The airtight and rigorous military formation suddenly opened up like a wall, and a road opened up. Amidst the heavy footsteps, Xu Huang, wearing a heavy helmet on his head and wearing fine armor, slowly walked out from the inside and came to Guo Bin's body.
, examined it for a long time.
This Guo Bin is indeed a famous Xiliang warrior who has been famous for a long time. He actually killed more than a hundred cavalry all the way in front of him. Such bravery is rare even in Heshuo. If he can return to the command of the hussar general, for
It is a bright road to fight against the traitors and conquer the country. Unfortunately, this son is too ignorant of current affairs, so his end is already doomed, that is death.
Guo Si's horse was hit by several arrows and was bleeding like a stream. He knelt on the ground and kept licking his master. His eyes looked sad and he moaned from time to time.
A glimmer of admiration flashed in Xu Huang's eyes. After his master died, the horse was not alone, and he sighed in his heart about the truly loyal horse. There was a "swish" sound as he drew the sword, and white light passed by. When he slowly put the sword back into its sheath, the horse's neck shot out.
A stream of hot blood fell to the ground on its side and followed its owner.
"Zhonglang..." The general looked at Guo Si and asked how to deal with it.
"Guo Si's life and death are of no consequence. Cut off his head and send it back for convenience." After Xu Huang said this, he turned his eyes to the battlefield. Guo Si made such a fuss, and the Gai army's offensive was stopped. Although the coalition forces were unable to take advantage of the opportunity.
Counterattack, but it can stabilize the position and consolidate the defense line. This is not the result he wants to see. He waved the flag and ordered, "Defeat the front army and go straight into the center army."
All the generals around him declared their promise with a loud voice.
How could Yang Qiu and Hu Zhen not pay attention to Guo Si's great commotion? Even though they knew that Guo Si's chances of success were slim, they still secretly hoped for a miracle. It seemed that this was all they could do now.
When Guo Si and others were all gone, dead or alive, they all fell silent, and the last glimmer of hope was extinguished.
Hu Zhen and Guo Si both belonged to Dong Zhuo's command, but Hu Zhen came from a wealthy family. Before joining Dong's army, he was already a man of Liangzhou and had a great reputation, while Guo Si used to be a horse thief with a low status. They were not the same people.
, they have always had a normal relationship, but no matter how weak their friendship is, they have been fighting side by side for more than ten years. Now that I see Guo Si killed in battle, and think of myself again, I can't help but feel sad. He said to Yang Qiu: "General Yang, we have reached this point, we really want to do it again."
Do you want to keep fighting?".
Yang Qiu said in a deep voice: "Fleeing back to Chang'an will inevitably lead to death, or it may bring disaster to your family."
"..." Hu Zhen's expression was gloomy. Unlike Yang Qiu's family, who was in his hometown in Liangzhou, his family members were all in Chang'an City. The two of them fled back to Chang'an. He didn't know whether Han Sui would kill Yang Qiu, but he would definitely do it.
Neither he nor his family could be spared. In this way, for the sake of his family's safety, he should be more determined than Yang Qiu to fight to the death, but the fact is exactly the opposite. The reason is simple. In Hu Zhen's heart, it is best for his family to be safe.
But he doesn't want to die even more. He wants to live. In order to survive, other things, including his family, are insignificant.
Hu Zhen did not dare to rebel in front of the battle. Yang Qiu was beside him, watching him closely. Perhaps his head moved before he could take action. His idea was to try to escape once the army was defeated. Since Yang Qiu planned to die here,
The responsibility will naturally fall on him. If he can't escape, surrender means that Gaijun will get his place, so it won't be too difficult for him. As for his family in Chang'an, he can't care so much.
With the death of Guo Si, the Gai army gathered strength to launch a fierce attack. The coalition forces that had just been reunited struggled to resist for a moment and then collapsed. This also triggered disastrous consequences, causing the entire front army to collapse. Those who stood on
The hundreds of swordsmen and axe-hands behind the soldiers could not stop the ebbing tide. Those who dared to wield swords were killed by the soldiers who were eager to survive in a blink of an eye. They were forced to half-force and half-obey, holding the soldiers together and retreating to the rear.
"Kill, kill..." The soldiers of the Gai army had red eyes and flushed faces. They were armed with halberds and large spears, long knives and shields, and powerful crossbows and bows. They followed the defeated army all the way, and rushed towards the enemy's center, shouting to kill.
Continuously resounding, deafening...
Faced with the tide of retreating comrades and the enemies who were attacking from behind, the officers and soldiers of the coalition army were all moved, their hands and feet were trembling, and everyone wanted to escape instead of fighting. The generals killed chickens to scare monkeys and killed dozens of people in a row before they could barely stabilize the morale of the army.
.All the generals know that the Chinese army is now strong on the outside and weak on the inside. Once it is attacked by a rout, it is likely to be defeated by the army behind it. If you want to maintain its formation, there is only one way...
"kill--"
The crossbows in the formation poured out like a torrential rain, and a large area of the defeated troops running at the front was immediately mopped down. Before they could react, the crossbows sounded again, and a wave of arrows came in succession. The soldiers were hit by arrows one after another and fell to the ground. The coalition forces
They killed their own people, their actions were so ruthless and their tactics so cruel. Not only were the defeated soldiers frightened, but even the generals and officers of the army were startled.
"Those who abandon the war - kill those who dare to retreat - kill those who attack our own formation - kill"
Three words of "kill" were spoken in a row, and the bloody air rushed towards the face. The defeated troops shuddered. After a slight hesitation, some turned back to join the enemy. Everyone blindly followed them one after another and fought again.
This scene was all under Xu Huang's eyes. Although the other party's approach was a bit harsh, it was the right choice. If it were him, he would do the same. The coalition's disadvantage was too obvious, and their defeat was certain. No matter how hard they struggled,
It's all in vain, the only difference is that it's earlier and later.
As Xu Huang said, the coalition forces were struggling in vain. At this time, the defeated troops were out of formation. The soldiers could not find Shangguan, and the Shangguan could not find soldiers. They were in a mess, trying to fight against the strictness of the journey in a loose manner, but the result was irrelevant.
You know. However, in an instant, so many people were massacred, so many people were killed that the allied soldiers did not dare to fight anymore, nor did they dare to retreat. They could only flee to both sides.
The Gai army ignored the deserters and suppressed them with crossbow formations against crossbow formations. Afterwards, the spearmen paid a heavy price in casualties and successfully broke through the coalition's central defense line.
Pang De, who was in the rear, looked at the battlefield from a distance, playing with a head in his hand. This was Guo Si's head. Pang De thought to himself, had Guo Aduo lost his mind? He actually died on the battlefield for the "enemy" Han Sui, which is the worst thing in the world.
Nothing is more ridiculous than this. The relationship between the two armies of Gai and Dong was very complicated. When they were conquering the Yellow Turbans and conquering Han Sui, both sides were Han soldiers. They were in the same robes, drank from the same bowl, and fought against thieves side by side. Later, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and Gai Jun went north, and the two armies turned against each other.
Turning into an enemy, fighting life and death, it makes people lament that fate has played a trick on people. Seeing Guo Si's head, Pound couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
Gai Yin also had the same thoughts, and was more emotional than Pang De. After all, when the two armies were in the "honeymoon period", the latter was still a teenager, and Gai Yin was the second most powerful person in the Gai army after Gai Jun from the beginning.
Dong Jun's generals had many interactions with each other.
Yan Liang was so worried that he risked his own life and went through bloody battles to finally kill the coalition general Liang Xing. He never thought that Xu Huang would deliver the head of Guo Si in the blink of an eye. The latter was one of the three most powerful generals under Dong Zhuo's command in the past.
, compared with him, Liang Xing is nothing. What makes Yan Liangliang even more disgusted is that Xu Huang just killed Guo Si conveniently, and now he has led his troops to defeat the enemy's front army, invaded the central army, and made some gains later.
If so, it would be difficult for him to flatter Baiyi.
Pang De came back to his senses and said, "Xu Gongming is making rapid progress..."
Gai Yin showed a look of approval on his face and said: "With a mere three thousand people, we can still not fall behind against an enemy several times our own. Xu Zhonglang is indeed the best general in Heshuo. In the future, he will definitely be one of the country's famous generals."
It has its place.”
Pang De quite agreed with Gai Yin's evaluation. Xu Huang is a pearl. Even if you want to hide it, you can't cover it up, just like him. Pang De will not be arrogant or belittle himself. At a young age, he is already a prominent figure.
To the general, standing at the top of Heshuo's army, as long as nothing happens, he will definitely become one of the few generals in the Han Dynasty in the future. He said to Gai Yin: "Now Xu Gongming has captured the main force of the thieves, and we should also cooperate with them."
, surrounded by two wings, and completely wiped out the bandit army.”….
Gai Yin nodded slightly when he heard this.
Pang De added: "It's just that victory comes too easily."
Gai Yin glanced sideways at Pang De and said calmly: "I hope victory will always be this easy." Gai Yin first defended the east of the river and then controlled Luoyi. He was no longer the former Shehu Camp personal guard Qu Junhou who only knew how to charge into battle.
Pang De sighed: "So, this is the contradiction in my heart. I want to avoid my own casualties, but also want to have a good time. This matter will never be solved, there is no solution..."
Gai Yin no longer paid attention to Pound's almost meaningless lament, and ordered the Chinese army to speed up the advance, support Xu Huang's troops, follow the general's rear army, and at the same time use the left and right armies to flank the enemy's flanks.
The commander-in-chief of the left army of the Gai Army is Feng Che Zhonglang General Duan Xuan, and the commander-in-chief of the right army is Xingheishan Zhonglang General Yang Feng. They are either Han ministers or surrendered, and they are not direct descendants of the Gai Army. Seeing that the enemy is unable to do anything, we can't win a big victory.
During the period, everyone felt excited and wanted to get a share of credit, thinking that they would advance into the ranks. The general thought so, and the soldiers did the same. Beheading the enemy's head was exchanged for military merits, rewards, and fields. If you were lucky enough to get a general, you would spend your whole life.
There is no need to worry about life anymore, who wouldn’t like that?
When the Gai army launched an offensive across the board, the cavalry battle on both sides also entered its final stage. The coalition cavalry only had 3,040 men. Even though it was more than Zhang Xiu and Zhenliang's troops, it was not even a few points more. It was not even enough to make up for the lack of equipment on both sides.
The gap. As thousands of Gaijun Qiang cavalry joined the battle, the coalition cavalry was surrounded and their vigor gradually lost. They were only beaten and had no power to fight back.
"Kill..." Zhang Xiu fought for a long time, and the big sword broke, and in close combat, the long soldiers were at a disadvantage, so he simply did not replace the long sword, but pulled out the first sword with a ring of three feet around his waist, slashing left and right.
, unstoppable.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
Bursts of horn sounds were faintly heard from afar. It was unclear at first, and then remained unclear. However, Zhang Xiu recognized that this was a signal for the cavalry to retreat, and the offensive suddenly slowed down. The horn sounds came from the other end of the battlefield.
Zhenliang could never be defeated. So, he defeated his opponent? Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. His offensive was obviously more fierce, but his opponent was different. On the contrary, Zhenliang's side ended the battle earlier than him.
.
"Hu'er, you bitch, since you want to die, I will grant it to you." Zhang Xiu glared at General Hu, a member of the banner in the distance, gritted his teeth and said. Hu'er didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine or something, but in Sheng
When the defeat was already divided, someone else would have fled long ago, but he refused to retreat, like a stone in a latrine - smelly and hard.
Thinking of this, the movements in Zhang Xiu's hand became even more ruthless and sharp. Two haloes of "swish" flashed by, and two disheveled Qiang heads rolled off their shoulders. The long knife moved horizontally and cut another person's throat, rashly.
The troops rushed to break through the waves and charged towards General Hu.
In deep danger, his life was in danger, but Jiahao had a numb face, cold eyes, and no fear. He was not afraid of death. Death was nothing. The things he had experienced before were a hundred times more terrifying than death. What he was afraid of was the inability to
To repay Han Sui's kindness.
When Jiahao was a boy, his tribe participated in the Qiang rebellion, which was later suppressed by Duan Jiong. All the tribesmen were reduced to slaves. Jiahao entered Jincheng and became a slave. It was a terrible nightmare that he would never dare to touch.
Han Sui saved him. Jiahao later returned to the Qiang and gradually became a powerful commander with his bravery and wisdom, but he never forgot Han Sui's life-saving grace. Therefore, Han Sui launched an army to rebel, and Jiahao did not hesitate.
He hesitated and led his people to follow him. Even though he narrowly escaped death several times, and even though his people suffered heavy losses, he had no regrets or changed his original intention.
"Kill——" Zhang Xiu's long sword was stretched horizontally, and several of his knights fell down with blood, and the blood-stained blade stabbed straight at Jia Hao.
"If you die here today, you can completely repay Han Jun's kindness..." Jiahao said silently in his heart. However, although he does not care about his own life, it does not mean that he can let the enemy take it away easily. "You want me.
If you want to kill someone else’s head, you should keep your own head first.” Jia Hao looked ferocious, swung his sword and shouted: “Kill——”….
Jia Hao completely gave up his defense and allowed the long knife to pierce his chest. He raised his sword and struck Zhang Xiu hard on the face.
Zhang Xiu is very experienced in the battlefield, and he is not panicked. He turns his wrist and raises it diagonally. The long sword that was not very deep turned around and flew away from Jia Hao's chest. He slashed at the inside of his elbow. Half of his arm was attached with a heavy sword with a copper handle.
, fell to the ground.
"Ah..." He was praised for his strong will, but when his arm was suddenly broken, he screamed loudly in pain.
When the two horses were crossing each other, Zhang Xiu slashed the side of Jia Hao's neck with his knife, flying off his head, and his screams suddenly stopped. After Zhang Xiu killed Jia Hao, he cut off the flag and then charged non-stop, waiting to be killed.
, the enemy cavalry finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed and scattered.
At this point, both cavalry wings of the coalition forces were defeated. Zhenliang and Zhang Xiu were on the left and right, and had no time to pay attention to the rout. They immediately outflanked the back of the coalition forces. At the same time, the left and right infantry of the Gai army surrounded both sides of the coalition forces, and the Chinese army also joined in.
During the battle, the coalition forces were attacked from all sides. Not to mention that they had no fighting spirit. Even if everyone was determined to live and die, they would not be able to withstand such a fierce attack.
Soon, the coalition forces were completely defeated. They escaped from the siege through the gap between the infantry and cavalry at the diagonal rear, and fled to the south like a tide.
In the center of Gai's army, the flag was flying, and Gai Yin's simple face was full of perseverance. He slowly pulled out his sword with blood on it, looked at the end of the sky in the distance, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Go straight in with all your strength.
Chang'an..."
"At one go, march straight into Chang'an..." the soldiers shouted loudly, their voices echoing through the sky.
