Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 76 The wind and the horns bow, the general hunts Weicheng ([-])
"Boom!" Feather arrow flew out and shot an enemy cavalry who only wanted to escape to the ground.

This person was not dead for a while, rolling on the ground, but was quickly overwhelmed by several horses, screaming again and again.

Zhu Shuzong put down his riding bow, took out the lance from under the horse, accelerated up, and swept a certain enemy cavalry off his horse.

This is the boy's battlefield!His heart was full of excitement.

And behind him, more cavalry was under the leadership of Yu Orizuki, cutting down the fleeing infantry of the enemy unhurriedly.Any enemy general who wants to gather the defeated troops into formation will immediately go up for a burst of assault and disperse them in an instant.

The Linzhou disciples he brought were also quite experienced, and they didn't push too hard, always giving the enemy the illusion that they could escape successfully.They simply harvested the lives of the slowest enemy soldiers with their bows, lances, and horizontal knives. After harvesting, they continued to harvest the next wave.Just like a herdsman driving sheep, it is not in a hurry, but the killing is amazing.

When Li Tangbin looked back on the way to escape, he almost burst into tears.The soldiers who have been with him for three years are driven everywhere like sheep.

Even if you escape today, how much can you collect?three hundred?five hundred?How to get a foothold under Zhang Youyi's account?

Li Tangbin was dizzy and depressed, and suddenly a horse lance slapped him, hit him hard on the back, and fell off the horse on the spot.

"Catch this thief, the envoy said that he would reward a hundred pieces of silk." Several cavalry rushed over and surrounded Li Tangbin.

The pursuit on the battlefield is far from over.The soldiers of the nest army ran and ran, and some people lost their strength, so they abandoned their swords and shouted for surrender.Others stripped their armor and lost their weapons to make their escape easier.

No one stopped the chasing soldiers, and no one took in the defeated soldiers. This battle of the nest army was much worse than the general rout.There were more than [-] casualties, and more than [-]% were killed by Tie Lin's army in the back while fleeing.There were more than [-] descendants, and at this moment, they were being received and guarded by the infantry of the Tielin Army who rushed over quickly in a column formation.

Only a few thousand managed to escape, half of them cavalry.However, Li Tangbin and Survivor were unlucky, and were captured by Zhe Siyu and Zhu Shuzong separately.

Not to mention the baggage of the nest army.The draught animals, food and grass, goods, and equipment all belonged to the Tielin army, and they were free to take.

Killed, wounded and captured three 4000 people, and captured the enemy general alive. This battle was truly brilliant!

"What mistake did Li Tangbin make today?" Shao Shude directly grabbed the generals who came to congratulate him and summed up his experience while the iron was hot.

"Underestimate the enemy." Guan Kairun replied, "I thought that our army was too small to fight, so I pressed it at will, trying to defeat it."

"I don't know the time of day because of greed for merit." Qian Shousu replied: "At first, the wind was small and the snow was small, but I should have guessed that the wind and snow would increase. I was going to block the Hedong Army, but I was greedy for merit and temporarily attacked me. Army, will lead to great defeat."

"Whoever has more temples wins, and whoever has fewer temples won't win." Lu Huaizhong held back for a long time and said, "Military envoy, I only know so much."

"Someone also added." Shao Shude said: "Uncle Zong, when you were in Yangqu, you once said, 'The thief is too tired to plunder, and his heart is also afraid. Return to Wusu, if the team does not belong, I will attack him'. Today, the bandits are full of plunder, reluctant to give up their wealth and goods, and piled up with carts and horses, so that they are marching with a lot of equipment, lack of energy, hesitation, and war spirit.

"General Mingjian." Zhu Shuzong replied with a smile.

"It should be that the general has devised a strategy, the command is determined, the morale of the Tielin army is high, and the battle is hard, and this victory has been achieved." Chen Cheng also rushed over and congratulated.

All the generals laughed.

"Okay. Judge Chen, I will enter this battle into the "New Book of Shude", and everyone's comments will also be written in. I will study it from time to time in the future, and don't make these mistakes." Shao Shude also smiled: "Let's go and see what has been captured. ."

More than 500 dendrobium rations, 10,000 more than [-] carts, more than [-] draft animals, plus more than [-] copper coins and more than [-] bolts of silk, were probably the biggest harvest of this battle.Regardless of equipment and the like, all income is stored in the warehouse as a reserve.

Li Yanling's baggage camp should be expanded again, otherwise, I'm afraid they won't be able to get rid of these things.

However, Shao Shude was not very happy with these soldiers, and was hesitating how to use them.

Today's Tielin Army should be relatively "pure" compared to other people from all walks of life.When I first arrived in Jinyang, a group of thorns were driven away. When I left Jinyang, another 800 people left, and a considerable part of them were also thorns.In the current Tielin Army, there are really very few people who like to incite sergeants.As soon as you show up, Shao Shude will secretly remember that the next time you fight, you will be sent to the front row, and you will not survive.

The captured nest army has more than [-] people, and he has a deep habit. He really does not dare to use it!

"Bring Li Tangbin and Survival here!" Shao Shude ordered after returning to the city.

Li and Shang were kidnapped by Wu Hua Da and sent over.

Shao Shude took a closer look, Li Tangbin was tall and burly, with a fierce face, looking straight at Shao Shude, as if he wanted to see the culprit that caused his disastrous defeat today.Survival looked terrified, and his legs trembled involuntarily.

"General Shang roams the world, killing people like numbness, but he is also afraid of death?" Shao Shude asked with a smile.

"Please forgive Shang, the general, and give him gold and silk."

"I heard that General Shang is a member of Shang Rang's clan, is that true or not?"

"Yes……"

"General Li, I will give you a chance to live."

Li Tangbin raised his head suddenly, as if he didn't believe it.

"The two of you will be sent outside later, and I will give you a knife. In front of the soldiers, I will cut off the surviving head and show it to someone to see, and I will spare you not to die." Shao Shude said calmly.

Li Tangbin glanced at Yu Cun subconsciously, but Yu Cun was shocked and struggled on the ground, crying: "General, Shang is willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender."

"Pull it out!" Shao Shude waved his hand and said.

The soldiers quickly dragged the two out.

But for a moment, Li Tangbin came in holding the surviving head with a complicated expression, knelt down and said, "The surviving head is here."

The surrounding Shaw Brothers scorned for a while, and Li Tangbin was even more ashamed.

"Is General Li willing to surrender?" Shao Shude asked.

"I would like to come down." Li Tangbin said in a trembling voice.After killing the Shang Rang clan, can they go back?

"Five hundred soldiers will be selected later, and you will still lead them, so let's call the camp." Shao Shude said: "From now on, you will be your general and serve the imperial court."

"As ordered."

After dealing with this mess, Shao Shude hurried to the county office again.

"Shude, today's battle, won beautifully!" Zhuge Shuang was gossiping with his staff when he saw Shao Shude coming in, he laughed.

"The thieves will take care of you, and the thief army is not strong enough to fight, so you should lose this." Shao Shude said: "Today's battle depends on the might of the commander and the tiger, and all the thieves are afraid."

Zhuge Shuang laughed, and the staff also laughed a few times.

"If the Chao army is all this generation, this battle is not difficult to fight." Zhuge Shuang walked to the lobby door with his hands on his back, and looked at the heavy snow outside the house, saying: "This cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, the thief's heart is tired, it should not be Are you sending troops?"

"Commander, the bandit army wants to attack Fengxiang." Shao Shude reminded.

"A bunch of scumbags." Zhuge Shuang laughed and said, "But that's right. If you don't take advantage of this, you can still have some vigor, and you can still fight a dozen times. After another year and a half, I'm afraid that the anger will gradually grow and become unbearable. Fight again."

"What the commander-in-chief said is very true." Shao Shude said: "The last general has surrendered the bandit general Li Tangbin today. According to him, the bandit army is roaming around in all directions, and the envoys each lead 20,000 people. 100,000 people, enjoying themselves day and night, doing mischief, this is not ambitious. After a few months, the food and grass they brought from the Kanto will be exhausted, and Chang'an will not be able to stay."

"Shude thinks Huang Chao will lose?" Zhuge Shuang asked.

"Defeat!"

Zhuge Shuang nodded when he heard the words, and then asked: "Our army's new victory will definitely inspire the army, but it may also attract thieves to the brigade, so what can I do?"

"Commander, after joining the Hedong Army, our army will have deep trenches and high fortifications, without waves, even if the thieves want to win, it will be difficult."

"Let's see how Feng Xiang's side is playing." Zhuge Shuang sighed and said.

After leaving the county office, Shao Shude walked around the city with his personal soldiers.The people in the city have already opened their doors, and the victory of the official army is better than the victory of the thief army.At least this unit, called the Tielin Army, doesn't kill people, rob women, or loot goods, because they do it in a gentler way - sending donations.

These years, such troops have been considered the best, don't expect more.

On the second day of February, Li Yanling rushed back to Huayuan with a large amount of food and grass, and more than 100 poor men recruited locally, all of whom will work in the auxiliary barracks.There are also more than [-] people from Huayuan County who have been recruited as auxiliary soldiers. The rewards are not much, at least they can fill their stomachs.

The more than 500 nest troops that have been incorporated have basically decided on a solution.Li Tangbin selected 1000 people to trap, and the remaining more than [-], Li Yanling only picked about [-] people.

In the end, for the more than a thousand people, neither killing nor releasing, they could only let them act with the army first.However, his status is lower than that of auxiliary soldiers, he has no weapons and no rewards, and he is almost downgraded to a people's strength.

In the early morning of the third day of the middle school, the army went east, the goal: Fuping.
