Chapter 460: The literati are arrogant, and the warriors are dying
Almost instantly, the lieutenant felt a flame explode in his heart, filling his chest.
His pupils shrank sharply, and he screamed, "Yes...... Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Archers! Release arrows!"
However, it was too late.
At the moment when he shouted, Qin Ke finally raised his head, and at this time, he didn't need to hide it anymore, he took off his helmet with his backhand and threw it out.
The helmet crossed an arc in the air, bringing up the ponytail bun that was tied high behind Qin Ke's head, fluttering in the wind like a sharp black short whip, and everyone's weapons were unsheathed at the same time, reflecting the sunlight brightly!
The arrows fired by the archers in a hurry were so weak that they could not penetrate even the outermost layer of leather armor when they landed on a person. And the phalanx that had just opened a gap didn't have time to close again, and in an instant, Qin Ke and his people had already rushed into the Tang army's array, and under the wave of the sword, a group of people turned on their backs.
The cavalry's charge was like a spinning and churning steel knife, plunged into the unobstructed fragile chest of the Tang army.
Although the Mo cavalry is not good at using the Tang standard sword, even if they are not good at it, it is not difficult to slash hard, and the formation of the Tang army gradually becomes more chaotic, and it is unable to build a defense line at all.
And Qin Ke saw that everyone had rushed into the center, and then shouted: "Throw!"
Countless cloth bags flew up, but when they fell, they were not very soft, and even made a crisp sound of cracking, and the fragments of the crockpot fell from it, and the crystal liquid inside spread on the cart full of grain and grass.
"It's ...... Wine?" Lord Grain and Grass Supervisor Railway, who was hiding next to the cart, widened his eyes, seeing the sword flashing and countless blood flying, but he didn't dare to continue hiding.
He took a deep breath, summoned all his courage, imagined the righteousness of his country for many years, and roared loudly: "Get out of the grain truck! Get out of the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flame rose into the sky, then devoured the grain in the sacks, and then the flames swayed in the wind like rampant demons.
The formation of the entire Tang State infantry army was chaotic in the firelight.
"Don't be afraid! Don't mess around! It's because there aren't many of them! Don't mess around!" said Iron Lord, who was probably caught in flames from the splashing wine, but he didn't bother with any of this, and shouted hard.
Others ridiculed him for being a scholar, and he always knew that he was just a scholar, but this does not mean that he didn't understand anything about military affairs, there is a saying that there is a golden house in the book, and he has learned some truths about war from the stories of previous dynasties.
"They want to mess with our phalanx!" he said, "As long as we don't mess up, they won't have a chance! It's just a few hundred people!"
Then he fell down suddenly, and the captain who knocked him down slapped his hem hard, extinguishing the flames that were gradually expanding, and said with a sad face: "Lord Tie, don't shout, let's try to escape." ”
"What are you fleeing from!" Lord Tie's eyes were red, "I was ordered to escort the grain and grass, and now that the grain and grass are gone, if I still escape, what face will I have to see General Xiang? It's just a few hundred people! Let everyone pick up their weapons!"
"No...... No...... It's too late, it's too late!" the lieutenant pointed to the mountains and forests on both sides of the road with frightened eyes, and at this moment, countless black cavalry lifted the bushes and weeds covering their bodies, and their hooves wrapped in animal skins stepped on the mud ground softly and silently, but they were still very terrible when they charged.
At the end of the road, another black cavalry was also approaching, and Abu sat at the front, holding the halberd in his hand, raising it high, and his hands stretched out like a goshawk swooping down on them.
There were more than 2,000 Mo cavalry than the Tang army, and in the chaos, the Tang army's formation had already been torn into chaos, and the collapsed morale could not support their courage to resist, and everyone was fleeing, like a lost dog.
In the midst of the chaos, Qin Ke drew his sword left and right, and the long sword pierced through the chest of an infantryman who tried to dismount him with a spear, and then pierced through his vest.
"Ah Ke!" Abu shouted, raising his hand and throwing the Bodhisattva sword over.
Qin Ke let go of the sword in his hand, stepped on the horseback with his legs, and the whole person rose into the air, catching the sword he was used to, and when he landed, he unsheathed and swung the sword freely and gracefully, like a white flower blooming.
Seven into the sword, begonia.
This trick should have been used in the chaos of the army, especially when the crowd is dense, and the effect is even more amazing!
The three Tang soldiers who surrounded them just snorted, and blood broke from their chests, splashing in all directions.
In less than a cup of tea, this Tang army had already been slaughtered by the Mo cavalry, except for those who fled, as well as those who put down their weapons and were captured, a total of 400 people died under the knife of Qin Ke's side.
And the casualties of the Mo cavalry were only dozens.
Of course, if the Tang army resisted desperately, Qin Ke's side would definitely not have suffered such a small number of casualties, and the most important thing was that the Mo cavalry not only killed people, but also shouted loudly according to Abu's previous agreement: "Put down your weapons and don't kill!"
Seeing the flames everywhere, the cavalry of the Tang State who were raging had no courage, except for a few people who escaped from the forest, most of them put down their weapons, and their eyes were empty and scattered: didn't it mean that the Mojia army was beaten to the point that it was difficult to even assemble, and General Xiang's 100,000 army had begun to besiege Jinzhou?
So where did the more than 2,000 cavalry come from?
They didn't believe that Xiang Chu would be defeated, so they wouldn't think that Qin Ke and the others rushed out of Jinzhou, and more than 2,000 people rushed out of an army of 100,000...... This is a story that even storytellers dare not make up.
Under the control of the Mo cavalry, these Tang cavalry were all driven together and gathered together, like a flock of sheep in a sheepfold, trembling.
There was some noise among them, Qin Ke frowned, and when he heard the shout: "Let go of me, I'm going to kill them", he rushed over in three steps, snatched the long knife from the man's hand, and punched him in the lower abdomen.
He didn't do his best, he just made the man take a few steps straight back.
"General...... Lao Liu...... Lao Liu is dead!" The person who held the knife and threatened to kill the prisoner was Qianchang Tu Ergou, his eyes were red, although he and Lao Liu had a lot of disputes on weekdays, but those quarrels were at most disagreements between their opinions, and on the battlefield, the two were still brothers who shared life and death.
But in the assault just now, Lao Liu rushed in front alone, but was hit by a hidden arrow, and then was taken off his horse by two soldiers armed with spears.
The spear went deep into his chest, piercing his heart, and the blood that flowed gradually formed a small pool of blood beneath him.
Qin Ke lowered his head and glanced back, the Tang soldiers who were full of fear looked at the Mo family cavalry in his own camp, and they were a little silent for a while.
When I left the city, there were still 3,000 people, but now there is only one Tu Ergou left, and fighting this kind of thing will always be accompanied by death, and no one knows who will be next.
Abu also walked over, looked at Tu Ergou and said in a low voice: "General Tu, killing prisoners is not a good thing after all, if it weren't for us shouting to put down our weapons and not kill, these Tang people would not be captured so quickly, if you raise your knife now, Tang Guobing is afraid that they will ...... back."
Of course, Tu Ergou also knew the possible consequences of killing prisoners, so in the end he could only put down the long knife, covered his eyes and squatted down, and said with a crying voice: "How can I explain to the old Liu family's mother-in-law...... His daughter is only three years old this year......"
Qin Ke and Abu glanced at each other, both shaking their heads and sighing.
At this time, a young general came up and asked in a low voice: "General, with the 400 cavalry before, we have captured nearly 2,000 people, how can we deal with these people......? That's it, right?"
Of course, he can't let them go, but if he wants Qin Ke to go back on his word and slaughter them all, he can't make such a ruthless move.
So Qin Ke ordered: "Rip off all their armor, confiscate their weapons and horses, give them a little food, and burn the forage that can't be taken away along with the armor, so be it." ”
"Yes. ”
Soon, the Tang army's team spread the word about Qin Ke's treatment of them, they learned that they could leave a life, and they began to be grateful to Dade, and even some Tang soldiers imitated the accent of Mojia Jicheng and thanked them loudly, while more soldiers were scrambling to take off their armor, like a group of chickens who wanted to break out of the eggshell.
But among these people, there is a discordant voice.
"What are you doing here! You are the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, even if you are defeated, you should follow with your life, but look at ......"
In the middle of the charge just now, Lord Tie somehow saved his life, but his robe was scorched in many places, and his hair was also covered with blood, entangled piece by piece, feeling inferior to the beggars in Jinzhou City.
"Are you worthy of General Xiang, the lord of the country, and the people of the Tang Kingdom?" he ran to a lieutenant like crazy, clenched his hands hard, and prevented him from taking off his armor, while roaring: "Don't understand!"
It's just that his shouts did not make those Tang soldiers ashamed, but the eyes of the sergeants gradually became disdainful, in their opinion, the situation is already like this, defeat is defeat, isn't it a great luck in misfortune to survive?
It was on the battlefield, the two armies were facing each other, and everyone had a bloody nature in their chests, but now they ......
"Lord Tie, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk. You don't have to carry a knife anyway, and you're left with a pair of sharp teeth......" someone scoffed.
"You ......" Lord Tie's eyes were bright red, and his hands trembling slightly as he pointed at everyone: "Even if you fight to the end, you will die a heroic death, why do you want to kneel on the ground like you are now and be a lost dog?"
Many Tang Jun heard what Lord Tie said, his face changed, he was still a little jealous of him, and suddenly his patience disappeared, speaking of which, this guy was not likable all the way, and a few people made colors to each other, and then nodded their heads and approached Lord Tie, probably to restrain him, lest he interfere with everyone's surrender.
How could Lord Tie, a civil official, be able to resist this group of martial artists, naturally he was easily set up.
"Lord Tie, it's a good thing that you have this heart, but well, my brothers still want to live, so I won't accompany you. ”
But at this moment, a sharp light flashed in front of everyone's eyes!
One of them, Tang Jun, who was carrying the Iron Lord, clutched his throat vigorously, looking at the Iron Lord who fell from the sky and looked embarrassed with disbelief eyes, almost unable to believe everything in front of him.
And Lord Tie fell to the ground, and there was a dagger hidden in his hand, he pointed at everyone with this dagger, and laughed madly: "You guys!
He looked around, as if he was finally disappointed, and sneered: "If you want to steal your life, you go by yourself, I will never surrender to the southeast!"
The dagger turned in a different direction and was slammed into his chest, the sharp blade piercing the heart in an instant, and the pain made his face hideous, and he fell backwards with his eyes wide.
Everyone's eyes widened at this moment, they never thought that this civil official, who had always seemed to be the most soft-boned, would burst out with this powerful force above everyone, and he would not hesitate to enforce his loyalty by self-determination.
What can he do if he is just a man of loyalty? His behavior eventually caused a small number of people to be a little ashamed for a very short time, and most of them, when they came to their senses, continued to take off their armor with a blank face, and the sound of rustling was everywhere.
"Okay, I see. When Qin Ke heard about this, he frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "Assign a few people to bury him ......."
Waving his hand to let the person who came to report retreat, he sat on the hillside, reached out and stroked Cai Yan's forehead, she was sleeping deeply, and the heat seemed to have dropped a little.
Then he soaked the towel in a water bag and applied it to her forehead again.
