Although Ning Qian's infantry occupied the open space, it was not a complete infantry formation. Due to the numerous military tents, the open space was divided into many small open spaces, and the rogue infantry formation was also cut into six formations. Aqige
Taking the lead, he led a hundred-man swordsman team to launch a fierce attack on the outermost peasant army infantry. The bandits were armed with two-foot long spears. These tight spear arrays were very effective against cavalry, but they were a little weak when facing infantry.
The soldiers moved forward slowly against the thick wooden planks. Most of the bandits' spear heads were stuck on the planks. As they got closer, the bandits' spears lost their advantage. Aqige led his soldiers into the enemy's position.
, the cavalry sword took advantage of melee combat, chopping and thrusting, and the peasant soldiers holding long spears fell to the ground one after another.
At this time, the infantry formed a tight formation, and the two-foot-long spears could be swung open when people were fighting against each other. On the other hand, the cavalry swords were not affected by the slashing, the blades were sharp, and the wooden gun handles could not stop them at all.
Ning Qian's eyes widened. As several peripheral formations were defeated, he finally fell into despair. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The spear formation caused huge trouble to the officers and soldiers before, but it also faced close enemies.
When fighting, the spear formation will also lose its advantage. The officers and soldiers are really not simple. They made changes so quickly. The cavalry changed into infantry. Just a little change turned the situation around.
The spear formation was collapsing, and the peasant soldiers who had lost hope began to collapse. Maoxiang had been waiting for an opportunity. As soon as he saw the opponent's formation collapse, hundreds of cavalrymen dispersed. Half an hour later, the tight spear formation was gone.
, some are just the miserable sounds of the bandits.
After seizing the camp in the direction of Manchuanli, Aqige began to rest and recuperate and did not launch an attack in the direction of Tianzhu Mountain. However, Zhao Lin and others did not feel comfortable because the army from Shang Kexi's side created greater pressure on them.
In half a day, Shang Kexi accelerated the attack, and 10,000 elite border troops launched a fierce attack on the southern part of Tianzhu Mountain. There were only more than 4,000 rogue bandits stationed in the southern highlands, and they were heavily besieged. The rogue bandits were no match, not to mention, in
When defending the south, there was no geographical advantage. The firearms in the hands of the border troops continued to cover long distances, causing endless trouble to the peasant army soldiers.
In the evening, a group of black-armored soldiers held up heavy shields and began to launch a frontal attack. Countless sharp spears were hidden behind the shields. Although this heavy offensive formation was very slow, it crushed them like a torrent of steel.
By the time Xu arrived, the entire southern camp's defense line collapsed, and the defeated bandits were like crazy goats, fleeing in all directions.
News of the collapse of the southern camp soon spread to the Tianzhu Mountain Dazhai. Zhao Lin's face turned cold, and Luo Hao and others also looked dull, no longer as arrogant as before. The so-called Tianzhu Mountain Defense Line was like a joke.
In the face of the powerful offensive of the officers and soldiers, it could not hold out for even three days. If the perimeter could not be defended, could Tianzhu Mountain City be defended?
Luo Hao had very little confidence. Even Zhao Lin didn't have much confidence. Luo Hao was hunched over. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged more than ten years. "Zhao Lin, what should we do now? There are soldiers and horses in the direction of Manchuanli."
Almost the entire army has been wiped out, and only 2,000 remnants of the southern camp have escaped. Now we have less than 8,000 available troops. It is really difficult to hold off the officers and soldiers with this small force."
Zhao Lin suddenly showed a mocking smile and blocked the officers and soldiers? No, he didn't want to resist at all. There was only one dead end in Tianzhu Mountain. The road in the direction of Manchuanli was cut off. The officers and soldiers had no worries. Nearly 50,000 troops surrounded Tianzhu Mountain.
However, Tianzhu Mountain has lost its previous geographical advantage and cannot rely on eight thousand remaining soldiers. So why fight with others? Zhao Lin feels that even if everyone is split in half and turned into three heads and six arms, they may not be able to defeat the officers and soldiers.
. Without Manchuanli and Yichuan City, Tianzhu Mountain is like a useless piece of cake at this time. "Give me the order. Set off more torches at midnight. After three drums, everyone should escape along the gentle slope."
In Zhao Lin's voice, I heard a kind of decline, which is the feeling of a hero's twilight years and the collapse of his confidence. Luo Hao's face was stiff, he couldn't say anything, and he ran for his life. He didn't expect that Luo Hao, who regarded himself as a warrior, would one day have to fight for his life.
Run away like a lost dog.
After nightfall, rumbles of war drums rang out from the direction of Tianzhu Mountain, and there were many torches at the top of the city, illuminating the night as if it were day. The officers and soldiers outside the city were startled, thinking that the bandits had launched a night attack, but after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
No one was seen. Shang Kexi and Orger were also alarmed. He watched with a telescope for a long time, but could not see any clues. However, Shang Kexi did not dare to sleep, for fear that there might be a scam.
The next day, the city was still empty.
Looking at this empty town, the thick bluestone still exudes an icy chill, Shang Kexi's eyes turned black. On the one hand, he was angry, and on the other hand, he was embarrassed. With such a great advantage, he actually let a group of people be slaughtered.
The lamb ran away. After so many years of fighting, this was the first time that someone had treated him like a monkey. As soon as several Qianzong generals entered Tianzhu Mountain, they searched in all directions. Now half an hour later, they all returned to Dazhai dejectedly.
.
Retaking Tianzhu Mountain should have been a happy event, but the high-ranking generals in the army all had bitter faces, and there was no smile at all. One of them said with a gray face, "General Shang, all the thieves on the mountain have fled. Ask
The people who passed by nearby seemed to have started running out since Yinshi."
"That is to say, it is the time when the drums are loudest. Tsk tsk, these thieves have actually started to learn to be clever." Shang Kexi looked very ugly. In fact, the methods of the rogue bandits were not clever. However, they really underestimated the enemy and did not guard against the rogue bandits.
Retreating to the north. Shang Kexi and several President Qian gathered together to discuss how to deal with the situation next. There was a sound of footsteps outside, and a sharp voice sounded before anyone arrived. This time, Shang Kexi's face became even more ugly.
What was supposed to be a sure thing, but in addition to unexpected changes, he had to be killed by the princess. As expected, after knowing the whole story, Aqige had nothing good to say at all. As soon as he entered the castle, he started teasing, "General Shang, your eyes are not very good.
You can't even look down on a group of thieves. To be honest, you are still too timid. If I were the princess, she would have led her men to beat those barbarians beating drums. They were just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
If you dare to beat the drum to provoke me, you are simply too impatient to live."
Seeing that Shang Kexi's face was not so good, Aqige didn't bother to provoke him anymore and turned to talk about the next step. Aqige knew that he was not good at planning large-scale marches, so he would not make his own decisions.
Shang Kexi had been thinking about this issue before. Hearing Aqige mention it, he frowned and said, "Although we have been fighting continuously in the periphery, there are still nearly 10,000 remnants of bandits near Tianzhu Mountain, and people like Zhao Lin are also
They are still alive and well. If these people are not dealt with, they will be a hidden danger after all. There is no need to be too anxious about Yichuan City. With the soldiers and horses there, it is impossible to storm Yichuan City, but self-protection is definitely no problem. I
I think we should kill Zhao Lin's remnants first and cut off future troubles. These remnants are mainly infantry. We have the advantage of cavalry. As long as we are fast enough, we can catch up with them. We have already discussed this before you came.
, if you flee north from Tianzhu Mountain, the most likely place to go is Shijiapo. As long as your cavalry reaches the south of Shijiapo before noon tomorrow, we will be 100% sure to destroy this bandit.
"
Aqige thought for a moment, clapped his hands, turned around and said with a smile, "Okay, in that case, it won't be too late. I will go back and make arrangements now. However, you have been marching and fighting for days, and now you have to march immediately.
Can the soldiers hold on?"
Shang Ke rolled his eyes happily, and several other President Qian even widened their eyes. One of them stood up and said angrily, "Princess, you can rest assured about this. As long as the cavalry brothers can stop the rogue bandits, our people will
We can definitely kill them. Isn't it just an army march? If anyone says he is tired, then he is not in charge."
This CEO was famous for his fiery temper, and Aqige was stunned when he heard these words. Obviously, Shang Kexi and the others were stimulated by what happened at night, and they were holding back their energy to seek revenge. Aqige was
Ge didn't say anything more, shrugged his shoulders and left the castle. As soon as Aqige left, Shang Kexi stood up and looked at several Qian Presidents under his command coldly, "This time you will go all out and go out again."
What's wrong? Don't come back. I don't want to be looked down upon by the princess. Huh, if it weren't for the time of employment, I would like to throw all of you into the horse pen."
Several thousand generals were considered guilty of meritorious service. When they thought of being tricked by the bandits, they all blushed and shouted angrily, "Don't worry, General Shang, we are no worse than anyone else. The general will lead the troops in person later, and he will just run away with his legs."
Even if you are beaten, you have to catch up with the thieves." If we still mess up this time, the whole army will not be able to hold their heads up in the future. They are all soldiers. If you don't make steamed buns to fight for your reputation, grandma, why should the princess do anything good?
People occupy it?
As soon as Aqige led the cavalry down the gentle slope, several groups of soldiers and horses were sent from Tianzhu Mountain. These people were mainly infantry and ran forward one by one. Like several Qian Presidents, countless ordinary soldiers also
Who could be willing to be unwilling to have good military exploits just disappear from under their eyes? What was even more annoying was that everyone was so scared to sleep because of the sound of drums that they became so embarrassed when they thought about it.
The officers and soldiers on the Tianzhu Mountain side were in a bad mood, and Zhao Lin was not in a good mood either. Although they had evacuated the Tianzhu Mountain highlands safely, their future was still unclear. Since the Battle of Yezhuping, the officers and soldiers swept across northern Shaanxi, and now there is a huge
Some places are under the control of officers and soldiers, and some rebel leaders have also chosen to surrender with their people. It can be said that northern Shaanxi no longer belongs to the rebels. The people who fled here are not returning to their hometown, but more like a group of immigrants.
"What should we do now? We can't wander around in this area. Once the officers and soldiers catch up, we will have no way to escape." Luo Hao looked dejected, looking at this familiar land, his heart felt desolate. This place used to be
The back garden of the rebel army now seems to be walking in someone else's place. This fertile land is thousands of miles away and the terrain is flat, but in Luo Hao's eyes, it is not good at all. In this kind of place, once a war breaks out, it will be free of mercy. Zhao
Lin didn't understand the reason. The army couldn't stay in such a place. The cavalry of the officers and soldiers were not vegetarians, so the best way was to occupy a city quickly. "I thought about it. The officers and soldiers gathered heavy troops to attack Yichuan."
The city, even the empress soldiers from Shaanxi were taken away. I don’t think there will be too many guards in Shijiapo. Shijiapo is extremely rich and the city walls are thick. If we can occupy this place, we will not only solve the baggage problem, but also
We can use the location of Shijiapo to create some trouble for the officers and soldiers. Therefore, instead of going to other places, it is better to fight and concentrate our forces to attack Shijiapo."
Zhao Lin's words won everyone's approval. In fact, if you think about it carefully, apart from Shijiapo, there seems to be no other place worth attacking. After finding the target, Zhao Lin's soldiers and horses accelerated their speed, and they fought continuously.
The cavalry officers and soldiers were still frightened. The silver-armored horses were a nightmare. At night, more than 8,000 remaining soldiers repaired themselves. They continued to rush on the next day. When they were approaching Shijiapo, Zhao Lin
The last thing he expected to happen happened. A large number of cavalry were discovered five miles ahead. Hearing the news, Zhao Lin was almost desperate and roared angrily, "Damn officers and soldiers, there is no way for us to survive."
Luo Hao also fell into petrification. In this situation, he didn't know what to do. Going to Shijiapo can be said to be the only way to survive. I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to move so quickly. Retreat? No one would propose such a thing.
What a stupid idea. Since the officers and soldiers are catching up, they won't just be cavalry. There must be a large number of infantry behind them. The reason why the cavalry didn't take action is probably because they want to wait for the infantry to arrive and attack from both sides.
Luo Hao is a very bachelor. He was a gangster who came out of the dirty streets when he was a child. When disaster strikes, he is the calmest, "Everyone, in this situation, why do you still think so much? Since there is no way out.
If you can leave, then let’s fight.”
Luo Hao's words were like a knife piercing Zhao Lin's chest. Haha, Luo Hao was right. He was in a desperate situation and having no choice would be a good thing. However, Zhao Lin knew very well that he had more than 8,000 rebel brothers under his command.
They are not elites. Many of them want to go home and farm and herd sheep. How many of them are really willing to fight tooth and nail for such a meaningless battle?
However, Luo Hao stood up suddenly and shouted, "Let's fight, there is no other choice. Everyone retreats to the woods to the south. Depending on the terrain there, we may not be able to cause trouble to the officers and soldiers."
Zhao Lin's heart was bleeding, and he calmed down. He held his horse and looked at the ordinary peasant soldiers behind him. They all looked at a loss. Before Zhao Lin made the final decision, a leader rode on
The horse ran over with panic on his face. Before the horse could stop, he fell to the ground. Regardless of the pain, he said in a hoarse voice, "Leader Zhao, there are a large number of officers and soldiers approaching from behind. The poplar forest has now been occupied."
