Chapter 819: Dou Jiande's counterattack

Xue Shixiong had already ridden his horse to the front of the cart formation at this time, and the infantry behind him were cleaning up the corpses and dead horses in front of him, and the cart formation was also pulled back, the infantry dodged a passage, and thousands of ironclad cavalry were constantly pouring in from between the cracks, forming a triangular assault cavalry formation behind Xue Shixiong.

Xue Wanshu rode in front of Xue Shixiong and arched his hand towards Xue Shixiong: "Father, the last general's 1,000 elite horsemen in the camp have come to serve." ”

Xue Shixiong nodded: "Very good, now your three brothers have gone around to the rear of the Turkic cavalry, at this time presumably the Turks will desperately break through, you now lead the cavalry to attack them fiercely from the rear, don't ask to kill many people, just disrupt the formation of the Turks, and rush back and forth to kill." ”

Xue Wanshu bowed his hand energetically: "The last general will listen to the order!" ”

Xue Shixiong turned his head to a mighty officer on the right and said, "Are you Dou Jiande, the brigade commander of the Flying Bears?" ”

Under an all-metal helmet, a swarthy face with Chinese characters was raised, full of beard, and his eyes were blazing, could it be Dou Jiande, a powerful man in Hebei?

Dou Jiande smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards Xue Shixiong: "Dashuai, the villain is Dou Jiande, waiting for your dispatch." ”

Since Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong met in Hebei a few years ago, Dou Jiande, who has received a steady stream of financial support from Wang Shichong, has quickly become a climate in the Gaojibo area, and in just two years, he has become a well-deserved hegemon in southern Hebei by virtue of his already very loud name and generous shots, and even in turn the forces of Wang Xuba, Wei Dao'er, and Song Jingang, who have been against him, have been driven far away to the southern grassland of Daibei. Wait until the last year of Renshou when the Daxing Palace changed. Dou Jiande personally brought more than 3,000 subordinates to help. Among Wang Shichong's allies, it belongs to the most roads.

But it was precisely because the matter of Daxingcheng was too big last time, after Dou Jiande returned to Hebei, he also felt that he was targeted by the government, he has always been a person who is very good at judging the situation and sizing up the situation, seeing that the world has not yet reached the time of chaos, he disbanded most of his subordinates, even with core subordinates like Sun Anzu, he will no longer interact with him for the time being. And he himself took advantage of the official army to crusade against Yang Liang, when he was recruiting troops in Hebei, he invested in Xue Shixiong's army, and his superb martial arts and bold character soon stood out in the army, and in just two or three years, he went from a small soldier to a brigade commander who could lead two hundred people, and even Xue Shixiong praised him many times and paid tribute to him.

Xue Shixiong nodded, pointed to the three miles ahead, and pointed at his side with his bow and arrows. The Turkic cavalry, who was slowly retreating, said, "Brigade Marshal Dou, you are with General Xue." Lead the cavalry, kill from behind, I have 1,500 cavalry here, temporarily under your command, remember, don't care about the number of kills, charge towards the position of the enemy's main general, break up their formation, disrupt their command, understand? ”

Dou Jiande smiled slightly: "The villain understands, it's just that the villain is just a brigade commander of two hundred people, and it will be difficult to convince the public by commanding your guards cavalry unit at once, so please choose another good general!" ”

When Xue Shixiong appointed Dou Jiande to command all the cavalry just now, Xue Wanshu's face was gloomy all the time, and when he heard this, Xue Wanshu couldn't help but speak: "Father, the child is willing to lead the iron cavalry to charge!" ”

Xue Shixiong's face sank, and he said angrily: "This is the battlefield, the words of this commander are military orders, which round will get you to talk too much, and you will not retreat!" ”

Xue Wanshu saw that his father was angry, so he had to keep silent, Xue Shixiong turned to Dou Jiande, and said with a smile: "Dou Brigade Marshal, it's okay, on the battlefield, as the commander, no one dares to disobey the orders I gave as the commander, you can rest assured that leading the army is, remember, break through the enemy formation as quickly as possible, you don't have to chase and kill the fleeing enemy, you only need to kill or capture the enemy's commander, and cut down the golden wolf banner!" ”

Dou Jiande didn't say much, saluted to Xue Shixiong, turned around and ran to the front of the cavalry, a standard-bearer followed him closely, holding high a big flag with the word Xue, seeing the flag in the army is like seeing the handsome, Xue Shixiong's handsome flag is the right he gave Dou Jiande the right to command, the team and the brigade commanders saw Dou Jiande rushing to the front, they were a little surprised at first, but as soon as they saw the big flag also coming, they sat up straight, held their breath, and listened to Dou Jiande's order in front of the battle.

Xue Shixiong coldly watched Dou Jiande gallop back and forth in front, while boosting morale, while issuing orders, and finally took the lead, leading 1,500 armored horsemen to the opposite Turks and began to charge, Xue Wanshu arched his hand towards Xue Shixiong: "Father, the last general is also going!" With that, he reined in the reins of his horse and prepared to attack.

Xue Shixiong shook his head: "You wait a minute, don't worry, wait for Dou Jiande to break through the enemy formation, and then step forward to seize the battle merits and harvest the head of the enemy army, understand?" ”

Xue Wanshu's eyes widened, this was the first time that the four of them followed their father to the battlefield, and they thought that they could just indulge in killing the enemy, but they didn't expect that now that victory was in sight, Xue Shixiong talked about this first-level matter.

Xue Shixiong looked at his son with a confused face, and sighed: "Wan Shu, what you bring are our Xue family's own troops and private soldiers, these credits must not be taken up by outsiders, the ones killed in the camp in front are just the rangers of the servant tribe, and this time it is the most elite cavalry of the crossbow tribe, and the armor obtained can top two or three of those ordinary cavalry, and now they are desperately trying to break through, it is very dangerous to go up now, let Dou Jiande rush like this first, and let the enemy use all his strength to resist Dou Jiande, When you're almost done, you can go up and collect your heads. ”

Xue Wanshu shook her head: "But father, the three brothers are still fighting for their lives in front, and the child really can't be so cold now." ”

Xue Shixiong sighed: "There is no shortage of thousands of people like you, they want to withstand the breakthrough of the enemy army head-on, there is no way to do it, and although the soldiers they bring are my subordinates, after all, they are the soldiers of the country, but the people under you are our Xue family's own troops, and it is a loss to die, understand?" ”

Xue Wanshu gritted her teeth: "When will that kid attack?" ”

Xue Shixiong smiled slightly, looked at Dou Jiande, who had been wedged into the Turkic cavalry formation like a sharp knife in the distance, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Wait until they fight for more than a dozen rounds, and then they will talk about it when they are tired." ”

Igo Castle. Captain Kuzhen Tutun and Rikerha. More than a thousand cavalry had been assembled under the West City. All of them were one person and two horses, and the shouting and killing outside the city shook the sky, but Kuzhen Tutun didn't have any intention to take a look, looking at the calm and wide street in front of him, he took a deep breath, and was about to give the order, but he heard Rikerha on the side whisper: "Lord Tutun, the reinforcements outside the city seem to have arrived." Shall we open the gates of the city and kill them from the inside out? ”

Kuzhen Tutun waved his hand: "We have too few people to help much, go out from the south gate first, and meet with the Yibi military division, if you want to help, you can still go around half a circle and meet General Mohe." ”

He raised his voice and shouted with a full sense of energy: "Turkic warriors, let's go out of the city!" ”

More than a thousand Tutun Guards. More than 2,000 horses kicked up a cloud of dust in the city of Iwu. The galloping horses swept by, and the wind brought up some of the people who wanted to see what was happening outside, and the windows that had just been opened were slammed shut, and along the way, the houses were forcibly closed and closed by the strong wind, and those frightened people only heard the sound of horses' hooves outside like thunder, and they didn't know whether it was their own side or the enemy army, so they could only gather together as a family, keep chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, praying that they could escape this catastrophe.

Kuzhen Tutun quickly led people to the vicinity of the royal palace in the center of the city, and the gates were opened, but the guards at the gate were nowhere to be seen, his brows furrowed, and he scolded: "Bastard, why is there no one to guard the palace!" ”

Rikerha on the side hurriedly said: "It turns out that the soldiers of the Iwu Kingdom who are guarding outside the palace are probably in the front, so they transferred everyone to meet the battle." By the way, there are fifty of our brothers in the palace, do you want to take them with you? ”

Kuzhen Tutun gritted his teeth: "It's too late, may the wolf god bless Hua Mu'er's flying wolf team, let's go!" ”

More than a thousand Turkic cavalry quickly turned to the south here, swept by like a gust of wind, and waited until the last war horse ran out of more than thirty steps, and only then did Shan Xiongxin, who was wearing a full set of Yiwu armor and military uniforms and a helmet with a nose shield slot, flash out behind the gate of the palace, and coldly watched Kuzhen Tutun's subordinates pass in front of him, and the two soldiers on one side said: "The second master (the family members of Wang Shichong's mansion, used to call Shan Xiongxin the second master, called Zhang Jin called the uncle), in the past, it seemed that he was a Turkic leader with a wolf flag, Shall we beat him up? If you capture the enemy general, it will be much more credit than saving the king of Iwu! ”

Shan Xiongxin spat on the ground: "It's a pity that there is not a single horse in this palace, these damned Turks, for fear of the hostages escaping, don't even leave a horse, as long as they can get on the horse, even if there are only five hundred people, I, Shan Xiongxin, have the confidence to capture this Kuzhen Tutun, alas!" ”

A soldier looked at his own military uniform and muttered: "This dress is so loose, the knife is still bent, how can you fight!" It's not even easy to list the long lance array, second master, or let's change our own guys. ”

Shan Xiongxin kicked the mouthy soldier fiercely: "The formation is useless, what we want now is to be able to quietly approach the Turks, and then attack in one fell swoop to save the king!" Ali Ali Prime Minister, now that the palace has been charged to us, I will leave a hundred people here to guard and protect the queen and princess, and the rest of the people will follow you to the king of Turpan. ”

Ali Baba is no longer dressed as the businessman just now, but changed back to the clothes of the prime minister, and the whole person seems to be much more energetic, after hearing Shan Xiongxin's words, he hurriedly said: "Then let's go quickly." ”

In the direction of the east gate of Iwu City, on the widest King's Avenue in the center, on the street seven or eight feet wide, there are a large number of woods, most of which are the doors and windows of the houses that have been demolished on this street, and they are piled up in the middle of the street, and more than 30 soldiers of the Iwu Kingdom are throwing hay and pouring fire oil on these door panels, standing behind them, more than 50 soldiers with torches, standing silently. On both sides of the street, hundreds of people of the Iwu Kingdom were crying and kneeling on the ground, blocked by a wall of more than 100 soldiers, who spread their hands and kowtowed, hoping that the king would open the net and stop burning their furniture, doors and windows.

"Your Majesty, Merciful King, we are your most faithful people, you have burned our doors and windows, and your furniture has been burned, how can we live!"

"Yes, it's windy in this desert, there are no doors and windows, and there is a mouthful of sand for eating, Your Majesty the King, you can do it well, and leave us a home that can block the wind."

"Your Majesty, my bed has been thrown over, you have burned this fire, where do you want me to sleep at night!"

The king of Turpan, who was riding on a yellow horse, looked at the people around him, and sighed, and the soldiers who raised the fire also had tears in their eyes, and lowered their heads one by one, they are also the children of these people in the city, some of them are on this street, and they see that their belongings are taken out and piled here, how can they not be heartbroken?

Riding a tall horse, Hua Mu'er, who was standing beside the king of Turpan, frowned, rode out, and shouted at these people: "You ignorant fools, what do you know? The Sui army has already entered the city, if you don't set fire to stop it, you would have come in and looted all your property, and you won't even be left with your life, do you hear the screams in front, that is, the Sui army is killing on a large scale, we burn some doors, windows and furniture, just to fight for time for reinforcements to come, don't get out of the way quickly! ”

Several people shouted loudly: "I can't believe the words of these Turks, our Yiwu City has offended the Great Sui because of these Turks, I just saw Kuzhen Tutun run away by himself, so I left us to die in the city, Your Majesty, you must not fall for the Turks again!" You can't take us to death! ”

Hua Mu'er's eyes flashed with murder, and with a wave of his hand, several wolf-like Turkic guards rushed forward, grabbed the few people who had just spoken, and were about to drag them out, and the people around them grabbed these guards one after another, preventing them from arresting people, and the anxious Turkic guards raised their horsewhips and pumped them randomly, and the scene was chaotic.

The king of Turpan frowned, turned his head to Hua Mu'er and said, "Captain Hua, is Lord Tutun really gone?" ”

Hua Mu'er suddenly pulled out the scimitar on his waist and shouted: "Regardless of whether Lord Tutun leaves or not, the order I received is to stay here, protect His Majesty the King, and set fire to stop the attack of the Sui army!" ”

The king of Turpan turned pale with fright, nodded again and again, and at this moment, Ali Baba's voice came from behind: "Your Majesty the King, Captain Hua, I have brought reinforcements to help in the battle!" (To be continued......)
