Chapter Forty-Eight: Capturing Yuan Lie Alive
War! War! War!
After Liu Qi used a short spear to shoot Yuan Lie's more than 2,000 horse army, all that remained was the elite horse army led by Lei Bo from Biyang. The three projectile spears had caused the spear-throwers to temporarily lose their right hand, but they couldn't afford to delay it when the crisis was at hand.
Liu Qi gave an order, and the spearmen invariably waved their spears and rushed forward. As for Xun Yu, at Liu Qi's suggestion, Shi A had to personally accompany the guards. Liu Qi still has to rely on Xun Yu to govern the state and county, so naturally he will not be allowed to have anything to do. In addition to arranging for Shi Ah to guard, he also ordered several henchmen to surround him.
The elite cavalry and the ordinary spear battalion soldiers met at this moment, and the advantage was even more obvious. The powerful war horses rushed into battle, and Liu Qi's more than 2,000 spear battalions and untrained village warriors were instantly scattered by the thunderous cavalry.
Although the spear gives its own soldiers a good restraint on the cavalry, it cannot withstand the opponent's well-equipped and well-armed horses. More than 2,000 ordinary soldiers were already crushed by the thunderous cavalry in a short time. The soldiers of the spear battalion did not have shields to resist, and it was really difficult to resist the onslaught of the thunderous cavalry.
"Ignorant child!" Lei Bo slashed a spear soldier with a knife, and laughed wildly: "You dare to kill me with this little soldier?!" Suffer death! With a sweep of his face, he was depressed by the spear battalion, and slashed the besieging soldiers several times in a row, and shouted loudly: "Children, kill a Lao Tzu and reward you!" Kill them all to avenge your colleagues! ”
"Roar! Kill! Lei Bo is worthy of being a battle-hardened general, and after his transfer, the momentum of the troops he led suddenly increased.
Liu Hu saw Lei Bo's demonstration and disdainful of the same move, and at the same time was furious, Liu Hu shouted: "The madman dares to look at our army as no one!" As he spoke, he patted his horse and raised his spear to meet him.
Lei Bo sneered, blocked all of Liu Hu's attacks with a horizontal knife, and sneered: "The strength is good, but it's a pity that it's a little tender." Then the big knife slashed down the big spear in Liu Hu's hand, directly attacking Liu Hu's chest and abdomen.
Liu Hu seemed to know that Lei Bo had this, and the spear in his hand suddenly flipped up, and slapped the blade of Lei Bo's big knife fiercely, blocking Lei Bo's attack in a daze, and his voice was like a bell: "Eat Lao Tzu's spear!" ”
Liu Hu held the spear with both hands and pushed it hard, pushing Lei Bo away a few steps, and then the spear swung out like a snake sticking out its tongue, straight to Lei Bo's throat. Lei Bo's expression remained unchanged, and he praised: "Good come!" The big knife did not advance but retreated, and there was a clanging sound, and a knife and a spear suddenly exchanged blows.
Seeing this, Liu Pan saw at a glance that Liu Hu was not Lei Bo's opponent, and shouted: "I'm here to help you!" After that, the three guns cooperated with one shot, stabbing the besieging Ma army around him, and the horse caught up.
Lei Bo was shocked in his heart, he didn't see one Liu Hu alone, but if there was more than one Liu Pan, it would be a little difficult. was about to call Yuan Lie, but found that Yuan Lie had already been rushing towards Liu Qi, where would he pay attention to him. It's not Lei Bo's turn to think more now, because Liu Pan's offensive has arrived!
Turn offense to defense! Lei Bo immediately made a decision, and the knife momentum opened and closed to form a burst of knife nets, so dense that the two Liu brothers could not find a good flaw to kill Lei Bo for a while, and the three of them attacked and defended, and they were not equal. It's no wonder that the brothers of the Liu family are about twenty years old, and they have a wealth of battlefield experience, and Lei Bo, as a general under Yuan Shu, is naturally not inferior to these two hairy boys.
However, there is reason to believe that after years of fighting, Lei Bo will not be the opponent of the two.
The words were divided into two ends, and Yuan Lie's eyes erupted with a burst of anger, as soon as the two armies were handed over, he set his eyes on Liu Qi. Now that he finally caught the opportunity, he slapped his horse to catch up, and said angrily: "Liu Qi, take your life!" Before the word was spoken, the big knife in his hand had already slashed towards Liu Qi like lightning.
Liu Qi was not afraid and swung his knife to meet it. When the sound sounded, the two of them retreated a few steps at the same time, and Yuan Lie shouted violently, but he attacked again. Liu Qi's new injury has not recovered, so he has to defend passively.
In the face of Yuan Lie's tide-like offensive, Liu Qi had to choose to take the initiative to defend and fell into a dangerous situation for a while.
Shi A's eyes have not left Liu Qi's left and right, seeing that Liu Qi can resist Yuan Lie, his face can't help but worry for a while, he looked at Liu Qi and then Xun Yu, hesitating whether to step forward for Liu Qi to resist Yuan Lie's fierce attack like a tiger.
Xun Yu saw Shi A's worries, and said: "Third general, there is no need to worry too much here, it is better to help the young general." His words were not bad, and under the protection of nearly ten elite guards, he could rest assured.
"Good!" Shi A is not a pedantic person, he killed the besieging cavalry in two moves, and ordered his personal guards: "Sir, take care!" If the timing is not right, evacuate immediately! The latter sentence was addressed to the guards.
"Third general, please rest assured, even if your subordinates die, they won't let Mr. Xun Yu hurt a single hair!" All the guards said in unison, and the war horses lined up in front, protecting Xun Yu to the death.
Shi A nodded, turned over and slapped his horse towards Yuan Lie. Xun Yu smiled bitterly, both bitterly and moving, and felt that Xun Yu himself was a useless scholar with no power to fight. Xun Yu said secretly: Forget it, I can be considered to be quiet.
The battle on the edge of the moat had already attracted the attention of the Yi people, but because Yuan Lie's infantry was attacking the city very fiercely, he had to concentrate on resisting. Now Yuan Lie's foot soldiers saw that the siege was hopeless, and they besieged Liu Qi's side one after another.
At this time, Yi Zhi came to his senses, raised his arms and shouted: "Our reinforcements are here!" Kill everyone! Kill all these thieves! ”
"Reinforcements are coming!" The morale on the city wall suddenly soared, and fierce arrows were shot at the retreating Yuan Lie's foot soldiers, and many people went down the city wall under the leadership of Yi and pursued them.
Zhao Yun under the city gate was already ready to go, and when he saw Yi Yuan coming down from the city wall, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Jibo, why did you come down, could it be that the enemy army has already attacked the city wall?" ”
"Reinforcements are coming!" Yi Ji carried a war sword, although he was a scribe, but his bravery was no less than that of any elite soldier, "The eldest prince brought thousands of foot soldiers and was fighting the enemy on the edge of the moat. "In fact, there are not thousands of people, and this is just a rhetoric that the Iraqis have stirred the hearts of the army and the people.
Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and called out to the city gate guards to open the city gate: "Open the city gate!" Reinforcements have arrived, and the soldiers are all at this time! ”
Squeak! The city gate was pushed open in the hands of the guards, revealing a crack two or three meters wide, and Zhao Yun shouted: "Rush with me!" "Shoot your horse first and rush towards the battlefield on the other side of the moat.
"Kill!" ……
The soldiers of the Baiwei battalion are worthy of the elite cavalry that Chen Zhi has cultivated and Liu Qi has always relied on, and under Zhao Yun's order, the elite of the 2,000-strong Baiwei battalion seemed to penetrate the city gate in an instant, chasing the enemy army marching in the direction of Liu Qi.
Zhao Yun was even more like entering a no-man's land, exerting the power of a spear on a war horse, and each shot took the lives of one or two enemy soldiers, and these Yuan Lie foot soldiers did not pose any threat to Zhao Yun at all.
As a person after the palace, Yi led the homeless people to chase and kill the fish that slipped through the net. The arrival of Liu Qi's reinforcements made the soldiers and civilians in the city can't help but shout, and many people with weapons have slashed and killed outsiders with Iraq.
Two thousand fresh troops joined the battlefield, and the soldiers and villagers brought by Liu Qi instantly rebounded a lot, and they fought more bravely to kill the enemy.
"Oops!" Yuan Lie and Lei Bo secretly said at the same time, Yuan Lie's expression was grim, and he knew that if he couldn't capture Liu Qi at this moment, the arrangements that had been made for a few months would be in vain. Therefore, the knife was more rapid, and Shi A was very anxious.
As soon as Shi A just entered the battlefield, Lei Bo's cavalry couldn't get out for the time being in order to come up, and their purpose was even clearer, that is, to let Shi A Chi not be able to help Liu Qi, as long as Liu Qi was captured, Yiyang County would be in their pocket.
A steady stream of cavalry besieged Shi A, even Shi A, who had earth-shattering force, was difficult to get out for a while, Shi A's heart couldn't help but become more and more anxious, if he delayed on his side, Liu Qi would be in danger.
Shi Ah swung his three swords, repelled the cavalry that surrounded him again, and cursed secretly: "It's too much to deceive people! Do you think I'm incompetent! "Riding a horse and using a sword on the battlefield is indeed not conducive to giving full play to Shi A's original strength, Shi A immediately decided, the long sword was blocked horizontally, and he grabbed a spear by the way, and the sword and spear were instantly powerful on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, Lei Bo's cavalry did not attack Shi A himself, but turned to attack Shi A's crotch and war horse. Hiss! The war horse was suddenly stabbed by the enemy and suddenly fell to its knees. Annoyed and ashamed, Shi Ah rolled on the spot, dodging the combined attack of many enemy troops.
For horse warfare, no matter how long the weapons and martial arts are, it is very difficult to compete. Shi A's current situation is even more difficult than Liu Qi's.
"Third brother, let the second brother help you!"
Zhao Yun came with a spear and stabbed the enemy cavalry in front of him to death with a single shot, and several shots in a row would take the life of an enemy soldier, so strong that the cavalry besieging Shi A had no reason to suffocate, and turned to besiege Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's strong arrival relieved Shi A's pressure, he took advantage of the situation to grab an enemy horse, turned over on the horse, and the spear and sword flew up like a long dragon, repelling the enemy cavalry: "Second brother, go and save the eldest brother!" ”
Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this, and looked at it from a distance, Liu Qi's injured figure suddenly caught his eyes, and his heart suddenly became angry, connecting the cavalry who were besieging with several moves, and said secretly: "Big brother, hold on!" ”
"Who dares to hurt me, my big brother!" Zhao Yun shouted violently, broke out of the encirclement, and the straddle horse roared, and the distance of dozens of zhang rushed over at once.
"Ahh Zhao Yun was furious, and the spear charged towards Yuan Lie with a blow, bang! Yuan Lie turned around and stabbed to block most of the attack, but unfortunately he couldn't defend himself, and with the sound of a snap, the other person suddenly fell like a kite offline, and fainted in an instant.
Zhao Yun no longer paid attention to Yuan Lie and asked urgently, "Big brother, are you okay?" ”
Liu Qi shook his head, saying that he was just a skin injury, so he asked Yuan Lie to be tied up, and said loudly: "The enemy general has been captured!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”
"Those who descend will not be killed! ……”
Lei Bo heard this undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, Liu Pan stabbed directly at Lei Bo in a stunned moment, and Lei Bo came to silence at this time, and he could dodge away. Unexpectedly, Liu Hu then stabbed over with another spear, poof! Lei Bo couldn't dodge, and his right hand was instantly stabbed by Liu Hu, deep into the bones.
"Ahh Lei Bo hurt into his heart and lungs, and with a fierce knife separated Liu Hu's spear, and then endured the severe pain and swung several knives, and after successfully forcing Liu Pan back, he said: "Retreat!" ”
As soon as the word retreat was exported, he did not turn his head back and retreated in the direction of Biyang, and less than a thousand soldiers and horses left under the tent abandoned their armor and followed Lei Bo to retreat.
"Where to go!" Liu Hu shouted angrily and was about to slap his horse and chase after him, Liu Qi hurriedly shouted: "Poor Kou Mo chases ......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Qi collapsed due to a long battle, and he was about to faint immediately.
"Big Brother ......"
