Kou Ying's heart is cold, and Xu Chang's heart is not hot at this time.

Taking advantage of the wind, the fire spread instantly. A large number of soldiers gathered around and wanted to rush down the mountain from the east, but people shouted and horses shouted, and it was a mess. If it was in the wilderness, these cavalry would naturally be safe in the face of danger, and as long as there was a little space , you can quickly requeue.

The cavalry is a pure field army, and has not been trained in mountain warfare. Even in a small mountain like Huangling, the Liaodong cavalry was caught in it and surrounded by fire, but they were at a loss for a while.

Although some soldiers pulled their horses and rushed through the fire formation to the foot of the mountain, they were greeted by bursts of arrows.

At this time, Xu Chang fully understood that the Northwest Army had been prepared for a long time, and if they continued to rush east at this time, it would only increase casualties. These cavalry were trained with great difficulty, and they must not be sent to death in vain.

When he saw the situation on Kou Ying's side before, he wanted to go down the mountain for reinforcements, but the situation he was facing now was not about going down the mountain for reinforcements, but how to keep the thousands of soldiers under his hands.

The slow movement of the Liaodong soldiers on the mountain is certainly due to the lack of mountain training, but the most important reason is that they were dragged by the horses. The horses were terrified under the siege of the fire. There were not a few horses running around, and there were many soldiers. The forest is dense, so it goes without saying that soldiers collide with each other, once the horses scurry up and hit the soldiers, they will be thrown off their feet.

"Don't worry about the horses!" Xu Chang yelled loudly, "Go to the south, go down the mountain from the south." Xu Chang was sober at this critical juncture, but he also knew that the north, west, and east were on fire. The fire in the south has not risen, and the northwest cavalry has not been able to turn to the south. The cavalry is extremely fast, and the mountains are not big.

If you continue to involve the horses, I'm afraid that the whole mountain will be burned, and all the soldiers have not yet reached the foot of the mountain. At this time, they can only make a decisive decision and abandon the horses.

Compared with war horses, people are naturally the most important.

Zhao You's expression was extremely ugly at this time, and he wanted to raise his hand several times to slap himself in the face.

It was his idea to retreat to Huangling, and judging from the situation at the time, it was also the best choice.

But at this moment, he realized that although the Northwest Army was very difficult to fight up the mountain, the Northwest Army had never thought about attacking the mountain from the very beginning, and had already thought about how to deal with the soldiers and horses on the mountain.

He had always thought that the dense forest on the mountain was a natural obstacle preventing the Northwest Army from attacking the mountain, but now it seems that this is the most deadly flaw on the mountain.

Dead wood in winter is extremely easy to burn, but the other party just took advantage of this flaw.

Although he was extremely annoyed, he didn't have time to slap himself at the moment, his subordinates were in a mess, and he had to rush down the mountain with this group of chaotic soldiers and horses. If he stayed on the mountain, he might be burned to death on the hill.

Hearing Xu Chang and Zhao You's orders, the Liaodong soldiers could only turn to the south, but many of them were very reluctant to let them abandon their horses.

In order to train a powerful cavalry corps, Chiliandian has always combined its cavalry with horses, and people and horses eat and sleep together. Chiliandian knows very well that horses have spirituality, and humans have emotions. Humans and horses have lived together for a long time Only when they are together can their hearts blend together, and only such cavalry can become a powerful cavalry that combines man and horse.

For the cavalry, their war horses are like their brothers, and it is really unbearable to abandon them in times of crisis.

Although many people still left their horses behind, many people still pulled their horses and headed south. A large number of people moved to the south. Although the situation was critical, the Liaodong soldiers were well-trained and did not scramble for the first , but to maintain as much order as possible.

The fire on the mountain spread very quickly. Some soldiers who came down from the east had no time to withdraw and fell into the sea of ​​flames, unable to advance or retreat. They were burned to death in the fire. Even though the Liaodong soldiers were horrified, they were also angry.

At this time, Xu Chang was holding a knife and leading the soldiers to run south. Seeing that the fire in the south was not burning, he calmed down a little and said loudly: "Everyone, speed up and go down the mountain... !"

At this time, it is naturally impossible for the Liaodong soldiers to maintain an orderly formation, and it is not easy not to fall into the chaos of scrambling for the first. They each shuttled down the mountain in the forest. He had no choice but to drop his horse and escape with red eyes.

The sounds of fighting came from the east one after another. Xu Chang knew that the battle there was extremely tragic. He knew that the Liaodong cavalry had encountered the most difficult battle since they formed an army. He only hoped that Kou Ying and the main cavalry of Liaodong could survive.

He knew very well that Kou Ying would not have led the main force to help Chu Huan if he hadn't been bent on eating the two thousand Northwest cavalry at the time and had withdrawn early according to the original plan. The Liaodong Army will not fall into such a dangerous situation now. In the final analysis, it is because of their eagerness for merit that this situation has occurred.

He was quite ashamed in his heart, and he had already felt that he must die, but he didn't want to be burned to death on the mountain. Even if he wanted to die, he would rush over and fight to death with the Northwest Army.

When he was the first to rush to the foot of the mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief. A Liaodong soldier rushed down the mountain behind him, but those who rushed down the mountain first abandoned their horses and could only walk on foot. Xu Chang rushed to the main battlefield on foot, facing the northwest cavalry, but Xu Chang did not hesitate, with a gloomy face, holding a knife, without thinking, he ran to the east, followed by the soldiers behind him, getting closer and closer. More and more soldiers rushed down from the mountain to follow behind. Xu Chang ran less than two or three miles away, and nearly a thousand people followed behind him.

At this moment, the steed neighed and the hooves sounded. Xu Chang looked forward and saw hundreds of cavalry from the Northwest approaching, galloping like tigers. Before they approached, they had already raised their sabers. Under the sun, the sabers gleamed coldly.

Xu Chang clenched his saber tightly, his eyes widened angrily, but there were already soldiers rushing forward behind him, forming several human walls in front of him.

The cavalry knew the power of the cavalry's charge best. The hundreds of cavalry oncoming seemed to be small in number, but once they rushed over, the destructive power they caused was definitely not weak.

At this time, Xu Chang heard the sound of horseshoes from behind, and then heard a voice from behind: "Everyone, be careful, the Northwesterners are rushing from behind."

Zhao You, who was not far behind Xu Chang, had a wry smile on his lips.

The Northwest Army worked every step of the way, recruiting killers, and everything was within their calculations.

The Liaodong cavalry has now become the Liaodong infantry, while the northwest cavalry is still the northwest cavalry. In this open area under the mountain, there is no chance of winning with infantry against cavalry.

Zhao You also clenched the knife tightly, he knew in his heart that there were many dangers, and this might be his last battle.

"Crash!"

The oncoming northwest iron cavalry poured out like a flood, instantly breaking up the walls of people in front of them, and their sharp swords had already chopped down with dripping killing intent.

......

......

After all, the Liaodong cavalry could not hold on.

There was no formation at all, and the northwest iron cavalry equipped with chest mirrors galloped across the battlefield, their sharp scimitars passed by with the wind, and heads flew up in midair one after another.

Although the formation of the Liaodong Army was completely chaotic, there was a tacit coordination between the various teams of the Northwest Army. After they cut the Liaodong Army into small groups, it seemed that each team was fighting. When a group of Liaodong soldiers reversed the situation and became the upper hand, they would find the nearby Northwest Army coming from the side, and instantly extinguished the reversal.

From top to bottom, Liaodong soldiers already knew that the general situation was over.

If Chi Liandian led them in a fierce battle, perhaps most of them would fight to the death, but their commander was Kou Ying.

In the hearts of the soldiers, Kou Ying is far from being able to compare with Chi Liandian.

Chiliandian is a symbol of the glory and dignity of the Liaodong Army, but Kou Ying is just an ordinary general.

They could fight to the end for Chi Liandian, but in the current situation, many people are not prepared to fight and die for Kou Ying.

In the early days, the morale of the Liaodong Army was not high, and the morale of the army was unstable. It was only because of the strict discipline of the Liaodong Army that Kou Ying could barely keep the Liaodong Army from making trouble.

It's just that the doubts buried in the hearts of the soldiers are enough to have a major impact on their determination to die. Chu Huan seems to be worried that they will forget this, and even personally reminds them before the battle.

If the Liaodong Army went smoothly and gained the upper hand in this battle, everything would be easy to say, but under the repeated attacks of the Northwest Army, seeing their comrades fall in a pool of blood one after another, some Liaodong soldiers finally began to leave the battlefield.

The collapse on the battlefield is like a flood control embankment, as long as there is a gap, it will cause a big collapse, and those Liaodong cavalry who retreated sporadically are undoubtedly the gap that caused the collapse.

Although Kou Ying knew that the situation was critical and that the situation was dangerous, he never gave up hope. He kept waiting, waiting for Qi Sheng's five thousand troops to appear from the flank.

With Huangling burned, Xu Chang's troops could no longer be counted on, but Qi Sheng's troops should be nearby.

The main battlefield has been supported for too long, and he only hoped that the time he bought could wait until Qi Sheng's [-] soldiers appeared from the flanks. The army collapsed, and the Liaodong cavalry would not be defeated too badly.

But he didn't wait for Qi Sheng after all.

Qi Sheng's soldiers and horses never appeared, but the Liaodong soldiers on the battlefield had already begun to retreat.

"General, retreat...!" Several Liao Dong generals approached, "If you don't retreat, it will be too late...!"

Kou Ying knew that it would be too late if he did not withdraw.

More and more Liaodong cavalry retreated to the east, while the northwest cavalry did not follow and pursue those retreating cavalry, but surrounded the central army.

"Qi Sheng, you bastard!" Kou Ying said angrily, "My biggest miscalculation was to hand over five thousand soldiers to you...!" He roared, but he knew very well in his heart that his Miscalculation, not only that.
