Horse on the World

Chapter 306

The first battle of Bayan Hara did not start in the east city where the elite gathered in Dingzhou. The first to attack was the allied forces of Guoshanfeng and Tienig in the direction of the west city.

Tie Nige finally met the legendary Dingzhou coach Li Qing, who in Guo Shanfeng's mouth was a hero, invincible, invincible, and within a few years, they would be suppressed to the point that they could not hold their heads up for hundreds of years The commander who has beaten the barbarians to the point where he is now dying.

It was not Li Qing who shocked him first, because it was not Li Qing who appeared in front of him first, but a sea of ​​iron armor. Seeing the heavy cavalry with even their mounts in iron armor, Tie Nige felt a little breathless. Difficulty, those tall horses are not uncommon among them Shiwei people, but it is impossible to find so many to equip the army at one time.

"This is not the commander's personal army, but the guard of the commander's wife, Princess Qingcheng!" Guo Shanfeng introduced to him in a low voice.

"This is just the lady's guard. Then, what is the size of the commander's army?" Tie Nige swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and laughed without answering. Qing Dao has always wanted to build one, but it is too expensive, and it is not easy to gather so many load-bearing horses, so he gave up on this matter. After searching the entire Dingzhou Army, only Qingcheng led the army. There are 1000 people here, and there are still 500 people who are still fighting in Dingzhou with Yan Nanfei, Xu Yunfeng and other Fuzhou officials!

The heavy cavalry separated slowly, and the two cavalry came out more and more. Tienig couldn't help but straighten his eyes. He saw that the crowd was guarding the two of them, one of them was covered with iron armor, and his face was covered with iron armor like the others. After that, the other person was dressed in a light robe, wearing a Tsing Yi, his long black hair was only tied behind his head with a cloth belt, his lips and beard were neatly trimmed, and he had an air of calm and prestige. The imposing manner, with a sword hanging on the horse's back, but no matter how it looks, it doesn't look like the attire that should be on the battlefield.

From Guo Shanfeng, Tienige heard that Li Qing was a horse-riding general with extraordinary skills, so it should be the general in full body clothes, but that scholar-like man was so imposing that Tieni immediately let him go. Ge was a little confused and didn't know who to say hello to.

Guo Shanfeng next to him snatched off his horse, put one knee on the ground, and said: "Master Guo Shanfeng, Yishan, see the commander, madam!"

With the movement of the mountain wind, Tienig immediately identified who Li Qing was, but that guy in iron armor turned out to be Li Qing's wife, the Princess Qingcheng. Princess Qingcheng, who was the mistress of Dingzhou, was dressed like this, as if she was going to charge at any time, which was in stark contrast to Li Qing's comfort.

Swinging the saddle off the horse, Tienig stroked his chest with his left hand and said loudly, "Marshal Li, your friend Tienig greets you!"

Li Qing laughed and jumped off the horse, rushed forward, grabbed Tienig with both hands, and said: "Prince Tienig, I have heard about you for a long time, and I am finally able to meet you today. It is very fortunate!" Princess Qingcheng sat on the horse , just nodded slightly, and didn't even pull up her mask. As the princess of Shang Kingdom, she naturally didn't need to make excuses for the prince of a small and barbaric country.

Pulled by Li Qing, Tie Nige, who had just given half of the salute, stood up straight, looked at Li Qing, and praised: "Mount Tai collapsed before, but the color did not change. In the midst of the war, the commander can still be so relaxed and freehand." , Tienig is far inferior!"

Li Qing said with a smile: "It's not really a big battle. Bayar is already on the verge of death and vulnerable. In the battle of Bayan Hara, I just want to see how the men under my command took down this city. I don't need it I will go into battle myself, so naturally I don’t have to be so nervous!”

When Tienig heard this, his face couldn't help but feel uneasy. You don't have to go to battle yourself. Watching the boys fight, I'm still ready to fight here. It sounds like I've become your soldier too. I can't help but After making up his mind, he doesn't have to fight in person in future battles.

Hao laughed and said: "The commander-in-chief has a lot of talents, and Tienig has a hundred thousand tigers under his command. I would like to accompany the commander-in-chief to watch them defeat the enemy!"

A cold snort came from behind Li Qing, Qingcheng was very impatient, Tienig actually put herself in the same position as Li Qing, which made her extremely upset, bah, what a hundred thousand tigers, most of them are Li Qing didn't know what he was thinking about bringing the equipment from Dingzhou, but he was willing to provide him with complete equipment, even if it was the old armor eliminated by the Dingzhou army, it couldn't be so cheap, you barbarian, look now, After feeding him, it will be another turn of events.

Li Qing didn't take it seriously, he laughed and held Tienig's hand, and said, "I'm just about to see the bravery of Shi Wei. I heard that Shi Wei is a hero, and his immediate skill is better than that of the barbarians." Nothing less than that, I can feast Li Qing's eyes today."

"Li Shuai sees Shi Wei's men defeating the enemy!" Tie Nige was also arrogant, and the two finalized the order of battle in a few words. Shi Wei's army took the lead in attacking. Dashuai, you are too tender.

Bayan Har's defense system, although a complete copy of Fuyuan's three-dimensional defense system, is slightly different. The barbarians are people on horseback, and field battles on horseback are their strengths. Although they have built a large number of fortifications, But between these fortifications, there are still tens of thousands of cavalry relying on its cover to fight in formation. It is more difficult to fight than Fuyuan. Moreover, although Bayan Hara is at the end of the road, it is not short of soldiers. This battle There are also fights, the commander-in-chief's strategy is to fight first and then get sleepy, and will not fight head-on. Now the commander-in-chief has decided to let the Shiwei people take the lead in a few words. It seems that he is determined to consume the strength of the Shiwei people. .

Looking at Nige, who is full of ambitions, Guoshanfeng sighed in his heart. The grassland and even the traditional areas of Shiwei people are the back garden of the two states in the commander's heart. Let Shiwei's family grow up again, wouldn't that mean driving wolves out of the front door and tigers in through the back door?If Tienig was smart, he would honestly submit to Li Qing. Now that he is so arrogant, he thinks he has [-] soldiers under his command, so he wants to fight against the general.
Naturally, Tienig, who boasted about Haikou, would not lose face in front of Li Qing, who had just met him for the first time. Those who were ordered to fight were all the elite of his headquarters. Amidst the roar of [-] cavalry, a battle line was spread across several miles of fans, jumping Daowudao, rushing towards the barbarians amidst the screams of killing.

The barbarian general defending on the western front is Bayar's right-hand man, Boyan, who is extremely experienced in war.It was the elite of the Huang Department under him who fought in formation.This is also a group of old fighters. After the 1 people attacked by the Shiwei people, three conical attack groups formed in a very short period of time, and they rushed forward amidst the howling sound.

The three attack groups plunged into the Shiwei cavalry who came from all over the mountains. "Pierce through!" The leading general shouted wildly.

The Shiwei people's skill in controlling horses is indeed not inferior to that of the barbarians. The two armies were separated by a hundred steps, and they drew bows and arrows on the horses. Suddenly, arrows rained down on the battlefield, and people from both sides fell off their horses from time to time, drowning the horses. among.

Seen from a distance, the cavalry of the Huangbu cavalry remained concentrated, but the Shiwei people were like peeling onions. Although the formation of the Huangbu was thinned layer by layer, they were still unable to break up the formation, and kept letting the opponent The main force gathered together, plowing a bloody mess among the Shiwei cavalry, and the ratio of battle damage between the two sides has always remained above the ratio of one to one.

"Beat the drum!" Seeing the fierce battle for half an hour, but still unable to open up the situation, and his formation was almost pierced by the enemy several times, Tienig couldn't help but shouted orders.

Dozens of cowhide drums were about to be beaten, and the Shiwei people who heard the sound of the drums shouted wildly and mustered up their courage. Huang Bu seemed unable to resist, and began to circle the horse's head, making an arc, but fought and walked away. , retreated to the defensive position, and when it was hundreds of meters away from the position, the remaining thousands of cavalry from the three groups of yellow cavalry had gathered together and rushed towards their position like the wind.

The higher the sound of the drum, the more happy Tienig's face was, and he finally repelled the enemy.

Two hundred paces, hundreds of catapult crossbows, eight-ox crossbows, and strong crossbows were suddenly erected on the barbarian army's position. Rows of barbarian soldiers stood up on the simple fortress built in the position, pointed their bows upward, and gave an order, The arrows were like locusts, the stones were like rain, and the Shiwei cavalry who were chasing the Huangbu were caught off guard and suffered a big loss. The formation was swept away, and the front and rear troops were immediately out of touch. The cavalry of the Yellow Department reined in their horses and rushed back, plunged into the scattered cavalry of Shiwei, and killed them randomly. Hurry up, this time the Shiwei people have learned how to be good, and dare not chase too close to the position.

The [-] yellow cavalry, using the cover of the defensive position, unexpectedly held up the [-] powerful Shiwei cavalry forcefully.

"Bo Yan is a fast learner!" Li Qing laughed.

Tie Nige felt that his face was greatly damaged, his face was ashen, and as soon as he reached out to snatch the drumstick, he wanted to attack again.

Li Qing grabbed him and said with a smile: "Brother Tie, it's just a small setback. These barbarians are so cunning that they won't fight you head-on. The Shiwei cavalry has demonstrated their courage. Let the Dingzhou army fight it next." Let your cavalry withdraw to rest for a while, accumulate strength, sum up experience, and teach them a hard lesson next time."

Tie Nige nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Shuai Li, for your understanding. Let the brothers of the mountain shifter fight first, let's take a rest, and must sweep the defensive positions in front of the commander."

After receiving the general's order, Guo Shanfeng began to deploy troops. Unlike the Shiwei cavalry, Guo Shanfeng dispatched infantry, the commander of the battalion, Xiong Dewu.

Rows of chariots lead forward, every 300 people line up in a neat square formation, and advance slowly. Soldiers in more than a dozen square formations shouted neatly, and began to press forward in order. In the empty space, a siege cloud chariot slowly moved forward with the infantry. On top of the cloud chariot, more than a dozen strong crossbows and catapults were ready.
