"Retreat, speed up, get rid of the Hun cavalry. ***”

Zhang Liao shouted while retreating with a large army, wanting to avoid the pursuit of the Hun cavalry. When Tai Shi Ci retreated with his soldiers, he also let the broken soldiers use their spears to resist the Hun cavalry, wanting to buy more time for the retreat of the army. Rao is like this, Hu Chuquan still led his troops to break through the defense line of the Shu army and fight into the crowd.

At this moment, the Hun cavalry was like a vicious wolf, constantly gnawing at the lives of the Shu soldiers.

The Shu army fled, the Huns pursued, shouting and screaming one after another.

In an instant, it was muffled by the sound of rumbling horses' hooves.

Hu Chuquan looked at the screaming Shu army, his face flashed with fanatical excitement, and he ordered the soldiers to attack, wanting to solve the Shu army in a fight. Hu Chuquan thought that the Shu army would seize the opportunity if he made a wrong move, so Hu Chuquan had to continue to expand the results of the battle, strive to defeat the main force of the Shu army, and then wipe out all the Shu troops in Beidi County.

This is an opportunity from heaven that cannot be missed and cannot be lost.

"Kill, kill the Shu army, kill the Shu army."

Hu Chuquan carried a steel knife into the Shu soldiers, and kept swinging the knife and slashing. The sharp blade broke through the flesh and brought out a series of blood beads, and the blood splattered on Hu Chuquan's face, which set off Hu Chuquan's rough cheeks fiercely and cruelly.

The Hun cavalry charged excitedly, and became more and more happy.

Tai Shici and Zhang Liao looked at each other, and pathos appeared in their eyes.

In order to take Huchuquan, countless soldiers were killed and wounded in this battle. The two ran for a mile with the soldiers, and the broken soldiers were still resisting, while the cavalry was running ahead, but they also suffered countless casualties, which can be said to be one out of ten.

At this time, a Shu army appeared in front of the road.

The people who led the army were Li Ru and Pang Tong, who led the 20,000 Shu troops to block the official road.

When Zhang Liao saw it, he raised the nine-foot long knife in his hand and shouted, "Run towards the hillside on the right and follow me." "There is a fork in the road on the left and right sides of this terrain, a mountain path, and the army can rush into the mountains or into the mountains and forests, so as to avoid the pursuit of the cavalry, but it is difficult for the cavalry to rush in.

Tai Shi Ci also shouted: "Follow me and run towards the hillside on the left." ”

In an instant, the fleeing Shu army immediately divided into two groups, one left and one right, and ran towards the hillside. The 7,000 cavalry formed by Zhang Liao and Tai Shici suffered countless casualties when they attacked the Huns, and there were not many left, only a few hundred remained. When they encountered the hillside, they decisively turned over and dismounted, and then rushed into the mountain forest, following the rest of the soldiers to the hillside.

Although the Hun cavalry was fierce, but without the power of the war horse, the Hun cavalry could no longer play a huge advantage. The war horses could not run to the mountain trails, and could only watch the Shu army flee one by one.

Hu Chuquan secretly hated in his heart, but found a bad situation.

There is still a dense Shu army in front of the official road, and there are also crossbow cars, which is a big killer.

Neither cavalry nor infantry, nor heavily armed cavalry, could stop crossbow arrows. At the beginning, Gan Ning and Tai Shici led the army north, and Ma Jun gave all the ballistas made to Gan Ning, but the ballista, as a big killer in the army and the largest defensive force, has been left in the camp and not used. Now in order to shoot the Hun cavalry, it came in handy.

Fang Ming knew about the ballista, and when he saw the ballista, he was so frightened that his soul flew away.

He shouted: "Da Danyu, we have been tricked again, there is a ballista in front, withdraw, retreat!" ”

Hu Chuquan didn't believe in evil, and shouted: "Rush over for me, as long as you rush to the ballista, we can continue to kill the Shu army, rush!" Hu Chuquan was ruthless in his heart, thinking about defeating the Shu army, and directly ordered to charge.

At this time, the Xiongnu were still more than a hundred zhang away from Li Ru's ballista array, which was still within the design range of the ballista.

He led the troops to charge, and Li Ru also unceremoniously raised the order flag in his hand and shouted: "Release!" ”

In an instant, the ballista cart, which had already been installed with crossbow arrows, creaked and creaked, firing the first round of crossbow arrows.

There are hundreds of ballistae on the official road, and each ballista can shoot five crossbow arrows at a time, and a hundred ballista cars are five hundred crossbow arrows, which has great lethality. All the bolts shot out, fast and powerful, piercing the air with a piercing pop. As far as the eye could see, a jet-black light flashed in the air, instantly shooting in front of the Hun cavalry.

"Poof!"

The crossbow arrow shot into the body of the Hun cavalry, and under the impact of huge force, it directly penetrated the body of the Hun cavalry. The crossbow bolt continued to shoot forward, piercing the bodies of four Hun cavalrymen in a row, before inserting them into one of the Hun cavalrymen, bringing up the body of the Hun cavalry and falling to the ground with a bang.

Dense crossbow arrows were fired, and five hundred crossbow arrows took the lives of more than a thousand Hun cavalry at one time.

Such a result made Hu Chuquan feel afraid.

What a terrifying lethality! Such a strong power, close to the power of ghosts and gods.

He yelled, "Kill it, kill it!" ”

The second round of crossbow arrows came again, and in an instant took the lives of thousands of Hun cavalrymen.

The continuous crossbow arrows fired intensively, making Hu Chuquan's eyes split, and his teeth itched with hatred. The further he rushed, the more dead and wounded the soldiers became. Fang Ming sighed in his heart, glanced at the soldiers of the Shu army hiding on the left and right sides of the hillside, and secretly said that the Shu army was so courageous. In order to ambush the Hun cavalry, he did not hesitate to lose the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in exchange for victory.

With a turn of his eyes, Fang Ming looked forward and found that there were potholes on the ground, as well as big pits.

These big pits were all to prevent the cavalry from charging, and seeing this, Fang Ming's body trembled.

If you can't rush through, won't you let the crossbow arrows shoot?

Fang Ming hurriedly ran to Hu Chuquan's side and said loudly: "Da Danyu, the road ahead is full of tunnels, and the war horse will fall to the ground when it rushes up, becoming a target for crossbow arrows. We can't rush over, let's retreat quickly, avoid the crossbow carts of the Shu army first, and don't engage the Shu army for the time being. ”

Hu Chuquan also looked up and found the situation on the road ahead.

Suffered!

Hu Chuquan secretly screamed in his heart, and then shouted: "The Shu army is cunning, we retreat, retreat immediately!" ”

He hadn't noticed the ground before, but he had run forty feet away to realize that thousands of cavalrymen had been killed or wounded. Now that the army is retreating, it is going to be shot again. Hu Chuquan secretly said in his heart that the Shu army was too poisonous, but he had to retreat. The others were in the middle of the cavalry, surrounded by soldiers and retreated.

All the horses are charging, full of inertia, it is not easy to stop the horses, and then turn the horse's head, it takes a certain amount of time.

This pause gave the crossbow bolts a chance to shoot.

"Poof! Poof! ”

One after another crossbow arrows were fired, like soul seducers, ruthlessly taking away the lives of the Hun cavalry.

Hu Chuquan led the soldiers to escape the fire of the ballista, and countless soldiers and horses had been killed and wounded on the road. Blood flowed and stained the ground, and a face with a pained look came into view. Hu Chuquan felt a pain in his heart, like a sledgehammer hitting his heart.

He looked around, made a rough estimate, and his mood was even heavier. In this charge and retreat, nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed by crossbow arrows, and nearly one-third of the soldiers under his command were lost.

Such casualties are really too great.

Hu Chuquan turned around and shouted: "Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Ben Danyu will definitely take revenge, you wait." ”

Zhang Liao and Tai Shici paid attention to Hu Chuquan's situation, and when they saw Hu Chuquan's face showing indignation, the corners of their mouths gradually hooked up a bright smile. They set up an ambush and lost so many soldiers, how could they let Hu Chuquan escape so easily?
