Chapter 57: Revenge
A clairvoyant mirror carved in bronze was held up straight and looked in the direction of Li Xiaojun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The person who watched, the fat face that was half surrounded by a thick fox fur, showed unbearable joy.
"Lord Wang, then Li Xiao really killed Zhang Degui, now, it's our turn to clean up the mess!" Hua Ji came over from the side and smiled at Wang Daoqi, who was watching with a clairglass in his forehand.
Wang Daoqi nodded with satisfaction, he was not wearing armor, but he was wearing a warmer fox fur, as if he was traveling here. He was dressed like this because in his heart, he had long thought that this battle could be easily ended like a trip.
He was about to speak, when he saw a stumbling figure in the distance, almost frantically lunging towards his horse's head.
"Lord Wang, help me! All the goods of the net worth were robbed by Li Xiao! I beg your help to recapture it, and it will be heavy in the next 。。。。。 ”
Zhang Degui, who came wildly, had not yet said the word thank you in his mouth, and Wang Daoqi, whose face was tense, glanced at Zhou Qi next to him with cold eyes.
Zhang Degui closed his mouth in horror, he saw that this guy Zhou Qi, who had just broken away from his team, had a hideous smile on his face, drew Sen Han's saber, and rushed towards him.
"Zhou Qi, you bastard! You thief! What are you going to do。。。。。。 ”
Zhang Degui suddenly understood, he opened his mouth and scolded, before he finished speaking, the saber in Zhou Qi's hand was already swinging down quickly.
The sword flashed, and Zhang Degui's chubby head rose into the sky, drawing a long arc in the air, and fell silently in the slush, but the head covered with blood and snow foam was still open.
"Command the whole army to attack forward! Be sure to eliminate Li Xiao, the thief who killed Zhang's shopkeeper and robbed the goods! Wang Daoqi pulled out his waist knife and shouted loudly.
300 infantry armed with swords and 100 cavalrymen with helmets and spears put on a battle formation in front of and behind, showing a fairly large expansion of the format, and quickly pressed towards Li Xiao's soldiers on the opposite side.
Li Xiao's eyes were like iron, and his face was expressionless. It's just that I was sighing secretly in my heart, and sure enough, my worries that day finally appeared.
This king Dodge is really a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.
Now it seems that Zhou Qi, who contacted Tian Wei, was nothing more than a bait thrown at him. After he killed Zhang Degui's smuggling team, this Wang Daoqi naturally wanted to eliminate himself logically.
Hmph, you want to eliminate this official, but you have miscalculated!
Li Xiao saw from a distance that those infantry should all be battalion soldiers from Zhongtun, although they each held swords, but there were not many of them wearing armor. And those cavalry, compared to the infantry, were much better. It is mainly composed of Ren Guangyuan's family team, plus some expanded cavalry, all of which are fully armored and sharp-armed.
The oncoming enemy army showed a strong cavalry and weak foot, and the number was several times that of their own army.
The time to test Li Xiao has finally come.
On Li Xiao's face, a faint smile slid through.
He waved the flag in his hand and shouted in his mouth. Soon, the military formation on his side was also lined up.
Li Xiao arranged the infantry in a rather peculiar square formation.
In the middle, there are 30 shield soldiers, followed by 30 spearmen of team A, and team B spearmen are divided into two groups of 15 men each, arranged on the left and right sides, with the tips of the guns pointing outwards to protect the left and right flanks.
As for the more than 70 captured swordsmen who were tied up like rice dumplings, they were forced to walk at the forefront of the infantry battle formation.
In Li Xiao's tactical arrangement, these more than 70 captured swordsmen were used to disrupt the enemy battle formation on the opposite side, while his own infantry was used to attract the enemy to concentrate on attacking.
These are all existences as feints.
The real assault and decisive force is the elite cavalry that Li Xiao relied on.
After the infantry battle formation, the Xuanhu heavy cavalry and the flying harriers, all quietly concentrated on the left side, and quickly set up in a wedge-shaped battle formation.
In the snowstorm, the two armies quickly approached.
When there were still about 30 paces away from the enemy army on the opposite side, those knifemen who were tied like zongzi, I don't know who shouted, and then the more than 70 people who were tied to the knifemen, thinking that they had gained a little life, stumbled one after another, and fled to the opposite side in a disorderly manner.
This is exactly the effect that Li Xiao wants.
Use these captured swordsmen to disrupt the enemy formation rushing from the opposite side.
The knife man who rushed to the opposite side shouted and pleaded. These people who thought they had finally escaped never expected that they would be greeted with cold knives and guns.
The screams quickly rang out, and the more than 70 swordsmen with their hands tied were almost killed by the battalion soldiers who were quickly striding towards them.
Li Xiao didn't care about the fate of these swordsmen, he only cared about the effect they had.
What made him happy was that due to the sudden obstruction of this sword and meat wall, the originally neat battalion formation on the opposite side inevitably appeared chaotic.
Li Xiaojun's infantry seized the opportunity, shouted and rushed into the opposite battalion, and fought in battle.
At the same time, Li Xiao's cavalry battle formation let out a long whistle and started to charge from the side.
All of this behaves like a well-designed machine.
As the cavalry began to speed up and advance from trotting to sprinting, the phalanx of Li Xiaojun's infantry was surrounded on three sides by the surging enemy battalions.
Li Xiao's eyes were like an eagle, he stared straight at the movement of the enemy army opposite, but his face was as calm as iron.
Li Xiao is gambling.
He was betting that his infantry could resist several times the enemy battalion in a short period of time, and surrounded him semi-circularly from three sides. Then, in this short period of time, the cavalry was able to launch a surprise attack from one side and crush the enemy infantry before the enemy cavalry could arrive.
"Lord Wang, the enemy is going to flank our infantry, and our cavalry is going to hurry up!" Ren Guangyuan, the captain of the family, saw through Li Xiao's intentions and hurriedly shouted loudly to remind Wang Daoqi.
Wang Daoqi also came to his senses, his face was full of panic, and he shouted loudly: "All the cavalry attack!" We must stop Li Xiao's cavalry! ”
It's late.
When Ren Guangyuan and the other cavalry shouted and accelerated towards Li Xiao's cavalry team, all the cavalry of Li Xiao's army had fully accelerated their charge, led by the Xuanhu heavy cavalry, and the wedge-shaped battle formation followed by the flying harrier light cavalry was like an arrow off the string, shooting towards the enemy battalion soldiers who were unsuspecting and trying to surround Li Xiao's infantry on the left.
"Tiger!"
The Xuanhu Heavy Rider who rushed forward violently, the sharp impact, like a sharp blade, cut through a messy piece of cream.
The battalion on the left immediately collapsed.
These battalion soldiers cried and howled, turned around and fled backwards, but they were bumping into Ren Guangyuan's cavalry team who wanted to hedge against the enemy, so that Ren Guangyuan and the others had to delay their pace of progress.
"Get out of here! Get out of the way! Ren Guangyuan hissed and roared, trying to squeeze a way out of the chaotic fleeing battalion on the left, but to his annoyance, the collapsed battalion soldier ignored his shouts at all, and still cried and kept rushing towards his cavalry.
Ren Guangyuan gritted his teeth with hatred, he brushed the ground and stuck a knife, slashing and killing the battalion soldiers who stood in the way.
With their own superiors as an example, the other cavalry also drew their swords and slashed at the fleeing battalions.
The battalion soldiers who were caught between Li Xiaojun's cavalry and his own cavalry were even more frightened and panicked, and their cries shook the heavens and the earth, and everyone was scurrying around like headless flies.
Li Xiao was pleased to see that due to the collapse of the battalion on the left, the battalion soldiers on the middle and right also began to loosen and riot. Li Xiaojun's infantry, which was originally overwhelmed, began to vigorously counterattack.
He saw that the rigors of the past were now working very well.
From the top of the slanted shields, fierce and fierce triangular steel spear heads stabbed out at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye, like a poisonous snake that had been patiently lurking, finally seizing the opportunity to spew deadly venom.
More than twenty battalion soldiers were killed, and the surviving enemy battalion soldiers were horrified to see that the sharp and vicious three-edged steel spear head with deep blood grooves seemed to have eyes, and quickly pierced their heads, necks, or chests.
A battalion leader was brutally pierced in the neck by a spear, and the surging blood that burst from the ruptured carotid artery quickly covered his shocked and terrified eyes with death.
Before the rest of the battalion could react, whether to continue the attack or turn and flee, the dozens of spears were already slammed back, and then stabbed forward with the same ferocity.
The spears flew and the screams of death rang out one after another.
Li Xiao's cavalry, seeing that their infantry was gradually succeeding, let out a long scream together with great excitement, letting go of the left battalion soldiers who were chasing and fleeing, and turned their horses and rushed straight to the battalion soldiers in the middle.
"Tiger!"
Xuanhu rode heavily and took the lead in a sharp blow, and the entire battalion that was still fighting hard collapsed.
I don't know who let out a cry of escape that was not like a human voice, and then, as if they had received a unified order, the remaining battalion soldiers quickly threw away their weapons and turned to flee.
The surging flow of people rushed back and fled, and behind him, Li Xiaojun's cavalry and infantry pursued and killed together.
Ren Guangyuan, the captain of the family, saw that the general trend had gone, and his heart was full of anger.
He had no choice but to give the order, and all the cavalry turned around and retreated to protect the already panicked garrison King Dodge.
On the opposite side, seeing that the whole army was taking advantage of the victory to pursue, Li Xiao himself also rushed to catch up.
Stepping on the snow and galloping, Li Xiao quickly caught up with the retreating enemy cavalry.
He really looked at it, the snatching bow in his hand was wound, and with a sigh, a white light flashed, and a fierce three-edged steel arrow caught up with Ren Guangyuan, who was fleeing behind, and shot from the back of his neck.
The fierce arrow came out from the throat of Ren Guangyuan, the captain of the family, with a gushing blood mist.
Ren Guangyuan subconsciously wanted to pull out the arrow at his throat, but his hand was halfway up, but he shook it, and fell from the horse upside down, and then did not move.
Immediately, countless chaotic hooves of horses trampled over him, trampling him into a flattened pulp.
As soon as the cavalry captain died, the remaining cavalry immediately fell into disarray.
Taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy army, the cavalry of Li Xiao's army, which had caught up, slashed and killed the enemy cavalry that was surrounded, except for a very small number of cavalry who took advantage of the chaos to escape, most of the enemy cavalry were killed, and more than 20 cavalry abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
Zhou Qi was cut off his left hand by a flying harrier, he screamed and fell off the horse, just as he was rolling on the snow, a horse's hoof stepped over his head, like stepping on a watermelon, stomping on his head, pink brains burst out in all directions.
Li Xiao ordered that the battalion soldiers should no longer be pursued, and they should be scattered and fled.
These soldiers who were forced to come to the Zhongtun Institute to participate in the war, many faces, Li Xiao seemed to have seen them when he was in the Zhongtun Institute in the past, these people who had cheered him back from cutting off the head of the Tartar that day, Li Xiao had pity and intended to let them live.
Now all the enemy cavalry is dead, those who have fled, and the rest have surrendered. At this time, there were only two people who were surrounded by Li Xiaojun's ring.
That is the garrison king Dodge and the deputy captain of the family, Hua Ji.
A crack suddenly opened in the annular encirclement, and Li Xiao rode a snow-stepping BMW and slowly paced in with an expressionless face.
Hua Ji was the first to react, he rolled off the horse, stepped forward on his knees, knelt in front of Li Xiaoma, kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Li Qianhu, don't kill me! , It was the garrison king Dodge that day, forcing me to harm the total adult, begging the total adult to let go of the small one. ”
Hua Ji pleaded loudly, his handsome face stained like a clown by the slush on the ground.
"Phew! Huaji, we still think you are a good person, but I didn't expect that you secretly took refuge in Wang Daoqi's house, first harmed the boss, and now you are here to try to wait for me! Is your conscience really eaten by dogs? Tian Wei shouted angrily.
"That's it, you guy, you have always been so vicious to the bosses, I want to rip out your heart and liver now, and see how black your heart and liver are bastard!" Wang Yishou shouted angrily on the side.
Seeing everyone talking like this, Hua Ji's face was even more frightened, he stepped forward again, hugged the horse's legs, and begged loudly: "Li Qianhu, I was also deceived by that king Dodge at that time, so I was confused and blinded, and I did such a wrong thing, as long as you spare your life, you will definitely change your mind and face in the next place, and you will never 。。。。。。 again ”
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiao, who had a look of disgust, already glanced at Mo Changrong, who was gritting his teeth on the side.
Mo Changrong snorted coldly, strode forward, twisted Hua Ji's head, and slashed the head knife in his hand, and blood immediately gushed out like a fountain at Hua Ji's throat.
Hua Jiyuan opened his eyes, made a strange hehe sound in his mouth, fell to the ground silently, and after a few convulsions, he didn't move.
Li Xiao seemed to turn a blind eye to this bloody scene, he took a few steps forward, and said lightly to Wang Daoqi, who had been closing his eyes, shrinking his head, and sitting on the horse as if he was in a fixed position: "Wang Shoubei, you are so calculating Li, but it is such an ending, isn't it a pity." ”
Wang Daoqi opened his eyes suddenly, as if he had just woken up from a dream, he looked at Li Xiao coldly, and suddenly said loudly: "Li Xiao, you don't make fun of this official!" This official is unlucky, and he falls into the hands of you, and he wants to kill or chop, so listen to him! ”
Li Xiao sneered: "Yo ho, I didn't expect Wang Shoubei to speak quite backbone." ”
Wang Daoqi snorted coldly, but his eyes were full of resentment: "Li Xiao, you have to think clearly!" If you kill this official, you will completely offend the Wang family of the first wealthy family in Jinzhou City. In addition, this official told you that if you do this, you will also completely offend those Liaodong generals, and in the future, you will say that you want to live in Jinzhou, and you are afraid that it will be difficult. ”
A trace of hideousness flashed on Li Xiao's face, and his words were as cold as iron: "Wang Daoqi, since Lao Tzu has done it, he has never thought of leaving a way back for himself!" What if you don't stay in Jinzhou, the world is so big, where is not the place where I Li Xiao can go! Today, I will avenge the brothers of the high-ranking generals and sentry cavalry who died that day! ”
After Li Xiao finished speaking, the tiger knife in his hand swept quickly, a whistling cold light flashed, and Wang Daoqi's head, with a column of spurting blood, sprang up from his neck, rolled twice in the air, and fell to the ground.
At this time, Na Mo Changrong also immediately swung his knife, cut off Hua Ji's head on the ground, and then handed Wang Daoqi and Hua Ji's two blood-drenched heads to Li Xiao together.
Li Xiao held two heads in his hands, raised them high, facing south, and shouted: "General Gao, brothers of the sentry cavalry, I, Li Xiao, have avenged you!" ”
The whole army bowed their heads, there was silence, and Li Xiao's eyes flashed.
The wind and snow roared wildly, like a silent cry.
Immediately, Li Xiao's whole army seized the time to clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, Li Xiao's whole army killed more than 60 battalion soldiers and more than 50 cavalry, because they did not capture the battalion soldiers and let them escape, only 26 enemy cavalry were captured.
After this battle, Li Xiao's entire army only sacrificed 1 Xuanhu heavy horseman, 2 were seriously injured, and 4 were lightly wounded. The Flying Harrier lost 2 people, seriously injured 3 people, and slightly injured 5 people. In addition, the shield men lost 2 people, 3 seriously wounded and 5 lightly wounded, and the spearmen lost 5 people, 6 seriously wounded and 8 lightly wounded.
This casualty is insignificant compared to Li Xiao's major achievements.
Wang Daoqi wanted to rely on numerical superiority to fight with elite soldiers like Li Xiao, but the result was such a fiasco.
The trophies were captured: 65 pieces of cotton armor, mainly stripped from the dead cavalry, plus the cotton armor stripped from the swordsmen just now, a total of 172 pieces of cotton armor were obtained in this battle.
And because most of the soldiers who died in the war did not wear armor, they only stripped more than 30 worn-out mandarin duck battle jackets.
In addition, he obtained 55 healthy horses, 20 riding spears, 32 riding knives, and hundreds of swords, bows and arrows.
Li Xiao immediately ordered to divide the land and sea routes, bring the corpses and war goods of the sacrificed soldiers, and return to the pier of no return.
The people spared their lives and let them flee with empty carts.
Li Xiao personally sat on the No. 2 lucky boat and wanted to direct the ship to the shore along the coast of the pier of no return.
At this time, the leader of the No. 2 Fu ship, with his head down, was escorted out of the cabin by the spearman sentry commander Duan Shidi with several spearmen.
It's just that when the leader raised his head and looked at Li Xiao, both of them exclaimed: "It turned out to be you!" ”
