Chapter 81: The End of the Crossbow

Li Xiang led his troops into the enemy camp in Ordos, and the soldiers who were guarding at the gate of the camp saw the menacing Li Xiang and the 500 soldiers behind Li Xiang who were under the leadership of the tigers, so frightened that they turned around and ran, shouting as they ran: "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming." ”

Li Xiang took the bow and arrow from the side of the horse, bent the bow and arrows while galloping, did not aim with one eye, leaned back and pulled the bow like a full moon, only to hear a whoosh, the arrow shot out and instantly penetrated the bodies of the two fleeing soldiers. The five hundred soldiers of the Ming army suddenly shouted, and the general's morale was high, although there were only five hundred, but the sound of killing shook the sky, and the camp in Ordos was constantly panicked, and suddenly looked slightly defeated.

Li Xiang's heart became more and more nervous, could it be that he was really worried too much, and he was blind to the good plan before. Just thinking about it, the fast horse had already come to the front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and there were more guards in front of the big tent, about 20 people. Li Xiang didn't care about this, he waved his spear to fight left and right, danced wildly, and instantly opened a path. The guards hurriedly wanted to chase after them, but they were instantly overwhelmed by five hundred armor soldiers.

Li Xiang rode in, there was a person lying on the bed, Li Xiang raised his gun and stabbed, as soon as he pricked down, Li Xiang felt that something was wrong, why was it so soft, it didn't feel like a blade inserted into ** at all. Li Xiang picked up the man on the bed with a gun, there was no light in the tent, and nothing could be seen in the darkness, Li Xiang picked up the mass of things and took a closer look, and couldn't help but "ah", it turned out to be a dummy, and then shouted: "It's a plan, quickly withdraw with me." ”

At this moment, torches rose all around, and Ordos warriors from all directions rushed out and surrounded Li Xiangtuan. Li Xiang took a deep breath and calmed down the ups and downs in his heart. The corners of his mouth showed a miserable smile, he didn't guess wrong, as long as he put his life here today, he also had to change a victory, maybe this is the final victory, but this victory must belong to Daming, and he raised his eyebrows in shame before the snow!

—————————————————————————————————————

The gun broke. The knife was rolled, and Li Xiang's body was already stained with blood, and he didn't know if it was his own blood or the enemy's. was hit by two arrows on his body, but the strange thing is that Li Xiang didn't feel pain at all, he had also been injured before, and Li Xiang, who was lighter than now, was in pain, but this time it was different. It turns out that the feeling of killing red eyes and fighting hard is like this.

Li Xiang held this knife that killed people to the edge. Dressed in a rough manner, he looked at the enemies who were gathering more and more, and the enemies came from all directions, as if they were endless, and at a glance there were at least six thousand people. Surrounded by more than 6,000 people, he is like a flat boat in the sea. Li Xiang's eyes were blood-red at this time, and blood poured into his pupils. His mouth and nose were also covered with blood due to the heat, and the horses under him were also hit by arrows, and there were many cuts of different shades on their bodies. Both the front and back legs trembled a little.

Li Xiang could feel the trembling of the horse, but he knew that the horse was not afraid, but tired. This horse was given to Li Xiang by Lu Bing, it is a good war horse, as a general, the blade and the horse are loved, Li Xiang is very fond of this kind of hard-to-find BMW, when he returned to Beijing, he rode on the streets of the capital, not only the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, but even those dignitaries and nobles who do not look at themselves on weekdays will look at themselves a few more times. With doubts and envy in his eyes, BMW represents identity.

The horse had a lot of stamina, but it didn't affect its speed. And as a war horse, it is very bold, it is not afraid of the thunder of war drums or the explosion of gunpowder, or the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. Never because of the outside world, do not listen to the master's words, and even raise his hooves to throw the master off the horse. Even if there is a wall in front of it, if Li Xiang does not pull the reins and still lets the horse rush forward, it will rush forward without hesitation. The war horses sent by Lu Bing are not fierce horses, or they are not fierce horses now, their former temper has been honed by horse trainers, and the only thing left is obedience and courage, which are trained by dozens of horse trainers who have specially invited them for a lot of money.

In this way, not only will it be much easier to fight in the future, but it will also be convenient to give it to the princes and nobles, so as not to hurt the master's family because the horse's temper is too strong, but on the contrary, good things will become bad things and things will backfire.

But now the horse was trembling, and his body was trembling, and even his limbs were almost unsteady, and he was spewing rough air from his nose, and with each sip, there were flakes of blood from his mouth and nose. Li Xiang knew that the horse was not afraid, but tired, its injuries were too serious, it was already persistent, like the end of a strong crossbow, doing the last struggle, and why not himself?

Looking back at his sergeants, they all fought bloodily. Although there is a difference in the body of the Han and Hu people, they should have been invincible, but with Li Xiang, the supreme commander, by his side, he played the role of a leading soldier, and he had the determination to be forced into a desperate situation to fight against the water, so as long as there was a trace of strength after being seriously injured by one enemy and ten hands, he was still waving the blade in his hand in vain, until he was overwhelmed by the enemy or swallowed his last breath.

The soldiers are not wrong, it is useless to surrender now, Ordos is the enemy, this is the first battle, the Ming army hopes to get off to a good start, and can win the first battle to boost morale, the enemy also thinks so, so it will not leave a living mouth, but will kill as much as it is cruel and cruel, in order to intimidate the Han army. What's more, the Hu people have always been brutal, when the Wuhu rebellion was in China, the northern Han people were exterminated, they thought that they and the Han people were not the same race, and the Han people were just two-legged sheep. Therefore, even if you surrender now, it is a death, and you may die a miserable death, it is better to kill one to earn one, and kill a pair to earn a pair.

Suddenly, the soldiers of Ordos stopped attacking, and Li Xiang and his soldiers took advantage of this rare gap to rest with their blades supporting their bodies. Li Xiang counted the number of people, and there were only more than 200 people left, including himself, more than 200 people, all of whom were living people without injuries.

The soldiers of Ordos suddenly divided into left and right, and a group of ironclad soldiers came, the first row knelt down, the second row half-squatted, and the third row stood upright, holding different types of shields to form a one-man high ironclad wall. This iron armor wall can be increased in height at any time, even if you ride on a horse, as long as you lower your body can dodge the arrows, if you turn over and dismount, it is even safer. All this shows that important people on the Ordos side are going to come out.

Sure enough, after a while, Hu Ren, who was in his thirties and thirties, urged his horse out, followed by a team of guards. He reined in his horse, stopped at the ironclad wall, and the torches lit around him. The man had a beautiful beard, very neatly trimmed, not as scruffy as the average Mongol, nor as rude as most of the generals of Ordos. Although he also led the Mongols with a fierce force. But there is a trace of elegance in it, if it weren't for the clothes on his body and the fierceness of the blades he matched, he really looked like a Confucian general.

The man looked at Li Xiang and the others, then was stunned, and reprimanded sideways: "Why are there so few people!" ”

"There were about 500 people in total." One of the generals beside him replied in confusion.

The man was furious and said: "We have fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, all the ambushes have been exposed, and these people are just bait." ”

"Horse me," the general was speechless for a moment and panicked.

It turned out that the man who came out like a Confucian general was the man who was Ma Hara, and Li Xiang had been stationed at the border for so long. Although there is not much ink in his stomach, it does not mean that Li Xiang is stupid, although he is not good at speaking in Mongolian, he can guess the general meaning after listening to and guessing. Now when he heard the horse's words, his body was shocked, and he immediately knew that it was the other party's commander in front of him.

Li Xiang roared: "Come and take your life!" "Then a clip of the horse's belly. Went straight to Hara, trying to capture the thief and turn the tide of the battle. The horses were tired and badly wounded. But he still let out a hissing roar and rushed towards Hara like an arrow from the string, Lao Ji Fu was determined to be thousands of miles, and the last struggle was integrated with Li Xiang on horseback. The warriors behind Li Xiang saw the general like this, and they also rushed out with a shout.

The horses were in front of the ironclad wall in an instant, and the horses were so fast that before most of them could react, the horse's front hooves stepped on the shield, and the horse neighed one last time, and then jumped high and jumped. Li Xiang had some martial arts on his body and kicked the stirrup. He got into the saddle and jumped almost a foot high. Holding aloft the bladed sword, he slashed at Harra's head from top to bottom.

After the horses used up their last strength, they fell heavily to the ground, instantly overwhelming a group of soldiers with shields, and the Ordos army, which was surrounded like a bucket of water for a while, actually panicked.

At the same time, the army led by Leper Hua also arrived, and he saw Li Xiang rushing out with only five hundred people, and the old brother for many years naturally understood the reason for Li Xiang's temporary change of hexagram, although he was very anxious in his heart, he did not rush up, although such impulse was righteous, but it hurt Li Xiang's plan and some mind. At this time, the sound of killing in the rear of the Ordos camp shook the sky, and more than 1,500 people rushed over like tigers descending the mountain, and fought with the Ordos army that was caught off guard and was attacked behind the enemy.

Li Xiang jumped in the air, and with the power of his fall, and his own arm strength, he slashed towards Hara, and he was stabbed in the head. Hara could have turned his horse and ran away, but at this time, there was a panic in the rear blocking his way, and the front was blocked because Li Xiang's mount overwhelmed the shield soldier and blocked the way, so he could only take Li Xiang's knife with a hard blade.

The two weapons were connected, only to hear a sound, and a large piece of spark appeared in an instant, and then saw that Hara was smashed and turned off the horse, and the pain that the tiger's mouth could not say, looked down and saw that they were all cracked by shock, and his arms were even more numb. The blade in Li Xiang's hand finally died at this time, broken into two, and thanks to this knife that killed a lot of people before, the blade of the knife had cracks and the edge of the knife was also rolled, otherwise with this Li Xiang's unexpected slash from the sky, the horse would have to be halved now.

Li Xiang threw away the single knife in his hand and roared angrily: "God doesn't help me but the thief!" ”

The Ordos army was in chaos at this time, they were originally surrounding Li Xiang, and the density of the ranks was very large, and it was not at all to describe it as airtight, although Li Xiang and his soldiers were almost unable to fly, but the Ordos army also tasted the consequences at this time.

The rear team was caught off guard and turned to meet the enemy, but the front team was crowded together and it was difficult to turn around, and everyone was crowded, and their numerical superiority and cavalry superiority could not be brought into play at all. Some soldiers wanted to step forward to kill the enemy, while others wanted to retreat, and the Ordos army was huddled together, and they trampled many of their own people to death before they could fight.

But this situation did not last long, and soon under the leadership of the generals, they turned their horses' heads in batches and went around in a circle to attack the two wings and the rear of the Ming army's leprosy Huabu, which was quite encircled again. Li Xiang has killed and injured a lot of enemies, although the outnumbered people are now less than fifty people left around him, and Leper Hua accidentally killed and injured many enemy soldiers, but if you want to defeat the opponent, it is impossible, after all, the difference in numbers is too great, both Li Xiang and Leper Hua understand.

Now that we have the advantage in the number of casualties on both sides of the enemy, it is the rhythm of retreating to Mingjin, as bandits, they have always been the style to leave. Besides, Li Xiang now has no blade in his hand, and he barely snatched a knife from an enemy soldier, but he has also suffered a lot of blows on his body.

Leper Hua took the people, taking advantage of the fact that the Ordos army did not form an encirclement again, saved Li Xiang and the surviving soldiers, and killed them outside the camp. Naturally, Hala refused to do it, and led the troops to chase after him, not to mention the riding skills of the steppe peoples, not to mention the archery. The Han cavalry can ride and shoot in the minority, if it can shoot arrows while riding a horse, it belongs to the talent in the army, and those who can spread the reins and shoot arrows downhill are already considered one in a hundred. Among the Han people, horses are more expensive than people, and naturally there are a lot of opportunities to practice, where are they willing to use them in ordinary times, and besides, war horses eat differently from working animals, and they have to be fed with concentrate to eat better than people, so they are even more reluctant. It is not easy to have more than 1,000 cavalry like Li Xiang.

The human legs could not outrun the horse's legs, and the Ming army would not turn back and shoot arrows while running, so the advantage they had when they attacked was flattened when they retreated. Li Xiang didn't speak, he was coldly watched by the leper Hua Tuo on the horse, watching the brothers behind him fall to the ground one by one, and his heart was extremely painful.

The rocky slope was getting closer and closer, a hundred, fifty, ten steps, and when Li Xiang ran past, he suddenly shouted at the soldiers in ambush on horseback: "Ignite the fire!" ”
