Hua Rong fled into the camp and just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard loud shouts of exclamation behind him. When he hurriedly looked back, he saw the thief rushing toward the camp gate with a long iron rope. .
Hua Rong was shocked and shouted hurriedly: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!"
In fact, without his reminding, all the soldiers had already covered it with the rain of arrows.
But the thief ignored the rain of arrows and just kept charging forward.
When the sharp arrow fell on him, it made a clanging sound without any harm at all.
Not only cannot others be hurt, but even the horse under his crotch cannot be hurt.
The horse was tall and majestic, and it was covered with a vest. It didn't feel any exertion at all. It was like a rhinoceros, running rampantly. Anyone who had the misfortune to block its path would directly trample over with one hoof.
Sure enough, the horse is like the kind of owner it is!
This horse was already well trained in Lu Junyi's hands and was very tame, but within a few months of being in Li Gui's hands, it became like a wild horse again.
But it was Li Gui who tried to throw a ray of red luck on the horse after Gao Lian let him off the horse last time. He had never gone into battle before and did not show it. Now when they were fighting, he began to digest it and became very angry. Fierce.
Li Gui was overjoyed when he saw this, and made up his mind to find one hundred and eighty wives for him, so that he could improve the breed of Liangshan's next generation of military horses.
A stone's throw may seem far away, but it's only about two hundred meters. Li Gui's horse is so fast that this short distance can be reached in an instant.
Arriving near the door, Li Gui swung the iron rope in his hand, and the meteor hammer hanging in front of the rope smashed the sentry towers on both sides of the door into pieces. The sentinels above screamed, and half of their bodies were turned into powder. , and went to the Palace of Hell to report on the spot.
Li Gui withdrew the meteor hammer and the horse also arrived in front of the gate. He lightly lifted the reins of the horse with one hand. The horse immediately understood its owner's intention and immediately stood up. With two front hooves, it stepped hard against the gate.
The gates of this Chinese army are all temporary. They are just two pillars buried in the ground on the left and right, and then a door-like thing is made out of bamboo or wood, which is fixed on the pillars on both sides. It can be used to block arrows or lean on it. The defense can block ordinary thieves, but it can never withstand heavy blows.
After being stepped hard by the giant horse at high speed, the door collapsed, and dust and smoke flew everywhere.
The soldiers behind the door didn't have the slightest desire to resist, so they turned around and ran away.
Li Gui reined in his horse and stood still, looking around and looking for Hua Rong, but the army was already bombed and there were people running wildly everywhere. Where could he find Hua Rong?
"Thief!"
"What a waste!"
Li Gui cursed, swung up the iron rope again, and rushed towards the back of the army like a whirlwind.
This iron rope was two feet long. When it was swung open, it was a moving flesh and blood mill. Wherever it passed, whether it was a tent, a carriage, or a horse, everything it touched would be torn to pieces.
Li Gui was riding on a horse, and the iron rope was very high from the ground. Anyone who dropped his weapons and knelt down to surrender saved his life.
But the one who turned around and ran away was hit by the huge meteor hammer head and the iron rope behind it. If it touched his head, his head would be shattered, and if it touched his body, his body would be shattered.
The soldier whose head was smashed was like wheat being harvested in the field. His body continued to run forward three or five steps before falling to the ground.
Half of the upper body was missing, and it was either knocked away altogether, or only two legs were left twitching on the ground.
The killing efficiency of this weapon is much faster than that of an axe.
In an instant, dead bodies were everywhere, and blood sprayed all over the sky like a fountain, as if a drizzle had fallen on the camp.
Dong Ping was sitting upright in the central military tent. Just when he heard the news from the front, Hua Rong's arrows fired with power and shot several enemy generals in a row. He was enjoying himself. The next moment, he heard a loud explosion and loud noises in front of him.
He frowned, and just as he was about to send someone to investigate, he saw Hua Rong rushing in on horseback in panic, shouting:
"What a disaster!"
"Then Li Gui has entered the camp!"
Dong Ping was furious. He raised his two spears and went forward to capture the thieves. But as soon as he left the tent, countless broken soldiers came in front and swept him in like a tide.
"Anyone who dares to disrupt our army will be killed!"
Dong Ping shouted and killed several people in succession, trying to save the situation.
But the military tactics that usually kept his men silent were useless at this time. There were too many defeated troops behind them, and even if those in front wanted to stop, they would be pushed up by those behind.
Even Dong Ping was a fierce general, and he couldn't use it at all in this situation. In the end, seeing that the situation was completely out of control, he had no choice but to go with the flow and escape.
Li Gui followed behind like a tiger chasing a sheep, chasing him all the way from the bottom of Liangshan Mountain, and drove him for more than ten miles before stopping.
Those soldiers were not fools. When they saw someone kneeling down and surrendering without dying, they imitated the example. They dropped their weapons one after another, lay down in the fields, and surrendered as well.
Li Gui chased the defeated army in front, and the Liangshan generals chased Li Gui from behind.
At first, they were worried that Li Gui's brother would make a mistake while riding alone, so they sent their troops to kill him, intending to provide Li Gui with a cover.
Their mounts had all been shot to death by Hua Rong, and they could not catch up. They saw Li Gui breaking through the Chinese army camp from a distance, rushing in and killing everyone in the camp. Only then did they know that Li Gui If my brother hadn't let them go, he would have destroyed the army's bird camp long ago!
"Brother is indeed brave and invincible!"
Lin Chong and others sighed, and then led the army to come up to fight.
But when they entered the camp, what they saw was that besides corpses everywhere and rivers of blood, there were a group of surrendered soldiers lying on the ground with their buttocks raised high, waiting to be collected.
When he looked further into the distance, he could only vaguely see the back of Li Gui, who was riding a thousand horses. He watched Li Gui riding alone, chasing the defeated troops far away.
They were all infantry now and could not catch up, so they had to move slowly behind, gathering the surrendered soldiers, and then collected and transported away all the food, grass and baggage in Dong Ping's camp.
By the time Li Gui returned after all his excitement, the battlefield here had been cleaned up.
But it was said that Dong Ping's army collapsed and fled in embarrassment until it was defeated and retreated to the state city.
The eunuch Cheng Wanli originally sat quietly in the city, singing poems and writings every day, eating and drinking when necessary, and paid no attention to the war outside.
Fighting on the battlefield is originally done by rough people. He is a dignified scholar and a hero in front of Donghua Gate. Why should he care about these trivial things?
Now that he saw Dong Ping and others retreating in defeat, he stopped the banquet, sent someone to call Dong Ping over, and complained:
"When we set out for the expedition that day, I wanted to mobilize the troops and horses from the capital to come for reinforcements. You boasted and boasted that you were rare in the sky and nothing on the earth, so I gave up my idea."
"The imperial court has given you so much power, and I support you in every possible way. But this is how you repay my trust?"
"Now it seems that you are no more than mediocre and useless!"
"You will hand over the tiger talisman to the general, and I will choose another capable person to take over."
Dong Ping had originally been interested in Cheng Wanli's daughter, and planned to propose marriage while he had accomplished great feats. Now that he was defeated and devastated, and was scolded and scolded by Cheng Wanli, he was so angry that he couldn't control it.
He didn't want to lose military power, so he coaxed:
"The master of the palace has an order, how dare you disobey it?"
"It's just that it's hard to find a suitable replacement overnight, and the Liangshan bandits will come and kill them within ten days. Then the army will be leaderless, but so what?"
Cheng Wanli was a civil servant who knew nothing about the art of war. Being frightened by Dong Ping, he panicked and asked:
"The city of Dongping Prefecture is deep and deep. Those thieves are just grass bandits. How dare they attack the city?"
Dong Ping said: "That guy can even stab you, what else can you not dare to do?"
Cheng Wanli was frightened by this and did not dare to seize his military power. Instead, he came to appease him and promised that as long as he captured Li Gui, he would betroth his daughter to him.
Dong Ping had dealt with him a lot and no longer believed in his paintings. Fortunately, he retained military power, which was not a loss.
At that moment, Dong Ping hesitated a few more words, said goodbye and left the house, feeling unhappy and thinking only about the young lady of the Cheng family.
