Chapter Twelve No Forgotten Four
The leader of the Tongguan reinforcements is a tall Tibetan man with a black Dawan horse on his hip. He wears a fur jersey. His iron-gray breastplate is exposed when he is running. Tiger heads on both shoulders peek out majestically from under the jersey.
A large black face with Chinese characters appeared, with several scars crisscrossing it, and then there were ravines etched by the wind and sand in the bitter cold land of the northwest.
This iron-tower-like man is named Geshu Pingjing. He is the nephew of Geshuhan, the king of Xiping County. He followed Geshuhan in the Western Regions for ten years and made numerous military exploits.
Geshu Pingjing has been on the battlefield for a long time. Although Ji Ruochen's troops are only a few thousand people, their lineup is extremely strict. Facing several times the enemy, no one is afraid, no one makes any move, not even the hundreds of knights guarding the central army.
, no one was frightened and no horses neighed, so they knew they had met a rare and powerful enemy. Brother Shu Pingjing pointed his two iron shuo to the sky, and the army behind him immediately started to move. Hundreds of archers rushed out of the line, shooting a shower of arrows in the distance.
, pressing down the corners of the formation. Shield soldiers, sword and axemen, and spearmen unfolded one after another, forming two conical formations. Finally, two thousand cavalry rode out from the left and right wings, like wild geese with their wings spread out slowly, facing Ji Ruochen's thin body.
The military formation is watching with eager eyes.
Five thousand Northern troops stood quietly under the morning light, waiting for the Western troops to set up their positions.
It wasn't until more than a moment passed that the 20,000 Tongguan army was fully deployed and formed into a strict formation. This speed was enough to be called an elite. However, Ge Shuping's wolf-like eyes stared at the motionless Northern Army, but it seemed that
There was a worried look. This morning, Ge Shu Pingjing sent out more than a dozen groups of more than 60 people to scout the cavalry, but received no return. At that time, he already knew that the future was dangerous, but he had to move forward, and he finally broke camp.
Not long after walking, he was stopped on the road.
Geshu Pingjing originally thought that the rebels were powerful and had blocked the way forward, but he had been on the battlefield for many years and was a king's disciple, so he was not afraid. He was confident that he could fight even if An Lushan came in person.
Who would have thought that the enemy troops appearing in front of them were so small.
He knew that Ji Ruochen had every chance to launch a surprise attack while his own army was still on a weak footing, but now he was waiting for him to get into position. Why? You must know that when the two armies are facing each other, there is a huge disparity in strength. The only way the weaker side can stand a chance is to equip an ambush with extraordinary equipment.
Just now Brother Shu Pingjing's army was deployed in formation, and the scouts were not idle either. They spied around and reported back. It was already certain that there was no ambush within a hundred miles, and the situation became strange.
Ge Shu Pingjing never believes that there are still fools who believe in the gentleman's tactics of the Spring and Autumn Period at this time. The opponent can train five thousand people as if they were one person. He should be a famous general who is proficient in the army. He can observe his lineup and recognize the flags. How can Ge Shu Pingjing?
I can't even remember that An Lushan had such a number one person. There must be fraud involved.
The two armies faced each other, and another moment passed.
Although the troops in Tongguan were neat and tidy, some of the weak ones in the formation were swaying slightly, and it was obvious that their physical strength was a little weak. Brother Shu Pingjing knew that he could not wait any longer. If he waited any longer, the strength of his soldiers would become more and more depleted. But he
He has a wolf-like nature, and ten years of killing have given him a wolf-like acumen. Ge Shu Pingjing was instinctively afraid of the small black sedan chair under the banner of the Central Army of the Northern Army.
But we can't wait any longer, and we should resort to extraordinary measures in emergencies. Brother Shu Pingjing gritted his teeth, took out a wax pill the size of a pigeon egg from his arms, crushed it and swallowed it raw. As soon as the pill entered his abdomen, Brother Shu Pingjing's nose
When he was neutral, he sprayed out two jets of light black smoke, and the bones all over his body creaked. His already very tall body actually grew several feet taller! He took out another pill of elixir and fed it to his beloved horse, so the Dawan black horse also
As he grew older, his temperament became even more violent, and he could not stop digging at the ground. If his brother Shu Pingjing hadn't held him back, he would have charged into battle with all his strength.
More than a hundred personal guards behind Ge Shu Pingjing also took out the elixir and drank it. Everyone grew a little taller and filled with murderous intent!
Geshu Pingjing Tieshuo waved, and more than a thousand horsemen on each wing came out of the formation, outflanking Ji Ruochen's army from a distance. Geshu Pingjing Tieshuo raised his hand again, and the three thousand archers shouted in unison, crossing the shield.
The men with swords and axes rushed towards Ji Ruochen's main formation. They wanted to attack the enemy with arrows first and disrupt the opponent's army.
Unexpectedly, they were still dozens of steps away from the shooting range. A hail of arrows from Ji Ruochen's army came flying like the wind. A thousand demon soldiers from the Northern Army held hard bows that were far superior to the Tongguan archers. Arrows shot out like rain, and in the blink of an eye, they
Shoot down the Tongguan archers one by one!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ge Shu Pingjing pointed his finger diagonally at Tieshuo, so the horns blared and the war drums thundered. Rows of infantry shouted war trumpets and stepped forward, starting to attack Ji Ruochen's army with all their strength. At this time, they had already circled the flanks.
Two thousand rangers also drew their sabers and spears, attacking from the side and rear!
Geshu Pingjing stood on his horse with a hundred personal guards, motionless. More than a hundred wolf-like eyes stared at the Northern army formation. As long as the opponent showed a trace of chaos, they would pierce through the Chinese army with thunderous momentum.
Kill the enemy under the commander's flag!
In the sedan chair, Ji Ruochen also praised: "What a great general."
The jade boy beside the sedan looked at the big man like an iron tower, his eyes sparkling, and continued: "You are really brave and resourceful. Although you attack the weak with the strong, you don't underestimate the enemy at all. He takes pills before the battle to increase his combat power. And after that
There are quite a few monks in the army, and it seems that we are not the only ones who use monks to boost the military strength."
Ji Ruochen said calmly: "If we don't do it thoroughly, it will be useless. Yutong, go kill those monks."
The jade boy's eyes were rippling, as if water was dripping from his eyes, he softly responded, and his curling figure disappeared on the spot.
The two armies were less than one mile apart, and the Tongguan soldiers were rushing into the formation with all their strength. A thousand archers in Ji Ruochen's army were shooting out arrows like rain. These archers were incredibly fast. They opened the bow, leaned on the string, and shot the arrow in one go.
They almost caught the arrows in front of them, more than twice as many as ordinary archers, and each of the thirty sharp arrows in the pot had been shot out in an instant.
The two armies have handed over with a bang! A thousand sergeants in front of Ji Ruochen's formation each hold heavy shields and steel knives, and their movements are uniform, pushing the shield, swinging the knife, pushing the shield, and swinging the knife. Every time the sword light falls, the limbs fly horizontally and the blood is flowing!
The archers who had shot all their arrows picked up the short spears at their feet, jumped up high behind the soldiers in the front row, and stabbed to death one by one the Tongguan soldiers who were locked in a stalemate with the Northern Army's sword and shield bearers.
Brother Shu Pingjing's eyes became sharper and sharper. When he saw that his athletes often had to chop and stab a Northern soldier more than ten times before he could bring down a Northern soldier, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.
However, they were outnumbered after all, and Tongguan's elite soldiers were not comparable to Jinzhou's weak army. After a bloody battle, the three thousand soldiers of Ji Ruochen's front army began to fall to the ground seriously one by one, and were immediately hacked to death by Tongguan's elite soldiers. At the critical moment, Ji Ruochen
The rear army was suddenly in chaos. It turned out that the two thousand rangers had completed the outflanking and began to attack the rear array.
At this moment! Brother Shu Pingjing's eyes flashed, he shouted loudly, mobilized his war horses, led a hundred personal guards, and came rolling in with the force of wind and thunder!
With a roar, Geshu Pingjing's iron beam was like lightning, piercing through the two demon soldiers of the Northern Army. Then he swung back and threw the two demon soldiers far away to the back of the formation. The soldiers from Tongguan swarmed up and threw the two demon soldiers away.
The two demon soldiers who were still struggling were cut into dozens of pieces.
These demon soldiers, who had been refined and solidified by Taoist spells and had iron muscles and bronze skin, were as weak as paper before Geshu Pingjing Tieshuo!
However, Ji Ruochen's demon soldiers didn't know what death was. Seeing how powerful his brother Shu Pingjing was, they killed him one after another regardless of their own safety. Even if they were pierced by Tieshuo and their chests were trampled by Dawan Black Horse, they would still stab the horses with their claws.
Grab a handful on your leg, and if you can't tear off the skin, you'll have to tear off a tuft of hair!
Within a short time, the demon soldiers of the Northern Army had suffered heavy casualties, and the situation of the Tongguan defenders was not easy. Brother Shu Pingjing was blocked ten feet away from the black soft sedan. Although he was not injured, his beloved horse was already dead.
There were many scars, and the hundreds of personal guards who had taken the elixir were all injured, and more than ten horses were knocked down.
In the ten feet of land between Ge Shu Pingjing and Ji Ruochen, there were only four to five hundred demon soldiers. Ge Shu Pingjing had already gone crazy with murder, and Tie Shuo Rufei disemboweled each demon soldier step by step.
Come to the soft sedan!
In the rear army of Tongguan, several monks dressed as ordinary sergeants have set up formations at the opening of the altar. Dozens of small flags of various colors are planted on the ground, and they don't know what powerful spells they are going to cast. Ge Shu Pingjing left a thousand rear troops to guard these
Monk. In fact, with the power of the monk's Taoism, we still don't know who is protecting whom.
The six monks gathered in a circle, chanting mantras and reciting the Dharma. Just as the last mantra was being recited, the six monks suddenly had strange expressions on their faces, and all the mantras they held were interrupted! Only a red dot appeared on each of the six people's eyebrows.
, a section of black hair appears and is immediately closed.
The graceful figure of the jade boy quietly emerged from the unfinished formation, and she took back the six black hairs, with a drop of blood hanging from the tips of the green hairs. She carefully licked the blood drops on the black hairs, and a strange bright red appeared on the jade surface.
, exceptionally charming.
Geshu had already killed all the monks in Pingjing's army, and Yutong seemed to have nothing to do. Should that be the end of it? Of course Yutong refused. With her phoenix eyes, she took aim at the thousands of strong rear troops around her.
So the limbs flew around, the blood rain emptied out, and the hot blood filled with popularity kept pouring on Yutong's face and body.
In the midst of the chaos, the voice coming from the ink-colored soft sedan remained calm and calm: "There are still two thousand cavalry in the rear, can we deal with them?"
Under the banner of the Central Military Commander, stood an ordinary general, surrounded by a faint black mist, making it difficult to see his true appearance. After hearing Ji Ruochen's inquiry, the general replied: "The five hundred cavalry under the general's command are enough to kill them all."
"His tone was flat, and when he talked about the two thousand elite cavalry, it was like he was talking about a pile of clay sculptures that would break when touched.
"Then go and clean them up."
The general turned around and made a gesture, so the five hundred cavalrymen who had not moved in the center turned around and silently faced the two thousand cavalrymen who were charging back and forth in the rear army. The general, on the other hand, held the horse and still stood there.
Ji Ruochen stood behind the sedan without even glancing at the rear formation.
While the fierce battle was going on, Brother Shu Pingjing suddenly felt that the pressure in front was much lighter. He was overjoyed. He drove his mount, and the black horse of Dawan neighed with its neck. After a few leaps, he rushed to the front of the black soft sedan! Brother Shu Pingjing worked hard for his whole life.
With such force, a layer of black flames appeared on Tie Shuo, and he stabbed towards the soft sedan with great force!
At this moment, a murderous aura suddenly rose from behind Baizhang!
Brother Shu Pingjing's heart froze. He knew that he shouldn't be distracted at this time, but he still looked back uncontrollably. He saw the chaos behind the Tongguan army formation, and a young man in rough clothes riding a thin and inferior horse was breaking through the formation to kill!
The young man had a plain appearance, and he held an iron spear eight feet long. When he swung it, the shadow of the spear was like a mountain, and there were bursts of wind and thunder, and thunder, fire, and lightning were shot out from the spear body from time to time. Everyone in his path was turned upside down, and no one was his enemy!
Brother Shu Pingjing was shocked. He knew at a glance that even he was not the enemy of this young man. The top priority was to kill the commander of the Northern Army first, disrupt the morale of the enemy army, and then use Xu Tu as a back-up plan. At that moment, he strengthened his arms and strengthened his iron
The black flames on Shuoshang are even more intense!
But the momentum of the storm suddenly stopped! Brother Shu Pingjing was shocked when he saw a general with a black aura standing in front of the dark sedan, holding Tie Shuo upright.
Shuo Feng! This general is of ordinary stature, but has infinite strength. Brother Ren, Shu Pingjing, is the bravest champion of the three armies and has infinite strength. He even took pills to help him, but he couldn't make Tie Shuo advance any further!
The general was holding a five-foot-long sword, and the blade was burning with a faint blue flame. In the horrified eyes of Yu Geshu Pingjing, he suddenly raised the sword, cut off the moon with one sword, killed the horse with two swords, and decapitated the owl with three swords!
After beheading his brother Shu Pingjing, he seemed to have done a trivial thing. He knelt in front of the sedan chair and said in a deep voice: "The battle situation has been decided. What other orders does the general have?"
"That's enough, go and guard the Cangye headquarters, don't let Gui Che take advantage of the chaos."
The general responded and turned into a burst of green smoke, which slowly dispersed. Behind the army formation, the five hundred cavalry also turned into smoke and went away, while the two thousand fine cavalry in Tongguan were already littered with corpses.
The commander died immediately, and the remnants of Tongguan soldiers were finally defeated. However, they were exhausted from the long battle. How could they escape from the hands of those tireless demon soldiers? The smart ones surrendered immediately, while those who escaped were caught up and hacked to death one by one. No matter where they were hiding, these
The demon soldiers always have a way to find them.
As dusk approaches, the battle is decided.
Except for the more than 4,000 soldiers who surrendered in front of the formation, all of the 20,000 elite troops in Tongguan were killed in the battle. Nearly half of the 5,000 demon soldiers under Ji Ruochen's command were also lost.
A young man in civilian clothes rode up, rode his horse until he was in front of the sedan, then turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Sun Guo is late, please forgive me!"
Ji Ruochen sighed softly and said: "It is a rare good thing that you can find a secular fate. How can I blame you? It is not easy to get a fate, and it is even harder to give up a fate. If you want to find a fate, it depends on fate.
"
At this time, Yutong was covered in blood and had returned to the sedan chair. He asked what his next plan was and where to camp.
Ji Ruochen opened the curtain of the sedan chair, looked at the battlefield filled with corpses, and said: "Set up camp here. You have worked hard during the bloody battle during the day, and I will personally greet the guests tonight."
After hearing this, Yutong shuddered involuntarily and secretly stuck out his tongue to Sun Guo.
Chapter completed!
