After all, Prince Yan is not a farmer. He was born in a royal family. He has good mental qualities, at least better than ordinary people in terms of emotional regulation. Now he has recovered from the sadness of his father's death. After listening to Guo Zhenying's words, Prince Yan has no expression on his face. "Since the war has already begun, the people of Dayan can accept any consequences. Because we don’t want to experience the fear of being arbitrarily controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and the grief and anger of being humiliated at will by the Tang people. Can overthrow the tyranny of the Tang Dynasty! Maybe our generation will not see that day, but I believe that the descendants and grandchildren of the Yan Kingdom can surely live proudly on this land!"
Guo Zhenying clapped his hands: "It's really good. If you say a few more words, I will be moved by you."
Prince Yan really had the intention to say a few more words, but Guo Zhenying did not give him this opportunity, not to mention that the previous sentence was originally a scene, or a ridicule.
"But you think you can defeat Datang by kneeling and licking the temple with the grassland tribe? I can only say that you are too naive. You can look back, Prince Yan, to see what your soldiers have become? See how Jicheng becomes What it looks like, let’s see what the palace has become. Yan Guo paid such a heavy price to win a small victory, and the forces you have accumulated over the years should be very small. There is no military power. , Why do you come to cooperate with the temple and the steppe tribe? I can say that if you continue to fight like this, the Yan Kingdom will become the kingdom of King Jinzuo soon, and you Yan people will become the slaves of the steppe people! Wait for the future When Tang’s iron rider flattened the entire territory of Yan Kingdom, you didn’t even have a chance to become slaves to the country, because from then on, there will be no pure-bred Yan people in the Great Wilderness!"
Prince Yan clenched his fists, his expression turned particularly gloomy, and every word Guo Zhenying said was inserted into his heart like a knife.
In this battle, the country of Yan suffered heavy losses.
The active military force was almost wiped out. What's even more frightening is that the Yan Jun's spirit has been defeated by Tang Jun. Even if they are forced to enter the battlefield in the future, they will be defeated the moment they see Tang Jun!
Datang Zhongqi used iron hoofs to directly crush the Yan Jun's will.
In addition to military power, the power of the royal family was also weakened, the emperor was slaughtered, and no one in the palace survived. Prince Yan can indeed be the emperor, but he has become a bachelor emperor with no brothers, no sisters, no elders, only him.
The words lonely and widowed are the most perfect expression in Prince Yan.
However, all this is only the situation within Yan's country. What makes Prince Yan feel helpless most is the failure of the Cavalry!
In the face of Datang heavy cavalry who were far fewer in number than his own, the sacred cavalry failed to make a complete victory and ended the battle with a loss ratio of two to one.
You know, Guo Zhenying has only about 500 heavy cavalry.
Five hundred cavalry heavy cavalry, in the face of three-way encirclement and suppression, can kill a thousand temple god cavalry, the combat effectiveness of this unit is simply terrifying to the extreme.
And such cavalry, Datang still has more than 10,000 in his hands!
Moreover, in addition to the heavy cavalry, the Xuanjia Army that did not participate in the battle is even more chilling.
If these two armies attack at the same time, who can stop their iron shoes
Is this victory really worth celebrating
Yong Yan stood up again, and first whispered to Prince Yan: "Don’t be hit by him.
scheming. "
Prince Yan suddenly returned to his senses.
What Guo Zhenying said just now really made him confused, and now he was reminded by Yong Yan that this was actually Guo Zhenying's strategy.
It deserves to be the most resourceful person among the cutting-edge generals of Datang.
Even if he has been defeated, he can still use words to hurt his enemy.
Yong Yan said: "General Guo, for what you said just now, I have to raise your evaluation to another level. But no matter how clever you are, you can't change the fact that you have already lost, nor can it change Datang's defeat. It’s not difficult to see with your wisdom that the military forces in the city are actually not equal. The reason is simple. One of my most elite cavalrymen did not follow me into the city, but detoured to Dawei city. Forget it. Time, they are almost reaching the outskirts of Dawei City, where there are also the armies of the Wei and Chu states, plus the Yan, the grassland, and the temple. The five parties will join forces and it is only a matter of time before they break through the Dawei city. "
"There is one more thing, because you are dying, I will also tell you, lest General Guo go to the underworld to be a fool. The agreement between the Tang Dynasty and the temple mentioned that the Cavalry The number must not exceed five thousand, but General Guo feels that the temple will honor the agreement honestly? The number of sacred cavalry has already exceeded 30,000, which is more than the combined number of Xuanjia Army and Datang Heavy Cavalry!"
"Now, the six kingdoms are one heart, plus the grassland tribe, the temple, and the help of the Buddha. What will the Great Tang use to fight us! The destruction of the Tang is already a certainty!"
In the face of Long Qing’s loud and vocal words, Guo Zhenying’s face remained unchanged, because his Datang’s trust would not be shaken by the gains and losses of one city and one place. No matter how powerful the enemy he faced, Guo Zhenying always believed in the final victory. On the one hand, it will be Datang.
It can only be Datang!
"None of us can convince each other, and the final result can only be seen on the battlefield." Guo Zhenying finished speaking, slowly raised the Tang knife in his hand, and took a piece of silk cloth from his waist and slowly wiped off Tang. The blood on the knife, and finally lifted the knife to squat!
When Guo Zhenying was still alive, Crown Prince Yan wanted to put him to death in a hurry and divide his body by five horses, but now he saw the corpse lying at the gate of the palace, and he suddenly lost all his interest.
Yong Yan also knew that Prince Yan felt uncomfortable, but he was actually very depressed.
The main plan of this ambush was Yong Yan. According to his plan, they only needed to pay a very small price to wipe out Guo Zhenying's army, and the Cavalry didn't even need to be on the stage.
But when the war really started, the situation did not develop as Yong Yan envisioned.
Five hundred heavy cavalry, in a brave and fearless way, smashed his plan to pieces!
As far as Yan State is concerned, Jicheng's military strength can be said to have been completely defeated, and the remaining small part of the Yan army has no combat capability. They can't hold their swords securely, and they don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder on the battlefield.
The prairie cavalry also suffered heavy losses in this battle. The only thing that can comfort Yong Yan is that none of the elites he brought into the city were the elites of King Jin Zuo, and even if they were all dead, Yong Yan would not feel distressed.
What makes Yong Yan unacceptable the most is the loss of the Cavalry!
If the number of heavy cavalry is not too small and the three sides are besieged, and the sacred cavalry is only allowed to charge the heavy cavalry head-on, it is estimated that the outcome of this battle is really hard to say.
"I want to say sorry to you." Yong Yan turned around and looked at Prince Yan: "I made the plan. In the end, I bear the greatest responsibility. I underestimated Guo Zhenying. I thought that He is a general who has just been promoted. It is impossible for him to be as strong as Meng Zhulu and Zhou Ding before. Therefore, he did not achieve perfection in the formulation of the plan. If it is unacceptable, if it is Meng Zhulu who is in charge of the army today , We definitely cannot win."
Prince Yan looked at Yong Yan, knowing that he hadn't finished speaking.
Yong Yan went on to say, "But don't be discouraged, let alone be discouraged, because Datang will perish."
Prince Yan frowned, and Yong Yan's inexplicable self-confidence made him feel whether this person was over-stimulated and had a wrong judgment on the situation.
With the appearance of the bird hitting today, how could he still have the courage to say the four words that Datang will die
Yong Yan naturally saw the distrust contained in Prince Yan’s expression. He explained: “Don’t think I’m talking nonsense just to comfort you. I have the confidence to speak like this! What I said to Guo Zhenying just now is not complete. It’s fake, or it’s all true. The most elite army under my command did a detour to Dawei. The Chu and Wei armies will also join me in that place. As for the specific number of sacred cavalry. Although it is not clear, it is definitely more than 30,000!"
"The entire Great Wilderness, the six kingdoms, plus the help of Dao Sect and Buddhism. Under the guidance of Heavenly Dao and the blessing of Goddess to attack Datang, I really can't think of the reason why we will lose!"
Prince Yan thought for a while and asked, "Why Dawei city?"
Yong Yan said bluntly: "It's very simple. First, Dawei City has limited defensive power. Currently, only the Flying Tiger Army under Zhou Ding is garrisoned. The city is also easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it can be over in a short time. Fight. Second, we need a victory in Datang, and it must be a complete victory. In this way, we can tell others that Datang is not invincible and build confidence for the coalition forces! Third, cross Dawei city and go to Going east is another great cliff in the northwest of the Great Tang. If you cross the cliff, there will be a plain without any protection. It is suitable for the charge of the god cavalry and the prairie cavalry, and can rush to the foot of Chang'an City in the shortest time!"
Prince Yan sighed: "Then do what you said, I will condense the remains of my father, and I will lose my company first."
Yong Yan looked at Prince Yan’s leaving back, and when he completely disappeared from sight, he turned around and said, “Gather all Tang Jun’s corpses and burn them. Cut off Guo Zhenying’s head and let the Vanguard take care of it. When fighting against Tang Jun in the future, we will hang up the head first. As for the corpse... Let’s leave it to Prince Yan. The people of Yan Kingdom need Guo Zhenying’s corpse more than we do. They have been suffocated for too long and it is time for them to vent. "
The news of the Battle of Jicheng also spread back to Chang'an for the first time.
The whole Changan was shocked!
Because this is the first time that the Tang army has been wiped out on the battlefield in nearly a hundred years!
Supreme Commander Guo Zhenying killed himself!
Above Chaotang, the quarrel has become a pot of porridge for this battle.
The proud Tang people could not accept such a defeat.
Even more unacceptable, he lost to Yan Ren who had never taken it seriously.
"This is a shame!" After Li Tong took office, the newly promoted Zuoxiang yelled at the military generals.
