Chapter 660: Death

Xu Shengnu's ancestral home is Huoyi, and his father was originally a general in the Huoyi garrison, and he also served in the Sui army. The Tang army attacked Huoyi, Song Laosheng sent his father to lure the enemy, but only gave 1,000 men and horses, and after being defeated by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, he fled back to Huoyi City.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng broke through Huoyi, and Liu Hongji beheaded Song Laosheng. He joined Liu Hongji's army and has always regarded Liu Hongji as a benefactor.

Before sending out the troops, Liu Hongji's words to him made him feel deeply. Li Xian, the king of Yan outside the city, almost everyone knows that he is also the son of the current emperor, but the emperor refuses to recognize him in order to save face. Now that King Yan's soldiers are in the city, the emperor sent soldiers and horses out of the city to ask for help. But it was so many innocent soldiers who died, and in any case, this incident really made people feel a little aggrieved.

As Liu Hongji said, if His Majesty wins this battle, the family members of Pao Ze who died in the battle may still receive some pensions, but if King Yan wins, how can they give pensions to the soldiers who died in the Tang Army? The Tang army defended the city, the Yanyun army attacked the city, and I don't know how many Yanyun soldiers will die at the hands of the Tang army.

So whoever wins this battle is not a good thing for the soldiers.

What if the court gives some bereavement benefits?

The soldiers died in battle, not fighting against foreign enemies, how aggrieved was the death?

The struggle between the Li family's own people has to implicate so many innocent people.

And when Zhang Gongjin told Wei Tianchui, what he said was diametrically opposite. He told Wei Tianzhui that he would rather fight to the death than retreat. Your Majesty is in an extremely bad mood these days, who knows if it will cause the wrath of thunder? Wei Tianchui is Zhang Gongjin's personal soldier, and he is also loyal to Zhang Gongjin. He was able to be promoted from a pro-soldier to an eagle general, all thanks to Zhang Gongjin's promotion.

Now that Zhang Gongjin uses him, he naturally has to serve to the death.

As soon as the time arrived, the Mingde Gate in the south of the city and the Tonghua Gate in the east of the city opened at the same time. The two tiger generals each took a thousand elite horsemen out of the city gate, whether it was Xu Shengfu or Wei Tianchui, they actually understood in their hearts that even if they could kill the Yanyun army camp this time, they were afraid that there would be no more soldiers left under them. Yan Yunjun is an elite division of the first rank in the world, and he has not tasted defeat in these years, and no matter who fights against such an opponent, he will be apprehensive.

Xu Shengfu rushed to the Yanyun army camp first, and when he was still one hundred and twenty paces away, the feather arrow shot with a wind that broke through the sky. The archers are no more than three arrows in battle, which refers to cavalry combat. The speed of the light cavalry was too fast, and the distance of more than a hundred paces was instantaneous, and it was difficult for even the best archers to shoot the fourth arrow.

Xu Shengnu was born in cavalry, and his archery skills should not be underestimated. Listening to the sound of the bowstring, he lowered his body to the side of the war horse, the feather arrows whistled in his ears, and the cavalry behind him wailed and fell off the horse, and these sounds continued to reach Xu Sheng's angry ears. From the moment Yan Yunjun began to send arrows, he knew that this raid would be difficult to succeed.

Yan Yunjun had already prepared, light cavalry and stepped into formation, and the archers of the other side were able to assemble so quickly and line up to resist the enemy, and the surprise attack could no longer be called a surprise attack, but could only be called a hard break. With 1,000 light cavalry, he broke through the enemy company camp that had been prepared for a long time...... This is not a mythological story, and Yan Yunjun is not a rogue, so this battle is destined to be bloody and tragic.

The feather arrow flew past Xu Sheng's angry body, and he was no stranger to the feeling that death was close at hand.

When he was still thirty or forty steps away from the Yanyun Army's camp, he sat up straight and leveled the long lance in his hand.

"Kill the enemy camp!"

He shouted loudly, and Tima leaped over the antlers.

The cavalry behind had a poor rider directly hit the rejection horse, and the sharpened wood pierced into the body of the war horse, and the thick wood left a huge hideous wound on the war horse, and the war horse could not fall down for a while when it was worn on it, and let out a desperate neigh.

The soldiers fell off their horses, and if they were lucky, they could stand up and rush forward, but if they were unlucky, they were directly knocked down by the horses in robes, and before they could stand up, they were trampled by the hooves of the horses that followed.

The archers of the Yanyun army began to retreat quickly after three arrows, retreating to the back of the army formation along the passage deliberately left by the phalanx of spearmen behind, and the archers retreated, and the spearmen immediately closed the passage.

Following the order of the commanding officer, the spearmen marched forward four or five steps in a neat step to spread out the formation, and the first row of spearmen crouched, clenched the spear shaft with both hands, and raised the spear edge upward, and the spear shaft pressed against the ground.

The soldiers in the second row were half-crouching, their spears also on the ground, and the spear blades were raised. The third row of soldiers fought upright, spears resting on the shoulders of the soldiers in front, and the same was true of the fourth, spears stretched outwards like a giant hedgehog, and under the light of torches, the blades of the dense forest gave off a palpitating cold glow.

"Kill!"

Xu Sheng roared angrily and pointed forward with a long lance.

But he held his horse back and slowed down, allowing the cavalry behind him to overtake him and crash into the gun.

……

……

The high-leaping horse smashed down from mid-air and crashed into the gun, and the knight on horseback was actually dead before he even landed. At least six or seven spears from the jumping horses poked into them fiercely. A knight on horseback, if lucky, has his legs stabbed short, but he still has a breath to live. If you are unlucky, you will be poked into a dense blood hole in your body directly by countless spears.

The spear passed through the horse's body, and the sound of bones rubbing against the blade of the spear was tooth-aching. After the heavy war horse was smashed down, it was impossible to stand up again, and it was difficult for the spearmen of the Yanyun Army who were smashed down to get up again. The light cavalry marched into formation, and if you wanted to break through the pikemen who were already in formation, there was no other way than to rely on the cavalry at the front to open the way with human lives.

The spears were so dense that the Tang soldiers who collided with them had six or seven wounds. The horses died after knocking over a group of spearmen, and their final mission was to use their bodies to clear the way for the cavalry behind them. The formation of the spearmen in the first few rows was somewhat disorganized, but the casualties of the Don cavalry were equally huge.

The defense of the light cavalry is extremely low, and the thin leather armor on the body cannot prevent the spear from piercing at all. As the cavalry and spearmen collided, the wails of men and the neighing of horses resounded in the sky.

Xu Shengfu deliberately slowed down a few points, and more than a hundred Tang cavalry overtook him and rushed over. The lance of the cavalry was much more lethal and longer than the spear in the hands of the soldiers of the Yanyun Army, but the cavalry who rushed to the front had no chance to raise the lance a second time, because each of them was facing more than one spear.

Flesh and blood splattered, murderous aura.

None of the more than 100 Tang cavalry at the front survived, and the strongest one was stabbed into a pulp after only rushing in less than ten steps. However, Yan Yunjun's gun array was also knocked open by the Tang cavalry, although this gap was not large, but it opened a door for the cavalry behind to survive.

"Kill!"

Xu Sheng shouted angrily and rushed into the gun.

As the cavalry of the Tang Army was ruthless, the gap that was knocked open was gradually torn open. The opening was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more cavalry were pouring into the gun array.

If the number of cavalry of the Tang Army is larger, it is very likely that the gun array will be completely torn apart. But Xu Shengfu only had a thousand cavalry, and the thickness of the gun array was too great, if he couldn't kill it as soon as possible, his elite cavalry would be trapped by the gun array like a quagmire. If the light cavalry loses its speed advantage and becomes trapped in a gun formation, the cavalry on horseback will become defenseless, and the grass target will be stabbed to death by the spearman in an instant.

Xu Sheng angrily poked and slashed four or five Yanyun Army soldiers in succession, his killing speed was already extremely fast, but the gun array was too thick, there were at least twenty rows of horizontal columns, the cavalry that had crashed in before only rushed through three rows, and after rushing in, he felt that the four hooves of the war horse seemed to be tripped up, and the speed was getting slower and slower.

He pierced the heart of a Yanyun Army soldier with a single lance, and pulled out the blade to sweep and cut the throat of another soldier. But just as he was about to stab again, the horse suddenly wailed and fell to the side. Xu Sheng was furious and shocked, only to find that the soldiers who were protecting him had been poked from the horseback with spears.

A spear with an ash rod and an iron blade stabbed into his mount's belly, and the horse's body trembled for a moment, and as the spear was drawn, a waterfall of blood erupted like a waterfall. This spear was drawn, and six or seven spears came immediately, and the sound of puff was incessant, and the war horse was immediately poked into a sieve.

Xu Shengfu hurriedly pulled his foot out of the stirrup, and the long lance swept back the Yanyun soldiers who rushed over, jumped off the horse, rolled on the spot to avoid the two spears, and the lance swept away, cutting off three calves. He took the opportunity to stand up and retreat sharply, and his front was immediately filled with murderous Yanyun Army spearmen.

"General, retreat!"

The cavalry of the Tang Army had been completely trapped like falling into a quagmire, and the dragon-like formation was gradually cut off and divided by the Yan Yun Army, and the cavalry that could not keep up behind shouted loudly, desperately rushing to this side to try to take Xu Shengfu back.

"If you can't rush out and retreat, I will naturally speak for you in front of Your Majesty."

"In this fight, it is not the Turks who are killed, not the Goguryeo, but the cannibalism, even if there are more people, what's the point?"

"No matter who wins, it's the man of heaven after all."

Liu Hongji's words echoed in Xu Sheng's angry ears, and he wiped a handful of blood on the corner of his mouth and suddenly laughed: "General, please forgive the last general for disobeying his orders!" In today's battle to the death, I avenged the death of my father for the last general to avenge the general! ”

"Kill!"

Xu Sheng shouted angrily and entered the crowd.

……

……

"Get out of the way!"

A loud shout rang out from behind Yan Yunjun's gun array, and then a stocky general with a pair of copper hammers in his hand separated the soldiers and rushed towards Xu Sheng angrily. As soon as he saw the pair of copper hammers, Xu Shengfu knew who the other party was. Yan Yunjun's double hammer general Pei Xingyan, known as a martial idiot, is still a madman on the battlefield.

"It's good to come!"

Xu Sheng's angry eyes, who had already been hit by two gunshot wounds, suddenly lit up, and a lance stabbed Pei Xingyan's throat, Pei Xingyan didn't dodge, and the hammer in his left hand slammed up, and with a crisp sound, the lance was immediately shaken away by the huge force on the hammer. Xu Sheng's long lance almost got out of his hand, and only then did he stabilize the lance, Pei Xingyan rushed over with an arrow, and raised the hammer in his right hand and smashed it directly on Xu Sheng's forehead.

Xu Sheng angrily raised his lance to meet him, and when he heard a bang, his two hands cracked at the same time under the huge force, and the long lance couldn't hold it and was smashed to the ground by a hammer, Pei Xingyan strode forward and kicked on Xu Sheng's angry heart. Xu Sheng's angry body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"You are not my opponent, kneel down and surrender to spare you from death."

Pei Xingyan slowly walked in front of Xu Sheng's angry side and said.

"If I'm afraid of death, why should I fight?!"

Xu Sheng got up angrily and struggled, pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and pointed it at Pei Xingyan. Blood was constantly spilling from his mouth, and it was clear that he had suffered a lot of internal injuries.

"It's a man!"

Pei Xingyan said solemnly, and then smashed it with a hammer: "I will fulfill your reputation!" ”

Blood...... Blooming on top of the shattered skull.
