That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1252

The wind howled and the banners swept across.

A black and gold banner above the city of Zhongdu was buzzing, and under the banner, there were only two figures, one big and one small.

An immortal sword is hung on the waist of the adult, and the sword case is carried on the back of the boy.

After seeing this scene, countless defenders in the city felt very at ease.

Because this person single-handedly quelled General Xu, the king of Liao on the grassland and the king of Wei in the south of the Yangtze River, and now General Xu is in the northwest.

How can the Northwest be invincible!

Under the head of the city, Zhang Wubing had already returned to the army formation. With a wave of his hand, the northwestern army sounded horns, and the decisive battle between the two sides kicked off.

The Northwest Army is famous for its 23 cavalry, and the grasslands are full of cavalry.

Almost at the same time, tens of thousands of cavalry covered the entire land, and if viewed from the top of the city, it was black and dense, like locusts passing through.

Amidst the frightening sound of horseshoes, the two armies collided with each other in a state of chaos beyond recognition.

Almost at the same time, the vanguards of the two armies were like mud and paper, and disappeared instantly after turning over a few insignificant waves, while the follow-up cavalry continued to rush forward until they became a mess. A huge swirling quagmire.

After the two armies were completely entangled, the next step was the most tragic slaughter.

After a northwest cavalry sent his spear into the chest of a prairie cavalry, before he had time to draw his gun, another prairie cavalry who passed by sideways smashed his head. He was shot off the horse by the northwest cavalry who came behind, and then the horse's hoof trampled on his chest, and he couldn't die anymore.

The soldier of the Northwest Army, who had defeated the prairie cavalry, continued to charge forward with his gun, pierced the enemy's chest with another shot, then let go of the spear in his hand, drew out his saber and continued to charge forward, but his luck ended here. An oncoming Prairie Army cavalry slashed the saber in his hand, and then the two cavalry passed by. The Northwest Army cavalry turned into a corpse and rolled off the horse.

Some cavalry jumped up and threw the enemy off their horses, and they died under the hooves of the horses together.

Two riders also collided and died on the spot.

And after falling off the horse, he cut off the enemy's horse's leg before dying.

The two armies strangled each other, far less dazzled than the earth immortal cultivators fighting each other. In an instant, the difference between life and death was decided.

There are people shouting horses neighing everywhere, the sound of swords and guns colliding, the screams and wailing before death, the dull sound of horseshoes stepping on the corpse, the sound of blades cutting into the human body, all the sounds are intertwined, like hell on earth.

This cavalry battle, in which the two sides invested more than 10 troops, was destined to be a result of mutual losses.

This is a battle without any flukes.

Lin Han, who was watching the battle from behind, looked indifferent, and said, "Let Lin Shu put on armor."

A Taiji asked in a deep voice: "King Khan, do you really want to use the five thousand heavy cavalry? We have no shortage of cavalry in the grasslands, what we lack is iron weapons. We can get enough for the five thousand heavy cavalry, but it took a lot of thought." , Now those merchants are afraid to deal with us anymore, if the five thousand heavy horses are lost here, it will be difficult to build them up again."

Lin Han said in a deep voice: "It is to use the lives of these 5000 people to destroy the Northwest Army in one go."

The Taiji made a big promise.

After Lin Shu received the military order, his expression was calm, and then he began to put on his armor silently like an ordinary soldier.

Seeing this scene, Tai Ji, who was in charge of delivering orders, asked in surprise, "Fourth prince, who is this?"

Lin Shu said softly, "Supervise the battle."

Taiji's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Fourth Prince, absolutely not, you are..."

Lin Shu interrupted him: "There is nothing wrong."

……

Almost at the same time, Zhang Wubing also started to reorganize the army.

This is a heavy cavalry with both men and horses in armor.

Lin Han has a heavy cavalry army, which may be considered a secret to others, but it is not a secret to Zhang Wubing who has been fighting on the grassland for a long time.As the Northwest Army guarding the Northwest Gate, they vigorously stocked up heavy cavalry, pushing themselves against each other. Zhang Wubing didn't believe that Lin Han didn't have such thoughts.

Although it costs a lot to raise a heavy cavalry, it can turn the tide of the battle at critical moments.When is the moment of truth?For Lin Han, that's it for now.

The heavy cavalry even only need to hold the weapons in their hands tightly, and rely on the huge power of the charge to easily cut the enemy. Therefore, on the frontal battlefield, only the heavy cavalry can deal with the heavy cavalry.

The grassland army has heavy cavalry, and the northwest army naturally has heavy cavalry, and it is also the best among the five imperial guards, with a total of [-] cavalry.

Now Zhang Wubing wanted to personally lead these ten thousand heavy cavalry into the battlefield.

Wen Ci, who was beside Zhang Wubing, persuaded him bitterly: "You can't do it, you are the commander of an army. How can you be caught in the battlefield? Since ancient times, there has never been an enemy of ten thousand on the battlefield. If you have an accident, this Are you still fighting?"

Zhang Wubing said noncommittally: "There is also a General Xu in the city."

Wen Ci said earnestly: "General Xu is indeed a god, but he has never been good at leading troops in battle. If anything happens to you, the morale of the whole army will immediately drop to the bottom. It will fall apart.”

Zhang Wubing still did not change his mind, took the reins from his attendant, got on the horse, and said in a deep voice, "Get on the horse!"

Because the heavy cavalry army has both men and horses wearing armor, in order to ensure the physical strength of the men and horses, there will be special auxiliary horses to help consign the armor in normal times, and they will not wear armor until the battle begins.

After the heavy cavalry mounted their horses one after another, Zhang Wubing took a spear and said to the white-haired veteran Wen Ci: "Although you look older than me, in fact I am more than ten years older than you." Years old, considering my age, this will probably be the last battle of my life, no matter whether I win or lose, I have to enjoy myself to the fullest. To put it bluntly, if I lose, I, Zhang Wubing, will also die in a deadly battle."

As soon as Zhang Wubing said this, Wen Ci was speechless.

Zhang Wubing said seriously: "Wen Ci listens to the order!"

Wen Ci subconsciously knelt down on one knee, "The end is here!"

Zhang Wubing said: "The governor ordered you to sit in the central army and be in charge of command and dispatch."

Wen Ci hesitated for a moment, and said word by word: "The last general takes orders!"

Zhang Wubing didn't speak any more, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he rode forward slowly.

Wen Ci stood where he was, watching a group of cavalry rumble to the battlefield.

Almost at the same time, the two horns sounded like a sudden sob that echoed each other, majestic and sad.

The next moment, two heavy cavalry armies rushed into the battlefield with arrogance.

The horizontal front lines of both sides were equal in length, but Zhang Wubing's heavy cavalry had a greater depth because of their superior numbers.

The two sides collided loudly, like two torrents of steel colliding head-on, which was more bloody than fighting with light cavalry.

But in just half an hour, there were as many as [-] casualties.

Zhang Wubing was covered in blood.

Xu Beiyou on the top of the city stepped onto the battlements, and then flew out of the city.
