Chapter 704 The Battle of Yique (Part [-])
After Qi Ashu entered a big camp of the Tang army, he hacked and killed all the way very smoothly, but not every Zhao army was like this.

Shan Xiongxin personally led 1 people around Yique City and appeared from the other side. He wanted to attack the Tang Army's middle camp and won all the battles, but he was blocked by Tang Army General Zhang Gongjin here.

The rest of the Tang army that was attacking the city during the day were exhausted, but Zhang Gongjin's army did not go into battle as a new force, so his soldiers were all full of energy. During the military discussion of setting up the camp during the day, Zhang Gongjin suggested to Ren Gui, the chief general of the Tang army, that Yi Que It is the southern gate of Luoyang. If it is lost, the Zhao army will surely counterattack and take back the city.

Although Ren Gui felt that what Zhang Gongjin said was reasonable, but this proposal was opposed by Pang Yu, Li Daliang and other generals. There was no way to do it. It was too exhausting to attack the city during the day, and the whole army had to dig the camp and keep watch at night. They are too exhausted, and it would be difficult for them to keep their soldiers on guard at night.

Seeing that her opinion was not accepted, Zhang Gongjin went back to the camp and ordered half of the soldiers to rest and the other half to put on armor as a precaution.

Zhang Gongjin ordered the whole army to prepare for battle the moment Shan Xiongxin's men appeared, and ordered the soldiers to dig a pit with a radius of ten feet in front of the big tent of the Chinese army. about.

At this time, the Zhao army had entered the Tang army's camp. Shan Xiongxin rode a bay red horse with a spear in his hand, and surrounded by soldiers on the left and right, entered Zhang Gongjin's camp.

Shan Xiongxin saw that the enemy's resistance in the Tang army's camp was weak, and he was surprised at the moment. He is also a battle-tested general, and he can judge whether the situation is abnormal at a glance.

At that moment, Shan Xiongxin shouted: "The Tang army is cheating, the former army search slowly!"

After hearing what Shan Xiongxin said, the soldiers immediately sent an order to the front army.In order to capture the general of the Tang army alive, Shan Xiongxin's former army entered the tent of the Tang army's central army. They advanced very quickly. When they heard the warning from behind, they stopped advancing immediately and the whole army stood by.

Zhang Gongjin saw that Zhao Jun hadn't fallen for the trick, and knew that the opponent had spotted him, so she immediately ordered the soldiers lying in ambush around the Chinese army's tent to counterattack and surround and annihilate Zhao Jun's vanguard who broke into the camp.

Tang Jun's ambush came out from three sides, holding torches and torches, and the Zhao Jun's forwards were already in formation, guarding the left and right with gunmen, swords and shields, and retreated.

Zhang Gongjin saw that the attack could not be stopped, so she personally went into battle with a gun and a horse to kill.The soldiers of the two armies fought fiercely in front of the large tent of the Chinese army.Just when Zhang Gongjin was about to repel Zhao Jun's forward, Shan Xiongxin slapped him on the horse, and Shan Xiongxin single-handedly picked several generals of the Tang Army.

The soldiers of Zhao Jun, who were almost desperate in the siege of the Tang army, wept with joy and shouted: "General, save me! General, save me!"

Without further ado, Shan Xiongxin led his men and horses to kill wherever the soldiers shouted, but the soldiers of the Tang army could not resist.Zhang Gongjin personally went into battle to stop Shan Xiongxin, but was also killed by Shan Xiongxin wielding a horse.

Zhang Gongjin withdrew from the battle, saw Shan Xiongxin rushing left and right, no one could beat him, and said: "I heard that Li Mi, under Wang Shichong's command, belonged to Shan Xiongxin's bravery and champion of the three armies. Seeing him today, it is true."

The soldier on the side said: "General, do you want to avoid the sharp edge?"

Zhang Gongjin said: "Don't worry, Shan Xiongxin is leading the main force. If we resist his attack, our army's central army will be safe. If we delay for a moment, our army's chances of winning will be higher by one point." At that moment Zhang Gongjin He ordered the soldiers to change formations, switch from offense to defense, and firmly resist Shan Xiongxin's 1 horses.

Zhang Gongjin and Shan Xiongxin are fighting fiercely here.On the other side, Xu Shiji also entered the Tang army's camp from the flank. Wang Bo and Meng Haigong each led their troops and besieged a Tang army's camp.The vanguard general Luo Shixin led three thousand light cavalry to rush in, and it was the barracks of Li Daliang, a general of the Tang army.

However, it is said that Li Daliang was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty, but later surrendered to Li Mi, and after Li Mi's defeat, he surrendered to Li Tang.He defended the Turks on the border, and was promoted to Sima with accumulated meritorious service. In the battle against Wang Shichong, he defeated General Wang Honglie of the Zheng Army and captured Xiangyang. It is famous.

Right now Li Daliang was appointed Governor of Anzhou by Li Yuanba for his contribution to pacifying Wang Shichong. During the Battle of Yique, his subordinates took the lead in attacking the South Gate Tower and made the first contribution to the capture of Yique.

However, it was precisely because of working too hard during the daytime battle that the soldiers were exhausted. The defensive camps were built hastily and did not follow the Tang army's regulations at all. Moreover, most of the soldiers were very tired, and there were very few soldiers on duty at night.When Li Daliang's barracks was attacked by Luo Shixin, most of the soldiers were still asleep, how could those soldiers who were on duty at night resist Luo Shixin's advance.

The gate of the camp was breached in no time, and Tang soldiers rushed out of the tents in a hurry, trampling each other in disorder, causing countless casualties.The soldiers of Zhao Jun threw the torches in their hands into the barracks one after another, burned the food, fodder, ordnance, and the Tang Army camp immediately ignited a fire.
Li Daliang led the officers and guards to call up the army again, but Luo Shixin's cavalry came like the wind. Under the overwhelming blow of arrows, the soldiers of the Tang army rushed to flee each other.

Li Daliang was furious immediately. He ordered his soldiers to organize a complete group of soldiers and horses, and raised their big shields to attack the cavalry.Seeing the cover of the shield formation, the soldiers of the Tang army who had been killed and dispersed gathered from all sides.Li Daliang placed his men and horses behind the shield formation.The Tang army suddenly snowballed and regrouped nearly a thousand troops.

With this force, Li Daliang was full of confidence to drive Zhao Jun out of the camp.

However, Luo Shixin had seen this scene, and he already had a way to defeat the enemy. He ordered [-] cavalry to divide into two groups, attracting all the way from the front, and led the way to outflank the flank, and entered the weak flank of the shield formation.

This cavalry, the horses were wrapped in leather armor, and the soldiers wore hard helmets. The equipment was equivalent to the most elite Yue knights among the Tang army's soldiers.Luo Shixin led the soldiers to kill like the wind. The soldiers on horseback let out a monstrous cry of killing, their hoofs sounded like thunder, and they trampled on.

The soldiers picked up their horses and plunged into the Tang army at once.The horses charged like bulls and the soldiers of the Tang army were pushed up one by one. The soldiers in the second row waved their horses like the wind and lashed at the Tang army's formation.

Li Daliang saw the scene, and immediately mounted his horse with his gun, and led his own troops to attack Zhao Jun's cavalry, and countercharged Zhao Jun's cavalry, trying to save the defeat.

In the dark night, surrounded by burning Tang army camps, Li Daliang rode his horse in front and shouted at the Zhao army cavalrymen who had entered the Tang army camp ahead: "Will the enemy general fight against a certain Li Daliang?"

There was a long laugh during the confrontation, and a tall and thin young man came slowly on his horse, and shouted loudly: "General Tang, look at the gun!"

"This person must be Luo Shixin. If you kill this person, Zhao Jun's morale will be severely frustrated!" The other party rode straight to kill him, Li Daliang thought so from the bottom of his heart, and he braced himself to fight.

After several shots, the horse neighed, and Li Daliang fell heavily from the horse, with blood gushing from his mouth.

Luo Shixin rode his horse and came to Li Daliang and said: "You are considered a brave general, what a pity, you will be a general in your next life, don't run into someone again!"

After speaking, Luo Shixin turned the butt of the iron gun in his hand upside down, and the barrel of the gun smashed heavily towards Li Daliang's head.

On the mountain behind Yique, looking at the sky from here, there is already a little morning light,

Tens of thousands of Tang troops lay in ambush in the mountains. The chief general of the Tang army, Li Xiaogong, and the commander of the march, Shi Lijing, sat on the mountain with solemn expressions, but they seemed indifferent to the [-] vanguard troops of the Tang army who were under the attack of the Zhao army's garrison guards and Hou Wei's two major government troops.

At this time, a soldier of the Tabai Army rushed up the mountain and reported to Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, "Commander, Chang Shi, the Zhao army attacked our army at night, and the two armies have been fighting fiercely for more than three hours. Except for the Chinese army, As well as outside General Zhang Gongjin's camp, the camps of the Front Army of the Right Wing, the Right Army of the Right Wing, the Houyu Army of the Right, the Houyu Army of the Zuoyu, and the Left Army of the Left Wing were all breached by the Zhao Army. Now the Zhao Army is besieging the camp of the Chinese Army and fighting fiercely! "

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiaogong's next commander, Sheng Yan, stood up from the mazha, clasped his fists and said: "The camp of the Chinese army is in danger, the last general begged for permission from the commander in chief to rescue the Chinese army."

Li Jing said: "No, Zhao Jun is not tired yet! Otherwise, our army will fall short if we set up an ambush here in the middle of the night. Please wait for another half an hour."

Li Xiaogong glanced at Li Jing, and said a word: "Wait!"

Xu Shiji was wearing a moon-white cloak, standing in the night wind, looking at the morning light in the sky, he knew that it would be dawn soon.

Xu Shiji said sternly: "Pass down the order, Mingjin withdraws troops!"

"But our army is almost able to capture the Tang army's central army tent!"

"Don't love to fight, Mingjin!"

Among the Zhao army, there was a clanging sound of gold. Luo Shixin, Wang Bo and other generals who were attacking the Tang army all gave up the pursuit of the Tang army without hesitation, and withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.

However, Shan Xiongxin's troops did not retreat, and the general on the side said to Shan Xiong: "It is only a short distance from breaking through the Tang army's central camp, and you have achieved full success. Why should the general be restrained by Xu Shiji!"

Shan Xiongxin listened to the general's words and said: "Although I am not reconciled, I have an appointment with Xu Shiji, and we will strike at dawn."

All the generals listened together and said: "General, the Tunwei Army is the Tunwei Army, and my Hou Weijun is the Hou Weijun. Why do you listen to his orders? Do you want to see that a night of hard work will be in vain?"

Shan Xiongxin was worried for a while, and at this moment, a flag with Tang characters was erected on the opposite side of the hill. In the morning light, the soldiers of the Tang army who were besieged all cheered when they saw it: "It's the commander, the reinforcements of the commander!" Arrived!"

On the top of the mountain, Li Xiaogong shouted to the generals: "Since Zhao Jun intends to call for gold and retreat, we can no longer hide, Master Sheng Yan!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead the troops of your headquarters, slant out from the valley, and cut off the back of the Zhao army! As long as you can persist for half an hour, it will be your first achievement."

"promise!"

"The rest of the armies follow the flag and attack!"

The left and right generals of the Tang army were ordered suddenly.

After Li Xiaogong finished speaking, Tang Jun, who had ambushed on the top of the mountain, rushed out from three sides, and charged towards Zhao Jun all over the mountains and plains.
