Chapter 436: Accomplish all the achievements in one battle (3)
Haotian slowly stepped onto the watchtower standing in the middle of the army, looked at the Bliss army, and suddenly asked strangely: "Why are there so many people dressed as scribes in the Bliss Holy Sect? Didn't the Bliss Sect always despise literati?
Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
After asking twice, Haotian found that no one answered him, and then he remembered that he was the only one standing on the watchtower, but Qiu Mu said to Xian Lianchen below: "Tell me, my husband has gone crazy, why?"
A person talking to himself?"
Indeed, the Holy Sect of Paradise has always despised scholars. For example, around Cheng Xianqing, except for Bing Heng, Feng Mogu, Xianpin and others who followed him from the beginning, almost no one was a serious scholar who was later recruited. However, there are indeed many more scholars around Cheng Xianqing now.
Well-dressed man, what on earth is going on?
Haotian slid down from the watchtower and hurried towards the Chinese army camp, where Luo Xiang and Xuanji were supposed to be playing chess. However, when they arrived at the camp, they didn't see the two of them at all. Instead, Qiu Mu opened his mouth to ask
Said: "Husband, what are you doing?"
"Consider and sir? We were still playing chess just now." Haotian said doubtfully.
Xian Lianchen said with a smile: "I said some people are idiots, but Xin Jiao still doesn't believe it. Look, if you had asked earlier, you wouldn't have gone through the wrong path, right?"
Xin Jiao rolled her eyes at Xian Lianchen, and Haotian quickly asked, "Hey, Lianchen, sir, do you know where they went?"
"Watch the battle between our army and the Holy Sect of Paradise in front of the formation. Just now when someone was having a nervous breakdown on the watchtower, they had just passed by." Xian Lianchen said with disdain.
"Oh." Haotian smiled coyly and walked towards the front line again.
Xue Sha and others had obviously returned to their cavalry, and only Luo Xiang and Xuanji were standing there doing nothing. Why did the two of them have so much to say? Haotian didn't understand this. There was an age difference between Luo Xiang and Xuanji.
Half of the time, the old man and the young man were particularly close to each other. But now was obviously not the time to ask this question, so Haotian quickly stepped forward and described to the two of them what he had just seen.
"Scholar? Cheng Xianqing has always been biased against scholars, so he probably won't take the initiative to recruit them." Luo Xiang just shook his head and said after hearing this.
Xuanji shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Cheng Xianqing is wise. This time the Holy Sect of Paradise suffered heavy losses and gained a bad reputation. Cheng Xianqing recruited these scholars probably to help promote the Holy Sect of Paradise's virtues.
Similar nonsense. But with Cheng Xianqing's virtue, they probably didn't actively recruit them, but put a long knife on others' necks and invited them one by one."
"Every time dogs are slaughtered for justice, most of the unfaithful people are scholars. Isn't that the case?" Luo Xiang said casually. In front, Dugu had already evacuated the formation when Zhu Yaping led the remaining five or six thousand people to return.
A wide enough passage was left for the cavalry behind. The Loop's thunderous strike was about to be launched.
"What should we do with these people?" Xuanji was worried about this. When he saw Luo Xiang's calm expression, Xuanji knew what Luo Xiang was thinking.
"Kill!" Luo Xiang said without hesitation.
Although it was his own reasonable answer, Xuanji still couldn't bear it: "Sir, most of them must have been forced to do anything, or the Holy Sect of Paradise took their families and forced them. Can we
Classify it?"
Luo Xiang smiled and said: "Military advisors are always so soft-hearted. If it is really because his family was caught and threatened, then whoever has his family in the hands can blackmail them in the future. Don't these people always like to say that they will kill themselves to achieve justice? Wait until
When it was time for them to kill, where did they go? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Until the Holy Sect of Paradise evacuated from Tiandu Holy Capital, there were still countless people in the city fighting side by side with the soldiers of the Imperial Guard. These articles
Don’t people always claim that they are superior to others and that they are the elite of the country and the pillars of the country? Now it’s time for them to embody the pillars of their country, but what have they done? Kill, must kill! Besides, this is just them surrendering to the enemy. Therefore,
We can only kill them individually, which can be considered magnanimous."
Haotian frowned, but finally focused his attention on the battlefield. With the wave of Dugu's flag, hundreds of thousands of cavalry launched an attack from a front four miles wide. For a moment, the light of the sword flashed,
The horse is like a swimming dragon.
"Kill!" Xue Sha Yihu took the lead and rushed out with his butcher knife held high. Feng Jingxue Qingcheng and others were not to be far behind. With almost a wave of Dugu's command flag, their horses had already rushed out of the infantry.
defensive formation.
Although the troops were not divided, the number of Hetao cavalry was too large, so they were still divided into three attack arrows, with Xuesha Fengjing and Xue Qingcheng at the top.
At this time, Zhu Yaping's defeated army had not completely retreated to the Holy Sect camp, and Ke Danzhong's infantry was preparing to attack. Seeing this overwhelming momentum, Ke Danzhong's 50,000 soldiers were trembling with fear. They were mainly composed of Tiandu Shengjing.
They are composed of hooligans and a small number of soldiers from the Yuzhou Legion. If it is to bully the city, burn, kill and rob, they are all good hands, but when it comes to decisive battles on the battlefield, unless they are trained for two years. In Dugu's words,
It's just that these people are just a group of villains who bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as you give them three points of color, they will be more obedient than dogs. It is completely idiotic to rely on such an army to compete with the elite cavalry of Hetao who have experienced hundreds of battles.
talk.
The Hetao cavalry were all veterans of battlefield duels. Their horses kept speeding up. When they were about to reach the camp of the Paradise Army, everyone had already adjusted their speed to the best condition. After shooting three arrows, the cavalry had already
With the long bow stuck on his back, the lancer's upper body lay flat, and the spear in his hand was raised parallel to the horse's back. The cavalry behind him holding a machete raised the knife with both hands to eyebrow height, pedaling hard on the stirrups with both feet, and his body
Leaning slightly forward when ready to attack, this is also the most conducive posture for cavalry to kill.
"Ke Danzhong, your troops must block this round of attacks from the opponent! Qin Mang! Our troops must not retreat even half a step, otherwise military law will be imposed! No matter who is in front, as long as they dare to approach your line, they will be killed!" Zhu Zhao has a very unpleasant feeling.
With a good premonition, he almost shouted with a livid face.
After saying this, he still felt that it was not enough, so he shouted: "Zhu Yaping! Supervise the battle team, pull out the battle team and stand behind Qin Mang's headquarters. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"
Qin Mang was shocked, anyone? He naturally understood that he also belonged to this category among everyone, but it was completely courting death to fight with Zhu Zhao now. Moreover, he also understood that if he had been in battle for a long time, if he was here
As soon as they retreated, such a huge group of skirmishers, driven by the Hetao cavalry, could completely overwhelm the Bliss Holy Cult's own defense line. They were all people who licked blood with their swords, so Qin Mang also took the risk. Besides, he was being attacked by others.
While supervising the battle, he was also supervising the battle of Ke Danzhong's troops in front.
Ke Danzhong's high-pitched voice has already sounded in front of the formation: "Array! The spearmen are ready! No one is allowed to retreat, otherwise military law will be enforced!"
Ke Danzhong was already beating drums in his heart. No one could tell whether these newly formed recruits, who were originally rogues, had any respect for military law.
But Ke Danzhong knew it right away. Before the Hetao cavalry arrived in front of the Ji Le soldiers' formation, there were already people in front of them secretly retreating. As soon as the opponent rushed into the formation, his men had already turned around and fled in a swarm. Some people actually put their weapons in their hands.
The weapons were all thrown away. Fortunately, Hetao used cavalry to charge, otherwise countless Ji Le soldiers would have fallen to the ground and pretended to be dead.
"Don't retreat!" Ke Danzhong was furious and shouted at the top of his lungs.
But the soldiers ignored their commander at all. Although there were many veterans of the Holy Sect among the 50,000 soldiers, there were too many new soldiers. When countless new soldiers fled together, the thousands of veterans mixed with them could not stabilize themselves at all.
Formation. Under such circumstances, those who run slowly and those who resist resolutely will naturally be hit by the knife. And those who run fast are not lucky. They often bump into the front of Qin Mang's army behind them and are temporarily used as a supervising team.
Qin Mang killed him on the spot.
"Those who retreat will die!" Ke Danzhong yelled again. Now, the soldiers under his command finally understood a little bit, knowing that their commander was definitely not joking. Escape is death, and fighting is death. If you fight,
Maybe if you are lucky, you can get someone to support you. These people were originally gangsters, and they are best at fighting bravely. Now they are forced to panic, and they seem to be desperate. After they fight to the death,
Next, it really blocked the attack of the Hetao cavalry.
Ke Danzhong wiped the sweat from his face and finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he failed to hold on this round and caused the army to move impulsively, he would definitely be punished by the furious Zhu Zhao. In that case, he would have been undercover all these years.
All the hard work was in vain.
Zhu Zhao's expression was also very ugly. He had no idea that the 50,000 soldiers under Ke Danzhong were such useless people. Although he had some expectations before, the situation was still worse than he expected.
"Mingshuai, why hasn't Mingshuai come yet?" Zhu Zhaotie shouted with a livid face.
"Brother, are you looking for me?" At this moment, Minghui walked over in a hurry. He was originally in charge of the right-wing position, and it took him some time to get there.
Zhu Zhao ignored the pleasantries now and said straight to the point: "Second brother, the situation is not good now. The combat effectiveness of the Hetao cavalry is amazing. Ke Danzhong's 50,000 soldiers were almost scattered by a single charge from the Hetao, but it seems they can't hold on like this for long.
The opponent's infantry has not yet pressed forward. If they attack from all fronts, it will be difficult for us to block the opponent's full blow."
Although Minghui had known that this would be the result. He had fought against the infantry and cavalry of Hetao for a period of time in Hongzhou. At that time, he relied on the terrain to retreat step by step, trading time for space, and then he barely blocked the combined force of the Hetao army.
Strangulation. But at that time, his subordinates were all veterans of the Minghui Legion, with extremely rich combat experience. But even so, he still paid a price of more than 20,000 people. Now, he wants to use these new soldiers to block the attack of the veterans of Hetao.
, which is completely wishful thinking.
Of course, he couldn't say this, otherwise it would hurt Zhu Zhao's face too much. After a moment of hesitation, he said: "Brother, we must retreat. We must retreat! Our army has just been replenished, and there is no need among the soldiers.
Without a tacit understanding, it is difficult to exert the combat effectiveness of superimposed troops. There are too many recruits and there is no good military discipline. They are basically infantry and are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of arms. Especially this kind of decisive battle on the frontal battlefield is originally the specialty of the regular army in Hetao. We use
To strike short and strike long is something that the wise will not do."
Zhu Zhao also understood that he had acted too hastily. The continuous victories during this period gave him a somewhat arrogant atmosphere. But he had forgotten that since the days when he went south along the Yangtze River, the victory achieved by the Holy Sect of Paradise was basically the same.
They are all based on attacking the unprepared and relying on the strong to bully the weak. When it comes to confrontation on the frontal battlefield, just the battles in Qinchuan and the Li family made me suffer a lot. The Hetao army stretches across the world, and its combat effectiveness is still there.
Above the soldiers of Qinchuan, and with the gathering of generals and talents, his side did not have the capital to confront the opponent head-on. However, this series of victories completely overwhelmed the head of the Holy Sect of Bliss. Even Zhu Zhao himself thought that as long as he defeated
If the Hetao elites were strong, then the Southeast region could just let themselves go sideways without considering the disadvantages of their own army. Minghui thought about it, but Cheng Xianqing was already prejudiced against him and would not listen to his opinions at all.
Zhu Zhao finally understood now that he had completely ignored the shortcomings of his soldiers - the army's combat effectiveness and fighting will were too poor! If it was a strong attack on a weak one, his side would be as good as a wolf or a tiger. However,
If the situation goes slightly wrong like this, their will to fight will be shaken, and they will eventually get out of control.
"Retreat? But can we outrun the cavalry in Hetao?" Zhu Zhao said worriedly: "Don't forget, there are so many trucks of food and grass supplies in our army."
Minghui frowned. Although the Holy Sect of Paradise did not capture the imperial city, the amount of wealth plundered from the outer city and the inner city was astonishing, and now it is all loaded in the carriage at the back. Raozhou is considered a part of the Jianghuai Plain, and here
Although there is rice cultivation, half of it is mainly wheat in dry land. It would be easy for the army to retreat, just run along the fields next to it. But these carriages can't do it, they can't pass through the fields smoothly at all.
. From the foot of Hongzhou City to Yizhou Xiaodu Ferry, it was because the Holy Sect of Paradise abandoned all the food and baggage, and was able to run so fast. But now, if you want to leave so much property behind, don't say that Cheng Xianqing disagrees
, even Zhu Zhao and Minghui couldn't make up their minds.
However, Zhu Zhao was a decisive gecko after all. After a moment of silence, he said with a gloomy face: "Wait a minute and see if Qin Mang's front line can contain the charge of the Hetao cavalry. If it can be firmly held,
If they are blocked, you and Yan Wuyan will cover them from both sides and wrap them up in a pocket formation. If they can't be blocked, prepare to retreat immediately. Brother, your legion will be ready to retreat immediately."
Ke Danzhong collapsed as Zhu Zhao expected. A long time ago, Zhu Zhao understood one thing, cruelty and fear of death are two different things. But now, he understands that gangsters and warriors are also two different things. These were originally in Tiandu Saint
The hooligans who hang out in Beijing can be regarded as scoundrels who will fight with knives as soon as their eyes turn red, but on the battlefield, they are out-and-out cowards.
At the beginning, they were afraid of the military law, and they were able to turn around and fight the Hetao cavalry. However, in the face of the iron discipline and fierce fighting power of the Hetao, their desperate way of fighting to the death quickly collapsed under the fierce offensive of the Hetao cavalry. Don't say that
A mob like them, even the most elite infantry of the Holy Sect and personally commanded by Minghui or Hirang, would be extremely difficult to stop the bloody Hetao elite cavalry led by Fengjing personally in this vast wilderness.
difficulty.
After these soldiers slashed for a while with their knives, the initial aggressive and aggressive spirit had passed. Then they looked at their brothers who had been drinking and making trouble with them yesterday, but now they were lying at their feet in a bloody state.
Suddenly, his liver and gallbladder burst into tears. These people had just joined the army. How could they have any military discipline? As soon as they saw something was wrong, they all started to turn around and run away. However, Qin Mang behind them disagreed. With a raised arm, the soldiers below drew their bows.
Shooting arrows, two to three hundred deserters were killed in an instant. As a result, the soldiers in front were also angered. They were fighting desperately in front, but these people not only did not go up to help, but also shot their own people. These people had no ability in the first place.
I have no idea of the overall situation, and I am not loyal to the Holy Sect at all. I just feel that I can get along better by following the Holy Sect, so I resolutely joined the rebels. However, before I got the benefits, the other party started to follow behind.
The act of stabbing the bridge with a knife and starting to demolish it before the bridge was even completed naturally aroused great indignation among these tens of thousands of soldiers. So one by one they simply picked up their knives and slashed at Qin Mang's law enforcement team behind the Hetao.
Before the cavalry could rush in, they themselves opened up randomly.
