Chapter 217 The Difficult War of the Xin'an Army
The war, just like this, broke out at a moment that no one expected.

Qin Guan was doing his best to minimize the loss of the people, and everyone went to the city to escape.

At first, he regretted leaving Xiong Da Xiong Er and the others in the border army, leaving Xiongzhou extremely empty, but thinking about it, their presence is also a supplement to the strength of the border.

After arranging the local affairs of Xiongzhou, Qin Guan remembered that Han Shicheng led more than 2 Xin'an troops to stop [-] cavalry from the Liao Kingdom.

No, I'm going to the front.

Tell Xu Tongpan about this idea, Xu Qing strongly objected, "Sir, although you have the title of military commander, you are the magistrate of Xiongzhou. It is too dangerous to go to the front line."

Qin Guan shook his head, "If an army of [-] invades, Xiongzhou is not in danger."

Qin Guan put on his armor, took the Overlord Spear, and led a hundred guards, and rode out of Xiongzhou on horseback. He didn't go directly to the Xin'an Army, but to the Baode Army Tuncheng.

At this time, the Baode Army has been notified and is ready to fight. However, the main task of the Baode Army is to defend the front line of the Xixia Kingdom. They dare not go out to support the Xin'an Army without an order from Shangfeng.

As soon as Qin Guan entered the city of the Baode army, Zhao Decheng rushed to meet him. Qin Guan said to Zhao Decheng, "Is it possible to send troops to Chitang Pass and stop the enemy with the Xin'an army?"

Zhao Decheng shook his head and said in embarrassment: "My lord, it is not necessary to send troops. If we go to support the Xin'an Army, the Great Xia Kingdom will take the opportunity to invade from this line, and the border will not have any defensive capabilities. At that time, the Xixia Army will be able to drive straight in. We , a hundred deaths cannot escape the blame."

Qin Guan frowned. He knew Zhao Decheng's difficulties. They generals could not fight as they wanted.

Qin Guan finally said: "Can you lend me a few thousand soldiers?"

"How much do you want, my lord?"

"How many cavalry do you have?" Qin Guan asked.

"Three thousand."

"Give me all your cavalry, plus Xiong Er's [-] cavalry, and make up [-]. I think it will be of some help to the Xin'an Army." Qin Guan said.

Zhao Decheng gritted his teeth, "Alright my lord, I'm going to gather the cavalry right now."

Half an hour later, Qin Guan took the lead, and Xiong Er and Huang Luanfeng followed closely behind with [-] cavalry.

The cavalry team was fast, and it only took half a day for Qin Guan to arrive at the city of the Xin'an army. After seeing Xiong Da, Xiong Da told him that the Xin'an army had organized a line of defense at Chitang Pass, which had blocked the Liao army for a day. time.

Qin Guan immediately ordered: "Xiong Da, organize 5000 infantry, and the rest will continue to guard the city, and we will go to support the Xin'an Army."

Chitang Pass is called Guan, but it is not a Great Wall pass like Jiayuguan Shanhaiguan, it is just a place name.

Surrounded by continuous mountains and forests, with a mountain road in the middle, the Great Zhao State built a city gate at the mouth of the valley, which was used as a pass in peacetime and used to stop the enemy in wartime.

At this time, a fierce battle was going on at Chitangguan. Those Liao soldiers were carrying ladders and holding simple knives in their mouths, and they were desperately climbing up. kill.

Han Yuqing came up to Han Shicheng with a spear in his hand, and his battle armor was stained with blood, and said, "Father, there are too many enemies and our army has suffered heavy losses. There are no less than 2000 dead and wounded. The sons are about to be overwhelmed."

Han Shicheng said with a sullen face: "It's a long time to be able to stand up for a while, and we have no advantage in the plains."

Qu Li sat on the horse, watching his soldiers rushing towards the city wall from a distance, and said to the lieutenant in a deep voice: "Speed ​​up the pace of the attack, we must take Chitang Pass before sunset."

"Yes."

The lieutenant general took the order, and after a while, the attack of the Liao Kingdom became more violent, and some soldiers were able to rush to the top of the city. The Liao army and the Zhao army launched a fierce battle at the top of the city.

Han Yuqing danced with a silver bell spear, piercing the throat of a Liao soldier who was rushing towards him, and when he picked it out, the soldier's body flew out of the city wall and hit a group of Liao soldiers who were climbing the ladder. Go down four or five people.

Suddenly, a Liao warrior as strong as a bear rushed to the top of the city, holding a long-handled sledgehammer in his hand. When he saw Han Yuqing, he roared and rushed forward with a hammer.

There was a whistling sound of the hammer, and Han Yuqing clasped his hands together, only to hear a clang, and Han Yuqing was thrown several meters away with his gun.

The corner of Han Yuqing's mouth was bleeding, and he was injured internally. His arms seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't lift them up. The bear man rushed towards Han Yuqing again. Two soldiers ran over and stood in front of Han Yuqing. The man swung a sledgehammer, cracking With two beeps, the two soldiers were sent flying.

Seeing that the heavy hammer was about to fall in front of him, a spear stretched out from the side, and with a bang, it pierced into the side of the strong man. Han Yuqing saw that it was her elder brother who saved her. Han Cheng used his only remaining arm, Holding the gun with one hand, he stabbed the spear into the strong man's body.

"what!"

The strong man let out a roar, threw the sledgehammer in his hand, and slammed it on Han Cheng's chest. Han Cheng flew four or five meters away, and a big hole was smashed out of the armor on his chest after landing.

"Pfft, cough cough."

Han Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood and was seriously injured.

Han Shicheng swung his spear and killed several Liao soldiers. At this moment, there was a bang, and the gate of Chitang Pass was smashed.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Han Shicheng shouted, "Everyone withdraw from the walls, and we will defend the second line of defense."

A soldier stepped forward to block it for a while, then withdrew the three members of the Han family, stepped on their horses and led the rest of the soldiers, and ran towards the open field on horseback.

"The city gate is open."

"Kill!"

The Liao cavalry roared and rushed into Chitang Pass, and behind Chitang Pass was the open plain of Xiongzhou.

On the plain, stands an army formation, which is the "eight gate formation" of the Xin'an Army.

The formation sounds mysterious, but in fact it is nothing more than the formation of the team during the battle. What kind of terrain, what kind of enemy to face, the formation of effective defense and effective killing of the enemy, this is the army formation.

The three members of the Han family rode into the army formation, and the openings of the army formation merged immediately. As soon as they got inside, Han Cheng couldn't hold on anymore and fell off his horse. A soldier came over and quickly carried Han Cheng to the back for treatment.

At this moment, Han Yuqing's face was also pale, her two arms were seriously injured, and she still couldn't lift a gun to kill the enemy.

Looking at the Liao army who came to kill him, Han Shicheng had a serious face. He knew that today the Xin'an army might have to confess here.

Infantry versus cavalry, the odds of winning are slim, and you can only defeat the opponent by superior numbers, but now I only have [-] infantry, facing the Liao Kingdom's [-] cavalry, how can I win unless the God of War descends to earth.

"Crash."

The vanguard of the Liao army chasing the three of Han's father and son had already arrived, their numbers were small but they were menacing.

Han Shicheng shouted in a deep voice: "The archers are ready, let the arrows go."

　A major turning point, whether Han Yuqing is alive or dead, what are the opinions of book friends?
