Fifty thousand soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty pursued them all the way, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind. The corpses, flags, and weapons of the Red Turban soldiers could be seen everywhere along the way. They pursued them all the way to the north of Black Que Mountain. The Red Turban army collapsed and more than 3,000 people were killed or wounded.
, watching from a distance that the remnants of the Red Scarf Army were about to flee into the Black Que Mountain Canyon.
Helan Balu, the general of the Yuan army, urgently ordered a pursuit. The military advisor beside him advised: "General, don't pursue the poor enemy. The terrain in the Black Que Mountain Canyon is dangerous and there may be an ambush." Helan Balu did not listen to his advice at this time and was anxious.
He wanted to give the order to continue the pursuit. The military advisor dismounted and grabbed the reins of Helan Baru's horse and urged: "General, our forward troops are more than a hundred miles away from the main force. If something goes wrong in the valley, we will have no way out.
There are no reinforcements."
Helan Balu sighed deeply, but inadvertently saw a chariot among the defeated red scarf soldiers from a distance. A large flag was planted on the chariot, and the word handsome was faintly visible on the flag. Helan Balu did not hesitate anymore.
, kicked the general to the ground, raised his sword and pointed forward, shouting: "Send my order to continue the pursuit. Don't let go of a red-turban rebel, capture Liu Futong alive and kill him." Following this order, he
, fifty thousand horses rushed into the canyon like a tide.
The military advisor got up from the ground and pointed in the direction Helan Baru was leaving and cursed: "Helan Baru, you idiot, 50,000 elite soldiers will destroy you." After saying this, he sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Helan Baru pursued him into the canyon, but before he got halfway, a group of people, about a thousand people, came out of the thorn. Helan Baru thought at first that there was an ambush, and was about to give the order to withdraw from the canyon. He saw the number of these red scarf soldiers.
It's so rare that I can't help but feel brave.
The general leading the Red Scarf Army shouted to the soldiers behind him: "As long as we hold on for half an hour, the Marshal can return to Bozhou City safely. But we will die here. Are you afraid?" This Thousand Red Scarf Army
The officers and men shouted in unison: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The general shouted: "Kill." He led a thousand soldiers and rushed towards the 50,000 yuan soldiers.
Helan Baru sneered: "The mantis is blocking the car." He waved his hand and the deputy general next to him understood. He shouted: "Fire the arrow."
In an instant, flying arrows rained down on the thousands of red scarf soldiers.
When Yuan soldiers stepped on the corpses of these red scarf soldiers, there was a seriously injured red scarf soldier who used all his strength to hug a horse's leg and refused to let go until more than a dozen spears were pierced into his body. Helan Balu again
Without any doubt, he shouted hysterically: "Hurry up, hurry up." It only took the Yuan soldiers less than half a quarter of an hour to wipe out the thousand red scarf troops, so why bother holding on for half an hour? Helan Balu felt that it was really
ridiculous.
In desperation, Helan Balu took the lead and rushed towards the depths of the canyon, followed by a large group of people. Having seen the defeat of the Red Turban Brigade from afar, Helan Balu stepped up his horse riding.
Liu Futong fled to the mouth of the valley with less than 15,000 troops. He looked back at the dust raised by his pursuers and ordered his men to stop the chariot and turn around. All the soldiers around him stopped and looked at Liu Futong.
Liu Futong held Xu Ran in his arms, looked around, and said loudly: "While we were discussing in the council hall, my general Zhang Dakui was severely punished by me for violating my military order. I asked him if he regretted it? He said one sentence, 'For the sake of the people's suffering.
It's no harm to have a thousand swords. Soldiers, in front of us are hundreds of thousands of people in Bozhou, and behind us are soldiers several times our number. I only ask you one question: Do you want to die standing or kneeling?
Are you alive?" Liu Futong's voice echoed like a bell in the distant mountains. Fifteen thousand soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill." His voice was far away and his momentum shook the sky.
Liu Futong drew his sword and pointed at the Yuan soldiers chasing him in the canyon, and shouted: "For the sake of the people's livelihood, kill." The fifteen thousand red scarf soldiers turned around and attacked the Yuan soldiers like fifteen thousand tigers.
.
Helan Baru was chasing when he suddenly saw the Red Scarf Army who had fled in front come back to kill him. He was shocked and hurriedly ordered to stop the advance. At this time, there was smoke from the mountains on both sides, rolling logs and rocks falling rapidly, and arrows raining from the sky.
Like locusts crossing the border, Yuan soldiers fell in pieces like harvested wheat. Helan Balu tried to rush over to protect the general, but was shot into a hedgehog in an instant.
After all, Helan Balu had been on the battlefield for a long time. He hurriedly turned over and hid in the stirrup and hid under the horse's belly. The horse screamed and fell to the ground with at least dozens of arrows stuck in its body. Helan Balu grabbed the dead body next to him.
He put a shield on his head and shouted to the surroundings: "Quickly withdraw your troops." As he said that, he ran towards the north. He finally found a blind corner and hid in it. At this time, a captain ran over from behind and hid in the congratulations.
Lambaru shouted from his side: "General, something bad has happened. When we came to the valley, a large number of red scarf rebels, about ten thousand people, suddenly appeared at the entrance of the valley. We were ambushed."
Helan Balu shouted: "Follow me and fight out." The remaining Yuan soldiers followed Helan Balu and followed him to the rear. Helan Balu and his men rushed towards the road they came from, cutting down dozens of people along the way.
A red-turbaned soldier did not dare to stop when he came out of the valley, and fled all the way to the north. He fled to a mountain ridge, and when he counted the number of people, he found that there were less than a thousand people who followed him out of the siege.
Helan Baru gasped and took a water bag from the soldier, raised his head and drank it fiercely. At this moment, more than ten thousand people roared out of the dense forest deep in the mountain. Helan Baru was almost killed.
Choking on the water, he was stunned and surrounded by the Red Scarf Army. A general from the Red Scarf Army walked out and said: "I am Liu Yu, the vanguard in front of Marshal Liu's tent. Helan Baru still refuses to surrender?".
Helan Baru laughed angrily: "Hahaha, how can we, the descendants of Temujin, surrender to you Han people?" As soon as his laughter subsided, he threw away his water bag, picked up his sword and shouted straight towards Liu Yu.
The rest of the Yuan soldiers followed Helan Balu and rushed toward Liu Yu.
The world is so small, how can there be so many coincidences. Liu Yu said something that Helan Balu once said: "The mantis blocks the car," he waved his hand and shouted: "Shoot the arrow." History repeated itself in an instant, and flying
The locust-like feather arrows killed the thousand-yuan soldiers in an instant.
Liu Yu waited for another hour at Yezhu Ridge. Seeing that no Yuan soldiers escaped, he ordered the troops to retreat.
In this battle, all 50,000 Yuan soldiers and horses in the vanguard were annihilated, and the Red Scarf Army suffered about 5,000 casualties. A large number of ordnance, chariots and horses were seized. Liu Futong stood on a hillside, looking at Mangu's corpses, and ordered: "Clean the battlefield.
, the bodies were buried on the spot and the troops were withdrawn.”
As he spoke, two lines of tears fell from his face full of vicissitudes of life. Liu Futong felt guilty for the sacrifice of a thousand red scarf soldiers to deceive the enemy...
The army returned in triumph. The people of Bozhou City beat gongs and drums, and fired firecrackers. King Xiao Ming discussed his merits, rewarded the dead and wounded, and the soldiers in each military camp were encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted. Da Kui was able to walk freely after a day's rest, although he was injured by the stick.
Not good yet, but at least I can take a walk again. This time I behaved well and put on my armor neatly wherever I went, holding my helmet in my hand.
