Chapter 20 Entering the City
Wu Shengjun fought like a butcher butchering pigs, disemboweling them in an orderly manner at all times. The troops in the brigade would never rush in, and there would never be one or two overzealous guys ready to fight one against ten.
When encountering a large group of enemies, use gunpowder bombs to explode them, or use crossbow arrows to weaken the enemy's strength to the maximum extent. Only when your own strength far exceeds that of the enemy will you pupate... There is no sense of beauty at all.
The battle of Di Qing's men was much more interesting. Yang Wenguang and the two cavalrymen he personally led were like embroidering in the enemy's position, erratically moving left and right, dividing the enemy into countless groups in the shortest time.
Xiao Chuan, and then expected Zhang Yu and others to lead the infantry to eliminate these enemy troops one by one.
Quy Nhon Pu was extremely small, and the mountains on both sides were very steep. The large group of men and horses were fighting in a small area, and there were not many tactics to choose from. Di Qing immediately climbed up the slope and saw that Wu Sheng's army had defeated the enemy, so he ordered the flag officer to let him go.
He told Yun Zheng that this was not the time to fight with the enemy, and that he should send cavalry to pursue the enemy quickly and no longer worry about casualties.
However, he had sent out three waves of messengers, but Wu Sheng's army still did not advance as he said. They were still attacking, weakening, and killing at their own natural frequency. The cavalry did not rush forward, but instead assisted the infantry to gradually expand their position.
Even though he saw Nong Zhigao being carried away by the army and fleeing, he had no intention of pursuing him.
"Short-sighted people are short-sighted and resourceful!" Seeing Nong Zhigao leaving the battlefield, Di Qing punched his left hand with hatred and anger.
Zhang Yu, Jia Kui, and Yang Wenguang have strangled all the enemies in their encirclement. The cry of victory resounded through the sky, and countless soldiers raised their blood-stained swords and shouted,
Only Wu Shengjun seemed to be dismissive of this. He simply gathered up the battlefield captures and left the wounded soldiers to be taken care of by the logistics battalion. The remaining soldiers replenished their crossbows and gunpowder shells without saying a word and followed them far away.
The cavalry who left marched towards Binyang City.
"Follow up, keep up, eat while walking, we have to catch up with Nong Zhigao and chop off his head!" The blood-stained military leader urged his men to hurry up while stuffing meat pie into his mouth.
Di Qing, who had already ordered a rest, was stunned for a moment. What was Wu Sheng's army doing? The soldiers had been fighting for most of the day and must be exhausted. To catch up now would be to chase the tiger into a back alley.
If you want to pursue and kill, why not pursue and kill Nong Zhigao when he defeats his own formation? Aren't you afraid of Nong Zhigao's backlash at this time?
It is said that you should not chase the enemy when you are poor. Yun Zheng believed in Taizu's famous saying - if you beat the drowned dog hard, your own army is fighting hard. Similarly, Nong Zhigao's army is also fighting hard, and they are the losing side.
Wu Shengjun's first priority in fighting is not to plunge himself into despair. When fighting, he also takes turns to fight. It seems like a fierce battle, but in fact there are always only a thousand people at the front, and the rest only use crossbows or gunpowder shells to help.
The charging thousand brothers opened the way, so the loss of physical strength was not great.
Nong Zhigao could not go to Yongzhou. The only thing he could do at this time was to defend Binyang. However, he did not know whether Binyang had been captured by Zhou Tong. Since he was going to Binyang, it would be better to pursue them one after another.
Wu Shengjun had many war horses, so the infantry were also able to ride horses. Of course, they were limited to riding on horses. Since there were war horses everywhere on the battlefield, of course they would not be polite. They would mount them as soon as they caught them. Some of the war horses carried two on their backs.
personal.
It was only more than thirty miles from Quy Nhon Pu to Binyang. The route was full of Nong Zhigao's defeated army running around. The terrain sandwiched between two mountains allowed Yun Zheng to defeat the lagging defeated army without too much effort.
One hit to kill.
Nong Zhigao organized three blockades, but they were all defeated by Wu Shengjun's crossbows and gunpowder bombs, and each time became easier than the last... This was a sign of the chaos in the military.
Going further, Yun Zheng saw many killed members of the army. It was obvious that this was Nong Zhigao's attempt to clean up military discipline. However, killing people at this time would only have the opposite effect. Before complete safety, a defeated army would not be inspiring.
Fighting spirit.
Hearing the sound of the horn from a distance, Yun Zheng smiled. Zhou Tong lived up to expectations and captured Binyang. Now he is fighting with Nong Zhigao. The meaning of the horn just now is that everyone must prepare. It seems that Nong Zhi
Gao's offensive was very fierce.
It's ridiculous to think about it. He has pursuers behind him and he has to attack the heavily guarded city. The loss of Binyang seems to be very irritating to Nong Zhigao. He would rather pay a heavy price to capture Binyang City again.
No one would believe it if the things Nong Zhigao robbed in the Song Dynasty were not in Binyang.
Yunzheng's army slowly pressed forward. Yunzheng never acted in a hurry when fighting. Sometimes he made decisions too quickly. As a newcomer on the battlefield, something might go wrong. Anyway, he had powerful long-range attack power. No matter how the stalemate was fought,
, the situation will always be favorable to one's own side. In the art of war, aggression is like fire, which is not suitable for Wu Shengjun, very inappropriate.
The curious Di Qing also rushed over, but he did not come to Yunzheng's command position. Instead, he immediately took a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield from a high slope. This guy's reputation can inspire thousands of troops, so he will habitually choose
Standing high,.
Yun Zheng looked back at Di Qing, who was wearing a cloak and standing on a high place to pull the wind. He wanted to throw a few large gunpowder bombs there. This thought was fleeting, and the tide of troops was rushing towards his army formation.
Come here and take his mind off other things.
Wu Shengjun had no special tactics. Di Qing could see clearly. This time he was less than 200 meters away from Yunzheng, so he could see Wu Shengjun's fighting method very clearly.
For long distances, use the bed crossbow with wheels that can run around. If you get closer, you will use crossbow arrows to cover it. If you get closer, it will be bombarded by the terrifying gunpowder bombs. Then it will be the cavalry's turn to assault, divide, surround, and kill...
…
The tantalizing attacks came one after another like a tidal wave. Wu Shengjun's defense was carried out over and over again in such a boring and meaningless manner. No matter whether the people attacked from the left or from the right, their outcome was almost the same. No matter what, the result was almost the same.
As long as a strong army enters the coverage area of gunpowder bombs, no matter how thick shields they hold or what kind of heavy armor they wear, they will still be torn into pieces by gunpowder bombs.
An army suddenly appeared on the left side of Tiaoren. Sun Yuangui led his generals to fight. This was the best opportunity. The Liao people were already running away. The final blow at this time would definitely completely defeat the Liao people.
defeated.
"Has Nong Zhigao escaped?" Yun Zheng asked Xiao Lin in a low voice, who had just returned from the front.
Xiaolin pointed to the west with an expressionless face and remained silent. As a general, it would be the greatest shame for him to run away from the enemy on the battlefield. However, Yun Zheng said that this man could not be caught now. Whether Wu Shengjun could really make a fortune depends on
For this man, only by letting him run away could he lead the reinforcements he found to continuously attack the Song Dynasty, and Wu Shengjun could find sufficient excuses to attack others.
"Don't be so cool. This is a good thing. Why do you think Zhuge Liang wanted to capture Meng Huo seven times? He didn't plan to kill Meng Huo. The top priority was to kill those chaotic forces in southern Xinjiang. Think about it, if
Without Meng Huo tempting the barbarians from southern Xinjiang over and over again, Zhuge Liang would have dreamed of quickly pacifying the south.
Cheating friends and brothers requires a guy like Meng Huo to do it in order to do it solidly. Look at Nong Zhigao now. He is as skilled in martial arts as Meng Huo, has the same wide circle of friends, and the same ability to attract reinforcements.
, you killed this baby, where can we find such a good excuse for Nong Zhigao?"
Yun Zheng sat behind the big shield and saw that the gunpowder bombs once again blew up the people and made them howl like ghosts. Then he calmed down and explained to Xiao Lin.
"It is not easy for a large army to go to war. If one battle cannot guarantee the peace of the South for more than fifty years, this battle is inappropriate. Those people led by Di Qing are all frontier troops in the northwest. Naturally, they cannot leave for too long, but it doesn't matter to us.
Ah, as long as you are willing, it doesn't matter if you stay in the south for three to five years, but I don't have the intention to stay here any longer, I will go home next year."
Xiaolin took off his helmet, and the guard immediately took a kettle and poured water on his head. Xiaolin took the kettle from the guard's hand, drank the pot of water happily, changed his horse, and picked up the iron gun again.
He said to Yunzheng: "I hope your idea can be realized, and don't bring greater disaster to the Song Dynasty."
Liang Ji and Xiao Lin's cavalry once again dispatched to join the battle group. At the same time, the city gate of Binyang opened wide, and Zhou Tong also led the army to fight out of the city. Under Binyang City, everywhere was like headless flies.
The Liao people who were running around found that their invincible leader had disappeared.
Yun Zheng stood up and said to Su Xun: "Let's go into the city? It seems that the Privy Councilor doesn't want to pay attention to us, so he won't invite him. He immediately sent someone to appease the envoy to report it, saying that Wu Sheng's army had a great victory and killed 20,000 enemies..."
Di Qing really didn't want to meet Yun Zheng. When he saw Nong Zhigao escaping with a few followers, although he felt sorry, he didn't care. He walked down the high slope and turned back to Kunlun Pass.
After returning to the quiet Binyang from the messy battlefield, Yun Zheng finally felt physically and mentally exhausted. He lay in the huge bathtub, listening to the messy footsteps outside, closed his eyes, and took a long breath. His first battle
, finally no clues were revealed. After this battle, I should be the most capable person among the civil servants, right?
Hearing the military report of Wu Shengjun, Yu Jing was overjoyed. The old man almost danced and entered Binyang City. At the same time, all the civil servants in Guangnan who could be found entered Binyang. Each of them had a sword hanging under his ribs. It seemed that just now
After participating in the battle, no matter what he said or did, he was impassioned.
When Yu Jing heard that Yun Zheng was resting, he didn't feel dissatisfied at all: "It's just the right time for the general to lie down after a fierce battle!" He boldly moved his official office to Binyang, planning to use it as the political center of Guangnan.
