Looking at the Da Sui light cavalry that broke into his own formation, Li Zixiong was furious. He waved the command flag in his hand and sent the two thousand most elite armor soldiers around him. Just now, the great array was killed by the enemy, and that was because their own brothers were rushing forward and were caught off guard. And now that everyone has stopped fighting, they have to return the other party no matter what.

But the enemy general was much smarter than he thought, just when the teams scattered to make way for the elite armorers. The cavalry rushing towards the center of the formation suddenly turned, refusing to make contact with the armor, but cut a perfect angle diagonally, killing the weakest point of the formation.

"Stop them, stop them!" Li Zixiong's eyes were so angry that he kept waving the flag. The soldiers under their command remained loyal and brave, knowing that they would lose their way to live, they would rather die in battle than dodge the enemy's horses. But the strength of the two sides, no, it should be said that the difference in equipment is too great. For every galloping horse, the rebel soldiers had to pay at least three or four lives. And the brute who fell in the gallop will rush forward a dozen steps with great inertia, pulling more people to bury himself and the rider on horseback!

Is this the Great Sui Mansion soldier? Li Zixiong couldn't believe his eyes. In his memory, although the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion were equipped with six pack horses for every ten people, they were all pulling animals and could not be used in battle formations at all. Although the four mansions and twelve guards all have special cavalry formations, they are expensive and slow armored cavalry, and the men and horses are tightly wrapped in equipment, and the attack and defense power are amazing, but they have never had the same wind-like impact speed as the outlaws in front of them. Moreover, after the first battle of Liaodong last year, the armored cavalry was wiped out by the Goguryeo people on the south bank of Maqishui long ago because of the slow retreat speed. (Note 1)

At present, there are only two border armies in Jixian and Western Xinjiang that can get so many brave cavalry. The task of the border army is to prevent the invasion of the Turks, and until the moment of life and death, Yang Guang is reluctant to transfer the Tiger Ben Iron Cavalry of Jixian County and the Western Xinjiang Jingjia of Jincheng to the Central Plains!

This is not the armored cavalry of the Great Sui, and the armored cavalry of the Great Sui will not adopt such a despicable tactic! Li Zixiong painfully came to the conclusion that the battle example of charging into battle with light armor without equipment was not a normal tactic, and in the previous battle examples, only Xue An, a brave general in the Liu Song era, had used this style of play. It has been more than 150 years since the Liu Song Dynasty ended, and today, this kind of desperate tactics that require a high level of courage and command ability of the main general has reappeared on the battlefield! (Note 2)

The elite armor soldiers couldn't catch up, and the ordinary soldiers couldn't stop it, and in the blink of an eye, Li Xu and the brothers of the Xiongwu battalion killed another pair among the rebels, and crossed to the front of the enemy with the whistling wind.

"Spread the flag" "Spread the flag!" Murong Luo, Li Mengwei and others shouted loudly, unfurled the Great Sui battle flags picked up from behind the enemy's formation, and re-erected them in front of the rebels. The front army of the right Wuhou, the left army of the right imperial guard, the sixth regiment of the front army, and the tiger wing of the left army, large and small banners showed off their might in front of the rebels. None of them belonged to the Xiongwu Battalion, but because of the Xiongwu Battalion, they were able to flutter in the wind again.

"Can you still fight?" Li Xu glanced in the direction of the Chinese army, and then asked his brother in a loud voice.

"Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" Horizontal knives, long lances, dancing into a jungle of steel in the sun. With the experience of the first charge, the second one was killed, and the brothers lost only more than 200 men. Therefore, everyone's morale is high, and they can't wait to leave the main force behind and wipe out the rebels alone.

"Well, this time we will divide our troops into three ways, don't entangle on the road, and see who rushes behind the enemy formation the fastest!" Li Xu smiled and ordered loudly. He saw the changes in the enemy formation, and the only ones who could block the cavalry head-on were the elite rebels with armor and armours. Asahiko didn't want the brothers to fight hard with the enemy's elite, and his main task was to stop the enemy army, and divide and consume the opponent's living force to buy time for the main force. Therefore, he simply aimed at killing through the enemy formation, rather than doing more killing.

"Okay, I'll go left!" Murong Luo laughed loudly with his lance, and led the war horse to trot around in half an arc, and shouted at his brothers as he ran: "All regiments on the right wing of the cavalry army, follow me!" ”

"No!" More than 1,000 cavalrymen agreed in unison, instigated their horses, and followed Murong Luo to rush towards the enemy's left flank.

"Left wing of the Xiao Cavalry, follow me!" Li Mengwei shouted wildly, and then took the lead and rushed to the enemy's right flank. More than 1,000 cavalrymen followed him, raising smoke and dust that covered the sky.

"The rest of the regiments, come with me and kill behind them!" The black knife in Li Xu's hand pointed forward and pointed to the center of the enemy formation again. The elite of the rebels had just followed the group's war horses in a small circle, and at this moment they were adjusting to the left in the center of their own house. Right now, there is just a breakthrough near Li Zixiong's Chinese army.

The three-way cavalry, rolling up the smoke and dust of the three roads, pounced on the rebels again. "They're back again!" A frightened shout sounded in the enemy's formation, and although they were determined to die, the fact that they had been pierced twice by their opponents had cast a huge shadow in everyone's hearts. The enemy is here again, the third time, can you stop it? Countless pairs of eyes looked at Li Zixiong, countless people's bodies trembled, their faces were pale, but they still clenched the wooden sticks and bamboo sticks in their hands.

"Brethren, have you forgotten what you rebelled for?" Li Zixiong raised his horse lance and asked loudly. The chance of victory or defeat was only between lightning and fire, and when the enemy broke through his own ranks for the second time, Li Zixiong understood the outcome of today's battle. He no longer had the opportunity to drive those chaotic troops to attack Yuwenshu's main formation, but the shouts of killing from the official army's main formation were decreasing. As far as the eye can see, the banners of the brothers who have been tasked with intercepting the main forces of the enemy army are no longer visible. What caught the eyes was all the earthy yellow uniforms of the officers and soldiers.

"Don't go to Liaodong, don't go to Liaodong!" The soldiers around him shouted in unison, and the generals burst into tears. The more than 60,000 brothers under his command are actually the last elite in the hands of General Yang Xuangan. Today's defeat already means that this uprising has completely failed. God did not want to die in the Great Sui, and sent a crazy young general out at the critical moment, so that the tyrant and his court could continue to survive. However, everyone must continue to fight, because this battle is no longer about success or failure, but about the honor of the general.

"I'd rather die in Henan than in Liaodong, I'd rather die in Henan than in Liaodong!" The shouts grew louder and louder, desolate and tragic. The thinly armoured and poorly armed rebel soldiers moved their legs and gritted their teeth to meet the roaring horses. One was picked off by a horse lance, and another rushed up. Two people were knocked down by their horses, and two more rushed up.

Since there is no way to live, why should they fear death!

"I'll do it more!" A rebel general brandished a long knife, led more than 100 soldiers, separated the crowd, and pounced on Li Xu.

"Brothers, killing one is enough, killing two earns one!" A bandit-turned-general held an axe high and ran to shout.

"Rumble!" The sound of war drums was like thunder, shaking people's scalps.

The sound of the horn was as terrible as a song, piercing people's backs.

Two teams with the same face, the same color, and the same language fought together. They may not know each other, they may be neighbors, or they may have grown up together with mud since childhood. For different goals, under different flags, facing each other, the weapons in their hands were raised.

The progress of the third assault was not as smooth as expected, and Li Xu, as the main general, clearly felt that the resistance ahead was increasing. The rebels who have lost their way to survive are desperate, and they would rather be trampled by the horse's hooves than give each other a knife with their lives. In the blink of an eye, Xu Zi added two more wounds to his body, although they were not serious, but the pain turned black in front of his eyes.

A row of spears appeared not far away, and it was Li Zixiong who came up with his own soldiers. Xu Zi did not dare to risk being trapped in the enemy formation, and turned his horse diagonally. Zhang Xiu followed him, waving the flag high. More than a thousand brothers turned again, cutting a blood-colored arc diagonally.

At the edge of the arc, there are constantly brothers who are stabbed off their horses by the enemy, and there are also enemy troops who are trampled over by the war horses and picked up by the lance. "Speed, speed, don't fight!" Xuzi swung her scimitar vigorously, and her shouts were like wolf howls. He rushed over with Li Zixiong's Chinese army, and in his ears, the arrows sizzled.

Most of the brothers managed to break through the enemy's blockade, and only a few dozen people at the end of the group were intercepted. Like a few pebbles thrown into the sea, they were soon overwhelmed by the rebels. The enemy's queue can no longer be called a queue, they are fighting on their own, and in order to kill an enemy, they do not hesitate to squeeze their own team into a pot of porridge.

"They're defeated!" Li Xu confirmed in his heart, clamped the horse's belly fiercely, knocked over the last few interceptors around him, and rushed to the designated finish line.

"Woo-woo-woo" The loud sound of the horn sounded behind him, with the joy of victory. Asahiko stood under the banner of the right guard and turned back, and saw a familiar Daxu appear on the other side of the enemy formation. Not the rebels, but the heroic battalion. Yu Wenshi and the other brothers were slowly pushing towards the rebel camp, and at the same time, there were tens of thousands of defeated soldiers who had recovered from the shock.

When intercepted by the feathered arrows of the Xiongwu battalion, the routs were furious. At first, they tried to fight the roadblockers, but soon found that they were safer behind them than in front of them. The pressure from behind disappeared and suddenly disappeared without a trace. Everyone turned around amid the shouting and scolding of officers at all levels, and immediately saw a shocking scene. Less than 5,000 cavalry rushed towards their fearful rebels, piercing through the ranks of the opposing side and re-erecting the discarded flags behind the enemy troops.

Then the cavalrymen pierced the other side again, raised the flag in front of the battle, and then slaughtered the rebels like tigers.

"That's the banner of our right martial marquis!" Someone exclaimed.

"The right guard, our right guard" someone recognized their own flag, and then was ashamed of themselves. When the fear in their hearts slowly replaced by shame, everyone regained their courage.

The main force of the Xiongwu battalion will not sit idly by and watch their brothers and men fight desperately, and immediately press forward after stopping the rout of the chaotic army. Right Wuhou, some of the routs of the right imperial guard were red-faced and took the initiative to join the counterattack sequence. As time passed, more and more soldiers joined the counteroffensive, and finally condensed into a torrent of steel directly in front of the rebels.

The rebel soldiers are still brave, and they still sacrifice their lives and forget to die. But the outcome of the battle will not be changed by the bravery and determination of a few people, and farther away, the left wing of the Great Sui and the Chinese army slowly pressed over and surrounded their prey.

Note 1: Armored cavalry, a heavy cavalry at the height of the Sui Dynasty, with men and horses covered with iron armor. According to archaeological finds, a complete iron outfit weighs about 40 to 50 kilograms, and special heavy armor can reach 100 kilograms. Later, because of the high cost and poor mobility, it gave way to light cavalry.

Note 2: The classic battle example of light cavalry, Liu Song and the Northern Wei Dynasty Shaanxi battle, in the face of the strict formation of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xue Andu "took off his pocket, untied the armor he carried, only wore two shirts, and the horse also went to the equipment, galloped into the thief formation, roared violently, and was forward, when it was the front, all should not fall." The thief is angry, the pinch shot can't be hit, if so, the number is four, every time you enter, everyone is invincible. ”
