Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 81 Xiaozhan follows the golden drum, Xiaomian holds the jade saddle ([-])
Zhesiyu pulled out the second spear from under the horse's belly, stabbed, slapped, and pushed, as if he was no one in the nest army formation.

He had some regrets. When he charged just now, he almost rushed to the general of the bandit army.The bandit general's personal soldiers shouted "Protect General Zhu", that should be Zhu Zhen.

If only Zhu Shuzong was by his side!With the cooperation of the two, they will definitely be able to break through the enemy's interception and behead Zhu Zhen's fellow under the horse.

But it doesn't matter, they are all unknown people, and it doesn't make much sense to be killed, so Zhu Wenneng is a little interested.

After rushing to kill for a while, Orissu Yu finally returned with the cavalry and rested.They have already lost their speed, and if they continue to fight, they will only increase their casualties.

Zhu Zhen had her hair disheveled and withdrew from the Tang army in embarrassment.More than a thousand soldiers were shot and killed by the arrow rain when they rushed into the formation, and another group was killed and wounded during the battle. In the end, they were rushed by the children of the Zhe family, losing almost half of them.

Seeing the Tielin army marching forward slowly after suppressing the rebels, Zhu Zhen also wanted to cry without tears.It's not that the brothers can't fight to the death, it's really impossible to fight.The pseudo-Tang army is completely rogue, and they put out such a large array of layers, fifty paces for a while, a break for a while, and a fight for the thickness of your troops, which is a fart!

After retreating with more than 400 remnants of the defeated generals, they were rushed by the Shatuo cavalry who were in the melee, killing and injuring hundreds of people. In the end, only more than [-] managed to escape back to the main formation to rest.

"General!" Zhu Zhen cried aloud: "They are all children of a certain person who have been with him since Henan. I lost most of the battle today. You can kill me, general, or go down and be with my brothers."

Zhu Wen didn't seem to hear Zhu Zhen's words, and just stared straight ahead.

The cavalry of the Chinese army was also sent out, and as a result, the cavalry of the Tang army was extremely sturdy. Not only did they entangle the shock troops who were planning to widen the gap, they even pushed them back slowly.There is also a gap between cavalry and cavalry, Zhu Wen secretly sighed.Many people were originally foot soldiers, but they practiced slowly after robbing horses, but they were still not very good.

Standing on the high platform, you can actually see it very clearly.The battlefield at the moment was a complete mess. Our right flank penetrated deep into the enemy's line, almost piercing through their front army, while the left flank advanced less. Although it also penetrated deep into it, it had already lost its momentum. It is likely to be pushed back by someone.

The one with the greatest chance is actually the Chinese army.Ding Hui's selected vanguard first broke the dispersal team that Tang's army was at the forefront, and then defeated it for a while. Zhu Zhen led more than a thousand soldiers to follow up, and then broke for a while, forcing the opponent's former army commander to flee.

As a result, the people responded very quickly. When they put themselves into the [-] cavalry of the Chinese army and put them in the winning hand, they dispatched almost twice as many elite cavalry as themselves, and they just pulled the situation back.Then the fresh troops stepped forward, and the fighter plane was completely lost.What's the use of investing in the rear army at this time?

toughness!It can be seen that this Tang army is all old and old, and its toughness is quite good.I heard that they fought with Li Guochang and his son for two years before, and it was not a melon egg, so there is no way to do it.

"What does it look like crying and crying?" Zhu Wen kicked Zhu Zhen over and said angrily, "Immediately rectify the troops and bring Xu Tang and Hu Zhen back."

Zhu Zhen wiped her tears and left.

"Send an order to Pang Cong, and the cavalry of the rear army will come forward and prepare to cut off the rear." Zhu Wen continued to order: "Let Deng Jijun lead his troops forward to cover the retreat of Xu, Hu, and Zhu."

After giving these orders, Zhu Wen slapped the railing fiercely, which was a loss!

******
Shao Shude slowly came to the corpse of Yi Zhao, who was still angry and wide-eyed, and said: "General Yi is selfish, domineering and arrogant, and treats the lives of [-] soldiers as a child's play, so there should be this reward."

Today's battle has been beaten up until now.Both sides failed to achieve their goals, and they both killed and injured a lot of people. It was a lose-lose battle.

The former commander of the Tang army fled and was beheaded. Thousands of generals were demoralized and could no longer fight. They had to be rectified.The Central Army is a new force, but the Chao Army is already gathering its troops and shrinking slowly, and it is estimated that it will not catch up in time.

It is also estimated that the cavalry can still get a bit of meat and fish, and bite down the nest army, but the cavalry in the back line also came up, and how much they can bite depends on luck.

This battle, that's it.Both sides withdrew their troops, and the Tang officials won an apparent victory, but the casualties were probably more than others.Ugly swap ratio!

How will this battle be recorded in later history books?

"The Tang army lined up outside the city, and Zhu Wen led the army to fight with them, and returned at a disadvantage." In just a few dozen words, a bloody battle involving more than 20,000 people on both sides was easily summed up.

Ha ha.

The battle was over soon, the ground was full of corpses and groaning wounded soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers of the various armies began to step forward to clean the battlefield.When encountering an enemy soldier who is wounded but not dead, it is a direct blow, and the wounded soldier of his own side is carried back.This is a brutal fighting field, it has always been so.

"Commander, this battle defeats the Chao army, Zhu Wen is frightened, and will not dare to fight again." Zhuge Shuang has already stepped off the high platform, this battle should have earned him a little more capital, and he is still in a very good mood.

"Zhu Wen lost at least [-] soldiers, enough for him to feel distressed for a long time." Zhuge Shuang smiled and said: "Yi Zhao is to blame himself, it is ridiculous to divide you and me. should."

"Commander, there are still more than 5000 people in Yizhao, and they should be rectified as soon as possible, otherwise changes will happen later."

Zhuge Shuang glanced at Shao Shude and said, "Shude will pick a battalion of soldiers first, and also look to buy some auxiliary soldiers, equipment and so on. The rest, the commander will take care of it for the time being, so as not to break away."

"Follow the command of the commander." Shao Shude replied.

After cleaning the battlefield, the Tang army withdrew its troops and returned to the camp.That night, Zhu Wen secretly carried goods, provisions, and equipment on the navy ship, and began to prepare for the retreat.

Facts have proved that he can't defeat the Tang army in front of him, and he can't capture the bridgehead in Hexi County, so it doesn't make sense to stay in the same state.

Sacrificing himself to create opportunities for Huang Ye, Lao Zhu would not do such a thing, not to mention that Huang Ye might not be able to break into Hezhong Mansion.The Tang army in Hedong, Hezhong, Xia Sui and other towns should all be able to fight. The troops under Huang Ye's hands were not as good as their own, and there was no hope of capturing Hezhong. It would be good not to be beaten by Wang Chongrong.

On the sixth day of March, Zhu Wen left Tongzhou by boat.Zhuge Shuang did not order the pursuit at all, and the two sides disengaged with a tacit understanding.

As soon as Zhu Wen left, Zhuge Shuang played a "great victory", saying "recover Tongzhou", "kill thousands of thieves" and so on.It is not easy for the court to verify this matter. Anyway, the recovery of Tongzhou is absolutely true, and Zhuge Commander is one step closer to his dream of being the Sanchuan commander.

After Yizhao's death, the group had no leader, and was soon divided up by Zhuge Shuang, Zhu Mei, and Shao Shude.Shao Shude selected a battalion of 200 soldiers, bringing the total number of infantry soldiers of the Iron Forest Army to 800.In addition, more than 7300 cavalry soldiers and more than 1000 auxiliary soldiers were recruited, and the total strength of the Iron Forest Army has reached [-], a record high—this is not counting the more than [-] nest troops who have been following without a name surrender.

For the remaining 4000 people, Zhuge Shuang took away 900 people and made good efforts to win over them, so he had an armed force directly under him.Zhu Mei, the governor of Daizhou, won [-] people, and it was not without small benefits.All parties are happy, except for the dead Yi Zhao.

To annex friendly forces and expand his troops, Shao Shude did it without any pressure.When I think about it in the dead of night, I always feel that I am now more and more like a warlord, more and more ruthless.The environment really can affect people, and power is also an aphrodisiac that men cannot resist. No matter how firm you are, it will be corroded sooner or later.

Shao Shude now only hopes that he can still keep the ideal of ending the troubled times and allowing the people to live a stable life.Otherwise, what is the difference from other warlords?

After the official army occupied Tongzhou, Zhu Mei continued to lead his troops to the south, approaching the Wei River.Coincidentally, Huang Ye failed to attack the river and lost thousands of troops. Hearing that Zhu Wen had withdrawn and the lifeline of Wei River was threatened, he immediately led the sailors to escape and escaped in the direction of Chang'an.

So far, the battle of the Chao Army's attack on Hezhongfu has been a complete failure. From the strategic level to the tactical level, it has all been compared.

Wang Chongrong also showed confidence. After Huang Ye withdrew, he personally led more than [-] troops from Hezhongya to cross the river westward, and even conquered Huayin, Huazhou and other places, with great momentum.

The situation in the east of Jingzhao Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes under the tossing of their armies.Huang Chao, who is far away in Chang'an, should have panicked after hearing about it.

By the way, the battle to attack Fengxiang Mansion in the west is about to start.

The No. [-] figure in Huang Chao's army, Shang Rang personally led the army of more than [-] people, and confronted the four towns of Fengxiang, Jingyuan, Shuofang and Binning headed by Zheng Tang.This is a battle that determines the ownership of the west of Chang'an. The Chao army wins, the Four Towns Alliance is estimated to be disbanded, and the Tang army wins, then the Chao army can no longer move westward.

To a certain extent, this is the decisive battle that will determine the arrogance of the Tang Dynasty.In the battles of Tongzhou and Hezhong, both sides invested a lot of troops, but the importance was too different to compare.
