Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 105 Impulsive and Stupid

Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang who was only 19 years old at that time, leaped into the formation... No, in fact, Li Daoxuan hadn't broken the formation yet, but when he was speeding up to the sound of drums, moths appeared in the formation of the Tang army behind him.

Xue Zhong, the chief officer of the march, looked anxiously at the many generals and schools who had gathered, and couldn't help asking loudly: "Duke Yuan, the commander is going to the battle, let the generals return to their positions and supervise the troops forward."

This is for Shi Wanbao, and also for those generals. Shi Wanbao is the deputy commander, and the king of Huaiyang is the commander.

The head coach rushed forward risking his life, but the deputy called the generals, obviously there was a change.

But Shi Wanbao didn't seem to hear it, and squinted at the charging Tang Jun Jingqi, as if trying to see clearly the young man in the front who made him swallow his anger for a long time.

This tone has been held back for several months, and it is finally time to understand.

Amidst the turbulent drums, faint cheers came from the front. Everyone looked to the north. Those present had experienced battles for a long time. Of course they knew that this meant that the coach Huaiyang King who led the Jingqi had already broken into the formation. .

Shi Wanbao laughed lightly, and there was a bit of contempt in the laughter, "The courage of the overlord is nothing more than killing himself in Wujiang."

"Yuan Guogong, go forward as the governor!" Xue Zhong threw himself on Shi Wanbao's side, grabbed Shi Wanbao's sleeve, and shouted: "The Turks are scattered all over the world, and they don't want to fight to the death. If you do, you will definitely win!"

The surrounding generals are quite eager to move, and now the world is mostly at peace. In the Central Plains and the North, Liu Heita is the strongest of the few rebels who are still jumping around.

There are not many opportunities for the founding of the country, who doesn't want it?

Shi Wanbao, who used to shrink his body, suddenly stood up on the horse, as if he had grown a part, kicked Xue Zhong away, took out a folded piece of silk from his arms with his right hand, and shouted: "Saint The edict is here!"

Thousands of troops came from the crowd, people neighed, and suddenly heard this earth-shattering scream, and the silence was very sudden, it seemed that even the sound of drums could not be heard.

"This old man is entrusted with the edict of the sage. Although the boy in Huaiyang is called the chief general, the progress of the army is all up to the old man!"

Xue Zhong, who was kicked away, looked at Shi Wanbao in disbelief as he fell into an ice cave. He was ordered to stay behind to supervise Shi Wanbao and lead his infantry forward. Unexpectedly, the other party took out a sage's edict.

"no no……"

Shi Wanbao's eyes were full of complacency and ruthlessness, but more of pleasure, "Don't you believe me?"

"Is it because the sage's edict can't match the Tiance Mansion's order?"

"This is Hebei Road, not Shandong Road!"

There was a moment of silence around, Shi Wanbao pointed at the northern halberd, "The children in Huaiyang are brave, but they don't know the art of war, they don't know how to advance and retreat, and they regard military affairs as trifling!"

Xue Zhong gasped for a few breaths, and said loudly: "Dare to ask Duke Yuan, when will you get the edict from the sage?!"

This is a key point that is easy to be criticized. It has been two months since Shi Wanbao took office as the deputy commander of the Hebei Road Army.

It wasn't until King Huaiyang, who was the general manager of the Hebei Road Army, broke through the enemy's front line and was caught in the middle of the line, that Shi Wanbao turned out his hole card...Obviously, this matter was not that simple.

Among the generals at the side, some of them had already thought that Shi Wanbao was a direct descendant of the Eastern Palace, and Li Daoxuan had always been close to the King of Qin.

Those who are well-informed know that King Qin has been left idle since sweeping the Central Plains. On this point, the sage and the East Palace are on the same side.

"Yuan Guogong." A member of the general raised his voice and asked: "Now that King Huaiyang is in battle, how should we deal with today's battle?"

Shi Wanbao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Liu Heikai is known for his cunning, and the Huaiyang kid advances recklessly. If he advances in this matter, he will definitely lose."

"The children of Huaiyang are now trapped in the battle. When they are defeated and the enemy pursues them south, they just need to be firm and wait for them, and they will be defeated!"

Several generals looked at each other, most of the army is now infantry, if King Huaiyang retreats and the Turkic army pursues south, can they stop it?
But no one jumped out...they took out the sage's edict, which meant that the knife had been raised high, who would take the initiative to send the neck up for Shi Wanbao to chop?

"Insanely stupid!"

"Insanely stupid!"

Xue Zhong, who scolded Shi Wanbao at the top of his voice, came from a famous family, knew military strategy, and mastered the art of war.

His elder brother Xue Shou joined the army as a secretary in the Prince Qin's residence, and he was proficient in the art of war. Last year when he swept the Central Plains, it was Xue Shou who made a suggestion to divide the troops into Hulao Pass and capture two kings in one battle.

Seeing the return of the general and the king of Huaiyang trapped in the battle, the desperate Xue Zhong burst into tears, "Taiping County is used to defeating the enemy with cavalry and shooting, but now some people want to defeat the cavalry with infantry!"

Shi Wanbao's face turned extremely ugly. This is Xue Zhong scolding him for not knowing the art of war... The Duke of Taiping County is his brother Shi Wansui, who was recognized by the former court as the most skilled cavalry general.

At this moment, the sound of the drums stopped early, and the Tang army with more than [-] troops was in a commotion, but they did not step forward.

Not only Li Daoxuan, who was caught in the battle and fighting hard, found out, but also the thousands of Tang cavalry.

Fear was spreading, Li Daoxuan looked from a distance, and someone was gesticulating on the hill, and it must be Liu Heitai.

However, there were several phalanxes densely packed under the hill, and there were large groups of cavalry protecting them on the left and right sides. It was impossible for the Tang cavalry who had lost their speed to rush over.

"Your Highness!" Liu Jun lost the horse in his hand, and only swung the half of the gun he didn't know where he snatched, "Your Highness, retreat, retreat!"

"Regret not to listen to the advice." Li Daoxuan's lower lip was bitten red, and Li Shan's earnest words that night, detailed analysis and the last sentence "Short-cuts and tricks" flashed through his mind.

Although I don't know what happened in the rear, but I can be sure that it is Shi Wanbao, it is Shi Wanbao, it can only be Shi Wanbao!

Under such circumstances, how dare Li Daoxuan return to the formation, he will be defeated today, but if the rout breaks his own formation, he can imagine what will happen after the battle...

"Lead your troops to the east, rush out, bypass Xia Bo and go south!"

"Go to Shenzhou...no, go to Weizhou!"

"Your Highness!" Liu Jun shouted twice in a hurry, but Li Daoxuan called out to his personal guards, forcibly accelerated, raised his horse high, gathered the remnants, and went west to kill.

A sudden cold arrow made Liu Jun have no time to think about it, so he could only turn around and head east, rushing eastward with the already small remaining troops.

Tang Jun Jingqi suddenly split into two, one facing east and the other facing west. Liu Heitai on the hill saw it clearly.

"Which one are you chasing?" The middle-aged general on the side said loudly: "Go west to Zhaozhou and Xingzhou, don't worry, chase the one going east?"

Liu Heita smiled slightly, "There is still more courage to be commended, why choose one and discard the other?"

The middle-aged general grinned, only pointing to the frontal battlefield.

"Mother!" Liu Heita couldn't help cursing again.

Li Daoxuan charged bravely, the Turkic cavalry scattered to avoid each other, and now the Tang army fled... Liu Heikai was about to send an order for the Turkic soldiers to pursue the escaped cavalry. The casualties were small, and the Turkic people must be happy.

But in fact, the Turkic cavalry scattered on the battlefield went straight south under the command of the horn, and went straight to the stagnant Tang army formation.

Liu Heikai lamented, these Turkic people are really uncles.

Trying to make them go east, they go west.

They wanted them to drive away the dogs, but they wanted to drive out the chickens.

The Turkic soldiers went straight to the big formation, nothing more than Liu Heita's previous promise to defeat the Tang army and go to Bocheng to let Er and others deal with it.

Obviously, the Turkic people never want to see that when they come back from chasing the enemy cavalry, Xiabo City has already been breached.

After thinking and thinking, Liu Heikai gritted his teeth and said nothing. Firstly, he didn't dare, secondly... he is from Beizhou. Once Jizhou is broken, if Xiabo City is not given to the Turkic people, maybe the Turkic soldiers Plunder Beizhou.

Although the Turks have been lured into Hebei, the Turks can't even let Beizhou go, right?
"Wang Xiaohu!" Liu Heita cursed with a dark face, "Take all the cavalry, chase after..."

"The one going west." The middle-aged scribe on the side pointed to the west side, "Just now I saw King Huaiyang holding up his horse and heading west."

Watching the brigade of cavalry chasing westward, Liu Heikai focused his attention on the frontal battlefield. The five thousand Tang cavalry had been torn apart, some of them fled left and right with Li Daoxuan and Liu Jun, and the rest could only fight on their own.

But the cavalry, especially the cavalry used for charging, has no speed and can only be slaughtered.

Looking into the distance, the Turkic cavalry had gathered quickly, outflanking the tens of thousands of Tang army infantry who seemed to be planning to stand still.

With only a wave of arrows, the Tang army's position has been loosened. The commander and deputy commander were in disagreement. Thousands of elite cavalry were wiped out.

Facing such an offensive from the Turkic people, Shi Wanbao, who was trying to defend himself, found in despair that even the guards around him showed signs of collapse.

Shi Wanbao thinks that everything has been planned, but in fact, Shi Wansui is a famous general, and Shi Wanshou is also an extraordinary one. Among the three brothers, Shi Wanbao is the only one who did not serve in the previous dynasty, and he does not have military talent.

Intrigue and shooting behind the back may be useful in the court, and you can even use it to gain a position, but on the battlefield, these are the keys to defeat.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the seemingly huge Tang Army formation disintegrated under the Turkic offensive, some fled backwards, some gathered crowds to fight for their lives, and some knelt down and begged for mercy.

Shi Wanbao, with less than a hundred personal guards, galloped towards the south on his horse. Behind him, the banner with the word "Shi" that had just been erected fell down.

Satisfied, Liu Heita descended the hill, rode forward on his horse, and said with a smile, "After this battle, Hebei will be restored."

The middle-aged scribe next to him is Liu Heitai's number one confidant, Fan Yuan, pointing to the west, "I'm back."

Liu Heitai turned his head to look, and saw hundreds of cavalry rolling in. The leader, Wang Xiaohu, held a horse spear and did not dismount, but kicked General Tang who was tied to the horse beside him.

"King Huaiyang."

They are all old people who have personally experienced the battle of Hulaoguan. Everyone recognizes this 19-year-old Li Daoxuan who took the lead in breaking through and raised the banner.

The commander was captured alive, and the deputy commander was expelled. The [-] elite Tang troops were almost wiped out except for hundreds of horses fleeing to the east.

In other words, in the entire Hebei Road, except for the remaining troops in the states that have not yet fallen, the Tang army is powerless.

Li Daoxuan's impulsiveness and Shi Wanbao's stupidity caused Tang Jun to lose almost all of his maneuvering forces on Hebei Road.

After nearly a month of planning and forbearance, Liu Heitai perfectly achieved the goal of the battle and almost got everything he wanted.

Next, Liu Heita only needs to defeat each of them, and he will be able to sweep Hebei in a short time.
