Stunning weapon

On the pipeline in front of Mozhou City, a general of Xiliang, with a public face, belongs to the kind that can't be found when thrown into the crowd. , the armor on his body is also relatively ordinary. If it weren't for the fiery red cloak flying in the wind on his back, no one would associate him with the general who commanded this Xiliang army. However, he is now this The out-and-out leader of the team.

This person was Zhao Yifan who was promoted by Mo Xiaochuan.

At this time, he was accompanied by a general who acted as his deputy. He watched the Southern Tang army approaching from far to near. Although it looked dusty and had lost its former sharpness, the army was neat and tidy. There is no appearance that a defeated army should have.

Zhao Yifan saw it, couldn't help sighing, and said: "Li Shaobai, you really deserve to be a famous general. With this military appearance alone, I may not be able to do it under the same circumstances."

The general also couldn't help but nodded, and said: "This person is indeed superior, if not, the prince would not pay so much attention to it. Now, except for the army of General Kou who resisted the border of the Southern Tang army, almost all of us in the country of Yan have used it." But the fact that he can still come here is enough to prove his extraordinaryness, the general must not be careless."

"En!" Zhao Yifan nodded seriously.

This is what is extraordinary about Zhao Yifan. He was recruited after Mo Xiaochuan captured Yizhou. Originally, he was very loyal to Yan State, but since his old lady was compared to death by corrupt officials, he This feeling has long since disappeared, and now, Mo Xiaochuan has used him so much, which has already made him give up.Moreover, he is not from a good background, but he is tolerant. He has always listened to the suggestions of his subordinates.

Because he was exceptionally promoted by Mo Xiaochuan, many people were waiting to see his jokes, so he was even more cautious, not daring to make any mistakes, for fear of disappointing Mo Xiaochuan's expectations.Even if Mo Xiaochuan never summoned him, all the rewards for him were nothing more than an official letter.

However, as a small flag in the army, being able to be seen by Mo Xiaochuan already made him feel that it was a great honor. In fact, after this incident, many soldiers also worked harder.

They discovered that even those who are small soldiers may be noticed by the prince. If they can become a person like Zhao Yifan, then this life will be worth it.Therefore, Zhao Yifan is now a role model among the low-level soldiers, but many middle-level generals don't think highly of him.

The reason is very simple, because his qualifications are not strong enough, and in the eyes of others, he only relies on the blessing of the prince.

Zhao Yifan took a deep breath, raised the spear in his hand high, and said loudly: "Order, line up, don't let Li Shaobai pass by us."

"Yes!" The orderly agreed, and hastily passed down the order.

The team lined up neatly, with sword and shield players and pikemen at the front, followed by archers, which was a typical defensive formation.

At this time, Li Shaobai also walked to a place within a stone's throw of the Xiliang army. He stopped his horse, frowned, and looked at the formation of the Xiliang army in front of him, knowing that the defending general was a master of the art of war. Man, therefore, is not radical either.

Just standing there, looking around, as if looking for something.

The lieutenant at the side asked softly, "General, are you looking for Mo Xiaochuan?"

Li Shaobai did not deny it, but nodded slightly.

The lieutenant urged his horse forward and shouted loudly to the Xiliang army in front: "Who is the general in front?"

"It's my General Zhao Yifan." The Xiliang General replied.

"Hmph, nobody." Li Shaobai didn't take it seriously when he heard this name.

The deputy general was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaochuan sent an unknown person to guard this place. Before, when Li Shaobai and the deputy general were discussing, they deduced that even if Mo Xiaochuan did not personally lead the army here, it might be Kou Yilang. Generals like him, even Lu Shang, but right now, they found that it was someone who had never heard of the name before, and the deputy general also showed disdain, and said: "The people in front listen, let Mo Xiaochuan come out and talk."

Hearing Li Shaobai's words, Zhao Yifan raised his chin lightly at the side general beside him, knowing it, he also stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Li Shaobai, my general said that if you can't even get through here, you won't be able to get through here at all. You are not qualified to see my lord. However, if you want to see lord right now, you will be arrested, and maybe, lord merciful, I can still see you."

Hearing this, Li Shaobai clenched his fists and snorted coldly.

The deputy general hurriedly said: "General, don't get angry."

"This, I naturally know about this." Li Shaobai closed his eyes to calm himself down a bit. When he opened his eyes again, his demeanor seemed to have changed. There was no expression on his face, but he gave off a very indifferent look. He lowered his voice and said loudly, "Array, kill them."

Li Shaobai is about to rush forward. Now, the people around Li Shaobai are basically cavalry, fighting and fleeing all the way, and only the cavalry can come here. There is no way to change the strategy, or wait for the opportunity to find the opponent's flaws.Although the lieutenant knew that this method of rushing into the formation would cause great losses, but they had no choice.

Immediately, he waved the command flag and ordered the army to stand by. Immediately, the moment Li Shaobai waved his hand down, the Southern Tang army rushed towards the Xiliang army like a tide.

The horse's hooves hit the ground, making a sound like continuous thunder, which fell on people's ears, which was extremely shocking. There seemed to be countless Southern Tang troops ahead. Although there were only less than 3 people, all of them were It was cavalry, spread out on the road, and charged towards them suddenly, their deterrent power was still extremely good.

The faces of the Xiliang soldiers were dignified. The pikemen pushed the rear ends of their guns to the ground, and their long carbine guns stood in front of them, facing the Southern Tang army.

The archers in the rear shot desperately, and the rain of arrows shot down all over the sky. Many of the Southern Tang Army rushing to the front fell off their horses in an instant, and many of their horses were hit by arrows, but the vitality of the horses was obviously stronger than that of those on their backs. The master must be strong, even if he is hit by an arrow, he can still continue to charge for a long distance.

The prelude to the battle was extremely fierce, "Boom!" Finally, after bursts of violent impact sounded, the battle between the two armies officially began.

The sound of the horse's body being pierced by the carbine, and the sound of the horse hitting the shield and the sound of the shield cracking, made people shudder, but at this moment, the soldiers on both sides seemed to forget their fear.

In the Xiliang army, many sword and shield fighters were directly knocked out, screamed and flew high, and landed on the ground. Some were unlucky, and were pierced by the spears in their own hands, but the soldiers behind The vacancy was quickly filled.

Zhao Yifan's complexion became tense, and the knuckles of his hands gripping the gun barrel were a little white. The scene was more tragic than he imagined. In the past, he commanded small-scale battles, and the casualties were far less serious than this.

However, he understood that kindness does not command soldiers. At this time, he cannot hesitate. As long as he relaxes and lets the Southern Tang army rush in, the consequences will be much more serious than now.In this way, he commanded the Xiliang Army to keep blocking.

Under the horseshoes of the Southern Tang army, the Xiliang army did not flinch in the slightest. When one fell, another one was replaced.

In a short period of time, the positions of the two sides did not change much. However, the place where the two sides fought was already full of corpses. The strong smell of blood filled the breath of soldiers and horses, which was unusually pungent.
