Chapter 401: Never stop

The second is to annihilate the defeated army left behind by Sang Wang, eliminating hidden dangers, so as not to attack the Liang Shidu people from the front and back.

The five floating bridges were divided into troops to guard, which made Cheng Xiaotian's power too dispersed.

If Sang Wang brought the defeated army from behind and restrained it, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Sang Wang's attack was in line with Cheng Xiaotian's thoughts and he immediately faced the battle.

First, one of the few Tang troops were sent to face the enemy head-on, then divided the troops to encircle the Liang army, and then killed them.

In fact, Sang Wang's best deal is to wait for the opportunity and wait until Jide Zuzan and Cheng Xiaotian fight before coming from behind.

But he knew very well that his crime was too great and he was eager to make meritorious service and made mistakes.

When the Tang army came overwhelmed and killed each other.

Sang Wang finally understood that he was wrong, and that Tang Jun was far from being able to deal with him.

The army fought again in the same way, but the result was completely different.

During the last battle, Sang Wang had elite imperial guards in his hands. Wang Han could not wipe them out, but could only wipe them out.

This time.

Without the powerful imperial guards, Sang Wang's defeated army was just defeated because he had just won the battle.

Morale was depressed and had no desire to fight, so they all surrendered.

Cheng Xiaotian now wants to concentrate all his strength to fight against Jide Zuzan, so who can do anything to care about them?

The Liang army was ordered to kneel on the beach, and the Tang army holding a horizontal sword launched a death charge against these unarmed surrendered soldiers, and the horizontal sword in their hands reaped their lives.

When the Tang army stopped, no soldier from Liang Shizhu was alive!

The only one who survived was Sang Wang.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sang Wang surrendered to the Tang army.

The crimes in other places have become great. If they go back, they will definitely chop off Jide Zuzan's head, and it would be better to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Maybe you can save your life.

Cheng Xiaotian sent several soldiers to escort Sang Wang to Guo Qian's camp.

Immediately rectify the Tang army and prepare for the upcoming fierce battle.

Jide Zuzan received news that the Tang army had captured the floating bridge.

He just cursed hard, "Sang Wang, this stupid pig" and immediately led 20,000 imperial guards.

Thirty thousand ordinary troops, a total of 50,000 troops, came to Nujiang.

He had only one goal, which was to drive the Tang army into the Nujiang River to feed the fish while the Tang army was not yet firm.

Nujiang is the last natural danger north of Lushe City. If Nujiang is lost, Lushe City will have no danger to defend. It is completely exposed to the attack of the Tang army. Jide Zuzan is not in a hurry.

While leading the army to rush, he ordered the rear army to follow up. The Liang Shidu army that arrived behind immediately headed north.

So, to the north of Luoshe City, nearly 100,000 troops from Liangshidu were galloping in this area until Nujiang. If you look from the air, the scene would be extremely spectacular, and the people scattered and covered dozens of miles of radius.

According to Jide Zuzan's idea, the Tang army must have a foothold and a small number of people. As long as his army arrives, it can stabilize the Nujiang defense line.

However, the situation developed far beyond his expectations. When he arrived, the first thing he saw was the Tang army's neat camps, guarding the floating bridge like iron barrels.

Cheng Xiaotian knew very well how serious the situation he was facing now was. Once Sang Wang was solved, he immediately led the Tang army to build a camp on the south bank of the Nujiang River.

When Jide Zuzan comes in person, he will inevitably bring the most elite Liang Shidu imperial guards.

Cheng Xiaotian fought with the imperial guards several times, but he still remembered the combat power of this army. He was a real strong enemy and could not be despised.

Furthermore, in order to protect Nujiang, Jide Zuzan must have ordered his army to attack at all costs until the final conclusion is finally announced.

Therefore, this fierce battle must have been the most difficult battle that the Tang army has passed through the Shibao City.

Keeping the floating bridge is Cheng Xiaotian’s most important task now. Even if he wiped out all the 10,000 vanguard troops, as long as the floating bridge is still there, it will be a victory.

Faced with the coming fierce battle, we can only build a solid camp.

In order to build a camp as soon as possible, Cheng Xiaotian adopted the method of Li Yuanba lifting artillery, which was to divide the 10,000 troops into three, part of them rested, part of them built camps, and a few people were on guard.

As a result, there were always people building camps, which also ensured the Tang army's physical strength and prepared for the upcoming fierce battle.

The Tang army knew the importance of the floating bridge. It did not require Cheng Xiao to strictly order the world. All the soldiers were enthusiastic. They actually had two days of strength. When Jide Zuzan arrived, the Tang army's camp was miraculously completed.

“It’s so fast!”

Jide Zuzan looked at the Tang army's camp for a while and nodded in praise: "It's very strong! But even if it's solid, I will break it! I'll send an order to the imperial guards!"

Jide Zuzan knew very well how big the crisis is now, and he didn't have much time.

Cheng Xiaotian would definitely report the news of the capture of the floating bridge to the Tang army's follow-up troops, and the Tang army must have rushed forward and came to help day and night.

Once the Tang army reinforcements arrived, Jide Zuzan lost the opportunity to regain control of the Nujiang River.

Therefore, the imperial guards were used only as soon as they came up!

The imperial guards were ordered to line up in neat battle formations and swing their scimitars to start the attack.

The imperial guards approached the Tang army camp little by little. What is strange is that the Tang army camp was quiet, without any noise, and no one was seen.

Ji Dezuzan frowned and thought to himself, "What the hell is Tang Jun doing?"

Suddenly, people emerged from the Tang army camp, and the bows and arrows in the hands of the Tang army shot fiercely at the imperial guards, shooting many imperial guards overturned.

The Tang army's bows and arrows were strong and the range was long, so the imperial guards shot a lot, but the bows and arrows in the hands of the imperial guards could not reach the Tang army.

Until the Tang army was reached, the soldiers of the Liang army bent their bows and shot arrows. However, with the cover of the camp, they could not hurt the Tang army at all. Only a few Tang army were too unlucky and shot.

The Tang army fought very smartly, so they shot the imperial guards with arrows, and did not fight with the imperial guards at all.

The Tang army's arrows alone are enough for the imperial guards. With the assistance of the camp, the Tang army is like a fish in water, fighting with a rainbow of momentum, causing major damage to the imperial guards.

The imperial guards had a high price and finally rushed to the edge of the camp. Due to the excessive killing of the arrows, they had lost their combat power. All those who rushed to the camps made the souls of the arrows.

Each floating bridge is several miles apart, and it is impossible for Cheng Xiaotian to build such a wide camp. He is very clever to build only one small camp beside each floating bridge, and it is enough to protect the floating bridge safely.

Cheng Xiaotian also divided the Tang army into six parts, each floating bridge with one thousand two hundred people guarding it.

Two hundred people were left on the north shore of each pontoon bridge to prevent accidents.

The remaining three thousand people, led by himself, were stationed on the north shore, and he would send reinforcements wherever he was in trouble.

It can be said that under his arrangement, the five scattered camps were actually integrated, and although Jide Zuzan dispatched the imperial guards, he was still powerless.
