Chapter 199: The Battle on the Riverside (Part II)

Shan Xiongxin did not hesitate any longer, "The whole army retreats the way it came, and the cavalry is broken!" ”

The officers and men of the Wagang Army responded to the order and immediately picked up the wounded brothers on the ground and quickly retreated. Soon, there were only five or six hundred mutilated corpses left in the same place, and more than two hundred seriously injured soldiers who were still howling!

The infantry officers of the Wagang Army quickly retreated, and the five hundred cavalry soldiers slowly rode their horses, escorting them behind, and they stared closely at the eight hundred Allied soldiers who had been closely following three miles away!

Just as the Wagang army retreated past a forest, there was a sudden loud trumpet in the woods, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a cavalry team that looked like more than a thousand people rushed out of the forest, shouting loudly, killing the Wagang army!

The Wagang army was already unstable, and the cavalry in the forest became the last straw that broke the camel's back at this moment, and the soldiers of the Wagang army were frightened and panicked and fled in all directions!

The soldiers fled quickly, and in just half an hour, this Wagang army of thousands of people fell into complete chaos!

Shan Xiongxin had been leading the cavalry in the back to break off, but he couldn't find out all this in time, and by the time he got the report, it was already too late!

"Withdraw!"

Shan Xiong was confident and hateful, looked back at the eight hundred enemy cavalry who were still following closely, and no longer hesitated, leading the cavalry team to gallop away.

The 800 Allied soldiers quickly approached the battlefield, and Wei Chigong immediately divided 500 soldiers to participate in capturing prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield, but he took 300 cavalry soldiers and continued to follow and monitor the evacuated Shan Xiongxin and others.

Half an hour later, the chaotic riverside battlefield returned to calm again, and the fully equipped Wagang Army prisoners were released, and they stood neatly on the riverside tidal flats, in a row, in a column, there were more than 1,000 people!

In front of the team, a wolf smoke was rising, and the general Zhao Hong was looking at a prisoner dressed as a scribe, who was none other than Shan Xiongxin's staff surnamed Scribe.

When the Wagang army was defeated, the scribe surnamed Fang was in the position of the Chinese army, but unfortunately, he was born as a scribe and lacked decisiveness, so that he watched thousands of troops fall into a rapid rout and be powerless, and finally even himself was captured!

On the bank of the river, the fleet that got the wolf smoke signal docked again, Li Jing landed with a team of personal soldiers, and Zhao Hong immediately stepped forward to salute!

"How's the battle going?"

"Report to the general, in this battle, a total of 750 enemy troops were destroyed, 1,800 prisoners, including 300 seriously wounded, in addition, there were about 2,500 enemy soldiers who fled, and the enemy's commander-in-chief, Shan Xiongxin, also led 500 cavalry to successfully escape. 360 officers and men of our army were wounded, of which 70 were seriously wounded. ”

Li Jing nodded, then turned back to his own captain and ordered, "Immediately arrange for the wounded soldiers to be on the ship for treatment!"

"Yes!" The captain of the pro-soldier responded to the order, immediately waved his hand, and led a team of soldiers to arrange.

"Where's General Wei Chi?" Li Jing looked around and asked!

"Report to the general, General Wei Chi is leading six hundred soldiers to the upstream barrage and prepare to destroy the barrage!"

Li Jing nodded and pointed to the scribe surnamed Fang, "Who is this person, has he been interrogated?" ”

"Report to the general, this person's surname is Fang, his name is Yanzao, a native of Qi County, he was the county lieutenant of Songcheng County, and he was the chief of staff of the enemy army, Shan Xiongxin, and served as the left chief of the history in Wagangzhai!"

At this moment, Wei Chigong led 600 cavalry soldiers and rushed back from the upstream river.

Wei Chi Gongfei dismounted and saluted: "Report to the general, the general has successfully completed the task, the upstream barrage has been completely destroyed, and the pontoon bridge fifteen miles away has also been completely burned down!" The river ahead has been opened, and the fleet can continue! ”

"Good!" Li Jing was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Inform the army to board the ship immediately!"

"General, what about these enemy prisoners?" Zhao Hong asked for instructions!

Li Jing pondered for a moment, "The seriously injured will stay, and all the others will be escorted onto the ship!" ”

"Yes!"

After more than half an hour, the fleet set sail again, leaving only hundreds of corpses of Wagang soldiers and more than 300 seriously injured Wagang soldiers lying on the ground!

Half a day later, a cavalry team of more than 4,000 people appeared on the riverside battlefield again, the leading man was eight feet tall, majestic and majestic, on the brown and yellow face, a pair of round eyes were shining, and his appearance was very majestic, this person was Zhai Rang, the lord of Wagangzhai!

Zhai Rang, a native of Weicheng, Dongjun, was the Fa Cao of Dongjun, and was later imprisoned for committing a crime, and was rescued and died in Wagang, and gathered people to revolt in Wagang a few years ago, and established Wagang Village, and since then he has become the strongest leader of the rebel army in the Great Sui!

There were two generals who followed closely behind Zhai Rang on horseback, and the one on the left was Shan Xiongxin, who had abandoned the army and fled before, and at this time, his face was full of black frost!

On the other side was an elegant-looking general, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, about seven and a half feet tall, of moderate stature, not fat or thin, with a fair face and a short beard on his chin.

This person and Shan Xiongxin are fellow villagers, born in Ligu County, Jiyin County, surnamed Xu, famous Shiji, the word Maogong, and the second master of Wagangzhai!

"Big boss, save us! Big boss, save us! Seeing Zhai Rang and others coming, the seriously injured soldiers immediately shouted loudly.

At this time, the weapons, armor and other equipment on their bodies had already been stripped away by the soldiers of the Allied Army, and the same was true of the dead soldiers of the Wagang Army, only a linen shirt with a base lining remained!

Zhai Rang and the others walked over when they heard the sound, Shan Xiongxin had a gloomy face, looked at the corpses not far away, and then looked at the injured soldiers, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter with you?" What about the enemy army? ”

"When we go back to the second house, the enemy army has all boarded the ship and left, and they have taken many brothers with them, who dislike us as wounded and inconvenient, so they take away our helmets and weapons, and leave us here!" A seriously injured general replied in detail by holding on to the pain on his body.

"How many brothers did they take? Do you know who they are? Shan Xiongxin asked with a dark face.

"I don't know! I just heard them call the black charcoal general General Wei Chi, and they took about 1,500 brothers in total, including General Zuo Chang Shifang. ”

The wounded general replied breathlessly, clenched his fists and pleaded: "The big boss, the second boss, the third boss, please save us!"

Zhai Rang looked at the people on the ground, sighed, and waved over a general, "You go and arrange it, the dead are buried on the spot, the wounded are bandaged, and they are brought back!" ”

"Yes!" The general immediately turned around and went down to arrange!

"Who do you think they will be, two virtuous brothers?" Zhai Rang looked at the surface of the Yellow River and asked with a frown.

Shan Xiongxin also looked at the water in the distance and sighed, "I'm not sure, they are fighting the banner of the court, but their combat power is very elite, Xiongxin really can't think of a neighboring county, where there is such a powerful cavalry." ”

Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
