- A strong wind came and Li Tang's flag was folded. (
In the distance, the wounded soldiers of the Tang Army lay on the ground moaning helplessly. The noisy sounds around him slowly entered his ears, and the smell of blood drifted in the wind on the tip of his nose. The originally busy pond horses also stopped at this time, and both the man and the horse were breathing heavily.
The generals were thinking at this moment, even if they defeated the main force of the Zhao army in front of them, how could they resist Wang Junkuo's hundreds of thousands of cavalry who crossed the Wei River an hour later. An atmosphere of despair gradually filled the Chinese army. However, the Tang soldiers who were fighting on the battlefield were lucky because they did not know the worst news yet.
"What's wrong?" Li Shimin looked at the generals, "It's not the last moment yet. Have you given up hope?"
The generals of the Tang army all lowered their heads.
"Your Majesty, why don't we retreat to Chang'an before the Zhao army encircles us? There is still hopeah, no!"
Li Shimin took back the blood-stained sword and said: "Who dares to retreat!"
When the generals saw the general lying in a pool of blood, they all said together: "I am willing to fight to the death with your Majesty!"
Fang Xuanling said at this time: "Your Majesty, there is still one hour left. We still have a chance. If we defeat the main force of the Zhao army in front of us, we will still have the strength to fight against Wang Junkuo's hundreds of thousands of cavalry."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "I understand. You go and tell Changsun Wuji first, saying that I don't have any extra troops for him, and let him fight until the last moment."
After hearing this, all the generals understood that time was running out, so reinforcements to Changsun Wuji would not help even if Zhao Jun's left wing was defeated. It would be better to burn the cauldron and annihilate Li Chongjiu's central army first.
"No!"
Li Shimin looked to the left and right and said: "Pass my decree and order to join the flag army. Defeat the majestic army and show off the army. The four armies of the Yuanyou Army attack the Zhao Kingdom's Central Army! I personally go to the front line to supervise the battle! You are here now. I have nothing. It¡¯s easy to say, we just have to fight to the end!¡±
Li Shimin looked at the hills ahead in the distance, pointed his long sword forward and said: "Everyone, follow me to advance the flag. If anyone takes one step back from the flag, I will kill him!"
Hearing what Li Shimin said, all the generals took orders.
"Your Majesty, Li Shimin has moved!"
"It's the whole army coming!"
The general who looked upstairs came quickly and reported to Li Chongjiu, with a look of panic on his face. Li Chongjiu paused after hearing the footsteps, and the Qu Tutong cavalry in front of him was already defeated. But his casualties were not small, and now Li Shimin used all his family resources to fight against him.
Ji Chuan said: "Your Majesty, Li Shimin is furious. Now he is pressing forward desperately and wants to make a last stand against our army!"
Seeing the menacing appearance of the Tang army, many ministers could not help but feel uneasy and retreated. Yu Shinan thought that Li Chongjiu had reprimanded him for advocating a retreat just now, and he did not dare to say anything anymore. Many other generals and staff also showed hesitation. But no one dares to say anything yet.
"At this moment, the only thing we can do is persevere to the end. Send the order, and the entire army will stand firm and not take a step back!" Li Chongjiu ordered, his eyes sweeping across the generals. The generals who retreated from the bottom of their hearts lowered their heads, as if he had penetrated their thoughts.
Li Chongjiu¡¯s military order had been issued, and at this moment a pond horse galloped over.
A general stuck his head out anxiously and asked, "Have reinforcements arrived?"
Tang Ma reported to Li Chongjiu: "General Wang Mahan has asked me to report to Your Majesty. The casualties on our left wing have reached one-third. However, our army is still fighting to the death. I sincerely request Your Majesty to send reinforcements!"
Li Chongjiu said to this Tangma without even thinking: "Tell Wang Mahan. I don't have any soldiers to send now, but if he dares to take a step back without permission, I will kill him."
"No!" Tang Ma got the order and left with his fists clasped.
When all the generals saw that Li Chongjiu was so cruel to his confidant General Wang Mahan, they could not help but sweat.
"This battle is a battle related to the ownership of the world. Although our army has the advantage, if you think that you can win this battle and seize the world without paying anything, you are too lucky." Li Chongjiu glanced at the ministers. .
"Your Majesty, the outcome of a war often depends on the general's persistence at the last moment. We must not retreat at this moment!" Zhang Xuansu echoed loudly.
After hearing this, all the ministers said in unison: "I am willing to follow His Majesty and fight to the death!"
While he was talking, there was a sudden sound of drums. Everyone climbed up to the observation deck and looked out, only to see a hundred war drums of the Tang army beating at the same time. The naked warriors rounded their arms and beat the big drums. Li Shimin, who was wearing a dragon robe, even beat the drum himself to encourage the soldiers.
Encouraged by Li Shimin, the soldiers of the Tang Army surged up the hillside like a black torrent. Li Tang's flags can be seen all over the mountains.Come. Seeing this scene, all the generals were speechless, and some of them had their newly firm confidence shaken again.
At this moment, Yu Shinan rushed to Li Chongjiu and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, two armies are coming from the back mountain!"
Yu Shinan was so excited that he was trembling when he spoke. Everyone turned around and looked around, only to see two groups of soldiers wearing red jackets advancing side by side between the hills from the direction of Miyuan. The official road was overflowing with soldiers from both cavalry and infantry armies, all of whom came running.
"Look, it's the military flag with the character Zhao!"
"It's our people!"
The soldiers held tears in their eyes, waved their fists and shouted.
"That's right, it's Shan Xiongxin's imperial guards stationed in Tongzhou, and the armed guards stationed in Su Dingfang, Jingyang. There are 50,000 troops in total. They have arrived!"
Li Chongjiu turned his head and said loudly: "Command to the whole army, our reinforcements have arrived!"
"All the commanding cavalry of the Chinese army, hurry up and send orders to all armies, tell them that our reinforcements have arrived, and be sure to let every soldier hear it!"
"No!"
After dozens of knights received the order, they immediately rode away.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
"Your Majesty has ordered, the entire army will counterattack!"
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
"Your Majesty has ordered, the entire army will counterattack!"
The knights whipped their horses hard and shouted at the top of their lungs to the fighting soldiers!
Sergeant Zhao, who was originally shocked by the Tang Army's general offensive, couldn't help but come back to his senses after hearing this, and quickly asked to the left and right: "Really? Have the reinforcements really arrived?"
"I don't know, maybe!" The soldiers on the left and right were not sure.
But not long after. But behind the mountain, I heard the sound of rolling horse hooves. They turned around and saw countless cavalry. Like a red tide, it appeared on the mountain ridge. The majestic war horses, the crimson war coats, and the Zhao banner rolled down the mountain ridge.
The sound of galloping horse hooves was like the loudest war drum, hitting the chest of every soldier.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers burst into tears.
"It's really reinforcements!"
"Your Majesty did not lie to us!"
"Counterattack!"
Ling Qi still ran forward freely. In the village on the left wing, the Tang army and Zhao army fought extremely fiercely. Less than fifty steps away from where Wang Mahan's flag was, the Tang army had just broken through a dilapidated tile-roofed house where the Zhao army was defending.
In this tile-roofed house, the two parties changed hands six times, and the corpses piled up into mountains. Before the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had just captured this place could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the sound of Zhao Jun's horses outside.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
"Your Majesty has ordered, the entire army will counterattack!"
"The reinforcements from Zhao have arrived?" Tang's soldiers were shaken.
"No, don't believe it. This is Zhao's plan to shake the morale of our army!" Changsun Wuji strode to the Tang soldiers' camp. He yelled to the left and right, "Go back, take another fifty steps, and capture Zhao Jun's general flag. We will win!"
Under Changsun Wuji¡¯s angry shout, Tang¡¯s sergeant calmed down and raised his blood-stained spear again. But when I looked up, I saw the Zhao army cavalry galloping like a tide on the mountain ridge!
¡°It¡¯s really Zhao¡¯s reinforcements!¡±
"We lost!"
"How is this possible!" Changsun Wuji's eyes widened.
And Wang Mahan was dozens of steps away. He raised his sword, ignoring the several wounds on his body. He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, the reinforcements have arrived, let me counterattack!"
"Kill!" The sound of killing suddenly broke out in the village.
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
Outside the village, Zhao Jun¡¯s cavalry roared past, carrying a strong wind.
On the second wall where the Zhao army on the right was stationed, the soldiers of the Western Turks were fighting fiercely with the Zhao army.
Yehu Khan, the commander of the Western Turks, stepped on the corpse of a Zhao Army cavalry and leaned forward, his eagle eyes like lightning.
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
"Your Majesty has ordered, the entire army will counterattack!"
After hearing this sound, the morale of Sergeant Zhao, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, was all high. Those dozen commanding knights seemed to be desperate for their lives. Wherever the fighting was fierce, they rushed towards and shouted loudly. Tong Yehu saw with his own eyes a commanding rider who was hit by more than ten arrows, but he was still riding his horse and shouting.
There are not many such brave soldiers even in the entire Turks. Tong Yehu couldn't help but lose his confidence. He pointed at the Zhao Jun cavalry in front and asked to the left and right: "What are those Zhao Jun cavalry shouting?"
The special agent who was familiar with Chinese on the side reported to Tong Yehu: "They said that Zhao's reinforcements have arrived!"
After hearing this, Tong Yehu became furious and said, "What's going on? Didn't Li Shimin tell me that Zhao's troops and horses are all here?"
"Khan, look!"
When Ye Hu, the commander-in-chief, saw the Zhao army¡¯s cavalry on the hilltop, he also lost his countenance for a moment.
While speaking, Tong Yehu saw that the Zhao army had turned to counterattack across the board. The three thousand Tang troops on the left were defeated by the Zhao army's cavalry and fled in all directions.
Seeing this scene, Tong Yehu said to his left and right: "This is a war between the Han people. It's enough for me to help Li Shimin get here. Now let them fight on their own!"
With that said, Tong Yehu stepped up on his horse and said to the left and right: "Quick, blow the withdrawal horn!"
Beside Tong Yehu, Wei Ting, the minister of the Tang Dynasty who was responsible for liaison with the army, was shocked. He stepped forward and took the reins of Tong Yehu's horse and said: "Khan, Khan, don't do this. If you do this, our emperor will be isolated and helpless. Zhao The army will annihilate us all in less than an hour. Please bear in mind that our emperor has donated so many beauties, slaves, and countless gold, silver and jewels to you. Please hold on for another half hour!"
Tong Yehu said: "Don't I have beauties, slaves, gold and silver treasures? I sent troops to help you to defeat Li Chongjiu, but now the chance of victory has been lost, and there is no point in continuing the fight!"
Wei Ting begged after hearing this: "Khan, please have mercy on us! Don't leave!"
Tong Yehu winked, and two Turkic soldiers roughly pushed Wei Ting to the ground. Tong Yehu waved his horsewhip and marched out, while the Turkic army's horns sounded, and the entire army began to retreat.
"go ahead!"
"Move forward!"
"If we push harder, Zhao Jun will be defeated!"
Hou Junji, the general of the Tang army, raised his sword and shouted angrily at the soldiers around him.
And the sound of horse hooves rumbling on the left and right. The soldiers of Tang Dynasty were stumbling back when they saw a sudden wave of arrows coming. Countless soldiers fell. Hou Junji was also hit by an arrow in the right chest and was supported by his guards. Barely standing up straight.
In front of him, Zhao Jun's men and horses came in overwhelming numbers. At this moment, Hou Junji felt that huge waves were covering the top of the mountain, and the mountains were collapsing in front of his eyes.
¡°Withdraw!¡±
¡°It¡¯s no longer possible, let¡¯s run for our lives!¡±
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had begun to flee for their lives and collapsed. Many generals could not restrain themselves, and even the generals themselves fled. Such a scene. For Hou Junji, who has always been invincible, he has always seen it from the enemy, but today it was his turn.
"General, we can't hold on any longer. The Turks on the right wing have fled. Now Zhao Jun's Guards have pressed over from the right wing, and their cavalry has also regrouped!"
"Damn it, Stanai escaped with his Turkic Khan. Our right wing can't reach it at all."
Hou Junji's lips trembled, he looked around, and finally knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I have tried my best."
In front of Li Shimin¡¯s Chinese army. The defeated troops of the Tang army escaped from both sides. Although they were defeated, they fearfully bypassed the general's flag where Li Shimin was.
In front of the Chinese Army. The Tang army's 15,000 infantry remained motionless, and the soldiers were waiting in formation. The crossbowmen fired arrows one after another at the cavalry attacking Zhao Jun from both wings. Defeat their attacks.
"Do not kill me!"
"Help!"
Looking at the defeated Tang army running past, Li Shimin's face was gloomy.
"Your Majesty, it's time to leave!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui knelt in front of Li Shimin's horse.
"When Wang Junkuo's cavalry arrives, we really won't be able to leave!"
"No!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty cannot live without you!" Fang Xuanling cried while pulling Li Shimin's horse.
"Where is Chai Shao? Where is Yang Shidao? Where is Yang Gongren? Where are their soldiers and horses?" Li Shimin asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, news just came from Tangma that Yang Gongren's entire army has been wiped out. As for Chai Shao, Yang Shidao has no hope at this time!" Du Ruhui replied.
Hearing this, Li Shimin took a deep breath and said: "Give me the order, the troops on the left and right wings will retreat and reorganize behind, while I will lead the Chinese army to stop Zhao Jun here!"
"Fang Xuanling, you lead a hundred troops back to Chang'an. If you can, you will be a good emperor in the future. You must not only love your people, but also you must also live in harmony with your brothers and sisters."
"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui cried loudly when they heard this.
Li Shimin looked up to the sky and smiled: "Why are you crying? Today is my most glorious moment!"
After speaking, Li Shimin fixed his gaze forward, waved his long sword and said: "Pass my general order, the whole army beats the drums and advances!"
In an instant, thirty legendsThe cavalry galloped along the marching column and flew to the rear: "Your Majesty's order, the whole army marches forward beating drums!"
"Your Majesty has given an order, the whole army marches forward beating drums!"
"Your Majesty has given an order, the whole army marches forward beating drums!"
Li Tang¡¯s fifteen thousand soldiers and three thousand armored troops advanced straight against the retreating army!
The fierce battle became even more fierce. Wang Mahan, the general on the left wing of the Zhao army, had already defeated Changsun Wuji's 50,000 troops after receiving reinforcements from Xue Wanche's armed guards.
Changsun Wuji led a dozen cavalrymen and retreated to Li Shimin, burying his head and crying. Li Shimin just calmly ordered Changsun Wuji to go to the rear to prepare his troops and prepare to retreat to Chang'an. The right wing of the Zhao army, without the restraint of the Turkic cavalry, joined forces with Li Chongjiu's middle army to defeat the central square where Hou Junji was located. Hou Junji tried to regroup his troops, but was overwhelmed by the retreating troops.
After completing this, Zhao Jun pressed towards Li Shimin from three sides.
At this moment, the sun is already in the west, and the mountain is about to set. The entire Sanyuan is covered with the blood of the sunset.
Surrounded by thousands of troops and horses, Li Chongjiu rode a war horse and slowly came to the front of the formation.
"Tell Li Shimin that if he can lead his army to surrender, I can spare his life!" Now the victory was certain, but Li Chongjiu looked at the Tang army soldiers accompanying Li Shimin and felt compassion.
After listening to Li Chongjiu's words, Wang Shi, the general of the Zhao army, led a hundred cavalry to the Tang army's infantry formation and shouted: "The Emperor of Zhao has an order, you are strong and brave, and I appreciate it. The situation is now determined, no more killings are needed." It¡¯s meaningless, please put down your weapons and surrender!¡±
The Zhao cavalry said this several times, but none of the Tang soldiers agreed. After a while, one person replied: "Thank you very much, Emperor Zhao, for your kindness. I would rather die than surrender!"
After hearing this, Li Chongjiu slowly shook his head and pressed his hand down.
Hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers and horses launched an attack on the Tang army!
