Chapter five hundred and nineteenth cavalry into auspicious city
Pfft...pfft...
When giant crossbows fell into the ranks, pieces of blood began to splash, and figures fell to the ground. The Jizhou Army's originally uneven appearance became even more chaotic at this moment.
The momentum of the attack was curbed, and the Jizhou Army in the front row fell one after another. Looking at Xu Teng who was commanding them behind him, he felt heartbroken. These were all troops he had trained with his own hands.
Although due to insufficient military spending, there was more time for rest and less time for training, but this was not true for the soldiers he had led. It still made him very heartbroken to see so many people die on the battlefield.
Even so, Xu Teng did not order to retreat. The battle had already reached this point. Apart from attacking and capturing King Ji's convoy, did he have any other choice? Besides, although those large crossbows were powerful, they were limited in number after all.
Opportunistic.
The so-called opportunity refers to using the tactic of a sea of people to rush in front of King Ji's convoy regardless of losses. At close range, those large crossbows will naturally lose their advantage, and there will be a chance for a comeback.
There was no order to stop the attack. Although the Jizhou Army suffered heavy losses, they still did not give up the attack and wanted to seize the slightest chance of victory that belonged to them. But since Tang Ao had been preparing for so long, how could he give them a chance?
Just when the Jizhou Army rushed towards the giant crossbow and came to the first iron fence, and had no choice but to stay here, a thousand bows and arrows hidden behind the carriage took action.
One thousand archers each have fifty arrows in the arrow pot behind them. If they are all shot, it will be equivalent to fifty thousand arrows. This amount alone is enough for the Jizhou Army of less than three thousand to drink a drink.
It's amazing. Not to mention, the strength of the archers after two wars has improved a lot, so that when they shoot bows and arrows, they no longer shoot blindly, but selectively aim at the target. So when the bows and arrows become
When the batch was fired, another batch of Jizhou troops fell to the ground.
The Jizhou Army was stopped by the iron net, and then attacked with bows and arrows. The Jizhou Army, which had no place to hide, seemed to be unable to do anything other than throw corpses on the ground and keep wailing.
At this point, especially after seeing that the iron net was completely covered with blood in such a short period of time, Xu Teng knew that he had lost this battle. In order to better preserve his strength, he had to retreat in pain.
Order, hoping to save vitality.
Tang Ao's attacks were always silent. Once launched, they would be like huge waves on the sea, one after another. This is because he knew very well what it meant to kill you while you were sick!
Just when Xu Teng gave the order to stop the attack and retreat, behind them, the sound of cavalry stamping on the ground came. The two thousand cavalry led by Feng Wanli came outflanking one on the left and one on the right, cutting off the attack.
Xu Teng's escape route.
"Not good." As soon as he heard the sound of galloping war horses, Xu Teng shouted in his heart that something was wrong. He knew very well that the poor Jizhou Army did not have cavalry, and only some high-level generals had a war horse. Listen.
The rumble of horse hooves behind him could not be caused by a few or dozens of horses. I am afraid there must be at least thousands of horses.
Thinking that his escape route was cut off and that if he did something wrong, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to, Xu Teng's face changed drastically and he immediately ran away without even caring about his soldiers. What he was thinking about now was
How to escape by yourself? As for these soldiers, just wish yourself well.
The general was the first to escape, and the government could not be unified. The Jizhou Army, which was already frightened by King Ji's army, was even more confused. At this moment, they were like headless flies. Even when they were escaping, they were all confused.
Without a clear direction, you often run towards me, and I run towards you in the opposite direction, so that they bump into each other and chaos regenerates. Zhang Hu and other young generals also tried to reorganize the team, but nothing happened at all.
However, they were scattered in all directions by the chaotic crowd.
"Come on." Seeing that the enemy's morale was completely gone and their formation was in chaos, how could Sun Fuhu miss such an opportunity? After shouting loudly, he led a thousand archers towards the gap in the iron net.
Rushed forward.
While charging, Sun Fuhu shouted, "Those who surrender will live, and those who resist will be killed on the spot without mercy."
Sun Fuhu would shout like this because Ao Qi almost missed the last time he was dealing with Xing Si, which made Tang Ao angry.
Under normal circumstances, Tang Ao would not curse. Firstly, he did not have such a habit, and secondly, his identity was there. But the one-on-one duel between Ao Qi and Xing Si that day still made him very angry.
When summing up after the war, Ao Qi was directly named and publicly criticized.
Tang Ao's words were very simple. On the battlefield, either you die or I die. In such a dangerous situation, even though you have a numerical advantage, you still want to fight alone. Isn't this stupid?
There is obviously an easier way, but you don't use it. Instead, you must be a personal hero. Have you ever considered the possible serious consequences? If you really want to be a lone hero, then go to the mountains and become a green forest. Otherwise, it won't work.
You can also become a ranger. In short, such a person is not suitable to be in the army, let alone your own army.
Who is Ao Qi? He is a person at the peak of his energy. He has defected to Tang Ao early and is very trusted by him. But Tang Ao dares to refuse such a person even if he doesn't want it. It can be imagined that those who want to
People who want to take credit for their achievements should restrain themselves, unless they really don't want to work under King Ji anymore.
Of course, Ao Qi didn't dare to leave. Not to mention that this was originally Master Aoxue's intention to stay with the young master for protection, but these days, Ao Qi also fell in love with the feeling of following Tang Ao. This feeling of dissatisfaction
The days of worrying about food, drinking and being respected have never been seen before. What's more, Tang Ao has become King Ji and is about to take over a place. Large-scale battles will be indispensable in the future, and he cannot be absent.
Facing Tang Ao's reprimand, Ao Qi bowed his head and admitted his mistake in front of everyone, letting others know that Tang Ao really got angry, which was disrespectful. Even Ao Qi was reprimanded, who made the mistake of underestimating the enemy like this?
Dare to commit the crime.
This led to Sun Fuhu's current shouting, and his decisive words to kill the enemy if they dared to resist.
Under Sun Fuhu's shout, not only a thousand archers rushed towards the defeated and panicked Jizhou Army, but also a thousand giant crossbowmen in the carriage picked up their swords and rushed forward after him.
Two thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry were fighting against the 3,000 Jizhou Army who had been severely damaged and completely demoralized. The result was one can imagine. When it was obvious that the situation was over, these Jizhou Army did not even put up a decent resistance, so they just threw away
He disarmed, knelt on the ground and chose to surrender.
As for Xu Teng who led the army, he was not much better. He only had one horse, but Feng Wanli sent a hundred cavalry to chase him. The result was one can imagine. It didn't take long for him to be captured, and he was with those
Jiang Bing fell to his knees on the ground obediently.
...
Jicheng.
News of the disastrous defeat of the army thirty miles away has not yet spread back here. On the surface, everything here is as usual. But only Zhizhou Zhou He and the commander-in-chief Marquis Jifu, who had given the order, have been feeling uneasy.
Although they believe that with the three thousand Jizhou Army, they should be able to defeat King Ji's convoy, but before the final result is obtained, everything may change.
What they didn't know was that at this time, the south gate of Jicheng City had already been controlled by Tielong, which meant that the gate of Jicheng City had already been opened to the outside world.
Speaking of which, the Hou Di Mansion has stationed some cronies at the south gate. There are hundreds of soldiers guarding the gate. Once they find that something is wrong, these men are enough for them to quickly close the gate, and then with
The high wall of Jicheng City resisted the incoming army.
But the so-called cronies, after the appearance of Iron Dragon, especially the stimulation of bringing a large box of silver bullion, the so-called idea of loyalty to the general soldier has long been forgotten. Money can make the world go round.
This moment was fully reflected.
Gold and silver cleared the way. Not only did these Jizhou troops, who couldn't even get their pay and silver on time, do anything to Tielong who revealed his identity, on the contrary, they fully cooperated with his work. According to them, King Ji should be from Jizhou.
The master, even the commander-in-chief, should obey the orders of His Highness King Ji.
With the cooperation of these people, when Feng Xun appeared here with a cavalry consisting of 500 Shanshan Guards and 2,000 security members, it represented the fall of the entire Jizhou.
The process went very smoothly, even beyond imagination. The cavalry entered the city, the people closed their homes, and the empty military camp had long lost the power to resist. So when Feng Xun led people to the Zhizhou Mansion and the General Military Mansion, all the way
We didn't even encounter any decent resistance.
That is to say, when they rushed into the General Military Mansion, a small-scale armed fight took place. But after the five hundred Shanshan Guards took action, how could the soldiers of Hou Di Mansion be their opponents? Soon, this place was also captured.
, or very soon, Hou Difu, who was scolded by Wu Huada, appeared in front of Feng Xun.
"What are you doing? I am the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, a commander-in-chief personally appointed by King Zhong, and recognized by his majesty. But you dare to treat someone like this? Are you trying to rebel?"
Looking at Hou Difu's obviously sullen eyes, Feng Xun, who was riding on the horse, laughed and said: "Rebellion? I'm afraid you can talk about yourself. Humph, you dare to take advantage of His Highness King Ji. This is the way to punish the nine tribes."
Sin, just wash your neck and wait."
"Ah!" Hou Difu's expression changed drastically when he heard this. If it weren't for someone holding him up, he might not even be able to stand at this moment.
