Li Jing ordered the generals to send troops to serve the king in the name of the Grand Marshal of the World, and Huang Chao from Chang'an was not willing to sit and wait for death. When he was about to face the attack of the three major vassal forces of Guanzhong, Hedong and Central Plains, Huang Chao immediately dispatched troops and prepared to fight.

Huang Chao's counterattack was organized in two directions, and two clusters were organized. On the eastern front, due to the failure of the Battle of Xuzhou, Huang Chao appointed Zhu Wen, the governor of Xuanwu, as the marshal of the East Camp, responsible for guarding Luoyang. However, Zhu Wen, the marshal of the east, did not have many soldiers. Although Huang Chao assigned the generals of Xuanwu, Zhongwu, Heyang, Hezhong, and Shaanxi Guo to Zhu Wen, in fact, Xuanwu only occupies one Bianzhou and one Zhengzhou. The three towns of Zhongwu and Hezhong Town have returned to the Tang Dynasty again. Zhuge Shuang from Heyang Town was defeated and driven away by Han Jian. Zhu Wen's sons who could control were Bianzheng, Luoyang, and Shaanxi Guo. In fact, they were only half of Xuanwu Town.

However, compared with the eastern front, Huang Chao's Western Front was the strategic focus of this time. Huang Chao appointed the command camp of the Western Front very advanced. The commander of the Great Qi Empire was very advanced. The commander was the second in command of the Great Qi Empire, and the Grand Marshal Shang Rang. There were also general Jing Guangyin Wang Fan, and Huang Chao's nephew, the heroic army envoy Lin Yan, as deputy generals. A total of more than 50,000 elite soldiers were mediated, and the soldiers were aimed directly at Fengxiang. Huang Chao's goal this time was very clear. Before the three coalition forces formed a siege, they would first send troops to destroy the leading bird of Guanzhong Zheng Tsai, so as to show the military power of the Great Qi Empire in front of the towns in Guanzhong.

This is just like Huang Chao's behavior when he was still a salt vendor. He also had to find a weak person to beat him up first, so as to kill the chicken and show his own force, and pay attention to etiquette first and then soldiers.

Although Huang Chao has now become the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, Shang Rang is no longer the boy who followed Shang Junchang back then, in Shang Rang's view, Zheng Ting is just a scholar and literati, and it is no different from Wang Duo, who once served as the chief minister of the rebel army. He is full of confidence in this task.

Shang Rang led 50,000 elite troops into Longwei Pond, Qizhou.

The front army of Qi army scouted Hou and flew into the cavalry.

"Report!"

The scout was caught off the horse and panted and reported loudly: "I found the traces of Zheng Ting, and was leading thousands of Tang troops to station in the bare Gaogang in front!"

Hearing this military situation, he was a little puzzled, but he still ordered the formation to advance carefully. After the troops advanced for a while, he found that Zheng Ting was leading thousands of Tang troops to station on a bare hillside, which was very similar to Ma Su during the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, these Tang troops seemed to be bluffing and planting many military flags on the hills. However, they were inserted very much, and they were full of holes. At a glance, they were sparse and full of flaws. In short, Zheng Ting's manifestation was enough for an outsider. If there were more laymen, there would be more laymen.

If the person who commanded this Tang army was a general of the Tang army, then Shang Rang might suspect that the other party deliberately set up a suspicion array to lure them over. But the other party was Zheng Ting. He was originally a scholar and civil servant. His bad performance made Shang Rang think that this was a normal performance.

"Hahaha!" Shang Rang laughed, "I passed the orders of the general, blowing the horns and drums, and ordered the entire army to charge and go down in one go. No need to worry about the array and tactics. There is no need to deal with scholars like Zheng Ting. Remember, if you want to capture Zheng Ting alive, don't hurt him."

"Taiwei. Be careful of Zheng Shi's fraud! This old guy seems to be treacherous. If he deliberately tricks and then sets up an ambush, wouldn't he fall into the trap?" Zhang Juyan, the Minister of Personnel, immediately advised.

However, Shang Rang couldn't listen to Zhang Juyan's words at all, or he looked down on this old brother of Cao Jun. Zhang Juyan's original name was Zhang Yan, but because Huang Chao's nephew was named Lin Yan, he immediately changed his name to Zhang Juyan. In addition, Zhang Juyan had always been responsible for logistics affairs in Cao Jun. Therefore, Shang Rang, the general who charged in the battle, never looked at him directly. Even though Huang Chao is now established, Zhang Juyan has been appointed as the head of the six ministries of the Shangshu Provincial Department of Personnel because he has made contributions in charge of logistics affairs. However, Shang Rang, who is appointed as the Grand Marshal, also didn't care much about his suggestions.

When Zheng Qi received the reward from the vanguard, Shang Rang was already preparing to charge, he was riding a horse and standing on the bare Gaogang. Under the purple flag, his purple robe was extremely conspicuous among a group of shining armor. He heard Shang Rang's order to charge, and was happy instead of fear. He turned his head excitedly to the more than ten officers behind him wearing shiny armor and red Shu brocade cloaks, saying: "The crazy thief can be destroyed!"

The more than ten cavalry behind congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to the commander, the horse is successful!"

Zheng Ting's lips were trembling with excitement. He knew that this battle was crucial. If he won, his prestige would be higher, and he would be able to restrain the generals of the Guanzhong towns from then on. If he failed, perhaps the Guanzhong coalition forces that had finally assembled might disperse and return to the town in various ways.

"I have to thank you all the people sent by the King of Qin. If it weren't for the wonderful strategy proposed by your Qin vassal military observation team, it would be not easy to deal with the 50,000 elite troops. This is really a pillow when you are asleep, and a rain will be brought down by a long drought. The loyalty and righteousness of the King of Qin is admired by the world, and I admire it. People all say that the King of Qin is the only one who has the power to dominate, but now looking at the performance of the King of Qin, not only calls on all towns in the world to send troops to serve the king with his prestige, and organizes three major coalition forces. He has also been fighting with the bandits in Henan, not only suppressing the bandits south of the canal, but also recovering the important towns of Xuzhou and Suzhou. He also joined forces with the generals of Henan to recover Song and Caozhou one after another. At present, not only Li Quanzhong's 50,000 troops to fight the king, but also forcing the Shatuo people to also go south to participate in the war. It is really a great contribution. It is an important official of the Tang Dynasty's revival."

The more than ten cavalry behind Zheng Qi were the Qin Army Military Observation Group sent to Guanzhong not long ago. The observation group had a total of 200 people, composed of 50 outstanding young staff members and 150 years of escorts. The staff members were staff scientists who had just graduated from the martial arts lecture hall, and the guards were cadets who had just graduated from the military academy. Li Jing formed a total of three such military observation groups, including one of the three coalition forces in Guanzhong, Hedong and Henan. They were sent to the coalition forces, not only as liaison officers, observing the movements ahead, but also giving them the opportunity to intern on the battlefield.

The military observation group sent to Guanzhong, just after arriving in Guanzhong, received news that the Guanzhong coalition forces were facing the invasion of Huang Chao's 50,000 troops. After receiving the news, many generals of the Guanzhong coalition forces proposed to retreat, and even Zheng Ting was a little hesitant. In the end, Zhao Chong, the leader of the observation group, proposed a plan to the coalition forces and a plan to take the initiative.

At present, the Qi army was just as expected and crashed into the trap of the Guanzhong Allied Forces.

The strategy proposed by Zhao Chong was actually very simple. He deliberately chose a suitable terrain like Longyan Pond, and then set up a low-level formation, using Zheng Ting as bait. He lured the enemy to underestimate the enemy and make mistakes.

Five thousand Fengxiang Yamen formed a formation in Gaogang and protected Zheng Qi. However, tens of thousands of Guanzhong Allied Forces were ambushed around Longwei Pond, waiting for the Qi army to take the bait. This was the real killer weapon in the hands of the Qin army's observation group.

Although Shang Rang knew that Zheng Ting had joined forces with the eight towns of Guanzhong, he was not clear about the number of Guanzhong Allied Forces and believed that the Guanzhong Allied Forces would not have too many troops to fight here. However, it never meant that in this battle, Zheng Ting directly brought a total of 100,000 Guanzhong Allied Forces. Although these 100,000 soldiers and horses, strictly speaking, may actually be more inferior than the 50,000 Qi troops brought by Shang Rang. It was a bit of a mob.

But the Guanzhong Allied Forces still have great advantages over 100,000 to 50,000. What's more, the Guanzhong Alliance is now completely trapped in the trick of seducing the enemy.

Both the Guanzhong Allied Forces and the Qi army are not elite soldiers of all kinds of battles. Such soldiers rely entirely on fighting with the wind. It is better to fight head-on, but if they are attacked from the side or encircled, they may collapse in morale.

Amid the sound of war drums and horns, tens of thousands of Qi troops attacked Gao Gang in a row, just like their countless battles in the past.

The tactics of the sea of ​​people are the most commonly used tricks by the Rebel Army, the predecessor of the Qi army and the Cao army.

Without formation, the team will be scattered and cannot form formations. But often under the impact of such soldiers' ocean waves, the enemy will be defeated.

Zheng Ting rode Gao Gang and looked down at Qi Jun with the observation team. The smile on his face became more and more obvious.

Zhao Chong took two steps forward and said to Zheng Ting: "Ship Zheng, the time has come, let's issue the order."

Zheng Ting's complexion was rosy, as if he had drunk several glasses of fine wine.

He took a long breath, used all his strength, and shouted loudly: "March Sima!"

Sima Li Chang Yanfu Ce, Fengxiang Army marched, stepped forward and replied loudly: "The last general is here!"

"Send a signal, close the Internet!" After shouting, Zheng Qi felt as if all his strength was gone, and he became much weaker.

The Qi soldiers who were rushing towards Gaogang at the foot of the mountain suddenly felt as if the land under their feet was shaking. Immediately afterwards, they heard a series of violent sounds deafening. Around Gaogang, the earth was collapsing and the heaven and earth were shaking!

Countless fires soared into the sky, and the Qi army was in charge and suffered a catastrophe. Many soldiers were directly brought by the Qin army to the sky and were bombed into the sky by gunpowder buried around Gaogang.

The continuous shock and explosion lasted less than a quarter of an hour, but in the hearts of many Qi soldiers, it felt as long as days and nights.

When the sound of the explosion finally stopped, the soldiers of the Qi army had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief. Before the smoke of gunpowder had dissipated, countless Guanzhong coalition forces had already emerged from all sides, jumped out of the smoke of gunpowders of Shuofang, led by Tang Hongfu, Fengxiang Army General Li Changyan, Li Changfu, Boye Army General Song Wentong and other coalition generals, and rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, rushing the terrified Qi army into pieces!

The Qin army military observation group led by Zhao Chong did not join the battle, but kept guarding Zheng Ting standing on Gaogang and watching the entire battle process.

The armor of the Qin Army Military Observation Group was obviously different from the soldiers in the Guanzhong Allied Forces towns. The Qin Army's armor was shiny half-body steel plate armor. On the bright and green armor, there was a flying eagle spreading wings, flew red flags, and the Qin flag was hidden. Their momentum and their equipment were far superior to other troops. Standing on Gaogang, he was still as motionless as pine.

Today, most of the soldiers of the Qin vassal are professional.

Although the Qin army is only 360,000 active-service Qin army, the Qin army still has a large number of reserve troops, including countless trained militias. When war is needed, the Qin army can pull out 100,000 to 200,000 young militias at any time. In addition, the Qin army also has a large number of military academies and martial arts lecture halls. Among them, the young trainees in the Boy Scouts' academies in various places have a total of nearly 100,000. Thousands of trainees graduated and joined the army every year. These trainees who started to receive military training since childhood will far exceed other recruited soldiers after joining the army.

Among the towns in the world, the Qin army may not be the vassal state with the most soldiers. But it is definitely the most elite, most well-trained and most well-equipped troops. At the same time, the entire military system of the Qin army is the most comprehensive, with the most sufficient reserve officers and reserve soldiers. The reason why the Qin army maintained 360,000 active-service soldiers was not that it could not recruit more, but for more concise.

Compared with the Qi army's casual men, the power of the father-son soldiers, mercenaries, and Qin army systems such as other vassal states are becoming increasingly apparent.

"Mr. Zheng, Shang Ren is finished." Zhao Chong stood beside him and said to Zheng Ting. The battle was in full swing at the foot of the mountain, but they could clearly see that the balance of victory was constantly tilting towards the coalition forces. "At most one hour, the pseudo-Qi Qi will collapse."

Zheng Ting nodded, "The pseudo-Qi army is quite elite. If we fight head-on, our 100,000 coalition forces will at least have to pay one-to-one damage to the 50,000 pseudo-Qi army. But now, with your strange plan and the power of gunpowder, our damage will not be too high in this battle."
