If the Tiger Guards are a group of powerful tigers, then the Danyang Elite Soldiers are a group of wolves who hunt their prey neatly and neatly.
Walking through mountains and rivers is like gazing at a flat abyss. These are the terrible Danyang soldiers who are the mountain people.
Originally living in the mountains, they are naturally much stronger than ordinary soldiers in terms of physical strength!
After rigorous training and actual combat by regular military generals, the combat power of this group of Danyang soldiers under Tao Shang was even more astonishing.
The Tiger Guard's spiritual leader on the battlefield is Xu Chu, but for the Danyang elite soldiers, they do not need any spiritual leader.
Their spiritual support is himself.
The brave Tiger Guards and the calm Danyang elite soldiers, working together, swept towards Zuorong's eight thousand monk army.
The bloodthirsty level of the soldiers of Jinling Army is very different from that in the past. After the fierce battles with the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army, the soldiers of the Jinling Army have begun to show numbness and callousness towards the slaughter on the battlefield, and their characters have become more and more...
The more calm and calm he is, the bloodthirsty cells in his bones are growing day by day.
Their swords and guns would draw blood almost every time they were swung. When they slashed at the enemy, they would make a "puff" sound. When they were withdrawn, they would be clean and neat, without any slop or a splash of mist.
Blood mist.
But these scenes, which are enough to make ordinary people feel sick to their stomachs, fail to make any waves in their eyes.
This is how an elite soldier with fighting experience should behave.
Faced with the fierce attack by the Tiger Guards and Danyang's elite soldiers, a large area of Zuo Rong's eight thousand monk army had been killed in the distance between Sumeru. The Chinese army's formation also began to show signs of chaos and loosening.
Facing the Jinling Army, which was good at fighting and killing, Zuo Rong's troops and horses unknowingly began to move backward as a whole.
In the eyes of the Jinling Army with rich combat experience, this was an obvious sign before a defeat.
Due to the retreat of Zuo Rong's army, the momentum of the Jinling army increased. The drums and drums of the urging troops in the rear were thundering, and the soldiers and generals were in great voices. Various weapons splashed into the monk's army.
The unclear blood mist is like a crimson poisonous flower, blooming and decaying rapidly in the air.
The potter's estimate was absolutely correct. After removing the strongholds of the city walls of Xiapi City and engaging in a head-on battle, the Tiger Guards and Danyang's elite troops alone were enough to defeat Ze Rong's generals in a short period of time.
There are actually many soldiers and horses in Zuorong City, but one thing is that today is the Buddha Bathing Festival, and many soldiers and horses under Zuo Rong are scattered in various parts of Xiapi to maintain the order of the festival, and they are not able to gather together for a while.
Secondly, the years that Zuo Rong occupied Xiapi County really delayed serious matters.
He spent almost all the taxes hijacked from Tao Qian on religious matters such as building temples, pagodas and recruiting monks.
As for the military armament and troop drills in Xiapi City, Zuo Rong was basically at a standstill.
Other people's soldiers take the time to train every day, while Zuo Rong's soldiers cultivate their moral character every day.
The entire army was immersed in the ocean of Buddhism, and what the soldiers heard every day and night was Buddhist knowledge that could resolve hostility.
Religious sermons have the greatest influence on human nature. Imagine a group of soldiers whose job is to fight on the battlefield. Instead of training their bloody nature, they study Buddhism every day... Whenever they close their eyes after dark, the voice and smile of the Buddha are in their minds.
How much murderousness and fighting spirit are left in their bones?
They are all ordinary people, not Fahai, and certainly not the Fighting Buddha... Even if they shave their heads, they cannot fight monsters as soon as they go to the battlefield.
When the Buddhist army faces the Jinling Army, which has experienced many big waves in the past three years, the outcome can be imagined.
The bald soldiers and generals, under the continuous command and attack by Xu Chu and Tao Ji, did not even last for a quarter of an hour before they were already in retreat.
And Xu Chu himself took the lead, beheading dozens of bald heads in a row!
"Master! Tao's army is too powerful to resist the enemy. We'd better retreat temporarily and close the city gate!" The captain of Zuo Rong's army rushed to his side and advised Zuo Rong to return to the city quickly.
Zuo Rong had not been in battle for many years, so he would have never imagined that the Jinling Army would be so good at fighting and brave. In panic, he had no choice but to follow the captain's advice.
Although the old monk was unwilling to give up, he could see at this moment that the soldiers of the Tiger Guard were unparalleled in bravery, and the Danyang soldiers were the best in the world. Without the walls of Xipi as a barrier, the soldiers under his command would only be slaughtered.
"Ming Jin! The whole army retreats temporarily! Guard Xiapi City! King Protector, you will lead your troops to cut off the rear and prevent the Jinling Army from following us into the city. Buddha will command the whole army to enter the city, so as not to make any mistakes!!"
As Zuo Rong's order was issued, the monk army began to divide their respective tasks. The front of the Protector Wang could only block the troops of Xu Chu and Tao Ji, while Zuo Rong himself commanded the main force to enter the city.
But the problem is that Xiapi City is no longer safe!
After Chen Deng, Xu Rong, Zhou Tai and others helped Zhao Yu get rid of Zuo Rong's minions in Guangling, they immediately turned their troops and rushed to Xiapi City where Zuo Rong was located.
They had already agreed on a time with the pottery merchants, and almost at the same time, they launched an attack on Xiapi City.
Zuo Rong's main force was restrained by the pottery merchant at the south gate, while Chen Deng and others entered through the east gate.
With almost no decent defense, Xu Rong and Zhou Tai's troops entered the inner city of Xiapi and occupied the government office and arsenal in the city.
Chen Deng rode his horse and came to the government office. He frowned and looked towards Nancheng. Then he ordered Xu Rong and Zhou Tai: "Chen will go to the government office and sort out the household registration and county registers in the government office for post-war use."
In order to stabilize the people, the two generals quit their hard work and led their troops to the south gate, where they attacked Zuo Rong from front to back with the prince of the government in order to achieve complete victory."
Xu Rong and Zhou Tai surrendered their hands at the same time, then led their troops and left.
On the way to Nancheng, Xu Rong was not in a hurry, but asked Zhou Tai to lead his own troops as the vanguard, while he responded at his rear.
Zhou Tai didn't quite understand what Xu Rong meant at first, but then he suddenly realized it.
What a broad mind!
After Zhou Tai broke into the Jinling Army, except for the great defeat of Yuan Shu with Gan Ning, he has not made any great achievements since then.
Today's battle is already certain to win, Xu Rong is deliberately giving up the credit to fulfill himself.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tai could not help but feel a bit of respect and gratitude towards Xu Rong.
…
At this moment, outside Xiapi City, the formation of the monk army was already in chaos.
Zuo Rong wanted to recover his troops and horses into the city, but he was so naive that Xu Chu and Tao Ji did not give him a chance.
Because of the Buddha Bathing Ceremony, the city inside and outside the city is originally a perfect circle. It would be okay if Zuo Rong's soldiers and horses can resist the Jinling Army. But once they retreat quickly, there will be no time for a gap inside and outside the entire southern suspension bridge.
Let the drawbridge stow away.
Protector Wang in the Monk Army, whose methods of commanding soldiers are mediocre, how can he stop Xu Chu, who is good at fighting, and Tao Ji, who is calm?
The two of them were divided into two groups. Tao Ji led Danyang's elite soldiers to trap and kill the king's protector, while Xu Chu broke through his army formation and went to the suspension bridge. He occupied the suspension bridge and fought with Zuo Rong's Chinese army, not allowing the suspension bridge to have time.
was put away.
Under the suspension bridge, rivers of blood flowed, people fought, trampled and wailed countless times.
When Zuo Rong saw this, he was immediately worried. If the suspension bridge could not be retracted, wouldn't it mean that Picheng could no longer be defended?
Then the bad news came one after another.
The wounded and defeated soldiers in the city rushed to the south of the city and reported to Zuo Rong that a soldier and horse suddenly appeared in the east of the city. At this moment, they had already entered Xiapi. The government office, arsenal, money storehouse, and granary in Xiapi were all occupied by the opponent.
The enemy troops in the city were divided into two groups. One group was quelling the chaos in the city, while the other group was rushing toward the south gate to kill the general.
After hearing this, Zuo Rong fainted.
The young guarding monks on his left and right suddenly became anxious and hurriedly surrounded him. They pinched him, slapped his ears and shaved his ears, and finally woke up the unconscious Zuo Rong.
The first thing that happened when Zuo Rong woke up was that he burst into tears.
"Alas! Why doesn't Buddha protect me?"
The young monk under him said in a panic: "Master, Tao Jun is attacking from both sides at the moment, and Xiapi City is about to be lost. The top priority is to escape from here, go to other counties, gather troops and horses, and then take revenge!"
