Chapter 6 In the fifth quarter, the Huangchao army was defeated

After the party members moved inland for the second time, they lived a life of peace and contentment.But good times don't last long. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xizong abandoned the government, and as a result, the people were in dire straits and the world was in chaos.Tuoba Sigong, the leader of the Dangxiang Pingxia Department, lost no time in taking advantage of the chaotic situation at that time, and saw an excellent opportunity to further develop his own power... At the end of the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Xizong was in power, the Huangchao Rebellion broke out.Huang Chao's army moved to most of China and invaded Chang'an. Emperor Xizong fled to Shu in a hurry, and issued an imperial edict, demanding that all local envoys send troops to serve the king.Tuoba Sigong received the order from his superiors. Given his political status and strength at that time, he might not be qualified to accept the emperor's edict. It should be an order conveyed to him by other Jiedu envoys. The emperor asked us to raise troops to suppress the rebellion. Troops come on.

Tuoba Sigong received the order and immediately led 20,000 cavalry to recover Chang'an. After joining forces with several Jiedu envoys, there were a total of 50,000 troops.The emperor was very happy about this. Since Tuoba Sigong was originally a subordinate, not an official military governor of the imperial court. Si Gong was promoted to an official.Tuoba Sigong became even more energetic, and 20,000 cavalrymen went straight to the city of Chang'an to start a battle with Huang Chao's army.He sent his younger brother Tuoba Sizhong as the vanguard to confront Huang Chao's troops across the Wei River.

Huang Chaojun's coach at the time was Zhu Wen, who later wiped out the Tang Dynasty, and was Huang Chao's number one general.He was born in a poor family and has excellent martial arts skills, especially in war.The smallest unit of the ancient army was the team. When a team went up to fight, if the leader died in battle and the rest retreated, the whole team would be killed; if most of the soldiers in a team were killed, the leader returned and killed the leader.In short, unless the battle is over and you return victorious, no one will want to come back. When you go to the battlefield, you will die for me.During the battle, as long as someone escapes back, he will die without a doubt. If he does not die in front of the battle, he will die by military law.Zhu Wen used this trick to coerce soldiers to maintain his combat effectiveness, so Huang Chao relied on him very much.The two armies faced each other across the Wei River, and Tuoba Sizhong led more than a thousand elite cavalry to challenge.

Sizhong is highly skilled in martial arts. He drew a bow and set an arrow, and shot the iron crane on the Weishui River bridge with one arrow.Zhu Wen was taken aback, this guy is so powerful, he can shoot an arrow into the iron crane!If you want to shoot me, don't you just wear it?When avoiding its edge, in order to seek it, so waved the command flag, retreated step by step, and laid an ambush at the same time.Tuoba Sizhong saw that Zhu Wen had retreated, thinking that Huang Chao's army was nothing more than that, he underestimated the enemy for a while, and led more than a thousand cavalry to rush over.All of a sudden ambushes broke out, and more than a thousand people under Tuoba Sizhong were all killed in battle, and none of them survived.Zhu Wen counterattacked with his army at the right time, and Tuoba Sigong was defeated.Tuoba Sigong thought about it, I was originally a person with two surnames, should I work for Li Tang Dynasty, I should go back to my hometown in Pingxia.
