Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 784 Collapse
In the battlefield, people shouted and neighed, and there was chaos.

Liang Jun was cut into three sections by two brown torrents, and the head and tail could not look at each other.

Some military officers gathered a group of soldiers nearby, with their spears pointed out, like hard rocks in the flood, struggling to hold back the tide.

The passing knights flicked a throwing spear, and one of them fell down.

The knight following behind did not slow down their horses at all, and also dropped their spears.

The reef gradually disintegrates in the water.

Some officers took over the banner from the flag bearer, waved it vigorously, and shouted loudly.The unyielding soldier leaned over and tried to resist.

An arrow flew over and shot him in the face trickily.Then several arrows flew over and landed on his neck, chest and abdomen.

The banner crashed to the ground.

Someone held an iron gun and stabbed two knights one after another.

The third person passed by, swung the noose, put it around his neck accurately, and dragged him away.

All of this was done on the march, reflecting the superb skills and rich experience of the Iron Cavalry soldiers.

Some people are not good at martial arts, and they only follow others to rush, and cannot make various tactical actions accurately and quickly.

Some people are inexperienced and have nothing but martial arts, but they end up like headless chickens who don't know what to do or how to make use of their own advantages.

The iron cavalry army has been fighting for many years, and there are many people who are born as chieftains and backs. They have riding skills, martial arts, experience, and courage. version” cavalry scoffed.

The first wave penetrated Liang Jun's formation and rushed to the distance.

Before Liang Jun could catch his breath, the second wave of more than [-] riders followed one after another.

Arrows, spears, and axes all fell.The iron cavalry army is free. It allows the sergeants to prepare their own weapons. Except for the standard short lance and cavalry bow, others can be customized by themselves.

The increasingly chaotic Liang Jun couldn't resist the enemy's offensive at all.

Someone turned around and walked in the direction of Boshui City, jumped into the trench, hid behind the trench wall, and retreated into the small village.

Someone sped up and fled in the direction of the camp. For this reason, he stripped off his armor, threw away his equipment, stumbled, and his hair was disheveled.

More people can't see the surrounding situation clearly, they only know that there are people everywhere, soldiers can't find generals, generals can't find soldiers, it's a mess.Under extreme emotional tension, they even lost their sense of direction and had no idea where to flee.

"Boom!" The cavalry flew past and knocked a hapless guy into the air. The saber in the knight's hand was swiped sideways. Wherever he passed, blood rained, and stumps and broken arms fell to the ground.

More knights slanted past the headless fly.They harvested human lives in the least labor-intensive way, as if Liang Bing had bumped into them by himself.

The second wave beats into the distance.Wherever they passed, the last Liang army that formed a team was also dispersed, and the tens of thousands of hedgehogs before the war turned into [-] sheep, which were driven everywhere.

The third wave of cavalry auxiliary soldiers has accelerated.They were experienced hunters, holding bows in their hands, walking in circles in a leisurely and relaxed manner, shooting arrows from time to time, aggravating the casualties and confusion of the enemy, and constantly wearing down the last bit of morale and physical strength of Liang Bing.

Under the surprise attack, the raging waves launched by the Iron Cavalry almost crushed everything.

On the wider periphery, the Dingnan army was scattered, with hundreds of riders in one group, like falcons pouncing on the prey. When they saw the hares in the grassland, they rushed up, first shot the brave men who wanted to resist with arrows, and then shot the beams. The defeated army drove to the southwest.

The soldiers of the guarding army put on armor and held spears, and walked up slowly. The Liang people were defeated and frightened, their physical strength was weakened, and they knelt down and begged for surrender.

"The Iron Cavalry Army fought a beautiful battle!" On a small hillside, Shao Shude stood on his horse, with an awning in hand, carefully observing the battle situation in the field.

Surrounded by [-] personal soldiers, and more than [-] loyal bodyguards from far and near, if the Liang people want to turn defeat into victory, they can go straight here and try their luck.

Li Zhong was very envious, but Ye Li Kecheng was somewhat dissatisfied.But they also had to admit that the iron cavalry, a freak-like cavalry army, was indeed experienced and skilled. No wonder the Tubo people screamed when they beat them in Qingtang.

You can say that they are cavalry who attack and fight, but they don't use thick long horses or slender spears, and they also play with bows and arrows.

You say they are cavalry cavalry and archers, but they don't look like them. Their melee combat ability is better than those of the barbarians.

Generally speaking, it is not pleasing, but it is very useful on the grasslands, and it is not so good in the Central Plains in theory, but today they seized the opportunity and became famous in one battle.

"You two don't need to be discouraged." Shao Shude looked at the faces of Li Zhong and Ye Likecheng, and said with a smile: "The selection criteria for the Iron Cavalry Army is not low. A troop hasn't had a chance."

"Your Majesty is powerful in Guanbei and Helong, and he has his own army of warriors competing to serve him." Li Zhong said, "Zhu Quanzhong's infantry is indeed formidable, but he is not as good as your Majesty who has the strengths of both the Grassland and the Central Plains."

"You can talk like the grandpa of the Ni family." Shao Shude laughed loudly.

Li Zhong's martial arts is actually not very good, but he is loyal, has eyes, and can speak. It is enough and very suitable to be the leader of the personal army.Someone who is more reckless might ruin Shao Shude's good deed.

The battle in the field has come to an end.

Unsurprisingly, Liang Jun's infantry collapsed first.They were storming Sishui County before, with such momentum as a rainbow. When they heard the sound of the hammer and saw the flag, they immediately organized a retreat.But it's not that simple in a haste, the whole retreat was messed up, and then the cavalry army seized the opportunity to rush in, and the whole army collapsed after a little resistance.

In contrast, the enemy's cavalry resisted for a little longer.Their melee combat ability is extremely good, and they are not at a disadvantage in face-to-face combat, so that the Dingnan Army also assigned some sharp archers to shoot cold arrows on the periphery of the battle group.

Finally, after seeing that the infantry had collapsed, Liang Jun's cavalry also collapsed.They patted their horses frantically and fled eastward.

The cavalry of the Iron Cavalry Army and the Dingnan Army chased and intercepted them, shooting and killing the enemy one by one.The auxiliary soldiers of the guards even stepped forward to help, and the arrows rained heavily on the fleeing enemy cavalry, wantonly harvesting lives.

"Go, go down the mountain and have a look." Shao Shude ordered.

Nearly 4000 soldiers and bodyguards escorted him down the hillside to the blood-soaked battlefield.

The arena was strewn with corpses in all directions, and the death conditions were horrific and bloody.When a war horse flies by at high speed, even a saber that has not been sharpened can cause terrible wounds on a person.Not to mention those corpses trampled by war horses, their bones were broken in a mess, their chests were sunken, and their mouths and noses were full of blood.

The soldiers scattered far away, and when they saw the wounded but not dead enemy soldiers, they went up to make up for it.The bodyguards stabbed and stabbed the corpse with spears to ensure that no one pretended to be dead on the ground and assassinated Shao Shude.

Shao Shude stopped and stopped walking.The wounded soldiers of the Liang army in the distance breathed a sigh of relief. They managed to escape on the battlefield. It would be too unfair to die in a daze.

"Report to Your Majesty, General Liu sent someone to report that the thief general Zhang Cunjing has been beheaded and Wen Yu captured." You Lingqi saw the big banner and immediately ran over to report.

"Where's Liu Zijing?" Shao Shude asked.

"General Liu" is Liu Zijing, the deputy envoy of the cavalry army, and the old man Yuancong in Xicheng.

"General Liu was wounded when he rushed to kill. He just wrapped up his wound and is ready to continue the pursuit."

"Brave!" Shao Shude praised.

Zhang Cunjing was also a general of the Liang army. He commanded all the cavalry troops, but he was also killed in battle.It is inevitable that generals will die in battle, and being a martial artist requires this awareness.

"Where's He Delun?" Shao Shude asked again.

"This person broke through the siege under the guard of his own soldiers and ran out. Our department is chasing him."

"Forget him running fast." Shao Shude cursed.

If you can't surround these generals, it's basically useless to catch them.There are several empty horses per person, and more than one personal soldier. It is difficult for you to catch up with him if he wants to run away. The cavalry army and the Dingnan army are just doing their best.

After a while, Lingqi came to report one after another:
The thief handsome Ge Congzhou led thousands of remnants to retreat into the camp and guard behind closed doors.

Most of the bandit army has been defeated, and some remnants are hiding in trench walls and small villages.The city gate of Sishui County was opened wide, and some infantry rushed out to cooperate with the cavalry army to kill the remnants of the enemy.

It has been counted that the bandit army has captured more than [-] people, and the rest are still being counted, and it is estimated that the number of prisoners will exceed [-].

Every piece of news is good news, and everyone is beaming and happy when they hear it.

Shao Shude felt refreshed, and his face was quite calm, as if this was just an insignificant victory.Of course, everyone knows that after this battle, the Ge Congzhou Group is considered finished, and it is inevitable that the Longwu, Desheng, Qinqi, and Zhuosheng Fourth Armies with more than 1 troops will be wiped out.No one would care about the Tutuan peasants, but it can also seriously dampen the morale of the enemy—every household is dying, and if the morale is high, there will be ghosts.

"Sending people to persuade Ge Congzhou to surrender, the matter has come to an end, if you continue to defend it, you will be foolish and loyal, and it will not help the matter." Shao Shude said: "More than 3 people have collapsed, and there are still thousands of remnant soldiers and defeated generals. I only need to transfer guards When Jun Erlang went to battle, he was broken in an instant. Now I don’t want to do more evil, I hope he will do it himself.”

"Obey." Immediately someone went to hand it over.

There are tens of thousands of guards, not all cavalry.Although all can ride horses and shoot arrows, in fact infantry accounts for the majority.Usually busy with farm work and practicing in spare time, it is similar to Xiangyong, but with stronger equipment and combat effectiveness.

Shao Shude looked up at Sishui City, it was time to comfort the guards.
