It is impossible for Gaoli Imperial Guard to stop at Hulao Pass.
After resting for a day and night, we eagerly descended the mountain.
The armored men with axes were in front, and the spears, swords and shields were behind. Before the fight started, ghosts and wolves all over the mountains and plains began to howl to build momentum.
Liang Du attacked the city and territory all the way, without much ingenuity and ingenuity, and all he did was to attack from the front.
With the ferocity of the Gaoli Imperial Guards and the blessing of the will to revenge, they are invincible along the way. There are indeed not many armies in the world who can fight head-on.
However, something is different today.
A cavalry force of a thousand people was waiting for them at the foot of the mountain, with thousands of cavalry behind them.
Hundreds of blood-red flags fluttered in the cold wind.
The first general, with a long halberd in his left hand, a two-edged spear in his right hand, black armor as ferocious as a beast, and a tall blood-red war horse on his hip, faced the thousands of troops of Gaoli's imperial guards.
The name of this horse is Zhu Long. It is said that during the Battle of Xin'an that day, Shi Min was trapped in a tight siege and could not escape until he fought to the death. All his guards around him were killed. At the critical moment, he saw a cavalry general coming on horseback, killed him and captured it, so he stood out. During the siege, Shi Min personally named "Zhu Long"!
There were more than a thousand cavalrymen behind them, all with two horses. They looked at the rolling Gaoli Imperial Guards with no fear in their eyes.
Li Yue followed with 6,000 cavalry. To the north, the Yellow River was majestic, and the war drums on both sides were already roaring, slowly merging with the same rhythm.
The strong wind brought a chill to my face, which stimulated the blood in my chest to surge.
Driving out the Jie slaves starts today.
There are at least 40,000 Jie people in the rebel army.
Killing one more person is to avenge the dead souls in this land, and to wash away the shame of the fifty years since the Yongjia Rebellion!
Looking back at the cavalrymen behind them, they all looked full of fighting spirit.
The blood-red flags fluttered violently in the wind, as if burning, and blazing hatred seemed to burst out of their eyes.
In the camp behind, countless pairs of eyes were watching the battle.
Li Nong stretched his tired body and looked to the west, "Shizhao, can you win this battle?"
Chang Wei said: "This battle must be won!"
"Oh? Why are you so impressed by these two?" Li Nong suffered a series of defeats and lost his confidence.
"Does Sikong remember the defeat of Jicheng that year? His Majesty's hundreds of thousands of troops encountered Murong Ke and fled in the face of the wind. More than 30,000 troops were killed in the formation. All the troops were defeated. Only Xiucheng Hou returned with his entire army!"
How could Li Nong forget this battle?
The defeat of Jicheng was a turning point in the rise and fall of Jie Zhao, and the luck of the Jie people was also shattered in this battle.
Seeing that Li Nong looked wrong, Chang Wei cupped his hands and said, "Wei made a mistake. I hope Sikong can forgive me."
Li Nong said: "Not guilty, continue talking."
"The greatest prosperity will inevitably come to an end. The bandit army has attacked thousands of miles, defeated Chang'an, and fallen into Luoyang. The old soldiers of the division are exhausted and have reached the end of their powerful crossbows. Marquis Xiucheng is brave and invincible, and his spirit is unparalleled. Leader Li is a good general for a while, and there will be good news to return."
"One is a good general, so who is the other?" Li Nong's eyes flickered.
His ability on the battlefield is mediocre, but he has been in a high position for so many years and has a keen sense of power struggle.
Chang Wei said meaningfully: "What it is depends on Sikong."
Li Nong remained silent, and he could naturally understand the meaning behind these words.
Shi Min's intention to approach the begging army is self-evident...
On the battlefield, Gaoli Imperial Guards were already pouring down like a tide, flying sand and rocks slowly gathering on the plain.
Shi Min remained motionless, a wisp of flying sand rolled up under the horse's hooves and scattered again.
The cold wind roared, and the blue clouds and the Yellow River flowed to the southeast, blocking the sun, making it look slightly dull, and a chilling atmosphere filled the sky and the earth.
The bandit army gathered nearly ten thousand people on the ground at the foot of the mountain. They ignored Shi Min and Li Yue who were waiting in formation. They held their big axes and roared towards the east like wild beasts.
After the roar, dozens of arrows pierced the gloomy sky.
He fell under the hooves of Shi Min's horse in front of the formation.
At this moment, Shi Min looked behind him, his eyes passed through the soldiers and fell on Li Yue.
Strangely enough, from a distance of four to five hundred steps, Li Yue couldn't see clearly, but he could feel the deep meaning behind this gaze.
A dead branch was picked up by the strong wind at some point and slowly fell between the two armies.
The war drums on both sides were beating loudly at the same time.
"Kill back to Yedu!" The other side roared twice, and then ran wildly. There was no array, no flags, only thousands of axes and thousands of spears, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
It was as if thousands of beasts had broken free from their cages, and the momentum was extremely frightening.
However, Shi Min's thousand horsemen were unusually silent until Shi Min raised his double-edged spear and swung it forward, and more than eight thousand horse hooves slowly hit the ground like raindrops.
Looking from the rear formation, it seemed as if a black spear was piercing directly...
Impact, constant impact.
Double-edged spears and halberds were thrust out one after another, creating waves of blood. The enemy's corpse was torn to pieces under the horses' hooves and spears.
A thousand cavalrymen just crashed into the enemy army without any fancy.
No, Li Yue felt that there were not a thousand cavalry on the battlefield, only one person!
The thousand people turned into one person.
He roamed freely among the axes and spears, charging and killing at will, and blazing a bloody path among thousands of troops.
Severed limbs and heads flew up under his spear, and blood rushed into the sky, blown away by the strong wind, and sprinkled among the crowd, as if there was a bloody rain.
The Gaoli Imperial Guards are known for their ferocity and bravery, but they never expected that there would be someone more ferocious and tough than them today.
The enemy was caught off guard and was quickly penetrated. The arrogant Gaoli Guards seemed to have received a slap in the face. They were a little dazed and at a loss. Some continued to rush forward, while others turned around to chase the cavalry...
The battlefield suddenly became a little chaotic.
"Attack!" The cold wind was still whistling in his ears, and Li Yue's blood was already boiling.
The six thousand cavalrymen slowly moved forward, forming a fish scale formation and advancing forward.
At the same time, Shi Min's cavalry turned around again after drawing an arc, lashing out at the enemy like a long black whip.
Screams resounded throughout the sky.
Hundreds of Jie people were trampled under the hooves of horses, wailing, and slaughtered like pigs and dogs.
When they meet on a narrow road, the cavalry has an advantage over the infantry.
However, after all, the Gaoli Guards had experienced hundreds of battles and did not collapse under the crazy attack of the cavalry. Some people quickly reacted and set up their spears. The axemen retreated to the middle, took out their bows and arrows from behind, and aimed at the oncoming cavalry. .
Sixty or seventy war horses fell down in mourning, tripping dozens of horsemen, and were trampled into a pulp together with the cavalrymen.
Everyone in the Gaoli Imperial Guard is good at shooting and has rich experience. They do not shoot armored cavalry, but specialize in shooting war horses with larger targets.
If an arrow hits, the galloping horse will fall down.
The advantage of the cavalry continued to weaken, casualties became heavier, and some cavalry voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.
Shi Min could only turn his horse's head, retreat from the battlefield, and run towards the high slope to the south.
Although the cavalry is fierce, it cannot quickly defeat the enemy, and its physical strength, impact power and lethality will be greatly reduced.
Suddenly, only the Gaoli Imperial Guard and the Black Cloud Army were left on the battlefield.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
The battlefield suddenly became quiet.
Countless glances came from behind, and the bandits who had closed the door were standing all over the city wall, looking at the battlefield...
