Chapter 558 The Battle of Tuohe

At this time, some generals advised Tian Yu to lead his army back to Yang'an and wait for him to recover before thinking of countermeasures. However, Tian Yu understood that this would not work. This decisive battle was the last chance for the rebels. If he missed it, he would probably have to sit back and wait for death.

However, Tian Yu continued to fight even though he was ill, and this move directly became the winner of the Battle of Tuohe River.

In fact, both sides had scruples before the war. The people on the official and army sides were very wary of Tian Yu, because if you look at the past war history, no general on the official and army sides could have an advantage over Tian Yu in terms of performance. Even most people were afraid of Tian Yu.

He was defeated more than once, so before the war started, the government and army even discussed whether to send assassins to assassinate Tian Yu, or use countermeasures to remove him from the battlefield. In short, they wanted to avoid a head-on confrontation with him, but in the end due to various reasons

Unable to implement.

Tian Yu is actually very anxious. On the one hand, there are still many generals who are unwilling to send troops, which makes the situation of the already weak rebels even more unfavorable. On the other hand, Tian Yu's condition is getting worse, especially these few days.

Oh my god, I have vomiting and diarrhea every day, and I have no appetite for anything. No matter how good my physique is, I can't withstand such torture. But at this time, besides himself, Tian Yu can't think of anyone who can replace him, and the final battle will be like this.

The situation broke out with both sides trembling.

Tian Yu had made a clear plan before the war. He knew that the rebels' numbers and morale this time were not as good as those of the official army. The only advantages they had were the fierce fighting power of the main force of the rebels and the wide terrain in the Tuohe River area suitable for cavalry operations.

Therefore, Tian Yu's deployment is very clear. The infantry will contain the main force of the official army, and then the cavalry will outflank the opponent's rear. Finally, they will attack from the front and back, using the impact of the rebels to defeat the opponent at once. If the battle can be like this, there is still hope, but maybe

There is destiny in the world, but Tian Yu's illness broke out not long after the battle started. His legs became weak and it was difficult to get on the horse. Finally, when the generals saw that this was not going to work, they directly killed Tian Yu regardless of what Tian Yu meant.

He was carried back to the camp to rest, and the command of the front line was handed over to Ning Sixiao's sister, Princess Fengyang.

Ning Zeen has many daughters, among whom he favors Princess Fengyang the most because she is not only smart and beautiful, but also likes martial arts and art of war, and is decisive in doing things. Ning Zeen thinks she is the most like him, and even said that if she were a man

She made her the heir, and because she and Ning Sixiao were born from the same mother, they had a good relationship. Princess Fengyang was also very opposed to her brother killing his father to seize the throne. She even raised a knife and planned to go to Ning Sixiao.

Of course, he was stopped by the officials later. Ning Sixiao also apologized to his sister again and again, and bothered many old relatives to come out to persuade her. Princess Fengyang thought that it was a done deal, her father was dead, and she wanted to take a brother with her.

The family is really broken up, and now that the government and army are pressing forward, it is more important to deal with the foreign enemies first, so Princess Fengyang no longer pursues the matter, even because the veteran general of the rebel army is dead and surrendered.

Under the faulty situation, Princess Fengyang was also pushed onto the battlefield. As a partial general, she made many meritorious deeds and is now regarded as a leader among the young up-and-coming generals of the rebel army.

Because Ning Sixiao himself was a usurper, his opponents were very suspicious of civil and military affairs. Princess Fengyang was his biological sister. Although there was some distance between them, it was because Princess Fengyang had a heart of loyalty and filial piety.

Ning Sixiao felt that his sister was trustworthy, so he began to cultivate her intentionally. Tian Yu and others also knew about this, so they recommended her as the acting commander this time. However, Tian Yu was still a little worried because he knew Princess Fengyang.

There is no problem with her ability, but she lacks experience, and because she has never suffered setbacks since she was a child, she is extremely conceited. This is not a good thing for a general. For this reason, Tian Yu specially told her to act according to her original plan and defeated him.

Bearing all the consequences, Princess Fengyang agreed on the surface, but that was not what she thought in her heart.

Like many generals, she felt that Tian Yu's deployment was a big gamble and too risky. Now that the rebels were at a disadvantage in terms of strength and morale, they should fight more steadily. Tian Yu felt that he was also ill, so he was eager to achieve success by using troops. Princess Fengyang

Conceited that he was familiar with the art of war and knew how to deal with this kind of situation, so he actually changed Tian Yu's deployment and acted steadily.

At first, the officers and soldiers were very cautious out of fear of Tian Yu. If they followed Tian Yu's initial plan and attacked in one go, it would be hard to say whether they would win or lose. However, Princess Fengyang's change of strategy gave the officers and soldiers a chance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the officers and soldiers gradually discovered that the rebels' fighting power was meager, and they gradually built up confidence and pressed forward step by step. At this time, the advantages in numbers and morale of the officers and soldiers gradually became apparent, and soon the rebels

It fell into passivity.

Princess Fengyang also realized that the situation was not good at this time. If she persisted to the end and finally led the main force of the rebels to leave the battlefield as quickly as possible, it might not be a huge defeat. However, at this time, her lack of experience in commanding large-scale operations on her own was fully exposed.

Under pressure, she actually planned to go back to Tian Yu's previous strategy and fight to the death with the officers and soldiers. However, the battle situation at this time no longer allowed her to do so. The rebels only organized a slight attack, but were defended by the officers and soldiers and launched a counterattack.

After that, the formation suddenly became chaotic and was quickly divided into several parts. The wise ones fled or surrendered, and some unlucky ones were eventually wiped out on the spot.

When the news came back to the base camp, Tian Yu was lying on the bed resting. He fainted on the spot when he heard about it. People around him rescued him for a long time before Tian Yu slowly woke up. Finally, he let out a long sigh: "Heaven will destroy the Great Netherworld.

Destroy the Great Netherworld."

"Commander, what should we do now?" people around asked at this time.

"Withdraw." Tian Yu thought for a while and said helplessly.

"But the princess and many brothers haven't come back yet."

"We can't take care of them now. How much can we withdraw now?"

When everyone heard what Tian Yu said was true, they cruelly left Princess Fengyang and others who were still on the battlefield and withdrew to Yang'an. This move was undoubtedly cruel, but at the time they were forced to do nothing.

Let’s talk about Luo Tianbao. In this battle, he led his original vanguard force and part of Xue Song’s troops to serve as the left wing of the official army. He had dealt with the rebels for a long time, and he was wary of the opponent’s old trick of cavalry outflanking from the beginning, so the rebels

When he did this, he did not panic and quickly organized a counterattack.

The rebel cavalry had always been a trump card, but this time due to low morale and the fact that its elites had either been consumed in previous battles or were held back by the generals and not sent, their combat effectiveness was not as good as before.

After withstanding the initial offensive, the army quickly gained the upper hand. As soon as Luo Tianbao saw an opportunity, he immediately led his troops to pursue the pursuit. At first, he was more cautious and paid attention to acting with the large troops, but after the battle, Luo Tianbao

When Tianbao saw that the overall situation was decided, he gradually let go. He led Qi Gui, the Shu sisters and more than ten cavalry to rush back and forth, and actually captured the heads of two enemy generals with his own hands. Just as Luo Tianbao was getting ready to kill, he
