Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 639

On April 25th of the second year of Qianning, Shao Shude led his army to Anfeng County.

All must arrive at the end, and there is no omission of food, grass, and luggage. The hundreds of thieves who followed along the way followed lonely.

The luggage had already entered the city, and Shao Shude was in no hurry to enter the city.

He took five thousand soldiers in formation outside the city.

Soon, [-] soldiers of the Tianxiong Army also left the city, and [-] cavalry from ancient times were cruising outside.

The [-]-step riders lined up in the wilderness, and Shao Shude rode his horse to inspect and inspect, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

When he arrived in front of Tianxiong's army, Shao Shude dismounted deliberately and walked past the first row of sergeants.

Wherever the eyes glanced, everyone stood up straight with their heads held high.

Shao Shude stopped in front of one person, looked at the scar on his face, and praised: "Go up to the edge, he is indeed a warrior. But the injury suffered in Heluo?"

The sergeant was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and said: "Go back to your lord, I was chopped down by the Tielin army in Fenshui. I am a soldier in the river."

The people around listened, and tried hard to control the expressions on their faces, not to let themselves laugh.

"That's a strong man." Shao Shude's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "The gang of killers in Dingnandu, who has few lives under his command, you can fight face to face and survive, it's not bad."

This person just wanted to say that I slipped on the sole of my foot and just avoided the killing blow, otherwise I would have died early.But EQ was not that low after all, after a couple of murmurs, he shut up.

In front of another person.

Shao Shude looked at it, took his hand, and said with a smile, "Have you practiced archery for a long time?"

"I can't be a handsome shot."

"Have you seen it?" Shao Shude asked.Except for the two battles in Heqing and Shouzhou, these years have become more and more low-key, and he has almost become a pure commander in the rear like Zhu Quanzhong and Yang Xingmi. He may not even be considered as a commander, because the specific formation The formation is done by others.

Li Keyong is still active on the front line of the battlefield...

Brother Yi is also getting old, I don't know how he is doing recently.Looting in Weibo, it's so majestic, this should be going to Youzhou, right?

"After the commander-in-chief went west to Lanzhou, he hunted with all the generals. I have seen it from afar."

"He actually participated in the Battle of Lanzhou. He is a veteran. Besides the infantry bow, long spear, and horizontal knife, what other weapons do you have?"

"Those who make long swords can also throw spears."

"Huainan used to be famous for Zhang Shenjian. He was good at using heavy swords. He had many disciples and grandchildren. When you meet Huai bandits in the future, how dare you fight them?"

Zhang Shenjian brought less than a thousand people to join Yang Xingmi. Yang Xingmi was worried that he would not be able to control him, so he killed him, and all his followers were slaughtered.

In fact, it's a pity that epee warriors are generally elite.

In the Tang Dynasty, even though Modao and epee were very popular, they were not used well.In the Song Dynasty, it was even more difficult to find an established epee/Modao unit. Perhaps this kind of fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries and fighting for lives was not in line with the values ​​of the people at that time.

"Why don't you dare?" the man said angrily.

"Okay!" Shao Shude liked these strong men who were not afraid of the earth, and he laughed and encouraged him.

Alas, I should bring my son here, let him see the heroic warriors in the army, don't spend all day with Du Honghui and Zhao Guan in literature and poetry, and learn to be a scholar.

"Are you - He Yan?" Shao Shude walked up to an officer, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "A student of Xiazhou martial arts."

"The general manager still remembers me?" He Qu asked in surprise.

"My disciple, of course I remember." Shao Shude said with a smile: "I gave you the Chashan sword on your waist. Kill the enemy well, and return the world to a bright future."

"Follow the instructions of the general office!" He Qu replied loudly.

Shao Shude left with a smile, turned around again, looked at the majestic military appearance, and felt relieved.

Military officers who were born in the traditional general family laughed at Wu students as being stubborn, but Shao Shude needed such stubborn officers.

And he doesn't rely on any one talent development model.

Traditional goalkeeper talents are needed!Martial arts students, yes!Personal soldiers, yes!
Every type of person is useful and can be used, and all rivers are inclusive.

Riding his horse back to the front of the ten thousand recruits, Shao Shude stopped for a long time and said: "If you make a great contribution this time, I will organize you and others into the right wing of the Tielin Army."

In the Xia army system, currently divided into left and right sides, there is only one Yi Congjun, with 3000 people in the left side and 5000 people in the right side, with half soldiers and half auxiliary soldiers.

The Iron Forest Army currently has 5000 cavalry. If it is reorganized into [-] people and equipped with cavalry, it will be the largest army in terms of strength, and may reach more than [-].

The Iron Forest Army is now the well-deserved No. [-] army. Although some troops are not convinced and think that their combat effectiveness is stronger than them, seniority is seniority. This is the army that Shao Shude started, and it is difficult for others to compare.

These ten thousand Cai people also knew what the Iron Forest Army meant. After the news was passed on by the soldiers, everyone was courageous and their morale was high.

The goal has been achieved!Shao Shude laughed loudly: "There is such a brave man, if the thieves fight with me, they will be destroyed. You can prepare more long ropes now, and they may be of great use in the future."

"What's the use?" Zheng Yong asked jokingly.

"Bind the thieves!" Shao Shude replied.

Everyone laughed and fought vigorously.

……

On April 27, the scouts came to report that the Huai thieves had crossed the river for two consecutive days, and there were more than [-] horsemen in the Feixi camp.

Shao Shude continued to send people to invite him to fight, and the sergeants who were easy to speak took turns to insult him, motivating the bandit army to leave the camp.

Zhu Yanshou kicked the case over.

Xu Wen sat aside and said nothing.He has already persuaded what should be persuaded, and he is not the leader, so it is useless to talk more.

Xia thief's insults and sarcasm were hard to hear.

Why Zhu Yanshou relies on his sister Mrs. Zhu to take the position, her ability is limited, and it is embarrassing to take on the task.

What kind of firewood is used again is a dog that loses its family, and it has been defeated repeatedly.

What Xu Wen didn't make an inch of merit, suddenly rose to a high position, with ulterior motives and so on.

All three of them were a little annoyed.But Xu Wen could hold his breath, Chai Zayong couldn't hold his breath, and Zhu Yanshou was furious.

The aggressive method is actually very low-level, and basically normal people can see through it at a glance, but why do people often fall for it?

Because he points directly at people's hearts and targets the weaknesses in your heart.

Zhu Yanshou couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Shao Bandit invited me to fight, so arrogant, so what if I fight with him? I want to use my troops to cross the river and attack Shao Bandit."

"No!" Xu Wen hurriedly said.

Zhu Yanshou drew out the knife directly, and said with a sneer, "Isn't Marquis Xu Du afraid of death?"

Xu Wen was sweating slightly on his back, but he still said: "The east bank needs to be guarded. If the Xia bandits cross the river in a detour and take my luggage, the army will be confused and will undoubtedly be defeated."

Zhu Yanshou was taken aback.I thought he was trying to persuade himself not to fight, but I didn't expect that he was thinking about guarding the camp on the east bank. Shao bandit fights."

Xu Wen nodded silently, and said: "Don't worry, everyone will guard the camp."

Zhu Yanshou nodded, and then ordered: "Order troops, follow me across the river!"

With an order, the whole army immediately went into action.

Zhu Yanshou has been in charge of the army for many years, and he still has a bit of rules, at least he has done it by ordering and prohibiting it.

Chai then used five hundred riders to lead Hei Yundu, and he should cross the river first.

Xu Wen led three hundred Luzhou cavalry, one thousand Heiyundu long swordsmen, and two thousand Luzhou soldiers to guard the camp.

Zhu Yanshou led [-] elite soldiers and walked last.

The matter has come to this point, there is no more nonsense, the two sides will fight in arrays, and it will be a showdown.

Shao Shude, as the overlord of one party, dares to fight with you, what are you afraid of?If it can be cut in array, it may be a miracle.

……

On April 28th, the sun was shining brightly, the breeze was gentle, and Duandi was a good weather for fighting.

Since early in the morning, the drums in the camps of Xia and Wu have been beating continuously, even if they are more than ten miles away, they can still be heard.

Surrounded by his own soldiers, Shao Shude left the county directly regardless of Chen Cheng's persuasion.

After the watchtower car was built, he boarded it and overlooked the entire battlefield.

The soldiers and horses that went to battle were basically the original squad members who reviewed that day.

Originally, he wanted to form a Yanyue formation with both offensive and defensive capabilities, but Shao Shude was not at ease with those Cai people's recruits after all, worried that they would not be able to withstand the fierce Huai people's offensive, so he ordered the formation of wild geese.

Zhu Yanshou will stand the flag on a gentle slope, and also have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.

He directly came to Yanyue Formation, with 3000 Luzhou elite soldiers as the central army, [-] people as the right wing, and more than [-] people as the left wing lagging behind.

The cavalry on both sides are in the rear, ready to fight at any time.

It is a very traditional field scene of the Tang Dynasty army, nine thousand to eleven thousand, which is not small in terms of scale.

The wind gradually picked up.

Li Lin and He Yan both dressed neatly, looked at each other with a smile, and turned to look behind them.

A whole battalion of five hundred soldiers has been lined up and ready to attack at any time.

There are already dozens of people from both sides fighting in the middle.This was to disrupt the enemy's formation, but after a short contact, they dispersed, as if they knew that they could not shake the enemy's tight formation.

Cum close to the face?Rely on these dozens of people?The big formation that shoots people with a strong crossbow doesn't move, don't waste your energy.

"Everyone!" Li Lin turned around and looked at the hundreds of strong men who acted as arrows, and said loudly, "They are all veterans of fighting. In fact, there is nothing to say, only one thing."

"The two armies are fighting. When fighting, the front does not hear the back, the back does not hear the front, the left does not hear the right, and the right does not hear the left." Li Lin said: "The bandit army is forming a Yanyue formation, and there are three thousand people who want to flank our army. If Hearing that the Chinese army was defeated, the king of Xia didn't know the ominous luck, or the hearts of the people were uneasy, and he had no fighting spirit. Those who agree with me can fight thieves together."

"General, what are you thinking so much about?" Someone laughed and said, "Tianxiong Junerlang, he is valued by the king, he is comforted and rewarded generously, how can there be anyone who is not willing to die?"

"What Zhang Sanlang said is very true. We are all old men from Tielin, Wuwei, and Tianzhu. Under Wang Houlu, it is our duty to face the blade of the bandit soldiers. How dare you avoid it?"

"It's thirty-seven this year." Another human said: "My Dalang, like the general, has entered Lingzhou martial arts. Erlang is in Hezhong, and he married a bride last year. The king is touring the counties and went to congratulate him personally. Then The scene, haha, is enviable to everyone."

After finishing speaking, he touched his neck and said: "Today I will fight to the death for the king, but here I am stabbed, so what?"

He spoke boldly, and everyone became more courageous when they heard it, almost overflowing with murderous intent.

He Yan straightened his bow and said only one sentence: "Today, there is only death!"

"It's just death!" Everyone shouted in unison, three times in a row, even the Huai army heard it.

As soon as the voice fell, the drum sounded suddenly.

Five hundred armored soldiers armed with heavy swords and mo knives, and killed them without any hesitation.
