Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 9 Chasing the Central Plains Section 69

Chapter 9 Chasing the Central Plains Section 69 The non-commissioned officers of the coalition army were powerless to fight back, and they died tragically under the trampling of iron hooves, and their severed limbs and stumps flew all over the sky with patches of blood.

As the Iron Cavalry continued to advance, the encirclement on the battlefield became smaller and smaller, and the coalition soldiers were gradually squeezed into a narrow area less than 500 paces long and wide.

The smaller the battlefield, the higher the density of soldiers, the slower the attack speed of the iron cavalry, and the iron cavalry that lost its speed in order to eliminate the densely packed enemies, in the end, had to abandon the strengths and weaknesses, dismount like foot soldiers, layer by layer, like a cocoon, devouring the opponent's life one by one.

This will not only bring heavy casualties to oneself, but will also greatly prolong the time for destroying the enemy. Li Hong didn't want to waste the lives of his soldiers, let alone delay here for too long, he had to rush to the Pingyangting battlefield before dark to completely annihilate the rebels' vanguards.

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, and order the Loulu in the north direction to immediately get out of the gallop road, get out of the gallop road......" Li Hong raised his bloody spear, turned around and shouted at the horn soldiers who were following him,

"Drive the enemy soldiers to Pingyang Pavilion, cover and kill along the way, cover up and kill along the way......"

"Uh......h Woo...... "Nearly 100 horns sounded one after another, and the low and rapid sound pierced the huge killing sound on the battlefield and went straight to the sky.

The Huns, who were close to the left side of the Hu cavalry camp, heard the signal and immediately blew the horn to amplify the signal again.

The sound of the trumpet came and went, and in a short period of time, it quickly reached the ears of the people of Hakuzan Karasuma.

Lou Lu did not hesitate at all. More than ten years ago, he followed the general to conquer the world, and he was convinced that every order of the general was faithfully carried out, and he never made any discounts.

"Blow the trumpet, order the departments, get out of the way, get out of the way." The people of Hakuyama Karasuma were killing heartily, and suddenly heard Da Shan Yu asking him to withdraw, and immediately scolded.

Before the attack, the general had an order, and after the battle, he received a reward according to the head of the man, and the reward was rich. Now there is a helpless enemy in front of him, and it is the best opportunity to grab the head.

If you retreat in a hurry, the already small number of heads will be snatched by others in an instant. Everyone traveled thousands of miles south to the Central Plains to make a fortune, but they returned empty-handed and ran for nothing.

Lou Lu saw that his subordinates were indifferent, pretending not to hear it one by one, and still shouting and killing happily, so angry that his face turned white.

"Tell them to retreat to both sides of the road immediately, or I'll cut off their heads." The horn sounded more and more urgently.

Li Hong urged repeatedly, and Lou Lu's threat became more and more powerful. If you don't take it down again, I'll go back and kill all of you."

Compared with the reward after the war, of course, one's own head and the life of his clan are more important. The commander who rushed to the front, Du Lianmu, took the lead in directing the cavalry to move to the northeast of the battlefield.

The small marshals of the Karasuma tribe followed closely and rushed down the gallop with their troops. The coalition soldiers who were surrounded in the middle knew that they would die, and after the initial fear, after the attack speed of the Iron Cavalry army slowed down, they began to shoot indiscriminately with bows and arrows one after another under the command of the Shangguan.

Although this can't change their fate, death is coming, and the ** of survival forces them to pin their last hope of survival on the long arrow in their hands.

Even if you die, pull one to make a cushion back. That's when they discovered a miracle. A crack suddenly appeared in the originally tight encirclement, which was like grasping a life-saving straw in the raging flood for the coalition soldiers in despair.

The coalition soldiers went crazy, roaring like wild beasts, and plunged headlong into the crevice, regardless of any danger.

After the violent impact, this gap grew larger and larger, and gradually formed a small torrent that shot out.

The sound of the trumpets suddenly intensified, and the entire battlefield noticed this sudden change. The coalition forces tore open the gap and broke through.

Li Hong ordered continuously. The people of Hakusan Karasuma pursued along the right side of the road, making sure to prevent the enemy from escaping to the Pushui River to the east.

Yan Wudaunt led his army to pursue along the left side of the gallop road, making sure to prevent the enemy from escaping to the Yellow River to the west. The rest of the tribes continued to besiege and kill.

With an opening for catharsis, the coalition forces that had been squeezed thick suddenly loosened, and everyone rushed to the north.

The iron cavalry, whose attack speed was slowing down, only felt that the stronger and stronger resistance on the opposite side suddenly disappeared, the strength of the army rose sharply, the soldiers shouted wildly, the war horses neighed, and the power reappeared for a while, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Yuan Shao looked at the gap in front of him, looked at the soldiers who fled by the way, and sighed in despair. It was not the road to survival, but the road to death, a desperate way to die with 60,000 people in the forward army.

"My lord, let's go, let's go......" Meng Dai rushed to Yuan Shao's side and shouted loudly,

"Let's escort the adults and rush out, hurry up......"

"That's the north, it's the north, do you see clearly?" Yuan Shao exclaimed excitedly,

"Li Hong's intention is obvious, he wants to drive us to Pingyang Pavilion and use us to tear apart the battle formation of the forward army, and the forward army will be wiped out as a result." Meng Dai was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't know the direction in the chaos, but then he grabbed Yuan Shao's arm and pulled him forward with all his might.

"My lord, the soldiers have rushed out, and we can't stop it if we want to. Your Excellency, you might as well take this opportunity to rush out. Either rendezvous with the vanguard army, or look for an opportunity to break through on the way. Yuan Shao sighed and didn't say anything more, protected by Meng Dai and two hundred guards, and rushed out of the encirclement with the torrent of escape.

Zhao Yun led the army to roar into the middle of the battle, and the blockers were invincible. Tao Yi commanded a team of men and horses to desperately block the attack. Time is precious at this moment, and if you can block it for a moment, more soldiers can escape from the battlefield.

Although it is inevitable that the soldiers who escape will die under the iron hoof, there is always a better chance of survival than being trapped in this desperate place.

Zhao Yun was as fast as lightning, and with one shot he picked up the spear in Tao Yi's hand, followed by the ape arm and lifted him high.

"Where is Yuan Shao?" Tao Yi roared angrily, stretched out his hand and pulled out the war knife behind his back, and slashed at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun didn't wait for his sword to fall, and threw it into the air with one hand.

spears like rainbows,

A "flutter" sound pierced Tao Yi's body. Zhao Yun roared again,

"Where is Yuan Shao?" Tao Yi opened his mouth and squirted out a mouthful of blood, and he was immediately speechless. Zhao Yun was furious, picked it up with a shot, raised his head and shouted,

"Find Yuan Shao, find Yuan Shao for me." After the defeat of the Jiangdong army, Lu Su and Sun Fu led nearly 1,000 people to stick to the chariot formation.

This chariot array was placed on the east side of the battlefield and was originally used to block the charging of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, but because the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry was surrounded from all sides, this chariot formation did not play a blocking role.

However, now it has become a strong fortress for Lu Su and others to resist the siege of the iron cavalry in northern Xinjiang.

When Li Hong led his army to rush near this chariot array, he was worried that there were rebel archers in the chariot array, so he ordered Sima Yi to bring two hundred cavalry to solve it.

As soon as Sima Yi approached the car formation, he was dazed by the dense long arrows shot from the car formation, and accidentally fell behind the horse's buttocks.

Sima Yi fell so hard that his eyes were full of stars, he ate a mouthful of dirt, he was embarrassed, and his face turned purple with anger.

"Burned it, lit it and burned it." It's not easy to set fire to the car array. Sima Yi thought of more than a dozen ways in a row, and several soldiers died, but they couldn't set the baggage cart on fire.

Sima Yi was so angry that he ordered the soldiers to take off the heavy armor on their bodies and wrap them on their horses, and they also wrapped their bodies in heavy armor, and then rushed out with a few torches.

The rebels' long arrows were like rain, but they couldn't shoot this person or horse, and they watched Sima Yi gallop all the way in front of the car formation, setting dozens of baggage carts on fire.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it burst into flames, and hundreds of baggage trucks immediately fell into the flames. The soldiers in the car formation couldn't bear it anymore and fled in all directions.

The riders outside the formation were unrelenting, and chased them wildly, killing them all. Sun Fu and Lu Su were struggling to support themselves in the car formation at the moment, suffering from smoke and fire.

Sun Fu was in pain, and his heart was sideways,

"I can't do it anymore, I'm going to surrender." Lu Su shook his head again and again,

"To go out is to die, hold on for a while and see if the enemy will leave."

"If we keep going, we're going to die." Sun Fu exclaimed in fear,

"My uncle used to have a deep friendship with Li Hong and many Hebei officials, presumably they won't kill me after they know my identity." Lu Su thought for a moment and nodded,

"Let's surrender first, and then find an opportunity to escape back to Koto." He took two shields from the ground, pulled over a corpse, dipped his hand in the blood on the corpse, and wrote four large letters on each of the shields.

"Sun Jian's son". Two men with their shields held high, one with a spear and one with a sword, rushed out of the flames.

A few black panther Yi saw that there were still people escaping from the sea of fire, and they were very surprised, and they rushed forward with their horses.

Sun Fu screamed,

"I'm the son of the Broken General, I'm the son of the Broken General......" Several Black Panther Righteous Servants were all Hu people, and they couldn't understand what his name was, so they raised their weapons and roared to kill.

"Fight, fight with them." Lu Su saw that the people who rushed up were all Hu people, his eyes were dark, and he knew that it was over,

"Back to back, kill ......" Sun Fu and Lu Su's martial arts skills are very good, these black panthers killed a few back and forth from the horse, not only did not cut off the heads of the two, but let the two run farther.

Sima Yi led people to kill and surrounded Lu Su and Sun Fu. At this time, Sima Yi saw the words on the shield, and he hurriedly raised his hand,

"Slow, slow, don't do it yet."

"You're the son of the Broken General?" But Ma Yi asked. Hearing the correct Luoyang dialect, Lu Su and Sun Fu felt as if they had heard the sound of heaven.

There is finally hope for this life. Sun Fu poked out half of his head from behind the shield and shouted: "My name is Sun Fu, and I am the nephew of General Po and the brother of Sun Ben, the former assassin of Yuzhou. "On the gallop, thousands of allied soldiers rushed for their lives.

On the field a hundred paces away on both sides of the gallop, the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry was neither in a hurry nor slow, and maintained almost the same direction and speed as them.

From a distance, they looked less like hostile sides than the same army on the battlefield together.

Ji Ling was caught among the fugitives and ran all the way, sweating and panting. After running for a while, he can't.

He was old, and although he had been in the army, he had neglected to train and had never run like this. Now he regretted listening to He Yi's words, he shouldn't have abandoned his horse and walked.

He Yi said that riding on a horse has a big target, and it will soon become a live target. He looked back at He Yi, who had lost his helmet, armor, bow and arrows, and held a spear in his hand.

While running, he looked around, looking very calm, obviously looking for an opportunity to escape. The people from the Yellow Turban Army are different, and they have a lot of experience in escaping, so they can't be admired if they don't admire it.

He turned his head to look around and found that there were He Yi's people in front and behind, these people were all Yellow Turban Army in the past, but none of his old subordinates could see them.

Ji Ling really couldn't run, but he couldn't stop either. As soon as he stopped, he was probably going to be pushed down and trampled to death by the people behind him.

He Yi hurriedly took a few steps, rushed to Ji Ling's side, pulled off his battle helmet, and then threw it to the ground.

"My lord, this is an escape, not a war, what are you doing with this thing? Hurry up, take off all your armor, and lose your bow and arrows and sword. You're carrying so many things on your back, and sooner or later you'll die of exhaustion. Ji Ling couldn't even speak, he threw away all the burdens on his body in three or two clicks, and suddenly felt relaxed and his steps became brisk.

"My lord, something is wrong." He Yi pointed to the iron horsemen galloping on both sides of the gallop road, and said loudly,

"They should talk about rushing up and killing us, why are they ...... now"

"They want to force us to Pingyang Pavilion." Ji Ling swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said breathlessly.

"Why? When we arrived at Pingyang Pavilion and joined Lord Kuaiyue, weren't they more difficult to fight? He Yi asked strangely,

"Do they want us to tell the news of the annihilation of the vanguard army, so as to shake the morale of the vanguard army?" The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

Thousands of deserters ran to Pingyang Pavilion, and the 60,000 soldiers of the forward army knew that they were surrounded without thinking about it, and there were no reinforcements, so they were completely exhausted.

High, this trick is high. Li Hong is too powerful, and it is difficult to be an enemy of him without dying. He Yi looked at the iron horse galloping in the distance in horror, and suddenly yelled at Ji Ling,

"Let's surrender." Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, and his steps couldn't help but slow down. Surrender? Of course I was willing to surrender.

Now that Yuan Shu is dead, he has no place in Jiujiang, and his family is in Hebei, why am I unwilling to surrender?

It's just that the Northern Xinjiang Army attacked the Central Plains this time, killing and surrendering, and slaughtering the city, I'm afraid that people who want to surrender won't agree.

He Yi saw that Ji Ling didn't speak for a long time, so he immediately made a gesture to a few cronies behind him, and then roared again,

"Your Excellency, if you don't surrender, we're going to surrender. Now it's death to run anywhere, it's better to stop and surrender. There are many generals from the Yellow Turban in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and we will definitely survive if we surrender. ”

"This time the Northern Frontier Army attacked the Central Plains, when did you hear that they had surrendered prisoners?" Ji Ling smiled helplessly,

"If you're going to surrender, then surrender, you're going to die this time anyway." He Yi was overjoyed, and shouted at the fugitives around him,

"Everyone shouted together, shouted together, saying that we are willing to surrender, willing to surrender." A group of He Yi's guards couldn't wait to scream, and then more fugitives followed behind and roared, and the pace of everyone's escape gradually slowed down.

The sound of the trumpet became more and more urgent, from far to near. Zhao Yun came with a team of iron horsemen galloping along the gallop road,

"Catch Yuan Shao, catch him......" Yuan Shao was shocked, pointing to the Karasuma Iron Rider who was galloping rapidly on the field on the right side of the gallop, and shouted,

"Rush over and we'll rush from there." Meng Dai looked back at the pursuers who were getting closer and closer, desperate,

"My lord, I'll take someone back to block the pursuers, and you lead someone to rush over." Saying that, he quickly untied the heavy armor on his body and handed it to Yuan Shao,

"My lord, protect your whole body with heavy armor, so that you can fight your way out of the encirclement." The guards surrounding Yuan Shao invariably took off their heavy armor.

They ignored Yuan Shao's roar and hurriedly tied all the heavy armor to Yuan Shao's body.

"Take care, sir." Meng Dai and fifty guards bowed to Yuan Shao, then turned their horses' heads and killed the pursuers without hesitation.

Yuan Shao looked at the vigorous backs of Meng Dai and the fifty fierce soldiers, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.

"Let's go, let's go, kill out......" Yuan Shao kicked on the horse's belly and roared towards the Karasuma Iron Horse.

One hundred and fifty guards followed, raising their weapons and slaughtering wildly. Zhao Yun didn't give Meng Dai any chance, and a single shot pierced his throat.

Fifty thugs were thrown into the torrent like a handful of gravel, and disappeared without even a small splash.

"Chase, catch up, catch Yuan Shao." Zhao Yun hoarsely screamed, kept roaring, and the spear in his hand was pumped the horse's buttocks without heartache.

The war horse neighed in pain, and its huge body rose into the air, shooting straight away like a cloud.

The farther the fugitives are from the battlefield, the longer and thinner the Karasuma formation. The reason why Yuan Shao chose to break through from a place far away from the battlefield was precisely because he saw the weakness of Karasuma Iron Cavalry in defense.

But Yuan Shao was also a little negligent, the Hu people's riding and shooting were too powerful. These pawns were all masters of mounted archery, and their speed of archery was so amazing that in a matter of seconds, they could shoot all the arrows in a pot.

After being shot like a head-splitting face, Yuan Shao's personal guards suffered heavy losses, and less than half of them were left.

And at this time, more Karasuma people surrounded him. The two sides fought each other in a short battle and fought to the death. Yuan Shao weighed several arrows and was hit hard by spears and knives, but because of the heavy armor that wrapped his whole body, he was miraculously safe and sound.

Yuan Shao and his guards rushed out of the Karasuma people's interception. Zhao Yun Pegasus killed. Jump to
