Shi Min sighed, and then said to Wang Chong: "Since this is the case, let's kill these Hu people to avenge the ancestors who were killed back then!" ”

"That's what I thought! We're going to kill all these Hu people! ”

Shi Min smiled and nodded, and then asked, "How long will it take to get out of this valley?" ”

"It's coming! There is still about half a stick of incense. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It's too slow! Gotta speed up! Shi Min frowned slightly.

"Young General, don't be in a hurry, this mountain path is full of gravel, and our horses are not as fast as running on flat ground, but when you cross this path, you will be flat, and it will be faster to go to the clouds like that."

Shi Min knew that Wang Chong's words were very reasonable, and he couldn't come in a hurry, so he could only hurry like this.

After Shi Zun's army and the Xiongnu and Qiang coalition forces encountered, the two sides started a fight, the Huns were all brave, and many good horses, for a while Shi Zun's left and right wings were all suppressed by the Qiang people.

"Herald! Pass the order! Let the foot soldiers form a phalanx, disrupt the formation of the Huns, and the archers will shoot me! Shi Zun shouted at Tan Yuan while swinging his knife and slashing.

"Yes!"

Shi Zun knew in his heart that this was a vicious battle, and for the Huns, if they lost, not only would many people die in battle, but many people in the tribe would starve to death because they did not eat or drink. For Shi Zun's men and horses, if they lose, they will definitely be killed by the Huns, and Li Cheng and Yunzhong will also be looted, this sinner, no one dares to do it.

The herald had just ridden to the rear of Shi Zun's cavalry, and before he could convey Shi Zun's order, a stray arrow suddenly flew over and shot him off his horse.

When the foot soldiers not far away saw this scene, they immediately reacted and formed a formation.

It turned out that on both sides of the infantry phalanx, two cavalry teams appeared, which were the 10,000 men who had lost their traces after crossing the river and marching east with Da Danyu's 20,000 horses.

"Defense!" The infantry commander saw that the Hun cavalry was menacing and immediately gave an order.

The biggest advantage of cavalry over infantry is that it has super mobility, and can achieve rapid detours. Although the reaction of the foot soldiers was very fast, no matter how fast it was, it was no faster than the arrows of the Huns, and before all the shield soldiers stood in place, many people had already died under the arrows of the Huns.

"Your Highness! Oh no! There were a lot of Hun cavalry behind us. Tan Yuan suddenly walked through the chaotic battlefield and crawled to Shi Zun's side and shouted.

"Immediately bring a thousand cavalry to support! We must not be copied back. Shi Zun was covered in blood, panting and shouting to Tan Yuan.

"No! I have to stay with Your Highness and keep you safe! Tan Yuan refused to leave.

"Don't talk nonsense! If the back road is copied! We're all going to be finished! Just go! Shi Zun didn't care about saying much, and after speaking, he led his subordinates to continue to rush and kill.

Tan Yuan helplessly pinched the horse's belly, and then turned around and led people to support the foot soldiers.

To say that the cavalry tactics of the Huns are really powerful, even though the infantry is superior to the Huns in numbers, but the Huns are not willing to fight you head-on at all, just leaving 2,000 people to constantly harass the infantry phalanx, and the remaining 8,000 people go straight to the back of the Shizun cavalry team.

"Shoot the arrows! Can't let them cut off His Highness's back road! "The infantry commander knew the intentions of the Huns, and he didn't care about the two thousand Huns, so he directly ordered the archers to shoot arrows at the eight thousand.

For a time, thousands of arrows were fired, and many Huns were shot by arrows. The 2,000 Huns on the periphery also took the opportunity to attack the infantry phalanx, and at the same time carried out long-distance cavalry shooting, even if there were shield soldiers in front of them, whether it was not an airtight wall, there were still many people who fell to the ground with arrows.

"Points!" The infantry commander shouted in order.

Soon, with the sound of a drum, the phalanx of fifteen thousand foot soldiers began to move, quickly dividing into three phalanxes. The three infantry phalanx were still on the outermost side with shield soldiers, and the second row was spearmen, with spears sticking out of the phalanx, so that the Hun cavalry did not dare to approach, and could only fire arrows from a distance.

"Push!" The infantry commander ordered again.

Immediately followed by a rapid rain drum, the three foot soldiers phalanx were divided into three teams in a tight and orderly manner, and moved towards the back of the Shizun cavalry, the purpose was obvious, that is, to prevent the Huns from breaking off.

Although the infantry commander reacted quickly, many Huns still rushed into Shi Zun's men and horses, and many of them did not know that there were Huns behind them, and before they could react, they died under the sword of the Huns.

Shi Zun's team immediately fell into chaos, and at this moment, Tan Yuan rushed over with a thousand men and horses, and cut down when he saw the Huns, and many of Shi Zun's subordinates reacted and immediately participated in the encirclement and suppression of these Huns who rushed in while the chaos.

Shi Zun's rear stabilized a little, but the frontal forces were a little stretched, and the men and horses on both wings were always pressed and beaten by the Qiang people, which really responded to an old saying, the bold are afraid of encountering the dead, these Qiang people are so desperate, not only to survive, but also for the old and young of the tribe, naturally they are doing their best.

Shi Zun's men and horses were gradually at a disadvantage, and their morale was getting lower and lower, Tan Yuan suddenly rushed back and said to Shi Zun: "Your Highness! The situation is unfavorable! We have to retreat to Li Cheng quickly! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! Now withdraw it, and these more than 10,000 foot soldiers will die here! How do you let us explain to our father! Shi Zun yelled at Tan Yuan.

"If the sheep is gone, you can be circled again, but if the people are gone, there is really nothing! The foot soldiers marched overnight, and they didn't rest long before facing the enemy, and they couldn't stop the group of Huns coming from behind! If we don't retreat, we will be surrounded! ”

"Fart! How can this king's men and horses be so vulnerable! Hold on a little longer! When Wang Shicheng's men arrive, we can turn defeat into victory! Shi Zun gritted his teeth and insisted on refusing to evacuate, because he knew that once he evacuated, tens of thousands of horses would have no fighting spirit, and no matter how fast he ran, he would be caught up by the Huns and Qiang, and as long as he was caught up, he would definitely die. If this battle is lost, then his prestige in the court will be gone.

Tan Yuan saw that Shi Zun was so resolute, and he could only helplessly lead people to continue to entangle with the Huns, the two sides fought for a long time, and neither side had the intention of retreating.

At this time, in the city in the clouds, Lu Hailong was anxiously waiting for the scout's reply, and finally, a fast horse ran back from afar, Lu Hailong hurriedly ran to the city tower, and shouted to the gatekeeper at the same time: "Open the city gate quickly!" Fast! ”

The man rode into the city on a fast horse, quickly stopped his horse, and then said to Lu Hailong: "General Qiqi! Beizhi found a large number of footprints of men and horses behind the camp of the Huns and Qiang, and went in the same direction, Beizhi chased out dozens of miles, and these footprints showed no signs of dispersion, obviously acting together. ”

"Tell me quickly, in what direction are the Huns and Qiang going!" Lu Hailong had already guessed in his heart, but he needed a more accurate answer, because he hoped that the Huns and Qiang would continue to besiege Yunzhong, otherwise he would really die without a place to bury.

"It is estimated that the Huns and Qiang people have gone to Licheng!"

After all, Lu Hailong still heard the news he didn't want to hear.

"Come on, order troops and set off with General Ben!" Lu Hailong's brain was hot, and he immediately commanded his subordinates.

"General! Where are we going! An adjutant asked.

Lu Hailong said with a cold face: "The Huns must have gone down to His Royal Highness King Qing, and now they may have handed it over, if His Highness has something long and short, our people in Cloud City will not be able to get rid of it!" ”

After Lu Hailong finished speaking, he was about to lead the horse, but the deputy general grabbed him and said, "General! Don't be impulsive! Now the situation outside is unknown! In case you take people out of the city, the Huns will return to the horse and gun, and the 20,000 horses will directly turn back and kill us! We can't stop it! In that case, this cloud city can be saved, which is equivalent to giving it to the Huns! ”

When Lu Hailong heard this, he was stunned, he didn't expect this at all, if the Huns used this to attract them out of the city, once they met the Huns on the flat ground, even if all the 10,000 horses in the clouds were touched, it would be impossible to stop the combined forces of the 20,000 Huns and the Qiang people, and the city in the clouds would really be sent out.

Thinking of this, Lu Hailong couldn't help but sit on the stone pier next to him, and was stunned for a while before he ordered his subordinates: "Send someone out again!" Investigate the movements of the Huns, and once they are really at war with His Royal Highness King Qing's men and horses, they will come back immediately to report! ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant nodded. Then he got up and went to arrange for the people.

Shi Min finally took 3,000 men and horses out of the path, and after driving for a few hours, Shi Min ordered a short rest and proper drinking water. Shi Min pulled Wang Chong to continue to discuss the route of the march to the north.
