Chapter 392: Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood
Although the attack formation of the Doulu army when riding and shooting is not neat, but the cavalry is skilled in bow and horse, most of these Doulu army are the Tuyuhun people of the Doulu clan, they have lived on horseback since childhood, living in water and grass, skilled in archery and horse, riding and archery kung fu quite well, Zhao Ziliang believes that if such an army undergoes strict training in his hands, the combat effectiveness is definitely more than that, and the current Doulu army lacks effective tactical and disciplinary training under Li Hongding, what a waste!
A large number of arrows came from the sky and landed on the top of the shield array of the Shenwu Army with a clanging sound, but there were still many arrows that shot into the gaps between the shield arrays, and from time to time someone screamed after being hit by the arrow.
A thousand Doulu troops galloped and fired a salvo, and then divided into two teams under the sand dunes and circled back from the left and right, but behind them were a thousand cavalrymen armed with spears, and the archers had just made a detour, and the front row of the thousand cavalry of the Doulu army armed with spears rushed up from the bottom of the dunes.
Zhao Ziliang shouted: "All stand up, the shield is in front, the spear is ready, stuck diagonally in the sand, holding the shield in one hand and the knife in the other hand ready to kill the enemy-"
Hearing this, the soldiers picked up the spears on the ground and inserted them diagonally on the sand to set up a long spear formation, and then drew out their waist horizontal knives, holding a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand to look at the cavalry of the Doulu Army who were rushing over.
In order to cope with various situations, Zhao Ziliang originally asked each of the soldiers of the Shenwu Army to equip them with bows and arrows, spears and horizontal knives, and now it seems that this arrangement is finally put to use.
"Ready-" Zhao Ziliang looked at the cavalry of the Doulu Army who rushed over and shouted, as soon as the words fell two breaths, the cavalry of the Doulu Army in the front row collided with the outermost part of the Shenwu Army, but there was a circle of carriages between the two, and because the Doulu Army rushed up from below, the war horses could not jump over the carriage and jumped into the military formation, and they crashed into the carriage, and the war horses let out a scream, and the knights of the Doulu Army flew into the Shenwu Army army formation one by one, and a burst of sword light flashed, The soldiers of the Doulu Army who were still in the air were all hacked to death and cut into several sections.
Rows and rows of Doulu cavalry rushed up, some people crashed into the carriage and rolled down and were trampled to death by their companions, some people involuntarily flew into the front of the Shenwu army formation and were slashed, and the later people kept riding horses and rushing up, layers of corpses gradually piled up, the corpses gradually overshadowed the carriage, and the Doulu army cavalry could finally ride their horses and leap into the Shenwu army array.
However, the dense spear array has become a death line for the cavalry of the Doulu army, and the cavalry of the Doulu army has constantly collided with the spears of the pike formation and become a skewer.
As the cavalry of the Doulu Army kept rushing up, soon more than 2,000 cavalry of the Doulu Army surrounded the circular formation of the five hundred Shenwu Army, and in the face of the temptation of more than a dozen carts of gold, silver and jewelry, the soldiers of the Doulu Army kept rushing towards the Shenwu Army formation like crazy, and the shouts of killing continued to spread out, the corpses were piled up layer by layer, and the casualties of the Shenwu Army soldiers were getting bigger and bigger, and the entire slope of the sand dunes was lying with corpses.
Zhao Ziliang rode on the back of a Wuli horse, his expression was unmoved, and the flag was planted beside him on the sand and drooped weakly, and the soldiers on both sides continued to die tragically under the swords of the other party's soldiers, and the entire sand dune slope was almost dyed red.
Under the sand dunes, Li Hongding watched with a gloomy face as his cavalry kept besieging Zhao Ziliang's military formation, but there was never much progress, but the forces of both sides were consuming each other, so if he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would not be able to finish fighting for another hour, seeing that it was already noon, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, not only unfavorable to the defender, but also unfavorable to the attacker, Li Hongding was a little anxious, and shouted: "Li Gao, order to speed up the attack, pass on the official's order, kill a small soldier and reward five times, kill an officer and reward fifty times, Kill Zhao Ziliang and reward a box of gold, silver and jewelry, and be promoted to three levels! ”
"No!"
With Li Hongding's bounty issued, the Doulu army began to attack like crazy, all of them were not afraid of death, the temptation of these rewards was too great, and ordinary soldiers and officers could not bear it at all.
The sun has already begun to move west from the center, and there are now only more than two hundred people left in the more than five hundred Shenwu army, and the Doulu army has also lost more than six or seven hundred, and the attacker's double casualties are still affordable for Li Hongding.
More than sixty percent of the casualties made the Shenwu Army almost unable to hold on, and Zhao Ziliang and his subordinates could only keep cheering up the soldiers of the Shenwu Army.
After another hour, the Shenwu army, including the two captains Jiao Zhong and Fan Tong, were all killed, and in this case, both sides were already red-eyed, and no one thought of fleeing or surrendering.
More than 500 Shenwu troops were all killed, and the cavalry of the Doulu army also lost more than 1,000 people, and the entire sand dune slope was full of corpses, and there were corpses rolling down from it, and blood seeped out of the sand at the foot of the dune, and the slopes of the sand dunes were all stained red with blood.
Zhao Ziliang's flag was still firmly planted on the sand, but there were only five servants left around him, looking at the approaching cavalry of the Doulu Army who had already killed the red-eyed, Zhao Ziliang raised the golden nail Zaoyang lance and pointed at one of the soldiers and shouted: "Who will send them to death!" ”
The soldier swallowed his saliva and was a little frightened, but the other Doulu cavalry rushed over with a big shout, raised the spear in his hand and stabbed Zhao Ziliang's golden nail Zaoyang lance in his hand and swept it, and a row of seven or eight Doulu army cavalry were all stopped and cut into two sections.
"Kill-" Zhao Ziliang shouted, his legs were clamped, and the Wuli horse covered in his whole body rushed down the slope, and the cavalry of the Doulu Army in front of him was knocked over on his back, Zhao Ziliang waved the horse lance, slashed and killed more than a dozen people in a row, and shouted at the five servants behind him: "Follow me!" ”
"Kill-" Zhao Ziliang kept waving his horse lance to slash and kill the enemy, his mouth kept yelling, and he didn't have time to wipe it off when a puff of blood sprayed on his face, he relied on Wuli to wear a heavy horse armor and his own unparalleled defense God armor, rushed down from the top of the sand dune, rushed open a bloody road, knocked over many Doulu cavalry along the way, and kept slashing and killing the Doulu cavalry, as fast and easy as a kitchen knife cutting tofu.
In the blink of an eye, the five servants followed Zhao Ziliang to the bottom of the sand dune, and Li Hongding, who was standing not far from the bottom of the sand dune on horseback, suddenly showed horror on his face, he always thought that he had not underestimated Zhao Ziliang, but this scene just now made him decide to underestimate Zhao Ziliang, you must know that there are nearly 2,000 Doulu army cavalry around here, this Zhao Ziliang actually fought his way out of the siege and was about to kill in front of him.
Li Hongding's face was frightened, and he immediately commanded the three hundred guards around him and said: "Hurry up and surround him, don't let him kill him, stop him quickly!" Hurry".
Li Hongding's 300 personal guards cavalry quickly stopped in front of him, while he retreated back under the protection of several personal soldiers, and at this moment, two Tang cavalry appeared two miles on the left and right sides of the slope of the dune, these were the two cavalry led by Brehan and Nur respectively.
Far away, Brehan and Nur held their weapons and yelled on horseback, and the cavalry behind them also made a large number of shouts and killings, this is a truly elite cavalry, every cavalry of the Tang Army is hideous and murderous, and the speed of running is getting faster and louder.
The cavalry of the Doulu Army, which has already gone through nearly an hour of death, has been exhausted and shocked by the determination of the Tang Army led by Zhao Ziliang to fight to the death, although they successfully annihilated the five hundred infantry led by Zhao Ziliang, but their losses were even heavier, under this heavy casualties, the Doulu Army was not only exhausted, but also demoralized, after the appearance of these two Tang Army, the Doulu Army cavalry on the slope was suddenly shocked, many Doulu Army cavalry began to fight and flee, in the case of inability to continue to fight, low morale, Fleeing is the only option.
Except for the three hundred personal guard cavalry, no one cares about Li Hongding anymore, three hundred cavalry surround Zhao Ziliang, and Li Hongding and Liang Wenzhao watched in horror as Zhao Ziliang kept breaking through to this side, killing one after another in the way, they were so frightened that they retreated again and again, but they couldn't escape, they knew very well that at this time, either they died or Zhao Ziliang died, even if they escaped, the matter leaked out, they were also dead, after the thing failed, Li Linfu would definitely push two or six five, and he would also fall into the well and kill people, Now one of the things he can do is to fight Zhao Ziliang to the end!
Seeing his cavalry fleeing in a panic, Li Hongding was shocked and shouted: "Don't go, no one is allowed to escape!" ”
No one paid attention to Li Hongding, at this time the escape has formed a chain reaction, in the general situation of escaping, the people who stay behind can only be a dead end, no one will be so stupid.
"Bastard, bastard!" Li Hongding was in a hurry, drew his sword and successively slashed and killed several Doulu cavalry who wanted to escape from him, and shouted: "Stop the enemy, whoever dares to escape again, this is the end!" ”
It was useless, all the cavalry of the Doulu army still fled without stopping, they had completely lost their fighting spirit, and they were attacked by the left and right flanks in exhaustion, even with God's help, they could not save the defeat.
Zhao Ziliang began to exert all his strength at this time, the golden nail jujube yang lance in his hand waved so that only one afterimage remained, and there were stumps and broken arms in front of him and on the left and right sides that flew into the air and then fell, a puff of blood splashed around, he was already covered in blood, Wuli Ma was wearing a solid horse armor and rampaged, knocking away and knocking over many of Li Hongding's personal guard cavalry, Zhao Ziliang relied on invincible force and bravery to kill a bloody way from the three hundred personal guards, leaving only the broken corpses and blood all over the ground to rush to the frightened Li Hongding.
The horse lance smashed from top to bottom, and with a "bump", Li Hongding's head was smashed like a watermelon, and it was another afterimage, Li Hongding's body was cut into eight pieces by Zhao Ziliang, and his war horse was also killed.
Liang Wenzhao was so frightened that his face turned pale, his liver and gall were about to burst, he screamed and ran away, Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Catch him and divide his five horses!" ”
"No!" There were still four of the five servants who followed Zhao Ziliang, and they bypassed Zhao Ziliang and chased after them as soon as they agreed.
Zhao Ziliang turned his horse's head and met Li Hongding's remaining more than 100 guards again, he was killed all the way by him just now, he had killed more than 100 people, and there were so many people left, these were all crazy after seeing Li Hongding being killed by Zhao Ziliang, it seems that Li Hongding is usually good to these guards, otherwise they would not have avenged him regardless of life and death after he died.
The battle ended quickly, although Zhao Ziliang killed a lot of people, but he also suffered several blows on his body, but with the strong protection of the armor of the god of war, he did not suffer any damage. (To be continued.) )
