Late Tang

Wang Xianzhi didn't make up his mind for a long time, and wanted to go forward to face the cavalry of the officer army.During this hesitation, Zhuge Shuang had already led [-] cavalry to gallop, and quickly galloped past them.

The officers and soldiers did not take the initiative to attack them, they rushed past Wang Xianzhi's five thousand cavalry, and directly cut into the phalanx of fifteen thousand auxiliary soldiers behind the cavalry.

Before Wang Xianzhi and others could react, the phalanx of auxiliary soldiers behind the cavalry on the right wing of the Cao Army had been trampled down by the light cavalry led by Zhuge Shuang.In front of the three thousand elite cavalry of the Tang army, those right-wing auxiliary soldiers who had just been recruited from the refugees, held only a sharpened wooden stick in their hands, and did not even have an officer in command, panicked as soon as they were attacked Scattered and fled in fear.

Tang Qi chased after the victory, ignoring the fleeing auxiliary soldiers, but charged straight forward.Zhuge Shuang's general flag was flying high in front, and three thousand cavalry were rolling forward like a hurricane.The three brothers Zhu and Wen followed closely behind the flag of Mu Anguo, the leader of the vanguard of their troops, holding a lance, and galloping with their bodies bent down.The grass thief standing in front of them was almost unbearable.Zhu Wen also fought against the grass bandits a few times when he was in Yucheng. Although the grass bandits were poorly equipped, they were quite tenacious in fighting. But today, the grass bandits in front of them seemed to have completely changed their army and had no fighting spirit.

Especially the cavalry group of as many as 5000 on the right wing, just watched them rush past and cut into the auxiliary formation behind, without coming to intercept or half-chasing.

Tang Qi was inexplicably surprised, this group of grass thieves were already frightened!

Thinking that they would be able to directly enter the Chinese army immediately, capture the flag and return it, the entire Tang cavalry team burst out with huge combat effectiveness.

"Datang! Datang! Datang!"

"Datang! Datang! Datang!"

The shouts and roars came and went, and the connection continued!

Three thousand Tang cavalry rampaged, as if entering the land of no one, and those who stood in their way would wear clothes.They rushed forward, and the auxiliary soldiers in front of them retreated like a landslide.

The [-] auxiliary soldiers had neither fighting sounds nor equipment. Not long ago, they were just a group of hungry people who could not eat enough, and each of them was weak.Thirty recruits from the auxiliary barracks couldn't stop Tang Qi's unstoppable cut in, and they were not willing to use their fragile flesh and blood to stop the row of thousands of horses galloping like mountains and seas.

The cavalrymen of the Tang army laughed wildly, and some of them didn't bother to withdraw their cavalry spears after stabbing them out. They drew their swords and slashed fiercely. The arrows of their sagittal charge formations had penetrated deeply through the right wing and cut into the grass army's central army.

However, Zhuge Shuang encountered a fierce counterattack in the Chinese army, and after the attack was blocked, Zhuge Shuang also tried it out.In the middle army of the grass bandit, a large number of soldiers and horses of the old battalion of the grass bandit were deployed. These soldiers were many times stronger than the previous right wing.

The cavalry's offensive was gradually contained. Zhu Wen raised a knife and slashed left and right. After cutting down several grass thieves who were approaching with spears, he galloped to his boss Mu Anguo and said loudly: "General, the Chinese army is blocked. The momentum of the cavalry has been contained."

Mu Anguo gasped for breath, and said in a bad mood: "Of course I know this, so I need you to say it!"

"General, if the Chinese army can't kill it, we can turn around and kill the rear army. The rear army of grass bandits is all auxiliary soldiers, and they can make meritorious deeds!" Zhu Wen put forward his opinion.

Mu Anguo was a little undecided. Their current position was at the junction of the Central Army, the Rear Army, and the Right Wing.The right wing was not defeated just now, they just cut in, and now there are a total of 3000 grass bandit cavalry on the right wing, and countless scattered auxiliary soldiers.The army that entered the center was blocked. If the right wing encircled and blocked the retreat, the [-] of them might be surrounded and swallowed by grass thieves.

"Why don't you go back the same way and kill the rear army?" Mu Anguo asked.

"Returning at this time is a failure of the division. Moreover, although the right-wing cavalry did not intercept us just now, maybe they were too late to react. But when we return now, the right-wing cavalry may intercept us. At that time, the bandits in the middle will bite us. Let's stop. It's better to point directly at the rear army, the rear army is the enemy's auxiliary soldiers, as long as they can get into the rear army, there is a chance to cause chaos in the enemy army." Zhu Wen expressed his thoughts.

Mu Anguo thought for a while, and quickly sent messengers to find Zhuge Shuang, and told Zhuge Shuang about the plan.

The forward of the cavalry, Tang Qi's charge had to come to a halt under the blocking of the spears and shields of the Huang Chao Chinese Army and the rain of arrows.Originally, the bandit army would put the main force in the front army, and the bandit army could be caught off guard from the right flank, but unexpectedly, Huang Chao was so heavily guarded.Although the right wing successfully broke through, the Chinese army had already taken precautions.

Hearing the proposal conveyed by the messenger sent by Mu Anguo, he only thought about it for a while before agreeing to the plan.

The order to turn around and kill the rear army came out quickly, and the Xuanwu army, which was originally in the rear of the cavalry, immediately became the forward.The Qianfeng Battalion and the Second Youyi Battalion immediately turned around, acting as arrows, and immediately turned around to kill the rear army.

Holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, the three brothers Zhu and Wen acted as arrows and rushed towards the back of the Cao army.Tang Qi, who turned around, accelerated again, as if a red-hot iron drill directly cut into the frozen butter.Under their charge, the grass army auxiliary soldiers of the rear army fell row after row, just like the autumn wheat waves being harvested by farmers.

A cavalry messenger flies to the right wing.

"Report to Dutong, Deputy Huang Dutong's emergency military order, ordering the right-wing Dutong's headquarters to quickly dispatch troops to kill the [-] cavalry who rushed into the rear formation. This order is extremely urgent!"

Wang Xianzhi remained silent, and Shang Junchang and the others looked unhappy.

"Why didn't Huang Chao transfer his Chinese troops to strangle Tang Qi?" Someone said dissatisfied.

Before they could make a decision, the Tang army suddenly blared their drums on the battlefield, and a passionate roar rang out. Then, in front of their right wing, a faint black line suddenly appeared, accompanied by the faint and muffled sound of thunder coming from the sky.

Wang Xianzhi and the others changed their colors one after another, they recognized that it was the sound of a large horseshoe.The shadow became more and more clear, bigger and bigger, expanding rapidly, and it was already clearly seen.This is a newly transferred army, numbering in the tens of thousands.

The cavalry rushing forward at a high speed numbered more than [-] at the forefront.

Behind the cavalry, there are countless black infantry running towards them.

For a while, Wang Xianzhi and all the generals under his command were disturbed.It is very obvious that Tang Jun's coach has very sharp eyesight.The previous cavalry broke through the right wing unexpectedly, and after cutting into the central army, the coach of the Tang army had already made the right wing a breakthrough point.

The former army of the grass bandit was surrounded by the Yanyue formation of the Tang army, and entangled with the former army of the Tang army.Right now, Tang Jun transferred most of the troops to the left wing to attack their right wing, and the grass bandits couldn't react in time.What's more important is that Wang Xianzhi is hesitant now. He is worried that the Cao army will be defeated after the Tang army breaks through the right wing.But at the same time, he was more worried that after he led the army to rush up, his last soldiers and horses would be wiped out.

"General, look quickly, it's the banner of the town [***]! It's Li Jing, and Li Jing brought the town [***] to kill!" A Tan Ma shouted with a pale face full of panic.

Wang Xianzhi became angry for no reason, and wanted to draw a knife and kill the yelling guy directly.Zhen[***] obviously just left Songzhou for Yanzhou, so how could he suddenly appear in front of them.

But when he looked up, he himself froze.The cavalry of the Tang army galloping forward fluttered in front of them like a red fire cloud flag, which was the flag of Zhen [***].

In the wind and rain, this cavalry was well-equipped, with brightly colored flags, and thousands of them surged forward, killing them in a dense formation.The horse gallops forward like a gust of wind.

"This is impossible!" Wang Xianzhi's pale face was full of disbelief.He roared frantically: "Li Jing has already gone to Yanzhou, how could they appear from behind us!"

No one could answer this question, and the generals and generals under Wang Xianzhi panicked.The defeat of Songzhou not long ago made them terrified when they saw the banner of the town [***] and heard the name of the town [***].

The sound of horseshoes in Zhen [***] was getting closer and closer, deafening, and rushed straight.

"withdraw!"

Gritting his teeth, Wang Xianzhi finally gave the order.But his order was not to intercept, but to flee.If it was other soldiers who came, maybe he would have intercepted them, but when it was Zhen [***], Wang Xianzhi felt boundless fear and powerlessness in his heart, and he didn't even have the guts to fight.

Wang Xianzhi led his troops to turn around and run away, but the Zhen [***] behind him was more aggressive and faster.Soon the striker caught up with Wang Xianzhi's rear team.The two armies met at close quarters, slashing and killing each other, and the two cavalry huddled together and slashed and slashed at each other. The wind was swift and lightning, and countless knives shone like lightning.Tang Jun's fierce blade slashed on the armor and horses of Wang Xianzhi's cavalry who were fleeing desperately.

In this cavalry contest, the momentum of the right-wing cavalry was completely suppressed by the Tang cavalry. Under the terrible impact of the Tang cavalry, the cavalry in the rear row of Wang Xianzhi's troops had no power to fight back, and fell off their horses one after another, and were submerged in the ground. Under the countless horseshoes, the screams were also covered by the sound of horseshoes.

Encountering the impact of Tang Qi, Wang Xianzhi on the right wing did not dare to fight, and fled. The battle formation on the right wing of the Cao army twisted, deformed, and finally broke.

The right-wing cavalry fled, and the right-wing auxiliary soldiers had not recovered from the initial wave of cavalry attack, and then encountered the second round of cavalry attack, and broke up again, and then they immediately ushered in the Tang army Most of the infantry's phalanx charged and crushed, and it was completely defeated.

The Tang army's follow-up infantry lined up in a square formation and came all the way. The soldiers in iron armor rolled forward, stabbing with spears, dancing with swords and shields, and shooting with bows and arrows.Some grass bandit auxiliary soldiers were stabbed, but they were not stabbed to death. They just lay on the ground and let out heart-piercing screams.Before they yelled a few times, the Tang army's auxiliary soldiers in common clothes rushed up excitedly. When they saw the grass thief on the ground, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they directly raised their knives and cut off their heads. Excited Put it into the straw bag in your hand.They kept silent, just like farmers after the autumn harvest, happily picking up the ears of wheat in the field.

After the soldiers rolled over, they swept away whatever was left on the battlefield.The head of the grass thief, the wounded captives, armor, weapons, even broken weapons, and even the clothes, money, and dry food on the grass thief's corpse were all swept away. (To be continued.)
