"good!"
Fang La patted the handsome case and said:
"I will give you 20,000 young men and 500 divine guards. You must wipe out all Cao Bin's reinforcements."
"I see how he can defend Hangzhou without reinforcements!"
The Divine Guards are different from the temporary organization of Qingzhuang.
They are elite infantry that Fang La spent a lot of money to build. There are only two thousand people in total, but they are the most devout believers. They are not afraid of death, which is also his trump card.
Fang Maang waved his hand and said:
"Brother, you don't have to be like this! I only bring 10,000 young men, and I will behead the enemy generals to offer them to my brother."
Fang Jinzhi couldn't help but grin, wanting to remind this uncle of two hundred and fifty.
She had seen Cao Bin's soldiers and horses with her own eyes.
In her opinion, the Divine Guards were just ordinary soldiers in front of this kind of troops, not to mention the young man who had just put down his hoe?
After all, she still couldn't bear to see her uncle die on the battlefield.
But before she could say anything, Demon King Zheng Biao had already stood up, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, please send out all your troops to avenge my master!"
His master is Tianshi Bao Daoyi, who has been captured by Cao Bin, and his life or death is unknown.
Fang La waved his hand and said:
"Alright, third brother will bring 10,000 young men and 500 divine guards. Don't be careless."
After speaking, he added:
"You bring Zheng Biao, Pang Wanchun, Lei Jiong and more than ten generals to help."
In his opinion, this was enough attention. After all, there were only two thousand people, not tens of thousands of Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.
But Zheng Biao regretted taking the initiative. He did want to avenge his master, but he didn't want to die...
Fang Maang didn't give him a chance to regret it. Seeing that Fang La had agreed, he immediately ordered his troops and set off.
After sending Fang Mao to resist the reinforcements, Fang La felt relieved and said to Li Tianrun, the "Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses":
"Continue to attack Hangzhou and cannot give them a chance to breathe..."
Seeing this, Fang Jinzhi couldn't help but admire in his heart, the "Holy Master" really had a good plan, and his father was indeed not the one who "should be robbed".
After Fang Mao gathered his troops and horses, he walked less than forty miles to the north when he encountered Gao Shun's trapped army.
Seeing two thousand men and horses forming a formation among the narrow hills, Fang Mang looked carefully and couldn't help but said to the general beside him:
"The elites of the imperial court are indeed extraordinary. The terrain here is not suitable for large-scale operations."
"If our army charges and kills them forcefully, it will be difficult to deploy our troops."
"Who is willing to lure them out..."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw the trapped troops marching forward, like a copper wall and an iron wall, slowly pressing towards Manichaeism.
When Fang Mao saw this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily:
"The enemy general is so arrogant. He clearly despises me!"
As he spoke, he raised his sword and shouted:
"Charge the whole army, crush them for me!"
Zheng Biao was about to dissuade him, but when he saw Fang Mao galloping out, his heart suddenly became cold. He quickly reined in the horse to prevent it from running too fast.
In his opinion, let alone 10,000 young men, even if Fang Lazhen sent 20,000 people, he would not be a match for the other party. He had better not go and die.
In just a moment, the two armies were within a hundred steps.
Fang Mao was about to urge his horse to kick into formation, but he saw countless crossbow arrows coming like a violent storm.
"Fuck, despicable!"
Fang Maung was so frightened that he quickly reined in his horse and hid behind it.
No matter how skilled he was in martial arts, he would not dare to face the rain of arrows.
Especially the arrows from the opposite side, as if they are free of charge, one after another, endless.
In just a few seconds, most of the generals he brought were killed or wounded. General Lei Jiong, who was the fastest, was shot into a hedgehog.
It's not that the Manichaeans didn't want to shoot at each other, but they lacked strong crossbows and didn't have many hard bows, so their firepower was too far behind.
After finally enduring the arrow rain from the opposite side, Fang Maang immediately jumped up and said angrily:
"Rush quickly, don't give them a chance to draw an arrow!"
But as the two armies collided, Fang Mao was stunned.
The trapped army rolled forward like a mountain of rolling knives, smashing into pieces all the enemies it encountered, whether men or horses.
The soldiers trapped in the battle were not excited, nor ruthless, nor even emotional. They were like killing machines, and every move was in accordance with the tactics.
The so-called divine guards only lasted a few dozen more breaths before being slaughtered to death.
"Run, they are not humans, they are demons, run quickly!"
Seeing this, the Manichaeans no longer had the courage to face the trapped army, and fled one after another.
Only then did Fang Maang realize what it means to be elite and what it means to be invincible.
Fighting against this kind of army, personal bravery has no effect.
"Three great kings, this army is invincible, run away!"
Seeing Fang Maung stunned, Zheng Biao and Pang Wanchun each picked up one of his arms, lifted it up and ran away.
In less than two quarters of an hour, more than 10,000 people had already collapsed...
This battle is all about "fast".
The sooner you come, the sooner you lose.
Gao Shun calmly looked at the defeated army all over the mountains and plains, and did not pursue it, but marched towards Hangzhou unhurriedly.
In this battle, he was already frightening the enemy, not annihilating it.
If you just want to defeat the enemy, you only need to use the crossbow array to shoot in turn, and you can make Fang Mao helpless, without the need for close combat.
When Gao Shun arrived in Hangzhou, Fang La had just stopped attacking the city and had not had time to gather the defeated army.
Seeing this, Gao Shun immediately ordered a strong attack without any hesitation.
The Manichaeans failed to attack the city for several days, and they were already a little weak. Now that they were threatened by the defeated soldiers, their morale was already unstable.
What's more, the Manichaeans were a mixed bag of old and weak, good and bad, with no more than tens of thousands young and strong. Being attacked and killed by Gao Shun was like an iron blade cutting through rotten wood.
Fang La's hundreds of thousands of followers were unable to shake the trapped army at all.
When Fang La was mobilizing young men to besiege, the city gate of Hangzhou suddenly opened, and Lu Junyi took the lead and rushed out.
"Minister of War" Wang Yin wanted to stop him, but he knocked him off his horse with a shot and went straight to Fang La's main formation.
All the generals under Fang La's command were so frightened that they hesitated to step forward.
Wang Yin is a fierce general second only to the "Four Marshals", but now he can't even resist the enemy generals. How powerful is this?
Just at this moment, a messenger came anxiously to report:
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the emperor's nephew Fang Jie was defeated and captured. Twenty thousand Song troops have attacked Qingxi County..."
When Fang La heard this, he felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse. For a moment, his heart went cold.
Since meeting Cao Bin, Manichaeism has not only been plotted against, but also defeated in every battle.
What he couldn't accept the most was that there was nothing he could do to defeat only two thousand people from more than 100,000 followers. Are these still soldiers in the world?
Is Cao Bin a human or a ghost?
Now that someone has raided my hometown again, does God want to destroy itself?
Military Advisor Lu on the side quickly supported him and advised:
"Your Majesty, we'd better retreat first and make plans later when we return to Muzhou!"
Although Fang La was reluctant in every possible way, at this point, the defeat was a foregone conclusion, so he could only grit his teeth and shout:
"The entire army retreats and returns to Muzhou!"
After saying that, under the protection of the generals, he beat his horse and fled.
After all, Lu Junyi had a small number of soldiers. He only pursued them for about ten miles before he stopped and began to gather the fleeing believers.
These people have no property or food. If they are not taken into custody, they will still wander around and cause harm to the people.
Fang La ran for more than thirty miles, and when he saw that the officers and soldiers were not pursuing him, he gradually stabilized his soldiers.
It's just that most of the church members have dispersed, but there are still a lot of young people left.
Just when he was in a low mood, more than a hundred majestic warriors appeared on the official road in front, led by a very handsome man with a mole between his eyebrows who said coldly:
"I never thought that Jiangnan La could be so incompetent. It seems that the materials of this palace have been wasted!"
Fang La stretched out his hand to stop the army and shouted:
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
Bushido around a handsome man:
"General Fang, my master is the Princess of Daliao. She is going south this time to help you achieve great things. Why don't you come and greet her soon?"
When Fang La heard this, he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Slave Yelu Guanyin? It's actually you?"
He said with a broadsword pointed:
"Kill this shameless bitch to death!"
Yelu Guanyinnu appeared as the great savior and was waiting for Fang La's warm reception. Unexpectedly, he was greeted by a big knife, and he was immediately confused...
