Chapter 752: The Autumn Breeze, Chen Tao Slanted

He is here.

He was recruiting Xijing and defending Pu. Fang Guan, the military governor of Tong and the horses, rode a white horse and a crimson cloak, faced the rising sun in the sky, and came towards the Tang army formation.

At this critical moment of history's rise and fall, drums sounded on the edge of the Wei River, shaking the earth.

Located in the first formation is the Shence Army, one of the Eight Army of Longyou, led by the army envoy Cheng Rumiao. This is a new armed force, formed by the former Longyou Jiedushi Geshuhan. Now, after being summoned by the court, they have entered the court to suppress the rebellion. They carry the mission of history, carry the sustenance of the Tang Dynasty, and are the backbone of the suppression of the rebellion.

Now we are heading towards us... What we are about to inspect is Tiancheng Army, which is also a benevolent and righteous army with good work style and capable of fighting tough battles. It was reorganized after the defeat in Tongguan...

Liu Zhi, the staff officer of the Jiedushi, crossed his hands and praised, "Who can defeat Chang'an and support the country now? Who can do that? I am ridiculous? Li Siye relies on his old achievements to reap the capital and is arrogantly called the number one general of the Tang Dynasty. But what has he made since he entered Guanzhong? He just wanted to win Fengxiang, but after Sanguan, he could not retreat and passively defended and killed more than 10,000 enemies. He even made a group of literati brag about what he wanted to pacify the world, and he must be Li in Hexi."

The marching Sima Li Yi also laughed and said, "There are also Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi who have won some small victories in Hedong and Hebei, so they are complacent and don't know what old-fashioned and steadfast are. Although Fang Xiang and us today have no power to lift a tripod, they have no ability to hold a bow and drive. With this white robe and wisdom in their hearts, they will send troops to Chang'an to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Fang Guan held a feather fan in his hand and shook his head, saying, "Hey, how can those who are in the world belittle others to praise themselves? I am a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty and have emerged. You and I are not the bright moon? How can we cover up the glory of others? Besides, people were able to travel thousands of miles to attack the big food and win? This is something that ordinary people cannot do. However, this person is only bound to small victory and defeat without a big pattern. The limit of military conquering soldiers is its ability. You and I read the book of the saint? They are naturally in love with the world? This battle is for the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty. It is not relying on powerful Liang and military generals to pacify the world with Confucian generals!"

The military supervisor who followed them, Xing Yanen couldn't help but sneer in secret. These sour and corrupt battles have not been fought yet? Just brag about it like this? Measure your skills first.

They came to the dock at the end of the team, and many generals standing below were waiting. Fang Guan turned over and dismounted, holding a slogan in his left hand and a command box in his right hand? strode to the stage.

Click the table to put a case on the table? He turned around and knelt behind the case, placed the Jiezhao and the arrows on the case, pulled out the arrows from the order box and said loudly: "Yang Xiwen!"

"Here," General Yang Xiwen walked out of the array and responded with his hands crossed.

"I ordered you to lead my Southern Army from Yishou to Chang'an? Near to Xiwei Bridge and wait until the central army arrives before setting off."

Yang Xiwen walked up to the station? He took the command arrow with both hands.

"Liu Bian!"

"The last one will be there!"

"I ordered you to lead the central army from martial arts to Xiwei Bridge and head to Chang'an!"

"Here!"

"Li Guangjin!"

Li Guangjin looked a little hesitant? He tilted his head and crossed his hands: "Here,"

"I ordered you to lead the Northern Army from Fengtian to arrive at the Binqiao!"

"Here!"

After the point is over? Fang Guan and many staff members act together with the Central Army? He took the Central Army and the Northern Army as the vanguard? He arrived at the bridge within two days.

The rebel spies received this information in advance and quickly rode a fast horse to the Forbidden Garden Camp where An Shouzhong was stationed. An Shouzhong quickly discussed with Zhang Tongru, who was stationed in Xijing, and Li Guiren and Sun Xiaozhe, who were stationed in Chang'an.

"The court came in full force. In addition to the 50,000 horse and infantry, it also arranged two thousand taels of fighting chariots as a formation."

Sun Xiaozhe played with a string of human bone beads in his right hand and asked casually: "Character Formation? Is this a new tactic? I tell you, Chang'an cannot be abandoned for the time being. There are still many treasures in the city that have not been plundered, and there are also many beauties and wives from the royal family who need to be sent to Luoyang."

Zhang Tongru smiled and said, "This is not a new tactic. It's just a pick-up of the ancients' Yahui. General An can be assured to bring troops to fight. We are backed by Chang'an, so we naturally have to take the initiative and choose favorable terrain. As for dealing with the cattle, horse and carriage array, the general can prepare more grease and wet firewood to be used as a backup at that time."

"But the enemy is coming in a fierce manner, and it will take some time for us to gather troops. I'm afraid it's too late to prepare these things."

Zhang Tongru raised his hand and said, "Why do you need to gather troops? General An can lead your troops and firewood and grass to prepare. General An, remember that we need to entrench in favorable terrain, at least at the upper air outlet."

An Shouzhong immediately summoned 20,000 troops from his headquarters, including 5,000 Yiluohe River. He also obtained a large amount of dry and wet firewood and grease from Zhang Tongru, and followed the post road in Xianyang County to the west slope of Chen Taoze on the banks of the Wei River.

On the 21st, Fang Guan's Northern Army and Central Army also advanced together to the east of Chen Tao. He himself valued Liu Zhi very much and once said that although the rebels' Yeluohe cavalry was strong, how could they defeat my adviser Liu Yi? He asked at this moment without shame: "Liu Zhengjun, how should he take the enemy at this time?"

As a military enthusiast, Liu Yi also had some insights and said to Fang Guan with his hands crossed his hands: "The terrain occupied by our army is wide and flat, and the enemy is at the slanted upper air outlet of Chen Tao, which is beneficial to the terrain, so it is not advisable to move forward. You should defend on the spot and wait for the Southern Army to arrive before making a decision."

But Xing Yanen, the military supervisor, was unwilling to wait, and his hands were tied in his sleeves and urged: "Secretariat, don't delay any more. Do you know how much food and grass are needed for these 50,000 troops here a day? The rebels want to take advantage of the terrain advantages, and you also want to take advantage of the terrain advantages, so there is no need to fight this battle. There are five or six rebels in Chang'an, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, so we only have a lot of food. They can afford to delay, but we can't afford to delay."

Fang Guan wanted to wait, but Xing Yanen repeatedly urged him, so he had to wave the flag and shout, "Plant the formation! Head towards the enemy!"

It took some effort to set up two thousand chariots in sequence, because the livestock were not as obedient as humans, and the stewards kept scolding and whipping away. Their powerful enemy rebels were not as ruling as the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period, and had already prepared strategies to deal with them.

The Tang army began to advance in unison towards Chen Tao. The royal husbands waved their whips to drive the cattle, horses and chariots to push out deep ruts and smoke and dust on the plains. The bodies of the car were sparkling and the war horses were rustling, like the moving steel wall, and the crimson flags fluttered with the autumn wind. Faced with this situation, Fang Guan suddenly became bold, as if he was in an ancient battlefield two thousand years ago. He was the imposing commander of the Qin army.

He opened his mouth and chanted: "The war horses are neighing and welcoming the enemy! The autumn wind is bleak and fighting on Changpo! The carriages are driving and strolling on Chang'an. Your kindness is so kind that the world is peaceful!"

The staff praised: "Good resignation! Good resignation! This situation is right now!"

At this time, the autumn wind suddenly became much stronger, and the dust raised by the chariot swept back, blew Fang Guan's eyes. He hurriedly rubbed his eyelids, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart, but it flashed away, and he could no longer hold it like inspiration.

The infantry formation followed closely behind the chariot, which could not only avoid arrows shot by the enemy, but also rely on the chariot formation to fight back. It already had the smell of tank warfare in the European battlefield, but unfortunately the power of the chariot was a living creature that ate grass.

An Shouzhong placed the cavalry behind the infantry formation for the first time, and the Yan army wearing felt hats and iron armor were on guard, with their eyes as like wolves and jackals. The row of soldiers in front held shovels in their hands, and the second row of soldiers held firewood in their arms. An Shouzhong held the flag in his hand and looked at the enemy chariot array that was getting closer and closer.

He quickly waved the flag: "Dust!"

The first row of thousands of soldiers waved their shovels to lift the dry soil in front of them into the air. In an instant, Chen Tao's slanting slope seemed to have rolled up a storm, driving a cart, ox and horse, making a long neighing sound, but the drivers waved their whips to command calmly to soothe the irritable tempers of the livestock.

An Shouzhong waved the flag again: "Light!"

The second row of soldiers stepped forward and poured the wet and dry firewood in their arms and lit it. The rising white smoke rolled like a dragon on the horizon along with the greased black smoke. The thick smoke spread down the wind along a line, covering the Tang army in the thick smoke.

"Cavals attack!"

Wuqian Yiluohe held the flammable Song Ming and Ganchai in his arms, covered the horse's face with a wet cloth and charged forward from both sides. When he approached the enemy chariot, he quickly lit and threw it out, threw it in front of the cattle and horse, and then quickly turned around and turned back.

The thick smoke and smoke made the cows cry, and even the soldiers following them could not bear it. They covered their mouths and noses and coughed repeatedly. At this moment, a flame ignited in front of them. The burning pain caused the livestock who were instinctively turning their bodies, pulled the chariot and rushed over without thinking.

The cattle and carriages were fighting each other, and the wheels were handed over toward the soldiers behind! The infantry could not dodge as much as being knocked down by the running cattle, and the wheels were bumping over their bodies. Just now, the Tang army camp was in a mess.

Fang Guan rode a white horse in front of the big rolling flag behind him, and his mentality broke in an instant, and he opened his throat and roared with soreness: "Do away! Dodge away! Dodge away the car array! It's all!"
