Lu Xiang felt a stinging pain in his chest, and his heart skipped a beat.
At this time, the soldiers on the chariot also saw Lu Xiang hit by an arrow and were shocked.
He quickly greeted two people, dragged Lu Xiang to the car, and then began to remove his armor quickly.
Fortunately, Lu Xiang was fine.
The armor-piercing arrow penetrated Lu Xiang's outer armor, but was stopped by the chainmail he wore inside. When the arrow broke through Lu Xiang's inner lining, it lost all kinetic energy.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiang's soldiers visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xiang himself also cheered up and cursed with a smile:
"Damn it, Mr. Hana jumped."
After saying that, Lu Xiang asked them to put on his armor, and he wanted to continue to command.
When Lu Xiang stood on the chariot again, he found that the situation was not optimistic, and many soldiers in the front camp had fallen.
It is true that even Lu Xiang's armor was pierced, not to mention the armor of the front camp officials, and they did not have chain mail inside.
Who would have thought that the Huns also had armor-piercing arrows.
But at this time, the resilience of the Taishan Army was revealed.
Even though there were continuous arrows falling to the ground around them, the remaining ones were still collecting arrows. The medical soldiers at the rear braved the rain of arrows to drag down the injured people who had fallen to the ground.
For a while, the war became very boring. Both sides gritted their teeth like this, you shoot yours, and I shoot mine.
Gradually, the advantage began to shift to the Taishan Army.
Originally, infantry shooting was more accurate than cavalry shooting, and the longbows used by longbowmen had a longer range. For a while, the Huns' cavalry kept falling off their horses, and countless horses also fled in panic because of being hit by arrows.
After a while, a sharp golden sound came from the Hun cavalry on the opposite side.
These Huns are running away.
Seeing this trend, Lu Xiang yelled:
"Tell that boy Xia Houlan to quickly bring me cavalry to bite them."
As soon as he finished saying this, Lu Xiang had an arrow stuck in his shoulder.
After receiving the order, the flag bearer first glanced at Lu Xiang worriedly, and then began to pass the flag message when he saw that the captain was fine.
This flag bearer has rich experience and high psychological quality.
Even though arrows were flowing at this moment, he still clearly passed Lu Xiang's military order to the cavalry commander Xia Houlan.
Xia Houlan was Zhao Yun's companion. He joined the army under Zhao Yun's influence after the Taishan Army reached Changshan.
Later, he was assigned to the rear army system and was under the command of Colonel Lu Kuang. Because Xiahou Lan was outstanding in cavalry and archery, he was promoted to the Cavalry General of the Colonel's headquarters and was in charge of the headquarters' 200 cavalry.
Since the beginning of the war, Xiahoulan had been paying close attention to Lu Kuang's side. At this moment, he suddenly saw the flag signal from the Chinese army for a cavalry attack, and was overjoyed.
He waved his horse and shouted with his horse:
"kill!"
The two hundred knights who were waiting followed him and rushed towards the retreating Huns cavalry.
The war horses were galloping and the sound of breaking through the air was urgent. The 200 cavalry troops who had been recharging their strength for a long time were like wild horses that had escaped the reins and were unstoppable.
By this time the Huns' front had collapsed.
In the final analysis, these people's training time is too short, so they look like the Han army, but in fact they are still the past style.
That is to say, if you fail in one attack, you will be able to flee thousands of miles.
But the problem was that the Taishan Army also had cavalry. When the Huns lost their fighting spirit, they were directly hacked to death by the Taishan Army knights who caught up.
As a result, the Huns could no longer control them and fled in all directions.
In this way, Lu Xiang ended the encounter and won.
However, when he led his troops to Yanmen Pass, he always felt that he had forgotten something.
…
Still behind that slope.
Sun Yu couldn't help it anymore, he said to Xu Sheng:
"Old Xu, do you think the captain has forgotten us? Otherwise, why hasn't the military order been issued yet?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but kill a flying insect.
This thing kept buzzing around him, making him upset.
Xu Sheng was also upset. He suddenly realized something, that was, only his team of ten people had been on this road, and now these people were here with him. How could the captain find him? They couldn't find him.
What kind of destiny do you want to pass on to yourself?
Confused, he glanced at Wang Yi who was tied to the wheel.
This guy is also a coward. He gave up all of them without resorting to any tricks. What about sending an envoy to the Tuoba tribe, and what is the agreement with the Tuoba tribe?
Xu Sheng hated three types of people in his life, one was the cowards, the next were the people from aristocratic families, and the last was the rats who colluded with the barbarians.
And Wang Yi, who is still alive and well, has taken all three.
Therefore, this person was very unlucky to fall into Xu Sheng's hands.
Xu Sheng was so upset that he wanted to beat Wang Yi to relieve his anger. Anyway, he had nothing to do.
Just as he stood up and walked towards Wang Yi, the man suddenly said this:
"I heard that your lord admires Xun You very much."
Xu Sheng tilted his head and looked at Sun Yu, their eyes were a little strange. Why did this man suddenly say this?
But since this person asked, Xu Sheng had no choice but to say:
"Indeed, although we have never met this man, we heard that the king appreciates him very much. What's the matter? Do you still know Mr. Xun?"
Who would have thought that Wang Yi would really nod:
"Yes, Mr. Xun and I are old acquaintances in Kyoto, so..."
As soon as Xu Sheng heard these words, he knew what the second half of the man was talking about, so he interrupted quickly:
"Okay, okay, you have a close relationship with aristocratic families like you. But don't think that just because you know Mr.
You're welcome, but if you want to play tricks, just take a look."
Wang Yi nodded and said eagerly:
"Of course, of course I know this. I just want to ask why Mr. Xun was able to have dignity when he was captured, and even be reused after surrendering. Why didn't Mr. Xu give me such an opportunity? I will have one or two achievements in the future.
I will never forget your kindness."
Xu Sheng laughed loudly, pointed at Wang Yi and teased Sun Yu:
"Old Sun, look at it. Is this the saying 'good birds choose trees to roost in?' Now everyone really wants to join our Taishan Army. It seems that our Taishan Army has really risen."
The more he spoke, the angrier Xu Sheng became. He pointed at Wang Yi’s face and cursed:
"You are like a man who has forgotten his ancestors and wants to join our Taishan Army? I think you are an old bird paired with a phoenix. You are wishful thinking."
After saying this, Sun Yu was stunned for a moment, as Lao Xu kept repeating his little words.
But Wang Yi was very embarrassed and asked:
"How can I be so virtuous and capable? I have forgotten my ancestors in countless canons? What do you think I did when I went to the Tuoba tribe? Not to mention that I was ordered to do so, but even if I went, I would represent the Han Dynasty to recruit these Xianbei barbarians. They were just traitors.
The blood belongs to my Han Dynasty, why should I betray the Han Dynasty?"
Xu Sheng choked for a moment, and finally became a little impatient:
"No matter how much you say, it's useless. Mr. Xun is a wise man and has made great contributions to our Taishan Army. What do you have?"
But Wang Yi was just waiting for this sentence. He said to Xu Sheng seriously:
"Xu Jun, I am also a wise man, and I can also make great contributions to your army."
Looking at Wang Yi's eyes, Xu Sheng suddenly understood what this man was going to say.
This kid had been working for a long time, and it turned out that he wanted to surrender to him, and it was obvious that he was going to sell someone. At this time, Xu Sheng had only one thought, these people from the aristocratic family were really roundabout.
But after he cursed this, his heart felt hot.
Because he had a premonition that Xu Sheng might really gain momentum this time.
At this time, the men who were investigating Yanmen Pass retreated, and they brought Xu Sheng this news:
"The gate of Yanmen Pass ahead is wide open, and the bandit army may come out in full force. The light cavalry army may not have two or three thousand riders."
Xu Sheng was overjoyed and looked back at Wang Yi. He was listening to this person:
"Xu Jun, do you still believe what I said that I can make a great contribution to your army? I just don't know if Xu Jun dares to take on this great contribution?"
Hearing this, Xu Sheng fell silent. This was a big gamble.
Then, he glanced at the brothers around him. From their eyes, he saw trust, support and unabashed ambition.
In the end, Xu Sheng looked at Wang Yi and said word by word:
"What am I afraid of? Anyway, you remember, we share the merits and bear the misfortunes together."
This was said politely, but with murderous intent.
…
On the military road northwest of Hengshan Mountain, a large number of cavalry are running, and a similar number of infantry are running.
At that time, General Gai Xun of Liao Dynasty was stationed with several cavalry officers to drink water.
A sentry rider ran up ahead. When he arrived, he did not dismount. He just held the horse's head and shouted:
"General, the front army has met the enemy at Sanggan River."
Gai Xun wiped his lips and hummed:
“Is it still the enemy army with the ‘Lu’ flag?”
The sentry knight replied loudly:
"Yes."
At this time Gai Xun thought about it and suddenly asked another thing:
"We sent out sentries towards Pingcheng, but still found no trace of the Taishan Army?"
The sentry knight nodded.
Gai Xun was puzzled for a while and said to Xia Huan, the cavalryman next to him:
"You said this is strange. Then the Taishan Army doesn't really think that they want to take over Yanmen Pass with thousands of people, right? Even if they want to show weakness and transfer me out of the pass, they have to have a back-up
The main force, right? But now there are sentries and cavalry everywhere, but there is no trace at all? Is the Taishan Army really so arrogant?"
This Xia Huan was the son of the veteran Xia Yu. Gai Xun had an encounter with them in Liangzhou. Later he came to Bingzhou to form the shogunate and specially transferred Xia Huan.
At this time, Xia Huan was also suspicious, and he asked:
"General, do you think they are lurking in the mountains?"
Gai Xun shook his head and did not agree with this guess:
"No, you and I have stayed in Yanmen for so long, and you know whose property those mountains are now. If the Taishan Army was lurking in the mountains, those Taiyuan powerful people would have tipped me off long ago. These people are really jealous
颟顸, but who can underestimate them?"
When Xia Huan heard this, he thought it made sense. But then, he couldn't think of any other explanation.
Gai Xun snorted:
"Forget it, if you can't figure it out, let's stop thinking about it. Let's eat what's in our mouths first and talk about it later."
Therefore, Gai Xun ordered all the troops to speed up. He wanted to devour the Taishan army that came forward.
But when he was galloping, he suddenly got excited and shouted:
"not good!"
Xia Huan and other generals behind him were shocked and hurriedly controlled their horses, not knowing what was happening.
