Chapter 611: The Great War (8)

The two thousand light cavalry of the Great Food Army were cut to pieces by the Tang Army's Mo Dao Team in less than ten minutes, and the Mo Dao Team walked all the way, and there was blood and corpses everywhere. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Ziad couldn't help but gasp when he saw this situation, this infantry was simply terrible, and the light cavalry of two thousand people was reimbursed in such a short time?

Ziad took a deep breath and immediately ordered: "Order the heavy cavalry to attack, give me to crush the opponent's infantry phalanx!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency General!"

He Lou Yurun, who was walking at the forefront of the Modao Army, saw a cavalry covered in iron armor rushing from the opposite side, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and he immediately shouted: "Brothers, pay attention, there is a group of difficult bones, all of which are withstood by Lao Tzu, no matter what kind of demons and monsters they are, they will all be cut into two sections by Lao Tzu with one sword!" ”

"Roar, roar, roarβ€”kill, killβ€”"

As this ironclad heavy cavalry rushed over, the entire ground shook violently, and the soldiers of the Modao Army were almost unsteady, and this momentum was much greater than the thousands of light cavalry rushing over.

"Boom" There was a loud bang, and the big ironclad heavy cavalry finally collided with the Tang Jun Mo knife team, and He Lou Yurun waited for the blood-red eyes and shouted: "Kill-"

The Mo knife in his hand was cut down from the oblique top, only to hear the sound of "dang", and the heavy cavalry on the opposite side was knocked down and dismounted, but the war horse did not stop and rushed over to knock He Lou Yurun upside down and hit the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers of the other Modao Army were not as big as He Lou Yurun, their Modao slashed into the body of the Great Food Heavy Cavalry and were bounced off, and the soldiers of the Modao Team in the front row were knocked down by the Iron Cavalry War Horse that was told, and the Great Food Iron Cavalry was crushed from the body of the Mo Dao Team in this way.

Seeing that several rows of brothers and the main general of the Modao team in front of him, He Lou Yurun, were all down, and the deputy general of the Modao team behind immediately took over the command and shouted: "Stop advancing, stick the knife diagonally on the ground to meet the enemy!" ”

The soldiers in the middle and rear of the Mo Knife Team reacted quickly, and immediately did so after hearing the order, so as to form a forest of knives, which soon brought heavy casualties to the iron armor heavy cavalry of the Great Food Army, although the war horse of the Great Food Army was wrapped in iron armor all over its body, but the chest and abdomen were not covered with armor, the iron horse of the Great Food Army rushed over, and its chest and abdomen were directly slashed from the tip of the knife, the belly of the war horse was cut open, the internal organs flowed to the ground, blood splattered out, and the corpse fell to the ground but smashed over the Tang soldiers next to it.

The casualties brought by the sword forest tactics of the Mo Dao Army to the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Great Food Army, when the Mo Dao Army itself was also comfortable, the casualties above were increasing, and the big food heavy armored iron cavalry behind was still rushing over, and the death toll rose directly.

The battle of the Modao army against the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Great Food is tragic, and the battle of the heavy armored iron cavalry with infantry is a rare feat in itself, no one has ever dared to fight the heavy armored iron cavalry with infantry, even if the heavy infantry phalanx of the Roman Empire cannot stop the charging of the heavy armored iron cavalry, and today the Mo Dao Formation of the Mo Dao team of the Tang Army is on par with the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Great Food Army.

The charging speed of the Great Food Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry slowed down, and the two sides were still fighting against each other, and after the soldiers in front of the Mo Dao team died, the soldiers behind immediately stepped forward to fill the gap, and the corpses on the front line of the direct confrontation between the two armies piled up higher and higher.

Gao Xianzhi and Ziad saw this scene on their respective platforms, and they couldn't help but sigh silently: "Both sides lose!" ”

It was really a defeat for both sides, after most of the two thousand Mo Dao team died, the big food heavy armor iron cavalry completely lost its speed and stopped, but the Tang army's Mo knife team couldn't advance, and the Mo knife couldn't cut the heavy armor of the big food army, and the Chinese armies on both sides were consumed here like this, and no one could help anyone.

Gao Xianzhi saw the situation of the Chinese army, and then looked at the two wings, now the two wings are also evenly matched, and the main force in the middle is almost in a stalemate now, he can't help but turn his eyes to the direction of the right wing battalion, hoping that Zhao Hu's right wing cavalry will quickly come over to attack the left and right of the Great Food Army, as long as a little external force, the deadlock can be broken.

Finally, in the expectation of Gao Xianzhi and other officials and generals, the 10,000 Hu cavalry on the right flank finally arrived, Gao Xianzhi was overjoyed and laughed: "Okay, it's really timely!" ”

However, as soon as he spoke, his face changed, and 7,000 of the 10,000 Hu cavalry who came to reinforce him did not rush to the left flank of the Chinese army of the Great Food Army, but came to his own rear army!

Gao Xianzhi was shocked, pointed at the Hu cavalry who rushed over and shouted, "Whose man and horse is this?" Stop them, go and inform Lord Bian to order the rear army to stop them! ”

"Yes, General!" The herald replied, turning and running.

Liang Zai, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, saw this scene and said with a pale face: "That seems to be a Qarluq!" What do they want to do? Do they want to collude with the big cannibals and rebel against my Datang? ”

Gao Xianzhi couldn't keep calm anymore at this time, he jumped like thunder and said, "Is it still a fart to say this at this time?" The key is to block them! ”

Liang Zai remembered Bian Lingcheng's character, and immediately beat a drum in his heart: "General, Lord Bian has never experienced a war, can he lead the rear army to stop the Qarlu people at this moment?" ”

Gao Xianzhi's heart is also up and down, he knows Bian Lingcheng's virtue too well, this is definitely a dead eunuch who is greedy for money and afraid of death, Gao Xianzhi thought in his heart, he must not count on Bian Lingcheng, he looked left and right, and saw Zhao Chongyu, the envoy of Shule Town, and Jia Chongjun, the envoy of the city guard, standing aside, and immediately said to the two: "General Zhao, please lead the Chinese army to march with a thousand cavalry to guard the Shuaitai, General Jia Chongjun, General Ben now orders you to go to the rear army, take over the command of Lord Bian, and lead the rear army to General Ben to block the Qarluq people, If you can stop the Qarluqs, this general will remember your first merit! ”

The two glanced at each other, and immediately hugged their fists to Gao Xianzhi and said, "Don't worry, general, there is a last general waiting here, and you will never let the Qarlu people get close to Shuaitai!" The two of them got off the stage.

Zhao Chongjun is easy to do, the 1,000 guards and cavalry of the Chinese army are near Shuaitai, and there is Gao Xianzhi's general order, he easily took over the military power and began to arrange defenses, but Jia Chongjun ran into trouble.

"Lord Bian, the last general is on the orders of General Gao to take over the command of the rear army!"

When Bian Lingcheng heard this, and then saw the fierce Qarluq people, he was already frightened and turned white, at this time, where was he willing to hand over the military power, he said angrily: "Presumptuous, this rear army was originally under the control of the supervising army."

At this time, a lieutenant rode over and reported to Bian Lingchengyu: "Oh no, Lord Supervisor, we can't resist it, the Qarluq people are like crazy, there are so many people, the brothers are about to be unable to stop it!" Please plan ahead! ”

"What? Can't stop it? Bian Lingcheng's face changed quickly, his eyes flickered, looking at the frightening shouts and killing sounds coming from the side, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Since you can't stop it, then don't block it, pass on Lord Ben's order, the whole army will protect Lord Ben and retreat!" ”

The lieutenant was stupid: "What, retreat?" ”

Bian Lingcheng saw him hesitate, and immediately made a tiger face: "What?" Do you dare to disobey? ”

The lieutenant hurriedly clenched his fists and bent over and said, "The villain doesn't dare!" ”

After speaking, he immediately ordered: "Order, protect Lord Bian to retreat!" ”

Jia Chongqian didn't have time to stop it at all, and when he saw that Bian Lingcheng was about to retreat, he immediately rode his horse to stop him and said: "Lord Bian, you can't retreat at this time, once the rear army retreats, the soldiers on the left and right wings and the middle army will inevitably be in turmoil, and our army will definitely be defeated at that time!" ”

Bian Lingcheng scolded: "What do you know about a little guard?" Even if the rear army does not withdraw, it will not be able to stop the impact of the Qarluqs, and it will soon be defeated. Hurry up and report to General Gao, just say that Lord Ben has withdrawn first, let him withdraw too! ”

"Master Bian, you can't do this, you can't!" No matter how Jia Chongqian shouted and blocked, Bian Lingcheng was determined to retreat, and the rear army did not listen to his command, he was so anxious and furious, but he could only quickly return to Shuaitai with his own soldiers to report to Gao Xianzhi: "General, the big thing is not good, Bian Lingcheng refuses to hand over the military power of the rear army, and let the rear army protect him and retreat!" Once all the soldiers and horses in front of the rear army are withdrawn, the Qarluqs will definitely kill Shuaitai! ”

Gao Xianzhi turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that the rear army was retreating in a hurry, and a part of the Qarluq people continued to pursue the rear army, and the other large part was rushing towards Shuaitai, Zhao Chongyu was taking the last remaining 1,000 cavalry to meet him, but the Qarlu people were menacing, and the strength was almost eight times that of Zhao Chongyu, and the leaders of the troops, Ge Yan, Ge Qutu and others, only used a small number of people to entangle Zhao Chongyu, and the other part bypassed the battle site and surrounded Shuaitai.

The generals of Shuaitai were suddenly horrified, the officials were terrified, and they left Gao Xianzhi and ran to the rear regardless of it, and the pro-soldier captain next to him saw that the situation was critical, and immediately said to Gao Xianzhi: "General, you can't do anything, it's too late if you don't leave!" ”

Gao Xianzhi scolded: "The edge of the thousand cuts, the erection is not enough and the plan!" ”

The captain of the pro-soldier army anxiously persuaded: "General, let's go quickly, and I will settle accounts with that eunuch in the future!" ”

At this time, the Tang Army on the left and right flanks and the Central Army had already discovered that there was a problem behind it, and the morale of the army had been floating, where was the heart to continue fighting? The back road was cut off, no one had the intention of fighting, the Tang army's army was suddenly in chaos, the big food army took the opportunity to attack at this time, the front of the Tang army was defeated and retreated, even more chaotic, the rout has been formed, it is difficult to recover at this time, even if the gods are alive, they are powerless to return to the sky!

Gao Xianzhi sighed, the battle came to this point, he knew that he had been completely defeated, the court would definitely be held responsible, the shame of failure was by no means something Gao Xianzhi could afford, rather than let the court behead him, it was better to die for the country himself, and he could also protect his family!

Thinking of this, Gao Xianzhi immediately drew his sword and was about to kill himself, but the captain of the pro-soldier was shocked, hurriedly pressed his arm, and persuaded bitterly: "The general can't, leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, wouldn't the general let Bian Gelding get away with it?" ”

When Gao Xianzhi heard this, he hesitated for a while, and the intelligence captain immediately commanded a few guards around him: "Quick, help the general down!" ”

Several guards immediately set up Gao Xianzhi and walked under the shuai platform, and when they arrived at the shuai stage, there were already pro-soldiers who moved to the war horse, and all the pro-soldiers immediately escorted Gao Xianzhi to retreat to the east.

On the left flank, Duan Xiushi was covered in blood, with a few arrows stuck in his body, and was escorted by his own soldiers in the middle and retreated to the rear in embarrassment, while the cavalry of the Great Food Army behind was chasing and killing the Tang army.

Seeing the defeat of the Tang army, Ziad laughed on the spot, and ordered: "The whole army pursues and kills the Tang army!" Daoud, you take 5,000 men to hunt down the left-wing Tang Army servant army, Said, you take 5,000 men to hunt down the right-wing Tang Army servant army! The others followed me to hunt down the rout of the main force of the Tang Army! ”

"Yes, sir!"

The nearest town to the east from the place of battle is the city of tax construction, but there are also more than 100 miles, the road is full of routs, the road is narrow, the Tang army is crowded with each other, and the front is blocked, Duan Xiushi and He Lou Yurun each fled here with their own soldiers, He Lou Yurun killed dozens of people one after another before they were able to pass, and the Tang army in the back was still under the pursuit of the big food army, everyone fled to the tax construction city to see, Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng, Liang Zai and others were already here, everyone met silently, the scene was bleak.

After counting, only more than 4,000 people fled to the 20,000 main forces of the Tang army to Shui Jiancheng, and the other 16,000 men and horses were either captured or killed, and there were not many Hu cavalry who fled back, only more than 3,000 people, among which Zhao Hu, Cao Lingzhong, Li Fei Yuanli, Zhao Chongyu and others lost news and disappeared.
