After the Battle of Asamiwara, Yang Yuanqing did not immediately rush south, but instead asked the army to rest for two days. He was very aware of the internal strife that occurred in Chang'an.
If the Sui army forced it too hard, the three brothers would work together to defend the enemy. If they were a little loose, their internal strife would inevitably break out. In this way, he would not have to go too far in the end to capture Chang'an.
Yang Yuanqing knew the current situation very well. The 100,000 troops on the northern front, the 150,000 troops on the eastern front, and the 100,000 Sui army on the western front also broke through the Great Zhen Pass, rushed into Fufeng County, headed towards Chang'an, and the southern front.
After the reorganization of 50,000, the Sui army also blocked all the southward passages, and 350,000 troops were about to trap Chang'an. No matter how hard the Tang army struggled, the situation was already gone.
At this time, the Sui army camp also left Qianshuiyuan and was slowly heading south along the Jingshui Valley, and finally stationed in a river valley about fifteen miles away from Xinping County.
At the second update, Yang Yuanqing, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by his personal soldiers, "Your Highness! Your Highness!"[
Yang Yuanqing sat up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The scout sent information that the Tang army in Xinping County had evacuated south. General Niu asked His Highness whether to assemble the army?"
Yang Yuanqing stood up and walked out of the tent. Niu Jinda and several scouts were standing outside the tent waiting for orders. Seeing Yang Yuanqing come out, Niu Jinda immediately stepped forward to report, "Report to Your Highness, the Tang army is evacuating Xinping County. Are we pursuing?"
Yang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark night sky. He resolutely ordered: "Immediately assemble 40,000 cavalry to pursue the Tang army overnight!"
The order was issued, and within a quarter of an hour, 40,000 cavalry quickly assembled. Yang Yuanqing personally led 40,000 iron cavalry to rush out of the camp and galloped south along the spacious road. The earth shook and the momentum was rushing. The thunderous horse hooves
The sound came several miles away.
Li Shimin led his army away from Xinping County forty miles and entered the wide Guanzhong Plain. At this time, several scouts rushed over and reported in great horror: "Your Highness, the Sui cavalry are coming!"
Li Shimin was shocked and looked northward. He saw that the north was covered with dust, covering the moonlight.
Soon, the earth began to tremble, and the sound of horse hooves like thunder sounded in the north. The Tang army shouted in horror, "The Sui army is here!"
Li Shimin shouted sternly: "Don't panic. Arrange the array!"
He waved his wolf-toothed spear and rushed to the infantry team and shouted: "Bowmen are ready, spearmen are in charge!"
The Tang army was rushing to array in panic, and rows of archers were raising arrows and aimed at the Sui cavalry coming from the north. Behind the archers, the six thousand spears were arranged in chaos, and it was still difficult to resemble in the night.
The military appearance is as neat during the day.
The Sui army had already reached two miles away. Yang Yuanqing looked at the dark group of Tang soldiers in the distance, and he felt that the other party was already in the array.
He immediately shouted: "Divid the troops in three directions, attack on both left and right wings!"
Amid the rumbling drums, 40,000 cavalry were divided into three groups. Yang Wei and Luo Shixin each led 10,000 cavalry into left and right wings. Yang Yuanqing personally led 20,000 central troops. The three cavalry were like sharp scissors, with momentum as if they were like sharp scissors.
He attacked the Tang soldiers like a thunderous thunder.
"Cum!" Li Xianjun shouted.
Three thousand archers were shooting arrows, and arrows were densely shot towards the Sui cavalry running towards them. The Sui cavalry had already reached a hundred steps away. They held up their shields to welcome the rapid rush of arrows. Although soldiers were constantly shot by arrows and fell.
But the casualties could not affect the galloping horses of the Sui army.
Seeing that the Sui cavalry had already reached the front of him, the archers were in chaos and turned around and ran back, with thousands of spearmen behind him.
'Boom!' There was a loud noise from the ground, screams and cries suddenly sounded, and the Sui cavalry, who were rushing like a tide, rushed into the spear army group, and broke through a bloody gap dozens of feet long. The cavalry
The group broke into the spear formation and the two armies fought together.
The 10,000 right-wing cavalry led by Luo Shixin was intercepted by Yuchi Gong's four thousand black armored light cavalry. The two most elite cavalry launched an unprecedented night battle of cavalry in a wilderness. The horses galloped, the weapons were in line, and soldiers were constantly suffering.
He was killed and dismounted.[
The left-wing cavalry led by Yang Wei flew the bowmen and spearmen from the side. The forces of the two sides were very different. The Sui army fought against 18,000 Tang troops with 40,000 elite cavalry, with more than twice the number of the other party. Only half an hour later
The Tang army gradually couldn't resist it.
The main general of the spear soldier was Hou Junji. He was so anxious that he shouted, waving his sword to fight with the Sui cavalry. He was very skilled in martial arts and chopped down nine cavalry in a row.
Hou Junji roared and waved toward a Sui army captain, slashing the enemy general in the back of his head. At this moment, an iron arrow shot towards him, as fast as lightning. When Hou Junji discovered it, he was too late.
After that, he screamed, and the iron arrow shot through his throat. Hou Junji turned over and fell off the horse and died in the chaos.
A hundred steps away, Yang Yuanqing calmly stopped the bow and arrow, and his eyes turned to the most dense part of the Tang army. Based on his intuition and experience, Li Shimin must be where?
Yang Yuanqing shouted loudly: "Those who order the three armies to capture Li Shimin alive will be rewarded with tens of thousands of taels of gold and will be promoted to the third level."
With the heavy reward, the Sui army's attack became even more crazier, like a stormy attack again and again. The Tang army finally couldn't support it and the defeat had already appeared.
Under the escort of more than a hundred personal soldiers, Li Shimin was also fighting with the Sui cavalry, but he had changed into an iron helmet and was wearing a cloak. In the dark, the Sui cavalry did not recognize him as Li Shimin.
At this moment, Yuchi Gong opened a bloody road and rushed to Li Shimin and shouted: "Your Highness, the army can no longer support it and is about to be defeated. Come out with Bei Yi."
"I won't leave!"
Li Shimin's eyes were red and shouted: "The army is there, and I am there, and the army is defeated and I am dead!"
Seeing that Li Shimin refused to leave, Yuchi Gong was anxious and made a gesture to more than a dozen personal soldiers. The personal soldiers rushed forward, grabbed Li Shimin's arm, and forced him to run westward. The way to the south had been driven by Yang Wei's army.
The blockage was only slightly less than the Sui army in the west.
The Tang army could not resist the powerful attack of 40,000 Sui cavalry and finally collapsed. The wailing sounded throughout the field. The Tang army soldiers fled in all directions in the field.
Dozens of war horses were fast, and Li Shimin was pressed to the war horse by Yuchi Gong and could not escape. At this time, his tears burst out and he finally burst into tears. The Tang Dynasty was destroyed.
In the darkness, Yuchi Gong and more than 20 personal soldiers protected Li Shimin, fought a bloody path in the chaos, fled to the west, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
.........
Although the court repeatedly concealed it, the news that the Qin King's army was wiped out as the defeated soldiers fled back. The city of Chang'an was in chaos, and the major city gates were filled with people who were going to escape from Chang'an.
The city gate of Chang'an is closed and no one is allowed to leave the city, cutting off the hope of the people in Chang'an leaving the war.
What followed was a large purchase of various materials. Everyone knew in their hearts that once the Sui army besieged the city and formed a protracted confrontation, there would be a serious famine, and the food price would skyrocket to a thousand dollars overnight.
Despite this, the grain from various grain shops in Chang'an was sold out in one afternoon.
Not only food, but all edible items were bought by crazy people. The stores in the city and Liren City were closed one after another, the restaurants were no longer open, the streets and alleys became deserted, and the sky was as dark as the Jinwuwei began.
There is a curfew and no one is allowed to leave the house and take to the streets.
In Yanshoufang, Yang Jun stayed at home alone drinking a drink. He wanted to escape from the city while the chaos was in chaos, but unexpectedly, the city gate was closed and he could not go out, so he had to go home.
Yang Yuanqing was worried about the safety of his wife and children, and he felt really depressed. He was originally an important pawn in the struggle between the King of Qin and the Prince, but as the King of Qi emerged, the conflict between the Prince and the King of Qin was diluted, and he also changed.
After getting free, the prince never looked for him again, and Zhang Gongjin seemed to have forgotten him.
Suddenly, there was a rush knock on the door outside, and Yang Jun's heart beat sharply. Who would come to find him when he was sensitive? He became a little nervous and stood up and walked out.
When he walked into the yard, he saw a black shadow climbing over the wall and coming in. "Who is it?" Yang Jun shouted angrily.[
"Brother, it's me!"
The black shadow turned out to be his brother Yang Rong, which made Yang Jun stunned. His brother had been missing for more than a month to hide from gambling debts. He thought he had fled to Taiyuan, but he didn't expect that he was still in Chang'an.
"Where are you during this period?"
"Brother, let's talk about it when you enter the house! Something big happened."
Yang Jun nodded and took Yang Rong into the study. When he saw Yang Rong wearing black clothes and dressed like a civilian, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "The outside is so strict, how can you go out to the street?"
Yang Rong took out a silver medal, put it on the table, and said proudly: "With this silver medal, no one on the road will make things difficult for me."
Yang Jun took the silver medal and looked at it. Seeing that the words "King of Qi" were engraved on it, he was shocked, "How could you have the silver medal of the King of Qi?"
"To be honest, I was taken over by the King of Qi, and I was the deputy leader of the Xiaowei under his command."
"What are you doing when King Qi surrenders Luo?" Yang Jun became even more puzzled.
"Hmph! It's not because of Yang Yuanqing, because I am Yang Yuanqing's second brother, the King of Qi thought I was useful and took me into his mansion. I only realized now that I had entered the quagmire."
Speaking of this, Yang Rong took out another silver medal and handed it to Yang Jun, and said nervously: "Brother, leave the mansion quickly. The King of Qi is going to take action tonight. I saw his murder list, with the eldest brother's name, holding it
This silver medal can be hidden in another store.”
Yang Jun was shocked, "You mean that King Qi is going to do something tonight?"
Yang Rong lowered his voice and said, "Brother may not know yet! The emperor has passed away. The so-called unconsciousness is a lie. King Qi bribed the imperial doctor and concealed the truth. He has been waiting for the King of Qin to come back, but
Now that the whereabouts of the King of Qin are unknown, the King of Qi will not wait any longer and will take action tonight."
After saying that, Yang Rong stood up and said, "I have to go back. If it is delayed for a long time, the King of Qi will doubt me."
Yang Rong left in a hurry, and Yang Jun's face became extremely serious. No! He had to tell the prince immediately about this matter.
