Chapter 521: The God of War is defeated
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Zhuo County, Youzhou, in modern times, includes Beijing, Baoding and other places. After the remnants of the Youlai Army, the Big Spear Army, and the Goman Army fled into Zhuo County, they did not dare to stop, and still fled all the way to the northeast.
Liu Xiujun chased after him. The rebels were forced to pass through Guangyang from Zhuo County and enter Youbeiping County.
Beiping County on the right is a large area from Tangshan in the south to Chifeng in the north, which already includes part of the northeast. If the rebel army continues to run northeast, it will have to enter western and eastern Liaoning.
I have to admit that these three rebel armies are really capable of running, from the west of Jizhou, to the north of Youzhou.
I also have to admire, Liu Xiu is really able to chase, and seems to have made up his mind, that is, to completely annihilate the main forces of the three rebel armies, Youlai, Dagun, and Goman.
When they arrived in Youbeiping County, the rebel army could no longer run, so they opened up a posture and fought a decisive battle with Liu Xiujun. At this time, Liu Xiu commanded only 10,000 light cavalry, and because the pursuit was too far, the large army could not keep up at all.
The 10,000 light cavalry led by Liu Xiu defeated the rebel army again in Youbeiping County, and the rebel army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and began to rout to the north. Liu Xiu was still unrelenting and continued to lead his troops to pursue.
The rebels fled all the way to the north bank of the river. Liu Xiu led the cavalry under his command and followed one after another.
The battle reached this point, and the three rebel armies were already on the verge of collapse, and Liu Xiu knew that as long as he worked harder, he would definitely be able to annihilate the Youlai Army, the Big Spear Army, and the Goman Army in one go.
But at this critical moment, what Liu Xiu never expected was that on the north bank of the river, another part of a big gun army suddenly appeared.
This army of pikemen was not very large, only seven or eight thousand men, but it was a vigorous new force.
On the other hand, on Liu Xiu's side, the light cavalry under his command is less than 10,000 people, and after such a long journey, he has long been sleepy and lacking horses.
After receiving reinforcements from other parts of the Big Gun Army, the morale of the rebel army was greatly increased, and they immediately turned around and launched a counterattack against Liu Xiujun.
The exhausted cavalry can no longer launch cavalry charges against the enemy, and can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. In this way, the advantage of the cavalry is gone.
The rebel army of tens of thousands will besiege thousands of cavalry led by Liu Xiu.
At this time, Liu Xiu also realized that he had won a series of battles, which led to the rash advance of the enemy, and the situation was critical.
He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to break through the encirclement with the whole army.
But now that the Han army wants to break through, how easy is it? The rebel army, which was chased and beaten by the Han army all the way, was all holding back their anger, and now they finally have the upper hand, how can people miss this opportunity?
The soldiers of the rebel army, pulling a stumbling rope, swarmed towards the Han army. Then came a series of war horses, which fell to the ground with a bang, and the cavalry on the horses fell to the ground, and then were stabbed to death by the indiscriminate blades of the numerous rebels.
Liu Xiu grabbed a spear from the guards beside him and urged the horse to rush out. The two rebel soldiers who came on, pulling the stumbling ropes, ran to his left and right.
When the tripping horse rope was dragged to the front of the war horse, Liu Xiu clamped the horse's belly with his legs and lifted the reins at the same time. The horse leaped to his feet and jumped over the top of the tripwire.
After landing, following the inertia of the war horse, Liu Xiu stabbed out with a spear, stabbing an enemy soldier who rushed to the ground to the ground.
A soldier fell, and a large group of soldiers rushed up, and people shouted: "Liu Xiu is here!" Liu Xiu is here! Kill Liu Xiu! Avenge your brothers! Kill Liu Xiu—"
Listening to the shouts of the rebels, Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he held a spear in his hand and urged his horse forward to charge. When he approached the crowd, he stabbed his spear forward with all his might, and the rebel soldiers on the opposite side subconsciously raised their shields to block.
There was a crisp click in the ear chakra, the wooden shield shattered, and at the same time, the spear in Liu Xiu's hand was also broken into two. With a flick of his arm, he threw half of his spear out and smashed it on the head of one of the rebel soldiers.
With two screams, Liu Xiu pulled out his saber and slashed outward, ding, two balls of sparks appeared in the air, and two crossbow arrows swirled in the air and flew out diagonally.
However, Liu Xiu blocked the crossbow arrows coming from the side, but failed to block the arrow shot from behind.
The arrow was impartial and hit the hip of Liu Xiu's horse. The horse was in pain, neighing and galloping forward.
Seeing that there were enemy soldiers running in front of him pulling the tripping horse, Liu Xiu wanted to control the war horse again, and crossed the tripping horse rope, but the war horse no longer listened to his command.
Poof!
The two front hooves of the war horse were stumbled firmly by this tripping horse. The war horse, along with Liu Xiu on horseback, fell forward together.
Due to inertia, Liu Xiufei threw himself three meters away, and after landing, he rolled forward three or four meters away before his body stopped.
The helmet on top of Liu Xiu's head didn't know where it fell, and a few strands of hair fell from the top of his head.
The surrounding rebel soldiers thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and swarmed up, Liu Xiu grabbed the Chixiao Sword from the ground, shook his body, and rushed back towards the crowd, and the Chixiao Sword swept out.
Sand –
The blade slashed through the chests of the three soldiers, and with three screams, the three fell on their backs together. Liu Xiu stepped over their corpses, and the Chixiao Sword stabbed forward, hitting the front door of one of the soldiers, and the tip of the sword poked out of the back of his head.
Liu Xiu killed several people in a row, and temporarily retreated the besieging enemy.
At this time, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao and others ran to Liu Xiu's approach, Long Zhun and Long Xiao led the guards, holding swords to kill the enemy, Long Yuan pulled Liu Xiu's arm and asked with concern: "King, how are you?" "I'm fine!" Liu Xiu got a chance to breathe, gasped for breath, and looked around, his cavalry had been completely overwhelmed by the enemy, some of them were tripped by the enemy with men and horses, and some of them were swarmed up
of the enemy pulled down the horses.
Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Our army has lost this battle, retreat quickly!" As he spoke, he looked at Long Yuan and said, "Long Yuan, follow me, I'll take you and wait for you to break out!" ”
Before the words fell, Liu Xiu raised the Chixiao Sword and rushed to kill the enemy army in front.
The cavalry below also gathered on Liu Xiu's side, but most of the cavalry had already lost their horses, so they could only protect Liu Xiu on foot and break out.
At the critical moment, Liu Xiu used all his skills, the Chixiao sword in his hand, flying up and down, and the rebel soldiers around him, he died if he stuck to it, and he died when he touched it.
Since Liu Xiu arrived in Hebei, the number of times he personally went into battle to kill the enemy has been very small, which may make people gradually forget, Liu Xiu himself is also a very strong, superb martial arts general.
Back then, in Kunyang, the person who took the lead in the charge was Liu Xiu, who killed the enemy army and killed dozens of enemies in a row, which was unstoppable.
Now Liu Xiu once again showed his ability to charge into battle, and led the Han soldiers under his command to break through the encirclement of the enemy army.
But it was rare for the rebel army to seize such an opportunity to put Liu Xiu to death, so how could they let him go easily?
Liu Xiu fled all the way south with the remnants of his command, and the rebel army of tens of thousands was in hot pursuit.
The two sides started the mode of chasing and fleeing again, but this time the roles of the two sides were reversed, becoming Liu Xiu running in front and the rebels chasing behind.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides could not be widened, Liu Xiu was directly in front of him, and rushed to kill a group of cavalry. This team of cavalry, led by one person, is Geng Yi, and behind him, there are also generals Wang Feng.
The number of cavalry led by Geng Yi was small, only a few hundred horsemen, and in the face of tens of thousands of rebel troops, their hundreds of horsemen were difficult to resist.
Wang Feng urged the horse to come to Liu Xiu's approach, turned over and dismounted, handed over the reins to Liu Xiu, and said urgently: "The king is leaving, I will wait for the queen of the palace!" ”
At this time, Liu Xiu had already killed his face covered with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the enemy, and even he didn't know how many wounds he had on his body.
He took the reins, mounted his horse, and looked back, only to see that the crowds of rebels were still chasing after them, still shouting the slogan of 'kill Liu Xiu'.
He burst out laughing, and said to Geng Yi, Wang Feng and the others nearby: "This time, I almost made the thief army laugh. (Original words: A few are scornful!) )
There may be many factors in the body of the loser, but the body of the successful person always has the same characteristics.
Every time Cao Cao lost a battle, he would always laugh out loud, laugh at his own shortcomings, laugh at the enemy's failure to kill him, and boost his morale. And Liu Xiu, who was nearly two hundred years earlier than Cao Cao, was also like this, although he suffered a defeat, although he was chased and killed by the rebel army, he was almost killed, but he was not depressed, nor was he disheartened, but he could still say with a smile, almost let go
The thieves saw their own jokes.
When Geng Yi and the others heard this, they couldn't help but laugh and cry. Geng Yi said: "The king is leaving!" I'm waiting to escort the king! As he spoke, Geng Yi took off the longbow on his back and rode on his horse, protecting Liu Xiu while continuously releasing arrows backwards.
At this time, Geng Yi was really like a divine help, the arrow was not missing, and every time the arrow was shot, there was always an enemy soldier who fell to the ground. He shot more than a dozen arrows in a row, killing more than a dozen enemies in total.
It's just that the enemy's strength is too much, and it can't be resisted by Geng Yi's dozen or dozens of arrows. A large number of rebel armies fanned up, wanting to besiege Liu Xiu and others again.
At this moment, several arrows shot out of the crowd of the rebel army and headed straight for Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu held his sword to block a few arrows, but one of the arrows still cut through the belly of the war horse, tearing it open a long bloody hole.
The war horse was frightened by the pain, and the horse, which was already unable to run fast, suddenly galloped forward like crazy. Liu Xiu, who was on the horse, hurriedly pulled the reins, but it was useless, and the frightened war horse ran forward with all his strength.
The speed of the frightened war horse was too fast, Liu Xiu had no choice but to put away the Chixiao Sword, hugged the neck of the war horse tightly with both hands, and the whole person lay on the horse's back.
The war horse galloped along the shore of the river and ran up a hillside.
Geng Yi, Wang Feng and other Han soldiers saw it clearly, and they were all shocked. Liu Xiu was lying on the back of the horse, and he couldn't see clearly, but they could really see that the top of the hillside was a cliff.
"Care, King—"
"The king dismounts—"
People shouted repeatedly, but it was useless, the distance was too far, Liu Xiu couldn't hear it clearly, and his ears were full of whirring wind whistling at this time.
The war horse ran along the hillside, until it reached the top of the mountain, and when it came to the platform at the top of the mountain, it did not pause, and directly crossed the platform and ran to the cliff, and then the horse jumped up and jumped out from the edge of the cliff.
The posture of the war horse jumping over the cliff, the figure is very beautiful, and the sunlight pours down, forming a halo on the body of a person and a horse.
At that moment, the horse seemed to be carrying Liu Xiu and soaring into the sky. At this moment, the soldiers of the Han army under the mountain were dumbfounded, and the soldiers of the pursuing rebel army were also dumbfounded.
People stared at the men and horses flying high in the air, almost forgetting to breathe. They watched as the man jumped to the limit, paused in the air for a moment, and then fell headlong from a great height.
Boom! With a muffled sound, this person fell into the Shunshui River together. In the rushing water, only a huge wave splashed, and then, there was nothing, and the people and horses disappeared into the river.
