Chapter 42: Throwing stones
In the distance, he saw his cavalry being killed by the infantry in two rows in a row, and cold sweat oozed from Bu Guiyuan's back, even though the sun was a little warm, his whole body was still immersed in cold water.
Such an infantry battle, with such a high combat power, was absolutely unimaginable to him.
Li Shimin noticed that the opponent's cavalry no longer charged, and waved the command flag in his hand, and the cavalry, who was anxious for the shame of the day before the blood, after the infantry gave way to the formation, under the leadership of Xia Yu, charged the enemy's cavalry like a tiger descending the mountain.
Closer, closer!
When it came to the best charging distance of 100 steps, Xia Yu took the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and shouted: "Step back to the Yuan, take your life!" ”
Bu Guiyuan suddenly heard a loud shout like rolling thunder on the ground, and he was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the weapon in his hand steadily, and rolled off the war horse.
Anyone can see that Xia Yu is the commander of the cavalry.
At that moment, three war horses rushed out of the ranks of the Sui soldiers and surrounded Xia Yu.
They raised the spears in their hands and slaughtered Xia Yu.
Horse battles begin!
Xia Yu had already ordered the cavalry not to advance into the archers' firing range, and they were now on the plain, and the two armies were fighting in front of the formation.
The sound of shouting and killing soared into the sky!
The sound of weapons handover comes and goes!
The entire battlefield was thrown into chaos.
The cavalry of the step back to the Yuan, relying on the mount to be strong, thought that it had a natural advantage, was born at this time, chasing the wind and the sound of yellow neighing, the war horse of the step back to the Yuan side trembled on all fours, and a cavalry who was fighting was taken by the war horse to a deviation, and was picked up by the Li cavalry in the center and fell to the ground.
Originally, he may have had a chance to live, but under the trampling of the horse's hooves, he was trampled on his bones and his bones were broken, and blood rained down.
Bu Guiyuan heard the neighing of chasing the wind, and then saw the performance of the war horse, his spirit was lifted, and he shouted to the three cavalry captains: "I want the war horse under that person's seat, you must not hurt the war horse under his seat!" ”
In the midst of the chaos, the three cavalry captains agreed.
The three of them will engage Xia Yu in a marquee.
As the regular army of the Sui Dynasty, the three cavalry captains were obviously extraordinary, although they could not be compared with the peerless fierce generals such as Li Yuanba, but they were also quite good.
Whether it is the strength or speed of the gun, or the tacit cooperation between the three of them, it shows that the three of them are extraordinary.
Xia Yu's martial arts came from a mobile phone reader, weak but weak because of his lack of experience in facing the enemy, and for a while, he couldn't fight his way out, but the three of them didn't have anything to do with him.
When he was catching and fighting, Xia Yu's mind was racing, and he used his halberd blade to open the spear of a cavalry captain, pretending to be defeated.
The three cavalry captains didn't know what to do, and chased after them.
First, a cavalry captain exposed the green tendons around his neck, and shouted fiercely: "Thief, where to go?!" ”
Xia Yu stood up on Chasing Fenghuang's back and jumped high, no one could have imagined that he would actually use the Lin family's marksmanship on horseback.
In the midst of his busy schedule, the knight was stunned, and quickly used a fire to the sky, trying to hold up Xia Yu's halberd.
First, Xia Yu is a condescending attack and has an advantage; Second, Xia Yu himself was physically stronger than ordinary people after taking the Powerful Pill; Sanlai Xia Yu's mount Chasing the Wind Huang is a one-of-a-kind divine horse, and he has no worries at all.
Under the above three favorable conditions, Xia Yu can be said to be a hard blow, and the weight of his whole body is concentrated on the halberd blade.
Hearing a click, the cavalry captain's gun was struck by the halberd blade and broken in two, and the halberd blade did not stop because of this, and slashed at the opponent's left shoulder like a bamboo, cutting off most of the shoulder.
The other two cavalry captains couldn't help, so they abandoned their companions and killed Xia Yu on the left and right.
In the light of the lightning and the light of the stone, Xia Yu took back Fang Tian's painting halberd, lay flat on the horse's back, and sent his right arm to the right.
Fang Tian's halberd stabbed forward like lightning like a flying rainbow, not giving the enemy the slightest chance to react.
The cavalry captain on the right saw Xia Yu lying flat to avoid the attack of the two, and was stunned, only to hear a muffled sound, and the tip of the halberd penetrated his chest and leaked out of his back.
The ends of the crescent-shaped halberd blade were also stuck in his flanks, and the pain was unusual.
He was also ruthless, thinking that he would die, he took out a long sword from his waist and threw it at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu's waist twisted, narrowly and dangerously avoided the cavalry captain's long sword, and picked up the body of the cavalry captain on the right side and slashed it to the left.
The body of the dead cavalry captain was slammed towards the cavalry captain on the left.
The cavalry captain on the left saw the corpse of his companion flying towards him, and he didn't pick it up, and he didn't pick it up.
Finally, when he stretched out a hand from the horse to catch it, the tip of Xia Yu's halberd had already pierced it, and it passed through his chest.
Three cavalry captains died.
Killing three cavalry captains one after another made the morale of the Li family's cavalry greatly increase and they rushed to kill.
Those Sui Dynasty cavalry kept retreating backwards, all of them frightened.
For Xia Yu, this is just an extremely ordinary thing, not worth showing off, there is not the slightest smug look on his face, he rushed forward with a fierce voice, and the goal was to return to the yuan.
Bu Guiyuan is a good horse general, but the kung fu is mediocre, seeing such a momentum, he was scared to beat the horse and gallop forward.
Xia Yu didn't chase after him, and let him return to the Sui army's camp.
The cavalry charged for a while and won a great victory.
In order to expand the results of the battle, Li Shimin had already ordered the cavalry to retreat and follow the swords and soldiers to raise their shields and press forward.
When the Sui army saw the defeat of their most superior cavalry, their own morale was greatly damaged.
Bu Guiyuan returned to the rear of the army and slapped the captain of the archer who was confused, and the other party woke up like a dream and waved the command flag to shoot.
A rain of arrows scatters like locusts in mid-air, limiting the speed of the swordsmen's attacks.
The spearmen in the front row fought with the swordsmen under the cover of the archers.
Afraid of hurting his own people, the archers shot three rounds, and when they saw the two sides fighting together, they no longer shot arrows.
It is undeniable that the spearmen's hands are longer than the swordsmen's, but they have shields to protect them, and the spearmen can only fight and retreat.
The battle line continued to compress in the direction of Wuwei City.
Zhang Xingran supervised the battle at the head of the city, and when he saw the Sui army retreating, he couldn't help but feel very anxious.
Above the city, seventy trebuchets were neatly placed. Next to each trebuchet is a large pile of stones.
At this time, without caring about anything else, Zhang Xingran openly ordered: "Throwing stones!" ”
The face of the general in charge of the trebuchet changed suddenly: "General Zhang, do we really have to throw stones?" There are a lot of our sergeants fighting below! ”
Zhang Xingran snatched the general's order flag and slashed hard: "Throw stones!" ”
Basketball-sized stones fell from the city in a roar, and the screams of the sergeants rang out one after another.
No one expected Zhang Xingran to make such a decision, and used a fighting method tantamount to self-harm to force Li Shimin's troops to retreat.
