Although the battle was fierce and stalemate, the disadvantage of the Han army was still irreparable.The left, middle, and right cavalry are all under the siege of the barbarian army, and the situation is very unfavorable. They can withstand the attack of the barbarian army in the short term, but as the casualties continue to increase, it will be difficult to stop the barbarian army for a long time. The army rushed and fought.Even so, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many bows and crossbows in the rear of the Han army, weaving the front of the formation into an impenetrable arrow formation, I am afraid that the barbarian army would have rushed to the rear and massacred the infantry.

Seeing that the battle situation was not good, Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu looked at each other, their expressions became more dignified, and they invariably turned their attention to the proud figure on the back of the Hualiu horse.

Chapter 977 Killing the Wolf, Bloody Battle on Wolf Mountain (Continued)

Seeing that the battle situation was not good, Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu looked at each other, their expressions became more dignified, and they invariably turned their attention to the proud figure on the back of the Hualiu horse.

Li Li didn't notice the eagerly expecting eyes from behind, or his current attention was not behind him at all, but in front of him, on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting.

The problem of insufficient troops exists objectively, and it is inevitable to encounter various difficulties in fighting in different places.Li Li had expected and prepared for this, but what he didn't expect was that Tadun and many other tribes would be so aggressive that they even dragged children in their teens and elders of the tribe who were nearly half a century old into the battlefield. The current army, charge at the forefront.In fact, it was intentional to send them to death.

Perhaps the commander of the barbarian army, Ta Dun, and the leaders of the various tribes had no mercy in their hearts. They didn't think it was wrong to let children and old people fight in battle, but the cavalry of the Han army did not lose their conscience.Facing immature children and old men with gray sideburns, the swords in the hands of the soldiers of the Han army were extremely heavy, and they lost their former bravery and vigor, and their skills became much slower.Originally, one knife could kill the enemy rushing from the opposite side, but now it seems powerless, and often needs to parry many attacks, until it is unbearable and there is no way to retreat, then swing the knife to kill the enemy child or old man.

It is precisely because of the compassion of the soldiers of the Han army that they struggled to move forward, fought extremely hard, were surrounded by heavy siege, and caused unnecessary casualties for no reason.They couldn't bear to do anything to the tribal children and old people, but these children and old people who rode horses and wielded knives did not have a trace of kindness, they were vicious and vicious.No mercy.Whenever they killed a Han cavalryman, they would roar excitedly to show off their youthful promise or their old age.His face was flushed with excitement, and his spirit was radiant.It was these two diametrically opposed mentalities that made the Han army gradually fall into a passive position, surrounded by barbarian cavalry nearly three times the size of the Han army in the center of the battlefield, completely losing the impact of the horses and the charge that the cavalry should have advantage, a dilemma.

I watched helplessly as the barbarian army formed a former army composed of half-grown children and half-hundred old people.Li Li's heart was extremely heavy as he clung to the brave Xiliang iron cavalry, his pupils were filled with a sharp and cold light.The right hand is tightly grasping the golden sword, and the Hualiu horse is eager to try.The Han people are a state of etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the great Han people rule the country with filial piety, and use filial piety as the basis for scholars to become officials.It is filial piety that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Women and children know it, old and young alike.Over time, no matter who they face, as long as they are children or the elderly, the Han people will always give them due love and respect.However, facing these tribal barbarians who don't know what filial piety is, and only worship the strong, the Han army has encountered unprecedented challenges.What is challenged is not bravery and tenacity, nor the cooperation and tacit understanding of cavalry.It is to challenge their psychological bottom line, the root of filial piety.

The barbarian army used half-old children and half-centenarians as forwards.Fighting against the always brave Xiliang iron cavalry, this move is extremely vicious.In Li Li's eyes, this is like the Japanese pirates of later generations using Han people to block bullets, while the barbarian army is more ruthless and more vicious. They send children and old people from their tribe to the forefront of the battlefield, force them to go to the battlefield, and threaten them to die. rush forward.This is really despicable, shameless and inhumane!

For a moment, Li Li even felt that it was wrong for him to lead the army to the grasslands. He actually forced the barbarian army to drag underage children and old people into the battlefield. What's the point of this kind of war? Is it too cruel?However, Li Li was deeply shocked and irritated when he saw the excited expressions of these barbarian children and old people after beheading the Han soldiers.

It's fine for these children not to know what kindness is, but these barbarian elders who are over half a century old don't have the slightest bit of kindness. Is there any need for such a tribe to exist?If the elderly don't know compassion and compassion, let alone children?So passed down from generation to generation, the world will never have peace!

At this moment, Li Li was completely enraged, and he really wanted to kill him.

"Where is Tian Yu?" Just as Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu were staring at Li Li's back, Li Li suddenly shouted loudly.

"This humble minister is here, I don't know what orders my lord has?" Tian Yu rushed forward on his horse in response, and cupped his hands.

"The general ordered you to stay here and command the infantry to fight without any mistakes!"

"No, my minister takes orders!" Tian Yu replied respectfully with a shocked expression.

"Shi A obeys orders! This general ordered you to protect the safety of the military division, and stay around for a moment. If the military division makes a mistake, please come and see!" Li Lile turned around, looked at Shi A solemnly, and ordered in a deep voice.

"No! The general obeys!" Shi A bowed.

Li Li nodded slightly, then turned his eyes to Zhuge Liang, nodded to him, and then ordered Tian Yu: "Immediately beat the drums to help the battle, blow the poisonous dragon horn, and order our soldiers to kill them all!"

"Ah!" Zhuge Liang exclaimed, waving his hands again and again in amazement and inexplicable: "Don't blow the horn! The poisonous dragon is the number one taboo in our army. When the poisonous dragon is sounded, blood will flow into rivers, beheaded and killed, and the blood will stain hundreds of miles. Since it was included Since the military discipline, it has only been sounded once, and that was the battle of Qinglang Valley in the past, killing a hundred thousand barbarian troops in one fell swoop. After the war, the lord had a strict order that the Poisonous Dragon should not be used lightly, unless forced to do so." Before finishing speaking, Under Li Li's unquestionably sharp eyes, Zhuge Liang suddenly stopped speaking, and dared not say anything more.

"Yan Rou, Qi Zhou, and Xian Yu Yin go out, lead their own soldiers, and follow me into the battle!"

After receiving the military order, Yan Rou and the others immediately led their own soldiers out on horseback, and quickly formed an arrow formation. They reined in their horses and lowered their swords to stand behind Li Li.At this time, I saw Li Li leaping in front of the horse formation, raised his golden sword high, and shouted sharply: "Beat the drum and blow the trumpet! All the soldiers follow me to kill!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... " the poisonous dragon sounded like a bullhorn at first, but when the horn was completely blown, it let out a roar like a dragon's chant. In every corner of the city, the echo is long and endless.

There are only two poisonous dragon horns in the Xiliang army, one big and one small.The big one was longer and bigger than the bullhorn, and the sound was deep and long; the small one was only an inch long, and the sound was extremely high-pitched and piercing.This pair of poisonous dragons are the dragon horns of the cold pool poisonous dragon. They are carefully polished into horns. After they are blown, they sound unique and have strong penetrating power. They have special effects on all animals.It has a huge impact especially on larger animals such as war horses, cattle and sheep, and can cause these beasts to panic and run away from the horn of the poisonous dragon. The farther the better; Crazy state, fearless, rampage.

As Zhuge Liang said, the first appearance of the poisonous dragon horn was in the Battle of the Blue Wolf Valley, and it was actually the first attempt.The effect is excellent, far exceeding the expectations of all insiders.Five thousand fire bulls rushed on the rampage, smashing 11 cavalry under the command of 11 Yufulo, and chased them for more than ten miles until the fire bulls died of exhaustion.

In that battle, none of the [-] fire oxen turned back halfway, and they all went forward bravely until they died.This is unreasonable.It stands to reason that even if the fire ox's tail is on fire, it can turn around, and even turn around to recoil the Xiliang iron cavalry under Zhou Yu's tent, but the fact is that these fire ox rushed forward frantically, and none of the fire ox turned back halfway from the beginning to the end. .This is because after the fire bull formation was launched, there was always a poisonous dragon's horn behind the fire bull that kept making noises, forcing the fire bull not to dare to turn back, and could only rush forward like a madman.And because Yu Fuluo's army tried their best to stop them, they finally drove the fire bulls crazy, and they kept chasing the barbarian army until they died of exhaustion.

Four years later, the Poisonous Dragon blew again, and the deep whining sound carried a dragon's roar that only animals could understand, and it spread across the entire battlefield in an instant, causing the battlefield that was originally fiercely fought to suddenly change.

"Xi Yu Yu bang bang!"

The moment the Poisonous Dragon sounded, the Hualiu horse carrying Li Li rushed into the battlefield at lightning speed, and the generals Yan Rou, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and other generals who followed Li Li in battle were also killed by the crotch. Get off the mount and rush forward like crazy.The speed was as fast as a gust of wind, and the speed was comparable to the Hualiu horse under Li Li's crotch. As a result, more than a dozen soldiers lost their minds and were instantly thrown away by the horses. Three of them were trampled by the horses behind. And died, and the rest fell into a mess, lost their souls, and didn't know what happened.

Li Li and more than [-] horses are like this, each of them seems to be frightened, rushing towards the battlefield, let alone more than [-] horses fighting fiercely on the battlefield?

But a moment after the sound of the Poisonous Dragon, hundreds of thousands of war horses who were fighting to the death suddenly screamed and neighed, and the neighing of the horses was earth-shattering.At that moment, at least [-] war horses jumped up, stood upright, and neighed to the sky; the huge roar swept the entire battlefield, resounded through the huge White Wolf Mountain, and went straight to the sky, roaring into the sky.It was this sudden change that caused more than [-] soldiers of the two armies to fall off their horses unexpectedly.

Immediately, with the sound of "rumbling" horseshoes and the deafening neighing of the horse, the upright horse suddenly landed, stomped on all fours, turned around and ran, with its head bowed and neck stiffened, running wildly.At this moment, all the frightened war horses fled in one direction, unprecedentedly uniform, coming overwhelmingly, rampaging along the way, destroying all obstacles in front, and sweeping everything.And more than a hundred thousand horses fled in the direction of the central army's rear where Ta Dun and many barbarian leaders were, because behind them was the only passage in the east foot wilderness except for the west mountain road where the poisonous dragon's horn was.

At the same time, the nearly 10 soldiers of the two armies who had just fallen from their horses had no chance to get up after landing.Almost at the same time they were struggling to turn over, they were stepped on by their own horses, either dead or injured, and then they were completely submerged under tens of thousands of horseshoes, merging with the soil below them.

Chapter 978 Killing the Wolf, Bloody Battle on Wolf Mountain 3/3

This moment of great change completely reversed the entire battlefield situation, causing the barbarian army, which was originally in a good situation, to be wiped out.

The frightened war horses are not restrained, there is no distinction between Han horses and Hu horses, no distinction between enemy and friend, and no recognition of superiority and inferiority. They have completely turned into a group of ferocious beasts, a group of demons who wantonly slaughtered living beings.

Among the thousands of horses galloping, nearly one hundred thousand soldiers were submerged under the horses' hooves in an instant, and almost none of the corpses were intact, most of them turned into muddy meat and reduced to dust.But this tragedy is not over, on the contrary, it has just begun, the brutal massacre is continuing, and it is showing an intensifying momentum of madness.Every minute and every second, thousands of soldiers step into the footsteps of the dead, reduced to the ghosts under the hooves of horses. Can't escape.

In the blink of an eye, there was chaos on the battlefield.The sound of horseshoes shook the sky, dust flew up, filled the sky above the battlefield, horses neighed, screamed, screamed, and the sounds were endless, intertwined, forming an indescribable special sound; resounding through the sky, shaking The survivors' ears were ringing, their ears were buzzing, and their minds were blank.So the soldiers of the two armies, who were fighting for their lives, could not help but stop fighting, tried their best to control the mounts under their crotches, and tried their best to escape. The only way to survive was to drive the horses out of the battlefield.

However, no one expected that there were still people killing people at this time.But seeing him galloping freely with only a long-handled saber and a red horse under his crotch, he beheaded nearly a hundred barbarians in just a quarter of an hour, and almost chopped off at least two heads with a single blow. Extremely sturdy.at the same time.He killed people as well as horses, as long as a war horse rushed over, he would chop off the horse's head with one knife.Then move on.Running wildly and killing all the way, he rode his horse and brandished his knife, drove straight in, rushed into the center of the battlefield on the left wing, and met Li Zhi and other [-] gold-armored guards who were trying to control their mounts.

"My lord!" Li Zhi, who hadn't stuttered for many years, was inexplicably surprised when he saw Li Li appear in front of him.Suddenly the problem of stuttering was committed again.

"Ahhh!" The saber in his palm flew left and right, beheading three barbarians with a wave of his hand, and Li Li drove his horse up to Li Zhi.He shouted in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about? This horse ran away long ago, how can we wait until now? Most of my Xiliang warhorses have been trained by the Little Poisonous Dragon, and they are not as fragile as you think. Look at the panicked warhorses in front of you How many are Xiliang war horses?"

Following the direction of Li Li's finger, Li Zhi suddenly found that everything was exactly as Li Li said.Most of the horses fleeing in panic at this moment were mounted by barbarians.Among them, only a few Xiliang cavalry were carried by the horses and ran all the way.The rest of the war cavalry all stayed behind the barbarian army, and most of them had already controlled the war horses, and they were still waiting and watching, all in a dazed state of being at a loss.

Seeing that Li Zhi's flustered expression quickly calmed down, Li Li stopped talking, and directly ordered: "Reform the army immediately, order Gongsun Zan to continue to lead the army into the battle, and defeat the left wing of the barbarian army while the barbarian army was panicked. Ta Dun's army. Order the golden armored guards to gather quickly and follow me into the barbarian army. Take Ta Dun's head directly!"

"Promise!" Hearing the command, Li Zhi immediately reined in his horse and helped Gongsun Zan, who was not far behind him, stabilize his mount, and then passed on Li Li's order.

Not long after, Li Zhi led the Golden Armored Guards to gather together again.However, after nearly two hours of fighting, only 16 of the Golden Armored Guards were killed, and there were still more than 280 people.

Immediately after, Li Lili led the Golden Armored Guards to continue the charge, but it was no longer him who led the way, but Li Zhi and Chen Dao.In this battle, the group only wanted to get close to Tadun's army as soon as possible, and killing the enemy was the second priority. They ignored them except for the barbarian army who ran into the blade head-on, and just rode their horses forward.

The horn of the poisonous dragon is not omnipotent. Its sound has no effect on humans, but it has a special effect on animals, and it is huge and sensitive.Being on the battlefield, the human ear can hardly hear the sound of the Poison Dragon, and even if it is faintly heard, it is easy to ignore it, but the war horses can hear it and react immediately, and their first reaction is to turn around and run away.

It was this strange sound that changed the entire situation of the battle, and as the sound of the horn continued to spread, Ta Dun and the mounts of the leaders in the rear of the barbarian army also became panicked and gradually lost control. Wanton scurrying.Just at this time, the frightened horse herds of the front army and the central army swarmed in, instantly breaking down the formation of the rear army, causing the rear army who had been sitting in command to become a mess.Hundreds of soldiers were knocked off by the horses and then trampled to death by the horses. The scene was extremely tragic.

Ta Dun, who witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, and the leaders of the various ministries suddenly panicked. Many leaders instinctively reined in their horses and turned around, fleeing for their lives in a hurry.But Ta Dun and others forcibly drove their mounts out of the way and retreated to the foot of a distant mountain, and tried to prevent the army from retreating without authorization, hoping to regroup the army and defeat the completely disadvantaged Han army in one fell swoop.Until now, they still don't know what caused the horse to be frightened suddenly, and it affected such a wide range.Fortunately, it wasn't just the barbarians who were frightened by the war horses. The Han army was the same.Especially the Ke Bineng Department on the right wing suffered huge casualties, and there are still thousands of troops left, completely disabled.

Because of this, even though the barbarian army suffered huge casualties of tens of thousands of troops, Tadun did not give up fighting.In his view, since the frightened war horses caused huge casualties to his army, the Han army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.Since then, the two sides have evened out.However, the barbarian army has a large number of troops, twice that of the Han army, so the barbarian army can fully withstand these casualties and still have the power to fight.In contrast, if the Han army suffers heavy casualties, they may not be able to fight anymore.After the frightened horse subsided, the barbarian army could win without a fight, completely wiped out all the soldiers and horses under Li Li's command, and even captured Li Li in one go.

It is precisely based on this mentality that Ta Dun is not panicking at the moment, let alone running away, but at the foot of the mountain, watching the changes in the battle situation.After the soldiers under his command have stabilized their horses, they can quickly reorganize the army and fight the Han army again.

Even so, looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, Ta Dun was burning with anxiety, shaking his head and sighing.He couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it, it was a good decisive battle, why was the horse suddenly frightened?It's fine for the war horse to be frightened, this kind of thing is not uncommon, why don't you startle it sooner or later, but startle the horse at this juncture?Moreover, the most unbelievable thing is that all the horses on the entire battlefield were frightened at the same time. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

"It's really a ghost in the daytime, what a strange thing!" Unable to understand the reason, Ta Dun could only attribute all this to chance, and regarded it as a great strange thing that he had only seen in his life.

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.This sentence couldn't be more appropriate when applied to Ta Dun.

In fact, it is strange to say that this matter is not strange, but it is actually very simple.If both sides in this war are infantry, then nothing will happen.No matter how weird the Dulong is, it can only affect animals such as cattle, sheep, livestock, birds and beasts, and has no effect on humans.The reason why the Poison Dragon is so powerful this time is that, in the final analysis, this is a cavalry duel, and the biggest reliance of the cavalry is the crotch horse.As a result, this unprecedented tragedy is both accomplished and destroyed.

The rear of the Han army.Zhuge Liang, Tian Yu, and Shi A stood on the rocky slope, stunned by the chaotic and miserable scene before them, shocked in their hearts, dumbfounded, watching the thousands of horses galloping on the battlefield in the distance, and the countless Tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies were trampled to death by war horses.At this moment, the horror in their hearts is beyond words, let alone the complex feelings in their hearts, and they don't even know how the scene in front of them was done.It is unbelievable and unbelievable that a mere trumpet can trigger such a grand and tragic scene.However, the facts are in front of them, so they can't help but believe it; if they can't confirm what they saw with their own eyes, then it can only be explained by extremes.

The scene in front of him may be seen only in his life for Zhuge Liang and others, but it is not for Li Li, or it has long been familiar to him. Li Li has seen more magnificent and tragic scenes than this, but that is not the case. It is in the hereafter.The weapons of the later generations are so powerful that even the big men can't even think about it. A nuclear bomb is enough to destroy a city with a million people, and there will be no people or animals left, turning it into a completely ruined city.
