Just as Xue Boren was about to kill himself, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Stop!" My lord! ”

Xue Boren was taken aback, because it was Lu Qinghan's voice. When he turned his head and looked at it, he saw Lu Qinghan coming straight to him with dozens of horses. At this time, several spears of the Tuqi soldiers had already been stabbed, and Xue Boren swung his sword to push the spear head away. Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Qinghan had already jumped on horseback and arrived, stabbed two Tuqi cavalrymen to death with two shots, and the cavalry that followed behind covered up and temporarily stabilized the situation.

Lu Qinghan jumped off his horse, and with two soldiers, he struggled to lift the horse's corpse and dragged Xue Boren out.

"I'm not going to make it, look at this leg." Xue Boren smiled bitterly.

When Lu Qinghan looked at it, he saw that the leg was lying on the ground at a strange angle from the knee down, and it was completely unusable. Lu Qinghan didn't say a word, lifted Xue Boren up and put him on the horse, then flew up and jumped on the war horse and said, "Let's kill back!" ”

"What are you doing! You and I can't get out of it! Xue Boren said angrily.

Lu Qinghan smiled slightly: "Do you want the last general to abandon the adult?" ”

After that, Lu Qinghan slapped his horse and danced his gun and killed him back the way he came.

When the Turks saw that their enemy was going to be rescued alive, they immediately pursued closely behind, and the archers on all sides fired indiscriminately at the small team. Lu Qinghan's subordinates held shields to protect the two wings of the main general, but in this rain of arrows coming from all directions, they were hit by arrows one after another.

Xue Boren lay on the horse's back, and was also hit by an arrow in his thigh and shoulder. When he looked back, he saw that Lu Qinghan had already inserted seven or eight arrows in his back, but he kept using his spear to stab the Tuqi soldiers who were blocking in front of him from his horse. Lu Qinghan saw Xue Boren's eyes and smiled: "It's out of the way, my lord." Protected by armor, it did not hurt the internal organs. ”

"But it's too slow. You're going to die! ”

As soon as Xue Boren's words fell, Lu Qinghan was hit by another arrow, this arrow hit him in the left rib, there was no armor to protect it, the arrow was deeply embedded in the flesh, and a wisp of blood gushed out from the corner of Lu Qinghan's mouth. Apparently the arrow went into the lungs.

"Don't screw this anymore! Put me down! Xue Boren said angrily.

Lu Qinghan grinned, and blood suddenly gushed out of his mouth: "Lord Jinglu, please forgive me for not being able to obey my fate." Taiyuan Mansion can do without me Lu Qinghan, but it can't do without you. Even if you take this life, the last general will save you back. ”

Xue Boren shook his head and sighed, he knew that it would be useless to say anything more. In the subsequent battle, Lu Qinghan was as brave as a madman, and his cavalry was as crazy as him, even if it was reduced to single digits, they still stubbornly used their shields to protect the main general. Let yourself be shot by more and more arrows until you don't fall off your horse.

At this time, Lu Qinghan's headquarters cavalry was also sacrificing their lives to meet the main general, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, almost to the point of being within reach. However, Lu Qinghan's dozens of horsemen had all been killed, and at the moment when he broke away from the enemy's entanglement and returned to his own formation, a feather arrow shot him in the back! The strength of this arrow was far from being comparable to other arrows, and it actually penetrated through the thick armor and shot into Lu Qinghan's body for nearly half a foot! Lu Qinghan rushed into his camp with all his might, and after handing over Xue Boren to his subordinates, he lost consciousness.

After that, Xue Boren relied on his extraordinary perseverance. He ordered his men to tie himself to his horse, and commanded the whole army to retreat despite the pain. The fierce battle continued until the next morning, when Xue Boren led the rest of his troops back into the city of Ulzhou, and the Turks gave up the pursuit. Then the siege of Ulju began.

In this battle, only 2,700 of the 35,000 soldiers under Xue Boren's command survived, and almost all the rest were killed, and more than 3,000 of Lu Qinghan's 10,000 cavalry remained on that battlefield forever. Although the Turks also suffered more than 20,000 casualties. However, in terms of Xue Boren still trapped in Ulzhou City after the war, the commander of Taiyuan Jingluo Mansion was vacant, and the crises in Youzhou and Liaodong were still unresolved, it can be regarded as a fiasco for the Silk Country.

Xue Boren, who was trapped in Ulzhou City, was still facing a critical situation, and the deputy general Lu Qinghan was much more seriously injured than him. Completely in a coma. Therefore, Xue Boren, who was seriously injured, could only fight hard to command the defense of Ulzhou City, and the fatigue and lack of medical conditions for several days made him delay the treatment of his broken leg, and finally fell disabled.

At this critical juncture, Zhu Tianshun, a military general in Youzhou, made a contribution. Due to Abicheril's transfer of troops to the south, Zhu Tianshun quickly noticed that the Turkic army besieging him had changed its guard, and the besieging soldiers had become old and weak. Therefore, he organized a breakthrough operation in time and succeeded, and after dispersing the remnants of the enemy army, he successfully stabilized the connection between Liaodong and Youzhou, and then went south again, helping Yang Lian stabilize the situation in Youzhou.

He Ling on the Liaodong side also noticed that the Tuqi offensive was slowing down, and he soon realized that the enemy's main force had moved south. Unfortunately, he was unable to effectively organize his forces to defeat the enemy, so the old general took great pains to borrow troops from the chiefs of the various tribes in Liaodong, and after meeting their harsh demands, he finally gathered strength, and was able to drive the Turks out of Liaodong. Later, the old man fell ill from overwork.

Of course, these are all afterwords, and none of these crises have been resolved at that time, but a new trouble has been added, that is, the Taiyuan crisis.

Because the two generals were trapped in Ulzhou City, Taiyuan Jingluo Mansion was actually in a situation where there was no leader. Although they can implement the battle plan formulated by Xue Boren on a daily basis, once none of the generals and colonels have this authority, and there is no such person to lead the whole army, the state capitals will inevitably fall into a situation of fighting their own battles; Things on the battlefield were changing rapidly, and Abicheril was a fearsome figure, and his use of troops was not something that ordinary generals could handle. At present, it is true that he is a soldier in Ulzhou City, but if he transfers his troops to take Taiyuan Mansion, no one knows whether he can hold it.

Therefore, immediately after Xue Boren's report that he was trapped in Ulzhou City in Youzhou, emergency documents from all over Taiyuan Mansion were sent to the capital like snowflakes. In this way, it was the turn of the order for Xue Boren to send troops to rescue Liu Yan, the emperor of Youzhou. (To be continued......)
