Chapter 172 Han Shizhong forces to capture Fang La
Fang La saw the overwhelming Song Dynasty officers and soldiers charging towards him from three directions. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "The sky will not bless me Fang La. Kyushu will last forever like a long night!"
Fang La saw the tens of thousands of defeated rebels under his command, as well as less than 300 dead soldiers who followed him. He knew that with an outnumbered enemy, fighting would lead to death, but escaping might still have a chance of survival.
Fang La hurriedly turned the horse's head with the reins. He clamped the horse with his legs and held the sword with both hands. The nearly 300 cavalry nurses around him shouted: "Retreat with me!"
"drive!"
Fang La's war horse neighed, raised its hooves, and galloped away.
The cavalry protecting Fang La followed closely behind.
At this time, Fang La's cavalry, as well as the deserters fleeing on foot in front of them, waved their weapons and killed each other when they encountered anyone blocking the way, just to gain a way out of the pursuit of the Song Dynasty official army.
Fang La's fleeing cavalry, their horses' hoofs trampled on the corpses of his rebels, and galloped forward...
At this time, Liu Yanqing, the commander of the left route army of the Western Army, saw that Fang La and his cavalry had fled, and immediately said to his son Liu Guangshi:
"My son, quickly lead five hundred cavalry to hunt down the thief leader Fang La. If you shoot or capture the thief leader alive, this will be your first achievement. It will be enough to bring glory to the lintel of my Liu family, and it will also save you from fighting to the death in the northwest battlefield."
ten years!"
Liu Shiguang, who was riding on the Magnolia White Dragon Horse, was waiting for this opportunity to make his first contribution. He shouted to the 500 elite cavalrymen carefully selected by his father for him:
"Follow me and charge forward, catch up with Fang La's defeated troops, and capture the thief's leader Fang La alive! Charge!"
"drive!"
"drive……"
Liu Guangshi's five hundred elite cavalry followed Liu Guangshi and chased him forward.
Liu Guangshi was riding on the Magnolia White Dragon Horse, but he did not dare to completely let go of the horse's speed.
After all, as the second-generation general, Liu Guangshi cherishes his life very much. If he lets go of the speed of his horse, then his magnolia and white dragon horse, which he got from the Western Regions, can run as fast as those under his command.
One and a half times the speed of a cavalry horse.
Under the protection of five hundred elite cavalry, Liu Guangshi chased the fleeing cavalry of Fang La while firing arrows from his horse and shooting forward. He showed no mercy when encountering those who dared to resist on the way.
Behead and kill...
"Charge and kill!"
Liu Guangshi heard the cry of killing not far away. He turned around and saw that it was Wang Yuan, the general of the Western Army's Left Route Army, and the more than 400 cavalry he led. He was barely a few dozen feet behind them.
Chasing the defeated cavalry of Fang La.
Originally, Wang Yuan led a total of five hundred cavalry at the beginning. However, on the battlefield, he first fought against Fang Baihua's army, and then was responsible for attacking the camp of the Fang La bandit army. Since it was the Fang La bandit army,
Wang Yuansuo's combat effectiveness was still somewhat compromised in the battle between the re-armies.
In fact, when Liu Guangshi's 500 cavalry fought against Fang Baihua's bandit army, more than 100 cavalry were killed or wounded but did not fight. However, his father, Liu Yanqing, who was in charge of the left wing of the Western Army, temporarily stopped fighting on the battlefield.
His second son Liu Guangshi was assigned as a cavalry officer, and he was asked to lead 500 elite cavalrymen to pursue Fang La.
"Kill, kill!"
The right wing of the Western Army controlled Yang Weizhong's troops. Under the leadership of the commander Yang Weizhong, thousands of cavalry were also chasing him, almost a few feet away, along the route where the Fang La bandit cavalry fled.
Liu Guangshi, who was riding on the Magnolia White Dragon Horse and carrying a bright silver spear, saw that the 48-year-old Yang Weizhong was still so personally commanding his cavalry to pursue Fang La. He spat hard and cursed in his heart:
"Yang Weizhong, you old guy, do you still want to be old-fashioned? As the commander of the left wing of the Northwest Army, you also competed with our young people for the military merit of capturing the leader of the thief Fang La. You old guy is really shameless!
Yang Weizhong, won't you imitate my father and sit in the rear to command the overall situation?
The matter of capturing Fang La alive can be left to my young general!"
However, Liu Guangshi knew that he had no anger in his heart and had no choice. Anyone could achieve this great feat of capturing Fang La, the leader of the thief.
What's more, Liu Guangshi also knew that it was the left and right armies of the West Route Army and the cavalry of the Forbidden Army Wang Zhen. These three armies worked together to pursue the Fang La bandit army, so that the bandit army could see the power of the Song army and not fight.
He was so obsessed with fighting here that he ran away southward.
However, Liu Guangshi secretly thought: "I am not too worried about other people joining the battle to chase Fang La's defeated troops. Most of them will be able to capture Fang La alive by then."
As long as the Po Han Wu who dares to risk his life does not come to disrupt the situation, the person who pursues and captures Fang La alive is undoubtedly Liu Guangshi!"
Thinking about this, Liu Guangshi shouted:
"If our cavalry is faster, we will definitely capture Fang La, the leader of the thief."
"As you command!"
"drive……"
"drive……"
However, as soon as Liu Guangshi finished speaking, he galloped forward on horseback while turning back to see if the cavalry behind him had followed.
Suddenly, Liu Guangshi's face became extremely ugly.
He saw that more than 200 paces away from the right rear of his troops, Han Shizhong led more than 30 cavalrymen, with a total of nearly 100 horses, charging towards him.
Whatever Liu Guangshi is afraid of, he will do whatever he wants.
He was suspicious in his heart: Wasn't Han Shizhong ordered by my father to return to Nancheng in the name of recuperating the exhausted army and escorting the female marshal Fang Baihua of the bandit army?
Of course, because after Liu Guangshi led his troops to fight with Fang Baihua's troops, he returned to his headquarters and was with his father Liu Yanqing. He learned that Han Shizhong had been left by Zhao Guan's family through the detective horse in Nancheng who was traveling to and from the battlefield to exchange military information.
Together with the officials from the Imperial City Department, they escorted the convoy.
Now, why did Han Shizhong come to join in the pursuit of Fang La, who was fleeing?
Could it be that the Zhao Guan family allowed Han Shizhong to go to the battlefield again to pursue Fang La?
Liu Guangshi's guess was correct.
Half a quarter of an hour ago, Zhao Guan's house, which was protected by Wang Zhen's imperial army, saw the camp of tens of thousands of bandits set up by Fang La more than a mile outside the south city of Hangzhou. After being so vulnerable to a blow from the Song army,
He glanced at Han Shizhong, who was riding on Wu Zhui Zhan Wan and stretching his neck forward not far from him.
Zhao Ji knew that Han Shizhong, a brave general like Han Shizhong, who was the best in the three armies, must be very anxious that he could not participate in the battle. However, Han Shizhong had received the oracle to protect him, so he could not resist and lead his cavalry to charge into the battle.
As a time traveler, Zhao Ji knew that in history, the people who captured Fang La alive,
It's not like "Wu Song captured Fang La with one arm" as compiled in "Water Margin".
It was Han Shizhong, a little-known general named Han Shizhong who was a member of Liu Yanqing's command on the left side of the Western Army, who captured Fang La alive.
Historically, after Fang La was defeated in the army, he took his wife Shao, his son Fang Hao, Prime Minister Fang Fei and other fifty-two people to hide in the stone stream (cave) of Zitongdong in his hometown. Fang La, who was familiar with the local terrain, hid in the cave.
Geng led the way, and Han Shizhong led the Song army with less than a hundred men. They took a path covered with thorns from the mountain and climbed a steep cliff to collect herbs before suddenly arriving at the stone stream of Zitongdong where Fang La, his family and bodyguards were hiding.
, capture them all.
It is a pity that traitors were in power at that time. In history, Han Shizhong captured Fang La's queen alive, and his superiors took the credit for himself!
Even though the world of the Song Dynasty that I traveled to created a butterfly effect after my arrival, many things changed. For example, the Fangla Uprising in the southeast, according to historical development, should have happened in the third year of Xuanhe next year.
It took hundreds of thousands of troops to put it down.
However, after I, the time-traveler, arrived, I had the advance prediction of Fang La's uprising, so I was able to dispatch troops and generals in advance. Not only did I not let Fang La lead his troops to attack Hangzhou, the most important city in the southeast, but he was still in Hangzhou.
In the south of the city, Fang La's troops were severely defeated.
In this battle, almost three-quarters of Fang La's main bandit army were annihilated and captured, and the vitality of Fang La's bandit army was seriously damaged. If Fang La, the leader of the bandit, can be killed or captured alive in this battle, then,
It can be declared that Fang La in the southeast has completely failed.
Zhao Ji looked at Han Shizhong, who was the brave champion of the three armies. He believed in the providence of God! The hero who could really capture Fang La alive in history should be able to capture Fang La alive in a different place now.
Therefore, Zhao Ji pointed at Han Shizhong and said: "I order good ministers to go to war and try to capture the leader of the thief alive!"
