Chapter 99 Eight Immortals Cross the Sea to Show Their Magical Powers, and the World Controversy is on My Side (4)

Early in the morning, Dai Siyuan led the 5,000 river horse army assembled in Licheng and hundreds of tigers and wolves under his command to go out of the city and march to the east. Scouts are released from afar, monitoring the movement of various roads. Although Dai Siyuan was very sure that if the vanguard army of Li Siyuan and his son wanted to go west, they would basically only take this route, but this did not prevent him from making a cautious layout. According to Dai Siyuan's calculations, if there is no accident, then the two armies will meet on the road around noon. And it was at that time that the army of Li Siyuan's father and son was defeated in one fell swoop.

Dai Siyuan has long been known as a good general, because if he wins this battle, it cannot be said that he is famous, but Dai Siyuan knows in his heart that after the victory of the war, he will be among the world's famous generals, making the world's heroes look sideways. Because for the Liang army, now that all parts of the country are tight, the Tang army is driving straight in, and almost no one can stop its horses' hooves, and the Liang Dynasty and the opposition are wailing, thinking that the death of the country is imminent, and no one can defeat Li Yazi. But Dai Siyuan only used 1,000 remnants, a team with almost no logistical supplies, and a group of new soldiers some time ago, which dragged down the vanguard of the Tang army, and even defeated it in one fell swoop, giving the unstoppable Tang army a blow to the head. Such military strategies and achievements are enough for him to draw a strong stroke in the history of the Liang Dynasty's conquests.

As a general, he should rely on the victory of the battlefield to fight for a feudal.

"The leopard dies and leaves its skin, and the man dies and leaves his name. General Wang, your words have expressed the true meaning of life! Dai Siyuan glanced back at the long marching team behind him, and sighed silently in his heart.

Retracting his thoughts, he concentrated on looking ahead, and the occasional reports of the scouts allowed him to grasp the whereabouts of the vanguard of the Tang Army.

The plain has a wide field of vision, and when it was nearly noon, the shadow of the Tang Army appeared in Dai Siyuan's eyes. According to rough estimates, the distance between the two sides is already less than ten miles.

"General, the Tang Army is right in front of you, please give an order!" Junior Colonel Liu Daogui said with a hot look in his eyes.

Dai Siyuan raised his hand, "Order: The army is in formation!" The generals have come to receive their orders! ”

The large array of more than 5,000 people in the marching formation gradually converged and gathered as the order flag waved, shrank to the middle, and slowly formed a phalanx. The number will come from all directions, and listen to Dai Siyuan's orders. The herald of the army usually takes the command flag and the herald immediately, and at this time, Dai Siyuan summoned the generals to the front, one is because the generals are not familiar, he has to explain clearly, and the other is to explain the situation to the generals. Although the same thing was said by him during the military meeting yesterday. But to be on the battlefield without making mistakes, it is the duty of the commander to repeat the order, and everyone must be able to understand the intention and implement it strictly after saying it once, which is unrealistic in most cases, because most people are mediocre.

Dai Siyuan pointed to the vanguard army of the Tang Army, which was also assembling the army and opening the formation, and said to the generals: "Last night, the general told the generals that the 10,000 Tang Army has 5,000 horse troops and 5,000 foot soldiers, and 3,000 of the horse army are the gentlemen under Li Congjing, and 2,000 are the left shooting troops under Li Siyuan, all of which are elite for a while; The commander of the 5,000 infantry is Li Shaorong - often has victories, but he should not be underestimated. But the general also said that the 10,000 Tang troops came from afar, not to mention how much sharpness they had spent on the road, and the thousands of sons and daughters under the command of the general had already tortured them for three days with the art of disturbing the enemy with their travelogues. In the past three days, they have not been able to march safely, let alone sleep peacefully, and now their eyes are swollen like peaches, and it is rare to be able to march reluctantly. This is something that the generals should know well if they follow the scouts to investigate. ”

A captain of the Horse Military Academy on the river nodded and said: "The last general has been seen with the scouts, and it is true, these Tang soldiers are sick, as if a gust of wind can blow them down." Such an army, not to mention that there are 10,000 people in the air, even if there are 10,000 more, it is also a commodity that will be scattered as soon as it is beaten, and it is easy to kill as many as you want! After speaking, he didn't forget to hug his fist to Dai Siyuan, "General Dai's soldiers are indeed clever." ”

Dai Siyuan didn't have much of a relaxed look, as serious as ever, he continued: "Summoning you, what I want to explain is nothing more than two points. First, the Tang army on the opposite side has become the end of a strong crossbow, and a strong attack can be won in one fell swoop; Second, there are many heroic people in the left shooting army of gentlemen, Li Siyuan and Li Congjing father and son are the best generals in a hundred, if they are dying and struggling, they also have some might, and the generals need to be prepared to gnaw hard bones! ”

General Liang on the river hurriedly shouted: "General Dai, I know all this very well, you can quickly give the order, damn it, Lao Tzu is very hot, I can't wait to pick Li Congjing's head and relieve General Duan's hatred!" ”

Dai Siyuan paused for a moment, and said awe-inspiringly: "Our army is all horse army, if it comes out, the Tang army will reject it with horse army." If the cavalry battle is won, the Tang army will be chaotic, and the Tang army's foot soldiers will be slaughtered like pigs and dogs, and if the cavalry battle is not won, our army will be defeated! The generals will listen to the order, the phalanx will meet the enemy, General Ma, let you be the vanguard and lead the troops to break the formation! ”

Ma Zuoxian was the general who was clamoring to take Li Congjing's head, and when he got the order, he looked excited.

After the generals retreated, Dai Siyuan called Liu Daogui and whispered to him: "If the Tang army resists strongly, you take the sons of the headquarters and hide in the formation, don't do anything else, but seek an opportunity to hunt and kill Li Siyuan, Li Congjing, and Li Shaorong!" ”

Liu Daogui happily accepted the order.

After the marches of the various divisions, the army formation approached the Tang army. The Liang army on the river is all elite, and the military appearance is naturally not comparable to the ordinary Liang army, whether it is the armor and sword soldiers shining in the sun, or the neat military formation, it can bring people a lot of visual impact.

Dai Siyuan's originally calm face slowly changed as Liang Jun gradually approached Tang Jun. Especially when he saw the military formation where Tang Jun tried his best to behave strictly, but in fact his spirit was relaxed, the muscles on Dai Siyuan's face were like waves of water, stretching out, and in the end, although there was no laughter, there was already a strong smile on his face. This smile was extremely bloodthirsty and extremely crazy, he was like a man who had not eaten meat for a year, and suddenly saw that there were yellow pig's trotters in front of him, and his eyes flashed with an unconcealable light, and he couldn't wait to pounce on it and bite it happily.

He'd been suppressed for too long, and he'd been under pressure he could barely bear.

The general, with a withered face, picked up the horse lance, pinched the horse's belly, and led him to turn the tables with the capital that he could turn over, and started the last fight on the gambling table.

Cavalry is the natural enemy of infantry, especially in the flat and vast plains, and after Dai Siyuan led the formation close to the Tang army, it was not surprising that he found that the cavalry of the Tang army swept from both flanks.

"Victory or defeat, life and death, fame, in one fell swoop. Kill! Dai Siyuan let out a loud roar in a pitched voice, and the guards around him took the lead in the Tang cavalry formation.

He had a hideous face, grinned teeth, and waved the long lance in his hand impenetrably, slashing left and right in the Tang cavalry formation. One by one, the invincible Tang rode in front of him, like a powerless lamb, and he picked him off the horse one after another. In the tight military formation, swords, guns, swords, halberds formed an impermeable net that divided life and death, the flower of life bloomed and withered, and he had already killed more than a dozen Tang cavalry in less than ten steps.

"Kill!" Dai Siyuan's eyes were red, bloodshot eyes, and his eyes were bulging, which made people look at it at first glance, and in addition to being shocked, they would also worry about whether his eyeballs would suddenly pop out of their sockets.

The Liang army made rapid progress, although the Tang army in front of them tried to block desperately, but their movements were too slow, the strength was too small, and the cooperation was full of loopholes.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Dai Siyuan and his own soldiers were more vicious than hungry wolves, and when they swung their knives at the Tang army, they worked harder than their old enemies. There is no life and death in their hearts, only victory and defeat, only killing. The Tang army, which was trying to fight in front of them, gradually became unable to resist.

After only fighting for a while, Tang Qi suffered hundreds of casualties, and they finally lost their foothold and began to retreat in a hurry.

With this withdrawal, the formation is more chaotic and the defeat is more obvious. In the retreating cavalry group of the Tang Army, Dai Siyuan seemed to see the figure of Li Congjing and Zhang Huang.

"Haha, Li Congjing, you also have today!" Dai Siyuan laughed, his laughter was wanton and arrogant, as if he had never laughed so happily in his life.

"Chase, not a single Tang army will be spared!" Dai Siyuan pointed forward with a long lance and slapped the horse forward. The guards around him shouted the slogan of leaving no armor behind, and their momentum was high. Stimulated by this good situation, the Liang army on the river also pressed forward in a big way, chasing the Tang army forward to kill.

In less than half an hour, the Tang cavalry had collapsed, and they scattered to the two wings, and the large array of foot soldiers in the middle was immediately exposed by them. There, there were five thousand panicked foot soldiers, and at this time, the large infantry formation collapsed before the battle, revealing a large gap.

The cavalry is fast, the infantry is slow, and Dai Siyuan naturally knows how to expand the results. The infantry is the main force in the siege of the city, he did not hesitate, pointed at the Tang army's infantry formation, and shouted the order: "Break the Tang army's infantry formation!" ”

It didn't take much effort, and the Liang army, which was smooth sailing, attacked the Tang army's infantry formation. The Tang army's infantry formation barely resisted for a while, the Chinese army could not hold it at first, and a large area of the Tang army retreated, and it was extremely empty in a short time. This did not escape the eyes of the Liang army, and they immediately rushed into the middle of the Tang army's infantry army.

Along the way, there have been hundreds of Tang troops who died under the Liang army-knife. Corpses were strewn all over the place, and their condition was horrible.

Liang Cai, who rushed into the Tang Army's infantry formation, rushed violently, and instantly broke into a hundred and ten steps. In order to prevent accidents, although Dai Siyuan's main force was in the middle of the foot, there were still many Liang troops pursuing Tang Cavalry on both flanks.

In order to compete for military merits, Ma Zuoxian has completely let go of his hands and feet, and rushed to the forefront of the Tang Army's infantry formation, and has already rushed through a hundred steps. Around them, there were no Don troops capable of resisting.

"Make a contribution, right now!" Ma Zuoxian rose up, raised his arms and shouted, in his hands, there were already a lot of Tang military lives, but his subordinates' military merits were still less, which made him a little anxious, such a good situation can not be encountered every day, this is no different from picking up military merits, in order to "stand out" in the five thousand Liang cavalry, he urged his subordinates to speed up.

The Tang army in front of him suddenly retreated to the two wings.

Behind them, there was a pile of sackcloth covered in sackcloth, and the retreating Tang Army foot soldiers tore away the numbness, revealing the sharp-edged knife carts inside! These knife carts are nearly zhang long, five feet wide, and more than seven feet high, and they are five in a row and three in a row, in a formation. The sharp wooden tip shivers in the sun.

Ma Zuoxian was shocked, and immediately pulled the reins of the horse wildly, shouting: "Assault left and right, avoid the knife car!" ”

At this time, he found that on both sides of them, the Tang soldiers, who had been unable to form a formation, withdrew and revealed the tall heavy shield behind them. The heavy shield was eight feet high, more than three inches thick, and it was arranged together, impermeable to the wind, and approached. There were holes in the heavy shields, and spears pierced out of the holes, straight into the bodies of horses and knights!

The originally panicked infantry formation, the front formation was abandoned, the front formation sergeants retreated into the second formation, the second formation became the front formation, and in the blink of an eye, it became orderly. The great array is tight, like a wall like a fortress, and the spear is like a forest. The whole large array overlooks it, like a well field. Liang Qi in the well field has gone deep into the quagmire.

On both flanks of the large array, after the defeated gentlemen and the left archery army withdrew, half of the cavalry hidden behind the large array rushed out and met the pursuing Liang cavalry. And the defeated Tang cavalry made a big turn, came back from the left and right flanks, and took the entire battlefield into his arms.

Behind the Tang Army's infantry formation, there is a watchtower. Looking upstairs, Mo Li looked at the battlefield with the sun on his head, his face calm. Gently shaking the folding fan, he gently spat out four words.

"Jun has entered the urn."
