Chapter 18: The Death of Mo Nan (3)

After the horn sounded to meet the enemy, the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army, who were chasing and killing the remnants of Shatuo in various places near and far, decisively gave up the military merits of the heads at their fingertips, turned their horses' heads one after another, and quickly converged on the hillside where the general flag was located.

The military formation, which was originally a hundred paces in radius, soon expanded to most of the slopes. Long lance horses, strong crossbow iron armor, the wolf tooth army is already extraordinary, plus it occupies a high place, it looks like an abyss at a glance, and it does have the potential of a divine soldier from the sky.

However, no matter how many divine soldiers descended from the sky, it was only less than 70,000. Compared with the Khitan cavalry ocean that surrounded and swept over the mountains, it still can't change the fact that it is just an isolated island.

Yelu Xiannechi led his troops to rush across a low slope, and when he saw that the Wolf Tooth Army had begun to attack in formation, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little more admiration.

In an instant, the admiration for the Wolf Tooth Army will be replaced by a bloodthirsty color, he looked at the general flag waving in the wind, and chuckled: "In order to destroy you, the Khitan paid the price of the party, Shatuo, and more than 700,000 soldiers, how can you not die?"

By the time the Wolf Tooth Army soldiers were assembled, the Khitan cavalry was already close at hand. As far as the eye could see, there were white cavalry with no end in sight. The earthquake trembled, the corpses of the Shatuo people were shaking, and the blue sky seemed to collapse.

Shangguan Chengcheng raised his eyebrows and shouted, and with the help of the power of the battle array, the general order was conveyed to every soldier, "Prepare for the wolf's tooth crossbow!"

Wolf tooth crossbow, after Shangguan Allure engulfed Peng Zushan to the military camp, the other party specially developed the magic weapon crossbow for the wolf tooth army. The small size, easy to use for cavalry, with the blessing of the rune array, the power is greater than the arm crossbow, and the range is longer, especially commendable, a single shot can shoot three arrows in a row.

Therefore, the wolf's tooth crossbow is a weapon for cavalry groups.

"Charge!"

When the Khitan cavalry reached the best distance, with the order of Shangguan Allure, the battle formation of the Wolf Tooth Army on the vast gentle slope slowly spread down. Because of the terrain, the Wolf Tooth Army accelerated faster than usual, and the momentum of the charge formed in the blink of an eye, and it rumbled down like an avalanche.

Jerushinech did not rush to the front. Although he has the confidence to destroy the Wolf Tooth Army, he also knows that the Wolf Tooth Army still has the strength to fight. When he faced Shangguan Allure in the realm of famous generals of the Shangbing family, he undoubtedly sent it to the knife edge.

Jerushone had no intention of looking for death.

Although he did not lead the army to charge, the vanguard general was his most powerful henchman, and he was also the most powerful general in the heart besides him. Yelu Xiannichi knew very well that the generals in the front battle had to resist the wolf tooth army for a while, and if they easily tore the formation for the other party, the consequences would definitely not be bearable.

However, it did not turn out as Jerushanechi had hoped.

Before the Wolf Tooth Army could rush down, a boundless dark cloud rose from the hillside. This dark cloud appeared so quickly that it didn't give people time to react at all, and it suddenly fell in front of the abdomen!

The sound of crossbows snorting into flesh sounded almost simultaneously, and when connected, the sound was exceptionally loud, almost equivalent to a tsunami erupting, and people were terrified to hear it. The screams that came out one after another immediately overshadowed the tooth-sore sound, tearing people's eardrums painfully.

Jerushine was like falling into an ice cave, and the hand holding the reins shook violently, almost causing the horse to rush out.

From those crossbow arrows, he saw the spiritual light.

This discovery shocked him.

The Wolf Tooth Army is using a magic weapon crossbow!

There has never been a large-scale magic weapon bow and crossbow in the army, whether it is the Tang Army or the Khitan!

And the crossbow bolts that just flew out of the wolf's tooth army array, to say the least, there are more than 10,000!

Such a large-scale magic weapon crossbow is unseen and unheard of!

And its power is even more desperate.

Yelu Xiannechi immediately climbed on a low slope, so he could see that after the "three arrows" were in battle, the thousands of cavalry in front of him were gone! The sporadic lucky ones and strong men were still rushing forward, but they were like a few dandelions in the wind, they were so thin.

They were soon overwhelmed by the tide of the Wolf Tooth Army.

Thousands of cavalry fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, freeing up a large buffer zone on the way of the Wolf Tooth Army's advance.

So after the three arrows, there were three more arrows.

After three battles and three arrows, the most brave and warlike cavalry in the Khitan Kingdom lost nearly 20,000 in this way!

They didn't even touch the corners of the wolf's tooth army, so they died on the way to the charge!

Jerushone Nechi only felt that his eyes were shining with gold stars, and it was difficult to breathe. They were all his men, his comrades, his siblings!

I knew that the Wolf Tooth Army could fight, but I didn't think that the Wolf Tooth Army was so capable of fighting. It's just that the Wolf Tooth Army can fight because Shangguan Allure has the realm of famous generals, but I didn't expect them to have such a unique weapon in the world!

Yelu Xiannichi's heart was painful, but Shangguan Chengcheng was still dissatisfied.

There are too many Khitan cavalry, and it is a circular encirclement, and the wolf tooth army has no room to move, so it has now been in close contact with the Khitan cavalry.

If it weren't for being surrounded, the effect of the wolf's tooth crossbow would definitely be more than that. Moreover, there are only 5,000 wolf tooth crossbows in the wolf tooth army, although they can fire three in a row at a time, they are still too few after all.

If the 70,000 wolf tooth army can have a wolf tooth crossbow in each person's hand, then it can definitely dominate the world, go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, and walk on the ground.

It's a pity that, on the one hand, there is not enough time, Peng Zushan and the craftsman can only make so many wolf tooth crossbows, and on the other hand, the materials are limited, and 70,000 wolf tooth crossbows are destined to be unrealizable.

Unless, Datang's territory is wide enough to mine and collect enough materials for making wolf tooth crossbows.

Before Yelu Xiannichi could rush to kill, his eyes were already red.

After the Wolf Tooth Army used the magic weapon to kill the enemy, it relied on the power of Shangguan's military battle array, and the chariot crushed the formation of more than 10,000 cavalry!

At this point, if it were an ordinary army, no matter how many people were backing it, the battle would have been in chaos a long time ago, and the soldiers would have fled. Because no warrior has the courage to face such an army and such a ferocious offensive!

And that's just a charge!

Yelu Xiannichi was really very happy, very happy.

He was glad that he didn't fight an unprepared encounter with Shangguan Allure. He finally understood very clearly that no matter how the party and Sha Tuo organized their armies for war, as long as they faced the wolf tooth army led by Shangguan Chengcheng, there would not be much difference in the battle situation and results.

This is not an army capable of hard resistance at all!

It probably shouldn't have been in this world at all.

When it appears, no one else has a way to live!

The states within the reach of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, in addition to destruction, there is only one way left to surrender!

At this moment, Yelu Xiannechi, a Khitan man, also understood what the Tang Dynasty was called!

At that time, Datang also had famous generals like Shangguan Allure, and also had an army like the Wolf Tooth Army.

Jerushone was sweating like pulp.

It's a cold sweat.

He wiped the sweat from his face and let out a long sigh of relief.

There is nothing wrong with the king's arrangement, no, it should be said that it is extremely wise. If you don't destroy the Wolf Tooth Army, and if you don't destroy Shangguan Allure, the Khitan will not have the qualifications to compete with the Tang Dynasty!

And now, it's the best, if not the only chance.

Fortunately, this opportunity is ironclad.

Yelu Xiannechi rushed to the front of the battle formation, and the spear was immediately in the position of the main general.

His henchman, Adjutant General, is dead.

Now it's time for him to go into battle and fight for himself.

Otherwise, Rao is the elite and fearless of death in his heart, and the soldiers will have no intention of resisting the Wolf Tooth Army. This is the second battle formation in the heart of the abdomen, and although there is no big gap between it and the first battle formation led by the deputy general, it is also distinct.

When the heart of the abdomen meets the Wolf Tooth Army, it is necessary to arrange a two-layer battle formation to maintain the hierarchy of offense and defense. This is the strict order given to him by Yelu Abaoji before Yelu Xiannichi left. If you don't obey, you will win, and you will have to raise your head to see you.

Jerushone obeyed this order.

Now he knew how prescient Yelu Abaoji was.

Otherwise, the front line will disrupt your own formation, causing confusion and causing the entire battle formation to be defeated.

And right now, the defeated pawns in the front of the abdomen are being guided to the left and right in front of the second battle formation.

Yelu Xiannechi did not hesitate, and led his troops to rush out before the defeated soldiers were completely evacuated. As a result, the subsequent defeated soldiers were swallowed up by their rush and died, but the benefit was obvious, the Wolf Tooth Army had no chance to fire crossbow bolts again.

Yelu Xiannechi was brave and fearless, and met the wolf tooth army led by Shangguan Chengcheng.

At this time, he was indeed fearless. He could see clearly that the power of Shangguan's famous generals in the battle formation was no longer majestic.

Although the 30,000 soldiers of the heart can be said to die immediately, their death is very valuable.

Without the blessing of the power of the famous general's battle array, there is not much difference in combat power between the Wolf Tooth Army and the heart of the belly. If at this time, Yelu Xiannichi, who has more than 200,000 Khitan cavalry, cannot defeat the already exhausted wolf tooth army, then it will become the laughing stock of the entire Khitan country.

At this point in the battle, accidents are no longer possible.

The heart of the abdomen collided with the wolf's tooth army, and each other turned on their backs, and the follow-up cavalry continued to stagger, cutting each other's soldiers off their horses.

Casualties are surging on both sides.

Yelu Xian Nechi struck a blow against Shangguan Chengcheng, and was carried away by the war horse and rushed to the opponent in front.

Jerushanechi was excited and painful.

Excitedly, Shangguan's battle array was no longer a threat, and the uncomfortable thing was that even in this situation, the casualties of his own troops still far exceeded that of the Wolf Tooth Army.

"He is the only famous general in the world. Jerushine sighed in his heart. Of course, he knew that the strength of a general was not only the strength of the individual, but also the overall strength of the army under his command.

"But this is not enough for you to escape, today, you can rest here in peace!" At this moment, he actually had a little admiration for the hero, and he couldn't bear to see the other party die like this.

However, now is clearly not the time to choose.

Shangguan Allure's face, which was whiter than snow, gradually turned red. Her breathing grew heavier and heavier, until she felt a tearing pain in her lungs with each deep inhale.

She knew she was running out of energy.

Since he fought with Yelu Xiannichi, how many Khitan soldiers he has slashed, Shangguan Chengcheng has lost count. But that's okay, it's not very important anyway. As a commander-in-chief, even if he is a strong general who kills the enemy army, as long as he does not achieve victory, it is meaningless.

And now, Shangguan Allure, who has been staring at the battle ahead, can't see where the victory is. There is no end in sight of the Khitan soldiers in front of her, no matter how hard she slashes and kills, no matter how many people fall in front of her, what she sees is still like a sea of white horses, like a forest spear and halberd.

Suddenly, there was a heart-piercing pain from under Shangguan Allure's ribs.

Her movements were finally slow, slow and slow, so slow that she could not block all the enemy's swords and guns, so slow that she could not even resist the blades with the strong part of her armor.

Shangguan Chengcheng did not look down at his wounds.

There was no need to look, she knew that the blood was already flowing.

She just took the Khitan commander who had stabbed her, knocked him off his horse with a lance, and then went to meet the next enemy.

He would be injured, and Shangguan Chengcheng knew that the pro-soldiers on his two wings would definitely suffer extremely heavy casualties. Otherwise, they would never let the spears of the enemy threaten them.

Shangguan Chengcheng didn't look back, just rushed forward to kill.

It is useless to turn back, if you can't lead the army out of the siege, all the wolf fang army will die here.

Everyone knows one thing: victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. This shows that no matter how powerful the general is, no matter how famous the military god, it is possible to be defeated. There are countless such names in the history books.

Shangguan Chengcheng remembered that when she was still a young Ai, he asked Li Ye a sentence: Throughout the ages, have there been generals who have survived a hundred battles? Li Ye replied to her, yes, and many, such as Sun Bin and Huo Quai.

Shangguan Allure has never been defeated.

Will he be like Sun Bin and Huo Quai, and always be invincible?

Shangguan Chengcheng has thought many times about what kind of scene it will be when he is defeated, and what kind of battle it will be.

She didn't know when that battle would come.

This time she went to Monan, and she came with the determination to win.

In the battle of Hexi, which was destined to shine in the annals of history, she didn't make much effort, but just followed behind Li Ye and ate a lot of dust with the army.

Shangguan Chengcheng will not be dissatisfied, but he just feels pity and regret.

Li Ye's side has gathered more and more masters and capable ministers, whether she wants to admit it or not, the fact is that her weight has been shared.

In the past, when Li Ye was still the prince, in the palace of Chang'an, Shangguan Chengcheng was Li Ye's only supporter and the only strength of the other party. At that time, although Shangguan Allure had a low realm, and Li Ye did not cultivate, every time he recalled it, Shangguan Allure felt that those days were the most comfortable days.

In the unpredictable world, in the world where the smoke is not extinguished, Shangguan Allure, who is wearing iron armor and pressing a horizontal knife with his hand and a horizontal knife, stands behind Li Ye, even if he is weak, but it is the last barrier that makes the storm unable to threaten Li Ye, and it is also the first soldier for Li Ye to ride the wind and waves and break the situation forward.

Honor and disgrace are shared, and life and death depend on each other.

Li Ye can only be driven by her, and she will fight for Li Ye until the last moment and shed the last drop of blood.

Whether it is brilliant or down, standing at the peak or falling at the trough, Shangguan Allure thinks that he can bear it with Li Ye.

This is her duty and glory as a soldier of the palace and as the guard of His Royal Highness, and it is the mission and destination of her life.

Shangguan Allure is proud and proud of this.

For this pride and pride, she can give her life without hesitation.

Now it's different.

Li Ye sits in the world, although he does not have the name of the emperor, but he has the reality of an emperor, and the warriors under his command are like clouds, and the strategists are like rain. He frowned, and countless warriors would come forward and slash at his enemies with their swords. As soon as he waved his sleeves, countless beauties would flock to him, prostrate at his feet, offering their most precious things.

Shangguan Allure knew that Shangguan Allure was still the same Shangguan Allure.

Shangguan Allure knew that Li Ye was still the same Li Ye.

Shangguan Chengcheng knows even more that what changes is only the world and the situation.

In the face of the world and the situation, she is no longer Li Ye's only reliance, no longer Li Ye's personal guard, and her battle is no longer closely watched by Li Ye behind her.

And his honor and disgrace are no longer witnessed by her side one by one.

Shangguan Chengcheng doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, but he will regret it in his heart.

Many silent nights, when she was neatly dressed and energetic, and habitually came to Li Ye's door, ready to stand guard and guard, she saw the big young man there, and suddenly woke up, it turned out that she was no longer needed by Li Ye.

Countless dusks after returning from the barracks, rare leisure moments, can finally relax, and when she wants to stand near Li Ye and watch Li Ye read, practice martial arts, and reverie, she finds that King An is not in the familiar places in the mansion.

The mud city mud army under the big locust tree in the palace has been gone for more than ten years. Only the yellow leaves of the locust tree, drifting in the evening breeze.

She has lived as a warrior and a guard for many years, and every bit of her life, in addition to standing next to Li Ye, is to prepare for better standing next to Li Ye. She devoted all her time and energy to practicing, studying the art of war, and training soldiers.

Outside of that, she doesn't have any personal activities or personal preferences.

If you insist on saying that there is, it is to quietly watch Li Ye read, perform martial arts, and reverie, that is the leisurely moment she enjoys the most.

Now, her only preference is gone. She sat in her courtyard in a daze, from dusk to dusk, from night to dawn, as silent as an emotionless statue. When the sun rises and a new day comes, she can only put on her armor again, ride her horse out of the house, and go to the barracks.

And so, day after day, year after year.

She never made any requests to Li Ye, and she never even expressed her feelings. She knows very well that His Highness's hardships and hardships are not easy, as His Highness's oldest subordinate and closest arm, even if she can't share His Highness's worries, at least she should have the consciousness of not causing trouble for His Highness.

Fight, fight. As a warrior, she had to fight. A warrior without a fight, good for nothing.

What a famous general, what a military god, Shangguan Allure just wants to defeat all strong enemies. In this way, at the celebration banquet, Li Ye would drink with her, and he would smile at her alone.

The generals should fight for the monarch and win.

If you can't win, then the war will have no value of survival.

Even if he barely survives, he will eventually be replaced, until he has no place in front of the monarch at all, until he can't see the monarch's face, until he is forgotten behind a mountain of official documents.

At that moment, Shangguan Allure didn't want to experience it.

I'd rather die in battle than go through it.
