Chapter 669: Wind and Snow Cover the Sky (21)

After thinking about the joints clearly, Murong Kun was terrified, and now his only thought was to get rid of the current chaotic situation, withdraw to join Yan Qi first, and then retreat with the whole army, taking advantage of the mobility of the cavalry, taking advantage of the fact that the strength of the Eastern Army on the east bank was not enough to block the retreat of the whole army, withdraw, at least to Jingyuan, and preserve the strength in order to fight again.

The opponent's crossbow arrows seemed to be endless, and directly opposite, the thick phalanx was approaching step by step, and their own vanguard was retreating because of the loss of speed, in order to avoid entanglement with the enemy's infantry, in order to open up the distance and charge, but behind was the Chinese army torn apart by the enemy's arrow array, and if they retreated, they would step into the quagmire.

"Blow the trumpet, and the striker attacks." Murong Kun's face sank like water.

"The Chinese army gave up the attack on the arrow arrays on both sides and assembled towards us, and the tail army made a detour to both sides and attacked the rear of the enemy's arrow array."

A series of orders were issued, and with the terrible sound of the trumpet, the retreating forward, after a little hesitation, launched a death attack on the spot towards the enemy's shield array more than ten meters away, without speed, at this distance to attack the well-defended infantry formation, casualties can be imagined.

The war horse slammed into the thick shield with a loud sound, and spears pierced out of the gaps in the shield, stretching and contracting, bringing out a puff of blood. The foot soldiers in the first row were sunk by the huge impact force, many of them were already broken bones and tendons under the first impact, and blood sprayed from their mouths and died, but the corpses never fell, the front was the enemy's cavalry, and the back were stacked up layer by layer, and the bodies of the war dead were wrapped between the two, and they were still advancing involuntarily.

Under Chen Bin's construction, the spears in the hands of the infantry soldiers of the Eastern Army were lengthened by nearly one meter, and the making of zuò was also simpler. The barrel of the gun is deliberately made to be more flexible, originally designed to deal with the running cavalry, after the spear is pierced, the barrel of the gun will bend an arc, which can greatly reduce the impact of the horse and reduce the casualties of the soldiers, but now, the enemy has no impact speed at all, but under the continuous stabbing of such a spear of nearly three meters, they fall off the horse one by one, and the horses are crowded together. But the infantry was advancing, and the cavalry was forced to retreat, and such a battle was extremely rare.

But Murong Kun's response at this time was undoubtedly correct, the forward cavalry gave up their life-and-death attack to buy time for him to concentrate the chaotic Chinese army, and the rain of arrows flying from the two wings had already thinned out, and the rear men and horses on both sides of the detour had not yet been able to attack. But the obvious deterrent effect was already present, and the enemy archers on both flanks began to retreat.

Murong Kun let out a long breath, the trumpet of the Chinese army sounded again, and the attacking forward cavalry immediately rushed out to both wings. At this time, the two flanks were no longer the deadly rain of arrows, and they quickly made room for the Chinese army to attack.

The forward cavalry made a detour from both sides and gathered behind the central army. At this time, the sound of military trumpets also sounded in the phalanx of the opponent's foot soldiers. The advancing phalanx came to an abrupt halt, and the archers who had withdrawn from both flanks joined the phalanx with spears in hand.

The two armies opened a distance of hundreds of meters, this distance was originally the best for the cavalry to sprint for a short distance, at this time, if Murong Kun launched an attack, even if the main formation of the infantry of the Eastern Army would not collapse, the casualties would increase exponentially, not to mention, at this time, the infantry had walked out of the undulating hilly land that was now undulating, and there were wilderness all around, which was more conducive to the Eastern Hu cavalry to play the art of running and shooting.

The Eastern Army contracted its lineup, and it was obvious that they were waiting for Murong Kun to launch a re-division attack.

Murong Kun looked at the layers of corpses of men and horses between the two armies, looking at the snow that was stained red with blood, the anger in his eyes was infinite, the ten thousand cavalry under his command were actually ambushed by thousands of foot soldiers, and at this time, he was extremely killed and wounded, plus the wounded, I was afraid that the loss had exceeded thirty percent, he really had the urge to launch an attack regardless of a qiē and kill all these soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, this thought just flashed in his mind, but he immediately rejected it, it was meaningless to win this battle, Because he didn't know when He Lanyan would come.

"Withdraw!" Gritting his teeth, he gave the order to retreat.

The rear team of the Donghu cavalry changed to the front team, turned around and withdrew, watching the Donghu cavalry leave, the soldiers of the Eastern Army suddenly let out bursts of cheers, but the sound of the drums that followed quickly suppressed these cheers, the soldiers in the first row began to advance forward, and the rear ones followed in turn, and the phalanx actually followed the enemy cavalry forward, although it was a little loose, but at this time with the distance from the Donghu soldiers, as long as the enemy was found to have signs of counterattack, as soon as the horn sounded, between a few breaths, the general formation could be re-formed.

It was only at this time that the bodies of the war dead fell from the military formation, and in the rear of the military formation, there was a special containment team to collect the remains of these war dead.

The war horse galloped in the wind and snow, Murong Kun's heart was anxious, although the falling snow blocked his vision, but not only the sentry cavalry in return, but let him know that this foot soldier of the Eastern Army did not give up, but followed them tightly without relenting, even if the distance was constantly widening, they did not stop and turn around and retreat.

This strengthened Murong Kun's thoughts, Helan Yan's cavalry must be close to the left.

On one side, morale is booming, but on his side, morale has fallen to the lowest point, originally went out to rescue friendly troops, but now the friendly troops have not been rescued, but they are about to fall into a desperate situation.

It is necessary to hurry up and cross the river, as long as you cross the Liao River, you will be safe, and the messenger sent out will also bring the news of his attack to Yan Qi, and he will also send reinforcements.

After galloping for more than forty miles in one breath, and it was less than ten miles away from the Liao River, Murong Kun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when he just spit out this breath, the whole person was completely frozen.

In his eyes, a dazzling red appeared.

The red cloak suddenly came out of the white falling snowflakes, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing also sounded at this moment, and a cavalry numbering no more than a thousand people suddenly emerged from the wind and snow, and with a single assault, it cut their long dragon-like team into two sections.

"The Redguard!" Murong Kun exclaimed.

The reputation of the red-clothed guards, with the return of Yuwenke, spread all over Donghu, legend has it that it is a cavalry that even the palace guards can not compare, under the Dayan City, it is this red-clothed guard of a thousand people who stubbornly crushed the three thousand cavalry led by Yuwenke's son Yu Wenming and chased hundreds of miles.

I really can't believe how Gao Yuan trained such a cavalry, fortunately, there are too few of them, but Donghu, which is dominated by cavalry, can still win by quantity, but definitely not now.

The long dragon-like team looked very thin, and the red-clothed guards killed a pair of piercing with a charge, and then went around a small arc and once again pierced through the team of the Donghu cavalry.

Murong Kun's heart completely cooled down, no matter how fierce the red-clothed guards were, there were less than a thousand people, but when the red-clothed guards arrived, would Helanyan still be far away?

As if in response to his thoughts, in the wind and snow, the sound of dense horses' hooves and the shouts of the Eastern Army of Wansheng sounded again, and this time it was black in his eyes.

The Black Guard.

The black-clothed guard swept away the leaves with the autumn wind, shattering all the obstacles in front of him. When the impact of the two cavalry brigades stirred up the Donghu cavalry who were eager to retreat, two more cavalry were killed, which were Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei.

"Lorey, can we compare again?" Gongsun Yi, who was galloping on Pegasus, was in high spirits, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and looked at Luo Lei, who was also eager to try.

"Why don't you dare? Whoever loses this time, whoever goes back will have to crawl around Pioneer City! Lorey laughed out loud.

"If you say it, you are determined."

"I am giving you these words. Kill! Lore grabbed the horse's belly and took the lead in killing.

"It's really shameless, so let's set off together!" Gongsun Yi said disdainfully: "Even if you let you go, how can you be my opponent, brothers, follow me!" ”

Helan Yan's more than 4,000 cavalry encountered a catastrophe when Murong Kun was about to arrive at the Liao River. The entry of 4,000 fresh troops made the cavalry of the warring sides reach more than 10,000 horsemen here, and the two sides strangled each other within a range of more than ten miles, but one pair was demoralized and only wanted to escape, while the other side was high-spirited and bent on killing the enemy to win.

Murong Kun had completely lost all hope at this time, and under the protection of dozens of personal soldiers, he finally rushed out of this battlefield and ran towards the Liao River.

Then, he saw He Lanyan.

He Lanyan, who was standing there quietly, seemed to be waiting for him all along, and around He Lanyan, more than a dozen red-clothed cavalrymen were holding huge Mo knives, and they were also looking at them with bad intentions.

"Murong Kun, are you going to get off your horse and surrender, or are you waiting for me to pick off your head?" Helan Yan giggled, "Your subordinates can't get out, how can you escape alone?" ”

It was Murong Kun's roar and charging figure that answered He Lanyan.

"Murong Kun is mine, and the rest will be killed by you." He Lanyan let out a coquettish cry and stepped up to meet her.

Guo Laofu beside him smiled, holding a Mo knife with one hand, and stepped forward, and when he swept past Murong Kun, his free hand suddenly rose up, swishing and shooting.

In the midst of Helan Yan's angry scolding and Murong Kun's miserable screams, Guo Laofu threw away his crossbow, raised his Mo knife, and rushed forward.

He Lanyan looked at Murong Kun, who was lying on his back in front of his horse, and then looked at Guo Laofu, who had already entered the Donghu soldiers, and was so angry that he gritted his silver teeth.

Guo Lao Fu, wilted and wilted, it really deserved his reputation, poor Murong Kun was also distracted by He Lanyan's shout, he never thought that He Lanyan, who was shouting to be singled out, gave himself this cruel blow, and he was really dead.

Guo Laofu was sent to He Lanyan by Gao Yuan, the most important thing is to protect He Lanyan's safety, how could he let He Lanyan go head-to-head with the enemy general, if He Lanyan lost a hair, he was only afraid that he would lose a few catties of meat when he turned around, such a loss-making business could never be done.
