Chapter 670: Victory
The wind stopped completely, and tens of thousands of people came over with torches, and they were all cut and killed by the Ningxiang army, and they had already dispersed. The torches were extinguished one by one, and the sight began to darken.
But just as Sun Yuan's eyes gradually adjusted to the dimness, there was a sudden brightness in front of him.
More than a dozen neatly armored thief troops rushed out of the crowd, and they all looked like the elite of the thief army.
"Finally met resistance." Sun Yuan suddenly came to his senses, and when he looked closely, he saw that the enemy general with the helmet decorated with the brown hair-like helmet of the male master who had been cut off by Jing Ran had killed him again.
This time, the spear in his hand was replaced by a saber. He was not riding, his right leg seemed to be wounded, and he limped to the front of the group.
Sun Yuan was a little surprised: this guy came here so quickly, and he was so tenacious, but he was a man. Okay, so-and-so will give you a death worthy of you!
The lame general roared loudly with his mouth open, struggled to restrain his troops, and bounced around the crowd with his comical limbs, constantly driving the rebels to turn around and kill. It's a pity that the thief army is a thief army after all, and in this kind of collapse, even the Jiubian Town Army can't restore order for a while, let alone these homeless people who have no military training.
No one paid attention to him at all, and after killing two people in one bite, the thief army not only did not recover, but also scattered the more than ten elites.
The man had even his helmet squeezed out by the frenzied crowd, and he kept eating the sand with his mouth open.
Sun Yuan suddenly sympathized with him, and felt ridiculous
。
The two Ningxiang cavalry rushed forward brandishing their swords, and the enemy's face changed, and instead of retreating, he advanced, and with a violent sound, he waved his saber forward.
The sound was so loud that the high-speed sprinting war horse obviously paused.
The white light flickered, and the long knife instantly cut off the head of the war horse.
A large cloud of blood bloomed, and the knight on his horse fell to the ground. The thief general rushed forward and slashed the cavalry to death. Another cavalryman let out a mournful roar when he saw his comrade killed. But at this moment, the enemy general's horse chopping knife flashed again, directly breaking through his breastplate, and almost using brute force to sweep it off the war horse.
What kind of knife is this, about one meter and fifty meters long, with a fine ash rod for the handle, and the thickness of an egg. The back of the knife is as thick as a thumb, the blade is two and a half feet long, and it is oxtail-shaped, and the style is quite similar to that of the Song Dynasty.
Compared with it, the Miao knife that is common in the Ningxiang army is a little brother.
It is said that the horse chopping knife first appeared in the Tang Dynasty and was used in foot combat. Later generations also said that this kind of knife is the legendary Mo knife. During the Tang Dynasty, the infantry wore thick armor and formed a formation, which was specially used to restrain the cavalry. Chop the horse's legs, cut the head, and in wartime, the neat military formation marches like a wall, and everywhere it passes, the people and horses are broken.
The two knives of this guy just now really have this taste.
After cutting off the cavalryman from his horse with a sword, the cripple jumped onto the horse with a dexterity that ordinary people did not have, and the swords in his hand danced into a ball of white light.
Two more Ningxiang horsemen forced up, and the guy cut off one of them off his horse. The eyes of the other three were red, but the enemy's weapons were longer than the sabers in their hands, but they couldn't attack them for a while, and they were also a little afraid in their hearts.
Sun Yuan took a breath of cold air, and the strength of the enemy general was beyond his expectations. Previously, when he was cut off by Jing Ran and fell into the crowd, Sun Yuan may not have no contempt in his heart, feeling that this is an ordinary thief officer.
But he didn't want to, the second time they met, this guy's martial arts surprised him.
Judging by his bravery, he is no less than a donkey. In the entire Ningxiang army, I am afraid that only Zhu Xuanshui can easily take him down.
Of course, if Fu Shan is here, this person can be solved in one move. It's a pity that Lord Fu Qing doesn't know where he is at the moment.
The reason why this cripple suffered a big loss in Jing Ran's hands before was because he was defenseless for a while, no matter how strong his martial arts were, he could withstand a knife with the help of the sprinting speed of the war horse
。 Moreover, the weapon in his hand is not right, if it is replaced by this horse chopping knife, no one can say the final result.
"A tiger general." Sun Yuan admired in his heart, put the knife back into the sheath, and without talking nonsense, he pulled out his handcuff, aimed at his body, and fired. () Change the gun, fire, and shoot two searing projectiles in one go.
The roar of pain was like a thunderbolt, covering the noise of the battlefield. In the billowing yellow dust, the weapon in the hand of the thief general fell to the ground, and he only used his right hand to cover his left arm tightly. The blood-red eyes stared fiercely from the front, so eye-catching, full of unwillingness and anger inside.
Sun Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, the trigger of the handcuff turned around the index finger of both hands, and he pinned it neatly to his belt. Then he pointed forward: "Whoever takes this person's head, he will be rewarded with a dog's head!" ”
Fu Shan was right back then: On the battlefield, no matter how high the martial arts are, what can they be. Killing, no matter what kind of martial arts, is not as direct and efficient as a pistol, and not as direct and efficient as a strong bow and crossbow.
"Take this person's head and reward a dog's head!" Everyone shouted and rushed forward.
The wounded enemy's face turned purple in the night, and he turned around and fled, and at the same time shouted: "Who are you? ”
"Sun Yuan, the chief soldier of Yangzhou Town, is also!"
Sun Yuan also pinched the horse's belly and rushed forward, and the corner of his eye was on the horse chopping knife that the man had landed just now. The knife was really sharp, and when it hit the ground, it stabbed directly into the dirt, and the long hilt trembled slightly in the air.
This knife should be good, Sun Yuan's heart moved, he grabbed it in his hand, and with a swing of it forward, he easily cut a thief into two pieces.
"It turns out that the Ningxiang Army, the first iron army in the world, is good, but it is not unjust to lose in the hands of Sun Taichu." As he spoke, the man's war horse ran faster, and his back looked a little hasty.
"Oops, it's him ......" Sun Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and then his face changed greatly.
"Who is he?" Beside him, Yu Xiang asked.
"This person is Liu Chao, and he let him escape!" Sun Yuan's face was calm, and he couldn't help but want to slap himself. Isn't this person crippled, Liu Chao's right leg is lame. Moreover, this person's martial arts are as strong as Gaoqiang, and the armor on his body is also extremely sophisticated...... I should have thought of it a long time ago
。
If you kill him today, the battle will be over.
If he is allowed to escape, won't it add a lot of variables to the situation of the war?
Sun Yuan: "Catch up and kill Liu Chao!" ”
"Kill Liu Chao, kill Liu Chao!"
Everyone shouted at the same time.
……
The sky gradually opened, and then it was dyed the color of rape flowers by the dust that flew up, and the sky in the sun looked like a patient with liver disease.
Pursuit, pursuit, non-stop pursuit.
The Ningxiang cavalry kept changing horses, biting the tail of the thief army and constantly rushing forward, as long as they encountered the thieves who were left behind, they would swing out with a knife.
At the end of the kill, the saber was full of gaps, and the hands were so weak that they were unconscious.
This kind of massacre without any resistance is not interesting in the end, the Ningxiang army is still very proud in their bones, and the stronger the enemy, the more energetic he is. But the enemy in front of him didn't even have a decent weapon, and he couldn't lift his spirits.
Later, they did not bother to do anything, and when they saw the enemy, they rode forward, and the thieves fell on their knees and begged for mercy.
Sun Yuan didn't bother to accept the prisoners, and Ma Shiying was responsible for this matter. Lu Fengjun is unbearable, and it is just used to do this kind of thing.
When the sun rose in the middle of the sky, a narrow light appeared in front of me, and when I looked closely, it was a river with a wide riverbed. The river had almost dried up, and the water had barely reached a person's calf.
If you don't guess wrong, this must be Suishui.
Sun Yuan was taken aback in his heart, he didn't expect the troops to kill more than thirty miles in six hours. If it were replaced by other armies, it would have run away long ago.
Soon, good news came from Tang Wenxing's side, and Liu Chao's old camp was found ten miles to the north, which had been successfully taken by him.
In other words, this battle has ended now. Liu Chaojun has been completely defeated, but unfortunately Liu thief has escaped
。 On the battlefield of fifty miles, tens of thousands of people were running around, and it was impossible to find him.
Even ahead, there were more than 3,000 thieves fleeing frantically. When they reached the river, they saw that the water was shallow, and all the people threw themselves into the water, and they made a stream of water muddy.
Fortunately, there were several months of drought, and the amount of water in the water was only one-tenth of the usual. Otherwise, I am afraid that all these thousands of thieves will drown here today.
Sun Yuan: "Pass the order, the battle is over!" ”
"General, do you need to clean up the battlefield?" A herald asked.
Sun Yuan smiled bitterly, looked at the trembling captives kneeling on the side of the road, and muttered, "Is this battlefield worth cleaning?" ”
The captives were all yellow-skinned and ragged, no different from Hanako.
He jumped off his horse, a cloud of dust rose from his body, and then he choked and coughed violently, feeling like his teeth were full of sand.
All the cavalry dismounted at the same time, took off their helmets, and did not care that the water had been stirred into a pool of yellow soup by the thieves, and lay on the ground and drank heavily.
Sun Yuan wanted to stop this unhygienic behavior, but after thinking about it, it was okay. From yesterday to now, everyone has not drunk water seriously. After a night of fierce fighting, sweat came out and out, and they were almost dehydrated.
He relaxed, took off his shoes, and put his feet in the water, feeling the cool and refreshing, and it just felt so comfortable.
His hand gently stroked the horse chopping knife, and Sun Yuan was a little surprised. The knife looked swarthy and unremarkable, but the edge was extremely sharp and hard, with a cotton wool-like pattern on it. Looking at the blade again, it is made of a different material. Come to think of it, Liu Chao's horse chopping knife is made of steel-clad method.
This kind of knife casting method is not common because of the complicated process, and it is generally only used on the sword. In order to save costs, the standard swords of the Ming Dynasty would not do this.
This knife fell into Sun Yuan's hand, and he didn't know how many thieves he had killed before, but now he didn't leave any traces on the edge of the knife. Looking at its quality, it is not as good as the Yanling knife that Lu Gong gave him.
He stood up, grasped the handle with both hands, and waved it, feeling incredibly comfortable. This is probably the most valuable trophy of this battle!
