Chapter 213 Literati Theory
“Ahhhh——”
Hysterical roars echoed through the fields, the roads, the tumbling horse hooves swirled into the mud, hundreds of figures rode war horses into the crowd, and the Tianxing soldiers who reacted were hurriedly forming formations or fleeing in panic. The soldiers at the forefront were still dazed, and had not yet come back to their senses from the sudden attack. The oncoming knight chopped off with a fierce knife, splitting his neck, blood, and flesh as his body was knocked over by the war horse, flew to the comrades behind, and collided together and rolled on the ground for two rounds.
"Enemy attack!!"
The soldiers who reacted were shouting and shouting, calling out the team behind to point to the attacks that were suddenly suffered. What sounded in their ears was the sound of bang bang and thrust between people and war horses, flying in the air, or war horses wailing, kneeling on their front legs, and throwing the cavalry above to the ground.
"Kill here!"
Hundreds of Longyou cavalry crashed into the front troop in the middle, with the blade and spear waving wildly at the Shen Ce army who were fleeing on both sides, bringing up blood and minced meat splattering in sight.
The soldiers of the Shence Army, with distinct armor, were no longer the war-making soldiers in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and had never experienced war. At this time, they seemed extremely panicked. Especially when they saw the scene of flesh and blood flying, people trampling on by war horses and knocking away, they were so scared that they dared not move, or when they heard the shouts of the squad, the centurion, their movements were slow and chaotic, and the weapons in their hands were shaking hesitantly. Looking at the rushing cavalry, their faces twitched. When the sound of horse hooves, their comrades' shrill screams became clearer. Many people screamed: "Ah--" and turned around and ran away.
The next moment, the huge waves slapped the escaped figure!
The spear and a horizontal knife cut down on the horse's back, stabbed it, and sank into the flesh and blood of the armor. The war horse charging at high speed knocked over the man. Without having time to make a scream, the rolling body was wrapped in countless tumbling horse hooves, stepping on crackling flesh and blood, and the sound of bone shattering.
Woo--
The Niuke hut was blowing in the rear formation of Tianxing Army. The Shence Army, which was parallel to the other side, was accompanied by more than a thousand cavalry, and hundreds of cavalry were divided into reinforcements here.
On the road over there, the Longyou cavalry that had passed through him did not stop, leaving more than ten corpses, turned around, and the Shence cavalry chased and chased, rushing and escaping into the mountains, startling birds and circling among the mountains.
Following the scouts searched along the way, among the mountain roads, we saw several thick tree poles blocking the road from front to back. The ownerless war horse shook its tail and licked the dead owner. On the narrow mountain road, there were people and horse corpses everywhere.
"ambush....."
As if he realized the opponent's idea, the scout who was searching quickly turned back with the news. Soon, the news was conveyed to the coach in the middle as quickly as possible.
.........
Du Rangneng, who was located on the middle route of the army, stroked the war horse's mane with some anxiety, looked at the gloomy clouds in the sky, and raindrops fell in his eyes from time to time.
Next to the war horses moving forward was Wen Zhaodu, who had led the army to participate in the battle in western Sichuan. Although he did not directly lead the troops to fight, he always had experience. This time it was his second time to lead the troops. He was a little strange and a little excited.
Looking at the archers around him, heavy armored shields, guards and cavalrymen who were following him to fight, a large number of Dragon and Tiger soldiers and light cavalry were moving forward in a sturdy manner, as if they had the power to flatten everything.
Wei Zhaodu retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Du Rangneng, who was riding horses on the side. The two of them were ministers in the same palace, so they were naturally familiar. Seeing that his face was a little frightened, Wei Zhaodu raised his hand, wiped the sword head with a handkerchief, and smiled:
"Brother Qunyi, it's not the first time you are leading troops. Why are you so looking like this? You're not afraid that those thieves can kill Chang'an, right?"
As the envoy of several armies this time, Du Rangneng did not dare to be careless at all. From taking orders to gathering troops, food and grass, he checked them one by one. Perhaps he was a little tired, and he was still in a trance at this moment, but he could see through the differences between the two armies thoroughly.
The Shence Army is well-equipped, but the army has been short of its days and has not experienced any war. However, the Longyou Army is in a harsh environment and poor equipment, but its temperament and experience are not comparable to that of the Shence Army.
Du Rangneng sighed lightly, looked at the soldiers and horses moving around, and then said, "Brother Zhengji is joking. What else can I worry about? Your Majesty sent you and me out, and his intention is obvious. How can I not tell it? It's just that the Shen Ce Army is too short and has not experienced any war. If you face the border army, you will be killed or killed, and you will be unable to bear it."
"It's good if Brother Qunyi knows it, but Your Majesty asked us to come out. Even if we can't win this battle, we can't lose our might." Wei Zhaodu smiled and raised his hand and swept around. "Look at these guys, even if the boundless army is fierce, they are also excellent soldiers. After passing through the battle in western Sichuan, they have some experience in the battle formation. When we are stationed later, you and I might as well discuss it. At that time, we can fight against the rebels and deal with it."
Du Rangneng looked at the figure who nodded and chuckled on the horse's back, his expression was stunned, and turned back his face with a chuckle, sighing: "The affairs in the military are changing rapidly... Where can I have time to discuss it?"
As he murmured, his voice suddenly paused, and there was a sound of horse hooves behind him galloping towards him. The two of them immediately stopped. The chasing cavalry looked in panic, turned over and vaulted, and quickly stepped forward and clasped their fists: "I report to the envoy, military envoy, and the Tianxing Army came from urgent reports."
The military letter was simple, with only a few strokes. After reading the above content, Wei Zhaodu frowned and handed it to Du Rang beside him to see.
His voice was a little confused: "Small cavalry attacked..."
"This is a plan to lure the enemy." Du Rangneng put away the military information and showed a serious expression: "Don't be fooled, Brother Zhengji, I will send the rest of the Shen Ce army to get closer to us so as not to fall into the other party's strategy again."
snort!
What came from there was Wei Zhaodu's snorting, "Brother Qunyi, don't worry. This plan also shows that the enemy's troops are insufficient and they dare not face us head-on. Relying on this method, you only need to order the command of each army to prevent it. It will not be too late to assemble when it reaches the agreed place."
His words paused.
"What's more, it's best for them to concentrate their energy here, but the generals and the military will be able to go smoothly. It's worthwhile to have some soldiers in the casualties."
Shortly after the words were finished, the military information report was sent again and presented to the two of them. Then more news was handed over like snowflakes.
The Youtianxing Army urgently reported that after 15 miles, it was ambushed by Longyou cavalry, and more than 100 casualties were injured and killed.
The Right Shenwu Army encountered an enemy! Two hundred and thirty casualties.
Zuo Yulin's army was ambushed and the enemy fled. Commander Yang Fengzhong led a thousand soldiers to chase after him. He was imprisoned again and died in the chaos, and the troops dispersed!
"These Longyou Army..."
Wei Zhaodu kneaded the paper and threw it on the ground, gritting his teeth and cursing, "...I shouldn't behaved according to common sense!!"
In an instant, he raised his hand.
“Sentence…”
In the voice, a fast horse in front of him was galloping towards him, and the scout on the horse turned over and dismounted, and quickly stepped forward: "A soldier appeared in front of him, approaching us!"
"This time I'm killing us right now?"
Wei Zhaodu frowned, unlike before, but instead made him feel a little uncomfortable. He pressed the iron helmet on his head, asked the scout to explore again, and said to Du Rangneng on the side, "Look at what other tricks these border troops have to play. Pass the order, tighten the troops and form formations to meet the enemy!"
Soon, the horn that passed the command sounded, and the moving teams gradually separated from the forward state, traveling through fields and woods, forming more than ten square arrays of different sizes in the wilderness.
In the distance, the other side, the other side that decided to win the war, countless steps were spreading as dust was stepping on. The general in charge slowly raised his arms and waved the flag that passed the order.
As they were moving, the teams slowly adjusted and lined up.
"The Li flag... Li Jiji came here in person?" Wei Zhaodu narrowed his eyes, and the flag floating in the distance could vaguely see the huge "Li" character. "It is estimated that there are only 3,000 people... Do you really dare to attack our 20,000 Shenwu Army? Or are there ambush nearby, and you are not afraid?"
Thinking of the generals in the army ahead, he fell down his arms.
boom!
boom!
The war drums were ringing, several square arrays were arranged, and spears were pressing down, and the shields and soldiers stepped forward together. In an instant, the four military formations moved slowly and advanced towards the opposite Shen Ce Army without any hello.
