Chapter 716: Ma Sui


The defeat of the Yan army was determined, and the defeat was like a mountain.

Although Neng Yuanhao and Tian Chengsi tried their best to control and stabilize the situation and waited for an opportunity to launch a counterattack, at this time the Yan army's morale was gone, and timidity and fear enveloped the hearts of all the Yan army soldiers. , I just want to escape from the battlefield quickly and survive, so how can I obey orders.

Neng Yuanhao was even hit by the rebels and fell off his horse.

He was trampled by countless defeated soldiers who came from behind.

He almost lost his life.

When the rebels passed, the Tang army had already caught up.

Neng Yuanhao immediately Drawing his sword to respond, a leading Tang army leader immediately shouted: "Surround him and form a three-talent formation."

Dozens of soldiers of the Tang Army quickly surrounded Neng Yuanhao.

Each group of three people formed a three-talent formation, blocking the eight directions around Neng Yuanhao.

Two of the three-talent formations were sword and shield soldiers, and the other one was a sword and shield soldier.

They are spearmen, two sword and shield soldiers are responsible for resisting attacks and waiting for opportunities to counterattack, and the spearmen are responsible for attacking.

Neng Yuanhao's face showed a solemn look after seeing this formation.

This kind of formation surrounds a person, and it is difficult to break out, unless the force is too high and the weapons are sharp.

This kind of formation can be moved at any time, and there are other Tang troops around.

You can fill the gap at any time by wandering around the periphery.

Beads of sweat appeared on Neng Yuanhao's forehead.

The leader of the Tang army, Neng Yuanhao, showed timidity and immediately raised his horizontal sword and shouted: "Brothers, come on!"

After the order was issued, each Sancai Formation team slowly approached Neng Yuanhao at the same time, compressing Neng Yuanhao's activity space.

The surrounding Tang troops roared and shouted from time to time to disrupt Neng Yuanhao's concentration.

Neng Yuanhao was surrounded in the middle.

When he heard the soldiers of the Tang Army shouting behind him, he thought he was being attacked from behind.

He immediately turned around to deal with it, but found that he had been fooled.

A gun suddenly stabbed at him from beside him.

Neng Yuanhao immediately swung his knife and struck back.

But he found that the spear head didn't penetrate at all and retracted halfway.

From time to time, soldiers from the Tang Army made tentative attacks in front, left, right, and in all directions.

Neng Yuanhao could only care about the left but not the right, and he could not care about the front but not the rear.

Surrounded in the middle, Neng Yuanhao's space for movement became smaller and smaller, and his emotions began to slowly lose control.

He was overwhelmed by the constant tentative attacks, and he began to go crazy.

As long as there was a weapon attack, he would carry a sword.

He kept slashing, and worried about being attacked behind and to his side.

He kept slashing in circles, but he never attacked any of the Tang soldiers.

Neng Yuanhao's physical energy was depleted very quickly in this situation.

As he looked at it, he couldn't stand upright and accidentally fell to the ground.

The leader of the Tang Army was overjoyed when he saw this and shouted: "You must live!"

" The soldiers of the Tang Army rushed forward.

As soon as Neng Yuanhao got up, the four sides of his body were held up by shields.

Even his two arms were pressed tightly by the shields.

He could not use his strength.

Several bright spears were pressed against his arms.

Throat, two sharp horizontal knives were placed on his neck.

"Hey, it looks like he is a high-ranking official, brothers.

If this is really a high-ranking official, we brothers will wait to be promoted and make a fortune."

A military leader saw Neng Yuanhao wearing expensive armor, with a famous sword inlaid with gems hanging from his waist. , and immediately started shouting.

A dozen or so soldiers around them all cheered loudly, "Following Boss Ma, it's really popular to drink spicy food."

The head of the Tang Army named Ma laughed loudly and said immediately: "Okay, tie this guy up.

If he is dishonest, beat him as hard as he can, as long as no one is killed."

"clear" The defeat of the Yan army was irreversible.

Neng Yuanhao was captured, and a large number of Yan army generals were captured at the same time.

Seeing that they could not escape, groups of Yan army soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees in order to survive.

Outside the city of Shaanxi County, the mountains and plains were full of broken troops.

The Tang army kept chasing and capturing prisoners.

During the escape process, Tian Chengsi was shot by Li Siye with an arrow.

The arrow hit his vest.

If it hadn't been for his armor, Blocking part of the force, this arrow might kill him.

Dozens of soldiers protected Tian Chengsi as he bypassed the city of Shaanxi Province and fled toward Luoyang.

Following Tian Chengsi, more than a thousand cavalry also fled toward Luoyang.

The other Yan troops were either killed or captured.

There are also some who go into the mountains and become bandits.

The gates of Shaanjun City were wide open.

The few Yan troops left behind in the city had also put down their weapons and flags of the Yan army.

They were all waiting in the city to surrender.

Zhao Ziliang led a group of general officials into Shaanxi City and seized the governor's mansion.

As the headquarters of the army.

The battle ended as soon as it started, but the pursuit of the Yan army, the collection of prisoners of war, and the cleaning of the battlefield continued for a whole day.

That night, all the generals came to the governor's mansion in Shaanjun City to report the results of the battle and various situations to Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang sat in the governor's seat and listened to the reports of each military general, while Du Fu took notes on the side.

After everyone had finished reporting, Du Fu stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Commander, according to statistics, our army killed 13,220 people and captured 81,382 people in this battle.

It is estimated that a small number of Yan troops fled into the nearby mountains and forests and seized a large amount of food, grass, weapons, armor and other baggage.

The exact number needs to be calculated.

Our army was wounded 2,256 people and 1,340 were killed.

Seventeen people" Zhao Ziliang nodded when he heard this and said to Li Siye: "All these prisoners will be handed over to your care.

At the same time, people will be sent to screen them to eliminate the old, weak, wounded, and disabled.

These eliminated people should not be released back to their hometowns for the time being.

Arrangements can be made They were engaged in farming or working, waiting for the counter-insurgency war to be fully concluded.

Let them go after the end.

In addition, you can't ignore the Yan troops who fled into the mountains and forests.

If you don't ignore them, they may escape back to Luoyang or gather in the mountains and forests to become bandits and harm the surrounding people.

You choose a capable captain to lead the two troops.

Qian, specifically responsible for chasing down these Yan troops who fled into the mountains and forests."

Li Siye cupped his fists and said: "Promise" Zhao Ziliang said again: "Bai Xiaode, tonight we will send elite reconnaissance cavalry to investigate the situation in various cities and towns on the way to Luoyang.

Tomorrow morning, you will command another five thousand cavalry as the vanguard to approach Luoyang.

If you encounter towns surrendering along the way, you can Accept it.

If you encounter a town resisting the king's army, you must not attack without authorization.

You must carefully explore the enemy's situation before making a decision."

Bai Xiaode stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Take orders."

Zhao Ziliang stood up and walked to the map hanging on the wall.

He thought for a long time and told Chu Ge: "Send someone to send an order to Zhao Ting and ask him to lead his troops across the river to join my main force.

At the same time, send someone to Wang Rao of Anyi to order him."

Send people to inquire whether there is a small road through the middle part of Zhongtiao Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, and Taihang Mountain into Huaizhou today's Jiaozuo, and find a way to travel from Anyi to the Jiyuan and Heyang areas of Huaizhou to create pressure on the Luoyang rebels."

Chu Ge stood up and clasped his fists and agreed: "Promise" "Okay, if there is nothing else, let's go back and rest.

Chu Ge has arranged sentries, patrols and peripheral patrols."

At this time, Li Siye stood up and said: "Commander, a brigade commander under the last general and his soldiers captured the rebel general Neng Yuanhao."

"Oh, where is Neng Yuanhao?"

Zhao Ziliang became interested.

He didn't expect Neng Yuanhao to be so unlucky.

As a leading general, he was captured on the spot.

This was not an ordinary bad luck.

"It's just outside the tent.

Does the commander want to see him?"

Zhao Ziliang sat back on the chair and beckoned: "Ask the brigade commander to bring Neng Yuanhao in."

"Promise" Li Siye agreed and shouted from outside the checkroom: "Bring Neng Yuanhao in" Soon someone yelled at me from outside the tent: "Let's go, our commander wants to see you, so go quickly."

Soon, the embarrassed Neng Yuanhao was escorted in by a thirty-year-old military leader and several soldiers.

Neng Yuanhao's hair was disheveled, his helmet was missing, his armor was covered with shoe prints and mud, and he was dirty.

It was stained, and there were blood stains under his nostrils and at the corners of his mouth.

He must have been beaten when he resisted after being caught.

"Kneel down!"

The middle-aged brigade commander who escorted Neng Yuanhao in held his shoulders and shouted, but Neng Yuanhao snorted coldly and turned his head to the side without even looking at Zhao Ziliang.

"Hey, you have quite a temper."

The middle-aged brigade commander was furious and kicked Neng Yuanhao's knee.

Neng Yuanhao knelt on the ground with one knee.

Then the middle-aged brigade commander pushed him on the other knee.

He also knelt on the ground.

Zhao Ziliang knew that Neng Yuanhao's martial arts was good.

It was almost impossible for ordinary people to catch Neng Yuanhao, but this middle-aged brigade commander was able to catch Neng Yuanhao.

Either he was lucky or he should have some skills. , so he asked: "Li Siye, what is this man's name?"

Li Siye said: "Commander, his name is Ma Sui.

He signed up to join the army at Baqiao Camp last year.

At that time, the general needed to reorganize and train the army, but there was a lack of people in the army who could read and write, so he obeyed the order.

There were more than a dozen recruits selected from the recruits, and this Ma Sui was not only literate and able to copy and write, but he also knew the art of war, had a clear mind, and had great ideas.

The general felt that he should be a talent, so he asked him to copy and write next to the general during the training.

Unexpectedly, in the second month of training, he had all fifty people in the team obeying him, and the general Seeing that he had the ability to lead troops, he made him the captain of the team.

During the prisoner training period, Ma Sui contributed a lot and gave many good suggestions.

The final general promoted him to brigade commander."

Ma Sui Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, could this Ma Sui be the famous general Ma Sui in the mid-Tang Dynasty who would later become a Situ or a Shizhong, who would be posthumously awarded the rank of Taiwei after his death, and who would be ranked in Lingyan Pavilion at the same time as Li Sheng?

Zhao Ziliang looked at Ma Sui and asked, "Your name is Ma Sui, right?

Where is your ancestral home?"

Ma Sui bowed down and replied: "Come back to Commander-in-Chief, my ancestral home is in Fufeng County.

My ancestors moved from Fufeng County to Shaanxi City in Ruzhou.

My grandfather, Ma Minguan, went to Zuo Yuqian to defend Cangcao.

My father, Ma Jilong, once passed the Ming Dynasty Military Art Examination. , is good at the art of war, and served as governor of Lanzhou and military envoy of Youzhou."

Sure enough, generals in ancient times were generally inherited from their families, so it is not particularly difficult to read books on the art of war.

However, the specific details of marching operations, training methods, etc. are not found in the art of war books.

You have to explore it yourself in practice.

Either there is inheritance, which is usually passed down from father to son in a general family, or it is passed down to apprentices, and ordinary civilians are basically inaccessible. s: Hello everyone, my new book The Blood-stained Song Dynasty has been released.
