Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 298 Battle of Single County
The place where Lu Xin and other four thousand Anton cavalry attacked the anti-army grain transport team was only fifteen miles away from the anti-army camp under Suiyang City, and the news spread to the anti-army camp soon.

At the same time, in order to let all the anti-army soldiers know that their food transport team was attacked and all the food and grass were lost, Li Fei also "released" all the captured soldiers of the anti-army food transport team back to the anti-army camp.

This time, the news is unstoppable. Suiyang City could not be attacked repeatedly, but he suffered heavy casualties, and the morale of the rebel army was very low. Now the food and grass have been robbed again, and the remaining food and grass in the camp can only support In less than three days, the entire anti-military camp was shrouded in panic, and it was almost a mess.

The anti-army coach Yang Chaozong was in a state of desperation.

"Where did the Tang Dynasty get the four thousand cavalry here?" Yang Chaozong couldn't figure it out.

I don’t know why after Wu Lingxun fled to Yingchuan, he didn’t send someone to tell Yang Chaozong the news of his disastrous defeat in Nanyang City, so Yang Chaozong didn’t know that the iron cavalry who attacked his grain transport team was Anton’s cavalry under Li Fei’s command. , Not to mention that there are actually more than 4000 Anton cavalry, but a full 2 people.

Just because he didn't know and was unwilling to withdraw his troops like this, Yang Chaozong sent his deputy general Linghu Chao to lead an army of 1 people to Shan County to transport food again.In his mind, although the enemy had [-] cavalry, he sent a full [-] troops, and he was not afraid of being attacked again.

Yang Chaozong's idea is very good, but the reality is very cruel.

Linghu Chao took the [-] troops given to him by Yang Chaozong all the way to Shan County, but he didn't see a single cavalryman from the Tang Army.

To say that this Linghu Chao was originally just a small county magistrate of Datang, after he surrendered to the rebels, he quickly climbed to his current position by offering his beautiful twin sisters.

Although Linghu Chao didn't have much talent, he was very conceited. He wasn't in a hurry at all. He felt that the reason why the four thousand cavalrymen of the Tang army hadn't disappeared was because he hadn't started transporting food. When he started transporting food from Shan County to the camp under Suiyang City, the four thousand cavalry of the Tang Army would definitely come to attack again. At that time, he would be able to defeat the four thousand cavalry of the Tang Army with an absolutely superior force.

Conceit requires strength. Linghu Chao obviously overestimated his strength, and he didn't understand that before he arrived in Shan County, Shan County was captured by Anton's Iron Cavalry. Now the Anton Iron Cavalry is about to deploy. He opened a pocket, just waiting for Linghu Chao to get in.

When Linghu Chao led the army to the front of Shanxian City, he saw that the gate of Shanxian County was closed tightly, so he didn't think much, so he sent a soldier to step forward to scold the people inside to open the city gate quickly.

However, Cao Ce, the rebel soldier, stepped forward immediately, and just raised his breath, but before he could say anything, an arrow was suddenly shot from the city wall of Shan County.

"Pfft!" The arrow pierced directly into the chest of the anti-army soldier Cao, and half of the bloody arrow pierced out from his back.

Immediately afterwards, all the anti-military banners on the city wall of Shan County were thrown down, and replaced by the banners of Datang and Andong Protectorate.

The anti-army soldier Cao stared so hard that his body fell off his horse.

"Shan County has been taken by Datang!" In the rear, Linghu Chao turned pale with shock, and Shan County had been taken back by Datang at some point.

This is bad, Shan County has stored all the food and grass for the army that attacked Suiyang. Without food and grass, how can we take Suiyang?

"Prepare to attack the city and take back Shan County!" Linghu Chao ordered angrily, planning to forcefully take Shan County back with his 1 troops.Anyway, according to his opinion, the Tang army has a maximum of 4000 people, and he has [-], so it may not be impossible to retake Shan County.

However, Linghu Chao had just given the order, and before the rebels under his command started to move, suddenly there was a rumbling sound, like an earthquake.

"No, it's iron cavalry, tens of thousands of iron cavalry!" A general in the rebel army shouted in fear.

Although most of Linghu Chao's [-] rebels were mobs who hadn't been in the group for a long time, some middle and upper level generals were almost all selected from the most primitive elite of the rebels.They once fought Khitan with Anlu Mountain. The Xi people have been so familiar with the sound of galloping cavalry for so many years.

Sure enough, after the words were uttered, countless cavalry rushed out from all directions.

Not only that, but the city gate of Shan County was opened on its own initiative, and countless cavalry rushed out.

"Fight, it's tricked." Linghu Chao's face was pale, there are at least 4000 of the Tang army's cavalry, which is [-]!
It is impossible to be an opponent at all!
At this time, Linghu Chao completely lost the arrogance he had just now, and looked around in horror, hoping to find a place where he could escape.

As the general of an army, Linghu Chao didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting, only thinking about how to escape.And how could the [-] mob under his command be any better, and they were in chaos in an instant.

"Shoot!" Li Fei ordered indifferently.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......

A mob is a mob, and if they meet other Tang troops who also have little combat experience, they may be able to behave equally, but once they meet the real elite, they are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.What's more, Li Fei's Anton Iron Cavalry is not only elite, but also has horses, horizontal knives, horse lances, god arm crossbows, and steel armor, elites armed to the teeth, and the overall strength is properly crushed.

Faced with such dense rain of arrows, even those rebel soldiers who had shields were too frightened to raise their shields to resist the rain of arrows.

"Pfft! Puff! Puff—" In just one round of arrow rain, thousands of anti-army soldiers were killed or injured, and a large area fell down.

"Kill!" After the rain of arrows, Anton's cavalry directly 'bumped' into the rebel army.

There was no army formation in the first place, and they were in a state of chaos, but now they were directly killed by Anton's cavalry, and the rebels quickly dispersed and divided, and a large number of rebel soldiers were hacked and killed like wheat. , This is really like slaughtering a flock of sheep, and the resistance encountered is almost negligible.

Linghu Chao was also shot three times in the arrow rain just now, and fell off his horse.

This guy was very lucky. He was shot with three arrows and none of them hit the vital point, so he was able to get up again.

"I'm willing to surrender, I'm willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, don't fight anymore!" Linghu Chao saw that the situation was extremely unfavorable, and he was also seriously injured.

There were Anton cavalry in all directions. The anti-army soldiers were already terrified. They were in a mess and quickly divided into several parts. Even if Linghu Chao didn't call for surrender, they were ready to surrender. After all, the difference in strength was too great.
