Chapter 1180: Kill a bloody road
The situation is even more dangerous than expected.
Looking at the scouts returning with bloodstains, Liu Yuan's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. Not only were there enemies blocking them in front, but there were also traces of enemies on both sides. And between him and Qin Kuan, a large-scale cavalry unit actually appeared.
The scouts who went up this direction, five people went out and only two came back.
Moreover, this cavalry unit was originally supposed to be Lu Yuan's troops stationed in Yiyang, but now it actually appears here.
The contact between him and Qin Kuan and Ren Xiaonian's troops was basically cut off.
In other words, the three Tang armies have been divided by the enemy.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Yuan decided to make himself an isolated army.
There is no doubt that when you completely escape from the echo of your friendly forces and become a prominent part, the enemy will definitely pounce on you and bite like a cat that smells fishy, which is extremely dangerous for your own troops.
But Liu Yuan also believed that whether it was Ren Xiaonian or Qin Kuan, they should be able to understand what they were going to do, and they should not waste the opportunities they created for them.
Now the three troops of Qin Kuan, Liu Yuan and Ren Xiaonian are each much thinner. Liu Yuan hopes that after he attracts most of the enemies to encircle and suppress, Ren Xiaonian can quickly advance and strive to join Qin Kuan. In this way, their strength will be fundamentally increased, thereby increasing the possibility of survival.
General Li will definitely come to rescue him, and the court will not sit idly by, and there must be some means. If you want to wait for this, you must first persist for a longer time, because no matter where General Li or where the court is, it will take time from getting the news to reacting and finally taking action.
The temporary meeting seemed a bit heavy.
All the generals knew that Liu Yuan's decision was like a journey to death. Once he moved forward, there would be no way back. If he adopted a conservative strategy and chose a dangerous place to stick to it, they might wait until the turn. After all, they were the first to get the news.
Liu Yuan's sharp eyes swept across every officer present.
This was an expanded meeting, where all people at the level of whistle commanders and above appeared.
"Everyone sitting here is a member of Yixing Society. I think no one will forget the words on the cover of the Yixing Society program." Liu Yuan's tone was light, but he was very determined. "Now, it's time for us to practice it."
The atmosphere in the venue became particularly heavy.
"Everyone, we were the first to get the news and have made some corresponding preparations. It can be imagined that whether it is General Ren or General Qin's troops, we are afraid that we have just received the news. By the time they react, the enemy's division and siege have been fully completed. By that time, it will be too late to say anything. Now, there are still gaps between the enemies and loopholes to be found. This is our opportunity."
"Once we can find an opportunity, we will inevitably attract the surrounding enemies to us. If we attract a large number of enemies, whether it is General Qin or General Ren, we will have time to make adjustments."
"This is a journey to death, but if you put it to death, you may be able to fight a path of blood."
Liu Yuan stood up and took a deep breath: "Of course, it is obvious that there is no need to ask about the difficulties here. Although I am the commander of this army, when I can choose this, I am willing to let everyone choose our next action together. Those who agree with my plan stand up. Those who disagree, sit still without moving."
After a moment of silence, one person stood up. Then, one person after another, all stood up.
Seeing that there was not a single sitting person in front of him, Liu Yuan smiled with relief.
"Okay, I am worthy of being a soldier in the Tang Dynasty, and I am my brother Liu Yuan! Now brothers, prepare for battle, move forward and face the battle with the enemy! The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are the bravest, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are also the strongest, and we are the bravest among them."
Hunan general Wei Dongsheng really didn't expect that things would be like this.
He is also a veteran.
Ask yourself, if you encounter such a situation, you will definitely choose a dangerous place to stay and wait for help. No matter whether you can get out of trouble in the end, at least you can still have a good expectation.
Now the Northern Tang army Liu Yuan's troops in front of him have a total of 3,000 people. They have been surrounded by several sieges. In front of him are infantry with tens of thousands of people. On the left and right sides of him, cavalry are interspersed and divided. It is no exaggeration to say that the other party has fallen into a desperate situation. Even if the enemy in front is weak and vulnerable, what if the enemy in front is defeated? Further ahead, there are more troops waiting for him, and the cold, tall and sturdy Xiangxiang City Wall waiting for him.
Wei Dongsheng believed that the morale of the soldiers of the Northern Tang army must have fallen to the bottom now.
This is his conventional perception.
No matter who it is, it is normal to have such a reaction after being in a desperate situation.
But the scene that happened in front of me was not like this.
When the sky was just dawn, the Tang army suddenly appeared in front of his camp and launched a crazy attack on his camp like a mad tiger.
His front camp was defeated almost the moment he contacted the other party.
Seeing that the opponent was attacking his central army camp and his camp was still in chaos, Wei Dongsheng made a quick decision and ordered a general to gather the remaining troops on the spot to resist, while he led the main force of the establishment to retreat to the rear camp.
The rear battalion should have already built the most basic defense measures at this time. When its main force injects in, it can block the opponent in the camp. As long as this is achieved, it will be able to entangle the enemy with its own number of people. The battles here will soon be spread to the cavalry on the left and right wings. When the cavalry arrives, it will be the time when Liu Yuan is destroyed.
There was no problem with Wei Dongsheng's reaction and command.
The only problem is that he mistakenly estimated the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the team in front of him.
He had just retreated into the rear camp and had not had time to make necessary military deployment and military equipment, the Tang army had already chased his tail and came over.
The remnants who delayed the time he left were not winning any time for him.
Liu Yuan rushed to the forefront of the army.
He was covered in blood, waved his horizontal sword with both hands and looked forward straight, and didn't even look at the opponent's soldiers running on both sides. As long as he didn't run to the front of him, he would not want to spend even a little effort to cut a knife.
In front of them, there were horse-rets, deer antlers and other messy obstacles. Behind these things was the Hunan army that was rushing to array. Under the banner of Wei, rows of archers were bent down and arrows were being posed. Liu Yuan even saw a series of powerful crossbows being twisted by soldiers and arrows.
Liu Yuan ran forward roaring.
Take off.
He rose up.
He heard the buzzing sound when countless arrows were fired.
Group body.
The whole person curled up like a ball, and Liu Yuan fell heavily.
Linoline feather arrows flew over his head, and the sound of jingling came from the armor on his body.
I don’t know if I was shot or injured.
At this time, Liu Yuan could not feel any pain at all.
The moment he landed, his horizontal knife had already unfolded.
Sweep! From left to right.
Sweep! From right to left.
The weapons tailor-made for the generals of the Tang Dynasty's military weapon supervisors at this moment reflect the powerful energy they should have.
Wherever the horizontal knife passed, blood splattered and screamed in pain.
"Grenade!" Liu Yuan hissed.
The two personal soldiers who followed him took out their grenades, and lit the leads on the ground. After counting one, two or three times, they threw their hands at the Hunan troops not far away that seemed to have formed a queue.
Amid the banging explosion, some troops that had just appeared were blown up again.
Wei Dongsheng was almost fallen off his horse by the explosion of air waves.
He barely sat down immediately, but it happened in horror. A guy holding a horizontal knife with a size larger in both hands, covered in blood. At this time, he was grinning with a big mouth, revealing his white teeth, and rushed towards him with a grin.
At this moment, whether it was a ghost or a fascinated person, Wei Dongsheng subconsciously turned around and ran away.
The main general fled and moved the flag backward. What it means to be on the battlefield is no longer clear.
The rear camp, which had already had some appearances, collapsed again in just a short moment, and they began to retreat with the flag.
If Liu Yuan wanted to expand the results of the battle at this time and wanted to kill more Hunan soldiers, he would have a chance, because at this time, the other party had completely lost effective resistance.
It’s a pity that Liu Yuan has no time.
He knew very well that the opponent's cavalry was afraid that if he was delayed, he would not be able to leave if he was delayed.
"Don't fight in love. Snatch all the mules and horses that can be transported by, let's go!" Liu Yuan grabbed a war horse that had lost his master, turned over and rode on it, and shouted loudly.
A personal soldier who was following him took off his military horn from his waist and started whispering ticks.
Liu Yuan even fought the horses without any nostalgia and continued to run forward.
Soon, the enemy learned his lesson. As long as they ran to both sides, the Tang army would not chase after him. Only those who were confused and did not argue would block the Tang army's way forward and become the ghosts under the sword of the Tang army.
In less than an hour, Liu Yuan actually broke out from the ten thousand Hunan infantrymen in front of him and left.
Have the Hunan Army been injured a lot?
not necessarily.
Chapter completed!
