At dawn, a group of cavalry marched silently and hurriedly on the official road, and the fire was blazing not far behind the cavalry, shouting and killing, as if there were thousands of troops and horses, following closely to kill.

The cavalry numbered less than two thousand, all wounded and tired. However, the formation is not chaotic during the march, the swords and armor are complete, and the strict military discipline can be seen.

From time to time, some knights were short of horsepower and slowly fell behind, and when they saw that they couldn't catch up, they stopped their horses and turned back. First, remove the crossbow from your back, break off the crossbow arm, and throw it away. Then he drew his saber in his hand, and stood in the middle of the road, with a firm expression, just waiting for the enemy to chase after him, rushing head-on, and being swallowed up in an instant.

brazenly went to death, and the mantis arm was used as a car.

The leading general was covered in blood, his beard was messy, and he held a snake spear in his right.

"General, the front is the position of our army." A knight beside him said.

The cavalry general looked up and saw that there was an army formation in front of him, the army was neat and tidy, the formation was round, the front row was heavy shield and spear, and there was a horse rejection in front of the formation, an iron thistle terrestris, and a large banner with a red character stood in the middle of the town. So he said in a deep voice: "Our army bypassed the front line from the right side, and fought again after the formation!" With that, Yang spurred his horse until he dismounted in front of the battle and went straight to the Chinese army.

The main general, Zhu Hong, hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "It's a blessing to see General Yuan." Where is General Zhou? ”

General Yuan's face was full of sadness, and he couldn't speak for a while, so he could only clench his fists with tears in his eyes.

At this time, Lu Rong was on both sides of the Chinese army, holding a crossbow to the enemy, and Han Shun beside him whispered: "It seems that this is Yuan Shouyi, the deputy commander of the Tiger Kui Army." ”

Lu Rong nodded slightly, seeing that the tiger general was still dripping blood from his hands at this time, and his voice was hoarse, it can be seen how many bloody battles he has experienced in this breakthrough.

Zhu Hong was also shocked to see Yuan Shouyi like this, but at this time, there was no time to care, the pursuit of the enemy army had stopped two miles in front of the battle, and Lingqiu had already had barbarian troops out of the city to set up a formation.

Zhu Hong hurriedly supported Yuan Shouyi and said, "General Yuan, you quickly get on your horse and lead the Hukui army to Laiyuan to enter the customs." Here's what I deserve for you. ”

Yuan Shou wiped away the tears one by one, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhu, my tiger warriors still have combat strength. This defeat is a great shame! If I don't take revenge, how can I say that in the face of the dead brothers of the Hukui Army, how can I comfort Zhou Shuai's spirit in the sky? Forgive me! ”

Zhu Hong hurriedly said: "General Yuan must not be strong!" The Metropolitan Protectorate has ordered you to return to the Guannai, and the official document is here! The previous general led the army in depth regardless of the military order, and it was a critical situation. Do you want to disobey the military order this time?! ”

"Don't dare, but ......"

Zhu Hong saw that the enemy camp had formed a formation and could not delay any longer, so he pulled Yuan Shouyi behind him, interrupted his speech, and drank: "Yuan Shouyi, the Tiger Kui Army is the pillar of our army, and General Zhou has worked hard for thirty years, do you want to cut it off here?" Don't go yet! ”

Yuan Shouyi was dragged along, looked back at Zhu Hong's back, his brows were tightly locked, and he slowly seemed to have an understanding, and then there were tears in his eyes, and his face was grateful and ashamed.

"General Zhu, take care! I'm waiting for you at the Fallen Horse Pass! After saying this, Yuan Shouyi raised his spear and strode away.

Zhu Hong's face was like frost, and he shouted loudly: "Herald, herald, order the whole army to fight, beat the drum!" Crossbowmen prepare! ”

Lu Rong could already see the enemy lineup at this time, the pursuing enemy troops were all light cavalry, about 3,000 people, Lu Rong knew that these 3,000 people were only chasing after the tail, and there should be a large number of enemy troops behind.

In the direction of Lingqiu were infantry, about two thousand, holding heavy shields, and they were slowly approaching at this time.

The crossbow carried by the Yan army this time is a crossbow, with a range of 600 yards, and when winding, you need to use your foot to pedal the crossbow body, pull the crossbow string with your arm, and wind it with the strength of your whole body, and the arrow shot is extremely powerful, several times that of the bow, and you can wear heavy armor with an arrow, but the rate of fire is slow. From entering the firing range to colliding with the formation, the enemy's light cavalry could only shoot four rounds per person.

Lu Rong estimated that hand-to-hand combat was probably inevitable.

Han Shun swallowed and spat, and whispered, "Obey orders, don't worry." ”

Lu Rong nodded, looked at Li Li sideways, Lizi also looked nervous, felt Lu Rong looking at him, and gave him a smile sideways, as if to say: It's okay to have me.

Lu Rong was slightly determined.

Here it comes!

Listening to the loud drumming of the opposite side and shouting for slaughter, the infantry phalanx began to accelerate forward, while the cavalry on the opposite side was still resting their horses outside the firing range.

Lu Rong knew that when the infantry phalanx came into contact with our army. The cavalry on the opposite side will surely attack our ribs on both flanks.

Lu Rong suddenly had a ridiculous idea, he felt that he was going to die in battle.

In fact, in the eyes of the main general Zhu Hong, the situation is not optimistic. Originally, it was expected that the Hukui army would break through this time, and with its mobility and combat power, it would open up some distance from the pursuing troops behind. Then Zhu Hong's troops only need to set up a formation on the official road, and after passing the Hukui army, while guarding against the defenders of Lingqiu, they will slowly retreat to Laiyuan, and then cooperate with the defense system built by the 500 soldiers who stayed in Laiyuan before, as well as the support of the Fallen Horse Pass not far away, and they can safely retreat to the pass.

Who would have thought that there would be a team of light cavalry tails chasing this time, it seems that the Northern Barbarians have also calculated their blood capital in order to completely annihilate the Tiger Kui Army. At this time, in the face of these 3,000 light horsemen, and then choosing to retreat slowly and mess up the formation, it is tantamount to suicide.

Just now, the Tiger Kui army swept through the military formation, and Zhu Hong also took a general look, the full strength of the 6,000 Tiger Kui army only broke through with less than 2,000 people, how many enemy troops were surrounded by this leader of the Dazhong Dynasty cavalry? How many people are chasing behind them?

Zhu Hong didn't dare to think about it. He just vaguely felt that he might not be able to go back.

"A team is ready to go, put!"

The herald gave the order and announced the beginning of the killing.

The enemy infantry had already entered the firing range, and the first crossbow team of 600 men pulled the trigger and poured the crossbow arrows in their hands over the brute's head. The hum of the bowstring when the crossbow bolts were fired was incessant, as if it was intersecting with the sound of the wind, and there was something desolate.

"The first team retreats, and the second team prepares!"

Lu Rong hurriedly stepped forward, raised his crossbow, and waited for the order.

"Put!"

Lu Rong listened to the order and pulled the trigger vigorously, regardless of whether his arrow shot accurately or not, he quickly took two steps back, bent down to wind it, but couldn't hang it up.

"You fucking release the trigger!" Han Shun yelled.

Lu Rong glanced at Han Shun blankly, and after glancing at the crossbow in his hand, he realized that he had been pulling the trigger, and there would be a ghost if the string could be hung.

Lu Rong swallowed and spit, he was too nervous.

Lu Rong had imagined the appearance of going into battle to kill the enemy countless times before, but when it came to this, he realized that this was not the case at all.

The crossbowmen were divided into four, and two of them had to guard against the cavalry's surprise attacks on the left and right, but they never fired arrows.

Lu Rong opened his eyes and knew that such a rain of arrows, which was not dense, was simply scratching his boots in the face of the infantry holding heavy shields, and could not cause huge casualties to the barbarian infantry.

But Lu Rong didn't know what else he could do now. Only listen to orders, release arrows, and wind them.

He operated mechanically, and waited for that moment of hand-to-hand combat.

The archers of the barbarian infantry also came into range, and waves of arrows rained down from the sky. The sky is overcast, and at first you can't see any arrows coming, but slowly the arrows are falling, and you stare at one of the arrows, ready to dodge, but see that it is going away from you, but you will suddenly notice that another arrow is coming at you, and you can't dodge it at all.

The shield bearers in the front could not protect the whole army, and from time to time the soldiers around them were hit by arrows to the end, turning over and over and wailing.

The cavalry also moved. The barbarian generals obviously commanded the troops well, and when the infantry was about to engage the battle, the cavalry began to accelerate, so the infantry on both sides began to fight, and the cavalry would also penetrate the middle army from both ribs.

Zhu Hong also drew his sword in his hand, his face twitched, and he raised his sword and shouted: "I, Yan Yijun, swear to defend the country!" ”

Several heralds also shouted loudly together: "Swear to defend the country!" A total of three shouts.

shouted three times, and then the whole army continued: "Fight to the death!" ”

"The spear team is steady, and the crossbow team destroys the crossbow! Draw the knife! ”

Lu Rong smashed the crossbow arm and pulled out the saber, the time to fight to the death came, and it was useless to think about it more.

The infantry had already engaged, and Lu Rong could already see the first barbarian who squeezed into the formation, being slashed in the face with a knife. And then there were the dead everywhere, scolding. A smell of blood came to my face.

Pear roared and was about to step forward, but was pulled by Qin Eryi.

"Pears, don't move, keep in formation!"

Han Shun kept pacing, and there were words in his mouth. It's as if you're looking for a qualified opponent.

The infantry on both sides kept fighting deeply, and from the sky, it seemed as if two squares were being pinched together by two hands, and pressed together fiercely.

In fact, two teams of infantry with a fairly close strength are fighting, and it is a long time to tell the winner, and both sides have to maintain their formation, grinding out the flesh and blood little by little, until one team collapses.

But the cavalry is different, its charging power can split the army into two in an instant, and the morale is at a low point.

Fortunately, the two cavalry of the barbarian were only light horses.

Zhu Hong had already arranged for the left and right armies not to move before the infantry engaged, and only waited for the enemy cavalry to charge into battle, but the huge fighting sound and blood on the front inevitably distracted the attention of the left and right armies.

This one is the god of life and death on the battlefield.

The first to be broken through the first layer of the front was the right side, although the barbarian cavalry that was originally in a wedge-shaped attack formation was slightly disturbed by the rejection of horses and iron dysentery, but the huge momentum still made the first row of gun and shield formations fall crookedly, and several barbarian cavalry just wanted to make a difference after crossing the first row of lines, they were turned into a sieve by the second row of gun and shield arrays. At the same time, the swordsmen hiding behind the shield stepped forward, or cut the legs of horses, or cut knights. But they were also cut off their heads and collapsed their sternums by the barbarians who broke through later.

Then the triumphant barbarian knight was pierced with a spear.

Cycle.

Lu Rong was on the right side of the Chinese army, and all this happened in front of him, although in fact the blood had not splashed on him, he already felt that he was covered in blood.

The barbarian cavalry had already broken through the second row of shields.

Han Shun shouted, then rushed forward, and while a knight who broke through the line was forced to stop, he grabbed the knight's leg with his left hand and stabbed him with a knife in his right hand.

Li Li also had red eyes, stepped forward quickly, and cut down a group of war horses that rushed over with a single sword.

Lu Rong was still stunned, his mouth was full of bitterness, and all kinds of shouts and killings, horse chirping, scolding, and orders came together in his ears, mixed with his heavy and rapid breathing, and the person was out of breath. The knife in his hand weighs 10,000 pounds, and he can't shake it.

A soldier staggered back to the spear shield array, his hand covered the back of his shoulder, and a large striking cut was drawn from his shoulder to his back, drenched in blood.

Lu Rong saw that it was Zhao Shi of Tongshi. This man from Shandong is the only one who has a family in Shili, and he always boasts that he has a little daughter who is just two years old, and it is a fun time.

At this time, Zhao Shi only had blood and fierceness in his eyes, he hooked his shoulders to look at the injury, bared his teeth and squeezed his eyebrows, muttered, and put the knife on again.

Lu Rong suddenly felt a little nauseous, but he didn't want to vomit, he wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do.

Lao Huang came from nowhere, slapped Lu Rong on the back of the head, helped him hold the knife tightly, and scolded: "What a daze!" Follow Lao Tzu, bad goods! ”

Lu Rong seemed to have just woken up, yelled twice, and rushed to the front of the battle with Lao Huang, seeing a barbarian fall off the horse, just struggling to stand up, Lao Huang jumped up from behind, stabbed the barbarian in the waist with a knife, hugged the barbarian's neck with one hand, and flipped to the ground.

The barbarian was dying and struggling, with great strength, Lao Huang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Xiao Lu, hurry up!" ”

Lu Rong rushed forward in two steps, but he couldn't think too much, his eyes were closed, his heart was horizontal, and he slashed at the barbarian's chest. Blood was splashed all over his body, and the knife was all over the place, Lu Rong reached out and touched it, and rubbed it on the tips of his fingers, it was a little sticky, not very fishy, just red and black, Lu Rong suddenly felt that everything was real.

This knife went down, and finally opened the meat, smacking and smacking in my heart, but it was nothing, but I faintly felt that the knife just now was a little unpleasant, if you use the stab can be sharper?

There are things, no matter how terrible they are, when you have done them, you will not be afraid.

The brute struggled twice and stopped moving. This barbarian is a strong man about thirty years old, with a dark pockmarked face, two beards, a big nose and a wide mouth, which is even more ugly than Qin Er.

Lu Rong even had the absurd urge to count how many pockmarks there were on his face.

Lao Huang pushed the corpse away and turned over. Drunk: "Fuck! Open your eyes and cut people! ”

Lu Rong nodded vigorously and looked around the battlefield, as if he was looking for the next one.

Lao Huang blew his nose and muttered, "Damn, make Lao Tzu's nose bleed." Xiao Lu, Lao Tzu will teach you one more sentence,"

As he spoke, he reached out and wiped it on Lu Rong's back, and continued:

"Don't be afraid of death, if you are afraid of death, you will really die!"
