Chapter 541: The Fall of the Hero

(It's the second half of the month again, ask for a monthly pass!) )

"Fuck it!"

In the chaos of the army, Wang Xianzhi spat blood on the ground, and just when he was rushing to kill, he was shot. The shot was in the abdomen, piercing his leather armor and bleeding profusely. He looked back, and there were people and horses of the Yellow Nest everywhere in all directions. Although many of them were unarmored recruits, holding only a spear with an iron spear in their hands, the tiger could not withstand the wolves, and his hands were invincible to four fists.

His more than 3,000 light horsemen were finally slowed down by these flesh and blood of Huang Chao, and they were surrounded at the very back. The cavalry had to rein in their horses, swing their weapons and slash left and right, and the speed became slower and slower.

The greatest advantage of cavalry is mobility, the power lies in flexible maneuvers, and the ability to quickly capture the enemy's weakness, and then break through and cut in, tearing the enemy line. If they are caught in the middle of the formation, the cavalry is even inferior to the infantry in formation. The infantry of the Yellow Nest were now like wolves gathered, constantly rushing forward, dragging one cavalry after another off their horses and dragging them into the formation to kill.

The three brothers Ge Congzhou, Huo Cun, and Zhang Guiba commanded their subordinates to surround and kill Wang Xianzhi in one fell swoop. The streets and alleys of the city, which were already narrow, were now in the middle of an infantry formation, and several knights had to fall for almost every step forward.

Wang Xianzhi had already exchanged news with Wang Jingwu just now, and Wang Jingwu asked him to lead his troops to drag the three fierce generals under Huang Chao, so that the Qizhou soldiers could adjust the array and kill Huang Chao. But right now, Wang Xianzhi didn't want to put his life on the line, seeing that Ge Cong was about to close together, he hurriedly made thirty-six plans and walked as the best plan. Again. Wang Xianzhi escaped again.

The light cavalry rose to strength. Fight your way out of the bloody road fiercely. Quickly get out of the fight.

The Ge Cong Wednesday brothers looked at Wang Xianzhi who had fled, and spat fiercely on the ground, full of contempt, but they could only watch them walk away. No matter how brave they were, they were only two-legged infantry, and they couldn't catch up with four-legged cavalry.

The 1,000 light cavalry led by Lin Yan wanted to outflank the rear road, but unfortunately they were still one step behind, and they couldn't intercept it until they chased Wang Jingwu's Qizhou army infantry formation. I could only watch Wang Xianzhi flee behind the Qizhou soldiers.

Although Wang Xianzhi was useless and escaped from the battle again, in order to surround Wang Xianzhi, Huang Chao's own formation was already scattered. The elite cavalry attack was not only futile, but rushed to the front of the Qizhou infantry. In the same way, their elite infantry also broke away from their own formation, and chased them all the way to the front of the opponent's formation, and they were already disconnected from their own formation. In addition, there are still many soldiers and horses that have not been gathered, and Huangchao's soldiers and horses are weaker than those of Wang Jingwu and Wang Xianzhi.

However, although there are few Huang Chao soldiers, they are fierce and deadly. Huang Chao didn't go through the whole formation again. Directly shouted, and the herald blew the horn. Lin Yan led a thousand light cavalry to advance without retreating, and directly killed Wang Jingwu's flank infantry, while Ge Congzhou also immediately accelerated and led his troops directly into the Qizhou army.

The archers of the Qizhou soldiers only had time to shoot a wave of arrows, and the two armies were already in close quarters, fighting together.

Judging from the scene, both armies were extremely chaotic, but it was obvious that the Huangchao Army was more accustomed to chaos in the two armies. Although the equipment and armor of the Qizhou soldiers are better and the training is more sufficient, the Qizhou soldiers are weaker in this completely chaotic battle. What's even more fatal is that the Qizhou soldiers blindly believed in Wang Xianzhi, and while facing the Huang Chao soldiers, they transferred Wang Xianzhi to attack Lin Yan's cavalry from behind.

It's just that when Zhang Chan, the general of Qizhou, led the infantry to kill, he didn't see Wang Xianzhi's support for a long time. Looking back, I couldn't help but be angry, and jumped to scold my mother. Wang Xianzhi actually abandoned them and fled directly.

The heart of the Qizhou soldiers vibrate, watching the cavalry behind them flee, thinking that the rear army had been defeated, panicked at the moment, and their morale was gone. At this moment, Lin Yan and Ge Congzhou's infantry and cavalry cooperated tacitly, and the tide-like attack was extremely ferocious, and it was completely a desperate fight. Although the Qizhou soldiers said that they were rebels, their predecessors were actually officers and soldiers. These officers and soldiers are not composed of outlaws such as homeless salt dealers like the grass army.

Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, most of the grass thieves are rotten and fearless, but the Qizhou soldiers are not suitable for such a style of play, and they are gradually falling behind.

At this time, Zhang Chan suddenly killed an army behind him, but it was Zhu Wen, who chased Bi Shiduo for a long time, but was picked up by Wang Xianzhi's fleeing cavalry. Zhu Wen was angry, but he also knew that he couldn't beat Wang Xianzhi, so he went all the way around here and happened to appear behind Zhang Chan.

Zhu Wen led the army to rush over, and the morale of Zhang Chan's department, which had already reached the bottom, suddenly collapsed directly.

Zhang Chan's department collapsed, which quickly caused a chain reaction. After Wang Xianzhi and Zhang Chan were defeated one after another, Lin Yan, Zhu Wen, and Ge Cong attacked Wang Jingwu's main formation from the flank. Wang Jingwu and Huang Chao were fighting, and they were killed by the oblique down, and they suddenly couldn't support it, and they were quickly defeated. Immediately, the entire Qizhou army was defeated, and Huangchao won the most decisive victory and began to encircle and suppress everywhere.

Huang Chao saw that the two kings were gone, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not happy immediately, but immediately ordered the whole army to hunt down and kill the two divisions, and there was no need to take the heads of Wang Xianzhi and Wang Jingwu.

Huang Chao's troops scattered and pursued at the moment, and at this moment, the upheaval arose again.

When Duan Shan and Song Xi saw that Wang Xianzhi and Wang Jingwu were defeated, they had already immediately snatched the empty city gate and issued a signal to seize the city.

The 60,000 Pinglu army rushed into the city, the praying mantis caught the cicada, and the yellow finch followed.

At this time, both Wang Jingwu's army and Huang Chao's army had already dispersed, but although Wang Xianzhi still maintained his soldiers and horses, the number was too small. The Pinglu army poured into the city like a tide, clearing the past street by street, like an autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

These thieves were already tired from marching for days, and tonight they fought all night, and they were all exhausted at this time, and they were rushed by the officers and troops who suddenly appeared, and immediately lost their fighting spirit, and they had no fighting spirit, and they broke up one after another.

Huang Chao was happy for a moment just now, and immediately fell from the peak of joy to the abyss of pain, and until now, he didn't understand how the Pinglu Army could be killed so quickly? What about the auxiliaries in the back? Meng Kai and Wang Jingwu's nephew Wang Yanwen led two 150,000 auxiliary armies. Although the 150,000 auxiliary troops are only young men with sticks, only a small number of people have weapons. I can't say anything more. That's more than 100,000 people. And there were several cities they had taken down along the way. Field battles are not good, but defending the city can always be held for a day or two.

"Dashuai, there are officers and troops at the east, west, and north gates, only the south road is still in hand, so break through from the south gate immediately!" Zhao Zhang immediately suggested. At present, this battle is really a loss to my grandmother's house, and Fei Fei defeated Wang Xianzhi and Wang Jingwu so hard, and he has not yet come to be happy. The fruits of victory have not yet been received, and as a result, the officers and troops came. He now has some doubts about whether the previous chaotic battle was started by the officials and soldiers. But now it's too late to think about this, only to save your life first and pay the most attention.

"Let's go!" Huang Chao was very unwilling in his heart, but he could only choose this way at this time.

Whether it was Wang Jingwu's department, Wang Xianzhi's department, or Huangchao's department, after the official army suddenly arrived, they all immediately stopped attacking each other temporarily. At the moment, there is no point in fighting again, and it is the right thing to flee from Linyi as soon as possible.

The Pinglu army swept through Linyi like a storm. Wang Xianzhi was defeated, and Wang Jingwu was defeated. Huang Chao is defeated!

The officers and troops entered from the east, west and north, but only the south gate remained.

Although people such as Huang Chao, Zhao Zhang and others know that this kind of routine of encircling three queyi often means that there must be ambushes outside the south gate. But now, in the midst of the rout, they have nothing to do about it. The current situation was even more severe than the previous chaotic battle, and those routs learned that there was only the south gate to escape, and what else did they care, and there was no army formation at all, so they could only flee to the south. There is no battalion, no military formation, and no military discipline order, countless people and horses at the small south gate swarm, scrambling to get out, trampling until the dead are countless, and many people even draw their swords directly in order to fight for the out, killing each other.

Song Wei led the Lu army to kill the south gate immediately, but methodically cleaned up the three cities of east, west and north, and sent a cavalry to create panic and chaos in the back. Countless thieves who did not have time to escape were either captured or killed on the spot.

Outside the southern city, with their excellent escape ability, the remaining more than 2,000 cavalry under Wang Xianzhi's department were the first to escape out of the city. More than 2,000 horsemen fled in the wilderness and hurried south.

Wang Xianzhi rode on the horse, his face became more and more pale, he held his abdomen tightly with one hand, the wound there had already dyed the hastily wrapped strip of cloth red, and blood continued to leak out. His head became more and more dizzy, and Wang Xianzhi felt that he was about to die.

In a trance, he suddenly heard countless shouts and killings all around, and the soldiers and horses of the Pinglu army made Xu Cheng lead five thousand ambush soldiers to suddenly kill, and the arrows were fired together, and the dozens of horsemen who were running in front suddenly turned on their backs. Immediately afterwards, Xu Cheng led the crowd to kill, and the 5,000-square-meter Lu army surrounded more than 2,000 Wang Xianzhi's light cavalry and tore them apart.

The two sides fought desperately and bloodily, and the grass thief light cavalry under the command of the generals of the Zhu Ticket Shuai also fought bravely, and finally broke out of the encirclement and broke through after paying the price of nearly half of the casualties.

Xu Chengyi pulled out a feather arrow from his shoulder, his face was extremely gloomy, five thousand around two thousand, but he still let the thief army escape, but he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it when he turned back.

"Clean up the battlefield now and get ready for the next batch of thieves." Xu Chengtie said with a blushing face.

The remaining soldiers and horses immediately cleaned up the battlefield, collected the feathered arrows, recovered the intact weapons and horses, and mended the wounded enemy soldiers who were not dead.

"General, I've caught the thief leader Wang Xianzhi!"

A lieutenant rode over at a gallop and shouted excitedly at Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng couldn't believe it, "Where is it?" ”

"Just ahead, Wang Xianzhi's men and horses were seriously injured and couldn't escape."

I couldn't believe that there was such a good thing, Xu Cheng, who was still gloomy just now, immediately smiled like a flower, and shouted excitedly, "Quick, take me there." ”

When Xu Cheng arrived, Wang Xianzhi had only a trace of breath left, and Xu Cheng glanced at the dying grass thief. He was wearing a set of high-grade red mountain armor, the phoenix wings on his head had been lost, and his hair was scattered. But he still recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was Wang Xianzhi, to know the Dao, Wang Xianzhi is the biggest thief leader today, and even the emperor knows the Dao. The emperor and local governments have already issued the portraits of Wang Xianzhi, Huang Chao, and Wang Jingwu who are wanted and rewarded. Xu Cheng has seen it several times, so he doesn't recognize it at a glance, this person is Wang Xianzhi, not to mention, he also searched for Wang Xianzhi's seal from him.

After confirming his identity repeatedly, Xu Cheng's excited heart beat violently, and he immediately said loudly: "Come on, immediately bring the thief, and report the good news to Song Dashuai with the general!" Transferring five hundred elite soldiers, Xu Cheng took the dead Wang Xianzhi and immediately rushed to Linyi. (To be continued......)
