At this time, Sun Jian, who was leading his troops on the battlefield, did not know that his love, Lu Fan, had fallen into the hands of an unknown person, nor did he know that the originally advantageous situation was being reversed.
After killing a thief soldier who came up to fight, Sun Jian finally came to Li Duo.
At this moment, Li Duo was already engaged in a bloody battle, and his subordinates had already killed four or five Han soldiers. He was an old thief, and his fighting skills were very superb. In addition, he already had the will to die, and he cut with one knife after another.
They are all trading injuries for death.
Sun Jian was different. Although he was fierce in nature, he was extremely calm when fighting. His sword skills were like an antelope hanging its horns, nowhere to be found. He always took the life of a Taishan soldier at an inadvertent angle.
Armor soldiers are actually most afraid of this kind. People say that the brute strength of the armor-piercing force is the nemesis of armor soldiers, but armor soldiers are also on guard against this kind of thing. But the fast-attacking warriors like Sun Jian are terrifying. He holds the ring head in both hands.
The knife flew up and down, slashed and picked, always piercing through the small gaps in the armor. There was no difference between these armored soldiers in Sun Jian's hands, whether they were armored or not.
Sun Jian's fiery hurricane rolled in front of Li Duo. After seeing such martial arts, Li Duo knew that he was dead this time.
But Li Duo no longer has any fear. After all, so many people have died. Why can’t I, Li Duo, die? If he and his brothers enter the Yin Earth, he will recruit his old troops again and follow Soong Tianda in the Yin Earth.
General, vow to realize the Huangtian era where everyone is equal!
So Li Duo grabbed the knife and rushed towards Sun Jian.
But courage was meaningless under Sun Jian's sword. In just one exchange of blows, Li Duo's left wrist tendon was severed. Then Sun Jian turned around and struck back, directly swung the Huanshou sword and slashed him from top to bottom.
The bloody blade smelled so fishy in the sunlight.
Li Duo closed his eyes and sighed, this must be the smell of death.
But a piercing loud noise brought back Li Duo's consciousness, and in exchange for his life.
When Li Duo opened his eyes, he saw Yan Gang, who was wearing basin collar armor, blocking Sun Jian's slashing blow with a single movement. Yan Gang, who was already as fast as a galloping horse, struck with anger again, knocking off Sun Jian's sword.
Flying.
Sun Jian knew it was bad, and he immediately followed the force of the backward thrust and retreated.
Looking at the cavalrymen with iron helmets and iron faces, Sun Jian felt the pain in his wrists, and his eyes quickly scanned the battlefield. Then he found that the flag representing Lu Fan had disappeared. And more and more enemy armors were coming.
The soldiers had already rushed up.
Sun Jian already had a bad premonition.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the west of the battlefield, and Sun Jian's sense of ominousness became more and more serious. He knew that his side had sent them to carry out the assault mission, so most of the horse soldiers who came to the battlefield were not his own family.
Sure enough, as the horses got closer and closer, the horses of the Taishan Army neighed and whistled loudly in the wilderness. They were telling each other to cheer up, because it was their companions who were running towards them.
Under this situation, the Han army's war horses, which were still high-spirited before, heard the sound and held their breath without making a sound, because they also knew that the ones coming were not their companions. They lowered their heads, neighing, laughing, and crying.
One even bit his master's robe to signal him to leave quickly.
People rely on rational thinking to get out of animals, but from the moment they get out, they also lose the sensitivity of animals.
At this time, the disaster of annihilation came, and most people were unaware of it. A small number of people prayed that they were their own allies. As for those who wanted to leave, they saw that the robes were not moving and did not dare to move.
In this way, everyone passively awaits the arrival of fate.
"Hulonglong..."
"Bang, bang, boom..."
The sky suddenly became overcast with clouds, and day turned into night in the blink of an eye.
The low-hanging lead clouds got lower and lower. In the thick clouds, winter thunder exploded, and the whole atmosphere was terrifying and depressing.
Then finally when the east thunder exploded, the cavalry regiment to the west finally showed its face.
"Dragon Rider!"
Looking at the cavalry holding the flying dragon flag high, everyone in the Taishan Army was moved to tears.
The Flying Dragon Rider is none other than the Flying Dragon Rider General Li Huzhi's Five Hundred Riders.
This cavalry army had been cruising in the upper reaches of Qishui River and constantly harassed the Han army's Qishui camp. However, as the Han army deployed more and more troops in the upper reaches, the battle barriers became more and more intensive.
, Li Hu could only take Feilongqi back to the east bank of Qishui and lay dormant.
When Sun Jian was sneaking along the foothills with 1,200 riders, Li Hu's flying dragon riders did not notice them because they were far away.
But how can we really cover up the whereabouts of the 1,200 riders? The horse manure piles up into mountains every day, not to mention the horse hoof prints all over the frozen soil.
So Li Hu's troops soon learned that a Han cavalry had sneaked into the rear of the Taishan Army. Li Hu initially ordered Le Jin to send the news to Ding Sheng in the camp on the north bank of Qishui.
Because Le Jin had the merit of seizing the gate when Yecheng was captured, he was later promoted to Zuo Shijiang, also known as the chief Shijiang. Next, if he can make a few more contributions, he can become a team general. It can be said that the future is unlimited.
.
Ding Sheng obtained Li Hu's intelligence and quickly sent flying cavalry from the army to investigate the rear, but did not find the so-called lurking enemy cavalry.
After Li Hu learned of Ding Sheng's reward, he was not happy at all, but was shocked because he knew that the cavalry might really attack Yecheng.
How dare they?
But then more and more military reports were placed in front of Li Hu, and he realized that the opponent really dared.
Therefore, Li Hu did not hesitate and led the entire army of five hundred flying dragons to quickly return to Yecheng for reinforcements. They followed the traces left by the cavalry and pursued them all the way, finally arriving at the battlefield at this moment.
At this time, under the huge flying dragon, Li Hu's forehead was dripping with sweat. It was obvious that they had been chasing him hard all the way.
Li Hu was about to order an attack.
Wang Dang, the military deputy next to him, stopped him and suggested:
"General, when we arrive on the battlefield, we are actually already blunt. It is not appropriate to throw troops into the battlefield immediately. Instead, it is better to stay on the edge of the battlefield to form a deterrent to the enemy, so that our army can be repaired."
Wang Dang was the retinue who led his armored troops to surrender when Zhang Chong killed the mighty Wang Kuang of Mount Tai in battle. Later, Wang Dang was transferred to the Tuqi Army and was promoted to his current position as military deputy.
And because of the outstanding performance of the Flying Dragon Cavalry in the Qishui Battle a few days ago, Wang Dang finally passed the most critical hurdle, the change from deputy to chief general.
You know, a person who can achieve a position through hard work may be a military deputy. Anyone who can become a chief general must have someone above him with a background.
Because generals have very high independent command authority, which is the dream of all middle and low-level military officials, but the position of generals is limited. Unless the original general is promoted, dies in battle, retires due to illness, or the army expands, otherwise a deputy general
No matter how many military achievements he has, he can only endure it for now.
After all, the Taishan Army at this time is different from the past. In the past, there were few military officers and many positions. As soon as the merit was achieved, they were promoted immediately. But now, the Taishan Army has grown to one of the top forces, and its sphere of influence
From Qingzhou to Yanzhou to Hebei, it runs up and down the river.
When this force becomes large, it will have a system, and with a system, there will naturally be ranking based on seniority and climbing the lattice. These are things Zhang Chong does not want to see, but they are things he cannot change.
But fortunately, he still had his own subjective opinion. After knowing that Wang Dang had achieved full military merit, Zhang Chong specifically ordered the selector Cao to promote Wang Dang to the position of general.
Wang Dang had already carried the letter of appointment with him, but because he wanted to pursue the Han army this time, he followed Li Hu back to the army.
Now, Wang Dang advised Li Hu not to join the battlefield for the time being, but to shock him at the edge of the battlefield first.
Li Hu squeezed the whip tightly to see if he had fallen out with Wang Dang.
Li Hu has a temper that is very difficult to get along with. To put it bluntly, he has a violent temper that is merciless and prone to whipping. When he leads troops to fight, what he wants is to give orders and prohibitions, and he always says exactly what he says.
As soon as he was about to order an attack, Wang Dang dared to object. With Li Hu's past methods, he had already whipped him down. But Li Hu held back, and the reason why he was able to hold back was not complicated.
One is that Wang Dang is no longer his deputy in the military position, but the same rank. The other is that he knows that the person who selected Wang Dang as a general is General Chongtian.
Li Hu is fierce, but he is not stupid. Although he is Zhang Chong's seventy-five-year-old brother, he never dares to give orders because of this, at least he will not let Zhang Chong know about it.
Because Wang Dang had Zhang Chong as his backer, Li Hu held back no matter how dissatisfied he was.
However, although Whip held back, Li Hu still replied coldly:
"You are already the commander-in-chief of another department. I, the Flying Dragon Army, don't need you to worry about it."
After saying this, Li Hu ignored Wang Dang, blew the sound of the attacking magic conch, and then led his cavalry to launch a swift and violent attack on the Han army, leaving Wang Dang with an ugly face.
Wang Dang's decision cannot be said to be wrong, and Li Hu's decision is not without risks. After all, with the Feilong Army's current physical strength and horsepower, it is possible to make a mistake if they rush into the formation now.
But Wang Dang still failed to take into account the psychological state of the Han army at this time. At this time, the Han army was already feeling quite uneasy. In fact, the fear in their hearts was their biggest pressure.
If Li Hu listened to Wang Dang's suggestion and first slowed down the army on one side, then with the will of Sun Jian and others, the morale of the entire army could be unified quickly.
When those Han soldiers saw that the Taishan Army did not attack even though they had superior strength, they must have known that these so-called enemy reinforcements were of such good quality that they might really be able to make a comeback.
But things were different now. As soon as Li Hu and his army arrived, they immediately launched an all-out attack on Faluo, which was overwhelming in terms of momentum.
The Han army couldn't figure out the number of reinforcements, and when they saw such a crazy attack from the opposite side, they became timid. So, after Li Hu led his army to attack, the Han army's elegy was played.
…
Sun Ben was very scared.
He discovered that the battlefield was not a safari in his hometown, and these Taishan troops were not the weak Shanyue. Their knives were sharper, their armor was thicker, and their fighting spirit was sharper.
But these are not the source of Sun Ben's fear.
At this time, he looked desperately at a burly and gigantic cavalryman, who was holding a huge ax high and striking at his neck amidst the blast of winter thunder.
"Crack, crack."
Amidst the bursts of winter thunder, the cold winter rain finally poured down.
Sun Ben was kneeling on the ground, his face covered in blood, and he raised his head and let the cold icy rain hit his face. At this time, his entire right shoulder was drooped.
In the first round of collision with the giant axe-wielding cavalryman on the opposite side, Sun Ben's right hand holding the knife was completely broken. He was also taken away from the horse and fell apart on the frozen soil.
.
To be honest, even though Sun Ben is only sixteen, perhaps the generation of his old Sun family has really begun to flourish. The Sun family's children have grown up, and many of them have shown extraordinary martial prowess at a young age.
For example, Sun Ben was left at home at the age of 12 by members of the Sun clan and taken into the mountains, where he killed Shan Yue with his own hands. After opening the knife with Shan Yue, Sun Ben killed at least forty Shan Yue in just four years.
It can be described as a moment of courage.
But on this day, he desperately discovered that the killing skills he had trained in slaughtering Shanyue were a joke in front of the giant man in front of him.
The icy rain hit Sun Ben's face and washed away the blood stains on his face. He looked at the huge sweat calmly and said:
"Good man, I, a descendant of the Sun family, can die and I am not afraid of death. But please allow me to die facing the direction of my hometown. Please."
After speaking, Sun Ben buried his head on the ground and begged the giant man.
The giant man holding the ax is none other than Xu Huang, the general of Feilong Army.
At this time, he looked at the solemn request of the young general in front of him and agreed without much hesitation. Because on the battlefield at this time, after the Feilong Army joined the battlefield, the Han army had collapsed across the board, and people were chasing people everywhere.
Xu Huang was naturally not in a hurry to kill the person in front of him.
In the Han Dynasty, not long after the ancient times, certain ancient customs still existed, and righteousness was still emphasized.
Righteousness has become an important code of conduct since the beginning of writing. From the emperor to the common people, righteousness has always been applied to all levels of society, whether in the Shang, Zhou or Qin and Han Dynasties.
Just because righteousness has been told since the third generation that it comes from heaven, and it is the reward and punishment of heaven for the words and deeds of all peoples in the world. It is said that if you comply with righteousness, you will live long, and if you are unjust, you will die prematurely.
It is this reverence for righteousness that the entire society pays attention to and maintains this ethical order.
At this time, Sun Ben's dying request was the righteousness of a warrior. Xu Huang, as a warrior, naturally respected it in his heart.
So with Xu Huang's consent, Sun Ben sat north and faced south, facing his hometown in Jiangdong. With tears in his eyes, he murmured:
"This year, it seems that the bass in my hometown will lose a share of my Sun Ben."
After saying that, Xu Huang aimed at Sun Ben's neck and swung it down. But just when the edge of the ax was about to touch Sun Ben's neck, Xu Huang stopped abruptly. He said to the two approaching guards:
"Capture this man, he is a man."
When Sun Ben heard these words, he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, and his face was filled with tears mixed with the ice rain. He faced the direction of his hometown and kowtowed heavily.
Because he knew that from now on, he would never be able to return to his hometown again.
When Sun Ben was tied up and sent to the fortress, the outcome of the entire battlefield was decided. The Han army continued to flee to the southeast, which was the only way to survive on the entire battlefield.
To the north is the glacier, to the east is the Feilong Army, to the south is the armored soldiers of Zhang Zhen’s tribe who are surrounding them, and only to the southeast is there no one. So more and more Han troops abandoned their helmets and armor, whipped their horses and fled.
But while they were running away in a hurry, a horseman came upstream. He was Sun Jian.
