Four people in Bajiedu had already been defeated. Seeing that they were about to be restrained by the leader of the fighting generals sent by Xiao Tang, the corners of Gao Qiu's eyes couldn't help but twitch, and his expression looked extremely cruel.
All the veteran generals in the army who made many military exploits during the reign of the late emperor are nothing more than expired trash!
Gao Qiu cursed in his heart. He fought against Xiao Tang's bandit leaders in the eighth quarter, and now half of them have been defeated. As for Wang Huan and Han Cunbao, although they are still fighting fiercely, they have been suppressed by the other side. Well, Zhemo, the fighting general in front of the formation, will also be completely defeated, which will only further damage the morale of our own troops.
Fortunately, I didn't expect you guys to be useful from the beginning, but now that Xiaotang traitor has joined the battle, which is exactly what I want!
Gao Qiu thought hard, then made another gesture with a gloomy face.
Although both armies were on their own alerts when fighting generals, the distance between the sixteen cavalry and the fighting position in the middle was two to three hundred paces. They were both outside the range of both sides. If the other side moved slightly, the other side would be aware of it and respond. Time to coordinate with your own generals.
However, most of the crossbowmen deployed in front of the formation under the command of Gao Qiu were armed with divine arm bows that could shoot more than 240 steps.
Secretly ordered the crossbowmen of the teams to move forward quickly. At most, they would fire one round, and the rebel army would inevitably react. The battle between generals that was supposed to be fighting against each other might immediately turn into a battle between the two armies. But at least They are still capturing the people who are fighting, at least there are no other soldiers and guards around them at the moment.
Especially Xiao Tang, the leader of the rebel bandit, is currently fighting fiercely with Wang Huan and has no time to care about him!
As for Wang Huan and Han Cunbao who were fighting in the battle group, they would also face surprise volleys from the divine arm bows when they were waiting for the battle, but how could Gao Qiu care?
Not to mention Zhang Kai and other green-forest gangster leaders who were originally recruited by the imperial court. Although Wang Huan had repeatedly made military exploits, they were only supported by prostitutes and joined the army in the border court. They were powerless figures in the imperial court. Even Han Cunbao and others Han Qi's direct descendants, as well as Yang Wen's so-called descendants of the generals of the Yang family, came to Gao Qiu, who was being favored by the saints. These outdated people had been idle in Bianjing for a long time, and it was not a problem to have them manipulated at will. Others. The courtiers felt that they had their own foundation in the court and could not be easily moved. However, Gao Qiu now had the power to go on an expedition. Han Cunbao, Yang Wen and other official descendants could easily be killed if they said they would kill them. Now they even have the opportunity to plan and kill them in front of the formation. Xiao Tang, why do you care about their life and death?
Gao Qiu gave the order, and Sun Jing, the staff beside him, frowned, but remained silent. Because he had long known that Gao Qiu also planned to take advantage of the war to kill Xiao Tang, and Gao Taiwei also planned to completely ignore it. These military veterans are destined to die...
Although it was a bit clumsy to take advantage of the opportunity to plot against these Jiedu envoys, Sun Jing knew very well that although Gao Qiu was kind to him, he was still righteous and had to retaliate. People like Wang Huan had conflicts with Xiao Tang in the past. Of course, Gao Qiu, who is close to him, does not want to see him either overtly or covertly, but after all, he is an official and a military envoy. Of course, it cannot be as easy as persecuting low-ranking officers in the ordinary palace. But now Gao Qiu is outside. In charge of the military power, Wang Huan and others had no real power even though they were officials and military governors and had rich titles and salaries. Gao Qiu was not at ease when allocating troops and horses to them. He was both suspicious and suspicious of these former generals who were unwilling to fawn over him. It's resentment, so if you coerce Wang Huan and others to come to conquer Xiao Tang, how should you use these guys?
Now that the veteran is useless and cannot hurt Xiao Tang and the other bandit leaders who came to challenge him, then why not take advantage of this moment to make a sneak attack...
Sun Jing understood Gao Qiu's thoughts, and Gao Qiu even thought that if Wang Huan and his men died here, I could still guarantee that the imperial court would count you as sacrificing your life for the country. Regardless of the lives of military lieutenants and generals, he killed them all. Did the incident spread to Bianjing? The Song Dynasty originally valued literature over military affairs. To put it bluntly, the Ten Festivals were just a group of common men in the army who had some weight during the reign of the late emperor, but are now looked down upon by the officials. If they were like Tong Guan, he was scheming. The Tingxi Army is like those generals who have been deeply rooted in the army for generations, so I naturally have to make plans. However, the former chief of the Bianjing Palace is the sole leader of my family. These have no real power and are usually idle in the capital. Even if I live or die, am I, Gao Qiu, still afraid of being impeached and sued? If you want to poke my spine and scold me, when will I, Gao Qiu, care about this?
Suddenly an order was given, and the team of more than ten hundred people immediately stepped forward and immediately moved forward to fight Xiao Tang, Wang Huan, Lu Junyi, Han Cunbao and others who were still fighting fiercely. They looked at them and passed by!
"Old thief Gao Qiu really has another evil plan!"
Xu Guanzhong, Yan Qing and others, who followed Xiao Tang's instructions to pay careful attention to the movements of the enemy troops on the opposite side, suddenly saw the crossbowmen in the front line of the army running forward together. They saw that they were about to stand still and fire their hand-held weapons at the center of the confrontation between the two armies. Everyone's expressions changed when the Divine Arms bowed! The cavalry archers on both wings of the army immediately shot out, and a large number of archers pressed forward in the center. Under the urgent orders of the leader, they opened their bows and nocked arrows, preparing to attack Zheng Yu. The crossbowmen of the sneak attack launched a counterattack. However, the soldiers of Xiaotang's army who suddenly rushed forward from the central army were holding long bows. Compared with the crossbows held by the surprise attack on the opposite side, the range of the divine arm bows (crossbows) was even worse. , and can only attack the enemy by projectile.
Gao Qiu regarded the lives of Wang Huan and others as nothing, but Xiao Tang's soldiers and horses were unable to ignore the lives of his brothers and even the brothers who were still fighting. After all, the shooting method of the divine arm bow was to shoot straight, and the bow in Xiao Tang's army was Although crossbowmen are also equipped with divine arm crossbows, they cannot immediately launch a counterattack from the front to the enemy on the opposite side. Otherwise, more than a thousand powerful crossbows and sharp arrows from both sides will be fired back and forth, wouldn't it mean that all those who are still fighting in the middle will be killed? Shoot all the generals into sieves!?
Therefore, even if the leaders of Xiao Tang's subordinates who were watching the battle were on guard, the crossbowmen of the government and army teams who suddenly attacked under Gao Qiu's orders still had time to fire a round of powerful crossbow volleys.
There were waves of sharp screams, and a flurry of crossbow bolts came out in response to the string. They did not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy at all, but fired at all the generals in the open space between the two armies!
At this time, Yang Wen, who was still fighting fiercely with Yang Zhi, was shocked to hear the shrill sound of breaking wind on the other side of his army formation. His expression changed immediately, and when he immediately looked back, he saw the sharp arrows like locusts. If it was his reaction If you slow down for a moment, I'm afraid that several crossbow arrows will have pierced your back!
Yang Wen quickly turned around and danced with his gun to block the incoming sharp arrows. If he felt something, he shouted loudly: "Gao Qiu! Are you really so vicious..."
But before Yang Wen finished speaking, he suddenly heard two muffled sounds of "Puff". He suddenly felt numb all over his body. When he lowered his head to look, he saw that two crossbow arrows had been inserted into his left shoulder. The wounds that were as deep as Yu made Yang Wen. All the strength in Wen's body was drained away like a tide.
The attack of the divine arm bow was so fierce and fast that it was caught off guard and Yang Wen's shoulder was injured, so his movements couldn't help but become sluggish. Immediately, bright red blood spattered again, and not only Yang Wen's left leg was pierced by the crossbow arrow.
Through it, the war horse under its crotch was immediately pierced by six or seven sharp arrows. It let out a mournful hiss and was about to fall to the ground at the sight of it!
As his body fell, Yang Wen, who was seriously injured, could only wave the spear in his hand to block it. However, the spear in his hand, which was the most convenient, became extremely heavy at this time. Finally, there was still a sharp crossbow that Yang Wen could not swing in panic.
The spear was knocked down, making a soul-stirring whistling sound, and was about to pierce Yang Wen's forehead at the sight of it!
At that time, my Yang family ancestor, Ling Gong, was coerced by a traitor and was killed by Wang Qian, a stubborn thief...My ancestors of the Yang family fought to the death for the country and were destroyed with all their strength.
Death, why don't I want to follow Gao Qiu's example and die with hatred?
Yang Wen thought desperately in his heart, but just when he knew that he was going to die, he suddenly felt that his vision went dark. In an instant, the shadow of a gun shot down the crossbow arrows aimed at Yang Wen. However, there was no one else nearby, so he immediately stopped and rescued Yang
The person who warmed his life was Yang Zhi, who had just had a fierce battle with him.
