Chapter 840 The public and private must be clearly defined, we are not the old thief Gao Qiu
When Xiao Tang and Niu Gao joined forces, the chaos of Xia's army became more and more obvious. It seems that the general leading the army is not a good general who is good at adapting to changes and can respond quickly to the ever-changing battle situation.
The reason for his talent is that Xiao Tang led the cavalry to attack too suddenly, and a large number of Xia Army's crossbowmen were exposed in front of the Song Army's cavalry, which drove straight in. The advantage of long-range strikes could not be used, and instead they looked more like a group of people waiting to be slaughtered.
Lamb.
It can be said that Xiao Tang arrived at Zhenbian Village at the right time. For a time, a large number of Xia Army infantry had no time to make an effective counterattack under the orders of the generals, and Niu Gao also led his troops to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
, Li Yongqi, Wang Wenbin and other generals also led their infantry to camp step by step, and when they advanced towards the Xia Army's increasingly disorganized military formation, less than half of the Xia Army's troops and horses had been lost.
The general who commanded the Xia army knew a little about conserving strength and not acting on impulse. Seeing that something was wrong, the Song army had suddenly rushed out to take the lead, so he ordered all the troops to gather in formation and slowly retreat, while firing bows and arrows and powerful crossbows.
Stay in position to resist, lest the disintegration spread to all the troops.
The infantry troops of the Song Army who were escorted were also beaten hard. After the military formation advanced within the range of the bows and arrows of both sides, Li Yongqi pointed his gun in the direction of the Xia Army and immediately shouted an order. Countless soldiers immediately picked off the soldiers.
The bows were nocked and arrows were fired in unison. At this time, some of the Xia infantrymen who were attacked by the Song army on three sides fell to the ground. Although they also set up their crossbows and fired arrows to fight back, they lost the opportunity.
However, the casualties were much higher than those of the Song army.
At this time, there was a Xia Army cavalry general in the front line who was quite extravagant in martial arts. He was proud of himself and resisted, covering his own troops and horses as they retreated slowly. However, he bumped into Xiao Tang who was urging his horses to charge forward. He first heard a loud roar like thunder.
Drink, and soon the cold-edged gold-plated spear was rushing towards his chest. The cavalryman was about to block Xiao Tang's attack with his spear, but suddenly his face changed, and he suddenly turned his head, and heard
With a "whoosh!" sound, a wolf-fang arrow grazed his cheek and pierced deeply into the heart of a Xia cavalry behind him, leaving only the trembling arrow feathers.
The cavalry general of the Xia Army also reacted very quickly. He first avoided Hua Rong's sharp arrows that seemed to be chasing his soul, and then he barely avoided Xiao Tang's stabbing attack. However, Xiao Tang was unyielding when he had the upper hand.
Fei, rushed straight in front of the Xia Army cavalry general and pulled the reins fiercely. The horse immediately stood up and stood up. When the two front hooves of the horse suddenly stepped forward, Xiao Tang held it in his hands.
The big gun took advantage of the situation and slashed down viciously. This fierce blow actually forced the Xia Army cavalry general to take several steps back with his horse. The fierce sound of gold and iron almost shattered his eardrums.
The cavalry general snorted, and a blush suddenly appeared on his face. Although he gritted his teeth and drew blood from the tiger's mouth, and tightly clenched the iron gun in his trembling hands, he still stepped forward to fight Xiao Tang in a life-or-death contest.
, but at this moment, Niu Gao on the left and Guan Sheng on the right also killed the cavalry generals fighting with them, and came over to kill them together. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword had already slashed into the neck of the Xia army general, and
Four rounds of iron maces also hit his waist and ribs hard, immediately breaking half of his ribs!
The Xia army general's eyes were blood red. He stared at Xiao Tang. Although he vomited blood in large mouthfuls, he still gritted his teeth and cursed the enemy in front of him in Xixia intermittently, until he When he fell from his horse, Xiao Tang understood what the Xia Army cavalry general said in the blunt Song official voice at the last moment of his life: "Song dogs...invaded my homeland...God Baishi bless me, Daxia... ....I...will never give up until I die..."
Xiao Tang glanced sideways at the Xia warrior who fell to the ground and refused to die, then pointed his big gun again and killed the retreating Xia army. War is so cruel, those Of course, the people of the Xia nation have reasons to fight bloody battles for their own country and their own position, but now is not the time to remember and sympathize with the enemy. Even if the world is not black and white, as long as you hold weapons on the battlefield, When we meet on a narrow road, many times all hatred can only be quelled by death.
When the three fierce generals Xiao Tang, Guan Sheng, and Niu Gao support each other, riding and charging, and there are divine arrow generals like Hua Rong supporting them from the side, their prestige and power are naturally that the gods can block the gods and the demons can block the demons. However, seeing the Xia army retreating slowly and becoming more compact, the hard-bowed crossbows also began to fire arrows at their own side. Xiao Tang only charged for a while, but did not continue to show off his martial prowess and continued to lead the young soldiers. Some cavalrymen pursued the enemy in depth alone.
After all, the Jingnan Army officers and soldiers in the Zhenbian stronghold were still responsible for guarding the military stronghold. This surprise attack had already been regarded as a victory, so Xiao Tangxuan sent another order, ordering all troops to withdraw their troops and return to the city, and sent The military officials summoned Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, and Wu Jie who were hiding nearby to lead the troops escorting the baggage and grain and fodder, and drove the chariots to rush into the border village of the town.
When Xiao Tang rushed to the gate of Zhenbian Village with his horse and spear, the troops of the Jingnan Army inside and outside the city immediately gave out thunderous cheers, "Shuai Xiao Jie!", "Xiao Renxia!", "Shuai Jie is mighty!" "The shouts and shouts came one after another, and Wang Wenbin, Li Yongqi and other generals had already rushed to Xiao Tang, immediately rolled off their saddles and dismounted, and saluted Xiao Tang respectfully.
Liu Zhongwu saw the excitement and cheers from the Jingnan Army officers when Xiao Tang resisted the Zhenbian Stronghold. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: This Jingnan Army was originally built by Xiao Tang who worked hard in Hedong. Yes, I heard that the regiment training in the capital and the family members of the son-in-law in the army have been arranged by him with little worries, so it is not surprising that Xiao Tang is popular here... Haha, it is often said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, although I have The official appointed to take over the military power of the Jingnan Army, but who would have thought that after the death of Cai Xianggong, the supervisor of the army, Xiao Tang would impatiently lead his troops to Zhenbianzhai, just to regain control of the Jingnan Army Comes with military power?
He was a Privy Councilor who signed letters in the court, and now he has taken over the post of supervisor of the army. As a rule, I must be controlled by him. However, although Qi'er said that Xiao Tang should be a gentleman and disdain to use those public tools for personal use. However, I heard that Lieutenant Gao killed many lieutenant generals who were close to Xiao Tang in Bianjing, and Lieutenant Gao and I took care of each other and took over the military power of his Jingnan Army. Later... Now that Xiao Tang has the power, he really doesn't intend to seek bad luck from me?
It is also necessary to be on guard against others. When Liu Zhongwu was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Wang Jin cough lightly and said to him: "Liu Jieshuai, we also have to go to welcome Xiao Jieshuai into the city.
"
Only then did Liu Zhongwu come to his senses. He hurriedly walked out of the village gate with Wang Jin, Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong, and Liu Qi and others who were waiting at the city gate. When Liu Zhongwu looked at Xiao Tang, he hurried forward.
, the hesitant look on his face had long since disappeared, and instead he saluted Xiao Tang with a military salute openly and openly, and said with a loud smile: "I have heard the name of Marshal Xiao Jie for a long time, but I only regretted that we had a shallow relationship and never paid a visit to Xiao Tang."
"Shuai Zunyan, but I have also heard Quanzi say that Hexen is a hero with a broad mind and open-mindedness. Today, I have seen with my own eyes the heroic fighting appearance of Xiao Jie, this practical teacher will be filled with admiration!"
Xiao Tang praised Liu Zhongwu when he came up, and could hear some hidden meanings in his words, so Xiao Tang also smiled slightly and respectfully returned Liu Zhongwu's greeting: "Liu Jieshuai is a veteran general of the Western Army. The younger generation has heard that many times
He has made many military exploits in the border court, and he is indeed a role model for military men of our generation. The Jingnan Army, which was organized and trained by my junior in Hedong, was entrusted by Liu Jieshuai. I was not only very relieved, but also took care of these former subordinates of mine.
Son, I am also very grateful."
Hearing what Xiao Tang said, Liu Zhongwu was a little surprised. He looked at Xiao Tang with a deep meaning in his eyes and said, "Xiao Tang is indeed a broad-minded and heroic person, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Liu Zhongwu was broad-minded and open-minded. Naturally, besides being polite to Xiao Tang, he also deliberately avoided talking about his relationship with Gao Qiu. He also hoped that Xiao Tang would take care of him now that they were all Zepao comrades.
As for the hostility towards him because of his relationship with Gao Qiu, it seemed that Xiao Tang's attitude was very sincere, and he didn't seem to care about him taking over the military power of the Jingnan Army. Liu Zhongwu just let go of it a little
After a while, Xiao Tang smiled leisurely and said: "Of course, after all, this junior is not that old man Gao Qiu."
