Chapter 386: The Rabble
"Kill, kill, kill—" Noor greeted him with the Whirlwind Eighteen Horsemen.
Nur carried a huge double-edged battle axe, and his two thighs took huge steps and rushed forward like crazy, and the Whirlwind Eighteen Riders who followed behind galloped as fast as they could, but they could only keep a certain distance.
"Boom-" Finally made contact, Nur brandished his battle axe, slashed left and left, and one by one the horse bandits were cut down by him, and five or six horse bandits in a horizontal row were instantly cut down by him, and then five or six horse bandits in the second row were swept off by the axe blade.
There were constantly weapons beckoning to him, but none of the weapons could cut his body, his giant axe kept sweeping and then flipping, and all the horse bandits encountered in front of him were all hacked to death and slashed, like a steel giant beast killing the endless group, killing forward, no one could stop him.
The Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry behind Nur were about to come into contact with the Horse Bandit Cavalry, all of them opened their arms and carried long knives and rushed into the horse bandit cavalry, but all the horse bandit cavalry that passed by any of them were cut in two by the long knives on their hands, and the horse bandit cavalry who rushed from the front were also strung into meat skewers like several spears tied to their horses.
Tall and sturdy horses with 18 whirlwind cavalry, coupled with thick armor with unparalleled defense, any of these 18 whirlwind cavalry can be called steel killing machines, each of them is like a life harvester, on both sides there are constantly horse bandit cavalry being cut in two by the long horizontal knives in their hands, and rows of horse bandit cavalry fall like wheat being cut.
The horse bandit cavalry blocking the front kept crashing into the spear on the whirlwind eighteen warhorses, and was pierced by the spear, and then stayed on the spear and was carried by the war horse to continue to rush forward, and finally the spear pierced too many people, the weight was too large, the spear was not responsible, one was broken, the corpse fell, and then another was broken, and another corpse fell, so, the several spears tied to the whirlwind eighteen horses were all broken, but the whirlwind eighteen horses did not stop charging, The long knives in their hands were still harvesting the lives of the bandit cavalry.
The soldiers of the Tang Army Shenwu Army looked at this whirlwind eighteen cavalry can almost create a result that is difficult for an army to create, and every soldier and general kept gasping, where are the eighteen cavalry, it is clearly eighteen killing machines, after they passed, only the broken corpses and bare war horses were left, and the horse bandits on the war horses were all gone.
Zhao Ziliang saw that the Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry had achieved great results, but the horse bandits had not collapsed, because the horse bandit infantry in the back could not see the situation of the horse bandit cavalry in front at all, and because the Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry rushed too fast, some of the horse bandit cavalry behind could not react at all, and they had already been harvested their lives without time to fear and escape.
"Order, the cavalry will attack from both sides, kill those fish that have slipped through the net after being harvested by the Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry, and after the Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry has completed their task, they will immediately take over the infantry attacking the horse bandits and crush them in one fell swoop!"
"No!" The herald immediately conveyed Zhao Ziliang's order, and the two hundred cavalry on the left and the Shenwu Army cavalry on the right rushed out of the military formation together, meeting the horse bandit cavalry who had missed out of the gap after being harvested by the whirlwind eighteen cavalry, and these missed horse bandit cavalry had already been frightened at this time, when they saw the broken corpses of their own people everywhere in front and back, where did they still have the strength to fight? The hellish scene like Shura scared everyone to turn around and run, only hating their father and mother for having two legs missing.
"Whoosh ······" The cavalry of the Tang army took out their bows and arrows and began to shoot those fish that escaped in all directions, but they remembered Zhao Ziliang's order and did not pursue, and after some horse bandit cavalry fled away, they did not pursue, but rode their horses and followed behind the whirlwind eighteen horsemen to kill them.
The Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry finally completed their task, and they fought their way out from the left and right, leaving the gap for the Tang cavalry behind, while Nur still rushed at the horse bandit infantry with a huge axe in front.
When he saw that the Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry had killed more than half of the three thousand bandit cavalry, Mr. Liang, who was standing on the top of the red rock behind, finally realized that his operation to organize the horse bandits to attack Zhao Ziliang had failed, where did he think that the five thousand horse bandits would be so vulnerable?
Fear, fear instantly spread to the whole body, originally felt very hot, but now he only felt cold, after the three thousand horse bandit cavalry were defeated, they could only get down two thousand horse bandit infantry, these people were dressed in tatters, and the weapons they held were also varied, none of them could be used at all, relying on these two thousand horse bandit infantry to deal with Zhao Ziliang, a fierce general like Zhao Ziliang and a thousand Tang Army? Are you kidding?
Mr. Masked Liang immediately said to his entourage: "Defeated, I can't count on them, quick, let's go down and leave here, if we don't leave, we won't be able to leave!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
More than a dozen entourage, led by Mr. Liang, quickly rode horses and disappeared into the vast Gobi, leaving the 5,000 rabble of horse bandits to Zhao Ziliang and a thousand Tang Army soldiers to mercilessly kill.
The battle lasted less than half an hour, the horse bandits were completely defeated, and the next thing was to chase and kill, at eight o'clock, all the Tang cavalry who went out to chase and kill returned one after another, and the matter of cleaning up the battlefield was handed over to the infantrymen.
Zhao Ziliang sat on a very weathered earthy yellow rock and carefully wiped the chopping knife with a cloth, whether it was at home or on the march, as long as he was free, he did this, taking care of his weapons is a very sacred and important thing, which can make you know enough about it.
At this time, Brehan came over to report to Zhao Ziliang, and scolded very angrily: "General, these horse bandits are extremely poor, except for the more than 2,000 horses and camels that have been collected back and are still valuable, the horse bandits have nothing of value on them, they are all a pile of broken copper and iron, but some leaders have some gold and silver jewelry, whoever captures it will belong to whomever they want, but they have found a lot of food and drinking water, which can support our arrival."
Zhao Ziliang said with a smile after listening to Brehan's report: "A group of horse bandits living in the desert, you still expect them to have anything valuable, forget it!" Send out the scouts, let the men prepare food, and let the soldiers relax and eat something good, but they are not allowed to drink."
"No!"
Three days later, under the guidance of subordinates who were familiar with the terrain, Mr. Masked Liang and more than a dozen retinues arrived at Dunhuang, the seat of Shazhou governance.
Li Hongding, the envoy of Shazhou Thorn History and Doulu Army, is sitting on the Taishi chair with a wine glass in one hand, touching the chest of a delicate woman next to him with the other hand, admiring the wonderful dancing posture of several Hu girls below, two Meiji on the left and right holding a big fan to fan him constantly, Li Hongding's look of enjoyment is really envious of others, in Shazhou, a wild place where there is no grass and sand all day long, only in the Thorn History Mansion can you see this wonderful song and dance.
Li Hongding was looking at it happily, and a guerrilla general in armor walked over quickly with a sword, leaned over beside Li Hongding, leaned over to him, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Li Hongding's face changed when he heard this, his face was uncertain, and it took a long time to wave his hand and drive out all the dancing girls and a few Meiji who served beside him, and then said to the guerrilla general: "You go and invite him in!" Remember, settle the man he brought with him, and keep it from anyone else."
"No!"
Soon, Mr. Liang was brought in, and when he saw Li Hongding, he saw that there was no one left and right, so he took off his mask and saluted Li Hongding: "Liang Zhaowen, a staff member under Li Xiangzao, has seen Lord Thorn Shi!" ”
In a border pass like Hexi, a place of assassination not only manages the people, but also manages the army, that is, the county soldiers, integrating military and political power, and more importantly, this Li Hongding also serves as the ambassador of the Doulu Army, it can be said that he is a one-handed cover of the sky in Shazhou, the only thing that is not good is that the environment in Shazhou is not good and the land is sparsely populated, this kind of bird does not in the place, there are really few people passing by all year round, except for the caravan.
The other party is Li Linfu's staff, Li Hongding is a little afraid to put on too much, after all, Li Linfu's reputation in the court is very ugly, unless he is not worried, as long as he is concerned, he will definitely not be able to escape, he stood up, but he did not believe the identity of the other party at the beginning, and asked: "Mr. Liang, right?" How does this official know that you are Li Xiang's man? If cats and dogs all come to say that he is Li Xiang's person, wouldn't this official have to do anything else? ”
Liang Zhaowen took out a letter from his arms and handed it over and said: "Xia Guan is a small principal of the Ministry of Officials, this is a handwritten letter from the official and Li Xiang, please take a look at it!" ”
Li Hongding took the letter and the official certificate, glanced at it, opened the letter and read it quickly, the letter did not say anything else, only said that Liang Zhaowen was on business abroad, and asked the officials along the way to assist, etc., the payment was Li Linfu, stamped with a private seal.
Li Hongding didn't know if this handwriting was Li Linfu's handwriting, but this seal should be real, he raised his head and asked, "Is there anything that this official can do to help Lord Liang?" ”
Liang Zhaowen said: "Please ask Lord Li to help kill one person, but this person has a thousand soldiers around him!" ”
Li Hongding's face changed when he heard this, his eyes froze, and he spoke for a long time: "Who is he?" ”
"Zhao Ziliang! Now he is escorting the new Texat Shi Ten Khan Ashina Xin with a thousand soldiers, preparing to pass through Mohe Yanqi to Yizhou! ”
"Hahaha·····" Li Hongding laughed, suddenly stopped laughing, stared at Liang Zhaowen and said coldly: "Lord Liang is not joking, right?" Zhao Ziliang is a general of the imperial court, and this trip is to escort Ashina Xin to the Tuqi Shi to take up his post, and you let the official take someone to kill him? In my opinion, you are not lightly ill! ”
"No, no!" Liang Wenzhao shook his head and said with a smile: "As far as the officials know, during Zhao Ziliang's time in Hexi, Lord Li had a lot of festivals with him, and he repeatedly made Lord Li unable to come to the stage. It's not easy to kill Zhao Ziliang, but now it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xia Guan has already planted people in his army, if nothing else, they will lose all the grain and grass after entering Mohe Yanmoraine, and they won't be able to last a few days, if the adults lead the troops to besiege and kill at this time, Zhao Ziliang will be in a catastrophe!
