Chapter 166: The Might of the Xuanwu Army

These dozens of wounded soldiers, after hearing Zhang Xiu's words, you look at me, I look at you, looking at a loss.

I don't know who one of them said: "Brothers, life is the most important thing, let's descend." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they knelt down in front of Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu was also a person who kept his promises, and directly took them back to Zhang Ji's side, which was regarded as not breaking his promise and saving their lives.

Han Cheng was leading his Tianlong Guards to attack the Xiliang Army under Zhang Ji, and when he looked up and saw that Xu Huang in the battle was shot by Zhang Xiu, he fell off his horse and fell to the ground.

There was a pain in my heart: "The famous general Xu Huang has fallen like this." Could it be because of his arrival that it affected him? ”

While Han Cheng was heartbroken, the soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Guard relied on their archery skills and superb riding skills to tear through the defense line of the Xiliang Army alive and rushed towards the place where Xu Huang was.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others watched in the army, and said in their hearts: "Is it worth it to work so hard for a 'dead man'?" ”

There is an old saying: 'The soft ones are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the dead.' ’

The Xiliang Army is horizontal, and the Tianlong Guards are like they don't want to die.

Looking at the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were constantly being shot, Li Wei ordered: "Let the army make way for them, and then surround them, I see that they are so powerful, how can they get out after saving this 'dead man'?" ”

With the order of Li Wei, the commander of the Xiliang Army, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army quickly made way for Han Cheng and the others.

In fact, even without Li Dao's order, Han Cheng and the others still have a way.

Because the soldiers on the battlefield did not dare to step forward, they always kept a certain distance from Han Cheng and the others.

After all, the archery is too accurate, and if you get a little closer, you're here to die.

I haven't enjoyed enough of such a comfortable life in Chang'an.

Seeing that the Western Liang Army had given way to a road, Han Cheng led the Heavenly Dragon Guards and quickly rushed in the direction of Xu Huang.

Because there was no one to stop them, Han Cheng and the others rushed to Xu Huang effortlessly.

Without waiting for Han Cheng to speak, a soldier quickly turned over and dismounted, lying on Xu Huang's body to check his life breath.

After the examination, the soldier whispered to Han Cheng: "Tell the lord, there is still qi, but it is only temporarily due to excessive blood loss......

Han Cheng interrupted him in time and made a silent gesture to him. The heart said: "It's good to live." ”

At this time, the Xiliang army had begun to gradually encircle Han Cheng and others.

At the same time, the Xiliang army suddenly gave way to a road, and Li Dao took Zhang Ji, Guo Yan and others out of the road and said to Han Cheng, "Who is coming?" Why are you attacking my imperial army? ”

Li Dao is right, he is now a serious man, chasing and killing the emperor's 'imperial court' army.

Han Cheng saw that Xu Huang had already been rescued, although the Xiliang army had begun to surround himself and others, he still had the Xuanwu Army as a 'back hand', and the longer it dragged on, the more beneficial it would be to himself.

He put on a very respectful appearance and said to Li Wei: "I am Han Cheng, the pastor of the state." The person on the other side is the great Sima Li Dao of the current dynasty? ”

When Li Dao heard Han Cheng call himself Da Sima, he was slightly proud in his heart.

After all, in Li Dao's view, it is much more valuable for a feudal official like the state pastor to call himself a big Sima than a minister in the court to call himself a big horse.

So Li Wei smiled slightly and said to Han Cheng: "It turned out to be Han Zhoumu."

It's really better to be famous than to meet, Han Zhoumu not only has a good way of governing the state, but also leads the army to fight so bravely.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet Han Zhoumu for the first time, and it turned out to be such a scene.

It's better for us to join forces and wait for the rescue of Emperor Han Xian. Wouldn't it be nice to go back to Chang'an together, eat together, drink and see the beauties when you have nothing to do on weekdays? ”

After Han Cheng heard Li Dao's 'kind words', he said in his heart: "Just kidding, if you go to Chang'an, can you still go back to Bingzhou?" ”

I had to reply in a soft and rigid tone: "Lord Li's kindness, I understand it." But what I want to do has been done, so I won't go to Chang'an, so I'll talk about it when I have time. ”

Looking at the Xiliang army that surrounded him and the others, Han Cheng said with a joking look: "Let's just go by ourselves, Master Li doesn't need to arrange someone to send it." ”

After Li Wei heard Han Cheng's words, he felt that Han Cheng rejected him in front of the army, making him very faceless, and a nameless fire was born in his heart.

So, Li Dao found a reluctant reason for himself, and yelled at Han Cheng loudly: "Han Zhoumu, feel free to come and go here, when this is your home?" ”

Han Cheng raised his head and said solemnly, "This is my home?" Alright, now please get out. ”

Li Dao: "......"

Zhang Ji hurriedly came out to play a round, after all, for Zhang Ji, what can be solved with words, it is best not to use knives and guns.

said softly to Han Cheng: "Han Zhoumu, you are a bit of a villain's belly, we kindly invited you to Chang'an for dinner, how can you be so faceless?" ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he hurriedly added: "It's not, Han Zhoumu." Think about it, if it wasn't for me, how could you have your current position as the state pastor? We used to be friends. ”

When Han Cheng heard Li Dao's words, he just wanted to laugh.

As soon as these words came out, Li Dao's low political consciousness was exposed.

Han Cheng secretly told himself in his heart: Now is a good opportunity to wash white.

But I couldn't hold it back, so I could only say proudly: "Lord Li said that it was funny, my position of state pastor was canonized by His Majesty the Emperor himself, I don't know what it has to do with Lord Li?"

Listening to the meaning of Lord Li's words, it seems that he can give an order on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor? ”

After Li Dao finished speaking, Zhang Jixin said: "I'd rather have a god-like opponent than a pig-like teammate." ”

Li Wei also felt the mistake in his words just now, so he had to silently calculate in his heart: according to the foot strength of his army, he should have surrounded Han Cheng and the others, so he ordered angrily: "The whole army will attack, and those who kill Han Cheng will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold." ”

Han Cheng looked at the Heavenly Dragon Guards beside him and said in his heart, "Cut, come on." Even if your army of 50,000 can kill me today, before you kill me, you will definitely pay a terrible price. Not to mention that it can't kill me. ”

At the same time as Li Dao had just finished giving the order, a scout came to Li Dao and said, "General, another cavalry team of more than 6,000 people has appeared in the north, and judging by the costumes, it is the same as this group of people surrounded by us. But this group of men was very strange, and when they reached a mile from our army, they dismounted one after another, and were putting armor on themselves. ”

After listening to Tanma's words, Li Wei looked up to the sky and laughed, and said to Han Cheng: "Haha, this is your 'back hand'."

It seems that there is no one in the state, let you, a stupid boy, be the master of the house, and sure enough, he responded to the sentence, 'There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm'.

Not even a single cavalry could be trained, and more than 6,000 horses were wasted.

However, using infantry to charge the battle to save the cavalry, I really want to ask, do you not understand or are you really stupid? ”

Han Cheng knew that it was his Xuanwu army that came, and when he saw Li Dao so lightly attacking the enemy, he was overjoyed: "You are arrogant, the more arrogant you are, the more Xiliang troops will die in a while." ”

When he heard that the reinforcements were only about 6,000 troops, and they were still infantry, Guo Yan, who was brave and a little calculating, said: "Li Dao, these 6,000 people are handed over to me. A thousand cavalry here, you and Zhang Ji deal with it, it's not too much, right? ”

Since the conflict between Li Dao and Guo Yan, Guo Yan has never called Li Dao's expression again-childish. Even after reconciling, I never called it.

Li Dao said in his heart: "Guo Yan, Guo Yan, you have a lot of eyes?" You also saw it just now, these people around Han Cheng are all people with accurate archery, and they are obviously hard bones, and they want me to gnaw on them, hum. ”

Then he said unhappily: "Brother Guo, how easy it is for cavalry to attack the infantry, you are too ruthless to pick it up."

Well, the army you brought with you is about 18,000 men, and you lead 10,000 men to kill the 6,000 infantry from the north.

As for the remaining 8,000 people, you can let the general lead them to defend the north and prevent Han Cheng's cavalry from escaping, this arrangement is not excessive, right? ”

Li Wei knew that Guo Yan's command of the soldiers and horses could not be handed over to him, so he could only say this.

Guo Yan thought about it in his heart, this is okay, his losses will not be very big compared with Li Dao and others, so he said: "Okay, just do as you say." ”

Li Dao said in his heart: "Guo Yan, you are a big stupid hat, you can't play me with a brain, if you don't play to death this time, I won't be called Li Dao." Han Cheng's soldiers and horses are bound to break through, and the best direction is the direction of the reinforcements that just came from the north, let your soldiers and horses guard the north, and see if the final casualties will not hurt you. ”

......

Fu Zhu led the Xuanwu Army, and behind Han Cheng, they also came non-stop.

When there was still a mile away from the battlefield, Fu Zhi ordered: "The Xuanwu army listens to the order, dismounts and puts on armor." ”

This is also the scene that Tanma reported to Li Dao after seeing it.

I have to say that this crooked 'dismount and armor' really made Li Dao and others despise it and relax their vigilance.

Because of the large number of armor in the Xuanwu Army, the wearing time is relatively slow.

When Guo Yan led the army to charge here, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army had just put on their armor and were ready to set up their formation.

Guo Yan was at the front of the charging team, looking at the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army who had just finished putting on their armor, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Haha, I just finished wearing the armor, like a 'girl', grinding and chirping." Brothers, can you do it over the? ”

The cavalry behind Guo Yan laughed and said, "You can do it, you can do it several at a time." "It's just that the word 'dry' is a bit rippling.

When Guo Yan led his army to rush to only half a mile away from the Xuanwu Army, the three thousand Xuanwu soldiers had already put on their armor and lined up in a neat formation, waiting for the arrival of Guo Yan's cavalry army.

Guo Yan is also a battle-hardened person, and when he saw the military formation of the Xuanwu Army, he put away his smile, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

In the past, he led the cavalry to storm the infantry camp, and there was no infantry camp that he was not afraid of.

Before the battle, the infantry's camp had already begun to be chaotic, and their own cavalry relied on the impact of their horses to cause great damage to the infantry in the chaos.

But today's camp is clearly different, and this group of soldiers has no intention of panicking.

But when the cavalry charged, it was like a bow and arrow on the string, and it had to be fired.

Even if Guo Yan didn't want to charge anymore, the war horse under his crotch would make him have to charge.

Pan Feng, the commander of the Xuanwu Army, saw that the enemy army was approaching, and ordered the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army: "Raise your weapons and meet the enemy." ”

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Army raised their weapons in unisonβ€”spears, spears, halberds, knives, and axes...... Because everyone's weapon must have a long handle, a long word is added in front of the name of the weapon.

When the cavalry hits the infantry, it stands to reason that it should be overwhelming, and it only takes one time to smash the infantry's formation to pieces, and then strangle it like a leek.

But this time, it's different.

The Xuanwu Army is like a rock that has endured the waves in the sea for a long time, no matter how big the waves are, I still don't move.

It resisted the first wave of cavalry impact, not only did the formation not mess up, but also caused a lot of damage to the Xiliang cavalry.

Because of the impact inertia of the war horse under the crotch, the Xiliang cavalry involuntarily crashed into the erected long-handled weapon, and for a while, there were countless casualties.

Pan Feng saw that the cavalry was rushing continuously, and his loud voice played a role at this time, and an order like thunder was conveyed: "The whole army is attacking." ”

After the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army heard the order, they formed a group of twos, one cut the soldiers on the upper horse, and the other cut the legs of the war horse below, and the cooperation was seamless.

The five hundred cavalry at the front of Guo Yan's command rushed into the military formation of the Xuanwu Army, like a small pebble falling into the lake, only stirring up a small wave, and then sank to the bottom of the lake, silent.

The cavalry behind saw that the cavalry in front not only did not cause confusion to the infantry on the opposite side, but rushed to the weapons of the soldiers on the opposite side as if they were looking for death.

I was taken aback, this was completely different from the imaginary scene, so I hurriedly reined in the war horse under my crotch and waited for the latest military order in place.

Guo Yan was also stunned, and said in his heart: "Is this still an infantry?" Fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't go in just now, otherwise, he would have gone to heaven now. ”

Seeing that the cavalry was stopped, Pan Feng ordered: "The Xuanwu army advances to attack. ”

Pan Feng's words were like a key that opened a 'treasure chest' for attack.

When Guo Yan saw it, he rushed over, but he hadn't thought of a way to break the enemy.

So he had to give the order first: "The whole army retreats." ”

As a result, there was a strange scene on the battlefield in the north - 3,000 infantry chased nearly 10,000 cavalry and fled in the direction of the base camp.

Although these infantry are covered with thick heavy armor, this is an infantry chasing cavalry that has never been seen before.

Although it is said that it can't catch up, this kind of scene is rare to see in a hundred years.
