Chapter 100: Breaking One and Delaying Two

The number of Yue cavalry battalions is not large, but after all, it is cavalry, and most of Li Damu's Black Mountain Army is infantry, and the cavalry is very small, and it is only used by Li Damu's personal guards. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The fifth battalion of the Northern Army is the central army, well-equipped, under the command of Jiang Sheng, all the way out, in Jiang Sheng's words, it is "nailing", in the flank of Li Damu's army, he nailed in fiercely, Li Damu ordered the soldiers of the rear battalion to strictly defend and drag the Yue cavalry battalion, and he saw the opportunity to break through.

Although the number of Montenegrin troops who rushed into the official army camp was more than that of the official army, because it was too concentrated, it was surrounded by the officer regiment, and the archers of the shooting battalion shot dense arrows towards the middle, and the Montenegrin army could not avoid it, and completely became a live target, with heavy casualties, and a small number of soldiers tried to withdraw from the official army camp, but the camp gate had already been mastered by the infantry battalion, and the spears and iron shields blocked their way.

Jiang Sheng led the army into the ranks of Li Damu's rear battalion, causing great damage, but after all, the number was small, and they were soon surrounded by regiments. The 18,000 people left by Li Damu in the rear camp were scattered, and they only hated their father and mother for having two legs and fled in all directions.

Li Damu's team was all bandits, road tyrants, and they were robbing like a swarm, and this kind of regular combat was not successful at all, and within two quarters of an hour, they were killed on their backs.

Dozens of pro-guards protected Li Damu and escaped from the battle, Jiang Sheng pulled out the banner and shouted to chase him out. At this time, more than half of the Montenegrin troops in the large camp had been killed and wounded, and the rest were no longer willing to fight, and they were quickly disarmed and concentrated in the middle of the large camp to be strictly guarded by the soldiers of the infantry battalion.

There were many soldiers in the Yue cavalry battalion who were good at riding and shooting, and Li Damu's personal guards were quickly wiped out, and Li Damu fled desperately on a single horse.

Jiang Sheng said to Zhang Nan beside him: "Li Damu will be handed over to you, don't let me down!" ”

Zhang Nan nodded, whipped the horse's buttocks, and chased after him as if flying, while Jiang Sheng ordered the cavalry battalions to continue to march north and reorganize their formations during the march, because Handan was already in danger.

Zheng Gu agreed with Li Damu that Zheng Gu launched an attack on Handan to attract the main force of the official army, and then Li Damu took the opportunity to storm the official army camp and tried to inflict heavy damage on the official army, but he did not expect their deployment to be discovered by Jiang Sheng.

Previously, on the way back to Yecheng from Changshan, Jiang Sheng saw the chaotic horseshoe prints and messy footprints on the ground, which were obviously divided into two directions, so he traveled day and night, and rushed back to the Yecheng camp in front of Li Da, but Li Damu's surprise attack became an ambush.

At this moment, Handan is still in the hands of the official army, HD County is the seat of Zhao State, the state minister took the lead, standing at the head of the city to organize defense, and the people in the city also spontaneously formed a volunteer army to help defend the city, although there are nearly 40,000 people, but they have not tasted the sweetness, since yesterday's attack, more than 7,000 soldiers have been lost, and HD County is still controlled by the official army.

At this time, Zheng Gu was a gambler, and he also saw that the defense of the county was obviously much weaker, so he urged the team to attack the city repeatedly, causing heavy pressure on the city.

Jiang Sheng was worried about the loss of Handan, so he ordered all the troops to go north to Handan non-stop, but the knights could still support it, but the war horses could not withstand it, Jiang Sheng had to let the knights with poor physical fitness dismount, and let the knights with good physical fitness march quickly with one person and two horses.

When he arrived at the outskirts of Handan, there were less than 3,000 cavalry when he was full, and Jiang Sheng saw that Handan City was still fighting hotly from a distance, so he asked the battalions to take a breath for a while.

At both ends of the table, Zhang Nan rode alone to pursue Li Damu. Li Damu really suffered heavy losses this time, the team of nearly 30,000 people was dumped by the official army, and the more than 10,000 teams left in the rear camp were also killed and turned over, leaving him alone to flee alone, but there was also a Zhang Nan behind him.

Zhang Nan could see that the war horse under Li Damu's crotch was already at the end of the crossbow, so he was not in a hurry, and chased after him in a hurry.

Li Damu wanted to get rid of Zhang Nan, but the war horse was not strong, so he simply turned around and rushed towards Zhang Nan, anyway, one-on-one, it was not a way to be chased like this, so he simply fought him.

Zhang Nan saw that Li Damu suddenly turned his horse's head and rushed towards him, and hurriedly untied the longbow behind him. Li Damu saw that Zhang Nan was going to use a bow and arrow, and he was definitely not as fast as a bow and arrow when he rushed over, so he turned around and ran.

The war horse was already foaming at the mouth, Li Damu swung his knife and slashed the horse's buttocks, the war horse was in pain, and rushed forward.

Zhang Nan's legs clamped the horse's belly, pulled out three arrows from the quiver, put them on the bow, and then used his right hand to pull the two stone bowstrings full, and shot horizontally in the direction of Li Damu, Li Damu heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air behind him, and hurriedly dodged, but he didn't expect that this was three arrows out at once, dodging the left side, but not dodging the right side, the arrow in the middle was in the back of the heart, Li Damu planted the horse, and at the moment when the body leaned sideways, the neck was hit by the arrow on the right side, and he died immediately, fell heavily to the ground, and the war horse ran more than ten steps before falling down.

Zhang Nan swung his knife and beheaded Li Damu and returned to the Yecheng camp.

When those captives saw Zhang Nan carrying Li Damu's head back to the camp, they all stayed honestly. The officers and soldiers all cheered, and the soldiers who were originally dissatisfied with Jiang Shengduo were also admired at this moment, with 30,000 officers and soldiers, and more than 40,000 people who defeated Li Damu, but only more than 400 people were killed and less than 2,000 were wounded, which can be described as a complete victory.

Zhang Nan waited for a long time, but he didn't see Jiang Sheng come back, so he went out to look for it, met the horseless knight who stayed on the way, and was told that Jiang Sheng had gone to relieve the siege of Handan.

Handan is not too far from Yecheng, it only takes two hours to march on horseback, Jiang Sheng arrived in the afternoon, and Zhang Nan arrived at dusk.

Handan City has been beaten into a pot of porridge, the walls of the city have been soaked with blood, and the corpses under the city have been layered on top of each other. The state minister of Zhao (Zhao is a kingdom, and the state minister is equivalent to Taishou) died in battle, and Changshi succeeded the state minister and continued to command the battle.

The battle to the death was unsuccessful, and he wanted to retreat, but after a short rest, Jiang Sheng's cavalry launched an attack, and the Black Mountain Army sacrificed their lives to fight and escaped from the encirclement. The rest of the infantry of the Montenegrin Army, who had no time to escape, mixed up with Jiang Sheng's cavalry.

Seeing that the situation had reversed, Shi Shi, the head of the state minister at the head of Handan, roared and opened the city gate, and the defenders and volunteers in the city covered in blood rushed out and joined the war group outside the city.

The battle lasted until night, and the two armies were still fighting under the white moonlight, and there was already a river of blood and corpses all over the field outside the city of Handan, and they escaped from a hell on earth.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Jiang Sheng led the army into the city to rest and slept until noon the next day. The Prime Minister's Mansion, Shi Yan, brought people to send wine and meat to comfort these soldiers who had been baptized in a bloody battle.

Jiang Sheng was shocked when he saw several wounds on Changshi's body, "Lord Changshi is a real man!" ”

The minister said: "If the general hadn't come to the rescue in time, Zhenzheng Nan would have turned into powder." ”

Speaking unintentionally, the listener was intentional, Jiang Sheng asked, "I don't know the name of the long history?" ”

"The subordinate official is judged, the word is due south, I have seen the general!"
