Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 638 Manpower is poor
Shen Mu and other cavalry were trapped in the camp for a whole day and night, even when Jiehu's offensive was the most violent, they were not sent to the front.At this time, I was finally able to rush out of the camp, and I was in a manic mood. Once I crossed the trench, the horse stepped over the messy piles of corpses in front of the formation and charged!
At this time, the enemy was still clamoring and roaming in the front line, and the war supervisors in the middle were brandishing long swords and spears and trying to maintain the formation. However, when the cavalry on the opposite side rushed towards them, their efforts collapsed instantly, and those who were not determined to fight The strong men no longer ignored the shouting, cursing, kicking and beating around them, and turned around and ran back!

"The people of Jin stay away, and the slaves die!"

Shen Mu has also been training the horse lance hard for the past few years. At this time, Gao Ju was on the horse, holding the pole with both arms and slamming down vigorously. The heavy and sharp lance blade suddenly jumped down, and in an instant, a Jiehu soldier among the strong men was thrown off his shoulders. The back was cut open, and after the slave corpse lay on the ground, the liver and intestines spurted out from the huge wound on the lower back along with the blood!

Yu Manzhi and other generals also put away their cavalry bows that were scattered and harassing, each wielding their spears and stabbing frequently.With such a fierce charge, all those who watched were terrified, and no one dared to stamp their feet to parry, and immediately turned into a retreat.

However, how could two feet compare to galloping with four hooves? Thousands of cavalry quickly plunged into the broken formation like sharp steel spears.Many soldiers who had no time to dodge all fell on this charging route, and when the male cavalry flew past, they turned into an indistinguishable pool of flesh and blood on the ground!
The Jiehu front camp is almost empty. From yesterday to now, they have always maintained a high offensive rhythm, but the camp defense is almost non-existent.A few knee-less shallow trenches were not enough to resist the enemy. The repelling horses that had been arranged hastily were partly rushed away by the routs of the front line.

Probably, Jiehu never imagined that the southerners would have the courage to cross the camp and attack. At this time, they will have to pay a heavy price for their arrogance of underestimating the enemy!
Because Jiehu also had a large number of cavalry, and the camp was deep and wide, when Shen Mu and others broke through the camp gate, the turmoil in the camp had already subsided.A large number of scattered soldiers were left behind, or fled around the camp.As for those real Jiehu soldiers, they really lived up to the name of elites. In such a chaotic and panic situation, they have already formed a battle formation in the camp, ready to suppress the incoming enemy!
"Fools should die!"

There was no hindrance to each other, Shen Mu laughed out loud when he saw the army of soldiers gathering in front of him, he urged his horsepower even more, and the nearby knights also formed their formation in the charge, slamming into the thick formation in front of them. Army array!

There were more than two hundred people in horse armor in the front line, and they were completely blind to the sparse and messy arrows. They just galloped all the way, and even if the enemies in front of the horse were not picked through, they were all directly knocked into the air!The army formation, which was not very solid at first, was pierced through in an instant!

The heavy cavalry passing by was not the end of the nightmare. There were still knights rushing in afterward, tearing the gap even wider. The entire formation was already torn apart, and they were repeatedly trampled on the ground!

Shen Zhezi went out one after another, surrounded by hundreds of elite soldiers. Although he was exhausted after a sleepless night, he still had the courage to protect the young master tightly.However, they have hardly fought along the way. The scattered soldiers either fled around the formation or rushed straight into the river. Only the road of flesh and blood plowed by iron hooves on the ground is eye-catching!
Shen Zhezi didn't have many regrets for not being able to go to the front line to fight the fierce soldiers of Jiehu.Seeing the messy Jiehu camp that had been trampled and destroyed, he immediately sent people back to the camp and let Lu Yong organize a full-scale counterattack!
There was a lot of commotion ahead, especially the chaotic sound of horseshoes that completely overwhelmed the noise of human voices.After bypassing several collapsed tents, they saw that the Jienu cavalry camp had been washed away, and a large number of ownerless war horses were neighing and running wildly.Perhaps the Jienu cavalry has more exquisite riding skills and more mature tactics, but the charging cavalry and static cavalry are two different types of arms.

It's really punching the master to death!
The Jienu cavalry who were most worried about being defeated so easily, Shen Zhezi knew that the chance of victory had been locked, and he could already put on a modest smile and say that Huang Quan was defeated by underestimating the enemy.This Jie Nu Er devil thought that by fighting fiercely day and night, he could scare himself into a nest of quail, unable to shrink back?It is time to die here!
The battle was not over yet. Huang Quan, who quickly fought back after hearing the news, rushed through the ashes-covered rear camp, and saw Shen Mu's heavy cavalry galloping around the camp, repeatedly trampling on it.But his elite soldiers, who are so precious to their lives, can no longer organize an effective counterattack at this time, and are wandering around waiting to be cut!
"Abusing my son, the thief takes his life!"

What he saw made Huang Quan feel like a knife cut his heart, his eyes were shattered, and he rode his horse forward to kill the worst person!
"Good come!"

Shen Mu swung his lance horizontally, the flanks were no longer blocked, and the armored horse turned horizontally to face Huang Quan who was rushing forward, and lanced straight forward in a straight line.The spear directly pierced the horse's neck, and the galloping horse immediately tilted to the ground and rolled upside down. Huang Quan felt his vision suddenly flicker, his head hit the ground heavily, the armor smashed against the ground and broke instantly, and then passed out completely.

The horse spear penetrated too deep and before it could be pulled out, it was already out of hand. Shen Mu drew out the saber backhand, and was waiting for the horse to make up the knife, but saw dozens of soldiers rushing out of the opposite party. Rejoined the cavalry again, but saw that the man had been dragged out of his horse by the rescuer, and his eyes lit up: "This slave general has a high status!"

Having said that, he didn't catch up any more, but rushed to the side with the formation to fight against dozens of stubborn resisters!

"Don't get away from Huang Quan!"

At this time, Hu Run and other Shengwu soldiers who were still fighting against the enemy by the riverside had also escaped from the formation and joined the ongoing siege.

"The slave will be Huang Quan?"

When Shen Mu heard the yelling, he realized it later, and his movements froze for a moment, realizing that the first victory in this battle had passed him by, and he felt quite annoyed.Fortunately, he had been paying attention to the direction of the opponent's escape just now, and when he roared and swung his knife like flying, the wind swept away the enemies nearby, and then waved to everyone: "Follow me to chase the enemy!"

It's no wonder that Shen Mu was careless. Although the battle went well, Shen Mu still took Huang Quan, a mighty general who was Shi Shilong's fake son, very seriously.Just before the battle, he had been paying attention and observing, how could he have thought that the slave general who rushed out of the diagonal, was not his own enemy, but Huang Quan!

"Remove the vest!"

All the way out of the camp, but there was no trace of the thief leader in sight. Shen Mu got off his horse, directly removed the horse armor that severely restricted the horse's speed, and then got on the horse and chased wildly.

When Shen Zhezi joined Lu Yong who came after him and rushed to the rear, the killing had become a pursuit. When he learned from the knights in the front that Huang Quan had escaped from the camp, his brows were also slightly frowned, signaling that all the soldiers would be seized. At the same time, the war horse quickly ordered Hu Run to quickly set up a fast boat, and chase after land and water: "If you don't take the leader of the thief, you will never return to the camp!"

The soldiers promised with a bang, the joy of the victory was inspiring, and even the exhaustion after the fierce battle was swept away, and they immediately organized troops to chase after the order, and they had to fight all the way!
When Huang Quan woke up again, the sky was already bright, and the mountains and rivers rushed back in his eyes. The violent bumps made his bloody arms tear like pain, and he couldn't help moaning.

"The lord is awake, the lord is awake..."

The sound of surprise spread, and the panic-stricken poor soldiers all turned their heads and looked over when they heard the sound, their pale cheeks gradually turning red.The Lord will wake up and let them have a backbone again.

The broken army temporarily paused in the valley in front of him. While dealing with his injuries, Huang Quan closed his eyes and listened to the general explain what happened after he fainted.The camp has been broken, and all the troops are routed. Fortunately, these elites have experienced hundreds of battles. Although there are many victories, they also have a lot of experience in defeat. They protected Huang Quan and escaped all the way. At this time, there are still more than a thousand people nearby.

"If it wasn't for the southern thieves chasing too much, there would be more audiences..."

When the general spoke up to this point, his eyes were full of ruthlessness and pity. It was deeply painful to see many of the troops who could have been gathered were driven away by the relentless southern bandits.

Huang Quan was not in good condition at this time, half of his body was paralyzed and almost painless, and he was so weak that he could not win his armor. After resting his mind for a while, he said in a low voice: "This defeat is not a crime of war. The southern bandits only rely on their weapons to win. If..."

"The Southern Bandit has caught up again!"

Huang Quan hadn't finished speaking, and the rear ranger had already rushed back to report.Hearing this, Huang Quan raised his eyebrows, wishing he could fight to the death with the southern thieves chasing soldiers. He was careless for a while, but he was definitely not the same as these southern thieves killing dogs.But seeing that the left and right sides are exhausted, and the weapons are not complete, it is really unbearable to fight again.

"Get on the horse! Let's retreat for now, and fight the bandits again in the future, and take revenge!"

Huang Quan gave the order bitterly, but he hesitated a bit when he chose the direction of escape.The southern thieves monopolize the water conservancy, and if they still escape along the river, the prospect will be bleak.But they are currently smearing water upstream. If they want to avoid the water, they can only go west, but the west is the way to come, and the Yuzhou army will appear at any time.

After pondering for a moment, Huang Quan immediately made a decision: "Follow the river to the north!"

Going further north from here is in the direction of Huainan.Naturally, Huang Quan didn't want to flee to Huainan. After all, Peng Biao in Huainan was no less malicious towards him than the pursuers behind him.But the pursuers behind him didn't know, he was going to use the Huainan soldiers to frighten the pursuers, wait until they were thrown away, and then go elsewhere.

So this group of remnant teachers ran northward along the river, but this flight lasted for a whole day, the southern bandits clung to the rear of their team, and fast boats continued to come galloping on the river, but they couldn't make it in time. Go ashore to block.

But on the way of fleeing, some people kept falling behind, because there were too few horses when fleeing, and only half of the thousand or so people had horses.At the beginning, two people can ride together, but the horsepower will inevitably be greatly lost.In the end, more and more people were left behind, and the horses even had a surplus, but at the same time, some horses lost their strength!
Running wildly all the way, Huang Quan felt extremely hated seeing all the soldiers of the direct descendants disappearing behind him one by one.This is all tied to his wealth and life. Looking away from everyone like this is tantamount to cutting himself off!
In the evening, the team was able to change horses and flee, but the price was that the number of soldiers had shrunk significantly, and there were only more than [-] soldiers left by Huang Quan's side!All of them were exhausted and almost lost their balance and fell off their horses.This way of fleeing, the southern bandits were always chasing after him, and the exhaustion of their physical strength was second to none. They watched their comrades fall behind one by one, and their morale had dropped to the bottom.

Huang Quan has already changed to the third horse. He is seriously injured and cannot ride alone, so he needs to ride with his own soldiers.Occasionally, he turned his head and saw the smoke and dust entrenched in the back road, almost gnashing his teeth, and he couldn't even hate him. What kind of opponent did he provoke?Don't you know that Huainan still has a heavy military deployment?How dare you chase after him so hard!

At this time, they had already escaped from the area where the water was applied, and there was no obvious reference in their field of vision, and the sun had gradually set.Huang Quan was originally in a state of ashen ashes, but sparks of hope were shining, he cheered up and said loudly: "The southern bandits have never been able to fight in the field, and the night is a good opportunity to escape! There is no permanent victor in the world. In the early years, the poor fought hard with their lives. , can become the master of all armies! Now it’s just a matter of starting all over again, and we can’t give up!”

His yelling not only boosted morale, but also encouraged himself.As long as they can survive the immediate crisis, even if they only rely on the hundreds of people around them, as long as they can break through a few walls, there is still hope for a comeback!

Just before the night fell completely, Huang Quan decisively ordered his soldiers to turn to the southeast. Tu Zhong, who was more popular at the moment, was still his target, and he could only take him by surprise to form an army again!

After another half an hour of running around in the middle of the night, the sound of chasing after him like a shadow finally disappeared.Huang Quan and the others finally let go of their worries, found a hidden place to rest and eat raw horses.

"Who is here?"

There was a sudden shout in the night, like a signal, and then a high-pitched drum and horn sounded in the distance.

"Manpower is poor, and there is always death..."

He fled all the way and suddenly let go, even Huang Quan himself was weak and unable to escape. He looked at the sky and laughed miserably, but there was no lack of regret in his heart. If he hadn't been greedy the day before, he might not have failed like this... The sound of horseshoes is getting closer, the night sky is full of cumulus clouds, and the stars are not shining.
