Horse on the World

Chapter 173
Han Ningshou wanted to leave, but he couldn't. His bright armor and elite guards were like a magnet, attracting the Dingzhou cavalry of the brigade to his surroundings. No matter how desperately he and his guards fought, they would always After killing one group, another group entangled them tightly.While fighting and fleeing, there were fewer and fewer guards around him.

Lu Dalin also noticed this group of brave barbarian knights. Seeing his soldiers being cut off by their opponents, he couldn't help but burst into anger, snorted coldly, put his legs between the horse's belly, and charged forward with his long spear.

Seeing the coach rushing towards him, the Dingzhou cavalry who surrounded Han Ningshou rode their horses to avoid it, making way for Lu Dalin and his personal guards.

The spear pierced out, and a barbarian soldier held an iron shield and greeted him with loud shouts. The corner of Lu Dalin's mouth tanned, his thrust contained collapse energy, even a stone as big as a millstone would be crushed under such collapse energy. It shattered, he didn't believe that the barbarian's iron shield could stop it. Sure enough, the spear tip pierced the iron shield, and there was a muffled sound. The barbarian had a strange look on his face. Although the iron shield was intact, it hit Back, the bone in the bowl was shattered, followed closely by the forearm, the big arm, and the sound of rattling, unexpectedly, the arm bone was directly shattered by Lu Dalin's blow, and the broken bone pierced into the body, Lu Dalin didn't even look at him, like the wind After passing by, the personal guards behind him followed closely, and took the head with a knife.

Lu Dalin's momentum was like a broken bamboo, and there were almost no generals in his path, and the remaining Han Ningshou guards were picked off one by one by him.

At this time, Han Ningshou's helmet was nowhere to be found, and his body was covered in blood, not only from Dingzhou soldiers, but also from himself. With disheveled hair, he greeted Lu Dalin with a wild roar, "Han Ningshou, it's you!"

Han Ningshou grinned and said, "Lu Dalin, die!"

Lu Dalin laughed and said: "The sky net is back, it's lucky that I met you, brother Chen Gen, brother Zhang Jixiong, today my brother will avenge you." The spear was raised high, and it fell down like an iron rod.

Han Ningshou raised his shield to meet him, there was a loud bang, and the iron gun bounced high, Lu Dalin yelled, and smashed it down again, at this moment, his beard and hair were all stretched out, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't want to use any subtle moves. I just smashed it down again with brute force. At this time, Han Ningshou's guards were all gone, and he was surrounded by the Dingzhou Corps. There was not much room for the horse to turn around. However, Lu Dalin was recharging his energy, and under the ebb and flow, Lu Dalin hit the middle three times, and then heard a crackling sound, Han Ningshou's arm was dislocated, and when his complexion changed violently, Lu Dalin's fourth Ha Ningshou was slammed on his body, and Han Ningshou was smashed onto the horse. The horse's hooves softened under the tremendous force, and it fell to its knees. Lu Dalin grinned and stretched out his gun, He lifted Han Ningshou into the air, waited for him to fall, swung his spear backwards, and pumped him into the air again. After three or two blows, Han Ningshou's bones were broken and he couldn't die anymore. When he fell to the ground, his whole body was limp like a cloth bag, and not a single bone was healthy.

"Chop off the head of this dog thief, bring him back to Dingzhou to pay homage to his dead brother, let me hang his body on the flagpole, and let Han Ningqi see what happens when we go against us." Lu Dalin said loudly.

"As ordered, General!"

"Give me a fire to the Qingbu Camp."

"After an hour, the whole army will assemble and rush to Qingding!"

In Qingding, Li Qing led the Guards Battalion and the Whirlwind Battalion and arrived on the day Lu Dalin defeated the Qingpo Camp. On a gentle slope, more than [-] knights gathered at the top of the gentle slope, waiting patiently for Hu He's appearance.

In the evening, the soldiers hurriedly ate some dry food and drank some water, and then seized the time to lie down and rest. They could not tell when there would be a big battle. At this time, they could take a rest and recover a little energy. There will be more hope of surviving.

"Marshal, will Huhe really come? I'm worried that after he gets the news that my elder brother attacked the Qingbu, he will join forces with Qingbu Han Ningqi. Then my elder brother can't stand it?" Lu Da Bing was very worried. Lu Dabing's appointment as a general in the personal guard battalion was an important bargaining chip for the Dingzhou military's reshuffle, but he was extremely happy because Li Qing's personal guard battalion was recognized as the most powerful combat unit in the entire army , and everyone here can become an officer as long as they can survive the battle. Lu Dalin once said to his brothers that if the commander-in-chief can achieve great things in the future, the longer you stay in the guard camp, The strength of our Lu family in the army will become stronger, because you are the former commander of these future generals.

Li Qing looked at the scene that was gradually falling, and said with certainty: "He will definitely come, Hu He will not chase your brother together with Han Ningqi, because he understands that if he joins forces with Han Ningqi, General Lu will be on his feet. Apply oil and run away, he won't get anything, and he chooses to go to Qingding, he is paying attention to the halfway point, maybe he can win a big victory, besides, Qingbu's strength is weaker at this time , the more beneficial it is for the Baibu to unify the grassland, otherwise, what do you think the reason why Hu He baba led the wolf army to approach the Qingbu?"

Jiang Kui laughed and said: "General Lu, don't worry, the commander has no plans, then Hu He will definitely come, I am looking forward to a battle with his Wolf Running Army. It’s really not reconciled to touch it.”

"Jiang Kui, your Whirlwind Battalion is very good. Don't think that you are great because you have defeated the Bai soldiers. Huhelangrun and Bayar's Longxiao are all elite soldiers. At best, you have encountered them before. It's a miscellaneous soldier of the Bai tribe. Hu He has been able to fight the Shiwei people outside the Congling Pass for so long, how can he be friendly? Don't think too badly of the enemy, too stupidly, it will kill you!" Jiang Kui, there is no need for Li Qing to be as flirtatious as he was to Lu Dabing. Hearing Jiang Kui's frivolous tone, which meant that he underestimated the enemy, he immediately reprimanded him politely.

"Yes, Marshal, Jiang Kui will definitely remember what you said!" Jiang Kui was stunned, seeing that the Marshal took Hu He Lang Ben so seriously, the slight contempt in his heart disappeared.

"Don't think about victory, think about defeat first. As a general, you must think carefully. Soldiers are weapons. If you use them carelessly, many people will die in vain," Li Qing continued.

This time, not only Jiang Kui, but also Lu Dabing became serious.

"Of course, I don't say this to make you intimidated. The art of war is dead, but people are alive. The skill of using it is all in one mind. This depends on the general's adaptability. This is also the difference between a good general and a mediocre general. !"

"Here we come!" A bodyguard suddenly shouted in surprise. The sound was like an order. The soldiers who were lying or sitting on the ground all stood up with a clatter, got on their horses, and quickly lined up. It became an attack formation.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Qing's mouth, "Huhe, you're really here, come on, let me scare you, haha!"

"Order to go on, the whole army prepares torches, let us welcome Hu He's wolf running army!"

"Marshal, let's take advantage of his unpreparedness and hit him suddenly, and we will run away!" Jiang Kui yelled, what a great opportunity, the marshal is only going to scare Huhe.

Li Qing laughed, "Hu He is the No. 1 general in the grassland. Since he has the reputation of a famous general, how can he be a man who has earned his reputation? He must have a prominent outpost. If we take the initiative to attack, even if he can destroy his outpost, but don't you Forgot, at this time, he is the one who has the upper hand in terms of military strength. If we win the front, we may lose the rear. If we don't last until Lu Dalin's troops arrive, we will be the ones who will run away. Isn't that just a laughing stock? It's enough for him!"

Before Li Qing could finish his words, everyone heard the sound of horseshoes not far away. Indeed, Hu He sent a team of outposts to scout the way.

"Light it up!" Li Qing ordered.

On the gentle slope, tens of thousands of torches were suddenly lit up, illuminating the area within the square garden. The sound of horseshoes in front suddenly stopped, and then the sound continued again. This time, it became more and more loud. Yue, not far away, the galloping fire dragon suddenly became confused, and soon regained its calm.

"Good general, good soldier!" Li Qing praised, Hu Helang ran into the enemy's situation unexpectedly, he held his ground in such a short period of time, Li Qing had to praise, wolf ran Hu He, when What a rival.

The fire dragons slowly gathered into a sea of ​​flames, arranged neatly in rows, and then slowly came here.

The distance between the two armies was [-] steps, and the approaching wolf army stopped. Under the bright firelight, the wolf's head flag fluttered in the wind, and Hu He's bright eyes looked at Li Qing who was under the Li character banner on the slope.

Nuoqia, who was sent back by Li Qing, has been rebuilt under Huhe's banner, and he and another general, Hauge, are on the left and right, guarding both sides of Huhe.

There was a trace of regret on Hu He's face, "How to fight? Since Li Qing is here, it means that he has already figured out that I will come to Qingding. This young man is really powerful. Da Shanyu underestimated him. Presumably at this time Lu Dalin, who broke through the Qingbu camp, is leading his troops approaching here, if we can't defeat Li Qing in a short time, if we let Lu Dalin's [-] cavalry attack from the side, we will be defeated!"

"Marshal, we can give it a try!" Hauge was eager to try.

"Nuoqia, you fought against Dingzhou soldiers, did you see the Jiang Ziqi on the opposite side, that is your old opponent, what do you think?"

Nuo Qi'a thought about it seriously, and said: "Hushuai, Jiang Kui's Whirlwind Battalion's combat method is very similar to that of our Wolf Running Army. The soldiers are brave and risk their lives. Although we have the upper hand in terms of strength, Li Qing's personal guard battalion's combat effectiveness is very similar to that of our Wolf Running Army. Stronger than the Whirlwind Battalion, the two Dingzhou armies are here, waiting for work at ease, and have the upper hand in terrain. Moreover, they expected us to come, and their morale must be very high. We have no absolute chance of winning this battle , if Lu Dalin's troops arrive, we will be defeated."

"Yeah, you're right. So, I don't want to fight this battle. Presumably, Li Qing also doesn't want to fight." Hu He sighed.

"Why did the commander expect that Li Qing didn't want to fight?" Hauge was a little surprised.

Hu He laughed and said: "If Li Qing wanted to fight, he wouldn't be so open-minded. Instead, after our army approached, he sent his troops to attack me, taking advantage of our army's unpreparedness, and waited for the opportunity to defeat me. Hehe, Li Qing thinks highly of me. Ah, with such an advantage, he still refuses to take risks, it seems that he wants to fight me head-on with an upright teacher and defeat me in the future!"

"It's really not reconciled to retreat like this, and Qingbu has suffered such a loss for nothing!" Hauge said bitterly.

Hu He snorted coldly and said: "If you retreat like this, it will destroy your own prestige. Let us see how powerful Li Qing's soldiers are. Nuoqi, you know Li Qing, go up and tell him, we might as well come to fight the soldiers. , Don’t they have the custom of fighting soldiers in Dachu? After the fighting, no matter the winner or loser, we all go back.”

"Yes!" Nuoqia shouted his orders, and rode his horse up the gentle slope.

"You can't fight a big fight, but it's okay to fight a small one. It will frustrate the spirit of the Dingzhou army!" Hu He smiled with his beard. , but in the long run, the impact will be far-reaching.
