Chapter 266: Victory

Gao Chibang's temper suddenly became irritable, he miscalculated the direction of the retreat of the Huangchao army, he didn't expect that the Huangchao retreated in the direction of Yueping County, it should be said that Yueping County has 10,000 soldiers led by Zhao Laibao, and the problem is not very big, but Gao Chibang thought about it, Zhao Laibao has never experienced such a large-scale fight, if there is any mistake, it is his responsibility.

The army went towards Yueping County at the fastest speed, everyone knows the importance of time, the longer the delay, the greater Zhao Laibao's loss will be, in case Zhao Laibao can't hold on, the plan to besiege Huangchao will fall short.

The galloping horse was at the front, and the speed of the army was astonishing.

Huang Biao is even more furious, as one of the most capable generals in the iron-blooded army, most of the combat tasks he undertakes are the most arduous combat tasks, I can't imagine that this time the most dangerous combat mission, was bumped into by Zhao Laibao, you must know that the army under the command of Huang Chao, the number is close to 100,000 people, Zhao Laibao led 10,000 soldiers, in an unprepared situation, facing nearly ten times the opponent, a little carelessness may cause immeasurable losses.

Huang Biao led 10,000 soldiers, all of them are one person and two horses, which is also convenient for rapid action, at this time, two horses came in handy, Huang Biao gave the soldiers a death order, must arrive in Yueping within a day, even if it is not to eat, drink or sleep, after the order is issued, Huang Biao also took the lead, at the front of the army.

All the soldiers around him have become bloody people.

Three hours had passed, and the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army had resisted three rounds of attacks under the personal command of Huang Chao, and both sides were desperate.

Zhao Laibao's mood suddenly became calm, the next round of attack may be coming soon, he didn't have time to count the losses, and he didn't have time to care about the casualties, but so far, the two thousand soldiers of the reserve team still did not move. Although the officer in command was about to cry in a hurry, he also lost his temper several times.

The loss must be very large, but Gao Chibang said that even if he insisted on the last person, he would not be able to let Huang Chao's army escape, Zhao Laibao knew very well that once the army led by Gao Chibang arrived, the sergeants under Huang Chao would definitely collapse.

Persistence, perseverance to the end is victory.

The battlefield was already bloody, and countless corpses were scattered all around. Zhao Laibao saw such a scene for the first time, although he had experienced a lot of fighting, but such a tragic scene had really not been seen before.

Experiencing such a harsh battle, such an opportunity is rare, Zhao Laibao has long ordered the officers around him, once he has an accident, the officers around him are responsible for continuing to command. The reserve cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary, and you must know that there is still a rear army in Huangchao that has not yet launched an attack.

Zhao Laibao was very pleased to have such an opportunity to fight. Enough is enough.

The soldiers around him, no one is afraid, it should be said that after three rounds of fighting, the losses are heavy. If it were another army, I am afraid that it would have collapsed a long time ago, but the Iron and Blood Army is different. Severe training and unusual ideological work have made this army like steel, with an extraordinary cohesion, and no amount of losses can be broken.

Looking at the handsome banner on the opposite side, Zhao Laibao showed an indignant look on his face, in fact, the best way is to be able to kill Huang Chao, or take down the other party's handsome flag, he has already tried in this regard, but all failed, the guards around Huang Chao are particularly tight, several attempts can not succeed, Zhao Laibao decisively gave up, and now the most important task is to prevent Huang Chao's army from breaking through the defense line.

Huang Chao's face has become pale, the charge of the 50,000 army can not break through the defense line of the Iron and Blood Army, he faintly feels that something is wrong, after so many years of fighting, he has never encountered such a situation, if this is an ordinary officer and army, it would have collapsed a long time ago, but the Iron Blood Army on the opposite side is still as stable as a rock, time continues to be consumed like this, and when the reinforcements of the Iron Blood Army arrive, he will die without a place to be buried. The strategists around him were also persuading him to evacuate, since he couldn't break through from Yueping, then evacuate in the direction of Wanping, although the road was not very good, but it was better than spending here.

These strategists also saw that if they wanted to completely break through the defense line of the Iron and Blood Army, they might not be able to do it for a while, even if they were the vanguard troops, the loss of the army was close to 30,000 people, continue to hold on like this, and when the backup of the Iron and Blood Army arrived, the army would face a complete collapse.

Huang Chao didn't give up, he and the iron-blooded army pole opposite.

The number of the Iron Blood Army is not large, and the losses are also heavy, maybe the next round of charge, can crush the opponent, but the difficulty is that the sergeant already has a fear mood, in the process of charging, there are always people who take the initiative to retreat, disrupt the formation, and kill dozens of people with their own soldiers, but they still can't stop this situation.

As time went by, Huang Chao became more and more anxious, whether to continue the attack or evacuate immediately, he couldn't make an easy decision, if he retreated at this time, the pursuit of the iron-blooded army would also be fatal, not to mention the 20,000 logistics troops behind him, and they were still escorting grain and grass.

After only a quarter of an hour, Huang Chao made up his mind, and more than 30,000 sergeants launched a final charge.

Several strategists bowed their heads and sighed, but Huang Chao ignored them.

When the charge began again, Zhao Laibao raised the Tang knife in his hand and was about to give the order.

At this time, the officer in charge of commanding the reserve suddenly came to Zhao Laibao and knelt on the ground.

"General Zhao, his subordinates implore him to join the war, the brothers can't hold it back for a long time, seeing the other brothers fighting on the battlefield, no one can bear it, if General Zhao refuses to agree, please change the commander, and the subordinates must follow the fight."

The rest of the officers looked at Zhao Laibao and didn't speak, in fact, they had already seen that Huang Chao was commanding everyone to launch a charge this time, and at this time, the reserve team should go up.

Zhao Laibao stared, time was urgent, and he couldn't hesitate.

"Okay, all the troops are dispatched to kill Huang Chao back to his hometown......"

The sudden addition of the new force surprised Huang Chao, this is the fourth round of attacks, and the third round of attacks is the most tragic, but the Iron Blood Army is still those people, how can there be a reserve in this fourth round of attacks.

What Huang Chao expected, could it be that the Iron Blood Army couldn't support it, or that reinforcements were coming.

The personal soldiers around him began to supervise the battle with Tang knives, and everyone retreated, no matter what the reason, they were immediately killed, which forced the sergeant to charge forward desperately, and gradually the momentum seemed to be rising.

Huang Chao, who was very excited, saw the opportunity, I don't know how many battles he has experienced, he can still grasp the opportunity very well, at this time, as long as he can hold on and wait for the arrival of 20,000 rear troops, he will definitely be able to break through.

At this time, a scout rode over, his face pale, knelt in front of Huang Chao, and hurriedly reported something, before the scout could finish speaking, Huang Chao's body shook and almost fell off the horse.

Huang Chao's retreat was very sudden and secretive, leaving the sergeant still in front of him to fight desperately......

The harvest was huge, but Gao Chibang was not happy at all.

The charge of 10,000 soldiers instantly made the 20,000 people left behind by Huang Chao collapse, the soldiers abandoned a large amount of grain and grass, and each began to flee for his life, looking at so many grains and grass, Gao Chibang could not care, only 2,000 soldiers could be left behind, specifically responsible for taking care of the grain and grass, and the rest of the soldiers rushed to the front, he believed that under the front and rear attacks, Huang Chao would definitely collapse.

As for the sergeants who scattered and fled, Gao Chibang still had to chase and kill, after all, there were too many people, and if these people gathered again and attacked the soldiers guarding the grain and grass behind, the situation would be difficult to control.

It is precisely because of the scattered sergeants who fled that the speed of the army's charge was delayed, Gao Chibang, who was in a hurry, couldn't wait to scold his mother, there were fleeing sergeants everywhere, it was impossible to ignore these sergeants, if he charged with a small number of people, it might not be able to have a good effect, but if Zhao Laibao couldn't hold on, the loss would be greater.

After a little weighing, Gao Chibang decisively issued an order, leaving a thousand people behind again to deal with these scattered and fleeing sergeants, and the remaining seven thousand soldiers followed him to charge, flanking Huangchao's army in front and back.

Many soldiers quickly gathered and quickly rushed forward, they were only five miles away from the battlefield in front of them, and they could rush to the front in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Laibao, who was fighting with all his might, already knew that the army led by Gao Chibang was about to arrive, at this time, he began to pay attention to Huang Chao's movements, but unfortunately the chaotic battlefield made him unable to notice Huang Chao, and the swarming sergeants made him not be able to have the slightest negligence, he could only raise the Tang knife in his hand and cut it down.

When the sound of dense horses' hooves sounded, the sergeant who was still charging collapsed in an instant.

Although Gao Chibang led only 7,000 soldiers, the momentum was amazing, which made the sergeants panic, and at the same time, they also discovered that the coach Huang Chao had long been nowhere to be found, and at this time, they would not continue to resist.

One-sided slaughter and flight reappeared.

The angry Gao Chibang will not show mercy, when he arrived at the battlefield, he found that the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army had become bloody people, and the dense corpses were terrifying, such a cruel fight, Zhao Laibao's losses must have been very heavy, but Zhao Laibao withstood it and did not let Huang Chao's army pass through Yue Ping, which was already very remarkable.

Gao Chibang gave up the idea of letting the opponent surrender, and ordered the soldiers to fight desperately, he killed in the direction where Zhao Laibao was, saw Zhao Laibao covered in blood, and saw the iron-blooded soldiers who were struggling to support, Gao Chibang's eyes were red, this is indeed a huge victory, but it is also a tragic victory.

The battle like a storm made Huang Chao's army lose its last ability to resist, and countless sergeants began to scatter and flee, which was a sign of complete collapse, Zhao Laibao refused Gao Chibang's order to ask him to rest, raised his Tang sword, and rushed forward with a prancing horse......
