Liuzhou
Perhaps it was because of something the same in a man's bones, Shengtu also put on the emperor's dragon robe today.
When commanding battles in the past, even if he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he still liked to wear the original iron armor. Sometimes people are really contradictory creatures, he always wants to put aside everything related to Luo Yao, even his own past. However, this iron armor that has accompanied him for many years has not been abandoned by him.
Or maybe, deep in his heart, there will always be something that he doesn't want to give up.
Standing on the city wall, Shengtu's face looked extraordinarily calm. The sound of horns outside the city pierced my ears, and the imperial court troops who could not see the end rolled over in black. But at this moment, Shengtu did not choose to stick to it. Liuzhou City is too small to accommodate many soldiers. And the strength of his men was not less than that of Yang Jian, plus what he said was the dignity of a man and the dignity of an emperor, so he chose to line up outside the city.
The armies of both sides covered all the ground within the range of the real line of sight, and the khaki color of the ground could not be seen, and it was all people.
Perhaps, the key to determining the outcome of this war is not in the army that adds up to hundreds of thousands of people, but in Yang Jian and Shengtu. However, at this moment, in a sense, it is no longer a war against the rebellion by the court, but a war between countries.
Since it is a war, it has never been a matter between two people.
Especially, two ambitious men. When the decisive battle comes, these two people will not only involve millions of troops? There are also countless people whose destiny will be changed because of this war.
Whether Yang Jian or Shengtu.
They both want to beat each other.
And defeat is not just a competition between two people in terms of cultivation.
The troops of the two sides outside the city had already lined up, and the distance between them was less than two miles.
This short distance, after a while, may become a Shura field.
Shengtu did not come down from the city wall, but chose to stand on this high place to command. Behind him, a burly man holds a huge banner. There are people in each army below who are in charge of looking out, so that they can understand Shengtu's command at the first time.
"Your Majesty..."
Liu You, one of Shengtu's generals, hesitated for a while and asked, "Why don't you just send the firearm battalion up? Our firearms are powerful. When the enemy attacks later, as long as the artillery suppresses them, the imperial court will definitely be shocked. Taking advantage of the ups and downs of their army's morale to counterattack, they may be able to win in one battle."
"It's not those ants that I want to kill."
Shengtu raised his clairvoyance, and looked at the army in the middle of Yang Jian's army in the distance, which was in a square formation. That is a very special team, even if they are so far away, they can see the difference at a glance. Iron Armored Army, Yang Jian's army of unknown origin but unparalleled combat power.
"The construction of the Firearms Battalion has not reached the strength I expected. It will not be so easy to deal with Yang Jian's Iron Armored Army. The power of muskets is not enough to penetrate the heavy armor. The only thing that can make it difficult for the Iron Armored Army is the artillery. And in our hands The number of artillery pieces is not much... ”
Shengtu seemed to be talking to himself: "Pass the order, follow the battle I have arranged before, if anyone is negligent, slack, disrespects the order, and does not need Yang Jian's people to kill, I will kill him first."
"Here!"
The messenger hurriedly dispatched people to each army.
"The horn is blown!"
Liu You's expression changed involuntarily when he heard the sound of horns from the army on the opposite side. To be honest, at this moment today, if he said he was not nervous, it would be a lie. It's not just him, and it's not just the army of Shengguo. Isn't it the case with the imperial court
nervous
Some soldiers were so nervous that their hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Everyone is the same, and almost no one can guarantee peace of mind at this moment. Even for people who seem calm on the surface, who can see their true heart
"Your Majesty, the enemy really didn't use the armored army!"
Liu You held up his clairvoyance and said, "About 20,000 people came out from the left and right wings, and the enemy's central army did not move!"
"Mediocre."
The corner of Shengtu's mouth ticked upwards: "Yang Jian used troops and claimed to be unparalleled in the world, but it was nothing more than that. He was able to conquer the Central Plains at the beginning, in fact, it was just the times that made heroes. With his personal ability to lead troops, compared with Emperor Taizong Li Xiao, the great general of the year, is far behind. When he was fighting for supremacy in the world, if he hadn't relied on the power of the world under Wan Xingchen and the strong support from Tonggu Academy behind him, how could he have won so easily? The world?"
Liu You nodded and said: "A fierce attack from the two wings forced us to support the rear troops on the two wings, then entangle most of the troops, and then attack the central army with the armored army... Although this strategy is not clever, it is also flawless. .”
"Let the two wings attack, go up and fight!"
Shengtu waved his hand in order.
The burly man immediately waved the big flag, which fluttered in the wind.
outside the city
The watchman immediately conveyed Shengtu's military order, and the general commanded by the two wings drew out the horizontal knife. A general about 30 years old urged his horse to gallop in front of the battle, and shouted loudly while riding: "Life and death, honor and disgrace are all in today's battle! If you win, your tomorrow will be rich and prosperous! If you lose! There is no tomorrow! At this moment, everyone should understand that there is only forward, only forward!"
"kill!"
He pointed the horizontal knife forward, and the victorious army rushed towards the court troops who rushed over.
…
…
bloody
fist to flesh
Everyone in both armies knows that today's battle is a matter of life and death. There is a man in a dragon robe commanding on both sides, and the two sides have long been sworn enemies. Although, this hatred seems somewhat unreasonable.
Sui Junzhong
Yang Jian stood on a huge movable high platform built of wood, watching the fight that had begun in the distance with a blank expression.
"Shengtu took the initiative to attack because he was worried that the two wings would be strangled and I would not be able to draw out the flanks when I attacked his central army. It can be seen that he does not have much confidence."
Yang Jian stretched out his finger and pointed to the victorious army on the opposite side: "Pass my military order to defeat the people who came out from the two wings of the enemy army, and then drive the defeated soldiers to attack the enemy's main formation."
"Here."
The horns sounded, and the generals of the Sui Army who directed the attacking troops knew how serious Yang Jian's military orders were. If they could not complete Yang Jian's arrangements at the beginning of this battle, they might not be far from death.
"Kill them all!"
A general of the Sui army shouted loudly and rushed forward, and the armies of both sides collided fiercely like two torrents. On one side is the Sui army in black uniforms, and on the other is the victorious army in red uniforms. One black and one red, the two waves collided and immediately set off a wave of blood.
puff!
A soldier of the victorious army who rushed to the front was stabbed in the abdomen by the enemy. Because of his panic and fear, his cry was particularly shrill. In fact, before the war started, all the people standing at the front of the formation knew that they... would be the first people to fall on this land.
When Hengdao was pulled out from the lower abdomen, blood gushed out like a spring. The blood in the lower abdomen was a little bit black, and there was also a lingering stench that got into people's noses. The moment the soldier was hit by the knife, he felt the strength in his body flow away with the blood. He subconsciously wanted to seal the wound, but the blood kept overflowing from the gap between his fingers.
He didn't dare to let go, because someone told him a long time ago. If the stomach is hit by a knife, cover it immediately. It is best to tear off the clothes and strangle it tightly, otherwise once the internal organs in the stomach are squeezed out, it will be difficult to stuff them back. Cover it to prevent the internal organs from leaking out, and you still have a chance to live.
At this moment, his mind is full of these words that the veteran said to him. He immediately fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, clutching the wound tightly with his hands, because he knew that if he didn't fall to the ground and pretended to be dead, the enemies behind would slash at him one after another. The two sides are fighting each other, but in fact there is no time to fight at all. As soon as the two sides touch, it is a knife. If you kill the enemy with one knife, you will kill it.
Therefore, when the two sides are fighting, they are actually brandishing knives and rushing forward, until the troops of both sides are completely mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish each other.
There is no doubt that the soldier's first choice was correct. When he was hit by the knife, he immediately fell down, and the Sui soldier who stabbed him did not stop, but rushed to the next person. The initial charge was like this. The moment the soldiers of the two sides came into contact, they stabbed each other.
After the victorious soldier in his hand fell down, he closed his eyes and did not dare to move.
Although he was in pain from the wound, he was unavoidably grateful. If I hadn't suddenly remembered the old soldier's warning, then I might have been cloned by Chaos Dao at this moment.
But
He forgot the second sentence of the veteran.
"After falling down, the body should curl up into a ball as much as possible, keep your head, don't lie on your stomach or lie down, curl up tightly into a ball, otherwise..."
It was too late when the victorious soldiers remembered the second half of the sentence... The enemies rushing up were densely packed, how could the people behind see a person lying on the ground and avoid it immediately? The first foot stepped on him, and he immediately groaned in pain, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of being seen as faking death. The second foot, and then the third foot...
The human skull is the hardest part of the body, and it cannot be broken by feet.
However, one foot at a time, like a file, smashed the flesh off the victorious soldier's head. When he couldn't hold on and wanted to get up, how could he get up? The soles of the shoes trampled the flesh off his face, bloody and bloody, his nose was crushed, his lips were crushed off, and an eyeball was squeezed out and hung on the side of his face...
The lower abdomen he was clutching tightly had already been deflated, and the bloody and slippery intestines were piled up on the side, and they were soon trampled into mud. When the boots stepped on it, it made a sound like stepping on wet mud after rain. . Intestines protrude from under the feet like a panicking snake about to flee.
People fell one after another, and the knives were raised and lowered.
Blood is flying in the sky.
The sound of the knife breaking through the armor, the wailing and shouting of people turned into a cruel movement.
At this time, the ghost officials of the underworld may be the busiest and the happiest. They stand on both sides of the ghost gate and watch the long line of new ghosts enter the gate. Some of these new ghosts held their heads, some held their intestines, and some lost their lower bodies and dragged half of their bodies with their hands to crawl on the ground. The blood marks on the ground were so clear.
Some of these new ghosts are fellow villagers, and some are enemies.
They will not look at each other again, they are strangers.
