Chapter 131: Defeat of the Liang Army
"Haha! That's not the case with Rotong! "Master Liang is full of ambition for his plan, thinking that he has seen through everything.
Liang Shidu's army was slowly assembled, but the scouts he sent were not slow, and every move of Luo Tong's army was under their surveillance. The Tang army lost those items that were not very valuable, and the news of speeding up the march reached the ears of Liang Shidu at the first time.
Luo Tong is brave, but the number of people who infiltrated the Turks is certainly not large, they are in the Turkic war, although they won, they must also suffer heavy losses, and he now takes the safe withdrawal of Gyeongju as his first priority. After all, no matter how bad the Shuofang army is, there are more than 30,000 soldiers. Although it may not be able to defeat the Tang army, it has the advantage of a large number of people and waiting for work, and there is still great hope for killing a remnant army.
The last time Luo Tong attacked the Turks, he gained a lot and slapped the Turkic Khan King Jieli in the face. For this reason, Jieli Thunder was furious, and now that Luo Tong has succeeded again, it is impossible for Jieli to sit idly by, there must be a large army behind him, and Luo Tong will face the danger of being attacked in two ways.
No matter how fierce the Tang army led by Luo Tong was, in the face of two attacks, there was only one way to destroy. This basic truth, with Luo Tong's wisdom, should be able to see through.
For such a judgment, Liang Shidu was also quite confident, and asked Feng Duan, who replaced Liang Luoren's position and became Shuofang's general.
"General. You immediately order 20,000 soldiers and horses, no, 25,000 soldiers and horses, kill me to Qiwu Mountain, and pursue Luo Tong's army. "Liang Shi gave the battle order as before. No deliberation was made.
A trace of fear flashed in Feng Duan's eyes, he had always been obedient, and when he heard that his opponent was Luo Tong, he couldn't help but say, "This...... Luo Tong is brave and good at fighting, and is famous all over the world. He was able to kill 1560,000 strong Turks with 3,000 lone troops, which was only 25,000 soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that he was not his opponent. β
Liang Shidu didn't think he was afraid to fight Feng Duan. On the contrary, it can be understood that this Luo Tong is too capable of fighting, and he has risen all over the world in just one year. Cheng can be said to have stolen the limelight, no one knows, no one knows, even he is frightened. And his subordinates? There is no life here. Instead, he persuaded with good words: "I didn't let you fight with Luo Tong, just make a show." Luo Tong is alone, with this big victory, he must have suffered heavy losses, you are a Turk is muddy? Luo Tong just wants to bring the loot back to Yanzhou safely, how can he fight us? You just need to lead the soldiers and horses to follow slowly behind, and when they return to Yanzhou, they will retreat. He elaborated on the reason, and Feng Duan suddenly realized that he was just acting in a play.
His confidence was enough all of a sudden, and he shouted his orders. The soldiers gathered and went.
In order not to let the Liang division look down on him, Feng Duan was extremely fast, and in a short period of time, he prepared 25,000 soldiers and went out of the city.
Feng Duan left Shuofang City majestically, and before he had gone ten miles, he conveyed the order, marched slowly, and rushed to Qiwu Mountain at a snail-like speed.
Feng Duan walked in the middle of dealing with it, but in his mind he was thinking about how to go in the future.
Datang's sanctions against Shuofang are too ruthless, and the gossip goes without saying, so that now Shuofang's No. 1 and No. 2 characters are on the verge of turning their faces, and No. 3 has even defected to Datang. At the same time, all the fields in the territory were destroyed by the Tang army's light cavalry, and now the grain reserves in the city are empty, and the soldiers and civilians can only eat some food mixed with porridge, rice and vegetables every day, and most of them are starving, and the morale is so low that you can imagine.
The Tang Dynasty began to implement the grain starvation strategy last year, but because of the initial savings in the city, plus the support of the Turks, and the grain and grass smuggled through black-hearted traders, they barely survived the year. Now that the city's reserves are running out, it may be able to survive the winter by eating up all the rice for seeding. But what about the coming year?
I don't even have rice anymore, what future is there?
Feng Duan is good at drilling camps, but he is not stupid, so how can he not know that Shuo Fang's future is bleak? He didn't want to fight this battle at all, so he didn't put his mind on fighting, and he worried about his future. Just when he was thinking about it, he suddenly "killedββ!!! β
An earth-shattering roar rang out beside him, and the deafening shout whipped up a gust of wind that seemed to burst his eardrums.
Feng Duan hit a spirit, and he was so frightened that he fell off the horse.
"What...... What's the situation? Feng Duan, who was dizzy and dizzy, and finally got up, was black in front of him: his helmet was crooked when he fell off the horse, which just blocked his eyes, and straightened the helmet, and the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded: he saw countless cavalrymen in armor coming out of the hills extending from the Qiwu Mountain, and directly rushed to the side to kill them.
The men were all cavalrymen: the black armor reflected the earthy yellow glow of late autumn, giving them a gold-like glow. In the distance, a high banner is erected in the air, the sun shines through the flag, as if it is burning, and the dragon and phoenix dance on the flag are embroidered with several big characters "Gyeongju Governor Luo".
There was only one governor of Gyeongju in Datang......
"Yes, yes, it's Luo...... Luo Tong ...... This devil. β
Feng Duan exclaimed, frightened, his feet were weak, Fang Gan got up, he almost lay down again, his speech was a little unfavorable, and his voice was unconsciously trembling.
The other party's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was already close.
"Up, up, up! Give Lao Tzu a top. β
Feng Duan was not ready for battle at all, and in a hurry, where was the commander coming, he only knew to let the soldiers go up to block this wave of impact.
At this moment, the advantages and disadvantages of the soldiers, as well as the role of the generals, are reflected. The real strong soldiers are ready for battle at the moment of attack, and as soon as the general's order is issued, they do not go back to consider whether the general's order is correct, and before thinking, they instinctively take the execution of the order first. And an excellent general, in such a situation, must make the most correct judgment and the wisest instructions at the first time, so as to calm the anxiety of the soldiers after the attack.
Obviously, Shuo Fang's army is far from reaching this realm, and although Feng Duan is not good for nothing, he is obviously not rich enough in combat, and he has fought a lot of downwind battles with more wins and fewer wins, and once he encounters such an unexpected situation, he does not know how to deal with it.
The most important thing is Luo Tong, Luo Tong's existence is like a mountain pressing on Feng Duan's chest......
He didn't have the courage to fight against it.
Even the generals are like this, let alone the soldiers.
In addition, the Shuofang army has a fatal shortcoming.
Shuofang's soldiers are accustomed to Commander Liang Luoren, and Liang Luoren can manage the troops quite well, and he can grasp the hearts of the soldiers. And Feng Duanfang had just ascended to the throne, and his foundation was insufficient, and most of the soldiers were not very convinced of him. Especially in the recent shortage of food in Shuofang, Liang Luoren will fight for them to get the greatest benefits, and Feng Duan is obedient, and he will give him as much as Liang Shi gives him, which will cause complaints.
The multiple circumstances were so uneven that not many of Feng Duan's orders were carried out.
This Luo Tong was about to be killed, but no soldiers stepped forward to resist, and he was in a mess.
The two armies fought in one place in an instant.
Blood splattered, and people turned on their backs.
Luo Tong waved his spear, and as soon as he came into contact with the enemy, he killed more than ten people, broke into the enemy formation, and saw that the Shuofang army had no fighting spirit, and shouted: "Only take the head of the thief, and the one who surrenders will not be killed!" β
"Only take the head of the thief, and don't kill the one who descends!" The whole army had already understood, and they shouted loudly in unison, as if there was another scorching thunder in mid-air.
The surrounding soldiers saw that the emperor had rushed to the front, and instinctively wanted to step forward to fight, but this time they heard "only take the head of the thief, and the one who surrenders will not be killed!" The pace of the Shuo soldiers in the Quartet slowed down significantly, and their movements became hesitant.
Looking at the general who was like a god of war under the other party's banner, Feng Duan's heart almost jumped out of his mouth, it was the soul-chasing eye, Bai Sensen's fangs, and the spear that drank blood, in his eyes Luo Tong almost became a monster, watching them get closer and closer, and hearing the shouts against him, he finally couldn't stand the pressure, and turned his horse and fled. His run brought the little morale of the remnants of the Shuofang army, which was already unwilling to fight and demoralized, to the bottom...... They ran away.
