Chapter 145 Eight thousand dragged down the river(1/2)

The cold wind whistled, and on both sides of the frozen Yellow River, there were bare tree trunks. Thousands of Jin soldiers fell in the snow, corpses everywhere.

Li Ji and Yang Ye's cavalry took off the armor and weapons of these Jin soldiers and cleared the battlefield.

Jin Wushu led 20,000 troops to cross the Yellow River in the Puzhou Bridge area, but was ambushed by Li Ji and Yang Ye, and encountered a blizzard again. Almost all the troops were wiped out. Jin Wushu escaped with only a few hundred confidants, and the rest of the Jin soldiers scattered.

"Jin Wushu did not bring Tiefutu, nor did he have a kidnapped horse. It seems that Jin Wushu does not intend to help An Lushan and Shi Siming with all his strength."

"It's not surprising. Jin Wushu and An Lushan, Shi Siming were not all along the way. It was just because Jin Wushu had a grudge against us that he sent a group of partial troops to restrain us."

"It's time to go to Yaoshan Town to meet with the lord."

Li Ji and Yang Ye took advantage of the time to easily defeat Jin Wushu, and then went to Yaoshan Town.

Yaoshan Town, this place was also hit by a blizzard.

Fortunately, Zhang Hua's soldiers camped in the town, only frostbiteed more than a hundred soldiers.

Cold winter, plague, earthquake or meteorites from the sky will cause loss of personnel.

The blizzard caused Yaoshan Town to lose contact with the territory of other places in Zhanghua. It was not until the end of the snow and snow that information from various places came one after another.

"Report! The Tang army attacked Sanyuan Town in An Lushan overnight, and after breaking through six forts on the south side of Sanyuan Town, they fought with An Lushan in Sanyuan. They were suddenly attacked by wind and snow. An Lushan took the opportunity to use Yiluohe to attack the central camp of the Tang army, resulting in a small-scale defeat of the Tang army. The Tang army lost 20,000 people in this battle. An Lushan personally killed two generals of the Tang army!"

"The Tang army chief Li Daozong was injured and retreated to Yangling Town!"

Zhang Hua, who was confronting An Siming, received news of the failure of the Tang army and fell silent with Chen Gong, Yan Xiang and other strategists.

Zhang Hua has understood the elite level of the Tang army.

Although Zhang Hua's strength was far inferior to that of now, the Tang army was indeed fierce.

The 70,000 Tang army faced 200,000 Yan army, and Zhang Hua predicted that the Tang army would have the advantage.

A blizzard suddenly hit the Guanzhong Plain, causing the Tang army to lose.

The commander of the Yan army, An Lushan, personally took the lead and led five thousand Yiluohe River, raided the central army where the commander of the Tang army, Li Daozong, and injured Li Daozong, exacerbating the defeat of the Tang army.

"Yi Luohe, this is An Lushan's most elite personal soldier, one to serve as a hundred."

Zhang Hua and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang formed an alliance to attack An Lushan. The two sides shared some information and knew that An Lushan had the most elite cavalry under his command - Baqian Yiluohe.

Yiluohe is an elite cavalry selected by An Lushan from the Xi people, Khitan, Tongluo and other Hu people.

Yiluohe means "heroic man" in Xi's words.

According to Zhang Hua's judgment, An Lushan's Eight Thousand Yiluohe River is at least a sixth-level army, or even higher.

The soldiers in Yiluohe must be Hu people, and they must be Hu people with extraordinary courage.

The civilizations of these Hu people were quite backward, but because of their backwardness, they were easily fooled by An Lushan and were aggressive by nature, so they were undoubtedly excellent sources of troops.

Zhang Hua was also very afraid of An Lushan’s Baqianluohe.

"How many cavalrymen of Yilushan used to attack Li Daozong?"

Zhang Hua realized that he had to know this information.

An Lushan may allocate some of the cavalrymen in the Luohe River to Shi Siming.

Shi Siming was also a cavalry general and was best at using cavalry, so Shi Siming was good at field battles.

Logically speaking, the Yiluohe Cavalry can also exert its maximum power in Shi Siming.

"The information provided by the Tang army was 4,000 to 6,000 people."

"That's to say that Shi Siming may have two thousand to four thousand rays of Luohe River here? If you win, that's three thousand rays of Luohe River."

Zhang Hua roughly estimates Shi Siming's elite.

Shi Siming's 100,000 Yan Army, the core group is three thousand rays from the river.

In addition to Yiluohe, there are also Hun cavalry, Khitan cavalry, Xi warriors, Han spear soldiers, Han sword and shield soldiers and other troops.

When dealing with Huang Zhong, Shi Siming did not use Yi Luohe, and it is very likely to be used to hide this elite force to raid Zhang Hua's central army at a critical moment.

An Lushan used five thousand Yiluohe to attack the chief general of the Tang army, indirectly exposing the number of Yiluohe cavalry on Shi Siming's side.

"Report! Li Ji and Yang Ye defeated Jin Wushu at Puzhou Bridge, beheaded 5,000 and captured 5,000 people. The rest fled back to Hedong. The two generals were worried that they would be ambushed by Jurchens when they went deep into Hedong, so they chose to return to their troops and were gathering quickly here!"

"knew."

Unfavorable news came from the Tang army, and the Li Ji, who blocked Jin Wushu, and Yang Ye, came from good news.

Jin Wushu led 20,000 troops to restrain Zhang Hua, but was ambushed by Li Ji and Yang Ye.

However, Li Ji and Yang Ye easily defeated Jin Wushu, which had little effect on the Jurchens in Hedong, because Jin Wushu's 20,000 soldiers were pieced together.

Jin Wushu could not consume the precious Tiefutu for An Lushan and Shi Siming.

"Since Li Ji and Yang Ye are on the way, we can send troops to fight Shi Siming. Otherwise, An Lushan will suddenly lead his troops to support Shi Siming, and we will be defeated."

Zhang Hua ordered troops to attack Shi Siming, who was stationed at the bottom of Yao Mountain.

During the Battle of Sanyuan, the Tang army lost 20,000 yuan.

Two hundred thousand Yan troops lost 40,000.

An Lushan has 160,000 Yan troops.

As long as An Lushan left some troops to restrain the remaining 50,000 Tang troops, it was entirely possible to send troops to support Shi Siming and besiege Zhang Hua's Xia army with Shi Siming.

Therefore, it is necessary to defeat Shi Siming before An Lushan comes to help.

"Even Jin Wushu's Tiefutu was unable to defeat us, so what if Yi Luohe?"

Zhang Hua had already seen Jin Wushu's Tiefutu and Huang Taiji's Eight Banners Cavalry, and was not afraid of An Lushan or Shi Siming's Yilu River.

The Xia army in Yaoshan Town was dispatched, and the Xia army flag was waving.

After the wind and snow, the Guanzhong Plain was completely renewed and the snow was thicker.

Fifty thousand Xia army and 100 thousand Yan army fought in Yaoshan.

Shi Siming's Yan army was stationed in the wild and was frostbitten thousands of people. In addition, the Yan army that was killed by Huang Zhong before, so there were only 90,000 Yan army that were truly combat-capable.

Feng Yi led 25,000 troops as the central army.

Mulan's women's camp has 12,500 people, as the Left Army.

Deng Ai’s Changshui Camp and Cheng Yaojin’s Wuwei Camp were the Right Army.

Huang Zhong's Fire Camp was severely damaged by Shi Siming's wolves tactics and was temporarily incorporated into the Right Army by Zhang Hua and adopted the right wing breakthrough tactic.

"roar!"

Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda's Wuwei Camp, the Five Hundred Bear Qujun rode the majestic war bear, holding a big axe in his hand, and was fierce in his momentum. The war bear made a terrifying low roar.

This is the first time Xiong Qujun has been in battle.

The seventh-level Xiong Qu Army became the breakthrough force of the Right Army.

In addition to the five hundred Xiongqu Army, Cheng Yaojin, and Niu Jinda's Wuwei camp also had three thousand heavy armored cavalry.

Heavy armored cavalry are fourth-level troops, but their defense and impact power are even more terrifying than higher-level light armored troops, and the cost is quite high.

Before the bloody battle, Cheng Yaojin wiped the mountain-opening axe with a coarse cloth.

Niu Jinda chewed air-dried beef jerky to replenish his energy.

Niu Jinda's talent "Jiu Niu" consumes a huge amount of physical strength.

“Tons tons…”

The powerful general Ma Wu secretly put warm wine into the water bag and drank happily before the war started.

Ma Wu is addicted to alcohol and enjoys everything.

Zhang Hua generally banned alcohol in the army to avoid any generals from drinking. However, in the cold winter, Zhang Hua relaxed the ban and asked his soldiers to warm up with alcohol when necessary.

As for Ma Wu's behavior of storing wine privately, Zhang Hua turned a blind eye.

Ma Wu's personality is like this, and he is open-minded and refreshing. Zhang Hua was worried that he would order Ma Wu to toast him. Ma Wu was unhappy and ran directly to other forces.

There are many princes, and Ma Wu has many choices, and he can even surrender to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, so that Zhang Hua will suffer great losses.

As long as Ma Wu does not publicly resist the ban on alcohol, Zhang Hua said that it is water, that is water.

Feng Yi observed the formation of the Yan army at the forefront. His talent "attack on the heart" took effect, which caused the spirit of 90,000 Yan army to shake.

The Hu generals of the Yan army found that the soldiers under their command were uneasy and quickly scolded the soldiers.

If Zhang Hua could see the morale of the Yan army, he would find that the morale of the Yan army was declining.

Feng Yi, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, has a very terrifying talent, and his morale has been weakened by 90,000 Yan troops.

Feng Yi was taciturn and did not feel afraid of the Yan army with a large number of people on the other side.

Ninety thousand Yan troops were formed in the formation, and the chief general Shi Siming fought with the 50,000 Xia troops surrounded by a number of generals.

Behind Shi Siming are three thousand cavalrymen of the Luohe River.

The Yiluohe Cavalry has the most exquisite armor in the Yan Kingdom in Anlushan, the highest war horse, and the best source of troops.

The eight thousand cavalry of the yelling river were elite selected from the millions of Hu people, and they were truly one out of a hundred.
