Great Han Empire

Chapter 19 Rising Sun
After the Iron Wolf completed the encirclement of the enemy's left wing troops, he immediately ordered the soldiers to gather more troops, and launched an encirclement and annihilation battle against the encircled enemy soldiers in the southeast within the shortest possible time.Surround and annihilate part of them with superior forces.The intense hand-to-hand combat was brutal.The Iron Wolf took the lead, wielding his saber, fighting fiercely at the forefront.The soldiers were inspired, and all fought bravely to fight the enemy.

Duan Song knew that if the enemy's siege of Gongsun Hu could not be broken in time, their situation would be very critical.Once the casualties of Gongsun Hu's troops are exhausted, the enemies in the inner circle will turn around and attack them with all their strength.In this way, under the attack from inside and outside, the casualties must be heavy.Although there were only 1000 people on the right flank of the enemy who surrounded them, he can easily break out of the encirclement under his command now.But he wants to rescue Gongsun Hu and more than 200 soldiers.So he immediately ordered all the troops to tear open the enemy's inner circle first and rescue Gongsun Hu's troops at all costs.

The more than 600 soldiers were completely blinded, and they were not at all afraid of being surrounded by Duan Song's troops.The bloody massacre of Gongsun Hu and his subordinates on the soldiers of the Changlu tribe greatly stimulated the ferocious nature of the soldiers.They gritted their teeth and crazily charged Gongsun Hu's barrel defensive formation time and time again.

Gongsun Hu's horse had been shot, and he stood at the outermost edge of the team, brandishing a big axe, roaring non-stop, loudly commanding his subordinates to shoot, stabbing with spears, and fighting.At his feet, the corpses of the enemy soldiers he killed were piled up.But there are too many enemies, a few people surround one, if the front is not good, then the side, if the side is not good, shoot cold arrows between the people.By all means, killing one is one.

While Duan Song's troops were being attacked from behind, they also had to deal with the surprise attack of the inner circle of enemies, and at the same time organized people to break through the inner circle of encirclement. Everyone was entangled and in a hurry, but the results were minimal, and the losses continued to increase.Duan Song was angry.

Due to the insufficient number of enemies on the outermost periphery, there are only heavy troops in the front and rear of the central battlefield, while the troops on both sides are relatively weak.Ke Zui's arrangement was also a helpless move.In the case of equal numbers of people, we can only block the enemy's attack on the rear battalion of the army and prevent the enemy from retreating, the two most influential routes of action for the battle situation.As for the entanglement war, it is too late to be happy.

Duan Song keenly observed that there were fewer enemies on the right flank of the enemy's central army, and there was about fifty paces of space.This distance is just enough for the horse to run.So he took the lead and led several subordinates to run to the furthest distance.A few enemy riders ran over to block them.

He raised a knife with both hands and killed an enemy soldier who rushed up, and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Assemble, assemble, reorganize, reorganize!"

The horn soldiers raised their horns and blew fiercely, the sound was deafening.Seventy or eighty cavalry came galloping from different directions and stood in two rows with Duan Song.Duan Song didn't care about the long arrows and the approaching enemy cavalry, he pulled the reins hard, the horse suffered from pain, kicked forward high, and hissed angrily.Duan Song half leaned back on his horse, brandished his saber, and roared loudly: "Huho...huho..."

The soldiers were in high spirits, each of them regarded death as home, and echoed in unison, "Huho...huho..."

The horn soldiers blew the charge horn at the right time.

Duan Song let go of the rein, and the horse shot out like an arrow.Immediately, the sound of galloping horseshoes sounded again from a small corner of the battlefield.

Gongsun Hu has been working hard to find a breakthrough, ready to join Duan Song.Although the two armies were only fifty paces apart, they seemed to be separated by a mountain, and they couldn't get together no matter what.Gongsun Hu heard the horn sound of Duan Song's reorganization.He immediately understood that Duan Song was making a last-ditch effort.If the time dragged on, his army would not be saved, it was basically dead.

Gongsun Hu immediately shouted to his subordinates: "Move to the northeast." After the barrel formation persisted for more than half an hour, the enemy again took more than 100 lives.Although the enemy paid a higher price, it was a fatal blow to the heavily surrounded assault army.Under the leadership of Gongsun Hu, the remaining 160 people slowly turned their positions and approached the encirclement circle in the northeast direction.

The right-wing army of the Changlu tribe is obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem.Under the command of a commander, the instruction horn to narrow the encirclement was immediately sounded.The soldiers of the Changlu tribe obeyed the orders, immediately put their lives on the line, and once again rushed fiercely at the enemy soldiers in the encirclement.

Gongsun Hu clearly heard the charging horn blown by Duan Song's troops amidst the chaotic horns on the battlefield.Gongsun Hu looked excited and high-spirited, raised his big axe, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" He took the lead and ran on the battlefield.The soldiers without horses followed behind him, shouting and running, each with their weapons, marching forward without hesitation.The soldiers on the horse immediately launched an attack formation, guarding both sides of the soldiers on the ground, and rushed along with them.

Fifty steps, in the blink of an eye.Duan Song and the cavalry tried their best to make the horse reach a certain speed in various ways.It's not ideal, but it's more than enough.The soldiers of Changlu Tribe heard the sound of hoofbeats, turned around and saw the cavalry squad had rushed up, and turned their horses' heads to prepare for the battle. It was just a short moment.But it was too late to react, Duan Song and his subordinates had already raised their knives and chopped them down.The huge impact knocked half of the soldiers sitting on the horse flying, and the other half was killed by the murderous soldiers.

At the same time, Gongsun Hu's powerful ax descended from the sky, cut off half of an enemy soldier's head, and flew out with half of his shoulder. The soldiers behind him were like a group of bloodthirsty beasts waiting to be devoured. When the prey is caught, it generally swarms up.

Two ferocious troops were attacking one part almost at the same time.Faced with this kind of cruel massacre with blood splattering, flesh and blood flying, and broken limbs dancing in the air, the momentum of the enemy soldiers was immediately beaten down.Although the horns ordering to shrink and encircle in the ears continued to sound, but after a long period of fighting and confrontation, the soldiers were extremely tired, and it was difficult for them to face the bloody directly.

The gap is opened.Duan Song rode his horse past Gongsun Hu, and shouted hoarsely to the soldiers behind him: "Hit it hard, hit it hard..." The soldiers on both sides cheered at the same time, and under Duan Song's shout, they rushed to both sides again, trying to seize the opportunity to expand the results of the battle. , completely destroying the inner circle encirclement.At the same time, the sound of the horns sounded, notifying the soldiers who were fighting everywhere to gather at the gap, preparing to gather more force to kill the enemy soldiers in the inner circle in one fell swoop.

On the battlefield on the left wing, a loud and clear charge horn sounded suddenly.Iron Wolf led the soldiers to fight fiercely for a long time, and finally waited for the last chance to strike.They completely annihilated the enemy in the southeast encirclement.

Ke is most aware of the uncertain outcome of today's battle.The key to victory is on the Chinese battlefield.If the advantages of numbers are used to take the lead in annihilating the two troops of Gongsun Hu and Duan Song, at least 1000 troops can be mobilized to support the left-wing battlefield.On the left-wing battlefield, although Iron Wolf led his troops to wipe out a part of his own army, it also made his army extremely fatigued.As long as they rushed to the left-wing battlefield in the shortest time, they could wipe out the Iron Wolf's [-] troops.Ko is absolutely convinced of this.Even if it is a miserable victory, it must be fought.

The canine-toothed lines on the battlefield of the Chinese army are dazzling, and it is difficult to tell which part is the enemy and which part is our own.Ke Zui ordered the more than 200 former Chinese soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield, together with the remaining 200 logistics soldiers in the camp, to form a force and prepare to personally lead it to support the Chinese army on the battlefield.

But Queju's messenger told him: Your Excellency disagrees.

Ke almost screamed in the most pain.He wanted revenge so badly.And this opportunity is right in front of your eyes.One of Que Ju's subordinates took over the command.

Ke Zuo sat on the horse in a daze.Ke didn't know at all that Master Feng Lie of the Niutou tribe led an army of 5000 people and had been quietly lying in ambush on the hill behind for two days.

At this time, Que Ju had fallen out with Feng Lie.

Que Ju lay angrily on the grass, his hands and feet were tightly bound.Feng Lie thought he was noisy, so he ordered someone to grab a handful of grass from the ground and stuff it into his mouth.Seeing that he was still struggling angrily, Feng Lie waved to the guards behind him, "Hit me." Several strong men immediately rushed up, punching and kicking Que Ju.After a while, the Queju on the ground stopped moving.

At this time, a messenger ran up quickly.

"My lord, Mr. Ke Da committed suicide."

Feng Li was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again, "Good death, good death." He turned to his subordinates and shouted loudly, "Did you hear that? This is the fate of betraying the commander in chief. Today We're all going to die, we're all going to die!"

His men were stunned.

The situation on the battlefield is proceeding according to its inherent laws.Iron Wolf's troops were gathering strength again, ready to launch a second attack.Although Gongsun Hu and Duan Song tried their best to annihilate the enemy soldiers in the inner circle, they also put themselves in a desperate situation.They have no strength to break through.But they know that even if they can break through, they will not rush out.Because their task is to attack first, disrupt the enemy's position, hold the enemy back, and wait for the main force of the commander to arrive for the final encirclement and suppression.

Murong Feng led an army of [-] troops and appeared on the mountain three miles away from Jutun.

Tie Ao and Hou Li galloped out from their respective teams, and asked the commander if he had any explanation before dividing up the troops.

Murong Feng pondered for a while, then slowly said: "After you reach the northeast of Jutun, don't attack yet. If our [-] cavalry can solve the problem, you should save your energy and surround Helian's army first. If there is an abnormality, you can also be regarded as a surprise soldier, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Tie Ao and Hou Li agreed in unison, and rode away.The army then split into two groups, one going east and the other going west.

The closer they got to the battlefield, the clearer the sound of fighting became, and even the smell of blood floating in the air became stronger and stronger.

Murong Feng waved to the horn soldiers behind him, "Tell them we're here."

More than a dozen horn soldiers blew their huge horns at the same time. "Woo..., woo..., woo..."

The continuous loud sound suddenly surpassed the dense and noisy sound of horseshoes, and rushed straight into the sky.The bugle soldiers of the other troops heard the signal, followed behind by coincidence, and blew their horns.The neat and clear voice filled the entire open field for a while.

On the battlefield, Murong Feng's soldiers cheered in unison.But the soldiers of the Changlu tribe seemed panicked.

Feng Lie on the hill suddenly turned his head to look at the distant horizon, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.He looked back and shouted happily to his subordinates: "The troops line up and prepare to attack."
