Chapter 32 Section VI

The crimson tide was mighty, rushing towards the coalition line, and the feathered arrow shot by Bauhinia also left the string at the same moment.The red brigade pawns held their shields high above their heads and strode forward with a square knife in their other hand. The people in the first row fell down immediately, and the people behind jumped over their bodies and continued to move forward.Seeing Li's army advancing against the dense rain of arrows with their flesh and blood, even the cavalry who were waiting to go in the rear were horrified and moved.The sound of shouting and killing drowned out everything, instantly turning Shangyang into a roaring hell.

On the tower, the commanders-in-chief of the armies looked at the battlefield with different expressions. "As expected of Chi Lu," Xi Yan sighed, "I think they are people who don't know what death is at all." "Compared to Lei Qi, the Red Army is the foundation of Ying Wuyi's standing," Bai Yi said in a deep voice, "Even if the water source is poisoned, the Red Army is still capable of fighting our army. Li Jun's Red Army, the world The first infantry, it is not easy to seal it in the field." "In your opinion, how much of the victory and defeat will each have?"

"I don't know, we can only wait for the result," Bai Yi gestured, "There is no stove here, generals, please sit down and drink to drive away the cold." Sure enough, there was a table in the center of the tower, and the dishes on it were still steaming.The generals took their seats, and a sergeant came up to fill up the fragrant light wine. "Among the soldiers and horses, it's simple and simple. Generals, please use it." Bai Yi made a "please" gesture. The generals toasted and drank, looked at the dishes on the table, and did not speak.The dishes are really simple, and the taste of the wine is very weak. This shabby banquet made it difficult to understand Bai Yi's intentions.

It was Cheng Kui who couldn't hold back anymore, and slammed the wine cup on the table: "General Bai, we are the leaders of the soldiers. The soldiers are fighting with their lives, but we are here to drink. The wisdom of General Bai, I Cheng Kui Such a vulgar person doesn't understand, but if General Bai wants to say something, please say it now. If not, Cheng Kui won't want to stay any longer!" "General Cheng speaks quickly," Bai Yi slowly put down his glass, "but I have a question." "Excuse me, General Bai!" "Chun Kingdom dispatched troops this time, all of them were the elite of the Wind Tiger Cavalry. But they fought against the Red Army for King Qin. If the entire Fenghu Cavalry army is wiped out here, and General Cheng can kill Ying Wuyi on the spot, after returning home, it will be To be rewarded, or to be punished?"

Cheng Kui froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer. "General Cheng, you will be punished." Bai Yi didn't wait for his answer, "This time the war of the six nations is besieged by the rebel Ying Wuyi. But it can be said clearly that there is no royal family in Donglu today." It’s not a big deal. I don’t think there are many among the princes who don’t want to rule the roost, so for hundreds of years, my wars with the princes have almost never stopped. Today, the reason why you are ordered to lead the army to serve the king is because there is a king Yi. Ying Wuyi is a peerless overlord, and all the princes are no match for him, including me, Chu Weiguo. That's why you stand here like me, under the banner of King Qin, and join hands to bring the most powerful princes Get rid of the strong one. Because if he grows stronger, he will one day separate and defeat the princes of all countries. At that time, Ying Wuyi will be the real master of the Eastern Land. But I think you don’t want to lose dozens of your country’s savings on this battlefield. If General Cheng kills Ying Wuyi, an elite who has been around for hundreds of years, it is for the sake of the princes, but General Cheng loses the Fenghu of the brigade, but he loses in Chunguo. So, General Cheng, I am afraid you will not be praised. "

There was silence, and the generals all sat upright with faces as cold as frost, without responding. Xi Yan smiled wryly: "General Bai is also quick to talk, but it has been revealed that we, the Qin King's army, have hidden intentions. What does General Bai want us to do?" "In the Battle of Juluyuan, the defeat of the princes was not so much the defeat by the powerful soldiers from the country, but the defeat by the princes' selfishness." Bai Yi looked around, "I believe that you have thought about it before sending troops. Without Ying Wuyi in Donglu, you and I will not be allies, but may be enemies. Then the moment Ying Wuyi was killed, would you and I have immediately become enemies? At that time, if we did not hold a strong Bing, there is no guarantee that you will lose in the next war between the princes."

Xi Yan still smiled wryly: "General Bai wants to say that we are just thieves in the mountains, but because a lion appeared in the mountain, we had to hunt lions together. After hunting the lions, we have to draw our swords again in order to fight for a piece of land Facing each other?" "Isn't it?" Bai Yi looked directly at Xi Yan. "It's probably inconvenient to deny it." Xi Yan smiled wryly while shaking his head. "The generals served in different countries, and they should fight for the interests of their own countries. However, the lion in front of us is not dead yet. His minions are still sharp. If one of us hides his secrets, then all of us will be buried here. It's not impossible." Bai Yi paused every word, "So I would like to ask everyone to issue orders here, there is no order to retreat, only to stick to it and charge!"

The generals were silent.Fei An raised his eyebrows, there was anger between his brows, but when his eyes met Bai Yi, he felt a feeling in the other's eyes like a mountain pressing down, Fei An gritted his teeth and resisted for a while, finally shook his head and looked away. After a long time, Xi Yan let out a long sigh and broke the deadlock: "General Bai, you and I are old acquaintances, but I don't know when you will learn to save people's face. But what you said is not bad, then since everyone is still in the same All the troops and horses on board the Tang Dynasty will be dispatched by General Bai."

He took out the golden talisman and iron seal from his arms, put them on the table and pushed them in front of Bai Yi.When dispatching troops from the Tang Dynasty, the highest seal is the iron horse seal, followed by the golden chrysanthemum talisman order. Handing over these two is equivalent to handing over all the power to Bai Yi.A moment later, Gu Yueyi took out a golden arrow from the arrow pot, and placed it on the table respectfully. It was the arrow ordered by Izumo.Xi Yan and Gu Yueyi smiled at each other, there was bitterness in their smiles.Gang Wuwei let out a long sigh, and took out a vermilion lacquer box that was with him.Until Cheng Kui took off a beast button copper seal on his waist and threw it over, Fei An also put the saber and seal on the table.

"Okay, then there's no room for privacy." Bai Yi also pushed out the sandalwood box in front of him.Open the lid of the box, and there is a sky-blue frozen stone seal and a jade seal with a purple ribbon dragon's head, with jade light inside. "This is the Seal of General Yudianyue and the Seal of Marquis Wuyang bestowed by Emperor Bai Yimeng. These two seals are enough to mobilize all 70,000 soldiers and horses of Chu Wei. Win Wuyi's head." Bai Yi glanced across the generals, "If any side suffers heavy losses in this battle, Bai Yi will do his best to ask the royal family and princes to raise funds to help them restore their national strength. I just don't know what the generals are doing. Do you believe in Bai Yi's promise?"

Gu Yueyi slapped the table: "Okay! I Jinbei Kingdom trusts General Bai's promise!" All the generals also nodded slightly. Xi Yan smiled: "In this way, if Ying Wuyi is killed, it will be considered fair for us to fight again in the future." "It may be an enemy in the future, but it is still an ally now." Bai Yi said. "We are still allies... Good! You are all famous generals, but it is a pity that you serve in different countries and live in the north and south of the sea. In your life, you may not have the opportunity to fight side by side," Xi Yan said, "when we are still allies Time, please drink this cup!" The six people raised their wine cups and drank dry. "Great General!" The soldiers stepped up to the tower and knelt half-kneeling, "The Li army has broken through the Xiu Kingdom's archers formation and is fighting with the Fenghu Cavalry." Gang Wuwei remained silent, Bai Yi toasted Cheng Kui silently, and drank it all by himself. "Pass my order!" Cheng Kui slapped the table heavily, "The cavalry is divided into two wings, and they will rob and kill the two sides of the Li army. At any cost, we must first cut the enemy's vanguard!" "Yes!" The Chunguo Military Academy who was waiting for orders left. "General Xi, can the wooden city tower in Xiatang advance another hundred steps to stop the Red Brigade?" Bai Yi poured his wine and toasted Xi Yan. Xi Yan smiled: "I know you won't let me go, it's a pity that the wooden city tower has been practiced for six years to achieve such a small achievement, even if it can be stopped for a while, it will probably be turned into fly ash in front of the Red Army, right? " He grabbed the iron horse seal on the table, threw it down the tower without looking back, and shouted loudly: "Send the order to stop, and the previous order will be withdrawn! The wooden tower will advance a hundred steps, and stop the confluence of the red army at all costs!" "It's rare for you to speak so loudly." Bai Yi drank the wine in the cup. At this time, on the battlefield in front of Shangyang Pass. "Grandpa! Take the thunder cavalry and retreat first," Zhang Bo led his horse back to the formation, covered in blood, and shouted loudly, "Chun Guo cavalry is about to rush into the formation, we have been cut open!" Xiatang's wooden tower carts were also pushed up, sealing the front of the battlefield and blocking the charge of the thunder cavalry. The scattered Red Brigade was suppressed by the rain of arrows and could not converge.The more than one hundred thousand troops from both sides were almost mixed together, Zhang Bo couldn't see how many troops of different banners were interspersed among them, and several red tide formations of the Li army were collapsing one by one.Known for their iron armor and long spears, the Fenghu Cavalry recklessly plunged straight into the center of the formation, unstoppable. The front of the red brigade who had just stepped on the dead body to break through Xiuguo Bauhinia's long shot had penetrated into the enemy's formation, and was forcibly cut off in a blink of an eye. "Not yet," Ying Wuyi held a long knife in his hand, and before going out in person, "order the Thunder Rider to cut off the rushing Fenghu!" "Yes!" Zhang Bo waved his hand vigorously, swiping away the uncoagulated blood on the knife. The Chunguo Fenghu who were rushing madly only cared about trampling their horses, but they didn't see a thunder cavalry standing behind the formation with its wings protruding slightly, pointing directly at their too long battle line. "The Wind Tiger Cavalry was cut off by the Thunder Cavalry, two thousand people were killed and no less than five thousand were injured!" "The first brigade of the Mountain Array Spear Armor was broken through the formation, but the second and third brigades are still holding on!" "About a thousand red brigades have demolished the wooden city tower on the west side, and were annihilated by the Tang army, and the formation of the wooden city tower was broken." "The retreating Jushi Che battalion was completely annihilated by the Li army, and the Jushi chariots were completely destroyed!" Military newspapers continued to be sent to the tower, and the faces of the coalition commanders became more and more gloomy.In the fierce battle in the middle of the night, except for the mountain spear armor that Chu Weiguo was proud of, there were still two brigades that could hold on.The entire battlefield is completely in a chaotic situation, and the two sides are fighting for human life.However, the Lijun Red Army Thunder Cavalry still had undiminished fighting spirit. "Advance by the second brigade and the third brigade of the Mountain Array!" Bai Yi ordered calmly, "Advance all the way! Cover the battlefield!" Zhang Bo kicked out a Chen Guo pawn who was wearing a saber, looked up and suddenly saw Chu Wei's formation rising a foot out of thin air! It was Chu Weiguo's heavy armored spearmen who finally stood up.At first, these armored gunmen were half-kneeling on the ground, forming a dense array of spears with giant spears with two-foot-long handles.At this time, they tried their best to lift up the spears weighing seventeen catties, and the spears fell heavily, each one pressing on the shoulders of the spearmen in front, and a dense array of spears was formed like this.Layer upon layer of gunpoints formed a sheet of steel thorns. Chu Weishan's spear armor, known as the "strongest" among Donglu's heavy infantry, started to move and slowly advanced. "It's Chu Weiguo's mountain formation," Xie Xuan said in Lijun's main formation, "Bai Yi's last capital has been bet." Ying Wuyi squinted his eyes, staring at the slowly approaching mountain array that was as solid as a boulder: "Can the rest of our troops stop them?" "The back and two wings of the mountain formation have weaknesses, but if our remaining troops are able to match them, it is not enough," Xie Xuan shook his head, "Breakthrough the first brigade of the mountain formation, and we will lose no less than ten thousand people..." "Okay, then the whole army disperses! Don't fight them head-on," Ying Wuyi clenched the long knife in his hand, "Lei Danying and the rest of the Thunder Cavalry, follow me!" "Is the Lord going out?" Xie Xuan followed behind Ying Wuyi and drew his useless thin sword. "Long-awaited!" Ying Wuyi said loudly. "The formation of the Li army is completely dispersed, avoiding the mountain formation, and our army's east side is about to be unstoppable!" The military newspaper was sent to the tower again. "Where are there any infantry that can be mobilized?" Bai Yi stood up suddenly, no matter how big the loss was, he was not afraid, but the complete collapse of the front on the east side would give the Li army a chance to escape. "A thunder cavalry is trying its best to break through the gap on the east side. The opponent is coming too fast, and our army has no cavalry to stop it!" Bai Yi overlooked the battlefield, and it turned out to be a group of red cavalry, like a flying arrow, tearing through the weak defense line on the east side at high speed.The opponent's attack was as fast as a thunderstorm. Even though there were countless loopholes in the elongated front line that could be attacked and cut off, the defense line on the east side was completely shocked by its reckless advance, and was unable to organize an effective counterattack at all.The terrified warriors scattered like a tide split by a sharp knife. "General Mengbai taught me that since it is a national crisis, someone must come forward." Gu Yueyi got up and drank the wine in the glass. "All the armies have suffered losses. Izumo Cavalry Not being able to fight with all our strength is a disgrace to us in the north of Shanxi, and Gu Yueyi is willing to lead five thousand Izumo cavalry troops to fight on the east side." "The Izumo cavalry army is good at cavalry and archery. Is General Gu sure about blocking Li army?" Gang Wuwei questioned. The Izumo Cavalry is a light cavalry, but unlike Li Jun Lei Cavalry and Chun Guo Fenghu, they are not known for their powerful charges.The Izumo cavalry is well-known for its riding and archery skills. When going into battle, they always harass and kill the enemy on both wings, and finally join the infantry to consolidate their positions.In order to facilitate the shooting of arrows, sometimes even a waist knife is not used. It is indeed doubtful whether this cavalry can block the charge of the thunder cavalry. "Give it a try." Gu Yueyi smiled, got up and was about to go down. He paused in front of the ladder, turned around and bowed to Bai Yi: "General Bai is a heroic weapon, Gu Yueyi admires your frankness. But when I left Jinbei Kingdom, the Lord never said that I should preserve my strength. My Lord He once told me that Ying Wuyi is a respectable and terrifying enemy to any lord, so if Ying Wuyi can be killed, our country is willing to do its best. He also said that when he saw the general in Qiuye Mountain City that day , I look forward to fighting side by side with the Great General one day. Therefore, General Bai, not every country does not have the heroism like you." Gu Yueyi hurried downstairs, Bai Yi was silent for a while, and asked himself in a low voice: "Marquis Jin, Lei Qianye?" The generals of various countries looked out from the tower, watching Gu Yueyi's back in white armor and purple robe galloping in the night, and the subordinates of the Izumo Cavalry Army had already led his white horse.He got on his horse, fired a rocket into the air, and then let the horse gallop to the east side of the battle line. The Izumo cavalry on the entire battlefield followed him to the east side, and the carts of the supply battalion were also planted with bundles of arrows. Move to the east. A white cavalry army in white clothes and armor quickly adjusted its formation behind the infantry line on the east side, and the deputy general waved a light blue snow chrysanthemum banner in front of the formation.The cavalry swiftly inserted the arrows from the logistics operation into the quiver, and the crimson cavalry on the other side tore through the original infantry line of defense in an instant, rushing out of the smoke and dust, and came very quickly. "Get ready!" Gu Yueyi drew out his bow and arrow. The Izumo cavalry shooters lined up drew out their bows neatly. "Xuan Yi." The cavalry archers nocked their arrows one after another and raised their compound bows.The bow is only half opened, and the right hand holding the arrow is close to the cheek. "full moon." The cavalry archer pushes the bow with his left hand and pushes the bow fully at one time.Among Donglu archers, this special bow-pushing method is only used by the cavalry archers of the Izumo cavalry and the "Bauhinia long shot" archer of Chen Guo, because the bows used by these two archers are quite hard, and it is difficult to draw the string with the right hand. Open a hard bow. There was only one order left, and the whole body of Izumo Riding Archer was stretched to the extreme.Gu Yueyi also drew the bow herself, her usual smile was gone, her eyes were coldly watching the cavalry approaching in the smoke.The opponent came roaring, and their horses had already run out of blood in the fight. The horses boiled with blood were like beasts devouring people, and they stood side by side like walls advancing at high speed.Those sabers were all mottled with blood and thorns overlapping like steel. "Broken!" Gu Yueyi drank violently, and there was only a distance of two hundred feet left.Two thousand five hundred bows vibrated together, and the same number of feathered arrows screamed.A short while later, another 2,500 feathered arrows were shot upwards, and a non-stop rain of arrows fell, completely covering the Thunder Cavalry Army. "Arrow Arashi" of the Izumo Cavalry. Hundreds of thunder riders rushing to the front fell off their horses, and their bodies were full of feathered arrows.The corpses naturally form an obstacle.The thunder cavalry who followed were not bothered by the obstacle at all. They didn't even look at their dead companions, and they rode their horses into the air together, crossing the obstacle, and the momentum of the charge did not diminish at all. "mysterious!" "Ying!" "break!" Gu Yueyi kept giving orders, arrows were thrown out one after another, and more enemies fell down on their horses, but the main force of this thunder cavalry showed a frightening fighting spirit, and none of them retreated.After three volleys, Lei Qi had approached to only thirty steps left. The banner of Lei Lie's Flower was right in front of Gu Yueyi, and Gu Yueyi shouted: "Chaos!" The neat and orderly Izumo cavalry brigade completely dispersed, divided into two groups on the left and right, protruding around the side of the thunder cavalry, and the rain of arrows continued to kill the thunder cavalry from both sides.Gu Yueyi himself led a team of elites, and charged straight in.The generals of various countries far away on the Bell and Drum Tower saw him riding a white horse straight into the opponent's formation, carrying a quiver on the left and right, and continuously shooting left and right while the horse was galloping.It's like not having to aim at all.The thunder cavalry who were close to him fell off their horses one after another, and the momentum of the thunder cavalry forward was forcibly cut off by a small group of cavalry he led. "Tiansheng Guyueyi!" Bai Yi praised. In a blink of an eye, Gu Yueyi's quiver was empty, he stopped his horse slightly, took another bunch of feather arrows from the saddle's side pocket, quickly inserted them into the quiver, turned around and was about to continue charging.At this moment, he suddenly felt a war horse behind him pressing down on the cold wind approaching at high speed! Without thinking about it, he turned around and shot an arrow.The opposing samurai slashed with his sword, and the arrow broke in two. "Who is it?" Gu Yueyi shouted violently. There was no answer, only the sound of horseshoes. In just a split second, the fiery war horse had already approached Gu Yueyi.Gu Yueyi shuddered all over, but it was too late to retreat, he could only watch a saber light coming through the air, and the aroused air seemed to have cut his cheek. This was the opponent's second strike, and the startled Gu Yueyi swung the horn bow in his hand to block it. Dao Guang cut the bow mercilessly.The strength contained in that knife could continue to cut the loose bowstring after cutting the body of the bow, Gu Yue's face was ashamed.The two passed by each other, and the other party circled the horse like lightning, and slashed down again. The opponent's third strike, every strike seems to be the same, it's just a simple vertical chop, but each strike is faster and more powerful than the other!There was no room for even dodging, Gu Yueyi unsheathed his waist knife in desperation, the two swords tangled in the air, and the fragile waist knife broke into pieces under the strength of the opponent's knife. The fourth saber followed closely, and the horse-chopping sword that was slightly bounced off by the waist saber was only shaken in the air, and then fell down again! Gu Yueyi rolled off the horse at the nick of time.The knife fell, and his white horse lay on the ground with a wailing sound. Blood gushed out from the middle of the saddle, the saddle broke in two, and there was a bloodstain on the white horse's back.After the knife severed the saddle, it slashed into the white horse's body by a foot! A black horse galloped to Gu Yueyi's side, and the warrior on the horse brandished a halberd to forcibly cut down the long sword of the Liguo warrior.At this moment, under the light of the fire, Gu Yueyi finally saw Li Gong Ying Wuyi in red armor in a fire cloak and Xi Yan in black armor and black robe clearly, and the two lowered their weapons with all their strength.There was a huge shock, as if the two weapons were about to break.The two of them brushed the horse close to each other. Ying Wuyi turned his horse around to look at his opponent, but Xi Yan suddenly leaned over and picked up Gu Yueyi's belt, and retreated without looking back. "To a man who was almost empty-handed, he used four knives, but he still hasn't killed him." Ying Wuyi whispered to Xie Xuan who followed closely. He looked at the black horse hidden in the distance and shook his head. Xi Yan and Gu Yueyi returned to the tower, and the Lei Liezhihua banner in the distance had already escaped from the encirclement, and the Izumo cavalry who had lost Gu Yueyi could no longer effectively stop them.The Thunder Riders stationed their horses three miles away, but did not retreat immediately.Gu Yueyi took off the shoulder armor, only to find that the skin on the shoulder had been split and blood was flowing.The generals gathered around to watch, all of them with livid faces, there were few people who charged into battle who were not proud of the weapons in their hands, but seeing the power of Ying Wuyi's heavy sword, none of them had the urge to challenge this man. "Ying Wuyi's Overlord Saber really has the power of thunder to break mountains," Xi Yan said in a low voice, "Although General Gu is brave, he is no match for him." Bai Yi had no ready-made troops to mobilize, his face was tense, but he could only look at Ying Wuyi's main formation with his hands behind his back. In the central battlefield at this time, the Red Brigade was still fighting hard with the coalition infantry.And Ying Wuyi, who had already broken through, slowly raised his Saber.The saber was shining brightly against the flames.Someone in the Thunder Rider blew the horn with all his strength, and the whining sound of the horn echoed in everyone's ears, three short and one long, the sound was astonishing. As Ying Wuyi raised his sword and the horn sounded, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed drastically.The Li army in the bitter struggle gave up all the enemies without hesitation, gathered in one place, and charged towards the gap on the east side.No matter how the coalition forces cover up behind their backs, the Li army will never look back. The red tide rolled up again, and Li Jun hurriedly converged and crossed the gap.Chu Weiguo's mountain formation tried to shift to the east to make up for the gap, and the Li army that passed by them suffered heavy losses. The horses neighed and fell to the ground, and the soldiers' bones hung on the spear points.But the Li army still didn't mind the loss, and forcibly avoided the enemy to join Ying Wuyi's team.Then the breakout team reorganized a bit and dispersed to the southeast. When Ying Wuyi raised his saber, it was like the only star in the night, summoning his loyal warriors.At this time, he is the only giant here, and his majesty covers the entire field! "He wants to break out of the siege regardless of casualties!" Gu Yueyi endured the pain and exclaimed in a low voice. "We are too late to stop, we have already lost." Gang Wuwei sighed. Xi Yan didn't speak, he looked at the cloud-like red flag with a long sword pointing to the sky.He shivered slightly, and found that his palms were covered in cold sweat.
