Chapter Seventy-Three: Counter-Killing
The scouts of the Xiliang Army, who were cruising outside Liangdong County, heard the strange sound from the nearby mountains and forests, and were secretly suspicious in their hearts, and then they saw hundreds of knights in the dark depths of the distance, like waves at high tide, seemingly slow but actually surging quickly.
"Oh no! It's a trap, I've got to signal it right away. ”
The scouts of the Xiliang Army hurriedly took off the horn on their waists, and prepared to blow the horn of warning to their partners who rushed into Liangdong County to attack Sun's army at night. It's a pity that when he was just about to deal with it, Ye Zhiqiu, who was rushing to the vanguard of the elite cavalry brigade of the Sun-Liu coalition army, gently attracted with his right hand, and seventeen foxes who had been hungry for a long time appeared, and then shot away like arrows off the string.
The formless and qualitative Leon, the greedy kiss of grabbing essence on the Xiliang Army Scout Cavalry, the bison horn that came to this person's mouth, suddenly slipped off his strength and fell to the ground, and fell into two with a click.
After a while, the Xiliang Army Scout Cavalry did not even complete the minimum response, and was sucked alive by the seventeen foxes into dried corpses. A sudden night breeze blew, and Ye Zhiqiu saw the target of the thin paper man, and quietly slipped to the ground, couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, and then his expression returned to calm.
Liu Bei, the Taishou of Zhongshan, vaguely knew what was going on, and glanced sideways at the "Taoist General" who was quite promising in his mind, and didn't say a word, such a strange Taoist method was really terrifying.
"Is the example of the dragon qi law forbidding collapse, and the law not adding nobles is still effective? The Qi refiner who has lost his suppression is inevitably too terrifying. This picturesque picture of thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains still has to be managed by the true son of heaven. ”
Until this time, Liu Bei still had the plan to support the Han family and become a Zhongxing minister, but the next development of events will take a sharp turn for the worse, and his thoughts will definitely change drastically.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know how to read minds, and he didn't know the Uncle Liu Huang he chose, and his complicated psychological thoughts at this time were now focused on the reconnaissance and cavalry rangers of the Xiliang Army outside the city.
There is a fox who is as fast as an arrow from a string and can automatically pursue the target, he is the impermanence of the god who harvests human lives on the battlefield, and a silent look can make people who are in the way die.
It was with the presence of Ye Zhiqiu that the Sun-Liu coalition army was able to approach Liangdong County "quietly", but when they arrived close, the protective color given by the night could no longer hide their figures under the blazing firelight, and the linen cloth wrapped in the horse's hooves was thick, and after a long distance of sneaking, it was gradually worn out and trampled at this time, and it could no longer hide the sound of horses' hooves like thunder.
"Kill!"
Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, wielded the family heirloom god soldier pine pattern ancient ingot knife, roared suddenly, and issued an order for a general attack, and after the elite knights of the Sun family army behind him got the order, they began to control the speed of the horse to change the formation, and the originally boundless goose-shaped formation shrank into an arrow formation in a blink of an eye.
Sun Jian rushed to the tip of the battle formation, the four Jiangdong Huchen followed to the left and right, and behind him were the elite cavalry of the even long level, at least the force of ten enemies, it can be said that they are the elite of the elite.
At the same time, the Xiliang army, under the leadership of Li Su and Zhao Cen, easily attacked Liangdong County, but unexpectedly found that there was not much resistance, and the soldiers of the Sun family army seemed to have been prepared, and did not stay in the temporary camp to sleep, but occupied the favorable terrain to resist strongly, and there was no city gate broken at all, and the morale instantly fell to the trough of embarrassment.
It was Li Su's idea to attack Liangdong County at night, and he couldn't admit that he was calculated, so even if he saw that this trip might fall into the trap of Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, the commander-in-chief of Bishui, Wenhou Lu Bu, who was in charge of transporting grain and grass, still hoped that Xiliang Tieqi would be able to fight back.
When Sun Jian's terrifying roar came from outside the city, Li Su was surprised and delighted to find that he had indeed been ill-thinking and had fallen victim to the poisonous plan of the Jiangdong Tiger, but he believed that he could do the trick and successfully turn the tables and capture or kill Sun Jian.
It's a pity that the next development of events is completely out of Li Su's control, Sun Jian held the family heirloom god soldier Loose Pattern Ancient Ingot Knife Knife and cut out the sword qi, and cut the twelve Xiliang Iron Cavalry together with the weak Liangdong County Gate, and cut them into tattered pieces, and the elite knights of the Sun family army were greatly boosted, and quickly passed through the city gate to attack Liangdong County.
No matter who dares to block in front of the Tiger of Jiangdong, even a hundred generals who are rare in the Xiliang Army, it is difficult to defeat Sun Jian and the four tiger ministers under his command.
In this way, the elite of the Sun family army opened the way in front, and this extremely sharp arrow, with a momentum like a bamboo, tore open the shell that became relatively weak after the large-scale expansion of the Xiliang army, and directly took the core of this night attack army, the grain officer of Bishui Pass, and Li Su, the cavalry captain.
Such a simple and clear tactic was always successful in the grassland beasts during the strong period of the Han Empire, but when it was used in the troubled times when the warlords and princes attacked each other, I don't know if it would work.
The Xiliang army expanded its army in the capital Luoyang, although in order to avoid the intervention of the gate valve, which led to the change of the army's foundation, and the selection of elite and strong among the displaced people, it was also good wine and good food on weekdays, and the salary and silver rewards were constantly maintained, but when these half-old and new Xiliang soldiers collided with Sun Jian, who had no scruples, and the Sun family army under his command, the weakness that had been hidden by the prestige of the Xiliang army was suddenly exposed to everyone.
Everyone is fighting on their own, everyone is desperately trying to save themselves, everyone is planning for defeat, and they are ready to leave Liangdong County at any time to avoid being swept into the battlefield of flesh and blood.
Li Su finally discovered that the Xiliang soldiers who had expanded their army on a large scale had exposed fatal weaknesses in actual combat, and he could no longer control the chaotic recruits, but tried his best to gather the veterans, and gathered them together, and moved in the direction of another captain, Zhao Cen, preparing to unite the elite archers and infantry under his command to fight their way out of the trap arranged by the enemy.
He thought in his heart: "If you break through smoothly and one person goes back to be punished, it is better for the two to share the burden, at least you can save your life." ”
On the chaotic battlefield, there were many redundant people in front of Li Su, and he couldn't help but cut them all down, drove his horse away, and marched in the direction of Commander Zhao Cen.
However, when he finally arrived at his destination, he suddenly found that this colleague, who was low-key by nature and did not compete with others, was still facing difficulties above him, and the only nearby passage and gap had been blocked by an unfamiliar force.
The huge "Liu" character red flag, under the reflection of the firelight, was hunted by the sudden night wind, and the experience of fighting against the barbarians under this banner made Li Su feel hot on his face, as if he had been slapped a few times.
However, he quickly remembered Dong Zhuo's deep kindness, he was born in Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, and was not a descendant of Dong Jun in Liangzhou, but he was still given a heavy responsibility, and the shame in Li Su's heart quickly faded, and in a blink of an eye, his mentality and fighting spirit returned to normal, and with the successive deaths of the veterans under his command, he became cold and hard.
The Zhangba Snake Spear slashed through the icy trajectory in mid-air, easily taking the lives of one veteran's veteran of the Western Liang Army one after another. The Glaive Knife showed a clear light, just a simple slash, cut, pick and other moves, as fast as mowing grass to kill the strange and familiar faces around him.
"These people...... These people are very familiar, I once saw them at the banquet in the Dong Mansion. By the way, they are the sworn brothers of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande after King Jing of Zhongshan. ”
Li Su stretched out his halberd and pointed at it, and suddenly remembered the details of the third-party forces that had just entered the country by blocking the west gate of Liangdong County, making the Xiliang army suffer from the enemy, but what could he do if he could recognize it, he couldn't change his night attack at all, but fell into the predicament in the trap of the Sun and Liu coalition forces.
At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly appeared beside Liu Bei, raised his right hand casually, didn't want to talk to Li Su, the commander of the Xiliang Army, and silently threw out a skull without a jaw.
Liangdong County, which had become a battlefield, was extremely chaotic, but this skull kept rolling forward with great spirituality, avoiding countless human legs and hooves along the way, until it came to Li Su's mount, the curly-haired green horse.
Ye Zhiqiu raised his hands, stretched out his index finger to plug his ears, and opened his mouth slightly. Uncle Liu Huang was blessed to follow it with his heart, and imitated it according to the gourd painting. As soon as the action was in place, the "flying bone" containing a large amount of yin qi and five poisonous juices broke out in an instant.
"Boom", thunder broke out on the ground, and the turquoise phosphorus fire instantly rose into the sky, and the broad abdomen of the curly-haired green horse was swept by the shock wave, directly leaving a skeleton, and the flesh and blood splattered in all directions after peeling off were deadly and highly poisonous, even if they were sprinkled on the pig iron forging armor, they would easily corrode out of the pits.
As for the main owner Li Su himself, although he had a mount to block it, and he had the intuition of a martial artist, at the moment before the explosion of flying bones, his feet broke away from the stirrups and made a movement to avoid rolling over, but unfortunately his reaction was not fast enough, and the parts below the knee were swept by the yin aura, and in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood separated, turning into carbon powder that would be shattered with a pinch.
Ye Zhiqiu was a little excited when he saw the suffocating loopholes on the staggered front, but his face did not show it, and he hurriedly shouted: "Li Su is dead, those who abandon weapons and surrender will not be killed!"
