With the sound of the high and majestic war drums, Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi each commanded their troops and quickly entered Sun Jian's rear army.

When the war drums of Koji Yoshi's alarm had just sounded, the rebels had already approached the position of the rear army. Sun Jian's rear army were all soldiers of the Northern Army, although they were well-trained and well-armed, but the rebels came too quickly and quietly, and before the soldiers could come to their senses, the rebels had already rushed into the camp and started a bloody massacre.

The soldiers of the Northern Army were fiercely attacked by the enemy, and for a time they could not resist and retreated again and again. Sun Jian saw that it was difficult to stabilize his position, so he immediately took the soldiers who guarded the tun to go up. He knew he couldn't go back. At this time, the front army had not yet opened the gap to break through, and the Chinese army was still waiting for an attack. As soon as the rear army retreats, it will directly impact the positions of the Chinese army. Once the Chinese army's position is disrupted, it will cause chaos in the whole army. When chaos is combined, the command of the army will fail, which will inevitably lead to the rout of the entire army. At that time, the troops had no chance to break through even if they wanted to.

Sun Jian roared angrily, and the war knife in his hand opened and closed left and right, slashing several people in a row. His guards followed him closely, and they all gathered together like a bundle of arrows shot at the same time, invincible.

"Kill ......, kill enemy ......, block ......"

"Brothers, kill ...... back, kill back ......"

While Sun Jian was fighting hard, he kept roaring loudly, and the soldiers who guarded the tun echoed loudly, and the sound shook the four fields. Some of the scattered soldiers were inspired by Sun Jian's bravery, and they turned around one after another, followed behind Sun Jian and his relatives, and bravely rushed forward. The soldiers on both sides fought fiercely, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

The rebels were blocked, and the momentum of the rush was halted, and the speed suddenly slowed down.

The soldiers of the Northern Army, who had fled to the rear, quickly gathered in formation under the loud shouts of several subordinate army Simas. Seizing the opportunity of the enemy's slowing down of the speed of the kill, they immediately laid several defensive positions behind the blocking troops in front and launched a stubborn resistance.

Dense rebel soldiers poured out of the night like ghosts, and Sun Jian and his subordinates were surrounded by heavy surrounds as soon as they resisted for a while. They were so strained by the enemy that they couldn't even breathe, and they suffered heavy casualties.

Sun Jian flicked away two long arrows from the darkness with a knife, turned around and shouted: "Retreat ......, retreat ......, kill back ......, everyone kill back ......"

The soldiers shouted and immediately turned around and went back. Sun Jian followed behind the troops, killing left and right, covering everyone's rapid retreat. The rebels fought to intercept and kill.

One soldier after another was knocked down by cold arrows, poked to death by spears, and cut to a bloody blur by bloody swords. Sun Jian was covered in blood, his sword was whistling, and his voice was almost hoarse, but it was still difficult to resist the enemy who rushed up like a tide.

Jun Sima Hu Qi saw that the first array had taken a slight shape, and immediately waved his knife and roared: "Brothers, kill ......, kill me ......"

Hundreds of soldiers shouted loudly, and everyone was not afraid, and their morale was like a rainbow, and they rushed forward to meet the enemy.

Sun Jian felt the pressure behind him suddenly decrease, and then he heard a roar rising into the sky.

On the battlefield south of the Orange Garden, Koji rode his horse between the cavalry and infantry formations, shouting incessantly and giving orders loudly.

The candidate stood outside the woods, held high the battle flag, and shouted: "Brothers, kill ......"

"Kill ......"

Suddenly there was a thunderous roar in the woods, and the rebel soldiers rushed out of the woods like a flood.

Koji's war horse was frightened, and suddenly stood up, raising its hooves and neighing.

Koji Yi pulled the reins of the horse tightly, raised the gun in his right hand, and shouted: "Let ...... go"

With a "......" sound, the long arrow entered the air, making a piercing "...... sound".

"Shoot ......, shoot ...... at will"

Before Koji could finish speaking, the first long arrows had already been fired into the rebels' charging ranks. With a terrible scream, the rebel soldiers immediately fell in large numbers.

The candidate for "killing ......" holds a knife in one hand and a flag in the other, running at the front like a madman, ignoring the rain of arrows in the sky.

"Brothers, rush, ......"

Cheng Yin held a shield in one hand and a war knife in the other, roaring hard.

The rebel soldiers were excited, roaring like thunder, braving a dense rain of arrows, swarming up.

"Drum ......" Koji yelled, "kill...... Kill ...... with all your might"

......With a loud bang, the two armies collided, and a fierce battle began.

The border army of Koji is brave and strong, and each array is composed of spearmen, axes, shields, and archers, and everyone cooperates with each other and fights together, and its lethality and defense are very strong. The soldiers were stacked on top of each other, forming dense formations, and several arrays were combined like an impermeable fence.

The rebels are like a surging tide of rage, each with a bigger and fiercer wave, and the attack is very fierce. The infantry of Koji was impenetrable, and they fought thicker and thicker, and finally it was like a resilient copper wall, and the rebels could not shake it at all, but were shot at will by the archers behind this fence, and suffered heavy casualties.

The rebels could not be attacked for a long time, and the pace of their advance was very slow.

Candidate, Cheng Yin was anxious, and immediately threw all his troops on the battlefield. The battle was unprecedentedly fierce, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

"Lord Lieutenant, the cavalry can attack from both flanks."

Koji Yi glanced at the tube. The tube is called Gao Geng, tall and strong, with a round fat face, he is the military Sima of the border army, responsible for commanding the two thousand cavalry of the border army.

"Lord Lieutenant, the infantry casualties are too great, and I ask for an attack." The canister shouted loudly again.

Koji didn't dare to kill it. After the cavalry was killed, the distance between the troops and the Chinese army was widened, and there must be a gap between the two armies. If the enemy successfully intersperses and cuts off his own contact with the Chinese army, his troops may be surrounded and annihilated by the rebels.

"Your cavalry unit retreats a little further and moves closer to the Chinese army, be sure to get closer." Koji Yi shouted loudly, pointing in the direction of the Chinese army.

"Your Excellency......" the tube shouted with his eyes wide open.

"Retreat ......" Koji Yi looked resolute, his face was majestic, and there was no room for negotiation.

The well-trained soldiers of the Northern Army and the Frontier Corps resolutely obeyed orders in the midst of extreme confusion, calmly responded to the battle under the command of the drums of war, fought stubbornly, and temporarily blocked the charging of the enemy from the south and west. But Huaxiong, north of the Orange Garden, was not so lucky.

Before Huaxiong's troops could set up their positions, Li Kan and Zhang Heng led their troops to kill them overwhelmingly.

Huaxiong's troops were all county soldiers, with small numbers and weak combat effectiveness. When the soldiers saw the enemy all over the mountains, they were terrified, and they cried wolves and ran around with their heads in their hands. They didn't put up any resistance at all, and ran faster than rabbits one by one. Hua Xiong couldn't stop the soldiers from fleeing, so he had to hold a war knife in his hand, take 500 cavalry to break the rear, and retreat in battle.

The officers and troops on the battlefield in the north were defeated.

The night sky of the Orangery Garden was pitch black and deep, and the chaotic full moon in the sky seemed to be frightened by the bloodshed on the battlefield of the Orangery, and hurriedly hid in the thick clouds. The scattered stars looked at the soldiers on both sides on the battlefield in horror, panicked and blinked nervously.

The sound of war drums, shouts of killing, screams, the sound of gold and iron, and the neighing of war horses were intertwined on the battlefield, forming a huge wave of sound that soared into the sky.

"General, the national soldiers of Jincheng County on the left flank have broken and fled, and they are rushing towards the position of the Chinese army. Shall we get out of the way and put them in the middle of the line? ”

Zhou Shen looked at the subordinates who came to report, shook his head, and said coldly: "Don't mess with yourself. Order the Chinese army to stop and kill the deserters, and not a single one is allowed to enter. ”

Hua Xiong saw that the soldiers of the Northern Army were shooting his own soldiers in front of the formation, and he did not allow the deserters to approach the formation of the Chinese army at all, so he was so angry that he cursed.

"...... to the east, ...... to the east"

Hua Xiong rode his horse and galloped wildly among the deserters, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, run east, run east vigorously, don't attack the Chinese army, you are killing yourself." ”

The soldiers of Jincheng immediately turned around and fled eastward along the Chinese position, frantically, and fled to the front position.

＝＝＝

On the battlefield to the east of the Orangery, the battle was particularly tragic.

Liang Xing and Ma Play led the cavalry army into the front army like a whirlwind. They galloped, rampaged, and unscrupulous. Xu Rong's soldiers were wantonly slashed and trampled under the iron hooves of the enemy, and they were powerless to fight back.

The rebels came too fast. Although the war drums of the alarm were sounded in advance, the enemy cavalry still came in like lightning, and his troops did not have time to react before they were fatally attacked by the rebels. The infantry were like fallen leaves in the woods, swept away by the enemy howling like a hurricane.

Xu Rong ordered the cavalry troops to assemble quickly. Now if you want to stabilize your position and cover your infantry to escape to safety, you can only use the 2,000 cavalry in your hand to block the enemy. Although the difference in strength between 2,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 cavalry against the enemy was obvious, Xu Rong and the soldiers were fearless and full of fighting spirit.

The cavalry warriors slept next to their horses, and after the war drums sounded to the alarm, they quickly jumped on their horses, ready to go into battle at any time.

The war drums of "Knock Knock ......" sounded softly, and the troops were arrayed.

Xu Rong raised his spear and shouted: "Kill...... Ah......h

"Kill ......"

The two thousand cavalry roared like thunder, and the momentum was magnificent, and they fought into the enemy formation without hesitation. A bloody battle ensued.

The fleeing infantry, with the help of cavalry, finally had a little respite. Under the command of the war drums, they quickly assembled in formation. The soldiers gathered several phalanxes in the shortest time and at the fastest speed, barely blocking the front of the Chinese army and taking up their positions.

Xu Rong's subordinates immediately ordered the drums of war to be beaten, and told Xu Rong to withdraw with the cavalry as soon as possible. If the fight continues, even the cavalry will be finished.

Zhou Shen saw that Xu Rong's troops had suffered heavy casualties and had no ability to launch a counterattack.

"Order Koji Yoshi, who is on the right flank, to shrink his defense and quickly move closer to the Chinese army." Zhou Shen pointed to the battlefield on the right side of the Orange Garden, and ordered loudly, "Tell Koyi to rush to the front army position immediately with the cavalry." ”

"Chinese cavalry, follow me."

The northern army was 20,000 people, 3,000 of whom were cavalry. Zhou Shen decided to concentrate all the cavalry in his troops and fight back against the rebels at all costs, trying to repel the enemy before dawn and open a breakthrough for the troops. The soldiers had been walking long distances for days, tired and hungry, and if the battle had lasted too long, it would have been difficult to hold on. Once the soldiers can't hold on, the army will collapse and will be completely annihilated by the enemy.

The drums of war were earth-shattering.

Zhou Shen took the lead and quickly moved to the front army position with three thousand iron cavalry.

On the battlefield to the east of the Orange Garden, Li Kan and Zhang Hengqin, the leaders of the Xiliang rebels, led their troops and began to attack Zhou Shen's Chinese army. The soldiers of the Northern Army met the enemy in a dense formation. The two sides fought fiercely.

On the battlefield to the west of the Orange Garden, the defensive position of the rear army was gradually crumbling. Under the continuous and frantic attacks of the rebels, the blocking arrays of the northern army were broken one after another and disintegrated. Although the soldiers fought bravely and swore not to retreat, this kind of stubborn defense at any cost caused a large number of casualties.

On the battlefield south of the Orange Garden, the soldiers of the border army led by Sima Qulu and Yang Chun, the subordinate troops of Liyi, and the troops of Cheng Yin, the candidate for the leader of the rebel army, fell into a melee. The soldiers on both sides of the fierce battle were tenacious and ferocious, and the fight was inseparable.

On the battlefield to the east of the Orange Garden, Xu Rong and his cavalry were surrounded by rebel regiments and were fighting hard.

Koji Yoshiki and Hua Xiong successively rushed to the front army position with their troops.

"Ziwei, you escaped, right?" Koji Yi greeted Huaxiong and laughed loudly, "Now you have a big face." ”

Hua Xiong smiled and said embarrassedly: "My troops can't compare with your border army, it's good that everyone can escape here and pick up a life." ”

"Look at Lao Bian's posture, it seems like he wants to eat us in one bite." Koji Yi continued, "It's a pity that the number of his troops is not enough, and the opponents are the northern army and the border army, although the ambush location and ambush time are ideal, but the strength is not good." ”

Hua Xiong smiled, and the two thick eyebrows shook a few times on his face, as if they were about to fall. He said indifferently: "Fortunately, we are in the middle of the orange garden, if we were in Kwai Yuan Gorge, we would have been finished long ago." ”

Koji Yi smiled: "This time, thanks to Zilie knowing the Kwai Mountain Path, otherwise we would be the guests of the old side." ”

"Where's the guest in the seat?" Hua Xiong smiled, "It's good if Lao Bian doesn't kill us." ”

Koji laughed out loud. He pointed his gun at the front and shouted: "Brothers, kill ......"

Hua Xiong raised his sword, turned back to face the cavalry soldiers, and roared hoarsely: "Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

The cavalry soldiers shouted loudly, and their voices were like thunder, and they suddenly exploded in the dark night.

More than 2,000 horses accelerated, accelerated, and accelerated, and they slashed down against the enemy's cavalry army with incomparable majestic momentum, like a roaring sword.

There was a loud bang.

Zhou Shen led the cavalry of the Northern Army to kill later. They followed closely behind the iron cavalry of the border army, and like a sharp arrow, they shot fiercely into the heart of the enemy.

On the hillside three miles away from the battlefield, Han Sui was sitting next to the fire, playing the swarthy transverse flute with all his attention. The sound of the flute was desolate and deep, drifting away to the battlefield in the distance with the gusts of night wind.

Scouts rushed from all over the battlefield to report the latest battle situation to Ling Ru. Ling Ru is a student of Han Sui, in his thirties, steady and elegant, and is a Sima in the army.

Han Sui finished the song, as if he was still unsatisfied, and still sat silently by the bonfire, gently stroking the transverse flute, as if he wanted to play another song. He stared at the flames jumping in the fire for a long time, and the expression on his face was as flat as water, as if he had forgotten the fighting and fighting on the battlefield of the Orangery.

Lao Bian's injuries began to deteriorate, and he could die at any time, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were exterminated, and the Xiliang rebel army suddenly suffered huge losses in a row, and the prospects were bleak. Now this army of more than 100,000 people is scarred, and there is no longer the majesty of the past. How long can you hold them up with you? Will it go down? Now, if you want to regain your strength again and occupy Xiliangzhou County, it will be difficult, and the best possibility is to continue to occupy Jincheng County and survive. Survival has now become a top priority. Surrender? What kind of surrender can ensure that these brothers can live in peace?

Ling Ru walked over slowly and shouted softly, "Sir......"

Han Sui sighed gloomily in his heart and raised his eyes to look at him.

"Sir, the battlefields to the south and north are in a scuffle, and our army has suffered heavy losses. The combat effectiveness of the Northern Army and the border army was very strong, which greatly surprised us. It is unimaginable that these soldiers walked for three days in a row and traveled more than 300 miles, and they still had such physical strength. The rear army led by Sun Jian is still struggling to support. Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin sent people to say that if they were given another hour, they would definitely solve the problem. ”

Han Sui frowned slightly and asked, "Did Liang Xing's cavalry with Ma Play break through Xu Rong's front army position?" ”

"Zhou Shen's cavalry is all dispatched, and the two sides are fighting." Ling Ru replied, "Sir, the soldiers of the official army have been stubbornly persevering, and they have not fled, causing us a lot of trouble. Sir, now that the raid has turned into a decisive battle, it is completely contrary to our original intention, and we ......"

Han Sui stood up and smiled helplessly, "I know what you want to say." It is not cost-effective to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. Ordered Liang Xing to play with the horses, withdraw from the battlefield with the cavalry, and let the enemy break through and escape. ”

Ling Ru's nervous expression suddenly lightened, he bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "Sir's plan is clever. ”

"After the enemy breaks through, he will definitely flee with all his might. The soldiers were ordered to pursue them so fiercely and fiercely that the officers and soldiers did not even have time to catch their breath and drink water. Han Sui groaned slightly, and continued, "You and Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi stay behind, contain the prisoners all the way, and don't kill too much." ”

"Yes......" Ling Ru said, "is the gentleman going after the enemy himself?" ”

"Mr. ......"

Han Sui ignored him, took a group of relatives with him, and galloped away.
