"Is Tian Luo ready?"
"Back to the general, our four thousand elite troops have been divided into four groups and launched a charge against the Qin army's tent on the high ground. The general of the army, Mao Dang, must be there!"
"Okay, first chop off Mao Dang's head to pay tribute to the soldiers and civilians who drowned in the flood, and then block the road from Yongqiu to Xiangyi to cover the evacuation of our army..."
Xu Zongwen stood on his horse, and military orders were issued one after another. The ordering soldiers immediately clapped their horses and left after receiving the order.
Xu Zongwen waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him followed him and launched a charge. This time, his goal was to take advantage of the Qin army's massive attack on Yongqiu and the large number of Mao Dang's followers to attack Mao Dang's camp and kill this man. The commander-in-chief of the 100,000-strong coalition army left the 100,000-strong coalition army leaderless in order to break the siege of Yongqiu!
"Kill me!"
"Whoever takes the hair for his head will be rewarded with a reward of 100,000 yuan!"
When the Jin troops who followed Xu Zongwen's charge heard about the generous reward, they all howled excitedly, brandished the steel knives in their hands, prepared their sleeve crossbows, and beat the horses desperately.
Xu Zongwen's eyes flashed. This time he wanted to completely annihilate all the Qin army's active forces in the Central Plains at once, not only to protect the safety of Luoyang, but also for the sake of the Jin army's Northern Expedition.
"Brother Auxiliary Machine, if the general can kill Mao Dang this time, the 100,000 Qin army will collapse immediately. In addition, the news that Xiaohuang was breached has become known to everyone. The Qin army's defeated troops are likely to flee. Huang returned to the direction, where Zhang Gui's thousand men were waiting for them day and night, the Qin army was in danger!"
Xi Jian looked at Xu Zongwen who was walking away and a group of Jin army elite cavalry who were as fierce as tigers and wolves, and analyzed it carefully.
Pei Qing, who was guarded by dozens of soldiers, also commented: "The general has foresight. Even if Mao Dang captures Yongqiu City, what use is a city that has been destroyed by floods? What's more, Mao Dang's army is gone. With too few guards around him, he is looking for death!"
"This war was actually over before it even started. When the general broke through Luoyang City and cut off Mao Dang's retreat, and later attacked Xiaohuang and burned the food and fodder of the Qin army, Mao Dang was destined to be defeated! Mao Dang has always used water attacks as his strategy. The last killing weapon, how can he, who has only one way to go, be the opponent of a general who is resourceful and proficient in strategy?"
"That's right!"
"Mao Dang wanted to learn from Han Xin and fight his last, but he didn't know that it was the general who truly understood Han Xin's military tactics. Mao Dang's road became narrower and narrower, but the general's road became wider and brighter. A general treats his people in his own way. It seems that our two plans for the general are redundant."
While Pei Qing and Xi Jian were discussing Zhenghuan, Xu Zongwen had already taken advantage of the situation and led his troops into the defenseless Maodang camp.
Xu Zongwen's elite cavalry used sleeve crossbows to kill the defenders in front of the camp, and then rushed into the Qin camp with a powerful impact, charging left and right, scattering thousands of Qin troops' defensive formations into chaos, and sweeping away fallen leaves with the autumn wind. Harvesting the Qin army that is gradually declining...
"General, it's not good! Many Jin troops have been killed from nowhere. The camp can no longer be defended. General, retreat quickly!" A Qin soldier stood in front of Mao Dang with trembling legs to report the military situation. He was quickly broken into Xu Zongwen who entered the military tent killed him personally!
When Mao Dang heard the noise outside, he already knew that his life was in danger, so he was wiping his sword. When Xu Zongwen came in, he was about to commit suicide.
"ah!"
"Pfft!" Just when Mao Dang was about to raise his sword to commit suicide, Xu Zongwen took out the sleeve crossbow handed to him by his subordinate and fired an arrow at Mao Dang's chest, hitting Mao Dang's heart!
"Clang." With a sound, Mao Dang felt pain, let go of the sword in his hand, covered his chest, and fell down forever with a smile and unwillingness!
Perhaps it was because Xu Zongwen saved him from the sword blow, or perhaps Mao Dang had already expected that such a day would come to him. Being accustomed to seeing life and death, he did not die with eyes closed, but left with a horse-hide corpse and the desire to die on the battlefield.
"Cut off his head, send it to Jiankang, and give his body a good burial."
Xu Zongwen shook his head, and then he realized that Mao Dang had not thought about resisting at all, but just wanted to commit suicide. Because Xu Zongwen was afraid that Mao Dang was playing tricks, he shot Mao Dang himself for the sake of long nights and long dreams.
If you can do it, let's keep your mouth shut.
As a modern time traveler, Xu Zongwen knew that in movies, TV dramas and novels, usually if the protagonist said one more word to the villain, it would cause various hidden dangers and bring a series of troubles. He did not want this.
"Hurry up and follow me to rescue the friendly troops leaving the city. Don't delay the military situation." Xu Zongwen took away Mao Dang's head, and then led his fine cavalry to gallop in the direction from Yongqiu to Xiangyi.
In Yongqiu City, which was already flooded, waves hit one after another from time to time. The soldiers and civilians who had just climbed onto the rafts and high places were unable to dodge. Unfortunately, they all fell into the water, leaving nothing but splashes of water.
The poultry raised by the common people were flapping and squawking in the water, and people who were relatively good at water were crying for help. The Qin army rode on rafts and used bows, crossbows, swords and guns to kill the Qin army and the people of Yongqiu. There were cries for mercy and help everywhere, and the entire Yongqiu city immediately became a huge tomb!
Huan Yi, Xie Yan and others who had just escaped from Yongqiu City in panic were fighting with the pursuing Qin army outside the city. Seeing more and more Qin troops around them, they were all ready to commit suicide and die for their country. Suddenly There were bursts of sound of arrows being fired.
"It's reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!"
Xu Zongwen's army, which had changed into Jin army uniforms, came on horseback and attacked the Qin army that surrounded Huan Yi and Xie Yan. In the midst of the lightning and flint, Xu Zongwen charged back and forth several times and killed nearly two soldiers. Thousands of Qin troops repelled the pursuing Qin army.
"I am General Xu Xiao!" Xu Zongwen held the reins tightly with both hands and rode his horse, looking around at the Beifu soldiers who had just escaped from danger.
Xie Yan and Liu Laozhi saw Xu Zongwen, and they hurried forward to say hello. Huan Yi heard Xu Zongwen's cry and came up to say a few words.
"Thank you so much, General Xu, for saving me this time. Without him, we would have been dead!" Xie Yan's long hair was messy, and the middle of his thighs were worn out due to the bumps on the horse. He was shocked after having just experienced life and death. Terrified, he was breathing heavily.
Huan Yi cupped his hands and said, "Today, I, Huan Yi, owe General Xu a favor. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask for it!"
"Thank you, General!"
Liu Laozhi lowered his head, feeling guilty in his heart. He was originally a little jealous of Xu Zongwen's repeated military exploits, but now that he was rescued, he owed a huge favor. Look at the fact that he only had thousands of men under his command, but he could From the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, they came and went like the wind, advancing and retreating freely!
There's a world of difference, I'm not as good as a human being!
"General, let's retreat quickly! Mao Dang's people are at the back door and they will definitely come after us!"
"Generals, don't worry, Mao Dang has been killed by me, and the head is here!" Xu Zongwen ordered Zhang San to throw the head, and everyone relaxed their vigilance.
Another head!
Huan Yi remembered that in the Battle of Feishui, Xu Zongwen took the head of Fu Rong, Duke of Yangping, and went all the way to the top. Now he took the head of Mao Dang, the general of the Zhenjun Army. It was really like the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead!
