Chapter 5: The Battle of the Great Sea Temple
The wind, blowing mercilessly, blows into everyone's heart.
The heart of a warrior is even stronger and unyielding, even if it is stronger, colder and more ruthless, he is definitely not afraid.
However, there is something more ruthless than the cold wind, and that is-
Fight on the battlefield!
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Xingyang City was full of rain of arrows, crazy roars, and slashing sounds of swords, guns, swords, and halberds.
The twentieth attack of the enemy was finally repulsed, but soon the trumpets of the twenty-first wave of the attack were heard. The war drums of the Wagang army were exchanged and the remnants of the army retreated, and another group of 5,000 troops began to advance towards the tower, and they were so desperate that the defending soldiers were overwhelmed by the continuous attacks.
The sea tiger wiped the blood stains on his face, the steel knife in his hand had been curled, and he had killed more than a thousand people in one day, which was the most killed among the soldiers defending the city.
At noon, Qin Qiong was called into the Shuaifu by Zhang Xutuo to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, and the city was temporarily handed over to Haihu to command. Seeing that the soldiers defending the city were running back and forth to resist the enemy, everyone's eyes were blood-red, and there seemed to be only one simple purpose in their minds, which was to block and kill the invading enemy by any means, and eliminate them under the city as much as possible.
There were corpses lying on the walls, and the red blood couldn't help but add to the blackened bloodstains, but no one had time to pay attention to them. There were more corpses under the city wall, stacked on top of each other, already four or five meters high, and as the drums of the enemy's attack were beating, four or five thousand infantry carried the ladder and roared wildly.
"Are you tired?"
Suddenly, a big hand slapped on Haihu's shoulder, and he didn't even need to look at it to know that it was Qin Qiong who was back, and said in a hoarse voice: "We can't be tired, if we are tired, the people of Xingyang will be slaughtered, so we can't be tired, we can't retreat, we can only fight to the end." ”
"What a bloody fight to the end."
The high-pitched voice sounded, and the sea tiger looked back, only to see that the person in front of him was about fifty years old, with a thin body, and the sharp falcon eyes hidden under the thick eyebrows were impressive. Seeing this person, Haihu immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Dashuai." Immediately afterwards, many soldiers on the city wall looked at the god of war in their hearts, Zhang Xutuo.
"On the battlefield, there is no need to be polite."
Zhang Xutuo picked up the sea tiger, watched his armor dyed with blood, and said with admiration: "I heard that Uncle Bao won a young hero, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
In fact, how did Zhang Xutuo know that when he was looking at the sea tiger, the other party was also looking at him, but when he saw Zhang Xutuo covered in a majestic armor and standing in front of him with a spear in his hand, the more he felt that under the fame of Zhang Xutuo, this wind spear was indeed a vain.
Behind him, there were two generals, one with a slender figure and a handsome and resolute face, also holding a spear; The other was of medium height, fat stature, and even if he stood still, the two fat masses on his face trembled, and he was holding a Xuanhua axe with two sides of the blade.
And these two people are Luo Shixin and Cheng Zhijie.
Facing Haihu's reverent gaze, Zhang Xutuo said with a calm expression: "You're right, there are tens of thousands of people in Xingyang behind us, so we can't be tired, and we don't allow ourselves to be tired." Then he looked at the garrison sergeant with a grim look and shouted, "Now tell me, are you tired??" ”
"Not tired."
Thousands of sergeants shouted at the same time, and the sound shook the sky.
"Okay, it is worthy of the soldiers led by my Zhang Xutuo, and it is worthy of the division of a hundred battles of my Great Sui. Now, follow me and fight to defeat the enemy. As he spoke, he looked at Luo Shixin and said, "Shixin, you lead the sergeants to continue to defend the city." "Luo Shixin is his disciple, the essence of Zhang Xutuo's wind marksmanship, so Zhang Xutuo has orders, Luo Shixin is omnipotent, and this is also the combat arrangement they have drawn up in advance, so there is no contradiction between going to the battlefield and taking you without me.
"Ah Hai, dare to go out of the city with the old man to kill a few back and forth."
As he spoke, Zhang Xutuo looked at the sea tiger.
"Dare."
Haihu said proudly and went down the city tower with Zhang Xutuo. And when Qin Qiong walked by him, he looked at Haihu and said, "I recommend you to the old marshal to be the left vanguard of the cavalry in this charge, and do a good job." As he spoke, he descended the steps.
Below, there were 20,000 sergeants waiting for them.
As the gate of Xingyang opened quickly, Qin Qiong led the cavalry of the guards to rush out first, and killed anyone he saw. The siege team, which was not afraid of death before, thought that Xingyang City would dare to open the city, and they were in a mess and scattered and fled.
As the cavalry rushed out of a road, they quickly occupied a large open space, and then the soldiers formed a phalanx, majestically facing each other with Zhai Rang and Li Mi's armies across a kilometer of space.
The two sides have long been red-eyed, and it is even more inseparable to meet at this time.
With the thunderous war drums of the two sides, the most tragic battle between Wagang and Zhang Xutuo began.
Zhang Xutuo's cavalry totaled only 4,000 people, Qin, Luo, and Cheng each led 1,000, and he himself led 1,000. Because Luo Shi believed in defending the city, the vanguard cavalry this time was arranged in a zigzag, the left was led by Haihu, the right was led by Cheng Zhijie, and the middle was led by Qin Qiong, and behind the vanguard cavalry was a herringbone is a thousand strange soldiers led by Zhang Xutuo, and behind this thousand cavalry are four phalanxes, each with 5,000 people.
Suddenly, a loud and thick voice resounded throughout the land:
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
Tens of thousands of voices shouted at the same time!
Immediately, the wind and clouds on the horizon moved!!
Qin Qiong led the cavalry vanguard to rush out first, although it was a charge, the three teams of cavalry were always in good shape. Looking at the cavalry of the other side, they rushed over in a horizontal line, but they were dressed shabby, and some of the war horses and cavalry did not even have armor and protection, and they were completely holding high steel knives and waving them indiscriminately.
Looking at the enemy army in front of him, Haihu knew that there was no Li Mi in the camp ahead, and he had already been ambushed in the dense forest north of the Great Sea Temple, he might be able to rely on his relationship with Qin Qiong to reverse the situation of being attacked from front to back, but when he saw Zhang Xutuo appear on the city wall, his instinct told him that he couldn't reverse it, and that feeling even asked him to go to battle with Zhang Xutuo.
Although Haihu didn't understand where this feeling came from, he felt that it could be an opportunity, an opportunity to change his current strength.
The three cavalry phalanxes were like a dark cloud, as if they were getting faster and faster with a gust of wind! Then, suddenly, the rolling dark clouds turned into a huge torrent and rushed into the enemy's cavalry.
In the wilderness outside Xingyang City, the cavalry of the Great Sui and Wagang Army finally collided fiercely! The cavalry of the vanguard immediately knocked people on their backs, and the cavalry turned over and fell off their horses, and then smashed into the cold ground and was trampled into meat by countless horses' hooves!
Raising the spear, a shot pierced the opponent's chest, and the powerful impact made the sea tiger carry the spear, and after piercing the chests of three people in a row, it continued to rush forward as if waving a sugar gourd.
The cavalry of the Wagang Army was really weak, and after these three torrents rushed out, they did not stop for a while, but rushed directly into the local infantry camp, the sea tiger threw away the spear in his hand, and drew out the steel knife with him to tear apart the enemy infantry queue that came into contact with the forefront, and the steel knife in his hand raised a strange arc, and then blood sprayed, and countless heads fell to the ground!
Seeing the other cavalry killed, the soldiers of the Wagang Army were already stunned, they really didn't expect their cavalry to be so weak, a charge had already wiped out the whole army, looking at the group of hungry wolves in front of them like a flock of sheep, their faces were still immersed in panic, until they were cut down by the suddenly crossed steel knife, they suddenly realized: It's over!
The charge of the three major cavalry phalanxes was like a dagger, directly cutting through the infantry phalanx of the Wagang army, and they were rushed to pieces, often the soldiers of Wagang had not yet reacted, and the cavalry of the cavalry phalanx had rushed to the front like thunder, and then the sharp spear, the moment the steel knife flashing with cold light was raised, it was immediately accompanied by a miserable cry resounding through the sky.
Finally, the infantry queue of the Wagang army could no longer support it, the soldiers roared and threw away the weapons and shields in their hands, and ran in all directions, but they still couldn't escape, the degree of two legs was not as fast as the four legs after all, and soon, although many people did not die under the knife, they were trampled by the hooves of thousands of horses behind, and then drowned in the torrent, and were crushed!
The sea tiger in the rush has been killed with red eyes, but his heart has always been as immobile as a mountain, and he is expressionless to rush to kill, just now the steel knife in his hand slashed on the shoulder of a soldier on the other side, and the knife was stuck in the gap between the bones of the person's shoulder, in a hurry, he could only pick up a spear that was crooked and slanted on the ground and did not know who left it to smash left and smash it left left and right, and swept out a passage in front, and the war horse he sat on was flying like four hooves, and the cavalry behind him followed closely behind him.
Pioneers should take the lead.
"Rush! Brothers, the time has come to capture Zhai Rang Li Mi alive and make meritorious contributions. ”
With Qin Qiong's shout, the three cavalry torrents continued to pursue the enemy, chasing in the direction of the Great Sea Temple, and at this moment, the ground was dyed with patches of seeping red, which looked very sad in the afterglow of the evening. The screams of the wounded reverberated across the battlefield, mixed with the sound of countless swords and spears piercing into the body and shattering bones.
But who would have thought that when they were chasing and killing Zhai Rang for more than ten miles, a group of very fierce thieves suddenly rushed out in the dense forest north of the Great Sea Temple, although there were only more than 1,000 people, but each of them was an elite of one and ten, and directly rushed into Zhang Xutuo's back and abdomen camp, almost making the Sui army's formation unstable, and the first to rush in was a tall man with a strange appearance and long hair and a shawl.
The person who came was Li Mi!!
This Li Mi is a master of the world, and there are countless people under him, and the people who are ambushed here are all selected by Li Mi's command, and everyone is tall and strong, even if there are only 1,000, they can be used as 5,000.
It just so happened that at this time, Zhai Rang's army, which was retreating, changed its appearance of defeat and suddenly killed a horse pistol. At this point, the battle of Dahai Temple finally kicked off.
