Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Burning of Xiongguan
"The front is Zhongguan, and according to the spies, the three major armies of the Dongshan Kingdom are also meeting fifty miles away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" King Wuliang looked at the pass in front of him and said to Li Yanliang beside him.
The pass ahead is called Zhongguan. The geographical location of Zhongguan is in the most central place of Xia Zeguo, and it is also the largest pass in Xia Ze country.
The army of Dongshan sent troops from the north, west, and east, and met at Zhongguan on the way.
And King Wuliang knew that the two armies would meet in Zhongguan, and still set off in three ways, because he did not understand the speed of the other party's march, if the opponent's march accelerated, then it was very likely that the troops would continue to march in three ways after arriving at Zhongguan, and if King Wuliang only sent one line of soldiers and horses, the number of his own army would be small, and then he would not be able to take into account the other two teams of the enemy's separate soldiers and horses, and there would be no reinforcements later, the enemy army could directly attack the imperial capital Yanliang City and destroy the old nest.
King Wuliang separated the three armies and moved forward quickly, and finally took the lead in meeting at Zhongguan.
The 800,000 red-robed iron cavalry army, led by King Wuliang and eight deputy generals, plus the prince Li Yanliang, the whole army is united in resisting the enemy, and has experienced countless victories, the whole army is full of momentum, full of confidence, and is not afraid of the opponent's 1.8 million army at all.
Although the other side has an army of more than one million, this undefeated army does not have the slightest fear of the enemy, and is full of fighting spirit.
However, this time, the equipment of the 800,000 red-robed iron cavalry was different from the past, and the previous army was equipped with all spears and iron shields. This time, not only did they carry their spears and shields, but each soldier added a pair of bows and arrows, and each wore a log on their horses.
After several days of marching, heavy snow fell, obscuring the original appearance of Zhongguan.
The front was covered with snow, and 800,000 elite iron horsemen rushed out, mighty and imposing.
Before reaching Zhongguan, 800,000 iron cavalry instantly stood still, and their movements were the same, which showed that the name of the first strong army in the empire was well deserved.
King Wuliang rode an iron-blooded war horse that had accompanied him in the battle for more than 20 years, and rushed in front of the army, accompanied by eight deputy generals and Li Yanliang.
Eight lieutenants, each with their own characteristics.
Vice-Admiral Zuo Changlong is good at dancing spears, and once had a heroic record of killing thirteen people with one shot and killing a white elephant with one shot.
The most famous battle was a small-scale ambush of the enemy, with three spears on his body and two machetes hanging on his shoulders, he still overturned more than 300 enemy people, and finally rode back to the army's camp on his horse. This courage and courage are a miracle, and no one has been matched to this day.
In addition to these two generals, there are also the pioneer deputy general Mar Sai, who has superb riding skills, Song Yunfei, who has accurate archery, and the Yang family brothers who are excellent in martial arts, respectively, Yang Yi, Yang Bo, Yang Yun, and Yang Tian brothers.
The eight lieutenant generals of King Wuliang, any one of them is selected to make more meritorious contributions and have stronger skills than other generals in the court today. But they were willing to be the lieutenant generals of King Wuliang, and they never had the idea of climbing the ranks.
On the battlefield, the eight people did their best to assist King Wuliang, and on weekdays, King Wuliang was commensurate with the eight deputy general brothers. They are already iron-blooded brothers who have experienced countless lives and deaths.
King Wuliang jumped down from his war horse, stood on top of Xiongguan with dignity, and said to the eight lieutenant generals beside him: "Brothers, do you know why this king is confident this time and treats the enemy's 1.8 million army as if it were nothing?"
Marseille, the deputy general of the vanguard, wondered: "Yes, we almost suffered a defeat in the ice armor male soldiers, and that time it was when the two sides were evenly matched, but this time they were more than us by a million, why did the general be confident?"
King Wuliang smiled: "When I went out on the expedition, I asked the soldiers to cut down trees, and each of them wore a long log and a bow and arrow, and at that time you asked me why I asked the soldiers to wear the extra wooden sticks. I'm going to tell you about it today, because this time I'm going to attack with fire. And those wooden sticks are the materials for making fire!"
Vice General Song Yunfei nodded and said, "Fire attack is a good way to restrain the ice armor heroes, otherwise their fine steel armor is really hard to break." It's just that on this snowy day, where to make a fire?"
Vice Admiral Zuo laughed and said, "Brother Yunfei, have you forgotten that our Royal Highness is the best at using fire?"
At this time, the eight deputy generals looked at Li Yanliang at the same time, and then burst into laughter, all excited.
Li Yanliang also chuckled: "I didn't expect that the first time I followed my father to lead troops to fight, it would play such a key role. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince is too modest, you are young and promising, you are really the envy of our old bones!" Han Wei, the right deputy general, laughed, then looked back at the mighty army of 800,000 behind him, and shouted: "Brothers, it is a blessing for everyone to have such a commander as King Wuliang and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World." The Winter Mountain Kingdom took the opportunity to enter at the time of civil strife in my Xia Ze Empire, but they didn't know that they had miscalculated themselves and underestimated the power of our red-robed iron cavalry. This time, this group of arrogant people will never return, and avenge the soldiers who died guarding the frontier!"
"The red-robed iron horseman is invincible! Everywhere he passes, not a single grass grows!"
Han Wei shouted a slogan, and the 800,000 army immediately shouted with him, and the momentum was shocking, and the air was full of energy!
Now that the morale of the army has been ignited, the 800,000 red-robed iron cavalry can no longer bear the will to fight, and they can't wait for the arrival of the enemy.
In the wind and snow, above the Xiongguan, 800,000 red-robed iron horsemen stood in a neat row, like a red dragon, red as blood, which was their immortal banner.
About an hour later, a mighty enemy army appeared in front of me.
800,000 versus 1,800,000, no one has any intention of winning. Only King Wuliang has this confidence, he believes in his army, and he believes in his son.
On the opposite side, the three commanders of Telt, Goodwin, and Muzuo'e stood in front of the army, and Telt bore the brunt of the attack, shouting provocatively towards King Wuliang, with an extremely arrogant attitude.
"King Wuliang, today you are already at the end of your rope, and with your 800,000 troops, you also want to stop my million male soldiers? In the words of your Xia Zeguo, it is a grasshopper shaking the tree! You killed my brother with your own hands back then, and today you will die without a place to be buried!"
In the face of Telt's provocation, King Wuliang smiled faintly, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted, "Kill me!" The 800,000 army suddenly rushed over.
For a while, the sound of killing was everywhere, the horses neighed and the bears roared, and the confrontation was fierce.
Looking down, I saw a mixture of blood-red and ice-like white, which was the color of the red-robed iron rider and the ice-armored male soldier.
However, as soon as King Wuliang rushed to the opposite side of the enemy army with his army, he gave the order to retreat. Telt laughed even more wildly, and Goodwin and Mu Zuo'e also laughed, just because King Wuliang was afraid.
"Throw the sticks and prepare for the fire attack!" King Wuliang led the soldiers to retreat to the mountains on both sides, raised his hands, and shouted, and the soldiers immediately waved the sticks in their hands and threw them at the enemy.
At this time, the enemy army was excitedly pursuing, and there was no intention of retreating at all. But when the red-robed Iron Cavalry threw out his clubs, Telt's keen sense of the battlefield immediately felt the atmosphere of conspiracy. He immediately ordered the army to stop the pursuit, but it was too late.
King Wuliang retreated to the mountains on both sides of the pass, in order to attract the enemy to chase, and now the enemy army is attracted to a close place, and his army is in a high place, the wooden sticks thrown by the soldiers rolled towards the enemy army, Li Yanliang saw this opportunity, immediately used the true qi, performed fire skills, ignited the wooden sticks that rolled down from the mountain, and the fire burned, forcing the enemy to retreat quickly.
However, how could King Wuliang give the other party a chance to escape, and after Li Yanliang lit the wooden sticks thrown by the soldiers, he quickly flew up and lit a flame near his own army.
Immediately, the soldiers set fire to the arrows in their hands, drew their longbows, and fired rockets, blocking the enemy's retreat.
In this way, under the front and back of the fire sticks and rockets, the enemy had nowhere to escape. They wanted to use ice and snow to extinguish the fire, but Li Yanliang would not give them a chance, he intensified his true qi, and sent out a raging fire, falling from the sky, the fire became more and more intense, and he could only hear the screams of the enemy soldiers on the battlefield, which was deafening.
Seeing this, the red-robed iron cavalry soldiers standing on the mountain all shouted excitedly, 800,000 defeated 1.8 million enemy troops, and they did it! Moreover, their own wounded soldiers were only about 1,000 people who were charging ahead, and even zero deaths! Such a record can be described as a miracle, and no one thought that this battle would be a great victory for the Xia Ze Congress!
After this battle, as Liu Wenbo said, once King Wuliang led the army to triumphantly pass, then Xia Zeguo will be like a phoenix, and the ****** and thieves have fled from other countries or been killed by Emperor Xia Liang.
At this moment, no matter how brave the Ice Armor Heroes, the Falcon March, and the Blizzard Elite Soldiers were, they couldn't stop the flames.
Seeing that there was no way out, Telt led his army towards the red-robed iron cavalry.
Li Yanliang faced Telt who rushed forward, blocked in front of his father, and said loudly: "Father killed Telz back then, let his son kill his brother Telt today!"
"Go, this is your time to stand up, let the warriors see what you are capable of!" King Wuliang laughed and encouraged his son.
Li Yanliang tidied up his robe, held his spear high, faced Talter who was about to rush to the opposite side, roared angrily, stood up with a spear in his hand, flew away, brandished the spear, and directly pierced Tert's chest with lightning speed.
Talter spat blood from his mouth, his eyes widened with rage, and he died so suddenly that he didn't know why the young man in front of him was able to pierce his steel ice armor.
Li Yanliang was originally a monk, and he had heard his father say that the armor worn by the ice armor soldiers was extremely defensive, and ordinary spears could not break through it at all. So this time, Li Yanliang did not retain any spare strength, and while wielding the spear, he used his true qi, and with the blessing of the true qi, the spear pierced Telt's armor.
Seeing that Telt was killed by Li Yanliang, the enemy troops were immediately frightened and fled in all directions. Goodwin and Mu Zuo'e, who were still arrogant before that, were also so frightened that they threw away their armor and fled.
Li Yanliang wanted to chase and kill the two, but was stopped by King Wuliang.
"Let the two of them go back, or no one will report to their king." In the country of Winter Mountain, only Telt is qualified to be my opponent, and no one else has anything to fear. And the country of Dongshan is vast and sparsely populated, they sent 1.8 million elite soldiers to the expedition this time, it can be regarded as a bloody capital, looking at the current situation, the surviving enemy soldiers are only tens of thousands, and there are some surviving white bears, this is also the scarce force of our Xia Ze country, they should not all be killed, they have become prisoners, capture them all. King Wuliang couldn't hide his joy, and said to the eight lieutenant generals and his son beside him.
At this time, Li Yanliang flew into the air and shouted at the enemy: "Put down your arms, surrender and don't kill, if there is resistance, there will be no forgiveness!"
The enemy immediately laid down his arms and surrendered.
"The prince is invincible, and His Highness is mighty!"
The red-robed iron cavalry shouted and shouted at the same time, and the momentum shook the mountains.
