By the vortex water, another round of battles and killings is constantly being staged. Just as an officer and army who took the initiative to attack and attack, it is no longer the original bravery and vigorous vigor.
The only thing that can gallop between these, like the muddy tide of the rebel crowd, is like no one, and there is a bright color composed of silver armor and snow-colored sword soldiers.
That was the former Yulin Armored Cavalry. In the old days, the Sixth Army of the Beiya was dominated by the sacred army, and gradually replaced and became a kind of fancy pronoun. Only the last glory is left; it was Cao Quanluo that year At the time of the deputy envoy of the Pinglu Army, the imperial court specially gave three thousand and five hundred armored cavalry to imprisoned soldiers.
It was only when the battalions recruited the grass thieves to make Song Wei falsely report (Zhan Wang Xianzhi) for his military merits, and intercepted Wang Xianzhi’s confidant to enter the court, and was convicted and seized. The armor rider was transferred to the hands of his deputy Cao Quanzhu, and he has been fighting with him ever since.
However, these glamorously armored knights broke through and dispelled the lineup of grass thieves over and over again, trampling them under the horseshoes, and at the same time, they gradually became less and less, more and more weak and weak. slow.
Because these ragged grass thieves are too many; many of them shot them out with their swords and guns with bows and crossbows, but they did not reduce the average; on the contrary, these people are knights with silk covers on their horses and armors. The downward acceleration slows down a bit, and it will soon be surrounded by thieves who are flooding in like tides.
So the horse's hoof was tripped and overturned, the armored knight was dragged down by hands or rolled to the ground, and then before struggling to defend himself, he was holding his hands and feet and reciprocating along the gap in the armor with a sharp tool. Stabbed to kill, or simply smashed his head with a stone.
When they dispersed, only a stripped and smashed corpse remained on the ground. However, Zhu Lao San, who was in the sequence chased by these imperial armors, had no such mood and interest at all.
But he watched his brothers, one by one, falling under the collision and kick of these bloody, but undiminished, ferocious iron men and iron horses.
They don’t even need to use knives, guns and combat skills. They can knock people off their horses alive by relying on the iron shells that cover their heads and expose their eyes, and they can knock people off their horses alive, or even overturn them. Step on the ground again.
However, most of the swords cut by the soldiers of the rebel cavalry squadron who fought bravely slipped over the armor of these officers, or bounced back and were chopped and picked up by the backhand, thus losing their lives.
Fortunately, the white-maned horse bestowed by the Yellow King was quite powerful, and he finally did not smash or lose strength at the critical moment, and fell into the chase of the officials. But the horsemen and soldiers he brought out to contain and lure the enemy to ride, but the ten stops have already lost seven or eight stops.
At this moment, he finally saw the flag that was lifted up and swayed vigorously among the chaotic crowd, and he couldn't help but loosened his heart and shouted at the servant behind him:
"Quickly follow me..."
However, in this moment of shouting, the dozens of pawns that landed at the end of the team were overturned by these officers who were chasing after them on tall horses, and they were overturned or pierced with all swords and guns. , Cut off his arm;
Then, at the front end, he once again saw the rebel soldiers scattered like a low tide, as well as the rows of things exposed from them, shouting loudly while reading.
"Let's jump up with me..."
Following his yelling, the remaining rebels who followed him slammed their horses and spurred their whip, and jumped up from where they were; however, among the rebels who fled in the west of Zhejiang, they had already been artificially manipulated. A variety of carts and taxis were used to lay an obstacle line that was blocked by the battlefield.
And behind this simple obstacle line, the leader Sura, who was lucky enough to get out of Yangzhou City a few months ago in the great water, also loudly encouraged the crouching soldiers and said:
"Don't worry about it, this is the combined vehicle warfare that our boss learned from the Taiping Army... It's very effective against cavalry."
Before he finished his words, he saw the rebel riders leaping over their heads, and suddenly wailed the screamers and fell down. But it was the bow shot by the official rider who came behind him and threw it. The object hit the moment; blood was immediately spilled on their heads.
"Don't panic, our horses are light, and their horses are heavy. They don't come here so easily..."
Sura shouted remedially.
Then, there were rebel riders who rushed past one after another, either because they were out of force or because their starting position was too low, or because they miscalculated their own power, and they stumbled one after another on this simple car formation. The man and horse fell and rolled on the other side.
"We will definitely be able to stop the officers and soldiers..."
Now Sura tried to squirm her mouth, still couldn't help but speak.
Suddenly, the vibrating streak of victories and loud noises were heard in that room, but this hastily formed line of defense has already been knocked open and overturned several places by those unable to deal with it. Before the soldiers in ambush had time to react and make a move, they were all rolled underneath with their vehicles, and they screamed bloody.
Fortunately at this time, the remnants of the rebel horsemen who were speeding by finally stopped and regrouped not far away, and under Zhu Laodan's orders and guidance, they gathered the retired soldiers again, and they had to slow down. After coming down, the officials gathered in several places surrounded again.
I saw the swords and spears and hooks lifted up by Mi Mi Zaza, and they kept slipping away on the blood-stained hard armor, making a harsh scraping cymbal; but the calves of these officials and the four hooves that the horses could not cover were completely There is no way to evade and defend.
Surrounded and rushed regardless of sacrifices, soon there were officials who could not cover each other, one after another, they were chopped off their horses and rolled off, and they were slammed into the gap between their necks and thighs. Going down, the screams turned into a large mass of blood on the ground.
In the end, before another group of official horses came to attack and rescue, there were already 60 or 70 official horses left, and Zhu Lao San's army was captured by this, and half of the group was armed on the spot.
. . . . . . .
After the sky gradually darkened; looking at the chaotic retreat, the Tianping army who had just fallen from the horse was waiting for Cao Xiang with a horizontal knife, only to feel that he would fall to the ground next step; no days in a row. After the night battle, they have been exhausted physically and mentally.
When they opened their eyes, they were full of corpse pillows on the floor, and they couldn't hide the strong blood and rotten smell when they opened their mouths to eat and drink. Then they sat on the corpses of the robes and the culprits to rest, and even helped each other back to the camp.
His lonely lonely Tianping Army has been here for several days, whether it is the Huainan Army in the south, or the Pinglu, Taining, Xuanwu, Huahua, and Yicheng troops in Henan. , There was no movement or response to help.
He wanted to say a word to his father-in-law Cao Quanzhu: You want to imitate Zhang Zhongcheng (Zhang Xun), but Guo Fenyang and Li Linhuai are gone in this world, I'm afraid that even the loyal figures like Yan Lu Gong could not be tolerated by the court.
However, after he returned to the army, he saw the resolute and persistent face of his father's commander, but described the thinned face; yet he was unable to speak out such words of condemnation.
"Father, although there is no shortage of food and equipment for the time being, our son-in-law can't last long..."
Cao Xiang pleaded hoarsely.
"I know... So I ordered you to lead someone to stand out for help..."
With thick eyebrows and a broad face, Cao Quanluo, whose eyes became sharper and thinner, rarely agreed.
"Father handsome!!! I would like to replace you..."
At this moment, Cao Xiang suddenly cried out clearly and earnestly.
"Shut up, do you want to disobey the military order... These anti-thief is afraid that it is not because of the father's banner that they are able to stay here... If they can spend one day here, wouldn't the east behind have one more day of preparation? period.."
Cao Quanzhen was rarely angry, and then said emotionally.
"Don't make mistakes, let me betray my intentions..."
Finally, under the black sky, watching Cao Xiang’s figure crying and saying don’t take the night away, Cao Quanzhu’s face showed a bitter smile and helplessness; he was surrounded by the enemy and I was afraid that it would be hard to escape; but here At the last moment, he still selfishly sent out his only remaining son to try to get a chance.
After all, since another second son, Cao Ling, was caught in the thieves, except for the husband who has been with him; he has no adult heirs who can launch to preside and control the situation in the town; this way in the Tianping Army I am afraid that a series of follow-up disturbances will be born because of the unbalanced mind of the soldiers.
