Chapter 133: Settled

"Boyuan, how is my tactics?" Wang Shen no longer led the charge, he returned to the Chinese army under the banner of the commander, sat on the horse, carried the whip and laughed and pointed to the Kong Jiajun who was already extremely depressed in the distance, and asked with a smile. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There was no longer any problem in winning the victory, Qi and Huang Pingding were just around the corner, he completely relaxed, and even started a family routine with Kong Xian.

Although Kong Xian's words flickered, he still let him figure out a lot of the details of the Kong family and the Kong family's army.

On the surface, his titular brother-in-law and brother-in-law seem extremely affectionate.

"With only 5,000 men, an army of 30,000 was surrounded!" Kong Xian was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall to the ground: "No, no, no, it is relying on five hundred cavalry to surround the 30,000 army, this, this, how is this possible?" ”

There was a chill in his heart, and he had heard that Wang Shen had been invincible since he led the army, and even the Jurchens and Khitans had been beaten to the ground by him. As his opponent, Kong Jiajun naturally refused to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, so he naturally let the wind out, saying that these so-called achievements were Wang Shen's boasting.

Now, it seems that this is all true.

In today's battle, the Kong army had already paid almost 2,000 dead and wounded, and its morale was gone, and it was only a matter of time before it was completely annihilated, and Wang Shen's cavalry had only about a dozen casualties in total.

This is already an adult bullying a three-year-old child, and this battle can be fought like this?

Amazement, admiration, mountain admiration, fear, shock...... These words were no longer enough to describe his mood at the moment.

"How could it be?" All the cavalry laughed loudly: "My Sizhou army, the first in the world!" ”

"A small battle, how to worry about it, a certain is just a little work for the country for the people of Qi and Huang, I am ashamed." Wang Shen waited until the laughter stopped, and said lightly: "The hour is not early, and it will be dark in an hour, so Tabai will change into heavy equipment and ride a gun, and prepare for the final charge." Infantry armies, it's time to launch! ”

Wang Shen's tactics were inspired by the Jurchen kidnappers and future Mongol cavalry archers. Now that I think back to the battle with Wanyan Ba, it was a nightmare!

The cavalry is really the king of cold weapon warfare, but imagine what a huge pressure the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty faced the Dangxiang Iron Harrier, the Khitan Rider and the Jurchen Kidnapping Horse?

However, mounted archery can only suppress, weaken and disrupt the enemy, and the final solution to the battle will have to rely on heavy infantry. Even the later Mongol cavalry had to dismount and fight on foot in the end?

Kong Yanzhou, today I will let you see what is the most advanced tactic of this era.

……

"Straight lady thief, 30,000 horses are surrounded here by the enemy's 500 cavalry, and I have never fought such a humiliating battle." Liu Fu scolded angrily, and the wound on his face that was pulled out by Kong Yanzhou's whip burst out again, and red blood couldn't help but gush out. took out the gold sore medicine and pressed it on his forehead, he shouted: "Commander, you can't go on like this, ...... master"

No one answered, and when he turned his head to look, Kong Yanzhou looked ahead with a dull gaze.

In the distance, in the clearing, lay corpses, all the dead with arrows. Even though they were all wearing armor, they were still easily shot through their bodies in the face of the divine arm bow in the hands of the Sizhou army.

Kong Yanzhou was originally born in Hebei Dahao, and he didn't know how many battles he had fought in his life. He is fierce and cunning, and he has always taken advantage of the principle of fighting if he can win and leaving if he can't, and he has never suffered at the hands of the enemy.

But today's situation is so frustrating that it can't reach people at all; Walking, how can a man's legs outrun a horse's hooves on this great plain?

Could it be that these 30,000 troops are going to be consumed alive by Wang Shen here?

The most terrible thing is that the morale of the army has completely fallen, and the tired and hungry soldiers no longer have the courage to fight.

This is also the characteristic of the army of Kong Yanzhou, which harms the people, and when it fights with the wind, it is simply the elite possession of the Western Army; Once you lose the battle, you will be in a ruins.

Kong Yanzhou's face could not see any blood, his lips were black, and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled on his forehead, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

An officer said: "Lord, we can't wait like this any longer, let's just withdraw from the army, right?" ”

"Retreat, what about retreating, how many people can get away with it/" Kong Yanzhou muttered.

"A few walks count." Another officer squeezed over and said hurriedly: "Anyway, it's a dead word, it's better to spell." There are a lot of us, form a big formation, retreat step by step, and we can withdraw half of the men and horses. The city wall of Qichun County is high and thick, and then the people are levied to defend the city and repair the fortress, even if Wang Shen can fight again, he will not be able to attack without breaking his two front teeth. ”

"That's it...... Even if you return to Qichun, what can you do to defend the city? Kong Yanzhou stuttered.

Seeing that the unbeatable military master of the past had become like this, Liu Fu sighed in his heart.

The officer who spoke earlier continued: "Commander, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood, so you must protect yourself first." ”

"Yes, you're right, the most important thing now is to protect yourself. Defeated, the troops are scattered, and the re-enlistment is enough. Kong Yanzhou's eyes regained their brightness, and he said continuously: "The key now is to let as many soldiers and horses as possible withdraw from this damn battlefield and preserve their strength." The gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late, sooner or later the surname Wang will fall into my hands one day, and when the time comes, I will tell him to live and not to die. ”

Hatred lifted his spirits, and he was about to start arranging.

Suddenly, there was another roar of horses' hooves and a tsunami-like roar from the opposite side.

"What's wrong?" Kong Yanzhou asked in a trembling voice.

"The lord of the army, the ...... of the Sizhou army Sizhou Army, the whole army is dispatched! ”

It was already dark, and there was a crowd of people in front of him, like a big wall, moving slowly and unstoppably.

"After a whole day of fighting, I can finally meet the thief's infantry army, ready, ready!" But the screaming stopped abruptly.

But he saw a fierce rush in front of him, carrying a white heavy horse with a spear.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

The feathered arrows of the sparse lala were shot.

It was too fast, and the speed of the horse that stepped on the white army had been put to the maximum.

Like a hurricane sweeping, a long cavalry spear pierced into the formation of the Kong family's army, and a terrible cry came.

After the shot was stabbed, the cavalry in the front row swept past the front of the formation, revealing another row of cavalry spears behind...... Then the third row, the fourth row...... In the blink of an eye, the cavalry quickly retreated, followed by the pouring Sizhou heavy infantry.

The large array of the Kong family army has been opened a huge gap.

A tall infantry general rushed to the front, holding a long-handled sledgehammer, and with just one wave, the sky was full of figures flying like scarecrows: "Yue Yun is here, Kong Yanzhou is dead!" The Man of Betrayal—"

"There is no advance or retreat!"

……

"Choosing the Front-"

"Mighty!"

……

"Victorious Army—"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

……

"Former army, use me in the first battle-"

"Use me to win!"

……

Everywhere there were Sizhou sergeants roaring loudly, sitting for a day, only to see Tabai showing off his might in front of us, as if we were the only ones in the Sizhou army, Lao Tzu was not convinced.

"Rush up, rush up, don't stop!"

"Don't fight for the enemy's head, keep the formation and continue to attack!"

……

Kong Yanzhou's army completely collapsed, threw away the weapons in his hands, took off his armor, and turned around and fled towards Qichun City.

The next task was handed back to the Tabai Army, who took off their heavy armor, changed into light clothes, and chased behind the Kong Jiajun unhurriedly with their sabers. As long as an enemy falls behind, raising his hand is to slash at the back.

When the enemy wanted to regroup, he made an unreasonable attack and dispersed the matter.

The battle ended at dawn on the second day, in which the Sizhou army beheaded more than 4,000 and captured more than 10,000.

The battlefield covered a radius of thirty miles, and there were corpses scattered everywhere.

Almost everyone in the Sizhou army has a hideous head tied to their waists.

This was an unprecedented victory, and at this moment, Kong Yanzhou was almost completely annihilated, and he could no longer be Wang Shen's opponent. The dust has finally settled.

"What an easy battle!" Wang Shen yawned a long time, and said to his subordinates: "Prepare wine and food, reward the three armies, I haven't eaten seriously for a day and a night, and I'm hungry!" After eating, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the troops rested for a day. Tomorrow we will enter Qichun. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Kong Xian beside him: "Boyuan, you also come to drink a few drinks with me, after all, it is a family, everyone talks." ”

The guards couldn't help but want to laugh, and Wang Jun shouted affectionately one by one, in fact, he was making Kong Xian happy.

General Wang has his own wife, and his relationship is very good, how can he marry Kong Yanzhou's daughter, he said this in front of everyone.

So, soon someone brought hot food, and Wang Shen and Kong Xian sat on the ground, eating and drinking and talking.

Wang Shen's whole body relaxed, and he felt extremely comfortable.

He can relax, others don't dare to rest. People kept coming to tell me how much they had seized and how many people they were going to collect.

The harvest of this battle was huge, and the capture was enough to fill up 10,000 horses, and the armor, weapons, and arrows were not counted.

Of the more than 12,000 captives, Wang Shen did not want to take them all. There are two reasons: first, he implemented a policy of streamlining the administration of the army, and the two prefectures of Qi and Huang were too poor to support so many people; Second, Kong Yanzhou's soldiers were all born in the thief army, and their military discipline was corrupt, which did not agree with Wang Shen's idea of building an army as long as he was a good family. Moreover, due to nutritional problems, most of these captives were thin and unusable.

After thinking about it, Wang Shen decided to screen and select three to four thousand soldiers who were quite passable, and scattered and enriched the various departments. As for the others, they concentrated on guarding them first, waited until the fighting subsided, and then served as second-line auxiliaries in the cantonment and maintenance of local order.

Looking at the captives who were sitting on the ground, Wang Shen shook his head and sighed: There are too many people, it's really sad to feed them!

He couldn't learn from the other rogues and the Song army, once he captured the prisoners, he cut them clean with a knife. Although Kong Yanzhou was a thief during this period, he did not surrender to the Jurchen as a traitor. Strictly speaking, the Sizhou Army and the Confucian Army can only be regarded as a civil war, and they are not irreconcilable national contradictions and clashes of civilizations. Treat the people of the same clan, naturally they can't be brutally suppressed and killed.

Territory, I need a bigger and richer territory.

Thinking of this, Wang Shenhuo turned to look west.

In the distance is the Yangtze River, as long as the Yangtze River is crossed, it is the Jianghan Plain that can be pinched out of oil by grabbing the soil, if you can guard that side, let alone feed more than 10,000 people, even if it is ten times more.

After this battle, take Kong Yanzhou's head, but send the fast boat to Jiankang, and ask Du Chong to ask the court for a certain merit to see if he can move and bring Ezhou into my defense area.

Beside him, Kong Xian was probably hungry, and his two hands kept grabbing the mutton in the wooden basin in front of him, only eating until the corners of his mouth were oily, and his face was satisfied.

Thinking about taking off his father's head in front of this brother-in-law is indeed a little embarrassing.

However, Kong Yanzhou's crimes were extremely heinous, and he committed a lot of bloody cases in Henan and Shandong, and Wang Shen did not have the slightest psychological burden to kill him. It's that this kid's character is not too bad, and he will check it in the future, if he hasn't done anything bad, it doesn't matter if he has a way out.

Originally, capturing Kong Xian and treating him with courtesy, Wang Shen wanted to use him as a backhand to see if he could think of a way to split the Kong family's army.

Now, Kong Yanzhou's main force has been completely defeated, and only two or three thousand men and horses have fled back to Qichun, and the army is depressed and has no fighting spirit, and this Kong Xian is useless to take it.

If someone else was him, Wang Shen, he would have been cut down with a knife. However, no matter how you think about it, I feel that this is an insignificant character, taking advantage of him so much, and I am embarrassed to turn this face!

Gu Lie's roar came from afar: "Are you an archer, reply?" ”

looked closely, but saw Gu Lie dragging a tall captive to the ground with a hideous face.

The captive trembled with fright: "Go back...... If you go back to the master, I don't want to ......."

"Open your palms!" slapped it over, and Gu Lie's scolding became louder: "Dare to lie to grandpa, look at your thumb, the straight lady thief is all cocoons, naturally it is sharpened when the string is pulled." And your left arm, thick like a bird. Your shoulders are high and low, and your spine is bent, you must be an archer, and you can't hide it. Come out and stand still! ”

The captive was already scared by Gu Lie, and cried: "Grandpa spares his life, grandpa spares his life, the little one who opens his bow and arrows is also obedient to orders, and he will never dare again!" ”

It turned out that in the previous war, most of the soldiers killed and wounded by the Sizhou army were the hands of Kong Yanzhou's archers, which was also the only means of counterattack by the Kong army.

"Sure enough, it's you, who the hell is going to kill you. You stand up straight for Lao Tzu, and you will be my archer to break the enemy army in the future, be honest! Gu Lie grinned happily when he saw this tall archer. Archer training is not easy, the archers of the Kong family army are all treasures, so they naturally have to try their best to get into their arms, if they are one step late, they must not be snatched by others.

"Straight lady thief, Gu Lie, this group of captives was captured by Lao Tzu, and your hands have grown a little, and they have all reached out to me?" Several people ran over, led by Wu Xianxian, the commander of the Shengjie Army, and Wu Tuo, the deputy commander.

Seeing that Gu Lie came to choose prisoners by himself, Wu Xianxian was anxious.
