"Boom~~~"
The ground shook violently, and the whole world seemed to be shaking.
The scorching sun was shining high, and the strong wind was blowing the weeds on the ground. The distance was already covered in sand and dust, like a strong wind, making it difficult to see clearly.
Above the horizon, a large bone slowly appeared.
It seemed to be the skull of an unknown deer. The skull had been hollowed out and decorated with feathers.
The skull was gradually raised, and the flagpole with the skull hanging on it also appeared.
Next, there are more and more bones.
They rise from all sides, from all directions that can be seen.
The bones are getting higher and higher, and the knight holding the flagpole finally reveals his upper body. The knights holding the skull flag appear at the front, followed closely by the knights following the skull flag.
There are more and more of these knights, more and more, more and more.
Yao Xiong looked at those people like ants. Standing at a high place, he couldn't see how many there were. He could only see them appearing in a steady stream.
The more than 6,000 people under Liu Taozi are currently stationed at a flat river mouth. After being washed by the river from time to time, the place has become extremely flat and remains moist all year round. The knights need to draft water, and the war horses under their crotches are carrying
Cattle and sheep also need water, and this is the best place for horses to drink.
With Liu Taozi holding the horse in hand, the green lion became irritable, slowly rubbing its front hooves and shaking its head constantly.
At this moment, Qing Shi was covered in heavy armor.
It looks like a huge iron-clad ferocious beast, and the same goes for its owner.
Liu Taozi had worn armor several times before, but this was the first time he had worn a full set of heavy armor. This was matched with the war horse under his crotch, and was extremely precious.
Liu Taozi, who was already tall, now transformed into an iron giant.
There were thirty-five people following him, all similarly dressed.
Such heavy armor places extremely high demands on horses and knights, and is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Those Xi people in the distance did not slow down at all after discovering the Qi army stationed here, and drove towards here at the same marching speed just now.
Yao Xiong was sweating profusely.
His voice was small:
"Brother, Khan, has he been defeated by Xi Ren?"
"Isn't there more than 100,000 people? This is the main force?"
"Run away."
Liu Taozi said softly: "Get ready to fight."
Yao Xiong pursed his lips and looked at the overwhelming army in the distance again. He was stunned for a long time.
Just a few days ago, he complained that he could not meet Xi Ren's army.
I didn't expect that this time I would encounter something of this magnitude.
There are only a thousand real elites under Liu Taozi's command, and the combat effectiveness of the remaining Cangtou slaves cannot be said to be too high.
Kou Liu took a deep breath, and the hand holding the bow was trembling slightly.
The expressions of all the officers and men under Taozi's command were also different at this moment.
Rupo Duoluo Ku was particularly excited at this moment, feeling that great power was waving to him.
There were also ordinary Cangtou slaves who were extremely frightened when they saw the size of this numbing army.
Liu Taozi looked at Kou Liu who was standing aside.
Kou Liu nodded, then galloped out on horseback.
"The general has an order!!"
"The military household will be beheaded to the fifth level and rewarded with ten golds! Ten cows will be given! One hundred sheep!!"
"Cangtou beheads the fifth level and marches into the household!!"
"Anyone who kills generals and seizes the flag, no matter how old the military household is, will be promoted to the khan and made general!!"
Kou Liu held a big flag, shouted all the way, and led the scouts to fly past in front of the formation.
The knights were ready for battle.
On the opposite side, Ah Huiqijin was driving at the front army's position, looking at the camp in the distance with fear in his eyes.
The general on the side was reporting the other party's situation, "They have been waiting here for many days. There are less than 10,000 people, all of whom are elite."
Ah Huiqijin was a good hand in business and governance, and Xi Ren completed the feat of the Five Alliances under his account. However, he himself was not good at military affairs. He looked at the general and asked: "Can we go around it?
"
"We have too many people."
"If we change the direction rashly or reduce the marching speed, it will cause great chaos. When the time comes, these people will charge directly and our people will be defeated."
the general replied.
They are not migrating this time, but marching. In order to avoid collisions and falling behind, the entire army must maintain a stable speed and move in one direction.
It's like a makeshift tank. If the front wheels suddenly swerve, the entire tank may collapse instantly.
Ah Huiqi Jin asked: "Can we throw out some baggage and let them rob it?"
"They have already built Gaopo and Juma, and there are many of us, so I'm afraid we won't fall into the trap."
After learning that his effective methods were ineffective, he panicked.
"What can we do? What can we do?"
The general advised: "Don't worry. Although the enemy is elite, they do not have an advantage in numbers. Please allow me to lead people to supervise the front army and kill those who retreat. If we can defeat this Qi army and the morale of the army will be high, we will
Able to escape safely”
"What if Qi Ren Khan comes in pursuit?"
"We will fight quickly!"
"Well, let the general be the supervising general, supervise the whole army, and kill those who retreat!"
"only!!"
This man rode out on horseback.
The Xi people's army continued to approach the waiting Qi people's army in front of them, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.
Even in such a cold day, the Xiren knights were already sweating profusely, and the hands holding the spears were shaking constantly, but they could not retreat. As the front wheels of the chariot, they could even slow down a little.
No matter how fast they are, they will be knocked over and crushed by their own people.
"Woo~~~~~"
The Xi people sounded the command.
The knights of the former army increased their speed and rushed towards the enemy camp.
Kou Liu roared angrily, and the light cavalry held bows and arrows and buffered down the high slope.
The Xiren knights raised their longbows one after another.
"Whoosh~~~"
"Whoosh~~~"
"Bang~~~"
The arrows were like black clouds, covering the sky and the sun. The arrows from both sides crossed arcs and landed on both sides respectively.
Kou Liu led the Qingqi and ran away after shooting.
But Xi Ren had no chance to retreat.
It was just a round of volley, and the Xi people suffered heavy casualties, including men and horses, and howled again and again. But soon, someone took their place and continued to advance, and the distance between the two sides was once again narrowed.
When Kou Liu led the knights back, the second round of knights led by Yan Heijing launched a second volley.
The Xi people braved the arrows, and some of them fell off their horses before they could even fight back. However, the entire army was in an advanced state, and these people were regarded as stepping stones by their own people and continued to move forward.
Still, the bodies caused some confusion.
Under the impact of arrows, they finally overturned the horse blocking the front.
This gap was not narrow, the defense line was very long, but Liu Taozi did not choose to separate the army and completely block the gap, but blocked it in the middle, and filled it with corpses after overturning the horse.
After the ravine, Xiren's knights can pass directly through both sides.
Liu Taozi's formation relied on a large triangular cone formation on a high slope, but this cone shape was different from the traditional cone shape. The two sides of the cone shape and the rear formation were composed of heavy cavalry, while the light cavalry were in the middle and front.
Therefore, the light cavalry can continuously rush out from the middle to shoot and kill, while the heavy cavalry will protect both sides well, while preventing the Cangtou inside from fleeing out of fear.
The Xi people continued to charge, crossing one obstacle after another. After filling the road with countless corpses, they finally outflanked the Wuchuan soldiers from both sides, and finally encountered the heavy cavalry.
"kill!!!"
Liu Taozi gave the order and rushed out with a horse in hand.
The entire formation seemed to be one unit at this moment, and began to advance toward the front.
General Xi Ren, who was supervising the army, was also extremely frightened at this moment!
He thought that the enemy would cut off the two-way advance, thought that the enemy would use heavy cavalry to block the forward momentum, but he never thought that the opponent would maintain their formation and charge directly!
The army of Xi people is like a huge chariot. The enemy can poke the wheels, stab the body, and even transform into rocks, waiting for the chariot to hit it. But the army in front of them chooses to speed up together and hit them face to face.
I want to have a head-on collision with the chariot.
A suicidal move?!
But at this moment, the chariot could no longer slow down, and the two sides collided heavily.
Liu Taozi raised his horse and started fighting from left to right. He was like a hill, with his horse flying up and down, and everyone on the left and right did not dare to approach.
The spears collided and the armor made a muffled sound. The knights continued to kill the enemies in front of them, and countless enemies took their places.
Liu Taozi suddenly slapped the man in front of him off his horse, and a general fiercely sent a spear towards his waist.
“Bang!!”
A spear hit the general on the head, twisting his body and causing the general to fall to the ground. Yao Xiong withdrew the spear, his whole body seemed to be burning, and he roared and rushed forward.
The place where the two sides collided became a real meat grinder at this moment, with corpses falling in piles, the horses wailing, and the knights roaring feebly.
Liu Taozi's army still maintained its formation. They were like standing rocks, facing the impact of the torrent. The floods of Xiren kept rushing in, trying to break up their formation, but this was not easy. They were even still there
Moving forward, the momentum of the forced ridicule slows down directly.
The formation was constantly being impacted. Yao Xiong had already changed several weapons and was on the verge of exhaustion.
His hands were sore and numb again. He had been hit countless times and there were two arrows stuck in his chest, but he felt no pain at all.
The knights around him fell one after another.
The front wheel of the chariot composed of the Xiren Army suddenly slowed down, which caused the parts of the chariot to begin to disintegrate and collide.
There was initial confusion among the Xi people. The Chinese and rear troops who were still charging collided with each other, and people from different tribes suddenly drew their swords at each other.
Many disadvantages of the army's expedition broke out at the same time.
Qi Jin sent six more trusted generals to various places to restore order.
At this moment, the front troops on both sides who had not been hit by Liu Taozi had successfully passed through Pingchuan and reached the vast space between heaven and earth on the opposite side.
At the same time, Qi Jin also lost control over those people. Their first thought after crossing Pingchuan was not to turn around and attack the Wuchuan soldiers, but to leave here.
The former army suddenly discovered this gap, which was the gap leading to a way out.
They don't have to fight with these enemies here at all. As long as they change the direction slightly while their own people are still fighting, they can pass here safely and smoothly.
When they were forced into a desperate situation, they fought to the death, but the moment they found a way out, the smart people in each tribe had their own ideas.
While some people were attacking the enemy positions one after another, some people began to quietly lead their troops to escape from both sides.
They even did not hesitate to attack their side troops and seize the way to escape.
At first there were just two small shunts, but these shunts became bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, the pressure faced by the Wuchuan soldiers began to decrease, and the impact of those who came one after another began to weaken, and they could even continue to move forward.
I saw the army of Xi people in front of me consciously divided into two groups, directly bypassing the awl in front of me, and fled from the mouth of Pingchuan River from both sides.
The two wheels of the chariot suddenly separated and fled from both sides. The entire chariot was also split into two. They could no longer care about the Wuchuan soldiers in front of them and fled one after another. For this reason, they did not hesitate to kill each other. The entire Xiren army
It's total chaos.
The worst thing was that Qi Jin had just discovered that the army was diverging. When he raised his head again, the awl had already appeared in front of him.
"Ouch!!!"
Qi Jin let out a roar, and the arrow shot out like lightning, piercing his throat.
Qi Jin fell to the ground.
Yan Heijuan shouted: "The thief chief is dead!!"
"The thief chief is dead!!"
But this had no impact on the Xi Ren army. Qi Jin had never been the commander, and the army was still fleeing. However, cheers came from the Wuchuan soldiers, and Yao Xiong's strength surged up from nowhere.
, and charged away again.
Awl just penetrated the mighty army. The army in a state of chaos just wanted to escape. Even the generals were only thinking about their own tribes at the moment and were unwilling to fight for the life and death of other tribes. Everyone
They all hope that other tribes can come forward so that their family can leave smoothly.
The Wuchuan soldiers no longer encountered resistance, and were hunted everywhere like wolves like sheep.
The leader of the Xi people was unwilling to fight here and led his tribe to the rest of Pingchuan.
The mighty army of ridicules fell apart.
"Faster!!"
The leading general wore a mask and led an elite army of tens of thousands of people, rushing towards the Erhe River.
They maintained an extremely fast marching speed, with one person and three horses, but even at such a speed, they did not fall behind. The general kept issuing military orders and changing formations during the march. The deputy general's face changed with fear.
, several times of admonishment, but several changes of formation, all went extremely smoothly, and the deputy general looked at the general in a slightly different way.
Genius!!
I heard that this was the first battle for this young general who had just been promoted to commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army.
But it was obviously his first time contacting the military, but this young general showed extremely outstanding military talents.
To him, marching was nothing more than a child's play. The chores of marching that had so troubled Liu Taozi and others in the past seemed to have no existence here at all.
Changing formations while marching is a taboo, as it is easy to roll over, but this general seems to have eyes on the back of his head. After a few military orders, he directly completed the change of uniform for the march. The deputy general was originally arranged by the emperor to teach him, but at this moment, the deputy general actually
I feel like I can learn a lot from him!!
You can't see the rawness in him that just came into contact with the army.
As one of the hunters, they moved towards the area where Wuchuan soldiers were located at extremely fast speeds.
The general is wearing a mask, so you can't see the change in his face.
However, the faces of several generals around him were very serious.
Because they were already very close to the main battlefield, but they did not hear the sound of fighting, the sound of war drums, or even the trembling caused by the hoofs of horses.
The war seemed to be over, but they didn't know the outcome.
This battle may have many results, and most of them are not what they want to see.
When they appeared on the horizon like those Xi people, the general did not even order them to put on armor.
They finally saw the battlefield.
Inside and outside the plains, there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Countless corpses piled up around them, forming high mountains one after another, with horses and livestock running wildly all over the mountains and plains.
From where they stood, almost everywhere they could see with the naked eye were corpses and livestock.
There were soldiers who were tiring to clean up the battlefield, and they also discovered this group of troops approaching quickly.
After a while, a scout stood in front of them.
The scout's face was covered in blood, ferocious and terrifying.
"Who is coming?!"
Facing this elite army of ten thousand people in front of him, the scout's words were not very polite.
The generals did not feel angry, they were just looking blankly at the tragic battle situation in the distance.
"It's me, Gao Changgong. Your name is Kou Liu?"
Kou Liu was startled, and now he lost his aloofness and hurriedly dismounted his horse and bowed to see him.
Gao Changgong looked around, "Where is Xi Ren's main force?"
"Run away."
"There are too many of them and we can't stop them."
"How much did you run?"
"I don't know, half of them ran across the river mouth, and the other half ran to the north."
Gao Changgong looked around again. Just by observing with the naked eye, he could infer that the number of corpses here was definitely more than 30,000, and it might be far more. Those livestock could not be counted.
"Where is your general?"
"He went north to pursue the defeated troops."
"Then who is sitting here now?"
"Vice-General Yao Xiong."
After Kou Liu answered, he hurriedly sent someone to call Yao Xiong.
Gao Changgong ordered his deputy general to lead his people to the north to assist Liu Taozi, while he stayed here.
A moment later, Yao Xiong appeared here limping.
This guy was naked from the waist up, his whole body was wrapped in silk cloth, he used his spear as a crutch, and even his face was wrapped in cloth.
"King!!"
Yao Xiong walked forward with a smile, threw away the spear in his hand, and bowed to see him.
Gao Changgong quickly helped him up and looked at the bleeding left side of his face, "What are you doing?"
"Being bitten by an arrow, no harm! No harm!"
"I am a lucky person. Wang Dameng died in the battle with Zhang Chong. There are still a few serious injuries. I don't know if I can survive. I'm still doing well."
"Your Majesty, please follow me to the camp to rest. Is Mr. Zhang okay?"
Gao Changgong looked around again, "Oh, because of those villains, you have suffered such a hard battle."
"Why did your Majesty say this? What's so strange about being killed and injured when you go out to fight?"
"We gained great military merit in this battle. Just me, I will behead seventeen levels!!"
"We killed Ah Hui's Qijin!"
"Dare to ask your Majesty, such a great achievement"
"Maybe my brother will be rewarded?!"
Chapter completed!
