"Kill the past, kill the past—"

Another encounter came, and Zhu Biao no longer despised the tactics of Hu Qi and complained about how he didn't have 20,000 fine horses. Even 10,000 is OK, to ensure that the small part of the 10,000 riders in front of you can be eaten and cleaned within an hour. Look at Uwei Tuo, if he dares to divide his troops and join in!

In a word, this Yanran Mountain is getting harder and harder to mix.

More than 4,700 Hedong soldiers lined up in the Heavenly Wolf Formation and embedded in the 10,000-strong Hu cavalry, and the situation was still the same as the previous three encounters, devastating and decaying, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo.

The Heavenly Wolf Formation, which was loosely covered, was extremely hard in its 'texture'. Crashing into the Hu cavalry formation is the iron plough ploughing on the flesh and blood, and everywhere it goes, there is a flesh and blood miser, which marks an unconcealable scar on the Hu cavalry array.

The Hedong team did not stop, and after penetrating the formation, they galloped straight forward.

-- This is a point of bone that cannot be delayed for a moment.

"How much did the soldiers lose?" Zhu Biao's brows furrowed heavily. There is an estimate of more than 100 people in my heart, which is more than the previous three battles, because the current half of the people in this wave of Hu cavalry are all standing cavalry. The combat power is not comparable to the tribes behind Hu Qi.

"Divine Walk-" The last hole card opens. Zhu Biao forgot to glance at the south, it was time to go back.

"Dashuai, the brothers have broken eighty-nine, seriously injured thirty-five, and lightly injured more than three hundred."

"The old rules. The seriously wounded were tied to the horse's back, and the lightly wounded were wrapped in the middle. We still have a battle to fight. ”

Zhu Biao looked up at the falcon flying overhead, his eyes were like ice.

I have been in a circle in Yanran Mountain for more than ten days, not only have I attracted a large number of Hu cavalry teams, but even Uwei has returned, and what Ye Fuheng asked for has also been completed. If you don't leave, such encounters will become more and more intensive. It is impossible for him to find an opportunity to attack the royal court of Yanran Mountain, but he is just trying to lose his troops.

In less than two hours, another encounter came.

The Hedong Army, which continued to charge with the Heavenly Wolf Formation, continued to unstoppably rush past Hu Qi's block.

"Kill—"

"Immortal Warrior ......"

Two groups of about 1,000 golden wolf cavalry rushed towards the Hedong Army from both flanks. The Hu people learned shrewdly and knew that a frontal battle could not stop the charge of the Han army, so they ambushed two elite troops to attack and kill on the flanks.

If two swords were inserted into the ribs of the waist of these two thousand golden wolves, the total number of casualties of the Hedong Army would definitely exceed 1,000. However, can such a small wrist trap Zhu Biao? When he is a hundred commanders, is it an ornament?

With a loud roar, Zhu Biao turned to the left with a troop of soldiers and horses. Dou Bing and Feng Enjiang turned to the right with another group of soldiers and horses. The two cavalry were also about 1,000 men each, and when they separated the large army, they did not cause the slightest bit of revitalization and chaos, and they were as smooth as flowing water.

The two golden wolf cavalry were routed, and Uweida, who was watching the battle from the top of a mountain in the distance, closed his eyes in pain. There is nothing he can do!

The speed of the Han army was too fast, although Hu Cai's strength was far superior to Zhu Biao. If you can't catch it, it's all for nothing. He took advantage of the birds as much as possible, and weaved a large net into parts. And the combat power of the Hedong cavalry is really amazing, and twice the combat power of it can't stop the second half of the hour......

What else could Uwe do?

The dust fades and returns to nature. After killing Hu Qi's encirclement, Zhu Biao and everyone in the army felt relieved, and then they didn't have to worry about encountering the enemy. For their own marching speed. Everyone in the Hedong Army is full of confidence. The number of dead in the battle exceeded 600, counting the seriously wounded, Zhu Biao really wanted to step back to Hedong in one step......

……

……

Northwest Theater.

"Uncle, since King Xia's army has retreated. Is it necessary for us to attack Gusheng? Isn't it ......?" Li Dai said cautiously. His eyes looked at his uncle Li Teng's miserable face, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

His uncle is also the King of Xia, the King of Xia of the Three Kingdoms of the Western Corner, but in front of Ji Yuan, the eldest son of the Great Zhou Emperor, King Xia. Still...... It's so despicable.

Ji Yuanjun was very well prepared, and the plan to join forces with the Qiang people was also very hidden. The posture has even deceived all the allies of their own country!

Now that Ji Yuan has transferred his main force to the south, he is fine, but he has put a big problem in front of the Xia and Xiliang armies. Li Dai sighed helplessly, some time ago, Zhang Fuyuan and even the friends he made in the Xia Wangfu made some hints, intentionally or unintentionally, asking the Xia army and the Xiliang army to be restless, especially the Li family!

The difference in perspectives led Li Teng to make a judgment that could be called a serious mistake, believing that Ji Yuanjun intended to abandon the four counties in the northwest of Lanzhou and concentrate his forces to hold the south bank of the Weishuiyuan and Baishui-Jinshui River. Such a geographical advantage was transferred back to the King of Xia from the hands of the Qin army, which would inevitably contain the military strength of the Qin army.

Therefore, in the following days, Li Teng's strong invitation can also be said to ask Jiang Wu, the lord of Xiliang, to attack Qin at the same time. In order to seek that under the confrontation of the overall situation, the Xia State and the Xiliang State can take advantage of the Qin State.

Jiang Wu was forced by the five-hundred-year friendship between the Western Liang Kingdom and the Xia State, and the two ancestors were both famous ministers and important generals of the Great Zhou Taizu, as well as the overall situation in the northwest [before the Xia State and the Western Liang State joined forces to contain the Qin State], and reluctantly agreed. In this way, the Xia army and the Xiliang army have the current dilemma.

Li Teng's face turned pale, and the military information report delivered by Ji Yuanjun overnight fell on the bookcase. "The heavens don't help!" Instantly, a tired feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart.

Now that I think back to Zhang Fuyuan's words before, it is simply a vague hint. It's a pity that I thought crookedly.

"Is that what you call your own iniquity and not living?" Li Teng said gloomily in his heart. It's all the bane of my own work.

And Li Teng holds the combat power of the Xia army, and the national strength of the Xia State is much better than the Xiliang Army and the Xiliang State, and he takes the opportunity to attack the Qin State, and the advantage he gets should be greater than that of the Xiliang State. The difference between one thought and the error of a thousand miles, Li Teng's mentality fell into paranoia because of this.

Should you resent Ji Yuanjun for not notifying? No, Li Teng won't. Ji Yuan's ambition is to keep it secret in the whole world, and this kind of top-secret information related to the overall situation of the world is kept secret by everyone, how can it be announced to a weak ally. Fools wouldn't do that!

Li Teng didn't dare to guarantee that none of his subordinates and generals had the heart to go to Tianjing.

Zhang Fuyuan was able to make some hints before, which is already very interesting. With his eyes, he should clearly see that this battle is like without his own persistence. Jiang Wu will not make a big move. Convincing yourself is equivalent to convincing Xiliangguo, but at this point, I want to go in the wrong direction. "Alas, self-inflicted!" Li Teng's face turned even more pale.

Strength, a qiē is all based on strength to speak. With a self-deprecating smile, Li Teng leaned weakly on the back of the seat. If Xia Jun was one of the strongest armies in the world like Qin Jun, and he joined forces with Jiang Wu, how could Ji Yuan dare to despise himself so much, how could he dare to hide the situation? It has been 500 years since the founding of the country. The Qin State, which needs checks and balances, is still vibrant, but the Xia State and the Xiliang Kingdom are long and sunset, and the sun is waning. It seems that it is a class better than the two wastes of Qilu.

"Withdraw?" Li Teng's gaze turned to his nephew, the best rising star in the Xia royal family, "If we withdraw this time." Not to mention that the Li family's reputation for hundreds of years is over, how can they resist the attack of the Qin army in the future? "This battle retreats without a fight, the combination of the Xia army and the Xiliang army is a bit of a paper tiger, the Qin State will definitely retaliate against the Xia State and the Xiliang State when it comes to that. Can you still expect the two ** horses to work together again?

"To attack, you must take Gusheng. Otherwise, the 500-year alliance will disappear! "Either nominally and substantively completely become a vassal of Ji Yuanjun, and completely stake the Xia Kingdom Guozuo on King Xia, whose situation is not very good. Then insist on a certain degree of independence. Only aim the sword and gun at the Qin army, take Gusheng City, and don't trap yourself in the big quagmire of the Central Plains battlefield.

There is only one way for Xia Guo to take Gusheng......

Li Teng closed his eyes haggardly. "Virtuous nephew. Send a letter to your eldest brother. Write it all out, let Chao'er think about it. The road ahead. But it's up to you! ”

"Yes, uncle." Li Dai replied in a low voice, his feelings were low, and he no longer had the excitement of the moment he received the letter.

"Let's write a good letter, it's all written, it's all written......"

There was no further response, and after Li Dai bowed, he turned around and withdrew from the king's tent.

"Let Hugh'er, Tie'er, and Lingming come in."

At the moment when Li Dai was about to withdraw from the big tent, Li Teng's voice sounded again.

"It's Uncle." Li Dai replied, he knew in his heart that another bloodshed of the Xia army was about to begin.

Exiting the big tent and passing Li Teng's words, Li Dai returned to his military tent. Grinding ink and spreading out a silk silk, he did not put down the pen immediately, but calmed down and began to think carefully.

As Li Teng said, Li Dai wants to write the current situation of the Xia army, the situation of the Xiliang army, the situation in the western corner, the Ji Yuan army and even the general trend of the entire Central Plains into this silk silk. He understood what his uncle meant, the eldest brother had a proud and high-spirited temperament, and if he didn't really understand it, he might not be able to break into an uncontrollable catastrophe at some point.

The drums of war beat and the trumpets blow.

Followed by a gallop of 10,000 horses, the voices of the people were boiling. Then after a while, the sound of a tragic fight was faintly heard.

The camp of the Xia army is ** miles away from the east gate of Gusheng City, and the sound of fighting is still clearly audible.

Li Dai was still sitting in the tent.

Three days later, the elite of Ji Yuanjun, which had been 10,000 people, arrived.

It's just that the letter has confessed that Ji Yuanjun supported 10,000 infantry troops to Xia and Xiliang to help the two ** horses attack the city.

To this army under Gusheng City, the person who led the army was Lei Guanglong, the deputy commander of Ji Yuan's own army, and his equipment was very luxurious, and his combat power was also amazing.

Li Dai sighed, in the past few days of tentative siege, the Xia army has lost more than 5,000 people, and the total number of casualties has exceeded 10,000. Although it has not hurt its muscles and bones, Gusheng City in the hands of Qin Jun has also been shaken in the slightest.

Li Dai knew that because the strength of the Xia army entering the territory of the Qin State was far superior to the strength of the Qin army's garrison, the Qin army did not resist too much in its other county towns at all, and directly gathered troops to defend Gusheng. It can be said that in terms of progress, Xia Jun's progress is still good. But in reality, the losses of the Qin army were minimal.

Gusheng East Gate.

Li Teng said kindly: "General Lei, you can start." ”

"Follow the king's order" Li Teng is also the king of Xia no matter what, and he is a king who dares to personally lead the army to conquer, Lei Guanglong must maintain respect.

More than ten fast horses scattered from the center of the military formation to the periphery in an instant, and Lei Guanglong also had heralds, and the military orders were passed down layer by layer, and suddenly, the low sound of horns and war drums turned. Become vigorous and passionate. The rolling drums beat like rain on the hearts of the officers and men of the whole army.

In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, Lei Guanglong galloped in front of the 10,000 Ji Yuan army surrounded by the guards. Coming to the front of the formation, Lei Guanglong raised the spear in his hand and lifted it into the sky, leading his neck to exhale. More than a dozen guards rode their horses at the same time and howled: "The general has an order, the whole army will attack!" ”

A full 3,000 hoplites, real hoplites, all wearing sixty pounds of foot armor. Three thousand pairs of feet stomped heavily on the ground, converging into a suffocating roar. Neat, heavy, and rhythmic. The sound of every step was filled with the aura of bloody killing.

The phalanx of three thousand men began to move slowly forward. The 2,000-foot archers followed, along with thirty wells, ten siege towers, and twenty crossbows. The equipment was all transported by the Lei Guang Long Tong guò carriage, and it took only one night to assemble it.

In the middle of the army.

Li Teng's eyes flashed with a hint of amazement, worthy of being the elite of Ji Yuan's army. This infantry army is in a neat queue. The armor is strong. The march is orderly and fast, and it can be called an elite team in the world.

"Boom!" Three thousand heavy infantry came to a halt two hundred paces in front of the east gate. Then the two thousand heavy shield soldiers + sword players stepped out more and more, forming three heavy shield walls in front of the formation, covering the two thousand archers who followed up and pressed towards the city step by step.

On the city tower, Qin General Yan Jun's eyes were fierce. Shouted: "Discharge the crossbow—"

"Whoosh ......"

The sound of neat crossbow bolts breaking through the air echoed at the head of the city. Rows of crossbow arrows with the same direction and height shot out from the city head on the east side of Gusheng.

At the same time, it is mixed with a good friend, and several fast arrows that cannot be caught by the naked eye.

"Raise the shield!"

Just as the first army of Ji Yuanjun gave an order, he saw three columns of heavy shield soldiers + sword and card players lifting the beast face pattern shield and swallowtail long card in their hands to the upper body.

The beast face pattern shield is rectangular as a whole, but the tail shrinks into a diamond sword shape. The upper part also has a rhombic sword-shaped notch of the same size. It can be said that it is an enlarged version of the enhanced version of the swallowtail long card, with heavy wood and iron plates, covered with raw cowhide, and weighs more than 30 catties.

Such as lifting a large shield to the chest. The upper rhombic sword-shaped notch is timing the head, so that it can be observed externally. And if you lift it to the upper half of the body, it will cover the whole body diagonally.

A thousand beast-faced shields were raised, plus two thousand swallow-tailed long cards, and before the arrows came, they had been connected one after another into a whole.

The notch in the upper part coincides with the tail of the large shield in the hands of the next row. Form a solid wall.

The crossbow bolts poured from the air struck, and there was a dense muffled sound like rain hitting plantains. But this obviously did not kill much. Compared to feather arrows, the number of crossbow arrows is a hundred times higher, but the damage is disproportionately low. Ji Yuanjun, who was hiding behind the big shield, was not killed or injured by the crossbow arrows at all, but he was pierced through twenty-three shields by ten feather arrows, killing and wounding fifty or sixty people.

"Forward-" The former army Sima, who had already checked the terrain, shouted loudly, there was a smooth road ahead, and the heavy shield sword player didn't need to make any observations at all, it didn't matter if he saw it or not, he just walked forward with his head down.

Take advantage of the bed crossbow firing for a while, after the interval of the period.

Thirty steps, fifty steps, the bed crossbow at the head of the city was fired again, and Ji Yuanjun suffered dozens of casualties, but a few small cracks that were cracked were immediately filled by the crowd as soon as they appeared, and the shield wall became tight again.

Eighty steps, one hundred steps, the third blow did not arrive, and ten feathered arrows flew out, but the target was replaced by a siege tower.

The heavy shield slammed into the ground, and suddenly there was a deafening loud bang, and almost instantly, the three rows of Ji Yuanjun who were slowly moving forward turned into a mountain made of steel, standing steadily in the endless rain of arrows.

Almost as soon as the front army was in formation, the archers under the shields had already drawn arrows from the quiver and inserted them in the front row. Ji Yuanjun's counterattack begins-

"Shoot the arrows......" There was a long howl that hissed from the bottom

The longbow is in his hand, and the arrow is on the string. With an order, the two thousand Ji Yuan army foot archers stretched their bows, buckled strings, and pointed arrows into the sky. The movements are neat. Coherent.

Two thousand sharp eagle arrows burst through the air, and a piercing scream rang out in the air.

"Bang bang...", but the two armies collided in the air with a rain of arrows.

A hundred steps apart, in an instant. After the collision, the arrows of the Ji Yuan army, which were still like clouds, swept through the sky unaffected, and fell on the head of Gusheng City in an instant, carrying the huge lethal carved arrows pouring down like drops.

"Doo" - a low, muffled sound, which is the arrow striking the shield.

"Bell" - crisp, sharp, this is on the bluestone of the city wall.

"Flutter ......"

"Ah......h

The sound of entering the flesh, the sound of screaming. Dying, miserable.

The arrows of the two armies were as dense as raindrops, like the grinding of one reincarnation after another, knocking and sharpening the nerves of the two soldiers at the head of the city and the soldiers under the city all the time.

"Uh, don't crowd ......" There were some panicked voices in the city. Compared with the elite of the pro-army under Ji Yuan, who had experienced many wars, although the prestige of the Qin army was grand, the goods under Yan Jun were obviously much worse.

Forty wells and ten siege towers are all eight feet and five feet high, a little higher than the city wall of Gusheng. The base is five zhang square, and the length and width to the top are two zhang each. It is divided into three floors, which can be arranged with 30, 40 and 60 people respectively.

When these wells and siege towers were killed in front of Gusheng City, the Xia army, which had 3,000 heavily armed infantry armor in hand, won the final victory.

Gusheng County, Li Teng can win it after all. But later, when the main force of the Qin army returned to attack, only God knows whether it can hold and continue to expand its territory.

Li Teng didn't need to think about that, he just needed to take Gusheng County. Stimulated by the Xia army, Jiang Wuding will also increase his offensive efforts, so that he can maintain the old situation in the western corner.

Ji Yuan turned around, and Li Teng no longer expected to destroy the Qin State, and raised his eyebrows. That's all he wants now—

(To be continued)
