Xu Fengnian's existence is like a reef in the river, although it has stirred up huge waves, it can't stop the castration of the turbulent torrent after all.
On the battlefield north of Hutou City, the cavalry on both wings of the infantry phalanx has carried out several rounds of projectile suppression on the city head by virtue of their skillful archery, and the shield-holding foot soldiers at the head of the tide are standing up outside the city, and the archers in the back row also braved the rain of arrows at the head of the city to launch the first wave of upward shooting, during the attack and defense of the shield and archers, those ladders and opposite buildings were also suddenly added in the gap between the phalanxes, and when the latter attracted the attention of the Beiliang bow and crossbow more, the archers under the cover of the shield soldiers did not stop firing on their backs, and there were Beimang soldiers who acted as dead soldiers began to run wildly, None of them wore heavy iron armor, only lighter leather armor, a shield in one hand, and a reckless sword in the other, these dead soldiers, who had maintained their recuperation during the advance of the phalanx, began to charge after more than 150 paces from the city, and they would play the bloodiest role in the history of warfare, with ants, and people clinging to the city walls like ants.
Almost at the same time, nearly by the Beimang soldiers raised high by the hundreds of ladders erected in the battlements of the gap, and those almost with the top of the city more than ten towering opposite towers, as the name suggests, they formed a pattern of confrontation with the city after stopping, at this time it is also like revealing a hideous face, by the Beimang Southern Dynasty Spring and Autumn Relics of the thick cowhide that covers the face, with a bang, the archers hidden in the building are all the archers on the grassland, compared to the archers who were previously behind the shield pawn to create an arrow rain curtain, its quasi-head is far better, In order to kill and damage the defenders of Tiger Head City who can hide in the dead corners of the back, they must kill and damage as much as possible.
Between the opposite buildings, the ladder with an iron hook nailed to the top was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, biting the body of the giant of the northwest border of Hutou City.
At the same time, the ordinary soldiers who were the first to push the ladder began to carry their shields to climb the ladder, the shields in their hands were smaller than the shield soldiers, and more solid than the dead soldiers who had already rushed to the city with them, and the duty of these soldiers was to open the way for the dead soldiers behind them, and they did not expect them to be able to climb the city, so they simply did not carry weapons, and purely exchanged their flesh and blood or even their lives for that little siege height.
In the distance, Dong Zhuo didn't know when there was an extra team of elite cavalry around him, the iron armor was particularly bright, but it was not the kind of flashy embroidered pillows, with a big bow and a light crossbow plus a war knife, and an iron spear hanging on the side of the saddle.
Beimang's only heavy cavalry army that has never appeared in the world was all screened from the cowardly Xue guards, which completely shows Beimang's exceptional reliance on this army.
Two hundred cowardly Xue cavalry guards a pair of young men and women, the man is wearing a light yellow python suit, he is born rough, but he seems to be a little sickly, his face is pale, sitting on the back of a sweaty horse, bending slightly, looking tied.
However, the graceful and generous woman beside him seemed to be more suitable for the atmosphere on the battlefield than his own man, always squinting in the direction of the city, occasionally retracting his gaze a few times to look at the figure that was constantly breaking the formation and getting closer and closer, revealing a deep gloomy atmosphere.
Therefore, as a chess sword and a two-word word brand named "Han Gu", she won the championship, and the princess of Beimang, who has always been considered to have a gentle temperament, will almost force her man to rush here, she hopes to see with her own eyes the culprit who can collapse half of her sect.
Yelu Hongcai, the prince of Beimang, whispered: "King of the Southern Courtyard, that guy is still coming to break the formation, should we retreat later?"
Dong Zhuo smiled and didn't speak, Dong Fatzi's daughter-in-law Fifth Fox frowned, I used to hear the woman in the family who always competed with her for the title of the eldest woman said, Yelu Hongcai This guy seems to have been scared when he was a child, but now he looks seven or eight points similar to the first emperor, but his courage is really lacking, and he even faints blood, every time he follows Her Majesty the Empress on a hunting tour, he can only rely on the prey captured by the guards around him to get by.
The fifth fox was quickly relieved of this, if Yelu Hongcai was as majestic as his father, he would have died early like many dragon sons and grandsons surnamed Yelu.
Yelu Hongcai probably also realized that his proposal was a little unacceptable, and quickly found a step for himself, pretending to be calm and said: "The king of the Southern Courtyard, don't we have to wait for the god of war, the deeper the Northern Liang King's breakthrough, the greater the amount of energy consumed, if our position is too high, the surname Xu will not have to hit the wall immediately, and when the time comes, the surname Xu has suffered, and as a result, he can't come out of Hutou City, wouldn't it be a big deal for the king of the Southern Courtyard."
Dong Zhuo finally turned his head slowly, looked squarely at this burly man with the most noble status in Beimang, and said with a smile: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true, it is good to lure the enemy deep into the art of war, or not, just do what His Highness says."
Retreat five hundred steps, how" Yelu Hongcai said softly: "Eight hundred steps will be more secure?"
Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Your Highness will do whatever he says." ” The Dong family's pro-army and the prince's cowardly Xue Tiewei began to retreat, and those top masters who concealed the qi machine and the bed crossbow array also shifted.
Yelu Hongcai suddenly smiled, and even his waist subconsciously straightened up a little, and he didn't know whether His Royal Highness the Prince, who was like a puppet in the Beimang Royal Court, was glad that he was out of danger, or enjoyed the great sense of achievement brought by Dong Fatzi's respect.
Yelu Hong turned around and was about to spur the horse with high spirits, when he suddenly heard Dong Zhuo coughing a few times beside him, and the inexplicable Royal Highness the Prince stared at the king of the Southern Courtyard, with a puzzled face, Dong Fat quietly pursed his chin, Yelu Hong realized that his daughter-in-law was still in place, and he had no intention of retreating with him at all, the prince of Beimang, who had almost no deeds in the Liyang Dynasty and the opposition, sighed softly, signaled his cowardly Xue Tiewei to continue to move forward, turned the horse's head alone, and after coming to her, he asked softly: " What's wrong?"
She picked up her horsewhip, pointed to the side of Hutou City, and said coldly: "On that battlefield, my tens of thousands of reckless sons are all going forward to die. ” Yelu Hongcai stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, nodded and said, "Yes, Beiliang does dare to fight, but how can I be afraid of death." ” She slowly turned her head and looked at this man who had shared the same bed but had dreamed for many years, her eyes were full of the complex meaning of anger and sorrow for his misfortune, and at the same time, her long autumn eyes seemed to ask this man who was the future master of the grassland: The grassland Erlang is not afraid of death, and even the king of Beiliang dares to fall into battle in person, so what about you Yelu Hongcai didn't seem to dare to look at the crown princess directly, and bowed his head and said, "Let's go." ” She put down her horsewhip and sneered: "Where is it enough to take eight hundred steps back, it's better to go back to Xijing directly." ” She turned her horse's head and rode away to the north, and only then did Yeluhon look at her back, her lips moving slightly, but finally she did not make a sound.
Behind the couple, further south of that lonely figure, on the side of Tiger Head City, the big war was raging.
The fortified city defense line of Hutou City, which can be called unparalleled in the world, is a boundary separated by yin and yang.
On this defense line in the north, the city wall is five and a half zhang high, and the upper part of the fill layer is capped and compacted with the mortar stirred by tung oil, glutinous rice and lime, and this part alone can be as high as more than zhang, and then built with seven layers of bricks.
On the city wall, in addition to the main arrow tower above the main city gate, there are 12 piers, eight large crossbow platforms, the east and west sections are also built with two corner towers, the Beiliangbian army is known as the two sides of the road and the female wall of the pheasant wall confronts each other in pairs, the tiger head city can be used for archery and the arrow stacks of the lookout are as many as more than 2,000 in total, this is located in the northwestern part of the Liyang Dynasty, even every brick has a seal, clearly mark the name of the kiln factory and the craftsman, in order to prevent the craftsman from dereliction of duty.
And in the north direction of Hutou City, it is subdivided into three city gates, the main gate, the arrow tower and the gate tower, and Liu Jinu, the lord of Hutou City, stands on the top floor of the most towering arrow tower, condescending to overlook the overall situation.
Because of the Hongjia Beiben that brought many scholars and craftsmen to Beimang back then, in the history of warfare, there has never been a nomadic southward raid, and the attack on the city has been so peaking, which can overshadow many native Central Plains dynasties in history.
What's more important is that Beimang has never been so determined to take the initiative to abandon the war horse, and he is still so fierce and not afraid of death after dismounting and fighting.
Hutou City claims to have the richest and most complete reserves in Liyang, and is the largest weapon storage area in Beiliang, but in less than two months of defense, there are more than 4,000 damaged bows and crossbows, half of the crossbow platforms have been destroyed, and more than 20 winches used to store and hold the rings have been destroyed, so that Hutou City has to be replaced with bricks and mud that are greatly reduced.
More than half of the more than 1,000 dead soldiers who climbed the tower by hundreds of ladders in Beimang were killed and wounded, although there were more than 10 dead soldiers who finally climbed to the top of the city during the period, but after all, they still failed to gain a firm foothold, under the root of the city wall, layers of corpses and those who had no time to be dragged out of the battlefield, the former was silent, the latter wailed, their casualties, in addition to the arrows pouring down from the overhead, could also be a country's pot of boiling oil, a body with a rolling, or even a slapstick similar to the sailor's ship battle, a shot can make a ladder instantly shatter, And the sturdy soldiers of Beimang, who were clinging to the ladder, were as fragile as mosquitoes, and were slapped to death on the city wall.
Compared with the generosity of the dead soldiers of the ladder, the giant Beimang archers outside the city in the building caused a loss to the defenders of Hutou City, and the Beiliangbian army had to pay the price of reducing the heavy armor in order to quickly enter the city, the armor on the former was more tenacious and firm, and the back shots of the archers behind the cavalry and shield soldiers on the two wings of the Beimang seemed to be intensive, but unless it was a critical shot, it was not very capable of causing battle damage in the real sense.
But Beimang can almost be called face-to-face close-range flat shooting, especially in the case of everyone being an archer, one by one the defenders of Hutou City were shot through the throat and through the eye socket by an arrow, and even many Beiliang soldiers even penetrated with armor on the spot.
The ladders in the phalanx of foot soldiers are constantly erected on the head of the city, after more than 1,000 lightly armored dead soldiers take their lives to open the way to win time for the rear, Beimang will not give Hutou City the slightest respite, and then soon the iron helmet and chain mail on the head of the Beimang Lux began to brazenly ascend the building, if the first group of dead soldiers are flexible Beimang foot soldiers, then this group of particularly robust foot soldiers can almost be said to change a battlefield at will, wearing heavy armor in the real sense, It is comparable to the kind of heavy infantry of the Central Plains that almost once buried the cavalry in history.
The ascent of these wrestlers to the city, even if the arrows shot down from the top of the city were close at hand, only made them pause slightly when they raised their shields, and occasionally the archers of Bei Liang's amazing strength shot through the shield with an arrow, and the sharp arrows were directly nailed into their arms, and they would definitely not flinch at all.
In the sound of the battle that broke the eardrums, the shield covered by a Beimang Denglou wrestler on the top of his head has been nailed into four or five arrows, he is in the prime of life, is a man from a small tribe in the northern grassland, for him, there is no royal court, what Aquarius, this time the conscription followed the army to the south, just thinking about saving enough military merit during the winter this year, so that his tall son can eat enough meat, and follow him to a higher level of household registration, he hopes that his son will be able to get out of the snowy grassland in the future, has the opportunity to go to the Central Plains of Liyang instead of himself, as for himself, he does not expect to be able to leave the battlefield alive, this tiger head city is too difficult to shake, and it is very different from the rumors when he joined the army, but he does not have the annoyance of being deceived, that is, he died in battle, and that pension is enough to make his son grow up, so that his son can grow up to be a grassland boy who does not lose himself.
Out of the corner of his eye, the wrestler, who was wearing an iron armor and a shield on his head, caught a glimpse of a building being slapped down by the city's head slap pole, the building shook violently, and the top was slapped into a sparse smash, and more than a dozen archers died violently on the spot.
He breathed heavily, gritted his teeth and continued to climb upward, and then instantly broke away from the ladder, not only him, but also the three or four wrestlers behind him.
The next moment, he and the backs of several Northern Mangli warriors almost simultaneously collided with the city wall near the cloud ladder, like a string of poor grasshoppers strung up by ropes, he grabbed the shield and raised his arm to block the top of his head, and sure enough, the next moment there was a light crossbow shooting down from the top of the city.
He knew that the real danger was still to come, and their group was hooking the armor of the flying owls of the Beiliang defenders, this kind of equipment specially used to deal with the big reckless wrestlers was a seven-zhang long iron chain, and there were sharp flying hooks nailed to the iron chain every three feet.
He had seen many wrestlers die tragically under this flying owl, if he hastily unloaded his armor at this time, trying to escape from the city, it was simply unrealistic, he was hanging on top of the iron chain and bowed his head and roared: "Hold on to the sword" The chained flying owl was dragged back by several Beiliang guards at the head of the city, and the iron armor of the four Bei Mangli rubbed against the wall with a snorting sound.
The first of the four to "climb" the head of the city in this embarrassing way, his mind was almost blank, with instinct to turn around and face the city, after he was dragged out of the city wall, holding a shield in front, in an instant the shield was hit by the spearhead, and smashed back into the chest, but just after he tried to swing a knife indiscriminately, above the city, a guard of Bei Liang with a strange straight-handled horizontal knife smashed his head, blood splattered, and he was killed on the spot.
As for the three wrestlers who dragged 6 into the city after his death, they either died under this chopping axe or under the spear, and the corpses were pulled away from the flying owl and pushed down the city wall at will, and then the flying owl was thrown out of the city again.
On the battle line of Tiger Head City, one side is attached to ants, and the other side kills ants, and everyone on both sides is really like ants.
Xu Fengnian, who was deep in the hinterland of the enemy, continued to move forward, like a bamboo.
Invincible, there is no one enemy.
However, Xu Fengnian clearly felt that several clusters of rich qi were coveted by him, and he quietly moved with his figure, these people were undoubtedly Beimang martial arts masters who were waiting for the opportunity, most of them were in the realm of small grandmasters, and two hundred steps away from the distance were hidden two top masters, one King Kong and one Zhixuan.

Xu Fengnian went all the way in a straight line, killing people without any fancy actions, most of them were the spear fairy king embroidered the two tricks of the broken word arc word in the four-character formula, especially the arc gun, which opened and closed, and was most suitable for the chaotic battle of the enemy with a small number of enemies.
But Xu Fengnian, who drove straight in, did not feel the slightest pride, but his mind became heavier and heavier, and he went straight to Dong Zhuo's banner, everyone knows that the role that can really stop his footsteps is a little, only those martial arts masters, ordinary soldiers are meaningless, but the advancement of the Beimang infantry phalanx is meticulous, there is no change, once you unfortunately meet yourself, you will die.
In history, the steppe knights invaded the south, mostly bypassing the dangerous passes and the big towns of Xiongcheng, or they surrounded but did not fight, leaving them alone in the army of iron cavalry and forcing them to surrender.
Rather than fighting the solid defenders on the border, it is better to go around the city and plunder in the hinterland of the city's small walls and low morale.
Although Xu Fengnian knew very early on that Beimang came from the bottom policy, and it was a last resort to take Bei Liang as the first to open the knife, but in the next policy, Dong Zhuo and Taiping Ling were obviously also ambitious, and they wanted to use the 300,000 border troops of Bei Liang as a whetstone, which is just like Xu Fengnian took Tuoba Bodhisattva not long ago to gain momentum.
Once Beiliang fell, Beimang, who seemed to have suffered heavy casualties, could win the most valuable momentum, just like when the Xu family iron cavalry defeated Western Chu, and fought in the West Fortress, and then fought Xishu and Southern Tang, which was just the icing on the cake to clean up the mess.
The key point that makes Xu Fengnian feel heavy is that at the beginning of Beimang, Dong Zhuo Taiping made a few people have this ambition, but with the fierce battle of the two battlefields of Hutou City and Hulukou, the Beimang soldiers have begun to quickly put aside the discomfort of dismounting and fighting, Xu Fengnian took the ghost horse to fight with the Beimang cavalry outside Hulukou, at that time did not see the army led by Tan Tan to attack the city, and was not impressed, only when he was immersed in the scene, he saw their orderly advance and rotation siege, only when he was in the scene, and saw their orderly advance and rotation to attack the city, only now that Beimang's million-strong army pressed the border, the odds of victory are really big.
Xu Fengnian suddenly felt a wave of anger.
There are few people in the narrow land of Beiliang, and every time Qingliang Mountain recruits a little grandmaster, he must use it carefully, even if it is him Xu Fengnian, who refers to the Xuanjing Sword Dao Grandmaster Mi Fengjie, it is also quite polite.
But on this battlefield, there have been several little grandmasters who have died, the three who showed up before, and the two who blocked the road later, and one who was nailed to the spot by throwing an arrow at will.
In the blink of an eye, there were six of them, and on the other hand, in the entire Qingliang Mountain, there were several six little masters who attended together Just when Xu Fengnian was about to kill the hidden masters, those martial arts masters with long qi suddenly withdrew from the battlefield.
Xu Fengnian raised his head and looked, and it turned out to be Dong Zhuo's Southern Courtyard King Banner began to move to the rear.
Lure the enemy deeper Xu Fengnian, who wanted to rush forward quickly, suddenly stopped his figure, and in order to prevent accidents on the battlefield, the cavalry of the two towns of Liu Ya and Poria made corresponding adjustments, once Beimang did not hesitate to surround and kill himself with thousands of iron cavalry, the cavalry of the two towns even prepared the worst plan to enter the battle, and even Liu Jinu made it clear that the cavalry in the city could go out of the city at any time to charge.
Xu Fengnian has always kept his eyes on Hutou City for a while, so he is confident that he will have the ability to leave the battlefield single-handedly, but at this time, Xu Fengnian suddenly has a bad premonition in his heart.
Dong Zhuo's breakthrough, or Beimang's breakthrough, is not Hutou City, not Hulukou, but Liuzhou, which both sides of Beimang initially targeted but tacitly abandoned as the situation changed At that time, he was in danger, and proposed that Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong carry out an amazing strategy, with the big snow dragon cavalry and a genuine heavy cavalry army as the main force, transfer troops on a large scale, eat the gourd mouth led by Yang Yuanzan in one bite, first invite you into the urn, and then catch turtles in the urn.
So is it possible that Beimang will also change his strategy before this, trying to eat Liuzhou in one bite Although Xu Fengnian had already followed the established plan before arriving at Huaiyang Pass, he had asked Chu Lushan to place Kou Jianghuai with the title of Liuzhou general, led 3,000 cavalry troops and 6,000 Liangzhou foot soldiers to aid Liuzhou, and cooperated with 30,000 dragon elephant troops to guard the Liuzhou battlefield where Tuoba Bodhisattva joined the battlefield.
Xu Fengnian stood in place, looking to the west, looking at the distant Liuzhou.
At this time, more than 20 horsemen also followed him, the king of Beiliang, into the battlefield at some point, and everyone took a sword.
For the two horses, it is the sword crown Wu Liuding of the contemporary Wu family sword mound, and the female sword servant Cuihua.
Even if it is to break the formation and kill people, it is difficult to hide Wu Liuding, who is hanging his horse, and he rode to Xu Fengnian's side, and the young swordsman said with a hippie smile: "I don't dare to move forward."
Xu Fengnian was silent, and the sword servant Cuihua, who habitually closed her eyes and recuperated, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Talk about business." ” Wu Liuding was immediately stunned, and said helplessly: "Chu Duhu asked me to give a word, saying that he felt that Dong Zhuo's kid was uneasy and kind, so he had already taken it upon himself to rush to Liuzhou last night with hundreds of guards, but at the junction of Liangliu and Liangliu, he already had 8,000 ambush soldiers there, just waiting for Beimang to come to this hand."
Oh, Chu Duhu also said that those 8,000 people were all thorn-headed people who were urgently brought out from the border armies in various places not long ago, and without him personally leading the troops, no one could control those old soldiers. ” Xu Fengnian laughed heartily without warning, and couldn't stop.
Wu Liuding turned his head to Cuihua and asked, "I'm crazy."
Xu Fengnian finally stopped laughing, looked at the Dong Zhuo banner in the distance due north, and asked with a smile: "Do you dare to break two miles forward with me?"
Wu Liuding said without hesitation: "I'm just a piggyback, don't dare" The female swordsman opened her eyes and said calmly to Xu Fengnian: "Please rest assured that the prince can rest assured." ” Xu Fengnian nodded.
The eight thousand pawns that were put together improvised.
In fact, the Xu family was no longer in the system before it was cold, and even earlier when a fat man rode to open Shu, there was no saying that he was a descendant of soldiers and horses, and he had always fought as many soldiers and horses as the general Xu Xiao gave him, and his subordinates were either the fastest dead in the Xu family's army, or the fastest promoted.
If you have to press the last name, there is barely one, it is a famous battle led by his young soldiers, it was by a river, and the 8,000 cavalry army under his command at that time only survived 400 people.
After Xu Fengnian hereditarily replaced the king of Beiliang, the last time he happened to chat casually with the fat man who served as the protector of Beiliang in Huaiyang Pass, only to know that since the fat man led the troops to fight more than 70 battles of all sizes as the main general, he was barely regarded as a soldier under him and did not die, there are more than 10,000 people left in Beiliang, and the elders have become the heads of the generals' courts, and more are young and strong people in the army in their forties.
That river, if Xu Fengnian is not mistaken, is called the Luoluo River.
Cool Stream borders the border.
A fat man who had just put on his armor and rode on a big horse looked at the cavalry in front of him, the familiar faces, and asked with a loud smile: "Everyone, from a general and a captain or the most unfortunate to a standard commander, how does it feel to become a little soldier under my Chu Lushan again?"
The cavalry burst into laughter.
The fat man smiled and said: "I heard that there are still a lot of people who have rushed from the infantry army to fill the number, my Chu Lushan misses the old, so I won't worry about you, I think for so many years, the bow horse has not fallen too much." ” The knights laughed louder.
The fat man suddenly had a murderous face, and said viciously: "Most of you know an old rule, follow me into battle to kill the enemy, as long as you don't die, you can be promoted when you turn back, this time I will disappoint you, it's hard to say whether you die or not, but even if you don't die, there is no official to be promoted, this time the enemy is Beimang's Dong Zhuo's descendant cavalry, at least 20,000 people, we only have 8,000 people, what to do" There was a solemn silence.
Chu Lushan suddenly hugged his fists and said: "Then please everyone, go with me Chu Lushan and go to the river again." “”:
