Chapter 225: The Four Battles of Northern Liang (VII)

Thousands of years ago, if you want to comment on ten of the most stirring images in the history of war, perhaps removing the thousands of stone-throwing vehicles attacking the city at the end of the Dafeng Dynasty, and Liyang Da Chu confrontation of the battle of the western base wall, the remaining eight, should be those wind and lightning, giant curtains of the iron flow of the cavalry thousands of miles of galloping or collision killings, riding, jingo and iron horse, the gas swallowed ten thousand miles like a tiger.

As the world’s largest number of cavalry in the North Mang Dynasty, as well as the border iron cavalry battle of the world’s North Liang, in the flow state, respectively, with the four towns of the Dragon Waist State cavalry army and the Dragon Elephant Army both sides of the exaggerated total of close to 100,000 cavalry force, in the vast battlefield outside the Qing Cang City, crashed a scarlet flower.

Under Xu Longxiang’s command without delay, the Dragon Elephant Army, which was the most powerful of all the Beiliang armies with independent streamers, was divided into three echelons and then resolutely threw itself into the battlefield. Wazhu, Ligu, Maolong, and Junzikan, the four rebuilt border town cavalry of Beimang, lined up on the left flank of Longguan’s infantry, and faced the swift charge of the first 10,000-million-strong Dragon Elephant Army led by Wang Lingbao. Although the four towns cavalry generals are not sure why the commander Liu Gui is so generous, completely cut off the cavalry and infantry to make their own battles not to mention, and in the four towns cavalry and the attacking infantry did not set up a variety of refusal of horse formations, know that even those who do not have to familiarize themselves with the book of the mediocre generals, but also know that to deal with the cavalry charging, it should be in the front of the infantry formation in accordance with the gourd to make a toss out of the some blocking the cavalry horses measures, in order to reduce casualties. But under the premise that Northern Mang’s military god Tuoba Bodhisattva did not open his mouth to question, no one dared to disobey the old marshal’s disposition of troops.

The four towns’ cavalry army, which had suffered a great deal in the first year of Xiangfu, had to face the astonishingly loud charge of that Dragon Elephant Cavalry and had to meet the challenge head on. Lonely outside the old Beiliang Road Pass near Qingcang City, there is a flat area that is easy for large-scale cavalry to gallop, there is no awkward situation of snail shells, but the four towns cavalry army is still fully prepared, with the most skilled mounted rifle Junzikan cavalry as the front army, and the most well armored Wazhu Cavalry Army as the middle army that is really resistant to the pressure, originally there were generals proposing to leave the valley Maolong two towns cavalry army to serve as the two flanks of the countermeasures, but as soon as they thought of Liu Gui’s deployment of troops was quickly rejected by the majority, once the thickness of the cavalry formation is not enough, by the Dragon Elephant Army, then the defenseless Longguan infantry will really be left to be slaughtered. Therefore, the weakest Maolong cavalry army became the rear army, and the Leigu cavalry army, which was second only to the Qiang cavalry army in the degree of familiarity with looting, was divided into two and placed on both sides of the three towns’ armies.

Even if we don’t count the Liu family’s personal guard cavalry, facing the Longxiang army is still clearly superior in number, close to 40,000 people of the four towns cavalry, but also had to be so careful, indeed very suffocating.

When the loud and clear in the sad and loud horn sound resounded through the battlefield, when Wang Lingbao led 10,000 Dragon Elephant Army to take the lead in the formation slowly forward, not eager to start the charge of the Gentlemen Pavilion cavalry, they all found that their own crotch mount appeared to have a burst of uneasy restlessness, long time battle-tested mature horses are rich in spirituality, for the crisis has a kind of unimaginable sharp intuition.

Wang Lingbao’s 10,000 Dragon Elephant Army, all of them were gun riders used to break the formation, and there was not a single bow rider to help tear the formation.

This meant that Wang Lingbao and the 10,000 riders had already made up their mind to either break through both the North Mang cavalry and infantry formations in one go, or die in the enemy formation that was constantly being blocked.

The cavalry that has lost its speed, once it is deep in the dense infantry square formation, it is like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river.

This was like a hammer deal, either you die or I die.

Wang Lingbao turned his head to look back, all the subordinate cavalry, have given up the incomparable skill of the bow, only in the hands of an iron gun, and the waist of the cool knife.

He wanted to speak again and again, he wanted to finally remind again, before charging into the North Mang Long Guan infantry, is to die also can not give up the riding lance, but in the end this mighty and renowned Bei Liang border general, still did not say anything, probably because he felt that there is no need for this.

Ten thousand Longxiang troops, ten thousand big Northern Liang horses that were B grade at worst, slowly marched forward.

Wang Lingbao suddenly raised his lance, the tip of the lance tilted and pointed towards the sky.

The entire cavalry army heartily raised their lances in unison.

The opposite side of the Junzi Pavilion’s cavalry army also began to come out of formation.

Wang Lingbao gently exhaled, Let me die in battle on horseback.

This vice general of the Dragon Elephant Army, flattened his lance and began to accelerate his sprint.

On the way to the charge, 10,000 Dragon Elephant cavalry appeared subtle changes, the central cavalry accelerated the speed of the horses, the two wings fell slightly, and broke in with a sharp cone formation.

And this 10,000 riders behind the vice general Li Mor Fan, squinting eyes, reaching out to stroke the horsehair of his mount, he led 5,000 riders, the same gun, ready to go, just compared to the forward Wang Lingbao’s ministry, more than a light crossbow and a riding bow, saddle side hanging with the Northern Liang border cavalry is not very common Hulu a, Hulu loaded with forty arrows, Hulu has always been known as the first Northern Liang bow cavalry of the white crossbow Feulin special objects, more than the ordinary Cavalry arrow capsule to be more than ten branches. When Chen Zhi Bao’s beloved direct line Wei Fu Cheng and Dian Xiong Animal rebelled out of Northern Liang and entered Western Sichuan at the same time, the White Feather Guards cavalry and the Iron Floaters, which were between the light and heavy cavalry, were all

After the White Feather Guards and the Iron Buttresses, both of which are between light and heavy cavalry, the main generals were replaced, with Yuan Nanting, a veteran of the Lotus Battalion, holding all of the White Feather Guards, and Xu Snapdragon’s son, Qi Dangguo, and one of the Four Teeth of the Northern Liang, Ning Emei, serving as the main generals and vice-generals of the 6,000-member Iron Buttresses.

Li Mo Fan watched the first row of cavalry of the two cavalry armies had already staggered past, of course, there are many who failed to stagger past, under the huge lance penetration, people toppled over and died on the spot.

Li Mo Fan’s expression was cold, and he thought in his heart, “Old buddy, we have an agreement, if you dare to die before the Longguan infantry, I won’t help you collect your body even if I don’t die.

On the battlefield, before the battle, Liu Gui ordered the defeat of the junzikan cavalrymen to withdraw the military town, but also experienced the initial apprehension of the enemy, in the charge on the way to be completely inspired by the blood, not only did not collapse at the first touch, but in the crisscrossing cavalry front line showed more than the usual level of combat power.

The battle-hardened Li Mor Fan was not half surprised, of course there are few people who are not afraid of death, but on the battlefield, especially on the battlefield of Liang and Mang confrontation, you are afraid of death, the faster you will die, this is almost every new soldier in the Northern Liang border army, will be the first thing that the veteran soldiers will be solemnly told, the Northern Mang barbarians will not be merciful because of your cowardice. Perhaps many of the Beiliang new soldiers do not feel deeply at first, but when they experience the battlefield, they will soon realize that death is really a very simple thing, by the arrows through, by the sword cleaved to kill, by the spear stabbed down, and over time, the new soldiers who can survive, will naturally become veteran soldiers, perhaps deep down is still fearful of death, but at least they already know how to make themselves not to be fearful and lead to weakening of the combat power, the big battlefield also has room for a lot of new soldiers, and the old soldiers will also know how to make themselves not to fear and lead to weakening the combat power. A big battlefield, can not allow anyone to grieve, as long as you are bathed in blood, watched the gowns fall one by one, and even some times is to die for you, how can you fear death? How can you stand up to those who fight side by side and let themselves die in exchange for your brother to live?

Li Mo Fan weighed the heavy iron spear in his hand and looked down.

Then Li Mo Fan turned his head to look in the direction of Liangzhou.

General, I Li Mo Fan eccentric temperament, to put it nicely is bullying, to put it bluntly is unselfish, these years on the border also did a lot of disgraceful dirty things, if it is in the Liyang military, this life can not get ahead, the results can be in the majestic world of the Northern Liang iron cavalry, served as a hand in the hands of the real power of the third grade generals, to take the best sword, riding the fastest horse, in this sky high above the northwest desert, with the Ten thousand riders in the yellow sand in a thousand miles, under the hooves of the horse, it is the death of the border robes of the tired bones, this life has experienced a wonderful ups and downs, is someone else a few lifetimes to add up than not.

A magnificent era, let those heroes, in their respective battlefield to die. Let those lords, in the temple on the hook and corner organs to calculate all. Seek fame, seek profit, seek benevolence and righteousness, each seeks their own gain, each seeks not to. All the people of the world, no matter whether they are enemies or friends, all show off their style.

These words were said by Li Yishan.

Li Mo Fan thought it was worthwhile for a guy like himself, who was notorious in the Central Plains, to be a righteous hero.

Li Mo Fan lifted his lance, the gusty wind brushed his face, and said softly, “Then go to your death openly.”
