Chapter 2 Tiger Cub (Part 7) In fact, the owner of the scimitar is not undefeated, but can't afford to lose.
Xuzi is not as mature and capable as Liu Hongji, nor is he as smooth and sophisticated as Yuwen Shiji, but he is by no means ignorant of the delicate situation he is currently in. There are many generals in the court who are more experienced than him, and he is not a leader.
However, the reason why this task finally fell on him was because everyone avoided it, and secondly, because of His Majesty’s appreciation of him.
Xuzi understands this, but he knows that he has no better choice. If he wants to maintain his personal independence and dignity and survive in the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty, he must seize every opportunity, even if this opportunity is looked down upon by others, or even dangerous.
Only by winning this battle can he have a chance to gain a foothold as a general. If he fails, he will lose everything. He does not have Yu Wenshi and his father-in-law, the emperor's father-in-law, nor Liu Hongji, Li Jiancheng, etc.
People are born with a wide network of connections. He is just a country boy who accidentally stumbled onto a dangerous peak. Any setback that others consider trivial will knock him cleanly into the deep valley.
Therefore, before the last wisp of poisonous smoke dissipated, Xuzi and six hundred dead men lurked into the narrowest section of the valley. The visibility in the valley was very low, and there were rows of fire and wood spraying poisonous mist in the river, but these
He could no longer take into account the unfavorable conditions. The soldiers of the Xiaoguo camp were not well trained. Xuzi was not sure that he would lead them to launch a strong attack at night. If he did not make an effort to drive the Goguryeo people out of the valley this evening, no one could guarantee the wind tomorrow.
Which direction will it blow?
The poisonous smoke of horse dung is not a profound secret. As long as the wind direction changes, the Goguryeo people can easily return the Sui army's tricks. As for the poisonous weeds on the land of Liaodong, they are definitely better than the heroes of the Xiongwu Camp.
clearer
Xuzi mobilized all the veterans he had pulled from the food protection army and Xiaoguo who had performed well during training to form the first attack echelon. The center of the valley was too narrow, and the number of people who could rush through two regiments at once was already the limit. Therefore, he could only
Able to launch attacks on enemy troops in batches
He placed Li Mengchang in the second attack echelon, Li Anyuan in the third echelon, and Lieutenant Cui Qian, who was born in the Boling Cui family, and another captain recommended by others were placed in the fourth echelon.
In the attack array, Murong Luo, who served as the defender, was also transferred to the front line by Xuzi. He was responsible for commanding the fifth wave of offensive troops. The sixth attack echelon was handed over to Zhao Ziming, and the seventh attack echelon was handed over to Xue Wenju... The injured Yu Wenshi and
Responsible for supervising the war team. If anyone is found to be hesitant and refuses to fight, the supervising army has the right to enforce military law on the spot.
"Push directly forward from the center, break through one camp and jump into the next one. Don't worry about the enemies behind you, and don't give the enemies in front breathing time!" Li Xu looked back and whispered, the Goguryeo people couldn't retreat too far.
, they had worked hard to build the forts one after another, and now they would rather suffer more smoke than abandon all the forts in the canyon.
"Don't give our own people time to breathe!" Xuzi glanced at the Xiaoguo people behind him who were covering their mouths and noses with wet cloths and lined up like ants. He secretly prayed that these Xiaoguo people under his command would look exactly like those days.
The warriors of the Su Chuan tribe, as Xu Dayan said when he evaluated the warriors of the Xi tribe, are good at individual skills, but lack overall combat ability. They become more courageous as they fight with favorable conditions, and lose all courage once they are frustrated. Xuzi must take advantage of this opportunity.
While everyone was still immersed in the excitement of succeeding in their poisonous plan, they maximized the combat effectiveness of Xiaoguo Camp.
"Master Supervisor advises you not to be the vanguard yourself!" Zhang Xiu squeezed towards the cliff and begged in a low voice, "It takes courage to be a soldier. Our Xiaoguo camp is full of new recruits. Once you..." The second half of the sentence
He couldn't say it anymore. The most taboo thing in a war is to make excuses.
"No one is more suitable than myself!" Li Xu shook his head and replied, "Go and assist Yuwenshi and the adults. After the first wave of attacking teams rush over, the next wave must immediately catch up with those who passively avoid the battle and kill them!"
After saying that, he tightened the wet cloth in front of his nostrils again, and took the lead in rushing towards the low wall of the Goguryeo people.
More than 600 pioneer warriors advanced quickly behind Li Xu, pounced on their prey like long snakes. The poisonous smoke in the valley had just begun to fade, and the Goguryeo people had not had time to make tactical adjustments. The poisonous smoke offensive for an hour and a half, gave
The losses they caused were far greater than the Sui army's own losses. Many generals were still dizzy and vomiting, and did not bother to observe the abandoned camp. The lookouts were injured by the thick smoke because they had stood the highest.
The most cruel, almost all of them died for their country at this moment
In order to preserve their strength, the heavy armored infantry with the strongest combat effectiveness was transferred to the other side of the valley by Eulji Munheung for ventilation. Therefore, those currently staying at the front to serve as security guards are the tribal warriors with the least combat effectiveness and the forcibly recruited soldiers.
When the farmers realized that danger was approaching, Li Xu's arms had already climbed up the stone wall.
"Attack!" Xuzi shouted, and like a goshawk, he flew over the stone wall over two Goguryeo people who were squatting on the ground and panting. They hurriedly raised their weapons to fight, but Xuzi chopped them into two pieces with their weapons, leaving no one nearby.
He rushed forward to kill the enemies who rushed over in a hurry. Every time he swung his sword, one of them would be killed and fell to the ground. In an instant, he advanced more than twenty steps. More than a dozen personal guards guarded his flanks, blocking the enemies who rushed over in a hurry.
Kill the enemies one by one
The warriors shouted and charged forward, widening the gap. The general rushed to the front row, which greatly boosted their morale. The Goguryeo people's combat ability and morale had been greatly reduced after being attacked by the poisonous smoke. Some people stepped forward.
Some people rushed forward in a daze, with even the spears in their hands unsteady. With a gentle push from the Xiaoguos, the weapons fell out of their hands. After a few breaths, the Goguryeo people who stayed in the first camp collapsed.
They all retreated to the rivers and cliffs on both sides, trying to protect themselves. The timid ones dropped their weapons and turned around to escape. Their weapons were stained with blood. At the same time, they found that the battle was easier than they thought, and their courage became stronger.
Follow your coach closely and refuse to fall behind even one step further
The Xiaoguos were still unfamiliar with each other's cooperation, but with such momentum, they broke through the first fortress of the attack in just a few seconds. The Goguryeo people left a passage for soldiers to walk between the two connected fortresses.
The rebels rushed there one after another, and the warriors of the Sui Dynasty followed and chased them, knocking down the slow-moving enemy soldiers to the ground and cutting off their heads.
Xuzi followed the enemy's rout and squeezed into the second camp from the entrance of the passage. As soon as his view became wider, he saw a rifle spear stabbing him. He twisted to let the front pass, and the long knife ran along the pole
Pushing forward and speeding up his pace, he saw a Goguryeo general wearing a brocade robe, his eyes widened in surprise. Then, the Goguryeo general lost four fingers on his left hand, dropped his long spear, turned around and fled back towards Xuzi.
After a few steps, he used the back of his sword to knock away the interference of several weapons, and then successfully let the blade find the expensive brocade robe.
"Crack!" The brocade robe was cut from the shoulder to the waist, and blood spurted out like a waterfall. The Goguryeo general continued to escape for five or six steps. All his strength was drained, and he fell down. The other Goguryeo people who intercepted Xuzi saw this,
Abandoning the opponent, they turned around and fought for the body of their own general. How could the Xiaoguos give up the credit they had already obtained? A dozen horizontal knives chopped it into pieces, and their fingers and arms fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the head of the Goguryeo general was mentioned to Xu.
Next to him, his soldiers found a spear and continued to move forward with their bloody gourd-like heads.
The enemy's resistance was very weak. They never expected that the Xiaoguos would dare to launch an attack despite the poisonous smoke. The second fortress collapsed faster than an avalanche, and the defeated soldiers scurried around like headless flies.
General Li Xu ordered the warriors in the vanguard to just attack the enemies in front of them. They didn't even care about the cowards who fled towards the river and pressed their bodies against the cliff. Of course, there would be echelons behind them.
Clean up, General Li has already chased the enemy into the next camp. Everyone can't watch General Li take risks by himself. The Xiaoguos are charging and killing. Someone died in the battle, and his position was immediately taken up by the newcomers.
No one no longer thinks about whether they will die in battle. At this moment, they are intoxicated in the blood of the enemy and are hearty!
There were many heavily poisoned lottery players lying in the third camp. Several old shamans with human skulls hanging around their necks were dancing around three large pots. The pots were boiling with green juice, which they brought from the mountains and fields.
The magic medicine they collected will be effective as long as they complete this dance wholeheartedly. During the dance, they have communicated with the gods in the underworld. The gods promised them that as long as the poisoned person drinks the medicine in the copper pot
Soup can make the warriors jump as alive as before
The cries of the defeated soldiers interrupted the god's murmurs. The old shaman who led the team raised his head and loudly uttered a series of curses. Normally, the tribesmen who heard the curses would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy, begging the shaman to forgive them for doing so.
Collision of the Gods But today, those disrespectful guys actually ran around the shaman's body, and someone accidentally kicked over the copper pot for boiling the medicine. The green juice splashed everywhere, dripping all over the lottery players lying on the ground.
Howling ghosts and howling wolves
The old shaman who led the team immediately made a decision and turned around to join the fleeing crowd. The power of the pursuers actually exceeded the curse, and it was certainly not something that they, the magicians, could resist. As for the poisoned compatriots lying on the ground, let them wish for themselves.
The soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty have always been benevolent and righteous troops, and they rarely killed prisoners
The moment before entering the next camp, the old shaman realized his conscience and hurriedly looked back at the tribesmen he had left behind. He saw the devil's boots stepping on the tribesmen's bodies, and a black knife circling the tribesmen's necks.
Flying next to the tall devil, there are countless evil ghosts and yakshas. Their faces have only eyes, no noses and mouths. They are wearing red armor and carrying bright horizontal knives. They kill everyone they see.
"Ghost!" The old shaman screamed, knocked over several companions, and ran desperately to the east side of the valley.
The Xiaoguos, whose faces were covered with wet cloths, used their blades to cut a passage through the poisoned people. The enemy had no power to fight back, but that didn't mean they had to feel pity. Last year at this time, the Sui Dynasty was too hungry to lift weapons.
The Goguryeo people did not show any sympathy to the soldiers. When the situation was reversed, they should not expect the Xiaoguos to repay evil with kindness.
"Follow the broken soldiers, follow the broken soldiers, don't give them a chance to breathe!" Li Xu, who was rushing at the front, turned back to stop his brothers from wasting time on the poisoned people. Li Mengchang, who was commanding the second echelon, had already rushed forward.
Coming up, his general's flag is only half a base away from the first echelon. The Goguryeo people who have lost their resistance naturally have him to deal with it. At this moment, the task of the vanguard is to follow the enemy and maximize the victory.
"It's not the devil to deal with these poisoned guys. Brothers, we can't let them take all the credit for following General Lang's team!" Li Mengchang looked at the handsome flag not far away and shouted loudly.
It was so exciting, this battle was fought so happily. Even when we accompanied the three hundred grain-protecting brothers to fight in Liaodong last year, none of us had tasted the taste of chopping melons and vegetables. How do you remember the military achievements of the Sui Dynasty? How many beheads were killed?
Level one? Li Mengchang felt that his head was a little hard to use, and his chest was completely filled with Qian Yun's heroic spirit.
"Da Sui, Da Sui!" The soldiers of the third echelon shouted loudly, urging the soldiers of the second echelon to rush forward faster. At this moment, countless people's heads were dizzy, but it was not because of poisoning.
The camp in front is getting wider and wider, and there are more and more enemy troops. The Goguryeo coach has made tactical adjustments. Many elite soldiers wearing heavy armor are facing the forward Xiaoguo led by Li Xu. However, the first few camps have been withdrawn.
However, the defeated troops blocked their way. Two groups with different directions and goals crowded each other, pushed each other, and screamed and cried.
A section of the wooden fence collapsed, and the fleeing soldiers were trampled under their feet. Several heavily armored elite soldiers were pushed down by their companions. The fugitives' big feet stepped over the iron armor without hesitation.
, the soldier who fell to the ground no longer cursed or groaned. The armor was deflated, and blood slowly flowed out along the armor.
Li Xu once again caught up with the rear of the defeated soldiers, used a black knife to knock down a Goguryeo warrior from behind, stepped diagonally a few steps, and once again used the knife to cut off a thigh and an arm from the crowd, and the defeated soldiers' heads were cut off.
He didn't look back, and let him slash behind him like a lamb. The injured person was lying on the ground with his eyes straight. The one who continued to run for his life also had a dull expression and stared straight into his eyes.
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" He heard the sound of a series of gongs and instinctively stopped in his footsteps. Then, he saw the arrows all over the sky, so dark on the ground that every tip reflected the sunset.
