Chapter 67: Massacre
A hedge, one side is unscathed, the other side falls by a third.
It can't be said that they were unscathed, because two of Xiao Ding's personal guards were still carrying crossbow arrows, and the arrow feathers were trembling outside. One of the helmets was missing. They were covered in blood, but they were not very serious at all.
I don't know if it's my opponent's or my own.
There was a loud exclamation from the stands.
Zhao Suo stood up in shock, staring at the school grounds in disbelief. Behind him, the King of Chu, Zhao Jing, opened his mouth in shock.
Zhang Chao even lost his earlier composure and actually took a few steps forward and stood at the edge of the stands, holding on to the railing with both hands.
Xiao Cheng heard the sound of many people vomiting.
The Song Dynasty had been in peace for too long. Except for the people on the border, places like Bianliang did not know what war was. But this time, Xiao Ding vividly presented the horror of war in front of them for the first time.
Of those who fell in the field, not a single body was intact.
The bodies of the first group of people who were hit by arrows were trampled mercilessly by the horses that followed. If they were trampled on their bodies, no obvious scars would be visible through their armor, but those who were unfortunate enough to be trampled on their heads
, it was so miserable. It was like a watermelon that had been chewed and exploded, and the contents of my brain were scattered all over the floor.
There were even some people who were knocked down by guns and knives, with big holes in their chests, and their limbs were separated from their bodies. Some of their heads even flew to a place not far from the stands, and their eyes were staring at these people in the stands.
Woolen cloth.
These pampered dignitaries, who usually couldn't even kill a chicken, now saw a group of people who were still alive and kicking, turned into mutilated corpses in front of them in an instant. This not only gave them a visual
It brought great stimulation, and also made their hearts suffer an unparalleled impact.
Xiao Cheng saw a red-robed official rushing to the stands with his mouth covered.
It seems to be someone from Yushitai.
Although his face was calm, Xiao Cheng was actually greatly shocked.
This is war.
For the first time, he saw a live cavalry confrontation in the cold weapon era.
Life and death, in such a short moment.
"Kill the Liao dog!"
At this moment when everyone in the stands lost their composure, Xiao Ding, who had just turned around, pointed his spear forward, roared, and charged forward again.
Among the eleven people, except for Xiao Ding who still held a spear in his hand, the remaining guards were all holding sabers at this moment. Their spears were lost after the first attack was successful.
They don't have the superior strength of ordinary people like Xiao Ding. If they want to keep the spear in their hands, they are afraid of injuring their arms. On the battlefield, this is a self-destructive behavior.
If before the first impact, these soldiers and generals who had just returned from the North were still worried, now their hearts were filled with the joy of victory.
The outcome of the war has basically been decided at this moment.
The Yanling Formation attacks again.
Passing by like the wind.
The team of the Dragon Guard and Horse Army was still in chaos at this moment.
Some of them haven't even turned around yet.
When they heard the roar of the neat killing dogs on the opposite side, when they turned around and saw the eleven killing gods chasing after them ferociously, when they saw the bodies of Pao Ze lying on the ground in a pool of blood, many people panicked on the spot.
Already.
Some people still had some courage, and they patted their horses to face their opponents.
Some simply didn't turn around, and just continued to move forward, trying to distance themselves from their opponents. Some even more outrageous, actually hit their horses and ran to both sides.
And Xin Jian, who was at the front before, was actually at the back by his subordinates at this moment. He watched helplessly as Xiao Ding led his subordinates to kill him, but he was actually out of reach.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" he shouted loudly.
It's a pity that Xin Jian himself is just an official. There are even several people with higher positions than him in this team. How can Xin Jian, who usually has no prestige at all, let these people do what they want? What's more, people's hearts are already floating at this moment?
Once the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Even a man with great authority may not be able to control his troops, let alone him?
So Xin Jian watched helplessly as those who rushed towards Xiao Ding's team were easily killed by their opponents. He saw Xiao Ding's tigers like a pack of wolves, killing them through the army formation, and saw Xiao Ding's bearded face killing him. in front of.
"Suffer death!" Xin Jian's voice was full of anger, he argued in detail, and even had a hint of crying.
Because he understood that they had already lost this gambling battle.
His hope of a bright future, on which he had gradually staked everything, was like that beautiful bubble in the sun, which only bloomed for a moment of beauty before being ruthlessly shattered.
The only thing he could do was to kill Xiao Ding or atone for his sins.
The second round is no longer a hedge.
Because of these cavalrymen of the Dragon Guard Army, only a few bravely faced them on horseback and were mercilessly killed and dismounted. The rest did not even raise their horse speed at all. When the opponent came from behind at a speed like the wind, When they passed by, when the cold blade was dragged between their throats, they didn't even have time to react.
The remaining Longwei cavalry army collapsed.
They actually scattered and fled.
This time, someone among the ten guards was finally injured. Cao Can, the thinnest, had an arm broken.
He stopped the horse with some annoyance, and actually stopped it in the middle of the school field. He took out a strap from the leather bag of the horse, and used the strap to tie his broken arm and body. Together, he then raised his saber, controlled the horse completely with his legs, and chased and chopped down the fleeing Dragon Guard cavalry with shouts.
And during this process, none of the Dragon Guard horsemen attacked the lone border cavalry who was tending to his injuries.
This is really something that is difficult to understand in the hearts of countless people in the stands.
Xiao Cheng remembered what his elder brother had told him about seeing a dozen Liao cavalry chasing hundreds of Song soldiers and fleeing in embarrassment in the North.
Now, it is just the Bianliang template of this incident.
The energy and energy of the entire Dragon Guard cavalry army had been completely shattered after two consecutive rounds of attacks.
The competition on the school field has now turned into a one-sided massacre.
The two dragoon cavalrymen panicked and fled directly towards the stands.
Speaking of which, these two people were quite clever. They found that as long as they walked in this direction, their opponents would no longer care about them. They were so focused on getting away from these murderous gods that they completely forgot about the people in the stands.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
In the stands, the royal guards shouted in unison.
The two frightened Dragon Guards did not hear the deafening cry at all, and they still ran in this direction.
A Xuanjia general who led Ban Zhi frowned, glanced at Zhang Chao not far away, and finally issued the order.
"shoot!"
On the stand, Yulong Bow and Arrow raised the enemy-defeating bow in his hand. After a burst of arrows, these two lost horse soldiers, including their men and horses, were shot and fell like hedgehogs in the distance.
About fifty steps from the stands.
Zhao Suo's face was ashen.
Xiao Yu's face was filled with joy.
He stood up from the chair, walked straight to Zhao Suo, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the victory has been decided, there is no point in continuing the fight, it will only cause more casualties, let's call it a day!"
Zhao Suo nodded: "Zhang Chao, that's it for now."
Zhang Chao nodded with difficulty, "Cry gold, stop the war!"
The gong was struck, and the clanging sound echoed throughout the school grounds.
Xiao Ding's soldiers, who were chasing down their fleeing opponents, immediately reined in their horses, slowed down, and quickly gathered together. While looking warily at the Dragon Guard horse troops who were still running around and not knowing how to deal with themselves, they began to slowly move forward.
Retreat to their starting point.
But the fighting in the school grounds still did not stop.
Because Xiao Ding was still fighting with Xin Jian.
If you hear the drum, you will advance; if you hear the gold, you will retreat.
Xiao Ding, who had won a great victory, was not proud of himself and was originally prepared to withdraw from the battle.
But what he didn't expect was that Xin Jian on the other side would wrap around him like a mad dog, seemingly not even hearing the sound of the golden gong to stop the fight.
Two consecutive attempts to withdraw caused Xiao Ding to encounter dangerous moves, which immediately aroused Xiao Ding's anger.
There is not much difference in the kung fu between the two. Xiao Ding may be stronger and have more experience in fighting enemies, but such a unilateral concession is extremely dangerous. When masters compete, victory or defeat is always on the line.
In the stands, Zhang Chao's face was ashen.
Not only in the competition between the two armies, the Dragon Guard and Horse Army were defeated miserably, but they also lost completely in terms of military discipline.
Look at these Yankees who came from the border areas. They are ordered and prohibited, but the Dragon Guards, until now, have not gathered the remaining soldiers and horses. Although there are not many people who want to be gathered, most of them have become cold corpses on the school field.
.
As for Xin Jian's unreasonable entanglement, Zhang Chaowen, as a veteran on the battlefield, also saw clearly.
He Zheng and others retreated dozens of steps away. They did not step forward to attack Xin Jian. If they stepped forward at this moment, they could easily kill this guy who had obviously lost his mind. But at this moment, they
I think it's time for my family's control to show its talents.
Being able to show your face in front of officials is such a good thing, so they had better not disturb it.
Of course, this is also due to their absolute confidence in their ability to control the battlefield.
But there still needs to be cheering.
The ten men struck their armor uniformly with their sabers and shouted rhythmically.
Xin Jian had really lost his mind.
He no longer wants his mother to linger on the sickbed, he no longer wants his young son to starve, and he no longer wants to look at his wife's sad eyes. Of course, he also doesn't want to face the endless retaliation, and all of this seems to be the only solution to death.
Only by understanding Xiao Ding in front of him can we save him.
He attacked Xiao Ding crazily, completely ignoring his own attack, and it was extremely dangerous for Xiao Ding to parry.
Chapter completed!
