Luo Xiang held Hao Jin in his arms and held the horse between his legs. Although he was on a raging battlefield, he was teasing Hao Jin in his arms leisurely. Hao Jin was not afraid at all.
With his legs on the horse's back, he danced with indescribable joy. Hao'an, on the other hand, stayed quietly in Xuanji's arms, his expression indescribably honest.
Hearing this, Luo Xiang said nonchalantly: "The decision made by Du Shuai is quite correct. I support Du Shuai's decision. Zong Buhua, don't forget that Du Shuai is now the highest commander on the battlefield. Even if the orders he gives are
He is the master, and he cannot violate it without principle."
Zong Buhua shrank his neck and stopped chewing.
Military orders are like mountains. Since Dugu has issued an order, no one can disobey it without sufficient reasons. But now that Haotian and Luo Xiang Xuanji have no objections, naturally there is no room for him to refute.
Xuanji also nodded and said: "It is absolutely true what Mr. Dugu said. Dugu's move is to put oneself to death and survive again, which is quite clever. In our previous opinion, Mandan soldiers have always been unparalleled in the world. Especially Mandan's
The armored heavy cavalry is an undefeated king who has no rivals in the world. With the same strength, even the elite Mandans led by Cassimbas are unwilling to collide with them head-on. However, the Dujun wants to break this myth today.
.”
Haotian nodded, Dugu is indeed a very clever strategist. One of the main reasons why the Hetao army has conquered the world is its absolute trust in its own ability. However, for the Kasimbas and Mandan who worshiped the capital,
Even the Hetao soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles have to admire them. If they cannot defeat them, then the Hetao soldiers will always feel that there is something pressing on their heads, which may even affect the Hetao soldiers.
The confidence to win.
Even after Hetao recaptured Youyun Sixteen Prefectures and killed hundreds of thousands of elites from the three Northeastern countries, the ordinary soldiers in Hetao were still a little wary of Mandan's armored heavy cavalry. Even the middle and senior generals in the army believed that even
Facing the elite soldiers of Beijing, Hetao was able to defeat the strong with the weak, but facing the heavy Mandan armored cavalry, without an absolute superiority in troops, it was impossible to win.
Therefore, what Dugu is doing now is to break this myth and push the confidence of the Hetao soldiers to its peak. Thirty thousand infantry is only 30,000 infantry, but they are facing Mandan's 50,000 most elite armored heavy cavalry. In terms of military strength,
They were at a disadvantage and did not have an advantage in terms of troops, but Dugu wanted to defeat Mandan under such circumstances.
Thinking of this, Haotian said decisively: "Obide by the orders of the Du Commander. No one is allowed to step into the battlefield until the Du Commander has decided the winner!"
As a result, a very strange phenomenon occurred outside the east gate of Black Rock City. More than 20,000 infantrymen led by Dugu were fighting bloody battles and were already at a disadvantage. However, the 100,000 troops in Hetao stood by and watched, giving people
A feeling of hopelessness. However, Haotian has given the order, so no one dares to disobey it.
Yelu vicissitudes of life personally led the troops, and Mandan invested the entire army without reservation, which immediately made the defense line of Hetao waver like a small boat in the wind and waves.
Dugu also knew that now was the critical moment. If he could not stop the Mandan offensive, he would definitely lose. Haotian had always kept his promise and would not stop the Mandan cavalry from escaping eastward.
Thinking of this, Dugu shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the most critical moment has arrived. The Lord and his comrades are watching us, but unless we all die in battle, they will never step into the battlefield! Who still remembers Jizhou back then?
battle?"
The original Battle of Jizhou was the most dangerous battle during the rise of Hetao, and it was also the most critical battle. It was here that Dugu Yuming and Bian Zhongxing led a makeshift army of 30,000, desperately blocking the famous Mandan generals Yelv Zhaochang and Bai
Jing Shen Ji's surprise attack of nearly 50,000 soldiers. In this battle, Bian Zhongxing lost his left arm, and Dugu lost one of his sworn brothers. In the end, only a thousand or so of the 30,000 soldiers were left. However, their
The battle bought Haotian enough time to finally annihilate all the alien coalition forces in the six states of Hetao.
Hearing Dugu's words, everyone's spirits were lifted. The 30,000 improvised troops that day were able to block the sneak attack of the famous Mandan general Yelu Zhaochang, not to mention that now there are 30,000 soldiers who are the most elite and well-equipped soldiers in Hetao.
"Either persevere to the end and win, or die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather, there is no third choice!" Dugu shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Xiong Chuzhao felt his blood boiling and shouted: "Brothers, let these barbarians outside the Great Wall witness the bravery of our men from the Hetao!"
"Attack!" Dugu Yanling waved his sword and shouted angrily.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. In Dugu's dictionary, only offense is the best defense. As long as there is still the strength to move forward, Dugu will never stop attacking.
"If you don't see me, the army of the Han Dynasty will be over, and the weak and crowned prisoners will be waiting for long tassels; if you don't see me, the squad will be far away, and the light cavalry of the Jueyu will urge the war clouds! A man should be in danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss his life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feathers and feathers are competing to gallop.
There is no stopping! Abandoning my old pen, I keep my war record, calling out more than one hundred thousand comrades, singing war hymns to join the army together. Join the army together, clean up the dust, swear to sweep away the barbarians without caring about their own lives! I can't bear to miss my home.
, I generously expressed my heart to serve my country. I went to the battlefield with a proud smile, and the flag was fluttering. The sun was not shining. I blew my breath into the moon, and I stretched my long arrow to shoot at the wolf..."
I don’t know when, this familiar song sounded in the camp of the Hetao army. It was sparse at first, and was soon covered up by the shouts of killing on the battlefield. But later, it finally merged into a similar song.
Thirty thousand men sang in unison, suppressing the sound of the entire battlefield.
Haotian on the side closed his eyes and looked up to the sky. He did not dare to open his eyes, because once he opened them, tears would stay. Luo Xiang and Xuanji were also choked up. The fifty thousand cavalry of the Huben Legion and all the Fengwu Legion
The soldiers almost simultaneously drew out their sabers and pointed at the sky. This is the most noble understanding among the Hetao army. Only true warriors can enjoy such an honor.
Listening to the majestic songs coming from the Dugu army, Haotian couldn't help but sing loudly. Not only him, but also Luo Xiang Xuanji, Zeng Wujiang, Fu Ruoshui, Wei Wushuang and all the other soldiers.
"Dad, what song is this?" Hao'an asked in a low voice.
"This is the military song of my Chinese son. Only true warriors can sing it." Haotian said slowly.
Yelu Canghai suddenly felt a splitting feeling because he understood that the military spirit and blood of China had truly revived. And such an empire must be the nightmare of all his enemies in the world.
Yelu Vicissitudes never expected that Hetao would choose to take the initiative under such circumstances, and was immediately caught off guard.
The thick shield moved forward slowly but firmly, no matter how many enemies were in front of it, until the shield was smashed and the soldier holding the shield was cut down. The five-foot-long dragon-thorn spear kept thrusting out, and the blood was already stained.
The blood of the dragon-thorn spear was red, but the warriors holding the spear seemed unaware. They followed closely behind their commander. No matter whether there was a mountain of swords or a sea of fire in front of them, they were fearless.
The Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot suddenly burst out of the formation. The dense spears in front and the sharp swords on both sides immediately caused great damage to the attacking Mandan cavalry. The heavy armored soldiers holding long-handled swords on the Wuhan Iron and Steel Chariot were even more majestic.
Every time the Mo Dao was swung, a Mandan cavalry must be cut in two. However, what made the Mandan cavalry even more heartbroken was that two adjacent Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles suddenly threw an iron rope and tied it around each other's legs.
On the car, thousands of Wuhan Iron and Steel cars were linked together, immediately turning into a moving city wall.
Zhou Jilong, who had gone through a long period of practice, could be said to be very comfortable using the Wugang chariot at this time. Thousands of Wugang chariots were like a giant dragon, standing in front of the Mandan cavalry, forming a set of moving walls. In front of the Wugang chariot
The spears at the base blocked the progress of the Mandan cavalry. The iron cable between the two steel carts cut off the possibility of the Mandan cavalry rushing past. The steel knives on both sides seriously threatened the safety of the cavalry and horses.
.
The main reason why the Mandan's armored heavy cavalry is so powerful in combat is that the horses carry heavy loads. Once they charge, their power is extremely huge. However, when their cavalry is forced to slow down or stop completely, although the protection is still the same
It is tough, but its attack power has been reduced a lot. Especially in such an environment, the heavy armored cavalry cannot exert its due combat power at all.
In this way, the cavalry's maneuverability, speed, and resulting power were helpless in front of these moving fortresses. A strange phenomenon occurred. The warriors in front were blocked by the mountains of swords and guns, and they could only kill them in vain.
The knights in the rear had no choice but to turn their horses on one side, with nowhere to use their strength. Behind such an active "city wall", the Hetao soldiers waited for work and gathered in a dense crowd.
The thorn dragon spear kept greeting the Mandan cavalry in front.
The charge of the armored heavy cavalry was finally contained by the unexpected performance of Zhou Jilong's steel chariot. Under Dugu's lead, the 20,000 heavy infantry also took the lead bravely and faced the Mandan iron cavalry without hesitation.
A mountain of swords is worth a thousand layers of blood. When the fighting spirit of the Hetao soldiers was completely inspired by Dugu, the two-foot-long long-handled Mo Dao in their hands finally showed the strength it should have had when the Tang Empire swept across the Great Wall. The shield bearer has already
They were all withdrawn. The Mo Dao soldiers were at the front of the army, followed by the White Tiger Legion soldiers holding dense dragon-thorn spears.
Rows of Mo Swordsmen formed a neat team and walked forward resolutely. On the battlefield, especially in such a frontal fight, the power of heavy weapons was even greater. It was like the long-handled Mo Swordsman in the hands of the Hetao soldiers.
The sword weighs more than sixty kilograms. With one blow, even if the Mandan's armored heavy cavalry is in front of him, both men and horses will be shattered. Even the best and strongest soldiers cannot wield such a sword for too long, so the entire Hetao army
Among them, the number of Mo Daoshou is only 30,000.
Without the acceleration of the war horse, it is not easy for the Mandan cavalry on horseback to wield a forty or fifty kilogram iron spear. Moreover, the attack power is also weakened a lot. But the Mo Dao is different. The sword is a weapon.
The king among them is most suitable for chopping, unlike spear piercing. In such an environment, the long-handled Modao is most suitable for displaying its combat effectiveness.
Advance, keep advancing, until you collapse from exhaustion or die under the opponent's spear. Facing the Hetao infantry whose combat effectiveness suddenly soared by a notch, the Mandan side also went completely crazy. Yelu vicissitudes shouted loudly
Waving the sword in his hand, he rushed towards Mo Daoshou, who was wearing heavy armor. However, the furious King Langxie obviously forgot that the sword in his hand was too short. He had not yet reached the armor of the Hetao infantry.
Two long-handled Mo knives cleaved down as if they were splitting Huashan Mountain, and beheaded the Mandan king who once roamed beyond the Great Wall. Soon, Yelu's vicissitudes of life was trampled into meat paste by the advancing Hetao infantry, so that
Later, when cleaning up the battlefield, Dugu could only judge from the bright sword that Yelu had died on the battlefield.
The vicissitudes of Yelu's death in battle severely damaged the morale of the Mandan soldiers. The Hetao soldiers, under the leadership of Dugu, were unstoppable and their morale continued to erode, although the Mandan's armored heavy cavalry still accounted for a small amount in number.
advantage, but the real balance has begun to tip towards the Loop.
Upon seeing this, Yelu Canglang quickly ordered his soldiers to protect Yelu Canghai as he broke through. Although Hetao had the advantage, they were purely infantry and could not stop the Mandan cavalry from breaking through. However, most of the Mandan cavalry had been captured by Hetao.
After being bitten to death, Yelu Canglang finally only gathered less than 5,000 cavalry.
The loneliness on the battlefield didn't know that Yelu Canglang was protecting Yelu Canghai from escaping, but Haotian who was watching the battle could see it clearly. Luo Xiang had very good eyesight, and he immediately saw Yelu Canglang who was at the forefront of the cavalry.
, suddenly shouted in a long voice: "Yelu Canglang, the battle is not over yet, why did you run away in such a hurry?"
If Yelu Canglang was in normal times, he would definitely have to compete with Luo Xiang, but now he wants to protect Yelv Canghai to break out of the encirclement, so naturally he can't act on impulse.
Luo Xiang laughed and said to Haotian: "My Lord, Yelu Canglang has a bad temper and is very brave, but now he swallows his anger and runs away in a hurry. It is obvious that he is protecting important people and leaving. And the entire Mandan can let
The only one we have eyes for is Yelu Canghai."
Haotian frowned and shouted: "Dan Qiu, Lou Jing, you two immediately lead your cavalry to pursue Yelu Canglang. Even if you catch Bai Jing, you must intercept the people he is protecting."
Danqiu and Lou Jing took the order and left. In the battle just now, although the Huben Army and the Fengwu Army completely wiped out Yelu Minghuang's 50,000 cavalry, the losses were not small. Nearly 20,000 soldiers died in the battle, and most of them were killed.
Most of them were from the Huben Corps. The two armies of Lou Jing and Dan Qiu had the smallest losses among the five cavalry armies of the Huben Corps. Moreover, they had been with Haotian for a long time and were very smart generals. Therefore, Haotian specially assigned this task to
Delivered to them.
After Yelu Cangsang's death and Yelu Canglang's escape, the demoralized Mandan soldiers finally began to collapse mentally when faced with the murderous Hetao infantry. Although they continued to fight, their fighting spirit was lower than at the beginning.
Far worse.
"It's over!" Seeing that Dugu's commanding flag finally penetrated the Mandan heavy cavalry formation, Haotian let out a long sigh and said with emotion.
Xuanji took a deep breath: "The Commander-in-Chief broke a myth and created another one at the same time. Thirty thousand infantry actually wiped out 50,000 armored heavy cavalry. They were able to block the menacing 50,000 most powerful cavalry with infantry on the open plains.
The elite Mandan armored heavy cavalry is the only one in the world. Although I don't know if it is unprecedented, but it is certainly unprecedented."
Luo Xiang continued: "It's not about blocking, it's about defeating and then annihilating."
"From now on, our Hetao army will never be inferior to any other army with the same number, and even one against ten is not an empty talk." Haotian said proudly.
Since the Hetao went south in 621, it has been common for the weak to defeat the strong with a small number of enemies, even when facing the elites of the three Northeastern countries. No matter what the situation is, Haotian dares to fight with his sword. But for Mandan
Hetao's armored heavy cavalry is highly valued from top to bottom, but from now on, Hetao will not be afraid of any army.
Luo Xiang finally calmed down a bit, looked at the extremely proud Haotian, and said with a smile: "My lord, now the outcome has been decided, we can join the battle."
Haotian slapped his head and said with a smile: "Why did I forget this? Trying to reduce the casualties of the soldiers is the main business."
After saying that, Haotian pointed his sword, and the Hetao cavalry who had been waiting impatiently surged out. With a fierce cry of killing, the battle outside the east gate of Black Rock City finally came to an end.
This battle was the most brutal battle in Dugu's life since the Battle of Jizhou. Of the 30,000 heavy infantrymen who participated in the battle, less than 10,000 were left in the end. The infantry commanders Zhou Jilong and Ning Bai were seriously injured, and the twelve guards commanded
The mid-level generals at the level were killed on the spot, and two were seriously injured and died. It can be said that the three heavy infantry corps were temporarily paralyzed. This was because Haotian saw that the victory was decided and led the reinforcements in time. If not for this, 30,000 soldiers would have been able to
The remaining five thousand is a fluke.
"However, this battle was worth it. If it happened again, I would choose this way." When Dugu talked about this battle afterwards, he said with emotion, just thinking about the 20,000 soldiers who died on the battlefield, most of them were in Hetao.
Dugu, a veteran of many battles, was very sad.
After hearing the bloody battle, he patted Dugu on the shoulder with admiration and said: "Commander Du, since ancient times, there is no one who can defeat the armored cavalry with weak infantry and win in battle. He is among the famous generals in China in the future.
, you can kill without me, but you will definitely have a place as the sole commander!"
With the destruction of Yelu Minghuang and the 50,000 Mandan heavy cavalry, the situation in Black Rock City has become quite obvious. Yelu Minghui is only struggling to the death. At the same time, there is also a sound coming from the vicinity of Mifeng City in the south.
