Chapter 89 The Battle of Jinyang (25)
At this time, the most fierce soldiers who could still pluck up the courage to charge with Wang Yang were the most fierce soldiers. They followed behind Wang Yang toward the Jin army. At first, they jogged in small steps, but later their speed gradually increased. During the running, they naturally formed a cone with Wang Yang as the tip. Finally, with Wang Yang's roaring wildly, the whole team seemed to be a huge iron vertebrae, rushing towards the Jin army formation.
The first thing they were greeted was the arrows of the Jin army. There were not many archers from the Jin people, and they had only time to scatter dozens of arrows, but Wang Yang and others were almost not wearing armor, and their defense ability against the arrows was close to zero. Therefore, the arrows fell and caused them a lot of casualties.
The second was still dense spears. Wang Yang was extremely disgusted with the tactics of the Jin people. He roared and waved the iron spear to sweep, breaking the spear in front of him, and then flew forward, and a spear pierced a Jin soldier through. However, he used too much force and the spear was stuck in the body and could not be pulled out. At this time, the Jin soldiers in the second row and even the third row immediately stabbed him with more spears. Wang Yang waved the spear hard, threw the body of the Jin soldier out, and dodged repeatedly, retreating in a mess. A spear passed through his forehead, lifting the entire penis, and the tip of the spear cut through the skin on his forehead. A large amount of blood dyed his vision red.
Wang Yang shouted and jumped backward. His movements were so sudden that he knocked down several of his warriors behind him. A Hu warrior located beside Wang Yang immediately filled the vacancy and continued to fight forward. But he had no long weapons in his hand, only a short axe, and swung the blocking, which was no longer threatening the Jin army about a meter away. In the blink of an eye, he was stabbed by three or four long spears at the same time. After struggling for a few times, he died.
More Hu soldiers rushed forward, and their deaths were the same as before.
Sima Rangju said in the military tactics: For battles, one should fight with strength and one should win with energy. It means that the general principle of combat is that if the troops are sufficient, one can last long, and one can win with morale. At this moment, the Huns had neither advantage in military strength and their morale was depressed. Just half an hour ago, the Huns also attacked the Jin people's array so fiercely. But at that time, they were full of energy, and at this time they had already become desperate. Their team seemed to be covered in snow exposed by the scorching sun, melting every minute and every second.
When the sun sets, the overall situation of the war has been settled. Even though the Hu people are brave and are inspired by Wang Yang, they all have the idea of fighting to the death, the battle has not lasted for long. Escape from the sea of fire has exhausted them, and many people have lost their weapons. In this case, facing the Jin army, which is waiting for their leisure and armed to the teeth, will only have one-sided situations. In just half an hour, the Hu people's army was completely defeated.
The Jin army then divided into several groups to wipe out the scattered stubborn anti-Hu people everywhere.
Lu Yao was patrolling the battlefield and heard the sound of fighting not far away. He pulled his horse to see that it was Wang Yang who was still rushing left and right in the Jin army's encirclement, shouting for a fierce battle.
Wang Yang had suffered countless injuries, and he seemed to have become a bloody man from head to toe, which was very terrifying. He didn't know where his spears were thrown, and now he only had an ordinary sword in his hand. Xue Tong and more than 20 soldiers forced him with spears and spears, but it seemed that he could not take it down for a while.
He saw his eyes flashing like lightning, his roaring like thunder, and his murderous aura was like substance. He cut off the spear that was stabbed several times and took the opportunity to suddenly fight near him. Xue Tong shouted repeatedly, and suddenly waved his knife in front to fight him. The two of them frequently defended each other, no matter how they won or lost.
In the battle just now, Wang Yang was extremely fierce and caused considerable damage to the Jin army. Therefore, Lu Yao ordered Xue Tong, who was extremely brave, to go to the enemy. However, he never thought that the battle had no result at this time. It must be that Xue Tong had the idea of sympathizing with each other again, so he did not let the soldiers fight with all their might, and the fight was to drag him down and get exhausted.
Lu Yao sighed softly. He had fought with Wang Yang in front of Tuanbai Valley, and knew that this person was extremely brave and could almost be compared with the champion general Qiao Xi. Xue Tong, Chen Jin and others were not opponents. But no matter how strong he was, he was a bandit who surrendered to the Hu people and killed officials and rebelled. He was not the same as the imperial official army, and it was impossible to recruit him under his command. Xue Tong's deliberate action of keeping his hands was a bit kind.
He frowned and habitually reached out to get the spear placed across the saddle, but suddenly felt the pain of his right arm twitching and his arm could not be lifted. It was not because of the enemy's swords and guns, but because he used too much force while fighting in front of Tuanbai Valley, causing extremely serious muscle contusions. He didn't feel it at all, but now it was painful.
Lu Yao tried again, but still couldn't raise his gun. So he ordered Yicong to call Chen Jin and said, "You help Yicong Lao Xue, don't delay it."
"Yes!" Chen Jin did not hesitate and urged the horse to go.
Chen Jin circled from the side of the battle group. His horse maintained a constant speed and gradually approached with an arc with Wang Yang as the center. At about a hundred steps, he took out an armor-breaking arrow with a cluster of arrows from the quiver and tried his best to drive the three-stone hard bow to full.
He kept his bow and arrow and continued to approach. At about seventy or eighty steps away, he finally looked at it. He shot out an arrow, as if a stream of light hit Wang Yang's chest. The arrow was extremely powerful and instantly broke through Wang Yang's leather armor, penetrated his internal organs, cut off his spine, and saw an arrow from his back.
Wang Yang suddenly leaned back, staggered back two steps, and supported the ground with the tip of the knife. He tried his best to look up, but failed, so he could only shout a few times. Then he slowly sat down and stopped moving.
Lu Yao ignored this place and turned to the direction of the dense forest.
He had sent people to carefully search every corner of the battlefield, identify the appearance of every Hun dead, and even interrogate every captive. But so far, no trace of Shi Le was found. Perhaps this alert Jie people were not in the team that rushed towards him, but were lurking in the dense forest on fire.
The fire in the mountains and forests has not yet been extinguished. As the sky is getting darker, the raging flames that are constantly leaping are becoming more and more powerful. When you get a little closer, you feel the heat waves rolling in. Lu Yao leans over and touches the stream with his hands, feeling that the stream is a little warm.
Such a fire is very, very dangerous even if it is along the stream. Flames, thick smoke, and the lack of oxygen produced by the fire are all fatal.
Lu Yao thought with anticipation that perhaps Shi Le has been buried in the sea of fire? If he could kill a person like Shi Le, it would be much more important than killing hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers. Maybe he could turn the world around and change history.
In Lu Yao's impression, among the countless monarchs of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms, there are many butchers and tyrants, and there are also several heroes, but perhaps Shi Le is the only one who can be called a hero.
This low-born Jie people started from scratch. With extraordinary courage and wisdom, they destroyed all the Han regimes north of the Yellow River in just twelve years. They then defeated the Xiongnu Former Zhao who confronted him, expelled the forces of the Xianbei Dai country, and eventually became the Later Zhao emperor who ruled Hebei, Central Plains and Guanzhong.
Jiehu, a weak nation that was a vassal of the Huns, was unknown before Shi Le, and was soon destroyed by the tide of war among all races.
One person rises and one clan prospers; one person dies and one clan is destroyed. This is truly a hero. But Lu Yao sincerely hopes that this hero will die in the forest fire. Without Shi Le, the Jie Hu among the Five Barbarians would be unable to make trouble. What else can be happier and more exciting than this?
Lu Yao felt sweat oozing from his palms holding the reins.
"General! General!" Chu Kun ran from a distance.
The battle has ended, and the battlefield is being cleaned everywhere and the results are counted. This is the time to redeem the merits, and Lu Yao, as the main general, must be present. Unfortunately, he cannot be sure whether Shi Le is dead. Lu Yao thought with some regrets and turned around.
Roughly estimated the results of the battle just now, and it was about 400 Hu soldiers killed, killing almost the same number as the entire army of our side, and capturing nearly 2,000. This was just a number obtained on the battlefield, and countless enemies were burned to death in the raging fire. This was definitely a rare victory. Even the Battle of Banqiao, commanded by Yue Shigong himself, the results were only like this.
The Tuanbai Valley Pass has been occupied by the Jin army again. A small number of Xiongnu troops trapped south of Tuanbai Valley were surrounded by Lu Yao and Huang Su, and their defeat was a dilemma.
It can be said that after this battle, the power invested by the Huns in the east of Zhaoyuqi was wiped out, and in the short term, the Huns no longer have the ability to launch an attack here. The situation in the entire Taiyuan Kingdom will therefore undergo changes that are conducive to the Jinyang army.
Lu Yao has been in a high state of tension for several days, and has not yet gradually relaxed until now.
Several fierce battles caused him to suffer multiple injuries on his ribs, back, arms and legs, and his blood loss was also severe. He didn't feel it when he was excited, but now he relaxed a little and immediately felt uncomfortable. He barely started to patrol the battlefield. Seeing the surviving soldiers happily packing up the supplies left on the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
This battle was won by the Jinyang Army, and there was no doubt about this. However, the losses caused to our side by successive battles were also heavy. Since the establishment of the Jicheng army, more than half of the army, which had been hard and strictly trained, were killed or injured in just a few days, which made Lu Yao's heart bleeding.
Shi Le, who led thousands of miscellaneous troops, was so difficult to deal with. How difficult would it be to fight against Liu Yuan, the Great Khan of the Huns, who was known for his military use as a god?
What exactly should the Yue Shigong, who led everyone to work hard and create a foundation in Jinyang, do to survive this level?
Even if you win this game, how many times can a mere Jinyang withstand such a battle?
Lu Yao thought casually, many questions emerged in his mind, but there was no answer for a moment. He walked around the battlefield and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

The clicks exceeded 100,000. As a new writer, it is very honored to be able to achieve such results.
I checked the data in Zongheng's library. The collection of "Fufeng Song" ranks 153rd among historical and military works, and the history of the Jin Dynasty is niche, which is indeed the case. What surprised me was that the red tickets of "Fufeng Song" this week and this month were actually ranked among the top ten historical and military works.
Crab deeply understands the support of all readers and friends for me, and thanks everyone sincerely.
