Chapter 37: Battle of the Two Armies
In this battle, the King of Zhenbei was in charge of the camp, and Shangguan Touwei was in command.
At this moment, he looked at the Daqi'ermen behind him and said loudly: "We joined the army to defend the country, and we have long ignored life and death. Today's battle is just about death. I am determined to kill the enemy and serve the country. It is righteous to die on the battlefield.
, Why do you want to survive?" After saying that, he led all the generals to get on their horses.
Listening to the enemy's horn in the distance, he glanced at the soldiers with cold eyes and shouted loudly: "The drums are beating, the generals listen to the order!"
‘--Boom! Boom-boom!!’
The dull and rhythmic war drums sounded, and Li Baiyu, Li Dazhuang, Wei Ci and other major generals responded loudly: "The last general is here!" The voice was loud and powerful, resounding through the sky.
On the black horse, Shangguan glanced coldly at the battle flag waved by the enemy in the distance, and commanded loudly: "Generals, listen to my orders. The cavalry will follow Huo Xianfeng first, and the archers will cover."
Huo Xiaoguang led a group of cavalry and shouted in unison: "I have the order!"
"The left and right wing armies are accompanied by the two major generals Li and Li to defend on both sides. The Gengzi army is following the generals to face the enemy head on. The Si Chen army is supported by the major general guard from behind, and the rest are guarding the sand barrier."
"Got the order!"
The officers and soldiers received the order and responded loudly and with great momentum.
The scorching sun slowly rose, and the sand blown by the morning wind swayed and flew in the air, then slowly fell and was blown up again, and the cycle started again.
In the distance of the yellow sand, there are hundreds of thousands of Qiang troops, all wearing red battle uniforms. From a distance, they look like maple trees in the autumn colors, approaching in fiery red.
When they were not far from Daqi's army, a loud and urgent horn sounded from the Qiang army. The princess of the Qiang Kingdom, who was riding a maroon horse and wearing a dark red outfit, waved her hand, and a group of cavalry took the lead in running over.
Looking at the cavalry of the Qiang army, Shangguan Tou narrowed his eyebrows slightly. The black cavalry of the Daqi unified army on one side were all ready to go. After he slashed his spear in the air and pointed straight ahead, the cavalry led by Huo Xiaoguang rushed out to meet the enemy.
Two cavalrymen with completely different strengths and styles met and took the lead in starting a battle.
Seeing that the enemy's main force was approaching, Shangguan Tou made a half-circle in the air with his spear in his hand, and shouted: "All soldiers, listen to the order, kill!!!"
The generals drew their sharp swords, looked at the enemy, and shouted: "Kill!!!"
Suddenly, the drums and horns of the two armies sounded, and the flags of all parties were fluttering in the wind. As the two teams of cavalry fought fiercely, the Gengzi Army led by Shangguan Tou advanced with great strides, inspiring
The morale shouted: "Kill", and rushed to meet the enemy calmly.
At the moment when the two armies collided like an overwhelming sea, the roar of swords and swords resounded throughout the battlefield, like a vast expanse of raging waves hitting the yellow sand and boulders. Long swords and scimitars flew and collided with each other, and spears and spears whizzed past. The two armies were prepared in advance.
The good bows and arrows were shot out, and the dense rain of arrows shot down like a big net, and the high-pitched killing shouts and short roars went straight into the sky.
No matter what the reason is for the two armies to fight, they both firmly believe in their respective reasons and have the bravery to die generously. In this battle of life and death, the heroes fight, only to die on their heels, with ferocious faces, bloody swords, and low voices.
Howls, blood filled with sand and dust, the entire battlefield was shrouded in the tragic atmosphere of this primitive cruel fight, waiting to be gradually annihilated by the defeated side.
This battle started with the rising sun and ended with the scorching sun setting.
In the battlefield, Princess Tuoba Ying of the Qiang Kingdom saw that her army was already defeated. She gripped the scimitar in her hand tightly and gritted her teeth with hatred. She also struck harder and harder with every strike.
Li Dazhuang, who was closer, saw Li Dazhuang riding a war horse and whipping out an iron whip, which could barely block her scimitar that was about to cut the neck of a soldier. He said in a cold voice with disdain: "Tomboy, I'm here to play with you."
"You should not be so arrogant as a wild man."
Tuoba Ying was already gritting his teeth and resenting it. Now that he heard this boss scolding him for being a tomboy, he was so angry that he jumped over with a scimitar and swung it at him fiercely. The exquisite curves of his body were drawn up in mid-air, like a graceful arc.
.
However, the opponent she faced was Li Dazhuang, who did not know how to show mercy to women. She saw him blocking the scimitar with a whip, leaping up and tapping lightly on the horse's head, raising his leg and kicking the graceful curve away, and fell heavily to the yellow ground.
On the sand, he vomited out a mouthful of blood.
"Princess..." The Qiang army general next to her wanted to help her, but Tuoba Ying threw the man away bitterly and rushed up again with a scimitar. After several moves, he didn't get any advantage at all, but was beaten by Li
A strong iron whip was pulled out, and a large blood mark was pulled out from her neck to her chest, dripping with blood.
The Qiang troops who were nearby saw the princess and hurriedly came to rescue their princess. Several of the generals realized that they had already been defeated and that if they continued to fight, their entire army would be annihilated. They hurriedly said: "Princess, give the order to withdraw!"
Tuoba Ying was being protected. She thought of the military order she had made in front of her father and the kings, brothers and sisters before setting off. She would either die in battle or capture the northern border. If the troops were withdrawn in such an embarrassing manner now, how would she be there when they returned to the palace?
A foothold? Looking at the defeated Qiang army, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "If you don't withdraw, I will not withdraw even if I die in battle."
When Li Dazhuang heard this, he shook the blood from his iron whip and laughed, "If you want to die, I will help you."
As he finished speaking, the iron whip swung over again.
Upon seeing this, several generals of the Qiang Army hurriedly ordered their men to take Tuoba Ying with them and ordered the remaining soldiers to retreat.
Above the enemy's rear, Wei Ci had already led a group of men and horses to kill them, and cut off the Qiang army's flying battle flag with one knife. The battle flag fell to the ground and was trampled into the dust by the iron hooves of the war horses.
Tuoba Ying, who was forcibly pulled away, saw it, his eyes were scarlet with hatred, he looked fiercely at General Daqi on the horse, and shouted fiercely: "Listen, I, Tuoba Ying, am humiliated by today's defeat.
He will definitely pay you back twice as much in the future." His voice was hoarse, but also rich and resonant.
In the center of the battlefield, Li Baiyu beheaded the remaining enemy soldiers. Looking at the Qiang princess who was running away in embarrassment and saying harsh words, she raised the sharp blade in her hand with disdain and shouted provocatively: "The twelve pioneers of Daqi are waiting at any time.
Anyone who violates my great enlightenment will be punished no matter how far away!"
The soldiers of Daqi who had finished dealing with all the remnants of the army also raised their sharp swords high and shouted in unison: "Anyone who offends our Daqi will be punished no matter how far away!"
The major generals are riding on war horses. Their horses are heroic and high-spirited. Their bodies are as tall and straight as pine trees, their momentum is as strong as the scorching sun, and their eyebrows are as bright as cold stars under the blazing fire.
Those who invade our territory will be punished no matter how far away they are!
.
This battle was a victory, and the Qiang army was beaten and fled back to their nest in the deepest part of the yellow sand. The troops were led back to the camp one after another by the major generals.
On the hill in front of the camp, the women of Huangsha Village were looking forward to the returning troops, wanting to see if their men were okay? From morning to evening, some of them were so happy to see their men from a distance.
Wept with joy, and some who didn't expect it secretly prepared themselves with tears.
It wasn't until the last ray of light disappeared from the afterglow that the women returned home, either sadly or happily.
On the last hill, only Sanniang was standing quietly. Xiaobaoniang wanted to persuade her to go back first, but Sanniang wanted to wait a little longer, so she asked her to take Xuanxuan home and be quiet.
He looked at the deserted yellow sand in the distance.
It was getting late, and looking at the distance where only yellow sand was dancing, Sanniang sighed, turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a sound of horse hoofbeats sounded in the distance, and the sound of the horse's owner whipping the horse came from afar. Through the hazy night, a familiar voice fell into her ears.
Knowing that Wei Ci was coming, Sanniang was so happy that her eyebrows were like stars, and she raised her hand and waved it in the night.
Wei Ci, who was on horseback, looked at the beautiful figure on the hill from a distance, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and beat the horse faster. When the horse approached, he tightened the saddle, fished it out with his long arm, and fished Sanniang to the horse.
On his back, he placed it gently in front of him, then quickly turned around and rode towards the night.
"Husband, where are we going?"
Sanniang huddled in his arms and hugged his waist tightly. The night wind was slightly cool, and Wei Ci was afraid that the strong wind would blow her, so he quickly took off his dark red cloak, wrapped her tightly in his arms, and then said:
"Go somewhere, it's beautiful, you'll like it."
The two of them and one horse gradually drove away under the cover of night.
The horse galloped all the way, and when he reached the destination he mentioned, Sanniang felt a little sleepy. When he carefully lifted her off the horse, she saw the surrounding scenery clearly and was stunned in surprise.
Her husband didn't lie to her, it was really beautiful here.
This place is still a piece of yellow sand, only the surroundings are like stars in the sky, lit up by fireflies all over the sky. It is so beautiful that it is as unreal as being in a dream.
