Chapter Seventy-Five: Duoyan's First Battle

The entire Confederate camp was instantly stunned by this surprise attack that fell from the sky. For a while, no one moved, everyone just stood in place stupidly, breathing, heartbeat, and the whole body trembled with the earth, and there was a dead silence. Then, He Fu was the first to wake up and immediately shouted:

"Yan Jun is here! Prepare for battle!! ――”

"Prepare for war! Prepare for battle-" The soldiers of the Confederate army in all directions shouted with him. The entire battalion of the Southern Army immediately became a mess, like an anthill that had been alarmed, and the 250,000 soldiers of the Southern Army ran in all directions, rushing to their respective camp tents to get weapons, and each looking for his own commander, and the shouts and shouts were boiling. Sheng Yong's five thousand cavalry were already on standby, and at this moment they were lined up outside the camp, looking at the huge cloud of smoke and dust rising higher and higher in the distance approaching rapidly, and they were ready to attack. The rest of General Sheng's troops had also fled outside the camp. Ping'an has gathered all his soldiers and is rushing outside the camp, to take the lead with Sheng Yong's cavalry. He Fu was still shouting and commanding the other generals to quickly assemble the team, and the array in the camp was quickly gathered.

However, the Yugoslav army was prepared too late anyway. It must be known that the most terrifying killer feature of the cavalry is speed, not to mention that this time, the vanguard of the Yan army is the menacing Duoyan Sanwei. In the blink of an eye, 20,000 Mongolian elite horsemen swept the entire field of vision of the southern army, overwhelmingly pounced in front of the southern army, and rushed to the front of the tall Yanzi Daxu, with golden armor all over his body, dragon horses flying into the sun, dark faces, and long flowing hair, it was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, himself.

Sheng Yong and Ping'an's cavalry bore the brunt of the attack, and instantly submerged into the black pressure of the Yan army, desperately resisting the impact of Duoyan Sanwei on the southern army camp. Shen Ruoyu saw King Yan's face in the camp, and his heart fluttered. He jumped into the second-rate son, while impatiently urging Zhong Kexi to hurry up and get on the horse. The little stove soldier didn't know whether he was frightened by the Yan army or frozen by the severe cold, and it took a long time to finally climb awkwardly on his horse. The cavalry of the Southern Army outside the camp was no longer able to resist at this moment, and was completely crushed by the terrible Mongol cavalry. Seeing that the black-pressed Duoyan Sanwei rushed into the camp like a huge wave wall that stretched for ten miles, all the wooden fences and thistles were wiped out under the iron hooves of the Yan army. In an instant, there was a scuffle in the camp, and the tents were uprooted, and they were blown into chaos by the whirlwind of cavalry; The elevated watchtower also collapsed. Before a large number of Southern soldiers could see clearly, they died under the iron cavalry of King Yan. More soldiers of the Southern Army bravely and fearlessly rushed forward with spears and spears, and launched a desperate fight with the brave Yan army. The advantage of Duoyan Sanwei was extremely obvious, and after a while, the southern army had suffered a large number of casualties, but the Yan army had no losses, and the wild Mongolian cavalry wantonly assaulted in the large camp within a radius of more than ten miles, and opened a killing spree.

Seeing that the seventh battalion of the Southern Army had completely become a pile of dust, it was wiped out under the hooves of Duoyan Sanwei. Shen Ruoxiao was a little frightened, and took Zhong Kexi to crash around in the chaotic camp, passing through the gaps between the warring parties, and fleeing outward, looking around in fear, for fear of colliding with King Yan. In a moment of panic, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Jinglong breaking out of the camp under the escort of a group of cavalry and running towards the southwest. Shen Ruoyu shouted to Zhong Kexi:

"Chase the General!"

The two men and two horses rushed to the gate of the camp with great difficulty, and were about to flee in a southwestern direction. At this moment, another burst of billowing smoke and dust that was even bigger than Duoyan Sanwei just now rushed to the front of him, and King Yan's reinforcements arrived. The generals led by Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu. King Yan led the forward Duoyan Sanwei to almost dismantle the entire southern army camp, and now the follow-up troops are catching up, obviously cleaning up the mess, and the more than 200,000 southern army soldiers trapped in the camp don't know how much is left, and now they don't know how much they can escape.

Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the lonely two horsemen standing at the gate of the camp that no longer existed, and motioned for the troops behind to stop; After seeing that it was Shen Ruoliao, the three of them looked at each other, and they didn't know which side this person was for a while.

Shen Ruoyu also looked at the three of them in a daze for a while, and his mind was blank for a while. At this moment, He Fu led a team of broken cavalry to rush out from inside and shouted:

"Lord Prison Army, go quickly, I have He Fu here!"

Shen Ruoyu heard him shouting, came to his senses, turned his horse's head and rushed back to the camp, shouting to He Fu:

"General He, we have to break through. I'm going to find An Luhouβ€”"

He Fu chased after him: "Lord Overseer, are you crazy?" This is not the place for you! It's too dangerous, please leave immediately! ”

Zhu Gaoxu outside shouted, and together with Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, he brought more than 100,000 Yan troops behind him to cover up.

He Fu's face had changed color. He said:

"Lord Supervisor, there are me He Fu and General Wu here, please leave the camp from the south immediately! This squad of cavalry is here to escort you through the siege, don't delay any longer! ”

Defeat is decided; At the moment of life and death, Shen Ruoyu calmed down. He immediately observed the situation around him; In this gap, a team of swallow riders pounced; He stretched out his hand and pressed Zhong Kexi down on the horse's back, dodged the two halberds, the autumn wind came out of the sheath, and swept away the Yan soldiers around him with a brush on the ground, and when he saw that He Fu was also struggling to meet the battle, he immediately rushed in and fought side by side with He Fu, while shouting:

"General He, the generals have left us alone, and we can only take care of ourselves. It's better to find Marquis Wu and General Heping quickly, and everyone should withdraw together. ”

He Fu's spear overturned the last two Yan cavalry who surrounded him, and said: "General Ping and General Sheng are both in the front formation, and they will collapse at the first touch, and they are nowhere to be seen until now, and I don't know if there are any lives; Let's find General Wu first, find An Luhou, don't wait for the others, meet directly south of the camp, and withdraw directly! ”

"Understood!" Shen Ruoyu left in response; As soon as he turned around, he ran into a team of horsemen who pounced on him, all of them fierce and strong. He was reluctant to kill these elite soldiers of the Yan King, so he just blocked their attack, and protected Zhong Kexi while fighting and leaving, while looking for the shadow of Wu Jie, Marquis of An Lu.

The sun sinks in the west; It was getting dark. The two sides have been fighting fiercely for an afternoon, and the victory and defeat are clear from the beginning, and the 160,000 horses of King Yan are now just trying to annihilate the 200,000 southern army at Zhengcunba in one fell swoop. Shen Ruoyu finally found An Luhou Wu Jie, who was already with He Fu and was leading his soldiers to break through to the south. At this moment, someone in the Yan army suddenly shouted:

"Stop the south, Hugh is going to run away from the thieves!"

A large number of Yan soldiers outflanked from both flanks and blocked the way. The southern army fought bloodily all the way, desperately tearing open a rift, squeezing out inch by inch.

After a while, it was completely dark. Shen Ruoyu retreated a group of horses, but when he looked up, he found that He Fu and Wu Jie were missing. The surrounding tide generally poured up all the soldiers of King Yan, and originally he did not bring troops under him, except for Zhong Kexi, none of the soldiers of the Southern Army followed him. He was so dizzy, there was no sun, he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, and he didn't know where to go to find the big army, so he was a little helpless for a while. Suddenly, he jerked around, and a tall dragon pony stood in front of him. On horseback, a man with gold armor all over his body, long hair and belly, carrying a long steel lance horizontally, and a long sword at his waist, with a swarthy light, he didn't need to look up to know that it was Feiri and his master.

Zhu Di stood there motionless immediately, looking at Shen Ruoyu with wide eyes, a little incredible.

Shen Ruoyu finally raised his face and looked at King Yan's surprised and questioning gaze, only to feel an uncontrollable wild beat in his chest. He couldn't say a word.

Zhu Di looked at him in confusion, as if he was waiting for him to speak, as if he was also hesitating, not knowing what to say. The face flickered and shimmered.

The few generals behind King Yan couldn't hold it back. A person suddenly jumped in front of Zhu Di on a horse, and without saying anything, the halberd stabbed at Shen Ruoxiao, as sharp as lightning. Shen Ruoyu was taken aback, his back flashed, the autumn wind overhead the halberd, and when he looked at the person, it turned out to be the bold soldier Xue Liu who had stopped Yao Biao at the gate of Duanli.

He has no intention of fighting; Staying in front of King Yan for a moment longer, he felt unbearable. He didn't want to hurt anyone around King Yan. The autumn wind bypassed the halberd, shook a sword, and led Xue Liu's halberd away, taking advantage of his inability to retract the momentum, the second-rate son jumped out, bypassed King Yan, and rushed behind him.

A touch of golden light ran through, and a tiger general plunged in front of him, but it was Zhu Gaoxu, and without saying a word, the red tassel spear flew in. Shen Ruoyu dodged and gave up a shot, and wanted to ride his horse away, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't give up, pressed up, and shouted:

"Treacherous villain, shameless traitor! I'll kill you for my fatherβ€”"

Shen Ruoliao complained bitterly in her heart. But at this moment, in the dark, the two horsemen suddenly rushed out of the night and rushed to the middle of the two, one of the long lances knocked over Zhu Gaoxu's spear with only one pick, and the other silver spear stabbed straight at Zhu Di behind. The Yan generals were taken aback, and they all rushed to the Yan King to block the tip of the spear; Zhu Gaoxu was also frightened, took back his spear and protected it in front of his father, not daring to fight again.

The second general who relieved the siege for Shen Ruoliao also had no intention of fighting, and he accepted it when he saw it, and immediately collected the lance and silver spear, and couldn't help but turn the horse's head, carrying Shen Ruoliao and Zhong Kexi, and rode the horse to the south to kill.

Shen Ruoyu asked in surprise: "General Sheng, General Ping, you are still alive!" ”

Sheng Yong and Ping'an, who escaped death, didn't have time to answer him, the two of them were covered with blood and mud, and led a few soldiers of the Southern Army under their command, while killing and repelling the Yan soldiers who were pursuing and besieging them, while galloping, they finally broke into the outside of the camp, but unexpectedly on the left and right wings, the two Yan troops of Hula covered up again. The two horsemen who rushed to the front were waving the long lance in their hands and swept towards them who were fleeing for their lives, but suddenly stopped their hands and withdrew the lance, and at the same time strangled the war horse under their crotch.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and saw that the two Yan generals, one on the left and one on the right, both raised their hands and ordered the soldiers behind:

"Let them pass! Don't let go of arrows! ”

Shen Ruoyu saw clearly that the two generals, one on the left and one on the right, were Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, and immediately understood, and was grateful, not saying anything, just kicking the horse's belly violently. The second-rate son was like an arrow from the string, and instantly left a messy battlefield far behind.

Seeing this, Sheng Yong and Ping'an immediately chased after him, and Zhong Kexi, who was immortal, also tried his best to catch up, and finally escaped death, and was honestly relieved.

The group ran wildly south for a while, until the bright moon was shining and there were no more people around, so they stopped. Ping An asked:

"What do we do now, where are we going?"

Shen Ruoyu said: "I made an appointment with General He and Marquis Wu to meet at the south entrance of Daying and break out together, but I was separated. Now, I don't know where they were, whether they escaped or not. ”

Sheng Yong asked, "What about the general?" ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled helplessly: "It's completely superfluous for us to worry about the general." By this time tomorrow, he might have arrived in the capital. Now the priority is what we should do. ”

Sheng Yong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Of course we are retreating south; But what about the siege troops? No one is going to send them news, and the Yan army will immediately go to save Beiping, and when the time comes, they will be miserable if they are attacked from inside and outside. ”

Ping An immediately said, "I'll go and report the news; General Sheng, you come to escort the prison army to retreat south. Let's meet in the river. ”

Sheng Yong thought about it and shook his head.

"The river is too close, and the Yan army can easily chase after it. If my guess is correct, the general himself must have gone straight to Texas. Let's meet in Texas. If you see General He and An Luhou, please let General Ping tell them. ”

Ping An said: "Understood! Go safely, Lord Jianjun, General Sheng, take care! ”

With that, he turned his horse's head and led a few of his southern cavalry who escaped with him in the melee, and rushed to Beiping City in the northwest.
