Chapter Seventeen
This is a hell of swords, fire, blood and flesh. The voice of the Xiang army and the civilians shouting "Fight!" was a little weak. Everyone was unwilling to let go and rushed out with a bloody energy. By this time, they were already a little tired. The Dangxiang cavalry gathered around them and reacted and killed them. Countless iron cavalrymen were galloping in the fire with huge strong wind. They waved their swords, and each time they brought out a bloody light, chopping down the Han people without armor protection to the ground.
Li Jiqian led more than 300 iron kites to the mutiny. He immediately relied on his role as an envoy of Zhifan, and immediately coordinated with the eight tribes of the Dangxiang tribes that had been in a hurry to react due to the surprise attack. The leaders of all tribes gathered the most elite warriors in the tribe and ran back and forth in the many rear formations of the Han army. Li Jifeng also ordered the Xiazhou army to set up defense lines outside the rear formation to prevent the mutiny Han people from attacking other camps. After the arrangement was stopped, he fought against the mob with a strong battle. The entire Dingnan Army formed a slaughterhouse surrounded by the prefecture army. More than ten elite cavalrymen of the Dangxiang were running back and forth in the battlefield. The Dangxiang people used swords as plows, and each trip was through the empty camps of the Han people. It was a flesh-and-blood alley, and countless unarmed Huanzhou Xiangjun and civilians fell in a pool of blood.
The Marquis of Yu Wan Jian was also said to be able to fight among the Huanzhou border troops. In the past, because he was not tall enough, he was unable to be elected as the imperial guards. At this moment, he was surrounded by the most powerful soldiers among the more than 20,000 civilians in the wing. More than 4,000 people in the wing army gathered into a dense group, holding long wooden sticks and stolen swords to attack the Dangxiang Cavalry outside. The tribal cavalry that rushed to the formation had the idea of avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, and just bypassing the pile of hard bones to trample on the chaotic crowd.
Seeing countless robes falling under the swords of the Dangxiang people, Wan Jian's eyes were already covered with bloodshots, and he said to the officers on both sides: "I look at the group of cavalry with bright armor reflected by the firelight in the west, which are famous iron kites. They are all nobles of the Dangxiang tribe. Kill one to avenge one, and kill one hundred ordinary Dangxiang dogs. Today, they are deeply involved in the enemy's battle. Everyone fights to the death. After they die, they gather together to praise their merits and do not insult their ancestors!" The officers heard the intention of seeking death and were silent for a moment. Zhou Bingsheng shouted: "Brother Wan said it well, we Guanxi men, ask for joy even if we die!" The officers conveyed Wan Jian's plan. The dazzling firelights around them reflected the faces of everyone, some excitement, some sadness, and some determination to burn the boat. Several filial sons knelt down and kowtowed toward Guanzhong.
Li Jiqian saw the largest group of Han army hedgehogs gathered in a group. The Dangxiang cavalry around him frowned, and was about to call his iron kite to attack. Suddenly, the Han soldiers made several earth-shaking noises in unison, and thousands of people rushed towards him in the direction. The Han people said that the thousands of men were pointing to the point of no success, and countless hatred eyes were gathered on the iron and Qin soldiers' hard-working battles, which made many people feel uncomfortable. "A bunch of native chickens and dogs! Who can break it for me?" Li Jiqian was unmoved at all and shouted in a deep voice: "They are not afraid of death, but the ones who left their names in history are our Dangxiang people, and they will never be these Song people!"
As soon as this statement came to an end, the iron kites who followed him became excited, pulled out the sword at their waists, and shouted loudly. Although there were only more than 300 cavalry, the momentum was not weaker than the thousands of infantrymen on the opposite side. The war horses felt the owner's intentions and ran forward with all their might. Dangxiang Iron kites were introduced to Dashi, a good breed of Qing Tang, which was well-dressed for a long time and could run quickly. At this moment, the people and horses were all cages in the iron armor and rushed forward like wind, and they were like crazy waves formed by iron cavalry. Not only did the infantrymen who had no time to dodge were stepped into meat mud, but ordinary tribal cavalry on both sides also stood on both sides.
At the same time, the three thousand cavalry troops broke through the dark night and rushed to the camp of Dangxiang Army. According to the military order, the Anxi Army had to use black mud to smear the whole body of the horses during the night attack. Therefore, under the bright torches of the Dangxiang Army, the cavalry troops that broke out in the dark were as terrifying as ghosts. At this moment, all the elite iron knights were brought to the back formation by the nobles of the Tuoba clan to suppress the Han army and mutiny. The front formation had no opponents that could match the cavalry army. Originally, some state troops attempted to rely on deer antlers to shoot arrows, but were caught off guard by the Cavalry Army, which had a longer range of arrows. The cavalry army has been abiding by Chen De's strict orders for several days and was not allowed to leave the city to fight with the enemy. The so-called chopping wood without delaying the sharpening skills, the centurions of the school captains had to guide the military formation at the top of the city and indirectly discussed the strength and weakness of the camps of the Dangxiang Army and the tribes of the states and tribes over and over again.
Following the first round of sharp arrow rain, the cavalry army in front threw out the lasso, and the troops were one to the sides. The thin antlers could not withstand the huge pulling force and were pulled out. At the same time, hundreds of cavalry in the back row led a large section of the pounded wood covered with iron spikes, galloping to the outside of the Dangxiang military camp at full speed. They immediately took off their hands and released the squat wood among the Dingnan soldiers who were busy preparing to resist. This rush, the superb equestrian of the grassland tribe and the smooth cooperation of the Central Plains cavalry, instantly tore a hole open the outer periphery of the Dangxiang people's camp. More cavalrymen rushed forward along the sweeping forward passage, with countless horse spears in front, and pricked arrows behind them, and threw them everywhere with torches stained with turbulence, and they rushed towards the camp without stopping.
The soldiers in the cavalry army had a lot of sources. After the dark night attack, they used their own methods to kill the enemy. The war horses and soldiers who were taller and more powerful than the Iron Harrier were wearing fewer armors. The fierce and fierce style of rushing to the ground was like ghosts, as if all the devils in the world appeared at this moment, shouting loudly, Khitan, Chinese, Mongolian, Uighur, Dangxiang, and prying people's hearts, chopping off their heads, causing bloody storms along the way. Some brave Dingnan soldiers had abandoned their weapons, lie on the ground and shivered, praying to Changshengtian with the only remaining gods.
"The Cavalry Army is here!" "It's the Cavalry Army of Mobei!" More and more Dangxiang tribe troops began to flee in panic. The Baiyu Army recruited Qiang warriors and had already made great contributions in the five prefectures of Dingnan. The Cavalry Army of Mobei is even more famous. The Cavalry Army of Mobei is more troublesome. After killing the enemy, it likes to cut off its nose and put it in a string and hang it in front of the horse. Among some Dangxiang tribes, it has long been said to be a bloodthirsty devil. The military camps of the Dangxiang people are not as trenches and walls as Han army, and are more suitable for cavalry running. At this moment, they were rushed in by the Cavalry Army. For a moment, the generals who did not have effective organization of strong counterattacks. They were killed by Xin Gu and others, and they were like tigers driving wolves. There were fleeing defeated troops everywhere, and even Li Jifeng's tent was trampled on.
Just when the tribal army and Li Jifeng camp were in chaos, Li Keyuan, Li Kexian, Li Keshun and others just watched from the wall. Iron Harriers surrounded their respective masters, and more than 10,000 Yinzhou Army and Suizhou Army were only concerned about guarding their own military camp. "Since my nephew wants Lingzhou, he must show some real skills." Li Keyuan sneered at Li Kexian beside him.
Li Jifeng looked at the defeated army scattered in front of the front, pointed at the cavalry that were constantly rushing towards him, shouting: "Stop them for me!" More than a thousand iron kalpas, along with thousands of followers of tribe cavalry, responded to the order. Although Li Jiqian's reputation gradually grew and Li Kexian and other Tuoba nobles were deeply rooted, the most iron kalpas and tribes were still attached to this legitimate generation of Tuoba family heads, Dingnan Army Jiedushi.
Xin Gu and the more than a hundred elite cavalry who surrounded him acted as arrows for the entire army. Seeing the iron armored cavalry leading the brigade of Dangxiang cavalry, "Join the formation!" Xin Gu shouted loudly, and the tooth soldiers beside him sent orders together. The captain and the ten-man commander moved in response. Within the short 100 steps of the cavalry, each hundred-man team and battalion moved closer to the middle. From the loose formation that drove the defeated army, it condensed into an extremely dense cavalry formation. All the horses were almost stepped on under the control of the cavalry.
With the same step, the rumbling hooves were like thunder. The method of the cavalry to attack the formation was similar to the kidnapping horse or chain horse that was passed down from later generations. Just like the enemy's arrows, it was a tactic that the cavalry army had been trained for many years since Lanzhou. It caused the tribes on the grassland to suffer a lot of losses. Those tribes who did not have time to train formations, or the arrogant iron kites, were absolutely impossible to form such a strict and neat formation under high speed.
Although the armor of the Iron Harrier is stronger than that of the Cavalry, in the narrow front of the rushing formation, each Iron Harrier faces three or four sharp and heavy horse lances, and is killed almost without any suspense. The war horses that lost their master's control neigh and run to both sides to avoid the Cavalry that rolled in like thunder. The two cavalrymen passed by at full speed. The Cavalry Army penetrated the Iron Harrier Cavalry and rushed deep into the tribal cavalry with thin armor. These tribal cavalry were even more unbearable.
Their fronts screamed and avoided both sides. The current situation was all about the iron kite who had returned and fought back, desperately delaying the speed of the cavalry's rushing forward, but they could not stop their iron hooves. These nobles of the Dangxiang also grew up on horseback and trained in the middle of the battle formation. When they saw that the cavalry's rushing forward, they did not meet them head-on, and they specifically entangled in groups of cavalry, as if they were lying around the group of wolves biting around the yaks and kept ramming the cavalry on the flanks of the cavalry.
Li Jifeng looked pale as the enemy army broke through the interception of Tie Harrier and came straight towards the back formation. He had to draw out the sword that he had not used for a long time. His left hand trembled and he was ready to fight.
Xin Gu guided this subordinate to pass by the cavalry formation led by Li Jifeng like a storm. The iron kite behind him just followed. Po Chaowu shouted loudly: "The general failed to stop the enemy, which scared the Lord!" Li Jifeng seemed to have stopped hearing it. His face turned pale, and his back was already covered in cold sweat.
Xin Gu led his army into the area surrounded by the Dangxiang Army. As the Han army and Li Jiqian fought together, they rode their horses around the battle group, driving away the Dangxiang tribe army that was surrounding it with horse spears and cavalry shooting, while teaching soldiers to shout loudly in Chinese: "Anxi cavalry came to help, and they wanted to retreat to Lingzhou alive!"
The voice was shouted several times before the Han army who fought to the death turned around. "Brother Wan, the Anxi army is against the court." Zhou Sheng shouted loudly while waving the sword he snatched from a dead iron kite. "The court is nothing, I'm here to save us!" Wan Jian shouted loudly, "Everyone will kill with me, Lingzhou army will come to save our lives!" More than 3,000 people surrounded him, together with the Xiang army and civilians who were still able to act on the battlefield, gathered up the remaining strength and rushed towards Lingzhou desperately. Under the leadership of Xin Gu, the Cavalry Army continued to wander around the large group of Han army, using its advantage of being stronger than the Dangxiang Cavalry, and constantly defeated the Dangxiang Cavalry's obstruction of the Han army.
