Five hundred and thirteenth chapter life prisoner Dong Shu
Dong Shucai didn't have time to think about what the scout centurion would think. He now had to think about how to escape safely. Seeing that there were more than 400 cavalry around him, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He must have relied on these people.
, if you can't defeat the enemy, there should be no problem in escaping.
The task given by Tang Ao to Feng Xun and Feng Wanli was to wipe out as many as possible the five hundred cavalry. Although no strict order was issued, since this was His Highness's wish, they certainly wanted to meet this request so that they could prove that they were
Those who have the ability are not.
In order to better complete this task, Feng Xun and Feng Wanli divided their two thousand cavalry into groups of one hundred, so there were twenty teams in the east and west respectively. They were asked to pursue the enemy nearby once they discovered that the enemy had broken through.
No need to ask for instructions.
Strictly speaking, this flexible combat method was different from the war strategy at that time.
In ancient times, generals always liked to use their troops together so that they could better demonstrate their powerful momentum. They could even win without a fight, or at least severely damage the opponent's morale. But under Tang Ao's guidance, Feng Xun and the others
What we are pursuing is how to severely damage the enemy. In Tang Ao's words, the result of war is to destroy the opponent to the greatest extent and save ourselves. Even so, why can't we divide our troops?
On the surface, although the division of troops will prevent the concentration of military power and the formation of sufficient momentum, when the troops are divided, it can make the opponent tired of dealing with it, and it is easy to cause command errors. And when the troops are divided, victory can be carried out in multiple ways.
Achieve the purpose of encircling and annihilating the opponent. If you lose, you can better preserve your own strength and avoid defeating the whole territory. Why not?
This is just like when weapons were first developed in later generations. In order to promote the concentrated strike capability of firearms, people often formed a formation to launch a charge. This seemed to be able to concentrate firepower. But when cannons appeared, such dense formations could not be used.
They are most likely to be seriously injured, which is why the skirmisher formation was the same later.
With Tang Ao's guidance, the cavalry had already become accustomed to dividing their troops. When there were twenty teams on the Western Front, each with a hundred men, the fate of Dong Shu and others was doomed. They would not be able to escape at all.
of.
As for Dong Shu, how did he know this? He thought about things very simply. Once he encountered a large number of enemies, he would leave a force behind to contain the opponents, thus creating favorable conditions for his escape.
It was only after meeting twenty cavalry teams from Feng Wanli with this thought in mind that he realized how wrong he was.
There were people everywhere, and enemy cavalry appeared everywhere, forming a large and airtight net, giving people a sense of nowhere to go. Although Dong Shu also divided his troops and sent people to block an army.
However, when the fourth hundred-man cavalry team came in front of him, he sadly discovered that the number of cavalry following him was less than a hundred, and he could no longer send anyone to contain the opponent.
Unable to escape, he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Dong Shu was also unlucky. Among the hundred-man cavalry team, Ao Liu was among them.
Before, Ao Wu severely injured the King of Hell, but Ao Liu didn't get the big credit, so he was still a little unhappy about it. Now that it's better, the fat sheep has come to his door, so there's no reason why he shouldn't accept it. After seeing Dong Shu's whole body
When the general's armor was on him, he set it as a target, laughed and galloped towards him.
"Hmph! Let's see what the move is." Seeing someone coming towards him, Dong Shu was not afraid, but raised the long sword in his hand and faced him. After all, he was also a commander of two thousand soldiers in the loyal king's army, and he also had some abilities.
, one-on-one, he is really not afraid of anyone.
Besides, in the chaos of the army, how could he be so unlucky that anyone he met would be better than him? Besides, Aoliu didn't look like much, so he mentally looked down on his opponents.
And all of this changed after the collision with the bright silver gun in Ao Liu's hand. Under the collision, huge power was transmitted from the blade to his arm, causing Dong Shu to almost lose the weapon. At the same time,
There were waves of pain and numbness at the tiger's mouth, and he sadly discovered that his luck was really bad.
"Escape!" Even though he couldn't be beaten, Dong Shu was decisive enough, turned around and rode his horse and ran away, leaving a few soldiers standing in front of Ao Liu.
"Get away!" Seeing that the fat sheep was about to flee, Ao Liu was unwilling to obey, so he thought about chasing the horse. However, several soldiers loyal to Dong Shu stood in front of him, delaying his time.
Finally escaping from Ao Liu's hands, before Dong Shu could take a breath, another hundred-man cavalry team came towards him. They had already discovered him and were surrounding him.
"It's not over yet." Seeing another team blocking the way, Dong Shu kept cursing in his heart. He didn't even know who the team these people were. He thought they were discovered by Xing Si.
What about the reinforcements he invited? After all, given Xingsi's influence in the green forests of Jizhou, if he took the initiative to ask for help, many people would still give him face.
Dong Shu, who didn't know it, faced the hundred-man cavalry that he encountered again. When he turned around and looked, he was shocked. There were only five cavalry behind him. How could he fight?
"That's all, if you shrink your head or raise your head, it's just a knife." Dong Shu never thought about being captured without hesitation. How could he surrender to the bandits as he was also an officer? Besides, it's not possible for everyone to be Aoliu. As long as he showed
If you have enough strength, you may not be able to fight your way out. When you escape, you must give Xing Si a good look when you turn around.
Having made up his mind, Dong Shu came on horseback. Although he only brought five men with him, he still shouted the word "kill" loudly, which was quite impressive.
"Oh, he is still a general, hehehe, stop them." Zhou Qian, the cavalry captain who led the team, chuckled. He had made great contributions in protecting Marquis Zhongcheng in the battle. He left it to Tang Ao.
He was deeply impressed, and was promoted and reused after returning to Daliang City. This time, he was transferred from the security team to Feng Wanli's side in order to strengthen the strength of this army. When he first came here, he was thinking about Zhou Qian who had made meritorious service.
His luck was really good. He met an enemy general. How could he let it go?
Dong Shu didn't know that he was unlucky enough to meet a general under Ji Wang Tang Ao, and he still dreamed of being able to break out with his own bravery. In fact, he also lived up to his status as a captain of two thousand men.
When he rushed towards him, several cavalrymen blocking his path were blocked by him one by one.
Dong Shu doesn't want to kill people now, and he doesn't have time to fight with people. What he wants now is how to escape from here quickly. So every time he encounters someone blocking the way, he will use his skillful sword skills to kill them.
He pushed aside until he met Zhou Qian.
Dong Shu's martial prowess was certainly not comparable to that of ordinary cavalry, and Zhou Qian also saw this. However, he boasted that his opponent's strength was only a little stronger than that of ordinary cavalry, and was still a little worse than his own. With this
Feeling confident, he blocked Dong Shu's path.
"Go away!" With a loud shout, Dong Shu wanted to take the lead and scare Zhou Qian.
Facing this angry shout, Zhou Qian handed the bright silver gun forward without any haste.
when!
When the weapons collided, a huge force was generated. Dong Shu, who did not hold back, knocked Zhou Qian's spear aside with just one blow. This made him feel determined, and then he rode on his horse to take advantage of Zhou Qian's spear.
Rush past.
Who would have thought that when he was charging forward, he suddenly felt a huge pain in his back. It turned out that Zhou Qian's fight with him was just an illusion. He didn't use much strength at all. His real killer move was a time strike that staggered with the opponent.
To the opponent's back.
Dong Shu, who was completely unprepared, just felt a pain in his back, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth involuntarily. Then he stumbled, causing him to fall off his horse.
Fortunately, he only fell, not fell. Without his horse, Dong Shu was still capable of fighting. Standing on the ground, holding the long knife tightly in both hands, he was looking at Zhou Qian angrily, and he wanted to eat one piece.
human appearance.
"It's just a defeated general." Zhou Qian didn't even look at him. He just waved to his cavalry and said, "Come on, capture him."
As soon as he finished speaking, several horse-roping ropes were tied to Dong Shu's body or hands and feet. During this period, they followed the five hundred barbarian soldiers and female riders, but they learned a lot about the barbarian's tricks of roping wild horses. Now there is no war horse.
Dong Shu lost his speed advantage, and in the eyes of these cavalrymen, he was like meat on a chopping block, eager to take advantage of him.
The long knife in his hand was slashed out continuously, and he forcibly split several horse ropes, but it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, especially after all the five cavalry he brought with him were taken down, and Dong Shu was fighting alone.
There were more and more cavalry, and finally when he was tired of resisting and showed his weakness, a horse rope was tied around his long sword, and with the speed of the horse, Dong Shu was pulled hard, and Dong Shu became an unarmed man.
Without the weapon, Dong Shu's expression changed drastically. Before he could do anything, some roping ropes were wrapped around him again. This time, he was finally unable to resist, and was lassoed, and then his whole body
He fell to the ground with a thud and was dragged dozens of steps by the horse before he stopped.
At this moment, Dong Shu's general's armor was already in tatters, and he looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.
"Tie him up." Zhou Qian ordered, and Dong Shu became a prisoner.
Dong Shu was captured, and not one of the five hundred cavalry who followed him escaped. About two hundred of them died in the battle, including the scout centurion. In order to keep his family safe, he tried his best to block Feng Xun and
Ao Wu and his party ended up dying in battle. If he had known that Dong Shu had not escaped but was captured, I am afraid he would have regretted his desperate act.
