Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 109 Interception and Killing Halfway (I)

Nearly 100 miles away on the Panlongji Zhan Ting and Xia Junmao also received the signal to fight, they hibernated for two days and two nights waiting for this moment, a loud whistle spread throughout the Panlongji near the side of Anzhou City on the mountain, the originally silent and deserted mountain suddenly appeared a figure, one by one from the land of the figures, in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain one by one war horses were led out.

"The Cold Knife Guard is here first!" Xia Junmao threw down a sentence and took the lead in taking 20,000 soldiers across the mountain and towards Jinchang City. Panlongji is fifty miles away from Jinchang City, the cavalry of the Cold Sword Guard galloped down from the top of the mountain, under the gallop of the horses under the crotch, Jinchang City was already in sight in the distance after a while, and the Lower Tang Military Camp was also in sight, those gray-black military camps were densely spread outside Jinchang City, blocking all the connections between the city and the outside of the city.

The hour is approaching the hour, it is the time of the Lower Tang Army's breakfast, the logistics troops began to bury the pot to cook, and the soldiers who have finished the night duty are also changing guards with their comrades on morning duty, which can be said to be the weakest time for the defense of the Lower Tang Army. The cold sword guard fell from the sky, and after rolling up a puff of smoke and dust, he broke into the rear of the military camp in an instant, which made the Tang army extremely stunned, and in a short time, those who were sleepy-eyed were cut off their heads, those who wanted to flee before they had time to fight were stabbed through the chest, and those who fell to the ground before they had time to swallow the food were still holding the rice bowl in their hands.

"There is no forgiveness for those who escape!" Fan Yu brandished a half-human long and wide saber and slashed several deserters under his horse, and the chaotic battle situation was immediately under control. "Take up arms and fight back, the enemy is not numerous!"

Fan dragged his horse to meet the enemy, and successively cut down several cold knife guard soldiers, inspired by the general's fighting spirit, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty finally stabilized their mentality and began to pick up weapons to fight back, but Xia Junmao did not intend to give them a chance, he took the lead, and every time the sword in his hand came out, he took the enemy's life.

After Xuan Shaoning's war horse kicked over a fire lamp, he immediately picked up a little spark with his spear and threw it on the tent, and his subordinates immediately followed suit after seeing his captain's approach. Soon, the camp tents began to catch fire one after another, and occasionally some Lower Tang soldiers ran out of the burning tents shouting, while more of the burning tents were empty, allowing them to burn into a fireball, although the Lower Tang Army not far away was indeed fighting fiercely with the Han Dao Guard, but in the face of these empty tents, Xuan Shaoning still faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Be careful!" A spear stabbed under Xuan Shaoning's elbow, and when he turned around, he saw that a soldier from the Tang Dynasty had been pierced in the chest, staggered and fell to the ground.

"Shaoning, what are you thinking!" Duan Lang's face was full of fear of escaping the catastrophe and blaming Xuan Shaoning for being stunned, "I have much more experience in the battlefield than me, how could you be so careless!" If I hadn't thrown the knife in my hand, the enemy would have hurt you! ”

"It was my mistake, thank you, Duan Lang!" Xuan Shaoning was indeed a little afraid, but at the same time he was extremely grateful, this was the first time he fought side by side with Duan Lang, but he didn't expect him to save his life as soon as he came up.

"The battle commander has already rushed over, let's hurry up and destroy these enemies!" The excited Duan Lang didn't notice Xuan Shaoning's doubts at all, and he drove the war horse into the battle group again. Xuan Shaoning looked back at the back, and the puffs of smoke and dust were telling him that the Rusty Chela Guard had arrived.

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?" Xuan Shaoning decided to verify his doubts: "Let's go to more tents and see!" ”

In order to kill the enemy by surprise, Zhan Ting and Xia Junmao discussed that the Han Dao Wei would take the lead, and after all the men and horses went down the mountain, Zhan Ting would lead the Rusty Guards to attack, so that they could not be discovered by the Xia Tang of both sides to the greatest extent, and the later the enemy found himself, the greater the chance of winning this battle.

According to the news of the early scouts, the number of the Xia Tang army besieging Jinchang City was about 30,000, and the surprise attack tactics could get a good start. In this way, the rear road of the main Tang army was cut off, and after that, the front and rear attacks would definitely be able to defeat the main Tang army.

It has been nearly four hours since the siege of the Lower Tang Army, and the battle outside Anzhou City must be stalemate, and the war thunder is constantly whipping the horses with a horsewhip, hurry up, hurry up, the most important factor in the surprise attack is time, the war horse matched by the rusty guard is already a good horse in the Liang Dynasty army, and the distance of fifty miles does not take too much time.

Just as the Rusty Guards were about to arrive at the battle-torn Lower Tang military camp, a strange army appeared in the rear of the Rusty Guards like ghosts, each of them was dressed in silver armor, wearing animal helmets, wielding chain hammers in their hands, as the name suggests, one end of the weapon was held in the hand, and the other end of the thick chain was a hammer the size of a head, and the hammer body was full of star thorns.

These suddenly appeared in the corps, everyone shouted, for fear that the rusty guards in front of them would not be able to find themselves, and when the few people at the tail of the rusty guards turned around, the chain hammer flew out and smashed right in front of them, and they fell off their horses and died on the spot. With the stimulation of blood, these people are even more interested, the war horses under their crotches are also covered with iron armor and faster than the war horses of the Liang Dynasty, taking advantage of this advantage, they frantically launched an attack on the rusty guards in front, and the soldiers at the end of the team suffered many casualties for a while.

Zhan Ting heard the shouting sound from behind, and turned around to see the enemy who cut off his back road, although he couldn't see clearly from some distances, but from these silver armors, it didn't look like the army of the Tang Dynasty, but no matter where the army was, it dared to sneak attack the Rusty Guard, so it was natural to return the color. Zhan Ting ordered to Shi Gong Zhengyuan: "You lead half of the men and horses to deal with these tails!" ”

Shi Gong Zhengyuan received the order and immediately set up the corner flag, and the cavalry corps that had been marching forward in unison immediately separated in a neat and orderly manner, half of the men and horses continued to run forward non-stop, while the other half of the men and horses turned their heads to meet the enemy troops in the rear after leaving a certain distance.

"Kill!" The swift reaction of the Rusty Chets took the enemy forces behind by surprise, but after a brief hesitation, they immediately engaged in the battle under the leadership of the Commander. A new battlefield was opened up between Panlongji and Jinchang City, where one side of the battle wanted to destroy these inexplicable enemies as soon as possible, while the other side wanted to completely wipe out the Liang Dynasty army.

The two sides rushed back and forth, and the rusty guards did not fight separately with one courage, but formed a five-person battle formation in an orderly manner, and the five people cooperated with each other to attack and defend each other, their purpose was to divide the enemy army to the greatest extent, and the decomposition of the enemy army into a separate phalanx was conducive to exerting the power of the five-person array. On the other hand, the enemy army does not have the tactics of rusting and chelating guards, and it is completely a stage for individual performances, and they do not form a helping hand with each other.

Shi Gong Zhengyuan was still quite confident that he could fight a quick battle in the face of such an enemy, and after eliminating an enemy army, he rushed into the center of the enemy army under the protection of the five-man formation behind him and wanted to kill the opponent's commander in one fell swoop. The commander was not difficult to identify, although he was also wearing one-color armor, but the helmet wolf head was not the gray of the cavalry, but as white as the snow that covered the mountains.

Shi Gong Zhengyuan stabbed the man with his spear, although he didn't want to hit it with a single blow, and he also wanted to make the other party panic, but the result was that the white wolf head leaned back slightly and dodged the attack, not only that, but he also threw the chain hammer when he leaned back and directly hit a guard next to Shi Gong Zhengyuan, and the blood splashed from the guard fell to the ground and stained Shi Gong Zhengyuan's armor, and suddenly a familiar feeling arose. The white wolf's head turned sideways over the horse's body, shook the hammer head to force the enemy away for a distance, and then rode the horse towards Shi Gong Zhengyuan, a hammer hit the war horse under its crotch, the war horse neighed in pain, Shi Gong Zhengyuan's center of gravity was immediately unstable, and the white wolf head seized the opportunity to jump up in the air and kick it off the horse.

After only a few moves, Shi Gong Zhengyuan was at a disadvantage, the offensive and defensive front formed by himself and the five-person formation had collapsed, and the remaining four soldiers desperately protected Shi Gong Zhengyuan who had fallen off the horse, temporarily saving his life. You must know that in the battle formation of all the cavalry, once you fall off your horse, you will not only be attacked by the enemy, but also face the trampling of the war horse, and you will lose your life if you are not careful. One of the warriors wanted to pull up Shi Gong Zhengyuan, but just as he stretched out his hand, the chain of the white wolf's head grabbed his throat, and he was thrown far away, and the end can be imagined.

Shi Gong Zhengyuan jumped on the war horse of the sacrificial soldier and re-swung his spear and pierced the foot and neck of the white wolf's warhorse, at the moment when the war horse jumped, Shi Gong Zhengyuan saw the eyes of the white wolf's head, those eyes were fierce and calm, familiar and weird, although the war horse was injured, but the white wolf head was not panicked, he jumped away with the back of the war horse and rode on the back of another unmanned horse, and the original war horse was kicked by him and hit Shi Gong Zhengyuan. Shi Gong Zhengyuan quickly turned the horse's body, although he escaped a catastrophe, but his eyes met the white wolf's head again, and an old picture immediately came out of his mind: It was in the Battle of Yinzhou, this person once laid down a bronze man formation and killed Tong Xin in one fell swoop.
