Late Tang

(Thanks for the support of I only love China. In the last few hours of this month, brothers, is there a monthly pass?)

In the dark night before dawn, between the mountains not far from the Great Wall of Chaigoubao, two soldiers and horses were chasing one behind the other.There were about [-] cavalry running ahead, carrying two flags with Li characters.On one side is the flag of Li Siyuan, the commander of Shatuo, the king of Yanmen County, and the envoy of Yanmen Jiedu, and the other side is the flag of Li Si'an, the flying general of the king of Qin who rescued Li Siyuan from the Qin army.The two soldiers and horses joined together, running desperately, with an indescribably panicked look.Behind them, there were [-] Huqi led by Tiemu Ci, Gui Chi'er, Gao Tansheng and other generals, also desperately chasing after them.

The two soldiers and horses lit torches and chased through the mountains by starlight, always keeping a distance.Every time Tiemu Ci felt that he could catch up with these southern barbarians playing with him with more effort, the guys in front who seemed to be unable to run at any time immediately followed suit and accelerated desperately.

This happened several times, every time.

It's always a little bit off, just a little bit off.

But at this point, they couldn't get closer. Just like that, they chased and fled, and they had been chasing for almost two hours in a blink of an eye.

After chasing for a long time, Gao Tansheng gradually came to his senses, rode his horse to the side of Tie Mu's spur horse and said, "We have chased almost all the way to the entrance of the Great Wall at the border of Xinzhou. Don't chase after poor people. Let's go back."

Tiemu Ci didn't seem to hear his words at all, and still led the Tatar cavalry straight to the east to pursue and kill him.Seeing that the distance between the two sides has finally narrowed a little bit, it is still close, and the real thing is only a little bit short of catching up.

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing, and a group of ambush soldiers came out from the mountain pass in front.But it was a shiny navy blue, and everyone was wearing a bust.As soon as he saw the conspicuous navy blue bust, Gao Tansheng couldn't help but change his expression. He had already recognized that this was Qin Jun.Before he defected to Khitan, he had fought with the Qin army in Liaodong.At that time, their army was defeated by this kind of cavalry in navy blue half-length armor.Seeing the Iron Wood Spike who was advancing instead of retreating, roaring and rushing forward with a mace in hand, Gao Tansheng showed hesitation in his eyes. After a while, he gritted his teeth, pulled the reins, Turn the horse's head, not advance but retreat.He not only retreated, but also began to call his soldiers to retreat.

Gao Tansheng felt an inexplicable palpitation, maybe it was just fear, but he took it more as a premonition.Back in Liaodong, it was based on this premonition that he escaped the pursuit of the Qin army several times, and finally fled into Khitan.Last night, it was also this premonition that allowed him to quickly evacuate the camp and escape unharmed.Of course, this premonition often goes wrong, but if it is wrong, it is just a false alarm, but if it is right, it can save him from disaster.He was able to live until now because of his excessive caution.

The more he thought about it now, the more he felt that something was not right. With the impact of the reinforcements of the Qin army yesterday, they could have rescued Li Siyuan and deal with them together, or charge for a while before leaving.But they didn't, they just fled all the way.Even thinking about it now, the fact that they are always separated by a little distance is full of doubts, as if they are trying to lure them.Moreover, what worries him the most is that this place is already too close to the Qin Army's territory. The Great Wall is in front of it, and the Qin Army's territory is behind it.Who knows, is there a soldier in ambush behind that?

Now, there really was a soldier ambushing behind him and jumped out, which confirmed his guess.

The Qin army had an ambush, which means that the previous reinforcements were deliberately luring the enemy to go deep.The Qin people must have a conspiracy, and they will never be short of men.This was his premonition, because Qin Jun gave him that feeling.

The iron wood thorn had already rushed into the enemy's formation, rushing from left to right as if entering no one's land, disturbing the enemy.

"The Tatars are really brave!" Several Goguryeo knights who were fleeing in the opposite direction turned their heads and said.

"Yes!" Gao Tansheng replied casually, but at the same time kicked the horse's belly fiercely, speeding up the speed of escape.It is impossible for the Qin army to be so vulnerable, and the Tatars are not so fierce that even the Qin army can be defeated in one fell swoop.This can only show one thing, there is oddity here.

At this moment, the shout of killing was wrong.

The dull thunder-like sound resounded in the mountains, as if a violent storm was approaching rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the rapid sound of horns, and then the thunderous sound of war drums, "Sure enough, there is an ambush!"

Gao Tansheng kicked the horse vigorously again, speeding up his escape to the west.He knew that fools like the Tatars probably wouldn't come back.

Where can I return, in an instant, I saw a sky-covering navy blue cavalry emerge like a wind blowing grassland.This time it's not just the mountain pass, but the Qin army all over the mountains and plains.All navy blue cuirassiers roared towards them.

"Damn it!" Gao Tansheng gasped, his worries became a reality, those Qin Qi had been luring the enemy, they chased for two hours, they were exhausted from running, but they bumped into each other Entered someone's ambush circle. "Damn!" He couldn't help but curse again.

"Quick retreat!" Those stupid Tatars, let them go to die, it is more important to save their own lives.

Gao Tansheng had just rode his horse and ran for a distance when he heard dull noises from the left and right.It was the sound of thousands of war horses falling to the ground at the same time, and his expression changed drastically again. They have not yet separated too far from the Tatars. If there are cavalry from the Qin army on both sides, it will be true. trouble.

"withdraw!"

"Quick retreat!" Gao Tansheng hurriedly gave the order. He didn't think his [-] Goguryeo cavalry could deal with such an elite cuirassier of the Qin army.

Under Gao Tansheng's urging, the Goguryeo warriors hurriedly accelerated and retreated westward.The dark blue shadows of the two Qin armies behind them were already faintly visible!

What made him feel a little strange was that they had been chased within the range of the Qin army, but the Qin army behind them hadn't released any arrows, and he hadn't even seen a single one of the thunder that most impressed him.They just pursued blindly, thousands of cavalry, chasing in the dawn light.

Just now, they were still the one chasing, but in a blink of an eye, they became the hunted prey and fled. The last black scene before dawn trembled under the trample of the Qin army's iron hooves, and began to shatter, revealing wisps of white morning colors Xi Guang.

The Qin army behind them chased closer and closer. To make matters worse, two more cavalry joined the chasing team.Those guys were all wearing shiny breastplates and wolf-head-like steel helmets. In this not-so-bright dawn, it was like a group of steel giant wolves chasing them on horseback, making people even more panicked and frightened. .

When Gao Tansheng went around a mountain depression, he was horrified to find that two cavalry from the Qin army had already circled here and blocked them in front of them just passing by.

Why isn't this an endless flat prairie!

Gao Tansheng, who had lived in the hills and mountains of Liaodong for most of his life, began to miss the Khitan grassland very much. If it was there, how could the Qin army stop them at this point.He cursed viciously at the damn terrain, but Qin Jun's detour and interception so familiar with this place made him more panicked.These guys are very familiar with this, they have already ambushed here.

"Kill!" Gao Tansheng yelled, took off his bow, put on a feathered arrow, and rushed towards the Qin army in front.

At the pass of the mountain, Yang Weili held the saber firmly in his hand, quietly watching the barbarians who kept approaching.

He looked back and saw that all the soldiers were wearing wolf helmets and breastplates, indescribably neat and mighty.The corner of his mouth rose in satisfaction, this is my capital team, my first battle.

Holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, he drew it out, and the saber made a sharp rustling sound.The sharp blade was continuously revealed, and finally with his right hand raised high, it pointed directly at the sky.

"Draw your sword, get ready!" Yang Weili roared, and the big bear behind him, Zhao Xiaobao, was wearing his oversized wolf helmet and breastplate, and followed him closely, holding the one-foot-two capital team flag in his hand. On one side of him is the deputy flag-bearer holding a triangular red flag gun. Behind them are two flags, one on the left and one on the right. They are the flag-bearers. Hold the capital flag high, and let all the soldiers follow the flag.

The war horse pawed the ground restlessly and snorted. Siegfried and other young land soldiers held their sabers tightly one by one.They wielded swords and horses tens of thousands of times when they were in Lushi, and they memorized the saber tactics manual by heart. In addition, they also memorized combat training manuals such as the Army Code.But when it was time to fight, they still couldn't help but get nervous.

Yang Weili was also very nervous. He was very thankful that he was wearing a steel helmet with a visor instead of an old-fashioned helmet. Otherwise, all his subordinates would have seen the tension on his face.

The standard chicken was wearing brand-new armor, sitting on a steed's horse, holding a lance in his hand, but he didn't feel nervous at all.On the contrary, what was in his heart was just a faint excitement, and he finally went to the battlefield again, the familiar battlefield, the battlefield where he had fought life and death for 13 years.Leaving the team and settling down in Yi County, his wife and children live a good life on the kang, which makes him satisfied. There are fields, land, a house, and a job that pays well and is not dangerous. Such a life may be very satisfying.

But there will definitely be regrets in my heart. He is a fighter, a born fighter, but he has been in the army for thirteen years at the age of 25.Life in the army has become a habit, and the ability to fight is imprinted in my heart.Others may expect a dull life, but he prefers this kind of intense life.

The battle was about to start again, and he was ready.This time, he has a solid armor, a sharp spear, a saber, a mighty thunderbolt and a hand crossbow, and even a group of brave companions, and a wise and heroic commander.

He looked back, and the sun rose slowly in the east behind him, and the eastern sky was covered with red morning glow.

Immediately following the rising of the sun, there was another big golden flag, which was the Panlong King Banner, the commander-in-chief flag of King Li Jing of Qin, the flag of the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, and the whole world had only one side.

Yang Weili also turned his head and glanced at the Grand Marshal's flag surrounded by all the troops, his heart was full of passion, this time they fought with King Qin.

"Come on!" Yang Weili pointed forward with his saber, mobilizing his horse to gallop.

The orderly waved the command flag, the bugler blew the horn, and the team leaders also blew their iron whistles.

Under the guidance of the capital flag, team flag, and the officers' pennant guns, Jiadu began to follow the fellow battalion robes on both sides to meet the charge.

The war horse accelerated slowly, then faster and faster, and finally maintained a constant speed, rushing towards the enemy.

"Don't shoot arrows, charge up!" The battalion commander's roar came from a distance. It was a tall and mighty guy, and he was also the instructor of Yang Weili Lu Shi School. His voice alone could shock all the students. guy.

Yang Weili raised his shield, and the cavalry behind him also raised their shields, and then continued to charge forward with their guns raised.No one shoots arrows, no one throws mines, just the purest hedge.

"What are they trying to do?" Gao Tansheng panicked for no reason. This Qin army was the weirdest cavalry unit he had ever seen. They were well equipped, but instead of using strong bows and crossbows and grenades, they charged straight at them.Don't they think they are heavy cavalry when they wear a breastplate?

Goguryeo's arrows were mercilessly blocked by the opponent's shield and armor.

Although it is a half body armor, it is still extremely strong.

Seeing the enemy cavalry charge closer and closer, Gao Tansheng panicked, he had never seen such a cavalry style of play, but the light cavalry wanted to collide, wow!

"Keep your distance! Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows, shoot the barbarians!"

The Koguryo warriors only shot two rounds, and Qin Qi had already rushed to his eyes.These Song soldiers didn't stop, and they didn't even take out their favorite Zhentianlei. They just rushed over in a neat and dense queue with their lances and swords and horses.

The two cavalry collided head-on. The Goguryeo people did not expect that the Qin army would really collide. They always thought that the Qin army would go around at the last moment.In the end, they were wrong. Qin Jun really came to hit people.But it wasn't all bumping into people, because before they bumped into them, they had stabbed them with spears and sabers in their hands, several of them bullied one of them, and when their horses crossed, most of them had been cut off.

Gao Tansheng blocked from the left and right, and finally got shot in the left abdomen. This kind of stabbing spear was so powerful that it penetrated his Shanwen armor and Litong's inner armor in one fell swoop, and penetrated into his abdomen all the way. In the process, if he hadn't held the opponent's gun barrel in time, he might have pierced through it with one blow.

The blood was straight up, and he was so painful that he almost rolled off the horse.

Gao Tansheng pushed the gun away with all his strength, turned his horse's head while covering the bleeding wound, and shouted loudly: "Keep your distance, shoot them, shoot these Qin dogs to death!"

But his subordinates were far less tenacious than him. Qin Jun seemed to be moving slowly, but he rolled forward. One after another, soldiers were chopped down and trampled by their iron hooves.It was like a giant beast, devouring every tribal warrior they approached.

Three thousand Goguryeo fighters, plus thousands of other small tribe fighters who followed them when they saw the situation was not going well, were quickly beaten and retreated.

With a single swing of the knife, a Goguryeo warrior who was blocking the Siegfly flag gun was chopped off from his shoulder.He smiled proudly at Siegfried, a young barbarian, "Thank you for your help, this first-level achievement is mine!" After speaking, he also lit up the shiny saber dripping with blood in his hand.He likes this saber very much, it is so sharp, and it is specially designed for fighting on horseback. Compared with spears and spears, it is a sharp weapon for riding.

Riding his horse past, he set his sights on another Goguryeo warrior.Before leaving, he looked at the head of the Goguryeo warrior who rolled to the ground with some reluctance.He always had the urge to pick up that person's head and tie it to the saddle. Unfortunately, according to the Qin Army's regulations, it is not allowed to cut off the head during battle.Moreover, Qin Jun's calculation of merit is not directly based on head count, but has a very complicated method of counting merit that he can't explain anyway, and it is generally based on collective merit.Of course, there is also some credit for the personal kill, which is why he said what Siegfried said just now.Although he was taking advantage of that head, he killed what he killed.

While galloping the horse, he thought to himself, the third one.This was the third one he had just beheaded. Although most of them were snatched from his comrades, he would not say that he snatched them, but would say that he killed the enemy while rescuing his comrades.He had planned a long time ago, trying to kill ten enemies in this battle, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of rewards, not to mention, he may be promoted to an official position.That guy Yang Weili had a problem with him, so he wanted to show him that he was a veteran of many battles, how could he underestimate him?

"Kill!" He yelled and rode his horse to the side of the two students. The two students from Tongdu were teaming up to deal with a Goguryeo cavalry. The guy who had already beaten was helpless, and they were about to reap the harvest. , he suddenly appeared, raised his knife and slashed across the guy's throat in front of them, and took another credit.

"Thank you for your help, I will treat you to a drink later."

"Jiba thing, shit, come to grab the head again."

"Human-headed dog!"

The two young apprentices wiped the sweat and blood from their faces, and cursed helplessly.

At this moment, the horn blared behind them, and the King Qin's banner was constantly moving towards this side, while in front of them, a group of defeated tribal cavalry was rushing to this side.

"Dudududu!"

The team leaders blew their iron whistles to signal their cavalry to get out of the way and let them pass.

Just as Yang Weili stepped aside, tens of thousands of defeated tribal cavalry roared and rolled past. Then, the resonant bugle sounded, which was the sound of the whole army's pursuit.Yang Weili waved his saber and gave chase with a loud roar, and he was the first to catch up.

The old man turned his head and glanced at the man under the conspicuous king's banner, swallowed his saliva, then clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and rushed down after Yang Weili with his saber in his hand. Behind him, more The cavalry is coming in pursuit of King Qin's banner.
