Chapter 375: Breaking the Gao Family

(Chapter 5 is delivered, and today it is nearly 17,000 words.) Everyone can see Muzi's efforts, I hope everyone can also vigorously support Muzi, ask for subscription, ask for recommendation votes, and ask for rewards! )

The sun sets, and the fire burns the western sky!

The sunset in the west is reflected in the river, and the water is already on fire.

Li Jing carefully observed the river water, and it could be seen from the watermark on the riverside that the river water was about a foot shallower than before. But if you don't take it too seriously, it's dusk at this time, and it is estimated that the other party will not notice this.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Li Wei ran to Li Jing's side excitedly, and said in a low voice with suppressed excitement.

"Pass my order, let these cavalry cross the river first, and wait until half of the infantry behind have crossed the river, and then immediately attack the infantry crossing the river with heavenly fire and flying fire." Li Jing was also full of pre-war excitement at this time. The hand has been firmly pressed on the jade sword, and the whole person has been neatly dressed. He was half-lying behind a small dirt slope at this time, and next to him, Liu Xun and Wang Yanzhang, two young generals, were guarding with a guard battalion. If they hadn't stopped him, Li Jing would have even wanted to move a little further forward.

The sound of thunderous iron hooves galloping came, and suddenly, a large white cloud fell into the eyes. This white is like a white cloud, moving rapidly. This is a cavalry, and what is even more rare is that this cavalry is completely composed of white war horses, and even a black horse, red horse, yellow horse, and flower horse cannot be seen.

All I saw was a patch of white, and the horses were strong and strong. Li Jing remembered what Zhang Hong said last time after Li Maoxun's envoy came to buy ordnance and military horses, when Li Maoxun's envoy bought a thousand horses. The 1,000 horses were selected from the nearly 10,000 war horses owned by Li Jing, and the Uighurs took all the white horses out of the 10,000 horses. Zhang Hong told him about this. He also found the Hugurs interesting.

Now see these three thousand white war horses. Li Jing immediately understood. Most of these horses were bought from him.

The three thousand knights were all on white horses, and even the knights on the horses were all dressed in white robes and armor, and his armor was all painted with a layer of white paint. The flowing cloak was all white, and even the tassel was white.

The banners of the three thousand white horse cavalry were all white, and the black letters on the white flag were the only other colors.

War horses gallop, knights crisscross.

Li Jing had to admit that this cavalry was only from the outside. The momentum is very impactful.

The cavalry waded through the water and did not find the ambushes in the reeds. Li Jing looked at the cavalry that was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but sigh. Liu Xun and Wang Yanzhang next to him were also reminiscing about the impact of this cavalry. Especially after the two of them saw that the main generals of the cavalry they saw just now were actually three young generals who were not much older than them, their eyes revealed a strange brilliance.

The cavalry galloped to Gu'an to help, and then nearly half an hour later, the long-awaited brigade of infantry finally appeared. These infantry kept the battle marching line and ran extremely fast. Facing the shallow river in front of them, they only looked at it without pausing in the slightest. This bit of water is just below your knees. The military situation is urgent, and there is no need to build pontoon bridges at all.

The former army knew that Gao Shunli directly ordered to cross the river. However, although there was no need to build a pontoon bridge, and the crossing was relatively small, the 7,000 infantry had to slow down and slowly wade into the river. When crossing the river, the formation of the infantry, which had been very good, was inevitably a little disrupted at this time.

Groups of soldiers crossed the river, and then they regrouped a little on the other side of the river.

Li Jing's hand holding the jade sword kept clenching, and he kept waiting, waiting for more soldiers to cross the river. "General, almost half of them have crossed the river." Liu Xun reminded Li Jing in a whisper. Because the dam is being built upstream, even if the dam is immediately announced, it will take a while for the water to rush over.

Li Jing nodded thoughtfully, and the hand that clenched the hilt of the sword jerked hard.

Boom!

The sword was unsheathed, and Li Jing swung the sword vigorously and pointed forward, shouting, "Attack!" ”

In the reeds behind the hillside, the sappers of the engineer battalion, who had been waiting for orders, quickly lifted the reed camouflage covering the cannons, revealing the cannons and crossbow arrows below. The artillery and crossbow arrows had already been calibrated in advance, and the target was the river.

Plumes of white smoke rose up, and Zhou Laoliu, the tenth general of the engineer battalion, waved his hand violently, and suddenly the sound of the machine spring sounded, and the artillery thrown in a row was fired in unison. One after another, the flying fire and divine fire reflected each other in the air, and the orange-red flame tail and clear white smoke made the sky change.

In the sound of breaking the sky, Gao Shunli had already crossed half of the river, and was in the center of the river, and hurriedly looked up to see it, only to see that the sky was dark, and the black clay pots that covered the sky and the sun were flying with smoke and fire.

His face turned pale, and he had already thought of a very bad possibility.

"There are ambushes, lie down!"

Regarding this extremely strange and powerful weapon, Gao Shunli has also heard that when encountered, only lying down and scattering can reduce some casualties.

However, although he shouted hoarsely, the soldiers of Nafeizhou were stunned on the spot. Many of them were Turkic and Uighur people, and they had no idea what was going on in the sky, except that they thought it was an ordinary catapult.

One by one, the clay pots fell, and then some erupted into violent noises and rising flames. After some burst, countless broken iron nails and broken porcelain pieces splashed everywhere. And after some burst, countless sporadic flames splattered out.

Soon they all knew about the sufferings of these things, those whose bodies were splashed and their skin was cut, blood flowed, and those who were blind, who had broken their hands and feet, and even had no ears, and even cut their throats and necks, and even those who directly opened their stomachs, were all injured by the flying fire clay pots. There were even some people who were directly deaf by the loud noise, couldn't hear anything, and danced around in horror.

What's even worse is that it was splashed after the explosion of the divine fire canister, and those dotted fires also burned directly in the river, not only igniting the fire, but also everything they touched. Those who caught fire fell into the water, but it didn't do anything. He could only scream in pain, and he remained motionless at the very least.

"Withdraw!" Gao Shunli was lucky that he didn't get hurt at all. In the beginning. He immediately fell into the water. In the end, he even directly blocked a corpse with his throat cut by a broken piece of iron. Blocked a few sparks of fear.

I don't know how many ambushes there are in the enemy, but Gao Shunli didn't shout to kill him.

The other party's figure hasn't been seen yet, they have been killed in a big mess, even if they go ashore, he estimates that the other party must have more powerful killing moves.

But at this time, it is too late to escape. After a short period of confusion, those Youzhou soldiers who were about to retreat to the other side suddenly saw a rumbling sound coming from above. Xiu seems to have thousands of troops coming. They turned their heads in panic and saw a white rush coming, more striking than the white horse cavalry of their front army.

It's water, big water, big water that bursts the levees.

Gao Shunli was speechless in surprise, looking at the water potential, he immediately understood, the other party must have blocked the river in advance to build a dam upstream, and then waited for them to cross half of the army and horses, and then came to attack one and a half crossings. The other party is so ruthless. It's not giving them the slightest chance at all.

The rushing water of the embankment is like a galloping of thousands of horses, and the Milky Way falls in the nine heavens.

With an indomitable momentum. The flood rushed through this section of the ferry in an instant.

The Youzhou soldiers who were in the water were all involved in the water in an instant, and many of the Youzhou soldiers were from Yanzhou, which was the grassland under the Yin Mountain. Many soldiers may have never swam in the water in their entire lives, and when they get caught in the water, they immediately sink into it.

Li Jing also took the opportunity to beat the water dog at this time, and directly ordered a round of dense arrow crossbow storm against those Youzhou soldiers on the bank who had crossed the river, and directly blew the horn of the charge, and thousands of Zhendong troops jumped out of the reeds and directly killed the Youzhou soldiers who were already frightened on the shore.

Those soldiers and horses were not in formation, the command was chaotic, the morale was low, and the people were panicked. In front is the Zhendong army like a wolf and a tiger, and behind is the river that is rushing with water. Those Youzhou soldiers have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

Soon it was divided into small war groups, and then they were shot to death one by one by spears, knives, bows and arrows. In less than half an hour, these soldiers had completely collapsed, and the rest surrendered directly. Although there were still about 3,000 men on the other side, they could only stand on the other side, watching their comrades being slaughtered until they collapsed and surrendered.

By the time about 2,000 of the more than 2,000 people on this side had been killed and less than 1,000 had surrendered, the flood that had been stored in the river had already subsided again. As soon as the water receded, Li Jing immediately waved his troops across the river and killed him directly, and the soldiers and horses on the bank lost their command and did not retreat in time before. After a short battle, half of them were killed, and the rest had to surrender.

While ordering the battlefield to be cleaned up immediately, Li Jing sent people along the river to search for the Youzhou soldiers who were washed down by the river.

Leaving 3,000 people to guard the prisoners and clean up the battlefield, Li Jing led 5,000 Zhendong troops back to Gu'an City.

At this time, there was a big battle under the city of Gu'an, and it was difficult to distinguish between the killings.

The white horse and silver spear Gao Siji led 3,000 cavalry, but he didn't know that the infantry led by his father and uncle had been eaten behind the road, and as soon as he arrived at the city of Gu'an, he immediately launched an attack on Wang Pu. Wang Pu and Shi Shoucheng asked Jiang Ju to lead 2,000 men and horses as the rear to prevent the people and horses in the city from attacking out of the city. The two of them led 8,000 people to turn their heads to face Gao Siji.

However, although Wang Pu had 8,000 men and horses, he couldn't defeat Gao Siji's 3,000 cavalry. With a large number of soldiers and horses, plus some artillery carts left by Li Jing, he barely held on to the current array. But if you continue to fight, you may be defeated at any time. If it weren't for the fact that Li Jing was behind and would come at any time, Wang Pu would have already led his troops to strategically switch.

Fought until it was completely dark, and still did not see Li Jing's soldiers and horses coming, Wang Pudu was already a little desperate, the Zhendong Army and the Liaonan Army had all pressed up, at this time there were less than 7,000 of the 10,000 left, and nearly thirty percent of them died, and the white horse cavalry on the other side had less than a few hundred casualties.

"Wang Deputy Dutong, did Li Jungong deliberately arrange this, sit back and watch the danger of you and me and not help, and want to borrow a knife to kill people?" Shi Shoucheng's whole body was covered in blood, and there was still half a broken arrow in his shoulder socket. But these wounds on his body are nothing, and what really frightens him is that Li Jing has not been there.

He wasn't worried that Li Jing would be defeated by the Youzhou soldiers, what he was really worried about was whether Li Jing would take this opportunity to get rid of these miscellaneous cards by the hands of the Youzhou people. This kind of thought has been tormenting him all his life.

Wang Pu also thought of this possibility, but he kept persuading himself that it was impossible, Li Jing was not that kind of person. Duli Town has already attached Li Jing, and his daughter has also become Li Jing's third wife, and she is about to give birth to children to the Li family, how could Li Jing be an opponent to him at this time.

But the soldiers who kept falling made him have to consider this possibility in his heart. Under the city of Gu'an, it was completely their Duli Town and Liaonan soldiers, and there was not even a single Zhendong Army. If Li Jing sits and watches them fight with this fierce cavalry, it is undoubtedly very possible for Li Jing to appear again.

Am I living in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, or is it just so cruel?

Just when Wang Pu's heart was shaking, a continuous horn suddenly sounded in the north.

"Woooooooooooo ————”

"This is the clarion call of the Zhendong Army, and the county prince has arrived." Wang Pu burst into tears of excitement.

Gao Siji, who has a white horse and silver spear, has already become a red horse and red spear, and the war horse and armor are stained red with blood, and the silver tassels on his bright silver spear have all become red tassels. His father's infantry had not arrived for a long time, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart. But in the midst of this battlefield, it is difficult for him to retreat. When the battle reaches this point, it will already be a mess, and whoever can't hold on first may lose the battle.

He had been insisting, hoping to wait until his father and uncle arrived with their troops, and he had already seen that the troops and horses on the opposite side had suffered heavy casualties and could no longer withstand it, and with a little more force, they would collapse.

Almost, almost enough, he was able to completely crush this army, and then turn to his father.

But just like that, he couldn't defeat the other party.

The whining horn sounded, and with the most glimmer of light between heaven and earth, Gao Siji did not welcome his father, but ushered in another army that was rushing towards him. They had come from the way he had come, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

They set up an ambush by the river, first sparing their own cavalry, and then intercepting their father's large infantry horses. Now I see that my father, who has 7,000 soldiers and horses, has been defeated in the hands of this army of soldiers and horses.

Li Jing jumped on his horse and crossed the spear, he had already seen the corpses all over the battlefield, waved his lance, and roared: "Kill!" ”

Hearing Li Jing's attack order, Liu Xun and Wang Yanzhang, who had already seen the white-robed generals who rushed left and right in the battlefield, both slammed their horses' bellies, one waved their lances, the other raised their guns, and rode their horses straight to kill the three white-robed and silver-speared brothers in the battlefield!!
