Chapter 70 Tang Zhilian Po

As the horn of the rebel attack sounded, arrows suddenly attacked the Tang army's camp from all directions. In an instant, the huge sky was covered with dense black dots, and then it fell quickly like a thunderstorm and waterfall.

In just a cup of tea, the Tang army camp was baptized by tens of thousands of feather arrows everywhere, and the sharp sound of arrows hitting the fence and the low sound of flesh and blood shooting.

Liu Renzhan had already listed the defensive battle formations in the camp and ordered the general to take them together, and then formed a thick shield wall to form a high and low layer to form a thick shield wall standing in four key camp gates. Behind them were thousands of spearmen wearing standard armor, and the bright spear tips were stretched out to prepare for the rebels' attack.

But dense feather arrows descended from the sky. Although the shield wall was thick, there were inevitably gaps. How could it be blocked everywhere? In less than a moment, soldiers who could not dodge behind the shield wall fell one by one, and the flying blood instantly dyed the loess behind the bunker into a strange dark red.

Seeing a few rounds of feather arrows coming down, the crossbowman's quiver was half empty, and the Tang army camp in front was already tied up like a hedgehog, and the ground was covered with arrows. Although he could not see clearly what the death and injury behind the Tang army's shield wall was, Li Jinquan still raised his hand impatiently and signaled to stop shooting the arrow.

Ming Hanrong said in surprise: "Master General, why did you stop shooting arrows? The Tang army is already in wings and cannot escape. If you put a few more rounds, they will have no manpower. Wouldn't it be pleasant for us to suppress the army?"

"Don't waste the feather arrows!" Li Jinquan said in a deep voice: "See? The arrow rain in our army is so dense and fierce, but at least half of it is still blocked by the shield wall. A few more rounds are just to consume the energy of the soldiers! This general admires Liu Renzhan, and he knows that he still insists on resisting. Since this is the case, he will give the Tang army a decent way of death! The commander will send all the infantry to the formation, and the cavalry will then break the camp and end the battle before sunset!"

"Abide by the order!"

The deputy general immediately sent an order. After a moment, the crossbowman slowly retreated. The light-armored infantry behind him had quickly pressed up and formed a formation at the forefront of the army. The weapons in his hands were all shining sharply, and they flashed with dazzling light under the scorching sun.

After three sounds, a shocking sound of killing sounds sounded instantly, and the vast rebel soldiers began to scattered towards the Tang army camp like a dark tide.

Most of the people who rushed to the front were the Qinghuai Army who were forced to rebel. All of these soldiers were native Jianghuai children. How could they be willing to meet the Tang army brothers on the opposite side?

But even if he was reluctant, it was a fact that he had rebelled at this time, and there was no way out. Besides, there was Li Jinquan's supervisory team beside him. Whoever dared to trade and then retreated would cut his head directly, and he could only bare the bullet and charge. However, before the Tang army's shield wall, he obviously slowed down and the sword in his hand became increasingly slower.

The right wing of the Guards, which followed closely behind, was Li Jinquan's direct troops, mainly from the northerners. The leading generals seemed to see through the thoughts of the Qinghuai soldiers. So with an order, the soldiers began to push the Qinghuai soldiers violently, and soon wailed, and the flesh and blood bodies of hundreds of Qinghuai soldiers hit the shield wall heavily, and were pierced by the tip of the gun stretched out by the Tang army, most of whom died with their eyes closed.

At this moment, the soldiers of Tang army hidden behind the shield wall witnessed the tragic scene of the rebels blocking themselves, and their hearts were like an ice cellar falling into the air. Soon, the shield wall began to shake violently, and the dense sound of swords and weapons was approaching. With the cry of dozens of shield soldiers, the tall barrier of the Tang army collapsed!

"The shield wall has been broken, kill all the Tang army!"

The rebels were greatly motivated and rushed in from the huge gap, and started a head-on battle with the Tang army!

The rebels were powerful, especially the northerners who had followed Li Jinquan for many years. They were all big and round waists. They were not only good at kung fu, but also good at close combat. The swords in their hands were full of power. For ordinary Tang soldiers, they were hard to resist one-on-one slashing with the rebels.

With just one encounter, dozens of Tang soldiers were killed by the sudden attack of weapons. The situation quickly turned down. Soon the camp was reduced to bloody slaughterhouses everywhere.

Three hundred steps away, Liu Renzhan stood on horseback with the generals, looking at the soldiers in front of him fighting bloody battles. After all, it was the Wuchang army he brought out. Everyone was fearless of death and fulfilled their oath of loyalty to the country with their lives. After several crazy fights, they could not restrain the momentum of the rebels' offensive. They were finally forced to retreat step by step, and a large number of rebel cavalry charged in the distance.

In the critical moment, the generals turned their eyes to the head coach Liu Renzhan. He couldn't help but tremble all over. He raised the sword given by the emperor in his hand, widened his eyes and shouted: "My sons! Follow me to kill the enemy and serve the country!"

Immediately afterwards, the veteran held his breath, and the horse under his crotch seemed to know his master's will. With a long sad neigh, one man and one horse rushed straight towards the rebels!

The commander was not afraid of life and death, and the bravery of the generals burst out instantly. He led the Tang cavalry behind him and quickly entered the enemy formation. Even though everyone knew that they would die, they still rushed forward without hesitation.

The rebel soldiers who were looking for pleasure in the killing were at this time when they saw the Tang cavalry coming, all of them were shining, thinking about making a rash effort to make a fortune, but instead they were harvested by the galloping past cavalry one by one and were caught off guard...

After a while, he saw that although the Tang soldiers were brave, they could not resist the large number of rebels, and they had already suffered heavy casualties. The rebels gradually closed the encirclement. Sun Yu, the deputy envoy of the army, was covered in scars. As soon as he waved his sword to hold a long sword, he spat and shouted: "Master General, the rebels are in great power. You are the pillar of the country, so you must not be buried here! Get on the horse quickly, and you will protect you and fight out..."

"I would rather die than retreat, kill one and make one profit! Kill two and make one pair! Hahaha again!"

Liu Renzhan's old body was already covered in blood. At this time, the long sword in his hand was pulled out from the chest of a rebel general, kicked the man's body away, cursed, and began to laugh. His long beard dyed red swayed in the wind, as if he was crazy.

Sun Yu had no time to stop him, but when he saw Liu Renzhan, who was still strong, rushed straight into the rebel group, he suddenly flew with blood and screamed in pain. Five or six rebel soldiers were killed by the sword.

Li Jinquan, not far away, had already led the cavalry to come, staring blankly at the veteran Liu Renzhan in the siege of more than ten soldiers, and rushed back and forth, calmly and neatly resisted the attacks, then raised his sword with his backhand, killed several soldiers, and then turned around calmly. Except for the scratching of his arms, he still looked safe and sound.

"Is this Liu Renzhan?! It turns out that he is well-known and can be called Lian Po of the Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing Li Jinquan suddenly lose his praise, Ming Hanrong swallowed his saliva with embarrassment. Fortunately, he is now in the hands of the advantage. Otherwise, as the commander of the first army, he would have spoken loudly about such words to strengthen the enemy's morale when facing the enemy. Wouldn't that be extremely stupid?

The rebel cavalry from all directions began to rush into the camp like wind and clouds. The physically and mentally exhausted Tang soldiers were gradually divided and surrounded and annihilated. As time went by, Liu Renzhan, Sun Yu and others led the last thousands of soldiers to fight to the death, but their formation was once again compressed to a narrow area.

The setting sun was vague, the sky gradually darkened, and the fierce fighting in the camp continued, which made the scene of flesh-and-blooded confrontation even more cold and gloomy. Three short horn sounds began to sound from the rebel formation. The commander Li Jinquan was dissatisfied with the soldiers' delay and was ordering to resolve the remaining enemies as soon as possible. This unsurprising war seemed to be about to end soon.

Hearing the sound of the horns, even the supervisory team began to fight. The rebel soldiers strengthened their offensives, and many cavalrymen also turned over and dismounted, drew their swords and rushed fiercely towards the remaining Tang army. From the afternoon to this, both sides were exhausted, but one side had the will of victory and the other was determined to die. The shouts of the soldiers on both sides were still high, and their momentum increased.

Not long after, with a dull hum, Liu Renzhan saw a sharp sword piercing through Sun Yu's chest with his own eyes. Then he fell to the ground without knowing his life or death. He also suffered more than ten minor injuries. If it weren't for the heavy armor protection, it would have been difficult to hold on until now.

"Okay! Twenty thousand good guys, no one retreated until death! We are worthy of Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty!"

Liu Ren sighed at the sky, and burst into tears. The Tang soldiers who were protecting the commander-in-chief were silent, and they still gritted their teeth and insisted on resisting the enemy troops who were becoming more and more brave. Everyone knew in their hearts that the last moment had arrived.

Seeing that the sun was already dark, Li Jinquan decided to go on the battlefield in person to annihilate the remnants of the Tang army as quickly as possible. Just as he was about to charge forward, he suddenly saw Ming Hanrong beside him open his mouth wide, hurriedly pointing to the south, and exclaimed: "Master, look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whistling wind seemed to be filled with a faint roar and began to reach everyone's ears. Li Jinquan looked out from a distance for a while, and his face gradually turned pale.

At this time, the Tang army soldiers lowered their heads and saw the ground under their feet shaking unnaturally, and they also turned their heads to look south when they heard the sound.

Accompanied by the hazy sunset like blood, under the sky, countless cavalry figures were vaguely seen sweeping over quickly. The dozens of flying striped banners leading the way were the most eye-catching, and the large brush was written with words that everyone was familiar with - "Tang"!

Then, the cheers burst out suddenly among the Tang army soldiers!

"This is Jian'er?! Jian'er's reinforcements have arrived?" Liu Renzhan said in a trembling voice.
