Fu Xie stood on the tower and saw the kingdom's army moving.

Yang Hui pointed to the rebels' formation and said, "My lord, you see, that's the battle flag of Wudu, they are moving east, it is estimated that he will go to support June Thunder." ”

Fu Xie nodded slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Li Zhonglang's iron horse still hasn't appeared?" ”

"Nope." Yang Hui replied, "Zhao Yi and Zhao Junhou of the East Gate sent someone to report, but so far I have not seen Li Zhonglang's Fengyun Iron Cavalry appear on the battlefield of the East Gate. Now, Li Zhonglang's infantry phalanx is fighting a bloody battle with Qianghu's cavalry. When the Qiang people began to attack, they were subjected to heavy fire from Li Zhonglang's bow and crossbow battalion, suffering heavy casualties, and the Qiang Hu was ferocious, attacking like a madman around the infantry phalanx, and the battle was extremely fierce. We only heard that Li Zhonglang's cavalry was powerful, but we didn't expect his foot soldiers to be so strong. ”

"Li Zhonglang's foot soldiers are all soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. When I accompanied General Huangfu to suppress the Yellow Turbans, although the Yellow Turban Ant Thieves did not have any sophisticated weapons, they were very strong in combat. When fighting Guangzong, more than 50,000 Yellow Turban ant thieves swore to die and threw themselves into the river to die. Fu Xie said with a whisker.

"Why didn't Li Zhonglang's cavalry move?" Yang Hui said strangely, "Although his foot soldiers formed a defensive formation and fought tenaciously, the losses were very large. ”

"I estimate that Li Zhonglang wants to use the infantry phalanx to drag down the Qiang soldiers and consume their troops, and wait until the Qianghu is scarred before the cavalry attack, give the Qianghu the final blow, and strive to completely annihilate the Qianghu. After defeating these 30,000 Qianghu, our border county in Xiliang can get at least three to five years of peace. At the same time, the rebels were in a very difficult situation without the support of the Saiwai Qianghu. ”

He looked at Yang Hui, patted his slightly hunched back, and said with a smile: "If I die, you will follow him." You're so talented, you can't just bury it like this for the rest of your life. You should find a place to fulfill your ambitions, and not in vain in your skills. ”

"My lord laughed." Yang Hui said solemnly, "In the battle of Yicheng, because of Nie Xiao's defection, the victory and defeat have been reversed. Even if Li Zhonglang won or lost badly, the rebels would be dealt a heavy blow, and the only way was to withdraw their troops. In this case, Yicheng is already safe, how can the adults die? ”

Fu Xie said solemnly: "I may have to die on the battlefield." I will lead my troops to attack and delay the support of Wudu, so that Li Zhonglang will have more time to surround and annihilate the Qiang. ”

Yang Hui looked at Fu Xie in surprise and said loudly, "My lord, we don't have this need at all. ”

Fu Xie nodded firmly and said, "If Wudu and June Thunder meet, it will be difficult for Li Zhonglang to encircle and annihilate the Qiang people, and all the Qiang people will be annihilated." So, I decided to strike. ”

"Your Excellency, you ...... Why are you doing this? There are only a thousand of us, and if we kill them, we will surely die. ”

"In order to kill the Hu people, in order to be able to annihilate more rebels, and for the peace of Xiliang, I should do this. Did you let me stand on the city tower and watch Qiang Hu Yaowu raise his might and run back to Daxue Mountain with a swagger? ”

"My lord, we are just guessing how Li Zhonglang will fight, and we don't know what his true intentions are? Why do adults have to make such a senseless sacrifice? ”

"How is this a senseless sacrifice? This is to kill Qianghu, to protect the family and defend the country, and to protect the peace of the border of the Han Kingdom. ”

Yang Hui was speechless and looked at him dumbfounded.

"You and I have been friends for many years, and we are like brothers. If I die in battle, I will entrust Fu Gan and his mother to you. Fu Xie patted him on the shoulder hard, and said with a heavy heart: "In this battle, we must fight and never die." ”

"Herald. All the soldiers of the city immediately rushed to the south gate and assembled. ”

"Order the people of the city to immediately remove the dirt bags under the city gates, and open the city gates."

"Drumming...... Assemble ......"

June Thunder ordered all units to concentrate their forces and slammed the two phalanxes of Yushi and Yan Liang in the middle of the Han army. As long as these two phalanxes are broken, and then the army splits the left and right attacks, it will definitely be able to break the enemy's phalanx defense and crush the Han army.

The sound of trumpets resounded throughout the battlefield.

The Qianghu with the Northwest Rain and the Snow Mountain Fox as the main force attacked the phalanx of Jade, and the Qianghu with the wind and sand and the sky wolf as the main force attacked Yan Liang's phalanx. The battle suddenly became fierce.

The triple giant shield and the giant spear were arranged, and after hundreds of rounds of collision, they were badly damaged, and there were very few left. Although the crossbow battalion soldiers in the Han army's phalanx fired frantically and killed and wounded a large number of enemies, the enemy's cavalry was fearless and attacked as before.

The horns sounded one after another, and Qianghu began a new round of charge. The Qiang people concentrated hundreds of war horses, concentrated on a few attack points, and collided continuously. "Boom...... The sound of "boom ......" is endless, and the huge sound is terrifying.

The jade phalanx was the first to break through, and more than a dozen giant shields were all shattered, and the Qiang people swarmed in. Jade, Wen Chou, Zhang He led spearmen, sword and axe hands, under the cover of crossbowmen, bravely met them.

Zhang He jumped up, raised his hand and shot a cavalryman, and then he was knocked to the ground by the galloping war horse. The two Qiang people who rushed after him drove their horses and trampled on them, their spears flew and stabbed, and Zhang He rolled left and right on the ground, embarrassed. Several crossbowmen rushed up and fired at the Qiang soldiers in succession. The two Qiang soldiers were killed and wounded, and the two horses fell to the ground after rushing a few steps. Zhang He used his hands and feet together, got up with a disgraced face, gritted his teeth and flew up, and put his foot on the Qiang soldier who had just raised his body and was about to swing his knife to meet him, and pulled out the knife to chop off the enemy's head.

Yan Liang in the phalanx held a war knife in his hand, facing the enemy who was charging into the formation, he kept shouting, and his voice was hoarse. He was already tired of killing, and the fierce Qiang people were not afraid of life and death, and repeatedly collided, causing heavy losses to his subordinates. On the frontal defensive positions of the phalanx, there was no trace of the giant shield, and the fragments and the remains of the dead soldiers and horses on both sides covered the narrow battle area, and as far as the eye could see, all of them were bloody corpses and knives, spears and arrows stuck in the corpses. The rich smell of blood stimulated Yan Liang's blood veins.

"My lord, the enemy has rushed in......," the soldiers exclaimed.

Yan Liang stood with his head held high, murderous, he glanced at the Qiang soldiers who came with teeth and claws on his horse with disdain, and roared wildly with his knife: "Brothers, kill people......"

Yan Liang held a shield in one hand and a war knife in the other, and rushed towards the enemy. A group of sword and axe men looked angry, and they followed behind Yan Liang, each raising their weapons, screaming hoarsely, and their morale was like a rainbow. A batch of long arrows flew over Yan Liang's head and roared at the attacking enemy.

Horse solstice. Spears struck. Yan Liang roared, suddenly bounced up, raised his knife and slashed at the enemy's horse's head. The war horse let out a painful hiss, and its huge body flew out more than a dozen steps away with inertia. Immediately the knight was thrown into the air, and before he could land, he was already split into several pieces by the sword and iron axe.

Yan Liang is running, shouting, and killing, he is like an angry tiger, invincible and invincible.

The jade halberd slashed through the throats of the Qiang soldiers, breaking the enemy's throat and shooting blood out like a fountain. Jade kicked the corpse away, and was about to enter again, but saw more Qiang soldiers waving their weapons and speeding from a distance.

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, call for help, ask for help." Jade's face changed drastically, and he raised his arms and shouted.

"Bow battalion, salvo, salvo ......"

"Go back, we'll go back." In the distance, Wen Chou shouted loudly as he fought hard.

Flying drumsticks rained down on the drums of war, and the sound was swift and wild.

Xian Yufu heard the signal of Yushi asking for support, and without hesitation, he pointed at the iron Yue and said loudly: "Bring five hundred people and go to support quickly." ”

Tie Yue was in a hurry, scolding non-stop, when he suddenly heard Xian Yufu's order to call him to fight, he was so happy that his heart was full of joy, he cheered, and ran away without looking back.

Lei Zi, Wei Zheng and the others watched with envy as his back disappeared into the boiling battlefield.

"Order Xu Rong and Ko Yi to lead the phalanx on the left and right flanks and immediately move forward."

"Beat the drum and tell the officers and men of the whole army to fight to the death and never retreat."

Hundreds of war drums beat at the same time, and the fierce and passionate drums were like hundreds of spring thunders exploding on the bloody battlefield at the same time, and in an instant, the earth shook the mountains.

Hua Xiong's sturdy body was slightly tired, and he took three steps and two steps, and hurried up to the city tower.

"My lord, are we going to take the initiative?"

Fu Xie nodded, pointed to the rebels who were moving in the distance, and said, "That's Wudu's army, they are going to support June Thunder, and we will fight him." ”

Hua Xionghu looked at Fu Xie suspiciously and asked, "Is it useful for us to have such a few people?" ”

"Li Zhonglang's cavalry has not appeared so far, and I estimate that he will suddenly attack when the Qiang losses are the most serious, and surround the Qiang people in the Dongmen battlefield and annihilate them completely." Fu Xie looked at Hua Xiong and said with a smile, "Wudu's army has more than 10,000 people, if they rush to the Dongmen battlefield, they can not only help the Qiang people quickly get out of the battlefield, but also block Li Zhonglang's army and destroy Li Zhonglang's encirclement and annihilation strategy." Our attack was to delay the army of Wudu to the battlefield of the East Gate. ”

Hua Xiong nodded and said with a smile: "It's still an adult who is thoughtful." He turned his head to look to the east, listened carefully to the shouts of killing from the battlefield, shook his head, and said, "Strange, why hasn't Li Zhonglang's cavalry appeared yet?" ”

Fu Xie said: "It is normal for there to be mistakes in coordination on the battlefield, especially in a big battle with more than 100,000 people. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "Li Zhonglang's courage and courage to dare to fight such a big battle already shows his courage and courage. In this battle, he was neither fully prepared nor completely sure, and he was fighting with his eyes completely closed, and I even suspect that he had no specific methods of fighting at all. He has been near the Weishui River, and he has not had much contact with the generals of the main army, and it is difficult to say whether Xian Yufu and Xu Rong can accurately understand his combat intentions. He is so young, he commands so many armies to fight alone, and it is a big war that adapts to the situation, what can we ask of him? I suspect that even if Huangfu Song is here, he will not dare to fight this battle, and only this leopard like an idiot will dare to fight. ”

Hua Xiong said: "He dares to fight this kind of battle, and he can't help but be convinced." I took it. No wonder he is a lieutenant general at a young age, and I am still a soldier Cao Pengshi. ”

Fu Xie smiled and said: "Ziwei is also my Xiliang fierce general, so there is no need to be arrogant." ”

Hua Xiong shook his head, pointed to the battlefield in the west, and said, "I can't. In Xiliang, if you talk about fighting, except for General Huangfu Song, it is Han Sui. Han Sui commanded the Xiliang rebels to fight in four directions, with brilliant results, although they lost to the leopard one after another, but there were internal reasons, not Han Sui's own command mistakes. You see that he was caught off guard by Nie Xiao this time, tens of thousands of Huangzhong Qiang cavalry attacked him, but he still resisted him. ”

Fu Xie smiled and said: "That's not because Han Sui commanded properly, but because Beigong Boyu's subordinates and Han Sui's subordinates are from the same place, they have been fighting together for many years, from the commanders of various departments to the soldiers, some are fellow villagers, some are horse bandits and robbers, they are more or less friendly, how can they sacrifice their lives to fight?" Like Nie Xiao, it is normal for the clan commander of the camel to turn against Han Sui because of the relationship between Beigong Boyu and Han Sui, but their subordinates may not think so. You've been in Jincheng for many years, and you didn't think of that? ”

Hua Xiong smiled bitterly and said: "Huangzhong Qiang, Huhan people, Jincheng people, in fact, everyone is a family, they kill each other, and they can be regarded as brothers." Han Sui really shouldn't have killed Beigong Boyu. In the future, he will regret it. ”

Fu Xie sighed: "Wen Yue has gone astray. ”

Suddenly, a fierce war drum sounded in the city. The army was assembled.

=

Wang Guo angrily pointed at Wudu's army and asked loudly, "Yi'an, why hasn't your army been assembled yet, and how long do you want to survive?" ”

Wudu was bent on retreating, and he didn't want to be trapped in this battlefield where both sides were defeated, so he had emotions. He glanced at the kingdom and said with a sad face: "These people have been spoiled by leopards in Zixiu Mountain. They have military salaries in Zixiu Mountain, good food and good food, and they can also go to the military market to find camp prostitutes, and their lives are very comfortable. What now? Now don't say that there is no military pay, even the armor on their bodies has been stripped off and distributed to the soldiers of other armies, do you think they have big opinions? Slow down, don't anger them, if we turn against them again, we'll be finished. ”

Wang Guo's face turned red with anger, but what Wu Du said was the truth, and he was powerless to refute it, so he was speechless.

Wudu's army was basically Han recruited by the Xiliang rebels in Hanyang, Anding, and Beidi, and after they were captured, they were recruited by Li Hong as Han soldiers in Zixiu Mountain, and were commanded and trained by Xu Rong and Liyi. After Geng Contempt took charge of the power of Xiliang, he forcibly deprived the two of them of their command rights, and assigned them to the Xiliang Thorn History Mansion, where they were under his own command. It was under this circumstance that Wudu began to command a part of the army. He spent a short time with the soldiers of these armies, and they were not familiar with each other.

Wu Du comforted: "Dashuai, the thunder in June is better than the ghosts, when has he ever suffered a loss?" Rest assured, he'll be fine. You might as well consider our retreat as soon as possible. ”

Huang Yan said very unhappily: "Yi'an, don't you want to leave and have no intention of fighting. The key now is to bring back the army of June Thunder as soon as possible, and everyone together to increase their strength, otherwise, our retreat will be in danger. You go and kill a few soldiers who delayed the military plane as punishment. I don't understand, you are the head of the army, why do you have no prestige at all, and no one listens? ”

Wu Du was a little unhappy. Then the kingdom scolded him twice. Wu Du ran back angrily and killed a few slow Shi Chang and team leaders. Several military candidates, including Jiang Wu, rushed to Wudu's horse and asked loudly. Wu Du said hatefully: "If you don't assemble quickly, I'll take you to the knife." ”

The soldiers dared not speak in anger, and turned away in hatred.

June Thunder saw the Han army's formation suddenly change, and the huge phalanx on both wings began to move forward under the cover of long arrows in the sky.

June Thunder thought it was incredible. Under such fierce confrontation, the two wings of the Han army actually gave up the solid defense on the front and advanced in a different formation, isn't this self-defeating? Once moved, the giant shields and giant spears that the Han army relied on to withstand the onslaught of the cavalry were useless, and they could only rely on the shooting of bows and arrows and dense formations to resist the onslaught of the cavalry army. Although it can be pushed forward, it comes at the cost of heavy casualties among the soldiers.

Reva galloped in.

"Great Marshal, the northwest rain, the wind and the sand have sent people to ask us to increase the number of troops in the frontal attack, and they are about to break through the enemy's phalanx."

June Thunder didn't answer, he stared at the battlefield for a long time, contemplating.

"Marshal, the two wings of the Han army are moving, this is the best opportunity to attack them, should we withdraw the army attacking the middle lane and attack the two wings of the Han army instead?"

June Thunder suddenly woke up.

He thought of the leopard's iron horse. From noon to the present, the cavalry of the leopard has not appeared on the battlefield. At the beginning of the battle, he also left an army to prepare to deal with the leopard's cavalry to attack from both flanks, but the leopard never appeared. As he immersed himself in the battlefield, he went crazy and went crazy, and he forgot that there was still a leopard that did not appear.

The leopard must have been nearby, and he had to wait until he was tired and wounded, and he was dying, and then rushed out and hit him deadly. The Han army's infantry deliberately showed weakness, in order to entangle their cavalry, in order to continue the fierce battle and lose their own strength.

June thundered nervously and looked around, and shouted loudly: "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, order all the departments, retreat immediately, retreat ......"

Leva looked at the June Thunder with a shocked face in shock, dazed.

"Immediately send someone to urge Old Man Wang, and quickly send someone to support."

"Great marshal......" Lei Wa shouted, "Great marshal, we are fighting fiercely, and we can defeat the Han army with a little more effort, how can you ......?"

"Where are the cavalry of the leopards? We got mixed up and forgot that there was another leopard. ”

"What does it matter?" "The cavalry of the leopard is coming, and we will call him to death as well." ”

June shook his head, pointed to the battlefield and said, "If the leopard leads the cavalry to kill from the southeast, we will be surrounded. You see, we are surrounded by the Han army's infantry to the east, Yicheng to the west, Weishui River to the north, and leopard cavalry to the south. ”

"Withdraw, immediately order them to withdraw......"

=

Xian Yufu looked at the battlefield with a murderous sound, and slowly turned his eyes to the enemy Daxu in the distance, and below that, it was the world-famous June thunder.

The long horn sounded suddenly, and its desolate and majestic voice pierced through the noisy battlefield and reverberated in mid-air.

Xian Yu auxiliary complexion changed greatly.

"Your Excellen......cy," Reiko cried out, "the enemy is withdrawing." ”

Xian Yufu slowly turned his head to look at the southeast, a trace of worry and anxiety flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, the enemy is withdrawing...... Wei Zheng patted his horse forward, and said eagerly, "We must rush forward immediately." ”

Xian Yufu looked at the boiling battlefield, waved his hand and said resolutely: "You and Lei Zi will take a thousand people to support Yushi and Yan Liang, and tell them to advance immediately, and they must entangle the enemy." ”

"Order the left and right flanks to speed up the speed."

=

Fu Gan knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

Fu Xie squatted in front of him, patted him on the shoulder lovingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't cry, I'm not dead yet." Besides, I don't have to die. Your father has high martial arts skills, and he is not easy to die. ”

"Daddy......" Fu Gan couldn't cry, looked at Fu Xie pitifully, choked up and shouted, "Daddy......"

Fu Xie touched his head and said, "Look at those uncles and uncles, they obviously know that they have little chance after following me out of the city, but they still die generously without hesitation, do you know why?" ”

Fu Gan hung his head and wept.

Fu Xie pointed to the blue sky above his head and said, "This is the territory of my Han Dynasty, and anyone who tramples on and humiliates this land is our enemy. When facing the enemy of life and death, as the people of a great man, we should stand up, raise our swords to kill the enemy, and serve the country with our bodies. ”

Fu Xie stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears hanging on Fu Gan's face, and said solemnly: "You have to remember that you are a citizen of the Han Dynasty, you must hold your head to the sky, stand on the ground with your feet, and be an upright person, don't insult the majesty of my Han." ”

Fu Gan nodded again and again, tears streaming down his face.

"Stand up." Fu Xie grabbed Fu Gan's shoulders with both hands and pulled him up from the ground.

"Wipe away your tears." Fu Xie said gently.

Fu Gan tried his best to restrain the tears of sadness and sobbed fiercely.

"Wipe away your tears." Fu Xie raised his voice slightly and said sternly.

Fu Gan was taken aback and looked at Fu Xie timidly.

"I just die, and I die for the Han, I die heroically, I can afford to die, what is there to be sad about?" Fu Xie Zhengse said, "Dying for the country's loyalty is not a happy thing in life." ”

Fu Gan didn't understand his father's words, but he knew that his father was going to die on the battlefield, and he was worried about losing his father, so he wanted his father to live. He burst into tears.

Fu Xie's heart was sour, and tears suddenly soaked his eyes.

He shook Fu Gan's shoulders vigorously and said loudly: "I promise you, I will come back alive, and I will definitely take you home." ”
