October 26, nightfall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The rain still hasn't stopped, and it's pouring down. More than 16,000 officers and men of the Beiting Army and the Second Army were already full of food and drink, weapons, armor, war horses, and sweaters for keeping out the cold had all been put on their bodies, and all of them were sitting in the camp tents wearing robes and waiting for orders.

Zhao Ziliang stood in the big tent and spread his arms and let his soldiers drape him, wearing a thick sweater inside the armor, a blanket as a cloak outside the armor, and a robe to protect him from the rain.

Chen Qing walked into the big tent and reported: "Boss, everything is ready, the soldiers can board the ship at any time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang, who was wearing it, said: "Order the rangers and guards to board the ship in order, no one should make a loud noise, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

"Yes!"

An hour later, more than 300 large warships connected by planks and iron cables were full of Tang soldiers and horses, and Zhao Ziliang then boarded the flagship with his own guards and cavalry, and with an order, the boatmen and soldiers began to row desperately.

On the other side of the river, there is a rebel camp, the rebels are worried that the Tang army will attack at any time, so there are people patrolling and sentry on the river day and night, in order not to attract the attention of the rebels on the opposite side, more than 300 large warships did not light up any lights, the sky is dark, the visibility is too low, in order to prevent the warships from colliding with each other on the river and causing fearless casualties, Zhao Ziliang also ordered the boatmen to connect all the more than 300 warships with planks and iron cables, which are stable and will not collide, and because it is raining heavily now, There is no need to worry about the recurrence of things like burning chibi.

The downpour, soybean-sized granular raindrops kept falling from the sky, and the Tang soldiers on the deck of the warship, even if they were wearing a lily coat and a helmet, a small amount of rain could penetrate into the armor inside, but wearing a lily coat was much better than not wearing it.

The opposite bank of the river was also pitch black, and it was raining so heavily that the rebel soldiers who patrolled on weekdays had long since run away, and they didn't know where to hide in the rain to avoid the rain.

The Yellow River is very long, but not wide, only half an hour from the beginning of the departure, more than 300 large warships arrived on the opposite bank, a violent shaking made everyone almost fall, but also told all the Tang soldiers on the warship that they had arrived on the opposite bank!

The soldiers of the Tang Army standing at the front of the warship put thick wooden planks on the river beach to make a springboard, and the soldiers of the Tang Army in the back began to get on their horses, and when the pedals were set up, the Tang cavalry stepped on the pedals and walked to the river beach.

Everything was going on quietly, and the sound of the rain muffled the insignificant sound and the impending cruelty.

The soldiers of the Tang Army rode their horses and trotted up the embankment, and in the hazy night, a large area of rebel camp tents was stationed under the embankment.

Zhao Ziliang and his personal guards also rode up to the embankment, and after looking at the vague rebel camp tent below, a camp tent in the rebel camp shouted: "Who is on the embankment?" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately took out his bow and arrows and pulled the string and shot out, and soon heard a miserable scream, he put away his bow and arrows and took out the horse lance and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, take the team as the combat unit, kill-"

"Kill—"

The cavalry of the Tang Army, who stood on the embankment several miles long, rode their horses and rushed down to the rebel camp at the foot of the embankment under the leadership of their respective officers, from silent to suddenly like a huge and incomparable momentum like thunder, only in the blink of an eye.

The rebel camp was too close to the river embankment, almost camping at the foot of the river embankment, and Zhao Ziliang rushed into the rebel camp with more than 16,000 rangers and escort cavalry in only two or three breaths.

"Kill-" The Tang generals let out a loud shout of killing, rushed into the rebel camp and overturned the camp tent with the long weapons in their hands, and the rebel soldiers who were still sleeping in the camp tent were covered by the collapsed camp tent together, and the Tang army's war horses trampled on the fallen camp tent, and the rebel soldiers who were pressed to the ground let out screams one after another.

The large-scale massacre officially began, the cavalry of the Tang Army soon all rushed into the rebel camp and began to kill, the rebel soldiers had no time to escape, let alone assemble resistance, one by one the rebels were either trampled to death by war horses, or hacked to death, the corpses kept falling to the ground, and the blood flowed non-stop.

The rebel soldiers in the rebel camp tent farthest from the river embankment still found out the situation, they didn't have time to get their weapons and began to flee, everyone understood that no one was powerless at this time, the fiasco was still the best outcome, and it was normal for the whole army to be annihilated, and only by escaping could they survive at this time.

This raid was too smooth, no one in the rebels would think that the Tang army would cross the river at such a time to raid, others did not have any preparations, the rebel general Zhu Xicai immediately ran out of the camp after finding out that he was attacked by the Tang cavalry, untied the reins of the war horse in front of the camp tent, and immediately got on his horse and galloped to the north.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Xicai understands very well that if he can escape, he will have God's mercy, and if he wants to gather his troops and horses and flee again in this situation, it is tantamount to looking for death.

After killing a group of rebels, the other rebels all knelt down and surrendered, no one had the courage to resist in this situation, Zhao Ziliang saw that the situation had stabilized, touched the blood on his face and shouted: "Herald, order the escort to stay and clean up the battlefield, collect and watch the prisoners, and stay in place to meet the follow-up of the army!" Wanderer, follow me north to pursue the fleeing rebels! ”

"No!"

The 13,000 soldiers of the Youyi Army followed Zhao Ziliang to continue to pursue some fleeing rebels north, while the commander of the escort army, Er Zhu, led the 3,000 guards to stay behind to collect the surrendered rebels, first searched for all their weapons, and then ordered them to rebuild their tents for the army to shelter from the rain and rest.

Many of the rebels who fled north were quickly caught up by the guerrilla army led by Zhao Ziliang, but there were still a small number of people who quickly fled towards Dunqiu City on war horses, led by Zhu Xicai, a general under Li Huaixian.

Zhu Xicai, who gave up his life and ran wildly, was already frightened at this time, he was sent by Li Huaixian here to guard against the Tang army on the other side of the river, he was originally very unwilling, since he knew that the Tang army on the other side of the river was personally led by Zhao Ziliang, he had already given birth to the heart of escape, but because of Li Huaixian's obscenity, he had to stubbornly lead his troops to continue to be stationed under the river embankment to monitor the Tang army, but he did not expect that the Tang army dared to forcibly cross the river in such a heavy rain and quietly approached the river embankment to launch a surprise attack, This kind of eclectic and bold combat method is something he can't think of, and he just wants to escape as quickly as possible, and escape as far as possible!

"General, it's not good, there is a large group of Tang troops catching up behind, their horses are running faster than ours, we are about to be caught up!" A pro-soldier shouted anxiously at Zhu Xicai from behind.

"What?" Zhu Xicai was shocked, calculating the distance, less than five miles in front should be Dunqiu City, before arriving at Dunqiu City, the Tang army should not be able to catch up, but the gate of Dunqiu City will never be able to open at this time, that is to say, if he takes his own soldiers, Dunqiu City will definitely be caught up by the Tang cavalry.

Zhu Xicai quickly made up his mind, he couldn't stop in Dunqiu, it would be a dead word to stop, this black light was blinding, even if he dismounted and surrendered, the Tang army couldn't see it, where was there still life when a rain of arrows came over? The only way to do this was to bypass Dunqiu City and continue to flee to Kuang City to the north.

"General, the front is from Dunqiu City!" One of the soldiers who was running in front on horseback shouted.

Zhu Xicai wiped a handful of rain and saw a vague outline of the city in the darkness, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Don't go to Dunqiu City, go around from the right, let's go directly to Kuangcheng!" ”

Zhao Ziliang led the vanguard of the army to chase down Dunqiu City, and at the same time saw the back of the rebels in a small group of rebels bypassing Dunqiu and fleeing to Kuangcheng in the north, he stopped and smiled: "Ha, these people are not stupid, they know that they can't enter Dunqiu City at this time, so they go around and run directly to Kuangcheng!" ”

Xuan Ba, the envoy of the Youyi army, heard it next to him and said: "Marshal, there is news that it is Zhu Xicai, a general under Li Huaixian, who is stationed on the riverbank, and those who escaped just now may be Zhu Xicai and his own soldiers!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let them run!" Let's not send people to chase after it, it's easy to get sick after being in the rain for a long time in this weather! Come on, go and call Xuan Eighteen, the commander of the Huya Army! ”

"No!" One of the soldiers agreed, beat his horse and went behind.

Xuan 18 received the order, and quickly hit the horse and ran over to Zhao Ziliang and hugged his fist and said, "Handsome! ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the southern wall of Dunqiu City in the dark and said, "Have you looked at this city gate?" Take your Huya army to touch it, climb the city wall and open the city gate, raise a fire at the city gate, if there is a torch shaking, I will wave my army into the city! This task only needs to be successful, not fail! ”

"The last general understands!" Xuan 18 agreed, and immediately ran to the rear, and after a while, he ran towards the city wall with more than 500 Huya soldiers carrying melee weapons and ropes and iron hooks.

Heavy rain is abominable, it makes the roads muddy, it makes people who have something to go out feel bad, in short, it can get in the way of many things, but it can also cover up many things, sin and killing.

More than 500 soldiers of the Huya Army rushed to the city wall on foot, the rebels of Dunqiu City were unaware, the heavy rain covered the footsteps, and when they arrived at the city wall, the soldiers of the Huya Army took out ropes and iron hooks and threw them on the city wall.

The soldiers of the Huya Army easily climbed the city wall, and rushed to the city tower at full speed with their weapons, some rebel soldiers in the city tower were killed in their sleep, Xuan 18 took his soldiers to rush from the stairs to the entrance of the city gate, and the city gate was also empty, he waved his hand, some of the soldiers immediately went to open the city gate, and the other part of the soldiers went to the side barracks to deal with the sleeping rebels.

The city gate was soon opened, a torch was lit, and a Huya soldier stood at the open gate and waved the torch continuously, gradually, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and soon turned into thunder, and the people and rebel soldiers in Dunqiu City thought it was really thunder, and wrapped the bedding tighter one by one.
