Chapter 187 The first battle is not conducive to retreating twenty miles

Because the distance is too far, Li Xiuning can't observe the details of the battlefield, although Li Xiuning has been in battle for a long time, and the so-called concern is chaos, although she is calm at the moment, but her heart has already been chaotic because of her concern for Chen Ying.

"The meal is ready, please go and eat with Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang!" He Yue'er, who rushed over urgently, was wearing a trumpet bird hammer armor at this time, standing behind Li Xiuning.

In normal times, He Yue'er does not wear armor, because her kung fu is originally known for her lightness, and wearing armor limits her performance. But now on the battlefield, He Yue'er acts as Li Xiuning's personal bodyguard, and when necessary, He Yue'er needs to go up and block arrows for Li Xiuning.

"Hongu is not hungry!" Li Xiuning stared at Happy Valley, where there was a faint sound of killing, and said coldly: "Take it down!" ”

He Yue'er sighed and said, "Princess, you should believe in General Chen at this time, he will not be defeated!" ”

"But...... But! "Under Li Xiuning's strong appearance, she still has a little daughter mentality. She muttered: "But Dou Jiande has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the disparity between the enemy and me is too great!" ”

He Yue'er smiled and said: "General Chen has the Mo Dao Army, you don't know that the Mo Dao Army ......."

Without waiting for He Yue'er to speak, Li Xiuning said impatiently: "There is a trick in this world called One Force Descending Ten Meetings, there are only more than 2,700 Mo Dao Hands, and more than 100,000 horses are rushing up, even if you can't kill the Mo Dao Army, you can exhaust them to death......

Li Xiuning is not wrong, in fact, such a situation is indeed prone to occur on the battlefield, and under asymmetrical blows, no matter how elite the soldiers and horses are, they will be lost in the crowd tactics.

He Yue'er's eyes rolled to her heart: Your Royal Highness Princess, you have to eat even more, you have enough to eat, we have enough to drink, we have strength, once the situation is unfavorable for General Chen, we can save him! ”

"Right...... Right! Li Xiuning suddenly realized: "This palace wants to eat!" ”

He Yue'er hurriedly asked people to warm up the meal that had become slightly cold again, but this is the front line in the army, even if Li Xiuning is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, there is no better treatment. It is nothing more than two bowls of mutton, one bowl steamed, one bowl of braised meat, one plate of carrots, and pickled cucumbers.

These meals are naturally very rich in ordinary people's homes, but they are relatively simple for Li Xiuning. But Li Xiuning ate very fiercely, and he picked up rice in his mouth without any image.

……

Just when Li Xiuning was eating, Chen Ying smiled lightly on the battlefield: "From now on, the Modao Army will definitely be famous all over the world!" Let's use him as an appetizer first! ”

As soon as Chen Ying's words fell, a desolate trumpet sounded.

"Slash!"

A roar full of violent atmosphere sounded, and the Mo knife stabbed out at the same time, and the screams were immediately loud! The armor-piercing ability of the Mo Dao is very strong, coupled with the fact that the enemy is outnumbered, the amazing explosive power of the Mo Dao soldiers, the cuirass of the Xia army soldiers cannot withstand a sharp blow at close range, once it is split, it is a split in half.

However, on the contrary, the soldiers of the Xia Army are also very strong in spear armor-piercing, but they are a little powerless in the face of the soldiers of the Modao Army wearing the Mingguang armor made of high manganese steel. The tip of the gun of the Xia army stabbed the heart guard on the chest of the soldier of the Modao Army, and there was a tooth-sore sound on the heart guard, and the barrel of the gun was stretched into a crescent shape, and it could not be pierced, but the tip of the gun easily slipped to the side.

Of course, the bright light armor worn by the soldiers of the Modao Army is not omnipotent, but the spear that stabs at the face and throat of the soldiers of the Modao Army can easily break through the armor and cut off the last ray of life of the soldiers of the Modao Army. However, these soldiers of the Modao Army are not fools, their key point is just a little, and a slight flash is enough to avoid the fatal point.

On the other hand, the Mo knife in the hands of the soldiers of the Mo Dao Army is not taboo, whether it is the cuirass in front of it, or the thick shoulder pads, it only takes one blow, and the soldiers of the Xia Army fall down with a bang, just like putting down the wheat straw in the wheat field.

In just one face, the soldiers of the Xia Army suffered a big loss, with heavy casualties, but there were not many soldiers of the Modao Army who were stabbed down.

However, the Xia army is an army composed of Yan Zhao Nan'er in Hebei, and their characteristics are the characteristics of Yan Zhao Nan'er, the more dead and wounded, the more fierce they will fight, the more fierce they will kill, and they will never die! With so many dead and wounded, the pikemen of the Xia army also had red eyes, and a suppressed, beastly roar came out of their throats, and there was no more tactics to talk about, so they just raised their guns and stabbed them in the faces and throats of the soldiers of the Modao Army.

If it was an ordinary Tang Army soldier, in the face of the crazy attack of the Xia Army's soldiers, he would definitely be frightened in his heart. However, what the Modao Army is not afraid of is the enemy's onslaught as always. Because when the Modao Army was formed, the imaginary enemy was the cavalry of the Turks. No matter how fast the Xia soldiers charged, no matter how fierce they were, they still couldn't beat the Turkic cavalry.

He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills.

Relying on a heavy armor, the soldiers of the Mo Knife Army can ignore the stabbing of the Xia Army soldiers and hit them straight forward, the Mo Knife is not slow or slow, and the knife is as fast as lightning when it is released, every time a knife is chopped, there will inevitably be a Xia Army soldier who is chopped to the ground, and in an instant, the first row of pikemen of the Xia Army is chopped to pieces.

The soldiers of the Xia army also killed bloody, even the first layer of spearmen were killed. But more soldiers of the Xia Army greeted these soldiers of the heavily armored Modao Army with more dense spears, the battlefield is so big, everyone has no room to dodge and move, they can only stab face-to-face, one shot for one shot, one life for another, at this moment, no matter how clever the command is, it has lost its effect, whoever can survive to the end will be able to achieve victory!

Gradually moving forward, Dou Jiande, who came to the rear of the battlefield to watch the formation, looked at this scene, his hands were clenched into fists, the back of his hands was full of green tendons, and he whispered: "What a strong soldier, what a strong soldier!" ”

Wang Xiaohu showed a rare look of panic: "If the Tang Army fights like this in every battle, then there will be no one in my Great Xia!" ”

Wang Xiaohu was nicknamed Wang Daring in the Xia Kingdom, and he, like Liu Heimin, was a fellow villager of Dou Jiande. Wang Xiaohu was born as a butcher, and used to be engaged in the trading of white knives in and red knives out. Since Dou Jiande raised troops in Hebei, Wang Xiaohu has been the vanguard in every battle, in fact, his kung fu is really not very good, relying on the momentum of moving forward and not being afraid of death.

As the so-called horizontal is afraid of being stunned, and being stunned is afraid of dying. Wang Xiaohu belongs to both of them, and he is stunned and dead.

Dou Jiande's face was slightly distorted, his face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "So we must completely annihilate this Tang army here, and we must not let go of a single soldier!" Such a Tang army, the Tang Dynasty has just one or two, annihilating them, and the Central Plains is in my Great Xia's bag! ”

In fact, Dou Jiande also has the ambition to unify the world. This time he was asked by Wang Shichong to come to help him, if for a Wang Shichong who has no friendship at all, even if Dou Jiande sends a general, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the Tang army will reconsider the battle of the Central Plains.

However, this time he gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and most of the mobile forces that could be deployed in almost the entire Xia Kingdom were transferred, not just for Wang Shichong to relieve the siege. Moreover, as early as when Wang Shichong killed the monarch and usurped the throne, Dou Jiande swore that he would not stand with Wang Shichong, and he had no reason to go back on his word.

Dou Jiande led an army of 150,000 to the west, the purpose was definitely not just to relieve the siege of Wang Shichong, as long as he came, he didn't think about leaving. Once the Central Plains is occupied and connected with Hebei and Shandong, even if Dou Jiande cannot defeat the Tang army and unify the world, he can divide the north equally with Li Tang, just like the Eastern Wei and Western Wei dynasties in the past.

Wang Xiaohu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the last general asks to go to war to help Liu Qiyi!" ”

Liu Seventeen is Liu Jintang, and the Liu family in Beizhou is also a big family, Liu Heimin ranks third among his peers, and Liu Jintang ranks seventeenth, and Liu Jintang's brothers of the same generation should all be added together, which can be ranked thirty miles away.

General Fan Yuan bowed down and said: Your Majesty, my brother is willing to lead the troops to fight and attack the back of the Tang army! ”

Fan Yuan and Dou Jiande are brothers, so he calls himself a brother in front of Dou Jiande.

Cao Zhan also said: "Your Majesty, the last general will ask for battle!" ”

Gao Yaxian saw that everyone was asking for battle, and he was not to be outdone, and also said loudly: "Your Majesty...... The last general is going to fight! ”

Dou Jiande waved his hand and said, "It's not the time yet!" Let Liu Jintang retreat, lead the Tang army eastward, and lead it to Xingyang, where I want Chen Yingxiao'er...... Hum! ”

Dou Jiande is not as unbearable as written in history, he knows that the Tiger Prison Pass is located between the Kunshan Mountain and the Chongshan Mountain, bordering the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", and it is a place for soldiers of all dynasties. In later generations, because of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Three British War Lu Bu made the Tiger Prison famous all over the world.

However, it is certain that this is fake, because the Tiger Prison cannot swing so many troops. More than 20,000 people entered the Tiger Prison Pass reluctantly, which made Dou Jiande's tens of thousands of troops unable to exert at all.

"Bell bell bell ......" The sound of Mingjin receiving troops sounded in the Xia army's array, but at this time Liu Jintang was already furious, his subordinates, especially the archers, were killed and wounded by the Mo Dao Army, and then the pikemen were put down by the knife in close combat More than 2,000 people, the most terrible thing is that his losses are still increasing at an alarming rate, and the Mo Dao like a wall is constantly refreshing Liu Jintang's casualty list! The final losses have not yet been counted, but they are certainly not light, but the damned Tang Army Mo Dao Army is rampage on the battlefield, cutting his troops into minced meat again and again.

Some of the corpses were sent down, mostly invisible, and it was almost impossible to find a single body that could be intact. Either they were split in half, which is the best way to die, or they were cut into several pieces with a knife, and some even split their heads in half, or they were cut off their hands and feet, and even worse, the dense stumps and broken arms couldn't tell who was who. The worst thing is that the soldiers of the Xia Army who were disemboweled, and their internal organs and intestines flew out, which was unbearable to see, and Liu Jintang's scalp was numb.

With great difficulty, more than 15,000 troops were raised, and a third of them were directly lost. This made Liu Jintang's heart hurt and dripping blood: "Damn Chen Ying'er, you took the wrong medicine, right?" ”

However, with the order to retreat from Mingjin issued, Liu Jintang really didn't dare to disobey. As Dou Jiande's confidant general, he naturally knew that even if he disobeyed the order, Dou Jiande would not do anything to him, but he was worried that since then, Dou Jiande would lose his prestige in the army, which would make the situation in Xia even more turbulent.

"The back team is the front team, retreat!" Liu Jintang's face roared hideously: "Retreat!" ”

"If you want to go, it's not that easy!" Chen Ying listened to the sound of gold in the rear of the Xia army, looked at the soldiers of the Xia army who were slowly retreating, and ordered: "Leave Liu Jintang to this general!" ”

"Order, I'll come!"

"I'm coming!" Shan Xiongxin and Ashina Simo immediately competed, and the two quarreled red-faced, but they fought each other-for-tat and refused to give in to each other.

Chen Ying waved to stop their quarrel: "Let's go!" ”

At this time, Chen Ying's command lacked horses, but it was not without horses. In particular, the Modao Army, with more than 2,700 people, has more than 2,000 horses, but most of them are pulling horses or horses, and there are only more than 300 war horses.

Under Chen Ying's order, Ashina Simo, Shan Xiongxin, Zhou Qing, and Guo Luo led more than 360 personal guard cavalry, 360 cavalry, galloping like a tiger, overwhelming!

Liu Jintang had also retreated at this time, and the Modao Army no longer pursued and killed, after all, the clumsy soldiers of the Modao Army could not catch up with the light infantry of the Xia Army who wanted to retreat. Liu Jintang suddenly heard the thunder roaring on the mountain, but it was three hundred and sixty horsemen rushing straight down! Seeing the pro-guard battalion so imposing for the first time, Liu Jintang and Dou Jiande, who was watching the formation from the rear, were startled, and Dou Jiande said in his heart: "This is their cavalry battalion?" What an elite cavalry! ”

However, at this moment, the Tang cavalry that was condescending, people borrowed horses, and horses borrowed the terrain, and the Tang cavalry that rushed down from the mountain became faster and faster, and between dozens of breaths, these Tang cavalry had already rushed to Liu Jintang's place at one stone's throw away.

If there was no retreat at this time and the formation was not chaotic, these more than 360 cavalrymen would really be helpless against Liu Jintang.

Ashina Simo took the lead, the ape arm stretched out, and while a stunned Xia army soldier lifted it up, he threw it on the ground with a loud shout, the reins were pulled, and the yellow horse under the seat neighed, and the manpower got up, and the hooves stepped down, and the Xia soldiers who were about to fall to the ground had not had time to get up, that is, the war horse hooves stepped on the braincase and cracked, and the brain flowed to the ground!

Seeing the cavalry slaughtering in his rear phalanx, Liu Jintang was stunned, and he shouted: "Array, array!" ”

As Liu Jintang's guards roared at the same time, thousands of people roared out at the same time, and the sound really covered the killing shouts on the battlefield. When these awakened pikemen of the Xia Army heard the order, they crowded one after another, one by one, raising their spears, and facing the cavalry of Chen Ying's personal guards who were about to rush.

Chen Ying looked at Liu Jintang, who had reorganized the chaotic troops into an army in just one pillar of incense, and said, "This Liu Jintang is really powerful!" ”

Liu Jintang commanded the spearmen under his command, and the tip of the spear was aimed at the Tang cavalry on the mountain, and slowly retreated.

Watching Liu Jintang reorganize the gun formation, charging at this time is simply a life-for-life fight.

Chen Ying had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

In the gate tower of the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Xiuning had just put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to He Yue'er: "The palace is ready, let's go to Happy Valley ...... with the whole army."

However, at this moment, Feng Li said with a face full of joy: "Congratulations to Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, congratulations to Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, General Chen has won!" ”

"Win?" Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously asked, "How did you win?" ”

"Dou Jiande's guard general Liu Jintang's troops stormed Paomaling, Liu Jintang made thousands of bows and arrows shoot at the Modao array, seeing that the bows and arrows could not cause damage to the Modao army, he ordered the long soldiers to assault, but the pikemen under his command were attacked by the soldiers of the Modao Army, the Modao Army advanced like a wall, Liu Jintang's troops were defeated, and the blood stained Paomaling, and now Liu Jintang's troops have retreated to the northeast of Happy Valley Horse twenty miles."
