Chapter 508: Worthy of Guilt
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
A few soldiers stood up and said, "General, the villain knows the nature of water!" β
Choshi nodded, and Zhengse said: "You wait to cross the river immediately, go to find the king, if you see the king, just say, we have fought to the death with the enemy in Yanzhou, worthy of the Han, and have not dishonored the prestige of the king!" β
Hearing this, several soldiers who stood up retreated in unison, and one of them had wet red eyes and said, "General, we are definitely not greedy for life and afraid of death!" The general fought to the death with the enemy in Henan, and we will never be in Hebei! β
The other soldiers also said in unison: "The villain is willing to follow the general, fight to the death with the enemy, and never return to Hebei secretly!" β
Choshi looked at a few soldiers and said: "You wait to go back to Hebei to find the king, we will wait for today's death battle, and it can still be remembered by future generations, if no one returns to Hebei, our reputation can only be slandered by the copper horse thief!" β
If this battle is over, there is not a single living mouth left, then their battle in Yanzhou will be made up by the Bronze Horse Army, and the Copper Horse Army can even slander them for surrendering first and then being killed.
Choshi himself is unwilling to bear such an infamy, and he is even more unwilling to be burdened with such infamy by the brothers below. They are not afraid of death, but they must also die worthwhile, and they cannot be infamous and spurned by people after death.
All the soldiers present looked at the brothers who were good at the water and said, "You just listen to the general's words and swim back to the other side, as long as you can survive, we will not be buried in today's battle to the death!" β
"Generalβ" Several soldiers fell to their knees in unison, crying silently. Choshi hooked the corners of his mouth, a smile appeared on his face, he waved his hand to a few people, and said, "Go quickly, the thief army is attacking again!" β
As he spoke, he looked back and saw that three battalions of the Bronze Horse Army were approaching step by step. Choshi's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said quietly: "The boy should die in the border field, and bury his ears with a horse leather shroud!" β
Choshi's self-sentence is a quote from Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan was a famous man, originally Wang Mang's courtier, but later Wang Mang was killed, and he fled to Xiliang.
The idiom 'horse leather shroud' is from the phrase of horse aid.
Choshi ordered several subordinates with good water skills to swim across the Yellow River, return to Hebei, and report his battle in Yanzhou to Liu Xiu. He himself led the rest of the Han army and fought the Bronze Horse Army again.
The Han army, which was less than 2,000, was surrounded by 30,000 bronze horse regiments, and this battle really became a battle to the death.
Choshi killed three war horses just under his crotch, and there were countless wounds all over his body, large and small, but even so, he still rode a war horse and rushed left and right in the chaos of the army.
The cold arrows that flew around him from time to time nailed Choshi's shoulders and thighs, and also nailed to the war horse under his crotch, the war horse was overwhelmed and fell to the ground with a bang, and Choshi fell off the back of the war horse again.
The nearby Bronze Horse soldiers swarmed up, but they were already about the same as a bloody man, and they unbelievably stood up from the ground again, brandished the Shore Iron Point Steel Spear, and swept all the enemy troops besieging it to the ground with the edge of their spears.
Seeing that the whole face was stained red with blood, and only the eyeballs were still white Choshi, the Bronze Horse Army, which had never been afraid, did not dare to rush forward at this time, and people stood around the Choshi period, and involuntarily retreated again and again.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" Shoot him with arrows! β
With the shouting, the sound of crossbow machine ejection in the crowd was everywhere, and several crossbow arrows flew towards Choshi. Choshi roared, rolled to the side, dodged a few crossbow arrows, and stood up as he stabbed out.
The spear pierced the chest of one of the soldiers, and then stabbed in the chest of a soldier with a crossbow in the back.
One shot, two lives! Choshi stopped drinking and continued to stab the gun in his hand. The edge of the iron spear pierced through the second person and stabbed into the third person. A bronze horse soldier roared, and rushed up with a spear in his hand, stabbing Choshi in the chest, who twisted his body and slashed the sand against the armor at his side. He retracted his arm and clamped the spear under his armpit, leaning slightly
With a twist, click, the spear snapped, and Choshi grabbed the half of the spear caught under his armpit, and stabbed it back, poof, the spear stabbed the soldier in the face, stabbing him directly to the ground.
Choshi stepped back, and with him, pulled the spear out of the bodies of the three corpses, and he gasped for breath, his bloodshot eyes scanning the surroundings.
The surrounding bronze horse army held swords and spears, and gestured at Choshigan, but no one stepped forward.
Choshi knows that he is now at the end of his strong crossbow, and he can't hold on for long, and before he falls, he can kill one more person!
Thinking of this, he waved his arm outward, and half of the spear flew out, hitting one of the soldiers in the chest, and then he held the gun in both hands and once again smashed into the crowd of the Bronze Horse Army.
At this time, he didn't think about asking for life at all, and he was completely bent on death.
He killed in the crowd of the Bronze Horse Army, put it under the attack of the other party, as long as it was not for his own vital point, he simply did not hide, in order to save his physical strength.
His desperate dismissal really shocked the surrounding Bronze Horse Army soldiers, if you stand in the air and look down at this time, you will find this strange scene on the battlefield.
Choshi was obviously in the middle of the Bronze Horse Army, full of enemies on all sides, but the circle around him was completely empty, as if Choshi had a deadly virus on his body, and wherever he went, the crowd around him immediately retreated.
The choice of the soldiers of the Bronze Horse Army is very wise, at this time, no matter who rushes up, it is because they think that their lives are long, and people avoid the Choshi period, which makes the idea of pulling a few more thieves to do the back of the Choshi period in vain. He was in the crowd of the Bronze Horse Army, one would rush to the left, the other would rush to the right, but the Bronze Horse Army just dodged, retreated, and refused to engage him
The blood on his face washed out white marks one after another.
Just as Choshi was roaring angrily, there was a sudden chaos in the rear of the Bronze Horse Army. At the same time, there was a rumbling thunder from the sky.
"Yes...... Is it cavalry? The experienced officers and men of the Bronze Horse Army immediately judged that the roar coming was not thunder, but like the galloping sound of a large group of cavalry.
The judgment of the Bronze Horse Army was correct, there was indeed a large group of cavalry rushing here, and the leader was not someone else, it was Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu originally planned to go to Hanoi to chase and kill the remnants of the Bronze Horse Army, but he led the army only halfway through, and just arrived in Wei County, he suddenly received information from Yunxi Pavilion, saying that the Bronze Horse Army that fled to Hanoi had limited troops, only tens of thousands of people, and most of them were Bronze Horse dependents
, and the leaders of the bronze horses such as the barren Dongshan and the Shanghuai situation are not among them.
Since there was no Dongshan barren and Shanghuai in the remnants of the copper horse that fled to Hanoi, then the two of them must have fled to Yanzhou. Since the barren Dongshan and Shanghuai are in Yanzhou, the main force of the Bronze Horse Army must also be there.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu was shocked into a cold sweat, you must know that Yanzhou, which only led 20,000 troops during the Choshi period, once it encountered the main force of the Bronze Horse Army, only these soldiers and horses were not enough for the Copper Horse Army to stuff their teeth.
Liu Xiu also underestimated the strength of the Cho period, the strength of the Cho period was very small, and the size was also very small, but they were not a piece of fat, but a small pebble, and they almost failed to break the two back molars of the Bronze Horse Army.
Judging that the main force of the Bronze Horse Army was in Yanzhou, Liu Xiu immediately changed the route of the march, he led his cavalry, took the first step, galloped east from Wei County, and went straight to Yanzhou.
Just when the Han army was already in the same state and wanted to fight to the death with the enemy, Liu Xiu led more than 10,000 Youzhou cavalry and finally arrived at the battlefield.
The Bronze Horse Army, which had been fighting fiercely with Choshi for a whole day, had long been physically and mentally exhausted, and this battle had been fought so far, and for them, all that was left was to sweep the tail.
But the Bronze Horse Army never expected that the Youzhou Raider led by Liu Xiu suddenly appeared in front of him as if he had fallen from the sky. Under the iron hooves of more than 10,000 Youzhou cavalry, the defenseless and exhausted Bronze Horse Army did not make a decent resistance, more precisely, the Bronze Horse Army did not have time to resist at all, and the lineup of the whole army was rushed by the sudden cavalry
Scatter.
Dongshan barren and Shanghuai still want to lead their subordinates to compete with the Youzhou Raid, at this time, I heard the Youzhou Raid, and the people's shouts were everywhere: "King Xiao is here, and you will be captured before you are tied!" β
Hearing this, Dongshan Barren and Shanghuai and others were also shocked into a cold sweat, Liu Xiu actually came! Liu Xiu actually led the army into Yanzhou in person! Isn't he afraid that the Red Eyebrow Army will besiege him?
The generals of the Bronze Horse Army completely lost the fighting spirit to resist, and the Bronze Horse Army, led by the barren Dongshan and Shanghuai conditions, was routed all the way to the west. The Han army did not give up, and the cavalry chased and killed the buttocks of the bronze horse army.
Especially Wu Han and Geng Yi, both of whom are good at commanding cavalry, at this time the two of them took the lead, each leading 3,000 elite cavalry, and pursued the bronze horse army that was defeated for thousands of miles.
Liu Xiu did not continue the pursuit, but rode his horse on the battlefield, looking for Choshi's figure. The battlefield on the south bank of the Yellow River is now full of corpses, stacked on top of each other, and rivers of blood are flowing.
The corpses of the soldiers of the Han army were spread on the ground, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Bronze Horse Army were even more, and they were spread several layers on the ground, and in some places the corpses of the soldiers on both sides were raised high.
Through these shocking scenes, we can also see the tragedy of today's war.
The more Liu Xiu looked at it, the more panicked he became, running and running, he couldn't help but start pulling his neck and shouting: "Second situation? Cho period? Choshi's condition? β
For his subordinates, Liu Xiu can indeed be called affectionate and righteous. Now that the Imperial Court and the Red Eyebrow Army have been killed, to the point where either you die or I die, and Liu Xiu, as the King of Xiao of the First Imperial Court and Liu Xuan's clansman, entered the territory of the Red Eyebrow Army, which can be said to be a great wind in itself
danger, you may fall into the situation of being besieged by the Red Eyebrow Army at any time.
But in order to relieve the Cho period, Liu Xiu not only came, but in a hurry, he only took more than 10,000 cavalry to enter Yanzhou first. In order to be worthy of Liu Xiu's kindness, Choshi was able to lay down on the battlefield and fight to the death with an enemy army ten times his own, and in order to save Cho Period, Liu Xiu was able to risk his life and not hesitate to go deep into the enemy territory, both the monarch and the minister did it
This kind of situation is rare throughout the ages.
Just when Liu Xiu shouted the name of Choshi, a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him, but he couldn't tell whether the other party was a Han army or a bronze horse army, and almost all of them became bloody people.
Long Yuan and the others immediately urged their horses to step forward and protect Liu Xiu, while Liu Xiu rushed out of the crowd on horseback and went straight to the group of soldiers. "King! It's really a king! "This group of soldiers is the subordinates of Choshi. Seeing Liu Xiu coming on horseback, everyone screamed continuously, and then couldn't help crying with joy.
