The anxiety of not siegeing the city for several days, and the attack last night was not enough but encountered blockades and accidents one after another. The morale of the rebels had already fallen to the lowest point. Even if Cui Ganyoutian Ganzhen was all brave generals, Sun Xiaozhe was not incompetent even though he had selfish intentions and was tyrannical in his army, he was not incompetent. However, when facing the troops that were not inferior to his own, they all felt like they were unable to speak out. After all, they had a smooth journey, and this was the first time they had encountered a tough battle between the two armies in formal confrontation.

"General" Tian Ganzhen noticed keenly that the morale in the army was not right, so she immediately rode her horse to Cui Ganyou and lowered her voice and said, "At this point, if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't fight head-on, you will fight last time, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable."

Cui Ganyou knew that Tian Gan really meant that if he retreated without fighting, he would be chased by the opponent in the end, and he would lose a lot. Although he also cherished his troops very much and did not want to fight the two Anbei Protectorate troops who fell from the sky at the city of Chang'an, he was undoubtedly without choice at the moment. He took a deep breath and shouted sternly: "The enemy is just a bluff, and he ordered the entire army to be in front of the infantry, the cavalry wings spread, and the Mo Dao hand dragged back and attacked.

In the distance, Gu Huaien, the commander of the army, saw that the enemy began to move, smiled at Azle beside him and said, "Du Sui, how much damage was last night?"

"There was a sudden rise in killing. Although the brothers were familiar with the night battle, less than 200 dead, but there were 500 wounded. Tian Ganzhen ran fast, so I gathered the wounded in time, otherwise it would be hard to say." When it comes to the damage to the war, Azle was a little unnatural. After all, now in the Central Plains, he was not able to replenish soldiers at any time like in Mobei. Such a death battle like him seemed a bit extravagant. So he had to add another sentence, "But Tian Ganzhen's troops lost at least 800 horse troops and more infantry. Because the Modao Army could not be used at night, they were not brought out at all, so I killed it with great pleasure."

"No wonder the general often said that the most fierce and fearless people in Anbeiya tent are under your Du Sui's command."

Pugu Huai'en talked about family matters indifferently with Azle, but the military orders were conveyed early. The only two thousand shield infantry in the entire army had been sent forward, and the cavalry were warming up the mounts and ready to attack at any time. In recent years, the Tang Dynasty had never lacked horses, so even infantry could often be matched with horses. They were only able to dismount and reorganize the army when they encountered a war and attacked according to the infantry tactics. However, for Anbeiya City, most of the foreign troops collected were grown on horseback, and riding and shooting assault was the instinct. Therefore, Pugu Huai'en was not afraid of Cui Ganyou's famous Modao Army, but instead felt excited to try it out.

"Cui Ganyou has infantry in front, the horse army has two wings, and the Modao hand is behind, so he thinks that his horse and infantry can tangle our Anbei horse army. His Modao hand can attack in the chaos, but he doesn't know that my servant Gu Huai'en once held the main force of the Uighur for half a day with few enemies. Today, the troops are equal, how can he succeed? He will kill with me? If one strike cannot break the enemy's formation, I will follow his surname Cui."

When Cui Ganyou saw that the banners of Pugu Huaien and Anbei Forefront Battalion finally moved, and as several horse troops rushed out from the infantry formation, his pupils suddenly shrank. This time he was leading his army to attack Chang'an, so there were no iron-rejected horses and spear soldiers in defense. Moreover, the huge number of cavalrymen of Pugu Huaien almost made him look out of his eyes. Even Youyan, who is good at raising horses, did not have such a proportion of cavalry, so he finally understood why Du Shiyi was not afraid of the bitter cold of Mobei and dared to guard there alone. The word "ma" alone is really too many than the Central Plains.

As Cui Ganyou thought, the most lacking thing in Anbeiya tent is military horses, so the horse training is all about real horse battles. People often die because of too strict training. As for the loss of horses, there are countless horses. In other major border towns, horses have a loss rate, but they are definitely not as high as 20% of the annual replacement ratio of Anbeiya tent. At this moment, the horses completely make up for it when they rush to the battlefield.

Destroy

When Pugu Huai'en took the lead in leading the most elite personal army and directly entered the enemy formation, his feeling was that in the Pugu tribe in Xiazhou for many days, the joy of reuniting with his mother and younger brothers was far more than the sigh of his father being instructed to be under house arrest by his mother. The generals and soldiers in his army received the best rest and supplies in the Pugu tribe. At this time, they were naturally as powerful as rainbows. When they rushed out of the enemy formation and stabbed them in one breath, they saw that Cui Ganyou's five thousand Modao soldiers had not yet caught up, Pugu Huai'en couldn't help laughing, but he had no intention of going forward to fight against this army that was enough to compete with the cavalry.

He has seen the benefits of the Mo Dao Army under Li Guangbi's command, but he doesn't want to experience it anymore.

It was not until this time that Cui Ganyou realized that he was in a state of chaos because he suddenly discovered that the soldiers and horses in Anbeiya City were coming to support him. At this time, he should not attack Pugu Huai'en at all. Instead, he should wait for the attack with defense, exhaust his mind and physical strength, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack him because he felt that the military and civilians in Chang'an City were unable to open the door to counterattack, so he wanted to try a counterattack, to defeat Pugu Huai'en's spirit, and to give the people in the city a warning.

However, at this time, it was too late for him to make up for this mistake. He could only do his best to revive his strength and order the infantry to slowly push back to the Modao Army, and he also led the horse army to avoid its edge. When Sun Xiaozhe was also angry and gathered his troops and retreated to the left wing of the army, he noticed that the infantry in the central army was advancing and retreating under the command, which looked extremely strange.

How did Cui Ganyou lead the troops? What does this mean?

Tian Ganzhen did not have as many doubts as Sun Xiaozhe. Just now, he finally fought with the Anbei vanguard battalion in broad daylight. It was the same horse army against the horse army. The other party's determination to confront the horse army, or the arrogant ones, which really made him suffer a big loss again. At this moment, when he collected the troops and returned to the right wing of the army, seeing Cui Ganyou's central army, he realized that the Anbei cavalry was too strong and his own horse army could not resist at all. Cui Ganyou had no choice but to turn off attack to defend, trying to lure the enemy into depth, and then sent a Modao army to decide the victory and defeat.

Pugu Huaien naturally saw this. After reorganizing the army, he ordered a soldier to come forward and shouted in a deep voice: "Go to Cui Ganyou's army with me and tell him that my Anbei Grand Protector Du and Shuofang's troops are coming from Jincheng County, so that he can weigh the trade-offs and surrender by himself."

It is enough to defeat the enemy's spirit in one battle, but he does not intend to repeatedly take his lives to attack the rebels.

The soldier looked solemn, kowtowed and got on a horse he had just taken out, turned around and galloped towards Cui Ganyou's army.

Seeing this lonely horse coming, Cui Ganyou knew that it must be a messenger, so he immediately ordered that no arrows be sent to stop him, so he sent a team of personal soldiers to escort him to him. When he saw this person, he heard him tell Pu Gu Huai'en what he said intact, his face remained motionless, but a storm surged in his heart, but Pu Gu Huai'en's reinforcement army had already made him difficult to deal with. If the reinforcements in Shuofang really came, how could he deal with it? Or, Pu Gu Huai'en just hoped that he would be in trouble.

However, the army was blocked first and then frustrated. How could Cui Ganyou show this kind of entanglement? He looked at the messenger in front of him coldly, and had a deep murderous intent in his heart. However, before he could even ask for an order, the soldier who was a messenger said loudly: "The two armies are facing each other, and we will not kill the envoys, but our army is rebellious, and we will not say any rules. In short, I have already brought my words, and now I have no regrets."

Tian Ganzhen was stunned when she heard this and immediately realized something. However, before he could try to stop it, the soldier's hand flashed with a cold light, a dagger and a wiping of neck. As the blood gushed out wildly, his body fell from the horse's back without any slight anger. Faced with such a tragic scene, even though Sun Xiaozhe killed countless people in the past, from enemies, prisoners of war and generals to his own soldiers, all feared his cruelty, but now such a messenger committed suicide after conveying the news, which was really too surprising for him.

"It's just that a death row prisoner was sent to send a message to disrupt our army's morale, and Pu Gu Huai'en is just like that."

Although Cui Ganyou's mind was very quick, he understood the truth of this scene in a moment, no matter how he explained it, he could not let the bloody scene disappear. He was about to order the corpse to be taken down and the five horses were dismembered to the public to incite the enemy to attack, but at this moment, a noise came from the rear army. Such a commotion made him very angry, who was already very alert, and immediately sent a team of personal soldiers to suppress it. But soon after, a personal soldier who returned in a hurry brought a message.

"General, it's not good. News came from Tongguan that the Tang army entered Hebei Road, and all prefectures and counties in Hebei were in a hurry."

"Not talking nonsense, where did Wang Chengye, the governor of Hedong, get the courage, he didn't even dare to rescue Luoyang, so how could he send troops to Hebei?" Sun Xiaozhe heard this sentence and was anxious and asked directly. As soon as he said that, he realized that his impulse was not enough to calm the situation, but it would only make the news spread more widely in the army, but now it is too late to remedy. He could only grit his teeth and volunteer, "General, this is clearly a trick of the Tang army. If we want to disrupt our morale, I am willing to lead the troops to fight again."

Even without Sun Xiaozhe's words, Cui Ganyou knew that the news would not be hidden for long. Even if Luoyang and Chang'an were captured this time and Youyan's old nest was out of stock, it means that most of the generals and soldiers in the army were in danger, and a large-scale mutiny would likely occur at that time. So, when Tian Ganzhen also followed Sun Xiaozhe's orders, even if he knew that the best way at this time was to withdraw his troops immediately and regroup, or to inquire about the situation in Luoyang and An Lushan before making plans, he had no way out at all.
