Chapter 449: Killing the Eight Kings
The fifth more is sent, ask for a monthly ticket to protect the chrysanthemum!
Circumference three missing one.
This is a very powerful killing move in the art of war, deliberately opening up the net, but in fact it is a fatal killing move. Originally, the bandits were naturally afraid of the official army, although most of these thieves had been mixed up for a few years, and they had also attacked counties, but they were only attacking some small counties.
However, the cavalry led by Luo Chengqin was the elite of a hundred battles, and as soon as three thousand light horsemen wearing bright light armor appeared, it was enough to make those bandits tremble to the bones.
Not to mention, these 3,000 light cavalry also played the banner of Qi Guogong and Henan to comfort and arrest the ambassador.
Luo Cheng, who doesn't know this Zhongwu King.
As soon as Luo Cheng's flag appeared, it can be said that none of the bandits still had the heart to resist.
If Luo Cheng surrounded him on all sides, they might still fight to break the net, but Luo Cheng deliberately surrounded three and missing one, so these people didn't care about anything, and just rushed to the gap.
That's what Luo Cheng wants.
It is said that in history, later the Mongolian cavalry played the tactic of encircling three missing one to the extreme, they fought, the favorite is to encircle three missing one, first use light cavalry to encircle and shoot, and then come to heavy cavalry assault, the enemy army is chaotic, after rushing and killing, deliberately let go of a opening, let them run to that opening.
Then the Mongol light cavalry pursued from behind, so that the enemy went from breaking through to fleeing, and finally to route.
Du Yanbing and Wang Yan had already entered the Taishou Mansion and were directing people to occupy the armor arsenal to seize the armor weapons, but suddenly they heard that a large number of officers and soldiers had been killed by light cavalry, and they didn't believe it yet.
I thought it was Yang Xuangan who came a little early.
As a result, when they heard that the flag outside was actually Luo Cheng's general flag, both of them were dumbfounded.
"How is it possible, isn't Luo Cheng in Henan, why did he come to Hebei?"
"Yes, it can't be Luo Cheng, right?"
When the two of them came to the city wall in disbelief, they found that the rebels who were still outside the city had already been in chaos, some were hiding in the city, and some were already fleeing along the gap vacated by Luo Cheng.
"Quick, let the leaders gather the brethren, and we will defend the city!"
Du Yanbing and Wang Yan were both students of Li Mi, and the 8,000-step cavalry led by the two was also carefully selected and strictly trained. Compared with other thieves, they are still more discerning, and they can see Luo Cheng's intentions at once.
This is to first break the morale of the rebels.
The two armies are at war, and morale comes first.
If the army has no will to fight, no matter how many soldiers there are, it will not be able to win.
"I think even if Luo Cheng comes in, it doesn't matter, he is only 3,000 horses, we have 100,000 horses, are you still afraid of him?"
It's just that Wang Yan and the others didn't grasp the thoughts of those anti-kings.
If the plain county town has not been broken, Luo Cheng will come earlier.
If the two armies are facing the enemy head-on, the thieves may still have some confidence in their hearts.
But now, the armies are in a mess, and there are already some guys on the run, so let them gather their troops and horses at this time, in fact, they can't do it themselves.
There are many thieves, but the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, the good and the bad are different, and there is a lack of military discipline.
"It's not good, Ge Qian has already led people away."
Sun Yaxuan, the king of Qi, was sending people to gather the subordinates of Zhenghuan who had robbed, but when he heard that Yan Wang Geqian had already led his troops to run, he panicked at the moment.
"His grandmother's, this Geqian is a fast runner."
"King, Du Shuai said that let's all assemble in Dongcheng, saying that as long as we hold those gaps, we don't have to be afraid of Luo Cheng."
Sun Yaxuan snorted, "Ge Qian has run away, why does Lao Tzu still accompany him here?" There are several big openings in this De'an City, how can it be defended. ”
"King, Du Shuai said that Luo Cheng has 3,000 horses, and we have 100,000 horses."
"Since Luo Cheng is here, how can it be that there are only three thousand horses, these three thousand must be just forwards, and there may be how many large troops are coming behind, no, Ge Qian has run away, let's run too." You can't wait for death here with the surname Du. ”
"The wind is tight, it's!"
Sun Yaxuan called himself the King of Qi, he also started in Henan, but he fled to Hebei only after Zhang Xutuo couldn't stand in Henan, he knew more than others the ferocity of Zhang Xutuo, and he was most afraid of the officers and soldiers in these hometowns.
As soon as he heard that Luo Cheng was coming, he had long lost his fighting spirit.
There was no time to gather all his subordinates, Sun Yaxuan ran away directly with the hundreds of people who were hastily assembled, he didn't bother to care about Du Yanbing's words, he didn't even care about the tens of thousands of subordinates.
Anyway, this is not the first time, Sun Yaxuan also went to Jianghuai once in the north and south of the Yellow River, up and down several times, often encountered a little hard officers and soldiers, and several times he fled with only a few hundred people. Anyway, as long as the green mountains are there, he is not afraid of running out of firewood, as long as he escapes, it won't be long before he can gather tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of horses again.
Yan Wang Geqian ran away.
Sun Yaxuan, the king of Qi, also ran away.
Then Lu Wang He Xiaode took a look, let's run away damn it.
Then the kings of Zhao, Nanyan and even the kings of Jin, Liang, and Zhou also ran together.
Everything was just as Luo Cheng expected, the three were missing one, and the thieves were scrambling to escape from the gap, and no one was willing to stay and fight.
This is also the place where the three are lacking and one is clever, this is a very clever psychological warfare method, everyone thinks that the dead friends will not die in the poor way, anyway, I don't have to fight the official army, I just need to run through the friendly army.
As long as someone is behind the pad, you have a chance to run away.
But they forgot that the lack of one in the circle is not a way for people to run, but a killing move to make them die.
The morale of the thieves was broken, the fighting spirit collapsed, and they rushed to flee.
didn't escape for long, Luo Cheng sent a light horse to chase and kill.
The fierce light cavalry defeated one deserter after another, and they just rushed all the way to kill, and after the defeat, they ignored it and continued the pursuit.
Du Yanbing and Wang Yan originally had 8,000 cavalry, and there could still be a battle in front of them, but after the thieves from all walks of life rushed to flee, it also made his 8,000 soldiers and horses panic.
In the end, even the two of them had to abandon the plain county town they had just beaten with their soldiers and horses and run away.
·······
In the ruined plains county.
Luo Cheng sat in the Taishou Mansion.
"Report!"
"Our department, under the leadership of General Siye, has captured and beheaded the rebellious puppet Qi King Sun Yaxuan!"
"Report, General Luo Cunxiao led us and others to kill Hao Xiaode, the puppet king of Lu!"
"Report, General Du Fuwei captured the puppet Yan King Gao Kaidao!"
"Report, General Luo Shixin beheaded the pseudo-Yan King Geqian!"
"Report, General Zhou Dewei killed the puppet Zhao King Li Deyi!
········
One good news after another came.
"General Fu Gong Yi will be the puppet East China Sea Gong Gao Shida!"
·······
What is this king and that duke, claiming to gather 500,000 troops to attack the plain county, but Luo Cheng only led 3,000 light horsemen, and they were defeated and lost under the plain city, and they rushed to flee.
But most of the anti-kings still couldn't escape the pursuit of the light cavalry, and one after another they were caught up and cut off their heads and sent back to the plains county town to report the victory!
By nightfall, the pursuing generals had finally gathered their troops and returned to the plains.
Pursue for a day, and the harvest is huge.
The generals killed eight anti-kings, thirteen proclaimed princes, countless governors and generals, and captured more than 30,000 anti-thieves.
There were also ten anti-kings, more than 20 anti-gongs, and 50,000 or 60,000 bandits.
"Old Wei!"
Wei Zheng said with a smile, "I have already written the good news, and the document will be sent to the eastern capital Luoyang to stay in the imperial court and the Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County." ”
"Remember to write well, you must write the danger of this battle, explain the vastness of the thieves, and the bravery and desperate efforts of our soldiers."
"Don't worry, you must write this point to the earth-shattering ghosts and gods, kill the eight kings and thirteen princes in a battle, you will definitely shock the world this time."
Luo Cheng is just hehe, what eight kings and thirteen princes, but a group of thieves and bandits. What he was really proud of was that he had destroyed Yang Xuangan's plan, no matter what his plan was, he Luo Cheng's chaotic punch was enough to make Yang Xuangan and Li Mi confused.
