Starting My Cultivation With Immortality
Chapter 80: Great victory in the first battle
"Come here, pick 1,000 short crossbowmen, 500 sword and shield fighters, and 500 long spearmen, follow me."
He Buyu quickly picked someone. Except for a team of cavalry guards, none of the other cavalry were brought. They all brought crossbowmen who were suitable for shooting cavalry in narrow terrain, and those who were specially used to fight cavalry at melee distance. Contradictory combination.
The soldiers and horses of these two thousand people were all led by him along the way, and he taught them when they camped and trained. Many of them were the soldiers of the He family's government and township, and they were also given to this nephew by He Yuming. a little care.
He knew that this nephew was not only very knowledgeable, but also familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he has obtained a lot of true teachings from the He family.
He didn't want to see whether this nephew was just a soldier on paper or a real general.
It was the first battle with the Ulan Iron Cavalry, and the direct descendants of the He family could stand up to fight without fear of death, which could greatly inspire the morale of the army.
He Ruiming still recognized He Buyu quite a bit. He would also ask him many questions about military expeditions, supply planning, and military defense strategies along the way. He seemed to regard this nephew as his adviser.
"Brothers, you are all aware of the current situation. As soon as the war started, the Ulan people relied on conspiracy and tricks to seize the city of Hantian, and encircled me in the west with an army of 200,000 people. Now they can enter the customs and harass my Dacheng hinterland at any time. Dacheng can be described as dangerous. Carry on.
Along the way, I heard some people say that if we hadn't gone on an expedition to Ulan, we wouldn't be where we are today. However, they were wrong.
In the two hundred years since the founding of the country, it has been repeatedly invaded by the Ulan Iron Cavalry. There are fifty-three entry and looting recorded in the history books, and the battle of Hantian City is no less than hundreds of times.
Especially before the construction of the Great Wall in the Western Region, Hantian City was not as strong as it is today.
How many families have been destroyed, how many people have been plundered to the grasslands thousands of miles away and become slaves for life. There is no right or wrong in war, but it is possible to poison my Dacheng territory, **** our brothers and sisters, rob my Dacheng people as slaves, and sell them cheaply in other countries. What is unbearable.
Let me ask, in the three western states, who has no blood feud with the Ulan people.
I once heard an expert who is also a teacher and a friend say that people who are not my race will have different hearts. If they can't turn their battles into jade and silk, they will fight **** battles to the end, and die standing up, it is better than living on their knees, being a slave and a maid.
It may not be the best way for Dacheng to take the initiative to go west to Ulan, but what the Ulan people have done since the start of the war has explained everything. They have long had wolf ambitions, and this ambition may be bigger than the sky.
Today, Lao Tzu, He Yuanshan, has had enough.
Dacheng, enough is enough.
This year, Lao Tzu is 23 years old. He has no wife and no children. He is not much different from you. He is also full of flesh and blood. It's just that I have read books for a few years, and I have taken a Jie Yuan test, and the others are not very good.
Today, I, He Yuanshan, will take you all to throw our heads and shed blood, abandon this body, and follow the example of the sages, protect the family, defend the country, and defend the territory. Even if I die, I will be reincarnated, and eighteen years later, I will still be a great man. "
"Fight the **** battle to the end, and swear to follow the lord to the death."
These two thousand troops are all elite soldiers, and the commanding officers and captains at all levels are also mainly from the direct descendants of the He family. Naturally, they are very excited.
"Very good, let's go and come back together. The living will be rewarded for their merits, and the dead family will benefit. As long as you follow what I teach you, you will not be afraid of the Ulan Iron Cavalry."
He Buyu waved the spear in his hand, and the two thousand elite soldiers quietly descended the mountain and hid in the dense forest. In addition to protecting him, the other martial arts masters who accompanied the army scattered and jumped up the treetops to check. The flag on the mountain, scout the information of the Ulan Iron Cavalry.
Yun Su hides aside, and also wants to see how the master of the academy fights, whether he is similar to the great writer Xin Qiji who is both civil and military.
Judging from his pre-war mobilization, he can be considered to be able to put it down. He is not as cowardly and pedantic as an ordinary scholar, but has a **** nature. , or from the character of the He family.
And one of the advantages of being a scholar is that he has an excellent memory, and some of the viewpoints that he talked to him when he had nothing to do in the past were also learned and used by him.
It is no wonder that Emperor Yuanling sent He Ruiming to control the war in the four states when he decided to go west to Wulan. Combined with many records in the annals of history, the He family in Yangzhou really has something special. It was He Jiaerlang who led the army to repel, and the losses were smaller each time. In recent times, the soldiers, horses and people of the three western states have been brought by the He family to show their experience.
Twenty miles of official road, for the cavalry, is more than half an hour.
After these Ulan iron cavalry arrived, they did not launch a charge in one go, but regrouped and moved forward in groups. It seemed that the charge would only be launched at close range, maximizing the speed advantage of the cavalry.
From their point of view, the Dingbo army camp with flags fluttering on the mountainside in the distance seems to be undefended.
But what the Ulan people did not expect was that He Ruiming made a lot of fake flags, planted them on the open mountainside, set up many fake tents, and even buried pots to make rice, making it look like the smoke was everywhere.
However, the real main force of the Dingbo army was above the mountainside and behind it.
About 300 feet away, the camouflaged Dingbo army camps on the mountainside could be faintly seen. The general of the Wulan Iron Cavalry waved his hand, and the cavalry began to charge in groups.
"Sure enough, they are a group of rabble, camping wherever they are open, doesn't it just happen to be cheaper for our army, what Yangzhou He family, the old, the old, the dead, the new generation is just like that, hahaha..."
The leader of the Wulan Iron Cavalry, Wan Hu, licked his lips. He couldn't stand it anymore in Hantian City these days. Every time he asked for a battle, the commander rejected it on the pretext of solving the Western Expedition.
The Dingbo army was all the way west, and it was confirmed by the Ulan spies long ago. They were just some defenders, farmers, hawkers, and even stronger bandits. As for those so-called experts, In front of the cavalry army and arrows like locusts, there is nothing to worry about.
Not long after, thousands of iron cavalry rushed to the foot of the mountain. They were about to rush to the tents, but suddenly a group of men and horses rushed out from the slope.
"kill!"
Why don't you speak, dressed in refined heavy armor, holding a long spear of more than 100 meters, shouting loudly, taking the lead, rushing to the front, the spear stabs, and directly penetrates a Ulan hundred households, and then uses the horse's momentum, slams it hard, and throws it out. .
"Whoosh whoosh..."
At the same time, locust-like crossbow arrows shot out from the dense forest, and the Ulan Iron Cavalry immediately turned on their backs.
The distance is too close, and there are many dense forests. It is easy for Dacheng crossbowmen to find gaps and shoot outside the dense forest. However, the Ulan people can't use their bows and horns. Everywhere they look, there are leaves in the dense forest, so they have to wave their sabers to kill.
"kill!"
As a result, as soon as they got close, they saw hundreds of spears suddenly stabbed out of the dense forest. Those Dacheng spearmen put their spears on the ground and pointed diagonally forward. Many Ulan people's **** BMWs couldn't react at all and were stabbed in their stomachs. The unfortunate cavalry was also picked off a lot.
Then, hundreds of infantrymen with a shield in one hand and a machete in the other rushed out, and instead of fighting the cavalry sitting high on the horse, they rolled on the spot and chopped the horse's legs.
For a time, the Ulan Iron Cavalry was cut to the core.
"X your mother's!"
A Ulan Qianhu officer saw this. He was accustomed to sitting on horseback and killing the enemy like a monkey. He had never encountered such a suffocation before, and he was furious. With a wave of his hand, thousands of cavalrymen chased after him. .
He Buyu picked up a few Ulan cavalry in a row, but he rushed too far ahead and was slashed twice on his body. Fortunately, the Ulan man's full moon saber could not cut through the refined heavy armor on his body, but it was extremely unfortunate. An arrow penetrated the gap in the armor and shot through the corner of the shoulder.
"Withdraw!"
Why didn't he speak and didn't panic, he didn't even feel the pain at this time, he gritted his teeth and pulled out his saber, cut off the arrow with a click, turned his horse's head and ran. Lan Tieqi also suffered a lot of injuries, most of whom were killed by crossbow arrows.
He Buyu was riding a Dacheng mountain horse. He couldn't outrun the Ulan people's hot-blooded BMW in the plains, but he was very agile in the mountains. The Ulan Iron Cavalry was furious as he watched this group of rogue troops who were attacking.
"The whole army charged forward, bloodbathed as a child."
The commander of the Ulan Iron Cavalry, who was originally complacent, was angered by this blow in the head. You didn't wait to be killed by the powerful Ulan Iron Cavalry, but you dared to attack and immediately ordered a charge.
In his opinion, it should be an honor to be killed by an iron cavalry that has been invincible for hundreds of years across the grasslands of the Ulan people.
I saw the Ulan iron cavalry all over the mountains and plains, they chased He Ruiming's soldiers and horses, and came up the mountain. They didn't take the small loss to their hearts, thinking that it was a dying struggle of adults, in order to delay time and protect their camp. .
"Ahead is the adult's camp, kill them."
"Hahahaha, this time I will arrest 100 slaves and go back to help Laozi herd the sheep."
"Hahaha, the beauty of Dacheng is fragrant and tender. After tidying up the scumbags, the Bo army will be sacked, and then a few county towns will be sacked, ten wives will be taken back to the grassland, and a bunch of cubs will be born."
Yunsu stood in the distance and looked at these Ulan people on horseback. He couldn't help guessing. He didn't know what conditions must be met in order for these Ulan people to become good at singing and dancing and love peace.
In all fairness, the Ulan people are much more primitive and backward than Dacheng, and they are more bloodthirsty, advocating captivity and killing. The slave system is only one aspect. Generally speaking, the racial civilization in the bones is still in a barbaric state, and the level is not high.
Ahead, He Ruiming's fake camp on the mountainside was already on fire. The Ulan people were even more excited when they saw it. They all felt that it was an adult who was frightened by the strong wind of the iron cavalry, and that he was in disarray, so he desperately urged his horse to charge.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the first few Ulan **** horses fell into the pit with one foot, and were immediately pierced by countless sharpened huge wooden guns.
Then, hundreds of Ulan iron cavalry fell into dozens of horse traps one after another.
However, Wulan's hot-blooded military horses are also well-trained. When the horses in the back see the trap, they know to jump to avoid them, and fewer of them fall later.
"As an adult, this is the only way. Kill!"
Tens of feet, thousands of Dingbo soldiers ran up the mountain like crazy, and the Ulan Iron Cavalry laughed and continued to charge forward desperately.
Unconsciously, the speed of the warhorse has dropped a lot, and the iron cavalry in front has rushed into the camp, only more than 20 meters away from the fleeing Dingbo army.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
He Ruiming could see clearly on the mountain, and when he saw that the Ulan people were tricked, at least six or seven thousand iron cavalry rushed into the camp in a very short period of time. :
"Fill the arrows!"
For a time, on the trees on the mountain, behind the stones, and in the dirt pits, countless Dingbo army bowmen emerged. Hundreds of crossbows and platoon giant bows were also pushed out from behind the trees and grasses. The arrows were already ready. Almost no need to aim, the camp on the mountainside is full of Ulan iron cavalry, still rushing towards the mountain desperately.
"Swish swish swish..."
Many Ulan people are battle-hardened, and when they heard the dense thunderstorm-like sound, they were horrified, but it was too late.
The bows equipped by the Dingbo Army are mainly longbows, which are not suitable for fighting on horseback, but are extremely suitable for fixed shooting. The range of ordinary bows and crossbows can reach 40 to 50 feet, and the advantage of being condescending is even greater.
As for those powerful bed crossbow giant bows, it is even more terrifying.
"what……"
A Ulan cavalry rushing at the front only felt a flower in front of him, and was pierced by a giant crossbow with a thick arm. in the belly of a war horse.
Many Ulan people looked up at the mountains, only to think that the arrows of adults were more terrifying than when there was a plague of locusts on the grasslands.
Many cavalry and warhorses were shot and killed without ever recovering.
Even many Ulan masters who were hidden among the cavalry and possessed martial arts were shot into hedgehogs just as they jumped into the air.
The Dingbo army is messy, but there are a lot of weapons and arrows, and it doesn't feel bad to use it. This is the territory of Dacheng, and it can be recovered after the war, and the supplies from the rear are also continuously sent.
Rather than being defeated and letting the Ulan people wantonly plunder the four states, it is better to use it to kill a few more Ulan cavalry.
The Dingbo army was full of firepower, and many archers even shot empty quivers. As a result, an infantry immediately handed over another bag.
There were more than 7,000 Ulan iron cavalry. At first, many cavalrymen hid under the belly of the horse, but when they got to the back, even the horse was shot to death. Moreover, the war horse was also frightened by the arrows like this rainstorm and began to go crazy.
It was only half a stick of incense, Yunsu looked at it, and nearly 4,000 Ulan cavalry were shot and killed. This was because the cavalry behind turned around and ran away, otherwise they would all die in the fake camp set up by He Yuming. middle.
"kill!"
There was a loud shout on the mountain, and more than 5,000 cavalrymen of the Dingbo Army took the lead and rushed down. The cavalry was difficult to go up the mountain, but it was much easier to go down. Shooting arrows with the Ulan Iron Cavalry.
At this moment, I saw three black lights coming from far to near, and they were about to go up the mountain in an instant.
Yunsu saw the people coming from afar. They were all monks from the Ghost Temple. Some martial arts masters who originally accompanied the army were shot by Dacheng Army's arrows and could not fight back~lightnovelpub.net~ Finally, the monks were used. .
He wasn't in a hurry to make a move, as someone had been waiting in the dark for a long time.
"Whoosh~"
Many soldiers of the Dingbo army were in shock when they saw three sword lights fly out of the mountain in an instant.
"what……"
With three screams, Wulan Guixiu had almost no strength to fight back, so he was killed by two people, one of whom walked higher, used a ghost method, turned into a puff of black smoke, and ran away in the air.
"The thief goes away!"
The three sword lights didn't stop at all and hurriedly chased after them. Yunsu saw this, but hurriedly shouted:
"Don't chase after poor thieves!"
However, the three sword cultivators couldn't hear them at all. When the words fell, they had already chased them out for several miles, and they chased after Hantian City in a blink of an eye.
Yunsu shook his head, the ghosts and ghosts of the temple were haunted, and he had already reminded him aloud that the other party might just take it as a warning from an ordinary Jianghu expert, and it was completely disrespectful.
These people from the Mountain Sword Sect have good cultivation and unique kendo, but they are too loner. Even He Yuming of the Dingbo Army is not worthy of their recognition, let alone a man who seems to be only a martial artist. The master swordsman is not in their eyes anymore.
The situation in Hantiancheng was quite complicated, and Yunsu wanted to ensure that the soldiers of the Dingbo Army would not be slaughtered by the monks of the Ghost Square Temple.
"go!"
Yunsu read the mantra, called out the Lang Ya sword, pointed it out, and attached a trace of divine consciousness, the Lang Ya sword seemed to come to life, and instantly flew into the air, chasing after the three people at a speed several times faster.
Twenty miles was too close, so he could only do his best.
