Chapter 545: The Drums of War (3)
The barbed spear of the Yizhou soldiers is all made of apple tree trunks, which has a characteristic that if the force is too strong, it will be violently broken, and it will be used as a building material, which is obviously to make a series of tofu scum projects, but it is suitable to use as a cavalry squirt. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info high-speed hedge, the bayonet gun in the opponent's body, the arm holding the gun is quite terrifying, if the gun can not be broken in time, you have to rely on the cavalry's instantaneous judgment to release the arm, loose early to stab the undead, loose late to stab the opponent, their own arm is finished.
Yizhou soldiers uphold the tradition of Dingzhou cavalry, this kind of stabbing guns are disposable, with the army baggage battalion are carrying a large number of this kind of apple wood and iron gun heads, if the battle is won, the iron gun head can also be recycled for secondary processing.
Li Ping half crouched on the galloping horse, the horse under the crotch has been following him from the grassland, it is a purebred grassland horse, tall and imposing, excellent for short sprints, the lack is that the endurance is not good, he is now used as a sentry horse, should be replaced with a war horse with better endurance, but Li Ping has a relationship with it, and he does not want to change horses. A person and a horse have been together for a long time, and naturally they are also spiritual, Li Ping has a very small action, and the war horse under the crotch knows Li Ping's intentions, and this horse has gone through a lot of wars, and the experience is also extremely rich, sometimes it does not need to be controlled by the owner, and it can also make some accurate rebellion, such a psychic war horse, where is Li Ping willing to replace it.
The stabbing gun is like piercing a piece of wood, with a broken sound, the barrel of the gun is shattered, and there is a short scream from the opposite side, the stinger gun made by Dingzhou is a few points longer than the Dachu standard stabbing gun, not carefully distinguished, it is not easy to detect at all, this is also the masterpiece of the Dingzhou craftsman battalion, the craftsmen are stimulated by Li Qing's thick reward, there are a large number of people who are specifically studying how to solve the weapon, that is, how to make some ordinary weapons better to use, more practical, and more effective to kill the enemy, the length of this stabbing gun is the product of countless simulation experiments.
Li Ping doesn't need to observe whether the person who was shot is dead, the collision at this speed, the probability of surviving after being shot is equal to zero, even if you are wearing a thick Kai armor, the huge force in the shock is enough to knock you off the horse, after falling off the horse, even if you don't die, you are also tragic, thousands of horses' hooves are waiting for you!
With a flip of the wrist, he pulled out the combat power tied to the back of the war horse, the blade dragged horizontally, the war horse under the crotch neighed, the giant flung off, and a opposing horse that rushed to pass by was hit by it, and on the side of the body, the knight's flat bayonet suddenly fell to the side, and with a bang, the knight was immediately pierced off the horse by the opposite bayonet.
"Captain Li, mighty!" The comrades-in-arms laughed and rushed up.
Li Ping laughed, this is not the first time this kind of scene has happened. "Kill!" With a loud shout, he slashed down with his sword, knocking one of his enemies off his horse, and blood splattered all over him. Stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, slimy, fishy and sweet, Li Ping still remembered that after the first killing, the deep smell of blood made him unable to eat for several days, in fact, most people in the Yizhou camp at that time were like this, General Li Feng once roared loudly in the camp, "If you don't kill people, people will kill you, if you want to live longer, you don't want your parents to cry and grab the ground, get out of me!" β
In fact, Li Ping knew that General Li Feng was also vomiting in his big tent, but when he saw that Li Feng was still holding up a piece of roasted leg of mutton and biting it and swallowing it with a big gulp, he couldn't help but step up, picked up a piece of meat, endured nausea, and swallowed it one bite at a time.
But now, Li Ping has no feeling for killing, and after a war is over, sometimes in order to seize the time, he even sits in a pool of blood, next to the corpse, and cuts a piece of the flesh of a dead horse with a knife, and he can gnaw it bloodily.
The left hand was raised, and the crossbow was fired continuously, knocking down several enemies one after another, and the knife in the right hand was slashed and sharpened, and in an instant, several lives were harvested in a row.
These more than 100 sentry cavalry have similar experience to Li Ping, and the Yizhou Battalion, which was formed with 5,000 cavalry who had been on the battlefield in the Pingban Campaign, is indeed extraordinary.
One hundred against two hundred, but it is a few who have the upper hand.
A hedge, Li Ping killed the enemy formation, ran forward for a distance, and when he circled the horses, he saw that there were about seventy soldiers left behind him, but the other party, more than two hundred people, only about half were left, and at this time, the other party also circled the horses, and the sinister smile on Li Ping's face was different, and the other party's face obviously showed a look of fear.
"Kill!" Looking at the other party's scattered formation, Li Ping smiled, spit out, and clamped the horse's belly between his legs, like lightning, and the war knife under his crotch rushed out.
After breaking through the formation again, circling the horse's head, Li Ping saw the enemy's back, and the Qinzhou cavalry, which only had more than 40 horsemen left, did not turn back this time, but rushed out, and immediately beat the horse and fled wildly forward.
Li Ping laughed, "Rats, dare to come to my Yizhou!" β
"Captain, catch up and kill the girl!" One of the horsemen shouted.
Li Ping shook his head and pointed to the smoke and dust in the distance, "The son of a bitch has come to reinforce the soldiers, chase a fart, pack up the loot, take the remains of your comrades, and go back!" β
In this encounter, Li Ping lost nearly forty people, most of whom were sacrificed in the first hedge, and the second time the two sides intersected again, but the other party was already cold and angry, Li Ping only killed the opponent's seventy or eighty people at the cost of more than ten people.
The cavalrymen quickly dismounted, packed up the bodies of their comrades, tied them to the horses, and then collected some of the booty that could be used, collected some ownerless horses, tied them together, camelled the booty, and immediately returned the horses.
This small-scale encounter caused an extremely big shock to the Qinzhou soldiers, and the opponent almost wiped out their own cavalry with less than twice the strength of their own side, this kind of combat power is already a little terrifying.
Zhou Tong was so angry that he was angry, this time he made a big ugly appearance in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and Zhou Tong, who was furious, immediately ordered the more than forty cavalry who fled back to be beheaded, and the head traveled all over the battalions, and his general order arrived at the battalions with the head: "When the time is right, you need to fight to the death, and those who retreat will be killed!" β
The Qinzhou army was suddenly solemn. Since stretching out the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, why not move forward bravely and pull a cushion back!
The Qinzhou army rolled forward, and more than 40 people hung their heads high on the flags of the battalion commanders, and their hideous faces always reminded all the soldiers that those who retreated died!
On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the Luoyang army and the Yizhou army broke out in a tragic Bowang battle. As the vanguard of the Qinzhou army commander Zhou Tong led 30,000 Qinzhou troops, in Bowang and more than 15,000 Yizhou soldiers bloody battle for a day and a night, the Yizhou army formation stood still, the commander of the Yizhou army, was in the prime of life of Weiyuan waiting for Li Muzhi in the most critical moment of the war personally went into battle, mentioned the iron spear of the seven barbarian generals in the Weiyuan fortress that year, led his own soldiers to highlight the enemy formation, and killed until only one arrow was left from Zhou Tong's Chinese army banner, and then returned, its fierce momentum, its martial might, so that Zhou Tong was shocked.
Tianqi, who was standing beside Zhou Tong, looked at the mighty and mighty Li Muzhi, and felt a relative, Li Muzhi fought bloodily for Da Chu at the beginning, but time has passed, and now he is fighting with Da Chu.
Seeing that Zhou Tong also wanted to follow Li Muzhi's example and go out to fight in person to boost morale, Tianqi sighed and said, "General Zhou, let's truce today, and when the Xingzhou soldiers come over, let's attack again!" β
In fact, Zhou Tongxin also understands that although he has twice as many soldiers as the other party, Yizhou has always taken the elite route, although there are few soldiers, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and later Li Qing rose, Yizhou has a big backer, whether it is weapons and equipment, or the quality of soldiers, it has been greatly pulled up to a level, and it is difficult to win with only double the number. But people fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a pillar of incense, in front of His Majesty the Emperor, even if the Qinzhou soldiers are fought out today, he has to stand up, at this time to hear the Emperor of the Apocalypse say this, it is really like hearing the sound of the sky.
Three days later, Qu Yongjie came with the Xingzhou soldiers, but Li Muzhi pulled out the camp and left, overnight, he retreated cleanly, without dragging the mud and water, Qu Yongjie looked at the empty Yizhou army camp, and was extremely puzzled, retreated so completely and simply, and did not show a little shadow in advance, it can only explain one thing, that is, Li Muzhi made up his mind to retreat before the war, in this case, why did he have to fight a bloody battle here, you know, although Zhou Tong's Qinzhou soldiers suffered a large loss, but Li Muzhi was even more difficult! Fighting for troops, where is Yizhou now the opponent here. Even if Wei Yuanhou wants to gamble on this, Li Huaiyuan, the Duke of Anguo, is old and strong, how can he let Li Muzhi come. Qu Yongjie was a little puzzled.
Li Muyi retreated a hundred miles, in Changxing has already laid the second line of defense, at this time, the soldiers and horses in his hands have quietly withdrawn thousands of elites, now he is in Changxing, the available soldiers are less than 10,000, but in order to decorate the faΓ§ade, there are a large number of reserve soldiers to join, so that it still maintains a number of 10,000 above the total number.
"Five days, hold on here for five days!" Li Muzhi looked at the enemy army rolling on the horizon, and after Changxing, he had already entered the core defense circle of Yizhou, where An Guogong prepared a sumptuous feast for the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Compared with the Qinzhou front, after Zhang Aimin's Minzhou army and 10,000 imperial forest troops entered Quanzhou, they shook a shot, and the whole army swooped into the territory of Yizhou like lightning, as Qu Yongjie said, on the western front, the defense of the Yizhou soldiers was almost equal to nothing, and the sudden withdrawal of the Dingzhou army made the west side of Yizhou completely exposed, and there were very few regular troops, most of them were temporarily armed local troops, and they collapsed at the touch of a button, and the Minzhou army was inserted into the hinterland of Yizhou at lightning speed, and approached the core of Yizhou, Yizhou City. The war went smoothly, so that Zhang Aimin was also dumbfounded, he even ordered several times to slow down the pace of advance, sent a large number of sentinels to explore the way, Qu Yongjie's advice to him made him cautious.
At the same time, the Dingzhou Army in Zunhua has been quickly reorganized, all the cavalry of the Yishan Division and the Qinian Division have been assembled, and the total of 20,000 cavalry of the two divisions has been organized into a rapid strike force, commanded by the mountain wind, and the remaining 40,000 foot soldiers are commanded by Wang Qinian.
Long Xiaotian, the governor of Quanzhou, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, collected a large number of mules and horses in Quanzhou in the name of collecting mules and horses to transport logistics for the retreating army, and even did not let go of the ploughing cattle, all of them were gathered together to transport Wang Qinian's foot soldiers and baggage, and try to increase the speed of the army's advance.
The Dingzhou Army, which was fully prepared, could be called the most primitive mechanized army compared to the speed of the army's advance in that era.
"It's time!" Li Qing put down the military newspaper in his hand and said lightly: "General Guo, let's attack, I wish you a smooth sail!" β
Guoshan Feng hugged his fists and saluted Li Qing, "Dingzhou Army, you will win!" He turned and strode out of the account.
After an instant, in the camp, the sound of hooves was like thunder.
Listening to the sound of hooves gradually moving away, Li Qing let out a long breath, and finally started, and he was going back to Dingzhou.
