Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 36 The plan to capture Wang Xingyu alive
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky blood red.

Thick smoke mixed with smoke and dust made Sun Dezhao seem to have returned to a few years ago...

At that time, Huang Chao's army had just captured Tongguan, and the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops of the imperial court collapsed and became bandits overnight, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

The emperor fled in a hurry.

And he could only follow in embarrassment.

Sun Dezhao remembered very clearly that a team of hundreds of outposts sent by Huang Chao defeated its [-] magic trick army.

At that time, he was also charging, but his robe abandoned him.

But now, he is doing the same thing, but the target has become Li Maozhen, the powerful soldier in the feudal town who was once considered invincible in his eyes.

The horses are galloping, and the blood is boiling again.

He no longer feels lonely, his robes follow closely, although their horsemanship is not good, although most of them are fighting for the first time, although they may be like him, exciting and frightening...

But the big victory just now gave them an indomitable momentum.

"kill!"

The scimitar pierced into the flesh, and the huge shock force almost caused him to drop the weapon from his hand. Yes, just at that moment, while the soldiers around him harvested a wave of corpses, their weapons also flew into the sky.

But this didn't affect anything, the bandits in front of them only wanted to escape, leaving their backs to the scimitar.

puff!
Sun Dezhao chopped off a human head, and blood gushed out, drenching him all over.

The bandit soldier in front looked back and tried to block with a weapon. Seeing this appearance, his dull eyes seemed to freeze at this moment. He watched helplessly as his head flew into the air, landed on the ground again, and was trampled by a horse's hoof. It's a mess.

"Soldiers, Li Maozhen is right in front of you, kill him!"

"kill!"

Sun Dezhao narrowed his eyes slightly. At this moment, he saw that the rebel soldiers had separated out more than a thousand cavalry, and it seemed that they were about to cut off their rear.

These more than a thousand horsemen should be regarded as the elite of Li Maozhen's cavalry. The horse's chest and face are all covered with armor.

The rider is also well-trained, keeping most of his body behind the horse, with the blade showing a cold light, and the tip of the knife is slightly backward.

The rider charges, and after the horse speeds up, there is no need to slash at all, as long as the blade is sent to the enemy soldier's body, the huge momentum can split the opponent.

Only Lengtouqing, who had just entered the battlefield, raised his weapon and slashed, and often he couldn't hold the weapon after the impact.

coming!A moment of close combat.

After being able to line up in a hurry, Sun Dezhao's face was more dignified.

"puff!"

"what!"

"boom!"

The sound of the blade cutting the body, accompanied by the screams of the soldiers, and the blood raining down, the whole battlefield is like a purgatory on earth.

Sun Dezhao narrowed his body tensely, barely dodging the bandit's weapon, but his mount was not lucky, and a long blood line was pulled out from his neck.

In one hedge, four or five hundred robes fell off his horse.

Sun Dezhao didn't have a good time seeing the bandits. After all, there were too many bandits on his side, and if he fought one out of three or four, he killed half of the bandits.

Although everyone suffered about the same casualties, it used to be four thousand against one thousand, but now it has become three thousand five against five hundred, and my side has a greater advantage.

Sun Dezhao looked at his war horse, his neck was stained red with blood, and he was struggling to support it.

Looking at Li Maozhen who was running away in a hurry hundreds of steps away, she secretly sighed that she had no chance to do such a great work.

After dealing with these more than [-] people, I don't know if we can catch up.

Sun Dezhao did not choose to charge immediately.

He rode a horse, paced to the front of the formation, and shouted: "Get off the horse and don't kill!"

The soldiers behind him shouted, "Get off your horse and don't kill me!"

Sun Dezhao had more than [-] troops, and his momentum was overwhelming. Even Li Maozhen, who was hundreds of steps away, could hear clearly. He couldn't help but look back, his liver and gallbladder were torn, he hurriedly waved his horsewhip, and fled westward at top speed.

It can be seen that behind the dirt slope in front, a rider and a horse are revealed.

Li Maozhen's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

……

The big swords in the hands of the original Hedong cavalry were already hungry and thirsty.

Zhu Yezinu, the commander of the Zuowu cavalry guards, led five hundred cavalry from the east of the river, rushed to Li Maozhen's army with a knife, and inserted Li Maozhen's commander-in-chief's flag.

Although Zhu Yezinu only had 500 people, although Li Maozhen still had more than [-] people.

Fengxiang's soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the generals had no fighting spirit. When they encountered the Hedong jackals, the cavalry was dispersed immediately, and the troops scattered and fled.

Someone in the army has appointed Li Maozhen himself to Zhu Yezinu, and the Hedong Army surrounded Li Maozhen.

Li Maozhen lowered her eyelids and took a deep breath.

Lost!The defeat is inexplicable, and the defeat is convinced.

When did the imperial court have such a strong army?

Regret, if I had known earlier, I would not have opposed the imperial court and be my own emperor in Fengxiang, wouldn't it be nice.

Li Maozhen threw the weapon on the ground and dismounted slowly. At this moment, it seemed that all the strength in her body was drained, and she fell limply on the ground...

……

Just as the imperial army cleared up the battlefield and began to deal with the aftermath, the spies and envoys sent by Wang Xingyu returned to the camp one after another.

"What, Li Maozhen was defeated and was captured alive by the imperial army?"

Wang Xingyu suddenly felt that the situation was serious, and there must be something he didn't know about it.

Could it be that other feudal towns obey the imperial edict?Lead soldiers to serve the king.

Li Keyong, Wang Chongying or Zhu Wen?

There are only a few capable ones around, any more will be far away, Wei Bo, Ganyi Army, Tianping Army... they don't listen to the imperial edict very much.

As for Huazhou next door, at this time Han Jian, Wang Xingyu naturally knew everything about it, and Han Jian's bastard went to Chang'an, and Wang Xingyu naturally knew what the hell he was up to.

"You will tell us all about the situation."

The emissary will enter the account, when the imperial army attacked, and when he was fleeing, he saw the imperial cavalry chasing Li Maozhen, and finally the imperial ambush captured Li Maozhen alive, and reported to Wang Xingyu one by one.

"That's not imperial cavalry at all..."

"No?" Wang Xingyu seemed to have caught something? "How do you determine that it's not a court cavalry?"

The envoy said: "The court cavalry is not that fierce, especially the four or five hundred cavalry who captured Li Maozhen were even more powerful. With one charge, they defeated more than 2000 cavalry guards of Li Maozhen and directly captured Li Maozhen alive."

"call!"

How about Li Maozhen's soldiers and horses?Naturally, Wang Xingyu knew that the most elite Fengxiang Army was Li Maozhen's yamen army, all guarded by armored cavalry.

Such a strong soldier could not stop the charge of five hundred cavalry.

Wang Xingyu believed the envoy's words completely, and he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat behind him.

If he had [-] soldiers and horses, and faced such an army, he would probably be caught without a fight.

The most capable cavalry in the world is naturally the Hedong cavalry.

Wang Xingyu has concluded that Li Keyong must have come to Chang'an secretly.

In this way, the train of thought became clear, and Wang Xingyu couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Fortunately, there was no war with the court before.

In the imperial court, from the emperor to the ministers, Wang Xingyu was very clear about the attitude towards the Hedong Army.

To put it bluntly, the imperial court used Li Ke of the Hedong Army as a urinal, and when it was needed, it was used for emergency treatment, and when it was not needed, love stayed where it was. .

The Hedong Army will definitely leave.

Compared with Li Keyong, Wang Xingyu is naturally a great loyal minister.Moreover, around Chang'an, he seemed to be the only reliance of the imperial court.

Li Maozhen was defeated, Feng Xiangkong came out, can we fight for it...

I brought [-] soldiers and horses to help the court "put down the rebellion". Although I didn't win a battle, the court wants to reward it...
