Wang Wei knew that as long as he could rendezvous with the five hundred soldiers he brought, these brave soldiers would definitely stop Yuan Jun's pursuit for him. He was not afraid of death, but he had to rush back and tell Shi Huan about the situation here. This
The Yuan army had a large number of people, and they were already in a situation where they were attacked from both sides. The situation was extremely urgent and they had to release red flares quickly.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to his soldiers, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, and a gust of wind stabbed his back. In a panic, Wang Wei couldn't turn around in time, and slashed at him with his backhand, but the cut missed him.
Then, Wang Wei felt a sharp pain in the back of his heart. When he looked down, a sharp spear point protruded from his chest. Suddenly, the spear point disappeared again, and a stream of blood spurted out.
Wang Wei's hand dropped weakly, and the big knife fell to the ground, making a "choking" sound, but it was quickly drowned in the shouts of death around him. Wang Wei's body swayed on the horse and slowly fell down.
, just when he saw a general riding a horse passing by him, there was a word "高" on the big flag behind him, and then, he knew nothing about the latest chapter of "The Beacon Years of Youth".
After Gao Lan gave the order to attack, he never took action until he saw Wang Wei almost breaking out of the encirclement, then he rode his horse forward and stabbed him to death. Seeing Gao Lan's bravery, the morale of the Yuan army was greatly boosted, but the Han army
The soldiers did not lose their fighting spirit because of Wang Wei's death, and still fought hard. Gao Lan frowned, and finally couldn't help but fight in.
With the addition of Gao Lan, the war progressed significantly, but the 5,500 Han soldiers refused to surrender until the last man. Gao Lan took stock of the results and found that his own strength was ten times that of the enemy, and the battle loss ratio actually reached
Four to one, which means that in this battle, Yuan Jun lost a total of more than 20,000 people.
Gao Lan looked at the corpses everywhere and the trebuchets that were burned to only ashes, and suddenly understood that these Han soldiers had a chance to escape, but they gave up this opportunity just to prevent the trebuchets from falling into their hands.
The powerful combat power of the Han army was certainly terrifying, but what Gao Lan found even more terrifying was their sacrificial spirit of sacrificing their own lives in order to complete their mission.
Gao Lan's face became solemn. He raised his head and looked towards the south, where faint shouts of killing could be heard. Gao Lan put away his thoughts, pointed his spear in that direction, and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill!"
That was the battlefield where Shi Huan blocked Yan Liang. Yan Liang was also a veteran of the battlefield. When he saw the thick smoke billowing from the rear of the Han army, and the stone rain that beat his men to the point of running away, he knew that the rear of the Han army had stopped.
The team was attacked.
Yan Liang was sure that it was the reinforcements sent from the direction of Yecheng. His troops had been fighting here for so long, but they still could not break through the Han army's defense line. If he waited for the reinforcements from Yecheng to arrive, others would take the credit away from him.
Most of the day's efforts were in vain. Thinking of this, Yan Liang no longer hesitated, raised his sword and mounted his horse, shouted loudly, and charged towards the opposite side.
Because of the trebuchet attack, Yuan Jun's attack was temporarily suspended. Shi Huan took this opportunity to readjust his troops and found that there were less than 10,000 soldiers around him who could continue fighting. At this time, Shi Huan saw Yuan Jun's attack.
In the army, a man who looked like an iron tower rushed over wielding a broadsword.
Shi Huan guessed that this person was the famous Yan Liang, and couldn't help but get excited. The current situation is here, they have been trapped in a situation where they are surrounded by enemies from both sides. If the Han army who is preparing to fight for reinforcements cannot arrive in time, this position will be difficult.
Defended. Shi Huan had a bold idea. If he could kill Yan Liang, he might be able to scare away Yuan Jun.
Over the years, under the guidance of Xu Huang and others, Shi Huan's martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds. He is no longer comparable to the small soldiers of the Beijing Army back then. In the first army, apart from Xu Huang and Pang De, his martial arts can firmly rank third.
Shi Huan thought of doing it, mounted his horse with his sword in hand, and rushed out of the trench.
He is the highest commander on the battlefield. According to Han military regulations, he should not rush to the front. Although it is a last resort, Shi Huan dared to do so because the Han army has a strict system. Even if his commander is not present, Shi Huan dares to do so.
, other captains can still take over the command smoothly and there will be no collapse.
Yan Liang was the first general under Yuan Shao, and he was the champion of the three armies. When he saw a man rushing out of the Han army formation on the opposite side, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously, and dragged his sword to meet him. There was a loud "dang" sound.
The two horses met each other, and the swords in their hands were divided at the touch. Yan Liangle turned the horse's head and raised the sword high above his head.
"So fast..." On the other horse, Shi Huan's body swayed slightly, and he turned around with difficulty. He only had time to utter two words, and he fell down without saying the word "knife".
Yan Liang killed Shi Huan with one blow, and Yuan Jun shouted in unison and rushed forward.
Suddenly, Wu Heng's cavalry, which was at the rear of Yuan's army, went into chaos as if their nest had exploded. Yan Liang was facing his rear at this time, and he could clearly see the smoke and dust billowing behind him, and the ground began to tremble. He didn't know how many soldiers and horses were killed.
arrive.
Yan Liang gritted his teeth, turned around, pointed his broadsword toward the north, and shouted sternly: "The whole army attacks, rush through here, and meet up with the reinforcements from Yecheng!"
It has to be said that Yan Liang's decision was very correct. His cavalry fought fiercely with the Han army for half a day, and the casualties were very heavy, but he knew that the situation of the Han army was not much better, and he had just killed the Han army.
As a general, the morale of the Han army will definitely be low, and the Han army will even be in chaos without fighting. At this time, he rushes over with his army, just in time to break through the Han army's defense line, and after joining the reinforcements coming from the direction of Yecheng, he can rely on the Han army to build
This line of defense resists the army coming from behind.
However, Yan Liang made a miscalculation. Although the remnants of the Han army in front of him did not have a general, their fighting spirit was still strong. Facing the Yuan Army's cavalry that was charging madly, the crossbows fired even more fiercely.
In fact, when Shi Huan rushed out, the Han army was already prepared to meet the enemy. Beside them were swords, spears and shields picked up from their dead comrades, as well as sharp "engineering shovels".
", all the arrows have been drawn out, and after they are finished shooting, they abandon the crossbow and start a final hand-to-hand fight with the enemy.
Among the Han army, the relationship between officers and soldiers is the most harmonious. Although in peacetime training, officers at all levels have very strict requirements for soldiers, but in peacetime they are as close as brothers. Everyone eats and lives together, and it is as good as
They are a family. Therefore, Shi Huan's death not only did not make them retreat, but instead aroused the raging anger in their hearts.
Yan Liang danced his broadsword like a windmill, and all the arrows he fired were blown away by him. But the other soldiers behind him were not so lucky. Some people kept falling off their horses, and miserable howls could be heard one after another.
Before Yan Liang could reach the trench, hundreds of Han soldiers rushed out of the trench, screaming and rushing towards Yan Liang. Yan Liang didn't pay attention to these soldiers at all, and still rushed over casually dragging his sword.
But he soon discovered that he had made a mistake in judgment again.
In terms of personal bravery, these Han soldiers may not be worth mentioning in Yan Liang's eyes, but they usually eat together, sleep together, and train together, and they know each other as if they are one person. One among companions.
The look in his eyes and his cry all revealed meanings that only they could understand.
Yan Liang's martial arts skills are beyond praise. He danced with a sword impervious to wind and rain. He protected people at the top and horses at the bottom. He also took advantage of the opportunity to fight back. In the blink of an eye, more than ten Han soldiers died under his sword. But the Han soldiers
The soldiers' spears, knives and even arrows always hit him from different directions at every opportunity, which made him feel a little strenuous.
Inadvertently, Yan Liang's sword slowed down, and the war horse was scratched by the sword handed over by the Han army. Although it was only a small cut, the war horse was in pain, and it immediately stood up and let out a long neigh.
Yan Liang was proficient in martial arts and superb riding skills. He did not hesitate in the face of danger. He gently tightened the reins and clamped his legs hard. The horse rose into the air, jumped over the heads of the Han soldiers, and landed dozens of steps away.
, the horse's head was facing south, and it had jumped out of the encirclement of the Han army.
Upon seeing this, a captain in the Han army came up with a plan and shouted: "Yan Liang is defeated! Yan Liang is injured and runs away!"
Other soldiers of the Han army also shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky. The crossbowmen of the Han army also cooperated in time, and shot random arrows straight at Yan Liang. The random arrows hit Yan Liang's back. Yan Liang didn't have time to turn around.
He had no choice but to urge his horse forward while wielding his sword wildly. He was in a hurry and was in a very embarrassed state.
Yuan Jun's cavalry had been suppressed by the Han army's bows and arrows. Now that they heard the news of Yan Liang's defeat, their morale was in chaos. Yan Liang was a god-like existence in their minds. Now that even Yan Liang had fled, how could they still want to fight?
They all turned their horses' heads and fled south.
At this time, the south was no longer safe and even more dangerous. The more than 50,000 Wuhuan cavalry left behind by Yan Liang were experiencing brutal massacres.
This is not the first time that the Wuhuan cavalry has entered the Central Plains to fight. They have been summoned by the court many times to enter the Central Plains to participate in counter-rebellion wars. In their impression, the Han people are cowardly and like to use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. If they use real swords
Fighting with real guns, they are definitely no match for the Wuhuan cavalry.
The battle last night further confirmed Tadun's idea. There were traps almost everywhere on the Han army's positions. Except for those death squads who used savage swords and were worthy of respect, everyone else was a hit-and-run character.
However, they now encountered a real character with real swords and guns. This was a cavalry force of 20,000 people. Both men and horses were all covered in strong armor. These armors were made by the research institute using the best iron.
The fine scales are polished until they shine, and the inside of the scales is lined with five layers of silk. Even the most skilled craftsmen would need a whole month to create such a set of armor that can protect humans and horses. Twenty thousand sets of armor.
You can imagine how much manpower and financial resources Liu Xin spent. This is the most elite cavalry equipped by the First Army and the Second Army of the Han Dynasty... Iron Armored Cavalry! ^-^Book (0000)^-^
