Chapter 219: Bloody Frontier

The Tang army has fallen into a bitter battle from the beginning, if the cavalry can't run, it will lose its greatest role, and the current situation is that this team of nearly 3,000 people can't move at all, and they are trapped in a small place and shoot in turn with rain-like arrows, although designed by Yanglin, the paper armor of the 10,000 cavalry army made by Guyue Daowen is already very comprehensive in defense, but it is impossible to fully defend all parts, and the tiny gap between the armor and the armor may be enlarged in the movement, and there is a possibility of being hit by the flow of disease, From time to time, there were screams from the sergeants who had fallen from their horses, and the speed of their advance, less than two meters per breath, was slower than that of the infantry.

Hou Junji already regretted not listening to Xue Rengui's construction at this time, first sent people to dismount and fight, rushed into the trap belt to clear the obstacles, but unfortunately it is too late to regret now, flying arrows are like rain, whoever gets off the horse now and falls behind, it is a certain death, and they drove the empty horse in front, crashed into and filled in the trap belt at the beginning, and now they have broken into the center of the trap belt, there are traps on three sides, and on the way, there are about 500 heavy cavalry equipped with iron armor to block their way, paper armor is paper armor after all, It is impossible to compete with the real iron armor, five hundred heavy cavalry is already the family foundation that Gai Su Yuanwen will not take out when he sees the victory, and there are tens of thousands of light cavalry squeezed behind these iron armor heavy banners, it seems that unless these iron armor can be split, it is impossible to return the same way, Hou Junji does not have the confidence to fight hard with the iron armor heavy cavalry under the rain of arrows, so he can only wade through the trap belt in front of him.

Looking at the trap belt in such a large area in front of him, Hou Junji knew that he had fallen for Gai Su Yuanwen, and he had been concentrating manpower to arrange the area in front of him from the beginning, otherwise how could he have been able to make so many fences and dig so many traps in one day.

Caught in a heavy siege, only to fight to the death, I saw Hou Jun riding a white horse in front of the formation, so that the two sides of the sky painted halberds, a halberd provoked more than two meters in front of him. The fence bound by multiple rows of log spikes, the halberd body swinged, the wooden fence weighing 100 catties was thrown out a few meters away, and smashed heavily on the ground, and the ground that seemed to be overgrown with weeds fell into it under this smash, and it was a long and wide trap arranged by the Goryeo army, under the trap, the sharp penny spikes were erected, and it was conceivable that people or horses would fall into it. It must be dead, and it cannot die again.

The young general riding the white horse was Xue Rengui, smashed open a trap, he did not stop, the reins of the horse in his hand were lifted, the white horse rushed forward a few steps and jumped up, and jumped over the trap ditch with a long rise, and the halberd was picked again, and a row of fences on the other side of the trap was picked up and thrown out by him, and smashed into the next trap. In this way, two or three times, he was hit again and again, exposing those traps, and the rear went around to keep up with the general of the Ten Thousand Cavalry. Holding a long weapon also began to follow suit, although he did not hit the trap every time like him, but he also hit it from time to time, so that the speed of the army through the trap belt was much faster.

The screams of the 10,000-strong cavalry sergeants falling from their horses or falling into traps were heard endlessly. The number of the entire team was constantly decreasing, and even Hou Junji, who was the main general, was unfortunately hit by an arrow, which pierced into his arm through the crack in his paper armor. But fortunately, the generals of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army are wearing underwear made of silk, one is to prevent the paper armor from being too hard to wear out the skin, and the other is to prevent the arrow from penetrating the body and difficult to pull out, Hou Junji easily pulled out the arrow and broke it in his hand, the stinging pain made his face have an extra layer of cold sweat, and the blood donation stained the grass-green paper armor, and he was used to the arrow on the battlefield in his early years, and he had silk underwear to protect the body, which was not a big problem, but he didn't know that the arrow in him was shot by Gai Su Yuanwen himself, If he could take a closer look at the arrow, he would find that there was a layer of blue light on it, and the arrow was soaked in poison.

As soon as Gai Su Yuanwen saw that an arrow that he had been accumulating for a long time shot into Hou Junji's body, he was overjoyed, he was hit by a poisoned arrow above the military array, if he ran for a long time, he would definitely die, and the main general was injured, and the army's heart would inevitably be in chaos, even if they paid a heavy price to rush out of the trap area, they could not escape far, you know, the poison he applied may not be fatal, but it will definitely be unconscious, can not be controlled, and the Tang army commander who wants to die with half his life is what he wants the most.

The cold sweat on Hou Junji's head became more and more, and his body began to become numb, He Peng and several other lieutenants who were guarding his side were anxious when they saw this, and they had already expected that the arrow that hit the general might not be simple, and shouted loudly and stepped forward to protect the main general, He Peng stretched out his hand and dragged Hou Junji to his horse, because he was closest to Hou Junji, he already felt that something was wrong, and General Hou seemed to be about to fall off his horse.

At this moment, the Goryeo heavy cavalry, which had been following the rear of the Tang army, rushed up to the Tang army under the order of Gai Su Yuanwen. ”

Hou Junji was unconscious, and the three captains present were naturally headed by He Peng, it seemed that He Peng had received the easiest task, but in fact, in ancient times, the two armies faced each other to see the life and death of the main general, and the position of the main general was always the most fierce position of the enemy's attack, when He Peng dragged Hou Junji onto his war horse, the arrows of the Goryeo army began to shoot at him, and the ten thousand cavalry were not afraid of hard battles at all, even if it was the ironclad heavy cavalry that rushed over, Wang Duwei and Zhang Duwei got the order, With a loud shout, he led his headquarters to kill the Goryeo heavy cavalry that rushed over, and he was already in a posture of going and not returning.

"Hiss"

A long neighing sound of a war horse sounded on the battlefield, only to see Xue Rengui's halberd swinging violently, and a pair of front hooves of the white horse under his crotch were raised high, and he kicked over a fence in front of him, and Xue Rengui on horseback was already panting like a cow at this time, and he continuously picked up dozens of hundred and ten pounds of big fences, and most of his strength had been used, but fortunately, he finally broke out of the trap belt with a horse, and cleared a not too wide road for his colleagues behind him.

Tens of thousands of knights rushed out of the trap belt around the trap one after another, but the number was pitiful, until a strong man who was shot like a hedgehog stood out of the trap belt, and the Tang army barely exceeded 1,000 people outside the trap belt.

He Peng took a heavy breath and flipped off the horse, and with him fell off the horse, there was also the unconscious Hou Junji, Xue Rengui, who was the first to rush out of the trap, hurriedly stepped forward to help, He Peng's condition was not very good, several arrows pierced his body through the cracks in the armor, although they were not necessarily very deep, but he had already lost too much blood. It's almost gone.

With cloudy eyes, he looked into the distance at Wang Duwei and Zhang Duwei, who were in charge of the broken queen, He Peng shook his head helplessly and said; "Captain Xue, you are right, we shouldn't all ride into battle, cough cough, Brother Wang and Brother Zhang are all good, but it's a pity that they can't come back, and I'm about to die, cough cough, the general is already in a coma. I can't do anything, I have the highest rank in my army here, and now I appoint you as the temporary commander of this army, responsible for bringing the general and the rest of my brothers back, ahem, the general can't die here, you must bring him back"

He Peng coughed up blood while explaining, and Xue Rengui looked at him carefully. It was found that an arrow on the side of the waist penetrated through the cracks in the paper armor, which had already penetrated He Peng's internal organs, and he didn't think that He Duwei, who was still arguing with him during the day about how to command the battle, died at night.

Xue Rengui exhaled a breath of turbidity and was very sad, but now was not the time for him to be sad. The general was in a coma, Wang Duwei and Zhang Duwei were killed in battle, and He Duwei also lost his breath, and the scene was the highest rank of Xue Rengui's first lieutenant. There was also the appointment of Captain He Du before his death, and everyone no longer had any doubts about Xue Rengui's command, and personally tied He Peng's body to the back of the horse he was riding. Xue Rengui tied the unconscious Hou Junji to his horse and turned over on his horse, at this moment, the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army who were still alive in the trap belt had already run out and gathered here, and Gai Su Yuanwen had already led the Goryeo light cavalry from both wings to spare the trap belt and surround the Tang Army Ten Thousand Cavalry Legion led by Xue Rengui.

"Gear up, get on the horse, who are we?"

"Datang Wanqi."

"What's our slogan?"

"Lao Tzu is invincible in the world."

"The whole army listened to the order, centered on the invincible battalion, lined up in a rapid formation, and assaulted."

Xue Rengui raised the halberd in his hand and shouted to the soldiers, and issued a military order to attack in a rapid formation.

"It's just a dying struggle."

Gai Su Yuanwen said contemptuously, just now, he received a battle report from the heavy banner team, the assault force led by five hundred ironclad heavy cavalry, but more than two hundred cavalry led by the Tang army led by two captains killed and injured more than 200 people, this is equivalent to half of his heavy cavalry troops, and he felt sorry for him, but until now, he still didn't think how strong the Tang army itself was, and he attributed the reason why the Tang army was able to achieve such results on their equipment, and in his eyes, The value of the paper armor is completely equal to the iron armor, and if he has 3,000 iron horses in his hand, he must be the one who has the final say.

"Stepping into battle."

Xue Rengui as the front of the front formation, the first to engage the enemy, in his hand, there is no general, just a breath, there are three Goryeo light cavalry off the horse, and the blood on their necks announced their death, although the ten thousand cavalry army has gone through a round of assault and hardship, many people are still wounded, but after a little adjustment, they still slaughtered like wolves and sheep into the battle formation formed by the Goryeo light cavalry.

"All the soldiers come with me, and you must annihilate all these Tang thieves here." Seeing that the Tang army's charge was quite strong, Gai Su Yuanwen waved the long knife in his hand and personally led his most elite guards and generals to kill the Tang army.

Xue Rengui no longer remembered how many Goryeo soldiers he had stabbed to death, anyway, in order to hide his whereabouts, the paper armor dyed dark green had been dyed black by blood, and the burly Hou Junji was placed horizontally in front of him, as if he was bathing with the blood of the enemy army.

"Bang."

An arrow slid past Xue Rengui's ears and almost hit him in the head, but fortunately, an inexplicable warning rose in his heart, and he turned his head, his eyesight was excellent, and as far as he could see, two hundred steps away from him, Gai Su Yuanwen, who was wearing a general, was stretching his bow and arrows.

There are too many people on the battlefield, it is very crowded, even if Gai Su Yuanwen has the intention to kill the enemy in person, it is difficult to break through to the Tang army, which has only more than a thousand people surrounded by regiments, but at a distance of two hundred steps, he already has the ability to shoot, of course, his limit is three hundred steps, which is the standard range of a Condor Player.

"Come and don't be rude! Goryeo stick looking at arrows. Xue Rengui picked off the longbow on Ma Bo, turned around and pulled the bow, and a blood-stained red arrow broke through the air. (To be continued......)
