subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Zhang Guiba thought well, Zhu Wen was indeed ambushed, and there were 2 enemy troops, while Zhu Wen only had 5000 troops, and they were not elite. The elite troops were all in Zhang Guiba's team, and there were no muskets They all followed Zhang Guiba and the others into the city.

Just after Zhang Guiba entered the city and the city gate was closed for less than a cup of tea, a 2000-man army approached here. Zhu Wen saw that the other party only had about 2000 people, so of course he was not afraid, and ordered Zhang Guiba to let him go. Hou eats up these 2000 people.The two sides didn't answer, just went up and started fighting. Zhu Wen's team had no muskets, and the combat effectiveness dropped significantly. It was not at 01:30, and they could only suppress firepower with bows and arrows. The cavalry charged, and the infantry was the main force to advance slowly. The conventional way of fighting, even Zhu Wen has no better way.

Although it is 2000 people against 5000 people, but without sharp thermal weapons, it can only be done step by step. 2000 people are not a small number, and these two thousand Shandong men are not fuel-efficient lamps. Shandong people are famous His bravery, is it so easy to deal with?

This battle was fought in the dark, with corpses everywhere. It can be seen that Zhu Wen's Bianzhou soldiers are very powerful. Although these 5000 people are not Zhu Wen's elite troops, they are Zhang Guiba and his brothers. Under the leadership of Zhang Guibian, the three soldiers brought out bravely killed the enemy one by one.is not that right?As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, not to mention that at this time King Dongping personally sits behind the town, and the prince is watching from there. Who doesn't fight the enemy bravely?Who doesn't want to show it in front of the prince, although Zhu Wen may not be able to notice it.

Just when Zhu Wen's 5000 men were raging these two thousand Shandong men, there was a sharp sound of hooves, and in the night, the dark cavalry surrounded them in a fan shape. If he retreated hastily, the [-] enemy troops who were surrounded still had people from before, and when the time came to fight back, wouldn't he be in a situation where he was under the enemy's back?Zhu Wen could only tell Zhang Guibian with a semaphore, asking him to destroy the surrounded soldiers as soon as possible.

Of course, Zhang Guibian had already spotted the enemy's large cavalry, and the posture would not be less than 2000. Behind the cavalry, there must be a large infantry. It's just cannon fodder, the real elite is still behind.The mission of these 5000 people is to drag Zhu Wen's [-] troops so that the brigade behind can calmly form an encirclement circle, and Zhu Wen's troops will be wiped out.

In the current situation, even Zhu Wen felt a little guilty. After all, only 5000 of his 500 people are cavalry, and the rest are infantry. On the battlefield, cavalry has strong mobility and conflicts.The speed of the cavalry was very fast. Before Zhang Guibian wiped out the encircled enemy army, the enemy cavalry had already rushed to a distance of less than one mile from their own side.

Zhu Wen had already made defense preparations, 1000 archers bent their bows and set arrows, and several Liannu had also been prepared. Zhu Wen regretted that he did not bring a catapult. Without that kind of large weapon, I didn't expect to be ambushed by the enemy outside the city.

It's too late to say anything now, the first thing to do is to resolve the immediate crisis.The enemy's cavalry had no intention of stopping at all, and rushed straight to Zhu Wen's position. Just as they entered the range of the bow and arrow, Zhu Wen gave an order that a thousand archers came at too high an angle. A round of coverage shot.

Due to the long distance, flat shots cannot hit the enemy at all, so they can only shoot from the back without aiming at all. A thousand feathered arrows traced a parabolic trajectory across the sky like a black mass of locusts and landed on the enemy's cavalry in the team.

The enemy's cavalry were all light cavalry with leather armor and no iron armor at all, but even so, this round of covering fire did not hurt many enemies.Because the full range of this kind of covering shooting is too far, when the arrow lands on the enemy, it doesn't have much strength at all. It rolls to the ground immediately when it hits the leather armor, and it can't even penetrate the leather armor. Only a few people are killed. Shooting the horse or the face of the knight only hurt a few people.

The lethality of bows and arrows is not strong, especially at a little distance. The so-called hundred-step piercing is just a legend. Maybe it's okay to practice with accuracy, but the strength of bows and arrows is beyond human control.After all, it is determined by the strength and elasticity of the bow, which cannot be controlled by manpower.This is the weakness of cold weapons.

After a round of upward shooting, the enemy's cavalry rushed a lot closer. Zhu Wen ordered to lower the angle and shoot flat. Some who couldn't dodge stepped directly on the fallen knights, and some horses were tripped, and the formation was a little messed up.

Then there was another round of arrow rain, and there were many enemies, so the archers under Zhu Wen didn't aim at all, they just bent their bows and shot the enemy with their eyes closed. Charge, after Zhu Wen fired three rounds of bows and arrows, he decisively asked the archers to put away the bows and arrows, put on spears, and prepare to fight the enemy hand-to-hand.

Except for the musketeers, all the soldiers under Zhu Wen's command have a bow and twenty arrows, some are equipped with spears, some are equipped with supplementary knives, and they are all people who can attack from a distance or fight hand-to-hand.Although these soldiers were a little apprehensive when they saw the enemy's large cavalry rushing over, they couldn't help cheering up because the prince himself was in command. Behind them was the enemy's city, and Zhang Guiba's troops were still fighting inside. Now the explosion inside Not long after the sound rang, Zhang Guiba had already rushed through the Wengcheng, entered the city, and was fighting in the city. Not to mention that they didn't know the situation outside, they might not be able to get out in a while, after all, the city There are also 2 defenders.

At this time, Zhu Wen already knew that the ambushes outside the city were Zhu Jin's men. With a firm face, Zhu Wen commanded the battle calmly. The army cavalry was chopped into two pieces by Zhu Wen with a knife and a horse, blood spattered, and the scene was extremely shocking.

Zhu Wen's 300-strong personal army followed Zhu Wen closely, for fear that the prince might make a mistake, but Zhu Wen didn't care at all. A large iron sword flew up and down, and those who touched it would die, and those who touched it would die. At this moment, Zhu Wen became a murderous demon on the battlefield, and under the dim moonlight of the waning moon, he looked even more terrifying.

The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of gold and iron clashing, one after another, the two armies rushed together quickly, and at this time it showed the strength of the cavalry. Although Zhu Wen was brave, after all, his own cavalry was only 500 people, even if the combat power was stronger than the enemy Double, they are not their opponents. The infantry who joined the battle group are not opponents of their cavalry at all. The enemy cavalry used the advantage of speed to charge from a long distance, and killed many Zhu Wen's infantry in one round of sprinting. into a melee situation.

This is a plain area, which is most conducive to the cavalry charge. Although the soldiers of the Bianzhou Army fought the enemy bravely, their strength was very different after all, and they suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Zhang Guibian had already dealt with the [-] enemy troops at the beginning, and turned around to join the battle group. Zhu Wen's Bianzhou army fought desperately one by one, even if they died, they would pull a back.Although the Yanzhou Army's cavalry is powerful, they can't take advantage of it at this time, and the two sides have become stalemate.

But after all, the advantage of the cavalry is not covered. Generally speaking, the enemy still has a slight advantage, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties.

But the house leak happened to be raining all night. At this time, the infantry of the enemy army in the distance was coming here, and the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard from a distance. More than 1 people came running together wearing heavy armor. The scene was not ordinary, and it was simply impossible for more than 1 people to hide their whereabouts.

Zhang Guibian rushed to Zhu Wen's side in a hurry, and said in a hurry: "My lord, the enemy's infantry team will arrive soon. It seems that there are more than 1 people. You should take the remaining 300 cavalry to break through the encirclement first, and return to the big army first." Battalion, I'm coming to pester the enemy's cavalry."

Zhu Wen said: "Old Zhang, how can this be done? How can I retreat when you and I are fighting? Let the brothers take risks here? If you have something wrong, how can I explain it to your elder brother?"

Zhang Guibian is still young, but at the age of 23 or [-], he was taken by his elder brother Zhang Guiba since he was a child, and even martial arts were taught by Zhang Guiba, but Zhang Guibian is very brave in combat, and he is also thicker than his second brother Zhang Guiba He is much more stable, so Zhu Wen always keeps him by his side.

Seeing that Zhu Wen did not leave, Zhang Guibian said anxiously: "My lord, you are a man of ten thousand gold, how can you be in danger easily? As the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, my three brothers from the Zhang family were greatly favored by the lord. At the time of reporting, if the lord makes any mistakes, even if I save my life, my elder brother will not let me go, now is not the time for benevolence of women, lord, go away!"

Zhu Wen didn't know the current situation, the overall situation is the most important thing, he sighed secretly in his heart, and said: "General Zhang take care!" After speaking, he let out a roar, and moved forward with [-] cavalrymen and his remaining [-] cavalrymen. To kill them, they must fight a bloody road and break out of the enemy's encirclement.

Zhu Wen took the lead, wielding his sword like a windmill, no one could stop him, and there was no one general under his command, and the enemy soldiers who were blocked along the way were killed and turned on their backs.

Zhu Wen's personal soldiers and 01 cavalry are the elite of the elite, which is different from Zhang Guibian's infantry. It is not 30:[-] who are powerful.It took only two bags of cigarettes to rush out, and the crowd surrounded Zhu Wen and wanted to escape far away.The infantry rushing over from a distance wanted to intercept them, but infantry were infantry, how could they stop these elite cavalry?Being surrounded by Zhu Wen calmly with his team, these infantry could only stare blankly, there was nothing they could do.

The enemy's cavalry wanted to chase, but they were held back by Zhang Guibian's infantry. Quickly joining the battle group, Zhang Guibian felt more pressure.

At this time, a thousand enemy cavalry also took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle group and were replaced by new infantry. The 1000 people chased in the direction where Zhu Wen fled...
