A flying rider rushed over.

When Li Xiaogong saw the good knight, he felt much more relaxed. He shouted excitedly, "The army of the Tang King has arrived."

Li Xiaogong, covered in blood, welcomed him and grabbed his cousin Li Daoxuan's hand, "The Tang King came too timely. I'm afraid that the brothers can no longer hold on."

The young Li Daoxuan interrupted his cousin and said quickly, "How long can you hold on?"

Li Xiaogong looked at his cousin in confusion, "If most of the soldiers of the King of Tang don't come up again, my brothers are afraid they can't hold on."

"You have to persist even if you can't hold on. The King of Tang has an order, and your vanguard army must hold on for another half an hour."

"What about the reinforcements of the Tang King?"

"I only brought three thousand soldiers to the Battle of the Knife and Axe Mountain, but if someone takes one step back, he will kill him on the spot!" Li Daoxuan said in a cold tone.

Li Xiaogong stood there in shock with iron face, "Tang King..."

"The King of Tang is still setting up the formation, and the vanguard army must hold on for a while."

"But brothers..."

"The vanguard army has 20,000 troops." Li Daoxuan conveyed Li Yuan's words word by word, "What you lack now is not soldiers, but the determination to fight to the death. However, the soldiers of the vanguard army cannot be willing to die. Now, many reinforcements will be transferred to the ground, and then they will be in chaos immediately. General Li will show his determination to die and give Yang Ming a good look. The army of the Tang King will arrive soon."

Li Xiaogong's expression was ashen, his lips were trembling, and his face was indescribable.

"Go quickly, this is the order of the King of Tang!" Li Daoxuan also suppressed the feelings in his heart and shouted coldly.

Li Xiaogong looked up at the surroundings with a dim look, clenched his fists tightly, and finally roared, pulled out a sharp sword, and rushed to the front with the guards again.

Li Daoxuan returned to the back formation. Among the three thousand soldiers, five hundred shield hands had formed an iron wall. In the shield formation, countless spears were exposed, making this line of defense even more ferocious. After the shield formation, under the banner of Li, Li Daoxuan held a horizontal knife in his hand, locked his eyebrows and stared at the bloody battle in front of him. Behind him were two thousand archers, and all of them were aimed at the blank area in front of the formation.

On the battlefield of 60,000 to 70,000 people, the three thousand people's supervision team is undoubtedly just a small army. If the troops really collapse, they cannot be stopped by this little man.

However, the symbolic significance of the three thousand men and horses in the rear supervising battle is far greater than the actual significance.

Especially for the generals such as Li Xiaogong and Li Xiaoan in the vanguard army, the three thousand troops behind were the attitude and orders of the King of Tang.

Li Xiaogong, Li Xiaoan and other Li Tang clan members and generals no longer retreated, but instead roared and fought back fiercely.

Some soldiers could not resist the impact of the Jianghan army's cavalry. They turned around and fled, but just ran to Li Daoxuan's formation, the archer who was supervising the battle pulled the bowstring without hesitation. The bowstrings sounded, and the soldiers fell to the ground one by one. When hundreds of corpses were piled up in front of the formation, the blood completely dyed the snow on the ground red. There was no Tang army returning to retreat.

"The army of the King of Tang will arrive soon. Brothers will come together. Kill these bitches and get the head to exchange for rewards!"

Advance is death. Retreat is even more death. Under the incitement and command of the generals, the soldiers who had no choice but to retreat began to burst out their most fierce side in their hearts, and fought back to the Jianghan army, which was attacking in the dark like wind and rain.

The Tang army vanguard and the Jianghan army slowly fought towards the Fen River from Yang Ming's camp.

Li Yuan stood on a high slope with a horse, watching the melee on the plain below with a serious expression.

There were stars of fire everywhere, and the sound of weapons colliding with metal and iron everywhere. There were also the sound of screams and wailings.

"Father, Xiaogong is almost unable to hold on. Let me take Zuo Jun with you." Li Jiancheng said anxiously.

Li Yuan said calmly, "Caring. Ci does not control the troops."

Just now, Li Xiaogong was in the middle of the army and he had already received the news. At that time, he was very close to Li Xiaogong's front army, but after Li Yuan learned the news, he not only did not order the army to reinforce immediately, but instead ordered the entire army to form a formation and slowly retreated two miles.

Fighting in the dark has always been a taboo for military strategists, because the darkness is always full of variables. Especially in this kind of plains and field battles with more than 100,000 people on both sides, Li Yuan did not dare to rashly reinforce the troops because he knew that he was facing four famous Sui generals, Yu Juluo, Tu Wanxu, Yang Yichen and Pei Renji.

Retreat two miles and form a formation on the spot.

He was waiting, waiting to see the situation of Yang Hung's soldiers.

Half an hour passed, half of the vanguard army was killed and injured, and Li Yuan finally realized a little bit of the name.

Most of Yang Hung's troops were in the upper north of the battlefield.

Now that Li Xiaogong and others fought to the death, they gradually stabilized their positions and no longer retreated in panic. Yang Hsiao's cavalry had also attacked for more than half an hour, losing their initial aura and impact.

"It's time." Li Yuan's eyes were like lightning in the darkness and said firmly.

Many generals and schoolmen on the side were all excited. Is it finally about to start?

"Yang Hsiao has only 50,000 troops. Before, he only took advantage of the ambush and caught Xiaogong off guard. But until now, although Xiaogong's formation is in danger, it has not collapsed yet, and Yang Hsiao's soldiers and horses are no longer explosive. Now, it is the best time for us to join the battlefield."

"All the generals obey the orders, you will follow the king and lead a 40,000 army to attack Yang's base camp."

Li Yuan clamped his legs with his war horse, and the war horseman stood up. Li Yuan waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly, "All the soldiers of the army bravely stepped forward, and took Yang Hung's head and killed!"

"kill!"

Forty thousand infantrymen, carrying spears, burst out with a huge roar and rushed towards Yang Qing camp north of the battlefield. Li Yuan was wearing bright light armor, holding a horse and holding a spear, and his magical martial arts remained the same. When Li Yuan fought against the Turks, he shot forty-seven arrows in a row, killing the enemy with arrows, and his reputation was far away from the frontier. Although he had been serving as a civil servant for many years, Li Yuan, who was born in a noble family, had no bad martial arts skills.

At this time, the Tang army saw the King of Tang riding a horse and holding a spear, and a cavalry took the lead. He even roared loudly, and with a power, he rolled towards Yang Qing's headquarters. Forty thousand Tang army infantry held spears, raised their longbows, held crossbows, and wore strong Great Sui armor. The equipment was completely the most elite border army equipment of the Great Sui army, and it was even stronger than the equipment of Yang Qing's troops who retreated to Jianghan.

Forty thousand Tang troops arrived in a turbulent manner, and Yang Yichen, who was in charge of the base camp, quickly mobilized ten thousand Jianghan infantry to intercept them.

Ten thousand Jianghan infantry met the 40,000 Tang troops with high morale, and gradually could not resist it. They slowly fought and retreated, retreating all the way to the base camp.

Seeing this, Yang Yichen had to draw another 10,000 troops from the left wing to reinforce to block the Tang army's powerful offensive.

For a moment, Li Xiaogong's vanguard troops were still struggling to persevere. With most of Li Yuan's reinforcements, the pressure was immediately reduced, and instead launched a counterattack. On the right-wing battlefield, Li Yuan personally led 40,000 troops, and slowly pressed the Jianghan army to retreat towards the base camp like Mount Tai.

Taking advantage of the stalemate of the battlefield, Yang Hing's main force was attracted by his father's main force to the right wing. Li Jiancheng led the last 10,000 light cavalry of the Tang army, which was still in control, suddenly launched a fierce attack on Yang Hing's left wing.

The war horse gallops, and the iron hooves rumble.

Ten thousand Tang cavalry suddenly inserted into the gap on the left wing and quickly launched a fierce attack on the five thousand Yujuluo cavalry on the left wing.

The rear route was cut off! In an instant, Yu Juluo's cavalry array was in a very unfavorable position. He had already cut deep into the Tang army's vanguard formation. The only rear route was cut off by the opponent's cavalry, as if he was surrounded!

The soldiers were panicked, and this panicked was captured by Li Xiaogong of the keen vanguard army. He immediately commanded the few troops in his hand and launched a counterattack. Although it was not very successful, it temporarily curbed the cavalry offensive of the Jianghan Army.

However, the commanders of the Jianghan cavalry, Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu, were very experienced. They had long seen that the number of this Tang cavalry was too small and it was impossible to surround themselves. Although they successfully entered the rear path, their front line was still very chaotic, and they had reached the brink of collapse, and could not form an effective blow.

The two generals Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu issued orders almost at the same time, and the two cavalry units that originally attacked Li Xiaogong's vanguard army from both sides and instead advanced.

The two Jianghan cavalry nearly 10,000 cavalry launched a fierce charge towards the middle of the two cavalry, completely ignoring the Tang cavalry behind. Li Xiaogong's vanguard troops had been attacked by the Jianghan army for nearly an hour, and the army was exhausted and suffered heavy casualties. At this time, they encountered a concentrated attack of nearly 10,000 cavalry, and could no longer resist it, and were constantly rushing into the Jianghan cavalry. In the end, Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu successfully joined.

After the convergence, the Jianghan cavalry tied the torn crack of Li Xiaogong's vanguard army and kept rushing wildly. The vanguard army, which had already reached the brink of collapse, could not resist it anymore.

The army collapsed, and Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu led the Jianghan cavalry like driving sheep, driving away the dispersed Tang army vanguard troops to retaliate against the main force of Li Yuan's army on the right wing.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and Li Yuan's plan to attack Yang Ming's base failed, but instead faced the situation where his own formation was stormed and surrounded by the Jianghan army.

Fortunately, Li Yuan has always been calm. When he saw that the plan failed, he did not care about it at all. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan both took action and successfully stopped the cavalry attack of the two generals Yu Ju Luo.

Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu led the cavalry tore a crack in the Tang army's ranks, opened a bloody road from the middle, and calmly returned to the front of the Jianghan Army Base Camp.

The Tang army was also slowly retreating, but with the efforts of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong and other generals, the team still maintained a certain formation to prevent the Jianghan army from chasing them. The tired Jianghan army seemed to be satisfied with such results tonight and did not launch a new fierce attack.

Above head, a glimmer of light had appeared in the east, and the morning had arrived. Both armies began to break off contact, and the troops gradually left the battlefield like a tide, leaving behind corpses all over the ground. (To be continued)
