Chapter 675: Killing Liu Fangliang

"General Liu, it's a Mongolian soldier!"

At this moment, the guard next to Liu Fangliang screamed in horror.

Liu Fangliang's face was pale, his mouth was half open, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his head was blank at this time.

Unexpectedly, Tang Jun actually hid a trick......

In such a difficult situation of the battle, Tang Jun was still so calm, and he kept quietly hiding this killing move until he played all the cards in his hand before he released it.

There is no doubt that these 3,000 Mongolian cavalry must have been made up from the tribes that were attached to the Tang army to do business and sell wool, and the mercenaries invited by the Tang army. Damn, but I don't know what benefits the Tang Army gave them, so that they could fight so hard.

It's hateful, Lao Tzu has played eagles all his life, and when he went here today, he was pecked blind by the eagle.

"General, the enemy is outnumbered, what should we do?" The guard asked in a trembling voice, waking up Liu Fangliang, who was in a daze, in an instant.

Liu Fangliang is now facing the most painful choice.

In a practical sense, when all the cards have been played, and you are outnumbered, the best way to deal with it is to quickly escape, so that your life can be saved.

However, if he, as the commander, turns around and runs away at this critical moment in the battle, it is conceivable that the battle formation of the rogues, because the main general will flee, will definitely be demoralized, and even collapse in the whole formation.

And these Mongol cavalry, even if they couldn't catch up with him, could immediately turn their backs on the Liukou army that was in a bitter battle. Rushed by these 3,000 cavalry, those who were in turmoil when the main general fled the army, I am afraid that they will collapse more quickly and completely.

Moreover, as a general of the unified army, even if he can escape from the battlefield and save his life, after he returns, he will have a good death!

You must know that originally in Shanhaiguan, there has been a major rout, losing nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and now if you want to be here, because of your own judgment and decision-making error, and the Tang army wiped out this elite 50,000 soldiers and horses, it is conceivable that Li Zicheng will definitely not give himself life again, but will resolutely use his own knife, thinking that it is the effect of killing chickens and scaring monkeys.

It's just that if you don't run, as soon as these 3,000 cavalry come, your own more than 300 escort cavalry, whose strength is only one-tenth of the enemy's, how can they withstand the impact of the Tang army?

It is almost certain that if the two armies were to fight, the more than 300 escort cavalry, including themselves, would be firmly surrounded by these 3,000 Mongol cavalry, and all of them would be wiped out, and nothing would be left behind.

At this moment, Liu Fangliang regretted it and was extremely annoyed.

If it weren't for the fact that he was eager to avenge those 3,000 rogues, if he hadn't been greedy for merit, failed to clearly judge the situation, and failed to analyze the hidden traps, how could he have ended up in such a situation!

Damn, is Lao Tzu a dead man now?!

Liu Fangliang was at a loss, in a dilemma, the three thousand Mongolian cavalry had already quickly passed the main formation that was fighting fiercely, and Liu Fangliang and the others were getting closer and closer.

At such an urgent moment, Liu Fangliang's mind flashed an idea like a flash of lightning.

No, there is a third option.

That is, immediately Ming Jin ordered the whole army to retreat, so that the whole army would return to its own position to protect itself. In this case, although it is very likely that the sacrifice and loss will be great, but at least, with its own army still having an advantage of nearly twice the advantage, even if the Tang army is strong and able to fight, it really cannot completely defeat itself. In this way, although we can no longer hope to win this battle, we can at least barely protect ourselves and slowly withdraw.

This kind of plan can be said to be the most helpless now, but it is also the most suitable choice.

Liu Fangliang took a long breath, his face immediately showed an awe-inspiring color, and he began to order in a deep voice.

"General Chuan Ben ordered that he immediately call out the gold and recall the sons and daughters who are fighting with the Tang army, so that they will withdraw with all their strength without fear of losses. Then the whole army will form a formation on the spot and face these damned Tang troops together, as long as you fight to the death with this general, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army and win the final victory. Liu Fangliang pulled out his waist knife and loudly cheered up his subordinates.

The flags flew over, and the strange and rapid sound of gold immediately sounded sharply and continuously.

Hearing the sound of gold coming from behind, all the rogues who were concentrating on fighting with all their strength suddenly couldn't believe their ears.

No, how could it be.

At this time when the battle situation is so stalemate, the main general Liu Fangliang actually ordered the whole army to retreat, isn't it crazy?

What the hell is going on?

It's just that the clear and sharp sound of gold is not broken, like a heavy hammer, constantly beating in the hearts of the remaining nearly 40,000 rogue soldiers, making everyone's already low morale like a deflated ball, completely depressed.

Fuck it! What a bird fight!

In such a stalemate, when the victory and defeat are not decided, the queen has to withdraw in a hurry, which is simply to hand over the victory to others, which is simply a suicide!

Besides, now that the two armies are fighting like this, how can their own side, even if they want to retreat immediately, how can they do it easily.

It's just that the military order is ruthless, how can you disobey it.

For a while, the back team of the rogue changed to the front team, and they turned around and retreated, the formation changed greatly, and the order was chaotic.

The nearest rogue cavalry was the first to flee.

They were like a group of wild boars who didn't care about their heads, they had no heart to fight, they fled frantically, regardless of the fierce pursuit of the Tang cavalry, and the continuous stabbing of the Tang army's spearmen behind, a large number of rogue cavalry screamed and kept falling off their horses, and were chased and killed very embarrassed.

After paying a heavy price for casualties, more than 1,600 cavalrymen were finally able to break out of the encirclement and retreat back to their own camp in disarray.

The Liukou cavalry broke away, and the cavalry of the Tang army that was fighting with them was immediately divided into two parts, one was a flying harrier light cavalry, chasing the fleeing Liukou cavalry all the way.

The other part is the Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, these horses and horses are heavily armored, and the steel monsters weighing more than 500 kilograms turn their heads and rush towards the rogue infantry who are retreating one after another.

Such transients have only happened in a very short period of time.

Seeing the instantaneous change in the situation, Empress Liukoucang withdrew, and Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang Army, made a quick decision, and Rieter issued an order for the whole army to attack.

Don't miss out on such a great opportunity!

The spear and shield battle array, which had been deliberately maintained, dispersed in an instant, and a large number of Tang Army spearmen, like tigers out of the mountains, pursued desperately towards the retreating rogues.

A sharp spear stabbed at the rogues who were retreating desperately, and one after another the fleeing rogues fell to the ground and died.

When the Tang Army's spearmen were killed, the more than 1,000 Xuanhu heavy cavalry, like steel tanks, ruthlessly rushed in from both sides, and they were in the Liukou formation that was turning around and retreating chaotically.

Heavily armoured, the Xuanhu Heavy Rider, weighing as much as half a ton, was like a terrifying steel beast, rushing into the unsuspecting and fleeing rogues with a fierce and high-speed attitude, and its impact reached an almost terrifying level.

Countless rogue soldiers were hit by the iron horse and flew like pieces of paper, and after crossing long or short arcs in the air, they fell to the ground with a snap, either dead or disabled.

More rogues were knocked to the ground by the ironclad heavy horseman, and then their heads or stomachs were trampled alive by the thick iron hooves, and a terrible popping sound sounded on the ground.

The incomparable Tang Army's Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, in the screams of the rogues, from the fleeing rogue array, with violence and death, ploughed out a bloody road with blurred flesh and blood, covered with broken limbs and wreckage.

The remaining 30,000-strong rogue infantry all collapsed.

The retreat, which was barely a bit orderly, instantly turned into a goalless escape. They abandoned their weapons, wailed loudly, and even took off their armor as they ran, in order to be able to escape as much as possible in this escape competition.

And the Tang Army's Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, and the thousands of Tang Army spearmen, were like beasts chasing their prey, continuing to bite and hunt them mercilessly.

Seeing that his more than 30,000 soldiers, he was still in retreat, and went to a complete rout, Liu Fangliang's heart was as painful as a knife, but he was already powerless.

I wanted to get lucky, but in the end I lost completely.

He had no choice but to watch the rogue soldiers all over the slopes, slaughtered by the Tang army like pigs and sheep.

At this moment, Liu Fangliang suddenly felt a sense of disillusionment, at this time, he only felt that he was a walking dead with only breathing, and he didn't know what the meaning of his existence was.

At this point in the battle, the defeat was decided, and Liu Fangliang knew that if he continued to resist, he would be powerless and useless.

It's a pity, I wanted to gamble, I wanted to rethink the formation of a battle to protect myself, but now it seems like a very ironic joke.

The lives of the nearly 50,000 rogue soldiers under his command are pitiful, but today, with such a wretched ending, they are coming to the end of their fate.

When Liu Fangliang was at a loss, three thousand Mongolian cavalry finally raised a huge amount of smoke and dust all the way, roaring and rushing to Liu Fangliang's place.

Seeing that these Mongolian cavalry who had worked for the Tang army rushed like Ye Zeng, Liu Fangliang did not hesitate to change his original intention and gave the order for the whole army to retreat immediately.

When Liu Fangliang's escort cavalry encountered an amnesty, they immediately turned their horses' heads, tightly protected Liu Fangliang, and fled quickly.

It's just that their speed, after all, is still a little slower.

Those Mongolian cavalry rushed closer, but they did not immediately rush into pursuit like the Tang cavalry as Liu Fangliang imagined. On the contrary, while maintaining a high speed of pursuit, they immediately took off the bow on their backs, and began to look at Liu Fangliang and the others who were fleeing in front, squeaked their bows and pulled the strings, and shot away as much as they could.

The arrows of the three thousand cavalry were released, and there was a sudden sound, and a black arrow rain instantly floated through the air, whistling across the blue sky, and quickly catching up with Liu Fangliang and others who fled for their lives.

In Liu Fangliang's escort cavalry, there were continuous screams, and the soldiers behind were hit by arrows one after another, and people shouted that the horses fell off their horses neighingly.

Among them, a black arrow passed through the blocking guards and shot at the back of Liu Fangliang's neck with great accuracy, and the sharp arrow leaked out from his front neck, bringing out a large cloud of blood mist.

"General Liu!"

"Cihou!"

When the guards next to him screamed continuously, an unbearable sharp pain instantly passed from the back of Liu Fangliang's neck to his brain. The pain was so intense that he fainted almost of course. He shook his horse and almost fell off his horse, but fortunately the cavalry next to him held him in time.

Liu Fangliang gradually felt that his vision was blurry, he tried to stay conscious, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only let his subordinates guard him tightly, and he accelerated his escape speed, and went all the way.

The Mongol cavalry, who had been chasing closely, saw that they had escaped so quickly, and they couldn't help but curse in Mongolian language in the back, and after firing a rain of arrows in anger, they stopped chasing.

They turned their horses' heads and ran towards the rogue cavalry who were fleeing in a hurry, and together with the light cavalry of the Tang army, the Flying Harriers, they attacked each other, chasing and killing them.

The more than 1,000 rogue cavalry who managed to escape immediately collapsed completely under the joint attack of the Tang army's absolute superiority.

Like the rogue infantry, they fled in all directions without a goal, and the entire formation was completely broken and difficult to contain, only caring about their own hasty escape.

At this point, the entire vast wilderness has become a place for the Tang army to slaughter to its heart's content, and the rogues who have fled all over the slopes are like cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs who are frantically fleeing for their lives, appointing the Tang army to chase and kill and hack to death, and there is no possibility of saving their lives at all.

What's even more terrifying is that in such a scattered rout, even if there were sporadic rogue soldiers who wanted to surrender, they were immediately killed by the red-eyed Tang soldiers, cut or stabbed, and killed on the spot, without mercy.

It's just that the two-legged infantry, how can the four-legged cavalry, in the end, about 13,000 people, were cut off by the Tang cavalry, and they were about to be surrounded and killed.

Of course, this group of people understood their fate, and they knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing in the face of the cold blades of the Tang army approaching more and more, and begging for surrender.

In the end, it was Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang Army, who gave the order to stop the killing, and accepted the surrender of the 13,000 rogues, and the whole battle finally ended.

So far, 50,000 rogue soldiers and horses, only about 5,000 people escaped with their lives, another 13,000 people became prisoners of the Tang army, and the remaining 30,000 people were slaughtered by the Tang army.

The continuous cheers were like rolling spring thunder, resounding through the field.

Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang Army, also had a smile on his face, and he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat north after quickly cleaning up the battlefield, and finally the whole army returned to Jintang City.

And after nearly half an hour of escaping, Liu Fangliang, who was dying, saw Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin standing in front of him.

Having lost blood all the way, his vitality was already extremely weak, he struggled to open his bloody eyes, and before he could open his mouth, he whimpered, fell from his back from the horse, and did not move again.

Faced with Liu Fangliang, who fled back with great effort, but finally died in front of him, Liu Zongmin looked sad and relieved of death, while Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun, had a blue face.

His fists were clenched, his teeth were gritted, and the anger in his eyes was like a blazing fire, which could completely burn and scorch everything in front of him.
