The 264th Battle of Yecheng

The official army fought fiercely with the rebels in the land of Hebei, the Anshi rebels suffered heavy casualties and lost their generals, and the Great Yan Emperor An Qingxu saw that Shi Siming and Yin Ziqi had surrendered to the official army, and the development of the war situation was very unfavorable for the Great Yan Kingdom.

After the prince Li Heng learned of this military situation, he ordered the launch of the Yecheng Campaign, annihilating the main army of An Qingxu in one fell swoop, and annihilating the rebels in one fell swoop. I am afraid that the crown prince's throne will be difficult to preserve in the future, and once they rebel again, our prosperous Tang Dynasty will be over. Hearing Li Fuguo say this, the crown prince Li Heng felt that it made sense, and he was afraid that there would be rebels in the future, so he decided not to set up a marshal of the Chinese army, dismissed Guo Ziyi from the post of generalissimo of the whole army, and let all the people and horses fight separately, and all obeyed the command of the prison army Yu Chaoen, so he made a will to let all the ** march to Yecheng.

After Li Heng's adviser Li Mi heard about this, he strongly objected and said to the prince: "The big battle is imminent, there is no commander of the Chinese army, and there is no one to command the whole army. For the sake of his future emperor's throne, Li Heng finally did not adopt Li Mi's opinion, and stubbornly issued a holy decree, so Guo Ziyi's army, Li Guangbi's army, Fugu Huai'en army, Bai Diwu's Tianfeng army, Xue Jiajun, and Hexi Jiedu envoy Zhang Jingzhong led Zhang Haozhong, Zhang Xiaozhong, and Zhang Ruizhong's three brothers to Yecheng together, and a total of 600,000 ** launched a comprehensive encirclement and annihilation of An Qingxu's main army.

This time, An Qingxu mobilized half of the main force of the official army, in order to annihilate all the officials and troops in one fell swoop, the Beast King sent nearly 100,000 flying beast demons from the Sea Eagle Beast King, the Sky Eagle Beast King, and the Flying Eagle Beast King to help An Qingxu, and prepared all the battle preparations in this Yecheng, waiting for the officials and soldiers to kill them and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Guo Ziyi saw that the officers and troops had no cooperation with each other, and were very worried about whether this battle could be won, so he called all the commanders together to discuss a safe action plan.

An Qingxu stood on the tower of Yecheng City, looked up and looked around, and saw the dense 600,000 officers and soldiers killed, and his heart was extremely happy, so he asked the Sea Eagle Beast King to mobilize 50,000 flying beast demons to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the official army, preemptively attack, annihilate all the way, in order to show the military might of our Great Yan Kingdom, just like this, this Beast King and An Qingxu are already grasshoppers on a rope, no one can escape, in order to defeat the main force of the official army, only a desperate battle, this Sea Eagle Beast King was ordered by An Qingxu, and ordered all the people and horses to kill the official army.

This time the flying beast demon killed, so that the official army multi-way main force attack, for a while the people and horses were in a mess, the officers and soldiers were trampled to death and trampled countless injuries, and these flying beast demons observed in the air, saw the fighter plane, they flew to kill, and the resistance of the official army was disorderly, it was difficult to form a strong counterattack on the flying beast demon, fortunately, Lei Wanchun's three sons learned that An Qingxu ran to Yecheng, so they rushed all the way to the horse, and saw that the Sea Eagle Beast King was killing the officers and soldiers, and they helped in time, which made the officers and soldiers in danger, and escaped a catastrophe, to serve, and in this way, Lei Tingjin, Lei Tingfa, and Lei Tingjun joined the official army.

Because the three brothers are strong, they flew in the air, using the hammer in their hands, and the Sea Eagle Beast King was injured all over his body, which defeated the Flying Beast Demon and kept the officers and soldiers, and this battle could have been won, only because the whole army did not have a commander, so that the Flying Beast Demon succeeded, and this is just the beginning, the Beast Demon flew into the air, and entered the battle at any time, if the officers and soldiers could not obey the unified command, it would also create more opportunities for the Beast Demon, the development of the war was extremely unfavorable for the official army, and the development of the situation without a commander was extremely unfavorable, Guo Ziyi knew the problem here, so he drafted a chapter to ask the prince Li Heng to add the post of commander of the whole armyAs a result, all these recitals were intercepted by the eunuch Li Fuguo, and the crown prince Li Heng didn't know the problem here at all, only knew that he read the battle report every day, hoping to put down the rebellion one day earlier, so that he could ascend to the throne.

A tentative attack of the Sea Eagle Beast King, caused a large number of casualties among the officers and soldiers, An Qingxu stood on the city tower for comprehensive reconnaissance and surveillance, and he came out of a weakness that the officers and soldiers did not have a unified command, so he had a plan, he made the Eagle Beast King look like an official army, and went to the official army camp under the cover of night to grab grain and grass, so as to provoke a mutiny, this trick can be described as very vicious, these beast demons pretending to be officials and soldiers snatched food everywhere, so that the officers and soldiers began to be suspicious of each other, and could not work together to resist the enemy, and then An Qingxu let the Flying Eagle Beast King personally command 50,000 flying beast demons to attack Zhang Jingzhong's army, as a result, as soon as this battle started, the rest of the officers and soldiers did not care about him, just to protect yourself. Zhang Jingzhong and his brother Zhang Haozhong, Zhang Xiaozhong, Zhang Ruizhong fought to the death, after several battles Zhang Xiaozhong and Zhang Haozhong died for the country, the big battle is imminent, the first general, Zhang Jingzhong Marshal lost two brothers, his heart was grief-stricken, he swore to kill into Yecheng to avenge the two virtuous brothers, he and his brother Zhang Ruizhong personally commanded an army of 100,000 to Yecheng to launch a comprehensive attack, the battle was extremely tragic.

Li Guangbi saw that no one in the official army could command the battle, so he asked Guo Ziyi to come forward to take charge of the handsome seal, but this Yu Chaoen was extremely opposed, claiming that Li Guangbi wanted to rebel and failed, and then asked the little eunuch Cheng Yuanzhen to monitor Li Guangbi for me, and found that he had bad intentions, and immediately reported back. This Li Guangbi's repeated petitions were stopped by Yu Chaoen, and the hated Li Guangbi really wanted to kill Yu Chaoen, and these circumstances were all told to Yu Chaoen by Cheng Yuanzhen, and the grievances between the two have since ended, in the face of this battle of Yecheng, a good time, the morale of the officers and soldiers is low, Guo Ziyi saw that if this battle is not fought, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life are afraid that there will be misunderstandings, and once they are used by the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable, so he summoned all the commanders to act together, from the southeast, northwest and northwest gates, to Yecheng at the same time to launch a comprehensive attack, so the Yecheng battle began。

An Qingxu because of the help of this flying beast demon, they came and went without a trace, which made the official army attack the city extremely unsmooth, fortunately, there are many high-ranking disciples of the immortal family among the official army, they formed an army with the help of the heavenly generals Bailing Great Sage and Snow Spirit Great Sage, and specialized in resisting the attack and sneak attack of the flying beast demon, which made the Sea Eagle Beast King, the Flying Eagle Beast King, The Eagle Beast King's actions were blocked, the soldiers were lost, and for a while, An Qingxu faced the siege of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, and had no countermeasures, and made difficulties, so he pinned his hopes on Shi Siming, hoping that he could join hands to help each other fight the world again from the Fanyang cavalry, so he asked the Flying Eagle Beast King to send a letter to Shi Siming, describing his heartfelt feelings.

This Shi Siming has been unhappy since he was forced to descend to the Tang Dynasty, Li Heng has planted a lot of spies around him, which makes him extremely inconvenient, as the so-called cold lips and teeth, he knows that if An Qing continues to fail, Li Heng will not leave his own way alive, seeing that the main forces of the official army are all gathered in the Yecheng area, and finally decided to personally command the 200,000 troops to help An Qingxu break through, so the army set off from Fanyang and marched to Yecheng, the army killed all the way to Weizhou City, Cui Guangyuan, the general of the official army guarding Weizhou City, saw Shi Siming sentence Tang again, and the main army went out of the city to meet the battle, and met Li Guiren, and the two fought together for hundreds of roundsIn the end, Cui Guangyuan was beheaded by Li Guiren. In this way, Shi Siming conquered Weizhou City in one fell swoop, and then watched the development of the two armies.

After the Weizhou City was captured by Shi Siming, it directly affected the operation of the official army's grain and grass, Li Guangbi saw that the fighter plane was unfavorable, so he asked Yu Chaoen for his life to recapture Weizhou City, but Yu Chaoen did not understand military affairs at all, and categorically refused, so that Shi Siming cut off the official army's grain and grass, at this time Yecheng had been besieged for four months, and the soldiers were demoralized and had no fighting spirit.

An Qingxu soon learned that Shi Siming was joining hands with him again, and he was extremely happy in his heart, so he formulated a careful strategy to break the enemy, he asked Shi Siming to attack him unprepared to launch a sneak attack behind the official army, and then let the Sea Eagle Beast King, the Flying Eagle Beast King, and the Sky Eagle Beast King jointly perform the demon method to roll up the wind, so that the enemy army could not open his eyes, and the rebels seized the fighter plane to attack on all fronts, annihilating the official army in one fell swoop. Wu Tianfeng's main force fought hard, and the two sides fought inextricably and suffered heavy casualties, and the northwest wind suddenly hung in Yecheng, which made the soldiers of the flying sand all unable to open their eyes, and the horses were frightened, and finally the soldiers of Guo Ziyi's regiment began to rout, and then all the officers and soldiers began to avoid the wind and rout, and for a while, hundreds of thousands of troops were in chaos. The main force of the Sea Eagle Beast King, the whole line pursued and killed Guo Ziyi's corps, the two sides launched a fierce fight, just when Guo Dashuai was about to be captured by the Beast King, the world-famous Tangshan Army arrived in time, Master Huaizhi helped the Tangshan Army all the way to subdue demons and eliminate demons, which delayed the trip, Xuantong Six Ears, Golden Silk King Monkey, Golden Lion Dragon Monkey, Tianlong Monkey One by one has high mana, exerted his ability, fought to the death, and finally came down Guo Ziyi Dashuai.

The Sky Eagle Beast King, the Sea Eagle Beast King, and the Flying Eagle Beast King were unwilling to fail, and they showed their skills, fought to the death, fought hundreds of rounds with these masters, and were finally accepted into the purple gold bottle by Master Huaizhi, and then helped Guo Ziyi to continue to besiege Yecheng, but as a result, Shi Siming had already relieved the siege of Yecheng, so that An Qingxu successfully escaped and returned to the eastern capital Luoyang, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to annihilate the enemy ended in failure because there was no commander of the whole army. Since then, the crown prince Li Heng has reappointed Guo Ziyi as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and has carried out a comprehensive counterattack against the Anshi rebels until victory.

After Zhang Haozhong and Zhang Xiaozhong sacrificed their lives for the country, the Jade Emperor thanked them for their loyalty, and canonized Zhang Haozhong as the Nine Immortals and Zhang Xiaozhong as the Yunxian Saint.
