Chapter 198: From a Long Song, Brothers Have Righteousness and Shake the Nine Heavens (1)
The Yellow Turbid River, which flows through the city of Luodu, roars and rushes, and suddenly a huge turbid wave surges, slamming into a boulder in the river that has stood for an unknown number of years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info On the surface of this boulder, there is nothing left of the bare and smooth that has been washed away by the river, but it still stands there, resolute and unyielding, and would rather die than take half a step back.
"Kill! Fight to the death! After fighting for a long time, Li Shiluan's voice was already hoarse, and he used this hoarse voice to shout out the military order to fight to the death. With this roar, Li Shiluan slashed his hand, and used the long knife in his hand to split the oncoming Tuliao cavalry company with men and horses, and split it in half.
At this moment, Li Shiluan was standing at the front and middle of his black-armored long knife battalion, becoming the mainstay of the entire military formation. Countless Tuliao cavalry rushed towards him, trying to capture the thief and capture the king, but they were all cut by him with one sword. The main general of his own family is not afraid of death, which also greatly stimulates the morale of a group of black-armored long-sword elite soldiers, and all the soldiers have shouted a fierce battle, fighting with more and more Tuliao cavalry. I have to say that Li Shiluan, a black-armored long-sword soldier, is really good at dealing with cavalry in close combat. The long knives in their hands, close to a battle, and a single knife chop, contain huge power, and can often split the Tuliao cavalry with a single sword.
With a neat military formation, the black armor long knife battalion danced up and down with the giant blades in its hands, crushing wave after wave of attacks of the Liao elite cavalry. After fighting for half an hour, he still resisted the attack of the Tuliao cavalry and refused to take half a step back.
The reason why Li Shiluan fought so desperately with the Tuliao cavalry today was mainly because he stood at the head of the city that day and watched the Dingbei garrison regiment in the northwest of Luodu City, attacking 3,000 Tuliao cavalry head-on with 1,000 cavalry, and winning the battle, after a hearty victory in which they were completely annihilated. Li Shiluan's heart rose with an irrepressible heroic feeling, and he intuitively felt that "the big husband should be like this, he should fight to the death, and the horse leather shroud!" Now it makes sense to stay in the city all day long. ”
And Li Shiluan dared to fight with the Tuliao cavalry like this, obviously he also had a certain amount of confidence, and he was not completely unprepared.
After the war, Li Sinai expanded his black-armored long-knife battalion to 5,000 men, and equipped him with a complete set of brand-new black steel Mingguang armor and a special long-knife battalion. But the biggest beneficiary is still his eldest brother Li Xinxiao, Li Sinai redistributed equipment to his eldest son's Flying Tiger Battalion, not to mention, and allowed him to directly expand the army to 20,000. After hearing the news, Li Shiluan's heart, which was warm because of his father's rich reward, went cold again. In Li Sinai's heart, of course, merit should be rewarded, but the stable inheritance of the family, the order of the young and the old, is still an unchanging iron law.
And the reason why Li Shiluan took the initiative to take over the task of nine deaths this time was also because he wanted to say goodbye to his eldest brother. He knew that if he didn't make great achievements for the family, in his father's heart, he might not be able to surpass the status of the eldest brother in his life. After all, it is determined by the etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the inheritance of the elder is an insurmountable barrier.
As for whether this mission is a life of nine deaths, or even ten deaths, Li Shiluan does not care too much. If it is something that is both safe and can make meritorious contributions, where will it be his turn, his father will definitely instruct his eldest brother in advance to take the initiative to snatch this kind of good deed. Li Shiluan knows that if he wants to increase the weight in his father's heart, he must be able to do what others can't, and for this, it is worth taking a big risk. Li Shiluan believes that when a husband is born in troubled times, he should make immortal achievements, and if he can only be subservient to others for the rest of his life, it is better to die happily.
Facing the surging Tuliao cavalry, Li Shiluan was not panicked, and even a little excited. In Li Shiluan's heart, he admires the founding ancestor of the Pingzhou Dynasty the most, the eldest husband was born in troubled times, when he personally lifted the three-foot Qingfeng, swept the world, united the world, inherited the will of heaven, and raised the people of Li below, and ascended to the ninth five-year.
Legend has it that at the beginning of the founding of the Ping Zhou Dynasty, there were only less than 100 pikemen, and the generals were just two sworn brothers with different surnames, Cao Shuangmu and Zhao Shichu. However, in less than 20 years, Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty swept away hundreds of princes of all sizes in the world and established a huge empire with a vast territory, far exceeding that of the previous generations.
Li Shiluan's hands loosened slightly, allowing himself to relax before the next batch of Tuliao cavalry came over. Immediately, he clenched the long knife in both hands, and his mind began to churn in his mind, six hundred years ago, the glorious record of the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty defeating the strong with the weak. "Pingzhou Taizu is a big husband, and I am also a dignified seven-foot man, why can't I be like him, establish an immortal career, and let future generations sigh and admire. When there were less than 1,000 soldiers in Pingzhou, Taizu would wear bamboo armor, so he dared to fight 100,000 rebels head-on and defeated them. Now that I have 5,000 black-armored long knife elites under my command, and the equipment is far better than that of Ping Zhou Taizu at the beginning of the army, why not be afraid of the 60,000 Tuliao cavalry in front of me! Li Shiluan thought about it, cheered himself up, waved his knife and threw himself into the fierce life-and-death struggle.
For Li Shiluan, a benevolent brother, I just want to say that your ideals are very plump, but the reality is very skinny. Pingzhou Founding Ancestor, people came to this world with a hanging! That Taizu, whether it is governing the army, or fighting, or even engaging in the economy, his concept has surpassed this era by many steps. He won more battles with less, relying on the military training methods that transcended the times, the iron-blooded discipline, the blood-infused military soul, and the fanatical worship of Taizu by his soldiers, and the power of faith generated from it. In the later period, Taizu mastered a lot of resources, and the weapons and equipment of the generals under his command were even more unbeatable in the world. I don't see the plate armor, which has been handed down to this day, still shining, the steel armor is stainless steel, and the defensive power far exceeds all the armor now.
From 600 years ago to the present, not to mention anything else, the art of forging weapons and armor left by the founding ancestor of the Ping Zhou Dynasty has almost all been lost. The method of training soldiers has long been close to being lost, and only in the Weibei camp, a little bit of the most basic things are left. There are none of these things, you Li Shiluan just rely on his enthusiasm, you want to defeat the strong with the weak and defeat the Tuliao people? You think you're the main character! Young man, your thinking is very dangerous, and I, who have read countless novels, are here to tell you my real experience. It's not the protagonist, but I have the protagonist's dream, and the end is generally miserable. Sooner or later, I won't be able to put on a pen, but I will be slapped in the face by the protagonist.
Sure enough, after half an hour of fierce fighting, as the Tuliao cavalry charged up in waves, Li Shiluan's black-armored long sword soldiers gradually lost more. Because every wave of cavalry charged up, it could fire three rounds of arrows. Although Li Shiluan's black-armored long-knife battalion was elite, they were all infantry, and they had to be in formation before the battle, and it was difficult to move, and if the formation was loosened by the movement, in an instant, I was afraid that it would be completely overwhelmed by the Tuliao cavalry.
The initiative on the entire battlefield is now completely in the hands of the Tuliao cavalry. The Tuliao cavalry could rush up in waves and release three rounds of arrows on the way.
Although Li Shiluan's black-armored long sword soldiers are everyone's armor, they are not the kind of full-covered plate armor, and they only wear ordinary black steel Mingguang armor. This armor is not so strong against bows and arrows. If the density of the arrow rain is large enough, it is easy to shoot into the gap between the armor blades on the armor, or even directly through the weak points of the armor blades, thus causing puncture damage. What's more, after getting rich in the past few years, the arrows of the Tuliao people began to use all steel as arrows, and in order to enhance the armor-piercing effect, the arrows are often heavier. Although the horse bow of the Tuliao people has a small pulling force, with the speed of the galloping horse, the arrow is still extremely fast, and the attached force is enough to pierce the armor of the Li family's Mingguang armor.
The most lethal was the third wave of arrows shot by a wave of cavalry, which was mixed with a large number of "exploding arrows". After this round of "explosive arrows", Li Shiluan's 5,000 black-armored long sword soldiers were directly killed by 20%, and 1,000 people fell to the ground forever. Fortunately, the Tuliao people had already rushed close at this time, and there was no time to shoot the fourth round of arrows, otherwise Li Shiluan's soldiers would really be unable to withstand it.
The cavalry of the Tuliao people guarding the vicinity of the five stone cannons was 15,000 cavalry, led by the commander of the Western Route Army, Ashina Blackback. At this moment, the Tuliao people sent 10,000 cavalry to besiege Li Shiluan's black-armored longsword battalion, and the other 5,000 cavalry were kept as reserves, guarding the road to the stone cannon. After the siege battle these days, more than half of the 10,000 cannon fodder infantry given by Shimaizhou were lost, and Ashina Blackback also placed them near the slope of the hill where the stone cannons were erected, and let them temporarily take charge of guarding the stone cannons.
Even if the damage was heavy, even if the number of people in Tuliao was twice as large as his own, Li Shiluan's black-armored long knife battalion still resisted it and did not take half a step back. This black-armored long-knife battalion is worthy of being the elite infused by Li Shiluan's painstaking efforts, and it is in close contact with the Tuliao cavalry, and after heavy losses, it can still burst out with strong combat power. The remaining long knife soldiers, holding a giant blade that was more than one battle long, followed closely the movements of Li Shiluan, the main general of the front row, and slashed up and down together, and the long knife soldiers lined up in two rows instantly returned the color to the Tuliao cavalry, and only this wave of battles killed and wounded more than 500 Tuliao cavalry.
Today, this Tuliao cavalry is also the first time to understand the power of the black-armored long sword soldiers. They had never fought with the black-armored longsword soldiers before, so they still used the same old tactics, shooting three waves of arrows first, and the third wave mixed with a large number of "explosive arrows", causing huge damage to the enemy formation in a short period of time, and then the cavalry rushed directly up, disrupting the enemy's formation. All that remained was the horse chasing the fleeing two-legged sheep.
However, today, they met a different army of soldiers and horses, an iron army that fought to the death, and a heroic division that stood in the front row, dared to die first, and took the lead. After these two years, Li Shiluan finally cultivated the Iron Arm General Energy, which is the second most difficult to practice among the five general abilities of the five general realms, and the first difficult to practice is the Vajra general energy. However, after the cultivation of this iron arm ability, the benefits are also extremely obvious, the strength of the arms is infinite, and it is as strong as cast iron, which is most suitable for battlefield combat. Therefore, after many generals enter the Juwu Tong Realm, they will choose to cultivate this kind of general energy first.
At this moment, Li Shiluan, who was wielding a long knife, was standing in the center and front of his array. The Li family's black-armored long sword soldiers were not lined up in two rows, but in two rows in the shape of """. Standing in the middle of the array, Li Shiluan became the sharpest tip of the long knife battalion and the core of the military soul of the whole army.
Li Shiluan pursed his lips tightly, and waved his long knife vigorously with both arms, slashing the waves of Tuliao cavalry that rushed towards him into two ends and cutting off the horse's head. The long knife weighing 20 catties specially made by the skilled craftsmen of the Li family, in his hands, was as light as nothing, and became a terrifying blade for harvesting the Tuliao cavalry.
The corpses of the Tuliao cavalry who gradually died at his feet had been stacked in a thick layer. Wave after wave of the Tuliao people kept charging towards the black-armored long knife battalion, trying to tear apart the thin two sword formations. However, the Black Armor Long Knife Battalion is like a flat boat in the waves, although it is crumbling, it just refuses to capsize; It is like a stubborn stone, let you storm the waves, I have been standing there, resisting the endless offensive of the Tuliao cavalry.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting between the two armies, the Tuliao people found that this Long Sword Army, which had suffered nearly half of the casualties, was not defeated, but became more and more courageous.
At this time, the commander of the Western Route Army, Ashina Blackback, who had been watching the battle from behind, could no longer hold back, he had just lost 3,000 cavalry a few days ago, and if he continued to fight like this today, he would have to kill and wound more than 3,000 cavalry.
Commander Ashina Blackback decisively sounded the horn of the retreating bull and recalled the Tuliao cavalry who were fighting fiercely ahead. He decided to use the "Explosive Arrow" again, in order to crush the crumbling but stubborn battle of the long-sword army in front of him, which would never fall.
After Li Wushu heard the retreating horn, he knew that the time had come, and rushed out directly with the Xuanjia cavalry from the side. Li Wushu spared no effort to increase the speed of the horse directly, in order to approach the foot of the hill where the stone cannons were placed before the Tuliao people could react.
At the same time, in the battalion of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, Li Deyi received the latest military information sent by the sentinel near Luodu City.
"What!? Not good! Li Deyi exclaimed in surprise, flew out, and before he had time to gather the cavalry, he flew and jumped on the "Humvee" and rushed out, heading straight for the battlefield west of Luodu City.
