Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1066
In fact, Wei Bo's defeated troops rushed back to Gaotang one step ahead of Xia's army.

There are still 2000 soldiers in the city, of which 1000 are Tutuan villagers, and [-] are Gaotang County town soldiers—in fact, these [-] people were originally village braves, but they just became regulars last month.

Three thousand soldiers, if they close the city gates tightly, they will probably be fine.But they were so brave that they decided to go out of the city to rescue Li Daonu and two thousand soldiers who were trapped in the siege.

But it was this decision that cost them a heavy price.

The reinforcements out of the city had just walked two miles when they encountered Zhang Wen and Dong Zhang who were chasing after them.

They were all [-] soldiers, but one side marched in a column and wasted a lot of energy because they were in a hurry; the other side detected the situation in advance, made some corrections, and then advanced in battle formation.

The collision between the two sides is almost one-sided.

After two years of precipitation, Zhang Wen and Dong Zhang are unstoppable.The old soldiers from Yin'anzhi and the Forbidden Army in the state army also set an example, taking the lead and shouting loudly.

The courage of the generals, the generals are so brave, the morale of the state soldiers is also boosted, and they fight the enemy bravely.

The two sides fought fiercely beside the woods, beside the ditches, and in the fields.

Zhang Wen held a long Ke ax and led dozens of warriors in iron armor, fighting and advancing.

Every time the ax is struck, the stump will definitely fall to the ground, and the blood will rain down.

With only [-] cavalry, Dong Zhang went on a rampage, and his iron spear was like a poisonous dragon, stretching and shrinking indefinitely.

Every time it comes out, it will inevitably take people's lives.

Those who take the lead are either the sons of generals who are eager to make meritorious service, or the veterans of the battlefield who are murderous.Their exemplary role is huge, like a sharp knife, they completely cut open the bloody chest and abdomen of the enemy, and then stirred desperately, completely cutting off their vitality.

"Chopping people is like chopping sheep, so much fun!" Zhang Wen laughed like a vent, swinging the long ax in his hand non-stop, making people wonder how much power is contained in his body, how can he never be exhausted?
But how can you guess the warrior who dared to use this heavy weapon on the battlefield?The Changke ax slashed heavily, and the bandit military academy urgently avoided the vital point, but was still smashed to pieces and fell heavily to the ground.

"Pfft!" A long spear stabbed from the side, and pierced the military academy's throat trickily.

This shot is steady, accurate and ruthless, and the speed is extremely fast. The timing is very good. Without more than ten years of experience in fighting on the battlefield, it is generally impossible to do this.

"Crack!" With the final blow of the axe, Wei Bing finally collapsed.

Seeing that he no longer needed his help on the battlefield, Dong Chang led his cavalry and rushed towards Gaotang County like a gust of wind.

There were still some conscientious guards at the gate of the city. Seeing that it was too late to close the gate, they shot directly with infantry bows and crossbows, and knocked down the seven or eight cavalry who were rushing the fastest.

Dong Chang was furious, he slapped his horse and rushed forward, stabbed a person to death with a single shot, and was about to continue killing thieves, when an arrow hit his horse unexpectedly, causing him to roll off the horse.

Several thieves rushed up, feeling as if they were going all out, raising their knives to chop.Fortunately, follow-up cavalry soon rushed up and scattered the enemy.

Dong Zhang escaped, and in a rage, armed with an iron gun, entered the city on foot.

There were few guards in the city, and a few townsmen and city people held bows, knives, and guns, and looked at them with complicated and unspeakable eyes.

"Who is going to die in front of Grandpa?" Dong Zhang pushed aside the spear that was stabbing him, stepped forward, and stabbed the enemy soldier to death with one shot.

Very standard striding assassination action, it can be used as a coach.

"Who's going to die?" Dong Zhang strode forward, the armor leaves on his body rattling.

"Why don't you farm well at home and want to be a thief?" Another shot was fired, and the thief fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with you, what's wrong with the imperial court?" The iron gun swept across, swinging several long spears away.

"Wei Bowufu, it's all a disaster!" Dong Zhang chased up a thief who turned around and tried to escape, and sent the tip of his gun into his back heart.

"Whoosh!" An arrow shot, piercing through the shoulder armor, causing burning pain.

Dong Zhang was furious.

He remembered the legend that has been widely circulated in the army: Yang Liang of the Golden Sword Army was hit by an arrow when he attacked Lanzhou. He was furious and chased after him with a sharp spear. Finally, he stabbed to death the Tubo bandits who shot him with arrows, and then pulled out the feathered arrows. , really shocked everyone.

He yearned for it and decided to follow suit.

One man risked his life, and several people were tied up.Under the coercion of more and more cavalry, the bandit soldiers soon couldn't hold on and retreated.

Dong Zhang scolded and chased after him without stopping.

Someone tried to sneak into the houses on both sides of the street, but was nailed to the wooden door.

Someone wanted to turn into another street, but he chased him and stabbed him to death.

Someone turned back to fight in despair, was stabbed in the abdomen by him, and then kicked away.

After getting on the head, the feeling came again, it really happened no matter how I hit it.Dong Zhang was like a god of war, he was fighting back and forth among Wei Bo's bravery, with few enemies.

"Trash! With this little ability, you still want to resist the heavenly soldiers?" Dong Zhang stepped on a dead body, trying his best to mock.

Some people couldn't stand the excitement, so they stopped running immediately, gathered more than ten people, and surrounded them with a loud shout.

"Boom" The sound of horseshoes sounded, and several horsemen charged straight up, knocking the thief to the ground.

There were already chaotic footsteps at the gate of the city, and Yan Bing had already rushed over.The Wei people gave up their resistance and fled in all directions.

Dong Zhang spat and laughed.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Wei Bowu's will to resist was fine.After repeated failures, he can still resist to this point, surpassing most of the feudal towns in the world, at least better than those guys in Ziqing Town.

Three thousand Yanzhou soldiers, he brought fifteen thousand.To be honest, their fighting desire and literacy are not much stronger. After all, the food and salary they get is less than half of the government soldiers, and their equipment and training are not as good as them, not to mention their combat experience. Many of them are recruits.The skills of these new recruits are not even as good as Wei Bo's ordinary bravery. Today's victory is entirely due to tricks and ambushes, as well as the exemplary role of veterans at critical moments.

However, just win!
The influx of a large number of infantry was two hours later.

Dong Zhang leaned on a stone lion and asked the medical officer to wrap his wounds, still bragging: "I think I took the lead in attacking Yunzhou and Qingzhou back then. After the battle, I wounded up and dug out more than ten arrowheads. Even His Highness praised my bravery when he saw it, and rewarded me on the spot with the concubine Ji who was brought into the mansion."

The medical officer was amazed when he heard this, and would say a few words from time to time, and when he scratched Dong Zhang's itchy spot, he laughed loudly again.

He also bullied the medical officer as a newcomer from the state and didn't understand the battlefield.In fact, as long as they have been in the battle for a long time, the warriors will have a lot of arrow wounds on their bodies. It is nothing to dig out more than a dozen arrows. He had to use his life to win wealth. He took more than 100 arrows from his body in his life. When he attacked Yunzhou, he climbed first, and the blood filled his sleeves. He died silently on the battlefield.

This is the war of narrow escapes.

When thousands of arrows are fired from the opposite side, there is no way to avoid it. What is it that supports you to move forward bravely?Are you really not afraid of death?
Maybe.For the sake of wealth and honor, there is nothing that warriors cannot give up, even life.It is difficult for people living in peaceful times to understand.

Wang Jiao entered the city on foot, still wearing heavy armor.

Dong Zhang glanced at it, closed his mouth wisely, and stopped bragging.

This is a "beast". He is good at riding, accurate in archery, can make a horse, and has the stunt of throwing a spear. He has to be convinced.

"The whole city is mobilized, arrest people! All Ding Zhuang who have participated in the prefectural and county soldiers and militia groups will be arrested and handed over to His Highness." Wang Jiao, who is You Yi's strike envoy, ordered on the spot.

Sergeants like wolves and tigers immediately took orders.With sharp knives in hand, they searched and arrested from house to house, and cut down anyone who resisted.

In fact, it is not clear at all who served in which army.The Weibo shogunate wholesales official hats, and there are too many people pulling teams, but they don't even have military uniforms. Many militia groups look like ordinary people, if you ignore the weapons in their hands.

This meeting can only be identified by captives.There must be injustices and omissions, but it doesn't matter, what they want is to capture and kill more Wei Bowu people.

If His Highness hadn't allowed them to massacre the city, I'm afraid they would have already done it - the massacre of the city, many people's faces changed, but for the sergeants, it was actually very tempting, they could rob property and vent their desires as much as they wanted. Burn it, and there will be no trace left.

"It's good to kill the thief! It's good to kill the thief!" Dong Zhang pushed the medical officer away and took the initiative to take the order.

Judging by his bloodthirsty and cruel appearance, it is estimated that nothing good will happen.

After a while, Ye Li Kecheng also rode his horse to arrive.

Wang Jiao immediately stepped forward to salute.

He is excellent in martial arts, but he is not stupid. He is good at winning over his subordinates and dealing with people.Dong Zhang is a rough guy who only knows how to fight and kill. Wang Jiao is too lazy to share his knowledge with him, but Ye Li Kecheng is different, and getting close with him will be very helpful for the future.

Wang Jiao is not willing to hang out in the state army for the rest of his life.

"Wang Dutou, after taking Gaotang, let's not be idle, first collect food and grass, suppress the rioters, and then find ways to capture more places, what do you think?" Yeli Kecheng also respected this hero who is both brave and very A wise general suggested.

"We have acted so cruelly that we have already been with Weibo forever." Wang Jiao pondered for a while, and said: "In the past, Weibo had only more than [-] households, but there were [-] soldiers, and the relationship was complicated. We have killed so many bandit soldiers inside and outside the city, and they also have relatives and friends. I am afraid that the matter is not that simple, and it is still too early to completely wipe out Gao Tang. General Ye Li, don't be impatient, you still have to take it slow."

"That's right." Yeli Kecheng smiled and did not refute directly, but quickly said in a low voice: "I heard that His Highness wants to reorganize the eighth Forbidden Army. Whoever has done the most to attack Weibo this time will have the opportunity to reorganize after the war." Bigger."

Wang Jiao was silent for a while, but he still couldn't help it, and asked, "How to organize?"

"The armies of Longxiang, Longwu, Pengri, Pengsheng, and Gongchen are besieging Linhuai. I guess one or two troops will be drawn when reorganizing after the war. You used to be the infantry in the left wing of the Tianxiong Army Commander, if you perform well this time, you have a great chance." Yeli Kecheng said: "It may not be impossible to be a military envoy."

Wang Jiao's heart skipped a beat.What kind of future is a soldier of the imperial army who is less than 30 years old?
