Chapter 1,285: Drive the enemy into the forest and burn it with fire
Murong Rou was shocked: "Why don't we escape into the jungle on the side?"
Murong Sheng slapped Murong Rou on the head hatefully: "My uncle, why are you so stupid? Now they are surrounded by three people and one is missing. They want our people to escape there. It is a thorny land with barbs everywhere.
The cavalry will die if they go in, not to mention they must be ambushing inside, pretending to be dead here, there is still a way to survive."
As he spoke, he lay down on the ground, wiped two handfuls of blood on his face and body, and lay down next to a horse corpse. Murong Rou also woke up from a dream and fell down with him. Between the two of them "
"Besides the corpse", hundreds of Xiyan Army cavalry who were still alive had begun to turn around and escape into the thorny bushes.
The Xiyan cavalry who had just crowded the entire flat battlefield just now, except for the few hundred who were fighting with the Beifu Army soldiers in front, had all fled towards the bushes on the other side. They did not know that the enemy troops were there.
How many, I don't know the situation of the battle ahead, I only know that I was suddenly attacked, smoke and dust were everywhere on the battlefield, even the first-line people who came into contact with the Beifu Army did not know the strength of the opponent, and they could only vaguely see countless figures coming from
He Zhong stood up, and then got into his own formation like a ghost. Next, the men and horses in the front row fell one by one. The speed and method of killing were like devils, even because many of the attacks came from
On the ground, it will also give people the illusion that these people are emerging from the ground.
The Xiyan cavalry, who were originally bandits, surged forward. Now their morale has completely collapsed. Even the generals who commanded them have fled first. It is everyone's own benefit at this time. Dozens of knights who fled back just rushed forward.
When they came out, they were shot dead with strong bows and crossbows by dozens of Beifu Army soldiers guarding the forest road. They even found that the Beifu Army had arranged dozens of large carts used to pull baggage and cargo during their march.
Behind our own side is the line of defense.
In normal times, maybe the Xiyan cavalry could launch an assault on this kind of vehicle formation under effective command, but now it is no longer possible. When everyone is only focused on escaping, how can there be a normal way of attack and defense?
As if being pushed by an invisible devil's hand, everyone got into the bushes on the west side. Although everyone knew that this kind of low and dense bushes was full of thorns, which was naturally not conducive to the passage of cavalry.
But the desire to live outweighed everything, and everyone still rushed in without hesitation.
The sound of screams and the sound of horses came one after another. Many people disappeared as soon as they entered the bushes. Many people could even be seen falling off their horses crookedly. For these Xiyan cavalry with superb riding skills
It is almost impossible, unless the horse loses its front hoof, which can make the well-trained war horse throw its owner away from the pain. Obviously, there are too many obstacles in the forest that prevent the horse from walking smoothly.
A voice shouted loudly: "Dismount and escape on foot."
This sound spread quickly like an infectious disease among the panicked Xiyan cavalry. The more than two thousand people in the vanguard were divided equally between infantry and cavalry. The infantrymen who ran into the bushes did not seem to have lost their balance, but they had already lost their balance.
Among the superior cavalry, it was visible to the naked eye that there were not many who could still sit upright on their horses. As a result, those cavalry who were about to rush into the forest simply dismounted and went desperately into the forest. The crowds of people were like
Like dumplings, the entire bush was immediately crowded.
The battlefield gradually became calm. The dozens of Xiyan sergeants who were still on the battlefield were running towards the bushes without looking back. At this moment, the thick smoke gradually dispersed on the smoky battlefield.
More than two hundred soldiers from the Beifu Army, who looked like they had been bathed in blood, walked to the front of the forest under the leadership of Liu Yu. Everyone's face was filled with excitement. Tan Daoji's knife was almost stained with blood.
In another color, he waved his sword and ran forward, wanting to continue rushing into the forest to chase down the fleeing enemies.
Liu Yu smiled and stretched out his hand to stop Tan Daoji. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Why don't you continue to chase?"
Dong Shenhu's voice rang out with laughter: "Liu Zhuangshi must have thought that if you don't come in when Lin is there, you have already won a big victory today. The Yan army abandoned their helmets and horses, and they don't even want these mounts. We'd better go get the horses early."
"
Following his words, he and hundreds of his men also ran to Liu Yu's side. At this moment, he was a completely different person from the arrogant and arrogant young village leader the day before yesterday. I witnessed it with my own eyes today.
How Liu Yu and his 300 warriors defeated the enemy's 2,000 cavalry army made this young man truly shocked and convinced for the first time.
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "I said, what we want is total annihilation, not defeat. I deliberately let them enter this forest, and it is also their death place!"
As he spoke, he picked up a bow and arrow, and more than 200 people behind him also picked up a bow and arrow. Liu Yu suddenly turned to Dong Shenhu and smiled: "Brother, can you lend me a fire?!"
A moment later, flames shot into the sky, war horses neighed, and the hundreds of abandoned horses in front of the bushes fled everywhere. Dong Shenhu's men happily went to pull these horses, and many people ran away.
Before facing Xiao Lin, those women who had just broken free from the rope and were crying, after this battle, this Dongjiawu became angry.
However, Liu Yu and his brothers were still carrying out the killing. Several fires were burning in front of them. Everyone took turns to step forward and shoot their bows and arrows dipped in kerosene or tied with packets of sulfur and saltpeter into the bushes in front of them.
The fire was pouring out, and the fire was soaring into the sky. As the fire crows entered the bush, the low shrubs had turned into a sea of fire. The more than a thousand Xiyan troops who had entered the forest could not even scream and cry.
I couldn't hear it anymore. Occasionally, a few burning guys rushed out of the fire. They wanted to roll on the ground to extinguish the flames, but they were shot through the body by a few arrows from the Beifu sergeants. Soon, they were still on the ground without moving.
Moved.
Liu Yu put down the bow and arrow in his hand and walked slowly to the riverside. A slender figure stood there sadly, not even wanting to look at the sea of fire purgatory. Liu Yu walked to her side and sighed softly.
He breathed: "Aiqin, I'm sorry, this is what I have to do."
Murong Lan looked at the river in front of her expressionlessly: "You do what you have to do, but I have the freedom not to watch. Is it possible that I still have to laugh and watch how you massacre my people?"
Liu Yu sighed and glanced at the two figures running in the forest in the distance: "So, I will not ask you about letting Murong Sheng and Murong Rou go. The battle is over and we should go back to Jinyong City."
