The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 217 Xiliang Cavalry General Fu Daozhao

chirp chirp——

The noise of birds echoed in the mountains, amidst the sound of countless flapping wings, black flocks of birds rushed out of the foothills and circled under the gloomy sky.

The tens of thousands of cavalrymen on the winding road at the foot of the mountain were walking slowly, and suddenly saw the startled flock of birds, and the war horses gave an ominous premonition, and stamped their hooves restlessly on the spot.

"what happened"

"alert!"

"Stop, tell the people in front to stop. Hey, the ground is shaking, it's the cavalry—"

Various voices of suspicion and shouting were mixed together. Li Shunjie looked at the forest below the bird with a tacit understanding, as if there were hostile eyes looking from there, his lips were pursed, slightly opened, and he raised his hand. Changji: "Command, all run, don't stop!"

Amidst the buzzing noise, only a few could hear his voice. Some obeyed orders and urged their horses to run, while some still stood still and looked at the woods on the hillside ahead.

Below the countless flocks of birds across the sky, in the woods swaying in the wind, figures rode out slowly, lining up side by side along the edge of the woods, revealing shadowy silhouettes.

The leading general, a long soldier with a beast's mouth swallowing a blade, hangs obliquely on the ground, and the eight short spears on his back are shaking slightly with the restlessness of the horse under him. , looking down, the corners of his mouth grinning.

"Oh, Li Shunjie."

In an instant, both feet pinched the horse's belly, and the figure on the horse shouted loudly: "Kill——"

sigh -

The big black horse neighed and roared, and the iron hooves spun mud and gravel rushed down. Behind them, at the edge of the forest, war horses roared, and followed closely with their hooves, gradually picking up speed and galloping wildly.

The sound of hooves sounded like thunder, and rumbled across the ground. More Longyou cavalry rushed out of the forest, densely extending to the hillside. Hao Hao Tangtang swooped down, rushing towards the 'Long Dragon' where the road at the foot of the mountain gradually became chaotic.

On the mountain road that the marching team was slowly advancing, a huge group of cavalry swooped down mightily, and the horses in the dragon army raised their hooves in horror, swayed their manes, and uncontrollably wanted to throw the knights above them to the ground Get away from here.

"Run, tell the people in front to run—" Li Shunjie's voice was still screaming.

However, at this time, the sound was completely covered by the thunderous hoofbeats. He turned his horse around, and he knew very well that the cavalry standing still and the cavalry charging were completely different.

Not long into the army, the Longxiang Army has not experienced war.

Li Shunjie looked at the Longyou cavalry who swept down the hill like overwhelming, gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted at the five hundred guards beside him: "Keep a distance—"

As the voice fell, Li Shunjie raised his hand instinctively, and with a halberd, he slashed a short spear away. Looking over his eyes, a second black shadow flew over.

The Longyou cavalry who launched the charge were less than a hundred feet long. The leader dragged his long knife to the ground, and cut through the dirt with the other hand.

"Li Shunjie, I am Longyou Fu Daozhao—"

Raising his hand and grabbing back, the third short spear was drawn out, thrown, and flew straight to the opposite side.At the other end of the field of vision, with a bang, Li Shunjie slashed to the second spear, the long halberd hardly stopped, and with his backhand, he hooked the third short spear with a halberd, pulled the reins to one side, and urged the horse back gallop.

The moment they left the spot, the mighty seven thousand Longyou cavalrymen pulled to zero distance in a blink of an eye, and the long column of Longxiang troops who stayed on the mountain road was instantly shrouded in the smoke and dust.

The front line of Longyou cavalry rushing wildly was full of the sound of flesh and blood colliding and spears piercing their bodies, horses collided with horses and screamed, and the knights on both sides who were pierced by spears screamed and screamed.

Several knights, dozens of knights on the side of the road fell to the side with a bang, rolled and fell, and before they could react, they were crushed by their mounts, or directly trampled to death by the trampling iron hooves, and more Longyou cavalry scattered He rushed into the middle of Longxiang's army with a full-style charge. With a speed that hadn't stopped yet, he charged back and forth in a team of ten cavalry.

The [-] heavy cavalry had no time to set up their formations, and there were even many cavalry who did not wear heavy armor. The Longyou cavalry rushed over and killed people with one knife and one spear. They ignored the heavy armor and continued to attack. The congested road ahead is pushed forward frantically, leaving the corpses of enemies or comrades behind.

They are frontier soldiers, who have already experienced life and death in the severe cold environment, and the ferocity they exude is not as ferocious as these Chang'an soldiers who came out of the gentle nest.

In less than half an hour, the Longxiang army gradually failed to hold on, and there was no general order, their morale collapsed, and people were led around by panicked horses. On the other side, they were shot and killed one by one by the Longyou cavalry who followed closely. One after another corpses floated on the river bank, and the flowing river was dyed red.

On one side of the chaotic chasing battlefield, two war horses circle around, stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest, tearing and kicking each other, the generals above the two beasts fight each other, the crescent halberd presses the tiger's mouth and swallows the gold knife and pushes back, Li Shunjie clamps the horse's belly and turns the horse's head The moment he opened the distance, he turned around and struck sideways, and swept back with a halberd. He was blocked by Fu Daozhaoge's saber, and threw a short spear with his backhand. Shangfei jumped out and hugged Li Shunjie.

"roll--"

The embarrassed Li Shunjie roared and swung his halberd, the crescent twig hooked the opponent's neck and turned him over his head, threw him to the other side, and hit the ground hard.

The next moment, the sound of horseshoes approached, and the long knife slashed into his peripheral vision like lightning. Li Shunjie raised his hand sideways, and erected the halberd as if to block the blade. Pressed onto his shoulders.

"Ah-"

Fu Daozhao clenched the handle of the knife and the tiger's beard roared out angrily. The muscles in both arms swelled and propped up his shoulders. In the last shout: "Ah!" With a 'bang', the halberd pole was pulled horizontally and a cold light came out.

A series of drops of blood splashed on the fallen leaves.

"Ahhh-"

That was Li Shunjie screaming mournfully, the halberd in his hand turned into white marks, and correspondingly, there was a deep bone-deep wound stretching from his right cheek to the bridge of his nose, bleeding profusely.

The tearing pain made him cry out, and the guards who were fighting nearby abandoned their opponents and rushed to this side to stop Fu Daozhao who still wanted to go forward.

"General, let's go—"

Someone had an arm cut off and shouted while shaking on the horse's back. Li Shunjie covered his cheek with one hand and held the rein with a halberd in the other. There are also more than a hundred riders gathered in the room.

"Chase!"

Fu Daozhao was not willing to let go of the great credit he got. He also called out and gathered a group of cavalry to follow closely. Fighting broke out again. Soon, he still brought the cavalry back with a regretful expression on his face. At this time, the battle here It basically came to an end, except for the occasional sound of horses and weapons colliding in the distance, many cavalrymen under his command were already cleaning the battlefield.

Enemies who were wounded and survived were often stabbed, their throats were cut open and they were left to die, and then their property was searched and their armor and weapons were taken off.

Although the surprise attack was launched with the advantage of the location, the seven thousand Longyou cavalry still lost nearly a thousand people, and most of them were killed in the first collision with the Longxiang cavalry.

As for the Longxiang army, there were more than [-] wounded soldiers and corpses counted, and most of the rest fled to the foot of the mountain in the chaos. Fu Daozhao didn't have time for his subordinates to hunt them down one by one.

He has to rush to another battlefield.

On the battlefield cleared by "Good Things", he was amazed by the piles of heavy armor. Among them were more than 200 tall and big horses, all of which were mounts of heavy cavalry. Fu Daozhao checked his articulate, He patted the horse's head heavily, and ordered Qi Qi to his side: "Get ready to go immediately, and find another 300 people to wear these things!"

The desolate horn sounded among the mountains.

A branch of Longyou cavalry scattered everywhere put their swords back into their sheaths, pulled out their spears on the ground and got on their horses, and quickly came back in twos and threes to form a formation.

Fu Daozhao looked at the three hundred heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor in front of him, nodded, turned around and carried eight short spears and dragged knives to the front of the formation, turned his face to the side, and laughed wildly.

"Boys, let's go and let those women in Chang'an see what a Northwest man is—"

Rumbling--

Iron hooves spread across the earth.

On the last day of November, the tug-of-war and scramble battles on the main battlefield in the east continued. The dragon and tiger army led by Wei Zhaodu was biting Zhao Zhouyi's five thousand soldiers who wanted to break through the defense line of the Chinese army.

Despite the lack of reinforcements around him, he persisted.

Towards dusk, there was a short period of peace on the front line of the fight, both sides were resting, in the light of the torches standing everywhere, Wei Zhaodu and Du Rangneng lost their usual elegance, gulped down the wine, bit off the jerky and tried hard to chew and swallow it into their stomachs .

The 4000 people sent in front have basically been disabled, and the 3000 people on the opposite side have less than [-] left, and his Chinese army has also been charged several times by Zhao Zhouyi, and the number has been reduced to about [-], which is still considered the wounded.

At this point, Wei Zhaodu and Du Rangneng kept the army from collapsing, which made Geng Qing, who had been watching the battle on the hillside, give a thumbs up.

"The literati in this era are still admirable. If it were me, I'm afraid I can't do it, and I might run away long ago."

"Dazhu. There is the sound of horseshoes! Lots of them!"

Dachun gradually got used to the battlefield, and he could still distinguish the sound of hooves of huge groups of horses, Geng Qing tilted his head and followed the direction he pointed.

In the dusk, under the rolling hills, a black 'long dragon' rumbled forward into the battlefield, and the resting soldiers on both sides were so frightened that their hairs stood on end, and they got up from the ground one after another.

Du Rangneng and Wei Zhaodu hurriedly got on their horses, looked at the cavalry coming out of the mountain, clenched their fists, and waited expectantly to see if they would turn and rush to the opposite side.

However, the next moment.

The cavalry team stretched out like a long dragon, and came towards them like a wave.

"It's over."

Wei Zhaodu murmured, the tense nerves were broken at this moment, his body shook a few times, and fell off the horse's back
Under the sky, a mighty and huge number of cavalry pushed across like a wall, crushing everything. Not long after, the broken "Tang" flag fell down in this dusk, falling on the corpses all over the ground .

　Take a break and take care of the plot behind it, just fighting and killing will definitely not work
