Chapter 80 Deathstroke

.

The unparalleled impact of the heavy cavalry Black Cloud Long Sword made the Song army's infantry formation sink into a big pit. However, Wan Yan did not expect to defeat the Song people's infantry formation this time. He slightly deflected the horse's head and swept the Song army with an iron spear on his side. All the Black Cloud Cavalry followed his horse's head and swept out an arc at the weakest point of the Song people's military formation. Although hundreds of cavalry fell off and died during the process, the soldiers in front of the Song army really felt the terribleness of the Black Cloud Long Sword and the formation was inevitably loose.

Not far from the Song army formation, the horses were returned. Seeing that the mounts that were usually reluctant to use began to stick out their tongues and whisper, showing signs of fatigue, but they did not feel pity. They squeezed their legs and rushed towards the Song army formation again. This attack only brought nearly 60% of the knights to attack, and the remaining more than 200 most elite knights were only waiting and watching from a distance.

Just now, by running in front of the Song army formation, Ji Yan and other Black Cloud Cavalry Generals had a rough understanding of the weakest parts of the Song army formation. This time, they rushed in with a wedge-shaped cavalry. Ji Yan brought the most powerful cavalry as an arrow and rushed forward, staminaing that he would not stop until he rushed through the Song army infantry formation.

Although the array of infantry has a huge advantage in stopping the impact of the cavalry, the decisive impact of cavalry like Black Clouds is not something that the infantry of this era can bear. The Song army infantry in front of them began to stumble and retreat, relying on their flesh and blood to absorb the kinetic energy of the cavalry's rushing little by little.

Just as the speed of the Heiyundu Cavalry gradually slowed down, the two hundred Black Cloud Cavalry who had watched the battle earlier rushed out of the flesh and blood alley, and the cavalry in the front gave up the arrow position. Under the protection of the two wings of the cavalry, two more than a hundred cavalrymen successfully exchanged arrow positions. The heavily armored Black Cloud Cavalry really broke through the Song army's infantry formation with only three attacks, while Chen De and other Divine Guards followed the two hundred Black Cloud Cavalry who rushed in, and rushed past the Song army's interception after only a dozen people died.

While riding his horse, Chen De looked back. The wounded Liu Yan casually broke the tail of the arrow inserted into the cracks of the armor. While rectifying Shang Yu's more than 300 Black Cloud Cavalrymen were about to be attacked on the Song army formation again. He couldn't help but feel sad and secretly swore that one day he would rebuild the Black Cloud Capital and intimidate all directions with the name of Black Cloud Sword.

What Chen De didn't see clearly was that Wan Yan's eyes were hit by a runny arrow, and his face was full of blood. If the arrow had not been weakened, it would have almost penetrated the back of his head. It would have affected the morale of the army. Wan Yan immediately pulled the arrow out of his eye socket. The Song people used the arrow with barbs and pulled out the eyeballs in one hand, and put the veins softly on the left cheek. This Wan Yan was also a bloody courage. He immediately endured the pain, pulled out his dagger to cut the eyeballs, and threw it away.

He swallowed it in his mouth. The heart-wrenching pain made him exhausted. Looking at the distance, the entire team of Song army infantry attacking, and the Yunqi Army, who were quickly overtaking the infantry, seemed to be shrouded in a blood mist. A large flag wrote "The camps in the west of the Southern Conquest of Shengzhou in the Song Dynasty" and was shaking rapidly. Under the urging of this military flag, the Song army quickly approached the escaped Tang army.

Wan Yan looked around and saw that most of the Black Cloud Cavalry were injured and the horses under their crotch were exhausted, but everyone looked at him with a firm look. A tooth army took out the Hei Cloud's flag from his arms, put it under the head of the iron spear, and stood behind Wan Yan. The high-rise flag was fluttering in the wind, and the red one was like blood stains.

Feeling the warm vitality seemed to be lost from his chest little by little. Ji Yan sucked in a breath of cold air, then held his breath, leaving the last power on his body. His only remaining right eye stared at the flag that was shining with his might and shouted loudly: "Kill Cao Bin!" He clamped his legs hard. The good horse under his crotch was in harmony with his master, and also burst out with a last trace of strength, running forward like an arrow, and the three hundred cavalry also beat the horse closely behind Ji Yan, launching a final attack on the Song army's general flag.

The Black Cloud Cavalry, who had plucked up the last trace of strength and courage, rushed towards the Song army formation one after another. Before they had contacted the infantry, they were intercepted by the Yun Cavalry first. Because the Black Clouds charged directly to the main general, the Yun Cavalry, with relatively thin armor, could not avoid it, and could only block the Black Cloud Cavalry head-on. When the cavalry on both sides passed by, the Yun Cavalry was often stabbed off the horse by an iron spear, and the Black Cloud Cavalry only swayed on the horse. Even so, the Yun Cavalry, who had taken advantage of the Black Cloud Cavalry in the past, paid a heavy price, and did not retain the heavy cavalry who was determined to move forward.

However, fatigue and the number of people were small, the black cloud cavalry that rushed out of the Yunqin Army to intercept were less than a hundred cavalry. Cao Bin, in the Song army's central army formation, looked at the Black Cloud Cavalry who was struggling forward desperately despite the exhaustion of horsepower, and sneered: "What a reckless man! What a pity for these passionate men!" He waved his hand and ordered the spearmen and signs who had already gathered to step forward, and the crossbow was waiting to be fired.

At that time, there was a saying in the Song army that flower suits and pure teams. Flower suits mean that a team of troops are equipped with various military weapons, while pure teams refer to a team of troops that are equipped with only spears, crossbows and other generals. The debate about which flower suits and pure teams are more conducive to the development of combat power continued until the Mongolian Yuan destroyed the Song Dynasty, and according to the preferences of each general. The troops brought by Cao Bin this time were originally full of flower suits, so when Heiyundu charged for the first time, he did not encounter a strict gun and shield formation. However, how did Cao Bin, a famous general who had been in the battlefield for a long time, not know how to use infantry to control cavalry? He had just underestimated the enemy before. After seeing the powerful impact of the Black Cloud Cavalry, he quickly mobilized infantry to restrain the cavalry and formed a pure team. From a distance, the chaotic Song army infantry formation had become a copper wall with spears and arrow feathers.

The only remaining Black Cloud Cavalry led by Ji Yan seemed to have not seen the stairs formation in front of him, and without any dodging, he rushed towards the Song Dynasty Central Army flag without any evasion. When he rushed to about two hundred steps, he heard a sound of a string, and countless powerful arrows shot towards him. The high-speed horses fell down immediately. Some cavalrymen were shot at the head, chest and abdomen and other vital points died immediately. Before the war horses died, they still carried their bodies and charged forward, but the iron spear fell to the ground.

When they approached about a hundred steps, there was another string sound. The arrow rain was both good, and almost all the Black Cloud Cavalry were shot like hedgehogs. The commander of the Black Cloud Commander, Riyan, was shot at no less than a hundred arrows. He immediately rushed to the ground. The palm and teeth soldiers of the Black Cloud Capital were also shot to death. The flag fell to the ground, but the last few cavalry still kept running forward, and finally fell on the Song army's spear and shield wall, smashing the Song army's huge infantry in front of the Song people's invasion formation and retreated repeatedly.

Youdao is a hero who is a hero. Just as the Song general sighed for the remaining cavalry in Jiangnan, a black cloud cavalry with arrows in front of the formation jumped up from the dead horse's back and used all his strength to push a broken spear to the Song people to shuhaige7. Go, the fierce broken spear happened to hit the flagpole. The flag of "Cao deployed Cao in the west camp of the Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty" was fluttering in the wind, which made Cao Bin's expression dark. The black cloud cavalry was naturally poked by the Song soldiers in front of the formation. Seeing that the famous Black Cloud Cavalry was indeed extremely powerful, Cao Bin secretly felt that Cao Han would slaughter most of them first. He turned to look at Jinling, which was soaring to the sky in the west, and said to Wang Hui, who was watching the battle beside him: "I don't want to use the courage of the two generals Pan and Cao, but I can't suppress these surrendered soldiers."

Wang Zhi smiled slightly: "These two are brave but not scheming. They are the first to kill and surrender, and the burning of Jinling is the next. The crime should be killed. Although the generals are inevitably affected by the disaster, no one among the generals in the court can compete with the general!" He said this very quietly, only Cao Bin can hear it. Pan Cao acted recklessly and violated His Majesty's will. Although Cao Bin was responsible for being in a misunderstanding, the punishment he received was far less than two. At present, the three generals of the Song Dynasty military who were deeply favored by the Zhao official family were headed by Cao Bin, Pan Mei, and Cao Han. Pan Mei and Cao Han were out of favor, so Cao Bin held firmly as the leader of the military generals from then on.

Cao Bin laughed loudly, and immediately ordered Dong Zunhui, the commander of the Xiaowu Army, to lead a thousand cavalry to continue chasing the Tang army, while leading the army back to Jinling.

But when he arrived in the city, Cao Bin gradually couldn't laugh. Jinling, which was once a bunch of flowers, was completely ruined and empty. Under Lu Jiang, Lingbo Army, who had no casualties, had already broken through Xiashuimen for half a day to escape southeast. Zhang Heng, the deputy commander of the Longjie Army who stayed in the camp, led the Thousand Five Cavalrymen to pursue the battle, but there was no news yet. The most fierce battle in the city was the siege at the Stone City Camp.

Most of the soldiers of the Tiande Army led by Hu Ze were from Jinling. Seeing that their homes were destroyed, they heard that their comrades were slaughtered, and they had long lost their intention to escape. Although Pan Mei ordered people to demolish the houses, several tall earthen mountains were built outside the Tiande Army camp, and stone throwing machines and crossbows were removed from the city, and they kept bombarding them at the Tiande Army camp. At the same time, they ordered Konghe and Hujie Army captains to lead the soldiers to attack the city without any damage. They still could not break through the defense of the Tiande Army. Instead, the soldiers were killed and injured. The layers of corpses were almost as high as the walls of the military camp. The Song army infantry stepped on the comrade's comrade's bodies and attacked upwards, fighting with the soldiers defending the city soldiers of the Tiande Army.

Seeing this, the captain Kuang Si made a suggestion to Cao Bin: "They are deployed, and the last general speculates that there must be no food in the thief's military camp. It is better to take a siege strategy and wait for them to starve to death."

Cao Bin said sternly: "Pan and Cao were wrongly dealt with inappropriately, and now I will come in person. If the time of relocation cannot be quelled, I will ask me how to explain to the official family." Kuang Si is his confidant dentist, so he spoke less scruples. Seeing that Jinling's losses were so tragic, even if it was just a disaster for the fish, it would not help but greatly affect his position in His Majesty's heart. Thinking of this, Cao Bin looked gloomy and said: "Go and tell Pan Mei quickly. If you can't get the Shitou City today, you can change to someone else. He can sit in the camp and wait for His Majesty's orders in the future."

Pan Mei was furious when the military order was passed, but he and Cao Han were not in favor of restraining his subordinates, which aroused the Tang army's rebellion. The crime of burning Jinling was very serious. The only way to do this is to make many achievements in quelling the rebellion. With His Majesty's past favor, and with the King of Jin, he and the King of Jin were relatives, so he was not afraid of no resurrection. He immediately ordered the 30,000 Konghes and Hujie Army he led to select elite troops as the dying force to climb the city, claiming that he would once captured

The Tiande Army Camp, and the gold, silver and other things in the camp were taken by themselves. At that time, the soldiers were fierce. The army under his command was later transferred to fight against the Tiande Army because of defending the city walls. They did not taste the sweetness of looting. Under this heavy reward, there were brave men, and soon five thousand death-prone soldiers were recruited. Pan Mei personally led them, each wearing two layers of heavy armor, with arrows unable to penetrate. He braved his own bed crossbow arrows and stone bullets and rushed towards the Tiande Army camp.

When it was dark, Pan Mei sent an envoy to report to Cao Bin that the Tiande Army camp had been captured, and the commander Hu Ze died in the chaos. The body had been chopped to pieces. The corpses of more than 20,000 Tiande Army soldiers were counted out from the camp, and more than a thousand other soldiers jumped off the cliff from the back mountain of the military camp. The bodies were scattered everywhere and could not be found.

Seeing that the whole city was pacified, Cao Bin breathed a sigh of relief. He heard the complaints from the soldiers in the camp that the army that had made real efforts to fight against the Tang army had less gains, and they were not as good as those soldiers who plundered the city. Seeing that they could not deal with it, Cao Bin had to privately inform the army through Kuang Si that they could collect military rations in Jinling. However, one day and one night later, the central army would post a notice of the people's peace and rest. When the troops were all deployed, they all shouted long live, but the people of Jinling suffered another disaster.

Note: The cavalry rushing in the biography of Li Guang in "Records of the Grand Historian"

Guang appointed the order of the doctor to lead 4,000 cavalry to Youbeiping. Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, led 10,000 cavalry to Guang, and traveled hundreds of miles. The Xiongnu left wise king surrounded Guang, and Guang was afraid that Guang would make his son dare to go there. He dared to rush with dozens of cavalry alone, running straight through the Hu cavalry, and returned from his left and right. He told Guang, "The enemy is easy to get him!" The soldiers were at peace.
