Luoyang, southeast, fifteen miles away, Hongtai Slope. It was past noon, the scorching sun was shining high, the sound of killings was loud, and smoke and dust were rising everywhere. More than 100,000 troops were fighting desperately. Corpses were strewn across the fields, and blood flowed into rivers. The Guanzhong Tang Army led by Li Yuanji and the Jianghuai Army led by Yang Xuangan The decisive battle has reached the final moment of deciding the winner. The battle has been going on for three hours, and the two wings of the Tang Army's prefecture and county troops have been completely and completely defeated. The Jianghuai soldiers are forming a neat formation, pressing from both sides against Li Yuanjin's troops who are charging from the center. There are more than 70,000 Tang troops. The infantry was now huddled together, like a huge crowd on the ten-mile-wide front. The soldiers on both sides were desperately trying to block the Jianghuai soldiers' attack from the side, but it was already difficult. Once again in formation, different teams and armies had disrupted the organization. They were all mixed together, and they couldn't tell you from me. All they did was resist with their fighting instincts. Li Yuanji's eyes were blood red and he roared again and again. Liu Shirang shouted loudly: "King Qi, we are now surrounded by enemy forces on three sides. If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid we won't be able to withdraw. Please make a decision early!" Gritting his teeth, he threw down the mask on his face, revealing his hideous and terrifying face. His nostrils were bleeding now and his eyes were completely red. He pointed about three hundred steps ahead, where the words "Yang" were written on the face. The commander-in-chief flag with the word "No, we haven't lost yet. Along the way, our central breakthrough has reached Yang Xuangan's last line of defense. As long as we break through this line of defense, the outcome will be determined." Reversal, the enemy troops on both wings are not a problem!" Liu Shirang gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, please let the last general lead the troops to attack again, otherwise, the two soldiers of General Chai and Princess Pingyang who are raiding the formation will be killed! The guards and horses are also called. This is not the time to be angry. " Li Yuanji sighed: "General Liu, can't you see that we are all crowded here, and their 20,000 troops are of no use. , Besides, Han Shi'e's 10,000 troops are watching them. It's not that easy for them to come over. We have to rely on ourselves. This time, I personally lead the troops to attack!" Three miles away, Chai Shao looked into the distance! Zhan Chen was extremely anxious, and the horse under him kept shaking its head and pawing its hooves, eager to try. Li Xiuning bit her lip tightly and said nothing. Chai Shao finally couldn't help it anymore and said loudly: "Madam, we can't hesitate any longer. Let's fight out now. Maybe we can save King Qi." Li Xiuning's eyes were already sparkling with tears, and she shook her head: "No, it's not possible. Shiro didn't listen to me and went deep alone. Now he has been surrounded by the enemy. Han Shi'e's soldiers and horses are standing in front of us. They never participated in the siege of Shiro. This is a trap left for us. Once we do this If we attack blindly at this time, we will only trap ourselves. We cannot be reckless now. We can only hold firmly here. Even if Shiro is defeated, we must stop Yang Xuangan's army! We must not let them break through here and threaten them! Erlang!" Chai Shao sighed, pointed his fingers at the dust in front of him, and said, "But that is your biological brother, the biological brother of the same mother, do you really not care about his life or death? " Li Xiuning's tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes, and his voice was trembling: "Now I am the general of the Tang Dynasty. I must be responsible for the outcome of this battle and the life and death of the entire army. Li Yuan Ji is now the general of the Tang Dynasty. He is also responsible for the victory or defeat of this battle. I can't ruin the overall situation for him alone. General Chai, please join me in following the commander's orders and holding on without fighting. !" Chai Shao gritted his teeth and put on his mask, with a cold look in his eyes: "I understand, madam, I hope you won't regret it." Under the flag of Jianghuai Army Commander, Yang Xuangan's sharp face, A pair of star-like eyes flashed with light, looking coldly at the battle ahead. Li Yuanji had already led the knights around him towards the five thousand heavy armored infantry in front of Yang Xuangan, who were as indestructible as rocks. The steel phalanx formed launched a final wave of ferocious assaults. The horses neighed and arrows flew. The cavalry, which had lost their assault speed and space, almost ran into the thorn phalanx of the steel forest. One by one, The stabbings were so bloody that even the men and horses were no longer human-like, but few of the horsemen were able to charge into this well-defended formation. Wang Zhongbo on the side sighed: "The cavalry of the Tang Army are really brave. It is a pity that such good warriors were brought to a dead end by the incompetent command. But it is also thanks to the marshal's foresight that he used the strongest warriors. Holding the last line of defense, to be honest, more than an hour ago, when they broke through two lines of defense of our army and rushed straight to this last line of defense, the general was really sweating. " Yang Xuangan was hooked. At the corner of his mouth, he said: "It seems dangerous, but it is actually under control. I put up a little resistance in the first two formations and pretended to collapse. In fact, I was luring the enemy deep into the center of this formation."The width is only five miles. The enemy army rushes into the center and defeats the two wings. It is equivalent to being attacked on three sides. It is in a pocket formation. No matter how many people there are, it cannot exert its power. The front army has lost its energy because of the assault all the way, and rushes to the strongest point of our army. When the defense line was in front of us, they were unable to make an assault because it was too dense and there was no way to turn around. They couldn't use cavalry to launch an assault. Therefore, although their troops were stronger than ours, it was of no avail. " Having said this, he pointed to the front line. The two wings of the Jianghuai soldiers had begun to compress towards the central line of the Tang Army. The already overcrowded Tang Army formation was even more crowded. The soldiers were almost like sardines. It was like a can, and it was almost impossible to take any action. Even the hand holding the knife was so crowded by the companions around him that he couldn't lift it. He wanted to fight, but he didn't know how to fight. The arrows in the air kept hitting them. The dense Tang army was pouring into the camp. The huddled Tang army soldiers could not even raise their shields to resist. Each arrow could hit two or three sergeants. Many people were hit by arrows in their necks. The arrows showed through and could pierce them. The bodies of the companions who were crowded aside were hit. Even if both of them died, the bodies could not fall down. Many of the sergeants who were shot in non-fatal places such as the shoulders could not even pull out the arrows and could only cry. Wailing, the scene was unbearable to watch. Liu Shirang was also hit by four or five arrows. He ignored the bleeding place and cried to Li Yuanji in front of him: "King Qi, it's impossible, retreat, if you don't retreat, I'm afraid the general won't be able to protect you! "
