Chapter 512: The Jedi Strikes Back

The fighting had stopped, and the mournful wails, angry roars, and sonorous swords of the swords still echoed in the ears of the survivors, and the valley was littered with corpses and blood.

Li Huaitang lay down under a boulder and panted like a prostration, the fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, overdrawing his physical strength, the most troublesome thing was that in the brave rush, he was stabbed more than a dozen times, fortunately the cotton armor blocked most of it for him, but the arms and big 'legs' were still scratched, the wounds were quite deep, the sleeves and 'pants' and 'legs' were dyed red 'color', the cotton armor on his body was tattered and broken, and the iron pieces embedded in it 'exposed' a rusty face.

The more than 100 surviving soldiers, all of them wounded, sat around, or lay down, bandaged their wounds, or drank water, but no one made a sound, as if they were unwilling to 'waste' even the slightest bit of strength.

Li Huaitang understood the feelings of the soldiers, and the tragic battle took away the lives of many of their siblings who got along day and night, and shared weal and pain.

On the battlefield, thousands of corpses were 'intertwined' and lodging, among which more than 100 were the remains of Ningyuan's iron cavalry soldiers, because the enemy was still eyeing them, and it was too late to clear them out and bury them.

More than half of the 300 cavalry under Li Huaitang's command were lost in battle, and Hu cavalry was also not pleased, killing nearly 1,000 people and wounding thousands, which greatly damaged morale and lost the ability to continue the offensive in a short time.

The fierce battle stopped because the night was falling, and both sides retreated, licking their wounds and waiting for the final decisive battle.

Tie Niu took a sip of water and broke the silence: "I thought that my Tie Niu was enough for a cow, and I could cut off ten heads in a war, so I could marry five wives and concubines, but I didn't expect the general to be worthy of my ten iron bulls, and kill a hundred people in one battle, it seems that beauties have to marry enough fifty!" ”

Talking about the marriage of beauties, the soldiers suddenly came to the momentum and laughed.

Li Huaitang was drinking water, choked on a mouthful of water when he heard the words, and coughed again and again: "Ahem, in, in, reason, cough, it's so fucking reasonable!" ”

"I said that you can pull the iron bull, the emperor's harem in Chang'an is 3,000, can he cut 30,000 in a battle?" Zhang Qiu joined the ridicule.

"Cut, the old emperor is occupying the pit and not, he doesn't care about the rampant Hu cavalry in the territory, 'milk' and 'milk', the wolf smoke has risen for almost two hours, and his soldiers don't even have a figure! In my opinion, it is better to let our general be the emperor, keep the Hu people in the world obedient, and all the countries will come to court. I don't know when Tie Niu's thinking began to change, and the image of the Tang Emperor who was high and could not be blasphemed quietly faded and weakened in his heart, and he actually advocated rebellious remarks in public.

Li Huaitang stopped Tie Niu's unintentional words, his eyes turned to the three piles of dried wolf dung that were still smoking more than ten steps away, and he was a little 'confused' and 'confused' in his heart, according to the defenders of the 'jade' and 'gate' gates, they must have received a report from the rangers, the meaning of the three wolf smoke is special, and the soldiers all understand it, which ordinary person is full of food and supports the wolf smoke in the wild? It will not rise as many as three for no reason, and the appearance of three wolf smoke means that the situation is urgent, which is equivalent to the SOS call for help signal in later generations.

From the 'jade' and 'gate' to here, the distance of an hour is fast, and if the guards send troops, the time is almost up. However, there was no movement on the ground, indicating that there were no large number of iron horsemen running more than ten miles away. What made Li Huaitang even more puzzled was that Hu Qi was very calm, resting far away at the mouth of the valley at the two ends, and only sent dozens of horsemen to wander nearby to monitor him, not caring about the wolf smoke in the sky at all, and seemed to know that the Tang army would not come, at least not in a short time.

"Really?" Li Huaitang felt a little more ominous in his heart, it is very likely that he met Judas! The keeper of the 'jade' and 'gate' pass is Judas, and he sold himself in collusion with Hu Qi! Thinking of the appearance of the guards, and then thinking of the abnormality of An Yuanzhen who went to the Wild Wolf Valley and returned, he was sure of his speculation.

"Prepare for war, guard against enemy night attacks!" Li Huaitang's order reached the ears of all the soldiers in the night.

If the Tang army does not come today, then it will inevitably arrive tomorrow, and in order to 'deliver' the errand, the guards will still do enough superficial work. So, tonight is the last chance for the enemy.

Will the sun still shine tomorrow? Li Huaitang smiled bitterly, and suddenly, the smiles of Su Zizi, Pei Ruoxi, Ye Ji and other beauties flashed from his mind.

No! Gotta Live! In order for the beauties not to shed tears, for the sake of Ningyuan's tens of millions of soldiers and civilians, the enemy must be defeated!

Li Huaitang clenched his fists and secretly swore that a high fighting spirit drilled into his body and defeated the pain.

"Stone Formation!"

Li Huaitang led by example, gritting his teeth and moving stones on the hillside, arranging a 'chaotic' rocky beach within a distance of more than ten steps in front of him. The experience gained from actual combat is that as long as the attacking side steps on the 'chaotic' and messy surface, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced with the shaking figure. In today's battle, Li Huaitang has already made the enemy taste the bitterness and took advantage of a lot.

To survive, in addition to strength, you also need to use your brains to increase allies for yourself and create trouble for the enemy.

After the 'chaotic' rocky beach, Li Huaitang led 100 soldiers to meet the enemy, and the remaining seriously wounded soldiers were equipped with crossbows in the rear, trying to occupy the commanding heights and supporting the front with crossbow arrows.

Li Huaitang's judgment was correct, at midnight, the enemy 'touched' from the thick night.

The night is the natural enemy of most Hu people, because of the lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet, most of the Hu people have night blindness, and they cannot see objects clearly in the dark night. However, Hu Ren's brain did not grow in vain after all, and Yiji thought of a countermeasure. He chose a few generals with good eyesight to take the lead, and then selected a thousand soldiers, led the rope from behind, and then lit a torch to kill the target, so that the effect of the surprise attack would not be reduced much.

People are not as good as heaven, and Izis's strategy has met the nemesis of the hound.

As soon as Ijibei led the team to 'touch' a distance of more than 100 steps, the barking of dogs on the hillside broke out.

Yi Jibei was very calculating, and saw that Li Huaitang was exhausted and more than half of the battle was damaged, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to pick peaches. He was a nobleman, he had a lot of money, and he could eat tea as a meal, so his eyes were not short of nutrition, and the night was not an obstacle for him, and when he was only a hundred steps away from victory, his good dreams were broken by evil dogs.

"Damn the Han dog! Quick, light the torch, charge! "Izpe blames the Hound for the sin of early exposure.

There was a flurry, dozens of torches were lit, and the sneak attack turned into a strong attack.

It can be said that Li Huaitang was waiting for them, and the hounds immediately entered a state of imminent battle. Li Huaitang was at the forefront, and there were thirty soldiers in a row with him, kneeling on one knee on the ground, with a horn bow in their hands, and several feather arrows were 'inserted' on the ground beside each of them, which were easy to use.

The light became the best target for the archers, and within a hundred paces, the general's soldiers and arrows were not missing. The pain may affect the accuracy, but the number of enemies is so large that the crowd in front of the hillside is too dense, and most of the archers will not miss the target as long as they fire their arrows in the general direction.

The distance of a hundred paces had become a nightmare for Izpe, and by the time he had crossed the effective range of his bow and arrows, he had already received three rounds of sharp arrows.

However, within a dozen paces of approaching Ning Yuan's iron cavalry, he stepped on a stone and fell down, and many soldiers who followed him also followed in his footsteps, rushing forward and falling on the 'chaotic' rocky beach, 'chaotic' into a mess.

The first enemy soldier to fall in front of Li Huaitang was the result of crossbow arrows, and on the hillside, on a boulder, three crossbowmen knelt and released arrows as fast as they could, in order to relieve the pressure on the robe.

Finally, an enemy soldier killed Li Huaitang, and at this time, the weapon in Li Huaitang's hand had been replaced by a Tang knife. Ning Yuan Iron Riding One Man and Two Horses, the same One Riding Two Swords, in the 'fierce' battle, it is common to break one or two weapons, one more weapon is equal to one more combat effectiveness, Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry is strong because of all aspects.

Victory favors only those who are prepared. Li Huaitang's first victory was easy, the enemy seemed to have stumbled over something, staggered and pounced on his knife, Tang knife only lightly pulled, and the enemy soldier screamed and fell to the ground.

Cheap does not last, the enemy exchanged dozens of lives for lessons, they are no longer reckless, but cautiously approach.

The battle entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, and it was fierce and brutal. The sound of blades clashing, breaking, screaming, sounding in my ears. With every breath, someone fell, corpses accumulated, and blood flowed.

The 31 soldiers of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry stood on the defensive line in the posture of mourning soldiers, resisting the impact of the enemy, some were seriously wounded or killed in battle, and the soldiers in the back row did not hesitate to make up for it, always maintaining the integrity of the formation, and not giving an inch.

Li Huaitang slashed and killed two enemy soldiers, and the third one he encountered was an enemy general, which was quite tricky. The enemy general's weapon was a Han sword, and he was also covered with cotton armor, which was obviously obtained from the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry soldiers who died in battle.

With great difficulty, Izpe was lifted up from the rocky beach, and he did not have to accept the greetings of countless big feet behind him until he was dying, like other soldiers who had fallen to the ground. Annoyed and angry, he tried to vent his anger on his opponent's body, however, it backfired, although he held an invincible Han knife, but two consecutive slashes could not cut the opponent's weapon head-on, the opponent's combat experience was extremely difficult, and a light sweep dissolved his crazy knife momentum invisibly.

A fool thinks a thousand times, and he will get one. Izpe, who was not always brave and unscrupulous, saw that the situation was not right, took a half step back, grabbed a soldier and pushed him towards his opponent.

Shameless! Li Huaitang cursed secretly in his heart, but he had to slash at the enemy soldiers who collided with him, and quickly swung his backhand to meet the enemy general's attack of taking advantage of the fire to rob.

"Bang dang!" With a sonorous sound, Iji smiled cruelly, his 'yin' plan succeeded, the opponent's weapon was cut by him, and the sharp Han knife slashed down and cut into the opponent's shoulder......

Li Huaitang felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, the cotton armor that was protecting it had fallen off a piece in the previous battle, and his defense was weakened, and the blade of the Han knife cut through the single layer of cotton armor, leaving a wound on his thick trapezius muscles.

Cotton armor was bullied and seemed to be quite unhappy, and firmly bit Izpei's Han knife, making his pull in vain.

"Bang!"

Li Huaitang kicked hard, and Yi Jibei flew upside down and drifted, colliding with the soldiers behind him, and fell to the ground horizontally.

Taking advantage of the vacancy, Li Huaitang pulled out the Han knife stuck on the cotton armor, and just happened to stab a spear and stabbed him in the lower abdomen.

I saw the light of the knife flash, the spear broke in two, and the tip of the spear weakly touched the cotton armor and then fell. Li Huaitang grabbed the shaft of the spear that was accustomed to rushing forward, pulled the enemy soldier over, clasped his Adam's apple with his fingers, pinched it hard, and then reversed it to use it as a 'meat' shield.

In the firelight, Li Huaitang used a sword in his left hand and a human shield in his right hand, roared wildly and bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, cutting off three heads one after another, and at the end of his life, he also used the 'meat' shield in his hand as a stone, throwing it into the dense enemy, and smashing down a piece. Izpe finally recognized the strength of his opponent, and the pain in his lower abdomen and the blood in his mouth, as well as the several headless corpses lying at his opponent's feet, clearly told him this. At the same time, he has a strong hunch that this opponent is Li Huaitang!

Yi Jibei spat out a mouthful of blood, stood up with the support of his own soldiers, pointed at Li Huaitang and roared: "Kill him!" ”

Yi Jibei's order caused a sudden increase in the number of enemies in front of Li Huaitang, and the two soldiers standing beside Li Huaitang also came under strong pressure. Li Huaitang bravely ignored the pain, and grabbed one of the enemy's scimitars with his right hand at some point, and swung his two knives, killing the corpse within two steps ahead.

"Be careful!" The Iron Bull scurried to Li Huaitang's side, filling the hole that had appeared due to a soldier who had been seriously injured and fell to the ground, and he had just cut off a spear that was stabbing at Li Huaitang.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Qiu also stood on the other side of Li Huaitang. The battlefield is really cruel, and people fall at any time, especially the positions on both sides of Li Huaitang are the most dangerous, even if there is a Han sword and cotton armor, it will not be spared.

Li Huaitang felt that he had exceeded the critical point of the limit of physical strength, he didn't know what fatigue was, the more the double knife slashed, the more ruthless, the more and more the results of the battle, the same way, the knives and guns on his body were proportional to the results, the cotton armor was scarred and tattered, and the first layer of inlaid iron pieces all fell out.

Zhang Qiu was worried that the general would make a mistake, and while fighting hard, he persuaded him: "The general will retreat and rest first, and leave some results for us!" ”

Words can be easily expressed, but there is no escaping substance. The essence is a bloody war, blood for blood, life for life. This is a pro-soldier, a person who dares to die, regardless of the reason, when the Lord will be threatened by his life, he will go to the soup and see death as if he were at home, and the Lord will die first.

Li Huaitang replied with a more ruthless killing, he knew that he couldn't stop, and once he stopped the fatigue attack, his strength would be gone.

The courage of the main general 'excited' the soldiers of the general's cavalry, and they fought hard, causing a large number of casualties to the enemy.

However, despite the 'sophisticated' equipment, despite the strong combat power, and despite the common hatred of the enemy, after all, it could not change the fact that they were inferior in numbers, and the defense line finally could not withstand the madness of the enemy and began to waver.

The situation is becoming more and more favorable to Yizibei, seeing that the stalemate is about to be broken, he is extremely excited, and he vows to cut off Li Huaitang's head with his own hands to avenge his hatred, Li Huaitang's "flying 'hair' and 'legs'" are likely to make him lose his most important function.

Perhaps it is a commentary on the mountain and heavy water, and the willow dark 'flower' is another village, and at the last moment, there was an earth-shattering sound of fighting at the east entrance of the valley, and the horn of the bull horn echoed in the valley.

Listening to the ears of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry soldiers, the rhythm of the horn is so familiar and so 'exciting'. Three short, one long and three short, the unique charge of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry!

The Hu people looked back in disbelief, and Li Huaitang took the opportunity to shout: Reinforcements are coming!

For the generals and soldiers on horseback, the horn is undoubtedly a stimulant and a multiplier of morale and combat effectiveness. Under the leadership of Li Huaitang, the soldiers fought back brazenly.

The battle situation changed as soon as it was said, and the soldiers on the general's cavalry stepped on the corpses and marched forward. The enemy's transition from retreating to turning and dispersing was so incredible, but it happened inexplicably......
