Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 101 Chasing Death and Chasing North ([-])

Feather arrows flew towards them with a scream, and a young thief fell to the ground panting heavily.

His breathing gradually changed from heavy to fine, and his round eyes stared straight at a certain wild flower that had been trampled to such an unseemly shape.

Like the dandelions that can be seen everywhere in the village.Floating with the wind, I don't know where it lands, life and death, one year old and one withered.

People are worthless!

"Whoosh, whoosh!" Another round of arrows rained, and the thieves who rushed to the front fell like weeds in the wind.Facts have proved that even with iron armor, it is impossible to resist strong bows and crossbows at such a short distance.

However, the thieves in the back row still gritted their teeth, let out meaningless roars, and rushed up fiercely with long guns in both hands.

"Kill!" Both sides hardly made any defensive moves, they all stared at each other's chest and abdomen, and then thrust the spears in their hands hard.

Blood splattered, and people fell down row by row.

At this time, the competition is the willpower and endurance of both parties.Whoever can't suppress the fear in his heart first, whoever can't stand the casualties first, will be defeated first.

The bandit army rushed twice in a row, the battle front was defeated, and the soldiers were culled and killed.As for the Tielin Army, they just changed to another battalion and stepped forward, and the formation was as tough as ever.

The second wave of the bandit army charged into battle, but the Tielin army did not move.

Shao Shude once asked Zhuge Shuang: "The enemy soldiers come with all their strength, how can we defeat them?"

Zhuge Shuang replied: "Don't fight with them urgently, avoid them and kill their fronts, drive them and lure them to collapse."

He asked again: "The enemy is outnumbered, what will we do in the future?"

The answer said: "To be the first is to win the enemy's heart. A soldier is powerful, and he can fight first to shock the enemy. If he takes advantage of it, he will be vigorous. If the enemy is too busy to support him, he will be like a broken bamboo. Solve it, don't touch it again."

He also answered: "There are three things that a soldier can think of as power. One is momentum, the other is terrain, and the third is power."

In today's battle with Meng Kai, the bandit army failed to charge twice, and their momentum has fallen.The terrain is the same on both sides, above the boundless wilderness.In terms of situation, the bandit army is far behind. In fact, I have believed all kinds of news brought by the soldiers for a long time, so I hesitated.After rushing twice in a row without moving, I felt flustered and felt that this battle would be difficult to win.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The drums sounded, and several battalions of the Tielin Army marched forward.

After repelling two elite bandit attacks, now it's my turn to attack.On the right wing, the camp led by Li Tangbin and Guo Qi has quickly moved to the enemy's flank and is about to launch an attack.The balance of victory and defeat in the battle slowly began to tilt.

Rushing footsteps sounded, occasionally mixed with the sound of nail leaves colliding.Under the sun in the west at noon, soldiers from several battalions of the Tielin Army, holding sharp long spears, stepped across the corpses of both the enemy and us, and across the blood-soaked grass.They are ordinary sergeants, but they have formed an extraordinary army formation, marching forward indomitably!

The wounded but not dead enemy Zhan Feng staggered back and fled, but was soon submerged in the boundless long lance jungle.

The enemy's infantry fired a volley, and a large area of ​​the Changlong jungle collapsed, but it was quickly filled by the back row, and the formation was as tough as ever.

"Pfft! Pfft!" The two armies met and stabbed with long spears.

The splattered blood and distorted faces seemed meaningless in front of the icy machine-like jungle.The formation continued to move forward, wherever the jungle passed, it was like a knife and ax cutting into a bamboo joint, pushing it to the end.

The first bandit formation collapsed so easily in front of the steel forest.

"Kill!" Guo Qi roared, and the small chisel flew out, hitting the thief on the forehead.

Behind him, the brigade stepped forward with pawns armed with long lances, and rushed bravely towards the enemy's flank.

The thieves were worried about the defeat of the front line, and the flanks were attacked again, and they suddenly fell into a panic, and there was a lot of noise.

Shao Shude also once asked Zhang Yanqiu for advice: "If the enemy surprises us from behind or from the flanks, the army will be in chaos, and the enemy will attack us while taking advantage of it. The danger is especially serious. How can we break it?"

The answer was: "Draw the team. After the head of the team is turned over, the team's deputy will turn over the front team, and the soldiers will watch the team's deputy's actions. Every other team will draw a team, retreat a hundred steps, and the other team will stay and set up their guns and knives. Holding the bow and crossbow and setting up the arrows, it is the battle momentum."

It is a pity that the enemy army is unable to make such complex tactical actions at this time.The advancing speed of the central army of the Iron Forest Army was too fast, and the speed of their front army's rout was also too fast. Although most of the rout troops fled from the gaps on both sides to the rear and did not disturb the formation of the central army, the front and flanks were attacked at the same time. Morale was affected to a considerable extent, so just as soon as the two sides fought hand-to-hand, the position of the rebel army was shaken uncontrollably.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes came from a distance, and it was clear to my ears.The thieves became more and more flustered, and the soldiers in the front row almost fled after a little resistance.But there are people on the front, back, left, and right, so where can they escape?On the contrary, it will only bring Pao Ze, who wanted to resist, into confusion, and his hands and feet will be restrained.

The officers were furious, brandishing whips, maces, and scabbards, shouting and cursing, but to no avail.

The rout spread rapidly like an infectious disease. One soldier after another threw away their spears and bows, turned around and pushed their own robes.Behind them is the ruthless long lance jungle, a cold killing machine, they would rather show their backs to the enemy than look directly at the bloody lance blade.

The bandit army collapsed.

"Huh la la..." Zhesi Yulian and his horse crashed into the bandit army.The hammer flew, screaming everywhere it went.

On both sides of him, a large group of riders threw away the horse spears that had pierced the enemy's chest, drew out their knives and axes, slashed horizontally and vertically, and used the horse's momentum to move forward.

The thieves have collapsed, there is no longer a fearful spear or rifle to hinder them, no more annoying hooked sickle gun or long-handled ax sneak attack, they are cutting the enemy line freely, dividing it into small pieces, and preventing them from easily reuniting stand up.Then go back to the horse and run, easily reaping the fruits of victory.

Crowds who have lost their organization are not much different from flocks of sheep.The sheep will only flee and scatter, and the crowd will only run and crash.The collapse of tens of thousands of bandits is spectacular. Looking down from the sky, at first hundreds of people, then dozens of people, finally dispersed completely, scattered all over the wilderness.

Shao Shude ordered his infantry to pursue.

The order at the beginning was: "Run in a row, with a limit of [-] steps. After [-] steps, organize the formation and continue the pursuit."

As a result, later on, it was discovered that the bandit army had completely collapsed, and there was no possibility of the whole army returning to fight, so they ordered the scattered pursuit, with the team as a unit, to chase death and chase north!

This chase, from the daytime to the sun's west slant, from Shengao Station to the bank of the Weishui River.The thieves were routed into an army, trampled on each other, crossed the river, and countless people died.Even the thieves who couldn't escape in time threw away their weapons, wept and fell on their knees, begging the winner to spare their lives.

Surrounded by his followers, the thief quietly touched a small branch.There are several boats hidden here, which can ferry dozens of people to the other side.

It's ridiculous that he and all the soldiers declared that they would live and die together, and that they would fight with their backs to defeat the Tang army.In the end, he still secretly prepared a way out, leaving tens of thousands of troops on the north bank.

"General, take me with you." Several bandit soldiers who fled here in a panic saw the boat, immediately ignited hope, and said excitedly.

Meng Kai looked at these people, they had no armor, no weapons, and they were out of their minds, so he motioned.

The relatives agreed, and immediately took a few people with them, picked up their bows and arrows, and killed them all on the ground under the unbelievable eyes of the bandit soldiers.

"Let's go." Meng Kai was also a little sad.

With the battle like this, there is nothing to say, and I should plead guilty to King Huang when I go back.

It's not like they haven't experienced such a fiasco, but it was all early days.Since Huang Wang led his army northward from Guangzhou, he has never suffered such a miserable defeat.Of the [-] troops, more than [-] people were lost on the spot, and most of the thousands of soldiers in Jingyang did not end well.Either they collapsed on the way out of the siege, or they fell directly.

In short, the army he brought to Hebei with his own hands is finished!
Zhu Wen and Li Xiang, two thieves!It will definitely end badly in the future!After King Huang regroups and defeats the Tang army, you must wait for your head to pay homage to the [-] soldiers in Gaoling and Jingyang!

Shao Shude, a butcher!He drove so many soldiers into the river, let them trample on each other, and were buried in the belly of the fish. Among them were his own relatives, two nephews who had grown up with him.

This blood debt will be recovered sooner or later!
The boat drifted away.

The setting sun was like blood, reflecting half of the river red.
