Zhao Kuangyi was filled with hatred and said: "It should be the group of thieves who attacked the camp..."
He hated the other party for being so cunning and actually using Zhao Hongyin's banner.
If not, how could he have been defeated today if he had set up his military formation in advance?
Zhao Kuangyin saw his brother in such a mess and said with gritted teeth: "I hope my brother will avenge you!"
At this time, news came from behind that the Southern Tang Army was pursuing them.
Zhao Kuangyin was unmoved, supported Zhao Kuangyi and said: "Get on my horse!" He said that he mobilized most of his personal guards to protect Zhao Kuangyi, then took an ordinary war horse from the soldier, jumped up, and stood high.
He laughed and said: "Sirs, since you followed me to send troops, the number of bandits defeated by us is not one hundred thousand, but seventy or eighty thousand. Maybe we fought too hard, and the bandits were afraid of us, so they actually mobilized
The troops from most of the Huainan prefectures came to intercept us."
"This is our honor! If we hadn't killed them ruthlessly and scared them, how could they have received this treatment!"
"If you want to trap us, let them know today that they alone are not qualified!"
"Follow me and charge in that direction..."
Where the long stick in his hand pointed was exactly where Guo Ting said he was pursuing.
Zhao Kuangyin reacted so quickly. Although Zhao Kuangyi did not know which army occupied Chuzhou and defeated their camp in Liuhe. But to the west of Chuzhou was Luzhou where Luo Youdu was located, and the soldiers from Jiangnan fought fiercely with him again. Thinking of Chu,
The troops in Chuzhou intended to outflank themselves, and it was obvious where the troops occupying Chuzhou came from.
Haozhou is adjacent to Shouzhou. Even if the generals of Haozhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty defeated his father and divided their troops to capture Chuzhou, they would definitely leave troops to guard Haozhou.
The enemy forces in the direction of Chuzhou must be limited, so it is the best place to break out.
Of course, the most critical point is to break out to the west to be closest to Luzhou.
Zhao Kuangyin now has no food in his hands, and the survival of his troops is a problem. At this time, he can no longer care about face.
It is better to ask Luo Youdu to borrow some grain than to have your own soldiers starve to death, or to rob and kill the people along the way.
When Zhao Kuangyin saw that the cavalry on the left and right were already mounted and the infantry were ready to risk their lives in a fight, they charged at Guo Tingwei first.
Guo Ting said that it didn't take much effort to defeat Zhao Kuangyi, but Zhao Kuangyi's fire really made him disgraced.
It was midsummer, the weather was dry, the fire was raging, and they had no fire extinguishing tools at hand, so they could only watch helplessly as the food, grass and baggage turned into ashes.
Guo Tingwei was extremely angry, thinking that he had to teach Zhao Kuangyi a lesson, and followed him all the way.
Looking at the dust in the distance, Guo Tingwei was shocked, "Did Zhao Kuangyin break out?"
Naturally, he did not know the first-hand battle situation on the front line, so he could only rely on guessing. He waved his hand and stopped the pursuit. He lay down on the ground with his ears pressed to the ground. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "crouch with spears and form a formation to resist the enemy!"
Facing the cavalry, when there are no obstacles such as blocking the horse, the spear formation is the most common and rare method that can confront the cavalry.
Guo Tingwei was in the middle of the formation, looking ahead solemnly.
In just a moment's time, the enemy army appeared in front of us.
Seeing the opponent's cavalry gradually speeding up and charging into battle, Guo Tingwei's palms broke into a cold sweat.
Getting closer and closer, already within a stone's throw.
With a distance of only a hundred steps, the cavalry who increased their speed could reach the distance in just a few breaths.
However, at this moment, Zhao Kuangyin's cavalry separated from the left and right wings like the wind and directly bypassed the Rulin Spear Formation.
The infantry formation behind the cavalry bravely faced the gun formation.
Just as the Zhou infantry formation was entangled with the spear formation, Zhao Kuangyin and Yang Guangyi had already detoured behind Guo Tingwei, and carried out a ruthless and accurate plan to kill them.
Guo Tingwei had almost no chance to react, and the three thousand soldiers and horses were torn apart in two sections.
Zhao Kuangyin was still waiting to be charged and killed, but the pursuers of the Southern Tang Dynasty behind him were already approaching.
**********
Military tent of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Li Jingda was at the top, with Bian Hao, Xu Wenzhen, Lin Renzhao, Chen Decheng, Guo Tingwei and other Southern Tang generals on the left and right.
Li Jingda was in high spirits. Although he did not annihilate Zhao Kuangyin as planned, he was very satisfied to be able to repel and defeat him.
Although they paid a much higher casualty price than Zhao Kuangyin's troops, they also allowed him to break through and run away. But for Li Jingda, who was not very demanding, this was already very impressive.
That's Zhao Kuangyin!
A being who forcibly slapped the title of Enemy of Ten Thousands on their heads.
To be able to defeat such an awesome opponent was a great morale booster for the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty who had suffered so much from Zhao Kuangyin and Luo Youdu.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the military tent was particularly lively.
Without the constraints of Chen Jue, Li Jingda immediately ushered in such a great victory. He was also very high-spirited, patting the case and saying: "After Zhao Kuangyin is solved, Luo Youdu will be next!"
"Pioneer Zhao Kuangyin, then defeat Luo Youdu, and finally confront the Northern Bandits in Shouzhou!"
The script Li Jingda has already written.
But the process has to be compiled by my subordinates.
Using the power of the Huaixi East Road to surround and kill Zhao Kuangyin was also a tactic that Bian Hao, Xu Wenzhen, Lin Renzhao, and Chen Decheng came up with after discussing it over and over in Jiangnan.
Li Jingda excitedly slapped the case and stood up.
My hand hurts a little.
The originally warm atmosphere in the tent suddenly became a little deserted.
Look at your nose with your eyes, your mouth with your nose, and your heart with your mouth.
Xu Wenzhen looked at his toes as if looking at a beautiful woman.
Lin Renzhao thought about whether his bad breath was real or not. Many people had reported this to him, but he just couldn't smell it.
Chen Decheng raised his head, looked at the top of the military tent, and found a small hole.
Guo Tingwei, who was almost defeated by Zhao Kuangyin, was like his younger brother and did not dare to say a word.
The scene is a bit embarrassing.
The reason why Zhao Kuangyin was able to repel Zhao Kuangyin this time was because Zhao Kuangyin was top-heavy. He charged into the formation and was invincible. His troops led thousands of troops to overcome obstacles, thus neglecting the rear defense.
And Luo Youdu went to Luzhou, Mouhe Prefecture, and Dingshu Prefecture, controlled the waters of Chaohu Lake, reassured the people of the three prefectures, completely controlled the Huainan Middle Road, and split the Jianghuai River into east and west halves.
If Jiang Huai is a person, then Zhao Kuangyin is the thorn in the back, and Luo Youdu is the sharp sword inserted into Jiang Huai's chest.
Pulling out burrs is difficult, but it can be done.
But if you forcefully pull out the sword that has been inserted into your chest, it will not only cause a bloody column, but it will also be fatal.
"How about we directly support Shouzhou?"
"Shouzhou has been besieged for more than six months, and the food reserves in the city can only last half a year. If we and Luo Youdu live in a hut, and Shuzhou, Shouzhou will not be able to survive even if it is not conquered by the northern thieves."
There was really no one to speak. Guo Tingwei, who had just suffered a defeat, wanted to express himself and spoke weakly.
When Lin Renzhao saw someone speaking, he no longer thought about his bad breath problem and said loudly: "Shouzhou is in danger, so we should give priority to supporting Shouzhou."
So, the vote was unanimous.
Everyone came up with an idea: Zhao Kuangyin is already difficult to deal with, but this Luo Youdu seems to be difficult to mess with, so it is better not to mess with him.
