Chapter 383 Blood Qi
Chapter 383 Blood
The front was already close and the battle was dark. The vanguard of the Shence Army in the middle rushed into the enemy group and advanced step by step, and the people behind slowly followed. The killing efficiency in the cold weapon era was not high, unlike the hot weapons that died. Even if the troops and horses were slashed in one slash, it was progressing very slowly. Moreover, everyone was wearing armor. Some Tang soldiers fell off their horses after several slashes and were still dead, and they still fought with weapons. It was completely physical work. After fighting for a long time, the front army retreated one after another. The Tubo army did not pursue and took the opportunity to replace the people, otherwise they would be unable to resist the people who had sufficient strength, and the people behind rushed over immediately.
At this time, a group of people near Xue Chongxun passed by. Xue Chongxun raised his sword and prepared to go into battle in person. Zhang Wulang, Bao Cheng, Li Kuiyong and other powerful generals immediately came to spread the left and right to protect him. At this time, Xue Chongxun still missed the newly recognized Yang Sixu's godson Yang Meng, who came back to attack the king's tent. Xue Chongxun found that the guy with developed limbs was very brave, but Yang Meng was not here today and stayed with Yang Sixu. The rear camp was equally important, Yang Sixu also needed several familiar generals.
"Every time I encounter a charge, I always think of Tangtuan Pian." Xue Chongxun suddenly said in a daze. The generals' expressions were condensed.
"Kill!" There were shouting around, and the horse's hooves roared, and the noise in his ears never stopped. But Xue Chongxun seemed to hear a voice: It was very beautiful, everything was fine... When the horse's hooves started, Xue Chongxun turned his head and looked at him, as if he saw flying apricot blossoms.
Soon, he caught the enemy and fought. The sword light shone with blood, and people were waving weapons everywhere. The cold air made people's nostrils a little numb, but they could still smell a disgusting fishy smell. Xue Chongxun was very familiar with this smell, but he had never been used to it.
The three Tang army armies still maintained the shape of the Pin-shaped advance. The Shence Army had attacked hundreds of steps into the enemy camp, and the progress of more than 10,000 each on the left and right wings was later nailed into the Tubo army like a wooden deck. The Shence Army in the middle was the most fierce and fierce, and the enemy troops on the left and right sides had to bear the pressure from the other two Tang troops and could not effectively siege the Shence Army. The situation is currently very good for the Tang army. It is indeed a waste to use cavalry like this, but both sides are cavalry in charge of fighting and fighting for courage.
Every time he goes to battle, Xue Chongxun feels inexplicably excited. When he thinks of such a person who leads troops to fight, he is less for the purpose of boosting morale. The main reason is that he likes to do this and finds that he is good at it. Just as a person who is racing knows that there is danger, the feeling of being addicted to it is not difficult to understand.
At this time, a fully armed Tubo knight rushed to the front in an instant. In the moment when the close forces were connected, Xue Chongxun saw the arrival of the weapon, dodged suddenly, and then slashed over with a sword and screamed "ah" and the enemy soldier turned upward from the horse. Killed one person in one round, a simple trick... The perfect combination of skills, power, and reactions in an instant made Xue Chongxun excited.
When the Tang army rushed to the front, it was difficult to keep the line and they fought each other. However, several generals around Xue Chongxun were always guarding each other, fearing that he would make any mistakes.
Suddenly, with a "huh", several Tubo soldiers suddenly bumped into Xue Chongxun and others, and immediately started fighting. The cavalry attacking Xue Chongxun reacted very quickly and slashed from his head with a knife. Now Xue Chongxun had no place to hide, and heard the people next to him shouting "Beware of Xue Lang", he could only pick up the long sword and swing it upward to block it.
"Clang!" A sharp impact sounded in his ears and made people's ears buzzing, and sparks flashed in front of his eyes in broad daylight. Xue Chongxun's tiger mouth was numb. The other party slashed from top to bottom, and the momentum was very strong under the action of inertia. He naturally did not want to block it hard, and it was too physically exhausted. The war horse neighed, and the two almost passed by. When Xue Chongxun turned around and wanted to counterattack, he heard a "bang" sound. Zhang Wulang's arrow penetrated the man's head at a close distance of several steps. The Tubo knight could not even scream and fell softly like a sack.
Everyone rushed for a while and then stepped forward hundreds of steps. Xue Chongxun felt that his arms were weak and he dared not fight, so he shouted, "Change teams!" A sergeant behind quickly beat the drums and drums, and everyone followed Xue Chongxun and turned his horse's head and ran back. Then he saw the knight behind kicking the horse's belly and rushing towards him with murderous aura.
Wearing heavy armor and wielding steel things to do vigorous exercise is obviously a very physical effort. If you don’t use any effort, you will easily die if you are tired and you will be able to die. Everyone will rotate and fight, otherwise if the queue in front can continue to attack all day, would you still be a mortal?
"Retreat quickly if you are in front!" A general shouted not far away.
Taking advantage of the time when the two sides were separated, the archers rode and shot without worrying about hurting their own people, and the arrows were flying in the air. Xue Chongxun was riding a horse and running happily, but suddenly he felt the air under his butt, and the front hooves of the mount knelt down. He subconsciously shouted, and found that he had flew up like a bird, but the feeling of flying clouds and fog lasted for a blink of an eye. There was a loud bang, and his body hit the ground with iron objects, and there was a severe pain everywhere in all limbs. The general beside him shouted, "Is Xue Lang okay?" Several people jumped off the horse and rescued him.
Xue Chongxun looked back and saw that his mount was still struggling on the ground, as if he was standing up, and his four hooves were stomping on the ground, and it was probably shot by an arrow.
Everyone retreated to the back of the forward and rested while following behind and slowly advanced to keep a distance. The sergeant also chose a tall brown horse and came over. Xue Chongxun changed his horse and rode on a new mount.
He looked down and saw that his right hand was trembling slightly, and he continued to use too much force. There were two obvious collapses on the long knife in his hand. The blade was forged by hard steel, with good hardness but low plasticity. It was probably the first time he blocked it with the blade. He threw it away casually and turned around and asked his personal soldiers to send a horizontal knife up again.
A two-handed sword like a horizontal knife is generally not a good choice when using it immediately. However, Xue Chongxun can use a horizontal knife with one hand and both hands, and he is most familiar with this weapon, so he has always been accustomed to using a horizontal knife.
Holding a brand new horizontal knife in his hand, he soon recovered a lot of physical strength. After using the weapon for a long time, it was not only a tool, but also a work of art that made people reluctant to leave. Just like Xue Chongxun, who held the mobile phone in his hand and played with it, it felt even more... The weight in his hand made people feel real trust. The rough and solid hilt is very textured like a man's rough and reliable. Whenever Xue Chongxun touched such a knife, although it was two different feelings from stroking the skin of a beautiful woman, he had the same happiness and enjoyment in his heart. The tenderness of a beauty and the power of a armored soldier are two-sided feelings of a human being. He looked forward to the final victory and enjoyed the process of fighting.
The Tang army attacked in turn, from noon to dusk. Although the number of people was smaller than that of the Tubo army, they took the initiative from beginning to end on the front battlefield and continued to move forward. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the damage of Tubo was undoubtedly much greater than that of the Tang army. The snow was covered with corpses casually. When you see, most of them were Tubo people with small braids.
At this moment, the Tubo people in the middle could not bear the slaughter of the brave Shen Ce Army, and the depth gradually began to become chaotic, with a mess of people and horses fleeing back.
Seeing this, Xue Chongxun was overjoyed and shouted: "Crash! Defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" Thousands of troops shouted, and rushed up again like wolves and tigers.
When Jide Zuzan saw that the troops in front of the central army were almost collapsed, he was furious and ordered the central army to block it: "Those who retreat after the battle will be killed!"
But the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to them, and the people in front could not resist the chaos. Jide Zuzan said to the noble ministers on both sides: "Immediately transfer the soldiers and horses to replace them, and let the damn mobs in front of them retreat!"
Lang advised: "The Tang soldiers are aggressive and are in front of us. I'm afraid the timing of the reorganization of the army is wrong. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of letting them come to the central army."
At this time, the leader of the Mo family rarely agreed with Lang family: "The Khan thought twice. It is not advisable to use the rear army to replace it at this time. We can only let the central army rise up and stop the decline..." He said as he turned his head and looked at the sun on the western front. "As long as you stabilize your position first, it will be dark within an hour. When the battle is stopped, our army can calmly rectify and fight again tomorrow."
Jide Zuzan pondered for a moment, accepted the minister's advice, and said, "Then let the main force of the central army take over the enemy and move the king's flag to the rear army."
After hearing this, Mo said in surprise: "Khan! Never! At this time, our army was defeated step by step, but not lacking in combat power. Because of the low morale, if the king's flag moves back, it will accelerate the defeat! It is time for the Khan to supervise the battle himself, let all the troops fight hard under the Khan's king's flag!"
Lang frowned and said, "There are blood flowing everywhere on the battlefield. You actually slandered the great knights charge forward and took risks. What's your intention?"
The situation was critical. Mo family ignored that guy and did not argue with him. They only advised Jide Zuzan: "I, Tubo, established the country with martial arts, and the Khan is even more wise and brave. When this enemy is narrow, he fights bravely! Xue Chongxun dared to lead two thousand cavalry into my camp a month ago. Although he is my enemy, his courage is commendable. We believe that the Khan must not be under Xue Chongxun... Last time he was just a ignorant of preventing problems, so why fear today!"
The Mo family's short words indeed grasped the key points of people's psychology. Compared with Xue Chongxun, who was fighting against Tubo in this battle, it really aroused the blood of Jide Zuzan. He is a monarch of a great country, how could he admit that he is not as brave as a vassal king of the Tang Dynasty in terms of force?
What the Tubo people are proud of is force. What is it that? What is it like? What is the culture? Jide Zuzan gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Okay, I will meet this person named Xue today! I will order the central army to move forward and repel the Tang army!"
