Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1050
On the north bank of Fushui, with the arrival of an army, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, almost shaking the tiles of the houses in Cizhou City.

The Flying Bear Army is here!
The battlefield progressed so smoothly, and Shao Shude, who was based in Anyang, decisively joined the reserve team: Flying Bears and Silver Spears.

Now in Anyang City, there are only 2000 people from Yin'anzhi, more than [-] state soldiers, and thousands of Zhengzhou Tutuan villagers. Let's see if Wei Bowu can break through the right wing of the Tianxiong Army and beat Shao to escape alone. Turned the tide of battle in one fell swoop.

In the short term, it's impossible, because they haven't reacted yet, and haven't taken any action yet.

The Feixiong army was specially armed when they entered Hebei.The knights put on thick armor, held thick and long horses between them, and the auxiliary soldiers led the horses, and walked slowly in front of the formation.

The appearance of the Flying Bear Army is superb, and its effect on boosting morale is quite obvious.Under their blessing, all the besieging soldiers and horses fought bravely, and with the help of the Jin people themselves, the progress was not small. The southern city wall of Cizhou was in disrepair for a few days, and there were many damages. One of the biggest gaps is several feet long.

Jin people brought many bricks, stones, door panels, and sundries to block the gap. Xia Bing gave up his life and rushed forward bravely. The two sides fought fiercely here.

The Silver Spear Army was still crossing the river, even more powerful than the Flying Bear Army.

They will not stay in Fuyang for too long. After the supplies are completed, they will go west immediately, with the goal of Shi Junli's Department of the Huangjia Army stationed here in front of the hall.

A part of the Wuwei army arrived here the day before yesterday, with [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, unable to attack the stronghold, they took advantage of the situation to set up camp.

Yesterday, Li Keyong personally led Yi'er and Hengchong's second army to Fukou, joined forces with the Huangjia army in front of the hall, and defeated the Wuwei army.More than [-] cavalry of the Silver Spear Army were going to reinforce the Fukou battlefield, and the Flying Bear Army would also send reinforcements to block Li Keyong and create opportunities for Fuyang.

Magnetic State has indeed reached a critical moment.

Lu Huaizhong got off the high platform and arrived at the front line in person to command and supervise the battle.

The general held the epee and stood behind him, with blood dripping from the blade.

This person's name is Shao Shenjian, and he has just been in office for a year.He is from Weizhou. He was captured by Liang Jun in his early years, then worked in Liang Jun, and later was captured by Xia Jun. He was added to Wuwei Army as a supplementary soldier.Because he is good at epee, his merits have been promoted.After Lu Huaizhong's previous general died accidentally due to the military chaos in Hezhong, Shao Shenjian stepped forward and commanded two hundred Lu's personal soldiers.

According to common sense, the main job of the soldiers is to protect the safety of the general.But for Lu Huaizhong, they supervised the battle most of the time.

For several days, Shao Shenjian could no longer remember how many heads he had beheaded.Recalling the experience in Wei Bojun ten years ago, I almost felt a sense of absurdity as if I had passed away.

Only Liang Jun and Xia Jun can do this.The Shence Army during the Xianzong period could also do it, but if it was done in other feudal towns, it had to pay attention to the right time, place and people, and it couldn't be killed casually, you had to find an opportunity.

Another wave of sergeants collapsed under the condescending arrow rain from the enemy.

1000 people rushed up, and only half of them came back. The ten general Lu Daofu was covered in blood, and there were two arrows stuck in his armor.

"Uncle..." Lu Daofu muttered.

"Behead it!" Lu Huaizhong ordered without batting an eye.

Shao Shenjian raised the epee and was about to cut it off.

"Uncle!" Lu Daofu wiped the blood off his face, and said, "My nephew will charge again, even if I die, I won't regret it."

Lu Huaizhong hesitated for a moment.In the end it was his nephew, he decided to give it another chance, and said: "I promise you will take the blame and make meritorious deeds."

Shao Shenjian gently lowered the epee.

He had just seen clearly.During the battle for the opening, the Jin army could hardly hold on anymore, but because arrows rained down on the city walls on both sides, the Xia army was attacked on three sides and suffered heavy casualties.

The two armies are fighting each other with one breath.

This kind of key fight, if you change to another place, it may be nothing to return, and the general will not be too harsh.But Liang Jun and Xia Jun didn't allow it, and Shao Shenjian had mixed up with both sides, so it couldn't be more clear.

In the past, Zhu Quanzhong was even more ruthless. He pulled out his troops and beheaded people, forcing the warriors to move forward bravely and never retreat.

Under the strict military discipline, there are generous rewards.

Women, goods, mansions, and official positions are rewarded happily from top to bottom.There is even a legend in the army that King Xia had no choice but to reward some beauties to the warriors.

The good thing is that you have to trade your life for it.

Lu Daofu bandaged up a little, and then led the five hundred rout soldiers to form a team in front of the formation.Lu Huaizhong transferred him two battalions with 1000 infantry, and collected [-].

With the sound of the war drum, the infantry of the third battalion first walked slowly, then ran quickly at small steps, and went straight to the gap.

Up and down the walls on the east and west sides, the battle has also reached a fever pitch, only the north side is relatively calm.

"Kill!" Lu Daofu took the lead and charged forward.

In just a short while, the Jin army built a few more door panels at the gap.But this couldn't stop the desperate warriors. The two sides fought with spears and epees, killing a man and turning his back on his back.

Lu Huaizhong walked slowly in front of the formation.

Obviously, his heart is not as calm as he appears.The first big city to be besieged in the north cannot be delayed for too long, and it cannot afford too many casualties. It must be resolved quickly.

A new wave of [-] pawns had rushed over the gap.

The Jin army resisted desperately, and arrows were still raining down on the city walls on both sides, but this time no one dared to retreat, and they would die in the city.

"Rush in!" Shao Shenjian said softly.

Lu Huaizhong stopped and looked intently.

Indeed, the soldiers of the Wuwei Army had already climbed over the barrier at the gap and rushed into the city.

But he still dare not take it lightly.After crossing the obstacle, the formation was scattered and everyone was injured. If there was a reserve team of the Jin army waiting for them in front of them, none of them would survive.

The stragglers who have weakened their strength have no chance of winning in the face of the armored soldiers who are recharging their strength.

Xia Bing outside the gap was still rushing in.

During the charge, people were constantly shot down by arrows, but they were all red-eyed. No one cared whether they were dead or alive at the next moment. They only had the enemy in their eyes, and they wanted to chop the enemy to the ground and tear them to pieces before they died!
"General Tu's third commander from the right wing, come on!" Lu Huaizhong ordered.

Give an order, and another two thousand warriors, carrying large shields, holding long spears, step bows, and long axes, charged forward aggressively.

Behind them, the warriors commanded by General Tu's fourth right wing stepped forward, put on their armor and sat on the ground, waiting to attack.

Their faces are serious, but they are not the kind of scared expressions, but a kind of numbness and indifference that are used to seeing life and death.

Those who eat this bowl of rice usually take money so readily, so they should have this kind of awareness.

A quarter of an hour later, the fourth commander also set off.

At this time, the rain of arrows on the top of the city slowly fell.Obviously, some people abandoned their bows and went down to the city to fight.

Jin Bing was no longer seen at the gap, and there were densely packed brown-clothed warriors everywhere, rushing inward like a tide.

Lu Huaizhong had already sat down.No need to ask, the front says it all.

The fighting continued until noon.At a moment's notice, there was a tsunami-like clamor in the city, and the Jin army's general flag on the top of the city was cut off and slowly floated to the ground.

Lu Huaizhong suddenly got up.

"Captain, listen, the soldiers are cheering." Shao Shenjian said happily.

Lu Huaizhong smiled and nodded slowly.

After a while, a messenger rushed out from the city and whispered a few words.

Shao Shenjian's expression changed, he hurriedly approached Lu Huaizhong, and said, "Dutou, General Lu Shi died in battle."

Lu Huaizhong's expression froze, he sighed lightly, and said nothing.

Crossing Fushui in one day and breaking through Cizhou City in five days may seem like a rainbow of momentum, but all the costs were actually doomed before the battle.Either you or him, this is war.

Lu Huaizhong found Zhe Butai, the deputy envoy of General Tu, and left him several infantry commanders with relatively heavy casualties, and appointed him as the envoy of Cizhou Township.

"The rest of the ministries, remove the armor, reorganize the team, and follow me to the north." Lu Huaizhong summoned the generals and ordered.

Cizhou was conquered, and everyone was still smiling when they heard the words.

"Don't understand?" Lu Huaizhong said with a serious face, "Follow me to the north, attack Handan, and capture An Jinquan alive."

Li Junqing, governor of Cizhou, is dead.Died in his own state office, suffered more than ten wounds all over his body, fought to the last moment, did not humiliate his identity as a warrior.

The soldiers of General Tu who beheaded him also admired him and did not humiliate the corpse.Lu Huaizhong ordered craftsmen to make a coffin and bury it.

In Lao Lu's view, it is the duty of warriors to fight each other for their masters on the battlefield.People who have done their duty will be respected regardless of whether they are enemies or friends, and this is also an important means of cultivating the spirit of martial arts.

When the generals heard what Lu Huaizhong said, they were also shocked by his arrogance.

"Why? Scared?" Lu Huaizhong glanced at these people one by one, and said: "Our army is tens of thousands, and it is a new victorious division. The morale is high, and we are going northward. Are you afraid that Li Ke will fail with those ten thousand cavalry?"

"Dutou is so brave, how dare we wait for life and fear death?" Li Yixian, deputy envoy of the Wuwei Army, said: "The last general invites Qing Dao to be the envoy of beheading and chopping, and lead the front to go north."

"As you wish!" Lu Huaizhong smiled and said, "Give me two infantry commanders and two cavalry commanders, and go north immediately."

"Of order." Li Yixian replied loudly.

"Anxiuxiu is still You Yi's envoy. Li Yanwei!" Lu Huaizhong said again.

"The last general is here." General Tu Yu Li Yanwei stepped forward.

"You can be a phase magnetic coordinator, and take two infantry commanders and one cavalry commander to cover the grain road."

"As ordered."

"Give the Jinglue Army an order to open the border. Mingzhou cannot be defeated for a while, so don't attack it by force. Part of it will go westward, capture Linming and Wu'an counties, and cut off the retreat of the Handan bandit army." Lu Huaizhong ordered again.

During the siege of Cizhou in the past few days, the Fifth Academy Army in Handan also sent people south, but they were repelled by An Xiuxiu's [-] cavalry and an infantry army of General Tu.In addition, An Jinquan, the military envoy of the Fifth Academy, was also worried about the safety of Mingzhou, so he couldn't make up his mind to go south with the whole army, so he did nothing.

Now that the magnetic state has been broken, he will be next.If Li Keyong does not know the opportunity, he will encounter even greater failures.
