Chapter 605 Capture the Flag
Two thousand Fuyun's personal soldiers were defeated by three thousand Tang cavalry.
The three young generals Liu Rengui were extremely brave. Facing the oncoming fan cavalry, they didn't have the slightest intention of retreating and evading them, so they slammed into them fiercely with their horses in their arms.
Meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
The two armies collided, screaming again and again.
In an instant, countless knights from both sides fell off their horses.
But Liu Rengui didn't care about these things, he just continued to charge forward, and the flag bearer beside him held his general flag high, followed closely behind, leading Tang Qi forward.
Forward Forward Forward Forward!
Almost all are just one move, either you die or I die.
Tang Qi killed and pierced Fu Yun's army, but saw Fu Yun's sweat flag run southward from one side protected by Bai Qi.
"Don't let the old thief run away, come with me, kill the general and capture the flag, seal his wife and son!" Liu Rengui shouted. , was fortunate enough to meet the emperor, and even served under Qin Lang for a short period of time.
Since then, Fatty Liu has simply abandoned his pen and joined the army. He no longer wants to be a civilian. He wants to be a general.
The last time the troops were divided, they failed to be assigned to Qin Lang of the North Route Army. Fatty Liu was still very disappointed. During this period of time, he was extremely exhausted, but he had no military achievements at all. In the end, he was besieged by the barbarians. Released, turned into a violent killing intent.
He didn't care that the Tuyuhun cavalry who had been killed and pierced behind him was chasing up again, Liu Rengui only stared at the sweat flag, where the sweat flag was, the old thief Fu Yun must also be there.
"kill!"
"Xiu Fang Fuyun, the old thief has escaped!"
The credit for capturing King Zhanqi is huge, and no one wants to let it go. If you are lucky enough to capture Khan Zhanhanqi, not to mention Jiaxun Shangzhu Kingdom, you will definitely have it if you get five or six.
The cavalry burst out with unparalleled impact as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they pursued closely.
Fu Yun didn't expect that, after fighting for a long time, Tang Jun caught a chance. With just such a chance, they could turn against the wind.
Liu Lancheng chased after Liu Rengui and the others, and killed them all the way. Facing the two thousand defeated soldiers, he killed them like chopping melons and vegetables, completely killing them.
"General, Liu Duwei and the others have gone after the old thief Fu Yun, should we pursue?"
Old Liu flicked the Mo Dao in his hand. A scholar who was born in Mingjing, but he preferred to carry the huge Zhangba Mo Dao to chop people. He looked over there and then to the north.
"The old thief Fu Yun will be handed over to Liu Rengui and the others to chase after him. Let's go north and stab those damned Tuyuhun people in the backside!"
"Stab them!"
Three thousand riders, screaming and continuing to kill north.
Respected King Murong Cheng was still desperately leading his troops to fight for the crown prince. He was attacked again and again and was repelled again and again. The hillside was already soaked in blood, and it slipped when he stepped on it, which made the attack more difficult.
The corpses everywhere were also directly used by Tang Jun to build a wall of sheep and horses to resist the attack.
Liu Lancheng led more than 3,000 cavalry, suddenly came from behind and stabbed their chrysanthemums violently. Lao Liu even let the soldiers rush forward while shouting that the old thief Fu Yun had been captured alive.
Slogans such as abandoning weapons and avoiding death.
The Zunwang's troops, who were exhausted from the offensive, collapsed instantly after being hit in the back.
Many people started turning and running away.
Xi Feng Cunyi was out of breath, took advantage of the situation and regained the lost line of defense, pushing the front line to the front again.
Under Shuai's banner, Chai Shao also stopped playing the piano.
Liang Jianfang came again to ask for orders to play.
The battle lasted almost a day, and Liang Jianfang's two thousand elite riders had not been allowed to attack.
"Okay, you lead the cavalry to go down the mountain and join Liu Lancheng's troops, let's go."
Tens of thousands of Tuyuhun people are rushing northward and will arrive soon.
At times like this, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will change in the next moment. It depends on who can seize the opportunity.
Liang Jianfang rode his horse and ran back, shouting, "Raise the flag, follow me!"
Two thousand Longyou Jingqi, who had been recharging their energy for a long time, rushed out.
A red flag fluttered high in front, and the horses rushed out of the forest and swooped down from the mountain, carrying the momentum of thunder, the Tang army on the defense line gave way one after another.
The Tuyuhun army standing in front of them couldn't bear such a fierce charge. They were thrown all the way, and they were rushed out of several big holes by Tang Qi.
Two red flags converge, two Tang cavalry converge.
Liu Lancheng shook the stranger, "Come with me!"
The bravery of the cavalry lies in running, Liu Lancheng did not stop, the thousands of horses will be submerged soon, but when they run, the thousands of cavalry will have the momentum of thunder, even tens of thousands of people can't stop it sometimes .
Chai Shao looked at the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun people running closer and closer, threw away his pipa and got up.
"Beat the drums, blow the horns, the time has come for the whole army to counterattack, all the garrisons go together."
Chai Shao turned to Zhang Chao, who was wearing golden armor, and said, "Do you have the guts to charge?"
Zhang Chao said angrily, "Of course."
"That's good, let's charge!"
Chai Shao got on his horse.
The big banner leaned forward, and the whole army attacked.
Chai Shao has put all his eggs in one basket and is ready to take advantage of the opportunity to fight to the end.
Fighting opportunity is so fleeting, Chai Shao did not hesitate, as a general, he must have the decisiveness to make a prompt decision.
On the 20-mile front, there were at least 80,000 to 90,000 Tuyuhun troops, but with Fu Yun's retreat and Liu Lancheng's cavalry coming from behind, the Tuyuhun army had already been shaken.
This is the most rare fighter.
"Come on!"
The big banner moved forward, and the Tang army commander in golden armor also galloped forward, and Chai Shao also killed down the mountain with his own soldiers.
The two cavalry of Liu Lancheng and Liang Jianfang joined together and became the spearhead of the counterattack and revenge. They swept across from left to right, and Chai Shao also led his troops down the mountain and followed closely behind.
This spear of revenge is getting stronger and stronger, and its offensive is getting more and more fierce.
Liu Shenli and Wang Xiaojie turned the battlefield up and stopped chasing Fu Yun. They gave the credit to Liu Rengui, led nearly 2,000 cavalry under their command, killed a carbine, and ruthlessly entered the old camp Among the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun people who came here.
Momentum.
At this moment on the battlefield, the momentum of the Tang army was incomparable, but the Tuyuhun army was extremely chaotic.
Some people saw that Fu Yun was defeated and fled, and immediately turned around and retreated, while some continued to attack fiercely, while some were watching from left to right, and the offensive stopped...
Tang Jun went down the mountain like a tiger, and he was already moving.
With this huge morale, the Tang army began to sweep the battlefield.
One after another, the Tuyuhun people were defeated. Because of the mountain-climbing attack, many people abandoned their horses and fought on foot. Horse warriors and rear warhorses.
Many Tuyuhun soldiers who retreated found that there were no horses.
They stood on the grass at the foot of the flat and open mountain, but they became the best targets for Tang Qi.
One after another, the Tuyuhun branches collapsed.
The crash continues.
Zunwang Murong Cheng watched, gnashing his teeth, he was the last to order the retreat.
As soon as he retreated, he met the generals Liu Lancheng, Liu Shenli, Wang Xiaojie, and Chai Shao who came to kill him. He also saw his eldest brother Murong Shun, and the golden armored Qin Lang under the big banner.
Murong Cheng rushed forward with red eyes.
The young second prince wanted to save the situation with his own efforts, and even wanted to cut off the head of Qin Lang, the coach of the Tang Army, and seize the flag of the Tang Army Commander.
He wants to be a hero of the world, he wants to be the Tuyuhun Khan of the future.
He stared fixedly at the handsome flag, at the golden-armored general under his banner, and if he killed him, he would be able to win the final victory, and the Tang army would collapse.
Suddenly, an arrow struck.
King Zun was hit by an arrow in his shoulder and fell off his horse.
The personal soldiers rushed forward and quickly helped Zun Wang onto the horse. At this time, no one was going to continue to complete Zun Wang's plan to save the sky. The personal soldiers guarded Zun Wang who was injured and fell unconscious, and turned around and ran away without even thinking about killing Qin. Lang seized the handsome flag and defeated the Tang army.
Zun Wang hit the arrow, the banner turned around.
His subordinates immediately fled in embarrassment and scattered in all directions.
The cavalry roared and trampled with iron hooves.
A branch of the Tang army on the mountain has already jumped on the horse, and swooped down from the mountain one after another.
Thousands of horses are galloping, landslides and ground cracks.
Its momentum has been achieved, and no one can reverse it.
The entire 20-kilometer northern front, the Tuyuhun army was defeated like a landslide, and fled in all directions. Before the 50,000 rescuers could join them, they were smashed by Tang Qi and scattered, and they also turned around to join them. In the collapsed team.
The Tang army rushed around, crushing them mercilessly on the tens of thousands of acres of grassland.
Liu Lancheng finally had a chance to breathe at this time, he rode his horse under the handsome flag, and immediately saluted Qin Lang, "Old Liu, thank you Duke Wei for your rescue."
The visor on the golden helmet was lifted, revealing a strange young face.
"Meet General Liu."
"Who are you?"
"I am Zhang Chao, general of Duke Wei."
"Where is Duke Wei?"
Chai Shao arrived on horseback, glanced at Zhang Chao, "Who told you to take off the visor, put it down quickly."
"This is it?" Liu Lancheng was puzzled. Could it be that the Duke of Wei, Qin Lang, was injured or died in battle, and now he is keeping his funeral in secret, deliberately letting his personal soldiers pretend to be so as not to shake the morale of the army. "What's wrong with Duke Wei?" He hurriedly lowered his voice.
"Liu Gong, Wei Gong has other tasks, so I won't go here for the time being, so I don't have time to go into details now. Liu Gong, let's take advantage of the victory to wipe out the bandits, don't miss such a good opportunity. Let's talk about other things later."
Liu Lancheng felt a little relieved, "It's fine, it's fine."
Hundreds of thousands of Tuyuhun troops broke up and fled on tens of thousands of acres of grassland, while tens of thousands of Tang troops chased and killed them on horseback.
Before dark, they chased and killed for more than forty miles all the way, until they reached the hot spring valley in the south.
King Tianzhu sent troops across the river to meet the defeated soldiers, and retreated to the valley below the stage.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and King Tianzhu's soldiers on Yema Beach were also in order, with a large number of soldiers and horses.
Order the cavalry to run around, pass the order to the commander-in-chief, retreat ten miles, and set up camp in the southeast of Taidong, with the mountains behind the water.
On the Mustang Terrace at the southeast corner of ten miles away, Cheng Yaojin's troops, who were still besieged by the Tianzhu King's army, almost blocked the battle in the north during the day. This fierce battle also saw Tang Jun's final victory.
At this time, only ten miles away, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Wanche and others could already stand on the stage and see the big banner of Tang Ying.
"Saburo is really good, and he won this battle beautifully."
Old Cheng was amazed.
During the fierce battle in the north during the day, Lao Cheng also put on his armor and launched a few tentative breakouts. Although each time it was just a feint, it did divert King Tianzhu's attention.
Xue Wanche was speechless, his leg injury was not completely healed at this time, and he was still limping when he walked, thinking of his previous defeat, but today Qin Sanlang won so bravely, he was really ashamed.
Xue Wanjun was worried.
"Although the Duke of Wei won a big victory today and broke the siege of General Liu, but after careful consideration, this was the defeat of the old thief Fu Yun who underestimated the enemy. King Tianzhu was also careless for a while and did not send troops to reinforce in time. But even so , Fu Yun’s 150,000 horses have only lost two or three stops today, and the rest were gathered by King Tianzhu, but most of them were actually preserved, but they lost their camps and lost a lot of food, grass and livestock.”
"As for King Tianzhu's 100,000 main forces, none of his troops were lost. Based on this calculation, there are still more than 200,000 bandits. Wei Gong and Lao Liu joined forces. After this battle, leaving aside the casualties, it is estimated that the Less than 30,000, today's casualties are heavy, if we fight again, we will be outnumbered."
These words spoil the atmosphere, but they are true.
Today's Tang army's victory can only be regarded as a miserable victory. After all, with Tianzhu King's 100,000 troops at his side, although the Tang army defeated the Fuyun army, they could not wipe out many. And resumed again.
On the contrary, it was the Tang army. After this battle, the casualties were not small.
The point is that Tuyuhun is still surrounding Cheng Yaojin and his 7,000 troops. This is a big trouble.
I want to fight, but it's not easy to fight.
In this battle, Fu Yun was careless, King Tianzhu underestimated the enemy, but after suffering such a big loss, it is difficult to have the opportunity like today.
Lao Cheng also had a sad face for a while. Lao Cheng fought all his life. From the time of the Sui Dynasty chaos, he scattered his family wealth to recruit brave children to form a township regiment. Persuading Qin Qiong to abandon Wang Shichong and return to the Tang Dynasty, Lao Cheng's life, although he usually behaved carelessly like a scumbag.
But in fact, Lao Cheng has read a lot of books, and his mind is meticulous. At critical moments time after time, Lao Cheng never panicked. Before the change of Xuanwu Gate, he often advised Li Shimin to preemptive strikes.
This time, it was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"Everyone, don't look so sad like a dead old lady. Anyway, today my Tang army won a big victory, so we should all celebrate. Although this victory was not won by us, it is also our Tang Dynasty's victory. Pass down the order , burn peace cigarettes, kill cattle and sheep, brothers have a full meal, if there is no good wine, replace wine with tea, and drink to congratulate each other!" Lao Cheng didn't bother to worry, soldiers came to block, water came and earth flooded, let's celebrate first and improve morale .
