The dark clouds in the sky were rolling violently.
Boom!
There was lightning flashing among the dark clouds, like an electric snake, twisting and seeming to tear a crack in the sky.
"Wan Sheng!"
A burst of cheers broke out among the rebels.
"The morale of the warriors is high!" He Zun looked at Shi Zhongtang with admiration.
From killing the powerful general to inspiring the morale of his subordinates with his words, Shi Zhong, Tang Yun and Dan Fengqing seemed to be the most brilliant chess player, inadvertently turning the situation around.
This is the master!
He Zun said sincerely: "The greatest luck in my life is to follow the king!"
"The enemy is preparing to attack!" someone shouted loudly. Li Xuan had already seen it.
"Shi Zhongtang obviously has the right place and people in his hands at all times, so he should sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. But why would he take the initiative to launch an attack?" Li Xuan looked at his subordinates, "Only because he has a guilty conscience!"
"In the hundreds of years since the great Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, Li Mi and his son had a cholera epidemic, so that even such ugly men dared to jump to the throne. He thought he could be invincible, and at the beginning, it was indeed the case. But when the Northern Xinjiang Army held high
When the banner of rebellion went south, he found that he met his opponent."
Li Xuan's eyes were bright, "Our army has the world in mind, and the officers and men have vowed to put down the rebellion. This is right. But those on the opposite side are the traitors who, for their own selfish purposes, have destabilized the mountains and rivers and caused countless killings. They have a guilty conscience and are timid.
They are uneasy, so they can't wait, hoping that they can defeat our army in an instant."
This analysis thoroughly analyzed the mentality of both the enemy and ourselves.
"Tell the soldiers that evil can never defeat good!"
The so-called "reputable teacher" is not to be pedantic, but to stand on the right side. In this way, you will get more help if you get the right way, and less if you get the wrong way.
And an army with a righteous stance will be more fierce and tenacious in combat effectiveness.
"Wan Sheng!"
Cheers arose one after another in the Northern Xinjiang Army formation. "Yell the flag!"
The flag of the Chinese army waved. All the troops answered the flag. "Jiang Cunzhong!" "I am here!"
Northern Xinjiang general Jiang Cunzhong rode forward. "You lead the left wing!"
"I accept your order!"
Jiang Cunzhong rode his horse to the left wing. "Pei Jian!"
"I'm here!"
"You lead the right wing!" "I take orders!" Pei Jian went to the right wing.
Li Xuan smiled and said: "I am in the army, I will meet Shi Zhongtang for a while!"
Many years ago, when he met Shi Zhongtang in Chang'an, the foreigner who smiled apologetically made him wary. And Li Xuan, who was just a local official at the time, could not make Shi Zhongtang have any thoughts of friendship.
The two people separated and struggled hard in the south and north. Many years later, they met here.
Shi Zhongtang is already the king of the south, and he holds Guanzhong, the land of Longxing, which can be said to hold most of the world.
And Li Xuan took charge of the Northern Territory and destroyed the Northern Liao Dynasty, making everyone in the world admire him.
"This is a fateful battle!" He Lianrong said.
"Yes!" Han Ji nodded, "Your Highness, we will win!" The enemy troops were approaching.
The crossbow array was ready. The enemy cavalry was cheering. Then the crossbow array showed its power.
A wave of black clouds created a void. "Quick!"
The general was urging them, and according to his estimation, they would be able to engage the enemy after receiving at most one round of crossbow arrows.
Therefore, although the crossbow formation is sharp, its effect is limited after all. When the two sides are strangled together, the crossbow formation becomes useless.
Therefore, in the formation of the Tang army, crossbowmen were also infantrymen when they lowered their crossbows, and the same was true for archers.
In other words, one specialty can do many things! "Fire arrows!"
But this wave of dark clouds is about to fall, and the second wave of dark clouds will follow.
The general looked up in astonishment, "How could it happen so fast?" Once again, a blank appeared among the enemy troops. A third wave of dark clouds followed closely.
"God, where did they get so many crossbowmen?" The rebels were going crazy.
Shi Zhongtang saw it and frowned: "Where did the Northern Xinjiang Army get so many crossbowmen?"
Sixty thousand troops,
Cavalry and infantry, you can't make all the infantry crossbowmen.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Xinjiang Army doesn't seem to have enough crossbows!"
Wei Ming keenly noticed something strange. At this moment, the black cloud composed of crossbow arrows struck again. Shi Zhongtang squinted and said, "It's missing a lot."
But the killing of crossbow arrows is only one of the tasks, and more importantly, it is to make the enemy feel threatened at all times.
"Their crossbows were firing waves, and our troops kept falling." "This is so wrong!"
Although the big wave of arrows is shocking, the continuous small rain of arrows brings more damage and deterrence.
"How did they do it?" Shi Zhongtang looked slightly cold.
This was something he never predicted.
In the first battle, he received a head-on blow from Li Xuan. Damn it!
Shi Zhongtang clenched his fists!-
In the Northern Xinjiang Army's formation, the crossbow formation is firing. "Fire the arrows!"
The crossbowman in front finished firing and began to cock the bow. "Fire the arrow!"
The crossbowman behind them then released the crossbow bolt. "Fire the arrow!"
The rearmost crossbowman fires his arrow.
At this time, the crossbow in the front had finished winding the crossbow and placed the crossbow arrows in the arrow trough.
"Fire arrows!"
The crossbowmen at the front fired arrows again. Then came the second wave and the third wave.
The three-stage shot from another time and space emitted a shocking brilliance here.
"God!" "This is"
It was also the first time for many people in the Northern Xinjiang Army to see the power of three-stage shooting.
"This is His Highness's guidance!"
There was more awe in the eyes that looked at Li Xuan.
Crossbow arrows continued to pour down, and the enemy army finally approached the Northern Xinjiang Army's formation despite waves of blows.
"Wan Sheng!"
The aggrieved rebels gritted their teeth and shouted, "Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"
The rebel at the front was holding a spear, and with the momentum of the war horse, he easily pierced his opponent, and at the same time, he was also pierced by the opponent's spear.
At the front, just at the beginning, there was blood flowing like a river. "Up!"
The second row of Northern Xinjiang troops assassinated in unison!
The rebels' horses still maintained their speed at this moment, and their spears passed over the first row of fallen Northern Xinjiang troops and penetrated the opponent's body.
Amidst the pitiful howls, the front of the Northern Xinjiang Army array fell. And correspondingly, the same happened to the rebels.
Moreover, their speed was successfully slowed down. The third row of Northern Xinjiang troops stepped forward.
"Kill!" Both sides fought in close combat.
Li Xuan's gaze crossed the front line. The crossbow array was still showing its power.
Even if the black cloud composed of crossbow arrows occasionally breaks, it will still be reconnected before long.
This rhythm of hitting one wave after another makes the opponent miserable.
"Shi Zhongtang wanted to take the lead, but Gu had already prepared three-stage shooting and was waiting for him!" Li Xuan said contemptuously: "As early as the attack on Northern Liao, the crossbowmen in the army were practicing three-stage shooting.
, but I don’t need it.”
His Highness felt that he could still defeat the Northern Liao thieves without three shots. He felt his heart was shocked and he sincerely praised: "Your Highness's art of war is beyond my reach."
This is not just the art of war!
Han Ji looked at Li Xuan, and he felt that this was even more of a choice. A king's choice.
Li Xuan wanted to leave the three-stage shooting after the army went south, and deal a heavy blow to his mortal enemy.
"The false emperor who was supposed to be responsible for the three-stage shooting escaped, hit him by mistake, and wronged Shi Ni." Li Xuan said with a smile.
--
"Your Highness, the Northern Xinjiang Army's crossbows have never been broken!" Wei Ming's face turned livid.
The frequency of the Northern Xinjiang Army's crossbows fired gradually slowed down, and it no longer appeared to be one wave after another. The intervals between them were lengthened, but they did not stop.
Such a rhythm of strikes, while constantly causing damage, also cast a shadow over the hearts of the rebels.
"I don't know what method he used, but I think he has practiced it skillfully.
.But he has always tolerated it.
Shi Zhongtang's eyes became more stern.
Li Xuan went all the way south, and the performance of the crossbow array was quite satisfactory. This was showing patience and digging a hole.
Shi Zhongtang jumped into this big pit. How can he climb out?
"Let the warriors attack the target, the Northern Xinjiang Army Crossbow Formation!" The best way to solve the problem is face to face!
The rebels launched wave after wave of offensives. "Your Highness, the rebels are coming for the crossbow array," the old thief said.
"Let them come." Li Xuan said calmly.
The rebels repeatedly charged and killed, but the Northern Xinjiang Army's defense was exceptionally tough.
The two sides fought until noon, and the rebels were still more than a hundred steps away from the crossbow formation.
But the offensive has been exhausted. It’s time to eat!
People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry. Both the enemy and us are hungry after a fight.
Clang clang clang!
The sound of gold was heard among the rebels.
Immediately, the rebel cavalry was dispatched to cover our own evacuation. "No need to pursue."
Li Xuan shook his head.
What he needs to do now is build momentum.
Thirty thousand cavalry were galloping.
The scout reported back, "We found the Northern Xinjiang Army, about ten thousand people." "Ten thousand people!"
He Xiyan's eyes became brighter, "Okay!"
How could the 10,000 Northern Xinjiang troops intercept his army?
As long as this northern Xinjiang army is defeated, he can appear behind Li Xuan's army.
With just one flanking attack, this battle will be won! And the key point lies with him.
In other words, he will decide the outcome of this battle! "Rest!"
He Xiyan ordered his subordinates to rest.
"General, when will we attack?" Someone came to ask for instructions.
"The war is about to begin, and the Northern Xinjiang Army still has some strength at this moment. The king's 90,000-strong army, even if it is worn out, can wear down the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Only then will it be a good time for our army to attack."
Wait for your opponent to lose all morale and then strike with thunder!
Shi Zhongtang was able to make He Xiyan command the army because he valued his ability to judge the situation.
"Let the scouts inquire about the battle situation."
In the afternoon, the rebels changed their tactics.
They withdrew all their cavalry and used infantry as the main force to attack the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Moreover, they also pulled the crossbow formation to the front and fired at the Northern Xinjiang Army.
"Fire arrows!" The rebels fired a wave of crossbows. "Fire arrows!" "Fire arrows!" "Fire arrows!" The Northern Xinjiang army responded with three waves.
The crossbowmen on both sides gritted their teeth and accelerated.
Arrows fell on the soldiers of both sides who were strangled, and some people kept falling down screaming.
The tragic scene made Jiang Heer's face turn pale. She glanced at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked calm, as if he was watching a drama performed by someone else.
——Only when you stay out of the war can you find your opportunities more clearly.
The old thief lowered his head and recorded.
"Your Highness, the right wing has been breached." Li Xuan turned his eyes to the right.
A group of rebel soldiers broke through the right-wing defense line and was expanding the breach.
"Gu, trust Pei Jian!"
Li Xuan turned his gaze forward again.
Pei Jian sent out a reserve team, and the most intense fighting broke out in the gap.
Rows of soldiers rushed forward and turned into corpses in an instant. Comrades from behind followed without hesitation.
No one retreats!
The rebels knew that this battle would determine whether they would live in chaff or live in glory.
So they are not afraid of death.
The officers and soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army knew that this battle would determine the future of the Tang Dynasty.
"For the Tang Dynasty!"
A sergeant roared and charged towards the enemy.
One by one, his comrades followed behind him and launched a counterattack against the enemy troops in the gap.
One is for his own glory and wealth. The other is for
Conquer the family, the country and the world!
"Your Highness, the right wing is intact!"
Li Xuan took a look. At the original gap on the right wing, groups of soldiers from the Northern Xinjiang Army were counterattacking. They even broke into the enemy's formation.
"The morale of our sons is like a rainbow!" Li Xuan was very pleased.
He does not want his subordinates to fight for his own glory and wealth.
He wants his army to have its own soul. They should know why they are fighting.
For the sake of the mountains, rivers and the country, and for the homeland behind us. "Wonderful victory!"
A burst of cheers erupted from the gap on the right wing. Someone was about to capture the flag.
The sun was setting in the west and the temperature was dropping, but the two sides were fighting inextricably.
Dang, Dang, Dang! The rebels have retreated.
Shi Zhongtang said: "Today I tested the reality of Northern Xinjiang, and I saw the opportunity to win. Tomorrow is the time to defeat them!"
Dark clouds hung low in the sky, and a big bird flew by.
