Chapter 1: Drumming (6b)
As soon as the battle flag fell, Wang Dangren's minions were in chaos. They were already poorly trained, and they had just gone through a half-day march, and they were so tired that their muscles were weak. Suddenly, I saw that the partners around me were cut down one after another, and the life and death of my own master were uncertain, where could I still afford any fighting spirit. In the blink of an eye, the formation dispersed, one by one lost their knives, threw flags, and fled in all directions.
"Don't mess up, don't mess up, everyone, I'm not dead!" Wang Dangren was so angry that there was smoke in his ears and eyes, and he jumped to his feet and shouted. Just now, he was careless and was shot to death by Li Xu, and when the soldiers were in a mess, the other party took the opportunity to step forward and cut down the flag, and then walked away.
"Raise the flag, put up the flag!" There are subordinates who remind loudly. Wang Dangren suddenly understood, and immediately ordered his soldiers to pick out a battle flag again. Although the momentum of the enemy army is amazing, the number of people is less than 20% of the number of his own troops and horses, and it is impossible to kill everyone in an instant. As long as the battle flag of the king is erected again, it will definitely be able to calm the chaotic military spirit. Unexpectedly, God did not obey people's wishes, and the banner on his side had just been raised, and the sound of horses' hooves outside him was urgent. Li Xu, who had already rushed and killed half a circle in the military formation, quickly circled around with the cavalry, and the blade pointed directly at Wang Dangren's horse.
Wang Dangren was also anxious, and the tiger roared, carrying an iron spear and meeting him. The head fell off a bowl and a big scar, since he had eaten the thief's food, he really wasn't afraid of death. Helplessly, there were only a few people in the entire Waihuang camp who were not afraid of death, and most of the minions saw hundreds of war horses rushing towards their side in a group, and immediately pulled their legs and fled. Wang Dangren's newly changed war horse was blocked by his own people, and he even raised the speed a few times to no avail, so angry that he picked up the iron spear and smashed the head of a minion soldier who retreated in front of him.
"Turn back and kill the past, and then there will be those who retreat, take this as an example!" He straightened his face and shouted angrily. The minions walked around the dead bodies of their companions as if they were unconscious, avoided Wang Dangren's left and right, and continued to run.
"Stop, they only have a thousand men!" Wang Dangren was ashamed and anxious, and shouted. His cries were quickly drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground. The sound of hooves was like thunder, rolling and engulfing everything that stood in its way. Wang Dangren looked up and saw that the cavalry of the official army was lined up in a standard wedge, ruthlessly harvesting life like a long lance. On the sharp edge of this long lance, there is a pitch-black horse, two heads higher than ordinary war horses, and the generals on horseback are also like killing gods in the lower realm, awe-inspiring and inviolable.
Seeing the brothers being chased from behind one by one, flying with a long lance and sweeping with a horizontal knife, Wang Dangren was sweating in pain. These 7,000 people are his capital, and although the Waihuang Battalion claims to have tens of thousands of soldiers, most of them are made up. Only the seven thousand minions around him are the elite of the elite. It's a pity that this kind of elite is not as good as a bunch of grass targets in front of the enemy, at least the grass targets themselves will not run for their lives.
He suddenly regretted that he didn't hand over his brother to Xu Maogong for training, if at this moment he was under the command of the 3,000-kilowatt gang army instead of the 7,000-kilowatt outer minions, the situation would not be so miserable at all.
There is no regret medicine to sell on the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Dangren can already see the eyes of the enemy generals on the opposite side. It was a look of mockery, as if laughing at him that he would never get on the stage. "I'll fight with you!" Wang Dangren completely lost his mind, and raised his iron spear to meet him, even if he died in battle today, he would die a dignified death.
"Protect the owner of the village!" More than 100 henchmen and soldiers were also aroused by Wang Dangren's actions, and gathered around the big boss with a howl. With a dull sound, the two sides bumped into one place without any chance. In an instant, the formation of the outer yellow thief was torn apart, and more than thirty corpses flew out upside down.
Li Xu used the tip of his knife to pull away the spear that was stabbing at him, and with a swipe of the situation, he wiped the minion in front of him off the war horse. His moves are simple, almost always fatal with one hit. In the blink of an eye, the three minions fell. Seeing that the situation was not good, the fourth opponent turned his horse to avoid it, exposing Wang Dangren behind him to Xuzi's knife.
"Lao Tzu fought with you!" Wang Dangren roared angrily and greeted him, the iron spear in his hand straight. Li Xu slapped back the knife horizontally, and the blade surface intersected with the spear body, making a "Bang!" There was a loud bang. Both of them shook twice on horseback, and their weapons were bounced off. In the snap of a finger, two war horses staggered in stirrups. Wang Dangren used a spear as a stick and swept away thousands of armies. Li Xu's knife was like a swimming dragon, turning out against the horse's neck, and went straight to Wang Dangren's ribs.
This is a life-for-life move, depending on who moves fast. At such a close distance, long weapons suffer instead. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Dangren let go of the weapon that was impossible to withdraw, and his body quickly tilted to the side of the war horse. Asahiko's black knife swept against the base of his thigh, cutting through his armor like a mowing grass, leaving a half-foot-long bloody cut around his waist.
"Ah--" Wang Dangren screamed miserably, did not dare to turn back, and let the war horse carry him forward. A county soldier came to stab with a lance, but he grabbed the lance with his hands and stabbed it back. Immediately after, he stabbed another cavalryman, and the men and horses drove away.
Xuzi's purpose is not to kill people, so he doesn't set his horse to chase after him. Instead, he led the brothers to continue to attack, constantly compressing the remnants of Wang Dangren. Where can the minions who have lost their main generals afford to charge like this, and wherever the cavalry rushes, they retreat like a tide, three retreats and two retreats, and have already abandoned all the camps, and even the Yongqiu battalion under Li Gongyi has been disrupted.
At the moment when he saw Wang Dangren's flag being cut down for the first time, Li Gongyi had already realized that something was wrong. In order to prevent his own formation from being disturbed by the rout, he even ordered all the brothers to stop and form a formation on the spot. It's a pity that there are not many people who are as calm as him, and the so-called concern is chaos. The long history of the march is that Fang Yanzao is Li Mi's friend of life and death, and Zuo Sima Yang Defang is Li Mi's old man for many years, and the two saw that Luo Shixin was in a hurry, and they panicked and gave orders, and frequently urged all troops and horses to move closer to the Chinese army. Li Gongyi was forced to get out of his scalp and had to order his brothers to get up again. But just as he began to move, thousands of remnants were driven over like sheep.
The minions of all sizes were scattered, and they didn't know whether to continue to move closer to the Chinese army or turn around to face the battle. Li Gongyi wanted to change his countermeasures again, but it was too late, so he had to watch his formation melt as quickly as snow in the sun.
"General Li, we can't stop the officers and soldiers!" Captain Xiang Zhao and Li Gongyi belonged to the same battalion, and rushed to his side and shouted loudly. "Cheng Zhijie said that Li Zhongjian has the courage of ten thousand people!"
"Order, get out of the way of the enemy and retreat north!" Li Gongyi understood what Xiang Zhao's words meant, and immediately made a decision. In this case, any attempt to stop the enemy army was futile, and without fighting the wolf-like cavalry, the rout of Wang Dangren's army alone was enough to crush these brothers of his own. And retreating outside the battlefield can preserve strength to the greatest extent. If Li Mi dies, Wagangshan will not have to return, so Li Gongyi does not have to care about military law. If Li Mi is lucky not to die, a big defeat today is inevitable, and no matter how he is investigated, the responsibility will not be held on his head Li Gongyi. Moreover, he kept the most soldiers and horses, and he deserved to be commended.
With this clever purpose, the Yongqiu battalion left a small number of soldiers and horses to block the rout of the Waihuang battalion, and most of the soldiers and horses retreated to the north. In the blink of an eye, the flanks of the Wagang Army were empty. Wang Dangren's minions rushed through the Yongqiu camp and rushed straight to his own Chinese army. Li Xu led the cavalry under his command to circle like a whirlwind, driving the rout into the enemy army that was entangled with Luo Shixin.
In less than half an hour before and after, there were less than two hundred cavalry left around Luo Shixin. They inflicted unexpected heavy losses on the Wagang army, and at the same time lost more than half of their own. Luo Shixin has been injured in many places, but he still fights hard. "Kill Li Mi!" While fighting with Shan Xiongxin who rushed over, he shouted. "Kill Li Mi!" More than 200 cavalrymen shouted in unison, brandishing their lances, and stabbed the minions who surrounded them one by one.
Shan Xiongxin rushed over with cavalry, and the other Wagang Inner Army brothers were still blocked out of the circle by their own people. Cheng Zhijie, deputy commander of the internal army, reacted quickly, and after realizing that the situation was not good, he had ordered the internal army to slow down. While the Chinese army was slowly approaching, they gathered the rout of the various divisions, and the veterans pacified them, and lined up behind the Wagang inner army. Although Cheng Zhijie's orders were always interfered with by the Chinese military, on the whole, this response was very appropriate. With the backbone again, the soldiers no longer ran around like flies without heads, but fought hard and reunited into a team.
"Doing so will attract suspicion!" Xie Yingdeng looked worriedly in the direction of the Chinese army, and at the same time gave advice to Cheng Zhijie. The battalions of the foreign army were originally estranged from the internal army headed by Xu Maogong, and at the critical moment, Cheng Zhijie would not be rescued when he saw death, and he would inevitably be criticized after he returned.
From his point of view, the internal army was on the verge of collapse. After the Yongqiu battalion left the battlefield without authorization, the cavalry led by Li Xu had quickly converged with the men and horses of Luo Shixin's department. Shan Xiongxin led more than 300 strong soldiers to deal with a Luo Shixin, and it was already very difficult for him to be caught by Li Xu from the flank, and he immediately presented a rout.
"Woo-woo-woo-woo!" Seeing that Shan Xiongxin couldn't resist the onslaught of the enemy, Fang Yanzao and the others blew the horn for help again. At the same time, the command flag ordering the troops and horses of all units to converge with the inner army was also raised high. "Gather and destroy the enemy!" The meaning expressed by Fang Yanzao through the sound of flags and horns is obvious. It's just that this kind of naïve order has no possibility of being realized at all.
Not only the Yongqiu battalion all the way, but all the other battalions are retreating. Some directly left the battlefield, while others avoided the core of the battle and moved closer to Cheng Zhijie's location. "Only the Wagang Inner Army can stop Li Zhongjian, a madman!" In an instant, almost all the generals reached a unanimous consensus. "The brothers should be handed over to Xu Maogong for retraining!" For more than half a year, Xu Maogong persuaded countless times that could not be accepted by everyone, and it was also picked up by everyone again in this chaotic time.
"Whoever likes to say whatever he likes, the lives of the brothers are no worse than Li Mi!" Cheng Zhijie stared at the battlefield with his eyes, and his answer was a little annoyed. This would have been a must-win battle, provided that Li Mi did not improvise his eloquence. Even if Li Mi was injured, the Wagang army should not have been defeated so badly. If Fang Yanzao's strategy was really worthy of his talent, and if Yang Defang's courage was really worthy of his official position, the two should have decisively ordered the whole army to retreat and temporarily avoid the enemy's edge. Instead of fighting the enemy like this, and causing more brothers to be trampled to death by their own men than by the enemy.
He saw Shan Xiongxin's figure flash in the crowd and then disappear. An instant later, he saw several cavalrymen retreating sharply with Shan Xiongxin, who was covered in blood. Zhang Liang rushed forward again with Li Mi's henchmen, trying to delay the enemy's advance and buy time for Fang Yanzao and others to regroup their troops. But the outcome of the battle was not entirely determined by courage, Li Xu's cavalry easily scattered the dead soldiers led by Zhang Liang, and then, Luo Shixin met Zhang Liang, and Li Xu rode his horse to Fang Yanzao again.
Zhang Liang's martial arts are far inferior to Luo Shixin, and after only two faces, he was knocked off the war horse by Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin tried to take the life of the loser, and was immediately surrounded by more than a dozen guards wearing cyan leather armor. Several people worked together to block Luo Shixin's horse's head, and several others picked up Zhang Liang and fled backwards at the last moment.
Annoyed, Luo Shixin stabbed the enemy who stood in front of his horse with a spear. With a flick of his hand, he smashed the corpse at several other enemy soldiers. The green-armored guards who couldn't dodge were smashed down by the corpses of their companions, and before they could stand up, Luo Shixin's horse lance had already been formed, brushing the ground, cutting the armor of another dead soldier into two pieces, and the skin and muscles wrapped under the armor were all broken, and blood gushed out from the wounds, bringing life away from the flesh at the same time.
Someone tried to avenge his companion and rolled on the ground to the belly of Luo Shixin's horse. Luo Shixin snapped, jumped away with his horse, and then turned his head and stabbed the enemy who had lost his target to death cleanly. He pumped the lance, drove the horse, stabbed obliquely, and made a few moves in one go, provoking another unlucky guy who couldn't dodge, and laughed and threw the other party into the air.
This is a devil, and the minions of the foreign army have dodged one after another. No matter how many people are gathered, none of them are willing to verify Luo Shixin's martial arts. After dispersing the enemy forces in front of him, Luo Shixin proudly raised his horse lance and signaled the brothers around him to move closer to him. Then he pointed his horse forward, and swooped down on the other group of enemies, who were helpless.
Cavalry relies on speed, and abandoning enemies on the battlefield who can entangle you for a long time, attacking the opponent's weakest point will be far more effective than encountering the enemy's elite head-on. This is Li Xu's experience in exchange for his life on the battlefield, and through exchanges, Luo Shixin has also mastered the key skillfully.
The Chinese army of the Wagang Army continued to be chaotic, Fang Yanzao and the others could no longer care about Luo Shixin, and a bigger crisis was rapidly approaching them. After defeating Shan Xiongxin, Li Xu personally led the cavalry and drove the rout to roll upside down. All the generals who tried to stop were cut under their horses with black knives.
More than 1,000 strong men were driven by Fang Yanzao and built a human wall to block in front of Xuzima. They flinched, their eyes filled with fear. No one dares to guarantee that they will be able to stop the horses, but if this line of defense is broken again, the situation on the battlefield will be out of control.
"Woo-woo-woo-woo!" The trumpet of the Chinese army sounded again, mournful and desolate. Suddenly, the sound of the horn froze. A sharp arrow flew in the air, and the flag of the Chinese army fell in response.
