Chapter 923: Sweeping away Nan Tianzhu

Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time and asked Zhao Lei: "How are you going to attack?" ”

Zhao Lei walked over and pointed to the map and said: "Erchen took a partial division along this mountain range to the west and turned around here, and then quickly went south, and then turned around from here to the east, all the way to the city, and raided the west side of the coalition camp as quickly as possible." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info used to be good at long-distance running, and this time the son also wanted to give it a try! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "How many people do you need?" ”

"20,000 light horsemen, no servant army!"

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "You are very ghostly, you know that the servant army can't do the work of long-distance raids!" Well, give you 20,000 light cavalry, and all the light cavalry of the Third and Ninth Legions will be handed over to you, but my father will find you a reliable lieutenant! Where is Li Sheng? ”

Li Sheng stood up and hugged his fists and said, "King, Weichen is here!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Zhao Lei has never led so many soldiers and horses, and it is also the first time to lead the troops for a long-distance attack alone, you are not a few years older than him, but you have been with this king for a long time, and you have rich combat experience, this king wants you to be his deputy general, what do you think?" Will you feel aggrieved? ”

Li Sheng hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed and said: "Why did the king say this, Weichen's skills were learned from the king, the prince's military talent is ten times better than Weichen's, he is just inexperienced, and the last general can be his deputy general, just like taking a junior brother, how can he feel wronged?" ”

"Well, you are all young people, you have common topics, you can talk about them, and that's why this king picked you and didn't pick anyone else! If there is anything he did wrong or didn't pay attention to on the march, you need to mention it more! ”

"Yes, please rest assured, Weichen will do his best to ensure the safety of the eldest prince, try not to interfere with his command, and let him command the battle according to his own intentions!"

Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, you go and prepare, and set off at dawn tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!"

After Zhao Ting and Li Sheng left with their troops, Zhao Ziliang commanded the servant army to attack Peacock Pass as usual every day. The reason why this Peacock Pass is called Peacock Pass is because its shape and the color of the mountains and forests on both sides are like a peacock with an open screen, this mountain range runs through the entire Katambo country, and as long as the Katambo country holds this pass, it can block the invasion of enemies from the north.

Peacock Pass, in the camp of the Southern Tianzhu Coalition Army.

The kings of various countries are enjoying singing and dancing in the big tent, while eating and drinking and having fun, and the Western Qin army outside the Peacock Pass is no longer worried.

At this time, an official of the Hosala country walked in with a panicked look, and the big tent whispered a few words in the ear of the king of Hosala, and the king of Hosala turned pale after hearing this, and suddenly stood up: "What・・・・・・ it's over, it's over, it's all over!" ”

The look and gesture of King Hosala, who was sitting on his seat, made the other kings stop their pleasure, and King Kakatia asked aloud, "King Hosala, what is wrong with you?" What happened? ”

King Hosala's face turned pale, and he said weakly: "There is a Western Qin army that has counted a lot of people suddenly from the southwest of the sea, and in just half a month, it has captured all the land of my Hosala country, and I have become the king of the dead country!" ”

"What? How is this possible・・・・・・ this? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how could the Western Qin army suddenly kill from the sea in the southwest? Is there a mistake in the message? ”

King Hossala sighed, "The news has been confirmed, and several of my princes and princesses are fleeing here!" ”

The drum music in the big tent stopped instantly, and the singers and musicians retreated one after another, except for the guards, there were only these kings left in the tent, and they were all like dead fathers and mothers!

At this time, the king of Rashdra Kuta, Suppa He, angrily reprimanded: "I have long advised you, don't get carried away, since you arrived at this Peacock Pass, you all think that the Western Qin army will never be able to come in, drink and play with women all day long, and don't think about retreating from the enemy, what is happening now?" Now, they're coming from behind us! ”

King Katanpo was furious and said, "What's the use of talking about this now? The key is to find a way to resolve the crisis, we can't sit back, otherwise what awaits us will be eighteen layers of hell, eternal life and eternal life can not be turned over, do you understand? ”

Su Po He raised his hand to stop the other kings from panicking and arguing, "Don't worry, don't worry! How many people did the Western Qin army kill from behind us? Is it cavalry or infantry? ”

King Hosala said: "About 20,000 Western Qin troops, infantry accounts for the majority, cavalry accounts for the minority, this is the Western Qin army, not those rotten people in the north who surrendered to Western Qin!" ”

Su Po Ha immediately said, "Is there only 20,000 people? If there are only 20,000, then we still have hope, now we still have 320,000 people, and there are still soldiers and horses transferred from the south, we can mobilize 100,000 horses from here to attack the 20,000 Western Qin army, and the rest stay here to resist the attack of the Western Qin army in the north! ”

King Katampo immediately said: "This is a good way, King Suvaha, I am afraid that only you can take on this important task!" You have 20,000 horses in your own department, and we will send some more from various countries, and we will gather a total of 100,000 horses for you, what do you think? ”

Suo Po Ha agreed: "Okay, I'll get rid of you here!" ”

The next day, Su Po ordered 100,000 horses to go to the southwest, accompanied by only a month's grain and grass, with his ability to command 400,000 horses, it is still feasible to command 100,000 horses, these 100,000 horses under his command is also considered to be good, along the way marching, camping are done in an orderly manner, although still a little rusty, but also more and more skilled, after groping and pondering, he also understands some of the key points of marching and camping.

On the sixth day of the first month of the fourth year of the Xinghan Dynasty, the Western Qin army commanded by Zhao Ting encountered the 100,000 allied troops led by Suo Po Hetong at Kanur, and both sides did not have time to adjust and deploy, and the battle was immediately fought after the encounter.

In terms of response to the battle, the Western Qin army was obviously well-trained, they were assembled under the command of their respective officers, and the combat units at all levels formed a formation at a very fast speed under the command of Zhao Ting.

Zhao Ting would not wait for the Tianzhu people to form a formation before attacking, he was not so generous and kind, and immediately ordered the Chinese infantry to advance quickly, and after advancing to the range of bows and arrows, the infantry of the Western Qin Army stopped advancing, and all took out bows and arrows for a large-scale and large-scale concentrated long-range attack.

Dense arrows flew like locusts to the Tianzhu army, pieces of Tianzhu soldiers fell with arrows, after shooting more than a dozen waves of arrows in a row, there were very few Tianzhu troops within the range of bows and arrows, and the infantry of the Western Qin army continued to advance under the command of Zhao Ting, and after walking another fifty steps, they stopped again to strike with bows and arrows.

In this way, a total of one hundred and fifty steps were advanced, and all the arrows in the hands of the infantry of the Western Qin Army were shot, but it also dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Tianzhu Army. Suo Po Ha reduced the casualties of the bow and arrow strikes, and had to force the Tianzhu army, which had not yet formed a formation, to rush towards the Western Qin army.

Zhao Ting immediately ordered the infantry to retreat, and let the only 1,000 heavy armored cavalry attack, and the heavy cavalry arrived in front of the infantry and lined up in four rows, each row of 250 horsemen, and the two cavalry were close together, rushing towards the chaotic Tianzhu infantry on the opposite side.

At the same time, Zhao Ting ordered the army to launch an all-out attack, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks first attacked the Tianzhu army with bows and arrows, and then rushed over to slash at close quarters, and the infantry followed closely behind the heavy cavalry in a neat formation like a wall.

Although there are only a thousand heavy cavalry, but this momentum is still not what the Tianzhu infantry can bear, when the rows of steel machines rushed over, the huge pressure made the Tianzhu soldiers collapse instantly, and the Tianzhu cavalry on the left and right wings could not withstand the continuous cavalry shooting and slashing of the Western Qin light cavalry, under the superb cavalry tactics of the Western Qin cavalry, the Tianzhu soldiers soon collapsed on the whole line, and Zhao Ting himself immediately picked up Fang Tian's halberd and launched the final general attack with his own soldiers.

The army of Suo Po Ha was defeated, and the news that he did not know his life and death soon spread to the Peacock Pass, and the kings of the countries were as white as the earth, but soon another bad news came, so that many of them could no longer sit still in this Peacock Pass, Zhao Lei took 20,000 Xiqin Iron Cavalry to kill from the west, all the way like a bamboo, less than a hundred miles away from the Peacock Pass, the king of Pallava quickly retreated to the south with his own men and horses, and then the Chola Kingdom and the Zheluo Kingdom also followed, and the other kings saw this, knowing that the Peacock Pass could not be held, Immediately, they each ordered their men and horses to evacuate quickly to the south together, lest they be blocked by Zhao Ting and Zhao Lei.

After the Peacock Pass was empty, Zhao Ziliang only took three days to break through the pass, and then Zhao Ziliang's army did not stop, and immediately pursued the whole army to the south.

On the twelfth day of the first month, the Southern Tianzhu coalition army was caught up and had to be forced to stop the truce.

On this morning, in the vast grassland north of the ancient city of the Kakatia Kingdom, the two sides set up a final showdown.

The Nantianzhu coalition army dispatched 12,000 war elephants to attack the Western Qin army, in the face of the behemoth of the war elephants, the manpower is really difficult to resist, fortunately, Zhao Lei has already thought of a way to deal with the war elephants, and the rows of fire-lit carts were pushed towards the war elephant herd, and then countless fire oil bombs flew from the rear of the Western Qin army and fell behind the war elephant herd, and the war elephant herd instantly turned around and rushed to the rear like crazy.

The Southern Tianzhu coalition army was caught off guard, and was shocked by its own war elephant troops, and then the 10,000 iron cavalry of the Western Qin army followed the war elephants and launched a charge, and the rout was formed in the Southern Tianzhu army, Zhao Ziliang promptly ordered 300,000 servant troops to launch a fierce attack, and the Western Qin legions pressed the formation behind.

After an hour of fighting, the armies of Palava, Zheluo and Chola attacked the armies of other kings at a critical moment, and at this time Zhao Ziliang seized the opportunity and once again ordered the light cavalry to penetrate obliquely from the left and right flanks of the coalition army, the coalition army could no longer resist and was completely defeated, and the Western Qin army pursued and killed all the way for three days and three nights, killing more than 200,000 people and capturing more than 100,000 people.
