Chapter 6: The Storm Rises Again Section 15

Yan Rou looked at the long hillside, her brows furrowed.

"The Boluo Valley is low, and if the Xianbei people rush down from the mountain, their speed and momentum are very amazing." Jade pointed to the horse rejection array behind him and asked worriedly, "Ziyu, can this thing withstand it?" ”

"It's definitely not a problem to resist for a while." Hua Xiong said with a smile, "When we were in Fanting Mountain, we used tree barriers to block the Xianbei people for four days, not to mention the use of horses. ”

"The power of rejecting a horse is far greater than that of a tree barrier, let alone a rejecting array." Gao Ran exclaimed, "We are all familiar with the rejection of horses, but we never thought that rejection of horses could be used like this, this idea is clever." ”

"If Bo Luogu's blockade is successful, the soldier who came up with this idea should take the first credit." Xian Yuyin looked at everyone and said with a smile, "If the power of the Horse Rejection Formation is amazing, we can take it all the way to drive the Hu people out of Helan Mountain." ”

"Bojun, what kind of joke are you talking about?" Yan Rou shook her head, pointed to the horse rejection array and said, "We cut down the trees on the two hills, and we only set up a horse rejection array that is 500 steps long and 300 steps wide. Where do you go to cut down so many trees? How many wagons do you need to transport so many trees? ”

"It's easy to set people on fire." Hua Xiong shrugged a pair of thick eyebrows, and laughed loudly, "I think this horse rejection array is easy to use when blocking, and it must also be able to use local materials, preferably in this kind of mountainous area." If we fight in the plains or deserts, we have neither the conditions nor the need, but we have to rely on the large phalanx and the tacit cooperation of the soldiers. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for using equipment to win the Hu people's iron horses. ”

"Bojun wants to be lazy." Jade teased, "Bojun, are you tired from fighting?" ”

Xian Yuyin smiled: "I just want to drive the Hu people out as soon as possible." Fighting such a battle all day long, I was really panicked. ”

"I think you have won too many battles, and your spirit is too high." Yan Rou said unceremoniously, "Recently, we have been withdrawing, although we have been defeated again and again, but we are all waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. ”

Yan Rou looked at everyone and continued: "It's normal for soldiers to have opinions and emotions, but you can't. The adults have repeatedly said that as long as the Xianbei people are beaten, they will be embarrassed and angry, and they will make mistakes, and we can find a chance to defeat them. ”

"But our casualties are too great." Zhang He said dissatisfiedly, "We can withdraw a little faster." ”

"Yes, Ziyu, why are you fighting the blocking battle in Fanting Mountain alone, but we are idle in the back?" Hua Xiong also complained, "If we take turns, your six thousand brothers won't be gone." ”

"Adults have the ideas of adults, and we can only obey as subordinates." Yan Rou sighed and said bitterly, "Your Excellency's purpose is nothing more than to let you recuperate, so that you can block the follow-up army of the Xianbei people with fewer enemies here, and buy enough time to destroy the enemy on the Qingshian battlefield." ”

"Brother Yi Cong and the adult came out of Lu Longsai together, and your relationship is extraordinary, why don't you persuade the adult?" Gao Ran glanced at the silent jade stone and asked loudly.

Jade Shi smiled indifferently and shook his head, "My lord is the commander of the first army, he thinks about the safety of the Great Han Kingdom, if he asks me to guard Fanting Mountain until I die in battle, I won't ask why?" ”

"We are the people of the Great Han Kingdom, and our brothers are also the people of the Great Han Kingdom, as long as we die for the Great Han Kingdom, no matter how we die, we are all heroes."

===

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar like a storm.

"Our scouts." Yan Rou looked up at the sky and said, "The battle on the bluestone shore should begin. ”

"The Ritsuri deduction is here." Jade smiled, "Brothers, as long as we don't die today, we can't take a step back." ”

"It's war, it's war...... Hua Xiong shouted excitedly, "each back to his own formation, each to his own formation." ”

The crowd cheered and rode away.

Yan Rou suddenly looked back, opened her eyes angrily, raised her arms and shouted:

"Drumming ......"

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

Ritsuri was very surprised when he heard that there was a Han army at the mouth of Boluo Valley.

"How many?"

"There are about 20,000 people." Mang Zhengji replied, "It should be all the infantry of the Han army." ”

"What about leopards? What about the iron horsemen of the Han people? ”

"Didn't find it. The scouts we sent in advance probably killed them, so we don't know what's going on in the valley. ”

Ritsuri deduced and was silent.

"Is there any news of the king?" Tuoba Han asked. He is one of the four heroes of the Tuoba clan, and this time, on the order of Tuoba Feng, he and Xiao Shuai Bu Chuihong led 10,000 horses and the army of the Ri Ri deduction to advance simultaneously.

"The last time we heard from him was in the morning, when he had already passed through Bolo Valley." Mang Zheng Ji looked at the deduction and shook his head, "The king told us that there was no Han army in Boluo Valley, and asked us to follow up quickly, but now ......"

Ritsuri and Tuoba Han glanced at each other, and secretly felt that it was not good.

"Immediately send someone to tell your lord that Bo Luogu has found the Han army." Tuoba Han turned back to the herald and shouted, "I want your lord to come immediately, hurry, hurry!" ”

===

The cavalry army of the Xianbei people stopped on the hillside outside the valley mouth, waiting for orders to attack.

Ritsuri deduction and Tuoba Han rode to the top of the slope and raised their eyes to look into the valley.

"The Han people set up a lot of rejection horses at the mouth of the valley, and it seems to be a blocking formation." Bu Chuihong pointed to the horse rejection array under the slope with the horse whip in his hand and introduced, "The Han people connect the horses with straw ropes to form a small phalanx, and we want to move these horses away, but it is impossible, so we can only force them over." But after we rushed in, the horses lost their speed because they were blocked by the rejection of the horses. ”

"You can only fight hand-to-hand with the Han soldiers who reject the horse." Mang Zhengji said, "After we rushed in, the advantage of the cavalry was gone, and we could only fight bloodily, and the losses would be very large. The Han are too cunning. ”

Ri Ri thought about it for a long time, and said slowly: "The leopard's army has suffered a lot of losses in Fanting Mountain, and now even if all his follow-up men and horses arrive, there are only 60,000 people. Now that he has more than 20,000 people here to stop us, what are the remaining 40,000 people doing? ”

"The leopard must have gone with his cavalry to ambush the king and the twilight." Tuoba Han said, "There is no news from the king so far, there is only one possibility, that is, the leopard has been surrounded." The Han infantry is here to stop us in order to buy time for the leopards. ”

"The leopard only has 40,000 cavalry in his hands, if he wants to ambush the king's 30,000 horses, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, and once his soldiers are killed and wounded, will Chang'an City still be defended?" Ri Ri said suspiciously, "Even if he completely annihilates the king's 30,000 troops, we still have 70,000 troops coming one after another, doesn't he want to fight in the next battle?" The leopard won't be naïve enough to think that if Helian dies, we will withdraw our troops back to the desert, right? ”

Tuoba Han smiled: "Maybe that's what the leopard thinks. He concentrated his main forces and tried to succeed in the first battle. The Han Chinese have always been self-righteous. ”

Ri deduced and touched his beard, looked at the Han army in the valley with banners waving and waiting for battle, and hesitated. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, as if he understood the leopard's intentions.

"No, the leopard is not a Han person, he is a Xianbei person." Ritsuri glanced at Tuoba Han and said solemnly, "If he can't beat us, he will definitely run." If you think about the battles he fought, how many times he suffered losses, he would not be stupid enough to use 40,000 men to fight the 30,000 people of Helian, he must have other tricks. ”

Tuoba Han was stunned for a moment, looking at him in surprise with a confused expression. He hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the Han army below the slope in confusion and asked, "Then what is the matter with these people?" ”

"They are infantry, with only two legs." Ritsuri laughed, "How could they run over the four legs of a war horse?" ”

Tuoba Han laughed when he heard this: "Dashuai, don't be joking. Do we want to attack or not? ”

"Haha......" Ritsuri laughed and said, "If it were you, would you give away the lives of 20,000 soldiers for nothing?" ”

Tuoba Han suddenly came to his senses, "Dashuai, do you mean that the leopard is in the valley?" ”

"Yes." Ritsuri laughed and said, "You're not stupid. It's still possible for 60,000 people to beat us and 30,000, but it's impossible for 40,000 people to fight 30,000 people, you think the leopard is really an idiot. ”

"The leopard first deliberately let go of Helian's army of 30,000, and then set up an infantry formation in Boluo Valley to stop us, with only one purpose, that is, to make us mistakenly think that he was going to ambush the king. If we fall into the trap set by the leopard, thinking that he is now fighting the king in full swing, and thinking that their strength is almost the same, it will be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time, so we rush to support, and the result is that we will attack with all our might, break through the Han army's resistance, rush into the valley, and be completely annihilated by him in total defense. ”

Ritsuri pointed to the top of his head and said, "Look at the sky, it's almost dusk." Tuoba Feng will not march at night for safety, and if he comes, it will be at least until tomorrow morning, and what about the king? It is estimated that I have already run to Linjing City. In this case, it would be strange that we would not be eaten by his 60,000 people. “

"After the leopard ate us, Tuoba Feng had no news of the king, and seeing that our army was completely annihilated, he would not dare to venture further. And what about leopards? On the contrary, he could swagger to Linjing City to attack the king. ”

Tuoba Han nodded admiringly, "The big marshal is reasonable. We don't have any news of the king now, it's not that the king is surrounded, but that the people who sent the news have been intercepted and killed by the leopard. How do we deal with that? ”

"Hmph......" Ritsuri sneered, "The leopard is scheming against me, how can I let him go." ”

"Send someone to inform Tuoba Feng again, and ask him to come to help quickly."

"Immediately send someone around the Boluo Valley, catch up with the king, and tell him that the leopard is in the Boluo Valley." Ri Ri deduced and said to Tuoba Han, "The king hates the leopard to the core, as long as he gets the news, the king will lead his troops to fight back overnight and block the leopard's retreat." ”

"90,000 people surround and annihilate 60,000 people, happy." Tuoba Han said excitedly, "Dashuai, then do we still want to attack Boluo Valley now?" ”

"Of course you have to fight, if the leopard realizes that its plan has failed, it will run away immediately." "We are not familiar with the terrain here, and once he escapes, it will be difficult to catch him." ”。

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

In the valley, the sound of war drums is like thunder, and the earth shakes the mountains; Outside the valley, the horn sounded loudly and loudly, shocking the mountains and wilderness.

Xiao Shuai Xiao Ao led two thousand Xianbei iron horsemen to roar down the hillside.

===

The sky was full of long arrows roaring through the air, thrilling.

"Woohoo...... Ding Ding ...... Knock knock ......"

Long arrows shot into the repulsion array, nailed like rain to all obstacles, and all kinds of sounds were intertwined, and it was chilling.

The Han soldiers hid in the horse rejection array, holding their shields high, and let the Xianbei cavalry shoot wildly.

===

"Ah...... Arrowed, I'm shot......" A Han soldier's shield was suddenly pierced by a sharp long arrow, which pierced his arm and then burrowed into his leather armor.

The soldier howled and fell on his back. More arrows roared.

Lei Zhong leaped up, raised the shield with one hand, grabbed the leather armor of his comrades with the other, and ran quickly behind the shield array.

"Whew...... Two more long arrows ...... one after the other, and a volley of them entered the soldier's body, pinning him firmly to the ground.

Lei Zhong only felt that his hand sank and he couldn't hold it. He yelled and pulled hard, but he still didn't move. Lei Chonghuo Ran turned around and saw that his comrade-in-arms had been hit by several arrows, and he had already died.

Lei Chong's eyes were about to split, and he raised his shield and shouted sadly: "Kill Hu...... Kill Hu, ......"

===

The Xianbei people howled all the way and rushed into the horse rejection formation with great vigour. In order to avoid the resistance of the rejecting horse, they had to slow down, avoid, slow down again, and avoid again, and before they had marched thirty paces, the war horse could hardly find its way in the formation.

The Han soldiers couldn't hold back and rushed out. They used spears and spears to pick and kill cavalry, swords and axes to chop horses' legs, and a few soldiers against a Xianbei man, killing flesh and blood.

There were more and more Xianbei cavalry, and the Han soldiers gradually couldn't resist and retreated to the depths of the horse rejection array. The Xianbei cavalry in front was fighting bravely, but the Xianbei soldiers in the back were starting to move and reject the horses, and they were very busy.

===

A thousand sword and axe men stood in the center of the horse rejection array. In order to avoid the cavalry of the Xianbei people, they gathered outside the range of the Xianbei people's long arrows.

Zhang He raised the shield in his hand, pointed at the war knife in his right hand, and looked back and roared: "Brothers, kill ......."

The little lazy sword and shield struck each other, shouting: "Brothers, take revenge......

"Kill ......"

The Han soldiers let out an earth-shattering roar, and they followed the two superiors along the winding path of the formation, roaring like a tide and quickly killing the Xianbei people.

The sound of killing shook the sky.

The Xianbei people were caught off guard, and they were overwhelmed by the angry crowd in an instant.

===

Within a hundred and ten paces of the horse rejection array, the corpses of Xianbei people and war horses were filled, and bloody severed limbs and stumps could be seen everywhere.

The victorious Han soldiers shouted and ran in the array, and many of them cut off the heads of the Xianbei people with swords and axes and hung them on the top of the horses.

Blood stained the repulsion array.

Ritsuri raised his arms and shouted angrily: "Kill, kill, kill me......"

Bu Chuihong roared, and raised his sword, "Brothers, kill ......"

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

And Lian was panting and leaning against the trunk of the tree, in pain.

The thunderous blow of the leopard shattered his dream of making a contribution. First, the leopard snatched his woman and took away his property, and then the leopard and Murong Feng joined forces inside and outside, and forced himself to give up part of the royal power, and now, the leopard killed his own army of 30,000 bullets and Khan Mountain, completely forcing himself to a dead end.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the contradictions between all parties in the Xianbei Kingdom and join forces to send troops to invade the Great Han Kingdom, so as to rebuild the powerful Danhan Mountain Royal Court and dominate the prairie again, however, in the battle of Qingshi'an, all hopes turned into bloody rain with this fiasco and disappeared without a trace.

The commander of the guards, Xiao Shuai Nan Nanyun knelt on the ground with a pale face, and whispered: "King, let's go quickly, the Han army is about to chase after you." ”

He Lian smiled miserably, looked at the few dozen attendants around, and said weakly: "Go? Where do we go? ”

"King, let's go to Boluo Valley, and the troops of the commander of the Ri Ri will definitely be there."

He Lian shook his head and hung his head silently.

"King, if you don't go to the army of the commander on the day of the law, we will bypass the Boluo Valley and go directly to meet Lord Tuoba Feng."

He Lian looked at Nanbeiyun and smiled bitterly, laughter was worse than crying, he stretched out his hand and patted Nanbeiyun's shoulder, and sighed sadly: "You don't understand, you don't understand......"

Nan Nanyun looked at He Lian very puzzled, and asked strangely: "Great King, Lord Tuoba Feng has been deeply favored and trusted by the Great King in recent years, and he ......"

He Lian shook his hand at him and motioned for him to stop talking.

He Lian slowly raised his head, looked at the big tree that covered the sky, and slowly closed his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, the fierce battle on the battlefield on the bluestone shore immediately rushed into his mind.

Surrounded by the Han army's iron cavalry and infantry regiments, 30,000 soldiers had nowhere to escape. The long arrows of the Han army are raging, the swords of the Han army are flying, the spears of the Han army are howling, and the Xianbei soldiers are like stubble leeks being cut to the ground by countless weapons, and there is no chance to fight back. Hundreds of soldiers and horses fell into the Jingshui River, and the blood-red river was full of corpses of Xianbei people. More soldiers fled into Qingshi Mountain, but the frenzied Han Chinese pursued them until they were hacked to death. The corpses of the Xianbei people were piled up on the bluestone bank, higher than the hills; Blood stained the bluestone shore red, redder than the setting sun.

The miserable cry of the Xianbei people suddenly exploded in Helian's brain, and Helian screamed in fear and opened his eyes in shock.

"What about the reckless? Why hasn't the captives come yet? ...... of the Brave"

"Great King, Great King......" Nan Nanyun hugged the mentally deranged He Lian, and shouted loudly: "Great King, wake up, you wake up, the heroic and handsome man is dead, and he will not come again." ”

Kazuren gasped violently, the muscles on his face twitched, and his eyes looked extremely flustered.

"King, we will go wherever you say, even if it is to rebound the Khan Mountain." Nanbeiyun had tears in his eyes and cried out in pain, "Without a horse, I will carry you back." ”

"Go to Fanting Mountain." He Lian's lips trembled, and he whispered, "Let's go to Fanting Mountain to find Xu Gui." ”
