The 15,000-strong heavy cavalry galloped on the overgrown path day and night, and a sweat dripped down the heavy helmet, and the general who kept falling on horseback slapped his horse to catch up, and the sweat on his face washed away the dust stained when Lian Yue was on the road, and the traces like earthworms crawling over were reflected in the eyes of the young general who was the leader. The bearded general stared at the young man on the horseback, wiped a handful of sweat that was about to flow into his eyes, muttered something in his mouth, and said loudly to the man: "Your Royal Highness, it's hard to go on like this, you can be gracious and let us all rest for a while, ah?" It's good for only one hour, the weather gets hotter and hotter the farther west, and if you run down, people can still hold on, but the horses can't stand it, and if you don't take a break, they won't be able to get up to the next stop. ”

As he spoke, General Beard's hand, which was full of small scars, patted the neck of the jujube red horse under his crotch in distress, as if he could understand the master's intentions, and two rough breaths erupted from the nostrils of the jujube red horse, and the beads of sweat on the mane instantly stained the general's hands.

"Yes, yes, even if we run to Gaul like this, half of the horses will be killed from overwork," the other generals who surrounded the grim-faced young man like stars holding the moon also cried out in anguish. There are even a few people who have begun to retreat in their hearts, knowing that it is this kind of drudgery, so it is better not to go, now it is good, there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back, not only is the military period about to be delayed, even the horses are tired and half dead, this is thousands of miles, when will it be able to arrive?

Originally, the heavy cavalry was only used to charge into battle, with absolute speed and weight to break through the dense infantry phalanx composed of enemy archers and spears, generally speaking, as long as the heavy cavalry was used as the vanguard, the casualties would be much smaller. But the heavy armored cavalry is not without weaknesses, the armor weighing a full twenty-five kilograms is too much heavier than the light cavalry, plus the person who can wear the twenty-five kilogram armor on the body and wield a mace and other heavy weapons with one hand can only grow into an orangutan, so even if the war horse can endure hardships after a fight, it will take several days to recover. The heavy cavalry was not known for its mobility, and long-distance raids were originally the strength of the light cavalry, but now it is good, and the heavy cavalry will rush to the battlefield to participate in the battle within a few days, and the light cavalry that should have been sent out to support quickly can easily lie in the barracks and listen to the grasshoppers, damn it, what does this look like!

At that time, the young highness blocked their full stomach with a sentence, "Whoever violates my command, behead!" Now, no one dares to chew the root of his tongue in front of him.

But despite this, there is almost no one in the Yuzhou camp who does not admire the young general, he is simply a god, the army of the Hui besieging Tubo has been stationed here for several years, the Tubo people with their well-made bed crossbows have not let them go further, but Yuzhou in the plain area is miserable, there was only a small city, plus only a little more than two zhang of the city wall, the barbaric Hui people have no agreement on what, directly want to get some oil and water from here, I didn't expect, After a team of 10,000 people went up, there was no sound at all, as if all of them were swallowed into the city, and the general who came out with troops without permission was also a little scared, but so many people said that it was gone, and they didn't taste the sweetness at all, if the generalissimo knew that he couldn't say anything, under the pressure of military law, he personally rushed into the open city gate, and was about to take a good look at this small city, when the crossbow machine began to make a sharp chirp, The arrows shot by hundreds of crossbow machines are simply like sparrows that are overwhelming, even if there is a pure steel shield, they can't stop it, and the power of the angry attack is amazing, in ordinary times, an ordinary Da Zhou soldier can shoot a hundred to one hundred and fifty steps, which is already good, but the range of the crossbow machine can reach two hundred steps, which has completely exceeded the prediction of the Hui general, even if he is brave, those crossbow machines that suddenly appeared on the low houses that seemed to have no life still nailed him to the ground with men and horses.

That general probably won't understand why Da Zhou has a Tibetan crossbow machine until he dies, right? The fifteenth prince, who was carefully watching the battle on the hill half a mile away, waved his hand expressionlessly, and a large number of heavily armored cavalry rushed down from the gentle slopes on all sides. The flying dust seemed to cover the world, no one could see what the cavalry hidden in the hustle and bustle looked like, under the golden flag, a young man wearing silver armor slowly raised his sword, and countless cavalrymen wrapped in black armor suddenly shouted their new slogan: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! The war horse urged by the knight shook the horse's hooves vigorously, as if it suddenly appeared in front of the panicked Hui people with a gust of wind, and the heavy armored cavalry riding the war horse did not have the slightest mercy for the infantry in the Hui phalanx who held a spear of one foot and five feet in their hands, and when the first warrior who rushed to the front used the sharper steel spear of the enemy to nail the four Hui people standing in the first line to the ground, the war horse that was stuck in the body of a dozen spears still rushed into the enemy formation with a huge habitual surname, In the panicked shouts of the scattered Hui people, the soldiers of the Great Zhou laughed and spurted out a mouthful of long-suppressed blood, their heads lowered, the horror of the Hui people, the neighing of the war horses, and the thunderous war drums of the two sides of the confrontation, there was no longer the calm on the face of the fifteenth prince who was quietly watching the battle, his face changed and he fell off the horse, and spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water almost at the same time.

"Your Highness!" The young chief of the guard, who had been following him since he left the palace, firmly pressed the frightened war horse with a strong hand, but the other did not stretch out to the young man who was half-kneeling on the ground like gold paper as usual: "Your Highness is a noble status, and the scene behind is probably unbearable for Your Highness, so please go to the big tent to rest first." ”

Isn't it probably more hateful than those who stare at their hearts with disdain and mock themselves? After spitting up the acid water in his stomach, and forcibly suppressing the churning of the bottom of his stomach, the young man pushed away the other hand that wanted to help him up, dragged the horse and staggered to his feet, as if he was climbing back onto the horse like those who laughed at him to prove something, raised the long sword in his hand, and there was no trace of embarrassment just now: "All the dear servants, rush with me!" After that, he ignored the father-in-law in a fancy costume and didn't look back.

The father-in-law, who had changed his voice in a hurry, turned his head and glared at the guard fiercely, opened his mouth but only said one word: "You! ”

The young chief of the guard hid the sudden smile on his face on the unsheathed cold sword, and jumped on his horse: "Can't you hear Your Highness's order?" All the generals obey the order! General Qi, you outflank the left flank of the Hui people, be sure to force them into that valley, Yan Shu, you lead people to block that mountain pass, listen, no Hui people are allowed to escape back this time! ”

"But General," staring at the prince who rushed down recklessly, the guard called Yan Shu was full of anxiety, as if he was estimating when he would meet the enemy, and said with such urgency: "General, the surname of the Hui life is brave, once the valley mouth is forced to the point of life and death, I am afraid that it will counterattack back, and then the casualties of our army will be large, not to mention that His Royal Highness is still in the chaos of the army, in case he is injured by the enemy, please ask the general to show it." ”

The young chief guard glanced coldly at his most powerful assistant, and casually fastened a helmet to his head: "Where is so much nonsense!" Let go of a Hui person, I'll kill you first! ”

Looking at the person who had already rushed into the enemy camp alone, screaming wildly and waving his long sword wildly, the corners of his mouth suddenly had a smile on his face.

Even if they are unparalleled elite warriors in the world, they are all messing around like headless flies at this time. Perhaps the moment the city gate was opened, the Hui general should have thought about how he could get out of the way, but now, he could only regret his pride and arrogance. The corpse that was no longer recognizable was firmly hung on the head of the city by a thick rope, and after half of the hair was cut off, the lifeless face clearly appeared in front of everyone, and the already somewhat fragmented iron armor was densely filled with clusters of stubby arrows, and a quarter of an hour ago he was the same Huiren general who wantonly mocked the Great Zhou people with his subordinates for being as timid as a mouse, but now, he was just a lifeless corpse.

The adjutant general is not a general, after knowing that the person hanging from the city is his most respected general, he already knows that he has been ambushed by the enemy, but how to take his tens of thousands of people to retreat He has not yet thought about it, at this time there should always be a team left to cover the retreat of the main force and attract the enemy, but this task room is indeed a little difficult for a strong man to put on a person who has not had the slightest merit in his army, just look at the remaining generals who do not have a trace of respect for themselves at all. They don't stop commanding anymore.

What made the lieutenant general most angry was that at such a time, they were still arguing over who would be the commander.

"Abubo, you have the least number of people, let them stay and stop the Great Zhou people," a big man with a string of wolf teeth on his forehead threw down his knife suddenly, "If you don't leave, but no one can leave!" ”

"Gushu, you have fewer people than me, why don't you stay!" Ah Bu Bo pulled the reins of the horse angrily, "I think you are thinking about the dream of becoming a general, to tell you the truth, I am determined to be a general!" Marshal Coulomb used to value me, and if it hadn't been preempted by that guy, you would have called me a general by now. ”

The adjutant general knew in his heart that Abubo had always been dissatisfied with Zhan Wu as a general, but he didn't expect his vision to be so short-sighted.

"Gu Li, your soldiers are all infantry, and they can't run fast, so let them stay for us to block for a while."

"Yeluo, don't fall into the well! If my soldiers can't escape, you don't want to get out alive! ”

"Hehehe," said the lieutenant's face with a sneer, "do you think we can go back alive now?" ”

The generals looked at him in astonishment, and then at the flying dust not far away.

Yeluo was the first to exclaim: "It's cavalry!" It's the cavalry of the Han Chinese! ”

The adjutant general snorted disdainfully, and suddenly ordered: "Gu Li, let your troops form a formation, it seems that we are going to fight a tough battle." ”

Just when Yeluo was at a loss, the heaviness brought by the sound of horses' hooves instantly hit everyone's hearts, and the clothes and armor that appeared in the yellow dust were all painted with a thick layer of black, and a soldier with good eyes suddenly let out an exclamation: "It's a heavy armored cavalry!" That's the heavy armored cavalry of the Great Zhou! With a look of surprise on his face, Gu Li was about to turn around and leave, but a scimitar with a cold light immediately pressed against his throat.

"Gul, do you want to face the enemy with your back? Don't forget, I'm still a lieutenant general in the army, and according to military law, I can kill you immediately! The adjutant general shouted violently: "Can't you hear the order? Tell your soldiers to form a formation, cavalry, and prepare to counterattack when the heavy cavalry formation is chaotic, as long as we open a gap we can all rush through, or we will die here together! There are not many of them, and we still have the advantage in numbers, and now they all have to listen to my command, do you understand? ”

Gathering their minds, all the generals replied in unison, as if the pride that had been integrated into the blood of the bones once again responded to the blood of the enemy, they were the strongest warriors, the darlings of the earth, and the loud military song once again fluttered in front of the slightly chaotic return to the army formation. Rows of infantry clenched their spears tightly, the soldiers of the first row dug the huge shields on their shoulders deep into the soil, the soldiers of the second row put the spears that were about to come out of the water on the shoulders of the soldiers of the first row, and the soldiers of more than a dozen rows suppressed the sound of horses' hooves as if they were about to disrupt their heartbeats, and shouted their advancing military songs in unison.

Almost as soon as they had formed their formations, the sound of heavy horses' hooves could be heard behind the other three low slopes, and the faces of several generals instantly turned pale. The enemy is not just a group of men, they have other ambushes.

"We can't wait any longer!" The adjutant general snatched a spear from the soldier next to him, "Abubo, Gushu, tell your men to exchange weapons with the infantry, we have to fight them hard!" ”

Everyone knew that there was not much time left, and if the heavy cavalry was allowed to speed up to the limit, the steel spear could even rush to the ninth layer of the infantry formation.

The heavy cavalry rushing down from a low slope was already slaughtering the infantry who had no time to turn around, and with every swing of the heavy mace, a soldier flew out with a burst of brains, and the other light cavalry were all crazy and wanted to get close to fight, but were blocked by their own people.

The lieutenant general slammed the punch hard, he knew that he had lost completely now, but as long as one group of people broke through, even if only one herald broke through, it would be good to tell the marshal who had no idea of the enemy's situation. He made a quick decision to let the infantry retreat slowly, and now as long as he sent the messenger out, he would not lose! As long as someone sends the news back, the battalion of 150,000 people will definitely avenge themselves. Until now, there is still a trace of unspoken luck in his heart, the soldiers of the Great Zhou have always not had an advantage in physical strength, but the Hui people have taken advantage of the physical height, if they are in close combat, those who only rely on stratagem to win the Great Zhou people should not be able to defeat themselves, right?

But once again, he was wrong. When he saw the young man with a hint of childishness on his face wearing black clothes and black armor as if he was going to die with him, he already knew that something was wrong, these Han people didn't seem to care about their surnames at all, and even they had already thought of dying with themselves, and some of them even learned from that young man to use the huge weight and high-speed impact of the heavy armored cavalry to open a channel for the people behind him to insert their own handsome flags. Even the always brave Hui people were pressed back step by step by them, and they could no longer maintain their formation.

"The devil, it's the devil!" The cries of terror came and went on the battlefield, getting louder and louder, and almost everyone was holding their heads and screaming. The Hui people, who have always boasted of being warriors, have now thrown their weapons everywhere, and would rather be killed from behind by the Great Zhou cavalry than fight against them again.

Several cavalry sliced the Hui into small formations like red-hot forks inserting cheese, and even so, those who were surrounded by the formation continued to wield their scimitars, and the soldiers whose legs had been cut off were desperately slashing the black iron armor that was shaking in front of them with their scimitars on the layers of corpses, until the bladed knife in his hand fell from his scarred hands when he was plunged into the heart.
