Chapter 342 A Thousand Armies Slash Like a Rainbow
After all, Li Guang, the general of the cavalry, was still relieved, and sent his general Feng De to lead two thousand Yanmen Pass foot soldiers out of the city to respond. It's just that when they arrived at the place where the smoke started, they saw that half a mile away from the burned down solid mountain, at the foot of the mountain, in a wide place, a tragic scene that had just been fought fiercely was already visible.
There were corpses of the Hun cavalry everywhere, either arrow wounds or knife wounds, and some men and horses were all killed, lying down among the dry grass together. Some of the masters died, and the war horses were frightened and wandered around, but it was cheaper for the Yanmen defenders, and Feng De ordered his subordinates to collect these horses, and he was already shocked in his heart.
"Generals, generals, these Huns...... Were they all killed by the young lieutenant and his hundred men? ”
The men and men cleared the battlefield, and their hearts were more surprised than their generals. It's unbelievable! They were dispatched by the cavalry general to rush here, and it was only more than half an hour later than the Black Eagle Army's squad, and they ended the battle so quickly? Moreover, the killing was so clean and neat, searching the entire battlefield, and not a single corpse of the Black Eagle Army knight was found, doesn't this mean that they completely defeated an enemy ten times their size without losing a single person themselves, and most of them were eliminated!
"That's how it should be! The Black Hawks are really powerful...... Looking at the traces on this earth, they must have not stopped after the victory, and went straight north to pursue the remnants of the enemy. This is to eliminate all the Huns who are with the enemy, and it is really a disciple of Changle Hou, amazing! ”
Feng De is also a veteran of the border pass, and it is indeed the first time he has seen such a powerful Han army. He had seen Yuan Zhao's power with his own eyes back then, but he didn't expect that his disciples were not inferior. At the moment, he secretly admired in his heart, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but secretly worry, although it was admirable to say that the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, but Huo Qubing dared to go north to pursue with a hundred horsemen, which was too reckless.
"You still have to hurry back and report to General Xiaocai...... It would be bad if the Black Hawks encountered a large group of Hun cavalry and fell into an ambush. ”
Thinking of this, Feng De didn't dare to delay his efforts any longer, and hurriedly led his troops back to Yanmen Pass with the captured booty to report to Li Guang, leaving it alone for the time being.
It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, gallop and chase the north! Seeing that the opportunity was not good, some of the Hun cavalry who fled in a hurry were gradually chased and killed one by one, and when the last guy who had already been frightened was overtaken by the "champion" and cut off his head with a red ray, the game of the chase finally came to an end.
This place is about seventy or eighty miles away from Yanmen Pass, Huo Qu is sick and strangled the horse's head, Longma seems a little reluctant, just to find a little fun running, the master is about to stop?
Huo Quzhi gently stroked its neck, signaled a little restlessness, and waited for the Black Eagle Army knights from far and near behind to catch up, and after counting the number of people, he saw that there was no shortage of one, except for a few minor injuries, no one was lost, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied.
None of the more than 1,000 Hun cavalry was able to escape, and all of them died at the hands of this Black Eagle squad. Achieving such a result in the first attack made everyone very excited.
It was already the site of overgrown Han and Hungarian warfare, and a barren scene stretched to the north, with the wind blowing in the face, mixed with snowflakes and sand hitting the cheeks and causing pain. After the battle, the iron armor was cold, and at this time everyone felt the biting cold attack, and began to gradually freeze the joy of victory.
"It's too cold...... Forget it, let's go back here. I wanted to take this opportunity to go north to investigate, but the weather was unbearable! ”
The body wrapped in the red robe shrunk, the lips that were blown by the wind, the frostbite on the hands and feet in her ears hurt a little, after this half-day chase and fighting, some of the scabs cracked again, she gritted her teeth and endured it, and never complained.
Huo Quzhi has been by Yuan Zhao's side for the past few years, and it can be said that he has not suffered a trace of suffering. On Changle Plateau, she is always the first to taste the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhao, and there are many other delicious things, and after tasting all the delicious foods in the world, her appetite has long been spoiled.
However, since Yuan Zhao's Eastern Expedition, she came to the Northern Xinjiang Army with her uncle Wei Qing, although she got what she wanted, she wore armor and horses with the army, but she gradually tasted a lot of hardships.
The girl's family is always afraid of the cold, even if she has learned to cultivate, she is no exception. Here, what Huo Qubing was most afraid of was not facing the thousands of troops and horses of the Huns, but the cold and rough diet.
Whenever those military meals were placed in front of her, it was simply hard to swallow. But if she doesn't eat, she can't do it, no one will give her something special, and the idea of begging her uncle Wei Qing to improve the food was thought about once in her mind, but when she thought of her uncle's serious face, she automatically dispelled this thought.
Reluctantly swallowed a few mouthfuls of the army's food, and endured the tears of grievance, Huo Quzhi would think of the worldly delicacies that were magically made from Yuan Zhao's hands in the big dining room of Changle Yuan. It was only at such a moment that she regretted a little, why did she come here to eat sand?
There was so much sand that even in this snowy day, there was a lot of gravel in the wind. Huo Quzhi knew that everyone was like her, and these parts of her hands, feet, and face had already been frostbitten, but everyone endured it.
Rubbing the blood stains oozing from the cracks on the back of his hands on his cloak, the young cavalry captain waved his hand, turned his gaze and wanted to lead everyone back the way they came, the weather was so cold, it was better to go back to the camp to rest.
Ryoma Champion's ears suddenly stood up, and his front hooves shook the ground a few times, making a slight hiss. Huo Quzhi's heart moved, and he could already vaguely smell the smell of danger in the envelope that came from the direction of the wind.
Seeing the warning given by Captain Huo with gestures, all the Black Eagle Army knights grabbed the reins tightly in their hands and looked together in the direction where the danger was about to appear.
Under the billowing smoke and dust, I didn't know when it started, and the Hun cavalry team with black pressure spread out on three sides. Maybe it was because the snow and wind and sand blocked the view, and I didn't notice it at all earlier, but now I suddenly found that the other party had entered the range that the horsepower could catch.
The faces of the Black Eagle soldiers were a little grim, although they were brave and good at fighting, the situation in front of them was extremely unfavorable. These Hun cavalry obviously came out of the nearby camp, with a total of nearly 10,000 people, and they should have received an urgent report from the ranger post, so they sent out to encircle and suppress the Han army that appeared.
At this time, the two armies are separated by three arrows, although they can't see each other's faces clearly, but the disparity in strength between the two sides is obvious, this is not the thousand Hun cavalry just now, but more than 10,000 brigades, if you want to fight with only a hundred people, it is absolutely impossible.
Huo Quzhi took out a simple "telescope" from the marching leather bag, carefully checked the opponent's lineup, and saw that these fierce grassland men looked vicious, and the scimitars were bright, but they did not attack for the time being after standing in formation, so they must have been watching this side.
The situation is already very critical, maybe the next moment the Huns will gallop over with thousands of horses and kill them, and they will definitely die if they fight with their strength. And at this time, turning the horse's head and fleeing, it is difficult to escape under the chase of ten thousand horses. Several of the Black Eagle knights at the head glanced at each other, and they all understood each other's decisions.
"Captain Huo, please go yourself! Your horse is fast, and the Huns can't catch up. Now that life and death are at stake, don't worry too much! It was also a decision shared by all of us. ”
When one of them finished speaking, the rest of the group nodded their heads together. If there is anyone who can escape under the current situation, it is only Captain Huo, who relies on the power of Tianshan Dragons and Horses.
However, what they didn't expect was that Captain Huo, who had only been together for more than half a month, shook his head, and the look on his face was very firm. She put away the red-fire sword and patted the champion's horse's head. remembered a belief that Yuan Zhao had instilled in her a long time ago, no matter how difficult and dangerous the situation, she must never give up easily, let alone lose her proportions. There is always a way, it depends on whether you can think of it.
As long as it is a comrade who has fought side by side, it cannot be easily abandoned, if a soldier only cares about his own safety and escapes, as long as such a thing happens once, no matter how brave he is in the future, this kind of psychological cowardice will never be eliminated.
"Needless to say! Now I order, in my capacity as a captain of the Black Hawk Army, to stop all of my horses! Take a break here. ”
The faint words came out, but the majesty contained was unquestionable. The Black Hawk Riders all looked up in astonishment, suspecting that something was wrong with their ears. But what you see in front of you is very real.
The sand dunes are half slopes, the barren grass is many, the land of a hundred battles, and the opportunities are ever-changing. The young general of the Han family was in front of the thousands of tigers and wolves who were eyeing him, talking and laughing freely, binding his armor, dismounting, and sitting on the ground ......!
At the same time, Wei Qing, the general of the chariot cavalry stationed in the Yunzhong area, also received the news that Huo Qubing had sent a hundred cavalry troops into the north, and he couldn't help but be surprised. The reason why she was reluctant to take her to Northern Xinjiang was because she was afraid that she would be arrogant and didn't know what would be difficult to clean up, and she was really afraid of something, but she didn't see it, so she still did it.
Such a rash and angry person is really like her master Yuan Zhao, which is simply in the same vein. However, how could she have the luck and resourcefulness of Changle Hou! If this is ambushed by the Huns, what can I do......?!
Wei Qing frowned, looking at the snow outside, he was already secretly thinking about whether to advance the Black Eagle Army's plan to attack in a big way, but thinking of the many unfavorable factors that might be brought about by the cold, he hesitated in his heart again, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
A few hundred miles to the east, there were 3,000 elite cavalry coming in the direction of Yanmen Pass with the aftermath of the great victory. They were followed by a vast array of baggage vehicles. Surrounded by three high-spirited flying cavalry generals, the first person returned from the destruction of the country, and it was ...... young man!
