Chapter 682 Poor
When Guo Gong rushed into the formation, Guo Mo from behind could see it very clearly.
He carefully asked several times about the defeated soldiers who had been defeated before, and asked him who killed Lao Tian.
So, he handed the golden drum to the military deputy, and then led his hundreds of soldiers to rush through the narrow gaps between the formations.
On the way, some Leopard Tao army officials recognized Guo Mo and shouted.
This actually made Guo Mo's sneak attack tactics useless, so Guo Mo simply raised his iron spear openly and ran in front of everyone's attention.
Over there, the double-edged short ax in Guo Gong's hand had already cut through the edge of the axe. He put on the iron spear carried by the guard and stabbed several people with a roar.
At this moment, he also saw Guo Mo running towards him. Seeing the way that general walked like a tiger, he realized that he was a strong soldier.
But so what? The one who kills is the tough guy!
So he also brought his armored soldiers to kill them.
But just when he and Guo Mo were about to collide, Guo Mo suddenly made a sudden turn with his soldiers, and then retreated towards the outside of the battlefield, running faster and faster.
Guo Gong was confused, and his running speed also slowed down. He looked at Guo Mo's behavior in confusion, and suddenly he felt the earth shake.
Guo Gong stopped and looked to the northwest in confusion. Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and then he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Form up!"
But it was too late, a huge plume of smoke and dust rose up from the northwest and rolled towards them rapidly.
Accompanying them under the smoke and dust is a group of cavalry. They are equipped with horses and equipment. Although they only have a hundred cavalry, they have unrivaled power.
Hundreds of them rode together in one formation, each holding their horse poles flat, like a moving city wall, marching in formation towards Guo Gong and the others.
There was a loud crash, followed by a moment of chaos and wailing, and finally smoke and dust rose again. When the smoke and dust came to an end, only hundreds of mutilated corpses were left on the ground.
As for where Guo Gong is? Maybe it's here, maybe it's there, maybe it's always mixed with the soil.
After the hundred-man armored cavalry swept through Guo Gong's group unhurriedly, they continued to rush towards the Han army's front line without stopping.
At this time, Guo Gong's behavior of abandoning the deployment of infantrymen on the outside brought nightmares to the Han army.
Because there was no infantry hand brake, the armored cavalry of the Taishan Army ran into the Han Army's line very smoothly. They were like a sharp knife that burned blue and pierced into the fat at once.
It's so silky smooth.
No one could stand in front of the charging horse, let alone the horse that was covered in armor.
As a result, the collapse could no longer stop.
These powerful troops who fought out from the battlefield of Weihan were finally defeated by a group of armored cavalry that suddenly appeared on the battlefield. You can say this is unfair, it was the Taishan Army who mobilized troops from the rear and beheaded their chief general.
But this is the real battlefield, everything is for the final result, which is to win.
No one will tie their own hands and play gentleman's games with you. That is already a backward thing from ancient times.
In the chaotic rout, hundreds of armored cavalry rolled these people back to attack the rear line.
The Han troops in the rear also wanted to work hard, but steel and horsepower were ultimately more powerful than spirit. So after some of the Han troops who were holding on were knocked away, the rest joined the trend of retreating troops and fled towards the rear.
Originally, the three thousand Han troops were deployed in a frontal arrow formation, thick on the north and thin on the south.
So when the north began to retreat, the rolling of this snowball accelerated directly, and after a while, the entire line began to collapse.
At this time, the armored cavalry is useless.
Facing the completely collapsed Han army, the cavalry commander with hundreds of armored cavalry snorted, and then withdrew from the battlefield with this heavy cavalry.
Before leaving, they specially walked along the outside of the valley gate to show off their illustrious martial arts to the officials on the tower.
The commander-in-chief said that he wanted to give those Han officials a small shock.
Sure enough, when they withdrew their formation, all the Han officials were silent at the valley gate. If they hadn't been sitting on chariots and beds, they would have made a fool of themselves.
It was too bloody and brutal.
Why are there such armored cavalry? And why does this armored cavalry belong to the Taishan Army?
At this moment, the impact of the armored cavalry on these Han officials was something they would never forget.
In their eyes, just a few hundred armored cavalrymen could crush a battalion of up to 3,000 elite soldiers. Such power was simply a nightmare.
……
The Han army collapsed across the board, and the armored cavalry also withdrew from the battlefield, but the war was not over yet.
For the officials of Leopard Tao Army, the joy of chasing death and chasing north has really begun.
Perhaps it is the memory brought by people from ancient times when they were hunting. Things running with their backs to them always arouse men's desire to chase.
At this moment, the officials from each camp dispersed and began to capture prisoners.
The armored cavalry charge was brutal just now, but it actually didn't kill many people, in fact hundreds. Therefore, more than 2,000 Han soldiers broke up their formation and began to rush towards the capital in the rear.
At this time, the work on the sudden ride originally arranged by Guo Mo on this line has started. Originally, they were to prevent and contain the enemy troops in Kyoto from leaving the city to support the Han troops.
But obviously, the captain had a high opinion of those Han soldiers.
Throughout the war, they remained as spectators.
They first watched the fierce fighting at the front, and then watched with excitement as the army's powerful armored cavalry swept across the battlefield. Until now, the Han army collapsed across the board.
It was finally their turn.
Under the vigorous pursuit of these sudden cavalry, at least half of the retreating Han soldiers were intercepted.
But there were still a large number of rebels pouring in outside the gate of Gucheng, crowding the horse racing track outside the gate.
These people were also good warriors with martial arts before, but at this moment they are very humble.
They kept shouting to the top of the city, longing for the valley gate to be opened in the city.
But no one agreed with them.
The ministers at the top of the city issued a death order to Zhu Jun not to open the city gates and let the rebels enter the city.
In fact, Zhu Jun also fell silent, and he did not dare to open the door.
If there is a fully-organized army under the city tower, he will open the door to accept them no matter how much the ministers object.
Because the preparation is there, the organization is there. Even if there are enemy troops chasing behind, each unit can still circulate to the rear and enter the city one by one.
The Han soldiers on the top of the city still had a high altitude advantage and could stop the enemy troops outside the horse racing track.
But now, there is a broken army under the city tower.
Although the defeated soldiers were also soldiers, to be honest, they were no longer human beings. They were just a group of beasts. Already occupied by fear, they would just swarm into the city gate.
By then, let alone not many people who can actually enter the city, don't even think about closing the valley gate again.
But the truth is indeed such a truth, but...
But these people below are all his Zhu Jun’s old subordinates! He is the disciple with whom he has a life-and-death relationship in Weihan!
They also went out to fight under his orders. Did he really want to watch them die?
Just when Zhu Jun was in a dilemma, the defeated troops below the city also saw their commander, so they shouted in various local voices:
"Commander, open the city gate quickly!"
"Commander, are you going to abandon me?" "Commander, in the battle of Xin'an, I led your horse and fought to the death with your flag!"
"Commander, look at us!"
……
Such voices kept coming and going, making Zhu Jun's heart become more and more chaotic.
He grasped the battlements with both hands, watched the wailing of his disciples, and finally let go.
But at this moment, the Taishan Army approached. For these people, they did not raise their butcher knives, but shouted:
"The puppet government has abandoned you and others, so don't be stubborn and surrender, and we will be treated leniently."
At first, only the outermost Han soldiers surrendered with hesitation.
In the eyes of countless ministers, surrendering to the enemy in order to survive is of course a humiliating thing, but who told you not to open the city gate?
But soon more and more Han army officials discovered that the Taishan Army actually did what they said.
Thus, widespread surrender began.
At this time, when they saw the large-scale surrender of the Han army on the city tower, the ministers could not sit still and asked Zhu Jun to order the shooting of the Han army below the city.
At first, all the Han generals were stunned, not understanding what this operation was?
Isn't it enough to shoot Paoze in front of the soldiers because he was afraid that the morale of the army would collapse?
At this time, they looked at Zhu Jun, but what was puzzling was that Zhu Jun, who was worried about the life and death of his disciples just now, was silent now.
So everyone present understood.
At this difficult moment, Zheng Tai stood up and said to Zhu Jun:
"Commander, I am from Gyeonggi, and I will be the villain."
After speaking, he ordered his Gyeonggi soldiers to throw arrows at the Han soldiers below.
The people below were wailing all over the place, completely disbelieving that their own master would aim the arrow at him, and he would not rest in peace.
In fact, the logic of all this is very simple. Since these Han soldiers cannot be rescued, don't even think about being won over by the Taishan Army.
As a result, a strange scene appeared under Gumen City.
Inside, the Han army was massacring their own troops, while outside, the Taishan army was rescuing the enemy who had just faced them on the battlefield.
Whether it's friend or foe, it's really fickle.
……
The sky was full of curses mixed with screams and wails, and it didn't end until the last Han soldier fell under the arrows of his own family.
Unfortunately, the Taishan Army could only save nearby people, but could do nothing to help the Han Army who had already rushed behind the horse racing track.
They just watched quietly as the Han army slaughtered their own people.
In the crowd, Guo Mo was also gritting his teeth. He thought he was very strict in running the army, but compared with Zhu Jun, he was really far behind.
He sighed to his nephew Wang Xian:
"This Zhu Jun is also a ruthless man. I heard that in Runan, the Yellow Turban Army alone killed hundreds of thousands of people. But he was ruthless to the surrendered soldiers. He was so ruthless to his own people. He is really not a thing. ”
After speaking, Guo Mo spit on the ground.
Wang Xian said with disdain:
"What kind of ruthless person? I think he is a coward! When he holds the knife, he treats human life as nothing. When I put the knife on his neck later, I will see if he will treat his own life as nothing!"
< br>
After Wang Xian said this, Guo Mo slapped him on the head and heard his uncle curse:
"Didn't I tell you not to charge so fiercely? If you die here, how will I explain to my mother? You have also been in the limelight today. You can stay in the camp to wash your horses for the rest of the war."
Wang Xian was unconvinced and was about to retaliate, but Guo Mo ignored him and withdrew with his guards.
Wang Xian was left so angry that he kicked away the pebbles and went to tell the story about the prisoner's mouth with a slumped face.
This time, the prisoner was very honest and showed no resistance at all.
These elite soldiers of the Han family all lowered their heads at this moment. Their eyes, covered by their long hair, were so dim.
They still don't believe that the people in the city would shoot their own robes.
What they were even more frightened about was whether they would be the ones shot to death if they had run faster just now.
Once they understood this possibility, these Han soldiers who survived the disaster felt inexplicably grateful to the Taishan Army.
They didn't need ropes, they lined up and followed the Taishan Army to evacuate outside the valley gate. They didn't want to stay here anymore, and they didn't dare to look at the people under the city who were still waiting for death.
Some people were walking and burst into tears.
The Taishan Army who was guarding them also fell silent, and felt some pity for these Han soldiers.
Yes, it's really pitiful. I was sold out by my own boss twice in one day.
Too bad!
At this time, an accident happened.
Chang Optimus, who had been tightly closed, suddenly opened the wall door, and then a general in white clothes and white robes knelt at the wall door holding a seal and ribbon talisman.
Be optimistic and surrender.
Today is really a good day for Guo Mo!
……
On March 22, the battle finally came to an end as the Taishan Army captured the last barrier in Luobei.
Under the setting sun, the prisoners were held in various camps and returned home in armor. In the camp, delicious meals have been prepared to reward these warriors.
On the battlefield, thousands of corpses were piled up on the road, and only a small number of Taishan soldiers and civilians were collecting the corpses for them.
Unfortunately, because they were fighting in enemy territory, the Taishan Army did not have enough civilians to collect the corpses of the Han soldiers. It was destined that many human corpses would become rations for wild beasts that night.
The last light of the setting sun was quickly swallowed up by darkness.
On the Taishan Army side, there are countless lights under Beimang Mountain, which illuminate the place like daylight. From time to time, you can hear victory songs sung by each battalion.
But the Kyoto in the sky, which has always been known as the city that never sleeps, was dim this night, as if light and darkness had shifted at this moment.
The intersection of darkness and light is a silent metaphor here.
The next day, dawn broke.
After having enough battlefield space, the Taishan Army began to move its various units to the corresponding defense lines, and finally completed a complete siege of Kyoto.
Today, there is no war.
On March 24, it rained heavily, so the troops stayed in the camp to rest and maintain their weapons and bows.
On March 25, the weather cleared up, and the armies laid straw on the wet battlefield and smoothed the roads. There was no fighting that day.
On March 26, the Taishan Army continued to rest after a tiring day.
On March 28, it was very hot, and the wet battlefield was dried hard by the sun. The craftsmen in the camp also built the stone cart. The five-day truce had already sharpened the morale of the Taishan Army. Sharp and sharp.
So, on this day, it’s time to fight!
