Chapter 306: The Bloody Battle of Jiuquan (Part II)
A messenger rushed to Wei Qing: "General Liu reports, the crossbow arrows are about to run out!" ”
Wei Qing's head buzzed.
The enemy's attack is really crazy, this moment of effort, tens of thousands of people have fallen, although the Han army has prepared a very sufficient number of crossbow arrows, but it is impossible to put all the crossbow arrows in the ironclad car, after all, the ironclad car space is limited, can not put so much, but the enemy frantically charged, the machine crossbow continued to fire, the consumption was huge, and now it has been consumed almost, but the new crossbow arrows can not be replenished in time for a while.
"Tell General Liu to prepare for a white-knuckle battle!" Wei Qing gritted his teeth and replied.
On the left and right, Ma Chao and Chen Qingzhi's troops have begun a white-knuckle battle, the enemy and us are staggered attacks, the fight is inseparable, frontal, the enemy's corpses are piled up in front of the thorn gate, the enemy army opened the way with human lives, and finally pushed open a few thorn gates and rushed into the gate.
"Reserve army ready!" Wei Qing ordered.
The enemy army shouted and rushed towards the Han army, and the first group of enemy troops had completely rushed into the thorn gate.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, the ground sank out of thin air, and a neat tunnel was revealed, Shi Qian's face of dust took the lead in jumping out of the tunnel, leading thousands of soldiers to kill from the back of the enemy army in the Han army's formation.
"Reserve attack!" Wei Qing saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately ordered.
The reserve army of the Han army was all dispatched and rushed forward with shouts.
The enemy's attack finally stopped, their casualties were too great, and the defense in front of them, first the crossbow, then the moon bow, then the thorn gate, and then the ironclad car, finally broke through all the defense lines, but was ambushed by Shi Qian, and the Han army took the opportunity to counterattack the whole army, which can be said to be just when the enemy's attack power was exhausted.
The menacing attack turned into an escape like a low tide, the enemy army retreated in an all-round way, the Han army counterattacked in an all-round way, the whole battlefield was covered with smoke and dust, people shouted and neighed, soldiers stepped on the corpses of friends and foes and even wounded soldiers clashed back and forth, sweat and blood wet a large area of desert.
Wei Qing let out a sigh of relief, he finally succeeded, if he had reacted a little later, everything might have been completely different, fortunately, this time he reacted very keenly to the enemy, and predicted the enemy's strategy in advance, forcing the enemy to launch a strong attack.
He wiped the sweat from his head and was about to give the order to pursue, when the horn of Mengkeli behind him sounded loudly, and the 20,000 Jin army attacked from behind, and the banner fluttered, and the first general took the lead. Although it was not close, Wei Qing recognized the figure of the main general at a glance: it was Zamuhe.
At this moment, even the guards around Wei Qing changed color.
At this time, the Han army was attacking with the whole army, mixing with all kinds of enemy troops, where to draw troops to defend against the attack behind them, it seems that the enemy army is really scheming, and quietly sent the last 20,000 people behind the Han army, intending to launch a fatal blow at a critical moment. Although the Han army won a great victory, the 20,000 enemy troops were deadly, and they attacked later, and it was the moment when the Han army could not defend itself. Although there were only 20,000 people, it was enough to turn the tide of the war.
"All the troops forward!" Wei Qing shouted: "Don't look back!" ”
The soldiers of the Han army rushed forward to charge forward, and this time it was a veritable scramble, because if anyone fell behind, he would probably sacrifice the swords of the 20,000 enemy soldiers attacking from behind.
In the middle, the Han army pursued mercilessly, and in the back, 20,000 enemy cavalry wanted to catch up with the Han army in order to save the battle.
In the blink of an eye, the main battlefield had moved several miles to the west, and the Han soldiers were falling behind more and more, and thousands of people had been killed by Zamuhe's cavalry.
Wei Qing looked around and ordered: "Blow the horn!" ”
The sound of whining was loud, and with the sound of the horn, dust flew on the right side, and 30,000 allied troops from the Western Regions appeared.
To be fair, it's not that Wei Qing saw thousands of miles clearly, and knew early that there would be an enemy ambush behind him, if he really knew this early, he would have killed the 20,000 enemy troops first, Wei Qing sent these 30,000 Western Regions allies, the purpose of which was to go around behind the enemy army to ambush and give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment.
Amazingly, the enemy also used this method, sending Zha Muhe to lead 20,000 people around the back of the Han army to ambush.
If the Han army fails, the 30,000 Western Regions allies will be trapped in the enemy's rear, but they can attack from the enemy's rear to save the Han army, on the contrary, if the enemy army fails, Zamuhe's situation will be the same as the 30,000 Western Regions allies.
Fortunately, this time the Han army won.
30,000 allied troops from the Western Regions rushed straight out, intercepted the Zamu Hebu, and the two sides started to fight, on this side, the Han army reorganized its military horses and continued to pursue, and now, there is no force that can stop Wei Qing.
Zamuhe looked at the direction of the main battlefield with a pale face.
This time, he took the initiative to come to the rescue of the Western Regions, because he knew that it was Wei Qing who attacked the Western Regions, and he was determined to kill Wei Qing.
He has no dignity now, I don't know who leaked the news that he is Wei Qing's brother, and as a result, there was a lot of uproar in the Jin State stable, and several people jointly requested to kill him, and finally Wan Yan Yong came forward as a guarantor, plus he has always fought to the death with the Han army, so he barely suppressed this matter, in order to prove that he was loyal to the Jin State, he took the initiative to ask to come to the Western Regions, and vowed to take Wei Qing's head back to His Majesty the Emperor.
However, now that all this has become impossible, he has been entangled by the Western Regions army, and the Han army is sweeping through the Jinwu coalition army.
He gritted his teeth in hatred, and blood was dripping from his lips.
Will he still be able to lead the defeated army back? Does he still have the face to go back?
"Rush forward!" He roared hoarsely and rushed straight ahead.
He wasn't going to win, and now, he's hell-bent on death.
He hurried forward.
Beside him, one Jin soldier after another fell, and his men became fewer and fewer.
He hurried forward.
There was no Jin army by his side, and there were Han troops in the Western Regions everywhere.
He hurried forward.
He raised his hand, his knife fell, blood shot out, and one enemy after another was cut to the ground by him.
"Death to those who stand in my way!" Zamuhe's eyes were red and he roared loudly.
Suddenly, a shot came from the side, hitting him in the left flank, this shot was very hard, the head of the gun pierced his flank, and he couldn't pull it out in a hurry.
Zamuhe shouted, swung his knife and slashed it, cutting the gun in two, he took half of the spear head and pounced, and cut down the Western Regions soldier next to him with a knife, and at the same time, he was hit by another sword.
He fell to the ground with a heavy fall, and the knife in his hand flew far away.
There were a forest of knives and guns in all directions, and he was about to chop him into pulp, when suddenly a person shouted: "Stop! ”
Wei Qing is here.
On the main battlefield, the enemy army has completely collapsed, and the remaining time is the slaughter time of the Han army, Wei Qing handed over the command to Bai Buxin, and he galloped straight to the place where the Western Regions Allied army and the Zamu army were fighting.
Although Zamuhe is the commander of the Jin people, he^H has Han blood in his bones, he is Wei Qing's compatriot, his elder brother, Wei Qing wants to take another look at his brother, even if his brother still insists that he is called Zamuhe, not Wei Yong.
When Wei Qing arrived, just as Zamuhe was cut to the ground, he shouted, stopped everyone, and hurriedly rushed forward.
Zamuhe was lying on the ground, the flank blood was pouring out, this shot was stuck in his flank bone, but he fell, the gun went down, and the gun poked into it again, piercing in from one side of the flank, piercing out from the other side, his internal organs had been pierced, and the sword just hit the back of the heart, he was already physiological.
Wei Qing saw that Zamuhe was so badly injured, he panicked, turned over and dismounted, pounced on Zamuhe's side, and shouted repeatedly: "Brother, brother!" ”
Zha Muhe gasped with difficulty, he knew that he was going to die, and Wei Qing's two words suddenly evoked his memories.
He suddenly remembered how he hugged Wei Qing and rolled on the grass laughing when he was very young, and remembered his father's loving smile and his mother's caressing.
He smiled.
Now, he remembered everything.
"I, am I called Wei Yong!" Zamuhe asked.
Tears welled up in Wei Qing's eyes all of a sudden: "Yes, your name is Wei Yong, brother!" ”
"Brother, are your parents okay?" Zha Muhe, no, Wei Yong, raised his hand with difficulty to touch Wei Qing's face.
Wei Qing hurriedly stepped up, held his brother's hand, choked up and said, "Okay, it's all good, it's just that they miss you very much, don't talk first, I'll save you!" ”
Wei Yong smiled, his face gradually lost blood: "I can't live anymore, in fact, now I am finally saved,,,,,! He closed his eyes.
Wei Qing cried loudly.
He finally found his brother, and before his brother died, he found out how he told his parents.
In the crowd, Bai Buxin quietly walked out and stood quietly behind Wei Qing without saying a word.
He had come to report that the war was over, but on an occasion like this, it was better not to say it.
Three days later, a coffin set off from the Han barracks, and a small group of soldiers was ordered to escort the coffin back to the stable.
This is the corpse of the enemy general Zamuhe, and it is necessary for Wei Qing to send it to His Majesty the Emperor for disposal; This is the body of his brother Wei Yong, and it is necessary for him to let his parents take a look, so he walked with the coffin, and there was a long letter, which explained in detail why this person dressed in the costume of Marshal Jin Guo was Wei Yong, and this letter would be sent to Wei Qing's parents.
Wei Qing watched the group disappear out of sight before slowly walking back to the camp, he sat down in a daze, his eyes seemed to be looking at the empty table in front of him, but he didn't seem to see anything.
A slender hand reached out to his eyes, holding a cup with half a glass of water in it.
"Let's have a drink!" Mulan said softly.
