Chapter 750: Fighting Late at Night
After a cup of tea, Zhao Ziliang took his generals to the open space of the camp, at this time the three thousand guards had just been assembled, and the marching Sima Chen Qing rode over from the front of the three thousand cavalry and hugged his fists and reported: "Qi Qi Marshal, the three thousand guards cavalry have all been assembled, there is no shortage of one person, please show the marshal!" ”
Zhao Ziliangce immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Soldiers, the rebel Yang Zongwang's 20,000 Ma Zhen attacked our army's camp at night, and now all armies have guarding and incorporating tasks, and they can't go into battle, only our 3,000 guards have no guarding and incorporating tasks!" Now the task of meeting the rebel Yang Zongwang Department must be carried out by our 3,000 escort army, this battle is very important, defeat Yang Zongwang's department, we can consolidate the success of forcing Yin Ziqi's 300,000 horses, if we are defeated, the rebels will inevitably take advantage of the situation to storm our camp, we may be attacked from inside and outside, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info You are all carefully selected elite light cavalry in our Beiting Army, you were selected to form the Guardian Army for the purpose of taking on the most important task, and now this task has appeared, we can only win, not defeat! Please follow me! ”
"Fight! War! War! The cavalry of the convoy shouted with their spears raised.
"Open the camp gate and go!" Zhao Ziliang turned the horse's head and pointed forward with the horse lance in his hand.
Dozens of soldiers pushed the gate of the camp open, Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at Chu Ge, Li Siye and others, and the generals clasped their fists and said loudly: "We will guard the camp tightly, and I wish the commander a victorious return!" ”
"Driving-" Zhao Ziliang held the horse lance and rushed out of the camp, and the three thousand guards behind him took four columns as a benchmark, and the relay race-like horses rushed out of the camp.
The army rushed out, and soon all of them were out of the camp. Zhao Ziliang did not order to stop advancing and form a whole team in front of the camp, but while trotting on his horse, he gave an order to the herald behind him: "Pass my order, the whole army will line up in ten columns and lose formation to attack the rebels with me!" ”
"No!" The herald immediately agreed, and ordered the herald to start lighting torches and using them instead of flags to convey the flag.
After the order was delivered, the subordinates would immediately let their heralds run back and forth on both sides of the team on fast horses to convey the order from above.
"Attention to all the officers and men of the first department, the commander has an order, line up in ten columns to attack the rebels in a forward formation!"
"Queue up in ten columns, quick!"
Within a few minutes, the 3,000 escorts had changed formations during the march, and the entire 3,000-strong army was lined up neatly and everything was in order.
Zhao Ziliang carried the horse lance and trotted at the front of the team, this time he personally led the troops to attack, this is the first time in more than ten years, the last time he personally led the troops to fight was more than ten years ago, he has been in a high position for too long, and he has long been no longer needed to personally lead the troops to fight, but this time, he must personally go out to meet the enemy in the dark night, there are too many accidents that are easy to occur, and he does not dare to guarantee that other generals can deal with it in time.
Under his leadership, the morale of the 3,000 guards was high, and everyone was extremely excited because he could personally lead the troops into battle, which was the exemplary role of the commander of the first army.
"Report-report-Qiqi marshal, the rebel Yang Zongwang is coming three miles ahead, and it seems that it has discovered the movement of our army!" As soon as the army left the camp and did not go two miles, they galloped to report to Zhao Ziliang as soon as they rode their horses.
After Zhao Ziliang listened to the report of the horse survey, he thought that since the distance between the two sides was less than three miles, even if Yang Zongwang found out that there was any movement on the Tang army's side, he would not be able to make corresponding arrangements in a short time.
Without further ado, since it is only three miles apart, it is better to simply start fighting, taking advantage of Yang Zongwang's troops not having time to rectify the formation of the army formation, and directly lead the army to kill and disperse the opponent's army.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziliang immediately made a decision and shouted: "Guards soldiers, the rebels are coming three miles ahead, and the soldiers will rush over with me, kill through the rebel formation, and scatter them!" Command the whole army to charge with me! ”
"Driving-" After Zhao Ziliang finished shouting, he immediately held the horse lance, accelerated his horse and rushed forward in the dark night, and the cavalry of the escort army behind him also beat their horses and accelerated to follow Zhao Ziliang forward.
After less than half a minute of speeding up on the horse, Zhao Ziliang saw a large number of figures moving in front of him, and there were panicked shouts and neighing of war horses in the wind.
Yang Zongwang and other rebel generals obviously did not expect that the Tang army would get the news so quickly and send troops to meet the battle in such a short time, since the troops have been dispatched at this time, and the Tang army is in front of them, it is too late to withdraw, and it is impossible to withdraw, only a war can have the hope of preservation, once retreating, the Tang army will take advantage of the situation to cover up, and the 20,000 horses will definitely be killed by the whole army.
One of the generals asked in horror, "General, what now?" The Tang army is here, it's here! ”
Another general shouted: "Don't scream, if it wasn't for the leakage of the news, it was that the Tang army had already sent people to keep an eye on our troops, and when our whole army was dispatched, their probe horses found out and reported to Zhao Ziliang, now our army has arrived here, and the Tang army has also sent troops to kill, and the retreat at this time will inevitably be defeated!" General, in my opinion, since the Tang army is guarding those 300,000 horses, there will definitely not be too many troops to come out to meet our army, and if you don't give the order to fight to the death with the Tang army, there may be a chance to win! Now, there is no turning back, if you don't succeed, you will die, and if you succeed, you will have glory and wealth at your fingertips! ”
Yang Zongwang was convinced, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Pass my order, and the whole army will fight to the death with the Tang army on the spot!" Rush to me, the winner lives, the loser dies! ”
After Yang Zongwang's order was conveyed, due to the problem of execution, within a few minutes, most of the troops behind had not received the military order, and the Tang army had already killed at this time.
Zhao Ziliang rode his horse and galloped, and shouted with his horse lance: "The enemy is near, ready to kill the enemy!" When the two armies meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and kills-"
With a "bump", the front of the two armies finally collided together.
The golden nail jujube yang lance in Zhao Ziliang's hand swept away thousands of troops with one move, and the rebel soldiers in front were swept off their horses one after another, and after the enemy's corpse was split by the sharp horse lance blade, a puff of blood came to the surface, and soon drenched Zhao Ziliang, and even the war horse seemed to have just taken a bath from the blood pool.
Yang Zongwang rebels because they were coming to sneak attack, worried about being discovered, the whole army did not have a torch, the whole team marched in the dark, and Zhao Ziliang was worried that the whole army would easily expose itself with torches, so he did not raise torches, the two armies encountered on the narrow marching road, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly in the night, and they could only see the figures on the opposite side and the cold sword flashing.
"General, general, it's not good, the Tang army has lost its formation, all of them are cavalry, brave and brave, the brothers were killed like a river of blood, and they can't resist it!" A rebel captain covered in blood rode a horse and shouted to Yang Zongwang, who was in the middle of the whole army.
The two armies met suddenly, and there was no time and opportunity to open up the military formation at this time, but the Tang army was obviously prepared, all of them were cavalry, and they were lined up in a forward formation, which was intended to charge directly into the formation.
A cold sweat broke out on Yang Zongwang's forehead, and he immediately pointed to a general next to him and shouted: "You, take your men and horses to bypass the side of the road to resist the attack of the Tang army for me, go quickly!" ”
The general said with a bitter face: "General, no, there are fields on both sides of the road, and the fields are full of mud and stagnant water, and you can't see clearly in this dark night, and you can't get through it at all!" ”
"Damn, you're looking for death!" Yang Zongwang was furious, and he took the waist knife and slashed the general to death. Then he pointed to another general and said, "You go!" ”
The general looked at his companion who had just been hacked to death, and knew that if he refused, he would definitely follow in his footsteps, so he had to agree: "Yes, General! ”
"Brothers in the back, follow me around the field to block the impact of the Tang Army!"
Yang Zongwang gave several orders in a row, so that several generals took their men and horses to the front to block the Tang army, the rebels were so messed up by Yang Zongwang, and began to be chaotic, the sound of the rebels was everywhere on the road and the fields on both sides, but the fields on both sides were muddy and muddy water, and people could not move quickly when they walked in it, and many rebel soldiers fell into the fields and were soaked and full of thin mud, plus the temperature dropped at night, and they were shivering one by one.
The horse lance in Zhao Ziliang's hand kept sweeping and chopping, and he didn't stop for a moment, and the war horse under his crotch also kept sprinting forward, he slashed and killed the enemy army while yelling: "Everyone is not allowed to stop, rush to me, rush along the road to the end, there are fields on both sides, it is inconvenient to move, and it is impossible to arrange troops, and if you rush to the end along the road, you can completely crush the enemy army!" ”
"Kill, kill, kill-" The cavalry officers and soldiers of the Tang Army under the leadership of Zhao Ziliang slashed and slashed the enemy army while shouting to increase the momentum, and the rebel soldiers behind were frightened one by one, and they couldn't see the situation ahead clearly in the dark night, and they didn't know where the Tang army had killed, and when many rebel soldiers reacted, the Tang army had already rushed to their eyes.
The rebels have the ability to sneak attack, but now that the Tang army has broken through the hide, everyone is afraid, where is the determination to fight? Clever and quickly ran down the road to the middle of the field, and the unwitted people were crushed by the Tang Army's iron cavalry on the road, becoming a cold corpse.
The rebel soldiers in front of him were slashed by Zhao Ziliang, he didn't know how many people he had killed, he only knew that he had been rushing along this road for more than ten minutes, and the three thousand cavalry of the guards behind him were still closely following him, and the captain of the personal army, Nuer, was also riding a tall horse to follow them at this time.
Zhao Ziliang asked loudly while slashing and killing: "Nur, how are the casualties of our department, and are you still in formation?" ”
Nur responded while chopping with a bloody double axe: "The pro-soldiers have lost more than a dozen people, the others are intact, the formation is not scattered, our army is lined up along the main road to kill in a lost formation, the soldiers behind us should have no loss, our front has blocked almost all the attacks!" ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "If you can't stand it, you can slow down and retreat to the back, and let others come up!" ”
"I'm a little older, but I'm not too old to last this time! Don't worry, I'm fine," Noor kept chopping, but he was a little out of breath at this point. Zhao Ziliang is already thirty-nine years old this year, while Nur is forty-six or seventeen years old, and he has passed the morale of his prime, and has begun to enter the stage of middle and old age.
Zhao Ziliang has been practicing the method of immortality and qi cultivation all these years, plus he has a magical wrench to transform his body, so his physical fitness has been maintained at the peak, and his skills have been growing slowly over the years, and he has never regressed.
