Because Xu Maogong also rushed forward quickly, the two armies fought together almost instantly.

Although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were much stronger than the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty in terms of combat effectiveness, the Tang army had just been attacked by a sneak attack at this time and lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and the morale was at a low point.

Moreover, there was a peerless military general like Ma Chao in the Dragon Kingdom army. Coupled with the impact of the Dragon City Cavalry, the king's division, the Tang army was no match for the Dragon Kingdom soldiers. It was completely defeated almost the moment the two sides came into contact.

Seeing that his soldiers were being mercilessly killed by the Dragon Kingdom soldiers, Xu Maogong had to order a retreat. After all, the army blocking the road was too fierce, especially the leading general, who was unstoppable.

In desperation, he had no choice but to lead his army to retreat temporarily while fighting, hoping to join up with the army at the rear and jointly resist Ma Chaohao's Dragon City cavalry.

However, at this time, in the center of the narrow passage, Taishi Ci also rushed down the hillside with three thousand Qin Rui soldiers, not only blocking Xu Maogong's retreat, but also completely separating him from the army behind him.

At this time, Qin Ruishi took advantage of the momentum of the hillside and rode on his horse, creating an extremely terrifying impact, causing more serious damage to Li Tang's army than the Dragon City cavalry.

In this case, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not only attacked from two sides and had no way to advance or retreat, but also had low morale. They could only huddle in the narrow passage and fight the Dragon Kingdom armies on both sides.

However, the nightmare of the Tang army was not over yet. The herald on the side waved his hand, and the last 50,000 Sui soldiers appeared on the valleys on both sides, but now they had a bow and arrow in their hands.

After all, Xu Maogong returned to Chang'an with 500,000 troops. Even though the army was never separated, because of his decisive decision, there were about 200,000 troops separated in the rear at this time.

Originally, the 300,000 troops should have had the advantage in strength, but in the narrow passage with valleys on both sides, the 300,000 troops could only gather together and become a huge target for the archers.

Even if these are surrendered soldiers of the Sui army, no matter how poor their combat effectiveness is and no matter how low the accuracy of their bows and arrows are, facing the densely packed Tang army at the bottom of the valley, even if they shoot arrows casually without aiming and with their eyes closed, they can still cause great damage to them..

Because the narrow passage was too narrow, only tens of thousands of people at the head and tail of the Tang army could fight the Long Kingdom soldiers on both sides. Many Tang troops in the middle were directly defeated by the enemy on the hillside without even having any contact with the enemy. The army shot and killed him.

This one-sided massacre lasted for two quarters of an hour, and more than half of Xu Maogong's 300,000 troops were lost, leaving only 120,000 or 30,000 soldiers.

At this time, Guo Jia saw that the confidence of the Tang army officers had almost collapsed, and felt that the time was almost up, so while sipping the wine from the wine gourd, he asked the soldiers beside him to stop shooting, and asked them to tell the enemy to surrender without killing.

Fifty thousand people shouted in unison, and coupled with the sound concentration effect of the valley, the voice of"surrender without killing" was deafening.

After the Tang army withstood huge rocks, powerful enemy troops, and rain of arrows, they had no idea of ​​fighting anymore, and they all dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading-collecting and recommending
