Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 33
"Report, the first school, the second school, the fifth school, and the ninth school have exhausted their bows and arrows."

"Report, there is a shortage of short spears in all schools."

"Report, Xingping Street is in an emergency, requesting reinforcements."

"Reinforcement, where did the reinforcements come from? Choose young and strong to fill the army, and you must defend it."

"promise!"

Fang Rang pulled out the weapon inserted in the bandit soldier's stomach, and wiped it casually with the clothes on the enemy soldier's dead body, forcing his scarlet eyes.

I was so tired that I didn't sleep for nearly four days and nights, and occasionally took a rest when the enemy soldiers retreated.

In turn, the enemy's offensive was urgent, and they had to guard against the catapults of the bandits, and the soldiers wanted to kill them out of the range of the catapults.

Looking around at the remnant soldiers, almost everyone was wounded, and all of them lost their eyesight.

Is this the end?
Maybe wait until the bandits charge next time.

They are all going to die here.

Fang Rang braced his body with the saber, turned around and said to the officers and men, "Masters, it's fortunate that I will die with you today.

Rest assured, everyone, the imperial court will not fail us, our family is small, although we are not rich and rich, we have no worries about food and clothing, I am willing to be satisfied. "

"Kill the enemy!"

The thieves arrived, this time there were five hundred troops in front of them, all the soldiers held up their weapons and shouted "Kill the enemy!"

The formation of more than fifty remnants was not chaotic, the shield soldiers were in front, the spearmen were behind, the bows and arrows were all shot, and the archers threw the long-handed workers into the flames. Even if they died, they could not let the weapons in their hands fall into the hands of the bandits. Picking up the weapon of the dead robe Ze, he followed behind the army formation with his arms.

bang...

There was a dull crashing sound, and two shield soldiers were exhausted, and they were immediately knocked down by the bandit soldiers, followed by the round shield soldiers behind them, and the spearmen stabbing behind them.

The screams suddenly broke out.

Fang Rang was used to it, used to the screams, and the smell of blood. He subconsciously waved his weapon at the bandit soldiers, and the robes around him fell down one by one, and the shield soldiers couldn't hold it anymore. With a big hole, the bandits drove straight in...

boom……

Boom...boom...boom...

boom……

Fang Rang's expression cleared up and he shouted!

"This is Datang's marching drum. Reinforcements are coming."

"The reinforcements are coming!"

The spirit of the remnants lifted, and their morale soared.

Fang Rang raised his knife and slashed at the intruding bandits.

"Straight mother thief, go to them and die!"

All of them were soaked in blood, like killing gods, and more than [-] remnants blocked the gap.Blocked the attack of hundreds of people.

"The enemy soldiers have retreated."

"The thieves have retreated."

Fang Rang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bandit soldiers slowly retreating back to the army.

He couldn't hold it any longer, and then passed out.

The long knife fell to the ground with a thump...

…………

You Shenwu Army, You Shence Army, You Longwu Army, nearly 6000 people from the three armies, lined up in three square formations, forming a battle formation with the word "Pin", and headed towards the west gate.

Li Ye was accompanied by 500 Zuowu Cavalry Guards, who were elite soldiers from Hedong. After the scouts returned, Li Ye took them into his hands immediately.

Sun Dezhao led seven cavalry guards to wait for dispatch.

Li Ye looked ahead, Li Maozhen's infantry had already lined up a hundred steps outside the west gate.

This fellow Li Maozhen had already left the city, so of course it was expected, the actions of the imperial army could not be concealed.

Li Ye ordered Zuozhi Jinwu to wave the red battle flag, the army stopped advancing immediately, and formed a formation on the spot.

Success or failure depends on one action, whether the large infantry formation can withstand the assault of Li Maozhen's cavalry.

Li Ye's confidence is not too strong.

He secretly thought in his heart that if he wins this battle, he must set up a temple to worship Grandpa Qi.

He also ordered the soldiers to go to the south gate, north gate, and east gate, and ordered all the armies in the city to gather at the south gate after clearing out the remnants of the enemy.

"promise!"

As soon as the messenger left, Li Ye felt the ground shaking slightly.

"The bandit cavalry is dispatched."

Li Ye saw the Shenwei Army on the right and the Longwu Army on the right in front of them, and the horse-drawn chariot formation in front of the army had not yet been completed.

"The thief cavalry wants to take advantage of our army's foothold and charge first."

Sun Dezhao stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please Xu Chen lead the troops to charge and kill."

Li Ye shook his head, not yet.

Li Maozhen's cavalry trotted all the way, approaching the infantry formation.

The unprecedented pressure was concentrated on the infantry formation, especially the soldiers in the front rows. If these cavalry rushed over, how many of them would survive.

Zheng Xin, the commander of the Youlongwu Army, gritted his teeth and moved the general flag to the middle of the army formation.

He didn't know what to say to the soldiers, but he wanted all the soldiers to see that their chief officer was with them.

"There are still two hundred steps to go!"

The thief cavalry accelerated suddenly.

Boo... Boo... Boo...

Huang Yu, the commander of the Shenwu Army on the right, yelled: "Hold on, shields are in front, archers and short spearmen are ready, hold on..."

"Anyone who dares to retreat, kill!"

"Fifty steps!"

"Archers, short spearmen, let go!"

A round of arrows rushed towards the bandit cavalry, many bandit soldiers fell off their horses, and some even affected the cavalry behind, but they were quickly avoided by the brigade.

"It's time for battle!"

boom!There was a muffled sound of physical impact.

More than a hundred shield soldiers were even pushed directly into the air.

Losing their defensive position, the others in the formation were at a loss and were about to flee in a hurry.

The commander of the school he belonged to quickly drew a knife and beheaded one person, and said loudly: "Go to the other formation, black dog, have you forgotten what I told you, you will die faster if you run away!"

These people's minds were buzzing, and they were about to run subconsciously. They were stopped by the officer, and they hurriedly found the nearest team to line up.

As long as the mind is clear, running away in this situation, without cover around, can only be the target of the thief cavalry.

"Form, line, keep in line!"

"The shield soldiers are in front, hurry up, block the cavalry!"

"Damn Lu San, you are a dog, I stabbed his mother with a spear."

"Huang Bin of the dog day, Bai has grown into such a big man, take the shield for me!"

"kill!"

From time to time, cavalry fell off their horses. As long as the speed of the cavalry could not increase, the threat was not great.

Li Ye saw that the formation of the Youlongwu Army and the Right Shenwu Army hadn't been pierced. Although the two armies had been beaten into depressions, they were not in chaos, and a big stone fell from his heart.

More than [-] Li Maozhen's cavalry charged into the formation. The front soldiers were blocked, and the rear troops gradually slowed down and gradually lost their momentum.

The advantage of bandits is reduced immediately.

"Where is Sun Dezhao, the governor?"

"The end is here!"

"Attack the rear of the bandit cavalry, I want to keep Li Maozhen's cavalry behind!"

"promise!"

"Where is the dedication of the Right Shence Army?"

"The end is here!"

"Lead the entire Shence army on the right, advance from the left wing, and stare at the bandit infantry on the opposite side."

"promise!"

Li Ye pressed all the last reserves of troops, thinking that as long as the cavalry was eaten up, the infantry would not be a problem.

Li Maozhen's infantry lined up at the west gate, but the formation did not move, so it was about a thousand paces.

Even if the infantry attacked, with more than [-] people from the Youshence Army watching, at least they could buy some time.

Li Ye stepped on his horse, led five hundred cavalrymen from the right cavalry guard, waved the yellow flag, and pressed forward.
