Li 9zhou began to chase the rebels with the Tang army soldiers, and his speed quickly increased. The rebel soldiers had few cavalry and were almost killed when they first started fighting. At this time, the fleeing infantry were all infantry, and the infantry could not escape the cavalry. They were killed by the 4th of the Tang army cavalry that was chasing.

Li 9zhou kept chopping and slashing, and saw a big flag in front of him, with one general riding on the horse, and there were several generals riding horses around him, and immediately swept away the rebel soldiers standing in front, and soon killed them under the big flag, shouting: "Shi Chaoyi, where can you escape?"

Shi Chaoyi was shocked and looked back. Li 9zhou was rushing over with a fierce look, and immediately shouted in panic: "Stop him quickly, stop him."

While shouting, he raised the spear in his hand to block it. A cold light flashed, and a click was knocked and the gun rod was cut off.

Seeing that the main general was in trouble, the rebels rushed over one after another. Li 9zhou had no choice but to fight and retreat.

Under such circumstances, the rebels were no longer sure to defeat the Tang army. On the narrow and long road, the rebels were crowded with dense blocks and rushed to run away. If they ran a little slow, they were very likely to be captured.

In this battle, Shi Chaoyi was defeated in the northern suburbs of Luoyang, and the Tang army regained the Eastern Capital again.

The rebels suffered heavy casualties and retreated to Fanyang. The Tang army pressed forward step by step, hoping to take advantage of the situation to completely quell the rebellion.

Shi Chaoyi was naturally unwilling to sit in Fan Yang and wait for death. He did not want to be besieged by the Tang army. The purpose of leading the army to attack was to reverse the unfavorable situation.

After sorting out the troops, he led his troops north to cross the Yellow River to launch an attack.

Faced with the approaching of tens of thousands of rebels, Li 9zhou led the main force to fight.

Whoever can gain an advantage in this battle will be much easier to fight in the next battle.

Shi Chaoyi had 780,000 troops, and they were not all elite. He was 1,500 less than the Tang army in Li 9 Prefecture, and was much worse than the combat power. Shi Chaoyi knew very well about this, but even so, he had to lead his army to take the initiative. This was the only way to reverse the unfavorable situation.

Winning more with less is a record that many military generals hope for. This record can be called brilliant, but very few can really win more with less. This record will not happen generally, and it will also happen in a specific environment and time. For people like Li 9zhou, how can they give Shi Chaoyi the opportunity to win more with less?

Li 9zhou was more cautious, but he was not bound by the form of war. He sent a large-scale sentry to conduct large-scale reconnaissance within a radius of nearly 50 miles, so that the rebels could not make small moves secretly. At the same time, he ordered all the troops to be taken, and did not give the rebels a chance to defeat them one by one.

Until Shi Chaoyi approached, he did not find the right opportunity or the flaws of the Tang army. He had to bite the bullet and fight Li 9zhou head-on.

Both sides set up their formation and prepare for a decisive battle.

Above the battle formation, flags were waving, gongs and drums were clamoring, and the hopeless flags, flags, and flags were spread all over the battlefield in a radius of more than a dozen.

"Report to the commander, all our troops and horses have been prepared and can go to fight at any time!" Li Guangbi stepped onto the commander's platform and reported to Li 9zhou.

Li 9zhou did not make a sound, and kept observing the rebel army. The morning sunlight had just come out, and there was still a hint of coolness in the air.

After observing the formation, I found that there were some abnormalities in the rebel formation. The people who entered the back of the rebel formation were always moving, as if they were being painted in a scroll.

Li 9zhou frowned and asked, "There are really 780,000 rebels?"

Li Guangbi replied: "The military information we have investigated in detail will never be wrong."

"This is strange!" Li 9zhou frowned and said, looking at the rebel army again.

This time he finally discovered the situation and affirmed his speculation, and immediately said, "Get the map!"

A personal soldier immediately brought a volume of map. Li 9zhou opened the map and searched for a circle, and gave him a breath.

"There should be less than 780,000 people in the rebel formation. Shi Chaoyi might have sent a team of people to attack us." After Li 9zhou said that, he pointed to the rebel formation and said: "Look at the rebel formation, the armored horses behind him are always moving on the wooden horses, which is clearly bluffing."

Li 9zhou pointed to a place on the map and said, "If what I expected was not bad, the rebels would definitely attack from here."

Li Guangbi said in surprise: "Isn't this place within our military defense zone? Shi Chaoyi has the courage to attack here?"

Li 9zhou sighed: "We will never be tired of deceitful soldiers, and we must send a large army to intercept and defeat this group of people. Li Guangbi, you will lead 10,000 people to search east, and you will definitely defeat them."

"Receive the order!" Li Guangbi swayed his cloak and turned around and ran away, turning over and leaving.

More than 10,000 cavalry troops of the Tang army were mobilized on the right wing of the army formation, and there was a lot of noise. This was soon discovered by the rebels. A general shouted to Shi Chaoyi: "The Tang army has made any moves."

Shi Chaoyi looked at the right wing of the Tang army when he heard this. He saw that there were large-scale cavalry mobilizations on the right wing of the Tang army. The weather had just sunny and there was no dust on the ground. Shi Chaoyi could see the Tang army's mobilization clearly, but these mobilized Tang army cavalry did not rush towards this side, but instead headed eastward.

When the rebel generals and cadets saw this situation, their faces changed, and some people shouted: "Oh no, this Tang army cavalry has at least more than 10,000 cavalry, and they are all elite light cavalry. They are heading east. Could it be that the team of people we sent out to attack sneak attack were discovered?"

Sweat beads emerged from Shi Chaoyi's forehead and murmured: "Impossible, it's impossible. I have arranged it so meticulously and confidentially. How did Li 9zhou find out? This is absolutely impossible."

A general next to him shouted: "The matter is already very obvious. This Tang army was heading towards our team of people. Our plan to attack must have been discovered by Li 9zhou."

At this time, the Tang army had already launched an attack. The 30,000 infantry in the central army stepped on the drums and advanced towards the rebels in neat steps. One part of these infantry was a sword and shield soldier, one hand holding a shield, one hand holding a horizontal knife, and the other part was a spearmen. After nearly a year of strict training, these soldiers had strong military qualities. The teams of each of them were extremely neat, and the distance between the soldiers was not even a slight difference. No one was absent during the process of marching. The whole thing was like a huge machine moving forward slowly.

This made the rebel soldiers discolor and their timidity arise. Such neat steps and formations are absolutely impossible without strict military discipline and strict practice. This huge momentum brings a huge psychological oppression to the rebel soldiers.

When the rebel generals and corpses saw that tens of thousands of Tang soldiers were so neatly and pushed forward like a wall, their faces changed drastically and their hearts began to panic.

"At present, we can only fight to the death with the Tang army." Shi Chaoyi gritted his teeth and ordered an attack.

As the order was conveyed, the front of the rebels began to advance. As the Tang army rushed over, the rebel soldiers ran with swords and shields. The formation quickly scattered. It seemed that the rebel soldiers rushed very hard, but when they followed, their momentum was lowered by a large margin.

The soldiers in front of both sides quickly collided. The soldiers of the Tang sabre and shield were close to each other under the command of the team officer, and used the shield in their hands to block the rebel soldiers rushing towards them.

The team official stood in the middle of Team 5 and shouted: "Stop the sword and shield hand, hold on! Spikeman, assassinate!"

The sword and shield hands in the first row held the shields tightly together with both hands. The weapons of the rebel soldiers rushing over were chopping on the shields, making a crisp sound.

The Tang army spearmen in the second platoon stabbed the spear out quickly and fiercely from the gap between the shields, and saw the stabbed rebel soldiers on the opposite side screaming.

The team officials immediately shouted: "The sword and shield hand is holding forward, and the spearman continues to assassinate!"

The sword and shield hands and the spearmen have clear division of labor. The sword and shield hands are mainly responsible for the attack of the rebels' weapons. The spearmen are mainly responsible for assassination. The overall action is as follows: 1. Cold weapon war is by no means assassinating the enemy with a weapon shield. It is no different from dying. This is the routine of street gangsters fighting in groups. In the era of cold weapons, the army's battle relies on battle formations and advances into the wall, and uses strict military discipline and the combat movements that have already formed habits to concentrate and exert the strength of all the soldiers in the army.

Seeing someone in front row die of a sword and shield soldier, the team official immediately shouted: "Press up the sword and shield soldier in the back, hurry up! Everyone is pushing forward! Propel forward!"

After the rebel soldiers in the front row were stabbed to death by spearmen, the Tang army officers ordered the sword and shield soldiers to move forward and advance. On such a large-scale battlefield, there was almost no fly flying in with dense human walls. If you want to win, you had to use all your strength to seize any space and beat the enemy backward step by step, so as to form a chain reaction and make the enemy retreat on the entire line.

The rebel soldiers without a neat formation could not concentrate and exert all their strength, and could not form a whole to fight against the Tang army. They were beaten backwards by the Tang army. The rebels rushing up from behind had to stop, but were squeezed backwards by the rebel soldiers in front.

1 rows of rebel soldiers were hacked and stabbed to death. The Tang soldiers stepped on the rebel corpses and blood and advanced step by step. Many of the Tang soldiers were injured, but in such a dense battlefield, it was impossible to retreat for medical treatment. They could only force their injuries and wait until the battle was over before going to find a doctor to treat the wound. The unlucky wounded soldier was seriously injured and died before the battle ended.

The two wings of the Tang army were dispatched, and the ground on the entire battlefield was shaking even more violently. The front of the rebels began to be unable to resist. Shi Chaoyi had to order 30,000 reinforcements from the central army, trying to regain the situation with a temporary advantage of force and take the opportunity to launch a counterattack. At the same time, he also ordered 5,000 cavalry on both sides of the left and right to fight against the 20,000 cavalry rushing over the Tang army.
