A large number of Western Qin cavalry rushed from the right rear of the Lu Ziqi military formation, and these cavalry were sometimes scattered and sometimes neat. When a large number www.biquge.info of bows and arrows were shot from the rebel army, these soldiers were scattered in a blink of an eye, and the armor of the Western Qin cavalry was light and strong, not only was it powerful, but its defensive power was far beyond that of other cavalry of the same era, and the waves of bows and arrows flying from the rebel army were just like tickling. When the rebels' arrows stopped, the Western Qin cavalry gathered again in the blink of an eye to form a neat column of high-speed marching neat formations.

"Bow-" With Li Sheng's loud roar, the cavalry of the Western Qin army opened their bows and released arrows one after another, and waves of arrows flew towards the rebel bow and arrow positions, and arrows fell from the sky like locusts, causing continuous heavy casualties to the unprotected rebel crossbowmen.

Seeing that the Western Qin cavalry was about to rush in front of him, the rebel general shouted: "Gun array-"

The remaining rebel crossbowmen retreated one after another, and a team and a column of pikemen stepped forward and squatted on the ground with their spears in their hands, and the rebel soldiers thought that the Western Qin cavalry would rush over and crash into the gun forest, but the first member of the Western Qin general yelled: "Points-"

The Western Qin cavalry immediately pulled the reins, and the entire sprinting cavalry team rushed into two to bypass the left and right sides of the middle of the team, but the bows and arrows shot out without stopping, and the soldiers in the rebel spear array kept screaming after being hit by the arrow, and a large area fell, and the spear array soon became tattered and full of holes.

When the first place of the Western Qin cavalry was changed, and the front part came around again in front of the tattered military formation, it was Li Sheng who took the lead, and with his loud roar: "Charge the battle with me-" The Western Qin cavalry lined up in a neat and dense line, put away their cavalry bows, took out their swords and brandished them and rushed towards the rebel army formation.

If the penetration of the enemy's military formation is required when charging into battle, the cavalry spear is the most suitable, but if the lethal effect is pursued, the knife is the best, and the scimitar-like weapon is suitable for chopping on horseback.

The ferocious Western Qin cavalry rushed into the tattered rebel gun array, killing the rebel soldiers like chopping watermelons, crying father and mother, they all dropped their weapons and fled everywhere, the gun array soon collapsed, and the fleeing rebel pikemen swept in, and in the military array behind, the originally neat military formation was quickly disrupted.

A lieutenant rode a fast horse and ran to Lu Ziqi panting and reported: "General, the big thing is not good, the gun array did not block the incoming cavalry, they are proficient in the method of riding and shooting, our army has suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers are trying to flee for their lives, they scattered the formation, and the right rear side can't resist it!" ”

Lu Ziqi's face turned a little pale, and he immediately said: "General Chuanben's order, transfer the Chinese army and the rear army to withstand the attacking enemy army!" ”

A general next to him clasped his fists and said: "General, our army does not have an advantage in terms of strength, if we transfer all the Chinese troops, we will not be able to withstand Guo Ziyi's men and horses on the other side!" ”

Lu Ziqi was about to get angry, at this time Guo Ziyi's army had already dispatched and launched a full-scale charge, at this time, if Guo Ziyi didn't know how to do it, it would be a bit of a waste.

Lu Ziqi was shocked and scolded: "Guo Ziyi is really cunning, brothers, rush up with this general to kill Guo Ziyi!" ”

None of the rebel soldiers are fools, many of these rebel soldiers are veteran oilers, know how to read the style, and now they are obviously attacked from both sides, and at this time they are still rushing forward is undoubtedly the rhythm of looking for death, after the order is issued, although these veteran soldiers are rushing forward, but the speed is very slow, many people are running while untying the straps of the armor, ready to throw away the armor and flee at any time.

Sure enough, after the head-on confrontation, the rebel soldiers had no fighting spirit and collapsed in an instant, Lu Ziqi shouted and cut his throat, hacking to death dozens of soldiers who turned around and fled, but could not stop the rout from spreading.

The adjutant general pulled the reins of Lu Ziqi's war horse and shouted: "General, you can't do anything, let's withdraw quickly, it's too late to withdraw now, if it's a little later, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out!" ”

Lu Ziqi turned his head to look left and right, and found that the situation was irreversible, so he had to grit his teeth and shout: "Withdraw!" ”

This retreat announced that the defeat of the rebels was decided, and the Tang army took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill, Lu Ziqi had 30,000 horses, and only more than 6,000 people could escape back to Zhongmu. After escaping to Zhongmu, Lu Ziqi immediately gathered the defeated troops and arranged the city defense, preparing to block the Tang army's offensive pace in Zhongmu, but he also knew that Zhongmu was only a small county town, the city defense fortifications were simple, and the city walls were not thick or tall, so they could not stop the Tang army with 100,000 male divisions.

At this time, the rebels in Songzhou could not stop the joint attack of Zang Xiyan and Huainan Jiedu envoy Wei Yuanfu, Li Lingyao with 20,000 remnants of the defeated army broke through from the northwest and fled from Songzhou, all the way to Ningling, but the Tang army was in hot pursuit, and Li Lingyao could only continue to flee to Yongqiu.

However, when Li Lingyao heard that Lu Ziqi was defeated by the Tang army and lost more than 20,000 people, and was surrounded by the Tang army in Zhongmu, he was shocked.

Li Lingyao no longer ignored the warning of Tian Yue, who was far away in Caozhou, and fled back to Bianzhou with 20,000 soldiers and horses.

On June 12, after holding out for 12 days, the city ran out of food and grass, ran out of arrows, and the weapons were unusable, and the rebel soldiers fell into despair. Late that night, Tian Yue's general Lu Ziqi was killed by his generals in Zhongmu County, and the next morning, the rebels in Zhongmu City surrendered.

On June 14, Guo Ziyi led a large army to the city of Bianzhou and besieged Bianzhou with Zang Xiyan and Wei Yuanfu.

Tian Yue, who was in Caozhou, finally reached an agreement with Li Na, the envoy of Ziqing Jiedu, to use the existing occupied territory as the boundary and not invade each other. Tian Yue was able to free his hands and personally led an army of 50,000 from Caozhou to Bianzhou, trying to lift the siege of Bianzhou.

Although Tian Yue is young, he knows the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, once Li Lingyao is destroyed, the spearhead of the imperial court will definitely be directly aimed at him, the envoy of Wei Bojie. The Biansong region is a buffer zone and defensive barrier between him and the imperial court, and the Biansong region is recaptured by the imperial court, so he has to face the imperial court, and he doesn't want to be destroyed, so he can only stand up to Li Lingyao.

Tian Yue confidently led the army to Bianzhou, but was attacked by Li Sheng's army in Guxian County, and the losses were serious, and only more than 10,000 of the 50,000 elites remained. The Western Qin Iron Cavalry is unparalleled in the world, where is the opponent of Tian Yue's army in the wild? After Tian Yue was hit hard, he was no longer able to rescue Li Lingyao and had to return to Wei Bo.

The Tang army besieged Bianzhou, and soon launched a siege, half a month later, the city wall of Bianzhou was thrown by stone bullets and was riddled with holes, Li Lingyao knew that he could not escape, and in despair he drew his sword and killed himself. His subordinates cut off his head, opened the city gates, and surrendered to the Tang army, and Bianzhou returned to the imperial court.

On the night of the first day of July, Tang Army coach Guo Ziyi, deputy marshals Zang Xiyan and Wei Yuanfu; supervising the army Lu Qi, Ma Chenggong, Gu Tongde, Mu Zihe; Generals Wei Boyu, Luo Yuanguang, Qin Zhen, Xu Yongtian, Dai Xiuyan, Wang Ziyan, Fan Xichao, Gao Chongwen, and other deputy generals and the next level of supervision gathered together in the Bianzhou Mansion and held a feast. In addition, Li Sheng, the general of the Western Qin Army, and his lieutenant generals were also invited to the table as honored guests.

"Hahaha, General Li, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect to meet here today, the general defeated Tian Yue's 50,000 elites with 5,000 cavalry, it is really one to ten, such a big victory is really rare, the old man toasts you!" Zang Xiyan picked up his wine glass and said with a smile to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng hurriedly returned the salute: "Zang Shuai praises falsely, it's too polite, Li Sheng is ashamed!" It should be Li Shengjing Zang Shuai, do it first! ”

Guo Ziyi also raised his glass and said to Li Sheng: "More than ten years ago, I heard that there was a brave and resourceful general named Li Sheng under the command of the regent, and I longed for it at that time, but I suffered from it and never had the opportunity, I thought that I would have a chance to meet General Li soon after I had a chance to meet with the regent's army in Hebei, but I didn't want the court to transfer the regent to quell the Tubo attack, General Li also went with him, and never saw him, I didn't expect to see it this time, and I had to help the general to exterminate the traitor Li Lingyao and beat Tian Yue away." The old man toasts you! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Li Shengjing Guo Dashuai cup! Li Sheng immediately picked up his wine glass and drank another glass.

With Guo Ziyi and Zang Xiyan taking the lead, the other supervising troops and generals began to toast Li Sheng, although Li Sheng didn't drink much, but he couldn't stand the crowd, and the two lieutenants immediately blocked the wine and drank it after seeing it, which gave Li Sheng time to take a breath.

Being able to exterminate Li Lingyao so quickly and beat Tian Yue away is indeed worth celebrating, although Guo Ziyi, Zang Xiyan and others are not young, but because they are happy, they also drink with some young generals, and everyone drinks from dark to late at night.

Because Guo Ziyi is the commander, he lives in the mansion, and the marshal's camp is located in this Bianzhou mansion, and everyone else has a residence in the city.

The soldiers guarding the door of the government were about to close the door, at this time a carriage stopped at the door of the government office, Cui Youfu, a scholar from the middle school, got down from the carriage, and two entourages followed behind, he came to the front of the government and called the soldiers who were about to close the door, and arched his hand and said: "This little brother, I am tired of reporting it, and I said that Cui Youfu asked to see General Guo Yao, this is my famous thorn!" ”

After taking it, the soldier looked at Cui Youfu a few times, and dropped a sentence: "Wait a minute, my lord!" ”

However, he said that Lu Qi, who was drunk, left the government in a carriage not long ago, and was on the way back to his residence, when he suddenly remembered that someone in the gendarmerie had complained to him yesterday that Guo Ziyi's sixth son, Guo Hua, had not given money for the things he sold on the street, and the stall owner had pulled him and refused to let him go.

Lu Qi thought about it and thought that although this matter was a bit serious, Guo Hua was Guo Ziyi's son after all, and he was also a concubine, if he didn't care about arresting Guo Wu, he was afraid that it would affect the next counterinsurgency matters, so he decided to return to the government to see Guo Ziyi, and it was best to let Guo Hua surrender himself to the gendarmerie, so that he could also reduce the punishment according to the relevant regulations.

"Turn around!"

"Yes, sir!" The coachman agreed, and turned around and returned to the palace.
