Great Han Empire

Chapter 906 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
Han Sui was very angry when he heard that the Qiang people had disobeyed the military order and left the battlefield to pursue the northern Xinjiang cavalry.

Ling Ru hastily persuaded him.At present, the enemy's strength has been exposed, and the iron cavalry of the Northern Border Army has appeared on both sides of the battlefield as we expected. If Xu Rong still has troops in his hands, they should be used as backup reinforcements in Wannian City and will not immediately enter the battlefield.Therefore, Ling Ru suggested to Han Sui to let the high-ranking officials command the main force to go into the right-wing battlefield to encircle and wipe out the enemy.

"The Qiang people left the battlefield without authorization, resulting in too few right-wing cavalry to protect the main force while encircling the enemy." Han Sui said worriedly, "If the reserve forces in Xu Rong's hands are all cavalry, then our main force infantry The large army will not be able to quickly surround the enemy, on the contrary, they may be hit head-on by the enemy cavalry."

"Xu Rong may not have iron cavalry in his hands." Han Yi rode forward and approached Han Sui and said, "Now the right wing of the northern army is the Duliao camp, and the left wing is the Huns, and the middle road has not yet seen the appearance of iron cavalry. North The frontier army has limited troops in the middle, and without cavalry to protect its flanks, it can't stop Meng Qi (Ma Chao)'s attack at all. The northern frontier army will not give up the middle and let us easily split its left and right wings, so Xu Rong If we still have troops in hand now, we will immediately reinforce the middle.”

Han Yi pointed to the battlefield and said confidently, "Whether the Northern Army still has iron cavalry, we will know immediately."

"Boom boom, boom boom..." At this moment, drums sounded in unison on the battlefield in the middle of the road, which was also mixed with the "clang" of the golden gong and the rapid "woo..." sound of the horn.

"The Northern Army is retreating in the middle." Ling Ru took a closer look at the fast-moving battle flags on the battlefield, and suddenly shouted happily, "Look, their battle flags are retreating..."

Han Sui's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.Perhaps Xu Rong really only has so many cavalry in his hands.

"My lord, urgently order the high-ranking officials to attack immediately." Ling Ru Liansha urged.

Han Sui caressed his long beard, and said in a long time, "Wait a little longer. Tell the senior officer, please be patient, don't worry, don't attack blindly, and wait for me to deploy the cavalry to cover his flank."

"Urgently tell Mawan, immediately send someone to call Qiangqi back, and return to the battlefield."

"Tell Ma Chao, don't deploy iron cavalry to support the high-ranking officials on the right wing for the time being, and concentrate on chasing and killing the enemy in the middle."

"Order Yan Xing, bring three thousand elites, and immediately enter the middle lane, and join Ma Chao to encircle and kill the enemy army in the middle lane."

"My lord, if you wait any longer, the northern army on the right-wing battlefield may retreat in large strides, narrowing the distance between us and the city, and we may lose the opportunity to wipe out the enemy." Ling Ru persuaded loudly, "Let's start the siege immediately. .”

"Since Xu Rong dared to force me to fight him decisively, there must be something to rely on. Now that the army in the middle is retreating, it does not mean that he has no reserve troops in his hands. We must be careful, and we must be sure that he has no troops in his hands before we can make the last stand." Make sure nothing goes wrong." Han Sui waved his hand and said, "In addition, if we defeat the northern army's central route first, we can not only cut off the mutual support of their armies on both wings, but also quickly mobilize cavalry to support the battlefield on both wings, which will help us control the battle situation in advance. "

Ling Ru wanted to persuade again, but Han Sui waved his hand resolutely, "Order."

Yan Xing rushed into the battlefield with three thousand elite cavalry.

At this time, Ma Chao was at a loss.During the retreat of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the defenses of each battle formation were extremely tight, and the cooperation between each other did not reveal the slightest flaw. The Xiliang people tried to attack several times, but they were all shot back by dense long arrows and roaring ballistas. , Lost dozens of cavalry pawns in vain.

Ma Chao's spirit was lifted by Yan Xing's support. He ordered Jiang Feng to lead a thousand cavalry to line up and restrain them from the front. The defense of the frontier army.

But the northern border army has already withdrawn to the predetermined position, about [-] steps away from the city.The soldiers reorganized the battle formation as quickly as possible and rebuilt a solid "fortress".

Yan Xing and his [-] soldiers rushed towards them with high morale. They rushed through the arrow formation, and like a violent hurricane, they crashed into the battle formation of the Northern Border Army overwhelmingly.Probably because of the tight time, the battle formation was not solid, but Yan Xing's men were not afraid of life and death, and under repeated attacks, they broke through the "black city wall" and forced their way into the battle formation.

In order to kill the enemy, the school lieutenant Wang Fang rushed up fiercely with a group of fierce soldiers.After a bloody battle, the Xiliang people dropped dozens of corpses, and the gap was gradually closed, but at this moment, the Xiliang people organized another more violent charge.

Wang Fang was exhausted, but he continued to fight fiercely with his soldiers.A wounded horse roared forward, and several shield hands were caught off guard and were knocked into the air. The king's room and three spearmen standing behind the shield hand stabbed four spears into the horse's crotch almost at the same time. Chest and belly.The war horse hissed in pain, and the huge body took a few more steps before finally crashing to the ground.The king's room closest to the horse couldn't dodge in time, and was knocked to the ground by the crashing horse. Before he could stand up, the Xiliang cavalry on the horse roared loudly and stabbed the king's room with a knife. back.Wang Fang let out a miserable cry, and died out of breath.

The death of Wang Fang greatly affected the morale of the Northern Border Army. Although the soldiers roared like thunder and fought bravely, the gap in the battle formation became wider and wider.

He Feng came with his guards to support him.

"Establish the shield, erect the shield..." He Feng shouted hoarsely, "Brothers, raise your spears and kill the enemy."

The Xiliang iron cavalry rushed up, and under the whip of the cavalry, the vigorous horses slammed into the tall shield frantically.The liar curled up, his feet were firmly nailed to the ground, and he pressed against the shield with all his strength. Suddenly there was a loud noise from behind, and the liar flew up involuntarily as if struck by lightning.A pair of big hands descended from the sky and pushed him back fiercely, "Hold it, hold it up for me..."

The liar saw He Feng and exclaimed repeatedly: "Master, I can't stand it, I can't stand it..."

"If you can't stand it, bear it." He Feng rushed up and hugged his waist, "Come on, push hard, push hard..."

Huangfu Li reached out and knocked on the case table, "Hurry up, if you play chess like you, you won't be able to finish playing chess at night."

"Are you in a hurry?" Xu Rong looked at him with a smile, "You have improved a lot in chess, and I can't cope with it."

"My lord is busy with political affairs, so my chess skills will inevitably decline." Huangfu Li laughed, "I have been in filial piety for three years, and I spend all day dealing with chess pieces. Of course, my chess skills have improved."

Xu Rong was hesitant, holding the chess pieces for a long time before making a move.

"My lord, Han Suizeng's troops are in the middle of the road, and he is fighting to the death around He Feng." Chen Wei hurried over, "Master Duan wants to fight, look..."

"Increasing troops in the middle? How many people?" Xu Rong asked casually, staring at the chessboard.

"About 5000 people, judging from the banner, it is Yan Xing's army."

"That's Han Sui's elite cavalry." Huangfu Li said in surprise, "It seems that Han Sui wants to defeat our center and cut off the connection between our army's left and right wings, that is to say, he doesn't want to use his main force to launch an attack yet. "

Xu Rong looked up at the sky, "It's still early, I guess he will have to wait a little longer, so that we can consume our troops and find out our deployment."

"Once Han Sui learns that the Qiang people have been ambushed, he must know that we still have troops. Without knowing how strong we are, he is very likely to order the withdrawal of Chang'an." Chen Wei said worriedly, " We must let Han Sui put all his troops on the battlefield as soon as possible, for fear of any change."

"Where is Beard (Wei Jun) now?" Xu Rong asked suddenly.

"According to your order, he should have crossed the Jingshui River from the direction of Chiyang last night. If there is no accident, he will soon arrive at Gaoling, about a hundred miles away from the battlefield."

"Immediately send someone to meet him and tell him to speed up his march, and he must arrive at the battlefield before dusk." Xu Rong said, "Also, urgently tell my lords Yan Rou and Liu Bao that Duliao Battalion failed to lure the Xiliang people away from the battlefield. , unable to carry out an ambush strategy, please return them to the battlefield quickly."

Chen Wei bowed and agreed, "My lord, Duan lord wants to go to the battle and reinforce the middle lane, look..."

"Who is Madman He? If you drive him into a hurry, Ma Chao and Yan Xing will suffer a lot." Xu Rong shook his head carelessly, put the chess piece in his hand and licked it on his lips, "Tell Zhang Baiqi, call He took the initiative to attack and quickly formed a counterattack on the left and right wings of the battlefield."

"But..." Chen Wei said hastily, "The Qiang people will soon be surrounded and wiped out, and Han Sui will get the news immediately, if..."

"We can't get support in the middle, but both wings are launching a counterattack at the same time. This is Han Sui's best opportunity to encircle and annihilate one of our wings. I believe he will not miss it." Xu Rong put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard as he spoke. , Just when the chess piece was in place, he hurriedly took the chess piece back.

"Brother Zilie, don't regret it." Huangfu Li immediately reached out to stop him.

"Have I regretted it?" Xu Rong turned to look at Chen Wei.Chen Wei smiled lightly and waved his hands again and again, "No, I didn't see your lord make a move."

"How can you open your eyes and talk nonsense?" Huangfu Li complained dissatisfiedly, "Brother Zilie was obviously a regretful son just now."

Xu Rong frowned slightly, and looked at Chen Wei with a half-smile.Chen Wei understood, turned around and ran away.

Ten miles southeast of the battlefield, Xiaowei River.

Liu Ming galloped all the way with the cavalry.Due to the continuous galloping of the war horses, their physical strength was exhausted, and their speed became slower and slower, and the same was true for the Qiang people who were chasing after them. In order to maintain the physical strength of their war horses, they had to slow down.The two armies, one behind the other, gradually approached the river canal.

"Woooo..." Suddenly, the long horn blew across the sky with the fresh river wind.Then, the Qiang people saw a scene that made them despair.

Countless cavalry appeared on the river embankment, extending from one end of the sky to the other end of the sky, densely packed, like a lush forest suddenly appeared on the embankment.
With a clatter, he grabbed the rein of the horse.The war horse suffered pain, stood upright, raised its neck and neighed.There was an ambush, and the Northern Xinjiang Army even had iron cavalry ambushing under the canal, waiting for him to die.be cheated.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw..." Clang opened his throat, and shouted hoarsely, "Quickly withdraw..."

All the Qiang people stopped their horses at the first moment, then turned their horses around, beat their horses and ran away.Just now, in order to chase and kill the Huns, the Qiang drove their horses and chased them for ten miles. Both the people and the horses were exhausted.

"Huho...huho..."

The northern frontier army roared like thunder, and [-] cavalry led by Pound, Tie Yue, Nie Xiao, and Bu Du Geng rushed down like a flood, accompanied by deafening roars. The flood devastated and trampled all the living beings on the field under the iron hooves and wiped them out.

Panting, Liu Ming and the Hun cavalry stopped their horses and turned to look at the battlefield.

The Qiang people lay on their horses one by one, pulling their horses fiercely, wishing they could fly away from this place of death in an instant.The blood filled the whole field, and the fear of death occupied their hearts, making them lose their courage and fighting spirit. All they could think about was fleeing, and the farther they could escape, the better.

The Northern Border Army was like a bloodthirsty beast, with its mouth wide open and sharp claws stretched out, roaring all the way, devouring its prey recklessly.

After a frantic gallop, Nie Xiao and Bu Dugeng led their troops to attack from the two wings and successfully encircled the Qiang people.Pang De and Tie Yue each led their armies like two sharp long arrows and rushed into the enemy's formation. They were unstoppable. For a while, the arrows flew across the sky, and the broken limbs and arms flew all over the sky. The Qiang people who had no power to fight back were bloody massacre.

"Go, go, kill..."

Liu Ming's blood boiled, and he punched the horse's back. The horse neighed loudly, leaped into the air, and galloped towards the battlefield like a wind and lightning.

The Huns cheered in unison, raised their weapons high, and roared to kill.

Langlang and Mosheng took the lead with their personal guards and rode out first. They tore through the siege of the Northern Frontier Army and fled towards the Weishui River with about 2000 people.

Pang De and Tie Yue led the army to chase after more than a mile and ordered to stop the pursuit.

"Why didn't you chase?" Nie Xiao asked angrily.He and his subordinates were originally Qiang people living in the Huangzhong area of ​​Jincheng, but since they were forced to leave Xiliang, Huangzhong was occupied by other Qiang tribes, and many of them became slaves of these tribes .Over the years, Nie Xiao has always wanted to return to Xiliang, return to his homeland, and rescue his people.Langlang is now the chief of the Huangzhong Qiang tribe, an enemy that Nie Xiao is sure to kill soon, so when he saw Pang De ordering to stop the pursuit, he was furious.

"This is just a small ambush, not a decisive battle. The battlefield of our decisive battle is Ten Thousand Years City ten miles away." Pound hurriedly explained, "We are about to rush to the battlefield to fight tens of thousands of enemies, so we need time. It takes a lot of stamina."

"Old Nie, if you want to return to Xiliang, you must first defeat Han Sui." Tie Yue persuaded, "Han Sui is not dead, Xiliang is his, you don't want to take a step."

Nie Xiao thought of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou who died, and those brothers who left their homes and died outside the Great Wall, and suddenly became angry, "Let's go, let's go to Wannian City..."
