Although the Liaodong Army had the upper hand, in the darkness of the night, it was attacked from two sides by Long Rui's Army and cut off in half, so it could no longer form any advantage.
During the siege battle, morale waxed and waned, and Long Rui's army already had the upper hand.
Tonight's surprise attack, everyone in the Long Rui Army knows that it is very important. Whether they can reverse the situation depends on this one move, and the enemy will only give their side one chance. Once this night attack fails, they will try to find a way to reverse the situation.
Opportunities are hard to come by.
Because of this, everyone in Long Rui's army was prepared to die, and everyone was vying to be the first.
Whether it was Yu Wen Chengchao or Zhao Shengtai, when they led the charge, they always took the lead and led the soldiers. It is said that generals have no desire to live, and soldiers have the heart to die. When the officers and soldiers of Long Rui Army saw the general charging ahead, their morale was naturally boosted.
On the other hand, the Liaodong Army fell into a leaderless situation for a while, and this army included both Qian Siyi's subordinates and Tang Kaijia's troops. It would be fine if the situation was advantageous, but once it fell into chaos, it instantly became a mess.
There are many factions in the Liaodong Army, and power struggles of various sizes have already spread from top to bottom.
Although Tang Kaijia's Three Thousand Parts all obeyed Tang Kaijia's orders, there were many factions among these three thousand parts, and many generals had their own divisions. According to the rules of the game of the Liaodong Army, the soldiers and horses on hand of the generals were
The capital of your own foothold, whoever has more soldiers will speak louder, and the foundation of your foothold will be deep.
Facing the sudden offensive of Long Rui's army, the first thought of many generals was not to organize a counterattack, but to fear that their troops would be damaged. They shouted loudly and gathered their troops to prevent their troops from being thrown into chaos.
losses occurred.
So under the attack from both sides by Long Rui's army, a strange scene appeared in the enemy camp. The enemy troops in the Chinese camp were being killed by Long Rui's cavalry, but the Liaodong soldiers distributed on both sides did not take the opportunity to move in and attack Long Rui.
The cavalry encircled them, but they all worked separately, becoming an extremely fragmented team on the battlefield.
It's like an opponent clenching his fist to hit him. Instead of clenching his fist to resist, he cut his five fingers open and allowed his palm to be hit hard by the opponent's fist.
This directly led to the disorganization of the Liaodong Army's formation. Although Long Rui's cavalry was at a disadvantage on the entire battlefield, it had an absolute advantage in local battles.
Yuwen Chengchao did not expect that the prestigious Liaodong Army would have such low-level or even fatal flaws on such an important battlefield, but he was soon relieved. After all, the Liaodong Army had been in peace for many years, and there were many factions fighting for power, even if
On the battlefield, all that comes to mind is selfishness.
If we face only weak bandits and cannot test the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army's weaknesses that are rotten to the core can still be concealed, but when encountering a truly powerful enemy, the bad habits and fatal flaws formed over the years will be exposed.
The two cavalry groups of Yuwen Chengchao and Zhao Shengtai were like two tigers jumping into the sheep herd. The sheep were in great panic. Under the attack and slashing of Long Rui's cavalry, they suffered numerous casualties, and most of the Liaodong soldiers had their morale collapsed.
Although some generals in the eastern part of Liao tried their best to gather their troops, but as soon as they gathered some troops, the Long Rui cavalry rushed over and collapsed at the first touch.
In less than a stick of incense, the battlefield was already covered with corpses, and the morale of the Liaodong Army had completely collapsed. At first, only a small number of Liaodong soldiers fled north, but this was like a breach of a dike, which soon aroused the attention of the entire Liaodong Army.
Apart from a very small number of Liaodong soldiers who were still fighting hard, most of the Liaodong soldiers had no fighting spirit and just wanted to escape from this hellish battlefield.
Yuwen Chengchao was naturally worried that these troops would regroup after they retreated, so he did not give them a chance to regroup and still led his troops to cover up the enemy from behind.
Many Liaodong soldiers knew that the situation was over and abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
By the time Yuwen Chengchao reined in his horse, the corpses of the enemy troops had spread for miles, with countless casualties and countless Liaodong soldiers abandoning their weapons and surrendering. Although many soldiers and horses fled in all directions, Yuwen Chengchao knew that the enemy troops had already
Unable to regroup.
He ordered the enemy's weapons to be confiscated, and drove the surrendered soldiers to a place outside the city to temporarily guard them.
When the light of dawn spreads to the earth, a fierce counterattack finally ends.
The dawn light shone on Yu Wen Chengchao's blood-stained shirt, and his cold armor made him look like a god of war.
Such a result was definitely not expected by the Liaodong Army, nor by the officers and soldiers of the Long Rui Army, including hundreds of Forbidden Army soldiers.
Yesterday, we were besieged in the city and were violently attacked by the Liaodong Army. Who would have imagined that after one night, the surrounded Liaodong Army actually fled to death and surrendered. Thousands of soldiers and horses were almost disintegrated. Such a result can be called
Miracle.
And to achieve such results, killing countless enemy troops, the price Long Ruijun paid was extremely small.
Everyone looked at Yu Wen Chengchao with awe from the bottom of their hearts.
If Yuwen Chengchao hadn't made a decisive decision and unexpectedly led his troops to attack at night with the courage of tigers and wolves, Jiping City would still have been surrounded by enemy troops. The outcome of this battle was really unpredictable.
Some Long Rui Army officers were still cleaning the battlefield and counting the loot.
However, Tang Kaijia had already been tied up by Wuhuada and brought to Yuwen Chengchao.
His broken arm had been bandaged, his face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a state of embarrassment.
Naturally, Yuwen Chengchao already knew that this person was General Tang Kaijia of Mingwei.
The opponent of Long Rui Army in the northeast is the Liaodong Army, so Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao have information about some important generals in the Liaodong Army.
Although Tang Kaijia was tied up, he raised his head, which seemed to show that he was still a man.
"General Mingwei Tang Kaijia!" Yuwen Chengchao smiled disdainfully and said, "I heard that in the Liaodong Army, apart from Huangfu Yunzhao, you are the strongest general. Now it seems that you, General Mingwei, are nothing more than that."
Tang Kaijia and Huangfu Yunzhao had always been at odds with each other. When Yu Wen Chengchao said this, Tang Kaijia's eyes widened in anger and he said sternly: "Yu Wen Chengchao, if you want to kill me, just kill me, don't talk so much nonsense. I have a big scar on my head."
If you frown, it’s not...!”
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a "choking" sound, and Yu Wen Chengchao had already drawn the knife in his hand. Without saying a word, he swung the knife and chopped off his head.
Tang Kaijia never expected that Yu Wen Chengchao would strike so decisively. He exclaimed "Ah", closed his eyes, and turned pale. Who knew that the big knife was just a few feet away from his forehead, and then stopped, but Tang Kaijia felt that the wind of the knife seemed to
Already cut into his own head.
When I opened my eyes, I was already covered in cold sweat, my legs were weak, and I couldn't hold on any longer, so I sat down.
Yuwen Chengchao slowly put away his sword and looked at Tang Kaijia playfully.
Tang Kaijia felt weak all over and was in shock. At that moment, his liver and gallbladder were already torn apart.
"You're afraid of death!" Yu Wen Chengchao slowly squatted down, looked at Tang Kaijia who was slumped on the ground, and said calmly: "Singing and dancing, drinking pools and meat forests have already emptied your courage, so there is no need to show that you have any courage in front of me.
Being so rigid will only make you look like a clown."
Tang Kaijia said angrily: "Yuwen Chengchao, scholars can be killed, but not humiliated, you...!"
Before he finished speaking, someone had already kicked him in the back, but it was the Forbidden Army Sigoni Laoben standing behind him. Hearing that he wanted to talk more, he couldn't help but kicked him and cursed: "Insult your mother."
, how dare you, a bastard like you, say that you are a scholar?"
There was a burst of laughter all around.
Yuwen Chengchao also laughed loudly and said: "Tang Kaijia, look, everyone knows who you are. As far as we know, among the generals in Liaodong, your Tang family occupies the most land, and countless people from all families are involved.
I have been tortured by you. What can you do to cultivate your moral integrity, manage your family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world? You call yourself a scholar, but you really have no self-awareness. If you don’t want to be humiliated, you can commit suicide. If you are willing, I will give you a knife now.
, you wiped your throat in front of everyone."
Tang Kaijia opened his mouth but made no sound.
"If you don't want to die, just tell the truth." Yuwen Chengchao's face darkened, and he stared into his eyes and asked, "You led the troops to the city, but you didn't launch an attack immediately. Did you use Jiping City as a bait to gather reinforcements?"
Yuwen Chengchao's tiger eyes were like blades, and the chill was overwhelming.
Tang Kaijia knew that the matter had come to this, and there was no need to hide it. After all, Longba was only more than thirty miles away from Jiping City. Even if he kept silent, Yuwen Chengchao sent spies, and they would soon be able to find out the military situation over Longba. He could only say
: "Qin Xiao has been surrounded by thousands of cavalry at Longba."
"As expected, you mobilized the cavalry." Yuwen Chengchao frowned. "How many cavalry were mobilized from Liaodong?"
The Tang family took root in the Northeast, enjoyed great wealth and enjoyed great wealth.
Because of this, Tang Kaijia was extremely precious about his life. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "General...the general has set up a plan to deliberately draw your attention to Jiping City. He expected that you would send people to surprise Jiping, so he used the best quality as bait.
, preparing to severely defeat Long Rui's army. The general secretly mobilized 5,000 troops and horses, and I led 3,000 infantry to attack Jiping City. After you captured Jiping City, besiege it and induce Qin Xiao to send reinforcements to rescue it.
Dou Xiong led four thousand cavalry to set up an ambush. As soon as your reinforcements pass Longba and enter the plain, they will immediately launch an attack and wipe out all the reinforcements...!"
"Wait a minute." Yu Wen Chengchao said immediately: "You just said that you would mobilize five thousand troops and horses. Of the three thousand infantry under your command, there should only be two thousand cavalry left. Where did Dou Xiong get the four thousand cavalry?"
"The general bribed Bu Liuda's great Chanyu and transferred two thousand immortal troops from Bu Liuda." Tang Kaijia said: "The two thousand immortal troops were also handed over to Dou Xiong to participate in the ambush plan."
Yuwen Chengchao raised his head and looked at Zhao Shengtai beside him, and saw the look of horror in his eyes.
