Great Han Empire

Chapter 300
The sunset is like blood.

The battle at Qingshi'an was drawing to a close, and there were only sporadic fights left on the battlefield.

Li Hong Zhuma stood on the embankment of the Jingshui River, looking anxious.

"My lord, we didn't find Helian, and we probably have fled into Qingshi Mountain." He Feng came on horseback, holding a bloody head in his hand, "This is the handsome Polu from Danhan Mountain. Keep turning around to block the attack, slowing down our pursuit speed."

"Don't worry about He Lian, immediately gather people and rush to Boluo Valley." Li Hong waved his hands and said, "Beat the drums, blow the horn, hurry, hurry..."

The iron knight soldiers who were running back and forth on the battlefield heard the sound of the horn, turned their horses around, and galloped towards the bank of the Jingshui River.

Xian Yufu and Yan Liang came like flying horses.

"grown ups……"

"How many people can continue to fight?" Li Hong stretched out his hand to interrupt Xian Yufu's words, and asked loudly.

Xian Yufu thought for a while and said, "At most 5000 people."

"Let the old man take 5000 men to guard the prisoners, and the rest of the soldiers who can fight immediately ride on the horses of the Xianbei people and go to Boluo Valley with the army."

"My lord, the training time for these soldiers is short, and many of them don't know how to ride a horse." Yan Liang hurriedly said, "My lord, my brothers have been marching for nearly 20 days in a row, and they just experienced a big battle..."

"Don't talk about it." Li Hong shouted coldly, "If you don't know how to ride a horse, tie it with a rope."

Seeing Li Hong's stern expression, Xian Yufu and Yan Liang didn't dare to say anything, so they hurriedly bowed and left.

"Lingming, summon the Black Panthers, let's go first..."

Li Hong kicked the horse's belly fiercely, raised his spear high, and galloped the horse, "Brothers, go to Boluo Valley, follow me to Boluo Valley to kill the enemy..."

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

The Xianbei launched three consecutive attacks, but they were driven out of the horse-rejection formation three times, losing more than 3000 people.The Xianbei were enraged. They gathered 6000 people and launched a violent attack from the left, middle and right directions at the same time.

After the Han army won three battles in a row, they rejoiced. Their confidence in the rejection of horses increased so much that they did not increase their troops to strengthen their defense.Yan Rou arranged for [-] soldiers in the Juma formation, but because it was the first time for everyone to meet the enemy in the Juma formation, they had no experience and no tacit cooperation. Like the Xianbei people, they were a little confused and often went their own way. Fighting together, the result is one thousand wounds and eight hundred self-damages, and it doesn't take much advantage.

After the Xianbei people rushed in like a tide, the soldiers of the Han army lost their superiority in numbers, and their defense was even more stretched.The superiority of the Xianbei people helped them win quickly. The Han army suffered heavy casualties and retreated steadily, and the drums for help were fierce.

===

Lei Zhong and a few soldiers relied on a small horse-repelling formation, rushed from left to right, killing several people in a row, but were immediately surrounded by more Xianbei people.The Xianbei people launched a fierce attack with spears, bows and arrows, and killed five of Lei Zhong's comrades one after another.Lei Chong knew he was going to die, but he had no restraint in his heart, and he killed more heartily and invincibly.After beheading two people in a row, he miraculously escaped from the encirclement.Xiaolan happened to bring people to the rescue, and the two sides immediately worked together to block the enemy's attack, and fought and left.

"Lei Zhong, you lead the people away first, quick, quick." Xiaolan blocked the enemy's saber with his left hand shield, and stabbed the enemy's chest with a spear in his right hand, "Hurry up, hurry up..." He followed up and kicked Flying over the enemy's corpse, he rushed up to meet the three Xianbei soldiers.

Lei Zhongli ignored Xiaolan's shout, roared, chased after Xiaolan and killed him, "Let's go together!"

Xiaolao is like a mad buffalo, roaring, ramming and flying the head-on enemy, and at the same time, the spear in his hand is as nimble as a poisonous snake, inserting it into the throat of the enemy killed from the side with incomparable speed inside.

"Let's go..."

As if he didn't hear it, Lei Zhong took three steps, roared three times, slashed three times, and slashed his head with one knife.

"My lord, let's go together."

More enemies rushed forward.

===

Yan Rou hesitated.

There are four huge phalanxes of 5000 people behind the Juma formation. If people are deployed from the phalanx to reinforce the Juma formation at this time, it is bound to disrupt the defensive formation of one of the phalanxes. If the Xianbei people take advantage of the situation and rush over, the consequences will be unpredictable .Yan Rou saw that it was getting late, and resolutely decided to give up the battle against horses.It was getting dark, even if the Xianbei wanted to attack, they would not be so desperate.

Just when the Han army sounded the golden gong to withdraw troops, the Xianbei people's horn to stop the attack suddenly rang through the mountains and fields.

===

Looking at the Xianbei people who were gradually receding into the distance, Xiaolan's mind was relaxed, his hands and feet were weak, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".

Lei Zhong stood on the ground with a knife, barely supporting his crumbling body, panting heavily, "My lord, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Xiaolan looked at the dark sky and grinned, "I told you to go, why didn't you go? You think I'm talking fart?"

"Hehe..." Lei Zhong laughed when he heard the words, "If I left, you would have died a long time ago."

"Hey..." Xiaolan shook her head embarrassingly, and got up from the ground.

"What? The Xianbei people retreated a hundred steps? What's going on?" Xiaolan looked forward carefully, and cried out, "Xianbei people still want to fight?"

"My lord, the people of Xianbei are probably hungry and want to eat." Lei Chong said with a smile, "My lord, when shall we have dinner?"

===

Lüri Deduction received a news that surprised him. The king and company were surrounded by the Han army on the bluestone bank sixty miles away from Boluo Valley.

"Who said it? Who sent the news?"

"It's the king's messenger." Mang Zhengji pointed to the soldier standing behind him and said, "That's him."

The orderly seemed to have crawled out of the water, his clothes were still wet, his leather armor was stained with blood, and the wound on his shoulder was still oozing blood.

Tuoba Han asked eagerly: "How did you come here? Why are you here now?"

"After the king led the army to Qingshi'an, he was stopped by the Han army, and then he ordered the villain to come back and urge the commander to go south quickly." He knelt down and replied, "The villain was blocked by the Han army scouts on the way back, so he had to feign death and jump." When we reached the river, I saw tens of thousands of cavalrymen of the Han army rushing south along the Jingshui River, they must have gone to the Qingshi Bank to attack the king."

"Tens of thousands of cavalry?" Lüri asked suspiciously, "How many people are there in the Han army who stopped the king at Qingshi'an?"

"Back to Commander, there are probably tens of thousands of people?"

"How many thousands of people are there?" Lu Ri asked sharply, "You made it clear."

"There are at least 2 people." The orderly shuddered and said loudly.

Lüri Deduction looked back at the Han army phalanx in Boluo Valley, then at Tuobahan and Mang Zhengji, and said in disbelief: "Leopards have reinforcements, our news is wrong, leopards have reinforcements, leopards There are reinforcements on hand." He suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly, "Send the order, stop the attack immediately, stop the attack!"

"If 6 people fight against 3 people, the king will definitely lose. We've been tricked, we've been tricked." Lüri Deduction muttered to himself with a horrified expression.

"The leopard's iron cavalry launched a sneak attack after the king, and its power is so great that you can imagine." Tuoba Han said in fear, "Marshal, there are only tens of thousands of Han troops in Boluo Valley now. We only need to break through their blocking. Then you can quickly go south and rescue the king. Commander..."

"No, we have too few people, too few people." Lü Ri deduced, "There are at least 3 Han troops in front of us. If we want to completely defeat them with 2 people, the price will be too high. After the army breaks through the blocking, we can continue There will not be more than 2 soldiers going south to fight. [-] people support the king, I am afraid that the strength is too weak, and the most important thing is..."

He looked at the two of them, and said worriedly: "Can the king last until that time? If his 3 horses have been wiped out by the time we rush over, wouldn't we be looking for our own death?"

"However, if we know the truth, we will return to the prairie in the future..." Tuoba Han looked at Lu Ri's deduction, and said with a wry smile, "None of us will survive, and sooner or later we will be cut off by other people for this reason."

"Commander, what Haoshuai said is right. If we don't send troops to rescue, we will be exterminated sooner or later when we go back. In my opinion, we would rather lose once than let the Storm Tribe become a treacherous clan that everyone scolds on the grassland." Mang Zhengji persuaded in a low voice, "Helian is the king of Xianbei after all, if he can be rescued, it will treat us..."

Li Ri Deyan squinted his eyes and looked at the twilight, speechless for a long time.

===

The sky gradually darkened, and the entrance of Boluo Valley fell into a deathly silence, only the occasional neighing of war horses echoed in the empty mountains.

Law Ri Deduction stood upright like a stake, staring at the night sky bewilderedly.Tuoba Han, Mang Zhengji and Bu Chuihong circled around him, anxious.

"It will be great if the King can hold on until tomorrow morning." Bu Chuihong looked at Tuoba Han and said softly.

"We don't know the specific terrain of the Qingshi Bank, so we can't speculate." Tuobahan sighed, "If it's on the plain, 3 people can fight against 6 people. Come on, then..."

"If the king forms an formation and sticks to it, he can defend until tomorrow." Xiao Ao said in a low voice, "The Huns' Tujia clan and the Danhan Mountain's masters are elites on the grasslands, and the leopards may not be able to eat them quickly. "

A fast horse came galloping, and the sound of the horse's hooves instantly shattered the dark tranquility.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." The knight on the horse kept waving his whip and shouted loudly.The Xianbei cavalry surrounded on the mountain dodged one after another, giving way to a path for them to gallop past.

"Commander, Master Tuoba Feng is leading an army here!" The knight hurriedly dismounted when he saw the deduction of the law, and said out of breath, "My lord said that the king's army will go deep alone, and he will definitely fall into the trap. Shuai leads his troops to follow up immediately, don't stay in Boluogu."

Seeing that it was Tuoba Feng's messenger, Law Ri deduced, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where is Lord Tuoba Feng now?"

"My lord is forty miles away from here, and I'm on my way through the night." The soldier said, "In the afternoon, my lord received news from the commander-in-chief that after knowing that the king had led his troops out of the Boluo Valley, he was very worried about the safety of the king, so he urged the army to speed up. The marching speed is estimated to arrive in the middle of the night."

Lüri was overjoyed and clapped his hands and shouted: "Good job, good job!" Without hesitation, he raised his hands and shouted, "Light the fire and attack overnight!"

======================
The long arrows howled in the dark night, the horses galloped in the flames, and the Xianbei people launched a more violent attack.

After resisting desperately for a while, the soldiers of the Han army retreated one after another.

"Run away..."

"Go...go...go..."

Braving the rain of arrows, hundreds of soldiers quickly retreated.

As soon as Lei Zhong turned around, he was shot in the thigh by a long arrow.Lei Chong cursed angrily, dragged his injured leg and managed to run a few steps, but finally fell to the ground due to exhaustion.

Xiaolan, who was running, suddenly found that Lei Zhong was missing beside him, and hurriedly looked back.

In the distance, Lei Zhong was crawling with both hands and feet, and was still cursing loudly.A dozen steps behind him, a group of Xianbei soldiers raised their weapons high and rushed up like wolves.

"Lei Zhong... Lei Zhong..." Xiaolan turned around and greeted him without hesitation, "Lei Zhong, hurry up, hurry up..."

"Kill..." Xiaolan opened his eyes angrily, and rose into the air. The spear in his hand pierced straight through the Xianbei soldier who was running in the front, and at the same time, he smashed the shield with his left hand fiercely at the other soldier who was holding a knife. enemy soldiers.The Xianbei people were overwhelmed by Xiaolan's toughness, and their footsteps suddenly slowed down.

It was late, but it was fast, Xiaolan grabbed Lei Zhong on the ground and carried it to his shoulder with a loud roar.

"Kill..." The little lazy tongue burst into spring thunder, shouted again, and the spear in his right hand whizzed up, instantly forcing back the charging enemy.

"Let me go..." Lei Zhong yelled wildly, and at the same time threw out the saber in his hand, piercing through an enemy who was stabbing with a spear.

"Go... let's go..." Xiaolan no longer cared about the enemies behind him, and ran wildly, "Go..."

More Xianbei people killed and came up.

The Han soldiers who came back to support roared and swarmed up. Immediately, their swords and guns came down, and there was a scuffle.

Holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, Zhang Yun led a dozen soldiers and killed them from the side like a group of bloody tigers.

"Kill the Xianbei, kill them..."

===

The iron cavalry of the Xianbei rushed past the horse-rejection formation, and rushed towards the Han army phalanx with a sweeping momentum.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

The sound of the horse hitting the giant shield was as earth-shattering as a stormy sea, and the night sky in Baoluogu trembled.

===

"Shoot... strong archers salvo..."

Hua Xiong chopped off the enemy's head with one knife, turned his head and shouted wildly: "Shoot all the long arrows for me, shoot them all..."

===

Bu Chuihong kicked the Han soldiers flying with the axe, facing the winding road with a knife.

Qu Lutou was cut off with a knife and killed with one move.

When the soldiers of the Han army saw Master Sima being killed, they were all extremely sad and indignant.

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

Countless torches flow upstream along the Jingshui River, like a huge fire dragon flying in the night sky.

The huge roar almost shook the night.

Li Hong was lying on the back of the black panther with his whole body, the whip in his hand was flying up and down, and he kept yelling loudly: "Quick...quick..."

The black panther soared into the air with all four hooves, and its huge body almost flew up close to the ground.It was panting heavily, foaming from its mouth from time to time, its physical strength had reached its limit.

"My lord, the black panther is dead, my lord..." Pointing at the white foam on the black panther's mouth, Pang De shouted with all his strength, "Change the horse, my lord, quickly change the horse..."

Li Hong whipped his whip as if he didn't hear it, "Hurry up, Black Panther, speed up... speed up..."

In desperation, Pound slashed at Li Hong.Out of the corner of Li Hong's eyes, he saw the flash of a knife behind him, and without thinking, he roared instinctively, his body soared into the air, and flew onto the back of the war horse next to the black panther.

"Pang Lingming..." Li Hong shouted back angrily in shock, "I'll kill you alive!"

===

Dahei was tied to the horse, his hands were tightly grasping the horse's mane, and his heart was terrified. He felt that his internal organs and six lungs were about to be knocked out.

He can't ride a horse, and he doesn't want to ride a horse to fight, he is afraid of falling to his death.It would be a big joke if he was not hacked to death by the Xianbei sword, but fell to death by the Xianbei horse, so he said to his team leader: "My lord, tell me where to fight, I will run."

The captain was so angry that he gave him a hand, then pushed and pulled him to get him on the horse's back, and then tied him and the horse together with a rope.

Dahei was so angry that he cursed.The team leader smiled and said: "Don't scold me, this is the order of Master Leopard, if you want to scold you, scold him."

When Dahei heard that it was Lord Leopard's order, he couldn't yell at him immediately.

"Tie me up tightly, don't fall halfway." Dahei shouted, "Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield. I can't die behind a horse's ass and lose the face of Lord Leopard."

Dahei and more than 3000 soldiers just bundled up on the horse and set off with the army.

===

Among the mountains, the torches are brightly lit, and the countless torches are as numerous and dense as the stars in the sky.

Tuoba Feng was stationed on a horse and stood on the mountain, looking at the army that stretched for several miles, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his face was clouded with sorrow.

He Lian clearly knew that the leopard was luring the enemy to go deep, but he wanted to advance alone. Did he have to be in such a hurry to die?He didn't want Helian to die at this time. If he died at this time, Helian's reputation would be created instead, which would not benefit the future of Xianbei at all.He hoped that Helian would die at the most appropriate time, when the news of Helian's defeat came back to Danhanshan, and Helian's face was gone, so that Danhanshan would be firmly controlled by himself, future……

"My lord, there is news from Haoshuai."
