Horse on the World

Chapter 308 Battle (2)

After being reprimanded by Guo Shanfeng several times, Xiong Dewu finally got rid of his habit of being overly excited before a battle and prefers to go into battle shirtless. Now he is wearing a plate armor specially made by Dingzhou for officers above the battalion. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the protection ability is much better than the ordinary armor worn by ordinary soldiers, and it is also lighter in weight, which is also more conducive to the generals having more physical strength to ensure their own strength when fighting. fighting power.

The Hailing Battalion of thousands of people suddenly split apart and divided into dozens of small phalanxes of hundreds of people. They seemed to be fighting independently, but they were closely connected with each other. Several phalanxes surrounded them, trying their best to limit the horse's speed, even making it difficult for the opponent to move an inch, forcing the opponent to rely on horsepower, while the Dingzhou soldiers stabbed the enemy up and chopped off the horse's legs. The handmen used the hand crossbows they were equipped with, and from time to time they flicked the crossbows, and the cavalry who lost their impact fell into the infantry phalanx, which was the beginning of a nightmare.

Xiong Dewu yelled, brandishing his sharp shield, cutting the horse's legs, cutting the horse's belly, dancing like a windmill, every time the big ax in the other hand rose and fell, the blood that was brought up flew up in strings, suddenly a great killer .

Yalisi gritted his teeth and let most of the cavalry fall into the ocean of infantry. He was quietly preparing to deal a fatal blow to Dingzhou's attacking vehicles and Yunche. In his hands, he also held a secret army.Seeing that the two sides were twisted together, Ya Lisi was ready to exert his strength.

The most elite cavalry was organized by him. Under his leadership, like a sharp knife, he pierced through the weak areas of many Dingzhou soldiers. The combat power of this group of cavalry is obviously much higher than that of others, and their equipment and horsepower are much stronger. This time, the impact immediately smashed a bloody alley on the battlefield.

From a distance, Li Qing saw Yalisi's team, his face couldn't help changing color, and he couldn't help but spit out three words: "Poxi Army!"

The passing mountain wind on one side was not clear, so he asked strangely: "Marshal, what did you say?"

Li Qing smiled wryly, war can indeed greatly destroy people's wisdom. In his image, the Poxi Army appeared in the Song Dynasty. This army was a powerful army in Xixia at that time. In fact, it should be said that it was A technical unit, they set up a stone cannon called a whirlwind cannon on the horse, and bombarded the enemy with great power. Since coming to Dachu, Li Qing has fought against the barbarians for several years, and has never He had seen the appearance of this kind of whirlwind cannon, but now, he actually saw it, and he was fighting with the opponent.

"The opponent's target is our cloud car!" Li Qing said, Xiong Dewu will definitely suffer if he is caught off guard, and these cloud cars may not be able to keep.

While speaking, Yalisi had protruded to the center of the Dingzhou Army, and the whirlwind cannon immediately started to fire, and four or five catties of stones rained down on the tall cloud cart. Although the pillars of the cloud cart were thick and strong, they As long as a few stone bullets hit the key parts, the whole cloud car will be crumbling.

The siege vehicles made rattling noises, and were about to overturn before their eyes. The soldiers on them couldn't help but panic, gave up the heavy crossbows on them, and ran down the stairs with their weapons. Many people hugged the pillars and slid down.

There was a loud rumbling sound, and several siege vehicles were finally overwhelmed by the heavy blow and collapsed. The soldiers of the enemy and us below would be miserable. Such a behemoth will fall down, not counting his huge wooden pillar, but The stone bullets and eight-ox crossbows carried on it will kill people if they are dropped.The screams sounded continuously, and the cloud car fell down, splashing huge snow and fog.

During the fierce battle, Xiong Dewu turned his head sharply and saw the siege cloud vehicle behind him fall down. He was furious, turned around and rushed back again. At this time, the wild cavalry who had finished firing the whirlwind cannon became the target of being slaughtered. Loaded with these stone bombs and whirlwind cannons, they carried pitifully few weapons, and they were slashed and killed by the Dingzhou soldiers who had recovered from their strength. Yalisi, who had completed the task, looked at the siege trucks that had been ten to seven or eight, and the corners of his mouth twitched. With a slight smile, he raised his lips and screamed, and suddenly broke out to the left.

After Xiong Dewu slashed wildly for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses. The cloud car was gone, but the attack would continue. The loss was huge. If he didn't take down a few lines of defense, how could he see people when he went back? He ordered the herald to wave the flag, Hailing The battalion regained its momentum, ignored Yalisi who broke out to the left, and strode forward to the enemy's first line of defense.

"This Xiong Dewu's mind is still very clear!" In the distance, Li Qing saw that Xiong Dewu reacted in time, adjusted his strategy, and grasped his main task. He couldn't help but nodded in approval. It's nothing to build an attacking vehicle and a cloud vehicle. There are many skilled craftsmen in the camp of the Dingzhou Army. In a few days, these losses will be made up for. Li Qing is more concerned about whether the strategic goals set in advance can be achieved.

"Xiong Dewu is not bad!" Guo Shanfeng nodded and said, "It's just that his temper is still a bit dry. After a few more years of training, he will be able to guard one side!"

"That savage is about to escape!" Qingcheng on the side suddenly said.

Guo Shanfeng glanced at it, and said: "I asked Jiang Heiniu to lead the cavalry to intercept it. It made me suffer such a big loss, and I wanted to run so easily, but it was too cheap for them!"

"I'll go!" Qingcheng said suddenly.

"Ah!" Guo Shanfeng was dumbfounded. If it was someone else who spoke, he would definitely scold the other party for not obeying the military order, but it was the handsome wife who said this. clear.

Li Qing smiled slightly. Qingcheng's palace guards are powerful, but they have always been ashamed of not being on a real battlefield. There is a lot of uproar, presumably Qingcheng wants to justify the names of the palace guards, not to mention, in the army, the easiest thing to win the respect of soldiers is that you are stronger than others, kill more enemies, and make the most meritorious deeds.

"Qin Ming can go, but you can't!" Li Qing laughed.

"Why?" Qingcheng pulled up his visor abruptly. At this time, Tienig finally saw Qingcheng's true face.

"No reason!" Li Qing said calmly: "In my Dingzhou army, even a general like Guo Shanfeng is strictly forbidden to fight in person, let alone you are my wife, Dingzhou mistress? How can you personally risk yourself?"

"These barbarians are not in my eyes! There is no danger." Qingcheng said angrily.

"War is not a drill!" Li Qing refused to give in at all, "This is not the royal school!"

Qingcheng was choked with anger, seeing that if he didn't send troops, the barbarians would break through the siege, and waved his hand bitterly, "If you don't go, you won't go, Qin Ming, go, kill this barbarian for me!" Absolutely!"

Qin Ming promised loudly, circled the horse and left.A thousand palace guards roared excitedly, rolling forward like a raging wave.Seeing the previous two fights, the blood of these soldiers was also ignited.

Ya Lisi finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking behind him, there are still more than [-] people breaking out, as long as they stand out from the opponent's infantry quagmire, it is considered a victory.

"Go back!" he shouted loudly, before he finished speaking, the ground trembled suddenly, Yalisi was startled, turned his head suddenly, and saw a cavalry soldier coming towards him like the wind, looking at the company of horses Yalisi's face was a little pale with the army also wearing iron armor. He remembered that this was the palace guard army known as the first army of Great Chu, "Damn it, why are there palace guards here?" At this time, if the horse runs away quickly, it is very likely that the palace guards will cut them off in two from the central army. Although the opponent is coming very fiercely, but the number is not large, it is not that there is no chance of a battle!

"Spread out!" Ya Lisi ordered loudly. Now the group charge and large-scale confrontation have become the opponent's strengths. I try to spread out the troops as much as possible, hoping that the opponent will also spread out the formation, so that I can play to my fullest The advantage in numbers slowly grinds the opponent to death.

He is smart, but Qin Ming is not stupid. He doesn't care how the opponent changes formation. The palace guards just sweep away the enemies in front of them like plowing the courtyard. Manqi, there is no such thing as a man who looks up to his horse, and there is no general at all. In the distance, Qingcheng's face is full of complacency. The palace guard army, the number one army in the world, is not called for nothing.

In a round of rushing, the Thousand Palace Guards were divided into two, with 500 people in each team. They went around in a circle, one left and one right. They wanted to enclose all the enemies in this circle. After the first round of collision Ya Lisi already understood that his several thousand cavalry were not enough for his opponent, not to mention that his army was at the end of its strength, and the fierce battle with Hailing Battalion had consumed too much energy.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Yalisi ordered loudly, and immediately fled away on horseback, the barbarian army's morale dissipated, and confronting this kind of humanoid monster was simply seeking a dead end. As Ya Lisi desperately beat his horse and fled, as for the barbarians surrounded by a thousand palace guards, they waved their weapons in despair, leaving white marks on the opponent's armor, and then they were surrounded by Gao Gao. It was picked up or knocked into the air, and then fell on the snow. The deep red blood soon penetrated the snow.After a few rounds of sprinting, there was no longer any opponent around the palace guards.

There are less than a thousand wild cavalry who can escape back to the main formation with Ya Lisi.

Yalisi, who had only lost less than 2000 men in the fierce battle with Xiong Dewu for nearly an hour, this time, in just a few breaths, [-] men were still on the icy snow.

"My son-in-law, what is the strength of my palace guard?" Qingcheng asked Li Qing proudly.

"Very powerful!" Li Qing gave a thumbs up. "Worthy of being the number one army in the world!"

After receiving Li Qing's praise, Qingcheng was elated, like a proud little rooster, raised her head high, watching Qin Ming and others slowly ride back.

At this time, Xiong Dewu's Hailing Battalion was approaching the first line of defense of the barbarians, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle was launched.Xiong Dewu's burly figure was particularly conspicuous. When Li Qing looked over, he was leaping onto a parapet, waving his shield to separate the stabbing spears, followed by raising his big axe, and jumping down with a roar.Behind him, rows of Hailing Battalion soldiers rushed up like a tide.
