Chapter 29 The Battle of Hanoi
The Tang Dynasty led a large army to attack Guo Ziyi and encountered Hanoi. A fierce battle ensued in the front of both sides.
Guo Ai was the vanguard. When he saw so many enemy troops suddenly appearing, he thought they were Shi Siming's troops. However, upon closer inspection, he saw that they were soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. His heart suddenly became cold, especially when he saw that his front was actually Withstand the opponent's impact.
The soldiers under Guo Ai were the elite who had made many military exploits with Guo Ziyi in the past. Being used as a vanguard actually had a lot of meaning, but what was unexpected was that they could not withstand the charge of the Tang Dynasty's vanguard.
From a distance, Guo Ai saw a man who looked like a general with a golden helmet and golden armor standing under the gate. He was holding a long black sword and kept giving orders. It was the Tang Dynasty. He felt timid at first. Oh my god, he was so powerful.
Because at this moment, he felt a sting in his eyes.
He was glanced at by Tang Chao from such a distance, and his eyes were in severe pain. With such strong eyesight, one can imagine how advanced his martial arts was.
Guo Ai originally relied on martial arts. Even if Shi Siming came in person, he would still fight. However, when facing the Tang Dynasty, a feeling of despair arose in his heart. Apart from this glance, the dark sword It also brought him a violent killing intent, and a kind of terror and fear rose in his heart.
He himself has extremely high martial arts skills, and he has been around martial arts masters like Guo Ziyi for a long time. Under constant immersion, he has learned many martial arts principles. He was about to step forward to fight, but he suddenly retreated.
The perfect vanguard led by him can be said to be the most powerful in combat. Once it retreats, it will immediately be defeated and flee in all directions.
You know, the vanguard officer is a weather vane. Once he wins, he will pursue the pursuit with great momentum. But once he loses, he will be defeated like a mountain. He is now, because he sensed the man holding the dark sword. , there was an aura about him that was so terrifying that he didn't dare to touch it.
Once a master of martial arts reaches An Jin, his sensing ability is already very strong, which also allowed Guo Ai to avoid disaster.
As soon as Guo Ziyi's vanguard troops collapsed, Tang Chao showed a satisfied look on his face, pointed his whip, and the 30,000-strong army covered them up and killed them until corpses were scattered all over the field, blood flowed like rivers, and 78 out of 10 of the 10,000-strong troops were killed.
After all, after years of fighting, the Tang Dynasty's army had superior combat effectiveness and experience to these soldiers. In addition, the Tang Dynasty's 3,000 guard battalions were in front, so Guo Ai couldn't resist.
The Guo army was defeated across the board, and the Tang Dynasty pursued them all the way. Surrounded by the army, almost all the undead surrendered. The Tang Dynasty ordered Xin Baijiang to clean up the situation, and Xin Baijiang surrendered his troops, comforting him with good words, while he continued to pursue.
After only chasing for more than ten miles, they encountered Guo Ziyi's second group of ten thousand people, and were immediately defeated by the Tang Dynasty army. Countless people surrendered and were collected into the rear group.
After defeating three armies of ten thousand people in this way, nearly ten thousand soldiers had been collected. However, Guo Ziyi had not yet appeared. Apparently, he was leading the army from behind and was completely unaware that the forwards had already suffered a huge defeat.
But at this moment, an ominous premonition suddenly surged in Tang Chao's heart.
This is a subtle feeling, with only a faint shadow, as if the breeze is blowing across the lake, or as if a flying dragon is passing by from high in the sky, or more like the shadow of a lover flashing in a dream, there is an indescribable artistic conception. .
Yes, it is the artistic conception, although it is only faint.
"Stop moving forward,"
Tang Chao swung his long sword, making a loud clatter that could be heard within a ten-mile radius. He used ten stamina on this sword, and the power of the sword was equivalent to a thunderbolt.
The army immediately stopped chasing and camped on the spot, with the Yellow River as its back, in the shape of Bagua. This was the formation created by the Tang Dynasty after he read Meng De's Art of War and Sun Tzu's Art of War. , Ke, Jing, Death, Jing, open eight gates, and connect the entire army into one. Although this was Kong Ming's own formation during the Three Kingdoms, it has been slightly changed by the Tang Dynasty, and it can become a nine-gong formation. The shape can be used both offensively and defensively. It can be said to be a wonderful formation that can both attack and defend.
But it was said that Guo Ziyi was in the rear army. When he heard the front army's shouts of killing, he immediately led 3,000 elite soldiers under his command to come for reinforcements. Unexpectedly, Guo Ai came flying on horseback. When he asked the reason, he realized that the Tang Dynasty had abandoned Chang'an. , reverse and attack directly.
For a cunning man like him, he immediately formulated a three-sided ambush plan to defeat the 30,000 men in the front.
After all, the 30,000 people who bore the brunt had no time to mobilize. The Tang Dynasty's forwards were extremely fast, and the 30,000 people in front were defeated after only a slight resistance.
However, another ten miles away is Hanoi. However, two or three miles away from Hanoi, there is a Qingshi Valley, where he is just waiting for an ambush.
Guo Ziyi felt happy in her heart, thinking that when the Tang Dynasty marched thousands of miles away, they would not explore all the terrain one by one. Moreover, they were in the midst of a fierce battle. If they just pursued the victory and pursued it, they would not fall into their own pockets.
Although he had lost more than 20,000 men before, his strength was still there. He ambushed 20,000 troops on the left and right sides of Qingshi Valley, and he led less than 20,000 old and weak troops to guard the entrance of the valley.
He had already made a plan in his mind. As soon as the Tang Dynasty's pursuers arrived, he would lead his men to make a few feints and pretend to be defeated, luring the Tang Dynasty soldiers to pursue them. When the time came, he would seal the valley entrance and attack from three sides, and the Tang Dynasty would inevitably fall into a tight siege.
"Stop moving forward," just when he thought his plan was foolproof, he heard Tang Chao's shout from afar, which was like a thunderclap.
Only half a mile away, Tang Chao fell into his own encirclement, but Tang Chao was surprised.
This is a pretty terrifying ability.
Of course Guo Ziyi knew the reputation of the Tang Dynasty and had never underestimated him. But now, he suddenly realized that he still underestimated the Tang Dynasty. How did the Tang Dynasty know about such a seamless plan?
How can a man give up the attack when he is about to achieve complete victory when he leads a victorious army in pursuit?
This is a terrifying ability.
However, Guo Ziyi was not determined to give up. After his first plan failed, he devised another plan. He thought that the Tang Dynasty was brave and youthful and arrogant. When angered, he could not let go of a great opportunity just because the enemy did not enter the siege.
Thinking of this, this extremely clever man immediately whipped his horse and galloped away outside the valley, followed by 20,000 men, but the rest of the ambush men did not move.
In fact, he really wanted to see the Tang Dynasty. He really wanted to see this person who could deceive the emperor's princess, this person who could make peace between Huangmen's minister and Zhongshu's disciples, this powerful person in Lingnan. And the characters in the Western Regions, do they have three heads and six arms?
So, he saw the Tang Dynasty and saw a person with fair complexion and crystal clear skin like a virgin. This was the Tang Dynasty.
Most of the generals in the military are unruly and unruly people. Guo Ziyi's martial arts has reached the state of transformation, and ordinary martial arts figures are not in his eyes. Only people like Gao Xianzhi in the court can make him take a high look. Therefore, he really wants to see him now. Meet the Tang Dynasty, this young man who rose like a comet in the Tang Dynasty in just a few years.
Tang Chao is here to explore the terrain, and he only has nineteen riders with him.
But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, he encountered Guo Ziyi's army.
The Tang Dynasty's army had just set up camp. Facing the large army, he only had to retreat.
"Tang Chao, don't leave. I know you are here. You don't have to be afraid. I won't ask anyone to shoot arrows."
These few words from Guo Ziyi were very sincere and came from the heart.
Tang Chao immediately sensed that his words were true, so he summoned his soldiers and horses and said proudly: "What are you talking about, General Guo? Even if you shoot an arrow, what can you do to me? If you don't believe me, try it."
Guo Ziyi laughed loudly: "The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty was quick to speak, but he told the truth. You are wearing extremely tough rattan armor and your martial arts are extremely high. It is indeed difficult to kill you, but the nineteen followers around you are going through life and death. , I have followed you for a long time, are you not afraid of my sharp arrows? I just want to talk to you about my daily life, won't the general reward this thin noodles?"
Although there is a threat in these words, it is indeed true. Before the troops behind him came to rescue, Guo Ziyi could indeed order the archers to attack him. At that time, although he was not in danger, the nineteen Ming people who accompanied him might not survive. Less than half.
When fighting in large armies, bows and arrows are often favored, and long-distance combat is especially important. Moreover, bows and arrows have a long range and are extremely powerful. Like Lang Zhengxuan's magic shot, it is a deterrent to the world, and few people can match it.
Guo Ziyi was already able to use the Five Stones Kung Fu when he was still a boy. Now that his martial arts has reached the realm of transformation, it is even more powerful. He said that he would kill more than ten personal followers of the Tang Dynasty, which was not an empty threat.
"Okay, General Guo is also a quick man. If you have anything to do, just say it." At this time, he saw that Guo Ziyi did not take action, and he calmed down in his heart. He just praised the danger in his heart. Looking at the large valley behind, it was lush and green, and he felt in his heart Obviously, this Guo Ziyi is really powerful. He brought these old and weak soldiers out to lure me, but he just wanted me to chase them so that I could fall into an ambush.
Haha, when he thought of this, Tang Chao secretly thought that he was lucky, God would help me Tang Chao.
In fact, this is not God's will, but in Tang Chao's current feeling, it is God's will. Because he sensed the danger in advance, he stopped the pursuit. In fact, the way of sincerity is extremely difficult to predict in advance. , even if it is an ordinary vendetta, people cannot predict it in advance, let alone leading tens of thousands of troops in pursuit.
By now, the Tang Dynasty had vaguely glimpsed the shadow of the way of sincerity, and today's decision to stop the pursuit at the critical moment was a flash of inspiration.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If I hadn't sensed the danger and pursued him, I might have been defeated by now. It's hard to say how many men I could have under my command.
Fortunately, I have already set up the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation, so I am not afraid of Guo Jun's attack at all.
