Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 509 The Battle of Fen Shui
On May [-]th in the fourth year of Dashun, the sky was clear and sunny.

Suitable for - fighting!

Zhang Hanyu looked up at the Jiangzhou military camp not far away.The gate of the camp has been opened wide, and a large group of soldiers are coming out of the camp to line up.

Looking at our own side, more than [-] people have successfully crossed the river and gained a firm foothold on the north bank of the river.

However, the sergeants looked a little tired, like mud monkeys all over, but their spirits were not bad, maybe the reward of five coins before departure had worked.

On top of the earth bag in the river, wooden planks have been laid to form a temporary temporary bridge.

Puzhou sergeants continued to go northward along this temporary bridge.As long as another five or six thousand people come over, the North Shore will basically be stable.

But the thieves are finally going to fight!

Wang Yao had discussed Huangchao with the late Langya County King. She was not a mediocre person who did not know how to fight. Although she didn't know why it was so easy to let them cross the river, but now she sent more than [-] people out of the camp, and laid out An offensive posture.

this is correct.It is possible to win when they have just crossed the river, lack of strength and unstable foothold.

But Zhang Hanyu is confident.

Because the one who crossed the river is Jianjiedu, who has repeatedly made military exploits, and is not an easy person.

The marching drum sounded quickly, and the two armies approached slowly.

However, at a distance of more than a hundred steps, the two sides shot two rounds of arrows at each other, and they immediately fought hand to hand.

Zhang Hanyu lined up behind the formation, and he keenly noticed that the Jiangzhou army had been shaken during the exchange of arrows, and scattered soldiers fled in the formation, but they were quickly suppressed.

Looking at our own side again, no one fled, and they carried the arrows hard.As expected of Jianjie Capital, the Tielin Army of Shao Bandit is nothing more than that, right?

At the place where the two armies handed over, the Jiangzhou soldiers obviously couldn't hold back their strength. After a short time of confrontation, some people turned around and fled, which then affected other people, and the entire formation began to disintegrate.

"Huh?" Zhang Hanyu was a little surprised.

He expected to win the opponent until Jianjie, but it was too easy to win, right?Who are the other people coming up?Is it possible that it is the training of the village brave team?
"Dutou!" The left and right generals looked at him excitedly, and said, "We won the first battle! If you stay behind, you have something to say first, and the one who makes the most credit can be the governor of Jiangzhou."

Of the five prefectures in the river, Puzhou is also the envoy of Jiedu. Ci and Xi prefectures have continuous mountains, which is not very interesting, and Jin and Jiang prefectures are relatively good.Although they have been harmed by Li Hanzhi for several years and their household registration has dropped sharply, they each have more than [-] people, which is still very good.

The governor of Jinzhou is likely to be given to Liu Xun, fuck it!
Then, only Jiangzhou can fight for everyone, but it needs to show real credit, such as the first place in the fight against chaos.

"How did the bandit army become so sparse? Wang Yao's subordinate is the foreign town army, so it's not like this." Zhang Hanyu wondered.

The rewards, equipment, and training of the Outer Town Army are exactly the same as those of the Yamen Army. They are commonly known as "Yawai Army" or "Town Soldiers", and their strength is not bad.

"Dutou, what do you want to do so much! The bandit soldiers can't stand it anymore, they are about to collapse. Let's take advantage of the situation and charge in, wrap up the defeated soldiers, rush into the enemy's formation, and seize the camp." The general said.

"Yes, Dutou! Tao Jianzhao's men have already crossed the river by more than a thousand people, and if we wait any longer, we will miss the opportunity!" After finishing speaking, he glanced behind and saw that teams of soldiers were crossing the river through temporary bridges, and more than 1000 people had already come. , Follow-up troops are still continuing to move in.

Zhang Hanyu turned a deaf ear and continued to observe the battle situation.

The more than 2000 people in the Jiangzhou Army have completely collapsed, and the soldiers in the back line fled in a panic. Those who were still fighting in the front line were affected, and their minds were in chaos. come out.

The whole army has been defeated like a mountain.

"Captain!" The generals looked at him eagerly.

"Hang the flag! Beat the drums! Pursue!" In the blink of an eye, Zhang Hanyu made up his mind.

As soon as the drums sounded, the sergeants of Jianjiedu who were ready to kill were extremely enthusiastic, without any scruples, they rushed forward to chase and kill.It seems that the fatigue on his body is no longer a big deal, and now he only thinks about killing thieves and receiving rewards.

The fleeing Jiangzhou soldiers cried for their fathers and mothers, but they seemed to be a little organized, and they didn't run around in a swarm.Most of the people fled to the sides, turned around the camp wall and turned to the rear, only a small number of people lost their heads and rushed straight to the open camp gate.

"Buzz!" Wave after wave of arrows shot out from the camp.

With infantry bows and strong crossbows, battalion after battalion, they shot down the Jiangzhou soldiers who were about to retreat back to the battalion.

The rout soldiers finally came to their senses, turned around one after another, and routed to both sides.

In the camp, the two thousand sergeants in Dingnandu had already put on their clothes and were ready to attack.

"The thieves are chasing after them. Although they are powerful, the formation is scattered. You are all veterans who have seen battles for many years. Do you dare to kill them back?" Xia Sanmu asked loudly in front of the formation.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The sergeants beside him shouted in unison.

Their shouts led more soldiers to join forces, and the soldiers hit the ground with their sticks, feeling agitated.

The commander-in-chief said, "The thieves are still strong, so they must be ordered to rush in. When they are scattered, they will defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." Haha, is this necessary?
Xia Sanmu turned around, pulled out a section of red forehead from his waist, carefully tied it on his forehead, took the long axe, weighed it, and went out first.

As soon as the fighting general moves, the warriors in the front row follow closely behind, leveling the long lance, and marching forward in unison.

Behind them, more warriors clanged loudly, with resolute expressions and cold swords.

The sergeants in Jianjiedu scrambled to kill them, looking excited.

The Dingnandu sergeant greeted him taciturnly, with a bloodthirsty expression on his face.

"Pfft!" Chang Ke's ax slashed down obliquely, knocking the head of a bandit army to the ground.

"Kill!" The long lance in the first row stepped forward and ruthlessly stabbed the lance towards the enemy's vital point.

The enemy troops who were chasing in smoothly all the way suddenly encountered hard stubble, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. In addition, the formation was a little scattered during the pursuit, and they were suddenly rushed to the ground and retreated steadily.

But they just won the victory with high spirits, how can they give in easily, there are several junior military academies roaring again and again, and the more they come out, they want to use their bravery to lead the robes and stabilize their position.

"Pfft!" The Chang Ke ax cut into a man's neck in an instant, quickly and accurately.

Xia Sanmu flew out and kicked the man's body backwards.Immediately, he swung his big ax and swept away the last few people in a row.

The infantrymen were not afraid, and they cooperated with each other against the spears stabbed by the enemy soldiers. The spears were like poisonous dragons, fierce and powerful. Crying out in pain means retreating backwards.

The soldiers of Dingnandu became more and more courageous as they fought, they kept their feet on the ground, stabbed and smashed with long spears, and cooperated with each other tacitly.Several brave military academies in Jianjiedu were submerged in the Changlong forest without even a single wave appearing.

The enemy army in front was killed and injured heavily, retreating steadily, the enemy army behind was unknown, so they were still rushing forward, the formation became more and more scattered, and the sound became more and more noisy.

Xia Sanmu slashed down with another axe, and the enemy soldiers became ruthless, neither dodging nor dodging, holding the long Ke ax tightly, with blood overflowing from the corner of their mouths, and a grim expression on their faces.

"Bah!" Xia Sanmu spat, took a Mo Dao from the soldier, and slashed down with force, a head flew up.

Stepping through the sticky pool of blood with military boots, he quickly caught up with a bandit soldier who turned around and tried to escape, and slashed hard.

The enemy soldiers blocked it with their hands in desperation.

Blood gushes out, broken arms fly!The heavy Mo Dao was almost unhindered, cutting obliquely from the enemy's shoulders into the flesh, and straight into the lungs.

With another kick, the corpse with almost half of its torso missing fell powerlessly to the ground.

The shouts of killing on the battlefield became less and less, but the scene became more and more bloody.

The soldiers of Dingnandu kept silent and followed closely behind the general. The long lance, Mo Dao, epee, and long Ke axe, the martial arts team of the late Tang Dynasty were skilled in their skills.

With a single cut, blood sprayed all over his head and face, and he didn't care to wipe it off.

Once stabbed out, there will be a blood hole if it hits, if it doesn't hit, it will be retracted, find the opportunity to make a second blow.

They are like professional butchers in a shop, they slaughter skillfully in the least labor-saving way without any extra effort.

What kind of chivalry and heroism can't stand in front of these cold butchers for a moment, and the blood of the enemy soldiers is spilled all over the ground.

"Clap! Clap!" That was the sound of shoes and boots stepping on a pool of blood.

"Crack! Crack!" That was the sound of the epee cutting off the head.

The two thousand butchers still maintain a neat formation, and the coordination is not chaotic at all. The expressions on their faces are surprisingly numb and calm.

He was neither excited nor frightened after killing so many people, as if he was slaughtering cattle and sheep instead of people.

It also seems that they are only doing trivial work.And this job is to simply cut off the enemy's body with an epee, pierce the enemy's abdomen with a long lance, and crush the enemy's head with a big axe. It's as simple as that, nothing more.

Professional Killer!
I don't know what kind of peerless fighters are needed to make their numb and professional faces show a horrified expression.

The old men in the river can't do it.

Jianjiedu was quickly pushed out of the gate and scattered outside the camp.

"They are not human!" A large number of enemy soldiers fled in all directions, and the wide field outside seemed to give them a more sense of security, away from the group of cold killing machines behind them.

The Life Harvester Array is still advancing.

The blood under their feet merged into a stream, and their heads and stumps were trampled into the dust.Someone had already changed the Mo Dao for the second time, and the blade of the ax seemed to be a little blunt, and the big formation rushed towards Fenshui with an unstoppable momentum.

Regardless of the fleeing enemy troops, they rushed to the temporary bridge and collided head-on with Pao Ze, who was marching north.

"They're not human!" There were meaningless cries everywhere.

Some people couldn't get on the pontoon, so they jumped directly into the Fen River, forgetting to take off the iron armor they were wearing.

Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, with snot and tears, but they were often greeted with heavy stabs and heads flying high.

A complete killing feast, no surrender will be accepted.Once the life harvesters start, perhaps only their creators can stop them.

There were 3000 people in Jianjiedu, and it just collapsed...

It only took half an hour from when everyone was rushing into the camp first, to being driven out backwards, throwing away their helmets and armor, with corpses strewn all over the field.

The rapid sound of horseshoes sounded from the east, and a large flag with the word "Xu" was looming.

The cavalry also arrived.
