Chapter 72: The Great Battle of Xijon (4)

"Ninety steps, eighty steps...... Sixty steps, fifty steps. Li Wu said.

"Release the arrow......" When Li Wu counted fifty steps, Guo Qi immediately ordered.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

The rain of arrows composed of thousands of arrows rose from the city wall, covering the sky and the sun and heading straight to the Xirong army under the city, the Xirong army deserved to be the elite of a hundred battles, and when they saw the rain of arrows coming, they immediately raised their shields to defend; These shields are made of makeshift wood, and their defense is not comparable to that of cowhide shields, but some are better than nothing.

"Bang ......"

The bed crossbow shot out a crossbow arrow with a thick forearm, directly shattering a wooden shield, and the sharp crossbow spear directly penetrated the body of the Xijon thief hiding behind the wooden shield, taking it out, and penetrating two people one after another, and finally inserted it into the ground, becoming a string of human gourds.

The huge crossbow arrows shot from the bed crossbow formed a blood groove in the offensive formation of the Xirong thief army, and as long as they were hit by the crossbow arrows, they would definitely die.

"Poof, poof, poof......"

Although there was the protection of the wooden shield, there were still some arrows that hit the Xijon thieves, and more than 130 people were directly shot, and more than 200 people were killed by the arrows, and they lost their combat effectiveness and fell to the ground wailing.

"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow......"

The rain of arrows shot towards the Xirong thieves under the city in waves, and the dense arrow rain attack made the Xirong thieves who were besieging the city suffer heavy losses, and there were still thirty steps away from the city pass, as if it was an insurmountable chasm, and the Xirong thieves army was never able to cross this line.

In the distance, he looked at the scene in front of him with a dull gaze, and such a dense rain of arrows greatly surprised his expectations.

"Big Chief, Big Chief......" Munos returned to his side and reported: "The enemy's arrow rain is too fierce, and our army has suffered heavy losses!" If this continues, all the warriors in my ambush department will die in vain under this Huangyang Pass. ”

"The hateful Guo Qi dared to plot against Lao Tzu." So far, he was unwilling to give the order: "Order, Mingjin withdraws the troops." ”

"Bell, bell, bell......"

A gong sounded, and the attacking Xijon thieves began to turn around and retreat, in order to speed up the retreat, the Xijon thieves threw away heavy ladders and wooden shields; All this was seen by Guo Qi, and of course Guo Qi would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime fighter.

"All crossbowmen obey, and the crossbow extends; Don't let go of an enemy. Guo Qi roared.

All the crossbowmen began to increase their elevation angles, and waves of arrows continued to shoot at the retreating Xijon bandits; The retreating Xirong thief army did not expect that the Yongjun's bow and crossbow could shoot so far, without the protection of the wooden shield, the Xirong thief army who was turning around and retreating was hit by arrows in the back, either falling to the ground and dying, or falling to the ground and wailing; This time, Guo Qi let Zhi Fu Bu see what is called a rain of arrows saturation attack.

"My lord, the Xijon thief army is beyond our maximum range." Li Wu said to Guo Qi.

"Order Tang Bi to lead the hussar guards to attack, and be sure to leave all the Xirong thieves under the city." Guo Qi ordered with an indifferent face: "Zhuo Yidao, Li Wu, Xu Feng, the three of you lead the Heavy Armor Infantry Mansion, the Pro-Soldier Mansion and the Bow and Crossbow Soldier Mansion to attack, and all the Xirong thieves who fell to the ground outside the city and did not die;

After ordering Hu Qiong, he led the Sword and Shield Soldier Mansion and the Spearman Mansion to go straight to the camp of the Xirong Thief Army and take it down. ”

"No! The lowly (last general) received the order...... "The three of them received the order together.

Guo Qi gave an order, and the Yajun guards and hussar guards were all dispatched to conduct the final decisive battle with the Xirong thief army; At this time, the Xirong thief army, plus those who returned alive from the siege troops, were more than 300 people, but they were all cavalry.

"Great chief, you see that the Yongjun army is out of the city; It looked like there were tens of thousands of men and thousands of cavalry; Hurry up! If you don't withdraw, it's too late. Munos said to Fu Bu to persuade him.

If he still has a thousand cavalry in his hands at this time, he will definitely dare to have a field battle with the Yongjun, and he is confident that he will defeat all the Yongjun army or even encircle and annihilate it, but now he has no capital.

"Quick, protect the Grand Leader and evacuate." Munos ordered the troops around him.

Under the protection of more than 300 cavalry, he fled westward, and Tang Bi led 6,000 cavalry to chase after him.

"Brothers, kill! Kill all the Xirong thieves and kill them......" Tang Bi waved the horse lance in his hand and pointed to the fleeing Xirong thief army in front of him and shouted.

"Rumble, Rumble, Boom......"

While fleeing, Munos looked back at the hussar guards who were chasing, and thought to himself: "It's not a way to run like this, sooner or later it will be caught up by the Yongjun cavalry, you must stop and block it, otherwise no one can escape alive." ”

"A few of you protect the big leader and return to Shanzhou; The rest of the brothers rushed with Ben to kill the Yongjun cavalry. ”

Mu Nos led three hundred cavalry to stop, turned the horse's head and began to charge to meet the cavalry caught up by the hussars, this place is already more than thirty miles away from Huangyang Pass, and the hussars followed Tang Bi to chase only more than 3,000 cavalry, as for the rest of all due to poor horsemanship, after all, it is now more than half a month before the hussar guard was established.

"Kill, kill, kill......"

There is no two armies against each other, one charge and one counter-charge, the two teams of cavalry are strangled together in an instant, although the Xirong cavalry has superb riding skills and first-class kung fu on the horse, but it can't stand the hussar guards! After a hedging strangulation, there were only more than fifty horsemen left under the command of Munos.

"Ma Cheng, lead your Second Cavalry Mansion to continue the pursuit, and none of them can be allowed to go back alive."

"No! Commanded by humility. Ma Ying answered: "Follow me from the Second Cavalry Palace." ”

After Ma Ying led the army to continue the pursuit, Tang Bi held the horse lance and said: "Brothers, kill all the Xirong thieves, kill them all, kill them all, kill ......"

At the head of the city of Huangyang Pass, Guo Qi stood in front of the battlements and looked at the battlefield outside the city that had been stained red with blood, and the soldiers of the Ya Army Guard were cleaning the battlefield in an orderly manner.

"My lord, the remnants of the city have all been resolved." Tang Bi reported.

"Okay, cut off the heads of all the Sijon thieves."

"No!"

It didn't take long for Guo Qi to see the banner of the Yongjun army hanging in the Xirong military camp in the distance.

Hu Qiong soon came back and reported: "My lord, the last general has taken the Xirong military camp and captured more than 2,000 war horses, all of which were not taken away by the Xirong thief army. ”

"All the horses were sent into the city, leaving a group of soldiers to guard the camp."

"No! This will be arranged. ”

Guo Qi stayed in the city for a while before returning to the Chinese army's tent, and an hour after Guo Qi returned, Tang Bi led the hussars back to Huangyang Pass.

"The last general, Tang Bi, pleaded guilty to the lord." As soon as Tang Bi entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Haven't you run away?"

"The last general is incompetent, please give the Lord sin."

"This king has already expected this, get up!" Guo Qi said: "What are the casualties of the hussars? ”

"My lord, the casualties are about five or six hundred."

"That's six hundred." Guo Qi said with a dark face: "Now I realize the gap between us and the Xirong cavalry!" All losses were made up at once, and in response to the problems exposed in this battle, it was necessary to focus on training immediately, and this king did not want the hussars to be so useless in the next battle. ”
