Chapter 3 Troubled Times Descend Section 69 Defend the homeland

The horn sounded suddenly, and in an instant, the cavalry that was attacking in front of Li Ao's formation receded like a tide, and the divided cavalry also began to get rid of the entanglement and scattered to break through outside.

If the cavalry is bent on running, the infantry will never be able to surround it, especially if the infantry is insufficient. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Li Ao ordered loudly: "Open the formation and let them go." ”

After a short battle, the confrontation between the two armies was restored in front of Feiru City. The difference was that the Xianbei cavalry gathered more and more, and Li Ao's soldiers, who were too seriously injured to support them, collapsed in the queue from time to time and fell into a coma - including Niman.

In the enemy array, several large banners moved to the front of the formation, which was the large banner of the tribal chieftain, and several tribal chiefs who participated in the battle were ready to go to the front to observe.

A banner embroidered with a white wolf's head was also mixed in and moved towards the front of the formation. Li Ao looked up, was furious, came out of the formation, and shouted: "Tuli (meaning saddle) of the white wolf tribe, have your tribes also come to plunder?" Your tribe promised to guard the white wolf pile for us last year, and for this reason, we sent you grain, grass and things in winter, and these grains, grasses and food were saved from our mouths, and you are the descendants of wolves on the grassland, does your promise not count? ”

Tuli rode out and replied in a loud voice: "Our ancestors taught us not to make promises lightly to men—but to our enemies we can make promises as we please; Our ancestors taught us to keep the promises we make—but we can not keep the promises we make to our enemies.

The gods of our ancestors have told us in the night: You are our enemies. So, here we are, we see it, and we're going to attack you. ”

Tuli's words caused a whistling sound among the tribal warriors, and the warriors of Xianbei responded to Tuli's voice with a strange scream.

Li Ao glanced at the Xianbei warriors coldly, and asked coldly: "Warriors, the city lord has always been kind to you. transactions, lest you be defrauded; associate with you, lest you be insulted; Do you have a clear conscience when you make a law to bind the merchants, and declare that your customs should not be violated, and not only do you not collect your taxes, but give you food and grass when you are hungry and cold, and you rebel against the lord of the city, and come against us with the sword? ”

The Xianbei warrior let out a laugh, as if mocking Li Ao's naivety. Tu Li smiled forward and backwards, patted the saddle, and replied to Li Ao: "How can the people who stay in the warm big house know the hard work of our grassland tribe."

In winter, when the cold wind is howling, you are burning charcoal stoves and drinking hot tea in the city and in the mud houses. But we were on the grassland, in the wind and snow, in the broken tents, hugging and hugging each other to keep warm. Why can you take the wind and snow as scenery in the big house, and we shiver in the wind and snow?

You are eating vegetables, fish and shrimp in copper bowls and iron bowls, but we are using wooden bowls to hold the meat of livestock that have died of illness and frozen. Your women stay in the house, the wind does not blow the rain or the rain, the skin is tender and the flesh is tender, and our women are toiling in the wind and snow, scorched and dry. You wear silk and silk, and we wear animal skins and shoes, and why, why should we suffer when you are blessed?

We have come this time to live in your earthen house, to serve your cup, to eat your meat, to drink your hot tea, to put on your clothes, and to use your woman. If you do not agree, let our warriors reap it all with the sword in their hands. ”

Li Ao was speechless, there is such a theory in this world - he can't live a good life, don't blame himself for not working hard, don't blame himself for not implementing and participating in the rules of the game in this society, don't blame himself for not accumulating, and actually use violence and looting, blood and life to seize all this? Such a bandit theory is still said in such righteous and impassioned terms.

"That being the case, there is nothing to say between you and me. If you believe in the sword, then let the sword decide who is righteous and who is unjust. Li Ao shook his head and replied resolutely: "Since you are here today, you are ready to pay the price for your actions." The revenge of the city lord is like a thunderbolt, in today's battle, our army is only 500 people, even if you defeat us, it will not be considered a victory. Since the White Wolf Clan has participated in the war, it is waiting to bear the wrath of the city lord and wait for the extermination of the clan. ”

"Come, fight, we in Heaven the Father are watching us, warriors, for the mercy of the Father, for our homeland, for our women, for the honor of the warriors, fight to the death." Li Ao tapped his shield and gave a loud order.

The remnants of the fat soldier touched the ground on one knee and prayed in a low voice: "Heavenly Father, O God of creation, may your light shine on your children, we are coming, and you may accept us." We fought and died, living up to the honor of the soldiers, the expectations of the people, and the favor of the city lord. ”

Niman awoke to the prayers of the warriors, braced his staggering body, found a broken barrel on the ground, and with all his strength, plunged the barrel into the earth. Then, with his back to the barrel of his gun, he gasped for breath and echoed his final prayer: "The God of Creation is above, and you may accept us." ”

During the warrior's dying prayer, tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry silently looked at these warriors who had made up their minds to die, and out of fear of the gods, the Xianbei chief did not give the order to attack.

In an instant, a crack broke in the clouds, and a ray of sunlight shone straight down from the sky, hitting the fat warrior's body, and the soldiers happily shouted in unison: "God is above, we are coming." ”

Li Ao took the opportunity to shout: "The Father has heard our prayers, the Father is watching us, warriors, fight, we are going to return to the Father." Fight!! ”

"The sky is above, the gods are the witnesses, our people are fighting to the death to defend our descendants! Defend your homeland! Defend dignity! Defend the honor! ”

This is a battle that cannot be witnessed, this is a battle to the death.

317 warriors, the city gate behind them has been blocked, they have no way to retreat, they can only fight to the death.

Countless warriors, even if they were seriously injured and unconscious, once they woke up, rushed to pounce on the Xianbei cavalry, dragging their crippled bodies and severed limbs, biting with their teeth, banging their heads with their heads, and even clinging to the horse's hooves, trampling on them, just to slow down the opponent's attack on the city gate.

Li Ao, whose stomach was flowing, one leg had been cut off, he climbed on the ground unyieldingly, and cursed in a weak voice: "Tuli, you bastard, give me a knife, let me fight to death, you still have a little past friendship, let me die like a warrior." ”

A horse's hoof stepped on him, countless horseshoe stepped on him, darkness descended on his eyes, and everything was over.

For a long time, the Xianbei cavalry did not dare to approach these 317 warriors, for fear that they would not die thoroughly, so they woke up in a coma and pounced on the Xianbei cavalry again.

Tuli hid in the rear formation, and when he saw the scene of the cavalry trampling on Li Ao, his heart moved: "Order, the cavalry stepped forward and trampled these corpses with horses' hooves, and they must be trampled into mud to ensure that they will not die and be resurrected." ”

It was dark, and the heavens couldn't bear to witness the tragic scene, and shed tears. The torrential rain poured, and the flesh and blood of 317 warriors such as Li Ao and Niman gradually merged into the earth, a land that must be sacred because of them.

The news reached Gao Shunjun, who were still 10 miles away from Feiru City.

Gao Shun wiped the rain flowing on his face and ordered: "Discard all baggage, order the troops to speed up the march, tonight, the large army is arrayed outside Feiru City, the ironclad foot soldiers live on the west side of Feiru City, facing the Xianbei army to camp, Lei Riding Wolf Riding is facing the enemy front, on the east side of Lushui, camping near Lushui." ”

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly stepped forward and hurriedly interjected: "General Gao, I watch the lord line up, and the iron-armored foot soldiers are always lined up in front of the formation to resist the impact of the enemy cavalry. The cavalry was divided into two wings, harassing the enemy and breaking the formation to kill the enemy. At present, the enemy army is large, and our army has only more than 6,000 thunder and wolf cavalry, facing 100,000 cavalry, and I am afraid that once it loses, it will shake our army. ”

Gao Shun nodded: "Our army of 6,000 people, 100,000 frontal enemy troops, if under normal circumstances, defeat is inevitable, however, the way of battle formation, ever-changing, must be in harmony with the time and place." Now it happens to be the Qingming season (February of the lunar calendar), and the spring rain is falling. The bows and crossbows used by the enemy army are made of animal tendon wood, and they can not be used in case of rain, our bows and crossbows are made of iron and steel wire, the rain has little impact on our army, the enemy's arrows are glued together, and the arrows of our army are assembled with threaded threads, and the heavy rain causes our army's combat effectiveness to lose 3 percent, and the enemy army loses at least 6 percent.

In addition, our army is backed by Feiru City, and on the other side is Lushui, and bull reinforcements may come from the east of Lushui at any time. The defenders of Feiru are less than 200 people, and now Xianbei does not attack, but because the cavalry is not good at attacking the city and can win, if our army quickly arrives under the city of Feiru, you can rely on the wall of Feiru and fight with the enemy under the city. In this case, the cavalry meets the enemy head-on, but has a fast and flexible mobility. In this battle, our army will win, and the blood of Li Ao and Niman will never be left in vain. ”

Zhang He and Tai Shici tapped the breastplate casually, facing the wind and rain and shouted: "We will win." ”

"Order" Gao Shun wiped the rain from his face again, and ordered: "The whole territory of Izumo enters the alert, and the counties and townships organize people to check the intersection and prepare to search for the defeated soldiers." Ordered Zhao Yun's rangers to patrol along the main road, and everyone who did not take the avenue would be killed immediately if they did not have Izumo's household registration certificate. The defeated soldiers captured in the counties and townships shall be recorded as meritorious service. ”

"The order, the baggage troops followed up, hurried overnight, and early tomorrow morning, they must arrive at the city of Feiru."

After arranging all this, Gao Shun said to the straight Tai Shici who was spreading in the wind and rain, Zhang He ordered: "Two, each go back to your own team, speed up the march, Junyi, your task is the heaviest, you must cross our army tonight and camp on the enemy's flank, I hope you will block the impact of the enemy army and cooperate with our army's actions." ”

Zhang He was silent, stretched out his hand to tap the breastplate, gave a military salute, and turned to run towards the team of ironclad foot soldiers.

Tai Shi Ci nodded slightly, then stood upright, slammed the breastplate with his hand, turned over the horse, and galloped away.

Gao Shun turned around and looked at the advancing team, and suddenly shouted: "The blood of the warriors will not be left in vain, children, don't care about this wind and rain, the father is watching us in heaven, and the father is crying for the warriors." This storm, which is the tears of God the Father, forward, forward, avenging the warriors, forward—"

The soldiers burst into tears of anger and shouted: "Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! ”

In the wind and rain, this roar shook the field, and on the muddy road after the spring rain, the rapid pace of the cavalry infantry splashed a large splash of water and mist.

"Ray! Thunder! Thunder! Accompanied by the roar of the thunder rider, the ironclad foot soldier "Bear!" Bear! Bear! The screams of the wolf riders, the rolling stones of the massive war machines - they will bring destruction.

In the early morning, the earth gradually revealed its true face, and the Xianbei cavalry, who had been noisy by the wolf riding and thunder riding all night, stayed awake all night, and before they could organize their team, the thunder cavalry wolf rider who saw the tragic scene of Li Ao's soldiers in front of the city was angry, the corpses of the warriors were respected, even if it was the corpse of the enemy, Izumo City would not be humiliated, and they would be treated as warriors and buried thickly. Now, Li Ao's corpses were treated like this and trampled on like this, and the angry wolf cavalry took the lead in launching an attack.

Flying General Tai Shici, with a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, led 3,000 wolf cavalry to launch the famous wolf cavalry shooting. The bow was like a thunderbolt, the arrows were like lightning, and waves of arrows rained down on the front of Xianbei repeatedly.

Taishi Ziyi slapped his horse and rushed to the main gate of the Xianbei camp, blocked a cold arrow shot at the front door with his arm shield, ignored the sparse arrows that fell from the armor, pulled out a wolf tooth arrow from the quiver, looked at the white wolf of Xianbei, shot an arrow, and the arrow fell.

The wolf rode and the thunder rode out a thunderous cheer: "Victory." ”

Under the continuous blows, the Xianbei cavalry finally sorted out a team and began to attack the camp. With a trumpet, the wolf cavalry began to slowly retreat, firing back as they went. At this time, the Thunder Cavalry knocked on their shields.

"Bouncing", a dull sound shook the earth. "Thunder", Gao Shun brandished his spear and let out an angry roar.

"Thunder", 3,000 voices echoed in unison.

The pace of the shield striking is getting faster and faster. "Thunder", Gao Shun shouted with his arm raised, and then smashed the spear to the ground.

"Thunder", 3,000 spears smashed to the ground at the same time.

The wolf cavalry withdrew to the front of the thunder cavalry formation, the military horn sounded, and the wolf cavalry suddenly split into two formations, and swept from both sides of the thunder cavalry to the rear of the thunder cavalry.

"Hit", Gao Shun's spear pointed at the enemy and gave the order to attack.

"Break", 3,000 spears were erected in unison, and the knight on the horse bowed up, bowed his head to the horse's neck, held the reins in one hand, and the spear and tiger teeth were deeply clamped on his side, urging the horse to launch an impact.

Destroying the withering and decaying, 3,000 thunder cavalry divided into three layers and poured towards the enemy army like three waves of anger, and the enemy army was vulnerable wherever they passed.

The first wave of thunder cavalry that hit the head was overpowered, and the gun was returned with a hook on the tiger's tooth to hook the Xianbei cavalry on the horse, and with the help of the horse's momentum, the Xianbei cavalry was pulled off the horse, and the second wave and the third wave of cavalry did the same, stabbing down an enemy soldier, with the help of the horse's momentum, dragging out the tiger tooth, returning the gun with his hand, and hooking the second enemy soldier.

Every attack, all of them are broken, this is the evaluation of Gao Shun by history, and Gao Shun deserves it.

From the head of the team to the end of the line, the Thunder Cavalry penetrated the enemy camp, but it took only a few breaths. After killing the red-eyed thunder cavalry through the formation, they turned over and killed back, trampling on the Xianbei cavalry who were knocked to the ground.

"No prisoners left!" Gao Shun held a gun in both hands and pinned a Xianbei soldier to the ground, shouting for a fight

。

After passing through the thunder cavalry and regrouping the wolf cavalry, hearing Gao Shun's order, Tai Shici inserted the longbow, took out the Xiaoyue halberd, and shouted: "Kill them all." Immediately, they took the lead and rushed towards the Xianbei cavalry.

The wolf cavalry neatly put away their longbows, put on their helmets for charging, raised their spears, and shouted in unison: "Kill them all." ”

At this moment, Zhang He's ironclad infantry rushed to the battlefield, the trumpet sounded loudly, the military flag fluttered, and the flank of the Xianbei infantry launched an echo: "Kill them all." ”
