Chapter 180: The Queen
The large-scale cavalry melee continued, but the steppe cavalry had begun to consciously gather their forces, just like two drunks who were constantly fighting, one of them began to retreat, wanting to take the opportunity to get rid of this disgraceful fight, but the other side often would not give up, so the premise of wanting to leave early was to pay a sufficient price.
In this regard, the price paid by the steppe side was a large number of casualties of cavalry, the constant contraction and retreat of the front.
Xiao Yu handed over the command to Lu Shixing, turned over and dismounted, and only held the sheathed broken array in his hand.
Xiao Yu looked at the battlefield expressionlessly, and his hands trembled slightly.
Xiao Yu's vitality, which had been severely damaged in the series of wars, began to recover sharply.
Take advantage of the killing of 10,000 people to save his own sword.
Not far away, is the time of Lu Shixing, who is temporarily in power. In terms of this kind of army command, Xiao Yu is not much better than Lu Shixing, and it can even be said that he is much worse than a general like Lu Shixing. Therefore, at such a time, he simply handed over the command to Lu Shixing, and it was enough for him to do what he had to do.
Lu Shixing held down the scimitar at his waist and immediately stood on a high slope and looked at the battlefield.
The old man sighed softly and said: "It is worthy of Xu Lin's descendant army, this unreasonable hand of the horse, if it is encountered by ordinary people, I am afraid that it will already be chaotic, if it is a little worse in command, it is not impossible to lose a big defeat, but Xu Lin's formation is orderly in chaos, and there are 20,000 heavy cavalry that have not been dispatched, this battle is not easy to fight." ”
Zhuge Gong immediately walked beside Lu Shixing and asked in a low voice, "Do we really want to retreat first?"
Lu Shixing nodded and said, "Of course." ”
Zhuge Gong frowned and said, "But if one is not careful, it will cause a total rout." ”
Lu Shixing said bluntly: "This is the meaning of the horse. ”
Zhuge Gong's brows soothed, and his face was expressionless.
Lu Shixing then added: "Although it means a horse, this is my order. ”
Zhuge Gong raised his eyebrows: "The thousands of households below will complain." And your reputation. ”
Zhuge Gong didn't finish speaking, just looked at Lu Shixing.
Lu Shixing nodded and said, "They will hate me, but the colt will remember me." ”
Zhuge froze for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.
The scuffle continued, from day to night, and the already hazy sky seemed to be splashed with a layer of thick ink, and there was no bright moon, no stars, and no fingers.
As night fell, both sides of the day's battle began to retreat, leaving a river of blood and corpses all over the field.
The battle was finally about to end, Lu Shixing beckoned, and the Duoduo who had retreated from the front line just now came over, and the old man asked, "How much is the approximate loss?"
Duoduo said in a deep voice, "Two teams of 10,000 people have been completely dispersed. The other 30,000 troops also suffered heavy losses. ”
Lu Shixing pondered for a moment and said, "Pass the order, leave two 10,000 people behind, and the rest of the people will all drive in the direction of Qinghe overnight." ”
Already knowing that this was the meaning of the colt, Duoduo did not refute, but only asked, "Then who will come to the palace?"
Lu Shixing said expressionlessly: "The horse personally leads the army. ”
Duoduo was shocked and said angrily: "Ridiculous! You let the commander of the first army personally cut off the queen?!"
Lu Shixing looked at him calmly and said, "This is also the meaning of the horse." ”
Duoduo's face changed.
Lu Shixing waved his hand and said, "Deputy Commander Duoduo, carry out the military order." ”
After being silent for a long time, Duoduo finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "No!"
Xiao Yu finally broke through the formation and left the place, ready to fall into battle in person.
Xiao Yu exhaled lightly, "Frost Fighting Heavens." ”
Under the cover of night, the steppe cavalry, which had been fighting for a day, began to retreat slowly, and there were 20,000 people left behind to take charge of the palace. The 10,000-strong team that was originally full of resentment all had no complaints after seeing the main general in charge of the palace.
These steppe cavalry are veterans, and it would be a lie to say that they are not afraid of death, and they said that they were willing to die for Xiao Yu, but they didn't believe it, a person from the Central Plains, why should they let them fight to the death? Besides, the mother-in-law and children in the family are dead, who will take care of them?
In the face of Xu Lin's army of 230,000, what is the difference between going to the palace and sending him to death? No one is stupid, and who is willing to go to death for no reason? It's just that since they have turned over and become a grassland cavalryman, they have long had the consciousness of dying on the battlefield, and as long as they dare to take the lead, then they will dare to rush and dare to die.
Now that Xiao Yu, who is not the king of the Khan, can personally lead the army to the palace, what else would they not dare?
Grassland light horse, plundering the world, speaking of which is already an old thing, since the later construction of the Tiefu Tu Fu Tu broke through the last great Khan of the steppe Tuzhne Khan's personal guard, the combat power of the grassland has been slumped, until Lin Yuan succeeded to the throne, it can be regarded as a little better. It's a pity that the red lady fought with Xiao Yu, and the belongings that Lin Yuan had accumulated over the years were fought again.
Although Xiao Yu said that he had cobbled together 80,000 Khan king's guards from the hands of various Taiji, how could these 80,000 Khan's guards be compared to Lin Yuan's personal ** Khan king's guards?
These two 10,000 troops are the few remaining guards of the Khan King in the Lin Yuan era. It can also be said to be the most elite force in Xiao Yu's hands.
Xiao Yu will personally lead the 20,000 Khan's personal guards to face Xu Lin's 230,000 army.
Among the five major governors, although Xu Lin was known as having only the force under Xiao Lie, he was not a general who liked to charge into battle in person, and his caution was almost pathological. But no one dared to deny Xu Lin's own martial arts cultivation. After all, there is no shortcut to the martial arts preaching, you can only preach the Tao with strength, and climb up step by step.
Such a pure martial artist does not have the demons that the masters of the Demon Sect often have, nor does he need to behead three corpses like the masters of the Daomen, and the masters of the Buddhism Sect are reincarnated in the ninth life.
Xiao Yu learned from the strengths of the five schools, Taoism, Buddhism, Demons, Confucianism, and Witchcraft, but there was only one martial arts missing.
Theoretically speaking, Xiao Yu takes the strengths of the five families, but the blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and at the same time, he also takes the shortcomings of the five families, which is far less pure than Xu Lin.
Xiao Yu's face was solemn, and he slammed the broken array in his hand in front of him.
The trembling sound of the sword resounded in the night sky.
Xu Lin had already discovered the movement of the grassland army. Beside him stood a bruised Min Xing.
Xu Lin smiled coldly and said: "If you want to fight, you can fight, if you want to leave, you can't treat me Xu Lin as a mud bodhisattva without fire?"
Min Xing was puzzled: "What does Xiao Yu want to do? First, he pounced on the melee, and now he wants to retreat, and at this time, as long as we pursue, it will be a situation where the whole army will retreat." ”
Xu Lin frowned slightly and said, "A plan to lure the enemy?"
At this time, Xu Lin also sensed the majestic sword intent that rose to the sky, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Then this bait is too big." ”
