Eight hundred and fortieth chapters one point, two circles, large semicircle
ps: It’s been a dry winter in Henan. Without snow, the New Year atmosphere will be dull. Now it’s finally here!
If you like snow, keep snowing!
The two horses crossed each other, and Cheng Xiaofeng had already passed by. Gong Rui's shot did not hit Cheng Xiaofeng's back, but scratched the butt of Cheng Xiaofeng's horse. There was a bloody wound, and the horse suddenly felt pain, and it stood upright instantly.
He threw the defenseless Cheng Xiaofeng off the ground.
Gong Rui's feet landed on the ground, and the guards rushed forward, shouting repeatedly, "Protect the general, protect the general."
Cheng Xiaofeng was less than five feet away from Gong Rui, and was surrounded by a group of soldiers. At this time, he opened his eyes wide and roared, "Surround up, kill Gong Rui, kill the enemy general..."
No one could stop Cheng Xiaofeng. In the blink of an eye, he chopped down five horses and swept away seven Tang army soldiers. The blade of his gun sprayed with blood all over the sky, "Kill..."
Gong Rui's face was livid. After a confrontation, he was once again at a disadvantage. Although he only lost one horse and did not suffer any damage, he was indeed at a disadvantage.
Cheng Xiaofeng roared like thunder, waved his gun wildly, and was invincible among the soldiers of the Tang army.
A cold light flashed through the air like lightning, and "Dang..." there was a loud noise and sparks shot out. Cheng Xiaofeng's spear bounced up and he took two steps back.
"Who are you?" A burly man appeared next to Gong Rui. The long sword in his hand was trembling slightly. Cheng Xiaofeng's eyes shrank. This big man gave him a threatening feeling, but he still smiled disdainfully at Gong Rui.
"It turns out that I have a bodyguard!"
Gong Rui was furious at the one-word provocation, and immediately took a step forward to fight.
The big man tilted his body and stood firmly in front of Gong Rui.
"I'm Nangong Yu." As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up like a tiger and rushed towards Cheng Xiaofeng. Cheng Xiaofeng shouted "Okay". The spear in his hand whizzed up. For a moment, only gold and iron were heard, and sparks were flying all over the sky. On both sides,
The soldiers of both sides were evenly matched, and the surrounding soldiers were entangled in each other, fighting fiercely. Blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and no one could rush to help.
Nangong Yu was like wind and fire, with a voice like thunder, advancing step by step, slashing and stabbing seventeen times in a row. Cheng Xiaofeng tried his best to block, but he couldn't gain the upper hand with all his strength. In the end, he simply threw the spear aside.
, drew out the long sword at his waist to deal with it. But Nangong Yu was experienced and brave, and each sword was more fierce than the other, killing Cheng Xiaofeng without any temper.
Gong Rui did not take the opportunity to join the battle group. What was more important for him at the moment was to command and dispatch the troops. Knowing that his third uncle was powerful, he did not worry at all that Nangong Yu would be injured by Cheng Xiaofeng. He replaced it with a war horse and raised his head.
The leader shouted wildly, "Kill..." and the spear whizzed down.
Cheng Xiaofeng's momentum of charging into the battle was blocked, but the more than 10,000 Tang troops were defeated. Even if they were elites, they really could not withstand the impact of 10,000 Forbidden Army cavalry, let alone Xin Jia and Hou Sheng's cavalry.
arrive.
When two Zhou army cavalry quickly caught up and outflanked them from both wings.
Gong Rui hurriedly ordered the money to be withdrawn.
But at this moment, even if Gong Rui wants to lead his team to retreat quickly, it will be difficult, unless he becomes a gecko and cuts off his tail to survive.
Gong Rui didn't want to be a gecko, so he led a group of troops with his own soldiers and fell into the Zhou army's cavalry, fighting fiercely. In other words, he was first entangled by the cavalry and could not retreat at all, and then he was completely surrounded.
Shangguan Renqing received the report. Without hesitation, he pointed his halberd forward and led his bodyguards into the enemy formation like a strong wind. The war horses were like arrogant dragons, and the iron halberds were flying. Amidst the thunderous roars, they wantonly devoured each piece.
Fresh life. Thousands of fine knights follow closely behind, unstoppable and invincible.
Cheng Xiaofeng ordered his imperial cavalry to evade his sharp edge, get out of the way, and block Shangguan Renqing's retreat, trapping him in the formation. Then, together with Xin Jia and Hou Sheng's troops, they completely strangled the three Shangguan Renqing and Gong Rui.
Shangguan Renqing joined Gong Rui, ordered his bodyguards and cavalry to guard both sides of the infantry, and tried their best to break through, but the Zhou army was surrounded layer by layer and could not be killed.
Shangguan Renqingbu was so angry that he suddenly turned his horse's head and single-handedly attacked the Zhou army in the middle of the formation. The soldiers of the Zhou army could not resist, and Shangguan Renqing's horse was killed by Shangguan Renqing.
The banner of the Chinese army was raised. Of course, Cheng Xiaofeng discovered Shangguan Renqing's intention and commanded his own soldiers to fight to the death. He also hurriedly came to fight.
But Shangguan Renqing was lucky. Cheng Xiaofeng did not have any outstanding expert guards, and General Xinjia Hou Sheng was also not qualified to be protected by a single person. Shangguan Renqing was anxious, stirruped quickly, and the spurs penetrated the belly of the war horse. The horse was in great pain.
, flew into the air, and the moment his body collided with the big flag, the thick-armed flagpole was broken in two, and the Chinese military flag crashed to the ground.
The Zhou army suddenly became chaotic, and Ruhong's morale was exhausted.
Gong Rui took the opportunity and commanded his soldiers to fight out. Shangguan Renqing's personal cavalry immediately separated some of their troops and turned back to the enemy's formation to rescue Shangguan Renqing.
Cheng Xiaofeng was extremely angry, roared loudly, and aimed his spear directly at Shangguan Renqing. Shangguan Renqing was not afraid, his iron halberd flew up and down, and he kept fighting. The surrounding Zhou soldiers were killed if they could not dodge.
Cheng Xiaofeng's martial arts was no match for Shangguan Renqing. He was so angry that he cursed and shouted, "Spread out, spread out, spread out. Shoot him to death, shoot him to death..."
However, the Zhou army retreated quickly, and Shangguan Renqing's speed was even faster. He always appeared in the most crowded places, with the halberd in his hand like lightning in the sky. While drinking the blood of Zhou soldiers, he made a terrifying soul-chasing scream.
.
Suddenly, Shangguan Renqing roared loudly, leaning his halberd on the ground. His bloody body took advantage of the momentum and flew into the air, gliding several feet in the air like an eagle in the sky. He crossed the crowd and bumped into a man who was rushing from a distance.
The Zhou Jun cavalryman was caught off guard and was hit by a missile on the spot by Shangguan Renqing. He let out a shrill scream. Shangguan Renqing landed firmly on his horse.
"Ang ang ang..."
Shangguan Renqing knocked him down with a punch. The horse was in pain, neighed, jumped up, bumped into several people, and galloped away.
"Surround him and kill him..." Cheng Xiaofeng's eyes almost burst out with fire. He raised his spear high and led his bodyguards in pursuit.
Shangguan Renqing, who was galloping on horseback, suddenly turned around. What he held in his hand was no longer a halberd, but a strong bow. He aimed a sharp arrow at Cheng Xiaofeng and shot it rapidly.
Without thinking, Cheng Xiaofeng threw away the spear, turned over and rolled off the horse.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..." Three sharp arrows whizzed past. One pierced the horse's neck, one shot the bodyguard behind Cheng Xiaofeng off the horse, and another struck the horse's back.
Three arrows were fired from one bow. Before Cheng Xiaofeng landed, he looked at the shadow of the arrow flying past his head like lightning, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The thought of rushing to catch up with Shangguan Renqing was completely destroyed.
Shangguan Renqing's archery skills were extraordinary. He fired his horned bow and shot down the Zhou soldiers one after another. The pursuers were so frightened that they did not dare to pursue him any more.
His bodyguard cavalry were fighting hard when they suddenly saw Shangguan Renliang coming out with his guns, and they all raised their arms and cheered.
"Go. Go, go quickly, fight out." Holding his halberd high, Shangguan Renqing shouted wildly.
The bodyguards swarmed up and escorted Shangguan Renqing away from Juechen, even though it was a short-lived Juechen.
Xiang Zhenkui arrived soon after. The Zhou army, numbering more than 200,000, was advancing rapidly.
After fifteen miles, ten miles, eight miles, and six miles, Shangguan Renqing could not escape. The Tang army that withdrew from Ansu County was completely surrounded by the Zhou army.
The remaining 60,000 to 70,000 defeated generals, surrounded by three times the number of Zhou troops, had no way to go from heaven to earth.
Suddenly a puff of smoke and dust rose up from the horizon. Then an army of cavalry rushed out of the horizon. They came roaring like a tide. The sound of galloping horses got closer and closer, getting louder and louder, and gradually became deafening. The earth shook violently at this moment.
.
The sound of the horns blown by the Zhou army hurriedly resounded throughout the wilderness.
Congratulations, the Puma Cavalry finally appears!
The Zhou army, which had been well prepared, quickly divided into two parts. The larger part formed more than a dozen square formations, and a solid shield wall was built in front of the smaller part.
Various chariots were pushed to the front of the formation, and hundreds of crossbows were lined up in a row, their mouths wide open. In the battle formation, tens of thousands of crossbowmen were ready to go.
Zhu Biao's cavalry came in a mighty manner. Hundreds of red and purple battle flags were flying in the wind, with momentum like a rainbow.
"Shoot..." Without waiting for Zhu Biao's cavalry army to approach, Xiang Zhenkui ordered some of the crossbows to fire. This round of radiation could not hit Zhu Biao's army at all, but it was a big blow to Zhou's own morale.
Inspire.
In an instant, arrows were like locusts, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
"Woo...Woo..."
The trumpet sounds.
The cavalry army gradually slowed down, and dozens of cavalry rushed out first, approaching the enemy position to observe.
Gray dust and fog swept over the sky, and the sky suddenly became dark.
Some of the Zhou troops in front of Chen Yan were shocked. The leading general did not wait to send an order to Zhen Kui, but ordered and shouted, "Shoot, keep shooting..."
The dust was so obscured that it was difficult to see clearly even thirty steps in front of the formation.
The sharp whistle of arrows and crossbows instantly became loud.
The horn sounded again, the smoke became even bigger, and the roar of galloping war horses surrounded it. Zhu Zhong, who only had 10,000 riders, could not rush into the formation immediately. He only led his cavalry to gallop back and forth around the Zhou army's battle formation, doing things from time to time.
They were about to attack, forcing the main infantry of the Zhou army to hold on to the battle formation, lest they break into the formation.
The battle situation came to a stalemate.
The 60,000 to 70,000 defeated Tang troops defended the center, and the 100,000 Zhou troops were surrounded on all sides. The 100,000 Zhou troops on the periphery formed a larger 'circle', surrounding the 100,000 Zhou troops that were besieging them.
Zhu Zhong's 10,000 cavalry were like a thin but tough chain, completely binding together the two layers of 200,000 Zhou troops inside and outside.
The time remained deadlocked until noon.
The 100,000 Zhou troops in the inner circle could not defeat the 60,700 to 70,000 Tang troops who had regained hope and regained their morale.
Although the 100,000 Zhou troops in the outer circle also sent cavalry to fight and drive away Zhu Zhong's troops, it was obvious that even the most elite imperial cavalry under Xiang Zhenkui's command was no match for Zhu Zhong in the fight.
On the horizon due east, a dust mist quietly rose. This dust mist grew larger and larger, gradually covering up the blue sky and gray-yellow land between the horizons.
"Woo hoo..." The passionate sound of war drums immediately resounded across the wilderness.
On the west side, shouts of horror suddenly came from the Zhou army's battle formation, and Xiang Zhenkui and others turned their heads and looked sideways.
Directly in the western sky, a puff of smoke rose into the sky, rolling violently in the sky like dark clouds before a thunderstorm, and quickly spreading to all directions.
Xiang Zhenkui's expression changed, he felt slightly nervous, and his breathing began to quicken.
"Don't panic, don't panic." Xiang Zhenkui waved his hands vigorously to calm the mood of the surrounding soldiers, "This is a bluff, a bluff. We have more than 200,000 troops, and they will not be our opponents."
The sound spread far away, but can it calm the wavering military morale?
The attire of Zhu Biao's 10,000 cavalrymen was not that of the Zhou army. With those red military flags and jerseys, anyone with a lot of brains would know that they were the Northern Han army from the north.
The general said to Xiang Zhenkui in a low voice: "General, should we release Shangguan Renqing's tens of thousands of defeated soldiers?"
As a close confidant of Xiang Zhenkui, the general knew that the army was about to face a total of 150,000 cavalry. Can an army of 100,000 stalemate running around all morning withstand the attacking cavalry of 150,000 cavalry?
The wind this morning was terrible. Besides, I left the camp early in the morning before I had time to eat, and pursued the Tang army. The victory was not obvious yet, but I tried my best. The situation changed, and everyone felt cold again.
Hungry again.
"The soldiers have been running around all morning without even drinking a sip of hot soup. In terms of physical strength... they cannot compare with the rebel army..."
Xiang Zhenkui also realized that there was something he had not considered. He frowned and imagined the general's proposal. However, the 60,000 to 70,000 Tang troops in the circle had changed.
I don't know whether it was Shangguan Renqing who sensed the arrival of reinforcements, or whether the cavalry outside communicated with the people inside through flags. With their move, Xiang Zhenkui no longer had any plans.
A sense of crisis came over him. Xiang Zhenkui felt that he had been 'trapped'.
The reason why he knew that there were 150,000 cavalrymen on his side and still pursued Shangguan Renqing relentlessly was because he was not convinced by Zhu Biao's rumored reputation.
Hu Qi, Zhongshan Army, Zhao Army, as a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a general of the Celestial Kingdom, he couldn't bear to look at them. This was completely cultivated by the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.
A kind of 'arrogant' heart.
The evidence is that the Northern Xinjiang Army went north and won consecutive battles. And he led troops to fight against the Tang Army and won again and again. So he looked down upon him! He didn't think Zhu Biao's reputation was genuine.
Even Zhu Biao's trip to Kaizhou and the fighting along the way were attributed to the disappearing Song army by Xiang Zhenkui.
In short, Xiang Zhenkui does not think that Zhu Biao is truly a famous general that is hard to find in the world. He thinks that he is not inferior to Zhu Biao, and even beats him.
The second is that he believes in the soldiers and horses under his command.
I believe that the 200,000 troops under my command can withstand the sudden attack of 150,000 cavalry.
But now Xiang Zhenkui suddenly realized that the two hundred thousand elite soldiers under his command had unknowingly turned into a tired and hungry army.
He felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
But if he can still combine the inner and outer armies into one as he wishes at this time, then Shangguan Renqing inside and the Dongxi Cavalry outside will be complete fools.
Shangguan Renqing is not a fool. He alone has firmly restrained the 100,000 Zhou troops from the inner circle. In the next half hour, Xiang Zhenkui tried his best to mobilize 20,000 Zhou troops to add troops from the inner circle.
Enter the outer circle.
Xiang Zhenkui could already hear the growling sounds of the stomachs of the soldiers. In fact, every soldier in Zhou Dynasty had a ration belt, but it was winter now. The bread was so hard that it could be used as bricks, and the rice balls were so hard that they could be used as grenades. I chewed a little bit hard and put it in my mouth, but I couldn't soften it even if I didn't take any time.
The soldiers on the flanks of the battle formation suddenly let out an even more frightened shout, and then the shouts came one after another, rising like waves and spreading throughout the entire army.
Xiang Zhenkui and everyone were shocked and looked up to the north.
A huge cloud of smoke slowly rose into the sky. It was like a howling ghost wind, vaguely carrying the sound of wind and thunder, sweeping in. It was more like a gray monster, roaring all the way, and the vast smoke and dust came in an unimaginable way. It grew rapidly and swallowed up the blue sky, white clouds and vast earth unscrupulously.
"General, the north, the north is coming too..."
Xiang Zhenkui's vest felt cold, and a bone-chilling chill instantly hit his whole body. His hands and feet became stiff as if they couldn't control his movements. He roared, his whole body filled with courage, and the cloak behind him swayed fiercely.
In the northern sky, this smoke was like a flame in a strong wind, rolling and burning violently along the horizon, covering half of the sky in an instant, and its momentum was far greater than the east and west wings.
As a general with an army of 200,000 to 300,000, Xiang Zhenkui had never had the experience of commanding 100,000 cavalry. He had never even seen a scene of 100,000 cavalry assembled except in the training ground during the Autumn Exercises.
But what kind of venue is the Land of Autumn Exercise? How can running with a hundred thousand riders compare with running in the wild?
Countless Zhou soldiers were stunned at this moment. They opened their eyes wide and looked around, and suddenly discovered that the entire horizon had been swept by smoke and dust. This overwhelming smoke and dust was constantly eating away at the blue sky and winter above their heads with the help of the wind. Approaching his lone army.
Yes, alone. Under such a huge momentum, even the Zhou soldiers knew that they had 200,000 people, so they couldn't help but feel like this.
The military formation began to become chaotic, with fear on the faces of the soldiers. Everyone was shrouded in the shadow of death, and the rumble of horse hooves was quietly lost in the huge smoke and dust.
"Woo... Wu..." Trumpets sounded everywhere, resounding throughout the sky.
Zhu Biao rushed up the slope with his horse and looked up at the battlefield.
More than 100,000 cavalry were arrayed between the sky and the earth, with flags ringing, like raging flames burning on three sides, surrounding the Zhou army, leaving only the way out to the south open.
In the central area within a three-mile radius, the Tang army began to shrink its formation and form a defensive formation.
Xing Mao held high the Han army's war flag and followed Zhu Biao. Yes, he had already arrived in Hedong with Princess Yongxin, and Zhu Biao would of course accept him. Although he had not shown his face openly, after all, he had assassinated Anping Hou Yunhan, and Zhu Biao Biao wanted to give the court some face no matter what. But when Xing Mao stood next to Zhu Biao wearing a mask and holding his axe, wouldn't anyone be able to recognize him from his weapon and size?
Impossible. Xing Tianxiao could tell Xing Mao's identity at a glance. How could the case-handling experts under the Xing Department fail to see the reason?
It's just a tacit understanding of each other.
Zhu Biao gave Yun Han a big gift on his birthday, and his troops withdrew from Chuyunkou. After the autumn harvest, Luobei County was completely handed over to the imperial court.
Ma Yishan, who had previously been promoted to the position of prefect of Luobei County by Zhu Biao, was transferred to the General's Mansion. However, the court liked him very much. Not counting Luobei County, Pingchuan and Shanyang counties had shocked Peiping in recent years. Eyeballs all over the place. Zhu Biao's farming in these two counties actually produced a thousand catties per mu...
Now, this geomantic treasure land has finally been obtained, and hundreds of thousands of villagers have been incorporated into civilian households. Zhu Biao has set up a manor outside Hedong County! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian
