The Arctic Assault was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Fu Luohan's escape was to ignite the Mars on the camel's back.
In a blink of an eye, the Xianbei people collapsed.
The horns of retreat were heard one after another, and all the Xianbei people turned their horses and prepared to evacuate.
But tens of thousands of people are distributed on the battlefield in a radius of several miles, so orderly evacuation is impossible. Everyone wants to take a step first and escape from the sea of suffering, and collision is inevitable.
The chaos expanded rapidly, and except for the smooth retreat of the knights on the periphery, most of the Xianbei people were in a dilemma of nowhere to escape.
Some people choose to rush hard and raise their swords to their companions.
Some people chose to surrender, dismounted before the arrival of the Han army's armored cavalry, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and carefully avoided the Han army's horse hooves to avoid being trampled to death.
Wherever Ma Chao, Yan Xing and Guo Wu go, please give in.
Ma Chao rushed left and right, trying to find a passage, break out of the chaotic battlefield, and continue to pursue Fu Luohan.
But he was soon disappointed.
The scene was too chaotic, and the Xianbei people couldn't escape even if they wanted to escape. There was no way for him to chase Fu Luohan.
Besides, the Arctic Rider has limited endurance and cannot pursue it for a long distance. Even if he can break out of the siege, he will never be able to catch up with Fu Luohan.
Ma Chao was so angry that he roared angrily.
The pressure in front of Lu Bu dropped sharply, successfully breaking through the blockade of the Xianbei people, and began to accelerate, galloping past Ma Chao and others.
Seeing Ma Chao's angry appearance, Lu Bu guessed that Fu Luohan might still be alive, so he ordered a raid along the river bank, preparing to bypass Shuofang City not far away and pursue Fu Luohan.
If Fu Luohan wants to escape from the battlefield, there are two passages: one is to go west along the river and go to the crowing gate; the other is to cross the river and go north, go to the Daze Road, go to the Pingyikou, and go to the surrender city.
If it is the latter, he will have the chance to intercept Fu Luohan.
Because there was Shuofang City next to the river, the Xianbei people did not dare to escape along the river, which gave Lu Bu a chance to quickly leave the battlefield.
Behind Lu Bu, General Zhang Yang of Liao also chose to pursue along the river. He used Gao Shun's position and rushed past Gao Shun's back. The horse's hooves kicked the water, muddled the river water, and pushed the soldiers in Gao Shun's formation behind him.
Back splashed.
Gao Shun's subordinates did not say a word and did not even look back.
The Huns were so angry that their faces were red and their ears were red, but they dared not speak out.
Gao Shun did not turn around, and he beat the war drums in an appropriate manner, and ordered the soldiers to shout in unison.
"Those who surrender are exempt from death-"
The Xianbei people who were dizzy when they were killed heard the Han army shouting, and at first they thought that the Han army infantry would take the initiative to attack, so they were so scared that their legs became weak. Gao Shun's record in Chengyi left a deep shadow on them.
They felt relieved when they found that the Han army was just shouting and did not attack.
At this time, Gao Shun also realized that many Xianbei people could not understand Chinese, so he immediately called Huchuquan and asked him to shout with the Huns.
There are many ways to believe in the language between the Huns and Xianbei people. Even if there are some differences, you can understand the general idea.
Hearing the Huns shouted "Those who surrendered will not die", the desperate Xianbei people finally understood. After hesitating for a moment, someone chose to surrender.
First, the Xianbei people in front of Gao Shun's formation put down their weapons, gathered obediently, hugged their heads, squatted or knelt. Some of them were even more tired, so they simply lay on the ground and were slaughtered.
Some people demonstrate, others follow.
After a while, thousands of Xianbei knights raised their hands to surrender.
When Liu Xie entered the battlefield, he saw that Gao Shun, who had less than a thousand men, captured thousands of Xianbei cavalry, and more people joined in. The captured weapons piled up into a small hill, and the war horses in the air saddle were even more numerous.
A group of spectacular.
"Gao Shun is a general." Liu Xie praised.
"I, Aweng, said the same thing." Lu Xiaohuan hurriedly: "He also asked me to learn how to use troops from Uncle Ziping."
Liu Xie smiled but said nothing.
Lu Bu did know Gao Shun's ability, but Lu Bu did not trust Gao Shun and had never truly been able to display Gao Shun's talent.
His vision determines his achievements.
Liu Xie slowly strangled his mount.
The victory and defeat have been decided, and the rest of the pursuit has been arranged, so the generals follow the order and do not need him, the emperor, to take action personally.
He was ready to chop people, but Fu Luohan did not stick to the end.
After all, Fu Luohan is not even the overlord of the grassland and is not worthy of being his opponent.
——
Hearing the sound of the trumpet of the Xianbei people retreating in the distance, Ma Teng ordered the city gate to open, and nearly 10,000 cavalrymen turned over and out of the city, and intercepted and killed the fleeing Xianbei cavalry.
The Xianbei people just wanted to escape, but they had no desire to fight and could not organize effective counterattacks.
Ma Teng reaped his best and gained a lot.
Zhang Xiu led the Yulin cavalry to arrive. Seeing Ma Teng being in charge of the army to intercept the Xianbei people and collect Luo's spoils, he couldn't help but laugh contemptuously, ordering to pass through the battlefield and continue chasing Fu Luohan.
After half an hour, Ma Chao rushed to the city and saw that Ma Teng was still counting the prisoners. Pang De, Ma Dai and others were also there, and was shocked.
"Ahon, why don't you chase Fu Luohan?"
"Full the Lohan?" Ma Teng shook his head carelessly. "I didn't see it."
Ma Chao slapped his thigh with regret. "I defeated Fu Luohan, but unfortunately I failed to take his life. I thought my father could intercept him and make a great contribution, but I didn't expect to miss it."
"What's wrong?" Ma Teng smiled with satisfaction: "You have killed his two sons and forced him to fight the emperor to a decisive battle. Only then will you have a great victory. The contribution is already great enough, why fight again? Meng Qi,
Be content with being a human being, stop when you see it, and never be greedy."
Ma Chao didn't want to talk to him, so he called Pang De and Ma Dai, asking them to put down their affairs immediately and lead their troops to chase Fu Luohan.
Pang De and Ma Dai looked at Ma Teng in embarrassment, but Ma Teng waved his hand disapprovingly. "Since Meng Qi asked you to go, you can go."
Pang De and Ma Dai responded, turned around and summoned their subordinates and ran away.
Ma Chao also wanted to chase, but was stopped by Ma Teng. "You are now the Minister of the Hu Ben, leading a hundred armored cavalry to fight. How can you leave your subordinates behind and pursue them alone? Go back to the emperor immediately. Protecting the emperor's safety is the most important thing for you now.
Mission. Although the outcome has been decided, there are tens of thousands of soldiers surrendered to Xianbei. Who doesn’t know if there will be any accidents?”
Ma Chao felt it was reasonable, so he gave up his plan to pursue and led the Arctic Cavalry back.
Guo Wu and Yan Xing have taken the lead and returned to Liu Xie.
Seeing Ma Chao return, Liu Xie didn't say anything, just asked about the casualties.
Ma Chao first attacked and returned, and the loss was the biggest. A total of eleven war horses were lost, three knights were killed, two seriously injured, and thirty-five slightly injured.
In contrast, Guo Wu and Yan Xing's subordinates were only slightly injured and not killed. The serious injuries and losses of war horses were all single digits.
Faced with such a gap, without Liu Xie's words, Ma Chao, who was originally very excited, consciously closed his mouth.
"Is the general in the West good?"
Ma Chao saluted respectfully. "My father is intercepting and killing the Xianbei soldiers. I will come to pay a visit after a while."
Liu Xie nodded. "It is rare for the general to fight against the West to be stern."
Xun You continued, "What Your Majesty said is very good. Your Majesty has many strong and tough warriors on his side, but he lacks the valiant old ministers like the General of the West. It should be of great use."
Ma Chao suddenly felt energetic.
He had little contact with Xun You, and never thought that Xun You would speak for their father and son.
Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu nodded with a smile. "I'm asking."
