Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 63 Killing the Heart
Amid the sound of wild horses' hooves, about 9,000 cavalry of the Bohai Navy rushed from the high ground on both sides at the same time, cutting the 6,000 Dong cavalry into several sections in an instant.
In the battle of Shicai's attack on the camp, almost all the spears of the Dong army's cavalry were left on the battlefield, and they were completely killed by a saber. After a whole night of forced marching and an hour-long bloody battle, all the cavalry of the Dong army, although they were sleepy and lacking, were still immersed in the joy of the great victory, and completely lost their due vigilance...... In the face of the sudden fierce attack of the Bohai naval cavalry, some Dong cavalry did not even have time to draw out the long knives at their waists, and they were picked off their horses by the spears stabbed head-on by the Bohai naval cavalry.
In addition, the cavalry of the Bohai Navy took advantage of the high speed of swooping down, driving the armored war horses, and directly rammed the Dong army cavalry that was jumping from the side, and in a series of terrible sounds of broken tendons, the opponent and the horse were directly knocked out, causing a large number of people to turn over on their backs.
After losing their speed, the cavalry of the Bohai Navy showed a furious nature far beyond that of the Dong cavalry, and they also abandoned the spears that were not suitable for close combat, and plucked the heavy maces from the sides of their horses, and smashed them in all directions.
A Dong cavalryman screamed and swung his knife at the nearest Bohai naval cavalryman, but was swept by the opponent's big stick, and the long knife in his hand was violently shaken.
All of a sudden, the screams and screams of the Dong army's cavalry rang out, and the thin and fragile long knives in their hands were almost furnished in front of the Bohai Navy's strong armor and sharp weapons.
In just a few breaths, the Liangzhou cavalry, who had always prided themselves on being the best cavalry in the world, suffered an unprecedented defeat in front of the cavalry of the Bohai Navy...... In the realm where the Dong army's cavalry was in good time, location, and people, and its combat power and equipment were inferior to those of the enemy, this was no longer a blocking battle launched by the Bohai Navy, but a bloody and merciless massacre.
Even so. The Bohai Navy, which has always been tactically refined to the point of being almost harsh, still did not give up the idea of further mistreating the enemy. On the high ground on both sides, more than 100 sharpshooters of the Bohai Navy were cruising back and forth, and once they found a tight spot below, or if an enemy force wanted to escape from the encirclement, they would immediately shoot an arrow and control the situation of a huge battlefield without leaking.
Hua Xiong stood on his horse, his spear holding his hands trembling slightly, not from fear, but with extreme anger...... has just experienced a bloody surprise victory. But he immediately fell into another surprise attack that was completely unparried, but the situation was reversed, and his own side became the target of slaughter, how could such a shame not make him sad and indignant?
He wanted to let out a fierce roar, and then desperately smash into the enemy crowd, using the blood of the enemy and his own blood to clean the shame...... However, he couldn't move, because in front of him, a powerful opponent was staring at him coldly.
"Gan Ning!" Hua Xiong roared out the name of the general on the other side. Eyes breathed fire and said: "I actually took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack...... Vile! ”
"You're an idiot!" Gan Ning said with a disdainful face: "Not to mention that you and my two armies are mortal enemies who are not in the same place, it's just that you attacked the coalition camp before, what qualifications do you have to say that others are despicable?" ”
Hua Xiong was immediately speechless. Suddenly, he felt the noise on the battlefield behind him seem to be decreasing. He didn't dare to look back, but he listened intently.
"Don't listen anymore!" Gan Ning said lightly: "Your subordinates are about to be killed, and so is your deputy general Hu Zhen...... Under the siege of the four Bohai Eagle Generals, if he can hold out for another half a moment. Ben will lose his head to you! ”
"Good! It seems that you are going to kill them all! Hua Xiong's heart was cold, but it aroused his determination to fight to the death, and he waved the spear in his hand. yelled, "Come on! Do you dare to fight me? ”
"Speaking from the heart, you and I should be between the best!" Gan Ning shook his head: "Ben will not be sure of you!" ”
"Humph! Count yourself as self-aware! Hua Xiong's heart suddenly became arrogant, and he laughed wildly: "Then, let you and I fight to the death, and divide a victory and a life and death!" ”
"A fight to the death?" Gan Ning tilted his head sideways, squinted at Hua Xiong and sneered: "I have to say, you are lucky...... My general confessed, spare your life! ”
"What? Southern Eagle Young? Hua Xiong not only had no joy in his heart, but was a stirring spirit, and blurted out: "He, what does he want to do?" ”
"Who knows?" Gan Ning shrugged his shoulders indifferently, jumped lightly, jumped off the horse, and walked straight towards Hua Xiong: "When you become a prisoner of the stairs, you will naturally have the opportunity to ask my general face to face!" ”
"Arrogance!" Hua Xiong roared: "You also want to capture me? ”
"Ahh It's a little difficult! Gan Ning stopped in a daze, he raised his hand and shouted: "Come on, let this kid talk to Ben General on an equal footing!" ”
Hua Xiong was stunned when two sharp arrows flew at the same time, piercing the neck of Hua Xiong's mount from the left and right sides. The horse neighed and fell to the ground and convulsed, and a large patch of blood spread on the ground.
Hua Xiong jumped up from the ground and said furiously: "Are you fighting or not?" ”
"Fight! Of course! Gan Ning grinned, but took a step back: "However, you kid is unlucky!" ”
In the flash of silver light, six or seven eagles threw off their saddles and dismounted, and surrounded them from all sides.
Guan Hai stared at Hua Xiong with cold eyes: "Is that him?" Last time I chased and killed the general in the mountains, did he have a share? ”
"What a bold man! How dare you chase and kill the general so inconsiderably? Do you know that this is not only an enemy of the Bohai Sea, but also an open declaration of war against our Guanghan Qiang and the Three Wolf Qiang! Jiang Huan sneered: "I heard that you are from Liangzhou, do you know who Ben will be?" Guanghan Qiang Jiang Huan is me! ”
"Son of Jiang Mu, Jiang Huan?" Hua Xiong's pupils shrank, he is an authentic Liangzhou person, how can he not know the young master of Baimaqiang?
"What nonsense with him?" Hou Cheng walked straight over: "Since the general said that he couldn't kill him, of course he must be spared a dog's life...... But you and my brothers have to get over it first! ”
"Let's do it!" Qiang Tong rushed out diagonally from behind Hua Xiong, and smashed his vest with a punch: "Beat it first!" ”
"Up!" A silver cloak flew left and right, and in an instant, seven or eight Bohai eagles would attack Huaxiong together.
In the shadow of the fist wind and legs rushing to his face, Hua Xiong suddenly felt that his mouth was full of bitterness.
The remnant sun is like blood, reflecting the terrifying battlefield like the Shura cemetery in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, which is even more bloody and miserable. Lu Bu's army and Niu's auxiliary army have all withdrawn from the battlefield and retreated to the highland camp and the tiger prison pass respectively to rest. Only the corpses and the warhorses that had lost their owners wandered alone, and a gust of wind blew, blowing the broken battle flag that was planted on the ground as if it were a lament.
Cao Cao stared at the miserable scene of slaughter near and far in a daze, but his heart seemed to have been numb, he raised his leg and stepped over a curled and stiff corpse, but it was a "poof", and his foot fell into a puddle of blood and water, he raised his leg blankly, and was about to move forward. Suddenly, there was a wall in my heart, and a mouthful of blood almost spurted out.
In this bloody battle, at least more than half of the seven thousand sons and daughters under his direct subordinates fell forever on the ground under their feet, and the blood on their feet may have flowed from their bodies. And more than 10,000 people in Bao Xin's department, who were friends of life and death, were also killed and wounded, and Bao Xin's brother Bao Tao died in battle. Wezi, who had scattered all his wealth and raised his army, was completely wiped out, and he himself was seriously wounded and dying.......
For the first time in his life, Cao Cao felt remorse...... One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither. How many heroes have fallen on this road of no return because they are bent on becoming famous in history? And his ambition to contribute to the country and worship the marquis is just a flash in the pan? In any case, the road under our feet has come to this point. Even if he is just a moth to the fire, he can only stand up......
Thinking back to the beginning of the war, the surging fighting spirit in his heart, he suddenly felt extremely ridiculous. When he commanded thousands of soldiers to arrange his troops like chess pieces, did he know that he was not a chess piece manipulated by others? Or is it that once-burning desire in my heart is driving me to become a puppet that has lost its nature?
He reached out and stroked his chest. It seems to be to suppress the surging qi and blood in the body, and it seems to be silently mourning the countless heroic souls who died in battle.
After a long time, a deep sigh of resentment was gently sent out by a gust of cold wind.
"Mengde!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him, only to hear the man say lightly: "Do you regret it?" ”
"You?" Cao Cao turned around in shock, but he showed a hint of surprise, he bowed down and said, "Nanying Yang!" ”
"You call me Nan Yingyang? How? Is it suddenly from the instant passing of countless people to see through the world and understand the true meaning? Nanying walked step by step from the blood-stained battlefield, but he was indescribably calm and calm: "I can feel that your heart is very cold, and you are also on guard?" ”
"It's a gaffe, Han Yang is strange!" Cao Cao said, but his face became more and more stunned: "Can Han Yang actually see through people's hearts?" ”
"You're wrong, how can I do this?" Nan Ying stood still in front of him and pointed to the vast battlefield that was almost as far as the eye could see: "Just because...... Back then, I also faced such a scene, and I had the same feelings as Mengde! ”
He sighed: "It is extremely contradictory, and it is so heavy...... But there's nothing you can do, right? ”
"Yes!" Cao Cao was silent for a long time, and finally said: "For a while, I was even completely confused....... this road is a road to heaven or a road of no return?" ”
"About this!" Nan Ying pointed back his finger, pointed to his heart, and said lightly: "All right and wrong depend on the heart...... An elder once told me that if I had a clear conscience, what would I do if I killed all over the world? Just because, the end point we are looking for is the ultimate peace and tranquility in the world! ”
"Do you have a clear conscience?" Cao Cao repeated this sentence several times, and finally showed a hint of enlightenment, and he leaned down deeply towards Nanying: "and be taught!" ”
"Don't be so heavy....... I heard that you once had the idea that you would rather be responsible for others than for me, which is a bit too much! However, today, I am glad to find that there is still a fiery beating conscience in Mengde's chest! Nanying patted him: "Now, take me to see Wesz!" He is a gentleman, and if he is also consumed by the relentless flames of war, it will be a lifelong regret for you and me! ”
"Forgotten?" He looked at Cao Cao, who was shocked, and smiled: "I am not only a general, but also maintain the reputation of a famous doctor in the world!" ”
"Thank you Hanyang!" Cao Cao finally burst into tears, he slammed it to the ground, and said in a hoarse voice: "Han Yang...... this life, I owe you so much! ”
"The coming day is long, and the world is like chess!" Nan Ying said meaningfully: "As long as you remember this, you will eventually repay one day!" (To be continued......)
