Chapter 130 Divided and transformed

The siege battle that started at dawn came to an end at noon with the sound of the horn of the retreat among the Tang army. The Tang army surrounded Anzhou City from all directions, and the Liang Dynasty army also took this opportunity to retreat to the city for repair.

"Reward the casualties!"

"Three thousand one hundred and eighteen people were killed in the South Gate and one thousand four hundred were injured"

"Two thousand three hundred and twelve people were killed in the East Gate and two thousand seven hundred and eight were injured."

"Ximen killed 3,900 people and injured 1,515 people."

"Two thousand one hundred people were killed in the North Gate, and one thousand seven hundred nineteen people were injured. All the people died for their country..."

After Geng Yan, He Yunke and Lu Wenxuan returned, Mu Ran was surprised when he heard Ou Luyang's words. King Yu's face changed and asked, "What's going on?"

"The Tang Dynasty is ugly, hidden in Taoshui, waiting for an opportunity to attack Ximen, who has the weakest defense. Lord Quan led the troops to resist with all his strength, and eventually lost to his country and sacrificed his life!" Ou Luyang said this and choked.

"The goal of Xia Tang is to approach the granary of the Ximen!" King Yu stopped and looked towards the direction of the Ximen. There was still black smoke rising. The fire in the granary was burning for an hour before it was controlled. Unfortunately, the army outside the Ximen was besieged by Xia Tang. People in the city could not get water from Taoshui to put out the fire, so they could only rely on the wells in the city. Facing the flames that were sprayed into the air, the bamboo basket was useless to fetch water. In order to prevent the fire from spreading to residential areas, King Yu ordered the demolition of the houses around the granary and let the granary burn.

"General, now the granary is burned down and the enemy traps us in the city again. The intention of the Tang Dynasty is obvious." Shen Yongnian said: "But Wu Wei's capture is too bold. Our military strength is still there, and Suzhou on the south bank of Taoshui can help us."

"General Shen said it well, so before Suzhou stretched out a helping hand, Wu Wei will definitely attack the city with all his strength and seize the greatest benefit! I am telling me that the military doctor is responsible for treating the wounded; Geng Yan, Ou Luyang and the two armies under General Shen are still guarding their positions. In addition," King Yu paused and looked towards the direction of Panlong Ridge. "The Han Dao and Rush Claw have not yet sent back the news. I am afraid that they have encountered obstacles, so the backup plan must be activated! General Shen, the granary is burned, and the food for the military and civilians in Anzhou City must be guaranteed!"

"General, leave this matter to the last general! Miao Wei will collect all the existing rations in the city, and at the same time send a signal to Suzhou." Shen Yongnian said.

"As General Shen said, the backup plan was officially launched!" King Yu suddenly turned around and said to Peng Anze, who had been holding his troops in a state of motion: "It's time to let Tang Jianshi Tun Company's power!"

Wu Wei was in the military formation. He looked at the scarred southern gate of Anzhou City in front of him. His deep blue pupils shone like the cold of winter in the noon sun. He held the military newspaper that Fan Yi had just sent to, and everything was going on as planned. The battle from dawn to noon did cause a lot of losses to the Liang Dynasty army, but the casualties on his side were not small. Now he ordered the besiege of the city and also asked the army to retreat ten miles in order to avoid the range of the feather arrows.

"The Xuanjia Army and the Chiwei Army are indeed powerful brigades. Fortunately, the Shensha Tuqi did not join in, otherwise..." Before Wu Wei got to finish talking to himself, the southern city gate of Anzhou suddenly opened!

What rushed out of the city gate were chariots, each of which was driven by two horses and a driver. There were three soldiers behind him, two on the left and right holding spears and machetes, and one in the middle was carrying a quiver. In a short time, hundreds of chariots had already flowed out of the city gate. The chariot in the front was almost approaching the lower Tang army formation. In the middle of these two chariots was Peng Anze, the commander of the Tun Company. Unlike other soldiers' black armor, he was wearing brown-gray and the iron ring on his arms was engraved with a gray wild elephant. This was the symbol of Tun Company. It means that once Tun Company attacked fiercely, it would be invincible.

In fact, Tunlian's attack was indeed caught off guard by Wu Wei. Even though everything before was within his own calculations, the Liang army was able to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, so that the Tang army failed to organize effective defense for a while, so that the Liang army seized the opportunity. The Liang army on the top of the city and the archers on the chariot suppressed it with feather arrows. The Tunlian's chariot rushed into the enemy formation like an angry wild elephant, immediately dispersed the Tang army's defense line and also broke the stone throwing chariot. The left and right soldiers on the chariot assassinated the enemy separately, while the one in the middle protected the chariot. What the chariot had to do was to control the horse.

In contrast, the Tang army was composed of infantry and was mainly responsible for siege; the left and right armies were cavalry, responsible for entangling the Liang army's cavalry, and the target of the attack of the Tun Company was the central army. Peng Anze's task was to attack the infantry formation as much as possible. He waved the corner flag, and the hundred chariots behind him formed a wall to press the enemy.

The soldiers on the chariot fought hard, and the spear was broken and used a machete. The machete blade curled up and replaced the dagger. The robes were killed, and the shield player and the driver joined the battle. When everyone in a chariot was killed, the driver slashed the butts of the war horses with a knife at the last moment of falling, forcing them to run wildly, and used the chariot to finally crush more enemies.

After experiencing the initial panic, the Tang army began to stabilize the spirit and counterattack under the rectification of the commander. Unfortunately, the infantry had been dispersed by the garrison and could not organize the formation in a short period of time. All they could do was to fight back: the Tang soldiers fought against the enemy with spears and bayonets, and even sacrificed themselves to chop and kill the war horses. Some of them became the sword ghosts of the Liang Dynasty soldiers, some were trampled into flesh mud by horse hooves, and some were crushed by overturned chariots, but they could not retreat because the commander standing behind them was more scared than the enemy. They could only rush forward with their teeth and exchanged their bodies for glory and family revitalization.

"Caughter!" While Wu Wei was ordered to fight, the east and west gates of Anzhou City were opened at the same time. The left imperial guards and the left Wu Guard cavalry rushed out again to fight against the lower Tang cavalry. However, unlike before, the directions of the two guards' attacks were completely different: the left guard rushed towards the lower Tang army formation, while the left Wu Guard rushed towards the north gate of Anzhou City. The left guards under He Yunke's command were obviously more skillful in cavalry. At the stall where the lower Tang cavalry wanted to surround the Tunlian Guards from both sides, the left guard surrounded the lower Tang cavalry from behind.

The Tun Lianwei charges bravely and powerfully, but also has a fatal weakness, that is, once you attack with all your might, you will be unable to defend. If an enemy surrounds you from behind, it will be extremely difficult for the chariot to turn around. What awaits them is the fate of being slaughtered.

After the war began, Wu Yihuo discovered this quickly, so he decisively ordered the cavalry to surround the back. But as soon as he moved, the Liang army immediately made a countermeasure. The cavalry of the left guard cut off the rear of the Tang cavalry at a speed of lightning speed. A double siege battle was inevitable. Wu Yihuo looked up at the city of Anzhou, and the man standing on the city of Anzhou also cast the same gaze.

"I meet the opponent!"

He Yunke's phoenix winged three-edged spear made two enemies with his phoenix. He ordered his subordinates to seize the opportunity of the enemy to his back to him and fight hard to kill the enemy. For a moment, the Tang cavalry was busy killing the Tunlian Guards with his back to him, and was attacked from behind by the left guards, and they had to go through the hand. The first group of people who turned around in the lower Tang cavalry had different weapons than ordinary cavalry. The three nunchakus they used to use the wolf teeth. The three nunchakus immediately swept off several left guard cavalry. Anyone who was cut by the wolf teeth of the three nunchakus would foam and fall to the ground and die after a long time.

"The weapon is poisonous!" He Yunke roared. The one he hated the most for many years was the use of poison. "They give it to me, you can attack with all your strength!" He Yunke and his personal guards targeted these enemies holding three nunchakus and sent the rest of the cavalry to the front.

To capture the thief first, He Yunke had long set his sights on one of the thin and tall masked men. The reason why he thought he was the leader of this group of people was that the barbs on his wolf-toothed three-numbridge shone not with blue luster but with red. There is no doubt that the poison on this must be even more toxic. He Yunke secretly squeezed his cold sweat.

The yellow corner flag flipped left and right, and the deputy general led the left guard to insert it between the group of three nunchakus and the lower Tang cavalry. Twenty personal guards under He Yunke followed the commander to fight with the group of three nunchakus.

The left-ranking cavalrymen kept a certain distance from the enemy with the advantage of the spear, and advanced and forced them even further; if they were not the opponent, they retreated a little, and always kept a distance from the enemy. He Yunke's three-edged spear made the tiger powerful and unpredictable, creating an attack circle around the leader, but they were not in a hurry to attack its vital points. The thin leader's upper body did not move at all, and relied on the wolf-toothed three-numbak in his hand to form a defensive circle around him.

Seeing that He Yunke could not find the enemy's flaw for a moment, he had an idea and threw away the triangular gun and stabbed the enemy's mount. The horse's butt was poked out with a hole in the butt. It raised its head and whistled. Seeing that the mount was attacked, the thin leader glared at him and wanted to take He Yunke's life with one slash. As the commander of the left guard, He Yunke's ability to adapt was excellent. He not only avoided a killer move, but also used his spare time to attack the horse's body again. The painful horse jumped on the spot and wanted to run away. If the thin leader had not tied the reins tightly, he would have run out of the battle formation at this moment.
