Chapter 526: Hunting in the Wild (2)

Wang Xianzhi did not make up his mind for a long time, and he wanted to step forward to meet the official cavalry. At this moment's hesitation, Zhuge Shuang had already led three thousand cavalry to gallop over, and quickly rushed past their flanks.

The officers and soldiers did not take the initiative to fight them, they rushed in front of Wang Xianzhi's 5,000 cavalry, and cut directly into the 15,000 auxiliary army phalanx behind the cavalry.

Before Wang Xianzhi and the others could react, the auxiliary phalanx behind the cavalry on the right wing of the grass army had been flattened by the iron hooves of the light cavalry led by Zhuge Shuang. In front of the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Tang Army, those right-wing auxiliaries who had just been recruited from among the homeless people, who only held a sharpened wooden stick in their hands, and did not even have a command officer rank, immediately scattered and fled in panic and fear as soon as they were impacted.

Tang rode in pursuit, ignoring the fleeing auxiliaries, but charged straight forward. Zhuge Shuang's flag fluttered high in front, and the three thousand cavalry rolled forward, like a hurricane. The three Zhu Wen brothers followed closely behind the banner of Mu Anguo, the commander of the forward battalion of their own department, holding a riding spear, and galloping on their horses with their bodies low. The grass thieves in front of them were almost overwhelmed. Zhu Wen also fought with the grass thieves a few times when he was in Yucheng, although the grass thieves were poorly equipped, but some of them were quite tenacious in fighting, but today, the grass thieves in front of them were completely different from an army, and they had no fighting spirit.

In particular, the cavalry group of up to 5,000 men on the right flank actually watched them rush past and cut into the auxiliary formation behind, without coming to intercept or pursue them.

Tang Qi was inexplicably surprised, this group of grass thieves had lost their hearts!

Thinking that they would be able to directly enter the Chinese army and capture the flag and return, the entire Tang cavalry team burst out with huge combat effectiveness.

"Datang! Datang! Datang! ”

"Datang! Datang! Datang! ”

Loud shouts and roars came and went. Keep connecting!

Three thousand Tang horses went on a rampage. It's like being in a no-man's land. The blocker is clothed. They rushed forward, and the auxiliaries in front of them were defeated like a landslide.

The 15,000 auxiliaries had neither a fighting voice nor any equipment, and not long ago they were just a group of hungry people who could not eat enough, and each one of them was weak in strength. The recruits of the thirty auxiliary battalions couldn't stop Tang Qi's unstoppable cut, and they were not willing to use the crisp flesh and blood drive to stop the overwhelming rows of thousands of horses.

The cavalry of the Tang Army laughed wildly. After the spear was stabbed, some of them didn't bother to take it back, and directly drew their knives and slashed wildly, and the arrows of their arrow-shaped charging formation had already penetrated deeply through the right flank and cut into the middle army of the grass army.

However, Zhuge Shuang encountered a fierce counterattack in the Chinese army, and after the attack was blocked, Zhuge Shuang also tried out. In the middle army of the grass thieves, a large number of soldiers and horses of the old battalion of grass thieves were arranged, and these soldiers were many times stronger than the previous right wing.

The cavalry's offensive was gradually contained, and Zhu Wen slashed left and right with his sword. After cutting down several grass thieves who were approaching with spears, he galloped to the side of his boss Mu Anguo. He said loudly: "General, the Chinese army has been blocked, and the cavalry momentum has been contained. ”

Mu Anguo gasped and said angrily: "Of course Lao Tzu knows this, and I still need you to say it!" ”

"General, the Chinese army can't kill it, so we can turn around and kill the rear army. The grass thief rear army is all auxiliary soldiers, and they can make meritorious contributions! Zhu Wen put forward his opinion.

Mu Anguo was a little undecided, their current position was at the combination of the middle army, the rear army, and the right wing. The right flank was not defeated just now, they just cut in, and now there are still five thousand grass thief cavalry on the right flank, and countless scattered auxiliaries. The attack on the Chinese army was blocked, and if the right flank closed the retreat, their 3,000 people could be surrounded and swallowed by grass thieves.

"Why don't you go back the way you came and kill the rear army?" Mu Anguo asked.

"Returning at this time is a failure of the division. Moreover, although the cavalry on the right flank did not intercept us just now, maybe it was just that they did not react in time. But now that we return, the cavalry on the right flank may intercept us. At that time, the middle lane thieves bit up, and we rested. It is better to point directly at the rear army, the rear army is the enemy's auxiliaries, as long as it can be killed in the rear army, there is a chance to cause chaos in the enemy army. Zhu Wen said his thoughts.

Mu Anguo thought about it, and quickly sent a herald to find Zhuge Shuang, and told Zhuge Shuang about this plan.

The cavalry forward, the momentum of the Tang cavalry had to stop under the resistance of the gun array and shield array of the Huangchao Chinese army and the rain of arrows. Originally, the thief army would put the main force in the front army, and the right wing from the side could catch the thief army off guard, but I didn't expect this yellow nest to be so well guarded. Although the right flank successfully broke through, the Chinese army had already taken precautions.

Hearing the proposal conveyed by Mu Anguo's heralds, he only thought about it for a moment and agreed to this plan.

The order to turn around and kill the rear army quickly came out, and the Xuanwu Army, which was originally in the rear of the cavalry, immediately became the vanguard. The Forward Battalion and the Second Wandering Battalion immediately turned around, acting as arrows, and immediately turned around and immediately killed the rear army.

The three Zhu Wen brothers held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, acting as arrows and quickly rushing towards the back of the grass army. The U-turn Tang Qi re-accelerated, and the momentum was like a red-hot iron chisel cutting directly into the frozen butter. Under their charge, the grass army auxiliaries of the rear army fell one after another, just like the wheat waves in autumn being harvested by farmers.

A herald rode to the right flank.

"Report to the capital, Huang Deputy commander has an urgent military order, and order the right wing of the capital command to quickly send troops to kill the three thousand cavalry who rushed into the rear, this order, 100,000 urgent!"

Wang Xianzhi was still silent, and the faces of Shang Junchang and the others were not very good-looking.

"Why didn't Huang Chao transfer his Chinese army to strangle Tang Qi." Someone said dissatisfied.

Before they could make a decision, the Tang army on the battlefield suddenly beat loud drums, and a passionate roar sounded, and then in front of their right flank, a faint black line suddenly appeared, accompanied by a low and dull thunder faintly like the horizon.

Wang Xianzhi and the others changed color one after another, and they could hear that it was the sound of a large number of horses' hooves. The shadow was getting clearer and clearer, bigger and bigger, rapidly expanding, and it was already clear to see. This is a newly transferred army, numbering in the tens of thousands.

At the forefront were cavalrymen galloping at high speed, numbering more than three thousand.

Behind the cavalry, countless black crows of infantry were running.

For a while, Wang Xianzhi and his subordinate generals were in turmoil. It is very obvious that the coach of the Tang Army has a very sharp and ruthless vision. The previous cavalry unexpectedly broke through the right flank and cut into the Chinese army, and the commander of the Tang army had already made the right flank a breakthrough point.

The front army of the grass thieves was surrounded by the Tang Army's Glaive Array and entangled with the Tang Army's front army. At present, the Tang army has transferred most of its soldiers and horses to the left flank to attack their right flank, and the grass thieves can't react at all. What's more critical is that Wang Xianzhi is now hesitant, he is worried about the defeat of the grass army after the Tang army breaks through the right flank. But in the same way, he was more worried that after he led his army to rush up, his last few soldiers and horses would be wiped out.

"General, look, it's the banner of the Zhenguo Army! It's Li Jing, Li Jing took the Zhenguo Army to kill! One of the ponies shouted pale and panicked.

Wang Xianzhi became angry namelessly, and wanted to draw a knife and directly slaughter this shouting guy. The Zhenguo army had obviously just left Songzhou and gone to Yanzhou, how could they suddenly appear in front of them.

But when he looked up, he himself was stunned. The cavalry of the Tang Army, which was galloping forward, waved in front of them like a red burning cloud, which was the banner of the Zhenguo Army.

In the midst of that storm, this cavalry was well-armed and brightly flagped, and thousands of them came in a dense queue. The war horse galloped forward like a storm.

"It can't be!" Wang Xianzhi's pale face was full of disbelief. He roared frantically: "Li Jing has already gone to Yanzhou, how could they appear from behind us!" ”

No one could answer this question, and the generals and generals under Wang Xianzhi were all panicked. The defeat in Songzhou not long ago made them feel terrified when they saw the banner of the Zhenguo Army and heard the name of the Zhenguo Army.

The sound of the horses' hooves of the Zhenguo army was getting closer and closer, deafening, and rushed straight in.

"Withdraw!"

Wang Xianzhi, who gritted his teeth, finally gave an order. However, his order was not to intercept, but to flee. If it was other soldiers and horses, maybe he might intercept it, but when it was the Zhenguo Army that appeared, Wang Xianzhi had already felt boundless fear and powerlessness in his heart, and he didn't even have the courage to fight a battle.

Wang Xianzhi led his troops to turn around and run, but the Zhenguo army behind was more powerful and faster. Soon the striker caught up with Wang Xianzhi's rear team. The two armies were short of arms, slashing and killing each other, and the two cavalry were huddled together to slash and kill each other, and the wind was galloping, and countless swords shone brightly, like lightning flashing. The fierce blades of the Tang army slashed at the armor of those Wang Xianzhi cavalry who fled for their lives, and cut at their war horses.

In this cavalry contest, the momentum of the cavalry on the right flank was completely suppressed by the Tang cavalry, and under the terrible impact of the Tang cavalry, the cavalry in the back row of Wang Xianzhi's department had no power to fight back, and one after another fell to the ground, drowning under countless horses' hooves, and the sound of screams was also covered by the sound of horses' hooves.

Encountering the impact of Tang Cai, Wang Xianzhi on the right wing did not dare to fight, and fled in the wilderness, and the battle formation on the right wing of the grass army was distorted, deformed, and finally broken.

The cavalry on the right flank fled, and the auxiliaries on the right flank had not yet recovered from the initial wave of cavalry impact, and then encountered this second round of cavalry impact, and broke up again, and then they immediately ushered in the phalanx charge of most of the infantry of the Tang Army, and it became a complete rout.

The follow-up infantry of the Tang army lined up in a phalanx and fought all the way, and the soldiers in iron armor rolled forward, spears and stabs, swords and shields jumped, and bows and arrows were fired. Some of the grass thief auxiliaries were stabbed down, but they were not stabbed to death, but only lay on the ground and let out heart-rending screams. Before they could shout a few times, the Tang Army auxiliaries wearing cloth clothes had already rushed up excitedly, and when they saw the grass thief on the ground, whether they were dead or alive, they directly raised their knives and cut off their heads, and excitedly put them in the straw bags in their hands. They were silent, just like the farmer after the autumn harvest, happily picking up the ears of wheat in the field.

The soldiers were overwhelmed, but what was left on the battlefield was swept away. The head of the grass thief, the wounded captive, the armor, the weapons, the broken weapons, and even the clothes, money, and dry food on the corpse of the grass thief were all swept away. (To be continued......)
