Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 676 Destruction
Holding a step bow and guarded by two sword-shieldmen, He Xi calmly shot and killed the enemy under the bright moonlight.

An arrow fell, and an officer fell to the ground.

During the fight, Liang Bing didn't notice that his officer was dead, otherwise he might collapse.

Another arrow fell, and the most ferocious warrior lay on the ground.

This person was wearing heavy armor, and a long Ke ax danced vigorously. At least four or five Xia soldiers died in his hands.

Another arrow falls...

The camp gate is the focus of contention.

The spear and rifle stabbed back and forth, and the man squeezed forward desperately, letting the blade of the gun stab himself.

With swords swung, both sides were losing lives at an astonishing rate—Xia Jun had fewer, because they were the defenders, while Liang Jun had more casualties, and they were facing a more difficult situation.

Kou Yanqing stood on the high platform with a calm expression.

When the battle is over, there is no anger, anxiety, annoyance, or despair, just peace.Since he gave up fleeing yesterday afternoon and set up camp to defend against the enemy, everything was doomed, and he already had the consciousness that he couldn't run away.

It is useless to keep people behind, they can completely ignore them, or send a small group of cavalry to guard, and the main brigade will continue to chase and intercept, repeatedly harassing, how many times can you stop?
Moreover, the intensity of Xia Jun's harassment was too high.Kou Yanqing could tell that the number of horses they ran to death and waste far exceeded the number of cavalrymen who were killed or injured, and this was completely at any cost.

Acting like this won't let you run away at all.

Unfortunately, it is less than seven miles away from Yique Pass.During the Anshi Rebellion, Yique stationed [-] soldiers. If there are [-] elite soldiers who go out to rescue in large numbers, they can go back, at least half of them can go back.

Hu Zhen's expression was far less calm.

He looked at the camp of the German army to the west for a while. He had just finished resting there. If there is an accident, it is assumed that the thief general Yang Sheng has thousands of people; after a while, he turned his head and looked at the mountains and fortresses in the south. It is not that he did not send envoys to report to Ru, Xu, and Chen. How many people will be drawn?There are thousands at most, and there will be no number at all.

This battle has been fought for less than ten days, can you believe it?

"General Kou, the army is out of camp to fight, and the thieves are moving to the north, maybe we can—" Hu Zhen tentatively said.

"Shut up!" Kou Yanqing glared at each other, scolded: "I have received the great kindness of the King of Liang, and I can only repay it with death. If I want to escape, I will take someone away yesterday. But if you and I escape, what will happen? The soldiers have no fighting spirit, The army has no fighting spirit and can only be slaughtered by others."

"What does General Kou intend to do?" Hu Zhen asked anxiously.

"The only thing is death." Kou Yanqing said: "In the battle with the bandits, if you can break them, the bandits will be terrified and dare not pursue. If you can't, stick to the camp and fight to the last man."

Hu Zhen's face became ugly.You want to die, I don't want to die!
The soldiers and horses in the right wing of the Changzhi Army, what a big officer!Do you know how good the wealth in this world is?Are you an envoy for a festival?Have you ever enjoyed the top rich and gentle township?
A woman with excellent talent and beauty, a lady of noble status, kneels in front of you like a dog, vying to lick you; shouting before and after a trip, covering the field with banners, and obeying every order, you know this is What does it feel like? Mansions and high-rises, ponds and gardens, hunting grounds, warehouses full of millet, and treasuries full of money and silk, have you ever experienced it?
You you you - you fucking want to die, don't rely on me!
Kou Yanqing snorted coldly, stepped off the high platform, took a Mo Dao, ordered a thousand soldiers, and left the camp.

The troops attacking the Xia army's camp couldn't fight for a long time, their morale was low, and they fought and retreated.

Kou Yanqing personally led the troops forward and fought hard to break the rear.

On both sides, cavalry rushed again, and arrows rained down.After a short while, the big shield beside Kou Yanqing seemed to have a layer of white hair growing on it, and it was shocking to look at.

More than three thousand people retreated slowly.

There was wailing in the camp, and the tragedy was everywhere.Liang Bing, who had just endured the pain and struggled to fight, now felt relaxed, some people couldn't bear it and cried out in pain.

There are only five thousand soldiers left to fight!

Kou Yanqing had a sad expression on his face. They were soldiers he had led for many years. Are they going to be buried here now?

There was another cry of killing from the west. It was the German army after a rest, launching a wave of attack.

The roughly dug ditches had limited effect, and two thousand Xia soldiers quickly rushed to the front of the camp, and another fierce battle began.

Kou Yanqing settled down the wounded soldiers, raised his sword and stepped forward, taking the lead to boost the morale of the soldiers, fought for more than half an hour, and finally repelled the attack of the Tiande army.

At the beginning of Yinshi, the Yang Sheng Department of the Tiande Army, which had settled in the west, also launched an attack.

Tutuan villagers guarded the camp, and the more than [-] fresh troops were divided into three groups, launching waves of offensives one after another.

The Changzhi Army fought passively, and the sound of killing inside and outside the camp was loud. Thousands of people risked their lives, wanting to kill their opponents just like killing their father and enemy.Fighting fiercely until dawn, the Tiande army couldn't hold on, and retreated in defeat.

The sun rose from the east, and the long straight army was exhausted after fighting all night, and almost lost its strength.

But they can't rest.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, that is, a large group of cavalry was gathering.

Inside the camp of the Tianxiong Army, drums were beating loudly.

Li Lin, Marquis of Duyu, personally led two thousand soldiers, and went out to form a battalion.

"Today—" He held up the epee in his hand.

"It's just death!" The two thousand sergeants shouted in unison.

"Clatter!" The sound of drawing the sword into its sheath came one after another. After checking the sword, he began to string the bow again, and everything was orderly.

"Kill!" Li Lin strode forward.

"Kill!" Two thousand armored soldiers stepped forward in unison.

In the Liang army camp, it was as if the enemy was approaching, and the extremely exhausted sergeants encouraged each other, raised their remaining courage, and prepared to face the battle.

After fighting for so many years, everyone knows that it is very difficult for Xia thief to survive today with such a crazy attack.

The atmosphere was very dull, and they seemed to understand the inner feelings of Sergeants Yun, Yan, and Xu when they were besieged by them.

The Xia army attacking the camp suddenly quickened their pace, and then the archers stepped forward, shooting powerful arrows at close range, wantonly harvesting lives.

Liang Jun's counterattack was not very powerful. Most of the people did not have spare bowstrings. There were not many step bows that could be drawn, and most of the crossbows were damaged.They spent a lot of money to gather all the bows and crossbows that could be used, and the arrows flew out in a flurry. The Xia soldiers who were rushing forward were like wheat on the autumn field, being cut down one by one by the farmers.

No one retreats, and it is unreasonable to kill red-eyed people.

Gritting their teeth, the infantry of Tianxiong's army jumped up and fought with Liang Bing.

Li Lin slashed with the epee repeatedly, killing three people in a row.His helmet was wiped by Liang Ren with an axe, and it was gone.If the ax had been lowered, Li Duyuhou, who was famous for his bravery in the Tianxiong Army, would have died in battle.

Just because he's fine doesn't mean everyone else is fine.

Out of the corner of his eye, He Kui was wounded and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, his face full of pain.

Along with him, the warriors who killed Zhu Yanshou alone and escaped alone also died in large numbers. Some people were still holding Liang Bing's throat to the death, while Liang Bing stabbed him with a sword and stabbed him hard. It was full of criss-cross wounds.

"Rush in!" Li Lin beheaded another person, and was shot in the thigh unexpectedly, and fell away.But his heart was full of joy, more and more robes jumped over the car barriers and low fences, and kept rushing in.

Someone was removing the vehicle barrier, and the cavalry not far away had already started to line up, and the armored cavalry shining with silver light attracted everyone's attention.

They accelerated slowly, followed the gap opened by the infantry, and rushed in at high speed.

This is almost a fatal blow!
Liang Bing, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, was caught off guard and fell to the brink of collapse.

Holding a dagger in his hand, Hu Zhen stabbed to death a Tianxiong soldier who was in front of him, and then fought and retreated. Under the cover of a group of followers, he removed the barrier, got on his horse, and galloped away .

Seeing this, the cavalry who were patrolling the snow field immediately surrounded them.

Kou Yanqing brandished the Mo Dao bravely.After this battle, he had already beheaded five people, two of whom were the leaders of the martial arts student team carrying the flag of recognition.But there are fewer and fewer relatives around him, and he has reached the end of the road.

Battle drums were sounded on the east and west sides, and the Tiande Army dispatched again regardless of the huge casualties.

"Kill the Thief General!" A group of soldiers from the Tianxiong Army rushed over.

Kou Yanqing let out a miserable laugh, swung the Mo Dao, cut off the head of the person in front of him, and charged forward without hesitation.

"It's always been quiet and guests, and we are all old in the dust and sand! Death is worthy, so happy!" The high-pitched and hoarse voice rushed into Xia Bing's formation, and after hesitating for seven or eight steps, it gradually disappeared.

"The thief general is dead!"

"Kou Yanqing is dead!"

"Hu Zhen escaped!"

Someone from the outside shouted in unison, and it was heard by Liang Bing, who had already messed up the organizational system, and fell into the ears of Liang Bing, who was in a state of fighting on their own, almost disintegrating their last trace of fighting spirit.

"Those who abandon their weapons and kneel on the ground will not die!"

"Xia Wang Rende, those who abandon their weapons and kneel on the ground will not die!"

Some cavalry circled the camp, shouting in unison.

"Wow!" The first long straight sergeant dropped his weapon and knelt down on the ground dejectedly.

Where there is the first, there will be the second, and soon, the sound of armor throwing is one after another.Except for a few people who were still stubbornly resisting, most Liang soldiers surrendered.

You Liang led the last two or three hundred people together, with their spears pointed outward, like hedgehogs, refusing to surrender.

Li Lin, who was limping, kicked over the officer who was about to give the order to shoot arrows, and rushed up with hundreds of epee hands, shouting.

Zang Dubao and Niu Li were riding on horses, watching all this from a distance.

They didn't stop.

Soldiers, you can practice again if you don't have them, but you can't practice this kind of spirit that must cut down the enemy face to face-well, let's not take it as an example.

The sergeants of Cai Songyang and Yang Sheng rushed over.Without saying a word, they began to gather the prisoners and planned to escort them back to the camp.

"Bastard!" Zang Dubao pointed at his horsewhip and said, "Stop it for me. Those surrendered soldiers belong to me, Cai Songyang is so shameless!"

He didn't know the exact number of surrendered troops, but after a cursory glance, he reckoned that there were still three thousand.Who dares to rob me of such a battle-hardened sharp fighter!
"Military envoy, Hu Zhen has been caught!" A scout came to report.

Zang Dubao nodded, with a look of disgust on his face.Why doesn't this kind of person die?
Kou Yanqing, who didn't deserve to die, died in battle without hesitation. The gap between people is so huge.

What's even more disgusting is that Hu Zhen probably won't die, and will enjoy his wealth in peace. King Xia will probably reward him with his mansion and property for the generals of Bianzhou to see.

This world, alas!
