readx;?“ Knock knock knock ......" Accompanied by the crisp and rhythmic drums, the soldiers of Li Jiajun lined up in a neat queue and strode forward with their heads held high. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Under the sun, the soldiers of the Li Jiajun were full of determination, and they clenched the spears in their hands, and the tips of the spears emitted a dazzling cold light under the reflection of the sun.

"Knock knock knock ......" In the sound of the snare drum, the soldiers strode forward, and the iron armor on their bodies made a whooshing sound from time to time, which clearly told the princes of the various tribes of the grassland that they were coming!

The so-called "Southern Barbarians" army, which had been bullied by the barbarians, not only stepped on the prairie in a grand manner, but also slaughtered their warriors under the noses of the princes.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The officers and men of the Li family army marched in a neat step, they raised shields, or held guns, or carried knives, and they stepped over the corpses of the grassland warriors and marched bravely in the direction of the enemy.

After the forward troops led by Liu Heyang walked out for a mile, Li Zhongyi turned over and stepped onto the back of the "bloody killing" horse.

"Choke long ......" Li Zhongyi pulled out the long knife at his waist, pointed straight at the big hillside where the grassland princes were located, and shouted, "Sons, and follow this handsome horse to step on the tartar, and the knife chops the chief!" ”

"Swear to follow the commander to the death!"

"Our army wins!"

"Kill the Tartar ......" The elite tooth barracks roared in unison, and for a while, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the murderous aura was soaring!

Zhu Niang galloped on Li Zhongyi's right side, but the weapon configuration in her hand looked very strange.

Zhu Niang, who used to kill people, now has a small shield on her left wrist, and in her right hand she is holding a ten-stone bow that she is used to, and she has three feather arrows between her fingers.

The commander personally went out and shook the mountains immediately, and more than 100 of Li Zhongyi's most personal generals used their bodies and tall horses to protect Li Zhongyi tightly in a shield composed of human flesh.

The rest of the combat units of the Tooth Barracks, in accordance with the training requirements of weekdays, were grouped together and put up in battle formation.

Quite Chaoyong, who had always been left by Li Zhongyi's side, wanted to lead his cavalry troops, but he was also summoned by Li Zhongyi.

"Stay on the hillside, and keep an eye on this high ground for me." Li Zhongyi raised his hand and patted quite Chaoyong's shoulder, and asked him with a smile, "Brother Xiang Ming, you have been fighting with me in the north and south for three years, right?" ”

Zhu Niang, who was close at hand, couldn't help but sigh slightly, didn't the husband just say, quite Chaoyong followed him for more than four years, and he has been loyal and has no dissent.

Po Chaoyong accompanied the smiling face, arched his hand and said: "Back to Xiangye's words, the small one will follow you to the northwest of the Prancing Horse, conquer Haidong, and conquer the Khitan in the north, and it has been more than four years so far." ”

Li Zhongyi slapped his head and suddenly realized: "Alas, look at my memory, it's really getting worse and worse." ”

Quite Chaoyong learned from Li Yunxiao's appearance, and said with a smile: "Xiangye, according to the local rules of the northwest, as long as the small one follows you for more than three years, he will be regarded as your retainer." ”

Zhu Niang pursed her lips, quite a party barbarian, but she is quite good at finding opportunities to take advantage of loopholes.

The question is, among the retainers of the Lao Li family, Zhu Niang knows each other, when did such a barbarian appear?

Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and asked quite Chaoyong: "Do you really want to be my retainer?" ”

Po Chaoyong was originally an extremely smart party elite, he vaguely heard that Li Zhongyi had left him a lot of leeway, and couldn't help but turn over and dismount with great joy, knelt on the ground on both knees, and said loudly while kowtowing heavily: "The subordinate is quite Chaoyong, please give the lord a surname." ”

Li Zhongyi has long known that quite Chaoyong is a playful character, this guy has completely inherited the party clan, and it is the "glorious" tradition of being a bastard if he has a advantage.

It's just that Li Zhongyi still misexpected the degree of being quite brave and cheeky, this guy not only regarded himself as a retainer in public, but even asked for a surname.

Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that he was quite brave and sharpened his head, wanting to get into the core decision-making circle of Li Jiajun.

In fact, after more than four years of meticulous investigation, Li Zhongyi has already touched his mind very thoroughly.

Quite Chaoyong, this kid, as long as Li Zhongyi didn't close his eyes, he would definitely not dare to give birth to a backbone.

Li Zhongyi also intentionally or unintentionally, erected quite Chaoyong as a typical example of national integration, the generals of the party clan can command more than 7,000 troops, which accounts for more than a quarter of the total strength of the current Li family's army, enough attention, right?

Po Chaoyong is an ambitious guy, but Li Zhongyi is very confident, as long as he lives for one day, he will not dare to stab him!

"In that case, then you should follow my surname Li." Li Zhongyi's command made quite Chaoyong ecstatic, and he would be called Li Chaoyong in the future.

Hehe, with his super political wisdom, he realized early on that the surname Li would become a national surname sooner or later!

"Little Li Yong meets Xiangye." quite Chaoyong borrowed the donkey from the slope, and then kowtowed, wanting to give the name of the retainer with the surname in public.

"Get up, and I'll leave this place to you. I'll say the ugly words first, if I lose this important place......" Li Zhongyi deliberately paused, leaving Li Yong (quite Chaoyong) room to answer.

Sure enough, as Li Zhongyi expected, Li Yong didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he patted his chest and swore and said, "Then cut off the little head as a night fragrance!" ”

Night incense, in fact, is a night pot, but the big families of this era are more taboo about the night pot, so they replace it with "night incense".

Li Yong was left behind to guard the small hillside, Yang Lie led the First Army to defend against Yelu Huge's elite leather room army, and Li Zhongyi's attacking troops at hand, only Liu Heyang's Second Army, Liao Shanhe's Third Army, and Li Zhongyi's own Ya Barracks and Guards were left, and their total strength was only 23,000 at best.

With the drumbeat and military trumpets of the march, the soldiers of the Li family army took firm and powerful steps and quickly attacked the princes on the grassland.

When the drums of Li Jiajun's side were beating, Lao Guning was just a little confused, and he couldn't understand, what was Li Zhongyi trying to bomb?

When the Li family's army went out and took the initiative to attack the grassland coalition army with a small number of troops, Lao Guning was taken aback at first, and then became furious, the southern barbarians were really too deceitful, and they simply didn't take the warriors on the grassland seriously.

Not only was Lao Guning angry, but the rest of the clan leaders around him were also completely enraged after they understood it again!

"King, the southern barbarians have eaten the gall of the leopard, and they have launched an active attack on us, Lao Tzu must chop them up!" The patriarch of Murwei couldn't help but jump out to fan the flames.

Lao Guning glanced coldly at his side, and he knew very well in his heart that the violent bear had found an excellent opportunity to completely roast him and the Xi clan on the fire.

In fact, the violent bear's initiative to stand up has both provocative elements and annoyance factors.

Storm Bear had already discovered the movement on Li Jiajun's side, but he never expected that Li Jiajun, who was absolutely weak in his medical history, would dare to take the initiative to provoke the grassland warriors who were several times more powerful.

"Patriarchs, the Southern Barbarians are so hateful, we can't bear it, we must cut off their heads and build a Jingguan!" After all, King Xi Lao Guning has seen the world, and even knows about the long-lost Zhujing Temple.

"Yes, my lord, there has always been only our warriors on the grassland, who have gone south to fight the grass valley, how can there be a precedent for the southern barbarians to take the initiative to provoke?"

"King, you don't talk nonsense, let's rush up and chop up those damn southern barbarians......"

"yes, yes, chopped up and fed to the wild dogs......"

Lao Guning looked at the so-called brothers on the grassland with some irony, just now, these patriarchs were still thinking about how to preserve their strength, but now they are all like chickens, and they are enthusiastically jumping out to take the initiative to fight.

In fact, Lao Guning knew in his heart what kind of crooked idea the patriarchs were fighting. These old foxes just want the warriors of the Xi clan to continue to take the lead for them, so that their clansmen can pick up ready-made bargains in the back.

Now, Lao Guning didn't bother to care about the careful eyes of the patriarchs, he said lightly: "Since the Southern Barbarians took the initiative to come to find death, then we simply fulfilled them." However, I would like to remind you patriarchs that your sons and daughters must raise their shields to defend themselves when they charge. ”

Lao Guning didn't want to remind everyone like this, but the Li family's powerful bow and crossbow made him extremely jealous. If Li Zhongyi only had more than 20,000 infantry troops in his hands, Lao Guning would not be too worried.

What's more serious is that once the head-on confrontation is lost, the Li family army also hides a huge cavalry team behind the formation. At that time, the defeated and lost grassland coalition army is likely to face the danger of being pursued and killed all the way by the southern barbarians.

"Patriarchs, everyone give the order, and cut off the head of the Southern Barbarian with me!" In the face of the aggressive Li Jiajun, Lao Guning did not have time to continue grinding his teeth with the grassland patriarchs, so he decisively issued an order to assault on the whole front.

"Yo ho ......"

"Kill ......"

"Whew...... Chop the light of the southern barbarian......"

The bloodiness of the steppe warriors is actually still full, as long as the patriarchs make up their minds, they are soon inspired by all kinds of rich promises, and their fighting spirit is high.

Li Zhongyi looked through the monocular and saw the grassland cavalry on the opposite side, condescending, rushing over with a horse, he couldn't help but smile coldly, and muttered to himself: "Good, very good, very good!" ”

"Master, what's great?" Zhu Niang, who had been holding a shield and a bow to protect Li Zhongyi's side, asked him very curiously.

Li Zhongyi smiled faintly and said, "Lady, I'll let my husband make a big trick for you later." ”

"The big trick?" Zhu Niang turned a pair of beautiful eyes, because of the relationship of personal service, she vaguely knew that Li Zhongyi secretly told Li Yunxiao to do some extremely confidential things.

"We'll see." Li Zhongyi observed that the large force of the steppe cavalry had indeed moved, and the banners of all ethnic groups and tribes were flying all over the sky, and he immediately ordered, "Order the whole army to slow down the pace of advance, the front row will not move, and the rear row will be tied up to resist horses and spears." ”

"Whoa." After receiving the order, the heralds rushed out of the line of the Chinese army and went to the front to deliver the military order.

"Use the military horn to tell Liu Heyang and Liao Shanhe in front that it is still a five-stage attack, but this time it must be a rocket poured with fierce fire oil." Li Zhongyi guessed that the tribes of the grassland had seen the power of the Li family's bow and crossbow in the first battle, and using the shield to defend themselves was the proper meaning of the question.

"Pass my order, the improvised trebuchet must be assembled and ready for use within the specified time." Li Zhongyi can now be called a well-known commander who has experienced a hundred battles, and the various measures of riding on foot have long been trained very skillfully in various exercises of the Li Jiajun.

After Li Zhongyi issued several of the most important orders to meet the enemy, the trumpeter immediately conveyed the order to carry out the battle plan C.

When He Dabei heard Li Zhongyi's battle plan for No. C, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yang Wushuang, the right senator, and said with a smile: "Lingshuai is going to fight the warriors on the grassland at one time!" ”

Yang Wu stroked the horsehair under his crotch with both hands, and said expressionlessly: "Judging from the first battle of Fang Cai, the tribal army on the grassland is actually not a cause for concern, what is worrying is that when our army was devouring the grassland coalition army, Yelu Xiuge suddenly came out from the flank and caught us off guard." ”

"Yes, the key to this battle is actually whether Yang Baixing can hold back Yelu Xiuge's elite leather room army?" He Dabei knew in his heart that Yang Wushuang was Yang Lie's cousin, and it was reasonable for him to worry more about Yang Lie.

"No matter how many troops there are, every battle must leave a new force to act as a reserve, and the words of the old man are indeed extremely wise!" Yang Wushuang turned around and looked at the direction of the cavalry battalion left on the hillside, the thousands of cavalry under Quite Chaoyong, that was the last retreat left by Li Zhongyi for everyone.

"Kill......" The grassland coalition army raised a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, urging the war horses under their crotches, and rushed towards the Li family army all over the mountains.

"Stop moving forward and set up according to Plan C!" Li Zhongyi saw very clearly that all the tribal armies in the grassland had moved, and the two armies were fighting, as long as one side launched it with all its might, it would be like water spilled out, and it would be difficult to take it back.

Li Zhongyi deliberately put on the posture of taking the initiative to attack, the purpose was to make all the tribal troops on the grassland move.

After the army stopped advancing, Guo Ziming, who had just been promoted to deputy capital after the Battle of Yingzhou, loudly commanded his subordinates and set up a horse rejection gun formation behind the dense door flags.

According to Li Jiajun's combat regulations, the core point of cavalry on foot is to use all kinds of equipment to resist horses to delay or block the impact momentum of the cavalry group's charge.

Chief Cao Yong wielded the big wooden hammer in his hand and smashed the base of the iron horse rejection gun rack into the dirt underground.

Each group of repulsive guns consisted of five three-zhang spears, the tails of which were inserted deep into the ground, the barrels of the guns sticking out along the holes prepared in advance, and the tips of the guns were arranged in a crossed zigzag shape.

The arrangement of this kind of rejecting horse gun array is actually very particular, the gun barrel should be thick, the vicinity of the gun head must be covered with iron, and the tip of the gun can be blunt or triangular pointed end.

The distance and position between each gun formation must only allow two people to pass sideways, so as to prevent the skilled steppe cavalry from taking advantage of the opportunity.

In other words, after the steppe cavalry rushed through the dense gate flags, what awaited them was a dense array of deadly repulsors.

As Guo Ziming, who has gone through countless battles, he has long been familiar with the role of the horse gun formation.

Last time, when the elite palace division army of the Li Jiajun and the Khitan people fought a decisive battle near Mingzhou, Guo Ziming was still a spearman at the forefront.

At that time, Li Jiajun relied on the rejection of the horse gun formation and the dug pit, which greatly hindered the speed and pace of the Khitan charge.

"Brothers, press harder, and stick the tail of the rejecting pistol into the ground as deep as possible." As a veteran, Guo Ziming must use his experience to educate his recruits to quickly enter the state of actual combat in order to win and return alive.

Behind the repulsion rifle array was the strike position of the crossbowmen, followed by the position of the improvised trebuchet. More than 100 trebuchets operated by five people have been quickly erected and are being assembled.

Next to each trebuchet, there is a pile of sacks filled with sand, because Li Jiajun throws out not stones, but a special "cocktail" with extremely high burning power, so the necessary fireproof materials must be prepared in advance.

Li Zhongyi, who was riding on the back of the "blood killing", slowly scanned the entire defensive position through the monoculars, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers deeply infected him, the commander of the army.

"Uh-huh, sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime, and don't deceive me!" Li Zhongyi thought of this slogan in the military camp in later generations, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, many times it is indeed the essence that is condensed.

In view of the fact that the bow and crossbow of the Southern Barbarian were very powerful, Lao Guning did not rush to the front of the team like a reckless man, he was under the heavy protection of the close tooth soldiers, mixed in the team of people and horses, and subconsciously controlled the speed of the war horse charge.

"Kill...... Zai Guangnan barbarian ...... "Compared with Lao Guning, who is qualified to cherish life, the grassland warriors who have been inspired by the blood only hate the war horse running too slowly.

The grassland warriors, while holding the round shield in their hands sideways, waved the long knives in their hands, and fearlessly rushed towards the Li family's infantry army array full of door flags.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

"Shieldman ready!"

"The winder is in place!"

With the front-line grassroots commanders, one after another to meet the enemy's military orders, the second frontal positional battle between the Central Plains Han army and the grassland coalition army once again kicked off.

Suddenly, just when the grassland cavalry was about to enter the farthest strike distance of the divine arm crossbow, the grassland cavalry who rushed to the front, as if they had been cut through the middle with a knife, suddenly split into two and attacked the two wings of the Li family's army.

Seeing this, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, and commented: "This is the wolf pack tactic that the grassland warriors are best at!" ”

According to Plan C, the Li Jiajun put up a phalanx in this battle, not the round formation just now. In other words, no matter which direction the steppe cavalry rushed from, there were always dense bows and crossbows that would take good care of them.

At this time, the steppe cavalry brigade that was circling the two flanks did not attack immediately, but continued to outflank them along the outermost periphery of the Li family's defense line, avoiding the farthest distance of the bow and crossbow strike.

Li Zhongyi nodded and praised: "King Xi Lao Guning is worthy of being an old robber who has been in battle for a long time, and he has done a good job, besieging from all sides, it is obviously more difficult to deal with than attacking only one side*******s: 10,000 words have been changed, and there are more in the early morning, Sikong has gone out, ask for encouragement from a few monthly passes!"
