Chapter 500

Fighting has made people numb, and bleeding can no longer stimulate people's nerves. It has been more than two hours since the beginning of the war, and finally evolved into a decisive battle with nearly one million troops. Those who did not see the war with their own eyes could not describe its magnificence and tragedy in words, and those who heard it could not imagine what a bloody scene it was.

The land on the wasteland was soaked with blood, so that the soldiers stepped on the muddy road that had just rained, their boots made a loud noise, and the viscera and dust mixed together, emitting a fishy smell.

When the decisive battle came, Li Yuanshan went to battle again after many years. The rebel leader with iron armor and his heavy cavalry fiercely bumped into the army, because the unparalleled combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry was overwhelming, and the army began to retreat.

Jin Shixiong looked at the heavy cavalry smashing his front army like a heavy hammer. He picked it up at the corner of his mouth and gave a sneer. It seemed that he was not worried that the heavy cavalry might dominate the whole battle.

He raised his hand and waved the flag. After the horn sounded, the army began to dodge on both sides and actively made way for the heavy cavalry. The rebel infantry behind the officers thought they saw the hope of victory and shouted to chase after the heavy cavalry and plug the hole.

Just after the heavy cavalry went deep into the army array, Jin Shixiong looked back at the unused team behind him. He pointed to the heavy cavalry that had been crushed by the Chinese army and shouted, "this is Li Ni's last skill. It's up to you whether you can eliminate the rebels today! Your majesty believes that you spoil you. You want to repay the national grace in this war!"

About a thousand warriors behind him began to shout and wave their special weapons.

These more than 1000 soldiers were specially selected by the emperor. It can be said that they are outstanding figures in the team, but they are not typical soldiers. These people are from the green forest. Everyone has good martial arts, but they are also the most difficult team to bring, because they don't know and don't bother to explore how to cooperate. These Jianghu guests are rough and wild. It's not easy for them to act completely according to the laws of the Sui army than to die.

The Emperor didn't make these people obey military orders from beginning to end. They were the only brave team that could drink before the war. The Emperor gave them the privilege that they could not even participate in the drill with other soldiers. The purpose of their existence is to deal with Li Yuanshan's heavy cavalry today.

It's no secret that Li Yuanshan has such a powerful cavalry in his hand. Although the number is small, only less than two thousand, he can easily crush like an iron beast on the battlefield. Their heavy armor is not afraid of feather arrows, and even sharp horizontal knives can't break the thick armor. And the weight in their hands is too overbearing, and the infantry can't resist enough.

With the order of Jin Shixiong, more than a thousand Jianghu guests rushed out. When they were still dozens of steps away from the heavy cavalry, they threw out their special weapons.

Perhaps this is not a weapon, but a tool.

It is a tool often used by barbarians in Northern northern and southern Xinjiang when catching wild animals. A rope with stones tied at both ends. Throw it out when you encounter the prey. If you wrap it around the prey's legs accurately, you can catch the prey immediately.

The ropes tied with stones at both ends rotated and flew out. Although more than a thousand people didn't cooperate, their reaction was much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. They didn't stop after throwing the rope out, but they still rushed to the cavalry. Not every rope can trip a horse's leg, but as long as a hundred people succeed, it's enough.

Few of the first heavy cavalry in the front row had good luck to avoid the rope, because these Jianghu people have prepared for today for a long time. They can not practice like ordinary soldiers, but they must make themselves proficient in using this simple hunting tool.

Dozens of heavy cavalry horses in front were tripped by their hoofs, and the horses fell forward fiercely in their neighing. Because people and horses are dressed in armor, it is not easy to stand up once they fall. The heavy cavalry who raised the speed wanted to stop the horse immediately, so the heavy cavalry behind couldn't stop hitting the fallen fellow robe in front.

The great power of heavy cavalry not only comes from the strong armor and the strong physical quality of cavalry, but also needs a dense formation to maintain enough crushing pressure.

But because of the dense formation, once the cavalry in front fell to the ground on a large scale, the people behind could only suffer.

At least 70 or 80 heavy cavalry horses were tripped and fell down, causing at least 200 heavy cavalry behind to crash up and fall to the ground. At this time, those arrogant and uninhibited Jianghu guests have the opportunity to show their skills. They jumped over lightly, didn't give the fallen heavy cavalry a chance to stand up, and harvested the heavy cavalry's life with the short stick of wrought iron in their hands.

The armor of heavy cavalry can block sharp weapons, but it can't stop the heavy blow of iron bars.

A Jianghu guest rushed over with a smile, kicked the heavy cavalry who was about to get up, followed by a big step, and hit the cavalry's neck with a heavy iron bar of dozens of kilograms in his hand. The weakest defense of heavy cavalry is the neck. In order to ensure the necessary flexibility, the chain armor on the neck is not heavy. But even if such a heavy iron bar hits the throat hard, the consequences can be imagined.

The heavy cavalry's neck heard a light noise, and then there was blood flowing out behind the visor. The blood spitting out of his mouth was sprayed on his face armor, and soon there was no breathing.

These Jianghu people skilfully drill back and forth in the crack of heavy cavalry, and find the right opportunity to start after avoiding the attack of heavy soldiers. The iron bars in their hands can immediately destroy the horses when they hit the legs of the horses, while the heavy cavalry that fell to the ground are only bulky, where is there anything strong to speak of.

The emperor sitting on the high slope looked at the mess of Li Yuanshan's heavy cavalry disturbed by those Jianghu guests, but there was no joy on his face. In order to deal with the heavy cavalry, he specially trained this team, and then these people proved that they can also become the protagonists in the battlefield.

"What a pity."

The emperor murmured three words.

I don't know whether it's a pity for those Jianghu people who were run over by heavy cavalry or those elite cavalry.

……

……

"Your Majesty, no!"

A herald came quickly on his horse, caught up with Li Yuanshan's horse and shouted: "The heavy armor infantry of general Zhou Dingguo was stopped by the heavy armor of the official Army, and our number was not dominant. The enemy seemed to know that our heavy armor infantry were on general Zhou's side in advance. They had been prepared long ago! Not only that, the people and horses on the right wing were also frustrated, and Prince Yi's people and horses began to win. As a result, they rushed too hard and separated from the Chinese army, and were lured by the enemy to go deep into the rear trap Stay! "

Hearing this, Li Yuanshan felt a suffocation in his chest!

He endured and swallowed back the fishy and sweet blood from his chest and abdomen, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

The heavily armored infantry are all in Zhou Dingguo. How can the Sui army know?

His younger brother, Prince Yi Li yuankuo, who was just sealed, was simple and impulsive. The Sui army must have arranged tactics in advance. First, he pretended not to be behind the enemy, lured Li yuankuo to pursue, and then surrounded Li yuankuo's men and horses into several sections. All the tactical arrangements of the Sui army were so targeted!

"Who leaked our tactics to the enemy!"

Li Yuanshan roared. After all, he couldn't resist a mouthful of blood gushing up and spraying out.

"Your Majesty, stop the troops for the time being!"

A confidant begged: "we have lost the opportunity and are subject to restrictions everywhere. If we continue to fight, it will be more and more unfavorable. Your majesty, please make a decision early. Now it's time for the returning army to defend Xiping city and rebuild morale!"

"No!"

Li Yuanshan screamed hysterically, "you can't retreat! The prince hasn't gone far!"

Hearing the roar, everyone was shocked.

The purpose of Li Yuanshan's decisive battle was just to cover his son Li Xiaoche's escape? At the cost of himself and hundreds of thousands of people in exchange for Li Xiaoche's life? People's hearts were immediately filled with sadness. It turned out that the emperor of Da Zhou had no confidence in winning the decisive battle.

"Keep going!"

Li Yuanshan roared, ignoring the bloodstains still hanging on the corners of his mouth: "if someone flinches before dark, he will be killed immediately! Come on! Go and tell the supervisor team that whoever retreats will be killed!"

He roared like a beast with a ferocious face.

"Report!"

A herald came flying, his face full of panic: "Your Majesty, it's a bad thing! General Zhou's heavy armor has been destroyed!"

"Ah!"

Li Yuanshan shouted fiercely, then stabbed the messenger to death: "who dares to say something bad in front of me? Such words disturb the morale of the army and will not be forgiven!"

"Your majesty!"

At this time, song Qian, who was in charge of staying in Xiping City, rushed here on a horse in messy clothes. He was a scholar, and his riding skills were ordinary, because he was eager to come, even the Liang crown bumped off, and he didn't know where to throw it.

"Your Majesty, please withdraw quickly!"

Song Qian would gasp and say: "I watched the battle in the city and found that both wings were defeated. There is no certainty of victory in the battle. Your Majesty's golden body, please return to the army immediately, give up Xiping and retreat directly to Jinyang! I know your majesty is unwilling, but victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. Why care about the gains and losses of the moment? Please think twice!"

Li Yuanshan was so angry that he was about to kill song Qian. Song Qian would be stopped by a trusted general: "Your Majesty, think twice. The prime minister is also thinking of your majesty!"

After being stopped, the angry Li Yuanshan yelled and scolded like crazy, and the people advised him hard. It took him a while to calm down. With red eyes, he glanced at these men, and the muscles on his face were twitching involuntarily. I don't know how long later, he sighed heavily: "it's all right, Mingjin retreats!"

It was as if he had been temporarily drained of his strength. He couldn't hold the heavy mark in his hand and fell to the ground.

"You can't sing gold!"

Song Qian will immediately stop: "I have told the generals of the infantry behind to stop rushing forward. The heavy cavalry and infantry who have rushed in front have no time to call back. Once Mingjin, the two wings that would have been defeated will collapse completely. The Chinese soldiers will retreat and the enemy will stick to the back. Even the gods can't break the defeat. Your majesty, at this time, you can only give up the front team. Please take the soldiers behind you Men and horses retreat. "

Li Yuanshan's face changed, and then slowly nodded: "just do as you say."

"Go and give orders. The infantry behind you will step back immediately. Don't listen to the horn. It's important to protect your majesty!"

Song Qian would say loudly, "let people blow the horn and continue the attack!"

This decision is so cruel. More than 100000 people in front fought with the Sui army. Song Qian would let people continue to blow horns and drums, but ordered the rear team to retreat, and the rebel soldiers in front became thorough cannon fodder.

"Your Majesty, go quickly. It's too late if you don't go again!"

Song Qian would reach out and grab the reins of Li Yuanshan's war horse and pull the horse back.

"Who... Who betrayed me! Who leaked our tactics!"

Li Yuanshan still couldn't calm down, and his teeth were rattling.

"Who else can it be?"

Song Qian would sigh and say in his heart that I had advised you not to believe that guy, but you didn't listen. Today's defeat was already doomed. Now you have been blinded and can't see it thoroughly. When the guy came, I said that I should never relax my guard against this person. It can be used but not trusted. Now it seems that I guessed it.

But he didn't dare say that.

He didn't say, but Li Yuanshan still reacted: "Hou Wenji! I will kill you!"
