Chapter Twelve Come and Come

 The moment the steel torrent rushed into the crowd, Zhao Kuanglin was a little dazed.

This scene is so similar, everything seems to be right in front of you.

The heavy horse spear easily pierced a person's body, and the body was hung on the blade of the spear, causing the spear rod to sag slightly. After piercing another person, the knight let go of the horse spear, pulled out the iron mace, and smashed it left and right.

Wherever the fully armed war horses rushed, they would be broken bones and tendons.

Wherever the cold sabre is slashing, flesh and blood will fly everywhere.

Shen Bing cried and shouted at his parents, and they all collapsed to both sides. But hundreds of armored cavalry came towards him, like the cold wind in winter, destroying all the dead grass.

Yes, the Xia cavalry charge has never been all over. Even if there are a thousand cavalry, they are divided into three batches. If this is not enough, the leopard cavalry still has two thousand auxiliary soldiers in leather armor. Should they also make a wave of attacks?

Actually, there is no need.

Zhao Kuanglin ordered the drum beat, and the Suizhou soldiers who were pretending to flee immediately turned around and fought back.

They gave Shenzhou soldiers the last blow.

Panic, how could they compare to Suizhou soldiers who formed a formation to fight alone?

The scattered bows were fired, and the spear stabbed, and a thousand Suizhou soldiers advanced through the walls, easily harvesting the heads of Shenzhou soldiers.

"Be more stable, be more stable, go too fast, do you want to die?"

"I have never seen a turnaround in the war to this point, so I will fight steadily."

"Who told you to shoot several arrows in a row? Didn't you hear the sound of horns?"

"Don't panic, hold the spear tightly, the thieves are even more panic than you."

"What are you doing stupidly? Don't know how to cooperate? Don't shoot when it's time to shoot!"

"Sometimes you don't need to speak, think about how to whip yourself."

"Snap speed and don't let them form a formation!"

The old Cai thief with gray hair shouted loudly and kept greeting. The fledgling village warriors and the prefectures and county soldiers who had never been on the battlefield miraculously stabilized under their calm emotions. The things they learned during their daily training returned to their minds. The whole army became more and more skillful and braver as they fought, completely ending the last bit of resistance from Shen Bing.

"Submitted people are exempt from death!" There were shouts one after another on both sides of the battlefield.

This is the old rule. In order to avoid the enemy's trap and fight, causing fearless casualties. On the other hand, surrendering troops is also a resource, and waste is shameful.

Cui Xiu shouted "I wish to surrender" at the first time, and he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

Although the thief has the side of a desperate and reckless man, he also has the wisdom to survive in troubled times. Now that I have been there, I will keep the green mountains and not be afraid of no firewood. Saving my life is more important than anything else, and I will have a chance in the future.

生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生�

Cui Xiu knelt on the ground barely, and when he threw away the equipment, he was left to slaughter.

Several spears were pointed at him, and a military academy stepped forward and kicked him. Cui Xiu rolled on the ground several times and continued to pretend to be dead.

"Tie!" Several soldiers stepped forward and tied Cui Xiu and their unlucky sons in all directions.

Once Cui Xiu and his son surrendered, the others didn't want to resist. Except for a few lucky people who escaped into the mountains and forests while the night was dark, most of them knelt down and asked to surrender, and their equipment was thrown all over the ground. It was a little thicker, about 1,500 and 600 people.

Listen to their accents, there are all from Shenzhou and Caizhou, and the old Cai thief!

Tang, Deng, Sui, Shen, Guang, Cai, Chen, Xu, Ru, and Luo were the Cai thieves in a broad sense, which can be strictly traced back to the Sui Dynasty.

In the 19th year of Kaihuang, more than 100,000 Turkic prisoners were moved to Yunzhou, Shuozhou and Luoyang to settle down.

In the first year of Renshou, the Sui army fought against the Khitan, and won a great victory. They captured 40,000 men and women, half of which were given to the Turks. The rest moved to Chang'an and Henan, and all the men killed them.

There were even more dynasties, and hundreds of thousands of Hu tribes lived in the above ten states.

Shen, Guang, Cai, Tang, Deng were the Cai thieves in a narrow sense, especially Shen, Guang, Cai, and Cai, who were even more fighter planes among the Cai thieves. They "used a brigade to resist the endless people in the world", spent all the savings of the court to wipe out, and the remaining 5,000 people were sent to Helong to prefect Tubo.

The Shenzhou soldiers are not Cai’s thief, who is Cai’s thief?

Without integrity and ruthlessness, these people have been incorporated!

"Cui Xiu, when will Du Hong be the governor?" Zhao Kuanglin stepped forward, stepped on Cui Xiu's chest with his feet, and asked.

Cui Xiu was a little embarrassed. He was a self-proclaimed governor.

Zhao Kuanglin understood and said, "Since ancient times, heroes do not ask where they come from. If they make new contributions after surrendering, they may not be able to be rich and honored in the future. Isn't it better than being a thief?"

"The general's words are all followed. My father and son are willing to point at the Shui River and swear to never rebel."

After Wang Chong took off his armor, he came over and heard the last sentence and smiled: "You still don't know who you defeated, right?"

Cui Xiu thought about it, Zhao Kuanglin was incapable of supporting so many armored cavalry, so was he a person from Zhezong?

"I am willing to surrender to the commander of Zhecheng in Tangzhou, become a slave and a servant, and I am willing to do so."

Damn, so unconventional!

Wang Chong whipped it up directly and scolded: "You surrendered to the Prince of Lingwu County, Taifu Shao, not Zhe Linggong, do you understand?"

Zhao Kuanglin looked at Wang Chong calmly, then turned his head again. The water was too deep.

"I understand, stop hitting."

"Now, let's go north and stabilize the situation in the state first." Wang Chong put away his horse whip and said.

"Affect the order."

"I've come here, I'll leave after grabbing one hand. It's really not enough. It's better to take over the city first, recruit surrender and rebel, and then go north to Huai River to threaten Caizhou." Wang Chong said to Zhao Kuanglin: "Isn't it much more convenient to attack Caizhou than to attack Ruzhou?"

"General Wang said very well, go to Shenzhou first, and then talk about it. If it really doesn't work, then make a decision." Zhao Kuanglin responded.

After cleaning the battlefield and escorting the prisoners to the city of Shenzhou, it was already midnight.

Cui Xiu shouted at the bottom of the city, and finally the city gate opened reluctantly. The creaking sound was full of hesitation.

The captured people were released. Now there is insufficient manpower, and every minute of the troops is very precious. More than 2,000 Suizhou soldiers have almost all entered Shenzhou. They will control the granary as soon as possible and will send people to the countryside to collect grain tomorrow.

Although the leopard cavalry can fight, those horses are so edible and have a lot of food and grass. If you don’t store more food and grass, you can’t stand it.

Zhao Kuanglin even doubted whether Shenzhou's current crude governance level could afford these thousand armored cavalry, which felt a bit overwhelming.

"Send someone to report the victory to Zheshuai, and then reorganize the surrendered troops." Wang Chong made the final decision, and Zhao Kuanglin had no objection.

...

Xiangyang, Beijin of Chu State. After crossing the Han River, it left Fangchengguan from Nanyang and connected to Zhou, Zheng, Jin, and Wei.

There is Funiu Mountain in the middle, which is blocked by Tongbai Mountain. The terrain is dangerous. Only the southeast foot of Funiu Mountain has a narrow and narrow belt-shaped flat land, which connects to the Nanyang Basin in the southwest and Henan in the northwest. It is the best section to go, and it is the north-south transportation corridor.

Fangcheng can be traced back to the fourth year of Duke Xi of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period (656 BC). The State of Chu inspected the northern defense line, from Funiu Mountain, Tongbai Mountain to Liechang Mountain, and found that there was a gap in this natural defense line, which was Fangcheng Mountain. So he built a city at this pass to block this north-south corridor.

Outside the pass is Ye County of Ruzhou. Inside the pass is Fangcheng County of Tangzhou.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, this road has been called the Wanye Corridor. When the north and the south are fighting, they often choose to take this road together, with few exceptions.

Liu Bang walked this road from Luoyang to Wancheng.

Liu Xiu rose to Nanyang, and Wang Mang sent Wang Yi and others out of Kunyang (South of Ye County), met Liu Xiu, and returned to Luoyang.

Liu Xiu conquered Deng Feng from Duyang (Fangcheng) to Nanyang and also took this path.

At the end of the Later Han Dynasty, Cao Hong attacked Jingzhou and fought in Wuyang and Ye County; Liu Bei stationed in Xinye and advanced to Ye County, setting up an ambush and defeated Xiahou Dun.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Chen Xianda attacked Huan Tiansheng, Lu Yuan attacked Nanyang, and Emperor Xiaowen of Wei attacked Xiangyang, all of which fought here.

The 20,000 people from Zhezong Ben set out from the ancient Wancheng, now Nanyang County, passed through Bowang's ancient city, and walked 120 miles to Fangcheng County.

I went northeast of Fangcheng County and reached Fangcheng Pass ninety miles away. It was the end of October.

Fangcheng Pass is built at the pass on the eastern foot of Fangcheng Mountain. The grass and trees outside the pass are deep and rarely visited, but they are flat and easy to walk.

"Our army has 20,000, but only half of it can be fought. It is hard to say how much Ge Congzhou's troops are, but he has only more than 10,000, and the main force is stationed in Jiacheng City. In Ye County, there are only the state soldiers and the land groups." In Fangcheng Pass, the generals of the Weisheng Army gathered together, and Zhe Zongben personally deployed the combat plan.

Jiacheng, a county under Ruzhou, is 120 miles northwest of Ye County.

When Liu Bei defeated Xiahou Dun in the past, Cao Cao led his army from Luoyang to the south and stationed in Jiacheng, where he could support the front line at any time.

The army asked Pei Yuan to attend the meeting, but did not say a word.

This is not his business, his main job is to supervise the military. Once someone is found to have any abnormal movement and the evidence is conclusive, after discussing with Zhe Zongben, he can hunt down one hundred soldiers of the military officer Pei, carrying a crossbow machine and a knife, and killing a general is not a big problem.

"Everyone has learned military tactics. Ye County is standing there. If it is not pulled out, the road ahead will be worrying. Ge Congzhou's idea must be to use a new force to go south when our army could not capture for a long time and showed its fatigue. Xie Yanzhang's cavalry was stationed in Kunyang Ancient City, north of Ye County, with its main force located in Jiacheng. This plan is very obvious." Zhe Zongben turned around in the house, and everyone's eyes were staring at him.

"There is nothing to hesitate." Zhe Zongben said: "I have been fighting for many years and know that some tough battles have to be fought. Ye County must be taken. Once Ge Congzhou's 20,000 infantry and cavalry are annihilated, the remaining soldiers of the prefectures and counties will be easy to deal with. Our army can go straight north and directly take the Bian army's Guangchengze Mujian, and take all his war horses. Then the troops will come to Luoshui Valley and cooperate with Li Tangbin to cover the bandit army on the front line of Wushan."

Guangchengze is forty miles west of Ruzhou, a radius of hundreds of miles, and flows into the Ru River in the southeast.

During the Later Han Dynasty, Guangchengyuan was established as a place for imperial schools to teach martial arts. During the Sui Dynasty, the Ma Jian was established, and Emperor Taizong of the State Council also hunted here.

There is a hot spring in Zebei, called Guangcheng Tang. Before the Anshi Rebellion, the emperor often lived in the Eastern Capital, and he was lucky to have this Tang.

There is Qingshu Palace nearby, which was built during the Zhenguan period. Later, I found that the summer was too hot and there were many poisonous snakes. So I stopped this palace and distributed the treasures in the palace to the people.

Zhu Quanzhong was not interested in this palace, but he set up a new horse farm here and moved some horses to this point, and supplied the battlefield nearby on the Western Front. Of course, his ranch was not just Guangchengjian. After Li Keyong entered Youzhou, Wang Rong became more and more attentive in showing his horses and almost knelt down to beg Zhu Quanzhong for help. Chengde Town, which is known to have "100,000 cavalry", was his largest "race".

"In this battle, the capital general Zhe Conggu is fighting for You Yi's attack envoy." As soon as Zhe Zong was halfway through his speech, a certain staff member hurried in and reported to him in a low voice.

After hearing this, Zhe Zongben's expression was strange, as if he was happy or annoyed, and he was a little silent for a moment.
