Chapter seven hundred and ninety-eight what is the oriole behind
"The Xuanwu Cannon is indeed a good thing. If I return such a good thing to Li Siye, I will be a fool!"
Shi Siming laughed loudly again, and he led the Khitan and Luo cavalry to charge towards the Tang army, directly towards the formation of the Hedong army, which was in disarray.
Li Guangbi was already furious. He held a horsewhip in his hand and ordered the soldiers to stabilize their position and bear the pressure of Luo Qidan's cavalry. He glared at the Xuanwu cannon being loaded in the distance and said angrily: "Li Siye has already ran to surrender the rebels."
, What kind of sweet dream did Guo Ziyi have that she would believe such a person!"
Guo Ziyi suddenly led a part of the cavalry of the Shuofang Army to block the Luo Qidan cavalry. The infantry of the Shuofang Army formed a formation in front of the Hedong Army. He temporarily increased the gap between the infantry. This is currently the only way for the infantry formation to deal with artillery.
Shi Siming led the cavalry back, raised his whip and pointed it at Yan Xiaosi and asked angrily: "Why don't you fire?"
"The shells have been fired, and there are only two rounds of powder."
"Fart!" He struggled to drag this heavy artillery battalion with men and oxen to the battlefield. You actually told me that I can only fight two rounds?
"Li Siye, let's wait and see. Once I've taken care of these Tang Jun bastards, I'll take care of you."
"The infantry pressed forward, and the Tongluo cavalry attacked in a roundabout way." He ordered his general Xiang Runke to lead the infantry formation to confront the enemy head-on. The two sides fired at each other with strong bows and crossbows, and the Tongluo cavalry once again launched a charge towards the left flank of the Tang army. Hedong
The cavalry pieced together by the Shuofang army and the Shuofang army confronted them head-on. Pugu Huai'en held an iron halberd and charged at each other with the enemy's cavalry.
Yu Chaoen, who was watching the troops watching Rong Xuanwei depose the commander, was frightened from behind and almost turned around and ran for his life.
The two sides entered a stalemate stage. Shi Siming had not yet sent all his troops forward. He ordered Xue Song to lead some of them to stay behind and face the battle formations of both sides. He was still worried that Li Siye would steal his back.
But at the most critical stage of the battle, having more strength means getting closer and closer to victory. What worries him even more is Fan Yang's lair. If Li Siye leads the entire army north, Beizhou may not be able to hold on for too long.
.If he loses to the Tang army in Anyang County, the final result may be that he will be homeless. His Youzhuo Prefecture has millions of stones of grain and grass and a large amount of gold and silver. Once it falls into the hands of Li Siye
, there will be no chance of a comeback.
When the war progresses and you need to choose one of the two, hesitation will only lead to defeat. There is still half a chance of getting the correct answer.
The great sage Zhou Wang Shi Siming finally made up his mind and ordered Xue Song to lead his troops into battle, betting all his wealth on it, just like a gambler's stud.
Suddenly a fierce wind blew up, sweeping from the northwest to the southeast. The Tang army's camp was instantly in chaos. Guo Ziyi's banner was blown down by the strong wind. Several soldiers hurriedly gathered around, but more generals
The flag was blown down by the wind and fell into the Anyang River.
"Kill!" Shi Siming personally raised his sword and attacked the Tang army with the wind. Together with the Luo Qidan cavalry, they directly broke through the Tang army's front formation of the Chinese army from the side. The infantry formation pressed forward across the line to pursue and kill.
The Tang army was defeated across the board, and the Nine Jiedushi were divided into nine groups and fled in different directions. Shi Siming ordered the entire army to pursue for thirty miles and then retreat. He proudly looked back towards the direction of Weizhou. It seemed that Li Siye would not come. If he wanted to make a sneak attack,
, isn’t it the best time to take advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides?
He suddenly turned his gaze to the north, and another gust of wind blew fiercely. Fierce smoke and dust rolled up on the horizon. The red flag was like a stream of light falling on the ground. The smoke and dust were the dust stepped by the cavalry. The Flying Tiger Cavalry was like a three-pronged sword.
The halberds came towards the battlefield from three directions.
Shi Siming's enthusiastic smile froze on his face, and the next moment he shouted out loud: "Quickly, gather the formation again!"
The rebel cavalry has charged five or six miles away, and the front infantry formation has also changed into a long snake formation. This formation is the most effective when chasing and defeating the enemy, but the need to change the formation is disastrous.
as a result of.
His Chinese army's formation immediately turned around and changed its formation to meet the enemy, but the first cavalry of the Feihu Cavalry led by Li Chongbao had already arrived, rushing to the front with a horse in hand, piercing the Chinese army like a sharp arrow.
The horizontal formation was cut through in an instant. Then the second cavalry, led by Bai Xiaode, rushed directly into the enemy's formation.
If an adult can only collapse in an instant, no matter how mature the army is, it can also happen in an instant. By the time Li Siye led the third cavalry to attack, Shi Siming's central army had begun to collapse. Only his relatives
More than 3,000 cavalry guards guarded his left and right sides.
Li Siye's two thousand cavalrymen who were mixed in with the rebels quickly took out white silk from their arms and knotted it around their arms to distinguish ourselves from the enemy. Li Siye gave them orders to eradicate all Tang troops and rebels on the battlefield, except those who surrendered. Fei
Tiger Cavalry immediately began to attack the rebels who had just fought alongside him, as fast as lightning and as powerful as a mad tiger, without even giving them time to react.
The entire battlefield in Xiangzhou was in chaos. The rebels were still chasing the Tang army, and the Hexi army was chasing the rebels. When the Tang army saw the Hexi army chasing them, they thought they had turned defeat into victory, and actually organized a counterattack, only to be defeated again.
Li Chongbao performed particularly bravely in this battle. He held a hard eucalyptus horned bow, rode on horseback and drew the bowstring to the full without missing any arrows. He also held a horse spear and stabbed and killed more than a dozen enemy generals, including rebels and Tang soldiers.
.
The main goal of Bai Xiaode, who led another cavalry group, was to pursue Shi Siming. The great sage King Zhou scolded him as he ran away on horseback: "What a despicable person! I have lied to you all my life. I finally believed someone else once, and I was deceived so miserably!"
While escaping, he did not forget to say harsh words: "Li Siye, I will kill you one day."
Tian Zhen's pursuit caused Shi Siming to send out tooth soldiers to resist. By the time he ran out of Xiangzhou and reached Mingzhou, there were only a few hundred people left around him.
The military governors of the Tang army scattered and fled. Li Siye and his son continued to gather surrendered troops during the pursuit. In just one day, more than 40,000 people surrendered, which rapidly expanded his strength.
Tian Zhen, who was pretending to attack Beizhou, led the artillery battalion and the rest of the Anxi Army to retreat to Weizhou. Li Siye also stopped expanding the victory and retreated to Ye City. There is another fruit of victory that the two sides have been fighting for for a long time, and that is An Qing Xuyi who was trapped in Ye City.
Man. Because this chaotic battle made it impossible for them to judge who won the victory. It was not until Li Siye's banner was flying under the city that An Qingxu accepted this cruel fact and led his troops out of the city to surrender.
There are still more than 10,000 An Qingxu rebels remaining in the city. They are already hungry and dressed in rags, but An Qingxu himself is still white and strong. He has a white turban on his head and a yellow robe. He is carrying a coffin cart out of the city.
Surrender. Behind him are a number of capable officers and generals from the Yan Kingdom, including Gao Shang Yanzhuang, the right-hand man who inspired An Lushan to rebel, and the generals Cui Qianyou and An Shouzhong who defeated Tongguan. Tian Chengsi and Li Guiren are already in the city.
He fled to the north before breaking through.
An Qingxu knelt down in front of Li Siye's horse, raised the white silk in his hand and read a letter of surrender, and read loudly: "The Holy Tang Dynasty is so graceful that the guilty minister, together with the people in the city and his subordinates, surrendered to Lieutenant Li. May the Taiwei have mercy on the guilty minister.
Pray for life.”
Well, An Qingxu's surrender was as good as that of Emperor Min of Jin. Li Siye got off his horse, pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, picked An Qingxu's letter of surrender on the tip of the knife, and pointed it at a burning stake to burn it.
ash.
The ministers kneeling behind An Qingxu looked up and stared in surprise, then hurriedly knelt down again.
Li Siye chuckled and said: "I do not represent the court now, only myself. Let these people be imprisoned for observation. The rest of the troops will be disrupted and reorganized into our army."
