A battalion of soldiers, led by Zhao Kuangyin, accelerated towards the Tang camp. The flags were flapping in the winter wind. They were spotted by Tang army sentries from a distance. The horn sounded to warn the whole camp.
On the Tang Army's side, regimental training envoy Guo Tingwei and governor He Yanxi, upon hearing the news, quickly got up from their army couches, put on their armor, and headed to the front of the camp to check on the situation.
He Yanxi, a little angry and angry, went to the sentry tower and found Guo Tingwei looking with confusion at Zhao Kuangyin's army, which was arrayed to challenge more than a mile away.
Seeing He Yanxi, Guo Tingwei introduced him: "The Han army has about four to five hundred people, and there is no horse army. The flag is "Zhao", and it should be Zhao Kuangyin who is stationed at Wokou!"
"These Han troops made a sneak attack last night and came to provoke me again this morning. With only a few hundred people, they dare to come and stroke my tiger's beard?" Looking down, He Yanxi suddenly said with disdain and anger: "I will bring two thousand people with me.
Soldier, annihilate them!"
"He Dujian, let's take another look and see what the purpose of these Han troops is?" Guo Tingwei is a middle-aged general. Although his reputation is not obvious, he has experienced many wars and has always been calm and measured.
"Did Guo Shijun be frightened by the Han cavalry camp last night?" He Yanxi, with a bit of literati's arrogance, said with slight contempt: "If you don't dare, defend the camp by yourself, I will lead the troops there
Deal with that mere Zhao Kuangyin!"
After saying this, he ignored Guo Tingwei's solemn expression and ordered his men to order several battalions of more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, opened the camp gates, and rushed towards the Han army with great momentum.
When he saw the Tang camp moving a mile away, especially when he saw the big flag with the word "He", Zhao Kuangyin immediately laughed and took a deep breath: "I can smell it even from a mile away."
To the aroma of rice in Tangying..."
Zhao Kuangyin arrived at a time jam and disturbed the Tang camp. At this time, the Tang soldiers had no time to eat. The emperor was not short of hungry soldiers, and the Tang soldiers who came out of the camp were just a bunch of hungry soldiers.
However, after He Yanxi led the Tang army out of the camp, Zhao Kuangyin could not help but frown, because the number of Tang troops who attacked did not meet his expectations. Upon seeing this, he immediately changed his plan to feign defeat in the first battle.
As soon as the letter flag was waved, the five hundred Han troops immediately adjusted into an attack array. Zhao Kuangyin pointed at He Yanxi who was guarding the army in the distance and said: "The enemy's wings are spread out to swallow us up. Later, you will follow me and charge directly."
Among the troops, stare at the Tang general on horseback. Remember, you are not allowed to kill him!"
With red robe and bright armor, He Yanxi’s outfit is very eye-catching.
After observing the movement of the Tang army in the camp, after it was fully deployed, he raised his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, the time has come to make a name for yourself, follow me and charge!"
After saying this, he took the lead, hunkered down, and galloped away. Behind Zhao Kuangyin, five hundred Suzhou regiments rushed towards He Yanxi, shouting "kill".
Although the number was small, the momentum was strong, like a fierce tiger, attacking the Tang army. He Yanxi was surprised when he saw the movement of the Han army. He did not expect that in the face of four times the enemy, Zhao Kuangyin neither retreated nor fought.
The formation resisted and came straight towards him.
He Dujian, who was proud of his military ability, quickly sent an order to tell the Tang army, which was outflanked by two wings, to speed up the encirclement. He led his troops to attack the Han army.
But when the Han army approached, looking at the murderous and fierce momentum of the Han soldiers, he felt panic for no reason, and He Yanxi temporarily issued an order for his soldiers to set up a formation to defend them.
Under such circumstances, there was no time. In the rush, the Tang army did not have time to take up their positions. They only had time to fire two waves of arrows, and the Han army's sword had already struck the Tang army's neck.
Zhao Kuangyin's direction was like a knife cutting through tofu, cutting neatly into the Tang army's formation. Galloping lightly on his horse, Zhao Kuangyin killed three people in a row, and then pointed directly at He Yanxi, who had begun to retreat. And his Suzhou regiment training was carefully prepared by Zhao Kuangyin
, well-trained, followed him closely, coordinated on both sides, and fought with the Tang army.
The momentum of a tiger frightens the flock of sheep, and its front is difficult to guard. The soldiers of the Tang army were exhausted after being harassed last night. They got up in the morning, their hands and feet were stiff, and they had not eaten yet. They were driven out of the camp to fight by He Yanxi, and under the orders of He Dujian,
If chaos arises in the midst of busyness, how can it withstand the attack of the Han army?
In just a quarter of an hour, it was on the verge of collapse, and He Yanxi fled directly from the front to the back of the formation. His actions caused the Tang army to lose command and could only fight on their own.
While Zhao Kuangyin was fighting, he still did not forget to look at the battlefield situation. Although he was despicable at He Yanxi's performance before the battle, he was really happy. He noticed that the two battalions of Tang troops outflanking the two flanks had arrived, and he immediately drew his sword and rushed towards He Yanxi with his men.
During the rush, He Yanxi's identity was confirmed.
Facing the unstoppable strength of the Han army, He Yanxi panicked and shouted in panic: "Stop them!"
Faced with the Tang soldiers gathering to intercept him, Zhao Kuangyin galloped forward on his horse, slashed left and right, and led his men to cut up his army. He rushed to He Yanxi. He raised his long sword, slashed at He Yanxi, and shouted: "He Yanxi, Na
Come on!"
The sharp edge on Zhao Kuangyin's battle blade almost chilled He Yanxi's heart. He screamed, subconsciously ducked and rolled off his horse. When he cut down, Zhao Kuangyin reduced his strength and slashed at the armor on his back, knowing that
He must be fine. Sure enough, He Yanxi fell off his horse, rolled and crawled regardless of the pain, and hid behind the soldiers of the surrounding Tang army, no longer caring about the demeanor of a scholar-bureaucrat.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin ordered: "The whole army shouted, He Yanxi is dead!"
Then, with his men, he turned and rushed towards the chaos of the Tang army. Zhao Kuangyin had a very keen sense of battlefield and focused on attacking weak points. He attacked all the way, shouting "He Yanxi is dead" all the way. Soon, He Jun's army was in chaos and the disaster spread.
To the two battalions of Tang troops coming in a roundabout way.
On He Yanxi's side, he had lost an inch, and it was no longer effective to gather his troops and give orders to the soldiers.
In the Tang camp, he kept looking at the fighting situation in front of the camp. He was overwhelmed by the crowd, but the battle actually ended like this. Guo Tingwei secretly scolded He Yanxi for being useless. When he heard the Han army shouting "He Yanxi is dead", Guo Tingwei couldn't sit still.
, immediately angrily issued an order: "Leave a thousand troops to guard the camp, and the rest, follow me to fight!"
Soon, Guo Tingwei led his troops, rushed out of the camp gate, and headed towards the battlefield. Zhao Kuangyin, on his side, was always paying attention to the movements of the Tang camp. Seeing more soldiers pouring out, he decisively ordered and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and raise the flag."
,withdraw!"
Under the leadership of Zhao Kuangyin, the surviving Han soldiers turned and rushed towards the south. The Tang soldiers in the chaotic battle were unable to stop them at all. They could only watch the Han army break away and turn to the west, leaving a mess behind.
Guo Tingwei arrived with his army and saw that the Han army was gone. He had no choice but to calm down the chaos and gather his soldiers with a livid face.
"The Han army has escaped! Chase me!" At this time, He Yanxi, who had barely survived Zhao Kuangyin's sword, jumped out under the guard.
Although he straightened his armor, he was still in a state of embarrassment, and his face was full of shame and anger.
"No chasing!" Hearing his order, Guo Tingwei sternly refused and said to He Yanxi: "The Han army came here unexpectedly, so we should go back to the camp to rest first!"
"That Zhao Kuangyin is so rampant and treats me as nothing, how can we tolerate him!" He Yanxi said angrily: "If he retreats when he sees that I am powerful, he will flee like a wolf and dog in embarrassment! We should gather heavy troops and annihilate him!"
Guo Tingwei shook his head and opened his mouth: "No -"
Before the words were spoken, He Yanxi said forcefully: "We only have a small setback. If we let him leave, how can we face the three armies?"
"Liu Du's deployment has made great achievements in Anyuan, defeated the Han army's forward, and marched into Shouchun. We are in the north, how can we miss this opportunity?"
"Follow me!" After saying this, regardless of whether Guo Tingwei agreed or not, he immediately led his army to pursue him.
Guo Tingwei clutched the sword tightly. He really had the urge to chop He Yanxi with the sword. It was too much trouble for the imperial court to send these guards...
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" All the troops were taken away by He Yanxi in the name of the governor, and one of his subordinates asked in command.
"Follow us! Just in case something unexpected happens!" Guo Tingwei had no choice.
On Zhao Kuangyin's side, after getting out of the battle circle, he ordered his soldiers to slow down, both as a temptation and to rest.
"Your Majesty, the Tang army is catching up!"
Looking back to visit, he saw that the Tang army had moved and followed them. Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that if the Tang army was hurt by the beating just now, he would retreat to the camp wall if he was scared.
This tactic of luring the enemy is indeed not easy to grasp. If the enemy does not fall into the trap, he has no other choice.
"Send the order to evacuate to Tushan. Along the way, throw away some flags and soldiers' armor!" Another order was given, and Zhao Kuangyin led his men to hoist the pursuing Tang army as if they were marching.
Following him, He Yanxi saw the gradually shortening pursuit distance and didn't think much about it. When he saw the military flags and armor battles discarded by the Han army, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the left and right: "After all, the Han army is outnumbered and there is no way to defeat them."
If you dare to challenge our thousands of troops, you are fleeing in haste!"
Immediately, the order was given to speed up the pursuit.
Just like that, they escaped calmly and pursued impatiently. The distance of less than ten miles passed by in a blink of an eye. However, under the leadership of He Yanxi, the Tang army broke into the ambush of the Han army. They endured the cold and waited for a long time.
The party came forward and immediately led their men to attack from both sides. Zhao Kuangyin also turned around to fight back.
The Tang army was disturbed by last night, had a battle early in the morning, had a small breakfast, and had to chase for ten miles. It was already hungry and exhausted. How could it be an opponent of the Han army, which was well prepared and waiting for work.
In the Battle of Wukou, Zhao Kuangyin used a simple and classic method of luring the enemy into an ambush, defeating more with less, and completely defeated the Tang Haozhou army.
