Chapter 43: The Captive
On the battlefield, dust shrouded in the air, and the entire battlefield was swept by iron horses. Strands of iron riders surged and galloped in the boundless sea of people. Everywhere they went, the flags of the officers and soldiers fell, and all the officers and soldiers wished that they could have two more legs at this moment, and even threw away their weapons in order to escape!
If there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, you can't see the edge at a glance, not to mention that there are 100,000 officers and soldiers. In the middle of the official and military array, Cao Wenzhao's speed has slowed down, according to his experience, at this moment, he is deeply trapped in the enemy formation, if it is according to the usual, he needs to change his direction and lead the team to kill the weak point of the enemy formation.
Repeat the impact to ensure that he can't stop and be besieged by the army, otherwise he will be a warrior in the marrow realm, and he will be besieged and killed by the army if he is not careful.
But at this time, he finally came back to his senses, and when he had time to look up, he found that there was chaos in the rear, the official army had collapsed, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry was chasing and killing.
???
Cao Wenzhao didn't expect for a while that the battle formation composed of 100,000 troops he could be so smooth, but he only broke through the two layers of defense line, and the official army completely collapsed!
At this time, Liu Guoneng led the horse team of the Chinese army to follow, and the cavalry of the brigade rushed forward like a wave, holding the knife while shouting in his mouth, "Throw down your weapons, surrender and don't kill!" ”
Just this sentence, let the officers and soldiers who knew that they couldn't outrun and be caught up by the cavalry fell to their knees, and everyone had a herd mentality, not to mention that in this period, most people had already lost their masters, and under the despair in their hearts, they knew that they might be killed, and they were unwilling to resist but were willing to surrender, and many people around them also threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground when they saw this!
"I surrender, I surrender!" "Spare your life!" The heart-rending cry sounded among the kneeling officers and soldiers, and the battlefield was densely packed with kneeling people, after all, everyone knew that people couldn't outrun horses!
Thanks to the constant propaganda, they vaguely knew that the rebels were very good to the people. Although they are officials and soldiers, they are actually ordinary people, and this is the first time that many people have taken up arms and gone to the battlefield!
Most of the 100,000 officers and soldiers surrendered on their knees, only those who rode horses, most of them were the sons of each family, and they were very loyal, and they were quite forced, and they were defeated, and they also wanted to protect the main family and flee back to Nanjing City, rather than surrender to Yang Su.
Seeing this, Yang Su said: "Order Liu Guoneng to drive the troops aside, get out of the way, let Cao Wenzhao pursue the enemy cavalry, and be sure to stop them outside the door and not let them enter the city!" ”
These people are Yang Su's real goal, if he doesn't break these guards, how can he re-reform the military system, so he can't keep the officers of those guards, and the soldiers can still be reorganized into the construction corps, anyway, they are all farming for Yang Su, they are treated well, and they are not oppressed, so they are naturally grateful to Yang Su.
But the establishment of the construction corps is undoubtedly to cut off the roots of this group of officers, and Cao Cao has a sentence that makes sense, rather teach me to bear people, and stop teaching people to bear me. So Yang Su decided not to give them a chance to do things behind their backs!
?? With Yang Su's order, the 100,000-strong army seemed to be cut in half, and the captives of the officers and soldiers were asked to throw away their weapons and drive them to the sides to make way for a road.
The ground is full of dead and wounded officers and soldiers, among them who can't avoid it because of their disabilities, they are trampled by Guan Ning Iron Cavalry mercilessly, war has always been so cruel, as long as you give an order, even if it is their own injured brother who fell off the horse under the hooves at this time, they have to step over with their eyes open, and the formation cannot be messed up!
Cao Wenzhao took the Guanning Iron Cavalry to pursue the cavalry who had not fled far, the Guanning Iron Cavalry had his back to the imperial court, not only the heavy armor on his body, but also the three-eyed eye gun that could be used as a mace, and the horses he sat on were all good horses bought from outside the Guan, and the gentry in the Jiangnan area were indeed rich, but good horses in these years were not something that could be bought with money.
What's more, in this Jiangnan, if you want to buy one or two good horses, you have to put a lot of thought into it, and specially ask someone to transport it back. The horses of these families were naturally far from being able to catch up with the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the formation was scattered under the haste of fleeing, and everyone was scrambling to escape back to Nanjing, but was caught up by Cao Wenzhao.
Some loyal people also found that everyone couldn't escape in this way, so they took the initiative to stop the moth and put out the fire and wanted to stop Cao Wenzhao's footsteps, wanting to let their master escape, but to no avail.
It's just that the battlefield was originally in the open space outside the north gate of Nanjing, and at this time, the cavalry of the defeated army was already close to the city gate of Nanjing, as if it could be touched.
It's a pity that the closed door finally escaped the catastrophe, and they fell into deep despair again with hope, "Open the door! I'm the commander of Yangzhou Guard, wait for the door to open the door! ”
"Lord Guogong, open the door quickly, the rogues are here!"
Seeing that the victory was decided, Cao Wenzhao, who had tightly bitten the defeated army, saw that the gate of Nanjing was not opened, and naturally did not want his cavalry to be damaged because of the proximity to the city wall.
And a group of military attaches under the city saw that they couldn't beg for mercy, and they kept angrily greeting Xu Hongji
"Xu Hongji, you first forced us to come to help, and then forced us to fight, and now you don't open the city gate and watch us die, Xu Hongji, you have to die!"
"Xu Hongji, even if we are ghosts, we won't let you go!"??
It's a pity that there is still no movement in the city, only the heads of people poking out from the female wall from time to time, telling them that this is not an empty city, but it is a pity to see that the army of 100,000 was defeated in an instant, and everyone was frightened by the rogue soldiers, for fear of opening the city gate and letting the rogue into the city!
"100,000 troops are all lost at my hands, and Nanjing is in danger! I, Xu Qian, have the trust of the country, and I can only apologize with death! Xu Qian turned his horse's head, as the commander-in-chief, he naturally would not carry a long weapon, slowly pulled out his long sword, looked at Cao Wenzhao, who was not far away because he was afraid of the fortifications on the city wall, and roared as if he had the courage to cheer himself up, "Wei Guogong, Xu Qian is loyal to you!" ”
After that, he raised the long sword and charged at Cao Wenzhao tragically, Cao Wenzhao's face was moved, and he raised the spear with both hands to hit the horse, and when the two of them were wrong, Cao Wenzhao stabbed out with a shot as fast as lightning, and Xu Qian was pierced by Cao Wenzhao's heart guard and picked off the horse.
Cao Wenzhao stopped and looked back at Xu Gan's corpse, and sighed, "It's a general, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong person!" ”
At this time, Cao Wenzhao also saw that there were not many defenders in the city, after all, most of the officers and soldiers had become their prisoners, and the remaining defenders in the city had already been frightened when they saw this defeat, and they dared to attack with weapons. Cao Wenzhao judged that there was no danger, so he ordered Guan Ning Tieqi to come forward to harvest.
Something, the update is over! I should be able to make it up tomorrow! I'm sorry!
