Chapter 847 In the sixth year of Yuanwu, Zhu Biao was twenty-nine
Four spears stabbed leisurely, two pierced the belly of Zhu Zhong's horse, and two thrust into Zhu Zhong's body. The horse neighed in pain, and its huge body burst out with the last force, and slammed into the enemy horse.
The spear was high, and Zhu Zhong flew up, but it was not his body. Protected by Han Chi's inner armor, Zhu Zhong withstood the piercings of the two spears. He swung his sword down, and in the vast wind and snow, blood beads all over the sky turned into
There are some gorgeous blood flowers.
"Kill, kill..." The soldiers behind them were filled with jealousy. They wished they could grow countless arms, wings, and kill all the enemies in front of them with one shot. "Kill..."
The spears were like lightning, flying up and down, invincible to those who stood in their way. However, the soldiers could not kill all the Zhou troops within ten feet in an instant. They could only watch Zhu Zhong fall and be killed by countless people.
Zhou army soldiers surrounded him.
The soldiers are even more crazy...
What responded to the craziness of the soldiers was Zhu Zhong's madness! The broadsword was like a harvester, harvesting the heads of dozens of enemies.
Killing one person in ten steps can only be used to describe Jianghu people. On the battlefield, that is killing ten people in one step!
The Zhou army cavalry lost their way. They rushed left and right, cutting down enemies one after another, but they could not see the way to break out. Clusters of Tang army cavalry surrounded them on three sides, while thousands of troops led by Xing Mao were behind them.
Having so many personal guards was a terror that the Zhou cavalry could not avoid.
"Go forward, go forward..." The commander of the Zhou army shouted at the panicked soldiers, praying to God to bless him and break out of the siege.
Zhu Hong and his elite troops charged in head-on. They were like a pack of hungry wild wolves, slaying fiercely and biting with all their might. With Xing Mao's assistants, the Zhou army's cavalry, which clearly exceeded half of the Han and Tang cavalry, was quickly lost.
Disastrous. The number of troops dropped rapidly.
The heavy losses also severely damaged the confidence of the Zhou army soldiers, and the formation was shaky.
The encirclement narrowed little by little, and the Zhou army's cavalry fell down in pieces. The galloping horses and shouting soldiers. The fresh lives turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Jun's liver and gallbladder were broken, the brave ones were still fighting desperately, while the timid ones already had the idea of surrender.
Zhu Hong commanded the cavalry of the Tang army to pursue and intercept them, trapping them. The Zhou army was severely surrounded. The heroic Zhou army cavalry fought bravely and fought fiercely, but not only died one after another, but also dragged the Tang army's cavalry to death.
The overall situation has not changed at all.
When the leading general of the Zhou army died in the battle, more than 5,000 Zhou soldiers put down their swords and guns. The Zhou soldiers lost their leader. The remaining more than 1,000 soldiers who did not surrender were divided and surrounded by Tang cavalry in the blink of an eye.
All dead and wounded.
"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet..." Zhu Hong galloped on his horse, raised his arms and shouted, "Reform the queue, reorganize the queue..."
Zhu Tong commanded the Hedong cavalry to attack fiercely. As long as the Zhou army broke through the middle battlefield and the large group of troops joined the main army on the battlefield, the army would control the entire battlefield. In this way, victory was guaranteed, and the 100,000 Zhou army would be defeated in one battle.
Certainly.
Under the command of a general flag with Yang characters and a yellow character flag, the Zhou army's infantry resisted tenaciously, not giving in a step, and resisted the flank attack. Although they suffered heavy casualties, more than half of them were killed in the battle.
Huang Zi's flag fell down, and among the corpses of Zhou Jun's infantry, a corpse of about fifty years old lay in a pool of blood. A spear pierced his body and nailed him directly to the ground.
Two quarters of an hour later, General Yang's flag also fell. A fish-scale figure died, falling under the iron hooves of the Hedong cavalry.
Long arrows pinned him to the snow, surrounded by piles of corpses of Zhou army soldiers. A military commander led the remaining two thousand Zhou soldiers in the front line to launch a final counterattack.
Zhu Biao, Zhu Zhong, and Dou Bing each led their cavalry. They attacked vertically and horizontally, like sharp blades, cutting off the flesh and blood of the Zhou army layer by layer.
The Zhou army suffered heavy casualties, but the tenacity of the general Liu Xingzhao allowed them to persevere in the bloodshed.
"Hold it, hold it..." Liu Xingzhao kept shouting wildly. He could not charge into the formation and take the lead, but the general's flag was placed at the Crane Wing formation and remained motionless.
The roar of the war horses shook the vast snowy field.
But under the supervision of Liu Xingzhao, the Zhou army stood proudly in the stormy waves like a pillar in the rolling torrent.
Zhu Biao twice attacked Liu Xingzhao's general flag, but was blocked by the surging Zhou army. Corpses were paving the way for each group, and blood flowed into rivers. Zhu Biao let go of his hands and feet, killing and killing.
After the horse, there are hundreds of heads rolling in, which can be counted in hundreds.
However, the number of soldiers who came forward from the Zhou army was counted in thousands.
Therefore, Zhu Biao was never able to capture Liu Xingzhao's general flag.
The Hedong cavalry launched a tidal wave of offensives. Each wave hit the Zhou army's battle formation hard. The Zhou army struggled to hold on and suffered heavy losses. But because of Liu Xingzhao's tenacity, he was injured but not in chaos.
.
"Put up a warning flag, ask for help, ask for help, ask the general for help..."
A general in scaly armor, supported by two personal guards, staggered to the center of the right formation of the central army, and shouted at the general standing under the banner of General Wang, "Ask for help from the general, we
I can’t hold it anymore, I can’t hold it anymore.”
General Wang's face was as cold as frost, and he glared at the visitor, as if he wanted to eat him in one bite. "Where are your people? Where are your troops?"
"It's gone, it's gone. It's all over. After it's over, I'm the only one left..." Laiyu pushed the guard away excitedly, and suddenly pulled off the long arrow from his shoulder blade, and blood spurted out from left and right.
The two guards were horrified and rushed forward to hold the wound firmly. However, the general waved his arms in despair, "If we continue to fight, everyone will die. Please call for help. Please ask for help from the central formation."
"There are no reinforcements. The center is empty. There are no reinforcements." General Wang took a step forward, approached the visitor, and roared angrily, "The battle has reached this point. The only one you can rely on is yourself. Get back to the front line."
.If you die, I will collect your body. If you are alive, we will drink the blood of the traitor together."
"Fight to the death, fight to the death." General Wang raised his hands and shouted, "Those who retreat will be killed without mercy."
The general turned around with difficulty, his whole body trembling, his shoulders bleeding profusely, "Kill me back." He rushed out with a dozen personal guards, and without hesitation rushed into the battlefield, which was full of melee and smoke.
Zhu Biao's cavalry army roared in like a river bursting its banks. The general and more than a dozen personal guards were like duckweeds in the waves, disappearing in an instant in the turbulent tide.
General Wang's eyes were moist. He beat the war drum desperately, roared at the top of his lungs, and let the tears roll down.
"Kill..." The generals and soldiers of the Zhou army roared like thunder, fighting fiercely. The fearlessness of the generals and soldiers in the battle aroused the blood of the Zhou army. No matter how long this blood can last, anyway, the blood in their bodies at this moment
It was boiling, the anger in their hearts was burning, so the Zhou army's right formation launched a brave counterattack.
"Reform queue...Reform queue."
The war horse stood upright, with its neck raised and neighing. Zhu Hong was hanging in the air. He waved his troops and shouted wildly, "Brothers, follow me and kill, the horse will trample the Zhou army, the horse will trample the Zhou army..."
Groups of Tang Army cavalry galloped, and each cone-shaped battle formation quickly took shape.
The entire Zhou army's battle formation was in danger. Liu Xingzhao's muscles were all tense. If Zhu Hong succeeded, everything would be over.
Zhu Hong decisively decided to attack the Zhou army's rear formation. There were too many people and horses in the Zhou army's central army. It would be of great benefit to the battlefield if they joined in, but if they could break through the Zhou army's fragile rear formation, they could also sweep away the young men who were accompanying the Zhou army.
, and then turned the troops to stab the Zhou army in the chrysanthemum. It was more powerful than the current attack that only blocked the middle of the Zhou army.
"Go, go..." Zhu Hong kicked the war horse fiercely and pointed his weapon forward, "Kill, kill..."
Together with the personal guards of the Xingmao Department, nearly ten thousand Han and Tang cavalry troops surged like a thunderous force, rolling up snow and fog, roaring all the way, and inserted directly into the rear of the Zhou army.
"Boom..." There was a loud noise. The guard cavalry led by Xing Mao was used as a cone head. It was completely devastating and penetrated into the abdomen of the Zhou army's rear array. The Zhou army's rear array trembled violently. It was just a single impact.
.suffered heavy losses.
The horns sounded rapidly, one after another. The commander of the Zhou army's rear formation changed his color in shock, and repeatedly ordered, "Block them, block... cut off the enemy's formation, cut them off..."
But Zhu Hong would give them a chance. The Tang army, which numbered as many as 8,000 cavalry, had already attacked fiercely, and the entire Zhou army's rear formation collapsed.
The horses were galloping on the snow, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting with all their strength. The roar, the sound of fighting, and the entanglement were mixed together, which was thrilling.
Liu Xingzhao panted violently, and he took the lead. Since the rear formation was destroyed, Liu Xingzhao had completely given up the hope in his heart. At this moment, he only thought about leading as many soldiers as possible to kill the rebels before dying in battle.
He continued to charge at the front. His broadsword was already stained with the flesh and blood of the Han and Tang cavalry. His physical strength had reached its limit, and his internal strength was also close to the bottom line. However, the army of hundreds of thousands in total was still fighting after nearly half of it was lost.
Just this, he is happy and proud.
He felt that he could hardly lift the sword. But the enemies in front were still swarming up and attacking desperately. Crossbows, spears, swords and axes were like rain, overwhelming and overwhelming.
One of the guards guarding the front fell down, and another fell down. "Kill..." Liu Xingzhao used all his strength to cut the big knife into the chest of a Hedong Army Marquis. At this moment, a
The crossbow bolt roared towards him, and Liu Xingzhao was unable to dodge. He watched helplessly as the crossbow bolt penetrated the breastplate and nailed into his chest. The severe pain caused him to scream miserably, and his strength instantly dissipated, and he could no longer handle the sword weighing forty or fifty kilograms.
Unable to hold back, he took off his hands and flew out, disappearing under the dense iron hooves along with the body of the Hedong Army Marquis.
When the guards discovered that their general had been hit by an arrow, they all shouted loudly and beat their horses to protect him.
Blood spurted out and soon dyed Liu Xingzhao's shirt red. He felt that his body was stiffening little by little, and his life was disappearing little by little. The guards kept shouting, but their voices became increasingly louder and louder.
Little Liu Xingzhao supported himself, waved to the guards, and yelled with all his strength, "Blow the trumpet, kill, kill..."
The blood flowed very fast, and he began to feel dizzy. He couldn't hold on anymore, and darkness came. Liu Xingzhao tremblingly reached out and held the long arrow. He should have died long ago, right?
If not for their own persistence, so many people in the army would not die in battle. If they died, they would let go of their burden...
Nearly half of the entire army suffered casualties, but it was still not defeated. It was just something that Liu Xingzhao could be proud of in his life, and it was also the most tragic thing!
"Kill..." The soldiers looked up to the sky and shouted wildly, "Kill... kill..." Everyone burst into tears and howled in pain.
"Kill..." The same call to kill came from the mouths of the Hedong cavalry and the Tang Army cavalry.
"Liu Xingzhao is dead, Liu Xingzhao is dead..."
The sharp-eyed cavalry of the Han and Tang Dynasties screamed and howled loudly.
The cavalry suddenly accelerated amidst thunderous roars. They fought in formations one after another, like knives. With unparalleled sharpness and majestic momentum, they roared forward, sweeping away the wind and clouds, and invincible to those who stood in their way.
Liu Xingzhao's soldiers shouted for fierce battle, and he held high the military flag with the word "Zhou" and vowed to launch a counterattack to the death.
But like a river flowing into the sea, the roaring, violent cavalry groups of the Han and Tang Dynasties set off huge waves like a sea tide, swallowing them up without even a beat.
On the snow, the war flags of the Han and Tang Dynasties soared into the sky, flying in the wind and snow.
They won this battle. Although it was tragic, they won it cleanly. One hundred thousand Zhou army's infantry and cavalry were all wiped out.
It's amazing that there were 50,000 prisoners! Not counting the more than 20,000 strong civilians who accompanied the army.
Snowflakes quickly covered the ground with a layer of white. Zhu Biao looked at the corpses of Han soldiers placed in the large open space in the square with an expressionless face.
After a long time, my face gradually showed a hint of pain. In eight days, it will be Chinese New Year!
He sent troops to Ansu to report that the battle was a victory. The next day, Zhu Biao presided over a simple funeral and buried all the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers who died in the battle on the banks of the Dingchuan River. They will choose an appropriate time to bury their remains in the future.
Moved back to Northern Han Dynasty.
The bodies of seven military officers above Sima were put into coffins. The troops were ordered to be sent back to the Northern Han Dynasty that day.
…
December 25th.
In just three days, Zhu Biao's report of three battles and three victories after entering Bozhou was sent to Peiping.
He did not submit a letter, but Shangguan Renqing would not fail to submit a letter. At the same time, the governor of Bozhou, who had withdrawn to the northern border of Bozhou, would not fail to submit a letter to Ji Fa.
The fact is that as early as the 22nd, the day when Zhu Biao fought, he defeated Xiang Zhenkui, wiped out 200,000 Zhou troops, and restored the news of Ansu County to Beijing. However, there was no official victory document.
He also believed that Zhu Biao would continue to bring surprises to him, so he suppressed the news.
Now, the news was finally released. So, the whole city of Beijing celebrated with joy.
The King of Tang also immediately issued an edict to the army and the people, decreeing heavy rewards to the frontline soldiers. He provided compensation to the fallen soldiers, and personally went to the homes of Shangguan Renqing's generals who died in battle to visit their families.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhu Biao's army spent time in Ansu County.
On New Year's Eve, the King of Tang provided 3,000 sheep, 5,000 pigs, 100 oxen, 1,000 pairs of chickens and ducks, 100 pairs of white geese, and 500 carts of fine wine. During the entire New Year period, the Hedong Cavalry Army and Zhu Wu's tribe
Tang Jun's mouth was full of food.
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, an elite infantry force of 50,000 men also marched from Youzhou into Bozhou.
Army commander Shi Li Changjun and chief clerk Dong Qiaosheng were not familiar with the former. He was on Yang Qi's line, but he had detained Bao Kanglai during the Battle of Kaizhou and helped Zhu Biao a lot. The latter was very familiar with him.
In the Battle of Kaizhou, he served as the commander-in-chief of the army, but he did a great job.
Chen An, Lu Tong, and Wu Boniu were the third among the original five generals in Kaizhou. Liu Zhuo, Jiao Hong, Jiao Ming, Chen Lian, Wang Jiuling, and Shang Pingnan were all acquaintances.
Liu Zhuo, one of the guards of the King of Song, has been doing detailed reporting work in Zhu Biao's army.
Jiao Hong, Jiao Ming brothers, and Wang Jiuling are two of his achievements. Chen Lian was captured and surrendered, and Shang Pingnan was also captured and surrendered. These two are good men who love their families.
"Haha, King Tang sent my old team here!"
Patting them on the shoulders, Zhu Biao was filled with emotion. Zhu Biao couldn't believe that they could see each other again in this troubled world.
Because as far as he knew, while he was recuperating in Beijing, all the remnants of the Song Army were integrated into the Tang Army.
Now that the war is so fierce, it is unlikely that too many middle-ranking generals such as Chen An will die on the battlefield.
"The commander-in-chief is right. As far as I know, General Zhang Nan and Zhang were killed in the northwest battlefield. General Dong Zhiping and even Governor Qu Wutong and Qu were seriously injured.
When the last general arrived from the Youzhou camp, Mr. Sun Chengmeng and Sun also sent news to Sima Cuo that General Sima had broken an arm and had retired from the army."
"The King of the Tang Dynasty was kind. Both the soldiers and the disabled were given a lot of subsidies. General Sima followed Qu in the northwest battlefield to capture the city and land, and he also collected some money. Otherwise, he will spend the rest of his life..."
Chen An in reality, Lu Tong in later generations. Talking about the difficulty of meeting each other, no one is dissatisfied but sighs.
Of the 50,000 infantry soldiers, tens of thousands were Kaizhou veterans who had come to northern Xinjiang with Zhu Biao. During the military parade at the school field, when Zhu Biao rode his horse past the military formation, the endless cheers that rang out in the military formation could be heard. Breaking the clouds in the sky.
20,000 heavy armor and 30,000 infantry armor. A total of eight battalions with 2,000 soldiers remaining.
According to the instructions of the King of Tang, the extra two thousand heavy armors were organized into Zhu Biao's personal army camp. Chen An, Lu Tong, and Wu Boniu led the remaining three battalions of heavy armor soldiers.
The first battalion of the Jiao brothers, Liu Zhuo, Chen Lian, Wang Jiuling, and Shang Pingnan, had five battalion heads and 30,000 regular soldiers and infantry.
There are eight battalions, each with a full strength of 6,000 troops. Unlike the Hedong Army, many battalions only have 5,000 troops.
"In future wars, we will win more with formations. The guards around us should be better trained. We only have one life. It's better to save it if you can."
Everyone is willing to take the lead on the battlefield, kill generals and seize the flag, as if they are in an uninhabited country. But you must have the ability to do so, otherwise you will be seeking death.
News came from the east that King Ning and King Liang also formally raised their troops and sent a message to Tianjing City. The situation of King Tang has become much better, but the future battles will definitely become more intense.
Several years after the war started, Tianjing single-handedly defeated the Tang, Xia, and Zheng kings, and also defeated the Song king's forces.
With most of the southeast, controlling the heart of the Central Plains, and the entire southwest as its rear, the power of the mobilized imperial court was really not something that any vassal king could resist alone.
King Liang and King Ning had been watching from the sidelines for four years, and had accumulated for four years before finally taking action. At this point, the entire feudal vassal kings of the Zhou Dynasty had all revolted.
It's a pity that the King of Xia, who was entrenched in the four states, was really weak. Not only was he beaten by Qin, but he also joined forces with the King of Tang to attack Bingzhou and other places. After several years, there was no sign of the end.
Coupled with the retreat of King Zheng and the unfavorable situation of King Tang in the frontal battlefield, the two vassals of Ning and Liang couldn't help but jump out, so it was no surprise.
Time has entered the sixth year of Yuanwu, and Zhu Biao is more than twenty-nine years old. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please
