Text: Volume 11, Chapter 1, Section 21 Killing the Two Thieves (3)
Faced with the undoubted battle situation, Liu Liangzuo did not hesitate at all, directly gave up the army that had completely broken in front of him, and led hundreds of family members and elites to flee to the camp, preparing to return to the camp and immediately flee to other places for refuge.
However, the 5,000 Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers who received Guo Yi's order had already been killed at the Yuanmen, and the Iron Cavalry soldiers rushed in formation, directly trampling on the corpses of the enemy and rushing into the camp, completely scattering the tens of thousands of enemy troops blocking the Yuanmen, and at least hundreds of people were trampled into rotten meat by the dense iron hooves.
The surrounding routs were even more frightened when they saw this, but before they could flee elsewhere, they ran head-on into the 5,000 Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers of Guo Yi's subordinate who were killing in formation, and the 30,000 troops of Huang Degong's subordinate who were holding back the fire.
For a time, in the area of Daying's Yuanmen, Guo Yi and Huang Degong joined forces and led more than 35,000 soldiers to launch a bloody massacre against tens of thousands of defeated soldiers.
At the same time, Liu Liangzuo had already fled back to the camp, and prepared to flee with the hundreds of subordinates gathered around him, and everyone gathered the thousands of war horses in the camp together, preparing to escape through the side gate in the north.
At this moment, Liu Liangzuo heard the roar of the iron cavalry charging behind him, and suddenly felt that his blood was surging, his scalp was numb, and he didn't even turn his head, so he roared hoarsely: "Run for your life!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Liangzuo and hundreds of his subordinates rode their horses and fled towards the side gate of the north of the camp.
"The front must be Liu Liangzuo! The soldiers rushed up and killed him! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Five thousand dragon cavalry soldiers responded to the leading garrison with a roar, and together they rode their horses and launched a charge, and after a short pursuit, they caught up with hundreds of enemy troops under Liu Liangzuo's command north of the camp.
It turned out that the side gate of the camp was too narrow, and hundreds of people under Liu Liangzuo's department rode through very slowly, and when the 5,000 Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers arrived, only more than 200 people, including Liu Liangzuo, escaped from here, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all blocked here.
I saw hundreds of people crowded with each other, everyone wanted to escape first, everyone refused to give in to each other, and finally completely blocked this escape passage, and everyone was blocked here by the tiger-like dragon horseman.
The slaughter began!
Although at this time, whether it was 5,000 Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers or hundreds of routed soldiers, everyone had no speed to charge, and could only dismount and fight on foot, but the situation faced by the two sides was very different.
The Dragon Cavalry is not only in absolute superiority in terms of troops, but also the combat power of the soldiers is also above those defeated soldiers; On the other hand, the hundreds of defeated soldiers who have been abandoned by Liu Liangzuo are demoralized and have low combat effectiveness, and they are still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.
On the other hand, those hundreds of routed soldiers have no life at all, and it is only a matter of time before they are slaughtered!
"Kill them all! Three-eyed guns! Above! ”
The leading garrison couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that Liu Liangzuo had already led one or two hundred defeated soldiers to escape first. If Liu Liangzuo escapes in this battle, it will be useless to annihilate no matter how many routs there are!
As a result, the leading garrison of the Longxiang Iron Cavalry roared, and three hundred Iron Cavalry soldiers rushed forward with three-eyed guns in their hands, and in the face-to-face battle, they aimed at the hundreds of routs with a fierce bombardment.
The violent roar shook the hearts of the soldiers who were fighting on both sides, and the soldiers of Long Xiang Iron Cavalry were slightly better, after all, they were already very familiar with firearms. But those routers were different, they were shattered by this ultra-close salvo, and they gave up resistance in an instant, and completely became slaughtered lambs.
In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of rout soldiers were slaughtered, and the leading garrison of the Longxiang Iron Cavalry roared, and led 5,000 Iron Cavalry soldiers to turn over their horses, rushed out from this side gate, and chased in the direction of Liu Liangzuo's remnants in the night!
At the same time, Guo Yi and Huang Degong had already led the main army into the camp and besieged tens of thousands of rout soldiers in the center of the camp.
Guo Yi was very excited when he saw this, and was about to order a siege, but was stopped by Huang Degong.
"General Guo, there is no threat to these routs, I think let's let them live, after all, killing prisoners is ominous."
Guo Yi was just about to refute, but then he thought about it and said secretly: "It seems that Mr. Huang wants to annex the rout troops of Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo!" By the way, when I led the army back here before, General Huang was collecting more than 100,000 defeated troops under Zuo Liangyu, it seems that this General Huang is not an idle person, and he wants to take this opportunity to expand his strength? ”
Thinking of this, Guo Yi couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart: "Hmph! Now that Zhen Guogong has controlled the situation and has led an army of 100,000 to the south, this Huang Zongbing wants to strengthen his strength at this time, this vision is really bad! Anyway, I can't let General Huang take care of these hundreds of thousands of routs for the time being because these routs and Mr. Huang are stiff! ”
So, Guo Yi smiled and said: "What Huang Zongzhen said is very true, since this is the case, then the general will dare to propose that Huang Zongzhen work hard and take care of these hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers." As for Liu Liangzuo, who took advantage of the chaos to escape, the last general led the army to pursue it. ”
Huang Degong was overjoyed when he heard this, so that he could expand his army several times in a short period of time! Although the pressure on money and food will be great after the expansion of the army, this point is insignificant compared to the benefits of supporting the army and respecting itself.
"When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of public soldiers in Zhenguo will defend the northern frontier of the country, and I will lead hundreds of thousands of people to garrison the provinces south of the Yangtze River! With the financial resources of Jiangnan and the hundreds of thousands of troops in my hands, even if I can't be named a marquis, I can be like Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, at ease, and be a carefree emperor! ”
Thinking of this, Huang Degong laughed and saluted Guo Yi and said, "Haha! In this case, it will be a hard trip for General Lao Guo. ”
After that, Guo Yi led the 5,000 Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers of his department to mount their horses and attack, and followed the other 5,000 Iron Cavalry soldiers to the north to pursue them.
Huang Degong commanded the army under his command to concentrate all the more than 100,000 prisoners captured in this battle into the camp, and after being assigned to guard, all of them were detained. In the end, Huang Degong divided the 30,000 troops under his command into three squads, each with 10,000 horses, and took turns to guard the camp.
The next morning, Huang Degong simply organized the 100,000 captives in the camp, and selected 10,000 strong men from the 100,000 captives, all of whom were added to the army under his command.
At this moment, Guo Yi led 10,000 Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers back to the camp.
When Huang Degong heard this, he hurried to meet him, only to see that the hundreds of iron cavalry soldiers around Guo Yi, the leader of the army, were more or less hanging with a few bloody heads, and there was no one alive in the army.
Guo Yi's war horse only had a head, and it was the thief Liu Liangzuo!
Seeing this, Huang Degong first congratulated him, and then said: "General Guo, now the three thieves are left with Liu Zeqing, the bastard, Jiang Yueguang, Liu Zongzhou, and Zhang Shenyan are the three adults who were killed by this thief!" I think it's better for us to hurry up and chase after us! ”
Guo Yi naturally knew that Huang Degong was worried about the soldiers and horses under Liu Zeqing's command, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Huang Zongbing, there are tens of thousands of troops in the east of Tongzhou Town's chief soldier Lu Ying and Lu Zongbing, and the remnants of the army led by Liu Zeqing will not be able to escape." ”
"Then it's time for us to set out of camp, I'm still thinking about going to see the prince of Zhenguo."
"It's good! In that case, let's take a break and head east. ”
An hour later, Guo Yi and Huang Degong escorted more than 100,000 captives out of camp and set off for the Jiangpu ferry to the east.
Long Xiang Iron Cavalry, together with 40,000 troops of Huang Degong's department, a total of 50,000 soldiers escorted more than 100,000 prisoners, meandering forward on the official road, until it spread more than ten miles away.
In the afternoon of this day, the Pegasus newspaper was not collected at night, and Guo Yi and Huang Degong reported that thousands of troops of the Feiyu Battalion A of the Hanwei Army were found in front, and they were rapidly approaching.
Guo Yi said to Huang Degong with a smile when he heard this: "Huang Zongzhen, it seems that Lu Zongzhen has led the army south under the order of Zhen Guogong, and most of the defeated troops under Liu Zeqing have been wiped out. In my opinion, we should slow down the march of the army and let the soldiers take a breather. ”
Huang Degong agreed with a smile on his face when he heard this, but he was very disappointed in his heart. Huang Degong originally thought that he would be able to catch up with Liu Zeqing's subordinates, and when the time came, he would be able to collect the remnants of Liu Zeqing's subordinates, but now it seems that his wish is mostly in vain.
An hour later, Jiang Wentian, the general of the first battalion of the Feiyu battalion, led more than 7,000 soldiers of the first battalion to come and join up with Guo Yi and Huang Degong.
After the three met, they greeted each other, and then Jiang Wentian conveyed the order of Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, to Guo Yi.
When Guo Yi heard this, he immediately said: "Okay, I will immediately lead the Longxiang Iron Cavalry to Jiangpu Ferry to join Lu Zongzhen." ”
At this time, Huang Degong next to him said with a smile: "General Jiang, this town has long wanted to meet Zhenguogong, and this time I also want to lead the army to Jiangpu Ferry to standby, so that I can have the opportunity to meet Zhenguogong." So ......"
Jiang Wentian didn't speak when he heard this, but looked at Guo Yi, and when he saw Guo Yi nodding slightly, he said with a smile: "It's okay, then ask Zongzhen to lead the army to Jiangpu Ferry with me first, and then report this matter to Lu Zongzhen and Zhenguo Gong later." ”
