Chapter 1016: Annihilation
Not long after Zhao Ziliang gave the order, a firework shot into the night sky on the west side of the barracks, which attracted everyone's attention, and Xuan Shiba, who was beside him, said to Zhao Ziliang: "King, this is a signal from the Huya Army, they have infiltrated the camp and found Xuan Jiu and others, and now they are rescuing!" ”
This signal will undoubtedly attract the attention of Sha Chali, the rescued Huya Army squad is likely to be discovered, a battle is only inevitable, Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "This king also asked to find Zhang Ben and asked him to order the squad that infiltrated the camp to cooperate with the main force of the army, now it seems that it is too late!" Sha Chali dared to incite the soldiers to fight against the imperial court, ten thousand deaths were not enough to forgive his sins, and the order was passed down, and the whole army was ready to attack! ”
Li Mi hurriedly stopped: "The king can't, the crime of Sha Zhali alone can't be borne by all the soldiers of the Fengxiang Army!" Please think twice! ”
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand to prevent others from dissuading, "The generals of the Fengxiang Army are all living people with heads, they are not domesticated livestock, although it is the duty of a soldier to obey military orders, but it also depends on what the orders of the superior generals are, do they let them rebel, he will really rebel?" Are they pigs? Obviously, Sha Zhali's order is wrong, and they still have to rebel with him, they are no longer my Datang soldiers, they are rebels! The rebels should be exterminated, now that the state affairs are difficult, and the prestige of the imperial court is weak, if I wait here today to compromise with the rebels, then Zhongxing Datang will become far away, or even an empty word! From now on, the imperial court must say 'no' to all acts of rebellion, never tolerate or condone such acts, resolutely crack down, and impose the most cruel punishments on the generals and officials who launch the rebellion. Ma Sui sent someone over to shout, 'Within a quarter of an hour, if anyone in Fengxiang's army kills Sha Chali and leads his troops to the next level, the official will be promoted to one level, and he will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, one hundred horses of brocade, and one hundred acres of fields; Those who capture Sha Chali alive and lead their subordinates will be promoted to the third rank, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of land, a mansion, and a hundred servants', go! ”
"Yes!" Ma then agreed, and immediately arranged for a lieutenant to go and shout. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A quarter of an hour after the shouting was completed, there was still no one in the barracks to escort Sha Zali out, but there was a shout of killing in the barracks, and Zhao Ziliang immediately decided: "Attack!" ”
Ma then got the order, pulled out his waist knife and pointed forward: "All the soldiers listen to the order and attack!" First echelon, sortie! ”
The cavalry in the first row heard the order and beat their horses forward, after the speed of the war horses ran, everyone disappeared on the horseback, Zhao Ziliang knew that these soldiers were hiding under the belly of the horse, but the Feng Xiang army in the camp only saw some war horses rushing over, and there was no one on the horseback, which made them a little overwhelmed.
"General, this ・・・・・・" The generals couldn't help but look at Sha Chali when they saw this situation.
Sha Zali frowned, "What the hell are they doing?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that these originally empty war horses and horses suddenly appeared on the back of the cavalry, only to see these people raise their arms, one by one the lassos flew towards the wooden fence, while the stumbling rope flew over, the knights on horseback turned around, and when it was completed, the lasso had been put on the wooden fence, and with the horseback of the knights pulling, the rows of wooden fences in front of the soldiers of the Fengxiang Army were pulled down.
Seeing this, Ma Sui hugged his fist to Zhao Ziliang and said, "King, it's almost!" ”
"Then attack, let's start!"
"No!"
Ma Sui shouted: "Soldiers, all attack with me!" Bow and arrow ready, rush! ”
"Rush!" The cavalry of the convoy beat their horses and rushed to the barracks with their horses.
The sudden change left the Fengxiang army at a loss, the only barrier in front was gone, and the cavalry had a natural offensive advantage over the infantry.
A large number of horses' hooves rumbled, and the horses roared: "Disperse!" "The originally dense and neat formation of the cavalry of the escort army spread out in the shortest possible time.
The Tang army's bow and arrow attack is not a joke, of course there are a large number of archers in the Fengxiang army, they are not those barbarian soldiers and horses, nor are they the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions, their bow and arrow range is not inferior to the cavalry bows and arrows of the Western Qin army, if the light cavalry is lined up in a dense and neat formation, it will inevitably become a live target, but if it is dispersed, the casualties can be minimized, although it is not clear to see the deployment of Sha Zali in the military camp, but Ma Sui's command is absolutely correct, Zhao Ziliang is extremely satisfied with this.
"Shoot the arrows!" With another roar from the horses, the bows and arrows of the cavalry of the escort army continued to shoot into the camp, and a scream came out, and a large number of arrows flew from the camp, although the cavalry of the escort army and the horses were wearing armor, but there were still people who were hit by arrows and fell.
Fortunately, the distance of the sprint is not far, the time is not long, and the launch time of the foot bow is far longer than that of the riding bow, the cavalry of the escort army has fired five rounds of arrows, and the Fengxiang army in the military camp has only fired two rounds of arrows in front of him, and the horse then led the army to rush into the Fengxiang army in the camp.
The Fengxiang army was in chaos on the spot, and the horses that had changed their long weapons were quickly slashed and killed, and then there were constantly escort cavalry rushing into the formation, screams, shouts and cries kept spreading, and the Fengxiang army sergeants gathered in pieces were scattered, and the soldiers died and fled.
After the escort army rushed into the camp, under the command of Ma Sui, it was once again assembled into a neat formation in the high-speed gallop at the fastest speed to rush back and forth, and the Fengxiang army was in a mess, and at this time, the weakness of lack of military discipline, lack of training, lack of courage, and low combat effectiveness was revealed.
Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied with Ma Sui's on-the-spot command, this series of commands, Ma Sui did not make a single mistake, even if he changed himself, he may not do better.
At this time, a school captain rode over and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "King, the emperor has sent an envoy with a holy decree!" ”
"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is the envoy?" ”
"It's the eunuch Ju Wenzhen!"
"Is that him? Could it be that this old eunuch wants to play some tricks? Zhao Ziliang muttered, waved his hand and said, "Let them come over!" ”
"Yes, King!"
Ju Wenzhen quickly came over on horseback with two little eunuchs and more than a dozen soldiers of the forbidden army, and he bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Regent, Your Majesty is worried about the rebellion after hearing the news here, so he sent a miscellaneous family to bring the decree, please ask the regent to accept the decree!" ”
Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the holy decree!" ”
Ju Wenzhen waved his head to a little eunuch next to him, the little eunuch immediately stepped forward and handed over the holy decree to Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang looked at the content of the holy decree under the torch held by the soldier next to him, and immediately said to Ju Wenzhen: "Father-in-law Ju, please go back and tell Your Majesty, just say that Sha Zhali gathered people to rebel, and this king has ordered the guards to attack, and the holy decree is afraid that it will not be implemented!" ”
Ju Wenzhen said angrily: "Regent, do you dare to resist the decree? Now you immediately order the convoy to withdraw from the barracks, and let Shazhali come out to take the order! ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "The two sides are already at war, and they can't withdraw, so they can only fight to the end!" ”
"You ・・・・・・ good, very good, the miscellaneous family will definitely report your disobedience to Your Majesty!"
Zhao Ziliang didn't bother to pay attention to him, "Please!" ”
The battle lasted only half an hour before it ended, but the cleaning of the battlefield, the capture of the fleeing rout, and the collection of surrendered troops did not end until after dawn.
Zhao Ziliang had breakfast in the barracks of Fengxiangjun, which was made of Fengxiangjun's military rations, a large drawer of steamed buns and a roast sheep, and he was full.
As soon as he dropped the last sheep bone, Ma Sui walked in and hugged his fist and reported: "King, all the fleeing rout soldiers have been captured, and all the generals have been taken into custody, and the battlefield has been cleaned up, Sha Chali has been wounded, and more than ten people have been captured along with his henchmen." More than 3,800 people were beheaded, and more than 8,100 soldiers were captured and recaptured, and General Xuanjiu and others were safe and sound, waiting for the king to summon them outside the tent. Our army suffered more than 200 casualties! Ninety-eight of them were killed and one hundred and twenty-two wounded! ”
Zhao Ziliang instructed: "Strictly guard the defeated troops and surrendered generals, and do not slack off. Order the soldiers to take turns to eat and rest! ”
"Yes!" The horse clenched his fists and turned to leave.
Zhao Ziliang instructed the guards standing next to him: "Let Xuan Jiu outside come in, and then notify Gao Shang, Li Mi and others to come over." In addition, send someone to the palace and ask Du Fu to notify the crown prince, Prime Minister Yuan Zai, and all the officials above the third rank in the court to come here in the name of the king! ・・・・・・ sent someone to the palace to report to the emperor, saying that the Shazhali rebellion had been put down, and that His Majesty the Emperor could rest assured that no one could harm His Majesty with the presence of this king. This king will later enter the palace to tell His Majesty the whole story of this incident! ”
"Yes, King!"
Xuan Jiu quickly walked in, and he bowed to Zhao Ziliang and asked for guilt: "Weichen is not effective, not only failed to arrest Sha Chali, but also caused the soldiers to be imprisoned, Weichen has embarrassed the king, please punish the king!" ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "In that situation, you can always lead the soldiers to confront Sha Zhali to attract his attention, so that he can't deal with the guards wholeheartedly, you have done a good job, you are not guilty, get up!" You haven't slept all night, take your brothers to eat something, have a good rest, and have business to do tomorrow! ”
"Yes, King!"
Soon, Gao Shang and Li Mi walked in, and the two saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Meet the king!" ”
"The two of you are here? Have you had breakfast? If that's right, this king still has it here! Zhao Ziliang beckoned to the two and said.
The two said: "Thank you for the king's kindness, I have both eaten!" ”
Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down, and said: "The matter of Sha Zhali has been basically solved so far, but this matter is not over yet, and the aftermath has to be dealt with." There are more than 8,000 people in the army and the surrender of generals, how should we deal with these people? What about Shazari and his henchmen? And what should I do? The king wants to hear your opinions! ”
