Chapter 607: The decisive battle at Caiziba (Part 1)
Xue Sha had a tired look on his face. He casually inserted his butcher's knife into his back and said, "No, it's just that I have used up a lot of strength. Li Tiezhan is indeed well-deserved! I didn't feel that when I fought alongside him before,
I finally met him today, and this guy is really ruthless. Hmm, if I hadn’t been trying to buy time for you, Du Shuai, today, I would have given him a good fight."
Dugu didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Commander Blood, what are the losses?"
"There was not much loss. Li Tiezhan wanted to have a decisive battle with me. But I felt that today's feng shui was not very good, so I let him go. Hey, the Li family only paid the price of more than 4,000 cavalry and ate me alive.
Three thousand troops. Except for Cassimbas, I have never suffered such a loss in so many years!"
"Among the 70,000 cavalry led by Li Tiezhan, 50,000 are from the Red Eyebrow Regiment. This is the head corps of the Li family, and they are all Li Tiezhan's own old subordinates. Needless to say, their combat effectiveness is strong. Besides, we are in
Fighting on the land of Qinchuan, the soldiers of Qinchuan performed abnormally, which is completely normal." Dugu said with a smile.
Xue Sha nodded and sighed: "If the Qinchuan soldiers had such fighting will when they fought against the Holy Sect of Paradise and the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, they wouldn't have been huddled here for so many years. But today, he really let
Taking advantage, if it weren't for the heavy responsibility, I would be able to use up at least half of his 70,000 cavalry if I slowly wear it down."
Dugu nodded absently in agreement. The cavalry of the Blood Killing Legion are all veterans of hundreds of battles, and the Qinchuan soldiers cannot compare with Hetao in terms of individual combat capabilities. However, after all, Li Tiezhan has the advantage in troops, and looking at the Blood Killing
Look, it's obvious that he has been taking on post-breaking tasks, otherwise he would never be so tired.
The bloody killing was suddenly a bit unexpected, and Dugu's dazed expression made him feel strange. In his impression, Dugu always looked like a gangster and was helpless, but he was resolute and decisive in his heart. There were not many things that could make him melancholy.
"To be fair, Commander Xue, although I have been in Hetao for so many years, I was still the deputy commander of the White Ear Corps back then. Almost all of my old comrades-in-arms at that time were dead, but after all, this is something that I have devoted a lot of effort to and worked for.
A proud legion. To be honest, although my old club is hated in many aspects, he is still good to me." Dugu said.
Zhou Jilong suddenly strode forward, walked to Dugu's side, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, have you forgotten what they did to us later?"
Dugu shook his head. That day, Dugu resolutely left the White Ear Army and stayed in Hetao to fight against the six tribes outside the Great Wall. He had already broken up with the Song family. Later, when Hetao rose up, for the sake of Haotian, the Song family once included Dugu in the Yizhou village.
Many of the women and children were sent to Hetao. But the Song family kept the rest secretly in order to use it to blackmail Dugu and others in the future.
Later, the Song family joined the coalition forces and went out to worship the flag. Song Zhengfeng felt that there was no chance of turning around in Hetao this time. He also thought of the waste that was still consuming his own food in the prison, so he simply dragged them all out to sacrifice to heaven. Zhou Jilong's mother was
One of them. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Jilong and others are at odds with the Song family.
"I have definitely not forgotten it. However, after all, the White-Ear Army was the army we put a lot of effort into, and it was the pride of our Yizhou village at the time. But now I still feel a little unhappy when I think of having to destroy it myself.
"
Xue Sha wanted to liven up the atmosphere, and then he laughed and said: "Dushuai, now our two hundred thousand troops are being suppressed by your old employer, and our situation is quite critical. You are actually thinking of annihilating them, aren't you too arrogant?
It's over!" Perhaps after resting for a while, his physical strength had recovered to some extent, Xue Sha picked up the butcher's knife from behind and waved it hard twice.
Hearing what Xue Sha said, Dugu felt a little depressed, but he still grinned: "Xue Commander, let alone the 300,000 coalition troops in front of us, it is 400,000 and 500,000. In front of the two of us, we are still
They are just local chickens and dogs. I am not boasting, but only one White Tiger Legion can defeat the Song family's 200,000 troops including the White Ear Legion. What's more, the military advisor and Mr. have already made plans! He just asked him to fight
Just the first move."
At this moment, the rumbling drums suddenly sounded, and Dugu and Xuesha looked at each other and smiled: "Haha, I didn't expect that for so many years in Hetao, we have been actively provoked by others! In this case, let's take Li Tiezhan and
Song Zhengfeng is weighing our Hetao!"
Since Song Zhengfeng and Li Tiezhan decided to strike first, they naturally would not give Hetao too much preparation time. The two armies of Hetao Blood Killing White Tiger had just gathered together, and the armies of Li Tiezhan and Song Zhengfeng had almost reached the front of the formation. The two armies met.
The brave prevails, everyone present understands this truth. Just when the war drums of both sides were beating at the same time, the 30,000 cavalry led by Xue Sha and the Qinchuan cavalry led by Li Tiezhan rushed out of the king's camp almost at the same time and started fighting each other.
In terms of troop strength, Li Tiezhan is twice as strong as Hetao. But when it comes to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, even Li Tiezhan himself does not think that the cavalry of the Red Eyebrow Corps can be compared with the Hetao cavalry. In the past few years, Hetao has not received enough rest time.
In particular, several main armies are in a state of long-term combat. If it is an ordinary army, even if it is not wiped out by the enemy, in such a high-intensity and long-term battle, the spirit will inevitably be particularly exhausted. Maybe one day we will fight.
As soon as I hit it, it suddenly collapsed.
However, no matter how difficult and dangerous the environment was, Hetao persisted and eventually forged an invincible iron army. The Qinchuan Cavalry, even including the battle with the Holy Sect of Paradise, had only a handful of real battlefield experience.
Especially the Red Eyebrow Regiment, which more often serves as a deterrent. During the journey north to Hetao, Li Tiezhan clearly discovered that the Qinchuan cavalry was lacking in both combat effectiveness and fighting will compared with the Hetao soldiers.
Therefore, even if he faced only 30,000 cavalry who were killed in bloody battles, Li Tiezhan still did not dare to be careless.
Since there is no need to worry about the safety of the infantry, the bloody killing this time is not just to intercept the Qinchuan cavalry's advance. Under his leadership, the 30,000 cavalry galloped left and right, giving full play to the high degree of tacit understanding and skill of the Hetao cavalry.
His riding skills, depending on the changes in the battlefield, he would attack by force, sneak attack, drill through or lure, and he was able to defeat 70,000 Qinchuan cavalrymen in a daze.
"The whole army is on alert! Be alert and don't let the Hetao cavalry take advantage of the opportunity! Everyone must guard their positions and do not leave the formation at will!" Li Tiezhan shouted angrily: "Except for the 20,000 cavalry led by this commander personally, the other five thousand cavalry
The team splits up vertically and attacks together, relying on the superiority of troops to kill the opponent!"
After all, Li Tiezhan was a famous general in Qinchuan. He saw through the tactics of bloodshed at a glance and made the most correct judgment in the shortest time. However, if a correct order is to be implemented, it requires the cooperation of all the soldiers.
If what Li Tiezhan said is true, then the activity space of the Hetao cavalry will inevitably be greatly restricted. However, in this case, the requirements for the soldiers' psychological quality and personal horse control ability are quite high.
The cavalry of the Red Eyebrow Legion is okay. After all, they are Qinchuan's ace legion. Both in terms of combat effectiveness and combat skills, Qinchuan soldiers are highly regarded. However, the 20,000 cavalry transferred from Li Wucheng are far behind, especially
During the change of formation, the horses neighed and shouted, causing indescribable panic.
Li Tiezhan was furious. Among the second generation generals of Qinchuan, whether it was Li Fengcheng of the Navy, Li Bicheng of the infantry, Li Fangcheng, etc., they were all rare young people who were eager to look forward to it. However, these new generation generals who are capable are basically
All of them had died on the battlefield, and the veterans of his generation were gradually withering away. Therefore, Li Wucheng, an unremarkable general who could only be said to be quite satisfactory, began to emerge. However, the limited ability ultimately restricted the development of his soldiers.
The 20,000 cavalry mobilized should have no problem fighting on the battlefield, but on such a battlefield where skill and coordination are relatively high, it seems to be lacking a lot.
Li Tiezhan discovered this loophole in Qinchuan's soldiers, and it was impossible for Xue Sha to not notice it. More than 30,000 cavalrymen, led by Xue Sha, forcibly broke through the defense line of Qinchuan's cavalry of 10,000 cavalry, and used their inertia to kill these two
In front of Ten Thousand Cavalry, a barrage of arrows first shot out, making the opponent's camp even more chaotic, and then they took advantage of the situation and charged, crushing everything that stood in front of them.
When Li Tiezhan's 20,000 direct cavalry finally rushed in, Xue Sha had already led the Hetao cavalry to rush out, and then launched a fierce attack in the other direction. Under Li Tiezhan's strict orders, the Qinchuan cavalry adhered to their own defense line.
They didn't dare to move. As a result, the Qinchuan cavalry, whose unit was the Ten Thousand Cavalry Team, was unable to contend head-on with the cunning and ferocious Xuesha attack. The friendly troops next to them wanted to support them, but with a wave of the Xuesha pig-killing knife, Wu Shuang
Zhi and Ananda Wangmei had each led five thousand cavalry to block the attacks from both sides, while Han Qi followed the bloody footsteps and continued to ravage the Qinchuan cavalry's defense line.
Although he was among the rebels, Dugu was still very concerned about the performance of Xue Sha, and couldn't help but praise loudly: "Xue Commander is really superb in commanding the cavalry, and he deserves to be one of our five great generals in Hetao.
I just don’t know how the Blood Commander compares with the Feng Commander and the Xin Commander."
Zhu Shitan looked with admiration at the 30,000 Hetao cavalry galloping among the 70,000 Qinchuan cavalry. He was an old subordinate of the Blood Killer, but when the Blood Killer Corps was formed, he was assigned to the infantry. Regarding this,
, Zhu Shitan didn't have any objections. As long as he could go into battle to kill the enemy, it would be the same even if he was asked to be a logistics soldier. However, looking at the glory of Xue Sha, Wu Shuangzhi and others, he was still a little envious. This is how good men should be.
Fighting on the battlefield, even if you die in battle and die for your country, is a hundred times better than dying of old age and death in a hospital bed.
Each attack of Blood Kill focused on local strength advantages, and each entry point was also the weak area of Qinchuan Cavalry. Li Tiezhan had twice the number of troops under his command, but the quality of the soldiers could not be compared with that of Hetao Cavalry, and he could not identify the bleeding
The attack route and direction of the attack are so powerful that it feels like it has nowhere to go.
"Famous general of Qinchuan, I will let you truly understand today what kind of general can be worthy of the title of famous general!" Xue Sha sneered and said with a flip of the butcher's knife, the head of a Qinchuan cavalryman was gone.
Fly with wings.
Thanks to the Zhenshan under his command, the Qinchuan cavalry would cause chaos wherever the bloody butcher knife struck. After all, Zhenshan's deterrent effect on war horses was unparalleled. And the cavalry on top of the war horses saw this
Their heads and whole bodies were covered in blood, and there was a piece of tiger they didn't know where in the body they were holding in their mouths. They were also covered in hair. They were not afraid of dying in battle, but the thought of being bitten to death by this tiger made them extremely frightened.
"Zhenshan, don't you think your life has been boring the past few days? Come on, let me kill you to your heart's content today!" Xue Sha shouted loudly with blood on his face.
"Roar!" Zhenshan let out a tiger roar, his legs suddenly stood upright, and his two front paws drew out like lightning, directly tearing apart a Qinchuan soldier in front of him, including his body and his horse. Perhaps he felt the pain coming from his master.
With a strong fighting spirit, Zhenshan was also excited and could not control himself. During the collision and fighting, the power of the king of beasts was fully exposed.
But even so, Li Tiezhan still admires Li Tiezhan for being bloody. Since the Hetao cavalry started fighting against the top nomadic cavalry in the Eastern Continent and the armored heavy cavalry of the three Northeastern countries, their starting point was very high. In addition, the Hetao cavalry flowed in the bones of the Hetao.
Arrogant, so when the Hetao cavalry faced off in a head-on battle, even an undefeated general like Cassimbas still did not dare to take it lightly. Li Tiezhan's ability to maintain the integrity of the formation and high morale under such a bloody offensive was beyond expectations.
The expectation of bloodshed.
In the impression of bloody killing, there seemed to be only a limited number of people who could achieve such a level, such as Yao Jinxi who worshiped the capital. The number one general in Qinchuan was indeed well-deserved.
As for the value of bloodshed, Li Tiezhan's current mood can only be described in four words, that is, he can't bear it.
Blood Kill's style of leading troops is different from that of Xin Ke, who is also one of the five great generals in Hetao. If Xin Ke focuses on winning with strength, and Feng Jing focuses on winning with skill, then Blood Kill should focus on using wisdom.
Victory. In the process of charging and killing, bloody killings often lured the Qinchuan cavalry to rush towards the Hetao infantry main formation.
At the beginning, Li Tiezhan was still secretly happy. If the Hetao cavalry rushed back to the main formation, it would definitely cause some chaos, and the Qinchuan cavalry just expanded this chaos, and then collapsed the Hetao infantry formation.
However, there is always a big gap between imagination and reality. When the Hetao cavalry rushed back to the infantry formation, the infantry commanded by Dugu himself did not have the slightest confusion at all. Under the command of the flag soldiers, all the infantry followed the usual training steps, with only a few steps.
With a simple movement, countless passages half a foot wide were revealed in the infantry formation. The Hetao cavalry passed through here almost without slowing down. The Qinchuan cavalry did not expect that the other party's cooperation was so tacit.
, with no time to slow down or turn their horses around in this situation, they rushed towards the infantry formation in Hetao almost unprepared, and then added another glorious achievement to Dugu's record.
Soon, under the command of Xue Sha, the 30,000 cavalry gathered together again and charged back against the Qinchuan cavalry that had just caused a certain amount of chaos.
What pains Li Tiezhan the most is that the Hetao cavalry always tries every possible means to lure the Qinchuan cavalry to approach the formation of the Hetao infantry. As soon as they approach here, thousands of arrows are fired from the Hetao. Due to long-term battles with the top cavalry outside the Great Wall,
Through daily hard training, the infantry in Hetao have long mastered how to fire arrows among the chaos without accidentally injuring their own soldiers. This is one of the most basic skills in training for the Hetao army, but even in
In the Qingfeng Empire ten years ago, only a few elite troops and famous generals could use this move skillfully. But even so, there was no guarantee that they would not accidentally hurt their own side. The Qinchuan cavalry never expected that Hetao's basic skills were so solid.
, so they suffered a lot. All in all, at least five thousand cavalry fell to the arrows of the Hetao infantry.
In the battle formation, Dugu sneered, and then turned his head to the front of the battlefield. If Li Tiezhan could go back alive today, he should have a few more incense sticks. If his military strength and bloodshed were equal, then the war might not have started yet.
How long did it take for them to be killed by blood? If Song Zhengfeng was not leading the 200,000 troops and Li Wucheng's 30,000 infantry to desperately attack the Hetao infantry defense line, and the Hetao infantry could not effectively support the blood killing, then the Hetao would have become
Dacheng's combined infantry and cavalry killing tactics were completely sufficient to hang Li Tiezhan alive.
Xiong Chuzhao ran up to Dugu in a hurry, nodded and bowed and said: "Commander, those bumpkins from Yizhou attacked quite fiercely!"
Dugu naturally understood what Xiong Chuzhao wanted to say, but these words made him really unhappy, so he whipped his horsewhip towards Xiong Chuzhao: "Bastard, what are you talking about those bumpkins from Yizhou? Are you trying to argue with me on purpose?
No?"
Zhou Jilong, Song Zhong and others around him also glared at Xiong Chuzhao. Xiong Chuzhao didn't know why, so Ning Bai quickly pulled him, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Commander, Brother Zhou, Old Xiong is just a rough guy.
People don’t understand anything, so just think he was farting just now. What he means is that Song Zhengfeng and his son seem to be quite energetic, and there is no other meaning."
Only then did Xiong Chuzhao remember that Dugu himself was from Yizhou, Yizhou, and was one of the famous bandit leaders in the entire Qingfeng Empire at that time. Later, the village was recruited by the Song family, and Dugu himself took a group of his brothers and joined Bai'er.
Legion, and was eventually promoted to the position of deputy commander. Although Dugu and others no longer have any feelings for the Song family in Yizhou, they are Yizhou people after all. Thinking of this, Xiong Chuzhao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. How many times would Du Shuai slap him?
A whip, that's nothing, since I have thick skin and thick flesh anyway. However, if Du Shuai keeps letting himself stay behind to blow the northwest wind, then life will really be worse than death.
