Chapter 237 Take the opportunity to grab the site, and also the savior
Many fangs were launched from Si and Xuzhou, and the bandits who were plundering Sun Ru's food and grass were gradually eliminated along the way. Naturally, it was inevitable that they would have to kill for several battles, but they were always half-starved, and the bandits with a floating morale were cruel and their strength was not good. When they encountered the fang soldiers led by Fu Cunshen, Wang Chongshi and other generals, they naturally could not avoid being encircled and annihilated.
However, a large number of troops led by Kang Huaiying arrived directly in front of Shanyang County, the capital of Chuzhou. On the grounds of supporting and resisting the bandits and working with the people to safeguard the city, the soldiers guarding the city immediately opened the city gate and let their troops enter the city to rest and rectify.
Sun Ru opened his army and burned and killed and looted everywhere in the Jianghuai area. The prefectures in various places were unable to resist, and most of them had to seize the city. Now, at least, the army of Li Tianqu was coming from the north. They were not the evil soldiers who wanted to kill and peel off the city gates. Moreover, the city guards who were willing to sweep the snow in front of the door everywhere, whether they wanted to or not, now Sun Ru left, and Li Tianqu came again... No one wanted to continue to do this, and they didn't want to anger the army of Li Tianqu, who was willing to discuss with them.
However, when the city gate was opened, a large number of soldiers entered the city. They quickly lined up in a row with long spears flashing with sharp blades. Although the remaining guards did not face each other, the soldiers were cold-faced and cold-eyed, and full of evil spirits. Kang Huaiying rode his gun and walked into the city wall. After he looked around at the shocked and terrified soldiers and said loudly:
"Sun Ru's thief robbed the Cang and the Lieutenant, slaughtered the people, and committed great evil. He was neighboring the vassal states. My lord was kind and righteous. He raised troops to Jianghuai to eliminate violence and good fortune and remove the defilements. I came here under the order of Jun to take over Shanyang, the capital of Chuzhou. You all should wait for our army to settle down. If you disobey and disobey, don't blame me for turning against me!"
Kang Huaiying said as she turned her head and glanced over, her eyes full of warning. The soldiers guarding Shanyang were frozen there and did not dare to move. They knew very well that now, they would have to let the military sent by Li Tianqu take over the city...
Originally, after Yang Xingmi captured Yangzhou and forced Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan and other rebel generals to flee, he began to attack the old subordinates of his old boss Gao Pian, successively occupying Chuzhou and Hezhou, and temporarily occupied Chuzhou, which is now controlled by Li Tianqu.
However, when Sun Ru's army came, he had to shrink his troops and defend. What boundary is Xuanzhou where Yang Xing was now closely resisting Sun Ru's attack? Xuancheng, the capital of Xuancheng belongs to the southern Anhui region and was located in the west of Jiangnan in the Tang Dynasty. It was not only a long distance from Li Tianqu's troops and horses that advanced southward by taking advantage of the situation. There was also a natural danger of the Yangtze River in the middle. Therefore, most of the prefectures in Jianghuai north of the Yangtze River are actually no different from those in the uninhabited land.
The flag of the king changed from the city to the front. Whether it was the prefectures under the Huainan Army's vassal states or the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Tang court changed hands several times. The originally appointed governors were either killed or fled... Taking Shanyang, Chuzhou as an example, now all rely on local clerks to gather some officers and soldiers. The local people spontaneously organized civil wars and evil soldiers under Sun Ru. They have no strong backers behind them now. So when Li Tianqu's army comes, most of the scattered tribes who are struggling to defend the city and support will choose to follow. For many people, they will even treat Li Tianqu as a savior.
In this way, Li Tianqu and several groups of troops headed south along the eastern coastal prefectures, from Haizhou, Sizhou, Chuzhou... to the south, and connected to two prefectures. This has also been opened to the area in the central area of the Yangtze River Delta in later generations. It is already across the river from Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou and other places under Sun Ru's control.
According to Li Tianqujun's order, after the Yingzhou Prefecture north of the Yangtze River occupied by various troops, he then went to the Huainan Military Governor's headquarters at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal. It used to be full of flowers, but now it is promoted with Yangzhou, which is the same as the dead city, to occupy key passes such as the Yangtze River ferry crossings of Xijindu, etc., but there is no need to rush to launch a fierce attack on the prefectures under Su, Run and Changsan, which are temporarily under the rule of Sun Ru.
Sun Ru has now had exhausted his troops and food, and has fought with Yang Xing to the point where he was exhausted. The remaining troops could not hold on for a long time and would not be defeated. Originally, it was easily occupied by Yang Xingmi when he launched a large-scale campaign. Li Tianqu thought that now I am first come first served, so why should I lose my troops and horses in vain to attack the city?
However, Li Tianqu's command of troops arrived at the territory of Yiling Town, Xiayangzhou, and finally encountered a large-scale robbery army. The two forces were hostile to death and died, and they naturally became particularly jealous and immediately fought fiercely.
The screams were heard fiercely and noisy, and the soldiers on both sides fought with red eyes. All kinds of weapons hit and tore the thin armor, and blood kept splashing. With the fierce sound of horse hooves, the shouts and killing roars from a pair of sharp cavalry sounded terrifyingly. They waved their weapons in their hands frantically for killing in the horse battle, and suddenly crashed into the increasingly chaotic thieves in front of them.
But it was Liu Zhijun who took the lead, swung his arms and opened his edges on both sides. The large sword swept over quickly, and the sound of tearing the armor and the muffled sound of cutting flesh and blood in sharp weapons. No matter how cruel and killing the soldiers next to the thief army were, they could only end up being dismembered and cut off. The sword edge passed, and the remaining limbs kept flying. Liu Zhijun rushed in and swept a bloody road with the big sword in his hand. For a moment, he killed many thieves and soldiers to the ground!
There were also two hundred powerful riders following Liu Zhijun, holding sabers and big swords. The weapons they waved and slashed hard, and they could easily break the surrounding enemies. The blood rain quickly splashed them all over.
After all, the number of troops equipped by the armies under Li Tianqu was limited, and it took longer to train elite and combat-friendly cavalry. More than 500 cavalrymen in the Taoist army led by Liu Zhijun, of which more than 200 cavalry also honed his ability to swing his sword and break the formation, and he really lost the title of Taoist.
At least, the sharp cavalry that followed Liu Zhijun's attack and break the formation were tall and powerful, and they were all wearing solid heavy armor to protect themselves. They chose such killing weapons. Even if they were not as good as cavalry, spear, spear, and other heavy weapons, they could still sweep the circle and form the effect of cutting melons and vegetables in the enemy's formation!
At least for now, Liu Zhijun is also determined to make achievements under Li Tianqu’s tent. Even though he is extremely sensitive, he knows that with his own ability, he should try his best to climb up in the army and be valued by the Lord. At this moment, the soldiers of the cavalry who are protected and cooperated around him only need to be determined and only focus on rushing towards the center of the enemy. When the enemy bandits in front of him were screaming in a row, Liu Zhijun raised his head and looked at the name shown on the tilted flag opposite, and said in his heart:
Zheng Fan? I have never heard of this person's name. It seems that his ability to fight is just like this...
Wherever he passed, the bodies of enemy bandits were left, and some of the arms were cut off, or half of their arms were removed... and even the wounded soldiers who were broken by a bowl of horse hooves were not dead for a while, but they had to scream and struggle on the ground. During this battle of breaking the formation, Liu Zhijun first commanded the infantry to resist the enemy's offensive, and immediately seized the fighter's opportunity with his knowledge, and personally led his sharp cavalry to attack the enemy's weakness.
After breaking the formation and rushing, the bandits of Sun Ru's forces suffered heavy losses. Experts took action, and Liu Zhijun could quickly measure that even if the thief general called Zheng Fan could lead troops to fight, it depends on who he was compared. In terms of reactions at the moment, the difference was quite different from him.
However, when Liu Zhijun thought he could easily kill the head of the bandit army, he rode his horse and rushed to kill. Suddenly, someone from the enemy ranks opposite him roared:
"Quick! Get ready to start the plane and fly the fire!"
