Chapter 366: Fatal Explosion
Li Ze stood on the embankment of the Yishui River, flying flags, and there was no one else around him except for a few guards holding the flag, which made him look extremely conspicuous. Standing where Zhang Zhongwu was, he could clearly see several of them, although he couldn't see his face clearly, Zhang Zhongwu knew that it was Li Ze.
The person is there, but if you want to kill him, you must first break through the nearly 10,000 martial arts soldiers on the U-shaped gap.
The gap of more than 1,000 steps was blocked by three Wuwei foot soldiers, one in front and two behind, leaving two passages in the middle, which looked tempting, but all those who had experience in war, the two passages that seemed to be unimpeded were actually two death traps, and no one would be stupid enough to lead the troops through these two passages.
Through these two passages, you will first be attacked by fierce attacks from two directions, and even if you are really lucky enough to pass, the front passage will be closed in an instant, and those who enter will become the prey of the martial soldiers who are ready to attack behind.
If you want to kill in front of Li Ze, there is only one way to defeat the phalanx of foot soldiers in front of him.
But the terrain was so large, and it was not so easy for the cavalry to break through the well-deployed infantry phalanx. The flying crossbow arrows in the sky, and the ballista that roared angrily every once in a while, all posed a great threat to the Dragoons.
When Zhang Zhongwu's cavalry faced the Khitan soldiers and horses, their equipment could be called to crush the opponent, but when they encountered the Wuwei soldiers, they suddenly found that the opponent's equipment was better than theirs.
The Lu dragoons did not have so many crossbows, and many of them were horsemen, and they were better at riding and shooting. But the cavalry bow has a big weakness, basically it is soft, fighting with the Khitans, and even fighting with the Hedong soldiers, the opponent's armor is incomplete, and their cavalry can cause heavy casualties to the opponent, but in front of the Wuwei soldiers, the threat posed by their bows and arrows is minimal.
Whenever they shot a patch of feathered arrows, the other party did not dodge or dodge, but raised his shield, bowed his head, and let the feathered arrows clange on their bodies, leaving a little white mark on the armor, and then slid off weakly.
On the contrary, the other party uses a strong crossbow such as the arm crossbow, whether it shoots a person or a horse, it will make the Lulong people taste fear.
The first wave of cavalry attacking 5,000 men had shed enough blood in front of this iron wall, and the piles of corpses of men and horses had hindered their own attack speed, but the three phalanxes could not see any signs of wavering.
To this extent, Zhang Zhongwu already knows very well that he does not have much other way than exchanging human lives for human lives.
The golden gong sounded, and the first wave of cavalry slowly retreated, pulling a sufficient distance.
Of course, this is not the end, but just another beginning.
Zhang Zhongwu has enough reserve strength, even if it is Duizi, he has to be here to kill Li Ze.
There is no faster way to end the war than to kill Li Ze.
The second wave of attacks is the main cavalry led by Zhang Xing, the protector of the Chinese army, they obviously changed the previous way of playing, five hundred cavalry for a wave, open the distance, and carry out a fierce impact on the infantry phalanx in front, after a charge, no matter how much success has been achieved, once the speed slows down, they will immediately take advantage of the advantage of the war horse, leave the battlefield, and retreat from the two wings, and the second wave of five hundred cavalry, at a faster speed, to the place where the impact has just been launched again. The five thousand cavalry, divided into ten waves, were like the waves of the sea, and they kept hitting one wave after another.
There are many cavalry that have fallen, almost every time, there will be dozens of cavalry in the collision by the infantry phalanx cut off their horses, in the process of advancing and retreating, there are also about a similar number of cavalry knocked off their horses, each attack, Lu Dragoon probably lost nearly 100 people.
But in the same way, such an attack is also extremely huge for the infantry phalanx.
The first thing that couldn't hold out was the phalanx on the left side of Wanfu. After withstanding five rounds, the sixth wave of cavalry rushed to disperse his phalanx.
The phalanx of giant shields, spears, and horizontal knives in front was broken, and the crossbowmen in the middle became lambs under the swords of the cavalrymen.
The Wanfu phalanx was divided into two, and after struggling to support the sixth wave of attacks, and when the seventh wave came, Wanfu's left flank collapsed.
Wanfu, who was swept back by the defeated army, looked back at Li Ze on the embankment in despair, they didn't have much room to retreat, behind them, in addition to the four thousand cavalry, was the river embankment, and outside was the Taotao Yishui River.
As soon as the left flank was defeated, Li Han's Modao team in the center was immediately attacked from two directions.
Liang Han on the right saw that the situation was not good, and immediately commanded the phalanx on the right flank and moved closer to the Modao team.
The war then entered the second phase after the defeat of Manfu.
The 100 Chengde wolf riders under the command of Min Rou took the lead.
There were still only a hundred horsemen, but they were still as in the past, and the Lu dragoons, who were closely chasing Wanfu and rolled upside down, were killed by the Chengde wolf cavalry in an instant. After filling in this blank with the thousand wolf cavalry commanded by Tu Lichun, Wanfu finally breathed a sigh of relief, commanded his remnants, and gathered the Mo Dao team.
The zigzag formation of the three phalanxes had been broken, and the three remnants of the formations were combined into one, and in the sound of drums, they slowly retreated.
On the opposite side of them, the third wave of 5,000 cavalry rumbled forward to the sound of golden drums, sweeping towards the retreating Wuwei infantry with overwhelming momentum.
Zhang Zhongwu felt that something was abnormal.
At this time, Li Ze should not still keep his last cavalry troops. If he didn't fight back at this time, after his large army pressed all the Wuwei soldiers and horses into this U-shaped river beach, the other party would have no room for maneuver.
But the fact is that Wu Wei's foot soldiers are retreating, and their cavalry is also retreating, and they completely gave up the U-shaped seal they had been holding for a long time to the Lu Dragoon.
It seems that the Lulong people have fully gained the upper hand, forming a trend of catching turtles in Wengzhong, and at this time, the Wuwei people and horses have no second way except jumping into the river.
It's so abnormal.
Even if Li Ze hadn't gone through a big battle, Min Rou, Tu Lichun, and even Liang Han wouldn't even have the most basic common sense.
Zhang Zhongwu felt extremely uneasy, this was the intuition of a general who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, but at this time, he had no way to do anything more.
His cavalry was pressing down on the U-shaped beach in high spirits.
Li Han's heavy armor was stained with blood, some messy bloody things, stained on his armor, looking at the Lu Dragoons who were already very close to him, he actually laughed, half knelt on the ground, groped for a while, and pulled out a rope-like thing from where he stood before.
Dividing five by two, he tore open a layer of felt that wrapped the rope, took a torch from the hand of one of the people beside him, and lit the rope, which was the thickness of a baby's arm.
The rope began to burn with a clattering sound, and soon the rope that was exposed to the ground was burned out, and the spark disappeared from the ground where the grass rope was buried.
After doing all this, Li Han stood up with some difficulty, dragged his Mo Dao, and roared loudly: "Mo Dao Team, array, kill!" ”
The Mo Dao team that was retreating step by step suddenly stood on its heels, and the Mo Dao Men who still had more than ten layers left suddenly stretched out and became five layers, this queue was already very thin, and it was difficult to say whether it could withstand a single charge from the cavalry.
Cai Xu held the chopping knife in his hand, and there were several cuts on the knife, now, he really wanted to turn around and run, but when the habitual sound of the drum sounded in his ears again, he still tried hard to suppress the idea of turning around and running away, straightened up behind the soldiers of the Mo Dao team in front, and raised the chopping knife, if the regular soldiers in front of him fell, it would be their turn to make up for it.
There was a loud bang, and the cavalry that rushed over collided with the Mo sword soldiers.
There was blood in front of him.
Cai Xu saw the Lu dragoons in front, which meant that the array in front of him had been broken through.
There was almost no room for thought, he subconsciously took two steps forward, and the horse chopping knife in his hand slashed down, and the Mo Dao soldiers in front of him were completely lost, and he and the auxiliary soldiers holding the horse chopping knife behind him immediately made up for it.
Now, I'm a soldier of the Modao. Cai Xu wanted to yell a few times.
Li Ze on the river embankment clenched his fists tightly, sweat flowed down his face, and then it was his last move, if it didn't work, he would really jump into the river today to escape.
Fried, fried! He almost wanted to roar.
At this moment, every second seemed as long as a long time to him.
A loud bang rang out suddenly.
The embankment where he was standing shook suddenly, and everything in front of him suddenly appeared in a strange corner at this moment, as if everything seemed unreal at this moment.
Huge flames erupted from the U-shaped line, and balls of fireball flew up from beneath the ground and fell on the swarming cavalry.
Li Ze's war horses have long been plugged in their ears, and all the war horses of the Wuwei cavalry have been plugged in their ears, they can't hear the sound of the outside world, but they still want to break free from the control of the knights.
This was Li Ze's last killer move.
He buried all the fierce fire oil that Wu Wei had refined in the past few months on the U-shaped seal. Now, with the entire line of Wuwei soldiers and horses retreating into the U-shaped river beach, in that area, the black pressure is all Lu Long's cavalry.
The deafening sound of the explosion overwhelmed all the sounds of heaven and earth, like the fire of hell erupting, and after it landed, it burned fiercely, and the cavalry in this area was swept away almost instantly.
Li Han's huge body floated backwards like a fallen leaf, slammed heavily on the ground, struggled a few times, and still didn't get up, a few hands stretched out next to him, and helped him up with all hands and feet, holding the Mo knife, Li Han laughed.
