It turns out that the boots of these Han soldiers were all specially made, with a thin layer of steel plates added to the soles of the boots. Don't underestimate these steel plates, they have been repeatedly tempered. The best armors in Liu Wu and Zhou's army cannot compare to these.
The protective ability of the steel plate. The iron caltrops did not hinder the movement of the Han army soldiers, but it made it difficult for Liu Wuzhou's men to move. Many people were directly stabbed in the feet and fell to the ground. Although it was a melee and Liu Wuzhou's army was large in number, in fact
Not much ability to resist.
Long cables were tied to the back of the rafts. The soldiers on the south bank quickly dragged the lightweight rafts back. The second group of soldiers boarded the rafts and rowed hard to the other side.
Wang Xingben knew very well that if the Han army that rushed to the beach could not be eliminated as soon as possible, more Han troops would soon rush to the north bank, and the battle would then be in a stalemate or even a one-sided failure. And to eliminate these Han troops,
To attack the army, they must first eliminate the big man holding a cooked copper stick. Wang Xingben had been in the army for a long time and relied on his martial arts. As soon as he urged his horse to sit down, he rushed towards the big man.
Most of the caltrops on the battlefield had been covered by the corpses of the dead soldiers. Although the movement was still difficult, it was much better than before. Soon, Wang Xingben rushed in front of the big man, held up his long hands, and shouted sternly:
"Go!"
Chang Shan's castration was very fast, mixed with the sound of wind. Unexpectedly, the big man's reaction was not slow, and he swept the cooked copper stick in his hand towards Chang Shan. Hearing the sound of "dang", Wang Xingben only felt numbness in his arms.
Changsha couldn't hold it anymore and flew out. The one who wielded the copper stick was Shi Danai. He succeeded in the blow, but he was willing to give up. He took a step forward and hit the head with the stick. Wang Xingben was hesitating and was caught off guard.
, he had been smashed to pieces by Shi Danai with a stick. He and his horse had already been smashed to pieces.
At this time, the second batch of Han troops rushed to the north bank again, and the Han army became more powerful.
Lu Chongmao's arm was broken by a stone bullet. It was very difficult to swing the long spear with one hand. Seeing that Wang Xingben lost his life in just one round, he felt a little frightened. He turned his horse and wanted to flee towards Taiyuan City. But he saw a general flying away.
He rushed over and threw a horizontal knife from a long way away, hitting Lu Chongmao in the back. Lu Chongmao staggered twice and fell off his horse. The general killed Lu Chongmao, grabbed a long spear, and continued to fight.
Unstoppable.
Both generals were killed, and the Han army was extremely brave. The remaining soldiers were immediately confused and fled back. The Han army who boarded the north bank did not pursue, but only intercepted and killed the enemies around them. Suddenly, there was another sound in the sky.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and a large number of stone bullets fell accurately on their way back. The escaping soldiers were knocked to the ground one after another. Broken limbs and arms could be seen everywhere, and the situation was horrific.
The third batch of Han troops had also landed on the north bank. Liu Ziqiu stood on the beach and shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will not be killed! If you continue to sacrifice your life for Liu Wuzhou, you will die without a burial place!"
He exerted all his strength with this sound. Liu Wuzhou's troops on the beach felt like they had been given a slap in the face. They stood there for a moment, unable to move. When they came to their senses, they realized that they were in a desperate situation. They could not escape or fight.
However, they had no choice but to abandon their swords and guns one after another and wait to be restrained.
Liu Ziqiu also had a benevolent heart, otherwise as long as he sent his troops to kill them, these soldiers would have no hope of survival.
…
Liu Ziqiu's loud shout just now spread far away. Although the sound was loud like a trebuchet, it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone above and below Taiyuan City. Hearing this loud shout, the soldiers and civilians guarding the city naturally
When he realized that his reinforcements had arrived, he couldn't help but burst into cheers, but the morale of the enemy troops attacking the city was greatly dampened.
At this time, Liu Ziqiu had led his army to attack the city of Taiyuan. Liu Wuzhou's troops who were besieging Taiyuan City did not dare to engage the enemy, so they broke up the siege and left. The danger of Taiyuan was resolved. Liu Ziqiu, however, was not in a hurry to enter the city and bypassed the city wall to pursue north.
, slammed into Liu Wuzhou's camp.
It was completely dark, and Liu Wuzhou originally planned to attack Taiyuan City overnight. He did not believe that his 60,000-strong army could not defend a river bank, so he prepared many lamp balls and torches to illuminate the entire camp as bright as day. Unexpectedly, the Han army
They arrived so quickly that they dispersed the attacking troops in the blink of an eye and followed them into the camp.
Camp hijacking and night fighting have always been fixed training subjects for the Han army. The Han soldiers who entered the camp set fire everywhere while charging directly at the Chinese army's tent.
Liu Wuzhou, escorted by Song Jingang, hurriedly left the tent and fled north. Wen Hao pursued him all the way, but was blocked by a general with a long hand.
The general's face could not be seen clearly in the darkness. Wen Hao roared low and waved the long pole he had captured from the river. He went forward and fought with the general. The two horses met and the fight ended.
After more than ten rounds, Wen Hao stabbed it. However, the general gave a sharp shout, stretched out his hand to clamp the long stick that Wen Hao was stabbing, and dragged it hard. Wen Hao only felt a strange force coming from the stick.
Coming over, the tiger's mouth trembled slightly, Chang Shan couldn't hold it long ago, and was snatched away by the opponent.
Speaking of which, Wen Hao was originally a master of knife use. However, in recent years, Liu Ziqiu has vigorously promoted knives in the military. Besides the ceremonial knives, other types of Xihai knives are indeed extremely sharp, comparable to precious knives. Wen Hao has become accustomed to it.
Using the saber, Chang Shu had not been touched for a long time. But no matter what, Chang Shu would not be easily taken away by others. Wen Hao couldn't help being shocked. His horizontal sword had already been thrown out on the beach. In desperation, he had to
He pulled out his protective sword.
When the stick was stabbed, Wen Hao hurriedly used the barrier knife to strike hard. Although the barrier knife was short, its sharpness was no less sharp than the horizontal knife. With this blow, the head of the spear was cut off, leaving only a piece of wood.
Although the lever was pressed against Wen Hao's chest, causing him a dull pain, there was no major damage.
In anger, Wen Hao clutched the bare pole tightly and tried to take it back. However, the general had already abandoned the pole, turned the long pole he had just captured, and stabbed Wen Hao again.
Come on. Wen Hao was struggling to grab the straw, but he didn't watch out for the opponent's sudden release of his grip. His center of gravity was unstable, and he fell off the horse. Fortunately, when he sat down, the horse was very humane and stood up suddenly, barely blocking the opponent's stab.
When it came, blood spurted out, and there were bursts of mourning, and the horse fell to the ground and fell into the dust.
Seeing his beloved mount being assassinated by the opponent for the sake of his savior, Wen Hao was furious. He jumped up and jumped onto the general's horse. Every inch is longer and stronger, and every inch is shorter and dangerous. In close combat, the general's hand
However, the long sword was unable to play any role. Instead, Wen Hao's barrier knife forced him to scramble, and even the silk ribbon that bound the armor was cut. The two people struggled so fiercely on the horse that they both fell off the horse and twisted into each other.
group.
While the two were fighting fiercely, the fighting around them had gradually subsided. Although Liu Wuzhou had many soldiers and horses, they were no match for the well-trained Han army. They were caught off guard again. In addition to Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang led hundreds of cavalry.
In addition to the hasty escape, the remaining people either died or surrendered.
Liu Ziqiu came closer surrounded by a group of guards. By the light of the torch, he could see clearly that the enemy general fighting Wen Hao was none other than Yu Chi Gong. He couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice: "Brother Yu Chi, brother Wen Hao, stop it quickly.
!”
It's just that these two people are in the middle of a fight and are unwilling to let go.
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and ordered: "Drag them away!"
More than a dozen guards swarmed forward, and they spent a lot of effort to separate the two people. Looking at them again, they both had bruises on their noses and swollen faces, their clothes and armor were in tatters, and they were in a miserable state.
Wen Hao said bitterly: "Your Majesty, he killed the last general's horse, and the last general wanted him to die!"
Not to be outdone, Yuchi Gong sneered: "Well, let's fight for another three hundred rounds!"
Liu Ziqiu shouted sternly: "Please calm down, don't you even want to listen to me?"
Wen Hao did not dare to say anything more and stepped aside, but still glared at Yuchi Gong fiercely.
But Yuchi Gong didn't care and said carelessly: "Liu Ziqiu, you and I are our own masters. Why should I listen to you!"
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "Brother Yuchi, this is wrong. What do you mean, everyone has his own master? I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I am the master! I am for the people of the world, but you have to sacrifice your life for Liu Wuyi and the bandits.
, I am so disappointed. Liu Wuzhou will be defeated sooner or later. Brother Yuchi, don’t you hear that good birds choose trees to roost in, and good ministers choose their masters to serve?”
Yuchi Gong gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty treats me so well that I can't bear to abandon him! Liu Ziqiu, for the sake of you and my brother, please leave the body of so and so so that he can still be reincarnated as a human being in the next life."
.”
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand. Someone had already prepared a Mo Dao. Liu Ziqiu raised the Mo Dao in front of Yuchi Gong and said loudly: "My eldest brother made this sword for me. I will always keep it with me. I will never forget you and me."
brotherly love. However, I also want to ask my eldest brother. If I unfortunately fall into his hands, how will he treat me?"
Yuchi Gong thought for a while and said: "I will try my best to leave my brother's body intact!"
"Bold!" Wen Hao had already snatched a horizontal knife from the guard beside him and shouted angrily: "If you dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty, Wen Hao will kill you first!"
"Brother Wenhao, please step aside!" Liu Ziqiu waved his hand, looked at Yuchi Gong closely, and suddenly burst into laughter, "Brother is really straightforward! Come on, lead the horse!"
A guard had led a good horse long ago. This horse was all white, without a single hair on its body. It was tall and majestic. It was a good horse from the Western Regions, rarely seen in the Central Plains. Most people who practice martial arts love horses. When Yuchi Gong saw it,
I fell in love with it. But then I thought about myself as a dying person, and I am afraid that this horse was given to the person with whom I had a fierce battle, and I felt a little disappointed.
But I heard Liu Ziqiu say: "This horse is a treasure obtained from the snow mountain. Does Brother Yuchi still like it?"
Yuchi Gong suppressed his inner excitement and gritted his teeth and said, "Kill him if you want. Don't even think about buying someone off with a horse!"
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "Brother, what are you talking about? Since I am friends with you, how can I harm your life? This horse is given to you, you can go on your own!"
