Chapter 2 (12)
"Formation, formation in place!" someone shouted in Liu Hao's ear, foaming at the star, accompanied by hot breathing, spraying his head all over his face. E small 』Ω Δ said Ω.
It was the few guys who didn't open their minds who came to remind him to be careful on the orders of Yang Chonggui just now, but at this moment, they reacted faster than all smart people, and after identifying the person as friend or foe, they immediately came up with the most direct remedy.
"Formation, everyone stops, prepare for battle!" The cavalry retreats to the two wings, and the pikemen form a horse formation on the spot!" The third prince Liu Hao woke up like a dream, and also shouted at the top of his throat, "Yang Tong, Li Jin, Wu Xuanba, the three of you go down and form a team, be sure to prepare the battle formation before the enemy kills you!"
"Formation, formation, don't panic!" Yang Tong, Li Jin, and Wu Xuanba turned their mounts, and while riding their horses against their own team, they conveyed Liu Hao's orders downward.
However, in a hurry, how could the soldiers be ready for battle immediately. The cavalry didn't have time to restore the strength of the horses, the foot soldiers didn't have time to put on their armor, and even many of the pikemen who were pinned on by Liu Hao couldn't figure out where they should stand in a panic.
"Formation, you hurry up and form a formation. Spearman, spearman hurriedly stood in front of the three princes!" Zhang Yuanheng was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, his feet were on the saddle, and his right hand waved the flag vigorously.
"Formation, formation, spearmen, pikemen stand in front of the handsome banner!" The surrounding soldiers stretched their necks, waved the command flag, and repeated Zhang Yuanheng's words over and over again.
More than a dozen old soldiers with spears staggered up and blocked in front of Liu Hao. Soon, there were more than a dozen stumbling over it. Operating in Taiyuan for many years, Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Chong brothers are indeed quite popular. At a critical juncture, there are always some loyal people who are willing to give their lives for the Liu family.
"There are too few people. Again, some more. As long as we form a stable formation, we will not be afraid of their cavalry!" Zhang Yuanheng waved the order flag with his right hand, stepped on the saddle with both feet, and shouted hoarsely.
There was a great deal of noise all around, and it was impossible for any military order to be heard by all the brothers. However, the banner in his hand could be clearly seen by the brothers. There are already veteran 6 who have rushed to the handsome flag, according to the current situation, as long as he is given a small half pillar of incense time, I believe that the team in the team and the leaders will bring others to rush over together to deal with the crisis in front of them.
However, there are eight out of ten unsatisfactory people in the world. Before he could implement his thoughts into the whole army, in mid-air, there was a sudden scalp-making sound, "Whoosh, swish, swish......"
Immediately after, thousands of feathered arrows fell from the sky, carrying the wind and the biting cold, sowing death and fear in the hearts of every Han soldier.
"Ahh Fortunately, the Qingqiang lotus leaf armor bought with a lot of money was strong enough to prevent him from being killed on the spot by random arrows. However, the sharp stinging pain also caused him to roll on the ground with a scream, and bright red blood slurred down the holes in his armor.
"Save people, save people, save General Zhang!" The voice of the third prince Liu Hao had changed his tone, and he leaned down from his horse, intending to pick up his friend Zhang Yuanheng.
This action is too layman. Before his arm touched the ground, a startled horse with a dead owner suddenly galloped by. The bloodied front leg was hitting his shoulder. With a "boom", he flew sideways and flew more than a foot away before he hit the other two personal soldiers, and fell into a rolling gourd with the latter.
"Save General Zhang!"
"Save the Three Princes!"
"Save people, hurry up and save people!"
"Save ......"
The guards were so frightened that they immediately rushed up, pulling and pulling, lifting and lifting, lifting the third prince Liu Hao and Zhang Yuanheng, who was shot like a hedgehog, from the ground, and quickly lifted the backs of the other two war horses. However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, "swish, swish, swish, swish......", the sound of seeping feather arrows breaking through the air came, and the second wave of carvings, and thousands of them, flew down in the air again, and the rain hit the wheat field, beating the phalanx of Liu Hanjun's unformed formation.
"Don't, leave me alone, form a formation, quickly form a formation. The battle is hardened, and the cavalry of the Zhou thieves is about to rush over!" At the moment of life and death, the third prince Liu Hao did not lose his true character as a man, wiped the blood from his nose fiercely, and instructed angrily with an urn.
His instructions are quite correct, and at the moment, the key is to withstand the impact of the opponent's cavalry, and his safety as a commander is no longer important. What's more, the armor on his body was strong enough, even if he was shot once or twice by a stray arrow, or thrown to the ground, and then trampled by a war horse four or five times, it was not enough to be fatal.
However, it was already too late.
Just when the guards were busy helping him and Zhang Yuanheng, the first wave of the opponent's cavalry had already rushed to within thirty steps.
At the front of the whole team, Gao Huaide, a young general wearing silver armor and white robes, laughed wildly and dropped the riding bow in his hand, leaned over and took off the silver spear from the saddle bridge, and the three-foot-long spear pointed straight at Liu Hao's handsome banner. "Brothers, follow me and kill!"
"Kill!" More than 2,000 elites of the Gao family army shouted in unison, abandoning their bows, holding their guns, and riding their horses, and their movements were like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, the last thirty paces were swept by the horse's hooves. The bright spear blade crashed into the panicked ranks, and in an instant, blood flowed like a river.
Liu Hanguo's soldiers who hurriedly blocked in front of their handsome banner were stabbed down by cavalry guns one after another, and they had no power to fight back at all. Red plasma spurted hot from the wound into the sky, then turned into rain and mist. Clouds of mist evaporated in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, the green trees, flowing clouds, and sunlight all changed color, and between heaven and earth, only boundless red remained.
Liu Hanguo's army has been decided! In the past half a month, all the victories they have won have been deliberately given away by their opponents. With each additional victory, they took one more step into the trap. Today they chased their opponents from the mountains to the plains, and the opponents just took advantage of the situation to close the net and turn around to give them a fatal blow.
"Escort, escort!" In the scarlet blood mist, Zhang Yuanheng shouted loudly and exchanged tears. The main formation had already been broken by Gao Huaide from the front before it was formed, and on the left and right sides, there were two enemy armies about to attack. At this moment, even if the gods came, they could no longer lead Liu Hanjun to turn defeat into victory. The only thing he can do, and what he must do, is to find a way to bring the third prince Liu Hao out of the battlefield safely and escape with this person.
As for the desperate screams in all directions, Zhang Yuanheng turned a deaf ear. It doesn't matter what matters, if the generals are dead, they can be promoted from among the soldiers, and if the soldiers are dead, they can be forcibly conscripted from the people. As long as the third prince Liu Hao does not die, he will have the opportunity to put the responsibility for the defeat of this battle on the heads of others, and no matter how bad it is, he can save his life. And if the third prince Liu Hao dies in the chaos, his brother Zhang Yuanzheng will not be able to protect him no matter how trusted he is. If it is lighter, it will end up in a different place, and if it is heavier, I am afraid that my wife and children will be implicated.
"Escort, escort, escort!" all around, all the guards roared in response, using their bodies to form a fortress of flesh and blood. Like Zhang Yuanheng, for them, it is also the life of the third prince Liu Hao, which is ten times more important than the victory or defeat of this battle.
Several horses rushed forward, and the rider on horseback did not hesitate to stab his spear. The guards beside Zhang Yuanheng sacrificed their lives to pounce and resisted the spear with their chests.
"Boom!" The outermost flesh fortress collapsed in an instant, and the cavalry of the Gao family army carried several corpses with their spears and galloped away. Several of Liu Hanguo's personal guards filled their positions with red eyes, rebuilt the collapsed flesh and blood fortress, held their weapons tightly, and greeted the arrival of the next wave of cavalry with desperate faces.
"Leave me alone, let's go by ourselves. Lone is going to die here today, and die here to fight for the brothers!" The voice of the third prince Liu Hao sounded from the deepest part of the flesh fortress, with the madness of a trapped beast.
The position of the prince, the name of the good general, and the ambition and hegemony that the fathers have been chasing all their lives, just before half a pillar of incense, were close to him. And after just half a pillar of incense, everything has become a dream bubble.
The low-hanging victory was gone, the team that had been painstakingly built up was broken, the fame he had worked so hard to accumulate, the position he had managed to snatch from his father's heart, he ......
If he loses these, what else can he do to fight with his brother? He can't fight with his brother, and it has also aroused the vigilance of the other party, once the other party takes the throne, he will definitely be worse than dead!
It is better to die on the battlefield now than to die in humiliation in the future. At least, if it's dead now, it will die with a bang. In desperation, the eyes of the third prince Liu Hao quickly began to turn red. Raising the sword in his hand high and instigating his mount, he prepared to deliver a decisive blow to the enemy at most, "Leave me alone, I will die today......"
"Phew!" was one of the first to warn him of the enemy's possible deception, and slammed his arm off and slammed the scabbard on the back of his head. smashed him and rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.
"Leave a few people to guard the handsome banner and attract the attention of the enemy! I'll take the three princes to go first!" Before the guards had time to get angry, the attacker had already picked up Liu Hao with one hand and placed it horizontally in front of his own saddle, "In Xia Jiao Song, it is the command of the Yanei army under the tent of the Dingzhou defense envoy." If you don't die, just come to Dingzhou to find me!"
Anyway, the war horse area will be killed before the next wave of Gaojia cavalry arrives, and quickly flee.
