Chapter XVIII: The Great War 1
"Yu Dashuai, the vanguard of the rebel Wang Xiushi in the state has broken through the Huaiqing Mansion and is coming to my Bishui Pass!"
Leopard Taowei General Yue Yun clasped his hands into fists and said to Xie Xuanyu.
Xie Xuan led the main force of the leopard Taowei from the Shendu to the Bishui Pass day and night, just to block the main force of the rebels outside the Bishui Pass.
"Who is the striker? How many soldiers and horses are there? ”
Xie Xuan's face remained unchanged, and he asked lightly.
"According to the scout's report, the vanguard is a general under the command of King Jin, and the commander of the ghost-faced cavalry army, Anaro, with about 8,000 cavalry under his command."
Yue Yun heard Xie Xuan's question, and hurriedly said respectfully.
"Order, order Niu Gao to lead the Xiaoguo army to battle and annihilate all the incoming troops!"
Xie Xuan bowed slightly, and issued an order in a deep voice, the Xiaoguo Army is a heavy cavalry, composed of the most elite cavalry of the original Yuejia Army, with a full strength of 6,000 people, and Niu Gao is temporarily in command.
Although the enemy is the world's most famous ghost-faced cavalry, Xie Xuan is not worried at all, the ghost-faced cavalry is only light cavalry in the elite, how can it be compared with the Xiaoguo army with heavy armor.
"No!" After Yue Yun clasped his fists and saluted when he heard this, he turned around and strode away.
At the same time, on the wide official road in front of the Bishui Pass.
Eight thousand cavalrymen wearing ghost masks and black leather armor were urging their horses to slowly move towards Bishui Pass.
"General, the scouts ahead are here!
"Say that the front is the water close!"
"Oh, it's time for the water?"
Hearing the scout's report, Anaro, dressed in brown iron armor, had a relieved look on his face.
Just then another general came on horseback, and when he arrived at Anaro's side, he reported loudly:
"Report! General, the scouts in front have reported that a cavalry of about 6,000 men is coming towards us. ”
Anaro frowned, where did the cavalry come from? Could it be that reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived?
As soon as Anaro's right hand was raised, the advancing cavalry immediately reined in their horses.
"Line up! Meet the enemy! "Anaro was cautious, and this was the secret of his victory, although he himself did not want to believe that there were any elite cavalry in the court who could fight him.
A moment passes
Suddenly, there was a neighing sound of war horses in front of me, and I saw thousands of heavily armored cavalry in armor in the distance, slowly coming, and the iron armor exuded a cold luster under the reflection of the sun, which made people tremble.
Thundered! Anarodo didn't think about it at all, only to see the cavalry not far away running slowly, after a short increase in speed, thousands of heavy cavalry began to charge fiercely, the sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground was like an earthquake, and even the void shook slightly, like a mountain, pushed sideways.
Burst! Burst! Burst!
The heavy cavalry slammed into the Ghost Mask Array, and the long lance in their hands directly pierced the chest of the Ghost Rider in front, and the huge impact force lifted the Ghost Mask Cavalry into the air, and slammed into the body of the cavalry behind.
Niu Gao turned around and saw that the ghost face rider in front of him had become a little sparse and pulled up, just now a charge, the Xiaoguo army reimbursed at least one-third of the ghost face horse's strength, Niu Gao sneered when he saw this, waved the horse lance in his hand, and launched a second charge.
At this time, the ghost rider commander Anaro's face was pale, and his hand holding the scimitar was trembling slightly, it was really terrifying, these Great Zhou cavalry were not people at all, but monsters in iron armor.
The scimitars used by their ghost-faced riders slashed at these cavalrymen, and they didn't even leave a mark except for splashing sparks, and what about their ghost-faced riders? But like paper paste, he was picked off his horse by these court cavalry one by one.
Seeing the court cavalry rushing over again, Anaro was frightened and shouted loudly:
"Quick! Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”
The rest of the ghost-faced riders heard Anaro's shout, and hurriedly grabbed the riding bow hanging on their horses, and shot at the heavy horsemen in a hurry.
Bite! Bite! Bite!
The dense rain of arrows shot on the armor of the Xiaoguo Army, except for a crisp clanging sound, it had no effect at all.
Burst! Burst__
Thousands of heavy cavalry once again collided head-on with the ghost-faced horsemen, and Anaro was in despair.
On the other side, Niu Gao also rushed to Anaro, and the horse lance in his hand stabbed at Anaro's face.
Boom!
The half-moon-shaped saber was pulled out of Anaro's waist suddenly, slashed out like lightning, and collided with Niu Gao's long lance, but the huge impact directly knocked the scimitar in Anaro's hand away.
"Die!" I saw Niu Gao shouting, the horse lance split out, and Alona couldn't dodge and was cut off by Niu Gao's head.
As soon as Anaro died, the Ghostface Rider was even more warless, and was soon surrounded by the Xiaoguo Heavy Cavalry and strangled out
"General, in this battle, our side killed seventeen people, seriously wounded ten people, and slightly injured fifty-two!"
"Annihilate 8,000 ghost riders!"
After the battlefield was cleaned up, a Xiaoguo Lieutenant rode his horse to Niu Gao and reported to him.
"Bury the fallen soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army on the spot!"
Niu Gao's face was as usual, and he commanded Captain Xiaoguo in a deep voice.
"No!"
Captain Xiaoguo clenched his fists and turned to leave.
"Withdraw your troops! Back to the water! ”
After everything was cleaned up, Niu Gao ordered the whole army to retreat.
……
And the state army camp!
Wang Xiushi, who was dressed in military uniform, sat on the main seat with a gloomy face.
In the battle of Bishui Pass, the most elite ghost-faced cavalry in Bingzhou was wiped out, and it is said that when the news was transmitted back to Jinyang, Ma Lin, the king of Jin, fainted on the spot.
The annihilation of the Ghost Mask Cavalry was undoubtedly a very serious blow to the morale of the Bingzhou Army.
In fact, Wang Xiushi also considered these things before, and then chose Anaro, who was known for his caution, to lead the troops, but he didn't expect that this Anaro and the ghost-faced cavalry he led would be wiped out, which caught him off guard for a while.
In order to boost the morale of the army, in order not to disappoint the King of Jin, now he can only take Bishui Pass, Wang Xiushi gritted his teeth and thought that since the determination has been made, Wang Xiushi immediately ordered the army to assemble and send troops to Bishui Pass.
Yuzhou Bishui Pass!
Wang Xiushi's main force was not far from Bishui Pass, so it only took one day for him to lead the army to Bishui Pass.
"Dashuai, according to the rough estimate of his subordinates! There should be no less than 100,000 rebels in the state! ”
On the wall of Bishui Pass, Xie Xuan, who was dressed in military uniform, stood quietly on the edge of the battlement, and Yue Yun next to him said to him.
"Order the Leopard Taowei army to get out of the city immediately!"
"Ben Shuai, we must severely damage the Bingzhou army led by Wang Xiushi in front of Bishui Pass, and the battle will be decided!" Xie Xuan looked at the enemy troops who stretched for miles outside the pass and said in a solemn voice.
He took the initiative to give up the city defense of Bishui Pass and chose to go out of the city to face the battle, not because he was arrogant, but because the elites of the hundred battles under his command who came out of the bloody mountain and fire sea slaughter made him extremely confident.
In the face of absolute strength, he didn't care about using any conspiracy at all, he wanted to wipe out the enemy army outside the pass in one fell swoop, and tell those careerists with a panicked victory that the Great Zhou court was not something anyone could handle, especially the Liao State.
"No!"
After Yue Yun answered in a deep voice, he turned and strode away.
"After this battle, the state can be decided!"
Xie Xuan put his hands behind his back, and his gaze was extremely far-reaching.
"Tread, tread, stride!"
With the sound of neat footsteps, tens of thousands of cold-faced Leopard Taowei soldiers slowly walked out of the city gate of Bishui Pass.
"Isn't the general sent by this imperial court crazy with a broken heart?"
Wang Xiushi's face was full of consternation, he really didn't understand, why did Xie Xuan give up the city defense, and instead go out of the city to find his own way and attack his camp?
Xie Xuan led the army out of the city and lined up, he didn't think about what to say at all, Xie Xuan, who was riding on a horse, looked at the dense enemy troops opposite, and waved his sword and pointed expressionlessly.
"Yue Yun and Niu Gao listen to the order, and the two of you will lead the heavy cavalry to take the rebel army directly!"
"Whoa!"
Yue Yun and Niu Gao heard Xie Xuan's military order, and after holding their fists and receiving the order, they took the lead, leading the Xiaoguo army and the control crane army to rush towards the Bingzhou army formation, and the charge of tens of thousands of heavy armored cavalry was like a dark cloud, the roaring sound of horses' hooves, and the pressure like a mountain made the soldiers of the Bingzhou army change color, and the hands holding the weapons were uncontrollably trembling, and many soldiers were so frightened that even the weapons fell to the ground.
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Wang Xiushi's face was also pale, and the hand holding the knife was bulging, and he shouted loudly.
The generals of the state army heard Wang Xiushi's loud shouts, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers under his command to release arrows, only to listen to "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! The sound of arrows rang out, and pieces of arrows flew towards Yue Yun and them.
Bite! Bite! Bite!
The dense rain of arrows shot on the armor of the imperial cavalry, but there was only a crisp sound, and it was bounced away, and it could not break through the cavalry's defenses at all.
In a short time, the heavy cavalry cut through the line of the infantry of the state army, and then reined in their horses and began a second charge.
At this time, Xie Xuansuo led the main force of Leopard Taowei also rushed into the rebel formation, the sergeants of Leopard Taowei were in a group of five, like a small knife to strangle the rebels of the state, the knife up and down is flesh and blood, and the soldiers of the state are also rare elite soldiers in the world to fight bravely, but compared with the heavy armor of the leopard Taowei sergeant, they can't get any advantage at all, and it didn't take long for the state army to disperse under the killing of the leopard Taowei sergeant, scrambling to flee for their lives.
I saw that the entire battlefield was full of leopard guards chasing and killing the rebels, and the sound of slashing and killing! Screams! Begging for mercy! The war horse neighed and screamed!
What does it mean to be defeated for thousands of miles, what is it to be defeated like a mountain, Wang Xiushi finally realized that he used to lead the army to kill others like this, and today it is finally his turn.
Looking at the soldiers and generals around him who were rushing to flee for their lives,
Hehehe, Wang Xiushi smiled bitterly and looked at the court officers and soldiers who gradually surrounded him, "Lord Wang! The last general can only repay your kindness in the next life" After speaking, the treasure knife in his hand wiped on his neck and fell under the handsome flag.
"Handsome! Handsome! The soldiers on guard beside Wang Xiushi shouted frantically and knelt next to Wang Xiushi. They killed themselves.
