The king behind the empress

Chapter 365 The Great Victory
After Mo Chao went to intercept Yang Yanzhang, Lieutenant General Li was in charge of commanding the entire army. Originally, he was in charge of commanding the King Yu's army. Except for Mo Chao's personal guards, he brought out the rest of the soldiers. Yes, so after Mo Chao returned the command to him, the changes in the formation of the army were smoother than when Mo Chao was in charge just now.

Lieutenant General Li stayed in the tent of the Chinese army, keeping an eye on Mo Chao's situation. When he saw that the long spear in Mo Chao's hand was broken by Yang Yanzhang, his heart skipped a beat.

What Mo Chao held in his hand was an iron spear. Although it was not considered a magic weapon, it was not so strong. Now that it was dropped by Yang Yanzhang, it even saved the bending process and broke into pieces directly. It took two cuts, what a terrifying force it must be to achieve this effect.

Sure enough, after the iron gun was smashed, Yang Yanzhang's spear point directly slashed across Mo Chao's body, splitting him in two, and then Yang Yanzhang picked up the spear point, directly cutting off Mo Chao's head and hanging it on the gun. over the tip.

Yang Yanzhang lifted Mo Chao's head high, and then shouted, "Your general is dead, kneel down and surrender!"

Mo Chao's head hung on the tip of the gun, coupled with Yang Yanzhang's yelling, immediately caused a commotion in King Yu's army, just because the Chinese Army Commander's Flag was still there, and Mo Chao's head was full of blood , Those soldiers who were far away could not recognize Mo Chao for a while, so the riot did not turn into a rout.

As for those who are close, most of them are the guards trained by Mo Chao over the years. They are loyal to Mo Chao. come over.

Seeing that his shout had no effect, Yang Yanzhang didn't pay much attention to it. As for the guards rushing in front of him, although he appreciated the loyalty of these guards, it was impossible for him to be merciful when the two armies were fighting.

Therefore, he took the Cunyan Spear with his left hand, continued to lift Mo Chao's head high, and pulled out the waist knife from his waist with his right hand. Wei Jun, he didn't use any moves at all, he just slashed at him head-on.

After one blow, the oncoming guards were cut in half by him, even their weapons.

Yang Yanzhang kept waving the long knife in his hand, almost one knife at a time, and soon left a pile of corpses and broken arms behind him.

After all these guards were dealt with, Yang Yanzhang, who originally wanted to lead the Chiyan Dragonrider directly through King Yu's army, felt the strength gap between the two sides, so he suddenly changed his mind and turned his attention to King Yu's army. On the banner of the Chinese army.

Lieutenant General Li, who was under the banner of the Chinese Army, saw Mo Chao's death, and his heart sank immediately.

The Second Young Master was actually killed, this is a big trouble, if this is the case, even if this battle can be won, he will not be able to explain it when he goes back.

What's more, Lieutenant General Li looked at the Red Flame Dragon Knight who killed people like cutting melons and vegetables, and he couldn't see the possibility of winning at all.

If the second young master got in and returned in defeat, then the prince would have to kill himself to sacrifice the flag.

It's just unrealistic to surrender or escape. My family members are still in Xiangcheng. If my side surrenders, then they will die.

Just when Lieutenant General Li felt a little bit embarrassed, he suddenly felt a cold gaze. He raised his eyes and found that Yang Yanzhang, who had just killed the second son, was looking at him.

Although he knew in his heart that Yang Yanzhang was looking at the handsome flag behind him, but he still couldn't restrain the boundless fear in his heart. He could clearly see the scene where Yang Yanzhang shot and killed the second son just now.

The second son is in the marrow washing state and even ended up like this, if it were him, wouldn't he be smashed into meat sauce with one shot?

Seeing Yang Yanzhang, who started to adjust the direction of the charge, and charged at him, Lieutenant Li, who was a little scared in his heart, issued several military orders in a row to let the soldiers under his command block the way of Yang Yanzhang's charge.

As the flag was waved, the army began to change its formation, and the troops kept gathering in front of the handsome flag, trying to block Yang Yanzhang's charge.

Sensing the changes in the formation of the opposite army, Yang Yanzhang could feel that the current commander of the opponent had already sensed his purpose, and more and more enemies appeared in front of him.

Generally speaking, when faced with infantry outnumbered by one's own side, the cavalry often gathers their forces to form a frontal formation, and then chooses the weak point of the infantry to charge there. Charge head in the opposite direction.

After repeating this several times, after the formation of the infantry is torn apart, the defeated infantry cannot organize effective forces to defend against the cavalry charge, so they will naturally be slaughtered.

Therefore, when Yang Yanzhang is now facing the local main force gathering in front of him, the best choice is to avoid its edge and charge directly from the weaker flanks.

But Yang Yanzhang didn't choose to do this, he looked back at the invincible Red Flame Dragonrider, with a grin on his face.

"What about the eight-fold difference in troop strength, and what about the assembly of the main force?"

Yang Yanzhang put his saber back into its sheath, then slammed Mo Chao's head off the spear point, "My Scarlet Flame Dragonrider is invincible in the world, and I killed your main force."

After saying this, Yang Yanzhang raised the speed of his horse suddenly, and shouted, "Red Flame Dragon Rider, lead by me, follow me to cut the general and pull out the flag!"

Because Yang Yanzhang opened the way ahead, the Red Flame Dragonriders quickly followed up. Hearing Yang Yanzhang's words, the soldiers who followed immediately roared:
"Kill, kill, kill!!!"

The entire Red Flame Dragonrider, using Yang Yanzhang as an arrow again, directly charged towards the commander-in-chief of King Yu's army.

It's just that Lieutenant General Li kept piling up his troops in front of the commander-in-chief flag, causing the team of the Red Flame Dragonriders to gradually shrink. The front arrow formation that had expanded into a right angle was compressed back to an acute angle.

After the angle of the formation became smaller, the killing area was reduced by more than half, but the penetration power was more than doubled. Yang Yanzhang's Red Flame Dragon Knight quickly approached the commander-in-chief of King Yu's army with the momentum of breaking bamboo.

The dense army formation in front of them was destroyed by them. Seeing that Yang Yanzhang was getting closer and closer to him, Lieutenant General Li couldn't care about anything at this time, and turned his head and fled from Shuaiqi.

As he ran away, the army lost its command, and it suddenly seemed a little chaotic, and some people who were always paying attention to Shuaiqi saw that Lieutenant General Li took the lead and ran away, so naturally they would not stay behind to die, and followed Lieutenant General Li directly. , began to run away.

Although Yang Yanzhang didn't see Lieutenant General Li fleeing, he who was rushing to the front obviously felt that the pressure in front of him was much less at this time. The soldiers on the opposite side seemed to have suddenly lost their positions, and even the army formation was a little chaotic. , and even said to stop himself and others.

Yang Yanzhang would not let go of such a good opportunity, he shouted loudly: "The enemy's formation is out of order, follow me to kill!"

Yang Yanzhang, who was holding a big gun with an inch extension, rushed to the commander-in-chief's banner first. After seeing that the commander-in-chief's banner was empty, he suddenly understood. It turned out that the main general commanded by the enemy ran away. stand up.

Yang Yanzhang, who wanted to understand, was not polite either. He swung the spear in his hand, and the handsome flag with a thick bowl rim broke immediately and fell down.

"Your general is dead, immediately kneel down and accept the surrender!!!"

Yang Yanzhang immediately shouted after cutting down the commander-in-chief flag, and the Chiyan Dragonrider also echoed, shouting loudly: "Kneel down and accept the surrender, and you will not die!"

The handsome flag stands in the army, and almost everyone can see it. When Yang Yanzhang killed Mo Chao just now, he asked them to surrender. He didn't take Yang Yanzhang's words to heart.

But it was different at this moment. Hearing the shout of the Chiyan Dragon Knight, they looked at Shuai Qi again. When they saw that Shuai Qi was no longer there, they immediately panicked. I couldn't find it, and looking around, I could even see some people running towards the rear.

As a result, the morale of the army collapsed in an instant, and countless soldiers immediately ran in the opposite direction to the Red Flame Dragon Knight. If someone stood in front of them, they would simply draw their swords and slash at them regardless of their feelings. , even more ruthless than when facing the Red Flame Dragonrider.

As for those supervising teams, they ran faster than those soldiers, and the army of Prince Yu's Mansion collapsed in an instant.

Yang Yanzhang looked at these fleeing soldiers, and immediately frowned. If these rout soldiers were allowed to escape, there might be a lot of disasters when they got there, so he immediately turned to Zheng Anmin and the others and ordered, "Divide into ten teams, Go chase and kill the broken soldiers, make sure not to let a single one go!"

"Here."

Zheng Anmin and the others responded, and the five thousand red flame dragonriders were immediately divided into eleven teams. Except for the team led by Yang Yanzhang, the other ten teams each went in one direction. cried out loud in his mouth,

"Kneel down and accept the surrender, and you will not die!"

The maneuverability of the Red Flame Dragon Rider riding the Scarlet Blood Dragon Horse is much faster than these fleeing infantry. They don't care so much as they move forward on horseback. As long as they don't kneel down and accept surrender, they will be killed.

Seeing the speed of the red-blooded dragon cong, those soldiers who felt that there was no hope of escaping immediately knelt down, and after the other soldiers realized that they would not die after kneeling, they immediately knelt down in large numbers.

After the situation gradually stabilized, Yang Yanzhang felt a little more at ease. After all, this Great Zhou was still Mo Zizu’s Great Zhou, and it was still the Great Zhou of the imperial court, so it would be less troublesome to suppress the rebellion, or it would be less troublesome if he turned around and smashed it. The imperial court had to spend money and efforts to rebuild it.

Most of the Red Flame Dragon Knights were sent out by Yang Yanzhang to hunt down the rout, and only Yang Yanzhang's team of more than 100 people was left to guard the prisoners, but Yang Yanzhang was not worried at all. If you are so courageous, even if someone wants to take the opportunity to resist, there will not be too many people to respond.

And in the case of a small number of people, not to mention that there are more than 100 people under Yang Yanzhang's command, even without him, he can kill them all.

After suppressing two waves of surrendered soldiers who stood up and wanted to escape, the surrendered soldiers with more than 1 kneeling on the ground suddenly no longer dared to move, and became extremely honest.

As for Du Cang and Du Yu, who watched the battle from beginning to end on the city wall, they were both a little stupid. After a while, Du Cang came back to his senses and asked in a dry voice: "Du Yu, what are you doing?" When you were in the frontier army, have you ever seen such a strong army?"

"I heard that all the barbarians in the grassland are martial arts. Do they have this kind of strength?"

"That's impossible."

When Du Yu heard this, he retorted subconsciously: "Those prairie barbarians are very powerful, but they are far behind these people."

"If those savages had such strength, our frontier army would have been killed by them long ago."

At this point, Du Yu paused, and then said hesitantly: "However, I heard from the old man in the army that the barbarians seemed to have such a strong strength a long time ago."

"But that's about Emperor Gaozu's time, it's too far away from now, so it's not certain whether it's true or not."

In fact, in the past, Du Yu always regarded this story as a lie. After all, the grassland was barren. Where did those barbarians get so many resources to support so many warriors, and they were all concentrated in the army, which was simply unrealistic.

It's just that when he saw the Red Flame Dragonrider in front of him, his thoughts suddenly wavered. Maybe those prairie barbarians in the past were really so strong?
Du Cang rubbed his face hard, and then let out a long breath, "Whether those barbarians are real or not, the army in front of us must be real anyway."

Speaking of this, Du Cang suddenly understood what Mo Zizai was doing, "No wonder that King Zizai acted so recklessly. If I have such a strong army in my hands, I can be ten times stronger than him!"

"With such a strong army in your hands, you can't be invincible."

"That's not necessarily true."

Du Yu retorted, but he seemed to have some scruples, so he didn't continue, but changed the subject and said, "Master Du, now that the rebel army has been defeated, should we go down to meet them?"

"Well, that's fine too."

Du Cang didn't ask Du Yu, but followed Du Yu and said, "Let someone slowly remove the stone blocking the city gate. Let's go down from the hanging basket first and pay a visit to the general."

Because of the shortage of manpower in the city, at the beginning of the war, Du Cang ordered people to seal the four city gates with stones. Getting out is also a hassle.

Du Cang asked people to slowly clear the stones behind the city gate, while he and Du Yu led dozens of guards and went down the hanging basket directly to meet Yang Yanzhang.

Looking at Du Cang who came out of the city, Yang Yanzhang glanced at the surrendered soldiers kneeling on the ground, and then led others to greet them without hesitation.

Anyway, it is impossible for these soldiers to run past the Scarlet Blood Dragon Cong with their two legs. Even if someone escapes at this time, he will catch up and kill them at worst. It's not a big problem.

Most of the helmets of Scarlet Flame Dragonriders are fully covered, that is, the kind that covers the entire face, leaving only a pair of eyes outside, but the helmets of generals like Yang Yanzhang are exceptions. As the chief general, his helmet It's half-wrapped, and the whole face is exposed.

The reason why his helmet is different is that in addition to highlighting his identity as the coach, the main reason is that the all-inclusive helmet will affect the vision. As the commander, they need to observe the situation on the battlefield at all times.

Therefore, such things as all-inclusive helmets actually do more harm than good to them, and it is naturally impossible for them to choose.

So when he walked in front of Du Cang, Yang Yanzhang bowed directly to Du Cang without taking off his helmet.

"This general, Yang Yanzhang, the commander of the Yuzhi Army, is your Excellency the county magistrate of Cangyi City?"
