Chapter 753
Cao Bin, Yang Ye, and Yang Yanzhao are all generals who are proficient in the art of war and good at arranging troops. At this time, seeing the skeleton cavalry suddenly appeared, it was natural to charge with the horse army, and the three of them were all in the same heart. Cao Bin said to Yang Ye: "At the time of the Battle of Changping, the main cavalry of Zhao did not participate in the battle. How could so many skeleton cavalry suddenly appear? ”
Yang Yanzhao said: "It seems that there are more than 1,000 horse troops on the opposite side. At the time of the Changping War, although the main cavalry of the Zhao army did not go south to participate in the battle, among the more than 400,000 Zhao troops, there were still thousands of horse troops. I have paid attention to it before, whether it is these Zhao cavalry, or the Qin cavalry that was annihilated in the town before, they do not have stirrups, because as recorded in the history books, the cavalry of Qin and Zhao at that time were not suitable for fighting on horses, and could only cooperate with the infantry army and the chariot army. When Qin and Zhao fought each other in Changping, there was no large-scale cavalry confrontation between the two sides. The most important battle in which the cavalry participated was when 20,000 Qin light cavalry and light chariot soldiers detoured behind the Zhao army and cut off the Zhao army's food route. I think that this Qin army also relied on horsepower to run long distances, and after cutting off the grain route, it became an infantry army......"
Li Qiufeng listened to Yang Yanzhao's eloquent talk, and even talked about the situation during the Changping War in detail, and thought to himself: "This sixth general will be one of the famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, but his speech is a little verbose. At such a critical juncture, he spent a lot of time talking about the past, which is really puzzling. ”
Situ Qiao didn't understand what Yang Yanzhao meant by suddenly mentioning the old things, so he immediately asked, "General Yang, do these things you said have anything to do with the current situation?"
Yang Yanzhao said: "Mr. Situ is not in the army, so he may not know one thing. If the cavalry does not have the help of stirrups, it can only rely on the legs to clamp the belly of the horse, so that they can sit firmly on the horse, and they are powerless to fight on the horse. Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, although cavalry was used for raids, it was rarely used to fight and kill. At that time, the commanders of various countries either used cavalry to directly take the opponent's central army and kill the enemy's commander, or used cavalry to make a roundabout assault and cut off the enemy's food route. But isn't it strange that the Skeleton King has gathered his cavalry in one place to raid us?"
Situ Qiao pursed his lips and said: "What's so strange about this? Although I don't know the art of war, I also know that we are only ten people, and the Skeleton King naturally doesn't need to use any tactics, just gather the cavalry in one place and rush up together, and we will deal with the impact of thousands of cavalry, and we will inevitably have more than enough strength but not enough strength." ”
Yang Yanzhao shook his head and said: "The art of war has clouds, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to divide it if it is doubled." Right now, the skeleton soldiers are a thousand times larger than us, and it stands to reason that we should have been surrounded a long time ago. However, this skeleton king is lined up on one side, and does not divide his troops to surround us in it, isn't it strange? When the skeleton infantry army attacked, it was crowded into a ball, completely disorganized, and it was definitely not the handiwork of a famous general. At this time, the horse army was concentrated and planned to assault head-on, which was completely contrary to the war strategy of the military book. Mr. Situ, what do you think this Skeleton King wants to do?"
Situ Qiao looked dazed, shook his head, and said, "The more you talk about me, the more confused I become......"
Yang Yanzhao knew that he didn't understand, so he didn't wait for Situ Qiao to finish speaking before he continued: "If my guess is right, this skeleton king is not a general at all. This man is commanding indiscriminately, and we will take the opportunity to kill him. As long as we get rid of the Skeleton King, the skeleton soldiers will have to be in chaos, and we can take the opportunity to escape. ”
Yang Yanzhao's voice fell, and everyone was startled. The eldest grandson Guangming and the others turned their heads to look at the opposite side, and saw thousands of skeleton soldiers almost crowding the entire basin, with swords and guns in their hands, which made people's hearts shocked at a glance. At this time, it is not easy for everyone to protect themselves, but Yang Yanzhao wants to directly take the skeleton king in the army of ten thousand horses, what is the difference between it and a fool's dream?
Yang Yanzhao saw that everyone's faces were weird, and it was clear that he regarded his words as crazy words. He was about to say more, but he heard the loud sound of drums on the other side, and the sound shook the four fields. Everyone's hearts sank, and they all looked out of the courtyard. I saw the Skeleton King holding his sword high in his hand and rushing straight towards him. The more than 1,000 horsemen behind him followed, trampling the earth with iron hooves, and smoke and dust rose all around, and the sound was extremely amazing.
When the skeletal cavalry rushed over, they didn't have time to argue anymore, so they hid behind the stone wall, and when the cavalry rushed closer, they would fight with all their might. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, the monk stood up suddenly, raised a stone in his right hand, and threw it straight towards the skeleton king as if he had smashed the skeleton infantry before.
Who knew that he had just stood up, but he saw that the skeleton cavalry had reached more than twenty feet away. The skeleton soldiers on the horse had already bent their bows and arrows, and when they saw the Xuanji monk appear, they only heard the sound of "whooshing", and hundreds of feather arrows shot straight at the Xuanji monk.
This time the monk was unexpected, although his martial arts were high, but in the face of hundreds of feather arrows, he was also shocked. In his busy schedule, he made a move "Iron Plate Bridge", and his body fell backwards. It's just that although he fell extremely quickly, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulders, and at the same time, countless cold winds swept past his face very closely, and the sound of "poof" continued, all of which shot to the ground in the courtyard.
Hearing only a "plop" sound, the monk Xuanji fell to the ground on his back. A feathered arrow was struck in each of the left and right shoulders, and the arrows went several inches deep. Rao is mysterious monk is a first-class master, but at this time, he also screamed in pain.
Yang Yanzhao saw that the monk Xuanji suddenly fell to the ground, his shoulders were injured, and he was unable to struggle to stand up. And the feather arrows kept shooting from outside the stone wall, and a few feather arrows almost shot at the Xuanji monk, but they were only a fraction of a second. Yang Yanzhao used the Pu knife in his hand to hit the feather arrow, and at the same time grabbed the Xuanji monk and dragged him behind the stone wall. The two of them leaned against the stone wall, and Yang Yanzhao said: "Master endure the pain, I want to pull out the arrow!"
Monk Xuanji was already in a cold sweat at this time, and nodded reluctantly. Yang Yanzhao tore off the shirt on the shoulders of the Xuanji monk, held a feather arrow in each hand, and lifted it upwards vigorously. I only heard a shout from the Xuanji monk, and the feather arrow had been pulled out by Yang Yanzhao. It's just that after the arrow was pulled out, blood splattered out of the wound. Yang Yanzhao had already prepared, reached out and took out the golden medicine from his arms, and quickly sprinkled it on the wounds on the shoulders of the Xuanji monk.
Yang Yanzhao followed Yang Ye to guard the northern border of the Han Kingdom, and had many confrontations with the Khitan, and Jin Chuangyao has always carried it with him. This golden medicine is a secret made by the Yang family, and it is extremely effective. It was sprinkled on the wound of the monk Xuanji, and there was a hot and scorching pain at first, but in an instant, the wound was cool. The monk Xuanji knew that this golden medicine was very effective, so his heart was relieved.
From the Xuanji monk being injured by an arrow to Yang Yanzhao applying him a golden medicine, it was just a matter of an eye. By this time, the Skeleton King had rushed out of the stone wall. The skeleton war horse under his crotch was more than twice as large as an ordinary horse, and although it was not as good as the tiger Ah Er in Shajiabao, the difference was not very far. As soon as this man rode outside the stone wall, everyone hiding behind the stone wall felt that the surroundings suddenly became dark, but it was because the Skeleton King and his mount were so tall that they actually blocked the sky above everyone's heads.
When everyone saw that the Skeleton King was so imposing, everyone was terrified. I saw the Skeleton King wielding a huge bronze sword in his right hand, and slashed it straight above everyone's heads.
This sword was so powerful that everyone dared to cover it with their blades, and they dodged to the left and right sides one after another. At this moment, the front hooves of the Skeleton King's mount were raised, only to hear a "boom", the stone wall was flying wildly, and it was kicked out of a wide gap by the front hooves of the skeleton war horse.
When everyone saw the Skeleton King break into the courtyard alone and on horseback, they knew that they could no longer resist the attack of the skeleton cavalry with the stone wall, and their hearts were all cold.
I only heard the sound of iron hooves, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten skeleton cavalry rushed over. It's just that the mounts of these skeleton soldiers are far less tall than the war horses under the crotch of the Skeleton King, and they can't jump over the stone wall. Two skeletal horses tripped over the stone wall and fell to the ground, tearing their heads and bodies apart, and struggling on the ground. The skulls of the two horsemen were broken into several pieces, and then trampled to pieces by the other skeleton horses.
In a matter of moments, more than twenty skeletal cavalry had rushed into the courtyard. Li Qiufeng and the others were separated by the skeleton cavalry, and they had to fight separately. Fortunately, after the skeleton cavalry rushed into the courtyard, they immediately put away their bows and arrows, and just used the short sword in their hands to slash at everyone. What everyone was most worried about was that the skeleton soldiers fired arrows in unison, and at this time, they found that the skeleton soldiers only used short swords to slash, and their hanging hearts fell down a lot.
Although the monk Xuanji applied the Yang family's golden medicine to the wound, he was seriously injured and his arms were no longer able to be raised. After the Skeleton King rushed into the courtyard, Yang Yanzhao escorted the Xuanji monk and retreated to the pyre on the left side of the courtyard. The skeletal king sat upright on his horse, and the huge bronze sword in his hand was placed across the saddle, like a statue of a god, looking majestic. It's just that he didn't fight with everyone, but just watched the skeleton cavalry that kept pouring into the courtyard chase and kill Li Qiufeng and the others.
Yang Yanzhao brandished the Pu knife and successively knocked down the skeleton cavalry besieging the three horsemen. He protected the Xuanji monk behind him, fighting against the skeleton cavalry while watching Yang Ye's situation attentively. saw Yang Ye blocking in front of Cao Bin, and the two had retreated to the door of the thatched hut. The sword in Yang Ye's hand was elusive, and every time he swung it, it would cut off the leg of the mount under the crotch of a skeleton cavalryman, causing the cavalry on the horse to fall to the ground. Yang Ye made up for it with a knife and cut off the head of the skeleton cavalry. In the blink of an eye, five skeleton cavalrymen and the skeleton war horses under their crotch fell in front of the grass hut door, and they were trampled by the other skeleton war horses in an instant.
Yang Yanzhao saw that his father was fighting desperately, although he was stumbling, he protected Cao Bin behind him. Thinking of his father's earnest teachings to him since he was a child, and later he took himself and his brothers to fight on the battlefield, fighting for the first place in every battle, and retreating from the palace, this life can be said to have been difficult. At this time, he was trapped in this place that was neither yin nor yang, and he was desperate for his life, and he had to kill a bloody way for his father. Thinking of this, Yang Yanzhao protected the Xuanji monk while fighting towards the door of the thatched hut.
Li Qiufeng, Situ Qiao, Changsun Guangming, and Su Yan were surrounded by more than a dozen skeleton cavalry on the right side of the courtyard. The four of them stood back to back, each wielding their blades, scuffling with the skeleton cavalry. When he was fighting, he suddenly heard a cry of pain, Li Qiufeng was shocked, turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from, but saw Han Li's forehead being slashed by a short sword in the hand of a skeleton cavalryman, fortunately, Li Xu took out a sword from his side and blocked the short sword, which made Han Li escape with his life. Rao is like this, this sword is as deep as an inch, which makes Han Li seriously injured. I saw him swinging his sword and fighting, but his face was covered with blood, and the shape was extremely terrifying.
