Chapter 123: Victory and Defeat
In terms of Chen Shihua's martial arts, he can indeed rank among the generals of the Silk Country, even Wang Hanxin is difficult to gain the upper hand over him, but Hesa's martial arts are better than Wang Hanxin, and he already has a deep understanding of Chen Shihua's martial arts when he was undercover in Chang'an, so it is almost impossible for Chen Shihua to win against Hesa, but Hesa did not use all his strength. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoHe wanted to win this battle and wipe out the army of the Silk Country, but he didn't want to hurt Chen Shihua's life, and if possible, he wanted to capture Chen Shihua alive.
Even Chen Shihua felt this, and he immediately scolded: "Hesa! What are you doing bastard? If you dare to show mercy, I will never spare you! β
"Brother Chen, you, let's go."
"I'm leaving?! Hmph, you put it lightly, do you think you can win me? This is a battle between two armies! It's your fight to the death! Do you think it's a child's house? β
"I see, Brother Chen. For the honor of the warriors, I will definitely do my best, you be careful! Hesa said, his hands tightening.
As soon as Hesa became serious, Chen Shihua soon fell into passivity. In the blink of an eye, the two had already walked for more than 20 rounds, and at this time, Chen Shihua had been completely suppressed and it was difficult to fight back, but he fought to the death and did not retreat.
"Brother Chen, if you don't leave, you won't have a chance!" Hesa uttered a voice that bordered on pleading.
But Chen Shihua didn't answer, he didn't have the strength to speak. At this time, a stray arrow hit Chen Shihua's right shoulder, Chen Shihua's hand slowed down slightly, and Hesa's spear had already pierced his left abdomen!
"Which bastard put the cold arrow!" Seeing this, Hesa was furious, this arrow not only hurt Chen Shihua hard, but also destroyed the fair duel between the two, and in an instant, Hesa wanted to immediately kill the person who released the cold arrow.
"It's providential, Hesa." As soon as Chen Shihua spoke, blood came out: "Between you and me, and even between you and Wang Hanxin, there will be such a day sooner or later, either you die or I live, but this time it is me who dies." β
"Brother Chen, stop talking, I will definitely save you!"
Chen Shihua smiled and said, "I said it, do you think you will definitely win me?" You killed me, but you weren't the one who won in the end! β
Just as Hesa was surprised by Chen Shihua's last words, an earth-shattering sound filled his ears!
The other half of the troops, which were originally protected by Chen Shihua's team, were already facing a direct attack from the Tukchi cavalry at this time, but they pushed out several strange vehicles, and the black tree trunks on these vehicles spewed fierce flames, and the Tukchi cavalry who rushed to the front suddenly fell to the ground!
The Tukchi cavalry were stunned by the sudden blow, not to mention them, and even the horses they sat on were frightened into a mess. At this time, the second round of blows came, and those soldiers of the Silk Country did not take advantage of the chaos of the Tuqi cavalry to launch a counterattack, but took out black branches one after another.
"Quick! Run! "Some of the Tukchi cavalry have seen the power of this black branch, and they have suffered a great loss of this weapon in the land of silk.
Unfortunately, not everyone understood the meaning of this sentence, as the two thousand "black branches" of the army of the Silk Country spewed flames, a large number of cavalry were swept to the ground, and the splattering flesh and screams were even louder than the sound made by these "black branches".
In just two blows, the offensive array of the Turkic army was shattered, and the surviving men and horses were all in chaos, the people in front wanted to flee backwards, the people behind still wanted to rush forward, and the people in the middle wanted to flee out, but the horses on the periphery did not obey the orders of their masters and ran around, and everyone became stragglers.
At this time, the second salvo of the Thunderbolt of the Silk Country began, followed by the second salvo of the Gunner. If the first blow was a blow to the Turks, then the second salvo was a fatal blow. The Turks understood the frequency of the enemy's attacks, and it was possible to use this interval to attack, if their array had not yet collapsed. Unfortunately, at this time, the chaos of the Turkic army had extended to the rear, and the entire army was showing signs of collapse.
It wasn't until this time that Hesa woke up: it turned out that Chen Shihua was talking about this, he was using his life to buy time for these weapons to prepare for the stop, so as to win this encounter!
"Brother Chen, you're right, you won," Hesa said and pulled out a spear from Chen Shihua's body, and Chen Shihua's blood sprayed him: "You have fulfilled your duties as a military general, and I must also fulfill my own responsibilities to save my troops!" β
Chen Shihua moved the corners of his mouth slightly, but he didn't say anything, and the whole person fell into the dust.
Hesa tried to give orders to regain control of the army, but by this time the chaotic troops could no longer convey any orders, and the scattered army continued to expand the casualty numbers under the continuous fire and bombardment of the army of the Silk Country, and also expanded the confusion of the cavalry. Hesa couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness, he really wished that his father was by his side at this timeβonly his father could stabilize these chaotic troops.
Now that this situation is beyond the control of Hesa, the most correct thing to do is to take the troops that can still be mastered from this battlefield as soon as possible, and then collect the soldiers who have escaped. Hesa immediately chose to retreat.
At this point, the Baisha River encounter was basically over, and the army of the Silk Country did not chase the Turkat army deeply, and also withdrew from the battlefield after causing enough casualties. Of the 10,000 Turks who participated in the battle, nearly 4,000 remained on the battlefield, more than half of whom were trampled on each other; The army of the Silk Country was 5,000 and more than 2,000 were killed, including the main general Chen Shihua, but Chen Shihua's ten thunderbolts and 2,000 musketeers who were responsible for transporting them to the Western Regions Wang Hanxin suffered almost no losses.
Although the scale of the Battle of Baisha River is not very large, its significance is very far-reaching. Because of Chen Shihua's sacrifice, Wang Hanxin received the most powerful weapon support from the Silk Country at a critical moment, but the troops behind the enemy were killed and wounded by nearly half of the troops who planned to surprise the enemy, and their whereabouts were also exposed, and the suddenness of the surprise attack no longer existed.
