Chapter Seventy-Six: The Aftermath of Ming Di's Defection Miao III
readx;
Ebenny remembered that when the army had not yet crossed the Wuhu River, ten of his men were enthusiastically discussing the Khorasan Avenue and imagining the distant Tang Kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, they either collapsed on the battlefield, becoming a cold corpse; Or disgraced, no longer with the vigor of young people.
Ebeni suddenly remembered his father, who had followed the army across the Wuhu River and died in a bloody battle with the Turks under the command of the Sulu Khan, whether he had felt the same despair and helplessness.
Originally, if the war had gone well, Ebeni believed that the ecstasy of victory might have enabled six of his men to recover from the shadow of death and grow into true warriors.
However, the six exhausted men who were supposed to rest on the north bank of the river had to drag their tired bodies to meet the enemy when a strong enemy suddenly appeared in the north.
An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Albenny's heart, fearing that they would not see the new sunrise. In order to save as many lives as possible from his men, Ebeni decided to enter the battle with his wounds. After all, it would definitely be difficult for his ten-man team to be fully taken care of under the command of the other ten-captains.
As soon as Ebeni loosened his men, he saw thousands of horses leaping out of the northern horizon. The horses seemed to be frightened by something, and ran like madness.
Albeni took a deep breath and clenched his spear, ready to charge at any moment.
"Captain Ten, there will be no one right away!" One of Ebenni's young Khorasan cavalrymen, who was very good at spear throwing, shouted.
"No one?!" Albeni took a closer look, only to realize that there was indeed no one on the herd of horses that were getting closer and closer: "Is it hiding under the belly of the horse?" What's the use of that? ”
"Loose formation! Rush up, change the short spear, shoot the horses, and avoid the formation being disrupted! The commander shouted, "Will Abu? Muslim's military orders were passed on.
"Kill!" Ebeni lowered his spear, drew his short spear, and drove his horse forward.
The morale of the Khorasan cavalry was okay, but it was a bit comical to charge against a group of horses.
The horses were fast, and the Khorasan cavalry and Sogdian light cavalry were constantly picking up speed. Soon, the horses were within range of their spears and bows.
Under the blows of short spears and a rain of arrows, many horses fell to the ground and died. The Khorasan cavalry had expected the horses to be frightened and scattered. But the crazy herd of horses continued to rush forward. The corpse of the horse that fell to the ground only slowed down the speed of the herd slightly.
The Khorasan cavalry, who were at the forefront, found that the horses did not act alone, but were joined together by five horses.
"The horses are connected together, and there must be an enemy behind the horses!" The Khorasan cavalry in the front row shouted as they threw their spears. When the commander learned of this, he immediately sent to Abu? Muslim reports.
Ebenni's ten-man squad was in the middle of the Khorasan cavalry array. After estimating the right distance, he endured the faint pain in his chest and threw his short spear with all his might.
Albenny wanted to shoot a red horse in the neck, but when he exerted his strength, his chest hurt, and the short spear missed a little, and the red horse was shot in the back. Something seemed to be punctured, and a strange smell spread out.
Albeni sniffed, suddenly turned pale, and shouted urgently, "Evil fire! Evil fire! The evil fire of the Tang people! ”
After narrowly escaping the fire attack of the Beiting Army under the city of Talas, Albeni was particularly sensitive to the smell of the evil fire of the Tang people. The Governor's personal guards once mentioned the evil fire of the Tang people
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) may be the Roman fire used by the Romans in the east of the Great Food Country, but the Khorasan cavalry still prefers to use the name Evil Fire to refer to the strange fire of the Tang Army.
Ebenny's six men didn't understand why the Captain Ten exclaimed at first, but as the smell grew in the air, more of the Khorasan cavalry, who had seen the evil fire, realized that danger was approaching.
"Turn around, spread out to both sides, make way for these crazy horses, the enemy will still attack!" Without waiting for the commander to give the order, Albeni yelled at six of his men.
Since crossing the Wuhu River, the young Khorasan cavalry has admired the alert and brave Captain Abeni and has developed the habit of blindly following orders.
They had just begun to try to turn their horses' heads when the galloping herd had already rushed into the loose array of Khorasan cavalry. Some of the cavalrymen who could not escape were either knocked down by their horses or tripped over by ropes between their horses, and their lives were lost.
When Ebeni and his six men turned their horses around with great difficulty and galloped westward, the commander reacted and ordered the Khorasan cavalry to dodge the Crazy Horse.
However, before the Khorasan cavalry could completely dodge, the stars in the sky dimmed, and a large bright spot rose from behind the horses and shot at the Khorasan cavalry.
"Don's rocket!" Albeni was more convinced of his judgment and whipped his mount vigorously, urging it to speed westward.
As soon as the rocket fell, the fierce oil fire on the back of the horses was ignited, and clusters of strange tongues of fire appeared.
Licking in the tongue of fire. With a suck, more fierce oil fires were ignited, and the tongues of fire quickly joined together.
The horses, scorched by the flames, like mad beasts, scurried in the Khorasan cavalry formation, scattering flames everywhere.
Hundreds of Khorasan cavalry caught in the flames, covered in flames, screaming and running in pain, could not extinguish the flames on their bodies.
Fortunately, the Khorasan cavalry was prepared for fire attacks, and the formation was very loose, and they did not cause huge losses.
After the Beiting archers dismounted and fired two rounds of rockets, they divided into two arrays, east and west, which were far apart, and took more than ten steps forward respectively, and began to shoot the Khorasan cavalry with ordinary feathered arrows.
And the Khorasan cavalry, dodging the flames in all directions, had no time to counterattack the archers of the North Court who were shooting far away.
The sea of fire soared, like a huge torch that suddenly lit, attracting the attention of everyone on the battlefield.
"Firelight! Firelight! The Beiting Army is here! "Wei Boyu's eyes are particularly thieves, and he was the first to discover the changes in the north.
Bai Xiaode, who has been hanging his bow for a long time and has weak muscles, is not as reckless as Wei Boyu. He stared at the north for a long time, and faintly heard the sound of fighting and screams, before he raised his arms and shouted: "Beiting Army!" Beiting Army! Reinforcements have arrived! ”
Feng Changqing was the most cautious, he stood on the high place of the big camp, carefully observed the overall changes on the battlefield, and then shouted excitedly: "Jie Shuai, it is the Beiting Army, the deployment of the Great Food Rebels has completely changed, and their main forces are concentrated in the north!" ”
Gao Xianzhi forced his composure, but his trembling arms still revealed the joy in his heart.
When Wei Boyu and Bai Xiaode shouted, Cen Shen was still suspicious. When Feng Changqing, who had always been cold, also let out a rare roar, Cen Shen believed that the news of the arrival of the Beiting Army was true. Relaxed, his legs went limp, and he fell into the mud.
In normal times, Cen Shen's embarrassment would definitely trigger a burst of ridicule. But at this time, whether it is Gao Xian
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Zhi, Feng Changqing, Xi Yuanqing, Duan Xiushi, no one said anything to ridicule. A day after the bloody battle, the soldiers of the Anxi Army had long regarded Cen Shen as their own people, and were no longer the unattainable Chang'an Jinshi.
Bai Xiaode even bent down to help Cen Shen up, and asked with concern: "Cen Zhangshu, didn't you fall and get hurt?" ”
"It's okay!" Cen Shen said with a smile: "I'm so happy, it's a little gaffe, let everyone laugh!" ”
"Cen Zhangshu, I also had a little weak leg just now!" Wei Boyu turned his head and grimaced, resolving the embarrassment for Cen Shen. Fighting side by side, the two who are both from Chang'an became acquainted.
"Finally waiting for reinforcements!" Dou Wumo, whose armor was covered with blood spots, couldn't help but sigh. When the camp was in danger and Ximen was almost broken through by the Khorasan cavalry, it was Dou Wumo who led his guards to draw their swords and fight bloodily to buy time for the Mo swordsmen.
Bian Lingcheng, who was huddled in the corner, found that the situation had changed, and looked at it for a long time, confirming that it was the arrival of the Beiting Army, that he jumped out like a monkey and screamed: "Gao Jieshuai, the reinforcements are coming, why don't you fight back?" ”
Gao Xianzhi glanced at the crazy Bian Lingcheng in disgust, stood on a high place and roared angrily: "Anxi athletes! After a day of hard fighting, many of our robes fell under the butcher's knives of the Great Food rebels. But we have always stood and never succumbed! Now, the Beiting Army has arrived and is attacking the Great Food rebels on the north bank of the river! Athletes! It's time for revenge! Let's hold on to our horses, pick up our swords, and avenge our fallen robes! ”
"Revenge! Revenge! The red-eyed Anxi soldiers raised their horizontal knives and curved bows in their hands and shouted in unison.
"The border supervisor, in the recital of the marshal, he will definitely ask for credit for the supervisor. The spoils of Tuozhi City will also be given to the overseers one more. In the deafening roar, Feng Changqing quietly moved to Bian Lingcheng's side and whispered in a low voice.
"The Judge is such a wonderful person!" Bian Lingcheng, who was angry, turned his anger into joy and said: "The little lady of Tuozhi City warms her feet very well, can the judge ......?"
"I will be handsome, and after the war, I will send ten young Hu Niang to the prison tent, I don't know if it is enough?" Feng Changqing generously promised.
"Enough! That's enough! Bian Ling Cheng smiled narrowly.
"Crossbowmen, don't skimp on arrows, concentrate your shots, and sweep away the enemy near the gate! Heavy cavalry, mount and prepare to attack from the north gate! After the heavy cavalry opened the gap, the light cavalry followed! Gao Xianzhi saw that the army's heart was greatly boosted, and he immediately began to deploy a counterattack. Before he finished his military order, he heard the scouts near the south gate exclaim: "Hui cavalry! ”
Gao Xianzhi looked back and saw thousands of light cavalry flying the eagle banner, like an eagle soaring for nine days, riding horses from the south. The current general, judging from his posture, is Prince Ye Hu.
The 5,000 Khorasan cavalry and 10,000 Sogdian light cavalry who were besieging the camp of the Anxi army never expected that there were thousands of enemy troops lurking in the south. When they hurriedly gathered their men and horses to fight, the agile Hui light cavalry had already rushed to the southwest corner of the camp and shot a dense array of locust feathered arrows at the Dashi rebels who surrounded the west gate.
Just now, the distant firelight and the roar of the Anxi army made the anxious Prince Ye Hu's expression lift, and he jumped on the back of the horse and shouted: "Hui warriors, do you still want a strong and good horse?" The Beiting Army has arrived as promised, let's encircle and annihilate the Great Food Rebels! As long as you have the ability, no matter how many big eating horses you catch, it will be your own! ”
