Chapter 481: Angry Horse Dust

The weak, dim sun struggled on the edge of the horizon, gradually falling. Only a faint light could penetrate the dark clouds above Li Cun's attacking army, and it seemed that a downpour would fall in the next moment, completely extinguishing the irrepressible anger.

Not long after Tang Longzhang left, Li Cunjin began to feel uneasy. The white robe still stood at the head of the city, unmoved. The rainstorm did not come as promised, and the entire battlefield was ravaged into a swamp. Although the other guard on Li Cunjin's side was eager to fight, without Li Cunjin's order, he had to continue to guard the horses and baggage here.

Li Cunjin's face was solemn, he was anxious to take Heluo City, so he made a desperate bet here, staring at the white clothes above the city like an eagle falcon. Just waiting for Tang Longzhang to return, he rushed to the "isolated" Heluo City again.

"The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun. The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple. Li Cunjin muttered to himself, as if he remembered the scene when he went out with his father. It's just that trapped here at this time, there is always a kind of sadness of the twilight of the hero.

When I heard Li Keyong say it, I always felt that it was just a simple truth, but after pondering it over the years, I realized that all kinds of deep meanings can only be experienced by myself. In the twilight of the western mountains, smoke and dust are splashed in the distance. Li Cunjin felt bad, raised his hand and signaled, and asked everyone to take off the Jinpa and cover their mouths and noses. Everyone didn't dare to be different, and immediately did so. Remove the cloth towel you have with you to wrap around your head and cover your face, leaving only your eyes exposed.

Because there was no turban on his head, and he did not wear a hood, he showed his hair, which was fixed with a hairpin, which was very easy to identify compared to the people and horses rushing in the smoke and dust at this time. Before the arrival of the army, Li Cunjin already sighed, "Tang Longzhang has been defeated." Before the horses appeared, Li Cunjin suddenly raised his hand, and the two hundred horsemen behind him were fan-shaped, rushing into the enemy formation head-on, and quickly exchanged hands with the defenders of Heluo City, who were rushing quickly.

The defenders of Heluo City were menacing, but they found horses and weapons from nowhere, and the dust was flying all around, and they did not know how many enemies there were, where the main force was, and no one knew how to meet them. The right flank of the vanguard of Heluo City was defeated by the hundred cavalry, and it was truly organized, but Li Cunjin felt a tightness in his chest and shouted "Medium plan"!

It turned out that the defenders of Heluo City were mixed with Tang Longzhang's advance troops. Pulling each other, they rushed towards Li Cun's garrison. And these hundred cavalry charged, obviously killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. And the true strength of Heluo City has not yet been reflected.

In the dust and smoke, about one or two thousand cavalry had gathered in the middle of the road, but they did not form a battle formation, and they still did not know where the enemy came from. As for the left side, when Li Qifeng entered the formation for the second time, it was completely scattered. At this moment, before it was too late to form a formation, hundreds of defenders of Luocheng rushed in.

After eating a trench and growing wise, the soldiers led by Li Cunjin learned from the experience just now, first vertically separated the defenders of Heluo City who rushed to attack from the brigade gathered in the middle, and then repeatedly returned to their horses and shot arrows, driving them to another river, so that they could avoid the cover of smoke and dust and expose them to the field of vision.

Losing the natural barrier, the situation of the defenders of Heluo City took a sharp turn for the worse. A group of Li Cunjin personally led the cavalry to rush to the river, then returned to the horse, drew a big knife and stepped on the wet mud in the river to kill the defenders of Heluo City. Then, under the call of the whistle, these cavalry abandoned the defenders of Helo City, who had lost their horses in the muddy water, and ran along the river bank all the way to the southwest to join the brigade.

This is the first-for-tat, very tragic!

Li Cunjin still had a calm face, sitting upright, ready to meet the siege battle. Tang Longzhang rushed out of the chaotic army and became a bloody man. Li Cunjin narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and pointed at the head of Heluo City, the white clothes were still ......

At this time, the main force of the defenders of Heluocheng had been assembled in front of the city gate, and when Li Cunjin's army was about to launch the second longitudinal offensive, the defenders of Heluocheng suddenly separated from each other and let the Zhou cavalry pass. Then, like the sea water separated by a clipper, they ran their horses from both sides in the opposite direction to the army led by Li Cunjin, and on the left and right sides of Li Cunjin's army, they were in the form of a flanking attack, and quickly exchanged arrows with Li Cunjin's army.

Li Cunjin's army has been practicing cavalry and archery in Liangzhou for a long time, and he has already achieved horseback archery. And the defenders of Heluo City fought against the water, and their riding and archery skills were not inferior. Just now, they were hit again and again by covering their heads, and now they finally fought with the enemy on horseback, and the defenders of Heluo City were also eager to vent their frustrated anger.

The two armies quickly staggered, and Li Cunjun's army was attacked by bows and arrows on the left and right, and he did not show weakness and raised his bow to fight back. As both armies were running towards the place where the other had come, they soon rushed into a cloud of yellow dust, and yes, the shooting was meaningless, and only the arrows were scattered all over the sky, tracking the defenders of Heluo City all the way.

At this time, Li Cun's army suffered a lot from the enemy on both sides. In order to reduce the losses, the soldiers no longer continued to entangle with the defenders of Heluo City, and galloped forward with their heads down, using the last leg strength of their horses to gallop straight into the reeds of the river fork.

Li Cun's cavalry gradually arrived at the river fork, and the cavalry who arrived first immediately came down to change horses and armor. Fortunately, another personal guard beside Li Cunjin earlier had already prepared and kept the horses and baggage in order, so that Li Cunjin could have the opportunity to fight again with the whole army.

Not long after, Li Cunjin also hurried over. Dismounted, and put on his armor with the assistance of the guard Han Changluo. While putting on the armor, he arranged for the soldiers to change horses as soon as possible. He demanded that not only the cavalrymen wear iron scarbs and armor, but also the changing horses should be clothed with bell armor and iron curtains to block arrows, and the necks of horses that are prone to arrows should be covered with cowhide coats, which were fixed with chain mail with thin iron rings. The bow and arrows are not much, enough to shoot three times, and melee weapons such as Chang Ji and Pu Dao are necessary.

When Li Cun marched to change horses and armor, the sporadic defenders of Heluo City once approached the river fork, and the number of riders ranged from dozens to more than 100. As the standby force guarding the Hecha, Li Cunjin's personal guards and the dismounted cavalry left behind both advanced in heavy armor, shooting arrows to drive the defenders of Heluo City away.

Subsequently, more River Los Angeles light cavalry appeared. Fortunately, the cavalry led by hundreds of horsemen led by Li Cunjin had already changed their horses and armor, and they approached the light cavalry of Heluocheng and drove them away. Heluo Cheng had no choice but to turn his horse back and shoot arrows while turning back. The cavalry led by Li Cunjin was burdened, and did not pursue, but only used arrows to shoot back, and many Heluocheng light cavalry fell from their horses with arrows, while the cavalry led by Li Cunjin had almost no losses due to the armor of men and horses.

Horses wounded by arrows or lost their owners ran sideways in front of the formation, temporarily disengaging the two sides.

After a while, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded again, like a spring thunder coming from far and near. The main force of Heluo City turned the formation to face Hecha, and saw that Li Cunjun had returned to Hecha, just like the prey ran into the pocket set by the prey, which gave Heluocheng the hope of winning the game.

They wanted to take advantage of the fact that Li Cun's army repeated the charge repeatedly and the men and horses were tired, rushed into the formation, drove Li Cunjun's army to the reeds of the two rivers to besiege and shoot him. With this in mind, the defenders of Heluo City sent out all the cavalry they could gather, and generals at all levels also came to the battle array. Approaching the intersection of the two rivers, the horizontal row could not be opened, and the cavalry of the defenders of Heluo City was in the shape of a trapezoid, small in front and large in the back, and fiercely pounced on the river fork.

The defenders of Heluo City were desperate, they were dressed in light leather clothing, and their horses were protected only by leather. The knight had two bows in his carry-on saddle, two or four quivers, and no less than two hundred arrows. Taking advantage of the time to ride their horses, the defenders of Heluo City freed up their hands to wind their arrows, and shot arrows full of arrows diagonally upward, and the arrows fell like rain, falling into the reeds with a rattling sound, and hitting the enemy's iron armor with a metal thumping sound.

After the rain of arrows was over, there was another rattle in the reeds, and it was Li Cunjun, who was originally lying in the reeds, who stood up. Li Cunjun was dressed in heavy armor and wore an iron shackle on his head, covering his face and neck with iron chains. Many of them had arrows from the defenders of Heluo City stuck in their armor, but they were not shot through and were injured.

Li Cunjun stood in the reeds and shot two or three arrows in a row, the arrows were flat and low, and most of them rushed to the horses of the defenders of Heluo City who rushed in front, and shot the horses of the defenders of Heluo City backwards and wounded a large area. The pain of the horses that were hit by the arrows was unbearable, and some stood up and overturned the knights on their backs, and some scurried sideways, causing the horses to crash into each other. More horses, uncontrolled by their riders, disrupted the forward formation of the defenders of Heluo City.

However, the defenders of Heluo City were determined to rush into the river fork and trample Li Cunjunjun under their feet. Although the front team flipped on their backs, the knights behind deftly steered their mounts, bypassing or jumping over obstacles in all directions, and continued to ride their horses. Although it was no longer in formation, there were still many strands of the defenders of Heluo City who quickly rushed into the reeds.

The defenders of Heluo City who entered the formation rode dozens of horses and a few horses, and entered the reeds to find the enemy. They have long harbored hatred and shoot arrows at the target of their activities. Li Cunjun did not line up, scattered around, leaned over to avoid the stray arrows everywhere, tried his best to protect his face from being shot, and then stabbed the horses of the approaching defenders of Heluo City with a long sword.

The defenders and horses of Heluo City were lightly armed, which was conducive to running horses to rush back and forth. The light cavalry confrontation with Li Cunjunjun just now did cause Li Cunjunjun to suffer great losses. But at this moment, I am in the reeds, there are riverbanks on the left and right, and the distance back and forth is not enough to perform, once I slow down, several long sticks stretch out from the left and right sides.

Countless horses should be killed. The knight fell to the ground, and suddenly Li Cunjun, who was wearing armor, came up all around, and the defenders of Heluo City, who only had bows and short knives around him, had nowhere to escape, and they all died tragically under the sword of Li Cunjunjun.

Those dismounted knights who Li Cun marched into the army all brought their followers to hunt and kill the fallen defenders of Heluo City in the reeds. Tang Longzhang, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, had already killed many people, and suddenly saw a white horse rushing towards him, and the person who came immediately was dressed in white, as if a white cloud was flying out.

The defenders of Nahe Luocheng suddenly threw arrows, and shot three arrows in a row between their hands, hitting the faces of the two people beside Tang Longzhang one after another. Tang Longzhang was furious, lowered the sand with one hand, and ran towards the white horse with a knife in the other......
