【Chapter 664】 A Ride on the Dust (Part II)
"Traitor, stop!"
"Li thief, you just want to kill me Cao Cao, Cao is standing here, you have the courage to kill me!"
Just as Li Li raised his right arm lightly and was about to swing his sword to kill Cao Hong, a voice suddenly came from the Cao army fifty paces ahead, and then a medium-sized man wearing a dark red robe and a red tasseled helmet slowly separated the soldiers beside him and walked towards the front of the battle step by step.
When he was more than twenty steps away from the front of the formation, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted: "Li Thief's heart is like a snake and scorpion, and his methods are extremely cruel, once we fall into the hands of Li Thief, we will definitely die without a place to be buried!" Tonight, I, Cao Cao, swear to live and die together with all the soldiers, and would rather be broken than broken, and never die. Kill all the soldiers with me! ”
"Live and die together, never die! Kill--"
Seeing that the lord "Cao Cao" took the lead in the battle with a sword in hand, nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Cao army were suddenly excited, shouting slogans, rushing forward, and rushing towards Li Li who was blocked in the middle of the plank road.
"Huh? Is this Cao Cao? ”
Hearing that "Cao Cao" finally couldn't help jumping out by himself, Li Li's expression was shocked, and he watched the rather imposing "Cao Cao" lead the crowd to rush to the front. But seeing that "Cao Cao" more than 20 steps away was really of medium stature, the same as the figure in his impression, wearing a red tasseled helmet on his head and a dark red robe draped over his shoulders. However, the red tasseled helmet seemed to be a little too large, covering the forehead tightly, only the eyes and nose were exposed, and the collar of the brocade robe inside the armor was turned out. He also covered his chin and beard, so that he covered most of his cheeks, and his costume was very strange.
This made Li Li faintly feel that the outfit of "Cao Cao" seemed to be a little inappropriate. It looks awkward, and I feel that "Cao Cao" shouldn't have the courage to fight face-to-face with himself, is this simply looking for death!
In addition, since Cao Cao has the courage to take the initiative to stand up and lead the crowd to fight, why should he half-hide and hide his head and tail? Isn't this self-deception and self-deception? It's not that time. Cao Cao still didn't give up, and he still wanted to hide his true colors, hoping to escape from the valley in disguise and mixed with ordinary foot soldiers?
This is naïve! Isn't it clear to him himself? As long as he Cao Cao shows up, don't think about hiding back, even if he doesn't die tonight, he will definitely be captured alive.
"Bang!" His eyes were staring at the approaching "Cao Cao" and thousands of Cao soldiers, and Li Li's right hand holding the knife shook suddenly. The golden sword flashed with cold light. Bypassing Cao Hong's neck, the thick back of the knife slapped on Cao Hong's side neck, knocking him unconscious.
When Cao Hong was stunned with a knife, the Golden Lion Beast King rushed instantly, and Li Li lifted the Jin Qi War Knife with one hand and swung the knife, obliterating a Cao Jun foot soldier who was supporting Cao Xiu, and then stabbed with a backhand to send the two soldiers holding Cao Anmin flying.
"Why are you still stunned? Do it. Tie up Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Anmin to me, and deal with them after the war! ”
At the same time as ordering the pro-soldiers to step forward. Under Li Li's seat, the Golden Lion Beast King continued to rush forward: "Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, and Xu Huang will rush to kill with me, go to Bei, Xu Ding will lead the infantry army to defend the valley mouth, and the brave will win when they meet on the narrow road, kill!" ”
"No!" When Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and Xu Chu heard the sound, they immediately rushed and slashed behind Li Li.
Seeing that Zhang Liao and Xu Chu led a hundred Jinjia soldiers who did not leave the lord's possession at all times, rushed to the front of the battle, went to Beile Ma to sink the knife, and ordered sharply: "Jin Yiwei listened to the order, slowly withdrew from the plank road, and the infantry stepped forward, and followed the general to defend the valley mouth, and did not retreat, and those who violated the order were killed!" ”
With the order of Qubei, more than 3,000 Jinqi guard cavalry slowly retreated, while the 3,000 foot soldiers led by Xu Ding quickly crossed the cavalry and lined up behind the two generals of Qubei and Xu Ding.
In the battle for the plank road just past, the 6,000 Jinyi guard cavalry who entered the Tanikou plank road to intercept at the beginning have now been killed or wounded, and only more than 3,000 horsemen who have withdrawn from the plank road in an orderly manner at this moment remain. However, these Jinyi Guard cavalry who died in battle were enough to withstand the fierce charge of tens of thousands of Cao troops for nearly half an hour, and no one retreated from beginning to end, let alone escaped without authorization, all of them died in frontal battles.
With less than 3,000 troops, the 40,000 Cao army was firmly blocked, and the casualties of more than 2,000 people were exchanged for nearly 20,000 Cao soldiers. Although most of the casualties of the Cao army were shot or injured by the foot soldiers on the cliffs on both sides, the Jinyi Guard cavalry took all the pressure and fought bloody battles with the Cao army's soldiers, preferring to die in battle rather than take half a step back. It was Jin Qiwei's tenacious fighting spirit of returning blood for blood and tooth for tooth that repeatedly thwarted the desperate counterattack of the Cao army, so that until this moment, the 40,000 Cao army was sharply reduced to more than 20,000 people, but no one rushed out of the valley, still fighting the trapped beasts, dying and struggling.
It can be seen from this that as Li Li's personal guard, even under extremely unfavorable combat conditions, although the combat effectiveness of the Jinyi Guard cavalry has been greatly limited, the will to fight has not diminished in the slightest, and it is still an elite and powerful force.
Because of this, when Li Li learned that Jin Yiwei had suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, he resolutely decided to replace Jin Yiwei's cavalry, and he personally led the Hedong County soldiers into the plank road to fight. Moreover, Li Li changed the previous defensive tactics of defending but not attacking this time, and personally led Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and Xu Huang to take the initiative to attack and attack the valley from the valley entrance plank road, giving the Cao army a head-on attack.
As of the moment when Li Li took the initiative to attack, the Taniguchi plank road with a total length of more than 330 meters had been captured by the Cao army for more than 200 meters, and the plank road still in the hands of the Xiliang army was less than 100 meters, that is, 100 steps.
Li Li saw that the Taniguchi plank road was in danger, so he decided to go into battle in person. Relying on his own strong combat effectiveness, and with the assistance and protection of Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and Xu Huang, he led a hundred well-equipped and carefully selected Jinjia soldiers to take the initiative to attack, trying to cut through Cao Cao's army. Kill into the valley from the plank road, completely disrupt the Cao army's position, kill the Cao army generals as much as possible, so that their heads and tails can not care for each other, the soldiers and generals are isolated, and the command is paralyzed, so as to completely defeat the Cao army's determination to fight to the death and disintegrate the Cao army's fighting spirit. Only in this way can we achieve the final victory of the Feiyundu encirclement and blocking battle while minimizing the casualties of our own soldiers as much as possible.
――――――
"Where the thief escapes, suffer death!"
In the midst of the loud shouting, Li Li drove the Golden Lion Beast King to ride into the dust, and the Golden Lion Battle Knife in his hand flew in the air, drawing a series of shocking sword shadows in the narrow stone cliff air. Wherever the golden beast and the sword of war were cold, hundreds of Cao soldiers staggered and avoided one after another, and the Cao soldiers who could not avoid it considered themselves unlucky, and all their lives were buried under the golden sword of war.
At the same time, the galloping Golden Lion Beast King, the lethality is not much better than that of its lord Li Li, the strong and sharp claws and Bai Sensen's lion head and fangs are the best weapons to kill the enemy, coupled with its huge and sturdy body and lightning speed, rushing into the Cao army's foot soldiers is like a tiger rushing into a flock, rampage, and killing. I saw that it was pounced by a tiger, and at least three or four Cao soldiers were thrown to the ground by it, and the weapons in the hands of these Cao soldiers were dealt with by Li Li on its back, and the Cao soldiers who fell to the ground were killed by its Golden Lion Beast King. If you go down with a claw, it will be disemboweled; As soon as he stepped on it, he screamed and died, and he could knock over several Cao soldiers with a single pounce, and after landing, these people were either dead or injured, screaming again and again.
As the saying goes: people borrow the tiger's momentum, and the tiger helps others.
The more ferocious the Golden Lion Beast King is, the more powerful and lethal Li Li wields the knife to fight, and the more Cao soldiers die under the Golden Lion Battle Knife.
So far, this person and beast have been together day and night for more than three years, and have gone to the battlefield hundreds of times. Aside from the identity of the commander of Li Li's army, among the many powerful generals in the Xiliang Army, if you talk about the strength of martial arts, maybe he is not the strongest person, there are at least three people whose martial arts are above him, namely: Huan Fei, the first general of Xiliang, Li Zhi, the flying general, and Huang Zhong, the deputy commander of the Wuwei Battalion. However, if there is a contest with mounts to help each other, none of these three are sure that they will be able to defeat Li Li, even if Huan Fei, who also has the Golden Lion Beast mount, can only fight to a draw with Li Li. As for Li Zhi and Huang Zhong, if they fight with Li Li, instead of winning, they are very likely to lose; Although the pair of chains in Li Zhi's hand was very strange, it did not pose a threat to Li Li, because the Jinqi War Knife in his hand was also a treacherous and changeable weapon, and his body speed was not inferior to Li Zhi's.
But the most critical decisive factor is that the Golden Lion Beast King under Li Li's seat is extremely fierce. The combat power of this giant beast alone is enough to be comparable to the top masters in the world, and it is now approaching adulthood, and its combat power is even stronger than before. With the help of such a powerful mount, for Li Li, who is tending to be a great martial artist, it is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger, and his combat effectiveness and lethality are not inferior to any peak powerhouse in the world; Even if he fights head-on with Lu Bu, who is known as the undefeated god of war, it is still unknown who will be strong and weak, and who will die.
At this moment, Li Li was invincible with the Golden Lion Beast King, even though he was in the narrow and rugged valley plank road, and there were thousands of Cao soldiers around him to intercept and assassinate, but the Golden Lion Beast carried Li Li all the way to slash and slash, and the blood-stained war knife along the way, as if entering a no-man's land, no one could stop him. However, Li Li, who killed all sides, always kept an eye on the fleeing "Cao Cao" and chased after him all the way.
Under Li Li's pursuit of killing all the way, "Cao Cao", who had just made up his mind to die, was so frightened at this moment that he ran for his life in a panic. However, perhaps he didn't realize that in his eagerness to escape, his escape direction was to run straight to the location of his "stepfather".
