The sudden speed of the Guiyi Army's cavalry completely exceeded Fengxiang Army's expectations.
From the time the cavalry issued the alarm, the Guiyi Army had not even had time to have a cup of tea during the journey of more than three miles, before they were in front of the Fengxiang Army.
At this moment, Fengxiang's army didn't even set up a crooked phalanx of spears, bows and crossbows.
In the chaos, the first one to arrive was Li Yanli, a member of the Gyeongju party. From the beginning, this boy was forced to follow, but now he has completely surrendered.
Zhang Sikong was fair and fair, and the food in the Guiyi army was very good, and trophies were distributed from time to time. Li Yanli even got a Hexi broken-eared horse and a set of cotton armor.
In addition, he had won battles all the way, so Li Yanli, like Yuanzhou Party Xiang Li Zhongchao, his father and his son, had long been committed to serving.
There were thousands of party cavalry roaring in. They were basically unarmored, but their arrow shafts and arrows had been strengthened.
And they don't need to wear armor, because they don't need to rush into the formation. All they have to do is disrupt the Fengxiang Army's formation and make them panic even more.
Zhang Zhao hit the head hard, regardless of whether the middle strategy was correct, because he could concentrate his strength to hit a little bit.
Thousands of unarmored rangers aimed at the Fengxiang Army vanguard and fired a dense rain of arrows, immediately turning the Fengxiang Army vanguard, which numbered only a thousand people, on their backs.
There is no way to wear armor on this march!
However, when someone wants their lives, these Fengxiang soldiers who dare to ask for rewards on the battlefield still have a few brushes.
The low-level officers such as the fire chief, captain, and captain tried their best to control the soldiers' emotions and sent the weaker ones forward to resist, while the core warriors quickly took out the iron armor from the mules, horses and auxiliary soldiers and put them on.
Siluke
Among them, dozens of sharpshooters let out ape-like roars, and hid behind the crowd and fired rapidly. As the Qingzhou Dangxiang charged, some people began to fall off their horses.
Hu Guang, who was following behind, saw that Li Yanli's troops could not move forward, so he became worried and charged forward with hundreds of cavalry under his command.
They were composed of Dadan Yueqi and Nestorian knights. They wore chain mail and had horses in their hands. They were much more powerful than the Qingzhou Dangxiang.
Immediately, Hu Guangbu rushed forward, first shot with his horse bow, and then kept wandering around the Fengxiang Army's formation, using the long horse spear in his hand to slap his head and face with a slap.
Of course, the forwards of the Fengxiang Army, who had gained some organization, also began to counterattack with spears, axes, etc.
After hundreds of people from Hu Guang's department fought back and forth for several times and walked around the formation, hundreds of people from Yuanzhou Party Xiang Li Zhongchao's department came again. They were also unarmored horse archers, and they came up and fired another round of bows and arrows.
At this time, the vanguard of the Fengxiang Army was a little overwhelmed. They only had a small number of people wearing armor, so even if the arrows shot by the horse bows were missed, they would still be very lethal to them.
After being attacked by several waves, even the officers could no longer hold back their formation. They dropped some baggage and corpses on the ground and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
At this time, Li Congzhao, who had just been helped off his horse, also ordered the Chinese army to come forward to help.
But it was too late. After the three groups of cavalry, which could be regarded as light cavalry, charged, the main event came.
The infantry commander of the front battalion of Fengxiang Army suddenly discovered that a cavalry team was trotting slowly in the distance.
From what he could see, although there were only a few hundred cavalrymen, they were well-armed and even had visors on their faces.
In their hands, they were all holding long horse spears that could be used to rush into battle. There were no bows or arrows at all. It was obvious that this was an armored cavalry specialized in charging into battle.
Moreover, what frightened the commander even more was that among the black armored cavalry, there were two extremely obvious figures.
A white horse in a silver robe is like Xue Youzhou, and looks like Zhao Zilong.
A horse riding a golden sweat horse with a hint of purple was riding on his crotch. He was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor. When the sun shone, he looked like a golden armored general, blinding people's eyes.
"Run quickly! Xue Baipao is here!"
"Isn't it true that the golden-armored god general has descended to the next world? We can't resist it!"
The Fengxiang soldiers and generals below are all veterans. Many of them have fought with Li Maozhen for three generations. Of course they know what kind of battles can be fought? What battle cannot be fought?
The battle in front of us must not be fought. While the armored cavalry on the opposite side are still jogging and their speed has not yet increased, it is only right to escape quickly.
Suddenly, thousands of people in the vanguard of Fengxiang Army roared in unison, turned around and ran away.
They roared and ran in order to pass the information to the people behind them as quickly as possible and avoid crowding each other while running.
Even the infantry commander quickly pulled the reins and began to charge, but in the opposite direction.
"Attack!"
When the enemy troops ran away, Zhang Zhao could point his horse forward coolly, and four hundred armored cavalrymen rushed over like a dragon out of the sea.
At this time, more than 2,000 people from the central army of Fengxiang Army had just come forward, but the forwards had already retreated.
He was still shouting nonsense words such as "Xue Baipao is here" and "Golden Armored Divine General is coming to the lower realm".
The Chinese army that was coming to assist Zhang Zhao and Murong Nobunaga took the lead and ran in before they could figure out the situation.
This kind of chaotic situation is best suited for armored cavalry to exert their power. If the heavy infantry forms a forest of spears, they may not be able to charge, but in this case, it shouldn't be too easy.
Yu Houtong, the commander of the Fengxiang Army who came to support him, shrank violently, and then he quickly realized that this was not something he could contend with manpower. He immediately and wisely turned his horse around and ran away.
"Failed! Defeated!"
"Xue Baipao is here!"
Calls like this began to boom, and all the Fengxiang soldiers lost the desire to resist.
As a result, more than 3,000 rebel cavalry chased the front of Fengxiang's army and beat them up, while behind there were only a few hundred people from Zhebu Jiashi, who simply intercepted them symbolically.
As soon as the large number of Fengxiang troops saw that the Guiyi army had not blocked the road, they retreated with greater confidence. Everyone threw away their helmets and armor, threw their baggage all over the ground, and fled towards Xingping County crying for their fathers and mothers.
Zhang Zhao also kept an eye on it, and asked Bai Congxin to drive some of the Fengxiang Army's cavalry west. As expected, these Fengxiang Army's cavalry were very good, so they turned around and headed west to Wugong County.
When these cavalrymen fled, they heard someone shouting, "Go into Xingping County and capture Li Congzhao alive. I will chop him up!" 'Yunyun.
Zhang Zhao watched these cavalry running away, then waved his hand, "Only some of them will pursue them, and the rest will clean up the battlefield. We are going to give Li Congzuo a little surprise."
. . . .
In Wugong County, Li Congyao was wondering. Not only did An Shenqi not reply to his letter, but his third brother Li Congzhao, who was stationed in Xingping County, also had no messenger for several days.
In confusion, several personal guards walked in hurriedly, guarding a general covered in blood.
"Your Majesty! That boy from Hexi rebelled! Mr. Sanlang fell into his plan of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. He lost thousands of soldiers and horses and retreated to Xingping County.
The people from Hexi also said that they would invade Xingping County and chop Lord Sanlang alive. Please send troops to rescue him quickly! "
Li Congxiao looked at this general who was covered in blood, and thought he was a member of Fengxiang's left army.
Just as he was about to ask more questions, a louder sound came from outside, and Shi, the chief of Prince Qi's palace, ran in rolling and crawling.
"Your Majesty! Hundreds of defeated troops are coming outside. They seem to be running from Xingping County. They say that Lord Sanlang was ambushed by the Hexi Army three miles west of Maweipo. He lost his troops and retreated to Xingping County. The Guiyi Army is attacking Meng. Attack Xingping County!"
'boom! Li Congyao slapped Hu's bed loudly, and he stood up suddenly.
"This is too much! He is a boy from Hexi. After pretending to be loyal to the country, he now attacks our Daqi troops and beats drums to gather the generals. I will personally bring an army to destroy this thief for the country!"
Thinking of this, maybe because he felt a little unsafe, Li Congyao said to his brother-in-law, Fengxiang Army's Zuo Ma Budu Yuhou Lu Duan.
"Silang quickly went to Yusu County, prepared a generous gift for Kang Fu, and then went to find the commander of the Yanei Mabu capital of the Xiongwu Army.
Just say that I am willing to write a memorial to show that he will stay behind for Xiongwu Jiedu, and ask him to quickly raise his troops to join me to conquer the Hexi boy! "
. . . .
Li Congsuo was contacting Kang Fu, while Zhang Zhao was already on the way and had chosen a battle location for Li Congsuo.
He now came to the famous Maweipo. There was a small town here that was originally a transit point for Fengxiang's army to store food. Zhang Zhao easily forced the surrender of more than a hundred soldiers here and seized hundreds of shi of food.
But at this moment, the attention of almost all the generals of the Guiyi Army was sucked away by a Buddhist hall in Maweipo.
An old soldier walked tremblingly in front of Zhang Zhao and others, "This official, the Great Sage and Ming Xiao Emperor, ordered Gao Lishi and others to strangle Yang Taizhen to death with a hemp rope in this Buddhist hall!"
"The green flowers swayed and stopped, more than a hundred miles west of the capital. The six armies did not send out but they had nothing to do. They died in front of the horses with their eyebrows turned. There was no one to take over the land. The green jades scratched their heads. The king hid his face and could not save him. , looking back at the blood and tears."
Zhang Zhao chanted softly, and the old army thought that these people came to pay homage to Yang Taizhen. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, frightening the old army half to death.
"What a wonderful person to die in front of me, what a wonderful person to look back at the blood and tears!"
The brothers and sisters Yang Taizhen and Yang Guozhong were arrogant and extravagant, framed the loyal and good, bullied the superiors and flattered the inferiors. The great sage, great dynasty, great filial piety and emperor only cared about their own enjoyment and did not care about the suffering of the people in the world.
This led to the two thieves of Anshi and Anshi to raise troops in Hebei and conspire to cause chaos. The world was in chaos and many people lost their lives.
Without this, how could Tubo capture Anxi and Hexi? How did we become such idiots?
It would be extremely miserable for them to die before they even know what they are doing, but how do they know the miserable state of the rest of us?
Just for this family, generations of us have died in battles far away, and we still can’t return home. Who knows the sufferings of people like us from Anxi, Hexi, and Longyou? "
As he spoke, I, Zhang Sikong, squeezed out a few tears, "Looking up to the sun, Chang'an was nowhere to be seen. But when we arrived in Chang'an, we discovered that those traitors named kings, who were actually bandits, had already ruined Chang'an to a great extent!
The sons fought bloody battles to quell the rebels. Not only did they not reward us, they also robbed us of the goods we deserved. This is intolerable, but what is intolerable! "
"Sikong! That Li Congzuo is the son of the traitor Li Maozhen. Their Fengxiang army forced the prime minister to death, killed kings, robbed the emperor, and looted Chang'an.
They are the rebels and thieves. They are bullying others too much. Please Sikong lead us to kill these thieves! "
Guo Tiance and Zhang Zhao were in the same mind, and knew that they were going to war with Li Congsuo. Zhang Zhao was trying to mobilize morale, so he quickly spoke out to help.
"Yes! I've traveled thousands of miles across mountains and ridges, but no one dares to beat me except someone. If they don't give me a reward and even rob someone of his belongings, then we'll go get it ourselves from Li Congyao!" "
Bai Congxin also shouted loudly, he was really angry at Fengxiang Army's move to seize Xingping County.
"That's right! There is a traitor in the imperial court, and I will eliminate the traitor for the imperial court!"
"Yes! Kill that treacherous official and traitor Li Congzuo!"
"Yes! Get rid of the traitors! Exterminate the traitors!"
Zhang Zhao nodded with satisfaction, his military morale was still good.
The Li Congsuo family has been in Fengxiang for decades, and the Fengxiang army is not a soft persimmon. It is really difficult to fight if they don't stir up the fire in the hearts of the soldiers!
