Song Jingang took a deep breath at this time, he stood on a boulder at the top of the mountain, his resolute face exuding enthusiasm and bravery.

He exclaimed, "Brothers, we are now close to the place of attack. Your Majesty is waiting for us to meet us in front of us! Now we can only move forward, not backward! Even if there is a sea of swords and fires and cliffs in front of us, we have to fight through it! We are all warriors of the Zhou army, and even if we die, we have to die towards the goal ahead. Please follow me and let's roll down the hill together! ”

With that, Song Jingang took a blanket from the marching package, wrapped his body tightly, and then climbed up the slightly slower hillside to the east, and then rolled like a ball......

Seeing that Song Jingang, the main general, was fighting to the death, the other Zhou soldiers were all infected.

They also followed Song Jingang's example, some wrapped in blankets, others wrapped in sheets and cloths. Others were wrapped in a tent cloth. The soldiers of the Zhou army wrapped their bodies tightly, then closed their eyes, turned their hearts sideways, and rolled down.

"Bone Dut! Bone Dut! "There was a sound of weeds and bushes overwhelming people's bodies on the hillside.

The five thousand Zhou soldiers all rolled to the bottom of the cliff with Song Jingang, and they began to struggle to get up. But many of them had wounds on their bodies, drenched in blood.

After Song Jingang got up, he hurriedly ordered a gathering to check how many soldiers were left to fight.

After counting a little, he was relieved. Because no one has passed by this hillside for a long time, for thousands of years, a lot of dead branches and leaves have been accumulated, covering the originally sharp gravel in the hillside, and most of the 5,000 Zhou soldiers have survived, but there are still some soldiers with poor martial arts who fell to their deaths.

However, there were not many unlucky people in this part, and there were only about two dead soldiers in total, plus four or five soldiers who broke their arms and legs and could no longer fight, and the whole unit was reduced by about eight people.

The wounded eight soldiers were curled up on the ground, moaning in pain.

"General Song, you lead everyone to the battlefield first, and it is important to join Your Majesty and defeat the Tang Army together. Leave us alone! The wounded soldiers also showed painful expressions, but gritted their teeth and said.

Song Jingang was also moved. He wiped the tears from his eyes, and Fang led the uninjured soldiers to hastily bury the bodies of the dead subordinates.

Then, he left some female medical soldiers to take care of the wounded, and gathered more than 4,000 horses and horses that were not injured, and advanced to the rear of the Tang army as quickly as possible.

Immediately, Song Jingang released the carrier pigeon used for communication, reported to Yu Mingyu that his troops had arrived at the predetermined place smoothly as agreed, and could attack the Tang army from behind at the specified time as originally planned.

At the same time, Li Jiancheng was a little worried, and it was difficult for the Tang army to make a breakthrough under the tight defense of the Zhou army. However, Zhou Jun has been unable to shrink back, making him a little helpless.

Just when he was thinking in his heart, whether to follow Liu Jing's advice, leave part of the army to confront the Zhou army, and go to attack Wei Chi Jingde first, the guards at the gate came to report, saying that Yuming had sent a messenger, saying that he wanted to ask him to conduct a frontal battle in the open field in the center of the camp of the two armies in the future.

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he was overjoyed, and he immediately said to the messenger: "Okay! You go back and tell Yuming! I, Li Jiancheng, are waiting to fight him head-on! I've taken this appointment! ”

……

A day later, it was a good day in autumn, and more than 10,000 Zhou troops walked out of the camp under the order of Yuming, crossed the creek, and arrived at the battle site.

Opposite them were 50,000 Tang troops, and the enemy was also well-armoured and well-armoured, apparently well prepared and with high morale.

Looking at the black phalanx of the Zhou army, there was a young handsome general riding a white horse and wearing white clothes and white armor. Li Jiancheng's eyes also showed a look of excitement.

He knew that this person was the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and Li Tang's biggest enemy, Yu Ming. If he can be defeated in this battle, the Zhou army will collapse without a fight. He was also able to successfully occupy the whole of Hebei and win the most crucial battle in the war of Li and Tang to unify the world.

"Rush! Fight for Datang! Li Jiancheng's lieutenant Hou Junji pulled out the saber at his waist, then shouted, and rushed towards the phalanx of the Zhou army.

Seeing that the commander had rushed forward, the cavalry of the Tang Army immediately roared wildly and rushed away like a tide.

Standing in front of the cavalry of the Tang Army was the heavy infantry phalanx of the Zhou army. However, these heavy infantry are not ordinary infantry, but the Modao Army. Their total number is 10,000. With two people in a row, a total of fifty rows were arranged, standing neatly and neatly.

When they saw the Tang cavalry roaring and rushing over, they did not panic at all. Yu Ming smiled slightly, raised the Liquan treasure spear in his hand and said: "Listen to the people in the back forty rows, put down the Mo knife and pick up the bow and arrow!" ”

The eight thousand Mo sword soldiers immediately put down the long Mo knife in their hands with a uniform movement, and then untied the longbow from their backs and mounted a special wolf tooth arrow.

At this time, the cavalry of the Tang army had already rushed to a distance of forty zhang, which was within the longbow shooting distance of the improved Zhou army.

"Shoot the arrows!" Yu Ming waved the Liquan Treasure Spear down and shouted.

Listening to the sound of "buzz", 8,000 wolf's tooth arrows flew into the air like dark clouds, and then crossed an arc in the sky, pouring down towards the Tang cavalry who were rushing in a hurry.

"Hey, how can Zhou Jun's bow and arrow shoot so far?" Seeing this, Li Jiancheng was also slightly surprised. However, he did not panic, because according to convention, a bow and arrow that can shoot such a long distance is poor in terms of accuracy and penetration. And although his cavalry is not like Li Shimin's Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers, all men and horses are wearing iron armor. But compared to ordinary cavalry, the protection is also much stronger. Arrows from such a distance could not penetrate the armor they were wearing.

However, what happened next left him dumbfounded. Because these dense, raindrop-like arrows actually pierced the armor of the Tang cavalry, and the arrows penetrated into the flesh. The cavalry of the Tang Army, who were galloping, let out a series of terrible screams, and then turned over and fell off their horses one by one.

A cavalryman marching at high speed, once an arrow falls from his horse, it means death. As soon as they fell to the ground, they were trampled into pulp by the hooves of their comrades who followed closely behind.

"How could Zhou Jun's bow and arrows be so powerful?" When Li Jiancheng saw this, he couldn't help but shudder.

It's just that there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and now the Tang cavalry is already in the sprint stage, and they can't stop if they want to, and Hou Junji, the general of the Tang Army who personally led the cavalry charge, can only order his subordinates to continue to rush forward.

"Get on the arrow! Start the second round of shooting! Yuming continued to order.

Soon, 8,000 wolf's tooth arrows rained down again, and the advancing Tang cavalry was shot like hedgehogs, and they fell to the ground and died. The ground was littered with the corpses of cavalry and war horses of the Don Army. Many of the wounded horses were still neighing in mourning, and their screams also shook the heartstrings of the Tang cavalry. They had a little fear of the outcome of this battle.

After rounds of shooting, the Tang army paid a heavy price for two horses being shot dead and wounded. But they finally rushed in front of Zhou Jun's Mo Dao Army.

In the sight of the cavalry of the Don Army, it was already possible to see the face of the enemy clearly.

They found that the enemy did not place spear and shield men in the front row of the phalanx to resist the cavalry, but ten rows of eccentric infantry armed with broadswords.

"! Let you shoot the **** of arrows. Now it's our turn to do the trick! Hou Junji thought secretly in his heart. Although he had some doubts in his heart about these Zhou infantry armed with long-handled broadswords, he did not take this matter to heart, but continued to order the troops to charge.

"Peng!"

With a loud bang, the cavalry of the Tang Army and the Mo Dao Army of the Zhou Army finally collided solidly.

"Kill!"

A Tang cavalryman shouted, and he swung his saber and slashed at a Zhou soldier in front of him.

"Poof!"

It's just that before he could reach this Zhou Junmo sword soldier, he saw a flash of white light, a flower in front of his eyes, and then he felt that he was flying into the air, and then it was dark in front of him, and he didn't know anything.

It turned out that at the same time as he swung the knife, this Mo knife soldier of the Zhou army also slashed at his neck. Due to the long hilt, heavy blade, and exquisite knife skills, it was natural to easily cut off his head, making him a headless corpse on the battlefield.

At the same time, another Tang cavalryman also raised his spear and stabbed at the Zhou infantry in front of him.

But the result was almost the same, the infantry of the Zhou army slammed the Mo knife in their hands, and cut it into two pieces, and there was no longer any life.

"Poof, poof, poof."

I only heard the sound of strange knives entering the flesh on the battlefield. Although the cavalry of the Tang Army rushed to the Mo Dao Army of the Zhou Army, they were in a painful situation of being passively beaten.

The spears and sabers of the Tang army were really short compared to the two-zhang long Mo swords. They can't reach the Zhou soldiers, but the Mo knives of the Zhou soldiers can reach them.

And Zhou Jun's Mo knives are made of good black steel, although they are not as good as the original imported Damascus black steel knives, but they are not comparable to ordinary steel knives. The weapons of the Tang army and the Zhou army were handed over, and it was often the blades of the Tang army that were knocked open and cut off.

Although the weapons of the Tang soldiers could also be summoned to the Zhou soldiers in the melee, they were wearing heavy armor that only heavy infantry was equipped with, which could effectively reduce the damage of the enemy's weapons. Ordinary knives and guns could not pierce their armor at all.

Of course, the Mo Dao Army of the Zhou Army is equipped with such heavy armor and a two-zhang long Mo Dao, which requires a high physical fitness of the soldiers, and they must be strong and big, and after some training and assessment, they can enter the Mo Dao Army.

This is also the reason why Yuming has been raising troops from Liaodong for eight years, and until now he has only cultivated 10,000 elite Modao troops.

And this time, in order to rescue Hebei, he spent a lot of money and sent all the Modao troops out.
