Chapter 95 The old enemy

When Xiao Tianjian attacked Xiangyang outside Xiangyang City, Liu Yaoben and Lao Hui also led more than 5,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to the bank of the Tang River to block He Renlong's way.

He Renlong led more than 10,000 people and tried to cross the Tang River from Yunyang to Zaoyang to help the battle. The two armies had contact on the bank of the Tang River, and then a big war began.

He Renlong also sold his life for the empty general of the thief given to him by Yang Sichangxu this time. According to his experience of fighting with Xing Tianjun, he brought a lot of heavy shields, with the car in the front and the heavy shield in the back, and then arranged a large number of archers and gunners behind the car, and even prepared the javelin. He bombarded with artillery, and the supporting troops launched an attack on the defense line of the Xingtian Army. At the same time, he also sent his only cavalry to try to attack the Xingtian Army from the flank, trying to disrupt the flank of Liu Yao's headquarters.

Before leaving, the officers and soldiers were also rewarded by He Renlong. This time, most of them also decided to fight to the death. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, He Renlong's offensive was very fierce, which actually made him really break through the defense line of Liu Yaoben's next battalion, forcing Liu Yaoben and Lao Hui to retreat for a distance. .

The short victory suddenly aroused the morale of He Renlong. In their opinion, the tactics they applied this time are effective, and they may really win a battle.

So He Renlong personally supervised the army and began to launch a second attack on Liu Yaoben, trying to break through their defense line and cross the Tang River to Zaoyang.

Liu Yao looked cold, but with an imperceptible sarcastic smile on the corners of his mouth, he stood high in a chariot in the army and looked at He Renlong's soldiers and horses pushed in like a tide.

Lao Hui was a little nervous and asked Liu Yaoben, "General Liu, He Renlong is crazy. He is really desperate!"

Liu Yaoben looked at the old man who was a little nervous, turned his head and looked at Tang He, who was not far from them, and smiled slowly: "Don't be nervous. It's impossible for the two armies to join forces without a little setback! The general has a saying that if you want the enemy to perish, let them go crazy first! Just now, let them win a small victory, and now is the time to teach them a lesson! Don't worry, once the enemy collapses in a moment, you will have to work hard to cover it up! It's better to catch He Renlong back! This guy has been making a lot of trouble with us over the years!"

Ma Shouying looked at the young Liu Yaoben, who looked confident and sighed in his heart. How did Xiao Tianjian's ability to educate people bring so many young and successful descendants? Then look at the military generals in the Guards, one by one, but each of them seems to be very old-fashioned. During the war, I didn't see that they had a trace of panic. I would say that I had accepted a lot of adopted sons, but compared with the descendants of this group of Xing Tianjun, the adopted children I accepted would at best rush forward and go crazy. They either cut down or were cut down by others. There are no such figures like Liu Yaoben. Ah!

Most of the generals of the whole Guards Division were from the children and soldiers of the Youth Battalion. Over the years, they have gradually grown up and entered the army one after another. Some of them have entered the civil service system. On the one hand, these young officers are full of vitality, and the other is dead to Xiao Tianjian. Zhong, at the same time, has also undergone rigorous military training, and has received more systematic military education. Therefore, after joining the army, all of them are qualified low-level officers, while Liu Yaoben, who joined the army earlier, has also experienced and grown up in the war with Xiao Tianjian in the past few years. For senior officers, it can be said that they can be alone.

Just now, it seemed that He Renlong was a little cheap and broke through the first line of defense set by Liu Yao, but in fact, Liu Yao's losses were very small, and he took the initiative to give up the defense line and retreated with the main force behind him. What Liu Yao wanted was to make He Renlong think of him. There is a possibility of winning. This time, I will try my best to teach He Renlong a big lesson, and leave most of He Renlong's people here as much as possible, so that they will fight against Xing Tianjun in the future.

However, He Renlong did not know whether it was fake. He also thought that his dispatch was effective in dealing with the Xingtian Army, so he was bold and transferred a large number of elites to the front, replacing the first wave of attacking generals. He planned to beat the people and horses of the Xingtian Army. If he could defeat the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army, even if He didn't have time to get to Zaoyang, which was also a great achievement. In the past two or three years, who has defeated the Xing Tianjun in the field? Therefore, with this battle alone, he can be proud of the world, and he is the only general of the thief.

When a large number of officers and soldiers pushed the cart and carefully attacked the Xingtian army, a large number of officers and soldiers followed closely, staring one by one, with a nervous face, involuntarily clencing the weapons in their hands, and waiting to go up to kill.

However, when their rowing car pushed more than 70 steps away from the Xing Tianjun, there was a violent explosion on the front line of the rowing car. A large number of rowing cars were suddenly broken apart in the sound of the explosion, and even the broken arms of the auxiliary soldiers who pushed the rowing car flew together. In mid-air, with this explosion after another, the ground also shook, so that the officers and soldiers thoroughly realized what the earth shook. Many people were so scared that they fell to the ground on the spot, and many people cried and turned around and ran away.

It turned out that after seeing He Renlong's platoon, Liu Yao saw a large number of rowing cars launched in He Renlong's army, and guessed what He Renlong was thinking. So he had an idea and decided to play with He Renlong, so he mobilized his troops and set up two defense lines on the west bank of the Tang River, and then immediately With the military engineering team, the mines carried by the general were taken out and a mine belt was planted between the two defense lines.

And because of the cover of the first line of defense, He Renlong could not observe these small actions made by Liu Yaoben. After fighting, when he broke through the first line of defense of the Xingtian Army and forced the Xingtian army to retreat, he mistakenly thought that their tactics were effective. Under the great morale, the whole army pressed up and tried to put Xing Tian at once. The army rushed into the Tang River behind it.

But he never thought about it. Just after they launched another offensive, Liu Yaoben saw a large number of cars entering the mine belt and immediately ordered to detonate these mines.

Although the mine at this time is not too powerful because of the black gunpowder, it was very large when it was made by Xing Tianjun. Each mine weighs more than ten catties, and there are also a lot of broken porcelain or iron fragments on the mine. Once it explodes, it will not be as powerful as later. The world's anti-tank mines are much smaller, not to mention blowing up these wooden baskets. It's just like playing. They tore up the whole line of the officers and soldiers and tore the defense line of the officers and soldiers into pieces.

What the officers and soldiers are counting on is to use these arrows to resist the sharp fire of the Xing Tian Army. Once the defense line is torn apart, a large number of officers and soldiers behind them will be exposed to the direct fire of the Xing Tian Army.

At this time, the firemen were happy. Without Liu Yaoben's personal order, the battalion commanders of each battalion began to direct the firearms to fire, and they no longer let the long gunners come out, but ordered the firemen to line up in front of the battle and began to shoot at the opposite officers and soldiers in three-stage shots.

With the sound of dense rows of fire, the officers and soldiers were unlucky. The dense officers and troops had just become excellent targets for shooting. A large number of officers and soldiers were like being cut rice, and rows after rows were knocked to the ground, and the howls filled everyone's ears.

Looking back at the tragic appearance of the officers and soldiers on the battlefield, I couldn't help but want to close my eyes. There is still a war! It's just a one-sided slaughter! I've never seen anyone so vicious. The fire of Xing Tianjun is really too powerful!

Since He Renlong heard the sound of a series of explosions in front of him, he felt that something was wrong and quickly ordered to stop the attack. However, without his command, the officers and soldiers under his command had automatically begun to collapse. Countless frightened officers and soldiers, you pushed me to rush behind, but Xing Tian The army's gunners continued to fire at their backs, continuing to overturn them to the ground in rows, which aggravated their chaos.

Originally, He Renlong was determined to drive Xing Tianjun into the river this time. There were also a lot of reserves behind the attacking soldiers and horses, ready to press it at any time. However, the front of the officers and soldiers retreated too quickly and rushed straight into the queue behind. More than 10,000 people collided on a wide range of miles. Suddenly, it became a mess.

Liu Yao looked at the soldiers and horses of He Renlong's troops who fled in confusion, and turned his head to Ma Shouying, who was staring stunned and said, "Deputy Ma Dutong, I'll be happy to you next!"

Ma Shou responded that Liu Yaoben, a young general, now admired the five bodies and threw himself to the ground, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with being called by Liu Yaoben. Even if he held his fists, he said, "Yes!" After saying that, he turned over his horse, raised his machete to the sky, and shouted, "Kill with me..."

Two thousand generals who originally belonged to Ma Shouying, after listening to Ma Shouying's roar, raised their knives and guns together and shouted excitedly. Sa Yazi followed Ma Shouying and ran out...
