Chapter 250, Death Fight 3
Li Zicheng's men and horses are also very strong, they have spears and big knives in their hands, and they are fighting with the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and these peasant armies have red eyes, Cao Wenzhao has killed countless of their companions, family members, relatives, and now it is easy to surround Cao Wenzhao, how can they let it go, and fight to the death one by one. [No pop-ups. 】
But their equipment is really inferior to that of the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
The peasant army has no armor, and it is hot at this time, and it is also thin clothes to wear, so there is almost no protection. Some Guanning iron horsemen only use their legs to hold the horse, holding a fire gun in one hand and drawing a knife in the other.
This is the tactics that Guan Ning Iron Cavalry has been heavily trained, the three-eyed gun grows up, can be used as a gun and stick, and the saber is short, and can be killed in close combat. They also had good armor on them, so the losses were not great, not many were killed, at most they suffered minor injuries.
But the peasant army is different, the three-eyed fire gun is fighting, and it suddenly fires, and the deterrent effect is very great, as long as it hits, it will either die or be seriously injured. Coupled with the heavy body of the rod and the sharpness of the swords, the casualties of the peasant army began to increase.
The four lieutenant generals of the official army each led a thousand-man team, and after they were mixed into the peasant army, they immediately attacked in several directions, and the three-eyed fire gun opened the way in front, and those who were killed immediately were very domineering. Therefore, when the fight was not long, two thousand-man teams rushed out of the encirclement, then crossed over, and killed back.
The peasant army began to panic a little, they had seen this method of battle before, and knew that it was the favorite method of fighting of the cavalry of the official army. When the officers and troops came back from outside, the peasant army was attacked from the belly and had to divide their troops to resist, and the formation would inevitably be disrupted.
Li Zicheng was supervising the formation in the back, and he knew that if Guan Ning's iron cavalry entered and exited like this a few more times, his men and horses would be in danger of being cut off and divided. So he ordered a tiger Li Guo: "Take the infantry over, use spearmen and shield bearers to form an iron wall outside, and don't let the Guanning iron cavalry clash at will." ”
Li Guo understood, and immediately rushed over with 3,000 spearmen and 3,000 shield soldiers, half of these 6,000 people held iron shields, half held spears, and came to the outside of the battle array.
Several groups of people and horses rushed out of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but there were not many of them, and they did not dare to attack the shield array, so they had to run through the shield array and fight back into the battlefield again.
The cavalry liked the open land the most, and Li Guo's 6,000 infantry greatly reduced the open land, so the Guanning iron cavalry was greatly restricted from running. The impact is much less.
At this time, the Qin army never entered the battlefield.
Bai Qi watched that Guan Ning's iron cavalry did not pounce on him, but attacked the peasant army with more people, and secretly admired Cao Wenzhao's unique vision, presumably he could see that the Qin army was not a soft persimmon that was easy to pinch, and it was better to fight a familiar opponent than to fight an unfamiliar opponent. At least there will be no loss.
Li Dang and Li Yan were on their side, because they didn't have a white order, and they didn't dare to act at will. When they divided the troops, they said that it was okay, it all depended on Bai Qi's actions here, as long as his men and horses began to attack, then Li Kang could also lead his troops to attack.
But Bai Qi never made a move.
He didn't make a move, Cao Wenzhao took a thousand people and didn't move, this thousand Guan Ning iron cavalry lined up in formation, set up a soft shield, and held the three-eyed fire gun flat, ready to ignite at any time.
The reason why Bai Qi did not order the attack was that he knew that the iron rod in the opponent's hand was really powerful, and the person rushed to the front of him, as long as the fire behind the stick appeared, a white smoke would come out of the mouth of the stick, and then the person facing him would fall off his horse and die. Although he has not faced Cao Wenzhao, he has fought against Zu Kuan under the city of Xi'an, and Zu Kuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry also uses a three-eyed firearm, so he knows how powerful this thing is.
After that battle, Xi'an broke the siege, and Bai Qi once saw the people killed by the three-eyed firebolt and found the iron projectile inside, so he realized that the three-eyed firearm was actually a small cannon.
This thing is so domineering that there is nothing to stop it except the iron shield. So you can't rush to attack.
At this time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the peasant army fought extremely fiercely, the cry shook the sky, and the blood fertile the earth. Li Zicheng had already sent all the cavalry up, desperate, he knew very well that if Cao Wenzhao could not be eliminated in this battle, there would be no more chance.
Li Zicheng looked at the battlefield while staring at the Qin army in the distance, and he was very unhappy in his heart, because the Qin army had not made a move until now.
They want the snipe and the clam to compete with each other and the fisherman to profit. Wait until both sides are exhausted, and then rush up to settle the battle.
Li Zicheng was sneering, he also saw Cao Wenzhao leading a thousand cavalry, ready for battle, it is your hand that people defend, whether the Qin army fights at this time or after a while, the effect is the same.
Bai Qi didn't understand, besides, the Qin army and horses were far more than Cao Wenzhao's 1,000 iron cavalry, and it was only in order to reduce casualties that he did not attack immediately.
At this time, the melee between the two sides was in a hurry, and it was time for the Qin army to attack.
Bai Qi slowly raised his hand, but instead of pointing forward, he waved it twice in the air.
At this time, on both sides of the Qin army, more than a dozen horses rushed out and rushed towards Cao Wenzhao's 1,000 people. Cao Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, didn't he know what trick Qin Jun was going to do, and he would use more than a dozen people to challenge? It's not about sending you to death yet.
But Cao Wenzhao immediately understood, because he saw that on the tails of the war horses of the dozen or so Qin troops, there were many branches dragged, and these branches dragged across the ground, bringing up the dust of the old high, and flying in the air.
Cao Wenzhao immediately thought of Zhang Yide in the Three Kingdoms.
Zhang Fei was in front of the Changsaka Bridge, acting as Cao's soldiers, because there were few soldiers, only a few dozen horsemen, so he asked these people to cut down branches and tie them to the tail of the horse, and run back and forth in the woods.
When these horses ran, they brought up a large piece of dust, Cao Cao chased to the bridge, and saw that in the woods not far away, the dust was big, and he was suspicious, I don't know how many people and horses were ambushed, so he withdrew his troops.
Today, Bai Qi also used this plan, but the purpose was not to scare Cao Wenzhao away, but to cover the sight of Guan Ning's iron cavalry with dust, so that their three-eyed fire guns would lose their power.
You must know that the Three-Eyed Fire Gun cannot be fired in bursts, it can only be aimed at one target, and it can only be ignited when the target is about to rush closer. And the dozen or so Qin soldiers dragged the branches and kicked up dust, so that Guan Ning Tieqi could not see the target, and he didn't know when the people would rush over. When he saw it, the Qin army was already in front of him, and it was obviously too late to ignite it again.
Cao Wenzhao secretly scolded that the general of this army was very cunning.
He ordered his 1,000 cavalry to prepare for close combat.
More than a dozen Qin soldiers dragged the branches and ran back and forth a few feet away from Cao Wenzhao, and they didn't get close, because they knew that if they got closer, they would become the target of the three-eyed firecracker.
They ran back and forth a few times, and Cao Wenzhao's front was dusty, and there was no one on the other side.
More than 2,000 Qin troops brandished hammers, neighed their horses, and rushed up.
Li Dang saw that Bai Qi had moved, and he also took the lead and attacked the past. He had not a hammer in his hand, but an iron spear.
Five thousand Qin cavalry blew like a whirlwind, and Cao Wenzhao felt that the Qin army was about to rush, and roared and ignited. Those Guanning Iron Horsemen lit the fire rope of the three-eyed fire gun, and in the dust, there was a loud sound, and the projectile was shot.
But these firecrackers were not aimed, they were just hit indiscriminately, so the hit rate was too low, more than 100 shots were shot, and the Qin army only suffered more than 20 casualties, and these Qin troops were like demons rushing out of the fog, black clothes and black faces, crashing into the official army.
At this time, the three-eyed fire gun no longer worked, and the Guanning iron cavalry picked it up and used it as an iron rod to confront the Qin army's iron hammer, and the sound of impact was loud and shocking.
Bai Qi would not lead the troops to charge, not because he was the commander of the whole army and was afraid of accidents, but because he thought that he was too important and the hope for the rejuvenation of the Qin State, and it was really not worth dying in a small battle.
So it was Li Kang who took the lead in the charge. He left Li Yan behind, sent a hundred cavalry to protect him, and led people to rush up, directly stirring into Cao Wenzhao's array. He stared at Cao Wenzhao closely, knowing that it was the main general who stood under the banner, so he rushed straight towards the banner.
When several officers and soldiers in front of him saw that he was coming fiercely and running for the big flag, they knew that he was going to capture the flag.
On the ancient battlefield, the commander's banner was very important, and it could not be overthrown at any time, let alone robbed. The snatching of the flag means that the command is out of order, and the officers and men cannot find the commander in chief, and they do not know whether the commander is alive or dead, which has a great impact on morale. Therefore, in any battle, the protection of the marshal flag and the general flag is extremely tight.
As soon as Li Dang saw the four officers and soldiers rushing towards him, the iron rod in his hand was whirring with the wind, blocking the way, he shouted, raised the iron spear, and stabbed one person. The man crossed the three-eyed firearm with both hands and blocked it upward, but he underestimated Li Kang's strength too much, thinking that this block could seal the spear, Li Dang's arms were full of strength, and the official gun's firearm was upward, but it was only half blocked.
The iron spear went from piercing his lower abdomen to piercing the face.
At the moment when the fire gun blocked the iron spear, this officer knew that it was not good, and the spear was powerful and heavy, far beyond his expectations, but it was too late to dodge.
The tip of the iron spear, which was more than half a foot long, pierced directly into his mouth. More than half of his teeth were knocked off, and the tip of the spear came out of the back of his head.
An officer next to him was frightened by this shot, and before he could come back to his senses, Li Kang's iron spear swept over the head of the officer and soldier, and was pumping it to his temple.
The iron helmet touched the iron helmet, coupled with Li Kang's divine power, the officer was immediately smashed to the point that his skull was broken and he fell to his horse.
With only one face, Li Dare killed two people in a row, but in the blink of an eye.
The other two officers and soldiers were red-eyed and wanted to step forward to attack, but they were blocked by the people around Li Kang, and Li Dang had already rushed over and rushed straight to the flag.
