"Dang Chang!" "Dang Chang!" "Dang Chang!" weapons fell from the hands of the minions on the ice one after another, splashing pieces of jade. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the face of the sudden fierce battle, the first reaction of the vast majority of the "Heavenly Righteous Army" soldiers was not to go ashore to meet the battle, but to stand on the ice, their eyes straight, and their mouths long enough to be stuffed directly into an egg.
Even if the "Heavenly Righteous Army" was in its heyday, the total number of cavalry probably would not reach 30 percent of what it was in front of, and there was no way to talk about training. And the formation of this cavalry was as neat as a knife cutting tofu. Its elite level, even compared with the Khitan leather army, is probably not inferior!(Note 1)
"Don't panic, don't panic, go ashore and line up, go ashore and line up!" On the empty river beach, the voice of Shi Hongjie, the envoy of the Great Liao Heavenly Righteous Army, looked extremely lonely.
The enemy came prepared, and he fell into the trap by himself! Among these henchmen, there must have been someone who had already set up a line with the other side! Otherwise, it would be impossible for the enemy to know where he had crossed from thousands of miles away. It is even more impossible, risking freezing to death by the cold wind, just blocking your own way!
However, now is not the time to find out who is giving the enemy a tip-off. Fleeing too hurriedly on the other side of the mountain, the "Heavenly Righteous Army" didn't bother to bring too much grain and grass at all. At this moment, I turned around and returned to the mountains, and the result must have been starved to death. Besides, nine out of ten of the brothers under his command are foot soldiers, and two legs can't outrun four legs anyway!
"Array, go ashore and array. With so many lives on his back, and being arrested by the officers and soldiers, no one can survive!"
"Array, array, side by side. If they don't give us a way to live, we will fight our own way to live!"
At the critical moment, several other family members of the "Heavenly Righteous Army" also did their best. One by one, brandishing steel knives, they stumbled around on the ice, constantly forcing the frightened minions towards the shore. Anyone who dares to continue to stand in a daze will be stabbed in the face as long as they see it.
"Ahββ!h
"Ahββ! spare ......"
"Mother's ββ!"
The screams rang out quickly, faintly suppressing the noise of the horses' hooves. Under the reminder of the steel knife and blood, all the minions finally regained some senses, pushed each other, and slid closer to Shi Hongjie's handsome banner step by step.
No one wants to go too fast, and as soon as the urging behind them is a little farther away, there will immediately be minions trying to stand still. The appearance of the enemy army is too terrifying, even more terrifying than the Gao Jiajun who had just beaten them to the ground last month. When the Gao family army came over, there was a burst of piercing noise. The enemy army in the distance, except for the sound of horses' hooves, made no sound.
They are like a piece of ice that has been frozen for tens of thousands of years, along the bank of the river, pressing over, pressing over, pressing over, pressing the ground and shaking the mountains, crushing the fish in the river, constantly rushing out of the water. The minions trembled, their legs and feet were weak, and their bodies trembled like sorghum in the autumn wind.
"Those who dare to flee will be killed! Those who dare to disobey orders will be killed!" The big boss Shi Hongjie suddenly had red eyes, roared and rushed onto the ice, waving a knife and chopping indiscriminately.
"Array, go ashore and array. Whoever doesn't listen to the order again, Lao Tzu will kill him first!" Seeing that the big boss personally went down to the river to supervise the battle, all the leaders who could wear brocade robes were also red-eyed. Immediately following Shi Hongjie's horse's buttocks, he rushed into the crowd and opened fire on the slow-moving minions.
More blood splattered, and more minions screamed and fell onto the ice. Under the slaughter that bordered on madness, the minions were forced out of their last courage. Before the enemy arrived, he rushed to the river beach crying. Clustered under Shi Hongjie's Jiedu envoys, they are like a swarm of ants in the torrent.
"Fourth, fifth, you two take the guards, each pick a thousand pikemen, and give me the flag in front of the formation. Unless they are all dead, no one is allowed to take half a step back!" Seeing that his team could barely fight, Shi Hongjie gritted his teeth and began to adjust his deployment.
"Sixth, seventh, back back, with all the archers, standing behind the fourth and fifth. Start firing arrows a hundred steps away from the enemy, don't save it, shoot all the feather arrows at me, and shoot them at the top of the enemy's brain!"
"Lao Jiu, Lao Yu, you two each take two hundred people, and take twenty steps back to supervise the battle. Whoever dares to escape, no matter how big or small the official position, will be slaughtered directly by Lao Tzu!"
The rest of the brothers, following their own hundred generals, stood under the banner of Lao Zishuai. The officials and soldiers won't let us live, Lao Tzu will take you to fight a way out of life today!"
After all, he is a person who has dealt with the official army for many years, has never eaten pork, and has seen a pig run. A series of orders came out of Shi Hongjie's mouth, and before the two armies officially came into contact, he reluctantly put his own team in a battle formation.
The pikemen took the river as the starting point, and lined up in five rows of secret hemp more than ten paces in front of the flag of the "Tianyi Festival Envoy". The jagged guns stabbed diagonally into the ground, and the rusty spear pointed diagonally at the height of a man and a half in front of him. Underneath Rulin's gun were faces that had been deformed.
Immediately after the pikemen, the archers shuddered, drew their horned bows, put their feathered arrows on their arms, and slammed them upward. The spear array can deter the horses, and the bow and arrow will kill the enemy as much as possible before the pikemen in front are dead. This is an effective tactic that has been proven in actual combat, and with this, the Tianyi Army has successfully killed several fellow Jianghu on the other side of Taihang Mountain.
The largest group of minions stood on Shi Hongjie's side. Or with a steel sword, or with a spear, as if he were at home. They are the last killer move of the "Heavenly Righteous Army", and at the critical moment, all of them suddenly burst out to fight back, often catching the opponent off guard.
"Blow the horn, strengthen my prestige!" One last glance at the front and back, Shi Hongjie raised the steel knife and slashed hard. The enemy forces are so powerful that you must withstand their first blow before you can find an opportunity to escape. When it comes to escaping, it has always been easier for fewer people to escape, and the more chaotic the situation, the easier it is. As long as you take off the brocade robe at the right time, a strange place, a strange opponent, who can recognize yourself as the master of history?
"Woo, woo, woo-woo-" The desolate sound of the horn slowly sounded around him, and the strong men among the several bandits struggled to puff out their cheeks, spreading the desperate rhythm throughout the river beach.
"Death is death, the head has a big scar on the mouth of the bowl!"
"Kill one is enough, kill two and earn one!"
"They won't let us live, and we won't let them feel better!"
"Kill, kill, kill......"
The desperate thieves were stimulated by the sound of the horn to the last ferocity in their hearts. Tear your throat open and let out a roar. It is also a betrayal of the ancestors, so why can some people be emperors, prime ministers, and generals, and some people should be chased and have nowhere to stay? This is unfair, absolutely unfair. Lao Tzu is not convinced, and death is not convinced!
"If you want to be an official, kill people and set fires to be recruited!"
"Killing one person is a thief, killing a hundred people is a general, killing eight million is for the male of the male!"
"The husband was born to carry a knife, cut off people's heads for credit, traveled three thousand miles across the Central Plains, and crossed the horse Chang'an to wear a purple robe. You don't see it, there is the Yellow King, who is rampant in the world, killing corrupt officials, Jieku officials, changing the Yuan Wang's hegemony and vowing not to surrender, and the eclipse of the official army ...... 3,000 people" (Note 2)
The shouts grew louder and frantic. The red-eyed gangsters raised their weapons and straightened their bodies, ready for a final stand.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and the shouting stopped. Hundreds of feathered arrows flew into the sky, flying above the heads of the oncoming cavalry. Blood splashed quickly in the cavalry's spear array, and the horses let out a low mournful roar. Someone was injured and fell from their mount, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. The speed of the whole team did not stop, and continued to move forward rapidly along the river bank, forward, unstoppable.
The second wave of feathered arrows flew into the sky again, followed by the third. In the cavalry's gun array, there were people who were hit by arrows one after another, but few people fell from their horses again. Those who did not directly lose consciousness all fought with their last strength and hugged the neck of the war horse. The brothers on the left and right did their best to clamp his horse between them to ensure that he never left the ranks.
At the front of the entire team, it is still as neat as a knife cut tofu. The surface of the shield fixed to the saddle is densely covered with carved feathers. Like the ears of wheat in the autumn field, they sway up and down as the horses advance.
"Shoot again, shoot again, keep shooting for Lao Tzu!" Chu Lianbi, the seventh master, waved the flag, his face was pale, and his voice was like a broken gong knocking. The enemy behaved so strangely, he had never seen the same thing in his life. When he charged, he didn't spread out the formation, and when he was hit by an arrow, he didn't fight back, but he just kept moving forward, forward, and forward against the rain of arrows.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot, you bastards!" Fang Wen, the sixth master, was knocked on his scalp by the sound of horses' hooves, and jumped around his team like a rabbit. He could usually fire three arrows in battle, but the enemy cavalry in front of him was advancing much faster than the other cavalry he had come into contact with before. Before the opponent makes contact with his own gunner, he may be able to shoot two more rounds. After two rounds, whether you live or die, I'm afraid you can only resign yourself to fate!
More feathered arrows flew into the sky, and then hail into the cavalry. Wave after wave, endlessly. Others fell off their mounts one after another, and were trampled into pulp by the horses behind them. The entire phalanx kept shooting red smoke from the hail-like feathered arrows, but the speed never slowed down a bit.
"Ahββ!h Peng Lianfeng, the fifth master, immediately raised his knife and split this person in half. Then he raised his head covered with blood and roared loudly: "Hold the gun tightly, hold it tightly, the spear will be pointed forward, forward! The horse will not dare to be strong on the tip of the gun by itself, believe Lao Tzu, the horse will not dare to hit the tip of the gun by itself!"
"Don't run, you can't outrun the war horse!" Xue Baoyi, the fourth master, also killed the minions who tried to escape, while constantly cheering up his brothers. If you don't succeed in this move, you may be able to see a miracle if you risk your life.
Both of them did their best, and their henchmen also gave up everything they could to help stabilize the team. However, in front of the rumbling horses' hooves, there were still minions that kept fleeing. I'd rather be stabbed in the back than stand still and be trampled into pulp.
"Don't run, you can't outrun the war horse! The head is off, but there is a big scar at the mouth of the bowl! Lao Tzu is at the front, Lao Tzu is the first to die!" Xue Baoyi hacked seven minions to death one after another, and finally lost the courage to continue to swing the knife at the head of his brother. Turning suddenly, he unslashed his steel sword, snatched a spear from the pool of blood, and strode towards the enemy.
The feathered arrows were still flying down in mid-air, and the enemy army continued to move forward in the blood light. Twenty steps, nineteen steps, eighteen steps, seventeen steps, sixteen steps, suddenly, Xue Baoyi saw the oncoming cavalry, raised a hand from behind the shield, "Woo-" A metallic luster with the sound of the wind rushed down from mid-air.
"Ahββ!h The screams of "ββ! mother", "my hand, my hand ββ!" and "helpββ! " rose with the sound of the wind and instantly resounded through the river beach. The dense spear array, which was originally in front of the cavalry, was smashed to pieces in an instant.
"Despicableββ!" Xue Baoyi shouted, staggering. Three axes struck him at the same time, making three huge cuts in his sternum, ribs, and the base of his left leg. The spear in his hand could no longer be grasped, and the vision was blurred.
In the next moment, countless horse's legs galloped past where he stood. A faint cloud of red smoke jumped up violently, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. His body vanished in an instant, like dew falling into the sand, and no trace could be found.
The cavalry did not pause at all, and with the speed of their horses, they raised their left hand high from behind their shields again, and the "Woo ββ!" was another violent metal whirlwind, and hundreds of short axes, flashing with dazzling cold light, smashed into the heads of the remaining roadblockers.
"Ahββ!" was another heart-rending scream, and the minions who had not yet recovered from the first wave of blows were smashed to pieces, and their corpses were piled up.
The galloping Han cavalry turned a deaf ear to the terrible screams, lowered their left arms, and held their spears tightly with both hands. Shoulder to shoulder, stirrup to stirrup, spear pointed, still in the way of the chests of those who stood in the way.
ββ!Before the cavalry's horses collided with the spears blocking the road, the minions of the "Baoyi Army" had completely collapsed. , screaming and throwing away his weapon, turning his body, and fleeing.
