Great Han Empire

Chapter 67 Yanzhao Fengyun
"Launch, launch at will..." Murong Invasion shouted loudly while kicking his horse back.

The archer on the left immediately aimed a head-on blow at the cavalry army rushing out of the darkness.The long arrow whizzed, screamed like a ghost, and rushed towards the crazy Han soldiers with bared teeth and claws.

Murong Ji was so anxious that he ordered the trumpeter loudly and blew the horn to retreat.

"Order all siege soldiers to retreat immediately."

"Notify Xiong Ba, stop attacking the city immediately, rush to the south gate as quickly as possible, and cover our army's retreat."

"Order the right-wing reserve troops to move closer to the central army, assemble a dense defensive formation, and delay the enemy's attack speed."

The dense rain of arrows shot into the fast-moving iron cavalry army, and immediately some soldiers were marching at high speed, or they fell off their horses from arrows, or turned their backs on their backs.The soldiers of the Han army ignored them at all and continued to gallop wildly.

The shield soldiers standing in the front row were stunned by the ferocious momentum of the big man's iron cavalry. They subconsciously backed up again and again, as if they could avoid being hit by the enemy's iron cavalry.After shooting two arrows, the archers were already close to the soldiers of the Han army.Their defense was the worst. When they were unstoppable, they took the lead in turning around and starting to scatter towards the rear of the army.

With the help of the huge impact brought by the galloping horse, Li Hong's spear first picked and killed a shield soldier.The shield soldiers screamed and flew in the air, falling heavily into the ranks of the archers.

The two armies collided, and there was a huge and dull roar. This sound resounded across the battlefield and hit the hearts of Xianbei soldiers hard, terrified and frightened.

"Kill..." the soldiers of the Han army shouted, waving their sabers fiercely.The war horses under them were galloping and roaring, hitting all the enemies who blocked their progress.The Xianbei soldiers are like boats in the stormy sea, and like fallen leaves in the strong wind, helpless and weak, they are brutally trampled, trampled, hit, hacked and killed by this huge force that suddenly descended from the darkness, They simply don't have any power to fight back.

The escape of the archers aggravated the fear of the Xianbei army and accelerated their death.

Li Hong took the lead, the steel spear in his hand was stabbed in the left, there was absolutely no possibility of escape under the spear.The spear in Zheng Xin's hand was like a poisonous snake that devoured the life of the enemy with impunity.Tian Zhong swung his bow left and right, his long arrows roared fiercely, every arrow was sure to hit.Lei Zi's saber is like a whirling millstone, whoever hits it will die.The soldiers in the scout station and the guard station fought bravely and fought fiercely.

Liu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

When the rapid and deep sound of horns sounded suddenly in the dark night, Liu Yu's heart that had almost stopped beating in despair beat violently again.He opened his eyes wide and looked towards the roaring thunderous battlefield to the west.

Under the illumination of dozens of huge bonfires, the entire battlefield can be seen at a glance.

He saw that the formation of the Xianbei army under the city was rapidly adjusting, and the soldiers seemed very panicked and nervous.The Xianbei soldiers on the west city wall suddenly retreated along the ladder like the tide when they had completely gained the upper hand.The siege of the eastern wall ended almost immediately with the sound of the retreat horn.Only the battle downstairs of the city gate continued.But Yuwendong's archers had already withdrawn first, occupying a favorable position under the city, and were preparing to cover the withdrawal of the soldiers in the city.

Throughout the battlefield, the horns of emergency retreat kept coming and going, completely covering up the sound of fighting on the battlefield.The sudden tense atmosphere almost froze the bloody battlefield for a while.

He heard a huge impact, like a hammer smashing a war drum, it was deep and powerful but implied a sound of ruin.Immediately he saw that the enemy's left wing began to ripple like water in a pond, and then the ripples turned into waves, and the waves shook immediately, and then the entire enemy's left wing began to shake.

Liu Yu couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart, and roared loudly: "Beating the drum, beating the drum..."

The remaining soldiers and civilians on the tower hadn't been immersed in the bloody and cruel fight for a while, and they hadn't had time to believe that the vicious enemy would suddenly retreat.

The drums of war thundered like thunder.

This is the drumbeat of victory, this is the drumbeat of victory over the enemy.The soldiers and the people in the city woke up from the blood.They were finally looking forward to reinforcements, and at the moment they were about to collapse, they were looking forward to reinforcements.

The sound of war drums and cheers resounded through Yuyang City in an instant.

Yushi, Yan Wuwei's Zuoqu [-] cavalry rushed into the battlefield immediately after the advance troops led by Li Hong, and quickly expanded the impact surface for intercepting and killing the soldiers of the enemy's bow and arrow troops.The Xianbei soldiers launched a fierce attack while fleeing at high speed.They are good at riding and archery. Although they don't have horses, their individual combat capabilities are still outstanding.Their precise shooting skills and the joint attack technique of small troops caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the Han army.

Yan Rou led six hundred cavalry into the middle of the left wing of the Xianbei army.

Yan Rou was riding a fiery red war horse and wearing a blood red war robe, under the reflection of the fire, it was like a burning fire soaring on the battlefield.His broadsword was wide and heavy, and extremely sharp. When he swung it, he could only see the light of the knife flickering, his head flying, and blood spraying everywhere.The new force of the Xianbei was hit head-on by the Han army, causing heavy casualties.But their ferocious nature was not intimidated by the blood in front of them.After the initial panic, they began to fight back, their swords and axes rained down on the horses and soldiers of the Han cavalry.Enemies are crazy.

Xian Yufu's [-] cavalry on the left, Zhao Wen's [-] cavalry in the middle, Wu Zhao's [-] cavalry, and bearded Wei Jun's [-] cavalry on the right. The three men and horses roared like thunder and rushed onto the battlefield almost simultaneously.The joining of the main iron cavalry was like stabbing a fatal knife on a dying enemy.

The left wing of the Xianbei army collapsed in an instant.

The enemy's bow and arrow troops were defeated very quickly. Li Hong and the cavalry had no resistance.

Yan Rou's troops were violently blocked by the enemy.The Xianbei siege reserve team was full of energy, and their fighting style of fighting with their lives gradually slowed down the speed of the Han army's cavalry.Speed ​​is the soul of a cavalry unit. Without speed, cavalry will only be beaten on the battlefield.At this moment, Zhao Wen's follow-up troops rushed in.In an instant, the Han army was like a flood that broke the embankment, without any fetters, and it poured down with a force of destruction.The blocking enemy soldiers were immediately swept away by the surging iron cavalry, and were submerged by the rolling torrent in a blink of an eye.

When the retreat horn sounded, the Xianbei soldiers who had been withdrawn from the siege battlefield in the early stage, dragged their exhausted bodies at the fastest speed, and assembled towards the right wing of the army.They hoped to gain the time and opportunity to withdraw safely with the help of the right-wing troops.However, it was too late.The bearded cavalry swept in like a gust of wind, facing the enemies who had no ability to resist, only shouting and fleeing desperately, they carried out a merciless and bloody massacre.

The morale of the soldiers of the Sui tribe under the city tower was low.After they experienced a fierce fight and paid a heavy price, they fell short when they were about to firmly occupy the city gate.They had to retreat as ordered.

On the battlefield below the city gate, there were only a dozen or so remaining Han soldiers shouting. With the people's morale boosted, encouraged by the sound of thunderous battle drums on the city tower, they fought against the stubborn enemy. Launched a fierce attack.They broke through the barriers defended by the enemy soldiers, and several or even a dozen people besieged a Xianbei soldier.The Xianbei soldiers had completely lost their fighting spirit. They looked at the surging crowd in horror and fled.The crowd passed through the still burning city gate and rushed out of the city.

They stood still, and they saw an exciting scene.They burst into tears and wept with joy.

Li Hong's troops have all been deployed. Under the command of the loud and clear ox horns, the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, roaring, roaring, like a rounded sword, whistling, with the force of a thunderbolt. He slammed it down hard.The Xianbei army who had been stabbed was howling and crying, their livers and gallbladders were torn, and their wolves were rushing forward, unable to fight anymore.

Murong Ji looked helplessly at the soldiers who were retreating from the city wall, feeling as if a piece of flesh had been cut off in his heart, excruciating pain.There was no time left for them to retreat safely back to camp.The defensive formation of the army has been broken, and the whole army is in a rout.The enemy's reinforcements descended from the sky like ghosts, and their cavalry swarmed in, and all life on the battlefield would be swept away by them.The defeat is over, and there is no possibility of salvation.

Murong Feng thought of Xiong Ba.As long as Xiong Ba leaves the East City battlefield and comes to rescue as soon as possible, the troops will be able to get out of danger and minimize losses.

At this moment, he suddenly and completely understood Xiong Ba's state of mind when he suffered a disastrous defeat in Lulongsai that day.Victory is within easy reach, but it is like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror, illusory and out of reach.

Murong invaded the Pegasus and rushed over, shouting loudly: "Let's go quickly, it's too late."

Murong Ji glared at him angrily, and shouted loudly: "There are still thousands of soldiers retreating on the city wall, how can they just ignore it and leave?"

"We are about to lose all our archers. Without their cover, our retreat will be very dangerous, and we are very likely to be attacked by the enemy's tail. At that time, you will not be able to leave if you want to. Hurry up and order the right-wing troops to leave the battlefield and quickly Retreat." Murong Invasion saw that Murong Ji was a little irritated and his command was out of order, so he hurriedly reminded him.

Murong Ji was horrified when he heard the words, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.He saw the battle flags of the coyote tribe and the sky blue tribe slowly moving towards the central army, and immediately felt that he had made a wrong judgment on the situation on the entire battlefield.

Now that the enemy's reinforcements have all been deployed, it can be clearly seen that the enemy's main attack direction is its own bow and arrow troops and siege reserve troops.On the contrary, the main force was not invested in the weakest rear army, and that was the best direction for his retreat.The enemy's reinforcements attacked from their own flanks. They charged in a straight line from east to west, and there was no way to suddenly turn and attack in a north-south direction.But the direction of his withdrawal was north-south.As long as you move fast enough, you can avoid the enemy's thunderbolt and withdraw as many troops as possible.

For a time, the horns ordering the right-wing troops and rear troops to retreat sounded all over the battlefield.

Wumeng and Weiran led their troops and disappeared into the darkness at an incredible speed.Under the pursuit of the iron cavalry led by Huzi, the Xianbei soldiers of the rear army fell apart and scattered like birds and beasts. Instead, the soldiers of the Han army who lined up in a dense charge formation were at a loss as to whether to disperse and chase at will or keep the formation advancing rapidly.Beard chose the latter.It is wrong to lose the speed of the cavalry in order to kill the enemy's soldiers.

Hearing the enemy's horn, Li Hong immediately roared loudly: "Accelerate, accelerate with all your strength..."

The passionate and loud horn sounded like thunder on the battlefield with roaring horseshoes, and suddenly exploded in the dark night sky, shaking every soldier on the battlefield.

"kill……"

Accompanied by the earth-shaking roars and roars, the most primitive killing hearts of the soldiers were finally ignited.They frantically drove their horses, and slashed at the enemy with even more fearless bravery.

Yan Rou's troops encountered huge resistance again.Murong Ji's main force, under the command of the young commander Murong Lin, vowed to stop it.

In front is the Chinese army of the Xianbei army. The huge golden eagle battle flag is flying high in the night sky. It seems to tell all the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles that the flag has not fallen, the battle is still going on, and the commander is still commanding.

Murong Invasion looked at the approaching Han army, and suddenly saw a huge red battle flag. In the middle of the battle flag was a black panther with its teeth and claws open, and the word "Fengyun" was placed on the left and right.

He yelled nervously: "Leopard, it's the leopard's troops. Withdraw, withdraw quickly."

Immediately, Murong Ji was surrounded by the guards, and together with Murong Invasion, he hurriedly rode his horse and fled.

Yan Rou's sword slammed heavily on Murong Lin's mace.Murong Lin let out a miserable cry, his jaws split open, and the mace flew out of his hands.Before he could stand still, a spear pierced him, and he was thrown far behind the cavalry of the Han army.Immediately, he was trampled into a pulp by countless horseshoes.

"Cut it down..." Yan Rou roared, brandishing a big knife, and shouted hoarsely: "Cut down the enemy's battle flag, cut it down..."

A soldier heard the sound and stabbed the horse's rear with a knife.The war horse suffered from pain, neighed and flew high, and ran into the Xianbei banner.The enemies guarding the battle flag were not afraid of life and death, they raised their weapons and aimed at the horses and knights in the air almost at the same time.

There was a loud "boom", and the flagpole was hit hard by the body of the flying horse, and it was immediately broken in the middle.The huge golden eagle battle flag immediately fell to the ground along with half of the flagpole.

On the huge body of the war horse, more than a dozen swords were inserted in front and back. Before it died, it followed the inertia and violently killed several enemy soldiers.The knight on horseback was hit by several long arrows, and he fell to his death.

The Xianbei soldiers suddenly lost their last support in their hearts, and their tenacious will to fight finally collapsed with the chaotic and indistinguishable sound of horns.

The battlefield suddenly seemed to stop for an instant, and then a terrifying roar resounded through the night, and the Xianbei soldiers began a desperate and chaotic escape.

Almost all the battle drums in Yuyang City were beating, the huge sound was earth-shattering, the horses were galloping on the battlefield, and the sound of killing was shaking the sky.

Dawn suddenly opened the shady scene.

The Xianbei soldiers turned pale with panic, and ran desperately across the plain for several miles.

With great difficulty, with the help of the soldiers, Murong Feng snatched a batch of war horses and tried to escape.Xian Yufu and his cavalry were blown like a whirlwind, hitting and slashing, more than a dozen enemies were immediately wiped out.Xian Yufu's iron halberd mercilessly deflected Murong Feng's saber and pierced into his chest.Murong Feng howled miserably, and was provoked high by Xian Yufu's halberd.A cavalry galloped past, his sword flew up, and chopped off his head with a single blow.

Yuwendong was tied to a horse and fled eastward quickly led by his men.Huzi and the soldiers chased after him, shot arrows and hacked with knives, and killed several Yuwendong guards in succession.Huzi swung the big knife with all his strength, and the big knife roared down amidst Yuwendong's desperate roar, hacking both the man and the horse to death.

In the cold dawn, Li Hong's iron cavalry slaughtered all over the battlefield. With bloody terror, they chased the enemy in the direction of escape like wild horses.

On the plain outside Yuyang City, the big Han cavalry, led by the blood-red Fengyun battle flag, swept towards the fleeing enemy like a stormy sea with overwhelming force.

Suddenly, a long, desolate horn sounded on the left side of the Han army.

Li Hong, who was yelling wildly, was shocked in his heart, and he roared almost without thinking: "Array, re-array..."
