Chapter 38: Breakthrough
Ma Yi also saw this scene, didn't care about the exclamation, and immediately ordered: "Zhang Chao, you lead the elite cavalry to be the vanguard, and take advantage of the chaos of the enemy army at this time, tear the hole that just rushed out for me to make it bigger!"
"Order!"
He then ordered other generals to lead their troops to assist in cooperating.
The unstoppable momentum and dazzling achievements made Chen Xu's figure incomparably majestic, everyone's courage doubled, morale soared, and the military spirit gathered.
Zhang Chao led dozens of horsemen, a small number of elite soldiers as the edge, he took the lead, raised his knife and shouted: "Kill!" Kill! ”
The first wave of these dozens of cavalry pioneers was a high-speed sprint, and when they arrived in front of the enemy formation, the horses instinctively began to slow down, but the sprint speed in the front was too fast to stop the inertia brought by the high-speed charge in front.
Bang!
Bang!
……
A rider with a man and a horse plus the iron armor he wears, to say the least, he must have seven or eight hundred catties, plus inertia, at least a thousand catties.
The few riders who rushed to the front, and the huge force of at least a thousand catties crashed directly into it.
"Boom!"
I only heard a long shout, and there was a sound like the collision of heavy weapons in metal, and in the chaos of the army, in the dim light, a few traces of sparks were particularly obvious.
The enemy flanks flipped on their backs, clanging and clanging, and they were in a mess.
For the time being, no one has time to trouble Chen Xu.
Chen Xu stepped forward and shouted, "Lin Xianxian!"
Lin Zhaoyuan glanced back at Chen Xu at this time, and just recognized that this was the friendly army of Wei who came to the rescue.
A moment later, Zhang Chao also led his troops to break through the enemy formation and rushed in.
As soon as the encirclement was lifted, Lin Zhaoyuan also reacted, he was not stupid, he quickly took advantage of this opportunity, lifted the knife, and ran over here, and several other guards were not lightly injured, and they didn't want to die here, so they all ran towards this side with a sigh of relief.
But these Rouran cavalry are not vegetarians, the horses' hooves stomped on the ground, and the Rouran army that surrounded Lin Zhaoyuan and them quickly swarmed up, quickly divided, and only heard a miserable scream from the rear, which had already suffered a misfortune.
The cavalry that rushed out joined up with the men and horses outside and fled the scene as quickly as possible.
In the rear, there was a pursuit of the Rouran army, Ma Yi led the cavalry to help, and the enemy's offensive slowed down a little.
At this time, Ma Yi's cavalry had gathered and concentrated, and the troops had lost a lot, and when Xinzhou set off, there were three hundred elite cavalry, and only one or two hundred cavalry were collected back. In the north, the enemy army was also reinforced by the Rouran army from other directions, and as far as the eye could see, the troops of Ma Yi's troops who came to relieve the siege had fallen into a large encirclement.
In this way, Chen Xu and others have less room for activity.
The main force of Lin Zhao's far side has been beaten into chaos by the cavalry of the Rouran Army reinforced around it, and the left flank troops are almost about to collapse.
Fortunately, the sun had set, and night had fallen, and the sky was full of stars but not a moon.
It was dark, and the two armies fighting in front had not yet lit their torches, and the light was very dim.
Chen Xu took advantage of the chaos to lead everyone out of the enemy formation, and Lin Zhaoyuan's army was defeated by the Rouran army and became a mess, plus the sky was dark and his vision was not clear.
A group of rebels fled to the south.
Chen Xu, who has good eyesight, saw the infantry lined up in front of him from afar, and reminded loudly on his horse, but unfortunately there were chasing soldiers behind the group, who were fleeing for their lives, running fast, in a hurry and panic, and the surging cavalry broke up the infantry queue.
The infantry first retreated from their own cavalry, but soon because of the confusion, they scattered and ran.
In the darkness of the night, the horses ran wildly, and the army was crushed.
Everyone was running for their lives, and no one spoke.
In one day today, Ma Yi's department and Lin Zhaoyuan's department lost a lot of soldiers and horses, but there is no time to count the number of people now, but at least 3,000 people.
The only thing to be thankful for is that at least the purpose of this battle has basically been achieved, and Lin Zhaoyuan, who has half a life left, has been rescued.
Chen Xu looked back and was shocked.
I found that there were no people in the crowd, and Suo Hu and He Meng were gone!
It must have been scattered in the chaos army, and it may have been trapped by the Rouran army.
Chen Xu secretly said "not good" and ordered everyone to flee with Ma Yi's team.
Turning back and sprinting, where he passed, blood splattered five feet, and people turned on their backs, like harvesting ripe grain in a wheat field, piece by piece.
Although it was night, the surrounding environment, in Chen Xu's eyes, was as dark as day, like watching fire, without any obstacles.
It didn't take long for him to see a group of Rouran cavalry in the north, charging back and forth on horseback.
Chen Xu looked at it fixedly, and saw He Meng holding an iron knife, iron boots on the ground, and a burst of dust, like a steaming locomotive. He struggled forward, slashing the knight upwards and the horse's legs downward, and for a moment no one could come close. And Sohu fought back to back with him, side by side, but the disadvantage of the two became more and more obvious. On the one hand, there were more and more enemy cavalry around, and on the other hand, the two of them had just spent a lot of physical strength when they rushed to relieve the siege of Lin Zhaoyuan, and their physical strength was not enough, and the speed of swinging the knife was also significantly slowed down.
"Here!" Chen Xu shouted.
He grabbed his horse's back and galloped away, killing the enemies who came to block him.
At this time, Suo Hu and He Meng were already in a bitter battle, and suddenly heard a person shouting loudly in the distance, the voice was very familiar, and they could hear that it was Chen Xu's voice.
The two of them were very convinced of Chen Xu's force, and their faces also showed joy.
Seeing that the two were surrounded, Chen Xu was furious and furious.
Before, he had the idea of taking the two of them to Daliang, how could he let the small team that lacked manpower be folded here by these guys! Both of them are fierce generals, but they haven't mixed up yet.
Rushing to the front, Chen Xu slashed his big knife and immediately tore open his formation, and then relieved the siege of Suo and He.
"Let's go!" Chen Xu raised his whip on the war horse and pointed at the ownerless war horse nearby, and greeted. Just now, the owners of these two horses were beheaded by Chen Xu alone.
Suo Hu and He Meng didn't talk nonsense, and they jumped on the horse.
The three of them rode away together towards the south.
Chen Xu observed the surrounding enemy situation from time to time, and when he encountered an enemy riding forward, he used the strong bow that had been hanging on his back before, and shot them down one by one, never empty.
Bang!
There was a dull sound of an arrow from behind, followed by the sound of a man falling from his horse to the ground.
Chen Xu just shot another person.
With him in charge, the three of them were in danger along the way.
Because there were enemy pursuers behind them, the three of them didn't say anything all the way.
After escaping for a short time, they rejoined their allies halfway through. Everyone is actually very tired, if it weren't for the fear of the pursuers in the rear, they fought hard and didn't dare to relax, if not, they would be like lying on the ground and sleeping well.
During this period, he met Lin Zhaoyuan, who was shot into a hedgehog, this guy is rough and thick-skinned, so he is not dead, he suddenly asked: "What is your name?"
"My name is Chen Xu." Chen Xu replied. He didn't want to say anything more at this point.
Lin Zhaoyuan said "um" and didn't speak.
