Chapter 593 Whirlwind Slash(1/2)

Being looked down upon by Li Kui is not a big deal.

Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty was often despised by Li Kui. Of course, this contempt was behind the scenes. Li Kui would not show his evil and meaningful smile in front of Zhao Xu.

If you really do this, wouldn’t you be dying?

What would an official who even his own emperor despises him for doing things?

But in Li Kui's opinion, this is indeed the case. Emperor Zhao Xu is just like this. Except for the many wives, it is just like this. However, Zhao Xu can't afford to have so many wives. Many emperors' concubines are still a few of them when the emperor dies. When countless wives are gone, they will not be as good as that.

There is also the embarrassing scene of being scolded by Li Kui in public. At that time, Li Binggan was nothing, but even if Li Binggan overthrew the Liang regime with the help of Li Kui, he was still despised by Li Kui, which was unbearable.

The eastern land, the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, and the Western Xia Dynasty are considered the most powerful country.

Two of the emperors were despised by Li Kui, such as Aligu, the king of the Kingdom of Gesila, who was entrenched in the Hehuang land. If you want to be despised by Li Kui, you still have no chance?

Speaking of which, Li Kui despises Gui Tong, the guard general of Qingtang, Lanzhou, because he respects him!

But Gui Tong must not think so. He doesn't know Li Kui, nor does he know Li Kui's glory. He only knows one thing. The Song people of 3,000 people actually despised the General of the Li Siluo Kingdom, who held 15,000 powerful soldiers. How could he tolerate this?

What's more, Guitong doesn't think he has any reason to fail.

The Song army was too arrogant.

Arrogance has to pay the price for arrogance. The best price is that the Song army was wiped out by him. Then he obtained all the cavalry equipment of the Song army.

Thinking of the Song army's cavalry equipment, even Gui Tong couldn't help swallowing, which was so tempting.

In Guitong's eyes, the Song army was not three thousand elite, but three thousand sheep in armor. But reality would soon defeat and smash his confidence. When he discovered the power of the Song army, it would be too late to say anything.

"Get this general's armor quickly!"

Guitong, who came down from the city, immediately thought of his precious cavalry armor.

When the two countries had a good relationship, the Song Dynasty and the Silo Kingdom set up a tribute field with each other. The Silo Kingdom used war horses, cattle and sheep produced in Qingtang to exchange for tea and iron tools from the Song Dynasty. However, the weapons such as armor were definitely not within the scope of the transaction. However, the Song Dynasty also had a trading model - tribute. Starting from the Western Han Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty would accept tributes from the Western Regions or small countries from overseas every year.

At the height of the Tang Dynasty, the tribute trade reached its peak.

Chang'an even once had 100,000 envoys from various countries, and they refused to leave...

Although the Song Dynasty was not as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, even the weakest Central Plains dynasty would have more or less favored and loyalty from some small countries. The Kingdom of Yeshila was a firm younger brother of the Song Dynasty. The Kingdom of Yeshila also regularly contributed tribute to the Song Dynasty in exchange for some luxury goods that could not be traded. The Song Dynasty's exquisite craftsmanship and well-made armor were undoubtedly the most enviable reward for the warriors of the Kingdom of Yeshila.

The Song Dynasty also gave it to you, but there were not many, but it was enough for the king of the Sila Kingdom to distribute these armor to his confidant generals.

Guitong has a family-born armor, tiger-headed fish scale armor.

This armor is actually nothing in the Song Dynasty. Even if it is a well-crafted armor costing one or two hundred jin, it is affordable for the Song army.

At least the cavalry can be equipped.

Compared to the Central Plains, a war horse with good quality is priced at a price of thousands of guan at any time, and a piece of armor is nothing.

Gui Tong knew that his armor was not very good among the Song army, and it would be even better if he had a piece of armor for generals. He set his sights on the big black armor under the big banner in the Song army formation.

More majestic than his, more shiny than his, especially the black reflection of the war horse under his crotch, which was as bright as satin under the sun. The ghost eyes couldn't help but want to occupy everything about this ignorant Song General.

Otherwise, it was a native of a small place in a remote mountainous area. Gui Tong never thought that there was a great devil in the Song army, and this person's name was Li Kui. At this moment, Li Kui's clothes were covered with Gui Tong's eyes.

He rushed out of the city gate with his personal guards, raised his hand and pointed his long sword at the Song army and shouted to the surroundings: "My sons, follow me to kill you and leave the Song general under the banner to me. I will chop him alive!"

These words were filled with momentum, and a group of scattered soldiers from the country who were unknown but were full of confidence shouted: "Ghost Eyes!"

"Ghost Eyes!"

It seems that at this moment, the name of ghost eyes can really resound throughout the earth and become an eternal legend on the land of Hehuang.

Confidence is a very strange thing. Screaming a few words seems to be useful.

The ghost pupil immediately stood with a sword, and behind them was the Lanzhou City they sneaked down. More and more foreign soldiers rushed out from the city gate. This was an opportunity for the cavalry. Taking advantage of the enemy's foothold, they suddenly launched an attack and could achieve miraculous results.

The deputy general of the Song army's cavalry is Zhang Chuan.

He looked at Li Kui nervously at the unmoved Li Kui. The Song army had stopped marching and was just outside the city of Lanzhou, which was 1,500 steps and about four miles away. This distance would most likely break the formation of the foreign soldiers and rush into Lanzhou City in one breath.

Zhang Chuan kindly reminded: "Sir, do you order a drum charge!"

"Charge, are you stupid? We are all cavalry, and the battlefield of cavalry is in the wilderness. Are cavalry or cavalry rushing into the city? Besides, if we have infantry support, we can try to rush and wait until the city gate is occupied and then turn into the city to fight. Unfortunately, we are cavalry, and cavalry should cut off the opponent's head on the grassland!"

Li Kui said it, but he did not issue a military order.

Zhang Chuan was really anxious and said anxiously: "Sir, you must not miss the opportunity!"

"You know a hammer. It seems like an opportunity, but it is really an opportunity?" Li Kui has never commanded cavalry operations. This is among the Song army, but in Xixia, he has commanded 20,000 cavalry. But even so, he understood one thing: no matter how big the battle formations of tens of thousands of troops were, the three or five thousand people were still taking a decisive role in the battlefield.

The Song cavalry under Li Kui's current command just agreed with this condition.

Although rushing into the city was a huge deterrent to the foreign soldiers, for Li Kui, the gain was not worth the effort. Without the coordination of infantry, the battle situation might be stalemate. Especially after Gao Qiu's infantry arrived at the battlefield as soon as two days later. He simply gave up the siege and said to Zhang Chuan: "Order the entire army to enter the slope of the rear."

"Sir, what if the foreign soldiers rushed over?"

Although Zhang Chuan was familiar with Li Kui, he could only be timid in the past and had no say in his words. But cavalry combat is his expertise. In his opinion, although Li Kui was extremely brave on the battlefield and had an outstanding record. However, Li Kui's previous operations were coordinated with infantry and cavalry, and Li Kui was commanding in the infantry formation. In Zhang Chuan's view, Li Kui was completely a layman in the battle against cavalry.

Zhang Chuan wanted to persuade him, mainly because he thought it was an opportunity.

After all, the Song army is definitely at a disadvantage when comparing the number of people.

But no matter how much he said, he could not refute a fact. As long as Li Kui was in the army, he would not be effective in saying anything.

Especially Ruan Xiaoer rolled his eyes and said disdainful to Zhang Chuan: "Zhang Chuan, you can't follow Li Yun. Look at the man, follow my young master to Xixia. Not to mention my young master, even your second master has commanded thousands of cavalry battles. My young master is in Xixia, and at most, he commanded a hundred thousand troops. Five hundred and ten thousand. Have you heard of it?"

Ruan Xiaoer's arrogant expression said that he was "Second Master", but it sounded like "Second Master" in Zhang Chuan's ears, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Chuan was extremely shocked. He stared at Ruan Xiaoer with an ugly face and said to himself: "Isn't it just a blowjob? Do you think I can't?"

Unfortunately, Zhang Chuan also knew that the senior official was crushing people to death. For military generals, even if the civil servants on the battlefield killed everyone, there was no way.

"Brother, don't worry. Listen to you, he is better at fighting than you."

If someone else said this, Zhang Chuanfei would show the general's might and train him well. But when he turned his head, he found that it was his cousin. He seemed to have a sharp knife in his heart, full of betrayal anger. Even his cousin could not trust him, let alone other generals and soldiers of Feilian's army.

In desperation, Zhang Chuan had to order: "Listen to Lord Li."

The Song army began to turn the whole team, with a total of only 3,000 cavalry, and it was very easy to mobilize in the wide field. But Guipeng was different. He had more than 10,000 people under his command. After occupying Lanzhou, he found that there was a lot of food and some recruited, and the total strength had reached 15,000. It was not easy for such an army to consolidate the army and fight.

"General, the Song people are going to escape!"

Guitong was anxious when he saw that Song Jun wanted to escape.

In his opinion, the Song army would not have cavalry fighting at all. He was worried before, and was afraid that the Song army would suddenly attack while he was reorganizing the army at the city gate and catch him off guard.

But when he saw the scene of Song Jun leaving, he was filled with confidence and thought that he was sure to win.

It is reasonable for three thousand cavalry to escape in the face of more than 10,000 cavalrymen. The people around Guitong were not saying the wrong thing.

But he didn't expect that Li Kui did not let the Song army take the illusion of evacuation, but actually ran diagonally on the slope. Going straight up the slope would consume a lot more for war horses, but cutting diagonally on the uphill would consume a lot less for war horses.

This is a tactic he learned from the Xixia people.

A tactic of field combat.

This tactic is not used in the Song army. However, the principle of cavalry sprinting to occupy the high ground is the same.

Guitong saw a large amount of wealth slipping away from her eyes and shouted to her subordinates: "How many people are still in the city?"

"General, at least five thousand men and horses, our war horses are all raised throughout the city, and many soldiers have not found their war horses. The city is probably in a mess."

My subordinates had no choice but to report to the truth.

Gui Tong cursed: "A group of mobs, now the military achievements are right in front of me. How can they ruin my good deeds? They don't have to leave the city, and cheer for the general on the top of the city."

Guitong also knew that the expansion of the army would bring a lot of trouble. For example, the army's speed of the army's army and the formation of charge. In addition, the cavalry training of the Kingdom of Yeshila was not as good as the elite of the Western Xia, and it was acceptable to be more casual. But if the Song army ran away, he would have no place to regret it.

Decisively ordered: "The whole army chases after you!"

The Qingtang cavalry began to let the war horses trot and bit the Song cavalry.

The physical energy consumed by the war horse charge is too strong. Once the charge is too early, it will be an immeasurable loss of combat power. Guipun is still clear about this.

The distance was not much closer, but Gui Tong muttered in his heart: "The sun seems to be not right!"

The Song army, who was walking on the slope, seemed to have no intention of escaping. This forced him to cheer up. Could it be that the Song army can also have cavalry tactics, and it is better than his?

it's out of the question!

Guitong just thinks about it, because pursuit is a long process, a process that tests the army's patience. At the same time, when he rides on a horse, he can't be as excited as burning blood. The cavalry needs to restrain his emotions. At the moment of the attack, it bursts out like a ignited bonfire.

Most of the time, the cavalry is silent and a long waiting process.

Just like a hunter, a hunter chasing his prey, if he is like a wild boar that accidentally penetrates the bush, he will never want to catch a decent prey in his life.

Guitong is not a fool, he is still a bit of a trick.

At the same time, he also needs to keep observing the terrain.

As the two armies pursued each other longer, it was not too long. However, the poor discipline of the foreign soldiers has been exposed.

Guitong found that the team was too long and shouted to the deputy beside him: "Come on, let everyone keep up."

Just when he gave the order, before he could pass it down.

Suddenly, the personal guards beside him shouted: "General, Song Jun has turned a corner!"

Gui Tong raised his head and found that at this moment, his heart suddenly became nervous. While he was realizing it, the Song army decisively turned the corner. After turning the corner, the Song army turned its back to the sun. Standing at a higher place, the Song army began to activate the war horses. At the moment when he accelerated, he suddenly realized that this Song army might not be easy to deal with.

But even if it is difficult to deal with, Gui Tong has enough confidence, and he has the elite under the tent of the five thousand kings.
