Chapter 6 Holding the Lance (9 I)

Volume 7 Getaway Chapter 6 Holding the Lance (Nine Up)

"What's the matter. Did you find the big hole in the bones? Li Jiancheng immediately regained his spirits, ran back to Li Xu in three steps and two steps, and asked the scout loudly.

"A cavalry appeared in the direction of the two mountains, about six or seven thousand men. Fight a team of wolf riders around there! The scout from the Boling Army hesitated for a moment, then replied loudly.

"What banner is it playing, and what is the victory?" Li Jiancheng was surprised and delighted, and continued to ask.

The scout frowned dissatisfiedly, then peeked at Li Xu. Seeing that his own commander didn't have any objections, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to report: "General Qiyu and Shizi, the banner of the comer is very chaotic, like a coalition army. The outcome is not clear, they lit a lot of fire behind the Turks, and then fought and approached Huanghua Huozi! ”

"Coalition? Coming from outside Cyprus? Li Jiancheng froze, he couldn't think of who would come to help the defenders at this time. A team of six or seven thousand people needs several companies to join forces to get together, and the strength of this team is definitely not very good. If it doesn't work, the Turks deliberately made a trap to lure everyone out to respond.

"Probe, pay attention to contact the mountain observation point with the flag, and see what the hell is going on!" Just when Li Jiancheng was stunned, Li Xu quickly made a decision.

As soon as he saw the scout leave, he grabbed an arrow. "Send an order to General Zhang, who is stationed in Huanghua Huozi, and ask him to strengthen his vigilance. Prevent the Turks from taking advantage of the opportunity to knock! ”

"No!" The soldiers ran forward, took over the general, and quickly went out of the account.

"Send an order to General Jiang Baoyi, ordering him to order 10,000 brothers to go to the inner horse road of the Great Wall, ready to engage in battle at any time!"

"Send an order to General Zhou Daniu, ordering him to order 3,000 heavy infantry and 2,000 archers to assemble near Huanghua Huozi. Ben Shuai and the prince will arrive later! ”

Li Xu didn't even think about it, and passed the orders one after another. By the time Li Jiancheng and the others figured out his purpose, everyone had already been pulled by him to the enemy tower near Huanghua Huozi.

"This is the gap in the Great Wall, like the gate of a city. Brother Jiancheng, the command and dispatch above the city gate will be handed over to you and Chen seniors! Li Xu shoved the arrow into Jiancheng's hand and ordered in a low voice. The battle won't be too fierce today, so we don't have to alarm all the brethren. Continue to rest when it's time to rest, continue to train when it's time to train! ”

"How did Zhong Jian know that today would not be a fierce battle?" Li Jiancheng's train of thought couldn't keep up with Li Xu's movements, and after taking the arrow, he asked blankly.

"Look at the gang that rushed to Huanghua Huozi." Li Xu's hand pointed outwards and explained very seriously. With his many years of combat experience, almost as soon as he reached the top of the city, he was convinced that the reinforcements who came to help were not the Turkic wolf riders in disguise. "The flags are scattered and the formation is not in order. The soldiers were extremely brave, but they didn't know how to take care of each other. These men have little formal training and are not constantly cooperating in combat......"

"Not the Turks!" Chen Yanshou also quickly came to a conclusion. In order to cultivate Li Jiancheng's ability to command the battle, Lao Changshi explained in as much detail as possible: "If the Turks pretend, they will not even be able to put together the armor of thousands of Sui soldiers and horses. Secondly, he must send someone to the pass first and ask us to go out of the pass to respond. If they come out of nowhere without making any contact, if we refuse to help, they will be wiped out. If Gu Toru wants to cheat, he won't even think through these details! ”

Just as everyone was pointing and discussing, the soldiers and horses who broke into the camp were already approaching Huanghua Huozi. The nearby Turkic wolves were desperate to kill the reinforcements in the valley before they could enter the fortress. Although the reinforcements were scattered, the soldiers were extremely agile. Often, in order to kill one reinforcement, the Turks had to pay two or three wolf horsemen.

"What a brave man!" Li Jiancheng saw the blood in his veins, and slapped the city wall in admiration. If you also have such a group of warriors under your command, and you can train them a little, you don't need to envy the Flying Tiger Army under the command of your second brother. But how to pick up this team to the Great Wall will take a lot of trouble. In the case that the Turks bite to death, the attackers must ensure that after opening the mountain gate of Huanghua Huozi, there is still the possibility of closing it safely.

Seeing one hero after another under the siege of the wolf riders, Li Jiancheng was anxious. He pulled Li Xu hard, hoping that his omnipotent brother-in-law could help him think of a way, but his hand stretched out, but he pulled it empty.

"What about General Lee. Where did Zhong Jian go? Li Jiancheng was taken aback and asked.

General Li asked the prince to help him handle all the military affairs of the city. He himself led his troops and horses to receive reinforcements! Chen Yanshou quickly took Li Jiancheng's words and replied loudly. Seeing Li Jiancheng's nervous appearance, Lao Changshi felt so disappointed in his heart. The lord of his own family is good at everything, but he is too rusty in military affairs. In front of the two armies, as one of the commanders, he couldn't show half a bit of calm and composed. You look at Li Zhongjian, from the beginning to the present, everything he has done is in an orderly manner. The so-called letting the lord dispatch the overall situation on his behalf is actually creating an opportunity for the lord to show his face. If he wasn't absolutely sure, would he dare to hand over the military power to someone like the lord, and then attack with confidence? Unless he dies himself!

No matter how disappointed he was in his heart, Chen Yanshou did not dare to be sloppy about the military situation in front of him. "Zhong Jian is full of foot soldiers, with the long lance hand and the Mo knife hand as the main force." Pointing to the temporary city gate that Huanghua Huozi had pushed open, he explained to Li Jiancheng in a low voice, "The long lance and the Mo sword, with archers behind them, can completely separate the wolf cavalry from the reinforcements. Then, with the help of the nearby terrain, the formation slowly retreated, and as long as they retreated to the protection of the archers on the city walls, the enemy army could no longer pose a threat to the city gates! ”

As if to verify his words, the three thousand heavy infantry and two thousand archers who followed Li Xu quickly formed a position below the city wall. On the slope to the left of the valley, they line up in a shovel shape. At the bottom of the valley and on the hillside, there are the largest numbers and the thickest teams, and in the middle of the team, the formation is thin.

Some of the Turkic wolf horsemen saw the defenders coming out and immediately rode their horses to meet the battle. Before he could make contact with the hoplites, he was first subjected to a rain of arrows. Li Xu gave an order, and the soldiers in the front row slowly approached the warring sides like an iron hedgehog. When they encountered the besieged reinforcements, they were placed in the formation. When encountering a Turkic wolf ride, several long lances stabbed past, and even people and horses were stabbed into meat skewers.

The valley near Huanghua Huozi was not very spacious, and the two cavalry fought each other, and the valley floor had almost completely filled. Suddenly, another foot soldier came out, and the bottom of the valley immediately became more and more crowded. At this time, the cavalry could not give full play to the speed advantage of the war horse, and could only fight the opponent on the spot. As soon as the lance and the slapper stepped forward, the party that received the aid immediately raised its voice, divided the wolf by two, and beheaded the wolf under the horse.

"Distance, distance!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the Turkic Burke who led the team quickly changed his tactics. As long as he pulls the team into the distance, he can start with a round of galloping shots to break up the defenders' formation before moving back into the situation.

Li Xu has led soldiers for so many years, and the most familiar thing is galloping tactics. How could the enemy be given this chance. Grabbed the flag beside him and waved. The foot soldiers, who had been slowly advancing halfway up the hill, immediately increased their speed and surrounded them from the side like Turks. At the same time, Zhou Daniu led several guards and shouted, "Who is the friend who came, entangle the Turks." Shave them off, and we'll be able to drink together! ”

These words are like military orders, and they are like cuts in the rivers and lakes, but they are just right for the temper of the comer. Among the reinforcements, a black Daxu immediately shook, and under the Daxu, more than a dozen strong men shouted at the top of their voices: "Is General Li here?" How can you not know that the Turks will clean up? The descendant of Huhan Evil Da Shan Yu, the twentieth grandson of Emperor Liu Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the lord of Yanshan Mountain, a gust of wind is always scooping, Liu Jizhen came to help! ”

lest the people around them hear clearly, the gang repeatedly proclaimed their own name. So that everyone in the city and the city were full of confusion. Everyone knows that Hu Han Yeshan married Wang Zhaojun, the Xiongnu monarch, and Liu Yuan was the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty during the Wuhu period. However, whether these two are related by blood or not is a secret that historians may not be able to verify clearly. As for the lord of Yanshan Mountain, it is the title given to him by the person who came, and no one recognizes it anywhere. There are only three words "a gust of wind", and everyone still has some impressions in their hearts. It was known that it was a gang of horse thieves who had been crisscrossing the grasslands and mountains for a long time. The officers and soldiers suppressed the bandits, and they fled to the grassland. The Turks pursued and killed, and they fled to Yanshan. Taking advantage of the non-aggression agreement between the Great Sui and the Turks, the two sides bargained.

But there was a gust of wind in Yanshan, this gang of bandits has always lived a carefree life, how did they suddenly remember to contribute to the country. The people in the city were puzzled. While everyone was in shock, they heard Li Xu's personal soldiers shouting in unison: "Brother Liu?" Gather your brethren and wrap them up in the Turks. Kill, lean forward to the Great Wall! ”

"Brother Liu? Gather your brethren and wrap them up in the Turks. Kill, lean forward to the Great Wall! After Zhou Daniu and the other guards shouted this sentence in unison again. The cooperation between the soldiers of the two sides became more and more tacit. The horse thieves were skilled in riding, and because they did not have the upper hand in numbers, they suffered a loss under the beating of the Turkic wolves. Now that the number of people in the local area is on par with the other side, how can it be possible for the Turks to distance themselves. With a few whistles, the direction of the attack immediately changed. It turned out that he was desperate to rush forward to the Great Wall, but now he is desperately fighting with wolves.

Beyond the valley, Turkic wolves were constantly coming to support. However, due to the terrain, it is not possible to invest too many people at the same time. Trying to open the passage with bows and arrows, it is difficult to distinguish between the family and the enemy in the valley, and a rain of arrows will kill more of their own brothers than the enemy.

The Turkic wolves who came to help from outside rode around in a hurry. The wolf rider who was coerced by Li Xu and others was also red-eyed. The leader of the army, Usumi, tried several times to rush out to join his family, but his way was blocked by horse thieves. The longer the time dragged on, the closer the enemy got to the Great Wall. Usumi couldn't help but be furious.

For many years, he roamed the East and slaughtered countless tribes. Whoever he wanted to kill, the other party had almost no power to fight back. When did you get so tied up like you do today? There was only one way out of the predicament, and with years of experience, Usumi quickly came to a conclusion. Find the center of the Central Plains Infantry Array, kill the dispatcher, and the defenders will immediately turn into a herd of deer that have lost their leader. At that time, the wolf riders roared and pounced, and it was a feast of flesh and blood.

Hitting *** on horseback, Usumi found her target in the crowd. The enemy general was less than thirty paces away from him, and was directing his foot soldiers to advance little by little. If you don't rescue a horse thief, their strength will increase. With every step forward, dozens of Turkic warriors died.

"Warriors, kill him!" The scimitar in Usumi's hand suddenly pointed at the center of the foot soldier who was approaching on his own, and shouted, "Turkic men who grew up eating wolf milk, kill that person for me!" ”

"Kill him, kill him!" Dozens of Turkic wolf riders echoed loudly, staring at Li Xu's red eyes, and rushed straight at where Li Xu was.
