【Chapter 977】 Kill the Wolf, Bloody Battle Wolf Mountain (continued)
Seeing that the battle situation was not good, Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu glanced at each other, their expressions became more and more solemn, and they invariably set their eyes on the proud figure on the back of the horse.
Li Li didn't notice the eager and expectant gaze from behind him, or that his current attention was not behind him at all, but in front of him, on the battlefield of the two armies fighting in front of him.
The problem of insufficient troops is objective, and it is inevitable that various difficulties will be encountered in fighting in different places. Li Li had expected this and was prepared, but what he didn't expect was that Bandun and many tribes would be so reckless, and they would pull teenage children and tribal elders who were nearly half a hundred years old into the battlefield, and act as the front army, charging at the front line. In fact, it was intended to send them to death.
Perhaps the commander of the barbarian army, Badun, and the leaders of the tribes had no mercy in their hearts, and they did not think that there was anything wrong with letting the children and the old man rush into battle, but the Han cavalry had no conscience. In the face of childish children and old people with gray sideburns, the swords in the hands of the soldiers of the Han army were extremely heavy, and they invisibly lost their previous courage and vigor, and their skills became much sluggish. Originally, it was possible to slash the enemy rushing at the opposite side with a single sword, but at the moment it seemed that it was powerless, and it was often necessary to parry many attacks, until there was no way to endure it and there was no way to retreat, and then it was possible to swing the knife and kill the enemy -- a child or an old man.
It was precisely because of the compassion of the soldiers of the Han army that they struggled, fought extremely hard, were encircled, and unreasonably increased unnecessary casualties. They could not bear to do anything to the children and elders of the tribe, but these children and old men who rode horses and wielded knives did not have a trace of mercy, and were fierce and vicious. No mercy. Every time they killed a Han cavalryman, they would roar excitedly, showing off their youth or strength. Excited red and radiant. It was these diametrically opposed two mentalities that prompted the Han army to gradually fall into passivity, being besieged in the center of the battlefield by barbarian cavalry nearly three times that of the Han army, completely losing the impact of the war horse, and also losing the cavalry's due advantage of rushing and killing, and was in a dilemma.
Watching the barbarian army composed of half-grown children and half-hundreds. Entangled the brave and combative Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Li Li's mood was extremely heavy, and his pupils were filled with a fierce and cold cold light. His right hand was tightly grasping the Jin Qi battle knife, and the horse under his crotch was eager to try. The Han people are a state of etiquette that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety and takes filial piety as the basis for scholars. It is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with filial piety. Women and children know it, young and old. Over time, no matter who they face, as long as they are children and the elderly, the Han people will always give them the love and respect they deserve. However, this time, in the face of these tribes who did not know what filial piety was and only worshiped the strong, the Han army encountered unprecedented challenges. It is not the heroism and tenacity that are challenged, nor the cooperation and tacit understanding of the cavalry. It is to challenge their psychological bottom line, the root of filial piety.
The barbarian army used half-grown children and half-centenarians as strikers. Fighting against the always brave Xiliang Iron Cavalry, this move is extremely vicious. In Li Li's eyes, this is like the later generations of Japanese who used the Han people to block bullets, and the barbarian army was more ruthless and vicious, they sent their own tribesmen's children and old people to the forefront of the battlefield, forced them to go to the battlefield, and coerced them to rush forward without their lives. This?????? It's really despicable, shameless, and inhumane!
At a certain moment, Li Li even felt that he was wrong to lead the army to the east to conquer the grassland, and even forced the barbarian army to pull underage children and dying old people into the battlefield, what is the meaning of this kind of war, is it too cruel to do so? However, when he saw the excited expressions of these barbarian children and old men after killing the soldiers of the Han army, Li Li was deeply shocked and enraged.
It's okay for these children to not know what kindness is, but these barbarian old men who are over half a hundred years old actually don't have the slightest mercy, is it still necessary for such a tribe to save zài? The old man still does not know compassion and mercy, let alone children? Passed down from generation to generation, there will never be peace in the world!
At this moment, Li Li was completely enraged and really moved to kill.
"Where is Tian Yu?" Just when Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu were staring at Li Li's back, Li Li suddenly shouted loudly.
"Weichen is here, I don't know what the lord commands?" Tian Yu stepped forward in response and arched his hand.
"General Ben ordered you to stay here and command the infantry to fight, and there must be no mistakes!"
"No, Weichen takes the order!" Tian Yu's expression was shocked, and he responded respectfully.
"Shi Ah obeys! This general ordered you to protect the safety of the military division, not to leave the left and right for a moment, if the military division has a slight mistake, come to see you! Li Lilema turned around, looked at Shi Ah with a solemn expression, and ordered in a deep voice.
"No! The last will obey! Shi Ah bowed.
Li Li bowed slightly, then turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang, nodded to him, and then ordered Tian Yu: "Immediately beat the drum to help, blow the poisonous dragon horn, and order our soldiers to kill them all without leaving a living mouth!" ”
"Ahh Zhuge Liang exclaimed, surprised and inexplicably waved his hand: "Don't blow the trumpet!" The poisonous dragon is the first taboo in our army, as soon as the poisonous dragon sounds, the blood flows like a river, and it is all killed, and the blood stains hundreds of miles. Since it was included in the military discipline, it has only been sounded once, and that was the battle of the Blue Wolf Valley in the past, killing 100,000 barbarian troops in one fell swoop. After the war, the lord had a strict order that the poisonous dragon should not be lightly touched until it was forced to ??????" Before he finished speaking, under Li Li's undoubted fierce gaze, Zhuge Liang suddenly closed his voice and didn't dare to say more.
"Yan Rou, Qi Zhou, and Xian Yuyin came out of the ranks, led their own soldiers, and rushed into battle with me!"
Yan Rou and the others, who received the military order, immediately led their own soldiers to ride their horses out of the battle, and quickly formed a sharp arrow formation, and the horse and the heavy sword stood behind Li Li. At this time, Dan saw Li Li leaping in front of the horse, raised the Jin Qi war knife high, and shouted: "Beat the drum?????? Trumpet! All the soldiers will be killed with me! ”
"Knock, knock, knock??????" The sound of war drums sounded like a sound, one overshadowed another, and then they were connected together, and the earth rumbled loudly.
"Woo-woo, roar??????" The poisonous dragon's horn roared suddenly, at first it resembled the whining of a bull's horn, but when the horn was completely blown, it let out a huge roar like a dragon's roar, low and long, covering every corner of more than ten miles, with a long echo and enduring.
There are only two poisonous dragon horns in the Xiliang army, one large and one small. The larger one was longer than the horn, and its sound was low and long; The smaller one was only an inch long, and its voice was extremely high-pitched and piercing. This pair of poisonous dragons is the horns of the Hantan poisonous dragon, which is carefully polished into horns, and after blowing, the sound is unique, the penetrating power is very strong, and it has a special effect on all animals. In particular, it has a huge impact on large animals such as war horses, cattle and sheep, which can prompt these beasts to panic, stay away from the horns of the poisonous dragon, and run as far away as possible; Otherwise, after a long time, these beasts that hear the poisonous dragon will fall into a state of madness, fearless and rampant.
As Zhuge Liang said, the first appearance of the poisonous dragon horn was in the battle of the Green Wolf Valley, and it was actually the first attempt. The results were outstanding, far beyond the expectations of anyone in the know. Five thousand fire oxen went on a rampage, brutally crushing the 110,000 iron horsemen under the command of the 110,000 Yu Fu Luo, and pursued them all the way for more than ten miles until the fire ox died of exhaustion.
In that battle, none of the 5,000 fire oxen turned around and turned back halfway, and all of them went forward bravely until they died. This is counterintuitive. It stands to reason that even if the tail of the fire ox catches fire, it can turn around, and even turn around and reverse the Xiliang Iron Rider under Zhou Yu's tent, but the fact is that these fire bulls rushed forward frantically, and none of the fire bulls turned back halfway from beginning to end. This is because after the Fire Bull Array was launched, there was always a poisonous dragon horn behind the Fire Bull that kept sounding, forcing the Fire Bull not to dare to turn back, and could only rush forward like crazy. And because the army of Fuluo desperately blocked, they finally drove these fire bulls crazy, and kept chasing the barbarian army until they died of exhaustion.
After a lapse of four years, the poisonous dragon horn sounded again, and the low whining sound with the dragon's roar that only animals could understand, instantly spread throughout the entire battlefield, causing the battlefield that was originally in the middle of fierce battles to change suddenly.
"Boom, boom!"
At the moment when the poisonous dragon's horn sounded, the horse carried Li Li into the battlefield at lightning speed, and the generals such as Yan Rou, Qi Zhou, and Xian Yuyin, who followed Li Li to fight, and their personal soldiers were also carried by their crotch mounts and rushed into battle like crazy. The speed was as fast as the wind swept by, and the speed was comparable to the horse under Li Li's crotch, so that more than ten of his own soldiers were thrown out by the war horse in an instant, and three of them were trampled to death by the war horse behind, and the rest fell to pieces, lost their souls, and did not know what was happening.
Li Li and other more than 1,000 war horses are still like this, one by one the war horses are like startled horses, rushing madly to the battlefield, not to mention the more than 200,000 war horses in the fierce battle on the battlefield?
But seeing that a moment after the poisonous dragon horn sounded, hundreds of thousands of war horses that were fighting to the death suddenly screamed and neighed, and the neighing of the horses was earth-shattering. At that moment, at least 100,000 war horses rose up, standing upright, looking up to the sky and neighing; The huge roar swept across the battlefield, resounding through the huge White Wolf Mountain, soaring straight into the sky, roaring into the sky. It was this momentary sudden change that caused more than 100,000 soldiers of the two armies to fall off their horses unexpectedly, and the battlefield that was originally in the middle of a fierce battle was suddenly frozen.
Immediately, with the sound of "booming" horses' hooves and the deafening neighing of war horses, the war horses standing upright with their heads held high suddenly fell, their hooves flew on their feet, turned around and ran, bowing their heads and running with their necks stiffened. At this moment, all the frightened war horses fled in one direction, unprecedentedly unprecedented, overwhelming, rampage along the way, destroying an obstacle in front of them, and sweeping a qiē. And the direction in which more than 100,000 war horses fled -- was the rear of the Chinese army where Badun and many barbarian leaders were located, because behind them was the only passage in the eastern wilderness except for the western mountain road where the poisonous dragon's horn was located.
At the same time, nearly 100,000 soldiers of the two armies who had just fallen from their horses had no chance to get up after they landed. Almost as they struggled to turn over, they were trampled on by their own horses, either dead or wounded, and then completely submerged under the hooves of tens of thousands of horses, merging with the soil beneath them.
