The Boye army guarding the border in autumn originally numbered three thousand.
After the continuous battle was exhausted, the remaining two thousand people were all under the command of Li Yunze, the fake capital commander.
Calling it fake is a bit too much. After all, according to the tradition of this era, as long as you have soldiers and money, getting approval from the court is just a matter of an imperial edict.
Li Yunze has no interest in getting an official position now. What he needs to consider now is how to resist Huang Chao's army from entering Chang'an.
For Li Yunze, who had consulted the information, no one knew better than him that Huang Chao, the cultural man who wrote, "The incense formation reaching the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the city is filled with golden armor," did what he did after entering Chang'an City. Something.
This failed scholar, who failed in the imperial examination and hated that his family controlled the imperial examination and did not give the poorer children a chance to succeed, led his troops to attack Chang'an City and transformed into a messenger of revenge to kill everyone.
The houses of the rich who did not escape were all occupied, and the men divided the women among themselves.
All the court officials and Li Tang clan were directly slaughtered.
If you can still understand that he was seeking revenge by simply killing these people, then his troops plundered the people of Chang'an City, tied them up and whipped them and demanded their property, which is called "Taobao". It was a crime to set fires everywhere in the city, burning down countless houses and leaving countless people homeless.
When he entered Chang'an City for the second time, he slaughtered 100,000 people to vent his anger, which was called "washing the city."
When the army rations were insufficient, they learned Cheng Yu's method to make army rations, and even the captured Princess of the Tang Dynasty was brutally murdered.
This man's cruelty and bloodlust are not inferior to those of the Demon King Qin Zhongquan.
However, despite the brutality, he also did some meaningful things, such as uprooting many aristocratic families without even leaving a leaf.
In some places, the foreign population has been eliminated.
No matter what, Li Yunze would not allow Huang Chao to enter Chang'an City.
He didn't care about destroying the Li Tang clan, but he couldn't care less about killing so many civilians.
Li Yunze himself is a common man, and of course he is on the side of the common people.
Not long after breakfast the next day, he finally encountered Huang Chao's troops.
Upon learning that Boye Army actually ran away, Huang Chao was furious and directly dealt with the Boye Army generals who were under house arrest.
Then he ordered General Qiao Qian to be the vanguard and take Huazhou directly.
Not long after Qiao Qian set out, he encountered Li Yunze's military formation on the avenue.
The Boye Army and the Shence Army had enough to eat and drink, and put on new armor and weapons provided by Li Yunze. The flags and other flags were washed and re-erected, at least on the surface they looked okay.
Qiao Qian did not expect to be blocked by the established Tang army. After the accident, he immediately ordered troops to attack.
Huang Chao's army is said to be 600,000, but even if it were cut in half, it would still be 300,000.
After getting rid of civilians and auxiliary soldiers, there are still more than 100,000 capable soldiers.
Qiao Qian's command alone had over 10,000 regular soldiers, plus a larger number of cannon fodder, enough to overwhelm the Tang army blocking the road.
"ha."
Looking at the simple camp opposite and the terrified Shence Army behind the fence, Qiao Qian immediately sneered and waved, "Go up and fill in."
The thieves drove the cannon fodder and poured into the camp.
….
This is a fighting method used by thieves in every era. The captured people were driven out to serve as cannon fodder to fill the city defenses and consume crossbow bolts.
"Damn it."
Seeing a large number of people being forced to die, Li Yunze looked very ugly.
This is the most important reason why he looks down on all kinds of thieves.
What's wrong with the common people? They are treated like objects and their lives are consumed at will. Such behavior is not only a thief, but also a human being.
Li Yunze turned around and looked at the numerous Tang troops behind him, and shouted angrily in a deep voice, "My sons, are there any real men willing to accompany me to kill the enemy?"
The sergeants looked at each other and didn't react much.
After all, we just met Li Yunze for a day
Our prestige and credibility have not yet been established. It would be a bit overwhelming to ask everyone to do their jobs just by talking.
Li Yunze didn't waste any time and gestured to the rows of big boxes: "Anyone who goes out to kill a thief and a regular soldier will be rewarded with twenty guans. The fire leader has 50 guan, the team leader has 100 guan, the brigade commander has 200 guan, and the school captain has 5 guan." Bai Guan!"
When the high-value rewards were given out, the status of the sergeants immediately changed.
Especially the sergeants of Boye Army, each of them stepped forward with eyes shining.
Compared with the ragtag Shence Army, they are all real professional warriors, very professional.
As long as the money is in place, the emperor will dare to kill you.
Li Yunze quickly selected the 500 soldiers of the Boye Army and called to them, "You will attack with me, directly across the driven head of Guizhou, and go straight to the rear!"
Hundreds of soldiers responded in unison, "Yui!"
When there were a large number of soldiers and horses under his command, Li Yunze mainly focused on commanding.
But in this situation, it is very necessary to take the lead.
The gate of the simple camp was opened, and Li Yunze took the lead, holding a gleaming Mo Dao in both hands and stepping forward, followed by five hundred menacing soldiers.
These soldiers have all put on new armor provided by Li Yunze, and their defense power has been greatly enhanced.
Most of them were armed with murderous swords, and the rest were warriors armed with heavy weapons.
From the perspective of the cannon fodder, it was a steel city wall pressing towards them.
The cannon fodder panicked and tried to run back, but they were mercilessly killed by the supervising team.
In the midst of chaos and despair, Li Yunze, wearing a ferocious mask, suddenly shouted loudly, "Get down! Everyone get down!!"
The smart cannon fodder fled towards the mountains and forests on both sides, and the remaining people were at a loss. It wasn't until someone took the lead and fell to the ground that everyone hurriedly followed and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Li Yunze simply accelerated and ran.
He would still watch his feet so as not to step on anyone.
But the five hundred soldiers who followed him didn't care so much. Many of them screamed when they stepped on them with their big feet.
This is not bad, at least it is better to be stepped on and hurt than to be beheaded.
The thieves on the opposite side reacted quickly and quickly gathered their crossbowmen to unleash a hail of arrows.
Li Yunze, who was at the front, naturally withstood the strongest attack.
He held the Mo Dao tightly with both hands and waved the dazzling sword in front of him, knocking away all the sharp crossbow arrows aimed at him.
Although the soldiers following him did not raise their shields, the defensive power of their armors was greatly enhanced. Sharp arrows were useless. Only crossbows at close range could be lethal.
….
But the most unlucky ones were the cannon fodder leaders lying on the ground. They were wearing commoners and had no resistance to the falling arrows, and the sounds of crying and wailing could not be heard.
With a dark face, Li Yunze accelerated like crazy and rushed to the front of the crossbowmen formation that was about to retreat.
With his legs full of strength, he jumped up suddenly, and the Mo Dao in his hand fell down on his head, directly slashing through a trembling crossbowman who was trying to re-wind the bow.
After landing, Li Yunze suddenly spun and swung the nearly three-meter-long Mo Dao in his hand into a windmill. Everyone and horses were shattered wherever the blade passed!
Li Yunze's heroic performance greatly inspired the morale of the Boye Army soldiers.
They roared and followed, swarming into the chaotic array of crossbowmen and killing everyone.
Qiao Qian reacted quickly and immediately sent soldiers to resist.
Facing the swarming soldiers, Li Yunze rushed forward with his Mo Dao without any pause.
Wherever the sword light strikes, even those wearing heavy armor will be shattered.
He is extremely powerful, and coupled with the specially crafted Mo Dao, he is truly invincible as a tiger among wolves.
I don't know how many soldiers were beheaded. When Li Yunze dropped his knife on his pocket and shattered another captain, the special Mo Dao in his hand finally couldn't bear it and broke.
This is not the world of film and television dramas, and naturally there are no weapons that will not break no matter how you use them.
Damage thing.
In those worlds, whether they are the protagonist or the villain, the weapons in their hands are truly magical weapons, and they do not have multiple grains of nicks from the beginning to the end.
Seeing that the killing god's Mo Dao was broken, the thieves and soldiers around him saw an opportunity and rushed over to grab the head.
Even among thieves, rewards are obtained based on military exploits.
A fierce man like Li Yunze would obviously be rewarded generously.
"You know nothing about power!"
Li Yunze squatted slightly, holding the scabbard at his waist with one hand and holding the handle of the horizontal knife with the other.
With a "choking" sound, the horizontal sword in his hand was unsheathed and directly cut off the arm of the fastest soldier.
Next, there was another chop.
It wasn't until the surrounding area suddenly became empty that Li Yunze gasped and stood on the spot holding the knife in his backhand.
The thieves ran away, running away in the direction they came from like a flood at low tide.
This is not a trick to lure the enemy deeper, but a truly demoralized escape.
Even though Qiao Qian brought thousands of regular soldiers, Li Yunze led a fierce attack with 500 soldiers. He first disabled the crossbowmen, and then defeated the group of soldiers head-on. The remaining Those who could not bear the psychological pressure caused by the huge casualties collapsed directly.
Not every rebel army can endure the horrific casualties like the rebels in the Battle of Xiangji Temple.
The Boye Army soldiers who were still alive behind him all looked at Li Yunze's back with admiration.
In this era of martial arts, strong personal force is the most attractive charm, just like Li Keyong.
Coupled with the fact that Li Yunze is generous and generous, he is simply a born strong man worth following.
"General."
A soldier came up and asked, "Are you chasing me?"
Li Yunze simply waved his hand, "Count the battle merits, call the people in the camp to come out, and bring those Guizhou leaders back."
….
The way for warriors to count their war merits is very simple, just take the heads.
As for the Guizhou leaders, living in this precarious and chaotic world, they had long been numb and followed the Shence Army into the camp obediently.
As long as I can stay alive and have a mouth to eat, anything will do.
"Has anyone read a book and can calculate?" Back in the camp, Li Yunze arranged for Zhou Dabao to prepare meals for the Guizhou leaders, and then looked for scholars.
Not to mention, I actually found quite a few.
Li Yunze directly recruited them into the army, and was responsible for the paperwork and began to count the combat achievements of the soldiers.
Looking at the heads placed one by one in front of him, the scholar looked ugly and couldn't help but vomit.
Their performance made the sergeants laugh loudly.
After tallying the battle merits, the rewards will be distributed directly. Naturally, Li Yunze will not pay a penny less.
Several promoted brigade commanders and lieutenants came forward and asked the general what to do next.
Even though they had defeated the bandits in front of them, everyone knew that they were just the vanguard of a huge bandit army, a small part worth mentioning.
When the main force of the thieves arrives, no matter how brave the general is, he will not be able to withstand the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of thieves.
Li Yunze did not disappoint them either. He stated very simply, "Take some time to clean up. We will retreat to Chang'an City after lunch."
