"Guerrilla master!"
Yang Gao almost instantly figured out the arrangements for Peng Yue. As the Tang army suffered repeated defeats, Li Yuan levied excessive taxes on the people of Guanzhong in order to continue to recruit new soldiers and maintain a large amount of military expenditures. Those Guanlong nobles who provided Li Yuan with money and food also collected money from the people. Knocking on bones and sucking out marrow to compensate for the loss.
Huang Chao, the leader of the peasant uprising army in the late Tang Dynasty, had previously entered the system. Yang Gao guessed that an unprecedented peasant uprising would soon occur in Guanzhong. Therefore, Yang Gao planned to send Peng Yue to sneak into Guanzhong first, and use Peng Yue's talent for guerrilla warfare to stir up chaos in Guanzhong and never give Li Yuan a chance to develop steadily.
"Capture Yang Gao alive, capture Yang Gao alive!"
Just when Yang Gao was thinking about arrangements for the newly born Peng Yue, more than 10,000 Tang troops led by Li Youliang shouted loudly and approached the Sui army's battle formation.
"Don't overestimate your capabilities!"
Looking at Li Youliang who was shouting loudly, with uncontrollable excitement on his face, and his eyes shining, Yang Gao sneered disdainfully: "After I came to this world, after many years of fighting and the support of the system, I dare not say that I can compare with Han Bai." Li Yue, but if you pay more, you are still a fool."
"All the troops are in formation, let's show Li Youliang some color first!"
Yang Gao gave an order, and more than ten thousand troops under his command quickly formed a charging formation. Two fierce men, Li Cunxiao and Yu Wen Chengdu, each holding weapons, lined up on the left and right, roaring out to face the Tang army.
Da da da! ! !
The sound of horse hooves was earth-shattering, four hooves were flying, the war horses were neighing and roaring into the sky. The officers and soldiers of the Sui army were like tigers descending from the mountain, overwhelming the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the two armies collided. Amid the galloping horses, countless Sui and Tang soldiers who were knocked to the ground turned into flesh and dust. For a time, the sounds of horses neighing, neighing, collisions, and screams were intertwined and the sound was endless.
The battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and the winner was already decided. Although the armies of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were almost the same in terms of military strength, in terms of combat power, the Tang army was pieced together. The real main combatants had already been brought to the Hebei battlefield by Chai Rong and Guo Ziyi and were completely defeated by Li Yuanji. The combat power of Li Youliang's army was between Between the first and second lines.
The Sui army's Lien Zhan and Lien Jie's morale was at a high level. Their troops, especially the imperial guards under Yang Gao, were all tall, majestic and powerful men. I dare not say that one could fight ten, but one could fight five. It can still be done with one against three.
More importantly, the Sui army had Yang Gao personally in charge, and the emperor's personal expedition was a great boost to morale. In the Battle of Chanyuan in history, Song Zhenzong, an emperor who was not a good military expert, came to the front line in person, and all the Song army's troops shouted long live. After hearing it for dozens of miles, the momentum is a hundred times greater.
In terms of command, Yang Gao, who has followed Yue Fei, Xue Rengui, Li Jing and other famous generals on the battlefield for many years, has also honed his good command skills and keen sense of catching fighter opportunities, which is much better than the violent and irritable Li Youliang.
Among the Tang army, except for Li Youliang and other die-hard elements of the Tang Dynasty who wanted to capture and kill Yang Gao, most of them were depressed. On the one hand, they were not optimistic about the current situation, and more importantly, Bingzhou had been fighting against nomads since ancient times. On the front line of the nation, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who were born in Bingzhou, were dissatisfied with their cooperation with the Turks and were unwilling to fight with all their strength.
Under the influence of many factors, the Tang army and the Sui army collapsed within a short period of time.
Taking advantage of the victory, Yang Gao marched forward, waving the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand and charging forward on horseback. Li Cunxiao and Yuwen Chengdu even drove forward among the thousands of troops, as if they were entering an uninhabited land. King Yu flew left and right, his phoenix wings gilded and boring. It waved like the wind, killing all the way, and the horses' hooves passed by and there were many corpses.
Li Youliang, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army, was at a loss. He watched the Tang Army under his command be defeated like a mountain but had no good plan. He just stared at the Sui Army's imperial flag in the distance with a look of dismay on his face and murmured to himself: "How could it be? How could it be?" "
"Your Majesty, quickly withdraw your troops and move closer to the Turks. Let the Turks cover us and reorganize our formation!"
Li Xiucheng, who had disapproved of the attack from the beginning, had an anxious look on his face and shouted loudly at Li Youliang. Cao Bin, who was encouraging Li Youliang to attack, lowered his head and did not dare to say a word at the moment.
After being yelled at by Li Xiucheng, Li Youliang came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Okay, it's all up to General Li. Send someone quickly to inform Great Khan Temujin and ask him to send troops to cover us."
Before he finished speaking, dust suddenly rose on the flanks of the Turkic army, and the horns were blaring. The Turkic soldiers who were close to them turned away after hearing the sound. What caught their eyes was more than 20,000 Sui army cavalry rushing towards them like a river and sea. They shouted "Huo". The battle flag flutters in the wind.
It turned out that after Huo Qubing defeated Liu Yanqing's troops, he was originally planning to rush to Hebei to join Yue Fei's troops to jointly defeat Wokuotai and Li Keyong's troops. However, as the current situation changed, Huo Qubing keenly discovered that the overall situation in Hebei had been decided. On the contrary, the reinforcements led by Temujin were the greatest threat. They immediately decided to divert to Bingzhou and lurk all the way during the day. They tried their best to hunt down the Tang army scouts in the direction of Taiyuan and concealed the news, catching Temujin off guard.
With the war horses neighing, more than 20,000 Sui army elite cavalry swept in overwhelmingly. The heavy sound of horse hooves mixed with the loud shouts of the knights on the horses, the sound shook the sky and shook the earth!
Li Youliang, who was still retreating, was stunned again. He watched helplessly as the Youzhou cavalry commanded by Huo Qubing cut into the waist of the Turkic army like sharp weapons. The brave Sui army knights were like divine soldiers descending from the sky. Sweeping across, killing the Turks until their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Li Youliang's heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and it was so cold that he felt chilly. He knew that it was really over now. It was precisely because he, who was supposed to defend the flanks, led his troops to attack without authorization, leaving the Turkic army who was fighting with all their strength unprepared. This battle was definitely lost!
"Li Youliang is a common man, I will cut you into pieces!"
As expected, Temujin of the Turkic Army's eyes were red at this moment. If Li Youliang were in front of him at this moment, he would chop him into seven or eight pieces with a knife without hesitation. But now, the deal has been done. Even killing Li Youliang will not change anything. Temujin can only bite the bullet and try his best to save the already terrible situation: "Xiao Tianyou, Xiao Tianzuo, you speed up your troops to deploy on the flanks. Be sure to We must stop the Sui cavalry that suddenly came out and give my army time to reorganize."
Brothers Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou, who were also tall, tall and rough-looking, received the order and hurriedly led their troops to kill Huo Qubing's headquarters. One of the two brothers wielded a metal folding iron knife, and the other held a long-handled hammer with murderous intent. Teng Teng, shout loudly, be the first to attack.
"Instruct all troops to stop attacking, reorganize their formation, and form a formation to resist!"
After the Xiao brothers attacked, Temujin issued the second order without thinking.
