Chapter Forty-Six: The Iron-Blooded Zhao Family's Army
There is also a good thing in the Seven Soul Bracelet, which is a set of eighteen small flags, "Mighty King Kong Eighteen Arhat Flags".
This set of small flags is invisible, only He Daxian can see it, and mortals cannot see or perceive it. But if one of the small flags is planted on the head of a cavalryman, the cavalry immediately becomes a "flag soldier".
The Bannerman's ability to charge will be greatly soared, whether it is a man or a horse, his strength will be increased tenfold, his body hardness will be increased by seven times, and his agility will be increased by about double. Eighteen Arhat flags can insert eighteen "flag soldiers", and eighteen "flag soldiers" rush out of the formation, that is simply eighteen small tanks! Rampage fearless, not afraid of knives or arrows, infinite strength, the slightest touch of the enemy will fall apart.
This feeling of invincibility really shouldn't be too cool.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and after the awesomeness, you must pay a huge price. The cavalry becomes a flag soldier, which can only support for about an hour, and after the time passes, it will become invalid, and the whole person will immediately pass out. The cavalry with good physical fitness recuperates for about a year, and it is possible that it will slowly return to normal, and if the body is almost good, it is very likely that he will not be able to sleep from now on. As for the war horse, it is even worse, even if it is a thousand miles of horses, they must foam at the mouth on the spot and die.
The "Mighty King Kong Eighteen Arhat Flag" was originally used to recruit and control ghost soldiers in the underworld, and if it was used in the mortal world, it would actually be equivalent to extracting ten years of life force from the person who was planted the flag and burning it for one hour.
In addition to the "Eighteen Arhat Banners of King Kong" and "Yifeng Blade", which are not from the world, there are also more than a dozen books and a hand towel.
Most of the books are books on religion and ethics in various different worlds collected by He Daxian, and only two of them are martial arts, one is "Qiankun Douqi Golden Spear Technique" and the other is "Secret Needle Assassin Technique".
"Qiankun Douqi Golden Spear" is an intermediate spear practice guide book in the Douqi world, Douqi is not available in this world, but the thirty-six spear techniques in the book with Douqi can be used to learn, anyway, they are all the use of weapons immediately, at least you can improve the riding skills of those cronies under you.
"Secret Needle Assassin Technique" was found by He Daxian from a world where mercenaries were prevalent before, and in that world, a large number of young assassins were trained with this book, using ultra-short weapons such as daggers or hairpins to assassinate VIPs closely, without a trace, as fast as lightning.
Now, there is no doubt that everyone should have thought that the two little girls around He Daxian had something to do.
As for that handkerchief, let's not mention it here, He Daxian will be sad when it comes to it. It was given to him by a female monk who had a crush on him when Lao He was young, who knew that at that time, He Daxian only cared about pretending to be forced, and he didn't have time to pay attention to other people, and when they ran away with another great immortal, he regretted it. This kind of sadistic story will He Daxian tell you? Don't even think about it.
He Ping picked up the handkerchief, and the past came to his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Guest!" ”
Come back to your senses and see that the time is almost up.
"Let's go!"
The army was set up and another round of rapid night marches began.
In normal ancient armies, marching at night was a very difficult military operation, and if you were not careful, your morale would be slackened or you would have the manpower to keep up with it. Not to mention, you have to be on the lookout for enemy raids at night.
However, none of these problems are a problem for He Daxian.
The battle was already won, and everyone's morale was very high. Unlike other armies, they still have meat to eat, and they can also carry meat on their shoulders, smell the meat, and everyone is high-spirited and high-spirited. In the second half of the night, after General Zhao Ergou personally ran out and shot two Khitan scouts, he somehow became interested and began to command the whole army to sing together!
"Sister, you do the bow of the boat, vomit and vomit."
"Brother, I'll go ashore, let's go."
"Affection, love, love, rope, swing, yoyo."
Although the content was vulgar, the soldiers sang very happily and hoarsely.
The Khitan scouts and the Shuozhou scouts heard it from afar, and their faces were so frightened that they were colorless.
This Nima's morale is too high.
Singing a song during the march can relieve fatigue and boost morale, which was not the theory in ancient times. Once again, Ho Tai Sin used advanced scientific knowledge.
Walking all the way, singing all the way, crossing an undercurrent area at the head of the kiln, the whole brigade crossed the Hui River and continued to move along the foot of the mountain.
When it was dawn, they approached Yangfangkou.
Yangfangkou is a very important strategic punch in history, and it is also a Y-shaped three-pronged mouth.
The north leads to the four states of Yunying Huanshuo, the south leads to Ningwuguan, and the west leads to Biguan and Lanzhou. In the Song Dynasty, the Yang family general was stationed here, controlled the Yanmen Pass in the east, pointed to the head pass in the west, and even garrisoned the army here and built a large fortress, and also built the Great Wall, which is commonly known as the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty in Shanxi.
However, in the post-Tang Dynasty, because of the sparse number of residents nearby, no checkpoints had been built at this time, and there were no garrisons.
During the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, in order to prevent the invasion of the northern nomads, the Central Plains government only invested troops at the two passes of Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass, which can be regarded as someone guarding the border. In fact, it can only stop the stragglers who fight in the grass valley, once the people start to invade on a large scale, there is basically no one who can hold it.
"Continue for ten miles, and rest after going up the mountain!"
"Report to the general, the Khitan cavalry is chasing after you."
He Ping quickly patted the horse and ran to the back of the team, stopped the horse and looked into the distance.
On the northern horizon, large clouds of smoke and dust were everywhere, and thousands of cavalry units gradually emerged in the morning mist.
"Huang Zhi led the team, ran forward, and went to the mountainside to set up a formation!"
"Wang Dali, bring the cavalry team with me."
I underestimated Han Kuangsi, and I got up very early. It was just dawn that day, and they had already caught up.
He Daxian muttered in his mouth, watching the foot soldiers of the brigade obviously speed up their pace, and climbed up halfway up the mountain. When the infantry meets the cavalry, if there are forests and mountains nearby, the first reaction is to enter the forest or go up the mountain, and few people dare to fight the cavalry on the wide plain.
Regarding the situation that the Khitans attacked early in the morning, He Daxian's original plan was to run halfway up the mountain to arrange positions, and then find an opportunity to defend and counterattack on the spot. Just like he said to Han Kuangsi, he is a formation master! Afraid of a bird!
However, after the completion of the third-level Qi refining upgrade last night, he changed his mind.
This is an era of ruthlessness, a team defeats the opponent through various stratagems, can only gain the respect of the opponent, but cannot win the fear of the opponent.
Relying too much on stratagems and all kinds of fairy tricks will also breed luck among his subordinates.
If you want to compete for hegemony in this world, you need an iron-blooded team, and an iron-blooded team must be fought!
He Daxian hopes to fight a "Zhenwu Army" that anyone will tremble when they hear it!
The enemy cavalry units in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the rumbling hooves of horses echoed everywhere in the great plains below the mountains like rolling thunder, startling countless birds, and the noisy quacking and screaming resounded in the sky. All kinds of rats, snakes and insects on the ground also burrowed out of the ground, flying everywhere in all directions.
It was a mixed force of Khitan cavalry and Shuozhou cavalry, which added up to about 3,000 cavalry!
More than one hundred and fifty cavalry of the Tang Army stood in place and lined up in three lines.
All the cavalry of the Tang Army were as white as a piece of paper, without the slightest blood.
These Tang cavalry, which was mainly composed of Tuyuhun people, two days ago, they were still rushing around as soon as they heard that the Khitans were coming, and they didn't even have the courage to look at the enemy, but now they have to use one hundred and fifty flesh and blood to resist the 3,000 cavalry rolling in like a flood!
Their General Zhao was flying in front of them, arrogantly making a final mobilization for them.
"Did you see those Khitans in front of you? Do you see it! They are the ones who have killed your parents, killed your families, robbed your wives, robbed your daughters, burned your tents, and eaten up your cattle and sheep! Now they're going to come to bully you, they're going to take the last of your things, what's that? It's dignity! Dignity! Are you willing to give your last dignity to the Khitans? ”
"No!" One hundred and fifty Tuyuhun people shouted in unison with trembling voices!
General Zhao walked to the end of the procession, turned his horse's head, and ignored the increasingly loud sound of horses' hooves on the opposite side, and the deep sound that rushed out of his mouth fiercely suppressed the noise on the ground.
"Scared? No! Think about yesterday, think about yesterday's ponds, think about the Khitan corpses everywhere yesterday, think about the meat hanging on your horses' buttocks! Still scared? No! They're not people, they're pigs! They are vulnerable! They're craning their necks and waiting for us to cut off their heads! Think about it! Think about how the Khitans died yesterday! Today they are just, how, what, dead! ”
"Die!" One hundred and fifty Tuyuhun people shouted their loudest voices in hoarse voices!
General Zhao turned around again, walked to the front of the team, faced all the cavalry with a solemn face, and raised the seventy-two pounds of fallen horse lance in his hand.
"I, Zhao Ping, Zhenwu patrol envoy! I will lead you to kill these pig-like Khitans! You, you, you, all of you, no matter who you are, whether you are Han or Tuyuhun or Dangxiang, from now on, they are all my family! It's all the Zhao family! You are all surnamed Zhao! We are, Zhao Jiajun! ”
"Zhao!" One hundred and fifty Tuyuhun people's eyes were red!
General Zhao gave us the surname Zhao! Now, we all have the surname Zhao!
Any idea what that means?
It means that these Tuguhun wanderers, who were originally cheaper than the water and grass in the mud by the river, have since become the personal guards of the imperial court generals! Become a member of General Zhao's family! What an honor and opportunity! This is a treatment and status worthy of generations to fight hard for the future!
"I want you, fight bravely and kill the enemy, and leave no hands behind! But, listen! Let me survive! Survive! Live well! Live to give birth to more Zhao family cubs for our Zhao family! ”
"Alive! Alive! Alive! All the tears of the Tuyuhun people flowed down on the spot, Nima, I was so moved, now, for General Zhao, it was worth dying.
"Now, let's go and kill! Departure! ”
He Daxian finished speaking, turned around and raised the heavy "fallen horse lance" in his hand, and rushed out first.
"Departure!"
The one hundred and fifty Tang cavalry behind him cheered in unison, urging the horse to start, the crowd was surging, quickly followed, threw the rolling red dust behind the horse, followed General Zhao, and rushed over bravely against the boundless Khitan cavalry crowd!
"Departure!"
"Departure!"
"Departure!"
