Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 65
Li Kerang originally wanted to plunder in Luzhou, earn a lot of money and then withdraw.I had to report that a group of soldiers under my command had clashed with the Youlongwu army of the imperial court. I was very happy and said to myself: "This time I can make a fortune again."

"As long as the 1000 members of the Youlongwu Army are killed, Du Rangneng will be afraid of that old dog, and he will definitely use money to appease the hearts of the brothers."

Li Kerang has seen this routine a lot. Back then when Jieshuai led them to plunder Chang'an, the Imperial Army came to stop them. If one was killed, the court would be obedient.

The imperial court entered Luzhou with a total of 1 people, and killing 1000 of them would not be a big deal, and Du Rang Neng could be slapped severely.

Even if Jieshuai asks about this matter, he can avoid the imperial army's provocation first and torture and kill my soldiers from the east of the river, which forces me to wait for the big sword. Although we all know what's going on, who cares.

"Beat the drums, gather troops!"

Gathered all the soldiers who were scattered and looting, ordered 500 people, and killed them directly on Xing'an Street. Halfway through, they saw Du Rang Neng wanting to meet and explain, but Li Kerang ignored him and rode straight through, throwing Du Rang Neng the back of his head.

Just kidding, if Du Rang can persuade you, how will you know me, Li Kerang, in the future? It's not so easy to mess with.

"The Hedong army is so arrogant, how can this be good!"

Seeing the soldiers and horses roaring past in Hedong, Du Rangneng was very anxious.

"Quick, hurry to the Youlongwu army camp."

The Youlongwu Army camped in the west of Luzhou City, and only sent the Eighth Capital to escort Du Rangneng into Luzhou City.

The Eighth Capital clashed with Li Kerang's army, and Cao Guangping reported it to Wu Zhan. In order to prevent any changes, Wu Zhan hurriedly ordered the entire army to withdraw from camp and prepare to enter the city at any time, and arranged for a messenger to notify Du Rangneng.

Before leaving, he saw that Du Rangneng had already arrived at the gate of the military village. The matter was urgent, and the two of them had not entered the account, so they discussed at the military gate.

"The last general is ready and can enter the city at any time, subject to Duke Du's order."

Du Rangneng was also hesitant. If he led troops into the city, what should he do if the Hedong soldiers attack the Youlongwu army again? Although the Hedong army stationed in Luzhou has only [-] horse troops, the combat power of the Hedong army is well known all over the world. .

If Youlongwuwei enters the city, what if a bigger conflict breaks out? If Youlongwujun is gone, even if he dies, he will not be to blame.

Du Rangneng already had the intention of abandoning the Eighth Capital.

"Duke, give the order quickly! I'm afraid it won't be too late!"

"Commander Wu, first listen to the old man..."

…………

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep

"What's that sound?"

"Damn, this is the voice of the East Horse Team, these bastards!"

Cao Guangping looked in the direction of the voice, and a puff of smoke rose up and was blown away by the wind.His face became serious, and he was very suspicious, the people in Hedong didn't want to annihilate them, did they!

But when the Eighth Capital entered the city, it was not equipped with supplies for the battle, and the heavy vehicles were left in the camp outside the city, and the soldiers under him were not prepared to clash with the Hedong Army.

Fortunately, someone brought some caltrops, and besides the large shield and spear, they had some means of repelling horses.

"Shield soldiers in front, shield soldiers in front, set up the formation!"

Cao Guangping was afraid that these bastards would kill him, so he hurriedly made arrangements first.

It is not the first time for the Youlongwu army to face cavalry. Naturally, cavalry is the most dangerous for them, that is, when they are rushing into battle. As long as they resist, the cavalry will become the target of infantry after the speed of the cavalry slows down. .

Cao Guangping lined up along both sides of the market, leaving three empty passages, strewn with caltrops on the empty passages, before the preparations stopped, someone shouted: "Hedong Army is here."

"Hedong Army is here!"

At the corner of the street, I saw the soldiers and horses of Hedong, and there were more and more people.

This group of Hedong cavalry had no intention of negotiating with the Youlongwu Army at all. After finishing their formation, they immediately chose to charge.

"This……"

Cao Xingping didn't expect the Hedong army to be so shameless, and they did it as soon as they said they would.

"Shield soldiers move forward, refuse horses!"

Cao Guangping yelled loudly. Seeing that the Hedong cavalry were approaching in no time, Lieutenant General Xiao Jun took a large shield and walked to the front of the team.The spear is stuck on the shield, and the handle of the spear supports the shield to prevent people from being directly hit by the horse when lifting the shield.

"Hurry up, raise your shield, the spearmen will be behind and the archers will be ready."

Wait for the Hedong Army to enter the range of the archers.

At this time, the saber was up to his neck, Cao Guangping didn't care about other things, and quickly ordered: "Let the arrow."

A row of arrows flew straight to the Hedong Army in front of them.

It was also Cao Guangping's first time fighting against the Hedong cavalry. The horse heads and chests of the cavalry charging ahead were all wearing armor.Seeing that the soldiers from the east of the river saw the arrows shooting towards their own side, they fell directly on the horseback and blocked their bodies behind the armor.

Most of the arrows shot on the armor, making a squeak...cough sound, but they also shot over a few cavalry, and even the cavalry behind who couldn't slow down quickly fell down more than a dozen soldiers.

"Hedong soldiers are indeed brave, much stronger than Li Maozhen's cavalry."

Before Cao Guangping finished expressing his emotions, those Hedong soldiers who were lying on their horses to avoid the arrows suddenly stood up, and in the gap between the archers of Badu, they put their bows on their horses and released their arrows in one go, almost at the same time. , Hundreds of arrows shot at the soldiers of the eight capitals from the horse.

There were quite a few swordsmen in Badu, and the archers were not under the protection of the big shield. Suddenly, more than a hundred people were shot and fell down.

Cao Guangping bit his lower lip tightly, pulled out his waist, and said to the left and right: "Fight the handsome flag of Bendu, and come forward with Bendu."

His morale was frustrated, and he was duty-bound as a commander. Cao Guangping kept staring at the cavalrymen in front of him. Those cavalrymen who were about to join the battle calmly put their bows and arrows behind them and drew out their sabers. Some of them still held two swords... …

Going to fight...

Li Kerang was in the rear, also observing the Imperial Guards. According to his guess, when the sound of horseshoes sounded, the gang of soft-footed shrimps should have fled!
No, not until now, very unusual, then let the general's cavalry smash you all to pieces!

There was a fierce light in Li Kerang's eyes.

boom……

bang... bang...

Familiar scenes, the sound of a large shield colliding with a cavalry.

There were spear handles on both sides of the big shield, but the horse was still stopped. The cavalry on the top couldn't catch up, and jumped out from above the horse's head, fell into the formation, rolled over, drew their swords, and slashed at the Badu soldiers. Two people were killed.

One was stabbed in the stomach and another had his leg cut off.

The round shield soldiers hurried forward, and together with the wolf soldiers, pushed the bandit soldiers back. The spear soldiers looked for an opportunity to stab and harvested the man's head.

The cavalry who chose to charge from the open space were also dumbfounded at this time. The dense barbed caltrops on the ground were very conspicuous. The black barbed caltrops fell on the yellow soil, like dense pockmarks growing on a human face.

The rear team catches up with the front team, and it is impossible for the cavalry in the front to stop. If they step on it, they will kill themselves.

Cao Guangping once again saw the bravery of the Hedong soldiers.

Facing the barbed wire, just shake the horse rope lightly, and the horse rushed to the nearby army formation.

boom……
