Chapter 408: All Iron Horsemen Enter Liuzhou

North Mang in the Taiping order to serve as the dynasty after the imperial teacher, for how to attack the war horse difficult to leap the huge town, has been different, the first Liang Mang war, Dong Zhuo broke away from the first town of the border town of Hu Tou City, the seed sandalwood even broke the Hou Houkou lying bow Luanhe two cities, are clear evidence of this. Not only that, the ambition to annex the Central Plains of the steppe cavalry, for how to break open the dense step array, these years is also a deep study, spring press bowl top trek air rhyme this is extremely insightful, this person in the formal army before a painting ash deliberations of the monarchs and ministers, specifically on the battle of horseback and step of ten thousand words, meticulous, so that well-versed in the military affairs of North Mang empress greatly admired.

South dynasty border army in the Taiping order to force the popularity of the promotion, almost every 10,000 captain will be more than one or two from the Western capital of the Privy Council Hall of the military staff, most of these characters are not young, belonging to the kind of Hongjia north run to bring the southern dynasty of the spring and autumn legacy of the young, is considered to be the family rooted in the prairie after the family of cultivation and study of the family to the third generation of the readers, the grassland from the northern court of the young and strong timid Xuewei also have, but not more. The vast majority of the border army generals scoff at this, as embroidered pillows of the role of the supervisors, really willing to pay attention to this set of young people of the southern dynasty temple of the top of the power, in fact, there is, the general Yang Yuanzan, but unfortunately, has been killed in battle in the mouth of the gourd in Youzhou, at that time Yang Yuanzan carried a large number of Xijing cardinal hall of the first cultivation of the young talented, as many as a hundred people, but all together to be the construction of the capital of the view of the tired white bones, the old woman, though the final Although the body of Liu Yunu in Tiger Head City was used to exchange for several heads including Yang Yuanzan, but on the matter of Yang Yuanzan’s posthumous name after his martyrdom on the sands, he showed rare meanness and meanness, and even the symbolic decree to appease Yang’s sons and daughters of his hands did not go to do it, and it is rumored that this His Majesty the Emperor even pointed to the head of that old marshal in the lime box that did not rest in peace and said frankly with the Order of the Peace that stood next to him that the old man Yang did deserve to die, and destroyed the ten years of foundation of my empire!

In the five southern dynasty of ten thousand chiefs met to agree on whether to fight this battle, a rank not high pivot Lang with the description of the horse fence, it is strongly recommended to split the army in two ways, 30,000 riders to attack the corridor, 20,000 riders to go around the road to the south to support the crone mountain. Five different military towns from the North Mang military generals only one person agreed, the other four rejected this too conservative proposal, the middle-aged cavalry general from the Maolong military town is known for its violent character of the South Dynasty, directly leaned over with a horsewhip and pointed at the nose of the young man, scolded him as a thing that has not yet grown hairs, how do you know that the military is precious and speedy reasoning. He also asked the young man in an eccentric manner, “You’re not a spy planted by the Northern Liang Border Army in our Southern Dynasty, are you? The only young man recognized the cautious proposal of the old Wanfujing in heart, just to speak to round off the situation, heard the remaining three official position equivalent to the real power of the Wanfujing more than the laughter, the prairie children, especially in the army of the children, has always believed that can be killed and not be humiliated, that the father’s generation will die outside the Northern Liang Pass young man angry red eyes, almost to bite the teeth, and finally even volunteered to ask for as a cavalry vanguard, get on the horse and go! Before sneering, he left a sentence, “After I die, I will watch how the generals die in the netherworld”.

Four ambitious ten thousand captains simply do not think, read a few tattered books do not know the high ground of the young man himself bent on death, they have no relatives with him, the sands of the military generals, lazy to block. But only after the two thousand vanguard cavalry crashed into the formation and hit the wall, all the ten thousand captains began to realize that the situation was not good. They were not unaware of the fact that giving up the natural mobility of the horses and using the cavalry to break through the infantry formation head on would never be a good idea, and that the cavalrymen who opened up the road were bound to die on the way to the formation, but even the oldest commander did not expect that the defense of the infantry formation could be so amazing.

If the five thousand strong bows and Liangzhou crossbows hiding behind the refusal of the horse array, after shooting arrows like a pouring rain, is still reasonable, then two thousand riders still have more than a thousand riders rushed to the wall, the bloody picture of the horses and men are instantly killed, so that more than the battlefield blood of the wanfuches are still incomparably shocked, the two thousand elite cavalry, undoubtedly, two thousand dead, almost everyone knows that the charge will be dead, in the Bow range edge of the zone will begin to accelerate forward, to avoid the arrow rain shooting more than a thousand riders in the collision of the formation, in fact, the most momentum, the speed of the most adequate, a rider collision formation, by virtue of the inertia brought about by the horse galloped, that a huge impulse of the horror of the, self-evident.

As a result, more than a thousand horsemen, people and horses, all died under the long lance!

No less than six hundred horses were directly pierced through the body by the long lance.

The most terrible thing is the second set of cavalry almost visible, those styles of strange very long “gun spear”, show incredible horror toughness, piercing is tantamount to suicide after a horse corpse, the vast majority of the body before the extraction of the body is only bending and do not break, like the southern dynasty border army unusual cavalry most of the rations have a riding spear, often One or two charge stabbing that crack, only Dong Zhuo Liu Gui Yang Yuanzan these great generals of the direct line elite, used to chisel array of iron gun riding spear material is very good, only to be able to many times repeatedly hit the array and not folded, but as a bow and horse familiar with the prairie cavalry, it is clear that even if it is the Orange State hold the section order of the Muyong Bao Ding under the command of the winter Thunder elite cavalry, the guns and spears are definitely not this flow state monks infantry hand that rod to come! …… unreasonable!

Although some of these two thousand horsemen are timid, but in the back of the army did not sound before the retreat horn, no one dares to unauthorized turn the head of the horse back to retreat.

It is not that this set of cavalry people do not cherish life, is not completely not afraid of death, but the South Korean border army although not as bad as the Northern Liang Xu family that military law, but the battlefield retreat, not only even under the jurisdiction of the superiors, will also be affected by the whole family, is really not allowed to be timid and life-threatening.

On the way of two thousand riders charging, the vision of that Liuzhou step formation slowly backward neatly move ten paces, shield formation such as a wall still, step long lance into the forest still, save shot such as rain still.

The young Xijing staff who died in the battlefield at the age of the crown, before the retreat of the infantry formation, the person and the horse are just hanging on a tilted upward on the infantry long lance.

Like a scarlet candy cane, both comical and funny, but also sad and miserable.

Chest together with the mount’s head was long long lance through the chest before he died, the young man tried his best to reach out and hold the long lance, the corner of his mouth twitching, seem to have words, but could not speak.

If can live back, he must more insist on detour south, will tell that five mistakenly thought that the heavenly battle success is within reach of the border army ten thousand captains, this thing is called long long long lance, long lance pole extremely tough, long lance codification extremely hard, long lance sharp extremely sharp! Sharp knife heavy axe chopping clanging has the sound of gold and stone, by no means cracks breaks, has been the central plains countless cavalry generals dreamed of seeking the white blade the sharpest weapon, with their prairie cavalry to fight nearly four hundred years of Han family in Jizhou, there has always been “the father died son to receive the long lance” the tradition, that is to say, a pole is extremely difficult to damage a good long lance, far more than a handle of blowing hair breaks off the hair to cut the iron as mud! The good knife, more suitable as will kind of family heirloom. Horseback kills the enemy, holds the long long lance, invincible, holds the long lance riding will almost not need to worry about stabbing the enemy’s force shocks the arm. Used to foot formation reject horse, and can be worse where?

The second set of two thousand riders still no life, but finally let that step long lance refusing horse formation produce loosening, have a hundred riders hit dead flow state located in the first row of the standing shield monks, blood splattered and died. Two times rejecting the horse, one thousand foot long lances also totaled more than three hundred poles broken.

The poet saint of the Dafeng Dynasty once had a border poem that has been passed down to this day, describing the great battle achievements of the famous generals of the borderlands, the front of the battlefield but the enemy is in the midst of laughing and joking, this line is shallow and straightforward, but quite evocative.

The word “but” is the finishing touch.

A sitting on the back of a horse Wanfu chief involuntarily raised his buttocks, looking at the distant battlefield, jaw-dropping, can not say a word.

Dead people are not afraid, but if they die so quickly, how can the battle still be fought? Even if it is replaced by two cavalry armies engaging in battle, how long does it take to charge and chisel the formation in just three hundred paces?

The main general of the Maolong military town, who had once mocked the staff of the Xijing Privy Council, secretly gulped down his saliva and stiffly turned his head to the aged captain of 10,000 men and said, “Should we withdraw from here and make a 60-mile detour to the Crone Mountain?”

The veteran general who only has 6,000 riders under his command shook his head and said in a deep voice: “The most difficult part for a cavalry army to break a foot formation is the beginning, the head of this Liushu monk soldier’s horse is the most powerful, making us suffer serious losses, which makes sense, I believe that as long as you break through those rows of spears and spears, the aftermath will naturally be much smoother.”

The rest of the several ten thousand captains all had cloudy faces, the veteran general spilled out, “Although it is not impossible to split up our troops and detour to the Crone Mountain battlefield, or even withdraw the entire army from this place and go south together in a roundabout way, but with this Liujiu infantry army not hesitating to fall into a dead end to block our southward speed, I feel then that it’s the Northern Liang Border Army that has a conspiracy at the Crone Mountain battlefield, either because they fear that we will form an In any case, the fastest way for us to pass through this corridor is the best choice. There’s no reason not to die in battle, I’ll be the one to do the next charge.”

This old general was once a centurion under Huang Song Pu’s command with mediocre talent, Huang Song Pu left the army and became a member of the Xijing temple, rising step by step until he became the king of the southern courtyard, the old general this is the water rises, and can serve as the head of a not too small military town in the central hinterland of Gusai State, unlike the remaining four ten thousand captains who secretly received boxes of gold and silver before going into battle, the old general refused the invitation of the three B word messengers, but also took the initiative to rush to the old general, and the old general refused the invitation to go to the old general. However, he took the initiative to ask for help to rush to Crone Mountain, since he did not seek wealth, in the eyes of outsiders, it probably meant that he was seeking military honors in his old heart.

When the four ten thousand captains saw the old general steering his horse forward, the Maolong army town cavalry was full of dismay and said, “The old general is going to break the formation himself?”

The white-haired old general turned around and smiled blandly, “The children under my command, many of them are the same age as my grandchildren, as the main general of a town, of course I have to ……”

A green and strong ten thousand captain frowned and interrupted the old man’s words, persuading, “Old general, according to the military law of the border, the main general dies in battle, once the battle is lost, all the thousand captains and centurions will be beheaded afterwards.”

The old general laughed it off and glanced at the infantry formation in the southern corridor, “To open this formation, six thousand riders are definitely not enough. My town’s 8,000 sons and daughters, those who are not afraid of death, have already followed me, the old man, here.”

Perhaps these were the last words of the old man.

The 6,000 horsemen divided into three groups and charged successively.

After two heroic charges, finally broke through the Liuzhou shield lance two formations, the old general a horse first, drenched in blood, crashed to eight hundred strangers before the sword!

The monk soldiers who hold the Northern Liang’s special sword are all the most robust among the monks of Ragdoll Mountain, and they are wearing iron armor in addition to their robes, lining up and moving forward, waving their swords and chopping the horses, swift and fierce!

Together with the veteran general, 1,200 riders died under the stranger’s sword, which first appeared in Liangmang’s battlefield.

The Northern Mang cavalry, once fought, fought again, and fought again!

On the Crone Mountain battlefield, there have been two mutual chiseling battles.

Only 4,000 of Liuzhou’s 10,000 cavalry were left, of which the 6,000 cavalry of the newly built Straight Impact Battalion were even less than 1,500 men.

In terms of battle losses, the two wings of the Dragon Elephant Army suffered fewer casualties, and there are still 13,000 cavalry that still have the strength to fight.

Commander Huang Song Pu led the North Mang south expedition army, initially 60,000 riders, at this time on horseback, still as many as 48,000 riders.

This kind of seems to flow state side ride is better than the exchange, is that the North Mang emperor master most expected “flow state battlefield, the main force of the southern expedition is a small loss is a big victory”.

If there are no accidents, two more such exchanges, the Dragon Elephant Army, which reached 30,000 troops in its heyday, and the Straight Impact Battalion, which had just been able to put up the battalion flag for battle, will become clouds of smoke together.

Always stand in the crone mountain top of the flow of state general kou jianghuai, in this kind of state of affairs is very serious to the extreme moment, there is not any change in the formation of corruption into a miracle, just sent people to send down the order, let the original stay outside the battlefield of the assassin’s residence under the jurisdiction of the 3,000 cavalry, follow the two times after chiseling the formation of the return to the original position of the field of the main force, arrayed in the begging of the Longxiang, participate in the third round of charging.

Huang Song Pu also ordered that the heavy cavalry army, which numbered only five or six hundred, to prepare to enter the battlefield.

The old marshal’s only hidden worry is that the battle has reached this point, the Northern Liang side is the Liushu cavalry dead and wounded, while his side is under his command of the direct line and the Wanyan elite cavalry far more casualties than the B word cavalry. If not for this, he would not have even used the heavy cavalry that was originally used to cut off the head of Kou Jianghuai or Xu Longxiang.

Chen Xiliang couldn’t help but ask, ”One more charge and the Liuzhou cavalry will exist in name only. Kou Jiangjun, isn’t it time to slow down?”

Kou Jianghuai shook his head and said, “We can’t slow down, fighting to this point is a matter of one breath. Not to mention Yuan Nanting’s White Feather Light Cavalry and Ning Emei’s Iron Floaters can’t rush to Crone Mountain for the time being, even if they are able to enter the battlefield right away, I will have to let the Liuju Cavalry and the Dragon Elephant Army to charge two more times, otherwise even if Xie Xiejian’s monks are able to block the 50,000 Southern reinforcements, with Huang Songpu’s skill in using troops, they will be able to escape at least 20,000 cavalry, and once they join with the remaining cavalry of the corridor in the North, the three battles we fought before, along with this one, will be for nothing, or even equal to me fighting a war for nothing. would have been fought in vain, and even amounted to me, Kou Jianghuai, also dragging all three branches of Qingyuan military town’s army into the quagmire that is the Liuzhou battlefield.”

Chen Xiliang sighed and did not continue speaking.

Kou Jianghuai suddenly turned his head and said softly, “In that battle of attack and defense in Fengxiang Military Town, the defenders publicly impeached Xie Xijian through the Liuzhou Assassin’s Office, and you wrote an article that ‘does not violate the military law, but is contrary to the reasoning of the situation’, so I want to say thanks to you.”

Kou Jianghuai said directly and clearly that it was he who wanted to express his thanks to this Liuzhou Farewell Governor, not for Xie Xijian. As a matter of fact, Xie Xijian’s moderate and calm comment, although far less severe than the words of the assassin Yang Guangdou, is still unfavorable to the Xie Xijian who was on the tip of the storm at that time, but the fact is just the opposite, Chen Xiliang, who has already had a certain amount of weight to talk about in the Northern Liang Border Army, is intentionally protecting the Liuzhou Vice General who has violated the anger of the public, once he is biased in favor of Xie Xijian, it will only agitate Liangzhou Border Riders and the entire Youzhou Infantry more violently backlash. Once he spoke in favor of Xie Xijian, it would only provoke the Liangzhou border cavalry and the entire Youzhou infantry into a violent backlash, and by then, it would probably not be easy for even the young king to personally protect Xie Xijian. In the final analysis, once Xie Xijian has been reduced to a street rat in the eyes of the Northern Liang border army, then not only Kou Jianghuai, who is also a young man and a foreigner, but even Yu Luanjian, who has already won the recognition of the similarity of the roots, will be affected by the fish in the pond.

Chen Xiliang shook his head with a bitter smile and lamented, “These are all the situations that the king has worked so hard to create, there is no need to thank me, if you really want to thank me, have a chance to go to Reject North City next time to thank the king.”

Kou Jianghuai bristled, “What’s the point of thanking him surnamed Xu, since he has become the King of Northern Liang, these should be his laborious duties. When I go back to the North City Residence next time, I will not ask him to be the commander of the Northern Liang cavalry.”

Kou Jianghuai suddenly laughed to himself, “But I guess I can’t beat Yuan Baixiong, in the Northern Liang side is the number of this is not good, leading the army to fight one more than a fierce, a large number of martial arts masters, before in the Guangling Road side, my swordsmanship is still okay, in the temple quarrels and fights have the courage, now ah, can’t do it.”

The heavy hearted Chen Xiliang finally had a slight smile.

Two people look out, that old crone mountain battlefield, dragon image army general Xu Longxiang has personally killed the enemy three hundred people, this is still he is to ensure that the cavalry charge under the premise of the formation, if it is regardless of completely let go of the killing, I am afraid that the North Mang cavalry of those generals will be collapsed.

Kou Jianghuai’s sight shifted towards the most numbered B cavalry formation, smiling grimly, muttering, “Fatten up before you kill.”

Three cavalry armies entered the Liuzhou battlefield, among which Liangzhou General Shi Fu personally led the Qingyuan Military Town’s 8,000 cavalry, not heading for Crone Mountain, but heading straight for that corridor, not to save lives, but only to intercept the Northern Mang Southern Dynasty’s cavalry army that would continue to head south through the corridor, maybe 30,000, maybe 20,000.

In Shi Fu’s opinion, Xie Xijian and those Ragged Mountain monks and soldiers would surely die.

Ning Emei’s Iron Floaters had suffered heavy losses in the Dragon’s Eye Plains before, and their vitality had been greatly injured, but the young feudal lord had allocated all 800 White Horse Boxers to the Iron Floaters, and had even ordered all the generals of the fourth rank or above outside of the Liangzhou Pass to draw out their personal guards and escorting cavalry, which had allowed the Iron Floaters to recover to a scale of 4,000 cavalry in a short period of time, just one month later!

Ning Emei holding a halberd, leading four thousand iron horseback riding wildly, he wants to copy the back road, straight into the crone mountain and the north of that corridor between the zone, if Shi Fu is to block the south dynasty border riding south road, then he needs to cut off the main force of the Huang Song Pu southern expedition of the northern retreat road.

The last cavalry, belongs to the absolute meaning of light cavalry, full of floating wind, everyone negative horse bow light crossbow, both sides of the saddle are hung with arrow bag, and then only the waist hanging pendant a northern Liang knife. The arrow feathers through the arrow bag are snow-white, like two balls of white snow, and when the horses are galloping, it is extremely beautiful.

Yuan Nanting, the main general, led 20,000 white-feathered cavalry to attack the Crone Mountain!

Imagine, when the wind rises, a round of intensive unison shooting from 20,000 horsemen is like a majestic rain, 20,000 raining down on the enemy’s head.

An eight-thousand elite cavalry that had already infiltrated the territory of Gusei Prefecture suddenly turned around and headed south, crossing the border line, drawing a diagonal arc and desperately galloping towards that corridor battlefield.

A young cavalry general with a short stature and a tired face kept chanting in his mind, Don’t die, don’t die.

It is said that things do not happen three times, you this guy even if you add the battle of Miyun mountain pass, only two times, the king of hell will not be happy to accept you.

Other people looking for death, I do not care, but only you Xie Xijian can not think, I have to beat you face to face.

This person is Cao Wei.

Nicknamed Cao Ben Lei!
