Late Tang

The Shatuo generals on duty this night, one is Xue Atan and the other is An Xiuxiu, both of them are commanded by Li Siyuan, both of them have undue courage.Both of them were in their early twenties, and their backgrounds were very similar. They were both descended from General Shatuo, and both joined the army in their teens.When Li Ke used his first rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, they had just joined the army. At that time, they were just recruits. A few years later, they had become fierce generals among Sha Tuo's younger generation.

During the Battle of Daibei, the two protected the Liu family from the siege, and later voluntarily signed up to join Li Siyuan's death squad, and resolutely returned to Daibei. At the beginning, Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao's two brothers returned to Daibei to look for Li Keyong. Only eighteen riders came back to Li Keyong, and Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu were one of them.Since then, both of them have become Li Siyuan's confidantes and personal guards, gradually promoted to the rank of military commander, and now, having experienced dozens of battles, they have become the commanders of Hengchong Capital.

In addition, there is another one, but this time Du Yuhou, who is in charge of military discipline, is Li Keyong's white-robed general Shi Jingsi, who was born as a personal guard next to Li Keyong.

After Guo Chongtao led 3000 soldiers into the pass, there were only [-] soldiers left in the military capital of Guanzhong, of which [-] were Li Siyuan's Hengchong Capital, the remaining thousand were wounded soldiers, and one thousand were soldiers of Marquis Yu of Shi Jingsi.

Tonight, Li Siyuan went to bed early.

Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu were drinking and grilling meat at night, chatting about women and fine wine.Shi Jingsi had just taken off his clothes and was about to jump into the big water tank to take a bath when he suddenly heard the sound of an alarm bell coming from the closed door.

At the moment, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he ran out of the yard with his bare upper body, kicking up the iron bone next to him, and his own soldiers had already brought the horses.He jumped onto the horse with his bare upper body, took off his horn bow, and drove directly to the east gate.One hundred of his personal guards immediately got on their horses, and as he rushed over, more soldiers were coming after hearing the sound.

At this time, the East Gate was already in chaos.

Fu Cun, Marquis of Handan and the leader of the brigade cavalry army, took five hundred of his elite men under his command, dressed in sheepskins and mixed among the sheep, successfully approached the city wall, entered the city gate, and raided and robbed it to control the closure.

Amidst the explosion of Thunderbolt, Han Jiahou and Yang Shihou, the leader of the Flying Cavalry Army who received the signal, immediately led the 500 Flying Cavalry Qingqi and the rest of the Brigade Cavalry to gallop towards the military capital.At the beginning, the Shatuo soldiers guarding the city wanted to take back the closed gate, but it was a pity that Fu Cun came prepared, although there were only five hundred soldiers guarding the closed gate at the beginning.But the continuous crossbow they carry is extremely sharp, with seven arrows in one crossbow. Although this kind of continuous crossbow newly developed by the Ordnance Department has various shortcomings, it also has one of the biggest advantages, that is, it can shoot seven arrows in a row without stopping. Come down and reload, which makes 3000 people in the talisman instantly equivalent to a long-range attack of [-] people.

And after shooting the seven arrows, they didn't need to spend time to reload them, and they also brought the Human Torch.Each of them carried twenty Thunderbolts. Compared with the crossbow bolts, although the shooting range was much shorter, the attack distance was more than ten feet, but the power was even more astonishing.Fu Cun seized the closed door, guarded the closed door hole, cut off the iron chains of the suspension bridge, and then used the corpses of Shatuo soldiers and sheep to quickly pile up several bunkers, hiding behind and throwing thunderbolts wildly, causing the Shatuo soldiers to cry Dad shouted mother, completely stunned by the beating.

The defenders who closed the door charged several times, but left corpses all over the ground. Suddenly they felt timid, and Shatuo soldiers were frightened. They were chanting Changshengtian, Tianshen, and even Sanqing God, Hao Heavenly God, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha, etc. are full of names of gods and Buddhas in the sky, and pray that this nightmare can wake up early.

Several officers on duty wanted to retreat away from this hell, but in an instant, they saw General Du Yuhou Shi Jingsi leading his crowd to meet him naked, and then a moment later, the two commanders Xue A Tan and An Xiuxiu also came. They all rushed forward with all their cavalry.

Immediately, those officers didn't dare to abandon their robes, so they could only bite the bullet, turned around and ran back.

Fu Cunsuo didn't have many soldiers and horses, but it was more than enough to guard a closed door.Occupying a special terrain, relying on sharp and abundant firearms and crossbow bolts, they formed a staggered coverage of firepower from far and near, and the area about ten feet inside the city gate completely became a death zone.Whether it is infantry or cavalry, carrying a shield or charging directly, no one can rush this distance.

Shi Jingsi saw that the enemy army who came in surprise guarded the closed gate but did not enter the city, so he judged that the number of enemy army was not many.But he immediately reckoned that this might be just a leading special operations force, and there must be a large force behind it.In any case, the closed gate must be taken back, otherwise, when the enemy's large forces arrive, the closed gate will be absolutely impossible to hold.

He breathed fire in his eyes, and roared: "Rush over, rush over, crush them, take back and close the door!"

Shi Jingsi reacted very quickly, but he came in a hurry, leading only less than 100 cavalry, and he didn't arrive in time to form a formation, and even many of his subordinates were like him, with their upper body crossed, and they didn't even show up with armor And drape.The more than [-] fierce Yuhou guards fired a few arrows at the enemy in a disorderly manner, and they had already rushed within fifty steps.

Shi Jingsi has always served as Li Keyong's personal guard general, usually wearing a white robe over a silver armor, and he is tall, handsome and mighty, as time goes by, the army calls him Shi Jingsi in the white robe, is a A brave and unparalleled general.He may not be as good as Li Siyuan when it comes to fighting and commanding, but if he simply compares his riding and shooting skills on horseback and dismounting, Li Siyuan is slightly inferior to him.At this time, he let out a roar, took off the bright silver iron gun, held the gun with one hand, and galloped towards the enemy formation at the city gate, stabbing a brigade cavalry sergeant in the left arm, taking advantage of the situation, and shot the A brigade cavalry soldier who hadn't had time to react picked out the corpse pile bunker and dropped it under his horse.

Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu also roared loudly, one grabbed a Xuanhua axe, the other took a long-handled gourd, rode their horses like the wind and jumped into the front of the brigade cavalry, one at a time, respectively He smashed the heads of the two Qin soldiers who raised their swords to fight.

Fu Cun, who was behind the corpse pile, saw that the general Shatuo, Ma Kuai, rushed directly into the formation in a blink of an eye, and each of them was extremely brave, killing several subordinates in an instant.Immediately burning with anger, he raised his two-handed sword and leaped fiercely, slashing at Shi Jingsi's horse's hoof.

Shi Jingsi reacted quickly, raised the gun to the next block, the sword and the gun intersected, and sparks burst out.

Shi Jingsi and the three took the lead, and more and more Shatuo cavalry charged on their horses, rushed to the front of the Qin army, and fought with them.The two armies were mixed together, and the Thunderbolt couldn't be used for a while. The two sides fought fiercely.

Amidst the rumbling earthquake, an iron cavalry from outside the pass rushed towards it like a violent storm.

A smile finally appeared on Fu Cun's face. The large army had arrived, and there was no suspense in this battle. They had won.

Hundreds of elite brigade cavalry gave way one after another, Yang Shihou took the lead, galloping forward with a spear.

The elite flying cavalry rushed like a flood, and slammed into the Shatuo cavalry who were exposed in front of them because the elite brigade cavalry suddenly stepped aside.

After bursts of fierce collisions that made teeth ache, tinnitus and dizziness, hundreds of Shatuo cavalry were destroyed, like paper windows that could be broken with a single stab.

Yang Shihou had already rushed past, without even turning his head, but led the cavalry to continue forward, forward, all the way to the pass.

The two Qin generals set their sights on An Xiuxiu, and one of them shot several arrows at him. He managed to dodge with his superb horsemanship, and even had to use the iron bridge and hide in the pedals.But just after he shot those few arrows, two officers of the Qin Army came up to him, and one of them stabbed him in the waist. The stabbing shot.But the other person was already dancing a thirteen-jointed bamboo-jointed steel whip, smashing it towards his face with the sound of wind.

An Xiuxiu broke out in a cold sweat, and instinctively pulled out his saber to fight, only to feel that the tiger's mouth was shocked, that young officer who seemed to be just a junior, unexpectedly smashed his saber into the air up.

The cavalry of the Qin army pouring into the city were everywhere around them. These people were extremely brave, no worse than the cavalry of Shatuo.An Xiuxiu looked at the subordinates who were constantly falling around him, and didn't dare to fight, so he hurriedly lowered his body, kicked the horse's belly, and galloped the horse.Several of his personal guards rushed up and blocked the officer of the Qin army who was wielding the whip, but the other man who was wielding the bow seemed to have recognized him as General Yuan Shatuo, so he got rid of his personal guards, but only bit tightly Hold on.

An Xiuxiu was a little frightened, and even became a little flustered, which was something that had never happened before.But the cavalrymen of the Qin army behind them were too fierce. On them, he actually saw a tiger-like toughness.

He drew his bow and set an arrow, turned his head and shot an arrow at the Qin army officer who was chasing him, and the arrow hit, but the officer seemed to be fine, because the feather arrow was stuck on his shoulder and swayed, looking at his appearance, that The arrow didn't hurt him at all.

Immediately, I couldn't help feeling more anxious, and in the midst of my busy schedule, I found that Shi Jingsi and Xue Atan were also in a hard fight.The naked upper body of Shi Jingsi in the white robe was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own. At this time, seven or eight Qin soldiers surrounded and attacked him.Xue Atan's situation was not optimistic either, he seemed to have been shot in the left shoulder, his movements were a bit sluggish, but his momentum remained undiminished.Throughout the battlefield, he could be heard roaring as he faced the battle.

He secretly groaned, tonight he and Xue Atan were a little relaxed, after telling the subordinates about the night duty, the two drank a lot of wine while grilling meat. out of state.What's more, there are more and more Qin troops, and soon there are running Qin troops everywhere in the small pass. The Shatuo soldiers were caught off guard and retreated steadily. The sound of the thunderbolt explosion of the Qin army made the morale of the Shatuo army even more close to collapse.

Li Siyuan ruled the army with very strict military laws. Although the Qin army came prepared and had a large number of troops in the current situation, Li Siyuan did not give the order to retreat.It's just that there are more and more Qin troops. No matter how he runs, he can't get rid of Qin's pursuit.He wanted to turn back and face the fight, but after drinking, his body became more and more unbearable, and he didn't dare to turn back.

However, his poor performance of avoiding the battle tonight did not affect his subordinates.Hengchong is a unit commanded by Li Siyuan himself. This is the elite of the elite of the Shatuo Army. Together with the Yier Army, Tielin Army, and Black Crow Army, they are also known as the four elites of Shatuo.His flag bearer failed to follow behind him, and had already followed behind his deputy commander.The black flag of Hengchong Duzuo Battalion has been flying on the battlefield, gathering and commanding the Shatuo Army to fight.

Soon, the holding flag fell, and the deputy holding flag took over the battle flag.

The deputy commander was also beheaded by the Qin army, but Yu Hou was on top.

The deputy flag holder also died, but the flag has not yet fallen, and the flag bearer who guards the flag took over the flag!

Heng Chong is quite brave and tenacious, always desperately protecting this flag.Even Yang Shihou and Fu Cun, who were fighting in the distance, saw this situation, and couldn't help admiring them. They really deserved to be the elite of the Shatuo Army. It has already collapsed.How could it be possible that the flag bearer and the commander had changed several times, and the flag was still maintained and the command was not chaotic.

Shatuo's army was tenacious, and Qin's army was also brave.

The Shatuo army wanted to keep the flag, while the Qin army continued to attack the flag violently, trying to kill the general and capture the flag!

The two armies were fighting in the dark. Although Shatuo's army was tenacious, they were outnumbered in the end. They were captured and closed, and entered the city. Their morale also dropped.On the contrary, the Qin army became more and more courageous as they fought, and they have continuously pushed the Shatuo army back to Guanxi City.

At this time, Li Siyuan finally gathered the rest of his troops to fight, and Anxiuxiu was able to escape.Li Siyuan rescued the distressed An Xiuxiu, and was about to meet Shi Jingsi and Xue Atan, but at this moment, suddenly, his feet shook violently, then there was a whistling sound above his head, and then there were violent explosions one after another, Then there was a buzzing in my ears, and I couldn't hear anything.

Li Siyuan turned his head and looked at the back of the formation in disbelief, but he saw that the team that had just assembled behind him was already a mess, with countless stumps, broken arms, broken knives and guns, and even the corpses of war horses. Fragments of the armor are flying in the air...

The team that had just assembled was completely disintegrated!

Fu Cun put down his hands covering his ears, shook his buzzing head, and watched with satisfaction that under the salvo of twenty flying thunder cannons, the barely assembled team of the Shatuo Army collapsed , with a deep smile on the corner of his mouth, he shouted loudly to the stunned subordinates beside him: "What the hell are you still in a daze for, wait for the reward before the battle, and rush with me!"

Qin Jun, who came back to his senses, picked up their spears and horizontal knives one after another, roaring in unison, and charged forward with big strides! (To be continued.)
