readx; "Driving...... Under the fierce blow of the storm, the hundreds of Xi warriors who rushed to the back were lucky enough to escape the harvest of the Death Scythe, and they were so frightened that their faces were as cold as earth, and they turned their horses and fled for their lives....... Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, in front of the two armies, lying all over the corpses shot by the hard crossbow, the dazzling blood gathered into a "blood stream", and the war horse with broken legs lay on the ground and let out a dying cry from time to time.

"Ah...... Painful to death...... Save me...... Come and save me......" Countless Xi warriors whose bodies were shot through, seeing that they could not live, but when they were about to die, they let out painful wails one after another.

"Oh my God, Nanban...... Is this still a cowardly Southern Barbarian? After seeing the tragic situation in front of the two armies, the patriarchs on the grassland couldn't help but gasp several times and couldn't help but sigh.

Lao Guning watched his warriors almost slaughtered by the Southern Barbarians as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, and he now regretted that his intestines were green.

On the prairie, whoever has a fertile pasture and the most warriors is a well-deserved king.

Why can the people of the Yelu family be the emperor, but the women of the Xiao family can only be the queen? The truth is also extremely clear, with a population of millions of people, the Khitan clan is the strongest!

After just a face-to-face encounter with the Southern Barbarian army, the precious Xi warriors lost more than a thousand, and with the habits of the grassland people, this is already an unbearable huge loss!

Unlike the Khitans, who can recruit warriors of all ethnic groups, the warriors of the Xi tribe will have one less if they die, and if they want to regain their strength, they can only wait fifteen years later.

Lao Gu Ning Yuan stared at him, and his heart ached, he never dreamed that the Southern Barbarian was so bold that he dared to put the Xi Ren warrior who was charging under his nose before launching a counterattack.

The Southern Barbarian's fierce counterattack made Lao Guning and the patriarchs of all ethnic groups around him feel unbearable heavy psychological pressure.

The war has just begun, and in the blink of an eye, more than a thousand Xi warriors have lost their lives, and if it continues, no one dares to imagine that loss!

At this moment, a Xi warrior who was knocked out by a war horse suddenly crawled out of the pile of corpses, spread his legs and ran back for his life.

"Zhang Xiaoyi, that bastard who pretended to be dead will be handed over to you, and he will be half dead!" The head of the bow and crossbow battalion of the Second Army was busy, squinted his eyes, raised his hand and pointed at Xi Ren, who was running back with all his strength, and gave the order to snipe to the "marksman" under him.

Zhang Xiaoyi is actually a recruit who has been in the army for less than half a year. He was originally a hunter in Hebei, and after the Khitan army went south, he not only burned down his house, robbed his family's grain, but also took away his beloved wife.

"Whoa." Zhang Xiaoyi took the military order of Dutou loudly, he stepped on the iron ring on the crossbow arm unhurriedly, quickly wound it, and then put the crossbow arm on the shooting hole, adjusted the Wangshan and put on the special three-edged crossbow arrow, and silently aimed at the Khitan dog who fled with his back to him.

The one who escaped was actually a Xi person, not a Khitan person, but in the eyes of Zhang Xiaoyi, who was as deep as the sea, there was no difference, as long as the dog that helped the Khitan people fight, they should die!

After silently calculating the wind direction and speed in his heart, Zhang Xiaoyi adjusted the angle of the shot slightly, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

"Xiu ......" almost at the moment when Zhang Xiaoyi pulled the trigger, the special crossbow bolt with a tail fin, as if it had eyes, drew a perfect arc in mid-air, and accurately shot into the back of the taunting man.

"Ah......" The Xiren warrior was forcibly pushed forward a few steps further by an incomparable huge impact, and then let out a terrible howl and fell heavily on the yellow earth.

Zhang Xiaoyi calmly put away the crossbow, turned around, stood upright with his legs together, and said loudly: "Report to the head, the villain successfully completed the military order, please instruct." ”

Dutou Gao Xuexian saw very clearly just now that the Xi man, who wanted to escape, was nailed to the ground alive, and continued to let out a heart-shaking scream.

"Well done, credit to you!" Gao Xuehurriedly raised his hand and patted Zhang Xiaoyi's shoulder, showing a satisfied smile.

During the battle just now, Liu Dongshan, the pacification officer of Pontus, had been silently directing the doctors and carrying the wounded soldiers to the back for treatment.

Li Jiajun's military regulations are strict, and when fighting, even if he is at the same level as Dutou, he has no right to interfere with Gao Xue's command of the battle.

Now, after the battle was over for a short time, Liu Dongshan walked over quickly, grabbed Zhang Xiaoyi's arm, and shook it vigorously several times, then said happily: "Good boy, it's really you, when you just came from the recruit camp, I knew that you were a good person." ”

Zhang Xiaoyi grinned, not to mention how energetic he was, the Li family's army has always been well-paid, and he didn't care about the amount of reward, but Dutou and Du Zhenfu praised him greatly in front of all the generals, but this glory couldn't be bought by spending any amount of money.

"Brothers, everyone has done a very good job, and the enemy has not even touched the edge of the hedgehog array we have prepared, and they have been slaughtered to the ground." Du Zhenfu Liu Dongshan took advantage of the high morale momentum to praise several particularly outstanding fighters in public, "Guo Xiaowu, the speed of your winding just now is really fast...... Yan Laosi, you kid doesn't hum or haha on weekdays, and you can't hit half a stuffy fart with eight poles, but this protective shield is in place, not bad, it better protects the safety of the brothers......"

Li Zhongyi has always emphasized that the devil is actually hidden in the details, and in addition to the preferential treatment in the army, the sense of honor of the soldier is the most important thing.

As the saying goes, when a soldier eats food, eat food and become a soldier! But what is the difference between an army that has gotten into the stench of copper and is fighting for whom, and the army of the old warlords?

In many cases, a heart-warming word from the grassroots commanders, or a high degree of affirmation and praise in public, is much more effective than rewarding hundreds of dollars!

"The good men I named just now, all of them have a small merit once, and after accumulating five times, they will have the opportunity to be personally received by the handsome and enjoy the wine!" Liu Dongshan looked at the soldiers who were very hot-eyed, and simply struck while the iron was hot, and vigorously preached the supreme glory of having a big meal with the commander, "Guo Xiaowu, do you want to drink with the old man and the handsome?" ”

Guo Xiaowu straightened his waist, held his head high, and shouted excitedly: "If you go back to Zhenfu, you can drink wine and eat meat with the old man, and even if the little one dies immediately, he is willing." ”

The words are not rough, the emotions of the soldiers are extremely simple, and occasionally burst out foul language, even if it is not very auspicious, Liu Dongshan, who is a professional calmer in the capital, is completely understandable.

On the battlefield, the bow and crossbow do not have eyes, and whoever is there may be a stray arrow wound or even lose their life.

This is determined by the cruelty of war, and it is not subject to anyone's will, but the veterans have been baptized by blood and fire countless times, and they have looked down on life and death!

When fighting, there is still a lot of life to move forward desperately, even if you take half a step back, you will definitely have your head cut off, and at the same time, your family will be disgraced.

In the Li family's army, the treatment of the fallen warriors has always been extremely favorable, not only with a high one-time pension, but also, according to Li Zhongyi's public promise, the military is obliged to support his unremarried wife, orphans and high hall.

At the same time, in this era of war and chaos, Li Jiajun is a unique army that does not need to tattoo words on soldiers' faces.

Tattooing on the face is a method of preventing desertion that has gradually become popular since the Later Jin Dynasty Tianfu and caused serious humiliation to the soldier's personality.

Ironically, in the face of the Khitan attack, even with a tattoo on the face, the Later Jin court was still unable to effectively prevent the large-scale desertion.

Li Zhongyi is a latecomer, and he knows very well that in order to make his subordinates fight to the death, in addition to strict military law, generous treatment, and necessary honors, appropriate rewards or family members also play a very important role.

Since the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the successive dynasties have not been a society governed by the rule of law, but a family-state clan system based on blood relations.

According to the logic of one person's ascension to heaven, if one person is reversed, one person becomes a deserter, and the whole family is unlucky!

Although this arrangement, according to the eyes of modern people, is very unreasonable, but in that era when the three tribes were connected at every turn, it had a strong deterrent power.

For example, Xun Yu during the Three Kingdoms period, he was forced to commit suicide by Cao Cao because he opposed the Cao family's usurpation of the Han family.

With the latent power that Xun Yu has had in power in Cao Wei for many years, he would rather commit suicide than dare to rise up to resist, and the hidden logic behind this is actually that if Xun Yu learns the precedent of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and escapes from Xu Du to rebel, the entire Xun family will only be uprooted by Cao Mengde like the Yuan family, and the clan will be wiped out!

Of course, it is impossible for Li Zhongyi to use brutal means to destroy his old subordinates, he just wants the families of deserters to be spurned no matter where they go.

After the victory in the first battle, in the ranks of Li Jiajun, the commanders and the pacificers came forward one after another, taking advantage of the gap between the battles to carry out ideological education work against time.

Li Zhongyi stood on the hillside with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "Right Pavilion, do you think we are striking while the iron is hot, and we will rush over immediately, so it's better to wait?" ”

He Dabei, the deputy commander of the Senate Department and the Inspection School, followed Li Zhongyi's example, touched the short beard on his chin, narrowed his eyes, and slowly swallowed: "You are asking knowingly, if we kill it now, those princes on the grassland will have to be forced to twist into a rope and fight to the death with us in order to survive." Even if we win in the end, I'm afraid the loss will not be small, after all, even if there are more than 70,000 pigs on the other side, it is enough for us to kill for several hours. ”

Li Zhongyi heard He Dabei compare the grassland tribesmen to pigs, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "The barbarians have always been afraid of power but not virtue, although Fang Cai's first battle simply killed a thousand people, I am afraid that it did not really make the princes on the opposite side frightened. ”

He Dabei nodded, he deeply agreed with Li Zhongyi's judgment, and added: "The princes on the grassland have not been beaten yet, so there will definitely be a fierce battle next." Xiang Shuai, I'm not too worried about the enemy on the other side, but Yang Lie's side is facing the elite leather room army led by Yelu Huge, which is a little unclear. ”

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and smiled indifferently: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins." With the strength Yang Lie has at hand, if he is dedicated to defense, there will be no problem in holding out for two days. What's more, Yang Lie has a horse in his hand, and a few secret weapons I gave him, which is enough for Brother Yelu Xiu to drink several pots. ”

He Dabei was still a little uneasy, and asked Li Zhongyi: "After all, Yang Lie only has a few thousand soldiers and horses......

Li Zhongyi waved his hand and said: "He Yang Baixing has always boasted that he is the white of this dynasty, and he can't stand such a small scene, how can he be alone in the future?" ”

He Dabei figured out that Li Zhongyi and Yang Lie, the two masters and apprentices, must have a secret agreement with each other in secret!

In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand cavalry were wiped clean by the Li family's army, and there was not even any scum left, which the patriarchs on the grassland never dreamed of!

The patriarchs and princes present had all participated in the battle of going south to fight the grass valley, and they had constant friction with each other for the sake of fighting for fertile pastures.

Therefore, all the patriarchs and princes are not short of actual combat experience, and the current problem is: more than a thousand Xi warriors with amazing combat effectiveness were wiped out in an instant, and the Li family army was almost unharmed, how many lives do they need to fill in the next step to completely eliminate the Li family army?

The habit of the grassland peoples was originally to bully the weak and fear the hard, to take advantage of the advantage, and to withdraw if they could not win or the price was too great.

The small abacus of the patriarchs made a loud noise, and King Xi Lao Guning also muttered in his heart, he brought more than 30,000 soldiers out of this battle, and he expected to swallow Li Zhongyi's southern barbarian army in one bite at a small price, and robbed them of the gold and silver treasures in their hands.

Fortunately, more than a thousand elite warriors were killed by the Southern Barbarians without even hearing a sound.

The husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and when the catastrophe came, Lao Guning's originally extremely firm belief was completely shaken by the strong strength of the Li family's army, and he turned his eyes and hit the idea on the patriarchs who came with him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our coalition army has at least more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, are we afraid that there are only more than 20,000 southern barbarians?" Lao Guning dragged out his voice and agitated, "Everyone has also seen that all kinds of materials behind the Southern Barbarian formation are piled up, if our troops are divided into two ways and a few combined attacks, we will definitely be able to make the Southern Barbarians unable to take care of each other, and it is only a matter of time for the whole army to collapse......

The patriarchs on the grassland looked at each other, and no one spoke, but in the end they all focused their eyes on the body of the patriarch of the Murwei Violent Bear.

Don't look at the violent bear on weekdays, he is a fool who is not stingy, that is the foolish appearance he deliberately pretended, with Lao Guning's current frame, if the violent bear leads the trouble, I am afraid that he will not take advantage of it, but he will lose his head.

On the surface, King Xi Lao Guning seems to be a benevolent elder, but in fact, Storm Bear knows very well in his heart that this old thing is simply a villain who eats people and does not spit out bones, and has a bad stomach.

The violent bear shrank his head and deliberately looked around, but he did not stand up as the patriarchs expected, which really made everyone unexpected.

Lao Guning waited for a long time, and without waiting for the patriarch's response, he couldn't help but sink his face, and threatened: "Everyone, I have patted His Majesty the Emperor on the chest, if you deliberately let go of the Southern Barbarians, Your Majesty will blame it, and everyone will be unlucky!" ”

The violent bear stared at a pair of bull's eyes, staring at Lao Guning's face, hehe, who doesn't know that the queen of the Great Khitan Kingdom today is the niece of their Xi clan?

That is, Lao Guning occupies such a layer of nepotism, and the various tribes on Tokyo Road are just following him to fight Li Zhongyi, otherwise, who will bird him?

Although Lao Guning threatened the patriarchs, no one else was able to beat him, and the capital of their qualifications was only so much, and the loss of a warrior would be less than a strong labor.

You know, on the prairie, the most terrible thing is not that the pastures are not fertile, but that there are too few warriors who have the ability to hold the pastures!

The continuous cold field made Lao Guning's face unbearable, and he shouted loudly: "The Southern Barbarians have come all the way here, the bow and crossbow are definitely not enough, as long as we work together, are we afraid that we can't destroy them?" ”

Among the patriarchs present, the strength of the Xianbei tribe was the weakest, and there were more than 10,000 warriors in the violent bear of Murowei, and the eastern branch of their Xianbei tribe was now at best only 5,000 old and weak remnants.

Yu Wenchang, the patriarch of the Xianbei clan, what he is most worried about now is that Lao Guning persimmons pick up soft pinching and force them Xianbei Yuwen to risk death to take the lead.

In fact, there are not a few patriarchs who have the same worries as Yu Wenchang. The various ethnic groups that can be moved by Lao Guning will not be too strong, and the wild people of the Jurchen tribe who are really effective will not listen to Lao Guning's greetings at all.

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Zhongyi never saw the various tribes of the grassland, launched a second attack, or a full-scale general attack, and he knew that these guys who bullied the soft and feared the hard, because of their selfish intentions, had already coaxed before the battle!

Zhu Niang has always been very vigilant to protect Li Zhongyi's side, always guarding against cold arrows that never know from which direction.

Li Zhongyi looked up at the sky and gave a resolute order: "Order the whole army to advance at a uniform speed, the enemy does not dare to come, let's take the initiative to meet it!" ”

He said that he was not worried about Yang Lie's side, but in fact, if Yelu Xiuge took advantage of the mobility of the cavalry, as long as he divided his troops to contain Yang Lie's cavalry army, it was actually very likely that he would make a detour and sneak attack from behind.

"The commander has an order, blow the trumpet, and the whole army advances!" After the herald repeated Li Zhongyi's military order in detail, he turned around and ran to the front of the commander's formation and conveyed the order for the general decisive battle.

"Didi-da-d-da-......" For a while, the loud sound of the marching brass horn resounded over the entire battlefield.

After receiving the order, Liu Heyang turned over his horse, pulled out the war knife at his waist, and shouted: "Brothers, the decisive battle has begun, let's move forward together!" ”
