Chapter five hundred and ninety sixth decapitation
The hundreds of battles in the south of the city were very difficult, and there were people lying dead on the roadside in the yellow sand.
The military clothes are still on and the snow and frost are still there, and the sweaty horses are covered with iron.
No books are sent to the Yang Ye Tower, and blood bleeds above the lotus sword.
The Xiongnu did not speak of their family until they were exterminated, and they expelled people from all walks of life and exchanged money on credit.
——Excerpt from "Joining the Army" by Li Ang (Tang Dynasty)
…
The Tang army withstood the Yan army's attacks one after another, fighting from the rising sun to the scorching sun.
Blood mixed with sweat flowed from his cheeks, seeping into the armor, and then evaporated dry.
Both sides were furious. If the weapons were broken, they would use daggers; if the daggers were broken, they would use masonry; if the masonry was smashed, they would use teeth...
Broken walls, tens of thousands of corpses, and blood flowing in the oars...
Heyang Nancheng has become a Shura field of massacre. There is no romantic sadness praised by frontier poems, only the ferocity of wild beasts hunting for survival...
No one on the battlefield remembers justice, interests, and even forgets fame, fortune, glory and wealth. A group of people who have never lived together have forgotten why they are fighting. As long as they can see it, they want to tear their opponents in half and chop them into pieces.
.
Man has become a beast, or in other words, man is a beast at all.
The sky is weeping blood and the devil is laughing
…
During the stalemate stage of the war, the morale of the Tang army was high. Although its strength was dwarfed by comparison, it did not fall behind.
Li Guangbi was well aware of the brutality of the Battle of Nancheng, but he was unable to divide his troops for rescue, so he could only place his hope in Li Baoyu's loyalty and bravery.
"chirp"
With an eagle's cry, a fierce sea turtle landed in front of the tent.
The soldiers took down the eagle letter and quickly ran into the tent.
After Li Guangbi read Ying Xin, he secretly praised: "This boy is so brave!"
Li Guangbi picked out a golden command arrow, threw it to the messenger, and shouted: "Hurry and give this command arrow to General Bai Xiaode, and order him to select 500 elite cavalry, rush to the aid of Nancheng, and wait for General Bai Fu's dispatch!"
…
At the same time, the Zhongli City Walled Gate opened, and a group of soldiers flew past on horseback from the pontoon bridge and entered the city through the north gate of Heyang South City.
"General, the reinforcements are here!" The ordering soldier led the way and ran to Li Baoyu's side happily.
"How many of you are here?" Li Baoyu asked panting while raising his head to drink water, ignoring the pleasantries.
"Five hundred cavalry!" the visitor replied simply and neatly.
“Damn, five hundred people are enough for a bird!
Look below the city, there are tens of thousands of rebels attacking the city alone!" Li Baoyu looked fierce and rude, and hurled angrily at the incoming general.
"I have been watching the formation for a long time. Although the number of rebels is large, their morale is low at the moment, and their depressed morale is like a dam storing floods.
As long as we can poke a hole in the dike, the rebels will burst through the dike immediately and be defeated!" The general looked directly into Li Baoyu's eyes, his eyes firm and determined.
Li Baoyu was shocked by the general's momentum and softened his tone, saying: "Which section of the city wall should we break through the rebels from?"
"From behind the enemy's army," the general said.
Li Baoyu puffed his beard and glared, then waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Little general, the war is fierce, don't joke! We only made it to this moment because of the strong city and the tall buildings.
Going out to fight in the city?! Nonsense!
Use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths?!
Have you ever thought that with the strength of our cavalry, once we leave the city for a decisive battle, we will be crushed to pieces by the iron hoofs of the rebels in an instant!"
The general suddenly smiled brightly and said: "Offense is the best defense!
If we continue to retreat and defend, the rebels' firepower will be more intensive, and our casualties will be greater. Why not change the rhythm, take them by surprise, and disrupt their position!
Even you, the general, dare not think of a decisive battle outside the city, let alone Shi Siming!"
Li Baoyu was stunned and suddenly realized.
He threw down the water bag, patted his shoulder, and laughed loudly: "Okay! Then I, Li Baoyu, will give it a try and fuck my mother!"
…
The coming general is Bai Fu.
After making a plan with Li Baoyu, Bai Fu led 500 elite cavalry led by Bai Xiaode and quietly went around behind the Yan army.
Before the arrival of 500 Tang Army cavalry, the scout battalion commander Liu Yidao led the sharpshooters to kill the Yan Army scouts who were scouting nearby.
Therefore, the appearance of the Tang army along this route did not attract the attention of the Yan army.
Behind the last gentle slope, Bai Fu reined in his horses and let the horses of the cavalry rest for a while, waiting for the full sprint.
The war horses snorted, panted heavily, and kept digging at the soft earth.
Bai Xiaode took the opportunity to ask: "General Bai, the trebuchets have done a lot of damage to the city. Is our next main attack direction going to be the trebuchet position?"
Bai Fu shook his head and said: "Hit the snake seven inches!
The Chinese Army where Shi Siming belongs is the command center of the entire battle. We must be like a sharp knife, piercing the Chinese Army and gouging out the heart of the Yan Army."
Even though Bai Xiaode was very courageous, he was also startled and said in surprise: "Where Shi Siming is, it is heavily protected. If we only have 500 men and horses, rushing over will be like hitting a stone with an egg!"
Bai Fu turned his head and smiled mysteriously, saying, "Just wait and see!"
"chirp"
With an eagle's cry, a sea turtle hovered above Bai Fu's head and changed its flying posture.
Bai Fu raised his five-hook god flying spear high and shouted loudly: "Generals, listen to the order, the fighter plane has appeared, come with me and rush over!"
After saying that, Bai Fu clamped his horse's belly, and the gale-force man stood up, neighing, and rushed towards the enemy like a sharp arrow with fangs.
Bai Fu took the lead and rushed towards Shi Siming's flag.
When the five hundred Tang army cavalry saw that their general was not afraid of life and death, their blood immediately boiled. They beat their horses and whipped their whips, rushing towards the Yan army like mercury pouring down the ground.
…
The sound of the hooves of the five hundred Tang army cavalry charging into the formation was masked by the noisy sound of the Yan army attacking the city.
The sentries on the Chinese army's cranes who were on the lookout were almost all staring at the movements in Nancheng, Heyang, and did not notice that there were people and horses coming from behind.
One of the sentries turned back inadvertently, his eyes widened in shock, and just as he was about to shout loudly, a cold arrow pierced his throat, killing him with one blow.
"Swish swish"
Several sentries were all killed.
The lynx dressed in the uniform of the Yan army quickly evacuated after killing the sentry, and soon blended into the chaotic Yan army formation.
…
The trebuchet position suddenly burst into flames for no apparent reason, and several trebuchets were engulfed in blazing flames with thick smoke billowing from them.
The giant trebuchet quickly collapsed and fell from the air. The Yan army who controlled the trebuchet ran away with their heads in their hands, trying to avoid it.
It is the work of scouts such as Hammer and Lone Wolf.
They mingled among the soldiers of the Yan army, and they generally looked pretentious and had no sense of disobedience.
…
Seeing that the trebuchet caught fire and crashed, Shi Siming was furious and shouted: "There must be a detailed work of the Tang army hidden in the army, let me capture it quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, Shi Siming felt the earth shaking, which was a precursor to a cavalry charge.
Shi Siming was surprised and was about to ask the reason.
Suddenly I heard a loud noise behind me, and when I turned my head, I saw smoke and dust billowing from the position behind me, and shouts of killing were everywhere.
"Roar"
A strong wind roared in, and the Yan army's horses were frightened. Many horses broke free from their reins, overturned their horses, and followed the strong wind.
Bai Fu's Five-Hook Divine Flying Spear rolled its tip, and Xunkan's true energy burst out of the air, sweeping the oncoming arrows from the sky to the ground.
The armor of Baifu soldiers is not afraid of arrows, and Gale is also wearing light armor all over his body. As long as the horse's legs and other joints are not hit by arrows, it will not be afraid of the rain of arrows.
Bai Fu's "Yai Can" roared angrily, and shot out arrows with eagle feathers, killing the rows of Yan army crossbow archers who were intercepting them.
Bai Fu's horse was so fast that he had already rushed to the front of the formation before the two pots of arrows were finished shooting.
Shi Siming did not expect that in today's battle, the Tang army would have the courage to sneak attack from behind. In order to facilitate the galloping of his cavalry, he did not place too many obstacles such as antlers and wood caltrops in the rear army.
The gust of wind leaped into the air with all four hooves, leaping over a row of antlers.
Bai Fu didn't wait for his horse to land, and used the "Tiannu Scattering Flowers" move. The pebbles in his hand shot out, hitting the oncoming gun and shield soldiers in the face.
Bai Fu's flying stone was extremely powerful, piercing through shields, armor, brains and bones. The Yan army's spear and shield soldiers fell to pieces with a crash.
The fish scale array suddenly cracked open.
Behind Bai Fu, the cavalry of the Tang army roared in, like a flood bursting its embankment, and the fish scale array was washed away with a roar.
A gap was opened in the rear army's defense system in an instant.
The target of the Tang army's beheading operation was clear, which was Shi Siming's head!
Bai Fu left behind all the soldiers and generals around him and headed straight for Commander Shi Siming's banner!
The war horse under his crotch is like a dragon emerging from the water, splitting and riding the waves; the silver spear in his hand is like pear blossoms splashing in the rain, falling flowers are colorful... Bai Fu is like a god of death coming to earth. Wherever he goes, the Yan soldiers overturn their horses and run away with their heads in their hands. No one can join them.
