The Mandan cavalry was caught off guard, and thousands of them fell off their horses. The Mandan were still too careless. In their opinion, their armor was not afraid of any bows, arrows and crossbows. But they forgot;
Dugu was born in the White Ear Legion during the Qingfeng Empire. The White Ear Legion at that time was the only legion in the entire Chinese Dynasty that could use infantry to fight against the cavalry outside the Great Wall and had the absolute upper hand.
There were only two rounds of gunfire, because the Mandan cavalry had already approached the front line of Hetao less than 50 meters away. The Mandan soldiers were feeling happy in their hearts. Under the morning sun, there seemed to be many strange objects shining brightly approaching quickly.
"No, it's Hetao's double-edged flying ax!" Yelu Canghai's sharp eyes saw it right away.
However, his reminder was still much too late. The double-edged flying ax that once showed great power in the battle with the northwest nomads once again exerted a huge deterrent force at this time. Thousands of rotating double-edged flying axes shot out of the air.
, the double-edged ax weighing three kilograms rotated rapidly in the air, easily smashing the Mandan soldier's goggles. The rotating ax remained powerful, spinning and hitting the Mandan cavalry next to it.
An excellent ax thrower, when the force in his hand is strong enough and the skill is skilled enough, when the double-sided throwing ax hits a cavalry, he will continue to spin and hit another cavalry. Dugu himself is
A particularly good ax thrower, he once had a record of killing seven enemies with a spinning axe.
When the Mandan cavalry finally escaped the javelins and axes thrown by Hetao and were about to approach the main formation of Hetao, countless horse traps suddenly appeared on the ground. The galloping horses screamed and stepped on the horse traps.
Without exception, the hoofs of the horses were broken, and the soldiers on the horses fell to the ground, and were undoubtedly trampled to pieces by the cavalry behind them.
The Mandan cavalry who rushed to the front of the Hetao army did not feel comfortable. Countless dragon spears up to five feet long protruded from behind the thick shields. They were unable to smash the solid mobile fortress made of shields by the Hetao infantry. Instead,
It was those thousands of dragon-thorn spears that caused them great harm.
Some clever Mandan cavalry soon discovered that the heavy infantry in Hetao was not easy to deal with, so they instead attacked the strange-shaped vehicles in Hetao. However, they soon discovered that this was the source of their pain.
According to legend, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Cart was created by Wei Qing, a famous general in the Han Empire. It was made of solid logs. The outside of the car body was lined with a layer of iron. The car body was two feet long and four feet wide. There were spears tied to the front of the car.
There is a sharp sword on the side. There is a shield on the side of the car body, which can effectively resist the opponent's arrow rain. At that time, Wei Qing led thousands of such Wuhan Iron and Steel cars deep outside the Great Wall, wiping out the evil that had harmed northern China for hundreds of years in one fell swoop.
Hun Empire.
The Mandan cavalry collided with the Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicle, and the steel vehicle was immediately stained with blood. Several armored heavy infantrymen suddenly appeared from each Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicle, holding a giant sword in their hands. The blade was two feet long, and the middle of the blade was slightly thick.
The two sides were open, and it was more than five feet long. With one strike, even the heavily armored Mandan heavy cavalry could be cut in two. This kind of broadsword was the long-handled Modao that was the standard equipment of heavy infantry in the Tang Empire.
At that time, the Mo Dao soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had a decisive battle with the Turkic Empire that dominated the steppes outside the Great Wall. Wherever Mo Dao passed, blood flowed, and the ground was covered with mutilated human and horse meat. At that time, the Mo Dao soldiers were called Xue Shatou.
It means that wherever the Mo Dao soldiers passed by, it was like shaving your head with a bloody knife.
Because the Wugang chariot and the long-handled Modao were expensive to make, they were rarely used during the Qingfeng Empire. The most important thing is that the soldiers who control the Wugang chariot and the Modao soldiers need long-term training. Only those who have experienced hundreds of battles can
Soldiers can only have the courage and ability to use them. Moreover, their greater use is outside the Great Wall. Since the founding of the Qingfeng Empire, only Emperor Wu Lie had swept across the Great Wall. Therefore, the Qingfeng Royal Family and the three major aristocratic families did not.
Equipped with these.
However, the Hetao is different. From the first day it established itself, the Hetao has been at war with the foreign races outside the Great Wall, and pacifying the Great Wall has always been the ambition of the Hetao. This idea is even on the unification of China. Because of this, the Hetao has been preparing for these years.
Regarding the decisive battle with the aliens outside the Great Wall, Dugu's two heavy infantry corps were deployed out of this consideration.
The Mandan cavalry finally approached the Hetao camp, and the final competition still had to come down to the most common confrontation between spears and shields. Both the attacking Mandan side and the defensive Lonely Yuming understood this quite well.
The thick iron spear carried the faint wind and thunder, blowing up whirlwinds towards the infantry defense line standing against the shield and inserting the gun. This was the real beginning of the contest. According to the carbine, the carbine played a thrust and blocking role at the first time, and the several-meter long
The forest of spears can easily pierce the cavalry that rushes forward. The fragile body cannot block such a huge inertial impact. Even if it is wrapped in heavy armor, it cannot avoid such frontal damage. The body hanging on the head of the gun, Yin Hong
The blood gurgled down the gun barrel, dazzling and forming a beautiful landscape.
The efforts of the heavy cavalry were not without reward. The heavy and strong iron spears danced with unparalleled momentum. No heavy infantry could resist this devastating impact with their own bodies. When the iron spears opened and closed, blood and flesh fell.
The rotten body mixed with the broken armor and shields formed the main theme on the edge, just like countless sharp spiral arrows, deeply inserted into the thick infantry phalanx. As the arrows rotated, they continued to move the phalanx.
The main trunk is planed and rotated, but every rotation of iron and blood will stir up echoes. New flesh and blood continue to be added in, like a fortress that will never sink, facing difficulties.
However, on this battlefield of blood and fire, the toughness of the Hetao heavy infantry was further demonstrated. At this moment, the perseverance and high fighting spirit of the Hetao soldiers were fully exerted. Facing the violent and tough Mandan
The heavily armored and heavily armored soldiers in Hetao didn't shout, didn't call, and didn't flinch at all. They faced each other with only endless strength. When the shield was broken, they threw it aside and pulled out their long swords. When the long sword broke, they used it.
His body stubbornly blocked the oncoming Mandan cavalry step by step until he died on the battlefield.
The waves rise a thousand feet high, but the wall remains unchanged.
No matter how powerful the impact of the Mandan's armored cavalry was, no matter how powerful the opponent's sweeping spear was, they just refused to retreat. Just like what Dugu said, the White Tiger Army is a castle that never falls in the wild. One fall.
As he went down, the next one immediately came up, spear and shield, iron and blood, creating a mixture of life, death and sinking on the earth.
Dugu stuck to his promise. Even though this gangster was the leading figure in the entire Chinese continent, he did not break his promise at this time. He always stuck to his position, and the Yan Fei Dao in his hand kept swinging up and down.
, every attack must end with bloodshed. However, the eye-catching flag behind him also triggered a crazy attack from the Mandan side. Countless Mandan cavalry rushed towards him desperately, making the protective
It was extremely difficult for Song Zhong and others to be safe. However, Dugu showed no fear. At this time, no one could make him retreat, and he would never retreat. Even if he died on the battlefield, he would never move.
A flash of despair suddenly appeared in Yelu Canghai's eyes.
Fifty thousand of Mandan's most elite armored heavy cavalry were actually unable to break through the opponent's defense line of only 30,000 soldiers. If it were in normal times, facing the 30,000 heavy infantry in front of him, Yelu Canghai would definitely have many ways to eliminate them. They
Just by relying on the maneuverability of the light cavalry in a spacious open space to attack from many directions, you can defeat this seemingly majestic but extremely low-mobility army.
But now, the opponent has blocked his way forward. On such a vast plain, except for the heavy infantry of the White Tiger Army led by Dugu Yuming himself, I am afraid that only Bian Zhongxing in Hetao can barely block his offensive today.
The cavalry of the Blood Killing Legion may be able to enter the interior of the Mandan and engage in melee, but they cannot become Lianjiang Tiezou. The Xinke's Green Dragon Legion can break through the Mandan's front line, but it is impossible to stop the Mandan.
Fengjing's Falcon Legion could follow, chase, and eat up his own small forces all the way, but they didn't have the ability to eliminate themselves at all. But Dugu did it now, and blocked 50,000 armored heavy cavalry here.
The solid armor and shields allowed them to withstand the charge of the Mandan heavy cavalry, while the mountain-like spears were like sharp daggers inserted into the retreating enemies, taking advantage of the chaos and cutting off the Mandan cavalry team in one fell swoop. Comrades shoulder to shoulder
They firmly resisted the madly coming Mandan cavalry and held their position. The densely packed Wugang chariots in the team also inflicted huge damage to the Mandan cavalry and effectively supported the heavy infantry's attack.
The intensity of the battle exceeded people's imagination, and even far exceeded that of Haotian's personal battle at the south gate of Black Rock City. The balance of the battle tended to be balanced. Under such circumstances, no one dared to predict where the victory would be.
"Canglang, mobilize all the palace guards and all the soldiers. If we cannot defeat Dugu Yuming before Hetao defeats Minghuang's 50,000 cavalry, we will definitely die!" Yelu Cangsang shouted in a deep voice.
On this bloody battlefield, Yelu's warrior blood, which had been dormant for thirty years, finally began to revive. Yelu suddenly felt that this place seemed to be his destination.
"Canglang, no matter what the situation, you must protect Canghai to break through. Canghai, Minghui and Minghuang may not be able to escape. Mingzhuang has few talents and great ambitions, and cannot be reused. The Mandan Dynasty will be handed over to you.
"Don't shirk it, you are the only one in the entire Mandan royal family who has the ability to support the overall situation." Yelu vicissitudes said in a deep voice.
Yelu Canghai burst into tears, but in the end he bit his lip and nodded in agreement. He suddenly understood that Yelu Cangsang was preparing to use his own life to open a path for himself.
"Who among the warriors of Mandan is willing to fight side by side with me!" Yelu vicissitudes shouted loudly.
"Long live my king! Long live my king!" all the Mandan soldiers shouted loudly.
Yelu vicissitudes of life laughed loudly and shouted: "Where is Dugu Yuming? I will fight to the death with you!"
When the civil war in Black Rock City was raging, there was a huge quarrel in Mifeng City. After receiving a letter asking for help from the fake Mandan soldiers under Dugu's command, the defenders in Mifeng City were immediately divided into two groups. One group was led by Yelu Bianhuang and other Mandan soldiers.
Most of them were generals from the Dan royal family. They insisted on implementing the prime minister's proposal and immediately led the army to the north for assistance. Even if things failed, they would take the initiative to contain the troops in Hetao to reduce the pressure on Black Rock City.
On the other hand, Xiao Shicheng and some generals who were relatively calm-minded and had an estranged relationship with the Mandan royal family were keenly aware that leading their troops to attack now would definitely lead to a dead end.
"Xiao Shicheng, we are all generals of the kingdom, and the safety of the kingdom must be our top priority in everything. Don't forget, the prime minister asked you to come to Mifeng in the first place to contain the troops in Hetao to the greatest extent and reduce the pressure on Black Rock City.
"But now Hetao is launching a massive attack on Black Rock City, but you are standing still. What do you mean?" Yelv Bianhuang shouted angrily.
Xiao Shicheng quickly explained: "At least 500,000 elite troops are now concentrated in the Hetao. Once we go north to assist, we will inevitably fall into the siege of the Hetao. The risk is too great. Doing something knowing that it cannot be done is something that a wise man will not do."
"How can there be no risk in marching and fighting? If you don't want to take any risks, you might as well stay at home and take care of yourself." A general sarcastically said. Xiao Shicheng knew this man. He was Yelu Duoheng, a general from a branch of the royal family.
Just as Xiao Shicheng was about to retort, Yelv Bianhuang said coldly: "General Xiao, as a soldier, you should have the consciousness of a soldier. Now the kingdom is in danger, and we should commit suicide to be a benevolent person. If you are afraid of death, then stay and guard Mi Feng City.
Yes. We, the Mandan royal family, are all upright and good men."
Xiao Shicheng was furious, and the veins on his forehead burst, but after thinking about it, he finally endured it. Now is indeed a critical moment of life and death. If he and others are still scheming here, then they will face the brave and fierce Hetao
The only outcome for an army is death.
Xiao Shicheng was not very loyal to this country. He was just a slave. Even though he became one of the most popular generals in Mandan, Yelu Bianhuang and others did not take him seriously. However, Xiao Shicheng was not an ungrateful person. He could have no feelings for this country.
, but cannot feel sorry for the dead Yelu Chixian.
It was this respectable old man who promoted him from a slave-born soldier to a leading general on the side of the army. No matter what trouble happened, the old man would always bear it alone. Of course, Xiao Shicheng himself did not disappoint the old man.
Under the banner of the old man, Xiao Shicheng fought bravely, and together with Leng Fangbu became the pillar of the Mandan generals with foreign surnames.
"Commander, don't worry. As long as I, Xiao Shicheng, am still alive, I will try my best to protect this country for which you have devoted your whole life." Xiao Shicheng said secretly in his heart.
"General Yelv Bianhuang, how many troops are you planning to dispatch to assist?" Xiao Shicheng said as calmly as possible.
Yelv Bianhuang looked at Xiao Shicheng in surprise, thought for a moment and said: "One hundred thousand, if it is less, it will not work at all."
One hundred thousand? Xiao Shicheng made a quick calculation in his mind. In the battle of Jiming Post Road, Mandan lost nearly 40,000 people. Fortunately, there was a lot of strength in Mifeng City, and the infantry quickly restored its size. However, the cavalry who died in the battle could not be replaced in time.
, mainly due to the lack of horses. There are currently only 35,000 cavalry in the city. If Yelu Bianhuang took away 100,000 soldiers, then there would be less than 50,000 infantry and about 100,000 strong men left in the city.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Shicheng said helplessly: "General, if you please, I will stay in Mifeng and wait for the general's good news. However, the general must be careful. Hetao has always been cunning, and all the soldiers under his command have experienced hundreds of battles."
People like you should never take it lightly. If something goes wrong, please return it immediately."
Yelu Bianhuang and others looked at Xiao Shicheng with contempt, and finally left with a cold snort. In their opinion, Xiao Shicheng did not take the initiative to invite Ying to go with him, obviously because he was greedy for life and afraid of death. If not, what reason did he have for not going with him?
.
Soon, under the leadership of Yelu Bianhuang and Yelu Duoheng, one hundred thousand soldiers slowly came out of the gate of Mifeng City, preparing to rush to the aid of Black Stone City.
Yelu Bianhuang was quite conscientious and actually left five thousand cavalry for Xiao Shicheng. Xiao Shicheng didn't know what the other party meant, but five thousand cavalry was already a lot. As long as it was used properly, it could still play a big role.
Standing on the city tower, looking at Yelv Bianhuang who had just left, Xiao Shicheng was full of worry. Yelv Bianhuang and Hetao had fought against each other for many years, and they had suffered repeated defeats. Ever since the Mandan army went south to the river, Yelv Bianhuang had been fighting for many years.
The biggest highlight is that he repeatedly escaped from the killings of the Hetao army.
Xiao Shicheng, Yelu Bianhuang and others had no feelings, but Xiao Shicheng was very emotional about the 100,000 soldiers under their command. If the 100,000 soldiers were used in his own hands and could truly and completely control them, they would at least be able to exert their full potential.
It was a small effect. But in the hands of this pustule, Xiao Shicheng really had no hope.
While he was sighing, a banner suddenly appeared in his field of vision. Xiao Shicheng's pupils suddenly dilated extremely, and his face suddenly turned gray. The soldier looked forward in confusion, and saw that there was a Jiao Yao embroidered on the banner.
The green dragon that wants to fly is actually the Green Dragon Army of Hetao.
To everyone's surprise, the Green Dragon Legion of Hetao did not run all the way, bringing out the lightning speed of the Hetao cavalry. Instead, they walked slowly and leisurely like a walk. Xiao Shicheng, who has good eyesight, could even see the engraved war horses on the side.
Chewing the weeds on the ground as he walked.
The location and time of the letter's appearance were quite precise. It happened to be that all the army at the edge of Yelu had left the city, less than ten miles away. Moreover, the Green Dragon Army happened to be outside the range of the crossbows of the Mandan defenders on the city tower.
Yelu Bianhuang in front obviously also noticed the sudden appearance of the Azure Dragon Legion. Yelu Bianhuang's face, which was still arrogant, suddenly turned pale, and Yelu Duoheng and others even breathed a little quickly.
"Xinke, what are you doing here?" Xiao Shicheng groaned in pain.
The letter was engraved at the bottom of the city. He actually heard Xiao Shicheng's words and couldn't help laughing and said: "Xiao Shicheng, I should also thank you for letting that idiot Yelv Bianhuang lead the army out of the city. Seeing that you are so sensible, I, this commander
I specifically want you to live for two more days."
Xiao Shicheng was also a shrewd man. He immediately understood the meaning of Xin Ke's words. His face changed drastically and he said, "Is that soldier asking for help one of yours?"
Xin Ke laughed and said: "General Xiao has been on the battlefield for a long time, how come he can't see through such a little trick? Of course he is one of our people, otherwise how would I know that the one leading your army out of the city is that idiot Yelv Bianhuang? A general is incompetent.
, the three armies are exhausted. Haha!"
Xin Ke's words were meant to make him angry and drink loudly. Yelv Bianhuang in front could hear clearly, and his face became even more pale.
