Chapter 400: Two Taibao vs. Three Disciples
(Thank you for your monthly pass support, thank you for your monthly passes, thank you!) )
After the white horse silver spear Gao Siji and the iron spear Wang Yanzhang led their respective cavalry to arrive, they immediately took advantage of the new arrival and directly launched a wave of counter-charge. The Shatuo people were rushed by this, and they didn't know how many people and horses came to the road in the dark night.
I only heard the continuous shouting and killing outside, the iron hooves were like thunder, and there were more war drums and horns under the pass, and the iron whistle continued, and Chen Tieshan refused to retreat to the death. However, at this time, the Shatuo people were also panicked, and hundreds of soldiers of the Zhendong Army fought with them for half the night, and at this time, they dared to stay when reinforcements came.
Wang Tie Lance charged ahead, one horse took the lead, two iron spears smashed right and stabbed right, and there was no enemy in front of the horse. Gao Siji and Liu Xun had no choice at this time, Wang Yanzhang had already rushed directly into the enemy group with his soldiers, like a tiger entering a flock. At this time, if they don't keep up, if they wait for the Shatuo people to react, their reinforcements are only a few hundred, and it will be dangerous. With a sense of aftermath, the three of them formed this huge arrowhead, roaring straight into the formation of the Shatuo people.
In one go, Chen Tieshan tried to reorganize a counterattack, but his insistence was instead targeted by Wang Tiegun, and he rushed directly to the front. Chen Tieshan came to fight with a gun, the two sides fought several times, Gao Siji and Liu Xun arrived again, but Chen Tieshan was defeated and left. Liu Xun recognized that this person was the main general of the enemy army under this pass, so he fled, and directly knocked on the horse's ears with the mallet, and the war horse cooperated for a long time and had a tacit understanding, and he jumped forward directly and leaped over at once, jumping more than a foot away at once, taking advantage of this momentum. Liu Xun also used all his strength. Straight flat-end lance. With extreme speed, he stabbed Chen Tieshan in the back.
The three-foot lance stabbed directly to the end, piercing from the back and revealing from the chest.
The huge impact force directly brought Chen Tieshan up from the horse, and his corpse stuck at the plot after passing through the spear, and then the lance bent slightly, and then slammed again. The elasticity of the lance directly ejected Chen Tieshan's corpse from the blade and fell into the crowd.
Now that the main general is dead, the Shatuo soldiers have no heart to fight again, and just blindly run towards the south.
Liu Xunsanzhen led hundreds of cavalry to follow, just like a pack of wolves driving sheep, driving them to constantly rush towards the pass, scattering the Shatuo people's own soldiers and horses.
was still confronting Li Cunxiao and them, and no one was able to subdue anyone, Li Sizhao, who heard the news, his face was as blue as iron. I didn't expect that the city would be taken away by dozens of people. It has not been recaptured until now, but has allowed another enemy reinforcement to arrive. Even the entire gatehouse was taken away, and now even the Chen Tieshan brothers were killed in battle.
"Take down these eighteen assassins immediately, and then take back the gate with the whole army!" Suddenly, a shout sounded, Li Sizhao turned around, but saw that it was his stepmother, and Liu suddenly appeared. Next to him, his brother-in-law Li Siyuan was also on the side.
"Why did Madame come back?"
"How can I leave when something so big has happened at this gate." Not long after Liu Yunniang left Taixi Pass, someone came to report that an assassin had broken in, killed Liu Zhijie, and had captured the three Li Kexiu brothers as hostages.
After hearing that Li Sizhao had thrown a rat trap and could not deal with it because there were hostages in the enemy's hands, Liu resolutely and Li Siyuan rushed back with eight hundred horsemen.
She just didn't expect that the situation here was worse than she expected.
"Ma'am, the three generals are in the hands of the Assassins!" Li Sizhao said gloomily.
Liu said: "I know that the three uncles of the Dao are in the hands of the assassins, but now there are more than 5,000 brothers in addition to the three uncles. First the Assassins appeared, then the city gates, and now enemy reinforcements. It was to be expected that most of the enemy would soon appear. If we continue to hesitate like this, not only will we not be able to save the three uncles, but even all of us will not be able to escape. Listen to me, take down these three assassins immediately, and then go all out to retake Guancheng. ”
"Go, no matter what happens, I'll be responsible for the last!" Liu was anxious.
Li Sizhao was still hesitating, Li Siyuan had already received the order immediately, turned to the eight hundred riders behind him and said, "Follow me!" Let's go retake the gates. ”
Eight hundred horsemen rode away, and Li Sizhao had no choice but to order Li Cunxiao and others to do so.
Li Cunxiao's eighteen people had already retreated into the hall of the town general's mansion at this time, with Li Kexiu and the three of them as hostages. Li Sizhao attacked, but Li Kezhang was tied up, grabbed by Li Cunxiao in his hands, blocked in front of the door, and the attacking Shatuo people were afraid and attacked for a while, but Li Cunxiao stabbed more than a dozen people to death.
On the other side, Li Siyuan rushed to Guancheng with 800 cavalry, and saw many defeated soldiers being driven by the Zhendong army on the way.
Hurriedly ordered to line up to meet the enemy, and shot the position with bows and arrows.
"No one is allowed to storm the formation, and the besiegers will be shot to death on the spot!" Seeing that those defeated soldiers were driven directly to the front of the battle, Li Siyuan shouted.
But those defeated soldiers were not elites, and they panicked at this time, and they just wanted to escape into most of Li Siyuan's department, and they didn't care about a lot.
Seeing that the warning was ineffective, Li Siyuan shouted: "Those who take twenty steps in front of the formation, all of them will be killed by random arrows, and let go of the arrows!" ”
After a rain of arrows, more than a dozen people who rushed to the front were suddenly hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
This time, the rebels finally came to their senses. Storming one's own military formation is a capital offense!
There were interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and these Shatuo soldiers had no way to retreat at this time, so they had to stop and turn around in front of the formation, and began to form a loose array, turning back to face the battle.
Liu Xun couldn't help frowning when he saw that he couldn't drive the enemy to disrupt the enemy formation, it seems that the people of Shatuo are not all generals like Chen Tieshan.
The two armies were engaged in a fierce battle at the moment, on one side was Liu Xun and more than 400 cavalry, who were newly gaining momentum, and wanted to rush directly into the pass and break the enemy. On the other hand, Li Siyuan temporarily received the order of Mrs. Liu, and now he is intent on fighting to the death without the military order, and he is bent on breaking the enemy and recapturing Guancheng.
Not long after, Li Sizhao also got the order of Mrs. Liu and led another one to come.
"The three generals have taken it back?" Li Siyuan saw Li Sizhao appear, and hurriedly asked.
Li Sizhao said a little gloomily: "The assassin refused to surrender, and also set fire to the mansion, the town general's mansion was burned to the ground, and the three generals and the assassin all died in the fire, and they couldn't even find a little ash." ”
Li Siyuan didn't expect it to be such a result, the nine brothers of the father-in-law, when they started the army before, Kejian and Kerang, who stayed in Chang'an City, had been killed, and now there are no more three here.
"Don't think about those useless things, it's important to get Guancheng back first. Madame judged that most of the enemy was likely to arrive at once. Li Sizhao gritted his teeth, his face angry. Although Li Sizhao is now Li Keyong's adopted son, he has actually followed Li Kemao since he was a child and is closer to Li Kerou. Now that this adoptive father is dead, how does this make him not angry.
Li Sizhao and Li Siyuan shot angrily, and there were many soldiers and horses at the moment, and they no longer had to worry about the future, and they fought more and more fiercely.
On the contrary, Liu Xun rode more than 400 horses, and after rushing and killing for a while, he gradually fell into a bitter battle, outnumbered and gradually difficult to support. In the end, he was forced by the two brothers Li Sizhao to retreat continuously, and retreated to the humble position under the gate. The people were sleepy and tired, and they had to get off the horse after the last one, and on the basis of Liu Xun's original car formation, a circle of corpses was piled up as a defensive position.
"Hold on a little longer, the county lord is coming!"
The dawn of dawn appeared, and the light of dawn illuminated the earth.
At this point, Li Cunxiao still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and even the 400 people brought by Wang Tiegun and Gao Siji were almost lost, and behind the position, there were less than 100 people left, and almost all of them were wounded. At this time, even if you retreat, it will be too late, and only by persevering may you have a glimmer of life.
Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao on the opposite side also admired this point of the Zhendong Army very much, and the soldiers were almost gone, but the four-pole flag behind them still did not fall.
"Can the general on the other side report his name, I admire a few of them very much, and I can't bear to see you fall here. Why don't you put down your swords and guns and join my Shatuo army. Although he is only a young general, he is willing to recommend several people in front of his father-in-law. Li Siyuan shouted in front of the formation, he had already led his troops to surround this place, ready to launch the most rear-end charge. However, the performance of those generals was really amazing, and he couldn't help but want to recruit them. The damage caused by these Zhendong troops was too great, and the more they got to this point, if they fought the trapped beasts, his men would inevitably have more casualties.
"Boy, report your own name first!" Wang Tiegun leaned against a cold corpse, his face tired, but his expression was calm, without the slightest hint of fear.
"Under Li Siyuan, next to me is my brother-in-law Li Sizhao, and both of my brothers are the sons of Datong Li Liuhou." Li Siyuan said loudly.
Wang Tiegun hid behind the bunker made of corpses, and said in a loud voice: "We are the four brothers of life and death, my eldest brother is known as Liu Xun, a hundred steps of wisdom, and the second brother is known as Gao Siji, a white horse and silver gun, and a certain envoy with two iron guns, known as Wang Yanzhang, who was known as the iron gun general, and who sneaked into the pass with eighteen horsemen before, that is our fourth brother, Li Cunxiao, who is known as the tiger general. Recruitment is exempted, we are all protégés of Li Jungong, the envoy of the Zhendong Army. Lao Tzu only asks you, where is our fourth brother now? ”
Hearing that these four were actually Li Jing's protégés, Li Siyuan sighed, no wonder they were so powerful, it turned out to be Li Jing's protégés. At this time, he also knew that there was no hope for Lu Dao's recruitment, and he said a little unexpectedly: "The fourth brother you said sneaked into the pass to kill my general Shatuo, and also kidnapped the three younger brothers of Li Liuhou, we kindly persuaded him to surrender, but he set fire to himself and the three generals and burned them to death. Since you don't want to surrender, then we brothers will send you three brothers to meet him underground!" Offensive! ”
The horn of the Shatuo people's attack sounded melodiously, and then the horn of the Shatuo people also sounded outside the city, and the horns of the Shatuo people came and went.
Dawn finally came, and the five thousand Zhendong Army led by Li Jing arrived at the dawn of the Taixi Military City! (To be continued......)
