Chapter 176: Chess Meets Opponents
Two armies that are equally tenacious and good at fighting, and two commanders who are equally fond of tricks, walk towards each other in the vast night, getting closer and closer.
It wasn't until the pioneers of the two sides collided together that they suddenly realized: Oh my God!
The third watch went to attack the enemy in the middle of the night, and his heart was not very steady, and suddenly he encountered a large number of people coming out of the black light on the opposite side, and the vanguard troops on both sides thought of it: Lie in the groove, in the ambush!
Like two wild cats that had blown up their hair, the soldiers and horses of the two sides did not say a word, and immediately fought together, fighting and screaming at the same time, so as to give a warning to their main forces.
Immediately afterward, the commanders on both sides were shocked at the same time.
Li Jiangyao and Yun Qianxue realized that the situation was not good, and immediately issued almost identical orders: the entire army quickly deployed on the spot, occupied the favorable terrain around it, and launched a rush attack on the other side to disrupt them!
Without the help of any lighting conditions, the soldiers and horses of the Zhenjiang Army and the Turkic Army directly touched the darkness, and at the same time began similar combat actions.
The Zhenjiang side is familiar with the terrain and topography here, while the Turkic blood guards are good at night battles, and the soldiers on both sides will soon be in a group in the east and west, staggered with dogs and teeth, and fighting in a melee.
All of a sudden, the wide area between Metasequoia City and the Turkic camp was completely plunged into inexplicable chaos!
"Alas, alas, don't fight, your own people!"
"We thought it was a Turkic ghost, sorry...... Quick, over there, there's a fight over there! ”
"Umrunch, Kasni?"
"Damn, what's the Sni? It's the Turks, him! ”
"Ga thought! Ga Thought! Tang Manzi is here, kill them all! ”
Thousands of troops and horses rushed around in the dark, and they couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, as long as there was a place where there were people, they would run over and hammer them first.
Li Jiangyao was the first to react from the chaotic situation: This is not an ambush war, this is a encounter! The sneak attack was not detected by the Turks, but the two sides just happened to collide together!
He couldn't find Xu Youchang and Du Jian at this time, so he had to order the captain of the guard, Lu Yao: "Hurry up and let the brothers shout, our soldiers and horses will follow me and follow my torches!" ”
With that, he drew the torches that he was going to burn for the camp, struck them with his scythe, drew the oil cloth, and then raised them high above his head and ran towards the Turkic camp in the distance.
Lu Yao led the guards to surround him tightly, and while also lighting up the torches, he shouted at the top of his voice to assemble.
Although lighting torches in the dark can easily become a target for the enemy's attack, it has now become a melee, and which side can be the first to successfully gather together, and which side can form an organized joint force and regain the initiative.
Li Jiangyao's method of taking the risk of gathering troops was indeed very effective. More and more soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army quickly gathered beside Li Jiangyao with the sound of greetings and rushed towards the enemy camp.
At this moment, Yun Qianxue, who was not far away, had also reacted and sensed the strangeness of the melee. He also had the idea of gathering his troops, but before he could pass the order, he suddenly noticed a torch passing in front of him, speeding in the direction behind him.
Yun Qianxue was shocked: The other party is going to rob the camp?!
He suddenly felt a little incomprehensible: the two sides had already encountered unexpectedly, and a scuffle had broken out, why did Li Jiangyao and the others insist on attacking the Turkic camp? To be honest, there was nothing in the camp at this time that had strategic value and needed to be deliberately guarded. Except for the continuous military tents and some grain and grass baggage, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers left behind.
Therefore, even if the Zhenjiang Army can succeed, it will not hinder the overall situation of the battle.
But thinking about it the other way, Yun Qianxue suddenly understood a little.
The location of the camp is a symbol of the morale of the army, which cannot be shaken in the slightest, and for soldiers, glory and morale are often more important than lives, for example, in many cases, the military flag on the battlefield has a similar symbolic meaning. If you can plant the flag on the enemy's position, or snatch the opponent's flag, it is worth it, even if it costs a lot.
Therefore, there are often such scenes on the battlefield: for the sake of a broken flag, the two warring sides fight each other and fight repeatedly, sometimes a soldier has several arrows in his body, but still has to use his body to resist the flagpole, never let the battle flag fall.
Such a scene usually arouses the fighting spirit of countless hot-blooded men, and even changes the direction of the battle in an instant.
On the contrary, if one side's flag is taken away or the general is killed, the morale of the whole army may collapse immediately, creating a bad situation that is irreparable.
And the battalion is of course more critical than the military flag. If the battalion is captured or destroyed by the enemy, it will be a great shame for the Turkic blood guards! Li Jiangyao saw this point precisely because he was so frustrated, desperately fighting for the risk of being cut off from the back road, but also to gain the upper hand in terms of morale!
As a battle-hardened celebrity, how could Yun Qianxue give the other party such an opportunity in vain?
What to cut off the back road, I can't take care of it at all at the moment, first chase to the front and stop the Zhenjiang army! No matter what, they must not be allowed to ruin their camp!
Yun Qianxue shouted angrily, led all the soldiers around him to gallop wildly, staring at the torch and rushing straight over.
People on both sides are constantly speeding up, running faster and faster. The Turkic horsemanship was exquisite, and in a moment, he blocked Li Jiangyao's way diagonally.
Yun Qianxue's eyes were sharp, and she first found Li Jiangyao's figure, and secretly applauded in her heart! At the same time, his legs clamped the horse's belly fiercely, accelerated to get close in an instant, and stabbed at the opponent.
Li Jiangyao's reaction was also extremely fast, his body shook lightly, he dodged the spear in time, and took advantage of the opportunity of the two horses approaching to slash out with a backhand.
Yun Qianxue hurriedly changed her moves, crossed the spear, and only heard a crisp sound of "dang", and the knives and guns collided together, shaking both of them to their arms at the same time.
Li Jiangyao studied under the great commander He Jingming, while Yun Qianxue was a proud disciple of the Turkic martial saint Biluo, and their martial arts were almost equal and indistinguishable.
The two of them fought hard and strangled the war horse at the same time. Li Jiangyao clenched the Xingluo knife, jumped up directly from the saddle, and pounced on the other party in the air, Yun Qianxue didn't dare to be careless when she saw this, and she also flew off the horse's back and raised her gun to meet him.
The sound of weapons clashing sounded again and again, Li Jiangyao cast an instantaneous pupil, the Xingluo knife became faster and faster, and more than a dozen knives were cut in the air, who expected that Yun Qianxue would not fall into the wind at all, and the fire cloud gun in his hand was full of energy, completely blocking the attack of the Xingluo knife.
In the blink of an eye, the two fell back to the ground. As soon as Li Jiangyao's feet touched the ground, he immediately dodged close to Yun Qianxue, and his moves were all life-fighting methods. The fire cloud spear made by Yun Qianxue was forged from high-grade iron, one zhang and three inches long, and weighed sixty-eight catties, which was a sharp weapon for cavalry combat on the battlefield. However, at this time, he and Li Jiangyao had a fierce confrontation on the ground, and a heavy weapon like the Fire Cloud Gun suddenly looked very clumsy, and it couldn't be compared to the Starfall Knife, which was good at hand-to-hand combat.
Yun Qianxue was powerful and difficult to use, and was soon beaten by Li Jiangyao, coupled with the extremely fast speed of the Xingluo knife technique, and the angle was very tricky, Yun Qianxue couldn't help but stumble left and right, and retreated again and again.
Despite this, Yun Qianxue was not in a hurry in her heart. He knew that although Li Jiangyao was strong in martial arts, he was not much stronger than himself, and it was only because he had the advantage of weapons that he suppressed him everywhere.
So, Yun Qianxue's body shook, quickly retreated a few steps, and then threw the spear at Li Jiangyao, taking advantage of the opportunity of the other party to block the flying spear, he picked up his toes and copied a scimitar on the ground in his hand.
Li Jiangyao swung his knife and slammed the fire cloud spear that flew towards him, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Yun Qianxue had already raised the knife in his hand, and he couldn't help but secretly praise the other party for doing things simply. That spear has a simple shape and tough texture, and it must be a divine weapon that Yun Qianxue is used to, at this time he said that he would throw it away, and replaced it with an ordinary blade that is convenient for close combat, without the slightest hesitation.
At least, he, Li Jiangyao, couldn't do this, and he could casually throw away the Starfall Knife.
Yun Qianxue, who had changed her weapon, changed her previous disadvantage, took the initiative to swing her knife to attack, and confronted Li Jiangyao. Not only is he good at spearing, but he also uses extremely exquisite knives, especially this kind of Turkic scimitar, which is very different from the long knives and ring-headed knives of the Shengtang army, many unimaginable angles and strengths, which can be easily done for scimitars, and the knife skills are even more tricky.
Li Jiang was fast, Yun Qianxue was skillful, and the two fought for more than 40 rounds in succession, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. Li Jiangyao pondered while fighting: It is not a way to fight all the time, and if it drags on like this, once the Turkic blood guards form a joint force, it will be difficult to shake it.
Thinking of this, he grabbed Yun Qianxue Ling a few times one after another, and then deliberately tripped over the corpse next to him, revealing a stumbling flaw. Yun Qianxue saw the opportunity and hurriedly jumped up to take Li Jiangyao's vital point.
Unexpectedly, Li Jiangyao was trying to trick him into stepping forward. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party used a killer move and had no strength left to defend for the time being, Li Jiangyao condensed his whole body strength, and the starfall knife suddenly swung out.
Prancing Horse Milky Way, meteors flying.
Li Jiangyao is fast and fast, just to gamble with Yun Qianxue in terms of speed to see who can hit the other party first.
Suddenly, Yun Qianxue only felt a dazzling light flash in front of her eyes, and it was too late to change her moves. Although Li Jiangyao was one step late, he was the last to come first, and it was terrifyingly fast! Yun Qianxue's forehead was cold, and she was suddenly shocked in her heart, and hurriedly struggled to fall back, narrowly avoiding the doom of being craniotomy.
Rao was like this, he was still not lightly injured, from the forehead above the right eyebrow to the left cheek, the blade of the Starfall Knife cut a large hole obliquely, almost even the eyes were directly destroyed.
Yun Qianxue let out a heart-rending roar, her face was covered with blood, and she retreated again and again, Li Jiangyao wanted to catch up with him, but unfortunately several Turkic blood guards around rushed over desperately and desperately protected Yun Qianxue.
Although Li Jiangyao was a little unwilling, his internal strength was very depleted at this time, and he was powerless to continue to chase and kill the other party, so he had to beckon his subordinates and retreat with him temporarily.
