Chapter 565: Uzil
At the other end of the canyon, the battle flag of the Black Wolf Army fluttered.
The sky was already bright, like a fiery sun shining on the earth, and there was not even a place of shade on the empty plain.
The sun at noon is not very scorching, but it still makes people sweat.
It can be predicted that the weather will be hot today, and it will be extremely hot than usual......
Fighting under this kind of sun, whether it is the Mo Dao Army or the Black Wolf Army, is a cruel test. Jili Yuanying has taken off the wolf head mask, revealing a handsome face. He has a very pronounced Hu-Han mixed race characteristics, fair and rough skin, deep eyes and high forehead, and clear cheek lines, like a knife and axe, showing masculinity.
He is a Chuyue person, which is what later generations called a Shatuo person.
His maternal grandmother was a Tang dynasty who married his maternal grandfather and gave birth to his mother, who was later sacrificed to Wuzhile as a concubine, and then gave birth to Jili Yuanying. However, Jili Yuanying hates the Tang blood in his body. Although he was the eldest son of Uzile, he was not favored. Fortunately, he was born with divine power and was brave and brave, otherwise he would not have been able to get the attention of Wu Zhile at all.
Don't look at the fact that he commanded the most elite black wolf army under Uzile, but among the dozen or so sons of Uzile, he had the lowest status.
Ji Li Yuanying never expected that he would be blocked outside the Ashi Bulai Pass.
Originally, he wanted to be the first to enter the Broken Leaf River Valley, but now it seems that ......
Ash does not come to the mountain pass, and the shouting and killing are constant.
The Black Wolf Army attacked like a tidal wave, but the effect was not very good. Judging from the battle report from the front, the other party is Anxi's Modao Army.
Could it be that the main force of the Tang Army is coming?
Jili Yuanying sat on the back of a horse with a gloomy face.
At this moment, Suo Ge came from behind him and said loudly: "Jili Yuanying, you are still the first warrior of Tuqishi, this little Ashi can't break through the mountain pass, it's just too incompetent." ”
At this moment, Suo Ge has no trace of the embarrassment he had in Broken Leaf City before.
His face was still a little pale, but his spirit had recovered. After changing into a military uniform, he added a bit of heroism.
Jili Yuanying glanced at him and was furious in his heart.
However, there was no dissatisfaction on his face. Over the years, there have been too many grievances around Wu Zhile, and many of them have made Jili Yuanying, a guy who always feels reckless, practice quiet kung fu.
He was angry, and said in a soft voice: "Suo Ge, it's not that I don't want to fight, but this mountain pass...... If there is enough space, the Black Wolf Army can defeat those Tang dogs with a single charge. It's a pity that the advantages of the Black Wolf Army can't be exploited here, so it can't be broken now...... However, give me some more time, and I will take the head of the dog. ”
"How long?"
"This ......"
"I heard that my father ordered you to pass through the mountain pass before noon.
But now it seems that you may not be able to complete the mission, and if you delay the fighter, your father will definitely blame you. ”
"Do you have an idea?"
Suo Ge's handsome face showed a hideous expression.
"If you don't have the ability to break through, hand over the Black Wolf Army to me and watch me break through the Ashi Bulai Pass."
Suo Ge's heart was full of hatred.
Not to mention the failure of Broken Leaf City, he even became a prisoner of Yang Shouwen, which was regarded by him as a great shame in his life. What's more, Lu Nuer showed a good impression of Yang Shouwen before, which also made Suo Ge resentful. After getting out of trouble this time, Suo Ge was supposed to go to join Wu Zhile, but he stayed to follow Jili Yuanying, and he had his own intention of revenge in his heart.
Of course, if you can take the opportunity to take control of the Black Wolf Army......
Suo Ge can be said to covet the Black Wolf Army, if he can take this opportunity to grasp the Black Wolf Army in his hands, and become the successor of Uzile in the future, he will be even more sure.
Ji Li Yuanying's face changed slightly, but then he smiled again.
"Since you want revenge, it depends on your means to be a brother."
When Suo Ge heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
He hurriedly took the handsome flag from Ji Li Yuanying, and then stepped forward and shouted: "Black Wolf Army, continue to attack me." ”
The Black Wolf Army shouted in unison and rushed towards the Ashi Bulai Pass.
In the canyon, the battle has become extremely fierce.
However, the canyon is 300 meters long, and the corpses are scattered one after another, and it is nearly 100 meters away.
The war horse that lost its owner left in the wilderness, the corpse of the black wolf army, the corpse of the war horse were mixed together, and the blood had stained the earth red.
The combat effectiveness of the Modao Army is indeed amazing!
But no matter how powerful the combat power is, the Mo Dao Army is flesh and blood after all.
In the face of the continuous and tidal offensive of the Black Wolf Army, the Modao Army began to suffer casualties. Fortunately, they have iron armor to protect themselves, and the Mo knife in their hands is sharp, so the casualties are not too big. But even so, there have been flaws in the Six Flowers Array.
"The first and second teams retreated, and the third and fourth teams moved forward."
Every Mo Dao Army is the lifeblood of Lai Yao.
Seeing the casualties under his command, he hurriedly ordered a retreat, and at the same time ordered the two teams of Modao troops to go to the front......
Mo knife wielded, flesh and blood flying.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the Black Wolf Army finally had to withdraw from the canyon because there were too many corpses in the canyon and the war horses could not walk.
"What about the casualties?"
Yang Shouwen asked in a deep voice.
Xin Zhongzhi hurriedly whispered: "Twenty-three people were killed in the battle and twenty-seven were wounded. ”
A team of Modao troops has lost its combat effectiveness?
When Yang Shouwen heard the news of the battle damage, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
"What about the Black Wolf Army?"
"The casualties should be above three hundred."
Xin Zhongzhi showed pride as he spoke.
1 to 6 battle damage...... But with so many dead and wounded Mo sword soldiers, wouldn't the Six Flower Array be broken?
Yang Shouwen couldn't help but be a little worried, but looking at Xin Zhongzhi's appearance, he didn't seem to have any signs of worry......
"Yang Jun doesn't know, since the training of my Mo Dao Army, I have long thought of various situations.
Now 300 people make up six flowers, and once the manpower is reduced, the manpower changes of each team are automatically adjusted to adapt to the battle situation. You see, the captain has already begun to reorganize the Six Flowers Array, and it is absolutely impossible for those Black Wolf Troops to break through here. ”
Sure enough, while Xin Zhongzhi was speaking, the Mo Dao Army at the mountain pass was also constantly adjusting.
After a while, the Six Flowers Array of the Mo Sword Army was adjusted. Compared with the previous Six Flower Array, it seems to be a little smaller, but looking at the appearance of the army, it is indeed murderous. This also made Yang Shouwen secretly praise in his heart, and looked at Lai Yao's ability to stay in danger.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
time, in the passage of time.
Before I knew it, it was close to noon...... The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the black wolf army on the other side of the canyon has also begun to become agitated.
They had fled from Kulan City and had not rested all night.
And after fighting outside the Ashi Bulai Pass for nearly two hours, Rao is Black Wolf Army is well-trained, and under such a scorching sun, it is also a little unbearable. On the other hand, when the sun rose into the sky, they lined up into the canyon. Relying on the shadows on both sides of the canyon to avoid the sun, in comparison, it is much more relaxed than the Black Wolf Army.
"Suo Ge, it's not a way to fight like this."
Jili Yuanying persuaded Suo Ge: "It's best to wait for my father to arrive with a large army, and then we will attack." ”
"Jili Yuanying, you are too bold.
I have already observed just now, the Tang army on the opposite side is only a few hundred people, but I have thousands of people in my hands. If you can't even break through the mountain pass like this, how can you control the Broken Leaf Valley? When the time comes, we will have to fight tens of thousands of Tang troops. ”
Jili Yuanying was not angry, just looked at Suo Ge and said, "Suo Ge, I know you want revenge."
But the Black Wolf Army is the most elite of my father's men, and if I lose too much here, my father will definitely be angry. ”
"If you want me to say, if you can't break through the mountain pass, my father will be angry."
"And how are you going to break it?"
"The canyon is not suitable for war horses to charge, so let the sons and daughters dismount and fight. With our numerical superiority, we will definitely be able to rush through. ”
You let the cavalry dismount?
Ji Li Yuanying didn't say it, but he sneered in his heart.
Do you think it's an ordinary Tang army on the other side? That's the Modao Army...... The First Army of Anzai! You let the Black Wolf Army give up its own advantages and go to hand-to-hand combat with the Tang Army? Not to mention anything else, but just the equipment of the Tang Army, it can't be compared.
In later generations, there is a saying that it is the cavalry of the Modao Army.
The so-called Mo knife is everywhere, and flesh and blood fly...... But in reality? The saying that the Modao army defeated the cavalry was that it was possible to restrain it after the cavalry stopped charging. Therefore, when the Modao army fights, it is often not the first to attack, but after the infantry forces the opponent's cavalry to stop, the Modao army attacks again, and then wins a complete victory...... Therefore, from the beginning, Laiyao did not choose to block at the other end of the canyon, but lined up at the exit, just to counteract the advantage of the cavalry.
But if the Concession Army really attacked, the Modao Army would not only not be afraid, but might also be happy.
After all, hand-to-hand combat on the ground, hand-to-hand combat, the Modao Army is fearless......
But looking at a car with an arrogant color, Jili Yuanying swallowed it back when it came to his mouth.
The cavalry dismounted and went to fight hand-to-hand with the Modao army? That's not even meat to the mouth!
That's right, your Black Wolf Army has the advantage in numbers, but you have to understand that without the protection of war horses, the Black Wolf Army is equivalent to losing an arm. Even if you break through the Ashi Burai Pass, the Black Wolf Army will suffer heavy losses, and it will be up to you to explain to your father when the time comes.
Thinking of this, Ji Li Yuanying sneered in his heart.
But on the surface, he still dissuaded it.
"Suo Ge, the Tang Army's combat power is extraordinary, and the enemy must not be underestimated."
"Jili Yuanying, you are too timid, and you look at Tang Dog too highly...... Oh, I forgot, you seem to have Tang blood too. ”
Ji Li Yuanying's cheeks twitched, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Suo Ge didn't pay any attention to Jili Yuanying, but gave a loud order, and the Black Wolf Army abandoned their horses and attacked......
With the sound of rumbling war drums, under the scorching sun, groups of black wolf troops rushed into the canyon again. This time, because there were no war horses, the charging speed of the Black Wolf Army was not very fast. But in the same way, running on both feet is much more convenient than riding a horse.
"Is Jili Yuanying crazy?"
Xin Zhongzhi and Li Ke, who were standing beside Yang Shouwen, couldn't help but shout.
"Letting the Black Wolf Army abandon their horses and charge is simply sending them to death."
In the canyon, the Mo Dao Army lined up again.
When Lai Yao saw the unusual attack method of the Black Wolf Army, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
This Jili Yuanying's head is broken?
"Mo Dao Army, Yuan Rong Crossbow."
With Lai Yao's order, the Mo Dao Army at the front squatted down.
Behind them, the Mo Dao Army immediately took out a crossbow arrow and aimed it at the other side of the canyon. The Modao army marched and fought, carrying many weapons, so they had to be accompanied by pack horses. It seems that the Yuan Rong crossbow in their hands is said to have been invented by Zhuge Wuhou during the Three Kingdoms. However, the Yuanrong crossbow invented by Zhuge Liang is a large crossbow arrow, which is mainly used to defend the city.
But then, Ma Jun, a native of Wei, transformed the Yuanrong crossbow, from the original ten consecutive rounds to five consecutive rounds.
The most important thing is that Ma Jun greatly reduced the weight and volume of the Yuanrong crossbow, turning it from a large crossbow into a single weapon.
However, the production of this type of crossbow arrow is complicated and its arrows must be specially made, so the production is not large.
As a strong army in the Western Regions, the Modao Army is the first army in Anxi, so it is equipped with this kind of crossbow arrow...... Each Mo Sword Army will be equipped with twenty special arrows, which can also be seen how precious this Yuan Rong crossbow is in this era.
"Shoot the arrows!"
When the Black Wolf Army rushed into the canyon, still about two hundred steps away from the Mo Dao Army, Lai Yao hissed and roared.
With the sound of the machine, rows of crossbow arrows whistled out.
The Black Wolf Army, which rushed to the front, was instantly shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground one after another.
The Modao Army lined up, one hundred and twenty pairs of Yuan Rong crossbows, divided into two rows, and fired in turns. In just 200 paces, more than 100 Black Wolf soldiers were shot. Finally, when they were about to approach, the Mo Dao Army shouted in unison, and the Mo Dao swung out, only to see flesh and blood splashing. Terrible screams echoed through the canyon, and mutilated corpses lay in pools of blood. Blood, mixed with flesh and blood, soaked the canyon floor and turned it into mud.
Lai Yao shouted sharply: "Six flower arrays, go forward in a vertical formation, chisel through me." ”
The Mo knife soldiers shouted in unison, stepped forward, and after a team of Mo knife soldiers swung their knives, the Mo knife soldiers behind them would jump out and kill with their swords. However, the three teams of the Mo Sword Army were defeated and retreated, and finally withdrew from the canyon.
The three-hundred-meter-long canyon floor was scattered with stumps and flesh, and the entire canyon seemed to be stained red with blood......
"Stand back, all back."
Without waiting for the Black Wolf Army to react, Lai Yao ordered the Mo Sword Army to retreat to the exit of the canyon.
Suo Ge's face turned pale, and his heart was even more angry.
"Charge me, and those who trespass will be killed."
He had been a prisoner before, and he had lost face.
Now commanding the Black Wolf Army, he was even more embarrassed by the other party. How can this make the arrogant Suo Ge acceptable?
He roared as if he had gone crazy, directing the Black Wolf Army to rush into the canyon again and again.
However, under the command of Lai Yao, although the Mo Sword Army also suffered casualties, it was like a rock, blocking the exit of the canyon.
"Bastards, you cowards, rush me."
In a frenzy, he rushed up and slashed several retreating Black Wolf Army soldiers to the ground.
Just as he was about to swing the knife again, he suddenly heard a loud angry shout from behind him: "Suo Ge, you come back for me." ”
Who?
Suo Ge had already killed red eyes and roared fiercely.
But when he looked back at the person behind him, his face suddenly changed.
Behind him, under the banner of the Black Wolf Army, an old man in his fifties, wearing braided hair, a golden ring on his head, and armor, came on horseback.
He came to Suo Ge and raised the whip in his hand, which was a blow that cut his head and covered his face.
"You bastard, what do you think of your sons' lives? Abandon the horse and attack, how can you bastard figure it out. ”
Suo Ge can be arrogant to anyone, but in front of this person, he is like a gutless mouse, although he was beaten to the head and bleeding, he did not dare to dodge, let alone open his mouth to defend himself.
After the man slapped Suo Ge, he said sharply, "Come on, bring this bastard thing down to me." ”
Several Turks stepped forward and pressed Suo Ge away.
The man stood at the entrance of the canyon, looking at the bodies of the Black Wolf Army soldiers scattered throughout the canyon, and his eyes showed regret.
His gaze immediately passed through the canyon and fell on the body of the Mo Dao Army.
His eyes froze, as if he was talking to himself: "Mo Dao Army? Didn't the crossbow say that he wanted to contain the Anxi Tang Army? ”
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and turned his horse away.
From beginning to end, he did not say a word, let alone order the Black Wolf Army to continue the charge.
However, after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again and turned to look over. At this time, Yang Shouwen, accompanied by Jeddah and others, also came to the exit of the canyon. The group stood in front of the formation, and Yang Shouwen's eyes touched the man.
"Who is he?"
Yang Shouwen had a bad omen in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
Li Ke's face changed slightly, and he said softly: "Yang Jun, that person is Wu Zhile, you have to be careful." (To be continued.) )
