Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 838 Breakthrough
The soft grass absorbs the shock of the hooves.However, when fifteen hundred riders charged forward, it was still breathtaking, almost as if the blood and courage in the chest were all shaken away.

Liang Ren adjusted very quickly.An infantry formation on the right wing of the Chinese army moved forward quickly, in order to rush forward and outflank the cavalry.

Is there a tactical mobile outflanking cavalry by infantry on the battlefield?It is hard to say about other dynasties, but the late Tang Dynasty is not uncommon.

In the Battle of Youzhou, Li Siyuan faced the Khitan's superior cavalry with a small number of infantry, and first relied on bravery to charge forward continuously, and captured the enemy general and school alive, deterring the Khitan.Then the infantry was sent to maneuver on the battlefield, detouring behind the Khitan cavalry, 6 people launched an attack together, attacking back and forth, and smashed the enemy.

Ge Congzhou used [-] cavalry to challenge the [-] heavy cavalry in the front of the river, and then sent hundreds of people to maneuver on the battlefield, attacking from the flanks of the river bank, and hundreds of infantry launched a decisive charge against the superior cavalry. Capture Li Keyong's son Li Luoluo.

When infantry meets cavalry, most of the time it is necessary to form an formation, but formation is really not necessary.In the mid-Tang Dynasty, the Zhaoyi infantry dared to fight with the cavalry after the infantry broke up, and the cavalry was turned on their backs. This requires a high level of will, courage, courage, skill and training of the infantry, and it is necessary to fight against the brave infantry all the year round. to complete.

The cavalrymen of the Tianxiong Army didn't care about the threat from the flanks at all, they rushed forward without hesitation.

Liang Jun was fighting hard in the front line, and he was a little shaken when he saw this.

At the critical moment, a military academy ordered to draw a team and lead more than [-] people forward.Hundreds of scattered sergeants cruising outside the phalanx also abandoned their bows and crossbows, which were greatly reduced in power, drew their long swords and mo knives from their backs, and rushed forward without hesitation.

The grass was a bit slippery, and many cavalry fell off their horses during the charge.

The remaining people and horses were affected quickly, but they rushed forward bravely without fear.

"Pfft!" The knight was directly pierced by the oncoming long lance and fell off his horse.The war horse didn't stop at all, and rushed towards Liang Jun's infantry in inertia, directly knocking one of them into the air.

Some knights were knocked off their horses, rolled directly one by one, escaped the killing blow, then got up quickly, drew out the iron sword around their waists, and just about to fight, they slashed head-on, and their heads flew high.

Yiqi slid in through the enemy's gap, dragged his saber as he passed by, and the horse's side beam soldier's chest and abdomen were opened, and his intestines flowed all over the ground, screaming and crying.In vain, he gathered up his intestines and stuffed them into his stomach, but he knelt down on the ground and died without a sound.

Gao Youqing leaned on the horse's back, dodged the stabbing with the spear, then stood up suddenly, the horse picked it up, and a corpse was lifted high and thrown into the crowd of Liang soldiers behind.

The speed of the horse did not decrease at all, and the horse lance kept waving, like a god in the heavy rain, wherever it swept, it fell down.

This is something that light horse warfare weapons such as cavalry spears cannot do, and it is also beyond the reach of soft cavalry bows.Heavy horse fighting weapons are the heroism of a man on horseback. He was born for charging, not shooting arrows in circles to tickle his itch.

"Dead!" With another stab, the body of the Liangren Military Academy was raised high.

Gao Youqing turned the horse's head and walked sideways.

The war horse was panting heavily, foam was almost overflowing from the corners of its mouth, Gao Youqing carried the corpse and galloped for dozens of steps before throwing it towards the right-wing infantry of the Liang Renzhong Army who rushed towards him.

The playfulness on his face did not diminish at all, as if to say: "You can't do it, let Zhu Youyu fight me."

Liang Bing was furious, and the people in the rear quickened their pace and attacked forward.But the first wave of cavalry had already retreated behind Gao Youqing, and the enemy soldiers resisted resolutely, and they would not come hard when their horse speed was greatly reduced.

Soon, the second wave of [-] cavalry came one after another, and the scattered troops of Liang Jun who were blocking them were completely rushed away, but the people behind were already ready.During the charge of the five hundred cavalry, they failed and returned after discarding a large number of dead horses and horses.The third wave tried to charge forward, but Liang Bing from the right wing of the Chinese army had already come up, so they could only brake suddenly, and the men and horses kept falling to the ground.

This wave of cavalry charges failed without accident.

But they still caused a lot of chaos, causing Liang Jun to be in a hurry, and he drew a large number of people to stop them.

The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army had already exerted tremendous pressure on them, and they felt as if they could hardly bear it anymore.The reason why he didn't collapse was that he was holding on with a single breath in his heart, and he was numbly and mechanically exchanging lives with Xia Bing with skillful skills.At this time, a large number of people were transferred, and the balance was broken. Xia Bing's morale was greatly boosted, and he immediately overwhelmed them.

"The thieves' momentum has fallen, follow me!" Li Lin roared, and rushed up with one step, holding knives in both hands, and slashed down with all his might.

The bandit soldier on the opposite side was very difficult to deal with. He looked quite old. When he saw Li Lin approaching, he didn't panic at all. He easily dodged the chopping Mo Dao, and then went forward instead of retreating, crashing into Li Lin's arms. Pulling out the horizontal knife at his waist, he wiped it horizontally.

"Pfft!" He was shot in the stomach, and the broken armor could not provide any protection.

After kneeling on the ground regretfully, he watched more and more Xia Bing pass him and kill towards the rear.

He was kicked to the ground and lay on his back.The rainwater got in through the gaps of the nail leaves, and the three wounds on the shoulder, chest, and abdomen all felt a little stinging.Blood also flowed all over the ground, and consciousness kept leaving him.

He almost killed the thief just now, and he even saw the surprise and regret in the opponent's eyes.

"Enlisted in the army at fifteen, and returned at eighty. I'm not yet forty, but I can do nothing but kill people. It's good to be freed like this..."

Lightning and thunder rumbled down, and the rain covered the sky, washing away the inexhaustible blood on the battlefield.

The 140-year-old feudal separatist regime mass-produced elite warriors exhausted their courage, martial arts, and wisdom, burning their lives and causing mutual harm.

In the world, a large number of warriors who dared to fight have disappeared, no matter Xia or Liang.

"The army of thieves is defeated!" Zhao Guangfeng let out a long sigh of relief, and it was only then that he came back to his senses.

"If you take that tone back, the thief will be like that." Chen Cheng nodded and said.

When the two armies are fighting, before one side collapses, the difference in casualties between them will not be too large. The real casualties always occur during the pursuit.

Liang Jun's front line was already in disarray, and there were successive defeats.

They did not run around, but ran backward along the gaps between the various formations of the Chinese army, maintaining discipline amidst the panic.

At this time, it is time for the Chinese army to step up.

But what is surprising is that Liang Renzhong's army made an unusual move: the commander-in-chief moved forward, and a full 2000 people were waiting in line, marching in front of the wall.However, the left wing and the rear of the Chinese army began to turn and retreat towards the camp gate.

"The front battle is unfavorable, but the army will lose." This sentence suddenly appeared in Zhao Guangfeng's mind.

No, this is no longer a matter of "retirement", it is a matter of tail-docking to survive.Zhu Youyu was brave enough to break the queen himself.

"Quan Zhong has such a son, which is really enviable." Shao Shude sighed.

He remembered that Zhu Youyu had always been embarrassed in history. He was raised by his uncle Zhu Quanyu, and he had no family relationship with Zhu Quanzhong.Although he was proficient in martial arts, he shot and killed the thieves who insulted them with an arrow in Huazhou City, and led troops to fight many times, but he was full of suspicion and people kept making small reports.If it wasn't for Zhang Hui's reconciliation and repeated intercession, he might have died long ago.

Of course he died young in the end.Feeling depressed, he led his troops to Guanzhong and died of illness on the way.

After the death of this son, Quan Zhong realized that the rest of his own sons were useless, so much so that he planned to let his adopted son Zhu Youwen take over the big position. I don't know if he regretted it.

At this moment, Zhu Youyu didn't have the heart to think about so many messy things.

The front formation has completely collapsed and disappeared without a trace.There were two thousand soldiers beside him, inspired by his example, they tried their best to move forward and fight to the death.

Xia Jun had already appeared on the opposite side.

Their armor was torn and bloodstained.

Holding the long lance tightly in his hand, he also paid attention to maintaining a line from left to right as he moved forward.

It was raining heavily and the mud was soft.As he walked, some people fell down, some never got up again, and some staggered, but the left and right Paoze held his hands and moved forward together.

Jia Ye clanged, breathed heavily, and looked exhausted, but there was an irresistible aura.

Once upon a time, the Changzhi Army swept through the towns like this.

There was no screaming, both sides seemed to be conserving energy and using it as much as possible for the fight.

Stabbing each other with guns and spears, hacking with knives and axes, the two thousand long straight sergeants are like a stubborn stone in front of the flood, which will be washed away at any time.

Under the protection of his own soldiers, Zhu Youyu fought bravely and exhausted all his life's knowledge. Every time the long spear stabbed, he killed one person.

"My son, retreat quickly, you can't stop it!" The 2000 people were killed and couldn't stand, and they retreated step by step.

In the front right, the Xia army had already attacked, and the right wing of the Chinese army almost collapsed before retreating.

On the left front, the Xia army brigade is speeding up, trying to outflank their broken army.

Zhu Youyu stabbed out with a lance, piercing the abdomen of Xia Bing opposite, the man screamed and fell to the ground, holding the lance tightly with both hands.

"Let's go, son, it's still too late!" The general greeted, some of the soldiers stopped and resisted, and some of them retreated with Zhu Youyu.

Zhu Youyu sighed, wiped the rainwater off his face, and retreated hastily.

It was raining heavily and the ground was muddy.

Most of the 7000 people in the rear of the retreat were Tutuan peasants. At this time, the army was already defeated, and everyone rushed to the gate of the camp.

The 2000 people in the front line, the 2000 people on the right wing of the Chinese army, and the [-] people in the main part of the Chinese army are all veterans who have been fighting for many years, and they are all lost now.

Xia Jun behind him quickened his pace, but still maintained his formation, not giving him any chance to fight back.

They silently chased after the rout soldiers, stabbed out the long spears when they encountered them, and then moved on.Going round and round like this, killing people efficiently and ruthlessly.

Zhu Youyu staggered and rushed into the gate of the camp.

The defenders couldn't wait to lift the trench bridge, and the camp gate was closed tightly, allowing the sergeants who hadn't withdrawn in time to curse and cry outside.

Everyone looked at Zhu Youyu with guilty eyes.

He retreated before engaging in battle. Although he had obeyed the military order, he was still ashamed to withdraw in such a mess.

Zhu Youyu found a bed and sat down, panting like a cow and didn't want to talk.
