the enlightener says

In the eyes of everyone, his body is not strong. If he wears a Confucian robe, he looks more like an ordinary teacher. People even doubt whether his clean hands can lift a knife, let alone ride a horse. The horses fought in front of the formation.

However, when he roared and uttered those words, everyone seemed to see a male lion roaring, proudly raising its head and roaring towards the world, defiantly.

Abu looked at Wang Xuanwei's back with complicated eyes, and felt waves surging in his chest.

Maybe this is the so-called military might?

As the general of the Mo family and the head of the Strategist of the Guigu Sect, he has gone through all kinds of battles in his life without losing a single defeat. Even the allied forces of the princes back then failed to defeat the black cavalry under his command.

In him, there is the power against the sky gathered by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Everyone believes in him and believes that he can lead them to victory, and he finally fulfilled his promise and did everything he said.

Abu remembered that when Gao Changgong led eight thousand Qingzhou ghost riders to the expedition, he should have done the same.

Do you have a chance to be like them?Or to put it another way... Even with one tenth of them... I feel very satisfied.

The soldiers under the stage cheered up, puffed up their chests one after another, clenched the handle of the knife around their waists, and shouted with all their strength to the stage: "General, we listen to you!"

"Yes, General! We believe in you! As long as you lead us, we will surely win the battle! So what about the [-] Tang troops! The giant also said at the beginning that the general can be a million soldiers by himself. What is it to rush out of Jinzhou?"

And these voices finally converged into three words: "General!"

General!

Even though 3000 people are here, they only see one person in their eyes!

"Hahaha..." Wang Xuanwei laughed suddenly, unrestrainedly, his gray temples were trembling in his smile, but his eyes were full of wildness, he cupped his hands abruptly, "Masters! It's all mine!" Loyal and brave man of the Mohists! If you win this battle, Xuanwei will reward you for your meritorious service, and repay the princes with military etiquette. If you lose this battle, Xuanwei will die before all the princes!"

"Willing to follow the general to kill the enemy!" Everyone knelt down in unison, the sound of the knee armor colliding with the ground was like drumbeats, they clasped their hands and shouted to Wang Xuanwei, "Wish to follow the general to kill the enemy!"

"Serve the wine!" Wang Xuan yelled loudly, and from both sides of the queue, the sergeants who had already been unable to restrain themselves rushed forward, handing bowls to everyone's hands, and the others poured the water into everyone's hands. in individual bowls.

The wine was clear, but the taste was very strong, but when everyone drank it together with Wang Xuanwei, it was like a scalding knife, with a sharp pain, which strengthened everyone's courage.

Wang Xuanwei raised the pottery bowl that had already been drunk, and threw it on the ground suddenly. The pottery bowl collided with the wooden board of the table, and it was smashed into pieces in an instant.

Rather Stick to your guns!

Wang Xuan took a deep breath slightly: "Let's go!"

Chapter 448 Tribulus

In the Tang army camp, Li Mei quietly looked at the busy camp. Countless soldiers of the Tang army were pulling out the ground nails in an orderly manner, gathering up the tents, and loading countless supplies on the carts. Obviously, the two big camps in the southeast It is the same situation.

It's just that he still doesn't understand why Xiang Chu showed indifference to his strategy at first, but now he actively asks him to preside over the dismantling of the camp, as if he really wanted to give up Jinzhou and attack Xingzhou.

What is the mystery here?

Li Mei closed his lips tightly, only feeling a smell of gold and iron from the refreshing wind, the flame rose up in the dark, but it was still waiting, waiting for the moment of starting a prairie fire, only then, it Only then will all the smoothness really bloom.

He didn't join the army early, so he didn't know much about "that person" Xiang Chu said, let alone fought against him.

It's just that this doesn't make him underestimate the slightest bit. After all, even though the lion in the wilderness was old and started to grow old, its minions were still sharp. It would patrol its own land day and night and fight against any intruders from outside. , until the enemy's larynx is crushed, or he is torn to pieces.

However, with Jinzhou's military strength, what would he do?He is no longer a general, let alone hundreds of thousands of Mohist troops serving him, what can he do?

With the current situation like this, can one person turn things around?

However, at this moment, he heard the sound of the horn.

"It's the clarion call to attack." Li Mei stood up abruptly, staring at the city of Jinzhou from a distance. The clarion call did not come from the Tang army's camp, but from Jinzhou.

But Jinzhou, with only more than 1 remnants and weak soldiers, dared to blow the horn of attack so wantonly?Is it a provocation?Or posturing?

He turned his head and followed the ladder all the way up until he reached the highest point of the observation deck.When the soldiers above saw their general coming up, they immediately saluted respectfully: "General."

Li Mei just nodded slightly, looked at the city of Jinzhou, and remained silent.

The gate of the city was actually opened. The gate of the city that was difficult to destroy by the generals of the Tang Army broke open at this moment. The scenery and light in the city bloomed through the cave to the outside of the city.

And under this bright sky, a cavalry is slowly leaving the city.

This cavalry has only more than [-] people, but the horses are well prepared. One man and three horses, at first glance, it looks like a long-distance attack, but in Li Mo's view, it is very strange. Still lying in front of Jinzhou, like a moat, where can he attack?

"Fight of trapped beasts?" Li Mo sneered, "Pass down the order to let Wang Sheng, Luo Song, and Hu Feng each lead their troops out of the camp and set up their formations."

"Yes." The sentinel didn't dare to say more, and ran down from the watchtower in a hurry.

Standing on the top of Jinzhou City, Gongshucha looked at the Tang army's camp, seeing the army spread out like an iron tide, his heart tightened slightly.

Breaking three thousand to one hundred thousand, even Wang Xuanwei may not be able to do it easily.

It's just that he shouldn't think too much right now, he just needs to do a series of things arranged by Wang Xuanwei, he said in a deep voice: "Send the order, the first army and the third army will leave the city through the arranged gates."

Soon, Li Mo received the notification, and was a little surprised: "Are 7000 people leaving the city through the east gate and south gate?"

"Wang Xuanwei..." Li Mo murmured in a low voice, "What exactly is he going to do?"

At this time, Jinzhou's war drums were sounded, and the sound of the horn was like thunder, covering the whole world with sobs. Even the clouds seemed to feel the solemnity, hanging down on the top of Jinzhou city like a big hand.

Inside the big tent, the corner of Xiang Chu's mouth curled up, and he stood up slowly, his face couldn't help showing ecstasy: "It really is you, I guessed right, Wang Xuanwei, you really are in Jinzhou!"

He once fought against Wang Xuanwei. At that time, he was just a young general, leading ten thousand cavalry from the Tang Dynasty, but he was defeated by Wang Xuanwei after only a few encounters. However, the commander-in-chief at that time was not him but Cai. Yong, so in the eyes of most people, this defeat should be blamed on Cai Yong.

And as Xiang Chu's status has been rising in the past few years, fewer people will mention this matter, for fear of bringing back some bad memories of Xiang Chu.

But Xiang Chu knew in his heart that for so many years, he had always regarded this failure as a history of shame that he was inferior to Wang Xuanwei.

Perhaps Cai Yong was the commander in chief at the time, but in his opinion, Cai Yong's arrangement was understandable. Even if he was replaced as commander in chief, they could only deal with it that way. They lost in the end, not because the Tang army was too weak, nor because Cai Yong was too weak. Yong was not capable of fighting.

It was Wang Xuanwei, who was too powerful.

"The Mo family has you, so they can keep the country safe." Xiang Chu said softly, "But now that the Mo family has abandoned you, what can you do?"

He laughed and stroked the sword: "Let me see and see."

When Wang Xuanwei left the city, he was in a trance. At that moment, he almost thought that he had returned to the day when he fought for the first time. At that time, the Mo family was not strong, and the court was not as it is now. It was a battlefield where several families contended.

He held the reins of the horse, and behind him were tens of thousands of valiant soldiers. Their chests were burning with fire, and what they drank was hot wine. The horses neighed, and they slapped the saddle with knives. The smell of blood.

It was the first time he commanded, and it was also the first time he killed someone with his own hands, but he had no fear in his heart, only felt that the sky was blue and the blood was hot, and the celebration wine was mellow and sweet.

And as he grew older, he began to fear, afraid that he would fail one day, worried that he would lose power and fall to the altar, and whether the territory he had worked so hard for for many years would be lost in the hands of future generations.

Unexpectedly, the worry became a reality, he really lost his position as a general, and the Mo family really lost a lot of land.

But he felt a little calm and at ease in his heart.

This is not necessarily bad, is it?

At least he hasn't really aged, he is still straddling a restless horse, and the soldiers behind him still regard death as home.

"Advance! There is no way for us behind! We can only pass through them, or die in their army formation!" Amidst the dull sound of the horn, Wang Xuanwei looked at the Tang army who was as thick as the ocean, and his legs suddenly clamped On the belly of the horse, a 3000-man cavalry team carrying [-] horses rushed towards the Tang army like a rolling tide.

The entire cavalry raised their speed to the limit almost from the very beginning. They didn't care at all how such a speed attack would have a bad follow-up effect on the mounts under their crotches. To break through the formation of the Tang army, they had to fight everything.

Seen from above, the three thousand cavalry are like an off-string arrow with a sharp tip, and the sides are drawn towards the middle. Qin Ke and Abu are close together, and they can even feel each other's rapid breathing and nervous mood.

The Tang army's phalanx was as stable as a city wall, before the drum-like sound of horseshoes, it did not waver at all, and countless sharp spikes protruded from the gaps between the shields.

The offense and defense suddenly changed on this day. The Jinzhou Army, which had been standing firm in the city, became the one charging at this moment.

The rumble of horseshoes was getting louder and louder in Tang Jun's ears. Standing in the middle of the formation, the general saw that the distance between the three thousand cavalry was getting closer, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he waved his hand suddenly and said, "Let go!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of black mist rose from the camp of the Tang army. It was a curtain of death composed of countless arrows. When they reached the highest point, they began to flip downward. Bring a sharp wind.

But at this moment, the three thousand cavalry suddenly moved, and all the galloping horses suddenly turned around at that moment, as if fearing the rain of arrows, they fled to the left in embarrassment.

Tang Jun did not expect such a result for a while, so the arrow rain fell into nothing. Except for a few who fell into the cavalry and caused people to turn their backs, most of the arrows were deeply inserted with the sound of "嗤嗤". among the land.

Even so, Tang Jun was not discouraged. He just saw that the cavalry had turned and fled back, and laughed loudly: "They are scared! A bunch of cowards!"

The general also sneered: "It's the end, but I still don't have the guts." Then he shouted in a majestic and powerful voice, "First battalion of cavalry! Come out!"

Amidst the neighing of the war horses, the formation of the Tang army changed, and the cavalry continued to move forward in the formation until they reached the front of the entire formation of the Tang army.

"They have lost the momentum to charge, catch up and kill them all." The general gave an order, and all the cavalry began to rush towards the three thousand cavalry who were "fleeing in embarrassment" like a tidal wave. .

In their view, once this cavalry left the city, where would there be a chance to go back?The city gate has been closed, and even if they want to open it again now, they will only be more happy to take this opportunity to rush in, break the city defense of Jinzhou, and completely take the city as their own.

Wang Xuanwei was at the front, his expression as cold as frost, he was not wearing any armor, and his robes fluttered in the wind. Following the ups and downs of nine thousand war horses, he adjusted his breathing, and then he said loudly: "Let's go!" Tribulus!"

The entire cavalry team listened to his orders, countless barbed caltrops were thrown high from their hands, and as the cavalry continued to move forward, these barbed caltrops were all left behind and fell on the ground one by one. on the ground.

The barbed wire of the Mohist has four spikes when it is made. After throwing it, no matter how it falls, there will be one spike facing upwards. It only takes an instant to spread out a piece of ground thorns.

The cavalry of the Tang army did not expect such a change for a while. During the wailing of the horses, I don't know how many horses were injured by stepping on these terriers, and fell to the ground in an instant, in a mess.

"Rush up! It's just a small trick!" The general of the cavalry looked at the front coldly, "Even if they throw all the caltrops, how many of us will be hurt?"

However, beyond his expectation, until a dozen or so breaths later, the three thousand cavalry continued to throw out thistles, and more and more Tang cavalry were damaged by trampling on thistles.

Seeing this situation, the general couldn't help cursing: "Damn! How much did they bring?"

Wang Xuanwei did bring a lot of caltrops with him. It can even be said that he had emptied all the caltrops in Jinzhou. Each of the three horses had a big bag, and it seemed that he couldn't finish throwing them away.

"Don't chase, don't chase." Looking back at the cavalry of the Tang army who were chasing, Qin Ke suppressed the panic in his heart with broken thoughts, and kept grabbing the barbed wire from his pocket.

He was wearing a pair of thick deerskin gloves, so he would not be hurt by the caltrops in his pocket.

Then, he raised his hand and swung the barbed wire back. They drew a high arc in the air, and under the strong wind, they fell towards Tang Jun's path.

Sometimes, even because he used more force than others, some barbed wire would fall directly on Tang Jun's head like a hidden weapon. It will fall off the horse, and the galloping horseshoes behind it will immediately trample it into a puddle of meat.

In fact, it is rare for a cavalry to carry so many caltrops, because each caltrop weighs about one catty. Carrying a large number of caltrops will inevitably make the horse too heavy. The hardness and wear resistance of ordinary tribulus.

Tang Jun, who was chasing behind them, was furious at this moment. They were obviously aggressive all the way, and their whips were almost connected together, but the endless barbed thorns were like thorny waves, constantly attacking their horseshoes, dragging their horses back and forth. slowed them down.

It seems that there is another chasing team that lost a lot of people. I don’t know which bastard has a strong hand, and a small barbed caltrop can throw the force of a stone. With a bit of luck, he hit the door and died. Very miserable.

The entire battlefield gradually formed an absurd farce scene. The Mohist cavalry fled all the way in front, laying large pieces of barbed caltrops with their hands, while the Tang cavalry pursued with all their strength, but they were still unable to get close.

Not only that, because the ground was full of messy barbed wire, their original orderly formation was also in disarray, from time to time people and horses fell over together, followed by the people and horses sending out blows that could pierce the sky. Cries of pain.

Gongshucha stood on the top of the wall, with his lips tightly closed, watching the two armies confront each other, he felt admiration in his heart.

Probably only General Wang could come up with such a weird tactic, and probably only Jinzhou, guarded by the public loser, could provide him with all kinds of powerful material foreign aid.

This is not the first time this tactic has been shown here—everyone of the Mohist black cavalry is equipped with a hand crossbow that can fire continuously, and the arrows are shot very quickly. In addition, the black cavalry is lightly armed and can move quickly, so they can use such an advantage Keep your distance and consume the enemy with crossbow arrows.

When the coalition forces of several countries attacked the Mo family, they suffered a lot from such tactics.

No matter who it is, if you are chasing and can't catch up, if you can't escape, if you stand still, you can easily become a target for crossbows and arrows. There was a shout of killing.

Seeing that the two armies were gradually approaching the top of the city, he raised one hand and stared at the city. After about three breaths, he waved his hand suddenly: "Let go!"

At this moment, thousands of arrows were fired from the city of Jinzhou, and the ballista was spitting out arrows like crazy at this moment, and the black feather arrows formed an iron curtain of death in the air.

The angry cavalry of the Tang army finally realized that they had made a mistake. Although the barbed caltrops thrown by the three thousand Mohist cavalry in front of them gave them a huge headache, the damage was limited after all. After they dispersed, the distance between the two armies has been increasing close.

But what they don't count is, they don't have enough distance!

Even if they can catch up with the Mohist cavalry, at the same time, they have also entered the attack range of the Jinzhou city guards. What they have to face is not the [-] Mohist cavalry, but the countless precise crossbow carts and Archers!

Chapter 449 Three thousand!Seven thousand!

"Back! Back!" A chill ran up the spine of the cavalry general, and his vest was soaked in cold sweat. He put away the anger in his heart and shouted loudly: "Quick! Evacuate in the opposite direction!"

It's just that they were already too aggressive, and Gong Shucha at the top of the city deliberately waited a little longer to let Wang Xuanwei lure them to a place close enough before starting to shoot arrows. Fall away.

Amidst the neighing of war horses, countless cavalrymen of the Tang Kingdom were hit by feathered arrows. Although the cowhide armor on their bodies could block the feathered arrows to a certain extent, it was only to a certain extent. It is deliberately made thicker and sharper than the archer's arrows. In front of such crossbow arrows, the cowhide armor is like a thin layer of silk, which is vulnerable to a single blow.

A total of three waves of crossbow arrows fell, and the nearly 8000 Tang cavalrymen had fallen hundreds of people. Counting the victims of the barbed caltrops before, only [-] of the [-] Tang cavalry were left to continue galloping on horseback.

"It's really powerful." Standing on the observation deck, Li Mei watched what happened in the distance, and immediately ordered: "The first battalion, second battalion, and third battalion of the infantry advance forward and cover the battlefield!"

With the beating of war drums and the change of drum beats, countless soldiers in armor lined up holding heavy shields in their hands. The spears in their hands showed their sharpness. Shake the mountains.

But before the infantry moved forward, the confrontation between the two cavalry changed again.

Originally, the Tang army was chasing the Mohist cavalry, but at this moment, the Mohist cavalry turned around and charged towards the Tang cavalry with a more decisive attitude than when they fled just now!

The barbed wire had been almost thrown away, and the leather bag that was piled full became empty at this moment. Qin Ke sighed, and suddenly pulled out the Bodhisattva Sword from his waist. The blade of the sword shone coldly in the sun.

Wang Xuanwei was still at the forefront of the cavalry, and at the moment when the two armies met, he blatantly drew his sword.

It's hard to imagine that Wang Xuanwei, a spiritual practitioner, brought out the sword with a wave of thunder, and there was a sudden explosion out of thin air. It was the sound of the sword raised by the Tang cavalry in front of him being severed.

Without hesitation, Wang Xuanwei raised the knife again, and slashed another Tang Jun who passed by him. The blade did not penetrate into Tang Jun's armor, and the blood gushed out immediately, spraying a picture in the air. A bewitching scarlet.

The Tang cavalry never thought that Wang Xuanwei would turn his head around and launch a fierce attack, so they could only bite the bullet and be chased by the horse's buttocks to charge towards their own infantry shields.

Qin Ke turned sideways slightly, and the edge of a war sword rubbed past his hair, then he squinted his eyes, and the tip of the sword pierced out, directly piercing a person's chest, while Abu not far away was waving With the long halberd in his hand, he swept away thousands of troops with the strength of one person, and the Tang army entered the formation several times as if he had entered the land of no one.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!" The generals of the Tang cavalry shouted in the crowd with red eyes. They had already left the range of the crossbow arrows at the top of the city. If they continued to flee for a while, they would be able to escape behind the shining silver shields.
