The main force of the Tang army arrived, and General Wei Chigong defected in front of the formation. Chen Yucheng and Jing Si were killed in the battle, and Li Xiucheng was captured. The morale of the Song army was greatly reduced, and it soon fell into disintegration.
Li Keyong led his four adopted sons, Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, Li Cunxu and Li Cunshen, to charge forward: "We accidentally fell into Zhao's treacherous plan and the situation in Bingzhou was as dangerous as an egg. Today is the day we avenge our shame." When the time comes, capture Zhao Kuangyin alive!"
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Li Keyong has entered a fighting state, force +3, base force 96, current force increased to 99."
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Li Siyuan has entered a brave state, his force is +4, his base force is 98, and his current force has increased to 102."
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Li Sizhao has entered the martial state, the force is +3, the base force is 97, and the current force has increased to 100."
"Ding dong, it is detected that Li Cunxu enters the charging state, the force is +4, the base force is 95, and the current force has increased to 99."
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Li Cunshen has entered a state of concentration. His force is +3, his basic force is 98, and his current force has increased to 101. There is a chance that he can see through the opponent's weaknesses and reduce his opponent's force value."
Li Ke led the charge with his father and son. The morale of his soldiers was greatly boosted. They waved their weapons and followed Li and his son like tigers down the mountain into the crowd. They killed the Song army soldiers until their flesh and blood flew everywhere, corpses were scattered all over the field, and the army was completely defeated.
Seeing that the tens of thousands of troops under his command were defeated, Zhao Kuangyin was heartbroken and couldn't help but look up to the sky and shout: "Heaven, why don't you help me, Zhao Kuangyin, achieve hegemony, but instead help that little thief Li Shimin!"
Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhao Pu, the counselor on the side, couldn't help but be anxious. He hurriedly persuaded Zhao Kuangyin: "Your Majesty, we can leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. Now that our army's defeat has been determined, we should leave quickly and go to the grassland to rely on Ironwood." What a great Khan, I will look for opportunities to make a comeback in the future!”
Zhao Kuangyin laughed miserably, shook his head and sighed: "Why do you have to deceive yourself today? Before the war started, you also said that Temujin and Gu were just using their relationship. Going to defect without soldiers or generals will only become his vassal!"
"That's better than losing your life!"
Zhao Pu stamped his foot bitterly: "Your Majesty, if you fall into the hands of Li Shimin, with the viciousness of Li and his son, you will be unable to survive or die!"
"Zhao Kuangyin, thief, do you still want to fight stubbornly after everything has happened? Get off your horse and be bound as soon as possible!"
General Li Jixuan of the Tang Dynasty urged his horse to gallop all the way. The steel spear in his hand swept left and right, and he was invincible wherever he passed.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Li Jixuan has entered a violent state, the force is +5, the base force is 99, and the current force has increased to 104."
Li Jixuan ran rampant all the way and rushed straight to where Zhao Kuangyin was, but unexpectedly a general suddenly came out from stabbing Xiali and blocked Li Jixuan's path with a sword in his hand: "General Tang, please don't hurt my master, just kill me, Cao Bin!"
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Cao Bin has entered the state of protecting the master. His force is +8, his base force is 88, and his current force has increased to 96."
"Ding dong, Cao Bin's four-dimensional ability has been detected. Commander is 90, force is 88, intelligence is 89, and politics is 81."
"Don't overestimate your capabilities!"
Li Jixuan snorted disdainfully, and Hui Shan and Cao Bin fought together. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Kuangyin, who had been persuaded, quickly fled north in embarrassment with Zhao Pu, Pan Mei and a group of soldiers.
Cao Bin tried his best to resist Li Jixuan for more than 20 rounds. Secretly thinking that Zhao Kuangyin should have run far away, he immediately forced Li Jixuan back with a feint, and a group of war horses fled north at high speed.
"The thief will leave and leave your head for me!"
Li Jixuan was not willing to give up the credit he had received, and he continued to pursue Cao Bin all the way. When Cao Bin saw Li Jixuan chasing after him, he was frightened out of his wits. He was so panic-stricken that he didn't choose his route. Unexpectedly, Liang Shitai suddenly bumped into the front. He swung the iron hammer in his hand and hit his mount on the head. He was immediately thrown away. When he went out, he was thrown into pieces, and before he could react, he was tied up by soldiers from the Tang Dynasty.
Under the powerful offensive of the Tang army, the battle finally came to an end after half a day of fierce fighting. Song generals Jing Si, Chen Yucheng, and Zhao Guangyi were killed in battle, Cao Bin and Li Xiucheng were captured, and Yuchi Gong and Xun Xiang defected in front of the formation. Except for Zhao Kuangyin, who led a thousand remaining soldiers, the rest of the 80,000 Song army were either wiped out or captured. captured.
This battle played a decisive role in the world situation. First of all, it meant that Zhao Kuangyin had withdrawn from the stage of competing in the world, and he could only rely on Temujin to survive in the future.
Secondly, the destruction of Zhao Kuangyin greatly reduced the pressure on the flanks of the Tang Dynasty. The next center of gravity of the Li and Tang Dynasties was bound to move south, and a new round of Sui and Tang hegemony was about to begin.
Third, the victory of Bingzhou greatly increased Li Tang's reputation. The Guanlong family, which had gradually distanced itself from Li Yuan due to the repeated defeats of the Tang army, re-entered the arms of Li Yuan and quickly donated a large amount of money and grain to Li Yuan to fill the treasury deficit.
. . . . . . . . . .
The news of the Battle of Bingzhou was delivered to Yang Gao by Jin Yiwei through an eight-hundred-mile expedited route. After receiving the report, Yang Gao quickly ended his plan to inspect the Central Plains and traveled back to Jiangdu at night to convene an emergency military advisor meeting.
"Li Shimin defeated Zhao Kuangyin's main force in Queshu Valley, quickly pacified the entire Bingzhou, recruited Zhao Kuangyin's surrendered soldiers, and gained tens of thousands more soldiers. Now Li Yuan appointed Chai Rong as the governor of Bingzhou, and the generals Li Keyong, Li Cunxu, Li Sizhao, Ge Shu Han was also assisted by the surrendered general Li Xiucheng, who commanded 100,000 troops and was stationed in Bingzhou to prevent Temujin from the Eastern Turks."
Yang Gaoduan sat at the head of the table and slowly read out the information sent by the Jinyi Guards to the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department: "And Li Shimin led more than 100,000 victorious troops back to the court. According to my estimate, it will not take more than three or four months. , the old thief Li Yuan will raise his troops again to challenge me for a showdown!"
Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "What your Majesty said is very true. According to Wei Chen, although Li Yuan raised troops to invade Jingxiang many times before, he always lost troops and generals and returned defeated. What's more, General Li Jing now commands ten troops. Yu Wan is stationed in Jingxiang, and the old thief Li Yuan will never dare to commit another crime. Therefore, I estimate that if Li Yuan sends troops this time, the target will most likely be Wang Shichong of the Eastern Capital."
Xu Wei, the minister of the Ministry of War, echoed: "Although Wang Shichong of the Eastern Capital is nominally surrendered to Your Majesty, he is actually a warlord who separatist power, and he looks very different from us. When fighting the Tang army in Luoyang, both we and Wang Shichong will have scruples, no matter what If you dare to use your full strength, it will be extremely easy for the Tang army to defeat them one by one."
Yu Yunwen, who returned to Jiangdu with Yang Gao, said: "Furthermore, the political status of the Eastern Capital is extremely high. The old thief Li Yuan has already taken control of the Xijing Chang'an. If he is allowed to capture the Eastern Capital again, his prestige in the world will surely rise to the next level." layer."
