"Fortunately, the enemy did not block the entrance here. Otherwise we would be in trouble." Seeing that there was no enemy shadow around, Xue Wanche also breathed a sigh of relief. He had always been worried that there would be enemies blocking here. Now look. Come on. It's no use worrying.
"Don't be careless." Xue Wanshu behind him immediately shouted: "There should be several secret passages like this. The other party must be setting up defenses one by one. It's just that we haven't had time to get here yet. We can't be careless. We have to leave here quickly to be safe. .”
Xue Wanshu said while frowning and looking back behind her. Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanjun were both lying on makeshift stretchers. Just when they were in the secret passage, Xue Wanshu had already fainted due to exhaustion. In other words, .Next, he and Xue Wanche are the only two people who can command the remaining Xue Family Army. Plus they have less than 2,000 Xue Family Army soldiers left. If they are ambushed by the enemy again, it will basically be a disaster. There is no way to survive.
Taking a deep breath, Xue Wanshu also quickly directed the soldiers and horses to withdraw from the secret passage. And immediately smashed the entrance of the secret passage. Then, Xue Wanshu identified the direction and continued to march towards the north with the soldiers and horses.
Less than half an hour after Xue Jiajun left, the Xia army led by Ling Jing also arrived here. Just as Xue Wanshu expected, there were several secret passages leading to Gaojibo. However, the exits were too far apart. Yuan. Ling Jing didn't know which secret passage he was temporarily deploying, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. The secret passage the other party escaped from was the last secret passage, which made Ling Jing arrive a step too late. Looking at the blocked passage, At the dead secret passage, Ling Jing's face was ashen. Needless to say, Xue Jiajun had already run away. Immediately, Ling Jing gritted his teeth and pointed towards the north. He shouted: "You can't let go of an enemy when you are chasing him."
No wonder Ling Jing became like this. Ling Jing already knew the situation on the mountain. There was so much food and grass in Gaojibo, but less than 20% was left. With such a result alone, Ling Jing had no way to explain to Dou Jiande. For this plan, only by capturing the Xue family brothers can we atone for our sins. Immediately, Ling Jing led a full 10,000 troops to pursue the front. It was already daybreak. It was not difficult to catch up with the Xue family army. As for the 10,000 troops and horses, although they are not many, there is no problem at all if they have to deal with the Xue family army that has been crippled.
After a hard battle just now, the soldiers of the Xue family army were injured and exhausted. Naturally, their marching speed was far inferior to that of the Xia army led by Ling Jing. Finally, after chasing for half an hour, Xia Jun The army could already see the figures of the Xue Jiajun in front. When he saw the pair of Xue Jiajun fleeing hastily, Ling Jing's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately shouted to the soldiers and horses behind him: "Chasing. The enemy is in front of the cavalry. Let’s catch up first.”
Naturally, the Xia Army also had cavalry formations. Although not many, there were nearly 500 people. Under Ling Jing's order, the 500 cavalrymen immediately sped up. They broke away from the Xia Army's formation and ran towards the front.
The Xue Jiajun in front naturally discovered the pursuers behind them. For a while, Xue Jiajun's army began to show panic. Especially when the opponent's cavalry team came after them, a feeling of despair began to spread among the Xue Jiajun. .This is also thanks to the well-trained Xue family army. If it were any other soldiers, I am afraid that they would have fallen into a rout at this time.
Seeing this scene, Xue Wanche frowned. But he immediately shouted to Xue Wanshu beside him: "Second brother, you take the eldest brother, and the third brother leaves first. I will break up the rear." After saying that, Xue Wanche waved his hand and clicked. After gathering more than a hundred soldiers and horses, they stopped and formed a formation on the spot to prepare for battle.
Seeing Xue Wanche's actions, Xue Wanshu was also shocked. She immediately shouted: "Fourth brother, what are you doing? Let's go quickly."
Xue Wanche stood at the front of the formation. He stood upright. His eyes were fixed on the hundreds of cavalrymen who were getting closer and closer in front of him. His eyes were burning with fighting spirit. He shouted: "Second brother, you go first." We must keep the eldest brother and the third brother safe. I killed these cavalry and caught up immediately. Don't worry."
Hearing Xue Wanche's words, Xue Wanshu's heart suddenly felt like it was twisted. He happened to see the stretcher carrying Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanjun passing by. He turned back to look at Xue Wanche's tall and straight back. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and shouted: "Fourth brother, kill the cavalry and come back as soon as possible. Don't be reluctant to fight. We will wait for you in front." After saying that, Xue Wanshu could only grit his teeth and continue to move forward. He was afraid that if he stayed again, he would change his mind.
Hearing Xue Wanshu's words, Xue Wanche just smiled slightly. But the smile was soon replaced by the raging flames of war. The Xia army's cavalry queue had already rushed in front of them. Xue Wanche could clearly see the ferocious face of the cavalry rushing at the front. Seeing the cavalryman raising his spear and about to stab Xue Wanche on the head, Xue Wanche suddenly squatted down and dodged the shot. Then he swiped the halberd in his hand and directly killed the cavalryman. All four legs of the mount were cut off. The war horse let out a scream and fell to the ground. The cavalryman was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground. Unfortunately, his neck was also hit by the impact. It was broken and I couldn't rest in peace until I died.
"Dou Jiande's bastard wants to get over. There's no way." After killing an enemy with one move, the blood in Xue Wanche's body suddenly started to burn. His physical strength, which had been somewhat exhausted, was miraculously full. Xue Wanche could only hear With an angry roar, he held the halberd in his hand across his chest. In conjunction with the spears of the Xue Family Army officers who were arrayed behind him, he actually rushed towards the cavalry in front.
Using infantry to attack cavalry. Such a fighting style is simply unheard of. What is the difference between this and seeking death? Before the cavalry soldiers could react to the Xue family army's strange attack method, Xue Wanche had already rushed into the cavalry formation. I saw Xue Wanche yelling angrily. At the moment when he was about to collide with the cavalry in front of him, he jumped directly over the head of the cavalry. At the same time, he waved his backhand and immediately chopped down the cavalry with his halberd. 's head.
As for the other soldiers of the Xue Family Army, they were naturally not as skilled as Xue Wanche. What they chose was to raise their spears and collide directly with the cavalry in front of them.
Long spears pierced directly into the bodies of the cavalry and war horses. Blood flowed immediately. The collision force of the war horses fell on the Xue Jiajun soldiers. Although there were long spears in front, there were still many people. They were directly hit by the horses and flew out. Most of them even spurted blood in the air. A rain of blood suddenly fell in the sky above the Xue Jiajun and the cavalry. The blood drops finally fell and sprinkled on the helmets of the Xue Jiajun. . But it did not distract their attention. They all looked ferocious and just wanted to continue fighting forward.
Finally, at the cost of nearly half of the soldiers' lives, the Xue family army finally blocked the attack of the cavalry. At this moment, Xue Wanche had already rushed into the middle of the cavalry formation. The halberd in his hand kept slashing at the surroundings. Killing and harvesting the lives of those Xia Army cavalry. Xue Wanche was obviously red-eyed. Fortunately, the Xue Family Army soldiers were not with him at this time. Otherwise, if they met him, they would still be killed.
Although there is no more impact, the advantage of cavalry over infantry is still there. The Xia Army cavalry held the spears in their hands and kept stabbing at the enemies on the left and right. The Xue Army soldiers would not be willing to be killed. The spears in their hands It is one of the most effective weapons for infantry to deal with cavalry. It uses the length of the spear to minimize the gap between them and the cavalry. Such a result is indeed hard to believe. One hundred Xue Jiajun soldiers actually blocked five hundred Xia soldiers. The attack of the army cavalry. However, the price paid by the Xue Jiajun soldiers was tragic. With just one stick of incense, there were only a dozen Xue Jiajun soldiers left. If the attack continued, these dozen people would be killed sooner or later. matter.
"Ah..." Xue Wanche roared angrily. He could feel that the painted halberd in his hand had begun to become dull. This was the result of countless collisions with the enemy's weapons. After all, the painted halberd in Xue Wanche's hand was just a piece of paper. The handle of the weapon is very ordinary. I can barely say it. At most, it is sharper than the ordinary painted halberd. But Xue Wanche can't control that much anymore. If he can't cut the enemy's body, then he can knock the enemy down. If he can't cut it down, If you take off the enemy's neck, then smash the enemy's head.
The halberd's moves were no longer so subtle in Xue Wanche's hands. Instead, they became simpler and more direct. In the end, the space nearly a foot or so around Xue Wanche's body was almost classified as a restricted area. He died tragically at Xue Wanche's hands. The corpses of the Xia army's cavalry had piled up into a small hill at Xue Wanche's feet.
Xue Wanche could no longer tell whether the thick layer covering his body was the enemy's blood or his own. In his eyes, the only way for the three brothers to escape was to keep fighting and hold off these enemies for a little longer. He was waving, waving, and suddenly found that his last few swings of the halberd were all in vain. Xue Wanche subconsciously covered his eyes with the back of his hand to wipe away the stains that had formed into plasma. Qian looked around and discovered that there were only a large number of human and horse corpses left around him. All the Xia army's cavalry had been killed by him.
As for the soldiers of the Xue Family Army brought by Xue Wanche, they were all dead long ago. However, Xue Wanche didn't care at all. He didn't even notice Ling Jing's army, which was about to kill them. Xue Wanche was like this. Standing on the pile of corpses, he looked up to the sky and laughed. He said with a smile: "I said that Dou Jiande is a bitch. It's nothing more than this."
