Chapter 1187: Struggle to procrastinate
The all-out attack of the Shu army immediately put the two thousand Han troops led by Wu Han into passivity.
Wu Han made a quick decision and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.
However, Wu Han did not retreat too far, taking advantage of the Shu army to chase up, some people were in front, some people were behind, and the formation was not in order, he led his troops to fight back, and the Shu army that rushed to the front retreated again.
When the brigade of the Shu army followed, he led his troops to retreat.
In this battle, it is impossible for the 2,000 Han army to win, and it is impossible for the 2,000 people to defeat the 30,000 army.
Wu Han led his troops to fight and retreat, and the soldiers around him were fighting less and less.
The Han army gradually changed from 2,000 to 1,500 and then to 1,000, and after half an hour, there were only 7 or 800 Han soldiers left around Wu Han, and most of them were wounded.
When Wu Han was about to meet the enemy again, a scout ran up from the rear.
Wu Han called the scout to his front, and he asked breathlessly, "The main force of our army, can you retreat to Jiangxi?" β
The scout shook his head and said, "Da Sima, there is still some grain and grass in the camp and 5,000 soldiers who have not had time to evacuate!" β
After hearing this, Wu Han sent away the scouts and said to the surrounding generals: "Brothers, follow me to charge the enemy formation again!" β
Every charge, for the soldiers of the Han army, is like going to the ghost gate, if you are lucky, you can get lucky, but if you are lucky, you will never come back.
Wu Han led the remnants of seven or eight hundred people and took the initiative to meet the Shu army that pursued and killed.
At the moment of contact between the two sides, Wu Han opened the halberd, swept and slashed, and cut down more than a dozen people of the Shu army.
At this moment, a group of Shu cavalry rushed up, and the Shu army led by them stabbed Wu Han with spears.
Seeing that the other party was menacing, Wu Han dodged sideways, and when the war horse was about to run past him, he poked the tail of the war halberd on the ground, and the tip of the halberd tilted forward.
A pop was heard in the ear chakra, and the edge of the war halberd pierced the lower abdomen of the Shu cavalry, forcing the opponent off the horse.
In normal times, Wu Han would not use such a skill, and his own strength was enough to pick off the cavalry in the charge.
But now, he has a few arrow wounds on his body, and his vitality has not recovered, and he has been fighting for so long, even if he is as fierce as Wu Han, he is a little powerless.
The first cavalryman died tragically under the silver halberd of Hu Weiliang, and the second cavalry followed one after another, and the spear was still pierced into Wu Han's chest.
Wu Han bent down to dodge, took advantage of the situation to swing the halberd, click, a horse's leg was cut off, the horse pounced forward, and the cavalry on the horse was also planted on the ground, the sound of broken neck was clearly audible, and he was killed on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, several cavalrymen rushed over, three spears, in a straight line, and went straight to Wu Han.
Wu Han snorted and waved his halberd outward.
With two clicks, the two spears that pierced over were swept away by the sharp edge of the war halberd, and the other spear was pierced by Wu Han's shoulder, piercing a hole in the armor piece on his shoulder, and even with it, it also hurt the flesh of his shoulder and neck.
Wu Han was in pain, roared angrily, and crashed out sideways, knocking the opponent sideways with men and horses to the ground, unable to get up from the ground, Wu Han smashed a halberd on the top of the opponent's head.
With a snap, the cavalryman's helmet was smashed flat, and the skulls were smashed and deformed.
Dealing with the menacing cavalry of the Shu army, Wu Han was very difficult, and even hung colors on his body from time to time, and the situation of the rest of the Han soldiers can be imagined.
After barely killing and wounding dozens of enemy cavalry, the cavalry of the Shu army temporarily retreated and changed to infantry to go into battle.
Wu Han immediately ordered to retreat.
Seven or eight hundred Han troops, six or seven hundred of whom were torn down by Wu Han, and more than 100 soldiers were lost on the battlefield and never withdrew.
The two sides fought and ran, back and forth, and clashed for half an hour.
There are only 200 soldiers of the Han army around Wu Han.
On the other hand, the Shu army that pursued them could not see the decrease in number at all, and the number of people became as if it were even more.
The actual situation is indeed the case, the battle has been fought for so long, and there are still groups of Shu troops running out of the camp in a steady stream to join the battle.
Just when Wu Han felt that he was about to lose his support, the rear came to scout again and reported the news to Wu Han that his army and the grain and grass were all withdrawn to the coast of Jiangdong.
Hearing the news, Wu Han was relieved and shouted to the remaining two hundred brothers around: "Retreat! All withdraw to the camp! β
It's just that now, it's not so easy for them to withdraw.
Among the 200 Han soldiers, most of them were seriously wounded, and they couldn't stand steadily, let alone run back to their own camp.
Ding Kuang was covered in injuries, and the blood on his body was dripping down.
He staggered to Wu Han's approach, and said weakly: "Da Sima retreat first!" I'm waiting for the queen of the Great Sima Palace! β
Wu Han was angry and shouted angrily: "If you want to go, go together!" β
Ding Kuang shook his head and said, "Da Sima, I have no strength anymore!" Da Sima rest assured, even if we are crushed, we will never surrender to the Shu thief! β
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Mou, who was slightly injured, and said, "General Wang, you protect Da Sima, quickly retreat!" β
"General Dingβ" "If you don't leave, it's too late!" Come on! β
Under Ding Kuang's repeated urging, Wang Mou stomped his feet, forcibly pulled Wu Han, and shouted to the soldiers around him who could still move: "Withdraw!" β
Wang Mou took Wu Han and dozens of lightly wounded Han soldiers and ran towards his own camp.
Ding Kuang stayed where he was, watching Wu Han and his party disappear into the night, he retracted his gaze, glanced at the seriously wounded soldiers around him, and said in a shocking voice: "Today's battle is a battle to the death, brothers, are you willing to go to Huangquan with me?" β
The soldiers who were originally sitting on the ground supported their bodies with weapons, stood up tremblingly, and shouted in unison: "I am willing to follow the general and fight to the death with the thief!" β
"It's worthy of being a strong man! Brothers, follow me to the enemy again! β
Ding Kuang held the long knife in both hands, roared, and took the initiative to meet the enemy in front of him.
More than 100 seriously injured officers and soldiers of the Han army, knowing that they were unable to retreat, took the initiative to meet the crowded Shu army.
This is a suicidal charge, but also a moth to the fire type of battle, more than 100 Han soldiers, in the sea of people in the Shu army could not splash a little splash, was drowned by the Shu army.
The cavalry of the Shu army went into battle again, chasing after Wu Han and others.
How can the two legs of Wu Han and others outrun the four legs of a war horse?
It didn't take long for the cavalry of the Shu army to chase behind Wu Han and others.
Under the cavalry, in just an instant, three Han soldiers were crucified to the ground.
Wu Han, who was originally running in front, stopped, held the halberd, turned around and ran back, and between the walks, the halberd swept out, and the two war horses neighed and fell to the ground, the horse's belly was cut open, and the intestines flowed to the ground.
The two fallen Shu soldiers had just gotten up from the ground and were killed by Wu Han with a halberd.
Wu Han held the halberd, faced the Shu cavalry, launched a counter-charge, the halberd waved, and the cavalry who ran past him fell off their horses one after another.
But he can kill one enemy and ten enemies, but he can't kill all of them.
After a short time, the cavalry surrounded Wu Han, and a circle of cavalry, all with spears, attacked Wu Han.
Wu Han couldn't take the attack of so many spears, his body rolled on the ground, and the hooves of the war horse stepped past the side of his face and armpits, and stepped on him dangerously.
Taking advantage of the opponent's round of attacks, Wu Han jumped up from the ground, slashed forward with a halberd, and a cavalryman with his back to him was slashed on the back by the war halberd, screamed, turned over and fell off his horse.
But soon, the second round of cavalry siege rushed again.
Just when Wu Han was about to hold a halberd to defeat the enemy, Wang Mou led dozens of Han troops to kill from outside the encirclement, and the Shu cavalry, who were already ready for siege, rushed into chaos, and the siege was also dissolved.
Wang Mou held a narrow sword of chopping horses, and while chopping the legs of the surrounding Shu cavalry, he shouted at Wu Han: "Da Sima, this way! β
Wu Han didn't think about it, he ran over quickly, and at this time, a Shu cavalryman caught up from behind him, and his spear pierced him in the back of the heart.
Wu Han's back seemed to have eyes, and his waist twisted to the side, dodging the opponent's killing moves, and the spear pierced through his armpit.
Without waiting for the other party to collect the spear, Wu Han shrank his arm and clamped the spear shaft of the spear under his armpit, his body turned suddenly, and the Shu soldier with the spear was forced to get off the war horse by him.
Wu Han picked up the spear and stabbed the opponent to the ground with a spear, then turned around and waved his arm outward, and the spear flew out, stabbing the second cavalryman who chased him to the heart.
The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and even if Wu Han had fought to the point that he was wounded, even if he was already exhausted, killing the enemy was still like chopping wood and chopping vegetables.
It's just that under the siege of the Shu cavalry, Wu Han and the others wanted to retreat with their whole body, but it was almost impossible, and they couldn't outrun the opponent's war horse with just two legs.
Wu Han, Wang Mou and others desperately broke out, and after not running a few steps, they were caught up by the Shu cavalry, surrounded by cavalry, and then desperately broke out again, ran not far, were caught up again, and were surrounded again.
Under such repetition, gradually Wu Han and Wang Mou were left with only seven or eight Han soldiers.
Just when the Shu cavalry thought that victory was in sight and that they would be able to capture Wu Han alive immediately, suddenly, a group of black-clothed people appeared on the battlefield as if they had fallen from the sky, and the black-clothed men were all holding crossbows in their hands, and they continuously fired arrows at the Shu cavalry.
The Shu cavalry was caught off guard by the killing of this group of black-clothed men, and in an instant, at least thirty or forty people fell from their horses with arrows.
Seeing this, Wu Han's eyes lit up, and he said to Wang Mou and the others: "Get on the horse!" β
Wu Han, Wang Mou and others grabbed the reins of the lost war horse and turned over on the horse one by one.
The Shu cavalry was willing to let them escape, and rushed up again, and before Wu Han and others could meet the enemy, dozens of black-clothed men had already run forward and continued to release arrows.
Bang Bang Bang! The sound of crossbows was heard incessantly, and the cavalry that rushed up fell one after another with arrows.
A man in black ran up to Wu Han and said, "Gong Wu, hurry back to the camp!" β
Wu Han looked down and saw that the man in black turned out to be Hua Feiyan.
At this time, Wu Handun understood the identity of these black-clothed people, and it turned out that they were all from Yunxi Pavilion.
"Flower ...... You come with me! β
Nonsense! If you don't leave, will you stay and wait for death?
Hua Feiyan grabbed a nearby war horse, flew up, and blew the whistle while running towards the Han camp.
The chirping whistle was sharp and harsh, and the black-clothed people no longer loved to fight, each looking for a horse, jumping on the war horse, turning the horse's head, and following Hua Feiyan.
When the Shu cavalry then pursued, they turned their waists on their horses and shot all the crossbow arrows in the repeater without reservation.
For a time, the cavalry of the Shu army turned over on their backs, and were shot over by more than 20 horsemen with horses.
The place where they were now fighting was less than a mile away from the Han camp, and within a few minutes, they saw the Han army camp in front.
The gates of the camp were wide open, and torches were planted around them, but not even a single Han soldier could be seen.
Entering the camp, the situation was the same, the torches were lined up and lined up, but as far as the eye could see, the whole camp was empty, there was no life, and there were not even a few tents left, it was a completely empty camp.
Hua Feiyan quickly whipped up, crossed Wu Han, and said without looking back: "Duke Wu comes with me!" β
Wu Han looked at the dazzled and heroic back, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
In the march and battle, Wu Han has always looked down on women, believing that women have no other role than to add chaos and solve the physical needs of the soldiers.
And now, on the battlefield of nine deaths, he was saved by the woman Hua Feiyan.
