Horse on the World

Chapter 204 Hard fight
At the dawn of dawn, a dynamite shot up into the air in the Bai camp at the foot of the mountain. Along with the sharp whistle, groups of barbarian soldiers rushed out of the camp and approached the foot of the mountain.Hu He is not in a hurry, Li Qing is the commander of Dingzhou, he is surrounded here, Dingzhou will definitely send troops to come to rescue, but the commander's Long Xiao army is also approaching here to intercept the reinforcements, if Dingzhou is alone With one throw, the Great Shanyu will mobilize more tribal troops to participate, and the battle with Dingzhou will be carried out ahead of schedule. Although fighting in winter is not good for the grasslands, Li Qing, the commander of Dingzhou, is in a desperate situation, but he will take these disadvantages All the effects will be offset. As long as Li Qing is eliminated, Dingzhou's resistance will collapse, and the grassland army will drive straight in without hindrance.

The cavalry is at a disadvantage when attacking with their backs up. On the hillside in front of them, there are boulders and logs scattered everywhere, and the opponent has dug countless tunnels. There is only one passage with a width of less than tens of meters. To attack, Li Qing must have prepared countless surprises for him before that passage.

The cavalrymen dismounted, turned into pawns, held a giant shield, and started to attack. Hu He decided to fight a war of attrition with Li Qing, consuming Li Qing's strength bit by bit, until finally launched a thunderous blow, Hu He felt that You have plenty of time to do this by yourself.In the direction of Dingyuan, he has deployed heavy troops, enough to resist the rescue of the Dingzhou army, and he does not want to believe that Dingzhou has troops stronger than the personal guard battalion.Li Qing's army doesn't have too many arrows. When the opponent's arrows are exhausted, it is the time when the two armies meet each other. Li Qing stayed on Baideng Mountain.

Hu Hyuk, who was in deep thought, saw his soldiers approaching the opponent's defense line, and then rained spears from the mountain, hitting the giant shield, clanging, the soldiers holding the giant shield couldn't bear it a little bit, the giant shield If it is skewed, it will be nailed to the ground by a rain of spears.

When it was closer, the soldiers on the mountain stood up, and together they held up the pole and threw it down, knocking down the attacking soldiers row by row, and often at this time, these Dingzhou soldiers would also be roared down the mountain shot down by sharp arrows.But what made Hu He shake his head is that the opponent's armor is too good, even if he is hit by an arrow, it will not cause too much injury, and it will not even affect the opponent's combat. Hu He saw a Dingzhou soldier who was stabbed to the ground Like a hedgehog, but also a dragon and a tiger violently raised the pole and smashed it wildly.

Holding an arrow in his hand, Hu He sighed, Dingzhou is really rich, this arrow is actually all made of iron, and the arrow is in the shape of a triangular prism, instead of the flat arrow used on the grassland.

The battle has gradually entered into a fierce state. The soldiers of the Bai nationality are good at fighting in the field and fighting immediately. They are not so handy for this kind of offensive and defensive operations. The huge casualties have aroused the wildness of these soldiers. They roared and charged upward regardless. Relying on the superiority in numbers, they slowly approached Li Qing's first line of defense.

The Dingzhou army began to counterattack. From the specially reserved passage, hundreds of soldiers from the personal guard battalion, led by two leading soldiers, Lu Dabing and Tang Hu, rushed out, rushed all the way along the gentle slope, and directed the attack The infantry were smashed and scattered in all directions. After several consecutive rounds of charging, the little fighting spirit that had just been aroused by the Bai people was wiped out, and the cadres fought cleanly.Tang Hu's double knives had already been chopped off. This round of attack, the guard camp left dozens of brothers outside, and it is impossible for them to return.

Lu Dabing, who was covered in blood, wiped off the blood on his hands and the handle of his gun, and walked up to Li Qing, "Marshal, the barbarians' attacks are getting more and more fierce. You really don't want to die!"

Li Qing smiled, "Da Soldier, it's still early, the real bloody battle is yet to come."

Lu Dabing smiled and said: "Don't worry, anyway, the soldiers come to block, the water comes and the soil floods, even if they want to capture our position? Just dream, I just don't know how many days it will take? Marshal, tell me, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Woolen cloth?"

Li Qing shook his head, "This is what I'm most worried about. If Shang Haibo sends all his Dingzhou soldiers to rescue us, the prairie barbarians will also send a large number of troops here. Then, the decisive battle between us and the barbarians will come early. What I don't want to see, but Bayar is so happy, because now he has me as a bait here, which can attract all the Dingzhou soldiers. If Shang Haibo really does this, we will be attacked more violently. "

Lu Dabing's expression changed slightly, "Marshal, what do you mean?"

Li Qing didn't make a sound. If Shang Haibo can see through this situation, he should let Lu Dalin gather his troops and go straight to the grassland to suppress Bayar and prevent him from sending more troops here, but if he doesn't send more troops here If so, how can I get out of trouble?Just relying on Wang Qinian's Qi Nian teacher, it is definitely impossible to break through the line of defense that Hu He is waiting for. This time, I carelessly underestimated the enemy. I really underestimated the heroes of the world, and let myself fall to the point where I can't advance or retreat. Looking at the dense barbarian camp at the foot of the mountain, Li Qing really felt like he was at the end of his rope.

The shouting and killing sounded again from the bottom of the mountain. Lu Dabing rubbed his numb arms and walked towards the defense line. This time it was Jiang Kui's turn to counterattack, and he was going to take over Jiang Kui's command of the defense line.Annoyed Li Qing also stood up and walked forward, several personal guards hurriedly followed him and hugged him in the middle.

Li Qing picked up a first-grade bow, stretched out his hand to push aside a guard standing in front, drew the bow and fired an arrow, aimed at a barbarian in front of him, and shot it with a whoosh. He wanted to kill a barbarian to discourage him, but Li Qing Qing's arrow technique is really not flattering, but this arrow is a little higher, and the barbarian's fur hat was shot far away, but he didn't hurt anyone, "Bah!" Li Qing spat hard , It's really unlucky, drinking cold water can get stuck between the teeth, this distance is less than fifty steps, and I missed it, this arrow technique is too stinky.

Seeing the commander make a fool of himself, several guards raised their bows and set arrows at the same time, aiming at the barbarian who had just escaped from birth and was covered in cold sweat. Before he could recover, several sharp arrows roared towards Li Qing. The guards all used armor-piercing arrows, they pierced through the barbarian immediately, and fell to the ground.

Li Qing felt uneasy, and walked back, holding the knife and watching the barbarians roaring and attacking.

One day passed after several attacks by the barbarians were repulsed. On the mountain, the arrows in the hands of Dingzhou soldiers were running out. Tomorrow, there would be a fierce hand-to-hand battle.

"General, we lost hundreds of brothers today, and some wounded may not be saved." Jiang Kui walked to Li Qing's side and said in a low voice. "The medicines of the camp medical officer have been given away, and now he can only watch the wounded helplessly without help."

"Let's go, take me to see the wounded, tomorrow, tomorrow's battle may be more intense." Li Qing took a deep breath. "More soldiers will die and be wounded."

In the middle of the night, a group of black cavalry rushed towards Baideng Mountain like a ghost. This force was the special brigade secretly established by Li Qing in Dingzhou.

A considerable part of the special brigade was not from the Dingzhou army, but some martial arts masters recruited from the rivers and lakes when Qingfeng was formed, and then selected a group of particularly outstanding soldiers from the army to form such a thousand-strong army. Troops, starting from the formation of the team, Qingfeng used his power to equip the troop with the best armor and the sharpest weapons. Whenever the Dingzhou Craftsman Battalion researched a new type of weapon, the first to equip it must be This special brigade, after Li Qing took over the command of the special brigade from Qingfeng, and after seeing the terrifying power of this team, he spared no effort to support the needs of this team.

The armor of the special brigade is a full-finish steel plate armor that is only equipped by officers in the entire Dingzhou. Its protective performance is much stronger than that of iron armor, and more importantly, it is much lighter than iron armor. This also makes this army wear horses. A, Li Qing's idea of ​​building armored cavalry has finally been realized to a certain extent. This army is a simple version of armored cavalry. Although it does not have such a strong impact, it allows the soldiers' mobility and flexibility. Greatly enhanced, this is much better than a mounted cavalry.

The sabers of the special brigade are all made of fine steel, which is the kind of steel Li Qing himself used. Each knight is also equipped with a bayonet, a hand crossbow, and a hand crossbow that shoots five shots in a row. It has not been fixed yet, but the special brigade has been using it for a long time.The stabbing gun is not an ordinary one that shatters when stabbed, but an all-iron product specially made for these team members. Only these soldiers who have been selected from thousands of people can withstand the huge shock force of sprinting on horseback. Long-term and rigorous training has also taught them how to avoid this danger.

It was these that gave Shang Haibo a little confidence to let this army sneak into the battlefield to snatch the commander out. As for the others, Shang Haibo basically had no hope, he could only do his best and obey the destiny.

The captain of the special brigade is a martial arts master Qingfeng recruited from the rivers and lakes, named Wang Yan.The weapon he is good at is actually the rare meteor hammer, which is extremely powerful. After honed in the army for a long time, the original martial arts habits have disappeared, replaced by a rigorous military style. After Li Qing took over, he wanted to get rid of him To reduce Qingfeng's influence in the special brigade, but after observing for a while, he found that this person really has the potential to become an excellent officer, and because of his personal bravery, he has already accumulated a lot of reputation in the special brigade. Forget it, just equip him with a deputy who was born in the personal guard battalion to restrain him.

At this time, Wang Yan led his special team with grass and a horse with a title, and even the horse's hooves were wrapped in a thick layer of soft cloth, sneaking silently on the grassland.The intelligence personnel of the Statistical Investigation Division had provided Bayar with his intelligence department in advance.

At this time, Wang Yan was frowning and looking at Bayar's defense map, "It seems that the only way is to forcefully rush up Baideng Mountain, the damn barbarians actually surrounded Baideng Mountain like an iron barrel." Wang Yan said angrily , "This is the defensive area of ​​the Red Department. The combat power of the Red Department is not as good as that of the Wolf Running Army, so we will break through and go up the mountain from here."

"General Wang, it's easy for us to rush up the mountain, but how do we go down the mountain? I believe that once we break through the defense of Lang Ben, Hu He will definitely prevent us from breaking through again!" asked his deputy, Li Shengzhi from the personal guard camp.

Wang Yan threw his head, "I don't know either. After going up the mountain, the commander-in-chief will command us. We will do what the commander-in-chief says!"

"Get ready to go! Give the barbarians a hard blow and tear their defense!" Wang Yan weighed the meteor hammer in his hand.
