First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 330 The Battle Is One-sided

...

When he approached the hundred paces, Kaohsiung thoughtfully handed over the bow and arrow.

Not far away, in front of the fence of the pass, there were only two Liao people leaning on the wooden fence and chatting. They looked very leisurely, but in fact they were very leisurely.

From their point of view, Baishi Cave is located in the middle of the dense forest, and its location is hidden. Few outsiders set foot in it. The fence at this pass is just a formality.

Gao Chong bent his bow and set an arrow, and was aiming at the Liao people in front of the fence. Suddenly, an exclamation sounded from the left. It doesn't matter anymore, even if you let go of the arrow.

The two Liao people were startled when they heard the yelling, they looked around, but before they could react, they were hit by an arrow in their chest and fell to the ground.

"Brothers, kill, it doesn't matter whether you live or die." Gao Chong rushed forward with a horizontal knife in his hand. kill.

That Liaoren was also shot into a hedgehog by dozens of arrows, and the high-speed man rushed through the dangerous pass without any effort, and went straight into the valley.

After the previous flanking Liao people gave a loud warning, the Liao people in the valley had already reacted. Adult men took out their weapons from the house and rushed towards the pass. out.

It has to be said that the reaction of the Liao people is still very fast, which may be related to their habit of fighting, but no matter how fast the reaction is, it is useless in the face of absolute power.

At a glance, Gao Chong is full of confidence and has no other, just because the equipment of the Liao people is too simple, only the formed Liao soldiers have the appearance of an army, but the weapons in their hands are also various. There are very few people wearing armor.

"Who are you?" Liao Bing quickly rushed forward, and the leader of the man held up a long and thin knife and scolded in Chinese: "This is Baishizhai, how did you come here?"

Although this man is the leader, he is very short in stature, speaks broken Chinese, and looks frightened and angry.

"I am Gao Chong, the pacification ambassador of the South Lingnan Road of the Tang Dynasty, and I am leading one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers to come. Why don't you wait for the bureaucrats to submit quickly?" Gao Chong laughed loudly.

"Tang people?" The leader of the Liaobing was startled, and then he asked viciously: "If you dare to come to Baishizhai to cause trouble, you are not afraid that our chief will kill you?"

"Extremely ridiculous", Gao Chong has lost his patience, obviously this group of Liao people who have never been out of the mountains of Guizhou has no self-knowledge at all, Yelang is arrogant, but this is the case, no wonder they rebelled again and again.

Since he is afraid of power but not virtue, then kill him to be afraid.

Gao Chong raised the horizontal knife, swung it down heavily, and ordered in a cold voice: "Those who dare to resist the heavenly soldiers will be killed without mercy."

As the voice fell, densely packed rockets were thrown straight forward from the left and right mountains, and the rockets ignited the thatched cottages in the valley. The old and weak women and children in the valley were terrified and fled in all directions.

The leader of the Liaobing was furious, and with a yell, he charged straight forward with knives in both hands, and the Liaobing behind him also rushed towards the group of "intruders" with angry faces.

Gao Chong took a look, raised the corners of his mouth, and ordered: "Arrange", with one order, the well-trained Tang army elite moved quickly, and the formation was neatly arranged, with swords and shields in front, and spearmen behind, quickly stepped forward With Gao Chong as the center, form a commonly used attack array and move forward.

On the other hand, the soldiers in front had no formation at all, and with only their blood and courage, they slammed into the formation.

The sword and shield soldiers of the Tang Army and the spearmen cooperated tacitly, and they each carried out their own tasks. They fought steadily against the oncoming Liao soldiers, advancing step by step, and the Liao soldiers suffered heavy casualties immediately.

Just imagine, you rushed forward with a knife and slashed, and Tang Jun's shield reached out, and he stretched out his horizontal knife to slash. This time, many soldiers could not hold on, even if there were occasional soldiers with quick reactions. Soon, a long spear or spear was poked out from the gap, and it was impossible to guard against.

Gao Chong looked at Kaohsiung who was eager to try and said with a smile: "Go if you want, I have no interest in this kind of opponent."

Kaohsiung followed Song Laosheng to learn the simple and direct way of killing people with one hand, and he likes to fight with a horizontal knife most.

Song Lao was born at the end of Wei Dynasty, and was promoted step by step from a soldier due to his merits. His unpretentious killing skills were honed in the melee.

This melee sword technique may not be suitable for cavalry warfare in the north, but it is suitable for this kind of mountainous infantry combat. To be precise, it is hand-to-hand combat. In fact, Song Laosheng has also experienced many times in suppressing bandits A generation of famous generals who came out.

Kaohsiung was very moved when he heard the words, but he just shook his head, and just stood by Gao Chong's side, "I am Lang Jun's personal guard, I can't leave."

Although Gao Xiong wanted to participate in the battle, he was more aware of his duties as a bodyguard.

After the words fell, Gao Xiong stared at a group of people not far away, and exclaimed: "Look at that place, Mr. Lang, he must want to break through...".

"Don't move, let them go." Gao Chong immediately reached out to stop them with a smile on his face.

"If they don't escape, how can Li Guangdu send troops? It's almost enough, pass the order, and those who surrender will not be killed."

The infantry led by Gao Chong were all strong men carefully selected by Li Xiaogong, they might not be able to match Hu Yi's cavalry.

But now that they are well-equipped and fighting on foot, how can the short and thin Liaoren be an opponent? Although the Liaoren are flexible in stature, they are also vulnerable to the advance of the army.

After all, the regular army is a regular army, and their fighting skills and fighting will are far beyond what these arrogant mountain people can match.

Those who dared to rebel in the past, one was that they did not recognize their own strength, and the other was that they believed that they were in the dense forest and deep mountains, and the officers and soldiers could not enter.

But now that the Tang Army, under the leadership of Wang Wu as a guide, directly assaulted its lair, the result of the battle is naturally needless to say.

Anyway, surrender is not once or twice. For Southwest Liao Yiyue and others, if they can fight well, they will separate the prefectures and counties and become kings. Surrender.

At worst, I will rebel after your officers and soldiers have left. This is their inherent thinking. The people never show affection.

Of course, there are very few sober people like Feng An. In Feng An's view, why not sincerely submit to the Central Plains imperial court in the remote and barren land of Lingnan, and strive for tax exemption and corvee relief. In addition, you can ask for imperial funding, such as farming tools. And advanced technical culture, why not do it.

What's more, even if he belongs to the Central Plains court, his Feng family's status in Lingnan will not change. He will still be treated as the "Emperor of the Earth" who "rules the king and dominates the hegemony".

Desire for profit, after all, there are very few sober people, especially in troubled times, people like Li Guangdu will think in their hearts: Di people and Jie people can be called emperors, how can we Liao people not?
