Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of drums sounded, dull and penetrating, resounding throughout the whole place and penetrating people's hearts, indicating that a killing spree was about to begin. The army was advancing on the battlefield, and there were many flags covering the sky and the sun, and they were densely packed.
The sky was dark, dark clouds covered the sky, casting large shadows, and the two military formations were getting closer and closer.
"Tap, step, step, step"
The armored soldier's footsteps hit the ground hard, throwing up dust and adding murderous intent.
One hundred steps!
Ninety steps!
Seventy steps!
As both sides approach, both sides can gradually see the ferocious faces of the people on the opposite side, ferocious or fearful, resolute or crazy, with armor on their bodies and spears in their hands. This is the battlefield, the graveyard of the brave and the cowardly. , no one can escape.
Ten steps!
"Kill!" Without any more words, the two steel torrents collided together like meat grinders, and the soldiers stabbed them with knives or spears.
No one could retreat. The people behind them crowded forward, and the people in front fell down. The people behind pushed forward again, with blood splattered on their faces, knives, spears, and corpses piled on the ground.
The shouts and screams were more like the sounds of weapons cutting throats and piercing flesh, just like fingernails scratching across a blackboard, swallowing people's lives bit by bit, and when they spit them out, they turned into A lump of minced meat.
The battlefield is like a meat grinder, killing all the lives in it.
King Lu stood high up, watching the killing, his eyes unwavering.
The armored soldiers rushed forward, not afraid of death. It was just the beginning of the battle. They rushed in, stabbing and stabbing. Some people kept falling and others kept filling in. What they fought in the staggered battle was their will and strength, until all the enemies in front of them were dead. .
However, as soon as the battle started, the vanguard had already overwhelmed the imperial army in front of them. As time went by, the advantage increased little by little. Watching this battle, King Lu couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face.
After a while, the advantage was even greater. King Lu seemed to hear someone saying: "Now you can charge and kill. You are the one destined to win."
King Lu couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Why do I have this idea?"
He just didn't hesitate and said to the general beside him: "Prepare the cavalry to charge."
"Yes" the general immediately ordered, waved the flag, and the drum beat changed. The cavalry on both sides of King Lu were originally waiting. With the drum beat, these cavalry were seen running out in an instant.
"Drive, drive, drive" hundreds of cavalry flew out, bypassing the main formation like a torrent of steel, preparing to attack the flanks. As King Lu's cavalry rushed out, the imperial military flag also sounded, and the same cavalry galloped.
"kill!"
There were no words, only one facing each other. The two sides were fighting together. The two rushing streams collided, cutting and slashing at each other. In an instant, dozens of people turned into a pile of lifeless flesh and blood.
Suddenly, a black cavalry led the team to rush out, and a hurricane blew through. Every step forward wiped out a group of enemy soldiers, killing dozens of people in a short period of time. The cavalrymen were refreshed for a while, and they gathered around him and followed him. A long cone-shaped formation was formed, piercing the originally stalemate battle formation.
King Lu could see clearly that this would not be a rigid confrontation, but a constant adjustment within a subtle distance, leading troops to rush left and right, and the sharp attack would be on the weak points of the enemy's formation.
The enemy cavalry's small formations, which had been advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, collapsed one after another. Although it was not without cost, with each breakthrough, some people fell from the sharp cone formation, but more people were added to it.
In just a moment, the imperial army collapsed and spread. Although they were cavalry, they had already instinctively dodged. In this panic, the general shouted loudly and rushed into the enemy's formation. He tore the imperial army apart and smashed it into two pieces. .
"Kill!" The general of the imperial cavalry was also a decisive person. He led his troops to charge forward and was about to block it. The black armor did not hesitate and crashed in within a few breaths. The light of the sword struck and scattered broken limbs. The soldiers were immediately torn apart, and then the two generals staggered.
The general of the imperial court was instantly injured and screamed. The black armor did not stop and struck back with a knife.
"Poof" a human head flew out, blood spurted out, and the headless body fell from the horse and fell to the ground. The black armor shouted: "The one who kills the general is Li Hengyuan."
"Kill the general, Li Hengyuan is in charge." The surrounding cavalry shouted, and the imperial cavalry was in chaos. Li Hengyuan smiled ferociously, and led his cavalry to charge forward again. Wherever he went, the snow melted, and he was defeated quickly.
On the high platform, King Lu listened to these words and smiled: "You are a really fierce general who can kill a general with a formation, but I remember that Li Hengyuan is the leader of the team."
Eunuch Liao apologized and said with a smile: "My lord, have you forgotten? Li Hengyuan broke through the city last time and achieved great success, but now he is in full swing."
Listening to Eunuch Liao's words, King Lu nodded and showed a hint of joy: "So that's it. This man is brave and can be promoted to the second level."
"Yes!" A clerk immediately wrote it down.
Seeing the imperial cavalry being defeated so quickly, Xie Chengdong couldn't help but have a smile on his face: "This is a great blessing for the prince. Since the war, warriors have been effective many times. If the imperial cavalry is defeated, our army can directly penetrate the flanks and make them all If the army collapses, this battle will be won."
Although he said this, Xie Chengdong felt a chill in his heart.
This is not the first time. Since the beginning of the battle, seven or eight such people have stood out. It is natural for warriors to appear on the battlefield, but it is terrifying to be so fast and dense. Could it be that this is the number of days
"Haha" King Lu also laughed when he heard Xie Chengdong's praise, feeling proud in his heart. Eunuch Liao was also full of joy: "Your Majesty is truly blessed."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the cavalry smashing through the enemy formation. The sound of horse hooves came rolling in, attacking the flank instantly, and crashing into the enemy formation in a few breaths. The cavalry was invincible against the infantry. There were only screams of killing and wailing, and the resistance was cut. Open, the enemy's position suddenly turned sharply downward.
"Kill!" Feeling the shake and confusion, the cavalry tore along the incision, and the Sixth Battalion of the Imperial Court was instantly in chaos. Li Hengyuan was not satisfied and continued to drive away the enemy's infantry.
"Behead the sixth battalion." After a moment, there was another loud shout, and someone from the imperial army also shouted: "No, no, no, the troops are retreating and counterattacking the central army!"
"The enemy is in chaos." King Lu was sitting on a high place, watching the imperial army in chaos, and ordered the last one to ride: "You guys go up and kill them!"
"Yes!" Following the order, five hundred of the horsemen who were following him rushed out, shouting: "The prince is imprisoning his father, we are in the service of heaven, surrender and avoid death!"
Anyone who was dissatisfied immediately rushed forward. When the long knife was struck, screams continued and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
"Those who disobey will be killed!"
"Those who kneel and surrender will avoid death!"
At this time, the enemy infantry collapsed. When charged by the cavalry, some people immediately threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender. The cavalry themselves were well-trained. When they saw someone surrendering, they killed him if they refused. Finally, the imperial army could no longer hold on. Suddenly, groups of people fell to their knees and shouted: "We are waiting to surrender!"
"We will surrender!" Gradually more and more people surrendered and dropped the weapons in their hands. Seeing this, it snowballed. Among the generals behind, a general stepped forward and knelt down: "Master Gao, if we lose this battle, we still have to surrender." Stay out of the way for now, and then try to make a comeback!"
"This..." Gao Yunjia seemed to be hesitant. He looked at the battlefield and saw that the front formation was irreversibly broken, but the current formation could still retreat slowly and retain some strength. However, the sky was dim and a cold wind passed by, blowing the nearby flags. There was a clanking sound, he suddenly smiled and said slowly: "Actually, this battle is beyond my expectation."
"Both of us have no big mistakes in their military tactics. But the bravery and morale of King Lu's army is better than ours. This is strange. I am the orthodox!"
"How come these Lu troops have such high morale and bravery?"
"Is destiny really in Lu?"
The last sentence was in his mind. Gao Yunjia was still confused. The entire front line collapsed. The soldiers were howling and crying to leave the battlefield, or to kneel down on the spot. This general was anxious and knelt down a few steps forward: "Master Gao, now is not the time to review this. , it’s not too late to retreat to the county seat and then tell the difference!”
Gao Yunjia nodded: "That's right!"
Just as he finished speaking, the sword flashed, and a head flew out, bringing with it a rain of blood. The head fell to the ground and rolled a few times, showing a look of doubt and unwillingness. It seemed that he didn't understand why the general killed him, but he listened. Gao Yunjia said: "Our army has tried its best to surrender to King Lu."
"Traitor!" The eyes of this head were about to burst, but the vision went dark, and he no longer knew.
"Gao Yunjia has surrendered?" When he heard the news from the high platform, King Lu was surprised and happy. Although the battle was won, the enemy's main formation was not defeated and could still retreat. Why did he surrender
Just as he was puzzled, Eunuch Liao said: "Gao Yunjia was originally a subordinate of Dujiang Marquis Fang Keqin. Dujiang Marquis Fang Keqin was deprived of military power last time and even his title was reduced to uncle. Is there such a reason?"
"But in the battle with our army just now, there was no letting go." King Lu was still a little confused.
"Your Majesty, if our army cannot defeat him, he will naturally not surrender to me. If we are defeated, it proves the strength of the prince, and he may surrender and gain the hereditary title of my wife's shadow."
"Besides, this general is also part of the purge. Although he won't be able to turn for a while, Dujiang Marquis Fang Keqin has collapsed, so he is not far away. If he loses the battle again, he is afraid that he will be imprisoned immediately when he returns. It is reasonable for him to have this intention. Among them." Xie Chengdong smiled.
King Lu nodded and still wanted to speak, when he saw several horses rushing towards him. It was Gao Yunjia who came with only a few soldiers to beg for surrender. He immediately had no doubts anymore and went to welcome him. When he saw Gao Yunjia got off his horse and lost his sword, he wanted to apologize. , quickly supported him: "The general follows his father Long Xing and is a veteran general of this dynasty. Now that his father is imprisoned, it is a blessing for the world and all people that the general can turn from darkness to light and find his way back."
King Lu seemed to be dedicated to the public good, and an uninformed person would be extremely moved. However, Gao Yunjia thought to himself: "Nonsense, I received the emperor's order yesterday."
But I couldn't say this, so I kowtowed in praise and shouted: "I don't know the truth and serve the traitor of my imprisoned father. I am really guilty. Now that I have finally met the prince, I will surely dedicate myself to the prince." "
These naked words made King Lu laugh. What he wanted was the general's direct surrender: "With the general here, I have a slight chance of winning."
At this moment, a horseman rushed up and shouted: "General Han has pacified Qinzhou and sent 20,000 troops to support the prince. They will arrive soon."
