Chapter 552 Xiazhou Destroys the Enemy
The [-] Donghu people fled westward rapidly, followed by hundreds of thousands of troops chasing them. Such a scene was truly spectacular.

Qin Yuanhao led [-] capable cavalrymen and kept chasing after the Donghu people.While the rest of the rangers gradually caught up with the Donghu cavalry relying on their light horses.One after another, cold arrows flew into the enemy army continuously, along the way, the corpses of Donghu people were scattered all over the field.

But at this time, the Donghu people didn't care about fighting back. They just wanted to rush to the Xiashui River as soon as possible and escape into the desert. As long as they could cross the Xiashui, the Hengshan Army could do nothing to them.

However, it is hundreds of miles away to go to Xiashui.If you can't get rid of Hengshan behind you, you can't reach it no matter what.

Wu Nusutu had no choice but to lead a team to kill Qin Yuanhao.

The two armies confront each other and win or lose.Qin Yuanhao couldn't bear the heavy losses of the cavalry, so after fighting for a while, he led the troops to retreat temporarily.

With this gap, the Donghu people hurried on their way immediately, both sides were exhausted after chasing each other.After a tacit rest for a period of time, the chase started again.

The next day, Xia Shui finally appeared in front of the Donghu people. Everyone cheered and immediately urged the horses to cross the pontoon bridge and escape.However, when they rushed to the bank of the Xiashui River, they discovered that the two thousand soldiers stationed on both sides of the river had disappeared, and the worst thing was that dozens of pontoon bridges that had been placed had been demolished.Looking at the Xiashui, which has risen sharply after the snow melts, almost all Donghu people are in despair.

At this time, the pursuers also arrived. Qin Yuanhao led tens of thousands of cavalry, and tightly surrounded the Donghu people on the bank, staring at them.

At this time, there were only more than [-] Donghu people left. The front road was destroyed, and the back road was blocked. No, the back road was simply a dead end.

Wu Nusutu looked at the surrounding enemy with a ferocious face, pulled Zhou He over, and shouted sharply: "Hurry up and think of a way, what should we do now?"

Zhou He's face was already gloomy at this time, and he said with a wry smile: "General, now our army is in a desperate situation. Apart from crossing this river by force, it is to fight the enemy to the death. Apart from this, there is no other way."

"How about crossing the river, and what about fighting to the death?" Unusutu frowned. These two roads are dead ends no matter how you look at them.

"To tell you the truth, general, if we cross the river, our army will have to abandon at least half of our troops in order to escape." Zhou He shook his head slightly, "As for the battle to the death, we can only hope that the enemy's fighting spirit is weak and they can be defeated. However, From the current point of view, it is too difficult to defeat the enemy army on the opposite side."

"Then you mean to forcibly cross the river?" Unusutu showed hesitation on his face, "Although it is March now, the water temperature is still cold. If our army fords the river, I am afraid that few people will be able to go ashore. gone."

"General, then we will fight to the death, deal with them here, and at the same time send people to rebuild the pontoon bridge." Zhou He's eyes showed determination.

Wunusutu pondered for a moment, nodded heavily and said, "That's the only way to go."

Immediately, Wu Nusutu led [-] cavalry to attack Qin Yuanhao's position.

Seeing this, Qin Yuanhao couldn't help but sneer, wanting to do his best?It's a pity that the initiative is no longer in your hands at this time. "The whole army retreats, don't confront the enemy head-on, the rangers continue to harass and drag them down!"

I saw the Hengshan cavalry retreating backwards on horseback, keeping a distance from the Donghu people.And a large number of rangers around, like a swarm of bees, scurry back and forth on the battlefield, their arrows staggered, and fell into the Donghu army.

Wunusutu ignored the rangers around him at all, and firmly bit the tail of Qin Yuanhao's subordinate.It is convenient for both parties to go around in circles within ten miles near the river bank.

At this time, on the east bank of Xiashui, Zhou He was commanding thousands of Donghu people to rush to build the pontoon bridge, intending to open up a way of life before the Hengshan army encircled them.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and both parties seemed to be waiting for something, and they chased after each other with a tacit understanding.

At this moment, a thin black shadow appeared in the east direction, stretching endlessly.Unusutu was horrified when he saw it, and knew that it was the other party's 10 horses rushing in, so he didn't dare to entangle with the Hengshan cavalry any more, and quickly withdrew his troops and returned to the river bank.

When Unusutu returned to the shore, he immediately found Zhou He and asked anxiously, "Master Zhou, how are the preparations for the floating bridge going?"

"General, it's almost over." Zhou He was also anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

"Speed ​​up, the opponent's army is coming." Unusutu couldn't help urging.

"General, the pontoon bridge will take about half an hour to complete." Zhou He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "In the meantime, general, please persevere."

Wunusutu opened his mouth to reprimand, but seeing the panic on Zhou He's face, he knew that he had tried his best.He couldn't help but sighed, and returned to command the army to stand firm here.

It didn't take long before they could only hear the sound of horns in the east, and then they saw overwhelming crowds rushing towards them.In a short time, the east bank of Xiashui was surrounded on three sides, leaving only the area occupied by the Donghu people.

All the Donghu people were terrified, and couldn't help regretting why they entered Xiazhou. Not only were all the looted things discarded, but their lives were also confessed here. Panic began to spread in the army formation.

At this moment, Zhou He hurried over and said excitedly: "General, the pontoon bridge has been built, retreat before they attack."

Unusutu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he wished he could look up to the sky and laugh out loud, as the sky never stops waiting for me. "Then what are you waiting for, retreat immediately! After the general leads [-] cavalry, you lead the rest of the troops across the pontoon bridge as soon as possible."

"Yes, General, you must also be careful. If it really doesn't work, you have to abandon your pawns to protect your commander." Zhou He nodded and hurriedly instructed.

Unusutu nodded slightly, "I know what to do, you can go now."

Soon, countless Donghu people were overjoyed when they learned that the pontoon bridge had been completed, and they wished they could rush across the Xiashui and return safely.Fortunately, under Zhou He's strong pressure, the Donghu people did not become chaotic and began to pass the pontoon bridge in an orderly manner.

At this time, the Hengshan Army also discovered this situation, Qin Yuanhao's face remained unchanged, and he waved his hand calmly, "Attack!"

"Kill!" All the cavalry took the lead and charged towards the Donghu people without reservation.The infantry that followed did not maintain their formation any longer, and rushed forward as they spread their feet.

The crazy actions of the Hengshan army immediately made the Donghu people panic.The people who were stuck behind and couldn't pass the pontoon bridge began to get anxious, and kept urging the people in front to hurry over.From time to time, people fell into the water as you pushed and shoved, and the situation began to slowly deteriorate.

Unusutu swallowed his saliva after being broken. With so many enemies, how can he hold on?Not only did he think so, but the 1 men under him also had this question mark in their hearts.

Soon, more than 1 Hengshan regular cavalry slammed into the Donghu people's defense line and kept breaking into the formation.With just this one blow, the entire Donghu defense line immediately collapsed. The Donghu cavalry had long since withdrawn from the battle, turning around and rushing towards the pontoon bridge.However, there are so many people ahead, how can they pass Xiashui?As a result, the Donghu people in the back felt a hatred in their hearts, and began to draw their swords to face each other, slashing and killing the comrades who blocked them in front.

After a while, the entire East Bank of Xiashui was in chaos.However, something that made the Donghu people even more desperate happened. When thousands of Donghu cavalry passed through the pontoon bridge, they thought they had escaped from the siege.Then they heard a horn sounding from the west, and a cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them.

Wu Nusutu was fighting to the edge of the pontoon bridge. Hearing the exclamation from the other side, he couldn't help but look up, and saw the Hengshan Army all over the mountains and plains also appearing on the west bank.

"It's over!" The knife in Wu Nusutu's hand suddenly softened, and his eyes were full of despair.
