Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 130 Divide and Transform

The siege battle that began at dawn came to an end at noon with the sound of the horn of the Lower Tang army, and the Lower Tang army surrounded the city of Anzhou on all sides, and the Liang Dynasty army also took this opportunity to retreat into the city for repairs.

"Report casualties!"

"Three thousand one hundred and eighteen were killed and one thousand four hundred wounded at the South Gate"

"Two thousand three hundred and twelve were killed and two thousand seven hundred and eight wounded at the East Gate"

"Simon was killed 3,900 and 1,505 wounded"

"Two thousand and one hundred were killed and 1,719 were wounded at the North Gate, and all the adults were martyred......

After Geng Yan, He Yunke and Lu Wenxuan reported back, they were surprised to hear Ou Luyang's words, and King Yu's face changed and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Tang Dynasty was despicable, hidden in the Taoshui, waiting for the opportunity to attack the weakest defense of the West Gate, and the whole adult led the government soldiers to resist with all their might, and finally lost the enemy and died in the country!" Ou Luyang was choked up when he said this.

"The target of Xia Tang is the granary near the West Gate!" King Yu stopped and looked in the direction of the West Gate, there was still black smoke curling, the fire in the granary was only controlled after burning for an hour, but the West Gate was besieged by the Tang Army, and the people in the city could not take water from Taoshui to extinguish the fire, so they could only rely on the wells in the city. In order to prevent the fire from spreading to residential areas, King Yu ordered the demolition of the houses around the granary and allowed the granary to burn.

"General, now that the granary has been burned down and the enemy army has trapped us in the city, the intention of Xia Tang could not be more obvious." Shen Yongnian said: "But Wu Yu's capture is too bold, our military strength is still there, and Suzhou on the south bank of Taoshui can give us a helping hand." ”

"What General Shen said is good, so before Suzhou lends a hand, Wu Yushu will definitely go all out to attack the city and grab the greatest benefits! Pass on my orders: the military doctor is responsible for treating the wounded; Geng Yan, Ou Luyang, and the two armies under General Shen are still holding their respective positions, and in addition, "King Yu paused, and looked in the direction of Panlongji" Han Dao and Rust Che have not sent back news so far, I am afraid that they have encountered obstruction, and they must start the backup plan! General Shen, the granary was burned, and the rations of the soldiers and civilians in Anzhou City must be guaranteed! ”

"General, leave this matter to the last general! It was up to Miao Wei to collect all the existing rations in the city, and at the same time to send a signal to Suzhou. Shen Yongnian said.

"According to General Shen's words, the backup plan has been officially launched!" King Yu suddenly turned around and said to Peng Anze, who had been standing still: "It's time for Xia Tang to see the power of Tunlian!" ”

Wu Yuhou was in the military formation, he looked at the scarred south gate of Anzhou City in front of him, his dark blue pupils were as cold as this winter day in the noon sun, and he was holding the military report that Fan Yu had just delivered, everything was going according to plan. The battle from dawn to noon did cause a lot of losses to the Liang army, but the casualties on his side were not small, and now he ordered the siege of the city, and at the same time made the army retreat ten miles, in order to avoid the range of the feather arrows.

"The Xuanjia Army and the Red Tail Army are really strong forces, but fortunately, the Divine Killing Raiders did not join in, otherwise they would ......." Before Wu Yu finished talking to himself, the south gate of Anzhou suddenly opened!

Rushing out of the gates were chariots, each driven by two horses and a driver, behind him three warriors, two armed with spears and machetes, and one in the middle carrying a quiver. In a short period of time, there have been hundreds of chariots pouring out of the city gate, the front of a chariot has been approaching the Tang army formation, the middle of the two chariots is the commander of the Tunlian Peng Anze, different from the black armor of other soldiers, he is dressed in brown gray, the iron ring on the arm is engraved with a gray wild elephant, this is the symbol of Tunlian, it means that once Tunlian storms up, it will be invincible.

In fact, Tunlian's attack was indeed a surprise to Wu Yu, even if all the previous things were in his own calculations, but the Liang army was able to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the battle was beyond calculation, so that the Tang army failed to organize an effective defense for a while, allowing the Liang army to seize the opportunity. The Liang army on the head of the city and the archers on the chariot suppressed it with feather arrows, and the Tunlian chariot rushed into the enemy line like an angry wild elephant, immediately breaking up the defense line of the Tang army, and at the same time rammed away the stone throwing cart. The left and right soldiers on the chariot stabbed the enemy separately, while the middle one protected the rider with a shield, and all the rider had to do was to control the horses.

On the other hand, the Tang Army, the Chinese Army was composed of infantry, mainly responsible for besieging cities; The left and right armies are cavalry, responsible for entangling the cavalry of the Liang army, and the target of Tunlian's attack is the Chinese army, Peng Anze's task is to fight the marching army formation as much as possible, he waved the corner flag, and the hundred chariots behind him formed a wall to press the enemy.

The soldiers on the chariot fought hard, and when the spear was broken, they were replaced with machetes, and the blades of the machetes were curled and replaced with daggers; When everyone on a chariot was killed, the rider slashed the horse's buttocks with his sword at the last moment of the fall, forcing them to run wild, and used the chariot to crush more enemies.

After experiencing the initial panic, the Lower Tang army began to stabilize its mind and start a counterattack under the rectification of the commander, but unfortunately the infantry had been scattered by the Tunlian, and they could not organize the formation in a short period of time, and all they could do was to fight back: the Lower Tang soldiers fought with spears and bayonets, and even sacrificed themselves to cut down the war horses, some of them became the sword ghosts of the Liang Dynasty soldiers, some were trampled into flesh by the horse's hooves, and some were crushed by the overturned chariots, but they could not retreat, because the commander standing behind them made them more afraid than the enemy, They can only rush forward with their heads, exchanging their bodies for glory and the revitalization of their families.

"Cavalry!" At the same time that Wu Yu ordered the cavalry to fight, the east and west gates of Anzhou City were opened at the same time, and the left imperial guard and the left Wuwei cavalry rushed out again to meet the lower Tang cavalry. However, unlike before, the direction of the two guards' attacks was completely different: the left guard rushed to the Lower Tang Army formation, while the left guard rushed to the north gate of Anzhou City. The left rank guard under He Yunke was obviously more skilled in riding, and the lower Tang cavalry wanted to surround the stall of the Tunlian guard from both sides, but the left rank guard surrounded the lower Tang cavalry from behind.

Tunlianwei charged bravely and powerfully, but there was also an Achilles heel, that is, once they attacked with all their strength, they were unable to defend, and if the enemy outflanked them from behind at this moment, it was extremely difficult for the chariot to turn around, and what awaited them could only be the fate of being slaughtered.

After the start of the war, Wu Yuhou soon discovered this, so he decisively ordered the cavalry to outflank from the rear, but as soon as he moved, the Liang army immediately made countermeasures, and the cavalry of the left guard cut off the rear road of the Tang cavalry at a lightning speed, and a double encirclement battle was inevitable. Wu Yuwei raised his eyes to look at the head of Anzhou City, and the man standing at the head of the city also cast the same gaze.

"Chess opponents!"

He Yunke phoenix winged three-edged spear as soon as the two enemies were strung together, and he ordered his subordinates to seize the opportunity of the enemy's back to him to fight to kill the enemy, for a while, the Xia Tang cavalry was busy killing the Tunlian guard who was back to him, and was attacked from behind by the left guard, and he was busy with it. The blades in the hands of the first group of people in the cavalry of the Lower Tang Dynasty were different from those of ordinary cavalry, and the wolf teeth they made were three sticks, and the three sticks were played and immediately swept off the horses of several left-rank cavalrymen, but those who were cut out of the wounds by the wolf teeth of the three sticks fell to the ground and died after a short time.

"The blade is poisonous!" He Yunke roared angrily, what he hated most in the battlefield for many years was to use poison, "They are handed over to me, you attack with all your might!" He Yunke took more than a dozen personal guards to target these enemies armed with three-section sticks, and sent the rest of the cavalry to the front.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, He Yunke has long set his eyes on one of the thin and tall masked people, the reason why he thinks he is the leader of this group of people is that the barbs on his wolf tooth three-section stick shine not blue but red, there is no doubt that the poison on it must be more toxic, He Yunke secretly pinched a cold sweat.

The yellow corner flag flipped left and right, and the deputy general with the left rank guard inserted between this group of cavalry holding three-section sticks and the Lower Tang Dynasty cavalry, and the twenty personal guards under He Yunke followed the commander to engage this group of three-section sticks in close combat.

The cavalry of the left rank, relying on the advantage of their spears, kept a certain distance from the enemy, and if they could fight too much, they advanced a little further to press; If you are not an opponent, you will step back and always keep your distance from the enemy. He Yunke's triangular spear made the tiger mighty and unpredictable, creating an attack circle around the leader, but he was not in a hurry to attack its vital point, and the thin leader did not move a single half of his upper body, relying on the wolf's tooth three-section stick in his hand to also form a defensive circle around him.

Seeing that he couldn't find the enemy's flaws for a while, He Yunke had an idea, threw off the triangular spear and stabbed the enemy's mount, and the horse's butt was poked out fiercely, and it raised its head and neighed in pain. Seeing that the mount was attacked, the thin leader glared angrily, a slash would take He Yunke's life, as the commander of the left guard, He Yunke's adaptability was good, he not only dodged a killing move and used the gap to attack the horse again, the painful horse jumped on the spot, pulled his legs and wanted to run, if it wasn't for the thin leader to hold the reins, I was afraid that he would have run out of the battle formation at this moment.

Until this time, the thin leader finally saw the purpose of the other party, this person did not intend to fight him head-on at all, but guided the army to separate his troops from the cavalry of the Lower Tang Dynasty, he looked back and saw that the infantry of the Lower Tang Dynasty was being crushed by the army of the Liang Dynasty Tunlian; The Lower Tang cavalry outflanked and controlled the offensive of the Tunlian army from behind; The cavalry of the Liang Dynasty intercepted the rear route of the Tang cavalry, and at the same time isolated their own troops from the main battle formation. "What a trick to 'divide and dissolve'!" He was secretly frightened, but he couldn't help but look at the tent of his own army.
