In the evening, the remnant sun was like blood, reflecting the blood-red Lingzhou County.

The surging crowd finally pushed the Xianbei people up the city tower.

The first to be attacked by the Xianbei people was Ximen, and the soldier Meng Qian was hit in the forehead by a stray arrow and died, causing the morale of the Han army to drop greatly. Later, the angry Meng Kun was chopped into minced meat by the Xianbei slaves who rushed to the city.

When the sound of the brass bell rang in Lingzhou County, the hearts of all Han people were ringed.

Simon falls.

Do you still want to hold on?

Ma Yue asked himself, the enemy who climbed up from the west gate had rushed to the north and south sides of the city wall, and the pressure on the defenders had increased greatly.

This is not a long-term solution!

"San Lang, this is not a long-term solution! Soon it will be impossible to hold! ”

Ma Yue gritted his teeth and slashed out a knife on the side, slashed over a Xianbei man on his side, and shouted: "No matter what, we have to fight to the end!" ”

However, even so, the advantage of the Han army on the north gate gradually disappeared, and the tide of enemies caused the defenders to retreat, and the south gate was lost.

lost the second gate, and half of Lingzhou County has been lost.

Fu Xie swung out a knife, and the round shield rushed out a few steps against the corpse of the enemy, turning over and kicking down an enemy, which was a series of slashes.

The situation in the city is urgent, there are Xianbei people everywhere, Xianbei people are constantly climbing up outside the city, and the enemies who have poured up from the west gate directly occupy most of the city wall.

There was not much left of Guan Yu's headquarters, and more than 20 Han soldiers were escorted around Guan Yu with wounded and withdrew to Ma Yue's side.

If it weren't for Guan Yu's troops bravely blocking the enemy's offensive at the West Gate, the North Gate at this time would have been captured like the South Gate.

"San Lang, there are so many enemies that it's hard to resist! Now give the order to retreat, and I will cover you to rush out of the east gate! ”

It is said that it is a sacrifice of life for righteousness, who can die with a heart like stopping water?

It's an empty city, there's no point in holding on to it, and there's nothing to be gained by withdrawing the Xianbei people, right?

Ma Yue asked himself this in his heart, even he asked himself this way, not to mention others, the defenders were already fluctuating.

Where can I go when I rush out of the East Gate?

Running to Bupyeong?

Hugging the head of the rat and scurrying, the wolf running to the pig?

Ma Yue's eyes swept across the dark mountains and forests in the north, and he suddenly shouted: "Order the remnants of all departments to retreat to the north of the city!" ”

In the north of the city, the four-horse chariot is neatly placed there.

The 2,600 Han troops held the city for only two moments, and more than half of the troops were reduced.

The son of the Han family left his blood and life forever in this small border city.

"North Gate, Breakthrough!"

Three hundred Han troops boarded the chariot, more than 700 horsemen left and right side response, rolling wheels in the protrusion towards the north gate, at this time the north gate, has been occupied by the Xianbei people, from the city head to climb up continuously.

"Headquarters cavalry, follow me to break open the city gate!"

An unhealthy flush appeared on the face of Ma Yu's seriously injured face, and he shouted loudly, and rushed towards the city gate with an iron spear, and behind him were hundreds of Han horsemen.

Ma Yue's ring knife had already collapsed, and at this time, he was standing on the right side of the chariot holding a four-meter-long pole, constantly shouting and shouting to command his subordinates.

"Rush out! Rush out of the city gate, through the Xianbei camp, and rush to Xiao Pass! ”

The chariot is a weapon that does not have the mobility of the cavalry, is fast and has a large impact, but it has too high requirements for the terrain, not to mention that it is not the right choice for the cavalry.

But Ma Yue has no choice.

The fighting on the long street was almost one-sided, and the Xianbei people under the horses were not the opponents of the Han cavalry, and the blood was sprinkled on both sides of the street, which was the longest day.

The horses opened the way, and the chariots continued to throw arrows in front of them.

Seeing that he was about to rush to the city gate, he saw that the Xianbei slaves had already opened the city gate, and outside, more Xianbei slaves rushed over with strong bows and horses.

Ma Yue shouted: "Dou Liang, take the horses to play and the cavalry on both sides, and the chariot will crush them!" ”

In the chaotic army, Dou Liang, who was dozens of steps away, couldn't hear what Ma Yue shouted at all, but this veteran who had been on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years knew what the best choice was at this time.

Revealing the monstrous bronze beast behind the cavalry.

The four-horse chariot, the whole body of bronze supplemented by a small amount of wood, the car is always equipped with a round shield and a spear, which is extremely powerful in the straight line attack, and occupies the main position of ancient Chinese combat ordnance before the appearance of stirrups and saddles.

And now, it is still the undisputed king of land warfare.

But it was never a tool used to fight against foreigners, who were mostly cavalry, and their mobility threw off the chariot for several streets.

But the situation is different now.

The Xianbei leader saw the city gate wide open, and was about to lead his subordinates to rush into the city, but when he saw that the Han cavalry was gone, revealing the hideous chariot behind them, his eyes widened, and he was stabbed in the back for a moment.

"Spread out! Disperse! ”

However, it was too late, and the Xianbei people crowded into a ball and charged to collide with the Han chariot at the city gate.

Ma Yue's car bore the brunt of the attack, and the second long pole stabbed fiercely into the charging enemy, and even the people with the spurs pierced it.

Throwing away his spear and grabbing the ring knife, the chariot charge was unstoppable, and the roar of the wheels crushed the Xianbei people's position.

The 700 horsemen followed after the chariot rushed out of the city to carry out the second harvest on the Xianbei people.

"Boom!"

A chariot overturned, crushed on the corpse of the Xianbei people and scattered, and the Han army on the chariot hurriedly cut the rope, stepped on the horse and followed the large army to continue to flee.

It was not difficult to break out of the Xianbei camp, the south gate was the key attack point, and the north gate was not much defended, more enemies climbed up to the top of the city, and there were only a few hundred Xianbei cavalry under the city, which were broken through in an instant.

The sound of axles roared on the official road, Guan Yu straddled the horse and galloped beside the carriage, and asked, "San Lang, are I going to rush into Xiao Guan to fight the second defensive battle next?" ”

Ma Yue gasped, looked straight ahead with his eyes and said, "No, we rushed to the Weihe Bridge and gave the Xianbei people a fatal blow with their backs to Weishui." ”

Guan Yu nodded and said no more.

The Xianbei people moved quickly, but after a while, Ma Yue heard the sound of the hooves of the horses from behind.

Although the sound is small.

"Quick, hurry up to the Weihe Bridge, Dou Liang, you lead the horse army to rush across the Weihe River first, and wait for me on the other side of the river!"

The speed of the war horse is faster than that of the chariot.

Dou Liang led the order to speed up with the cavalry, and Ma Yue closed his eyes on the chariot.

The Weihe Bridge is only ten miles away from Lingzhou, and the chariot will soon arrive here, Guan Yu and others thought that Ma Yue was going to break the bridge, but they heard Ma Yue shouting: "Unload the chariot and horses and rush to the other side, Fu Xie, you take four hundred people to the opposite bank with bows and crossbows, and the Xianbei people will shoot arrows when they are impacted!" ”

"Peng Tuo, lead people to connect the remaining eighty or so chariots end to end, and connect them on the river bank in an arc, and be strong."

"Brother Guan, you lead people to gather the long pole and spear shield, and each car sets up a long pole, two shields, and nine guards."

With his hands brushing his face, Ma Yue relieved his nervousness and asked, "How many arrows do we have?" ”

Fu Xie, behind the twenty-step wooden bridge, replied: "Seven thousand!" ”

The chariot was connected to the river bank from end to end, a small arc, like a crescent moon, and a two-meter-wide chariot formation with one person high and two meters wide firmly protected the Han army of Ma Yue's subordinate in it.

Ma Yue clenched his fists, but the moon is arrayed, and now I can only look at you.
