Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

It was dark and dark, and when the cold wind blew, the black mink fur on the collar swayed in the wind, occasionally brushing against the owner's skin above.

Du Bu, who was wearing green dragon armor, looked at the dark clouds in the sky quietly. It was he who proposed the encirclement point for reinforcements. This time the horse army was naturally led by him, the proposer. The terrain of Liaodong Road and Jingdong Road is different, but there are not many places for ambushes. , simply turned the ambush into an interception.

A horse's hoof stepped on the wet and hard soil, and white air was sprayed from the horse's mouth. Xiao Haili, who was holding a wrought copper knife and holding the reins, came over and looked at Du Bu with curiosity: "What are you thinking about? Worried about what's going to happen next. war?"

The war horse snorted and its tail swayed restlessly. Du Bo withdrew his gaze from the horizon and looked at the approaching Khitan man. He glanced at the excited Yuan Lang and the indifferent Shi Wengong. The cavalry behind him looked excited, and the air Occasionally there was the hum of conversation and the sound of horses moving lightly.

"Yes, and no." Du Bo spoke softly, with a serious expression: "Yanyuan City sent five thousand troops. I was wondering whether we should break Yanyuan first and then Jian'an."

Xiao Haili was startled for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "I can't say that." He turned and looked further back: "It's time for those new troops to see blood."

Then, the horse under the two people was a little restless, stepping on its legs and shaking its head. Xiao Haili grinned and looked at Du Bo, who also felt the shock coming from the ground. He breathed white air and said: "It seems It’s coming.”

The ground continued to vibrate, and the sound of horse hooves and footsteps could be heard. It was the sound of infantry and cavalry marching together, preparing to charge into battle. He and Xiao Haili were both veterans of the Song Dynasty. The two armies also often cooperate in attacks, and generals like them who lead the army can naturally tell the difference.

"All preparations——"

The erect Zhangba snake spear pointed to the sky. The cavalry at the rear became silent and held the cold sword in their red palms.

"Tear the enemy to pieces!"

The curved spear tip with a faint light was pushed forward, the desolate horn sounded, and the war horse began to accelerate slowly, trotting forward, and then galloping up, the black iron cavalry surged forward.

In the dead woods behind the horses, a figure flashed, and then a red-faced man ran out on a red-maned horse carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

Behind, footsteps sounded intensively.

……

The cold wind blew across the earth, and the earth exploded under the horses' hooves. The roaring sound shook the ground, and it surged forward like an angry wave. The infantry in the rear ran wildly, but the speed began to slow down amidst the general's roar, and there was a sound in the distance. The unfamiliar sound of horse hooves came, that was the goal this time.

On the horse running wildly, the Yanyuan City general named Dalib looked excited. The wolf tail on his helmet was fluttering in the air. He inhaled the cold air in a small mouth and exhaled. The horse galloped like the wind, and the violent shaking made his cheeks shake. The flesh was shaking. Although the scout suffered a lot of damage, he still completed the mission he set. The two thousand enemy troops should be able to break through to Jian'an City with the cavalry behind him. By then, it would be two thousand. Thanks to his merit, he might be able to move away from the bitter cold here and go to a prosperous place like Nanjing Road.

While galloping, the figure in front was revealed. Dalib laughed, shook the horse's reins, and waved his gun: "The thieves are riding in the front, the troops in the rear are riding and shooting, and the rest are with me - cut through them!"

"Kill -" the running Liao army opened its mouth and roared.

The horns of horns were blown on the battlefield, and the cavalry in the rear pointed their bows diagonally towards the sky.

Xiao Haili squinted his eyes and looked over there. As a Khitan, he knew what the Liao army was doing. He immediately raised his copper knife and said, "Get ready to shoot back! Be careful of the arrows coming from the opposite side!"

The arrows on both sides rose into the sky, and densely packed flying arrows fell in staggered directions, occasionally hitting the human body and taking away lives. At the same time, the distance between the two sides was as close as possible, and Du Bo's eight-foot-long snake spear was tucked under his arm: "Kill——"

"kill--"

The thunderous sound of horse hooves, mixed with the howling cold wind and the hysterical roar of people, the figure in black armor was like a wave, rushing towards the Liao army on the opposite side. Every sound of the horse's hoof left traces on the ground, bringing with it Get a little muddy.

"Drink!"

Dalib opened his eyes wide and exhaled loudly. He avoided the figure holding a eight-foot-long snake spear on the opposite side, and cleverly killed the nondescript figure on the side...

Kill one to boost the morale of the army!
He struggled to thrust out the spear in his hand. In front of him, the cavalry roared and collided directly without dodging. Fang Tian's painted halberd was smashed out like lightning. With a bang, sparks jumped out in the air, illuminating Shi Wengong's cold face.

The halberd was drawn hard, the barrel of the gun was bent, and someone roared with force.

bang——

The iron rod bent, his arms retreated to the extreme, and the iron gun flew out directly. Fang Tian's painted halberd hit his chest with heavy force. The figure with a wolf tail on the helmet flew backwards, and blood sprayed from his mouth.

Herod——

The war horse was stabbed down by a spear from behind. Under the dim skylight, people were flying in the air and horses were sliding on the ground. On the flat field, the sudden change caught the Liao soldiers at the rear by surprise. Many of them were dumbfounded and held in their hands The swords slowed down a bit, but the figure in black armor on the opposite side did not hesitate. The horses galloped and splashed the soil. They all lowered their spears, "Whoo!" and in the next second, they crashed directly into the line of the cavalry on the opposite side.

The spear pierced the flesh, and blood spattered. The corpse was hung with a spear, and the war horse puffed out white gas and headed forward to kill the next person. There were many horses that lost their owners and slowed down to block the path of the charge. People and horses were killed. Blood was scattered on the battlefield, and corpses fell in large swaths, like rocks left after the tide, lying helplessly on the ground.

The screams in front frightened the knights behind. Some subconsciously drew their bows and fired. However, the arrows flew past, and more arrows came back. With a whooshing sound through the air, they pierced into the leather armor and leather jackets. , someone kept falling off their horses, and the team began to become confused.

In the rear, the deputy general responsible for commanding the infantry of Yanyuan City saw his commander fell, and quickly organized the infantry defense. The infantry with shields spread out slightly, and the spears were set up one by one. The archers in the rear took a few steps forward, and were shot by the spearmen. Surrounded in the middle, a circular array was formed, slowly advancing forward.

Boom boom boom——

The fighting cavalry were still interspersed. The Liao army knights who lost their commander were not energetic enough. Knights from Lu Bu's army on the opposite side often came to attack them. They turned around to hide, but the horses turned around. The companions behind them blocked the way and wore their clothes. The knight in black armor rushed over and hit the person's head with an iron mace. The head exploded and the corpse fell off the horse. Then he charged into the crowd with both maces in his hands.

Chaotic Khitan and Chinese were shouted and roared among the Liao cavalry. Many lower-level generals wanted to command the cavalry, but contradictory orders made the knights under their command not sure who to listen to. More and more The man fell off his horse, and scarlet bloodstains extended forward. Dead bodies, stumps, and disemboweled internal organs spattered shockingly under the horses' hooves. As the cavalry rotated, they smeared on the battlefield. land.

"Push it over, push it over quickly!"

The deputy general was a little anxious when he saw the battle ahead. He didn't bring many sword and shield bearers this time. He planned to put the soldiers of Jian'an City at the front so that they could die less. Suddenly, they fought against the rebel cavalry and died. Commander, the cavalry army lost again. Not only was he a little anxious, he just wanted to step forward and entangle the opponent's cavalry army before his own cavalry was defeated, otherwise he would risk the entire army being destroyed.

Woo hoo - the horn blew briefly under the sky. The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it was not a signal from his own army: "Stop, shrink the formation!"

Boom boom boom boom——

The sound of neat footsteps could be heard on the fighting battlefield, and waving flags suddenly appeared behind the cavalry battlefield. The deputy general took a breath, put a wry smile on his face, and murmured: "They fell into the trap... These thieves are really brave. With the cavalry, Attracting attention from the front, but hiding the infantry behind, no wonder they want to snipe the scouts."

In the battlefield, Xiao Haili, who was hanging up his sword and changing his bow, shot an arrow, glanced to the rear, and then shouted loudly: "It's almost done, the cavalry entangles the opponent, let the infantry go straight behind, don't let any of them escape."

A knight nodded, picked up the horn hanging on the saddle and blew it. The knights around him became even more fanatical, and let out savage shouts of "Hoo ho!". They followed the highly skilled military generals to fight forward, and the number became more and more intense. The large number of Liao Army cavalry could not resist and began to turn their horses' heads to withdraw from the battlefield. A group of Lu Bu Army cavalry who stared at them immediately followed, and scattered chase battles began to take place on the plains.

……

Behind him, Guan Sheng, who heard the sound of horns, took a deep breath. The cold air with the smell of rust entered his lungs, which cheered him up. He looked at the Beijing array on the left, and then at the Shangguan and Wang flags on the right. He closed his Danfeng eyes slightly, and the moment he opened them, he suddenly let out a loud roar: "The enemy is at the front, follow me and kill him!"

From the left and right sides of the array, the same loud shouting and charging sounds came. Guan Sheng took the lead and charged out. A total of 2,500 infantry from the four battalions began to run. The soldiers in the front row took off the shields from their backs, held them in their hands, and drew their swords horizontally. Unsheathed, the archers at the rear bent their bows and arrows while running, one on the left and one on the right, divided into two groups, interspersed from both sides of the cavalry battlefield to the infantry of the Liao army in the rear.

"Prepare!"

The infantry of the Liao army raised their long bows, and the sergeant holding the spear looked slightly nervous.

Hundreds of thousands of arrows soared into the air. Under such a situation, the archers of Lu Bu's army hardly needed to consider whether they would be blocked by the shielders. The rain of arrows fell down in a whoosh, and some of them were blocked by the Liao army's arrows. The shield hand guarded, and more arrows fell on Changshou's body, with blood and screams passing through the body. After the arrows like raindrops, there were a few blanks in the dense forest of guns, and a few pierced nearby. The ground was densely packed and looked a bit infiltrative.

"kill!"

The monotonous sound of horse hooves came, and the figure wearing a green battle robe and holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was pulled to zero distance.

The spear thrust out was cut off by the light of the sword, and veins bulged on his arm. Guan Sheng immediately glared at him and then slashed it down.

The figure holding the shield fell down amid the flying wood chips. The red-maned horse broke into the battle formation. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword danced beside the horse. People kept falling. In the chaos of the scene, Lu Bu's infantry wearing black leather armor, holding a shield and a knife were seen. Rushing in, the spear pierced the shield and made a sharp explosion. People on both sides were knocked over. Then the infantry and infantry fought together, and the blood stained the ground red in an instant.

On the other side, Shangguan Yi led his men into the formation. The man holding the hammer was still brave, and a large number of figures were knocked away in front of him. Looking at the figure under the general's flag, the former Jingxi general licked Licking the blood that slowly flowed from his face to his mouth.

"kill--"

He swung the hammer, opened his mouth and roared, the surrounding spears were beaten and cracked, and the sound of broken bones continued to sound.

Soon, the flag of Liao fell down, and the killing was carried out under the sky.

……

On the road, the blood sprinkled on the soil slowly condensed, the cold wind blew, and soon there was a sign of freezing.

The boiling fighting continued until dark, and the generals of the horse and infantry armies gathered together with torches lit. The smell of blood on their bodies went straight to their noses, but the people who crawled out from the pile of dead people were talking as if nothing had happened.

"The reinforcements in Yanyuan City have been defeated. I have sent a quick horse back to report to my brother. We can attack the city and capture Jian'an tomorrow." Du Bo's armor was covered with blood. It had not been wiped off for a long time, and it had frozen into ice and hung on the armor. On the top, with a slight movement, the red ice could not help but fall down.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go back as soon as possible." Wang Jun looked a little anxious: "There weren't many people in the first place, but the commanding general was killed by the superior officer."

Glancing at the silent man, he continued: "I came here to make meritorious deeds. Now that I haven't got any merit, I don't want to waste time here."

Around him, there were people walking among the corpses with torches, constantly searching for the clothes and armor of the Liao soldiers, and stacking the ones that were not seriously damaged with the intact ones. These ones could still be used after cleaning and repairing, but those that were too damaged were Yes, that can only be said to be a pity.

"Maybe it's not a delay..." Du Bo said softly, and looked at the soldier who was finishing the attack over there with something strange in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Wang Jun and Jing Chao both spoke almost at the same time.

Du Bo looked at Xiao Haili, saw the Khitan man nodded, and then said: "So far, almost all the soldiers in Yanyuan City are here. I waited for the cavalry army to chase the fleeing Liao cavalry, but we also forced them to run away. No one is heading to Iwabuchi.”

No one present was stupid. Hearing what he said, everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment. Shi Wengong turned his head and looked at the pile of stripped armor: "Fake city?"

"Yes!" Xiao Haili took a step forward and nodded: "I am a Khitan, and I also have Khitan sons under my command. The surrendered troops that each brother has recruited under his command also come from all clans..."

He looked around at the people whose eyes were starting to shine: "The leader's side will probably not need us in the attack on the city tomorrow. Why not take the opportunity to change the clothes and armor, sneak into Yanyuan City and capture it while it is unclear at night."

Guan Sheng stroked his beard and said hesitantly: "Haidi... won't you tell the general?"

"The general is outside, and the military orders are not obeyed." Jing Chao's eyes showed a strange light: "The general did not expect that we can drive the opponent's cavalry to all directions."

"Let's do it!" Shangguan Yi clenched his fists excitedly: "The general will blame me if we miss such a good opportunity!"

In the swaying firelight, everyone nodded slowly, and the flames reflected in their eyes were burning, just like the hearts of those present.

Soon, the people wearing Liao army armor began to return to the original route. Xiao Haili was afraid of being suspected, so he asked many injured soldiers to join in. The seriously injured were carried on simple stretchers, and the slightly injured were supported by each other. The appearance of the defeated general was so miserable.

The moon rose into the sky and pulled through the clouds. I couldn't bear to see the stumbling team and hid the figures following behind in the darkness. (End of chapter)
