Chapter Seventy-Three: A Divine Soldier Descends from Heaven
Time passed little by little in the scorching, and the afterglow of the setting sun faded little by little, and the four thousand cavalry of the Tang Army moved quickly and shuttled through the dense forest quickly. The cold wind was whistling in his ears, rustling in the forest, and while Li Yuan was galloping wildly, his heart was beating rapidly with the sound of horses' hooves, and he only hoped that before he arrived, Liu Renzhan would have to hold on.
As the terrain gradually opened up, Li Yuan's vision became clearer. Less than two miles ahead, there was already gunsmoke, and it was obviously where the camp of Liu Renzhan's department was located. I saw that the fences of the four camp gates had been destroyed, and the soldiers on both sides who were fighting were difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the enemy cavalry shuttled in formations, like the black pressure of the ants, the scalp was numb, the knives and guns were all over the ground, the arrows were flying in the air, and the stumps piled up everywhere were hideous and terrifying, and the ground that was dyed dark red was almost suffocating against the backdrop of the sunset.
In the camp, Liu Renzhan's big picture was faintly visible, and countless soldiers were clustered around a slightly rickety figure, gradually shrinking towards the already broken handsome flag.
"Array!" Li Yuan immediately raised his spear and gave the order, and the soldiers immediately reined in their horses, and then the tight formation fanned out on the plain, and at the front of the team, dozens of Tang Army battle flags were instantly raised high.
"All the soldiers obeyed the order and rushed to kill the rebels with their commander! Only enter! No refund! ”
Li Yuan shouted, then leaned forward sharply, and the spear in his hand drew a shining arc in the twilight. The soldiers beside him immediately blew three horns in high spirits, and then countless war horses neighed, and the four thousand cavalry immediately rode their horses and followed Li Yuan to roar away!
At this time, most of the rebels had entered the camp for fierce fighting, and the outermost part of the south was guarded by a cavalry under the banner of the Baoxin Army. At this time, the general of the other party had heard the rumbling of hooves behind him, turned his horse's head and looked shocked, and hurriedly ordered to adjust the battle formation.
Seeing that the enemy cavalry was changing their formation in a hurry, and hundreds of horsemen had already charged over scattered under the leadership of that general, Li Yuan did not slow down at all, but led the soldiers behind him to meet him directly, intending to make a hard charge.
In just a few dozen breaths, like two staggered bolts of lightning, the cavalry on both sides collided violently without any suspense! Suddenly there was a dull sound of flesh and blood, horse head to horse head, armor to armor, some cavalry had been thrown out directly because of inertia, and then fell heavily on the cold and hard ground, flesh and bones shattered, blood mist bloomed, terrible screams and screams continued to sound, followed by a desperate fight in pairs!
Li Yuan led several partial generals to rush to the front, and showed no mercy in the face of the oncoming enemy cavalry, leaning forward before he could see his face, and his right arm suddenly stretched out the spear in his hand far away. Immediately after breaking into the enemy formation, Li Yuan leaned over and hugged the horse's head and wrist tightened and flipped down, and the spear continuously cut dozens of galloping horses' hooves, and suddenly the people turned on their backs, and the enemy's formation was then chaotic, and his face was frightened in a panic, and he subconsciously began to retreat.
After calmly fighting against the enemy and breaking out of the chaotic army, Li Yuan gasped heavily, and said luckily in his heart, he had to learn a little bit ......of ebony special service, otherwise he would definitely die here today.
"Be careful!" Just as a cold arrow suddenly whistled past his ear. Li Yuan hurriedly subconsciously turned his head to dodge, and the arrow slashed straight through his shoulder, instantly oozing red blood.
Several generals hurried to Li Yuan's side to protect them, and shouted eagerly: "Handsome! ”
"Ben Shuai is safe and sound! The enemy's formation has been disorganized, and the whole army is rushing straight to the camp! Li Yuan tightened the reins and continued to gallop, and the Tang soldiers behind him saw that the commander was so energetic, and when they were greatly encouraged, they all rode their horses to follow, killing the fleeing enemy cavalry all the way, and thousands of elite cavalry were like sharp knives, and they were inserted into the hearts of the rebels.
......
The dozens of Tang army flags fluttering in the wind in front of him were getting closer and closer, and when they saw the roaring cavalry, Liu Renzhan and the Tang soldiers beside him instantly lifted their spirits, shouting "Reinforcements have arrived", and continued to slash and kill the rebel soldiers around them, and fought and retreated, moving closer to the direction of reinforcements as much as possible.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Liu Renzhan heard the soldiers beside him shouting excitedly, looked up and saw that the tears were about to come out, accompanied by the surging earth-shattering shouts of killing, these Tang cavalry who came to the rescue had been like a wind and clouds, instantly crushing the rebel soldiers in front of them.
Everyone searched intently, but they didn't find the figure of Liu Chongji that they were thinking about. And the general who rushed to the forefront of the reinforcements quickly attracted everyone's attention again, looking young and very young, a very conspicuous unicorn golden armor shining in the twilight, but making a good marksmanship, especially brave. Swinging up and down, like dancing pear blossoms, the rebels swept through the array, only to see a flash of cold light, and a piece of corpse had fallen.
At this moment, the rebel soldiers were tired from the battle, and they were even more defenseless against these sudden Tang cavalry, and they were soon killed and retreated, and the situation seemed to be secretly reversed.
The two sides were still in the midst of a bloody battle, and the gold-armored general had unconsciously come to Liu Renzhan's side, only to see that his hair was already messy, and at this time, he didn't care about wiping the blood stains on his face, and asked eagerly: "The old general is Liu Renzhan Liu Dashuai?" ”
Liu Renzhan nodded hurriedly and responded happily: "Exactly!" Dare to ask the general who is? ”
The golden-armored general immediately showed a relieved expression, and said with a smile: "Wuping Jiedu envoy Li Yuan." ”
......
Seeing that the sergeant under his command was suddenly repelled by this force of Tang cavalry that came from nowhere, Li Jinquan, whose face was pale, was already full of anger, and his heart was frightened and afraid, and after wielding his sword and wantonly killing more than a dozen retreating soldiers, he still couldn't stop the signs of defeat and retreat, and couldn't help yelling angrily: "Don't retreat!" The Tang army has thousands of reinforcements, what are you afraid of him?! No refund! Retreat slash! ”
Ming Hanrong said nervously: "Marshal, although these Tang troops are not many in number, they are extremely brave and brave in formation, they don't look like ordinary state soldiers!" Could it be that the Northern Expeditionary Army has returned to the division? How did it come so quickly? ”
At this time, Li Yuan had joined forces with Liu Renzhan and was leading the soldiers in a bloody battle, but he had suffered a lot of minor injuries everywhere on his body, and he was obviously a little exhausted.
Until he saw that the rebels had gradually retreated to the edge of the camp, it was obvious that the army was in turmoil, and the time had come, Li Yuan reluctantly straightened his waist, raised his spear, and rode his horse and shouted: "Listen, this commander is Li Yuan, the envoy of the Tang Wuping Festival, and he is ordered by His Majesty to lead the army to exterminate the traitors!" Your Majesty has a will, only Li Jinquan will be punished alone! You are all my people of the Tang Dynasty, if you put down your blades now, this commander guarantees that your lives are safe! If you dare to resist, you will not be forgiven! ”
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the rebel soldiers looked at each other. For them, the name Li Yuan has long been like thunder, and coupled with the performance of Li Yuan, the deterrent power can be seen. And the right wing of the Weisheng Army is still loyal to Li Jinquan, hearing this, his expression froze for a moment and slowly retreated a few steps, but he still clenched the blade in his hand, but the soldiers of the Qinghuai Army were different, these were the Jianghuai children who were forced to rebel, and they witnessed Li Jinquan's atrocities again, and they were already dissatisfied in their hearts, so they immediately put down their blades with relief at this time, and knelt down towards Li Yuan.
"Li Yuan!" Hearing this familiar name, Li Jinquan spat viciously, and cursed secretly in his heart, it is you, a hairy boy who is not afraid of death, who replaced my position as the commander of the Weisheng Army, and still wants to take away my soldiers and horses for the emperor of the Tang Kingdom? Now that I have sent it to the door, I see that Lao Tzu will not chop it into meat sauce for you!
Seeing that the soldiers of the Qinghuai Army had given up resistance, Li Jinquan was hit hard, but he still raised his hand regardless of it, ready to order to continue the attack, and Ming Hanrong, a staff member beside him, hurriedly stopped it and said in a panic: "Think twice!" This Li Yuan can be called a fierce general, and now he is famous in the Tang Kingdom! At this time, Li Jing ordered him to lead the army to the rescue, how could the dignified Wuping Jiedu envoy only bring a few thousand soldiers and horses? Presumably, the army of the Tang State is about to arrive, and at this time, the army is in turmoil, and the Qinghuai army has been lost, so it is better to retreat to Shouzhou City for the time being and make plans......"
"Why is Han Rong afraid of the enemy! In any case, Ben Shuai must let this Li Yuan be buried here first! ”
At this moment, dozens of scouts rushed from the north, and kept shouting about the urgent military situation, and then Ming Hanrong showed a look of sudden realization, and shouted at Li Jinquan: "It's not good, Shouzhou City!" ”
