Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 107 Huang Ye ([-])

On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the third year of Zhonghe, after several consecutive days of unsuccessful invitations to fight, Shao Shude basically understood the state of the enemy army: low morale, fear, and lack of fighting spirit.

Sun Bin is indeed a master of the art of war.The two armies have equal strength and are facing each other. It is indeed the first thing to do to test the inside information of the enemy.In fact, Shao Shude was prepared to fail in the test, but he didn't expect the bandit army to be so sparse. Wang Yu broke through the camp in half a day, and Guo Qi succeeded in attacking at night, killing hundreds of enemies, burning down the camp, and losing military resources.

This army is not as good as Meng Kai half a year ago, and even less than Zhu Wen was more than a year ago.

So, he didn't intend to waste any more time.The soldiers and horses of the four camps in the northeast camp won another big victory yesterday, capturing and killing more than 2 thieves.Li Changyan of Fengxiang Mansion in the west also led [-] people to fight against the bandits in the field, with a small victory and beheaded more than a thousand.

Today's Chao Jun really doesn't need to give too much praise, just fight directly!
At Chen Shi, after another invitation to fight did not respond.Shao Shude directly ordered Lu Huaizhong to order four battalions of soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers to prepare for the attack, while Li Xiaochang of the Fufang Army took the lead to consume the enemy's arrows and fill up the trenches.

The drums of war sounded.Li Xiaochang gave an order, and more than a thousand soldiers attacked the frontmost bandit camp.

Hiding behind the camp fence and shooting arrows, the nest people seem to have some courage.Li Xiaochang watched with pain all over his face in the battle to fill up the trenches, but there was nothing he could do.Who made me rush to the camp in the north?Now Wang Chongrong is the commander of the camp in the northeast, and Li Keyong is the deputy commander of the camp. I am already a camper in the north, so why bother?There is no way out!

After paying more than two hundred casualties, the trench was finally filled.The soldiers of the Fufang army rushed up again, and the bandits resisted desperately. After a lot of effort, they finally drove the Fufang army back.

"Shao Shuai, the bandits are fierce, why not..." Li Xiaochang stammered.

"Attack again." Shao Shude said expressionlessly.

Wang Yu, Guo Qi, Lu Huaizhong and others also looked at Li Xiaochang, their eyes made Li blush a little.

The drums sounded again.

Li Xiaochang got angry this time, carefully selected more than a thousand people, led by his nephew, and rushed up viciously.

The killing sound shook the sky, and the arrows flew horizontally.

After all, the camp was not a city, and the bandit army was in a hurry, and the construction was relatively rough, so the Fufang army once broke through the camp gate and fought fiercely with the bandit army.But in the end, he was still short of breath, and was pushed back a little bit.

"Cai Songyang!" Shao Shude said loudly.

"The end is here!"

"Lead your battalion soldiers and rush to the camp!"

"Order!"

A battalion of [-] soldiers approached the battalion in the midst of the battle with orderly steps.

When the thieves in the camp saw it, they immediately shouted, "Butcher Shao is here."There were arrows flying towards the wall of the stronghold, but the distance was too far to threaten the armored Sergeant Tielin at all.

Shooting arrows randomly at this distance will only waste energy in vain, and the bandit army is also panicked.

Soon, Cai Songyang ordered the four teams of archers to come forward, and there was a wave of shooting.

After shooting, regardless of the result, the shield hand was in front, the rifle hand followed closely behind, and rushed straight to the gate of the camp.

"Stab!" Regardless of whether it was the bandit army or the running around, everyone who stood in front of them was stabbed in pieces by the long spear.

"Shoot arrows quickly!" "Block the gate of the camp!" "If anyone dares to escape, kill them immediately!"

The general of the bandit army is still making the final struggle, and there are also loyal soldiers around him desperately resisting.But not everyone thinks the same way as them. Ordinary thieves now know the brown military uniforms of the Iron Forest Army. When they saw this gang of fierce gods coming up, their morale immediately fell to the bottom.Those who dare to stand and release two arrows before running are all warriors. Some people just turn around and leave, not wanting to fight to the death at all.

"Huang Wang Xuer and others plundered goods and women, and this is how to repay Huang Wang?" A thief general was furious, and angrily reprimanded the fleeing soldiers.However, no one paid any attention to him. Those who were polite knew how to run around him, and those who didn't give face just knocked him away.If you want to be the loyal minister of King Huang, you can do it yourself, we are not interested.

"Shoot!" A wave of arrows rained down the sky, the thief stared wide-eyed, bleeding from his orifices, and fell to the ground.

And his death also indicated the change of hands of this camp.

The bandit army is not as capable as the soldiers of the eight towns in the northwest of Beijing, and they were allowed to occupy Chang'an for two years. The state affairs are like this, so there is nothing to say, but fortunately, it is finally coming to an end.

"Continue to attack! Let's see how long Huang Ye can retreat!" War is based on courage, and Shao Shude knows the truth of going all out. The bandit army is so discouraged today, so when will it be better not to beat the dog in the water?
I vaguely remember that Liang and Jin struggled for hegemony in later generations, Liang Jun stationed in Yangliu City, and erected twelve villages nearby, but the Jin army destroyed them all in one day. I don’t know how far the Tielin Army can achieve today?
The drums continued to sound.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the third year of Zhonghe, the morale of more than 5000 troops in the north camp was like a rainbow, and they successively broke through the three villages, capturing and killing nearly [-] nest thieves.At night, Huang Ye never dared to fight, and continued to shrink his troops to defend the main camp of the army.But the morale of the thief army was low, and everyone knew that they could not hold on.

******
"Pack up your things, we can't fight this battle." Huang Ye anxiously turned around in the big tent with his bloody long sword in his hand.

He had just beheaded the poor mother and daughter, and he didn't even want to eat dinner, and wished he could withdraw to Chang'an now.

Now there is no one in the camp who really wants to fight, Zhang Guiba may be one of them, but after coming here once, he disappeared, as if he has realized that there is nothing to do.

Huang Ye didn't bother to care what these people were thinking, he just wanted to leave now, the farther away the better.There has been news from the west that the Korean, Chinese and military capitals are discussing the withdrawal of Chang'an.It's just that Huang Wang still wants to persevere, to see if there is any hope of holding on.After all, the officers and soldiers besieged Chang'an twice, but failed in the end.

This third time, maybe it also failed?
But Huang Ye didn't dare to think about it.Today is different from the past. In the past, there were only 20 to [-] Tang troops fighting them in Guanzhong. When it was less, it was [-] to [-]. Now there are probably [-]!Moreover, after two years of fighting, the old soldiers withered, their morale was low, and the military discipline was even worse.

Sergeants, it is already unbearable!
"General, there are many rangers of the Tang army outside. The messenger wanted to rush out just now, but was intercepted and killed."

"General, which way are you going? Someone is setting fire to the south, and I don't know which camp is on fire."

"Brother Zhang Guiba has run away."

"General, the Tang army is beating drums in the east, are they going to march?"

"Shut up!" Huang Ye stabbed out with a sword, slammed into the chest of the valet, and said viciously: "It's noisy all day, it's giving me a headache."

"Let's go now, don't pack your things!" Huang Ye hurried out of the tent with his sword in hand.

There was some commotion in the camp at this time.The sergeants are not stupid. During the battles these days, the Tang army has been so aggressive that even some camps cannot be defended. They have long been afraid and hoped that the general will order the troops to retreat.Although Huang Ye didn't inform everyone that he was going to withdraw at this meeting, as long as he had eyes, he could see some clues.

Huang Ye couldn't care about the morale of the army anymore.Out of the handsome account, directly find a general.

"General Ji, are you ready?" Huang Ye asked.

"The six hundred elite soldiers are all old brothers who have followed the general for many years." General Ji knelt down on one knee and said in a trembling voice: "I hope the general will take care of a certain family."

"Don't worry about this matter. If there is a stutter, General Ji's family must spend it." Huang Ye helped him up, and his voice was a little choked.

"The last general will go here." General Ji glanced at Huang Ye again, and strode away.

After a while, hundreds of people came out of the camp, opened up torches, and attacked the Tang army's camp.

Huang Ye took a hasty glance, then surrounded by his entourage, he sank into the darkness.This evening, he has sent a general and more than [-] people to camp in the west, and they will be ready to meet them at that time.After he left, all the generals in the battalion would lead their troops back one after another. This place cannot be defended anymore!
Although it is said that if you escape in the night, the army will be in chaos, but there is no other way.Butcher Shao is so aggressive, how can he leave under his nose during the day?The other battalions had already sent people to inform them that although it had been arranged who would go first and who would be left behind, Huang Ye had no hope at all and would definitely leave in a swarm.Zhang Guiba vowed to fight, so why not leave first?

At this time, there is no need to talk about military discipline.No one likes to hear these things, and don't laugh at anyone, you only have one life.

The camp was full of goods and food, so as not to disturb the Tang army, the mules and horses did not take away a few horses, so I hope they can stop them.Now that all the armies have lost consecutive battles, presumably Huang Wang will not do anything to him.

I can't stay here in Chang'an anymore, I still have to go back to Henan.
