Chapter 88: Besieged (2)
Li Fengyun and Du Ruyue glanced at each other, how could he not remember the Tiger Ben token, but the Tiger Ben token had already been given to the poor scholar Wang Xianqi by Li Fengyun as garbage, and Gongsun Wuwu also laughed at Li Fengyun because of this, and asked him to take the time to go to the Tongfu Inn and apologize to Zhou Zongyun. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This person suddenly mentioned this matter, I don't know what it means.
"That tiger token, I, I gave it to a friend," Li Fengyun stammered, "He wants to come to the Central Plains, and he doesn't know martial arts, and the world is so chaotic, so I gave it to him for protection." ”
Dian Kui smiled: "I know, that piece of Tiger Ben Token Tiance Mansion has been recovered, Shaoxia, please rest assured, that friend is also safe, I heard that he has been voted to the door of Liu Zhiyuan, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and it is said that he is very important." ”
Li Fengyun breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "That poor scholar surnamed Wang really has some ability!"
Dian Kui said: "It's not a secret, whether it is Juyi Hall or Xiaoyao Hall, in fact, it is one of the nine halls under the Tiance Mansion, Tiance Mansion only has a total of ten Tiger Ben Orders, the Mansion Master and the nine Hall Masters each have one, this Tiger Ben Token is not only a symbol of status, but also can directly mobilize the manpower of each hall with it, the stakes are very important, Tiance Mansion has to take it back, and I hope that the young man is not strange." ”
With the Tiger Ben Order, the manpower of each hall can be directly mobilized, what does it mean? Li Fengyun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, which meant that if this Tiger Ben Order fell into the hands of people with bad intentions, it would be a catastrophe for the Tiance Mansion. The favor Zhou Zongyun gave him was really big. Gongsun Wuwu is right, he does want to apologize to Zhou Zongyun.
Li Fengyun hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I didn't know that this token had such a big relationship, I ......"
Dian Kui said with a smile: "It's not about the young man, after all, it was Hall Master Zhou who didn't explain and understand, so he caused this misunderstanding, but fortunately, the tiger order has been withdrawn, and nothing happened." ”
He looked at the Khitan elite cavalry who came over again, and said in a low voice: "Li Shaoxia, your people don't seem to be proficient in marching and fighting, so they can't stop the Khitans." If Shaoxia trusts me, it's better to do this, Shaoxia will hand over his subordinates to me, me and my brothers, in the end, still know how to march and set up the formation, not to mention that they will definitely be able to block the Khitans, but they can still drag him for an hour or two. ”
When Li Fengyun heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, just ask a few people, damn it, if you want me to go into battle and kill, I won't say a word, but I don't know what kind of formation I want to arrange." ”
He also shouted to everyone and asked everyone to obey Dian Kui's command and arrangement.
Dian Kui really had some ability, and hurriedly ordered everyone to dig deep and shallow small pits on the slower side of the hill. He also ordered the trees to be cut down, and urgently made a few simple horses to block the slope.
There are more than 300 young people on the mountain, and they will do these simple jobs very quickly.
It's just a matter of rejecting the horse, those pit Li Fengyun was very puzzled, and asked, "What's the use of this?"
Dian Kui said with a smile: "These pits are so that the horses of the Khitan people cannot run fast, once the horse's legs fall into these pits, they will definitely be broken, and the horse will not be able to run at speed, and the more they can not reject the horse, the cavalry without speed is simply a target, a few sharpened wooden sticks can stab him to death."
Therefore, the best way for the Khitans is to abandon their horses and go into battle on foot.
Without a horse, the strength of the Khitan elite rider will drop by more than half, but it is much easier to deal with.
It's a pity that the time is too short, if you dig another trench, it will be perfect, and the Khitan Tartars can only rely on human life. ”
Li Fengyun was happy to hear this, and laughed and said: "That's enough! Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, is the Tartar really three heads and six arms not afraid of death?"
Dian Kui nine people, everyone can shoot arrows with a bow, each took a bow, and the more than ten people who shot arrows were specially organized into a team, led by a person named Zhang Jun.
He also reorganized the other young and strong, and pulled out more than 100 people who had practiced martial arts, each equipped with slightly better weapons, as the backbone, led by Li Fengyun. The rest of the men stood behind the horse, and stood in front with spears and sticks, and the rest behind them, commanding them to pick up spears and sticks and fill them as soon as those in front of them fell.
Those old and weak women and children, Dian Kui did not let go, let them dismantle the vehicle, use broken branches and vines, and urgently make rudimentary shields.
At this time, the Khitan elite rider stopped two miles away from the mountain bag and surrounded the entire mountain bag. Looking at that, there are more than 1,000 people.
I saw the Khitan general at the head of the team looked at the situation around a little, I don't know what to say, with a wave of his hand, more than 50 elite horsemen came out of the team, the general who led the team whistled, and more than 50 horsemen slipped through the smoke and dust, and rushed straight towards the south-facing hillside.
Li Fengyun was puzzled and asked, "Why did they stop so far away? Why did they send so many people?"
Qu Kui explained: "They didn't run, the cavalry attacked, the faster the speed, the more powerful, really let the horses run fast, no need to fight, relying on the strength of the horses alone, it is enough to break the formation." For a horse to be able to run at speed, it takes about a mile or two. That's why they stop a mile or two away.
The range of this hillside is not large, and the horses have to keep a distance from each other, and there are at most five or six horses running in front of them, and a team of fifty people is enough, and no matter how much, even if they rush up the mountain, the horses will not be able to exert themselves, and the effect will not be good if they affect each other.
Li Shaoxia, don't underestimate these fifty elite horsemen, if they are really rushed up, it will be useless to double the number of us.
These Tartars, they underestimate us too much, and they dare to charge easily without understanding the situation on the hillside?"
Li Fengyun listened, and a cold sweat broke out in his heart, it turned out that the night before yesterday, they were able to defeat the forty or fifty Khitan iron horsemen, a more important reason was because their horse speed was not raised, and their combat power was greatly reduced, otherwise, I was afraid that with just one charge, they could cut down the more than 20 remnants of the defeated soldiers led by Li Fengyun, and how could he still have a chance to save the people and turn defeat into victory.
When I was in a trance, I only heard Qu Kui shouting loudly: "Don't panic, don't be afraid, Tartars are also people, a shot is also a blood hole, calm, calm, steady the gun, steady, the tip of the gun forward, stay for a while The Tartar rushes up, there is no strength, everyone just stab them, just like stabbing them to death, the saber of the Tartar is short, and it can't reach everyone!"
Li Fengyun came back to his senses, only to find that many people in the team, their legs and stomachs were trembling, too, they were all crop men, when had they seen this, not to mention them, even Li Fengyun himself, heard the iron hooves of the fifty horsemen beating on the ground like a drum, knocking on the ground trembling slightly, and his heart was a little uneasy.
It was only then that Li Fengyun realized that he had made a mistake, he actually forgot to boost everyone's morale before the war, but it seemed that he didn't need to do it, the big black man Dian Kui had already done a good job.
The fifty horsemen gradually picked up speed, and in a short time they rushed down the hillside, roaring, waving their sabers, and pounced.
How do you know that they didn't run a few steps, the horses in front of them suddenly fell to the ground, and the cavalry on the horses was swept out, and if they were lucky, they broke their necks directly, and they died, and if they were unlucky, they didn't wait for them to stand up, and the back of the fine riders had crossed the horses that fell in front, and the iron hooves trampled on their backs, and the stomachs were suddenly trampled to the stomach, and they couldn't die for a while.
It's no wonder that the Khitan people behind are ruthless, and if they want to hit the war horse at full speed, they want to make an avoidance action, which is almost impossible, and if they are not careful, they will crash into the formation, and they will fall off the horse, and it is impossible to slow down.
Moreover, the cavalry that followed closely at this time was also difficult to protect themselves, and as soon as they rushed a few steps, their mounts also fell to the ground suddenly like the former, and several more cavalrymen were used to it.
"There is a trap!" After losing more than a dozen elite horsemen, the Khitans finally discovered that there was something strange.
"The southern barbarians are cunning, and there are pitfalls in the ground!" someone shouted.
"Spread out, spread out, you can't rush!" someone shouted.
The Khitan elite horsemen pulled their horses' heads one after another, and turned around from both sides. But there were still more than a dozen horses that could not be controlled, rushed up the hillside, and the horses' hooves fell into the pit and broke, and they fell on the hillside.
Seeing this, Li Fengyun flew over joy, jumped out of the horse, pounced on a Khitan soldier who was thrown to pieces, and cut off his head with a single sword. Seeing this, Du Ruyue also followed, and the more than 100 backbones behind him were willing to lag behind, and rushed out one after another, rushing the rejection horse into a mess, and driving dozens of young men who guarded the rejection horse also rushed down. Others were at a loss and didn't know whether to rush down or not.
Those Khitan soldiers who were thrown to the ground and survived could not withstand the violent beating of these people, and in the blink of an eye, they were drowned in the crowd and cut into meat sauce.
Dian Kui stood on the hillside with a wry smile, at this time, if the Khitan people came back to their senses and rushed back again, they were afraid that this hillside would no longer be able to hold on. Fortunately, those Khitans did not look back and did not notice this, although the Khitan Tatars in the distance saw it, but the distance was too far to deploy an attack.
Li Fengyun looked at the horses and corpses all over the ground, his heart moved, and he shouted: "Everyone killed all the injured horses, and even the corpses of those Tartars were carried up together, and they were stacked up, and the Khitan Tartars couldn't rush if they wanted to." ”
After listening to Li Fengyun's words, everyone started one after another, and nearly 200 people took action to carry the horses and the corpses of the Tartars on the hillside onto the mountain bag.
The corpses of the Tartars and the horses were stacked behind the rejection of the horses, and under the guidance of Dian Kui, the original incomplete defense line was completed, leaving only a gap on the side that only allowed one person to enter and exit.
There was a burst of cheers on the hill, and in this burst, a total of twenty-eight elite horsemen were killed, but none of them were damaged, and everyone couldn't help but boost their morale. More importantly, Li Fengyun also obtained twenty-eight sets of leather armor, fifty or sixty weapons, more than ten complete bows, more than two hundred arrows, more than twenty small shields, and twenty-eight war horse carcasses that could be used as food.
The Khitan general two miles away was obviously very angry, and beat the more than 20 Khitan elite horsemen who fled back with a horsewhip, and ordered someone to take them down.
