Chapter 1364 Xiao Tang's former subordinates, the main force of Jiangnan thieves (1)
Liangzhe West Road, suburb of Changzhou.
The thunder-like sound of horse hoofs was getting closer and closer, which made Qian Zhenpeng regain his consciousness. He subconsciously clenched the long knife in his hand. When he looked across the wilderness, he saw several groups of Song troops gathering.
They formed a formation and were heading straight towards their side to kill the generals.
Are there any officers and soldiers ambushing outside the city? At this time, Qian Zhenpeng's face was stained with a lot of blood. He gritted his teeth, but he could only order the Manichaeans under his command to flee out of the city and grab their hands.
Weapons still have to give them a try with those menacing Forbidden Army troops.
Hangzhou, Shezhou, and Muzhou fell one after another, and the army that conquered the east route concentrated its forces and marched into Changzhou. Qian Zhenpeng, who was appointed by Fang La as the commander of the city defense, knew that the coming of the Imperial Army was unstoppable, but Fang La's troops were defeated by various officials.
The army was encircling and suppressing them. It was a life-and-death moment. They had to immediately abandon the city and kill the generals. They just attacked on three sides and left one side of the city gate open. Naturally, the Song army would not let the Southern army guarding Changzhou go smoothly.
Can escape.
Hysterical roars were heard, and countless Manichaeans could only follow Qian Zhenpeng and rush forward desperately. The rushing crowd formed a billowing roar. However, although the momentum was fierce, they had not yet formed a formation with the front.
The Song army was engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Yibiao Jinqi, who came from the diagonal side, took advantage of the Manichaeans' eagerness to break out of the encirclement, but fiercely intercepted them from the diagonal side, knocking the unprepared enemy generals off their feet.
The fighting became more and more fierce. Qian Zhenpeng suddenly saw a Song army general charging towards him with a gun and slapping his horse. He also roared and used the wind-splitting knife.
He urged his horse to meet the general. Two brave generals were fighting, they were rivals, and it was worth describing. But what he saw was: the cold light flashed, and murderous intent filled the air. The two horses leaped and roared, and the two generals blocked the way. The wind-throwing knife was raised.
, like meteors flying down in mid-air. The heavy iron spears are stabbing, like lightning galloping on the ground. Horse hooves stir up chaos, and clouds fly when the bells ring. The weapons are intersecting, and the murderous intent is everywhere. Gods and ghosts are afraid!
Qian Zhenpeng fought fiercely with the Song general for twenty or thirty times. Although he felt a little timid, he looked sideways and saw that his confidant Xu Ding was leading several Manichaean leaders to organize a breakout of the cult.
The rebels continued to charge and kill. Qian Zhenpeng felt a little relieved, thinking that even if he could not defeat the Song general with extravagant martial arts in front of him, he could fight against the rear and teach as many of his subordinates to flee as possible. Then he would reorganize his troops and horses.
The accomplices from other areas gathered together, and it was not impossible to deal with the Song army, and then rushed to the aid of Shenggong Fangla.
However, as the battle between Qian Zhenpeng and the Song army intercepted and killed here became more and more stalemate, horns suddenly sounded among the grass on the other side of the hillside, and two to three thousand Song army crossbowmen jumped out of the grass after listening to the orders.
, the powerful crossbow held in his hand also immediately looked at the troops and horses behind Qian Zhenpeng's command. Suddenly, there was a fierce sound and vibrato, and the dense crossbow arrows shot out in a straight trajectory, and in mid-air
A bunch of arrows shot straight into the air, forming arcs, and then smashed down on the enemies below!
Waves of sharp screams came in a moment, like raindrops, falling from the mid-air. In an instant, they fell on the heads of the Manichaeans. Groups of soldiers immediately rolled to the ground and howled hoarsely. However, the arrow
The rain poured down one after another, and more Manichaeans and rebels who lacked defensive equipment fell one by one like wheat being harvested during the autumn harvest. In just a moment, two or three people fell on the ground.
Thousands of corpses and more soldiers fell in a pool of blood. They could only cover their wounds and cry for help...
As for Xu Ding, who organized the Manichean cult to break out of the siege, before he could even shout for help from Qian Zhenpeng, a crossbow wolf fang arrow shot from the divine arm bow had already pierced his head, penetrating extremely domineeringly.
The moment the tip of the arrow pierced the back of his head, a large amount of bright red blood spattered out. Xu Ding was shot through the head by the crossbow arrow, and the frightened expression froze on his face, and he remained silent.
He said, he immediately fell off his horse and died!
Most of the rear formation was damaged by the arrow rain. As for the Manichaeans who rushed to the front of the Song army's formation, they were unable to shake the dense formation in front. Anyone who tried to break the bloody path would see countless spears pointing straight ahead.
He poked out, "Puff, puff, puff!" After a muffled sound, he immediately dug out several shocking blood holes on the bodies of the Confederate soldiers who were leading the battle. He quickly pulled them back, then dug them out again in an orderly manner, and then quickly pulled them back...
...
There is another Song army on the hillside overlooking the battle below. Nearly a hundred soldiers are surrounded by a general. Seeing that the Manichaean thieves below are in chaos and defeated, the general is extremely happy and has a bright look on his face.
, full of energy.
During the Song-Xia national war, Liu Guangshi, who was serving Tong Guan with his father Liu Yanqing like a little follower, seemed to have decided the outcome in one fell swoop because of his proper planning, and he seemed particularly proud of his achievements.
Now Liu Guangshi is proud of his capital. Tong Guan, whom his father and son rely on, leads the Privy Council. His father, Liu Yanqing, is indeed heroic and brave in the Western Army. He is appointed as the Governor of the Baoxin Army and the Deputy Capital of the Horse Army in front of him.
The commander, Liu Guangshi, also benefited from the honor and was promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Mount Yanlu Horse Infantry Army. Now he was ordered to follow Tong Guan and his father to suppress the Manichaean rebels in the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with the elites of the Western Army,
, these rebels and thieves who are mostly composed of rabble in the green forest and peasants with mud legs who have just put down their hoes are not worth mentioning at all. It is not difficult to win a few battles by yourself. If Tong Guan is willing to look after and promote him, why worry about not being able to do it?
How many levels will you be promoted to?
Liu Guangshi was in a good mood. He looked at the general who was standing respectfully beside him with a low eyebrow and said: "Jinjie, it's because you know Xiu well. You often wait for the terrain of the military state and arrange your troops according to the mountains and rivers."
If you make a mistake, this is also a part of your contribution. I see that you are also a diligent person, and I also have the intention to praise you. Since you are now taking orders in front of my account, if you perform your duties more carefully, I will not treat you badly, you know.
?”
He was released by Xiao Tang on his way back from the south of the Yangtze River and took care of Zhao Ting on the way. Huang Shang returned to the capital in Jinjie. Although he was guilty of defeat and dereliction of duty, the court did not deal with this low-ranking official because he rescued the court officials and returned to the capital.
The officer power was considered to have made up for his faults because of his merits. Because he was familiar with the terrain of several states in the south of the Yangtze River, he was transferred to Liu Guangshi's command just like the trajectory in the original work.
Now hearing Liu Guangshi's words of praise, Jin Jie immediately gave him a gift and said: "Thank you for being promoted by General Manager Liu. This young man has the opportunity to make up for his faults by virtue of his merits. He has the opportunity to serve the country and is so grateful for his promotion. If this young man can make any progress, he will be rewarded."
The reward for wearing the saddle on your back!"
Liu Guangshi let out a long sigh, and immediately looked down the hillside. Seeing the bravery of General Song Duan, the man who led his troops to intercept the Manichaean rebels below, he personally led a group of Biaojin cavalry to intercept and kill the thieves.
He looked like a leader in the army. Although his colleagues were fighting hard below, Liu Guangshi sneered again and secretly said: That guy is very brave, but he is a self-righteous and ignorant idiot. Tong Shuxiang has always been
I don't like him just because he is really brave, so I put him to use.
Even if the Wuyuan Yao family is also a famous general in the Western Army, even Yao Gu, Yao Si and others would never dare to offend Tong Shuxiang now. Because of the power of the Yao family's generals, they have not made any effort to pursue you.
Being close to the traitor Xiao Tang has already given you an advantage. You and I fight together, so I have to take most of the credit. No matter how hard you fight, you won't please the Tongshu Xiang, but this will make you happy.
What's the use?
.............
In the chaos of the battle at the foot of the hillside, Qian Zhenpeng saw the army being defeated like a mountain. He knew that no more stubborn resistance would be enough to reverse the situation on the entire battlefield. Now he realized that his close brother Xu Ding seemed to have been hit by a hail of arrows in the rear.
After losing his life, Qian Zhenpeng gnashed his teeth in hatred, but then he heard the Song Army general in front of him sneer: "You thieves, you really don't know the strategy, but you don't know that you guys have fallen into the trap and have nowhere to escape.
If you know what's going on, get off your horse and be bound, so as not to dirty your hands and feet!"
After hearing this, Qian Zhenpeng became even more furious. He roared loudly, and slashed the vital part of the general with the sword in his hand. He also shouted: "Dog officer! Stop talking, either you will die today or I will."
Death!"
The cavalry general of the Song Army also waved the big gun in his hand and shouted sternly: "The traitor seeks death, and my young lieutenant Yao Pingzhong will take your life!"
