Chapter 994: Just take care of cleaning up
The wind carried the snow particles in the air, and made a rustling sound against the gray armor, and the cavalry, masked and smashed the horses, and rushed forward in the wind and snow.
It was cold.
But the blood was hot.
Xiang Zhi ran at the forefront, and along the way, their appearance caused too much fear, but they did not encounter any obstacles. Everything was as the eldest lady expected, Li Ze's area, the outer shell was extremely hard and almost indestructible, but the inside was the softest place, and now, with just a slight poke of his own, he could stir it up.
He raised his head excitedly, wanting to raise his head and hiss, after today, his name to someone will definitely appear in the history books.
Shi said: On a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, the general killed Li Ze and Zhenzhou City, and turned the Tang Dynasty into a ruin.
The roar was a roar, but this long roar full of passion had just come out, but it was like a duck that had been choked by the neck, and uh stopped abruptly.
In the distance, on the undulating hills, a black-armored cavalryman watched them.
A Tang cavalry was not enough to catch Xiang Zhi off guard, but the big flag planted next to this knight made him seem to have a deafening thunderclap above his head.
It was a wolf's head with blood at the corners of its mouth and hideous fangs.
Chengde wolf ride!
Pulling the reins violently, the war horse neighed, and ran forward for dozens of steps before stopping.
He looked at the wolf flag fluttering in the wind in the distance in shock and anger, but there was only one question hovering in his mind: Why is the Chengde wolf riding here? Aren't they in Luoyang?
On the hill, Cheng Yongyi stretched out his hand, pulled up the wolf flag on the ground, raised it high, waved it left and right, and then, behind him, one war horse after another appeared in Xiang Zhi's field of vision.
The front, no more, no less, exactly a hundred.
Cheng Yong rode his horse downhill slowly, and hundreds of Chengde wolves rode in turn, and in the process of going downhill, a cone-shaped charging lineup had been formed.
And behind them, more cavalry appeared one by one, and the number would definitely not be less than two thousand.
The Chengde wolf cavalry accelerated slightly, but the Tang cavalry behind them dispersed into a huge arc, faintly encircling Xiang and his party in it.
Obviously, they thought that the Xiang cavalry on the opposite side was even more vulnerable under the impact of the Chengde wolf cavalry, and their main task was to intercept these Xiang cavalry that would be dispersed at that time.
Cheng Yong snapped and closed the visor of his helmet and raised the horse chopping knife in his hand.
With his movements, the ninety-nine wolf riders raised their swords in unison.
There was no shout, only the almost uniform hooves of a hundred horses rumbled in the wind and snow.
Xiang Zhi looked desperately at the Chengde wolf riding that was galloping towards him.
If his men did not know the power of this cavalry, then he knew it. In the battle of Changyuan between the Tang Dynasty and the Liang State that had just ended, the Chengde wolf rode hard to shake Xu Fu's thousand thunder horses, and the result was that the thousand thunder horses of the pseudo-Liang were all wiped out.
Now his only hope is that most of the people in this Chengde wolf cavalry have just been recruited, and their strength will definitely be worse than the original veterans, or this is his only chance.
But what can be?
There should not be a cavalry of the Don Army of this size.
The current Zhenzhou should be extremely empty.
If there is a Tang army, then it is very likely that a second and a third will appear.
If that's the case, then what hope do they have for success?
Even if they can escape from the men of Chengde Wolf Rider, how many days can they survive in Zhenzhou, the core area of Li Ze's rule?
However, the reality no longer allowed him to think about it anymore, except to raise the war horse in his hand and rush forward, he had no second way to choose.
The Chengde wolf rode like a red-hot tongs, easily stabbing into the Xiang cavalry that was surging in front.
Before the knife in the old Xiang Zhi's hand could be raised to the highest point, a cold light surged in front of him, and Cheng Yong slashed down obliquely, accurately cutting off half of his head and half of his body.
The two horses are staggered, and Cheng Yong has become a bloody man.
A hundred swords, like a rolling knife wheel, cut off the Xiang cavalry who were blocking their path like chopping melons and vegetables.
These Xiang soldiers were not afraid of death, because they had already regarded themselves as a dead man, so even in the face of Chengde's wolf ride, they still rushed forward bravely.
But the gap in strength, the huge difference in equipment, can never be bridged by courage.
This is just like the result of countless brave soldiers with broadswords and spears in their hands and riding on war horses to attack the opponent with Maxim machine guns in later generations, except for throwing corpses along the way and blood everywhere, it can not change the actual result.
With a single charge, more than 2,000 Xiang cavalry were cut into two, and on the road that the Chengde wolf rode over, there were broken corpses of men and horses everywhere.
No one who dies can have a complete body.
Chengde wolf cavalry was divided into two, each divided into fifty horses, and after winding a small arc to the left and right, it had already turned around, forming two small attack arrow formations, and once again launched an attack on the other side.
The second assault finally caused the Xiang cavalry to completely disperse.
It's one thing not to be afraid of death.
It's another thing about what's going on.
Especially when you find that no matter how brave you are, you can't change the outcome, and your courage will finally disappear.
Rush outward, avoid the Chengde wolf cavalry, and charge the cavalry that surrounds them, or you can escape a way out.
As for other things, who has the heart to think about it at this time?
As night fell, the battle finally came to an end.
More than 2,000 Xiang cavalry did not survive, and even those cavalry who were wounded and did not die for the time being were mercilessly killed by the Tang army who searched the battlefield.
This is not a serious battlefield, this is a counterinsurgency, this is an assassin who intends to plot against Li Xiang, for these people, naturally there is no need to abide by the battlefield rules of the Tang Army. In addition to the Chengde wolf cavalry, these temporarily recruited cavalry were all from the internal guards and Weiwei Temple, and they naturally hated those who tried to be unfavorable to Li Ze.
Within five miles of Fang Yuan, there were corpses of people and horses everywhere, and on the battlefield in the most center, it was like hell, and it was unbearable to see.
"Cheng General, all annihilated, no one escapes!" A general rode up to Cheng Yong, clenched his fists in return, paused, and continued: "None of them are alive." ”
Cheng Yong stood in the snow, grabbed the snow with his hands, rubbed his bloodstained helmet vigorously, and said, "What do you want to live?" Dead clean. ”
"What do we do next?"
"Return to Zhenzhou City." Cheng Yongdao.
"Here?" The general looked at the hellish scene of Shura: "General Chengda, this is the main transportation route. ”
Cheng Yong said lightly: "If my guess is right, the people of Lingshou County should be about to arrive, and the matter of cleaning up the battlefield will be handed over to them." ”
"Although these two thousand cavalry fought where they came from, but they dared to organize men to chase after two thousand cavalry?" The generals were a little incredulous.
"The Lingshou County Order came out of Wuwei Academy, if he doesn't have the courage and loyalty, then his official will come to an end. You leave a few people here to wait for them, and the rest follow me back to Zhenzhou City. Cheng Yong finally wiped his helmet clean, as for the armor on his body, there is no way now, only when the matter is over can he be completely cleaned.
The Tang cavalry quickly mounted their horses and left with a bang, leaving only a few Tang cavalrymen, looking for some dead branches and leaves all over the ground, and then lit a big fire, while roasting the fire, while waiting for the arrival of the people from Lingshou County.
They didn't wait too long, less than an hour, in the night, a fire dragon appeared in their field of vision, and the people who ran at the forefront were naturally Feng Cheng, the commander of Lingshou County, and the county lieutenants, the officials of Lingshou County.
They still have a horse, and the rest of the people are mostly donkeys, mules, and other animals.
Seeing a civilian official with a few hundred rabble, he dared to come and pursue thousands of Xiang cavalry, and the few internal guards who stayed behind were also very impressed.
Feng Cheng was stunned and grabbed the horse, under the light of the torches, everything he saw in front of him made him almost think that he was in the Nine Hells.
"Lingshou Feng Xianzun?" One of the guards strode forward and arched his hand. "Humble duty, under the orders of General Chengyong, wait here."
"A certain family is Feng Cheng. You just said General Cheng Yong? Feng Cheng turned over and dismounted, strode forward, accidentally stepped on something, suddenly slipped on the ground, fell a mouth and gnawed the ground, and when he looked up, he saw a bloody head staring at two dead fish-like eyes and looking at himself.
Under a burst of nausea, Feng Cheng tried to stand up with both hands, but he didn't know what he grabbed in his two hands, he barely got up and took a look, and he couldn't help but vomit loudly, one of his two hands grabbed a broken hand, and the other was a long intestine with blood paste and stabbing it.
Not only Feng Cheng was vomiting, but most of the people present were vomiting. One by one, they vomited hoarsely, vomited weakly, and most of the guys who did not change their faces were retired soldiers, and they had seen such a scene, but their faces were slightly pale.
Finally, when Feng Cheng was almost vomiting, the internal guard continued: "General Cheng Yong asked me to tell Feng County Commander that the people you brought will be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield here, and as for those things in Zhenzhou City, you don't care." Of course, you also have to send a detachment of men to the Xiang Manor to see what else can be found, and if there is, seal it immediately, and we will send someone to get it later! ”
Feng Cheng nodded again and again with some shame.
What a shame!
