Chapter Ninety-Six: Worse Than Rotten

Tang Ao's martial arts and bravery were extraordinary, and he made the five hundred heavily armored cavalry of the Fu Gong Decree like thunder and tireless, like heavenly soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After breaking through the barracks, it is like a group of tigers that have pounced into the chicken coop and duck house, like entering a no-man's land, and the blocker is invincible.

The Tang army gathered a crowd to resist, but it was no match for Tang Ao's arrogance, and he couldn't wait to arrange the defensive formation and was defeated by the powerful horse lance.

Only then did the five hundred cavalry realize the beauty of the clubs in their hands, although they were not as sharp as their sabers, but the sticks were thick and long, and there was no need to perform a slashing action under the drive of the heavy cavalry.

Just put the stick on the horse's back, and with the help of galloping momentum, you can injure and kill countless enemies.

Tang Ao, who took the lead, did not love war, and did not want to destroy Ma Jingchen's troops here, and after destroying the simple barracks, he just fought in and out of the periphery of the barracks, and the forced Tang army continued to shrink towards the Chinese army.

"Lord Tang is mighty."

"Changshan Zhao Zilong is not as good as him."

"God bless the Tang Dynasty, the national honor is in me."

"Trouble the dynasty, the Wu clan should be punished."

The five hundred cavalry gradually found that they had no place to use, and the three armies retreated wherever Tang Ao, who led the army in front, and had no choice but to cheer for Tang Ao and boost their morale.

In the Tang army's formation, Li Xiaoyi's deputy general Ma Jingchen was frightened and panicked at the moment, and his voice trembled and went out of tune: "Quickly retreat, immediately withdraw to the north bank of the Han River to ask the general for help, you quickly help the general to board the ship!" ”

The rest of the Tang army generals were also frightened by Tang Ao's five hundred cavalry, and at the same time rejoiced that the Yangzhou army was insufficient.

If there are more than 1,000 such brave soldiers, won't the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on your side be wiped out? It is rumored in Chang'an City that Tang Ao is comparable to the overlord and ten thousand enemies, and it is really not a rumor.

The generals of the Tang Army took the lead in fleeing, and the defeat was like a mountain in an instant.

Tang Ao did not pursue, and by the time Xue Chang and Wei Chizhao led their troops into the dilapidated camp, Ma Jingchen's tens of thousands of defeated soldiers had all fled to the north bank.

Tang Ao's goal was achieved, and he couldn't help but look in the direction of Gu City.

Wei Chao, he doesn't know Xiahou Zhan's ability to lead the troops, I hope that he can also successfully force the Tang army to shrink over there!

Tang Ao suddenly felt his body volley, it turned out that he was thrown into the air by five hundred dismounted cavalry, and Gao Feizhang Xu was caught by the soldiers and thrown up again.

"Mighty...... Mighty ......"

With 500 cavalry to defeat tens of thousands of Tang troops, such a record was too impressive, and the Yangzhou army did not know that it was Tang Ao who cast a spell talisman because of it, and the morale explosion reached its peak.

In the end, the morale was concentrated on Tang Ao, and Tang Ao's legend has since won the three armies.

At the same time, the Yangzhou army in the direction of Gucheng had just arrived at the battlefield, and it did not know that Ma Jingchen's troops had been routed and retreated to the north bank of the Han River.

The two generals were discussing the battle strategy, and the main general Wei Chao was somewhat related to Li Xian's empress Wei, and was appointed by Li Jingye as the vanguard of the right lane by virtue of this nepotism.

Although this person is quite brave but not good at planning, how to achieve the combat intention of the Yangzhou army makes him worried.

"General Xiahou, if you want to force Lei Renzhi to give up Gucheng, but you can't fight to the death with Lei Renzhi, how can you fight this battle?" Wei Chao spread his hands and said with a bitter face.

Xiahou Zhan said confidently: "General Wei, don't be impatient, Lei Renzhi used to be a captain under Cheng Wuting, this person likes to take advantage of small advantages and has courage and no strategy, General Cheng has a strategy that may be able to easily force Lei Renzhi back." ”

"Come on, General Cheng has such a plan, why don't you tell the general?" Wei Chao urged with some dissatisfaction, and at the same time glanced at Xiahou Zhan.

There are four words of courage and no strategy, as if they are talking about him.

Xiahou Zhan explained: "There may be Li Xiaoyi's side of the Yangzhou army, this plan is to outwit, and it will not be smart if the news is leaked, General Wei will come over with his ears ......"

Lei Renzhi was born in the Yulin Army, and his ancestors followed Gaozu to raise troops and made meritorious contributions, and passed on to his generation to inherit the title of knighthood and the position of partial general.

Originally, he was at ease in Chang'an City, but he didn't want to be ordered to go on the expedition, and it was his ability to walk the birds and bully the market, and he was really not interested in leading the troops to fight, and he was very afraid of fighting in the battle array.

Hearing that the Yangzhou army came to Gucheng, Lei Renzhi's first thought was to escape, but he didn't lose Gucheng in a battle, and Li Xiaoyi's military law would definitely not spare him.

This made him frightened and sorrowful, sighed, and turned around in a hurry in the Chinese army.

Captain Cheng Saburo and Lei Renzhi of Guoyi have been good all the way, but they also know that military law is ruthless, and it is quite difficult to think about how to get Lei Renzhi to return to Junzhou to save his life: "General, I will retreat to the city like this, and I will be beheaded when I go back, but the last general has an idea, which can not only save our lives, but also have something to say in front of Li Xiaoyi." ”

Lei Renzhi's eyes lit up: "If there is a good plan, don't come quickly." ”

"The last general heard that the general and the rebel general Cheng Wuting had a good relationship, so it was better to repair a letter and send it to the Yangzhou army, and secretly agreed not to attack each other, or just wave the flag and shout to go through the motions......"

Lei Renzhi raised his hand and wanted to give Cheng Saburo a slap in the face, it was too late for him to clear up his relationship with Cheng Wuting, wouldn't he live to repair another book?

"The general is angry, it is true that the book is a fake sneak attack, the general pretends to surrender to the enemy, and the Yangzhou army will be happy to accept it, this is a trick to surrender."

Lei Renzhi snorted: "In the future, I will talk about the key points first, and it is also feasible to deceive and fall, take pen and ink, and I will give Cheng Wuting a letter to repair it, but I don't know who is the commander in the Yangzhou army opposite?" What if it wasn't Cheng Wuting? ”

Cheng Saburo said with a smile: "Why does the general care who is in command of the Yangzhou army, we just need to pretend to contact the Yangzhou army, delay the time for sufficient retreat, and bring back thousands of heads in Junzhou by the way, not only no fault but also great merit!" ”

Lei Renzhi's face was moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you want to kill good and take credit? ”

"The general's words are wrong! Junzhou is the fief before the King of Luling, and the hearts of the people are on the side of the King of Luling and the Yangzhou Army, so what is the use of such a mob staying? Do you want to replenish the good family for the Yangzhou army? ”

Lei Renzhi hesitated for a moment and agreed to Cheng Saburo's plan, defrauded and dragged down the Yangzhou army, and then detained the charge of slaughtering the city on the head of the Yangzhou army.

This plan is very clever, Cheng Saburo's cub is really a wolf, poisonous and ruthless enough.

As soon as the two of them had discussed properly, their own soldiers came to report: "Two adults, the Yangzhou rebels have begun to attack the city." ”

Before the words fell, there was an earth-shattering sound of fighting outside, which made the two people who thought they had a plan look like dirt.

As the main general, although he does not have to fight in the front, he also has to sweep the formation in the rear, Lei Renzhi and Cheng Saburo came to the city hard.

I saw tens of thousands of Yangzhou soldiers and horses surging to attack, erected on the city wall of the ladder no less than dozens, Yangzhou soldiers holding a knife in one hand, holding a shield in the other, bravely fighting for the first ant to climb.

Lei Renzhi and Cheng Saburo are incompetent, which does not mean that the 300,000 army under Li Xiaoyi is a local chicken.

As soldiers, they are all bloody, without Lei Renzhi's orders, the Tang army immediately launched a counterattack, and in less than a cup of tea, the Tang army actually had the upper hand and knocked down all the ladders and destroyed them.

The Yangzhou soldiers suffered great losses, but they were not discouraged, and after a short rest, they set up the ladder again.

When he was about to continue the siege of the city, the rear of the Yangzhou army suddenly became chaotic, and he saw that the handsome flag in the Yangzhou army suddenly broke and fell to the ground.

Shuai Qi is the courage of the three armies, such a change caught the Yangzhou army off guard, how can they still have the heart to attack the city, disperse like a low tide.

Such a God-given opportunity, Lei Renzhi and Cheng Saburo would not let it go no matter how stupid they were, and when the Yangzhou army retreated, they immediately ordered someone to open the city gate and cover it out.

In one go, he chased more than ten miles, seized countless military funds, and captured hundreds of people.

Lei Renzhi and Cheng Saburo couldn't help but look at each other in the face of the sudden victory, racking their brains to withdraw from the army, and ruthlessly preparing to kill the good and take the risk.

It was a surprise that the victory came so suddenly.

After inquiring about the prisoners, he learned that the commander of the Yangzhou army was neither Xue Ne nor Cheng Wuting, but the brother-in-law of the king of Luling, who could not be beaten.

Lei Renzhi and Cheng Saburo couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, they thought that they were not the material to lead troops to fight, they were afraid of death and spare their lives, but they didn't expect that they would be on the side of the Yangzhou army.

Lei Renzhi couldn't help laughing, changed his previous cowardice and fear, and ordered people to escort the loot back to Gucheng, while Pegasus reported to Li Xiaoyi.

Most of the military funds discarded by the Yangzhou army were grain and grass, and it was transported back to Gucheng when it was time to bury the pot and make rice.

The Tang soldiers looked at the captured grain and grass, thinking that this lunch must taste different.

At this moment, the straw bag on the grain cart suddenly stretched out its sword, and hundreds of Yangzhou army soldiers jumped out of the straw bag, and the tiger pounced on the nearby Tang army.

Before the Tang army could figure out what was happening, he was hacked to death and wounded countless times.

These Yangzhou soldiers took out the flint and velvet ropes they carried with them and set them on fire everywhere, and the east gate of Gu City did not last long.

The Tang army, which had just won a great victory, never dreamed that it would turn into elbows and armpits, and it couldn't help but be shocked when it saw the fires everywhere, and they all walked away to avoid being burned to death in the city.

The Yangzhou Right Route Army, which had been chased before, appeared on the horizon, and saw that Gucheng was on fire, and its morale was greatly boosted, and it took advantage of the situation to attack the city.

Seeing that the Tang army was so chaotic, Wei Chao and Xiahou Zan knew that the battle was secure.

Lei Renzhi lost one of the boots on his feet, and forcibly scolded the horse of a sergeant, who was the one who was ordered by him to go to Junzhou to report the victory.

In the rush to escape, more and more routs gathered around.

"The general doesn't need to panic, the Yangzhou army did not take advantage of the situation to cover up." Cheng Saburo, who lost his helmet and lost most of his beard, saw Lei Renzhi and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "The casualties of our army are not large, only more than a thousand people have been lost, and the last general also took hundreds of heads along the way, and we have something to say when we go to Junzhou." ”

The rout of Wudang Mountain and Gucheng came to the outside of Junzhou City almost at the same time, and Li Xiaoyi, who learned the news of the defeat of the two places, almost lost his soul, and found Wei Yuanzhong and others to discuss countermeasures in a panic.

Li Xiaoyi looked at Su Xiaoxiang with great regret in his heart, if he knew that the Yangzhou Army was so brave, he should have chosen the first path in the first place.
