Chapter 1979

If you are an experienced veteran, you can immediately judge that the strange smell emanating from the second floor of the teahouse is murderous. However, the guards and soldiers in Sichuan didn't notice it. They just felt that it made them uncomfortable.

Ignoring others, the bodyguard went directly to Tang Yin, arched his hands with a smile and said, "do you have your name?"

Tang Yin turned to the guard with a smile and said, "in the early Tang Dynasty, what can I do for you?"

"I came here at the order of my general. Please wait here for a moment."

"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "what are you waiting for? What time will it wait? "

The bodyguard said, "when my general exterminates the rebels outside the city and returns to the city, I will meet you again."

"Your general is..."

The bodyguard's waist was stiff, and his face naturally showed pride. He said in a vibrating voice, "my general is Commander-in-Chief of the 17th army of Dachuan, general Chai songchai!"

"Oh, it's general Chai." Tang Yin nodded and continued to drink his tea slowly without saying anything more.

Seeing that he heard the name of the general was so plain, the bodyguard frowned subconsciously and looked at Tang Yin carefully.

However, they did not say no, and the general told him not to be rude. Even though he was dissatisfied, he tried not to attack.

In the end, Chen Lihua left two regiments stationed in Qijia city. He himself led about 100000 Sichuan army main forces to pursue and kill the rebels who had abandoned the city.

The rebels left more than an hour earlier than them, but the speed was very slow. When the front troops of the Sichuan army chased out of the city 20 Li, they saw the tail of the rebels.

Due to the distance, it is not clear to see the specific situation, but we can already see the dust rolled up by the army in front of us.

Knowing that the former army could see the tail of the rebels, Chen Lihua immediately ordered his own cavalry to attack first, catch up with the rebels and try their best to disrupt the formation of the rebels.

At present, the number of cavalry in Sichuan army is no less than 10000. The momentum of the charge is amazing. The tremor of the ground and the roar like thunder can be felt several miles away.

No matter how fast the rebels run, they can't run faster than the four hoofs of their horses. It didn't take long for Sichuan cavalry to see clearly the rebel fleeing in front of them.

The main general of the cavalry roared, and then the cavalry soldiers in Sichuan raised their spears one after another, and the spear tip pointed out the horse's head, ready to kill the enemy.

In any case, they called on Chuan's cavalry to avoid the attack of the enemy's troops, and they did not immediately stop fighting the rebel troops.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 20 meters, and the cavalry of Sichuan rushed forward with all their strength. The four hooves of the horses galloping like flying, like an arrow from the string, straight into the rebel's array.

Cavalry is a sharp weapon to restrain infantry. As long as the difference of forces between the two sides is not too great, the infantry will be totally vulnerable under the attack of cavalry. At the moment when the two sides wanted to contact each other, a continuous whistle came out of the rebel camp. With the whistle, the huge rebel array was immediately divided into two, and the dense soldiers scattered on both sides like the tide. In an instant, a wide gap appeared in the center of the rebel camp, which avoided the edge of Sichuan cavalry.

Sichuan cavalry almost head into the gap in the rebel camp.

Cavalry is not afraid of your infantry and his hard encounter, they can use the impact of the horse, in a short time, they can flatten the front enemy, and when the situation is favorable, they can also smash the entire enemy array. This is the terrible part of cavalry's attack. At this time, however, the rebel tactics were very skillful. They did not give the cavalry a chance to fight hard. The officers and soldiers cooperated orderly and skillfully avoided the edge of Sichuan cavalry. At this time, the Sichuan cavalry's attack was like a punch on the soft cotton, which surprised all the soldiers of Sichuan cavalry.

Sichuan cavalry almost ran into the hinterland of the rebel camp without hindrance. When looking forward, the soldiers of the Sichuan army did not change much. They saw a huge wooden shield suddenly erected in front of the rebel camp.

These wooden shields, like rafts, are tied together with hemp ropes. They are two meters high and one meter wide. On the surface of the shields, bamboo sticks are inserted into them.

But at this time, it was too late for Sichuan cavalry to change the direction of their charge. The cavalry in front of them almost hit the huge wooden shield firmly. With a dull bang, the cavalry and their horses were stabbed with bamboo sticks until they died. The bodies of both men and horses were hung on the wooden shield.

Of course, behind the wooden shield, there were a sea of soldiers and soldiers, who were forced to fight by hard top cavalry.

The powerful impact also made the soldiers in front of them gush blood. Some people were crushed to death on the spot, but their bodies were still standing under the backlog.

With the block of wooden shield, the galloping Sichuan cavalry stopped, and the most terrifying rush array of cavalry disappeared. At this time, the Zhen army, which had retreated to both sides, killed back.oh dear! The commander of Sichuan cavalry breathed his breath and realized that something was wrong. The rebels were not fleeing at all. This was a trap set for his own cavalry. He did not have time to think carefully, and hastily ordered the rear team to change into the front team and withdraw from the enemy line.

But now it is too late for him to withdraw. The great gap that the Zhenjun camp originally split up was closed again and sealed. Looking at the situation on the battlefield, earth shaking changes have taken place.

About 10000 Sichuan cavalry were surrounded by tens of thousands of Zhen legions and looked around them. They could not see the boundary at all.

When the cavalry charged, no one could stop them. But once the cavalry stopped and were still trapped in a narrow space, their fighting power was sharply reduced, even worse than infantry.

Soon, the full siege of the Zhen army began. The soldiers of the Zhen army were all staring at the blood red eyes and rushed forward like wild animals. Many Sichuan cavalry were sitting on their horses. They couldn't even see where the enemy was coming from, so they were knocked down by the Zhen soldiers. Many of them were broken neck bones on the spot, and their heads with helmets twisted to one side.

From the beginning, the battle was extremely bloody and fierce. Sichuan cavalry were on horseback. They were armed with spears, stabbing or picking to kill the Zhen army that was swarming around. The Zhen army was even fiercer, rushing forward one after another, and shooting arrows from time to time to kill the cavalry on the horse.

When the two sides were at war, the main force of the Sichuan army headed by Chen Lihua arrived. Seeing that the front had been formed into a regiment and his own cavalry were still trapped in the enemy's line, Chen Lihua was in a great hurry and immediately ordered the whole army to suppress it and fight the rebels to death.

With the arrival of the main force of the Sichuan army, the whistle in the Zhen army camp rose again. This time, the Zhen army was no longer interested in fighting, and the whole army retreated to let out the Sichuan cavalry who were trapped in the center of their own camp.

The fighting time between the two sides was not long. However, after all the Zhen troops retreated, most of the 10000 Sichuan cavalry soldiers were killed and wounded, with only 3000 left. If the main force of the Sichuan army came half a step later, the 10000 cavalry would have to be made dumplings by the Zhen Army. I'm afraid the last one would not survive.

The chief General of Sichuan cavalry is now covered with injuries. He is like a blood gourd with people and horses. He can't tell which is his blood and which is the enemy's blood. He drove his horse to Chen Lihua. After stopping, he nearly fell off his horse.

Gasping for breath, he said in a quick voice: "general, the rebels are obviously prepared to use the huge wooden shield to restrain our cavalry. The rebel's escape may also be a trick they used to lure the enemy..."

The rebels are the first to run, but they can be easily overtaken by our own army. If you think about it carefully, there are too many unreasonable things.

Before his words fell, Feng Yu, commander-in-chief of the 16th army, severely reprimanded him: "you should not increase the morale of the enemy and destroy the prestige of our own family. There are only 30000 or 40000 rebels left, and there are flat plains all around. Where can you draw the enemy in?"

"Yes Gao Peng, commander-in-chief of the 11th army, also said: "the defeated army, who killed 30000 or 40000 people with 10000 horses, actually lost most of his troops. He was besieged by the defeated army and nearly lost all his troops. I really don't know how you fought this battle."

Listening to his words, Chen Lihua said in a deep voice dissatisfied: "well, now is not the time to say this."

Speaking, he looked at the general of Sichuan cavalry, and said in a soft tone, "General Zhang, it's hard for you to lead your brothers back to the city for a rest."

"General, the rebels are really abnormal. Don't be careless..."

"Chen Lihua cut off his words and waved his hand

After the remnants of the Sichuan cavalry retreated, only the East-West confrontation between the Sichuan army and the Zhen army was left on the battlefield.

The strength of the Sichuan army is 90000, while that of the Zhen army is about 40000, which is more than twice the difference between the two sides.

Chen Lihua specially urged Ma to come to the front of the two armies. Looking at the Zhen army opposite, she yelled: "I am the commander of the Ninth Army of Sichuan. Chen Lihua, ask Li Shu to come out and talk to me!"

After waiting for a long time, the Zhen army camp stepped out of a horse, and there was a Sichuan general on his horse. He looked only in his thirties. He was of average stature and plain appearance, and there was nothing unusual about his whole body.

The man bowed his hand to Chen Lihua and yelled: "I've heard of General Chen for a long time. I'm lucky to see you today."

Chen Lihua narrowed her eyes and looked at the other side carefully. Because the distance was too far, he could only see the outline of the other side. As for the specific shape, he could not see it at all. "Is your excellency Li Shu?" he asked suspiciously

"In the lower Yin Li!"

Yin Li? Chen Lihua's face is at a loss. Who is Yin Li? Among the main generals of the rebels, it seems that there is no such number as Yin Li! His face sank and he said, "nobody, let Li Shu come out and talk to me."

"General Chen may have no idea. I am now the commander-in-chief of the Zhen army. If General Chen has anything to say, just tell me, and you don't have to trouble the general."
