Chapter 251: The Battle of Gaodu
Murong Qiang and the others, who were watching the battle under the city, only heard the fierce shouting and killing around them at this time, so they covered up all the other sounds. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the Huashan Army to be so close without noticing it at all. When Li Xin led the men and horses to kill them, Murong Qiang and the others didn't react for a while, they only thought it was the sound of their own men and horses attacking the city. But by listening, it doesn't feel right.
"Strange, why is this sound of fighting coming from behind you?" Murong Qiang said in surprise.
"Like, could it be that someone killed someone from behind?" Yao Xiang was also a little surprised, glanced back, and wondered.
"It's not good, it's really an enemy attack!" Just at this glance, he saw that many people were rushing from behind, and immediately reminded him.
Only then did Murong Qiang and the others react, and they were a little flustered for a while, because no one knew how many people were suddenly killed.
"What are you still doing? Fight back now! Murong Qiang was a little stunned when he saw the generals and soldiers around him, and he couldn't help but say angrily.
The soldiers who reacted turned around to resist the soldiers of the Huashan Army who were killed behind them. A fierce battle immediately broke out between the two sides, but in the face of the carefully prepared soldiers of the Huashan Army, these Yan troops were killed for a while, and they could not resist at all.
In this night, although there is a fire, it is not as bright as the day, so many people can't even tell the difference between friend and foe. The more than 1,000 horses left behind in the southern city have just been removed from the city, and they are tired.
Suddenly, they were violently attacked by 3,000 troops of the Huashan Army, and it is strange that you say that they can stop it. In a short period of time, the thousand soldiers and horses were completely finished.
"Damn, it's Huashan Army! When did these Huashan troops come over? Aren't they still in the east of the river? After the battle, Yao Xiang finally knew who the opponent in front of him was, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry in his heart.
As soon as Hua Shanjun appeared here, at least his original purpose and plan had been disrupted. Now it is no longer a question of whether you can take the place of the party, but whether you can save your life.
He could already see that the Huashan army in front of him was not only brave, but also more numerous than the people on his side. If you play like this again, you can only play it completely. Thinking of this, he hurriedly rode his horse to Murong Qiang's side.
"General Murong, the enemy is fierce, and we have far fewer people here than the other party, which is very disadvantageous to me! Let's withdraw to the other city gates as soon as possible, gather the army as soon as possible, and deal with these Huashan troops! Yao Xiang suggested to Murong Qiang.
"Withdraw!" Murong Qiang also saw the scene in front of him, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly rode towards the east gate first.
Seeing this, Yao Xiang hurriedly beckoned his group of men and generals, and followed closely behind Murong Qiang and the others to evacuate.
At this time, outside the southern city, those Yan troops who were originally attacking the city, seeing the chaos behind them, where did they care about the siege, most of them followed the commander to the east gate.
Only some people, unaware of the situation, still ran towards the place where the troops were stationed before, and naturally ran into Li Xin and them head-on.
Seeing the enemy fleeing, Li Xin immediately ordered a large group of men and horses to chase after him. The distance between the south gate and the east gate is not far away, but it is only a little more than a mile, so after just turning a corner, it is already there.
It was precisely because the two places were too close to each other that when there was a big battle on the southern side of the city, the Yan army in the eastern city quickly got the news. All the soldiers and horses had already withdrawn from the city, just in time to catch up with Murong Qiang and the others.
So, when Li Xin led 3,000 men and horses to the outside of Dongcheng, the other party had already gathered more than 3,000 men and horses and began to line up.
"Kill!" Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's foothold was not stable and the formation was undecided, it was when the army's morale was chaotic, Li Xin took the lead in killing the past. After only a few rounds of fighting, he broke into the enemy formation and fought with the Yan army.
Seeing this situation, Murong Qiang hurriedly sent people to the other two gates to gather troops, preparing for them to rush over from the north and south directions to surround this Huashan army. But how did he know that at this time, those Yan troops in Beicheng had already rushed to support the Yan army outside Xicheng.
Because Liao Chuan led 2,000 men and horses, he was killed outside Xicheng later than Li Xin. The Yan army there is also not helpful, and it can't be stopped at all. But one thing is different, after the Yan army generals in Beicheng got the news, they didn't hesitate, they directly gathered all the men and horses, and then rushed to Xicheng to support.
Therefore, outside Xicheng at this time, Liao Chuan was also leading everyone to fight the enemy. As a result, the defenders of the city were stunned, because there was a big battle on both sides, and they didn't know what they should do.
"My lord, shall we go out and help?" At the head of the city, the county Cheng had just come from the west of the city to report the situation, and at this time, he saw that there was chaos outside the east of the city, so he couldn't help asking.
"Help? How can we help? The armies of the two sides are mixed together, and we can't help even if we want to! Not to mention the Huashan Army! They fight, and we people can only be sent to death in the past! The Gaodu county commander looked at the sound of shouting and killing outside the city, and from time to time there were screams, and he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, and hurriedly vetoed the county Cheng's proposal.
"That'..... Shall we just watch from the city? ”
"What else else? Isn't there nothing we can do? Either way, let's wait until the end of the war! The county magistrate glanced at him and said lightly.
In fact, he was also worried in his heart that if the Huashan army was defeated, Li Xin would be held accountable in the future, and he was afraid that he would suffer hardship. The victory of the Huashan Army is of course a good thing, but the problem is that I am afraid that I will also hold myself accountable for standing by and watching.
The battle outside the city made the group of people at the head of the city tremble. When they saw the Yan army's siege just now, they were already panicking, not to mention the frontal battle outside the city now.
As the sky outside gradually brightened, the battle outside the city finally began to slowly become clear.
On the Xicheng side, Liao Chuan led the army to fight the enemy army twice as large as himself, and he couldn't pull away for a while, but at the same time, he also dragged the 5,000 enemy troops. In this way, Li Xin's side will fight with more than 4,000 enemy troops, and the strength of the two sides is not much different.
After nearly an hour of fighting, Li Xin singled out those enemy generals as targets, and now there are several enemy generals who have died under his sword. So much so that when those enemy generals saw him later, they couldn't help but feel a little upset.
Li Xin is looking for his goal, for him, after this battle, no one else has any weight, but Yao Xiang, he cares more. When the sky gradually brightened, he finally found Yao Xiang, who was fighting in the enemy army.
"I've finally found you, I'd like to see what you're up to!" After discovering Yao Xiang, Li Xin immediately killed him all the way.
With such a clear movement, it's no wonder that Yao Xiang can't notice it. He hadn't seen Li Xin, and of course he didn't know who this person who rushed towards him with a strange long knife in his hand was, but that didn't prevent him from being on guard.
"Who's coming?" Yao Xiang rode his horse and blocked a knife cut by Li Xin, shouting at the same time.
"Huashan Army Li Xin is here! Yao Jingguo, do you dare to fight me? When Li Xin heard this, he couldn't help laughing a few times, and then asked.
"Li Xin! Li Xin is here! Huashan Army Li Xin arrived in person? Hearing this, some of the Yan soldiers who were in the midst of the battle around couldn't help but be startled.
To say that in the past year or so, there have been a lot of things in the world, but the biggest thing should be the matter of Fu Qin being expelled and then destroyed. With the smooth battles of the Huashan army again and again, they reversed Qin to take Chang'an, Dingguan Zhongde Hedong, and then destroyed Qin and defeated the Yan army not long ago.
These things are already known to everyone, not to mention those of them who have been in Hanoi for a while. In everyone's opinion, Li Xin of Huashan Army is definitely a famous person, he may not be called a famous general in the world, but at least he is also a number one figure.
In addition, during the battle just now, he was seen by many people when he killed the enemy, so it is strange that he could not shake at this time.
"Li Xin, Li Hantang! It's you! I didn't expect you to come in person! Yao Xiang was also very surprised, he thought that the soldiers and horses here were just led by a certain general of the Huashan Army, but he didn't expect that Li Xin personally led the army.
"Li knows that you will cross the river to the north and go north, and you will take the party to restore your strength. It's a pity that you have come to the wrong place, this party is the land of my Huashan army, how can you touch it! Today's battle just let me see what Yao Jingguo, who has been praised by others, is capable of! Li Xin looked at him and said lightly.
"Okay, since that's the case, then so-and-so will fight you!" Hearing this, Yao Xiang was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that his plan had already been seen through, and the other party seemed to be waiting for him to take the bait here. A sense of frustration rose from his heart, as if he felt Li Xin's contempt for him, and even responded to this challenge.
After saying that, he directly rode his horse and rushed towards Li Xin, and a spear in his hand stabbed forward, straight to Li Xin's chest.
"Good time!" Li Xin sneered, swung the Mo knife in his hand, rushed up two steps, and swept the opponent's spear away with the opponent's knife, and slashed his mount straight down.
The first thing to solve in the confrontation between infantry and cavalry is naturally the problem of their mounts, and Li Xin is still better at foot combat than horse combat.
Originally, the most terrifying power of cavalry lies in its impact. But now that the two armies are attacking, everyone is fighting together, and there are people all around, Yao Xiang wants to exert the power of the war horse, that is impossible.
Of course, although it can't be charged, there is at least a condescending advantage. But in the face of Li Xin's attack at this time, this little advantage can't take too many benefits.
