Seeing that all the Tang army ambushed out, Shan Xiongxin's generals showed signs of annoyance.

At this time, Shan Xiongxin said to the left and right: "At this point, there is no doubt that you can fight together."

At this time, a general galloped over to Shan Xiong and said, "General Shan, General Xu has a message. He is willing to lead his troops behind the palace and beg General Shan to retreat immediately!"

Shan Xiongxin was slightly stunned when he heard this. Xu Shiji's troops were already retreating at this time, but he actually took the initiative to take the initiative to take over the palace behind him.

Shan Xiongxin looked ashamed when he heard this, but he knew that this moment was not the time to act voluntarily, otherwise it would have been delayed by tens of thousands of lives. Shan Xiongxin immediately clasped his fists at the general and said, "General Xu is here to send orders to retreat!"

At that moment, Shan Xiongxin led the army to retreat. Li Xiaogong personally led the Tang army to pursue bravely, and the besieged Tang army also regained its spirits and devoted itself to the counterattack.

Shan Xiongxin sent Qi A Shu's three thousand cavalry to cooperate with the three thousand cavalry of Luo Shixin of Xu Shiji's army to harass the Tang army step by step.

The Tang cavalry chased and fought, but the Tang cavalry was no match for the Zhao cavalry. The two cavalry fought and charged, and the Tang cavalry was repelled by the Zhao cavalry in a round of counter-charge, causing the Tang army's pursuit to be slightly defeated. However, at this time, the Tang army's Shengyan division headquarters had already gone around the Zhao army and launched an attack.

The two armies were in a fierce battle...

After the fierce battle, the two armies retreated. In this battle, Meng Dangui, the brother of Zhao's general Meng Haigong, died in battle. The Marquis of the Guards were killed and nearly 10,000 casualties were killed or killed. Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin retreated to Luoyang City to defend.

Li Xiaogong and Li Jing's southern army crossed Yique and advanced to Luoyang city. They echoed the Li Tang North Army, which was still on the bank of the Yellow River in the north of Luoyang. The situation in Luoyang was immediately endangered.

Hanoi County, Wangwu County.

Wangwu Mountain stands tall here.

Wangwu is connected to Taihang in the east, Zhongtiao in the west, Taiyue in the north, and Yellow River in the south.

There are countless high mountains and passes near Wangwu Mountain. Zhuguan Pass passes by the side, and there is also the world-famous dangerous pass. Zhuguan Pass is a small road on Zhuguan Pass. In order to enter the Central Plains, Duke Wen of Jin broadened this road, but the road is still not spacious.

Five thousand Tang soldiers and 20,000 Hedong civil servants were escorting the military rations of the Li Tang North Army and traveling to the Zhuguanxing. This military ration was hard-won. It was the autumn grain that had just been captured in more than 20 prefectures in Guanzhong of the Li Tang Dynasty. This grain had long been used as a reserve for the war this spring. Therefore, it was not stored in the warehouse.

The person responsible for transporting food and grass was Qian Jiulong, the general of the Right Wu Guard. Qian Jiulong was originally a general of the Li Yuan’s mansion. He followed Li Yuan since Jinyang started the army. Li Yuan had a great trust in Qian Jiulong. Whether it was Li Shimin or Li Jiancheng's expedition, Qian Jiulong followed the army. As Li Yuan's eyes and ears.

Now in Zhuguanxing, 20,000 civil servants are pushing unicycling buses. The rooster buses are popular in Sichuan and Sichuan. It is said that they were created by Zhuge Liang and are most suitable for walking on such dangerous roads with high mountains and ridges.

The civil servants were wearing headbands on their shoulders, holding handles with both hands, and tied their heads with white towels. On the narrow mountain road, each chicken bus could carry at least two to three stones of military rations. Although it was not much, it accumulated a lot. The 20,000 civil servants carried tens of thousands of chicken buses to carry out the 30,000 to 40,000 s of military rations, which was enough for the front-line army to support for a period of time.

However, it is very difficult to leave Zhuguanxing, and Qian Jiulong has to set off early every morning to make the civil servants suffer.

There is no way. Qian Jiulong knew that the army on the north road of Li Tang was about to run out of military rations this time. If the tens of thousands of military rations did not keep up, more than 100,000 people would go hungry. Therefore, Qian Jiulong's urging was inevitably a little tighter.

These civil servants did not understand that the military rations were related to the outcome of the battle. This time they served. For them, they were just a return to the official service. According to the order of renting and transferring by Li Tang, each citizen of the Tang Dynasty would have to pay two stones of grain to the country in a year, which was rent; they would have to pay two feet of silk and three taels of cotton to the country. They would have to pay two feet of silk to three taels of cotton to serve. They would have to pay twenty days of service and be called the official service.

Compared with the government soldiers who were voluntarily fighting for the country, life was actually even harder as ordinary people. The people of Li Tang couldn't help but envy the people of Zhao. Although Zhao also paid rent and adjusted two taxes to the people, they did not want the people to serve. If they wanted to serve, the court would allocate funds to hire the people.

This time when the Li Tang civil servants were in full swing, it was the time when spring plowing was about to be plowed. At this time, the people were transferred. Once the spring plowing was insufficient, the food and grass in Hedong would be poor this year. Not only would it not be enough for the government to recruit the government, but their wives and children would also go hungry. Therefore, the Li Tang civil servants wanted to end the war early and go home to take care of their own acres of land.

Qian Jiulong urged the grain team to cross Wangwu Mountain and approach the Yellow River. He thought that in three or five days, he could take the general rations to the Hanoi camp. Qian Jiulong secretly felt relieved. However, he did not expect that the five thousand Zhao army grassland cavalry near the mountain road had already set his sights on him.

Ying Hefu knew that this time he had 20,000 cavalry, and it was impossible to stop the Tang army from crossing the Yellow River, so the only way was to harass the Tang army's food route.

Therefore, after Ying Hefu reached a tacit understanding with Su Dingfang, he asked him to defend the three cities of Heyang to the death, and he led his army to sneak into the Hanoi County. At present, the main forces of the Tang army were all on the front line of Heyang, and there was insufficient defense of various parts of Hanoi County. Ying Hefu then ordered the general to lead 15,000 troops to appear in Hanoi County, and made a big move to attack Hanoi County to attract the attention of the Tang army.

Ying Hefu himself led five thousand elite cavalry to sneak into the area of ​​Wangwu Mountain. He knew that near Wangwu Mountain was the only way to the Li Tang grain road, so he lurked here, with the purpose of the Tang army's food and supplies.

At this time, Qian Jiulong's grain transport army had just left the Wangwu Mountain Mountains and came to the plains. The civil servants and the Tang army soldiers finished this hard journey, exhausted and demanded rest. Qian Jiulong suppressed the civil servants along the way. Seeing that the civil servants could not walk anymore, he did not dare to make things difficult for them anymore, otherwise it would arouse civil rebellion.

Qian Jiulong immediately asked them to rest by the road.

Suddenly, the whole road was filled with resting people. Qian Jiulong looked at the terrain. On the left side of the road was a hillside and on the right side was a slope. You can see the Yellow River even further.

The civil servants were resting beside the road, and the chicken bus was thrown aside so casually. The soldiers took off their leather head pockets, picked up their carry-on bags to drink water, and chewed some dry food to fill their stomachs.

The civil servants looked envious and looked at the Tang army soldiers with something to eat, because when they were serving the official service, the court did not provide food for civil servants, and all civil servants had to bring their own food. In the past few days, there was not much food on the military service, and the remaining little thing had to be placed on the road behind to fill their stomachs. They did not dare to fill their stomachs like the Tang army soldiers.

As for the food and grass on the chicken bus, the civil servants dare not make any decisions. The Tang army was very strict. If they found that one or two taels of food on the bus were missing, the civil servants would be held accountable. If the matter was serious, the civil servants would even be beheaded.

Qian Jiulong saw the soldiers and civil servants sitting on the ground, completely in a state of loose sand. Qian Jiulong couldn't help but shake his head. When he waved his hand, the White Army's vanguard stepped on the tent and ran to the hillside on the left.

The two men reached the top of the mountain. At this time, one of them turned around and shouted: "No, there are enemies at the foot of the mountain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a war horse appeared from the left side of the soldier. The soldiers on the war horse were covered with curly beards and holding scimitars. They knew they were not Han people at first sight. But when they saw him waving his sword, the armor on the vanguard's chest was easily cut off like a piece of paper.

The vanguard rolled down the hillside.

Qian Jiulong shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, fight me!"

After saying that, Qian Jiulong drew his sword. At this time, a black cavalry appeared on the hilltop on the right, and the sound of horse hooves roared in the valley. Countless cavalry wearing animal skins appeared on the ridge, which looked like a black line from a distance.

Ying Hefu stood on the hillside, pointed the spear in his hand forward at the foot of the mountain, and the cavalry of the foreign army ran down the hillside.

You should know that the cavalry descended from the hillside, but the skill is arduous. If the cavalry galloped in the front is not determined, it will easily fall off the front, which will lead to a chain reaction of the cavalry in the rear. The horse's hooves are mixed with garlic, causing the attack lineup to scatter. It is said that Yue Fei's son Yue Yun once fell down the horse's hooves and fell down. Yue Fei was furious when he saw it.

However, all this was very skillful to the cavalry of the French army who were born on horseback and raised on horseback. But they saw them driving their horses into dense queues from the top of the mountain and launching a charge towards the Tang army rations at the foot of the mountain.

The sound of horse hooves roared.

When the Tang soldiers at the foot of the mountain saw this scene, they were all despised.
