Not only was Cao Shili about to moan, but also the veterans around him, who didn't want to moan at this moment when they saw clearly that handsome, melancholic and a bit ferocious face.
During the first northern expedition against Yan, Shuozhou was first attached to Datong, and Cao Shili and Meng Ping were led by Tianxiong's army to attack Datong. Cao Shili and Meng Ping were leading Shuozhou elites. At that time, Cao Shili had a street fight with the defenders in Datong City, while Xu Huai walked away with his bow.
The wall boarding room cooperated with Cao Shili to resist the enemy, and many people witnessed it with their own eyes.
However, Xu Huai gave people the impression at that time that he was a brave general who was very good at archery, and his identity was somewhat mysterious due to various rumors, which made people imagine.
During the second northern expedition against Yan, Xuanwu and Xiaosheng, the two armies were destroyed. The Cao family attached Lanzhou to Chihu, and Xu Huai led his troops from Shuozhou to raid Lanzhou City in the snow and wind. At that time, he only killed a single enemy of the Qingshun army.
Later, Cao Shili followed his brother Cao Shixiong and led his elite troops in Lan Valley. Naturally, none of the elite soldiers around Cao Shili were in Lanzhou City.
There were only a few hundred soldiers and horses in the entire Lanzhou City. At that time, Xu Huai could be said to have taken advantage of the situation and won without using force.
At the beginning of the year at the head of Gongxian City, the Chushan soldiers were limited in appearance, and Xu Huai did not take any action. The main force was to defend the mausoleum and fight against the city. However, the battle at Qingquan Gouzhai was truly heartbreaking.
There were so many Shuozhou elites blocking the alleyway with heavy shields, but Xu Huai and Wang Ju led the Chushan warriors to peel them off layer by layer like an onion.
In that battle, two hundred of Shuozhou's most elite soldiers were killed, and their blood flowed into rivers. However, they failed to use the alley less than two feet wide to block the murderer.
Almost everyone among the Shuozhou warriors around Cao Shili had witnessed that battle with their own eyes. Many of them had even fought against the Chushan warriors in the alleyways, and were lucky enough to survive when the subsequent warriors took turns taking turns.
One calamity.
Shouldn't this embryonic killing take place in the distant Caizhou?
Why did you come to Lanzhou again?
Is he targeting the Cao family and the Qing Shun army?
Even live rabbits need to be stripped!
"Second General Cao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still miss me so much?" Xu Huai put his long spear under his arm, pointed the two-foot spear diagonally at the snow, stared at Cao Shili in the distance, and greeted him vigorously.
Taking advantage of the enemy's stunned state, Wang Xian, Shi Hu, Wu Chihai and others pulled their horses out of the valley mouth, forming a cone formation with Xu Huai, Wang Ju and Niu Er standing solemnly in front of Xu Huai's mount as the core, preparing to
Attack the enemy with a charge.
Cao Shili cursed in his heart. Although he didn't know why Xu Huai was in Lanzhou at this time, as if he had seen a ghost, he was angry, anxious and frightened when he saw the ambush troops quickly forming formation beside Xu Huai.
However, when he looked at the fierce soldiers who had followed the Cao family in Shuozhou for many years, the moment they saw Xu Huai show up, they were all frightened and had horrified expressions on their faces. He held back and did not close his eyes in despair.
, but he couldn't help but subconsciously look behind him: under the wind and snow, the post road was winding and extending in the valley, and he couldn't even see the middle and rear of their cavalry.
The gorge was too narrow and tortuous. He was too careless, thinking that the remnants of the Khitan tribe would attack Minglu Village beyond imagination. He never thought that there would be an ambush in Lanzhou, so he led his cavalry out of Lanzhou City without attacking.
The front part is equipped with a repellent system to explore the path.
"Second General Cao, based on your understanding of me, do you think I will leave a way for you to retreat? Don't look behind you. There are ambushes behind to intercept your retreat," Xu Huai shouted sternly, "You are not claiming to be Shuo Shuo.
The most brave general in the state? Otherwise, if you and I fight alone, if you can beat me on horseback, I will let you escape back to Lanzhou City!"
"Bitch thief, you have the guts to ask for a fight right now. I think I'm very proud of you. Come on, let's fight. Let's see who has the stronger sword in his hand!" Cao Shili roared, as if to shake away the fear in his heart.
, holding the long spear under his right arm, he clapped his horse and charged forward, vowing to fight Xu Huai in a single fight to determine the outcome.
When Cao Shili galloped about fifty paces, Xu Huai waved his front finger and roared to the left and right: "If I talk about loyalty with this wild dog beast, won't I make all the righteous people in the world laugh out loud? Generals and soldiers, 'Aspirations are hungry.
Eating wild dog meat, laughing and talking about drinking the blood of a thirsty captive, 'Now, kill me!"
Xu Huai and Wang Ju immediately rushed forward, leaving behind Niu Er who was in a daze and could not recover.
Wang Xian, Shi Hu, Wu Chihai and others also reacted quickly. Now they had the opportunity to surround and kill the enemy general in front of the formation. How could they let it go? They all roared and yelled, and clapped their horses forward with fierce blood in their chests.
He pulled up all the men and horses behind him, like a rushing torrent, in the narrow valley, rushing towards Cao Shili, who was suddenly restrained by fear, and towards the frightened, frightened and angry enemy troops behind Cao Shili.
"You thief!"
Cao Shili didn't expect that Xu Huai, who had an absolute advantage, would actually trick him. He tightened the reins in fear, and the horse under his crotch stood up and neighed as if he was aggrieved by him.
"What a brave dog thief!" Although the warriors around Cao Shili were all frightened when they saw Xu Huai, they had followed Cao Shili for many years and had deep feelings for him. They all shouted when they saw that Cao Shili was being tricked out of the battle and about to be surrounded and killed.
They drove their horses forward and swarmed over, trying to snatch back their leader, Cao Shili.
No matter how confident Cao Shili was, he did not dare to say that he was capable of defeating Xu Huai. Wang Ju and Wang Ju fought together, not to mention that several powerful generals around Xu Huai shamelessly drove their horses to surround him.
If he had forced himself forward and continued to charge forward, he would have been stabbed through by six or seven long spears coming at him in the first round.
The bright sword wielded by Xu Huai shone with life-threatening light. After half a lifetime of fighting, Cao Shili felt fear for the first time on the battlefield. He turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Shuozhou warriors who were crowding behind him to save him.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
There is a dog grandson shooting cold arrows from behind.
Cao Shili lowered his body forward, touching the neck of the war horse. Arrows kept hitting his back, but they only made a "clang" sound, blocked by the armor. Occasionally, an arrow shot into the gap of the armor.
However, it is blocked by the armor and does not penetrate deeply into the flesh, so it is not considered a serious injury.
"Thief Cao, where can you escape?"
Seeing that he was only ten steps away from the Shuozhou warriors who came to rescue him, Cao Shili heard Xu Huai's roar behind him like thunder. What made him even more frightened was the roar of the blade piercing the air in his ears. He
He twisted his head and turned around, driving the long spear to sweep behind him. There was a "click" sound, and it collided with the long spear held by Wang Ju that was drawn diagonally. The blade of the long spear held by Wang Ju moved downwards with the force of the connection.
He suddenly swung out and swept straight towards Cao Shili's waist.
The long spear is similar to the spear, but in addition to the longer spear pole, which is more convenient for horse fighting, the blade is also longer, and even the king of tax can use the spear instead of a spear when fighting on horseback.
The sword blade is usually one and a half feet long to two-edged, with a sharp edge at the end, which is better for stabbing and breaking armor.
If the sword were to hit him, not only would Cao Shili's waist and ribs be saved, but his waist would also be pulled out.
The long spear in Cao Shili's hand shrank and shook, and he suddenly shook the pole upwards one-third of the way from his hand, striking the edge of the spear blade that Cao Shili had pressed against, knocking the blade away.
Cao Shili claims to be the best master in Guzhou. With his skills, he is on the same level as Wang Ju. If two people fight on horseback, Wang Ju's chance of winning will not be more than 70%. Cao Shili may not be unable to win, but unfortunately Xu
Being shameless, you won't give them a fair chance to fight.
When Wang Ju stabbed Cao Shili's right shoulder as fast as lightning, forcing Cao Shili's body to tilt to the left, and when he was holding the Shuo back, the long spear in Xu Huai's hand looked like a poisonous snake lying in the grass.
Cao Shili stabbed into the lower side of his left shoulder and stabbed out from the chest in front of him.
When Cao Shili stared at him in disbelief, Xu Huai withdrew the blade without looking at the red blood gurgling out from the two blood holes in Cao Shili's chest and back. The long sword swept towards Cao Shili's left horse like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
A Shuozhou warrior was slashed in the neck.
Changsha almost didn't cut off the enemy soldier's neck directly, and could only watch the man's head hanging down, with a layer of skin still attached to the neck that had not completely fallen off.
The gorge is too narrow, and if more than a dozen riders collide together, the gorge can be completely blocked. Xu Huai and the others cannot rush in unscrupulously. Seven or eight people ride together, constantly stabbing and slashing the long swords.
The spears and spears formed a cold wall of death, forcing dozens of enemy cavalry to retreat in panic.
Only then did Niu Er regain his composure, and chased after him to join the shield formation in front of the cavalry. He shouted dissatisfied: "Jun Hou, you lied to me again. You really thought you were going to fight that dog thief alone!"
The gorge was too narrow, and the horses were crowded together and neighing. Some people tried to run up the slopes on both sides, but the steep slopes were covered with ice and snow and were slippery. Both men and horses fell back to the post road, completely defeating the enemy's cavalry front line and disrupting it.
Huai and the others stopped moving forward, and instead organized more elites to dismount and hold shields to form a shield array and press forward, and fired densely with bows and crossbows from behind.
Now it is not about defeating these people and then capturing them. Their manpower to sneak into Lanzhou is too limited, and the subsequent combat tasks will be more difficult and more brutal. Xu Huai has no intention of capturing prisoners. They are now only pursuing maximum damage and weakening them as much as possible.
The military potential of the Lanzhou rebels will reduce their pressure on rescuing Taiyuan soldiers and civilians before withdrawing westward from Lanzhou...
