Chapter 2714 Emperor Jin's Poem, Emperor Li Tang, Xing Tian's Axe Splits the Distant Lands by Lü Zhi
"Equip all the short spears to the soldiers at the very front of the army!"
"Light the torches! Prepare to charge!" Zhang Liao was giving his final pre-battle pep talk.
He dared not be the slightest bit careless towards an enemy like Li Shimin.
Many years ago, when their Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty heard that Li Shimin had conquered Liaodong, he personally wrote a poem for this Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The blood of the Han River tempered the sword that secured the borders; the flames of war in Jizhou were extinguished with a single palm strike.
The heavenly sails tear through the vast ocean waves, the Zhenguan banners unfurl and the horses gallop.
He brandished his spear, gathering the bones of the three Han states; he spurred his horse, chasing after the tyrant of the Northern Plains.
Do not be surprised that black armor is on the Yalu River; the old battle robes are covered in snow in Liaodong.
In the entire world, only these two people have received this honor, having the Emperor of the Great Jin personally compose poems for them.
The other person was Temujin, their number one enemy of the Great Jin Dynasty.
"kill!!!"
As Zhang Liao unleashed a deafening roar, a warhorse charged forward like an arrow, hurtling towards the few glaring fires on the gentle slope!
Behind them, Zhang He, Yue Jin, Xing Tian, Gao Chong and other generals led seven thousand elite cavalry with deafening battle cries, following closely behind like a flood bursting its banks, stirring up clouds of dust as they crashed heavily onto the top of the hill!
The thunderous sound of hooves and the shouts of battle shook the wilderness; a chilling killing intent instantly shattered the silence of the night!
"They're here!" In the shadows of the hilltop, Li Shimin, who had been resting on his horse, was now fully awakened by the commotion of the cavalry.
But he showed no sign of panic, and none of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalrymen panicked, silently maintaining their original formation.
A significant portion of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, while seemingly taking turns resting on their warhorses like Li Shimin, maintained their formation without faltering even during their rest periods.
"charge!"
As the bugle call to charge sounded, an even deeper thud of hooves followed.
The cavalry from both sides had not yet gotten close, but their attack had already begun.
When the two sides were still thirty or forty meters apart, they both threw javelins at the same time.
At this distance, everyone can only throw two volleys of javelins at most, and some people may only have time to throw one volley.
However, given the weight of the javelin, its lethality is considerable, whether facing light or heavy cavalry.
Unlike the cavalry on the grasslands, the cavalry of the Central Plains dynasties were not proficient in mounted archery, so javelins became an alternative means of transport for them.
While it cannot compare to a bow and arrow in terms of range, in terms of power, a bow and arrow are far inferior to a javelin.
"Boom boom boom..."
In a split second, the two massive cavalry forces clashed, and the battles between cavalrymen are always incredibly brutal.
The knights at the forefront of both sides fell in an instant.
However, compared to Zhang Liao, significantly more people fell on his side.
After all, the opposing force consisted of heavy cavalry with the strongest charging ability and also had a certain advantage in terms of slope.
It's late at night now, and frankly, neither side can see the other clearly. They're just blindly charging downhill in one direction. They assume the enemy is in that direction. They might not even recognize their opponent until they actually engage in combat.
Moreover, you can only recognize your opponent after you've actually fought them. If the difference in strength is too great, you might not even know who killed you or who killed you if you were casually chopped off your horse with an axe.
"Ding! Zhang Liao's surprise attack skill effect has been activated, martial power +5, current martial power rises to 108."
Zhang Liao swung his broadsword left and right, but even for him, this battle formation was quite exhausting.
Facing the heavily armored Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, whose entire bodies, including their horses, were well protected and even their necks were protected, he could only break through their defenses by slashing at their unprotected limbs.
Xu Huang, on the other hand, with his heavy weapons, was much more at ease in this situation than Zhang Liao.
Finally, an opponent with an unprotected neck appeared in front of him. Zhang Liao dodged the opponent's slash by turning to the side, and at the same time, he swung his own sword, sending a large head flying into the air.
Although Zhang Liao couldn't see clearly who the person he had just killed was in the darkness, he could guess that it was probably a general.
The helmets of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry were designed to protect the neck from both the front and back, covering the entire head except for the eyes.
However, a general's armor would never be designed like that.
To put it simply, cavalry charges involve only a few basic maneuvers, but commanders also need to be skilled in martial arts. Therefore, it's impossible to make the armor as rigid as the iron armor of heavy cavalry.
Zhang Liao's guess was indeed correct. The man was not only a general, but also a member of the Li Tang imperial family, Li Jiqian, who was now the most senior member of the Li Tang imperial family.
Meanwhile, Li Tang general Orochi was definitely one of the unluckiest people present. In the dark, no one knew who they would run into.
Or rather, in this situation where no one can see each other clearly, which opponent one will encounter depends entirely on the luck of both sides!
However, he was unlucky enough to win the lottery, and he even won the top prize!
As soon as he arrived, he ran straight into Xing Tian, the top figure in the Jin army.
"Ding, Orochi's Serpent Demon skill activated."
Snake Demon: A god who has fallen into demonic possession, a snake demon from the celestial realm.
Effect 1, Dragon Power: After this skill is activated, your attack power will directly increase by 10.
Effect 2, Demonic Power: When the two sides are fighting, depending on the opponent's strength, it will suppress the opponent's strength by 1 to 6 points.
Effect 3: Metamorphosis. If one's basic combat strength is improved, this skill effect can evolve once.
When Orochi's Serpent Demon skill is activated, Dragon Power is granted, instantly increasing attack power by 10.
Orochi's base attack power is 106, with the Serpent Dragon Beast +1, the Demon Blood Scythe +1, and Li Shimin's Zhenguan and Tian Ce +3, bringing his current attack power to 121.
Orochi wielded a massive scythe, slashing left and right. He didn't even see who his opponent was before the scythe came at him diagonally.
However, a metallic clang rang out immediately, but instead of the expected sound of blades slicing into flesh, the opponent remained completely still.
"What crap?"
Xing Tian's deep voice rang out. It was the first time he had ever seen anyone wielding a scythe on the battlefield.
"Xingtian!"
Only then did Orochi see who it was. He was not alarmed, but secretly cursed his bad luck.
Among the many generals on both sides of this battlefield, just as no one in the Jin army wanted to encounter Li Yuanba, and no one in the Tang army wanted to encounter Xing Tian, unless it was the other side.
The reason is simple: these two men and the other generals on both sides were clearly not on the same level in terms of strength.
