This place is called Guillotine Slope.

The terrain of the Guillotine Slope is high in the east and low in the west, and once it occupies the east, it is very beneficial for the cavalry to charge. Back then, it was here that Li Qiuyi broke the 30,000 infantry of the Ghost Tu clan with 3,000 cavalry, and cut off the head of the leader of the Ghost Map with one sword, so he was called the Guillotine Slope.

Liang Yuanzhi saw that the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had fallen into formation, and said sharply, "Cloth shield formation." ”

Hundreds of shield bearers lined up to build a shield wall. This kind of shield, which is dominated by wattle vine, is inlaid with iron sheets to reduce weight, and has a live buckle at the bottom, which, once opened, can be inserted into the ground to form a slope, thus enhancing the stability of the shield wall.

Behind each shieldman, two spearmen poked their spears out of the gaps, if in the past, the fire-word battalion crossbowmen and archers were also standard, but now the fire-word battalion is left behind the Twin Peaks, and the situation is very bad.

Countless thistles were scattered more than a dozen feet in front of the shieldman.

The Northern Zhou War Horse has iron palms on the soles of its feet, and this kind of thistle terrestris is not very useful, but now that the situation is critical, it can't be taken care of so much.

Be sure to block the first attack!

The more critical the moment, the more Liang Yuanzhi had to keep himself calm, he had already ordered the rear, in groups of six, to quickly form a plum blossom formation, move to the front row, and keep an eye on the enemy's flank charge at any time.

The horn sounded.

The first group of hundreds of cavalry began to charge.

On the severed slope, the earthquake trembled.

Liang Yuanzhi pulled out his long knife and said, "Conquer the Western Army, fight to the death!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Fight to the death!"

On the severed slope, there was an atmosphere of slaughter.

In the eyes of everyone, there was a resolute look.

For the sake of Daming, for the sake of the family, in order to survive.

Fight to the death!

......

Hidden Sun City.

With the assistance of Li Xianzhong and others, Zhao Lanjiang quickly controlled the situation in Yinyang. Li Xiancheng was unpopular in Yinyang City, and the matter of being called the emperor had already become a farce, except for Li Renjie, who was nowhere to be found, more than a dozen people in the whole mansion were all killed.

Zhao Lanjiang received news from the scouts that Liang Yuanzhi's expedition to the western army was trapped in the Jiatoupo and the situation was critical, so he immediately made a decision and ordered Li Xianzhong to gather 3,000 white horse righteous followers, plus 300 people from the western army, to lead the army to support.

Only 2,000 white horses were left in Yinyang City to defend the city, and Li Xianzhong was in charge of Yinyang. As for Li Xiancheng's more than 10,000 private soldiers, Zhao Lanjiang couldn't use them, and he didn't dare to use them, so he asked Li Xianzhong to send someone to take them over and stand by outside Yinyang City.

When he left the city, Li Bufan rushed out of the crowd and said to Zhao Bajiang, "Li Bufan, the city gatekeeper, please fight!"

Zhao Lanjiang had seen him and knew that he had some friendship with Xiao Jinyan, so he said, "Your duty is to guard the city gate, not to go to the front line to kill the enemy!"

Li Bufan said, "If you don't kill the enemy in battle, how can you be regarded as a hidden yang man!"

Seeing that he was determined, Zhao Lanjiang said, "Can you ride a horse?"

"Aren't you insulting?" Li Bufan said.

"Don't be verbose, get on the horse!"

The gates were opened, and three thousand horsemen went out of the city.

Li Xianzhong said, "General Zhao...... City Lord, bring them back alive!"

Zhao Lanjiang was shocked when he heard this, and felt the pressure on his body increase suddenly. When he was just a guerrilla general, the old Liu Tou, who had stepped down, once said similar things to him, but in the battle of Hengduan Mountain, almost all the troops were wiped out.

It was also one of the things he regretted most in his life.

Because of this, when the expeditionary army returned to the crown prince, he was furious, beat his boss violently and left.

Zhao Lanjiang looked at Li Xianzhong and said, "I'll bring them back." ”

......

Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.

Although Liang Yuanzhi made the most correct response, the Northern Zhou Dynasty occupied the advantage of the terrain, and the three groups reunited, the Western Army of the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, and the entire formation was also scattered by the cavalry.

Tuoba Oxman rode a big horse, stood on the hillside, held a chicken leg in his hand, and shouted while eating, "Surrender and don't kill!" and the rest of the Northern Zhou soldiers also shouted, "Surrender and don't kill!"

Some soldiers with slightly weaker willpower lost their weapons and gave up resistance, but they were greeted by the butcher's knives of the Northern Zhou cavalry.

This kind of talk is the most demoralizing.

Once they gain the upper hand, they destroy the opponent's mind with words, and they have tried many times, even Liang Yuanzhi killed several people in a row, but he did not prevent the soldiers from surrendering.

After an hour, nearly 30,000 people were killed and wounded in the Western Army, and the rest of the men and horses gradually approached like Shuai Qi, surrounding Liang Yuanzhi in the center, and under the unified command, the decline was slightly stopped.

But defeat was assured.

The Northern Zhou army suddenly stopped attacking.

Tuoba Niuren rode his horse downhill, came to fifty paces in front of the Western Army formation, and shouted, "The one who takes the lead, but Liang Yuanzhi Liang General Soldier?

Liang Yuanzhi drove his horse and came to the front of the formation, "Liang is here!"

Tuoba Oxman sent the half-gnawed chicken leg in his hand forward, trembling all over the fat and asking, "Are you hungry?"

Liang Yuanzhi saw Tuoba Niuren for the first time, and thought that this god of war of the Northern Zhou Dynasty should be burly and like a god, but when he saw it today, a meat ball, to say the least, would cost three hundred catties, and even if he got off the war horse quickly, he was a little difficult to travel.

He said, "If there's a fart, let it go." ”

Burst!

Tuoba Niuren showed a look of satisfaction, and shook his shoulders, "It's over! Comfortable!" He drove a few steps forward and persuaded, "Your defeat is decided, it's better to tie up your hands, I will take you back to the Northern Zhou, our majesty is also a person who cherishes and loves talents, and when the time comes, high-ranking officials and beauties will be accompanied, glory and wealth, inexhaustible, the key is that there are chicken legs, enough to manage!"

Liang Yuanzhi scolded, "Be your mother's spring and autumn dream." As the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, how could Liang commit an act of defecting to the enemy and treason? You are underestimating Liang too much!"

Tuoba Niuren shouted, "Listen to the Western Army, if anyone takes Liang Yuanzhi's head, the official will be crowned a marquis, ten thousand taels of silver, and thousands of acres of fertile land!"

The crowd was in an uproar and scolded.

"Phew, shameless!"

"Don't be ashamed, there are thousands of acres of fertile land, the land of projectiles, the places where birds don't, and the food grown is stinky, who is rare!"

Tuoba Niuren regretted this, "I just gave you a chance, and since you don't want to, I'll give you another chance." As long as you go through ten moves under me, I will let you and these soldiers behind you live!"

Liang Yuanzhi hesitated.

In today's battle, most of the 50,000 Western troops were damaged. Once all annihilated, the Northern Zhou Dynasty will mobilize troops and horses to jointly attack Hulukou with Western Chu soldiers and horses, then after this battle, the western front of the Ming Dynasty will be completely lost, and the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty will change.

There is still a chance.

If you don't fight, you're dead.

"Is that true?"

Tuoba Niu gave the chicken leg to the general Mazda, wiped the oil on his battle robe, raised his hand and said, "I swear in the name of the sacred tree!"

The people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty firmly believe that all things are animistic, and in their capital, there is a tree with lush branches and leaves, which has sheltered the Northern Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years. Tuoba cattle people can swear by this tree, and Liang Yuanzhi decided to fight.

The subordinates persuaded: "Lord Commander, the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are cunning, don't be gullible!"

Liang Yuanzhi shook his head, "We have no other way out. ”

He rode his horse forward a few steps, and came to the top ten zhang in front of the Tuoba Bullman, and with a wave of his hand, a huge net came to the sky, trapping Liang Yuanzhi in it, and several Northern Zhou soldiers stepped forward and tied Liang Yuanzhi up.

All this was so sudden, Liang Yuanzhi was caught off guard.

"Shameless!"

Tuoba Niuren smiled, "I'm a shameless person, and it's not a day or two. I don't need to be scheming, I'm really not used to it!"

General Mazda complimented, "Marshal wise!"

Tuoba Niu said, "Go back and add chicken legs." ”

He said sharply, "The boss is captured, you can quickly put down your blade, and you can live!"

Liang Yuanzhi, a member of the Western Army, was captured, and immediately lost his fighting spirit, and they all threw away their blades and surrendered.

Another general, Daimler, said, "Congratulations to the marshal, without spending a single soldier, he captured 20,000 thieves." With these captives, we have another point of combat power in the Northern Zhou!"

Tuoba Niu said, "You know a fart, 20,000 people, that's 20,000 mouths to eat." Lao Tzu's chicken legs are limited, where can I find food for them? Let them line up to the Chishui River, and kill them all!"

Mazda said, "Marshal, I have a proposal that is not very mature. ”

Tuoba Niu said, "Then don't talk about it. ”

Mazda said, "Now that the 50,000 Ming thieves are all gone, and the Hidden Yang City is just a small city, it is better to take advantage of the situation to take it, first, to loot the resources in the city, and secondly, to use this as a stronghold, you can completely annihilate the Ming army." Wouldn't it be wonderful that these 20,000 Ming troops could be used to take the lead and let them kill each other?"

When Tuoba Niuren heard this, he laughed, "Where is this immature, it's just ripe." General Ma, you are really getting deeper and deeper into the shameless style of Marshal Ben. ”

Mazda said, "The marshal has won the prize!"

Daimler's eyes showed a look of unwillingness.

"I heard that Li Xiancheng was slaughtered, and now a kid named Zhao Lanjiang is guarding the city, as the saying goes, there is no hair on the side of the mouth, and the work is not firm, and his subordinates are willing to take the lead!" Daimler volunteered.

At this time, the spies came to report that a troop of cavalry had arrived from the east.

The sound of horses' hooves.

Zhao Lanjiang has led his people to occupy the Broken Head Slope.

The Northern Zhou army charged several times, coupled with the surrender of the Ming army, the vigilance was slightly reduced, and the terrain advantage was surrendered, and the Tuoba cattle people were not ambiguous, saying, "Get on the horse and fight!"

Phew!

The cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty mounted their horses to meet the enemy.

Daimler said, "The generalissimo will wait for a while, and his subordinates will take the head of the enemy's commander!"

Tuoba Niu said, "Yes." I wish General Dai a victorious start and come back to celebrate your achievements!"

Daimler asked, "But ask for a chicken leg!"

Tuoba Niu said, "To you both!"

Daimler was generally urged to meet the battle, while ordering the infantry to set up their formations and the archers to prepare.

Daimler mounted his horse, led a hundred horsemen, and said, "Erlang, come with me and kill this thief!"

The drums of war sounded.

Daimler led his cavalry and rushed up the hillside.

Zhao Lanjiang gave an order, hung a golden knife on his waist, and held a glaive knife in his hand, and he was the first to rush out, Li Bufan and the others followed behind, forming a horn momentum, and rushed down the severed head slope, the war horse became faster and faster, and he saw that the distance from Daimler was less than 100 zhang.

Daimler felt that the war horse under his crotch was a little staggering, and his speed began to slow down, and when he looked down, black things began to ooze from the horse's body, full of greasy, and he was puzzled, how could this be a good war horse?

The distance is getting closer.

Bang!

Daimler came from a faint fragrance, that feeling, like eating honey, the whole person is going to heaven, in mid-air, he looked at the war horse rushed forward three or four feet, kneeling on the ground, a headless corpse, picked up by the white horse Yicong.

Hey?

Isn't that me?

This was Daimler's last vestiges of consciousness.
