——Excerpt from Zhu Dunru (Northern Song Dynasty)
……

In March of this year, when the time was right, Shi Siming personally led a large army to the city of Ye, posing for a decisive battle with the Tang army.

On the sixth day of March, Tang Jun and Shi Siming fought a decisive battle outside Yecheng.

All 60 Tang troops on foot and cavalry were dispatched to form formations on the north bank of the Huan River that flows through Yecheng.Since there is no unified command and dispatch by the commander, the nine Jiedu envoys can only arrive in order according to the distance of their respective barracks and positions.

Guo Ziyi suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked Yu Chaoen for instructions to mobilize the army and re-arrange the formation: let the Shuofang army take the lead in the main attack; , To ensure that the Chinese army is not chaotic; Xu Shuji, the Jiedu envoy of Huaipu, and Lu Jiong, the envoy of Huaixi Jiedu, are relatively weak in military strength, and can be used as reserve troops to stand by for reinforcements.

Yu Chaoen saw the Tang army and Yan army several times, and teased Guo Ziyi's herald: "Old Linggong is too cautious, don't be impatient. The rebels will kill themselves with eggs and stones. We are determined in the first battle of the Tang Dynasty. today."

After all, the herald was not allowed to argue, so Guo Ziyi's herald was sent back.

Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other generals were quite helpless, so they could only purge the troops in the order of their arrival at the positions, forming nine large square formations, with three rows in front, three in the back, and three rows in back.

Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Army and Li Fei Yuanli's Anxi Army were originally the best frontier troops in field warfare, but because the barracks were far away from the position, they were stuck in the middle of the nine square formations.Huaixi Jiedu made Lu Jiong stand in front of Guo Ziyi's Shuofang army and became the vanguard against Shi Siming.

Li Guangbi was shocked when he saw this, and said to the generals under his command: "Lu Jiong's troops are relatively weak, once they are defeated by the rebel cavalry, the remnants will overwhelm Guo Shuai's Shuofang army.

Li Feiyuanli's Anxi Army was stuck between the nine formations. It could neither use the strength of the Modao Army to stop the rebels' attack, nor use the cavalry to charge and defeat the rebels. carry on. "

After all, Li Guangbi adjusted the positions of the various arms in his army formation, and ordered the spear and shield soldiers to line up to prevent being charged by rebels or friendly troops; he ordered the cavalry to protect the left and right wings to prevent the formation from being scattered. Quickly retreat.

Yu Chaoen sits in the middle army, and the military officer behind him makes the banner flutter in the wind.Yu Chaoen held a saber, sat on the horseback, and looked around the front and back of the army formation.I saw 60 Tang troops majestic, with bright armor, swords and guns everywhere, swords like snow, shields like walls, soldiers and soldiers, and horses neighing.

Yu Chaoen was so unhappy, he thought to himself: "As the saying goes, a general is mighty and mighty, and he is talking about today's scene. When I wipe out the rebels and make great military achievements, Li Fuguo will have to walk backwards when he sees me. "

Thinking of the scene of Li Fuguo flattering her in the future, Yu Chaoen is very unhappy.

Looking at Shi Siming's handsome flag from a distance, Yu Chaoen said in his heart: "I don't know if Shi Siming knows about my secret refuge in Anlu Mountain? In order to prevent future troubles, neither this person nor An Qingxu can be kept alive.

However, the Yan army cannot be completely wiped out, and some remnants have to be left behind.Among the servants and eunuchs, I am the only one who is well versed in the art of war.As long as the rebel army survives for a day, I will be able to hold military power for one more day, as the saying goes: Raise the bandits to be self-respecting!

When the time comes, select some generals who are loyal to me from the army, and persuade His Majesty to command the Imperial Army.

At that time, the power of the ruling and opposition forces will be controlled by me alone, to deter all officials, and to coerce the emperor to command the princes! "

……

While Yu Chaoen was thinking about it, the drums on the opposite side burst out, and the gate of the Yan Army's camp opened wide, and finally came out!

Shi Siming led only [-] elite cavalry to fight.

Seeing that there were fewer rebels out to fight, Tang Jun thought that it was not Shi Siming's main force, but just reinforcements, and he suddenly underestimated the enemy.

If the main force of the rebel army attacks, the Tang army’s usual strategy for dealing with the barbarian cavalry is: first use crossbows to attack the enemy from a long distance; The gaps in the shield form a spear formation, borrowing the opponent's horsepower, and penetrate the horse's belly; after the barbarians fall off the horse, the fish scale formation is removed, and then the cavalry's wings are outflanked, and the sword and shield infantry fight head-on, strangling the enemy.

The Tang Army's front army has three major formations, and the total strength of infantry and cavalry is 15, three times that of the enemy.

Seeing that there were few Hu cavalry and the lone army went deep, Huapu Jiedu envoy Xu Shuji and Huaixi Jiedu envoy Lu Jiong ordered the former army to withdraw their spears and shields, waved their command flags, and mobilized cavalry on both wings to outflank them, forming a pincer-shaped offensive, trying to encircle them. , Eat it in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the Tang army had fallen for the plan, Shi Siming took the lead in attacking. The cavalry who had been strolling in the garden suddenly attacked and rushed towards the Tang army with lightning speed.

The speed of Shi Siming's elite cavalry far surpassed Xu Shuji and Lu Jiong's imagination. Before the Tang Army's cavalry had time to encircle them, the Yan Army broke through several holes.

Seeing the decline of the Tang army, Li Guangbi, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong, and Wang Sili, the envoy of Zelu Jiedu, immediately mobilized cavalry to rescue them, forming a second encirclement.

The two armies beat drums to cheer, and the cavalry officers and soldiers charged bravely, and the sound of killing shook the sky.There were casualties on both sides, regardless of the outcome.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Siming frowned secretly.

Looking around the battlefield, Shi Siming caught a glimpse of Lu Jiong's handsome flag, the Jiedu envoy of Huaixi, rolled his eyes, and made another plan.

Shi Siming personally led the soldiers and went straight to Lu Jiong.Fan Yang's iron cavalry was like a wolf and a tiger, and the Huaixi Army was invincible, and was killed by Shi Siming in an instant.

Shi Siming saw that under the commander's banner, a man wearing a helmet and armor, a tall horse, surrounded by all the generals, must be Lu Jiong himself.

Shi Siming took out the carved bow and spiked arrows, stretched the bow and set the arrows, calmly, and shot one arrow, like a meteor piercing the sky, straight to Lu Jiong's face.

Shi Siming is a well-known eagle shooter in Fan Yang's army, if he shoots himself, he is sure to win.

In the army of ten thousand people, the sound of killing is loud, and the cold arrows are silent, and it is difficult for the soldiers to guard against them.When Lu Jiong found out, he was too late to dodge.Lu Jiong turned around to avoid the fatal point.

"Pfft", Shi Siming shot the mace arrow with all his strength, piercing through the bright light armor and hitting Lu Jiong's left shoulder.Lu Jiong screamed and fell off his horse.

All the soldiers rushed to rescue Lu Jiong on the horse and bandaged the wound.

With a wave of Shi Siming's hand, the herald picked up the horn and issued an order to attack with all his strength.

"Woooooooo..."

The Yan army, which scattered like a flock of geese, heard the sound of the horn, left the fighting Tang army behind, assembled quickly, and charged at the command point with all its strength.

Lu Jiong was in a coma, and led his troops to retreat hastily.

The eldest son of the Lu family of Fan Yang, General Ningyuan Lu Zi, saw Shi Siming and other Hu Qi with ferocious faces, rushing towards him, terrified, turned the horse's head first, and fled to the rear with his own parts.

Lu Jiong was in a coma, and the Huaixi Army had no leader. The escape of Ningyuan General Lu Zi immediately caused chaos in the Huaixi Army.

Tang Jun's former army suddenly collapsed and dispersed.

Just as Li Guangbi expected, Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Army was just behind Lu Jiong's troops, and before they had time to form an formation, they were thrown into disarray by the defeated troops of the Huaixi Army.

If it is an enemy army, the Shuofang army can use shields to form fish-scale formations to protect the position, and use long spears to assassinate the advancing enemy to relieve the pressure of the charge.

More and more troops were defeated by the Huaixi Army, like a mudslide sloping from the hillside, surging and full of mud and sand.As time went on, it was difficult for Shuofang's army to hold back.

The eldest son of the Zheng family in Xingyang——General Zheng Lu of Dingyuan panicked and panicked. The trilogy he led collapsed first, and the Huaixi army broke through the dam and broke through several gaps.

Guo Ziyi was in a hurry. Once the gap widened, the army formation would collapse in an instant. At that time, the army would be defeated like a mountain, and the consequences would be disastrous.

At the time of life and death, Guo Ziyi lashed the steed under his crotch, and led a team of personal soldiers to charge forward.

Guo Ziyi personally commanded, his eyes were red, he whipped Dingyuan General Zheng Lu's face, pulled his helmet off, and drew a deep blood mark on his cheek.

Guo Ziyi and his own soldiers raised their knives and cut down dozens of soldiers of the Zheng Lu tribe who had fled before they blocked the gap.Only then did Zheng Lu and the others respect Guo Shuai's military orders, and tremblingly turned their horses to face the battle.

Seeing that there is another incense stick of time, the army can be stabilized and the world can be turned around.At this moment, a vision appeared in the sky, and something unimaginable happened.

On the battlefield, a strong wind suddenly rose all over the sky, and the wind was strong, flying sand and rocks, destroying trees and trees, and the sky weakened, like dusk.

The vast dark night was approaching, and the soldiers on both sides had never seen such a vision before, and they were stunned and stopped fighting.

The soldiers at war discovered that a black shadow broke into the sandstorm and devoured the sun bit by bit. The dazzling disc of the sun turned black. Surrounding the disc was a ring of light red light, emitting white cold flame light, as if The eyes of the devil stared cruelly and coldly at all beings, strange and mysterious, chilling and creepy.

The soldier who dared to look at the eyes of the devil lost his sight instantly and became blind, covering his eyes with his hands in great pain.

In an instant, the monster cloud covered the sun, and the sun was completely swallowed up, as if night fell, and the originally clear sky suddenly became pitch black.In an instant, the sky was dark and the ground was dark, and it was impossible to distinguish the distance, like falling into an ink tank, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Just listen to the ghosts crying and howling wolves in the evil wind, miserably seeping through people.

"Tiangou eclipses the sun, ghosts descend, and evildoers appear!"

The fierce battle stopped in an instant, and the armies of both sides were terrified at the same time, and they collapsed together, ignoring the fight, and turned around and fled at the same time—the Tang army fled south, and the Yan army fled north.

The morale of the army is broken, and Guo Ziyi's prestige and decisive killing will not help.

The dam burst, and the Shuofang army was instantly overwhelmed by the Huaixi army.The rebellious army is like a flood of beasts, rolling down the torrent, engulfing them. The 60 Tang army infantry and cavalry directly rolled and collided, people and horses trampled on each other, and killed each other, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Among the chaotic army, among the nine major envoys, no one has the power to turn back the sky, and no one can turn the tide.
