Chapter 6: The Storm Rises Again Section XVII
Pointing to the battlefield where the fierce battle was raging, Ri Ri said to Tuoba Han: "The Han army is strong, if we continue to fight like this, we will not be able to fight until tomorrow morning, we must think of another way to break through." ”
"The Han army blocked the valley mouth with four dense phalanxes, and when defending, they supported each other, and it was really difficult to fight." Tuoba Han nodded and calmly analyzed, "If we fight endlessly like this, we have suffered too many casualties. In my opinion, we concentrate our main forces to open a breakthrough, and then quickly go deeper, first knocking out a phalanx. ”
"yes, let's get rid of one first." Ri Deduced and waved his hand and said, "Defeat one, and the defensive position of the Han army will be broken through by us." Then we stormed one of its wings and broke through into the valley. ”
"After entering the valley, we can immediately encircle the Han army on the other wing." Tuoba Han said, "If you can completely encircle and annihilate this Han army, it will be very beneficial to attack Chang'an City in the south." ”
Ritsuri glanced at him and smiled, "What? Are you still planning to attack Chang'an City? ”
"If the king's troops are not completely annihilated, we still have enough strength to attack Chang'an." Tuoba Han said confidently, "Otherwise, this time we go south, won't we go home empty-handed?" ”
===
Under the command of Mang Zhengji, the Xianbei people suddenly launched a stormy attack on the square where Gao Ran was located.
The Xianbei Iron Cavalry was a team of thirty people, continuously ramming, breaking through, ramming again, and breaking through again, and after paying the price of three hundred people, they finally succeeded in tearing a huge gap. The Xianbei Iron Cavalry swarmed in, and the two sides immediately engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
Yan Rou saw that Gao Ran's phalanx had been broken, and any more insistence would only increase casualties, so he ordered Ming Jin to let Gao Ran's troops retreat.
Gao Ran had no choice but to take the remnants of the soldiers into two teams on the left and right, and quickly retreated to the rear of the army along the phalanx where the jade was located. They quickly regrouped and prepared to fight again.
===
Seeing that his side had successfully broken through, Riri was overjoyed and immediately ordered Tuoba Han to take five thousand iron horsemen to storm the jade phalanx. As long as it breaks for a while, the defeat of the Han army will be certain.
Yan Rou saw the Xianbei people's intentions, and immediately ordered the two phalanxes of Huaxiong and Xianyuyin on the left flank to slowly retreat in order to cope with the defense of the jade phalanx.
Taking advantage of the Han army's movement, Bu Chuihong and Feng Cheng immediately launched a sharp attack on Huaxiong's phalanx with their men and horses. Most of Hua Xiong's men were the western frontier army of Koyi, and they had a lot of experience in blocking and killing the iron cavalry, and they used the battle formation to quickly counterattack and give the Xianbei people a heavy punch.
===
Tuoba Feng received that Helian was surrounded by the bluestone bank, and after the deduction of the law was blocked, he suddenly felt bad. With his keen sense of smell, the leopard finally found an opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and even the danger was met.
He and the leopard fought in Shanggu County in northern Xinjiang, when the leopard was at an extreme disadvantage and had no chance of winning, but the leopard cut the embankment of the Sanggan River, causing a flood and defeating himself. A leopard is a leopard, he doesn't move, and a move is definitely a fatal blow.
If the news is accurate, the armies of Helian and Duskgaiting will definitely be more than lucky. Tuoba Feng immediately ordered the army to speed up its march. Now even if someone accidentally falls into the valley, he doesn't care, he has to hurry to the Boluo Valley to meet with the Ritsuri deduction.
===
Jade and the soldiers resisted stubbornly, and finally withstood the fierce attack of the Xianbei people, and kept the phalanx in a precarious situation. Just when they were secretly rejoicing, Ritsuri Deduction personally stepped out, and he launched the final blow with the last 5,000 men.
The phalanx collapsed with a bang.
Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xiao Lazy and others rushed forward with thousands of defeated soldiers and swore to stop the attack.
At this time, Yan Rou categorically ordered the golden gong to be sounded and the defense was contracted.
He ordered Yushi, Gao Lan, Zhang He, Xiao Lazy and others to quickly retreat into the phalanx with their respective subordinates, and the whole army held on the spot and never retreated.
After several hours of fierce fighting, the 30,000 men deduced by the Ri Ri suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers were exhausted, and they were unable to launch a final assault in the face of the Han army's iron bucket-like defense. They had no choice but to surround the Han legions, waiting for Tuoba Feng's army to come and join them, and then work together to annihilate the enemy.
======================
Li Hong's 50,000 horses rushed into the Boluo Valley at a gallop.
Tuoba Feng's army walked to the wider mountain road, and the iron cavalry accelerated again, and the roar shook the dark mountain field.
===
Yan Rou didn't know if the battle on Qingshi'an was over, and whether Li Hong had already led the army back to help, but he knew that the follow-up armies of the Xianbei people would come one after another, and the blockade of Boluogu had failed.
He decided to take the initiative to attack, tightly entangle the Xianbei people, and prevent them from having the opportunity to divide their troops to the south, so as to buy more time for the Qingshian battlefield to annihilate the enemy.
"Order Xian Yuyin, Zhang He, and Gao Lan to lead people to attack the south of Boluo Valley, and pretend to break through to contain the forces of the Xianbei people."
"Order Huaxiong and Yushi, command the phalanx to squeeze towards the center of the valley, drag the Xianbei people, and entangle them."
===
"Marshal, the Han army is about to break through." Tuoba Han wiped the blood from his beard and shouted, "Do we continue to surround and wait for reinforcements, or intercept one and kill with all our might." ”
"Marshal, the phalanx on the left side of the Han army is moving towards us, and the phalanx on the right is moving south of Boluo Valley." Mang Zhengji said anxiously, "The intention of the Han army is obvious, the left phalanx is to drag us down, and the right phalanx is ready to wait for an opportunity to break through. Marshal, what should we do now, we don't have enough troops. ”
"Why hasn't Tuoba Feng arrived at Boluo Valley yet?" Xiao Ao shouted dissatisfiedly, "He has walked forty miles for more than two hours, and he is crawling on the ground." ”
"You kid clean it up in his mouth." Bu Chuihong pointed his fingers and said angrily, "If you scold my family again, Lao Tzu will kill you with a knife." ”
"Don't argue, don't argue." Tuoba Han hurriedly stopped, "Dashuai, should we continue to surround the Han people, or will we intercept and kill one?" ”
Ri Ri looked around, and said calmly: "The Han army still has two complete phalanxes, more than 10,000 people, if they resolutely break through, it will be difficult for us to block it, but the prey that reaches the mouth can't let them fly again." ”
He pointed at Tuoba Han and said, "Hao Shuai led people to resist the left phalanx of the Han army and firmly controlled the valley mouth, so that after Tuoba Feng's army arrived, he could quickly enter the battlefield. ”
"The other departments, follow me to block the breakthrough of the Han people."
"Marshal, if the phalanx on the left side of the Han army breaks through to the center of the valley, it will cut us off." Tuoba Han shook his head and said, "Let's concentrate all our forces and encircle the phalanx on the left side of the Han army." ”
"Afraid of what?" "As soon as Tuoba Feng's army arrives, the Han army will immediately defend the enemy, and we will kill them all in a blink of an eye." ”
"Blow the trumpet, all departments will form a formation, encircle and fight!"
===
The battle at the mouth of the valley suddenly set off a frenzy, and the soldiers on both sides fell into a frenzy of killing, and they did not stop dying.
Zhang He led thirty people to rush forward and fight fiercely. Xiao Shuai Feng suddenly came out from the left and right with a group of men and horses, and clamped the Han soldiers tightly like pincers.
Gao Ran and Xiao Lazy, who were following behind, were taken aback, and each led a team of soldiers to rescue them.
Yan Rou, who was standing in front of the formation and commanding, shook off the fiery red dagger on his body and picked up the big knife.
"Brothers, kill me with me......"
When the soldiers of the Han army saw the commander personally going into battle, they were all full of morale, and they all took the lead bravely, shouting all the way.
===
Zhang He's spear in his right hand and a war knife in his left hand flew up and down, killing several people in a row.
Feng arrived on a flying horse, and raised his knife to chop.
Zhang He roared, threw the knife into the air, and at the same time held the gun in both hands, looking into the air and stabbing. Feng took a knife and chopped it on Zhang He's spear, but he didn't break Zhang He's spear. He watched as the bloody tip of the spear pierced into his shoulder blade, opened his mouth and let out an earth-shattering scream, rolled over and rolled off his horse.
Zhang He handed the gun to his left hand, grabbed the falling war knife in the air with his right hand, and ran away.
Feng Cheng jumped up and slashed at Zhang He's spear again. The gun didn't move, but his sword slammed into the ground.
"Flutter ......"
The spear roared through his body, sending a splash of blood as it continued to fly, the force of the impact taking him back several steps. Zhang He roared, slashed his head, and his wildly running body rushed past the headless corpse of Fengcheng in an instant, grabbing the bloody hilt of the gun.
"Kill ......"
===
In order to prevent the Han army from breaking through and fleeing, the main forces of the Xianbei people all ran to block the right phalanx of the Han army and relaxed the siege of the left phalanx.
Hua Xiong and Jade took the opportunity to direct the soldiers to advance quickly, quickly occupying the central area of Taniguchi. If the follow-up reinforcements of the Xianbei people arrive, they can temporarily block the valley mouth with only one purpose, that is, to delay it for a while. As long as the reinforcements of the Xianbei people can be delayed to move south, even if the whole army is annihilated, it will not hesitate.
Tuoba Han couldn't resist it, so he had to retreat into the horse rejection formation with his men and horses.
In order to gain time to attack, the Xianbei people did not use their hands to clean up this 500-step long and 300-step wide horse rejection array, they only opened a passage about 30 steps wide in the center of the horse rejection array.
The remnants of soldiers and war horses were everywhere in the horse rejection array, and even if they were to be cleaned up, it would take a long time and a lot of manpower, which was impossible for the Xianbei people to consider.
=====================
The earth was shaking, the night was trembling, the galloping of war horses was coming from far and near, and a huge roar resounded throughout the Boluo Valley.
Ritsuri deduced Huo Ran to look back at the deep darkness. Did the king and the company break through or did the army of leopards arrive?
The Xianbei people were frightened, and the wave of attack quietly receded in the deafening rush.
===
Cheers burst into the sky.
Tuoba Han raised his head and looked back. In the dark night sky, countless red stars suddenly appeared, and the fiery red starlight flickered in the sky, becoming denser and denser, and quickly formed a huge fiery cloud. The fiery cloud is like a bloodthirsty beast, roaring, roaring, roaring.
Tuoba Han was ecstatic in his heart, he raised his war knife and shouted hoarsely: "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, the reinforcements are coming, Lord Tuoba Feng is coming." ”
===
The soldiers of Liri and Xianbei could no longer hear the sound of the horn, their ears were filled with the galloping sound of war horses, the thunder of war drums, and they could no longer see anything else in front of them except the surging iron cavalry of the Han army.
The Xianbei people did not hesitate to beat their horses and gallop, they wanted to escape from the Boluo Valley, escape from the killing of death.
Ritsu let out a howl of despair, and was then swept up in the surging crowd and drowned in the fleeing army.
The defeat was like a mountain.
===
Hua Xiong and Jade commanded the soldiers to fight bloodily.
There were fierce deserters in front of the phalanx, and there was a desperate attack by Tuoba Han in the back, and they were caught off guard for a while, and the defensive formation was once broken by the Xianbei people. However, the morale of the Han soldiers was high at this time, and everyone fought bravely and never retreated. They knew that Li Hong's iron cavalry had arrived in Boluo Valley, and the Xianbei people were not only defeated, but as long as they blocked this only gap, the Xianbei people would be wiped out.
Under the strong attack of tens of thousands of people, the phalanx became more and more brave and strong, and it was like a towering rock, let the wind blow and waves, and stand still.
===
"Attack, attack at will......" Li Hong raised his gun and shouted, "Attack ...... at will"
The drums of the charge and the sound of bull horns filled the night sky.
The iron cavalry of the Han army swept in, and immediately beat the Xianbei people to the point of crying wolves, and the dead and wounded were all over the field.
Xianbei people were in a hurry, so they immediately gave up attacking the phalanx and fled from the horse rejection formation. But the repulsion of the horses was bent and bent, forcing the horses to slow down sharply, and they couldn't go as fast as they wanted, while the deserters who followed them were still swarming in, pushing and trampling each other, and even slashing with knives, causing even more confusion.
The Changshui Battalion and the Fengyun Iron Cavalry took the lead in the rejection array.
The Xianbei people who were crowded in the rejection array finally broke out, screaming and shouting in fear, fleeing in all directions, and the chaos was jaw-dropping.
Some of them rushed into the horse and were stabbed to death, some abandoned their horses and fled but were trampled to death by the people behind, and some were killed by random arrows in a panic in the horse rejection array. Under the protection of a group of attendants, Ritsuri slashed and killed all the way, stepping on the corpses of his own soldiers and escaping.
===
Ritsuri looked back at Bo Luogu with a miserable expression.
The Han army's iron cavalry rushed back and forth in the valley, slashing and killing wantonly. The cannibalism and wanton trampling in the horse rejection array continued, and the long arrows of the Han army were pouring into the horse rejection array like rain, and few could barely escape. Tuoba Han could not resist the counterattack and arrow array of the Han people, and fled with more than 3,000 people in embarrassment.
===
Tuoba Feng rushed to the mouth of the Boluo Valley first.
He stared at the bloody slaughter in the valley in amazement, and for a moment he was at a loss. Pain and hatred intertwined, violently pounding on his nerves, leaving him heartbroken and grief-stricken.
"Leopard ......," he raised his arms and shouted, "I'm going to kill you......"
===
After Xiao Ao killed several people in a row, he finally stood out of the encirclement.
With a few of his men, he rushed to several Changshui Battalion soldiers guarding near the Horse Rejection Formation, intending to escape from Tiansheng.
He Feng saw his subordinates fall one after another, and he was furious and flew to kill, "Lao Tzu split you......" His sword flew, killing three people in a row in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Ao took the opportunity to leap up and rushed into the rejection formation.
He Feng roared angrily, threw his war knife at Xiao Ao's war horse splitter, and at the same time pulled out a spear stuck in the enemy's corpse, and then galloped wildly.
The war knife penetrated straight into the chest and abdomen of the war horse. The horse neighed in pain, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground with a bang. Xiao Ao was caught off guard and flew down.
He Feng saw Xiao Ao hurriedly getting up, running for his life, and his eyes were so angry that he wanted to split.
"Lao Tzu killed you......"
He roared and stood on the ground with his spear, his sturdy body soaring into the air with the elasticity of his spear.
"Die!"
He Feng kicked Xiao Ao's vest and immediately kicked Xiao Ao into the air.
Xiao Ao opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, his limbs waved weakly in the air, and then smashed straight down to a rejection horse, and the huge rejection horse tip rushed out of his chest with a trace of bloody flesh "fluttering".
He Feng staggered to his feet and spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.
"The man who dared to kill Lao Tzu ......"
===
Bu Chuihong stubbornly resisted, he relied on his bravery, led hundreds of people to form a formation to defend himself, and rushed back and forth with the Han army to kill, not afraid.
Yan Liang Pegasus was killed, and the two horses were staggered, and the knife fell in his hand, and he chopped off half of the horse's buttocks alive.
Bu Chuihong turned over and jumped up, raising his knife and looking around. Yan Liang reined in the war horse and jumped down with a big knife.
Bu Chuihong was suddenly full of fighting spirit, raised his knife and roared, "Kill ......"
Yan Liang watched Bu Chuihong rushing over, snorting a half-sneer in his nose, and his eyes were violent.
Bu Chuihong took thirteen steps in a row, and slashed thirteen knives in a row, Yan Liang was calm and unhurried, one by one. Suddenly, Yan Liang shouted wildly, the knife was like a meteor, cutting through the air, and the big head of the weeping rainbow rose into the air in an instant.
Yan Liang didn't look at it, and flew away on the horse.
The headless corpse of the weeping rainbow took a step further and fell with a knife raised.
===
Ritsuri saw Tuoba Feng, and suddenly ran a few steps, and was met with a punch.
Tuoba Feng's eyes were quick, he grabbed his fist and shouted, "Old Niu, calm down." ”
"Why are you here now? Why? Ritsuri nervously raised his hands and roared, "My people are all gone, and they are all dead." ”
"Why don't you attack yet? Why? ”
Tuoba Feng looked at him coldly, the muscles on his face twitching in pain.
"What about the king? Is there any news of the king? ”
After Ritsuri threw a punch and shouted twice, his excitement calmed down a little. He shook his head and looked at the blazing Boluo Valley, speechless.
===
Li Hong stood in the horse rejection formation, looking at the murderous Xianbei army on the hillside in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Beat the drums, get ready to fight again!"
