13, the Son of Heaven sighed at first sight (II)
Finally defeated!
Liu Xie stood on the wheel, blinked his sore eyes, and turned his numb neck slightly, not wanting the people around him to discover his embarrassment.
Liu Xie, who was anxious in his heart, thought that the battle under the hill had been fought for too long.
As soon as he came into contact, Liu Xie saw the tide of troops that suddenly emerged from the northeast corner, and directly swept the tide of Li Dao's army to pieces, and a large piece of Li Dao's army formation was shaky, as if it was about to collapse.
This scene made Liu Xie excited, cheering and encouraging, thinking that Li Xie was about to lose.
But the facts made Liu Xie almost choked, and the Li Dao army formation, which seemed to be about to collapse, was shaking, but for some reason it stabilized again, and the tide of troops that rushed into Li Dao's army was quickly contained, and was even pushed back a little.
After that, Li Dao's soldiers and horses who came from other places on the battlefield began to involve the tide of troops in the north corner, although the cavalry rushed out from time to time to disperse and repel the Li Dao stragglers on both sides and detours, so that Li Dao's soldiers and horses could not threaten the main formation, but the formation on both sides was still pulled and slightly deformed.
Li Dao's army formation was keenly aware of this flaw in the enemy's formation, and began to concentrate its forces and assault the flank of this wave of reinforcements.
And when the tide of troops was pinned down on both flanks, it seemed that they did not intend to shrink their forces, but instead concentrated their troops and horses to break through the front, and the tide gave birth to a larger sharp arrow, which hit Li Dao's army formation fiercely.
The battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while, Li Wei's soldiers and horses continued to pull and bite the flanks of the reinforcements, and the tide of troops that appeared from the northeast corner continued to advance firmly and slowly without changing the direction.
During this period, it was repeated several times, sometimes it seemed that Li Dao's army had the upper hand, and sometimes it seemed that the tide of troops had advanced a little more.
Fortunately, Liu Xie learned the lesson of his rash judgment just now, and after his hot face returned to normal, his heart began to tend to be calm.
He tried his best to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and no longer spoke easily, but he still couldn't erase the impatience between his eyebrows.
In the end, it was only under the reminder of the attendants beside him that Liu Xie, who had confused eyes and a sore neck from afar, noticed the sudden changes on the battlefield.
The flanks of the reinforcements have been torn apart by Li Dao's soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses gathered by Li Dao's own formation and all parties are attacking the center of the tide in a steady stream.
At this critical moment, there was also a change in the tide of soldiers. The huge arrow that had originally rushed into the enemy line actually split a gap, and then out of this opening, a new arrow emerged.
In this way, the sharp arrows that originally broke through into the enemy line became tridents!
And the protruding fork in the middle is even sharper and unstoppable, and the Li Wei army array, which was originally able to resist, was rushed by it, and the waves cracked in an instant, and the men and horses of this formation were defeated one after another, and soon even the Da Xu, who represented the commander, fell down, and the soldiers and horses on both wings also followed the collapse of the formation and fled in defeat, and quickly evacuated from the battlefield.
Finally defeated!
Liu Xie said a fluke in his heart, this fierce field encounter was actually less than half an hour, but it still made the anxious and waiting young son of heaven sweat and tremble, and now the victory and defeat on the battlefield have finally been divided, and the hanging heart of the young son of heaven can be regarded as a little relaxed.
Li Dao's soldiers and horses, who were originally surrounded under the mound, saw that the situation was not good at this time, and they had already fled with the defeated men and horses, and took the opportunity to lead the army down the hill, and soon cleared and dispersed the remnants of Li Dao's troops around the mound, and began to send people to contact the soldiers and horses who saved the overall situation.
"Your Majesty, it's the coalition of Hedong and Hongnong that is coming!"
The people who contacted him quickly passed back the identity of the coalition army, and Fu Wan, who vaguely recognized the banner from the mound, still looked solemn after listening, he rode back to the mound, turned over and dismounted, and reported to the young emperor.
Liu Xie, who was free from the threat of death, had also calmed down from the initial excitement, and looking at Fu Wan's solemn expression, Liu Xie also knew that although he was saved, he could not be said to be completely out of danger.
The Hedong and Hongnong coalition forces that can defeat Li Dao's army head-on, how can it be a good stubble, and now the troops under the command of Fu Wan, Yang Ding and others are greatly damaged, and most of the court officials and palace people are scattered, and even their own queens do not know their whereabouts, and the people on the mound are like fish and meat on other people's swords.
The turbulent situation made Liu Xie, who was at the center of the whirlpool of power, have to mature and grow old, and after settling down a little, he had to rack his brains again and began to think about the situation after the sudden change in front of him.
Hedong Hongnong Coalition Army, is it here to escort or hijack?
If it is an escort, then it will be met later, what should the leading generals of Hedong and Hongnong be rewarded?
If they were hijacked, how should they be stabilized first, and then how should they find an opportunity to gather their separated ministers and secretly discuss a plan to get out?
Just when the young emperor was still thinking, the coalition army horses that had defeated Li Dao's main formation had already divided into a horse and came down the mound.
At this time, Liu Xiehe and the generals of Fu Wan also saw clearly these coalition soldiers who defeated Li Wei's soldiers and horses.
Among the horsemen who galloped under the mound, the most conspicuous was the nearly 100 iron horsemen who were the ancestors and horses in armor.
They are different from the existing cavalry armor and horse armor, the horse knight not only wears an iron helmet on his head, a face, and the iron armor on his body is decorated with long willow leaf armor, and the horse armor is even more sophisticated, not only has the current face curtain, chicken neck, and chest, but also has three more parts of the horse body armor, the back, and the parasitic, from a distance, the knight on the iron horse is like a half-section of the iron tower moving rapidly.
Among them, the dozen or so iron horsemen were full of arrows, covered in blood, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and in silence, only the dull sound of horses' hooves was heard, but it gave everyone on the mound an invisible shock, everyone seemed to have countless war drums beating in their hearts, their throats were a little dry, and there was also an illusion in their eyes, as if the movement under the mound was not a group of iron horses, but a wall, a mountain.
"Aiqing, where is this iron horse?"
Liu Xie's voice trembled a little, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty has always been the leader in Liang, He, and Yousanzhou, among which the young son of heaven has seen the cavalry of the Liangzhou Army the most, and he has also seen the Xiliang iron cavalry under Li Dao wearing two crotch armor and horse armor, but compared to today, I am afraid that it is far inferior to the iron cavalry that appeared in front of him.
Never thought that there were such sharp people in the Knights of the Three Rivers and the Hongnong Army?
Facing the surprised inquiry of the Son of Heaven, Fu Wan smiled bitterly and couldn't answer, but he was also surprised in his heart that these iron horses were well-equipped, and he even remembered the situation when the Hedong Hongnong Coalition Army and Li Dao's main formation fought fiercely before, the small arrow that stood out from the big blade, cleaving the waves all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo.
Fortunately, the number of these iron cavalry is not large, and it seems that these mounted cavalry, which are less than 100 cavalry, are all the heavy cavalry of the coalition army.
After Fu was surprised, he was also a little lucky.
After all, the branch is greater than the root, the shin is greater than the stock, and it must be draped if it is not broken. If the strength of the Hedong Hongnong coalition army is too strong, Tianzi is afraid that he will fall into the hands of powerful ministers like Dong Zhuo and Li Dao again.
As soon as the horsemen approached the mound, they slowed down their horses, and finally stopped at the bottom of the mound, and when the knight's hand was stuck in the ground, there was a sharp forest on the ground in an instant.
Soon after these iron horsemen, a military general in a robe and great armor rode out, and he let out a snoring and panting, shaking his gray beard, looking up at the men and horses on the mound, and shouted loudly:
"Chen Hongnong Taishou, Pingdong General Duan Xuan, together with Hedong Taishou and Pingbei General Yan Xing, sent troops to cross the border and came to protect the Son of Heaven, and now they have broken Li Wei's chaotic army, I don't know where the Son of Heaven is?"
Hearing that it was the reinforcements and horses who came to escort him, Liu Xie's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, he raised his chin, and was hesitating to speak, but Fu Wan beside him had already secretly glanced at him, asked him to be quiet, and he also tore his dry throat, and responded loudly in a calm tone as much as possible:
"The Son of Heaven is here! Duan and Yan Er's generals broke the thief and escorted it, which is really a great achievement, since they came to protect the Son of Heaven, why not get off the horse and go up to the hill to meet the Son of Heaven. ”
Duan Xuan under the mound frowned when he heard Fu Wan's reply, and when he saw the rather wary people on the mound, he hesitated slightly, and then abandoned the idea of dismounting to meet the Son of Heaven.
Joke! Rushing to help, not avoiding arrows and stones, breaking Li Dao here, working hard, and being pointed at by these court officials with shelves, it is really unreasonable.
Moreover, Duan Xuan was also very jealous of Yang Ding and Zhang Xiu among the generals, and deliberately kept an eye on it, but at this time, he was absolutely unwilling to get off the horse to meet the Son of Heaven.
He also understood why Yan Xing had to hand over the armored cavalry in his hand to him after he broke the enemy, but he took his soldiers and horses to pursue Li Wei's rout.
This time to defeat Li Wei's army, Hedong's elite soldiers and strong generals made great efforts, and if Hongnong's soldiers also wanted a piece of the pie, they had to make another contribution after the war and act as a villain who Hedong didn't want to be.
"Who are you?"
Duan Xuan raised his horsewhip, his face changed, and the halberd pointed to the mound and shouted.
Seeing Duan Xuan's somewhat domineering and rude behavior, the young man who originally had a glimmer of hope couldn't help frowning, but after Fu Wan's domineering behavior towards these lieutenant generals and colonels with heavy troops, he was mostly surprised, although the other party was arrogant, he didn't care, but simply responded:
"Below, the execution of Jinwu is finished!"
"It turned out to be Fu Jun, and Fu Jun was also the one who led the troops, how could he not know the truth of "the people who are in charge do not worship", and now is the time to hand over the troops, how can they ignore the safety of the Son of Heaven, in order to salute, the Son of Heaven will be in danger, quickly, all the soldiers, escort the Son of Heaven out of here first! ”
Duan Xuan gave an order, and the armored cavalry behind him shouted in unison, "Please move the Son of Heaven!" The sound shook the four fields, and frightened everyone on the hill to change color.
And those Hongnong foot soldiers rushed up along the hillside, and they couldn't help but say, half guards, half coercion, so half led and half rushed, and the chariot of the Son of Heaven on the mound, as well as the accompanying officials and sergeants, all rushed downhill.
After seeing these sergeants behaving rudely and with fierce faces, he didn't dare to talk about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers with them, but wanted to go forward to negotiate theories with Duan Xuan, who was the leader, but Duan Xuan just blindly emphasized that "this place is surrounded by chaotic soldiers, and the danger cannot be left for a long time", and then he successively urged the sergeants to escort the Son of Heaven away.
After the ambush, there were many people on the other side, and he didn't dare to really do it, for fear of hurting the Son of Heaven, so he could only do it in a hurry, and he also drove away from the mound. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
