Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 275
Seeing this scene, Ge Congzhou sighed deeply. He has led troops for many years and naturally knows how much preparation is needed for a counterattack, how much training should be done in usual times, and the soldiers need enough trust in the coach. If you can't do anything, you must Will not command so freely.

Not to mention, using luggage to lure bandits to self-destruct their formation is really amazing.

"General An is a true god general, pass on my general order, no need to wait for Wang Zhongshi, and forcefully cross the Xiaoqing River immediately!"

"promise!"

"Deputy Chief Ge ordered to forcefully cross the Xiaoqing River immediately."

Under the cover of the shield soldiers, the craftsmen propped the boat to Hanoi, fixed it with wooden boards, and built a pontoon bridge. The place that had been built was full of archers, and they shot at the archers of the bandit army on the other side. In the river, the blood stained the river red.

Ge Congzhou didn't pause. He was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Deaths are nothing. Even if thousands of people were added, as long as they crossed the river, the price would be worth it.

What made him nervous was the soldiers and horses under his command. He knew the soldiers and horses of the Bian Army well. If you don't know what to do, you dare not use these troops in the most important direction.

In fact, he trusted the 8000 men under his command more, and the 7000 men under Wang Zhongshi's command.

The archers lined up on the pontoon bridge in front of him are his men and horses, and the heavy armored infantry under his command are on standby. They are the first batch to rush over and build a human fortress on the shore to cover the existence of the whole army crossing the river.

What he is about to face is a last stand, a death situation, and he will survive after death. Ge Congzhou never dared to think that what he wants is to stabilize the formation, join forces with Chief Anfujiang, slowly advance to Sun Ru's army, and wait for Zhu Zhen's army After arriving, encircle and wipe out the bandits.

But the development of the military situation gradually exceeded his expectations.

An Fujiang is also a true god.

A thousand cavalrymen, led by deputy general Chen Xiaojing, plunged into the bandit bandit, slashing from left to right, invincible, without the protection of shield soldiers, these infantry were vulnerable to a fight, and Chen Xiaojing's cavalry were all wearing heavy armor, There is no solution for piercing weapons that are not spears, or heavy weapons such as long lances and heavy hammers.

In addition, the left Shenwei infantry of the rear team immediately followed and rushed into the rout army.

"kill!"

The mass casualties of bandits started from here. In terms of the morale of the army left behind, even the three men and horses of the Guizhou Army who had never fought any battles were bloody at this time, and the Zuo Shenwei army pursued The formation was still roughly maintained, and these Guizhou troops completely let go of the generals, and each of them cared about the formation.

With the cavalry in front, the infantry in the back are completely in the wind.

And Zhao Dexun's 1 horses were originally prepared for Yang Xingmi's attack. At this time, as the rear army of Sun Rujun, he was responsible for breaking the rear.

Seeing the black and crushed defeated army rushing towards them, Zhao Dexun frowned, and hurriedly slapped the remaining soldiers standing in front of the formation with their knives.

Zhao Dexun personally beheaded a rout soldier, cut off the head and held it in his hand.

"Son of a bitch, if you want to run away and run away, if you dare to stand in front of the battle, see if my blade is not sharp."

At this time, Zhao Dexun was like an evil god. Standing horizontally in front of the formation, the defeated soldiers fled to both sides of the formation, but there were still many soldiers on the two wings who were dispersed by the defeated soldiers.

Zhao Dexun was cursing, and looked forward with his eyes narrowed. At this time, he also saw that more than a thousand cavalrymen were coming to kill them. As long as they blocked these cavalrymen, they would buy time for the rout. , will surely turn defeat into victory.

"Brothers, you also saw it just now. The officers and soldiers are very rich. If you kill them, you will have money and food. I promise you that I don't want any money. I will reward you all."

"kill!"

"kill!"

Zhao Dexun's army was ready for battle, and the shield soldiers were ready to meet the cavalry attack.

But Chen Xiaojing, the deputy commander of the Zuo Shenwei Army, is not a fool, he will plunge into the army as Zhao Dexun expected.

Chen Xiaojing was from the Hedong army, he was the deputy general who followed Zhu Yezinu, he was used to fighting with cavalry.

In fact, when the cavalry confronted each other, it was rare for them to charge directly at the infantry formation, which would cause the greatest damage. Perhaps the entire cavalry would be scrapped if they did not charge a few times.

According to military law, the biggest advantage of cavalry is mobility and powerful impact.

And although Chen Xiaojing also wanted to confront the bandit army head-on, in front of the bandit army, surrounded by a group of full-armored infantry, he must be the leader of the bandit army, but he could also tell that the front line was well defended, and there were few people on his side, so he might be a Charge, half of the people will explain here.

It's not that there is no chance, the way for the cavalry has been paved long ago, they just followed the rout and hacked all the way, looking for an opportunity to rush in from the weak point of Zhao Dexun's army.

Where is the weak point of Zhao Dexun's army of more than [-] men? Naturally, it is the rear team. Looking around, there are not many shield soldiers.

Chen Xiaojing bypassed the front line, ignoring the flanks, and when the chasing rout reached the rear line, he led the army and turned around sharply, like a sharp sword, stabbing fiercely at the buttocks of Zhao Dexun's army.

call!The killing started right under Zhao Dexun's nose.

Without the protection of the shield soldiers, these infantry were like lambs, constantly being harvested for their lives, spurting blood donations, and fierce screams one after another.

Zhao Dexun knew that he had met his opponent.

The cavalry of the officers and soldiers rushed into the formation. There were archers, spears, and swordsmen there. They had no protection, and most of them did not have decent armor. Even the shield soldiers at the front were in a scattered formation.

Zhao Dexun took a long breath and watched his own army slowly crumble like the former army.

Anfujiang's infantry followed closely like front and rear feet, rushed up, and pursued until now. These soldiers were wearing armor and running thousands of steps.

Victory is like an aphrodisiac, making these soldiers rush into the battle one by one as if they had been pumped with blood.

"withdraw!"

If the army has no fighting spirit, it will be defeated after a long time. It is better to retreat early, and it will not be too late to fight again after the whole army has stabilized its position.

Sun Ru was in the rear, watching this scene, he was also helpless. If the 3 men in his hand were sent out, who would stop Yang Xingmi, and who would monitor the Shangguan army at the crossing, it would undoubtedly be best to return to the military camp first. of.

At this time, there was a drum noise on the Xuanzhou city tower, and the Xuanshe army came out of the city gate. General Li Shenfu shouted, kill!

"kill!"

Yang Xingmi followed closely behind, holding a sword in one hand and a rein in the other, and followed the soldiers and horses out of the city.

He had seen the bravery of the court army just now, the Zuo Shenwei army had two victories in two battles, like a tiger descending a mountain.

If I don't attack again, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink even a mouthful of soup!
