Chapter 994: Just be responsible for cleaning up
The wind stomped with snow particles dancing in the air, hitting the gray armor, making rustling sounds. The cavalry covered their faces, shattered their horses, and advanced forward in the wind and snow.
It's very cold.
But the blood is very hot.
Xiang Ju ran at the forefront, along the way, their appearance caused too much fear, but they did not encounter any obstacles. Everything was as expected by the eldest lady. The outer shell of Li Ze's under his command was extremely hard and almost indestructible, but the inner part was the softest place. Now, you only need to poke it gently to make it messy.
He raised his head excitedly and wanted to raise his head and hiss. After today, his name to someone will definitely appear in history books and be famous in history.
Historical saying: On a certain day of a certain year, a general killed the rebellious prime minister Li Ze and Zhenzhou City, and drove the tide of the Tang Dynasty to fall.
The roar was a roar, but the passionate roar just now came out, just like a duck that was strangled to his neck, and a sudden stop.
A black-armored cavalry was watching them on the undulating hills in the distance.
A Tang cavalry was not enough to make Xiang Ju feel at a loss, but the big flag next to the knight made a deafening sound of thunder sounded above his head.
It was a wolf head with blood beating on the corner of his mouth and showing ferocious fangs.
Chengde Wolf Rider!
The horse niggled the reins, and then stopped after running dozens of steps.
He looked at the wolf flag fluttering in the wind in the distance in shock and angrily, but there was only one question in his mind: Why is the Chengde wolf cavalry here? Are they not in Luoyang?
On the hill, Cheng Yong stretched out his hand, pulled up the wolf flag on the ground, raised it high, waved it left and right, and then, behind him, one war horse after another appeared in Xiang Ju's vision.
There are no more and no less at the front, exactly one hundred of them.
Cheng Yong rode his horse slowly downhill, and hundreds of Chengde wolf riders walked in turn. During the downhill process, a conical charge lineup had been formed.
And behind them, more cavalrymen appeared one by one, and the number would definitely not be less than two thousand cavalry.
The Chengde Wolf Cavalry accelerated slightly, but the Tang cavalry behind them scattered into a huge arc, faintly surrounding the group of people.
Obviously, they believed that the Xiang cavalry on the opposite side was even more vulnerable under the impact of the Chengde Wolf Cavalry. Their main task was to intercept the Xiang cavalry that dispersed at that time.
Cheng Yong closed the helmet's armor with a snap and raised the sabre in his hand.
Following his movements, ninety-nine wolf cavalry raised the saber to the shiny saber in their hands.
There was no shout, only a hundred horses with almost uniform hooves rumbling in the wind and snow.
Xiang Yu looked at the Chengde wolf riding rushing towards him in despair.
If his subordinates don’t know the power of this cavalry, then he knows it clearly. In the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Liang Kingdom that had just ended, the Chengde Wolf Cavalry beat Xu Fu’s thousand thunder cavalry, and the result was that the thousand thunder cavalry in the pseudo-liang were wiped out.
His only hope now is that most of the people in this Chengde Wolf Rider have just been replaced, and their strength must be worse than the original veteran, or this is his only chance.
But what can be done?
There shouldn't be a Tang cavalry of this size here.
The current towns and states should be extremely empty.
If a Tang army can appear, it is very likely that the second and third branches will appear.
If so, what hope will they have for success?
Even if they can escape from the Chengde Langqi's men, how many days can they survive in Zhenzhou, the core area ruled by Li Ze?
However, reality could no longer allow him to think about it. He had no other choice except to raise the war horse in his hand and rush forward.
The Chengde Wolf Cavalry was like a burning red tong, and easily stabbed into the Xiang cavalry that rushed in front of him.
Before the old Xiang Ju could lift the knife to the highest point, a cold light surged in front of him. Cheng Yong slashed his head and half of his body accurately chopped it down.
Two horses intertwined, and Cheng Yong had become a bloody man.
The hundreds of slashing sabers were like a rolling knife wheel, cutting melons and vegetables to cut off the Xiang cavalry who were blocking their way forward.
These Xiang soldiers were not afraid of death because they had regarded themselves as a dead person, so even when facing the Chengde Wolf Cavalry, they still rushed up bravely.
But the gap in strength and huge differences in equipment will never be made up for by courage.
This is just like in later generations, countless brave soldiers rode on war horses and attacked their opponents with Maxim machine guns. Apart from throwing down corpses and blood all over the ground, they could not make any changes to the actual results.
With a charge, more than two thousand Xiang's cavalry were cut into two, and on the road where the Chengde Wolf Cavalry rushed, there were fragmented corpses of people and horses everywhere.
No one can have a complete body if he dies.
The Chengde Wolf Cavalry split into two, each splitting out fifty cavalry, and after turning a small arc to the left and right sides, they turned around and formed two small attacking sagittal lineups, which once again launched an attack on the opponent.
The second attack finally completely disintegrated the Xiang cavalry.
Not afraid of death is one thing.
What's going on is another matter.
Especially when you find that no matter how brave you are, you cannot change the ending, your courage will finally disappear.
Rush outward, avoid the Chengde Wolf Cavalry, attack the cavalry surrounding them, or escape a way out.
As for other things, who has the time to think about it?
When night fell, the battle finally came to an end.
None of the more than 2,000 Xiang cavalry survived. Even those cavalry who were injured and not yet dead were killed mercilessly by the Tang army who searched the battlefield.
This is not a serious battlefield, it is a suppression of rebellion. This is an assassin who intends to plot against Li Xiang. Naturally, these people do not have to abide by the battlefield rules of the Tang army. In addition to Chengde Wolf Cavalry, these temporary cavalrymen were all recruited from the Neiwei and Weiwei Temple. Naturally, they hated those who attempted to be unfavorable to Li Ze to the extreme.
Within five miles of the square garden, there are corpses of people and horses everywhere, and on the most central battlefield, it is even more like hell, and it is terrible.
"General Cheng, all of them are annihilated, and no one escapes!" A general rode his horse to Cheng Yong, reported with his fists, paused for a moment, and then said, "No one is alive."
Cheng Yong stood in the snow, grabbed the snow with his hands, rubbed his blood-stained helmet hard, and heard this, "What kind of living do you want? You're dead."
"What will we do next?"
"Return to Zhenzhou City." Cheng Yongdao.
"Here?" The general looked at the scene like Shura hell: "General Cheng, this is the main transportation route."
Cheng Yong said lightly: "If I guess well, the people in Lingshou County should be coming soon. Leave them to clean the battlefield."
"Although these two thousand cavalrymen came from where did they come from, they dared to organize people to chase two thousand cavalrymen?" The general was a little unbelievable.
"The magistrate of Lingshou County was born from Wuwei Academy. If he has no courage or loyalty, then his official position will be the end. You leave a few people waiting for them here, and the rest will follow me to return to Zhenzhou City." Cheng Yong finally wiped his helmet clean. As for the armor on his body, there is no way to do it now. He can only clean it completely when the matter is over.
The Tang cavalry quickly got on their horses and left with a bang. Only a few Tang cavalry were left. They searched for some dead branches and leaves all over the ground, and then lit a bunch of fires. While roasting the fire, they were waiting for the arrival of Lingshou County.
They didn't wait too long. In less than an hour, a fire dragon appeared in their sight in the night. The ones running in the front were naturally the Lingshou County Magistrate Feng Cheng and the County Magistrate, and the officials of Lingshou County.
At least they still had a horse, and most of the remaining people were donkeys, mules and other animals.
When I saw a civil servant who brought hundreds of mobs, I dared to pursue thousands of Xiang's cavalry. The few inner guards who stayed were very impressed.
Feng Cheng was shocked and grabbed the horse. Under the torch, everything he saw in front of him almost thought he had reached the Nine Nether Hell.
"Is Fengxian Zun in Lingshou?" An inner guard strode forward and bowed. "I am here to wait for General Cheng Yong's order."
"There is Feng Cheng. Are you just talking about General Cheng Yong?" Feng Cheng turned over and strode forward, accidentally stepped on his feet, and suddenly fell to the ground, fell to bite the ground with a mouth. When he looked up, he saw a bloody head staring at his eyes like two dead fish.
Amidst a sense of disgust, Feng Cheng tried to stand up with both hands, but he didn't know what he had grabbed in his hands. He barely got up and took a look. He couldn't help but vomited a lot. In his hands, one of them grabbed a broken hand, and the other one was pulling a long blood-stuck piece of intestine.
Not only Feng Cheng was vomiting, but most of the people present were vomiting. They were screaming at the top of their lungs and breathlessly. Most of the guys who remained calm were retired soldiers. They had seen such scenes, but their faces were slightly pale.
After finally waiting for Feng Cheng to vomit almost, the inner guard continued: "General Cheng Yong asked me to tell the magistrate Feng that the people you brought will be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield here. As for the matters in Zhenzhou City, you should not worry about it. Of course, you also have to send a team of people to Xiangshi Manor to see if you can find some valuable things. If there is one, seal them up immediately. We will send someone to pick them up in the future!"
Feng Cheng nodded in shame.
