Chapter 72: A Gluttonous Feast
Unexpectedly, the expected 'half-crossing attack' on both sides and behind him did not happen at all, but the cunning thief changed it to a head-on blow to this feast. The front team of 100 officers and soldiers, who had enjoyed a great feast in advance, had now fallen into hell on earth, while the brigade behind could not figure out what was happening in front of them, and still crowded over the potholed embankment and broke into the valley of the small river.
Finally, after devouring nearly two hundred lives, the valley let out a dull gut sound, meaning "I'm full, you all feel free, go wherever you want, don't force me." ”
On the leveled school military field, Liu Xiyao instructed Li Qiang, who had already run back, "Brother Qiang, you take someone back to the old camp quickly! I will kill him here and turn over on his back and then leave, don't forget my Li Jiangye's instructions......"
"I know, 'guarding the danger is not guarding'!" Through the first engagement, Li Qiang admired the arrangement of the eldest brother Li Guo very much, and every move of the officers and soldiers was simply in accordance with the previous deployment of the eldest brother, and fell into the bag step by step.
"Brother Qiang, you must persuade King Chuang not to fall in love with war, my general is right, with the purpose of killing and injuring the living force of the officers and soldiers, you don't have to care about the gains and losses of a village, you can't get it, you can retreat and defend it!" Before Liu Xiyao finished speaking, Li Qiang and the others had already whipped their horses and rushed towards the village.
Liu Xiyao didn't have time to think about it, so he shouted loudly at that time, threw the flag down, and immediately broke into the ranks of the army. The sound of the golden drum is a unique tactic invented by Li Chixin, specially used for the order on the small school field, the 300 cavalry who heard the order lined up in a comfortable horizontal line, holding a spear in their left hand and a machete in their right hand neatly forward, dodging the officers and soldiers who were stabbed by the first spear, and often killed by the third spear or machete in the process of competing with the second spear.
The cavalry in a comb-like formation combed through the training of the cavalry, over and over again combing the remnants of the officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to rush into the small school yard, they did not rush to kill, but with their horsepower and the knives and guns in their hands, they scattered the officers and soldiers who formed a large group, and then drove them out of the school military field and drove them into the rocky river valley.
In less than a stick of incense, most of the nearly 800 Guanning soldiers under the command of a thousand generals were lost, and the whereabouts of the two generals were even more unknown; the panicked officers and soldiers fled one after another in order to survive, and trampled on each other, and in a short period of time, the corpses of nearly 1,000 Guanning iron cavalry under the command of Wu Sangui filled the entire river valley.
The guerrillas of the officers and soldiers who had not yet crossed the riverbed were surrounded by the soldiers who had fled, and the people fled into the woods without their lives.
The guerrilla general who fled after being coerced shouted loudly, "Damn, don't run, if you run again, I'll cut off his head!"
He drew his waist knife and waved it, intimidating the fleeing officers and soldiers, and then the men and horses under the banner of He Zi also helped him to play and suppress the position, and the people who fled in chaos calmed down a little, until they saw He Renlong's big banner, which was wantonly waving in the night wind, so that those panicked officers and soldiers no longer ran around.
However, the battle just now made the officers and soldiers fearful. This kind of unbelievable style of play is really strange, and to this day they don't understand why they suffered losses in the small river valley, and several battle-hardened generals and colonels in the official army couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while.
After killing the officers and soldiers in the small school field, Liu Xiyao immediately ordered the herald to "All soldiers are not allowed to clean up the battlefield, and they are not allowed to pick up the swords, spears, weapons, and all baggage left by the officers and soldiers, and the whole team will immediately retreat and retreat to the village to defend!"
Most of the people who participated in this battle were from the army of the generals of various villages, and many of them were generals and colonels with rich combat experience. It was evident to them that although the present battle was very effective, it was only the scattering of most of the officers and soldiers of the thousand-man squad that had caused them to flee, and that the enemy who had actually been killed and trampled to death was only two or three hundred.
It is better to take advantage of the new defeat of the officers and troops, and then the brigade will cover up and kill, perhaps it can achieve greater results, and maybe it can repel the sneak attack of the officers and troops in one battle.
No matter how the people around him complained, Liu Xiyao just had a cold face and repeated a sentence: "This is the established policy of my family Li Jiangye, if you are not satisfied, you can find my family general after the war and say, now I will retreat to the village for defense!"
Although the reputation of 'a tiger' Li Guowei broke into the camp, but his tiger power was limited to his own forward tiger camp, Hao Dayong's deputy general lit the lamp and Li Guo has never dealt with it, and at this moment he does not buy Liu Xiyao's account; the same as the lamp, there are also many generals in other camps who do not approve of Liu Xiyao's decision, they advocate taking advantage of your illness to kill you, so they light the lamp and discuss with the people they know well, preparing to take advantage of the defeat of the official army to retreat, and then cover up and kill themselves, to obtain the greatest results.
Liu Xiyao's prestige couldn't convince the people who lit the lamp, and in desperation, he had to loudly urge the people from the old camp of the Chuang army, the tiger camp, and the camp of Liu Zongmin, the general outpost, to quickly retreat back to the village with him.
It didn't take long for Ma Erbao to lead Liu Xiyao and others to the village, and those who dared to chase and kill the officers and soldiers escaped one after another. The big leader in charge of guarding the village brought his own people together the people who fled back one after another, and there were only a dozen of the two hundred and seventy or eighty brave generals who returned.
After a while, the big leader quietly came to Liu Xiyao, and he reported in a low voice: "General Liu, these people have also brought back two prisoners of the official army, do you want to take a look?"
Liu Xiyao was puzzled, so he asked him to take the two captives up.
Guan Ningjun put the general Chen Jiahao and his own relatives Tu Niu'er, is the first batch of officers and soldiers who fell into the trap of the river valley, Chen Jiahao has always been anxious, he found that the situation in front is not good, but it was too late, he was rushed by a few people who followed, and fell into the snow, Tu Niu'er saw that the old man fell into the snow pit and sacrificed his life to help, he desperately pulled a few people out of the snow pit, but found that he did not put the total Chen Jiahao.
Just rescued a few Guanning Military Academy by themselves, seeing the sudden emergence of life, how could they sit here and wait for death, a few people didn't care about rescuing their benefactor Tuniu'er, and even got up and ran backwards, which Cheng thought, they just stood up, Liu Xiyao's arrow rain arrived, and after a few screams, these Guanning Military Academy Fu who had become corpses were trampled into the snow pit again.
Tu Niu'er was already frightened, he didn't dare to make a sound or cry, just squatted on the ground in a daze, until the people behind him tripped over him and smashed heavily into his arms, Tu Niu'er woke up like a dream, and he screamed loudly and crawled towards the middle of the valley......
