Nearly 30,000 Tuyuhun soldiers who had laid down their weapons were mercilessly killed. There were stumps and broken arms everywhere. The blood dyed the land for miles around dark brown, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. As Li Siyuan,

The commander of this battle had no sense of pride in his heart, only numbness.

Facing a corpse with no head visible at a glance, anyone's nerves will become numb. Even Li Siyuan, who is used to seeing fighting on the battlefield, was shocked and speechless, not to mention those recruits, many of whom were lying on the side vomiting.

Even after I vomited all the acidic water in my stomach, I still kept retching.

A veteran looked at all this blankly, still holding a bun in his hand, chewing on it, and said vaguely: "Brother, it will get better as time goes by. I was like this when I first joined the army, waiting for you to kill me."

When there are more people, they will no longer care about these things. After all, being alive on the battlefield is the greatest happiness."

No one among the new recruits paid him any attention, and they continued to vomit...

At the same time, Fengxiang's army was attacked inexplicably and suffered heavy losses. Li Maozhen directly ordered the army to return.

Han Jian, the governor of the Zhenguo Army (Huazhou), attacked Yuzhou, but could not take it for a long time. He was attacked by Zhou Dewei's 10,000 cavalry, and fled back to Huazhou overnight, leaving behind 5,000 corpses...

Lulong Jiedushi Li Kuangwei fought all the way to Taiyuan Prefecture, and started a duel with Li Keyong's main force under Jinyang City. Li Keyong personally took command of the battle. Li Keyong's Ya'er Army was dressed in black robes, holding long bows and saddles.

Hanging machetes, each one is extremely tough.

On the other hand, Li Kuangwei's Youzhou Army, although they also had bright armor, lost a lot of momentum in the first place.

Li Keyong's eldest son, Li Luoluo, was dressed in a tight black robe, with a white horse without a trace of color on his crotch. He was showing off his power in front of the battle. Li Kuangwei's general Cao Liang came forward and fought with Li Luoluo. The two horses were wrong.

At the moment of stirrup, Li Luo returned to his horse and stabbed Cao Liang under the horse. The morale of the Hedong army was high. Li Ke waved the command flag in his hand and shouted: "Kill!"

The sound of war drums rumbled like thunder, and the black cavalry rushed towards the Lulong Army's team like a tide.

In this case, Li Kuangwei had no choice but to give it a try, because he knew that the disparity in the strength of the two sides was not big, and they relied on morale. If they retreated easily, it would inevitably affect their own morale. If morale is low,

, this battle will definitely be defeated even more miserably.

First there were two rounds of overwhelming arrow rain, and then the cavalry from both sides came into contact. Li Kuangwei's cavalry used spears. Although the spears were not as powerful as the horse spear, after all, the horse spear was not easy to make, and the success rate was not very high.

High, so it is very impossible for the army to equip the army on a large scale. Only a few generals can be equipped with horses.

This contact between the two sides showed the difference between them. Whether it was the experience of horse fighting between the two sides or the riding skills of the cavalry, the cavalry in Lulong Town was not even the slightest bit different from the Ya'er Army in Hedong. Most of the cavalry in the Hedong Army were

They were athletes from outside the Great Wall, all of them extremely brave. The sharp scimitar in their hands shone with cold light. They only controlled the horse with their feet, without lifting the reins at all.

On the other hand, the riding skills of the cavalry in Lulong Town were much worse. Many of them even stiffened on the horse, holding on to the reins tightly, and some even held on to the mane of the war horse. You can imagine the result of this kind of cavalry duel.

What will happen?

After a round of cavalry confrontation, the Youzhou army suffered heavy losses. The men from the northern part of Hedong laughed loudly, and many of them even blew sharp whistles, clearly disdainful of these Youzhou troops.

Li Kuangwei's expression was ugly. He waved his hand and the rows of shield bearers spread apart to both sides, revealing a row of twelve bed crossbows. The bowstrings of the bed crossbows were made of several twisted steel wires and were used for stringing.

It's a winch, its firing power is very powerful, and its range is also very impressive.

Suddenly, more than a dozen thick arrows streaked across the sky. Several of those who had whistled just now were nailed to the ground alive, and even the horses under their crotches were stained red with blood. There was even a man and his horse.

They were all nailed to the ground.

The bed crossbow can fire three javelin-like arrows each time, which is astonishingly powerful. The twelve bed crossbows fire in turn, causing great damage to Li Keyong's Ya'er Army. Although the Ya'er Army has excellent riding skills,

He could move dexterously on horseback, but the flesh and blood of the war horse could not stop the large arrows of the crossbow, and the cavalry's dense formation was quickly disrupted.

But Li Keyong had no intention of calling the gold to withdraw his troops. He actually picked up the drumsticks and beat the war drums to boost morale. Li Keyong had a high prestige among the Shatuo army, and he was also a god-like existence among the Saibei Hu people.

The sound of war drums was like beating on the hearts of those Shatuo soldiers, making these Saibei athletes rush forward desperately as if they had been given blood.

Li Luoluo took the lead and led thousands of Shatuo warriors forward bravely. Several times, the javelins fired by the crossbows missed Li Luoluo. Although the young warrior's heart was beating wildly, he still did not stop at all, because he knew

, he is a goshawk in the desert and the son of Li Keyong, the first warrior in the northern Saibei.

The situation in Hedong was already very serious. He knew better than anyone else that the victory or defeat of this battle would determine the fate of the Shatuo people. Helian Duo's defeat and Li Maozhen's rejection did not mean that the coalition forces were repulsed. The main force of the coalition forces

To be precise, it was Li Kuangwei's Lulong Army. As long as the army in Lulong Town was driven back, the rabble Zhang Jun temporarily recruited was not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, in this situation, it was impossible for Li Luoluo to back down at all. For his father's foundation in Hedong and for his own status in the army, Li Luoluo, who was only sixteen years old, decided to give it a go.

Facts have proved that his decision was correct. Although the crossbows in Lulong Town were powerful, they were limited in number. Under the brave charge of thousands of Shatuo cavalry, they quickly rushed to the front. After the distance was shortened, Shatuo

The strange soldiers fought back with strong bows on horseback, and rows of arrows flew in, covering the sky. Of course, the archers of Lulong Town would not sit still and wait for death, but their archery skills were not as good as those of the Shatuo people who were good at bows and horses.

Nations are not the same at all.

But at this time, the Shatuo Qi soldiers did not have any cover at all. They could only dodge and move on horseback, while the archers of Lulong Town were hiding behind rows of tall shield soldiers, so although their archery skills

, but after several rounds of shooting, the casualty ratios of both sides were almost the same.

Then there was a hand-to-hand encounter. The Shatuo cavalry hung their long bows on their saddles, picked up their scimitars, and began their best horse battle. Strong horses, sharp scimitars, splashing blood, and screams of death...

All of these are intertwined into a cruel and grand battlefield, which is the battlefield of the Middle Ages.

They don't even think about what will happen in the next second, because a large part of them will lose their lives in the next second and turn into unconscious corpses, so they just wave the knives and guns in their hands, mechanically

Slash, pick, and dye your armor red with the opponent's blood.

At this moment, life turned out to be so lowly. "Be a peace dog, not a person in troubled times!" Anyone who has experienced such cruel killings will express such emotion.

In a duel in the wild with equal forces, the Shatuo people have a very obvious advantage. The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Li Kuangwei. However, it is impossible to retreat under such circumstances. If a retreat is ordered, the opponent will take advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy, which will result in losses.

It will be immeasurable, not to mention that Lee Converse still has backup plans.

When Li Kuangwei and Li Keyong lined up thirty miles outside Jinyang City and the battle was getting fierce, General Duan Liang, under the command of Wang Rong, the Jiedushi Commander of Chengde Town, led 18,000 people to detour to Jinyang City.

Because Jinyang should be an empty city at this time. According to intelligence, there are only 3,000 old and weak people defending the city. It should not be difficult for 18,000 people to break through Jinyang with 3,000 old and weak people defending the city.

Duan Liang's men and horses came to the city, and hundreds of ladders were carried by the soldiers and ran towards Jinyang City. First, dozens of ladders were placed across the wide moat to form a temporary bridge. The soldiers began to cross the bridge skillfully.

He put the ladder up to the city wall. However, there were only a few old and weak soldiers on the city wall who were using their bows and arrows in vain. Faced with this situation, Duan Liang had a smile on his lips.

As long as Jinyang is occupied, Li Keyong will have a hard time returning home. Duan Liang will definitely face Li Keyong's crazy counterattack, but Duan Liang is not afraid at all because he knows that he is not fighting alone. Li Kuangwei

With Li Keyong's main force contained, Helian Duo containing Li Siyuan's team, Han Jian made a sneak attack on Weizhou. I'm afraid he has succeeded by now, Duan Liang thought to himself.

How did he know that among the people he was thinking of, only Li Kuangwei was still fighting with Li Keyong, and that he was already defeated, but in addition to struggling to support, Helian Duo, Han Jian, Li Maozhen and others

The army has long been defeated.

Just when Duan Liang was about to laugh triumphantly, a drum sounded in Jinyang City, and a general appeared at the top of the city, followed by archers, axemen, and spearmen. The general laughed and said: "Duan

Liang Xiaoer, I’m Zhou Dewei here, why don’t you just tie up your hands quickly!”

Then a barrage of random arrows was shot down, and the water in the moat was like dumplings. Hundreds of Chengde Town soldiers "plopped" after being hit by arrows and fell into the moat. Those Chengde Town soldiers who were about to climb up the city.

Buckets of scalding hot water were poured on the soldiers, and they all rolled down the ladder amidst screams...

When Duan Liang saw this scene, how did it look like an empty city? Flags were fluttering on top of the city, and Zhou Dewei was commanding Ruoding. At this moment, dust started to rise in the distance, and he saw "Li, the Commander of the Tibetan and Han Horse Infantry Army" in the distance.

Flag. Duan Liang was shocked. He knew it was Li Siyuan's team, and a bad premonition came over him. After all, he was also a battle-hardened general. At this time, he decisively ordered: "Emergency retreat!"

Li Kuangwei saw that his army had suffered heavy losses, but the news from Jinyang City still had not been transmitted. Could there be something wrong? Li Kuangwei thought so. At this moment, several fast horses galloped from a distance. They dismounted and said:

"General Li, something bad has happened. I heard that General Helian has been defeated and fled back to Tyuhun. General Duan Liang was attacked by Li Siyuan and Zhou Dewei at the gate of Jinyang City and has retreated..."

Li Kuangwei sighed and said: "Retreat!"
