Great Han Empire

Chapter 298
On the bluestone bank, the sound of killing shook the sky.

The 4000-man phalanx led by Wen Chou and Chen Hao was the first to be broken by the Xianbei cavalry.These soldiers used to be the Yellow Turban Army on Montenegro. Without formal training, they were very unfamiliar with the use of giant shields and giant spears, let alone understanding and rational use of the formation.The soldiers fought to the death with their bravery and hatred for the Hu people. After a period of tenacious resistance, they were finally broken through by the Xianbei cavalry because of excessive damage.

The Xianbei people rushed in, trampled on their horses, and shot wantonly.

Wen Chou led the remaining soldiers to retreat to the left of the rear phalanx, while Chen Hao led his men to the right, fighting and leaving.

This is Chen Hao's first time on the battlefield, his first time participating in a big war, his first time commanding an army, and his first time killing people. Hundreds of cavalry rushed towards him.

He was angry, he was irritated by the blood and corpses of his comrades-in-arms, he lost himself in the screams, shouts, drums and horns that filled his ears, he fell into madness, lost his mind, he waved his battle With the axe, rushing left and right, unstoppable, he chopped down seven horses and killed fourteen enemies in one breath while roaring.Drenched in blood, he held up the enemy's head, raised his ax and yelled, "Brothers, kill... ah..."

Pu Yun, the small leader of the Xiongnu Tu ethnic groups who was in charge of commanding the charge, saw that the Han army officers were brave and invincible, leading a group of troops and vowed not to retreat, while the rest of the Han soldiers were retreating rapidly under their cover. He couldn't bear it anymore. Holding the resentment in his chest, he brought his personal guards like a whirlwind.

"Kill the horse... kill the horse first..."

Chen Hao was not afraid in the face of danger, holding an ax in one hand and a spear in the other, shouting hoarsely, shouting, and galloped up against the rain of arrows all over the sky.Inspired by Chen Hao's bravery, the soldiers all followed closely behind, bravely taking the lead, and clamoring for battle.

"Kill..." Chen Hao soared into the air, the spear in his left hand was like a screaming dragon, and plunged into the belly of Pu Yun's war horse. It flew up, and the brains and blood scattered in all directions.

Pu Yun's war horse neighed and screamed, his huge body flew several feet in the air, and fell to the ground with a "boom...".Pu Yun scrambled to his feet, dancing wildly with the saber in his hand, beheading three people in a row.Chen Hao raised his battle ax high, staring at his blood-red eyes like a roaring beast, chasing him and killing him.

Pu Yun gritted his teeth, raised his knife and chopped.Chen Hao roared all the way, facing the roaring saber, he ignored it and swung his ax to strike.Pu Yun saw that the other party was not dodging or evading, and that he was about to die together, the saber in his hand couldn't help but froze for a moment, at this moment, Chen Hao roared again, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shocked Pu Yun .

"Kill..." Chen Hao's big ax struck down with the momentum of thunder, and immediately split Pu Yun and the saber in his hand into two, blood spattered.

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly..."

===

Jiang Wu stood in front of the phalanx, watching Chen Hao dragging his bloody battle ax and disappearing on the side of the phalanx, and shouted loudly: "Good man!"

He suddenly turned his head, raised his hand and shouted: "Salvo... Strong archers shoot densely..."

In an instant, all arrows were fired.

===

Almost at the same time, Wo Shaquan led his iron cavalry into the phalanx led by Xin Zeng.Soldiers on both sides immediately started a fierce fight.

"Brothers, kill the barbarians, kill them..."

Before Xin Zeng could cry out, he saw a fleshy spear point suddenly rushing out of his chest. The muscles on his face twitched violently, cursed bitterly, and fell to the ground.

Wo Shaquan drew back his spear, and before he could swing it again, the horse under him was chopped off by four legs by the furious Han soldiers, and fell to the ground with a bang.The Xianbei people rushed forward to rescue their hero; the Han soldiers rushed forward, vowing to kill him for revenge.The two sides immediately fought blood and flesh in a small square inch, endlessly.

The Xianbei soldiers grabbed Woshaquan's armor and dragged it back desperately; the Han soldiers grabbed Woshaquan's left leg and pulled it forward as hard as possible.Seeing that Woshaquan was about to be rescued, a soldier of the Han army jumped up in desperation and chopped off Woshaquan's leg.The four spears pierced through the soldier's chest and abdomen in an instant, nailing him firmly to the ground.

Before the Xianbei soldiers could drag Woshaquan out, the Han soldiers grabbed Woshaquan's other foot.At this time, the Han soldiers didn't hesitate any longer, and everyone came down with swords and guns, and they just cut off the leg of Woshaquan.

The Xianbei people were very tenacious, and after repeated killings, they dragged Woshaquan two steps away again.The soldiers of the Han army saw that there were fewer and fewer people, and now even if they gave up slaughtering Woshaquan, everyone would not be able to escape.

"Brothers, fight, fight..."

"One life for another, kill him, kill him..."

The soldiers of the Han army suddenly went crazy, and no matter how life or death they were, they all risked their lives and moved forward bravely.The Han army fell three and chopped off Woshaquan's waist; five more fell and chopped off Woshaquan's left hand; five more fell and finally chopped off Woshaquan's head.

The last Han soldier grabbed the head of Woshaquan, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill..."

===

The two phalanxes in the front row of the Han army were all broken by the Xianbei, and Jiang Wu and Zhang Xiao commanded the two phalanxes in the middle to start a new round of blocking.

The ballistas on the flanking hills of the phalanx aimed at the shock cavalry of the Xianbei, and started a second round of frenzied salvo.

===

Xian Yufu took his eyes back from the battlefield, looked up at the sky, and raised his right hand.

"ignition!"

The soldiers who had been waiting for the fire for a long time cheered and threw the torches in their hands onto the wood pile.In a blink of an eye, the fire burned violently.

Three pillars of black smoke rose into the sky, and against the backdrop of the blue sky, they looked particularly shocking and eye-catching.

=====================

Looking at the fire burning behind the Han army and the plumes of smoke all over the sky, He Lian was both surprised and puzzled.

"Could it be that the leopard is behind the Qingshi Mountain?"

Mu Gaiting hesitated for a moment, then said: "This is the beacon fire of the Han people asking for help. On the Great Wall Fortress, they use this method to deliver news."

He Lian glanced at him, thinking what nonsense you are talking about, everyone knows this, and you need to explain?
"Your Majesty is right, the leopard army must be not far ahead." Mu Gaiting pointed to Qingshi Mountain and said, "The leopard wants to use these Han troops to consume our troops first, and then use the cavalry to charge and kill us."

"The leopard thought he could beat me and slow down our speed going south." He even pointed to Jingshui River and Qingshi Mountain, and sneered, "The terrain is pretty good, but it's a pity that he underestimated us."

Mu Gaiting nodded in agreement, "Currently we have few people. If the leopard's tens of thousands of cavalry come together, we will inevitably suffer some losses. In my opinion, we should take a step back to temporarily avoid his attack."

"No." He Lian said with a smile, "The terrain here is narrow, and it's not easy to deploy a cavalry army. Leopard only wants to use the favorable terrain here to strengthen the infantry's blocking ability, but forgets that this place is not suitable for cavalry to charge. Hmph, I want to call him Reap the consequences." He Lian pointed to the battlefield ahead and said, "If we storm the Han army's phalanx and get entangled with the Han infantry, the leopard cavalry will not be able to kill them. "

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to drag the leopard to Qingshi Mountain?" Mu Gaiting hesitated, and asked with a frown, "Your Majesty, the army deduced by Law Ri has not yet reached Boluogu, if he is late, our loss will be too great." big."

"I immediately ordered the army of Luri Yanyan and Tuobafeng to hurry up." He Lian said, "This opportunity is great, we must drag the leopards here. As soon as our army arrives, the leopards will withdraw, and then ..."

"Then we followed up and chased the leopard all the way to Chang'an." Mu Gaiting said worriedly, "My lord, this method is good, but..."

"It's not about chasing Chang'an, but about chasing the leopard, encircling and killing him along the Jingshui River." He Lian interrupted Mu Gaiting bluntly, and said confidently, "King Jiuyuan, don't be careful. The Riri deduction will be here soon. This time I will definitely catch the leopard and beat him to ashes to vent my hatred."

He Lian immediately sent someone to urge Lüri Deduction to immediately lead the army south to surround and kill Li Hong, and at the same time ordered Mu Gaiting to personally lead the army to attack the Han phalanx.Tens of thousands of troops squeezed into the narrow attack surface and launched round after round of fierce attacks on the Han army's phalanx.

===

Seeing all the Xianbei people attacking, Xian Yufu said to Zuo Yan in disbelief: "Is He Lian crazy? Doesn't he have a brain?"

"Your Excellency, you are too worried. After the Xianbei people launched a mad attack, although they got entangled with our soldiers, it would be troublesome to fight later, but there is one advantage." Zuo Yan said with a smile, "Once the Xianbei people are surrounded, they will not be able to move quickly." Break away from our fight. In this case, they don't have time to form a defensive formation, and even escape is a problem. In this way, the army of the Xianbei is bound to collapse faster, and we can reduce the number of enemies time and loss."

Xian Yufu forced a smile, pointed at the fierce battlefield and said, "It's just that our losses are too great right now."

"If we can capture and kill Helian, this loss is still worth it." Zuo Yan sighed.

===

Li Wei was both excited and a little uneasy when he thought of the upcoming battle.

Li Hong repeatedly asked him, Song Wen, and Xie Ming to follow Tongzi's rear army, but none of them were willing.Song Wen and Xie Ming said that they know martial arts, and it is not a problem to deal with ordinary soldiers. Li Wei put it more bluntly. He said that most of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were refugees. They didn't even have enough food in the past. , Why can't I be strong and strong? Is it true that I am powerless?
"A man of eight feet should serve the country and fight bloody battles. Even if he throws his head, sprinkles blood, and smashes his body to pieces, he will not hesitate."

Li Hong was moved by Li Wei's arrogance, so he had no choice but to take them with him, and told Hu Ding and Qi Shen to protect them carefully.

"Zhong Yuan..." Li Hong turned to look at him, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?"

Li Wei smiled nervously, but did not speak.

"The first time I fought a war was in a place called Mazuipo in Xianbei Kingdom." Li Hong said, "I was very nervous at that time, and the atmosphere of the impending war was suffocating, and I gasped heavily. "

"Are you following Murong Feng?" Li Wei asked.

"Yes, follow behind the commander in chief." Li Hong said about Murong Feng, his heart darkened, and a sense of sadness suddenly came to his heart.When can we see the handsome again?

"He is the most terrifying enemy of our Han Kingdom." Li Wei said loudly, "One day, we will fight him in a bloody battle in the desert."

Li Hong trembled in his heart, and was speechless for a while.

"My lord, it is rarer than my lord's signal..." Pang De suddenly yelled.

Li Hong looked up suddenly.In the sky in the distance, three pillars of black smoke are floating in the wind, clearly visible.

"Blow the trumpet and order the ministries to advance rapidly..."

=====================

He Lian closed his eyes, sat on the horse relaxed and freehand, basking in the sun lazily.If it weren't for the loud fighting noise on the battlefield and the strong smell of blood in the air, he might have fallen asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, he felt that his war horse became restless.

He Lian slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the battlefield.Did the leopard come with an army of cavalry?

The Xianbei soldiers scattered around the river embankment also noticed the abnormality of the horses. They habitually lay down on the ground and listened carefully.Several soldiers with keen hearing stood up first and rushed towards Helian.

"My lord, our reinforcements are here."

"My lord, there is an army of cavalry coming from the direction of Boluogu."

"Your Majesty, it must be Luri who played the role of commander in chief."

He Lian was overjoyed, he looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "This old cow has finally caught up early."

"Blow the trumpet and tell the brothers that our reinforcements are coming and we are going to defeat the Han people."

===

The horns of the Xianbei resounded through Qingshi Mountain.

Xian Yufu couldn't help laughing.

"Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat the victory drum, and tell the Xianbei people that they are finished."

===

The ground is shaking.

The roar is getting louder and more violent, earth-shattering and majestic. Even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can still feel its indestructible power.

He Lian rode his horse and whipped his whip, shouted wildly with the soldiers, and was very excited.

===

A large flag suddenly jumped out from the sky.

Then countless iron knight soldiers poured out from the horizon.

The iron cavalry army rushed out like a torrent of thunder, and its huge roar sounded like a stormy sea, cracking rocks and piercing clouds, inspiring people's hearts and lungs.

===

The shouts of the Xianbei people became smaller and weaker, and gradually, the entire Jingshui River suddenly disappeared.

The Xianbei people became more and more panicked and fearful, and gradually began to retreat.

The horn of the Xianbei people suddenly disappeared.

He Lian's complexion became more and more ugly, his eyes widened, as if he saw a devil, he lost his soul in an instant.

Mu Gaiting, who was fighting in the phalanx, turned his head suddenly, his expression turned pale immediately, as if he had been hit hard, he no longer paid attention to the weapons flying around him, the bloody fight, he turned around slowly, and stared at Yi Jianghe in a daze. The eyes of the army rushing towards the embankment were full of despair and helplessness.

===

He Lianxin was ashamed.He understood everything, everything was right to him.The leopard lured him into a trap and gave him a fatal blow.He only wants to know one thing now, he just wants to know where the leopard hides the cavalry army behind him.He lost for no reason.

The Xianbei people's horn sounded suddenly, panic and terror.

"Jie formation...Jie formation..." He Lian screamed hoarsely, calling again and again, the cry was mixed with his anger, his fear, his helplessness, the cry was shrill and tragic, which made people feel sad. shudder.

===

The Xianbei soldiers crowded in front of the phalanx, at a loss. They didn't know why a Han cavalry army suddenly appeared behind them?

They are still fighting, they are still galloping, and they are still attacking. It is impossible for them to withdraw from the battlefield, and it is impossible for them to turn their horses around and regroup.They just attack, attack.Only by attacking can they break through the phalanx of the Han people, and only by breaking through the phalanx of the Han people can they escape from nature.

===

Hundreds of war drums beat at the same time, and the thunderous sound of the drums rushed straight to Xiaohan.

The soldiers of the Han army suddenly let out a sky-shattering cheer, and their huge cry shook Qingshi Mountain.

"Kill...kill the Xianbei people..."

Yan Liang raised his saber high, took the lead, and took the lead to kill the phalanx. Wen Chou, Jiang Wu, and Chen Hao each raised their weapons, followed by [-] Han soldiers with high morale, roaring like a tide, and swept towards the Xianbei people.

"kill……"

===

"Hoo Hoo... Hoo Hoo... Hoo Hoo..."

The [-] cavalry of the Han army roared like thunder, and no one dared to stand against them!

The Xianbei army collapsed in an instant.The soldiers were gutted one by one, and they fled in all directions.They either fell into the Jingshui River, or fled to the Qingshi Mountain, or were trampled on by the cavalry, or abandoned their weapons and surrendered, without the will to resist.

===

He Lian was desperately protected by the guards of Danhan Mountain, and fled to Qingshi Mountain in a panic.

The handsome and handsome Polu led thousands of soldiers to stop the attack, but was immediately killed by Fengyun Iron Cavalry and Changshuiying, leaving all the dead and injured.Polu led a group of soldiers to break out of the siege and abandoned his horse on the mountain.He Feng led the Changshui battalion soldiers in hot pursuit, and chased for ten miles, and he had to cut off the head of the polu before retreating back to the camp.

Under the guard of a team of attendants, Mu Gaiting broke through numerous obstacles, and finally broke a bloody path.They thought they could escape with a life, but they ran to the wrong place and were shot to death by a burst of crossbow arrows at the foot of the mountain.
