Chapter 1118: It's Snowing
Xia Mu, who was in Chang'an Lingyi, would never believe that the forward troops brought by General Fei Qian of the expedition to the west this time were only four or five hundred horsemen.
If it was only four or five hundred horsemen, then how did they break through Zhao Wen's defense line in Suyi?
Xia Mu hesitated.
However, Zhang Xiu's subordinates did not even have five hundred horses, although it was said that five hundred people were brought out from Diaoyin, but when walking the mountain road, it was indeed not conducive to traveling, and it was not only people who were damaged, but also war horses.
And Zhang Xiu, after all, was young and vigorous, and he only left some soldiers near the mountain pass to take care of the wounded and injured horses, and then led the remaining more than 400 cavalry to Chang'an!
And what's interesting is that these cavalry under the general Fei Qian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, and they didn't even think that there would be too much pressure on the nearly 10,000 soldiers who directly faced Chang'an, after all, they only had more than 400 horsemen......
It was as if they were not four hundred, but four thousand, or even forty thousand, so they followed Zhang Xiu, unfurled their banners and swaggered by.
The strength of the Han border army and the northern cavalry are now picked up again and erected in their hearts.
The night had already shrouded the land of Guanzhong, Zhang Xiu immediately stopped on a small hill, and the surrounding cavalry gathered and stood quietly behind Zhang Xiu.
Not far from before and after is Xia Mu's camp, but poor Xia Mu does not have many cavalry at all, Guanzhong has not many war horses at all under several tosses, and the only ones that remain were taken away by Zhao Wen, and the rest are barely acting as some scouts and messengers, and they are no longer able to become an army of scale.
Zhang Xiu looked into the distance, only to see that in the camp under Xia Mu, the light of the torches rippled in the night, and suddenly felt a cold face, and when he looked up, there were some small snowflakes floating in the sky.
"It's snowing...... Zhang Xiu muttered, then quickly turned his head and ordered: "It's snowing, take advantage of the fact that the snow is not heavy, hurry up and raise the fire and put up the flag!" Let these guts know that Lao Tzu is here! ”
Soon, the soldiers gathered some of the broken branches and trees, lit a bonfire on the top of the hill, and then stood a long white cloth flag behind the bonfire......
The white-faced banner of the long pole fluttered, and under the light of the bonfire, four large purple and black characters appeared on it, and I don't know whether it was written in ink or blood, "Zhao Wen is dead!" ”
In the night, in the bushes and grasses, a few black shadows came out, and then quickly stuck to the ground and went to Xia Mu's camp......
………………………………
Since joining the army, Li Xian has taken the lead, almost life and death, before he climbed from the bottom soldier to the position of the captain, and if he wants to go up, it is even more difficult.
Lieutenants will always be held only by those with family backgrounds, and even these people start out as a captain, and then stay in the army for three or two months, and then become a lieutenant of 800 or even 1,000 stones......
On Tongguan, he was placed under house arrest by Xu Shu, so he could only smell the smell of feces and urine every day, looking at the small door hole in front of him, waiting for an unknown fate, and even Li Xian thought that this life is estimated to be like this, and the previous efforts and efforts were all in vain.
But if that's the case, a good man will spend the rest of his life in such a decadent way, it's better to really die!
Fortunately, God gave me another chance......
Well, it was General Zhengxi who gave himself another chance, a chance to stand up again with martial bravery and military merits!
Li Xian roared like thunder, and took the lead in the city gate hole, the sword light was unfolded, and he had already cut down two Zhao Wen soldiers who could not dodge near the city gate, and the splitter snatched a wooden spear, and threw it out after changing hands, shooting down one of the soldiers who rushed to the chest! Several soldiers who followed Li Xian also rushed to kill, slashing and killing the soldiers near the city gate cave to the point of rolling and crawling, and the screams were continuous.
On the street, Zhao Wen jumped to his feet in a hurry, and loudly ordered the soldiers to step forward and close the city gate, but such a thick city gate, and Li Xian was desperately slashing, since it had been opened, how could it be closed in an instant?
The soldiers who came in a hurry lay on the battlements of the city gate, leaned out, and shot at the people who kept approaching along the drawbridge, and there was already a thin layer of ice slag on the moat, and from time to time someone was shot, screaming and falling into the moat, splashing broken ice and splashing water.
Even so, there were still more people who rushed straight into the doorway along this bloody road, and stood with Li Xian, advancing inward step by step against Zhao Wen's soldiers.
Li Xianchong was at the front, because he had no way out. The people who killed the Yang family, even if they surrendered back, would only have their heads on the ground, since this was the case, they could only go to the end of the road, and the people who initiated the ruthless attack have always made other people afraid of three points.
Both sides were eager to control the city gate, so a huge flesh millstone was formed, and people continued to die, and fresh flesh and blood continued to fill in.
Li Xian has already suffered a little injury, and there is no way to do it, after all, the city gate hole is so big, and there are people around it, so it is inconvenient to move, and sometimes he can only fight to exchange his life for injury!
A Zhao Wen's soldier made a hole in Li Xian's arm, and then Li Xian stabbed him with a long knife with his backhand......
The sky was gloomy, scattered with a few snowflakes, swirling and fluttering, as if very reluctant to leave the pure sky, and about to fall to the earth full of blood and filth.
Li Xian's body suddenly staggered, and he tilted to the side, and at the moment when Li Xian stood out from the door, Zhao Wen's soldiers on the city gate involuntarily aimed the arrows in their hands at this obviously leading person.
Arrows burst through the snowflakes and roared!
Several soldiers rushed forward with shields against their shields, blocking the front.
A sword and shield bearer, although covering his upper body with a shield, was shot in the leg and fell to the ground screaming.
Li Xian squatted behind the shield, grinning and baring his teeth, breaking the arrow that shot into his arm, then lifted the shield that fell to the ground, and shouted at the soldier who was hit by the arrow in the leg: "Climb to the side!" You'll be trampled to death in the middle! ”
Immediately, he couldn't care about the soldier anymore, and reluctantly put the shield on his arm, then raised his sword, and shouted: "Kill! This city is ours! ”
More than 100 soldiers rushed forward after Li Xian, and some people poured into the city gate, and ran around the gallop to attack those soldiers on the city wall.
The soldiers of Zhao Wen on the city wall shouted and screamed, and shot arrows down frantically.
Li Xian only heard the sound of tuks on the shield, and he didn't know how many arrows he had blocked, and many of his own soldiers beside him were also hit by arrows, so they fell down with a scream......
Inside and outside the city, there were all screams and screams, and there was a mess of chaos, and not many people noticed that a group of men and horses appeared from the north, and under the banner of General Zhengxi, they rushed towards Suyi City!
It wasn't until it was approaching that Zhao Wen's soldiers, who were attracted by the south gate, suddenly discovered a new situation and reported it to Zhao Wen with a shout, which frightened Zhao Wen's hands and feet suddenly......
Fei Qian followed the large army and arrived at the city of Suyi in a blink of an eye.
The snowflakes in the sky fluttered and fell on people's faces and hands, cold and cold, but they could not annihilate the burning battle intent in the hearts of the warriors.
"Wei Heizi, are you ready?" Fei Qian turned his head and shouted loudly.
Wei Du shouted loudly: "Wait for the general's order!" ”
"Good!" Fei Qian raised his horsewhip, then pointed at Su Yi and shouted, "The cavalry on both wings stepped forward to suppress the city, and Wei Heizi led the Xuanjia soldiers into the city!" I want to end the battle in two hours and enjoy the snow on the top of the city! ”
The crowd agreed.
Under the wave of the flag, Zhang Ji took the lead in rushing out of the array with the cavalry, and began to gallop around the city along the moat on the left and right. For these lightly armored cavalry cavalry archery, running is just a basic skill, of course, whether you can shoot seven or eight out of ten arrows, that is the gap between the general and the small soldiers, if it is only used to suppress the city and disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's attack, the covering arrow rain can also be.
The sound of war drums became more and more urgent, and Wei Du began to walk towards Suyi City with his people.
Because the armor on his body was heavier, Wei Du and other heavy-armored soldiers who were hiding behind the sword and shield hand did not run as fast as light-armored foot soldiers, but pressed towards the Suyi city gate step by step unhurriedly.
Zhao Wen's troops at the head of the city were obviously panicked, and they didn't know what to do, some of them shot at Li Xian's soldiers inside the city gate, and the other part turned around and shot at Wei Du and the others who were newly pressed, and some people were running back and forth, holding arrows with bows open, but they didn't know which side they should shoot......
"Get out of here!"
Wei Du saw that he was already approaching the city gate, so he roared angrily, then pulled the mask down, and then picked up a heavy axe, and trotted briskly along the passage in front of him that was opened by the sword and shield hand.
When more than 100 big men dressed in heavy armor and began to run, their momentum was even several times more terrifying than that of their stragglers, not to mention that Fei Qian's heavy armor soldiers had experienced continuous baptism in the previous battles, each of which was a carefully selected soldier with superior force, coupled with a well-forged armor, it was almost the most terrifying war machine!
Under the trampling of Wei Du and others, the suspension bridge of Suyi made a somewhat overwhelmed squeaky sound, and some soldiers who couldn't dodge even bumped into Wei Du and others, and were directly knocked down the moat!
"Die!"
Wei Du roared from behind the mask, rushed to the front of Li Xian, and then single-handedly tossed aside a few of his own soldiers who were still fighting in front like chickens and ducklings, and then raised his long-handled battle axe, and two steps forward was a sweep!
Originally, Wei Du still used a knife, but after seeing the battle axe of the Xianbei warrior, he felt that the battle axe was more worthy of his own hand, so he begged Fei Qian to transfer the battle axe to him, and the craftsman refined the blade of the axe and replaced the handle of the axe. And when he takes the tomahawk and moves in the wheel, he really looks like a humanoid beast.
The blade of the heavy tomahawk moon ring is almost indestructible, but everything that stands in front of the axe, touches the arm, the arm separates from the body, touches the chest, the chest separates from the abdomen, touches the neck, the neck separates from the skull, and even touches the spear, shield and armor, all under the axe, falling apart!
In the blood mist that rose from the sky, Wei Du let out a roar that he didn't know whether it was excitement or satisfaction, and a long breath of white gas erupted from behind the mask, accompanied by fluttering snowflakes, and crashed headlong into the recalcitrant array of Zhao Wen's soldiers on the streets of Suyi!
Li Xian saw that Wei Du had already pressed Zhao Wen's soldiers back, and breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that everything in his body hurt, especially the position of the arm that was shot was already numb to pain, as if it didn't belong to him.
Following a heavily armored soldier from Wei Du, when he passed by Li Xian's side, he stretched out his iron-clad gloves, patted Li Xian's shoulder, and said, "Good job!" Let's go and rest first, here, let's do it. ”
Li Xian gritted his teeth, for the sake of his future, it was not time to rest, so he took a few deep breaths, and then followed behind Wei Du and the others, guarding the flanks of these heavily armored soldiers, and expanding the gap in the battle formation of Zhao Wen's soldiers.
"Stop him! Fast! Quickly block him...... "Before the mansion, Zhao Wen waved his long sword and saw Wei Du rushing into his troops with heavy armor, like a wild bull rushing into the flock of chickens and ducks, crushing, bullying, and unscrupulously slashing his soldiers' array to pieces, and couldn't help but shout in panic.
“…… Obstruct...... Obstruct...... Can't stop it......" The captain who commanded the soldiers in front of Zhao Wen shouted with a hint of crying, like a little girl who was about to be bullied by a wicked man, "Envoy, withdraw, withdraw!" If you don't leave, it's too late! ”
"......" Zhao Wen was silent for a while, then simply lowered his long sword silently, and then quickly withdrew backwards under the protection of the guards.
"Zhao Wen ran away! Zhao Wen ran away! ”
Li Xian, who was following behind Wei Du, saw Zhao Wen's actions, so he shouted loudly, and suddenly many people turned their heads to look, and when they saw that Zhao Wen really flinched and fled, these soldiers who were on the verge of collapse threw their blades to the ground one after another, and fell to their knees, unwilling to fight anymore.
The west gate of Suyi slammed down, put down the drawbridge, and then Zhao Wen rushed out of the city gate with no fighting spirit and rushed towards Chang'an.
"Prince!" Seeing this, Zhang Ji, who had returned to Fei Qian's side, hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Please order to pursue!" ”
Fei Qian did not answer immediately, but sat quietly on the horse's back and watched for a moment. When he saw that many of Zhao Wen's soldiers even did not hesitate to push away the original comrades who were blocking in front of them in order to grab a way to escape, or even cut them down, he nodded with a smile and said, "Good! Pursue Baili and defeat it completely! ”
