After Xue Fu pacified Shangjing, he renamed Shangjing "Dingliao City" according to Zhang Mai's instruction. Although the internal facilities of Dingliao City were destroyed, the city structure was still there. Xue Fu reorganized his army and horses in Dingliao City:
With 5,000 Yingyang troops, 5,000 Murong Yang troops, and 10,000 tribal troops as the remaining troops in Dingliao, with Murong Yang as the commander, their main task is to protect Yang Yi and 20,000 wounded soldiers who are resting in this area. Continue Clean up the battlefield, suppress Linhuang Mansion, and coordinate with Chai Rong and Yelu Antuan. The remaining troops and horses were all organized into troops heading south, divided into six groups¡ª¡ª
The first group of troops going south was centered on the 3,000-blood cavalry regiment, and was equipped with 30,000 troops from the northern Mobei tribe. This group of troops had already moved south when Chai Rong had just marched eastward. The forward advance was extremely smooth, with lightning speed. With a cover-up, they captured Dading Mansion, which had just been designated as the central capital of the Liao Kingdom, and then continued southward. The purpose of this army was to open a road to seize the city, and its first task was to open a main military road to the south.
The second and third routes southward were centered on Wei Fei's Zuojian Battalion and Guo Zhang's Right Jian Battalion, each equipped with 30,000 Mobei tribesmen. On the day when the capital city was captured, Guo Zhang rushed into the city to conduct a search and rescued the imprisoned Wei Fei. Xue Fuxuan immediately ordered the Wei Fei officer to resume his duties and divided the cavalry and archery battalion into left and right again, with Guo and Wei in charge. The second wave of the army heading south advanced in two directions, echoing each other. The task of these two groups of troops is to connect the forward troops and consolidate the results achieved by the first group of troops.
The fourth group of troops divided the Longxiang Iron Armor Army into two, with Shi Jian in charge of one of them, and equipped with 30,000 troops from the Mobei tribe as a peripheral force, following Guo Zhang and Wei Fei. Strive to sweep the entire Liao Kingdom's Zhongjing Road and implement the control area to every county. And to control all the nomadic tribes in the area.
The fifth group of troops, with the remainder of Yingyang's army as the core, and Ding Hanshan taking charge of the army, are also equipped with 30,000 troops from the Mobei tribe. This group of troops is different from the previous groups. The entire army does not carry baggage, and all members are light cavalry. Mount your horse and start late. But according to the arrangement, they will catch up with the first army before entering the Great Wall. The army also carries the Yingyang flag. As a representative of the Yingyang army, they will appear at the Great Wall together with the sweat cavalry regiment of the first army as a deterrent to Yan Yun. iconic presence.
The sixth route of troops includes the remaining troops of the Longxiang Iron Armor Army and the Ganliang tribe. All other armies, including the former auxiliary troops of the rear army, were the core, with all the remaining Mobei tribes as the periphery, and they advanced southward in a mighty way.
The Sixth Route Army has 200,000 soldiers from the Mobei tribe alone. The soldiers and horses traveled hundreds of miles back and forth, and after entering the Liao Kingdom's Zhongjing Road, they were invincible to both Hu and Han.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Yelu Shuogu, who was marching in the Western Liaoning Corridor, was heartbroken when he heard the news, and thought to Xiao Mian: "I heard that the army in Shangjing was defeated before, and I couldn't believe it. Now Alas! Yang and Xue are now joining forces and marching south. Fortunately, they made a decisive decision at the beginning. , otherwise if I leave half a month late, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to leave!¡±
It turns out that although Yang Yi handed over the general power to Xue Fu as his agent, Xue Fu did not spread the news about his injury. When the army went south, they all acted in Yang Yi's name. Yanyun did not know the details of the battle in Beijing. Judging only from the flags, he thought that Yang Yi was still in charge of the army going south.
Xiao Mian thought: "For the current plan, we must speed up the march! We ordered Xiao to seize control of the rear and block the news at the same time to prevent Shi Jin from adding insult to injury and the Yan people to rebel! As long as we reach Liaodong, we can seize the dangerous mountains and rivers in the west and guard the key points. As long as we can withstand the Tang army's offensive, gather together in ten years, and learn lessons in ten years, we, Daliao, will still be able to revive!"
Yelu Shuogu knew what Xiao Miansi was worried about - the hundreds of thousands of Yan people who were driven on the road by the Khitans had just been suppressed and were frightened. They had been honest all the way after entering the Liaoxi Corridor, but if there was news about the defeat of the Liao army and the victory of the Tang army, If word of mouth spreads widely, it¡¯s hard to predict how these people will react!
Yelu Shuogu nodded in agreement, and said with a hint of sadness: "I wonder how your majesty is."
Xiao Mian thought: "Now that you have been defeated in Beijing, even if Your Majesty can get out of trouble, it will be difficult to maintain the same prestige as before. It is most important that we meet the Queen Mother and Duke Shou'an as soon as possible!"
Yelu Shuogu's heart trembled. Although these words were not stated clearly, they had already implicitly touched on the difficulty of political power. Those who did not hold the actual power did not dare to seek it, and those who did not have close relatives did not dare to speak!
Xiao Miansi was captured in the Battle of Guanzhong. Later, Zhang Mai sent him back to Liao to deliver a message. What he brought with him were words that were heroic to Tiance but extremely humiliating to Khitan! Although Yelu Deguang did not blame Xiao Miansi for this, Xiao Miansi could no longer enter the core decision-making level of the Liao Kingdom since then. He was sent to the border as Yelu Shuogu's deputy, with a slight intention of sending him to the left. But after this period of cooperation, he and Yelu Shuogu established a tacit understanding of political alliance.
The Khitan had two clans of emperors and empresses. The emperor was Yelu Liu, and the latter was Shulu Xiao. With the identities of Yelu Shuogu and Xiao Miansi, there was no hope of becoming emperors. However, if their political resources and military power were combined, they could support them. Gong, good at expertiseRights are not necessarily unattainable.
Yelu Shuogu thought to Xiao Mian: "It's fortunate that I have my uncle Guo to assist in civil affairs during this period. Otherwise, I, a reckless man, would not be able to win such a big deal. As for Han Deshu and Han Kuangsi, although these Han people are talented, I can't do anything about it." Real trust!¡±
Xiao Mian thought: "But after arriving in Liaodong, these hundreds of thousands of Han people will become a very important force for us. Han Deshu still needs to be properly won over."
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
When Yelu Shuogu entered the Liaodong Corridor, Xiao Shali and Yelu Wuzhi were still in Youzhou. At this time, Youzhou City had become an empty city. Not only were there no civilians, there were not even many soldiers and horses - only more than 2,000 Xi tribe cavalry.
The main troops in Xiao Juali were stationed along the Great Wall, blocking the north and south in order to block news. The defeat in Shangjing made them feel as if they were mourning, and they were even more panicked when they heard that Yang Yi quickly went south after defeating Shangjing. They tried their best to block the news, but such big news could not be hidden from the Han army, Xi Ren, or their subordinates! Many inner-circle soldiers wailed day and night after knowing about it, and were killed by Xiao Xali before they stabilized themselves. However, all the Khitan people who knew about it looked north with fear in their eyes - before the battle of Shangjing, the Khitan attacked Yang Yi It was a combination of fear and hatred, but now the fear has overwhelmed everything, and all the Khitan soldiers stationed on the Great Wall felt guilty. I'm just afraid that when the eagle raises its flag, it will come and kill!
Xiao Juli, who was pretending to be murderous, returned to the tent with the bloody knife and could no longer hide his emotions. With a cry in his voice, he said to Yeluwu: "Our heart and soul are finished! Everything is finished! Don't even think about defeating Tiance in the future. If we see the eagle flying the flag, no one of these men will dare to fight! Have you heard that? Such a huge Dading Mansion didn¡¯t even have the courage to hold on for a day! The three thousand defenders watched the Han climb up the city wall, half surrendered and half fled! Yelu Guhuli ordered the burning of the granary, but the man who gave the order escaped! When he found out, he went to light the fire himself. The Han people had already opened the city gate, and the fire was put out before it even started!
"Yuzhou to the south of Dading Prefecture has become an empty city, and people in Zezhou further south are also panicked! No need to fight, no need to fight! No need to fight on Tiance's way south! Every city is broken, and every barrier is opened. , the herdsmen in Zhongjing Road knelt down when they saw the Han flag in the distance. Now the Khitan children in Zhongjing Road will cry when they hear the eagle cry! Isn't the eagle the patron saint of our Khitan! When will it become ours? His nemesis?¡±
Seeing that the military's morale was so high, Yelu Wuzhi was secretly sad. He managed to summon up his energy and said to Xiao Shaili: "Fortunately, there is this Great Wall, and fortunately the news has been temporarily blocked, otherwise Mo Baique's nine thousand Han army may have changed. You Don¡¯t worry too much, this is the beginning of a major defeat. Low morale is inevitable. After a period of recuperation and morale recovery, we can still fight.¡±
Xiao Juali didn't seem to be cheered up by this. After a while, he said: "Shi Jin's side. Do you still want to hide it? Now that Tiance has broken through Dading Mansion, if Qingqi advances, it will only take a few days to go south to Yanyun. ! If we don¡¯t notify Du Chongwei, I¡¯m afraid they will be caught off guard!¡±
Yelu Wuzhi has thought about this issue many times before. Nomadic tribes are afraid of power but not moral. They are afraid of surrendering when they encounter strong people, but they are easy to beat down those who have failed. Although Yelu Wuzhi is a person with an international perspective. , but after all, it has its limitations. He used himself to save people, but he was afraid that Shi Jin would take advantage of the situation. At this time, he said: "Notifying Shi Jin as soon as possible will only make them despise our army, and even breed the intention of taking advantage of the situation. It will not be good for us. , it¡¯s better to hide it for now.¡±
Xiao Jali said: "Then have Youzhou City been handed over to them? I don't want to stay in this place anymore! Once the Eagle Flag really appears, can we really rely on the Great Wall built by the Han to resist the Han?"
"Stay for three more days!" Yelu Wuzhi gritted his teeth and said, "After three days, we will withdraw! Give them Youzhou, give them Jizhou, give them Luanzhou - west of Yuguan (later Shanhaiguan), Give it all to them!¡±
Xiao Juli said: "Even if I give it to them, can they hold it? I think when the eagle flies its flag and the bloody soldiers come, they will collapse!"
"Then we don't care." Yeluwu said: "Tiance has been using troops for many years, and the military front has reached its peak, but the fatigue must also have reached its peak. Next, it will take time to consolidate the victory and integrate Yanyun. ¡ª¡ªWith this period of time, we can regain our morale and gain a firm foothold. If Tiance is willing to turn south and take Luoyang first, that will be even better for us!"
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
When Yelu Shuogu decided to return to the east to fight for power, when Yelu Wuzhi decided to abandon Yan, when Du Chongwei happily prepared to enter Youzhou, when Shi Zhonggui wanted to take over Yunzhou, and Gao Xingzhou's troops had already arrived at the Great Wall Outside, prepare to break through Li Yixiu's blocking defense line.
At the same time, Li Yiyin also mobilized all the soldiers and horses in Ping'an City, approached step by step, and set up camp in the west of the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment. ?On the same day, suddenly thousands of horses galloped from the southwest. Gao Xingzhou saw billowing smoke and dust in the camp. Thinking of the fireworks last night, he felt very uneasy.
He didn¡¯t know that Zhang Mai had landed in Hekou Town yesterday. After receiving the news, Li Yiyin expanded the camp to prepare for Zhang Mai, while setting off fireworks to notify Yunzhou. Zhang Mai marched all the way here after changing his horse. In Tiance's camp, a sentry came in and announced: "The marshal is here!"
Li Yi was overjoyed and led his troops to greet him ten miles away and kowtow before the Throne of Sweat and Blood. Zhang Mai saw that his face was full of weather and frost and comforted him: "General Li has worked hard since Xue Fu went north."
After hearing these soft words of comfort, Li Yiyin had a smile on his face, as if he was even more happy than receiving a thousand gold reward, and said: "It's not bitter, it's not bitter! Governor Xue entrusted me with this important task because of his great trust in me, Li Yiyin. Although Li Yiyin has no Fortunately, I went north to defeat the Liao Dynasty with the governor, and fortunately I have fulfilled my mission! The Chile River is still intact, and the situation in northern Shanxi is still stable."
Zhang Mai nodded, said hello, and asked Li Yiyin to get on the horse and go with him. Li Yiyin did not dare to keep pace with Zhang Mai. Half a horse's head behind, Yang Guangyuan is on the left. Li Yiyin was on the right, all the way into the camp.
Gao Xingzhou's scouts quickly reported back, but Zhang Mai did not raise a flag, so Gao Xingzhou only knew that another army was coming from the southwest. He was even more anxious to return eastward, but he still kept his mind stable. The generals of the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment know that Tiance has arrived with reinforcements, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to win, but they are not very scared yet.
The day Zhang Mai arrived. After asking about the situation in northern Shanxi, he mobilized the generals in the army to reorganize the troops.
On that day, Xue Fu went north, taking only thousands of elite troops with him, leaving behind 2,000 mounted infantry, 2,000 mounted auxiliary troops, 5,000 party cavalry, 18,000 logistics auxiliary troops, and nearly 20,000 new troops. Recruit people and horses. When Li Yixiu entered Jiaoshan, he took away 3,000 Dangxiang cavalry and 2,000 logistics auxiliary troops, and 2,000 Chilechuan soldiers surrendered to the Mobei tribal army. However, Li Yiyin still retained 40,000 troops including 6,000 combat troops. In fact, the strength is not inferior to Gao Xingzhou, but the lack of first-class elite legions and the inability to command the four thousand non-party combat troops smoothly. This made Li Yiyin unwilling to confront the White Horse Silver Spear Group head-on.
But the arrival of Zhang Mai just filled this vacancy. The embedding of the new Modao Battle Ax Formation gave the entire army a new core. After the Modao Battle Ax Formation was the tenth battalion of the long-range shooting force, and the four left by Xue Fu Thousand combat troops are on the left. The 3,000 Han infantry and cavalry brought by Zhang Mai are on the right, which is the central army; and Yang Guangyuan's 2,000 light cavalry are on the left. Li Yi and Yin's two thousand Dangxiang cavalry are the right wing, and each is supported by seven thousand Hu cavalry. This is the outer perimeter; the rest of the troops and horses are left at the rear.
He is the supreme leader of the entire army, and his command is extremely smooth. The generals will act as soon as they hear the order. He will issue military orders in the evening and all adjustments will be completed at nightfall. Then the generals entered the camp to recover their lives.
Zhang Mai said to the generals: "In the battle to go to Beijing, I trust Yang Yi and Xue Fu. Let's focus on pacifying Yanyun first. Gao Xingzhou is the first obstacle we need to remove! The Art of War says: Ten Principles Surround them! Our army has five times the number of soldiers and horses as Gao Xingzhou. In addition, with the Great Wall as an obstacle in front, it is enough for us to outflank them. Everyone has a good sleep tonight. Tomorrow, we will outflank the left and right wings. I will use the Chinese army to encircle them. Go straight to his henchmen! Then cut and surround his defeated troops. This is a Han army. This battle is different from fighting the Hulu. We pursue victory, not killing."
Among the generals present at the meeting, Liu Heihu was a Han from the Western Regions, Yang Guangyuan was a Chinese Shatuo, and Li Yiyin was a Dangxiang. However, Zhang Mai bluntly said "Hulu" in front of them. Liu Heihu thought it was natural, Yang Guangyuan thought it was logical, and Li Yiyin heard a hint: This is Don't think of yourself as a "barbarian" anymore.
Zhang Mai said: "Go back and get ready for tomorrow's battle!"
The generals said in unison: "Take the order!"
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The sun hadn't risen the next day, so Gao Xingzhou ordered the fourth watch to prepare food and the fifth watch to break camp. The genius was bright, and the Jin army was eating when they heard soldiers and horses galloping in the distance. The scouts came to report that the Tang army was divided into two wings: north and south. , seems to intend to outflank.
Gao Xingzhou said: "Ignore him, he will probably continue to harass. I ordered the whole army to mount their horses after eating. The forwards will have a thousand cavalry to clear the way, and the middle army will follow with seven thousand people. I will kill the rear with two thousand white horses and silver spears." "During this period, Li Yiyin used many methods to delay the Jin army's return eastward, so Gao Xingzhou became a little tired.
The Jin army who was eating knew that the Tang army was on the move. After finishing their meal in a few seconds, a thousand cavalry in front opened the way, and the Chinese army continued to advance. Two thousand elite troops formed a formation and cut off the rear. According to Gao Xingzhou's prediction, Li Yiyin probably wouldn't dare to come up and confront him head-on!
Tiance's scouts reported the news. Zhang Mai heard about it and said: "Are the elites going to cut off the queen? You have the guts! Send an order to keep these elites first! After approaching, raise my flag."
At this time, the Jin Army and the Tang Army were both on the move. If the Tang Army wanted to outflank all the Jin Army, it had to keep moving eastward. At this moment, the Chinese Army sent out a signal and extended two lines.?The outflanking troops - four thousand Xue Fujiu troops came out from the left, and three thousand Hehuang Fanhan came out from the right. If viewed from the sky, the Tiance Tang army was like a mutated giant, stretching out four arms, two long and two short - Yang Guangyuan Li Yiyin made a large encirclement on the outside, and Xue Fujiu's troops and Hehuang Fanhan made a small encirclement on the inside, all targeting the two thousand elite Jin troops.
Gao Xingzhou was a little surprised and said: "Are they really planning to surround and kill us? And they have four wings. This means that the troops are divided into five groups!"
After all, the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment was an elite group and had not panicked until now. The deputy general asked how to deal with it. Gao Xingzhou said: "If they want to encircle and kill them, they must divide their forces. If Li Yiyin had five times as many troops as me, why bother to retreat in the first place?" ! If there are not enough strong troops, the troops will be weak! We can break it with various methods of defeat! Let¡¯s set up a position and see whether it is strong or not. Hit one wing and it will be broken. At that time, if we advance, we can take advantage of the situation to cover up the attack, and if we retreat, we can return east through the gap. , worry-free!"
Originally, he had a plan in mind and could just give the order directly. But now he made it clear that he was teaching his son. The elite light cavalry are powerful and capable of winning in battle and escaping in defeat. This was especially true in such a flat terrain, so even though the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment was approached by several times the number of people, they were not in a hurry.
The so-called flat openness of Chilechuan is just for the general situation, and the local terrain is still ups and downs. Gao Xingzhou gathered his troops on a small hill and drove the horses to the top of the hill. He wanted to take the exam for his son, so he asked him to watch Feichen. Judgment of strength and weakness.
Tiance¡¯s outer wings are still extending eastward. The two inner wings have begun to shrink and approach, and at the same time, the troops and horses in the middle are also advancing here. The three troops and horses are almost equidistant from the hill.
Gao Huaide looked east and west and said: "The enemy's inner left wing came from the north, with about 4,000 soldiers and horses. The enemy's inner right wing came from the south, with about 5,000 soldiers and horses. The enemy's central army came from the west. , more than ten thousand soldiers and horses!"
Gao Xingzhou nodded. He expressed his approval for his son's judgment. He had known that Xue Fu brought many party herdsmen with him. Many tribes were gathered in the Chile River. These people were also organized into the army. They herded animals during the day and followed them to kill during the war. They didn't care about this group of people. There were no elites in this temporary gathering of herdsmen. The army is the core, and no matter how many people there are, they can't stop him, so Gao Xingzhou is not in a hurry to break out, and is prepared to win a battle first to scare Li Yiyin.
After a while, three groups of soldiers and horses gradually appeared, and the two inner wings were the first to approach. Gao Huaide let out a sigh and said, "Dad! No! The enemy's inner left wing has 4,000 people, but there are not 5,000 people on the inner right wing. His army The flying dust in the front half is divided into high and low The front army should be equipped with one man and two horses. Because there are empty horses, the flying dust raised is slightly different. The rear army is composed of one man and one horse, and the total number is only about 3,000! If there is one person and two horses, then there should be elite soldiers in front and auxiliary soldiers in the back, most likely the herdsmen who have been brought in to make up the numbers!"
Gao Huaide¡¯s judgment was accurate, but his conclusion was wrong. The 4,000 men of Xue Fujiu's troops on Tiance's inner left wing are all mounted infantry, so one man and one horse are enough; half of the inner right wing of Hehuang Fanhan are cavalry, so they need one man and two cavalry, and half are infantry, so one man and one horse are also needed.
Gao Xingzhou didn't know this, so he judged that Tiance's inner right wing contained 1,500 elite soldiers, while the left wing was composed entirely of herdsmen.
After deducing that, he said to his son: "Those herders can be dispersed in one blow, but we must prevent being entangled by the enemy's elite soldiers. Let's attack the left side first. Once the left side is defeated, Li Yiyin has to stop to clean up the mess and wait for them." After cleaning up the mess, our front and center troops are now far away, and even the rear troops have enough time to break away from the encirclement."
Gao Huaide said happily: "Father, my dear, my son is willing to be a forward!"
Gao Xingzhou smiled and said: "That's right!"
Gao Huaide then mounted his horse and drew his spear, and charged towards the inner left wing of Tiance's army. Two thousand cavalry moved like water, surging towards the north.
Zhang Mai observed the enemy's formation with a telescope and praised: "This team is very good! Fortunately, they did not come to Guanzhong last year, otherwise Guo Wei would have added a powerful enemy."
The Tang army's reconnaissance tools were stronger than those of the Jin army. As soon as the Jin army's soldiers and horses moved, Tiance's troops from all walks of life sent out signals at the same time. The outer wings continued to extend, and the inner right wing continued to advance towards Gao Xingzhou's right rear, preparing to intercept Gao Xingzhou. In the back, the people in the middle accelerated towards the inner left wing.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
When the four thousand soldiers and horses on the inner left wing saw the enemy coming, they stopped their horses with a roar, dismounted, and quickly rallied!
These 4,000 men were the mounted infantry troops brought by Xue Fu from Hexi. They were originally intended to be used against the Khitans. Although these 4,000 men were not as good as the top elite troops such as Ying Yang and Han Xue, they were still well equipped with weapons. , well trained and experienced in the battlefield, in Gao Xingzhou's concept, they can be regarded as "elite". Otherwise, how can they cooperate with the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment's operations?
At this time, four thousand people quickly formed a formation, with two thousand infantry in front, and quickly assembled more than three hundred large shields. Behind the shields, two thousand infantry had either swords, guns, crossbows, orOr hook, ready to go, and the two thousand horse-riding auxiliaries are even more murderous - these are not auxiliary troops used for logistical supplies, but battlefield auxiliary troops to cooperate with the Sweat-blooded Cavalry Regiment. Some of these people They can quickly build fortifications like engineers. Some are good at detecting ambushes in city streets, some are good at digging traps and clearing traps and ambushes, some are good at inserting themselves into the chaos, aiming and attacking at close range with arm crossbows, and some are good at killing. Good at throwing refining bombs and other firearms - they are good at firearms, so they also carry firearms! These two thousand auxiliary combat troops cannot be used as cavalry to rush forward alone, nor can they meet the infantry in a strong formation. However, if they have strong comrades to stabilize the battle situation, the lethality they can exert is terrifying.
As soon as Gao Xingzhou saw this army dismounting from afar, he felt that something was wrong. When he saw the actions of this army clearly, he was even more horrified. This kind of lineup and this kind of behavior are not "Chile herdsmen" or "trash fish and shrimps". "?
"It's not good!" Gao Xingzhou shouted softly and ordered to retreat his troops! Although the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment are considered elite, they are light cavalry after all, and there are only 2,000 people. Their attributes are restrained, and their strength is only half of the opponent's. If they rush into this infantry formation like this, they will lose their skin even if they don't die!
Gao Huaide rushed to the front. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still obeyed the order to stop his horse when he saw the faint murderous intent behind the three hundred shields.
The White Horse Silver Spear Regiment advanced, stopped, and retreated like this, which vented the energy they had just built up. Not only did their morale suffer a huge blow, but they also delayed the best opportunity to escape. The three thousand He Huangfan Han in the south galloped forward and cut into the southeast direction of the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment in one breath. The four thousand infantry were blocked in the north and they did not dare to move rashly. If Gao Xingzhou wanted to retreat eastward, his side would be sold to those three. If Qianhe Huangfanhan were to charge straight to the southeast, they would have to fight head-on to carve out a bloody path.
Not only the inner and outer wings, but also the outer and outer wings began to surround them. But at this time, the closest ones to them were no longer the inner and outer wings, but the people in the middle of Tiance. The deputy general pointed at the approaching Tang army and shouted: "General, look! That big banner!"
Gao Xingzhou looked to the west and saw Tiance's army pushing towards them step by step with a large banner in their arms.
Yesterday, the flag set up in the Tiance barracks was still the flag of Li Yiyin. Now it has been replaced by a big flag. It is a large banner with high teeth, with Sichuan brocade as the base, ox tail as the decoration, bird feathers as the edge, and the main color is bright yellow! One side of the banner is the Chinese character Zhang, and the other side of the banner is embroidered with a flying dragon soaring into the sky! Next to the dragon flag, there is another slightly lower general flag, with a Liu character embroidered on one side and a black tiger embroidered on the other side!
The military flags of ancient China have clear specifications. The ox-tailed banner must not be worn by a very noble commander. He dared to use the bright yellow color and embroidered the surname Feilong Zhang. When Gao Xing saw it on Monday, he thought of the "rumor" before, and suddenly Feeling a little scared, he blurted out: "Zhang Longxiang!"
Not only him, but also the experienced veterans who saw the big banner were startled, dumbfounded, and stunned. Then a collective panic broke out among the two thousand people!
That invincible commander who defeated the Khitan, that king of the sea who was not proclaimed emperor, that Zhang Mai who was revered by the barbarians as the Khan of Heaven, isn't he really here?
The answer to them is not words, but actions!
The approaching Tiance central army suddenly dismounted, their movements were more violent and faster than the mounted infantry on the inner left wing just now!
Ten battalions, 3,000 people, all strong and majestic, marched forward amidst the standard Qin opera shouts. The simultaneous shouts and steps of the three thousand people actually brought out a more shocking performance than the galloping of thousands of horses. Fluctuating, a thousand shining lights light up, just like ice and snow reflecting sunlight under sunlight, making people's eyes dazzle! On both sides are two thousand wheel-like battle axes, rolling forward!
Gao Xingzhou¡¯s eyes suddenly shrank: ¡°Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation!¡±
??The flag can be faked, the banner can be faked, but how can the Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation be faked? Although they haven't taken the sword yet, seeing this formation, how can the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment still have the courage to attack?
Zhang Mai is really here, and he also brought the Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation!
This person appeared all of a sudden, and they said they would attack them separately or defeat them one by one! That's a joke!
At this time, Gao Huaide had already rushed back to his father and said, "Dad! That big banner, that big banner is Zhang Longxiang really here?"
Gao Xingzhou smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid"
Gao Huaide wanted to ask his father what to do, but he couldn't. At this time, the infantry formation in the north also took action. More than 300 shields moved forward step by step, approaching step by step. Seeing that strong soldiers were closing in on the formation and surrounding them on all sides, if they didn't leave, they would I'm really going to be dumped!
Gao Xingzhou made a decisive decision, pointed at Fanhan at the river in the southwest and said: "Kill! Rush over! Don't ask for victory, but ask for a breakthrough!" After a pause, he said again: "If you can rush over, don't pay attention to the soldiers and horses. , how many people are walking away, those who have escaped from the trap quickly enter the Great Wall, please ask Du Shuai and Shi Liu to send troops to help!"
