Chapter 557: Defeat Fang Qiong
Fang Qiong's 2,000 cavalry were elite soldiers, well-trained, and equipped with the equipment of the original Taiyuan Prefecture official army, long knives, reed leaf guns, and cowhide armor. Such an army was only shot under the pursuit of the two cavalry of Yang Zhi and Sun An. Fang Qiong said: "The enemy's tactics are strange, we are completely live targets running in front, rushing up to fight." ”
The trumpet sounded, the retreating army turned its horses, the front team became the rear team, the rear team became the front team, and the cavalrymen rushed forward with long knives and spears.
Yang Zhi and Sun An sneered, you want to fight, but you don't want to let you go.
The two teams of cavalry changed their formation, separated, dodged Fang Qiong's backlash formation, and galloped past from both sides. The cavalry archers still released arrows, and the Tian Hu army continued to fall off their horses.
Chasing, can't catch up. Hit, can't hit. It didn't take long for the soldiers to suffer four or five hundred casualties, and if it went on like this, these two thousand cavalry would have to be thrown here, Fang Qiong's heart was dripping blood, this cavalry was the elite of the elite, Tian Hujun did not have many war horses, and every loss was distressing.
"Retreat, retreat with all your might." Fang Qiong gave up the idea of engaging in battle and led the remnants of the army to flee frantically.
The cavalry of Yang Zhi and Sun An slowed down and followed behind unhurriedly.
ran until night, and when it was dark, Fang Qiong didn't dare to set up camp. There are too many chasing soldiers, 3,000 cavalry, against more than 1,000 cavalry, it is not a joke. Fortunately, Yang Zhi and Sun An had to wait for the infantry in front of him, and did not chase after him.
Fang Qiong was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to rest until midnight. The group did not camp either, they found a leeward place to eat and drink, and waited until dawn before they continued to hurry, and just happened to meet Qiao Daoqing, who was acting for the large army.
Qiao Daoqing was taken aback, he knew Fang Qiong's skills, and the five thousand elite soldiers led by Fang Qiong were rare elites in Tian Hu's army.
"General Fang, what's the situation, why did you end up so embarrassed." Qiao Daoqing asked.
Fang Qiong sighed: "I almost couldn't come back, yesterday I met Chao Gai on the way to intercept him, I saw that he had few soldiers, so the infantry rushed up, thinking that capturing Chao Gai alive would be beneficial to the situation." Who knew that their Vulcan spear was so powerful, one shot after another, endlessly, and our soldiers would be sent to death when they went up. More than a thousand of the 3,000 infantry died on the spot, and the rest were taken prisoner. Fang Qiong told Qiao Daoqing in detail about the battle, and Qiao Daoqing also shook his head.
"It seems that we still look down on the Jeju army and return to Taiyuan City as soon as possible." Qiao Daoqing and Fang Qiong merged together, and the brigade slowly retreated, preparing to return to Taiyuan City. If you want to say why Qiao Daoqing and Fang Qiong's 12,000 cavalry are still afraid, this has to talk about the problem of the Jeju army. According to Tian Hu's original plan and the previous practice of the imperial court, it is necessary to send troops to encircle and suppress at least 100,000 soldiers, and it is impossible for 100,000 soldiers and horses to select generals from the point of troops to the reserve of food and salary for half a year. After half a year, Tian Hu's soldiers and horses were almost trained, and most of Qiao Daoqing's 10,000 cavalry were recruited after they started their troops, and they were still in the training period. Originally, he thought that the imperial army that would arrive in half a year would arrive in half a month, and Tian Hu panicked. So it's normal to lose ground one after another.
If you raise troops from somewhere else, you can still be a rogue, and you can go wherever you can get food, but Tianhu is too aggrieved in this place. There are a lot of troops stationed in the east Hebei town, the Daimyo Mansion, and the Jinding Mansion, not to mention the heavy troops of the Jeju Army in the Jingcheng Mountains.
To the west, then don't feel uncomfortable, the famous Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, the hundreds of thousands of Western Army led by Tong Guan, the Western Army fights with the Western Xia all the year round, and its combat effectiveness is extraordinary, so Tian Hu has no way to go west, so he can only be trapped in this acre and three points of land.
Qiao Daoqing shook the dust of the Buddha and said: "This place is not far from Yangquan, it is not complete, let's speed up the march." ”
"What the military advisor said is that the cavalry tactics of the Jeju army are too disgusting, you run him to chase and shoot, and you rush at him to bypass the arrows. It's archery, if I don't fight with you, I'm angry and vomit blood, and I lost hundreds of elite soldiers in vain. ”
The whining horn sounded, the whole army accelerated, and it was only right to return to Taiyuan as soon as possible.
After walking for more than ten miles, a small black dot suddenly appeared on the horizon ahead, followed by countless small black dots.
Qiao Daoqing smiled bitterly and said, "What are you afraid of, I still met the Jeju army." Rise to the occasion. ”
When the two armies meet, it is most taboo to be timid before fighting, so the soldiers' morale will be chaotic. The horns sounded in unison, and Qiao Daoqing and Fang Qiong arranged more than 10,000 cavalry into three squares.
The cavalry on the opposite side came slowly, and one of them rode a giant horned deer, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a seven-star sword, and on both sides were two teams of cavalry lined up on both sides. Shi Bao led the lancers and cavalry archers with relatively little armor, while Qin Ming led the heavily armored cavalry, helmets, masks, iron armor all over their bodies, and iron armor on their horses. The horses are also different from those of Yang Zhi's cavalry battalion, all of them are high-headed horses in Western Xia. Qin Ming was holding a mace, majestic.
Gongsun Sheng made a mockery and said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, Qiao Daoyou, don't come to be harmless." ”
Qiao Daoqing said: "It turned out to be Gongsun Daoyou." ”
"Tian Hu went against the sky, rebelled, and lost his life, why didn't Qiao Daoyou rein in the precipice and turn back." Gongsun Sheng said.
Qiao Daoqing said: "In the Song Dynasty, traitors are in charge, and birds and beasts eat Lu. The government forced the people to rebel, and they had to rebel. If you ask these soldiers, which of these people is not cornered by the government. ”
Gongsun Sheng shook his head helplessly, what Qiao Daoqing said was also the truth, the magistrate knocked on the bones and sucked the marrow, and he couldn't wait to peel the skin of the common people to eat meat and drink blood. The big gate valve does not treat the people as human beings at all, and all taxes and fees are pressed on the people at the grassroots level, and they don't understand this kind of pain and energy at all.
Qiao Daoqing shook the ancient sword and wanted to do it. Gongsun Sheng said: "You and I are both from the Daomen, don't play tricks." Let's fight with real guns, you and I have different positions, and we can't reach a consensus in the short term. ”
"Either way." Qiao Daoqing knew that Gongsun Sheng's spell was very high, and his little illusion was just an axe compared to Gongsun Sheng.
Qiao Daoqing said: "Brothers, the enemy army is in front of you, dare not fight." ”
"Dare, dare, dare." Soldiers shouted a tsunami.
Qin Ming smiled: "This miscellaneous hair is quite powerful, and it is quite good at fooling." ”
Gongsun Sheng coughed, Qin Ming was embarrassed, Gongsun Sheng was also a Taoist priest.
"Battalion Commander Qin, remember my arrangement, if Qiao Daoqing uses illusion, he will splash black dog blood." Gongsun Shengdao.
Qin Ming said: "Look at me, the heavy cavalry has not fought a hard battle since its establishment. ”
Immediately, Qin Ming shook his mace and shouted, "Charge." ”
Originally, I thought it was ordinary heavy cavalry, but who knew that these heavy cavalry, five horses chained together, turned out to be blacksmith chain horses.
Qin Ming took the lead, and the big mace shook in the air.
