Without further urging from the generals, the cavalry below headed towards Jicheng as quickly as possible. By chance, they met a Jizhou army coming for reinforcements. What was not said was one word - fight!
It is not accurate to say that it was a fight. After the two sides encountered each other, they pursued each other in a one-sided situation. The cavalry had such an advantage over the infantry that the pursuit lasted for dozens of miles and killed three thousand Jizhou troops in a row.
There were many people, and there was no decent resistance. Then rows of tanks appeared in front of them, and sky-blasting cannons appeared behind the tanks.
The moment the cannon sounded, it caused panic among the 30,000 cavalry, and then they retreated. The Helian warriors, who had already suffered from the iron-cased chariot and the sky-blasting cannon, had no intention of asking for it.
The heart to fight hard against it.
In their opinion, you are so powerful that I can't avoid you. Isn't it true that you have difficulty moving? As long as we bypass you, we can do whatever we want.
But what no one expected was that when they changed directions and wanted to break out, they were suddenly blocked by a river three feet long.
But it doesn't matter. There is a river in the east, but there is no river in the west. Anyway, the advantage of the cavalry is that they are fast. If they don't walk here, they will do it over there. But what happened next made the 30,000 cavalrymen fall into despair.
No matter where they rushed, there was a three-foot-long river blocking their way.
Three feet is only nine meters, so it is not that wide, and you can easily swim across it. For this reason, many soldiers who knew how to swim tried it. But when they stopped and were about to enter the water,
At that moment, many archers appeared on the opposite side. They were not in a hurry to fire arrows. They just stood in the distance and waited, as if they would shoot you to death if you dared to swim over.
Swimming is not possible. People can pass by, but horses cannot. In this case, the cavalry becomes infantry and loses any advantage. The 30,000 cavalrymen had no choice but to retreat back, away from the range of bows and arrows, and then think of a solution.
Xie Bai was very angry. He kept pacing with a fierce look on his face as if he wanted to kill someone. He looked at a famous general under his command and asked loudly, "Why didn't we find these rivers when we came? What do the scouts do for food? Why didn't we?
Find out this situation?"
Facing the angry Xie Bai, most of the generals lowered their heads and dared not answer. Only his right-hand man, the deputy general of the Northern Black Army, Jia Gan, stood up. "General, we have already checked. There were trenches before, just because they were used."
The wooden planks were in the way, so we didn't notice. It was only after we rushed over that the Jizhou Army took away the wooden planks and started pouring water. As for why the scouts didn't notice, it was because the army was advancing too fast, and the scouts didn't have time to find out everything."
"That's enough. These are all excuses. It's clear that you were too careless." Xie Bai did not feel relieved because of this explanation. He only knew that he was surrounded now and the situation was very bad.
"Okay, General Xie, don't be impatient. We are just the vanguard. Behind us, the clan leader is coming with his army. As long as they come, they will easily open a road, so that we can fight out and arrive at
It will definitely look good to the Jizhou Army at that time." He Lianlin said calmly. It was only a three-foot trench, and he really didn't pay attention to it. If it didn't work, just abandon the horse and cross the river. He didn't believe it.
Can the Jizhou Army deploy archers everywhere?
"Hmph." Helianlin's words gave Xie Bai some peace of mind, but when he saw a group of men who had no idea, he still said angrily: "What are you looking at? Why don't you think of ways to get planks, build a bridge and cross the river and rush out?
.”
The generals wanted to explain that they had searched all around and found not even a branch. The vanguard army was all cavalry and had no preparations for building a bridge. Even the ladders used in the attack on Jiangcheng were made. The city was captured.
So they threw it away. Now they really have nothing to use.
But they didn't dare to say these words to General Xie Bai, otherwise they would only get scolded.
The generals withdrew quickly. Xie Bai couldn't see anyone and couldn't get angry, so he sat down in front of Helianlin. "Hey, I'm just worried, general."
"There is nothing to worry about. We have already understood the strength of the Jizhou Army. They have no strength to fight against our 60,000 cavalry. It is even more delusional to want to encircle and annihilate us. It seems that they are just blocking us, and then
He just wants to negotiate terms with us and force us to withdraw our troops." Helianlin sneered, looking like he had everything under control.
Xie Bai didn't know much about Helianlin. He only knew that this man was the younger brother of Helianjie, the leader of the Helian clan. Seeing how confident he was, he really thought he had some solution, so he stopped talking and waited for the battle to unfold.
Changes occur.
Helianlin didn't think about it carefully, why did the trench surrounding them suddenly appear here? Is it really a coincidence? Even if they were surrounded, would it still be far from annihilating them?
It's a pity that this man is a man with great ambition and talent. He doesn't know that he is in danger. He still puts his hope in the clan leader and the large army. But he doesn't know that the clan leader has been surrounded in Jiangcheng. As for the large army now
It has entered the encirclement of the Mountain-shaking Guards.
Ten thousand cavalry is inferior to 30,000 in terms of numbers. But when it comes to combat power, it is far superior.
The Shanshan Guards are all carefully selected brave people. In addition, their armor and weapons are very sophisticated, and the horses they ride on are all excellent war horses with full foot power, allowing them to display several times their combat power.
On the other hand, the 25,000-strong Helian rear army rode on draft horses or even mules that could not be used as war horses. Their speed was limited and they could pull things. However, there were many problems when going to the battlefield. In addition to these
The people were originally created by General Helian among the cripples. Many of them were men over forty years old, and some were children of twelve or thirteen years old. The only thing they had in common was that they were all male.
For such an army, there will be no problem in letting them escort some items. Even if they fight a smooth battle, they can do it relying on the strength of their numbers. But when it comes to elite troops like Shanshan Guard,
Fighting head-on is too far off.
What's even worse is that they were unexpectedly attacked without any preparation, and the result was self-evident.
But even though the Shanshan Guard had a great advantage, from the commander Feng Xun down to every soldier, they did not underestimate the enemy. Tang Ao, the king of Ji, once taught them more than once that on the battlefield, either you will die or I will.
Death. Everyone will try their best when facing a life and death battle. If you dare to be careless, you will probably be the one who dies.
There is only one life for a person, and if you die, you cannot be resurrected. Therefore, you must try your best in every battle and show all your abilities to be worthy of yourself.
No one dared to be careless. Ten thousand Shanshan guards were lying in ambush near Shilinggou. They held knives in their mouths and wrapped their horses in cloth, not making a single sound.
Tang Ao was also among the crowd. He was holding the Changkong Zhangba tree in his right hand, which was named after it was one foot and eight feet long. It was made of all steel and weighed sixty-six thirty-six kilograms. It should not be used by those who are not strong.
He was riding a snow-white jade dragon, which was the best horse obtained by Cheng Zuofu after searching all over Da Di. Even compared to Di Wang Yi Qu Xiao's war horse, it was not afraid of making any concessions, and even had more foot power.
He was about to rush into the battle formation and fight. Obviously, a weapon like the Xiaoyao Sword was not suitable. This time Tang Ao also had to charge. Martial arts is practice after all. Only by experiencing more bloody battles can he improve his martial arts skills.
One floor.
Some people were opposed to Tang Ao personally joining the charge, but it was ineffective.
When Tang Ao held the eight-foot long sword in the sky and knocked the five Han generals to the ground very neatly, the others were silent.
At this time, the five hundred Han generals all looked ashamed. It was obvious that their skills were inferior to others, and they really didn't know who was going to protect whom when they encountered danger.
"The enemy's army has entered the encirclement." A famous scout trotted to Tang Ao and Feng Xun to convey the war situation.
Another half an hour passed, and another scout came over and said: "The enemy's rear troops have entered the encirclement."
Finally, Feng Xun, who was as motionless as a wooden stake, turned his face sideways and looked at the young master Tang Ao beside him, as if asking for instructions.
"Do it." Tang Ao also moved. After moving his body, he turned over and jumped onto the snow-stepping jade white dragon with a beautiful movement, and then raised the Changkong Zhangba in his hand high into the air. Infected by it, the surrounding surroundings were originally
Densely packed black-armored cavalry stood out in the empty Shilinggou.
"charge!"
Feng Xun's loud voice echoed in the ridge, and the sound filled the ears of every mountain-shaking guard. At this moment, the earth began to shake.
The rear troops of the Helian family who were passing by the ridge were suddenly startled by a sound that shook the ground.
Having lived on horseback since childhood, they were very familiar with the ground where war horses tread. Therefore, they quickly found the direction of the noise and looked sideways.
Upon seeing this, a scene that surprised them appeared. Countless black shadows suddenly appeared in the originally empty ridge, as if by magic.
The black shadow leaped out, coming quickly like an arrow from a string. The distance was getting closer and closer, giving people a feeling of black clouds looming over the city.
"Enemy...enemy attack!"
In the crowd, an old veteran shouted with great experience, and then his voice was covered by the sound of arrows piercing the air.
Ten thousand Shanshan Guards, each armed with a Shen's small repeating crossbow, fired all ten thousand crossbows, and arrows flew towards them like a plague of locusts.
Helian Bingyong on both sides of the crowd was the first to be attacked. The moment they saw the crossbows and arrows coming, they fell off their horses one after another. A few of them reacted quickly and hid themselves under the mules and horses.
Just lived a few more breaths.
As the bows and arrows continued to attack, the mules and horses were hit by arrows and fell down, or they crushed them under their feet, or forced them to jump up, and then they were hit by arrows and fell down again.
