The road to the east was not only bumpy, but also extremely dangerous. Zhang Huayang and Dekang Baoqi were both very smart generals. They quickly judged Li Xiao's direction of action from his actions. The two armies did not hesitate.
He leaned towards Wuzhou. If Li Xiao wanted to go to Youyun Sixteenth State, he would have to pass through the two people's defense zone.
Before reaching the junction of Shazhou and Wuzhou, Li Xiao encountered Dongbo's ten thousand troops. Li Xiao and Jiao Zhongxin could be said to be non-stop, attacking through the opponent's formation almost like a gust of wind. They were the vanguard.
Naturally, it was Jiao Zhongxin and others. With sufficient physical strength and strong internal force, Jiao Zhongxin almost took the lead and smashed Dongbo's defense line with one shot.
The iron cavalry is the most domineering martial arts among the ten wonders of ancient times. Its lethality and destructive power are unparalleled in the world. Especially on the battlefield, it is known as invincible. Although what Jiao Zhongxin obtained was only a fragment, but with just
With the power of this fragment, he still ranks among the top ten masters in China. However, Jiao Zhongxin also doesn’t know the complete mental method of Iron Cavalry Hengliu. He only knows that there should be a complete mental method record in Tianji Valley. But he doesn’t
What we know is that layman Yingwu later gave the idea of cavalry and crossflow to Fengjing in accordance with layman Guitian's last wish, and then it was carried forward in the hands of Fengjing's youngest son, becoming the well-deserved overlord of the Chinese continent decades later.
However, Li Xiao also noticed something. The horses he planned to use as death squads had all been scrapped in the collision with the Eastern Japanese Army. Although at least a thousand people were killed in the Eastern Japanese Army, dozens of heroes from the Shenzhou Martial League were also unfortunate.
Fall off the horse.
This is the first line of defense, and there are many more behind it. The further you get to the back, the more difficult the situation becomes.
From sunrise to noon, Li Xiao had broken through the opponent's six lines of defense. Among them, the first five lines were the Eastern Japanese Army, and the sixth line were the Huai River soldiers. When facing the Huai River soldiers, Li Xiao always had a certain
An indescribable sadness. Apart from the Bloody Plateau, Huaishui is Hetao's best friend. The two armies have spent quite a lot of time fighting together, and the senior generals on both sides are familiar with each other. But I didn't expect that the friends who were originally on good terms would eventually become
But it was a fight on the battlefield.
Another line of defense was broken through. This place is only about thirty miles away from the capital of Wuzhou. Zhang Huayang deployed a total of 20,000 infantry here. In order to break through this line of defense, Li Xiao and Jiao Zhongxin paid an extremely heavy price. Ji Qing's 500 Xuanyuan
There were less than 300 people left in the Guards, while Jiao Zhongxin's Shenzhou Martial League only had more than 200 people left, and even Snake Beggar Pusi died in the rebellion.
"Take a rest! A quarter of an hour, we only have a quarter of an hour." After breaking through the line of defense, Li Xiao gasped and said, he was shot in the left rib. Fortunately, he was unlucky and escaped the critical point.
However, if you exert too much force, you will still be in pain and break into a cold sweat.
Jiao Zhongxin also gritted his teeth and said: "There should be 20,000 cavalrymen from Huai River below. We are now short of men and horses, and our troops are weak. We only have one chance. Moreover, it is impossible for all of us to rush out." He was also injured just now.
, but he has deep internal strength and can still support it.
Li Xiao and others knew that what Jiao Zhongxin said was the truth. Although the Zhang family of Huaishui ranked last among the three major families, Huaishui had experienced so many years of war, and the army had become somewhat stronger after repeated battles.
The appearance of an elite division.
Xiao Du opened his mouth and said: "This is our last blow, and it is also the last round of interception by the opponent. As long as we can rush through here, the opponent will no longer be able to stop us. In my opinion, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Princess together with the two princes will
In the middle, we protect the surroundings and charge in a triangle shape. The leader of the alliance, Mrauk U Town people, General Li, and this little brother, we have the best martial arts, so we charge at the front."
The people from Mrauk U Town also nodded and said: "There can be no hesitation. As long as Her Royal Highness and the princess are not left behind, no matter who is left behind, we must not stop."
Jiao Zhongxin thought for a moment and opened his mouth: "General Li, when the time comes for you to be at the apex of the triangle and fight on the battlefield, personal martial arts does not represent everything. You are the only one among us who can make correct commands. Don't worry, I will
He and Xiao will be on both sides of you to protect your safety. Your mission is to make the right choice."
Li Xiao did not delay. He knew his responsibilities better than Jiao Zhongxin and others. After flashing his weapon, Li Xiao nodded to Jiao Zhongxin and others, then turned over and mounted his horse.
At the end of the sky, the banner of the Huaishui Zhang family has vaguely appeared. Li Xiao, Xin Jiao and others raised their weapons at the same time. The long swords of Xin Jiao and Fu Ruoshui had already been broken in the fierce battle, and now they held
What they were holding were two thick-backed broadswords that they grabbed from somewhere. Xin Jiao and the two no longer looked like fairies in their usual white clothes. The bright red blood had already dyed their armors red, and even the clothes in their arms were stained red.
Both Hao and Jin brothers were stained red.
"Ruoshui, you are in the middle." Xin Jiao said to Fu Ruoshui, and then gave her his position.
Fu Ruoshui smiled apologetically, but he leaned in honestly. After easily defeating Xian Lianchen and others, Fu Ruoshui knew that he was qualified to compete with the top ten masters in China. However, after all, Xin Jiao
He is the top master in the world today, second only to Yingwu Jushi and Luo Xiang. Others may not understand what the concept of being third in the world is, but Fu Ruoshui is very clear about Xin Jiao's true weight. From yesterday's breakout to now, Xin Jiao has no
Showing the slightest hint of fatigue. During the breakout period, Xin Jiao has always been the sharpest blade among everyone. However, Xin Jiao's injuries have exceeded everyone's imagination. Of course, this is not her strength.
No, it was because she was at the forefront of the team and was under too much pressure.
"Xin Jiao, can you still hold on?" Fu Ruoshui asked worriedly.
Xin Jiao smiled slightly: "I should have died a long time ago. However, I must not die before the Hao'an brothers are safely handed over to the lord!"
"kill!"
Li Xiao fired a spear and rushed out first. Where the smoke was billowing, iron and blood collided again!
Zhang Huayang was obviously prepared. Before Li Xiao and the others could get close, arrows rained down suddenly. Li Xiao and the others were already familiar with each other's movements. They leaned down to avoid the opponent's arrows, and quickly pinched their crotch.
They rushed towards the Huaishui cavalry on the opposite side. However, more than a dozen unlucky warriors were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
Although Zhang Huayang had long estimated that the impact of the Hetao cavalry must be extraordinary, he never expected that it would be so powerful. It was like a big hammer hitting an iron plate. Although it failed to penetrate it, it was dented.
A big chunk went in.
As soon as the cavalry from both sides came into contact, Li Xiao obviously found that there was a certain gap between the combat effectiveness of the Huaishui cavalry and the Qinchuan cavalry. Among the three major families, the cavalry of the Qinchuan Li family, the infantry of the Yizhou Song family, and the Huaishui Zhang family's cavalry
Navy, this is the specialty of the three families. Zhang Jiaruo said that if the infantry is in the southeast, especially in the Jiangnan Great Lakes with dense river networks, its combat effectiveness can even reach a level comparable to that of the Hetao infantry. However, cavalry is not their specialty.
.
Of course, many ants will kill an elephant, and the Huaishui cavalry are not ants. Zhang Huayang was shocked and quickly adjusted the formation of the team, using the thickest square formation to bear the impact of the Hetao cavalry.
Li Xiao rushed into the Huai River camp without any hesitation. The spear in his hand was almost bloody. At this time, what Li Xiao was most concerned about was not how many people he had killed, but what the opponent's weak point was.
Where. As a qualified general, his main task is to lead the entire army to victory. As for personal bravery, if it cannot reach the level of bravery like Xin Ke or Blood Kill, it is better to use more brains.
There was not much time for the Huai River cavalry battle, so their cavalry had considerable problems with both the tacit understanding between the warriors and the cooperation between people. Li Xiao fully developed his self-respecting style
, that is, taking the light cavalry's elegance and flexibility to its extreme. And the more critical the moment, the calmer he becomes.
The disciples of the Shenzhou Martial League were constantly falling off their horses in the continuous sprint. In terms of individual combat capabilities, the disciples of the Shenzhou Martial League were almost the same as Ji Qing's Xuanyuan Guards, but the cooperation between them was really poor.
Moreover, their moves were too gorgeous and they suffered a lot in battlefield battles. It is precisely because of this that their casualty rate was much higher than that of the Xuanyuan Guards.
The Xuanyuan Guards were originally personal guards specially trained by Luo Xiang for Haotian and Tianyi. Considering that Haotian often went to the battlefield to fight in person, these people not only have excellent personal martial arts, but also pay more attention to group combat and coordination skills. The most important thing is that
, their mission is quite simple, which is to use their bodies and lives to protect the safety of Tianyi and others when necessary. Since the Battle of Hukou, they have almost eaten and lived together, received training from Luo Xiang, and worked together.
Growing up, the telepathy and tacit understanding between them has exceeded that of ordinary armies. They are comrades-in-arms, brothers who share life and death.
If you want to get to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, you must pass through this official road. And Zhang Huayang's lineup is quite thick, even several miles deep. He makes great efforts, then fails again, and then exhausts himself. If Li Xiao follows the rules of Jianghu people,
If they faced each other head-on without evading the rules, the entire army would have been wiped out before they had even broken through halfway. Fortunately, even among thousands of troops, Li Xiao still calmly observed the weaknesses of his opponent and learned from the opponent's formation.
Look for loopholes in the enemy's territory. Use strength to attack weakness, concentrate forces to create local strength advantages, and use cleverness to overcome the opponent's loopholes and the resulting chaos to save your own physical strength to the greatest extent.
As he continued to advance, the soldiers behind him continued to die in battle. Li Xiao could clearly feel that the sense of oppression around him was increasing. It was obvious that many soldiers had died in battle, and he could not guarantee the safety of his flanks. However, Li Xiao never received any pressure from the enemy.
Any attack from the flanks, it was obvious that Jiao Zhongxin and Xiao Du had completely protected him. However, when Li Xiao sprinted towards the Huaishui Cavalry's abdomen, he only felt a coldness in his left arm, and then a heart-piercing pain.
Pain came from the ribs, and it was obvious that the original wound on the left rib had been stabbed again. Looking sideways, Xiao Du's figure had disappeared, leaving only an empty-saddled horse still running.
Xin Jiao scolded, and slapped Xiao Du's horse on the butt with the thick-backed sword in his hand, driving it away as a human shield, while he clamped his legs to fill Xiao Du's position. Xin Jiao's martial arts
His academic achievements were still above Jiao Zhongxin's, and with her here to protect him, Li Xiao's pressure was immediately relieved a lot.
"Li Xiao, please slow down and let Ji Qing and the Guards rush in front!" Xin Jiao suddenly said.
Although Li Xiao didn't know what he meant, he still obeyed and slowed down his horse. Xin Jiao was the least noticeable among Haotian's wives, but she was also the one who was favored by Haotian the most besides God's will.
.Perhaps she did not have much profound attainments in the military, but she was absolutely sincere to Haotian, so she also had a high prestige in the military. Li Xiao almost acted out of a conditioned reflex at that time.
Ji Qing's Guards quickly rushed to the front. Relying on the tacit understanding they had developed over the years, the combat effectiveness of the Xuanyuan Guards was even greater than that of the iron triangle of Li Xiao, Jiao Zhongxin and Xin Jiao.
Li Xiao glanced at Xin Jiao, who had a serious face next to him, and suddenly understood what she was thinking. Although the Xuanyuan Guards were brave, they could not sustain such a high-intensity battle for too long. Xin Jiao was just trying to mend the wounds.
Although the breakthrough speed is temporarily increased, it is consuming one's own continuous combat effectiveness.
"Mother, she is buying time!" Although Li Xiao is also a battle-hardened soldier, he has to admire Xin Jiao's decisiveness at this time. She completely gave up her escape route to the Huaishui cavalry, leaving all
All the soldiers at the rear were placed at the front, letting them charge into the battle, while he took the opportunity to maintain his strength. If Li Xiao himself still had the intention of leading as many soldiers as possible to break out of the siege, then Xin Jiao's purpose was just
One, she and Fu Ruoshui must rush out. Except for the two of them, anyone else can be sacrificed here, including Ji Qing and Li Xiao themselves.
Xin Jiao's strategic plan was obviously successful. Under the leadership of the Xuanyuan Guards and the Shenzhou Martial Alliance soldiers, the attack speed of Hetao was obviously accelerated a lot. However, in this way, Xin Jiao and others, who were originally at the forefront of the team,
Now it has become the last. Compared with Jiao Zhongxin, Li Xiao and others, they can be regarded as a new force. However, their consumption is also quite serious. Soon there are only four disciples of the Shenzhou Martial League left, led by Jiao Zhongxin.
With fifty backbones, Ji Qing's Xuanyuan Guards only had less than two hundred people left.
However, looking from a distance, the Zhang family's strategic depth is at least one mile.
"Ji Qing, hungry wolves are hunting sheep! It depends on this time!" Li Xiao shouted loudly.
