Chapter 79 Guo Thief Army Destroyed
Before the more than a hundred cavalry and barons of Guo Daxian who had just turned around, the hundred cavalry and horses in the central army led by Cheng Qi suddenly arrived quickly. Although most of the soldiers in Taiyuan County were infantry, the people of Bingzhou were familiar with fighting on horseback. Just hold the spear tightly and look at the thieves and stab them diagonally.
With a "boom", the soldiers of the Taiyuan County of Baiqi crashed into the thief's guard cavalry. The spear in his hand pierced into the body of the thief in front of him, stabbing the current spear down in one fell swoop. Before the undead spear counterattacked, the second and third rows of cavalrymen rushed to the thief one after another, stabbing the spear in his hand pierced into the body of the thief.
"Ah, oh, uh..." The bitter whine of more than one hundred cavalry guards sounded one after another. In just a few dozen seconds, more than a hundred cavalry were swept away by the Taiyuan County soldiers. At this time, there were only a few thieves who could still ride on the horses, including the thief coach Guo Daxian.
However, Guo Daxian couldn't help but be furious at this time, his heart was cut off like a knife. Almost all the most loyal guards of more than 100 cavalry were lost, all the elite cavalry of a thousand cavalry betrayed, and hundreds of armored elite soldiers on both sides were killed and all the cavalrymen were killed. What was going on with this disaster? Guo Daxian didn't understand, but he thought it very well at this time.
"Guo Da, why do you betray me? Guo Da, where are you..." Guo Daxian waved his spear fiercely and killed the Taiyuan County soldiers who rushed over to surround him and killed him one by one. He killed four or five people in a row. Each time he killed one, the pain in his heart became deeper. After all, these warriors were all elites under his command, but...
"Woo..." A long-handled ring knife suddenly slashed from behind, and its momentum was as fast as lightning. Guo Daxian felt a cold behind his back, but he could not avoid it. He had to dodge to the right and the ring knife immediately slashed Guo Daxian's left shoulder, and the iron armor leaves flew everywhere. Even a piece of flesh on the shoulder was cut off.
Guo Daxian gritted his teeth, slapped his horse to avoid the second slash of the ring sword, rushed forward for more than ten steps, and then turned around and stared at the enemy general who was attacking him. He saw that it was a bearded man Mo Sheng. Although not everyone knew more than a thousand cavalrymen under his command, they were at least familiar with each other. However, the person he had just killed had no acquaintance with the sturdy general at this time. Guo Daxian asked in surprise: "Who are you? Where are Guo Da?"
Cheng Qi sneered, "What is Guo Da? I am the Marquis of Taiyuan County, and Cheng Qi of Yuyang is the same."
Guo Daxian looked at Cheng Qi in shock. The soldiers of Taiyuan County? Isn’t the rebellion of Guo Da? How could the soldiers of Taiyuan County appear in Changshan Guodu Township? How could they jump across hundreds of miles of Taihang Mountain silently? What kind of feud with the soldiers of Taiyuan County? Where is Guo Da at this time? This huge problem almost made Guo Daxian fall into trouble.
Cheng Qi slapped his horse and raised his sword and rushed over again, shouting: "Thief General, come with your life."
A trace of thought appeared like lightning, and Guo Daxian immediately reacted. The Taiyuan Duwei besieged, which was a hot topic a month ago, was robbed of the robbery of the Taiyuan Duke Jin, and the court allowed the order to cross the prefectures and counties to avenge the revenge that the court allowed, also appeared before his eyes one by one.
"Damn it, it was the Taiyuan County soldiers." Guo Daxian finally figured it out. It was not Guo Da, the deputy commander of the Jingqi, who betrayed him. It turned out that the Taiyuan County soldiers crossed mountains and ridges for hundreds of miles in the snow, and rushed into his territory just to avenge him. Thinking of this, Guo Daxian couldn't help feeling much better.
So the destruction of the food was destroyed last night by the soldiers of Taiyuan County? It was not the people of Qiu and Yin. It was hateful that I was deceived by Taiyuan County soldiers because I was confused and could not do anything to investigate carefully. I was deceived by Taiyuan County soldiers. Is it because I was defeated today. Guo Da and a thousand elite cavalry were probably wiped out by him last night? This battle was due to the inequality of intelligence and was not the crime of war.
Guo Daxian and Cheng Qi fought several times, but were eventually defeated by Cheng Qi due to a wound on their shoulders. They also saw the infantry under their command who were slaughtered, but they were afraid that the defeat would be difficult to recover. They had to stab each other with a slaughter, and then left. Cheng Qi saw that this thief general had a strong martial arts skills, so he must be the thief coach Guo Daxian. So he also chased the horse and never let it go.
The first wave of assault defeated Guo Daxian's original formation. Even the thousand armored thieves were attacked by Li Ping and Hou Cheng's troops and killed two or three hundred people. Except for more than 200 people who crossed the stone bridge, most of the thieves were driven out of the riverbed.
Then, Li Ping ordered his soldiers to dismount and shoot the thieves in the riverbed with a bow. The thieves screamed desperately in the dry riverbed and cold river water. In just three or five minutes, the thief who was originally as powerful as a lamb was slaughtered. This sharp reversal made people unable to react. They called Tiantian and were unsatisfied, and they could only kneel down and cried and beg for mercy.
Hou Chengze led the cavalry to continue to assault the remaining enemies on the bridge and the auxiliary thieves on the north side of the bridge. Wherever the cavalry passed, they all collapsed and fled, completely showing the strongest power of the cavalry tactics. Even the Qiu clan, who had fought for a long time, stood on the fort wall, staring at the chaos in front of him in a daze, completely forgot to send troops out of the fort to attack the fleeing thieves.
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, He Bai immediately ordered Li Ping to summon the thieves, and ordered Hou Cheng to continue to attack the thieves near the Yin family's Fortress, and strive to completely eliminate the forces of Guo Daxian's bandit Yudu Township in a battle.
Of course, He Bai did not forget the most important thing, just looking for Guo Daxian's whereabouts. When he learned that the person Cheng Qi was chasing was Guo Daxian, He Bai personally led fifty cavalry to chase after him.
Guo Daxian was panicked all the way. He originally wanted to escape back to Duxiangcheng. There were still 200 guards in the city, and there were 1,000 armored soldiers in the Tang Dynasty south, and there were more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers at the two counties. As long as the other Black Mountain bandits recovered, He Bai's Taiyuan County soldiers would retreat even if they did not retreat, otherwise the entire army would be wiped out. However, Guo Daxian found the wrong path in panic and looked at the Taihang Mountains to the west to escape.
Ma Xueer, who was recovering from a quiet place, heard the news from the guard team that two fast horses rushed towards this side. Perhaps He Bai's report of the victory was back. Ma Xueer was overjoyed when she heard the news. She felt as if she had been completely cured. She immediately jumped up, flew onto a horse, and led her troops to meet the fast horse.
Not far away, he heard Cheng Qi shouting from far away: "Madam Xue, please be careful, that person is Guo Daxian's thief, don't let him go."
When Ma Xueer heard this, her eyebrows were raised and furious. She took out the crescent eyebrows knife hanging on the saddle, and then slapped Ma Xueer and took Guo Daxian directly. Guo Daxian saw that Ma Xueer was coming from afar. He didn't know what was going on, and immediately understood everything. He couldn't help but sigh, looked at Ma Xueer and stabbed him.
But when Ma Xueer slashed at him with nonchalance, the spear in Guo Daxian's hand suddenly fell to the ground and stretched his head to face Ma Xueer's quick knife. The sword flashed and the head fell to the ground.
Ma Xueer, who was revenge, stared at Guo Dajian on the ground blankly, also known as Guo Jian's head, and didn't know what it felt. It was neither joy nor sadness. Anyway, the five flavors in her heart were mixed, so it was difficult to say clearly.
When He Bai hurriedly chased him, Ma Xueer plunged into He Bai's arms and started crying loudly, crying so hard that the pear blossoms were raining. He was so sad. He Bai had no choice but to comfort him kindly, and waited until Ma Xueer was tired of crying and fell asleep again before giving up.
He Bai ordered the guards to carry Ma Xueer on a stretcher and headed towards Qiu and Yin Er's fortress. Most of the thieves had been surrendered. The leader of Qiu and Yin Er's clan came to pay homage to He Bai under the leadership of Li Ping.
"Old Qiu Tong, Yin Yuan paid a visit to the Duwei Master. The Duwei Master was like a god. The Liang Guo thief was killed in one go. He saved me Qiu and Yin Er were in the water and fire. Lao Xiao and I were very grateful. I hope that the Duwei Master could move into the dock and drink a little wine to show the gratitude of Qiu and Yin Er."
If he came to ask these two tribes for help yesterday, he might not be so grateful at this time. Maybe He Bai would have been blamed for attracting Guo Daxian's thieves to attack the fort. Now it is just right. He Bai didn't ask for help, and stepped forward to help the second tribe leader up and smiled, "As the saying goes, if Guo thieves are destroyed, you should seize the capital town and return to the court to rule the two cities in the south. He Bai would not drink this wine, but he would just take the city."
The leader of the two clans of Qiu and Yin nodded repeatedly and praised: "What the Duwei said is very good. The old and old men immediately went to summon the heroes of the clan and accompanied the Duwei to seize the Duxiangcheng together."
In the previous battle for the dock guard, nearly a hundred people were killed or injured, but Yin was not injured. So, except for the people guarding the castle, Qiu sent out 150 people and Yin sent out 250 people, led by the children of the clan, and followed He Bai to capture Duxiangcheng.
The soldiers in Duxiang City were young, and when they saw Guo Daxian's head hanging on a long pole, they were in chaos. Just as the thieves in the city were wandering, Qiu Hui, the son of Qiu family, Yin Li, the son of Yin family, both took off their horses and rushed to the city eighty steps away, leading the bow toward the head of the city. Each arrow shot, one person, three in a row, and four people were shot, the thieves were very frightened and no one dared to look up. Seeing that there were many officers and soldiers, they were very forced, and no one in the city dared to stand out. In desperation, they had to open the city gate and surrender on the ground.
He Bai led the army into the city, first sent troops to confiscate the weapons of the thieves and occupied the key points in the city, and then sat down in the county government. Qiu Hui and Yin Li immediately bowed to He Bai's desk and shouted: "Little man Qiu Hui, Yin Li is a little good at martial arts and is a little good at archery and horses. Seeing that the Duwei Master was extremely brave, he admired him very much. He hoped that the Duwei Master would be the main one to serve the work of dogs and horses. He also hoped that the Duwei Master would receive it."
When He Bai saw the two of them showing off their archery skills before the army, he knew that these two were effective. As expected, shortly after entering the city, the two of them worshipped He Bai. Although the famous generals were good, they were difficult to obtain. And for He Bai, the middle and lower-level officers in the army were the more and the better, and everyone would refuse.
He Bai immediately helped the two of them up happily and appointed them as officials in front of the tent, and followed the left and right entourage. After clarifying their abilities, he would arrange his duties.
