Chapter 471: Return 14
Countless military boots with iron soles and nail heads stepped on the thin fresh snow on the Xuzhou Plain, and soon turned the place they traveled into a muddy place.
These groups of soldiers who followed closely behind the chariots and horses, carrying double ammunition and emergency rations in a posture of fighting loads, calmly maintained a certain trot speed, and entered the battlefield in front of the enemy.
The vanguard troops who were the first to encounter the enemy and exchange fire, in the midst of the Huma'er gathered from all directions, the furious assault and the rain of locusts, worked hard to consolidate such a support point that broke into the vicinity of Xuzhou.
They are so close to Xuzhou City that they can see clearly with the naked eye alone, and the flag color is still fluttering on the city. And the enemy is like a beehive of alarm, nailed near them.
However, as the task of the pioneer regiment, it is to firmly protect the erected military flag on the soil slope here, so that the defenders of Xuzhou City can see it, so as to gain the confidence and encouragement to hold on for a longer time.
And in the dust and smoke of this noisy battle, Dutou Gu Laosi, who was holding the ground with one hand, suddenly spit out a mouthful of bloody foam, and forcibly endured the dizziness of knocking down, but fortunately, he just felt that somewhere in his mouth was broken.
And the feeling that the gun was still firmly held in the other hand made him feel a lot more relieved.
And the spear-wielding soldier who stood in front of him and knocked him away had already trampled on his chest, and waved his hooves at him again in a demonstrative manner.
Gu Laosi didn't blink his eyes, nor did he pull out the inserted strip, he bent down and raised the end of the long gun diagonally, stepped forward violently, and raised his leg to re-sway the horse's hooves.
This time, the opponent's mount was a little panicked, and desperately turned its body sideways under the control of the angry Mite, trying to sweep away the obstacle in front of it with its front legs, but still could not avoid the sharp object that stabbed into the chest head-on.
Gu Laosi only felt a stagnation in his hand, and suddenly trembled and picked it up, facing a terrible and tragic hissing and sprayed foam, and then his hand was heavily sideways, and a large blood fountain with the fragments of unknown organs was poured on his shoulders and arms.
Gu Laosi turned his head sideways unmoved, avoiding these red stains that might affect his vision, and then re-raised the tip of the bent spur, and pressed half of his legs under the fallen horse, and tried his best to block Hu Mazi who wanted to get up, and pulled the trigger.
With a dull bang, the arm of Hu Ma'er hung down softly, but Gu Lao Siyan quickly snatched it, blocking a wooden spear that was stabbed from the back of another horse, but it was a little hard to cut off the tip of the pig iron, it was really a good short-bladed thick-backed scimitar, he admired
stepped on the dead horse's feet that were still warm, grabbed the severed head with one hand, and slashed upside down along the spear shaft with the other hand, and suddenly the opponent who was too late to stop his hand, half of his forearm and palm were cut off obliquely, and he couldn't help screaming miserably.
Despite this, Hu Mazi was very brave to let go of the reins with his other hand, pounced on Gu Laosi, and rolled to the ground together, until the scimitar embedded in his stomach was violently stirred to the ground.
After Gu Laosi got up again, he stepped forward a few steps to grab the opponent before he could run away from the mount, and he could hold the right in front of him as a cover, and he heard a painful hissing, but it was more than a dozen whistling flying arrows, all of which were concentrated on this group of mounts.
Then there was the sound of rows of guns that I remembered again, and those whistling arrows were suddenly suppressed, but at this time, the affected queue around Gu Laosi had been regrouped, and the white soldiers with shields were once again in front of them.
The comrades behind him also held on to them, and the remaining vanguard soldiers, who were a little too prominent, whether dead or wounded, retreated to the protection of the phalanx of the brigade to rest and reload again.
Behind them, more followers had changed from a galloping marching queue to a dense array of black pressure and marching postures, and under the harassment and obstruction of the galloping Hu cavalry, like a boulder pushing away the flow of water, they slowly and resolutely approached the hinterland of the plain where they were entrenched.
However, this qiē was some kind of out-and-out bad news for the eleventh feudal coalition army that had just been awakened from the great joy and cheers of the defeat of Xuzhou.
"The Ranger Guard on the Periphery is the ...... in charge"
A feudal chieftain arrived in a hurry
"Where did all their men die......
"Just let these southern troops kill near our own formation......"
"The one in charge of the guard is the man of the old Ha Fan,"
Another leader of the feudal army responded with some schadenfreude
"It seems that when they heard the news of the destruction of the city, they ran back on their own early......"
"I'm afraid that now I am still trapped in the city and looting with the men and horses of other tribes......"
"Do you see clearly which enemy is coming......
One of the leaders of the feudal army asked hurriedly.
"What the athletes saw was a red flame and a purple thunderbolt......"
The leader of the frontier probe replied
"There are also the words 'Imperial Camp' and 'Guerrilla' on the side of the flag......"
"Damn, it's the 'invincible' ......"
The head of a feudal clan couldn't help but snort coldly
"They actually came back from Jinnai, just in time to kill the generals......"
"That's it...... Is that the new army of the Southern Dynasty that fought all over the 17 military states of Hebei Province like entering no man's land......"
Another feudal chieftain was a little unconvinced
"Who would dare to make such a banner except them......"
The other people's faces also changed, as the princes of Saiwai who had plundered all the way from outside Hebei Province, how could they not have heard of the deeds and style of this army.
In fact, after they broke through from Hebei all the way, they unscrupulously plundered all the way south, and thanks to this group of people, the disturbances in Hebei were turned upside down, and the armaments along the way were already eroded and extremely empty.
"That's a big deal......"
Another leader of the feudal army arrived in a hurry, but it was a middle-aged man with gray hair who had not yet grown old.
"We need enough men to fight the enemy......"
"Most of them rushed into the city, scattered everywhere, and they would not be able to extract it for a while......
"For now, I can only rely on me who stays outside the city to wait......"
"We need to buy time on the spot......"
The last voice suppressed their possible dispute, and with a hammer, it was the head of the Hongclan clan who was dressed in fur,
"Let all the people who have already entered the city come out and meet ......"
The Hong's domain, which was originally divided into Xiangshui Hou, sat on a large area of Xiangshui Haizi and the water meadows in the upper reaches of the Tuhuzhen River, and had five large and small cities, as well as dozens of feudal settlements. It is a first-class feudal domain in western Liaoxi,
Even if there are hundreds of thousands of strong men in the grassland, under the full force of the territory, they can make up at least 30,000 adult string controllers, and there are coal mountains and tin caves underneath, as well as the benefits of the Haixi trade route through the grassland.
Therefore, the Hongshi Clan had enough money and resources to support a group of former officials and scribes who fled out of the country, forming a considerable staff and subordinate official team.
Therefore, the contemporary head of the family, Hong Kuohai, who led the army of the Hong's clan into the customs, is also the temporary alliance leader who has the most strength to overwhelm the heroes and give orders among the eleven foreign princes.
Similarly, it was also because of the strong intervention of the Hong's feudal army that the various feudal divisions that were originally not very united and attacked each other, reunified the basic orders and pace, and planned this means of division and discord, and finally paved the way for the destruction of this Xuzhou fortified city.
However, the new enemies and unexpected situations have obviously broken the conventional pattern of joining hands and cooperating with each other and sharing the benefits together according to the amount of effort they have made afterwards.
As the statement and determination of the Hongshi Clan, in a new round of horn sound. A cavalryman dressed in bubble nail leather armor and armed with a long mace and mace suddenly stood out from the crowd.
Riding his horse and driving, he rolled up a long and mighty smoke dragon, and slaughtered directly towards the enemy formation that had already gained a firm foothold and formed an array of grades.
They circled the first gap of the meter, and slapped their horses into the defeated Humaer, like a storm blowing along the edge, and while sweeping the edge of the enemy positions that had not yet had time to react, they also easily swept away the sparsely raised spears, and knocked the soldiers who stood in the front row two or three columns into the air, and exploded into a cloud of blood.
This situation and this scene can't help but make those who are watching the battle in the rear, the leaders of the various domains spontaneously cheer in unison, and it is just like this to ride against each other, this is the sail that the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Domain should have.
The wandering Humal were also inspired by this to regroup, and the tail was once again in the disorganized front row, and fought close to the foot soldiers.
After a short period of downwind, the formations of these southern armies also underwent some kind of changes that were difficult to observe. When these armored cavalry, under the cover of sand and noise and the hustle and bustle, suddenly fought out on the flanks and rear of the phalanx, and repeated their old tricks, they were confronted with a hastily raised shield wall, which was indistinctly blocked, and most of them were hammered and struck.
Although these hastily raised shields were soon knocked down and flew out in the battle of momentum. But it also somewhat hindered the movement and reach of these cavalrymen, and when they harnessed their horsepower and momentum, they turned back and pounced again.
Then, these armored cavalry, who had been slowed down, suddenly stumbled in front of their horses, and fell down like dead leaves blown by the wind. But it was the firearms in the array, and they began to shoot intensively.
All of a sudden, except for a few cavalrymen who saw the opportunity quickly and galloped away in time, the entire army of a thousand cavalry was injured more than half of them in the photo.
This result made these leaders, who had already had their own thoughts, suddenly change their faces.
