Chapter 140: Desperate Survival
The three hundred cavalry rolled up the billowing smoke and dust, and rushed straight towards the Zhao army's infantry at the mouth of the valley, who were only concerned about fighting with the soldiers of Longxi. And the drumstick in Han Ning's hand was also tight. With the increasingly tight drumbeat, the Liangzhou army took firm steps and advanced towards the valley mouth.
Feng Ding led the remaining more than 100 cavalry under his command to come out of the formation, and then rushed towards nearly a thousand Hun cavalry twenty or thirty steps away. He was determined to die at this moment, so he jumped his horse and speared and moved forward.
In this short distance of twenty or thirty paces, the Hun cavalry released a wave of arrow rain to the cavalry under Feng Ding's command, and in an instant, one-third of the Longxi cavalry fell from their horses. Feng Ding himself was also hit by an arrow in the chest, but he was wearing double armor, so the arrow did not penetrate deep into the flesh.
Feng Ding looked back and saw his subordinates and horsemen falling to the ground one after another, and his heart was full of sorrow. He held the spear in his hand tightly, and in a blink of an eye, he had rushed to the front of the Hun cavalry formation, and the Hun cavalry also abandoned their bows and drew their swords, and the two groups of people were already fighting together in an instant.
Feng Ding had already set his mind to die, so all he was thinking about at this time was how to kill a few more enemies. In the face of the blade slashed by the Hun cavalry with the sound of the wind, he almost did not dodge, and a silver spear pierced left and right, and every time he put on a posture of wanting to die with the other party.
When those Hun horsemen saw Feng Ding, their eyes were red, and they wanted to choose people and devour them like crazy. After a little hesitation between the matches, he was picked off by Feng Ding. Feng Ding became more and more courageous, although he was besieged by the enemy army at this moment, the silver spear in his hand was still as fast as lightning, sometimes sweeping, sometimes like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.
Many of the Hun cavalry who fought against him at first were killed under Feng Ding's resolute attack that did not care about defense. As the number of Hun cavalry who fell off their horses gradually increased, the rest of the Hun cavalry around them were already cowardly. They controlled the horses to move back and forth, limiting Feng Ding's range of activities, but no one dared to step forward easily.
The Longxi cavalry behind Feng Ding was also all the elite of Chen An's subordinates. They have been rampant in Longxi for more than ten years, and their long-term military fighting has already allowed them to hone their exquisite martial arts that are enough to stand out from the crowd. However, at this time, in the face of the absolute superiority of the Hun cavalry siege, there were only dozens of Longxi cavalry left, and they also continued to fall from their horses and die.
Feng Ding didn't have time to think about everything before and after. The fear in the eyes of these Hun horsemen in front of him only increased the wildness in his heart. From time to time, he rode forward, and the Hun cavalry around him roamed left and right, trying to avoid a head-on confrontation with him. Despite this, Feng Ding, who was already desperate in his heart, was still able to see the opportunity to pick out individual Hun cavalry off his horse.
While knocking another Hun cavalry off his horse, Feng Ding looked up to the sky and roared: "Wen Yuan! Have you ever seen it! It's not that I'm responsible for you, it's actually Liangzhou that is responsible for me! You wait, Feng will come down to accompany you later! ”
After speaking, Feng Ding clenched the silver spear with both hands again and continued to devote himself to the life-and-death struggle with the Hun cavalry. On this battlefield, only fighting and life and death remain.
Feng Ding knew in his heart that under the current situation, he and the dozens of remaining cavalry soldiers under him were all wiped out, and it was only a matter of a snap of his fingers.
He turned back and looked at the remnants who were still at Taniguchi. I vaguely saw that the only hundreds of people left were also divided into several pieces by Liu Zhao's pawns. Little by little, the Zhao army is eating away at these loyal soldiers under him.
Feng Ding secretly lowered his head and sighed. Then, he raised his head and rose to the rest of his courage and continued the battle in front of him.
No matter how you look at it, this battle is nearing the end. His own soldiers are constantly falling to the ground and dying in battle. And the main force of the Zhao army is still there, and it still does not hesitate to slaughter its subordinates.
The courage to fight to the death, and the determination to put it to death, could not win a glimmer of life for these subordinates. Feng Ding had no hope in his heart, let alone hope shattered. At this moment, he is only unwilling. Feng Ding's gaze passed through the Hun cavalry besieging him around him, repeatedly patrolling, trying to find out the location of the Hun general.
However, although he determined the approximate location of the Xiongnu generals through some searching, the Hun cavalry surrounding him became the biggest obstacle to his long-cherished wish at the moment.
The horse under the seat was also panting at the moment, and it staggered back and forth, telling Feng Ding that it was no longer able to fight. However, Feng Ding, who had already put life and death aside, how could he retreat at this moment? Feng Dingxin gritted his teeth, turned the horse's head, aimed at the approximate position of the Hun general, and then pulled out a delicate short knife from his waist and stabbed it into the horse's buttocks without hesitation.
The horse suddenly suffered from pain, neighed, and then rose up, galloped wildly, and galloped straight towards the Hun cavalry surrounding him. A number of Hun cavalry who were blocking him in front were caught off guard, and in the blink of an eye, two more were picked off by Feng Ding.
Seeing that Feng Ding was heading straight for the main general, the rest of the Hun cavalry wandering in the rear surrounded him one after another, trying to stop Feng Ding. Feng Ding rushed left and right, but he was always suppressed in the encirclement by these cavalry, unable to move.
Feng Ding heard a burst of nonsense behind the battle, and then, the Hun cavalry surrounding him pressed over step by step, seeing that under the strict orders of his superiors, he wanted to kill him who had broken through here. Feng Ding looked up at the gray sky again, but he was speechless in his heart.
Looking at the Hun cavalry approaching step by step, Feng Ding already felt exhausted. At this time, the horse also lost a lot of blood and gradually lost its strength. However, at this moment, another cold arrow shot from the oblique stab, hitting Feng Ding's shoulder. Feng Ding couldn't support it anymore, and when he staggered, he was about to fall under the horse.
"General! Reinforcements are coming! With a shout, the remaining twenty or thirty of his own cavalry soldiers entered through the formation and joined forces with him. When Feng Ding heard this, his spirit instantly perked up, and then he looked at the only remaining subordinates and asked, "Where did the reinforcements come from?" ”
Looking in the direction of his subordinates' fingers, Feng Ding saw that not far away, a cavalry raised billowing smoke and dust, and in the blink of an eye, it had entered the infantry formation of the Zhao army. Although many people were stabbed by the spears of the foot soldiers, the cavalry was very resolute and rushed straight towards their side.
"Is it the Liangzhou Army?" Feng Ding, who was desperate, had a bit of excitement in his voice when he asked. At this moment, he only had a feeling of disbelief. Originally, the defeat was decided, and he was about to die here, but unexpectedly there were reinforcements to save him, Feng Ding was like a person who was about to drown, and hugged a life-saving straw.
However, the cavalry, their distinctive armor, sharp weapons, and resolute will, were very real in front of Feng Ding's eyes, and he couldn't believe it.
"It's the Liangzhou Army...... They are here to save us......" At this moment, Feng Ding, whose complexion had regained his ruddyness, had already brought a little hope of coming back to life. He stared intently at the cavalry that had broken through the formation regardless of casualties, and then rushed straight towards his side. The first general, wearing a red tasseled helmet, wearing a sleeve armor, and carrying a spear, rushed all the way to kill, and many Zhao soldiers had already fallen to the ground under his attack.
"Quick, all the monarchs gather and break through in the direction of the Liangzhou army!" Feng Ding made a decision immediately, and immediately ordered his subordinates. The subordinates immediately followed the order, close together, and then followed Feng Ding's order, and charged towards the Hun cavalry in the direction of the Liangzhou army.
However, before he could run a few steps, Feng Ding's horse suddenly ran out of strength, and then fell to the side. Feng Ding felt the horse sink under his seat, and he knew that something was wrong in his heart, and as the horse fell to the ground, he struggled to jump away from the horse, so as to avoid the fate of being suppressed.
"General!" Seeing this, a rider beside him hurriedly reined in his horse and wanted to pull Feng Ding onto the horse.
Feng Dingfang was almost crushed by his own war horse, and at this time he was also frightened, seeing that the rider stopped, he stretched out his hand to pull himself on the horse. Feng Ding subconsciously stretched out his hand, but before he could get on the horse's back, several breaking sounds came from the air, and in the blink of an eye, the rider had already been hit by several arrows in his back.
Feng Ding looked at the horseman and glared, showing all kinds of unwilling eyes, and his heart was like a knife. He looked back, but saw many Hun horsemen behind him stretching their bows and arrows, and immediately shot at him.
At this time, his qi and blood were surging, and the scene of the horseman being shot with an arrow kept replaying in his mind at this moment. Feng Ding gave up on his horse to escape, but turned back with a spear in his hand, and wanted to fight these Huns to the death.
The wave of arrows released by the Hun cavalry was knocked away by Feng Ding with a spear. However, two arrows pierced through the spear's dense defenses and stabbed Feng Ding's iron-clad torso.
One of the arrows hit the iron armor leaf and was immediately bounced away. The other arrow, however, was like an eye, and it hit Feng Ding's collarbone impartially, where it lacked the protection of iron armor.
The Hun cavalry in the rear saw that Feng Ding had lost his mount and was hit by several arrows, and they couldn't help but feel contempt, they slowed down a few steps, then pulled out the scimitar in their hands, and then rode their horses and launched an attack on the stubborn enemy general.
At the same time, the cavalry led by Li Yanzhao's troops also rushed to the left of the surrounded Feng Ding. Although the Hun cavalry who blocked it was fighting with a sword, it could not withstand the two-sided attack of the Liangzhou cavalry and the remnants of Longxi, not to mention that at this moment at this junction, the Liangzhou soldiers and the Longxi soldiers had formed an absolute advantage over the Hun cavalry that was blocked.
The Hun cavalry who blocked were cut off by the fighting Liangzhou cavalry and the Longxi cavalry, and a breakthrough soon appeared in the encirclement of Feng Ding and his Longxi remnants. Seeing that he had rushed through a gap, Li Yanzhao rushed into the formation first, crossed the Longxi cavalry who were still fighting, and then saw Feng Ding, who was holding the spear in his hand and barely fighting with the Hun cavalry.
Li Yanzhao stepped on the stirrup, took out the bow and arrow from his waist with both hands, opened the bow and shot the arrow, and with the sound of the bowstring, the arrow was already rushing straight to a Hun cavalry who rushed to the front. However, at the same time that the Hun cavalry fell to the ground with an arrow, Feng Ding, who was wielding a spear and fighting, was also negligent, and was stabbed by a Xiongnu cavalry who rushed out of the oblique stab and fell to the ground......
