Han Dao world

Chapter 83
Li Shi raised his head and looked at the flying emperor's banner, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He handed over the whip to his right hand, and gently wiped the horse's mane with his right hand.

My hands are a bit sweaty recently, especially today.

The heartbeat is also a little irregular, shortness of breath, and a feeling of being out of breath.

He looked around guiltily, afraid that others would see his nervousness.

Fortunately, like him, everyone else was attracted by the sound of war drums in the distance, and no one paid attention to him.

"Don't look at it." Li Shi shouted, pointing with a whip. "You, you, follow me to the first round. You, you, the second round..."

After hearing this, the generals of hundreds of people pulled their horses back to the formation without saying anything.

Li Shi wants to take the lead in the battle, there is nothing to argue about, it will depend on Li Shi's ability at that time.

Li Shi was a little excited.

This is the first time he has taken the lead since leading the Flying Bear Army.

The opponent is very special, but the difficulty is not great, and success is within reach.

He turned to his personal guards and said loudly: "Go to the battle today and capture the little emperor alive. Those who make meritorious deeds will each be rewarded with a woman from the Guandong region, ten cows, a hundred sheep, and a hundred mu of high-quality fertile land near Chang'an."

The guards got excited when they heard this.

The world is in chaos, what is the most valuable?

It's not the Kanto women, nor the cattle and sheep, but the fertile land near Chang'an.

These lands have sufficient water sources. Even though there was a severe drought in Sanfu last year, and large tracts of land failed to harvest due to lack of water, the fertile fields near Chang'an still had sufficient water to irrigate to ensure harvests.

Although Chang'an was sparsely populated and a lot of land was abandoned, these good fields were all occupied by the generals, and ordinary people had no chance to get their hands on them.

This one hundred mu of land is worth more than herds of cattle and sheep, and the harvest is guaranteed in drought and flood.

With this one hundred mu of land, they can live a small life without worrying about food and clothing in the future.

"Wish to kill the enemy with the young master."

"Only the young master follows the lead."

The personal guards shouted in one go, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic, which made Li Shi more confident.

He didn't dare to fully trust the soldiers of the Feixiong Army, but he could trust these personal guards.

This is the part of his Li family, and it is also his personal part.

"Let's go!" Li Shi turned his horse and began to trot, demonstrating around the formation to let the horse warm up.

The personal guards followed closely, and a brave man rushed to the front of Li Shi to open the way for Li Shi.

The cavalry charge will inevitably face the shooting of bows and crossbows, and the blocking of spears and halberds. The person who rushes to the front is also the most dangerous, and the credit for victory is also the greatest.

This is the position that only true warriors are qualified to occupy.

The flag bearer unfurled the small flag and followed closely behind Li Shi.

The orderly moved the snare drum to his chest, struck the snare drum, and issued an order to assemble and prepare to rush out.

Li Shi galloped his horse, his body heaved up and down with the gallop of the horse, he was a little dizzy, but more excited, the blood in his whole body was agitated and rushed in the blood vessels.

"Follow me—"

Li Shi drew out his long knife and roared loudly.

Two teams of cavalry rushed out of the position, followed Li Shi's pace, and spread their wings behind Li Shi.

Li Shi went around the formation, returned to the front of the formation, turned his horse's head, and ran towards Shisun Rui's position.

In order to save horsepower, the horse does not run very fast.

For the first time, it is more of a test. In addition to observing the opponent's position at close range, it is also necessary to look at the opponent's reaction and analyze where it may be a weak link.

The infantry position composed of dense spears and halberds is a sharp weapon against the impact of cavalry, but not all infantry can do it. Only the real elite can suppress the fear of cavalry and keep the formation intact.

Li Shi didn't think the guards led by Sun Rui had such strength.

Still two hundred steps away, he felt the tension and uneasiness of the guards on the opposite side, and seeing the vacillation of the front row of knives and spears, he couldn't help but sneer.

The thought of going all out in one go flashed through Li Shi's mind.

-

"Hold on, hold on!" Qu Junhou, who was facing Li Shi, yelled repeatedly, slapped the shoulders of the soldiers who were about to retreat with the long knife in his hand, and kicked their buttocks violently. "Take a deep breath and think about your wives, children and parents. Hold on to me!"

Qu Junhou on the adjacent position is also suppressing forcefully. "Don't be afraid, it's just a temptation. The more you are afraid of death, the faster you will die. The bold will die, and the timid will starve to death."

Even so, the soldiers were still very nervous, even Qu Junhou themselves could not control their emotions, and their voices trembled uncontrollably.

The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, the war horses gradually accelerated, and the pace of nearly three hundred riders became more and more regular. The earth trembled and became louder and louder, making everyone's heart rise and fall, and breathing became very difficult.

Before the horses rushing to the front came into range, the Shesheng Battalion in charge of covering the bows and crossbows fired the first rain of arrows.

Seeing those arrows falling to the ground feebly before reaching Li Shi, Captain Jujun of Shesheng was dizzy with anger, but he didn't dare to stop.

The war horse has already rushed, and there is no time to adjust the rhythm at this time, so I can only bite the bullet and go on.

"Send! Send!" Ju Jun covered his face with one hand, and waved violently with the other.

More crossbowmen fired together, and the archers who fired ahead of time followed closely behind, but the crossbowmen panicked. Some people even pulled the string three times, but failed to load the arrow.

The arrow formation was chaotic and did not achieve the desired effect at all, far from the uniformity during training.

Seeing Liu Xie from a distance, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and his heart sank continuously.

Ju Jun can be regarded as a captain with some ability, why is he at this level?

What power can this arrow array have? Even if it hits the target, it won't do much damage, right?
It's over, it's over.

If Shi Sunrui's subordinates are also so lazy, Li Shi is just a matter of charging, and the front line may completely collapse.

Liu Xie stretched his neck unconsciously, hoping to see Shi Sun Rui's position clearly.

Even if he was riding a horse, he could only see a black patch when looking from here, and he couldn't see any specific person at all.

But he saw Shi Sunrui's back.

Shi Sun Rui stood under the general's flag, his body was as straight as a pine, completely different from Ju Jun on the side of the Shesheng Battalion.

Liu Xie was inexplicably relieved.

After all, he is a person who has experienced real wars, and Shi Sun Rui is much stronger than Ju Jun.

Liu Xie took another look at the position of the infantry battalion on Sun Rui's left wing, and found that Wei Jie was also very calm, which gave him another two points of confidence.

These two veterans who had accompanied Gai Xun in suppressing the rebellion are his biggest reliance now.

"Your Majesty, Li Shi has passed." Shi A suddenly reminded.

Liu Xie withdrew his gaze and looked towards the front of the position.

Li Shi led the cavalry passing by, fifty or sixty steps away from the nearest infantry.The crossbowmen of the Shesheng Battalion were still firing, but most of the crossbows missed their targets and landed in the open space between the cavalry and infantry.

Several cavalry passed by from a closer place, the infantry were a little flustered, and Qu Junhou's shouts were also urgent.

A cavalry shot an arrow, and Qu Junhou, who was commanding, fell to the ground.

Seeing an opportunity, three or four riders swooped in like hungry wolves, crashing into the pawn formation.

Several pawns who were facing were knocked into the air, shaking the position.

A knight blew the horn to call for more reinforcements from his companions.

Liu Xie saw it clearly, his complexion changed drastically, and the heart that had just let go a little bit suddenly raised his throat again.
