Great Han Empire

Chapter 6 Rising Sun
With the successive arrival of leaders of all sizes, Koyer's troops also gathered about 3000 people.Keye is afraid of Murong Feng.Before the arrival of the large army, he was unwilling to take the initiative to attack, so he followed Murong Feng's cavalry from a distance, not daring to get too close.

Today the scouts reported that Murong Feng's army had suddenly accelerated their marching speed and appeared to be very panicked.Mu Ye then summoned several leaders to discuss whether to continue chasing at the original speed or speed up the pursuit.

"Xiao Shuai, Murong Feng probably found out that the king has brought the army here in person, so he speeded up his escape." A thousand commander said, "Murong Feng only has more than 1000 people now, and his follow-up troops have not had time to join him. .If we catch up immediately, we will have an absolute advantage in numbers, and we can catch him off guard. Killing Murong Feng, Xiaoshuai will be greatly credited."

"Murong Feng has fought wars for decades, and he is scheming. We'd better be careful." Another Qianchang said.

"Murongfeng is old, and he no longer has the courage of the past." One of Ke Ye's confidantes waved his hand and said, "Xiao Shuai, let's catch up and kill him. We want the Xianbei people to know that Ke is not the only one in the Tiger tribe." The biggest man is the best at fighting."

This is the worst time to say.Ke Ye's face immediately turned ugly.He swung the horsewhip in his hand vigorously, and slammed it on the bushes beside the road.

"Xiaoshuai, no matter what Murong Feng says, there are only more than 1000 people. We attack him with 3000 people, not to mention the complete annihilation, Xiaosheng is absolutely sure of victory."

Ke Ye turned his back to his subordinates, lowered his head and calculated his own gains and losses, and finally the desire to perform meritorious service prevailed.

"Full speed pursuit." Koyer turned around suddenly and said firmly.

"Marshal, Koyer's troops have all caught up." A scout came galloping from behind the troops.The soldier didn't get off his horse either. After reporting loudly, he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away.

"Marshal, Ko Ye's troops are extremely fast and have already arrived at Chatun."

"Commander, Koyer's army is twenty miles away from our army."

"Commander, Koyer's troops have already crossed Pingtun."

One after another scouts rode horses, galloping back and forth, and immediately conveyed a message to the soldiers: the war was about to start.

The soldiers became excited, everyone began to whisper, and the speed of the march was significantly accelerated.

Murong Feng sat on the horse peacefully, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Li Hong rode a red horse and followed behind Murong Feng, looking around nervously.It is the first time to participate in a large army to fight a big battle. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.As the scouts ran around more and more frequently, Li Hong's muscles tensed up, and it was even difficult for him to breathe.

"Take a deep breath..." Murong Feng heard his heavy breathing sound like pulling a windmill, turned his head and said to him with a smile, "Take a deep breath to relieve the tension in your heart." Li Hong scratched his head in embarrassment, and took a few deep breaths. He took a deep breath, and his breathing became much smoother, but his heart was still beating desperately.

"Warning a big battle is not like fighting a small army encounter. Because both sides have to prepare carefully for a big battle, the atmosphere before the big battle is usually very tense, and an encounter, just like what you experienced a few days ago, is a hasty fight. It is the courage of each individual and the cooperation of the small group, so generally there is no time for you to be nervous, and the battle has already begun."

Li Hong nodded.Murong Feng slowed down his horse and walked side by side with Li Hong.Seeing that Li Hong was still very nervous, he pointed to the surroundings and said, "This place is called Mazuipo. You can see that the hill descends from here. It is flat and wide, which is especially suitable for cavalry troops to accelerate when charging, which greatly increases the impact of cavalry. The power of the time." Said Murong Feng had already rode out and stood on the top of the hill.Li Hong followed closely behind him.

Both of them looked down the hill.At the bottom of Mazuipo is a half-moon-shaped grassland with a radius of three or four miles.On the top and waist of the half-moon arc are two densely wooded hills.

"Marshal, if we can ambush [-] cavalry on each of the two hills, Koye's [-] cavalry will be wiped out." Li Hong pointed to the opposite hill with his whip, casually said to Murong Feng.

Murong Feng didn't make a sound, but silently looked ahead.

Keye stopped his horse and looked at Mazuipo in the distance.The scouts reported just now that Murong Feng's troops had crossed Mazuipo, three miles away from the troops.After running hard for a long time, he finally caught up with Murong Feng.

"Tell the ministries to speed up. Murong Feng is ahead, and the opportunity to make a fortune is at hand." Keye excitedly said to the messenger behind him:

Murong Feng, Iron Wolf, Gongsun Hu, Black Leopard were at the front of the line.Behind them are 1000 people divided into ten queues, and each queue has 100 people standing in a line on horseback, waiting to attack.The first three rows are archers, and the middle three rows are spearmen.The last four rows are the main force for the charge, with more miscellaneous weapons, such as knives, swords, axes, and maces.

Li Hong was placed in the middle of the first row.The atmosphere on the battlefield was so tense and depressing that he couldn't breathe.Following the method taught by Murong Feng, he took a deep breath, and then sprayed it out with his mouth.His bellows-like breathing attracted the attention of the soldiers nearby.That soldier was probably a veteran, and he smiled silently at Li Hong.Li Hong was very embarrassed, and his face immediately turned red.

No one said anything.Even the horses could feel the battle that was about to break out. They raised their heads high and pricked up their ears, ready to accept the commands from their masters.

In Murong Feng's vision, the Tiger Tribe army finally appeared.First there was the large banner embroidered with a golden tiger head, and then there were knights rushing out like a whirlwind, one by one, a few, a group, and in a blink of an eye, a huge one poured out overwhelmingly.

The sound of the enemy's horseshoes was like a small drum being beaten. At first, it could be faintly heard, and then it gradually became louder, denser, and deafening. Gradually, the ground under their feet trembled violently, and everything was like a mountain torrent. Like an eruption, the arrogant god of death rushed towards the face with the breath of death, which made people's minds split.

Murong Feng was calm and composed, even a smug smile appeared on his face.

The horses of the troops began to shake their heads and tails, becoming restless, swinging their hooves in a staggered manner, sneezing and sneezing non-stop, and some horses even rushed halfway out of the queue.

Li Hong's violent heartbeat seemed to be gradually adapting to the suffocating atmosphere. His slightly trembling hands were able to firmly grasp the reins, and his breathing like a bellows had unconsciously become normal.But his mind was already attracted by the overwhelming enemy cavalry under the hill, and he completely forgot that he was still nervous.

Murong Feng finally raised his right hand amidst everyone's expectation.The buglers in the first row immediately puffed up their big cheeks and blew the bull horns that had been placed by their mouths a long time ago.The long charging horn rang through the entire Mazuipo for a while.

"Huho, hoho..." The soldiers raised their weapons high, and let out earth-shattering shouts from their chests filled with suffocation.All the soldiers' blood boiled with enthusiasm for a moment, and they were all aroused by the deafening roar to fight.Fear, panic, timidity, everything turned into clouds and smoke at this moment, and nothing remained.

Infected by the atmosphere, Li Hong was filled with boundless strength.He opened his eyes wide, blushed, raised his saber with all his strength, and roared at the top of his lungs.For the first time, he felt that war also has such a charming and seductive side.

"Kill..." Murong Feng raised his spear high, rode on the white horse with its front legs raised high, its head raised and neighing, and it turned its head and roared to attack his subordinates, and then the white horse rushed out like the wind.

Koye and the others didn't realize that they had chased the enemy until they heard the sound of horns soaring into the sky.Although the enemy waited for work at leisure and took the lead in attacking to seize the opportunity, they had an absolute advantage in numbers, and this opportunity was relatively insignificant.

Koye immediately shouted to the buglers beside him, "Let's charge."

A commander next to him immediately reminded him: "Xiao Shuai, our pursuit speed is too fast, and the formation is already in chaos. Should we regroup first and then fight the enemy decisively?"

"We have 3000 people against him and 1000 people, and he can be trampled to death." Koyer exclaimed excitedly, "Kill."

The slope of Mazui slope helped Murong Feng's cavalry to accelerate to the limit in a short time.The soldiers shouted in their mouths, and quickly rushed to the enemy.

Li Hong looked at the enemy army that was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but think of Keye's torture in his mind.

"Koye, I will definitely kill you today." Thinking of the scars and amazing pain all over his body, hatred immediately filled his heart.

The horn sounded suddenly again.

The iron wolf's roar came faintly from the left, "Arrow up..."

"put……"

The sky was filled with black arrows, like black clouds before a storm, which made people feel frightened.The whistling sound of the high-speed flying arrows tearing through the air was like the sneer of death.The breath of death instantly enveloped the empty Mazuipo.

The sound of the arrows plunging into the body was drowned out by the sound of the roaring horseshoes, and only the cruel scene of people turning their backs on their backs could be seen.If you fall off the horse at this speed, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.The most frightening thing is that the horse is shot at the vital point, and even the man and the horse suddenly fly out of control, often killing both men and horses, and the soldiers who follow after them usually use the arrow to avoid the reach of the arrow as soon as possible. It is absolutely unavoidable to gallop at extreme speed and trample to death soldiers who are seriously injured or fall off their horses.

Koyer's cavalry immediately fired back a round.However, due to their scattered formation, the arrows they shot were messy and their power was greatly reduced.

Iron Wolf was still shouting at the top of his lungs: "Up arrow..."

Under the command of the howls, even Murong Feng, who rushed to the front, drew his bow and set his arrows to aim according to the instructions.

"put……"

The distance between the two sides is sixty steps.The howling sounded again.

Gongsun Hu and the black leopard roared loudly on the left and right of the queue: "The spears are ready..."

The first three rows of archers suddenly formed a loose formation, and there was a passage between each of them that could allow a horse to pass through.The three rows of spearmen speeded up their horses again, overtook the archers, and formed spearmen to charge at the forefront.

Most of the archers put away their bows and took out their own fighting weapons.Only soldiers with extremely high shooting skills still use bows and arrows as their attack weapons.

The distance between the two sides is thirty steps.The howling sounded again.

The spearmen changed again, forming a diamond-shaped shock array.This array enables every soldier to face the enemy at the same time for the first time.This multiplies the lethality.But it has depth, and every soldier will be protected by his comrades on the left, right and behind.

The spearman rushed out with a three-foot-long spear, and it was very difficult for any enemy on horseback to escape its sharp blow.

The cavalry that Ke Ye brought out this time were all ordinary soldiers. Only the main force of the cavalry was equipped with spearmen like this, so as soon as the two sides came into contact, Ke Ye's soldiers suffered a big loss.

Looking at the soldiers who were pierced by the spears or being thrown or picked up, listening to the countless miserable cries in his ears, Koyer's anger erupted uncontrollably like blood splattering.

"Kill...kill..." He waved his long knife and shouted hoarsely.

Ke Ye is very powerful, and there are no three-in-one people under him.

The shouts of killing on the battlefield were earth-shattering, and there were soldiers fighting each other everywhere.Soldiers on horseback gallop back and forth, soldiers with bows and arrows shoot at each other, and warriors without horses fight in groups of three or four.

Murong Feng's spear had been broken after killing four enemies. He drew out his saber and led a group of guard cavalry to continue fighting fiercely.

After losing more than 1000 people, Ke Ye's iron cavalry finally withstood the fierce attack launched by Murong Feng.Gradually, the advantage of their large number gradually emerged.Murong Feng's more than 1000 riders struggled tenaciously for more than half an hour, but due to the excessive loss of personnel, they gradually lost their support.
