Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In this anxious battle, Tang Jun has burned all his mental and physical strength until now. The reason why he can continue to fight is just to hold on with one breath.

    And when the Ming army led by Jiao Fangwei rushed from behind them, this tone was completely relieved.

    The entire Tang army began to collapse.

    It was sparse at first, but then it was a massive rout.

    Many times, faith collapses in an instant.  The collapse of belief often directly leads to the disappearance of strength, which in turn causes a person to transform from the inside out.

    The entire Tang army completely collapsed under such circumstances.

    Chai Shao tried his best to restrain his troops in the army, but it was to no avail.  In the chaos of the army, he himself was unable to stand and could not command the troops.

    Chai Shao could only look up to the sky and shout: "I will die here!"

    Du Shiyuan desperately came to Chai Shao's side and shouted loudly: "General, retreat! Yang'an Pass is lost, we still have Lizhou and Jiange, and behind us is the army of King Huai'an. We don't have to lose our lives here!"  "

    "There is no future!"

    Chai Shao shouted almost at the top of his lungs.  At this time, his eyes were red, his face was full of grief and anger, and the grief in his heart was beyond words.

    "The King of Tang is dead, the crown prince has a falling out with the Duke of Qi, Li Shentong is wise enough to protect himself, the entire Li Tang Dynasty is in ruins, there is no future!"

    "General!"

    "You all can run away for your lives. I am deeply favored by the King of Tang Dynasty and I should die to serve my country, but you don't have to do this!"

    Everyone knelt down and cried bitterly around Chai Shao.

    Chai Shao didn't care about the crowd, reined in his horse and rushed forward.  There are not many people behind him. These are all his personal soldiers, people who are truly willing to die for him.

    Chai Shao rushed into the crowd without hesitation, but there were too many Ming troops on the opposite side. He tried his best to kill them, but it didn't have much effect.

    Chai Shao himself is not known for his bravery.

    Chai Shao's horse was hit by several arrows, and Chai Shao himself was knocked off his horse.

    Looking at the war horse that had been following him for several years, but now lying on the ground and unable to get up, Chai Shao couldn't help but shed tears.

    "Ma'er, horse, today you and I will die here together!"

    Chai Shao stepped forward and stabbed his horse to death to save it from pain, while he himself rushed into the rebel army again.

    The stubborn Chai Shao, with infinite hatred, fought until he was the last man standing, until he suffered more than twenty wounds on his body and died in the chaos.

    With the death of Chai Shao, his tribes were also destroyed one after another.

    At this time, all the Tang troops who made the surprise attack gathered on the Jinniu Road, either surrendering or retreating. Only Ma Sanbao led the remnants of the Tang troops to retreat into Jiguan Pass.

    At this time, Yang'an Pass has been lost, and there is no longer much meaning in holding Jiguan Pass.  Moreover, there was a shortage of troops and food in the pass, so Ma Sanbao discussed with his subordinates to abandon Jiguan Pass and break through to the south.

    Ma Sanbao¡¯s decision to break out of the encirclement was not wrong. There was indeed no need to defend Jiguan Pass, but it has to be said that they broke through too late. There was the Ming army in front of them and mountains behind them. Where to break through.

    Ma Sanbao took the remaining troops and retreated to Lizhou along the Sandao River, while the Ming army behind him was in hot pursuit.  The entire army retreated to Longmen Mountain and was surrounded by the Ming army.

    The Tang army fought hard and could not break through. In the end, the entire army was wiped out from Ma Sanbao down.

    Ma Sanbao's death represented the complete destruction of Li Tang's last elite unit in northern Sichuan.

    Most of Chai Shao's troops were veterans of Guanzhong, and their eliteness was unmatched by either Ren Gui's or Chen Yanshou's troops. The reason why Li Yuan placed them in Xingzhou was to serve as the central army of the entire northern Sichuan defense line, providing support from all sides.  , ensuring the integrity of the northern Sichuan defense line.

    With the destruction of Chai Shao's tribe, the entire northern Sichuan defense line has actually been completely shattered.

    There is no longer much suspense about the attack of the Ming North Route Army.

    After the war, Huang Mingliao inspected the battlefield and was shocked at every step as he stepped on the bloody water.

    When I saw Chai Shao¡¯s body, I saw that he was covered in wounds and there was almost no good place. In the end, I had to praise: "What a man!" He was buried.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    In the battle of Yanganguan, the Ming army wiped out more than 20,000 enemies and became the first victorious battle in Sichuan.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#32&#35835&#29306

    However, post-war statistics show that the Ming army also suffered heavy casualties, especially the Forty-sixth Army and the Forty-eighth Army of Youjingwei, which were almost disabled.

    In the short term, it will be difficult to restore combat effectiveness.

    Although the military situation was urgent, the entire Ming army was exhausted in the battle of Yang'anguan.  In order to protectBecause of the combat effectiveness of the troops, Huang Mingliao had to order the three armies to repair for three days before moving forward.

    However, in order to prevent the Tang army from re-establishing its defense line in Lizhou, Huang Mingliao ordered Chen Ju to lead two battalions of Youwuwei cavalry to go south along the Jinniu Road, harass the Tang army, disrupt the Tang army's defense layout, and buy time for the main force to move south.  At this time Zhang Si

    Chen Ju also fought this battle as a guerrilla war, so he went out with light troops and many scouts. He himself was even more cautious and fought steadily, lest he advance rashly, encounter an ambush by the Tang army, and capsize in the ditch.

    Unexpectedly, Chen Ju went all the way south, and his troops reached more than ten miles north of Miangu County (now Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province), but still did not find the movement of the Tang army.

    Miangu County is the seat of Lizhou (Yicheng County). It has steep terrain and convenient transportation. It is the core area of ??the entire northern Sichuan and a must-have for military strategists.

    According to previous intelligence, this place is guarded by Li Shentong, but there are tens of thousands of Tang troops.

    In Huang Mingliao's original plan, he had to complete a tug-of-war with the Tang army in Miangu before he could have a chance to enter Sichuan.

    It is a huge anomaly that the Tang army did not show up in such an important place.  The experienced Chen Ju was also worried about fraud and did not dare to move forward. He only sent dozens of riders to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Miangu County.

    And Chen Ju himself was even more ready to retreat at any time.

    These cavalrymen sent by Chen Ju were both scouts and decoys.  In Chen Ju's view, if the Tang army had an ambush, they would definitely not miss the opportunity to devour these dozens of horses.

    It has just rained and the road is muddy.  But these scouts galloped all the way, not daring to stop at all, and almost reached the outer wall of Miangu County.

    Everyone was cautious and observed their surroundings.

    But even so, not even a single soldier of the Tang army was seen, let alone an ambush.

    This scout team is also confused. Where is the Tang army?

    The bold Ming army stepped forward and asked the surrounding people, only to learn that the Tang army that had been stationed in Mian Valley had withdrawn two days ago, and there was no Tang army soldier in the city.

    The Ming army¡¯s scouts simply couldn¡¯t believe it.  This group of people just thought that the surrounding people were lying to them. Miangu wanted the land, so how could the Tang army escape without a fight.

    In the end, the leading brigade commander was brave and led a few people to the city gate.

    At this time, the city gate was closed, so this man pretended to be an envoy of the Ming army and called at the door.  Zhi Da Zhi Xiao

    There was no response at first.

    The brigade commander waited for a while, became impatient and wanted to leave.  At this moment, the gate of Miangu County opened, and some people without official robes came out.

    These people are all from aristocratic families in Miangu County, and they all surrendered to the Ming army.

    At this point, everyone dared to believe that the Tang army in Miangu had really escaped
