Chapter 122: The First Battle
It is impossible for the Colliers Janissaries to stop at the Tiger Prison.
After resting for a day and a night, he was impatient to take the mountain.
The axe-wielding armor soldier was in front, and the spear, sword and shield were behind, and before the fight began, the ghosts and wolves all over the mountains and fields howled, and the momentum was raised.
Liang Li attacked the city all the way, and there was not much ingenuity, all of them were frontal onslaughts.
With the ferocity of the Colliers Praetorian Guard, as well as the blessing of the will to revenge, they are invincible all the way, and there are indeed not many armies in the world that can fight head-on.
Today, however, something is different.
A thousand cavalry awaited them at the foot of the mountain, with thousands of horses behind them.
Hundreds of blood-red flags were unfurled in the cold wind.
As the first general, with a halberd in his left hand, a two-edged spear in his right hand, black armor as hideous as a beast, and a tall blood-red war horse in his crotch, facing the thousands of troops and horses of the Gaoli Guard.
This horse is called Zhu Long, it is said that the battle of Xin'an on the same day, Shi Min was besieged, he could not get out of the battle to the death, all the guards around him were killed, when he was critical, he saw a member of the horse riding a horse, killed and grabbed it, and then stood out of the encirclement, Shi Min personally named "Zhu Long"!
There were more than a thousand cavalry behind him, all of them on two horses, looking at the Gao Li guards rolling down, without the slightest fear in their eyes.
Li Yue led 6,000 cavalry to follow him, and the Yellow River in the north was mighty, and the war drums on both sides had already roared, slowly merging in the same rhythm.
The wind swept through the cold, but it stimulated the blood in the chest.
The exorcism of the slaves begins today.
There were at least 40,000 Qiang in the rebels.
Killing one more person is avenging the souls of the dead in this land, and it is washing away the shame of fifty years since the Yongjia Rebellion!
Looking back at the footsteps behind him, all of them were also full of fighting spirit.
The blood-red banner waved violently in the wind, as if burning, and the fiery hatred seemed to burst out of their eyes.
In the camp behind, countless pairs of eyes are watching the battle.
Li Nong propped up his tired body and looked at the west, "Shizhao, can you win this battle?" ”
Chang Wei said: "This battle will be won!" ”
"Oh? Why are you impressed with the two? Li Nong has suffered heavy defeats one after another, and he has no self-confidence.
"Does Sikong remember the defeat of Thorn City? His Majesty's hundreds of thousands of troops met Murong Ke, fled in despair, and killed more than 30,000 troops, all of which were crushed into an army, but only the whole army of the Hou Dynasty was returned! ”
How could Li Nong forget this battle?
The defeat of Thorn City was a turning point in the rise and fall of the Zhao Dynasty, and the luck of the Liang people was also dispersed in this battle.
Seeing that Li Nong's face was wrong, Chang Wei arched his hand and said: "Wei lost his words, and I hope that Sikong will forgive his sins." ”
Li Nong said: "Not guilty, continue." ”
"The prosperity must decline, the thief army attacked for thousands of miles, broke Chang'an, trapped Luoyang, the veteran soldiers of the division were tired, and they had become the end of the strong crossbow, and the Hou of Xiucheng was brave and invincible, and his spirit was unparalleled, and the leader of Li was a good general for a while, and there will be good news to be sent back."
"If one is a good general, then what is the other?" Li Nong's eyes flickered.
has mediocre ability on the battlefield, but has been in a high position for so many years, and has a keen sense of smell for power struggles.
Chang Wei said meaningfully: "What it is, it depends on Sikong." ”
Li Nong was silent, he could naturally understand the meaning behind these words.
Shi Min approached the beggar army like this, and his intentions were self-evident......
On the battlefield, the Colliers Janissaries had poured down like a tide, flying sand and rocks, slowly gathering on the plain.
Shi Min remained motionless, and wisps of flying sand rolled up under the horse's hooves and scattered.
The cold wind roared, and the clouds flowed southeast with the Yellow River, obscuring the sun, slightly drowsy, and the aura of slaughter filled the heavens and the earth.
The thief army gathered nearly 10,000 people on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, disdainful of Shi Min and Li Yue, who were waiting in formation, carrying a big axe, roaring towards the east, like a wild beast.
After the roar, dozens of arrows pierced the dreary sky.
Fell under the hooves of Shi Min's horse in front of the battle.
And at this time, Shi Min glanced back behind him, his gaze passed through the soldiers, and fell on Li Yue.
It is also strange to say that from a distance of four or five hundred steps, Li Yue can't see clearly at all, but he can feel the deep meaning behind this gaze.
A dead branch was swept up by the wind at some point and slowly fell between the two armies.
The war drums on both sides were stirring up at the same time.
"Kill back to Yedu!" The opposite side roared twice, and then ran wildly, no array, no banners, only a few thousand big axes and thousands of spears, "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
It was as if thousands of beasts had broken free from their cages, and the sound was terrifying.
However, Shi Min's 1,000 horsemen were unusually silent until Shi Min raised his double-edged spear and swung forward, and more than 8,000 horse hooves slowly smashed into the ground like raindrops.
Looking from behind, it was as if a black spear had pierced directly......
Shock, constant impact.
Double-edged spears and halberds stabbed out one after another, sending waves of blood as the corpses of the enemy shattered under the horses' hooves and spears.
A thousand cavalry just crashed into the enemy army without any fancy.
No, Li Yue felt that there were not a thousand cavalry on the battlefield, only one person!
and the thousand became one.
He wandered wantonly among the axes and spears, charging and killing at will, stepping out of thousands of troops and horses.
The severed limbs and heads flew up under his spear, and the blood rushed backwards into the sky, scattered by the wind, and sprinkled among the crowd as if it were raining blood.
The Colliers Janissaries were known for their ferocity and fierceness, but they did not expect that there would be anyone more ferocious and fierce than them today.
The enemy was caught off guard and was quickly pierced, and the invincible Colliers Janissaries were a little dazed, some at a loss, some at a loss, some at a loss......
The battlefield suddenly became a little chaotic.
"Attack!" The cold wind was still howling in his ears, and Li Yue's blood was already boiling.
The six thousand paces slowly urged, formed a fish scale array, and advanced forward.
At the same time, Shi Min's cavalry, after crossing an arc, turned around again, like a long black whip and slashed towards the enemy.
The screams resounded through Amano.
Hundreds of people were trampled under the hooves of horses and wailed, slaughtered like pigs and dogs.
When they meet on narrow roads, the cavalry has a greater advantage than the foot soldiers.
However, after all, the Colliers Janissaries had been through a hundred battles and did not break up under the frantic blows of the cavalry, and some people quickly reacted, set up their spears, and the axe man retreated to the middle, took out his bow and arrow from behind, and aimed at the rushing cavalry.
Sixty or seventy horses fell with a wail, tripped dozens of horsemen, and were trampled into pulp along with the cavalry.
The Colliers Janissaries were all good at shooting, and they were experienced, and they did not shoot armored cavalry, but only shot horses with larger targets.
When an arrow hits, the galloping horse will fall.
The superiority of the cavalry continued to weaken, the casualties increased, and some cavalry voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.
Shi Min could only turn his horse's head, withdraw from the battlefield, and run towards the high slope to the south.
Although the cavalry is fierce, it does not quickly crush the enemy, and its physical strength, impact and lethality will be greatly reduced.
Suddenly, only the Colliers and the Black Cloud Army were left on the battlefield.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed.
The battlefield suddenly fell silent.
Countless eyes came from behind, and the thief army on the gate also stood on the city wall, looking at the battlefield......
