Chapter 1118 It’s Snowing

Xia Mou, who was in Chang'an Mausoleum, never believed that the vanguard force brought by General Fei Qian this time was only four to five hundred horses.

If there were only four or five hundred cavalry, how could they break through Zhao Wen's defense line in Suyi?

Xia Mou hesitated.

However, Zhang Xiu's men did not even have 500 horses. Although they were said to have brought 500 people from Diaoyin, it was indeed not conducive to walking on the mountain road. Not only the people but also the horses were damaged. Seven After a discount of seven to eight, there were only a little more than four hundred people left.

And Zhang Xiu, after all, was young and vigorous, and he only left some soldiers near the mountain pass to take care of the wounded and wounded horses, and then led the remaining 400 cavalry to Chang'an!

And what's interesting is that the cavalry under General Fei Qian of the Expedition to the West didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and they didn't even think there would be too much pressure on directly facing Chang'an's nearly 10,000 soldiers. After all, they only had More than four hundred riders...

It was as if they were not four hundred, but four thousand, or even forty thousand people. They just followed Zhang Xiu, unfurling their flags and swaggering past.

The strength of the Han frontier army, and the Northern Cavalry have now been picked up again and erected in their hearts.

Night had already enveloped the land of Guanzhong. Zhang Xiu immediately stopped on a hill. The surrounding cavalry gathered together and stood quietly behind Zhang Xiu.

Not far away is Xia Mou's camp, but poor Xia Mou doesn't have many cavalry at all. After many twists and turns in Guanzhong, there are not many war horses at all, and the only remaining ones are captured by Zhao. Wen took away eighty-eighty-ninety-nine, and the rest could barely act as scouts and messengers, and could no longer become a large-scale army.

Zhang Xiu looked into the distance and saw that in the camp where Xia Mou had set up, the light of torches was rippling in the night. Suddenly he felt a chill on his face. When he looked up, he saw some small particles floating down from the sky. Small snowflakes.

"It's snowing..." Zhang Xiu murmured, then quickly turned around and ordered: "It's snowing, while the snow is not heavy, quickly raise the fire and put up the flag! Let these courageous cowards know that I am here. !”

Soon, the soldiers gathered some broken branches and broken wood, lit a bonfire on the top of the mountain, and then erected a long white cloth flag behind the bonfire...

The long white flag fluttered, and under the light of the bonfire, four large purple-black characters appeared on it. I don't know whether it was written in ink or blood - "Zhao Wen is dead!"

In the darkness of the night, several dark shadows emerged from the bushes and grass, and then quickly moved close to the ground towards Xia Mou's camp...

…………………………

Ever since he joined the army, Li Xian had taken the lead and almost lived and died to climb from a low-level soldier to the position of captain. But it was even more difficult to move up.

Colonels are always only those with family backgrounds. Even these people are captains at the beginning. After three or two months in the army, they can become captains with more than 800 or even 1,000 stones... …

Above Tongguan, being placed under house arrest by Xu Shu, he could only smell the stench of feces and urine every day, look at the small hole in the door, and wait for an unknown fate. Li Xian even thought that this would probably be like this for the rest of his life. It’s hard to say that all the previous efforts and efforts were in vain.

But if this is really the case, it would be better for this good man to spend the rest of his life in such a decadent manner than to really die!

Fortunately, God gave me another chance...

Well, it was General Zhengxi who gave him another chance, a chance to stand up again with his bravery and military exploits!

Li Xian's roar was like thunder, and he led the troops into the city gate hole. With his sword in full swing, he had already chopped down two Zhao Wen soldiers who were hiding near the city gate. He grabbed a wooden spear with his hand and threw it out. , shot an incoming soldier in the chest! Several soldiers who followed Li Xian also rushed to fight bravely, slashing and killing the soldiers near the city gate hole until they were rolling and crawling, and they screamed one after another.

Zhao Wen jumped anxiously on the street and loudly ordered the soldiers to come forward and block the city gate. However, with such a heavy city gate and Li Xian desperately slashing at it, since it had already been opened, how could it be opened instantly? Can the space be closed?

The soldiers who came in a hurry lay on the crenellations of the city gate, leaned out, and shot at the people who were approaching along the suspension bridge. There was already a thin layer of ice on the moat, and from time to time someone was shot, screaming. Falling into the moat, it splashed with ice and water splashes.

Even so, there were still more people rushing in along this bloody road, rushing into the doorway, standing with Li Xian, and advancing inward step by step against Zhao Wen's soldiers.

Li Xian rushed to the front because he had no way out. Those who killed Yang, even if they surrendered and went back, would only be punished with their heads on the ground. In this case, there is only one way to go to the end. Those who initiate ruthlessness have always made other people afraid of them. .

Both sides were eager to control the city gate, forming a huge millstone of flesh and blood. People continued to die, and fresh flesh and blood continued to be filled in again.

Li Xian had already been injured a little, and there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the city gate was so big and there were people around it, so it was inconvenient to move around. Sometimes, he had to fight for his life with his injuries!

One of Zhao Wen's soldiers opened a hole in Li Xian's arm, and then Li Xian stabbed him to the core with a long knife. Then Li Xian held the corpse and bumped forward a few more steps. Suddenly his eyes lit up, he was already out of the door...

The sky was gloomy, with a few scattered snowflakes falling, spinning and floating, as if they were very reluctant to leave the pure sky and were about to fall to the earth full of blood and filth.

Li Xian suddenly staggered and leaned to the side. Just as Li Xian protruded through the doorway, Zhao Wen's soldiers on the city gate involuntarily aimed their arrows at the man who was obviously the leader.

The arrow broke through the snowflakes and came roaring!

Several soldiers rushed forward with shields on their backs, blocking the front.

Although a sword and shield wielder covered his upper body with a shield, he was shot in the leg and fell down with a scream.

Li Xian squatted behind the shield, grinned and bared his teeth, broke the arrow that shot into his arm, then lifted the shield that fell to the ground, and shouted to the soldier who was hit by the arrow in the leg: "Climb to the side! You’ll get trampled to death in the middle!”

Immediately, he no longer cared about the soldier. He put the shield on his arm with all his strength, then raised his sword and shouted: "Kill! This city belongs to us!"

More than a hundred soldiers rushed forward after Li Xian, while others poured into the city gate and ran around the galloping road to attack the soldiers on the city wall.

Zhao Wen's soldiers on the city wall shouted and shot arrows down wildly.

Li Xian only heard the sound on the shield, and he didn't know how many arrows were blocked. Many of his own soldiers beside him were hit by arrows, and they screamed and fell down...

Inside and outside the city, there were screams and screams, and it was a chaotic mess. Not many people noticed that a group of people appeared from the north, and under the banner of General Zhengxi, they rushed towards Suyi City. Come over here!

It wasn't until they got closer that Zhao Wen's soldiers, who had been attracted by the south gate, suddenly discovered the new situation and reported it to Zhao Wen with a loud shout. Zhao Wen was so frightened that his hands and feet suddenly became cold...

Fei Qian followed the large army and arrived at Suyi City in a blink of an eye.

Snowflakes fluttered in the sky and fell on people's faces and hands. They were cold and cold, but they could not annihilate the burning fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers.

"Wei Heizi, are you ready?" Fei Qian turned around and shouted loudly.

Wei Du shouted loudly: "Wait for the general's order!"

"Okay!" Fei Qian raised his horsewhip, then pointed at Su Yi and shouted, "The cavalry on both wings stepped forward to suppress the city. Wei Heizi led the Xuanjia soldiers into the city! A certain person will end the battle within two hours. In the city Enjoy the snow on your head!”

Everyone agreed.

With the flag waving, Zhang Ji took the lead in rushing out of the array with his cavalry, and started galloping around the city along the moat one on the left and the other on the right. For these lightly armored cavalry, running and shooting is just a basic skill. Of course, whether they can hit seven or eight out of ten arrows is the difference between a general and a small soldier. If it is only used to suppress the city and disrupt the If the opponent attacks in a rhythm, a covering arrow rain will suffice.

The sound of the war drums became more and more urgent, and Wei Du led his people to start walking towards Suyi City.

Because the armor on their bodies was heavier, Wei Du and other heavy-armored soldiers hiding behind the sword-shielders did not run as fast as the light-armored infantry, but pressed towards the Suyi city gate step by step. Go up.

Zhao Wen's troops on the top of the city were obviously in a panic. They didn't know what to do. Some of them shot at Li Xian's soldiers inside the city gate, while the other part turned around in disorder and faced Wei Du and others who were newly pressing up. Some people are shooting, and some people are running back and forth, holding their bows and arrows, but they don’t know which side they should shoot...

"Get away!"

When Wei Du saw that he was approaching the city gate, he roared angrily, then pulled down his mask, and with a bang of his heavy ax, he started to trot along the passage that the swordsman and shieldman in front of him had made way for.

When more than a hundred sturdy men wearing heavy armor began to run in formation, their momentum was several times more terrifying than that of the stragglers who were several times larger, not to mention Fei Qian's heavy armored soldier before. They have experienced constant baptism in the battles. Each one is a carefully selected soldier with extraordinary strength. Coupled with a suit of finely forged armor, they are almost the most terrifying war machines!

The suspension bridge in Suyi made an overwhelming creaking sound under the trampling of Wei Du and others, and some soldiers who could not dodge even bumped into Wei Du and others, and were knocked directly into the moat. !

"Go to hell!"

Wei Du roared behind his mask, rushed in front of Li Xian, and then with one hand pushed aside a few of his own soldiers who were still fighting in front like chickens and ducks, then raised his long-handled battle ax and charged forward. Two steps is a sweep!

Originally, Wei capital still used swords, but after seeing the battle ax of the Xianbei warriors, he felt that the battle ax was more suitable for his hand, so he begged Fei Qian to transfer the battle ax to him, and the craftsmen refined it. The ax blade was replaced with a new ax handle. And when the tomahawk is rotated, it really looks like a human-shaped ferocious beast.

The heavy battle ax has an edge like a moon wheel and is almost indestructible. If it touches the arm, the arm will be separated from the body, the chest will be separated from the abdominal cavity, and the neck will be separated from the head. Even when it comes to spears, shields and pieces of armor, they all fall apart under the blow of an axe!

In the blood mist rising all over the sky, Wei Du let out a roar of excitement or satisfaction. He blew out a long breath of white air from behind his mask, and along with the falling snowflakes, he hit his head. Entering the array of Zhao Wen's stubborn soldiers on the streets of Suyi!

Li Xian saw that everyone in Wei Du had pushed back Zhao Wen's soldiers. After taking a breath, he felt pain everywhere in his body, especially the arm where he was shot. It was so painful that it was numb, as if They are no longer their own.

A heavy armored soldier following Wei Du, when passing by Li Xian, stretched out his armor-covered gloves, patted Li Xian on the shoulder, and said: "Good job! Go aside and take a rest first, here, Let's."

Li Xian gritted his teeth. For the sake of his own future, before it was time to rest, he took a few deep breaths, and then followed Wei Du and others, guarding the flanks of these heavy armored soldiers and expanding Zhao Wen's The gap in the soldiers' battle formation.

"Block him! Hurry! Stop him..." Before the government office, Zhao Wen waved his long sword and saw Wei Du rushing into his army with heavy armor, like a wild bull rushing into a flock of chickens and ducks. Crushing, bullying, and unscrupulously slashing the array of soldiers under his command to pieces, he couldn't help shouting in panic.

"...stop...stop...can't stop it..." the school captain who was commanding the soldiers in front of Zhao Wen shouted with a hint of crying, like a little girl about to be bullied by a villain, "Envoy, sir, Evacuate, retreat! If you don’t leave, it will be too late!”

"..." Zhao Wen was silent for a while, then simply lowered his sword silently, and then quickly evacuated backwards under the protection of the guards.

"Zhao Wen ran away! Zhao Wen ran away!"

Li Xian, who was following Wei Du, saw Zhao Wen's actions and shouted loudly. Many people immediately turned their heads to look. When they saw Zhao Wen really retreating and fleeing, these soldiers who were on the verge of collapse rushed to the battlefield. Throwing the blade to the ground, he fell to his knees, unwilling to fight any more.

There was a loud bang at Suyi's west city gate, and the drawbridge was lowered. Then Zhao Wen, with his soldiers and horses without fighting spirit, rushed out of the city gate like crazy and ran towards Chang'an.

"Junhou!" Upon seeing this, Zhang Ji, who returned to Fei Qian's side, quickly clasped his fists and said, "Please order me to pursue you!"

Fei Qian did not answer immediately, but sat quietly on the horse and watched for a moment. When he saw that many of Zhao Wen's soldiers even pushed away or even chopped down their original comrades in order to grab a way to escape, he smiled and nodded and said, "Good! Chase Baili. , completely defeat it!"
