Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh internal and external attack
The Han family did not capture Yanzhi Mountain, so they conquered it every year during the Shashuo period.
Under the fortress, the sweat-blooded horses are driven for a long time, and the Yumen Pass is always closed in the clouds.
The barbarians are coming from the Jiluochuan River, and the beacon smoke is rising in the Yuyang garrison.
Why do we look at each other after a long distance? The emperor thinks of the north with his sword.
If you want to make sure there are no ties on the plug, you will wait until the chanyu ties it around the neck.
——Excerpt from "Joining the Army" by Li Ang (Tang Dynasty)
…
The last fifty cavalrymen of the Tang Army formed a suspicious formation. One man rode three horses, with several military flags tied to their bodies, and leafy pine branches tied to their tails. As they galloped along, the branches swept across the ground, raising dust all over the sky.
Looking from a distance, we can see the Tang army's banners densely covered, the iron hooves rumbling, the smoke billowing, covering the sky and the earth.
Because they didn't know how many men and horses the Tang army had killed from behind, the Yan army was panicked and their positions were in chaos.
Shi Siming issued a general order to withdraw his troops, suspend the siege, and move his troops back to consolidate the central army.
Li Baoyu could see clearly from the top of the city, Qi Luck Dantian, and shouted: "My sons, the rebels have withdrawn. The time has come to counterattack. Kill them!"
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were excited and let out deafening shouts of killing.
In the barbican inside the city gate, a thousand elite cavalrymen of the Tang Army have been gathering for a long time. When they heard the shouts of killing from the counterattack on the tower, everyone's blood boiled and they geared up, unable to restrain their desire to charge and kill the enemy.
Li Baoyu gave an order, and the gates of the southern city were opened wide. Thousands of elite cavalrymen of the Tang Army roared out with their helmets on and their weapons brandished.
The Yan army had just withdrawn from the siege vehicles and ladders, and was turning around to return reinforcements. Unexpectedly, the Tang army dared to leave the city for a decisive battle!
The incident happened suddenly, and the Yan army was unprepared. Nearly ten thousand Yan soldiers were caught off guard by the Tang army's cavalry. There was a chaos among the troops and siege equipment. The Yan soldiers fled like rats and rabbits, and were chased and killed by the Tang army.
.
Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, the Tang army, which was hanging on for dear life, dared to open the city gate, take the initiative to attack, and engage in a decisive battle with the Yan army in the wild!
"What a fucking bully!"
Shi Siming was furious, and he immediately mobilized his troops to devour the Tang army.
The messengers stood on the high platform, waved flags, and organized the mobilization of the three soldiers and horses.
A cold arrow shot from nowhere, hitting the messenger in the head.
The second messenger didn't even raise his flag and was shot dead on the spot.
…
Without the flags of the messengers, the three armies were at a loss as to whether to fight the Tang army leaving the city or to retreat to protect the central army.
The Yan army entrenched outside Heyang City was like a giant python that had been shot blind, angry and manic, wandering around randomly.
The generals in charge of several groups of troops each had their own plans.
Some rushed to the north, some retreated to the south, and several groups of troops collided with each other. The Yan army's organization was suddenly scattered. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers.
Without a leader, tens of thousands of Yan troops retreated and fled in panic, further falling into chaos.
Li Baoyu, who was watching the battle on the top of the city, was overjoyed. He held a drumstick and beat the drum himself to cheer for the charging Tang army.
Hundreds of drums played in unison in Nancheng, Heyang, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. This, coupled with the sound of the hooves of the Tang army's cavalry, made the Yan army run away with their heads in their hands. They only hated their parents for having two feet.
The Yan army was attacked from both sides and had no time to assemble its military formations and was unable to organize an effective defense.
The Chinese army had just built several defensive positions, but before the decisive battle with the Tang army, they were overrun by the defeated Yan army.
The Tang army became more and more courageous as they fought, wielding their long sabers like tigers charging into a flock of sheep, chasing and killing the fleeing Yan army one by one.
Before countless fleeing Yan soldiers had time to turn around, they were stabbed in the back by a long spear and decapitated by a saber...
The situation on the battlefield was completely reversed, turning into a one-sided massacre of thousands of Tang troops against tens of thousands of Yan troops.
…
A brave general, his role goes far beyond charging into battle and destroying cities.
At the moment of the decisive battle, he is the anchor of the army, the metronome of the transition between offense and defense, and the clarion call for attack. He can inspire the morale of the entire army and make him invincible!
The Tang army on the tower saw only one man with a lion helmet and silver armor. Wherever he went, he was like a white dragon, turning over clouds, rain, and rivers. The Yan army in front of him was like sea water separated by water droplets, quickly retreating to both sides.
In an array of thousands of people, clear a passage.
Li Baoyu's eyes glowed with blazing light, and he laughed wildly: "Brothers, shout out and beat the drums to cheer for me, the first pioneer of the Tang Dynasty!"
If the five hundred Tang Army cavalry are like a sharp awl, Bai Fu is the tip of the awl!
Under the leadership of Bai Fu, the Tang army was extremely brave and brave, overcoming thorns and obstacles with overwhelming force.
Bai Fu rushed to Shi Siming's center in a blink of an eye, only a hundred steps away from the commander's flag.
Shi Siming had already noticed Bai Fu, but he didn't expect that Bai Fu would kill him in front of him in an instant.
"Escort!"
The commander-in-chief gave an order, and dozens of soldiers formed a fish-scale formation to protect Shi Siming, and formed an iron barrel around the commander's flag.
Bai Fu saw a man with a golden helmet and golden armor under the commander's banner, riding on a tall horse, surrounded by generals.
Bai Fu thought: "Shi Siming?!"
Without saying a word, Bai Fu opened his bow, nocked an arrow, and raised his hand to shoot an arrow.
The wolf-fang arrow whistled like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Shi Siming's golden helmet.
All the soldiers raised their shields high and hurriedly intercepted him.
"boom!"
The wolf's fang arrow that condensed Xunkan's true energy hit the shield, causing iron shavings to fly and the shield to shatter. The huge shock wave exploded the heads of several soldiers on the spot, and their brains burst out.
An iron filing flew past Shi Siming's face. Shi Siming finally took action, as fast as lightning, and caught the iron filing between his two fingers.
"Be bold!"
Shi Siming's eyes were filled with fire and he glared at the incoming general.
The white eyes are like lightning, facing the enemy.
The two people's eyes collided in the distance, sparks flew everywhere, and they didn't give in!
Shi Siming shouted angrily: "Who will kill this beast for me?!"
The three Yan generals cupped their fists and accepted the order, galloped out, stopped in front of Bai Fu's mount, and surrounded Bai Fu.
The Yan from the front will swing the mace, waiting for the best opportunity to strike; the Yan from the left rear will thrust straight forward, and the Yan from the right rear will swing his double whip to hit the back of Bai Fu's head.
Bai Fu clamped the horse's belly, speeding like lightning, accelerating in an instant! The speed was astonishing, reaching its peak in an instant, and in just two steps he was able to escape the encirclement of the two generals behind him.
In the front, Yan generals were frightened, whip horses charged, and maces smashed at the gate of Bai Fu's face.
Bai Fu lightly touched the left ear of the war horse, and the "Blast" horse's head quickly sank to the left.
General Yan in the front thought that Bai Fu was going to break through to the left, so he quickly rode his horse across and intercepted to the left.
"Gaste" moving to the left was just a feint. In fact, when Bai Fu's center of gravity moved to the left, "Gaste" was already ready to change direction.
Lost step!
Bai Fu lowered his right boot and stepped on the stirrup. The "Blast" moved to the right extremely quickly, and the Yan general in front was thrown into the air! The horse under him was staggered and lost its intercepting position.
Bai Fu and Yan Jiang passed by each other, and the Five-Hook Divine Flying Spear shot out like a silver chain. The tip of the spear penetrated Yan Jiang's left neck and was retracted instantly.
The two of them suddenly got together and separated. After Bai Fu jumped on the horse a few feet away, a line of blood spurted out from Yan Jiang's chest and he fell off the horse slumped.
Just a moment after the three generals intercepted, all the soldiers had already escorted the commander to retreat, and there was no sign of Shi Siming under the commander's banner anymore.
Bai Fu secretly said: "The beheading fighter is gone, let's end the battle as soon as possible."
Bai Fu pulled the reins, mobilized his horses, and with his spear like a dragon, he killed several generals in a row and captured the commander's flag.
Bai Fu waved Emperor Yan's great banner and shouted: "Shi Siming has been killed, and the Yan army has been defeated!"
In the chaos of the army, tens of thousands of Yan soldiers did not know whether it was true or false. They saw that the commander-in-chief Da Huang was captured by the Tang army, and the life and death of Emperor Yan was unknown.
The Yan generals no longer wanted to fight, and led their tribes to flee.
A battle with great disparity in strength was finally won!
