Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 192
Wang Rulin's cavalry rushed into the Cai army's formation with a destructive force. At this time, the Cai army's morale was broken, and the soldiers scattered and fled.

Many people threw down the weapons and shields in their hands, just wanting to run faster, and the army only needs to follow behind to hide and kill.

On the entire battlefield, the only place that still resisted was Zhang Yu's commander-in-chief's flag. Li Kexiu's sergeants had already surrounded Zhang Yu and sent people to persuade him to surrender.

Zhang Xuan looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's not because I didn't try my best, it's because the weather is not on Daqi's side!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to commit suicide, and was knocked down by the soldiers around him.

"Marshal, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

Where to serve as a soldier is not to serve as a soldier!
And Wang Rurulin also dispatched cavalry to speak out.

"Put down your weapons, those who kneel will not be killed!"

"Put down your weapons, those who kneel will not be killed!"

……

The news of the great victory under the city of Luoyang quickly reached the ears of the emperor.

"Wang Rulin led an army to attack?"

"Exactly, Your Majesty. At that time, Zhang Xuan led the army to attack the Hedong army formation. The front army and the rear army were separated, leaving a gap. Commander Wang saw the opportunity and led the army to attack decisively, defeating the bandit army in one fell swoop!"

His Majesty the Emperor was very happy. To be honest, Li Ye didn't like Wang Rulin very much. From the beginning to the end, he regarded the [-] cavalry as miscellaneous, and belonged to the third-line army just like the Shanguo Army.

You must know that in the eyes of His Majesty, Zhu Zhen's Zuohuwei Army, the Eighth Cavalry Army, the Youlongwu Army who fought against Li Maozhen's army, and Wang Jian's Zuo Shenwei Army were the real first-line troops, and the emperor used them most with confidence.

The Left and Right Shence Army had not actually fought any bad battles. Li Ye was not very confident about their specific combat strength. If there were other options for field battles, they would definitely not be on the front line. It would be no problem to use them to defend the city.

As for the Shanguo Army, His Majesty the Emperor was worried about using it to defend the city, so he had to send the imperial army to defend it.

Wang Rulin took the initiative to attack, which directly made His Majesty's recognition soar, so he can be cultivated as a general.

"Your Majesty, the prisoner Zhang Yu has been captured alive!"

"Strictly watch over!"

"promise!"

There is nothing to consider about Zhang Zhen's disposal. Even if the emperor wants to use this kind of cannibal demon, he will be very responsive. It is better to drag it to Chang'an, one knife and two sections, and the head will be passed on to the states to show the court's majesty.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, on the battlefield, the Hedong Army crazily snatched prisoners, armor, and weapons, and all the troops couldn't stop it!"

Li Ye frowned slightly, and said to Zhao Xi next to him: "Go and tell Li Kexiu, how can a little money get in your eyes, and order the Hedong Army to release the prisoners of war, come and join me quickly, and I will take him to eat meat."

"promise!"

Li Ye said to Li Jun again: "Order Fu Cun, let him take those Jingyuan army slaves to clean the battlefield, give priority to replenishing weapons and armor, identify the civilians among the captives, they can be released directly, Caizhou soldiers have tattoos on their faces, and the strong Pick them out first, and kill anyone who resists on the spot!"

"promise!"

"Wang Rulin's army doesn't have a bugle number yet!"

"Not yet!"

Li Ye thought about it, but he still felt that when Li Cunxiao arrived in Luoyang, he would break up the [-] Hedong Army and Wang Rulin's Army, divide them into two cavalry teams, and give the left and right army titles uniformly.

Li Ye asked Li Yun, "How long will Li Cunxiao be able to arrive in Luoyang?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, we have already arrived in Shanzhou, and there are still three or five days at most. Your Majesty, the last general will be rewarded. Concubine Zhu Yexian is also here?"

Li Ye nodded, Li Youtong was sent by him. Here, Li Kexiu and Li Siyuan are relatives of Li Youtong. With her as a lubricant, many things will be much more convenient.

As for why Concubine Li Xian is called Concubine Zhu Yexian, it is naturally Du Rangneng's handwriting. Li Keyong has already entered the clan genealogy. How can His Majesty the Emperor commit incest and adopt Li Youtong to his peers in the clan to restore Zhu Ye's nature? .

But at this time, in the camp of Cai's rear army, Qin Zongxin's complexion was as frosty. Three hundred cavalrymen were strangled under his nose within less than three miles.

Yang Delin, Marquis of Duyu, asked Qin Zongxin for a battle. He had three thousand cavalry, and now there are still more than two thousand men left. He was very angry.

Just when Qin Zongxin was about to order Yang Delin to lead the army to attack, his personal guards came to report.

"Marshal, there is a large group of enemy troops ahead!"

"what!"

Qin Zongxin's expression changed instantly, what does it mean for the enemy army to march in large numbers?He knew very well that it meant that most of the [-] forwards led by Zhang Xuan encountered an accident.

Qin Zongxin hurriedly walked to the front of the formation, saw the smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and roughly estimated the size and size of the army formation, Qin Zong was confident.

"About [-] to [-] infantry, ready to fight!"

But after a closer look, after the pawns, there was even more smoke and dust. Qin Zongxin watched for a few moments in front of the army formation, the scene in front of him gradually became clear, and his face gradually turned cold.

"Cavalry, cavalry, at least [-] to [-] cavalry!"

No wonder Qin Zongxin miscalculated. The sixth cavalry army and Li Siyuan's rampaging army mostly consisted of one man and two horses, but Wang Rulin's cavalry had one man and one horse. It was so far away and the smoke was so heavy. How could Qin Zongxin see if there was anyone on the horse? .

Qin Zongxin let out a sigh of relief, if [-] to [-] cavalry rushed over, how could they stop it? You must know that in this era, cavalry is like a tank, and the combat power is often only four or five infantry in formation to catch up.

"Resist the horse, form an array! Drive the servants to set up an army camp here and refuse to defend!"

Qin Zongxin hurriedly gave orders, and said to Yang Delin: "Send elite cavalry to report back to His Majesty, report the military situation, and send reinforcements quickly!"

"promise!"

Qin Xian said at the side: "You can't be a commander, this place is far away from the river. If you set up a camp here, the enemy will surround the camp, and within a few days, the army will collapse without water!"

Qin Zongxin shook his head and said: "The enemy's cavalry is in front. If the army moves, there must be gaps. If the enemy's fine cavalry comes to attack, what can we do? As for the water, Luoyang is rich in groundwater. As for dying of thirst!"

Qin Xiandao: "Commander, why doesn't the general know how to dig a well, but look at the terrain here!"

Only then did Qin Zongxin come to his senses. He had just climbed up and looked far away, and subconsciously brought the army to the high slope here. There might be a height difference of several feet from the river several miles away.

How is this good!
Now the mobile army is too late.

Qin Xiandao: "Commander, the last general is willing to lead the army behind the palace, and the commander will quickly lead the army to camp by the river."

Qin Zong calculated it confidently, shook his head, and said, "It's too late!"

Qin Xian looked in the direction Qin Zongxin was looking at. In the court cavalry brigade, a group of cavalry was being separated to go around behind his own army. No matter how fast the infantry ran, they could not catch up with the cavalry!
Qin Zongxin gritted his teeth and said, "It's a big deal to dig a little deeper. Your Majesty will arrive in three to five days at most. You will know when the time comes!"

Qin Xian nodded helplessly, that's all he could do.

When the infantry sees the cavalry, the only way is to line up and wait for the cavalry to attack. It is really impatient to move the army at this time.
