Chapter 14 The battle in the valley meets the autumn rain
The melee has lasted for a full hour, and all parties are exhausted.
In a normal battle formation, both sides might have already paid money to withdraw their troops and let the soldiers return to the formation to rest.
If the physical strength of the soldiers is not replenished during a hard battle, they may even be exhausted to death. This is often the reason why one side suddenly collapses in many seemingly evenly matched battle formations.
Therefore, a good general will allow his soldiers to take turns to rest during hard battles.
But it doesn't work now.
The two sides are already locked in a battle, and no one will give the other a chance to rest. If anyone shows signs of fatigue, the other side will take the opportunity to counterattack.
Ju Yi felt his heart beating violently in his chest. He called to the two horse soldiers behind him to fill in, and he took the opportunity to retreat and rest to regain his breath.
He looked at the Hun soldiers on the opposite side holding on to the pole and slashing at his own soldiers with all their strength. Although most of the cuts were in vain on the armor, they could not withstand the large number of people on the other side.
Of the more than 20 soldiers on our side, two were dead and three were wounded, while the Hun soldiers on the opposite side had more than 20 dead.
Ju Yi looked at Zhao Yun in the distance and saw that he was also locked in a hard fight. His sword and shield soldiers were desperately blocked by the other side and were forced to fight on their own. If this continued, even if they won, the price they would pay would never be less.
The situation on the battlefield is now in chaos, and he has no time to command.
The Hun soldiers on the opposite side were also very ferocious. Under the leadership of General Hu, they rushed forward without fear of death. Now both sides were just waiting to see who would collapse first.
Qu Yi roared, straightened his arms, and rushed forward again.
Yuan Xi was condescending and saw that there was a fierce battle below the valley, which was a bit beyond his expectation.
This plundering Xiongnu tribe was not a straggler. On the contrary, the various arms cooperated well. It was obvious that they had come to the Central Plains many times to plunder, and they were familiar habitual offenders.
Never let them go!
He led his men to kill all the dozen Hun archers on the hillside, and even shot all the captured arrows.
He pulled out the embedded arrow from his armor, tied the ring-headed sword on his wrist, and shouted: "Kill all the wild dogs today, and you will receive double rewards based on merit!"
Upon hearing this, the tired soldiers all shouted excitedly, not only Yuan Xi's soldiers, but also Zhao Yun's!
Zhao Yun had already dismounted, and he stabbed the Hun soldiers who were charging to death with his spear. He smiled bitterly in his heart, why were he and his men like Yuan Xi's subordinates as he was beating them?
But don't forget to say that Yuan Xi actually dared to rush into the enemy's formation, which is not something that ordinary young masters from aristocratic families can do.
During the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao also took the lead and rushed to the front. His morale was greatly boosted and he defeated Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop. Zhao Yun thought that although the Yuan family was good at pampering and monopolizing power, it was not without merit.
Yuan Xi led his men to rush down the hillside and directly seize the enemy's flank. He did not rush in blindly. He was always on guard against the enemy's double-teaming. He constantly called on his men to surround one person with several men, maintaining superior strength and encroaching on the opponent step by step.
Those who can survive despite being reckless are all fierce generals. He doesn't think he has this ability.
There was a melee in the valley, and dozens of carts were surrounded by dead bodies. The woman with a scar on her face hid under the cart and took out a dagger she found from the dead Huns' arms.
She reached out from under the car, groping for the keyhole of the overhead box with a dagger. Her arms were extremely sore, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
Inside this box, there were precious items left by her dead father that were robbed along with her, and she wanted to get them back no matter what.
She carefully hid her body and kept trying. Finally, with a snap, the lock popped open.
She felt happy, but found a few raindrops falling in front of her eyes.
It's raining.
The autumn rain came so quickly, covering the valley in mist. Soldiers from both sides fought in the mud, their bodies covered with mud and flesh, but no one had time to care.
The woman retracted her hand again. Even if she opened the box at this time, the things inside would be wet and damaged by the water.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and in the vast rain and fog, a dozen Huns soldiers guarded a figure, coming towards the cart.
The woman quickly retracted her hand, and upon hearing the voice, she knew that the person being protected in the middle was none other than the Hun chieftain.
The generals said: "Sir, I can't stand it any longer, so I'd better run away first!"
The Xiongnu chief chopped down the rushing Han soldiers and said angrily: "What a shame, what a shame! What a shame!"
"When I return to the north, I will definitely ask my father to send troops to kill all these Han troops when I come back!"
"If you violate these words, I, Liu Bao, swear that I will not be a human being!"
Several generals looked at each other and realized that Lord Xindao was the son of the Shanyu of the Southern Huns. He was originally disguised as the chief of a small tribe and came to the Han region to plunder and gain experience. Unexpectedly, he encountered a tough fight here!
The hundreds of Xiongnu soldiers accompanying this time are not ordinary young tribesmen at all, but carefully selected elite soldiers from the Southern Xiongnu!
However, the two Han armies we encountered were more difficult to deal with than our own!
When Liu Bao passed by the cart, he glanced angrily. Now that he was running away, he couldn't take away the looted property.
He saw the springing lock and was slightly startled. However, when he leaned over slightly, he saw the ugly woman hiding under the car with a frightened look on her face.
He felt angry, picked up the short copper spear in his hand, and stabbed the woman.
When the woman saw it, she hurriedly rolled to avoid it, but was stabbed in the shoulder by a spear, and blood flowed out all of a sudden.
Her eyes were so painful that she almost fainted. Was she going to die here today?
But I heard a shout: "This is the leader of the Huns, come with me!"
The woman lay on the ground and watched as a group of people wearing armor rushed up and fought with more than a dozen Hun chiefs.
She covered the wound on her shoulder and saw blood flying, broken limbs flying everywhere, and people screaming and falling down from time to time.
Yuan Xi took the ring-headed knife and slashed at the leader of the chief.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bao reacted very quickly. He stabbed a soldier approaching from behind with his bronze spear and hit Yuan Xi on the head with the iron bone flower in his other hand.
Yuan Xi used his Huanshou sword to make a move. When the two soldiers met, he felt that the opponent's force was heavy and the Huanshou sword flew out of his hand.
Fortunately, he had already tied a rope to the ring at the end of the Huanshou knife and tied it to his wrist. He pulled his arm and grabbed the handle of the knife in his hand.
Liu Bao also lost his temper. He saw that Yuan Xi had been directing everyone, and his status must be high. This was a great opportunity to kill him before he could let out the bad breath in his chest!
He roared loudly and used both hands to attack at the same time, stabbing and smashing. Yuan Xi was immediately stunned and retreated continuously.
Qu Yi saw him in the distance and secretly thought something was wrong. This Xiongnu chief was not a mediocre person!
He wanted to rush over, but was entangled by the Hun soldiers in front of him. He was unable to escape for a while, so he had to call on the people around him to attack Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi retreated step by step, already leaning against the cart, when Liu Bao stabbed his chest with a spear. The impact was so powerful that he was immediately breathless.
Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and struck Liu Bao's hand with a knife, but it was blocked by his arm armor.
Both of them were skilled in armor, and for a while neither could do anything to the other.
Liu Bao saw that Yuan Xi was in trouble with his armor, so he jumped on him and knocked Yuan Xi to the ground.
He was riding on Yuan Xi, and the iron bone flower in his hand hit Yuan Xi's head hard!
