Chapter 384: Seeking
The Shenwu army has been living comfortably in Chang'an for too long, to be honest, Shi Chonglin is really not sure to use two hundred horsemen to deal with five hundred regular army cavalry, but it is different with five hundred horse bandits on the other side, if the two hundred Shenwu army under his command can't deal with five hundred horse bandits, he really has no face to return to Chang'an.
With confidence and pride on his face, Shi Chonglin led two hundred Shenwu army cavalry to line up in front, and after preparation, he raised the spear in his hand and pointed forward: "Meet the enemy-kill-"
"Kill-" The two hundred cavalry roared in response, and the army formation slowly moved forward, and then began to slowly accelerate.
After the two hundred Shenwu troops met him, Zhao Ziliang asked Brehan: "Have you found any other enemy troops around?" ”
Brehan immediately gestured to the sentry who was standing on a high place and was on guard, and soon received a response from the sentry's gesture, and no other enemy was found.
Zhao Ziliang was a little relieved, but now the situation is still unclear, and he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd.
After the cavalry of the two hundred Shenwu Army ran at speed, the momentum was not comparable to the five hundred horse bandits who came back on the opposite side, although the number of troops on the other side was more than doubled, but it was not as imposing as the cavalry of the two hundred Shenwu Army at all.
The sound of "rumbling" came from far and near, the knights on both sides sat on horseback and stared ahead, their faces were hideous, murderous, their bodies kept rising and falling, holding the reins in one hand and holding weapons in the other, as the two sides got closer and closer, their respective shouts of killing became louder and louder.
"Boom-" The two sides finally collided together, the dense and relatively neat formation of the cavalry of the Shenwu Army exerted the greatest overall strength, the horse bandits in the front row were knocked over on their backs, and the horse bandits in the back did not understand the situation, and they were knocked away one by one before they had time to react, some people were pierced by the Tang cavalry with spears like meat skewers, and some people were directly knocked out and fell to the ground and were drowned by the horses' hooves.
The real cavalry rushing into battle is definitely not the two sides in the film and television drama staggered formations and each rushing into the other party's formation, you have me, I have you, so chaotic into a piece to catch and kill each other, but all the cavalry as a whole will knock each other into pieces like cutting wheat and fall, in the end, who wins and who loses, to see whose formation is tight and neat, to see whose speed is fast, to see the impact force, to see who can not be afraid of life and death, indomitable, which side is timid when rushing into the formation, the speed will be slow, the strength will be smaller, and the reaction will become sluggish, Such a phalanx of cavalry would surely be defeated when it charged.
After continuously breaking down the seven or eight rows of horse bandit cavalry in front of the horse bandits, the cavalry of the Shenwu Army also began to suffer casualties, and the speed of the impact began to slow down, but the horse bandits were even more unbearable, and the formations on both sides had completely dispersed.
Once the escape formed a chain reaction, it almost became a domino, such a situation could not be reversed even if the gods were alive, and the horse bandits were quickly routed, and the defeat was complete.
"Defeated, defeated, defeated!" From time to time, some soldiers in the infantry formation of the Tang Army shouted excitedly.
Zhao Ziliang observed the situation with a telescope, but found that something was wrong, after putting down the telescope, he frowned, and Ashina Xin next to him frowned when he saw him, and asked: "General, have the horse bandits been defeated from time to time, why is the general still frowning?" ”
Zhao Ziliang touched the short stubble on his chin and asked, "Khan, don't you think this horse bandit was defeated too quickly?" Anyway, there are 500 men and horses, more than twice as many as Shi Chonglin, even if they are defeated, they won't be defeated without surviving a single face, right? ”
"Sh-" Ashina Xin gasped, his face frightened, "Is the general saying that this gang of horse bandits was deliberate and not really defeated?" Then their purpose is not simple! ”
At this time, the horse bandits had been completely defeated, and Shi Chonglin was fighting up, in order to expand the results of the battle, he completely forgot Zhao Ziliang's order not to pursue, and chased away with the cavalry of the Shenwu Army.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't care about talking to Ashina Xin at this time, and immediately said to Bolhan: "You immediately personally catch up with the general and pass on the generals, and order Shi Chonglin to lead the army back immediately, and don't fall in love!" ”
"Yes!" Brehan promised to chase after him with a horse.
Shi Chonglin took the cavalry of the Shenwu Army to chase the horse bandits for five miles, and was finally caught up by Brehan, who conveyed Zhao Ziliang's strict order to Shi Chonglin, and Shi Chonglin was unwilling to stop the horse, and returned with the cavalry of the Shenwu Army, and in front of him was a dense rock desert area, full of towering yellow-brown rocks that were very weathered.
On a towering rock more than 20 meters high, several horse bandit leaders wearing black scarves and a masked man wearing brocade robes appeared on the top of this towering rock, and one of the masked horse bandit leaders saw that the cavalry of the Shenwu Army actually stopped in front of this rock desert and quickly returned, and immediately said in surprise: "Why did they suddenly stop and return in this ・・・・・・?" Did they know there was an ambush here? It's impossible, there are no Tang Army detective cavalry scout posts around, we came here after the Tang Army scout sentry passed, avoiding their exploration route, it is impossible for the Tang Army generals to have an ambush here! Mr. Liang, what now? Your strategy of luring the enemy deep and annihilating them one by one doesn't seem to work very well! ”
The masked man known as Mr. Liang was also a little surprised and helpless at this time, he could see clearly that the captain who led the troops just now was obviously going to lead the troops to kill, but he was persuaded by a cavalryman who was chasing after him.
Sighing secretly, Mr. Masked Liang said: "Zhao Ziliang, who is famous all over the world, really lives up to his reputation, and he actually sees through the plan to encroach one by one!" ”
A short-looking horse bandit leader next to him shouted: "What's the matter, it's not your subordinates who dare to die, these are all Lao Tzu's sons, five hundred people and horses, and less than three hundred have come back, I'll wipe it, I'll lose a lot of money, Mr. Liang, what do you say now?" Nearly 300 of my men can't die in vain, right? ”
Mr. Liang's face changed, but because he was masked, no one saw his face change, but his eyes and the momentum on his body quickly made several horse bandit leaders around him feel it, and the atmosphere was condensed.
After a while, Mr. Masked Liang said: "Don't worry, the master of Song Da will pay you two hundred yuan for one person, and not a penny will be lost to you!" ”
"Two hundred and one life? Mr. Liang, human life is too worthless for you, right? No, at least a thousand people! ”
The masked Mr. Liang turned to look at the sturdy horse bandit, and said coldly: "Song Da is in charge, a fixed price, four hundred yuan per person!" You have to know that you can't be too greedy, people are already dead, and it is much better to be able to get a little than nothing, what do you think? ”
Seeing that although Mr. Liang looked like a weak scholar, he had an inviolable momentum of freedom, he was actually suppressed, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, four hundred is four hundred, I hope Mr. Liang doesn't break his promise, otherwise other colleagues in the mountains will not agree!" ”
"Don't worry about this, I'm Liang someone, and I won't lose a penny to you!"
Another horse bandit leader said at this time: "Mr. Liang, what now?" It is no longer feasible to want to nibble at them, if you want to ambush, their sentry scouts are frequently dispatched, and even the most dangerous places will not let go of exploration, it is difficult for us to ambush them, if we can't solve them before entering the eight hundred miles of Mohe Yan Mo, it will be impossible to do it again, the eight hundred miles of Mo He Yan Mo is too terrifying, everyone is fair there, let alone dealing with them, the quicksand can bury all of us at any time."
Mr. Liang thought for a while and said, "There is no other way but to find a favorable terrain to fight Zhao Ziliang in a decisive battle!" ”
Song Da, the leader of the horse bandits, was surprised: "What? Fight head-on with the Tang Army? Mr. Liang, you're not kidding, you're letting us die! ”
Mr. Liang was dissatisfied: "Why are you going to die? I said that Song Da is in charge, you have a total of 5,000 people, and they are less than 1,200 people, five times the number, although Zhao Ziliang is powerful, he is also only one person, can't you beat one of the five of your subordinates? ”
In this way, the leader of the horse bandits thinks it's right, but he can't beat one out of five? Even if the soldiers of the Tang Army are strong in battle, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four legs, and the siege will not kill you!
However, the leaders of the horse bandits are the masters who do not see rabbits and do not scatter eagles, and Song Da asked: "Mr. Liang, if you win the war, I am afraid that the brothers will also suffer heavy casualties, and the families of the brothers under him will have money to compensate, so how many brothers do we have?" Our brothers can't do things for Mr. Liang in vain, right? ”
The masked Mr. Liang said with a smile: "Song Da is a fast man, Liang likes to deal with people like Song Da Da, I can give you two choices, choose one: first, a reward of 100,000 yuan per person; Second, give each of your brothers an official position, at least a county lieutenant or a battalion lieutenant! ”
Master Song and several other horse bandit leaders glanced at each other and asked, "Is Mr. Liang serious?" ”
Mr. Liang said with a smile: "You have already received the meeting gift, and besides, don't you know who the person behind Liang is?" With that adult talking, even if you let Er wait to be the first governor and county magistrate, it will be a matter of one sentence! ”
Several bandit leaders got together and discussed for a while, some people had a deep prejudice against the government, and they did not want to be officials, preferring to choose 100,000 yuan, and some people did not want money, but chose to be officials, so everyone soon had their own choices.
Mr. Masked Liang took a parchment map and studied it on the side, and after waiting for several horse bandit leaders to make a choice, he stood up and clicked on a location on the map and said: "Since you all have a choice, then let's defeat Zhao Ziliang and his 1,000 Tang army first, and then say, please order all your men and horses to retreat one hundred and fifty miles, rest and wait here, and we will defeat Zhao Ziliang here."
"Good, good ・・・・・・". (To be continued.) )
