There was a road in front of the chariot 3 verse xxiv
In the twenty-fourth section, nearly 5,000 black-armored elites rode in a formation on a hill, lined up in a horizontal "one" shape, which is the most ordinary "long snake formation". Although this array is the easiest of the eight formations, it is also the most difficult to evolve. There are three variations in this array, hitting the snake's head, moving the tail, and rolling; Hit the snake's tail, the first move, then bite; The snake body rampage, head to tail, is called hanging!
At the same time, if the Chinese army is assaulted, it can evolve into a conical formation, and if the Chinese army retreats, it can become an anti-"V" shape, which is what people often call a goose-shaped formation, so that it can become a cavalry defense, expand the firing area, and effectively strike at the enemy.
It is precisely because of the variety of changes in this formation, and the requirements for the discipline, cooperation, and training of the troops are extremely high, so there are only a handful of people who can really use the long snake formation well. Because of its good mobility, the Long Snake Formation has been reduced to a commonly used formation for marching troops.
Although the eagles can see far, they are also limited by language, and they can't accurately report the enemy's movements and numbers, etc., so the Black Armor Army did not use the eagles as scouts, and their scouts were cavalry.
Li Yuan stood quietly in the middle of the entire Long Snake Formation, silently listening to the scout's report.
"My lord, the enemy is about 20,000 men, divided into two phalanxes, which do not seem to belong to each other, and one of them has already been activated, and it has begun to accelerate three miles behind the mountain range, and it has pounced on us." When the scout had finished his report, he did not dismount, but turned his horse's head, and then ran off into the distance.
"My lord, the enemy's front line is approaching the mountain range, and it is about to appear. The enemy's rear phalanx also began to activate, albeit at a slower pace. Another scout came over to report.
On the mountain ridge, a fiery red flag showed a sharp point, and then with difficulty, it was pulled out one by one, and the word "Shen Yong" on the flag was particularly eye-catching. Then, countless heads appeared on the mountain, densely packed. These heads also slowly grew taller and turned into human figures, wearing all kinds of cool clothes. It's like a mountain ridge that suddenly grows countless messy leeks.
"My lord, the 10,000-strong army formation in the rear of the enemy has not accelerated, and it is also slow." At this moment, a scout came running from the side and reported loudly.
However, the dense leeks on the mountain ridge suddenly came out with a shout, and after the shout, the flood water that opened the gate and poured down from the mountain.
Li Yuan stood on the top of the mountain, calm, and even a confident smile appeared on his face after listening to the scout's report.
Tao Ziqian was guarded by a large group of guards, his face was already pale, and he felt that his whole body had been vacated and stepped on the void. It was like a boulder in his chest. He couldn't help but tremble, but he felt that the fear was getting stronger and stronger.
Even in the last battle in front of the cang, he hid in the camp and did not leave the camp, and later heard the advice of his guards that the Han army was defeated, so he escaped in a hurry. It was because he did not leave the camp that the Southern Barbarians did not have the energy to come to the camp at that time. Under the protection of dozens of guards, he easily killed it, and was just bumped into by Li Yuan, and then saved.
It was the first time he had personally experienced a real war.
Li Yuan turned his head and saw Tao Ziqian's appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Tao, take out the momentum you just taught me, don't be nervous." Try to breathe deeply. Adjust your mentality, and you will get better slowly. ”
Tao Ziqian took a few deep breaths, and felt a lot better, and a smile appeared on his pale face: "Sure enough, I didn't expect that black carbon, your method is quite effective." ”
The southern barbarians were getting closer and closer, and had already rushed to less than two miles away from the Han army's array. The sound of messy footsteps came clearly.
Feeling that the big field was coming, Li Yuan's war horse was also restless and walking in place, Li Yuan lifted the reins of the horse, and the war horse suddenly quieted down, and he said to Tao Ziqian: "Let's charge together, just remember to follow the team, we are maneuvering to fight, you stay in place alone, there are too many uncertainties, or follow the team safely." ”
Tao Ziqian's previous calm and composed temperament disappeared, his face was pale, he turned his head to look at Li Yuan, and asked tremblingly: "Black, black carbon, you won't be defeated, there are too many enemies, will we die?" ”
Li Yuan stood on the head of the horse, with a faint smile on his dark face: "Don't worry, if the cavalry is used properly, even ten times the infantry of your own may be defeated." What's more, this rabble? Speaking of this, he raised the Zhangba spear in his hand and pointed contemptuously at the Nanban soldiers who were getting closer and closer.
Tao Ziqian heard him say so confidently, and his face slowly improved. Gradually, a hint of blood rose.
Li Yuan raised the Zhangba spear in his hand, pointing obliquely to the sky, all the black-armored soldiers looked over, the black-armored elite cavalry charged, many people were used to not looking at the general flag, but looking at the spear of their main general, and then listening to Li Yuan's thunderous shouting and killing, I felt that the adults were with them, and they felt very cordial.
Li Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, and the spear pointed obliquely at the sky turned into an afterimage, and slashed downward, his tongue blooming with spring thunder: "Kill!" ”
The air shook with his shouts. All the black-armored warriors were shocked, shouted in unison, and then quickly accelerated and rushed towards each other.
The black-armored elite cavalry suddenly turned into a black current, and it poured down from this small mountain and swept towards the Nanban soldiers.
Nanban is mountainous and full of woods, not suitable for cavalry charges, and this small hill has long been cut down by local farmers and turned into a watermelon field. This makes it an excellent battlefield for cavalry charges.
The sound of hooves rumbled, and the whole ground trembled, and Ada's head was a little dizzy, and when he looked up, he saw that under the scorching sun, the tall black-armored general, was taking the lead, holding the terrifying Zhangba spear, and rushed straight towards him.
Behind him, the horsemen followed in unison, and the messy sound of horses' hooves hit the ground like a drum.
He was shocked and opened his mouth wide: "The whole army is arrayed, arrayed, close to me, and defend on the spot." ”
The Southern Barbarians had too little experience in dealing with cavalry charges, not to mention that there were so many recruits in this ranks. Many of them were so frightened that they stood still, not knowing what to do, and many simply dropped their weapons and prepared to flee. But there were still thousands of people approaching Ada, carrying all kinds of weapons, nervously looking at the black-armored elite riders who were getting closer and closer.
Li Yuan took the lead, and the soldiers behind him followed closely, and the entire long snake formation gradually broke forward, slowly changing formations, becoming a huge cone formation, and the cone head was Li Yuan.
Closer, closer, Ada held the cooked copper stick in both hands, staring nervously at Li Yuan, who was getting closer and closer. When the black tower-like figure rushed to a place more than ten meters away, he suddenly lifted the reins of the horse, and the entire war horse burst into flames, the four hooves took off, and the people and horses became one, turning into a dark cloud, and the black pressure rushed towards him.
In front of the dark clouds, a dark spear tip enveloped Sensen's murderous aura and pierced his face.
Ada's eyes widened, watching the black tip of the spear grow bigger and bigger in his eyes, and he screamed violently, squatting down with his whole body, and teasing the cooked copper stick. Blocked the opponent's fatal shot.
He suddenly snorted, took a few big steps back, and at the corner of his mouth, a wisp of bright red blood hung on it, dazzling. After all, Li Yuan was not inferior to him in terms of strength and rank, and he took advantage of the charge.
Both sides were stunned at the same time, and secretly praised each other in their hearts.
At this time, the five thousand black-armored elite cavalry behind Li Yuan had already rushed up, and in the high-speed charge, this black tide crashed into the infantry phalanx formed by the Southern Barbarians.
The entire battlefield suddenly exploded, and the green watermelon field was as if someone had stopped and slashed at the waist, and blood was splashing everywhere. There were bursts of roars on the battlefield, including the panicked shouts of the Eastern Han people and the Southern Barbarians.
Ada came back to his senses, wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth, and shouted as hard as he could: "Steady, steady, entangle each other!" ”
Once the cavalry loses the speed advantage, at some point, even the infantry is inferior, Ada intends to let everyone desperately entangle each other, forming a melee situation, so that there is a glimmer of life, and now although the 10,000 people have run some people, but nearly half of them belong to veterans. Almost all of them are natives of the Nanban, and they are also the main force of desperate resistance now.
Because not far behind them, there was also a team of 10,000 people, led by Sendagan. Once it becomes a melee situation, the other party can't get out, and when Sendagen catches up, the defeat of the other party is also a matter of time.
The black-armored spirit rider did not engage in the expected entanglement with them, but brought a gust of wind and rushed diagonally towards the rear. Ada even saw a trace of laughter lines hanging from the corners of Li Yuan's eyes when he left.
It was very contemptuous, as if the remaining thousands of people were not Nanban warriors, but a herd of pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.
Since the Han army's southern expedition, the southern barbarians have been practicing defensive warfare against the Han people, Li Yuan's black frame elite cavalry only showed its edge once in the battle in front of the cang, but because Xi Lie built a formation in the mountains, the cavalry's charging power was greatly weakened, despite this, Xi Lie was almost broken through by Li Yuan.
But this time, Li Yuan created an excellent place to charge, which made the Nanban suffer a big loss, and the Nanban lost nearly a thousand people in just such a charge.
The remaining thousands of Nanban people stayed where they were, at a loss. The strength of the cavalry in the field was far beyond their imagination, and it was not only their formation that was destroyed by the cavalry from the top of the mountain, but also their confidence.
Ada was supported by a few personal soldiers and retreated into the chaotic crowd, and the remaining 4,000 or so southern barbarians did not retreat, because in their eyes, these hateful Han people had plundered their homeland, and they had a reason to fight to the death.
Watching these black-armored cavalry shout, they rushed to the opposite hillside. And the formation is neat and uniform, and there is no chaos at all. Farther and farther away, but his heart grew more and more frightened. This time it lost thousands of people, so what about the next time the other party charges, and then the next time?
For the first time, he regretted his recklessness, and if he pursued with Sendagan, he wouldn't have ended up like this, right?
In his frustration, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and when he looked up, he saw that the other party was at the end of the formation, and one person fell down. Then rolled a few times. I threw myself into this watermelon patch. It didn't move, and the end of the Han army was suddenly in chaos, and a small group of people broke away from the formation. Screaming and rushing towards the man, he was about to run to the rescue.
So far, I have not seen any Han people fall unexpectedly in the fierce battle. Even if there were, I didn't see the other party make such a fuss. Then, this fallen person must be an important person. Ada pushed away the personal soldiers who were supporting him, and said in a loud voice: "Up, everyone, catch the person who fell off the horse." There are many prizes. After saying that, regardless of his serious injuries, he pulled out the crowd first and threw himself at the man who had fallen off the horse.
The soldiers beside him suddenly let out an exclamation, and then followed Ada and pounced. The southern barbarians saw that the "Divine Brave General" was in such a situation. also took the lead in charging personally, and his low morale was suddenly shocked, and they followed Ada and rushed over.
This fallen person is none other than Tao Ziqian, Master Tao!
The place where he fell off his horse was more than 300 meters away from the Southern Barbarians. These more than 300 meters are naturally achieved overnight for Ada. But now, he felt so far away.
The Southern Barbarians, under the leadership of Ada, rushed towards Tao Ziqian. It is already one hundred and fifty meters away from the place where Tao Ziqian fell off the horse.
Tao Ziqian's group of pro-soldiers were anxious, shouted, and rushed up with weapons one after another. The two sides fought together. The sound of killing was overwhelming, and more southern barbarians poured over. Tao Ziqian's personal guards are only dozens of people, how to resist, the shape is suddenly precarious.
Tao Ziqian got up, looking at this hellish scene, his face changed greatly. I felt like my whole foot was stepping on the cotton, and even the hissing sound in front of me became illusory.
"My lord, let's go!" Two bloodied soldiers supported him and moved him up the mountain. The personal guard recruited by the Tao family's prime minister's house. The treatment is generous, and once the warrior enters, he will give him land and settle his family. So very faithful. They also understand that once the master is gone, they will have nothing, and even the children of the family will suffer.
Ada took a few soldiers, with red eyes, and broke through the blockade of the guards, and was about to arrest Tao Ziqian.
"My lord, let's go." The two pro-soldiers put down Tao Ziqian and rushed forward with their swords. Entangled with Ada. Both of these are third-stage martial artists, and one is even a third-stage martial artist. In normal times, Ada is naturally very easy to deal with, but now that he is injured, these two are also in a desperate posture. For a while, it was difficult to break through.
Tao Ziqian walked in a daze. Two screams came from behind him. Extremely familiar, he knew that he might really have to explain here this time. Thinking about walking, it is even more decadent.
There was a roar behind him, it was the weapon of the "Brave Warrior" Ada, right? You don't have to look to know it. He was desperate in his heart.
"Beware!" An urgent shout came. Then he felt his body float. It was lifted by a large and powerful hand. Soaring clouds and fog. A crisp sound of gold and iron shook his ears a little numb.
Li Yuan raised his Zhangba spear and once again blocked a knife that slashed at Tao Ziqian. He put him behind his back and asked loudly, "Master Tao, are you okay?" ”
Tao Ziqian was shocked, leaned on his broad back, and said tremblingly: "Thank you, thank you, Black Carbon!" ”
Li Yuan shouted: "Brothers, withdraw, the goose-shaped formation." Cavalry shooting against the enemy, the opponent's follow-up troops are coming. ”
The Han army quickly changed its formation, slowly becoming a one-line, and then the middle formation became faster and faster, turning into an anti-"V" shape.
Ada wanted to chase after him, but after a round of arrows from the other party, he hesitated after losing dozens of corpses. looked at each other leisurely and left.
In the rear, Sendagan's 10,000-strong squad arrived.
……
The sky was full of stars, and nearly 5,000 black-armored soldiers were marching on the mountain road. The sound of hooves is chaotic and clear.
In the sound of horses' hooves, Li Yuan was standing on a black horse, looking at the brilliant starry sky. Tao Ziqian patted his horse and caught up with him: "Black carbon, I really thank you this time for saving my life again." I owe you two lives. In the future, I will no longer dare to underestimate the generals. ”
Li Yuan turned his head, grinned, and pointed to the group of black-armored sergeants who were marching: "Don't say that, now everyone is in the same boat, besides, if it weren't for you this time, once the plague broke out, I don't know how many of these thousands of men would be left." They are all good brothers who have lived and died with me, and if I want to say thank you, I should thank you. ”
"Okay, your black carbon friend, I've made up my mind, let's work together and break a way. In the same boat! ”
"Okay, work together, help each other in the same boat!"
……
The summer wind, slightly smoky, blew everyone a little indulging, and even blew the discussion of the two people far away.
These three paragraphs are written very sadly, and I feel a little rough. I don't want to say much specifically.,I originally wanted to put it in the biography.,But after thinking about it.,It's not appropriate.,Because it's related to the plot of "Li Dai Taozhuang" in the middle of the period.,So I can only put the text.,I hope that people who read this article will be patient and read it.,Although it's not the protagonist's play.。
