Chapter 113: Fierce Battle
The sound of the iron drum at the head of the city is still shaking, and the cold spear in the palm of the hand is not dry!
The heads of people were rolling under Jincheng Pass, and the blood waves were surging.
Mu Shipan's helmet and armor were gone, and his head was scattered, like a mad lion, and he struggled to rotate the tip of the spear, forcing the two black Di nobles with golden swords hanging from their waists to retreat together.
The red armor of the Tun cavalry following behind his own lieutenant was surging like a tide, even though the number was less than four hundred, and the charging speed was not as good as before, but the momentum did not decrease but rose, and the tragic bloody aura came to his face.
Helan Baoshan, who was covered in fat, stretched out his hand to cover the terrible wound on his waist that was bleeding endlessly, and fled in a hurry by deflecting his horse's head.
Helan Changchun, who also avoided the red armor red tide, shook his bloody right hand and threw a piece of red armor that had been deducted from Mu Shipan's red armor to the ground. This piece of armor is the size of a palm, with blood stains on both sides, and a lot of flesh and skin sticking to it, which is really shocking.
He pierced through the Golden Wolf Army Formation three times, during which he clashed with several Black Di Grandmasters, killing no less than 200 people on the king's tent wolf, and Mu Shipan himself was also scarred.
After piercing the formation, the red armor of the tun cavalry is no longer as glamorous and gorgeous as before, no matter whether the people and horses are injured, the ones with intact armor can be counted with their fingers. However, compared to those comrades who were chopped into flesh by random knives, the surviving red armor were too lucky, and how many people had no chance to stand up once they were knocked off the horse by the desperate wolf rider.
Mu Shipan didn't need to look back, he only heard the obviously much heavier sound of horses' hooves behind him and the heavy panting of the soldiers, and knew that these subordinates were almost exhausted.
The heavy armor of the cluster is unparalleled, and the price is that the load on people and horses is extremely heavy, no matter how elite it is, it still can't escape the exhaustion of one blow and three times of decline.
A scout under Shentu Yuan's tent worked hard to bypass the battle group, rushed to the left of the Tun cavalry red armor, and shouted an order: "General Shen Tu has an order, the tun cavalry guard immediately retreats to the pass to rest!"
Mu Shipan was stunned for a moment, although he, the captain of the Tun cavalry, was still nominally controlled by General Jincheng, but in fact, he was directly under the orders of the Son of Heaven like Shen Tuyuan, this is a very clear check and balance technique.
But since there is such a nominal subordination relationship, General Jincheng can indeed give military orders to the Tun cavalry captain, if it is a normal day, Mu Shipan can naturally ignore it, but here and now, it is better to use this to borrow the slope and get off the donkey, than to be wiped out by the whole army and be removed by the imperial court.
Mu Shipan wiped his face, and glanced at the eye-catching golden armor in the army and the white-haired and red-robed standing at the head of the city, and said in his heart, no matter how confused you are Cao Hutou, you always know to maintain the prestige of Shen Tuyuan, a proud protégé, right?
He gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind, even if he had to be shorter than Shen Tuyuan in the future, it would be much better than really running out of capital.
He called the few remaining hundred cavalry commanders under his command, whispered a few words, and during the period, he glared at a loyal subordinate and slapped a few loud slaps, and then kicked and beat the red armor of the less than 400 people and drove the red armor of the tun cavalry with less than 400 people back to the pass to rest.
This small group of cavalry with a strong aura once again lined up in a neat line, slowly passing through the edge of the battlefield of the two elite cavalry that were slaughtered together, until they entered the gate of Jincheng Pass, and no one dared to stop them.
Until this red fierce beast slowly disappeared in the shadow of the doorway, and then was completely closed back into the cage by the heavy city gate, no matter whether it was the enemy or the enemy inside and outside the Jincheng Pass, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Without the rampaging red-armored heavy cavalry, only the light cavalry of the Golden City and the wolf cavalry of the king tent in the early 6,000s were left on the battlefield, and it soon evolved into a stalemate in which the two sides attacked and defended each other.
Although Jincheng General Shen Tuyuan has the cultivation of a grandmaster, he is not a sharp and fierce general like Mu Shipan, and he personally went out of the city to lead the troops, but it was to stabilize the morale of the army and facilitate the nearby arrangement.
With the keen sense of the Grandmaster realm, his military orders could be accurately and directly sent to the heads of the captains of each five-hundred-man battalion, thus quickly weaving a dense net.
With the backbone of the backbone, the formation of more than 10,000 light cavalry was tight, and they launched a wave of continuous attacks in an orderly manner, gradually cutting the already weak wolf cavalry array, regardless of how many kills were inflicted on the wolf riders of the king's tent each time, but begging that the other party could not have a moment of respite and rest.
About 2,000 Jincheng light cavalry were always on the edge of the battlefield, protecting two hundred god-arm crossbows with huge damage. This kind of crossbow is incredibly powerful, but it is extremely difficult to use, and it is only possible to use it freely by a well-established soldier. If it is used in cavalry combat, it can be wound by foot pedals, which slightly reduces the requirement for the arm strength of the soldiers. Rao is like this, these two thousand crossbowmen who are actually foot soldiers also need to be constantly rotated to ensure the continuity of the rain of arrows.
In addition to the first round of battles, after the two sides fought in one place, the divine arm crossbow that could shoot through several people with one arrow would not make any great achievements, and it was also quite effective to suppress the rising masters in the Hei Di army with more accurate shots.
On the other hand, the king tent wolf cavalry, because it was the Great Khan who personally led the troops, and there were many grandmasters and nobles in charge, even though the losses were extremely heavy, the morale was always high, and he went up against the tide again and again, regardless of life and death, and tore off a large piece of flesh and blood on the Jincheng light horse, but unfortunately he was never able to reverse the gradually clear decline.
Both sides have amazing results, but the scene is lackluster, and it has become a boring tug-of-war where you cut me and I shoot you with an arrow.
As a general of the border army who is known for his good defense, Shen Tuyuan's commanding style is worthy of the eight words "tenacious and dense, not leaking", but he is not liked by martial artists such as Mu Shipan and Ganjiuquan.
Being able to turn a bloody battle on the battlefield that is blood-boiling and can be seen in the annals of history into a boring account with only cold numbers increasing and decreasing, Shen Tuyuan has really broken the scholarly spirit and poetic feelings of many good men who have thrown pen to paper, and it has also made many generals extremely unappetizing, and they no longer want to believe the impassioned drunken words of their parents.
Cao Xian has experienced countless winds and waves in his life, but he admires this proud protégé very much, and the well-known eight-character comment is from the mouth of this "great military aircraft", and later it was written into the recital of recommending Shen Tuyuan to the Son of Heaven, helping him to sit in the prominent position of General Jincheng and other radishes and pits.
Originally, if Shen Tuyuan, who was cautious by nature, would fight this battle, he would definitely use relatively cheap light cavalry to consume the king's tent wolf cavalry as much as possible, and then use the red armor of the tun cavalry to make a final decision, but Cao Xianzhi did the opposite, this kind of strategy is really not in line with the art of war, and it is even more contrary to common sense.
However, Jincheng Guanzhong is the biggest Cao Hutou, whether it is a mountain of military orders that crush people at the level of the official university, or the personal kindness of Shen Tuyuan's cultivation and support, it is by no means just a powerless empty word.
Fortunately, the red-clothed military plane seemed to have forgotten the strict order of the Tun cavalry guards to kill Helan Chuxiong at any cost, but acquiesced in Shen Tuyuan's self-assertion, which made everyone in the gate breathe a sigh of relief and full of doubts.
The fierce battle was in full swing, and the north direction suddenly covered the sky with smoke and dust, and Ganjiuquan fled with dozens of white falcons, and the king tent wolf rode with nearly 10,000 strong horses and horses.
The reinforcements of the Heidi battalion have been delayed for so long, even if they are as anxious as a lost dog at the moment, no one dares to underestimate Ganjiuquan and the white falcon for half a minute. It's just that there are only a few people left, and they are only one step away from the removal of the flag, and only God knows whether the Xiao Cavalry can regain their vitality like the spring grass that cannot be burned by wildfires.
Helan Chuxiong, who was under the banner of the golden wolf and surrounded by a large group of guards, was overjoyed, and some of the gourmets hesitated when they saw countless delicious delicacies, and they couldn't decide whether to calmly withdraw the army or ruthlessly kill the golden armor general who was not far away.
Due east and north of the battlefield, a large number of scattered black and black cavalry suddenly appeared, covering another small group of cavalry behind him that was not conspicuous, except for the old red robes of the twenty or so cavalry border troops who led the way, and the remaining hundreds of cavalry were all in black clothes and black robes.
This black-robed cavalry was like herding sheep, and soon drove the Black Di Rangers to crash into the core battlefield one step ahead of the king's tent reinforcements, which attracted the curious eyes of many people.
There was a dragon-like roar of horses in the wind, and then a black gas rose into the sky, turning into a black dragon in the sky above the black-robed cavalry, roaring silently, and the sky was full of arrogance.
With the appearance of the black jiao, wisps of black qi emerged from all over the battlefield, and they all converged towards the black jiao, and the scene was extremely strange and spectacular.
In the midst of the wolf riding formation, Helan Changchun Huo Ran turned his head, and the cold light flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, and then slammed a punch into his chest, suppressing the qi in his body that was about to move.
At the head of Jincheng Guancheng, the three giants of the Ceres Temple turned their heads almost at the same time, their eyes burning.
Yuan Danqiu shook the sleeves of his frugal gray robe, and there was a shallow smile on his old face.
"Whether he can afford this heavy burden, the old man will have to wait and see today!"
(I'm also annoyed by the water, so let's just try to see the dagger.) )
