Chapter 668 If you want the tiger clan in Yitian, you must be harmonious with Xiao Renxia
From the moment Hu Yanzhuo led a chain of heavy horses and heavy cavalry into the chaotic formation of the Hedong thieves, the disastrous defeat of Tian Hu's army seemed to have been a foregone conclusion.
This time Xiao Jiasui mobilized the officers and soldiers of Tongtian County to rush to the rescue. Five generals including Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, and Xuan Zan led 6,000 troops, while Luo Jian, Wang Jin, and Hao Siwen, who had not recovered from their arrow wounds, were in charge.
The remaining officers and soldiers still guarded Tongtian County. Most of the officers and soldiers who came to support Mianshang were horse troops. Among them, the chain heavy cavalry led by Hu Yanzhuo was the main force in the attack on the bandit formation. Although the force was still not as strong as that led by Tian Hu.
The thieves used their cavalry and fine cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the thieves' infantry. Naturally, Xiao Tang's side had the greatest chance of winning.
The thundering hoofbeats of galloping horses and the loud and shrill roars resounded through the sky. All attention was focused on the flanks of the rebel army attacking the county town. The defenses in the back were very empty. The heavily armored horse army with armored cavalry took advantage of the terrain and launched a fierce charge.
, the momentum generated by the iron cavalry caused a devastating blow to the thieves' formation. How could the thieves with their declining morale prevent an effective counterattack?
Among the cheering crowds on the city wall of Mianshang County, Xiao Tang stared at the heroic scene of Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, Xiao Jiasui and others leading the cavalry army to attack the enemy's formation. He suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was different from what he had seen in later generations.
In the movie "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", when Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and other comrades and King Théoden of Rohan resisted Saruman's orc army in Helm's Deep, Gandalf led the Rohan Pony.
The scene was very similar when Cavalry Marshal Iomer led a large number of cavalry to attack the enemy's formation. Xiao Tang was also in high spirits. He, Hua Rong, and Niu Gao soon led more than ten cavalrymen and more than a hundred powerful cavalry to rush out of Mianshang County and fight with
The chain of iron cavalry chased the defeated rebel army together, almost shouting: "Rohan Hussars! Charge!"...
Tian Hu, who has a ferocious and vicious temperament, is indeed a very cunning green forest hero. When he realized that the several thieves under his command who had no time to prepare were unable to resist the large number of official cavalry that suddenly came out to attack, he immediately
He decided to flee in panic with his third brother Tian Biao and a few strongman leaders. Even though the formation collapsed and morale collapsed, there were still nearly 10,000 thieves standing in front of the serial cavalry who rushed into the formation. Tian Biao fled in panic.
If Hu wants to escape now, Xiao Tang, Hu Yanzhuo, Xiao Jiasui and others, even if they intend to get rid of him as the culprit of the banditry in Hedong as soon as possible, are out of reach.
Just because Tian Hu escaped, the large number of rebel infantry were left to their own devices without the command of their leader.
In the chaos of the army, Xuan Zan, who was following Guan Sheng in charging to kill the thieves, bumped into Qin Sheng, the strongman leader who was leading an attack on the east gate of Mianshang. After the two fought for more than 20 times, Guan Sheng also slapped his horse with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
Coming at a gallop, Qin Sheng, who had no intention of fighting, turned his horse and ran away. However, Xuan Zan's bow and arrow skills were able to defeat the generals who were good at bow and horse riding in the competition. How could he do it now?
Let the guy escape easily? As soon as Qin Sheng urged the horse to escape thirty or forty steps away, Xuan Zan picked up his bow and arrow, looked at Qin Sheng clearly and shot an arrow, piercing his heart immediately.
He taught Qin Sheng to die immediately in the chaos of the battlefield.
Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi continued to lead the well-trained horse troops who came forward to rush through the bandit formation. After three turns and charges, the nearly 10,000 thieves were already undecided. The large group of infantrymen were howling and screaming.
For days on end, everyone just wanted to escape. Xiao Tang took the opportunity to lead his army to pursue and cover up the enemy, and then he bit the fleeing thieves. More than 4,000 thieves were all trampled by the cavalry, and nearly 3,000 others lost their lives in the pursuit of the cavalry.
The bandits threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground and shouted to surrender and spare their lives. The rest of the defeated army dispersed into several groups and fled into the nearby mountains and forests, only to save their lives...
In the battle of Mianshang County, the imperial army led by Xiao Tang won a complete victory.
The war was over. Li Zhixian immediately ordered the county officials to get the grain stored in the county warehouses to reward the officers and soldiers led by Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and other generals. Although the Hedong bandit leader Tian Hu escaped, there were still a large number of bandits operating in Mianshang and Pingyao areas.
After this battle, all the prisoners were captured by the Qing Dynasty, which can be said to have solved the urgent need of the counties and towns under his rule. The county government held a banquet in honor of Xiao Tang's generals, and there was laughter and laughter during the banquet. Only among his subordinates and brothers
When he praised himself for not only being brave enough to win the three armies, but also for being a brave general of the country, Xiao Tang was not dazzled by a great victory. He took a sip of the wine in the glass and secretly said in his heart:
The disaster in Shang County has been resolved, and it is time to return to Tongtian County to take charge of the overall situation... After all, the war against the bandits in Hedong is not over yet...
※※
A few days later, under the management of Ye Qing, the general manager of Qiu Mansion, part of Qiu Shen's inheritance was exchanged for free money. Mother and daughter Song Zhenniang and Qiongying, together with the four or five female relatives in the back house, had already packed their bags.
, preparing to go to Tongtian County with Xiao Tang to stay temporarily.
After all, Song Zhenniang was kind-hearted. She chose to leave her husband's mansion to the children of the Qiu clan, and Qiu Shen's previous business and business. Song Zhenniang also ordered Ye Qing to go and sue Qiu Jia and others, and they would take over.
After the situation became more peaceful, in addition to holding a fasting ceremony for her husband-in-law, she also had to hold a religious ceremony for her deceased father, and she had to revisit the old place when burying her ancestors' graves. Song Zhenniang was also ready to say goodbye to this sad place.
Song Zhenniang thought that the gold and silver she carried was enough to support her mother and Ye Qing, not to mention Xiao Tang, who had a high status in Bianjing and whom Song Zhenniang could trust. Now she only thinks about it.
Song Zhenniang no longer has to worry about trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, and family disputes.
Xiao Tang also negotiated with Li Zhixian. Since Tongtang County and Mianshang County both belong to the Weisheng Army territory, if the thieves come to attack the city again, the county government can send people to Tongtang County to ask for help as soon as possible. While there is a large army,
Escort, Li Zhixian also begged Xiao Tang to bring the refugees who had migrated here due to banditry under his rule to Tongda County, while he still stayed in Mianshang County to take care of various matters in the city, so as to build a food country
Responsibilities of magistrates based on salary and salary.
It was also because Xiao Tang's men defeated the bandits in Hedong in this battle. The people in Mianshang County also knew that the new officers and soldiers were different from the ruffians in the military divisions in Hedong in the past. In order to maintain peace before the banditry was completely suppressed.
, nearly 4,000 people in the county are willing to move eastward, and together with the nearby refugees accommodated in the county, the number has reached about 7,000.
Three days later, Xiao Tang ordered Hu Yanzhuo, and Guan Sheng and others led two teams to guard the villagers. The people who moved to Tongdi County placed their old and weak women and children, money, silk and food in various boxes.
After the officers and soldiers sent out patrols and sent out patrols everywhere, Xiao Tang and his generals led the army and escorted more than 7,000 people on the return journey.
A trip to Tongtang County.
Among the people and horses, the common people's chariot team has various specifications of vehicles used to carry goods and people. Most of the domestic animals pulling the wooden carts are mules and donkeys. Even the young and strong men in the family pull the carts in person.
Among the poor and tattered refugees, there were also a few wealthy families wearing silk fabrics. However, as there were more people, they were crowded together and walked together. In addition, there were officers and soldiers in the rear escorting nearly 3,000 captured bandits, and the team was moving at a very fast speed.
It certainly won't be soon.
However, Tian Hu suffered a disastrous defeat in his previous training, and also killed the Hedong thieves running around the surrounding areas to death. It is expected that based on the current situation, there should not be any strong people who would hate his life.
Commander, before the meeting, he went back and forth against the swords of more than 6,000 strong officers and soldiers.
Song Zhenniang, Qiong Ying and Ye Qing's wife An were placed in a carriage by Xiao Tang. Xiao Tang was riding on his divine horse, and from time to time he was with Xiao Jiasui, Hua Rong, Hu Yanzhuo and others beside him.
The brothers talked about resettling the refugees, selecting and training the new army, etc. However, what Xiao Tang didn't know was that among the people who moved to Tongda County with him, there was a pair of eyes that looked at him from time to time...
..
The man secretly observing Xiao Tang was a scholar dressed as a scholar. He wore a tucked scarf and a light yellow Taoist robe. Although there were two or three patches on the Taoist robe, his clothes could be considered clean and decent.
At this time, the scholar narrowed his eyes slightly and was looking at the heroic spirit of Xiao Tang, who was not far in front of him with his spear and horse. He also praised in his heart: This Xiao Tang is indeed a well-known knight in the world.
The bandits were defeated in the battle at Shangxian County, and the bandits who were accustomed to being rampant suffered a great loss. Tian Hu harmed the people of Hedong for his own selfish purposes, but the officials and soldiers were weak and the Hedong military department was in ruins, which led to the murder.
The bandit is a big thief... Although I have extraordinary skills, even the leader of the thieves who is extravagant and good at fighting is not afraid of him. Unfortunately, I can't resist the thieves because they have many soldiers and are powerful. I just want to teach those guys in my mountain forest house.
The war was raging, so we had no choice but to move north and travel.
Although I also have a disciple who has learned all my true knowledge and served as a military commander in the army, but he works far away on Jingdong Road and is just a military general serving as a commander in the state capital...
Fortunately, Xiao Renxia went to Hedong Road for business, and all my hopes of returning to my former home in the mountains and forests to continue living in seclusion fell on this person.
Haha, as the saying goes, "If you want the Yitian Tiger Clan, you must harmonize with Xiao Renxia"...
