- Chapter 500: The decisive battle in the mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood (2)
Fighting has made people numb, and bleeding can no longer stimulate people's nerves. The battle lasted more than two hours from the beginning to the present, and eventually evolved into a decisive battle in which nearly a million troops were involved. Those who have not seen this war with their own eyes cannot describe its magnificence and tragedy in words, and those who hear it cannot imagine how bloody a scene it was.
The land in this wasteland was soaked with blood, so that the soldiers felt like they were stepping on a muddy road that had just rained. Their boots made a squeaking sound, and the entrails and dust mixed together to emit a fishy smell.
When the decisive battle came, Li Yuanshan personally took up the battle again after many years. The rebel leader, who was covered in iron armor, led his heavy cavalry and slammed into the official ranks, because the unparalleled combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry was overwhelming. The officers and soldiers began to retreat.
Jin Shixiong watched the heavy cavalry smash through his front army like a heavy hammer, and he raised the corners of his mouth into a sneer. It seemed that he was not worried that those heavy cavalry might influence the entire battle situation.
He raised his hand and waved the flag. After the horn sounded, the ranks of the officers and soldiers began to move to both sides, actively making way for the heavy cavalry to pass. The rebel infantry following the official army thought they saw hope of victory, so they shouted and chased after the heavy cavalry and stuffed themselves into this opening.
Just after the heavy cavalry penetrated into the official formation, Jin Shixiong looked back at the unused troops behind him. He pointed his finger at the heavy cavalry that was already running towards the Chinese army and said loudly: "This is Li Ni's last skill. , it¡¯s up to you whether you can wipe out the traitors in one fell swoop today! Your Majesty trusts you, and if you want to repay the country¡¯s favor, this is the battle!¡±
About a thousand warriors behind him began to shout and wave special weapons in their hands.
These more than a thousand soldiers were specially selected by the emperor. It can be said that they are outstanding figures in the team, but they are not typical soldiers. These people are all from the Green Forest, and everyone has good martial arts skills, but they are also the most difficult team to lead because they simply don't understand and are too lazy to figure out how to cooperate. These Jianghu people are rough and wild, and it is not easier for them to act in full accordance with the Sui military laws than to let them die.
The emperor never asked these people to obey military orders from beginning to end. They were the only team among the brave team that could drink before the war. The emperor granted them the privilege of not even participating in drills with other soldiers. The purpose of their existence is to deal with Li Yuanshan's heavy cavalry today.
It is no secret that Li Yuanshan has such a powerful cavalry in his hands. Although the number is only less than two thousand, it can easily crush them like steel beasts on the battlefield. The heavy armor on their bodies is not afraid of arrows, and even sharp horizontal knives cannot break through the thick armor. And the heavy guns in their hands were too overbearing, and the infantry simply couldn't resist them.
Following Jin Shixiong¡¯s order, the more than a thousand Jianghu guests rushed out to meet the heavy cavalry. When they were still dozens of steps away from the heavy cavalry, they threw the special weapons in their hands.
"Perhaps this is not a weapon, it can only be said to be a tool.
It is a tool often used by barbarians in the northern and southern parts of the country to capture wild animals. A rope with stones tied to both ends. When encountering prey, throw this thing out. If it is accurately wrapped around the legs of the prey, the prey can be caught immediately.
The rope with stones tied at both ends spun and flew out. Although more than a thousand people had no cooperation, their reaction was far stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. They did not stop after throwing the rope, and still rushed towards the heavy cavalry. Not every rope can trip a horse's leg, but as long as a hundred people succeed it is enough.
Almost no one in the first row of heavy cavalry at the front had the good luck to dodge the rope. That was because these Jianghu people had been preparing for today for a long time. They don't have to practice like ordinary soldiers, but they must make themselves proficient in using this simple animal-catching tool.
The dozens of heavily mounted war horses in front were caught by their hoofs, and the horses fell forward violently while neighing. Because both men and horses were wearing heavy armor, it was not easy to stand up again once they fell. And it was difficult for the heavy cavalry to stop the horses immediately if they were to speed up, so the heavy cavalry behind them inevitably collided with their fallen comrades in front.
The extremely powerful power of heavy cavalry not only comes from the solid armor and the strong physical fitness of the cavalry, but also requires a dense formation to maintain sufficient crushing force.
But precisely because of the dense formation, once the cavalry in front falls to the ground on a large scale, the people behind will only suffer.
At least seventy or eighty heavy cavalrymen were caught and knocked down by their horses, which caused at least two hundred cavalrymen behind them to collide and fall to the ground. At this time, those arrogant people are notThe opportunity for the ruthless Jianghu people to show off their skills has come. They jumped over nimbly, not giving the fallen heavy cavalry a chance to stand up, and used the short iron clubs in their hands to harvest the lives of the heavy cavalry.
The armor of heavy cavalry can block sharp weapons, but it cannot block heavy blows from iron rods.
A charlatan rushed over with a smile, kicked over the heavy cavalryman who was about to get up, then strode up, and hit the cavalryman's neck with a heavy iron rod weighing dozens of kilograms in his hand. The weakest defensive part of the heavy cavalry is the neck. In order to ensure the necessary flexibility, the chain armor on the neck is not heavy. But even though it is thick, the consequences of such a heavy iron rod hitting the throat can be imagined.
There was a soft cracking sound from the heavy cavalry's neck, and then blood began to overflow from behind the visor. The blood spit out from his mouth sprayed on his faceplate, and he soon stopped breathing.
These Jianghu people glided back and forth in the gaps between the heavy cavalry, avoiding the heavy cavalry's attacks and then finding the right opportunity to strike. The iron rods in their hands can immediately destroy the horses when they hit their legs, while the heavy cavalry who landed on the ground are only bulky and not strong at all.
The emperor, who was sitting on a high slope, watched those Jianghu people messing up Li Yuanshan's heavy cavalry, but there was no joy on his face. He specially trained this team to deal with heavy cavalry, and then these people proved by their actions that they could also become the protagonists on the battlefield.
"Pity."
The emperor murmured three words.
I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s a pity for the Jianghu people who were crushed to death by the heavy cavalry, or a pity for the elite cavalry.
¡¡
¡¡
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
A messenger came quickly on horseback, caught up with Li Yuanshan's horse and shouted loudly: "General Zhou Dingguo's heavy armored infantry was stopped by the heavy armor of the official army. We did not have the advantage in numbers and were pushed back. The enemy army is like Knowing in advance that our heavy armored infantry were all on General Zhou's side, we were already prepared! Not only that, the men on the right wing were also frustrated. Prince Yi's men started to win a great victory, but they rushed too hard and separated from the central army, and were defeated by the enemy. The army lured him deeper and then trapped him!¡±
Hearing these words, Li Yuanshan felt his chest suffocate!
He endured it and swallowed back the mouthful of sweet blood that came up from his chest and abdomen, and his eyes instantly turned red.
The heavy armored infantry were all on Zhou Dingguo¡¯s side, how could the Sui army know?
His younger brother, Li Yuankuo, the newly-named Prince Yi, had a simple and impulsive temperament. The Sui army must have arranged tactics in advance. They first pretended to be defeated and retreated to lure Li Yuankuo to pursue, and then encircled Li Yuankuo and cut Li Yuankuo's men into several sections to attack them. All the Sui army's tactical arrangements were so targeted!
"Who leaked our tactics to the enemy!"
Li Yuanshan roared angrily, but he couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood and spurted it out.
"Your Majesty, withdraw your troops for now!"
Some confidants begged: "We have lost the opportunity and are being restrained everywhere. If we continue to fight, it will become more and more disadvantageous. Your Majesty, please make a decision early. It is not too late to return to the army and defend Xiping City to rebuild morale!"
"No!"
Li Yuanshan roared hysterically: "We can't retreat! The prince hasn't gone far yet!"
Hearing this roar, everyone was shocked.
Li Yuanshan¡¯s purpose for this decisive battle was just to cover the escape of his son Li Xiaoche? To exchange for Li Xiaoche's life at the expense of himself and hundreds of thousands of people? People's hearts were immediately filled with sadness. It turned out that the emperor of Zhou himself did not have the confidence to win the duel.
"Keep going forward!"
Li Yuanshan roared angrily, not caring about the blood stains still hanging on the corners of his mouth: "If anyone retreats before dark, he will be killed immediately! Come on! Go tell the supervising team that anyone who retreats will be killed!"
He roared like a wild beast, his face ferocious.
"Report!"
An orderly soldier flew over with panic on his face: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! General Zhou's entire heavy armored army has been wiped out!"
"ah!"
Li Yuanshan shouted fiercely and then stabbed the ordering soldier to death: "Whoever dares to disturb the morale of the army by saying something like this in front of me will be killed without mercy!"
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Song Qianhui, who was responsible for guarding Xiping City, came galloping in on a horse in disheveled clothes. He was a scholar and his riding skills were average. Because of his eagerness, he even lost his crown and lost it. where.
"Your Majesty, please withdraw your troops quickly!"
Song Qianhui panted and said: "I was watching the battle on the city and found that both wings were defeated. This battle is no longer certain to be won. Your Majesty, who has a body of thousands of gold, please return to the army immediately and let go."Xiping, retreat directly to Jinyang! I know that your Majesty is not willing to accept it, but victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Why should you care about temporary gains and losses? Your Majesty, please think twice! "
Li Yuanshan was furious. He was about to kill Song Qian, but he was stopped by a trusted general: "Your Majesty, think twice. The Prime Minister is also thinking about your Majesty!"
After being stopped, the furious Li Yuanshan yelled and cursed like crazy. Everyone tried to persuade him, but it took him a while to calm down. With red eyes, he glanced at these men, and the muscles on his face were twitching involuntarily. I don¡¯t know how long it took, but he sighed heavily: ¡°That¡¯s it, retreat with gold!¡±
It was as if his strength had been drained out of him in an instant, and the heavy spear in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"You can't call me gold!"
Song Qianhui quickly stopped him: "I have informed the generals of the infantry behind to stop rushing forward. The heavy cavalry and infantry who have rushed forward will not have time to call back. Once the gold is raised, the two already defeated wings will immediately collapse completely. The Chinese soldiers are retreating, and the enemy is chasing behind them. Even the gods can't break this defeat. Your Majesty, we can only abandon the troops in front. Please retreat with the troops behind. "
Li Yuanshan's expression changed, and then he nodded slowly: "I'll do as you say."
"Quickly pass the order, and the infantry behind will retreat immediately. Don't listen to the trumpet order, protecting your majesty is the most important thing!"
Song Qianhui said loudly: "Let people blow the trumpet and continue the attack!"
This decision is so cruel. There were more than 100,000 people fighting with the Sui army in front. Song Qian would let people continue to blow trumpets and drums to attack, but ordered the troops behind to retreat. The rebel soldiers in front became complete cannon fodder.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Song Qianhui reached out and grabbed the reins of Li Yuanshan's horse, pulling the horse back.
"Whowho betrayed me! Who leaked our tactics!"
Li Yuanshan still couldn't calm down, and his teeth were chattering.
"Who else could it be?"
Song Qian would sigh, thinking to himself that I had already advised you not to believe that guy, but you just didn¡¯t listen. Today¡¯s defeat was actually doomed. It¡¯s you who have been blinded now and can no longer see clearly. . When that guy came here, I said that I must not let down my guard against this guy. He is usable but not trustworthy. Now it seems that I guessed it right.
It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t dare to say it.
He didn¡¯t say anything, but Li Yuanshan still reacted: ¡°Hou Wenji! I will kill you!¡± - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
