Chapter 1364 Xiao Tang's former subordinates, the main force of Jiangnan thieves (2)
When Qian Zhenpeng watched the spear in Yao Pingzhong's hand stabbing straight through his throat, he first felt a touch of coldness directly touching his heart. Then Qian Zhenpeng suddenly felt the deafening shouts of killing around him, and the heart-rending screams of his subordinates.
The wailing sounds seemed to have stopped for an instant.
Bright red blood gushed out from his throat, causing Qian Zhenpeng's roar to stop. He strained to open his eyes and look up at the sky. His body suddenly fell backwards, falling from the galloping horse to the ground, and he died.
Among the rising dust.
Yao Pingzhong flicked the spear in his hand and looked around again. He saw that the fleeing Manichaeans were being brutally massacred by the fierce Western Army under his command. He knew that the victory was determined, and the rebels in Changzhou would eventually be defeated.
They were all slaughtered. The process of the war was far easier than he imagined. Yao Pingzhong couldn't help but think: In the end, except for the Western Army in Bianting, most of the other forbidden armies were too incompetent to teach the Manichaeans.
He was so arrogant for a while that he despised the march of the imperial army. But he didn't know that soldiers from the Western Army were real men who would step forward and drink blood. He killed these guys by surprise, and even defeated the rebel army with such speed and ease...
.
In fact, the Fang Lan Manichae bandits are mostly grass bandits who hang out in the green forest. There are no generals who can fight hard. They are a group of thieves who kill people and steal goods. They are no different from Hedong Tianhu. How can they be compared with us?
But...if we were to fight against the rebel forces led by Xiao Renxia, I'm afraid the war would never be so light and easy...
For no reason, Yao Pingzhong suddenly remembered that he had followed Xiao Tang, the coach of the Xia Kingdom to conquer Tian Hu. Xiao Tang had been gathering strong bandits in the green forest for many years, and now he had exposed himself as the leader of several mountains.
Yao Pingzhong raised a flag of rebellion due to his identity. Even though Yao Pingzhong was shocked when he heard the news, he had no choice but to accept the fact. Now he was assigned to join the Western Army to conquer Manichaeism in the south of the Yangtze River, instead of going to Jingdong Road to fight Xiao Tang head-on.
, Yao Pingzhong felt inexplicably a little lucky in his heart, but he also understood that the two sides' positions were completely hostile. As Xiao Tang's momentum grew, sooner or later, he was afraid that he and his colleagues in the Western Army would still have to fight against Xiao Tang, or even follow him.
He turned against his former comrades in the imperial court and fought to the death.
Yao Pingzhong sighed secretly and said in his heart: Xiao Renxia, it is said that the government treats you well. Why did you betray the imperial court? I really don't understand what you were thinking. But after all, you committed the crime of treason.
, if you and I meet on the battlefield, no wonder I don’t miss our old friendship...

Tong Guan commanded the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army and the elite Bianting Western Army to suppress the Manichaean uprisings in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. They also annihilated large numbers of rebels who were stubbornly resisting. Originally, the leaders of the Manichaean sect, big and small, were all well-known in the green forests of the south of the Yangtze River.
However, they were killed in batches in the battle with the fierce and skilled soldiers of the Western Army. Most of the famous bandit leaders died in the same way as the soldiers who were killed.
For example, the twenty-four generals under the command of Fang La's son Fang Tianding were all known as brave men in the green forest who were famous for their bravery. However, after the battle of Hangzhou, Xue Dounan, Yao Yi, Xu Bai, Zhang Daoyuan, Wang Ji, Chao Zhong, and Wang Ren were defeated.
.On the way Fang Tianding led the defeated army to flee in panic, they were intercepted and killed by the Song army. During this period, four generals Tang Fenshi, Zhao Yi, Huang Ai, and Leng Gong were killed in the battle, and Wen Kerang, Zhang Jian, and Mao Di were captured.
...But all the rebel generals who died in the battle were either shot to death by arrows, or were trampled by random hooves or killed by random blades in the melee. Even the generals of the Song Army were killed.
His face has not yet been seen clearly. He is only as brave as a man, but he cannot protect himself in the midst of thousands of troops.
Even Fang Tianding, who had always been proud of his martial prowess, had no choice but to flee in panic. When the remnants of the defeated Manichaean soldiers rushed to the border of Tonglu adjacent to Hangzhou and Muzhou, soldiers and horses from the sect finally came to rescue them. Fang Tianding was surprised to see that the ones fighting on the other side were his uncles and brothers.
Fang Jie's flag, he just looked happy, suddenly he heard the sound of shrill horns from all sides, and on the horizon, there were fierce flags fluttering in the wind, standing high, as if there were thousands of strong horses knocking at the same time.
There was a roaring sound of thunder hitting the earth. It was obvious that two groups of Manichaean troops were going to meet up at one place, but someone in the Song army had already expected it. They intercepted here and wanted to massacre all the rebels here!
Rows of heavy armored cavalry of the Song Army rumbled in from the east side. The soldiers in the front leveled the rows of lances. Countless cavalrymen behind them also raised their sabers above their heads and roared wildly.
The fighting spirit was at its peak. The fierce momentum of the Western Army's cavalry formation immediately made the Manichaeans who had slaughtered Jiangnan officials a few days ago as if they were slaughtering pigs and dogs also burst into tears!
When the Song Army's powerful cavalry crashed straight into the Manichean formation with unstoppable momentum, Fang Tianding vaguely saw the banners carried by the officers and soldiers over there writing the words "Wu Jie, Superintendent of Soldiers and Horses of Jingyuan Road". He also
He cursed ferociously and said, "How could a mere military commander command several battalions of soldiers and horses be so arrogant?"
However, this powerful cavalry rushed into the depths of his own army formation. Fang Tianding was stunned to see that the cavalry were ruthless and swift in using long and short weapons on horseback, and their riding skills were exquisite. There were almost no leaders or followers under his command who rushed to fight.
Can withstand it. In the chaos, the various cavalrymen of the Song Army rode their horses as fast as dragons. They rushed through countless blood splashes. Those who were hit by the fierce horses howled and flew up, and those who fell into the hooves of the rolling horses were trampled.
The sword struck and chopped them to death... Wherever this powerful Western Army cavalry passed, people were on their backs, and no one could even stop them in the slightest!
Fang Tianding was shocked to realize that the Song troops along the way were also extremely brave and good at fighting. On the other hand, the morale of his followers, who were originally sluggish, seemed to be like paper. Especially the Song troops who rushed into the formation and killed soldiers and horses in the sect. They all seemed to be like paper.
It was like a ferocious beast that was aroused by the smell of blood. Such a ferocious and fierce fighting posture was completely different from the green forest bandits who gathered in groups and made chaos in the green forest. Fang Tianding had never seen it with his own eyes.
The fighting momentum of that army was so fierce and fierce, I couldn't help but tremble with fear at this time!
Fang Tianding was not the only one. Most of the Manichaeans originally thought that the vicious officials in the Jiangnan areas who bullied and blackmailed the people, and even most of the Song army's corrupt imperial guards were just lackeys who bullied others with power and bullied the weak and feared the strong. When the Manichaeans openly committed crimes, those
Corrupt officials, weak soldiers and generals were slaughtered and skinned one by one. Then they were big insects that could not be provoked. The military and administration in the Song Dynasty were corrupt, and the imperial army was mostly dog-like. How could they survive the Manis who gathered their followers?
Religion to rebel against the army? But now most of the Manichaeans have realized that they are more like lambs to be slaughtered. On the other hand, these Western military tribes who were provoked from the side court of the Song Dynasty seem to have been killed.
In front of you, a group of tigers are about to feast!
