Volume 2: Looking to Chang'an Chapter 50: Capture the general and the defeated army Hu Qi fled

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Anxi cavalry rushed towards them, without giving Cai Xide any more time to react, they broke into Cai Xide's cavalry. Before charging into the formation, the Anxi cavalry managed to shoot two rounds of crossbows, and then the cavalry attacked them brazenly.

    How could the Yan Shen Army withstand the impact of Li Qi's cavalry when they didn't even have their formation in order? The Anxi cavalry easily broke into the opponent's cavalry almost as soon as they came into contact with it. There was no decent resistance at all. The Yan Shen Army  They are the most elite troops under An Lushan, but they are all in shock after the new defeat. They have not eaten since morning and are simply hungry, tired and afraid.

    Li Qi felt that these Anlushan's elite cavalry had little fighting power. The Anxi cavalry naturally had no other ideas. The soldiers who rushed into the enemy's formation waved their weapons and killed the resisting enemy soldiers one by one.  Dismount, the cavalry in front push the horse forward as much as possible while slashing, to penetrate deeper into the enemy formation and leave space for the comrades behind.

    Only a quarter of an hour into the battle, the Anxi cavalry had penetrated the entire formation of the Yan Shen Army. The Anxi cavalry emerging from the rear formation turned around again, accelerated, and charged again. The Yan Shen Army was gone.

    There were already soldiers of the Yan Shen Army who just hit their horses and ran away, and some began to surrender. These soldiers of the Yan Shen Army simply threw away their weapons, raised their hands high on their horses, and shouted that they surrendered.

    Seeing such surrendered soldiers, the Anxi Army did not kill them. They crossed over and directly attacked the enemies who still had weapons in their hands. Soon, many soldiers of the Yan Shen Army were surrendering in order to save their lives. The surrender trend became larger and larger.

    It¡¯s not that the Yan Shen Army¡¯s will is not strong enough, it¡¯s just that the infantry led by Li Zuoguo dealt a huge blow to them, and their morale almost fell to the bottom. The killings of the terrifying firearms made every soldier of the Yan Shen Army feel frightened. Anyone who saw them jumping around with them  If any of his comrades were turned into minced meat on the ground amid the roar, they would have a nervous breakdown, not to mention that many of the Yan Shenjun soldiers had the flesh and blood of their former comrades on their bodies.

    No matter how strong a soldier is, as long as his spirit is broken, he will be forgiven for surrendering without the intention of fighting to the death. As more and more soldiers surrendered, Li Qi, who originally thought there would be a big battle, was very surprised, but after long experience  Li Qi, who was on the battlefield, would not make any mistakes. He commanded the Anxi cavalry to start dividing the opponent. The surrendered cavalry were escorted directly outside. When they arrived outside the formation, they directly asked the surrendered soldiers to dismount and kneel on the ground.

    The escaping Yan Shen Army was even simpler. They separated out into more than 30 squads and relied on their horses to bully the enemy. Those who had run out of power could hardly run away. Those who wanted to run when they heard the pursuers were coming were shot directly. The Yan Shen Army had more than 20,000 troops.  Like a snow lion melting into fire.

    Cai Xide was still charging with the horizontal sword held high in his hand, but soon he and his two thousand soldiers could no longer charge. Cai Xide, who was surrounded by his soldiers, heard a series of screams of his own soldiers being killed in a deadly battle, and then left and right  The soldiers were getting closer and closer to Cai Xide. Cai Xide knew that it was impossible to break through without looking at him.

    The Anxi Army had long noticed this elite-looking cavalry, and its armor was obviously very sophisticated. Several cavalry units invariably set their sights on Cai Xide. Several cavalry captains who commanded the troops knew that this was a big fish.

    These cavalrymen surrounded Cai Xide's soldiers. No matter which direction they tried to break out, they would immediately attack them head-on. Once they stopped and stood still, they would pounce on and kill dozens of people, just like a pack of wolves dealing with their prey.  Being bitten off a large piece of flesh and bleeding can also kill the prey.

    "General, later I will take my men to break out of the siege to the east regardless of casualties. Uji will take advantage of the Anxi army to surround us and protect the general to break out to the north. There is still a way to survive if we go north into the mountains." Wu Mo, Cai Xide's general, grabbed him.  Cai Xide said, and at the same time he pulled off Cai Xide's cloak without any reason, and exchanged helmets with Cai Xide. Wu Ji is Wu Mo's younger brother. Both brothers are highly skilled in martial arts. They have followed Cai Xide for eight years. Wu Mo wants to use  Li Daitao came to exchange for Cai Xide's chance of survival.

    While Cai Xide was still struggling, Wu Mo shouted: "General, never let the death of the last general be in vain." He put Cai Xide's cloak on his body and shouted: "Come out with me."

    He led the remaining one thousand or so soldiers and rushed eastward. Wu Mo's younger brother Wu Ji was a rough man. He led about thirty of the most skilled cavalry to surround Cai Xide and stood still.  Ji had tears in his eyes, knowing that his brother's sudden attack was a disaster.

    As expected, the movement of more than a thousand cavalry attracted the attention of the Anxi Army. A few cavalry immediately moved forward to intercept. At this time, more than 30 soldiers were also exposed. Wu Ji fiercely urged the horses, and more than 30 cavalry came towards them.  The Anxi Cavalry Joint Unit rushed towards the gap that was exposed due to the movement. The stretched Anxi Army was really rushed out of a gap by the small but elite thirty-odd people. Cai Xide rushed out beside him.  There were only a dozen cavalry left, and Wu Ji had been slashed on the shoulder. If it weren't for the protection of the shoulder pads, his entire arm would have been cut.?.

    A dozen people rushed out only to find that the entire battlefield was almost entirely occupied by the cavalry of the Anxi Army. The Anxi Army seemed to be cleaning the battlefield, and the last ones who were still resisting were Cai Xide's soldiers.

    "Hey! There are more than a dozen here, and I, Sauri, can finally take my turn to fight." A rough voice came, speaking in Turkic dialect, and a group of about fifty cavalry galloped over and headed towards  Cai Xide's poor dozen men who had just broken out of the encirclement launched an attack without saying a word.

    Sauri was the messenger. Li Qi didn't let him rush to the front to kill the enemy, so he stayed with him. Sauri was thinking about getting a bounty for killing the enemy, and he seemed to have a small hand in his heart to catch him. Later, when Li Qi saw him, he didn't even know he was there.  There was no decent resistance and they were attacked to pieces. Sauri proposed to go to the battlefield. Li Qi agreed and sent a team of soldiers to go with Sauri to count the results and calculate the casualties. The result was just seen.  Cai Xide and his party broke out.

    Wuji's eyes were about to burst. His brother's sacrifice still could not protect the general. Wuji, who had a death wish in his heart, took a dozen soldiers to protect Cai Xide and rushed towards Sauli and the others. Fifty-two Li Qi were beside them.  The elite soldiers faced off against more than a dozen soldiers who fought hard for a long time with injuries. Is there any suspense?

    Sauri only needed one confrontation before he slashed Uji in the waist with his huge horizontal knife. Wuji used his body to protect Cai Xide. In addition to Sauri's knife, he was hit by at least three other blows.  The blood on his hands covered the armor like running water. Wu Ji was swaying on his horse. He tried his best to turn his head to look at Cai Xide: "General, Wu Ji is incompetent and cannot protect the general from breaking out"

    Speaking of this, Wuji suddenly heard a huge cheer from the Anxi army not far away: "The enemy general has been killed." Wuji opened his mouth, blood flowed out of his mouth, mixed with a weak voice: "Brother" The huge body  Slowly falling from his horse, Wu Ji died in battle.

    Cai Xide stood alone on the spot. Sauri had already surrounded him with the cavalry. Cai Xide smiled miserably and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that 60,000 cavalry would be reduced to ashes in less than two hours. I am ashamed of the Holy One." After saying this, he raised his hands.  He will kill himself with a horizontal knife.

    Cai Xide raised the sword quickly and urgently, with a strong desire to die. Seeing that General Zhengnan of Anlu Mountain was about to fall, a huge figure flew over and directly hit Cai Xide's right hand holding the sword.  Then he knocked Cai Xide off the horse, but it was Sauri who saw that Cai Xide was about to commit suicide and pounced on him. Cai Xide raised his knife and kissed his neck with his backhand. Sauri's lunge did not cut the neck with the knife.  On the cheek.

    Cai Xide's helmet belonged to Umo, not his own golden helmet that could protect both cheeks. The knife immediately opened a bloody gash on his face. Sauri knocked Cai Xide off his horse and immediately stood up with a kick.  Kicked away the horizontal knife in Cai Xide's hand, then jumped on Cai Xide, turned Cai Xide's body and pressed him to the ground, and immediately cut his hands behind his back. Sauri had tied up many cattle and sheep at home, and he was very skilled in his business.  He took out a rope and tied Cai Xide behind his back.

    Cai Xide shouted: "I am the General of Yanhuang Zhengnan, how could you do this" Before he could finish his words, Sauli pressed his face down on the muddy ground mixed with blood. The following words were directly pushed back.  Li only half-listened to and half-guessed the Chinese language, but he caught a prisoner with his own hands. He couldn't help but feel a little happy. He finally fought half the battle and didn't return empty-handed.

    However, Li Qi's guard who was accompanying Sauri heard Cai Xide's words and couldn't help being surprised. He rode in and said to Sauri in Turkic: "Sauri, put him up first."  , what kind of general he said he was just now, listening to what he said, maybe you actually captured a general from An Lushan."

    Sauri was stunned, and immediately opened his mouth so happily that it even split behind his ears. Capturing the general was a great achievement. Sauri pulled Cai Xide up from the ground, turned Cai Xide around, and said: "You  What kind of general is he?"

    As a result, Sauri and the team member were all stunned, and then burst out laughing. It turned out that Sauri pressed Cai Xide's face on the mud, and the bloody mud turned Cai Xide into a big painted face, which looked like  It was so funny that Cai Xide was so choked that his mouth was stuffed with dirt and he couldn't say a word. The two of them laughed at the sight.

    Cai Xide was so angry that his face turned green. As a general, he was actually humiliated by a small soldier. He spat out the mud in his mouth several times and yelled: "This is Cai Xide, the general of Yanzhengnan. How can you be so humiliated?"  I?"

    Sauri and the team stopped laughing and looked at each other. He was really the leader. The team had heard Cai Xide's name and knew it was a big fish, but Sauri understood "I am"  The words "general" made Cai Xide overjoyed. The wounds on Cai Xide's face were so angry that blood flowed out. He cursed again: "A scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. How dare you, a little soldier, humiliate me? I, the majestic General Yan, even  He was also a general when he was captured.I will definitely ask your Lord to take your lives.  "

    Cai Xide thought that even if he was captured, he would still be an important person. The Anxi army commander would definitely be able to tell the importance of the lives of a few soldiers and the information he had in his hands. Now Cai Xide was furious and thought that if he could kill the Sasha in front of him, he would be able to tell the difference.  Uri and the two of them can do whatever they want on their own.

    "You want to kill someone after being a prisoner? Man said that you, a general who conquered the south, even An Lushan, cannot be compared with the life of any soldier under my command. You can die if you want. The generals we killed were of higher status than you.  There are so many, can you compare with Guo Ziyi? Or can you compare with Li Guangbi?" A cold voice came, like a basin of cold water poured on Cai Xide's head.

    Li Qi came over in person, and happened to hear Cai Xide cursing, so he sarcastically said, "General." The team leader and Sauri both beat Li Qi's chest and performed a military salute. Li Qi nodded and turned to Cai Xide.

    Looking at Cai Xide's appearance, Li Qi couldn't help but want to laugh, but he held it back and turned to Sauri and said: "You guys are a little lucky. Luo Lie and the others fought hard to kill a fake, but you captured the real one."  Yes, this military achievement, tsk tsk tsk!¡±

    Li Qi looked at Sauri and saw Sauri showing an honest smile. He shook his head and said, "Send General Zhengnan to the young guard. After cleaning the battlefield, two thousand people will be left to guard the prisoners. We will immediately  Let¡¯s go and test An Qingxu¡¯s fighting ability.¡±

    Li Qi had just turned his horse to leave when he suddenly remembered something, stopped and said, "Wash his face before sending him to the young guard, and treat the wounds on his face. After all, he is a general conquering the south."

    Li Zuoguo's infantry soon arrived at the place where Li Qi defeated Cai Xide. After receiving the prisoners, they continued to march to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an. Chang'an City was already in sight.

    At this time, An Qingxu lost his temper in the camp: "You idiot Cai Xide, 60,000 cavalry were beaten and almost wiped out. How can we fight? Now Li Zuoguo's troops far exceed ours, so we have to withdraw to Tongguan."  ¡±

    It turned out that Cai Xide's cavalry was not completely wiped out after all. Some fish that slipped through the net still escaped. When An Qingxu heard that almost all the 60,000 cavalry in front were wiped out, he felt as if a hole had been poked in his chest, and all his courage and bold words were gone.  This hole was exposed, and he immediately ordered the rear army to change from the front army to the rear army and return to the east gate camp of Chang'an. The 20,000 cavalry left by Cai Xide served as the rear and quickly returned to the camp.

    Li Qi brought the Anxi cavalry over, but saw that An Qingxu's infantry had retreated to the main camp, and there were still 20,000 cavalry. Li Qi did not attack, but only monitored An Qingxu's troops from a distance. An Qingxu did not dare to go out at this time.  The camp invites a battle.

    After An Qingxu finished speaking, he turned to a general, clasped his fists and said: "King Jin, our cavalry has basically been lost now. The Yan Shen Army only has 10,000 people left in my hands. Although the best way to fight now is to retreat to Tongguan, but  Now we only have 20,000 cavalry, which cannot stop the harassment of the Anxi cavalry. As long as the Anxi cavalry entangles us and their infantry keeps up with the attack, they are likely to be defeated. Without these troops in hand, Tongguan will be difficult to defend. Please  King Jin, please think twice.¡±

    This man is Zeng Pei, the captain of the Yan Shen Army who returned. At this time, he only has 10,000 combat-effective cavalry left in his hands. The combat effectiveness of the other 10,000 Hu cavalry is much lower. Zeng Pei is also a member of the battlefield.  Although the veteran general is only thirty-seven years old, he has been in the army for nearly twenty years. An Qingxu still takes his words seriously.

    An Qingxu asked: "What should we do now?"

    Zeng Pei said: "The only plan for now is to rely on the big camp to hold on here, and at the same time, immediately notify the Holy One and ask the Holy One to mobilize troops for reinforcements. We can still confront the Anxi army by relying on the camp defense in the camp. No matter whether it is a battle or a battle, we will leave the camp."  The Anxi Army will not let us go even if they retreat."

    An Qingxu was silent for a moment, his face turned pale, and he nodded feebly and said: "Well, send out the messenger immediately, tell the father about the situation here, and ask the father to send troops, we will camp and wait for reinforcements."

    An Qingxu thought that he led the troops to attack Chang'an with high spirits, but half of the army was wiped out by the Anxi army with a single blow. It was still the most elite cavalry unit. Even if An Lushan could go back safely this time, An Lushan would probably be disappointed.  He will not let him go. You must know that An Lushan, an elite of the Yan Shen Army, only has 40,000 people. Twenty thousand people have been killed in this moment. Even An Lushan's son will probably shed his skin even if he is not dead, let alone An Lu.  Yamamoto's temper became increasingly violent after his eyesight failed.

    Thinking of this, An Qingxu's face turned even paler, and he waved his hands feebly and said, "Go down and prepare for defense. Strengthen the camp wall to prevent Anxi's army from easily attacking."

    The generals below all looked ugly, especially the tribal generals. After the 50,000 tribal soldiers fought, only Lin Hu's 10,000 cavalry and several thousand wounded soldiers in the camp were left. Several warriors from small tribes had been killed.  After all were wiped out, most of the men in the tribe on the grassland were dead, so this was announced.The tribe is doomed, and the tribe whose strength has been greatly reduced will definitely be annexed by other tribes.

    I originally thought I was here to make a fortune when I came to attack Chang'an, but now I found out that I was here to lose my life. It is okay to make a fortune by following An Lushan, but these barbarians stopped doing it by following An Lushan. After leaving the camp, there were only a few barbarian generals left.  Just walked together.

    "Jiadulu, you only have 10,000 soldiers in your hands now, and we only have a few thousand wounded soldiers in our hands. This battle really broke our muscles and bones." The leader of the Xi tribe was named Black Mountain by Anlu Mountain.  General Tatourt said to Jiadulu, the leader of the Linhu tribe who still maintains a complete combat strength of 10,000.

    Jiadulu's eyes flashed and he said to Tatourt: "What else can you think of? Follow King Jin and Li Zuoguo to fight to the death and wait for help."

    Tatourt saw that Jiadulu refused to tell the truth, so he had to say: "Can you with ten thousand people resist the Anxi army that defeated the Yan Shen Army? Jiadulu, let me tell you the truth, our Xi tribe is here  Several tribes within the tribe don't want to continue the fight. If this continues, there will only be casualties and no gains. There are not many adult men in our tribe. If this continues, the tribe will be exterminated. We plan to leave together those who can ride a horse tonight. If you want to stay, you can stay.  ."

    Jiadulu laughed and said: "Are there many warriors in our Linhu tribe? Our tribe's warriors have died the most so far. King Jin does not regard us as his own, and I will not accompany him to death here. He has to leave.  Just go together, with my ten thousand soldiers taking care of you, you can also take away a few more wounded soldiers."

    Tatourt was overjoyed: "Brother Jiadulu, it's great that you did this. How can we leave?"

    Jiadulu sneered and said: "Tonight we just opened the camp gate and went east. There are not many defenders in Tongguan. We took the food and grass we needed at Tongguan and went directly north back to the prairie. We will leave the matter of resisting the Anxi Army here.  Give it to King Jin, anyway, we have already killed enough people under Chang'an City. If we have to deal with the Anxi Army, even Anlu Mountain can't spare the troops to deal with us, right?"

    Tatourt slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, let's do it. Don't blame us for King Jin's unkindness. We'll leave tonight."

    That night, 14,000 tribal warriors secretly opened the camp gate and fled. More than 4,000 slightly injured tribal warriors also endured the pain and followed on horseback. A thousand more wounded soldiers were left behind. Hu soldiers first looted An Qingxu's army in Weinan.  After hoarding the food and grass there, they directly opened the gate of Tongguan. Inside Tongguan, they plundered and opened the gate on the east side before leaving. Instead of leaving Luoyang, they headed north back to the grassland.

    When An Qingxu learned that there was no way to recover from this, he was so angry that he killed several chamberlains who served him. Now the morale of An Qingxu's men was even lower. An Qingxu did another stupid thing. He ordered the Hu people to be detained.  They killed all the more than a thousand wounded soldiers. This cruel approach made all the soldiers in the camp unwilling to fight to the death.

    An Qingxu no longer had the troops to send out to chase the fleeing Hu people, because just under the east gate of Chang'an City, Li Zuoguo's Anxi army gathered, with swords and guns like a forest, flags like clouds, and iron armor reflecting the cold light. With the power of victory, the Anxi army was high in morale and appearance.  At its peak, people gathered under the city of Chang'an.

    After all, Li Zuoguo's soldiers marched a long distance and fought a battle. Li Zuoguo was not in a hurry to attack An Qingxu and directly set up camp less than five miles in front of An Qingxu's camp. The 30,000 cavalry were divided into a thousand men.  One group took turns to leave camp and show off their power around Anqingxu Camp. Even at night, they ran around the camp with torches.

    Li Zuoguo used the cavalry to intimidate An Qingxu, that is, he directly told An Qingxu not to think about retreating. The Anxi cavalry was more elite than the Yan Shen Army. Now it even exceeded the number. It was even more impossible to let An Qingxu's army go. An Qing  The army in Xu's hands already accounts for most of An Lushan's current strength. As long as it is eaten, An Lushan's arrogance will be destroyed by most of it.

    Li Zuoguo is now very relaxed, as long as he can keep An Qingxu's army. Li Hu has also gone to cut off An Lushan's retreat. When the time comes, An Lushan can only guard Luoyang and wait for death. An Lushan had no foresight when he raised his army.  He was arrogant and cautious all his life and could not hold back once he gained power. He often raided and pillaged wherever the army passed by. In this way, although a lot of places were conquered, as long as there were officials who stepped forward, the conquered states would be conquered.  The county often rebelled again, which also dispersed part of An Lushan's troops, making it easier for Li Zuoguo to handle.

    Now Li Zuoguo has not proclaimed himself emperor like An Lushan. In the eyes of many officials, he is far less hateful than An Lushan. However, Li Zuoguo is also a rebel now, and the difference between him and An Lushan is only fifty steps and one hundred steps.  , but in the eyes of the people, Li Zuoguo's army was unfailing and a very popular army. Li Zuoguo did not safely use the original local officials, but tried his best to use the talents he had cultivated. If it was not possible, he would use his own people.  The deputy position is to monitor the chief officer, so the occupied area in the rear is much more stable than Anlu Mountain.

    This time Li Zuoguo was determined to defeat An Qingxu¡¯s army, which was quiteAs a result, half of An Lushan's skill was wasted. Li Zuoguo slept very soundly that night. Chang'an Li Zuoguo came back again. This time, his identity was not the little general he was before.

    But An Qingxu couldn't sleep at all. An Qingxu thought he was a fearless and wise leader, but when the Anxi army, which had defeated countless opponents, actually came in front of him, An Qingxu flinched after taking a look at Li Zuoguo's army.  After returning to his camp, he shivered with his defeated soldiers who had faced the Anxi Army. The mood of failure had spread in the An Qingxu camp.
