978 The price is heavy, can I get what I want?
The enemy troops of the Wei Dynasty were like wolves and tigers, but when the war was in a stalemate, Zhu Shouyin, a traitor, suddenly stabbed the knife in the back... Two groups of Later Tang troops who were instigating Li Cunxu to attack the Wei army were suddenly attacked by front and back. There were waves of screams and wails in the chaotic array, and they were about to be completely defeated!
After discovering the sudden change in the enemy formation, the generals of the Wei army immediately realized that the other party had a rebellious general and wanted to make trouble at this critical moment. The two armies fought, either you died or I died, so they naturally had to take advantage of all the opportunities to add insults and expand the results of the battle... The Wei army in each unit stepped up the offensive, and the large number of soldiers rushed forward, and they were bound to smash the enemy army line in the Later Tang Dynasty that was sandwiched in the middle!
The soldiers of the Later Tang Dynasty tried desperately to break through the encirclement and reorganized the formation as much as possible. However, the Wei soldiers tried desperately to stop the other party, and the two sides were completely crowded together. Both sides scolded and clenched the weapons in their hands, stabbing each other. However, instead of exchanging lives and fighting bloody battles, the Wei army could stabilize the queue and maintain speed and press forward step by step. The vanguards and weapons stabbed together, and the killing effect was often much better!
The sound of the metal of the weapon rubbing the armor, and even thorns cutting the flesh and blood became more and more intense... A large number of soldiers fell to the ground, and blood flowed everywhere. Under such a fierce offensive, not only did the Later Tang soldiers consumed rapidly, but some of the Later Tang generals who had already made a name for themselves. In theory, they should have the ability to do things in official history. I am afraid that compared with their original fate, they would also have to hate the battlefield in advance...
A wisp of bright red blood overflowed from the corner of a mouth named Fan Yanguang. He overturned the horse from the war and staggered for a bloody battle. Although he killed seven or eight enemy soldiers with his own hands, he later found that his waist was penetrated by a spear.
He could personally feel the vitality of life in his body passing by rapidly. Fan Yanguang stared at the Wei soldiers who were fighting towards him. However, all the scenes in his vision gradually blurred until they were completely swallowed by the darkness...
"After all... Is it inevitable that I will die here..."
Fan Yanguang sighed vaguely, and suddenly his knees softened and he fell directly to the ground... and let the sound of killing around him shook the sky, without any reaction at all.
It is also quite ironic that according to the official history, Fan Yanguang, under the imperial order of Li Siyuan, led his army to pacify the rebels of Zhu Shouyin, who had rebelled again, but now he died in the killing formation because of Zhu Shouyin's sudden turn against him... He would no longer use the military governor of the vassal state and the title of county prince to fight against Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty, and became one of the fallen generals in the Later Tang Dynasty in this battle.
Not far from where Fan Yanguang died in battle, there was a rear Tang army general who was as powerful as a mad tiger. He drove his horse and actually directly crashed into the Wei army formation coming towards him. His mount was two front hooves under his crotch, and he directly stepped over a Wei army soldier. With the crisp sound of bone shattering, the soldier opened his mouth and sprayed a ball of blood mist!
"The Tang Dynasty's commander Zhang Jingda is here! The Wei people should not be arrogant. There are still people who fight to the death in the Democratic Republic. Those who have long lives will come here!"
Zhang Jingda roared angrily, and the muscles on his arms were bulging up in conjunction, rolling up a fierce force, smashing an enemy cavalry coming towards him. Suddenly, two more Wei cavalry generals rushed over and killed him, and two cold lights intertwined and fell, hitting Zhang Jingda's shoulders and waist, and blood flowed in an instant!
Stimulated by the severe pain, Zhang Jingda's expression became more and more ferocious, but he suddenly saw rows of neatly-formed Wei soldiers coming in line, with spears, long swords, hooks, sickles, axes and other weapons dazzlingly making them look cold... No matter how hard he resisted, he was trapped in the enemy's formation, how could he resist the enemy when facing the weapons that attacked from all directions?
Finally, the war horse under his crotch neighed and fell limply to the ground. Zhang Jingda's hysterical roar finally stopped with the falling cold light... His body and his horse were completely submerged by the surging Wei army array. The chaotic blades were added to it, and the corpse that fell in the pool of blood was no longer human...
His father served as military envoy under the command of the Hedong First Lord Li Keyong. Zhang Jingda, who was included by Li Cunxu in his early years, was indeed fearless in his battles, and was absolutely loyal to the Li family in Hedong... But now he died on the battlefield, and he could no longer become the highest-level commander in the late Tang Dynasty to lead the army to fight against Shi Jingtang in the last days of the Later Tang Dynasty.
Although he led his army to block the Khitan cavalry that went south to attack the south, when Zhang Jingda became the commander of the three armies, he would eventually expose the ills of not being good at commanding large-scale legion battles... According to the official history line, he was in the process of delaying the fighter's opportunity, underestimating the enemy's attack, abandoning the attack and defending to the death, and the Khitan army was forced into a desperate situation...
However, Zhang Jingda blamed himself. When warlords in various parts of the Later Tang Dynasty surrendered to the Khitan one after another, he still refused to surrender, and was eventually killed by his subordinates. At least in terms of integrity, even Yelu Deguang, the son of Yelu Abaoji, said to the Han ministers under his command, "You are a minister, and you should follow Jingda." As for the vast majority of the civil and military officials of the Later Tang Dynasty at the same time, even though they were extremely dissatisfied with Shi Jingtang's act of accepting the Khitan as his father, they accepted the title of the Later Jin Dynasty and were willing to be the subordinate ministers of the son emperor.
Fan Yanguang, Zhang Jingda and others were killed one after another, and the rest of the military generals were also in danger. The continuous attack caused the morale of the Later Tang army to fall to the bottom, barely supporting it until now. A large number of scattered Later Tang soldiers rushed and screamed, wailing and screaming... Even though some of the military generals still shouted at the top of their lungs, intending to reverse the decline, some of them were already in a state of decay... because they knew very well:
Our army was already in a low morale, but now it was trapped in a clamping attack and was destroyed by the array. The command failed, which eventually led to the soldiers and horses completely losing the will to fight to the death... Then even the Hedong army, which boasted of bravery, would only wait for them to be massacred!
As for Li Cunxu, he had no time to take into account the situation of the battle groups everywhere on the periphery. He had already penetrated several layers of arrays of cavalry. The rows of spears were in front of them, and the Armored Cavalry that was urging the cavalry to rush the horses to the extreme speed, even if they tried to drive the generals to run to the extreme whenever they could penetrate the line, many cavalry would often be stabbed by the spears that pierced directly, and then fell off their horses and died immediately.
Li Cunxu simply urged his cavalry to rush to the front again. The spear in his hand was dancing up and down, and the blade was covered with blood. Even though the Wei soldiers rushed forward, the swinging gun rods swept over and swept a row of weapons. Li Cunxu stirred his arms again, making the spear both fast and accurate, and stabbed them into the pockets and gaps of the armor of the Wei soldiers. The cold light of the gun was suddenly pulled out, and scarlet blood was splattered!
Li Tianqu! It won’t take long before I will kill you to the imperial dragon chariot you are riding. Can you still stand by and watch calmly?
I also know that when you surrendered to Chenzhou and fought against Huang Chao's rebel army, you often went out to kill the formation... But when I was eleven years old, I followed my father to fight with the army, and then you became the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty. I have been in the deep palace for a long time, but I still often lead the sharp cavalry to destroy the edge of the formation. If I have the chance to kill in front of you, I have no reason to lose to you!
Li Cunxu was thinking fiercely, and the spear in his hand stabbed into the face of a Wei army infantry general in front of him. Amid the heart-wrenching screams, the marching general fell on his back, and the galloping divine horse trampled past his body directly.
The eyes of the galloping horses landed behind the layers of Wei army arrays. Through visual inspection, Li Cunxu could feel that the distance between the Emperor of Wei Dynasty was quickly closer... The flags and flags, which were generally bright yellow, were already very eye-catching in the vast army array. The scene reflected in Li Cunxu's pupils became clearer. The burning fighting spirit in his eyes became more and more intense. In an instant, one spear after another swept open, and another layer of array was rushing through!
