Chapter 976: Before the Mo Knife, everyone was shattered
A thin layer of snow fell at night, and the mountains in the distance and the outlines of the cities in the near distance were dyed with a faint layer of white. The battlefield that was full of corpses yesterday is not so hideous because of the arrival of this layer of thin snow. The blood was masked, and the dead were covered with this layer of snow, and it seemed that they were much calmer, and there was no longer so obvious anger. The flames had long since been extinguished, but the green smoke still rose above the ruins.
The two armies were separated by a distance of about two miles, and slowly unfolded.
There's nothing left to hide, nothing to dodge. All the cards were spread out on the table.
Last night, new news came that Jianchang had also fallen into the hands of the Tang army, and more than 8,000 cavalry led by Yeluyuan and Liu Yan raided Jianchang and captured this place in one fell swoop, completely cutting off the retreat of the Liao army.
In the direction of Chengde, the 5,000 Liao cavalry led by Fei Yu had already fought with the Tang army coming from the direction of the desert.
The Liao army has been confined to this small area, and there is no room to dodge and move, and there is no other way except to fight to the death.
10,000 cavalry, this is Zhang Zhongwu's last capital to press the bottom of the box.
Today, he will personally lead these 10,000 cavalry to launch the most fierce assault and fight a bloody way for his Liaodi son.
Standing in front of the formation, looking at the slowly unfolding formation of the Tang army on the opposite side, Zhang Zhongwu's mouth was slightly bitter.
I see!
No wonder Han Qi and Xue Chong are so calm.
It's actually Mo Daowei.
Five thousand Mo sword guards!
Zhang Zhongwu was first angry, then stunned, and finally laughed out loud.
When Datang was at its peak, it only raised 5,000 Mo sword guards, and now Li Ze only occupies half of the country, so he actually organized 5,000 Mo sword guards, and he had to obey!
I have to take it!
He was angry because he seemed to have seen the life-and-death struggle on the banks of the Yishui River again. It can be said that that was the starting point of Li Ze's official rise and his Zhang Zhongwu's weakness. And in that battle, Li Ze's side was the mainstay of Mo Daowei. And at that time, he only had a thousand Mo sword guards.
In just a few years, he completed a battlefield killing weapon that was formed with the financial resources of a country in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
He was stunned because he couldn't imagine how Li Ze did these things. In Liaodi, he tried his best to restore his Liao army to the heyday of Lulong, and in order to do so, he forced Goryeo to rebel. made Goryeo finally defect.
He laughed because he was suddenly a little proud again. Li Ze still thinks highly of him. Li Ze marched south and raised tens of thousands of troops to launch an all-round attack on the Liang army, but he quietly sent the most powerful troops to him, he looked down on the Liang army! thinks that to destroy the beam, you don't need to use Mo Daowei at all, but to deal with yourself, you must need Mo Daowei!
In a trance, he seemed to be back on the banks of the Yishui River. Back to the decisive battle that determined the honor and disgrace of his life.
Do you go back in time?
Let me do it all over again!
He raised the horse lance in his hand high, pointed firmly forward, and roared: "Assault! ”
The shouts suddenly sounded, and the war horse passed by him like a torrent, charging forward, towards the sea of steel of the Tang Army.
Tens of thousands of cavalry launched an assault at the same time, and the momentum was enough to change the color of the heavens and the earth.
Behind them, Deng Jingshan looked at Zhang Zhongwu, who was moving forward with the cavalry, and also firmly raised the banner in his hand and took the first step forward.
The 20,000 foot soldiers were divided into more than a dozen dense phalanxes, slowly but surely pressing forward.
In this battle, there is no advance or retreat.
Whether it's cavalry or foot soldiers.
The two highest commanders of the Liao army personally participated in the charge, which was a move that had not been done for many years!
And this move is not to tell all the Liao soldiers.
This battle is either life or death.
Cai Xu pursed his lips tightly and stared at the rushing Liao cavalry. In the battle on the banks of the Yishui River, he was not a serious Mo Dao Guard, in that battle, a thousand Mo Dao Guards lost half of Tai, and he was only added after that battle. Over the years, the Mo Dao Guard has continued to expand, and he has grown from a small soldier to a Zhenwu lieutenant step by step, with a hundred Mo Dao guards under his command.
The sergeants of the Mo Dao Guard, whether it is the salary or the rank, are several levels higher than the ordinary army.
Back then, he was extremely nervous, he was yelled at by the captain for not wielding a knife in time, and he was kicked in the ass because he was slow to walk because of timidity, but now, none of this will happen to him again.
He often yells at the rookies and kicks them in the ass.
Cai Xu's heart was full of the belief that he would win.
The current Mo Dao Guard, compared to the original Mo Dao Guard, can be said to be two completely different concepts.
Look at the companion next to you, that one is not an eight-foot-tall man. I wanted to join when I first joined, it was precisely because of this body, but at that time, I had an empty skeleton and not much meat, and I entered the Mo Dao Guard, four meals a day, and I had enough fish and meat, and the white flour bun was enough, and I fed myself strong in a year.
It's strong, not fat.
Because these things are not eaten for free, cruel training makes fat and fat have no chance to grow.
And in the past few years, the newly recruited guys, as soon as they enter the team, the key meat of that body is enough to sparkle people's eyes.
Good physical fitness makes Cai Xu envious.
After all, he still hasn't made up for the deficit of his own youth, otherwise, he will definitely be able to grow a foot taller. In the eyes of others, Cai Xu is a big man in Tibet, but in Mo Daowei, his size can only be regarded as average.
In addition to physical fitness, weapons and equipment have been constantly updated over the years. The Mo knife used in his hand is already the third generation. Now the guy in their hands is really worthy of sharpening iron like clay.
The early Mo Dao, although sharp, but lacked flexibility, was easy to break in war, collapsed, once the weapon was lost, the Mo Dao Guard was equivalent to breaking the wings of flight.
And now the Mo knife has improved these shortcomings, I heard General Li say, what kind of alloy technology is used in their Mo knife now. Cai Xu didn't understand this, he only knew that the guy was much easier to use than in the past.
The knife is sharper, but the armor is lighter. Lightness does not mean poor quality, on the contrary, the armor on the body now has much better protection than in the past. Feather arrows can leave a white dot on it at most, and even if they shoot at close range with their arms and crossbows open, they can only barely break through the armor, and it is quite difficult to shoot into the flesh. The entire armor is almost a single unit, which is said to be effective in dispersing the shock after being hit by a heavy object, and more effectively protecting the soldiers in the armor.
Of course, it's much more difficult to put on and take off armor now.
Don't fall down, otherwise it's almost impossible to get up on your own.
As for the difficulty in putting it on and taking it off, is that a thing?
If you win, you can get rid of it.
If you lose, you can take it off no matter what!
The difference is that if you win, your own people help you take it off carefully. If you lose, it is the enemy who unceremoniously and rudely picks up.
Overhead, there was the whistling of trebuchets, followed by the screeching of a crossbow, and then a muffled buzz behind him.
He looked up, and then he realized that he couldn't see the sky.
The first to fly were stone bullets, some of which were stained with rough fire oil, which turned them into a fireball. The thick shaft of the crossbow is tied to the ceramic jars with shiny tails, this thing is a little scary, the fuse burns out, and it is a violent explosion.
And behind all of this, followed by crossbow bolts that obscured the sky.
"If I can crush the enemy with money, I choose to use money instead of soldiers' lives!" These are the words of their supreme leader, Li Xiang Li Ze, who has spared no effort to implement this concept over the years.
Such a leader is worthy of our dedication to him without regrets!
Even if it is dead, the mourning after death and the benefits received by the family are worth it!
There was a loud sound of military trumpets behind him, and Cai Xu retracted his thoughts and roared loudly almost without thinking.
"Raise your sword!"
There was a loud sound, and in front of his eyes, only a bright blade remained.
"One step forward!"
"Two!"
When Cai Xu shouted one, two didn't need him to shout anymore, because all the Mo Dao guards shouted the word two at the same time.
Everyone shouts a number and takes a step.
The dense cavalry charge formation was attacked a little messily by the long-range attacks of the Tang army, and countless people planted their horses, causing a large number of blanks to appear in the front. But the rest still roared forward, and even many of the horses that had lost their owners were still wrapped up in the brigade and galloped forward.
"Fall!" Cai Xu roared.
In front of him, the snowy blade flashed at the same time, and slashed down.
Horses are broken, people are broken.
At the same time, he also saw that some of his companions were knocked into the air, and some were stuck on the ground and could not get up again.
"Up!"
Without looking at anything else that had nothing to do with slashing people, Cai Xu strode to fill a gap in front of him, and at the same time raised the knife in his hand.
"Fall!"
Five thousand Mo knives, like a snow-bright knife array, rolled forward in the deafening sound of rising and falling.
The frantically advancing cavalry team instantly deflated from the middle.
Mo knife forward, everyone is broken!
As the Modao under Li Han advanced, on the left and right flanks, the Tang cavalry also began to charge.
On top of the city, Han Qi stood on top, waving the order flag in his hand, and commanded all the troops to join the battle group.
Without any temptation, this is a fierce battle between the tip of the needle and the wheat mang.
