Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 45 (Part [-])

The warhorse screamed and the blood rushed.

The area in which Tie Lindu was in contact with the enemy cavalry was actually not large, and the frontal cavalry could only handle dozens of cavalry. Coupled with the existence of Xiaopo, the enemy cavalry only rushed forward for a short distance at first, and then lost. Gaining speed, he started a melee with Tielindu's infantry.

At this time, if they can organize another charge without being disturbed, they will most likely be able to take away Tielin, whose formation has been scattered.It's just that he was intercepted by Hedong cavalry along the way, and then broke through the obstruction of Zhongwu Army and Yicheng Army. Finally, the more than [-] cavalry that rushed to Li Kan could no longer make any tactical changes. They could only improve their horse speed to the extreme. , came a ferocious wave.

A wave of flow is actually a gamble.Bet you can't hold it, bet you are afraid, bet you collapse, and once you don't win, you will lose all your chips.These carefully selected five cavalrymen from the north have lost the bet at the moment, more than [-] cavalry, less than [-] cavalry in front were stopped, the speed of the horse plummeted, the rear can't rush past, turn the horse's head in an emergency, and it's a mess Some people even fell to the ground because they could not control the war horse, were trampled by iron hoofs, and screamed again and again.

The bowstrings kept ringing.Such a close distance, such a dense crowd, every shot seems to take a life away.The sergeants of Tielindu became more and more brave with each battle, and even the other two directions that had not been impacted came to reinforce them.

Shao Shude held the reserve team tightly and did not put it into battle.It is no longer necessary. If the enemy cavalry misses a hit, they should find a way to escape.What Tielin has to do now is to leave as many enemy cavalry as possible and teach them a profound lesson.

There were dull footsteps in the distance.Shao Shude stood at a high place and could see very clearly that the Yicheng Army had left the large formation and was marching in a column, trying to attack the enemy cavalry from the rear.

Their routines are similar to those of Tielin. They all come with a few waves of arrows first, to surprise the enemies riding high on the war horses, and then the shields in the front row quickly squeeze them in, knocking off the piercing horses. Or riding a spear, creating opportunities for Paoze with a four-meter spear behind him.

The battle was fought like this, and it can be said that the raid was a complete failure.The enemy generals were also unequivocal, and they acted decisively. Regardless of whether it was their own people or the enemy standing in front of them, they smashed them open with their mace, and then rushed out first.

"Whoosh!" A heavy arrow flew down from the small slope and hit the man's chest with precision.Although he was blocked by the iron armor, the strong momentum was irreversible, and he was taken down from the horse directly.

"Kill!" When the soldiers of Tielindu saw that there was something to gain, five or six long lances stabbed them immediately.The enemy general's personal soldiers are like crazy tigers, sweeping with horses, blocking with their bodies, and trying their best to protect their main general.

The enemy general dropped his helmet on the ground and stood up with his hair disheveled.For the first time, panic appeared in his eyes. He was surrounded by the army and infantry, and there were more people rushing over from the outside. How could he kill them?

"Kill this thief general, I'm afraid it won't be rewarding a hundred pieces of silk!" Tie Lindu's soldiers shouted, more than a dozen people stabbed straight, and the enemy generals were left and right.

"Whoosh!" Another arrow shot, directly through the gap in the skirt armor, and nailed it into the enemy general's calf.He stumbled to his knees on the ground, and was about to say something, but saw a big axe approaching from the sky, slashing fiercely at the junction of his neck and shoulders.

Blood spurted out.The axe-wielding Tie Lindu soldiers kept moving, and after several consecutive strokes, they lifted up a bloody head and shouted, "The thief general, the rear camp Xu Hao!"

******
The north wind howls, the flag hunts.Li Kan stood on the small high slope and fixedly looked at the soldiers and horses in the east of the river on the other side.

These people dare to hang themselves in Hebei!
The battle is long over.The enemy cavalry that came to raid about [-] people was first intercepted by the Fanhan cavalry under Zhang Yanqiu, and then shot by the Zhongwu Army and Yicheng Army's bows. Most of the Yu Qi was damaged, and even the main general Cheng Huaixin was beheaded.

In this battle, they lost at least [-] cavalry, and the remaining more than [-] people ran to the distance to watch, and they wanted to avenge the main general, but they felt that there was no chance, and finally they could only retreat in despair. They didn't dare to enter, and disappeared directly into the vast wilderness.

Cheng Huaixin's identity was confirmed by interrogating prisoners of war.After Li Kan learned about it, he was very happy and promised Xu Hao [-] pieces of money and [-] pieces of silk on the spot.As the boss of Tie Lindu, Shao Shude has finally resolved the tenth general title he had been thinking about before. Li Kan made it clear that Tie Lindu has made a lot of credit.

This is all as it should be.

Tielindu's performance this time, even if not amazing, is quite qualified.Many of the previous rewards did not have gray hair. The military men had high morale and skilled combat skills. They did not worry about collapse at the touch of a button, showing a strong cohesion.The most important thing is that they really know how to fight, know how to fight when and how to fight at other times.

What I didn't say, after going back, it was a lot of rewards.Li Kan's other powers are limited, but he still has the ability to issue rewards.Not only Tielin, but also the Zhongwu Army, Yicheng Army, Zhang Yanqiu and even the villagers of the Daizhou Tutuan who have contributed this time.Hedong Army?Hehe, let alone the reward, Lao Li will take care of it this time.

After winning the battle, Li Kan's expression was different.At this time, Shao Shude accompanied him on a war horse and patrolled the battlefield.Zhang Yanqiu made great efforts, and although he could not say that he was the goalkeeper in Hedong, he must have caused a lot of trouble.Li Kan tried to win over him and pulled him to talk a lot, but Zhang Yanqiu's face was gloomy and he was very worried, which made Li Kan very unhappy.

Shao Shude looked aside and sighed.Li Kan's character, he has figured out a little now, he is narrow-minded and does not run away.At the beginning, Zhe Silun politely refused to enter Jinyang, but as a result, he was immediately assigned to the front line of Lanzhou. Zhang Yanqiu may be a good player in marching and fighting, but he is really not a man. You have already offended Hedong Jiangmen, and you are absent-minded about Li Kan's solicitation. This is not thankful for the two ends, and the next day is afraid to be very sad.

After the victory on the north bank, the speed of the Hedong army crossing the river suddenly accelerated.In less than an hour, General Zhang Kai brought his subordinates to greet him.

"General Zhang, why is it so late?" Li Kan asked with a cold snort, looking at Zhang Kai, who was late.

"The wind suddenly picked up, flying sand and rocks, and the river surging. The soldiers were dazed and restless, and it was not easy to force the last generals, for fear of causing chaos." Zhang Kai replied.

"Do you know that there is a ban on killing in the army?"

Zhang Kai's expression changed.His previous words were actually half-truths and half-truths. It was selfish to sit and watch the situation and make Li Kan make a big fool, but it was also true that he didn't dare to force the sergeant.Although these generals are arrogant and domineering, they dare to violate the yin and yang of the commander, but it is impossible to say that they can cover the sky with one hand.Once the sergeant mutiny, no one dares to guarantee that he will survive, even if you are a veteran veteran, you will die.

"This commander's northern tour, I haven't made an inch of merit. Will the general take Fanzhi County for me?" Fortunately, Li Kan didn't really seize this point, but gave Zhang Kai a chance to appear to be guilty of meritorious deeds.

Standing on Li Kan's side, Shao Shude glanced at the dozens of personal soldiers beside Zhang Kai from the corner of his eye, thinking about how Sergeant Tielindu, who had just experienced the battle, could quickly take him down.Of course, this doesn't mean that Li Kan wants to kill Zhang Kai. He hasn't lost his mind yet. Although he is extremely angry that Hedong's soldiers and horses sit and watch him fall into danger and do not rescue him, but at this time, if he does something bad, he will be forced to turn against him. Tens of thousands of horses, he can not afford this responsibility.

"The last commander will obey the order. It will be late today, and the troops and horses will be rectified. Tomorrow morning, we will attack the city and vow to take Fanzhi County." Zhang Kai replied, with no expression on his face, obviously much smarter than Zhang Yanqiu's fellow.

After meeting Zhang Kai, Guo Fei, He Gongya, Yi Zhao, Kang Chuangui and others will come again soon after seeing Zhang Kai.

Li Kan hates these people very much, but he can't really treat them. It's conceivable.Shao Shude followed Li Kan the whole time, and he looked like a competent pro-military general.The Hedong generals had already inquired about the process of the previous battle, and they were a little surprised to know that the rebel general Cheng Huaixin had been beheaded by Tielin.

Rebels can fight, everyone knows that.But Tie Lindu, who was born in the Tiande army, was able to carry the five cavalry troops from the north to the front and kill the enemy generals. morale.

After Zhang Yanqiu also arrived, he said hello to Shao Shude.He had witnessed the whole battle with his own eyes, and admired Tielindu's fighting ability. In addition, he had a friendship to fight side by side, so he gave a lot of goodwill. Even Shao Shude took the opportunity to ask him for advice on military matters. Do not hesitate to answer.Kang Chuangui looked very bad when he saw the two being mixed together, while He Gongya snorted coldly and scolded "dog thing" in a low voice, not knowing who he was scolding.

After returning to the main camp of the Chinese army, Shao Shude asked Li Yanling and Chen Cheng to discuss the compensation for the casualties.Having made such a great contribution, Li Kan certainly can't be stingy in terms of money, so there will be no shortage of pensions and rewards.However, how to successfully deliver the pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers is a difficult problem.

Shao Shude thought about it and felt that no matter how difficult it was, he had to do it.It's not his style to fool soldiers and keep their word.Everyone has eyes, they are all watching, you fool them this time, next time there is an enemy cavalry rushing into the formation, do you think everyone will fight to the death?
"Let's do some statistics first." Shao Shude looked at Li and Chen and said, "I guess Zhaoyi Town has the most, followed by Lan and Shi Erzhou. Everyone must write it down. When I go back, I will invite the commander. Send an official letter, and then send troops to escort pensions and property across the border. Chen Cheng, you go back to Zhaoyi, Lao Li, you go to Lanzhou. No matter how far or how difficult, this matter will be done. None of my soldiers can die in vain. By the way, bring an extra [-]% or [-]% of the money. If you encounter difficulties at home, give a little more. The soldiers are not far away, and they are fighting for a certain Shao in Hedong. I wish I could personally comfort them. Let's do it this way, if you don't have enough money, you can exchange those horses for money, there is always a way."

In this battle, Tie Lin did indeed capture a lot of war horses, about [-] or [-] horses.After the war, Shao Shude sent [-] horses to Zhang Yan's tent as a thank you.The remaining [-] horses initially decided to stay by themselves, but if the funds are insufficient, it doesn't matter if they go out and exchange for money, anyway, they have no plan to form cavalry.

Husband battle, courage also!Where does courage come from?In peacetime, no penny is given for rewards, and compensation for casualties after the war is in place; for meritorious deeds, there are rewards, and for faults, punishments are given;In this way, the courage will be multiplied. Although the enemy has thousands of troops, I will stand still.
