Chapter 83: The Fierce Battle (2)
Duan Ye was actually very painful. The pain is not because something unfair has happened, but because the body is really going to be unable to hold on.
Because he didn't expect that once Lu Su was over, he would no longer listen to anyone's words, and repeatedly ordered the whole army to speed up. They were not allowed to rest, they were not allowed to camp and sleep, and even left behind the occasional few people who fell behind.
The accompanying generals persuaded each other, but if they didn't listen, Duan Ye came to persuade them, and they didn't stop. A guard who grew up with Lu Su since he was a child and was almost no different from his brother also came to persuade him, Lu Su was angry and directly cut off his head! And said viciously: "Your Majesty has given me full power, and those who say it again will be killed!" ”
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Lu Su's face was full of tears, and he said, "Don't I know the hardships of marching day and night? However, I have calculated the distance, and if we march day and night, we can reach the northwest of Zoumachuan by noon tomorrow, so that we can join the battlefield at the most anxious time of the battle, so that we can be of the greatest help to my father! Ah Fu grew up with me since childhood, don't I have feelings for him? There is no way, this battle must be won! “
Everyone was silent, even Ah Fu dared to kill, who else did he dare not kill? It's not that a one-day and one-night rapid march is impossible, but here, it's simply the vast Gobi.
Along the way, there were no plants, no water, no oases, and the army found no signs of life except for a few yellow sheep and some poplars that had long since died for many years.
Some people are tired, some people are gritting their teeth, but no one is complaining. Because, they can see very clearly, the beloved son Lu Su under the festival has long been pale, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead from time to time, but everyone can also see that he has been carrying a knife and carrying a horse, walking at the front of the team.
Also, the weak Duan joined the army and followed him all the time, not like a literati at all.
They've all done it, so what else is there to say? Let's fight hard.
Duan Ye also miraculously found that after surviving the most painful period, his body had eased up, and his strength had returned to him, and at the same time, there was a lot of respect in the eyes of Lu Su beside him. No wonder this son is so valued by Lu Guang. Persistence, ruthlessness, and indomitable progress, isn't this the quality that Renjun needs most?
Under the scorching sun, they gritted their teeth and persevered, and in the night, except for the dozens of torches that led the way at the front, they extinguished everything, they controlled the water and food, they tried to control the tracks, they killed 8 scouts along the road, and on a few occasions almost let the scouts release the arrows, but fortunately, they did not succeed.
It's dawn! A towering snow-capped mountain appeared in front of him, and a sand willow appeared on the ground, and this army, which had traveled hundreds of miles, finally saw the dawn!
********************
In the Qin army, the sound of drums echoed each other, resounding all over the world, the soldiers listened, all of them doubled their courage, and the 60,000 Qin troops who had not yet come into contact with the enemy in the rear team formed a neat and vast phalanx, stepping on the rhythm of the drums, step by step, approaching the Hu coalition army.
Na Long, the main general of the Qianghu who had just gotten rid of the entanglement of a Qin soldier, couldn't help laughing wildly when he saw this, "It's really beyond my strength that tens of thousands of infantry dare to fight against our army!" ”
The other Hu cavalry also laughed wildly, and Na Long immediately ordered to attack, only to hear Hu Jiao's long roar, more than 100,000 ironclad cavalry, rushing up like a sea of mountains, and the rest of the leather rope army also swarmed up without hesitation. They tried to take advantage of their numerical superiority to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop.
This time, thousands of horses galloped and shook like a mountain. This time, the Hu soldiers gathered and the momentum was compelling. No matter how brave a warrior is, he will be afraid in the face of such a terrifying momentum.
The sharp pawns in the front row of the Qin army held back the great fear in their hearts, and when the enemy cavalry rushed in, they all leaned over to find the horses and feet of the enemy cavalry, but the battlefield was cruel, and in many cases, it was impossible to operate according to the expected situation.
The Qin soldiers in the first few rows didn't have time to make a move at all, and they were knocked over by the rushing horses. Countless brave soldiers have not had a chance to kill the enemy, so they have lost their young lives.
However, the efforts of the victims in front will not be in vain, because the Qin soldiers in the back have started one after another, or hooked or chopped, and suddenly the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the war horses of the Hu army fell to the ground with a long neigh, knocking the armored warriors to the ground, and the follow-up Qin soldiers who had been holding back for a long time took the opportunity to go up, wielding swords and axes and slashing wildly, venting their anger and grief on their bodies.
The battlefield is so cruel, soon the follow-up Hu soldiers were blocked by the horses that fell in front, and they also turned over on their backs, for a while, the originally imposing Hu people were actually blocked alive, and the Qin soldiers slashed and slashed to their heart's content! Slash and slash again! The blood of the Huhu people flowed like a river, and the blood poured into the Zouma River, which was no longer blue, dyeing the river red, and it was miserable.
Surrounded by a group of brave Qin soldiers, Na Long saw rows of heavily armored cavalry fall to the ground with a bang, and died one after another, he was shocked and ordered to retreat, but this kind of behavior of the whole army charging, it is easy to charge, and retreating will almost certainly cause irreparable defeat.
At this moment, Kang Sheng, Yang Ying, with the two wings of cavalry that had been waiting for a long time, suddenly rushed forward, although the number of these two cavalry was not much, but they were all the elite of the rest of the battle, they skillfully brandished the sabers, cutting the heads of the leather rope sergeants, and soon like wedges, embedded in the army formation of the Hu army.
At this time, the casualties of the Hu army were even heavier. However, after all, they were the most powerful army in the Western Regions, and at this time, Hou Jiangkui personally led more than 10,000 iron cavalry to join the battle, and they gave up attacking the Qin army's array head-on, and instead chose to divide their troops to meet the Qin army's cavalry. They knew very well that once the Qin army cut through their own side of the formation and completed the division and encirclement, then everything would be over.
The trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention the army, Hou Jiangkui is worthy of being a famous brave general, he used a big axe, and Peng Huang fought together, and he didn't fall behind for a while! And his subordinates Hu Qi were even more desperate, fighting to the death in order to cover the dragon, and for a while, the battlefield formed a scorching trend.
At this critical moment, with a desolate horn sounding, a Qin army suddenly appeared from the northwest direction of the Hu army! They all looked tired and dusty, but their eyes were red, and they looked like they were choosing someone to devour.
Lu Su was the first to howl and rush into the enemy formation, only to see that his spear was like a poisonous snake letter, stretching and shrinking and sweeping, and several bearded soldiers with animal skin and feather crowns fell, and the strong smell of blood made Duan Ye almost vomit again.
But at this moment, a cavalryman who was a round stronger than Duan Ye touched it, shouted, and slashed at Duan Ye with a knife!
Almost instinctively, Duan Ye dodged the thunderous knife on the side of his body, and at the same time, his right hand just pushed forward flatly, and suddenly felt as if the knife had sunk in.
When you look closely, the sharp tip of the knife has already cut through the samurai's chest! His eyes widened unwillingly, looked at Duan Ye, and then fell off the horse.
I killed someone! This was Duan Ye's first thought.
