Chapter 740 The answer will be revealed at this moment
Under Helianlin's shouts, the cavalry continued to charge. Finally, the results were obtained. Not every soldier could possess such great strength. In a short time, there were more than ten tiger warriors.
Unable to withstand the momentum of the cavalry, they retreated vomiting blood, or were simply knocked to the ground.
But such people were only a minority. Most of the tiger soldiers pinned the charging horses to the ground, preventing them from advancing at all.
After several attacks, the number of three thousand Helian cavalry was reduced to less than one thousand. The ground was full of horse corpses and wounded cavalry people. This is because the tiger soldiers did not kill them. Otherwise, they only need to make another sudden thrust.
The length of the iron halberd makes it easy to kill fallen enemy soldiers without much effort.
"Retreat, retreat quickly." Seeing that the number of cavalry around him was already so small, and if they continued to fight, they would all die here, Helianlin became frightened, and after giving the order, he turned around and ran away.
But at this time, they wanted to escape, but it was obviously too late. Feng Xun and his heavy cavalry had already appeared behind them, blocking all escape routes.
The Northern Black Army has been annihilated, most of them were captured, and a very few died in battle. This was also thanks to Tang Ao's killing of Xie Bai. Without a general, the morale of the army was greatly reduced. Facing the fierce Shanshan Guard heavy
Riding, the Northern Black Army, who did not want to die, or said that death was meaningless, finally chose to surrender.
After solving the Northern Black Army, the Helian cavalry became a lone army. Under the bombardment of sky thunder and intensive crossbow fire, they were surrounded by Shanshan Guards who were better equipped and stronger than them, and began a large-scale battle.
An act of surrender.
Feng Xun didn't pay attention to these small fish and shrimps. Instead, he led a battalion of Shanshan Guard heavy cavalry to come behind Helianlin. Just when he encountered this cavalry trying to escape, he refused to comply. He shouted loudly.
After the killing sound, bright silver spears surged towards the Helian cavalry, which numbered less than a thousand people.
There were 6,000 tiger warriors in front who were unable to move even an inch, and an invincible 1,000 Shanshan Guard heavy cavalry behind them. They were attacked from both sides, and the Helian cavalry quickly became a mess.
How do you say that? There are pursuers behind and interceptions in front. It really makes people have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
The Tigers and Ben soldiers moved, no longer just defending like before, but constantly pushing forward, compressing the space for the Helian cavalry to move.
How could Helian's cavalry, whose morale was already in chaos and whose morale was greatly reduced, be able to withstand such a sharp front? As one, two or even more people fell off their horses, some people finally couldn't resist the pressure and surrendered on their knees, abandoning their weapons and jumping off their horses.
He only had one life, and with no hope of victory in sight, no one wanted to die. Within a short time, even Heliansong, a young man from the Helian family, knelt down and surrendered. In the end, only Heliansong was left.
Lian Lin was still on his horse, roaring with a few soldiers.
Whether Helianlin had the backbone, or he knew that surrender would mean death, at this moment he chose to rather die than surrender. But he did not resist too much. When he saw that Helian's cavalry had chosen to surrender,
, he looked up to the sky and smiled bitterly, shouted that Helian was in danger and Dadi was in danger, and then he took his saber and committed suicide on his horse.
As blood spurted out and Helian Lin fell from his horse, the battle was declared to be over. There were scenes of capturing prisoners everywhere on the battlefield.
"These people are not bad, they are all good seedlings. As long as those who surrender don't hurt them." Feng Xun, who was concerned about his army expansion plan, kept reminding the Jizhou soldiers. Later, he ran to Tang Ao's house uneasy.
In front of me, "Master, these people have good foundations and are in good health, but can they be used by us with confidence?"
"Haha, what's the problem? Come, Master, teach you how to do it." Tang Ao laughed and whispered something into Feng Xun's ear, which made Feng Xun, a big man, look happy and nod his head repeatedly.
.
The decisive battle only took three hours, but it took two full days to clean the battlefield and collect the prisoners.
This is because the prisoners are more conscious and know that there is no chance to resist, so they are very obedient. Otherwise, this time will be extended even more.
After the prisoners were captured, the officers of the Shanshan Guard became busy. Cadres at all levels of the battalion, company, and platoon joined the interrogation team. The question raised was very simple, that is, whether they would like to join the Shanshan Guard.
.
As long as you are willing, good food and drink are inevitable; a suit of chain mail, a bright silver gun, and a steel knife are also must-have items; and the salary of fifteen taels of silver per month is unbeatable and sufficient.
You can support a large family and still be wealthy.
Such good conditions made the Northern Black Army and Helian Knights, who were originally just trying to earn a living, very excited. They originally worked hard for others to make a living. Now they just changed their masters, and their treatment is better.
Well, why not do it.
In this way, out of a total of 18,000 prisoners (including the wounded who were not seriously injured), more than 17,000 people finally agreed to join the Shanshan Guard. In other words, except for a few hundred people who did not agree,
Except, everyone else agreed.
This result naturally made Feng Xun very satisfied. After asking Tang Ao for instructions, he took more than 17,000 people straight through Tun County and headed towards Jiangcheng.
In Jiangcheng, there are still nearly two thousand Helian cavalry led by He Lianjie.
The existence of these people is also the fundamental basis for considering the loyalty of the captives.
By the time Feng Xun led his army to Jiangcheng, it was already the fourteenth day of the siege. The Helian cavalry trapped in the city were already hungry and their faces were pale. They were not hungry, after all, there were so many horses to eat.
, which is thirsty.
Horse meat and horse blood are all fishy things. If you don't drink water afterwards, your whole body will feel thirsty and uncomfortable. Fortunately, while they were trapped, there was a light rain. Although it was not heavy, it was
It prolongs the time they can persist. Otherwise, we don’t know what it would be like now.
When Feng Xun arrived here with his army, Xianjun General Cui Changri personally greeted him and talked about the situation in the city.
"You are doing the right thing. Although He Lianjie has lost his fighting spirit after being surrounded, he can still jump over the wall if he is anxious. No one knows what these people will do once the city gate is opened and they see the hope of life.
The thing is, you only have five thousand infantry, so you shouldn't take risks."
When Feng Xun said this, Cui Changri felt much better. He was also worried that he would be scolded for avoiding the war. Speaking of which, although he was a general of the Jizhou Army, he surrendered late and had not made any military exploits.
, it is natural to do things with trepidation.
"Okay, the Shanshan Guards are here. Naturally, there is no need to be afraid of these enemy cavalry. In this way, open the south city gate and let us enter the city." Feng Xun said with a heroic look. Then he waved and called the first battalion commander Zhou Jinwen.
Come over and say, "How about it? Do you, the Tiger Battalion, have the confidence to complete this mission?"
Although one battalion only has one thousand cavalry and the other side has nearly two thousand men, they are now full of energy and confidence. "Captain, please feel free to leave the battlefield to me. Our Tiger Battalion guarantees to complete the mission."
"Haha, promise? But my regiment commander is still worried. Commander Yuan and Commander Taishi, please come over. The task will be given to your three battalions. The only requirement is to capture as many people alive as possible and kill as few people as possible." Feng
Xun chuckled, then suddenly changed his voice and called the second and third battalion commanders over.
It was a bit fussy to have three battalions of the main force to deal with the Helian cavalry, which only had less than 2,000 soldiers. They were still remnants. But Feng Xun suddenly thought of the idea Tang Ao had given him, and he had to be careful. These Helian cavalry could not all be defeated.
Kill him, otherwise how will he complete the mission?
The task that could have been completed by one battalion now required three battalions. The three battalion commanders were a little emotional, but considering the regimental commander's request, they kept their mouths shut.
With the strength of any battalion, there is no problem in killing twice as many cavalry. They are heavy cavalry!
But when it comes to trying to survive as much as possible, it is very difficult to do. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and people are often killed with just one stab. How can anyone dare to spare a hand?
On the battlefield, if you want to force the opponent to surrender, you need to have enough strength to make the opponent feel scared, so the number of people is very important.
The Jizhou Army has strict military discipline, and the people below would not dare not listen to what the superior officer said. The three battalion commanders discussed it and decided to join forces and advance together to put strong pressure on these last Helian cavalry.
Tai Shijin, commander of the third battalion, also came up with the idea to tell the story about the main force of the Helian cavalry being eaten. This would create strong psychological pressure and attracted echoes from the other two battalion commanders.
The south city gate opened.
After being imprisoned for fourteen days, it was opened for the first time. When the news of cavalry entering the city reached He Lianjie's ears, excitement appeared in his eyes, and he was thinking about whether his own reinforcements were coming.
These days, He Lianlian has thought a lot. Every day that passes, the hope in his heart becomes less and less.
Although he was trapped in the city and had no way of knowing what was going on outside, these days passed without any movement. He Lianjie had a very bad feeling, that is, might the army have been defeated by the Jizhou Army?
Is it tidied up?
But think about it, how is this possible? There are 65,000 cavalry coming this time, and more than half of them are elite troops. Can the Jizhou Army swallow them up?
The reason why cavalry was synonymous with power in ancient times was because they were fast and highly maneuverable. Can't they run away even if they can't be beaten?
The Jizhou Army's cavalry is only a little over 10,000.
Even if they could defeat their own cavalry, would they still be able to capture him alive?
He was in a state of confusion. One thought came to him, and another result came to him. For more than ten days, He Lianjie had not had a good rest. It was only now that he heard the sound of cavalry entering the city.
