After a cup of tea, Zhao Ziliang led his generals to the open space of the camp.
At this time, the three thousand guards had just assembled.
Chen Qing, the marching commander, rode over from the front of the three thousand cavalry formation and reported with fists in his hands: " Commander, the three thousand escort cavalry have all been assembled, and there is no shortage of anyone.
Please give me your instructions, Commander."
Zhao Ziliangce immediately came forward and said loudly: "Soldiers, the rebel Yang Zongwang's 20,000-strong army is really attacking our army camp at night.
Now all the armies have guarding and recruitment tasks and cannot go out to fight.
We only have 3,000 guards.
The army has no guards and the task of recruiting.
Now the task of facing the rebel Yang Zongwang's troops must be carried out by our three thousand escorts.
This battle is of great importance.
If we defeat Yang Zongwang's troops, we can consolidate the force and push towards Yin.
Ziqi's success with 300,000 troops, if we are defeated, the rebels will definitely take advantage of the situation and storm our camp.
We may be attacked from both inside and outside, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
You are all carefully selected from our Beiting Army.
Elite Qingqi, you were selected to form the escort army to take on the most important task.
Now that this task has appeared, we can only win, not lose.
Please follow me to attack."
"Fight, fight, fight," the escort cavalry shouted, holding up their spears.
"Open the camp gate and set off."
Zhao Ziliang turned the horse's head and pointed forward with the horse pole in his hand.
Dozens of soldiers pushed open the gate of the camp.
Zhao Ziliang turned his head and glanced at Chu Ge, Li Siye and others.
The generals clasped their fists and shouted loudly: "We will guard the camp tightly.
I wish the commander-in-chief a victory and a triumphant return."
"Driving" Zhao Ziliang held the horse and rode out of the camp.
The three thousand escorts behind him rode out of the camp like a relay race with four columns as a benchmark.
The army filed out, and soon they all left the camp.
Zhao Ziliang did not give the order to stop advancing and regroup in front of the camp.
Instead, he spurred his horse into a trot while giving an order to the messenger behind him: "Give me the order.
The entire army will line up in ten columns and follow me to attack the rebels."
"Nuo" the herald immediately agreed and ordered the heralds to start lighting torches and use torches instead of flags to convey the semaphore.
After the order is conveyed, each ministry will immediately ask their messengers to ride fast horses back and forth on both sides of the team to convey the order from above.
"Attention all soldiers in the first unit, the commander-in-chief has given orders to line up in ten columns and attack the rebels in an out-of-line formation."
"Line up into ten columns, hurry up" Within a few minutes, the three thousand escort troops changed their formations during the march.
The entire army of three thousand troops was in neat formation and everything was in order.
Zhao Ziliang trotted at the front of the team with his horse in hand.
This time he personally led the troops to attack.
This was the first time in more than ten years.
The last time he personally led the troops in battle was more than ten years ago.
He had been in a high position for too long, and he no longer needed to personally lead troops into battle.
But this time, he had to go out in person to face the enemy in the dark.
There were too many changes that could easily happen, and he could not guarantee that other generals could respond in time.
Under his leadership, the morale of the three thousand guardsmen was high, and everyone was extremely excited that he could personally lead the troops into battle.
This was the role model played by the commander of the first army.
"Report to the commander, the rebel Yang Zongwang's troops are approaching three miles ahead.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It seems that they have discovered the movement of our army."
The army had just left the camp and had not gone two miles, when a probing horse galloped towards Zhao Ziliang to report .
After listening to the horse exploration report, Zhao Ziliang believed that since the distance between the two sides was less than three miles, even if Yang Zongwang discovered what was happening on the Tang Army's side, he would not be able to make corresponding arrangements in a short time.
Without further ado, since they are only three miles apart, it is better to start fighting directly.
Taking advantage of Yang Zongwang's troops who have no time to reorganize their army formation, he can directly lead his troops to kill and disperse the opponent's army.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziliang immediately made a decision and shouted: "Guard soldiers, the rebels are coming three miles ahead.
The soldiers rushed over with me, killed through the rebel formations, dispersed them and sent orders to the whole army.
Charge with me" "Drive" After Zhao Ziliang finished shouting, he immediately raised the horse's shaft and accelerated his horse to rush forward into the dark night.
The cavalry guards behind him also accelerated their horses and rushed forward with Zhao Ziliang.
Less than half a minute after the horse accelerated, Zhao Ziliang saw a large number of people moving in front of him, and there were panicked shouts and the neighing of war horses in the wind.
Yang Zongwang and other rebel generals obviously did not expect that the Tang army would get the news so quickly and send troops to fight in such a short time.
Since the troops had already been sent out at this time, and the Tang army was right in front of them, it was too late to withdraw, and it was impossible to withdraw. , only a battle can hope for survival.
Once they retreat and the Tang army takes advantage of the situation to cover them up, the 20,000 troops will definitely be killed and the whole army will be wiped out.
A general asked in horror: "General, what should we do now?
The Tang army is coming to kill them.
They are coming to kill them."
Another general shouted: "Don't scream.
If the news hadn't been leaked, the Tang army would have sent people to keep an eye on our group.
When our entire army was dispatched, their scouts would have discovered it and reported it to Zhao Ziliang." , now our army has arrived here, and the Tang army has also sent troops to kill, and retreats at this time The general will definitely be defeated.
In my opinion, since the Tang army is guarding the 300,000 horses, there will definitely not be many troops to come out to fight our army.
It is better to order a decisive battle with the Tang army.
Maybe there is a chance of victory.
Now, there is no turning back.
If you don’t succeed, you will die.
If you succeed, you will have glory and wealth at your fingertips.”
Yang Zongwang was convinced, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Give me the order, the whole army will fight to the death with the Tang army on the spot and rush over to me.
The winner will live and the loser will die."
After Yang Zongwang's order was conveyed, due to the problem of execution intensity, within several minutes, most of the troops behind had not received the military order.
At this time, the Tang army had already come over.
Zhao Ziliang was galloping on his horse and shouted loudly, "The enemy is approaching, prepare to kill him.
When the two armies meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins, kill him!"
With a "collision" sound, the fronts of the two armies finally collided.
The golden nail Zaoyang in Zhao Ziliang's hand swept through thousands of troops with one move.
The rebel soldiers in front were swept off their horses one after another.
After the enemy's corpse was split open by the sharp blade of the horse, a shower of blood came out and was quickly covered with blood.
Zhao Ziliang said, and even the war horse seemed to have just taken a bath in the blood pool.
Because Yang Zongwang's rebels were coming for a sneak attack and were worried about being discovered, the entire army did not have a torch, and the entire team was marching in the dark.
Zhao Ziliang was worried that the entire army would be exposed if they held torches, so they did not raise any torches.
The two armies met on a long and narrow marching road.
In the dark night, they could not see each other's faces clearly.
They could only see the figures on the opposite side and the cold flash of swords.
"General, general, it's not good.
The Tang army broke out of formation and came over.
They were all cavalry.
They were so brave and brave.

The brothers were killed until they were bleeding like rivers.
They couldn't resist anymore."
A rebel captain covered in blood He rode on his horse and shouted a report to Yang Zongwang who was in the middle of the army.
The two armies suddenly encountered each other.
At this time, there was no time or opportunity to open up the military formation.
However, the Tang army was obviously prepared.
They were all cavalry and lined up in a front-lost formation.
They planned to charge directly into the formation.
Cold sweat broke out on Yang Zongwang's forehead.
He immediately pointed at a general next to him and shouted: "You, take your men and horses to go around the road and resist the Tang army's attack for me.
Go quickly!"
The general said with a bitter face: "General, it can't be done.
There are fields on both sides of the road.
There are mud and stagnant water everywhere in the fields.
It's hard to see clearly in this dark night.
It's impossible to get through."
"Damn it, you're looking for death."
Yang Zongwang was furious, holding a waist knife and slashing his subordinates, slashing the general to death.
Then he pointed at another general and said, "You go."
The general looked at his comrade who had just been hacked to death, and knew that if he refused, he would surely follow in his footsteps, so he had no choice but to agree: "Yes, general."
"Brothers at the back, follow me around the field to block the Tang army's attack."
Yang Zongwang issued several more orders in succession, asking several generals to lead their troops to the front to block the Tang army.
The rebels were confused by Yang Zongwang's actions.
The voices of the rebels were everywhere on the road and in the fields on both sides. , but the fields on both sides were filled with mud and muddy water, making it impossible for people to move quickly when walking in them.
Many rebel soldiers fell down in the fields, soaked and covered in mud.
In addition, the temperature dropped at night, and they were all shivering with cold.
The horse in Zhao Ziliang's hand kept sweeping and slashing without stopping for a moment, and the horse under his crotch also kept sprinting forward.
While slashing the enemy, he shouted: "No one is allowed to stop, Charge me, follow the road to the end, there are fields on both sides, it is difficult to move, and you can't arrange your troops.
If you charge along the road to the end, you can completely overwhelm the enemy."
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The cavalry soldiers of the Tang Army, led by Zhao Ziliang, were slashing and killing the enemy troops while shouting to increase their momentum.
The rebel soldiers behind were frightened and overwhelmed, and they could not see the front clearly in the dark night.
It was unknown where the Tang army had gone.
By the time many rebel soldiers reacted, the Tang army had already rushed in front of them.
The rebels came with a sneak attack, but now they were defeated by the Tang army.
Everyone was afraid.
How could they still be determined to fight?
The smarter ones quickly ran down the road to the middle of the field.
The unwieldy people were killed by the Tang army's cavalry on the road.
Crushed over and turned into cold corpses.
The rebel soldiers blocking the front were knocked over by Zhao Ziliang.
He no longer knew how many people he had killed.
He only knew that he had been rushing along this road for more than ten minutes, and three thousand cavalry guards were still following closely behind him.
Behind him, the guard captain Noor was also following them on a tall horse.
Zhao Ziliang asked loudly while slashing: "Nur, how are our casualties?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Are we still maintaining our formation?"
Nuer responded while chopping with a bloody double axe: "The soldiers have lost more than a dozen people, the others are intact, and the formation is not scattered.
Our army lined up along the road to kill in an out-of-line formation.
The soldiers behind us We shouldn’t have suffered any losses, our front has blocked almost all attacks.”
Zhao Ziliang said: "If you can't hold it anymore, slow down and retreat to the back, and let others come up."
"Although I'm a little older, I'm not that old that I can't hold on for even this little time.
Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Nuer kept chopping, but he was panting at this time.
Zhao Ziliang is already thirty-nine years old this year, while Nuer is already forty-six or seventeen years old.
He has passed the prime of life and has begun to enter the middle-aged and elderly stage.
Zhao Ziliang has been practicing the method of longevity and nourishing Qi over the years.
In addition, he has a magical finger ring that has transformed his body, so his physical fitness has always been at its peak.
His skill has been slowly increasing over the years and has never declined
