Chapter 185: The Battle of Jiugao Mountain (3)

"Brothers, don't panic, now the main force of the Ming army has appeared, but there are only more than 10,000 people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info And the strength of our army is five times that of it, and on the other side of the Yishui River, there are 50,000 reserve troops, so why be afraid! Gao Yingxiang shouted loudly.

After Gao Ying finished speaking, there were immediately tens of thousands of angry shouts below, like a deafening thunder rolling through.

"Brothers, the whole army is attacking, as long as they are strangled with Ming Gouzi, their earth-shaking thunder will be useless!" Gao Yingxiang pulled out his waist knife and shouted loudly.

"Whoever kills the head of the Ming Dog on the opposite side will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver! If you kill their generals, the reward will be doubled! Gao Yingxiang, who was furious, gritted his teeth and made a bloody promise.

The 50,000 Liukou infantry let out a thunderous cry in unison. It was like a dark cloud in the sky being blown by a strong wind, and it quickly swept towards the Ming army on the opposite side with a wild rush of momentum.

As if calculated, when all 50,000 rogues were running and attacking, 100 trebuchets lined up halfway up the Jiugao Mountain creaked out of the bushes.

"! The Ming army that entered the dog left a back hand! ā€

Looking at these trebuchets that have only been pushed out now, Gao Yingxiang gritted his teeth.

Now that the whole army has been overwhelmingly attacking, it is impossible to send orders for them to retreat, Gao Yingxiang can only hope that his own rogue team can be strangled with the Ming army on the opposite side as soon as possible, so that the Ming army can not throw earth-shattering thunder.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

When the rogues ran to about 400 steps from the opposite side, the trebuchet winch, which was pressed to the extreme, made a soft sound, and a hundred 80-pound huge black earth-shattering thunderbolts were violently bounced up by the long throwing rod and thrown into the air with a roar.

"The earth-shattering thunder is coming! Spread out! ā€

Looking at the hundred black dots that were whistling in, as they became bigger and bigger in the air, the rogue soldiers who were at the location of the earth-shaking thunder were screaming in horror.

Rao was a precautionary measure, but the number of rogues attacking was so large that it was quite difficult for them to escape from the dense flow of people.

These rogue soldiers who rushed left and right and fled in panic disrupted the formation of the rogue attack a lot.

Seven or eight seconds later, a hundred earth-shattering thunderbolts roared and smashed to the ground, even smashing dozens of rogue soldiers who had no time to dodge into meat pies.

The sound of violent explosions immediately rang out continuously, and in the dazzling flames and choking gunsmoke, the gushing waves of air blew up the rogue soldiers in a wide range of about 20 meters near this earth-shattering thunder, and blood rained down.

At least nearly 90 Heaven-Shaking Thunderbolts successfully exploded, sending more than 5,000 rogue soldiers to hell in an instant.

And more rogue soldiers suddenly found that they seemed to have come to a silent world. Only the ears, eyes, and nostrils that were bleeding from the shock seemed to remind me of how terrible the explosion had just been.

After a brief moment, the Rogue Battle Array immediately fell into chaos.

Many people wept and fled backwards, trying to escape from this terrible place of death. The remnants of the cavalry behind them immediately slashed and slaughtered them.

"Don't run away! If you flee at this time, all your efforts will be wasted! Gao Yingxiang was furious, and he personally swung his knife into battle, slashing and killing the crying and fleeing rogues.

However, after all, these rogue soldiers were the elite of Gao Yingxiang's subordinates, and after experiencing a short period of chaos, they stopped their collapse and immediately began to attack again.

When Liukou was still about 300 steps away from the Ming army's battle array, the second round of earth-shattering thunder roared again.

This time, the rogue who had suffered a big loss knew how to spread the formation more and more to both ends, and dodged in advance, and the 100 earth-shattering thunders exploded about 80 times, but only caused the death of more than 2,000 rogue soldiers.

These battle-hardened rogue soldiers, after experiencing a little chaos, continued to rush forward.

When it was only more than 200 steps away from the battle formation of the Ming army, the trebuchet dropped the earth-shaking thunder for the last time.

This time, because of the speed of the enemy's running and advancement, there were more than 30 earth-shattering thunderbolts that deviated due to inaccurate ranging, and less than 60 of them actually exploded in the Liukou array, causing a total of only more than 1,000 casualties among the Liukou soldiers.

"Well done! The trebuchet of the Ming dog can no longer throw the thunder that shocks the sky, and immediately crushes those Ming army battle arrays! Seeing that his soldiers were getting closer and closer to the Ming army, Gao Yingxiang's face was full of excitement.

The remaining more than 40,000 rogues saw that the Ming army lined up on the opposite side was already in front of them, so they began to shrink the formation while rushing towards the Ming army's gun and shield battle arrays lined up.

When the rogue rushed to a hundred paces, the 50-pole Lu Mi gun above the big shield was fired densely.

More than 40 buckshot bullets weighing three coins screamed out, killing more than 20 rogues on the opposite side.

When the enemy rushed to fifty paces, the Lumi gun rang out again, and more than twenty rogues fell to the ground with casualties. At this time, Lu Mi's men quickly withdrew from their positions, leaving only the guns and shields to fight in battle.

The two sides quickly strangled together.

On one side, there were two rows of spiked shields, standing side by side, struggling to block the wanton onslaught of the rogue army. And above the big shield, a 4-meter stainless steel spear, like a long-dormant poisonous dragon, quickly pierced out from above the big shield, and stabbed at the head, neck, and **** of the rogue who rushed over.

The rogue soldiers who rushed over carefully avoided the spikes on their shields and slammed the spears that trembled like dragons with their shields, while waving their swords in counterattack.

In the brutal hand-to-hand combat, the sound of weapons slashing, screaming of struggle, the roar of injury, and the dull pop of swords piercing into the human body overlapped in one place, like a ballad of death.

From time to time, people on both sides fell, but as soon as the soldiers in front fell, new soldiers quickly came to fill the gaps.

Under Li Xiaojun's row of big shields, he immediately began to pile up layers of rogue corpses.

Li Xiaojun's Tielong Battalion General Deputy Chief, the former Zhang Xianzhong General Feng Shuangli, personally went into battle to kill, he was superb in martial arts, holding a four-meter spear, dancing like a pear blossom, only in an instant, three or four rogue soldiers died under his gun.

The soldiers around him, seeing that the winner will be so brave, everyone is working hard to move forward, and their morale is greatly boosted.

Li Xiao saw that in the short period of hand-to-hand combat, the well-equipped Ming army, like a killing machine, had a battle to death ratio of nearly 5 to 1 with the rogue on the opposite side, that is to say, the average death of the rogue was 5 people in exchange for the life of a spearman or shield soldier of Li Xiao's army.

This casualty ratio, in the eyes of Zu Dale, who was watching the battle together, was really considerable, but Li Xiao was not satisfied.

Coupled with the enemy troops on the other side who had not yet crossed the river, there were nearly 100,000 Liukou, and even if they could continue to fight in this exchange, their own losses would be quite large, which was not the result that Li Xiao hoped to see.

Soon, 600 people from both sides of the sentry line, together with 3,000 infantry from the Zuda Music Division, began to attack the two flanks of the Liukou battle array.

The 3,000 infantry of the Zuda Music Department fought inextricably with the rogue soldiers on the right. And Li Xiaojun's rampant sentry, this heavy infantry team composed of Li Xiaojun's most elite soldiers, was like a mecha tiger that jumped into the wolves, and immediately began a bloody and efficient killing.

In the rampant sentry, the tiger spears, tiger knives, long-handled knives, and thick-backed military sickles in everyone's hands flew up and down, slashing non-stop, the knife was directed, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, killing the rogue in horror and wailing.

Ilgen Kyoro. Chatta, the warrior of the fifth team of the rampant sentry, quickly swung the tiger knife and cut off the head of a rogue, he felt that the bloodthirsty desire and beastly nature that had been hidden in his heart for a long time seemed to have completely exploded at this moment.

He let out a roar that was not like a human voice, rushed forward, and slashed at all the people around him who were different from his own soldiers' clothes, the tiger knife that was already drenched in blood, slashed in all directions, slashed left and right, and the surrounding rogue soldiers suddenly screamed and died under his knife one after another.

"Dog-inned Tartar, well done!" Pang Yuan, the commander of the rampant sentry who was fighting non-stop, caught a glimpse of such a brave Chata and extended a thumbs up to him from a distance to show his praise.

Chata laughed, wiped the blood from his face, and slashed at the rogue soldiers around him.

Under Li Xiaojun's three-sided attack, the speed of Liukou's casualties was greatly accelerated, from the initial 5 to 1 exchange ratio, gradually changed to 6 to 1, and even 7 to 1, 8 to 1!

Gao Yingxiang's face became more and more ugly, and his lips began to tremble slightly.

What to do?

Do you still want to fight hard with the Ming army like this?

Gao Yingxiang's face was pale, and his mind was in chaos.

And as the Liukou formation was continuously squeezed, the Liukou battle formation slowly changed from a flat rectangle at the beginning to a semicircle that became thicker and thicker in the middle.

After the formation of the Liukou formation became thicker, Gao Yingxiang was surprised to see that in the Ming army opposite, those auxiliaries who had originally operated trebuchets began to run down from the waist of the mountain one after another, and came to the one-word gun and shield battle formation of Li Xiaojun.

They were in pairs, one with a burning rope on his body, and the other with a large box in his hand, which contained a bunch of hand-throwing thunderbolts.

The hand-thrown earth-shaking thunder is an improved version of Li Xiao's original 12-pound standard individual sky-shaking thunder.

The total weight of this earth-shattering thunder was reduced to 10 catties, and a wooden handle was installed on the iron shell so that the auxiliaries could throw it farther.

This kind of sky-shaking thunder is quite similar to modern grenades, but modern hand grenades use the method of pulling the primer, and Li Xiao's sky-shaking thunder can only use a more primitive way of igniting the fire rope lead.

Now, because the enemy's formation has changed, the thickness has become larger, so that the auxiliaries can throw earth-shattering thunderbolts into the distance and bombard the enemy soldiers, but they don't have to worry about accidentally injuring themselves because of the distance.

A total of 600 earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown towards the far end of the Liukou battle array.

The sound of explosions continued to rise, and in the rear of the rogue battle array, the dazzling bright yellow fire appeared in the dense white smoke, and in the deafening explosion, groups of rogue soldiers who could not dodge were blown over.

The auxiliaries threw several times, and more than 5,000 people were killed in an instant, and the battle array of the rogues was chaotic.

However, these rogues deserve to be the elite soldiers of the long-term war, and after a short period of confusion, they re-raised the battle formation into a flat rectangle, so that Li Xiaojun's auxiliaries lost the opportunity to continue to drop bombs.

It's just that at this point in the battle, the rogue soldiers who have been attacked by the enemy and have been chaotic many times are also on the verge of collapse, and everyone is gritting their teeth to avoid a complete rout.

When the auxiliaries were throwing bombs wantonly, they had been lurking on the left side without moving, and the cavalry formation of more than 3,000 people formed by Li Xiaobu and Zu Dale began to rush towards the more than 1,000 rogue cavalry in the camp under the leadership of Li Dingguo, deputy commander of the Chifeng Battalion.

Li Dingguo took the lead, his sharp gaze stared straight at the person opposite, that is, among those cavalry, the chief of the Liukou with the most gorgeous armor and the tallest war horse, Gao Yingshen!

Gao Yingxiang saw the cavalry of the Ming army billowing in smoke and dust, and immediately panicked.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Gao Yingxiang pulled the horse's head, turned around and fled towards the pontoon bridge behind.

"Enemy general, where to escape!"

Li Dingguo shouted, he took the lead, shouted, took out his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow from a distance, right in the middle of Yingxiang's mount.

The mount let out a mournful roar, raised its front hooves high, and then collapsed.

In the chaos, Gao Yingxiang couldn't draw his leg and was crushed under the horse, and his leg bone was immediately crushed.

Screaming loudly in pain, he struggled to get out from under his wounded horse, but couldn't.

"King!" Several cavalrymen jumped off their horses with a wail, and pulled Gao Yingxiang out from under the horses with all their might.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang was so painful that he almost fainted.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he quickly saw that more than 50,000 rogues and another 4,000 cavalry on the other side were turning around and fleeing one after another.

"Fuck, the danger is true, Huang Boy, I took you in that day, but you didn't act righteously, and took the lead in escaping with soldiers and horses, it's really better to be a pig and a dog!" Seeing the rogue battle array rolling away on the other side, Gao Yingxiang gritted his teeth and scolded Li Zicheng.

As he was being lifted up by his men again, and was trembling to get on a new horse, another sharp arrow struck him.

This ferocious three-edged steel arrow, with a whistling cold light, shot in from his waist, pierced through his belly, and penetrated through the edge of his armor.

Gao Yingxiang shouted, fell down from the horse, and he held the protruding arrow with one hand tremblingly, and he no longer had the strength to stand up.

Several personal cavalrymen next to them immediately panicked.

About seventy or eighty paces away, Erbi Lun had a solemn expression on his face, and while riding forward, he quickly retracted his bow and pocketed it.

"! Tartar's fucking archery is really good. Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry Sentinel Bao Zhao slammed a fist and re-grasped the shoulder of the cavalry spear, while shouting: "Brothers, rush up with me!" Don't let the thieves escape! ā€

The cavalry of the Ming army let out a loud shout in unison, slammed the horse's belly more and more, and accelerated the impact away.

Almost instantly, more than 3,000 Ming cavalry who rushed over were killed together with more than 700 Liukou cavalry who had not yet crossed the river.

Li Dingguo, who took the lead, had his ape arms lightly, and he picked up Gao Yingxiang, who was moaning on the ground, from the ground, and then rested on his horse.

Gao Yingxiang, who was resting on horseback, suddenly felt like a dog that had been caught, and an endless sense of shame surged in his heart.

At this moment, Gao Yingxiang was extremely eager for death.

It's just that with a broken leg bone and a shot through his abdomen, it was difficult for him to even move, and if he wanted to die, he couldn't do it at all.

"You wait for the master to be captured, why don't you descend quickly! Those who descend will not die! Li Dingguo shouted.

"Hurry down!"

"Hurry down!"

"Hurry down!"

怂怂怂怂怂怂

A group of Ming cavalry shouted like thunder, and the more than 700 cavalrymen who were surrounded were frightened and knelt down and surrendered.

Hearing the farewell sound from the Ming cavalry behind, the front was on the verge of collapse, and the rogue infantry, who were just dying and struggling, could no longer hold on, and abandoned their swords one after another, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

In total, nearly 30,000 rogue infantry surrendered, and Wu Yang fell to his knees, unable to see the end at a glance.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Kill the rogue and get fame!"

"Kill the thieves, go to heaven!"

怂怂怂怂怂怂

All Li Xiaojun cheered in unison, like spring thunder, impacting the cold and bleak vast world.

Li Xiao ordered the infantry to guard the prisoners, and all the cavalry, including his own guards, to run across the pontoon bridge in three ways to pursue the remnants of the fleeing Liukou.

Li Xiao demanded that even if he could not catch up with the fleeing rogue cavalry, he should pursue or capture the rogue infantry as much as possible.

More than 3,000 cavalry of the Ming army, after receiving the order, immediately rushed across the pontoon bridge like a gallop. Li Xiao's guards, also under the leadership of Li Haoran, rushed across the river like arrows.

Gao Yingxiang, the dying leader of the Liukou, was held under Li Dingguo's arm and dragged in front of Li Xiao.

At this time, the captured personnel had already told Li Xiao that the general who was dragged over by Li Xiao was the co-leader of the Liukou and the general leader of the more than 200,000 Liukou who invaded Henan this time, Gao Yingxiang.

"Gao Yingxiang, you have now been captured by our army, what else can you say?" Li Xiao looked serious and said coldly.
