Chapter 43: Seeing each other, there is a lot of blood
Pan Zihan gave up pondering and waited for drowsiness to strike. Duanmu Xu is still peeling back the cocoon, trying to find out the reason behind the connection.
The sleepiness that Pan Zihan had to wait for had not yet arrived, and Duanmuxu didn't have time to ponder anymore, and the shouts of killing came from all over the world, not only from outside the city, but also from inside the city.
On the Weiyuan city wall, Shi Jiwei's face was pale, looking at the dense firelight near the north wing of the city, there were also outside the city and inside the city. The northern wing of the city was breached.
The impregnable Huaishuo defense line, from Huaiyuan Peak to the south, all the way to the high city wall, connecting the north wing city, Hanyu Pass City, as well as the south wing city and Weiyuan City. In the past few days, Durhan has been sending troops to build a mountain outside Weiyuan City, trying to build a commanding height, and the two sides have been fighting here. It's all a trick.
The opponent's target has always been the North Wing City in the north.
Even if the northern flank of the city is broken, with the cavalry concentrated in Weiyuan City, he is confident that he will be able to fight Durhan head-on.
made a big mistake, he didn't want to make another big mistake, the other party had just entered the city, and he was not as familiar with the terrain as the Huaishuo army, so he must not delay the fighters again. He ordered all the cavalry to be gathered and charge the enemy soldiers in the northern flank.
The dense array of soldiers was concentrated in the school field, but how did the cavalry become infantry? Shi Jiwei was in a state of panic, and at least nearly 20 percent of the cavalry turned into infantry, and the horses had an accident.
Unable to care about the problems that arose, Shi Jiwei waved his hand, and the mighty cavalry rushed towards the direction of the North Wing City.
Duanmu Xu and Pan Zihan were also in the cavalry ranks, and looking at the series of changes, the two of them understood that what they had worried about before had happened.
As soon as they arrived near Hanyu Guancheng, there was a group of soldiers and horses approaching, the number was small, and they were all remnants of the defeated generals, led by Li Deyuan, the army of the northern wing of the city. I saw that his armor was sparse and his face was covered with blood, and when he saw Shi Jiwei, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, "Lord Captain, you should die for your humble position." The enemy soldiers came out of the tunnels in the city, attacked the defenders of the urn city, and then secretly opened the city gate, and then the enemy army covered and killed. ”
"Tunnel?" Shi Jiwei had already ordered to prevent the other party from digging the tunnel, and there was no abnormality in the past few days, where did this tunnel come from. However, he didn't care about tracking it down, the enemy was already in front of him, and he didn't even have time to clean up the Li Deyuan in front of him, so he took the army to meet the cavalry of the barbarian department.
When the two armies met, they would not greet each other, especially Huaishuo's side, which was already red-eyed. The arrows flew in the air, and I don't know how many dead and wounded were, and then they met in close combat, and on the west bank of the Yanzhi River, on this empty wilderness, blood flowed all over the ground, and the horses fell to the ground.
Gradually, the horses fell, not because of an arrow or a wound, but because they had eaten the wrong thing. The rout began when the horses fell to the ground, and the opponent's rush was like a surging tide, rushing over in bursts.
Shi Jiwei's cavalry was defeated and retreated, and the cavalry without horses was even inferior to the shield soldiers, and countless people were killed or wounded under the opponent's horses' hooves.
In this life, Shi Jiwei has never been so desperate and self-blaming, the opportunity to kill the enemy is just around the corner, but his army has become the prey of the other party's hunting.
The defenders in Weiyuan City, South Wing City, and Guancheng also chased after the cavalry. Huaishuojun's entire family is behind him.
Between the lightning and flint, Shi Jiwei kept thinking in his heart. In such a situation, continuing to rush and kill will surely bury the entire Huaishuo army. Retreating into the Guancheng is bound to become a battle for trapped beasts, and there is no danger of a moat to defend in the Guancheng. Retreat to the east to the state, and then defend the city with the defenders of the state, it is still inappropriate, the official road leading to the state is wide, suitable for cavalry pursuit, and the distance from the state is too far, if the enemy is in pursuit, has not yet arrived in the state, may be the Huaishuo army has already collapsed.
Shi Jiwei couldn't make up his mind for a while, looked at the Pan Datou who was being protected by Bai Xu not far away, and shouted, "If you retreat, where will you go?"
"To the north, it joins the military town of Wuchuan. Pan Zihan yelled, he should have been thinking about how to withdraw before.
But it was the enemy army to the north, and it was only a detour. The infantry rushed eastward, preparing to cross the Yanzhi River, but where the bridge was sufficient, the retreat was extremely slow.
The cavalry on both sides was still fighting, and Huaishuo's cavalry could not retreat, otherwise the infantry behind would all become meat under the horse's hooves, and the Golden Horde cavalry was even more vigorous. At the intersection, people turn on their backs.
Duanmu Xu protected Pan Zihan, among the centaurs, rushing left and right, a spear flying up and down, or picking or pointing. Pan Zihan also wielded a long knife, struggling to resist the long knife or spear that slashed at him.
With the wail of a war horse, Pan Zihan fell to the ground with the war horse he was riding, and he was about to be slashed by the enemy's long knife in his back.
When the horse's wail was slightly released, Duanmu Xu had already discovered the danger, but in front of him was the enemy's long knife, and under the strong block, he flicked the handle of the gun again, and blocked the long knife that was slashing at Pan Zihan. He leaned over again, pulled hard, and lifted Pan Zihan behind him, one horse and two people, although the movement was slower, it was much safer than leaving this Pan Dagongzi on the ground.
He almost lost his life under the enemy's long knife, but Duanmu Xu felt that Pan Zihan behind him was not afraid, but angry. Almost slashed by the enemy, it really should be angry. But then Pan Gongzi shouted a sentence, which made Duanmu Xu know that he had guessed wrong. "Why don't you come and save Master Ben. "Naturally, this is not the one who yelled at Duanmu Xu. He and Duanmu Xu have always been brothers, when did they think they were young masters.
However, from the cavalry ranks, two unfamiliar faces rushed out, one looked average, and the other had thick eyebrows, tightly protecting Duanmuxu's horse in the middle.
The enemy soldiers continued to attack, and the three horses and four people took care of each other, especially the two people outside, who were in danger, and even fought to be injured, but also protected Pan Zihan.
Even with the desperate protection of these two people, these three horses and four people were still in danger, and the entire Huaishuo army gradually retreated, and the impact of the Golden Horde cavalry was really strong. Fortunately, the infantry temporarily paved a pontoon bridge over the Yanzhi River, which bought time for the infantry to evacuate when the cavalry in front of them resisted desperately.
Duanmu Xu and the others fought and retreated, and saw that Shi Jiwei not far away was the same, and he also found that two new faces suddenly appeared next to Shi Jiwei, desperately protecting them outside.
These people give Duanmu Xu a very peculiar feeling, and their shots are extremely accurate, not ordinary martial arts. Although the environment was noisy, he could feel a hint of aura fluctuations. It turned out that he was also a cultivator, but the realm should also be in the lower realm.
Whether it is Shi Jiwei or Pan Zihan, they all have high expectations from their families, and their families are not only feudal officials, but also relatives of the emperor. With such an identity, it is natural to select a master guard. It is difficult for ordinary masters in martial arts to enter the eyes of these families, and only those who practice can they rest assured. When facing life and death, these invisible guards will appear to the rescue.
Is it any wonder that when Pan Zihan was drunk and dragged into the river, his guards did not show up? But why did they not show up when he was shooting arrows in the school grounds?
Duanmu Xu fought and retreated, but he couldn't help but ponder about it. Unless there is something that you can practice, the other party will also be aware of it when you are in school.
It seems that it is difficult to hide such a thing.
