Chapter 175 Retreat
[]
Xu Huai and others intercepted cavalry like a god of killing on the hillside, and the enemy soldiers on the top of the slope could see clearly.
At this time, they were surrounded by the remaining Western troops on both sides, and they could not avoid it. Seeing Xu Huai and others wearing heavy armor, holding heavy weapons such as slashing, modao, long-handled axe coming up, they immediately filled in more people to the south, hoping to encrypt the formation and resist the impact of these killer gods.
However, the fatal disadvantage of the Slooping Capitols is the lack of heavy weapons.
They didn't even have a long-handled heavy weapon to restrict Xu Huai and others from getting close to, and they couldn't even penetrate the iron armor even when riding a bow. They were also stared at by the archers on both wings, which was doomed to their defeat.
The round light shield they held was made of wooden boards wrapped in cooked cowhide, with a diameter of slightly more than one foot, and can only withstand the slash of ordinary swords; even if it is used to cover arrows, the area is relatively small, which cannot cover the main part of the trunk, and it is even more difficult to withstand the slash of heavy weapons.
Niu Er raised a heavy shield and slapped forward. The enemy soldiers could not resist it alone, and two or three people could raise their shields to block it. However, the enemy soldiers had no long soldiers to restrict Xu Huai from approaching. Xu Huai raised his sword and slashed each sword. Each sword carried a thousand pounds. How to resist the light shield with skin?
Each heavy slash was split with shields and people, and eight slashes were cut by eight slashes, killing eight people. No matter how fierce the enemy soldiers were, they were killed in the blink of an eye: This is the god of killing coming to the world! The brave soldiers of Chihu were actually like paper in front of this man?
There were Wang Xian, Yan Xiaoyi, Yuan Lei, Niu Er and others on the side of Xu Huai to protect each other and advance and retreat together. The enemy soldiers could not rely on the large number of people to rush forward to siege and kill and restrain them.
On a larger scale, more than a hundred enemy soldiers were tightly clamped by the remnants of the Western Army on both wings, and they could not fully expand the lineup and organize more people to fight Xu Huai and others from all directions, or engage in wheel-style battles.
They could only watch their dense formation, and Xu Huai was cut a gap in the blink of an eye.
The enemy soldiers were killed by Xu Huai. At this time, Niu Er relied on his natural brute force to lift a heavy shield and rushed forward. The resistance they encountered was much smaller, and he further tore the enemy's formation, aggravating the opponent's chaos.
Wang Xian, Yan Xiaoyi, Yuan Lei and others did not have the courage to split the mountains as if Xu Huai was as strong as slashing mountains. However, after the enemy's soldiers were in chaos and the cooperation and defense was difficult to be tight, the killing efficiency of the gun and spear in their hands was not necessarily much slower than Xu Huai.
Although the remnants of the Western Army on both wings were unable to attack, they saw that the enemy soldiers on the top of the slope were actually killed by Xu Huai and became chaotic. Of course, they also knew that there was a good opportunity to beat the dogs in pain. They immediately roared and pushed the enemy soldiers on the top of the slope with dense formations, which made the enemy soldiers on the top of the slope more and more crowded and chaotic. A bunch of arrows shot out, and the sword spear slashed and stabbed them sharply, and soon cut open the hundred enemy soldiers completely.
…………
…………
The remaining soldiers of the Western Army on both wings were not in charge of each other before, and they gathered together on the way to escape, so it was naturally impossible to cooperate. Especially after killing the uphill top and cutting the enemy soldiers, some chaos was inevitable - many enemy soldiers took this opportunity to break through the encirclement.
Not to mention that there are nearly 400 enemy cavalry supporting the periphery, considering that larger-scale Red Hun cavalry could come at any time, Xu Huai could not waste time dividing his troops to chase and kill these enemy soldiers who fled to the periphery.
It was thankful that the remnants of the Western Army had a chance to breathe. At this time, I was even more satisfied to see that I could kill sixty or seventy enemy soldiers on the top of the slope.
"The enemy cavalry has not rushed over again. It is obvious that there are still a large ambush in the mountains in Shuozhou." Liu Yan glanced at Wang Qiu, who was walking towards him with a long iron spear. He did not mention the topic of being sensitive to both sides, but asked Xu Huai how to make arrangements next. "Although this scares the three or four hundred enemy cavalry in front of him and wins some respite, it will inevitably attract more Red Hun cavalry to surround him..."
Chen Yuan walked over with a pair of iron halberds, and looked at the Chihu cavalry on the periphery worriedly.
Although they had solved nearly a hundred enemy soldiers in just one stick of incense, and only a dozen of them suffered varying degrees of injuries. Such a record could inspire the morale of the soldiers below, Chen Yuan and Liu Yan knew very well that under what advantages they had in order to achieve such a result so easily.
Among the 300,000 generals in the Western Army, there were not many brave men like Wang Ju and Xu Huai.
More than a hundred enemy soldiers faced two such brave generals at one time. Liu Yan and Chen Yuan both suspected that Wang Ju and Xu Huai alone could fight in and out of more than a hundred enemy soldiers.
What's more, Wang Ju and Xu Huai were all powerful.
With such a luxurious lineup, leading 300 remaining troops from the Western Army, and 200 elite soldiers of Tongbai Mountain set up ambush in advance to encircle and annihilate nearly 100 enemy soldiers. What are you proud of?
How many luxurious lineups can be formed in the entire Dayue?
The most important thing about Chihu people this time was that they did not expect to encounter such a fierce enemy. Without preparing for a long-standing soldier, strong armored invasion bow and crossbow, they easily dismounted and formed a formation, so they were pressed from beginning to end.
If these more than a hundred enemy soldiers did not dismount and fight, it would be difficult for them to surround more than a hundred enemy soldiers. If these more than a hundred enemy soldiers were equipped with long and strong armor, if they wanted to fight for force, the casualties would definitely not be light.
It was just that when I thought about this, Liu Yan and Chen Yuan knew more clearly that they were still far from safely escaping at this time.
Next, as long as more than a thousand enemy cavalry gathered after hearing the news, it would become difficult for them to move outside Jingong Mountain. If they were completely held in Jingong Mountain, it would be difficult for them to go to Shuozhou City.
"It can attract more Chihu cavalry to surround me, okay! It is said that Chihu cavalry scattered across the desert, swept across the east and west for decades, and hundreds of thousands of Khitan cavalry were destroyed and annihilated. I believe that there are many masters in Chihu's army with superb martial arts than in the Central Plains. However, I have not yet encountered an enemy who can really fight with me - I wonder if I can encounter a happy battle between one and two people before returning to Shuozhou,"
Xu Huai is standing at the sabre, looking at the blockbusters gathered in the distance, smiling faintly, looking at Chen Yuan and Liu Yan, asking,
"What, Liu Junhou and Chen Junen have already met the master Chihu to kill him. Are you anxious to go to Shuozhou?"
Liu Yan wanted to laugh at himself and said that they were afraid of being killed, so they might not be satisfied. But when he saw Xu Huai standing with his hips on his hips and staring at the crowd, he suddenly realized how Xu Huai was talking about the martial arts at this critical moment. It was because he and Chen Yuan had escaped all the way. His mentality was like a dog that was straying, which had unconsciously affected others. Xu Huai was awakening them.
Although the deep sense of powerlessness and frustration in my heart could not be easily erased, Liu Yan suddenly realized that his and Chen Yuan's mentality had a great impact on the morale of the remaining soldiers. He cheered up and breathed a long sigh, saying: "It is true that attracting more Red Hun cavalry can fight a few more quickly!"
After hearing what Liu Yan said, Xu Huaicai took his gaze from a distance, looked at Liu Yan, Chen Yuan and many Western Army generals who were unable to completely get rid of the shadow of defeat, and said:
"The Chihu people invested limited troops on the western wing. To attract more Chihu cavalry, it means that in other directions of the battlefield in the west wing, the Chihu cavalry would be less, and it would be more beneficial for the generals of the Western Army to move to Shuozhou and Xishan! Of course, don't think we will be in trouble. After the Chihu people shamelessly tore up the alliance and declare war, Shuozhou was unable to rush to Datong to reinforce the Xiaosheng Army and Xuanwu Army, but he still smuggled thousands of cattle and sheep and thousands of stones of rice and wheat into Jingong Mountain in time. The Chihu cavalry was strong and strong, with many people, but so what? We hid in Jingong Mountain,
We don’t have to worry about eating, drinking, defecation and urination for a year. The Red Hu cavalry can still get into the mountains and bite our eggs? In the battle just now, I just tried my best to tell everyone that the Red Hu people are actually just like this. We don’t have enough war horses, and it is very difficult to compete with them in the wilderness of a flat horse; we are far from Chi Hu’s movement. We must admit these shortcomings, and we must play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, but we have entered Jingong Mountain and have a chance to go to the West Mountain. If the Red Hu people dare to get off their horses and crawl into the mountains, we will not be able to teach them how to be human? If you don’t believe it, the Tongbai Mountain soldiers can continue to do it for you to show them!"
Seeing that everyone quickly cleaned up the battlefield, Xu Huai envoys Liu Yan and Chen Yuan first led the remnants of the Western Army to retreat to the valley to the north to meet with Lu Xiong, Zhu Zhi and others, and seized the time to rest.
Xu Huaize, Wang Ju, Xu Xin'an, Yin Peng and others led 200 soldiers from Tongbai Mountain behind the palace.
The enemy cavalry became cautious and no longer easily approached and entangled. Xu Huai and the others had no chance to hunt the enemy soldiers, but they also easily retreated to the valley.
The entrance to the valley is very narrow, with a steep slope on the north side. Tongbai Mountain guards guard the entrance of the gorge, which is a very safe temporary wall camp.
There was also hot water and sufficient dry food in the camp. After more than 300 remnants of the Western Army who had been tossing a day and a night, they settled down at this time. Although there was no tent, everyone got a felt blanket. Most of them wrapped the felt blanket and lay down under the cliff and fell asleep directly.
Liu Yan and Chen Yuan were already with Lu Xiong and Zhu Zhi at this time. When they saw Xu Huai and the others retreating back to the valley, they met Lu Xiong and Zhu Zhi.
"You should hurry up and eat something. You have to fight out when it's dark. You can't let the captains go to An Ning!" Xu Huai called Xu Xin'an, Yin Peng, Wang Xian and others to take their troops down to rest. He invited Liu Yan and Chen Yuan to accompany them to sit down on the ground and talk.
The remnants of the Western Army were surrounded by their side before. If we really wanted to explain the bad situation we were facing, it would only hurt morale more. But at this time, we had to explain some things to Liu Yan and Chen Yuan:
Chapter completed!
