Chapter 132 Changing Swords and Horses
In the twilight of the battlefield at the eastern end of Hulukou, the yellow sand gradually stopped and started again, when a horn sounded, the two armies silently stopped killing and waiting for the next last battle.
A young Dragon Elephant cavalryman with a baby face cried out with a wow, looking up to a familiar lieutenant beside him who had fought side by side and choked out, “The little flea is dead.”
The lieutenant, whose armor was in tatters, grinned with difficulty, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, or how to comfort this soldier under his command. This child’s ancestors are several generations of Beiliang border herdsmen, playing small horsemanship superb, when enlisted, other newcomers still have to give the war horse fell on ten times eight times a day, he was even drilling the belly of the horse can play out, the lieutenant was present to watch with their own eyes, full of applause, without saying anything, carried into the Dragon Elephant Army, left and right, with the selection of daughter-in-law general attentiveness, and it was not easy to pick a horse from the fibers away from the pasture into the army’s horse, half-baked and inconspicuous, and the army is not a good choice, and it is not easy to pick a horse from the fiber away from the ranch. Half-baked, inconspicuous, only to this child, and later proved that this horse is really a good horse, excellent footwork, explosive force is also enough, the valuable thing is to charge willing to go hand in hand with the horse team, because the nature of this horse jumping, familiar with the battlefield leisure, like to scurry and jump in the child’s side, there is a nickname for a small flea, the child hated to go to bed to the stables, in case of the beloved war horse got a small disease, to the battlefield! Drill in the wooden spear stabbed half swollen face will only be silly happy child distressed only cry, really more than the future to marry into the family’s daughter-in-law to be concerned about it. This battle, this child is impatient, just by the number of kills he saw two, but also the last batch of horseback down from the battle of the Dragon Elephant Cavalry, I do not know how many of the enemy horseback rider’s horse to the boy with a knife cut through the belly and intestine and cut off the legs of the horse, the lieutenant knows that this stock of eloquence is a rare talent, many of the hundred battles of the veterans may not have this ability.
The lieutenant glanced at the child’s chin, beard are still green, the lieutenant was thinking of another year or two to give this child exception as a matchmaker, the niece into his hands, but also counted as fertilizer water flow outsiders field. Only nineteen years old less than a small child, even the taste of women have not tasted, today died here, really a pity.
He patted the child’s shoulder and said softly, “When you get to the bottom, compete with your brothers to see who has killed more. If we die early, we may still be able to catch up with them on the way to the Yellow Springs. If we die late, we’ll kill a few more barbarians.”
The doll-faced cavalryman wiped away his tears and nodded with a smile.
The lieutenant glanced at the black-clothed teenager in the distance and revered him from the bottom of his heart. Don’t know where to appear a stream of jianghu top experts, take life to fight endlessly, five or six three feet of green peaks can produce sword qi swordsman, four dozens of swords and guns invulnerable to the huge man, good to the small general to kill chickens and slaughter dogs like clean up, the enemy army is more than that, the first is a fight not to die of the old man in green shirt and the small general on the fight for half a day, and then in the cavalry in the ghost of the young swordsmen, pretend to be the grandson installed For a long time, unexpectedly a sword actually pierced the right side of the chest of the young general, after a sinister sword, then disappeared, completely withdrew from the battlefield.
Lieutenant is a veteran soldier oil, said completely not afraid of death that is self-deceiving, his official position and experience of the guy, early past the age of young blood, and then there is dragging the family, no reason to let him die frankly, the lieutenant’s head was not kicked by a donkey! Only to be able to enter the top of the Northern Liang combat strength of the Dragon Elephant Army, around the size of the official hat equivalent robes than many other Northern Liang generals, are brave and warlike, curved intestines are not much, bring out the pawns, but also to be relatively one-dimensional. For the Dragon Elephant Army up and down, as long as their respective superiors dare to charge and dare to die, they dare to fight, raise soldiers for a thousand days, fear of death will not enter the Dragon Elephant Army. Lieutenant is also a small pawn when, who has not heard from the mouth of the old pawns in the spring and fall of those stirring war stories? Chu Lushan 1,000 light cavalry to open the Shu Road, the consort’s grave 16,000 cavalry dead to the last man, Chen Zhi Bao west base wall battle to level the world, Xiangfan attack and defense war, too many. The lieutenant knows that after the battle of Hulukou, but also will certainly have acquaintances and people to talk about, mentioning their own name, will give a thumbs up, these words with the pension silver two together to pass back to their hometowns, but also can afford to those who knelt down in their childhood shrine tablets, and later their own children grow up, but also straighten up to be a man.
The red armor of Dong Zhuo’s army is less than six hundred remnants of the army, supporting them to vow not to retreat, is the general personally led by the two thousand horsemen, as well as unauthorized retreaters beheading of the Dong family military law. When looking back, a bright red flood came, a large flag is particularly clear, these exhausted to a sit down can sleep for three days of the Dong family cavalry are like a sigh of relief, and then feel a little desolate, invincible Dong family cavalry, six thousand versus four thousand, actually lost. Feet are the dead body of the former robe, and the northern Liang people’s corpses mixed superimposed, many times step battle fighting, stepping into the sticky blood, every time to lift the foot than step in the gravel is more strenuous, many armor is not pay attention to the fall, to the opponent chopped and died, the battle of the cool, have long been unknown to be dead in the north of the Liang knife or under the knife of the family Mang.
Because of the North Mang few dangerous places to base, North Mang military town layout has been presented offensive posture, invariably let the vast majority of the North Mang army mistakenly think that the North Liang army, what three hundred thousand iron horsemen in the world but is the old accounts of the old sesame seeds and rotten grains, Spring and Autumn eight countries military strength is uneven, how can be compared with the North Mang? Therefore, the mention of a corner of the northern Liang army, and then conservative lieutenant generals, but also just thought that the two armies of Liang and Mang are equal, the problem of the northern Mang does not lie in the eating out of the northern Liang, and lies in the time when to go down to the south to step on the level. The Dong family cavalry is recognized as the elite brigade that can be located in the first line with the 180,000 troops of Tuoba Bodhisattva, especially the Dong family cavalry is good at horseback shooting, a few times the scale of the fierce battles in the eastern front of the 20,000, the Dong family cavalry is able to ensure that the retreat of a hundred miles without dispersing, the rescue of the town of Maolong, heard that the opponent is only a lone army in the depth of the 4,000 cavalry, who does not regard it as a great military achievements within reach?
A Dong family cavalryman let out a long breath, held up his helmet, looked down, remembered that I do not know when in the army prevalent song, the Dong family son on the horse sword on the horse spear, dead horse back dead horse side. The little mother at home should not cry her heart out, and the children at home will be Dong’s sons again.
The two armies, 600 versus 900, no longer have any horses to ride, but only face each other on foot.
The young man in black was pierced by a sword, the assassin withdrew after a successful strike, not even retrieving his sword. He then and the Palace Park the whole battle have not pulled out that sword, the deputy master of the Tibingshan Mountain has long been tendons and veins broken into a boneless corpse, the teenager touched into a body red black tiger, looking around, from the feet of a dead cavalryman abdomen pulled out a knife, the cavalryman is the Dragon Elephant Cavalry, the knife is surprisingly the Northern Liang knife, can see that this a bloody battle chaos to what point. Xu Longxiang cut off Gong Park’s head with a knife, bent down to pick up, clutched the hair carried in the hand, then raised high, nine hundred Dragon Elephant army all of a sudden hissed and shook the heavens: “Die fighting!”
A lieutenant saw that many of the riders were holding Northern Mang swords in their hands, and said in a deep voice: “Change swords!”
There was not a single warhorse, only nine hundred Beimang swords.
The six hundred Dong Zhuo cavalrymen also changed their swords at the same time.
Dong Zhuo was not that Zhang’s general who liked to personally charge into battle, but this Hulukou battle, fought to this point, he had to fight, and in his heart, he also thought that he would personally cut down dozens of Dragon Elephant Cavalrymen. The southern dynasty, no matter how much they spit on this dead fat man’s character, did not dare to deny Dong Zhuo’s marshalship, and Great General Liu Gui even elevated this backwoods man who talked back and committed stubbornness from time to time to the height of Gu Jiantang Chen Zhi Bao, who thought that Dong Zhuo would continue to rise in the doomed and majestic war between the Northern Mang and the Liyang Dynasty to become yet another military pillar in the Northern Mang after Tuoba Bodhisatta. Dong Zhuo held the Green Spring Lance as he charged ahead on his horse. He had his eyes fixed on that gradually dying bag, the second son of the People’s Slaughterer, Xu Longxiang.
The world knew that Fatty Dong was greedy and afraid of death, but that didn’t mean that Dong Zhuo’s combat prowess was mediocre. Tibingshan this time for him this son-in-law, is to pay the blood, Penglai bearer slaves out of the majority, the guest secretary out of one-third, and even known as the North Mang King Kong the first Gong Park old man are moved out of the mountain, such a team of dead soldiers, surprisingly, did not exhaust the black boy, not to mention there is a Zhu sprites the chief assassin to help, Dong Zhuo had to be convinced, replaced by any finger Xuan realm, are to be obediently die on two times and more! Dong Zhuo had known that this is to hold the old man’s thighs, splashing and rolling also asked for the old man personally.
The matter has come to this point, think more useless, Dong Zhuo is not the kind of people who can not afford to let go, his bottom line is willing to take another thousand ranger life to pile up that Xu Longxiang alive.
The bodies will be strewn all over the place, which will block the cavalry’s speed of attack.
Six hundred Dong Zhuo infantry cavalrymen were just dragging down the nine hundred Dragon Elephant Army, and did not get attached to the battle, and when the two thousand cavalrymen approached, they quickly ran away from the battlefield to the two sides, freeing up a space for the charge.
The two thousand rangers were like a flood washing over nine hundred reefs.
Similar to the fall harvesting of rice in the Middle Kingdom farming.
This barbaric and irrational use of the battlefield as a means of escape achieved reasonably huge battle results.
In a single round, he decimated nearly two hundred men of the Dragon Elephant Army, losing only eighty riders on his side.
Dong Zhuo’s green spring spear easily killed and wounded a dozen or so exhausted infantry cavalrymen.
Half of the eighty killed in action were torn apart by the black-clothed boy with his horse.
Through the entire infantry formation, Dong Zhuo turned his horse’s head, looking at the thousand holes still standing reef group, to Dong Zhuo’s ruthlessness, still surfaced a kind of indescribable feeling, in the future, his own 60,000 Dong’s sons and daughters, will have to fight with this kind of Northern Liang army brigade directly? Even if he eventually becomes the only powerful official in the Southern Dynasty’s temple, how many of them will be left? Dong Zhuo’s army is the direct line that he has spent ten years to cultivate, one death is one less, and it is extremely difficult to fill the vacancies. The so-called “fighting for war”, he still has the confidence to fight with Gu Jiantang on the eastern front, but Dong Zhuo is not very confident to fight with the iron cavalry of the Northern Liang.
Dong Zhuo launched the second set of charge, in addition, also set aside hundreds of riders to take up the responsibility of meandering hunting, not to give the remnants of the Dragon Elephant Army any chance to breathe.
The doll-faced cavalryman glanced at the familiar lieutenant beside him who had been pierced through with a spear by a northern barbarian after killing two riders in a row, and without much expression of sorrow, gripped the northern Liang sword in his hand.
The little flea was dead, the old captain who always talked dirty was dead, and now the lieutenant was also dead.
All dead.
How come it was his turn.
He grinned.
After the second set of charges, another three hundred of the six hundred Dragon Elephant Army died in battle.
When Dong Zhuo was ready to finish off this group of obstinate Northern Liang soldiers once and for all, surprisingly, it wasn’t them who took the lead in the charge, but the black-clothed boy who started running towards him.
Was he trying to stall for time with his life?
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and knocked his upper and lower teeth against each other, the military town of Li Gu had already rushed to clean up the battlefield at this time without any surprises.
The yellow sand at the mouth of the gourd suddenly rose.
Only white horses and white armor can be seen between heaven and earth.
Dong Zhuo viciously spat, glared and cursed: “I fuck you Huang Song Pu Liu Gui Yang Yuanzan these old undead ancestors eighteen generations, abducted Lao Zi to come to the death with the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry Army!”
Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to roar, “Wu Changqi, dismount and switch horses to the infantry brothers. Retreat!”
The general with white armor and silver spear rushed to the battlefield, glanced at the two thousand Dong Zhuo troops, and did not pursue them.
Walking up to the black-clothed teenager with a sword stuck in his chest, he respectfully said, “My general Yuan Zuozong greets the general.”
The teenager just cocked his head and asked, “Where is my brother?”
