Chapter 67
Except for the first step, the rebels were still pretty good. Since the ambush in the east of the formation was disturbed by Li Yan, the rebels did not take even a little advantage according to their plan.
Now the most elite ten thousand Yiluohe is surrounded by 30,000 elite soldiers of the Shuofang led by Guo Ziyi, while the other army fought with the Tang army in the formation, and the scene was in chaos.
At this time, it was almost impossible for An Shouzhong to withdraw with Yi Luohe.
As An Lushan, who was once famous in the north of the Tang Dynasty, he personally trained, and it can be said that An Lushan was his father's Yi Luohe, of course they would not admit defeat to the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
A bloody battle is inevitable, but at this time the initiative has gradually returned to the hands of the Tang Dynasty. All the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty knew that if they could destroy all the 10,000 ray Luohe River, the rebels would not have any morale anymore, and they would naturally be close to taking Chang'an City.
An Shouzhong did not believe that the Yiluohe he brought would be destroyed by Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Army, so although the number of enemy troops was really much higher than that of him, he still believed that the most elite soldiers of the rebels could make a fortune.
But An Shouzhong a little forgot that they were run by Li Yan's cavalry for one or two hours before. The physical energy consumption was really great during these or two hours, so when it was tormenting at this time, Yi Luohe actually had only about 50% of the combat power left.
Although the Shuofang army brought by Guo Ziyi had been fighting for a while, the Tang army had a more advantage in morale compared with the two.
Guo Ziyi would not waste any time. As soon as the army arrived, he started a hand-to-hand battle with Yi Luohe.
At this time, Li Qing, who was already sweating, finally met with Nan Jiyun. Li Qing, who had just experienced a battle between life and death, seemed to be unable to even lift his spear at this time. He could only be protected by Nan Jiyun to Guo Ziyi, and the remaining cavalry were also handed over to Nan Jiyun to command. After all, in such a battle, the cavalry could still play a significant role.
"Deputy Marshal, all I can do is this. Yiluohe is the mainstay of these rebels. If we can take down this ten thousand Yiluohe, this battle will be sure."
Guo Ziyi, who has always been expressionless on the battlefield, was really moved when she saw Li Yi’s appearance at this time and heard what he said again.
After joining the battle group, Guo Ziyi learned about what happened before. Of course, he already knew that if Li Qing had not maintained the formation of the cavalry and stabilized Li Siye as soon as possible after an accident, and then discovered the ambush of the enemy in the east of the formation, and led the most elite among the ambush here, and reported the news to him.
After all, except for Li Siye and his soldiers who were indeed tough enough, they did not take a step back after encountering an ambush, almost all the winners and losses that determined the direction of this war were caused by Li Yan.
In other words, once this victory is defeated, it is not him, Guo Ziyi, not Li Yu, but Li Yan!
"King Jianning is really a pillar of the country! But in the future, you must not fight with your life on the battlefield! If General Nan Jiyun had not been concerned about the safety of the prince today, and led the cavalry forward and broke into the battle formation, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Of course, Guo Ziyi had heard about what happened just now that Li Yan was forced to the riverside of the moat by An Shouzhong's big sword. He had been walking on the battlefield for most of his life, and of course he knew how dangerous it was to that level.
"The deputy marshal is worried too much. Even if he falls into the river, he can still swim on the shore. But if he can't fight Chang'an City this time, there will be fewer opportunities in the future! For Chang'an City, for the Tang Dynasty, and even if he dies, what can he do? How many of these soldiers who are fighting against the enemy are giving their lives for my Tang Dynasty?"
In the end, tears were already rising in the corners of his eyes. In fact, this was not something he was deliberately expressing, but the true expression of his true feelings.
No one knows that he is no longer Li Yan before, and no one knows how much touched Li Yan like this battlefield. He has come here from an era when everyone thinks life is extremely precious. The huge changes made Li Yan feel that the soldiers sacrificed for the dynasty, and that he unknowingly wandered between life and death, and then he had tears in his eyes.
What Li Neng didn't realize was that right beside him and Guo Ziyi, there were many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. As a prince, Li Neng's true feelings were revealed to the hearts of these soldiers, which was really touching.
Many soldiers had this idea in their minds: If King Jianning became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, he would definitely be a very good emperor.
But of course no one would say such words. Guo Ziyi couldn't help but reach out and patted Li Qing on the shoulder, sighed and said, "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, even if we die, we will die as a place. After this battle, the prince must think carefully. Even if our army recovered Chang'an in this battle, the battle with the rebels would not end like this. Just for the prince's performance today, I am afraid that the future war will inevitably lead to the place where the prince will work..."
When Guo Ziyi said this, she closed her mouth and looked far away at the place where the two armies were fighting in the formation.
Of course, Li Neng knew that Guo Ziyi's words had unfinished words, but if they were said or not, it was no longer important to Li Neng, because he understood Guo Ziyi's meaning and his intentions.
The tragic war was fully reflected in the battle between Shuofang Army and Yiluohe.
On one side is the elite main force of the Tang Dynasty, and on the other side is the ace of the rebels. They all want to use the other party's blood to lay the glory of their kingly army, but these things must be paved with blood.
The Tang army's attack began in the early morning of this day, and by this time, the sun had begun to sink. The afterglow of the sunset reflected the soldiers who stabbed each other's weapons at the enemy's vitals. Their movements were not as fast as a few hours ago, but their lives were still rapidly dissipating.
"Deputy Marshal, An Shouzhong's Yiluohe has been damaged by most of the loss, and the rest is exhausted. He has begun to lead his army to break through the city gate and no longer forcefully fight with our army!"
When the news came to Guo Ziyi, Li Qing, who was resting beside Guo Ziyi, knew that they were about to win this battle.
