Turbulent Times Chapter 1713: The whole Tang army was wiped out
At the head of Shangluo city two miles away, Changsun Wuji was a little hesitant when he heard the sound of the three arrows, because he felt that today's beheading operation went too smoothly.
But the matter has come to this point, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired. Finally, he waved his hand and ordered: "The whole army goes out."
The next moment, following Changsun Wuji's order, the south gate of Shangluo City opened wide, 50,000 cavalry rushed to the front, and 50,000 infantry followed closely behind, heading towards the seemingly chaotic Da'an Kingdom. The army camp was killed.
Changsun Wuji is a civil servant and the prime minister of the Tang Kingdom, so he would not personally lead the troops to fight. The leader of the army is a general of the Tang Kingdom, named Yin Kaishan. This person is also a famous general in the original history. The thirteenth of the twenty-four meritorious officials in Shanglingyan Pavilion are Li Shimin's confidantes.
Yin Kaishan led an army of 100,000 to attack the Da'an State camp. Seeing the chaos in the enemy's camp from a distance, he was overjoyed. The orderly keeps on delivering his orders.
And he personally led 50,000 cavalrymen directly into the seemingly chaotic camp of the Da'an Kingdom. The soldiers of the Da'an Kingdom encountered on the way were no longer as brave as before. It was very fast, only a small number of them ran slowly and were hacked or shot by them.
Soon, they rushed to the center of the Da'an State camp. At this time, his 50,000 troops had all entered the Da'an State camp, and the 50,000 infantry behind him also chased up and formed formation according to his order. Enter the Da'an Kingdom camp from both sides.
However, at this moment, Yin Kaishan saw a man wearing exquisite black steel armor sitting in front of the largest tent in the Da'an State Camp, sitting behind a table, drinking a small wine.
"It's Li Jing...he's not dead..." Li Jing used to be a member of the Li Yuan Group, and this Yin Kaishan is also an old man of the Li family. He recognized Li Jing at a glance, but his face changed drastically and he let out a cry cold sweat.
"It's not good, I've fallen for the trick, withdraw quickly..." Yin Kaishan ordered the withdrawal at the top of his lungs.
It's a pity...it's too late.
As Li Jing poured a glass of wine on the ground, an orderly next to him blew the horn.
The next moment, 20,000 Anguo soldiers emerged on the left, right, and front of the Tang army who rushed into the camp.
These soldiers each hold a repeating crossbow or
As soon as the steel-string bow appeared, the sixteen drummers next to Li Jing thumped the specially-made giant cowhide drum.
The sound of the drums was an order, and the 60,000 soldiers of the An Kingdom simultaneously shot out their crossbows or steel-string bows.
The sound of the 60,000 arrows piercing the air gathered together like thunder, and they shot at the 50,000 Tang cavalry who rushed into the camp at the same time, almost covering the sky and covering almost all the cavalry of the Tang army.
When the rain of arrows fell, one-fifth of the 50,000 cavalrymen of the Tang Army fell off their horses, almost all of them died, and few of them survived the injury.
About 10,000 enemies were killed in one blow.
The reason for such a great record is that the cavalry of the Tang Army is the target at this time. It is not too much to kill about 10,000 people with 60,000 arrows. Many cavalry of the Tang Army were hit by arrows.
But then the second rain of arrows fell...
At the same time, the 40,000 Da'an cavalry divided into four groups, each with 10,000 cavalry, rushed out from both sides of the Da'an camp, like four black dragons directly charged at the 50,000 Tang infantry.
In a few breaths, the four cavalrymen cut the 50,000 infantrymen of the Tang Army into several pieces, and the battle was instantly chaotic.
………
………
Two miles away, after the army was led by Yin Kaishan, Changsun Wuji kept staring with his binoculars, and vaguely saw that Yin Kaishan rushed into the Da'an State camp as if there was no one in it. In the center of the scene, Changsun Wuji was not at all happy, and he even thumped in his heart, screaming inwardly that it was not good.
It's just that he was far away from the city, and there was no time to stop or remind Yin Kaishan.
Sure enough, the next scene made Changsun Wuji feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
"Damn Li Jing... puff..."
Changsun Wuji roared, spat out a mouthful of blood, his body was on the verge of falling, his face was pale.
He turned his head to look at the national teacher who was watching with him just now, but found that the national teacher had disappeared at some point.
Changsun Wuji is, after all, the most intelligent and capable person in the world today, and he is also a famous man and a famous figure passed down through the ages. The 5,000 soldiers left behind in Shangluo rushed out from the north gate of Shangluo City, and fled to Chang'an City as quickly as possible.
……
……
The battle outside Shangluo City was one-sided from the very beginning.
After the 100,000 Tang troops led by Yin Kaishan found out that they had been duped, the sharp drop made all Tang soldiers stunned on the spot.
This battle lasted for more than half a day, and finally ended with the annihilation of the Tang army's 100,000 troops.
Because of Li Jing's careful planning, brilliant command, military orders and prohibitions, and the horrific damage caused by weapons and equipment, in the end, no one in the Tang army, including the commander-in-chief Yin Kaishan, escaped.
Yin Kaishan was also stubborn and vowed not to surrender. In the end, he was beheaded by Yuchi Jingde himself in the frontal fight.
More than 50,000 Tang troops died in battle, and more than 40,000 surrendered.
After Li Jing entered Shangluo City, he left Lu Han to lead the Iron Spear Legion to rectify the more than 40,000 surrendered troops, and he and Yuchi Jingde led the 50,000 Tiger Legion cavalry to chase after Changsun Wuji.
In the end, Changsun Wuji didn't catch up, but he captured three more cities, defeated the two Tang armies that were intercepting, and pushed the front line directly to the border of Jingzhao Mansion, so he withdrew his troops and ordered a rest.
………
………
So far, within two months, the third army of Da'an Kingdom had reached the vicinity of Jingzhao Mansion. Li Jing, who was the closest to Chang'an, was less than two hundred miles away, and Qin Qiong, who was the farthest, was only four hundred miles away.
The 50,000 army led by Xu Shiji in the west was blocked by Li Shimin's Duan Zhixuan with 80,000 troops in Hechi County, west of Xianyang.
In the east, Qin Qiong left 50,000 troops to garrison Tongguan City and the captured city. county.
Only the northern part of Shanbei, I don't know whether Wang Junlin did it on purpose or not, but he never sent troops to attack. Even though the situation is good now, he didn't let Su Changqing, who was stationed in Mayi County, send troops south.

……
Shua!
Twenty miles to the east of Luoyang City, in the mountains on the side of the official road, a silver shadow suddenly shot out from a huge boulder, and threw a colorful giant tiger to the ground. The king of beasts was furious , with a roar of a tiger, he tried his best to resist, but was easily crushed by the silver beast, biting off his neck, his limbs twitched a few times, and then remained motionless.
