Late Tang

(Thanks for the monthly pass for nonsense_things, there are still no monthly passes, the last four hours are doubled, please support some of them!)

The sky is full of red clouds in the west, and blood is sprinkled on the city of Yucheng!

Hearing that Zhen [***] had actually come to kill him again, Wang Xianzhi sneered coldly: "I don't think Zhen [***] has superhuman powers, didn't he run away after being rushed by Brother Shang? Come on, let me see that not only are they not superhuman, but they also lack a muscle in their heads!"

"How many officers and soldiers have come?" Shang Jun frowned, the officers and soldiers had just been defeated, and they came again in a blink of an eye. This is a bit abnormal.

"About five thousand!" Tan Ma reported.

"Things are not quite right. Zhen [***] shouldn't be so ruthless, and it's even more impossible for Li Jing to commit such a refueling tactic. Brother, I think this may be a trap!" His brows were already frowning. Shang Junchang with a Sichuan word whispered to Wang Xianzhi.

Wang Xianzhi shook his head, "Is there any trap? We know that we are here to rescue Lao Cai, but the six disciples of Li Jing in Yucheng are still here. He will definitely come to rescue him."

"Kezhen [***] has 2 people, but it's obviously not right to send thousands of people up at a time."

"Li Jing has 2 horses, but he still has to guard Songzhou." Wang Xianzhi didn't want to listen to Shang Junchang's words, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't care about him, anyway, now that the brothers are here, Li Jing is really If we kill him, we are afraid that he will fail. Soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the earth, killing one is enough, and killing two we can earn one."

"People are dead, and I'm happy anyway." Several camp owners also shouted from the side.

The victory just now made these grass army leaders treat Zhen [***] as the Tianping Army and the Taining Army.Since you can defeat them once, you can defeat them a second time and a third time.

It was the first time for Wang Xianzhi to see his brothers being so united, and it had been a long time since he saw such a situation.He couldn't help but burst out laughing, full of relief, he laughed and said: "Okay, since the brothers all want to fight with Zhen [***], then let's fight him, and no one will retreat. I will personally lead everyone to fight." Go ahead!"

"Blessings are shared, hardships are shared, and heaven makes up for it!" All the leaders of the grass army raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

To the west of Yucheng, billowing smoke and dust rose, and before sunset, another reinforcement from the town of [***] arrived, this time more soldiers and horses, a total of 5000 people.

As the evening wind blew, the flag of the town [***] was rolled up and fluttered. Under the flag, five thousand warriors in scarlet shirts rolled forward.Zhou Dewei was wearing an ordinary sergeant's infantry leather armor, holding a flag gun in his hand, and seriously looked at the black sea of ​​people in the distance.

"Commander, the enemy's troops are at least [-], and there are also those auxiliary troops at least [-]!" Just looking at the smoke and dust, he can accurately judge the number of enemy troops. This is Zhou Dewei's unique skill, never before. No misses.

"What about their arrangement?" Li Jing, who was dressed as a team leader, also held a flag gun and asked.

"There are [-] infantry in total, but they are surrounded on all sides of Yucheng, and they are not concentrated. Moreover, among the infantry of the grass army, there are also a large number of auxiliary troops." Li Wei said with a sly look on his face. Smiling, let Li Jing know that the situation is very favorable for them. "The grass army has no skills at all in attacking the city. It just relies on a large number of people to surround and attack from all directions. They don't even have basic equipment. They have neither catapults nor ballistas. Archers are also limited. There are only simple ladders and battering ram, now they surround the city walls on all sides, but they haven't even filled up the ditch. So many soldiers and horses surrounded Yucheng in a mess, this is their only way, and it will be their fatal flaw. They still There are about [-] cavalry, Wang Xianzhi, Shang Junchang, and Shang Rang each have [-] cavalry."

"Not counting those auxiliary troops, the grass bandits have four times as many troops as we do," Zhou Congwei said.

"Wrong." Li Jing smiled, "There are still 3000 of us in Yucheng, and they are less than three times ours. Moreover, the grass bandits have been paralyzed by us now, and they are underestimating the enemy now. You see, they have not mobilized at all. How many people are coming to fight."

This time the [-] troops were led by Li Jing himself. Among them, [-] Songzhou soldiers were on the periphery, and the ones in the middle were the real town [***], and they were the elite of the town [***], respectively. Two elite infantry battalions were drawn from each of the three armies of the Tielin Army, the Yinqiang Xiaojie Army, and the Jinjiasheng Jie Army.

In the previous battle, Li Jing deliberately sent the Songzhou united soldiers with the weakest combat effectiveness to the field, but then they wore the armor of the town [***] and held the banner of the town [***].As expected by Li Jing, they returned in a big defeat.As soon as the Songzhou soldiers were defeated and returned, Li Jing immediately set off with the prepared soldiers and horses, leaving two thousand towns [***] to assist Zhang Rui in defending Songzhou, and Li Jing led the troops to fight in person.But this time, Li Jing did not play his own banner.

Not only that, the golden armor of the victory over the Czech army's golden armor, and the silver armor and silver guns of the Jiejun Army were also replaced with ordinary town [***] equipment. Li Jing didn't even bring a battalion of cavalry, and all the infantry also He didn't bring heavy crossbows, etc., and came all the way.

Right now, just as Li Jing expected, the grass army, who had gone through two battles with the auxiliary army and Songzhou soldiers, already thought that the town [***] was nothing more than that, and they didn't even have much preparedness for the arrival of another support soldier. , just mobilized eight phalanxes to line up, and barely formed a formation, while more soldiers and horses were still chaotically attacking the city.

The opportunity has come!

Li Jing got on his horse, Zhou Dewei rode beside him, and Li Wei held the team flag for Li Jing himself.

Putting on the helmet, putting down the visor, covering the familiar face, transformed into a tall and handsome young team leader sitting on a black horse.

"Close to them first, and when they approach the enemy underestimatingly, we will attack again and take the grass bandit's commander-in-chief flag." Li Jing looked at the grass army flag that was constantly moving forward, with contempt in the corner of his eyes Wang Xianzhi was nothing more than that, she was so frightened that she abandoned the city and fled overnight.But when he saw that there was a bargain to pick up, he rushed forward in person regardless of safety.He really complied with that sentence, cherish his life when he does big things, and forget his life when he sees small gains. Since he wants to take advantage of a small advantage, let him take advantage of it this time. As for the result, it depends on the character.

"The best result is that we can capture Wang Xianzhi alive, so the grass thieves will be in chaos. If the thieves can't get the head of the thieves, then capturing the flag will be very important. Once the grass thieves command the flag to fall, we will directly take advantage of the situation to kill those auxiliary troops, Driving them to scatter in all directions can stir up the entire chaos under Yucheng into a pot of porridge. Finally, remember not to leave Yucheng, don't love to fight, and enter Yucheng immediately after dispelling the enemy forces besieging the city. There is no plan for this battle. Five thousand soldiers wiped out the grass bandits."

woohoo woo...  

The horn sounded in the town [***], and the grass thief on the opposite side also sounded the horn.

On the endless plain, the grass army took the lead in charging.Nearly [-] infantry poured out from the front like a collapsing flood, rushing towards them.Zhen [***] was still advancing slowly, and while advancing, with the sound of war drums, the originally somewhat scattered formation began to gradually become orderly.

At the same time, the [-] cavalry of the grass army had started galloping from the two wings, and they were preparing to attack the two flanks of Zhen[***], and were ready to defeat Zhen[***] just like last time.

It's getting closer, the grass army is getting closer.

Seeing that the two sides were about to meet, Li Jing in the army waved his hand fiercely, and the twelve flag bearers, twelve drummers, and twelve trumpeters behind him gave orders at the same time.Drums, horns, and iron whistles sounded continuously, one after another.

Amidst the din, the grass army's infantry and cavalry crashed into the outer array of Zizhen[***] at almost the same time.The Songzhou soldiers arranged on the periphery were almost collapsed by this blow. Fortunately, there were elite guards at the core of the phalanx, which gave them countless confidence.

The two armies are mixed together!

Li Jing sneered, at this time the Cao army could no longer change formation.

He waved again, and the elites of Sanqian Town [***] of the Chinese army raised their cloaks one after another, and took out a handful of crossbows from under the cloak.The powerful crossbow bolts were fired in unison, and suddenly, there were continuous wails of people and horses in front of them.The 50 soldiers in the town [***] were divided into [-] queues with [-] people as a team.Each of them holds a crossbow, and there are fifteen teams on each side in four directions.It was further divided into three batches, and five teams fired crossbows at the same time in each direction. The first row is fine again.So again and again.

The entire array maintains a thousand crossbows firing at all times, and each side of the phalanx has 250 crossbows firing.

The crossbow is stronger than the arrow, although the continuous shooting speed is not as good as the arrow, but this time the three-stage shooting has reduced this weakness by a lot.Those arrogant grass troops who underestimated the enemy had rushed into the Songzhou army, and the two armies were completely mixed together.Facing the rainy attack of three thousand crossbowmen suddenly displayed by Zhen [***], they wanted to rush forward and retreat.Link array defense can't even do it!

"Datang! Datang! Datang!"

The voices of shouting to the Tang Dynasty sounded one after another in the Zhen [***] phalanx, shooting continuously, and after each person shot sixty crossbows, the eight thousand grass troops who came up were almost swept away by a hurricane, and they were already wolves. In one piece, they were in the rain of arrows all over the sky, and they couldn't avoid it.

When the sixty arrows were shot, the entire town [***] within a hundred steps of the phalanx was filled with crossbow arrows and white feathers filled the battlefield, as if suddenly heavy snow covered the plain.Under the snowfield paved with 18 crossbow arrows, more than a thousand grass army infantry were buried.

The arrows had been shot, and the soldiers of the town[***] held up the eight-foot spears one after another, revealing extremely sharp and cruel thorns, shouted loudly, and launched a thunderous impact forward.

For the elite soldiers and horses in the town of [***], a battalion of five people constitutes a large formation, a capital of one hundred constitutes a middle formation, 50 constitutes a small formation, nine constitutes a squadron, and three constitutes a squad, just like layers Layer upon layer of fish scales, each piece of fish scale finally formed a huge fish scale array, and then began to charge, they bloomed from the center, and killed in all directions.Under the setting sun like blood, blood flows into rivers and corpses pile up like mountains.

There are sounds of fighting everywhere on the battlefield, the sound of spears snapping, the sound of swords intersecting, the sound of war blades piercing into flesh, and Long Live the Tang Dynasty!Days make up for the average....shout.

And the trampling on the railway, the blood splashing from the leather boots, the slashing of the cowhide wooden shield with a horizontal knife, the clanging of iron armor, the whistling of bows and arrows, the thunder of war drums, and the desolation of horns...

Li Jing rode on a horse, holding a shield in one hand and a flag gun in the other, and shouted loudly: "Follow me, kill the general, and capture the flag!"

The few dozens of cavalry were like a sharp sword, tearing apart the team of grass bandits, rushing forward madly, and directly killed the huge banner of heavenly balance.Wang Xianzhi was already frightened at this time, he never thought that this was actually a conspiracy and a trap.He just wanted to get out of here quickly, out of this nightmare land.However, a cavalry team from the town [***] was chasing after him, and there were people and horses everywhere in front of him, so he couldn't move forward because of the crowd.

Seeing the cavalry chasing closer and closer, the soldiers and horses around them saw them dodging like the plague, and no one dared to step forward to fight.He wanted to find Shang Rang, wanted to call Bi Shiduo, Cao Shixiong, Liu Hanhong and others, but none of them were there.

"Capture the flag, capture the flag!"

The shouts got closer and closer, and Wang Xianzhi's face became more and more ugly, but he already knew that his handsome flag was now the guiding flag for officers and soldiers.Gritting his teeth, Wang Xianzhi ordered the banner soldiers to lead a group of people to go in another direction, while he grabbed a worn-out cloak worn by his own soldiers to gain the upper hand, and fled while lying low on his horse.

After running not far, he turned his head and looked back, only to see that the team of cavalry had caught up with his standard bearer.

After a burst of loud shouts, the high-flying sky-buying average flag fell down, and then he saw an officer knight with the flag draped over his body, galloping wildly on his horse, laughing loudly.

The sounds on the battlefield gradually weakened and finally subsided, leaving only the crows and wild dogs barking.The red clouds in the western sky faded, and night finally fell.

In addition to the dead bodies and howling wounded soldiers everywhere in Yucheng, there are only circling crows and red-eyed wild dogs left.

The city gate of Yucheng was opened again, and they had just met at the bottom of the city, swept away the auxiliary troops, and drove back Li Jing's reinforcements and Liu Xun's defenders who were trampling on each other.Li Jing was drenched in blood, his flag cavalry had already been broken, and was replaced with a horse captured on the battlefield, and the shield was chopped into pieces.Even the armor had several holes, but fortunately Li Jing wore double armor today, so he was safe.Li Jing's cloak went to nowhere, but what was tied on his shoulders at this time was the grass bandit Tianbuping average banner that was captured from the enemy army!

Gao Siji, Fu Cunshen, and Yang Shihou, who stayed in the city, went to the gate of the city to greet them, and the remaining auxiliary troops in the city also came to greet them.Seeing the bloody Marshal, they were shocked, and couldn't believe that the Marshal himself took the risk to come to the rescue.

Li Jing untied the big flag that served as a cloak on his body and threw it in front of him: "The flag of the Cao army was captured, but it was a pity that Wang Xianzhi escaped again. Is the food in the city ready? I rushed a way and fought again." After fighting for a long time, the brothers are also hungry."

Gao Siji and the others were very moved, and excitedly said: "Everything is ready, please enter the city, Commander."

Li Jing nodded and waved his hand: "Enter the city!" (To be continued.)
