Chapter 6: Holding the Sword (Ninth Chapter) "Did you find Gutuolu's big banner?" Li Jiancheng immediately regained his energy, ran back to Li Xu in three steps and then asked the scout loudly.
"A group of cavalry appeared in the direction of Liangshan Huazi. There are about six to seven thousand people fighting with a group of wolf cavalry nearby!" The scout from the Boling Army hesitated for a moment and answered loudly.
"What banner was used, and what was the outcome?" Li Jiancheng was surprised and delighted, and continued to ask.
The scout frowned dissatisfied, then glanced at Li Xu and saw that his coach had no objection. He took a breath and continued to report: "To the general and the prince, the flags of the incoming troops are very confusing, as if a coalition army has won."
It’s unclear at the moment, but they lit a lot of fire behind the Turks, and then fought and approached Huang Huahuozi!”
"Allied forces? Coming from outside the Great Wall?" Li Jiancheng was stunned. He couldn't figure out who would come to help the defenders at this time. A team of six or seven thousand people would need several people to join forces. This team must be strong.
No matter how hard it is, maybe the Turks deliberately set up a trap to trick everyone into going out to meet them.
"Explore again, pay attention to the observation point in the mountain and use the flag to see what happened!" At the moment when Li Jiancheng died, Li Xu made a quick decision
After watching the scouts leave, he immediately grabbed a command arrow and "passed the order to General Zhang stationed in Huanghuahuozi, asking him to strengthen vigilance to prevent the Turks from taking the opportunity to knock on the pass!"
"No!" The soldiers ran forward, took over the general, and quickly left the tent.
"Send an order to General Jiang Baoyi and order him to send ten thousand brothers to the horse trail inside the Great Wall to prepare for battle at any time!"
"Send an order to General Zhou Daniu and order him to gather 3,000 heavy armored infantry and 2,000 archers, and gather me and the prince near Huanghuahuozi. They will arrive soon!"
Li Xu didn't even think about it, and passed out the orders one after another. By the time Li Jiancheng and others figured out his purpose, he had already dragged everyone to the watchtower near Huanghuahuozi.
"This is the gap in the Great Wall, just like the gate of a city. Brother Jiancheng, the command and control above the city gate will be left to you and Senior Chen!" Li Xu thrust the arrow into Jiancheng's hand and ordered in a low voice.
"Today's battle won't be too intense, so we don't have to let all the brothers be alarmed. Those who need to rest will continue to rest, and those who need to train will continue to train!"
"How does Zhong Jian know that today will not be a fierce battle?" Li Jiancheng's thoughts could not keep up with Li Xu's movements. After taking the order arrow, he asked numbly
"Look at the group of people who are rushing towards Huang Huahuozi." Li Xu pointed his hand outwards and explained very seriously that with his many years of combat experience, he identified the people who came to help almost the moment he climbed to the top of the city.
The reinforcements are not the Turkic wolf cavalry pretending to be "the flags are scattered and the formation is not organized. The soldiers are extremely brave, but they don't know how to look after each other. These people have hardly received any formal training, and they do not often cooperate in combat..."
"They are not Turks!" Chen Yanshou also quickly came to the conclusion. In order to cultivate Li Jiancheng's ability to command on the battlefield, Lao Changshi explained in as much detail as possible: "If the Turks pretend to be, they will not even wear the armor of thousands of Sui soldiers and horses."
Secondly, he must send people to the customs first and ask us to come out to meet people who suddenly come like this without making any contact. As long as we refuse to help, they will completely annihilate Gutuolu. If they want to
If you’re cheating, you won’t fail to consider these details!”
While everyone was pointing and talking, the soldiers and horses breaking into the camp were already approaching. The Turkic wolf cavalry near Huanghuahuozi came to kill them at all costs, trying to catch up with the reinforcements before they entered the fortress and strangle them all on the valley floor. Although the reinforcements were scattered,
, the soldiers are all extremely agile. Often, in order to kill one reinforcement, the Turks have to pay the price of two to three wolf riders.
"What a brave warrior!" Li Jiancheng's blood was boiling at the sight, and he patted the city wall and exclaimed. If he had such a group of warriors under his command, with a little training, he would no longer have to envy the Flying Tiger Army under his second brother. But how to pick up this team?
It takes a lot of trouble to reach the Great Wall. When the Turks bite them to death and refuse to let go, the attackers must ensure that after opening the mountain gate of Huanghuahuozi, there is still the possibility of closing them safely.
Seeing one hero after another fall under the siege of the Wolf Cavalry, Li Jiancheng was so anxious that he tried to pull Li Xu, hoping that his omnipotent brother-in-law could help him think of a way, but when he stretched out his hand, he pulled Li Xu.
"General Li, where has Zhong Jian gone?" Li Jiancheng was shocked and asked
"General Li asked the prince to help him handle all the military affairs in the city. He himself led the troops to pick up the reinforcements!" Chen Yanshou quickly took over Li Jiancheng's words and answered loudly. Seeing Li Jiancheng's nervous look, Old Chang Shi felt very disappointed about his lord.
Everything is good, but he is too unfamiliar with military affairs. In front of the two armies, as one of the coaches, he can't show any composure. You see, Li Zhongjian, from the beginning to the present, everything he does is in an orderly manner. It is said that he lets the lord take charge of the arrangements.
The overall situation is actually creating opportunities for the lord to show his face. If he is not absolutely sure, will he dare to hand over military power to someone like the lord and then attack with confidence? Unless he himself is in danger!
No matter how disappointed he was deep in his heart, Chen Yanshou did not dare to be careless about the military situation in front of him. "Zhong Jian led all infantry, with Chang Shanshou and Mo Daoshou as the main force." He pointed to the temporary city that Huang Huahuozi had pushed away.
He explained to Li Jiancheng in a low voice, "Changshan and Modao, with archers behind them, can completely separate the wolf cavalry from the reinforcements. Then, relying on the nearby terrain, they can form a formation and retreat slowly. As long as they retreat to the archers' position on the city wall,
Within the protection range, the enemy can no longer pose a threat to the city gate!"
As if to verify his words, the three thousand heavy armored infantry and two thousand archers who followed Li Xu quickly formed a good formation below the city wall. On the hillside on the left side of the valley, they formed a shovel shape. The number of people at the bottom of the valley and on the hillside was
The most, the team is thickest. As for the middle of the team, the formation is thin.
When some Turkic wolf cavalry saw the defenders coming out, they immediately rode up to fight. Before they could come into contact with the heavy armored infantry, they were hit by a hail of arrows. Li Xu gave the order, and the soldiers in the front row had flat ends and long spears, like an iron hedgehog.
He slowly approached the two warring parties and met the besieged reinforcements. He put them into the formation and met the Turkic wolf cavalry. Several long sticks were stabbed at them, and the men and horses were stabbed into meat skewers.
The valley near Huanghuahuozi was not spacious. Two cavalrymen fought and the valley floor was almost completely filled. Suddenly another infantry group came out, and the valley floor immediately became more crowded. At this time, the cavalry could not take advantage of the speed of the horses.
, they could only fight on the spot with their opponents. As soon as Changshan and Paidao came forward, the party that received assistance immediately became more powerful. They killed the wolf cavalry under three strikes and five divided by two.
"Keep the distance, keep the distance!" Turkic Burke, who was leading the team, saw that the situation was not good, and quickly changed his tactics. As long as he pulled the team further away, he could first launch a round of galloping fire to disintegrate the defenders' formation, and then move back.
situation
Li Xu has led soldiers for so many years, and what he is most familiar with is galloping tactics. How can the enemy get the opportunity to grab the command flag beside him and wave it. The infantry who were advancing slowly on the hillside immediately accelerated their speed and surrounded them like Turks from the side.
At the same time as they passed by, Zhou Daniu led several guards and shouted loudly, "Who are the friends here? Tangle the Turks and shave them, so that we can drink together!"
These few words were like military orders and Jianghu incisions, but they exactly matched the temper of those who came. Among the reinforcements, a black banner was immediately shaken. Under the banner, a dozen strong men shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Is General Li here? How come you don't know how to deal with the Turks? A direct descendant of Huhanxie Shanyu, the 20th generation grandson of Emperor Liu Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the master of Yanshan Mountain, a gust of wind is always in charge, Liu Jizhen is here to help
Got it!"
For fear that the people around could not hear clearly, the group of people repeatedly publicized their names, so that everyone in the city who heard it was confused and confused. Everyone knew that Hu Hanxie was married to Wang Zhaojun, the Hun monarch, and Liu Yuan was five years old.
The founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty during the Hu period. However, whether these two are related by blood is a secret that historians may not be able to clearly verify. As for the Lord of Yanshan Mountain, it was a title given to him by the person who came here. No one would recognize him anywhere, only "
With the words "gust of wind", everyone still has some impressions in their minds that they are a group of horse thieves and officers and soldiers who have been operating between the grassland and the mountainous area for a long time to suppress the bandits. They fled to the grassland to escape the Turks who were chasing them, and they fled to Yanshan to take advantage of them.
The mutual non-aggression agreement between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks was a bargain for both sides
But Yanshan Gufeng, a group of gangsters who have always lived a carefree life, suddenly thought of doing their best for the country. Everyone in the city was puzzled. While everyone was in shock and doubt, they heard Li Xu's soldiers shouting in unison.
He shouted: "Brother Liu? Gather your brothers, wrap them around the Turks and kill them while moving towards the Great Wall!"
"Brother Liu? Gather your brothers, wrap them up and kill the Turks while moving towards the Great Wall!" Zhou Daniu and other personal guards shouted these words again in unison, and the cooperation between the soldiers on both sides became more and more tacit.
They have superb riding skills. Previously, because they did not have the upper hand in numbers, they suffered a loss due to the group fight of the Turkic wolf riders. Now that the number of people is almost equal to that of the other party, how could they let the Turks widen the distance and whistle a few times?
The direction of the attack immediately changed. It turned out to be a desperate rush towards the Great Wall. Now it is to fight for the life of the wolf.
Outside the valley, Turkic wolf cavalry are constantly coming to support them, but due to the terrain, they cannot invest too many people at the same time to open the passage with bows and arrows. In the valley, it is difficult to distinguish between the family members and the enemy troops. If there is a rain of arrows, they may be shot to death.
There are more brothers than the enemy
The Turkic wolf cavalry who came to help from outside were rushing around in circles. The wolf cavalry, who was being held hostage by Li Xu and others, was also jealous. The leader, Usumi, tried several times to rush out to join his family, but the way forward was blocked by horse thieves. He saw time.
The longer the delay, the closer the enemy was to the Great Wall. Usumi couldn't help but become furious.
He has traveled across the East for many years, slaughtering countless tribes and trying to kill everyone. The opponent has almost no power to fight back. How can he be tied up like today? There is only one way to get out of the predicament. With many years of experience in battle, Usumi quickly
Come to the conclusion, find the center of the Central Plains infantry array and kill the dispatcher. The defenders will immediately turn into a herd of deer without their leader. At that time, the wolf riders will roar and pounce on them. It will be a feast of blood and flesh.
After making a circle on horseback, Usumi discovered in the crowd that her target enemy general was less than thirty steps away from her. He was directing the infantry to advance forward little by little. Without rescuing a horse thief, their strength would
As they grew stronger, dozens of Turkic warriors died violently every time they took a step forward.
"Warriors, kill him!" The scimitar in Usumi's hand suddenly pointed at the center of the infantry approaching her, and shouted sternly, "You Turkic men who grew up eating wolf's milk, kill that man!"
"Kill him, kill him!" Dozens of Turkic wolf riders echoed loudly, staring with red eyes, and rushed towards where Li Xu was.
