Chapter 307: Gou Xi's Death
Shao Xu watched Liu Tai's army appear on the horizon, and the rays of the sun shone on the silver armor like fish scales, so that Shao Xu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Although he knew that he was fighting with Liu Tai, Shao Xu really felt Liu Tai's naked power at this moment, a soldier, a soldier, a soldier...... As far as the eye can see, there are armor soldiers!
"General, why didn't you sneak attack yesterday!" Shao Xu looked at Liu Tai's army in front of him and couldn't help but say to Gou Xi.
"Even you, are you shaken by Liu Tai's military appearance?!" Gou Xi heard Shao Xu's words but said,
"It's useless, for this kind of general who takes the route of governing the army, a sneak attack will only make the sneak attack more damaging to the soldiers and morale.
Moreover, if you can't win in the case of a sneak attack, it will make the morale of today's soldiers even lower. ”
"But can we really beat Liu Tai's army?!" Shao Xu raised his head and looked at Gou Xi, and said, "All of the soldiers who are so far in the sky are armor soldiers!" I never imagined that one day I would have to face such an army! ”
As long as you are a soldier, you can clearly feel the power of the armor, and it is not a armor wearing leather armor, but a armor that really wears fish scale armor or even heavy armor, just a glance to give anyone a sense of strength beauty.
Because basically, most of the people who can wear this kind of armor in Gou Xi's army are generals above the length of Qu, and even the centurion may not have the opportunity to wear fish scale armor.
But Liu Tai's army on the other side seemed to be wearing armor as a person, which made Shao Xu almost lose the desire to fight.
After all, you have to win the battle to be willing to fight, but you have to defeat the opposing army head-on, and fight with your head!
"It's not all armor, either!" Gou Xi looked at the galloping cavalry on the battlefield, and it was obvious that some cavalry chose to wear leather armor instead of fish scale armor for the sake of lightness.
It's just that when Shao Xu followed Gou Xi's gaze and saw a group of cavalry, he still made Shao Xu smile helplessly, facing the cavalry, he would rather face the armor.
To be honest, not only Shao Xu felt the strong sense of oppression brought about by Liu Tai's army in armor, but even if he was a soldier, he also felt the sense of oppression brought by Liu Tai's army approaching step by step.
The most important thing is that Liu Tai's army is too quiet, and there is no ordinary hustle and bustle of the army, but only the sound of war drums and horns and other military instruments.
And Liu Tai's army was in the rhythm of Liu Tai's army, neatly and majestically pressing towards his command, looking as if the mountains that had collapsed and collapsed were crushing towards him.
At this time, Shao Xu turned his head and looked at the dense army behind him, obviously there were 100,000 people, but he gave himself a feeling of being alone.
Since Gou Xi was defeated by Liu Tai, he has regathered to train soldiers, and now he has killed Xu Gong and absorbed the soldiers under Xu Gong's command, so that Gou Xi's army has really expanded to 100,000 people.
But with an army of this size, Shao Xu originally had the confidence to fight Liu Tai, but just the armor worn by the soldiers under Liu Tai's command completely pierced the confidence he had accumulated with great difficulty, this is a soldier!
Shao Xu raised his head and looked at the towering and immobile Gou Xi, at least he felt that Gou Xi was there, if he had changed himself, he would have knelt in front of Liu Tai and begged to surrender at this time!
At this time, Gou Xi calmly made his soldiers begin to press, even if he faced Liu Tai's armor.
Gou Xi has no fear, some just want to do his best to fight this war.
And Liu Tai's side is still responsible for commanding Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping's own Qingzhou Five Schools, not to mention first, this time even Liu Ming's headquarters and Liu Yao's heavy cavalry were handed over to Zhou Ping to command.
As for Liu Tai himself, he has 10,000 cavalry in his hands and has the right to cut into the battlefield at any time.
However, Liu Tai generally does not use such rights, after all, to a certain extent, he is a backing for Zhou Ping!
With the run-in of the war, Zhou Ping gradually advanced from an ordinary general to the commander of the 100,000 army step by step.
Facing Gou Xi at this moment, he was not Gou Xi's opponent at all, but this time Zhou Ping wanted to make a name for himself.
Under Zhou Ping's dispatch, the first to go up was not only the barrier camp wearing fish scale armor, but even the barrier camp with a solid shield in their hands.
Sun Wei, the leader of the barrier camp, shouted, and the soldiers went forward one after another!
The two-handed shields of the warriors of the Fortress Battalion, only a few of them were born with divine powers, and the shields were made of pure steel.
The vast majority of the rest of the Barrier Battalion warriors, the big shields in their hands are basically based on solid wood, and then they are covered with different degrees of steel shells according to their own strength.
But unless it is a blow with heavy weapons, the damage that can be inflicted on them is extremely limited, at least the soldiers under the command of Gou Xi, who are the first to pounce in front of them, will not be able to break through the defense of the barrier battalion at all.
But Zhou Ping immediately asked Liu Yin's Changshui battalion to shoot the soldiers in his hands and shoot arrows directly in the direction of the soldiers of the barrier camp.
Anyway, your army is wearing armor, and the damage that ordinary arrows can do is quite limited, and if you have the ability, you can all wear armor to fight your own army!
Gou Xi calmly watched the army in front of him being obstructed, and one after another dispatch orders were passed from Gou Xi's hands, and the soldiers in front of him either raised their shields or stood shields, but they also took the initiative to defend, which made it a little difficult for the barrier battalion to advance.
But from both sides, there were more soldiers infiltrating Liu Tai's army.
Zhou Ping relied on his experience, and was indeed able to command an army of more than 100,000 troops, but Zhou Ping had never really encountered such an opponent, and in the face of Gou Xi's further fine words, what Zhou Ping could do was to let the reserves under Liu Tai put them into the frontal battlefield to intercept Gou Xi's command.
However, Zhou Ping's command ability and judgment of the situation may be worse than Gou Xi, but as the soldiers trained by Liu Tai, they are much stronger than the soldiers under Gou Xi's command in terms of basic quality.
This kind of strength is not only in terms of equipment, but also in terms of morale, confidence, organization and individual quality at the bottom, which is better than the soldiers under Gou Xi in almost every aspect.
This makes Gou Xi's decisions more precise and decisive than Zhou Ping's in command, but the burden he needs to bear is also heavier.
Because Liu Tai's army won all battles, they did not doubt that they would lose, and the veterans under Gou Xi's command knew the treatment of prisoners by Liu Tai's army.
In other words, their first choice on the battlefield was not to win, but to let themselves survive, the difference between the two made some of Gou Xi's soldiers choose to escape when they should be desperate, and choose to give up when they need to persevere.
This makes the battlefield a little more unnecessary, and Gou Xi also has some expectations for his subordinates.
After all, how did he lose the second fight with Liu Tai at the beginning, and the most important reason was that these guys refused to contribute.
Therefore, he didn't dare to face Liu Tai's army until he killed Xu Gong and promoted new recruits, and he really dared to touch Liu Tai's army, otherwise he wouldn't even have the qualifications to touch it.
As for the new recruits who have been promoted to become the new backbone, where did the former veterans go, of course, to supervise the team!
In other words, Gou Xi understands very well that his supervision team is nothing in the right situation, but if there is a real defeat, the supervision team is afraid that it is not the first guy to vote.
But even so, Gou Xi hated the limited number of places in the Overseer team, and he couldn't kick all the veterans who followed him into the Overseer team, and there were still a lot of fish that slipped through the net.
As for Gou Xi's arrangement, these veterans of the war team naturally have no objections.
After all, there is no safer force on the battlefield than this unit, and when it really comes time to supervise the team, in fact, even if you surrender by the way, it is nothing.
In any case, because this group of veterans who have been following Gou Xi are a little ineffective, this makes Gou Xi's army as a whole inevitably a little fragile, and it is unrealistic to expect this army to defeat Liu Tai's army.
In fact, the situation on the battlefield also changed as soon as Zhou Ping adapted to the offensive rhythm of Gou Xi's army.
The most important thing is that Liu Yao's heavy cavalry began to trample on the battlefield under the command of Zhou Ping.
When the rampage heavy cavalry appeared on the battlefield, it directly changed the situation of the entire battlefield, and the situation carefully arranged by Gou Xi was directly unbalanced.
Gou Xi originally had a lot of command and dispatch in mind, but when the heavy cavalry appeared on the stage and wreaked havoc on the battlefield with a mudslide-like impact, Gou Xi found that it was meaningless to make many arrangements in advance.
Wang Jun's lesson, Liu Yuan's lesson, Shi Le's lesson, Gou Xi really can't imagine the changes that the heavy cavalry brought to the war from the battle report.
After all, it's just a herd of heavily armored horses, and no one can stop them when they get to the battlefield?!
Really, no!
The cold reality made Gou Xi clearly know that even if he had overestimated such a new army as much as possible, he thought that he could successfully contain the heavy cavalry troops in front of him, and was directly rushed by the heavy cavalry.
Gou Xi understands that it is not difficult to contain the heavy cavalry, but the difficult thing is that it needs an army that is not afraid of death, as well as extremely thick armor.
And the most ironic thing is that the opposite side has such a configuration, and he obviously has an army of 100,000, but he can't pick an army that can stop the heavy cavalry raging, because his army does not have the same belief as the other party.
The war, from the moment the heavy cavalry charged, inevitably entered garbage time.
"General, let's escape, let's flee back to Xuzhou City!" Shao Xu looked at the battlefield a little blankly.
To be honest, it was clear that he was still evenly matched at the beginning, and even Shao Xu vaguely felt that Gou Xi's command ability was stronger than that of the other party's army.
Even at that moment, Shao Xu had a glimmer of hope that he and others might really be able to win Liu Tai.
But with the entry of the heavy cavalry of the Han army, the incomparable cavalry tore apart Gou Xi's front almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then all the obstacles intercepted in front of them were destroyed, and they were all trampled into mud!
There are obviously 100,000 troops, but at this time, even he has to admit that he has been defeated.
The army of 100,000 people fled at this moment, and there were more people who stayed to resist, and the overseer team was the fastest!
No one dared to resist in front of the heavy cavalry, and the appearance of this army directly refreshed everyone's new understanding of field warfare.
They were more terrifying than any army they had ever expected, and they took everyone out of their courage as soon as they appeared.
"There's no need to escape!" Gou Xi said to Shao Xu, "Even if you escape to Xuzhou City, it's just a matter of dying later!" ”
Shao Xu looked at Gou Xi but felt that Gou Xi was extraordinarily broad, as if he had expected this defeat for a long time.
"General, do you know you're going to lose?" Shao Xu looked at Gou Xi but asked with a bit of a dazedness.
"It's just that I didn't expect to lose so badly, I didn't even see Liu Tai in front of him!" Gou Xi looked at his wrinkled hand and said:
"I really can't keep up with the times, although I have tried my best to imagine the heavy cavalry in the intelligence, but I also didn't expect that this heavy cavalry is more powerful than I thought, and all preparations have been pushed by it!"
Shao Xu wanted to say something, but Gou Xi turned his head and said to Shao Xu:
"After I die, you can surrender to Liu Tai, he is a good monarch, at least stronger than Sima Yue!"
Shao Xu was stunned for a moment, but decisively pounced on Gou Xi's body, held down the sword in Gou Xi's hand, and said:
"General, what are you doing, with the character of King Han, the general may not have no way to live!"
"Is it really a three-catch-three!" Gou Xi looked at Shao Xu and sighed, "Dying in battle should have been my destination, when I was in Qingzhou, I changed my death!" ”
Gou Xi didn't say much, pushed Shao Xu away, and decisively wiped his neck, using death to defend his dignity.
Shao Xu watched Gou Xi kill himself, and only then did Shao Xu realize that Gou Xi was here to die this time.
With this defeat, it can be said that Xuzhou has no strength to intercept Liu Tai at all, and no one can resist Liu Tai's rampant in Xuzhou.
But the most important thing is that Gou Xi still chose to die on the battlefield in the end, and he is more worthy of Sima Yue's kindness to Gou Xi.
It can be said that Gou Xi knew that he was not Liu Tai's opponent, so he chose this battlefield as his graveyard.
At this moment, Liu Yao led the heavy cavalry all the way to the place where Shuai Qi was, but saw that although the enemy army here was solemn, they did not face each other with their swords, so he couldn't help but stop the momentum of the charge slightly, and looked at Shao Xudao: "Who are you?!" ”
"We are General Gou Xi's guards, guarding General Gou Xi's body here and not being damaged by the chaotic army!" Shao continued.
"Gou Xi is dead?!" Liu Yao was stunned for a moment, but said solemnly, "It's better to die, this war is over!" ”
"yes, it's over!"
