Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 124 The First Battle
It is impossible for Gao Li's guards to stop at Hulao Pass.

After resting for a day and a night, he rushed down the mountain impatiently.

The ax-wielding warriors were in front, and the spears and sword shields were behind. Before the fight started, the ghosts and wolves all over the mountains and plains began to cry and howl to build up their momentum.

Liang Du's attack on the city and the territory all the way did not have much cleverness and cleverness, but he attacked all the way from the front.

Relying on the ferocity of the Gaoli guards and the blessing of the will to revenge, they are invincible all the way, and there are indeed not many troops in the world who can fight head-on.

However, something is different today.

A thousand cavalry was waiting for them at the foot of the mountain, and there were thousands of cavalry behind them.

Hundreds of blood-red banners fluttered in the cold wind.

The leader is a general with a long halberd in his left hand and a double-edged spear in his right. He has black armor as ferocious as a beast, and a tall blood-red war horse under his crotch, facing the thousands of horses of Gao Li's guards.

The name of this horse is Zhu Long. It is said that in the battle of Xin'an that day, Ran Min was trapped in a heavy siege, and he could not escape in a deadly battle. Under the siege, Ran Min personally named it "Zhu Long"!
There were more than a thousand cavalry behind them, all on two horses, watching the Gaoli guards rolling down without the slightest fear in their eyes.

Li Yue led [-] pacers to follow behind. The Yellow River in the north was mighty, and the war drums on both sides were already roaring, slowly merging in the same rhythm.

The gust of wind swept across the face with a chill, but it stimulated the blood in the chest to surge.

The eradication of Jie slaves should begin today.

There are at least [-] Jie people in the rebel army.

Killing one more person is to avenge the souls of the dead on this land, and to wash away the shame of the 50 years since the Yongjia Rebellion!

Looking back at the cavalry behind them, each of them was full of fighting spirit.

The blood-red banner fluttered violently in the wind, as if burning, and blazing hatred seemed to burst out from their eyes.

In the camp behind, countless pairs of eyes are watching the battle.

Li Nong supported his tired body and looked to the west, "Shizhao, can this battle be won?"

Chang Wei said: "This battle must be won!"

"Oh? Why are you so impressed by the two of you?" Li Nong lost his confidence after successive defeats.

"Does Sikong remember the defeat of Thorn City back then? Your Majesty's hundreds of thousands of troops met Murong Ke, and fled in the face of the wind. More than [-] troops were killed. All the troops were defeated, but the whole army of Xiu Chenghou returned!"

How could Li Nong forget this battle?
The defeat of Thorn City was the turning point of Jie Zhao's prosperity and decline, and the luck of Jie people was also broken up in this battle.

Seeing that Li Nong's face was not right, Chang Wei cupped his hands and said, "Wei made a mistake, I hope Sikong will forgive me."

Li Nongdao: "Not guilty, continue."

"Prosperity is bound to decline. The bandit army attacked thousands of miles, broke Chang'an, and fell into Luoyang. The veterans of the division were exhausted, and they were already at the end of their strength. Hou Xiucheng was brave and invincible, with unparalleled vigor. Leader Li was a good general for a while, and there will be news of success."

"One is a good general, so what is the other?" Li Nong's eyes flickered.

The ability on the battlefield is mediocre, but he has been in a high position for so many years and has a keen sense of power struggle.

Chang Wei said meaningfully: "What it is depends on Sikong."

Li Nong remained silent, he could naturally understand the meaning behind these words.

It is self-evident that Ran Min approached the begging army like this...

On the battlefield, Gao Li's imperial guards had poured down like a tide, flying sand and rocks, slowly gathering on the plain.

Ran Min remained motionless, a wisp of flying sand rolled up under the horse's hooves, and then scattered again.

The cold wind roared, and the dark clouds and the Yellow River flowed to the southeast together, covering the sun, making it a little drowsy, and the air of killing filled the sky and the earth.

The bandit army gathered nearly ten thousand people on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain. They dismissed Ran Min and Li Yue who were waiting in line, held a big axe, and roared towards the east like wild animals.

After the roar, dozens of arrows pierced the drowsy sky.

It fell under Ran Min's horse's hooves in front of the formation.

At this moment, Ran Min glanced behind him, passed through the soldiers, and landed on Li Yue.

Strange to say, Li Yue couldn't see clearly at a distance of four or five hundred steps, but he could feel the deep meaning behind this gaze.

A dead branch was swept up by the strong wind at some point, and slowly fell between the two armies.

The drums of war on both sides were excited at the same time.

"Kill back to Yedu!" The other side yelled twice, and then ran wildly. There was no array, no banners, only a few thousand axes and thousands of spears, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

It was as if tens of thousands of beasts had broken free from their cages, and the momentum was extremely frightening.

However, Ran Min's Thousand Riders were unusually silent, until Ran Min raised his double-edged spear and swung it forward, more than 8000 horseshoes slowly hit the ground like raindrops.

Looking from the rear, it seemed as if a black spear had directly pierced through...

Shock, keep hitting.

Double-edged spears and halberds stabbed out one after another, drawing out waves of blood, and the enemy's corpse was torn apart under the horseshoes and spears.

A thousand cavalry just crashed into the enemy army without any fancy.

No, Li Yue felt that there were not a thousand cavalry on the battlefield, only one man!

Those 1000 people turned into one person.

He wandered freely among the big axes and spears, rushed at will, and stepped a bloody path among thousands of troops.

Severed limbs and heads flew under his spear, and the blood rushed to the sky, was blown away by the strong wind, and sprinkled among the crowd, like a rain of blood.

Gao Li's guards are known for being fierce and fierce, but they didn't expect that there would be someone more fierce and fierce than them today.

The enemy army was caught off guard and was quickly pierced through. The mighty Gaoli guards seemed to have been hit by a blow, a little dazed, a little at a loss, some continued to charge forward, some turned around and chased down the cavalry...

The battlefield suddenly became a little chaotic.

"Attack!" The cold wind was still howling in his ears, and Li Yue's blood was already boiling.

The six-thousand-step cavalry moved slowly, formed a scale formation, and moved forward.

At the same time, after drawing an arc, Ran Min's cavalry turned again, like a long black whip lashing towards the enemy.

The screams resounded through Amano.

Hundreds of Jie people were trampled under the hooves of horses and wailed, slaughtered like pigs and dogs.

Meet on a narrow road, the advantage of cavalry is greater than that of infantry.

However, after all, the Gaoli guards had experienced many battles, and they did not collapse under the frenzied attack of the cavalry. Someone quickly reacted and set up a spear. .

Sixty or seventy war horses wailed and fell down, tripped dozens of horses, and were trampled into flesh together with the cavalry.

All Gao Li guards are good at shooting and have rich experience. They don't shoot armored cavalry, but shoot horses with bigger targets.

When an arrow hits, the galloping horse will fall down.

The advantage of the cavalry continued to weaken, and the casualties became heavier, and some cavalry voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.

Ran Min could only turn his horse's head, retreat from the battlefield, and run towards the high slope to the south.

Even though the cavalry was ferocious, they did not quickly defeat the enemy, and their physical strength, impact and lethality would all drop significantly.

All of a sudden, only the Gaoli Guards and Heiyun Army remained on the battlefield.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent.

Countless gazes came from behind, and the closed bandit army also stood on the city wall, looking at the battlefield...
