Chapter 752 If you run away, how long can you run away?
The military flag embroidered with the red word Xiao was fluttering in the howling wind. Now Xiao Tang not only carried a gold-chiselled tiger-headed dragon-tooth spear in his hand, but also carried a pair of cold-fronted wolf-tooth swords on his waist, and rode a flaming red block on his crotch.
The wind horse, he wears a haze silver bag on his head, and the dense ring armor is also covered with layers of rhinoceros leather armor. The shoulder-swallowing beast has an angry look on his shoulders, and he wears a yellow Luo brocade shawl.
He encountered the Hedong thieves more than once, but Xiao Tang, who had always been firmly in the middle of the army, was spotless and majestic.
Several groups of Song army soldiers flashed out from behind Xiao Tang, carrying divine arm bows and yellow lacquer bows, and holding red tassel spears and ring-headed swords in their hands. These troops were all the elite of the Forbidden Army. They lined up in an orderly manner. Only a moment later.
Five heroes, Xiao Jiasui, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu, Pang Wanchun, and Shi Jin, also rode out of the formation and lined up to stand side by side with Xiao Tang.
Soldiers and horses on the left and right wings also poured out from both sides of Xiaotang. Among them, the left wing general was holding a crow horn gun, a precious eagle bow inserted into the flying fish bag, and willow leaf arrows were also densely packed in the lion pot. Two people behind him
Three thousand soldiers lined up in a tight formation and were ready to charge forward, with murderous intent all over the sky. The commander was none other than Yao Pingzhong, the young Taiwei who commanded the Sixth Battalion of Tigers and Wolves of the Western Army.
The main general on the right wing is Da Dao Guan Sheng. He is also neatly dressed. The curly red rabbit horse under his crotch snorts from time to time. From time to time, his bowl-sized hooves also dig hard at the ground, like a cluster of endless flames, and the sharp blade in his palm is shining.
The cold Qinglong Yanyue Sword looked intimidating, and he praised it at his side. Hao Siwen and the two generals also pointed the tips of their swords and spears forward, and prepared to charge with their subordinates.
At the rear of Xiao Tang, Yao Pingzhong, and Guan Sheng's military formation, in addition to Niu Gao who commanded the new army's cavalry outposts, Wang Jin also led the new army with Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong, and Wang Wenbin, as well as Li Yongqi, who had recently joined the army.
The army marched forward slowly and neatly. Although after the battle of Jieshan, the army suffered more than 700 casualties and about 400 people were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting, but in addition to more than 2,900 veterans, Tongtan
In addition to the 2,000 reserve recruits in the county, Xiao Tang and Wang Jin selected another 4,000 people from the refugees who rushed to Taiyuan Prefecture to escape the banditry in the north of Hedong Road to form a corps. Now they are also commanded by Xiao Tang.
During the campaign against Tian Hu, the nearly 7,000-strong army looked neatly formed from a distance.
It's just that the new army was recruited from Taiyuan Prefecture to be strong civilians. After they joined the army, they memorized military regulations, practiced formations, and practiced the skills of advancing, retreating, attacking and killing, it only lasted about a month. These people had only a short time to throw down their hoes.
The man was now in the midst of Xiao Sha's military formation. Although he knew that the ranks were very orderly according to the orders of the military commander, he still couldn't help but look left and right, with a look of fear in his eyes.
"You're so scared! What's so great about those thieves? Straight thieves are just a group of bullies who bully the weak and fear the strong! I'm telling you, the more you fear those thieves, the more rampant they will be. In fact, most of them are
If we really want to fight with these pretentious people, our general will advance and retreat according to the flag signals. You just need to follow the orders strictly along with the brothers around you.
It doesn't matter if you say you are not good at martial arts. We strictly follow the military orders and practice military formations. The purpose is for brothers in the army to take care of each other. How can thieves and birds resist when dozens of random guns are poked at them? How can we treat you, young children in the army?
Having been on the battlefield a few times and killed a few thieves, you can be considered a real man! Think of the thieves who made you homeless and the hatred of your family, and think of Marshal Xiao Jie's great kindness in taking us in. Just follow the order and fight to the death.
Xiao Jieshuai and Coach Wang will never treat us badly!"
Before lining up to confront the thieves, those who used similar words to appease the new recruits turned out to be just like them not long ago. They were just farmers from tenant farmers, and most of them were honest and simple men.
It's just that after a fierce war, many men in the new army seemed to have enlightened themselves. Although the military health who had gone through the Battle of Jieshan would also pat their chests and boast to the newly recruited soldiers like veterans,
I have killed a few thieves with my own hands before, no matter how good the battle was, but seeing those military warriors who were originally ordinary peasants like them now seem to be reborn, this will undoubtedly make the rest of the soldiers who have recently joined the new army feel at ease.
Be determined.
At this time, Li Yongqi, who was carrying two swords on his back and holding a heavy iron gun in his hand, saw that the new army had a neat lineup. In the past, they were just ordinary villagers who allowed themselves to be preyed upon by bandits, but now they really looked like military athletes of the Song Dynasty. He couldn't help but feel sad.
Feeling grateful, Li Yongqi thought of Xiao Renxia, who had favored him for being an intellectual, socialist, and promotion... During these days, he was also very concerned about his son Li Shifu. Although official matters were complicated, Xiao Tang often allowed him to come in and out of the mansion.
He inspired him with his martial arts skills. Thinking of this, Li Yongqi even made a wish to follow Xiao Tang through life and death in order to repay his great kindness.
Although Li Shifu now told him frankly that his father would not kill all the traitors and enemy chiefs, but left a few to teach him how to kill him, after all, he was still young, so Li Yongqi had no choice but to leave him in Taiyuan Mansion. At this time, Li Yongqi thought of his eldest brother Li Yonglie who died in the battle.
, he gripped the spear in his hand tighter, looked up at the sky, and secretly said: Brother, your heroic spirit has not gone far away. Let's see how your brother shines in the army and honors the lintel of my Li family. You know this, and you should be happy.
.
"Our army arrived in time, and at least the thieves did not harm the people in Dingxiang County."
Xiao Tang looked at the collapsed county wall in the distance, where a large number of bandits were about to pour into the city. His face was as sinking as water, and he said in a serious voice: "I spent the first and second half of the month searching the boundaries of Xinzhou, and only killed a few small groups of bandits. Tian Hu
After all, that guy was unwilling to sit back and wait for death. As Brother Jiasui expected, the bandit army did not dare to confront our troops head-on. To avoid our army's attack, they only had to plunder the food and grass and circulate in the mountains. There are no wealthy counties, villages or towns nearby. The thieves
Most of the people plan to capture Dingxiang County quickly and then escape northward."
Xiao Jiasui also rode his horse to Xiao Tang's side and said: "In the past, our army had to be on guard against bandits and bandits roaming around and causing chaos. We had to camp step by step and plan for them. But now the situation is very different. Tian Hu must have never expected that our army would come like this."
So fast... This guy is also a vicious and cunning person. In the past, he usually instigated other thieves to invade our army, but now we finally have traces of him again."
Xiao Tang smiled coldly and said: "We met on a narrow road before. The soldiers and horses under my command were insufficient and I could not take that guy's life. Later, in Mianshang County, my brothers and Huyan Tongzhi and other generals led a heavy cavalry to break through the formation. When Tian Hu saw
Something was wrong, so I just ran away first... I bumped into him again this time, I wonder what that guy would do?"
Xiao Jiasui raised his head and looked around the mountainous terrain, and said leisurely: "Even if he still wants to escape, where can he escape to? How long can he escape? Although Tian Hu does not dare to fight to save his life, but every time he escapes
It will inevitably make a large number of thieves feel cold and cold, and surrender before the battle. Even if the thieves under his command are crude and unscrupulous, at this time of year, there must be many strong leaders who realize that they are just being used by Tian Hu. By then, he will be isolated and helpless, even though the world is big.
, but is there still a place for him to hide?"
"Tian Hu led the Xia thieves into the country, burned, killed and looted. The thieves who are still willing to join his army will not regret their death. Now is the time to teach them to pay for their blood debt with blood... Send my military order, and the new army officers will take custody
In the formation, I ordered Yao Dujian and Guan Dujian to intercept the rebels from the left and right wings. The rest of the troops followed me and attacked from the front. The purpose of this battle is to do everything we can to annihilate the thieves in large numbers. If you can kill one more, you cannot teach more.
A thief escaped!"
After Guan Sheng, Yao Pingzhong, Wang Jin and others received their general orders respectively, General Xiao Tang raised his gold-plated spear high in the air, and with the sound of a loud horn from the marching army, the three armies moved together, with a group of fierce tigers eating lambs.
The momentum turned towards the thieves who were just about to rush into Dingxiang County and burn and kill them!
Golden drums were beating and trumpets were blaring. Tian Hu, who had just heard the report from the little leader that Xiao Tang's army had arrived, suddenly saw a large number of officers and soldiers coming out of the foothills on the south side, shouting in unison, and swarming towards his own troops.
As he approached, the look of shock and fear gradually faded from his face, replaced by ruthless resentment and ferocity.
Xiao Tang, you are really going to kill me. I only regret that I didn’t take your life when I was in Shishi Mountain and Mianshang County!
Although Tian Hu wished he could peel off Xiao Tang's skin and cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts, he also found that most of the thieves around him were frightened and turned pale in front of the massive officers and soldiers. To say that Xiao Tang was really himself.
The nemesis of his fate was that before he arrived at Hedong Road, Tian Hu had always had a smooth sailing during his rebellion on Hedong Road, seeing that the rebellion could be accomplished. However, since he and Xiao Tang accidentally bumped into each other at Shishi Mountain in the Wei Sheng Army, the thieves under his command have been defeated repeatedly. Now,
As soon as they saw Xiao Tang's banner, their courage immediately dropped. The morale of the officers and soldiers was high. Even if they had to fight tooth and nail, how could they win?
If I can't fight, escaping is not a long-term solution. Now is the critical moment, what should I do?
Tian Hu, who was angry and anxious, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and secretly said: It is said that wealth can only be found in danger. If I want to escape, I have no choice but to be ruthless and fight for my life!
