Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 243

Li Yun's cavalry were all in full armor, carrying extremely high loads, and their horsepower was also declining sharply.

Although they are all one person and two horses, when the horses are running fast, the soldiers don't have the riding skills to change horses at all.

At this time, it can only be the same as the Bian army, with spurs on both feet piercing the horse's belly, forcing out the horse's last potential, and the distance between the two armies gradually no longer shortens, and the stalemate continues.

Such a situation is very unfriendly to Wang Qianyu. If he can't catch up with the front team, the nightmare will start when the horses under his crotch can't run anymore.

Seeing the feeling of not being able to eat is very exhausting. It's not that they don't try their best, but that they can't catch up!

And Li Ye, who was chasing after Wang Qianyu to eat ashes, has been on the battlefield, learning how to fight cavalry.

If the cavalry under Li Yun put the caltrops on their bodies and scattered the caltrops when the cavalry chased him, would it cause serious damage to Wang Qianyu's cavalry?
What a pity!
If Wang Qianyu's cavalry can be captured, the odds of winning against Zhu Wen will increase by a large margin.

"Your Majesty, the horsepower of the bandit army in front of us is almost exhausted!"

Li Ye nodded. In Wang Qianyu's cavalry brigade, some cavalry kept falling behind, and they were caught up by Li Ye's cavalry behind them, killing them immediately.

Wang Qianyu is also very clear about the state of the sitting horse, and can't delay any longer, the horsepower will be exhausted at any time.

Wang Qianyu ordered the flag to be unfurled and waved to the right, and then the whole army slowly turned their horses and rushed towards the formation of Zhu Wen's infantry.

This is to use the infantry formation to cover the horse army!

Without hesitation, Li Ye approached Wang Xingyu's horse army when Wang Qianyu turned his back, shot a few rounds of bows and arrows, and killed hundreds of cavalrymen before he stopped pursuing.

Wang Qianyu gave up the space, and Pang Shigu's cavalry, about 5000 people, continued to pursue Li Yun's cavalry. The distance between the two armies was only three or four hundred steps.
The other team of cavalry was about 6000 to [-] people, and they pursued Li Ye's cavalry, and the distance between the two armies was about [-] steps.

With such a short distance, it takes only a few breaths for the horses to rush up, and there is no time to change horses, but if you don't change horses, the horses you are riding will almost have exhausted their horsepower.

Moreover, Pang Shigu's cavalry were all chasing up from the side and rear, but in terms of formation, the court cavalry was at a disadvantage in this battle.

This is a wheel battle. Zhu Wen can't see that the advantage of the court cavalry is also in the Bian army. The large number of cavalry is an advantage. Let Wang Qianyu and Pang Shigu take turns to fight, as long as you can't change horses , then lose the physical advantage.

Li Ye was secretly startled, he didn't notice for a while, and actually put himself in a dangerous situation.

In such a situation, it seems that they can only fight head-on. Li Ye can't predict the result, but there must be a lot of casualties.

Liu Zhijun said: "Your Majesty, why don't you make the soldiers shout, Bianliang is trapped!"

Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded. This move was originally agreed with the army before departure, calling the Bian army with a loud voice, and disturbing their morale.

But there has never been a chance to have close contact with the Bian army. It can be used at this time, but I don't know how effective it will be.

More than a hundred loud voices in the army shouted in unison:
"Bianliang has fallen, if you don't want to be wiped out, surrender quickly!"

"Do you want to be hacked into pieces like Qin Zongquan?"

"Think about your family, your wives, children, and mothers. What crime do they have to drag them to death?"

"Bianliang has fallen!"

Sure enough, Pang Shigu's troops slowed down their offensive, and Li Ye's cavalry slowly slowed down. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, they arranged for the front army to change horses first!
"The rear army set up arrows to guard, if there are nearly a hundred pacers, kill them, and the front army will change their horses!"

"The rear army is alert, the front army changes horses!"

The Bian army following Li Ye's cavalry only slowed down a bit and rushed straight forward. Seeing this, the rear army rained down a round of arrows, and hundreds of cavalry immediately fell off their horses. Slowed down a bit.

Another round of arrow rain followed...

"Recover Bianliang!"

"Quick surrender!"

"Only punish the chief culprit, and the rest will not be blamed!"

Some soldiers of the Bian army were also at a loss and stopped moving forward, while some ignored them and rushed forward, and the formation was soon torn apart.

Li Ye's guard horse army took the lead in changing horses, and then led the front army with bows and arrows, came to the front of the rear army, and asked the rear army to change horses quickly.

At this time, the front team of the Bian army had already attacked the front of the formation.

"kill!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, kill one enemy, reward twenty guan, military merit three turns, no cap!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, kill one enemy, reward twenty guan, military merit three turns, no cap!"

call!
This reward is already too high to make people jealous.

It is equivalent to three years of military pay for an ordinary soldier. In this world, it is seven or eight times to buy a slave of a middle-aged man, and three or four times for a woman can buy a young girl.

In addition to the three ranks of military merit, the corresponding military salary will also increase. You must know that after having military merit, there is a high probability that you can be promoted to an officer, so it is not called military salary, it is called salary money, and it has to be multiplied several times.

"kill!"

The court cavalry rushed towards the enemy's formation as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

One by one bravely took the lead, and the ones looking at the opposite side were not people, but money bags and military medals.

The Bian army has never seen such a posture, and its bravery is not worse than that of the Hedong army.

Then as soon as the rear team changed horses, as if they were afraid of being robbed of their heads, they rushed up one by one staring at the front team's buttocks.

In addition, there are constant noises from the sidelines, Bianliang has already fallen, and some soldiers of the Bian army, thinking about how the family is doing now, wonder whether surrender can save the family as the imperial army said?
With this dazed effort, the decapitated body is already in a different place.

In a short while, the whole army rushed and smashed through the Bian army's formation.

There are still half of the remaining people, but there is no fighting spirit, but the military law of the Bian army is strict, and they dare not escape, so they keep gathering and re-arranging.

How did His Majesty give them a chance, a turn, the front team changed to the back team, and the back team changed to the front team, and it was another smash.

Pang Shigu, who was a thousand paces away, looked at him with tears in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

"As long as you catch the emperor, this battle will be reversed immediately!"

Pang Shigu's cavalry had already captured Li Yun's troops. Li Yun's horsepower was exhausted, and most of the horses could not run. Some soldiers had no choice but to stop and change horses, and they were killed by the Bian army.

Li Yun knew that the last moment had come, and if the horse ran to his death, he would be more passive in the end.While the horse is still breathing, he can still fight.

"Soldiers, Your Majesty is watching us. After you die, your family members will receive generous pensions, and your spiritual tablets will be enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine for ten thousand years.

If anyone wants to escape, think about You Yu Lin Jun. Their family members became slaves, their property was confiscated, and they were driven by others. "

When all the soldiers heard about You Yulin's army, they all broke out in cold sweat.

It's too awful.

In the First Battle of Bozhou, the Youyulin Army was defeated by Zhang Cunjing, the Bian Army, and the court dealt with it very cruelly. All the deserters were executed, their families were enslaved, and their property was confiscated.

"I would rather die than escape!"

"We join the army to earn a living for our wives and children!"

Even the most uneasy people are trying their best to hold their positions.

There was a dull crash, and the people on both sides collided, the blades were red, and the guns were bleeding.

Li Ye saw that Li Yun didn't support him, and said to Liu Zhijun, "I gave you Qianqi personal guards, do you dare to save them?"

"Why don't you dare!"

Li Ye said: "Okay, you lead the army first, I will destroy the current enemy, and then lead the army to help you."

"promise!"

……

Zhu Wen looked down at the continuous loss of cavalry, and his heart was bleeding. There were no cavalry in his hands. Although Wang Qianyu's army of breaking the formation still had many people, it had already lost its combat power.

Fortunately, Pang Shigu caught the emperor's dragon-banner cavalry. Looking at his posture, it won't be long before he can cut the flag and win the emperor.

However, the imperial army sent an army of thousands of horsemen to charge directly at Pang Shigu's army formation, making Zhu Wen's heart beat in his throat.

"The whole army is on!"

"promise!"

The infantry of the Bian army was dispatched, but because the distance was too far, there were still thousands of steps before the battle, so it would have no effect on the battlefield for a while.

However, His Majesty the Emperor made sudden attacks several times, killing the enemy in front of him so that he did not dare to approach, and the whole army calmly approached Pang Shigu's army.
