Liu Zongmin gave an order, and the five thousand sergeants behind him let out a burst of carnival. Their eyes were shining, and they rushed towards Xinye City like wolves and tigers.
Within half an hour, Liu Zongmin's troops arrived at Xinye City. Liu Zongmin looked at Xinye City from a distance and saw that the city gate was closed. Although there were many sergeants on the city wall waiting for each other, judging from the armor on their bodies, it could be judged that most of them were county soldiers.
Liu Zongmin sneered, "How can a bunch of rabble resist our heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty? Order the whole army to attack the city. After the city is broken, let's have a good time!"
"kill!"
The five thousand Tang troops also suffered a lot on the Shangyong Mountain Road. They were all miserable and in urgent need of venting. After listening to Liu Zongmin's words, their morale was greatly boosted, and they roared towards Xinye City while waving their rifles.
On Xinye City, the county magistrate Zhang Xun was wearing armor and stood calmly on the city wall. When he saw five thousand Tang troops rushing up with shouts, he suddenly raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and shouted loudly: "Kaicheng Door, herd the cattle!”
Rumble...
The city gate suddenly opened, and Liu Zongmin, who had led the army to charge wildly, was stunned on the spot. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of the Sui army in the city, but the next second his face suddenly turned pale, because He saw hundreds of crazy-looking oxen suddenly pouring out of the city gate.
Each cow's eyes were blood red, and there were knives stuck in its buttocks, bleeding profusely. Their tails were wrapped in thick oilcloth, which had been set on fire. There were also bright sharp knives tied to their two horns. Because of the stinging pain on their buttocks, the cattle lost their minds at this moment, roaring and charging forward wildly.
"Quick, run!"
Liu Zongmin was so frightened that he immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the back desperately. Tang's soldiers also reacted and fled in all directions, screaming. It's just that the speed of the scalper who had lost his mind was really terrible, but it took only a moment to catch up with the Tang army who was desperately fleeing.
Click-click——
How can flesh and blood resist the crazy beast? In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred Tang soldiers were knocked to the ground by the herd, their bodies were pierced by the sharp knives on the horns, and they turned into a puddle of flesh amid a loud and shattering sound that pierced their eardrums.
Flesh and blood were flying everywhere, but the cattle did not stop advancing. They were still rushing forward, the ground was shaking, and the mountains were shaking. From a distance, it looked like a huge fire dragon.
Bang bang bang! ! !
The cattle rushed wildly, and from time to time, Tang soldiers were knocked to the ground by the crazy cattle. They were trampled into human shapes before they could even scream. At first, the Tang army was able to retreat in an organized manner, but as the herd continued to penetrate deeper, patches of Tang army were crushed to the ground by the herd, and their flesh and blood bodies were mercilessly lifted into the air. In the end, the soldiers couldn't find the generals, and the generals couldn't find the soldiers. They all ran for their own lives, and they became a completely rabble.
This crazy attack lasted for nearly an hour, and the cattle gradually calmed down. Liu Zongmin gathered the defeated troops under the protection of several soldiers. After a careful count, he found that there were less than 700 people left, which made Liu Zongmin want to cry. tears.
The original information obtained by the Tang Army was that there were only about 3,000 county and state soldiers in Xinye City, so both Li Jiancheng and Liu Zongmin thought that this would be an offensive and defensive battle without any suspense, but they never expected that there were experts in the city. , set up a fire bull formation for him, causing his entire army to be almost annihilated!
Looking at the not-so-high city wall of Xinye City not far away, Liu Zongmin cursed bitterly: "Asshole, when the city is destroyed in the future, I will definitely kill the entire city's soldiers and civilians to avenge today's revenge!"
Boom...boom...
Before Liu Zongmin finished speaking, drums suddenly sounded loudly in the dense forests on both sides, and thousands of Sui troops came out of the woods.
"The thief shall die!"
The leader of the Sui army, carrying a pair of eight-edged bronze hammers, urged the blue and white horse to gallop out and directly attack Liu Zongmin. It was Lei Wanchun.
"It's true that a tiger has been bullied by a dog. How dare a county lieutenant dare to bully your Grandpa Liu!"
When Liu Zongmin saw Lei Wanchun dressed as a county lieutenant, he snorted disdainfully and charged forward with a sword on his horse, "Watch out, men, let's see how I kill this rat who doesn't know how to live or die!"
"die!"
Lei Wanchun was not a good-tempered person. After hearing Liu Zongmin's arrogant curses, he became furious, his eyes widened with anger, and he hit Liu Zongmin hard with the bronze hammer in his hand.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Lei Wanchun has entered a fighting state, his force is +4, his base force is 99, and his current force has increased to 103."
throat!
Accompanied by a dull and long metal bombardment, Liu Zongmin's sword was shaken so that the blades scattered, like ice cubes, shattering and flying. Liu Zongmin himself could not bear the powerful impact, and his whole body flew out and fell heavily on the ground. land.
Lei Wanchun rode his horse forward without stopping, and smashed the bronze hammer in his hand towards Liu Zongmin, who had just struggled to get up. With a bang, Liu Zongmin's helmet was hit. His skull was fractured, his forehead was bleeding, his pupils were dilated, and his whole body was paralyzed. Fall to the ground.
"Ding dong, Lei Wanchun has been detected to kill Liu Zongmin with a hammer. Liu Zongmin has a command of 83, a force of 86, an intelligence of 61, and a politics of 57. The host will be rewarded with 9 soul points, and the current total soul points have increased to 72."
"Lei Wanchun and Liu Zongmin? What's going on?" Yang Gao, who was handling government affairs in Jinling City, suddenly heard the system's prompt tone. He was stunned for a moment, and the pen in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. After thinking for a long time, Yang Gao suddenly stood up and said secretly: "No, the Tang army must have sneaked into Jingxiang from Shangyong Mountain Road, attacked Xinye, and tried to trap Yang Yanzhao's regiment in Nanyang."
After thinking about this, Yang Gao quickly shouted outside: "Come here, please pass on my oral instructions to Chang Yuchun. Now Jiangnan has been settled. In order to prevent Li Yuan from Guanlong from attacking, I ordered him to immediately lead his troops and horses to the shipowner. Jin rushed to Jingxiang, and quickly sent an eagle letter to Yang Yanzhao, asking him to be careful of the Tang army's sneak attack on Jingxiang from Shangyong Mountain Road."
"According to the order!" The eunuch outside the door heard the anxiety in Yang Gao's tone, responded, and left in a hurry.
Hearing the sound of the eunuch leaving, Yang Gao slowly sat down and said to himself: "Thanks to Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun just summoned this time, otherwise the situation would have been even more critical! I hope Zhang Xun can be like this Just like how we dealt with the Anlushan rebels in history, we withstood the offensive of Li Tang's army and held on until reinforcements arrived!"
On the other hand, near Xinye County, Liu Zongmin was killed by Lei Wanchun because of two moves. In addition, most of the hundreds of people under him were frightened by the cattle attack just now. At this moment, seeing their general die in battle, they still Without Lei Wanchun's orders, they all put down their weapons and surrendered.
In this battle, the Sui army only killed 21 people and injured 47 others, but it defeated 5,000 Tang troops and captured hundreds of people. This was the beginning of Zhang Xun's glorious life.
