Chapter 712: Dragon Slaying (81)

Outside the Jiangdu city, the drums of war rumbled. The drumbeat like popping beans shook people's hearts, and the soldiers with crossbows in their hands gritted their teeth and stared at the overwhelming group of people and horses in front of them, and their eyes were almost oozing blood. This team is all Jianghuai Xiaoguo, and its leader is the prince of Rongguo in the current dynasty, and he is also the head of the generals born in the south of the Yangtze River. And on the opposite side of them, holding torches and rolling to the ground, it was the Northland Xiaoguo Army based on Guanzhong Xiaoguo.

The Guanzhong Wuxun family secretly manipulated, Sima Dekan, Feng Deyi and others ran around to design, and finally let tens of thousands of Beidi Xiaoguo all raise the anti-flag and become rebellious ministers and thieves. It is not easy to deploy tens of thousands of troops, and it is impossible to put them all into battle. Standing opposite Jianghuai Xiaoguo is the vanguard of the rebellious army. The rebels were not afraid to see the bows and crossbows raised by the subordinates of Laihu'er, and the foot soldiers in the front row raised their shields and stepped up towards Jianghuai

The formation of soldiers and horses rushed forward, and the sound of shouting and shouting continued. The soldiers behind them also shouted and followed the front team to charge. The archers raise their bows and point diagonally at the sky, ready to shoot clusters of arrows.

The two sides did not say anything or negotiate, and they knew from the moment they met each other that they would have to separate life and death tonight, and only one of the people in the north and south could continue to stay in the world.

"Kill!" With a killing order, the sound of the bow string loosening was incessant, like a cracked silk, and the arrows as dense as flying locusts pierced the night sky. Both armies were lit with torches, and as the bowstrings sounded, the flames swayed, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was incessant. Gangnam

In this round of arrow rain, the heroes of Haojie Northland have paid countless flesh and blood and even their lives.

The bows and crossbows used by both sides are from the hands of the good craftsmen in the prison, and they are the best in the world. The original purpose of the creation was to defeat the enemy, and I didn't want to use it today to produce robes. Jianghuai has more crossbowmen, and most of Jianghuai Xiaoguo serves as crossbowmen in the army, with strong bows and crossbows in their hands, even if they can't be compared with Wanjun crossbows, they are enough to penetrate armor and wear robes. And he is well-trained on weekdays, and his crossbow is as dense as a flying locust, even if it is not as fast as a bow and arrow, it is enough to rely on a few rounds of crossbows to make the enemy soldiers dare not advance. Laihu'er used the troops in a good way, and the front of the military formation was full of first-class archers in the army, holding strong crossbows and waiting, naturally hoping to rely on the power of bows and crossbows to curb the charge of the chaotic army and frustrate

Its sharpness. With the power of these crossbows, neither the armor on the rebels nor the iron shields in their hands are enough to cover their bodies and save their lives. Jianghuai crossbowmen are accustomed to winning with bows and crossbows, and it is said that they will never lose to these rebels by shooting with bows and crossbows. However, this round of crossbow shooting did not stop the chaotic army from rushing forward as Laihu'er expected. Although many of the rebels fell to the ground with arrows, they were then filled by the rear army, and the military formation was still intact. The casualties of the Jianghuai crossbowmen were not less than those of the other party,

There were also many gaps in the crossbow array. Not only that, but the ring shooting that the Jianghuai crossbowmen relied on to boast in the past failed to exert its power tonight, and the power of the second round of crossbow arrows was far less than that of the first round, and the sparse and accurate head of the arrow rain was even more lacking, and the third round of crossbow arrows was not allowed to be fired, and the forward of the chaotic army was already approaching the south

Army Array.

"Let me show you Grandpa's methods!"

Suddenly, an angry roar rang like a bell. With a roar, a short spear shot through the air, swept past the body of the crossbowman in front of him, and cut an arc through the air, straight into the head of a chaotic general. The tip of the short spear made of fine iron could have pierced through the armor, and the person who threw the spear was born with divine power, and with the blessing of his amazing strength, the power of this short spear was not inferior to that of the short arrows fired by the crossbow. Before the general could scream, he did

He has lost his life. With this short spear, the spear thrower, who was hidden behind the crossbow array, stood up and threw the short spear in his hand at the same time. These spear throwers were all outstanding warriors in the army, and all of them had extraordinary strength. On weekdays, in addition to practicing spear throwing, it is to practice strength. Regardless of whether there was enough food and grass in the army, they had enough to eat, and they had enough meat to eat before the battle. Rao is like this, these spear throwers only carry five short spears per person, not because of how rare these short spears are, but because

Their strength can throw up to five spears in a single fight, and then they have no more strength. This shows how much force they need to use each time they throw their spears, and how powerful these short spears are. Rao is Guanzhong Xiaoguo has long known the skills of the spear throwers in the Jianghuai army, but there is still no good way to prevent it. Upon hearing the roar, the charging soldiers simply raised their iron shields and shouted, "Kill! "Step on

Rushing forward, the short spear in his hand slammed forward! They knew that most of their people would die. If you can fight an opponent before you die, your life will not be wasted. If you can open a way for the robe behind you, you will be even more satisfied. All the soldiers who are in the vanguard tonight

have left their names and surnames, and in the future, the nobles will lead the robe to kill back to Guanzhong to regain the foundation, and they will be rewarded according to their names and surnames, and if they die, their families can have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime. These nobles are all wealthy families, and they will not deceive themselves as poor soldiers, and they will not be deceived by their own masters...... With such thoughts in mind, these soldiers who opened the way were extremely brave. Whether it's shot with a crossbow or nailed to death with a short spear

On the ground, there was no hesitation, just desperately stabbing out spears or ramming their bodies into the opponents in front of them, hoping to shake the military formation with their lives.

In the first round of charge, the soldiers and horses in the front row of the chaotic army were almost killed and wounded, but there was no room for respite, and the second row had already rushed up. Lai Hu'er, who was standing in the Chinese army, saw everything clearly, his brows were tightly locked, and his heart was cold.

As a veteran who has led soldiers for many years, Lai Hu'er is proficient in the art of war, and he can see the changes in the battle formation even more clearly. Although in this round of confrontation, Jianghuai Xiaoguo took a little advantage from the scene, but Laihu'er's heart was bright, and he had already lost this battle. These spear-throwers were supposed to be their last resort, but they were exposed as soon as they engaged, and there were no other tricks to use later. Those spearmen could only throw five spears for a while, and then they would lose their strength and no longer be able to fight. Even if you force yourself into battle, it's not much

Less combat power is nothing but giving away one's life in vain. On the other side, there are mountains of rebel soldiers, and he only has this little bit of people in his hands. Without these killing moves, what would he rely on to resist the rebels, and what would he rely on to fulfill the emperor's order?

It shouldn't be! It shouldn't have been! Laihu'er only felt that his throat was salty for a while, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out. With his own skills and these Jianghuai heroes, he should have slaughtered the rebellious army. It's just that the constraints of the Son of Heaven and the hesitation of the princes in Jiangdu City finally made the situation become

This is what it looks like right now. This war is not a crime of war, it is really the death of the Great Sui. Could it be that the Sui family is really going to be destroyed tonight, and what should happen to their father and son

Thinking of this, Lai Hu'er only felt that his eyes were black, and his body swayed from side to side on the horse twice before he barely regained his composure. He whispered to himself: "Saint, minister...... I did my best. ”

After the father and son of Laihu'er got Yang Guang's secret order, they brought all the Jianghuai Xiaoguo into their command to prevent Guanzhong Xiaoguo and try their best to prevent things from evolving to the point of no return. In terms of numbers, the number of Jianghuai Xiaoguo is far less than that of Beidi Xiaoguo, and the experience of the battle array is also seriously insufficient. Although he has attacked and killed many bandits with Laihu'er, compared with those battle-hardened Northland Xiaoguo, he owes a little bit of fire after all. In the past, there have also been conflicts between the north and the south, but they have not scratched each other's face, and Yang Guang deliberately protected them, so as to form a situation in which the north and south armies are not superior. In terms of real skills, if it is a water battle between boats and ships, the southern army will naturally be far superior to the northern army, but it is a field battle

Kill, the southern army is not the opponent of the northern army. However, if Yang Guangken lets go of his authority, Laihu'er will also have full confidence in eliminating these Guanzhong Xiaoguo. After all, the battle formation is not a simple competition of bravery, but also depends on each other's strategy and even the means of using troops. Lai Hu'er is accustomed to using soldiers, and Guanzhong Xiaoguo has always been

Laziness, and rebellion, even more so, can not keep secrets. As long as Laihu'er preemptively kills the main general of the northern army with a team of elite cavalry, or besieges the eastern city of Jiangdu with the southern army, he is sure that the rebellious army will collapse without a fight. But these mental plans are just a mirror in the end, without the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, Lai Hu'er cannot mobilize his subordinates to attack and kill the Northern Army, so he can only sit back and watch the opponent rectify the three armies, so that the situation becomes what it is now. This is not to blame for protecting the child, if you want to blame, you can only blame

Yang Guang was too cautious and too strict with his subordinates. Although Yang Guang's secret order was to come to Hu'er to monitor the Northern Army, it was only surveillance, and he did not give Lai'er the right to decide to kill on the spot, and he did not even explain the purpose of surveillance, which was naturally caused by Yang Guang's suspiciousness. Lai Hu'er was originally the leader of the Jiangnan warriors, and he was very famous in Jianghuai Xiaoguo. Because of this, Yang Guang was quite jealous of him, worried that Laihu'er would take advantage of the fire to rob and take advantage of the current chaos to rebel. Even if he knew that Guanzhong Xiaoguo was unstable, JAC Xiaoguo became his own

The rear barrier is still guarding against them, preventing Laihu'er from holding all the military power. Moreover, although Yang Guang wanted to suppress the gate valve of the Guanzhong family, he also lacked trust in the Jiangnan scholars. In Yang Guang's heart, the wealthy families of the north and south are all his opponents, and no one can sit on their own country in order to be stable. On the one hand, he suppressed the Guan Longwu people, and on the other hand, he was also jealous of the Jiangnan people. He saw the dispute between the north and the south in the court clearly, and even instigated it in the hope that they would lose each other. However, he tried to control the degree of fighting between the two sides, to

Lest the situation get out of hand. It was because he didn't dare to give power to Laihu'er, and he was also worried that the other party would take advantage of the topic and attack and kill the Guanzhong martial artists without authorization in the name of being ordered to eliminate dissidents. With such thoughts, Yang Guang naturally would not give Laihu'er the power to transfer troops to quell the rebellion and strike preemptively. Although Lai Hu'er is the prince of the country and has the heart of the southern army, after all, he is not as full of wings as those Guanzhong nobles in the army, and he can't mobilize the art of war without leaving the holy decree, and Lai Hu'er himself doesn't want to do such things, so he can only watch the situation deteriorate to this point, and make up for the mistakes and laziness of the Son of Heaven with the lives of the soldiers.
