This sniper battle is particularly difficult for He Qiannian due to underestimation due to the asymmetry of intelligence.

As a general who has led troops for many years, sometimes you can see whether the enemy is powerful and whether it can be defeated without even fighting.

This is a very fantasy intuition, just like what Zhang Da Demon King said in the table tennis court. Before the two sides shook hands, she knew that the other party would lose.

Looking at the ten thousand cavalrymen who came out one after another, He Qiannian felt like he was losing.

An Lushan's rebels were once the border army, and Anxi was also the border army, but the qualities between the border army and the border army were also different.

Although the soldiers under An Lushan were guarding the border for many years and had experienced many major wars, they were far inferior to the Anxi Army when practicing on a daily basis. The common practice of the Tang army was to practice every three or five days, and the intensity of the training was not that high. Usually, they were training queues and formations, and each trained long halberds, spears, bows and arrows according to the types of troops.

The intensity of the Anxi Army's training was more than several times that of the Tang army, and they were trained every day, regardless of wind and rain. Not to mention anything else, the rebels were far from comparable to physical strength and endurance alone.

According to the prior agreement, Chang Zhong first led the army to charge. When the war was in a stalemate, Shen Tian led another cavalry to charge.

When the left-wing soldiers and horses on both sides were in a fierce battle, ten thousand soldiers under Shen Tian rushed out from the east, completely changing the situation on the battlefield.

He Qiannian saw another cavalry of ten thousand people coming, and he couldn't help but feel scared. He hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the five thousand soldiers and horses from the left wing to form a defensive formation to resist the enemy.

Shen Tian is not as calm as Chang Zhong when he uses troops, but he is more fierce than Chang Zhong.

When launching a charge as agreed, Shen Tian first saw the rebels' central defense formation and ordered a direct charge against the defense formation.

"Bow and arrow, let go!" He Qiannian roared with glaring eyes.

In the rebel defense formation, a row of bows and arrows shot towards Shen Tian's troops, and Shen Tian's cavalry immediately fell off his horse in a muffled voice.

Shen Tian was still unaware of anything, but instead ordered a speed up the charge and rode his horse to rush towards the rebel central army formation more fiercely.

The cavalry charged too fast, and the rebels had only time to fire two rounds of arrows. Shen Tian's troops rushed to the front, and with a loud bang, the war horses brutally broke through the shield in the front of the rebels, and inserted them into the center of the rebels' defense formation like a sharp dagger.

At this time, Chang Zhong also withdrew the five thousand soldiers on the left wing and divided the troops into two groups again, cutting off the connection between the rebels' rear army and the central army, and cutting off the connection between the front army and the central army along the other.

Shen Tian's troops were responsible for breaking the formation, and Chang Zhong's troops were responsible for cutting. In a blink of an eye, the rebels were cut into three parts by Shen Tian and Chang Zhong. The most important central army formation was defeated by Shen Tian. After the cavalry rushed into the defensive formation, the rebels' system was disrupted and they could no longer organize effective formation defense. They could only gather together and form formations in units of small fires to resist the storm-like attacks and massacres of Shen Tian's troops.

He Qiannian was trembling and frightened. He knew that he could not save his 20,000 troops. He had led his troops for many years and had been guarding the border for many years. He Qiannian himself was also a powerful general, but he never knew that there were such fierce and elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty.

Where did they come out? Who is their head coach?

Another very important question is that 20,000 troops have been defeated. How can I get an appointment with An Jieshou after I go back?

This question emerged from his mind. He Qiannian had lost his fighting spirit. When his deputy general kept sending orders to resist in all directions, He Qiannian quickly winked with his personal guards, then turned his horse's head, and then broke out when he hit the horse.

The commander of the first army made an escape move, and the morale of the rebels fell like a cliff. Some simply threw down their weapons and knelt down on their heads and surrendered, while others also broke out and ran away.

Chen Tian, ​​who was rushing to the central army, was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't forget the Marquis' promise. One of the rebels' heads can be rewarded with fifty cents, and one of the rebels' generals can be rewarded with one hundred cents. What are you waiting for?"

This sentence was like giving the soldiers of Anxi Army a shot of chicken blood. The soldiers fighting became more and more excited, and the offensive became more and more fierce. They rushed and killed them as if they were desperate, and they only slashed the rebels' neck.

At this time, under the desperate guards of his personal guards, He Qiannian had already rushed out of the encirclement and fled to Longzhou to the south.

He turned his head in panic and looked at it. The 20,000 soldiers and horses behind him were surrounded and shrill screams and desperate roars came from it. He Qiannian's heart suddenly sank into the bottom of the valley.

This army is completely finished.

Half an hour later, the sniper on the official road was over. In this battle, more than 10,000 enemies were annihilated. Less than 3,000 rebels surrendered. It was not that the rebels refused to surrender, but that the soldiers of the Anxi Army were red-eyed. Mr. Gu said that you can get rewards for beheading the enemy's heads. The surrendered rebels were blocking their own way of wealth. So in the chaos of the fight, many of the rebels who had already surrendered were also cut off their heads by the Anxi Army.

After the war ended, the soldiers nervously and quickly cleaned the battlefield, and Chang Zhong and Shen Tian finally met.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Chang Zhong said, "Brother Chen is so courageous. You have broken through the defense of the rebels' central army so stable."

Chen Tian also smiled and said, "Brother Chang's first battle is well fought. The rebels were already killed by Brother Chang and were frightened, so I, a latecomer, took advantage."

Chang Zhong looked south and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that their chief general has fled. If the rebel general can be captured alive, the marquis will report to the court. This contribution may be promoted to a half-level official."

Chen Tian touched his chin and said, "This place is only a hundred miles away from Longzhou. If An Lushan knew that his 20,000 troops were sniped by us, I wonder if another army would be sent to avenge him? If we really sent a large army, we would set up another ambush, maybe..."

Chang Zhong hurriedly said, "Don't forget the Marquis' military orders, and evacuate immediately after sniping the rebels. You are not allowed to fight with merits, otherwise the military law will be difficult to forgive."

Chen Tian smacked his lips regretfully and sighed: "Actually, the soldiers still have the power to fight. Look at these kids, they are all busy cutting their heads and waiting to get rich. If they tell them to fight again, no one will object."

Chang Zhong laughed: "But the Marquis will object. The Marquis's face will make me feel sad, so I, who are thirty or forty years old, will be sad."

Chen Tian nodded and said regretfully: "Forget it, I'm afraid of the Marquis' military law..."

Then he turned his head and shouted: "Cleaning the battlefield quickly and taking away all the rebels' war horses, weapons, arrows and armor!"

Chang Zhong also said to the personal guard next to him: "Send someone to tell Liu Hongbo that the rebel reinforcements have been sniped by us, and he can capture Qingzhou City."

…………

Outside Yuanzhou City, the Anxi Army Camp.

The good news came to the commander's tent, but Gu Qing did not show too much joy. He originally planned the action after thinking twice. Winning was expected, but losing was strange.

"How many soldiers have we lost?" Gu Qing's first question was not the result of the battle, but the loss.

Chang Zhong lowered his head and said, "More than 2,000 were lost, more than 1,000 were killed in battle, seven hundred seriously injured, and more minor injuries..."

Gu Qing nodded and sighed: "Have the remains of the dead man been transported back?"

“Transported back.”

"I will ask the Chinese military officials to make a book and give them good tribute to their families."

"yes."

Then Gu Qing asked about the results of the battle: "In this battle, more than 10,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 3,000 surrendered, what were seized?"

"More than 5,000 rebels' war horses, nearly 20,000 weapons, more than 100,000 arrows, armor and food, etc. have been seized, but it has not been counted yet."

Gu Qing nodded, then looked at Duan Wuji next to him and said, "You write a memorial to report victory in my name. To the more than 10,000 rebels killed by the soldiers and the three thousand surrendered rebels, send all of them to Chang'an. Oh, let our emperor be happy, and the credit book of this battle will be sent together. The emperor should understand what I mean."

Duan Wuji hesitated for a moment and said, "Marty, should you wait until General Liu's troops recover Qingzhou and report the victory together?"

Gu Qing shook his head: "No, no matter how big or small the victory is, good news must be called good luck one after another. Plain sniping and regaining the city are two different things..."

After a pause, Gu Qing said again: "On the way to send people to escort prisoners to Chang'an, bypass the city occupied by the rebels, beat drums and drums all the way, and told the officials along the way that the Anxi army had won a great victory and annihilated 20,000 rebels. The heads and prisoners of the rebels were strung together in a string of long ropes and sent them to Chang'an."

Duan Wuji showed a glimmer of emotion and smiled and said, "Yes."

"Liu Hongbo did this after he recovered Qingzhou, beating drums and drums all the way, so that everyone in the world knows the reputation of our Anxi Army."

Chang Zhong hesitated and said, "Mr. Marquis, is this big move a big move? If An Lushan is crazy and sent troops to attack at any cost, we may not be able to bear it."

Gu Qing gave him a blank look: "If you can't bear it, let's run. Each of us has a war horse, and are you afraid that you can't run away? At worst, you can lead An Lushan's nose to lead the rebels... Well, lead him to Geshuhan. If An Lushan really has the ability to give up his original strategic intention and beat us at all costs, I respect him as a man."

Seeing that Chang Zhong was still puzzled, Gu Qing had to say: "In addition to promoting the reputation of our Anxi Army, this move is more important to turn passive into initiative on the battlefield. Since the Anxi Army entered the desert and participated in the war, it must change the current situation on the battlefield."

"From now on, the rebels will no longer have the final say in the place where they want to fight. An Lushan has to pay attention to the every move of our Anxi army. In other words, in the future, our Anxi army will recover wherever we want to recover. An Lushan can only passively send troops to support us."

Hurry footsteps came from outside the tent, and a personal guard said happily: "Marty, the good news came from Qingzhou just now. This morning, Liu Hongbo's troops united troops to recover Qingzhou, and the three thousand rebels guarding the city were wiped out."

The three of them in the handsome tent laughed.

Gu Qing immediately said: "After recovering the good news from Qingzhou, I will report it one day after the victory. Wuji, you will write down the good news from sniping 20,000 rebels and send it to Chang'an, and then report it to the good news tomorrow to recover the lost territory."
