With a loud shout, the scalper pulling the cart was stabbed to death by Xue Guyan. Immediately, Xue Guyan's arm, which was thicker than the average person's calf, slammed the horse's cart onto the carriage with a flying swing. With a loud bang,
There was a loud sound, sawdust flew up, and the large carriage, which was several inches thick, was shattered by the impact, and even the frame cracked!
The blow of the brave general was so powerful that the soldiers chasing after him on horseback cheered loudly. However, before they cheered a few times, they were suddenly attracted by the scene on the car: "This car is full of silk."
Silk! There are probably hundreds of horses in one cart..."
Seeing this scene, all the soldiers under Xue Guyan's command widened their eyes, and the soldiers of the Western Army in front of the car formation also retreated one after another, leaving all the carts at the front behind. When other knights
After dismantling the carriages in the same manner, we saw that these large carriages were all loaded with silk and silk. There were thousands of silks in the field of vision.
Although these soldiers are very capable and brave, it does not mean that they are indifferent to the world. Especially since they are engaged in high-risk jobs where the tip of a knife licks blood, their desires are much stronger than ordinary people.
Seeing so many silks scattered in front of them, and the soldiers of the Western Army huddled in the car formation without any fighting spirit, even some people couldn't help but dismounted and rushed to the car to pick up the silks.
"Leave the queue and do not take any unauthorized actions!"
As a successful general in the country, Xue Guyan could not lose all his sanity with just a few thousand pieces of silk and valuables. He subconsciously thought that this must be a trick by the enemy to lure them, and a warning sign suddenly arose in his heart, so he immediately reined in his horse.
He rushed out of here and shouted loudly.
Although some soldiers quickly left the place after receiving the order, most of the soldiers were still full of money and could not bear to part with it. Seeing someone dismounting to pick it up as an example, others also followed suit and rushed forward to grab it, grabbing it with their shoulders and hands.
, with his waist and body wrapped around him, there was no order at all for a moment, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
"shoot!"
Suddenly, drums sounded loudly in the Western Army's formation, which was originally retreating to the rear. At the same time, a military order was issued from a boat in the river. Hundreds of rockets covered with grease were fired straight at the place where the silk was looted. Some Eastern Army soldiers were directly killed.
He was shot on the spot, and the others who were not hit by the arrows did not have a good ending. The silk wrapped around his body was already flammable, and when a spark splashed up, he was immediately engulfed in the blazing flames.
There were two to three hundred people who had just left the group to grab silk. At this moment, almost all of them were engulfed in the flames. The only way to save themselves was of course to rush to the nearby valley water.
This time I really used money to throw money at people!
Seeing that the enemy's formation was in chaos, Li Tai naturally wanted to make these thousands of silk flowers worth their money. He immediately led his elite cavalry to rush out from the car formation and went straight to kill the remaining enemy cavalry on the nearby battlefield.
go.
Li Tai was deeply impressed by Xue Guyan's bravery in destroying a car. Although these vans were indeed temporarily modified, it was really amazing to be able to do this.
Therefore, after rushing out of the car formation, he took the lead and rushed straight towards this brave general.
And Xue Guyan saw hundreds of soldiers being buried in the sea of fire and rivers in an instant, and his mood was extremely angry. When he saw Li Tai charging towards him, he straightened up and galloped towards Li Tai.
past.
Clang!
After a sharp collision, the two sides passed each other. Li Tai felt that the pole in his hand was constantly trembling between his hands as if it was electrified. He could hardly hold it, and the pain in the tiger's mouth of both hands was as if it was being cut by a knife.
But he had no time to marvel at the moment, because there was another enemy soldier in front of him thrusting his sword at him. He raised up his arms and swiped the remaining strength of his arms, knocking the soldier off his horse, but he was unable to make up for the blow, so he could only
Using this remaining momentum, he galloped his horse and rushed out of the enemy's formation.
Xue Guyan also felt uncomfortable after the head-on collision with Li Tai. The horse he used was larger and heavier than ordinary ones, which made it harder to unload the force. The force of the blow he just struck went straight along the arm to the waist.
The sinking made him feel a surge of anger, and then he had a hard fight with Gao Le who was following him. His arms became more sore and swollen, and finally Ma Shan lost his grip and fell.
"The thief will be punished!"
Seeing this scene, the two cavalrymen stabbed Xue Guyan with their swords from left and right. When there was no chance of anything happening, Xue Guyan drew out the saber from his waist, lowered himself in front of the horse, swung the blade left and right, and finally got out of here.
He dashed out from under the front and took advantage of the moment when their bodies met to kill an enemy soldier at the foot of his horse, slicing his ribs.
But not all the soldiers of the Eastern Army were as skilled in martial arts as he was. After a quick charge, nearly a hundred of the soldiers of the Eastern Army who had lost their energy first were hacked to death.
Not long after the battle with each other, nearly half of the more than a thousand elite soldiers brought by Xue Guyan were lost, and the others who had not been involved in the battle already showed signs of fear and were about to flee.
Although Xue Guyan rushed out of the enemy formation with his sword, he couldn't help but be frightened after seeing this scene. He really couldn't imagine that the enemy general he looked down on at first could kill so many of his troops in such a short period of time.
Death.
"Who is the thief general? He is so skillful in using troops, he shouldn't be an unknown person!"
He rode his horse around to the south bank of Gushui and formed a team with his subordinates who had gathered here to support him. Then he circled back to the front of the car formation and shouted and asked questions to Li Tai's troops who were also arrayed beside the car formation.
Li Tai never liked playing tricks with his enemies, so he ignored Xue Guyan's questions. Instead, he pointed the horse in his hand at the opponent and sneered: "Thieves, don't leave! If you don't kill me within ten seconds, I will kill you."
Get off your horse and you will be lucky!"
When Xue Guyan heard this, he was even more embarrassed and yelled angrily. But now that there are many enemies and we are very different in morale, it is useless to fight again, so after throwing a few insults, he took matters into his own hands.
The horse turned and fled eastward.
Li Tai was so confident at this moment that he planned to add another achievement of killing an enemy general in the field, so he also led his cavalry to continue the pursuit. However, after chasing for several miles, he saw smoke and dust rising in front of him.
At this moment, he reined in his horse and turned back.
After Xue Guyan gathered reinforcements on the road, he was still resentful of the humiliation he had suffered. Based on the principle that revenge would not last overnight, he fought back. What he saw was that the enemy generals and cavalry troops retreated again.
Within the vehicle formation, and continued to advance slowly, as if the vehicle formation was used as a mobile camp.
Because of the previous lesson, Xue Guyan did not dare to attack the enemy's vehicle formation rashly again. If he smashed out the money and silk from vehicles after vehicles, he would probably make the same mistake again.
But it was hard to swallow the humiliation he had suffered before, and he couldn't just wait for the enemy to arrive at Jinganggang City, so Xue Guyan ordered his troops to scold and invite battle along the car formation, and at the same time ordered his troops to fight.
In front, ditches were dug along the river to destroy the path forward for the carriage camp, in order to force the cavalry troops out of the carriage formation.
But as soon as his men started digging at the selected work site along the river, a boat sailing in the river approached and washed the ground with a hail of arrows, shooting and frightening the tribesmen away, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses. There will be no gain.
"My lord, the reason why the bandit army ventured to leave Guancheng was to save Jingu City from danger. Now that the cavalry and boats are responding to each other, there is no way to intercept and kill them. It is better to attack Jingu City with all their strength first and force them to panic and panic. If you come to the rescue, you can intercept and kill them on the road, trapping them both inside and outside!"
Seeing that Xue Guyan was looking a little worried, one of his generals started to move forward.
After hearing this plan, Xue Guyan first relaxed his brows, but then frowned and said angrily: "Is it possible that Jingu City, with its well-defined fortifications, is easier to conquer than this simple car formation?"
Of course, this car formation is not stronger than Jingu City, but it is even more difficult in terms of difficulty. It is completely contrary to the clean encirclement and reinforcements that Xue Guyan had previously imagined. If it is close to Jingu City, each other can be seen inside and outside In response, it will definitely be more difficult to fight again.
Therefore, after much thought, Xue Guyan decided to capture Jingu City first. At least he could obtain the supplies in the city and allow his troops to rest and face the enemy in a more full state.
So Xue Guyan left hundreds of Qingqi to monitor the movements of this group of people along the way, and he personally led the main force back to the camp outside Jingu City and began to attack Jingu City.
In Jingu City, although he was trapped here and had no communication with the outside world, Han Xiong also noticed the enemy's unusual behavior today, so he announced to the people under his command: "The bandit camp has many people coming in and out today, and there is a lot of depression. It must be Li Kaifu in Guancheng has brought troops to rescue, and the thieves cannot stop them. Later, they may attack the city vigorously to disturb the reinforcements. We must hold on to the city until the reinforcements arrive, and attack and defeat the powerful enemies from both inside and outside!"
The soldiers in the city nodded in agreement, and under the command of Han Xiong, they carried out a series of preparations such as repairing the city defenses. When armored formations were formed outside the city and launched an attack on the city, because of Han Xiong's prophecy in advance, the defenders fell. There was no big panic, just organized defense in an orderly manner.
Due to the setback in the battle with Li Tai's troops, and to prevent more variables, Xue Guyan invested a large number of troops at the beginning of the siege, launching a combined infantry and cavalry attack from the river beach, river embankment and other places. He also wore armor himself and went into battle. , rushed up the river embankment and fought with the defenders.
Although various preparations had been made, the ferocity of the enemy's offensive was still beyond Han Xiong's expectation. Soon after the two sides fought, a section of the river embankment was lost. Under the leadership of his general, the enemy troops even attacked the stone bridge leading directly to the inner city gate. .
At this critical moment, Han Xiong personally put on the sword that Li Tai had given him before, and together with several elite men under his command, stood firm on the stone bridge. They repelled several enemy attacks and finally pushed the battle line back to the river embankment. However, Judging from the intensity of the enemy's offensive, if reinforcements cannot arrive tomorrow, the city may not be able to defend itself.
In the evening, Xue Guyan returned to the camp a little tired and ordered his soldiers: "Tonight, we will cook early in the camp and go to bed after eating. We will attack again in the night and we must recapture Cangcheng as soon as possible!"
After thinking about it, he looked at the soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Bring me a bucket of wine, just one bucket, no more! If you make me drunk and cause trouble, I will kill you!"
