Chapter 465: A Narrow Encounter

In May of the second year of Taixing, on the grassland north of Danhan Mountain, the main forces of the Hu and Han sides met in a narrow way, which was a battle with no chance to take advantage of it, and either side must do its best to defeat the other.

Tuoba Yulu divided the entire army into three, of which the central and left armies concentrated the two Xianbei elites of Tuoba and Murong, and he needed to break through the Liaodong Army front on the left flank or center as soon as possible.

As for the right flank of the army, he handed it over to Tuoba Hong, and the 30,000 Mo Nan Zhuhu coalition army was responsible for defending the breakthrough of the left flank of the Liaodong Army.

As the horns sounded one after another, the Xianbei people gradually set up their positions.

At the same time, Wei Shuo personally led Chen An, Duan Wenyang, and Ji Tang, a total of 50,000 iron cavalry, to the battlefield. The Liaodong Army is also divided into three columns on the left, the middle and the right, the army is clearly clothed and armored, the flag is fluttering, the momentum is like a majesty, and the passionate war drums suddenly resounded throughout the grassland on the dam.

Wei Shuo observed for a while, looked around at the generals and said with a smile: "It seems that the Xianbei people plan to focus on attacking our central army and the right flank, and Huhou and Wenyang will depend on your performance next, be sure to stop the enemy army and buy time for the left wing Ji Yu." ”

Duan Wenyang sneered disdainfully: "Hmph! How could Murong Xianbei, a defeated general, break through our army's defense line? ”

"Pass my general order: Duan Wenyang and Ji Tang each led the four-compartment cavalry to attack from both flanks, and Chen An and I sat in the Chinese army."

"Order Ji Yu, let him crush Hu Lu's right flank as soon as possible at all costs, and complete the important task of detouring to the enemy's rear from the flank."

"Beat the drums of war, and all the soldiers will follow me to kill." After roaring, Wei Shuo's war sword was raised, and he rushed out first, and in an instant, the entire field resounded with the earth-shattering shouts of the Liaodong Army.

Xianbei people looked at the Liaodong Iron who was overwhelmed, and listened to the shouting of killing like thunder in their ears, their eyes couldn't help showing a look of fear, and the muscles on their faces twitched involuntarily.

Tuoba Yulu's eyes were gloomy, and he raised his horsewhip and pointed at the Liaodong Iron Cavalry with a calm demeanor: "Everyone, defeat the Liaodong Army and enter the Central Plains, you can have whatever wealth and beauties want." ”

"At present, we have won a large victory over the Liaodong Army in terms of troops, and as long as we work together, we have the ability to defeat Liaodong."

"Warriors, for the glory of the Xianbei clan, kill!"

The Xianbei iron cavalry was divided into three units, roaring down under the leadership of Tuoba Yulu, Murong Hao, and Tuoba Hong, and the flat terrain of the grassland on the dam made the Hu people's war horses instantly sprint to the highest speed, and the Hu people's riding and archery skills were fully utilized at this moment.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, hundreds of thousands of cavalry on both sides of the enemy and us collided directly with each other like a rolling torrent. Suddenly, it was like a boulder thrown into the calm lake, and suddenly a thousand terrifying waves were splashed. The terrible screams and the solemn smell of blood centered on the battlefield, rippling like ripples in all directions.

Wei Shuo roared excitedly: "Sons, kill, kill!" The Great Heavenly Venerable is watching us from above the sky, and he will give us the strength and courage to kill all the Hulu to avenge the people of the Central Plains! ”

Fiercely cut off Hu Lu's head with a knife in his left hand like a tiger, followed by a stab in his right hand and directly pierced Hu Lu's throat, and more than a dozen Hu Lu died in the blink of an eye, killing the surrounding Hu Lu and fleeing in all directions.

Both sides fought bravely to be the first, and neither of them was far behind, and they quickly strangled together. Arrows like locusts flew everywhere in the sky, and if you weren't careful, you could hit some unlucky guy.

Tuoba Yulu stared at the blood-red eyes and roared wildly: "Let Murong Hao give me a heavy blow to the right flank of the Liaodong Army, and tell Tuoba Hong to hold the right flank front." ”

Ji Tang commanded the cavalry on the left flank to destroy the ancient decay and generally killed Tuoba Hong and retreated, without the power to fight back. Tuoba Hong organized several counterattacks in an attempt to contain the Liaodong Army's offensive, only to be killed by Ji Tang each time.

Hu Lu's right wing was originally composed of various units of the Mo Nan Zhu Hu coalition army, if it was a good fight, Hu Lu might exert great power by relying on the strength of the people. But now the situation is difficult, 30,000 Hulu are suppressed by 12,000 Liaodong iron cavalry. As casualties mounted, the right flank began to form an avalanche.

Seeing the hope of breaking through Hu Lu's right flank, Ji Tang suddenly launched a morale boost, and the offensive became more and more fierce. He took the lead in raising his sword and bravely entered the Hulu formation, killing flesh and blood.

At the same time, the Murong brothers, who received the order to attack Tuoba Yulu, each with 10,000 cavalry, were like two red-eyed tigers, regardless of casualties, taking turns to attack the right flank of the Liaodong Army.

And even if Duan Wenyang bravely faced the Murong Hao brothers who had fought hard, he could only hold on to his teeth.

The battle gradually fell into scorching, and more than 100,000 cavalry on both sides fought fiercely on the vast grassland of Bashang, and the sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky.

At the beginning, the Xianbei people tried to break through the middle army and the right flank of the Liaodong Army, but they were strongly blocked by the Liaodong Army, and the progress was very slow. On the contrary, the right wing, which was originally defensive, gradually became a little unable to resist under Ji Tang's continuous attack.

Tuoba Yulu, who was in command of the Chinese army, was very anxious when he saw this scene, and he yelled at the messenger who came to ask for help: "Go back and tell Tuoba Hong that even if he dies in battle, he has to give Ben Danyu to defend the right flank, and be sure to block the Liaodong Army from the front line." ”

At the same time, Tuoba Yulu ordered to increase the intensity of the frontal assault, trying to break through the Liaodong Army's central army before it broke through its own right flank.

And Wei Shuo obviously realized that Hu Lu was going to work hard, and he hurriedly yelled at Chen An: "Tiger Hou! Attack, speed up the attack! ”

Hearing this, Chen An's eyes were wide open and he desperately killed Hu Luzhongjun, with swords and spears in his hands, unstoppable, the spear in his left hand was like a dragon out of the sea, and the big knife in his right hand was as fast as lightning, and the whole person roared up, and the Xianbei people in front of him were killed by him one by one like grass mustard.

"Kill him! Kill him for me! ”

Tuoba Yulu pointed to the brave and invincible Chen An step by step, with a frightened look on his face, and commanded the Xianbei people around him to intercept the other party with all his might, and a Xianbei commander led dozens of people to surround Chen An.

Facing the tiger-eyed Hu Lu, Chen Anyi was not afraid to step forward, and then the spear in his left hand was raised, directly piercing the throat of a humble man, and the blood gushed out like a fountain, and the big man fell to the ground before he could let out a scream.

"Die!" Chen An roared angrily, and the big knife in his right hand slashed at a Hu Lu who tried to sneak up on him, directly splitting the unlucky guy in half. Taking advantage of the precious time that the two warriors had exchanged for death, the commander and the other Xianbei people immediately swarmed up, trying to rely on the numerical advantage to besiege Chen An.

As one of the fierce generals in Liaodong, when did Chen An fear group battles? And what he is best at is group combat, only to see his spear and broadsword protect the vital points of the whole body on the left and right, and prevent the enemy from getting close.

At the same time, Wei Shuo saw that Chen An was trapped in the enemy's line, and he was in a hurry, shouting again and again: "Kill, kill!" ”

Wei Shuo's taking the lead can certainly boost the morale of the generals in Liaodong, but he also puts himself in danger. This was the closest he had come to death since the crossing, and he was not as nervous as he was when he faced an assassination in Liaodong.

The battlefield is full of flying arrows and elusive swords, and if you are not careful, you may die in Huangquan. Fortunately, Wei Shuo has insisted on practicing martial arts for many years, coupled with his physical talent, if it weren't for his lack of fighting experience, his lethality may not be smaller than that of Chen An and others.

Lu Chang and Wen Qiao, who commanded the whole army in the rear, saw Wei Shuo charging in front and frequently faced dangers, and couldn't help but worry about his safety, so they let people spread the word to Wei Shuo to let him retreat to the rear to command.

Although he knew that this was the kindness of the two, Wei Shuo still couldn't help but be angry: "Who am I? I am the Great Sima of the Imperial Court! It's the commander of the Liaodong Army! How can I back down at this critical juncture? You will come forward with me and kill Tuoba Yulu. ”

In the face of the murderous Wei Shuo, no one dared to dissuade him, and suddenly a thousand elite guards under his personal command, along the bloody path of Chen An's killing, fought hard to kill the position of the Chinese army where Tuoba Yulu was located.

"Da Dan Yu's Liaodong Army is about to be killed here, you quickly retreat to the rear!"

"Withdraw what?! Whoever dares to retreat privately, Lao Tzu will destroy him! Pass my general order: the whole army is not allowed to take a step back, kill me! ”

Whether it is Tuoba Yulu or Wei Shuo, they know very well in their hearts that they must not retreat at this time, otherwise the entire army will collapse overnight, and now it depends on who can hold out until the last moment. (To be continued.) )
