Chapter 68 Crash
In the battlefield, people shouted and horses neighed, and there was chaos.
Liang Jun was cut into three sections by two brown torrents, and the head and tail could not be looked at each other.
An officer gathered a group of soldiers nearby, and his spears were facing the outside, like a hard reef in the flood, which was struggling to block the tide.
The passing knight shook his hand and threw a spear, and one person fell down.
The knight following closely behind did not reduce his horse's speed at all and also threw his spear down.
The reef gradually disintegrates into the water.
An officer took over the flag bearer's flag, waved it hard, and shouted loudly. The unyielding soldier leaned over and tried to resist stubbornly.
An arrow flew over and shot him in the face tricky way. Then several arrows flew over and fell on his neck, chest and abdomen.
The flag fell to the ground with a bang.
Someone held an iron spear and stabbed two knights one after another.
A third person passed by, waved his rope, put it accurately around his neck, and dragged it away.
All of this was done during the marching, reflecting the superb skills and rich experience of the Iron Cavalry soldiers.
Some people are not good at martial arts, but they will only follow others and cannot make various tactical actions accurately and quickly.
Some people have no experience and only have martial arts skills, but they end up like headless flies. They don’t know what to do or how to play their strengths.
The Iron Cavalry Army has been fighting for many years, and many people have come from the chieftain, Beiwei, who have all had ridiculous cavalry, martial arts, experience and courage. They are indeed the first-class elite strong army, although they are always ridiculed by the "beggar version" cavalrymen with only one horse.
The first wave penetrated Liang's formation and rushed to the distance.
Before Liang's army could breathe, the second wave of more than 2,000 cavalry followed one after another.
Arrows, spears, and flying axes all fell down. The Iron Cavalry Army is free, and it allows soldiers to bring their own weapons. Except for short spears and cavalry bows, the rest can be individually made by themselves.
The increasingly chaotic Liang army could not resist the attack at all.
Someone turned around and walked towards the direction of Sishui City, jumped into the trench, hid behind the trench wall, and retreated into the small village.
Someone accelerated his escape in the direction of the camp, stripped his armor, threw away his equipment, stumbled, and disheveled his hair.
More people can't see the situation around them clearly, only knowing that there are people everywhere, soldiers cannot find generals, generals cannot find soldiers, and they are in chaos. With extreme tension, they even lose their sense of direction and have no idea where to escape.
"Boom!" The cavalry rushed past the side and knocked a bad guy away. The saber in the knight's hand slashed horizontally. Wherever he passed, blood rained, and his broken limbs fell to the ground.
More knights penetrated by the headless fly. They harvested their lives in the most labor-saving way, just like Liang Bing himself bumped into it.
The second wave slashed into the distance. Wherever he passed, the Liang army was dispersed at the last point. Tens of thousands of hedgehogs before the war turned into 40,000 sheep, and were driven everywhere.
The third wave of Iron Cavalry auxiliary soldiers has accelerated. They are experienced hunters, holding bows in their hands, walking around in circles without any hesitation, shooting arrows from time to time, aggravating the enemy's casualties and chaos, and constantly sucking Liang's last bit of morale and physical strength.
Under the raid, the surging wave initiated by the Iron Cavalry almost crushed everything.
On the wider periphery, the Dingnan Army was divided into very scattered, hundreds of cavalry, like a hawk who was rushing to eat. When they saw the hares on the grassland, they rushed forward, first shot and killed the brave men who wanted to resist, and then drove the Liang army's defeated troops to the southwest.
The soldiers of the personal guards were wearing armor and spears and slowly walked up. The Liang soldiers were devastated and their physical strength was greatly weakened. They knelt on the ground and begged for surrender.
"The Iron Cavalry fought beautifully!" On a small hill, Shao Shude stood on his horse, put on a pergola in his hand, and carefully observed the situation in the field.
There are 500 personal soldiers and soldiers around us, and there are more than 3,000 loyal guards everywhere. If the Liang people want to turn defeat into victory, they can rush here and try their luck.
Li Zhong was very envious, while Yelikcheng was a little dissatisfied. But they had to admit that the Iron Cavalry, which is a freak cavalry, is indeed experienced and skilled. No wonder the Tubo people screamed in Qingtang.
You said they were fighting and killing cavalry, but they didn't use thick and long horse lances or slender cavalry spears, and they also played with bows and arrows.
You say they are gamblers, but they are not very similar. They have better melee combat capabilities than those foreigners.
Overall, it is not likable, but it works very well on the grassland and not very well on the Central Plains theory. But today I gave them the opportunity to become famous in one battle.
"You two don't have to be discouraged." Shao Shude looked at Li Zhong, Yelikcheng's face and smiled: "The selection standards for the Iron Cavalry Army are not low. They are either skilled people or the chief hero Beiwei. Others have no chance to build such an army."
"The king is so powerful that he is in Guanbei and Helong, and there are warriors fighting for him to serve." Li Zhong said: "Zhu Quanzhong's infantry is indeed powerful, but he is not as good as the king and the two leaders of the grassland and the Central Plains."
"You can talk like your grandfather." Shao Shude laughed.
Li Zhong's martial arts are actually not good, but he is loyal, has a wink, can speak, and is enough to be the leader of a personal soldier. It is also very suitable. If he is a more reckless person, he might break Shao Shude's good things.
The war on the field is coming to an end.
Unexpectedly, the Liang army's infantry collapsed first. They were attacking Sishui County before, with a strong momentum. When they heard the sound of striking, they immediately organized a retreat after seeing the banner. But it was not that simple in the hasty. The entire retreat made it extremely chaotic, and then the Iron Cavalry seized the opportunity and rushed in. The entire army collapsed after a little resistance.
In comparison, the enemy's cavalry resisted a little longer. Their melee ability was extremely outstanding and they did not lose the advantage in fighting in person. The Dingnan Army also divided some archers to shoot cold arrows outside the battle group.
Finally, after seeing that the infantry had collapsed, the Liang cavalry also collapsed. They slapped the horses frantically and fled eastward.
The Iron Cavalry and the cavalry of the Dingnan Army surrounded and blocked each other, shooting and killing the enemy one after another. The auxiliary soldiers of the guards even stepped forward to help, and the arrow rain fell densely into the fleeing enemy cavalry formation, wantonly reaping lives.
"Go down the mountain and take a look." Shao Shude ordered.
The personal soldiers and the guards and nearly 4,000 guards guarded him down the hillside and came to the battlefield soaked in blood.
The field was covered with corpses, with terrifying death and bloody appearance. When the war horses passed by at high speed, even the sabers that had not opened their edges could create terrible wounds on people. Not to mention the corpses trampled by the war horses, their bones were broken, their chests were sunken, and their mouths and noses were covered with blood.
The personal soldiers scattered from afar. When they saw the injured enemy soldiers, they went up to make up for a knife. The personal soldiers of the guards poked the corpse with their spears to ensure that no one pretended to be dead on the ground and assassinated Shao Shude.
Shao Shude stopped and stopped walking. The wounded soldiers of the Liang army in the distance breathed a sigh of relief. They finally escaped on the battlefield. If they die in a confused manner, it would be too unfair.
"Report to the king, General Liu sent someone to return the matter, and he has killed the thief general Zhang Cunjing and captured Wen Yu." When the Youling Qi saw the big flag, he immediately rushed over to report.
"Where is Liu Zijing?" Shao Shude asked.
"General Liu" is Liu Zijing, deputy envoy of the Iron Cavalry Army, and the old man from Xicheng Yuancong.
"General Liu was injured when he rushed. He had just wrapped his wounds and was ready to continue chasing."
"How brave!" Shao Shude praised.
Zhang Cunjing was also a general of the Liang army. He commanded the cavalry and died in the battle. The general was bound to be killed on the battlefield. If he became a warrior, he had to have this enlightenment.
"Where is He Delun?" Shao Shude asked.
"This person was escorted by his personal guards and ran out. Our troops are chasing him."
"He ran fast." Shao Shude cursed.
If you can't surround these generals, you will basically have no chance to capture them. There are several empty horses per person, and more than one personal soldier. If you want to run away, it will be difficult for you to catch up with the Iron Cavalry Army and the Defence Army are just doing their best.
After a while, another cavalry came to report:
The thief commander Ge Congzhou led thousands of people to retreat into the camp and defended himself behind closed doors.
Most of the bandit army was defeated, and some remaining soldiers hid in the trenches walls and the small village was in the gates of Sishui County, and infantry rushed out to cooperate with the Iron Cavalry to kill the remaining enemies.
It has been planned to capture more than 7,000 prisoners from the thief army, and the remaining people are still counting, and it is estimated that more than 20,000 prisoners will be captured.
Every post is good news, and everyone is happy and happy.
Shao Shude felt very happy, and his face was quite calm, as if it was just a trivial victory. Of course, everyone knew that after this battle, Ge Congzhou's group was over. Long Wu, Desheng, his personal cavalry, and captured more than 10,000 people from the four generations. No one in Tutuan would care, but it could also severely destroy the morale of the enemy. Every household was dead. If this morale was high, there would be a ghost.
"Send people to persuade Ge Congzhou to surrender. Now that things have come to this point, it will be foolish and loyal to the matter, and it will be useless." Shao Shude said: "More than 30,000 people have collapsed, and there are still thousands of defeated soldiers and generals left. I just need to transfer the guards and the soldiers will be defeated in an instant. Now I don't want to commit more murderous crimes, so I hope they will do it themselves."
"Affect the order." Someone immediately went to assign.
The guards had 10,000 personal soldiers, not all of them were cavalry. Although they could ride horses and shoot arrows, infantry actually accounted for the majority. They were usually busy with farm work and practiced in their spare time, which was similar to the local tyrants, but had stronger equipment and combat power.
