Tian Qian really felt that the most useless time in his life was during the recent period.
More than half a lifetime has passed. It can be said that the days he spent fighting on horseback accounted for more than half of this lifetime. In the past, he had almost no defeats in the battles with the barbarians. It was precisely because he was brave in fighting and rarely suffered defeats that he was promoted all the way and had a prosperous official career. .Before following An Lushan to rebel, he had already served as the military envoy of Youzhou, rising from the rank of a third-grade general. After following An Lushan to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, he also achieved successive victories, so he won the trust and importance of An Lushan. .However, after Yang Xi, the son of Yang Guozhong, became the military envoy of Tongguan, his good luck ended.
He participated in the battle to attack Tongguan. The final result could be said to be a defeat and he was forced to retreat to Shaanxi County.
Although he later returned to Luoyang with An Qingxu and did not experience the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Shaanxi Province, bad luck continued to "favor" him. In the process of leading the army to attack Shaanxi County with Sun Xiaozhe, he encountered several attacks by the Tang army. , was beaten to a disgrace. Although he was lucky enough to escape the attack by the Tang army and was not injured, and therefore Sun Xiaozhe temporarily took charge of military affairs, but bad luck also came.
Being repeatedly attacked by elite units of the Tang Army, the troops he led suffered heavy losses and their morale was greatly affected. However, he, who was in charge of military affairs, was helpless and was reprimanded many times by An Lushan. If it weren't for the repeated efforts of Prince An Qingxu, he would have been saved. He might have been severely punished a long time ago. Sun Xiaozhe was ready to launch an army to attack Shaanxi County and no longer passively defended it. Tian Qian was really relieved and felt that he could make some achievements with his own ability and wash away the shame with some military exploits. But he never expected that just as he was preparing to set up camp, he would suddenly be attacked by the Tang army.
When tens of thousands of Tang troops quickly entered the former army camp led by him, Tian Qianzhen knew that his misfortune had only really begun now. However, he was not a person who allowed himself to be controlled by fate. After receiving a report from his sergeant, saying that When the Tang Army's troops attacked the camp, he immediately responded and prepared to lead his troops to resist. Because he had prepared for the Tang Army's attack on the camp, there were 10,000 sergeants in the former camp to deal with critical situations. These sergeants were in disarray every day. A made preparations for war, so he could mobilize quickly and go into battle. However, when he saw that the Tang army had rushed into the camp from all directions, Tian Qian knew that even if he pulled all the more than 10,000 troops up, he would not be able to resist it. Lived in the Tang army's raiding camp.
There were at least tens of thousands of Tang troops who rushed into the camp. It seemed that this time the Tang troops attacked with all their strength.
The Tang army had successfully entered the camp, and no matter how capable they were, there was nothing they could do to save the day. Tian Qianzhen, who felt that the situation was over, ordered his soldiers in vain to attack the Tang army attacking the camp. At the same time, he also sent someone to report to Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi, so that They led troops to support.
Although he ordered the soldiers to resist desperately, he himself was ready to escape. Having experienced battles for a long time, he knew that in this case, even if a resistance could be organized, the final result would still be failure. The only difference was that the Tang army It just depends on whether you lose more or less.
However, what Tian Ganzhen didn't know was that the number of Tang troops attacking them at this time had exceeded 100,000. There were at least 30,000 troops who had entered the former army camp, and the remaining troops were still rushing in. For The blow to their troops was devastating.
The Tang Army's attack was launched from multiple directions. Earth-shattering shouts of killing came from the west, north, and south directions. The Tang Army's attack was also very experienced. They were not eager to fight. They were just plundering the camp. If they encountered any enemies along the way, If the soldiers resist, they will rush and kill them with all their might. If the resisting sergeants run away, they will not pursue them. They will just rush and kill them as much as possible in the camp, causing greater chaos, making the opponent unable to organize resistance, and destroying the opponent's military morale.
"Gather the troops, we are ready to break out!" After receiving reports of the battle situation from several sergeants, Tian Ganzhen had no choice but to prepare to escape.
----------
"Reporting to the marshal, General Wang Sili's troops have entered the rebel camp and have not encountered any major resistance!"
A sergeant delivering the order rode his horse quickly to Yang Xi, who was standing on the hillside to check on the battle situation, and loudly reported the situation.
Soon another sergeant ran up on Pegasus and reported urgently: "Reporting to the marshal, the rebel front army has been defeated. Our army has not encountered any major resistance. More than 10,000 rebels have surrendered."
"Reporting to the marshal, General Pang has led his troops into the enemy's camp and is fighting fiercely with the rebels. The rebels are resisting fiercely!"
"Report to Marshal, more than 10,000 troops from Yin Ziqi's troops behind enemy lines have come to support them, and they are fighting with General Gao's troops!"
Continuous battle reports came to Yang Xi. Most of them were reports of very smooth progress. There was no large-scale resistance by the rebels. Only a small number of battle reports showed that the rebels had organized resistance. After listening to the sergeant's report, Yang Xi also immediately issued a new order, "Immediately order General Liu Guangting's troops to immediately support General Gao Shi and defeat Yin Ziqi's troops!"
"Order General Lu Chongben to rush through the Chinese army camp and attack Yin Ziqi's troops!" From the battle report sent to him, Yang Xi concluded that our army's sudden attack caused the rebels' former army Tian Qianzhen and his troops to attack. Sun Xiaozhe's troops of the Chinese Army had no chance to organize a large-scale resistance, and the progress was very smooth. Even if the rebels resisted with thousands of people, they were quickly defeated by our army. However, Gao Shi's troops who attacked Yin Ziqi encountered an unfavorable situation. The reason for the small resistance was because Yin Ziqi's troops were farthest from our army's attack direction. After learning the news, they had time to organize a resistance. Gao Shi's troops who were preparing to plunder the camp did not go very smoothly and suffered heavy casualties. Of course, he would not give Yin Ziqi's troops a chance to resist. When there was an opportunity to counterattack, Liu Guangting and Lu Chongben each led 10,000 people to support them.
At the same time, he also reported to Li Bin, who was leading the rear army, and ordered the remaining troops to speed up their march and immediately engage in the battle to attack the enemy camp.
The order was quickly passed on by the sergeant. When he saw the sergeant running back and forth on the hillside delivering the order, Yang Xi's heart slowly lifted.
Although the battle is progressing smoothly, as the sky turns dark, the progress of the battle will definitely slow down, and the speed of our army's attack will slow down. The rebels can use the cover of night to organize resistance, or they can take advantage of the confusion of night to flee, or even turn against them. One blow to counterattack our army. Yang Xi knew that Tian Qianzhen, Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi were all very capable generals in the Tang army. If he led his army to confront them head-on, even if the army was equipped with firearms, Yang Xi didn't have any confidence that he could defeat them. He relied on the suddenness of the war and launched an attack when the enemy was unprepared. If such a sudden attack could not completely defeat them, it would be difficult to fight the subsequent war.
To have such an effect, Yang Xi is really grateful to the hundreds of sergeants of the special operations team. They attacked and killed the rebel scouts, inquired about the layout of the rebel camp, etc., which greatly contributed to our army's sudden attack. The rebels dug Juma ditches and some traps in many places around the camp. With the guidance of the special operations team sergeants, most of these traps were avoided.
