Chapter 3 Beacon Fire (7)

Just as he was praising his father's wisdom, a fast horse rushed towards him with a diagonal thrust. "General Li ordered your troops to continue attacking and expand the results of the battle." The messenger on horseback shouted, raising an arrow high.

, "The Chinese army is going to join the right wing! The general has orders, and the rest of the left wing's affairs will be left to you!"

The Flying Tiger Army was not under the control of Li Xu, so he had no right to issue orders to the Second Young Master. Changsun Wuji frowned and was about to scold him. But he was shocked to see that the Second Young Master, who was usually unwilling to be subordinate to others, took the order flag without hesitation.

, and then pointed the tip of the knife high and straight ahead.

"Brothers, kill the thieves!" Li Shimin pointed his machete at the defeated tribal warriors and shouted loudly.

"Kill the thieves! Don't give them time to breathe!" Hou Junji, who was always smart, seemed to be stupid at this moment. Instead of protesting to the messenger, he followed Li Shimin closely. Two thousand flying tiger soldiers immediately took over the Chinese army.

The task was to rush diagonally from the flanks to the front and become the main force in chasing down the enemy. The Chinese army that was originally responsible for the frontal attack slowly slowed down under the leadership of Li Xu, and waited until the left wing troops and horses had completely taken over.

After the mission, turn around and go right.

The tribal warriors who were fleeing in embarrassment did not even notice that the number of enemy troops behind them had been reduced by two-thirds. They fled for their lives like frightened silly roe deer, not daring to look back at their pursuers. The Flying Tiger Army pursuers behind them.

Under the command of Li Shimin, they controlled the attack rhythm like the main force. Whenever the fugitives slowed down, they immediately pounced on them like wolves, tearing open the throat of the slowest runner. Whenever the enemy fell into chaos again,

They quietly tightened the reins of their horses again.

This was a completely one-sided massacre, and the Flying Tiger Army did not need to take any risks. After chasing the footprints of the tribal warriors for half a mile, Changsun Wuji finally understood Xu Zi’s intentions. Although the messengers from the Chinese army behaved rudely,

, but at this moment, whoever Asahi entrusts the task of chasing and escaping is tantamount to giving away a lot of military exploits in vain.

"After all, he is the person Tang Gong values." Changsun Wuji, who understood the other party's good intentions, thought sarcastically. Taking advantage of the moment when the attack rhythm slowed down, he turned around and looked around, and saw the fire of the Shili Alliance Group behind him. Six thousand frontier troops.

They passed through the flames like wind, and nothing could block their fierce figures.

The barbarian camp, which had been plowed twice by the Central Plains cavalry, had turned into a hell on earth. Countless mutilated corpses lay there, some were stabbed to death by cavalry with long spears, and some were trampled to death by horse hooves. Some of them died.

The people who escaped were holding a pile of stolen pots and pans, squatting next to the burning fire and shivering. They were completely frightened and did not know how to escape, even if they heard the thundering sound of horse hooves again,

He didn't know how to stand up and avoid the shining sharp edge.

Xu Zi did not stay in the smashed camp. Those guys who were lucky enough to escape under the horse's hooves were no longer worthy of tarnishing his black sword. He rushed to meet Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin, both of whom were in uniform.

Xuzi, a son of the county, once promised Zhang Xutuo to try his best to bring these simple brothers back to Henan, so he was unwilling to let the soldiers of the county bear too much sacrifice.

It's not that he believes in the bravery of Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin. In fact, it is precisely because Qin and Luo are so brave that it is even more worrying. Xuzi, who has been guided by Zhang Xutuo for nearly two years, no longer simply thinks about how to defeat the enemy.

, what he was thinking more about was how to minimize the sacrifice of his own family while defeating the enemy. As Li Shimin and Samurai Xun discovered, he was no longer the brave general who only knew how to fight, but in actual combat.

, and gradually mastered all the skills of being the commander of an army.

These were all things that Master Yang had never recorded in his notes back then. Unknowingly, Xu Zi had broken away from that notebook and entered a whole new realm. In total, he had studied under Master Yang, Sun Jiu,

There are also coppersmith masters, Qian Shixiong, Liu Hongji and Zhang Xutuo, but now the things taught by these people have slowly been integrated, disappeared, and finally belong to him.

Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin advanced very quickly. With their skillful cooperation and strict formation, they trampled all the large camps into dust. No one could withstand the parallel impact of these two iron triangles, and the tribes who hurriedly jumped on their horses

The warrior barely had time to discern the direction before he was cut off from the saddle by a horizontal sword. More tribal warriors did not even have a chance to mount their horses. They were naked, carrying scimitars, and saw two huge triangles heading toward them.

Pressing down on his head, he saw groups of companions being cut into pieces by the Iron Triangle, and then trampled into pulp by the cavalry that rushed up.

"Mother!" the timid ones cried in the crowd. They didn't care about wearing boots and clothes, or the looted property, and ran around. Amid the cries of ghosts and wolves, the legs of the brave ones became weak.

The Sui cavalry that came in formation were like a pack of furious wild wolves, with blood dripping from their teeth, launching fatal attacks on any living creature that dared to stand in front of them. They didn't know how to pause, and they didn't care about being injured. As long as their bodies didn't fall, they would fight.

They would not close their bloody mouth tightly. The fortresses of the tribal alliance were roared and torn apart by them, bitten into pieces, and turned into a pile of fire and corpses.

In the past, Luo Shixin was always discouraged by Zhang Xutuo and Qin Shubao from killing and surrendering soldiers on the grounds of "harming Tianhe" or "having compassion for the general". But tonight, not only did Qin Shubao not say a single word,

, and he also went on a killing spree. Luo Shixin once personally saw in a quick glance that the always kind-hearted second brother Qin used all his weapons to knock down several tribal warriors who had abandoned their weapons. The newly recruited soldiers from the border area next to him

The guide screamed and rushed forward, slashing once and again until the fallen man could no longer move. Then he ran towards the next opponent with the broken horizontal sword.

"His grandma is more ruthless than me!" Luo Shixin was shocked by several recruits in the team who killed the escapees, and murmured.

"Revenge!" The recruit who was slashing the enemy seemed to have heard his words. He suddenly turned back and his blood-red eyes widened.

They were originally a group of honest border residents, and their highest goal in life was to live peacefully. They have lived at the foot of the Great Wall for generations. After hundreds of years of intermarriage, it is difficult to tell what is flowing in their bodies based on their family trees.

The Han people are still the blood of the Hu people.

They had no good impression of the imperial court, and often ignored the grain and taxes assigned by the government. During the Sui Dynasty's conscription, they even fled outside the Great Wall to avoid military service. But today, they had to take up the sword.

Because the invaders did not care whether they were Hu people or Han people, whether they were loyal to the court or idle clouds and wild cranes, they robbed all their property, killed their wives and children, and burned down their houses without distinction.

Therefore, they had to defend their right to survive. It was not because they were violent, but because the invaders forced them to face up to the differences between them and the blood and ethnic affiliation that they usually ignored.

"Keep the formation!" Luo Shixin emphasized loudly, "The only way to kill more is to keep the formation!" He waved his long spear, which was already moistened with blood, and stabbed it into the heart of the defeated soldier in front of the horse.

The two groups of cavalry always maintained a complete formation. Anyone caught in the middle of the iron triangle, whether human or animal, had no chance of survival. The terrified tribal warriors who were killed tried their best to escape to both sides to avoid the oncoming attacks.

They came with sharp blades. In order not to become the next prey, they did not hesitate to use machetes to cut a bloody path between their companions. Some people simply rode their horses and jumped over the heads of their companions, stepping on the body of Pao Ze and escaping into the darkness.

The wilderness in the dark is the safest, although the behavior of escaping from battle will be ridiculed by the tribe for life. They dare not look back and listen to the screams of the robes. The attacks of the Central Plains people are too sharp, and standing in front of them is tantamount to committing suicide.

Several white feathers suddenly flew from the darkness, shooting the fleeing war horses and the riders on their backs to the ground. "Woo-wu-wu-wu!" The shrill horn sound tore through the darkness, followed closely.

Then, tens of thousands of war horses rushed out of the night and ran across the chaotic battlefield.

In an instant, both the enemy and ourselves were stunned. After a few breaths, the tribal warriors who had been killed were frightened as if they had seen an adult's child, crying and running towards the galloping horses. That was their reinforcements, the closest to Guo County.

A reinforcement army arrived. The flag with the wolf's head on it was so friendly. As long as you fled under the flag, it meant eternal safety.

"Change the formation. Change the formation, the forwards close up, the rear troops spread out, northward, sharp edge!" Qin Shubao also immediately discovered the changes on the battlefield and shouted loudly. The horn sounded like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring. Hearing his own military order, he was facing the enemy.

The two thousand county soldiers running rampant in the military camp suddenly turned in a beautiful arc. The triangular formation converged into a square formation, and then the center of the square formation quickly bulged, and the two wings sloped back. A brand-new blade formation was running and fighting.

Finished quickly.

This is an emergency plan that has been practiced hundreds of times by the county soldiers and has been tested countless times in actual combat. The newly-killed Turkic troops were blocked by their own insurgents and could not immediately enter the battle, so they had to watch the Sui army.

He adjusted his formation less than 200 steps in front of him. Several leading Ye Hu looked at each other, unable to believe that what they saw was real. In their memory, there had never been any cavalry on the grassland that could fight.

Suddenly changing the formation, let alone fighting, changing formations, and changing the direction of attack.

Before they could recover from the shock, the Sui army in front of them had already launched. "Kill, let them taste our power!" Qin Shubao rode his horse, danced with his spear, and led his brothers to stab the most eye-catching wolf head.
