Chapter 66 Looking for an Opportunity

General Li Chongwei of Ying Yanglang is Yang Sien's right-hand arm, located in the sixth row of the Modao Formation. He is also experienced in many battles and has rich combat experience. He immediately realized that they had encountered heavy armored nemesis and the arrow of the bed crossbow.

They have tried more than once that only the iron arrows of the bed crossbow can shoot through their thick armor. There is only one word for the arrow of the bed crossbow, ‘Hurry!’

He raised Mo Dao high and shouted loudly: "Run and rush into the enemy camp!"

The second row of heavy-armored soldiers rushed to the front row to fill the gap in the array. They began to run and rushed towards the gap in the field for a hundred steps away.

The biggest weakness of the crossbow is that it is slow to turn the string. The Sui army rushed out more than twenty steps. After the crossbow was completed with the second round of arrows, Fan Yuan shouted again: "Shoot!

Three hundred iron arrows were once again shot densely at the heavy armored infantry group of the Sui army.











Compared with the blockages encountered by Modao heavy armored infantry on the northern line, the situation on the southern line was slightly better. The defense crossbows on the southern line were almost completely damaged by repeated attacks by the catapults. They could only use obstacles and dense bows and arrows to block the charge of the heavy armored cavalry.

General Cao Dan is also a veteran. He followed him as early as when Dou Jiande's uprising. If Wang Fubao was Dou Jiande's left arm, then he was Dou Jiande's right arm. He was responsible for commanding the central army and was transferred by Dou Jiande to take charge of the defense of the southern front.

Cao Dan was like a battle. He had 15,000 people under his command, an elite army that had been following him for many years. In the battle with Yang Yichen, he had successfully resisted the rushing camp of Yang Yichen's 10,000 cavalrymen.

Cao Dan did not participate in the Battle of Zhuo County, and he was ordered to guard the capital of Leshou, which was something that Dou Jiande regretted afterwards. If Cao Dan was there at that time, they might not have been defeated like that.

Cao Dan used more than 500 soldiers to block the gap and mobilized 10,000 crossbowmen to deploy behind the soldiers. His 15,000 elite soldiers held spears in their hands. The troops, chariots, archers and spearmen were his three treasures to deal with the cavalry.

Military vehicles are vehicles that transport logistics supplies, mainly made of wooden products. They can effectively hinder the running and fighting of war horses. This is actually the traditional tactic of the Central Plains army against cavalry.

But Cao Dan did not expect that this time he was dealing with the 5,000 heavy armored cavalry built by the Sui Dynasty with all its might. Arrows were like dense locusts, shooting at heavy armored cavalry, but the dense rain of arrows had no effect. Ordinary arrows could not penetrate the strong horse armor and heavy armor.

Five thousand heavily armored cavalry rushed forward in line with dense rain of arrows, faster and faster, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and the momentum was like storm waves, destroying everything, invincible, and rushing towards the intensive defense Xia soldiers with an unstoppable violent violent force.

Ten thousand lunges were extremely frightened. They turned around and fled. There were many people and the passage was narrow and chaotic. Cao Dan's face changed drastically. He turned out to be a heavy armored cavalry. When they fought against the Youzhou Army at the beginning of last year, they had dealt with this heavy armored cavalry and had seen the powerful impact of this heavy armored cavalry.

Cao Dan shouted: "Pop up the spear!"

Thousands of spearmen lined up and sealed the narrow escape space of the crossbow soldiers. The crossbow soldiers became even more chaotic, and some people were so scared that they shouted.

As an experienced veteran, Cao Dan knew how to deal with the first wave of heavy armored cavalry. Ten thousand crossbowmen were the best meat shield.

The fierce horses galloped and murderous intent soared into the sky. Five thousand heavily armored cavalry were only fifty steps away from the enemy. The crossbowmen's fear found a place to vent at the last moment. They pushed the chariots away, rushed out of the gap, and ran desperately into the wilderness.

The thousands of spear soldiers behind were also frightened by the heavy armored iron cavalry's momentum, and they were extremely frightened. However, the soldiers in the front row had nowhere to escape and could not retreat. They were pushed and hugged by the soldiers behind. They had to raise their spears, close their eyes, and scream in despair.

"boom!"

Five thousand heavily armored cavalry rushed into the enemy group with a destructive force. The chariots were smashed and dozens of corpses were hit and flew out. Countless people were trampled under the iron hooves by war horses, and they could not even scream. The groups of people were cut down like wheat, with flesh and blood fogs and plasma everywhere.

The huge impact force of the heavy armored cavalry caused them to break into the enemy group about fifty steps, but the heavy armored cavalry team did not stop. The cavalry's horse spear assassinated Feiqiao, and they were unstoppable and invincible, and they opened a bloody road.

Behind them, Qin Qiong led 30,000 Sui troops to enter the camp along the bloody path they split.

.........

After hundreds of heavy armored infantry on the northern line finally rushed to the gap after hundreds of people were killed in battle. The soldiers operating crossbows retreated one after another. General Fan Yuan led 30,000 people to rush up from all sides and started a flesh-and-blood battle with the Modao infantry.

But this can only become a unilateral massacre. A sharp sword slashed over, a person's head rolled to the ground, his body was cut off, his limbs and arms were broken, and the corpses on the ground were piled up layer by layer, just like the bloodiest hell, and heavy armored infantry advanced step by step like a wall.

In fact, as long as they rushed into the gap, there was almost no suspense in the siege behind them. Seeing that the Mo Dao Army entered the gap, Li Jing immediately ordered Yang Wei: "You can lead three thousand cavalry to tear open another gap and allow our army to enter."

Yang Wei has been sent to Yan'an County in the past few months. He has never been his turn to the Hebei Battle. He was really depressed. Finally, the final battle broke out, and he finally got a chance to go into battle.

He could no longer feel so stuffy that two sledgehammers hit the air, and with a crisp sound of 'Clang!' he turned around and shouted, "My sons, kill the enemy with Fat Grandpa!"

He urged the camel and led the three thousand cavalry in the headquarters to rush towards the wall. The wall was two feet high and was built with stones of giant trees. It was extremely strong. At this time, there were no defenders on the wall. All defenders fought fiercely with the Modao heavy armored infantry at the gap.

Yang Wei raised his hammer and smashed it to the ground. There was only a muffled sound, but the wall was still motionless. Yang Wei turned the camel in anger and shouted, "Turn it over with a rope!"

Ropes flew towards the wall, and thousands of cavalry pulled at the same time, and the wall began to shake. Amid a shout, a wall about a hundred steps wide fell down, revealing a new gap.

Yang Wei laughed at the sky, waved his hammer and urged the camel to rush in first. Seeing that the gap had been opened, Li Jing pointed to the sword and shouted loudly: "Get in!"

Tens of thousands of Sui troops rushed into the camp through a new gap of a hundred steps wide. At this point, the Sui army attacked the Xia camp from both the north and south lines.

There was already a sea of ​​fire in the camp, and teams of Sui cavalry and infantry rushed in the camp, with fleeing Xia soldiers everywhere. The soldiers could not find the generals. The generals could not find the soldiers. The surrendered soldiers knelt down in groups, and the camp was extremely chaotic.

...........

The news of the breakthrough of the camp had reached the central army. Dou Jiande had changed into a soldier outfit, dressed in a worn leather armor, and a rotten spear in his hand. He had red oil paint on his face, turning into a Guan Gong's red face, and his appearance changed drastically.

He followed several soldiers out of the tent, and from afar, he saw Dou Xianniang guarding next to another "Dou Jiande". Perhaps because of the night, she did not tell the truth.

Dou Jiande couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even his niece didn't realize that it was fake Dou Jiande, and he didn't want to say it out for the time being. Except for more than a dozen confidant guards, no one else knew that he had a substitute.

Dou Jiande turned over and shouted "Go!"

He led a dozen personal soldiers to run towards the south gate. Hundreds of personal soldiers guarded the fake Dou Jiande and followed them on horseback.

.........

There is also the greatest benefit of launching a battle at night, that is, the unstable side will inevitably have large-scale escapes. It is difficult for officers to monitor their soldiers at night.

At this time, three camp gates in the Xia army camp were already opened, and a large group of soldiers kept escaping from the camp, throwing their armor, throwing away their weapons, and escaping desperately towards the dark field, but in the field, there were already a group of Sui soldiers who were intercepting them here.

This is the 20,000 reinforcements led by Luo Shixin. Whether it is the southern or northern line, they will reinforce them as long as the battle is unfavorable. However, as the Sui army on both sides attacked the camp one after another, they lost the meaning of reinforcements.

Unwilling to be ineffective, Cheng Yaojin proposed to intercept deserters on the periphery. Perhaps they could catch Dou Jiande and make the greatest contribution. Luo Shixin adopted his suggestion.

Dou Jiande led a dozen personal soldiers to only run three miles away, and suddenly heard someone beside him cursing, "Didn't you hear me calling me?"

When Dou Jiande turned around, he found that a Sui general carrying a big axe appeared beside him. Because he was too dark, wearing black armor and riding a black horse, he didn't notice it in the dark night. Dou Jiande was so scared that he almost fell off his horse.

This general is Cheng Yaojin. He had a pair of thief eyes and saw Dou Jiande's horse under his crotch. It was a horse with a huge fur of pure white and extremely strong.

Cheng Yaojin led more than a hundred people to stop Dou Jiande. The dozen personal soldiers behind were shocked and it was too late to rush up. Cheng Yaojin grabbed Dou Jiande's back neck and lifted him up.

"Damn it, why are you covered in blood on your face? It's bad luck!"

Cheng Yaojin threw Dou Jiande down, bent down and held the reins of the war horse, and laughed, "Good horse, I'm rich."

When Dou Jiande saw that he actually liked his horse, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart and hurriedly begged: "The villain is just a groom. I have a seventy-year-old mother to support me at home. This is Dou Jiande's horse. I am willing to give it to the general and I only want to forgive my life."

Cheng Yaojin was a very filial man. Seeing that the groom looked like an old farmer, his face was covered in blood, his armor was torn, and he had an old lady at home, he nodded, "I won't kill you, tell me where is Dou Jiande?"

Dou Jiande pointed back, "Behind it is, there are golden helmets and silver armor, protected by hundreds of guards!"

When Cheng Yaojin turned around, he saw that there were indeed a gang of cavalry coming from behind, with three or four hundred people. He was immediately overjoyed and turned around and urgently ordered, "Blow the call for troops and intercept Dou Jiande!"

He turned his horse's head and walked, took a few steps, took out the silver ingot from his arms, and threw it to Dou Jiande casually, "Take it to buy some grain and rice, and buy some clothes for me!"

He led the white horse and ran away. More than a hundred cavalry followed him and disappeared into the darkness in a moment.

"Woo--"

The sound of the horn sounded, which was the sound of the assembly call from the Sui army to call on the main force.

"Prince!" More than a dozen personal soldiers rushed forward and helped him up from the ground. Dou Jiande picked up the silver and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Sui general was heartless.

When Dou Jiande saw Sui cavalry running from all directions, he turned over another horse, whipped it hard, and ran into the darkness.
