Chapter 536: The Bloody Battle Outside Jingdezhen (4)

Chao Gai also saw the situation on Shi Bao's side in the battlefield, hundreds of pikemen in the northwest corner were rushed open, the formation was out of order, an officer and army general was leading more than a thousand cavalry to attack the circle, this court general was fierce and unusually stabbed seven or eight Liangshan soldiers in a row, only a few zhang away from the handsome banner.

When Nanli Taibao Shibao saw this, a stream of blood rushed straight to the top of his head, and he immediately roared, picked up the big sword in his hand and rushed directly to the official and general of the imperial court, and at this moment, a cold arrow shot at it.

"Poof!" The ground shot the outside of Shi Bao's left leg, Shi Bao was shocked, clenched his steel teeth, endured the huge pain, his left leg was not supported, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, supporting his huge body with a big knife.

The officer and general laughed fiercely, the war horse galloped, he swung his spear sideways and stabbed directly into Shi Bao's chest, Shi Bao saw this, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and suddenly he roared hoarsely, and he actually stood up and struck the tip of the spear with a big sword.

I can only hear "Bell!" The tip of the spear was shaken open, and the big knife smashed into the face of the officer and the general like a violent wind, and the general was so surprised that he could not dodge, only to hear a loud bang on the ground, and the head was smashed to pieces, and the corpse was planted from the horse, and blood was splashed everywhere.

The death of the enemy general stimulated the potential of Nanli Taibao Shibao, he laughed wildly, brandished the wind splash knife in his hand and rushed directly to the enemy group, the wind splash knife flew over, smashed the imperial court army and horses on their backs, Liangshan soldiers were full of strength, attacked from both sides, stabbed to death hundreds of court soldiers, and closed the gap that was broken away again.

At this time, Chao Gai commanded 50,000 Liangshan Chinese troops, against the main force of the 120,000 imperial army, including the 100,000 elite imperial forbidden army, and the imperial army of Chen. Xizhen is not ignorant of the art of war, cutting, encircling, finding the enemy's weakness and then concentrating superior forces to besiege.

However, the Liangshan military horses were also well-trained, and they cooperated tacitly to improve combat efficiency, although they were divided into several pieces by the imperial army, each of them became an independent combat body, and cooperated with each other, but surrounded the imperial cavalry that divided them.

Although Liangshan's troops were far inferior to the imperial army, their tacit cooperation and flexible tactics enabled them not to fall behind at all, and stubbornly withstood wave after wave of crazy attacks by the imperial army.

In particular, the 40,000 sergeants of the Lion Tiger Division and the Seven Killing Division are invincible on the battlefield, they are like an iron wall, with big swords and spears flying in their hands, and there are corpses all over the field everywhere they pass, and the blood flows like a river, although the 40,000 people of the two divisions of Liangshan have also paid more than 10,000 losses, but under their swords, 30,000 or 40,000 imperial court military horses have been killed, making the two military horses of the Lion and Tiger Division and the Seven Killing Division the focus of the entire battlefield.

But the sharpness of the two divisions also prompted the imperial army to change their tactics, they no longer fought hard with them, but used the way of encirclement, the imperial army horses used unique rope sleeves as weapons, far from the body of the inflexible heavy armor soldiers, although the big knife can cut the rope, but still brought great trouble to the Liangshan soldiers, and this is to effectively prevent the Liangshan military horses from expanding the battlefield.

But for these two military horses of Liangshan, their biggest enemy is not the rope of the imperial military horses, but their own physical strength, more than two hours, that is, fifteen hours of fighting, the Liangshan soldiers in heavy armor are exhausted, and the lethality they can exert is getting lower and lower.

Gradually, as time went by, the casualties on both sides were increasing, but at this time, no one could withdraw from the battlefield, and whoever withdrew from the battlefield first would mean a crushing defeat.

The physical strength of the imperial army has dropped very much, and the consequence of the decline in physical strength is the increase in casualties, on the contrary, the Liangshan military horses have become more and more courageous, with hundreds of thousands of people against hundreds of thousands of people, not only do not fall behind, but slowly grasp the initiative on the battlefield, it can be seen how powerful the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan military horses is.

Chao Gai led a battalion of 10,000 guards against Ling Chen. The 30,000 guards led by Xi Zhen became the core of the entire battle, and the imperial army had also discovered the location of the Liangshan Bo bandit leader Tuota Heavenly King Chao Gai. Xi Zhen personally commanded his elite Janissaries of 30,000 to besiege Chaogai's army.

The 10,000 personal guard battalion led by Chao Gai is also the most elite among the Liangshan military horses, and is a Liangshan veteran who has followed him for many years, and has participated in countless battles.

But the cruelty of the war lies in the fact that no one will be the lucky one forever in the war, the Liangshan army and horses are in a team of fifty people, and the imperial army is a team of 100 people, surround the Liangshan army and horses, both sides know very well that as long as they defeat each other, then who can win the final war, so they fought fiercely and fiercely.

From the morning to the afternoon, the guard battalion around Chao Gai has been killed and wounded more than four cadres, and the imperial court 30,000 guards and forbidden troops have also lost more than 10,000, the two sides are still in a state of stalemate, Chao Gai is in the middle of the team, he led the army to rush to kill, the enemy army who died under his Tianlong broken city halberd has been countless, at this time he is also covered in blood, hoarse, the crotch of the war horse neighing dragon tiger beast is also fierce and abnormal, one person and one horse are more and more courageous, like the fierce god of Shura who rushed out of hell.

At this critical juncture, as the saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way, a soldier rushed over and shouted: "Governor, General Bian Xiang and General Li Kui of the Black Whirlwind are seriously injured and can't support it." ”

Hearing this news, Chao Gai was shocked at the time, just now the bearded man Zhu Tong has been injured and left the battle, if Li Kui and Bian Xiang can't support it, then the right wing of the army will be in danger, immediately, there is no delay, Chao Gai quickly drew the arrow and handed it to his own soldiers, "You go to pass the order, and Xu Ning, the golden gunner, will succeed him as the commander of the right wing, so that he must hold on until the reinforcements arrive." ”

"Obey!"

The soldiers received the order and rushed away, Chao Gai was extremely worried in his heart, although he had psychological preparation in advance, this would be a hard battle that could not be tricked, but he still did not expect that the war would be so tragic that it was related to the will of the supreme ruler, which is enough to show that Suga Taiping, Chen. The determination of Xizhen and the others to defeat Liangshan.

What worries Chao Gai is that the time dragged on too long, and in the end it was not good for the Liangshan military horses, although the current casualties are one to two, and the casualties of the imperial court army are twice as many as the Liangshan military horses, which is in line with the pre-war expectations, but the Liangshan military horses are small after all, and in the end, the imperial army will still have more than 100,000 troops, and it will still have combat effectiveness, but the Liangshan military horses will not be able to support it because of too few troops.

At this moment, Chao Gai stared at the northeast direction, both sides were exhausted, and at this time, the army led by Guan Sheng should have appeared.

Chao Gai's gaze looked to the north again, and he knew that Chen. Heejin wasn't far from him.

Just about three miles away from Chao Gai's location, in the main formation of the imperial guards, Chen. Xi Zhen was holding a blood-dripping Zhangba snake spear, and there was a general of Liangshan lying beside him, who was Huan Qi of the Naohai Yasha, who was already in a different place.

Old. As soon as Xi Zhen saw that the losses of the imperial army were getting bigger and bigger, he immediately ordered in a hoarse voice: "At all costs, give me to defeat Chao Gai's army, kill Chao Gai, remember to do whatever it takes!" ”

From the evening onwards, the storm became more and more violent, the wind whined and roared, and the dark sky mingled with the sea of snow, and the sky and the earth became vast.

On a mound, Chao Gai stood for a long time facing the land where hundreds of thousands of troops had fought fiercely, there was no joy of victory in his eyes, no fatigue after the war, only a deep pathos, countless fresh lives, countless soldiers who followed him to the north and south, and drowned in the blizzard that ravaged the world.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and soon they rushed to the front, and the voice of Dadao Guan Sheng came from the wind, "Is the Metropolitan Governor here?" ”

Chao Gai's pro-soldiers were overjoyed, and they greeted each other, and one person walked quickly in the wind, it was Guan Sheng, the head of the soldiers and horses of the White Tiger Legion, "Guan Guan, persuade the governor!" He's been standing for half an hour. Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang walked to Guan Sheng's side and said in a low and anxious voice.

Guan Sheng was shocked when he heard this, this will freeze his body, and immediately Guan Sheng walked quickly towards Chao Gai, and when he was about to get closer, Chao Gai's deep voice came from the mound, "But Brother Guan Sheng?" ”

"Metropolitan Governor, a certain family is here!"
