Chapter 543: Destiny
With endless shame and anger, Chao Ketu only felt like a lone wolf because of greed. Every step and every action he took seemed to be carefully planned by others. In the end, he fell into the trap of others step by step.
.
Fortunately, after some struggle, he finally escaped from the trap full of temptation and death. Now he only needs to escape back to the grassland, and he will be safe.
As he galloped along the mountain path, Chao Ketu secretly swore in his heart that as long as he was allowed to return to the grassland, he would pay back the shame he suffered today a thousand times.
"The whole army speeds up. The army must retreat to the grassland before nightfall."
Chao Ketu's roar spread throughout the entire army. The army that had just experienced a major defeat was demoralized. Everyone no longer had the arrogant attitude they had when they marched eastward to Songpan. It was as if their souls had been extracted. They remained silent and lowered their heads.
head, and whipped the horse's buttocks with the whip in his hand.
The dark clouds in the sky were like ink, rolling, roaring, and rushing over. The wind in the mountains unknowingly became more and more violent, whistling, mixed with rocks and soil, and attacked the army. As expected, a
Heavy rain will soon hit the mountains of Songpan.
Chao Ketu raised his eyes and looked at the gradually darkening sky, his eyes full of worry.
"Chuanzhu Temple has arrived!"
Someone in the army shouted something, but the morale of the tired and frustrated army was shaken. After passing Chuanzhu Temple, Songpan Grassland was just around the corner. When we reached the grassland, the sky was high and birds could fly.
The horse seemed to feel the joy of its owner. It felt much more relaxed as its hooves rose and fell, and its mouth and nose seemed to smell the fragrance of the grass and soil on the prairie.
"Enemy attack!!!"
Chao Ketu's heart, which was already relaxed, suddenly became tense again.
"Where is the Han army? Where is the Han army?"
"There are Han troops in front of Chuanzhu Temple, and there are Han troops in front of Chuanzhu Temple!"
Chao Ketu rode his horse and ran up to a high ground on one side. Looking up, he saw four to five hundred Han troops appearing in front of the dilapidated gate of Chuanzhu Temple.
These Han troops had obviously just arrived at Chuanzhu Temple. When they saw a large army of cavalry coming, they hurriedly put down the food they were eating, picked up their weapons, and gathered together. Chao Ketu even saw many soldiers, and even the words in his mouth
The food was not even finished, so he just stood up and lined up while chewing.
A cool feeling instantly arose from the soles of Chaoketu's feet, all the way up to Tianling Gai. There are high mountains on both sides of this place, and there is only a passage from Chuanzhu Temple in the middle. If this passage is blocked by the Han army, then the more than 10,000 troops under his command will
....
Chaoketu no longer dared to think about it anymore. But now, his mind felt clear and he kept thinking about how to deal with it.
Chao Ketu soon gained something. Although the opponent's Han army had begun to gather, the opponent's number was obviously too small. From what he could see, there were only about four or five hundred people in full force. If he was going to come, then Pei Xiaoer had planned it in advance.
, then it is absolutely impossible to have only 500 people. If that is the case, where are the opponent's main forces?
Could it be that these five hundred people are just the vanguard and the rest of the main force has not arrived yet? Thinking of this, Chao Ketu's eyes lit up.
Here is an opportunity. Without enough time to verify what he thought, Chao Ketu is like a gambler who has lost his chips. His only chance now is to bet his life and take a chance on that last chance.
"The whole army is here, kill them! Kill them!"
Let's talk, Chao Ketu also got angry and knocked his legs against the war horse. The horse flew out like an arrow as if it was a psychic. The cavalry behind him was greatly encouraged. Even his sweat was fighting for his life, and he went to the war horse.
What do these people mean when they fight hand-to-hand with the enemy?
At that moment, more than 10,000 remnants screamed strangely, waved their scimitars, and rushed towards the Han army in the distance.
It was Rang Chao Ketu who got the information right. The Han army blocking Chuanzhu Temple at this time was the vanguard sent by Feng Kebin. They traveled lightly, climbed over mountains and ridges, fought through obstacles, and finally arrived at Chuanzhu Temple ahead of the big army.
Originally, their mission was just to open a road for the army, build a camp at Chuanzhu Temple, and prepare for the arrival of the army. However, they never expected that they had just arrived at Chuanzhu Temple, and they happened to encounter the main Mongolian army fleeing hastily.
.
More than 500 people, 553 infantrymen to be precise, blocked the charging path of more than 14,000 Mongolian cavalry. Their figures were as humble as the mantises on the roadside, waving their long arms.
, just about to resist the large car coming like a mountain.
More than 14,000 cavalry charges at the same time, and the momentum is like a stormy wave in the sea with a height of more than a hundred feet. The five hundred infantrymen are like a small boat rising and falling in the stormy waves, and they will be swept away by the huge waves at any time.
Into the bottom of the sea.
Facing death, many soldiers' legs trembled. However, long-term training allowed them to maintain the basic formation, and they still dared to show their long swords when facing cavalry that was a hundred times their number.
At this moment, the dark clouds that had been tumbling for a long time in the sky, with lightning and thunder, could no longer hide their own moisture. After a huge thunder, the big raindrops, like pouring water, crackled.
It smashed down.
In the blink of an eye, there was a heavy rainstorm. The dense raindrops obscured the sight, making the people unable to open their eyes. Even two people facing each other could not see each other's faces clearly.
On the ground, the charging horses were the first to feel the power of heaven and earth. Under the wash of the heavy rain, they became restless and instinctively looked for shelter from the rain.
The cavalry on horseback could only tighten their reins, trying to calm down the horses that were in chaos.
With a rumble, a thunder exploded on the top of a mountain not far away. A giant tree that two people hugged fell to the ground. The fallen tree, wrapped in rocks, rolled chaotically into the valley.
The huge sound completely caused the horse to lose control, and it began to run wildly in the heavy rain. The knight on the horse desperately tried to control the horse, but everything was in vain. The horse, which lost control, began to run rampant.
On the muddy road, people trampled on their backs and trampled on each other.
Chao Ketu, who was charging forward, was rushed by the chaos behind him and fell off his horse. Then, with the help of his bodyguards, he struggled on the muddy land, dodging here and there, and finally found a place.
, avoiding the chaotic war horses.
While breathing, Chao Ketu looked at the chaos in front of him. The knight was thrown to the ground by the horse, and was trampled to death in the muddy water by the panicked horse. Chao Ketu seemed to have been hit hard, and his face was ashen.
, the machete in his hand fell off at some point.
He turned his head to the sky, letting the crazy raindrops hit his face, and cried out in despair to Ketu: "God of longevity, have you also abandoned your beloved people?"
However, facing the Mongolian cavalry, seeing a heavy rain, more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry collapsed on their own. The infantry in front of Chuanzhu Temple could not believe their eyes. It took a long time before someone woke up and exclaimed: "Destiny!
This is the destiny. The destiny is with us, with our Pei family army!"
"Destiny is with the Pei family." With the shouts, the originally simple heavy rain was given an inexplicable and mysterious meaning because of the perfect timing. It also symbolized the passage of an era and the rejuvenation of a race.
