Dajin royal family

Chapter 347 Defeating Zhang Shichen
Crossing the Gengshui River, ten miles away is Wuzhong Mountain, and there is a small town at the foot of the mountain, named Wuzhong Town.

Five miles southwest of Wuzhong Town is Yuyang.

It is rumored that the Lu family stored [-] shi of grain in Wuzhong Town.

"In front is Wuzhong Mountain. Last year Lu Mingyue raised an army of 5000 to rebel here. Unfortunately, King Liang beat the shit out of him with only [-] men."

Zhang Shichen rode on the horse, pointing his whip at the majestic mountain in front of him.

Heihu grabbed the horse's mane and said disapprovingly, "Brother, don't let other people's ambition destroy your prestige. In my opinion, this Liang Wang is just an embroidered pillow, no different from those cowardly soldiers in Yuyang County."

Hearing this, Zhang Shichen glared and cursed, "Stop talking nonsense!"

His original intention of talking about this was not to publicize how powerful King Liang is, but to warn his soldiers and generals to be careful not to underestimate the enemy.

After being reprimanded by Zhang Shichen, Heihu's face turned awkward, but he made up his mind in his heart that he must show his elder brother that this so-called king of Liang is nothing more than mediocrity.

According to the information obtained by Heihu in advance, Zhang Shichen led more than 7 people to rush directly to Wuzhong Town.

The guard of Wuzhong Town is Xue Li, who used to be a captain of the heavy cavalry, but because Jiang Chengxiao just got the heavy cavalry armor and had not had time to form a heavy cavalry battalion, so he temporarily served as the light cavalry general of the Black Eagle Army.

"General, five miles ahead, a group of violent bandits is coming. Seeing that they are flying the Yan character flag, they should be Zhang Shichen's department." The scout came to report.

A cold light flashed in Xue Li's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "It's finally here, I can't wait."

"Pass the order down, quickly tell His Highness and General Pei the news, the Vanguard Battalion will follow me to fight!"

"Yes!"

Xue Li led [-] vanguard troops of the Black Eagle Army to the battlefield and confronted Zhang Shichen's troops.

"Brother, there are not as many people on the other side as us, let's kill them." Hei Hu heard the news of the enemy from the scouts and encouraged Zhang Shichen to send troops.

Zhang Shichen was not in a hurry, but instead asked: "Can you see what banner the opponent is playing?"

The scout thought for a while and said, "It looks like a silver eagle flag on a black background."

"The silver eagle flag with a black background?" Zhang Shichen was taken aback, "Isn't it the green eagle flag with a black background?"

The scout shook his head, "No, the opponent's flag has a silver edge, and the subordinates can see it clearly."

Heihu on the side listened very impatiently.

"What's black and white, I can chop it with an axe."

"Shut up!" Zhang Shichen interrupted Heihu, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"The one with the silver border is the handsome flag of King Liang."

On the other side, Xue Li squeezed the horse in his hand, and under the helmet was a pair of eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Give the order, the cavalry will form a single strand, and kill the enemy!"

The three thousand cavalry were ordered to follow Xue Li and charged towards the enemy's formation. They were like an awl piercing the enemy's abdomen.

The two armies were at war, and the Black Eagle Army faced the army composed of refugees and killed them indiscriminately, from the beginning to the end.

The Black Eagle Army is not a county soldier. Although this army is not as numerous and famous as the Qingying Army, they are definitely synonymous with cruelty.

Because whether it was the grassland massacre or the massacre to suppress the Goguryeo rebellion, it was all done by the Black Eagle Army.

Moreover, all of their cavalry had fought against the grassland tribes on the grassland all year round. Facing the poorly equipped riot bandits, their combat power was not something the riot bandits could resist.

Three thousand against seventy thousand, logically speaking, it should be a battle without any suspense.

However, the development of things is often beyond people's expectations.

When the vanguard of the Yanshan Bandits was beheaded by the Black Eagle Army, fear arose in the hearts of the people behind.

These Yanshan violent bandits used to bully soldiers from Yuyang County or other violent bandits. They were essentially a group of refugees and had no relevant military training at all.

What do they use to fight against the well-equipped and experienced Black Hawk army?

Watching the Black Eagle Army sweeping towards them, the Yanshan bandits who were afraid of death finally started to run away. They didn't want to rebel when they became bandits, they just wanted a bite to eat.

But now that his life is threatened, he must have escaped for his life!
The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest.

One person fled, leading hundreds of people around him to retreat.

The more they retreated, the harder the Black Hawk army killed.

The concept of "captives" basically did not exist in the minds of the Black Eagle Army. What they used to do was to slaughter clans and families.

However, Zhang Shichen's subordinates were not all idiots. Although there was a small-scale fleeing wave, a considerable number of them still began to integrate their formations and launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Black Eagle Army.

After fighting for half an hour, Zhang Shichen finally delayed Xue Li's actions with numbers, and the two sides were forced into an anxious battle.

"This Xue Li, his reckless temper has not changed. Do you think my Black Eagle Army is a heavy cavalry? You are really an idiot when you are deeply trapped in the enemy's line."

In the distance, a handsome flag stands upright, with a big word "Jiang" written on it.

Under the banner are the remaining elite Black Eagle Army, Jiang Chengxiao is riding on the horse, looking into the distance.

He couldn't see it very clearly, because the distance was a bit far, and he could barely see the flag of the Black Eagle Army surrounded by Zhang Shichen.

"General Pei, the Black Eagle Army is all elite and cannot be damaged. Go ahead."

"Yes."

Pei Yuanyan raised his horse aloft and shouted: "The three armies attack with me!"

The drums of war were thundering, and the Black Eagle Army came out in full force, killing Zhang Shichen like a black wind.

Jiang Chengxiao touched his chin, turned his horse's head and came to a slightly higher hillside.

What you can see here is not very real, after all, human eyesight still has a limit.

"Ji Yun, last time I asked you to send a letter to Shan Hui, did you find what you asked him to look for?"

Nan Jiyun said: "Reporting to the lord, he said that he has some clues, but people in the Western Regions say that things like binoculars are unheard of, so they can only ask the far west."

"That's true." Jiang Chengxiao nodded.

He just hoped that things like telescopes would appear.After all, this era does not exist in history.

So, maybe the telescope may also appear in advance?

Turning his mind around, Jiang Chengxiao looked at the battlefield again.

As Pei Yuanyan led his troops to join, the situation was reversed, and the Black Eagle Army should cooperate inside and outside to break Zhang Shichen's blockade and start fighting again.

At this time, Zhang Shichen also had to order a retreat.

Well-trained soldiers cooperate tacitly in battle, and they can rest assured that they will leave their backs to their brothers and kill the enemy without hesitation.

The Black Eagle Army is like this, basically a small team of four, covering each other, and then advance together with the large army.

The [-] cavalry charged, and the momentum and sound alone were enough to break the heart of the weak-willed bandit.

"Thief, take a certain move!"

The hooves of the war horse soared into the air, and Pei Yuanyan raised the horse's lance aloft, and swung it fiercely at the bloody black tiger.

This person, Pei Yuanyan, had noticed early on. He was the least afraid of death among the gangsters. Such a person must die!
Heihu laughed loudly, and struck back with the axe.

Pfft!

The bright red blood bloomed, a large head crossed a parabola in the air and fell into the crowd, and was immediately trampled by countless war horses.

"Heihu!" Zhang Shichen's heart was broken. Although Heihu was a bit generous, his loyalty and combat power were nothing to say.

"My lord, let's go!"

The loyal guards around protected Zhang Shichen and retreated quickly.

What followed was a chase and massacre.

In this battle, the Black Eagle Army defeated Zhang Shichen and killed more than [-] enemies.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Jiang Chengxiao looked at the small flag planted on Yanshan Mountain, reached out and pulled it out, and put it into the wooden box.

"Your Highness, Zhang Shichen still has a lot of people, and the Yanshan Bandits have not been resolved yet." Nan Jiyun was a little puzzled why the lord pulled up Zhang Shichen's banner in such a way.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled faintly, "General Yuchi is already waiting for Zhang Shichen."

Hearing this, Nan Jiyun immediately understood.

"My lord is wise."

"However, although Zhang Shichen's department has been resolved, there are still many violent bandits hiding in Yanshan Mountain. It's time to meet with Wen Daya and talk about appeasing the people."

At this moment, Pei Yuanyan and Xue Li, who were chasing him, came back.

"At the end, I will see Your Highness."

Jiang Chengxiao didn't look at the two of them, he only said a word, and then there was no further text.

"General Pei, get up, go down and wash your face, and have a good rest, you have worked hard."

Pei Yuanyan stood up, glanced at Xue Li who was half kneeling, and had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out, nor dared to intercede.

"Yes, I will retire at the end."

After Pei Yuanyan left, Jiang Chengxiao didn't speak to Xue Li either, and he was still looking at the sand table in various counties in Hebei, wondering what he was thinking.

Xue Li, on the other hand, knelt without saying a word.
