The gates of the city were opened, and thousands of people poured out.

The word "Yong" is not an adjective, but a true portrayal of the moment. There is no discipline, pushing and shoving, blocking the door hole, the back can't get out, and the front can't go back.

It only takes fifty cavalry to charge, and the rebels will be defeated, as the Yongning Prison City has no moat.

Wang Yuan did not attack immediately, but waited for all the rebels to leave the city, so as not to scare those behind them back.

More than 400 cavalry had already been arrayed, but the more than 1,000 recruits who had just been reorganized were still out of the camp under the reprimand of the officers. The chaotic appearance is not much better than that of the rebels, and at first glance it is a rabble that has never fought.

Kuai Laosan had a knife in his hand, but he didn't bring the firecracker, because they didn't know how to put it yet.

"Third brother, there are a lot of people on the other side." Zhou Chang beside him looked frightened, and his legs kept trembling when he lined up.

Kuai Laosan was also weak, swallowed his saliva and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Governor Wang is very powerful." ”

"It is not allowed to turn heads to ears, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

Zheng Qianhu Lu Desheng shouted loudly, he also belonged to a member of the elite cavalry, but at this moment he had to stay to lead these miscellaneous soldiers.

Xie Wang, a talented talent who was exiled to Liaodong, although he was also a little afraid, but more excited. He had heard the legend of Wang Erlang's victory in a hundred battles, and he didn't take the rebels in front of him seriously, he just thought that he could take the opportunity to reap the merits of the war and be a good man who would be a marquis in the future.

After waiting for a long time, the rebels finally all left the city.

But only the Chinese army under the command of Gao Hang is slightly more than a little good, and the number does not exceed 2,000. The remaining 10,000 or so rebels, the array is simply unsightly, and it is not as neat as the formation of middle school students when they do radio gymnastics.

Wang Yuan put away the clairvoyant mirror, without the slightest desire to charge, and said to Yuan Da: "You can fight this battle, I can just watch it." ”

Yuan Da muttered, "I don't want to fight either." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Then you pick someone yourself." ”

Yuan Da said to one of the generals beside him: "Lao Li, you go." ”

"Order!" Li Zongjing drew his sword and rushed out, shouting, "Three thousand battalions...... No, the Shenxiao battalion is out of battle. Brothers, this is the first time that the Shenxiao Battalion has fought, so let's raise some spirits, don't let Lao Tzu fall asleep. ”

"Hahahaha!"

More than 400 cavalrymen laughed loudly, completely ignoring the more than 10,000 rebels in front of them.

Their laughter, the recruits in the back row of him were surprised inexplicably, and at the same time, they added confidence in victory, at least Kuai Laosan, Zhou Chang and the others did not tremble with fear anymore.

A few years ago, Li Zongjing was only a hundred households, followed Wang Yuan to fight in the south and the north, and now he has become the commander of Gaizhou Wei. The man who has beaten Turpan, the little Mongolian prince who has beaten Tatar, these chaotic rebels in front of him are a group of local chickens and dogs to be slaughtered in his eyes.

Li Zongjing turned around and asked, "Commander Yuan, why don't you wait for the rebels to line up the formation more neatly?" ”

"Get out!" Yuan Da scolded with a smile.

"Hahahaha."

The cavalry laughed again.

Suddenly, the laughter disappeared because Li Zongjing had already raised his saber.

I saw more than 400 elite horsemen advancing slowly, not hurrying, calm and solemn, and even in the process of marching, they could still keep neat.

To deal with the rebels, you don't need a firecracker.

With more than 100 steps left from the rebel outpost, Li Zongjing suddenly began to accelerate, and accelerated again when he was sixty paces away. The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and although there were only more than 400 people, they rushed out of the momentum of tens of thousands of troops.

There were still forty or fifty paces to go, and the rebel outpost was already in a panic. Twenty or thirty paces away, the rebel outpost suddenly collapsed, throwing down their weapons and fleeing indiscriminately.

"Steady, don't retreat, don't retreat!" Gao Hang shouted in panic.

No one listened to orders, because the rebels had no chain of command, and any orders that Gao Hang was afraid of could not be accurately conveyed at the time of the battle. Those outpost rebels and officers couldn't even read the flag order, and they didn't know what the main general was talking about.

The officer behind Li Zongjing raised his hand and waved it, and the cavalry collectively slowed down their horses. When there were still more than ten paces away from the enemy's formation, more than 400 elite cavalry suddenly changed direction and attacked the rebels' left post diagonally.

Due to the collapse of the outpost, the left outpost was also disrupted by the rout, and now it was charged by cavalry, and it immediately dispersed.

Until this moment, the two armies have not made official contact. But casualties have already been inflicted, all caused by the trampling of the rebels themselves when they fled.

Moreover, the rebels did not place anything as a repelling facility against the cavalry.

After Li Zongjing broke the opponent's outpost and left outpost, he made a detour and rushed straight to the rebels' Chinese army's main position.

"Brother Gao, run!" Zhang Lu, the deputy commander of the rebel army, slipped away, and did not forget to remind him before escaping, which can be regarded as affectionate and righteous.

Gao Hang was shocked and angry: "Run a fart, you haven't started the fight yet, let Lao Tzu go back and resist it!" ”

Zhang Lu cried and said, "Why haven't you started fighting yet?" It's over! ”

In fact, there is no need for Li Zongjing to rush the rebels' main formation, because the rebels' main formation has been swept away by the rout. The chain reaction soon occurred, and the right outpost of the rebels, who was farthest away from Li Zongjing, also collapsed automatically for some reason.

In an instant, tens of thousands of rebels were scattered.

And more than 400 elite horsemen, charging until now, have not fired a single knife or let go of an arrow.

Gao Hang fled into the city surrounded by his relatives, and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, blocking about eight or nine thousand rebels outside the city.

Lu Desheng, who was in charge of commanding the recruits, said calmly: "This kind of bad battle is not interesting to fight. All go with Lao Tzu to catch prisoners, remember not to kill indiscriminately, those who surrender will be spared, and Wang Shilang will keep them to farm and graze. ”

The recruits, who were scared to death before, were in high spirits at this moment, and they shouted and rushed forward with their knives.

Xiucai Xie Wang was also enthusiastic, and the battle process just now refreshed his understanding of military affairs. I finally have some understanding of how those examples of winning more with less in history were fought.

There are only ten regular soldiers in Wanghaitun, and Xie Wang belongs to the eleventh one more, begging the hundred households Xie Rang to bring him over. Although his blood was surging, he still kept his senses, and when he saw the chaos of the friendly troops around him, he immediately shouted: "Wanghaitun's brothers don't run around, don't follow me and don't get separated!" ”

Originally, he was a little dazed, and he only knew that the recruits who were charging indiscriminately, and gradually some people moved closer to Xie Wang.

Moments later, the rebels were in shambles, and the recruits were in shambles. Only Xie Wang's team still maintained a little organization, and more and more people gathered around him, and the recruits from other tun also subconsciously leaned over.

Seeing that there were more than 30 people following him, Xie Wang suddenly stopped again and assigned tasks on the battlefield: "Capture prisoners in groups of five, one command, two capture, and two people tie ropes." A group of brothers and a single brother were assigned to keep prisoners. You, you, you...... And you, you're the team leader...... One group chased to the east, and the second group chased to the north......"

Wang Yuan held the clairvoyant mirror and happened to see Xie Wang's actions.

It's hard to see it if you don't want to, more than a thousand recruits have all run away, only Xie Wang is more orderly.

Wang Yuan smiled and said to Yuan Da: "This person is a bit interesting, if he can be carefully cultivated, he can be a general." ”

Yuan Da was also observing the situation and said, "When I go back, I will get him here and transfer him to my side as a personal soldier." ”

……

City.

Yuanma Temple Mansion, in a partial room.

A rebel hurriedly ran into the room, stupidly watching Ling Xiang not speak.

Ling Xiang smiled: "Defeated, right? ”

The rebel nodded: "Defeated." ”

"Fool, don't let me out yet!" Ling Xiang scolded.

The rebels hesitated.

Ling Xiang said: "I told you earlier, Gao Hang will definitely be defeated, he will have an army of 100,000, and he will definitely be defeated by Wang Erlang." Do you want to live? ”

The rebel knelt down suddenly: "Lord Ling, help!" ”

Ling Xiangzhen said: "If you want to live, just be obedient, and this official can naturally protect you from death." ”

The rebels immediately opened the door, and there were a few people in charge of guarding the door, and they all asked, "Second Brother Yang, how do you get it?" ”

"Listen to Lord Ling." The rebel said.

Ling Xiang said: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and the imperial court will not kill them all. Gao Hang and Zhang Lu are in turmoil, you are all bewitched, as long as the chaos is rectified at this moment, the official will definitely be able to let you live with his life. If you want to live, come with me! ”

Yuan Ma Siqing, who was under house arrest for a month, was like a wreck before, and suddenly showed his fangs at this moment. He took the rebel soldiers who were guarding him, shouted along the way that Gaohang had been defeated, and asked everyone who wanted to live to go with him, and in a short time he gathered hundreds of people.

Moreover, Ling Xiang also took these people and went straight to the south city gate, colliding with the rout soldiers on the way.

There were about two or three thousand people who fled back to the city with Gao Hang. But after entering the city, there was no way to restrain them, and those routs scattered and fled, and there were only four or five hundred people around Gao Hang who blocked the city gate.

"Lord Ling is here, those who descend will not die!"

"Lord Ling is here, those who descend will not die!"

Ling Xiang made people shout all the way, and those routs were panicked and knelt on the side of the road to surrender.

Ling Xiang began to simply reorganize the rout, and with these surrendered routs, he went straight to the main force of the Gaohang rebels at the south gate.

The two sides confronted each other, but neither moved.

Gao Hang scolded: "Ling Xiang Lao'er, you have been stabbed a thousand times, Lao Tzu should kill you." ”

Ling Xiang sneered: "Is it really true that this official is a nest scholar? When this official was suppressing bandits in Jiangxi, you didn't know where to farm! All of them are listened to by the officials, this time only the first evil will be punished, and the rest of the people who will be exempted from the death penalty. As long as the officers who participated in the rebellion could capture and kill Gao Hang and Zhang Lu, they would be spared death. Why are you all stunned, why don't you hurry up? ”

Gao Hang and Zhang Lu were shocked, and when they looked around, they always felt that everyone wanted to kill them.

"Do it!" Ling Xiang shouted angrily.

Suddenly, an officer rose up, and this move led several people, and soon hundreds of people attacked.

Gao Hang and Zhang Lu, the two rebel leaders, didn't even have time to resist, so they were divided into bodies by their cronies. Some people held their thighs, some people clinged to their hands and feet, and they all said that they had captured and killed themselves, crying and asking for atonement for their sins.

Ling Xiang paced slowly, and the rebels retreated.

"Are you convicted?" Ling Xiang asked.

"Spare your life!" The rebels fell to their knees.

Ling Xiang stood with his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Open the city gate." ”
