The general was so angry that blood splattered eight feet!
The moment the trumpet sounded, the Shanshan Guard warriors from the north, west, and east directions all showed excitement on their faces. They put away their long ox-horn knives, took out their bright silver spears, and flew forward with a roar.
Come rushing.
The impact of the heavy cavalry is very fierce. Its own weight alone reaches 600 kilograms, plus the weight of the Shanshan Guards and the weight of various armors (a total of 45 to 50 kilograms of chain mail armor)
Each pair contains 1,825 pieces of armor leaves.) It weighs nearly 1,500 kilograms in total. It rushes into the infantry camp like a behemoth, like a steel behemoth that no one can stop.
The ten-foot-long bright silver spear with its sharp tip easily cut through the infantry's cloth armor with just a single stroke using the momentum of the charging horse, drawing out a large amount of bright red blood.
A total of six thousand cavalry rushed from three directions, like a giant compressor, pressing the discus into various shapes, compressing the space of the Liaozhou Army infantry step by step.
Wherever he charged, no one could stop him or defeat him. When the infantry standing in the front row, which was also the outermost row, could not even struggle, they fell to the ground one after another. They had already been beaten.
The other infantrymen were frightened by the Shanshan Guard's bravery and murderous intent, and their fighting spirit quickly dropped. Amidst the shouts of surrender and not killing, more and more people began to drop their weapons and squat on the ground with their heads in their hands.
Go down.
Especially when the last wave of arrows fell on the Shanshan Guard, it was found that most of them were bounced away, and only a few of them would cause some damage to the Shanshan Guard, which was not fatal. Faced with this kind of attack,
The heavy cavalry could not be beaten, wounded, or killed. The last hope of the Liaozhou infantry was shattered. Even the veterans abandoned their weapons and surrendered in desperation.
The battle was resolved faster than anyone imagined. Even though Feng Xun had the idea of victory, when he learned that he had only killed less than 2,000 Liaozhou soldiers in the periphery, he captured the remaining 20,000 enemy soldiers.
, and when there were nearly ten thousand Liaozhou veterans among them, he couldn't help but open his mouth, looking incredible.
The battle in which Tang Ao led the main force of the Jizhou Army to ambush at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain has proved that the Liaozhou Army is no ordinary person. Even in an extremely weak situation, it can still organize an effective counterattack, even in
Even with 50% casualties or even more casualties, they were still able to persevere without losing morale and the entire army being annihilated. This point alone was unmatched by other armies of feudal lords.
Also from the Liaozhou Army, Feng Xun was ready to fight a protracted war this time. Even if the battle in front of him lasted for a day or even longer, he was within his tolerance. Who would have thought that it would only take more than an hour?
It was over. Thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid it was mainly due to the fact that Zhong Mu, An Hong and others escaped.
An army without a general is like a person without a brain. It cannot achieve the goal of exerting its energy in one place and thinking in one place, and the possibility of being breached becomes much easier.
It was precisely because of the victory of this battle that Feng Xun issued a death order to all the Shanshan Guard soldiers at the summary meeting afterwards, with Tang Ao's consent. On the battlefield, if any officer took the lead in escaping, regardless of whether it was
No matter what happens, no matter what difficulties they face, they will all be severely punished - the Yi tribe.
At the same time, another decision was announced. If the battalion commander is unfortunately killed on the battlefield, the company commander will take over his position; if the company commander is gone, the platoon commander will take over, and so on, even if there are only two soldiers left in the end.
One of them is a general and the other is a soldier.
This order is not only applicable to the Shanshan Guard, but also to other branches of the Jizhou Army. With this military order, no matter what kind of hard battles the Jizhou Army faces in the future, it will never surrender.
Saying: Even in the absence of the general, the army can still operate effectively on the battlefield, making the enemy terrified.
The six thousand heavy cavalry achieved excellent results. Feng Xun couldn't help but focus on the pursuit of the two thousand light cavalry led by Gu Dashou. He was eager to get a good harvest there, and it would be best if he could send loyal
Zhong Mu, the commander-in-chief of Liaozhou appointed by the king, was directly captured.
Perhaps due to unparalleled good fortune, Zhong Mu finally escaped, and even his vanguard general An Hong also escaped with him. Although Gu Dashou led two thousand cavalry, he at least killed and captured as many people as possible.
Despite their own numbers, in the end they still couldn't keep the other party's general.
According to Gu Dashou, the general's soldiers decisively stayed on the battlefield. It was precisely because of their desperate efforts that they blocked the pursuit of the light cavalry and gave Zhong Mu and others a chance to escape.
Hearing that the soldiers were blocking the way, Feng Xun could only sigh that the other party should be killed. After all, in the military system of the Qian Dynasty, the soldiers were a very independent existence. They did not occupy the army quota, but they
Enjoying treatment that ordinary soldiers cannot enjoy, they are the personal followers of generals. They generally have high combat power and are often fearless in life and death in order to complete their missions.
Although it was a bit regretful that Zhong Mu ran away, after this battle, a total of about 25,000 Liaozhou soldiers were captured. These were all adult men and they were all strong men. Feng Xun quickly let
The man summarized the situation of the battle, and then asked the birds to report to his master, Tang Ao.
Haocheng.
The reinforcements were defeated. After learning the news, Sang Doubei no longer had any illusions and fled overnight with the 60,000 troops he could take away. When Tang Ao returned with the main army and entered Haocheng, the grain depot here
It was destroyed, and the state treasury was so clean that even rats were unwilling to visit it.
Even when Sang Doubei escaped, he still left a mess and left all the problems to Tang Ao.
Tang Ao was very decisive. After learning the true situation in Haocheng, he sent birds to notify Jicheng, ordering grain and grass and various daily necessities to be quickly transported there. At the same time, he ordered Ji Governor Shi Hance, who had been on standby, to bring a group of civil servants.
Go to Guzhou and take over the post of governor of Guzhou.
The former General Military Mansion became Tang Ao's temporary residence. He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the three-dimensional map of Haocheng hanging on the wall. He looked at the distribution of the yamen, the mansions of the powerful and the residences of the common people above, thinking for a long time without saying a word.
Behind him, Tie Long, the captain of the Dragon Ya Brigade, was reporting some basic conditions in the city. "Young Master, the army has been very disciplined since entering the city. So far, there has not been a single incident of vandalism, smashing, looting, etc., which has attracted praise from the dignitaries and people in the city.
Sheng. Master, it seems that your previous strategy of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger has had a great effect."
How could the excited Tie Long not know about the military meeting at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain? He took down Zuo Zhuang who refused to obey military orders and warned all battalion officers above, making it easier to obtain military orders.
Implementation and execution. Speaking of which, the trigger for all this lies with him, the captain.
The Qian Dynasty seems to be a centralized system of emperors, but after these years of development, the role of the powerful has become more and more important. They unite with each other, and through power, gold and silver, and fame, in fact You control a lot of important positions. In the eyes of the powerful, there seems to be nothing they can't do. It all just depends on whether your own strength can attract their attention.
Under such a general environment, even the Jizhou Army led by Tang Ao, who has always dared to implement an iron-fist policy against the powerful, is still undergoing tests. As far as Long Ya knows, there are already many powerful people who are in secret contact Generals in the army, especially people like Xingsi and Zuo Zhuang who had no foundation before, became the top priority for these powerful men to win over.
After Long Ya's investigation, he learned that many powerful people secretly sent money, goods, and beauties to Xing Si, Zuo Zhuang, and others.
Xingsi was a little better and had some choices when accepting things, but Zuo Zhuang was different. Maybe he had been a bandit for many years and had never seen too many good things. As long as someone gave them something, that was Don't be afraid of those who come. After Tie Long learned about it, he gave a detailed report to Tang Ao and suggested that he take down the military power of Xing Si, Zuo Zhuang and others to ensure his master's absolute leadership position.
When Tang Ao received the report, it was already the time when the army was preparing to attack Guzhou. It is a taboo for military strategists to change generals on the battlefield before a battle. Tang Ao just kept the matter in mind, and did not change the generals, nor did he want to cause any trouble. The meaning of chaos in the army.
However, in his heart, Tang Ao was still very vigilant. But when it came to how angry he was, it really wasn't that big of a deal. What was the virtue of a powerful man, and what was an important part of this society like? He had been in Daliang City for many years, They already understand each other very well. Besides, everyone has the right to pursue beautiful things, not to mention that Zuo Zhuang just accepted the gift and did not do anything to betray himself. If he takes action on the other party just because of this, I am afraid that Even the generals in the army will be dissatisfied.
If you disagree, just do it!
That's just the impression Tang Ao left on outsiders. In fact, Tang Ao's method of handling conflicts among the people is still very gentle. With the frequent changes of emperors, all capable people have inflated ambitions. At this time, all talented people will make comparisons and make multiple choices, so why should you let talented people bow their heads and bow down, even if you have other ideas?
Ideas can be used, but they can never be transformed into reality. This is what happened at the military meeting at the foot of Pingfeng Mountain. Even though the generals won the battle, they did not give any rewards. On the contrary, they won waves of beatings. Of course, Tang Ao dared to do this because he had a very solid grasp of the grassroots officers.
Longyuan Military Academy is not just for fun. Now, at least half of the officers at the lower level, especially at the company and platoon level, are graduates of the military academy or people who have studied there. The existence of these people is why Tang Ao controls the army. The biggest trump card. As long as these people do not oppose themselves, the army will not lose control, let alone rebellion.
