces of the Qi army around?" ”

"General Hui, I didn't find any trace of the cavalry of the Qi army." The lieutenant arched his hand.

Xiang Feng nodded slightly, and said indifferently: "Order, the cavalry on both wings will rush straight to the middle of the Tang Army from the flank, divide the battlefield, and Chu Jiashi will fully press and harvest the remnants of the Tang Army!" ”

"No!"

After the adjutant general conveyed the order, the war drums in the Chu army rang like thunder, and the herald flag continued to fly.

Seeing this scene, Du Tao's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly reminded: "General Wei Chi! The Chu army has made an action! ”

"General Ben has seen it!" Wei Chixiong shouted angrily, and then ordered loudly: "The whole army presses!" Charge straight into the enemy's mid-line! ”

Du Tao's face was full of incredulity, he didn't expect Wei Chixiong to give such an order, and now he should withdraw the army and hold on!

This is not the command ability that Wei Chixiong should have, is it really that he was provoked by Xiang Feng and lost his ability to judge?

However, it was too late to say anything at this time, and under Wei Chixiong's order, the Tang army all pressed up.

After seeing that the Tang army was all pressed up, Xiang Feng smiled disdainfully, and directly ordered to give the Tang army a way to go straight to the Chinese army.

This battle, when Xiang Feng and Yu Chixiong were talking, was already doomed.

Wei Chixiong lost in his heart, and Xiang Feng didn't even give full play to his means of commanding the troops.

In this battle, the Tang army was defeated, losing 60,000 horses and retreating to Huaicheng.

Wei Chixiong took the lead in rushing into the middle army of the Chu army, but fell into the ambush of the Chu army, and was seriously wounded and was desperately escorted out by the guards, but now he also fell into a coma.

After Du Tao took over the command, he immediately strengthened the defense of Huaicheng, which temporarily blocked the Chu army.

But this battle was the morale of the whole army was low, and the losses were extremely heavy, if there were no reinforcements, Du Tao did not know how long he could hold on.

······

In this battle, the entire Tang government and the opposition were shaken.

Huaijun is the gateway of the Tang State Mansion, once Huaicheng is lost, the door will be wide open, and the Chu army will be able to approach the Beijing division as if it were in a no-man's land.

But now that the Tang King is seriously ill and has not designated the prince to supervise the country, in the affairs of the court, there has been a situation in which the princelings and the three princes have hindered each other.

In the face of this big defeat, both factions did not expect it.

After all, before this, Wei Chixiong had already blocked the attack of the Chu army, and it would not be a problem to hold on to it in the future.

As long as Zhao State sends troops, the danger of Tang State will naturally be lifted at that time.

But I never expected it! In such a short period of time, Wei Chixiong was defeated, and it was a big defeat.

Now if you want to hold Huaicheng, you can only increase your troops, but now there are only 30,000 or 40,000 troops to reinforce Huaicheng.

More importantly, Wei Chixiong was seriously injured and could no longer lead the troops to fight.

As for Du Tao, neither of the two factions in the court thought that this person could take on this important task.

So, under the influence of Kong Wen, the princelings pushed out the Zhenguo general Qin Zhen.

At the same time, Qin Zhen also took the initiative to ask for battle.

However, the Three Princes Party opposed Qin Zhen's leading of the troops, and found all kinds of excuses.

In fact, they were worried that Qin Zhen would fall to the princelings, and then they really had no need to fight.

Therefore, Qin Zhen must not be used, let alone let Qin Zhen be allowed to contact the military power again.

However, there are no generals in the DPRK and China to command the troops, and everyone is anxious.

In the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Qin Zhen sat on the newly made recliner and leisurely drank wine and admired the flowers in the garden.

Suddenly, a young man who looked younger than Qin Yu walked over and stretched out his hand to Qin Zhen.

"Dad, I don't have any money, give me some money."

This is Qin Zhen's son Qin An, a proper loser, who knows how to ask for money from his family all day long, and he doesn't know what to do every day.

Qin Zhen glanced at Qin An, sat up and sighed.

"Don't go out in the future, stay at home."

"Huh? Dad, you're going to ground me again! Qin An's face turned bitter, and he grabbed Qin Zhen's hand and shook it.

"Dad, I haven't been in trouble lately! You can't do this, I don't want money! ”

Qin Zhen touched Qin An's head and looked at the sky and sighed helplessly.

"Child, the sky is about to change, the Qin family is no longer the Qin family that used to be in full swing, if you cause trouble again, I'm afraid the entire Qin family will be destroyed."

After Qin An heard Qin Zhen's words, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

The Qin family is about to fall! How could it be, his father is the general of Zhenguo! How could the Qin family have fallen.

Seeing his son's stunned appearance, Qin Zhen sighed in disappointment and lifted him up.

"From today on, your father will train you personally, and if your father dies, you will at least be able to protect your mother."

When Qin Zhen dragged Qin An away, a beautiful woman stood far away outside the courtyard, watching this scene with a gloomy face.
