Chapter 588 Decisive Battle Moment
Climbing the mountain to watch the beacon fire during the day, drinking horses and crossing the river at dusk.

Pedestrians fight in the wind and the sand is dark, and the princess Pipa has a lot of grievances.

——Excerpt from "Ancient Congjun Xing" Li Qi (Tang Dynasty)

……

The two sides fought hard until noon, and the Tang army repelled the Yan army's attacks again and again.

The Yan army suffered heavy casualties and had to call for money to withdraw.

Li Guangbi recalled the generals and said: "Like the battle of Nancheng, if we keep defending, we will not lose, but it is not easy to break through the siege of Heyang by the rebels.

I watched the formation on the tower for a long time, the rebels were unable to attack for a long time, and their morale was low.

Although the number of rebels is large, the army is disorganized and noisy, so they are not to be feared!I assure you, as long as we dare to charge, we will be able to defeat it. "

Li Guangbi didn't dare to tell the generals that the grain and grass in Heyang City were insufficient, if they were surrounded by the Yan army for a long time, once the grain ran out, Heyang would collapse without attack.

If you want to break through, it's better to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Yan army today and decide in one battle!

All the generals are also battle-tested people, knowing that the opportunity to destroy the enemy has appeared, they all agreed.

Li Guangbi then asked: "If you want to defeat the encirclement of the rebel army, you must break through from its strongest point. Where do you think the rebel army's position is the strongest?"

The general Hao Tingyu clasped his fists in a loud voice and said: "Northwest corner! If the commander gives me five hundred fine riders, I will attack the northwest by force!"

Li Guangbi shouted: "Okay! I'll give you three hundred rhinoceros troops to attack the northwest!"

The Nether Rhinoceros Armored Army is heavy armored cavalry, the elite of the Shuofang Army's elite.

This heavy armored cavalry, man and horse are all covered with armor. The whole set of armor is made of fine steel. It is thick and hard, and it is not afraid of arrows and stones. It is an invincible weapon for charging.

Building the Nether Rhino Armored Army cost a lot of money and took a very long time. With the financial resources of the Tang Dynasty, they could only equip [-] armored cavalry.

Leading the Rhinoceros Army is the supreme honor of every Shuofang general.

Hao Tingyu was overjoyed and took orders to leave.

Li Guangbi continued to ask: "What is the second stronghold of the rebel army?"

General Lun Weizhen was ahead of all the generals, stepped forward and replied: "Southeast corner!"

Li Guangbi shouted: "Okay! I'll give you two hundred rhinoceros armor troops to attack the southeast!"

……

Li Guangbi dispatched troops and generals, and after the deployment was complete, he said: "Everyone, I hope that I will order the flag to act. If the flag is waved slowly, you can decide the direction of attack by yourself;
If the flag is waved quickly and pointed down to the ground three times, the whole army will charge forward, and all the people will advance together to break into the enemy's position at all costs.

General Bai Fu, you lead fifty Mo Dao hands into the formation, if anyone retreats timidly, you can directly kill them!

Let me emphasize again, if anyone dares to run away, he will be executed according to the military law! "

……

After giving the combat order, Li Guangbi took a sharp dagger and stuck it in his boot.

Li Guangbi looked around at the generals one by one with his gaze like a torch, and said in a powerful voice, "This decisive battle to break out of the siege is extremely dangerous. As the third prince of the country, I must not die at the hands of traitors.

In case the war goes unfavorable and all the lords die in battle, I, Li Guangbi, will fight here myself, so that the lords will not die alone, but I will live alone! "

……

The drums and cannons of the North City Tower fired together, and the three city gates were opened wide. The generals of the Tang Army led their troops to battle.Tens of thousands of Tang troops roared out, rushing towards the Yan army formation like a tide.

Yan Jun didn't expect that Tang Jun would dare to give up the defensive advantage of the city wall. He was caught off guard for a while and was killed by surprise.

The two armies of Tang and Yan collided and strangled together, just like the impact of the Qiantang tide on the embankment, stirring up huge waves.

The two sides fought for less than a stick of incense, and Hao Tingyu suddenly left the battlefield one by one and galloped towards the city gate.

Li Guangbi was angry and furious, and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Once Tingyu retreats, the situation will be dangerous. Come on, pass on my general order, order General Bai Fu to take Hao Tingyu's head!"

Bai Fu swung his saber straight away, with a solemn expression on his face, he said: "General Hao, fleeing before the battle is a death penalty!"

Hao Tingyu was in a hurry, waved his hands quickly, and shouted: "General Bai, my horse's ankle was shot by a stray arrow, I'm here to change horses, not retreat!"

Bai Fu's expression softened, and he personally led the heavily armored tiger leopard to Hao Tingyu, saying: "General Hao, please return to the battlefield quickly, the battle is at a stalemate, no more mistakes are allowed!"

Hao Tingyu knew that the tiger leopard was one of Bai Fu's favorite horses, so he hurriedly cupped his fists to express his thanks.He pulled the rein, turned around and fought again, and rushed back to the front line at a fast speed.

After the herald reported back, Li Guangbi breathed a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later, another Tang army had to retreat after the Yan army's crazy counterattack.

The leading generals of this Tang army are Pugu Huai'en and Pugu's father and son.

Li Guangbi turned pale with shock, and ordered Bai Fu to go to enforce the law.

Pu Gu Huai'en and his son fought and retreated, seeing that there were still a thousand steps before they could retreat into the city.

Pugu Huai'en only heard the neighing of war horses and the ringing of luan bells in the distance. Looking up, he saw a horse galloping out of the city, with a lion helmet and silver armor, and came straight to them with a knife.

It was Bai Fu who killed the god!
Pu Gu Huai'en was terrified, and secretly said: "Bai Fu is rebellious, cruel, and has no connection with me, so it will be difficult to accommodate him at this moment!

Li Guangbi has always been at odds with him, and asking Bai Fu to come to enforce the law is to kill with a knife!
Rather than dying in the hands of Bai Fu, it is better to die in battle! "

Pu Gu Huai'en gritted his teeth, shouted loudly, reined in the reins, turned his horse's head, and led his soldiers into the enemy's formation again.

In an hour, the Tang army suffered more than half of the casualties, but the Yan army still failed to win.

During the stalemate, Li Guangbi summoned Bai Fu, and said to Bai Fu, "General Bai, the remaining five hundred rhinoceros troops are the elite that I, Li Guangbi, have suppressed.

A few days ago, I have passed on all the essentials of commanding the Rhinoceros Army to you, and now it is finally in use.

Today, I will hand them all over to you, and you will complete the final blow to break the formation!
Make it or break it!Do not let me down! "

Bai Fu deeply felt the heavy responsibility.

This charge not only related to the lives of these five hundred brothers, but also related to the fate of the entire Tang army in Heyang City.

Fighting alone, Bai Fu is not afraid of any generals, but when he is in charge of the fate of others, the pressure suddenly arises.

Li Guangbi seemed to see Bai Fu's concerns, he laughed and said: "Bai Fu, General Zhong Si never misses anyone, and I, Li Guangbi, are the same!
You can bear this burden!I, Li Guangbi, believe in you! "

A warm current emerged spontaneously, Bai Fu stared at Li Guangbi, Li Guangbi's gaze was no longer sharp, it was as vast and far-reaching as the sea of ​​stars.

……

Bai Fu was wearing a soldier's armor, not afraid of arrows and stones, and his war horse Gale was also replaced with the heavy armor of a rhinoceros armor war horse.

Except for the eyes, the five hundred rhino armor warriors are protected by hard black armor.The armor is black, and against the black armored horse under its crotch, it looks like an iron cavalry from the underworld.

The tall and strong black-armored horse pawed restlessly on the ground, snorting and panting heavily.The hot air from the mouth and nose of the black-armored warhorse mixed with the cold wind, releasing clouds of water mist.

Bai Fu galloped his horse to the front of the rhinoceros army formation, and with one stroke of his spear, he shouted:

"The Rhinoceros Armor Army is the greatest glory of the Tang Dynasty, and it is a great honor for Bai to be able to live and die with all the brothers today.

The enemy in front of us used to be Fan Yang's iron cavalry who was powerful in the Tang Dynasty, but now they are jackals who killed our elders and trampled on our homeland!
Their names have been engraved on the shame stone of the Tang Dynasty, and our names will eventually be a monument of glory for generations to come!

They are dozens of times stronger than us, and a hundred times more brutal than us.

I ask you, are you afraid? "

Five hundred rhinoceros-armored cavalry raised their long spears high, stabbed obliquely towards the sky, and shouted in unison: "Don't be afraid!"

Bai Fu shouted passionately:
"Good! If we are not afraid, let them be afraid!
Hell is the destination of wolves, and our task is to send them to hell!

Let's go, brothers, let the Tang cavalry become Shi Siming's lingering nightmare! "

The rhinoceros soldiers are passionate, and everyone is willing to die for the Tang Dynasty.

"The Tang army will surely win, and the Great Tang will surely win!"

"The Tang army will surely win, and the Great Tang will surely win!"

Bai Fu galloped past the formation of the rhinoceros army, riding alone, the spear in his hand collided with the spears of the rhinoceros soldiers one by one!

The morale of the rhinoceros army is like a rainbow!The whole army is full of desire for honor!

Bai Fu reined in his horse, and Gai Feng stood up, his front hooves flying into the air, roaring and roaring.

"The yellow sand wears the golden armor in a hundred battles. If you don't break Loulan, you will never return it!"

Bai Fuhu roared: "Brothers, the time to honor the Tang Dynasty has come, the rhinoceros army is on the attack!"

"promise!"

"Rush!"

"promise!"

　Climbing the mountain to watch the beacon fire during the day, drinking horses and crossing the river at dusk.

　　Pedestrians fight in the wind and the sand is dark, and the princess Pipa has a lot of grievances.

　　There is no city for thousands of miles in the wild clouds, and the rain and snow even connect the desert.

　　Hu Yan wailed and flew every night, and Hu'er burst into tears.

　　I heard that the Yumen Gate is still covered, so I should chase my life away.

　　Every year, the bones of war are buried outside the wasteland, and it is empty to see rose apples entering the Han family.
