Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cloud Thunder Soldiers
The next day, the sun rose high, and there seemed to be a layer of mist in the mountain forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info watched a group of people and horses drive down the mountain, like a stream flowing into the sea, and the bottom of the mountain gathered into a sea of soldiers and horses. In the center of this ocean, under a red flag, the high-class golden helmet and golden armor stood on the high chariot, shining golden light under the sun, like the lower realm of the gods. Looking at the admiring gazes of the soldiers around him, Gao Zhili was proud of his strong soldiers.
Looking at the opposite side, there were about 5,000 soldiers and horses in total, and in the middle were the archers who were lining up, and behind the archers were pikemen. There were cavalry on both sides, and the cavalry on the right was holding a knife, which was about 4 feet long, slightly curved, much narrower than an ordinary knife, and laughed in his heart, how can this knife be cut? Look at the left side again, each hand is holding a spear, the gun is very long, I feel that this is still a bit useful. How can it be useful, I have 40,000 horses, and you only have 5,000 horses, how can you be my opponent? It's just that the Pingzhou Army has all the armor of their bodies, covering themselves tightly, and only exposing their two eyes, this is the trouble. As long as I have a lot of people and can fight in close combat, what good are you?
Gao Zhili saw that he had finished the formation, from south to north, the line stretched for several miles, the military flag was unfurled, and the war horse neighed. The same cavalry on both sides, infantry in the middle. Looking at the other side, it seems that small squares are piled up there. Facing their own phalanx of infantry. In the meadow in the east of the city, it is like a tiger encountering a rabbit, and the rabbit does not run away, but has to compete with the tiger. Gao Shili smiled, even if you are tired, you can be tired to death.
Gao Shili raised his long sword and waved it, and the pro-soldiers next to him waved the banner, and the team slowly pressed forward. Li Xiaowu led the cavalry and horses, Wu Kui led the cavalry pikemen, and King Kong now led the infantry in the middle, and also began to move towards the opposite side. The distance is getting closer and closer, and you can see your face clearly.
With only 150 paces to go, King Kong's bow shot an arrow diagonally forward, followed by a "whooshing" sound. The rest of the ranks on the opposite side fell one after another. As the distance drew nearer, the bows and arrows of the rest of the men began to shoot at them, and they had more arrows, and the sky was like a plague of locusts, and the "locusts" pounced excitedly on the silver-white crops, and the result was very disappointed, and they could not move at all, and each fell to the ground, and some of them shot at the horses, and the horses could not stop crying.
Wu Kui raised his gun and shouted: "Rush." In the lead, the spear fired the bow and arrow, bowed up, lowered his head, and peeked ahead from time to time. Less than 50 paces away, under Pegasus, in the blink of an eye, the opponent's archer was taking out the bow and arrow from the quiver, and Wu Kui had already picked up the big gun and used it as a stick. Swing to the left, fall a row on the left, sweep to the right, and lie down on the right. Behind Wu Kui, the pikes followed closely, they raised their spears, pointed at the enemy's chest, stabbed forward, twisted their wrists to the right, and pierced the enemies in front of them one by one, and then twisted their wrists to the left, took advantage of the horse's momentum, pulled out their spears, and galloped forward again with the blood-dripping spears. Wu Kui opened the way in front, and the people behind expanded their results, as if boiling water had been watered in the snow. It's just that this stream of boiling water is like a big arrow, with a sharp open road in front and more and more boiling water in the back, splashing on the surrounding snow. It's just that where the snow melts, corpses are everywhere, blood is flowing, the grass is no longer green, and flies are beginning to buzz.
Seeing that Wu Kuiwei was invincible, Li Xiaowu swung his sword and rushed into the enemy formation from the right. The cavalry behind followed behind, raising their sabers and rushing in.
Gao Zhili, who was standing on the cart and watching the battle, saw a cavalry pikemen team kill his infantry team, stirring up chaos in the team, and his own people went immediately, and before they touched the Pingzhou military horses, their spears had already stabbed people. It seems that his weapon is too short, but it would be nice if it was longer. Seeing that his infantry was beaten a little chaotic, fortunately, there were a total of 30,000 infantry, and now they only encountered the Pingzhou soldiers in the corner in front, but these people in the back had nothing to do. He was thinking about it, his dog plus, the officer in charge of the dog, was also a general, in charge of the infantry team. Urgently send men from behind to surround this group, so that this group is surrounded by enemies, and see how you move. Seeing Goujia waving the black flag, waves rose behind the infantry team like calm water, waves of people rushed forward, and then a stream of trickles ran towards the front of the team, so as to surround this group of Pingzhou soldiers.
Li Xiaowu used to just think how safe the helmet was, but now he realized how inconvenient it was, his vision could only see the front, and the sides were blurry. He didn't think about anything else, he raised his saber flat and stabbed them out one by one, and when it was really inconvenient to stab, the knife also cut twice. It's really a good knife, the knife in his hand has long been dyed red, but it is still extremely sharp. Just as he was thinking, a yellow-faced general in front of him, full of armor, holding a spear in his hand, stabbed him in the chest. Li Xiaowu pointed at the spear, and with a backhand, the spear turned into a long stick. The general was quick to react, and took the stick in his hand and came to the horse's head. Li Xiaowu pulled the reins with his left hand, the horse turned his head to the left, dodged the stick, and stretched out the saber with his right hand just against the chest of the yellow-faced man. Li Xiaowu no longer hesitated, drew his saber, and continued to kill forward, the saber team behind him was the same as him, with strong full-body armor and extremely sharp sabers, everywhere he went, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, and the enemies fell one by one, and they couldn't get up again.
The pikemen in the back saw that the cavalry in front of them was disturbing the formation, and the enemy who was killed was frightened, holding spears, lining up, checking and filling in the gaps, and seeing that the dead made up for a shot, and several spears that were left alone surrounded at the same time, without giving him any chance.
Gao Zhili saw that the enemy in his infantry team was getting braver and braver, and realized that it was not good, these cavalry against the infantry, and when the infantry bows and arrows failed, it seemed that they were only killed, and there was no chance to fight back. What are so many cavalry left for him, he passed down an order to let the cavalry come, and the infantry here must also get out of the way. Otherwise, the cavalry would not be able to kill them, and their own men and horses would be in a circle outside.
With his order, the red flag waved next to the chariot, and the cavalry waiting on both sides moved, circled around, and came this way. Seeing that it was almost there, suddenly groups of horses flew out of the cavalry ranks, thinking of running on both sides, and some of them saw that they had dropped their cloth bags and thrown them in front of the bravest knights.
Gao Zhili was furious, these cavalry were too hateful, and when they saw that they were on the battlefield, they actually escaped from the battle, and they would be killed when they came back. The most terrible thing is to disturb the morale of the army, disrupt the formation, and frighten the warriors in front. When Gao Zhili was furious, the cloud thunder began to explode, and there were fires everywhere, and loud noises sounded among the cavalry. I don't know how long it rang, Gao Zhili himself was frightened, and several horses in front of his chariot kept jumping in the air, almost overturning him from the chariot. Thinking that his horses were all good, Gao Zhili knew that it was not his own that flew out of the cavalry team just now, but the Pingzhou soldiers, who gave a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Looking at his cavalry in a mess, many of the cavalry fell down, the war horses kept running around, and many cavalry were trampled into bloody mud by the horses. More horses scattered and fled away from the battlefield.
Gao Zhili knew that the opponent had already been prepared, don't look at the lack of people, if there were a few more clouds and thunders, the army's spirit would be scattered. As if to cooperate with him, 10 horses, rushing into the chaotic ranks from behind, dropping some cloth bags, and leaving again. This time, Gao Shili just looked at the 10 horses, how they dropped the cloth bag, and then ran away, without fear or anger.
The thunder sounded again, the black smoke rose again, and finally some of the momentum that wanted to be controlled was completely out of control. War horses, cavalry frightened, not knowing what to do, what to do.
At this time, Li Xiaowu and Wu Kui became more and more courageous, and the enemy's infantry was also frightened, and even lost the courage to counterattack, one by one they became like lambs to be slaughtered, looking at their arrival in horror, and staring blankly at the opponent's swords and guns passing through their bodies.
High class of profits, not good at a glance, so that the whole army must be annihilated, wave the banner, turn the horse's head, and collect the troops. The most difficult battle to command in a war is when the enemy retreats, especially when the enemy's morale is high and his own morale is low. Of course Gao Zhili understands, but he has no other choice, and it is a life to be able to save a life.
As soon as the commander withdrew, the heart of the army was scattered, and the soldiers who were born in Buyeo began to withdraw on the road they came, in order to run faster, the flag was lost, in order to be lighter, the armor was lost, in order not to be burdensome, the wounded did not care, just one word: escape.
Wu Kui and Li Xiaowu, who were killing, saw that the enemy on the opposite side suddenly lost their formation, and they could only deal with them one by one, and more people gave their backs to them. Whether it is Wu Kui or Li Xiaowu, they are a little tired after killing for a long time, and only when there is a fresh force can they expand the results of the battle, otherwise they can only watch the enemy slip away.
They cheered up, gave the order: "Rush", and chased after the enemy's escape path, but these people were all chaotic, and they did not chase and kill a few, so they had no choice but to stop their steps. Maybe they killed too many prisoners yesterday, and not many surrendered today, adding up to a hundred and ten.
Wu Kui and Li Xiaowu ordered the captives to clean up the battlefield, collect the wounded of the pawn and Fuyu, bury the corpses, and collect the frightened war horses and the booty left all over the ground. Checking their losses, there were one hundred and ten wounded, all of whom were hit by heavy objects in the chest, and it was useless through the armor, and dozens of those who died in battle, all of whom were first knocked off by helmets, and then continued to fight, and there was no protection. The enemy actually killed thousands of people, almost all of them were the credit of Wu Kui and Li Xiaowu's cavalry, those thunder throwers were very critical, but the killing and wounding were very limited, the casualties over there were horses frightened, and the most were trampled to death, and there were not many who were really killed.
Of course, Wu Kui and Li Xiaowu will not blame these thunder throwers, on the contrary, they also know how critical the timing of their attack is. They are now in the army, even if you are the commander of the division and the regiment, you have to give face to the company commander who threw the mine, they will always be first-class heroes, even if not a single enemy dies, as long as the enemy's war horse is frightened.
Let's not mention that for now, let's clean up the battlefield and see what we do next. It took an hour to fight the war and two hours to clean up the battlefield before it was cleaned up. Although it was past noon, Wu Kui and Li Xiaowu still had to go back to eat and celebrate.
