Volume 1 The Fire Mage Who Knows Martial Arts Chapter 55 The Jedi Fight Back in Vain
"Division...... The madman senior is about three hundred steps away in the northwest direction, and there are countless brute dog corpses around him, and he has died."
Yan Zhenbei found the madman's head in a pile of severed arms and stumps, and stood for a long time without saying a word.
Li Dashi looked for clothes to wrap up, and came over to ask Shi Keqi what happened, Yan Yanping was far away, and the expression on her face was complicated and inexplicable.
After listening to Shi Keqi's narration, Li Dashi went over and told Yan Zhenbei, who was standing still, the cause of the madman's death, he wanted to pass the head of the package, led the horse away, and did not let them follow......
"I didn't expect that my uncle was so strong, and I couldn't imagine that you could be so brave to assassinate the man, with this, you are a real man. Li Dashi said to Shi Keqi.
"Also, congratulations, my sister and I got married last month. β
Shi Keqi's standing body shook a few times.
The youth that once sprouted, and the people who once liked it were already other people's brides. I had a dream before that I rode a dragon from the sky and came down beside you, but you became someone else's bride. I haven't ridden a dragon yet, you're someone else's bride, and the heavens and the earth are darkened, and there is no light. Shi Keqi said this to himself in his heart.
Shi Keqi said with a forced smile on his face: "Senior brother, I wish you happiness, and say hello to senior sister for me." β
"Thank you!" Li Dashi didn't mind what he was called.
As for the very unpleasant thing before, Li Dashi knew it or not, anyway, he didn't mention it, he patted Shi Keqi on the shoulder and left.
Yan Yanping waited for him to pass, and the two drove the horses side by side.
Shi Keqi sat down again, squinting and resting for a while before he had the strength to stand up again. The head is still groggy, which is the result of the overdraft spell.
No, what about Xiaolan, he was startled, there was no shadow of it around.
"Xiaolan, where have you been?" shouted Shi Keqi.
Not far away, a black horse stepped on, Shi Keqi looked at it, and couldn't help but be happy, it turned out to be Xiaolan leading the scattered horse. A small animal with a height of more than one foot led a nearly two-meter-tall war horse, and the horse obediently did not dare to resist, which was really amazing.
"You're definitely not a four-legged snake, say, what the hell?"
Xiaolan's eyes widened, looking at Shi Keqi blankly, not understanding what he was talking about.
"Forget it, you can't speak," Shi Keqi finished and climbed on the horse, and Xiaolan jumped on the horse. War horses are surprisingly well-behaved and obedient, and generally trained horses will not be so honest and obedient when ridden by strangers. Shi Keqi Dale, who has never ridden a horse, does not need to pull the reins, and the big black horse runs steadily.
After riding for a long time on the official road, I met the black spearmen, after winning the battle of Xiangzhou last time, the imperial court gave them a lot of property to reward them, and this time I was ordered to rescue Wangzhou, Wang Liangqin led more than 7,000 people and horses to fight.
The last time the black spearmen were lightly armed, and the baggage was left behind, although there were no cavalry, there were still a lot of ponies and mules carrying grain and grass weapons.
Because he fought side by side with Wang Liangqin last time, he was also familiar with his face, and many people in the black spearmen knew him, and when he said that he had a major military situation to report to Wang Liangqin, he still got permission.
He met her in the center of the team, briefly described the assassination experience, and gave a detailed account of the enemy.
"Oh, you injured the man's sweat?" Wang Liangqin was noncommittal about the information, the black spearmen had their own horses to scout, and they were a little surprised by the result of the assassination. You must know that with only more than 100 masters, if you want to injure the barbarian sweat in an army of 100,000, the difficulty is higher than ascending to the sky.
"Relying on the owner of Xiahou Zhuang to attract the attention of most people first, the sneak attack was successful, but unfortunately he became a benevolent, and Master Liu and Mad Xia desperately cast spells to cover our escape. Shi Keqi's face darkened when he thought of the heroes who had died in battle.
"In war, people will always die, and they will die as they deserve, and they will be worthy of respect. The most regrettable thing is that he didn't kill the barbarian Khan, otherwise the siege of the imperial capital would have been solved without a fight. Wang Liangqin said.
"Hey, anyway, I owe it to everyone, how good it would be if I died that day!"
"Don't feel guilty, you just follow him, and you are qualified to live with this blood. If you have nowhere to go, if you don't, follow our army for the time being. Wang Liangqin said expressionlessly, she has experienced too much in this life, and life and death have been seen very lightly.
After last night's assassination, except for some dead and wounded, the barbarians had no intention of retreating, but instead intensified their efforts to sweep away various towns and villages on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
In addition to robbing and burning them all, the abdomen of pregnant women was dissected to see the fetus, the elderly were forced to eat feces and then beheaded, the young women were embedded with maces, the men were torn apart by cars, and the babies were roasted and eaten.
The place they passed was scorched, and it was rare to find a single intact corpse, and black smoke rose into the sky, one after another.
Over time, these animalistic acts gradually spread throughout the Northern Zhou and Southern Dynasties, some gritted their teeth with hatred, some trembled with fear, and very few people were inspired to rejoice, hating to join them in unleashing the evil in human nature.
When the catastrophe comes, there will always be some scum that will surface, but no matter what people think, in the state capital that has not been affected by the war, everyone shouts and kills without a column talking on the surface, and the barbarians have become street rats that everyone shouts and beats.
But this is an unprecedentedly strong rat, and when it stands in front of people, how many people dare to fight? Some people thought so.
In June of the fifteenth year of Wude, the sun was like fire, and the imperial capital city defense was in danger several times, but it was blocked in time by Taiwei Li Shicheng, and the sweetness was not tasted for a few days, and the barbarians temporarily stopped attacking the city, retreated for several miles, and camped in a cool place.
So far, there are more than 200,000 reinforcements from all walks of life gathered on the outskirts of the imperial capital, and a few days ago, an army of 100,000 people rashly attacked the barbarians, and the whole army that was beaten collapsed, and those who died fled to the dead, leaving less than 50,000 people.
The day before yesterday, there were 50,000 elite people from the border army, who were very confident in themselves, thinking that the barbarians' physical strength would decline after a battle, and the chances of winning would be greatly increased, so they were too lazy to wait for reinforcements from all walks of life to arrive, so they attacked rashly, and the beaten ass was urinated, but fortunately, the broken general sacrificed himself to save others, and only lost 15,000.
Among the more than 200,000 people, the oldest and highest position is Liu Luqing, the general of Zhenhai of the Wangzhou Army, the old general has lost a small battle before the barbarians attack the imperial capital, this time the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Wangzhou rescued the imperial capital, and the imperial capital has the Tianwei Army and the Tianshen Army two elite army of 400,000 people to defend it, although it has not been broken, but it is precarious several times, so that the emperor has dropped the cherished Jade Dragon Cup.
100,000 people attacked the city, 400,000 people defended the city, the time and place were favorable, and all the people were on the defensive, and they also played a pig-like record, and everyone would be angry.
The 400,000 troops defending the city in the imperial capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were mainly composed of the Tianshen Army and the Tianwei Army.
The Tianshen Army belongs to the royal army, and the record is not under the control of Taiwei Li, but the Tianwei Army is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, which makes the Taiwei, who is known as the first military god of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, lose face, so he contacted the reinforcements outside the city to attack a total of time.
The civil and military affairs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were equal, the civil officials were under the control of the prime minister and were in charge of civil affairs, the military attachΓ©s were led by the Taiwei and were in charge of the military, and the emperor was in charge of the civil and military ministers.
Liu Luqing convened the top generals of various armies to discuss the matter, and Wang Liangqin's prestige and military exploits could compete with him, but she was born in the Tu clan and led a small number of soldiers, so she could only participate in the deliberations, and it was difficult to subdue the generals, let alone order an army to fight together.
As for Shi Keqi, he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the tent, and the idea of talking inside to convince many old foxes could only be a fantasy.
Liu Luqing is fifty-six years old this year, and the years have left a lot of marks on his face, except for his hard body and bright eyes, there is no difference between other places and ordinary old people. The average life expectancy of people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was less than 50 years old, and people over 50 years old could be called old people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the barbarians are more brutal than the beasts, and I think everyone knows that, so I won't say much about this. The barbarians have killed tens of millions of people in our dynasty, and even the emperor is still under the threat of the barbarians, as an old pawn, it is a trivial matter to have a dull face and even be punished, and the emperor is frightened by the dust of the imperial capital is the greatest shame of the warriors. Liu Luqing looked around at the senior generals present.
No one opened their mouths, the atmosphere was a little depressing, the two who had lost the battle were naturally obedient, closed their mouths and eyes, looked at their noses, and looked at their hearts and made bodhisattvas, and the other few soldiers and horses had fewer positions and lower positions, and they also made gourds with their mouths, but Wang Liangqin, the general of Changsheng, opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound.
"Since you are not under my control, the purpose of inviting you here is to ------ the Wangzhou army intends to launch an attack on the barbarians, please help. According to the wartime emergency regulations, everything is to protect the supremacy of the imperial capital, as the general of Wangzhou, he has the right to order the troops led by the general below this position, no matter who belongs to the general, and no one raises objections. β
......γ
"Alright, now I announce the order of the lieutenant and distribute the combat mission. β
Everyone gasped, what an old fox, obviously had the orders of the supreme military commander of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and also talked about the wartime regulations of the calf, could it be that he wanted to see who had an opinion on him?
The next morning, there were many dark clouds floating in the sky, and the sun was not too gentle, and it was a little stuffy.
The Ukrainian spearmen were placed at the front of the Chinese army.
100,000 barbarian cavalry attacked, flying arrows poured like a storm, and the shields of the black spearmen were erected into a forest, unwavering despite the roar of the wind.
Seeing that the rain of arrows had little effect, the two thousand barbarian cavalry began to charge into formation, and after losing more than 100 lives, they bypassed them and merged into the main army to attack both flanks with all their might.
The left flank resisted a little, and before the brute could cut through, it collapsed at the touch of a button. The situation on the right wing is better, the formation is neat, and the brute cavalry who do not want to break into the formation for the time being is trying to shoot arrows, but unfortunately their archery skills are secondary, among the chaotic arrows, flying high can go up to the sky to hit birds, and flying low can drill into the ground to find earthworms.
As soon as the left flank fled, the right flank collapsed, and then the rear of the Chinese army.
In the noisy battlefield, only the black spearmen remained on the side of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the rest fled, chased and slaughtered by tens of thousands of barbarian horsemen.
Captain Li's battle plan was to attack from the front and back, with more than 200,000 reinforcements fighting the barbarians head-on, and the Tianwei army opening the city gate to attack the back, forming a two-sided attack.
But the left and right flanks collapsed so quickly that the assembled Tianwei army behind the city gate hesitated. Taiwei Li's right hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and his mouth tightened.
"Liu Luqing misunderstood me! This guy should be killed. β
