Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 469

Chapter [-]
Chen Ying's spirit was very poor, there was nothing he could do.The entire Beimang camp of 5 horses is now an empty frame, with low morale and a battalion full of wounded soldiers. In addition to the [-] personal guards of the king of Qi and [-] trilogy, the only ones who can fight again are the [-] hooked spear cavalry.Although Qi Wang Li Yuanji had more than [-] fresh troops under his command, how could Chen Ying dare to pin his hopes on Li Yuanji.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are now in conflict. If Li Yuanji took the opportunity to release water and kill people with a knife, and Li Shimin would suffer, the [-] wounded soldiers in the battalion would not end well.

But what is more tragic is that with the [-] horses of the Sickle and Lancer cavalry, there is no way to get a thousand horses. There is no way. In order to rescue the defeated Tang army generals, the consequences of Chen Ying's relentless horsepower began to appear.More than one-third of the horses were directly exhausted and became the main source of nutrition for the wounded soldiers. More than two thousand horses had run away and were unable to adapt to the battlefield in the future. The last time of the rest of my life.

It would be a lie to say that Chen Ying was not saddened by the miserable scene of the hooked and sickle cavalry.But even though he was heartbroken, Chen Ying did not regret it. After all, it was because of his persistence, because he overcame all difficulties, and finally defended the Beiman camp. If the Beiman camp was lost, it would be a fatal blow to the Tang army.

"Chen Lang, go and rest!" Li Xiuning walked behind Chen Ying, seeing Chen Ying's tired face, Li Xiuning said with pity: "I'm watching here, you can rest assured and go to sleep!"

"I can't sleep!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Now the Hooked Spearmen can still bluff people, but once... the consequences will be disastrous!"

Li Xiuning frowned: "I don't know when Father will send reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements, don't even think about it!" Chen Ying sighed, "We can't wait for reinforcements!"

"Why?" Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying with flickering eyes, and said suspiciously: "Almost all the soldiers and horses are here near Chang'an, but in Bashu, Yuanzhou, Jingzhou, Lingzhou, and Hexi, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Tang Dynasty. The army..."

"Far water can't quench near thirst!" Chen Yingyan said insincerely.

In fact, according to historical records, Li Shimin stormed Luoyang for ten days, and Dou Jiande led an army of 30 to march westward. When he declared [-] to the outside world, Li Yuan became cowardly. He sent Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and Feng De successively. Yi took three decrees to withdraw troops and asked Li Shimin to withdraw his troops.It was Li Shimin who withstood the pressure because he refused to give orders to his generals abroad, and led his partial division to guard Hulao Pass, and fought against Dou Jiande's army for more than a month.

However, Chen Ying was not Qin Wang Li Shimin after all, he was thinking, if Li Yuan ordered to retreat at this time, how would Li Shimin make a decision?
As soon as the weather turned fine, Zheng Jun's scout cavalry appeared outside the Beiman camp, but as soon as Tang Jun's hook and sickle cavalry appeared, these Zheng Jun scouts would turn around and run away.

However, just after noon, a hundred thousand Zheng troops slowly approached outside the Beiman camp of the Tang army.

Looking at this scene, Li Shimin became worried, and Chen Ying's heart was also twisted into a ball.

If it weren't for the fact that almost all the horses of the cavalry with hooks and spears were useless, they really couldn't produce enough horses. As for Wang Shichong's army of [-], Chen Ying would really not be afraid of him.

However, what is embarrassing about the current situation is that Chen Ying's hook and sickle cavalry have no strength to fight again.

Li Xiuning said coldly: "Old man Wang Shichong is going to kill them all!"

Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Princess Pingyang doesn't know something, and is ruthless. This is Wang Shichong's behavior style. He can't get along with Kuan Ren. Especially him..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Zhijie subconsciously closed his pursuit. Wang Shichong killed Yang Yu, but Li Yuan also killed 15-year-old Yang You.Although the history books record that Yang You died of illness, and Li Yuan also claimed that Yang You died of illness, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yang You's death must be related to Li Yuan.

……

On the watchtower of Zheng Jun's central army, Wang Shichong saw Zheng Jun riding up and down like a tiger in fear of hooks and sickles, and couldn't help frowning: "These lancers are really hard to fight!"

"It's just a battle of trapped beasts, it's not a big deal." Zhu Can cast his eyes on the edge of the battlefield to gather hooked and sickle cavalry and asked, "Should we let Heluo's new army join the battle and make a quick decision?"

The Heluo New Army was an army urgently armed by Wang Shichong after the defeat of Li Shimin by using the troops of the Tang army and generals such as Tian Zan and Zhang Zhenzhou, using weapons seized from the battlefield. The Heluo New Army consisted of three The ten Yingyang mansions are led by thirty Yingyang generals and sixty Yingjilang generals.This army directly belonged to Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong was worried about other generals, so he handed over the command of the army to Wang Xuanshu and Wang Renze.

Wang Shichong snorted: "Even if I want them to participate in the battle, I'm afraid those rams will not agree. Their training time is too short to be of great use."

Zhu Can said: "Although this is the case, it is not an option to stay in a stalemate. In my old Zhu's opinion, it is better to let the Heluo New Army attack. As for the result, your Majesty does not need to care. If there is no one, you can wait for the last general to go. Jing Xiang caught..."

Wang Shichong still hesitated.To put it bluntly, he really wanted to capture and kill Li Shimin and Chen Ying, and he also wanted to leave the credit for killing the generals to Wang Xuanshu and Wang Renze, but Wang Renze was better, and the fifteen eagles under his command in the Heluo New Army The Yang Mansion already looked like it, but Wang Xuanshu was too disappointing. He couldn't even form a formation for so long. Once such an army was placed on the battlefield, the chance of mutiny far exceeded the chance of defeating the enemy, which is the most annoying What's more, the Tang army just suffered a big defeat, and almost the whole army was wiped out. Neither Wang Xuanshu nor Wang Renze dared to face Chen Ying!
Zhu Can's eyes flashed with hostility, and he stared at the formation of the hooked and sickle cavalry: "Yeah, I don't believe in evil. The ground is so muddy now that their horses can't run. Yea, I don't believe that they can run and bite!" Yea, pass on this king's decree to order Zhang Xianwu's troops from the former battalion to attack!"

Zhang Xianwu was a general under Zhu Can's command. He was originally a butcher.But in the past, Zhang Xianwu killed pigs and sheep, but now he is killing people.

When the horn sounded, more than [-] pikemen under Zhang Xianwu's command lined up in a dense formation and launched an attack on the Beimanshan camp.At the beginning, the more than [-] spearmen were in a strict formation, neatly lined up, and looked similar.

However, when these Zheng Army spearmen rushed to the halfway up the mountain, the formation became loose and chaotic.

Looking at this scene, Chen Ying said with a sigh of relief: "The row is so sparse, and you still imagine victory in a single battle? Go ahead and dream!"

Luo Shixin yawned: "I will teach them how to be human... This charge is not firm at all, the speed is slow enough, what a joke!"

When Zheng Jun's spearmen rushed into the Beimang camp, Luo Shixin hadn't had time to go out.A white war horse rushed out of the camp, and a general in silver armor sat on the white horse. This general was none other than Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

The three brothers Li Jiancheng fought openly and secretly.Seeing Li Shimin's defeat now, Li Yuanji was about to sweep Li Shimin's face fiercely. When he saw the formation of Zheng Jun's spearmen in chaos, Li Yuanji led five hundred bodyguard cavalry to meet Zheng Jun's spearmen.Li Xiuning frowned and said, "San Humo wants to mess around!"

Chen Ying stretched out his hand to hold Li Xiuning's arm and said, "Sanniang, don't worry, His Royal Highness King Qi will surely win."

Sure enough, it was within the range of the bows and arrows of Li Yuanji's personal guard cavalry. With the sound of a whimpering battle horn, the personal guard cavalry under Li Yuanji drew their bows and threw arrows at Zheng Jun's spearmen. Rain, five hundred Qi Wang's personal guards caught Zheng Jun's spearmen and shot them fiercely.

The armor of the heavy infantry under Zhu Can's command is not bad, and can withstand direct hits from crossbows. However, this forward battalion, to put it bluntly, is the professional cannon fodder unit under Zhu Can's command, which is used to attract the enemy's bows or traps , except for a few generals, not to mention iron armor, even leather armor is less than [-]%.Facing the rain of arrows shot, it is basically where to shoot and where to wear.What made people vomit blood the most was that the tension of the horned bow arms of King Qi's personal guards was weak, but the rate of fire was super fast. In just a quarter of an hour, five hundred guard cavalrymen shot tens of thousands of arrows at Zhang Xianwu's formation.

Zheng Jun's spearmen turned on their backs, and the spear forest charge that was supposed to have no return collapsed all of a sudden.Zhang Xianwu roared loudly, waving a horizontal knife and threatening to cut down those spearmen who dared not rush forward.But even if the morale of the spearmen was frustrated, no matter how threatened Zhang Xianwu was, it would be useless.

Li Yuanji saw that the Zheng army's spearmen collapsed after shooting randomly. Seeing that the cavalry of King Qi's personal guard had withstood the impact of the Zheng army's spearmen, their morale was greatly boosted, and they launched a desperate charge. , Actually killed Zhang Xianwu's troops back again and again!

Wang Shichong shook his head helplessly and said: "The soldiers of the Li family are really tough enough, even at this level, they are still so brave!!"

But at this moment, Zhu Can burst into laughter. While laughing wildly, Zhu Can pointed to the battlefield for Wang Shichong to watch.

Wang Shichong looked in the direction of Zhu Can's finger, and saw the cavalry of the Tang Army who were chasing and killing the spearmen of the Zheng Army.

Zhu Can explained: "Your Majesty, as you can see, the ground is now muddy and slippery. If you are not careful, you will fall off the horse."

Wang Shichong was overjoyed when he heard the words: "God bless Zheng Zheng!"

"Also..." Zhu Can said again: "Please look, Your Majesty, these cavalry are only bow cavalry of the Tang army, not cavalry with weird spears!"

"That's right!" Wang Shichong nodded and said, "Could it be?"

Wang Shiyun said: "I asked that day that the 2000 cavalry under Chen Ying's command ran from Longmen to Beimang, and there were already less than [-] of them. Thinking of the way they ran from Xin'an to Luoyang and then to Longmen, it would take at least two hundred miles. In order to save Li Shimin's son, Chen Ying ran for more than [-] miles without hesitation, even the best horse would be ruined by him."

"Abandoned?" Wang Shichong was ecstatic: "It's good to be abandoned!"

However, Wang Shichong changed his mind and said again: "I heard that Chen Ying'er is good at trickery, could this be his trick?"

A solemn look appeared on Wang Shiyun's face and said: "It's really possible!"

"Hmph, is it a trick!" Zhu Can said with a disapproving smile, "You'll know if you try it!"

"Try!" Wang Shichong is actually having a headache now. Li Shimin was defeated, but the remnants were unable to attack for a long time. This is equivalent to a top-notch beauty with a scar on her face, which is really ugly.Besides, Wang Shichong still has another worry. Now Dou Jiande has sent troops.

Dou Jiande personally led hundreds of thousands of troops all the way to the west in a disfigured way. Once Dou Jiande sees that Wang Shichong can't even deal with Li Shimin's defeated generals, it is difficult to guarantee that Dou Jiande will be malicious.Wang Shichong said: "Then try!"

At the time when Zhu Can had the largest number of troops, there were more than 20. Except for the [-] direct descendants and [-] troops who were more capable of fighting, the others were all brought in to fill in the heads.This is the cannon fodder unit, and what Zhu Can is best at is using cannon fodder to fight.

It is to issue a long spear or a wooden spear to the people, and then force the soldiers to charge. Even if they besiege a small city with no more than a thousand defenders, Zhu Can will use tens of thousands of horses when attacking, and tens of thousands of horses will be in order. Flat laying, densely swarming up, you can be exhausted if you can't be beaten to death.

In fact, from Jiaodong to Jingxiang, Zhu Can used this tactic, and there was never a city or general he couldn't defeat.

Although it was just a test, Zhu Can's handwriting was not small.

Li Shimin stood on the watchtower and looked at it. At this time, his vision was wide, and he saw Zheng Jun making three front and back.Like three layers of waves, advancing layer by layer, the first layer has about 5000 troops, mainly long soldiers, assisted by archers.There are about [-] people on the second floor, but they are cavalry. The third floor has about [-] people, mainly sword and shield soldiers. There are hundreds of steps between each floor.

Li Shimin is well aware of the reality of the Beiman camp. At this time, the Zheng army is stronger than the last time it surrounded Luoyang City. He is worried that this is not Wang Shichong's temptation, and he is going to give Wang Shichong a falsehood. Zheng Jun attacked the Beiman camp, and did not wait for Li Shimin to give an order, so don't rush to fight.

At this moment, Chen Ying had led more than [-] cavalry with hooks and guns, and rushed to the forward of Zheng Jun.

Although the ground was muddy and slippery, the horses were prone to slipping, and Chen Ying didn't want to fight at this time, but there was nothing he could do.It was impossible for the enemy to act according to their own will. Instead, they seized the time to attack when the horses could not speed up.

More than [-] hooked and sickle cavalry carefully slowed down their horses. At this time, the speed of the cavalry was not much faster than the normal infantry marching speed.

Seeing Chen Ying being so careful, Zhu Can was overjoyed and thought to himself that he had made the right bet.

It was not Chen Ying's hooked and sickle cavalry who took the lead in fighting Zhu Can, but the personal guard cavalry of Qi Wang Li Yuanji.Zhu Can rode a war horse and waved a one-horned bronze figurine, obliquely inserting into Li Yuanji's formation from the left front.

"Revenge, shame—"

Zhu Can roared angrily, and clashed left and right in Li Yuanji's pro-army formation, and no one could take over. Li Yuanji's army was divided into two, and the cavalry around Li Yuanji could still hold on, while the other army was in disarray——

A real strong team is good at both winning and losing. The so-called good at losing means that they can deal with unfavorable situations without being surprised.Although Qi Wang Li Yuanji's personal guards are well equipped and physically fit, there is a weakness that cannot be made up for, that is, Li Yuanji's personal guards have never fought a bad battle, and the Tang army has the upper hand, so his personal guards are also everyone Be courageous, and this time you will be easily frustrated when you encounter a strong enemy.Once this flaw appeared, the situation became even more dangerous.

In just one face-to-face encounter, Li Yuanji's separated army of about [-] riders, like butter meeting boiling oil, disappeared into Zheng's formation in an instant without causing a wave.

"Zhu Can, fourth master is fighting with you!" Li Yuanji also aroused his blood and bravery. He waved his horse and rushed towards Zhu Can.

At this time, more than [-] cavalry from the second tier following Zhu Can gradually covered up, but this tier of cavalry was not in a hurry to enter the battlefield, but spread out and gradually formed an arc. It is clear that they are going to surround them, intending to wipe out Li Yuanji's personal guards.

When Chen Ying saw the situation, he became anxious.Once Li Yuanji died in front of his eyes, Li Xiuning might not forgive him either.Chen Ying had no choice but to stop holding back, and ordered: "Hook sickle and spear, the whole army assaults, let this general run over these idiots to death!"
