Chapter 45: Talking and laughing and destroying the turret (5)
"Boom!"
On the high slope, Hou Jun gathered and Du Junchuo led the troops and began to accelerate.
They had just replaced their war horses, which were very powerful. At this moment, they were commanding from a high place, and their power was like a mountain torrent, and their momentum was astonishing.
When Yang Gongqing and Guo Shancai saw this, their expressions turned pale.
Such a powerful army could take away at least half of their men with just one attack.
To make matters worse, there are more Xuanjia soldiers chasing behind them, including Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, etc. Who is the bad guy!?
They couldn't allow them to think too much. The black armor soldiers who had just rushed downhill were hit by a wave of arrows.
With strong bows and heavy arrows, Zheng Jun's Shanwen chain mail could not withstand it. The arrows penetrated the armor and countless people screamed and fell off their horses.
Zheng Jun's already panic formation suddenly became more chaotic.
Immediately, Hou Junji and others changed into Changsha.
Because there was no interception on the road this time, Hou Junji and others did not flank the enemy's waist, but directly intercepted his front team.
The rear group of Zheng's army was naturally handed over to Qin Qiong and others.
This is a standard way of cutting off the head and removing the tail. I want a play style that leaves nothing behind.
In a flash of lightning, the two armies collided.
The Xuanjia soldiers were at a commanding height, allowing their horse speed to be fully utilized. Coupled with their advantages in combat power and equipment, the impact was extremely terrifying.
With just one face-to-face encounter, hundreds of Zheng soldiers were mercilessly penetrated by the long spears of the Xuanjia soldiers with screams and horses neighing.
But the Xuanjia soldiers suffered very few casualties.
Zheng Jun's feeble counterattack barely caused any delay to his opponent.
The bloody reality made Yang Gongqing look pale. He knew that this battle was completely unwinnable and he had already lost everything.
"Let's go, don't be obsessed with fighting!"
Yang Gongqing's heart skipped a beat and he roared at Guo Shancai.
Guo Shancai understood that this was to abandon the remnants of the army and the two of them fled for their lives alone. Although this was embarrassing, there was no other way.
"Walk!"
As soon as Guo Shancai gritted his teeth, he and Yang Gongqing abandoned the subordinates who were still struggling, and fled forward with only a few personal guards.
In troubled times, there are plenty of soldiers.
Surviving yourself is the first priority.
However, Yang Gongqing and Guo Shancai thought too beautifully.
A Tang army light cavalry did not choose to follow behind Hou Junji for a second round of assault. Instead, they drew their horses and headed towards the front of the Zheng army.
By coincidence, they happened to intercept Yang and Guo.
"Hahaha!" When he saw the gorgeous armors and flags of Yang and Guo, Li Daoxuan was so beautiful that his nose bubbled with tears.
"Yang Gongqing, Guo Shancai, it turns out it's you two!"
"My military advisor told me to move forward as soon as the fight started, saying that there would be a big fish. This was so effective!"
"You two are also famous generals in the Zheng army, but you abandon the army and run away like this, how shameless!"
"Come, come, come, this is Li Daoxuan, the prince of Huaiyang County in the Tang Dynasty, sending you on your way today."
Li Daoxuan deeply felt that Xia Yu was too kind to him. This was a clear opportunity for him to make great contributions. Well, he had to seize it.
Yang Gongqing and Guo Shancai looked at each other, their faces flushed with shame.
It was already embarrassing enough to abandon the army and run away, but to my surprise, people found out about it early on. It was really the last bit of humiliation.
"Don't talk nonsense to him and rush over." Yang Gongqing gritted his teeth.
Guo Shancai was beating a drum in his heart.
Of course he had heard of Li Daoxuan's reputation a long time ago. He was known as the best general in the Tang Army, but what could he do if he didn't fight tooth and nail now?
"rush!"
At that moment, the two Zheng Army generals roared angrily, clapped their horses and danced with each other, and attacked Li Daoxuan from a flank.
"Well done!"
Li Dao
Now, as soon as the little prince destroys the white dragon colt, he will fight against two.
The generals started fighting, and of course the subordinates on both sides would not be idle. They rushed forward one after another, preparing to fight to the death.
In an instant, the two armies met.
Yang Gongqing was the first to attack and stabbed Bai Longju in the head. Guo Shancai did not show weakness and stabbed Li Daoxuan in the throat.
After many years of friendship, the two have a tacit understanding.
Li Dao
He blocks neatly and dodges calmly, making him feel completely at ease.
Immediately, the Xiaojunwang counterattacked, and Dashan attacked fiercely and extremely quickly, stabbing Guo Shancai in the chest and abdomen.
Guo Shancai hurriedly used his sword, but was shocked by Li Daoxuan's huge force, which made his jaw go numb and he almost fell off his horse.
Just when he was frightened and pointed at Yang Gongqing to help and share the burden, something happened that completely destroyed his outlook:
Yang Gongqing actually made a feint and took advantage of Li Daoxuan being tripped. He slapped his horse and ran away.
And he walked very gracefully without taking away any clouds.
Guo Shancai: "..." Yang Gongqing, I didn't expect you to be such a person!
Li Daoxuan was even more confused: Damn it, Yang Gongqing, where is your limit? If you sell your teammates so easily, won't your conscience hurt?
For a moment, Li Daoxuan and Guo Shancai forgot to fight again, and they looked at each other in confusion.
After a long time, Li Daoxuan, whose outlook on life was completely ruined, came back to his senses. He pointed at Guo Shancai and said sympathetically: "General Guo, they have sold you, do you want to fight again?"
To be honest, he couldn't bear to kill this unfortunate guy.
Guo Shancai's face turned green and white for a while, and then he roared angrily: "Mr. Yang, I'll fuck your eight generations of ancestors!" After saying this, he abandoned his weapon and surrendered in despair.
Upon seeing this, all the Tang troops swarmed forward, pulled Guo Shancai off his horse, and tied him up.
Li Daoxuan turned around and tried to look for Yang Gongqing again, but he saw that he had already broken through the siege and escaped by riding alone.
Damn it, I can’t catch up!
Li Daoxuan was extremely upset and slapped his thigh hard. He did not dare to abandon his troops again and run to chase Yang Gongqing alone.
If he was reckless again, he estimated that Xia Yu could eat him alive.
Looking at someone's back walking away gracefully, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel disdainful, and uttered loudly: "Bah, you villain!"
At this time, the main force of the Xuanjia soldiers also caught up.
All the Tang troops worked together and began to encircle and suppress the remaining hundreds of Zheng troops.
The remnants of Zheng's army collapsed. Although they were from the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army and were very brave, they had no morale at this point in the battle.
What's more, with the coaches escaping and being captured, why are they still fighting?
"surrender!"
"surrender!"
At that moment, the remaining remnants of the army shouted in panic and raised their weapons. For being able to persist until now, they felt that they were worthy of Wang Shichong.
Outside the small encirclement, Qin Qiong and others looked at each other, a little undecided.
Xia Yu said, "Kill without mercy."
However, now that Zheng Jun has surrendered on his own initiative, is he going to kill the prisoners?
"Well, let's not do anything yet. I'll go ask the military advisor." Qin Qiong was loyal. As soon as he pulled out his horse, he galloped up the high slope to see Xia Yu.
"Military advisor." Qin Qiong said with fists clasped.
"Why not fight?" Xia Yu frowned.
"Military advisor, the remnants of the Zheng army surrendered voluntarily. The generals are undecided and want to-"
Xia Yu interrupted: "I said, kill without mercy!"
Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment: "Military advisor, Zheng's army has surrendered. It would be ominous to kill the prisoners."
Xia Yu's tone was very cold: "If you don't accept it, you will not be considered a prisoner. The tragic disaster of Yan'an Ji cannot be repeated. I want to teach future generations to warn them."
Xia Yu's words were extremely cruel and perhaps unfair to these Zheng Jun.
However, if it can serve as a warning to future generations and prevent horrific man-made disasters such as massacres and cannibalism from happening again, then it will all be worth it.
Qin Qiong was silent for a few seconds and nodded: "The little prince has just captured Guo Shancai, the general of the Zheng army, is it the same?"
Xia Yu thought for a while: "He will stay and be brought back to His Highness King Qin for his punishment."
Qin Qiong cupped his hands and rode away.
Soon, at the foot of the high slope, all the Xuanjia soldiers raised their horned bows and fired arrows amidst the frightened and desperate curses of the remaining soldiers of the Zheng army.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The arrows rained like a waterfall, the curses gradually stopped, and all the sins came to an end.
"Ta-ta!"
At this time, behind the formation of the Tang army, there was a sudden sound of horse hoofbeats, and all the Xuanjia soldiers reined in their horses and made way for a spacious passage.
Xia Yu controlled the horse and walked slowly.
The eyes around him were respectful and admiring.
The military only admires the strong, and the commander who can bring brilliant victory to the soldiers will undoubtedly win the heartfelt following of everyone.
In the center of the battle formation, corpses were piled up like mountains on pillows.
Fresh meat flowed all over the ground.
The broken flags cover the desolation.
The thick blood is so disgusting that people who have not experienced real battles can hardly imagine how terrifying this scene is.
Xia Yu felt sick in his heart, but he held it back.
He couldn't imagine that such a cruel result was directed by him.
However, he has no regrets.
In his mind, this war did not exist in history.
In other words, he, the butterfly, is already flapping his wings and changing this era, but he hopes it will be for the better, not for the worse.
"Pass my general's order!"
Xia Yu suddenly spoke out, her voice high-pitched and sharp.
"All of Zheng's troops are arrogant and build a palace! I want everyone in the world to know: Those who harm the people and harm them will end up like this!"
"As soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, you should keep in mind the mission of soldiers to protect your home and country! In this way, the Tang Dynasty will dominate the world!"
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!" In the valley, the mountains roared deafeningly.
