Chapter 287: Defeated

The drum remembered, and the two camps immediately launched an attack formation.

This battle was related to Zheng Jin's status and fame inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, and he had to act cautiously.

He decided to test the combat strength of the peasant army first, so he said to the generals under his command: "This battle depends on everyone, and now the strength of the thief army is strong, not much inferior to ours." A certain person wants to send a brave general to attack the thief army first, so that he can see how the thief army is doing. I wonder which military envoy is willing to be this vanguard? ”

Tang Hongfu, Qiu Gongyu, Cheng Zongchu and others immediately stood in front of Zheng Zheng with their fists clenched, and said in unison: "A certain respectful Zheng Envoy Jun's military order, work together to fight the thieves, and help the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Zheng Jin looked at the loud slogans spoken by everyone, but he was not too interested in going out first as a stepping stone. And they are all guest troops, although Zheng Zheng has the right of moderation, but he does not have the majesty of moderation.

The warlords came here to fight to improve their military merits, so if they want to devote their lives to their lives, it will not be possible to do it under any circumstances.

Helplessly, Zheng Zheng said to his son Zheng Ningji: "Let's take Zheng Zhiya as the vanguard in this battle!" ”

Zheng Ningji's men took away more than 10,000 military horses, all of whom were elite soldiers in Fengxiang's army.

Now that Zheng Jin is the head coach, if others don't sell his face, his son has to give his son a step down, otherwise Zheng Jin's face will be lost.

Zheng Ningji clasped his fists and gave a military salute, then went out of the tent and went straight to the military formation under his command.

When he arrived at the front of the battle, Zheng Ningji waved his hand at the guards and shouted: "This time, the right army of the front battalion will fight first, and the left army will support in the rear. Let's go and meet those thieves first, and remember not to fall into the military prestige of our Fengxiang army! ”

Tang Yeting, the commander of the right army of the former battalion, is a son of the Fengxiang Wang clan, and this time he came with him in addition to the lintel of the Fengxiang Tang clan, and he himself is also a skilled military general with bows and horses.

Tang Yeting hugged his fists and saluted, "Hold the Ya and relax, a certain military order is here, if you can't win and come back, a certain family will give the head to the Ya as a stool to sit on." ”

Zheng Ningji laughed: "Okay, write down your head first, let's go!" ”

Tang Yeting bowed his chest and belly again, turned around and got on the horse, and sat on the horse, still hoping to give Xue Daliang, the commander of the left army, a smug expression.

Xue Daliang, like him, is also from the Fengxiang indigenous clan, and the two families of Xue and Tang have been fighting for a long time, so after participating in the Fengxiang Army, the two juniors did not forget to fight.

Xue Daliang was annoyed when he saw Tang Yeting like this, and then whispered: "The villain has a will!" ”

There was also a white-faced eunuch behind Xue Daliang, he saw Xue Daliang like this, so he slowly came to Xue Daliang's side, "Commander Xue, don't worry, the things on this battlefield are the most difficult to say, who can have the last laugh is really strong." ”

After Xue Daliang saw this white-faced little eunuch, the resentment on his face was swept away. He said politely: "Commander Yang is wise, you are right, you are too petty." ”

Yang Gan laughed: "Don't be polite, a certain family learned from a certain king." No matter how beautiful he says, but he fights like a straw bag, then naturally everyone will not look at him. Okay, let's keep up, and we'll be able to prove who's strong and who's weak. ”

Xue nodded his head, then respectfully asked Yang Gan to go first, and then waved his army to follow the military formation of the right army in the front camp slowly.

Zheng Ningji, like his father Zheng Jin, is a Wenchen, and he is not good at leading the army to charge into battle, but Wenchen can understand military affairs.

Zheng Ningji walked slowly behind the military formation, and the opponent's military formation slowly approached. After reaching a flat place, the two armies invariably paused, and the vanguard of the two armies could already be seen from afar.

Zheng Ningji looked up at the sky, the morning sun in the sky was red, and if he saw too much, he would be dizzy, and there would be a short loss of color in his eyes, and Ali was all blood red.

Shang Rang looked at the opposite military formation in his own camp and asked, "Who led the vanguard of the other side?" ”

The left and right generals replied: "Look at the banner is Zheng, and Zheng Zheng is the commander in the second battle, so it will not be him who leads, but his son is the Fengxiang Town Guard, and it is estimated that this time the vanguard of the official army should be this person." ”

Shang Rang listened to his subordinates' orders and laughed, and he didn't know why he was laughing, but Shang Taiwei laughed, how could they not laugh?

So the generals of the peasant army's western expeditionary army all laughed from Shang Rang to the bottom.

The scene of a group of people laughing so loudly as they were about to fight was quite eerie. Shang Rang's personal guards were all surprised, could it be that these high-ranking officials were crazy?

But fortunately, Shang Rang's madness did not last long, and after he stopped laughing, he said proudly: "This Zheng father and son are really straw bales, they dare to provoke my Great Qi Tianwei, and gather a few border towns in a vain attempt to counterattack Chang'an, which is really beyond their strength." ”

Speaking of this, Shang Rang's generals understood why the captain laughed, so a group of people touched the sweat on their foreheads, and praised Shang Rang in unison for seeing it thoroughly and far-reaching.

So in hindsight, Zhuge Liang immediately gave full play to his strengths and said: "This Zheng Ji has no prestige, although he has a heavy army, no one buys his account, so he can only send his son as a vanguard to save face." ”

When everyone heard this, they all praised the reason, and congratulated Shang Rang one after another, and this battle will be won.

Shang Rang is surrounded by a group of sycophants, how can Meng not be fluttering? So Taiwei Shang, who was full of red light, waved his hand and said, "Which of you is going to level this Zheng Ya for a certain person?" ”

At this time, the enemy on the opposite side is a straw bale, who doesn't want to make a first contribution? So you pushed me and struggled to take the lead. In the blink of an eye, the high-ranking generals of the peasant army collectively transformed from neurotic to vegetable market aunts.

In the end, Shang Rang selected Ma Sandan, who was the loudest in the sycophant, as the pioneer envoy and went to face Zheng Ningji.

Although Ma Sandan's name is not very good, he has real skills, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the middle-level position of the commander of the first battalion of the peasant army.

Judging from the high-level of the Huang Chao Army, this team is all-encompassing, including down-and-out literati like Huang Chao, Zhao Zhang, and Shang Rang, as well as local ruffians and hooligans like Zhu Wen, Huo Cun, and Ma Sandan, as well as people with high aspirations like Chai Cun.

Datang is still the orthodox of the world under the current situation, and more people still think that Datang is orthodox in the world.

Although they rebelled because of stubborn emperors like Yizong and Xizong, the peasant army still called Zheng Jin's army an official army, which shows that they still subconsciously regard themselves as Tang people, and the soul of the Tang Dynasty has penetrated into the bone marrow of every Tang person.

It is this sense of pride that makes future generations of descendants always proud of the Tang people.

Ma Sandan was carrying a horse lance, looking at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, he muttered a little in his heart, didn't he say that Zheng Ningji was a civilian official, how could he train the soldiers to be so spirited?

However, he muttered, after all, he had already obtained the general order, and he still had to fight what he should fight, maybe this soldier trained by Zheng Ningji was a silver-like wax spear.

Ma Sandan waved the horse lance and shouted to his subordinates: "It's time for the sons and daughters to sell their lives, if you have eggs, you will rush to Lao Tzu, and you are not allowed to be a turtle with a shrunken head, otherwise you will blame Lao Tzu for the ruthlessness of the horse lance in his hands!" ”

The peasant army shouted and shouted foul language against the officers and soldiers, and then picked up all kinds of weapons and began to rush en masse.

Tang Yeting was in a good mood when he saw that the enemy on the opposite side was so scattered, and then shouted to his subordinates: "Prepare the archers, and the sword and shield men will charge with a certain one!" ”

After speaking, Tang Yeting took the lead and went straight to the front of Ma Sandan's soldiers.

Tang Yeting's crotch was a Western domain horse, which was extremely explosive, so he rushed out alone, and the guards behind him couldn't keep up.

Tang Yeting, who was single-handed, was like a quick arrow, and he was extremely eye-catching between the two armies at war. Ma Sandan was even more excited, he hadn't seen such a reckless opponent for a long time, it was really lonely!

After sighing, Ma Sandan kicked the horse's belly and went straight to Tang Yeting, he made up his mind to entangle this high-profile guy first, and then his sons could kill the officers and soldiers.

Tang Yeting took a look

Someone came straight at him, he immediately picked up the bow and arrow and shot at the comer, Ma Sandan saw the bow and arrow shooting, immediately took the horse lance and swung away, and continued to rush straight at Tang Yeting.

After a while, the two galloped against each other, and after the fight, both of them knew that they had met a strong opponent.

However, Tang Yeting knew his mission, he did not fight with Ma Sandan, and continued to beat the horse and gallop behind the peasant army.

Tang Yeting's tactics made Ma Sandan extremely stunned, is this enemy general stupid? Trying to rush into one's own army with one's own strength?

However, the horse under his crotch is more than a step behind his horse, forget it, let him go, and the rear army can trap this guy.

However, Tang Yeting has his own ideas, his archery skills are very good, and he can basically achieve the void of arrows. His horse is fast, so if he shoots an arrow, someone will fall to the ground.

It was delusional for the peasant army to chase him, and it was even more vain to shoot him with arrows, and his armor was heavy iron armor, and even his horse had conjoined iron armor.

Ma Sandan had just overturned two officers and soldiers with a horse lance, but unexpectedly, his subordinates reported that his team was about to be defeated by the officers and soldiers.

Ma Sandan was taken aback, so possible? However, he soon discovered the clue, it turned out that the Tang army wearing conjoined iron armor had been shooting his own generals.

What a vicious ploy this guy has! I didn't expect it. Hey, how is this good?

I had no choice but to go back first, and Ma Sandan, who had been in the war for a long time, knew very well: preserving strength is the way to survive. So he shouted to his men: "The wind is tight, and the wind is blowing!" ”

Ma Sandan took the lead in retreating, causing chaos in the vanguard of the peasant army, Tang Yeting saw this scene, immediately put down his bow and arrow, picked up the horizontal knife, and pursued the defeated peasant army.

Shang Rang and his entourage, who were still watching the battle, were stomped by Ma Sandan's bad performance, but this was not the time to be angry, he immediately issued an order for his generals to go to support Ma Sandan.

The generals took the order and left, and Shang Rang stood on the high platform and continued to watch the battle.

Shang Rang sent all his subordinates out, and for a time the entire peasant army battalion came out.

In ancient times, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, the gates of the large army camp in and out of each battalion were very finely designed, but at this time it was not a good design for the peasant army.

There were many men and horses under the commanders of each army, and they were not subordinate to each other, so the result of not giving in to each other further aggravated the confusion of the peasant army.

By the time the peasant army had reorganized its ranks and was ready to attack, the officers and soldiers had already rushed to the gate of the camp, so they had no choice but to fight!

At this moment, I don't know where there was a thunderstorm, and a boom and boom followed by a large area of peasant troops being killed and wounded like harvested crops.

This is the "Wu Lei Fa" I don't know who shouted, and then the entire peasant army was changed.

The survivors of the terrifying night of the Battle of Chang'an have become the best amplifier of the power of the "Witch Thunder Method", and they amplify the power of the psychological warfare of fear in people's hearts while fleeing!

When Shang Rang on the high platform came back to his senses, his army of 50,000 tigers and wolves had become shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they were crushed by the officials and soldiers without the power to fight back.

Before Shang Rang could figure out what was going on, another guard came to report that a large number of cavalry were attacking his rear army behind his own army.

Shang Rang only now realized that he despised his opponent Zheng Zheng too much, but instead gave his opponent a chance to take advantage of it, and he fell for Zheng Jin.

Hey, retreat, the unwilling Shang Rang commanded the army for the first time but ended up in a crushing defeat.

Shang Rang was escorted by his own guards and left the Longweipi battlefield and retreated back the way he came.

The decadent Shang Rang didn't know that on his way home, a war of annihilation was almost over.
