Chapter 79: The Battle of Gaochang
Out of Yumen Pass, Wei Shuo personally led the iron cavalry to gallop all the way, striving to return to Gaochang in the shortest possible time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was on a horse, the wind whistling in his ears, and behind him was a black crushing cavalry.
Each rider knew that the Gaochang army was in fire at this moment, and they all spurred the war horses under their crotches with all their might, and galloped westward.
In order not to reveal the whereabouts of the army, the scouts of the Western Regions encountered along the way were all killed and destroyed.
After a continuous march, the 6,000 iron cavalry finally arrived at Gaochang. At this time, the urgent report sent by the scout made Wei Shuo worried.
"Zhong Xuan, the coalition forces have learned of the return of our army, and they are now organizing the withdrawal of troops overnight, it seems that it is impossible to catch the enemy by surprise."
After receiving the military report handed over by Wei Shuo, Zhang Zhan browsed it and said disappreciatively: "Lord, what if the enemy army finds out about the whereabouts of our army?" With the tens of thousands of tired troops under Gaochang City, how can they resist the rush of thousands of elite iron horsemen? What's more, the enemy army has no intention of resisting at all, they are all busy retreating and fleeing. ”
"At this time, as long as the iron cavalry of the army takes advantage of the situation to rush forward to cover the kill, the enemy army can only collapse and flee."
"Well, those who know me, Zhong Xuanye! The order was given, and the army immediately set out to kill the coalition camp. ”
At this moment, the coalition forces were still arguing over the order of evacuation, completely unaware that Gaochang reinforcements had arrived at their side.
Suddenly, there was a shout of killing in the east, and I saw thousands of well-equipped lions and iron horsemen, rolling up smoke and dust in the sky, like a sharp blade, roaring straight into the coalition formation, cutting it into several sections.
Wei Shuo danced his long stick, pointed at the coalition camp in front of him, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
With the sound of killing, Wei Shuo pinched the horse's belly fiercely and rushed out first.
Kang Long followed closely with a mace in hand, followed by six thousand elite iron horsemen.
"Boom ......" In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves was like a landslide and tsunami, instantly covering the entire battlefield.
Six thousand iron horsemen launched a surprise attack, only to see the swords flashing everywhere, the shadow of the guns was pervasive, the murderous aura shook the sky, and the roar of horses' hooves like thunder resounded throughout the four fields.
The coalition people, who were still making a lot of noise, were immediately frightened, and even Bai Zhen forgot to organize a human resistance.
With the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the war horse stepped on the horseshoe and slammed it on the ground, and the powerful impact shook the earth so much that even the earth seemed to tremble slightly.
Some of the clever coalition soldiers suddenly turned pale, as if they thought of something terrible, and they got up with a grunt, picked up their weapons and were about to rush out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he showed his head, he was chopped to the ground by the Gaochang cavalry who rushed to the front.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack." A terrible scream rang out over the coalition camp......
In less than half a burnt of incense, the coalition battalion, which had just had a little order, has now completely lost its restraint.
Every soldier expected to leave the place first, and no one would obey the orders of the king, ministers, and generals.
Bai Zhen could only watch as the army under his command suddenly collapsed under the attack of the reinforcement cavalry. Now his eyes are hollow, and he is no longer in high spirits.
"King, the enemy reinforcements are coming, the army has collapsed, you better retreat quickly, it's really too late if you don't leave."
In the face of the Prime Minister's advice, Bai Zhen was indifferent, as motionless as a stone carving.
At this time, he still didn't believe that the huge coalition army had collapsed like this, and King Guizi felt that he was in a nightmare, and that everything would be fine as long as he woke up.
It's a pity that this is just his good wish, with a loud "boom" from the front camp, pulling Bai Zhen back to reality from his fantasy, he raised his eyes and happened to see Wei Shuo leading the iron cavalry into the coalition camp.
At that moment, Bai Zhen was depressed with negative emotions in his heart, as if he had found an outlet, his whole face turned red, and he stared at Wei Shuo who was galloping across the battlefield with hatred.
Suddenly, somehow a stream of blood suddenly surged into his head, and he turned his head to the minister of the country and said: "The defeat in this battle has made Qiuzi's plan to restore the hegemony of his ancestors fall short, and the widow is the lord of the country, and he should bear all the responsibilities, and he has atoned for his sins by dying in battle." ”
"The king can't, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, and keep a useful body for the future."
Seeing that the king of Qiuzi was determined to die, the minister couldn't help but persuade him.
In his opinion, although Qiuzi was defeated in this battle, as long as he pretended to be a grandson in front of Wei Shuo, he might not be able to escape this catastrophe.
And this is also the tried and tested move of the Western Regions countries in the face of the Central Plains dynasties of the past dynasties.
"No, the widow has no patience to continue waiting, and if it weren't for the widow's instigation, my country would not have suffered another defeat."
"Therefore, both public and private widows have no shame to live anymore."
"After you go back, tell future generations that don't provoke the Central Plains Dynasty at will, and surviving well is the king."
After speaking, Bai Zhen, the king of Qiuzi, ignored the repeated obstructions of the prime minister, and led his personal soldiers to the battlefield without hesitation, and fought with the oncoming Wei Shuo.
As the saying goes: when enemies see each other, they are very red!
Bai Zhen roared angrily and swung his long knife towards Wei Shuo.
Wei Shuo, who was rushing left and right to kill, suddenly saw a person coming from the opposite side, and hurriedly used a stick to hold the opponent's knife momentum and observe carefully.
When he saw the face of the person who came, Wei Shuo was overjoyed, and immediately danced a long stick to wrap Bai Zhen into the battle circle.
Originally, Bai Zhen knew that Wei Shuo was not easy to deal with, but after getting started, he realized that he was far from the opponent's opponent.
It's just that after a dozen rounds of fighting, he gradually feels unsupported.
Fortunately, Bai Zhen came with a will to die, so he let go of his defense, and he was bent on dying with Wei Shuo.
Wei Shuo, who originally had the upper hand, suddenly encountered a madman who didn't want to die, and he was a little hurried for a while.
In the face of Bai Zhen's lifeless style of play, where does he have a chance to fight back, he can only guard the door carefully and not give the other party a chance.
With the passage of time, after Wei Shuo withstood Bai Zhen's opening three axes, he gradually grasped the initiative.
And Bai Zhen has no follow-up strength, although he looks like a mad tiger, he has lost his rules and has no threat to Wei Shuo.
Sure enough, Wei Shuo saw the opportunity, picked up the long stick in his hand hard, picked Bai Zhen's long knife away, and pulled out the horizontal knife with his right hand and slashed at Bai Zhen's neck.
I saw a piece of blood splashed, and Bai Zhen screamed miserably, clutching his neck and falling to the ground.
After killing Bai Zhen, Wei Shuo continued to rush into the enemy formation, slashing forward and stabbing back, rushing left and right, and showing great might.
Also brave and invincible is Kang Long, who killed the ghosts of the Western Regions with a mace and howled wolves.
The earth shook violently, and the Gaochang Iron Horse swept in, like thousands of Grim Reapers, accompanied by terrible shouts of killing, like the demons that appeared in hell rode the black clouds to kill.
Originally, the coalition army and the Gaochang defenders had been fighting for several months, and they were already exhausted, and after Wei Shuo rushed up with the iron cavalry, the coalition soldiers immediately collapsed, and they couldn't stop the wolf-like iron cavalry at all, and gradually messed up.
In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the allied soldiers fled one after another, and some were knocked away by the oncoming iron horses, some were trampled by the merciless hooves of horses, and some fell unwillingly when they saw a flash of white light.
The Gaochang Iron Cavalry killed people and set fire to them, and the entire coalition camp seemed to explode!
Miserable shouts, loud crashes, burning fires, all sorts of sounds mingled.
At this moment, an even more terrifying voice sounded on the battlefield, "King Qiuzi has been killed, flee!" ”
Hearing the shouts of King Qiuzi's death suddenly sounded on the battlefield, the non-commissioned officers of the coalition army, who had already collapsed, were now running around like headless flies.
With the death of King Qiuzi in battle, the coalition army completely lost control, and the soldiers of various countries no longer obeyed the orders of the Chinese army.
The army was scattered and retreated, and could no longer organize a decent resistance.
Tens of thousands of horses trampled each other, fleeing soldiers pushed each other, and countless people died when trampled by horses' hooves.
really responded to that sentence, and flew separately when disaster came!
Wei Shuo looked at the coalition camp that had collapsed, and was overjoyed, and immediately increased his attack.
Looking back at the Gaochang Iron Cavalry sweeping towards the enemy army, he suddenly felt that victory was in sight, and suddenly Wei Shuo felt that his blood was boiling, and a wave of pride gushed out from his heart, stimulating him to hate to jump away with the galloping war horse.
Wei Shuo raised his long stick and roared with all his strength: "Kill! Kill! Kill all your enemies! ”
The personal guards cavalry echoed in unison: "Kill ......"
More cavalry heard the shouting, and with all their strength they followed, shouting: "Kill ......"
