Chapter 578: Battle 2
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them! In the formation of the Tang army, there was a terrible roar.
Suddenly, the rain of arrows flew sideways, coming towards the army formation.
Zhao Xun bowed his head and blocked the shield in his hand before the horse's head, and the cavalry behind him also did the same, rushing towards the Tang army without slowing down.
The sound of arrows hitting the shield was accompanied by the neighing of the horses. But except for two or three who fell off their horses, only a few of the rest of the soldiers were slightly injured, and the rest were not unusual, but because the horses were hit by arrows, they ran faster and faster.
"Die!"
Just waiting for the other party's arrow rain to shoot twice, Zhao Xun had already arrived in front of the enemy camp. Zhao Xun slammed out the square shield with his left hand, knocking the two shield soldiers to the ground. Immediately, the spear in his right hand poked out like lightning, and in an instant, like a silver snake dance, it pointed forward several times.
"Puff puff ......"
Zhao Xun rode by, and four sword and shield soldiers died. The eyes of the four of them were wide open, and they didn't expect that this young man would act so quickly.
Zhao Xun flashed by, and several guards around him followed, killing the Tang troops on both sides, and then a small gap began to appear in the defense line of the newly attached saber and shield soldiers, and then it was rushed away by the cavalry in the rear, and it became bigger and bigger.
"Thief, die!"
When an officer saw Zhao Xun kill several of his subordinates, his eyes suddenly widened with anger, and he shouted violently, and the steel knife in his hand slashed the horse's legs, trying to cut the other party off the horse.
"Just you?" Zhao Xun sneered, and the spear came obliquely with a whistling sound.
"Dang!"
Qingyue's gold and iron resounded in the sky, and the newly attached officer's hands were numb, and the steel knife in his hand came out of his hand. But the speed of the spear in Zhao Xun's hand did not decrease, and the residual momentum was still weak, and it swept over the officer's shoulder fiercely, and the blood splashed, and one of the officer's heads burst open like a rotten watermelon, and the red and white liquid sprayed in all directions, making the surrounding new sergeants stunned.
"Uhh......h
A terrible scream came from the ground, and Zhao Xun didn't have to look down to know that it was the soldier who had been smashed by himself before that he had been trampled under the horse's hooves by his mount, and the sound of bones shattering clearly came into his ears, and he knew that even if this unlucky child left his life, it was better to live than to die.
"Boy, die!"
"Kill!"
Two hoarse howls came from the left and right sides at the same time, and the two cold spears went straight to Zhao Xun's left and right chests like poisonous snakes, and the sharp tips of the spears were already close at hand! They were two sturdy soldiers, the expressions on their faces were extremely distorted, and their eyes flashed with crazy flames, no different from the devil, either you die or I die.
"Boom ......" The two crisp sounds were accompanied by two spurting columns of blood.
Suddenly, Zhao Xun beheaded more than ten people in a row, and had already penetrated the military formation of the newly attached saber and shield soldiers and the Tang army's pikemen. When the time was empty, what appeared in front of him was the archers of the Tang Army.
Looking back, the soldiers under his command also flocked out, and the Tang army's military formation was like a sand bank broken by a big wave, with gaps everywhere, and it was no longer possible to stop the spread of the big wave.
Zhao Xun rode his horse and waved his spear, running at the front of the cavalry array, the earth red because of blood retreated like a tide from under him, the Tang army's archer array was like a sheep to be slaughtered, slowly unfolding in front of him, Zhao Xun grinned and roared, and the cold murderous intent poured out of his eyes, and in Yanzhou, where the archers were behind, he saw fear...... And in the eyes of the soldiers around him, he saw excitement and pride......
That's what you want! The corporal is to grow up like this, without any mental pressure.
"Brothers, kill them for me!"
Zhao Xun waved his spear, shouted, and rode his horse hard, the war horse neighed sadly, and moved forward quickly, the spear in Zhao Xun's hand was like a silver fine jiao, stretching out silver minions.
"Poof......
Blood splashed, and before a Tang Army archer could change into the Pu knife on his body, he had already let out a miserable scream, and the whole had been pierced.
Behind Zhao Xun, more and more soldiers came out of the army and rushed to kill. And the cavalry was even more unstoppable, like the waves of the sea, and pressed down with the force of the sky.
"Boom ......"
Hundreds of cavalry with a strong inertia, like a monstrous wave, overwhelmingly covered, and in an instant the poor Han archers were drowned, dozens of archers did not react at all, they were knocked away by the rapidly approaching war horses, and fell several meters away. Hundreds of sharp long knives slashed down mercilessly, drawing an eerie arc in the air, and the cold light shone in the sun. Suddenly, a continuous stream of screams burst into the night, and the blood-spattered archers who were powerless to resist were splashed on the spot, wailing and rolling down the dust.
In the rear of the Tang army, behind the archers, the four Qu Chang under the escort of more than 100 soldiers turned blue. The strength of this army has exceeded their imagination. In particular, the young general and the more than 50 people around him were like unstoppable crossbow losses, breaking through their own defense line in one fell swoop, causing the morale of their soldiers to plummet, and the army formation dispersed at once. Then he was defeated by the government sergeants, and the defeat was a mess.
"What to do? How can this be? Lin Ju said with a pale face.
It's not that they haven't thought about escaping, but they know that even if they don't track it down, they have to be able to escape. Now in this situation, it is obvious that they can't do it, the other side has a powerful army, and there are cavalry in their hands, how can they escape?
"Needless to say, fight to the death! Even if it is death, it is better than being caught, think about your own family, if you die with the enemy, they can also end up benefiting. Huang Xu pulled out his waist knife and said coldly.
Li Guochang slashed hard and slashed heavily on the shield of a Tang Army. The wooden shield exploded in an instant, and when the Tang sergeant was stunned, Li Guochang's steel knife had already spun around, and it slashed lightly through his neck, and in the fierce blood splashing, a head had already been thrown in the air. After Li Guochang killed the enemy, he turned back suddenly, only to see that more than 2,000 soldiers behind him had already defeated the front army's formation, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and launched a merciless slaughter of the archers in the rear formation.
Huang Xu rode his horse at a gallop, rushed into the rear, and roared fiercely with his sword: "Brothers, today, either they die or we die. Even if you die, you will die on the battlefield, and on another day, our army will come and avenge us. When you fight to the death, your family members can also enjoy peace and care, and you will have no worries about food and clothing. Fight with this group of thieves......"
"Spelled ......"
The garrison soldiers of the Tang Army in the rear army responded one after another, their eyes were red, they waved the weapons in their hands, and launched a crazy counterattack against the soldiers of the palace, and the situation that was about to collapse turned into a melee again.
Captain Lu Yu, who rushed out from behind, looked at the enemy officer who was waving his knife and shouting angrily, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and an iron-tired bow quietly came to his hand.
"Whew......"
With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, Huang Xu's body slammed down, and then lowered his head and stared at his chest, only to see a piece of arrow Ling trembling slightly in his chest, Huang Xu struggled to raise his right arm, pointing forward stubbornly, red blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, anger receded from his body like a tide, and his originally bright eyes gradually dimmed.
"Uh......"
"Puff ......"
Huang Xu sighed softly, the divine light in his eyes gradually dissipated, his body became weak, and he fell off the horse weakly, and then was covered by the soldiers who rushed to kill.
Ling Yi Tang Army Qu Chang was also ready to shoot the young enemy officers who rushed from the opposite side with cold arrows. Bent his bow and arrow, pointing directly at the invincible young cavalry officer in his own camp.
"Die!"
Tang Jun Qu Chang snorted coldly, let go of the longbow in his hand, and the arrows flew out.
As soon as Zhao Xun killed a Tang sergeant, he felt that there was something wrong on the right side, and immediately shot out a spear.
"Tweet ......"
Sparks flickered, and arrows were flown by spears.
"Damn it......" Zhao Xun shouted angrily. The spear stabbed diagonally again, killing the first Tang sergeant, picking up the long knife that fell in his hand, reaching out to take it, and quickly throwing it out in the air.
When Tang Junqu saw that his arrow was hit by the other party's spear, he was immediately shocked and inexplicable, and then he felt a black shadow shoot out. Before I could dodge, I felt a cold texture swept through my chest......
"Kill ......"
Seeing that the other three Qu Chang were all killed, Qu Changlin Ju brandished his long knife, looking like crazy, howling fiercely, and rushed forward on his horse, trying to fight the trapped beast.
Guan Lin Tower-like figure, riding on a horse like flying, coldly greeted Lin Opera.
"Haha...... The last one is mine. Guan Lin laughed and swung his knife to meet him.
"When ......"
Lin Ju's long knife slashed at Guan Lin's long knife diagonally, making a crisp sound, and a huge shock force came. Lin Ju felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and the long knife in his hand had already flown away, and a dazzling arc was slashed from the air, and it stabbed into the chest of an unlucky soldier behind him.
"It's boring, it's ...... like a girl" hung up a sneer, and then roared: "Go die......"
With a loud shout, with a flick of his left hand, Lin Opera had already lifted Lin Opera from the horse's back, Lin Opera was in the air, Guan Lin's long knife had been stabbed between his chest and abdomen like a storm, and in this short moment since the sky landed, Guan Lin stabbed at least dozens of knives, and Lin Opera's chest and abdomen were already blurred with flesh and blood.
"This guy is crazy...... Crazy man......" Fear flashed in the eyes of the guards beside Lin Ju, and they exclaimed in surprise while retreating.
Zhao Xun suddenly felt that his eyes were empty, and when he looked up, he saw that there was no enemy in his field of vision, and it turned out that he had already killed the enemy army. Looking back at the killing field, the flames of war have been extinguished, and only a small number of places still have sporadic battles. In this battle, the government army won completely!
Guan Lin wiped away the blood stains on his face, walked up to Zhao Xun with a long knife in his hand, and laughed loudly: "General, we won." Fight head-on and win! ”
Zhao Xunsen smiled and said in a deep voice: "Yes, fight head-on, win!" Tang Jun, but that's it! ”
Lu Yu and Li Guochang also came over and laughed: "We won, we won!" Haha......"
Zhao Xun knew that they were venting, venting their defeat last time with more battles and less. In this battle, they won the battle in a bright and bright way, impeccable.
"We won!"
Guan Lin raised his arms and howled.
"Win!"
Lu Yu and Li Guochang also roared.
"Win!"
"Win!"
The soldiers roared like a volcanic eruption, and the roar of thunder reverberated over the empty city for a long time. Countless people were silent on the city wall, and then an earth-shattering roar erupted.
…………
"Captain Zhang, how is the situation in the city now?" Ye Xuan reluctantly got off the ground and asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Ting had a bitter look on his face and said: "What else, for two days in a row, I kept attacking the city with the new annex army." I don't know if General Li provoked them, and they desperately began to attack the city. But fortunately, until now, it has been the new annex army that is attacking the city, and the Tang army headquarters has not appeared. ”
Ye Xuan's face sank, and he shook his head and said, "My feelings are just the opposite of yours, I'm just afraid that the situation is a little bad." He is using cannon fodder to drain our strength in order to reduce the losses of the Tang Army headquarters when attacking the city. Of course, it is also possible that it was to provoke General Li to appear. After all, there is a group of troops in the hidden places around them, which also makes it difficult for them to sleep. ”
Zhang Ting smiled bitterly: "I don't know what General Li is doing?" There is no news yet, will it be ......"
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "You mean he fled?" No! If he really fled, he wouldn't have come alone. Didn't he know what was going on here? Obviously, he knew the danger here, but he came anyway. I guess he must have some idea of his own. What we have to do now is to defend the city and wait for General Lee's goal to be achieved. Suddenly, in his mind, Li Feng's actions in Juye City flashed again, and he acted decisively and ruthlessly, killing him with one blow. Come to think of it, there must be something great about this time.
"I hope so!" Zhang Ting said with a wry smile.
…………
Don army battalion.
"General Qiyu, our army's existing arrows are no longer sufficient, and the archers are also insufficient." Captain Yuan Li reported in a deep voice.
"So we can't do a big siege?" Meng Zhao rubbed his eyebrows a little irritably, and said in a muffled voice.
"That's true, even if it's cannon fodder, without the cover of archers, the siege of the city can only be sent to death, and it can't put a little pressure on the defenders of the city. In addition, the weapons of our soldiers were also very bad, and the bowstrings prepared by many soldiers had been used up. In addition, the long knives, shields, and spears in the hands of many soldiers were not lightly damaged and were not replenished. Yuan Li continued.
"Damn! Quartermasters in the rear, how long will it take to arrive? Meng Zhao said angrily.
"Three days for full, two days for fast!"
"No, three days is too late, it must be two days. Send it to the rear, and transport this batch of materials as quickly as possible. If this city is not down, we are ready to go south to Sanyang Mansion. I also want to see how powerful Sanyang Mansion really is. Meng Zhao said angrily.
"General, if this city is not down, our flanks will not be peaceful, it is really a bit ......," Commander Wumeng hurriedly persuaded.
"You think General Ben doesn't know? But we don't have time. Xu Jie, that old miscellaneous hair, is about to act, and we must arrive according to the reality. Got it? Damn the Xiaoguo Army, they are all them, otherwise, we would not have ended up where we are now. Umeng, give me increased training for the new annexes. General Ben found out today that these new annexes were beginning to retreat as they attacked the city. Meng Zhao said sharply.
Umon could only be, but smiled bitterly in his heart. You've been sending the new annexes to their deaths in a row, and it's no wonder if they're still so honest. However, it is better to let the new annex die than to let his subordinates die.
"By the way, is there any news about the government army? They wandered to the rear of the road, and it was impossible not to move at all. As soon as Meng Zhao thought of this group of government soldiers who had plotted his own move, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"I don't know yet, general, will they not go to the rear at all, but flee back to Shanyang Mansion. Otherwise, it's been three days, why is the target just finding a place fifty miles to the north, and then there is no trace. Umeng said with some uncertainty. The following news is only obtained from the third checkpoint fifty miles to the north, and there is no news at the subsequent checkpoints. And it was the second day, not the third day, and now, it's the fourth day.
Meng Zhao shook his head and said, "Them, it's not that simple, I always feel a little bad." If it weren't for the fact that they were few people, General Ben would have doubted that they would have gone to the rear to attack the city. ”
Regardless of the place of battle, now, Siyang City has indeed fallen into the hands of Zhao Xun, but this place is not a place to stay for a long time. Zhao Xun didn't have the idea of letting the people here pay for themselves, and immediately after the victory of the war, the news that the Tang army was about to besiege and the government army was about to go south was announced.
"What about the casualties?" Seeing Lu Yu coming in, Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice.
"Three thousand soldiers went into battle, eight hundred were killed, and countless were wounded. Among them, there are 500 cavalry, and now there are more than 330 people, and there are only 300 new soldiers. The enemy, the whole army was killed. Lu Yu said in a deep voice.
"Cremate the corpses of the soldiers and bury them in the right place! All wounded soldiers must be properly accommodated. By the way, the doctors in the city, as long as it is convenient to move, bring it, we can use this! Zhao Xun said in a sullen voice. The losses were still within his acceptable range, but the losses of the baby cavalry were a little painful. He also knew that if it weren't for the cavalry charging into battle, the losses would have been even greater. Tang Jun, after all, is Tang Jun.
"The whole army, the new people who join the army are put in order, you don't need too many, 5,000 people are enough, too many, the target is too big, the movement is inconvenient, and logistics are also a problem." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"That'...... It's a pity that many of the people who asked to join our army were homeless, and they had no scruples and lost their lives. Lu Yu said with emotion. He also knows that there are too many people, and there are indeed disadvantages.
"Let me think about it!" Zhao Xun rubbed his eyebrows and said.
"General, let's leave them all, I have seen it, add up, seven or eight thousand people! I have an idea to occupy this city. Guan Lin said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Lu Yu, Li Guochang, and Qin Xiao couldn't help but shake their heads, if it wasn't for the heavy encirclement of the enemy here, they could also think about it, but now, obviously, this is impossible. Besides, this robbed the front army of what was provided, and the right general of the Tang Army in front of him was afraid that he was going crazy. They dare to assure that below, waiting for them, is more pursuers, more fierce attacks, and killings.
