Chapter 260 The God-like General Li(1/2)
Rudar, Humu and others were almost a mile away from the earthen wall, but the shouts of killing on the battlefield could be heard clearly.
Just hearing the shouts of killing, even though I couldn't see it with my own eyes, I could somewhat judge the brutality of the fight between the two sides.
Suddenly, while watching Rudar from afar as Mu Tai's men rushed into the earthen wall, Humu and others saw a big flag raised high.
"Look, Patriarch, that seems to be the flag of Mutai. He actually called out the flag. Is this because he wants to fight for his life?"
It is a common thing in the army to display the flag of a general, but that big flag appears at the front. It is obvious that the purpose of displaying the flag on the wooden platform is to boost the morale of his troops.
Rudar and the others were not at the scene, so they naturally didn't know that the reason why Mu Tai raised the flag was because they discovered Li Huan's presence.
Rudar's face straightened, he looked at the erected flag from a distance and said, "Let's just look at it first."
Several eyes fell on the flag, and they saw that the flag was moving forward at an extremely fast speed, especially as another large flag belonging to the Ming Army was also fluttering in the wind, and the distance between the two flags was very fast.
near.
"I really didn't expect that the mighty general of the Ming Army actually had some courage. He dared to go to the front line in person, and even dared to challenge Mutai Wanhu."
One of Rudar's generals had a somewhat surprised look in his eyes.
Rudar nodded slightly and said: "Yes, over the years, we have marched southward several times, and most of the Ming army generals stayed in the city and did not dare to come out to fight. It can be said that the higher the official position, the more afraid of death, and the more
Don’t dare to risk your life, this mighty general is quite unexpected.”
Because they had fought against the Ming army too many times, these Tatar senior officials knew some of the situation in the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that among the army, a group of civil and military officials are stationed in the Nine Borders. When these officials face their invasion, they often hide in the city and dare not come out. There are not even any high-ranking officials or dignitaries to lead the army to fight.
them.
On the contrary, the lower-level soldiers guarding the border town are not afraid of death. It can be said that every time they break through the border town, they will encounter desperate resistance from the Ming soldiers who guard the key points of the pass.
Just like before, Suder's troops had to sacrifice thousands of lives in order to capture Fort Wuning before they could capture that pass.
The man who guards Wuning Fort is just a guerrilla general in the Ming Army. He can only be regarded as a middle- and lower-level general in the Ming Army.
A man who looked like a scribe stroked his beard and said to Rudar: "Thousands of households don't know something. The Ming Dynasty emphasized that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. As the commander-in-chief of an army, he is responsible for the safety of the three armies and should sit in the center of the town.
The army is responsible for coordinating the four directions, so how can you put yourself in danger and charge forward to kill? That is contrary to the way of being a general."
As he spoke, the scribe turned to Rudar and said: "My subordinates think that Mutai Wanhu should not risk his life this time and rush to the front. If everything goes well, that's all. If something happens to Mutai Wanhu, I'm afraid
The morale of the army will be greatly affected."
Just by listening to the scribe's accent and his words and deeds, we knew that he must have been born in the Ming Dynasty and had defected to the Tatars for various reasons.
Before the scribe could finish what he said, Humu laughed loudly and said, "What kind of gentleman is not good for being under a dangerous wall? If you ask me, it's just an excuse for a cowardly person who has no courage."
The scribe was not annoyed at all when he heard this and said: "General Humu's words are wrong!"
Seeing that Hu Mu and the scribe were about to argue, Rudar waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's see who is better between Mu Tai and the mighty general first."
As for how to judge, it's very simple. You can see clearly just by looking at the movements of the flags of both sides.
However, the next moment, looking from a distance, I saw a black shadow falling on the tall flagpole, which looked vaguely like a human figure.
Hu Mu blinked his eyes and said: "Clan leader, then... what is that? Why does it look like a person?"
Rudar is a famous marksman among the Tatars. Not only is his arm strength astonishing, but his eyesight is also far beyond ordinary people.
Hu Mu could only vaguely see a figure falling on the flagpole, but from Rudal's perspective, he could clearly see a corpse being stuck on the flagpole and raised high.
"That's a wooden platform!"
With an almost horrified look on his face, Rudal said something that shocked everyone.
Hu Mu and others clearly heard Rudar's exclamation, and they were all stunned for a moment, and then a look of astonishment and confusion appeared on their faces.
Hu Mu even turned to Rudar and said: "Clan leader, what are you talking about? Mutai Ten Thousand Households was hung on their own flagpole. He... was he killed by the Ming army? How is this possible?"
"Yes, yes, the elite cavalry of the Ming Army are in the distance. They are being stared at by our people right now. Even the infantry of the Ming Army want to be among the army..."
Rudar said with a solemn expression: "Am I still wrong? Who else would wear such a gorgeous fur robe except the wooden platform."
The scribe sighed softly and murmured softly: "It seems that the ten thousand households in the wooden platform are too careless. As the saying goes, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall..."
There was a snap and a loud slap. The scribe looked blankly at Humu who slapped him hard, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Humu snorted at the scribe with a cold face: "Cai Changming, if you keep mumbling, I will break your neck."
Cai Changming only felt a burning pain in his cheek, and even a salty smell of blood came from the corner of his mouth. However, seeing the undisguised disdain and murderous intent in Hu Mu's eyes, Cai Changming closed his mouth in good faith.
Seeing this scene, Rudar just glanced at Cai Changming lightly, his eyes fixed on the two big flags that merged into one in the distance.
There was Mu Tai's corpse hanging on one of the big flags, and Hu Mu and the others were gritting their teeth just looking at it.
Humu said to Rudar: "Lord Patriarch, ten thousand households in Mutai are dead. We can't just watch. Do you want my subordinates to lead others..."
Rudar pointed at the troops under Mu Tai who were charging continuously and sneered: "Aren't there enough people in Mu Tai?"
As he spoke, Rudal took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said, "Cheer up and be ready to fight at any time."
So while Rudal and others were watching from a distance, they only saw the two eye-catching flags on the battlefield in the distance. They were so invincible on the battlefield, coming and going as if they were in no one's land.
Especially when they saw a group of blood-stained Ming army cavalry under the fiercely fluttering Li banner, chasing down the fleeing troops of Mutai like wolves and tigers, Rudal and others were all confused.
The face was shocked.
Li Huan led Xu Ying and more than a thousand cavalry to kill with great joy. The joy of pursuing death and chasing north made everyone subconsciously wave their weapons. Every time they waved their weapons, a Tatar fell from his horse.
Suddenly, Li Huan's spirit was shaken, and a brilliant light flashed in his eyes, and he saw a neat line of Tatar troops in front of him, raising their bows and shooting arrows.
Seeing this situation, Li Huan roared: "Everyone, be careful."
At this time, Li Huan and others had obviously rushed into the shooting range of Rudar's troops. It can only be said that Li Huan and others were too obsessed with killing before, or that the morale of the soldiers under Mutai had collapsed.
The men and horses were so careless that they didn't even resist. Li Huan and the others couldn't help but pursue them with all their strength, so that they unknowingly entered the shooting range of Rudar's men.
Following Rudar's order, arrows suddenly fell like rain, covering at least nearly one-third of the men and horses at the front headed by Li Huan.
Li Huan let out a loud roar that brought all the soldiers back to their senses. When they looked up, they saw a heavy rain of arrows coming from the sky.
Many of the soldiers were covered in blood, and the swords in their hands were curled from killing the Tatars. Their arms seemed to have lost consciousness, and they felt a sense of extreme fatigue.
At this moment, looking at the black rain of arrows falling, many soldiers showed no fear on their faces. Instead, they looked at the corpses of the fallen Tatars all around with expressions of satisfaction on their faces.
Even if they are going to die in the next moment, they are content.
Li Huan looked at the arrows falling like rain, and he jumped up several feet. He was in mid-air, and the spear in his hand was dancing.
Suddenly there was a clanging sound, and hundreds of arrows were blocked by Li Huan.
It can be said that with Li Huan as the center, within a radius of several feet, the arrow could not go past Li Huan. Naturally, the Ming soldiers who followed Li Huan were already mentally prepared to be shot on the spot, but they
Not even an arrow was seen.
It's a pity that Li Huan is not a god. At most, he can only protect the soldiers behind him. The Ming army cavalry a few feet away were pierced by arrows falling from the sky one by one. In the blink of an eye, many soldiers were pierced by arrows.
It shot directly like a hedgehog.
Xu Ying waved her spear in her hand to block the rain of arrows, but accidentally she was hit by a stray arrow on her shoulder, not to mention other soldiers.
That is to say, only about one-third of the more than a thousand cavalry rushed into the shooting range of the Tatars. Otherwise, if Rudal had been more patient, when Li Huan and others all rushed into the shooting range, such a wave of arrows would have
If we go down, I am afraid that among the more than a thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, there will not be more than a hundred people standing.
"withdraw!"
Li Huan looked at the waiting Tatar soldiers and horses from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Just looking at the opponent's posture, Li Huan knew that if he charged into the formation again, he might be safe, but the people behind him
I am afraid that none of the Ming soldiers, Li Guo, Li Hu and other personal guards will survive.
However, the results achieved just now were beyond Li Huan's imagination. Although the march to the formation was blocked by the rain of Tatar arrows, this battle can definitely be said to be a complete victory.
Following Li Huan's order, everyone who could still move turned around and retreated.
Li Hu and Li Guo looked at the dense arrows on the ground around them with lingering fear. They couldn't help but said to Li Huan who was standing there: "Sir, we will protect you as you retreat."
Li Huan glanced at Li Hu and Li Guo. He saw that although they were covered in blood, they were safe and sound. Hearing this, he shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, wait until everyone has evacuated.
I will retreat again."
In the military formation on the opposite side, Rudar, Humu, Cai Changming and others all had a look of ferocious smiles and expectations on their faces.
They watched with their own eyes the soldiers under Mutai's command were chased and killed by Li Huan and the Ming army. Especially when they saw those Tatar warriors were so frightened that they just ran for their lives and did not even dare to turn around to resist.
Mu, Rudar and others wanted to rush forward immediately and kill Li Huan and others on the spot.
However, Rudar, Humu and others gritted their teeth and held back their inner impulses. Under Cai Changming's advice, they allowed Li Huan to lead the army to approach, and then covered it with arrows.
It was precisely because of Cai Changming's suggestion that Rudal, Humu and others had been holding back. However, when Li Huan led his men to rush over, because the distance was too close, Rudal, Humu and the others could clearly see
A Tatar warrior was killed and fell from his horse.
Finally, Humu couldn't help the anger in his heart. Before Li Huan and the others could get closer, he roared, and the Tatar archer, who had already tightened a string, shot out the arrow in an instant.
Although it was said that due to Humu's impulsiveness, he could only cover about one-third of the Ming army's cavalry, Rudal and Humu were fortunate that Li Huan's banner was at the front.
This means that Li Huan, a mighty general of the Ming army, will definitely die in the rain of arrows.
Half of Cai Changming's face was extremely red and swollen. At this moment, he was stroking his beard and said with a proud look: "Chief, the mighty General Li Huan will definitely die this time. This is..."
Before Cai Changming could finish his words, all the Tatar generals including Humu, Rudar and others showed extremely horrified looks.
