Chapter 82: A fierce duel
In the mountains in winter, the cold wind is everywhere, and the blowing makes people's bones seem to turn into ice cubes.
In the cold wind, many flags were erected high in the military array of the Tang Dynasty, and the largest one was a red dragon flag embroidered with teeth and claws, but from a distance, this red dragon seemed to be a cartoon dragon, chubby, with small claws stretched out and grasping a sharp sword.
This is the imperial flag of the guards of the Tang Dynasty, designed by the emperor Li Xuan himself, and embroidered by the empress Dong Yunyun and the maid Zhu'er.
Originally, when Li Xuan designed it, the pattern drawn was quite powerful, but after Dong Yunyun's master and servant's hands were embroidered like this, it became nondescript, and the mighty red dragon became a chubby little red dragon.
In Zhu'er's words, it looks so much cuter!
When Li Xuan saw the red dragon sword banner made for the Guards, his face was black, but the materials in Huangzhu Mountain were limited, and such a large silk flag could not be used if it was wrong, so it could only be used first.
After the fat dragon holds the sword flag, it is the general flag of the main generals, these general flags are much simpler, all the pennants, the surnames of the main generals written on them, such as Fang, Huang, Chen, Qian, Wang, etc.
Don't think that the Tang Dynasty Wang Shi erected so many obvious flags in front of the battle is a show, these flags have a huge practical effect, and they are necessary for the generals to command the army.
On the battlefield where the means of communication are backward and at the same time chaotic, the soldiers basically follow the banner of the commander, once there is no flag, even the regular army will directly cause chaos and even collapse, not to mention these bandits in Huangzhushan.
On the other side, the Black Tiger Village and Huangguishan coalition forces on the opposite side also have many flags waving in the wind.
The armies of the two sides faced each other in this small plain, and for a while, the heavens and the earth seemed to be silent, the cold wind in the valley stopped, and only the murderous aura emitted by the two sides floated in the air, as if people could smell the strong smell of blood.
Time passes little by little!
As Qian Mengjiu stood on the wooden platform again and beat the giant drum, the armies of both sides also began to act!
The soldiers on both sides walked with firm and trembling steps, slowly approaching step by step, from 600 meters to 400 meters, and then to 300 meters.
At this time, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to the final charging distance!
At this time, a strong man on the side of the Black Tiger Village stepped forward, and saw that this person was no less tall than Chen Butcher, with a big waist and a round waist, wearing a tiger fur coat, and holding a water mill Zen staff that was nearly a foot long.
After this person took a step forward, he shouted: "Cai Erhu of Black Tiger Village is here, where are you waiting for the demon, don't report your name quickly!" ”
As soon as they heard this, there was a little chaos among the people in Huangzhushan, and many of the bandits were afraid and muttered in a low voice: "This person is Cai Erhu?" ”
"But no, look at the big shovel in his hand, I heard that it weighs fifty or sixty pounds, within a radius of 100 miles, except for Cai Erhu, the big boss of the Black Tiger Village, who else uses such a heavy weapon!"
"So this is him, but I've heard that he once single-handedly killed a caravan!"
"But no, I heard that two years ago, he split the old boss of Black Tiger Village with one knife, and then became the boss of Black Tiger Village!"
Seeing that the bandits under his command were frightened by the other party's momentum and confused the morale of the army, Fang Dongquan immediately shouted: "Bold maniac, the Tang Heavenly Soldiers are here, don't you kneel down quickly!" ”
"Haha, if you are a heavenly soldier, Lao Tzu is a divine soldier, I have long heard that you people in Huangzhushan are all neurotic, and when I look at it today, it is really so, and they are all very sick!" As soon as he heard the four words of Datang Tianbing, Cai Erhu laughed, and even bent down with a stomachache from laughter, and the bandits in Black Tiger Village and Huangguishan behind him also laughed.
Hearing that the other party actually laughed, and the joke was still the Tang Dynasty that they were proud of, although Fang Dongquan himself knew that the Tang Dynasty they had made was a bit of a child's play, but it was absolutely intolerable to let others openly ridicule them in front of the battle.
At this time, Butcher Chen also took a few steps forward with his pig-killing knife, stood in front of the formation, and puffed up his breath and said: "Wait for the thief, dare to come out and fight with a certain family!" ”
Cai Erhu listened to it, and laughed again: "Why don't you dare!" ”
Immediately, it was from the hands of others to take a thin horse with a few taels of flesh, skinny bones, as soon as he turned over and sat up, the heavy body and the dozens of pounds of water mill Zen staff almost did not crush the skinny horse under the crotch directly, and the skinny horse choked several times before standing firm.
Riding on a horse, he waved forward with a water mill Zen staff in his hand: "Come on! ”
At this time, someone else also brought a horse to Butcher Chen, this horse was captured from the hands of the Ming army, although it was quite sturdy, but it was too short, and after the tall Butcher Chen sat on it, his feet could directly touch the ground.
As soon as his feet clamped the horse's belly, he kicked on the ground at the same time, and immediately rushed out!
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
As the two generals rushed forward separately, although the two sides were still more than a hundred meters apart, the bandits on both sides were already shouting excitedly.
"Come on General Chen, him, him hard!"
"The big boss is invincible!"
When the bandits under his command shouted, Qian Mengjiu on the side also stopped beating the drum and said a few words to the few bandits with bows and arrows around him.
After hearing this, the bandits nodded in succession, and then these people quietly stepped forward with bows and arrows, ready to bend their bows and arrows to prevent accidents.
At this time, in the open space in front of the two sides, the distance between Butcher Chen and Cai Erhu was only more than ten meters away, but at this time, the pony under Butcher Chen's crotch finally couldn't bear the tall and heavy Butcher Chen, and after running wildly for more than 100 meters, he directly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, almost knocking Butcher Chen to the ground.
Fortunately, Butcher Chen is tall and has long legs, which is a typical long-legged Oba in later generations, seeing that the situation is not good, as soon as he steps on the ground, he immediately flies down from the horse, and the whole set of movements is extremely smooth, handsome to the point of not being good.
At this time, Cai Erhu was already riding a thin horse and staggered in front of him, although Cai Erhu's horse was thin, but no matter how thin it was, there were three taels of meat, although he was tired enough to choke when he ran over with Cai Erhu, a strong man of more than 100 meters, but he finally didn't fall to the ground.
Seeing Cai Erhu continuing to rush over, Butcher Chen rolled to the ground in a hurry, and then his legs suddenly exerted force, and he ran wildly with a pig-killing knife in his hand, with an extremely hideous expression on his face, as if he was going to slaughter thousands of troops and horses in front of him.
On the opposite side, Cai Erhu was suddenly stunned by the sudden force of Butcher Chen, because this Butcher Chen was running in the wrong direction with a pig-killing knife.
He didn't come at him, but fled to the rear.
Cai Erhu immediately laughed wildly, and rode his horse to chase after him again, and the water mill Zen staff in his hand was less than a few meters away from the Chen butcher in front of him.
At this moment, Fang Dongquan and the others were extremely nervous, for fear that Butcher Chen would be beheaded in front of the battle, and several archers arranged by Qian Mengjiu had already begun to run forward, bending their bows and arrows while running, wanting to come forward to rescue.
And at this time, the thin horse under Cai Erhu's crotch was weak for a while, and then fell directly to the ground, foaming at the mouth and unable to get up again.
The two sides will face off against each other, and before they have officially fought each other, each other's war horses have been fallen one after another, which shows the fierceness of the battle!
