The soldiers from the Zhongtang Dynasty nearby were not surprised to see their colleagues being killed, because these veterans with bloody swords were already accustomed to death, and they knew that there was no way to avoid death in a war? Not to mention these dozen soldiers.
He violated military orders and went out to die, so there was nothing he could say.
However, something happened next that made the people of the Zhongtang Dynasty extremely angry! It turned out that after the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty who rushed out were shot and killed, a dozen of them came out from among the cavalry and galloped to the place.
Next to the corpse, he jumped off his horse and actually cut off the ears on the corpse, and threw it triumphantly into the saddlebag next to it. It could be said that he had suddenly poked a hornet's nest.
The culture of the Central Plains emphasizes that the body, hair and skin are inherited from the parents and cannot be damaged at will. Moreover, the deceased is the most important. Anyone who insults the corpse has always provoked public outrage! Under such circumstances, the Zhongtang Army group immediately became agitated.
, the crowd was furious, and they immediately separated into an array. Finally, they still maintained a trace of reason. They knew that running out like this would be a death, but they saw a warrior roaring and rushing out with twenty or thirty cavalry.
Take these dozens of cavalry on the opposite side!
The strong general who went into battle at this time was a famous person among the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty, named Liu Baozi. Although the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty were mainly infantry, generals and other generals still had their own mounts, and
When going on an expedition, the general is always accompanied by about a hundred cavalry guards. What do these people do? They are used to protect the general from breaking out of the siege in case the situation goes wrong during the war.
At this time, as soon as Liu Baozi came out, the armies of the Mid-Tang Dynasty saw fifty or sixty Northern Qi cavalry on the opposite side within a few hundred meters. Obviously, the number of both sides was about the same. It could even be said that our side had an advantage. In terms of quality, they both
It was a fierce general who took action and brought with him a group of carefully selected soldiers, who must be more powerful than the opponent's ordinary soldiers.
Who would have known that after Liu Baozi and his men rushed out, the other side seemed to see the general appear at first, and he was immediately intimidated, and they immediately dispersed. Liu Baozi and others were also very angry, and stared at those few people.
The man who had his ears cut off was chasing after him. The horses under Liu Baozi and the others were full of physical strength, so their sudden burst of power was definitely stronger than theirs. It was obvious that the distance between the two was rapidly approaching.
However, after chasing for about three to four hundred steps, the chased cavalry suddenly turned around and stood upright from their horses. Then they saw that the long bow in the hand of the leading cavalry actually had a very special shape.
Just like a phoenix flying, as soon as it appeared, it gave people a faint feeling that the vitality of heaven and earth was slowly flowing with this long bow as the core. Then he loosened the bowstring, and there was a burst of energy in the eardrums of people within a hundred feet.
Indescribable severe pain, as if it was about to be torn apart.
This time, Ma Yijian felt astonishing!!!
However, Liu Baozi was also a strong man who had been fighting for many years. He actually pulled the reins hard when the opponent let go. He immediately saw the horse under his crotch make a long hiss, then stood up, and the stream of light shot by the opponent also
Like an arrow, it was blocked by the neck of Liu Baozi's mount, and then flew towards the rear, including the man and the horse.
Seeing this scene, the tense mood of the people in the Tang Dynasty relaxed. At this time, the guards around Liu Baozi were already frightened and angry. They rushed forward with wild screams, picked up Liu Baozi from the ground and went back.
It was only then that they realized that they had been lured by those Northern Qi cavalry to the outside, a full three to four hundred steps away from the main formation.
Needless to say at this time, those Northern Qi cavalry who were pretending to be defeated were already chasing after them on horseback. The most vicious thing was that the archery skills shown by these people before were only partial. At this time, their riding shooting while running at high speed was actually amazing.
It is also amazingly accurate. It can be said that it has reached the level of hitting five out of ten shots.
And what these people were targeting was not humans, but the horses of Liu Baozi and the others who had escaped!!
There is a saying that goes: to shoot the man first, shoot the horse, and to capture the thief first capture the king. The small-scale battle just now perfectly illustrates the definition of this sentence. Originally, the war horse was covered with buffalo leather armor.
At the same time, the vitality of horses is also very strong. Even if they are shot by arrows, they will often run faster because of the severe pain! However, when the Northern Qi cavalry chased them, the horses neighed and fell to the ground one after another, which is enough to show that
Not only are these people proficient in riding and archery, but they also know the weaknesses of horses very well.
Finally, the guards who were protecting Liu Baozi were peeled off layer by layer like bamboo shoots, and fell off their horses one after another. In the end, even the horse carrying Liu Baozi let out a miserable hiss.
, his front hooves softened and he fell to his knees.
The dozen or so personal guards who had fled far away looked at each other with miserable expressions on their faces, then reined in their horses, drew their swords, and charged back. The military discipline of the Middle Tang Dynasty was strict. As personal soldiers and generals, they could usually
It is said that they eat the general's and use the general's. However, once they go into battle, the general dies in front of them, and their fate is also very miserable. At this time, Liu Baozi seems to be in danger, and if they do not bring harm to their family, the best ending is
If you die together with your master, you can still get a large amount of pension.
Of course, the fate of these more than ten personal guards will not be much better than Liu Baozi. At this time, the Zhongtang Army who witnessed this battle can be said to have been completely stunned. What is the background of this group of people in front of them?
It can be said that the interpretation performed by them can only be described as art. Could it be that they are the legendary snake-eating guards??!!
With such a level of cavalry and archery, in the Middle Tang Dynasty, it was estimated that only a dozen or so people could be found among the Imperial Forbidden Army. However, the fifty or so cavalry in front of me seemed to be at the same level as them! How is this?
A monster? If you rush out directly after encountering such an enemy, wouldn't it be like lighting a lantern in the toilet - seeking death?
This time, no one in the Central Tang Army dared to use cavalry to fight tit for tat. Instead, they directly dispatched a phalanx of 400 soldiers to rescue people. However, the soldiers were originally infantry and still wore armor.
Pushing forward with a shield, while maintaining the basic formation, and at the same time carefully dodging possible flying arrows. It is obvious that the arrogance of the Zhongtang Mansion Soldiers before that "I am the best in the world" has been suppressed.
There is no trace left.
From this, we can also deduce the speed of this rescue force. Therefore, when they arrived two to three hundred steps away, they could only sigh at the dead bodies with their ears cut off on the ground. As for
Liu Baozi, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, was already swept away.
***
Half an hour later, Lu Yu was discussing matters with a group of generals in the tent. Suddenly, an attendant came in to report. Because the attendant came directly with a message, several generals present could hear it clearly. Lu Yu
The most admired newly promoted general, Luo Manzi, suddenly jumped up, as if the soles of his feet had been stabbed by a knife. He stared with cow-like eyes and exclaimed:
"What? The group of prairie barbarians brought by General Manager Lin actually captured a deputy general of the Central Tang Army?"
Lu Yu was not too surprised when he heard this. Lin Fengjin had a group of very powerful personal guards recruited from the grassland. Almost all of them were sharp archers. He had known about this for a long time.
These people are all desperadoes. They have nothing to do in their free time and are willing to join the war. However, they do not want military honors. Instead, after killing people, they will cut off the enemy's ears and sell the ears to the munitions office for money. This matter involves
When they arrived at Lin Fengjin, the munitions department even asked Lu Yu about it, mainly because they were afraid of killing good people and taking credit for their merits. However, Lu Yu personally fought with the guards around Lin Fengjin during the battle in Yaocheng.
I have dealt with them before, so I know the character of these people very well, and I am very accurate.
At this time, another attendant came, and he came trotting in, quite panting, and this panting was due to excitement, not physical exertion:
"Your Majesty, I am so happy! The identity of the captured lieutenant general has been confirmed. He is Liu Baozi, a famous general in the Central Tang Army. This man has been a general for generations and is very likely to know some of the military training secrets of the Central Tang Dynasty.
Technique! And it looks like he’s still breathing!”
This time, even Lu Yu stood up all of a sudden, his face suddenly moved!
The palace soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty are actually sword and shield soldiers. Why are they so famous among the five countries? Are the other four countries really so poor that they don’t even have the resources to build a sword and shield soldier? Of course not, because the palace of the Zhongtang Dynasty is so famous.
Soldiers are created using secret military training techniques. This military training secret technique covers a soldier's daily life, living, eating, drinking, and sleeping, as well as how to build a shield, the material ratio of the steel knife held in his hand, etc.
, it seems that they only pay attention to some details, but the sand becomes a tower and the armpits become fur. It is these many details that build up the fame of the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty!
It can be said that the rest of the four countries are naturally trying every possible means to obtain the secret training techniques of the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty. However, the secret techniques obtained are all in pieces, and there is also a lack of false information released by the Zhongtang side.
, even if it is implemented according to the implementation, the effect of the sword and shield soldiers created with great effort is not good.
As the king of a country, Lu Yu of course also coveted the strong combat power of the Central Tang Dynasty soldiers. If the Central Tang Dynasty soldiers could really be restored in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Central Tang Dynasty soldiers would be responsible for both offense and defense, and the Snake-Eating Army would be like Lieyan.
Sweeping through the main attack, it is truly a natural match and can be regarded as the foundation of an emperor.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the importance of Liu Baozi to Lu Yu after he was captured alive. This can be said to be a solid stepping stone for Lu Yu to the emperor's position. Therefore, Lu Yu immediately said:
"Bring me in quickly."
However, the attendant showed a very embarrassed look on his face, and then said with a wry smile:
"Your Majesty, first of all, Liu Baozi was hit by an arrow in the chest. The arrow pierced very deeply and probably affected his internal organs. He is already very weak and dying. Under such circumstances, call him here.
If I ask questions, I probably won’t be able to tell even half a word.”
Lu Yu was also nervous after hearing this, and immediately said loudly:
"This man cannot die! Send me a military doctor immediately."
The attendant's expression became even more difficult, and he smiled bitterly and said:
"This is the second question. This Liu Baozi was caught by the people around Mr. Lin. They shouted that this man was a high official and could not be treated in ordinary ways. At least he had to get three hundred taels of silver.
, I won’t exchange it until there is a foal.”
Lu Yu was extremely angry and laughed back:
"Do you need to ask me about this kind of thing? Are the people in the military supply department just full of shit? They can't make the decision even with three hundred taels of silver? Maybe three thousand taels of silver will kill them."
Why is this attendant:
"It's not about the money, it's about the pony that those prairie barbarians are interested in. It's the blood of Dragon Mane."
Duke Longzhao is none other than Lu Yu, the newly awarded title given to Mr. Ma Hong, the demon horse under his crotch. It is said that in the past two years, this demon horse has suddenly become very lustful for some unknown reason. It seems that the period of estrus has arrived and he has begun to experience good luck.
Mare, once something like this happens, everyone in Yedu will rush to pay "tribute" to Mr. Hong.
In the end, it was a mare from Lu Yu's own stable who was born first, carrying a calf in her belly. She gave birth to three calves three months ago, and they were all alive and kicking. There was not enough mare's milk to drink.
It would take six or seven additional ewes to carry the goat.
These three ponies are full of intelligence, but for some reason, Mr. Red took a look, and then stopped paying attention. Maybe he felt dissatisfied with these three offspring? The three ponies even wanted to go to him.
He leaned forward and immediately bared his teeth and raised his hooves.
But even so, Lu Yu took care of raising these three little ponies. Needless to say, when these three little guys grow up, they will definitely be extremely powerful mounts, probably Lin Fengjin's.
These grassland guards around me are naturally interested in horses, so they have known each other for a long time.
Lu Yu pondered for a while and said:
"Go and see how Liu Baozi's injury is, and then get back to me."
Soon, the attendant reported that Liu Baozi's injury was on his right chest, and it was an arrow wound. The arrow first pierced the neck of Liu Baozi's mount, then penetrated his armor, and finally penetrated into his body.
Inside the chest, the right lung was severely injured, and he kept coughing up blood. However, the medical officer said that because the vital parts that would kill him were not the heart but the brain, the chance of survival was still very high, but there was a lot of chance.
It is very likely that you will be out of breath whenever you move in the future, and it will be basically impossible for you to lead an army in a war.
There are many fierce generals under Lu Yu, and they don't care about such a person. The key is to keep Liu Baozi alive and want to take out the things in his brain. After hearing what the medical officer said, he made a quick decision:
"I changed with these grassland people and told them that I only changed them for the sake of their master."
Since Lu Yu nodded, the deal was concluded very quickly. Therefore, Liu Baozi was quickly treated and was carried to Lu Yu. Although Liu Baozi's eyes were closed at this time,
He closed his eyes tightly, his face turned gray, he seemed to be dying without saying a word. He could no longer be associated with the roaring battlefield, the ferocious and ferocious general, but the armor on his body and the weapons he used betrayed him.
identity.
After meeting Liu Baozi, Lu Yu didn't say much. He just comforted him with a few gentle words, telling him that victory or defeat was a matter of military strategists. He had known his name for a long time, and now he didn't need to think too much about it. He could just rest in peace and recuperate.
Although Liu Baozi didn't speak, his hands tightly clutching the stretcher next to him showed that he was not calm inside, and they were trembling slightly.
After Liu Baozi was carried off, someone immediately stood up to congratulate Lu Yu, because everyone could see at this time that the most worrying situation was that Liu Baozi had a violent and violent personality. After being caught, he became desperate and desperate.
If you get the chance, bite your tongue and commit suicide.
But now it seems that this situation is obviously unlikely to happen. If Liu Baozi really wants to die, he will simply give up treatment. He can use methods such as hitting the wall, biting his tongue, etc.
If he really couldn't do anything, according to the rumors about Liu Baozi, he would probably yell at Lu Yu as soon as they met, and even get violent and hurt others. He would never behave in such a lifeless manner.
There are many reasons for this, but it cannot but be said that it is closely related to the situation that the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty encountered recently. At this time, the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty seemed to be a majestic beast who had fallen into a trap.
The trapped beast, covered in bruises and bruises, kept roaring wildly and helplessly, struggling desperately but in vain.
The soldiers below are okay, but the generals who have a relatively broad vision have already sensed the end of the road ahead. The most terrible thing is that in this situation, the tactics adopted by the opponent are indeed too despicable, or
It is said that it restrained the Zhongtang Army's style of play.
For example, even if there is a sea of swords and fire in front of you, as long as you risk it, you can still risk your life. To put it bluntly, even if the opponent has thousands of troops and you know that you are outmatched, you can still hit it head-on. I
Before you die, you will have to tear off a piece of your bloody flesh in your mouth.
The problem is that the tactics of the Northern Qi Army are extremely shameless at this time. They are wrapped up layer by layer like a spider web. If you advance, they will retreat. It is clear that you cannot outrun those with two legs. If you retreat, they will retreat.
It's so shameless that it sticks to it like brown candy. People with a discerning eye have long seen that this tactic means that the initiative of the war is completely in the hands. When will the war start and where will the war start?
Others have the final say. It can be said that half of this battle is lost before it is fought!
Before, Lu Yu and others still didn't have a deep grasp of the situation at this time. After all, although the battle outside Zuoliu City was a duel, the tyrannical combat power displayed by the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty was equally staggering. Facing the deep ditch and fence,
, there were also two wings of cavalry attacking, and the front was considered to be the regular army of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty formed a large square formation and pushed hard to crush them. No matter how you resisted, it was of no avail. This way
Determined, calm, and domineering, even the elite snake-eating army who always believed that "I am the best in the world" surprisingly did not say anything about defeating him head-on.
