Chapter 278: Shoot Shi Hu

Seeing that Houba was defeated and retreated, the Northern Expeditionary Army swarmed from all sides, and Shi Hu, who was sitting under the umbrella, was a little panicked, he didn't expect that his tens of thousands of elites would be defeated so quickly, and he didn't expect that his personal warrior Houba would lose to Hua'an within a few rounds.

"The king, the last general is incompetent and lost to the Jin general." Hou Ba ran back to Shi Hu's side, first clenched his fists and confessed his guilt, and then, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the Jin army is coming here, let's break through quickly!" All the soldiers of the Longteng Dead Battalion under the command of the last general will be able to protect the king. ”

"Hey!" Shi Hu sighed loudly, and ordered helplessly: "Soldiers, break through to the north and kill ......"

After saying that, he ordered someone to throw away the umbrella cover, Shi Hu clenched his weapons with both hands, and personally rode his horse to lead his own soldiers to break through to the north, and Hou Ba led the elite Longteng Dead Soldier Battalion 1,000 soldiers to follow closely behind and protect Shi Hu.

Seeing that Shi Hu's army was fleeing northward, Hua An rode his horse and chased closely, and shouted: "The Zhao army is defeated, the Zhao army is defeated, the whole army pursues, the whole army pursues, and ...... killed."

Hua An shouted to boost morale, while riding a horse to chase, for the Zhao soldiers who blocked the way, he directly slashed and killed, and then stepped on the corpses of the Zhao soldiers and continued the pursuit.

Responsible for blocking the north intersection is the three thousand soldiers led by Tie Niu, at this time, the Zhao army routs are all pressed to the north, Tie Niu felt the pressure increased, in order to block the enemy's escape road, Tie Niu ordered his soldiers to quickly line up, and the three thousand troops soon formed a dense defensive formation.

In front of the formation were shieldmen and pikemen, behind were crossbowmen, and a small number of cavalry were at the end.

The goose feather snow continued to fall, the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, and the formation formed by the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army in filial piety robes looked like a white city wall made of ice and snow from a distance, which was spectacular and mighty, making the enemy troops who broke through shudder.

"Archer, release the arrows." Tie Niu shouted, and the crossbowmen in the back row pulled their bows and launched several rounds of rapid attacks on the fleeing Zhao army.

Several rounds of arrow rain caused a lot of losses to the scattered Zhao army, but soon, the Zhao soldiers had rushed to the front of the horse rejection array, the bows and crossbows instantly lost their effect, and the shield soldiers and pikemen began to use their flesh and blood to resist the swarming Zhao army, and the crossbowmen also drew their long swords at their waists, ready to come forward to fight.

The snow that was half a foot thick helped the Northern Expeditionary Army, because the snow was stored and stumbled the horse's legs, and the huge number of cavalry of the Zhao army could not give full play to the advantage of speed at all, and the cavalry of the Zhao army rushed to the front of the horse rejection formation, and the speed was much slower than when there was no snow.

The most terrible thing about the cavalry is the huge impact force when charging quickly, and there is no impact when there is no speed, and the cavalry that slows down does not have much advantage at all when fighting the infantry, and even the legs of the horse are cut off by the nimble infantry, so that they fall off the horse and are cut into pulp.

The cavalry of the Zhao army, which rushed to the front of the horse rejection formation, failed to break through the horse rejection formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army because of their speed, but lost a lot of soldiers.

Seeing that the retreat route in the north was cut off by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the Northern Expeditionary Army in the east, west, and south was swarming again, Shi Hu was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to block the enemy in three ways, and at the same time ordered Hou Ba to personally lead five hundred dragon Teng dead soldiers to kill the horse rejection array of the Tie Niu Division.

Hou Ba was extremely brave, and the dead soldiers of Long Teng under his command were also brave outlaws, they launched a strong attack on a point of the Northern Expeditionary Army's horse rejection formation, and soon tore a gap, Hou Ba took the lead in rushing into the Northern Expeditionary Army's military formation, and his subordinates followed closely behind.

Tie Niu, who was in command, saw that a member of the Zhao army broke through his defense, and his heart was furious, and he hurriedly waved his weapon and led the three hundred personal soldiers behind him to kill Hou Ba.

Hou Ba shook his spirit and fought with the Iron Bull for dozens of rounds, the Iron Bull's moves gradually scattered, and some could not resist, at this moment, the five thousand cavalry led by the Zhao Army's forward Peach Leopard. Hearing that the main army was surrounded, he hurriedly turned back and killed him from behind the iron bull.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tie Niu hurriedly abandoned Houba and led his subordinates to retreat to both sides, leaving a way for the scattered army of Zhao to escape.

Seeing that the way back was opened, the Zhao State rout, which had become a frightened bird, rushed north with wolves, and the rout instantly dispersed the army under the command of Peach Leopard.

At this time, the main force of Hua'an and the Northern Expeditionary Army had been tightly bitten together with the scattered Zhao army, and Hua'an, after a burst of rushing and killing, had also approached to a distance of only fifty steps from Shi Hu.

Hua An could even clearly see that Shi Hu's fat body in front of him was just that the dragon warrior who was protecting Shi Hu's side was extremely powerful, and Hua An had to put in a lot of effort every time he took a step forward.

The way back was opened, and seeing that Shi Hu was about to escape, Hua Anxin was in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled out the hard bow on his waist, bent the bow and aimed at Shi Hu fifty paces away.

Shi Hu was surrounded by guards, these guards protected Shi Hu tightly, in the process, Shi Hu would occasionally show his body, but soon he would be covered by the guards beside him, this fleeting moment became Hua An's only chance to shoot Shi Hu.

Hua An drew his bow and waited for such an opportunity, and in the moment Shi Hu's body was exposed, Hua An seized the opportunity to release the arrow decisively, and a sharp arrow roared towards Shi Hu.

"Poof." With the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh, Shi Hu's body fell off the horse.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The guards beside him hurriedly helped Shi Hu up.

The general Peach Leopard, who returned from the front, rode his horse into Shi Hu's location, dismounted and helped Shi Hu, and his heart was anxious.

Shi Hu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the sharp arrow inserted into his collarbone, frowned, reached out and forced, broke the sharp arrow and pulled it out of his body.

"Ahhh......h

"Your Majesty, the golden armor on your body is too conspicuous, it is easy to attract the attention of the Jin army, it is better to remove it and let the last general, the last general will definitely lead away the Jin army, so that the king can leave here calmly." Peach Leopard looked at Shi Hujian and said.

"Aren't you in danger, then?" At the moment of life and death, Shi Hu actually talked about benevolence and righteousness.

Seeing that Shi Hu was worried about himself, Peach Leopard suddenly burst into gratitude, and hurriedly said excitedly: "The king doesn't have to worry about the last general, the last general is a courtier, and he should share the worries of the king, this is the way of a minister." ”

"Okay, good, Peach Leopard, you are a loyal minister of this king, and this king will not forget you." Shi Hu greatly praised the peach leopard, and exchanged armor with the peach leopard after speaking.

The moment Shi Hu fell off his horse, Hua Anxin felt a burst of joy, but he couldn't be sure whether Shi Hu was dead or injured, after all, the distance of fifty steps was too far.
