Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth bloody battle on
Boom boom boom!
The heavy crossbow arrows were fired from the Xiliang army formation and exploded among the Liangzhou army. The iron fragments in the crossbow arrows were scattered around. Under the violent explosion, the impact of these iron fragments was no weaker than that of a long arrow, easily piercing two weeks of soldiers.
Leather armor.
Thousands of soldiers fell down around the exploding arrows. Except for a few unlucky ones, their throats were slit by iron pieces and died. Most of the remaining people were covered in blood. They were not dead, but had lost their combat effectiveness.
Sometimes wounded soldiers are better than dead soldiers, especially considering the current situation. The other side cannot leave these wounded soldiers alone. They have to send people to transport these soldiers to the back and have them taken care of.
In this way, the number of enemies Xiliang needs to face will be much greater than Mr. Su!
"General, the square formation is very strong, and there are formations within the formation. Once they feel that they cannot withstand the height in front, they will make way for our soldiers to rush in and be eaten by the soldiers who have been waiting inside for a long time!"
A commander who came out of the front battle formation said.
"Is there a way to break the formation?" Ma Zhenyu asked.
The captain thought for a moment and shook his head: "With the current strength of the army in Heishui County, my subordinates really can't find any way to break the opponent's formation."
Ma Zhenyu was a little impatient after hearing the commander's words. If he could not break the formation before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, the army would probably be surrounded by the enemy.
"Heishui County!" Ma Zhenyu's eyes lit up: "Immediately send someone to Heishui County to meet the city chief to come to Heishui!"
"What does the general want Heishui to do? It's not to attack the city now..." The captain wanted to refuse, but suddenly he remembered that Xiliang's army was like a huge city wall at this time.
Black water can be used for defense or attack. The Xiliang army throws all kinds of war weapons at the soldiers for free. They can also use black water to throw them at the Xiliang soldiers.
Let them feel the feeling of ice and fire!
The commander immediately asked the soldiers on the side to ask for black water and take as much black water as they could.
Only those who have used it know the horror of Black Water best, because the people who are used generally do not exist in the world!
The Xiliang army formed a large formation like other hedgehogs, so the Liangzhou soldiers did not dare to approach and could only watch from a distance.
It is also difficult on the Xiliang side. The area outside the city is larger and is enough for General Li to set up his formation. If we were in a place with narrow terrain, the two sides should still be fighting at this time.
At dawn, the battle outside the city started in the middle of the night. The roaring war weapons and the tragic sounds of fighting all made the civilians in the city nervous.
If the Xiliang army cannot be blocked, then it will be civilians like them who will face the Xiliang army.
In the Ma family's propaganda, Li Xiang is not a good person. If Li Xiang hadn't been named the governor of Liangzhou, he might have turned into a murderous murderer by now.
A large number of sealed porcelain jars of black water were transported to the army. Ma Zhenyu did not hesitate at all and directly issued the order to use black water.
The soldiers who received the order rushed to the front line with black water cans and threw them at the Xiliang soldiers who were holding shields and blocking their way.
Damn!
The jar was smashed on the shield or the armor of the Xiliang soldiers. The black liquid inside quickly flowed out, and an unpleasant smell came out.
The centurion of Xiliang who was on the outermost edge recognized this thing immediately.
"Black Water, the enemy uses Black Water!"
The centurion shouted loudly, and the Xiliang infantry did not take a step back. The soldiers behind looked at the people in front and silently retreated a little bit.
Chen Huaihe didn't rest all night. When the smell of black water reached his nose, he knew what the other party was planning. They were going to burn them alive.
"Fuck!" Li Xiang pulled out the local halberd, and the opponent used black oil, which meant that their military formation could no longer be maintained, and the opponent already had a way to crack it.
The most indispensable thing in Heishui County is Heishui!
Li Xiang didn't know how much black water the other party had prepared this time. He would never let the other party have the opportunity to ignite the black water!
"Send my order!" Prime Minister Li shouted loudly to the other side of the ring: "The whole army attacks!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The Xiliang soldiers on the other side of the ring did not hesitate and directly sounded the marching horn. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion also drew their horizontal knives. Once the two sides fought hand-to-hand, their long-range troops, except for the archers and crossbowmen, were as big as their hands.
Some of the war weapons that have ranged attacks cannot be used for fear of accidentally killing Xiliang's own troops!
"Kill out!"
Li Xiang led his cavalry to kill in the direction of Ma Zhenyu. The Xiliang soldiers who were resting in the formation heard the drums and all stood up. Under the leadership of their respective commanders and centurions, they formed small squares.
Array.
The soldier who was squatting on the ground in front stood up and raised the large shield in his hand to the side to form a passage.
Li Xiang looked at the direction of the opponent's big banner, shot the man first, shot the horse first, and captured the enemy first, the king.
"General, the other side can't hold it any longer!" Several young people beside Ma Zhenyu stood at a high place behind. When they saw the Xiliang army taking the initiative to fight them,
"Order the troops to fire rockets at me. They reacted very quickly and threw a lot of black water into it. They need to feel the warmth in the cold winter!" Ma Zhenyu said with a smile.
The messengers on the side immediately arranged to send people to rule the long archers. There were very few specialized archers in their army. They did not have a magical place like the Xiliang shooting range. It only took a short time to recruit an archer.
.
For the archers outside, it is impossible for an archer to become a qualified archer without two or three years of training.
More than 500 archers holding long flaming arrows aimed at the outer front of the Xiliang Shi army. At this time, the outer front was in chaos.
The Xiliang soldiers who came out of the military formation were fighting with the Liangzhou soldiers who surrounded the formation, but the Xiliang army's military formation was still intact.
Whoosh!
A long arrow with flames fell from the sky to the ground. When the Xiliang soldiers holding shields saw the flames, their first reaction was to pick up their weapons and take a step back.
boom!
When the flames met the black water, they burned instantly. The armor and pants of the Xiliang soldiers were stained with a lot of black water. The fire started to burn, and soon all the places with black water were on fire.
Before Li Xiang ran out of the formation, he saw a wall of flames appearing in the formation.
"kill!"
The soldiers of Xiliang, with their bodies covered in flames, rushed out of the military formation. Their bodies were covered with flames. They were like evil ghosts killed from the underworld. Among the soldiers of Liangzhou, the pain caused by the high temperature caused the soldiers of Xiliang to tremble from time to time.
The painful moans made them become even more terrifying.
They were originally brave and unafraid of death, but now they became even more crazy, fighting with their lives for lives, and one person took away several Liangzhou soldiers.
"Come with me!" Li Xiang stopped looking at the soldiers, rode his horse out of the flaming city wall, and braved the flames to fight out.
All the infantry in the Xiliang army were killed. The Heishui County defenders originally surrounded the Xiliang troops. After fighting with the Xiliang soldiers, they were beaten back by the Xiliang soldiers.
Prime Minister Li has his eye on the enemy's army. This unit is the key. The soldiers in Heishui County can only be regarded as ordinary troops, just like the Xiliang Eighth Army.
On the Xiliang side, they can only be used to defend the city. If they are taken out to fight in the field, they are afraid that they will be killed by the enemy and collapse.
Five hundred personal guards and cavalry followed behind, and Prime Minister Li was unstoppable holding the Fangtian Halberd.
When Ma Zhenyu saw Li Xiang coming with his cavalry, he knew who that person was without even looking.
"Quick, let the people who are ready go up!"
Ma Zhenyu had a thousand heavy infantry in his hands, which he had obtained from the Third Elder specifically to force Li Xiang to use the heavy infantry to fight against Li Xiangqin's cavalry guards.
When dealing with the Xiliang army, they must be careful with Prime Minister Li. This is what they saw from the information. Prime Minister Li is the backbone of the army and the one who breaks the formation among the Xiliang troops. He must be the first to fight.
Not only Li Xiang, but the entire Xiliang army has this trend. The general must rush to the front first. This can indeed boost morale, but once the general dies, it will be a terrible blow to the army, and it will be very difficult.
It may cause the army to collapse.
They just want to take advantage of this shortcoming of the Xiliang army. As long as Prime Minister Li is restrained and unable to successfully break the formation, the Xiliang troops behind will not be a problem!
The Liangzhou heavy infantry covered with armor and a thousand soldiers armed with long swords blocked the front of Li Xiangqin's cavalry.
If you want to defeat the cavalry, you must slow down the cavalry and kill the horse first and then the man!
Li Xiang rushed left and right in the army. The more he fought, the less space he felt. The infantry cooperated very well. They were limiting their speed. When the cavalry trembled and slowed down, they would be surrounded and killed by the enemy.
But it's hard to get out. It feels like I'm stuck in a quagmire and it's hard to get out.
Li Xiangchong had been fighting for a while, sweat broke out on his forehead, and the square halberd in his hand was covered with blood. There were still about 300 people left among the 500 personal guards. Cheng Jushu and Cheng Jurong were also panting, and the ax was tangled with a layer of hair.
Li Xiang hasn't felt this very tired feeling for a long time, but the unparalleled value is also full!
"Jushu, take the brothers and fight out!" Li Xiang killed several soldiers who surrounded him with a halberd: "It's time for you to rest, leave the rest to me!"
Prime Minister Li stared at the enemy's banner. The enemy's general was also there.
Cheng Jushu wiped the blood on his face: "My lord, when will the personal guards abandon the general and leave alone?
My Lord, you kill him first, I will catch up later!"
Prime Minister Li swung his heavenly halberd and killed two more enemies. He smiled at Cheng Jushu and said, "Okay!"
"Turn on Wushuang!"
That kind of power appeared again. Xingyi jumped more than ten meters away. When he landed, the surrounding Liangzhou soldiers fell down one after another. Li Xiang raised his hand and struck with a powerful force, causing more than a dozen Liangzhou soldiers to fall down.
The thick armor could not block their attacks.
Xing Liao spread his legs and ran, targeting the enemy's army.
boom!
Thousands of Liangzhou soldiers flew up. Ma Zhenyu and several young men around him stared blankly at Li Xiang, who was already charging in the military formation. There was not a single soldier who could slow down along the way.
"Leave immediately with the big flag!" A deep voice came from an old man in red armor holding a silver-white spear: "Li Xiang is possessed!"
The old man was one of the two grand masters who fought against Li Xiang on the battlefield last time. That time, the two of them despised Li Xiang. They thought that he was at most better than the average first-class master and did not pay too much attention to it, which led to Ma Jin's death in battle.
This time, the old man's mission is still to protect these young talents, and at the same time he also wants to fight Li Xiang again.
They lost miserably in the last fight. After going back and digesting their thoughts, their strength improved to a higher level and they wanted to fight Li Xiang again.
In his normal state, Li Xiang gave him a strong feeling before and was no match for him. When he saw the black energy surrounding Li Xiang's body, he knew that the invincible Li Xiang on the battlefield had appeared!
"Drive!" The old man rode on the white war horse he brought and rushed towards Li Xiang. When Ma Zhenyu heard the old man's words, he said without any hesitation: "Move!"
Under normal circumstances, Dahu will not move, because his presence is to tell the soldiers in front that the general is watching you from behind, so you should behave well.
Stabilize military morale!
drink!
Prime Minister Li's halberd flew out, and the soldiers blocking the front were cut in half.
Buzz!
A silver-white spear went straight to Li Xiang's heart. Li Xiang's body turned to one side, and the spear passed through the armor, causing dazzling sparks. A red war horse passed him.
Li Xiang held the Fangtian Halberd in his right hand and smashed it to the back very fast.
boom!
The old man held the gun in both hands and blocked it, and the huge power was transmitted to the horse. The red horse under him was also extraordinary, and it withstood Li Xiang's blow.
"Yu!"
Li Xiang pulled the reins, and Xing Liao quickly turned around and rushed towards the red horse. The old man felt the killing intent coming from behind and knew that Li Xiang was targeting him.
Then have a good fight!
Li Xiang stared at the old man because the two of them were the only ones on the battlefield who could restrain him and allow him to make a sneak attack.
Don’t kill the others yet, but you must not keep the old man in front of you, kill him first!
Otherwise, when he is facing the enemy, he will do what he did just now. If he loses his concentration, he will also suffer a loss!
Moreover, the direction in which the old man ran happened to be the direction in which the enemy was moving.
Xing Liao suddenly accelerated while running, leaving an afterimage on the spot. He led Li Xiang to the back of the old man, and Fang Tianji thrust forward. The opponent seemed to have eyes behind him, and the spear flicked Fang Tianji away.
.
嘡嘡嘡!
Xing Liao kept the same distance as the opponent. The Fang Tianji in Li Xianghe's hand collided fiercely with the opponent's spear. The power released from the two of them knocked away the surrounding soldiers. These were all soldiers from Liangzhou side.
The more he beats Li Xiang, the stronger he becomes. The huge amount of true energy in his body is just to enable him to use martial arts unscrupulously.
As the old man fought, he found that he was at a disadvantage, and the direction he was moving forward was towards Dahu. His use of the power of heaven and earth to suppress Li Xiang was of no use.
Instead, under the pressure of Prime Minister Li, he started to kill Dahu bit by bit.
"Zhenyu, move quickly!" The old man said these words with his true energy and did not dare to be distracted. There was a wound on his face and blood was flowing.
