Chapter 852: Agitation (15)
If you stay, you will either freeze to death or starve to death. If he was taken prisoner, he would be sent by the Tang army to work as coolies in the Western Regions, thousands of miles away, and this was the information obtained by this Liang army.
No one wanted to die, and no one wanted to leave their homeland and go to the Western Regions, so the Liang army did its best to launch a decisive attack on the Tang army in front.
Rush over, and there is still the possibility of returning to your hometown.
Nearly 20,000 Liang troops, of which 3,000 core troops were Cao Bin's Xuanwu army, 5,000 were recruited from Huainan, and the other 10,000 were Wuning soldiers.
They want to go home.
They shouted and rushed to the positions of the Tang army in front, braving the rain of crossbow arrows, launching wave after wave of charge. The front one fell, and the one behind continued to charge with the corpses of their companions.
The position of the Tang Army, like a small boat in the sea, swayed in wave after wave, seemed to be likely to be drowned by the waves at any time.
"General, it's time for you to go!" Jiang Qi rode his horse to the banner of Cao Zi and said to Cao Bin: "The reinforcements of the Tang army are only ten miles away from here. ”
Cao Bin took a deep breath: "Brother Jiang, take care." ”
Jiang Qi smiled slightly and said, "General, let's go, as long as you get away, I can run away." When the time comes, let's see you in Xuzhou! ”
Cao Bin nodded, took the reins of his horse, and more than a hundred guards followed him, quietly heading to the side.
The banner of the Chinese army is still fluttering, and under the banner, a guard who looks like Cao Bin is wearing Cao Bin's armor and standing under it.
"Charge!" Jiang Qi looked at this Xibei and said.
After being silent for a long time, nearly 3,000 cavalrymen all turned over and mounted their horses at this time, first jogging, slowly accelerating, and galloping towards the Tang army in front.
At this time, the trenches, low walls, antlers, horse rejections, and fences in front of the Tang army's position had all been swept away, and the Tang army slowly retreated to the camp.
Although the position outside the camp no longer exists, inside the camp, all kinds of arrangements are still intact. For José, the war has entered its second phase.
Listening to the rumbling hooves and seeing thousands of cavalry galloping forward with the banner of Cao Zi, Jose also turned over and got on his horse, pulled out his broadsword from the ground, pointed his halberd forward, and roared: "Attack!" ”
The thousand five cavalrymen, with a roar, rushed out of the camp and headed forward.
In a few breaths, the two cavalry had collided violently.
At the same time, a cavalry of more than 100 people galloped away on the periphery of the battlefield.
It is said that it is the periphery of the battlefield, it is not that there is no battle, but it is not the core of the attack of both sides, and these more than 100 cavalry still have to face the resistance of the cavalry and infantry of the Tang Army.
Liu Xing is exactly on this line.
As a cavalry corps that penetrated the enemy's ribs from the flanks, Liu Xing's men adhered to the Tang Army's usual style, that is, if they missed a blow, they would leave immediately, and hand over the enemy they had not cleaned up to the remaining partners.
Leaning forward slightly, the bayonet in his hand stabbed forward fiercely with the speed of the horse, and with a bang, the bayonet poked on the opponent's hand shield, and exploded with a bang, abandoned the gun, drew the knife, and cut it down, when it was another sound, the other party Chengran blocked his fatal knife, Liu Xing was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, and continued to run forward. The saber swung and slashed at the next enemy.
Among the enemies, there is always no shortage of brave warriors, Liu Xing didn't think much about it.
Five hundred cavalrymen rushed forward, shot after shot, knife after knife. In an instant, he rushed forward more than a hundred steps, and when he turned around, he was furious.
On the way, many people fell off their horses, and most of these people were actually his subordinates.
In one sprint, he actually lost dozens of horses, and the enemy cavalry that was rushing forward to the infantry lineup suffered much less than his own losses.
At present, the infantry has long since lost a complete lineup, and is using various facilities in the battalion to fight with the enemy's foot soldiers, such a lineup cannot stop the cavalry.
This small group of enemy cavalry has far more combat effectiveness than Liu Xing imagined.
He glanced at the fluttering Caozi banner in the distance, which was now entangled with the Hezi banner.
When he turned back again, he found that the enemy cavalry was breaking through the obstacles in front of him and heading towards the rear camp.
The opponents were not fighting, but fleeing, because in the process of their advance, as long as they were in front of them, whether it was the Tang army or the Liang army, they were all cut down by them.
Wrong! Liu Xing's heart sank.
Suddenly circled the horses and shouted: "The first team and the second team will follow me, and the rest will go to the aid of General He." ”
The cavalry was divided into two, and the two hundred horsemen followed Liu Xing to turn the horse's head and chase after it wildly, while the other two hundred horsemen continued to accelerate and rushed to the center of the battlefield.
Suddenly empty, the last Tang army in front of him was picked up by Cao Bin's spear, he finally rushed out of the battlefield, behind him, tens of thousands of people were still shouting and fighting together, and the more than 100 guards behind him also lost about 30 horses.
After just one glance, Cao Bin turned around, knocked the horse's belly, and accelerated to the front.
He wanted to go back, return to Wuning, and reorganize his forces to stop the next Tang invasion.
"General, someone is chasing you." One of the guards shouted.
"No matter, let's go!" Cao Bin kept speeding forward.
Liu Xing had already confirmed that the small cavalry team running in front of him was absolutely extraordinary, and he had just followed behind this cavalry, seeing them show their combat ability far beyond ordinary cavalry.
Such combat effectiveness can generally only appear in the personal army team of the commander of the army. If all the cavalry of the Liang army were at this level, then it would be impossible for this battle to be fought at this time, and it would be impossible for the Liang army to be blocked by them for so long.
After figuring this out, Liu Xing probably knew who the person who escaped in front of him was.
The golden cicada's plan to get out of its shell.
At this time, the general who commanded the battle under the banner of Cao Zi was definitely not Cao Bin himself.
"Bite them, where is Cao Bin!" Liu Xing roared, destroying the war horse and chasing wildly.
In a matter of moments, they were far away from the battlefield, one after the other, chasing and fleeing, and disappeared from the sight of the others.
Jose, who was covered in blood, plunged directly into the banner of the Liang Army, and the blood-stained broadsword in his hand was raised high and fell like lightning.
"Cao Bin, come and die!" With a single blow of the sword, the last cavalryman in front of him stood in his way, and José laughed and rode towards the sharply armored general who stood with a spear under the banner.
When there was a bang, the knives and guns intersected.
Gun fold!
Guns fly!
The knife flashed again, and its head flew up from his neck.
The sword flashed again, and the Cao character banner broke in two.
José burst into laughter and reached out to grab the head that fell from the sky, "But Erl! ”
Cao Bin is also a world-renowned fierce general, Jose didn't expect that he would actually kill this person with two swords, and he was very proud, it seems that he has been training hard for more than a year, so that his skills are great! When I meet Ren Dagou again, I think I can press him to the ground and beat him up.
Pulling his head and mentioning it in front of him, he decided to take a good look at Cao Bin's face, this guy must be dead.
But the head in his hand and his eyes are closed.
Jose's smile disappeared, his eyes widened and widened, and after a while, he suddenly became angry, and threw the head he was carrying far away, where is Cao Bin, it is clearly a Xibei goods, and when he looks at it, there are four or five points of likeness, but as long as he argues a little, he knows that it is a fake.
"Unplanted cowardice!" José looked around angrily.
The Liang army had already collapsed at this moment, and after the Tang army that came from the other three directions and the Gon navy of Dai Yue joined the battlefield, the end was already doomed.
On the vast snowfield, two groups of cavalry chased and fled, and suddenly a wave of fleeing in front of them separated dozens of people, turned around to meet them, and the two sides were scuffled together.
After half a cup of tea, the fierce battle was divided into winners and losers, and the group of people who turned back to fight were all annihilated, Liu Xing cut the last killer under the horse with a knife, stretched out his hand to hold the opponent's war horse, and shouted: "Take the empty horse and continue to chase!" ”
There are less than thirty people left on the other side, and the two hundred cavalry brought by Liu Xing are still in their early hundreds, and the numerical advantage has become more and more obvious.
The opponent's combat effectiveness is indeed higher than Liu Xing and others, if at the beginning of Liu Xing's pursuit of them, there are more than 70 cavalry Cao Bin to fight to the death, it is not necessarily impossible to defeat the opponent, but unfortunately at this time Cao Bin, who wants to escape, chose the most wrong way, dividing his troops to intercept.
This allowed Liu Xing to gather all his strength to slash and kill these people.
The opponent died in his early forties, but Liu Xing lost seventy or eighty horses, and the ratio of almost one to two made Liu Xing angry.
But after the third time, Liu Xing became more and more confident, because the opponent's performance became weaker and weaker. The physical strength of both sides is almost losing sharply, the only difference is that Liu Xing's side can bring all the empty horses with them every time after winning, and they can constantly change to war horses during the pursuit, so that the war horses can get full rest, but the opponents do not have this condition, and their horsepower is getting weaker and weaker.
Liu Xing felt that before sunset, the other party would be able to become the meat on his felt board.
After another blockade, only a dozen or so of the enemy in front of them were left galloping.
At this time, Liu Xing still maintained the scale of more than 100 of his people, and in this engagement just now, he did not lose a single person, but he killed the enemy.
The cavalry roared away. Once again, tranquility has returned to the snowy fields. Only this time, Liu Xing didn't collect the war horses anymore, because there was no need for them.
A moment later, a piece of snow suddenly bulged, and a man stood up from the ground, clenched his fists and looked in the direction of the cavalry, and whispered: "I will take revenge, I will definitely avenge you." ”
He staggered to the side of a dead cavalryman, grabbed a horse that was arching the knight and tried to get the knight to stand up, rolled over, slapped the horse's stock with his backhand, and galloped away in the other direction.
