Li Jingda was a little hesitant because he knew the significance of these tens of thousands of troops to the entire Southern Tang court.
Of course Li Jinquan could run away, and to put it bluntly, he could even surrender on the spot without running away.
Because the Tang Dynasty court was not his family property, but Li Jingda had a share!
"Oh! You won't leave! I have to leave!"
As soon as Li Jinquan looked at Bian Hao, who was trying to dissuade him, and Li Jingda, who looked hesitant, he knew what they were thinking.
Immediately, I, Marshal Li Dajie, stopped trying to persuade me. Ten thousand cavalry rushed towards me. What role could these tens of thousands of state and county soldiers and rural soldiers who were still waiting for a meal play without any armor?
Li Jinquan turned around and ran away, but Bian Hao was still cheering Li Jingda up.
The camp of the Southern Tang Army was arranged in a ¤ shape. The circle was the camp, and some defensive sentry towers and stone villages protruded around the camp.
The main camp of the Chinese army is in the middle of the circle, backed by mountains and facing water. There are a large number of horses and trenches outside the camp.
If the incoming enemy wants to raid the Chinese army camp, they can only follow the prepared path.
In this way, the elite soldiers of the big camp can take the opportunity to block it, and the officers in various camps can also mobilize elite soldiers to contain it.
As long as the camp can withstand it, the enemy that is about to attack will become stuffed buns.
Of course, this is only the most ideal situation. To achieve this goal, the military morale needs to be stable and someone needs to be calm and calm.
So after Bian Hao stabilized Li Jingda, he quickly deployed the main force of the Forbidden Army and the Jiankang Army to prepare for defense. However, it was only after he went out that he realized that Li Jinquan's opinion was correct.
In fact, it has been slower since the smoke rose, because the soldiers on the beacon fire enemy platform a few miles away from the main camp had not received the smoke in the distance before.
So when Murong Nobunaga and more than 6,000 cavalry rushed over, they were stunned for a moment. After all, they were not sure whether it was an enemy attack.
Then the fire chief of the beacon tower sent a signal to ask for instructions but received no response. He hesitated again before taking the risk of lighting the beacon smoke.
After this back and forth, with the speed of Murong Xinchang Hexi Tianma, he had basically rushed to the vicinity of the Southern Tang Army camp.
Even if the nation-state armies of later generations were attacked like this, they would be in chaos. It would be difficult to organize a defense in a short time, and the Southern Tang Army had no hope.
As for the horses and trenches that Bian Hao hoped to block, they were completely useless.
Because those at the front were Dundup's four hundred spear throwers. Although they were riding war horses, they were here to do dirty work.
As soon as they encountered Juma, hundreds of throwing spears would immediately fly out. After scattering the Southern Tang Army behind Juma, they would move away from Juma.
Of course, there are four hundred spear throwers who can't be dealt with. At this time, hundreds of hussars will dismount. They are wearing light armor and holding divine arm bows. How can they resist the Southern Tang Army that rushes over in a hurry.
Trenches were even less of a problem, because Southern Tang did not have that much manpower to dig trenches everywhere.
They can't dig everywhere. After all, their own people have to be dispatched, and they also have to transport food, grass and baggage in the camp. If they dig everywhere, they will be a trap for themselves.
More importantly, their trenches were dug too narrow, and Hao here and even the entire Southern Tang Army had insufficient experience in dealing with cavalry.
Soldiers wearing dozens of kilograms of armor would definitely not be able to jump over these trenches they dug, and neither would ordinary war horses.
But the Hexi Pegasus, the descendants of these broken-eared horses and sweat-blooded horses, were raised at the Xiedan Army Horse Farm, the land of heaven. According to Zhang Zhao's requirements, the Pegasus was strictly selected using future generations' methods and a strict mating system.
Even if he is carrying a weight of 1,780 kilograms, he can still jump while charging rapidly.
Murong Nobunaga's Xueli Yanchen was one of the best. As soon as the big boy lifted the reins, Xueli Yanchen neighed excitedly, leaped up like a horse in the clouds, easily crossed the ditch, and slammed into the Southern Tang army. .
Then Murong Nobunaga struck the horse from left to right with his hand, and immediately created a gap.
Immediately afterwards, more war horses galloped across the ditch, and the Southern Tang Army was frightened.
Marquis Yu, the capital of Jiankang Army, screamed, threw away the sword and shield in his hand, turned around and ran away, throwing away all the extra things on his body as he ran.
Murong Nobunaga chased these defeated troops straight to the camp.
The extremely experienced soldiers of the Zuoyu Forest Guards, in tacit agreement, continued to create chaos with their horned crossbows and ghostly roars.
The screams of the Southern Tang Army seemed to be contagious. Every time they passed a camp, they could bring a considerable number of friendly troops to collapse.
At the same time, the four hundred spear throwers led by Dundup immediately turned into arsonists after moving the Juma away.
It was approaching summer, and the tents and military camps were basically made of wood. In addition, a sudden southeasterly wind blew the fire even more fiercely.
Fireworks were going up everywhere, as if the Zhou Kingdom's cavalry had come out from all directions.
.
.
Bian Bodhisattva tried his best and finally gathered thousands of people at the gate of the camp.
Although there were not many people, the entrance to the camp was well equipped with ditches to keep horses out, and there were many roadblocks around it, so it looked like it was capable of fighting.
But he immediately thought wrong, because what he had to face was not the impact of Zhou's cavalry, but the overwhelming troops retreating from all directions.
These frightened soldiers rushed to the safest place in their hearts, the Chinese army camp. In order to enter the camp, they moved away all roadblocks and horses.
Bian Hao had no choice but to order his soldiers to shoot arrows at these defeated soldiers.
The defeated soldiers originally wanted to go to the Chinese army camp to seek protection, but what greeted them was that their own arrows were missing, and a large number of them fell immediately.
These soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were crying and cursing. Many of them knew soldiers who fired arrows like this. Although they retreated, the howling and cursing was deeply imprinted in the hearts of these soldiers who fired arrows. For a moment, people's hearts were floating.
Bian Hao was about to say a few words to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, but just when their soldiers were shaken and had just finished shooting several waves of arrows, a large number of Zhou archers suddenly appeared from the crowd.
It turned out that they had already been mixed in the crowd, a group of thirty or fifty people. Seeing that the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were restless, Zhang Xiaobiao suddenly roared, and all the soldiers took out their divine arm bows and rushed toward the Southern Tang army to cover them.
The God's Arm Bow is fast to string, much more powerful than bows and arrows, and has good critical accuracy. Under dense coverage, the Southern Tang Army immediately suffered heavy casualties.
Especially the spearmen who had just used their spears to drive away the defeated troops. They had no protection and fell in large numbers immediately.
Without waiting for Bian Hao's order, the officers hurriedly ordered the spearmen to retreat, and the swordsmen and shieldmen stepped forward to cover.
But at the moment when the Southern Tang Army was changing ranks, the sound of horse hoofbeats rang loudly. Murong Nobunaga and Gao Huaide arrived with the most elite six hundred cavalry.
At this moment, the spearman had just retracted, and the sword and shield hand came forward. Without the bright spear forest, the war horse was not afraid at all, and immediately ran into it.
The sword and shield players in the front row were really miserable. The shields obscured their sight. Many of them didn't realize that the enemy armored cavalry had rushed in until they were knocked away by their horses.
As one of the most elite infantry units in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Divine Guards Army and the Jiankang Army put up the final resistance. The rear row of crossbowmen fired a wave of arrows.
If the crossbow arrows were better, they would finally have good lethality, but I would be sorry if there were more bows and arrows.
Murong Nobunaga, wearing a white helmet and white armor, a white horse and a silver spear, was hit by more than ten arrows in a row, but all of them were hung outside the cloth-covered iron armor, and his movements were not damaged at all.
A cunning crossbowman saw that the bow and arrow could not break the armor, so he took out his crossbow and shot.
Unexpectedly, Murong Nobunaga had seen him a long time ago. He was charging at the front on the battlefield and never suffered any serious injuries. He relied on his battlefield intuition.
At the critical moment, Murong Xin's long tongue roared like spring thunder, and the long spear in his hand came out in response.
The crossbowman was about to raise the crossbow, but when he was twenty or thirty steps away, he was rushed to him like a meteor and was nailed to the ground.
Then the big man took out two cooked copper maces on the side of the horse, spurred the horse forward, and squeezed into the crossbowmen. The dancing of the two maces left an afterimage, and only the blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Many of the Southern Tang crossbowmen still had their crossbows in their hands, unable to fight back at all. Suddenly, their heads were broken and their heads flew red and white, or their limbs were broken.
Murong Nobunaga was riding alone in the Southern Tang Army. It was like entering a deserted land. The surrounding Southern Tang Army were like this murderous god and began to run away. No one dared to resist.
At the same time, more Zhou cavalry broke through the melee formation and broke into the crossbowmen.
The Southern Tang Army could not bear the pressure at all, and the landslide suddenly occurred. Thousands of people screamed in fear and gave up resistance in a few breaths.
However, they were not as fast as Bian Hao. As soon as Bian Bodhisattva saw Murong Baipao with white helmet and white armor rushing into the hand of the crossbow, he immediately knew that it was over. He did not stop for a moment and immediately took several The henchman ran back to the camp.
At this time, Li Jingda was anxiously waiting for the news. When he saw Bian Hao running back, before he even opened his mouth to ask, Bian Hao immediately asked the guards to pick up Li Jingda and quickly ran south to the river.
I hope Li Jinquan's Zhenguo Army hasn't left yet, otherwise the fun will be great.
However, they didn't run far when they bumped into a disgraced Li Jinquan who was running towards the camp.
Li Jinquan looked at Li Jingda and Bian Hao covered in dust, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
Li Jingda and Bian Hao were even more stunned when they saw Li Jinquan, who was covered in blood and seemed to have just escaped from death.
"I regret not listening to the words of the Taiwei. That Murong Baipao is indeed unparalleled in bravery and can't resist him at all!"
Li Jingda was confused. He thought Li Jinquan had come back to help him.
Li Jinquan's mouth was filled with bitterness. He smacked his mouth twice and said dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, it was of no use to listen to XX. Zhao Kuangyin from Yizheng City came out and killed him. The Zhenjun Navy couldn't resist and collapsed. Now only the three or two hundred people around XX are left."
When Li Jingda heard this, he almost burst into tears, "The Zhenjun army is so sharp, and there are six thousand people, which is twice as many as the Zhou cavalry in Yizheng City!"
Li Jinquan shook his head and shouted: "What's the use? A certain subordinate is having a meal. He has no armor and no weapons in his hands. The Zhou people's cavalry will arrive in an instant and they can't resist at all."
Li Jingda cried desperately, and now he finally felt the fear of death.
The King of the Southern Tang Dynasty grabbed Li Jinquan's hand and asked with his last hope: "Is there any other good plan for the Lieutenant?"
He was afraid that Li Jinquan would misunderstand his meaning, so he immediately said more bluntly, "You must keep this useful life!"
Li Jinquan understood immediately. He pointed to the southwest and said, "There is a hill there. We will escort the king there. These few hundred people are enough to isolate the defeated army. If the Zhou generals come, there must be someone familiar with them." You can save your life!"
As expected, he is worthy of being a fifth-generation tooth soldier who was born in Daibei Laoyouzi. He won many battles and suffered a lot in defeats. How to save his life on the battlefield was a matter of Menqing.
What they fear most now is not Murong Nobunaga, because when Murong Nobunaga comes, he will definitely choose to capture them alive.
What I'm afraid of now is the small soldiers. These people don't know their identities. If they come up and stab them to death, then they steal their clothes, gold and silver, and chop off their heads to collect the reward, then they will die unjustly.
Just do it, Li Quanjin and Bian Hao, with three to four hundred people, protected Li Jingda and headed for the hill.
At this moment, the camp outside Yizheng City where the Southern Tang's 20,000 main force, 40,000 state and county soldiers and rural soldiers, and 30,000 to 40,000 civilians were located, was already a sea of fire.
The men and horses trampled them and jumped into the river to death, far more than those killed by Zhou's cavalry. The whole army had collapsed.
