Chapter Ninety-Four: Capture the Thief and Capture the King First
The addition of Liu Wu's cavalry did not change the disadvantage of the Ziqing army on the battlefield. After fighting hard for a few back and forth, Liu Wu was surprised to find that he was also in an embarrassment. The battle against him is not a weak team that is tired from a long battle, but a fierce opponent with high morale. Specifically, across from him was a wall hundreds of paces, a wall full of knives, cold blades that gleamed in the daylight, revealing bloodthirsty fangs. Fluttering slowly in the warm wind are several battle flags with the word "Li".
"Mo Dao Army!"
Liu Wu couldn't help but gasp, and the shouts and killings around him seemed to be quiet. There was not a single Tang Dynasty general who didn't know what the Modao Army meant, and what it meant for the Modao Army to appear on the battlefield. Looking at the Mo Dao Army devouring the flesh and skin of his soldiers without emotion, cold sweat broke out on Liu Wu's forehead.
"He has the Mo Sword Army, and Lao Tzu also has the elite of the Twelve Towns, a mule and a horse, pull it out for a walk!"
Liu Wuzhi has always been lenient, and the soldiers call him "Father Liu" behind his back. If it had been a normal time, the soldiers would have run away a long time ago, but this time, Li Shidao was behind him, where to run? The officers looked at Liu Wu, Liu Wu gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Cavalry battalion, charge! Heavy infantry, follow up! ”
Liu Wu gave an order, and the shape of the Ziqing army immediately stretched, and hundreds of cavalry drove the blindfolded war horses and rushed towards the Mo Dao Army, using the strong potential energy of the horses to sprint, raising their long knives and stabbing towards the Mo Dao Army. The arrows on both sides were unwilling to be lonely and flew all over the sky. The Mo Dao Army stood in heavy armor, completely ignoring the wolf teeth and arrows dropped by Ding Ding, and with the order of the captain, the Mo Dao rose and fell, and fought fiercely with the Ziqing cavalry.
Our Modao Army was originally the nemesis of cavalry.
But their immediate foe is not weak. In the end, it was Li Shidao's tooth army, the soldiers were brave and fierce, and they were not afraid of the powerful Mo knife at all, and desperately drilled into the Mo knife hand. The desperate battle of the Ziqing Army successfully restrained the pace of the Modao Army's advance. Li Dingjin, who was standing behind the formation, couldn't help but get anxious, and shouted:
"Pro-barracks, charge with General Ben!"
Thousands of cavalry galloped up on the battlefield, Li Dingjin was originally Xia Suixiao's general, and he followed Gao Chongwen to pacify Xichuan and capture Liu Pi alive before he was transferred to the Guards, and after being the chief general of the first army, it has been a long time since he did not go into battle in person. At this moment, the fierce general's true colors were revealed, and he really quickly cleared out a no-man's land on the crowded battlefield in front of Biyi, and entered the enemy formation. The general was so brave that the morale of the officers and soldiers couldn't help but be boosted, and even the speed of the knife was a few points faster.
Seeing a team of 1,000 cavalry in his own formation, no one could stop him, Li Shidao couldn't help but panic, an order, the cavalry around him flew out, this is Li Shidao spent a lot of money to build the elite of the tooth soldiers, the crotch is all a good horse, immediately with a ten-strong man, in the battle formation to meet Li Dingjin, I thought that it was easy to defeat Li Dingjin, but it took all his strength to block the advance momentum of the official army. This couldn't help but make Li Shidao surprised and frightened in his heart.
Actually, there is nothing surprising about this. To put it bluntly, the guards are Li Yu's own tooth soldiers, who is stronger than the tooth soldiers of a country and the tooth soldiers of a town? The answer, of course, is self-evident. Fortunately, after all, it blocked the offensive of the official army, and Li Shidao's heart that was hanging just now was about to relax. Hurriedly dispatched his subordinates to join the battlefield, trying to completely annihilate the officers and troops who broke into his formation.
Li Dingjin originally relied on the speed advantage of the cavalry to wander around the Ziqing army formation, and when he saw that the enemy army was strong, he would give him a knife casually. Now seeing that the enemy in front of him is also elite, I am afraid that the cavalry will be wrapped up by the enemy and will not be able to use it. As soon as the cavalry loses its mobility, there is not much difference between it and a live target, so it shouts:
"Let's go!"
After picking up an enemy general, Le turned his horse's head and killed in depth.
"King Qi! See King Qi! ”
Wang Ji, who had just been knocked off his horse, was disgraced, and before he had time to tidy up his appearance, he hurried to meet Li Shidao after he knew that Li Shidao had arrived.
"Please ask the king of Qi to forgive his ministers for their armor and not all of them!"
Of course, Li Shidao knew the story of Zhou Yafu's army and fine willows, and hurriedly said:
"Exactly. General Wang has worked hard. After victory, the king will surely be rewarded for his deeds. ”
Wang Ji stood next to Li Shidao's horse, and just reported a few words to Li Shidao about the battle situation, when he suddenly heard a commotion in front of the battle, and when he looked up, he saw Li Dingjin rampage to kill this side. This Li Dingjin seems to be a little more courageous than Li You. Wang Ji's heart jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously said:
"Not good!"
Although there are not many people in this Li Dingjin belt, they are rampaging in the Ziqing army, and if they can't eliminate him in time, the formation of the Ziqing army will be disrupted by him. After begging Li Shidao for his life, Wang Ji led his own army to meet Li Dingjin, preparing to intercept Li Dingjin - but unfortunately Wang Ji took a step earlier and did not see that in the distance, on the edge of the battle array, a larger cavalry was quickly killing.
This is exactly the cavalry led by Li Yu himself.
There were far more Ziqing soldiers than the official army, but Li Yu was not afraid and galloped first. After the war, someone asked Li Yudao:
"The enemy army is huge, why does the commander take the lead and charge the battle in person?"
Li Yu replied:
"This commander is not afraid, firstly, our army is brave and good at fighting, and the armor is excellent, which is not comparable to the Ziqing rebels, and secondly, the enemy army has one of the biggest flaws that can be used by me." 、
The biggest flaw in this is Li Shidao.
Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. Du Zimei's poems are deeply in line with the way of using soldiers. Li Yu's thousands of cavalry galloped at high speed, ignoring the enemy troops on both sides, and went straight to the high post where Li Shidao was located.
The situation, which was supposed to have only a slight upper hand on the officers and the army, quickly toppled upside.
Li Shidao's desertion and escape dragged down the will of the Ziqing army. From one point to one side of the battlefield, from one side to all, the Ziqing Army was defeated on all fronts.
In the usual phrase of the game, the fight entered garbage time early.
In Luoyang Palace, Pei Yan excitedly reported:
"Ziqing Xingying Pei Du reported victory, Li Yu fought with the rebels in Dong'e, beheaded 10,000 people, wounded countless enemies, captured 7,000 people, killed more than 60 generals below Wang Ji, captured 11 generals above the rank of captain, and won the golden helmet and military flag of Li Shidao. Our army lost more than 4,000 casualties, 10,000 wounded, and General Li Dingjin was seriously wounded. The official army has now taken Dong'e and marched to Yanggu after a few days of rest. ”
In the afternoon, a decree came out from the Luoyang Palace:
"Xiahou Cheng and other captured generals and forty-seven people went to serve in the army."
