Chapter 62 The Rebel's Tactics
Many things on the battlefield are very difficult to explain. Of course, Li Qing could not tell Li Siye about what he was planning to do when tens of thousands of enemy troops had already come back from behind.
In such a crisis, many things can only be understood, so when Li Yan turned his horse's head and led his cavalry to the slant, Li Siye also had a plan in his mind.
"Damn it, this is Chang'an City. How could it be so easy to capture it? If the order is passed, the rebels have become the last of their strength. If we can withstand this wave, Chang'an City will be taken!"
Li Siye knew that Li Yi was going to was definitely not going to escape, so he could not have any plans to retreat. Only in this way could Guo Ziyi, the central army, come to rescue them as soon as possible.
While shouting orders, Li Siye asked his generals to pass the news to Guo Ziyi. Except for the advantage he had at the beginning, he could see that he had completely fought together afterwards. Guo Ziyi could not see anything in the central army.
But everything is easy to say, but it is not the case if it is done. Li Siye called it well, but after the large number of enemies entered the battle group, the situation was a sharp turn for the Tang army at that time.
The advantage of the number of people is gone, and the formation has long been scattered. Seeing that the friends around me are dying frequently, the mentality of many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty has gradually begun to collapse.
Once their mentality collapsed, they didn't feel that they could defeat the rebels. In addition, many Tang troops originally had a fear of the rebels. As a result, some people finally began to throw down their weapons and turn around and run back.
This is obviously the situation that Li Siye is most afraid of. Even if there are casualties, as long as the soldiers are not afraid of death and are rushing forward, there will be some fighting in this battle, but if they run backward, it will be a defeat.
When Li Siye saw this situation, his hair was almost blown up at that time. He threw the helmet on his head to the ground. Then he rushed forward and chopped the Tang soldier who had lost his weapon and was running back with one knife.
Immediately afterwards, another knife was cut down and the two enemy troops behind the Tang army were killed. Even though Li Siye was still right away, the blood of the three men also squirted half of his face. For a moment, Li Siye was like a god coming to the world.
"Who retreats again! That's the end! Killing the enemy is death, and escaping is also death. How do you die if you want to die?"
He rode his horse forward and killed the fleeing Tang army and the chasing enemy. Li Siye used his voice like a dusk drum and morning bell to let every Tang army and rebel passing by hear his words.
If you do not advance, you will retreat. Now, the Tang army dares not retreat under the pressure and motivation of Li Siye. Isn’t that just because they can only move forward almost?
As Li Siye ran around the battlefield with dozens of his confidants and passed on the words just now to the ears of every general under his command, the momentum of defeat was finally gradually curbed.
But even so, during the period when Li Siye did not react, the Tang army had been killed by the rebels because of escape, and many of the discarded armor, weapons and other things were stolen by others.
Li Siye knew that at this time what the Tang army needed was a sharp sword, an opportunity to die. Otherwise, even if Guo Ziyi arrived, it would be very difficult to turn the world around. After all, since the rebels could do such a strategy against your tens of thousands of front troops, they would be prepared for the central army and the rear army.
Although Li Siye was a little unbelievable to be able to act as this sharp arrow, at this time, he could only rely on Li Yan's five thousand cavalry.
Although Li Siye was carrying infantry, he also knew cavalry. Although the number of these five thousand was not large, they could play a great role in the battle group of tens of thousands of people, but almost all of these functions had to be based on the ability of the generals and the combat effectiveness of these soldiers.
Li Yi's cavalry has only been trained for half a year, which everyone knows, so even Li Siye, who has a very good impression of Li Yi, can only hope for such a miracle at this time.
Under the leadership of Li Siye, although there were still deaths in the front of the Tang army, their overall appearance was like a Great Wall standing in front of the rebel formation, retreating slightly to slowly moving forward, which made Li Guiren, who was still watching the battle on the tower above the city, frowned slightly.
"This Li Siye is quite hard. If you continue to give the order, just carry it with them, and wait for the men and horses that Guo Ziyi will also come to our formation and start the next plan. Now, whether it is Guo Ziyi or Li Siye, they must let them die under the walls of Chang'an City!"
For this battle, Li Guiren, An Shouzhong and others were also very hard-working. They had already learned that Li Heng had already begun to discuss the city-defense plan when he had gathered tens of thousands of people in Fengxiang County.
After the scout told them who were the generals of the Tang army, the front, middle and back, the rebel generals once again refined the strategies they had basically decided on before, so there was a scene where Li Siye was forced to kill even his own people.
When Li Guiren issued the order, Guo Ziyi had already approached the battle group and learned that everything that seemed smooth before was just a plan of the enemy.
"Master Marshal, the enemy has obviously made full preparations for fun and complete. This battle is probably not easy. After the scout returns, the Master Marshal will go to the rear army to fight with General Wang Sili. I will take the central army to support General Li Siye. Otherwise, the rebels will have many people in front of the formation. Once the front army is defeated, this battle will be difficult to fight!"
Guo Ziyi obviously realized the danger of this battle. If the Tang army really had the advantage, it would be fine if Li Yu went to the formation to fight. However, even Guo Ziyi was not particularly confident in her heart. Naturally, he did not dare to let Li Yu go too deep into the enemy.
Li Yu hesitated for a moment and could only nod his head slightly. He could not be said to be afraid under such circumstances, but he really couldn't be interested in war.
But Li Yu didn't know that his retreat gave him a chance to his younger brother, an opportunity that he would not have any threats if he didn't compare like this.
