Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 246 The Pioneer's Great Defeat
Fighting with weapons, cold light blends.

Amid the shouts, the soldiers of the Dalai Kingdom started a fierce battle with the enemies of the Xiongnu Kingdom.

Whether it is the fierce Huns or the tough Dalai people, they are all doing their best at this moment.

Swords and swords clang, gunpowder smoke billows thickly, and in the warm weather, the sound of swords and halberds keeps clanging, and it is impossible to tell whose spear has penetrated whose flesh, or whose bow and arrow has hit whom. human chest.The flying flesh and blood, the flying feathers and arrows, as well as crying and shouting, all interweave together to form the most tragic and song-composing song before Baiyun Pass.

"Boys! Hurry up!"

Huerhe pierced a Dalai soldier's chest with a square halberd, and the blood splashed on his face, hotting his cheeks.He laughed loudly, and only regarded the blood on his face as a trophy, licking the blood around his mouth majestically, showing a very fierce and ferocious expression.

"The frontier is the world of our Huns. Tell these pustules to see what a real bloody man is!"

After all, with a gesture, he ordered the cavalry behind to gallop forward, and the roaring jujube horse trampled over flesh and blood, and the Huns on horseback were like scythes for harvesting, letting everyone go wherever they went. Lai soldiers were flying with flesh and blood.

The two teams led by the generals of the left and right wings were in chaos under such a powerful attack by the Huns cavalry. It was too late to stop the sharp knives and halberds slashing in front of them. The laughter kept rising and falling.

Xia Qin, who was watching the battle from the top of the city tower, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. Seeing the elite soldiers of Dalai being slaughtered by the Xiongnu soldiers like livestock, those fierce Huns were getting closer and closer to the city gate. It is also ready, and with the Huns cavalry opening the way, they are approaching the city gate behind.

"how so."

Xia Tian gritted his teeth tightly, his lips turned white from extreme anger, and he slammed his fists heavily on the guardrail of the tower.

The Huns used only nearly a thousand cavalry to open the way, but in just half an hour, the left and right flanks had [-] soldiers each, totaling tens of thousands of people, and nearly one-third of them were beheaded by them!

"Report!" The summoned soldier hastily boarded the tower, and handed over to Xia Tianqin, "His Royal Highness, the right-wing army suffered heavy casualties, please withdraw!"

Xia Qin yelled and shouted: "Withdraw? You are eating the country's rice grains and taking the country's military pay. Now you are just mere Huns, so you are scared?!"

"Ke Ke!" Xiao Bing was tongue-tied in surprise, not understanding why Xia Qin would say such a thing at a time when life and death were at stake.

However, Xia Tian waved his sleeves and drank ferociously, without the slightest intention of agreeing to what he reported.

"Go and tell the right-wing general to lead his troops to defend the front line. If a Hun is let in, the crown prince wants them to look good!"

Xia Qin's unkind and ruthless fingers slammed on Xiaobing's face, he was just a small soldier, and he was not capable of fighting against the prince, even if he heard Xia Qin's words, he felt resentment in his heart, and he had to bow his head secretly Say yes, and then go back to the front to report to the right-wing general.

All the soldiers of the right-wing army were already on the verge of struggling. They thought they could receive an order from the superior to let them withdraw, but they didn't expect to receive the news that they were to stick to the front line, and they all felt cold in their hearts.However, the country's mission is on its shoulders, and the prince did not order them to withdraw, so they must not withdraw privately.

Seeing the Xiongnu soldiers approaching, they gritted their teeth and fought with flesh and blood.It’s just that the elite soldiers of Dalai are all from the inland hinterland, and they are really unskilled in such battlefield warfare, and the Huns attacked suddenly. At this time, they were killed by the Huns again, and they all felt fear in their hearts, and they did not dare to stop their movements, but those who were still trembling violently at the last moment were already pierced by the Huns with their spears the next moment. , blood spattered on the spot.

Another hour passed, and the battle line had moved from three hundred paces outside Baiyun Pass to only a few dozen paces, and there were fewer and fewer generals on the field.

Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Da Lai, Xia Qin is also very anxious, but the order he gave is still in his ears. If he changes the order rashly at this time, it may damage his reputation.

"Quickly, quickly, add another batch of rolling stones, wrap the kerosene behind the white-feathered arrows, and shoot the Huns out!"

He roared excitedly, the first time he presided over the battlefield, he didn't have any confidence in his heart, but if Dalai lost this battle, then Ming Shengdi would definitely put all the responsibilities on his head At that time, don't talk about gaining the trust and favor of Ming Shengdi, even he is not sure whether he will be able to keep his position as the crown prince.

Under Xia Qin's orders, the soldiers above the tower were throwing stones and shooting arrows in a hurry, while the Huns below the tower flexibly dodged and laughed loudly after avoiding the rolling stones thrown by the soldiers in a panic.

Huerhe laughed the loudest, he had already beheaded countless Dalai soldiers, and the crimson battle armor on his body was also dyed brighter and brighter by the blood.

"The elite soldiers of the Dalai Kingdom claim to be invincible and powerful against the three armies, but they are no more than mediocre in front of me, the Huns, hahaha! Come on, start now and break open the gate of Baiyun Pass. As long as you enter Baiyun Pass , all the way is smooth, and the cowards of Dalai will have nowhere to escape!"

As he spoke, he waved his vigorous hand forward, and saw the team that had been holding beech pillars moving forward steadily step by step. We must work together to smash the city gate.

At the same time, the promise made by Huerhe before also drove a group of soldiers with good climbing ability from the Huns to carry the climbing ladder net on the bricks and tiles of the city gate, pretending to climb on the net.

The situation was critical, and the soldiers tried their best to stop the Huns. The strong master soldiers guarding the city tower also hurriedly raised the sharp axes they had prepared earlier in the morning, and moved the climbing ladders that were continuously put on the bricks and tiles of the city tower one by one. Cleave and push down.

However, even if the city tower is tall and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, under such a fierce and continuous offensive, sooner or later the Huns with high morale will take the opportunity to break through.

General Huai was dying in a hurry. He had guarded Baiyun Pass for so many days. Although he was beaten terribly by the Huns, he had been fighting cautiously and guarded Baiyun Pass in the most conservative way, and he was not beaten by the Huns. Been to the city gate.

He thought that the prince would surely win the battle with 1 elite soldiers from Da Lai, but he didn't expect it to be even worse.The left and right wings sent out by the prince combined nearly 2000 people, and now it seems that there are not even [-] people left.

Not only was General Huai jumping anxiously, but Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing felt uneasy in their hearts. However, whenever they tried to dissuade Xia Qin, Xia Qin seemed to be putting on airs on purpose, thinking that he was the one in charge. Status suppresses their opinions and insists on their own way.

"Report! Right-wing general, request to retreat, only 5000 of [-] troops remain!"

"Report! Left-wing general, request to retreat, only 5000 of the [-] troops are left!"

The constant exclamation came to the city gate, mixed with the shouts of the Xiongnu soldiers below the city gate, which made Xia Qin's headache swollen.

"Useless things...all useless!"

He let out a loud roar, his eyes were wide open, he knew in his heart that he was in a hurry to succeed and made a mistake, but he didn't want to admit it, instead he blamed the fault on the soldiers for their ineffectiveness in fighting.

"His Royal Highness! Let everyone withdraw!" General Huai said with a mournful face, seeing the Huns getting more and more excited while fighting, while the soldiers of Dalai became more and more frightened. If this continues, the whole army will be wiped out!

"Wars are not fought like this. The elite soldiers have been exhausted all the way, and they are already holding on to fight against the Xiongnu soldiers. If they continue to fight, Your Highness, Your Highness! They will not be able to hold on!"

"How dare you accuse the prince!" Xia Qin himself was anxious, but he couldn't listen to others talking about him. He thought that General Huai was just a petty official, but dared to question her orders, which made him lose face. It was really hateful.

Huerhe at the bottom of the tower laughed wildly, and his beard trembled with the laughter.

"Oh? It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dalai. Tsk tsk, I never imagined that the brave and fearless Emperor Xia Zhong of Dalai would give birth to such a useless prince. The mere two flanking troops were sent out to try to stop us Huns. You send out all the elite soldiers brought by Da Lai, maybe this general will still be afraid, but it is too late, with the help of you, the crown prince, I think this general will be able to win even more, hahaha!"

His raging laughter angered Xia Qin, Xia Qin's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear his majesty being provoked by a little Hun general. Besides, if these words reached Ming Shengdi's ears, Ming Shengdi I still don't know what to think of him.

"The Xiongnu dog thief. Don't be rampant! If the crown prince doesn't show you some color, do you really think our Dalai soldiers are vegetarians!"

He snapped back, knowing that the situation was urgent, if he did not use extraordinary measures, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xia Qin pushed away a soldier who was shooting arrows one after another, snatched the bow and arrow by himself, lit it with kerosene, searched the ground and shot towards the place where Huerhe was standing under the tower.

The rocket swished past Huerhe's side and landed on the horse's hooves. Xia Tianqin smiled coldly and said in a pretentious manner: "Come here! The whole army is assembled, and [-] elite soldiers will go out to fight against the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huerhe's brows moved, with an intriguing smile.
