Chapter 55: The Southwest Campaign [5]
Looking at the army in front of him, which looked like a mess, Feng Mao was angry for a while, and after spurting blood, he fell unconscious.
The ancient guards are a bit similar to modern bodyguards, and their ability to fight on the battlefield may not be good enough, but escorting them to break through is their strength.
The commander of the pro-guard army tore off a military flag beside him on the spot, tore it into strips of cloth and tied the unconscious Feng Mao to his back.
"Let's go!" At the command of the pro-guard army, more than 100 pro-guards responded to the call, forming a torrent that could not be resisted, and in the blink of an eye, they broke out of the encirclement and harvested the lives of a group of barbarian warriors.
Wang Sunqing, who had been watching the direction of the battle, couldn't help but praise in his heart: "What a tiger army." ”
On the avenue in the middle of the city, the guards had already turned into a group of bloodthirsty demon gods, whether it was the people who came to seek refuge or the barbarian warriors who were ordered to come to stop them, they were all ruthlessly slaughtered.
Ahead is the war zone led by Pang Meng, who is standing on the roof with a group of barbarian archers and slaughtering the messy officers and soldiers.
"Stand on the shield!"
"Point shot!"
The two military orders sounded one after the other, and the guards set up shields from their horses, protecting their own vital points and surrounding the commanders.
Sharp arrows were fired, setting off a tinkling sound. The barbarian archers' point shots did not cause much damage to the guards, and more than a hundred horses still galloped on the main road in the city.
"Continue to scatter the messy officers and soldiers, and someone in front will clean them up." Since being scolded by Liu Xiu last time, Pang Meng has understood that everyone has their own mission on the battlefield, and under the premise that the mission is completed, everything is empty.
The battle between Pang Meng and the pro-guard army just now, Gai Yan saw it in his eyes, since it doesn't work to fight quickly, then he will reduce ten meetings with one force.
The avenue in the city is like the poles of yin and yang at this time, while the horse is galloping, and the heart is like water.
1,000 meters, 800 meters, 600 meters, just when the two armies were about to face each other, Gaiyan moved.
With a roar, a board cart that had been prepared for a long time flew out with the turn, smashing the guards on their backs.
"The general is mighty!" The barbarian warriors shouted loudly, and Gai Yan was so cool when he was ruthless, and he was born with the attribute of inspiring the morale of the army.
"Kill!" The big axe swept away, and the horses that had been hit the head fell to the ground with a scream, and Gaiyan's fierce attack frightened Feng Mao's personal guards and stopped their horses from retreating.
There are fierce tigers in front and hungry wolves in the back, and if they can't fight their way out of the encirclement in a short time, the whole army will be destroyed.
"The enemy general will be handed over to me, and you will take the general away." dismissed Feng Mao from himself and handed it over to his subordinates, and the commander of the pro-guard army gritted his teeth knowing that he was not Gaiyan's opponent.
A tiger and a leopard meet two fierce generals, and the sharp axe and the broadsword keep switching between attack and block with the swing.
The commanders are so desperate, and the pro-guards will naturally not be intimidated, and they have brought great oppression to the barbarian warriors with their condescending advantage and their fighting style of forgetting life and death.
"Run!" The two deputy commanders of the pro-guard army seized the gap in the army and shouted in unison, and saw that they had each cut the buttocks of the war horse.
The war horse suffered pain and went on a rampage, and at the same time, it also opened the opportunity for the rest of the guards to start the war horse.
Once the cavalry starts, the infantry will face a severe test, if they can withstand it, they will have the opportunity to counterattack, and if they can't withstand it, they will face slaughter, the result is obvious, the barbarian warriors are afraid, how can the pro-guard army waste this opportunity to exchange their lives, they fight more and more fiercely, and in a very short time, the chain of barbarian warriors who are several times their own will collapse.
The gap opened, and the pro-guard army once again entered a state of destruction and decay, killing the surrounding barbarian warriors to chop melons and vegetables, and unilaterally slaughter.
Seeing Feng Mao fleeing, Gai Yan picked up a sharp axe and forced away the commander of the pro-guard army, but he was entangled by the commander of the pro-guard army who rushed in after him.
"Get out!" In the face of Gaiyan's roar, the commander of the Guards, who was seriously injured and covered in blood, sneered, it is good to be alive, but there is no need to talk nonsense if you can't live.
I used to hear that as long as you shoot fast enough, you can see something even if your head is broken, and the commander of the pro-guard army has personally experienced the truth of this sentence, and he did see the lord Feng Mao who had escaped from the battlefield in the last few seconds before he died.
The war was coming to an end, but the enemy's main general had slipped through the net, which was a great shame, and Gaiyan didn't care whether the barbarian warriors could keep up or not, and rode his horse in pursuit.
Along the way, there were many defeated soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the city, and when they saw Gaiyan coming alone, there were always some soldiers who liked to dream and chose to block Gaiyan, fantasizing that they could get the head of the enemy's main general and go back to exchange for a reward.
Ten people were killed, a hundred people were killed, Gai Yan almost couldn't hold the sharp axe, but the official army routed and the soldiers kept pouring up, and the barbarian warriors appeared one after another around Gai Yan at this time, and those soldiers in the official army who liked to dream were scared and chose to run for their lives again.
From Feng Mao to the title of Pingban general, he experienced two major defeats before and after, the soldiers died six or seven tenths each time, and then even more forcefully expropriated the people's property, taking six or seven out of ten, making the people of Yizhou miserable, all these crimes could have been offset with the victory of the war, but now everything is over.
The holy decree of the dynasty came faster than Feng Mao thought, and the content was even more simple and straightforward: "Take the heavenly prison and wait for it to be issued." ”
Heavenly prison, heavenly prison, the people who went in never came out alive, Feng Mao still collapsed after being mentally prepared, he knelt down in the direction of Chang'an and shouted: "Your Majesty, the old minister's crime is not like this, the crime is not like this." ”
Fighting the Xiongnu, fighting Wusun, and destroying Goguryeo, Wang Mang is the winner in every war, and the southwest barbarians must not lose this one, and the lost face must be found. Wang Mang convened his henchmen to discuss the candidates for the march, and finally the Ning Shi general Lian Dan was the commander again, Yongbu Mu Shixiong was the deputy commander, and 20,000 cavalry from Tianshui and Longxi were recruited, and 100,000 Ding Zhuang and 100,000 Minfu were officials from Guanghan, Bajun, Shujun and Qianwei, totaling 220,000 people and then attacked the southwest barbarians.
Not to mention whether the barbarians in the southwest still have the courage to fight again after receiving the news, Liu Xiu and Wang Sunqing both have a feeling that they are unable to support themselves, and if they continue to fight like this, the barbarians in the southwest will only be boiled alive until they are wiped out.
In the face of this chattering noise, Liu Xiu, who was already upset, flipped the table and shouted angrily: "You are all enough, the master is not a god, there is no way to give you a plan in an instant, if you are willing, you will obediently stay to discuss countermeasures, and if you are unwilling, you will take your own people to hide in the mountains to live, don't be embarrassed here."
