Chapter 753: Will Meet a Good Talent
The Shatuo generals on duty this night, one is called Xue Atan, and the other is called An Xiuxiu, both of whom are Li Siyuan's left and right commands, and both have the courage of ten thousand people. Both of them are only in their early twenties, and their backgrounds are very similar, both of them joined the army in their teens after being a Shatuo general. When Li Keyong first opposed the Tang Dynasty, they had just joined the army, and they were just recruits at that time, and a few years later, they had become fierce generals among the younger generation of Shatuo.
At the beginning of the battle, Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao two brothers thousands of death squads returned to Daibei to find Li Keyong, but only eighteen horses returned to Li Keyong's side, Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu were one of them. Since then, both of them have become Li Siyuan's confidants and personal guards, and have gradually risen to the rank of officer commander, and now, they have experienced dozens of battles and become the left and right commanders of the rampage.
In addition, there is another one, but it is the Marquis of Duyu this time, who is in charge of military discipline, and it is Shi Jingsi, a white-robed general who was born in Li Keyong's personal guard.
After Guo Chongtao led 10,000 soldiers into the pass, there were only 5,000 soldiers left in the military capital, of which 3,000 were Li Siyuan's rampage, the remaining more than 1,000 were wounded soldiers, and 1,000 were Shi Jingsi's Marquis Yu's personal soldiers.
Tonight, Li Siyuan went to bed very early.
Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu were drinking wine and barbecue in the night, chatting about women and wine. Shi Jingsi had just stripped off his clothes and was jumping into the big water tank to prepare for a bath, when he suddenly heard the sound of an alarm bell coming from the closing door.
At that moment, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he ran out of the yard with his shirtless iron bones next to him, and his own soldiers had already brought the war horse. He jumped on his horse shirtless and took off his horned bow. So he rushed directly to the east gate. One hundred of his guards immediately mounted their horses. As he rushed over. There were more soldiers coming behind them.
At this time, Dongguanmen had already become a mess.
The Marquis of Handan and the commander of the brigade cavalry, Fu Cun, with his carefully selected five hundred elite men, dressed in sheepskin and mixed with the sheep, successfully approached the city wall, entered the city gate, and raided and seized the gate.
In the explosion of thunderbolts, Han Jiahou and Yang Shihou, the commander of the Flying Cavalry Army, who got the signal, immediately led the 5,000 light cavalry of the Flying Cavalry Army and the rest of the Brigade Cavalry Army to rush towards the military capital pass. At first, the Shatuo soldiers defending the city also wanted to recapture the gate. It's a pity that the Fu Cun came prepared, although at the beginning there were only 500 soldiers guarding the gate. But the repeater they carried was extremely sharp, one crossbow and seven arrows, this kind of crossbow newly developed by the Ordnance Division, although it had various shortcomings, but he also had one of the biggest advantages, that is, he could shoot seven arrows in a row without stopping to load, which made five hundred people instantly equivalent to a long-range attack of three thousand people.
And after shooting these seven arrows, they don't need to spend time filling them up. They also brought thunderbolts. Each of them carried twenty thunderbolts, which were more than crossbow arrows. Although the range is much shorter, it is only more than ten zhang of attack distance, but the power is even more amazing. Fu Cun grabbed the gate, guarded the door, cut off the suspension bridge cable, and then used the corpses of the Shatuo soldiers and sheep to quickly pile up several bunkers, hiding behind and throwing thunderbolts.
The defenders who closed the door rushed a few waves, but instead left corpses all over the ground, and suddenly became timid, one by one, the soul of the Shatuo soldiers was scattered, and their mouths were reciting the names of the gods and goddesses of the three Qings, Haotian God, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Rulai Buddha, etc., praying that this nightmare would wake up early.
Several officers on duty wanted to retreat away from this hell, but in an instant, they saw that General Shi Jingsi, Marquis of Duyu, was shirtless and led the crowd to meet him, and then a moment later, Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu, the two commanders, also led their cavalry to rush forward.
Suddenly, the officers did not dare to abandon their robes, so they had to bite the bullet and turn around and run back.
Fu Cun did not lead many soldiers and horses, but it was more than enough to guard a gate. Occupying a special terrain, relying on sharp and sufficient firearms and crossbow arrows, it forms a staggered coverage of different firepower from far and near, and the area of about ten zhang inside the city gate has completely become a death zone. Whether it was infantry or cavalry, with shields on their heads, or directly charged, no one could rush through this distance at all.
Shi Jingsi watched the enemy troops who came by surprise guarding the gate, but did not enter the city, so he judged that the number of enemy troops was not large. But he immediately estimated that this might just be a vanguard special operations force, and there must be a large force behind. In any case, the gate must be taken back, otherwise, when the enemy's large army arrives, the army will definitely not be able to hold the pass.
With fire in his eyes, he roared, "Rush over, rush over, crush them, take back the gates!" ”
Shi Jingsi reacted quickly, but he came in a hurry, with less than two hundred horsemen, and he didn't have time to form a formation, and even many of his subordinates were like him, and they still handed over their upper bodies, and they didn't even have time to put on their armor. The more than 100 fierce Yuhou guards fired a few arrows at the enemy in a disorderly manner, and they had already rushed to within fifty paces.
Shi Jingsi has always served as Li Keyong's personal guard general, usually always wearing a silver armor and a white robe, and he is tall, handsome and mighty, over time, the army will call him the white robe Shi Jingsi, a brave and unparalleled general. When it comes to battle command, he may not be as good as Li Siyuan, but if he is simply compared to the riding and archery fighting skills that step down on the horse, Li Siyuan is slightly inferior to him. At this time, he let out a roar, picked up the bright silver iron spear, held the gun in one hand, and galloped towards the enemy formation at the city gate, and stabbed the left arm of a brigade cavalry sergeant, and took advantage of the situation, and picked out the brigade cavalry soldier who had not had time to react from the corpse pile and fell under his horse.
Xue Atan and An Xiuxiu also roared, one grabbed a Xuanhua axe, the other took a long-handled golden gourd, and jumped into front of the brigade cavalry like the wind.
Fu Cun behind the corpse pile bunker saw that these Shatuo generals were fast, and in a blink of an eye, they had already rushed directly into the formation, and they were extremely brave, killing several subordinates in an instant. Immediately furious, he raised his two-handed sword and jumped out violently, slashing at Shi Jingsi's horse's hooves.
Shi Jingsi reacted quickly, raised his gun to block down, and exchanged swords and guns. A burst of sparks. Both of them were shocked. Feel the power of the other person.
With Shi Jingsi and the three of them taking the lead, more and more Shatuo cavalry charged with war horses, broke into front of the Qin army, and fought with them. The two armies were mixed together, and the thunderbolt could not be used for a while, and the two sides were brutally killed, and the Qin army rode against each other, which inevitably gradually fell into decline.
In the midst of a light rumbling earth. Outside the gate, an iron cavalry rushed to the storm.
Fu Cun finally showed a smile on his face, the large army had arrived, there was no suspense in this battle, they were victorious.
Hundreds of elites of the brigade cavalry gave way one after another, and Yang Shihou took the lead and galloped with a horse lance.
The elite of the Flying Cavalry, who rushed towards like a flood, slammed into the Shatuo cavalry who were exposed in front of them due to the sudden abrupt abandonment of the elite cavalry.
After a fierce collision that made people's teeth ache and tinnitus and dizziness, hundreds of Shatuo cavalry were destroyed, and they broke like papier-mâché windows.
Yang Shihou has already rushed through. He didn't even look back, but continued forward with the cavalry. Forward, all the way to Kannai.
The two Qin generals set their eyes on An Xiuxiu, and one of them shot several arrows at him, and he finally escaped with his superb horsemanship, and even had to use the stunt of the iron plate bridge and hiding in the kick. But he had just shot those arrows, but two more officers of the Qin army had already slapped their horses and killed them, one of them stabbed his spear into his waist, he patted the horse's head, and his beloved war horse immediately jumped lightly in tacit understanding, avoiding the stabbing shot. But the other man was already dancing a thirteen-knotted steel whip, slamming into his face with the sound of the wind.
An Xiuxiu was shocked into a cold sweat, and between the lightning and flint, he instinctively pulled out his saber and went up, only to feel that the tiger's mouth shook violently, and the young officer who seemed to be just a junior colonel actually smashed his saber away at once.
Everywhere around him were the cavalry of the Qin army pouring into the city, these people were extremely brave, no worse than the Shatuo cavalry. An Xiuxiu looked at the subordinates who were constantly falling around him, and did not dare to fight, so he hurriedly lowered his body, kicked the horse's belly, and galloped the horse. Several of his guards rushed up to block the Qin officer who made the whip, but the other one who made the bow seemed to have recognized him as the general of the Shatuo and got rid of his guards, just biting tightly.
An Xiuxiu was a little frightened, and he was a little flustered, which was something that had never happened before. But these Qin cavalry behind him were too fierce, and on their bodies, he actually saw a fierce tiger and wolf.
He pulled his bow and arrow, turned his head and shot an arrow at the pursuing Qin officer, and the arrow hit, but the officer was not the same as the person, relying on the feather arrow stuck in his shoulder and dangling, looking at his appearance, the arrow did not hurt him at all.
At the moment, I couldn't help but be more anxious, and in my busy schedule, I found that Shi Jingsi and Xue Atan were also in a bitter battle. The white-robed Shi Jingsi's naked upper body, covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own, was surrounded by seven or eight Qin soldiers at this time. Xue Atan's situation is not optimistic, his left shoulder seems to have been shot, and his movements are a little sluggish, but his momentum has not diminished. Throughout the battlefield, he could be heard yelling while facing the battle.
He secretly complained, tonight he and Xue Atan were a little relaxed, and after explaining the matter of the night to the following, the two of them drank while barbecue, and drank a lot of wine. What's more, there are more and more Qin troops, and soon there are galloping Qin troops everywhere in the small pass, and the Shatuo soldiers are caught off guard, defeated and retreated, and they are struggling to support, but in the ranks they are struggling with, the thunderbolt explosions of the Qin army still sound from time to time, which makes the morale of the Shatuo army close to collapse.
Li Siyuan governed the army, the military law was very strict, although the current situation, the Qin army came prepared, and there were many soldiers, but Li Siyuan did not order a retreat, the generals were still fighting hard, and he didn't care about escaping alone. It's just that there are more and more Qin troops, no matter how he runs, he can't get rid of the pursuit of the Qin army. He wanted to turn back to face the battle, but after the strength of the wine, his body became more and more unbearable, and he didn't dare to turn back.
However, his poor performance tonight did not affect his subordinates. Hengchong is the army under the personal command of Li Siyuan, which is the elite of the elite of the Shatuo army, and is called the four elites of Shatuo along with the Yi'er Army, the Tielin Army, and the Black Crow Army. His flag bearer had not been able to follow him, and was now following behind his lieutenant. The black banner of the left battalion of the rampant capital has been fluttering on the battlefield, gathering and directing the Shatuo army to fight.
Soon, the flag fell, and the deputy flag took over the flag.
The deputy commander was also killed by the Qin army, but there was Yu Hou in the top position.
The deputy flag bearer is also dead, but the flag has not fallen, and the flag bearer has taken over the flag!
Rampage is quite brave and tenacious, and has always desperately protected this banner. Even Yang Shihou and Fu Cun in the distant battle saw this situation, and couldn't help but admire in their hearts, they really deserved to be the elite of the Shatuo army, if it was an ordinary feudal army, or even a Shence army, in such a battle, it might have already collapsed. How is it possible, the flag-bearer and commander have changed several times, and they still maintain the flag and the command is not chaotic.
The Shatuo army was tenacious, and the Qin army was also brave.
The Shatuo army wanted to keep this banner, but the Qin army continued to launch fierce attacks on the banner, trying to kill the generals and capture the flag!
The two armies were killed, although the Shatuo army was tenacious, but after all, it was outnumbered, and it was taken down and killed into the city, and the morale dropped for a while. On the contrary, the Qin army became more and more courageous the more they fought, and they had continuously oppressed the Shatuo army to Guanxi City and retreated.
At this time, Li Siyuan finally gathered the rest of the men and horses to kill, and An Xiuxiu was able to escape. Li Siyuan rescued the embarrassed An Xiuxiu, and was about to pick up Shi Jingsi and Xue Atan, but unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a violent shaking under his feet, and then a whistling sound sounded overhead, followed by violent explosions one after another, and then there was a buzz in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything.
Li Siyuan turned his head meaningfully to look at the formation behind him, but saw that the team that had just assembled behind him was already a group of people on their backs, a mess, countless stumps, broken arms, broken knives and guns, and even the corpses of war horses, and fragments of armor, scattered in the air
The team that had just been assembled was completely dispersed!
Fu Cun put down his hands covering his ears, shook his buzzing head, and watched with satisfaction that under the salvo of twenty flying thunder cannons, the team that Shatuo Army had just barely assembled collapsed directly, a thick smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he shouted loudly to the somewhat stunned subordinates next to him: "What the hell are you still stunned, wait for the reward to be issued before the battle, and rush with Lao Tzu!" ”
The Qin army, who came back to his senses, raised their spears one after another, raised their horizontal knives, roared in unison, took big strides, and rushed straight over! (To be continued......)
