Late Tang

Chapter 527

The front of the right wing of the grass army was full of blades like snow and spears like a forest, and the right wing of the grass bandits was cut down one by one.

Under Wang Xianzhi's fleeing without a fight, the right wing completely collapsed, and no one turned back to fight.The already weak right-wing army was now more like withered leaves, swept by gusts of wind.

Cao Jun's spears broke and fell one by one.

Under the ferocious attack of the Tang army's concentrated elite forces to attack the right wing, they were vulnerable.The entire right wing of 2 horses, like that beautiful but fragile celadon, made a crisp sound and shattered into countless pieces.

Wang Xianzhi led the cavalry and left in a wasteland. He did not approach the central army, nor did he approach the rear army, but left the battlefield directly and ran towards the Juye camp.Tang Qi pursued and killed them, and before they escaped from the battlefield, he had already beaten them to pieces and broke them into pieces.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was very delicate and complicated. Under the leadership of the three brothers Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guiba, and Huo Cun, the former army of the Cao army had rushed into the camp of the former army of the Tang army, and was fighting with the forwards of the Tang army. Kill and fight.But their right wing has quickly collapsed.Not only that, but the middle army and the rear army of the grass army were also cut open by an elite Tang cavalry at this time.

The situation of the Cao army is quite different, the middle and rear army was cut off, the right wing was defeated, the front army fell into the Yanyue formation of the Tang army, and was in a semi-surrounded situation, and their central army was now facing a situation of being surrounded by the Tang army under.

On the battlefield, Huang Chao's face was ashen, and his fists were tightly clenched.In his opinion, this battle is not without the possibility of victory.But Wang Xianzhi let him down too much, this damn guy actually got away.When Tang Qi attacked the right wing for the first time, he watched Tang Qi rush past them, broke through the unprotected right wing auxiliary soldiers, and cut into the gap between the central army, rear army, and right wing.

And when Tang Jun killed the right wing as a breakthrough point, this guy fled without a fight.Wang Xianzhi's escape not only caused the Cao army's right wing to be broken through, but because he, the commander of the Cao army, fled before the battle, the morale of the Cao army fell to the lowest point, and the entire Chinese army was panicked.

For a moment, the generals of the grass army's central army all set their sights on Huang Chao, the commander in chief on the battlefield.

Huang Chao was angry in his heart, but tried his best to cover up all this.Instead, he forced a smile on his face.He is the coach of the whole army, so there must be no panic at this time.Otherwise, this army may fall apart in an instant.

"Hahaha!" Huang Chao looked up to the sky and laughed, and everyone who laughed was puzzled.

"Everyone, our chance has come. Wang Dutong has just successfully feigned defeat and lured the main force of the Tang army away. Now, when the Tang army in front of us is empty, our chance has come. Brothers, take your swords and fight against the enemy. I will fight forward and break through the Tang army's position in one fell swoop!"

For a moment, many people were skeptical. Didn't Wang Dutong flee without a fight, but to lure away the main force of the enemy army by feigning defeat?Really?With the experience of Wang Xianzhi's defeat in Songzhou, many grass army soldiers did not fully believe this statement.

However, this explanation still raised the morale of the Cao army a lot.Anyway, now they can only hope that this is the case in their hearts, and hope that they can follow Deputy Huang to kill Tang Jun in a unified way and reverse the defeat.

The trumpets sounded, the drums thundered, the time for counterattack came, and the grass army boiled.

With an order, the central army of the Cao army not only did not turn around to support the rear army, nor did it turn around to retake the right wing, but directly moved forward with the whole army, covering the entire front.

The teams of grass bandits from all walks of life, like a flood that burst a bank, rushed towards Tang Jun's troops violently, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering!

On the entire battlefield, a wonderful scene began to appear.

The Tang army assembled more than half of the soldiers and horses, followed the gap opened by the grass bandit's right wing, broke through the right wing, and killed the grass bandit's rear army.

However, the Cao army ignored this, and instead assembled the elite soldiers and horses of the Chinese army, stepped forward bravely, reinforced the elite soldiers of the former army, and left soldiers and horses, stormed the Tang army's position at the foot of Juye Mountain.

The two armies fought their own battles, fighting fiercely from morning to afternoon.The two sides fought fiercely for nearly a day, and Tang Jun was even better.They had known for a long time that there would be a big battle today, so they rested all day and midnight yesterday, and had dinner before dawn.

But the Cao army couldn't do it anymore. They had eaten dry food after dark yesterday, and then traveled forty miles at night to come here. Up to now, they have not had any water or rice, and they are tired and hungry.

Although they fought desperately and beat Tang Jun back steadily, Tang Jun retreated all the way, but they just retreated but never collapsed, let alone scattered.Moreover, the Tang army's position was chosen on the east side of Juye Mountain, with its back against Juye Mountain.Although they retreated all the way, in such a terrain, the grass army could not outflank and attack the Tang army from the side.

The sky was getting dark, and Huang Chao shouted hoarsely.He was making a big gamble, betting on the lives of 15 grass soldiers, and betting on his great career dream.

He himself knew very well that Wang Xianzhi was not a fraudulent defeat at all, let alone some bullshit to lure the enemy.He knew very well that the idiot Wang Xiancao had been frightened out of his wits by the officers and soldiers.Just relying on a banner of the town [***], the idiot was scared and fled.He didn't believe that Li Jing was here at all, even if it was a small army sent by Li Jing.

The most notable feature of the cavalry in the town [***] is that they are all wearing leather armor, and equipped with the most special sabers and crossbows. None of these features were seen.Therefore, he decided that it was definitely not the town [***] who came to attack, but the officers and soldiers of the six towns should be under the banner of the town [***].As for why they did this, of course, it was because Wang Xianzhi, an idiot, was defeated by Li Jing, and Wang Xianzhi's [-] troops were defeated in the first battle.

Now he is gambling, he has abandoned his rear army and right army.Taking this as a bet, the grass army can be one step ahead of the official army, break through the formation of the Tang army, and break out of the encirclement.As long as the formation of the Tang army is broken head-on, even if he can't turn around and wipe out the official army, as long as he breaks out of the encirclement, it doesn't matter even if he loses the rear army and the right army.After all, the rear army is all auxiliary soldiers, and the right wing is all Wang Xianzhi's men.

It's just that the Tang army on the front line fought very bravely. Seeing the grass army's desperate attack, they immediately switched from offense to defense, and formed a dense defensive formation against the cavalry. Shield soldiers and spearmen were in front, and archers were in front. Finally, resolutely block.The big iron shield that sticks like an iron wall, stretches out from the gaps in the shield with countless shining spears, dense as a forest.The archers kept drawing their bows and shooting behind the shields, and the arrows rained like rain.

Facing the defense of the officers and soldiers, Huang Chao completely disregarded the heavy casualties and launched an uninterrupted offensive like a tide, rushing forward in turns.Holding countless lives, the front of the general army was forced to retreat continuously.

But Tang Jun's tenacity far exceeded his expectations. Up to now, Tang Jun had retreated at least two miles, but they retreated undefeated, and their formation was still strong.

The morale of the grass army has been getting lower and lower!

At this moment, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from behind.Huang Chao's face changed drastically, and he turned his head to look, only to see that the right wing and the rear army, with a total of 8 people, had completely collapsed under the impact of the Tang army.

Tang Jun, who defeated the right wing and the rear army, came from the rear of the Chinese army and outflanked the Chinese army.

Under the banner of Zhen [***], Zhuge Shuang, Cui Anqian, Du Ke and other generals slowly advanced with their troops.The Tang army stopped [-] paces behind the grass army. Cui Anqian yelled loudly, and the bloody Zhu Wen brothers escorted a row of grass army officers. Even Huang Chao's lieutenant Meng Kai was also captured.

A group of senior generals of the grass army's rear army, one by one, were escorted to the front of the formation, and their names were loudly called.

The army flag of Zhen [***] was flying, and the generals of the Cao army were captured. This series of changes caused the morale of the Cao army to completely drop to the bottom of the mud. Everyone understood at this time.No matter whether Wang Dutong was really cheating to lure the enemy before, but now, the back road and the right army are really over.

All of a sudden, people were panicked and the army was depressed!

"I recognize the three under the banner. I saw them when I was fighting in Yucheng, Songzhou. They belonged to the town [***], and they were selected by the town [***] to select the front army. I recognize them." Suddenly, in the grass army formation, a "general" who fled into the central army after the right wing was defeated just now screamed loudly, pointing at Zhu Wen and shouting in panic.

"Have you seen clearly, they are really from [***]?" Someone next to him heard about it, and hurriedly asked in panic.Just now Deputy Huang said that the enemy army was only flying the banner of Zhen [***], and that Zhen [***] was not here, but in Yanzhou.Now I heard that the officers under the [***] banner of the town [***] were the [***] officers of the town [***] during the Battle of Songzhou, so they were not surprised.

"I swear to God, they are the ones who suppressed [***], the ones who suppressed [***] and selected the front army."

The Cao army was in an uproar for a while, and the Tang army continued to outflank them. Everyone in the Cao army was terrified.

At this time, Cui Anqian saw that the morale of the grass bandit had lost, and thought that the time had come.Immediately ordered, the cavalry rushed to the grass army, and the infantry then charged.

The humming horn sounded again, and the main formation of the Tang army at the foot of Juye Mountain also sounded the horn to respond.Immediately, Tang Jun attacked Cao Jun from the front!

The Cao army had no intention of fighting again, and was immediately disintegrated after being attacked by the Tang army.Under the chaos of the army, the Cao army's offensive completely collapsed, and the whole army fell into a chaotic rout.At this time, the Tang army was full of energy, and took advantage of the victory to launch a comprehensive counterattack. The offensive was like a tide, and they fought from noon to dark.

Huang Chao also knew that the situation was over, and the resentment in his heart was unstoppable, but he had no choice but to run away.Along the way, Huang Chao set up a commander-in-chief flag and wanted to reorganize his troops, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Shuang led the cavalry to kill him again.

Zhuge Shuang's initial task was to attack the enemy's right wing, but when he saw an opportunity, he went directly to the central army, wanting to kill the general and capture the flag.Later, when the Chinese army could not do anything, and then killed the rear army, he was also a bold person.Right now they were going to withdraw their troops, but they happened to see the flag of the Cao Junshuai flying in the distance. How could they miss this opportunity, and immediately led the cavalry to attack and kill them regardless of fatigue.

"Slay the general, capture the flag!!" Zhuge Shuang shouted loudly.

Kill the General and Capture the Flag!Regardless of their fatigue, the three brothers Zhu and Wen rode their horses and raised their guns, and killed them violently! (To be continued.)
