973 Outside the Thirteen Taibao, Li Ke uses another adopted son
The sound of horse hooves rolling like muffled thunder sounded from the Wei army camp. The gate of the village opened wide, and large groups of armored men formed a tight formation and were about to emerge from it. The spears in the army were like forests, and the swords were shining coldly. Everyone looked fierce and fierce, showing a murderous aura that had been raising their energy for a long time and was about to bravely break the enemy.
Not only Li Tianqu, but also Fu Cunshen's army, including Xia Luqi, set out in a winding manner to the south of Gaoyi, Zhaozhou. The huge cavalry and infantry army filled the world, with clanging armor and rolling hooves and sounds of rolling hooves all the way... Gathering more than 100,000 troops and horses of more than 100,000, and chasing the north. Such a formation was enough to change the color of the wind and clouds, and the mountains and rivers were also trembling!
Li Cunxu led his troops to evacuate and left the Gaoyi border located at the junction of Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou of Chengdejun. In theory, he had only two directions of retreat:
One is the capital of Zhao State in the past, and it is still the capital of Zhenzhou Zhending City, which is still the capital of Chengde Army; the other is to continue to retreat to the northwest, enter the territory under the rule of the Hedong Army, and return to Taiyuan City, where the capital of the Later Tang Dynasty is located.
However, the Beiping Kingdom, which is located north of Zhending, Zhenzhou, controls the Yiwu Army, has turned against the Wei Dynasty and stabbed the sword in the back... If Li Cunxu retreated into the city and was almost defended, the army led by the Emperor Li Tianqu of the Wei Dynasty would easily trap the city and cut off the connection between Li Cunxu and the Hedong army. After all, Hedong is the foundation of his Shatuo Zhuye Li family. Li Tianqu and Fu Cunshen and other military generals discussed and considered it carefully. It is estimated that whether Li Cunxu had other plans, at least he would show his potential to withdraw his troops directly or return directly to Taiyuan, Hedong.
But in this way, although the Later Tang general Fu Xi of Chengde Army still guarded Zhending City, the Wei army had taken the absolute initiative here. Although the Zhending City of Zhending City, the capital of Chengde Army may have suffered a large-scale attack, and now it is isolated and helpless, and it should be only a matter of time before it is broken and lost.
According to Fu Cun, the army was deployed by the vanguard, and the leader chased and rushed to Fenglong Mountain in the south of Zhenzhou. The soldiers who were marching quickly looked at the strange peaks and rocks in the mountains, the green valleys, and the scenery was natural, which was indeed magnificent. According to legend, when Dayu controlled the flood, he subdued the dragons that caused waves and harmed the people of the Yellow River Basin and sealed them in this mountain, so he was named.
However, the Wei army's vanguard had no time to enter the valley and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains. Because just under the corner of Fenglongshan Mountain, the cavalry soldiers had discovered that they had chased and caught up with the rear formation troops of the Later Tang army.
The military academy, located in the front of the queue, whistled excitedly, and the cavalry soldiers around him were also ready to charge. The general of the Wei army who led the vanguard of the horse army was Fu Yanchao, the eldest son of Fu Cunshen. He looked into the enemy in the distance and found that the pursuers had arrived. Before fighting, the array seemed to have already begun to move...
Our army was full of morale, and finally caught up with the army with great popularity in Jin. We also fought to defeat the enemy in one go, killing the defeated Jin army first and then forming troops!
After Fu Yanchao thought about it, he immediately urged the horse to run, raised the spear in his hand, and pointed at the front. A large number of sharp-talking armored soldiers immediately rushed out with him, desperately urging the cavalry to accelerate, and rushed straight towards the chaotic Later Tang army formation in the front array!
The enemy arrived, but his morale was sluggish, and the soldiers who were still resentful to the Later Tang Army were indeed unable to fight to the death. Seeing the enemy coming towards him, several rows of queues were immediately in a row... They could not be stunned and waited for death on the spot. Even though many soldiers scattered, they looked at the fierce Wei army cavalry, and some even planned to dodge aside and then bowed to the ground and beg for life for their lives.
Fu Yanchao urged the horse to break out quickly and easily crashed into the collapsed enemy rear formation. The sharp blade of the cold spear suddenly poked out and stabbed into the front of him without any time to react. He didn't know whether to escape or attack the enemy's throat... Then the spear was pulled out, and the blood suddenly splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with it!
The Jin people were so weak that they seemed to be unable to fight... Fu Yanchao was mindful in his heart, but suddenly he found that there were still soldiers in the Later Tang Dynasty who were still gathering in a group. Even though there were many soldiers scattering around, they were scattered in front of them, but they were suppressed in the attacks of the enemy cavalry and even began to intercept them, which was quite a bit like going upstream.
A cavalry general was wearing neat armor and riding spears, leading the troops who were obviously different from the surrounding Later Tang riots. He looked over 50 years old, with an angry face. Not only was he covered in a majesty that was enough to intimidate the soldiers under his command, but he also had a tragic look of looking at death between the eyebrows of the soldiers around him.
After all, this army general of the Later Tang army commanded the army and governed the army according to historical records, "good at ease, all rewards received were distributed to his subordinates, and they were very willing to share with them, and they were quite harmonious with military intelligence." Generals had the intention to die, and the soldiers had no desire to live. Even though the morale of the Later Tang army is now extremely low and depressed, as long as there is a general who is willing to fight to the last moment for the forces they serve, they can still be infected with the soldiers under their command willing to die together and fight to the last moment.
However, the Wei army pursued the troops and was now in a situation where the morale of the army had collapsed. Most of the rest of the Later Tang troops were about to collapse... Under such circumstances, they had to be the first among the defeated troops. Faced with the continuous killing of the enemy, even if they could resist for a while, it would be difficult to reverse the fate of being completely annihilated...
"At that time, the powerful Hedong vassal army fought east and west, conquering all the heroes, and making the vassal states in the world famous... Although I was not from the Hedong army at first, I was fortunate to become my ancestor's adoptive father. Since then, I have finally turned to the wise ruler and worked hard to survive. I have always been proud of the strong Hedong army.
But now facing the enemy's pursuers, the fuckling bird did not obey the orders and was about to collapse. Such greed and fearless death really made the Hedong Army lose all the face!"
The Tang army general looked sad and angry. Seeing that the rest of the troops around him fled, he couldn't help but scolded with a heartbroken voice. He immediately turned his head and looked at the soldiers gathered by him, and sighed:
"It is true that you have the idea of greed for life. I also know that you are actually very resentful to the treacherous slander who are taking power in the court today... But a good man would rather die standing than live on his knees! Since he is determined to be a traitor in the Hedong Li family, he is pickled up on power and traitor in the court, and the bad things of the rat minions are now too lazy to care about... No matter what, as a general and a soldier in Hedong, the enemy should fight to the death!
But this fierce battle is even more dangerous. I don’t know how many people can be left to return to the countryside... If it weren’t for me, I could have fled in all directions and take care of my lives... I owe the soldiers under my command. No matter who can’t live today, this life debt should be counted on me. I just hope that when we can meet again in the next life, I will repay it with my own life!"
After hearing the general's words, a military academy immediately raised his head and replied with a sigh:
"General Li, don't say anything about debts. Pay off such misunderstandings! We are lucky enough to join the general's command, which is the fate of our previous life! The humble person no longer expects to live to tomorrow, so now he is not afraid of saying rebellious words in front of the general... Your Majesty favors the treacherous and slanderous army, and the Hedong army is not as good as the old acquaintance. The soldiers in our army are already very cold and heartbroken. If we are asked to work hard for the court to die, it would be too unworthy!
But General, you have dispersed all the soldiers under Zhou Ji, and you really share the joys and sorrows with us... What kind of officials and nobles do you think of us soldiers as pawns who can be driven by others, or as brothers who have lived in destiny? We all know it!
Didn’t the ancients say that scholars died for confidants? Although there are many robes who are young because Gu Nian’s family is not willing to fight to the death in this situation... but they are still willing to follow you, even if they don’t want to save their lives for the Li family in Hedong, but the general wants to fight, so we will fight!"
