Destroying dryness and decay, the momentum is like a rainbow.
The violent Jin army turned the entire area south of Fengling Ferry into their own stage, and everything else became their foil.
After being defeated like a mountain, Wei Ting's tribe, which was still intact, still wanted to fight and retreat slowly, despite Wei Ting's efforts to maintain it.
But after the Chinese army was defeated, Wei Ting knew that if he hesitated again and got into entanglement with the rushing Henan surrender troops, he was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of Ren Can, so Wei Ting immediately led his army to leave in a hurry, because that terrible army was almost the same
Already rushed behind them.
In fact, even if the Jin army still has strength after defeating the two armies, if Wei Ting's army can fight back, the victory or defeat is uncertain. But war is like this, and the outcome of the war cannot be inferred based on pure facts, because of this
At that time, everyone in the Tang army was frightened and could not think of any way to turn the tide...
The Tang army collapsed... Looking down from the sky at this time, the mountains and plains were filled with the figures of the Tang army's fleeing soldiers. After the battle, only about half an hour later, 20,000 Tang soldiers were defeated and fled. The Jin army won the battle like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
.
Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui led their troops together with the Henan surrender troops and chased them for several miles. Then they gathered their soldiers, counted the casualties and the results of the battle, and when they gathered together again, more than half an hour had passed.
Both guys were wearing heavy clothes soaked with sweat, and their bodies were stained with dark red marks. They looked a little embarrassed, but they were both very energetic.
Such a victory was something they had never dared to imagine before. At this time, their hearts were filled with the ecstasy after victory, mixed with some unreal feelings.
After so many years, everyone in the world knows that the heroes of Kansai should not be insulted lightly. Their strength and bravery have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but today's battle...
The two Henanese, who had both been treated as useless by Li Tang, felt elated and happy in shock.
As soon as they met, Zhang Shigui laughed and grabbed Xu Shiji's arm, "This battle was hearty and exciting. It's a pity that there are few soldiers. We can't take advantage of the victory and take Tongguan directly. It's a pity."
Xu Shiji also bared eight of his teeth and said, "With such a strong army at hand, why worry about failing to achieve a great cause? You and I have to meet a wise master and be able to give full play to our talents. This is a blessing for you and me, so why should we regret it?"
When the two of them encountered this great victory, they often got carried away with their words, their sharp edges were fully displayed, and their ambitions were revealed. However, both of them actually understood that this battle would end here.
The Tang army that came out of the pass was divided into three groups and defeated Sang Xianhe. There were still more than 5,000 people in front of them. If they rushed over regardless, they might be able to continue to defeat them with a strong spirit, but it was more likely that they would fall into a battle.
A melee would be doubly dangerous.
You know, there are still five thousand cavalry chasing Wang Shichong. If we go back and attack, the outcome of this battle will be completely different. If we encounter cavalry in the wild... well, both Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui have experienced that.
What about the scene.
Both of them are good generals and will not be dazzled by victory, so they unanimously gathered their troops and gathered here.
In this battle, they all made real contributions. Xu Shiji relied on this battle to gain a foothold in the Jin army, and Zhang Shigui gained more.
In addition to the fact that the newcomer could take credit from the King of Han, in a few days, two devastating victories stabilized his shaky but still holding on to self-confidence, which was very important for his future career.
Something beneficial.
Niu Jinda and others came to pay their respects one after another. After this battle, these Henan descendants were shocked. They looked at Xu Shiji and the two men as if they were gods.
This was probably how officers and soldiers suppressed bandits back then. Every time one of the parties engaged in battle, the rebels would be able to kill them and run away. Even when Zhang Xutuo was in Shandong, he once created a miracle in which dozens of cavalry defeated tens of thousands of rebels.
But they were rebels and bandits, and they had nothing in common with the Tang Army. The Tang Army was born out of the officers and soldiers of the late Sui Dynasty, and now it almost just changed its banner.
With 4,000 soldiers, Xu Shiji defeated the 20,000 Tang army. What was even more frightening was that the Tang army had almost no power to fight back, and they were killed and their corpses were scattered all over the field. Such a battle caused several Henan soldiers to join forces.
The joy after the victory was gone, and my heart was trembling to the core.
Shen Qingnu took the lead in leading the army to attack Wei Ting's tribe. Not only did the victory give him courage, but he was also frightened. If he didn't make some contributions and just followed behind to take advantage, the two kings of hell turned around and said,
Maybe someone's head will fall to the ground.
Their few men and horses are not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth...
The performance of these four thousand soldiers really frightened some people on both sides of the enemy and us. Not to mention the Tang army, the corpses were spread out for several miles. A rough count showed that nearly 6,000 Tang soldiers were killed or injured. In other words, according to everyone's habits
, if you cut off the heads to discuss military merit, let’s divide it among these four thousand people. Surprisingly, each of them can get a head and still get some fractions.
In a face-to-face duel between light infantry and outnumbered enemies, it is actually rare to see such a record since ancient times, even when the army suppresses bandits.
The Henan surrender troops were also frightened. When someone on the battlefield raised a bloody steel knife and shouted wildly, showing their proud bravery and impressive achievements to the world, they were scattered all over the fields.
The companions among them joined in, and wild and murderous voices echoed one after another in the wilderness.
The people who surrendered in Henan gathered in piles here and there, looking around in fear, looking pitiful and helpless. Being able to scare the guys who crawled out of the pile of dead people in Henan into this is enough to show that this
At this moment, the momentum of Jin soldiers was so terrifying.
Shen Fan and his two subordinates huddled in the crowd, holding the two heads tightly in his arms, looking around in panic. If those scary ghosts came to steal his military exploits, he would fight to the death as usual and refuse to obey.
Or give a flattering smile?
At the same time, Niu Jinda also gathered next to Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui, looking around randomly. He didn't even want to compliment the two military princes for their victory. Niu Jinda was even more frustrated and thinking that after crossing the river, he might as well get some land and live a peaceful life.
go.
Compared with other people, after fighting for so many years, it is just that. In front of such people, no matter how many people call them heroes, they are like fucking lambs waiting to be slaughtered...
This is obviously a relatively pure warrior mentality, and it is also one of the root causes of today's troubled times.
Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui had no time to pay attention to the thoughts of the surrendering people, and immediately urged everyone to clean up the battlefield. At the same time, they also sent some more scouts to pay attention to the movements of the Tang army, because the war would not end with this, and the war continued to burn...
When the two men led their troops back to Fengling Ferry, it was getting late, and there was smoke in the camp. It was time for dinner, and after this defeat, the Tang army obviously would not test the toughness of the defenders at Fengling Ferry at this night.
To a certain extent.
At the camp on the north bank, Li Po had already received the battle report. He imagined that more than 20,000 Tang troops were defeated in one battle. Li Po was also scratching his head. The two guys wouldn't falsely report their military exploits, right?
Of course, this was just a thought. Before the battle reports from Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui came, the spies watching the movements on the battlefield had already sent back the news one after another.
The reconnaissance report was very detailed, but Li Po still couldn't imagine how four thousand infantry could rush up and drive away 20,000 Tang troops like sheep without the help of cavalry.
Are Xu Shiji and Zhang Shigui possessed by the two gods of war, too capable, or is the Tang army too weak? If the Tang army is really like this, shouldn't Yuchi be ordered to cross the river to attack Feng Yi?
Before, he tried his best to lift Li Tang up, trying hard to pull this "lucky man" down from the position of God's illegitimate son, but after today's battle, he seemed to realize that Li Tang was not that... powerful?
For him, this was really a proposition that was difficult to analyze clearly. After thinking about it until now, he came to a rough conclusion. Li Da was indeed inferior to Li Er. He raised all his soldiers into rabbits, and there was no lion to lead a group.
rabbit.
In the end, Li Po realized that he had thought too much. No matter what Li Tang did, he could not change his established strategy. Now it could only be regarded as a small victory. For the overall situation, it was a good start. It was probably
It will have a certain impact on the future situation.
So what we need to do now is definitely not to test how weak the Tang army is, but to take advantage of the situation to cross the river, gain a foothold in Henan, and completely drag Li Jiancheng's troops to the Tongguan line.
Of course, rewarding meritorious soldiers is a top priority...
Li Po immediately ordered Zhang Lun to lead his army across the river overnight. If the entire Tang army came out to take revenge tomorrow...
Well, Li Po and Zhang Lun discussed it and both felt that it was impossible. Twenty thousand people were defeated in the wilderness like this. Everyone had to take a moment, especially Li Jiancheng.
the possibility of war.
If the Tang army mobilizes troops from other places, it will take some time. In other words, the situation is very good. The more troops there are in Tongguan later, the more favorable the situation will be for Li Po.
If he can hold off the Tang army's heavy troops with a small force, he can then explore Feng Yi, Hancheng and other places on the west bank.
That night, the lights on both sides of the Yellow River were brightly lit, and the Jin army crossed the river overnight without any harassment or threats. When it was dark, the detective report reached Li Po again.
Lu Chengda's five thousand cavalry were recalled to Tongguan. Sang Xian and his troops lost nearly half of their troops, and together with the five thousand supporting Tang troops, they retreated to Tongguan.
It can be said that this battle was so painful for the Tang Army that the tentacles they had just extended retracted.
The final tally of the results was that more than 5,600 enemy troops were killed and wounded, more than a thousand were captured, General Ren Can of the left guard of the East Palace was beheaded, Sang Xianhe was captured, General Ren Can's flag was captured, and armored weapons were captured... Okay
, this is really not much.
It seems like just a small victory...
