Li Jue saw it from the watchtower. He held the knife handle with his left hand tightly, as if he wanted to pull the knife out. The soldiers beside him hurriedly went downstairs to convey the order, asking the most elite Huangzhong Yicong in the army to put on his armor and mount his horse.
, they are Hu people who fought back from the Qiang Rebellion, and their fighting prowess is extraordinary. They have repeatedly made military exploits in previous wars. At this moment, they are gearing up. Once the breakthrough is big enough, Li Jue will give the order and they will immediately mount their horses.
Charge in and trample everyone into a pulp.
At this time, in order to block the gap, Bingren organized elite troops to fight back. Since Li Ying's department had the largest gap, they took the lead from here. The Bingren who fought back all had iron pockets and shining armor, and each of them drank a lot of water.
A bowl of strong wine, with the strength of the wine, he picked up a heavy knife or a long spear and rushed forward, rushing towards the direction of Liang Ren's breakthrough.
Like a sudden wave of rising tide in a river, the Liang soldiers in front were stabbed with long sticks and slashed with knives, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. The soldiers quickly embedded themselves among the Liang people, cutting and surrounding them.
He was divided into several pieces, surrounded and killed. Dozens of people under Li Ying, the captain of the school, died in the battle, and his deputy Beigong Zheng desperately tried to send him out of the fence. He himself was deeply surrounded by others, just hoping to take the opportunity to kill himself or capture him.
They died together. However, the blood on their heads was left along their foreheads, and there was a blur of blood in front of them. Except for the reflection of the bright iron armor and iron tools around them, nothing else could be seen clearly.
Bei Gongzheng was waving his long knife in vain, making his last struggle before death. It wasn't until someone slashed his left arm with a sharp knife that he stumbled onto the muddy ground full of blood, dying.
, he finally asked: "Who killed me?" The man replied loudly: "You can go in peace! The person who killed you was Zhang Wenyuan from Mayi!"
Seeing the soldiers who broke through the fence being killed one after another, both Li Jue and Jia Xu were heartbroken. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Jia Xu patted Li Jue's hand and said, "We can't wait any longer, otherwise today will be in vain again."
." Li Jue frowned and shook his head and said: "The gap is not big. Even if the horse gets in, it will not be able to run. It will be surrounded and killed by dogs!" Before Jia Xu could say anything, several of the watchtower's followers said first: "
We are knights, please let us die on our horses!"
Jia Xu continued to persuade: "Although the fence has not been completely broken now, if we don't let the cavalry fight, those gaps will soon be blocked. General, we have walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood over the years, don't wait any longer!"<
/p>
Li Jue glanced at him and agreed immediately.
In an instant, the horns of the merging army were blaring, and Li Jue'ai general Zhang Bao and Zhang Long led a thousand cavalry Huang Zhongyi from the leap to the entrance of the fence in the melee. The dismounted knights who were swarming in the gap saw the reinforcements coming and retreated to both sides.
Make room for them to pass.
The gap was narrow, allowing only two horses to pass through. There were not many Liang people left in the fence, and they all retreated to the side of the gap. Li Ying, who led the unit, was also carried out with several knives in his body, and directed the Liang people outside the fence to shoot arrows.
As well as the thorns to support the front. After Huang Zhongyi squeezed in, he rushed forward with his whip. After being trampled repeatedly by countless people, the ground had turned into a layer of mud that reached the top of his boots. The war horses were in the mud.
As they ran, the hoofs of the horses were still slipping, and the blood and mud they brought were flying around. But even so, there were several horses running towards the people, which still caused a certain degree of panic to the people.
These cavalry quickly stagnated in the merge, suffered random stabs from the left and right, and fell down bloody. However, the following cavalry continued to enter the fence, although only two at a time. From a distance, it looked like a rout.
A dike with a small opening blocked the torrent, but it also failed to prevent the flood from slowly gushing out of the gap.
As dozens of cavalry entered the gap, the war horses circled back and forth on a muddy ground. Once they started running, it was difficult for them to easily deliver a fatal blow, which bought time for more cavalry to enter later. The rest of the battle was left at the gap.
Hundreds of dismounted knights, under the command of Li Ying, took the opportunity to work together to further destroy the fence, and launched rounds of short-distance charges against the exhausted Bing people, stabbing them down, trampling them down, or driving them backwards. Unfortunately, Zhang Bao's horse's hoof got stuck in a horizontal ditch and he couldn't move for a while. An armored man nearby slashed at him with a knife. He ignored the man's chops and raised his long sword and struck back at him.
Bingren was stabbed, and he was seriously injured. He knelt down on the ground and couldn't get up. But Bingren's random knives injured Zhang Bao's left leg, waist and abdomen. He couldn't feel the severe pain, and blood was gurgling from between them.
The blood flowed out from the side of the body, and the horse's belly was dyed blood red. Without the owner to drive, the horse sat in the mud and struggled to get out. It was exhausted, and it lay on its side with Zhang Bao and fell into the mud.
.
After this brief stalemate, the balance of victory seemed to be tilted towards the attackers again. About a hundred Liang cavalrymen had already rushed into the fence, and the merging army was driven back by the tall Liangzhou horses. They gradually became unable to withstand it. Many people were
They turned around and ran away. They crowded together, broke up and fled in all directions.
Li Jue and Jia Xu, who were directing the battle from the watchtower, both breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the situation was gradually improving, the Liang Cavaliers were chasing the defeated soldiers to the area of the watchtower. The defenders on the watchtower were condescending and kept using arrows to repel the enemy, giving their comrades downstairs some time to regroup.
The knights didn't take it seriously. They dispersed their formation on horseback and circled back and forth on the ground. From time to time, they used short axes to chop down the pillars of the watchtower. However, the archers upstairs missed their targets and could only watch the watchtower crumbling.
But at this moment, the scattered people regrouped and ran all the way to the road behind the watchtower. This road was a slope, facing a lot of grass and covered with blue cloth. This made Liang Qi
They were quite surprised. They stopped for a while and looked at it in surprise. Soon, they regretted their rashness and hesitation. And people lifted up the blue cloth, pulled away the grass, and revealed the things inside in the drizzle.
It turned out that there were more than a dozen five-foot-high rolling stones inside. There were crowbars placed behind the rolling stones. Four people held one and worked together to press down. The rolling stones were pried out of the haystack and slowly moved along the slope.
They rolled slowly, then quickly. They changed from slow to fast, and then flew from fast to flying, splashing mud and water all the way down.
The Liang cavalry were actually very nimble and could easily escape. However, the Liang cavalry had never seen such a battle before. The horses were frightened by the sudden change and could not stand the loud noise and power of the rolling stones.
, all panicked and running around. The knight on the horse wanted to rein in his mount, but where could he?
The frightened Liangqi fled in all directions, which gave the people a chance, and people knew that it was not easy to stop the enemy, so they had already prepared cavalry here. Zhang Liao, who was fighting on the front line, saw that the situation had worsened, and immediately ran back to change horses.
Then he ordered the other riders to rush towards Liangqi along with the rolling stones.
The rolling stones rolled down the slope, and several Liang knights were very unlucky. They were hit by the rolling stones and flew out immediately. The rolling stones did not stop at all, cutting into the cheese like a sharp knife, killing the incoming Liang people.
It broke into two pieces. But he didn't stop. He crashed through the fence and rolled down the stone path. Liang Ren who was guarding beside the stone path was caught off guard and was crushed into a pulp by the rolling stone. He continued until he was about five meters down the slope.
After more than ten steps, the rolling stones stopped. They carved a tunnel that was neither deep nor shallow in the mud. Water quickly filled the tunnel, glowing with a darker or lighter blood color.
At this moment, the morale and formation of the Liang people were greatly reduced. Zhang Liao led his troops to pursue and kill him in front, while the soldiers on both sides attacked behind.
The Liang people who were originally in and near the fence were soon submerged in the torrent of counterattacks by the Japanese. If a few people could survive, they had become prisoners of the Japanese.
Poor Zhang Bao was so injured that he couldn't move. I wonder if he was crushed into a pulp by the rolling stones, or he bled to death? If so, it would have fulfilled everyone's vow to die on the horse before the trip.
Originally, the Liang people came with many cavalry, and fighting in the wilderness was what they wanted. Unfortunately, the horses did not obey the command at this time, and their huge size turned out to be a burden. Huangzhong Yicong, who was in the front, was famous all over the world, and was rushed at this time.
They were all in pieces, but they became the prey of the merging people who were killing them like a swarm. Although they did not prepare any more rolling stones, their confidence increased greatly and they continued to pursue and beat the defeated Liangqi. At this time,
If the troops cannot be regrouped and the situation is reversed, the Liang army will surely collapse!
In this critical moment, there was no need for Jia Xu to say anything. Li Jue understood that it was time for him to personally boost his morale. Xu Rong's army in the north also encountered the same situation. He saw that Xu Rong's Jianwei flag had been raised.
, ran directly towards the fence, obviously wanting to take the lead, and he himself had to do the same.
He went down to the watchtower, put on his saddlebags, got on his horse, said nothing, just shouted loudly, pulled out his knife, and rode forward alone.
Originally, his close followers were waiting for Li Jue to give orders downstairs, but now they saw him riding into the battle alone, and were a little overwhelmed. Jia Xu also came down, carrying a big flag and asked them: "Can you kill the enemy?"
Blood rushed upwards, and they all galloped after Li Jue, roaring out like a strong wind. The military flag held by Jia Xu was not Li Jue's flag, but the black background Dong Zhuo used when he was still campaigning in Liangzhou.
The Yellow Horse Picture of Longshan, the flag is fluttering in the wind at this time, like a yellow horse galloping in the wind and rain.
This cavalry of more than a hundred people turned over the turf and wet mud, like an arrow off the string, and quickly rushed to Fengzhengyuan, going against the attack of the Bingren and the direction of the retreat of the Liang people. The cavalrymen who were retreating at the same time
As they passed each other, someone stood up and shouted: "You run away! You are all waiting to be beaten to ashes by these beasts!" After that, the flying horse passed by.
Upon seeing this, many people in Liangzhou, with their burdens doubled, turned their horses and followed the general in the direction of the battle. Liangzhou in the distance saw the military flag flying into the battle, and they were all shocked and said: "It's the general who is rushing into the battle."
Are you there?" They were originally at a loss for the sudden chaotic situation, hesitating and fearing. Now that they saw the yellow horse entering the battle, they immediately knew their direction. It was nothing more than joining the battle with their master, and all matters of life and death were thrown out of their minds.
Later, more people gathered and launched a counterattack against the merged people.
In an instant, the situation reversed again. Lu Bu was watching the battle in the city. The northeastern side of the fence was riddled with holes. It seemed that he could not stop him. If he continued to fight, he would have no geographical advantage and there would be many traps.
Seven or eight, there is really no advantage. If you continue to struggle and cannot get out of the battle, it will be difficult to hold on from behind, so I ordered: "We have a small victory today, please withdraw your troops!"
As the sound of truce sounded, the city gate opened, and people threw away a bunch of corpses and entered the city one after another. Xu Rong and Li Jue, who were closest to the city gate, also knew that this was not a good time to attack the city, so they made a truce at the right time.
, while removing the fence, he collected the bodies of his colleagues.
At night, the number of people was counted. The losses on this day were beyond everyone's expectations. More than 300 people were killed or wounded. Among the Liang people, more than 500 people were killed or captured. There were still more than 600 people who were too injured to fight, and some were slightly injured.
Countless. Although the loss of more than a thousand people was less than 1% of the Liang army, no one dared to look down upon Lu Bu's troops again.
During the military meeting in the evening, even Niu Fu, who despised Lu Bu the most, could not help but sigh: "This city is not a trivial matter, and we cannot take it without all our strength."
