Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 91 Fei Shui thinks that Anshi is there, and Jingyang looks away from Ziyi ([-])

On August 25, the first year of Zhonghe, the Tielin army marched several miles west of Gaoling County.

Chao Jun was afraid of being attacked, so he escaped.However, he did not go far, only retreated a few miles to camp, and Shao Shude led his army into the city.

"Military envoy, the bandit army is here again." On the second day, Shao Shude and Li Xiaochang just went to the city to inspect, and someone immediately reported.

The Tielin and Fufang armies totaled 2000 people, and the bandit army was probably in the early 7000s. The bandit general Li Xiang thought he had a large number of troops, and he had just defeated Zhaoyi Jie commander Gao Xun, so he came over again .

Shao Shude looked around, but saw that the camp of the bandit army had not moved, but had selected more than [-] soldiers and horses to form an array outside the city.More than a hundred horses stepped forward, shouting abuse, extremely arrogant.

"These hundreds of thieves are astoundingly brave, their sharp edge, and they abuse them all day long. The other day, a certain general Fang Meng was sent out of the city, but he was beheaded. afraid again.

Shao Shude looked at it for a long time, and felt that letting these people continue to scold would hinder morale, so he asked, "Who can kill a thief for a certain?"

"Military envoy, I would like to go!" Lu Huaizhong stepped forward and asked for the battle.

"This is not what Du Yuhou did." Shao Shude shook his head and asked, "Who else?"

"Military envoy, someone is willing to go!" Li Tangbin and Guo Qi appeared at the same time.

"How many soldiers?"

"Fifty rides is enough."

"Zhisuyu!"

"The end is here!"

"Send a second general, lead fifty elite cavalry, and go out with the two generals Li and Guo."

"Why do you need to be a general, a certain leader of the fifty-fold family son to fight." Zhe Siyu replied.

"There are no jokes in the army." Shao Shude looked at his brother-in-law and said slowly.

"The military envoy is waiting." Zhesuyu replied without hesitation.

"Okay, I will send you to wait for the battle." Shao Shude said, "Wei Boqiu, send the order down, beat the drums, and build your momentum."

A moment later, the south gate of Gaoling County opened wide.Li Tangbin, Guo Qi, and Zhe Siyu led fifty cavalry forward and slowly walked to a place a hundred paces away from the bandit army.

The scolding of the bandit army stopped abruptly, and they rushed out, shouting loudly: "A certain person is Tian Gui, the general under the command of Li Xiang, the general of Zuowuwei of Daqi, who killed Fang Meng in Kunfang the day before yesterday.

When he spoke, he looked arrogant and pointed at the spear in his hand, which was invincible.

"Does the thief know me?" Guo Qi stepped forward and roared.

"Who?"

"Guo Qi, General of the Iron Forest Army!"

"What pig dog?"

Guo Qi didn't answer, he rode the horse forward, got close, and threw the milling stalk far away, straight to the left eye of the field track.

Li Tangbin and Zhe Siyu rushed forward a moment before Guo Qi, and the fifty cavalry rushed up.Li Tangbin immediately threw two short spears in a row, knocking down the two thieves who came forward to grab his main general.Orissuyu opened his bow from left to right, shot several people in a row, and the arrows were not missed.

The thief army was deterred by the power of the three, and subconsciously slowed down the speed of the horse.When the troops in the city saw this, they cheered continuously, and the sound of tumult reached the sky.

Fifty cavalry rushed into the group of thieves at high speed.Guo Qi took out the horizontal saber given by Shao Shude and cut several people in a row.Li Tangbin was also incompetent, stabbing and stabbing again and again with an iron spear.Yu Orihisu's archery skills were extraordinary, and the thief's shot made the thief ride close to the horse's back, screaming again and again.

After the fifty cavalry broke through the thief cavalry, they turned around and rushed to kill a wave, completely dispersing the thief army.Guo Qi calmly turned over and dismounted, chopped several knives, cut off the head of the field track, and placed it in the saddle bag. No one dared to stop the thief army who watched the battle from a distance.

"Military envoy, fortunately not to be humiliated!" Guo Qi walked up to the top of the city and threw the head of the field track on the ground, saying.

"Cut the generals in front of the battle, and thwart the enemy's vigour. Deputy General Guo can be promoted to ten generals and given [-] pieces of silk." Shao Shude picked up his head, looked at the miller still deeply embedded in the thief general's left eye, and said, "General It's amazing."

"Li Tangbin and Zhe Siyu also gave [-] pieces of silk, and the knights who fought gave [-] pieces of silk."

Killing the generals and warriors in front of the enemy's line, demoralizing the enemy's morale on the spot, this kind of credit is the same as leading the army straight into the thief's line, clashing left and right, and shaking its position. matter.A commander, if he doesn't have characters who can perform "extraordinary feats" at such critical moments, he will have a lot less options when performing tactics, which is very regrettable.

Lu Huaizhong was envious and hated the military envoy for not allowing him to fight.

The warriors of the thief army were beheaded, and the army was exhausted. After a while outside the city, they finally decided to return to the camp in batches.

The retreat was a bit tricky, there were people covering it, and someone supporting it, and it was gone in no time.

"Where did the army of thieves come from?" Shao Shude asked after returning to the county office.

"Envoy Shao, the bandits should have brought a lot of food and grass with the army. There is also a lot of money and food in the Weiqiao warehouse to the east, but there are heavy troops to defend and it is not easy to attack." Li Xiaochang replied.He now has only [-] soldiers left, far less than Shao Shude, so he speaks very respectfully, and he does not have the momentum of a military commander in the town.

The Weiqiao Warehouse is located on the banks of the Wei River. It was originally a place where the imperial court used to store the money and grain that came from Kanto.Now that Kanto has no money and food, it is used by Chao Jun as a logistics departure base, which is quite suitable.

When Li Xiaochang said this, Shao Shude understood that using his brains on the enemy's food route was of little effect.

In ancient times, in wars, the first thing that leaders and generals did is to do everything possible to weaken the enemy, including but not limited to making them unable to supply food, difficulty in picking water and woodcutters, lack of military equipment, suspicion and discord among generals, and sergeants returning like arrows, etc. Wait.Anyway, the core point is to let the enemy army not be in the best state, but adjust to the best state, and then defeat it.

Both sides have equal strength, strong morale, sufficient military resources, and similar training levels. This kind of battle is something that famous generals should try to avoid, and it is not in line with the art of war.

"Send an envoy to write a letter to Wang Chongrong, invite him to lead his troops westward, threaten Li Xiang's back, and shake his army's heart." Shao Shude ordered.

Wang Chongrong probably couldn't come.After Gao Xun was defeated, Wang Chongrong increased his troops again and again in Tongzhou and Panxian, which should have felt the pressure.But it's okay to give it a try, in case someone's lard is blinded, they really send an army west to help themselves.

"Military envoy, someone has a plan." Chen Cheng said beside him.

"speak!"

"The military envoy can send someone to spread the news, saying that Zhu Wen, the puppet envoy of Qi Tonghua, has surrendered to Wang Chongrong, and wants to join forces to advance westward and attack Li Xiang's side and back." Chen Cheng said: "Li Xiang heard the report, I don't know if it's true or not, but calm down. Make a big move, or there may be an opportunity to take advantage of it.”

"This plan is acceptable." Shao Shude praised: "These things should be done immediately. In addition, order the generals to prepare their troops and horses, and go out of the city tomorrow to form an array to invite the thieves to fight. First, feel their bottom."

******
In the early morning of the second day, the gate of Gaoling County opened wide, and thousands of Tielin troops drove out one after another.

The trap camp is still a pioneer.

Yesterday, Guo Qi, who was in the limelight, sent someone to carry Tian Ji's head and run outside the nest army camp.The soldiers laughed and cursed, doing their best to be ironic, completely ignoring the nest army.

After provoking for about half an hour, Chao Jun finally dispatched.

Hundreds of horsemen poured out in batches from the camp gate, intending to expel the provocative Tang army outside the camp first, and then set up to fight.

There are hundreds of them, and there are only dozens of Tang troops outside the camp, so it is not a problem to drive them away.Unexpectedly, the group of people rushed forward while they were about to leave.There were more than a dozen good archers in the front, and they fired when they raised their bows, and the thieves and horsemen fell down without any response.

"Where's the foot archers? Shoot!" The cavalry generals of the bandit army yelled in anger, urging the foot archers in the camp to expel the Tang army rangers.

Suddenly, the thief approached, and before the thief could react, he was stabbed into the chest by a lance and fell to the ground.

Guo Qi laughed and drove away.As soon as the thieves went out, they were placed in a row, and their momentum was slightly affected.

The nest army has no rules!

This is Guo Qi's feeling.To deal with these brave stragglers, there is no need to send the same warriors to fight, and some other methods are used to expel them.But the thieves did not know whether it was chaos or poor command, but the response was slow.Today the two armies are fighting, and the military envoy should have the opportunity to destroy the bandit army.

In a head-to-head fight, from Guo Qi's point of view, Tie Lin Jun, who is almost all veterans, has a good chance of winning.

Three o'clock noon.

The soldiers of the Iron Forest Army had already sat on the ground, finished eating and resting for a long time.The enemy army had just finished their formation in a hurry. Shao Shude stood on a high platform and looked from a distance. The enemy army sent about 8000 people and formed a Yanyue formation.

"Li Xiang is not giving up. I thought he would set up a square or wheel formation, but a moon formation came instead." Shao Shude smiled at Chen Cheng.The Yanyue Formation has both offense and defense, not a purely defensive formation.

"Before our army arrived, the thief army and the Kunfang army fought and won. Maybe Li Xiang felt that although our army had warriors, the battle might not be enough." Chen Cheng said.

The Tielin Army formed a simplified version of a wild goose formation, with ten generals Guo Qi leading six scattered formations in front, followed by Li Tangbin leading 700 people.Diagonally behind them, three hundred cavalry were each deployed as an assault force.

After that, there were more than 500 main force of the Tielin Army's infantry.At the forefront is the front battalion led by Lu Huaizhong, a total of [-] people, all tall and long arms, courageous people, wearing iron armor and holding long spears, waiting to break through the bandit formation.

A total of more than [-] cavalry, including the cavalry of the Kunfang Army, were deployed in their right rear, and were also ready to go.

Different from Zhu Wen in the Battle of Tongzhou, they did not attack the flanks this time, but went straight to the central army.

As soon as the hour came, the drums rumbled.

Guo Qi led the three hundred picks in the camp, walking slowly, maintaining his strength.Li Tangbin led 700 people to follow closely behind. A total of [-] riders on both sides led the horses and followed for a while before stopping. While arranging the equipment, they comforted the horses.

Guo Qi was still holding Tian Gui's head, and the 300 people behind him looked like gangsters, walking and cursing all the way.As they got closer, four teams of archers stepped forward, shot a wave first, then threw away their step bows, drew out their horizontal knives, followed behind the robed Ze holding a long lance, and rushed towards the enemy's formation quickly.

"Kill!" As soon as the Tang and Chao armies fought, it was a life-and-death struggle.Guo Qi was very familiar with both long and short weapons. After stabbing several people with the long spear in his hand, the shield guard beside him was stabbed and fell to the ground.Guo Qi threw the long lance directly, took a large shield, pulled out the horizontal knife, and led the people forward bravely, regardless of life and death.

"Guo Qi is really a great general!" Chen Cheng looked at him with fascination.

Shao Shude nodded, and the 300 people's forwards directly broke up the first team of the Chao Army's middle army.The 700 people from Li Tangbin's department arrived quickly and rushed in along the gap.The bandits in the second formation shot arrows desperately, and the soldiers trapped in the camp fell down in a row like cutting wheat, but those who were not shot down quickly rushed to the front row of the bandits, stabbing with spears and intersecting knives and axes, showing a little fear also no.

There are those in the Chao Army who know the details of the camp, and they cry without tears for the fierceness of these past Paoze. They are all old brothers who have entered Guanzhong all the way from Henan and Huainan. Why are they so tricky!

The flag was waved, and the entire [-] cavalry in the front began to mount, and then divided into two groups, heading straight for the bandit army.

The thieves' army had about [-] people in eight small formations.At this time, the trapped camp has been broken twice. Seeing that they are so brave, the thieves suddenly made a noise, and their positions seem to be shaken, but they can attack!
