Chapter 739 The Lonely Traveler
The crossbow and arrow caused huge damage among the enemy troops, and then the bow and arrow went into battle, but the bow and arrow are fast men...at least in Jia Ping'an's eyes, one round passed.
"Brother, I'm going!"
Li Jingye's face was flushed with excitement even before meeting the enemy, he was more excited than throwing his ass.
What excites men in this world is murder and women. Killing can trigger violence, adrenaline spurts; women can make men gradually calm down from violence. Some people say that violence is a man's weapon, but in fact it is just an instinct, an instinct that makes you react at critical moments.
"Boom!"
Li Jingye rushed up fiercely. Li Ji saw the unusually generous body rushing towards the army at a glance, but he couldn't do anything, and even had to dispel the thoughts in his mind.
In front, the enemy's infantry came up, and the spears were arrayed and stabbed again and again, making the Koreans resentful in front of the formation. But there were too many enemy troops, and after a short while, the Koreans made a breakthrough in one place.
The Koreans who had just rushed into the formation were ecstatic, and immediately a generous figure appeared in front of them, slashing him in half with a smirk. The upper body fell, his face was full of surprise, and he didn't know why he fell into the dust.
"ah!"
A Mo knife rushed into the breakthrough, swept left and right, stumps and broken arms flew, and blood sprayed.
"Yay, Li Jingye!"
The roar was like thunder, which frightened the enemy.
Li Ji saw this scene, as did the generals around him. Qi Bi He Li praised: "Sure enough, it's Xiong Wei, no, it's a human bear. This kind of majestic man can be said to be invincible in front of the two armies..."
Xiong Wei is nothing more than that, anyway, it has some meaning, but what does the man-bear mean? Li Ji took a look at Qibi Heli, and felt that this old guy was trying to relax everyone.
This battle will be very slow, and he needs to cheer up to find the enemy's flaws and kill them with one blow.
Jia Ping'an is also looking for the enemy's weak spot. The more than 100,000 enemy troops, regardless of the size of the weak spot, just need to be flooded with a sea of people, and any weak spot will become an iron hammer, and you will have no power to resist.
At this moment, the enemy's pawns are like waves, coming wave after wave. The Tang army's long spear array was extremely strong, driving the enemy out again and again, leaving a pile of corpses and a sea of blood every time before the array.
Stepping on such a sea of blood, Tang Jun was slowly moving forward, trying to fight back. But the Koreans were brave, and immediately counterattacked. There were endless screams.
"Is it just to compare patience with the old man?"
Li Ji said lightly: "Our army's infantry array is unparalleled in the world. As long as we stick to it, we can make him helpless. When his attack is weak, it is our army's opportunity to counterattack."
They all looked at the two sides in the war with one face and no expression. At this moment, countless possibilities and ways to deal with them appeared in his mind, but without exception, they were all smashed in front of the Tang army's infantry.
"Xisa, change another wave." The general beside him reminded. It won't be long, everyone knows this truth. It has been half an hour since the army pounced, and they are obviously showing signs of fatigue. If it is ignored, there is a danger of collapse later. This is also the reason why neither offense nor defense can last, and substitutions must be made at every turn. However, compared with Tang Jun, who is neatly arrayed and skilled in changing formations, the Koreans are very troublesome.
If there is a hasty retreat, then the Tang army is in danger of hiding and killing. When the army collapses, no one will be able to use it.
"I know."
all said in a dumb voice. He is aware of the danger at this time, and he is decisive to leave, and the follow-up reinforcements must arrive in time. If Tang Jun counterattacks, they must be able to suppress it.
"Take them back down."
all simply ordered.
"Xa Sa!"
The surrounding generals looked at him in surprise.
"It's time to cover. If we don't cover, the Tang army is brave and the horse army is watching from behind. When the time comes, an impact will put our army in danger of collapse."
"Withdraw." They all raised their hands, and a group of tall sergeants stepped forward behind them.
The sergeants in this team were wearing armor, holding sharp long knives in their hands, their visors were put down, and there was a sound of gasping around them.
"This is an elite soldier trained by the old man in Beifuyu City. There are 3,000 soldiers, but they can fight against 30,000."
The signal to retreat was issued, and Li Ji said lightly: "Try it out, and the whole army will step forward."
The Koreans were retreating rapidly, and the follow-up Tang Army crossbowmen struggled to shoot waves of crossbow arrows, causing them heavy casualties. What's more terrible is that Tang Jun followed and chased them like maggots on the tarsus, refusing to let them go.
"Get out of the way!"
Three thousand sergeants stepped forward, holding knives in their hands, and stared at Tang Jun who rushed over.
The two sides kept getting closer, and there was nothing else in their eyes.
"Mo Dao Shou!"
There was a stern shout from Tang Jun behind the formation, and Tang Jun in front got angry, thinking that this meant that he didn't regard himself as an elite. What a shame! If it was passed back, how would they behave? But the military order is like a mountain, who dares to disobey? He could only step back resentfully.
Teams of Modao came up. They were covered in armor, even wearing visors on their heads, with only a pair of eyes exposed, looking like ghosts.
The Koreans are looking forward to it. If Gao Li wins, they will be able to take advantage of the situation and attack Tang Jun in one fell swoop.
are all alone waiting for the good news.
He spent a lot of effort in training these soldiers. Careful selection is one thing, but ruthless practice is king. In order to train these fierce soldiers, he even found different opponents for these people, such as Khitan people. The last time the Goryeos failed to attack the Khitans, it was because Du Shan didn't go to battle. He swore that if his troops went up, those Khitans would become dust. But he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and dare not leave his post without authorization.
This army is killing everywhere, people are constantly dying, and then they are replaced, and they continue to kill... They use killing to sharpen themselves, and finally become the best of the best.
"Xu Sa, I heard that you trained hard in Beifuyu City, is this one?"
All nodded, "If the previous killings were just sharpening, then this long knife should be sharpened today. What an honor it is to use the strongest army in the world to sharpen it?"
"Xu Sa, does this army have a name?"
Du Dan said flatly: "Human bear!"
"kill!"
Both sides contacted.
"That heartless idiot!"
Jia Ping'an is very comfortable, not worried about the outcome of the Modao team. Since Mo Dao was born, he has encountered countless powerful enemies. No matter who they are, even if they are big cannibals, they have to drink their hatred before the battle. Koreans are too confident, but this is also an opportunity...
Obviously Li Ji also thought of this, and Ma Jun was quietly moving forward.
"kill!"
Mo Dao waved, the light of the Dao flashed, and the limbs of those Koreans were flying everywhere. All elites have become a joke in front of Mo Dao.
Mo Dao is equivalent to a heavy tank at this time, going forward indomitably.
A Korean man had his left arm cut off, but he rushed forward and hit the opponent with his head. Then he drew out the dagger and stabbed vigorously. Mo Dao staggered him with a punch, then rushed forward and threw him to the ground with his body. Stepping on his body one by one, what heavy armor suddenly became a joke.
"kill!"
But Renxiong is the elite of the elite after all. They desperately attacked Tang Jun's Mo Dao team, and some Mo Dao players were even beheaded in several places, which caused a burst of cheers. But then Tang Jun's follow-up reinforcements turned their joy into anger.
"Rush in!"
The Koryo general who led the army knew the consequences of the failure of the attack... The morale of the army was frustrated.
The key is that he has already made a promise before he set off, and he will not withdraw his troops if he wins. Thinking of this, he raised his head and roared, "Follow me!"
An arrow flew in, and the enemy general slapped away with one hand, and used his sharp sword to kill a Mo Daoist, but was immediately followed by Li Jingye.
"I come!"
But all warriors will feel lonely, and finding a good opponent is their wish. Li Jingye is like this, at this moment he is so excited that he wants to roar.
"Roar!"
Mo Dao vs Chang Dao, only two swords, and the enemy fell in a pool of blood. Li Jingye was stunned, "That's it? Your mother's cowhide is coaxing... That's it?"
This little beast!
Seeing that the whole army was cheering for his grandson, Li Ji couldn't help yelling and cursing secretly. He was worried that his grandson would become the enemy's target. At that time, it would be difficult for him to fight four hands with one punch. Could he still fly over to save people?
The front of Li Jingye was swept empty, he raised his head and said in astonishment: "Where is the person?"
Too brutal.
This short battle ended with a battle between the bears and the swordsmen, the two sides' weapons at the bottom of the box, and the Koreans were defeated.
The Korean attack came again.
Jia Ping'an's Jia flag shook a few times, and Li Jingye retreated reluctantly.
Modaoshou needs to rest and wait for the next assault.
"Defeated."
A general muttered to himself, looking depressed.
The so-called human bear is vulnerable, and Tang Jun's Mo Dao proves that he is an invincible existence. This discovery made the Korean army slackened. If there were not enough people on their own side, they would collapse at this moment.
"There is no need to panic." Du Shan smiled and said: "This is just a corner of the battlefield. The victory or defeat of 3,000 people is not surprising. What Goryeo needs is the victory of more than 100,000 people. It is a big victory!"
Everyone has different thoughts, and the spirit from the beginning of the war is gradually dissipating.
But Du Dan's calm still left a deep impression on them.
Where they couldn't see, Du Dan clasped his armor with his right hand, and there was severe pain. He had to use great pain to keep himself calm.
The remnants of the human bears are back, looking out of their wits. They have always been invincible, and they feel that they are an invincible army. But today's battle wiped out all their sense of superiority. Just like the Anshi Rebellion many years later, the Youzhou Iron Cavalry swept the Tang Dynasty, and the empty Central Plains was like a naked woman, waiting for the ravages of Anlu Mountain. The reinforcements returned from the Western Regions in time, and Li Siye led the Mo Daomen to deal a heavy blow to the rebels.
Du Dan's pride was shattered before this Modao team, but he must remain calm and show a confident look.
"Rest first."
This battle lasted until two hours later, and both armies were persevering with willpower.
The right wing collapsed suddenly, without warning. The generals looked at Du Dan with panicked eyes, waiting for his decision. During the two-hour battle, the two sides kept changing their troops, but even so, the Koreans couldn't stand it anymore.
Both only know that now we must be steady, no, we must be tough. He said coldly: "Kill the leading general."
"No refund!"
The leading general was chopped off in front of the battle, and the general who replaced him had red eyes and shouted: "Follow me!"
Here he shouted to follow me, not to me. Who said Koreans have no courage? Their bravery was clearly revealed at this time.
The general was stabbed and fell down immediately, but he got up immediately, beheaded the spearman in front of him, and then rushed in bravely.
The two sides fell into a stalemate, and the array in front of them was criss-crossed. Once someone couldn't support it, the array would collapse in an instant. This is the characteristic of large-scale combat. It seems to be on a large scale, but once it collapses, the defeat is also very large-scale.
"Big Manager!"
Qibi He Li drew his sword, and said with piercing eyes: "Old man, go and suppress the morale of the enemy army!"
Behind him, two hundred riders were ready to go. These cavalry are all armored, and once they mount their horses and charge into battle, they are invincible.
"Not in a hurry."
Li Ji's eyes are calm, he is observing the battle situation, keenly looking for opportunities.
It's more than patience, all alone, can you have it?
His eyes passed through the front of the formation, and found the large banner of the Koryo Army.
The big flags all had one-sided expressions, "Press them all up, don't stay..."
There is no reserve team left in the war, this is a joke!
But they all only discovered the crisis of the Koryo Army. Under the tenacious defense of the Tang army, their morale seemed to have risen to a certain point, but it was booming and then declining, and the moon was full and then it was losing. That's where the previous sudden crash came from. However, the Tang army's reserve team was still recharging their energy, and their horse army had not moved. This was Li Ji's trump card.
In the combat sequence of the Tang army, the horse army is the most special existence. When the infantry fails, the cavalry and jumping will take on the heavy responsibility of repelling the enemy. When the fighter plane comes, the horse army will carry out the important task of fatal blow. Such a horse army... has not moved for these two hours, even if the two sides' eyes are red, even if the formations of the two sides are staggered, a breakthrough will be formed, but Li Ji still has not used the horse army.
That old spicy old thing! He was so determined, no, he believed in the toughness of his pawns.
Du Shan knew that there was no way out at this moment. Once they retreated, the Tang army would swarm in like a pack of wolves, turning the road of defeat into a road of death.
Don't let go!
He looked up at the sky.
The sky was cloudy, but a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared, piercing the dark clouds.
This is a good omen!
Dan never believed in these things. In the past, what his subordinates said about good omens and omens, or that they would sacrifice to the gods before going out for an expedition, were all dismissed by him as nonsense. But at this moment, he is devoutly praying to that ray of sunshine...
"This battle must be won!"
Li Ji also saw this ray of sunshine, which expanded rapidly and shone from behind Tang Jun... The Koreans are in danger.
Li Ji knew that this was an opportunity for a decisive battle.
He squatted in Chang'an for a long time. Since the death of the first emperor, he has been in a whirlpool. The Shandong gentry wanted to use him to block guns, and the emperor wanted to use him to maintain the situation, which is also blocking guns. He also thought about throwing it all away, and then retired to the countryside. But the countryside has long been deserted, what to do when you go back? Going back to Shandong, the gentry will regard him as a traitor, and then try to deal with him. The emperor will regard him as a deserter, and from then on, the descendants of the Li family will not be able to reuse him...
The nobles are ruthless!
The emperor is ruthless!
In their eyes, only the supreme right is what they pursue, and whoever dares to obstruct it is their life and death enemy.
So he has been stabilizing the most important executive department among the three provinces in Chang'an, Shangshu Sheng. He is the emperor's greatest hero who stabilized Shang Shusheng.
But he prefers to fight on the battlefield after all. But his contributions are too great, what if he makes great achievements in the battlefield? He is already unsealable, does he want to be a duo?
Li Ji smiled slightly.
He can learn from Li Jing and live in seclusion from now on, keeping a low profile and avoiding the fear of the emperor. But... this old man is Li Ji! That proud Li Ji.
Jia Ping'an was also looking at Li Ji.
The young British boy became famous, and immediately got out of hand, assisting three generations of emperors. Now the emperor still has a lot of trust in him, but Lian is old, can he still eat? This moment is a fighter opportunity, if you miss it, you will choose to exchange without hesitation, put your most elite subordinates into the battlefield, create a balance of power, and then look for opportunities to withdraw from the battlefield.
This is the role of the general.
On the left flank, the enemy army was in confusion.
...
"Ma Jun!"
The horse army behind him got on his horse. Because of the armor, they must let their horses rest when they are not fighting.
Five hundred elite horse troops, this is the strategic force that Li Ji is going to invest.
"The enemy army has shown signs of decline. This is a good opportunity for our army to win the battle. Do you want to triumphantly return to Chang'an?"
Li Ji roared angrily.
"think!"
"Maybe fall into the battle?" Li Ji asked.
"I am invincible!" The soldiers roared with great confidence in their voices.
Li Ji raised the horizontal knife and pointed it forward.
"Strike!"
There was a way ahead, and the Ma Jun attacked.
The enemy soldiers looked up in panic, and when they saw the armored cavalry speeding up, they were immediately stunned. Tang Jun's tactics are famous all over the world, and Ma Jun's impact power is also famous all over the world, but knowing it is one thing, and blocking it is another!
Jia Ping'an has already rushed forward, rushing into the enemy's formation one step ahead.
"Du Dan!"
"Du Dan, we lost, we lost!"
The generals looked panic-stricken, all looking behind them, wanting to be the first to escape. Everyone has a premonition that this time Tang Jun's pursuit will continue until they are wiped out.
"Hold on!"
Du Shan coughed dryly, and said, "Tell them, Goryeo won't lose, we'll do it all over again...we'll do it all over again."
"Du Dan!"
Someone called him by his first name, "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy!"
All stared sharply at the general who spoke, and chopped him off with a single blow. Then he raised his knife and shouted: "Follow me, follow me. Let's defeat Tang Jun... Don't retreat! Don't retreat!"
The army is defeated like a mountain, and once it retreats, it will end in collapse, and no one can restore the defeat.
"follow me!"
Du rushed forward alone, he only had Li Ji in his eyes, if he could kill Li Ji with a single blow, then even if he lost, he would be worth it.
Jia Pingan rushed forward, and Li Jingye grabbed a horse and followed closely, shouting: "Brother, wait for me!"
"It's Dudan!"
When Jia Pingan saw Du Dan, he rushed straight to him.
"Jia Pingan!"
Among the most hated people in Du Shan, Jia Ping'an can at least be ranked in the top three. If it weren't for the surprise attack that night, he felt that he would not be defeated! Just last night, because a lot of tents were burned, many soldiers could only sleep in the open, and their morale was greatly reduced. And the shadows are always there. He wanted to use this attack to boost morale, but he was defeated after all!
"kill!"
Du Dan was like a lonely traveler, launching an attack on the Tang army alone.
Countless Koreans were fleeing, and Dudan's attack seemed extraordinarily tragic and powerless!
His solemnity and powerlessness are the best military exploits in Jia Ping'an's eyes. The two collided, and Jia Pingan easily dodged Dudan's attack, and immediately slashed...
Plop!
All fall alone.
He stared blankly at the sky, thinking of his young son...
Xu Xiaoyu dismounted his horse, walked up to Du Dan, and swung his knife...
"My son..."
The head was handed over to Jia Pingan, who held it up and shouted wildly.
"Victory!"
