Great Han Empire

Chapter 240 The situation changes suddenly
Yan Rou's 5000 people were like a raging flood, making a huge and thrilling roar along the way, pouring down with a force of destruction.

"Boom..." There was an earth-shattering loud noise on the battlefield, and then the collision of the soldiers on both sides, and the hoarse shouts, went straight to the sky, and the entire battlefield was shaken by this fierce collision.

"Kill..." Yan Rou, Hu Zi, and Fan Li each led their troops, and bravely killed them with unprecedented fearlessness.

Although the soldiers on both sides were sweating profusely and out of breath, they seemed to be life and death enemies hundreds of years ago, and they chopped off when they met.Everyone took their weapons and fought on their own. There was no formation or command, they just roared and stalked and fought.The battle was cruel and fierce, and the soldiers on both sides slaughtered to their heart's content.It didn't take long, and thousands of corpses had already been laid down on the battlefield with a radius of about [-] paces.Seeing that her side suffered heavy losses, Yan Rou immediately ordered to beat the drums for help.

Under the command of June Jinglei, Baimaqiang's iron cavalry launched a strong attack on Hengji's cavalry.As long as we break through the resistance of the Kuntou barbarians and gather reinforcements from Wudu, the encirclement can be broken and everyone can leave calmly.At this moment of life and death, the attack of the Qiang people was bloody and crazy.

Li Hong and Zhao Yun each brought a cavalry battalion to their fists, attacking June Jinglei's Chinese army tenaciously and fiercely with sharp iron cones like tenons.

Kuang Fengsha commanded the Qiang soldiers to try their best to get closer to June Jinglei, while desperately resisting the joint attack of the Han army's infantry and knights.The Qiang soldiers fell into the sea of ​​people. They felt that there were Han people and Hu people with black heads everywhere around them.

The Qiang soldiers faced the Weishui River in the north, the raging battlefield in the south, the tall Yicheng city wall behind them, and the roaring enemies on the opposite side. They were trapped in a square inch and had nowhere to escape.The Qiang people knew that there was no hope of escape, and the trapped beasts were still fighting, which aroused their ferocity even more.

"Kill...kill..." They were like beasts with eyes red from hunger, baring their teeth and claws to fight back.

Xian Yufu looked stern and concentrated, looking at the battlefield very nervously.

He looked at the sun in the west, and suddenly found that the red sun suddenly disappeared behind the towering tower.Xian Yufu's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Nie Xiao.His army was caught between the kingdom and Han Sui's army, what happened now?
"Order Xu Rong, Xian Yuyin, to fully support Heng Ji and Yan Rou. Now the Qiang people have been trapped by us, and they can't escape."

The kingdom was terrified at the news that June Thunder was surrounded.

"What? What shall we do?"

"It's all Wudu's fault. He was so focused on retreating that he couldn't gather the troops to rush over to support him. From here to the east gate, it's only four or five miles away, and it took him two hours to get there." Huang Yan He cursed angrily: "He wants to kill us here."

"If Fu Xie hadn't rushed out suddenly and beat us, Wudu would have passed by long ago. He can't be blamed for that. What should we do now?"

"Now the Qiang people are besieged and the situation is critical. We will provide immediate support."

"Are we going to support June Thunder?" Ma Teng asked hesitantly.

"Leopard's [-] troops are all concentrated in the east gate battlefield. What's the use of us rushing there at this time? It's just a loss for both sides, and we can't defeat him at all," Wang Guo said.

"It's useful." Huang Yan said loudly, "At this time, the soldiers of Leopard's army are exhausted due to repeated battles, and their combat effectiveness has dropped sharply. We can definitely rush to rescue June Jinglei and take care of Wudu by the way. Go now, the time is right Suitable."

"Han Sui has already retreated for two miles, shall we retreat too?" Wang Guo said, "Once Nie Xiao turns around and attacks us, we will be in big trouble. Leopards are very powerful, and we cannot rescue June Jinglei."

Huang Yan said with a wry smile: "Han Sui is retreating steadily now, not fast. He can't beat Nie Xiao, and Nie Xiao can't eat him, and the two have been in a stalemate. But it is precisely because of this that Nie Xiao was held back by him. Now Nie Xiao is reluctant to give up Han Sui, he can't turn around to attack us, or go to support the leopards. Therefore, we have no worries when we rush to the east gate at this time."

"When we reach the east gate, although we have to fight the leopards, we can save June Jinglei and beat the wounded leopard to the brink of death. If the leopard's army suffers heavy losses, he won't be able to pursue us, and we will safely retreat to Longxi It's also a good thing."

The kingdom hesitated.

"It's getting dark." Ma Teng urged, looking at the gradually setting sun.

Wang Guo shook his head, looked at Huang Yan and asked, "Are you sure the leopard is powerless to fight back?"

Huang Yan smiled wryly and nodded, "Hurry up."

Wang Guo sighed: "This is the end of the matter, I will listen to you and do your best. I hope that the leopard has already been beaten by Jinglei in June, so let us pick a cheap one."

"Order all the ministries to go east immediately to support the Qiang people."

Hu Zi brandished his saber, slashing left and right, and one enemy soldier after another lay down at his feet.He fought more and more bravely, roaring again and again, his bushy beard was covered with the enemy's blood, and even gave off a trace of heat.The soldiers followed him without fear, fighting fiercely all the way, advancing one after another.

Beard opened his mouth wide and breathed violently and quickly. He couldn't remember how many enemies he had killed, but he felt that his physical strength was declining, and the wound on his body was becoming more and more painful. The bloody saber was even tighter with both hands. He wanted to take a rest, but there were countless enemies on the opposite side. They howled, rushed up aggressively, and rushed up fiercely, so that his sword could not be idle, and he was too busy to raise his head. nothing.

Beard fell down.He was so tired that he was kicked by the enemy lightly.The surrounding enemies swarmed up, and in an instant, swords and spears fell like raindrops.Hu Zi lay on the ground, staring dumbfoundedly, he wanted to hide, but he was powerless, he could only watch dozens of weapons whizzing down from the sky.

Suddenly, a soldier jumped up and jumped on Huzi without thinking about his own safety.Blood splattered, the sound of bones shattering, the sound of blades piercing flesh could be heard endlessly, and the shrill scream pierced into the bottom of Beard's heart like a knife.Beard felt himself explode, and he opened his mouth to hiss in despair.

The soldiers of the Han army thought that the main general had been killed, and suddenly there was a roar that shook the sky. Everyone rushed forward, raising their swords and guns, and the arrows flew horizontally. The scene was extremely bloody and tragic. One of Beard's guards still ran for several steps even though the spear passed through his body, and chopped off the enemy's head with one knife.Unable to resist, the rebel soldiers retreated in a panic. Several soldiers who were running slowly were immediately surrounded, and for a while, severed limbs flew around, which was horrible.

Hu Zi gently laid the soldier's body flat on the ground, saluted respectfully, then picked up his saber and stood up.

He saw countless soldiers scrambling past him, shouting loudly and killing the enemy group. He saw a familiar battle flag, which was Xu Rong's battle flag.

"Kill..." Huzi suddenly raised his knife and roared, and ran away.

at this time.Xu Rong has led the army to rush to the battlefield quickly, and slammed the flank of Wudu.At the same time, Xianyu Yin's troops joined Hengji's cavalry battalion. They lined up behind the cavalry battalion, supported the cavalry with dense long arrows, and blocked Baima Qiang's breakthrough.

The morale of the Han army was like a rainbow, advancing every step of the way, killing the rebels terrified and retreating again and again.Wudu's army couldn't support it, and some soldiers began to turn around and run away.

Wudu was so angry that he drove his horse back and forth after the battle, and killed several soldiers who had fled back.He ordered his guards to stand behind the army with sabers, and to kill anyone who escaped.

At this time, he saw Jiang Wu running over suddenly with a dozen soldiers.

"What's the matter? Jiang Junhou won't take the lead in running away, right?" Wu Du angrily greeted him and shouted loudly.

Jiang Wu glanced at him coldly, and asked loudly, "June Jinglei is the leader of Baima Qiang, why should we save him?"

Wu Du shouted loudly: "You are a small military marshal, you have no right to intervene in military affairs. You immediately lead the soldiers to kill me."

Jiang Wu stood where he was, without moving. He raised his saber, pointed at Wudu, and asked with a murderous look: "My officer asks again, why are we saving the Qiang people? Why are we saving June Jinglei?" He suddenly roared loudly, "Tell me, why?"

Wudu was almost mad.He has been an official for decades, and he has never met such a rude person.His face was flushed, his eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to swallow Jiang Wu in one gulp, he pointed to the battlefield in front of him, and shouted hysterically: "Get out, get out to the front immediately, otherwise, I'll kill you. "

Jiang Wu raised her eyebrows with murderous aura, and roared loudly: "Kill Wudu."

Wu Du laughed angrily, pointed to his nose and asked, "Are you going to kill me?" His face suddenly darkened, and he raised his knife to chop it up, "I'll kill you first."

The saber whizzed down, and Jiang Wu roared, trying to block it.Wu Du only felt a huge pain in the tiger's mouth, and the saber flew into the air.Jiang Wu went one step further, knocking Wu Du off the horse with one punch, then grabbed his hair and lifted him up in the air.

Wudu's guards turned pale with fright, and just as they were about to come to rescue him, they saw Jiang Wu's saber had already reached Wudu's neck and sawed it up, blood was overflowing.Wudu was in pain and fear, his expression pale, and he begged for mercy loudly.

"Wudu colluded with the Qiang people to harm Xiliang, and the crime was heinous, who would dare to rescue him?" Jiang Wu shouted wildly.

Wudu's personal guards didn't know what Jiang Wu was going to do, they stared dumbfounded, at a loss what to do.Jiang Wu's subordinates took the opportunity to raise their short crossbows, aiming at the guards standing around and frantically shooting.In a blink of an eye, the slaughter was gone.

Jiang Wu chopped off Wudu's head with a single knife, jumped on the horse, and shouted to his subordinates: "Mingjin withdraws troops. Order all the ministries to withdraw, immediately."

Li Hong and Zhao Yun led the Black Panther Yicong tore through the defense of the Baima Qiang's central army, took the opportunity to lead an elite assault cavalry like a sharp long sword, roared in, and went straight to the center. Army flag.The Qiang people tried their best to intercept and resist, Fengyun's cavalry seemed to have hit a wall, unable to move an inch, and the Kuntou cavalry suffered heavy casualties.Fist was the first to break through the resistance of the Qiang people and entered the center of the Qiang people's army.He saw the big flag.

The Qiang people's counterattack was too fierce.As soon as the fist cut off a human head, his left arm was chopped off by the Qiang axe, and the horse he was sitting on was pierced by several spears, and he barely jumped and fell to the ground.The fist was so strong that he hacked an enemy to death just before his body fell to the ground.

A group of soldiers following the fist rushed forward, and they wanted to save their superior.

Lying on the ground with his fists, screaming in pain, he roared with all his strength, intending to relieve the pain on his body.He saw his severed arm being trampled and crushed by dozens of horse legs, he saw soldiers rushing up to protect him being shot and killed by long arrows, and he saw the enemy's banner moving a dozen steps away from him.The central army of the Qiang people is still advancing tenaciously to the west.

The fist jumped up and raised the knife to fight again.Seeing that the fist was still alive and still fighting, the bald cavalry suddenly burst into cheers.Fist rushed all the way under the cover of the guards.In just seven strides, he killed three enemies and felled two steeds.He was getting closer to the big flag of the Qiang people, and he could even see the blood stains on the thick flagpole.

Then a spear pierced his body.With a roar of his fist, he cut off the handle of the spear with a single blow, ran two steps, and hacked to death the Qiang soldier holding half of the handle of the spear.Then he jumped on the enemy's horse, turned the horse's head, and stabbed the horse's butt with his backhand.The war horse suddenly suffered from pain, and flew into the air in the direction of the big flag.The Qiang people saw his plan, and a dozen long arrows howled, piercing his body in an instant, nailing him firmly to the horse.Clasping the horse's neck with his fist, he died long ago.

"Boom..." With a loud noise, the big banner of the Qiang people fell down.

The Qiang people were in chaos.

Wudu's army suddenly retreated.

Xu Rong's and Yan Rou's infantry were exhausted from fighting one by one. When they saw the enemy swarming and fleeing, they immediately collapsed to the ground, powerless to pursue.

At this time, Xu Rong saw Jiang Wu holding a big Han battle flag in one hand and a bloody human head in the other, galloping across the battlefield full of corpses and galloping towards him alone.

He immediately brought a group of personal guards to meet him.

Jiang Wu stood on the horse twenty steps away, raised the flag and shouted, "I am Jiang Wu."

Xu Rong knew him.In Zixiu Mountain Camp, he and Qu Yi were in charge of training recruits. He was very impressed with this handsome military candidate in his 20s.

Xu Rong ordered his subordinates to put down the bows and arrows in their hands, and waved the flag to signal Jiang Wu to come and speak.

"I killed Wudu."

Xu Rong stretched out his hand to pick up Jiang Wu, and said with a smile, "It's good that you come back."

"Everyone is willing to continue to follow Lord Li." Jiang Wu said excitedly, "The army is gathering and can go to the battlefield at any time to kill Qianghu."

June Jinglei frowned, looking at the battlefield in front of him, disheartened, it was hard for him to believe that he would fail.

Wudu's battle flag is no longer visible, and there is no sound on the battlefield over there. It is estimated that the reinforcements have been wiped out by the leopard's army.Now, Kuangfengsha and some Qiang soldiers were surrounded by the Han army near the city gate, and they themselves were surrounded on the left flank of the battlefield. The army that broke through the encirclement was completely defeated. Although the fighting in the three places is still going on, there is no hope of breaking through the encirclement. There is only one dead end. up.

He saw a young Han army officer holding a long gun and leading a group of Kuntou Xianbei to kill them all the way, as if entering no one's land.That man was handsome, with elegant marksmanship, and he was unstoppable on the battlefield.June Jinglei stared at him intently, as if he saw his youthful figure.

Suddenly, he let out a long roar, puffed up his arrogance, and shouted wildly: "Brothers, let's fight out..."

Zhao Yun's spear flew flying, killing the Qiang soldiers, and no one could stop his sharpness.He entered the most powerful cavalry team of Baima Qiang, which was June Jinglei's personal guard cavalry.The two sides risked their lives to fight each other, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.June Jinglei slashed Zhao Yun three times, but Zhao Yun easily took over all of them.He was a little regretful, he didn't expect Zhao Yun to be so powerful, he wanted to retreat and let his personal guards finish him off.Just when he was hesitating, Zhao Yun suddenly yelled violently, and the spear in his hand flew through the air like lightning, piercing straight into his throat.

June Thunder died.

The Baima Qiang soldiers lost their leader, the morale of the army was in turmoil, and the whole army immediately fell into collapse.Soon, Kuang Fengsha was captured alive by Qu Yi's men, and the Qiang people surrendered one after another.

Dusk is coming quietly, and the night is about to open.

Before Ma Teng arrived at the battlefield, he got the news that Wudu was dead and June's thunderous banner had fallen.Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the army to turn their horses around and retreat quickly.

Wang Guo and Huang Yan saw Ma Teng returning with the cavalry in a hurry, knowing that the situation was over, they turned around and ran away without even asking.

Nie Xiao has been chasing and beating Han Sui closely.At dusk, he received an order from Li Hong.Li Hong asked him to give up the pursuit and return to Yicheng immediately.
