Chapter 108: Yanyun Eighteen Rides
While talking to the emperor, Wen Yao's originally slightly hung head suddenly raised, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he pointed to the other side of the river and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty...... It seems that some people don't want to see General Mai's body fall into the hands of the Goryeo barbarians. ”
Yang Guang was sulking from himself, but suddenly heard Wen Yao's words and turned around and looked at his pointers.
On the east bank of Liaoshui, eighteen rides, its speed is like the wind!
"The cavalry uses repeating crossbows, and I don't know which general's subordinates."
Wen Yao looked at the other side and frowned slightly.
Yang Guang didn't look angry, but laughed: "Okay, I want to see, who is this who suddenly has a little more blood surname, if you really snatch back the corpse of General Mai and save me a thousand taels of gold, I can't say that I want a big reward!" ”
Great reward, these five words he bit very hard.
Wen Jian sighed in his heart, and said in his heart that this is a general who does not open his eyes to do such an unruly thing, His Majesty has obviously been angry, even if he can snatch back the body of the wheat iron rod, is he not afraid of His Majesty's thunderous anger? Your Majesty wants to buy back the body of the iron rod with gold, then you can buy it back, why bother so much?
"Perhaps, it's just that the people below have no rules and haven't reported to the generals above that they know about crossing the river without permission. There were only eighteen people, maybe ...... Which battalion is the newly enlisted son of the good family, not necessarily the men and horses of the Twelve Guards. ”
Wen Yao regretted what he had just said, and he didn't know which general's soldiers were here.
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, what is the most taboo thing for His Majesty, how can he turn his head and forget it? Wen Yidao, Wen Yidao, are you really old?
Wen Yao said with annoyance in his heart.
"Recruits? Do you think I'm dizzy? ”
Yang Guang pointed to the eighteen horsemen and horses on the other side and said: "The whole body is ironarmed, the crossbow, the long lance, can the recruits be so elite?" If all my recruits in the Great Sui were like this, I would be happy! Don't say that Goguryeo, which is just a small land, if the recruits are so brave, I can fight to the end of the sky in one go! What are the Koreans, and what are the Turks? ”
He flicked his sleeves violently and shouted a little roughly: "Go!" Invite all those great generals to me! I want to ask who trained these eighteen good soldiers! ”
He used a word of please, and the intensity of his anger was already evident.
Wen Jia sighed, didn't say anything, just nodded and then walked over and instructed the eunuchs not far away to invite the generals of each battalion to come to discuss the matter, he turned his head slightly and saw that the emperor didn't look at him, so he lowered his voice and said to the inner servant: "Let all the generals check who crossed the river without permission, so that Your Majesty will be caught off guard for a while." ”
The chamberlain nodded, turned and hurried away.
After he arranged it, he returned to Yang Guang's side, and wanted to persuade him a few more words, but found that the emperor was a little stunned when he looked at the other side of the river, he subconsciously looked at the other side of the river, but saw that the fight on the other side ended so quickly!
Emperor Yang Guang breathed a long sigh of relief, and slowly spit out four words: "Kill happily!" ”
Wen Jia was stunned, he suddenly found that the emperor's face had lost his anger, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, he had just ordered people for such a while, what kind of killing method did the eighteen horsemen and horses on the other side of the river look at, even His Majesty could see it?
He looked carefully, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, among the eighteen horsemen on the other side, the slender knight on a big black horse, why did he look faintly familiar?
……
……
Li Xian was separated by a hundred paces, and an arrow shot the neck of the Goryeo civil official. His body sat firmly on the back of the big black horse, rising and falling with the big black horse's gallop. If you look closely, you will be shocked to find that his body seems to be one with the big black horse. No matter how the big dark horse jumps and bumps, his upper body is still straight, and his arms are still as steady as a rock!
The second arrow was shot out in the next second, and before the Goryeo civil official fell to the ground after being hit by the arrow, a Goryeo cavalry who turned to look at Li Xian's side in surprise was shot down. The arrow accurately found his heart, and the thick leather armor could not block the impact of the armor-breaking cone. The feather arrow pierced deep into the heart.
He opened his mouth to shout, but the darkness before his eyes rolled over from his horse.
"Enemy attack!"
Someone shouted.
All the Goryeo soldiers drew their weapons, and someone pointed at the Great Sui envoy with a ring-headed knife and asked, "Despicable and shameless Sui people, why do you want to attack us!" ”
The Great Sui official was stunned, looked at the Goryeo civil official who was still arrogant before, and then smiled, and replied very cleverly: "Maybe they are your people, right?" It's just that this archery really stinks, and it actually shot his own people, regret, regret! ”
After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Goryeo thieves cheat! Watch out! ”
"Whoa!"
Fifty soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion immediately drew their horizontal swords and formed a formation!
At this time, Li Xian's eyes lit up when he looked at the changes in front of him, and he couldn't help but praise secretly. The soldiers of the Great Sui were really well-trained, drew their swords and shields on the spot, and did not blindly fight back, nor did they immediately fight with the Koreans, if that was the case, it would be more troublesome to kill people on their side.
In an instant, the Eighteen Cavalry had rushed to a distance of less than forty paces from the Koreans. Some of those Goryeo cavalrymen took out their horns and blew them, and four or five cavalrymen turned around and left, and they didn't even fight!
The officials of the Great Sui looked at the fleeing Goryeo cavalry with contempt, and said in their hearts that barbarians are barbarians!
"Crossbow!"
Thirty steps, Li Xian shouted.
The seventeen cavalrymen behind him leveled the crossbows at the same time, and in an instant, dozens of crossbow arrows roared out. In the sudden sound of crossbow strikes, even more than a dozen Korean cavalry were shot to the ground. Li Xian saw that the other party's fighting spirit was not strong, so he immediately drew his horizontal knife and shouted: "Death to those who stand in my way!" ”
After these words were shouted, Li Xian suddenly felt that he was really a little imposing.
The crossbow box was shot empty in an instant, and the seventeen cavalrymen changed their weapons one after another, and six or seven cavalry with long lances spread out on both sides of Li Xian, and the cavalry with horizontal knives followed closely behind in the shape of a swallowtail!
"Block them!"
One of the fleeing Goryeo cavalrymen suddenly turned around and shouted.
Immediately, the remaining thirty or so horsemen lined up in two rows and stopped in front of Li Xian and them. It's just that their array hasn't been set up yet, and the eighteen horsemen have already crashed into it like thunder.
The big black horse jumped high and kicked a Korean cavalryman who was blocking in front of him with his front hooves. The big black horse that stood up fell to the ground sideways, and Li Xian took advantage of the situation to wipe the neck of a Korean cavalryman. The Iron Wolf, with six or seven horsemen with a lance, leveled the lance and crashed into the ranks of the Koreans. The horse lance has taken advantage of the length, and the three-foot-long lance can not be blocked by leather armor under the effect of impact? After a moment's moment, six or seven Goryeo cavalrymen flew out of the horse lance and fell far behind the array.
Li Xian, Iron Fang Wolf and the others did not stop for a moment, and directly killed through the two columns of Goryeo cavalry and rushed over, and more than ten cavalrymen with horizontal knives in the back immediately killed them, doubling the opening that Li Xian and others had opened violently!
Li Xian, who had penetrated the enemy formation, suddenly moved in his heart, and frowned as he looked at the three or four horsemen who had escaped.
"Catch up!"
He let out a loud shout and slapped his horse in pursuit.
But at this moment, the Goryeo patrol soldiers of the brigade had already greeted them and picked up the three or four horsemen. A burst of feathered arrows came to block Li Xian and the others, and a Goryeo cavalry reined in his horse and turned to look at Li Xian, his eyes were cold.
Li Xian didn't like to fight and turned his horse back, leaned over and grabbed the body of Mai Tiecane from the carriage.
Chao Qiuge and others cut melons and vegetables, and generally cut down the remnants of the Goguryeo cavalry, and then took off their hard bows to block the Goryeo infantry from rushing over.
Li Xian jumped to the side of the Great Sui official, jumped off the horse, and handed over the body of Mai Tiecane with both hands: "Take the old general home!" ”
Go home!
These two words shocked the Great Sui official in a trance.
A cavalryman jumped down from his horse and took the body of the iron rod. Li Xian didn't stop to turn over and get on the horse, and said to the Great Sui official: "Get on the boat and leave quickly!" ”
The Great Sui official was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Strong man, may I ask for your name!" ”
Li Xian pulled down his armor, didn't answer, stretched out his knife and pointed at the more than 200 Goryeo infantry in the distance and said, "Kill for a while and leave!" ”
Luo Fu and the others agreed loudly, and then rushed over with Li Xian in formation. The Goguryeo infantry were shocked when they saw that the eighteen horsemen and horses had taken the corpse and instead of fleeing, they turned around and killed it again. Some people subconsciously retreated, and some people were so frightened by the hideous face armor pattern of the eighteen horsemen that they couldn't help but tremble.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
The Goryeo generals who led the troops knew what the consequences would be if they were bumped into by the cavalry, although there were only a dozen people on the other side, but he could see clearly their ruthless killing spirit, and the cavalry of the fifty generals' personal troops was almost wiped out by others in a moment, and even if the entire Goryeo was exhausted, this combat power could not be picked out! What's more, there are fifty elite cavalry of the Great Sui behind them, and if they also rush over, the outcome is unpredictable!
Two hundred infantry immediately lined up, and the spearmen quickly assembled and stood at the head of the line. They stooped and staggered back and forth, and held their spears to the ground, pointing diagonally upwards to receive the cavalry's impact. This is the most common tactic of infantry against cavalry, and it is also the most effective tactic, and the pikemen who are ready to line have always been the nemesis of cavalry, of course, this is not absolute.
The reason why the Goryeo soldiers were so panicked was because they didn't expect that a dozen Sui people would dare to launch a surprise attack on the east bank of the river, and this kind of behavior of challenging the army of 50,000 with a dozen people could not be done by anyone except madmen!
There is no doubt that today they really saw eighteen madmen.
The eighteen knights dressed in black armor had a terrifying Yaksha face depicted on the face armor pulled down, with sharp cyan fangs, bloody mouths, and their blood-stained weapons all emitting bursts of evil energy. Under the cold iron armor, no one could tell whether it was a human or a ghost rider who really came out of hell.
Seeing that the eighteen cavalry was only a dozen meters away from crashing into the phalanx of the Goryeo soldiers, each spearman unconsciously tightened his hands and held the weapon desperately. Behind them, as the trumpets sounded one after another, the cavalry and infantry of the brigade were gathering in this direction.
As long as they can block the first hit, they won't be able to run!
Someone comforted himself and tried to alleviate his fear.
However, the impact did not come. Ten meters away, the black-armored knight riding a big black horse suddenly dodged to one side, and then seventeen majestic war horses followed him in a beautiful arc, almost grazing the Goryeo infantry formation and swept out to the north. Soon, the eighteen horsemen kicked up dust and smoke and went far away.
They... Actually want to run?
The Goguryeo general who led the team let out a long breath, and then scolded in a low anger angrily: "Damn...... Scared the hell out of me. ”
When I looked at it again, the Great Sui official had already taken his soldiers on the raft and had already arrived at the center of the river when they were answered.
Fooled!
The Korean cavalryman, who was standing behind the infantry and watching the battle, took off his helmet and fell to the ground, his eyes gloomy and silent.
Standing on the raft, the envoy of the Great Sui glanced at the body of Mai Tiecane, the general of the Zuotun Guard, who was lying peacefully at his feet, and turned his head to look at the Goryeo soldiers on the east bank of Liaoshui. Suddenly, the cavalryman who threw his helmet brightened his eyes.
Eulchi Wende!
He suddenly realized that he had missed an opportunity!
……
……
Looking at the eighteen horsemen galloping all the way north along the river, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Cause, was faintly red and a little excited. Several generals had already gathered, and no one sent anyone to the east bank of Liaoshui to snatch the corpse. It can be seen that the eighteen horsemen are not figures in the army.
The soldiers of Zuotun Guard spontaneously rushed to the river, looked at the eighteen horsemen who were far away, and neatly performed a Great Sui military salute!
"Catch up! Let the leading knight leave his name! ”
Yang Guang pointed to the other side of the river and shouted eagerly.
Immediately, four or five soldiers jumped on horseback and chased north on the Liaoshui side.
"Strongman, Your Majesty asked you to leave your name!"
The cavalry shouted.
On the other side of the river, there was a faint voice of answer: "I...... Name...... Yanyun! ”
Li Xian smiled, very satisfied with the fake name he came up with on a whim.
Yang Guang took a deep breath, and then laughed: "I am a great Sui hero, it's just a pity that I can't leave this person to work for me!" Pity! Pity! Pity! ”
He said three times in a row, staring at the back of the eighteen horsemen who were far away and muttered, "Yan Yun...... Eighteen Riders"
Among the crowd, only Wen Yao's face changed and he didn't say a word.
