A horseman can separate and join, disperse and gather. He can travel for hundreds of miles and travel for thousands of miles. He can come and go without interruption, so he is called the soldier of separation and combination.
Shi Min's use of the cavalry in this way was somewhat beyond Li Yue's expectations.
As a fierce general who charges into battle, he is qualified, but as an army commander, he is much worse than the people who command the Qiang cavalry in the north.
These cavalrymen regarded death as if they were home and were loyal to him. In Li Yue's view, every death was a huge loss.
The rarest thing in the world is the human heart.
Furthermore, one cannot be called a fine rider just by riding on a horse. The casualties of more than a dozen people were already huge...
Shi Min took the lead and entered the flock, waving his halberd and double-edged spear wantonly, causing waves of blood around him.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight thieves fell to the ground.
Li Yue had no time to mourn for the dead warriors and rushed forward with his men.
The Black Cloud Cavalry used crossbows at a distance and spears at a close distance. They quickly plowed a bloody path through the bandit formation.
It stands to reason that when the cavalry rushes into the infantry formation, the infantry should flee, but the Gaoli Imperial Guard obviously cannot treat this with common sense.
Even if they were broken through, they would come to surround and kill them with their swords and shields, and they would still enjoy it even if they were knocked away by the cavalry.
However, the Black Cloud Knights are no ordinary people. They also climbed up from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain. They followed Li Yue almost every month without fighting and killing every day.
Fight with enemies, fight with beasts...
The cruel living environment sharpened their body, spirit and will.
At this time, facing mountains of swords and seas of spears, he was still accustomed to it and followed Li Yue forward to kill.
Shi Min lacked commanding ability, but he was the best in the world in martial arts.
Neither swords, spears nor arrows could hit him at all.
The Zhulong horse galloped left and right, and its neighing sound contained a bit of joy. Everyone and the horse were immersed in the pleasure of killing.
The brutal fighting caused a layer of blood mist to cover the front, and Shi Min's black armor was stained red. In the blood mist, Li Yue felt that his figure was a little blurry, suddenly far away and sometimes close.
The surrounding enemies fell one by one.
Black Cloud Knight casualties are also increasing.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li Yue's whole body was dyed red, and he finally broke through the siege.
But they happened to meet the Qiang cavalry head-on. They seemed to be recuperating their horsepower and preparing for the final charge.
The first general was in his thirties, more than eight feet tall, strong and mighty, holding a long spear in his hand, looking at himself with complicated eyes.
"Who is it? It turns out to be Yao Xiang and Yao Jingguo!" Shi Min's eyes were red, blood was dripping all over his body, and there were four red circles under the horse's hooves.
After glancing sideways at the opposing soldiers, several war horses on the opposite side took two steps back in unison.
"Marquis Xiucheng, you are well." Yao Xiang raised his hands on the horse. Although he was wearing armor, he did not give off the tyrannical feeling like other generals of the Later Zhao army, but was rather elegant.
"We'll talk about gossip later, don't block a certain road, get out of the way!" Shi Min's eyes were already red, and even his words were aggressive.
"You..." One of the Qiang cavalry stepped out, but was stopped by Yao Xiang.
The two just stared at each other on horseback.
Yao Xiang raised his eyebrows, "If our army hadn't broken the formation first, I'm afraid Xiuchenghou would have suffered heavy casualties."
"Hmph, are you waiting? I'm going to break the formation and kill the enemy. Whoever blocks my way, don't blame me for being ruthless with the weapons in my hands!" Shi Min said murderously, with the halberd and double-edged spear in his hands baring his teeth and claws.
Li Yue felt a little harsh when he heard these words.
Normally Shi Min has a bold personality, but once he goes to the battlefield, he is completely different.
Maybe he is real now...
Those who are close to ink are dark, those who are close to vermilion are red. Ran Liang died early. Shi Min was taken by Shi Hu when he was young. Everything he saw and said was killing, which inevitably affected him.
That's why he doesn't care about the lives of his men.
Just like Shi Hu's sons, most of them are as cruel as animals.
"Marquis Xiucheng!" Faced with Shi Min's murderous intent, Yao Xiang couldn't help but change his expression.
"Once again, anyone who blocks my way will be killed without mercy!" The last four words were almost shouted.
Zhu Longma seemed to feel his master's murderous intention. He stood up, looked up to the sky and hissed.
All the horses on the opposite side couldn't help but retreat.
Yao Xiang clenched the long spear in her hand, but finally relaxed and said, "Put it away!"
The Qiang cavalry behind them made way for them.
Ran Min looked up to the sky and laughed, then rode his horse and rushed past.
As Li Yue passed by, he caught a glimpse of Yao Xiang's livid face from the corner of his eye.
Yao Xiang stared at Shi Min's back. All the cavalry passed by, but he remained indifferent.
Knowing that Yao Yizhong was coming from the north with more than 2,000 cavalry, he saw that the Qiang cavalry had strange expressions on their faces and asked in confusion, "Why are you standing still?"
Some Qiang cavalry officers had already told what happened just now.
Yao Yizhong was furious and whipped Yao Xiang with a horsewhip, "You are the commander of the army, and you have five thousand people under your command. Why are you afraid of a mere man named Shi Min? You are ashamed to kill me!"
The whip kept falling, hitting Yao Xiang on his head, face, shoulders...
Yao Xiang remained silent.
Shi Min left, but the coldness still remained in his heart.
He was also a veteran on the battlefield, and he knew very well that if he did not get out of the way at that time, Shi Min would definitely take action, and he would die under his spear.
Strangely enough, the burning pain on his face made him feel better.
After the pain, the fear in my heart dissipated, replaced by anger and shame.
"Shi Min insulted me too much. I will take revenge one day!" Yao Yizhong's white hair stood on end.
The eldest son Yao Yisheng said: "Shi Min Mangfu, if he rushes forward, our army can follow behind, and the fisherman will benefit!"
Yao Yizhong's anger was generally due to the humiliation brought by Shi Min, and the other half was due to Yao Xiang's indifference.
Originally the heir of Jitou was the eldest son Yao Yisheng, but because Yao Xiang was outstanding in martial arts and good at winning over people's hearts, the powerful chiefs and generals in Jitou requested, so Yao Xiang was appointed.
But now Yao Xiang's performance really disappoints him.
Sometimes people take the first step back and then take the second or third step.
"All armies follow me to capture Liang Du. Anyone who steps back will be killed!" Yao Yizhong looked angrily at the cavalry in the southeast. Shi Min's tall body and tall war horse were particularly prominent.
At this moment, Shi Min didn't care at all about the hatred coming from behind.
He only cares about Liang Du's head and uses this battle as a means of advancement.
However, the cavalry behind him kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally, and they all leaned towards Li Yue. Only the more than 300 horsemen around him closely followed him.
The battlefield ahead is more intense.
The Gaoli Imperial Guard also knew that it was the last moment and fought forward more and more crazily.
But when their manpower finally ran out, they fought all the way from Longyou to Xingyang and had exhausted all their strength. The next battle at Hulao Pass was the beginning of their fall from the top.
Even Xiang Yu, the overlord, will have a day when his veterans are tired.
He raised his troops when he was unarmed, defeated Liu Ning, Shi Bao, and Li Nong one after another, and captured Chang'an and Luoyang. As an army, by this moment, it was completely exhausted.
Many people just kill out of habit and don't care whether their axes or spears hit the enemy.
Like a zombie, he keeps raising the ax, slashing forward, withdrawing it, and slashing again...
