Chapter 63: Ma Teng's Rebellion

"How is that possible?" Li Yuan panicked, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and tried to wait and see.

Dian Wei grabbed the double halberd, and while dragging Li Yuan, who was in a daze, he scolded the panicked soldiers: "What are you panicking about? The enemy is still five miles away, so they all pick up the guys for Lao Tzu and beat them up for me. ”

A dark shadow in his line of sight gradually expanded, accompanied by a rumbling sound, rushing towards this place at a speed visible to the naked eye. Li Yuan never expected the rebels to come, first shocked, and then turned into anger, a personal soldier had already led the horse, he mounted the horse and drew his sword, and said in a loud voice: "Listen to me, the soldiers, the rebels are coming to die!" Didn't make us wait all night, hold our weapons, and prepare to kill the enemy with this general. ”

As soon as the panicked soldiers heard Li Yuan say this, they suddenly felt light, and they all found their superiors and lined up in formation.

This cavalry is extremely fast, just a moment after speaking, it is close to less than three miles, Li Yuan seems to be relaxed, but in fact he is extremely nervous, but now, he can only fight to the death, and said loudly: "Where is He Man?" ”

After hearing the enemy's attack, He Man threw away the wooden bowl in his hand, quickly gathered his subordinates, and rushed to Li Yuan's place. ”

Li Yuan had actually seen him a long time ago, so he called out, there is nothing more important than improving morale now, and he ordered without looking back: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while." If you don't do it now, you can't do it when! ”

When He Man heard this, the fatigue of the night disappeared, and he raised his big knife and said, "Sons, kill me!" ”

Yang Wei'er was in high spirits and rushed towards the enemy, and the two torrents were about to collide in one place.

Li Yuan was quite satisfied, and at this time, Wen Chou and Huang Shao led the troops and ordered: "Wen Chou, you always say that martial arts are useless, and when the enemy army is coming, you still don't show your martial arts." ”

Wen Chou had already waited for this sentence, screamed and killed him, and actually threw off his infantry in a big way. Li Yuan looked at him with a helmet and armor, a three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, a carved tiger bow on his shoulder, and a red cloak "awe-inspiring" flying, although it was a back, but it was indescribably majestic.

Huang Shao was also eager to try, but he saw that he didn't hear the order, so he had to wait by the side. He Yi and Guan Hai were also watching the battle, and Pang De came to Li Yuan and asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”

Li Yuan said: "There are only 2,000 cavalry in Longxi, since we arrived first, we will first frustrate their spirit and increase the morale of our army; When its army arrives, it will have the power to maneuver. ”

Pang De still had questions, but he didn't care to ask, only to see two teams of cavalry, like two torrents colliding together, although the soldiers and horses of the Yangwei battalion were brave, but the number was weaker than the other army, so the first confrontation was equal. When the enemy saw an infantry force approaching, they immediately divided into hundreds and slaughtered it.

Wen Chou took the bow from his horse, shot three arrows in a row, all of them hit the enemy's face, and the body without breathing fell off the horse, and was trampled into meat when he landed, and put three arrows, and collected the bow and held the knife. At this time, the infantry arrived, and raised their shields and spears, and just set up their formation, the cavalry killed, and rushed up directly, instantly breaking into a hole, and the soldiers who did not even have shields were unlucky, and those who were close to the cavalry were either killed or stabbed to death by spears.

After a night of hard work, the soldiers were already exhausted, and now they were slaughtered again, how could they be in the mood to fight, and they were defeated in an instant.

Li Yuan looked at it from behind, and it seemed that he had misestimated his own strength, so he had to say to Pang De: "Ling Ming has seen you this time." ”

Pang De saw the power of Wen Chou's six arrows, and his heart was itching for a long time, and when he heard Li Yuan's order, he didn't think about it, and led his 1,000 infantry to kill him. His own decline stopped, relying on the courage of Wen Chou and Pang De, to stop the edge of these hundreds of cavalry, and now they are divided and surrounded. But even so, it can't take the advantage, after all, the strength is exposed, and it has to be evenly divided.

At this time, the kingdom arrived with its infantry and, seeing this, immediately went into battle.

Li Yuan shook the "three-foot sword" in his hand, feeling a heaviness, this short sword can make countless heroes follow one after another, he raised his sword and said: "Kill with me!" ”

Dian Wei and He Man's mounts were carefully selected Xiliang war horses, which were thicker than good horses, otherwise how could they withstand their weight. At this moment, Dian Wei Yu was holding the double halberd on the horse, and with the height of nine feet, it was even more powerful.

More than 2,000 infantry quickly rushed to the battlefield, Li Yuan looked at the battlefield, and then glanced at the soldiers behind him, and suddenly felt that something was not good, one by one, there was no strength, how could there be an indomitable momentum, how could it be victorious if it went on like this.

He took the lead, Fang approached the battlefield, his face was hot, and he didn't know whose blood was splashed on his face, and the feeling of being lost for a long time immediately came to his heart, but he was no longer the one who sacrificed himself to die, and even his weapon was no longer unsheathed. Seeing an enemy soldier raise his spear and stab at him, he blocked it stiffly, and his mouth hurt, and the weapon almost came out of his hand.

Dian Wei stepped forward and stabbed him to death, shouting, "Big brother, what are you doing? ”

Li Yuan knew the reason why Dian Wei was angry: Why couldn't he even kill an ordinary soldier?

Li Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart: "Second brother, second brother, you have to protect your eldest brother!" ”

Li Yuan fought for a while, and found that his soldiers were really powerless, and the opponent's strength was more than doubled, often two to one, three to one, he could only rely on the Yangwei battalion that had been baptized on the battlefield many times. He had Dian Wei and well-equipped personal guards without worry, his eyes scanned the battlefield unscrupulously, and soon he saw that the Yangwei battalion had been surrounded, although it was in a disadvantageous terrain, but it was still fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and the enemy often paid three or four lives to kill one person. Even so, it made Li Yuan feel extremely distressed, this is his own dependence!

But now is not the time to regret it, if this army can't even cope with such a battle, how can it compete with themselves in the Central Plains in the future.

Li Yuan was stunned in this moment, and when he looked around, the sorrow just now disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because there was no enemy within three zhang of his side. The enemy army circled the outer city of Sanzhang, holding weapons in their hands, looking at Dian Wei covered in blood with a frightened expression, and did not dare to advance.

Dian Wei didn't know when he had abandoned his horse and fought on foot, if he hadn't wanted to protect his eldest brother, he would have killed him a long time ago. Li Yuan has such a tiger general, what do you have to worry about, the pride in his heart was ignited by it again, and he shouted: "Kill me!" ”

He let go of his hands and feet and swung his sword again and again, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and in the blink of an eye, there were only more than ten people left around him.

Li Yuan swept the battlefield again, and his side had already seen a large-scale decline, and it was irretrievable.

"Hurry up and join Homan." As soon as he finished saying this, there was a vibration behind him, and he hurriedly looked, only to see hundreds of soldiers and horses rushing here, wearing their own uniforms, it seemed that reinforcements had arrived.

Li Yuan saw it, and the others naturally saw it, and their morale was greatly boosted, while on the other hand, the enemy's movements became stagnant, fortunately, they had the advantage before, and although they panicked at the moment, they immediately stabilized.

Li Yuan chopped one person to death, and when this army of soldiers and horses got closer, he found that it was not someone else, but Ma Teng.

Li Yuan was overjoyed at first, but Ma Teng's face was cold, as if he was covered with a layer of frost, and he secretly screamed: "Ma Teng shouldn't have rebelled, right?" ”

As if to confirm his guess, Ma Teng slashed the big knife in his hand at his soldiers, and this slash, as if he did not show his ability, immediately swung three more knives, killing four people in an instant.
