Chapter 118: The First Battle of Tongguan
More than 100,000 horses fought in Tongguan Muye, and the shouts, swords, war horses, and screams were endless.
Sun Chuanting came to Vice General Han's side. It was a big challenge for him to rescue Vice General Han from the swords of several high-ranking generals such as Huzi, Xiang Bo and Li Zicheng on his own.
Sun Chuanting was the first to face Huzi, because Vice General Han was picked off the horse by Huzi, so he was naturally within Huzi's attack range. Just as Huzi brandished the silver halberd and poked it at the injured Vice General Han on the ground.
"Keep people under the gun!" Sun Chuanting waved a big knife, rode a fast horse and roared by, "Bang Dang" swept away, blocking the silver halberd!
This knife, like the halberd that stabbed at Vice General Han just now, caught Huzi off guard. The shock from the barrel of the gun made Huzi understand that Sun Chuanting in front of him was really extraordinary, judging from the opening on the silver halberd, Sun Chuanting's knife was not only a good knife, but his skill was even more unfathomable, and he was stunned to cut the bright silver halberd out of a gap!
However, Huzi is young and vigorous after all, how can he easily succumb to softness, adjust slightly, pull the reins of the horse, rush towards Sun Chuanting, and counterattack a halberd, but the two are not at the same level after all, when Sun Chuanting gallops on the battlefield, I am afraid that Huzi will not be able to ride a horse, Sun Chuanting is not only strong in martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war.
"Huzi be careful!" I only heard Li Zicheng advise Huzi, the red tassel on Huzi's silver halberd has been cut to the ground by Sun Chuanting, and the halberd was tightly held by Sun Chuanting, the two were deadlocked and confronted each other for a while. It's not that the tiger is bad, it's just that Sun Chuanting is scheming.
Seeing the tiger landing, the nearest Xiang Bo rode over on horseback, although this Uncle is not the other Xiang Bo, but this Uncle can also make a good sword! Only this time it was Xiang Bo dancing the sword, which was intended to be Boya (Sun Chuanting). Xiang Bo did not block Sun Chuanting's knife to kill Huzi, he knew that Sun Chuanting's knife skills were good, and the internal force was even more unfathomable, and it was probably useless to block hard, but it was easy to injure Huzi by mistake, so he counterattacked Sun Chuanting's left side, after all, Sun Chuanting was holding a sword in his right hand, and if he wanted to block, he had to turn his whole body, so that Huzi would have a chance to escape.
Sure enough, Sun Chuanting felt a powerful sword aura coming from his left ear, with his years of combat experience, he knew that this was a peerless swordsman! At least among so many, he's the best! Sun Chuanting didn't dare to be careless, he flipped over, drew his knife to block the left side, the swords collided, and with a "chok", a spark was sparked, and the two tightened the reins of the horse, and each took a few steps back!
"Good sword!"
"Good knives!"
"It's a pity, it's a pity to meet on the battlefield, if a friend sits down and dances the sword and swords, don't be a pride!"
"In life, there are many unpredictables, you and I are our own masters."
"Each is his own master, Li Zicheng has been able to achieve today's achievements in just a few years, I'm afraid it is inseparable from you swordsmen and swordsmen, right?!" Sun Chuanting stared at Xiang Bo's wise eyes and sneered.
"The king obeys the will of heaven and the people, we are just some miscellaneous people." Xiang Bo said modestly.
"What a miscellaneous. Sun will meet you today, look at the knife! Although Sun Chuanting cherishes talents and loves talents, he also knows that this battle is always inevitable. The two armies are fighting, the enemy is outnumbered, and only by defeating more enemy generals and leaving them leaderless can they have a chance to win, and these things must be borne by him alone.
In the wilderness, the two sides fought each other, each with its own losses. And the fight of generals seems to have become an unwritten rule on the battlefield, and soldiers will never interfere!
The so-called art of war is treacherous. It did not appear in this war, or, it has appeared.
Sun Chuanting and Xiang Bo fought with swords for more than 30 rounds, and Sun Chuanting had a slight advantage, after all, Xiang Bo was old, and his strength was far inferior to that of the middle-aged handsome Sun Chuanting. Seeing that Xiang Bo was about to be unable to support it, and his subordinate Sanyuan generals were defeated by Sun Chuanting, Li Zicheng knew that he could not spend any more, if the general was not guaranteed, it would be very difficult for him to wave the 100,000 army, after all, the army was also composed of various departments, and if their leading brother died in battle, he was not allowed to break the army's morale. At that time, with Sun Chuanting's military talent, it is not impossible to defeat twice as many troops as him. Therefore, when Sun Chuanting Taishan pressed against Xiang Bo, Li Zicheng shouted, "Stop!" "Swing your knife and rush towards Vice General Han, murderous! With lightning speed, Vice General Han was hijacked
"Brother Han!" Sun Chuanting knew in his heart that he must have annoyed Li Zicheng by inflicting heavy losses on several generals in the army. Therefore, he knew that Vice General Han was in great danger at this time. Not to mention that Vice General Han is his brother-in-law, just by employing people, looking at the army, those who can help him Sun Chuanting are difficult to produce two people except for Vice General Han!
"General! Leave me alone. One pays three, it's worth it! Vice General Han shouted to Sun Chuanting.
"Sun Chuanting! If you don't want his head to hit the ground, stop me! Li Zicheng threatened.
"Do you think my grandson is scared? All men are mortal? Although Li Zicheng said this, he was already worried. He has to think about Vice General Han, for the sake of these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he has to be responsible for Tongguan and the capital! He glanced at the battlefield, although both sides had their own losses, but after all, there were twice as many soldiers and horses as himself, which he Sun Chuanting could not afford. This battle has made him understand that Li Zicheng's strength is not invincible, but it is not easy to defeat. If you can stop for a few days, you can't know if you will make a comeback! But if he really killed Xiang Bo and the others, Li Zicheng would naturally not give up, and there would be no way to retreat.
Thinking like this, Sun Chuanting sneered, "Okay! Pontus let them go, and you let Vice Admiral Han go! ”
"General!" Vice Admiral Han didn't fully understand what Sun Chuanting meant.
"Okay, the gentleman is quick to say a word! As long as my brothers return to the formation, I will release Vice General Han! Li Zicheng agreed.
Sun Chuanting immediately put away his knife, but kicked Uncle Xiang hard, the enemy was outnumbered, and Vice General Han was still in the hands of Li Zicheng, he had to make sure that these generals who went back had no power to fight back for the time being, beware of Li Zicheng breaking his promise!
"You!" Seeing that Xiang Bo was kicked off the horse by Sun Chuanting, spitting blood in his mouth, Li Zicheng glanced at Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting's face did not change, his eyes were cold, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.
This is Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting, who makes Li Zicheng have scruples, no matter what kind of danger he is in, he is not shocked, this is the determination that has been cultivated after how many baptisms of war? Li Zicheng naturally has the most experience, because this is how he grew up!
"Mingjin retreats! Hurry up and pick up the military division! Li Zicheng ordered several soldiers to step forward to support Xiang Bo and the others. As the horns of both sides sounded, the two anti-dumpers withdrew their troops! Exchange generals!
"Withdraw!" Li Zicheng ordered. Three of his generals were wounded, and Li Zicheng did not dare to come nonsense no matter how many soldiers and horses he had, so he immediately ordered the army to retreat.
In order to preserve his strength, Sun Chuanting also ordered all the soldiers to retreat into Tongguan! At this moment, Tongguan rushed out of a straddle horse, it was Wu Youke.
"General!" Wu Youke ran to Sun Chuanting's side to report.
"Why are you here? Didn't I make you look at Lord Killing? ”
"General, I'...... It was Lord Killing Wind who asked me to help you. Wu Youke looked at the tragic battlefield and said, Sun Chuanting looked at the disabled troops and was silent.
"Hmph, isn't this Mr. Wu Youke, a miracle doctor? I asked you to go out of the customs a few days ago, but you refused, why? After watching today's scene, do you regret it? Li Zicheng is accustomed to agitation.
"Although he is a small doctor, he also knows where he is fundamental, and everyone has their own ambitions, so why should General Li be agitated with words?" Wu Youke asked rhetorically.
"Good people have their own ambitions, you are kind enough to help Sun Chuanting heal the plague, but what is the result? Did he appreciate it? Li Zicheng transferred the discord again.
"Whether to cure or not is my business, and whether I appreciate it or not is his business. As a doctor, it is within his duty to practice medicine and cure diseases, and General Sun, as the commander of all armies, naturally has his strategy. Each performs his own duties, General Li will not be unaware of this, right? Wu Youke said.
"Hmph. Rotten wood cannot be carved! Li Zicheng saw that the plan failed, but he humiliated himself, and the new students were angry.
"Hey! I've let you go. I think that the commander of your dignified army of 100,000 will not be untrustworthy and will not let go of our Vice General Han, right? Sun Chuanting urged, because he felt a hint of ominous omen in Li Zicheng's eyes.
"Hmph. When did I break my word? Walk! After Li Zicheng saw his last general, Liu Zongmin, come back, he pushed Vice General Han.
"Humph! What to push? Lao Tzu himself will go! Vice General Han shook his shoulders and walked past Liu Zongmin with his iron halberd, without even looking at it.
It was precisely because Vice General Han didn't pay attention that something happened! Liu Zongmin walked past Vice General Han, and suddenly whipped Vice General Han from behind, this blow was not small, Vice General Han was caught off guard and fell to the ground on the spot!
"Brother Han!" Sun Chuanting shouted in surprise, "Li Zicheng!" You untrustworthy villain! Come on! Sun Chuanting saw Vice General Han fall to the ground and vomit blood, he was annoyed and angry, and chased him out.
"Your grandmother, you want to kill Lao Tzu! Come on! Li Zicheng didn't expect Liu Zongmin to carry out a sneak attack from behind, although he had a lot of soldiers and horses, but it annoyed Sun Chuanting, it was not a trivial matter, besides, the army had withdrawn for several miles, and three more people were injured here, Sun Chuanting had already killed him violently, what should I do? Run! Immediately, Li Zicheng and his gang dragged and pulled and hurriedly withdrew!
"General!" Vice General Han knew that this was the enemy's trick and was trying to lure Sun Chuanting deeper, so he stopped Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting jumped off the horse and picked up Vice General Han who was vomiting blood, "Brother Han! You must hold on, brother, I won't do it for you, Liu Zongmin will never come back to see you! Dr. Wu, hurry! If you can't cure Vice General Han, I'll ask you! Sun Chuanting wiped the blood from the corner of Vice General Han's mouth and summoned Wu Youke. Wu Youke took over Vice General Han from Sun Chuanting, he knew that Vice General Han was not lightly injured this time, and his life and death were uncertain, but he still held back his grief and gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Soldiers who can stand, follow me!" Sun Chuanting swung his knife forward. Although it was Vice General Han's accident that made him make such a decision, it was a strategy that he had already calculated to implement the decision. As soon as the two armies finished fighting, there must be slackness, and many generals of the invading army were seriously injured, this is an excellent opportunity, as long as 10,000 light soldiers and iron cavalry can crush the invading army, not to mention that he still has 30,000 horses in his hands. Taking advantage of the victory to chase is not the best policy!
So, Sun Chuanting stepped on his horse and waved his sword to pursue the breaking army. This is something Li Zicheng never expected, he believes too much in the 100,000 army behind him. When Sun Chuanting's chasing soldiers surrounded him, Li Zicheng was not prepared to fight back, and the large number of people became an unfavorable situation at this moment. In desperation, Li Zicheng had no choice but to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to retreat into Tongshan as an expedient measure.
