Great Han Empire

Chapter 74 Yanzhao Fengyun

Chapter 74 Yanzhao Fengyun
Murong seemed to be insane, there was a sound of wind and thunder between the swings of the saber, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Xiaolan's spear suddenly shot out from the crowd, like an arrow piercing a stone, and pierced Murong Ji's waist at an unimaginable speed.Murong Ji was engrossed, and was trying his best to defuse the three sabers coming at him, but he was totally unprepared for a plain iron spear that came quietly.

Murong Ji parried a knife, dodged a knife, and then chopped off his head with a knife. Like lightning, a Han soldier was knocked off his horse.At this moment, the spear pierced Murong Ji's waist.

Murong Ji's excited roar immediately turned into a beast-like howl.

Taking advantage of his distraction, the two Han soldiers surrounding him drew out their swords together and stabbed into Murong Ji's chest at the same time.Blood spurted out.

Murong Ji's yelling stopped abruptly. He opened his eyes in disbelief, fixedly staring at the long knife in front of his chest, and died out of breath.

Before the two soldiers could make any further moves, Murong Ji's guards had already rushed towards him frantically.The saber flew and the roar was like thunder. The two people were immediately divided into corpses by the chaotic knife. Even the horse that sat down was implicated and died unexpectedly.Immediately, Zheng Xin and Xiaolan led more people towards Murong Ji's bodyguards and killed them all.

Yushi's big iron halberd pierced fiercely into the enemy's back. Before he could draw out his weapon, a cold arrow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.With a roar, Yushi threw away the halberd, kicked his legs hard towards the horse's belly, leaned over and rolled down from the horse's buttocks.A few enemy soldiers surrounding the area rushed over like wolves and tigers, their sabers aimed at the rolling jade stones on the ground from all directions and chopped off their heads and faces.

The cavalry who followed had no time to react, and the horses brushed against Yushi's body and jumped over.

Seeing that Yushi was in danger, Yan Wuwei was very anxious. He was eager to save people, and immediately started his skillful riding skills, forcing his horse to leap across at a high speed, and directly crashed into the surrounding enemies.

Yushi was in a panic, and his helmet fell off.He scrambled to his feet and pulled out his saber.

Yan Wuwei's war horse slammed into the two of them viciously, and then the tall body of the war horse lost its balance, flying obliquely and fell to the ground.Yan Wuwei, who was on horseback, jumped up swiftly and escaped the fate of being overwhelmed by the horse, but then fell into the siege of the enemy.

Yushi and other soldiers were killed almost at the same time.

Murong Invasion led the soldiers to fight to the death. After withstood the first round of sharp attacks from the big Han cavalry, the soldiers around him were basically all killed.Those who did not die were also scarred, making it difficult to fight again.There is no way for flesh and blood to resist the cavalry of the Han army rushing like a flood.

"Withdraw...Quickly withdraw..." Murong Jin yelled loudly, and ran to the depths of the plain first.Behind him, a dozen Xianbei soldiers who had escaped from the charge rode crookedly on their horses, trying their best to keep up with them.

Huzi and his subordinates hurriedly turned their horses' heads, roaring, like a mad buffalo, chasing after them.

Suddenly a group of men and horses rushed out of the diagonal stab, and quickly shot at Murong Jin and his group of deserters, blocking them firmly.Murong Invasion panicked and didn't choose a path, and in desperation, he stabbed the horse's rear with a knife, trying to rely on the pain-crazed horse to forcefully rush out of the Han army's ground to intercept him.A cavalryman of the Han army who was galloping at high speed was the first to bear the brunt of being hit by a man and a horse. The man flew into the air and was thrown like a stone, and the horse fell to the ground.

Murong Jin's war horse was also beaten to the point of bleeding, neighing in pain, but this made it even more crazy.Its huge body stagnated for a while, and then jumped up again.

The stake roared angrily, he almost lost his mind and rolled off the galloping horse, and threw the big ax in his hand at Murong Jin's mount with shaking hands.The shining ax spun rapidly in mid-air, drawing a strange arc. The breathtaking howling was drowned in the huge and noisy killing on the battlefield, and no one noticed its existence.

Like a bloodthirsty ghost, it suddenly showed a ferocious face, ruthlessly caressed the right hind leg of the war horse, and cut off a strong horse leg in an instant.

Murong Jin's war horse immediately lost its balance, and the body that leaped into the air was accompanied by a scream of pain, and fell heavily to the ground.Murong Gong firmly grasped the reins of the horse and hugged the horse's neck. Although he didn't fly away from the horse, he was pressed tightly under the horse's belly, unable to move at all.

The beard flew towards him, and the blood-stained sword slashed head-on.

Murong Invasion had no way to hide, he watched the big knife running towards him helplessly.Before he could even utter a cry, a head left his neck and flew into the air with a pool of blood.

Li Hong led hundreds of cavalry warriors, taking turns to attack the barrel formation formed by the enemy.The two sides gathered in a small space, fighting desperately, blood and blood flying everywhere.

After the Xianbei suffered the initial violent attack of the Han army's iron cavalry, they suffered heavy losses. The soldiers were heartbroken and demoralized.As the generals died one after another, the Xianbei army without the command of the general was like a mess of sand. After a short period of hopeless resistance, the soldiers were immediately surrounded by the fierce Han army.The soldiers of the Han army took advantage of their absolute superiority in numbers to divide and encircle the Xianbei people.

On the battlefield, the sound of fighting gradually faded away.

Li Hong knelt on the ground, looking at Zhao Wen's bloodless face, his heart ached so badly that he couldn't hold back his tears.He burst into tears suddenly.

He didn't know why he was fighting this battle, and what was the purpose of fighting this battle?The Xianbei people have already started to evacuate, and they have completed their mission, so why are they still fighting this battle?Without this battle, how could Zhao Wen, who lived together like brothers every day, and many familiar soldiers, die here, in this dark night.

He couldn't help hating himself.

If not for themselves, these people might not have died here.

The night gradually opened, and the dawn came quietly.

The remains of our soldiers on the battlefield have been buried, and some of the easily portable trophies seized are bundled on the horses of the Xianbei people.With the sound of retreating horns, the troops hurried on the road and rushed to Shankoudu.

In the ambush at Luting, the Han army lost nearly 400 people, and the army marquis Zhao Wen was killed.The entire Xianbei army was wiped out, and 400 people died in battle. Only a small number of soldiers fled into the nearby mountains and forests. Murong Ji and Murong Jin were all killed.

Li Hong's troops stationed at the south bank of Shankoudu, and the troops rested.

On the third day after Xiong Ba withdrew from Changqingwei, Xian Yufu rushed to Li Hong's army with Liu Yu's order.

"My lord orders you to rush to Juyong in Shanggu County immediately."

Li Hong and his subordinates were speechless for a while, and the big tent fell into silence.

"Our army has fought repeatedly, and the loss of troops is very high. The soldiers are also exhausted and need to rest urgently. Isn't it too hasty to go to Juyong at this time?" Li Song saw that Li Hong was looking at the map on the table and was silent for a long time. Knowing that he was very embarrassed, he hurriedly said to Xian Yufu.

"My lord Xianyu, thousands of people were killed and injured in the two battles between Pishi Mountain and Luting, and the strength of the troops was greatly damaged. Isn't it a bit difficult for us to rush to Juyong now?" Marquis Wu Zhao said dissatisfied.

"Here we are fighting with the Xianbei people, bleeding to death. You rest in Yuyang City, eating and drinking. Now the situation is tense in Juyong. If you don't go, let us go. What kind of nonsense is this?" Yan Wuwei was indignant Said unfairly.

"Does it mean that the adults in our family are young, have poor background, and have low qualifications, and deliberately bully us?" Hu Zi looked at Xian Yufu coldly, and said in a provocative tone.

"Lord Wei, where do you start with this. Now that the Hu people are invading, and the situation in Youzhou is critical, everyone is doing their best for the safety of the Han Kingdom. How can you ignore the interests of the country for your own self-interest at this time. Wei My lord misunderstood what Lord Liu meant."

"Did you see that we were all horse thieves in the past, and deliberately found an excuse to kill us?" Mu Zhuang, who had been promoted to a false military officer, suddenly shouted.

Xian Yufu shook his head helplessly, smiled wryly and said, "You are all soldiers of the Han Kingdom, and you all shed blood and died to defend your home and country. Who cares about your background at this time? What is most lacking now are soldiers. Liu My lord admires and appreciates you very much for being able to take the initiative to join the army to fight against the barbarians when the Han Kingdom was in crisis. You must not misunderstand."

"Everyone, look at Yuyang now. Besides you, who else can go to support Juyong City? In Yuyang City, Lord Tian Kai's troops plus the reinforcements brought by Master Liu from Zhuojun, there are only more than 1000 people left. , and Lord Yan Rou's hundreds of people. There are so many people who are not enough to guard Yuyang, let alone support others."

"But we, Lord Dou, and Lord Zhang's troops combined, there are only less than 2000 people left who can continue to fight, and the troops' supplies have all been used up, and many of the captured war horses are now living on weeds .That’s it, how do we go to fight? Before arriving in Juyong, the troops are probably going to disperse.” Tian Zhong said slowly.

"Before leaving, Master Liu has already said that the infantry in Guangyang County, Lucheng and Yongnu are at the disposal of Master Li. You have captured thousands of horses, and you can immediately turn the infantry into cavalry. The strength should be strong." As for the supplies, I will return to Yuyang immediately to raise money for you.”

"Subject, what do you say?" Xian Yufu asked.

Li Hong looked away from the map and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, and the loss of troops is indeed too great. Like them, I firmly disapprove of going to the mediocrity."

Xian Yufu's face darkened, Hu Zi and Mu Zhuang's subordinates who disagreed immediately cheered up. Although Yu Shi and Zheng Xin thought it was bad to disobey Master Liu's order, they couldn't think of a better way.People and horses have nothing to eat, so what kind of war can they fight?

Li Hongwang looked at Huzi and the others, and continued: "Why are you willing to sacrifice everything, including your own life, to come here? Lord Tian Jing, Lord Zhao Wen, what are many of our brothers and friends dying for? It is for money, Is it for revenge, or because I am a big Han, and I don’t want my country and people to be humiliated and ravaged by foreigners?"

Everyone looked at Li Hong without saying a word.

"If you are here for the last reason, then you should give up all self-interest, any complaints, and all dissatisfaction. Because tomorrow we may die on the battlefield. We will leave this world peacefully like all dead comrades. Before I died, I knew that I died for the Great Han Kingdom, and I died well, so I had no complaints or regrets. Then when I was alive, what was there to fight for?"

"Because we die to live, we are fearless and fearless."

Li Hong said lightly, his heart was at peace.

His subordinates sat blankly, all silent, chewing Li Hong's words in their hearts.

"Let's go to Zhuolu."

Xian Yufu raised his head in surprise and asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

Li Hong had a sad look on his face, and smiled bitterly: "Do you know why Zhao Junhou died in Luting?"

Everyone opened their eyes wide, looked at Li Hong with great doubts in their hearts, and waited for him to continue.

Li Hong slowly touched the map on the case table, and said slowly: "Looking back now, even if we didn't fight the battle at Luting, the overall situation would be ruined. Xiong Ba has already started to withdraw, and his troops have already started to withdraw." Without rations, we can only survive by killing horses. Then why do we continue to attack Murong Ji without hesitation?"

"Because we are Han people, we will never allow any enemy to trample on every inch of our Han country."

Li Hong looked at the subordinates in the tent, with a resolute expression, and said firmly, "It will never be allowed."

"Zhao Junhou died defending the Han Kingdom."

"The enemy is still showing off on our land, is still attacking our cities, and is still killing our people. We will never give up until we drive them away."

"The Xiguan of Juyong City is located between two mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to our latest analysis, there are only more than 1 people in Karasuma, while there are more than 3000 defenders in Juyong City. With 1 It is impossible for many people to attack Xiguan successfully."

"Tito is a feint attack. The enemy's main attack direction should be Zhuolu. Once Tuoba tribe's troops capture Zhuolu, they can expand their space in Shanggu County and gradually eat away at the large areas of lush water and grass in Dai County and Shanggu County. Squeezing the Karasuma people to move further south, forcing the living space of the Han people to be even narrower.”

"Murong Feng has Murong Feng's considerations, and Tuoba Feng has Tuoba Feng's schemes. The two major powers of the Xianbei Kingdom are fighting openly and secretly, and both want to invade the land of the Han Kingdom. Now it seems that the Yuyang Battlefield and the Shanggu Battlefield seem to be connected. In fact, there is no possibility of joining forces with each other. Especially now that Murong Feng's troops have withdrawn to Quang Binh, it is impossible for them to continue to attack Yuyang. After Tuoba Feng gets the news, he will definitely change his plan There will be a bloody battle in Zhuolu soon."

"So Juyong, which seems to be very critical now, is actually as solid as a rock, but Zhuolu, which is temporarily stable, implies a huge crisis."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The dense and rapid sound of horn horns suddenly soared into the sky.

The complexions of Li Hong and everyone in the tent changed drastically, they flew up almost at the same time, and rushed out of the tent.

The sound of war drums suddenly exploded in my ears like thunder.
