Great Han Empire

Chapter 239 The situation changes suddenly
Yicheng battlefield.

Ximen, Nie Xiao's cavalry and Han Sui's army were fighting fiercely.

The battle at the South Gate has come to an end.Ma Teng's iron cavalry swept through Fu Xie's army like the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and now he is reorganizing the army.The former army in Wudu suffered heavy casualties due to the attack by Fu Xie and the trampling of Ma Teng's cavalry. The surviving soldiers were helping the wounded on the battlefield.At this time, Wudu led more than 8000 soldiers of the Chinese army and the rear army to rush to the battlefield in the east.More than 1 people in the kingdom have packed their bags and are ready to evacuate at any time.

On the battlefield of the East Gate, the fighting was extremely fierce.Under the command of Xian Yufu, the infantry phalanx of the Han army has become an inverted shape and is struggling to advance.June Jinglei's Chinese army began to move westward, intending to occupy the withdrawal route.In front of the phalanx, some Qiang cavalry were still attacking fiercely under the command of the small Qu commanders of various ministries, while another part of the Qiang had quickly withdrawn from the battle after discovering the Han cavalry.Li Hong, Heng Ji, and She Yingtong each led an army of [-], and shot towards the battlefield at high speed like three long arrows roaring.

When Luo Tuo and Baili Yang led their troops to join the attack formation, Han Sui's defensive formation was severely hit, and the most advanced triple spear formation was completely broken through.At the critical moment, Liang Xing and Ma Wan led their cavalry to flank the Qiang people in Huangzhong from both flanks of the army, forcing them to temporarily slow down their frenzied impact on the front of the army.After Han Sui got a chance to breathe, he immediately regrouped his pawns and formed a new formation to resist tenaciously. At the same time, he mobilized all the people who could take up bows and arrows, including himself, to concentrate on the back of the phalanx and shoot intensively. Liang Xing and Ma Wan on the two wings The cavalry squads take turns to attack, frequently disturbing and flanking the enemy.The Qiang and Baohan people in Huangzhong gathered in front of Han Sui's battle formation and only focused on attacking violently. As a result, they suffered heavy losses and achieved little success.

Xiaoqushuai Guzhen died from an arrow during the attack.After Nie Xiao got the news, he became even more angry.He ordered his men to blow the horn of charge and attack the enemy with all their strength.

Baili Yang rushed over in a hurry and stopped Nie Xiao who was about to go into battle with a knife himself.

"Old Nie, if we continue to fight like this, we will suffer too many casualties. The defensive formation Han Sui laid down is very strong. The enemy soldiers are not in a hurry, they advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and their attack and defense are well organized. Look at us instead, commanding a It was chaotic. Everyone was red-eyed, and all they knew was that they were swarming to the death. The soldiers surrounded Han Sui's battle formation, and were shot and killed by them like targets. Old Nie, don't fight too hard."

Nie Xiao stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and couldn't listen at all. He yelled loudly and waved his saber to charge forward himself.Pang De grabbed his horse's rein and loudly dissuaded him, "Qu Shuai, calm down. Everyone is dead, how can we take revenge? Baili Qu Shuai is right, if we continue fighting like this, we will lose too much .Once our numerical advantage is gone, how can we encircle Han Sui? If we can’t encircle Han Sui, Han Sui will escape.”

When Nie Xiao heard that Han Sui was going to escape, he seemed very nervous and calmed down a little.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Nie Xiao pointed at Baili Yang and shouted.

"Temporarily stop the attack." Baili Yang said, "First withdraw the army, out of the bow and arrow range of Han Sui's army. Then we reorganized the formation, pretended to attack his central phalanx with some troops, and attacked him with the main cavalry the two wings of the phalanx, trying to tear his defenses from the flanks of the phalanx."

Nie Xiao nodded repeatedly.Baili Yang's words awakened Nie Xiao, who was in the middle of a frantic killing, at the right time.

Without any hesitation, he pointed his sword at the bugle soldiers and shouted loudly: "Order the troops to withdraw immediately, all of them."

"Rearrange the queue..."

Nie Xiao patted Pang De's shoulder gratefully, then looked at Baili Yang and said with a smile: "You are getting better and better at fighting, so why don't you take command."

Baili Yang spat bitterly and cursed: "After fighting for so many years, I haven't made any progress."

Han Sui saw that the Qiang people retreated like a tide, and immediately ordered the army to retreat gradually.

Sheyingtong, Shehu and Tongzi brought four thousand cavalry down in one fell swoop, like a broken bamboo.

Northwest Rain and Snow Mountain Fox had led the army to attack continuously for a long time. Not only were the soldiers seriously injured, but they were also very tired, unable to resist the frenzy at all.The cavalry of the Han army came suddenly and quickly, and the Qiang people had no time to retreat even if they wanted to retreat.The Qiang people blew the horn to meet the enemy and fought in panic.The two sides met and immediately started a bloody fight.After a short time, the Qiang people gradually fell into a disadvantage, unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Xianbei people and the Xiliang frontier army, and began to move closer to the Chinese army that was thundering in June.

Xibeiyu retreated slowly surrounded by a group of personal guards.Tongzi saw the Northwest Rain from a distance, and shouted excitedly: "That's the Northwest Rain. Everyone surround it, surround it..."

"Kill him..." Tongzi kicked the horse fiercely, leading a group of soldiers to chase after him.

"Kill Xibeiyu..." The shouts became more and more intense, and the Han riders on the battlefield were immediately refreshed, and each of them strode forward with all their might.

Sheyingtong rushed forward with a few Xianbei warriors, and they rushed into Xibeiyu's personal guards in front of the tube.Xibeiyu didn't want to love to fight, so he patted his horse and retreated hastily.Sheyingtong's long spear flew flying, killing several people in a row, invincible, and the warriors under his command were brave and good at fighting, unstoppable.They are getting closer and closer to the northwest rain.

The bobbin flies to kill.

"Shoot him... shoot him..." Zhizi leaned over to take out the short crossbow from the leather pouch on the side of the horse, and yelled loudly at his personal guards.In fact, without him shouting, a dozen bodyguards were already holding short crossbows and aiming at Xibeiyu who was galloping ahead.

"Let it go..." With the roar of the tube, dozens of small crossbow arrows flew out at the same time.The Qiang soldiers who were following Xibeiyu immediately fell down in large numbers.Northwest Yu looked back and saw that he was about to burst into tears.He shouted angrily, and turned his horse back to fight again.At this time, the guards around him rushed over, grabbed his horse, surrounded him and accelerated his retreat.

She Yingtong was in a hurry, he was worried that Xibeiyu would escape, so in a hurry, he roared and threw his spear at Xibeiyu's back with all his might.The spear flew at high speed in the air like a dragon soaring into the sky, making a thrilling roar.

Just as Xibeiyu heard the terrified exclamation of his guards, he saw a long spear rushing out of his chest, and it went straight into the neck of the war horse without losing its strength.Xibeiyu's eyes widened, and he looked at the long spear piercing through his chest in disbelief. There were still a few bright red shreds of meat stuck to the long bloody spear, and the tip of the spear was stuck in the horse's neck, still shaking.Xibeiyu was surprised to find that she didn't feel any pain.He opened his mouth wide and let out a half-wail, before suddenly dying.

The angry roar of the Qiang soldiers almost covered the din on the battlefield. In their grief and indignation, they killed with all their strength, and they wanted to avenge their leader.Tongzi's saber fluttered, killing three Qiang soldiers quickly. Blood splashed all over his face, cheeks, neck and body.Zhizi wiped his face vigorously, turned his head and shouted wildly: "Kill...kill them..."

Sheyingtong became the target of all Qiang people.His war horse fell to the ground, and his whole body was shot like a hedgehog. She Yingtong was thrown to the ground, rolling and crawling desperately to avoid the incoming spears and arrows, in a panic.He picked up a spear casually, flew to assassinate a Qiang soldier who was rushing on a flying horse, and then turned over and jumped on the enemy's horse, roaring loudly: "Northwest Yu is dead, Northwest Yu is dead... Brothers, kill..."

In an instant, the roar was like a tide, and the cry of Xibei Yu's death resounded across the battlefield.

Xueshanhu led a group of Shaodang Qiang soldiers to besiege and kill Xianbei people. The two sides were entangled and chaotic.Suddenly, the cry of Xibeiyu's death reached his ears. The Snow Mountain Fox was taken aback, and unconsciously raised his head to look at the battlefield to his left, where Xibeiyu's army was fighting.He saw that the battle flag of Xibeiyu had fallen, and the frontier cavalry from Xiliang and a group of Kuntou Xianbei were besieging and killing the Sanlang and Qiang soldiers.Then he saw the northwest rain.Xibeiyu was nailed to death on his horse with a single shot, and the horse he was sitting on seemed to be exhausted, carrying him staggeringly on the chaotic battlefield.

Shehu has long been eyeing the Snow Mountain Fox.He took a few sharpshooters to hide behind the sudden soldiers and shot wantonly. At this time, he saw the snow mountain fox looking up and left, completely forgetting to be on guard, and he was overjoyed.Shehu turned the aiming direction of the strong bow in his hand without hesitation, aimed at him and shot an arrow. "Shoot the Snow Mountain Fox to death... shoot him to death..." Shehu's cry hadn't ended yet, several sharpshooters around had already heard the sound and raised their bows, and several long arrows flew out in response.

Seeing that Xibei Yu was really dead, Xueshan Fox was furious, his fingers cracked, he suddenly turned his head, raised his knife and shouted wildly: "Kill...", but he fell silent halfway through the shout.He saw a long arrow suddenly appearing in front of his eyes, so close that he couldn't avoid it. He didn't react at all, and he didn't even have the thought of dodging in his mind. He just watched the long arrow pass through his throat , I heard a dull "噗嗤..." the sound of an arrow piercing through the flesh.Then, five long arrows pierced his chest in no particular order.

The snow mountain fox turned over and fell off the horse.

The two leaders of the big species of Qiang died in battle, which shocked the Qiang people and dealt a fatal blow to the sturdy Qiang people.The Qiang people immediately launched a round of almost crazy counterattack. The Fengyun cavalry who had been killed at one time were a bit overwhelmed. The Qiang people's revenge was too violent.But after a long time, the strength of the Qiang people gradually decreased, while the spirit of the Han knights rose, and the Fengyun cavalry immediately launched a more fierce counterattack.The sound of killing is wild.

The fighting in front of the phalanx became more and more fierce.

Zhou Yi, the military officer who had just come up for support, was picked up by the spears of the Qiang people, and his body was thrown into the distance.Yuan Shao fell into the siege of the Qiang people, bloody all over his body, fighting endlessly.He completely forgot about life and death, and the anger of hatred made him lose his mind. He roared, howled, and led the soldiers to fight bravely.

Sirius came back suddenly with a group of soldiers. He wanted to take revenge on the Han people, and he wanted to kill all the Han people.Unprepared, Yuan Shao and his men were trampled and shot by the rushing Qiang people, leaving many casualties.Just as Yuan Shao cut off the enemy's spear with his long sword, he saw the galloping horse stretch its hooves, and a pair of strong front legs kicked towards him in the air.Yuan Shao's blood-red eyes widened, he let out a desperate howl, and stabbed the angry horse with the long sword in his hand.

A bloody saber fell from the sky.Yan Liang grabbed Yuan Shao's chest armor and threw him high, at the same time, he chopped off the horse's retreat viciously with the saber in his right hand.

Yuan Shao fell heavily to the ground, almost spitting blood.Several soldiers rushing up from behind dragged Yuan Shao upside down and ran towards the phalanx.

The horse hissed and fell.Immediately, the knight rolled down, raised his tomahawk and chopped at Yan Liang who was flying towards him.Yan Liang held the saber in both hands, his tongue was bursting with spring thunder, and let out a roar that shook the sky. The saber struck down with the force of thunder, splitting the Qiang man with an ax in two.

"Qu Shuai... Qu Shuai..." The Qiang cavalry who followed closely exclaimed at the same time, shouting to kill, "Kill the big man, kill that big man..."

"Kill him...kill...dead...he..."

Dozens of long arrows and spears flew towards Yan Liang at the same time.After Yan Liang killed someone, he didn't even know how to use his head, and ran back like desperately. He kept yelling loudly and ran with all his might.The shield soldiers in front of the phalanx suddenly opened a passage, Yan Liang roared, jumped up, and flew into the formation. Almost instantly, two shields were lifted up, blocking the passage again.

"噗嗤...咻咻...咚咚..." All the long arrows and spears hit the shield, and several shield soldiers were pierced by the spears passing through the shield, and they were nailed to the ground alive.

The battle intensified.

Xian Yufu saw that the Qiang people in front of the phalanx could no longer withstand the attack of Fengyun cavalry, and were retreating step by step.The place of engagement of the cavalry of both sides has been moved to the front of the center of the phalanx.Now the battlefield directly in front of the left wing of the phalanx is empty except for the blood-stained remains of dead bodies.

Xian Yufu nodded with great satisfaction.

"Order Xu Rong, Xian Yuyin, and Yan Rou to disband the phalanx immediately, push westward with all their strength, join the cavalry, and block Qiang Hu's retreat."

=

June Jinglei looked at the battlefield, anxious.

Leopard Li Hong's cavalry is now fighting with Niujiao and Lei Wa's army in the center of the battlefield, showing signs of approaching his own army.

On the side and rear of the battlefield, Leopard Li Hong's other army of dark-headed cavalry rushed quickly to block his retreat, and now he was engaged in a bloody battle with his subordinate Heishi.

Northwest Rain, Snow Mountain Fox, and Sirius died in battle one after another. The battle flags of the three major Qiangs have all fallen. Fortunately, the battle flags of the Xianling Qiang Kuangfengsha are still flying on the battlefield.Kuang Fengsha led various Qiang soldiers who were being besieged by Han infantry and cavalry. The fierce battle was in full swing, and it was impossible to withdraw immediately.But how long can he last like this?If Kuangfengsha's army is defeated and his Baima Qiang soldiers fail to hold the retreat route, the entire Qianghu army will be surrounded.

"Commander, the Han infantry has moved." Mu Dan, the leader of his personal guard, screamed.

June Jinglei looked away in horror.

The left-wing phalanx of the Han army suddenly dispersed, and the infantry of the Han army moved westward rapidly in an attacking formation. Obviously, they wanted to rush to their side and rear, join the Fengyun cavalry, and complete the encirclement of themselves.

"Marshal, the Han people are going to surround us." Mu Dan cried anxiously, "Marshal, let's retreat quickly."

June Jinglei looked in the direction of the south gate.

"Did that old man run away?" June Jinglei mocked, "It's such a small road, even if you climb it, you will come."

"I haven't seen anyone for such a long time, and nine out of ten are scared away. Don't count on support, Commander."

June Jinglei smiled coldly and said, "The leopard wants to eat us, it's wishful thinking."

"Order Heishi, resolutely block those Kuntou Karasuma people, and don't let the Karasuma people join the Han Chinese infantry."

"Order all ministries not to engage in battle, and withdraw from the battlefield immediately."

"The Chinese army is moving rapidly westward, preparing to evacuate."

=

Wu Du had already seen the battlefield where the roar of killing sounded, and saw the cavalry speeding to and fro on the battlefield, he shouted excitedly: "Quick, go at full speed, go at full speed..."

The [-] soldiers were divided into two armies, the front and the rear, and they ran for four miles, already out of breath.

Hengji shook his head repeatedly as he looked at the enemy troops coming to support him from Nancheng.

"Order the army to speed up the attack, attack with all its strength..."

"Blow the horn, blow the horn, and let Master Xianyu know that the enemy's reinforcements are coming up, let the pawns support us immediately."

=

Xian Yufu suddenly heard the horn of Hengji's army.

He laughed and said to the attendants beside him, "The support from the rebels is late."

He turned his head to look at the infantry running fast on the left flank of the battlefield, and said loudly, "Order Xu Rong and Xian Yuyin's troops to get out of the way immediately, and let Yan Rou's troops go there first to stop the enemy's reinforcements."

The troops of Xu Rong and Xian Yuyin were attacked by the Qiang cavalry, so the army suffered a lot of losses, and the soldiers were also very tired.On the contrary, Yan Rou's tribe, who had been hiding behind Yushi and Yanliang's phalanx, was not attacked by the Qiang people, so there were few casualties and the soldiers were very energetic.Xian Yufu put them at the back of the phalanx, with the intention of being able to use them at critical moments.Now is the critical moment.

The task of Xu Rong and Xian Yuyin was mainly to set up formations on the south side of the battlefield to prevent the Qiang people from breaking out.Xu Rong and Xian Yufu heard the drumbeat and saw the command flag, and immediately ordered their soldiers to make way for Yan Rou's army.Yan Rou ordered the soldiers to discard all the giant weapons, to advance lightly, and run at full speed.

=

Niujiao of Baima Qiang and Lei Wa commanded the cavalry to withstood the fierce attack of Black Panther Yicong, temporarily blocking Li Hong's army in the center of the battlefield.

Kuangfengsha's army couldn't get rid of the attack of the Han army. They were trapped on the battlefield and couldn't move an inch.At this time, the center and right wing of the infantry phalanx of the Han army had to entangle the enemy and fight, so the formation gradually stretched and could no longer be maintained.Xian Yufu made a decisive decision and immediately ordered all the formations to disband and attack at will.Qu Yi organized fifty small assault formations and quickly rushed towards Qianghu, while Yan Liang's and Yushi's two phalanxes had suffered heavy losses, so the soldiers simply dispersed and swarmed forward.The battlefield is full of desperate Han people, Kuntou Hu people, and they are in groups of three or four, besieging and killing Qiang Hu people everywhere.In this chaotic situation, Kuangfengsha and various Qiang people could not withdraw even if they wanted to.

June Jinglei ordered categorically: "We will not wait for Kuangfengsha and other Qiang troops, we will withdraw immediately..."

"Order Niujiao, Lei Wa, fight and retreat, and move closer to the Chinese army."

"Order Heishi to stop Karasuma at all costs."

"The Chinese army retreats, retreat immediately."

=

Xian Yufu saw that the thunderbolt in June suddenly moved westward rapidly, and knew that he was going to retreat with the main force of Baima Qiang.Seeing that Hengji's cavalry army was still entangled with the Qiang people, he shouted anxiously: "What's the matter with Hengji? Why can't the enemy be defeated and encircled quickly?"

"Leigu... Tell Hengji that June Jinglei is about to run away, so he immediately leads his troops to encircle and block Qianghu."

He pointed at the pawns who were still galloping on the left-wing battlefield, and shouted wildly: "Order Yan Rou to go faster, faster."

"Tell Li Zhonglang to immediately take Black Panther Yi Cong and Fist's army to storm the enemy's central army, June Jinglei is about to run away."

"Quick... quick..."

The drums soared into the sky.

=

Heng Ji's head was about to explode when he heard the urging drums beating one higher than the other.

He saw Wudu's army getting closer, and Wudu's battle flag was clearly visible.He turned his head to look at the battlefield, Yan Rou's army was galloping.

The roar on the battlefield suddenly became louder. It was the Chinese cavalry of Jinglei in June starting to start.

"Blow the horn, blow the horn, kill with all your strength, kill..."

=

Niujiao led the soldiers to resist hard, and Lei Wa began to retreat slowly.

The bull's horn was shot under the horse by Zhao Yun, who was passing by the flying horse. He jumped up and stood up to fight again. The tomahawk screamed and killed three people in a row.Immediately he saw the murderous arc tripod.Hu Ding galloped forward, and the huge mace hit head-on, smashing the horns to death.

The Black Panther Yicong was extremely sharp and unstoppable. Under the leadership of Li Hong, they quickly trampled down the horned cavalry and rushed towards Lei Wa's army.Lei Wa didn't expect Niujiao to be defeated in an instant, so she had no choice but to turn around and fight again.Li Hong danced wildly with his steel gun, and when he raised his hand, Lei Wa's spear flew away. As the two horses staggered, Li Hong pulled out his saber from behind with lightning speed, and slashed his head.Lei Wa didn't believe that such a quick knife existed in the world until she died.

=

Lu Huanyang and Lou Lu led their personal guards to kill the center of the enemy formation with difficulty and surrounded the black stone.The two sides fought bloody hand to hand.Several of Lu Huanyang's men finally cut down Heishi's horse before they died, knocked Heishi to the ground, and hacked him to death.The Qiang's blocking cavalry fell apart and broke into an army.

Hengji led the Karasuma people and finally succeeded in closing the siege when June Jinglei was about to arrive.

=

June Jinglei watched helplessly as his cavalry was killed by the Karasuma people and surrounded by the Han army.His heart suddenly beat violently, and he felt a little uneasy.At this moment, he saw Wudu's battle flag rushing into the battlefield.June Thunder laughed.

"Order all the ministries to attack the Karasuma people with all their strength and break through as soon as possible."
