Although he had just encountered a crisis of escaping from the dead, followed by the bad news of losing the city and land; but as one of the few high-ranking rebels who have survived many years from the Huangchao campaign.
Fei Chuangu was not hit by this accident and setbacks, and soon, step by step and methodically, in Fuping City (now Fuxian, Shaanxi), foreign exchange gathered and gathered tens of thousands of horses and enough grain and grass for long-term support;
In this regard, relying on the buildings outside the city in the Fuping River Valley, along the Y-shaped trend of the Luo River in the east and the Hulu River in the west, many military villages are distributed; the barriers are placed against the three main valleys in the mountains and hills to the north. A posture of taking the initiative to meet.
Soon, the common people and the defeated soldiers who rushed and routed like ants were the official banners that appeared one after another. However, with the exception of a few shimmering armoured soldiers, most of them were infantry infantry in fur robes and hats.
This also made Fei Chuangu, who was watching on the high platform, let out a sigh of relief. These Fanhu tribes, which are next to the Datang City, are of course plagiarized and plundered like wind; but they are also known for not being good at attacking fortifications.
Not to mention their outfits and armor, even the newly recruited pawns under Fei Chuangu's command. However, he did not relax his vigilance because of this; after all, since these officers and soldiers can easily break through and sink, the cities and military villages in the north must have their support.
Therefore, when the flag representing the Hedong Town and Daibeihangying, and the big 纛 painted "Much to the North", finally appeared at another valley crossing; Fei Chuangu was greatly relieved instead. , And looked around and said:
"It turned out to be the Blood Bodhisattva Cui Anqian, the urging minister is here..."
"Since the messenger has already been sent out, let us entertain the servants before the king's army comes to help..."
"Not so,"
"Just listen to the old handsome..."
The left and right also burst into laughter. After all, they are not without the confidence and capital to hold on; you must know that today's great army horses are no longer what they used to be.
Compared with those who were chased and attacked by the officers and soldiers, they had no choice but to drift away, go to war, and struggle on the road. Nowadays, they not only have the land and wealth, but they also have a lot of clothes and food. Ride and carry.
On the other hand, the Hedong army and horses facing each other looked like the flags and armors were dull and obsolete; and everyone was so dusty that it was difficult to hide the dusty face of the long journey. Obviously, the past two years have been cut off in Hedong, and the life is not so ideal .
Soon, the vassal riders who first arrived at the edge of the battlefield in the Y-shaped river valley already slapped themselves, and the Howling Monster screamed and launched a tentative attack.
I saw the sand and dust that they rolled up with the scatter, like a flowing gray cloud pounced on the front row of the rebels in the array; suddenly that room was in the chaos of people and horses, and was preset by the front of the array. He and Ban Suo hung up a bunch of them.
So the rest of the feudal cavalry did not even wait for the array to rush to the front of the array, they randomly shot a sparse and inaccurate arrow, and hurriedly dialed their horses and turned around amidst the loud ridicule of the rebel soldiers, ending this round of horror. Test the offensive.
"Be careful of these fools... Let the shooting team stabilize the position..."
Seeing this scene, Fei Chuangu frowned slightly and explained.
However, afterwards, those Fanhu people rushed several times, and their scale and intensity suddenly increased a lot; but they were never able to rush to the front, instead they just made a joke with a short bow in their hands. Dozens of casualties.
Then, the more brightly colored flags of the officers and soldiers finally appeared on the front line of the match.
As the starters, it was the banner of the Zhaoyi Army from the land of the Shangdang; they wore two gray-brown armors and curled helmets, silently and neatly following the road paved with the corpses of the army, holding their placards and raising their spears. Cull up.
And the front line of the Muzha and the trenches also hurriedly shot a heavy rain of arrows; it was just that for those Panhu tribes, if they were shooting like a ruin, their effectiveness was greatly weakened in front of them.
Amidst the beeping sound of raindrops, they who were used to covering each other only left sparse corpses and wounded, and they immediately approached the forefront of the rebels.
Immediately there was a sudden roar, and the fence that came out from the back of the group card was chopped with axe and knives all at once; then it was stabbed into the trench by the spears that were successively propelled from the back of the fence.
After only a short while, the first front of the rebels was in short-term combat, and was easily broken by these Zhaoyi troops. However, Fei Chuangu smiled disapprovingly.
Because, after the Zhaoyi army killed the last bit of obstacles before their eyes, they encountered the second barrier and deeper and wider trenches, and they stumbled and fell in; the so-called rushing trend was suddenly blocked.
At this time, the second formation of the official army as a support and support also came up, but it was the Datong army from the land of Yunzhou. With their swords and swords, they followed the path that the Zhaoyi army was declining and quickly gave way. He flew over the fences and trenches where the servants were corpses, and jumped into the rebel array to hack and kill.
At this time, the third officer army also joined the battlefield. This time it was from the Tiande army from Fengzhou, which is adjacent to the vast desert. They were born as the frontier army of the dying lineage of the Tang Dynasty; they were mostly father, son and brothers in the army.
Therefore, although there is no shortage of figures with a few horns in the head, but with the cooperation of small groups of melee and fighting, it is almost one-sided to make the frontier thicker and thicker array of rebels, tearing up many gaps and disintegrating again. Open.
But the sky was sinking, coming from the land of Yanbei, the Zhenwu army, dressed more like Fanhu but more sophisticated, also joined the battlefield. The Hedong is mountainous, so the local army and horses are also known as pawns; but the Zhenwu army near Shuofang is obviously an exception.
Most of them were lightly armed with spears and knives, and along the passages opened by the former officers and soldiers, they flew across obstacles and depressions in the battlefield, and leaked like countless streams. Amidst the defeated rebels, there were waves of blood and tears.
At this time, the official-military front was not far below Fuping City. Fei Chuangu deployed an array along the river with arrow towers, outposts, and military villages. Only the last of the twelve defense arrays he deployed was left. . The Hedong Army, which is in the middle of the army, hasn't even played out yet.
And at this moment when the voice of killing was screaming under the city, returning to Fei Chuangu on the top of the city, there were also many generals who screamed:
"Old man, can't wait any longer..."
"After waiting, I won't be able to gather one back..."
Fei Chuangu, however, did not hear it, and stared at the far side unmovedly, the "Duo Wentian" big blob that was stained in the faint color, until the flag was shaking and slowly pressing forward.
He suddenly let out a sigh of relief, lowered the golden whip of Ni Jun's head in his hand, and said solemnly:
"Let the fifth battalion of the horse team attack from the east and west gates in turn. Go out of the west gate to attack the banner of the Datong Army, and go out to the east gate to intercept the vibrating cavalry..."
"Later, I will personally lead this formation to attack..."
Following his command, the five-color matching flag on the head of the city was also violently moving, and turned into a fierce kicking sound inside the city gate;
The blood-colored Xixia went down west, and the rebel horse captain dragon sprinted down the wall along with the galloping; the officers and soldiers who were chasing after him and mixed into a group also broke out with a stern explosion.
However, no one seems to be able to redeem and rescue their chance; because before the Hedong Army of the original formation covered and killed them, the new force that had smashed out of the city had already broken through the resistance of the official Hanamaki, and dispersed it. And cut apart.
Then, following Fei Chuangu's personal attack, the team drove away, ruined and defeated like an inverted bead curtain. At this time, the banners of the Hedong Army that were standing forward suddenly stopped; it seemed that they had given up their efforts to respond.
At this time, Fei Chuangu, who had just had a hearty feeling, heard the rapid sound of warning gongs and drums from the rear of the city; because, in the mist of dusk, a large amount of smoke was once again stirred up. .
Immediately, there was a team rushing out of the city and hurriedly turning back; standing with knives, spears and shields, they lined up in a row of seven or eight rows; then they slowly advanced towards the smoke and dust, and raised their hands to save. A wave of crossbow arrows was fired.
In response, a tall rider covered in armor like a "beast of a beast", suddenly ran out of the smoke amid the fierce neighing sound, with a sharp horse under his arm, carrying a storm-like momentum. , Burst into the array.
Then the two sergeants screamed and flew upside down. They were pierced together by the strong cavalry captain. They rushed straight for a few steps, knocked over several companions one after another, and then rolled down.
Then the enemy rider drew out an iron whip after the long squat let go, and the rebels who fought face-to-face flew around; the horses covered all over savagely collided under it, trampling and trampling the human body it encountered; He kept breaking and breaking several knives and spears before being restrained and castrated.
Immediately following this horseman, more and more black-robed and black-armored "beasts" rushed into the rebel formations, like a hurricane, treating these soldiers as seedlings of requisition and wantonly charge. , Harvesting, after Ma Jian's stab, and after the mace, he drew his saber out of his side to continue fighting.
Seen from a distance along the route of the cavalry charge, it looks like a crooked and bloody alleyway, piles of undead volunteer soldiers lying on the ground, coughing in the dust where the black armored iron riders fly away. , Covering the wound,
As soon as someone was about to sit up, the enemy saber players who followed up stepped over again. Then the head was pressed by the shield, blood splashed between the hands of the knife, and the head fell to the ground.
It was the light infantry team that followed the black armored cavalry in the smoke and dust. After the well-known sword players and spearmen followed the cavalry in turn, they began to frantically harvest these scattered rebel soldiers.
Therefore, the rebel generals who stayed on the front of the city can only see that these enemy horses from the south rear quickly smashed the first battle and blocked the city, and then cleared the side door trying to intercept the first battle. The two wings of the second team,
Then it was like an unstoppable rush, coming directly from the middle of the second most heavy battle, and chasing and biting the outer teams in the North City War.
And to the south of the city, more pawns under the banner of the official army followed behind and launched a fierce impact. As a result, the rebels that had been gathered under the city as a whole began to disperse and rout again, like a bank that was broken by a flood. (End of this chapter)
