The sudden speed of the Guiyi Army's cavalry completely exceeded Fengxiang Army's expectations.
From the moment the cavalry issued the alarm, during the more than three miles of journey, the Guiyi Army did not even have time for a cup of tea before they were in front of the Fengxiang Army.
At this moment, Feng Xiang's army didn't even set up a crooked phalanx of spears, bows and crossbows.
In the chaos, the first one to arrive was Li Yanli, a member of the Gyeongju party. This guy was forced to follow them at the beginning, but now he has completely surrendered.
Zhang Sikong was fair and fair, and the food in the Guiyi army was very good, and trophies were distributed from time to time. Li Yanli even got a Hexi broken-eared horse and a set of cotton armor.
In addition, he had won battles all the way, so Li Yanli, like Yuanzhou party Xiang Li Zhongchao, his father and his son, had long been committed to serving.
There were thousands of party cavalry roaring in. They were basically unarmored, but their arrow shafts and arrows had been strengthened.
And they don't need to wear armor, because they don't need to rush into the formation. All they have to do is disrupt the Fengxiang Army's formation and make them panic even more.
Zhang Zhao hit him hard on the head, regardless of whether the middle strategy was correct, because he could concentrate his strength to hit a little bit.
Thousands of unarmored rangers aimed at the Fengxiang Army vanguard and fired a dense rain of arrows. The Fengxiang Army vanguard, which numbered only a thousand people, was instantly turned upside down by those who shot them.
There is no way to wear armor on this march!
However, when someone wants their lives, these Fengxiang soldiers who dare to ask for rewards on the battlefield still have a few tricks up their sleeves.
The fire chief, team leader, and these low-level officers tried their best to control the soldiers' emotions and sent the weaker ones forward to resist, while the core warriors hurriedly took out the iron armor from the mules, horses and auxiliary soldiers and put them on.
Among them, dozens of sharpshooters let out ape-like roars and hid behind the crowd and fired rapidly. As the Gyeongju Dangxiang charged, people began to fall off their horses one after another.
Hu Guang, who was following behind, saw that Li Yanli's troops were unable to charge forward, so he became worried and charged forward with several hundred cavalry under his command.
They were composed of Dadan Yueqi and Nestorian knights. They wore chain mail and had horses in their hands. They were much more powerful than the Qingzhou Dangxiang.
Immediately, Hu Guangbu rushed forward, first shot with his horse bow, and then kept wandering around the Fengxiang Army's formation, using the long horse spear in his hand to hit him hard on the head and face.
Of course, the forwards of the Fengxiang Army, who had gained some organization, also began to counterattack with spears, big axes, etc.
After hundreds of people from Hu Guang's tribe fought back and forth for several times and walked around the formation, hundreds of people from Yuanzhou Party Xiang Li Zhongchao's tribe came again. They were also unarmored horse archers, and they came up and fired another round of bows and arrows.
Now the vanguard of the Fengxiang Army was a little overwhelmed. They only had a small number of people wearing armor, so even arrows shot from horse bows were still very lethal to them.
After being attacked by several waves, even the officers could no longer hold back their formation. They dropped some baggage and corpses on the ground and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
At this time, Li Congzhao, who had just been helped off his horse, also ordered the Chinese army to come forward to help.
But it was too late. After the three groups of cavalry, which could be regarded as light cavalry, charged, the main event came.
The infantry commander of the front battalion of Fengxiang Army suddenly discovered that a cavalry team was trotting slowly in the distance.
From what he could see, although there were only a few hundred cavalrymen, they were well-armed and even had visors on their faces.
In their hands, they were all holding long horse spears that could be used to rush into battle. There were no bows or arrows at all. It was obvious that this was an armored cavalry specializing in charging into battle.
Moreover, what frightened the commander even more was that among the black armored cavalry, there were two extremely obvious figures. One with a white horse and silver robe resembled Xue Youzhou, and the other looked like Zhao Zilong.
A man is riding a gold-colored sweat-blooded horse with a hint of purple. He is wearing a golden helmet and golden armor. When the sun shines on him, he looks like a golden armored general, blinding people.
"Run quickly! Xue Baipao is here!"
"Isn't it true that the golden-armored god general has descended to the next world? We can't resist it!"
The Fengxiang soldiers and generals below are all veterans. Many of them have fought with Li Maozhen for three generations. Of course they know what battles can be fought and what battles cannot be fought.
The battle in front of us must not be fought. While the armored cavalry on the opposite side are still jogging and have not yet picked up speed, it is only right to escape quickly.
All of a sudden, thousands of people in the vanguard of Fengxiang Army roared with great tacit understanding, turned around and ran away.
They roared and ran in order to pass the information to the people behind them as quickly as possible and avoid crowding each other while running.
Even the infantry commander quickly pulled the reins and began to charge, but in the opposite direction.
"Attack!"
When the enemy troops ran away, Zhang Zhao could point his horse forward coolly, and the four hundred armored knights rushed over like dragons out of the sea.
At this time, more than 2,000 people from the center of Fengxiang Army had just come forward, but the forwards had already retreated.
He was still shouting nonsense words such as "Xue Baipao is here" and "The Golden Armored God General is coming to the lower realm".
Before the Chinese army, which was coming to assist, could figure out the situation, Zhang Zhao and Murong Nobunaga took the lead and ran in.
This kind of chaotic situation is best suited for armored cavalry to exert their power. If the heavy infantry forms a forest of spears, it is not necessarily impossible to charge, but in this situation, it should not be too easy.
The eyes of Marquis Yu, the commander of Fengxiang's army, who came to support him, suddenly shrank, and then he quickly realized that this was not something he could contend with manpower. He immediately and wisely turned his horse's head and ran away.
"Failed! Defeated!'
"Xue Baipao is here!"
Calls like this began to ring loudly, and all the Fengxiang soldiers lost their desire to resist.
As a result, more than 3,000 rebel cavalrymen chased the front of Fengxiang's army and beat them up, while behind there were only a few hundred people holding back Bu Jia Shi, so they simply intercepted them symbolically.
As soon as the large number of Fengxiang troops saw that the Guiyi army had not blocked the road, they retreated with greater confidence. Everyone threw off their helmets and armor, threw their baggage all over the ground, and fled towards Xingping County crying for their fathers and mothers.
Zhang Zhao was also cautious and asked Bai Congxin to drive some of the mounted Fengxiang Army cavalry to the west. As expected, these Fengxiang Army cavalry were very good, so they turned around and headed west to Wugong County.
When these cavalrymen fled, they heard someone shouting, 'Go into Xingping County and capture Li Congzhao alive, I will chop him up!' and so on.
Zhang Zhao watched the cavalry running away, then waved his hand, "Only some of them will pursue them, and the rest will clean up the battlefield. We are going to give Li Congxia a little surprise.
In Wugong County, Li Congxia was wondering. Not only did An Shenqi not reply to his letter, but his third brother Li Congzhao, who was stationed in Xingping County, also had no messenger for several days.
In confusion, several personal guards hurriedly walked in while guarding a general covered in blood.
"Your Majesty! That boy from Hexi rebelled! Mr. Sanlang fell into his plan of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. He lost thousands of soldiers and horses and retreated to Xingping County.
The people from Hexi also said that they would invade Xingping County and chop Lord Sanlang alive. Please send troops to rescue him quickly!"
Li Congxia looked at the general who was covered in blood and thought he was a member of Fengxiang's left army.
Just as he was about to ask more questions, a louder sound came from outside, and Shi, the chief of Prince Qi's palace, ran in rolling and crawling.
"Your Majesty! Hundreds of defeated troops came outside. They looked like they were coming from Xingping County. They said that Lord Sanlang was ambushed by the Hexi Army three miles west of Maweipo. He lost his troops and retreated to Xingping County. The Guiyi Army was attacking fiercely.
Xingping County!"
‘Bang!’ Li Congxia slapped Hu’s bed with a loud bang, and he stood up suddenly.
"This is too much! He is a boy from Hexi. After pretending to be a loyal and good man of the country, he is now attacking our Daqi soldiers and horses. I am beating drums to gather the generals and I will personally bring a large army to destroy this thief for the country!"
Thinking of this, maybe because he felt a little unsafe, Li Congxia said to his brother-in-law, Lu Duan, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of Fengxiang Army.
"Silang quickly went to Aowu County, prepared a generous gift for Kang Fu, and then went to find the commander of the Yamen Mabudu of the Xiongwu Army.
Just say that I am willing to submit a memorial to show that he will stay behind for Xiongwu Jiedu, and ask him to quickly raise his troops to join me and conquer the Hexi boy together!"
Li Congxia was contacting Kang Fu, while Zhang Zhao was already on the way and had chosen a battle location for Li Congxuan.
He now came to the famous Maweipo. There was a small town here, which was originally a transit point for Fengxiang's army to store grain. Zhang Zhao easily forced the surrender of more than a hundred soldiers here and seized several hundred dan of grain.
But at this moment, the attention of almost all the generals of the Guiyi Army was absorbed by a Buddhist hall in Maweipo.
An old soldier walked tremblingly in front of Zhang Zhao and others, "This official, the Great Sage and Ming Xiao Emperor, ordered Gao Lishi and others to strangle Yang Taizhen to death with a hemp rope in this Buddhist hall!"
"The green flowers swayed and stopped, more than a hundred miles west of the capital. The six armies did not make a move, but there was nothing they could do. They died in front of the horses with their eyebrows turned. The flowers and flowers were entrusted to the ground and no one took it, and the emerald golden birds and jade scratched their heads. The king hid his face and could not save him.
, looking back at the scenes of blood and tears."
Zhang Zhao chanted softly, and the old army thought these people were here to pay homage to Yang Taizhen. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao suddenly pulled out the horizontal sword from his waist, frightening the old army half to death.
"What a wonderful person to die in front of me, what a wonderful person to look back at the blood and tears!"
The brothers and sisters Yang Taizhen and Yang Guozhong were arrogant and extravagant, framed the loyal and good, bullied the superiors and flattered the inferiors. The Great Sage, Ming Dynasty and Emperor Xiao only cared about their own enjoyment and did not care about the suffering of the people in the world.
This caused the two thieves of An and Shi to launch an army in Hebei and conspire to cause chaos. The world was in chaos and many people lost their lives.
Without this, how could Tubo capture Anxi and Hexi? How could we be reduced to Hu'er?
Even if it is extremely miserable for them to die before they look back, how do they know how miserable we are?
Just for this family, generations of us have died in battles far away, and now we can’t return home. Who knows the sufferings of the people like us in Anxi, Hexi, and Longyou?”
As he spoke, I, Zhang Sikong, squeezed out a few tears and said, "Looking up to the sun, Chang'an was nowhere to be seen. But when we arrived in Chang'an, we discovered that those traitors named kings who were actually bandits had already ruined Chang'an to a great extent!
The sons fought bloody battles to quell the rebels, and not only did they not reward us, but they also robbed us of the goods we deserved. This is intolerable, but what is intolerable!"
"Sikong! That Li Congxia is the son of the traitor Li Maozhen. Their Fengxiang army forced the prime minister to death, killed kings, robbed the emperor, and sacked Chang'an.
They are the rebels and thieves, they are bullying others too much, please Sikong lead us to kill these thieves!"
Guo Tiance and Zhang Zhao were in the same mind. They knew that they were going to fight Li Congxia. Zhang Zhao was trying to mobilize morale, so he quickly spoke out to help. "Yes! I traveled thousands of miles across mountains and ridges. Only a certain class of people were beaten, and no one was there."
If you dare to hit us, refuse a reward, and rob someone of his belongings, then we will go get it ourselves from Li Congxia!"
Bai Congxin also shouted loudly, he was really angry at Fengxiang Army's move to seize Xingping County.
"That's right! There is a traitor in the imperial court, and I will eliminate the traitor for the imperial court!"
"Yes! Kill that treacherous minister and traitor Li Congxia!"
"Yes! Get rid of the traitors! Exterminate the traitors!'
Zhang Zhao nodded with satisfaction. The morale and morale of the army can still be used.
The Li Congxia family has been in Fengxiang for decades, and the Fengxiang army is not a soft persimmon. It is really difficult to fight if they don't stir up the fire in the hearts of the soldiers!
