Chapter 864: Raising the Troops and Fighting the King (II)

Listening to Gao Xianzhi's words, the lieutenant generals trembled, their faces were solemn, and they said awe-inspiringly: "I am willing to follow the general to the death, not to make meritorious contributions, but to ask for a horse leather shroud!"

Gao Xianzhi smiled with relief, as if he didn't know the predicament he was about to face, and let out a long roar, "Okay! I have all my brothers buried on the battlefield with me, and I have no regrets in this life." It's ridiculous that Hu Er, a generation of An Lushan, even wants to seek the position of the great treasure of my Central Plains, it is really ridiculous, we will rush out and give them a lesson! Let them understand that there are good sons and daughters in my Central Plains!"

With that, he strode out of the tent.

At the same time, the soldiers at the front of the Tang army array could already see the smoke and dust raised by the horses rushing from the front. These soldiers didn't know why, and suddenly saw the dust in front of them, and they could faintly hear the neighing sound of infiltrating war horses, and they became nervous.

Soon, rumors began to appear in the barracks. Everyone rumored that this time, the commander General Gao, had already surrendered to An Lushan, and he himself had already fled with many of his subordinates, deliberately leading An Lushan's army here. Luoyang City can't be saved, and these people are just cannon fodder.

As soon as the rumors came out, the morale of the army began to slacken.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering roar from behind the array, and a tall figure appeared in front of everyone. As soon as Gao Xianzhi appeared, all the soldiers were shocked, as if they had seen hope at once, and the so-called rumors were naturally self-defeating.

Gao Xianzhi waved the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill the enemy's head." Jue is promoted to a level, and he can enjoy hundreds of acres of fertile land, and he can bless his descendants. The time has come to make meritorious contributions to the country! Even if we are on the spot of life and death today, there will certainly be a brilliant stroke about us in the history books of the day. If you don't rush now, when will you wait?"

With that, he swung his long sword and pointed it at the thickest place of dust in front of him.

"Kill!"

"In order to make meritorious contributions, in order to serve the country!"

"Kill these dogs! Kill one is enough, kill two to make money!"

The sergeants shouted loudly, and they all drew their long knives and galloped in the direction of the opposing army. Everyone's face was already covered with death. That generosity is enough to move the world.

When people have no hope, they let go of their fears. If you are not even afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of? Now these sergeants are like this, and each of them has a very simple idea. As long as you can hack a small boss to death in one place. Can have a regular knighthood. Grace for future generations is enough.

It's as if there are titles in the dust.

Behind, Gao Xianzhi looked at these soldiers with resolute faces, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. His brows were slightly furrowed, and there was an unbearable look on his forehead.

"What is the general worried about? Now the morale of the soldiers is strong, even if the enemy is slightly outnumbered by us, they are invincible, and they can support for a while. After that, they can retreat into the city and deal with them by virtue of their geographical advantages. Moreover, Luoyang City is rich in products, but there is no need to worry about grain and grass. ”

An adjutant beside him seemed to see that he was in a bad mood and asked with some curiosity.

Gao Xianzhi shook his head, sighing in his heart, but he only replied lightly: "It's nothing, I'm just a little out of breath for a while, don't worry." ”

It seems that the country has indeed been in disrepute for a long time, and these generals are full of poetry and books, but there is no place for them. Haven't you ever seen that the opponent's attack is all cavalry? 100,000 cavalry versus 50,000 infantry, where is this a slightly larger number, and it is clearly an overwhelming advantage! Moreover, we are short of food and grass, and many of our soldiers have been hungry for a long time, so how can such a force display its combat strength? What is the use of merely being imposing?

It is even more wishful thinking to retreat into Luoyang City, which is dozens of miles away from the Luoyang City Gate. If you want to hike there, you have to walk for at least an hour. Such a long time was enough for the enemy to occupy Luoyang City several times, and Gao Xianzhi felt a great pain in his heart, as if he had seen the tragic scene of Luoyang City being broken and the ten-mile city turned into scorched earth.

In such a short period of time, the roaring smoke and dust had already come to the front, and finally hit the front line of the Tang Army.

The sound of shouts of killing, the sound of horses' hooves, and the clanging of swords colliding all blended together.

Everyone is red-eyed, and at this time, either you die or I die, there is no other possibility at all.

Although the enemy on the front line had the same number of troops on both sides, the strength of the rebels could not be exploited due to the length of the battle line. It's just that in the face of the huge gap between cavalry and infantry, the Tang Army's record still seems so meager.

Under the impact of a strong fierce horse, an array of more than ten people may not be able to stop the people on the horse. The cavalry with the help of the horse's liliang swing knife is even more powerful, and the same weapon is enough to cut off the long knife in the opponent's hand.

Tang Bing fell down one by one, and many of them had their heads cut off without even snorting, turning into corpses and being trampled under the feet of horses. Some strong-willed people, even though they had already fallen, still gritted their teeth and cut off the horse's front legs with a knife, or stabbed a long knife into the belly of a war horse. In this way, the war horse can be thrown off the person on the horse's back in one fell swoop.

With such a big impact, a single fall was enough for him to die on the spot.

Gao Xianzhi watched the soldiers in front of him fall one by one, his brows jumped, the figures that fell one by one were all fresh lives! They were all the husbands and fathers of someone in the great rivers and mountains in the rear, and they were buried here like this.

"General, the front line seems to be a little unbearable, should we Mingjin withdraw our troops? The rebels have just arrived here today, and they should not dare to pursue them. If we continue to fight, our losses will be too great. ”

The adjutant next to him saw that the battle situation in front of him suddenly fell below, the so-called defeat was like a mountain, and the collapse of the front line not only suffered heavy losses, but also greatly affected the morale of the people behind, and the army in the rear was still not as morale as it was just now.

"In any case, you must not retreat and hold me back. Kill the one who reverses!" Gao Xianzhi clenched his teeth, his expression was like madness, and he exhaled heavily in his nose.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that their own skills are already exhausted, and if the so-called pursuit takes advantage of victory, if they strike a proper blow, they will not only be able to annihilate their entire army here, but will also be able to take the eastern capital Luoyang in one go. Once the Tang army was given a chance to breathe, they fled into Luoyang City, waiting for reinforcements to come, and they didn't know when they would be able to take Luoyang. The commander of the other party is An Lushan, the general of the Hu people, although his appearance is not good, but he has fought with the northwest for many years, has won many victories, and dares to raise troops to rebel, naturally he is not a fool, how can he not think of such a point?

"General, reinforcements are coming!"

Suddenly, an uplifting voice poured into his ears. Gao Xianzhi trembled, and suddenly lifted his spirits again, the light in his eyes flashed, although his voice was not loud, but it was full of excitement, "Is this really true?"

The deputy general said: "It seems to be the soldiers and horses of King Qin who were spontaneously organized in Luoyang City!"

"Good!" Gao Xianzhi exclaimed and asked, "How long will it take for them to get here?"

"They've arrived, general, look!"

Gao Xianzhi looked in the direction of the adjutant's finger, and saw that the entire array was dusty, and it was obvious that a large number of people were approaching.

"It seems that there is no endless road to heaven, but in the end it still leaves us a way to live. Gao Xianzhi looked up to the sky and sighed, and shouted loudly: "Just when the reinforcements are coming, we will take advantage of this help to kill them!"

As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling behind him was already near.

Gao Xianzhi turned his head to take a look, and was taken aback, muttering, "Why are the soldiers and horses of King Qin so small?"

Only then did he see clearly before the soldiers and horses arrived, although the momentum was extraordinary and the sky was full of dust, but there were only more than a thousand horses and horses. (To be continued......)
