Chapter 105: A flurry of slashing
Guarding Xikou Fort was a small colonel named Chen Ping, who was also an old man who followed Li Guo. Chen Ping has a stable temperament, the attack is insufficient, and the defense is more than enough, and the 500 people stationed here are also elite soldiers. Another 1,000 men were members of the Protectorates, and they rotated every month, and as long as they were stationed on the Great Wall for a month, they would be treated like regular troops, with three pieces of silver each.
Therefore, in the face of the attack of fifteen hundred Tartars, Chen Ping responded calmly, plus his own soldiers were on the walls of the Great Wall, and the terrain was high. The Tartar ignored him when he was far away, and shot him a few arrows when he got closer, so that the Tartar did not fall.
And more than 1,000 land protectors gradually calmed down under Chen Ping's appeasement. Although these people did not have bows and arrows like the five hundred elite soldiers, these thousand people now had spears in their hands, and even if there were Tartars to climb the city wall, they would be pierced with a shot halfway up, so the West Mouth Fort was well guarded.
Originally, the Tartars were not good at attacking cities, but now that they met the calm and dignified Chen Ping, the 1,500 Tartars were very depressed, and decided to bluff and shout for a while and go back.
But Tartar was very unlucky, because at this time Lee came.
Who is Li Guo? It has always been Li Guo who robbed others, and now someone wants to rob Li Guo, isn't this a joke?
So, hearing that the Tartars were harassing Xikou Fort, Li Guo decided to take a look.
But all the generals are against Li Cheng, and everyone is very worried, our tiger master sometimes ignores it, and he is really a bit of a tiger! And this master died at every turn, scaring everyone enough, who do you say wants him to go to the front of the battle to kill the enemy?
Huang Xiu also said, "Now we have more people, not as many as before, and besides, there are really Tartars who violate the pass, and there are not many people." Now that each general can also be in charge of himself, you might as well train at home and send someone to do so. ”
Everyone nodded yes.
Li Guo shook his head in his heart, how can this be done, now he is stronger than before, but his strength is still not strong enough, he can't say that he does everything himself, but the foreign enemy invades, and he must come to the battlefield in person.
Moreover, the 3,000 cavalry trained by Qi Laohan are his own elite soldiers, according to Qi Laohan, they have made rapid progress and can basically kill the enemy. Li Guo was happy in his heart, and he was worried that he couldn't find someone to practice, so how could he not go in person?
Li Guo glared at Huang Xiu: "Woman's opinion!" Huang Xiu was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything.
So Liu Tichun, Gu Ying and others followed with 3,000 cavalry, accompanied by Nie Xin, Sun Dengke and others, as well as Qi Laohan and Xi Keteng.
More than 100 Oroqen warriors from Xiketeng gathered together again, and selected some big men with big shoulders and round waists and accurate archery, and formed a strong bow battalion of 500 people, and also followed Li Guotong.
When I arrived near Fort Xikou, I already heard shouts of killing, what's the matter? The Tartars are on the offset? Li Guo hurried over, but when he arrived at the city, he found that it was not like it. Li Guo climbed the city wall and saw that there were about a few hundred cavalry and more than a thousand infantry outside.
Looking at the Tartar soldiers outside, Li Guo smiled.
The Tartars outside were in a hurry, and since they had conducted reconnaissance yesterday and tried to sneak attack unsuccessfully, the Tartars launched an attack this morning and failed. Now these people have lost their spirit, they just keep shouting and shouting, and they also shoot a few arrows from time to time, which is not a rule.
Li Guole walked down the Great Wall, thinking to himself that his elite soldiers were a bit overkill to deal with these individuals.
"Open the gates! Kill it! "Li Guo ordered, not even in line. Dealing with these stragglers, they have already run away with the kung fu of setting up a formation!
The Tartars outside the city were about to leave, when the gate of the West Exit Fort was opened, and the Tartar soldiers were stunned. Then we were overjoyed and killed, those Ming troops will not be our opponents!
The leader of the Tartars who led the team became excited, and this man's name was Batuu. Batu They are very clear about the fighting strength of the Ming army. At that time, the Ming army guarding the border passes, if they could stick to the Great Wall and not be broken through, they could be regarded as qualified generals. In the face of the Mongolian iron cavalry, dare to go out of the city to fight, looking for death!
Therefore, when these so-called Ming troops went out of the city, Batu raised his scimitar and shouted, "Kill into the pass, the beauty and treasure are ours!" ”
So, the Tartars rushed towards the gates, but they immediately stopped.
The rumbling hooves of horses sounded, and thousands of horses rushed out of the city gates, and the horsemen on the horses were neatly dressed, all dressed in earthy blue cloth. The first one was a young general, holding a big knife in his hand, shouting and killing, it was Li Guo.
The Tartar soldiers were taken aback, why are there so many people in the Ming army?
The leader Batu was very brave, although he was stunned for a moment, but in the face of thousands of people, he was not afraid, and he also raised the scimitar in his hand and rushed over.
Li Guo's eyes widened angrily, and he thought, I haven't killed the enemy for a while, this time Lao Tzu has a good time! Looking at Batu who was rushing over, Li Guo raised his knife and scolded, Nima's!
But just listening to the sound of the bowstring, a long and heavy arrow shot past Li Guo's side, and with a pop pierced Batu's head, Batu was shot off the horse directly!
Li Guo turned his face slightly, saw Sikten's triumphant expression, and scolded in his heart, not letting Lao Tzu enjoy it.
So Li Guo changed his knife technique, and with an oblique slash, he cut off half of the face of a Tartar soldier. The Tartar soldier didn't die for a while, he dropped his weapon, hugged his head and screamed wildly, Liu Tichun went up and slaughtered him.
As a result, Li Guo had no chance to make a move.
Everyone was worried about Li Guo's safety, and fought bravely to kill the enemy, coupled with the large number of people, 3,500 elite cavalry faced the enemy's 500 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, this was simply a massacre!
Li Guo saw that the enemy was not enough to fight, so he stopped the horse, looked at the hot scene in front of him, and nodded in his heart, grandma's, these rabbit cubs are really good!
But seeing the rattan sword soldiers wielding broadswords and slashing indiscriminately, and the big arrows of the strong bow battalion flying wildly, the Tartar soldiers who had always been very arrogant in front of them were killed outside the West Castle one after another like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
I saw a rain of blood, a Tartar's head was cut off, and with a scream, a Tartar's arm was gone.
The infantryman was running fast when a large arrow came at him, pierced through his chest, and pinned him to the ground. The cavalryman tried to fight back, but a large spear stabbed him off his horse, and in the blink of an eye he was trampled into flesh by the horse's hooves.
Accompanied by the wailing of the Tartars, I saw the rain of blood and the sound of killing.
In the shouting of killing, Li Guo's soldiers were extremely brave, and almost killed the 1,500 Tartars!
A few Tartars who escaped with their lives ran away like flying, and they didn't even dare to look back, for fear of delaying the time to escape, and they were already scared by Li Guo's fart!
Li Guo was very satisfied, his own offensive was too fierce, and the number of people was large, and there were few casualties. Moreover, after cleaning the battlefield, in addition to bows and swords, he also got more than 300 war horses, Li Guo nodded, these are all good horses, they are worth dozens of taels of silver! It doesn't cost much to sell, and Lao Tzu still has to train soldiers!
Li Guo returned to the city tower triumphantly, and saw Qi Laohan who was watching the battle, "Master, you see that I didn't fight according to the formation, I don't know if it's right or not!" ”
Looking at the triumphant Li Guo, Qi Laohan yelled, "Fart!" Isn't it pedantic to use battle formations to deal with this kind of enemy! But Qi Laohan was very happy in his heart, Li Guo, a criminal who is not rigid in his life, may really be able to carry forward his skills in the future!
