Volume 1 Crossing the Tang Dynasty Chapter 85 Eagle Village

In the majestic mountains, the howls of wolves hunting are undulating.

Groups of cavalry galloped in formation, kicking up billowing smoke and dust, the rumbling hooves of horses were mixed with the sonorous sound of swords, and in the mist spewed out by many war horses, countless faces that had experienced wind and frost loomed.

Behind the cavalry were neat infantry, their heavy and uniform footsteps and the sound of armor rattling and vibrating, like the gradual muffled thunder of distant mountains, rolling like bamboos.

The raging mountain wind swept the dust under the team's feet, and the steaming heat poured out from the strong armor. The breathtaking military might made the arrogant wind have to calm down, and stopped abruptly in front of the team, just holding its breath and flicking the battle flag of the team.

The status of the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty is very high, and it is very honorable for a man to serve the country by being a soldier and fighting in war, obtaining a knighthood or dying on the battlefield to serve the country. The government soldiers have all kinds of training, and they usually have the task of practicing martial arts at home. There is a trial reading every winter, and each time it is on the occasion, it is necessary to concentrate on teaching and reading, and teaching and fighting in the battle is also the main content of training. Because of the martial trend and open folk customs, the Tang Dynasty's government soldiers had strong combat effectiveness.

What Mr. Wang was worried about unfortunately happened.

The Eagle Village was in great trouble, and it was surrounded by the Tang Army.

He knew too well the current combat strength of the rebels, and he simply could not withstand too much attack. As a result, he developed a combat strategy that could not be held out.

According to Mr. Wang's strategy, Eagle Village may be able to be saved. But Tan Ruyi was carried away by the previous victories, and ordered his subordinates to go out of the village to meet the enemy, full of energy.

What was surprising was that the rebels actually defeated the Tang Dynasty soldiers in one fell swoop, which greatly encouraged the rebels and their morale was high.

The bad thing is that he won the first battle, and Tan Ruyi became even more arrogant, trying his best to change Mr. Wang's strategy, and once again led the army to attack the government soldiers.

As everyone knows, the previous time the government soldiers were deliberately defeated, the purpose was to lure the rebels to attack, and they were not afraid that you would fight, but they were afraid that you would defend to the death.

Without the slightest drag, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty immediately started a fierce battle with the rebels.

Fighting face-to-face, soldiers poke their hearts with iron spears, cut off their heads and cut off their limbs, and the vast open space is a slaughterhouse for people to eat people.

Blood is like infusion, tears are like rain, and seeing the companions who get along day and night continue to cross the battlefield, their eyes are redder and more ruthless.

Looking at the front, the left and right sides are layers of soldiers holding murder weapons, wave after wave charging at the same time, the soldiers hit and flashed the cold sonorous sound of ice to the bones, screams and screams one after another, the soldiers' blood-red eyes made the sun feel dim, there was no room for retreat, only the weak and the strong, there was always one side that could not support it and completely fell.

The combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty soldiers was fully displayed at this moment, and the rebels were gradually surrounded and eaten away by the government soldiers.

War is ruthless, and the other side will not show mercy just because you are weak.

Before dark, the rebels were almost completely killed. The government soldiers did not allow it to linger and continued to attack, but the rebels finally had no strength to fight back and resist, and fled back to the eagle village like a tide, unable to defend it.

Gorgeously draw a circle, and finally return to the original point. Tan Ruyi finally returned to the plan that Mr. Wang had made before, but after this toss, he lost nearly half of his troops in vain. Today, there are less than 4,000 people left guarding the Eagle Village, and Tan Ruyi no longer has many chips in his hands.

If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like allies.

At this moment, Mr. Wang didn't even have the strength to scold Tan Ruyi. He knew in his heart that in this situation, he could only take one step at a time.

"If you want to capture Eagle Village, it's not so easy!" Mr. Wang muttered to himself hatefully.

As the nest of the rebels, Eagle Village was personally selected by Mr. Wang.

The Eagle Village is built on the mountain, with knife-like cliffs on three sides, and even monkeys don't want to climb it! Only one side can be accessed, but it is also very narrow and steep.

The eagle village built on the mountain was originally entrenched by dozens of mountain bandits and thieves. After the rebels entered the Eagle Village, under the command of Mr. Wang, they quickly built a large number of defensive facilities, and in only a short period of time, the rebels turned it into a military fortress that was easy to use and difficult to attack.

It is not too much to say that Eagle Village is "a husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open".

……

"Bang bang bang" The military camp of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was full of cannons.

"Attention! They're attacking again! The rebel generals shouted loudly.

The soldiers who were lined up in a horizontal line walked out of the barracks, and after the whole team, they began to advance slowly.

At the front is the shield soldier, which is protected against the arrows in the wall.

Behind were countless crossbowmen, and finally a terrible pikeman, covered by cavalry galloping on both flanks.

The narrow and steep path in front of the cottage was the only place where the government soldiers could attack, and no matter how many troops and horses there were, they could only line up in a column to send them to death.

The rebels drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the soldiers who surrounded them like ants.

With a rough shout, the rebels began to attack first, and arrows and stones poured down on the Tang army like hailstones, causing confusion in the opponent's formation, and had to temporarily stop advancing.

After a short rest, the golden drums sounded in unison, the sound of killing shook the sky, and another wave of attacks was launched.

The biggest impact on the government soldiers, the falling boulder. The boulder descended down the mountain, and the soldiers who had nowhere to hide were killed or wounded, and the rest scattered in panic to hide.

As the boulders ran over one after another, the formation of the government soldiers became more and more chaotic. The attacking Tang army was attacked by stones, and countless corpses of various shapes stretched from the front of the mountain wall to the bottom of the mountain.

The brave government soldiers and death squads desperately moved forward, and when they reached the firing range, the rebels responded to the flood of government soldiers with flying arrows flying in the sky, and launched several attacks one after another, but they had to return with a feather.

The night was like a black curtain falling from the sky, enveloping the earth tightly, but the front of the eagle village was as bright as day, and the warring sides lit thousands of lanterns and torches, illuminating the mountains and mountains.

In the firelight, the knife flashed on the narrow road in front of the cottage, it was the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and the rebel soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, all kinds of limbs fell to the ground like autumn leaves, the soldiers on both sides were so brave and fierce, the corpses in front fell, the warriors in the back picked up, and each round of confrontation left a mountain of corpses......

"Handsome! Handsome! A sweaty lieutenant arrived, and hurriedly reported to Li Qianli without waiting for a salute, "The rebels are desperately defending, and they have organized several strong attacks without success, and their subordinate officers have suffered heavy casualties......

"Stop attacking! Organize people to rest and fight again tomorrow! ”

The order was quickly conveyed, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty withdrew from their positions silently.

Li Qianli looked back at the night that was silently lowering, the mountain was decorated with torches illuminated by the rebels, and the sound of cheers was faintly heard in the wind, and they were also waiting for the attack of the Tang army tomorrow.

It was already very late at night, Li Qianli and Wan Guojun were not sleepy, and the generals in the army were all summoned to the commander's tent to discuss tomorrow's war.

It stands to reason that Lu Xiaoxian is not qualified to participate in the military meeting, but the Liuren army and the rebels have had several fierce battles and are more familiar with the situation of the rebels, so Li Qianli overrode the public opinion and let Li Xun and Lu Xiaoxian attend the meeting.

There was silence in the tent, whether it was the commander and the supervising army, or the generals, no one could think of a way to break through the Eagle Village.

Just when everyone was at a loss for what to do, Wan Guojun coughed lightly and said, "Master Lu, I don't know what you think?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled bitterly in his heart, this guy can't change the problem of liking calculating people, it is estimated that behind asking this, I don't know what conspiracy is hidden!

Everyone turned their eyes to Lu Xiaoxian.

On weekdays, even if Wan Guojun named him, he would pretend to be stupid. But now, he didn't plan to be silent, and the elimination of Tan Ruyi was also what he was looking forward to, and he couldn't hide it anymore.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian cleared his throat and said: "Attack head-on, don't say you can't attack, even if you can attack, the casualties will be too great, and the gains outweigh the losses." So, we had to find a different way! ”

Wan Guojun raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Xiaoxian and asked, "What do you mean by finding a different way?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian pondered for a while, and then said: "Find a way to go up from the cliff behind the Eagle Village, and then combine the inside and the outside to break the Eagle Village in one fell swoop!" ”

The cliffs behind Eagle Village?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"You're light!" A government soldier general's face was full of disdain, and his saliva was flying, "As soon as we came, we carefully surveyed the terrain, the cliff was twenty or thirty zhang, steep, and the grass and trees were sparse, the mountains and rocks were loose, and when the wind rose, the gravel rolled down, and even the eagles did not dare to make a nest, and it was impossible to climb up!" ”

The general's words basically represent the opinions of everyone present. These people have gone through many wars, and they don't even have such a little eyesight, so won't they be laughed out of their big teeth?

Lu Xiaoxian is a hairy boy who has not dried up, he doesn't know how thick the sky is, in front of so many people, he came up with such a ridiculous idea, wouldn't he slap everyone in the face?

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at the general, and said lightly: "Even you don't think it's impossible to climb up, the rebels will definitely think so, no matter how difficult it is, we have to find a way to go up, this is our only chance!" ”

Wan Guojun said leisurely: "Since Lu Gongzi can think of the cliff, I'm afraid there is already a way!" In this way, this matter will be handed over to the Wanderer Army! ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled coldly: I knew that you didn't have any good intentions, and sure enough, you finally showed your true colors.

Listening to Wan Guojun's words, Li Xun couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Wan Guojun to be in the middle of the army! At this moment he felt the gaze of all people, or surprise, or disdain, or contempt, or mockery......

Li Xun didn't dare to express his position easily, he looked at Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian remained silent and nodded at him slightly.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian was so calm, Li Xun had a bottom in his heart, he stood up with a sigh of relief, and bowed his hand to Wan Guojun: "Since the Lord of the Prison Army looks up to the rogue army so much, then I am willing to dare to give it a try!" ”

"There is no joke in the army!" Wan Guojun squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xun, who was angry at the bullfight, "If you miss a major military situation, you will lose your head!" ”

Li Xun replied loudly: "There is no joke in the army!" I would like to make a military order! ”

"If so, then it is a certainty! I will give you what you want, and you must attack the Eagle Village within three days. Speaking of this, Wan Guojun smiled coldly and said murderously, "If it is overdue, all the Liuren Army will be beheaded in front of the battle, and no one will be left!" ”
