Chapter 986: The two armies are at a stalemate

A group of Hun cavalry met Geng Shu, and two scimitars slashed from Geng Shu's left and right.

Geng Shu parried with the halberd, and while holding the two scimitars, the halberd swept outwards horizontally, and the chests of the two Hun cavalrymen splashed blood mist together, and they fell off their horses almost at the same time.

A group of Youzhou turquoise cavalry also rushed up and fought with the Hun cavalry. Geng Shu opened a bloody road, carried the tiger's head halberd, and chased straight to the king of Ori.

Ao Ri chased the king while riding his horse and galloping, while secretly twisting the bow and arrows, Geng Shu was getting closer and closer to him, when the two were only more than ten meters away, he suddenly turned around, aimed at Geng Shu who caught up, and shot an arrow.

This time, Geng Shu was already prepared, and as soon as he picked up the tiger's head halberd outward, he heard a crisp sound, and the arrows that flew over were picked up and flew into the air.

Seeing this, King Ao Ri was horrified, hurriedly put on the bowstring and an arrow, and continued to shoot an arrow at Geng Shu.

Geng Shu's head was tilted to the side, and the arrow flew past his cheek, not giving Ao Ri the king a chance to shoot the third arrow, Geng Shu chased after the king of Ao Ri to the front, and the halberd stabbed forward, straight to the back of the opponent's heart. King Ori was so frightened that he ducked downwards and narrowly escaped the blow. At the same time, he threw the longbow in his hand backwards with all his strength and smashed it towards Geng Shu. Geng Shu snorted coldly, waved the halberd outward, and heard a click, and the longbow that flew over was cut in two by him.

King Ori hugged the horse's neck with both hands, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, urged the war horse, and galloped forward desperately.

Geng Shu snorted, threw the halberd in his hand viciously forward, and heard a pop in the ear chakra.

He screamed, couldn't sit still on the back of the warhorse, fell sideways, and fell off the horse with a pop.

Seeing that King Ori was injured and fell off his horse, four Hun cavalry immediately rushed over from all around, and attacked Geng Shu together. Geng Shu didn't think about it, he took out the ring head knife under his ribs, and fought with the four Hun cavalry.

Jingle Bell! The sound of iron weapons clashing sounded continuously, and Geng Shu's chest and back armor were each stabbed twice, but his ring head knife also successfully cut off the two Huns from their horses.

The remaining two Hun cavalrymen both roared, and one of them directly abandoned his war horse and pounced on Geng Shu.

Poof! Geng Shu and the Hun cavalry who flew over fell off their horses together.

After landing on the ground, Geng Shu stabbed the opponent in the chest. Finally, the Hun cavalry rode up, came close to Geng Shu, and swept his neck with a sword. Geng Shu hurriedly drew his knife and swung his knife to block.

When! With a loud bang, Geng Shu took a few steps back. The war horses of the Hun cavalry swept past him, and then, the other party pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and recoiled back, and the scimitar had already chopped Geng Shu's head.

This time, Geng Shu did not block again, but rolled on the ground, and swung a knife with the momentum, and heard a click, the right front hoof of the war horse was shortened in response, the war horse neighed, and fell forward, and the Hun soldiers on the war horse also grabbed the ground.

With the crisp sound of bones breaking, the Hun soldier's neck was directly frustrated, and he was killed.

After eliminating the four Hun cavalry, Geng Shu stood up from the ground with a breath, he carried the blood-dripping ring head knife, and walked towards the king of Ori step by step.

At this time, King Ori had not yet lost his breath, he had a tiger-headed halberd on his back, and people were squirming on the ground.

Geng Shu walked to the front of the king of Ori Chai, looked down at the dying king of Orichai, sneered, he raised the ring knife in his hand high, and made a gesture to chop down.

With two strange screams, two more Hun cavalry rushed up, Geng Shu broke off and threw out the raised ring head knife directly.

The ring-headed knife swirled in the air, hitting the chest of a Hun cavalryman, and poof, the Hun cavalry on horseback fell backwards.

Immediately afterwards, Geng Shu pulled out the tiger-headed halberd inserted in the back of King Ao Ri Chase, and swung it with all his strength to the side, clicking, and there was another crisp sound.

The Hun war horse that galloped over was beheaded by him with a halberd. The headless horse's corpse fell to the ground with a bang, and the Hun cavalry on horseback fell far away.

Ao Ri Zhuwang lay on the ground, turned his head with great effort, looked at Geng Shu beside him, and said intermittently: "Geng ...... Geng Shu ......"

"It is advisable to hang the head of the barbarian mansion on the street to show thousands of miles. Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away! As he spoke, Geng Shu picked up his halberd and slashed downward with all his might.

Listening to a click, the edge of the halberd slashed on the neck of King Orichai, and the headless corpse remained in place, and the severed head was chopped out for a long distance.

Geng Shu walked over and raised the severed head of King Ori high with the tip of his halberd, and he held the halberd in one hand, holding it high in the air, roaring loudly around.

The surrounding Hun soldiers saw the severed head of the king of Ori, and their faces changed suddenly, and the people no longer had the intention of fighting, so they turned their horses and fled.

Geng Shu carried the war halberd, walked back to his war horse, jumped on the horse, pointed at the Hun cavalry who fled in the desert with the war halberd, and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers of my Han army, kill all the barbarians, kill!" ”

"Kill-" The Youzhou Turquoise cavalry and the cavalry of the Western Expeditionary Army who were present all shouted in unison, and people followed Geng Shu and began to pursue the fleeing Hun cavalry with all their might.

The scale of this battle is not large, the strength of the two sides is added together, there are more than 10,000 horsemen, but the battle is very fierce, the casualties on both sides are not small, but with the king of Ao Ri was killed by Geng Shu, the Hun cavalry suddenly lost their fighting spirit, and also lost the will to continue fighting, they gave up resistance, and fled, and the next battle evolved into a pursuit and slaughter of one side to the other.

I have to say that Geng Shu did have a set of fighting the Huns, and he never lost in his confrontation with the Huns.

The two brothers, Geng Yi and Geng Shu, the former's glorious achievements were reflected in the internal war, while the latter's glorious achievements were reflected in the external war.

Jia Lan thought that the Hun cavalry could break the Han army that was attacking the Yin Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the Hun cavalry led by King Ori was intercepted and killed by the Han cavalry led by Geng Shu halfway, and what was even worse was that King Ao Ri was also killed by Geng Shu.

The confrontation between the two armies is like a chessboard game, the competition is to see who can see through the other party's strategy, and at the same time prevent the other party from seeing through its own strategy.

Jia Lan made a lot of calculations, but he failed to calculate Geng Shu's link, which led to the complete collapse of his layout system.

Geng Shu defeated the Hun cavalry, Han Xin led the siege of the city, without any interference, 20,000 troops, in one go, broke through the city, and successfully occupied the city.

When Jia Lan led his troops to Quanyin, Han Xin's troops had already entered the city and had already completed the deployment at the head of the city.

The troops led by Jia Lan were fiercely counterattacked by Han Xin's defenders, and the rolling wood and stones on the city's head were like snowflakes, and the arrow arrays that flew down were like a storm. The soldiers under Jia Lan's command couldn't attack at all.

After fighting for half an hour, Jia Lan saw that his casualties were too great, and finally had no choice but to retreat.

At this time, the 50,000 army led by Jia Lan was blocked by the Han army in the plain area between Huanyin and Huanyang.

To the north of them is Huanyin City, to the south is Huanyang City, to the east is the river, to the west is the mountains, and in the four directions of the southeast, the northwest, all of them have become dead ends.

The chance of forcibly breaking through was very slim, Jia Lan could only lead his troops to be stationed between the two cities of Huanyin and Huanyang, and at the same time, he ordered his subordinates with good water properties to swim across the river and send a message to Lu Fang to inform Lu Fang of urgency.

Now the only hope of Jia Lanbu is to wait for Lu Fang's reinforcements.

The battle in Xihe County began to stalemate. Jia Lanbu was trapped between the two cities, and it was difficult to break through, but in the same way, because there were many trenches dug out by Jia Lanbu in this area, the Han army was unwilling to take the initiative to attack Jia Lanbu, and the two sides were temporarily in a situation where no one could help anyone.

But neither side had time to spend it. The grain and grass of Jia Lan's department are very limited, they have no capital and Han army to consume, and similarly, the Han army is eager to cooperate with Liu Xiu's battle against Kui Huan, and they also have no capital to consume with Jia Lan.

That's where the embarrassment on both sides comes in at the moment.

The Western Army led by Feng Yi was temporarily dragged to Xihe County, while in Luoyang, the Han army had already begun to march westward.

This time, the Han army marched westward, and the soldiers and horses dispatched were 100,000 elite soldiers, Liu Xiu, the son of heaven, who drove the expedition in person, and Geng Yi, Ma Wu, Wang Ba, Sai Zun, Fu Jun and other generals who went out with Liu Xiu.

The banner of the Han army's westward expedition was not to crusade against Kui Huan, but to crusade against Gongsun Shu, but the road they took was not from Sanfu to Hanzhong, but to borrow the Longdao from Kui Huan and enter Shu from Longdao.

This is Liu Xiu's last fight for Kui Huan, if Kui Huan is willing to borrow Longdao and let his army pass, it means that he is not dead set on Gongsun Shu, if he refuses to borrow Longdao, then there is nothing to say, his own 100,000 army is Kui Huan's gravedigger.

The 100,000 army, starting from Luoyang, went all the way to the west, and entered the territory of Hongnong County in a short time. There are a total of seven counties in the Sili area, Henan, Hedong, Hanoi, Hongnong, and Sanfu (Jingzhao Chang'an, Fufeng County, and Fengyi County are collectively referred to as Sanfu).

Hongnong is the smallest county in the Sili region, with only nine counties in the county, but the population is large, and the nine cities are also very lively and prosperous.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, it is just across Hongnong County. There are two routes, one is by dry road and the other is by water. Liu Xiu went out with the army, so naturally he couldn't take the waterway.

After entering Hongnong, Geng Yi and Ma Wuzhu suggested to Liu Xiu that now they should kill Kui Huan's son Kui Xun.

Liu Xiu thought about it for a while, and finally rejected the general's request, now kill Kui Xian, Kui Huan will never turn back, Liu Xiu feels that it is too early to kill Kui Xian now.

This is the sorrow of proton, fate is not in your own hands at all, but in the hands of others, and your own life or death depends on the words of others.

The army marched to Hongnong City, the county town of Hongnong, and Liu Xiu sent a messenger to She, one step ahead, to Liangzhou to see the hustle and bustle, and to explore the hustle and bustle.

Lai She was ordered to take Liu Xiu's edict and go to Tianshui in Liangzhou.

He made it to Tianshui without any problems, but he didn't get to see Kui Huan.

Not long after he entered Tianshui City, he met an old acquaintance, to be exact, this old acquaintance took the initiative to find him, Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan is a general under Kui Huan, but he has a very good relationship with Luoyang, and has been ordered by Kui Huan many times to send envoys to Luoyang, and admires Liu Xiu very much. Ma Yuan and Lai She are also old acquaintances, and when they met in Tianshui City this time, Lai She was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Brother Fubo? I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Fubo is okay? ”

Ma Yuanzi Fubo. He quickly dismounted, walked to the front of Laixi, looked to the left and right, and pulled him into a small alley on the side of the street. Lai She's face was puzzled, and he didn't understand why Ma Yuan was so nervous and mysterious.

He asked, "Brother Fubo, what are you?" ”

"Doctor, why did you come to Tianshui now?" Lai's official position is Taizhong Doctor. Lai Xi looked surprised and said, "I came on the orders of His Majesty!" ”

"It's late, it's too late!" Ma Yuan shook his head as he spoke.

"What's too late?" Lai Shu asked with a blank face.
