Wei Xing once again stood in front of Gongsun Yuan and his son, and calmly presented Yang Zuo's sword.
"General Yang died loyally. We admire his loyalty and have properly collected his body and returned it to his family." There was no smile on Wei Xing's face. He turned around and looked at the pale man.
Gongsun Xiu: "Now, do you still doubt our ability to capture Xiangping?"
Gongsun Xiu cowardly avoided Wei Xing's aggressive eyes and lowered his head. He knew that Yang Zuo wanted to persuade him to surrender, but he did not agree, so Yang Zuo died in the battle. Cheng Cheng died in the battle with Yang Zuo.
There were hundreds of soldiers, and their families would resent him because so many people had been sacrificed in vain in a war with no possibility of victory.
"I'll give you three days. In three days, my general will arrive at the gate of Xiangyang City. If the gate of Xiangping City is still closed, then you can just do it yourself." Wei Xing smiled slightly: "I can tell you that many generals don't like it.
A war like Liao Sui's was futile."
Wei Xing left, but his evil smile remained in the minds of Gongsun Yuan and his son. No merit can be achieved because the strength gap between the two sides is too big. There will be no decent war at all, so no merit can be achieved. No merit can be achieved.
They all belong to Wei Ba himself. Those generals are just here to watch the battle. Of course they don't like such a war.
However, Gongsun Yuan was unwilling to surrender. Wei Ba clearly told him that at this point, it was impossible to be crowned a king, and it was hard to say whether he could be crowned a marquis. Those who surrender after fighting are not qualified to negotiate. All you can do is surrender.
Weapons, open the city and surrender. Then resign yourself to fate.
Of course Gongsun Yuan refused to surrender, but he also had no confidence in defending Xiangping. The father and son discussed for a long time. They felt that although Wei Ba was very strong, he had a small number of cavalry and could not defeat him, so he could still escape.
So, Gongsun Yuan packed his bags overnight, took his son Gongsun Xiu and other wives, concubines, children and grandchildren, and hurriedly set off on the road to escape with the gold and silver treasures he had collected for many years. He planned to go all the way north. He fled to Xuande County first.
Looking at the situation, if Wei Ba continues to pursue, he will flee north again, all the way to the territory of the Fuyu people. He believes that Wei Ba cannot keep chasing. With these gold and silver, he believes that he can live a comfortable life.
, is definitely better than leaving it to fate.
When it was daylight, the exhausted Gongsun Yuan and his son crossed the Xiaoliao River. They stopped to take a breath and prepared to boil some hot water and eat some dry food before continuing to escape.
The water in the cauldron had just boiled, and the smell of meat had just begun to waft out, when a scout came to report that two thousand enemy cavalry had been discovered.
Gongsun Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was not unprepared when he fled. There were also three thousand cavalry around him. These cavalry were all elites he had accumulated over the years, and their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of ordinary Hu cavalry. Even with Wu, who is known as the famous cavalry in the world.
Compared with the Huan cavalry, they are not necessarily inferior. For many years, this has been the most elite force of the Gongsun family.
Wei Ba was so arrogant that he only sent two thousand cavalry to pursue him. Of course, he had to be taught a lesson and let him know that the Gongsun family that had dominated Liaodong for more than 40 years was not a sick cat.
Gongsun Yuan ordered Gongsun Xiu to personally lead the troops to meet the enemy, and he must give these Shu Han cavalry a show of strength. Gongsun Xiu also knew that he would inevitably have to deal with those barbarians in the future. If he wanted to save his life, he had to show his strength and defeat these Shu Han.
The cavalry may be the only thing he can boast about.
Gongsun Xiu led three thousand cavalry to meet them, their horses galloping with momentum like a rainbow.
In the distance, Wei Ba's personal guard cavalry general Tang Qianyu saw the smoke in the distance, sighed softly, and said to the deputy general Zhu Yi who was walking side by side: "We brothers have been practicing cavalry for many years, and this time we finally have the ability."
In a decent cavalry battle, you must not lose the majesty of the soldiers, otherwise, even if you die, you will be ridiculed by those old brothers."
"That's natural." Zhu Yi put down his visor, picked up his long knife, and patted the horse's butt: "I hope Gongsun Yuan's bodyguard won't be too bad."
"Of course." Tang Qianyu smiled slightly, put down his face armor, raised the spear in his hand, and sighed: "Throw away the second horse and speed up the charge!"
The messenger beat the war drum and passed on Tang Qianyu's order.
Two thousand knights jumped on the back of the armored war horse, loosened the reins of the second horse, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and started galloping. The second horse slowed down and broke away from the formation. Under the guidance of dozens of knights,
Under the guidance, he went to eat grass nearby.
"Accelerate, accelerate!" Zhu Yi took the lead and rushed to the front, holding the long sword tightly with both hands. He was tall and powerful, and had as much strength as the heavy armored soldier, so he also used the same long sword as the heavy armored soldier.
Acted as the vanguard of the assault.
A thousand heavily armored cavalry followed closely behind, setting off a frenzied rush, and charged towards the increasingly approaching elite cavalry of the Yan army.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Gongsun Xiu couldn't help being surprised by the Shu Han knights who seemed to be getting closer and closer. This was the first time in his life that he saw a cavalry with both men and horses in full armor. For the soldiers of Liaodong, it was a great sight
The standard iron armor for soldiers in the Central Plains is good. Even high-ranking generals cannot have a pair of thin-leaf fine armor. Most of them have leather armor. As for war horses, it is good to have a layer of cloth to protect them from the wind.
How is it possible that both men and horses are wearing iron armor, and this kind of armor seems to be very well-made?
Many people think of the legend from a few years ago.
The wolf god appeared, and the god general Wei Ba showed his power in Bailang Mountain. He defeated Guanqiu Jian's thousand cavalry with more than a hundred cavalry. As soon as Guanqiu Jian saw Wei Ba, he lost his soul and surrendered. He claimed that humans cannot fight with gods. From then on, he became
He killed one of Wei Ba's generals. And those cavalrymen who scared Guanqiu Jian out of fear were even men and horses wearing iron armor, majestic and majestic, like the god of war descending.
Could it be...that's what's in front of you?
Panic had just emerged in the hearts of the Yan Army knights, and before it could spread, Zhu Yi rushed in front of them. The formation of the heavy armored soldiers was a bit cumbersome, not the common flying geese formation, but with two wings in front, and the Chinese army was slightly behind.
The eagle-shaped formation is a standard formation in which the strong attacks the weak. The purpose is to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, not just to penetrate the position.
This is the cavalry formation used by Tian Fu and Zhang Xiong against Wei Feng.
Although nervous, the knights of the Yan Army instinctively shot out the arrows in their hands, attacked with bows and arrows, and then attacked with their horses and spears. This was the standard mode of riding combat on the grassland. In many cases, the power of bows and arrows was
It is enough to cause heavy losses to the opponent and determine the outcome.
However, the knights of the Yan Army were once again shocked. Not only did the opponent show no signs of raising their bows to shoot, they did not even think of raising their shields to block the arrows. They also did not speed up again, as if they did not see the arrows flying in the sky at all, they were so calm.
Rushed over.
The moment the two sides came into contact and the two horses crossed each other, Zhu Yi's long sword flew up and chopped off a head with one strike. At the same time, two swords slashed on his shoulders and back, wiping out two sparks and a series of harsh sounds.
The friction sound.
Unscathed.
In the surprised gaze of Yan Jun's knight, the long sword flashed and killed another person.
In cavalry hedging, unless it is a last resort, horses will rarely be used to directly hit each other. Otherwise, even if the opponent is knocked over, he will not be able to escape death. Therefore, the formations of both sides will leave gaps to allow the other side to rush over. The battle between the two sides occurs.
Among the knights on horseback, at the moment when the two swords cross each other, whoever can thrust out the spear in his hand first or cut off the sword in his hand will have an extra chance of winning and an extra hope of survival.
When charging, the person at the front is most likely to die, because no matter how fast his hands and feet are, it is difficult for any person to face the continuous slashing and stabbing coming at him.
Hold on until you break out of the enemy formation.
Those who dare to rush to the front are the bravest warriors, and they are also the ones with the highest death rate. Except for those fierce men with extraordinary talents and blessings from God, few people can maintain the state of rushing into battle. There can be one or two in a lifetime.
The experience of being the first to charge into battle is enough to be proud of.
In one breath, Zhu Yi beheaded three Yan Jun knights, and was slashed five times and stabbed with two spears. If it had been before, he would have died long ago, but now he is still alive and well. Although those swords
It hit him, but it couldn't cut through his armor, so it could almost be ignored. On the contrary, the spears that stabbed him caused him a lot of trouble, and almost pushed him off the horse.
Zhu Yi clamped his legs on the horse's back and struggled forward, and soon saw Gongsun Xiu.
Gongsun Xiu had a look of horror on his face, his eyes widened, and he held up the sword in his hand, but he didn't know where to swing it. He was stunned by what he saw. The elite cavalry was struck by the impact of the opponent, as if they were struck down by a guillotine.
The forage was shortened, and the number of enemy cavalry rushing in front of him was staggering. Under normal circumstances, the number of cavalry that could rush into the Chinese army was very limited, and most of them fell off their horses during the charge.
Or died in battle.
But today's situation was a bit strange. The enemy who appeared in front of him seemed to be the enemy who had been charging at the front. His burly figure was easy to identify. Although his armor and the long knife in his hand were stained with blood, they were not.
He regained his brightness, but revealed an even stronger murderous aura.
How could he still be alive?
Before Gongsun Xiu could react, Zhu Yi also recognized Gongsun Xiu. He kicked his horse fiercely and rushed towards Gongsun Xiu. He raised his knife and dropped it, killing three people in a row. At the moment when the horse passed by, the long knife came from behind.
He stood up and cut off half of Gongsun Xiu's body with one strike.
In one charge, three thousand Yan cavalry lost nearly 600 cavalry. Gongsun Xiu died in the battle, while the losses of Shu Han's heavy armored cavalry were negligible.
The surviving Yan Qi sat on the horse in a daze, and they even forgot to escape. Looking at everything in front of them, they still couldn't believe their eyes. I don't know how long it took, but a knight slipped from the horse.
He came down, threw away the war horse in his hand, took off his helmet, knelt on the ground and rested his forehead on the ground.
Then, more than two thousand Yan's elite cavalry fell to their knees and raised their hands in surrender.
They still had the strength to fight, but they lost the desire and courage to fight. Gongsun Xiu died in battle, and they could not obtain Gongsun Yuan's forgiveness, and they had no one to be loyal to.
Half an hour later, King Yan Gongsun Yuan was captured, and the Gongsun family that had dominated Liaodong for forty years was destroyed.
