Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"The whole army attacks and captures Chu Xiang alive!!!"

Vice General Shaanxi Guoguan, who was responsible for coordinating the overall situation, saw that the defeat of the Zhou army outside Dao City was a foregone conclusion. He immediately ignored Li Ji's military orders and directly ordered to fully open the city gates and pursue them.

The soldiers of Shaanxiguan, who were already gearing up and screaming excitedly, received the order and immediately rushed out of the city like a swarm of swarms.

Some veterans who were still a little worried wanted to give a few words of reminder to everyone to keep the queue intact, form a battle formation, and then pursue the pursuit.

But seeing the current situation, I swallowed the words that came to my mouth.

Come on, now everyone is thinking about how to seize the merit. If they stop it at this time, those soldiers will probably hate themselves to death.

Thinking of this, after several veterans looked at each other, they all tacitly shut up and stopped uttering any reminders.

At the same time, in the Shaanxi Guan, 12000 cavalry were already ready to go, like a torrential flood, following the soldiers, they quickly poured out of the city gate.

Originally, these cavalry were Shaanxi Guoguan's last trump card, used to block the opponent's retreat when the opponent retreated.

But now, there are soldiers from Shaanxi and Guoguan everywhere, and there is no time or space for them to form formations to chase the enemy.

Seeing this situation, the cavalry commander gritted his teeth and waved his hand, letting all the cavalry fight on their own and pursue them at will.

As soon as this order came out, the cavalrymen who were still a little hesitant and did not dare to act arrogantly started to act recklessly among the crowd like wild horses that had escaped the reins.

Some soldiers who were running hard in front of the cavalry were knocked down and flew away by the cavalry, leaving wailing and cursing all over the ground.

Although the cavalry exercised great restraint, they still caused numerous unnecessary injuries during the pursuit.

Wherever the cavalry passed, in addition to leaving wounds and curses all over the ground, they also left countless wounded soldiers.

However, how can the cavalry, who has always been arrogant and used to it, take these things seriously?

Now, they are all focused on how to catch up with those defeated troops and how to make great achievements.

The generals on the city wall saw all this, but they did not order to stop it and could not stop it.

After all, everyone has been waiting for this big victory for too long.

Since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty and the demarcation of national boundaries between the two sides, although they have attacked each other, they have won and lost.

But in general, Datang spends 90.00% of its time on defense.

In battles between the two sides, artillery and musketry were basically used, and cavalry was basically not used.

Now that the opportunity is rare, these cavalrymen who have already been thirsty for a long time are very pleased that they can have this momentum. How can they still restrain it?

What's more, under the current situation, if you want the cavalry to stop, they will undoubtedly give up their achievements.

The consequences caused, no one can withstand the anger of the cavalry.

Moreover, after seeing the craziness of the cavalry and knowing that these were a group of lunatics without scruples, the infantrymen in Shaanxi Guanguan below the city began to avoid them one after another, and the casualties were gradually reduced.

Therefore, the generals did not take it seriously and allowed the wild children below to do whatever they wanted.

Soon, the cavalry passed the infantry, rushed to the front line, and began to pursue the defeated troops of Zhou Dynasty in the distance.

The 6000 soldiers of the Zhou Pioneer Army who were running at the end saw large groups of cavalry chasing after them. Without saying a word, they turned around and quickly dispersed in both directions.

Seeing the defeated Zhou army that suddenly dispersed on both sides, the cavalry hesitated for a while and then began to divide into three waves to pursue.

Some cavalry chose to separate the left and right sides and pursue the fleeing 6000 vanguard troops.

And more cavalry chose to continue charging forward.

These people have only one goal, and that is the central army of the Zhou Army.

In their eyes, the 6000 men of the Pioneer Army were not even enough to fill the gap between their teeth.

They have 12000 cavalry, so what if they catch up with the 6000 people?

There are many monks but little food, so those who run fast may be able to pick up a bargain or two.

Those who run slowly don’t even have a chance to drink soup.

After so much effort, the reward can only depend on luck. These cavalry are not fools, so of course they won't do it.

As a result, most of the cavalry turned their attention to the Chinese army, which was also fleeing.

When they think about it, there are so many people in the Chinese army, and there is no way there can be enough for them.

What's more, the Chinese army also had Chu Xiang, the chief general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as generals at all levels of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As long as one is killed or captured alive, it can stand up to ten or hundreds of ordinary soldiers.

Regardless of such meritorious service, why bother to argue with those mud-legged people?

At the same time, on a hillside, Chu Xiang and Lin Wan saw all this.

Chu Xiang looked at Lin Wan with a bitter look on her face. She didn't know if her decision was right.

If this plan fails, then she will become a sinner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the kind who cannot atone for her sins by dying a hundred times.

But if this strategy succeeds, then she will be able to open the door to the Tang Dynasty for Da Zhou, and her great achievements and wise decisions will be written down by those who come after her.

As the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty approached quickly, some of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty who were running at the end could already feel the cold light of the weapons in their opponents' hands.

Seeing that death was about to come, suddenly, the dull sound of a war drum came from the front.

Hearing the sound of the war drums, the fleeing soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty couldn't help but quicken their pace and began to flee quickly to both sides, giving up the space in the middle.

When the chasing cavalry saw this situation, their first reaction was that there was an ambush ahead, the opponent's retreat was probably fake, and they might have fallen into a trap.

As a result, the cavalrymen of Shaanxi Guoguan involuntarily slowed down their horses, gave up their pursuit of Da Zhou's defeated troops, and held on to the reins tightly, always preparing for a sudden ambush.

But what all the cavalry did not expect was that when the defeated troops dispersed and the middle field was revealed, there was no ambush on the opposite side, nor was there any secret weapon beyond their knowledge.

Some are just cavalry wearing heavy armor.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the heavy armored cavalry, the cavalrymen in Shaanxi Guoguan were stunned for a moment, but when they saw the number of heavy armored cavalry on the opposite side, they all looked up to the sky and laughed.

It turned out that the total number of heavy armored cavalry on the opposite side was less than 2000.

Looking at the armor on their bodies, it was obvious that they were pieced together temporarily.

12000 versus 2000. Although it was light cavalry versus heavy armored cavalry, the result is self-evident.

What's more, these heavy armored cavalry, you can tell at a glance that they are not formally trained, but just look-alikes.
