After seizing the military power of the 30,000 army, Yang Tong did not rush to quell the rebellion, but pulled all the troops to Zhoushan, which is on the border between Loufu County and Taiyuan.

This is a strategic place to go south and north, and he set up camp here, while waiting for Liu Wuzhou's arrival, while digesting the army.

In addition to appointing the second-grade and third-grade martial arts bachelors of the Jingwu Army as officers, he also made Gao Junya the commander of this army! As for Luo Shixin, he took over the Nutao Battalion, and the Xuanjia Army was led by Yang Tong himself.

On this day, a scout rushed to Wang Wei to report: "Your Highness, Liu Wuzhou's army has assembled in Xiurong County, Loufu County, with about 80,000 people. ”

"How's the equipment?" Yang Tong's eyes flashed.

"The clothes are mixed, some wear two-gear armor, some wear leather armor, some only wear cloth clothes, and the weapons are also messy, spears, short knives, and even hoes."

"Are there cavalry?"

"General Hui, the cavalry is five thousand, but it is very chaotic."

Yang Tong laughed, judging by his experience, this was a mixed rabble. But think about it, Liu Wuzhou is just an eagle general, how high can he be in the military?

Fang Xuanling said: "Liu Wuzhou, this rat finally couldn't help but come out and die, Your Highness, the minister suggested following Liu Wuzhou and directly penetrating Lou Fu, Yanmen, and Mayi!" The other counties were handed over to General Gao Junya to recover! ”

Under the influence of Yang Dong, Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao, and other literati also liked Yang Dong's domineering way of doing things, and they didn't want to be polite to people with ghosts in their hearts!

"Good!" Yang Tong said with a smile: "As soon as the army moves, Wang Wei will act according to the plan!" ”

Fang Xuanling said excitedly: "Huh! ”

…………

Liu Wuzhou is very depressed!

Since he started his army, he has been in a miserable situation of food shortage, and at present, the cattle and sheep given to him by the Turks are basically exhausted, and if there is no harvest, this winter will be very sad.

In this winter, it was difficult for Shibi Khan to help him, so the only way was to plunder to the south.

Liu Wuzhou also knew that his army was all forcibly conscripted civilians, and a few months ago they were still farming in the fields and working as men in wine shops, they had not experienced real battlefield killings, and they had a deep fear of death. The reason why the four counties were captured in one go was because of the help of the Turks, and second, the people had no way to live, which led to the invincibility of the soldiers. Although this expanded the territory, but it was not tempered by the war, and the recruits were recruits after all, and the only thing he could rely on was more than 20,000 people made up of family slaves and government soldiers.

Such an army is not at all an opponent of the regular army, he knows each other well. But he didn't expect that Yang Tong cut off his way south, and if this big stone was not moved, his army would collapse on its own due to lack of food. So, even if you can't beat it, you have to try it.

However, his number one general, Song Jingang, had a different opinion, feeling that this was no different from sending him to death.

"Your Majesty!"

During the march, Song Jingang made a final effort: "Our soldiers have not experienced war, and they are not opponents of the regular army at all, and Yang Dong's soldiers are all good at fighting." We really are no match for him, retreat. ”

"Retreat?"

Liu Wuzhou looked at Song Jingang in surprise: "You...... What does that mean? We retreat from the army, what do we eat? ”

Song Jingang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, we will definitely not be able to fight, we will give up the trouble of leaving the stone and the building, fix the Xinkou City, and then reduce the army and raise the army with the people!" Relying on dangerous passes, an elite army has been trained. ”

This is also the contradiction between Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou's ideas.

Liu Wuzhou was a native of Mayi, close to the steppe people, and he greatly advocated the idea of maintaining military power by plundering; In recent years, the rebellion has been surging, and the rebels who live by plundering have almost disappeared, and the forces that survive and grow are all raised by the people, such as Du Fuwei and Wang Bo in the south. Sun Xuanya, Gao Shida, and Zhang Jincheng, who were mainly robbers, all died one after another, and the Wagang army during the period when Zhai Rang was the main party could not get the support of the local people.

Song Jingang persuaded Liu Wuzhou more than once, but both sides broke up unhappily.

"The army can only remove impurities after being eliminated again and again, and the last ones who survive are the real elites! Let's not talk about disarmament. Let's talk about the threshold in front of us. ”

Liu Wuzhou is a good person, he is reluctant to listen to the advice, and he is also generous in order to win people, but he also has his own concerns: "Our army is already good and bad, if we leave like this, the army's spirit will be scattered." Moreover, the other party is a cavalryman, and he can't escape. ”

Song Jingang sighed: "I'm worried about Ma Yi and Yanmen! ”

Liu Wuzhou gasped, "You mean, Yang Tong is very likely to go around behind us?" ”

Song Jingang said: "It's not to go around our backs, but the Jizhou soldiers are out of the valley flying fox." Our defenders are afraid that they are no match for each other. ”

Liu Wuzhou was furious: "Then you didn't say it earlier? ”

Song Jingang smiled bitterly: "I've said it a few times!" ”

Liu Wuzhou said: "Then retire!" ”

Song Jingang: "I hope it's too late to ......"

As soon as the words fell.

A high horn suddenly sounded, and suddenly the war horse roared, shouting to kill the heavens, and the earth was shaking, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were shocked in their hearts, only to see that the endless army was really rushing towards it.

Tens of thousands of troops swept in eight phalanxes, like mountains and forests, stretching for two or three miles, the terrible murderous aura permeated the heaven and the earth, a huge battle flag danced vigorously in the wind, and the dazzling word "Sui" carried an astonishing prestige.

Liu Wuzhou's face suddenly changed, he had never seen such a strict cavalry formation, he couldn't help but look at the soldiers behind him, and saw that these soldiers had a faint look of fear on their faces, even Song Jingang's face also showed a dignified look.

The sergeants swallowed nervously, their hands holding their weapons trembled slightly, some bandits, bandits and the like were not afraid, but they had never seen such a large-scale battle, they were all pale and at a loss.

"Husband! How to fight? Shui Tianji exclaimed affectionately.

Yang Tong looked at the black pressure in front of him, and said to Qin Qiong beside him: "Since the debut of this king, I have never seen tens of thousands of troops put together like this, and the momentum is huge!" ”

Qin Qiong said: "It's just a group of rabble, if you kill it, you will definitely be able to disperse them." ”

"Cavalry charges can crush them, but we will also lose." Yang Tong said to Shui Tianji: "Concubine Wu, let them see the power of the Flying Feather Bow first. Ejection! ”

"Yes!" Shui Tianji smiled sweetly, and hurriedly ordered the Flying Feather Bow to rush out, and countless sharp arrows shot towards the rebels, and the black pressure on the opposite side didn't even aim at all, and fell straight towards the opponent's army.

What is surprising is that the target of the flying feather archers is not the enemy army on the opposite side, but the sky!

At this time, I saw that the arrows that shot high in the air unexpectedly flew a considerable distance, drew a large parabola, and rained down on the opposing team. Although there was no specific target to aim, the range was quite extensive, and wave after wave, without stopping—the flying feather archers fired in three rows, in a cycle, forming an intermittent rain of arrows, which suddenly became a terrible nightmare for the enemy.

"Raise your shield."

Liu Wuzhou saw that the other party opened his bow and arrows and knew that something was wrong, and quickly ordered someone to raise a shield to block in front of him, but he heard a burst of screams coming from behind, he looked back, but saw that the enemy shot more than a hundred steps of bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows all fell dozens of steps behind him, those soldiers had not had time to defend, they were shot one after another, fortunately they were shot by an arrow, but the unlucky one was shot by a hedgehog, and they were already dead and could not die again.

"Shoot the arrows." There was another coquettish shout in the distance, a loud roar came from the air again, and the dark clouds covered the sun again, and there was a scream behind him, and hundreds of soldiers fell under the opponent's bow and arrow, but he didn't even kill the other party at this time.

"Damn!"

Song Jingang saw it clearly, his heart was extremely angry, his eyes were red, he had always charged ahead, he had never been so aggrieved today, he didn't even touch the enemy's clothes, and he was shot by the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, 10,000 flying feather archers radiated wave after wave, harvesting the lives and morale of the enemy army to their heart's content.

With a scream, the enemy fell to the ground, and most of the parts of the arrows were shoulders, heads, and limbs. Caught off guard, many soldiers were crucified alive and miserable. Although they were also equipped with simple leather shields, they could not fully resist the rain of arrows falling from the sky. This sudden change also stunned Liu Wuzhou, and he didn't know what to do for a while, looking at the thousands of dead and injured people in the blink of an eye, he woke up like a dream and shouted: "Protect the top of your head, change the column and rush over!" ”

"Your Majesty, they have stopped." Song Jingang suddenly pointed to the distance and said.

Liu Wuzhou looked over, and sure enough, he found that this cavalry was stopped in the distance, about a hundred paces away, and was standing there quietly, looking at himself with more than 30,000 unmoved cavalrymen.

"Damn."

Liu Wuzhou has achieved today's career because of mobile combat, and at a glance he knows what Yang Tong wants to do, it is clear that once he acts, the other party will kill him, but for this way, he has no way to deal with it at all, he can't hit the other party if he wants to, and if he wants to run, he can't run on two legs.

"Your Majesty, what now?" Song Jingang said angrily.

"After gathering the cavalry together, the rest of the army is slowly advancing, and I don't believe that Yang Dong will attack our ranks." Liu Wuzhou also had a faint trace of regret in his heart!

If you knew this, you should have listened to Song Jingang, and turned around and retreated. At the moment, his eyes rolled and said: "Yang Tong is trying to slow us down, in order to gradually encroach on us, in this case, we will use the old and weak to break the back, the elite in front, give up everything that can be discarded, and our actions can be faster." ”

"Okay." Song Jingang agreed without hesitation.

"Let's go." Liu Wuzhou glanced at Yang Tong in the distance, and when he saw the army dispatched, the archers moved again, and the war horses trotted for a while, and the distance was getting closer and closer to him, Liu Wuzhou had already noticed that the soldiers around him were a little frightened, although the cavalry in the distance did not attack, but it was far greater than the deterrent effect of the attack.

"Attack."

Shui Tianji saw that the army on the opposite side had marched, and commanded the soldiers proudly in her heart, there was a roar, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and when she rushed to fifty steps, she led the soldiers to rush to the side, stretched her bow and set up arrows, it was a rain of arrows, the rain of arrows whistled, and fell on the heads of the soldiers advancing in front, and more than a few thousand people fell to the ground again.

When Liu Wuzhou reacted, Shui Tianji led the cavalry to gallop again, and the two widened the distance, so that even if Liu Wuzhou wanted to attack, he couldn't reach the opponent's war horse, but the soldiers around him were already frightened.

At this moment, the drums of war sounded again, Yang Tong finally dispatched, the army was divided into seven formations, rushed out like a mountain and a tsunami, shaking the earth, the rebels who were originally preparing to retreat were immediately rushed away by the terrible cavalry, and then they were either trampled to death, or they were picked to kill, tens of thousands of elite horsemen were invincible, the heads were flying, the torsos were torn apart, the corpses on the ground were piled up, there was no complete corpse, and the stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere, which was miserable.

Tens of thousands of cavalry were unstoppable and headed directly towards the Chinese army.

Song Jingang had already woken up from the chaos, and at this time he was flustered, turned around and shouted, "Retreat!" ”

He didn't care about Liu Wuzhou anymore, and shouted: "Retreat to the mountain." ”

He had just broken out of the encirclement, but he saw a thousand cavalry standing dozens of steps away, led by a general dressed in brilliant silver armor, with a saddle cracking the sky lance, holding a huge bow in his hand, seeing Song Jingang rushing out of the encirclement, he sneered, pulled the bow like a full moon, and an iron arrow came out of the string, and an arrow shot through Song Jingang's head, and the iron arrow pierced through the brain.

Song Jingang fell from his horse and died tragically under Yang Dong's arrow.

Yang Tong put down his bow and ordered: "Pass my order, those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will be killed!" ”

Song Jingang was killed, the "emperor" Liu Wuzhou was nowhere to be seen, the rebels who had collapsed their fighting spirit surrendered on their knees, and the soldiers who broke through to the east were also surrounded by cavalry and all were killed.

"This battle is going on... I don't know what to say..."Luo Shixin really couldn't help but vomit.

Qin Qiong agreed: "It's much worse than the rebels I encountered in the past!" ”

"Well understood!" Yang Tong said: "Whether it is Jizhou or Henan Province, it has been chaotic for seven or eight years, and those bandits who survived are the strongest of the strong!" Liu Wuzhou's soldiers were a rabble, and Li Yuan had never fought seriously, so of course it was easy for us to deal with. ”
