944 This fellow is in a hurry, and will eventually have a counter-productive effect
That guy is Xia Luqi? I heard that he was one of the few tiger generals in the Southern Dynasty about martial arts. As expected, he was extremely brave!
An Shentong, who was originally from the martial arts of Ma Zhan, saw Xia Luqi's fierce fighting posture breaking the front and breaking the formation, and then confirmed the other party's identity, and immediately gave up the idea of going forward to confront him in person.
It is indeed well-known... Even if they are still a distance away from each other, An Shentong can probably determine that if he faces Xia Luqi, even if he can resist for a while, he will still lose in the end and he will be shot by the other party.
It seems that he still has to avoid confronting him and lead the cavalry to fight him. He may not be able to defeat the enemy and win... An Shentong thought about it, so he repeatedly shouted orders, and first allowed Xia Luqi to show off his power to kill the array. Later, the Tang cavalry quickly gathered together, trying to avoid the real and attack the virtual, and launched an attack on the flanks of the Wei cavalry.
However, the general is the courage of the soldiers. With a tiger general like Xia Luqi, who took the lead in charge, he also led the elite cavalry under his command to be injected with chicken blood, and the combat power he exerted seemed to have increased exponentially!
An Shentong led the troops and the sharp cavalry of Xia Luqi's troops to fight, but it was already at a disadvantage after a long time. When Zhang Qianzhao saw Xu Cun leading the cavalry and infantry constantly approaching him, he could not have thrown the enemy's pursuers and fled away with a large number of supplies, grain and fodder... How could he abandon the meat that was already in his mouth? Then he could only kill the enemy troops of the Wei Dynasty as soon as possible!
Zhang Qianzhao then roared violently and rode his horse forward. The cavalry soldiers under his command instantly raised all kinds of weapons and began to charge. The dense iron hooves hit the cold ground fiercely, making a loud thunder sound. The large group of cavalry quickly turned into a torrent, just to completely tear the formation they formed apart before Xu Cun's troops approached the baggage cart!
The two generals who had fought for a while ago confronted each other again, and Xu Cun was so happy to issue military orders. When Zhang Qianzhao commanded the cavalry and rushed towards him with the murderous aura of Chongxiao, the captains and spearmen in front of the Wei army rushed forward quickly and quickly arranged into dense gun arrays. The rows of long spears intertwined together, facing the array of the Later Tang cavalry was like a jungle composed of steel barbs!
The speed of the horses of the Later Tang Arc cavalry had already reached the extreme, and it was difficult to stop at this time. The war horses were filled with powerful kinetic energy and rushed away fiercely, but they could not be drilled into the enemy formation in one fell swoop. The cavalry in the front line was the first to be hit, and the people and horses were immediately pierced by several spears that poked out.
The rapid collision still produced a certain effect. Although the spear in the front row of infantrymen was slammed into the flesh and blood of the enemy cavalry, some people were hit, and their bones immediately broke and their mouths were sprayed with blood, and they were hit by the impact force and fell backwards.
However, the infantry formation in which Xu Cun was in charge was not in chaos. The soldiers in the back row immediately stepped forward to fill the gap and held it tightly. The enemy cavalry that rushed over was still pierced by a spear, and the sprinting pace was suppressed. Instead, the cavalry led by Zhang Qianzhao collided in a ball, causing a group of people to overturn!
The armored cavalry that originally intended to enter the enemy formation was in chaos, so how could they crash into this dense spear formation? Suddenly, the central formation command of Xu Cun was in again, and the Wei cavalry rushed out from both sides and attacked the chaos of the Later Tang Dynasty from both sides.
The sharp blades collided, sparks splashed everywhere, and the Wei army's sharp cavalry ruthlessly stepped over and swung their swords to kill. Under the attack from both ends, blood splashed out from the chaotic cavalry of the Later Tang Dynasty.
Originally, he planned to destroy the enemy's formation, but now his own array is in a state of collapse... A large number of generals and soldiers screamed and screamed, and had to retreat one after another. This time, the rushing and stealing chickens without losing rice, failed to shake the enemy's formation, but instead left behind a large number of corpses.
In theory, military forces mainly use cavalry to chew hard bones when attacking, and they must escape immediately. After all, the proportion of the opponent's infantry is relatively large, and no matter how strong the combat power is, it will be very strong. If you chase them, you will not be able to take advantage of the situation and continue to effectively kill.
However, food, supplies and supplies have now become a burden that is difficult to abandon... The party who switches to attack can attack or defend, advance or retreat. But now the party who guards food cannot walk, and can only repel the enemy troops that are constantly approaching the baggage as much as possible... The biggest problem now is that since these large number of baggage vehicles have been taken, are Zhang Qianzhao's troops willing to abandon it?
The Later Tang cavalry, who failed to attack, retreated in panic, and Zhang Qianzhao was mixed in a mess. He turned back angrily and looked at the Wei army formation. A fierce aura surged in his heart. I was unwilling to accept it! It was a great achievement that he had already snatched the Southern Dynasty's supplies and food and supplies to His Majesty. How could he retake it for the enemy?
The baggage and chariots were lost again, which made me unable to command the troops, so I retreated and returned like this... Not only would I be blamed by Your Majesty, but I would also be ridiculed by my colleagues!?
"Get together the queue again, change direction, and then suddenly fight! It is necessary to flatten the Southern Dynasty soldiers!"
Zhang Qianzhao was anxious and immediately shouted loudly hysterically. However, a cavalry general beside him witnessed the shocking tragic situation of a large number of cavalry being strangled in front of the Wei army. He also heard that Zhang Qianzhao was urging the cavalry to attack without hesitation, and immediately persuaded:
"Commander, this group of Southern Dynasties has a close formation, and our army obviously cannot attack! If we just rush over and try to break the formation, it will probably be difficult to work in the end. It is not worth it for our son to fight to the death!"
Zhang Qianzhao's eyes were full of murderous aura, and immediately stared at him and shouted:
"In your opinion, the Southern Dynasty baggage we seized will be handed over to the enemy's failure? Can you tell how much military and horse cost our army at such a large scale!?"
The cavalry general scolded Zhang Qianzhao sternly. He was also stubborn and immediately stubbornly stumbled his neck and retorted:
"Those foods must always be given a chance to get them back, and it is only for the children to have the life to eat! We had joined Hedong earlier and fought for the country, and of course we were not greedy and fearful of death. But my brothers have experienced many death-related attacks, and it is not easy to live until today!
And the commander will also drive your son to attack rashly, which is tantamount to killing them! Unless there is a good way to defeat the enemy, it will be a waste of life!"
When Zhang Qianzhao heard this, his mind suddenly buzzed, and the murderous intent in his heart suddenly became unparalleled! He immediately pulled out the steel knife on his waist and rushed towards the neck of the cavalry like a flash of lightning. The cavalry generals and soldiers around him watched a head with blood falling down!
...In theory, he was appreciated and valued by the Emperor Li Cunxu of the Later Tang Dynasty. Zhang Qianzhao was indeed famous in the army for his bravery. In the past, he led his cavalry as a vanguard, repeatedly defeated the enemy's strength, and seized the city and won the first merits. On the surface, he also seemed to be a general who was accustomed to fighting and fighting.
However, Zhang Qianzhao has many fatal disadvantages in using troops... He is still good at fighting, but once the war is stalemate, he is prone to rush forward. Moreover, he thinks that the military is majestic, but in fact, in terms of understanding the military situation, he is not as good as Zhou Dewei, Li Siyuan and others who can actually win the famous generals under his command, but he feels quite good...
Therefore, Zhang Qianzhao did not know the military situation and often did not care about the military situation. Once he became impatient, he would usually force his soldiers to attack for a strong attack without any cost, or even kill people to establish his authority, but it was very likely to cause mutiny in the army under his command... Just like in the official history, he turned to Emperor Ming Li Siyuan after his death, but in the battle against Li Congke, the Lu King who rebelled against Emperor Min Li Conghou, Zhang Qianzhao fought according to historical records:
Zhang Qianzhao was in a hurry and attacked the southwest of the city. He used his hand-to-hand sword to drive the soldiers to climb the city. The soldiers were angry and criticized. He counterattacked him. Qianzhao jumped out of the horse and escaped. The troops disarmed their armor and surrendered to the King of Lu...
So now, Zhang Qianzhao was angry and killed the cavalry general with a knife, and shouted, "This guy disturbs the morale of the army, he should be beheaded! Who else is afraid of the enemy and will definitely be killed?" But he didn't notice that the eyes of many generals and soldiers around him had changed...
