Chapter 6: The Storm Rises Again Section 16

The sunset is like blood.

The battle on the bluestone shore is nearing its end, and only sporadic fighting is left on the battlefield.

Li Hongzhu stood on the embankment of the Jingshui River, looking anxious.

"My lord, we didn't find Helian, and we probably have fled into Qingshi Mountain." He Feng rode over, carrying a bloody head in his hand, "This is the heroic and heroic man of Danhan Mountain, he led his men and horses to keep turning back to block the attack, delaying our pursuit speed." ”

"Leave it alone, gather people and horses immediately and rush to Boluo Valley." Li Hong waved his hand and said, "Drums, trumpets, quick, fast, ......."

The iron knights, who were galloping back and forth on the battlefield, heard the sound of the horn, turned their horses' heads one after another, and galloped towards the banks of the Jingshui River.

Xian Yufu and Yan Liang came like flying horses.

"Adult ......"

"How many more people can continue to fight?" Li Hong stretched out his hand to interrupt Xian Yufu's words and asked loudly.

Xian Yufu thought for a moment and said, "Fifteen thousand people at most." ”

"Let the old man take 5,000 people to guard the prisoners, and the rest of the soldiers who can fight immediately ride the horses of the Xianbei people and rush to Boluo Valley with the army."

"My lord, this group of soldiers has only been trained for a short time, and many of them don't know how to ride horses." Yan Liang hurriedly said, "My lord, the brothers have been marching for nearly twenty days in a row, and they have just experienced a big battle......

"Don't say it." Li Hong shouted coldly, "If you don't know how to ride a horse, tie it to a horse with a rope." ”

Xian Yufu and Yan Liang saw Li Hong's grim expression, they didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly bowed and left.

"Ling Ming, summon the Black Panther Righteous Servants, let's go first......"

Li Hong kicked the horse's belly, raised his spear, and galloped wildly, "Brothers, go to Boluo Valley, follow me to Boluo Valley to kill the enemy......"

=====================

The Xianbei people launched three attacks in a row, but each time they were driven out of the horse rejection formation, losing more than 3,000 people. Enraged, the Xianbei concentrated six thousand men and launched a fierce attack from three directions at once, left, center, and right.

After winning three consecutive battles, the Han army rejoiced, and their confidence in the rejection of the horse formation increased greatly, and they did not increase their troops to strengthen the defense. Yan Rou arranged 4,000 soldiers in the horse rejection array, but because everyone met the enemy in the horse rejection array for the first time, they had no experience and no tacit cooperation, and they were a little confused like the Xianbei people, and often went their separate ways and fought together, the result was that they injured 1,000 people and damaged 800 themselves, and they did not take a big advantage.

After the Xianbei people rushed in like a tide, the Han soldiers lost their numerical advantage again, and their defense was even more stretched. The numerical superiority of the Xianbei people helped them to achieve a quick victory, and the Han army suffered heavy casualties and retreated, and the war drums for help were fierce and fierce.

===

Lei Zhong and a few soldiers relied on a small horse rejection formation, rushed left and right, and killed several people in a row, but they were immediately surrounded by more Xianbei people. The Xianbei people launched a fierce attack with spears and bows and arrows, killing Lei Chong's five comrades one after another. Lei Zhong knew that he would die, but he was unrestrained, and he killed more heartily and invincible. After he beheaded two people in a row, he miraculously escaped from the siege. Xiao Lzy happened to bring people to the rescue, and the two sides immediately worked together to block the enemy's attack, and fought and left.

"Lei Chong, you take someone to go first, quickly, quickly." The little lazy left hand shield blocked the enemy's war knife, and the spear in his right hand stabbed into the enemy's chest fiercely, "Hurry up, hurry up...... he followed with a kick to fly the enemy's corpse, and rushed forward against the three Xianbei soldiers.

Lei Chongli ignored Xiao Lazy's shouting, yelled, chased after Xiao Lazy and killed, "Let's go together!" ”

Like a mad bison, the sloth roared and flew headlong into the oncoming enemy, while the spear in his hand was as nimble as a viper, and it was swiftly plunged into the throat of the enemy who was struck from the side.

"Let's go......"

As if he hadn't heard it, Lei Zhong took three steps in a row, roared three times in a row, slashed three times in a row, and slashed his head with a knife.

"My lord, let's go together."

More enemies pounced.

===

Yan Rou hesitated.

Behind the rejection array is a huge phalanx of four or five thousand people, if at this time from the phalanx to reinforce the rejection formation, it is bound to disrupt the defensive position of one of the phalanxes, if the Xianbei people take advantage of the situation to rush over, the consequences are unpredictable. Yan Rou saw that it was getting late, and resolutely decided to give up the horse rejection formation. It's dark, and even if the Xianbei people want to attack, they won't be so desperate.

Just when the Han army sounded the golden gong to withdraw its troops, the horn of the Xianbei people to stop the attack suddenly sounded through the mountains.

===

Looking at the Xianbei people who gradually retreated into the distance, the little lazy was relieved, his hands and feet were weak, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".

Lei Zhong stood on the ground with a knife, barely supporting his crumbling body, and gasped for breath, "My lord, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Xiao Lazy looked at the dim sky and grinned, "I told you to go, why don't you go?" Are you farting when I speak? ”

"Hehe......" Lei Chongyan laughed when he heard this, "If I had left, you would have died a long time ago." ”

"Hey...... Lazy shook his head embarrassedly and got up from the ground.

"What? The Xianbei people retreated a hundred steps? What's going on? Xiao Lazy looked forward carefully, and shouted, "Xianbei people still want to fight?" ”

"My lord, the Xianbei people are probably hungry and are going to eat." Lei Zhong laughed and said, "My lord, when are we going to eat?" ”

===

Ritsuri received a news that surprised him, the king and Lian were surrounded by the Han army on the bluestone bank sixty miles away from the Boluo Valley.

"Who said that? Who sent the message? ”

"It's the king's herald." Mang Zhengji pointed to the soldier standing behind him and said, "That's him." ”

The herald seemed to have risen from the water, his clothes damp and dry, his leather armor stained with blood, and the wound on his shoulder was still oozing blood.

Tuoba Han asked eagerly, "How did you get here?" Why are you here now? ”

"After the king led the army to the bluestone bank, he was intercepted by the Han army, and then ordered the villain to come back and urge the marshal to go south quickly." He knelt down and replied, "The villain was blocked by the Han army scouts on the way back, so he had to jump into the river with death. I saw tens of thousands of cavalry of the Han army hurrying south along the Jingshui River, and they must have gone to the bluestone bank to raid the king. ”

"Tens of thousands of cavalry?" Ritsuri asked suspiciously, "How many Han troops are there to block the king on the bluestone bank?" ”

"Hui Dashuai, there are probably tens of thousands of people?"

"How many thousands?" Ritsuri asked sharply, "You made it clear. ”

"At least 20,000 people." The herald shuddered and said loudly.

Ri deduced that he glanced back at the Han army formation in the Boluo Valley, then looked at Tuoba Han and Mang Zhengji, and said in disbelief: "The leopard has reinforcements, our news is wrong, the leopard still has reinforcements, and the leopard still has reinforcements in his hands." He turned his head abruptly and shouted, "Order, stop attacking immediately, stop attacking!" ”

"60,000 people fight 30,000 people, and the king will definitely lose. We've been tricked, we've been tricked. Ritsuri muttered to himself, his expression shocked.

"The leopard's iron rider launched a sneak attack after the king, and its power can be imagined." Tuoba said in horror, "Dashuai, now there are only tens of thousands of Han troops in Boluo Valley, as long as we break through their resistance, we can rush south and rescue the king." Handsome ......"

"No, we have too few people, too few people." "There are at least 20,000 Han troops in front, and if we want 30,000 people to completely defeat them, the cost is too great." After the army breaks through the blockade, there will be no more than 20,000 soldiers who can continue to fight south. 20,000 people to support the king, I'm afraid the strength is too thin, and the most important thing is ......"

He looked at the two of them and said worriedly, "Will the king be able to support it until that time?" If by the time we had rushed over, his 30,000 men and horses had been wiped out, would we not be killing ourselves? ”

"However, if we don't know about it, we will return to the prairie in the future......" Tuoba Han looked at Ritsuri's deduction and said with a wry smile, "None of us can survive, and sooner or later we will all be cut down by others under the pretext of this reason." ”

"Dashuai, Hao Shuai is right, if we don't send troops to rescue, sooner or later we will be exterminated when we go back, in my opinion, we would rather be defeated once than let the Tempest Tribe become a treacherous tribe that everyone on the grassland spit on." Mang Zhengji persuaded in a low voice, "Helian is the king of Xianbei Country, if you can rescue him, it will be ...... to us."

Ritsu squinted at the twilight and was speechless for a long time.

===

The sky gradually darkened, and the mouth of the valley fell into a deathly silence, except for the occasional neighing of war horses echoing in the empty mountains.

The Ritsuri Deduction stood as straight as a stake, staring at the night sky in a daze. Tuoba Han, Mang Zhengji and Bu Chuihong circled around him, anxious.

"If only the king could hold on until tomorrow morning." Bu Chuihong looked at Tuoba Han and said softly.

"We don't know the specific topography of the bluestone bank, so we can't speculate." Tuoba Han sighed, "If it is on the plain, 30,000 people against 60,000 people, there is a fight, but if it is on a narrow river valley or mountain road, then it will be ......."

"If the king holds on to it, he can hold it until tomorrow." Xiao Ao said in a low voice, "The Tu tribes of the Xiongnu and the kings of Danhan Mountain are the elite of the grassland, and the leopards may not be able to eat them quickly. ”

A fast horse galloped forward, and the sound of the horse's hooves shattered the dark silence in an instant.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......" the knight on the horse kept waving his whip and shouting loudly. The Xianbei cavalry surrounding the mountain dodged one after another, making way for them to gallop through.

"Great Marshal, Lord Tuoba Feng is leading the army to hurry up!" The knight saw Ritsuri's deduction, hurriedly flew off his horse, and said breathlessly, "My lord said that the king is alone in the depths, and he will definitely be tricked." He asked the marshal to immediately lead his troops to follow up and not to stay in Bo Luogu. ”

Seeing that it was Tuoba Feng's herald, Ri Ri couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where is Lord Tuoba Feng now?" ”

"Your Excellency is forty miles away, and you are on your way overnight." The soldier said, "In the afternoon, after receiving news from the marshal, and knowing that the king had led his troops out of the Boluo Valley, he was very worried about the king's safety, and he urged the army to speed up the march, and it is estimated that they will arrive in the middle of the night. ”

Ritsuri was overjoyed, clapping his hands and shouting, "It's good, it's good!" He didn't hesitate any longer, raised his hand and shouted: "Light the fire and attack overnight!" ”

======================

Long arrows whistled in the dark night, war horses galloped in the firelight, and the Xianbei people launched an even more fierce attack.

After desperately resisting for a while, the Han soldiers retreated.

"Run......"

"Let's go...... Walk...... Walk ......"

Hundreds of soldiers braved the rain of arrows and quickly retreated.

As soon as Lei Zhong turned around, he was shot in the thigh by a long arrow. Lei Zhong scolded angrily, dragged his injured leg and barely ran a few steps, and finally fell to the ground due to lack of strength.

The little lazy who was running suddenly found that there was a missing thunder figure around him, and hurriedly looked back.

In the distance, Lei Zhong was using his hands and feet together, crawling hard, and his mouth was still scolding loudly. A dozen paces behind him, a group of Xianbei soldiers pounced like wolves, arms held high.

"Thunder heavy...... Lei Chong......" Xiao Lazy turned around without hesitation to greet him, "Lei Chong, hurry up, hurry up......"

"Kill ......" Xiao Lazy's eyes widened angrily, his body rose into the air, and the spear in his hand pierced straight through the Xianbei soldier who was running in front, and at the same time, the shield in his left hand smashed fiercely into another enemy soldier who was about to cut with his knife. The Xianbei people were shocked by the fierceness of the little lazy, and their footsteps suddenly slowed down.

said it was late, it was fast, Xiao Lazy grabbed the thunder weight on the ground, and carried it on his shoulder with a loud roar.

"Kill ......" The little lazy tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he drank violently again, and the spear in his right hand roared, and he instantly forced back the enemy who rushed up.

"Let go of my ......," Lei Zhong shouted wildly, and threw his sword in his hand, piercing a spear-stabbed enemy alive.

"Let's go...... Let's go......" The little lazy didn't care about the enemy behind him, let go of the wild, "go ......"

More Xianbei people came up.

The Han soldiers who came back to support roared and swarmed up, and suddenly swords and guns were all down, and the battle was in a mess.

Zhang He held a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, and led a dozen soldiers to kill him from the side like a group of bloody tigers.

"Kill the Xianbei people, kill them ......"

===

The iron cavalry of the Xianbei people rushed through the horse rejection array and rushed towards the Han army formation with a furious sweep.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"

The sound of the war horse hitting the giant shield was as earth-shattering as a stormy wave, and the night sky of the Thin Valley trembled.

===

"Shoot ...... Strong archers salvo ......"

Hua Xiong chopped off the enemy's head with a knife, looked back and shouted: "Shoot all the long arrows for me, shoot them all......"

===

Bu Chuihong kicked the Han soldier with the axe, and it was a knife to face the winding road.

The head of the curved road was cut off and killed with one move.

When the soldiers of the Han army saw that Master Jun Sima was killed, they were all extremely sad and indignant, and they shouted and forgot to die.

=====================

Countless torches flowed upstreams along the Jingshui River, like a huge fire dragon flying in the night sky.

A loud roar almost shook the night.

Li Hong lay on the back of the black panther with his whole body, the horsewhip in his hand flew up and down, and he kept shouting loudly in his mouth: "Hurry...... Hurry up ......"

The black panther flew into the air on all fours, and its huge body flew almost close to the ground. It was gasping for breath, foaming at the mouth from time to time, and its strength was at its limit.

"My lord, the panther is no good, my lord ......" Pound pointed to the white foam in the panther's mouth, and shouted with all his strength, "Change the horse, my lord, change the horse quickly......"

Li Hong whipped down as if he hadn't heard it, "Quick, black panther, speed up...... Accelerate ......"

Pang De was in a hurry, so he slashed at Li Hong. Li Hong saw the flash of the knife behind him out of the corner of his eye, he didn't think about it, he instinctively roared, his body rose into the air, and he jumped on the back of the war horse next to the black panther.

"Pang Lingming......" Li Hong turned around angrily in horror and shouted, "I will split you alive!" ”

===

Da Hei was tied to his horse, his hands clutching the horse's mane tightly, and his heart was terrified to the extreme, and he felt that his internal organs and six lungs were about to be turned upside down.

He didn't know how to ride a horse, and he was even more reluctant to ride a war horse to fight, he was afraid of falling to his death. If he was not hacked to death by the Xianbei people's war knife, but was killed by the Xianbei people's war horse, it would be a big joke, so he said to his team: "My lord, you tell me where to fight, and I will run." ”

The team was so angry that they threw him a hand, and then pushed and pulled him on the horse, and then tied him with the horse with a rope.

Da Hei was so angry that he scolded. The team leader smiled and said, "Don't scold me, this is the order of the leopard lord, I want to scold you and scold him." ”

When Dahei heard that it was the leopard's order, he couldn't scold it anymore.

"You tie me up tight, don't fall halfway." Da Hei shouted, "Lao Tzu is dead, and he must die on the battlefield, and he can't die behind the horse's ass and lose the face of the leopard." ”

Dahei and more than 3,000 soldiers were tied to their horses and set off with the army.

===

Between the mountains, the torches are bright, and countless torches are like stars in the sky, many and dense.

Tuoba Feng stood on the mountain bun, looking at the army that stretched for several miles, his brows were deeply locked, and his face was full of gloom.

He Lian knew that the leopard was luring the enemy deeper, but he wanted to rush forward alone, did he have to be in such a hurry to die? He didn't want Helian to die at this time, if he died at this time, it would create Helian's prestige, and it would not be beneficial to the future of Xianbei Country at all. He hoped that Helian would be at the most opportune time, when the news of Helian's defeat would be transmitted back to Danhan Mountain, and that Helian would die when his face was gone, so that Danhan Mountain would be firmly controlled by him and ...... in the future

"My lord, Hao Shuai has news delivered."
