Chapter 464: Decisive Battle (4)

The riots of the Tang army frightened Li Po by one. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He really didn't expect that the Tang army didn't even survive a night, and when he didn't receive any attacks, he fell into civil strife.

He had never seen such a thing in Liaodong, in the Yunzhong Grassland, and in Youzhou, Hebei......

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that he has never been in contact with the war against bandits since he joined the army.

The surging peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty has come to an end at this time, and the princes of the world actually have their origins except for Dou Jiande in Hebei and Li Liang in the northwest.

And in the war that Li Po experienced before, who were the enemies?

The cavalry of the Turkic tribes, the border army of Youzhou, these armies all have their own strength, if they were not attacked by Li Po again and again, they would definitely not be as vulnerable as the Tang army.

It can be said that the army led by Li Shentong is actually an authentic local military brigade in the Central Plains, and in the past few months of warfare, all the characteristics shown are also consistent with those of the local army.

has a certain combat effectiveness, but it will not have anything to do with a strong army that is tenacious and dares to fight, victorious but not arrogant, and defeated but not discouraged.

In addition to the large number of people, compared with the border army of the parallel army, it can be said to be useless, and it is no different from the rebels who fought against the Shangguan army back then.

If the Tang Army and the infantry army of the Parallel Army meet, they may still hold on for some time, after all, the time for the Infantry Army to become an army is still short, but the result will not be too different, and the foundation of the Infantry Army is also not comparable to the Tang Army.

And when it was first heavily damaged by the cavalry of the Great Army, and then besieged by an army of tens of thousands of cavalry, the Tang Army collapsed almost immediately.

Li Shentong, the commander of the army, wants to escape, so it is not surprising that the generals of the army have any thoughts.

Of course, without the Henan army, the Tang army may collapse and disperse in the daytime, but with Xu Shiyun and other ruthless guys who have always put their life and death first, the collapse of the Tang army will be advanced.

For Li Po, this was the last accident in this battle.

And he, who has been leading the army to fight for many years, is no worse than Xu Shiyun and others when he makes a decision, and after hearing the report, he was shocked, and almost did not hesitate, and immediately ordered all parts of the army to light torches.

He naturally knew the danger of the night battle, in the wind and snow and severe cold, nearly 10,000 Turks were already at the end of their crossbows, and when it was dawn, he sent troops to raid, and the Turks were naturally defeated, but most of the 500 soldiers he sent out were injured.

This is the night battle, cruel and dangerous, it is hard to imagine the scene in the romance novel where sneak attacks at night are commonplace......

Therefore, at this time, the military order he issued was not to take advantage of the chaos to attack, but to light torches and guard the camp so that the enemy could take advantage of it.

The decision of the commander of the army is wise or unwise, and it is actually the result that is seen.

In the darkness around the Tang army camp, torches were lit one after another, and when viewed from the sky, the scene was very spectacular.

In fact, this is indeed a big battle that can be ranked among the top few in the Jindi war, hundreds of thousands of people are entangled in the mountains and rivers in the wilderness of southern Bingzhou, and countless blood is spilled between them and me, and finally there is a result on this night.

Several teams of people sent by Xu Shichang were quickly brought to Li Po one after another.

Xu Shixian's name, Li Po naturally knows, but he doesn't have a good impression of these guys who don't recognize the six relatives killed in Henan, such as Li Mi and Wang Shichong, who actually got on his blacklist early.

When he was planning to raise troops to go south, you had to ask him who he wanted to use the most, Li Yuan actually had to be behind, and the people he wanted to kill the most were actually Wang Shichong, Li Mi, and those grass-headed kings in Hebei.

Not to mention any gate lords or rebels, in his opinion, these guys who don't care about it and kill all over the place are quite damned, so Luo Yi and Song Jingang and the like may have a lot of value in front of others, but there is no way to live in front of him, and they have already fallen to the ground in an understatement.

Xu Shixian...... Li Po pondered for a while, according to the current situation, surrounding and annihilating Xu Shiyun and others on the bank of the Fenshui River may be just a matter of his words, which is no different from killing Luo Yi, Song Jingang, or Liu Wuzhou and others before, and the celebrity effect will not work for him.

The only thing that can make him kill for a while is probably not Xu Shixian's reputation or his talent, but only in a posture of treating people.

There is no need to think that after raising troops to go south, he will encounter all kinds of descendants, Xu Shiyun is not the first, and he will definitely not be the last.

What is he going to do with those he hates? Is it eclectic or is it all the way through?

At this time, the consideration of talents was actually put behind him, how to recruit rebels, and how to treat these surrenderers, was the focus of his consideration.

In fact, he didn't have to think about it deeply, a problem that was already bothering him was highlighted, and as his territory expanded, he needed more and more people to assist.

At this level, there is no difference between Zhang Lun and Xu Shixian, the crux of the matter is not whether to kill or not, but how to identify and use these talents, so that they can do their best to give him advice and lead the army to conquer, instead of giving the word loyalty to them like they did before.

Of course, this question still needs to be thought about for a long time before he can mature, and all he has to do now is to accept the surrender of a descendant.

After that, he also looked forward to it in his heart, the Tang Army camp is so chaotic now, maybe those bullshit Henan heroes will go to see the king of Hades.

Facts have proved that the saying that good people do not live long and suffer for a thousand years is the truth of the world.

And that was also the day of the second day, at night, there was a rumbling noise echoing in his ears, Li Po led people to patrol the camp to appease the hearts of the troops, don't be affected by the Tang army that is about to kill the dog's brain, and it is a joke to make the camp roar or something.

In his busy schedule, he also carefully inquired about the origins of Xu Shixian, Zhang Liang and others with the people sent by Xu Shixian, mainly their previous backgrounds, official positions, and military achievements.

After asking again, when he returned to the main account of the Chinese army, Li Po felt a little more disgusted in his heart, but it was also a spectrum.

These guys killed in Henan are generally not from high backgrounds, this is nothing, of course, this also means that they have done the "good thing" of opening a warehouse and releasing grain, and burning, killing and looting are also indispensable for them.

Wagang bandits, being a traitor is their main business, and the so-called Wagang heroes actually have a strong smell of blood.

At the beginning of the battle of Liaodong, they were plundering the township, and later they went to rob the canal fleet.

When the world was gradually chaotic, they roared out, attacked the state and plundered the mansion, opened a warehouse to release grain and gather people to raise an incident was the only thing they did, and when Li Mi joined and recruited the rebels, they quickly swelled.

Then they began to slowly make some changes, and while their combat effectiveness was greatly improved, they also had more ambitious goals.

When they seized the Luokou warehouse, the momentum rose again, from Li Mi, Zhai Rang, to Xu Shixian, Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin and other generals, they almost threw the others aside, and around the various warehouses in Luoyang, where the grain and grass were piled up, and the Luoyang defenders began a years-long battle.

There is no doubt that they are one of the main culprits in Henan's population decline, and some others, in addition to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, are Wang Shichong and other Luoyang vassals.

Then there was a series of infighting, Zhai Rang died, Xu Shiyun voted for Li Mi, Li Mi was poor, Xu Shiyun led people to vote for Li Tang, at this time, he was going to surrender to Li Po again.

A group of lost dogs, unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, Li Po hummed in his heart, and even the joy of the imminent victory was diluted a lot.

In addition to Xu Shiyun, there is also Zhang Liang.

This person Li Po really doesn't have any inherent impression in his mind, but his experience makes Li Po's eyes light up slightly, this person is the military judge next to Li Mi.

Now there is indeed a lack of a strict and fearful person in charge of military law around him, Li Bi is pregnant, Xue Wanjun is a little slimy, he has never been in charge of military law before, and he is a descendant from Youzhou, so it is inevitable that he has a heart of self-preservation.

This makes the operation of the Judge Advocate General's Department very unsmooth, and many things have to be reported to him for decision......

Well, it's still a bit far to think about this, what kind of temperament these Henan generals are, it takes a while to observe, and when they come to his command, they can be reused immediately, so far they are Chen Xiaoyi, Wen Yanbo and other literati, and there is no general.

In the evening, under the starlight, the names of Xu Shiyun and Zhang Liang were quietly removed from the blacklist by Li Po and labeled as waiting for inspection.

The Tang army was in chaos for half a night, and I don't know how many people died in this night, anyway, the thick smell of blood gradually wafted on the banks of the Fenshui, and in the turbulent Fenshui, the heads of people were rolling and going down the river, which was the Tang soldiers who fell into the river in a panic or wanted to escape along the river.

Under the moonlight, within a radius of dozens of miles, the figures were all Tang Army soldiers who had escaped from the camp.

Some of them saw the opportunity quickly, and hurried south in groups, like a group of nocturnal animals, trying to avoid the fire.

Before dawn, the Tang army camp gradually fell silent, and there were not many other sounds except for the terrifying screams of the wounded.

In the Tang army camp, which was less than ten miles long and wide, the fighting had ended, and the exhausted people gathered together violently.

Li Shentong's handsome flag was still flying high, and thousands of Guanxi soldiers surrounded the handsome flag and confronted the Henan troops who had gathered around.

In fact, most of the fighting in this half night was between the Henan army and the Guanxi army, and the various departments of Jindi had already dispersed.
