Great Han Empire

Chapter 519 Immediately Shooting the Gun
In September of the first year of Yonghan (189 A.D.) of the Great Han Dynasty, it was in the desert.

===

The eagle is in the sky.

Yan Rou was startled, and when she looked up, a black eagle was soaring among the blue sky and white clouds, its shrill and piercing voice was breathtaking.

Yan Rou's expression changed drastically, and she blurted out in surprise: "Black Eagle cavalry." Murong Feng finally came.

Yan Rou was excited and nervous at the same time, he licked his lips, looked around the open field, raised his whip and shouted wildly: "Blow the horn, the geese line up densely, keep the speed, keep the speed..."

"Order She Yingtong and Lu Huanyang to come quickly to support."

"Tell Master Zhang that the black eagle cavalry has appeared, and ask them to speed up their march and arrive at Shuangyan Mountain as soon as possible to rendezvous."

As soon as the messenger turned his horse's head, the Xianbei people rushed out from the end of the field like a tide.The iron cavalry of the Han army rushed to meet them, Li Su, Shehu, and Hongbai each led the cavalry of the headquarters, with Yan Rou as the head of the goose, and spread out one word.

Yan Rou galloped her horse, and shouted loudly to the horn soldiers: "Order Li Su, Shehu, and Hongbai, don't speed up without my order."

At the foot of Shuangyan Mountain, tens of thousands of horses are galloping, horns are blaring, and the war is about to break out.

Ever since Sun Qin led the army to defeat Xieguini's raiding iron cavalry on Wumingyuan, Yan Rou slowed down her pursuit and kept advancing simultaneously with Zhang Yan's army within a distance of thirty miles.One hundred li after crossing Shuangyan Mountain is Fuyangju Mountain, which is also the most dangerous part of the journey.Zhang Yan and Yan Rou didn't know if Murong Feng's army had arrived at Chaotianyuan, so they were extra cautious.According to their calculations, if Murong Feng and Mijia used all the Xianbei forces in the central and eastern regions to rescue the leader, they would have at least [-] to [-] cavalry.If Murong Feng gave up on rescuing Danhanshan, but flew directly to Chaotianyuan at the fastest speed, he might rush to the destination ahead of the Han army and make arrangements calmly.With Murong Feng's ability to use troops and the strength of his troops, he can completely injure the weak left and right wings of the Han army.

When Li Su was a scout in Lulongsai, he heard Li Hong mention the Black Eagle cavalry several times. He had never experienced a war before, and he was very afraid of the bravery of the Black Eagle cavalry. Iron cavalry is nothing in his eyes, as long as he touches it, he can kill the black eagle cavalry.It's even more different now, Li Su is already a battle-tested warrior, and the black eagle cavalry in front of him is his prey and future glory.

The horn soared into the sky.Li Su looked excited, and roared hoarsely: "Accelerate...accelerate..."

The war horse neighed in pain, its four hooves soared into the air, and its huge body brushed against the long green grass and shot out like flying.Four thousand soldiers of the Han army roared like thunder, shaking the mountains and plains.

The Black Eagle battle flag fluttered in the strong wind, and three thousand Black Eagle Cavalry soldiers, led by Tie Ao, roared like a hurricane.

The two sides didn't shoot a single arrow, they just rode their horses and galloped wildly, and the speed of the horses reached the limit in a blink of an eye.Li Su sat up straight suddenly, opened his eyes angrily, and raised his gun and shouted wildly: "Brothers, kill..."

There was a loud bang on the battlefield, the crash of horses, the muffled sound of spears piercing through the body, and the screams of dying soldiers soared into the sky.Tie Ao leaped into the battle formation of the Han army, saw the rise and fall of the sword in his hand, and beheaded two people, "Go in, cut the battle formation of the Han army, cut it..."

Yan Rou chopped off the Xianbei people who were speeding forward, and fell to the ground with a knife, "Blow the horn, charge intensively, block the black eagle, fight to the death, fight to the death..."

The Xianbei people were divided into three teams, like three sharp long arrows, nailed fiercely on the huge goose formation, and the Han army's cavalry was densely packed like a giant shield, and they hit head-on with the force of thunder.The soldiers on both sides fought like thunder and attacked bravely. For a while, blood and flesh flew across the battlefield, making it difficult to distinguish.

Hongbai led the left-wing cavalry of the Han army to kill more and more fiercely, and the Xianbei people seemed to be unable to hold on, with heavy casualties, and they scattered and fought.The dense formation of the left wing of the Han army unknowingly loosened in this tragic fight.Tie Guo led a team of personal guards to attack from the side of Hongbai suddenly.The dense crossbow arrows roared towards him, Hongbai was caught off guard, and several arrows flew out backwards from his body.Tieguo Pegasus catches up and takes the head with a single blow.The flag bearer was holding the red cypress battle flag tightly, and fell headlong, his bloody body was immediately trampled to pieces by the galloping horseshoes.The left wing of the Han army was in chaos.

The Xianbei immediately attacked the left flank of the Han army with heavy troops, and their fierce offensive quickly killed the Han army's cavalry.As long as the left wing of the Han army collapses, the Xianbei people will launch a fierce attack from the flank of the Han army. Once the dense battle formation is broken through, the defeat is certain.

Yan Rou was shocked, and screamed wildly: "Order to shoot the tiger, lead people to kill the left flank, block the Xianbei people, block..."

Shehu, who was located behind the army, heard the sound of the horn and immediately led 300 people to kill wildly towards the left wing of the army.

She Yingtong and Lu Huanyang followed Yan Rou's front army ten miles behind with four thousand cavalry. After receiving Yan Rou's urgent order, the two supervised the army and advanced quickly.As soon as they reached the vicinity of Shuangyan Mountain, Xie Guini and Bu Dugeng brought five thousand cavalry and killed them from their flanks.

Lu Huanyang yelled, "What are the scouts doing? They didn't notice so many Xianbei people? Turn around and kill them all."

She Yingtong looked at the lush mountains in the distance, with a serious expression, "The commander is here."

Lu Huanyang sneered and said: "The black eagle cavalry are here, of course Murong Feng is here, are you afraid?"

She Yingtong smiled, "The desert belongs to us Xianbei people. We are familiar with every plant, tree, mountain and river here. It is very easy for the commander to hide his whereabouts. It's just strange why he didn't use the main force to ambush us ?”

"Maybe Murong Feng just arrived, and his army is still behind." Lu Pofeng said, "Come on, let's go up."

She Yingtong swung her spear vigorously and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's go, let's kill..."

The horns sounded together, and the roar was like thunder, "Kill..."

The four thousand cavalry were like a torrent, pouring down with overwhelming force.

After Zhang Yan received Yan Rou's report, he immediately accelerated his marching speed, but when he received She Yingtong's report again, he categorically ordered the army to stop advancing.Zhang Yan ordered the soldiers to use chariot formations to protect the food and supplies in case Murong Feng led the army to attack.

Lou Lu asked for support from the Ministry.Lou Lu said, Murong Feng is not an ordinary person, he is famous in the desert and no one can beat him.This time we attack Xianbei, Murong Feng will definitely do everything possible to drive us out.I think Master Yan and She Yingtong are very dangerous this time. If we don't support them, they may be completely wiped out.

Zhang Yan smiled without saying a word, calm and composed.

"The black eagle cavalry blocked Yan Rou before, and Xie Gui reversed and attacked She Yingtong. This is obviously a trick to lure the enemy." Sun Qin said, "Murong Feng's purpose is nothing more than to burn our food and grass and force us to retreat. If he can't induce us to split up and find no chance to attack us, he might withdraw to Chaotianyuan. But..." Sun Qin frowned and said, "My lord, isn't it too conspicuous for Murong Feng to attack Lord Yan with a black eagle cavalry? ? Has he not arrived yet? Or his main cavalry has not arrived yet? Murong Feng is just bluffing and delaying our attack speed by doing this?"

Sun Qin looked at Zhang Yan, and asked hesitantly, "Sir, do you think we should send someone to help and test it?"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, just wait."

"What if Murong Feng's purpose is not to burn our food and grass, but to kill the iron cavalry?" Yu Digen asked, "Or Murong Feng sees that he has no chance to burn the food and grass, so he simply attacks and kills the iron cavalry with all his strength, then they will die I beg you, my lord, to think about it carefully."

"Don't think about it." Zhang Yan patted the ashes on his body with a horsewhip, and said with a smile, "In such a short period of time, even Murongfeng's great ability cannot gather all the troops of the Xianbei Kingdom. To support it for a while longer, we need enough troops. If the loss in Shuangyan Mountain is too big this time, it will be more difficult for him to fight in the future. Our eight thousand cavalry are not easy to fight. Not only are the soldiers strong and the morale is high, even if they All of them were lost, and the price Murong Feng paid was also very heavy. His loss would not be less than this amount, and the Black Eagle cavalry was finished. Murong Feng couldn't afford this loss anyway. Besides, he used his main force to encircle Yan Rourou It takes a certain amount of time to shoot Yingtong. With this time, we can catch up and beat him hard."

"In addition, in order to defeat us, the first thing Murongfeng has to do after arriving in Chaotianyuan is to control the military power of the Xianbei armies. This is very important to him. A few days later, Chaotianyuan has The head of the Xianbei king, Mijia from the eastern Xianbei and Xianbei from the west, and even Tuobafeng from the northern Xianbei may successfully escape to Chaotianyuan. So many great Xianbei leaders are together, who do you listen to? Kui No matter whether it is seniority or strength, even Murong Feng will not listen to him." Zhang Yan looked at the generals surrounding him, and then said, "If Murong Feng wants to monopolize the military power, he only needs to rely on strength to speak, so He is absolutely unwilling to lose his troops at this time. I dare to bet you that Murong Feng will have to withdraw his troops at dusk."

===

At dusk, Shuangyan Mountain.

Murong Feng sat under the tree and concentrated on looking at the map, Xiong Ba lay on the side and slept, and Kuitou walked back and forth nervously not far away.

The scouts kept flying horses to report, saying that the main force of the Han army stopped five miles away from Shuangyan Mountain, and neither sent cavalry to support the two battlefields ahead, nor continued to advance, nor left.

"It seems that Zhang Yan has seen through our plan." Murong Feng sighed, "Prepare to withdraw, otherwise the loss will be too great."

"This Yellow Turban Army commander is very good at using troops." Xiong Ba said helplessly, "We have increased our troops three times in a row and two battlefields, and he didn't support even one time, so cruel. Isn't he afraid that we will swallow Yan Rou and She Yingtong in one gulp? ?”

"Since he knows our purpose, of course he won't go into the mountain." Murong Feng stood up slowly and said, "He can lose eight thousand cavalry, but I can't. Let's retreat."

The leader hurried over and asked, "Why are you withdrawing? We can wipe out all the eight thousand cavalry."

Murong Feng smiled wryly, and comforted him in a low voice, "My lord, we still have time and a chance, so there is no need to hurry. Let's go."
