Chapter 178

The dust and smoke from behind the military array and the faint cry of killing made Li Xiaozong's heart tighten fiercely. Li Xiaozong began to feel uneasy when the Manchu wolf came face to face with two thousand Manchu flag cavalry. He and Mandu wolf have been opponents for three years. He knows what the other party's temperament is, so after he finds something wrong, the first thing he does is order pan Mei to quickly retreat with a team from the Zhechong camp to guard Qingxia, but... It's still late.

A qualified general can roughly judge the number of enemies from the smoke and dust raised behind him. Li Xiaozong did not need to send scouts to inquire about the news, but he could guess that Pan Mei's men and horses in the zigzag camp had fallen into a siege at this time. Coupled with Pan Mei's arrogant temperament, she may not still maintain the formation when retreating. It's really worrying whether that zigzag camp can be saved under the sudden attack.

"Zhao Sen, you take a zigzag camp and go back to support pan Mei immediately. You should take your own tactics according to the situation. If pan Mei can be saved, you must save him. If pan Mei is deeply trapped and difficult to rescue, you should take someone to tear open the hole immediately and ensure that the canyon is unblocked anyway!"

"General!"

Zhao Sen said eagerly, "if I take another zhechoing battalion, you will only have two zhechoing battalion troops left. 2400 infantry... Mandu wolf has 2000 elite cavalry, I'm afraid..."

"You don't have time to worry about me."

Li Xiaozong said coldly, "I said that since I am your commander today, you have only one choice to obey any of my orders, and you should understand that compared with opening the channel for the follow-up brigade, my side is insignificant."

"Here!"

Looking at Li Xiaozong's resolute face, Zhao Sen knew he could not shake the young general's determination. Although Li Xiaozong was cautious enough to lead his troops out of the canyon, he still made the mistake of neglecting the enemy and advancing rashly. According to the twelve military orders issued by his Majesty the emperor of the great Sui Dynasty, if someone has ulterior motives to catch it, it is already a capital crime.

He didn't know the young general very well. He only knew that he was from the Li family in Longyou and the nephew of General Li Yuanshan. When he was in the martial arts academy, President Zhou even praised him more than once. Of course, he also knew that Li Xiaozong was a man who had just been revived before the war. He had almost lost his future and life before.

Zhao Sen had no respect for such a young and famous general. But today, Li Xiaozong's face definitely gave him a heartfelt admiration.

"Take care, general!"

Zhao Sen hugged his fist and then turned away.

"Wait!"

Li Xiaozong stopped him and said, "blow the horn and gather the two hundred cavalry who have scattered. If pan Mei can't be rescued, you can tear a hole with the two hundred cavalry and kill them."

"We only have these two hundred cavalry. We'd better keep them to support the general!"

Zhao Sen said loudly.

"Yes..."

Li Xiaozong sighed, "we only have 200 cavalry, which is very precious. But this is the battlefield. It is precisely because the 200 cavalry are expensive that they should be used in the most suitable place. Go... No matter what the war situation on my side is, you are not allowed to turn back to support. Even if I die here, you don't have to collect the body. Qingxia... Is your position."

"Here!"

Zhao Sen shouted, rubbed his sour nose and strode away. After taking away a folding camp, Li Xiaozong's men and horses became thinner and thinner. The man Du wolf opposite didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, but watched Li Xiaozong divide troops again with great interest.

"Tall!"

Seeing that a member of the Sui army's rear team was separated, the man Du wolf smiled and ordered, "here are three hundred people's teams. Dare you tear the Sui army from the middle!"

The man named tale is a very burly and vigorous grassland man, with the typical whiskers of grassland people, thick eyebrows and angry eyes, and his voice is like a bell.

"How dare you, general? If you are willing to reward me as a beauty in northern Liaoning, I dare to kill fan Gu with 300 horses!"

"Ha ha!"

The man Du wolf laughed and said, "if you capture Li Xiaozong alive, I will reward you two beauties in northern Liao and a cold horse from northern Liao!"

"Thank you, general!"

Tale hehe smiled and didn't pay any attention to the more than 2000 Sui elite soldiers opposite.

"Children, come with me to kill!"

With a loud roar, he took off the mace tied to his back and urged the horse to rush out. Three hundred Manchu flag cavalry followed him and rushed forward with howling. It looks like 300 hungry wolves who see their prey. The speed of Mongolian Yuan cavalry is extremely fast. Everyone is a good hand in horse control. They can even easily ride wild horses without saddles and pedals, just as it is natural for southerners to drive boats.

Three hundred cavalry formed a sharp looking conical array with tale as the arrow and rushed to the big Sui army array.

This was the first direct confrontation between the Mongolian Yuan people and the Sui people in more than 100 years. Although the scale of this confrontation is not large, it is of far-reaching significance. Both Mandu wolf and Li Xiaozong know the significance of this first war. Whoever wins will take the lead.

If the Mongolian Yuan people slaughtered all the 5000 Sui troops passing through the canyon, the pride of the soldiers of the great Sui Dynasty would be severely smashed open a gap.

"Invincible in a hundred battles?"

Mandu wolf looked at the strong red flag of the Sui war flying opposite, and a cold smile came out of his mouth: "what I broke today is your false name of being invincible in a hundred battles!"

…….

…….

"Zhang Zhen, Cui min comes."

Li Xiaozong shouted, "you two protect your wings and don't move without my military order. Even if Meng Yuan's cavalry rushed into the Chinese army and didn't hear the horn, you are not allowed to rescue!"

"Here!"

The other two toothed generals Zhang Zhen and Cui min answered at the same time and returned to the two wings to preside over the battle.

"Archer!"

Li Xiaozong urged his horse to move forward and commanded himself in front of the battle line.

"Shoot the arrow!"

With Li Xiaozong's order, the front row of archers drew a special feather arrow from the arrow pot. The whole body of this feather arrow is painted bright red, which is thicker than ordinary feather arrows. After the order, the archers in the first row immediately put this special feather arrow on the bow string, and more than 100 people fired the arrow in a neat and uniform manner. The elevation of their arrow is very high, and the feather arrow is the limit of the range of their hard bow.

More than a hundred red feather arrows shot out, drew a beautiful arc in mid air and landed one after another. About 230 steps away, a red line appeared on the ground. This feather arrow is called a standard arrow. The function is to let the archer know clearly when the enemy enters range.

When the hooves of the 300 cavalry in tale jumped over the red line composed of arrows, Li Xiaozong fiercely raised the flag.

"First round, shoot, shoot!"

More than 300 archers immediately raised their hard bows and replaced them with expensive armor piercing cones. This feather arrow can easily tear open the thin iron armor. Unless the enemy wears several layers of thick leather armor or expensive Chain Armor, he can't stop the shooting of armor breaking cone.

The first round of feather arrows drew an arc in mid air, and more than 300 feather arrows smashed into the array of Manchu flag cavalry like hail falling in mid air. The first round of ejection is a coverage attack, with no accuracy. However, this kind of attack is difficult to defend because of its large coverage and the fact that the feather arrows always fall from mid air. For the group charge of infantry, the archers on the defensive side have great lethality. But for the light cavalry moving forward at great speed, the lethality of the projectile is greatly reduced.

The feather arrow fell into the crowd of Manchu flag cavalry, and immediately twenty or thirty cavalry were shot down. Taler waved a mace and dropped two feather arrows one after another. The wildness in his eyes became stronger and stronger. It is obviously not suitable to smash a falling arrow with a heavy weapon like a mace, but his two arms are very powerful. The mace that ordinary people can't dance is as light as a bamboo pole in his hand.

"Kill!"

Tale roared, and the cavalry behind the full flag roared neatly.

"Hoo ha!"

Huha, is the slogan of Mongolian Yuan cavalry charge. It means almost the same as shouting forward when the Sui army charged.

"The second round, flat shot, put!"

Li Xiaozong again issued an order. More than 300 archers put down some of their hard bows and rose slightly. The feather arrows shot out in an instant. After the second order, Li Xiaozong immediately waved the flag and said, "the third round, save and shoot, release!"

The archers stared at the cavalry in front of the enemy, and more than 300 feather arrows were shot out in the third round. The feather arrows were like a huge fist and hit the oncoming Manchu flag cavalry. Taler waved the mace in front of him and pulled out three or four feather arrows in succession, but after all, there was still some space. A feather arrow tore his leather armor and went into his shoulder.

The pain made the burly grassland man more violent. He ignored the quivering feather arrow on his shoulder and urged the war horse to hit the big Sui army array straightly.

"Archers retreat!"

Li Xiaozong shouted, "giant shield hands forward, long hands in array!"

About a hundred soldiers with high human shields quickly took over from the archers and rushed to the front. With the command of the commander's captain, a hundred huge shields poked heavily on the ground, as if a wall suddenly appeared on the ground. The long dog in the back rushed behind the giant shield, put the long dog on the giant shield, and the dog's front rose.

The well-trained right Xiaowei soldiers of the great Sui Dynasty completed the transformation in a very short time. In an instant, the military array became a hedgehog shrunk into a ball.

Boom!

The cavalry of the Manchu flag hit the huge shield hard. The soldiers who squatted on the ground and carried the huge shield on their shoulders were knocked over and trampled by the war horses who followed closely. The wailing sound immediately sounded. However, the Manchu flag cavalry who trampled them to death was also stabbed to death by the long name raised opposite. After more than 20 cavalry rushed to the front and knocked a hole in the shield array, they completed their mission and paid their lives.

"Kill the Sui army and cut down their general's flag!"

Half of the body had been soaked with blood. Tale smashed the head of a big Sui soldier. The leather helmet was deflated. Bright red blood and white brain burst out, mixed with many broken bones. The big Sui soldier had no time to shout, so he fell down softly, followed by tale's war horse and crushed his ribs.

With about 200 cavalry soldiers left, tale tore open the shield array of Da Sui like a knife, but he was deeply trapped in the "name array". The dense long barks make the cavalry fall into the mire. It is impossible to give full play to the speed advantage of light riding.

Tale fought the Sui people for the first time in his life, but it was not the first time he killed people. He once led troops to massacre other tribes on the grassland several times. Those small tribes who do not respect the orders of the Manchu flag leader will only die. He is a famous warrior in the Manchu flag.

But today, the warrior found that his strength could not be used at all.

Those hateful Sui people, their battle array is like a natural enemy of cavalry! Once the cavalry who came and went like the wind fell into it, the knight sitting high on the horse became the target of those long runners.

Tale kept waving a mace and smashed the long hands of four Sui people one after another. But his war horse only took one step forward.

When he swept away the soldiers of the Sui army in front of him with a stick, two long paws stabbed from the left side, and with a puff, he severely planed the belly of his war horse. When the paws were pulled out, the internal organs of the war horse mixed with viscous and smelly blood Hula suddenly fell out.

The horse gave a whine and slowly fell down, and taler fell down with his instability.

Before he got up, a long dog stabbed him in the chest. He rolled away sharply, but there was a sharp pain in his lower leg.

Taler shouted. When he looked down, he found that his left leg had been pierced and nailed to the ground by a long dog. He wanted to break the damn long stick with a mace. When he raised his arm, he was stabbed by the second long stick. The next second, the third long stick poked into his belly. The next second, the fourth long stick poked into his heart.

Five or six big Sui long paws surrounded the fallen tall prairie man, kept raising the long paws, and then stabbed them down.

A moment later... Where can you see the man's face?

The fishy smell of internal organs mixed with the stench of feces is disgusting.
