A large number of Western Qin cavalry rushed over from the right rear side of Lu Ziqi's military formation.
These cavalry were sometimes scattered and sometimes neat.
When a large number of bows and arrows were fired from the rebel formation, these troops were dispersed in a blink of an eye.
In addition, the Western Qin cavalry had light and strong armor.
Not only were they powerful in maneuverability, but their defensive power was far superior to other cavalry at the same time.
From the rebels The waves of bows and arrows flying over from the military formation were just like scratching an itch.
When the rebels' arrows stopped, the Western Qin cavalry gathered in an instant and formed a neat team marching at a high speed.
"Bow!"
As Li Sheng roared, the cavalrymen of the Western Qin Army opened their bows and fired arrows.
Waves of arrows flew towards the rebel bow and arrow positions.
Arrows like dense locusts fell from the sky, leaving no protection.
The rebel crossbowmen caused continuous heavy casualties.
Seeing that the Western Qin cavalry was about to rush in front of him, the rebel general shouted: "Lance formation!"
The remaining rebel crossbowmen retreated one after another.
Teams and rows of spearmen came forward and squatted on the ground, holding their spears with both hands and thrusting them diagonally into the ground.
The rebel soldiers fully expected that the Western Qin cavalry would rush over and hit them in the forest of spears.
On the way up, the general of the Western Qin Dynasty who was at the front shouted: "Point!"
The Western Qin cavalry immediately pulled their reins, and the entire sprinting cavalry team split into two in the middle of the team and went around to the left and right sides.
However, the bows and arrows shot out without stopping.
The soldiers in the rebel spear formation kept firing.
There were screams after being hit by arrows, and a large area fell down.
The spear array quickly became tattered and riddled with holes.
When the positions of the Western Qin cavalry changed, and the front circled around again and came to the dilapidated military formation, it was Li Sheng who was leading the way.
With him, he shouted: "Follow me and charge into the formation!"
The Western Qin cavalry They lined up neatly and densely, put away their riding bows, took out their swords and rushed towards the rebel formation, waving them.
If the penetration of the enemy's formation is required when charging, the cavalry is most suitable to use a spear.
However, if the killing effect is pursued, the knife is the best.
Scimitar weapons are suitable for chopping on horseback.
The ferocious Xi Qin cavalry rushed into the dilapidated rebel gun formation, killing the rebel soldiers like chopping watermelons.
They dropped their weapons and fled everywhere.
The gun formation quickly collapsed, and the rebel soldiers who fled for their lives were killed.
Army spearmen swept in, and in the military formation behind them, the originally neat military formation was quickly disrupted.
A school captain rode a fast horse to Lu Ziqi and panted and reported: "General, something bad happened.
The spear array did not block the incoming cavalry.
They are proficient in riding and shooting.
Our army suffered heavy casualties.
The soldiers were thinking He ran for his life and dispersed the formation, and the right rear side could no longer withstand it."
Lu Ziqi's face turned a little pale, and he immediately said: "Pass this general's order to move the central and rear troops to resist the incoming enemy troops."
A general next to him cupped his fists and said: "General, our army does not have an advantage in terms of strength.
If we transfer all the Chinese troops, we will not be able to withstand Guo Ziyi's troops on the opposite side."
Lu Ziqi was about to get angry when Guo Ziyi's army was dispatched and launched a full-scale charge.
At this time, if Guo Ziyi didn't know what to do, he would be in vain.
Lu Ziqi was greatly frightened and cursed: "Guo Ziyi is indeed cunning.
Brothers, follow me and rush forward to kill Guo Ziyi."
None of the rebel soldiers are fools.

Many of these rebel soldiers are veterans and know how to look at the situation.
Now they are obviously being attacked from two sides.
To rush forward at this time is undoubtedly to seek death.
After the order is issued, these veteran soldiers Although the men rushed forward, their speed was very slow.
Many of them were untying their armor as they ran, ready to abandon their armor and escape at any time.
Sure enough, after the head-on confrontation, the rebel soldiers had no fighting spirit and collapsed instantly.
Lu Ziqi screamed his throat out and hacked to death dozens of soldiers who turned around and fled, but could not stop the collapse from spreading.
The deputy general pulled the reins of Lu Ziqi's war horse and shouted: "General, there is nothing we can do.
It's better to withdraw quickly.
It's too late to withdraw now.
If it's a moment later, I'm afraid the whole army will be annihilated."
Lu Ziqi turned around and looked around, and found that the situation was irreversible, so he had to grit his teeth and shout: "Withdraw" This retreat announced that the rebels were defeated, and the Tang army took advantage of the situation to pursue them.
Lu Ziqi had 30,000 troops, but only 6,000 could escape back to Zhongmou.
After escaping to Zhongmou, Lu Ziqi immediately gathered the defeated troops and deployed city defenses, preparing to block the Tang army's attack in Zhongmou.
However, he also knew that Zhongmou was only a small county, with crude fortifications and neither thick nor tall walls.
It could not stop the 100,000-strong army.
The powerful Tang army.
At this time, the rebels in Songzhou could no longer stop the joint attack of Zang Xiyan and Huainan Jiedushi Wei Yuanfu.
Li Lingyao, with 20,000 defeated soldiers, broke out of Songzhou from the northwest and fled all the way to Ningling, but the Tang army was in hot pursuit.
Li Lingyao could only continue to flee to Yongqiu.
However, when Li Lingyao heard that Lu Ziqi was defeated by the Tang army and lost more than 20,000 men, and was surrounded by the Tang army in Zhongmou, he was immediately shocked.
If the Tang army bypassed Zhongmou and attacked Bianzhou directly, wouldn't he even lose his old nest?
Li Lingyao no longer ignored the warning of Tian Yue who was far away in Caozhou, and fled back to Bianzhou with 20,000 soldiers and horses.
Zang Xiyan and Wei Yuanfu followed with their soldiers and horses all the way to the gate of Bianzhou City, giving Li Lingyao no chance to breathe.
On June 12, after holding on for twelve days, the food and grass in Zhongmou City were exhausted, all arrows were shot, and the weapons were unusable.
The rebel soldiers fell into despair.
Late that night, Tian Yue's general Lu Ziqi was killed by his subordinates in Zhongmou County.
In the morning of the next day, the rebels in Zhongmou City surrendered.
On June 14, Guo Ziyi led his army to the city of Bianzhou and together with Zang Xiyan and Wei Yuanfu, besieged Bianzhou.
Li Lingyao, his generals, and soldiers were all surrounded in the city.
Tian Yue, who was in Caozhou, finally reached an agreement with Li Na, the governor of Ziqing, to use the existing occupied territory as the boundary and not to invade each other.
Tian Yue was able to free up his hands and personally led an army of 50,000 people from Caozhou to Bianzhou in an attempt to lift the siege of Bianzhou.
Although Tian Yue was young, he knew very well that once Li Lingyao was destroyed, the imperial court's military spearhead would definitely be directed at him, the military governor of Wei Bo.
The Bian-Song area was a buffer zone and defensive barrier between him and the imperial court.
If the Bian-Song area was recaptured by the imperial court, then he and the imperial court would have to face each other.
He did not want to be destroyed, so he could only stand firm against Li Lingyao.
Tian Yue confidently led his army towards Bianzhou, but was attacked head-on by Li Sheng's army in Gu County.
His troops suffered serious losses, with only about 10,000 of his 50,000 elite soldiers left.
The Western Qin cavalry was unparalleled in the world, and Tian Yue's army was no match for him in the wild.
After Tian Yue suffered such a heavy blow, he was no longer able to rescue Li Lingyao and had to retreat to Weibo.
The Tang army surrounded Bianzhou and quickly launched an siege.
Half a month later, the city wall of Bianzhou was riddled with holes from stone bullets.
Li Lingyao knew that he could not escape, so he drew his sword and committed suicide in despair.
His troops cut off his head and opened the city gate to surrender to the Tang army, and Bianzhou returned to the imperial rule.
On the night of the first day of July, the Tang Army's commander-in-chief Guo Ziyi, deputy commanders Zang Xiyan and Wei Yuanfu; supervisors Lu Qi, Ma Chenggong, Gu Tongde, Mu Zihe; generals Wei Boyu, Luo Yuanguang, Qin Zhen, Xu Yongtian, Dai Xiuyan, Wang Ziyan, Fan Xichao, Gao Chongwen, other deputy generals and lower-level supervisors gathered together in the Bianzhou government office to hold a feast.

In addition, General Li Sheng of the Western Qin Army and his deputy generals were also invited as distinguished guests.
"Hahaha, General Li, I haven't seen you for many years.
I didn't expect to meet here today.
The general defeated Tian Yue's 50,000 elite troops with 5,000 cavalry.
It was really one against ten.
Such a great victory is really rare.
I'd like to give you a drink."
Zang Xiyan held up the cup Wine Glass said with a smile to Li Sheng.
Li Sheng quickly returned the gift: "Zang Shuai praised him so much.
He's too polite.
Li Sheng is too embarrassed to deserve it.
Li Sheng should give Zang Shuai a drink and do it first as a token of respect."
Guo Ziyi also raised his glass and said to Li Sheng: "More than ten years ago, I heard that the regent had a brave and resourceful general named Li Sheng.
At that time, I yearned for him, but I never had the chance.
I thought I could reach Hebei.
Once you have a chance to join the Regent's army, you can I saw General Li soon, but I didn’t expect that the imperial court would dispatch the regent to quell the Tibetan invasion.
General Li also went with him, but he never saw him.
I didn’t expect to see him this time, and he had to help the general to annihilate the traitor Li Lingyao. , beat Tian Yue away.
I’ll give you a drink.”
"Don't dare, don't dare.
Li Sheng has a drink for Marshal Guo."
Li Sheng immediately picked up the wine glass and drank another glass.
With Guo Ziyi and Zang Xiyan taking the lead, other supervisors and generals began to toast Li Sheng.
Although Li Sheng didn't drink much, he couldn't handle the crowd.
When the two lieutenants saw it, they immediately stopped the wine and drank instead.
Only then did Li Sheng Sheng had time to breathe.
Being able to annihilate Li Lingyao and drive away Tian Yue so quickly is indeed worthy of a big celebration.
Although Guo Ziyi, Zang Xiyan and others are not young, because they are happy, they also drink together with some young generals, and everyone has a banquet.
It was dark and we drank until late at night before leaving.
Since Guo Ziyi was the commander-in-chief, he lived in the government office.
The marshal's camp was located in the Bianzhou government office.
Everyone else had residences in the city.
After the banquet, everyone left one after another.
The soldiers guarding the gate of the government office were about to close the door.
At this time, a carriage stopped at the door of the government office.
Cui Youfu, a member of Zhongshushe, got off the carriage, followed by two followers.
He came to the gate of the government office and stopped him who was about to close the door.
The soldier cupped his hands and said: "This little brother, please tell me that Cui Youfu has asked to see General Guo Yao.
This is my famous assassin."
After taking it, the soldier looked at Cui Youfu a few times and said, "Sir, please wait a moment."
But he said that Lu Qi, who was drunk, left the government office in a carriage not long ago.
On the way back to his residence, he suddenly remembered that someone from the gendarmerie reported to him yesterday that Guo Ziyi's sixth son, Guo Yan, was not paid for the things he sold on the street. , the stall owner held him back and refused to let him go.
He actually kicked over the stall and beat the stall owner.
He was hit by four gendarmes on patrol.
Guo Yan did not stop doing anything and even beat up the four gendarmes.

And go.
Lu Qi thought for a while and thought that although this matter was a bit serious, Guo Ai was Guo Ziyi's son after all, and he was also the prince-in-law.
If he arrested Guo Ai anyway, it would probably affect the subsequent counter-insurgency affairs, so he decided Before returning to the government office to see Guo Ziyi, it would be best for Guo Ai to surrender himself to the gendarmerie, so that he can get a lighter punishment according to relevant regulations.
"Turn around and go back" "Yes, sir," the coachman agreed, turning the horse around and returning to the government office
