Han ride

Chapter 375
Sure enough, after advancing for only an hour, they saw the sound of gunfire from left and right, and a group of people rushed out. The leader pointed at Li Xin and laughed, and said, "Li Xin, you were fooled at times, and now Xifengkou is about to be captured. Break through, even if you attack now, it may be too late. Haha! Li Xin, Abate has been waiting here for a long time."

"It's Abatai." Li Xin's face changed, obviously he never thought that Huang Taiji would be so thoughtful, he attacked Xifengkou, and at the same time sent troops to intercept Li Xin himself.This consideration is not generally complete.It seems that it will be very difficult to regain Xifengkou.

"Attack." Li Xin looked gloomy, raised Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, our brothers are still fighting at the entrance of Xifeng, can we abandon them?"

"Is there no clothes? I am in the same robe as my son. Wang Yuxing master, repaired my spear, and shared the same hatred with my son. Did I say no clothes? I have the same lust as my son. Wang Yuxing master, repaired my spear and halberd, and worked together with my son..." The tens of thousands of troops behind them let out loud shouts.

"Sir, today I will show you Li Xin's martial arts." Li Xin's face was flushed, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was shining with silver light, and he let out a long howl, and said loudly: "Come on!"

"Come on!" With a cry, tens of thousands of black cavalry broke through the air, rushing down like a mountain torrent, and rushed to Jiannu.

"Soldiers, don't be afraid, the one who kills Li Xin will be made Marquis of Wanhu." Seeing Li Xin rushing, Abatai not only did not show any worry, but said loudly: "The Khan behind is attacking Xifengkou, taking our only way home. We must stop Li Xin and leave a way for our Great Khan."

Under Xifengkou, Huang Taiji was commanding an army to attack Xifengkou. The terrain of Xifengkou was extremely dangerous. Although Huang Taiji had a large army attacking, the army led by Jutu at Xifengkou was extremely defensive.Block Huang Taiji firmly below.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin has led the army back." At this time, Duoduo rushed over and said loudly.

"How about Abatai? Can the army led by him block Li Xin?" Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, his eyes could only be fixed on the Xifengkou in the distance, but there was no hesitation on his face, now Even if Abatai was killed and the army was defeated, Huang Taiji would not take it seriously.As long as Xifengkou is captured, he doesn't care no matter how many soldiers and horses are killed or injured.

"I don't know yet, but, on Li Xin's side, I heard that Li Xin personally led the army to charge the battle. He led the most powerful army to conquer the North. I'm afraid Abatai's side will not be able to resist it. .” Dodo said with his head down.

"Let's talk about it when he can't take it anymore." Huang Taiji said to the eunuch beside him: "Send the order, change to a thousand-man team, and continue to attack. We must take down Xifengkou. Hehe, I looked at it, and the one on it is The number of bows and arrows has decreased a lot, hum, even if you are full of archers, you can’t shoot arrows all the time. I’m afraid the archers above can’t hold on anymore.”

"My lord, if you don't come to the rescue, I'm afraid my subordinates won't be able to hold on." On the top of the city, Jutu looked at the army of slaves who were attacking the city with an anxious look on his face.Although he occupies the main area of ​​Xifengkou, but also, his soldiers are too few, and the opponent has too many soldiers, tens of thousands of troops. In addition, these people are attacking even more frantically in order to survive. It's also fortunate that Xifeng's mouth is not big, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can't deploy here, but even so, Jutu thinks that he can't last long, some soldiers can't pull the bowstring, and they can't shoot well. Arrows, some soldiers' bow strings have been broken, but they are holding long knives in their hands, and they are also fighting on the top of the city.Just how long can this situation last?Jutu didn't know.

"General, Jianu is coming up again, why don't we retreat to the second pass!" the soldiers around Jutu suggested loudly.

Gou Tu glanced behind him, and saw that the second pass behind him was even more dangerous than the first pass. He thought for a while, nodded, and said loudly: "Quick, send the order, let's go to the second pass. The pass is even more dangerous. Jiannu was captured. The lord must have known about Xifengkou by now. Maybe we are already on our way. As long as we persevere, we will definitely be able to wait until the lord arrives. When the time comes, we will With a pincer attack from both sides, we will surely defeat Jiannu, and then we will be able to make a great contribution.” Jutu’s words suddenly made these things see hope, and they all stood up immediately, and the wounded soldiers were also supported by their comrades. Retreat to the second pass, set up a new formation, and wait for the arrival of Jiannu.

"Your Majesty, we have captured the first pass, but the remnants of the North Army have retreated to the second pass." At this time, the main attack was General Hauge.He was beaming with joy.

"Haha, Xifengkou has finally fallen into my hands." After hearing this, Huang Taiji burst out laughing, pointed at Xifengkou with his whip, and said, "Isn't Li Xin directing it personally? How can we capture Xifengkou?"

"Your Majesty, this second pass is more dangerous than the first pass!" Duoduo said worriedly.

"Lord Belle, there are three passes at the entrance of Xifeng. In terms of steepness, it is the last pass, but in terms of importance, it is the first pass. As long as we occupy the first pass, it is enough to keep Li Xin at the pass of Xifeng. Finally at the second pass, there are very few soldiers guarding the pass, and we have locked the gate, are we afraid that we will not be able to pass through the pass?" Fan Wencheng laughed out loud.Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng naturally knew about the situation at Xifengkou.Unlike others, the two of them were not paying attention to the last two passes, but the first pass. As long as they occupied the first pass, they could easily deal with the pursuers.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." However, at this moment, a group of rout soldiers came galloping in the distance. Huang Taiji looked at it, and his face changed. It turned out that the person who came was none other than Abate, who was ordered to stop Li Xin. At this time, he was not in a bad mood, his armor was crooked, his face was covered with blood, his hands were hanging down, and even his huge body was supported by a personal soldier.

"What's going on?" Huang Taiji's complexion changed, and he snorted coldly, "A [-] army is still blocking Li Xin? How many troops does Li Xin have?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Li Xin personally led the army into the battle. He is very brave, and there is no general under his command." Abatai said quickly: "The servant fought with him for ten rounds and was injured by him. The servant risked his life to save me, I am afraid that the emperor will not see me anymore."

"Your Majesty, Li Xin is brave, and the imperial guards around him are the best of the best. It's normal for Baylor to be unable to resist. Fortunately, we have already captured the first pass. The army's retreat is enough to keep Li Xin out of the pass. .” Fan Wencheng quickly persuaded.

"Report, my lord, General Jutu can't resist, and has already led the remaining troops to retreat to the second pass." Li Xin, who had just defeated Abatai, was about to lead the army to continue the attack, when another spies broke in.

"It's all right now, the little boy Jutu is leaning on Xiongguan. What a good idea!" Gao Meng laughed and said after hearing this.

"Not good." Unlike Gao Meng, Li Xin and Shi Yuanzhi's complexion changed drastically, and they lost their voices: "Judu is in danger, Xifengkou may be captured by Jiannu."

"My lord, there are three gates at the entrance of Xifeng Mountain, and one gate is more disgusting than the other. If you suddenly guard this gate, how could you lose it?" Gao Meng asked suspiciously.

"General Gao doesn't know that General Ruojutu has an army of [-]. Even if he retreats to the third pass, Jiannu can't do anything about it. The first pass seems to be the shortest, but it's far away from my reinforcements." Recently, no matter how much Jutu's soldiers and horses have lost, as long as our army arrives, Jiannu can only retreat, but now it is different. Jiannu has occupied the first pass, and the army can block our attack. We are in a hurry Now, it is very difficult to attack the first pass. Jiannu occupies a favorable position and can easily keep us out, and he can also dispatch some troops to continue to attack General Jutu. Since General Jutu has retreated to the second Daoguan, it means that he has not many troops. Without reinforcements, how can he resist Jiannu's attack?" Shi Yuanzhi sighed: "It can be said that if General Jutu does not withdraw, there will still be soldiers left." If there is a glimmer of life, once it is withdrawn, it will be the way of death."

"There is a way to notify Jutu and let him withdraw from Xifengkou." Li Xin said softly suddenly, although Xifengkou was lost, allowing Huang Taiji to escape back to Shengjing Shenyang smoothly, but as long as there is someone, There will still be opportunities like this in the future.

Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yebu who was waiting at the side, and ordered: "Find a way to meet General Jutu, tell General Jutu what the lord has said, open a way, let Jiannu leave! "Shi Yuanzhi has no choice but the anger in his eyes betrayed his mood at the moment. You must know that he has always appeared as Li Xin's mastermind, and Li Xin respects him very much. He is both a teacher and a friend. Now Li Xin suffered a big loss in this matter, and lost a best chance to get rid of the enemy. This is a dereliction of duty by the mastermind. If he also lost a general because of this, then Shi Yuanzhi will be even worse. Uneasy.

"My lord, what should I do now?" Gao Meng was furious. Ever since Li Xin became an army, he has been invincible and won every battle. When did such a thing happen? Not only did he lose the battle, but he also lost Xifengkou If not done well, Jutu will die.Thinking about that sentence, he has been with Li Xin for a long time. Although he is a foreigner, he is extremely loyal to Li Xin.If something happened to this, it would be equivalent to weakening Li Xin's strength.

"Give me an order to let Zhao Guang and Hong Chengchou immediately eliminate the enemies behind, and then lead the army to join me, and we will continue to attack." Li Xin looked gloomy.Although there was Shi Yuanzhi's problem this time, in fact, there was also his carelessness in it. If someone was sent to investigate in detail, it would be impossible for Huang Taiji to steal the chicken so easily.

Under the city of Zunhua, the battle was coming to an end. Zhao Guang stood there with a silver gun in his hand and a horizontal knife, and there were nearly ten thousand elite cavalry behind him, and in the distance, there were nearly one hundred thousand troops led by Hong Chengchou.After a night of fighting, plus the soldiers who fled in the chaos, Hong Chengchou now has only so many soldiers under his command.

Hong Chengchou's face twitched from time to time, his eyes showed a cold light, and he stared at the hundreds of men and horses in the middle of the two armies. Each of these hundreds of men and horses had different armor colors on their hands. There was a general in blue armor guarding him, it was Yue Tuo.As time passed, the sky finally brightened, and Hong Chengchou also saw that it was not Huang Taiji or 10,000+ troops who attacked him.But he fled in embarrassment with his soldiers and horses. If Li Xin hadn't led the army to rescue him, his 20 army would have been defeated by the young man in front of him.This made Hong Chengchou feel very embarrassed.

"My lord, Li Xin on the opposite side doesn't seem to be inside!" Lu Xiang raised his eyes sharply, and saw that under the Golden Eagle battle flag, it was not Li Xin, but a young general.As for the soldiers and horses behind them, there are not tens of thousands, on the contrary, there are at most 1 people.

"General Zhao, pass on the lord's order to order the general to quickly deal with the enemy in front of him. It is time for General Hong Chengchou to lead the army to Xifengkou. There must be no mistakes." At this time, a fast horse galloped to the front of the two armies, only to hear the soldier Said loudly.

"Haha, Li Xin, even if you have a clever plan, you will miss it this time. Ahem!" Yue Tuo, who was in the army, understood it, and his heart lit up, and he immediately knew that Huang Taiji must have occupied the entrance of Xifeng. Li Xin In desperation, Zhao Guang and Hong Chengchou had to be ordered to lead the army northward and attack Xifengkou together.This also means that the task entrusted by him has been completed.Can't help laughing.He didn't even care about the blood spurting from his mouth.

"So that's how it is." After hearing this, Hong Chengchou immediately understood why Li Xin didn't lead the army here himself.It turned out that the backyard was on fire, and Huang Taiji led the army to capture Xifengkou.For a moment, Hong Chengchou didn't know whether to be happy or worried.It is also a rare thing to make Li Xin feel deflated.But the fall of Xifengkou meant that the plan to exterminate Jiannu had come to nothing.The imperial court still needs Li Xin to sit on the grassland and deal with Jiannu.

"Lord Hong, shall we obey Li Xin's order later?" Lu Xiangsheng said slightly dissatisfied.Although he hates Li Xin very much, at this time, everyone has a common enemy, that is, Jiannu. Although Jiannu has been besieged by a group, there are still main forces attacking Xifengkou. At this time, it should be to help.

"I'm afraid it's too late to go at this time. But we still have to go. After all, Marquis Zhengbei has helped us a lot this time. If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid there are still some of our 20 troops who can return to the capital." How many people are there?" Hong Chengchou thought for a while and decided to go and see.

"Then these people in front of you?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

"Of course I killed him." An old voice came, but it was Qin Liangyu. This old general was really not old. Before the words were finished, they were ready to fight.

"Kill them." At this time, Zhao Guang who was opposite suddenly said loudly: "Fire arrows for me and shoot them to death."

Jutu at the entrance of Xifeng soon realized that his approach was wrong, because he found that after Jiannu captured the first pass, he immediately blocked the city gate, some of the troops went up the city wall, while others It is to attack the second pass as soon as possible. Fortunately, Xifeng Pass is not big, and the nearly 10 people who built slaves could not all enter Xifeng Pass, so there are still some people outside the pass.

But no matter what, Gou Tu knew that in the past, he could take the opportunity to block Jiannu and wait for Li Xin's arrival. Now even if Li Xin arrived at Xifengkou, he would probably face the first pass of Xifengkou first.It made him feel like he had done something wrong.

"Brothers, this is probably the last time we will fight side by side. Are you afraid?" Ju Tu's lips trembled, and he cupped his hands and said, "I am ordered by my lord to guard the entrance of Xifeng. Although we are small in number, as long as we guard the first There is still a glimmer of life in the first pass, but I am suddenly incompetent and gave up the first pass, the lord has been killed to the next pass at this time, but I have to face the first dangerous pass, I am afraid I cannot support us."

"General, why don't we give up Xifengkou?" A soldier cupped his hands and said, "We are not afraid of death, it's just that the lord always taught us to save people and land, and lose people and land. We are here, so we have a chance to take back Xifengkou. We're dead and we're nothing."

After Goutu heard this, a trace of thought appeared on his face. Li Xin had said this in front of him more than once, and his heart moved, but he shook his head and said: "You guys go! I will be guarded by the lord's order. Xifengkou, without my lord's order, I can't leave Xifengkou." Jutu is a real person, although he has a lot of extravagant thoughts, but he is extremely loyal to Li Xin.

"Since the general is here, we are also here." The soldiers said loudly after hearing this.Soldiers pay attention to loyalty, and most of these soldiers are good at shooting. Although they were incorporated into Li Xin's imperial guards, Jutu was his master.Since Jutu wanted to swear to the death to guard Xifengkou, how could these people shrink back!

"Okay, okay, you are indeed my brother of Jutu." With tears in his eyes, Jutu looked at the people in front of him. There were Han people, Mongolians and people from other tribes. Under Li Xin's forced order, became a tribe.At this moment, it shows the advantages of the same tribe.

"It's not unreasonable for Li Xin to achieve such a great reputation in just a few years, and there are still many warriors around him." Huang Taiji, who was preparing to order the army to attack under the city, looked at everything above the city, lightly Sighing lightly, a trace of envy appeared on his face.

"People like this are our biggest enemy." Fan Wencheng also nodded secretly. At this moment, he doesn't have the slightest nervousness on his face. Li Xin blocked the door, no matter how powerful Li Xin was, he still couldn't break through Xifeng's entrance.But the Jiannu army can easily capture everything in front of them.

"It was unexpected to be able to catch Li Xin's flaw this time. I'm afraid I won't have such a good opportunity next time." Huang Taiji knew very well that he was able to do this because of Li Xin's carelessness.With this lesson learned, it will not be so easy to defeat Li Xin next time.
