Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 551

Liu Yanzhen is self-confident, because he regards the difficult task of commanding nearly 100,000 people as a small fight with hundreds of minions running around.

He treats a matter of life and death as a child's play.

In fact, before the northern battalion that led the army was deployed, the time when Liu Yanzhen really commanded the army was the half a year when he was in command of the Shenwu Army.

But although the Shenwu Army is the elite of the Imperial Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, their number is not large, and the core members are only a few hundred.

He, Liu Yanzhen, can convince the public only with the BMW under his crotch, the strong bow in his hand and his family background.

Therefore, this resume does not provide him with much experience in commanding seven 80,000 people. It can be said that Liu Yanzhen has no experience in leading large corps in combat.

If he was born in Zhang Zhao's side, he would be qualified to be the Marquis of Du Yu, a Zuo Yulin guard.

Liu Yanzhen shouldn't have boasted so much that she believed that she was an unworldly famous general, and that Li Jing was also boasting of the "five ghosts" by her side, treating Liu Yanzhen as a Great Wall.

Therefore, the emperor, who had always been a little foolish and bold, immediately thought of Liu Yanzhen when he heard that he was going to send troops, and handed over [-] elite imperial troops.

However, no matter how self-confident or ignorant, when Liu Yanzhen woke up the next day, it was already noon, and she hadn't seen Zhang Yanhan's rear army, and the whole Meng Zhuze was still dead silent, she immediately realized until something is wrong.

He immediately ordered that the grain, grass, and supplies that had been removed from the ship be moved to the ship again, and the army immediately prepared to set off.

Um!It's still the way of a dude, when he came aggressively, he thought he was unparalleled in the world, he was slightly frustrated, and he didn't even verify it, he just listened to the wind and wanted to escape.

When Chai Kehong, Marquis of Yu, the capital of Longwu Army, saw Liu Yanzhen's faint move again, the labor sergeant angrily stepped forward to stop him.

Zhang Quanyue at the side stopped the famous military academy, sighed and shook his head.

"It's too late. Zhou Jun must have intercepted and killed my rear army. Zhang Yanhan's mediocre generation will definitely not be able to resist. It's too late to do anything now. You and I will wait for a deadly battle."

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Quanyue finished speaking, there was a loud noise in front of him, and the Southern Tang Youyi Army in gray and black leather armor rushed back.

Zhou Jun came from the east, north, south, and three sides, and surrounded more than [-] Southern Tang Forbidden Army regiments.

Liu Yanzhen was moving the ants, but seeing that the Zhou army had arrived, she still knew to come forward to deploy the array.

At this time, the Southern Tang army had already built a simple water village at the mouth of the Bian River flowing out of Mengzhu Lake as a place for placing large ships.

Seeing Zhou Jun coming from the land, Liu Yanzhen immediately ordered several warships of the navy to go down the river to see if they could rush out.

However, Zhang Zhao had been prepared for a long time. He connected the captured warships with iron chains and laid them across the Bian River, so that the Southern Tang army could not rush over.

This time Liu Yanzhen finally gave up, but old Mr. Liu was still calm because he still had a magic weapon.

That was the clever strategy he came up with to defeat the enemy with his clever little brain after reading a few military books.

At that moment, Zhang Zhao ordered the Shenji Battalion to set up a camel whirlwind cannon to drive the Southern Tang army away from the north bank, while he personally led the army to the south to meet Bai Congxin's troops.

Liu Yanzhen also formed an formation in the south with his back against the water fortress. Old Mr. Liu laid his horses horizontally and erected strange-shaped, green-faced and long-toothed wooden statues of lions and tigers in front of the formation.

Not to mention, it is quite realistic, specially painted, and even made animal hair with silk thread and fur.

The most peculiar thing is the front, where Liu Yanzhen placed all the cavalry of the Southern Tang Dynasty, a total of [-] cavalry, on the front of the formation.

Well, the cavalry was in the middle, Zhang Zhao thought that Liu Yanzhen had lost his mind and wanted to confront Zhou Jun's cavalry.

But obviously, with Zhang Shengren's IQ level, it is impossible for him to guess Mr. Liu's tricks! '

What cavalry hedge?So outdated!

While everyone was stunned, Liu Yanzhen ordered someone to tie the legs of the cavalry horses together with ropes, and then drove them to the front of the army to use as a city wall.

And he was particularly careful to throw a large number of leather bags full of barbed caltrops in front of the horse as a trap.

In Mr. Liu's opinion, no matter how strong Zhou Jun's iron cavalry is, he is still riding a horse, right?
I imitated Zhuge Wuning's old wisdom of destroying the elephant army, and carved lions and tigers in front of the army. No matter how good your cavalry and horses are, if you see a lion and tiger right in front of you, how dare you attack?
And it would be easier to understand if the legs of the horses were tied up. Liu Yanzhen put armor on the horses, and the legs of the horses were connected to prevent them from running around. Isn't this a ready-made formation?

At that time, the soldiers would hide behind the horses and shoot arrows and spears. When the Zhou army came, the first thing they hit was not the man but the horse.

In addition, he sprinkled a lot of barbed caltrops in front of the horse, which could also kill and injure the Zhou army. It is simply victorious in all battles!

This is sometimes!Too much imagination is not a good thing.

Old Mr. Liu pretended to be in the military camp all his life, and he felt that he had comprehended many magical tactics, but in fact, it was useless and silly.

At least Zhang Zhao was stunned in the distance, and Zhou Jun, who had assembled, fell into self-doubt collectively for at least 5 minutes.

Nobunaga Murong tore off a lot of the well-trimmed beard on his chin, and finally looked back at Zhang Zhao with certainty and said.

"My lord, my child really can't imagine, what is the reason for such an formation? But I know that as long as we charge one by one, Wu Jun will definitely collapse."

Murong Nobunaga couldn't help laughing out loud as he said that, his smile didn't matter, it was as if it was contagious, and Zhou Jun immediately burst into laughter, even Zhang Zhao couldn't help laughing, for a while Morale boosted.

As for the Southern Tang Army, many people felt that this was indeed a bit too silly.

I just feel that the future of following such a coach is gloomy, so before playing, it seems lifeless.

In the left formation, Zhang Quanyue yelled loudly and asked people to push the wooden lions and tigers out of the formation. He couldn't control others, but around him, such things that insulted IQ were not allowed.

With a light wave of Zhang Zhao's hand, the rumble of war drums sounded, and all the [-] elite he had drawn had arrived.

As for the Southern Tang army, after being eaten up by the rear army, there were only about 1000 people left.

As usual, the Zhou army's central army is composed of elite soldiers from Regret Mountain Capital, but this time around them, there are 1000 people with silver guns trained by Feng Hui.

The barbarian bear is in the center. His size is huge. While he can always attract the enemy's firepower, his majestic figure is also the most important reference for his own soldiers.

In many cases, as long as the soldiers saw that the wild bear was still moving forward, they knew that the army must also be moving forward.

It is precisely because of such a prominent role that the barbarian was ordered by Zhang Zhao to wear two layers of cloth armor, and an inner layer of steel wire chain mail with extremely strong defensive power, but its weight has decreased.

This chain mail was carefully crafted by Cao Yanming to honor Zhang Zhao, but now Zhang Zhao doesn't need to go to the battlefield by himself, so it is generally given to his subordinates, and whoever is given it will be the main force in this war.

Barbarian bear is holding a huge shield in one hand and a large flag in the other. Around him, Zhou Jun is also playing shield style now, which is really good for defending against bows and crossbows and attacking the enemy's formation.

Amidst the beating of the drums by the officers and the shouts of one, two, three, four, the Zhou army formed a series of formations, pressing towards the Southern Tang army like a wall.

While pressing over, the main spearmen for melee combat and the jumping soldiers holding hatchets and hammers went to the last row instead, followed by the sword and shield soldiers were crossbowmen, and behind the crossbowmen were archers.

During the march, whenever the crossbowmen finished loading, they would shoot out the crossbow arrows from the gaps or above the shields, while the archers changed their heavy arrows uniformly and used the method of throwing to shoot again.

The sound was like thunder, and the arrows were like rain. Mr. Liu immediately realized that his so-called war horses tied their legs and formed a formation for a city wall, and they were completely fooling around.

Under the severe punishment and law, this person would become a deserter because he was afraid of death, let alone a war horse.

Regret Shandu and Silver Spears both advanced in formation, and the crossbowmen had a large number of divine arm bows in their hands, not to mention the great power, and the arrows were fired very fast.

The war horse covered with a thin layer of iron skin mixed with leather armor can't stop the power of crossbow arrows at all.

The two sides were still in the stage of shooting crossbows and arrows, and the horses started to gallop in pain after being shot. If a horse wanted to run away, it would immediately cause panic among the surrounding horses, and then they fell to the ground together.

Because the legs are tied with ropes, if one horse falls, the rest of the horses will fall down.

For a while, before the battle really heated up, the front of the Southern Tang army was already in chaos comparable to hell.

The crossbow arrows that came from the spurt, the horse that fell to the ground and screamed, the horse that was struggling to get up, and the soldier who was suppressed by the horse and was screaming.

The wild bear has fought for so many years, and the quality and equipment of the Southern Tang Army's soldiers are considered good, but he has never seen someone so embarrassed and about to be defeated so soon.

The giant bear roared and threw the shield in its hand to the ground. The leather bag containing the caltrops immediately lost its effect. It's useless.

Dunzhu ran faster than a wild bear. He quickly stepped over the panicked horses, and a god descended from the earth to charge, directly crashing into the Nantang army formation.

The Southern Tang soldiers gathered the embarrassed hedgehogs together and wanted to resist. Dunzhu roared, and the spears in his hand flew out one after another, and the spear throwers behind him followed suit.

The Southern Tang soldiers gathered by the hedgehogs were immediately turned over all the way. They couldn't bear the loss, and started to run to the sides and the back while crying, and the gap came out directly.

So, taking advantage of the gap made by Dunzhu, Zhou Jun scrambled to rush in and slash and kill.

Isn't it a loss for such a stupid enemy if he doesn't hurry up and earn military merits with Wushuang.

At the same time as the infantry assaulted, Zhou Jun's cavalry separated from the left and right of the big formation, and then chiseled the waist of the Southern Tang army formation.

Because Liu Yanzhen tied all the horses together, the Southern Tang Army only had cavalry, and they all became infantry. They had no ability to counter the Zhou army's cavalry, and could only use pure infantry to fight against it.

It's a pity that although they had many bows and crossbows, the frontal infantry was routed too quickly, causing the two wings of the central army to panic quickly.

Murong Nobunaga and Li Cunhui disrupted the establishment, each led cavalry with a mixture of light and heavy cavalry and dashed back and forth, defeating the Southern Tang Central Army in only three rounds.

It was only at this moment that Mr. Liu realized that battles were not fought in this way. The military books and tactics left by the ancients really had their reasons.

However, he understood too late that the 9000 Southern Tang Army, especially the [-] people in his Central Army, had collapsed!
In desperation, Liu Yanzhen still had a bit of pride, perhaps his father Liu Xin's bandit leader blood had revived in him.

Liu Yanzhen got on his horse, holding a family heirloom bow, wearing a golden black light armor, and a unicorn on the snow under his crotch, and galloped out with more than a hundred Huainan heroes who had followed him for many years, and rushed towards the direction Murong Nobunaga and Li Cunhui were attacking. past.

'Boom!Boom!Boom! '

When Liu Yanzhen was on the horse, three arrows shot out in succession.

An arrow hit Zhao Kuangyin's shoulder, causing Zhao Da to grin his teeth in pain.

Two arrows hit Murong Nobunaga's chest, with such force that Murong Nobunaga was punched twice in the chest, the pain was unbearable.

Li Cunhui's eyes were red beside Murong Xinchang. He held a horse and rushed towards Liu Yanzhen.

"Wu Guo barbarian, a certain family is going to chop you up."

Of course Li Cunhui didn't think that Murong Xinchang was dying, what a joke, he and Murong Xinchang's cloth armors were all steel armors bestowed by their adoptive father Zhang Zhao, unless they were shot at close range by a crossbow arrow of more than two stones, Otherwise, it is impossible to break the armor.

What made him angry was, what does this barbarian from the state of Wu mean?The three of them stood next to each other, not only Murong Xinchang received two arrows, but even Zhao Kuangyin received one arrow.

But Li Cunhui, the majestic commander of the Right Feather Lin Weidu, is not even qualified to take an arrow?
Liu Yanzhen never expected that one missed arrow would make Li Cunhui so angry.

And the curly-haired green horse under Li Cunhui's crotch is also a rare horse. When he drew his bow for the second time, Li Cunhui had already rushed in front of him.

Liu Yanzhen was about to shoot an arrow, when Li Cunhui waved his horse and roared like a tiger descending a mountain, Liu Yanzhen's heart trembled, but the arrow didn't go out.

But after hesitating for a while, Li Cunhui arrived, and Ma Qian slammed across Liu Yanzhen's chest, the fire flashed on the nail leaf, and Liu Yanzhen's chest went numb.

In an instant, the two riders were about to stagger, Li Cunhui held a lance in his left hand, and drew out a saber with his right hand, about to stab him.

At the critical moment, the Huainan heroes recruited by Liu Yanzhen swarmed in, surrounded Li Cunhui and began to unleash swords and guns.

Li Cunhui had no choice but to give up Liu Yanzhen, who held a lance in one hand and a knife in the other, and stabbed fiercely.

However, as soon as Liu Yanzhen recovered from the shock, the cavalry of the Zhou army around him all spotted him as a big fish.

Because in the Central Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty where there were almost no cavalry, it was too obvious for him to have one or two hundred cavalry.

At present Murong Xinchang, Zhao Kuangyin, Wang Shenqi, Zhao Yanjin, Zhebu Jiashi rushed from the west.

Huang Yingda, Han Tong, Gao Huaide, Fu Yanqing, and Yue Saonu came from the north.

Ma Shacai, Qiongre Duojin, Yao Yuanfu, Wang Quanbin, Hou Renbao and others came from the south.

For a time, more than [-] strong generals of the Zhou army served Liu Yanzhen together. How lucky is this?
Mr. Liu was able to shoot and shoot on his own, but under the siege of this group of cavalry generals who can be regarded as the first-class cavalry generals in the world, before firing an arrow, he was hit by more than a dozen arrows in an instant, and the horse was pecked at the same time by five or six Hit by hammer, Guduo, and long lance.

Immediately, the body was like a rag sack, bleeding continuously, and the person couldn't die anymore.

The battle between the Central Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Right Army ended soon, and they lost their combat effectiveness in just over half an hour.

However, to Zhang Zhao's surprise, in the Southern Tang Dynasty Zuojun, Zuojinwuwei, Zuo Shenwujun plus Feng'an and Xiongwu towns, a total of 7000 people besieged the more than [-] Tang troops, but they never took them down.

During the fierce attack, Luo Shande, the commanding general of the rear army and the commander-in-chief of Feng'an Town, even went on the field in person.

However, the Southern Tang army used large shields to cover the formation, and spearmen stood staggered behind the sword and shield soldiers, stabbing through the gaps in the shields.

The elite Jianghuai crossbowmen kept firing their arrows, which caused heavy casualties to the soldiers of the Zhou army who were unable to withstand the damage of the crossbow arrows even though they were wearing heavy armor.

At the same time, about [-] strong archers of the Southern Tang Dynasty shrank behind the shields and continued to throw heavy arrows, which also posed a great threat to the Zhou army.

The wild boar's eyes were red, not to mention the heavy casualties under his command, the other armies were slaughtering pigs and dogs, and he was the only one who outnumbered the enemy and was beaten so embarrassingly.

He put on two layers of armor and urged the soldiers under his command to continue to attack. The cavalry of Zuo Jinwuwei and Feng'an Town also detoured behind the Southern Tang Army and launched waves of forced attacks.

Sure enough, under the onslaught of the commander's personal supervisor, the Southern Tang army finally couldn't hold on and began to retreat one after another. However, Zhou Jun's left side was also pierced by the Southern Tang spearman.

Shan Zhuer was about to ask all the Zuo Shenwu Army to fill the vacancy, but at this moment, a group of more than [-] people, dressed in black clothes, could not see what kind of armor they were wearing, and wore black iron helmets with tigers painted on their heads, An elite soldier with a giant sword rushed in along the gap.

The giant swords in the hands of these soldiers are much larger than ordinary swords, and even the length is almost as long as that of Mo Dao. Although the handle is shorter than Mo Dao, the blade is longer. It can be regarded as a strange knife.

The vacancy they broke into also happened to be the place where the Zuo Shenwu Army archers and a small number of Lanzhou Unity archers gathered.

This is dangerous. After the Southern Tang army rushed in, they scattered the impact, and then danced with their hands, borrowing their strength, and advancing like a whirlwind!
In an instant, there were screams everywhere, the Zuo Shenwu Army and the Unity Archers, after all, were not heavy-armored elites like Regret Shandu and Yinqiangdu.

They didn't have the ability to shoot arrows and play Mo Dao at the same time. They were only equipped with light armor and short knives, and they were killed immediately with blood flowing into rivers.

The furious boar could only call some of the soldiers who were about to reinforce the front, so as to be able to withstand the attack of this strange epee soldier.

But in this way, there were not enough soldiers to attack, and the Southern Tang Army pushed back.

Zhang Zhao was immediately on a high place, and saw that the wild boars were beaten back several times, and it seemed that the casualties were not small.

He immediately made adjustments and sent messengers to call back hundreds of Barbarian bears. At this moment, sixty camel whirlwind guns from the Shenji Battalion who had just crossed the river also arrived.

Zhang Zhao led his personal guards and rode his horse to Shan Zhuer's side.

When he saw the armored man wearing a black robe and holding a two-handed giant sword similar to that of the West, a name instantly came to his mind.

Heiyun Longjian!This is the founder of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the personal guard of Yang Xingmi in Huainan, and the foundation that laid the foundation for Yang Wu and Guozuo of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Shan Zhuer's fourth attack was beaten back. When he saw Zhang Zhao arrived, he blushed and knelt down on one knee in the bloody water.

"Saint, please give me another quarter of an hour, and I will surely defeat Wu Jun!"

Zhang Zhao waved his hand, "You have met Heiyun Longjian!
Unexpectedly, the [-] forbidden troops from Southern Wu came, and the real elite was here.The overall situation is settled, so don't let the soldiers bleed anymore. "

After speaking, Zhang Zhaoce immediately stepped forward and came to a place one hundred and fifty steps away from the Southern Tang Army. There were many soldiers guarding him with shields, and Zhang Zhao shouted immediately.

"But King Yang Zhongwu's personal attendant? Xu Zhigao stole the artifact, he is not the lord of Er, and now he is in a desperate situation, why don't he come down sooner?"

The Southern Tang army on the opposite side saw Zhang Zhao's golden helmet and armor, and probably guessed who it was, and the crowd suddenly became commotion.

Zhang Quanyue saw the excited expressions of the people on the left and right, and immediately shouted angrily.

"The salary of eating the king is to share the worries for the king, let alone today! Besides, my family and I are all in the south of the Yangtze River. Once we are taken captive to the Central Plains, when will we be able to return home?"

Marquis Chai Kehong of Duyu also wiped the blood from his face, and said loudly: "The governor Zhang is a noble man, and he is not afraid of life and death. Why should I cherish this body? I am willing to fight and die here with the governor."

Although Chai Kehong was only a Duke of Yu, he had a high prestige among the Imperial Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, especially the Longwu Army.

Coupled with the perennial wars in the Central Plains at this time, the law is chaotic, and food is scarce, it is really not a good choice to go to the Central Plains as a prisoner, and sometimes it is better to die in battle.

Therefore, as soon as Chai Kehong's voice fell, Duke Yuhou Zheng Zhaoye and others responded one after another.

Zhang Quanyue looked at Chai Kehong immediately, and Chai Kehong understood Zhang Quanyue's meaning in seconds, and immediately rode Zhang Quanyue's horse and rushed out of the battle, and inserted a white tiger banner, which symbolized a deadly battle, in front of the two armies.

Zhang Zhao's eyes turned cold. He originally thought that Heiyun Longjian was famous and wanted to let them live. Now that they don't appreciate it, let's fight!

snort!These people should also see that besides the Xiliang cavalry, Zhang Zhao also has the invincible Shenji Battalion.

The Zuo Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty still had 600 people at this time, and the army formation was still very organized, but they were squeezed by the Zhou army on the front, left, and right sides, and behind them was the surging Bianhe River, which could no longer move.

The infantry that had basically lost their mobility was the favorite target of the Shenji Battalion. With Zhang Zhao's order, the flying stones were like rain, and the stones were thrown like fists, pouring towards the Southern Tang army.

Zhang Quanyue and the others had no idea that Zhang Zhao still had the camel whirlwind cannon. This thing was too terrifying. No matter what kind of armor or shield you had, it was impossible to hold the polished fist-sized stones from the trebuchet.

In just a few breaths, amidst the creaking sound of the mechanism, the Nantang army screamed, and a huge vacancy was immediately smashed out.

Zhang Zhao waved the silver-white gold flag in his hand again. The white color is gold, which represents attack. There is a black tiger painted on this white flag, corresponding to Li Ruotai's [-] armored cavalry.

Li Ruotai had long been used to him finishing the final blow to the elite of the enemy, and when he saw Zhang Zhao's golden flag waving, he immediately asked the guards around him to blow their horns.

The [-] armored cavalry also rushed into the formation, and the arrows were the [-] most valiant armored cavalry. After they broke through the formation, the remaining [-] cavalry rushed into the enemy's formation to kill.

Without any suspense, while Zhou Junyu's armored cavalry was still trotting slowly, the Southern Tang army let out a desperate cry.

They had just been hit by a catapult, killing and injuring hundreds of people. The formation was already chaotic, and even Duke Yuhou Zheng Zhaoye was hit in the thigh and passed out.

They have no ability and no morale to resist.

In the desperation of the enemy, Li Ruotai personally supervised the army, and crashed into the panicked Southern Tang army.

Chai Kehong, who was known for his bravery, tried his best to resist, and even wanted to pull a Zhou Jun armored cavalry off his horse.

But none of the frightened soldiers responded to him, and the way of charging over the wall did not give much room for personal bravery.

He was directly knocked out by a tall horse and fell into the icy water.

At the end of the army formation, Zhang Quanyue cried out in pain when he saw such a complete defeat. Then he drew out the dagger from his waist and plunged it into his own neck, committing suicide and martyrdom.

The army of the Southern Tang Dynasty was officially wiped out.

　On October [-]st, I must save some manuscripts, and I will write and update them after the business trip, which is too painful.
