Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 299 Retreat and Attack
Under the pressure of Li Fei's absolute strength and Linghu Chao's incompetence, the [-] rebels collapsed and surrendered so quickly.As for the price Li Fei paid, there were only a dozen casualties of Anton's iron cavalry, and only six of them were directly killed in battle. This loss is negligible.

In addition, there are more than 27 stones of grain stored in Shan County, which is enough to feed 10 people for about four months.

When the number was just counted, Li Fei was also very surprised.

The rebels who attacked Suiyang only had about [-] soldiers, so they couldn't use so much food.But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's already in Li Fei's hands now, the more the better.

"Without food, Yang Chaozong should evacuate!" Li Fei laughed.

Immediately, Li Fei deliberately released a hundred rebel prisoners to the rebel camp under Suiyang City, and asked them to tell all the rebel soldiers there the news.

Just as Li Fei predicted, as soon as the news reached the rebel camp under Suiyang City, all the rebel camps in the entire rebel camp were in disarray, and no longer had any intention of attacking Suiyang City.

Yang Chaozong was so angry that he cursed Linghu Chao as a waste.He gave Linghu Chao an army of [-], and it's fine if he couldn't bring the food and grass. He even lost Shanxian County. It was not only the rations of his army, but also some of them were going to Luoyang, and now they are all gone. Well, His Majesty still doesn't know how to blame him.

"No, we must find a way to retake Shan County!" Yang Chaozong's face was gloomy. Now the army only has enough food and grass to last for another two days. more important.

Today, Yang Chaozong still has [-] troops in his hands. He doesn't have much confidence in taking Suiyang City guarded by Zhang Xun in a short time, but he is still full of confidence in taking back Shan County.

Immediately, Yang Chaozong ordered to suspend the attack on Suiyang City, and the army retreated to retake Shan County instead.

Suiyang City Wall.

Zhang Xun watched the movement in the anti-army camp with a telescope.

"My lord, you are so predictable that the rebel army is really going to retreat!" A lieutenant beside Zhang Xun said to Zhang Xun with admiration.

As early as the first batch of anti-army grain and grass was intercepted by Li Fei, Zhang Xun waited and watched the movement of the anti-army army in the anti-army camp, estimated the consumption of the anti-army grain and grass, etc., and learned from various analysis that the grain and grass of the anti-army appeared. question.

"The new emperor ascended the throne in Lingwu. It should be that the new emperor sent a support army to Suiyang, and the reinforcements looted the food roads of the rebel army, or even captured the place where the rebel army stored food and grass. It will be like this reaction at this moment." Zhang Xun watched the [-] rebel army leave the camp yesterday and has not returned yet, and the rebel army is suddenly so chaotic and ready to retreat, so he analyzed it directly.

"It's a pity that we don't know the specific movements of the reinforcements. Otherwise, we should secretly lead the army out of the city, kill the rebels once, and inflict heavy damage on the rebels, so that the rebels will not dare to threaten Suiyang again in a short time!" Zhang Xun sighed.

I have to say that Zhang Xun is really not an ordinary person. He only observed the movement of the rebels through a telescope, and he guessed most of the matter. He only almost guessed wrong, that is, Li Fei was not sent by the new Emperor Suzong. The new Emperor Suzong is now focused on how to regain Guanzhong and Chang'an City, but he has never thought of the importance of the little Suiyang, let alone sending reinforcements here, it really has such power , but also to find a way to transfer to Lingwu or attack Guanzhong and Chang'an City.

On a high slope in the distance, Li Fei sat on his horse and watched Yang Chaozong and other rebels slowly withdraw from the camp indifferently.

"When the rebel army forms a long line, first cut the rebel army into three sections, then attack the front army of the rebel army with five thousand cavalry, attack the rear army of the rebel army with five thousand cavalry, and attack the rest with me Where is the army commander." Li Fei ordered.

"Follow the order!" All the generals immediately went down to prepare.

Yang Chaozong's 4 rebels, only the most elite [-] soldiers of the Chinese army can be regarded as orderly, and the more than [-] ordinary soldiers before and after are very chaotic, and the morale of each of them is very low.In addition to the fact that Suiyang was not broken for a long time, but suffered heavy casualties, but also because the food road was cut off, and even the single county where the food was stored was lost, these newly recruited ordinary anti-army soldiers had nothing to do with Anlu Mountain Loyalty can be said, most of the reason why he became an anti-army soldier under An Lushan's command was because An Lushan and those high-level anti-army officials oppressed their families. If you can't even guarantee enough food, who is willing to work hard for An Lushan.

When the last rebel soldier also left the camp and walked about 100 meters away from the abandoned camp, the sound of rumbling iron cavalry galloping sounded.

"Enemy attack, meet the enemy!" Yang Chaozong is worthy of being a general who followed An Lushan in Youzhou and fought fiercely with the Xi and Khitan people for many years. He immediately heard the sound of galloping iron cavalry, and immediately roared and ordered to meet the enemy. .

Yang Chaozong's core strength, the [-] most elite soldiers of the Chinese Army are from the elites who went south from Youzhou City with Anlu Mountain at the beginning.

The other more than 4 ordinary anti-army soldiers were not so calm, and they all turned pale with fright and looked very flustered.

Since the ambush was not far away, Anton's iron cavalry quickly came out.

Like two sharp swords, one left and one right cut the anti-army dragon into three sections: front, middle and back.

"Hoo! Shoo!" The arrow flew, and the gleaming horse spear pierced the body of the rebel soldier, and then pulled it out violently, splashing bright red blood on the ground.

The anti-army that was cut into three sections had [-] anti-army soldiers in the front and back sections, and only [-] anti-army soldiers in the middle. However, the central army had Yang Chaozong's [-] elites who had quickly formed formations.

After cutting the anti-army long dragon into three sections, another three Anton cavalry rushed out, each 'slamming' into the anti-army.

The 5000 anti-armies in the front and back sections are Lu Xin, and Wu Sheng each led a team of [-] Anton cavalry to attack.

Although the anti-army soldiers in the front and rear sections each have a number of about [-], which is four times that of Anton's cavalry, they are all just mobs with low morale. He rushed in directly, bringing up a bloody scene, just like a flock of sheep being slaughtered by a tiger, the resistance is too weak.

"Kill!" It was Li Fei who personally commanded the one who killed the anti-army central army, and there were more than 1000 Anton cavalry.

Compared with the chaos of the anti-army soldiers in the front and rear sections, the anti-army central army has Yang Chaozong and [-] anti-army elites sitting in the fortress, it seems not so chaotic, especially the [-] anti-army elites quickly formed a formation, They can attack and defend. If chaotic ordinary anti-army soldiers dare to approach their battle formation, they will also be mercilessly beheaded by them. The battle formation is the most taboo to be disturbed. , as long as the six thousand battle elites are not chaotic, Yang Chaozong still has confidence.
