Chapter 55: The Big Picture Has Been Decided
On March 11, the second year of Jianning, more than half of the hour, the wind was howling, the heavy rain was pouring down, and the hail was still the same.
However, it was in this kind of bad weather that there was a shout of killing outside Donglai County, Qingzhou.
The Han army was 30,000 people, and the rebel army was nearly 40,000 people.
"Thief, die."
Zhang Chun shouted and swung out a knife, slashing directly at the head of the commander of the salt army.
However, the commander of the salt army did not panic, put the knife across his head, held the knife in one hand, and supported the back of the knife with the other, which actually blocked Zhang Chun's attack.
Immediately, the commander of the salt army shouted "ah", and struggled to block Zhang Chun's knife back.
"Coming and going to get the same name."
Although the commander of the Salt Army roughly guessed Zhang Chun's identity, he still asked.
Zhang Chun looked at the commander of the Yan Army and sneered: "Zhang Chun, the general of the Northern Army. Who is you? ”
"The commander of the salt army in a certain county is not ......"
After the commander of the salt army in his county finished speaking, Zhang Chun swung out a knife and said with a smile, "I never thought about the name of the person who is about to die." ”
"You ......"
The commander of the Salt Army blocked Zhang Chun's attack, and anger flashed on his face.
Who is he? He is the commander of the 50,000 salt army, under one person, above 10,000 people, how can he ever be insulted like this on weekdays.
So the angry commander of the Yan Army in his county no longer just defended, but attacked with all his might.
Zhang Chun saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, what Zhang Chun wanted was this effect, when people were angry, although their strength would be a little greater, they would lose their minds, thus reducing their strength.
It is obvious that this is the case with the commander of the Buqi Salt Army at this time, although he is aggressive, but it is a momentary power, and he will be killed by Zhang Chun in a moment.
Compared with Zhang Chun's side, the marching Xu Rong army was much more difficult.
Most of the new troops are foot soldiers, and it is difficult to march in such an environment at this time!
Xu Rong frowned as he looked at the slow marching speed, but he didn't say anything.
After all, in such an environment, the marching speed of the new army was much stronger than that of other Han armies, so what could Xu Rong do?
At this moment, a scout quickly ran over and said, "General, there is a cavalry of more than 100 people three miles northeast of here. It seems to come from Changguang. ”
Xu Rong was shocked when he heard this, Xu Rong was surprised not to say that this cavalry came from Changguang, but to be surprised that in such weather, the cavalry could still ride a horse.
You must know that with such heavy rain and hail, the horses have long been unable to ride, otherwise Zhang Chun would not have let the northern army dismount to fight, and even Xu Rong at this time was marching on foot like ordinary soldiers.
However, the scout actually said that there was a cavalry from Changguang three miles away, and the cavalry was naturally on horseback.
So, Xu Rong said: "What are the characteristics of these cavalry? ”
"Features?" The scout thought for a moment, and said, "Those cavalrymen are covered with face bandages. ”
"Masked cavalry? Could it be that he came in person? ”
Xu Rong woke up suddenly, waved his hand and ordered the scout to go down and explore again, and then thought about it alone.
At this time, the counterinsurgency Han army knew that there was a small but extremely brave masked cavalry in the rebel army.
From the fact that those masked cavalry dismounted to attack the city, so that Ding Yuan used several times the number of troops and killed them all with heavy losses, we can know their combat strength.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Rong ordered, "Order the commander of the Divine Machine Battalion to come." ”
"No"
When the herald on the side heard this, he hurriedly ran to give the order.
The Shenji Battalion, with only 300 people, was composed of the most elite soldiers in the whole army, and was trained by Xu Rong according to the training method that Liu Hong gave to the special forces of later generations.
Although it has only been trained for half a year, it can be described as elite, and Xu Rong wants to use such a unit to oppose the masked cavalry of the army.
After a while, Zhang Jie, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, was ordered to come.
Xu Rong was not polite, and said directly, "Zixiao (Zhang Jie's character), the general ordered the Shenji battalion to quickly rush to the front to block the masked iron cavalry of the rebels, although it is a cavalry, but it must be going to the county, we are not closer to the county, so we should arrive before it, you just need to drag it down, so that it does not join the battle outside the county, and wait for the arrival of our army." ”
"No, the last general will take the order."
Zhang Jie Baoquan answered the promise and strode away.
Xu Rong looked at Zhang Jie's back, and said silently in his heart, "I hope to stop this masked cavalry!" Otherwise, once it joins the battlefield and performs the technique of taking the Chinese army, this victory is unpredictable! If Liu Ju came in person, it would be troublesome. ”
A quarter of an hour later, not two miles from the battlefield.
Zhang Jie, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, looked at the figure that gradually became clear in the rain and fog, and said secretly, "It's so fast!" I waited all the way without resting, and just as I arrived, it arrived. ”
Immediately, Zhang Jie looked at the nearly a hundred soldiers who were gasping for breath, frowned, and said, "All the kings are fighting, this battle is the first battle of my Shenji Battalion, and we must not lose the name of our Shenji Battalion." ”
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who still had combat power, shouted "No"
Even the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who fell to the ground struggled to get up.
Zhang Jie looked at the masked cavalry of the anti-army who began to sprint, and shouted, "Crossbow, scatter." ”
"Whoosh"
With Zhang Jie's words, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion immediately shot more than two hundred arrows.
But their opponent is not the salt army of Qiqi County, so incompetent.
After the Shenji battalion fired a cluster of arrows, the masked cavalry dodged one after another, except for a few unlucky soldiers, who fell to the ground without seeing the arrows because they were blocked by the people in front of them.
But no one fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the masked cavalry rushed to the front of the Shenji Battalion.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion discarded their bows and crossbows without Zhang Jie's order and fought with their swords.
As soon as Fang fought, the Shenji Battalion fell into disadvantage, after all, the cavalry had an innate advantage over the infantry.
However, then the cavalry of the salt army dismounted and engaged in a battle with the Shenji battalion, and it turned out that the soldiers of the Shenji battalion who had lost their combat strength due to the rapid march all hugged the horse's legs, so that they could not increase the speed of the horse.
On a normal day, how can a man hold a horse?
But at this time, the masked cavalry of the salt army came from afar, and the horsepower had declined, and in such an environment, how could the masked cavalry increase the speed of the horse?
That's why the magic machine succeeded.
The fierce battle is raging here, but the war on Zhang Chun's side is gradually becoming clear.
"Bump, pedal, pedal, pedal."
However, the commander of the salt army blocked Zhang Chun's knife, but he took three steps back.
Then he fell to one knee and gasped.
As Zhang Chun expected, although the angry commander of the Salt Army could not last long, his momentum would be lost.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Zhang Chun did not hesitate to swing his knife.
"Bang, poof."
The knife is broken, and the blood flows.
However, the commander of the Yan Army looked at the war knife that had not entered his chest, looked up at Zhang Chun again, and said with difficulty, "King, the small one can't serve you anymore." ”
Immediately fell to the ground in anger, Zhang Chun stepped forward to cut off his head, and shouted, "You wait for the boss to be dead, why don't you come down early?" ”
"You're waiting for the boss to be dead, why don't you come down early?"
"You're waiting for the boss to be dead, why don't you come down early?"
"You're waiting for the boss to be dead, why don't you come down early?"
Hearing this, the Han army shouted loudly.
The salt army of Buqi County was fighting with a breath.
At this time, as soon as the coach died, this aura suddenly disappeared, and they all put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
Seeing this, Zhang Chun secretly said: "The overall situation has been decided. ”
