Chapter 211: A Great Victory
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
The person who shot these two arrows was Fu Jun, and he was joined by Liu Xiu, Zhu You, and many cavalrymen. With the arrival of Liu Xiu, Zhu You, Fu Jun and others, the three people also converged in one place here in the Chinese military tent.
The dozens of personal soldiers outside the camp tent, where could they withstand the charging of these many cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of personal soldiers were killed.
Seeing the end of the battle outside, Xu Xiling walked out of the tent quickly, and casually threw Pan Ji's severed head outward, and said loudly: "The head of the enemy commander Pan Ji is here!" ”
Seeing that Xu Xiling was safe and sound, and he successfully killed the enemy's main general, everyone present was surprised and delighted. Liu Xiu urged the horse to come to Xu Xiling, turned over and dismounted, looked her up and down carefully, and saw that she was indeed uninjured, so he completely relieved his heart and said: "Xiling, you rest here, and the next battle will be handed over to us!"
”
Xu Xiling said: "Lord, I have used the mouth of Pan Ji to lead all the enemy troops to the riverside, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, and now there are only more than 2,000 sheep to be slaughtered!" Hearing this, Liu Xiu was overjoyed. When he was fighting, he felt strange that the officers and soldiers in the large battalion did not put up a desperate resistance, even if they were caught off guard by their own sneak attack and dizzy, but the will to fight of the county army was not so thin
Weak, and what is even more ridiculous is that the officers and soldiers in the barracks are desperately running to the west, but there is a dead end, and it is full of surging rivers, so what can the officers and soldiers do when they run to the river?
Now after listening to Xu Xiling's words, Liu Xiu understands that it turned out that she was the one who made trouble and led the officers and soldiers to a dead end.
Liu Xiu excitedly patted Xu Xiling's shoulder, then turned over and got on the horse, pointed the sword in his hand in the direction of the riverside, and shouted: "All the soldiers of the army, kill the enemy with me!" ”
Ma Wu laughed, couldn't help but give Xu Xiling a thumbs up, and said, "Xiling, you have made a great contribution this time!" How about it, do you want to follow Brother Ma to kill the enemy? As he spoke, he patted himself on the back.
Xu Xiling looked at Ma Wu, smiled at him, and then walked to Liu Xiu's horse, stretched out his hand, and asked with a smile: "Can the lord take Xiling to kill the enemy together?" ”
"This ......" There are still a lot of remaining enemy troops, and it is not without danger to bring Xu Xiling, but she took the initiative to stretch out her hand, and Liu Xiu was not easy to refuse, so she only groaned slightly, and then took Xu Xiling's hand and lifted it upward.
Xu Xiling rose into the air and sat firmly behind Liu Xiu. Carrying the two of them, instead of being frightened, Wu Qi became more and more excited, hissing. Liu Xiu knocked his feet on the horse's belly and shouted: "Drive-"
The black horse opened its four hooves and rushed straight in the direction of the river. Xu Xiling didn't ride with him, and Ma Wu didn't mind, he laughed, urged the horse with Cho Qi and others, and went to the river side by side with Liu Xiu.
At this time, more than 1,000 county soldiers and more than 1,000 county soldiers gathered here by the river, there were no boats moored at the ferry, there were no boats on the river, people were crowded on the shore, there was no formation to speak of, and the whole scene was chaotic.
Seeing the current situation of the officers and soldiers clearly, Ma Wu grinned, turned his head to look at Liu Xiu, and asked loudly: "Lord, do you want to live or die?" ”
Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said in a condensed voice: "Don't leave one!" ”
It's not that Liu Xiu is ruthless, but they really can't stay alive now.
The fundamental purpose of their trip was to prevent the county army from crossing the river, and the county army was blocked from crossing the river here in Shuyang, and it was very likely that they would go south from Shuyang and wait for an opportunity to cross the river, and it was impossible for them to take a large number of prisoners and the county army to fight guerrillas.
Moreover, killing all these officers and soldiers who have already crossed the river can also play a great deterrent effect on the county army, and at least it will make the county army dare not easily try to cross the river for a long time.
Liu Xiu is indeed a gentle person, but he is not a dead brain, and when it is time for him to be hard-hearted, he will also become hard-hearted.
Hearing Liu Xiu's order, Ma Wu raised his head to the sky and shouted: "The lord has an order, kill all the enemy troops!" Kill—"
"Kill—" the cavalry shouted in unison. People did not directly rush to kill the crowd of officers and soldiers, but moved sideways back and forth in front of the crowd of officers and soldiers, shooting crossbow arrows while galloping on horses.
The sound of the crossbow machine ejecting was endless, and looking at the crowd of officers and soldiers, the soldiers on the periphery were shot to the ground in a whole row.
Seeing that the companions in front of them were shot one after another, the soldiers behind were so frightened that their hairs stood on end, and they retreated one by one, and people crowded and collided with each other, and the scene was even more chaotic.
Seeing that they had been cornered by the enemy, the county army took the lead in counterattacking, and the people rushed towards the cavalry with spears and roars.
Seeing that the county army took the initiative to attack, the cavalry led by Liu Xiu retreated, and the two cavalry led by Ma Wu and Choshi were inserted diagonally from the left and right flanks of the county army.
The two cavalry under the command of Ma Wu and Choshi were like two sharp knives, penetrating deep into the enemy army, cutting the crowd of the county army into two parts.
The county army behind saw that the cavalry was menacing, especially Ma Wu and Choshi, who were simply unstoppable, and people did not dare to fight, so they turned around and ran back.
And the group of hundreds of county troops who were cut outside did not even have a chance to run back, and they were surrounded by cavalry and horses, which surrounded them.
Three cavalrymen, running around the crowd, kept firing crossbow arrows.
The soldiers on the periphery were like dumplings, and they were shot to the ground one after another. When the crossbow bolts ran out, the cavalry encirclement began to shrink, and the cavalry continued to gallop around the crowd, only occasionally stabbing spears into the crowd. This was a complete piece of flesh killing, and the county army, which was originally gathered into a large regiment, gradually became a small group, and hundreds of people also became a hundred and ten people. Looking at the ground again, the corpses were stacked on top of each other, most of them had been trampled by the war horses
Paste.
The blood that flowed out mixed with the rain flowed into the river, dyeing the water along the river red.
"Surrender! We surrendered - "The remaining hundred or so county soldiers, who had no morale at all, no longer had the fighting spirit to resist, and the people threw away their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground.
The county army is all elite soldiers carefully selected from the county soldiers of each county, and the combat power is strong and determined, and the county army can surrender on the battlefield, which is very rare.
However, the slaughter of the cavalry did not stop because of the surrender of the county army, and the cavalry swarmed up, and people raised their spears and poked at the county army who were kneeling on the ground mercilessly.
At the end of the battle, the cavalry relined themselves and lined up, and then looked at the ground in front of them, where a large area of corpses of the county soldiers was laid out.
This situation made the rest of the county army and county soldiers all frightened, and people involuntarily retreated again and again.
The soldiers in the back have all been squeezed into the river.
The cavalry, driven by the sound of the whistle, attacked again. The ensuing battle was no longer a battle, it was a completely one-sided slaughter.
Seeing that the enemy's cavalry was red-eyed and killing people like cutting vegetables, the officers and soldiers had no way to hide or escape, and they could only be forced to retreat into the river.
Some of the good ones can still float on the surface of the river, and those with bad water quality will not be able to see people directly after retreating into the river.
For these officers and soldiers who went into the water, the cavalry did not urge the horses to rush over, and the people reloaded the crossbow machine with crossbow arrows, aimed at the officers and soldiers in the river, and launched a salvo.
Arrows rained down, and countless officers and soldiers were shot dead in the river and their bodies were floating on the surface of the river. The bright red blood water stained the surface of the river red for a long time.
When the battle was over, Ma Wu, Cho Period, Zhu You, and Fu Jun urged their horses to come to Liu Xiu's approach, and they all intervened to salute and said, "My lord, the enemy army has been completely annihilated!" ”
In the battle just now, Liu Xiu just watched the battle and did not directly participate, because the overall situation had been decided, and there was no need for him to participate in it again. He nodded to Ma Wu and the others, urging the horse to walk forward.
Here on the shore, the corpses on the ground are covered with a thick layer, some with stumps, some with severed arms, some headless, and some disemboweled, and their condition is unbearable.
Looking at the river, the scene was even more tragic, the river turned into a red blood water, which was mixed with countless floating corpses, some of which were stuck with dozens of crossbow arrows, like hedgehogs.
The battlefield is both a Shura field, and it is no different from hell on earth.
Xu Xiling, who was sitting behind Liu Xiu, subconsciously hugged Liu Xiu's waist, closed his eyes, and his little face was tightly attached to Liu Xiu's back.
For her reaction, everyone present can understand, such a scene, not to mention that he is a girl's family, even if people like Liu Xiu and Ma Wu watched it, they also felt sick to their stomachs.
At this time, the cavalry had already dismounted their horses and cleaned the battlefield, and the people took back the crossbow arrows they had shot one by one, took them to the river, washed them with river water, and put them back into the quiver.
For the poor and white Zhutiandu Division, crossbow arrows are also a very important and scarce combat resource, if you don't recycle them yourself, wait for the distribution above, it is estimated that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.
After patrolling around the battlefield, Liu Xiu asked Ma Wu and the others beside him, "What are the casualties of the brothers?" ”
"One hundred and thirty-five of our brothers were killed in the battle, and eighty-nine were seriously wounded, not counting minor injuries."
Even in a crushing battle, the cavalry still suffered more than 200 casualties. Compared to the number of enemy casualties, the casualties of more than 200 of them were already very small.
Of course, the reason why the casualties of the Xiao cavalry were so few was that they cleverly used the time of the day, and this heavy rain came too timely, and second, they were taken by surprise and attacked them unprepared, killing officers and soldiers by surprise.
In addition, there is a very important reason, that is, Xu Xiling successfully assassinated Pan Ji, the chief general of the officers and soldiers, which not only left the officers and soldiers leaderless, but also gave the officers and soldiers a fatal order to retreat to the riverside.
All kinds of factors accumulated together to complete the great victory of the cavalry army's long-distance attack.
The west bank of the water.
The fighting that took place on the side of the camp on the east bank was completely unaware of it on the west bank.
The officers and soldiers stationed at the ferry were hiding in the thatched huts to avoid the rain, when suddenly one of the officers and soldiers stood up, stared at the river with wide eyes, and exclaimed: "That...... Is that human? Hearing his words, the rest of the officers and soldiers also stood up one after another, looked at the river, and saw that there were a few people floating on the river, all of whom were using leather armor as floating boards, desperately swimming to the shore, and some of them had arrows stuck in their bodies
Arrow.
"It's people! Someone is swimming over the river! "Hurry up, let's go over and have a look!"
The officers and men in the thatched huts ran out one after another, and when they reached the shore, people used long bamboo poles to hook the officers and soldiers in the water and pull them to the shore one by one.
They hooked up a total of five people, and as soon as one of them came ashore, he was already out of breath and less in breath, and he saw that it was no longer possible, and there were two crossbow arrows deeply inserted in his back.
The other four are okay, although they all have only half a life left, but at least they are still alive.
A soldier, who was not injured, but was so tired that he collapsed, said intermittently: "Hurry up...... Hurry up and ...... to Lord Commander Newspaper, East ...... East Coast Camp ...... Attacked...... ...... attacked" The officers and men present gasped when they heard this, and the people did not dare to delay, but lifted a few soldiers and ran towards a nearby carriage for transporting goods.
