Volume II: Turbulent Waves Chapter 60: Invincible

Nearly two thousand knights, dressed in triple cowhide armor, charged with broadswords. After the war horse was also equipped with two layers of light armor, the simple armor equipment rode out of the oven and rushed towards the Sui army with the roar of the horse's hooves.

Han Shi'e's long knife took advantage of the situation and slashed down the head of a Sui soldier. The next moment, the spear stabbed from the side slashed along the armor, but it didn't make him feel a bloody sting through the armor.

Without waiting for the Sui soldiers to move again, the long knife in front of the horse was raised again and slashed a Sui soldier.

Arrows can't shoot, guns can't stab!

In the surprise of the Sui army, Han Shi'e roared with a knife, swung a knife, and kept swinging his knife according to inertia, blocking the invincible!

The iron cavalry of the Chu army was like a supreme sword, domineeringly splitting the Sui army's formation, and Fan Zigai, who was staying in the eastern capital, felt a chill in his heart.

Looking to the other right, there is also a team of heavily armored knights rushing forward, killing people like mowing grass.

The horses stepped on the joint venture, and the big swords rose and fell like pieces of snowy lightning, and the middle ones all screamed and died.

The frontal charge is just a decoy, the iron rider is like a mountain, and the wings are outflanked!

This most classic mixed infantry tactic bursts out with unparalleled lethality as soon as it is activated.

In China, this tactic is called a series of sudden gallops, and it has only appeared three times in history.

Xiang Yu relied on the serial rush tactics, and in the first battle of Pengcheng, 30,000 iron cavalry broke the 560,000 Han army of Han Gaozu, and Liu Bang abandoned his wife and children and fled.

Huo Qubing relied on the method of serial sudden galloping, breaking the six countries in five days, drinking Ma Hanhai, sealing the wolf Juxu, Xigui Dahe, and praying for the counties, and the Huns who fought the invincible escaped far away.

Later, at the turn of Song and Liao, Yelu Xiuge was also proficient in this way, and the battle of the Gaoliang River broke the 850,000 forbidden army camp of Song Taizong in one day, which made Zhao Guangyi break his courage and fled by donkey cart, eliminating the possibility of the Great Song Dynasty dominating the world.

Coincidentally, in the Western world, Alexander the Great, who invented a frontal lure and outflanked the phalanx with iron cavalry, also relied on this tactic to overwhelm the emperor and conquer the unprecedented Alexander Empire.

Another general who carried forward this tactic, Hannibal, used this tactic to fight the Roman Empire on his own, and was revered as the god of war and one of the four great commanders of the West. (The four great commanders of the West were Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Hannibal, and Napoleon.) )

The key to this tactic is to lure the enemy head-on, and outflank the assault with cavalry, which must be perfectly coordinated, and if there is the slightest deviation, the enemy will break it individually.

Gao Si didn't understand this tactic, but in order to win by surprise, he used his magical power to perform a series of sudden gallops at the right time and place, and issued a peerless blow!

The tide of the war has reversed, and the crisis has crept in.

Gao Si's strength was definitely consumed too much, and the seven-star sword in his hand rebounded on the spot, and he could only watch as the iron spear that came to him stabbed in the chest.

Win the battle, but die on the battlefield!

At the critical moment, Hu Sizheng suddenly shouted from the side: "General beware! Watch out! ”

At the same time, he held a knife in both hands to intercept.

But I saw that the whole iron spear was stabbed one by one, and with a pop, it hit Hu Sizheng's left shoulder, and blood waves gushed out along the tip of the spear.

"Be a faithful servant, spare and not die, go." I came to see that Hu Sizheng, a Xianbei person, could sacrifice himself for the Lord, and he couldn't bear to start, pulled out an iron spear, and pushed him more than a dozen steps away.

On the battlefield, life or death!

Stimulated by this, Gao Si violently grasped the sword with both hands, raised it and roared: "Come and fight......!" ”

When you meet on a narrow road, you would rather die than retreat.

Probably because of the desire to die to stimulate his potential, Gao Si slashed out four swords in a row with a sword in both hands, slashing at the same time from four directions.

to raise the spear to resist, as a new force, soon kill the high horse full of danger.

He was about to use his strength to take the life of the enemy general, only to hear a Sui soldier next to him shouting: "Young general, be careful!" ”

While! Lai returned to the spear defense in time, but was still shocked by the saber and took a few steps back.

"Break the formation! Break the formation! Break the formation! ”

Li Zixiong shouted and led the iron cavalry to kill, and at the critical moment, he broke through the siege of the Sui army and saved Gao Si.

"Keep rushing!" Gao Si took the opportunity, grabbed a war horse, and let his relatives hold high the battle flag, and launched the final charge against the Sui army.

The battlefield changed again, first the infantry attacked, and the cavalry charged. Now it has become a cavalry charge, infantry attack.

"Damn! How could there be heavy cavalry? After Fan Zigai realized that something was wrong, he immediately transferred troops from the rear, laid down a shield array, erected a spear, and prepared to block the Chu army's front and then counterattack.

Han Shi'e also broke through the interception at this time, cut off the head of the main general of the Sui army's forward with a knife, raised it on the horse, and shouted: "Death to those who stand in my way!" ”

It turned out to be Song Jing's head!

The Changshui Captain Song Jing and Song Weishan were killed in battle, almost shaking the entire Sui army like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Several Sui officers and soldiers in the forward battalion cried out: "General! The general is dead! ”

The morale of the officers and soldiers plummeted.

Gao Si only felt that the strength gushed out of his body out of nowhere, and shouted, "Follow me!" ”

Urging the war horses to charge again, wanting to completely crush the Sui army's formation.

Li Zixiong didn't expect an unexpected victory, and now Luoyang is at his fingertips!

So, he rode his horse and rushed over the high horse, to make the first great achievement.

Above the city, Liu Zixiang saw that the Sui army was defeated, and he quickly reacted in shock, and summoned another captain to order: "Zhang You, prepare for my crossbowmen!" ”

Zhang You immediately mobilized hundreds of crossbowmen and crouched behind the city wall. Seeing that the thieves under the city entered the firing range, he shouted: "Release!" ”

Buzz - arrows rained down, and hundreds of arrows immediately shot Li Zixiong and dozens of knights who followed the impact into hedgehogs.

Gao Si was startled, and pulled the reins sharply, stopping the momentum of the charge.

"It's dangerous!"

At this time, there were a few heavy bangs, and the corpses of Li Zixiong and the others fell heavily to the ground with the war horses.

"It's a pity." Liu Zixiang sighed at the head of the city.

"I wanted to hunt a tiger, but I didn't want to hit a deer by mistake."

After this setback, the momentum of the charge was reduced, and Fan Zigai took the opportunity to regroup.

The fighter plane had been lost, and I had to order: "Withdraw the troops!" ”

The flag waved, and the army slowly returned.

The officers and soldiers did not chase after them, and also collected their troops and returned to the city, waiting for the next big battle.

In this battle, each side has its own damage, and it can be described as a mixed victory.

At the foot of the Beibi Mountain, the open land of the valley is just the courage of the army.

This is the ancient battlefield where soldiers clashed.

The sun was obliquely shining, and the soldiers were continuous, adding a trace of tragic atmosphere to the battlefield.

The 70,000 soldiers of the Chu army were divided into formations, holding knives, guns, and bows in their hands, interlocking with each other, and confronted the Sui army in the field ahead.

In the main camp of the Sui army, Wei Wensheng's face was calm, but in fact, he was still a little nervous.

Tens of thousands of battles and killings, just a tragic estimate, will make people's hearts chill.

"My lord, Qu Tutong's ambush is already in place." At this time, in the main camp, all the generals were there, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanshu three brothers, Wei Yi, Duan Sheng, Chai Bao and others were all there, and Xue Wanche reported.

"Qu Tutong is a general general, this ambush in the forest, front and back, will definitely win. Besides, our army has lost a lot, this is a shameful opportunity, do you understand? Wei Wensheng said.

"Report!" The scout came to report that the army of the traitor Yang Xuangan had all been dispatched.

"Fight!" Wei Wensheng ordered, and at the same time told everyone: "Order all the troops to go out of the camp and line up on the flat ground for a decisive battle!" ”

"No!" The generals below responded in unison, gave a military salute, and turned to mobilize the army.

The two armies meet!

Yang Xuangan rode to the front of the array, swept the soldiers with sharp heavy pupils, and said: "Soldiers, the officers and soldiers are here to cut off our heads for meritorious service, kill our families, and rob our wives and children. If you don't talk nonsense, are you willing to follow me to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions and create a great cause?"

The soldiers all responded, and the cry shook the sky: "I am willing to fight to the death for the general!" ”

Yang Xuangan nodded and said, "This time, I personally commanded the army, supervised the war, and those who escaped from the battle will be killed!"

The sword and axe hand in the back is the prison army, but there is a retreat, no matter what the origin is, there is no forgiveness! ”

As soon as these words came out, tens of thousands of troops were shaken.

"Kill!" Accompanied by war drums and flags, the armies of both sides fought together.

There was a sharp roar in front of the formation, and a group of soldiers, lined up, each caught and killed.

"Master, this battle is up to your command." Yang Xuangan said that all the changes in the army were handed over to Li Mi.

In his previous life, Li Mineng commanded a large army, commanded hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops, was invincible, and almost conquered the eastern capital.

This time facing the Tiger Ben army, it was mostly a tough battle, and naturally Li Mi was needed to sit in the Chinese army, and he looked for another fighter and led the cavalry to break through.

That's trust.

Li Mi Zhuoli was in the center of the army, his face was solemn, with a bit of a solemn atmosphere, and he responded: "No! ”

Then he took a deep breath and calmly ordered: "All archers listen to the order and prepare to shoot!" ”

The flag officer next to him responded to the order, immediately took down the two command flags, and waved them to issue the order.

Suddenly, a group of archers quickly moved into action, and under the cover of sword and shield soldiers, they bent their bows and arrows.

At this time, the tiger army on the opposite side also kept stepping forward, the ground was trampled and trembled slightly, and the murderous aura between the two armies became more and more intense.

"Put!" Li Mi waited for the enemy army to approach and gave the order without hesitation.

The command flag waved heavily, and the "boom" sound of arrows was endless, and hundreds of screams suddenly rang out from the enemy's array.

Almost at the same time, the enemy shouted, first with bows and arrows, and then charged.

At this time, the front of the two armies was only 100 meters, and they arrived as soon as they rushed, and after three rounds of arrow rain, the two armies collided fiercely.

Yang Xuanting restrained his mind, his face was not happy or sad, his expression was indifferent, and the horse lance was straight, and Yang Xuanting led the cavalry to follow left and right, standing with a sword, and just waiting for an order to launch an attack.

"Break the formation, break the enemy!" Yang Xuan felt heavy eyes and opened his eyes angrily, and took the lead and entered the official army.

In the Tiger Ben Army, the three brothers Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanshu also shouted and joined forces to fight against Yang Xuangan.

Go into battle as brothers, fight tigers and never separate.

Although the Tiger Ben Army still maintained a group of backbone elites after consecutive defeats, but when it really reached the moment of life and death, the main force definitely did not exceed 12,000 people, and the others retreated in the face of Yang Xuangan's crazy assault.

"Kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"

The Tiger Ben army suffered huge losses, Wei Wensheng ordered a counterattack, and even killed several generals and colonels, but he couldn't stop drinking.

The officers and troops were defeated and retreated, and the Chu army was frantically advancing and invincible!

Boom, the Tiger Ben army fought so far, it was an expedition of the labor division, and after a brutal attack, it finally couldn't hold on, the formation collapsed, and the camp was lost.

The fire of the camp in Jinguyuan rose into the sky, and thick smoke billowed from it.

Yang Xuangan was in a hearty place, he was really brave and invincible, and the three tigers of the Xue family were invincible, so he fled in panic.

Yang Xuanting also scattered his army and pursued with all his might.

"The anti-thief is rampant, kill me!" Qu Tutong, the flanks and rear of the two warring sides, 30,000 elite ambush soldiers suddenly appeared, dividing and surrounding the Chu army in one fell swoop.

In an instant, the three parties were twisted together, and the sound of killing was shocking.

Bow and arrow shooting, cavalry rushing, infantry attacking!

The Qutu Tong is like a delicate machine, and it can't help but compress the encirclement.

Wei Wensheng got a chance to breathe, and he also rectified the elite and turned around to fight back.

"Poof!" was first shot through by a sharp arrow, and then pierced through the chest by a spear from Qu Tutong, Yang Xuanting screamed, was cut off his head, and died.

The formation of the Chu army collapsed in an instant.

"Ahh "Rushing left and right, but falling into a heavy encirclement, the more officers and soldiers were killed.

Seeing that the front was in a stalemate, Li Mi personally carried the sword and led the infantry into the battle under the escort of Wang Bodang.

Boom - like a blood-colored wave bursting out, another big scuffle.

The fight lasted until evening.

Yang Xuangan's final blow failed to work.

Under the city of Luoyang, the blunt soldiers of the Chu army, the situation became more and more dangerous.
