Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 247 The brave will win
The Qiang army's infantry were in great disarray.

They attacked the city and fought fiercely for a day. They were hungry and had no physical strength. They thought that the camp had been robbed and they were under heavy siege. In such an extremely bad situation, they still had some fighting spirit left.

Especially facing the Yan Army's three thousand armored cavalry.

The cavalry charge was overwhelming and majestic, especially the armored cavalry whose men and horses were heavily armored. Their impact could not be stopped by flesh and blood.

Seeing this group of iron lumps, the Qiang army, which did not use the formation of horses or chariots as cover, was afraid to avoid them and dispersed like birds and beasts.

Seeing that Yan Jun's armored cavalry was getting closer and closer to Yao Xiang's position, Yao Chang pulled Yao Xiang's reins and said anxiously:

"Brother! Let's go!"

Yao Xiang was furious and whipped Yao Chang on him:

"Brother, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death? I would rather die than abandon the generals of the army!"

Yao Chang endured the severe pain and urged:

To be honest, although Yao Xiang knew that Murong Ke was bluffing by making such noise on the east and west sides, Yao Xiang himself had no idea how many people Murong Ke had brought.

Yao Xiang no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth and shouted:
"go!"

Since Murong Ke's main force was in the south, Yao Xiang and Yao Chang led thousands of cavalry to break out eastward. As for the panicked infantry, Yao Xiang could no longer take care of them.

Of course, there is no time for him to consider this issue now. Even if he wants to find Duan Gong to hold him accountable, he still has to overcome the current difficulties.

But why did Duan Gong lie to himself, and what good would it do to him.

"Brother! The morale of the army is now in chaos, and the soldiers no longer listen to orders. Why is brother so stubborn!
"Where there is life, there is hope!

But now on the battlefield, the Yan Army's cavalry and soldiers number no less than ten thousand. In short, the main force of the Yan Army has returned to Hebei, right in Ye County.

Three thousand armored cavalry led by Fu Yan rampaged across the battlefield. Wherever the Qiang infantry showed signs of gathering, they would attack there and cooperate with Murong Chui's Yecheng defenders to kill and surrender the Qiang infantry.

Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu. In order to escape for his life, he even kicked his children out of the carriage. But as long as he spared his life, he would finally have a chance to wash away his shame.

Previously, thick smoke was rising from the direction of the camp, which also made Yao Xiang mistakenly believe that the camp had been captured by the Yan army.

"Pass my military order! Let General Fu lead the armored cavalry to continue charging and killing the infantry. Don't let them form formations. The rest of the soldiers will follow me to chase down the enemy's cavalry!"

In the other group, Murong Ke commanded 6,000 fine cavalry, chasing and killing Yao Xiang who broke out to the east.

Even though thousands of Qiang troops were approaching fiercely, Murong Zang was not afraid at all. He shouted to the five hundred cavalry beside him:
"Quick! Drive the horses! Follow me to intercept the enemy's cavalry!"

"My brother is responsible for the rise and fall of the Qiang people, how can he talk about life and death lightly! Has my brother forgotten his father's instructions before his death?"

Yao Xiang was given a slap in the face, and finally came to his senses and admitted that his failure was not terrible.

This question puzzled Yao Xiang.

Of course Murong Ke noticed the movements of the Qiang cavalry. The battlefield was so noisy that Murong Ke had to open his voice and shout:

He left 10,000 cavalry in the camp. If the Yan army wanted to capture the camp, it would be impossible if the Yan army did not have 20,000 or 30,000 people.

The military order was conveyed, and in an instant, the Yan army's nine thousand cavalry soldiers were divided into two groups.

This made Yao Xiang itch with hatred: Fortunately, I believed Duan Gong's lies and thought Murong Ke's army was still in Qingzhou.

Murong Zang was bluffing to the east at this time, and saw thousands of Qiang army's cavalry trying to break out to the east, while Murong Ke's pursuers were behind him.

Of course, five hundred cavalry could not stop Yao Xiang's thousands of cavalry, but Murong Zang still had more than 10,000 substitute horses.

When he and the five hundred cavalry drove the walking horses towards the Qiang army, before they could get closer, the walking horses were frightened and became confused. They no longer obeyed the command and scattered in all directions.

After all, these walking horses are also living beings, and they also know fear. Murong Zangming clearly drove them to collide with the Qiang army. How could they not be afraid when they saw the Qiang army's cavalry rushing towards them.

Courage is the biggest difference between a war horse and a walking horse.

However, these frightened walking horses still played a role in delaying the Qiang army.

After all, there are more than 10,000 walking horses, and they are there, running around like a moving Great Wall of flesh and blood.

In order to avoid these Yan Army's riding horses, the Qiang army had to slow down, which also allowed Murong Ke to catch up behind them.

Murong Ke also chased after him from behind. He didn't care about Murong Zang's safety. He couldn't miss the opportunity. Murong Ke led Jingqi to cover up and kill him.

When Yao Xiang saw that the way forward was blocked and Murong Ke was already coming to kill him, he pulled out his horse's stall and said loudly:

"When two armies fight, the brave one will win! Who is willing to turn around and fight to the death with me!"

Yao Chang no longer persuaded his brother to abandon the army at this time. Now they were in enemy territory. If the two brothers abandoned the cavalry, a group of farmers would capture them and bring them to Yecheng to ask for merit.

"I'm willing to accompany you!"

Yao Chang raised his hand and responded.

These thousands of cavalry were originally Yao Xiang's trusted troops, otherwise they would not have been brought to suppress the formation. Now that Yao Xiang wants to turn around and fight again, everyone should follow him.

It's just that although the cavalry brought by Murong Ke are not armored cavalry, they are not the elite soldiers of the Yan Kingdom.

The two cavalry collided together. Since the Qiang army turned around to fight, it did not increase its speed. Therefore, its impact was far inferior to that of the Yan army.

Two elite cavalrymen met each other in close combat. For a moment, blood mist filled the air, people fell on their backs, and screams could be heard endlessly.

In hand-to-hand combat, it is not about which side is more brave, but about the willpower and endurance of both sides, and which side is overwhelmed by fear first.

Yao Xiang, with his men and horses, plunged into the Yan army, waving his horses and harvesting lives, boosting the morale of the army with his bravery.

The horsemen behind him hurriedly guarded him to prevent Yao Xiang from being attacked.

The Qiang army's cavalry were already at a numerical disadvantage, so Yao Xiang could only choose to take the lead and inspire the soldiers.

Since Yao Xiang was not wearing any gorgeous and conspicuous armor, Murong Ke could not find out who Yao Xiang was among the chaotic army, let alone arrange for a sharpshooter to target him specifically.

But on the battlefield, arrows have no eyes.

Just when Yao Xiang became more and more courageous in the battle, and seemed to be leading the Qiang army cavalry to fight a way out of the chaos, a stray arrow shot from an unknown hand, with a scream, went straight to Yao Xiang's face.

"Brother! Be careful!"

Yao Chang's eyes widened with anger and he exclaimed.

Yao Xiang had no time to dodge and was hit by an arrow on his left cheek.

"what!"

With a scream, Yao Xiang immediately fell off his horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The Qiangqi who witnessed this scene were all shocked. No one wanted to believe that this was true.

Yao Xiang's morale, which he had finally built up before, suddenly fell to the bottom.

Yao Chang no longer wanted to fight. With his eyes red, he swept his long spear and forced back the Yan army fighting with him. Then he abandoned his long spear, jumped off his horse and went straight to Yao Xiang who fell from his horse.
