Horse on the World

Chapter 290 War and Wedding

The snow stopped, the wind stopped, and the long-heard sun climbed out from the horizon weakly. The snow covered the snow reflected the light, and it was so bright that people had to close their eyes for a while to adapt to the dazzling light. A goshawk soars high, sometimes spreads its wings, and sometimes glides with its wings closed, enjoying the long-lost sunny day after the snowstorm.

The sky and the earth are very quiet, but this kind of quiet makes the goshawk feel abnormal, because in its sharp eyes, it can clearly see that there are countless human beings standing solemnly on the ground under its feet, piece by piece, piece by piece. , nearly filling its line of sight.The goshawk knows the creatures under its feet, because many of its kind were shot down from the air by these creatures calling themselves humans with long screaming arrows, thus losing their freedom and life, so he flew high, Carefully examine.

The following human beings are more numerous than all the ones he has seen before, but there are many differences. In the past, it saw these human beings riding on horses, shouting loudly, and galloping on horses. There were few people, but Very loud, but it seems different today, there are many people, but it is abnormally quiet, so quiet that he seems to be able to hear the shivering of the rabbits under the snow.

Dong dong dong, suddenly, there was a dull drum sound below, the drum beats became more and more dense, and the sound became louder, and then, the shrill horn sounded from the long copper horn or horn, and the sound of the high-altitude The goshawk in the middle suddenly felt a surge of fighting intent from the bottom of his heart. This feeling only appeared when he was hunting and found the prey. A little absent-minded, he drew his wings suddenly and rushed down like an arrow. .

kill!kill!kill!The huge howling sound almost shattered the goshawk's poor eardrums, but it also woke it up from the trance. An extremely strong coercion came from below, almost making it lose self-control, and almost fell directly to the ground. Come on, spread its wings suddenly, and with a sprint, it flew up into the sky again, looking down, the crowd was slowly moving forward, and every few steps, it would make the kind of shout that made him tremble all over.

terrible!The goshawk turned its head, spread its wings, and hurriedly flew to the distance, it wanted to stay away from this place that made it fear.

This place is called Mawangji.

Lu Dalin stood under the bright red Lu character banner, pointed his whip forward, and his target was Mawangji.

"Today, I want to take it down!" Lu Dalin said with an unquestionable tone, "Today is the commander-in-chief's wedding, we will win the Mawangji, and congratulate the commander-in-chief with the victory and the blood of the barbarians!"

The barbarian general stationed at Mawangji was Wu Gubie, a veteran of the Bai nationality. He only had [-] cavalry and [-] infantry in his hands. A wall that is only a few meters high obviously cannot withstand a single impact from the enemy, not to mention that the enemy in front of him is completely armed to the teeth. Looking at the huge siege equipment that is slowly advancing with their infantry, Ugub has already seen it. The consciousness of dying here.

He simply gave up the obviously vulnerable wall, and he was going to have a field battle with the Dingzhou Army.

Raising the machete in his hand high, Ugubie roared: "Boys, rushing forward is death, and retreating is also death. Do you choose a glorious death or a despicable death?"

"Kill, kill, kill!" He was answered with a loud killing sound.

"Prairie eagles, go to fight! Go and chop off the enemy's head, tie it on your saddle, and show off your martial arts to your heart's content!" Ugubie roared, holding up his machete, from his side, The barbarians rushed out screaming.

Wu Gu's other choice was beyond Lu Dalin's surprise. If Wu Gu had defended the city with infantry and responded with cavalry attacking outside, he might have brought him more trouble, but this kind of solitary throw-and-forget style of play made him feel more vulnerable. Lu Dalin dismissed it, stupid!Lu Dalin sneered.

The drumbeat changed suddenly, the flag was fluttered, dozens of scattered square formations of thousands of people gathered together, and nearly a thousand chariots gathered into a straight line. With the frantic movements of the soldiers pushing the chariots forward, all the chariots were swept away. Connected into one body, the Baifa crossbow carried on the chariot opened its ferocious mouth.

Rows of spearmen stepped forward, their spears raised obliquely, and the rear of the chariot immediately turned into a forest of spears shining with cold light. The spear blades more than a foot long reflected the sunlight and shone brightly.

Behind the spearmen, rows of archers opened their mouths, and the crossbowmen opened their crossbow triggers. Under each of their feet, two crossbows were neatly arranged.

"Block!" A loud shout broke the silence of the archers, countless first-grade bows hummed, and the long arrows shot out of the string, shooting obliquely into the sky, and after flying to the highest point, they suddenly plunged down, breaking Open the enemy's leather armor, splash a little bit of blood, and sweep the flood of enemies out of a blank space.

"Clean up!"

The crossbowmen and the hundred-shot crossbows were launched at the same time, and the short crossbows, which were as dense as migratory locusts, swarmed towards the opposite enemy with frightening screams, drawing afterimages that were hard to see with the human eye.

At the same time, a long whistle sounded in the spear phalanx, and all the spearmen lowered their heads in unison. At the right time, countless arrows fell from the air and landed on their iron armor, making a tinkling sound. The sound, or slipping to the side, or shooting into the body of the soldier along the gap in the iron armor, with the muffled sound, the spearman who fell to the ground was quickly removed, and new soldiers filled in.

Compared with the spearmen in iron armor, the crossbowmen fell more in the confrontation with the barbarians, some people fell down constantly, and people continued to be added. At this time, human lives are just a simple one Symbols, whether it is a general or a soldier, stare indifferently at the approaching enemy. No one cares about the fallen colleagues. Maybe the next one will be yourself.

The cavalry of the Dingzhou Army plunged into the barbarian army from both sides, ignoring the barbarian army approaching forward, but formed two cones and rushed towards the direction of Mawangji.

After firing the hundred-shot crossbow, before it was time to reload the crossbow arrows, the barbarians who had paid a huge price rushed forward. The chariot immediately turned into a city wall, and the gleaming spears thrust out in unison. A wave of blood.

Desperately stepping on the bodies of their companions, the barbarians climbed onto the chariot one after another, roaring and smashed the iron awl and iron bone in their hands into the gun forest, and when the spear passed through their body, they smashed the iron awl in their hands. The broadsword was thrown violently, only to open a gap in this forest of guns, rush out of an open space, and gain a bridgehead for attack.

The clever barbarians lay on the ground and crawled in through the gap between the two wheels of the chariot, but immediately, they found that what greeted them were the solid shields and sharp short blades of the chariot soldiers.

Blood is burning!
The moment the sun leaped out of the horizon, Ma Wangji's golden drums sounded in unison, with a murderous aura, a life-threatening struggle was unfolding between the two sides, but in Dingzhou City, the same sound of golden drums and horns, but With a beaming vibe!The snow in the city has been cleaned up long ago, and the streets paved with stone slabs are spotless. Li Qing, dressed in a bright red auspicious suit, is riding on a tall horse covered in red and colorful, and is leading a huge wedding party and specially made wedding dresses. A Qibaoxiang car, went outside the city to marry his bride——Princess Qingcheng.

The city of Dingzhou is full of festive atmosphere. Every household hangs red lanterns on the lintels. Those who are a little richer even pull some red silk, tie them to the tree in front of the door, and hang them on the railing upstairs. Slowly fluttering.Putting on brand new clothes, standing on the side of the street in front of the door, listening to the sound of the gong that opened the way, listening to the sound of the clear horseshoes, silently counting the time it took for the general to pass here.

Li Qing was full of smiles, after all, it was his day of great joy, and it would be a lie to say that he was unhappy.Today's Tang Hu didn't ride a horse, but walked in front of Li Qing's horse, holding the rein for him. Li Qing smiled and nodded to the people watching the ceremony. Throughout the city.

The city gate of Dingzhou is already in sight. Starting from the city gate, a red carpet has been spread into the big camp of Qingcheng. In the big camp decorated with lights and festoons, the soldiers of the palace guards are covered with red silk, and even the weapons they hold in their hands It was also wrapped in red silk, and lost its ferocity, but showed some joy.The tents around the big tent where Qingcheng lived have been demolished, and the whole big tent is filled with red, pink and white plum blossoms. At the door of the big tent, the old prince Han and Li Tuizhi who are saying auspicious clothes Be beaming, looking at Li Qing who is walking from the city gate.

"Congratulations!" Old Prince Han said to Li Tuizhi with a smile.

"Congratulations!" Li Tuizhi smiled back.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites began to carry out the cumbersome ceremony in an orderly manner.

At noon, the sun finally began to warm up a little. Li Qing finally waited out of boredom for the voice of the old man with white beard to draw out Li Cheng's voice. Under the leadership of the prince, he walked towards Li Qing step by step.

Mawangji, Ugub put all the reserves in his hands into the battle, and even his bodyguards were driven onto the battlefield by him. A person holding a big knife stands under the flag.

The city wall made up of chariots was already dilapidated, and the barbarians had charged into the spearmen, and were engaged in close-range hand-to-hand combat with the swordsmen protecting the spears. The archers and crossbowmen dropped their bows and arrows and pulled out The short sword also joined the close-range battle. At this time, tens of thousands of horses from both sides were completely locked together.

Up to this point in the battle, the general situation has been decided, and Ugubie has invested all his troops, but on Lu Dalin's side, the Changsheng Battalion, the Whirlwind Battalion, and the Selected Front Battalion have not even moved. Only Lu Dalin's direct subordinates in Shanglinli are engaged in the battle. force.

"Chen Xingyue!" Lu Dalin shouted loudly.

"The last general is here!" Chen Xingyue's face was red, and it was finally his turn. On the battlefield, the situation had gradually become one-sided. At this time, it was a good time to hone the recruits.

"Go, let the rookies experience what the battlefield is all about!" Lu Dalin ordered.Chen Xingyue excitedly took the order and left.

Lu Dalin looked across the battlefield, looked at the lonely figure of the barbarian veteran under the city wall of Mawangji in the distance, shook his head slightly, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.

Mawangji already belongs to Dingzhou!
