Chapter Twenty-Three: Looking Back at the Sea of Blood
Taking advantage of Yeluruan's U-turn, He Ping hurriedly urged the remaining five Tang cavalry to run desperately towards the Tang army's position along the crescent-shaped trajectory bordering the grass and sand.
This trail is a prescribed safety line, and if you follow this line, you will not step into the bunker.
It was only when he was beaten away by Yelu Ruan with a stick just now that he suddenly came to his senses.
He recognized this product as Yelu Ruan, the third emperor in the history of the original Great Liao.
Now He Ping no longer has the courage to go back and continue to fight the second round, and escaping is the most correct choice.
Just kidding, Yelu Ruan is one of the top ten heroes of the Khitan, according to the law of power level in this world, even if He Ping is upgraded to the fourth level of qi refining, he may not be able to fight, and now he is only refining qi at the second level, and looking for death is not such a game.
This Yelu Ruan is the eldest grandson of Yelu Abaoji, the founding ancestor of the Liao State, and his father is Yelu Bei, the eldest son of Yelu Abaoji, and the former crown prince.
After the death of Taizu Abaoji, Yelubei failed in the struggle for the throne with his younger brother Yelu Deguang and was forced to "cede the country". In order to avoid persecution, coupled with the fact that Yelubei has been quite respectful of the Han culture in the Central Plains since he was a child, and has a high Han cultural accomplishment, he was invited by Li Siyuan, the Later Tang Dynasty, to abandon his wife and children, and only took a concubine to "cross the sea to the country" to live in the eastern capital (now Luoyang) for a long time.
This made Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang a little headache, Yelu Bei was still alive in Tang State, and he still had two adult sons in Liao State. God knows when the backyard will catch fire when he's going to go to war.
Therefore, this time, Yelu Deguang drove the expedition in person, and simply brought out Yelu Ruan, the eldest son of Yelu Bei, but he was not at ease to let him take charge of the army, so he casually assigned him hundreds of cavalry as escorts and pulled him down.
Under normal circumstances, a royal descendant like Yelu Ruan would have to have four or five thousand cavalry by his side, where would He Ping have thought that this guy would dare to come out with more than two hundred people.
Escape!
Yelu Ruan behind him was quickly pulled away by a distance of more than two hundred meters, and at this time, more than a hundred Khitan cavalrymen who had just jumped over the earthen wall were piled up in the open space behind the earthen wall, huddled together because of the worry of the sand pit trap. The foot soldiers of the Tang Army's B squad also got up from the ground one after another, took the spears in their hands and began to rush towards the Khitan cavalry who had stopped.
He Ping tightly urged the war horse to volley in the air, gently lifted the reins, and led the horse to jump over the low wall, and with the remaining five cavalry behind him, he quickly overtook the Tang army foot soldiers running on the ground, and plunged into the chaotic Khitan cavalry pile in front.
"Kill!"
A thunderous roar shouted from He Daxian's throat, overpowering the noisy crowd shouts, giving the Tang Army spearmen on the ground incomparable courage.
"Kill! Kill! As soon as the Tang soldiers saw that the commander had returned, everyone immediately fought bravely, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they held long spears together in a chaotic manner, and also plunged into the Khitan cavalry.
Now it must be chaotic, and it must be looking for opportunities in the chaos, otherwise Yelu Ruan behind him will catch up and fight one-on-one again, He Daxian really doesn't have the courage.
The Khitan cavalry rode horses, and the war horses as creatures had a certain instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
He Ping roared violently, and rushed straight and straight without slowing down, plus countless sharp spears behind him also followed, not to mention whether these Khitan cavalry would panic, these war horses had already begun to panic.
War horses are social animals, and they are very obedient when they run in groups, and they are not so easily intimidated by obstacles and dangers in front of them. But if you stop, it will be difficult to say when you are out of breath, not to mention the noisy shouting and killing sound around you, and the whole strange environment is ambushed on all sides.
Therefore, as soon as the war horses ridden by these Khitans felt that a great disaster was coming, they immediately instinctively began to move on their own to avoid danger.
Once a horse is frightened, it is not something that the cavalry can easily control.
The Khitan cavalry, which was already in chaos, immediately exploded with He Ping's crazy breakthrough.
The first Khitan cavalryman who was brought a sacrificial knife didn't even see He Daxian's appearance clearly, because the war horse under his crotch turned his head and ran, so that he happened to have his back to He Ping, and was hurriedly trying to control the horse. He Ping's right arm was long, and the Dark Moon Knife in his hand slashed into the back of the Khitan cavalry's neck like a lightning speed, and quietly pulled out of the Adam's apple in front of him, instantly cutting off the person's neck.
Immediately after He Ping's wrist twisted, the knife edge was crooked, and he pushed away the saber cut by another Khitan cavalryman, and then followed his horse speed, and the sharp tip of the knife clicked into the eye socket of the Khitan soldier, stirring it hard, poking the Khitan soldier's head and bones and flesh, exploding, and a red and white blood mist flew behind He Ping.
The right hand killed two people in a row, and He Daxian's left hand was not idle, he didn't even look at it, and he slapped it on the shoulder of a Khitan cavalryman on the left without delay, and slapped half of the unlucky guy's body on the spot. At the same time, with his knees slightly topped, he controlled his war horse and rushed straight out from the gap between the two enemy war horses, and the Dark Moon Knife in his hand had already slashed at the fourth Khitan cavalry like lightning.
For a moment, the earth rolled, the wind and clouds changed color, the air was filled with the smell of muddy sweat and blood, and the sky, which had been yellowed by flying dust, was filled with all kinds of strange bright reds.
The six newly joined Tang cavalry formed a charging arrow, and with the group of spearmen behind, they instantly penetrated the frightened Khitan cavalry group that had begun to loosen. He Ping waved his sword and shield along the way, killing seven people in a row, unstoppable, and his entire body and the war horse under his crotch were splashed red with all kinds of blood from top to bottom for the third time.
Through the formation, the vision in front of him suddenly opened up, and the noisy fighting sound quickly disappeared behind him.
Only three horsemen followed behind He Ping, and the two Tuyuhun cavalrymen had been knocked off their horses just now, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
Looking up, I saw Captain Huang Yong in front of me holding an iron rod, far away from the large group of Tang army foot soldiers rushing behind him, and he was rushing towards this side with five cavalry soldiers.
These were the only five horses in Ding Chen's camp, and they had always existed as a benefit to the chief, ridden by Huang Yong and his five personal soldiers.
Very good, now we can join Huang Yong to deal with Na Yelu Ruan.
The group of Khitan cavalry behind He Ping has been pierced from the middle, divided into two large groups on the left and right, and a large group of Tang spearmen have poured into the gap in the middle, and countless sharp spears have stabbed towards the Khitan cavalry on both sides.
Just as He Ping turned the horse's head in a circle, there were several loud shouts behind him, and then more shouts with Tang Jun accents sounded.
When I looked back, I saw Yelu Ruan, who was chasing all the way from behind, also rushed into the Tang Army's foot soldiers at this time.
I saw that the bloody mixed element lance flew up and down, stirring up a large area of bloody rain like a windmill, and the seven or eight Tang soldiers who stood in his way were broken into seventeen or eighteen pieces in an instant, and the stumps and broken bodies of the front and back flew everywhere, and the bright red blood mist continued to explode one after another on the side and rear of Yelu Ruan's war horse.
When some of the Khitan cavalry saw the commander coming, they also roared and reinvigorated, and three of them had even successfully controlled their horses, pulled up their speed, and were about to catch up with Yelu Ruan.
He Ping did not turn around on the spot, but rushed diagonally towards another group of Khitan cavalry who were in chaos.
He hoped that Yeruan would change direction and chase after him, so that he would have a chance to get Yeruan's horse to step into the bunker trap that no one had yet trodden.
It's not a big chance, but it's still an opportunity.
And He Daxian also saw the figures of Shan Wu and Wang Dazhui at this time. Looking at each other from the air, Shan Wu also understood that his patriarch was so powerful, just to escape for his life.
Shan Wu did not hesitate to rush closer, and at the same time raised his bow and began to aim at Yelu Ruan.
And Captain Huang Yong's speed is also very fast, and he is about to be killed!
