The Mo swordsmen in the Tang army are all the bravest in the world, and they pay attention to going forward without looking forward to death.
The Mo Daomen of the Tianping Army, even in this situation where defeat was a foregone conclusion, still chose to charge in the opposite direction to buy time for their Jiedushi to escape.
Because of accident and luck, they successfully attacked the boss of Xuanwu Army.
The Mo swordsmen didn't have any extra thoughts. They just wanted to hack Li Yunze to death, and then be hacked to death by Li Yunze's people.
They are brave but not brainless, and they work together very well after years of training.
The Mo Daoshou on both wings quickly surrounded him, cutting off the connection between Li Yunze and the guards behind him.
The strongest team directly stepped forward to fight.
Li Yunze, who was holding a knife in both hands, suddenly raised his Mo Dao and slashed at the other side almost at the same time as the Tianping Army who also raised his Mo Dao.
Li Yunze's speed was obviously faster, and while he was powerful and heavy, he also had superb knife skills. He chose the right angle to let the sharp blade pass by.
The sliding blade was lifted up, and with a crisp metal collision sound, it hit the Mo Dao that was being slashed by the Tianping Army next to it.
His strength was so great that he actually cut off his opponent's Mo Dao!
As if he was drawing an elegant arc circle with the Mo Dao, Li Yunze, who was almost one with the sword, moved around, exerting the power of the Mo Dao to the extreme amidst the many lights and shadows of swords.
A whole group of Tianping troops besieging him were almost all defeated by him alone.
As another impact came, the Mo Dao, which was forged in the modern world in Li Yunze's hand, was finally unable to withstand the successive heavy blows and broke.
The only two Mo Dao hands of the Tianping Army in front of them looked happy, and they swept over with Mo Dao from the left and the right in perfect coordination.
If this is hit, and the heavy armor cannot bear it, it will have to transform into a three-section stick.
At the critical moment, Li Yunze took a deep breath, gathered the majestic strength of his legs and suddenly jumped up.
The blade swept across the sole of his shoe, almost cutting him into a three-inch golden lotus.
Li Yunze, who was in mid-air, pulled out the Tang Hengdao with his backhand and slashed it down, knocking down another Tianping soldier again.
The last Tianping soldier in front of him still showed no fear or panic at all. He roared and raised the Mo Dao in his hand again.
Li Yunze nodded in admiration, and then quickly rushed past the sergeant. The sharp Tang Hengdao also passed by his neck, sparking a bloody arrow.
The professional soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were so powerful that they were definitely the pinnacle of this era.
It's a pity that they were not used to expand the territory, but were consumed in the ambitions of countless careerists.
Just like the bloody battle at Xiangji Temple, those who died in the battle were all the most elite frontier troops of the Tang Dynasty.
After all these frontier troops were lost, Tubo quickly took advantage of the situation and rose up without anyone being able to stop it.
At this time, Li Yunze's personal guards finally got rid of the Mo Dao soldiers of the Tianping Army who were entangled and blocking them, and they rushed over to surround Li Yunze.
Looking at the corpses along the way, the tooth soldiers looked at Li Yunze with full admiration.
Jiedu killed an entire team of elite Mo Dao soldiers by himself!
The great general Li Siye back then was nothing more than that.
Li Siye was extremely talented, and Li Yunze had accumulated experience through years of leveling up.
Of course, there are also some physical blessings given by the system.
With the defeat of Mo Dao's soldiers, the entire Tianping Army fell into a complete rout.
Looking up, the mountains and plains were filled with broken soldiers.
The Tianping Army was actually quite capable, but it was a pity that Li Yunze didn't give them a chance to show their strength at all.
They were attacked while on the march, with no formation, no armor, nothing, and a group of heavy armored cavalry who used the reverse bead curtain tactic. Anyone who came would have been in trouble.
"That's it."
Li Yunze, who pushed aside the tooth soldiers and came out, observed the battlefield and ordered his guards to spread out and deliver the order, "Capture the prisoners."
Because of the terrain of the battlefield, most of the defeated troops fled in two directions.
One is the county seat of Caoxian County, which is dozens of miles away, and the other is the shore of Binshui River, which is not too far away.
It was the spring flood, and the water level of the Bin River was rising. The only way to cross the river was to swim.
It's okay for those who know the nature of water. As long as you have strength and luck, you can actually cross the river.
But most people are either not good at water and wander around in a hurry on the shore.
Or maybe I was too weak after running for so long, so when I reached the river, I flopped a few times and then sank.
Some people sat paralyzed on the ground and cried loudly, some stripped naked and jumped into the water, some were spinning around in circles like headless flies, and some were looking for weapons and stomachs to fight for their lives.
The defeated Tianping Army was completely collapsed.
When Xuanwu's armored cavalry came to the river to recruit surrender, almost everyone was discouraged and dejectedly chose to be prisoners.
Many people looked aggrieved, unwilling to lose this battle!
Many people are even shouting, "If you have the ability, let's put on the armor and open up the battle array and have a good fight to see who is stronger!" '
Beginning to recruit and surrender meant no more killing, and the prisoners whose lives were guaranteed began to vent their dissatisfaction.
Without him, losing would be frustrating.
Until the armored cavalry pulled them one by one past the Mo Dao soldiers of the Tianping army who died in the battle, and said with arrogance, "This is all the military exploits of one of us, Li Jiedu!"
They are all men fighting on the battlefield, and no one will brag.
If you are really bragging, you will disgust your own people first before deceiving others.
Professional soldiers in the late Tang Dynasty really would not rely on nonsense to put money on their family's Jiedu, but it was common for them to directly kill Jiedu.
When the prisoners saw the most valiant Mo Dao team, almost all of them were destroyed in Li Yunze's hands, and every one of them stopped shouting and dissatisfied.
He is really capable!
The gathering work was carried out in an orderly manner, and many cavalrymen headed towards Caoxian in a leisurely manner.
When the defeated soldiers running over there are too tired to run, they can naturally be brought back with a rope.
The auxiliary soldiers began to bury pots to make rice, the prisoners began to dig pits and bury the corpses to avoid the plague, the army doctors began to treat the wounded, and some even took money and food to seek compensation from the local people.
Everyone was busy with their own affairs, and Li Yunze was naturally not idle either.
He flew the drone again to find Zhu Jin's troops dozens of miles away.
Unsurprisingly, Zhu Jin, who was completely unaware of his elder brother's defeat, was still marching towards Caoxian County with his Taining Army.
He took out the map, set square, pencil and compass and calculated on the map. Looking at the final result, Li Yunze was thoughtful.
"It seems, like, there might be a chance for another raid?"
Again, the communication capabilities of this era are too poor. Even though they are only dozens of miles apart, Zhu Jin has no idea about the situation on his brother's side.
However, Li Yunze was able to control the movements of the entire battlefield.
After packing his things, Li Yunze called his guards over and asked, "Has Zhu Xuan been caught?"
"Back to Jiedu, that guy ran very fast and fled all the way north to Puzhou. There are two groups of brothers chasing him, but I'm afraid I won't be able to catch him."
Hearing this, Li Yunze nodded.
The chance of successfully launching another raid has increased by one point.
Zhu Xuan set out from Yunzhou, Zhu Jin set out from Yanzhou, and their destinations were to meet in Caoxian.
From the map, Yunzhou, Yanzhou and Caoxian form a triangle, with Yanzhou and Yunzhou located to the south and north of Caoxian respectively.
In terms of distance, Yanzhou to Caoxian is a day or two slower than Yunzhou.
A mere day or two is not worth mentioning in ancient wars that are often measured in months.
But in the eyes of Li Yunze, who likes to fight blitzes, he sees an opportunity that he can seize.
"Seal the battlefield and stop everyone going south." After making up his mind, Li Yunze immediately began to make arrangements, "Send two groups of troops to capture Cao County and blockade the county to allow entry and exit."
After thinking about it, he asked again, "After dinner, the main force will quickly move towards Caoxian County and try to repair in Caoxian County at night. The prisoners will stay here for the time being and arrange for manpower to stay behind to take care of them. Then recruit a group of prisoners who are willing to do this." Let them put on those who are responsible for their effectiveness
The costumes of the Tianping Army, Jiawei, set off with them. "
Naturally, the guards did not dare to neglect and responded hurriedly.
"only!"
It is too difficult for other soldiers and horses to seize the fleeting fighter opportunity. It is not that they lack combat effectiveness, but that they lack the necessary mobility.
There is no high-speed rail these days that can help you quickly transport troops. The only high mobility you can count on is horses.
The Central Plains has always been short of horses, and there are rarely large-scale cavalry groups.
In the whole world, the only ones who can seize the opportunity and have the ability to carry out the attack are Li Yunze's armored cavalry group and Li Keyong's Shatuo Black Crow Army.
In the age of cold weapons, cavalry was really useful.
But the premise is that you have to command it properly to bring out its power.
After eating, leaving some soldiers and horses to guard the prisoners, Li Yunze personally led the main force to Caoxian County.
He was very generous and did not hesitate to spend money and food to get a large number of horses from Zhu Wen.
If a beggar version of the cavalry is established according to the standard of one man and one cavalry, tens of thousands of cavalry can be drawn out.
But Li Yunze insisted on the standard of three riders per person, and would rather reduce the total number than reduce the quality.
This arrangement showed efficiency at this time.
The charging horses had all their armor removed, and weapons and armor were placed on the backs of the pack horses.
The cavalrymen mounted their riding horses and dragged their war horses and pack horses on their way.
In this way, the horse's physical strength is fully guaranteed and restored.
If one man and one rider were to attack Zhu Xuan today, it would not be easy!
Caoxian County was only garrisoned by local regiments, so they chose Kaicheng to surrender early as they dared to stop the prestigious Xuanwu Army.
When it was getting dark, Li Yunze took the cavalry into the county seat. He took the time to eat, drink water, feed the horses, and then slept to restore his strength and energy.
Early the next morning, before the morning fog dissipated, Li Yunze got up early and flew a drone to investigate Zhu Jin's headquarters.
They had already had breakfast early and were breaking out of camp. The goal was to go to Caoxian County.
Obviously, Zhu Jin did not get the news of his brother's defeat.
Li Yunze slapped his thigh hard, "It's safe!"
