Chapter 11: The Dust Settles

The shouting and killing of the Xiongnu army gradually decreased, and what was even more shocking on the battlefield was the drumming of the Taiping army.

The 20,000 arrows were released after ten waves of arrow rain, and the Hun cavalry went forward to open the way one after another, and the corpses of the troops were scattered all over the field.

Ma Teng Han then a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses fled to the two wings of the Taiping army, only less than 20,000 remained, most of the remaining soldiers and horses were killed by the Hun cavalry when the battlefield was shocked, and some were killed by the enemy, more than 30,000 men and horses were killed, but only in exchange for more than 6,000 casualties of the Huns.

And when the Hun cavalry took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the Taiping army, after entering the 100-meter range of the bow and crossbow, ten waves of arrow rain killed nearly 10,000 cavalry of the opposing side.

Ma Teng and Han Sui, the two Liangzhou warlords and their generals, were dumbfounded and sweated coldly.

They are proud of the world-famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but this cavalry is simply vulnerable in front of Guo Jia's 10,000 bow and crossbow army.

I can't help but ask in my heart: If Guo Jia deals with them, what will happen to them?

Of the 20,000 cavalry of the Huns, there are now less than 8,000 left, and the vanguard troops opened the way with corpses, only 30 meters away from the Taiping army, and the archers of the Taiping army have also withdrawn, and there is no next round of shooting.

Get out of the way, the bald-headed and evil-looking Dian Wei took the lead, and rode his horse to the back of the horse gun, behind him, five thousand heavily armored guards held halberds, waiting for him.

The Hun cavalry has been bleeding and can not give up the previous efforts, Hu Chuquan led the remaining cavalry, not afraid of the obstacle of the horse gun in front, continue to advance, as long as some more cost to pass the horse gun, you can give full play to the advantage of the cavalry, and kill the enemy to your heart's content.

The army in front of Guo Jia turned into a retreating crossbowman, and he couldn't help but sneer when he got up to observe the situation on the battlefield.

The Huns are really interesting, they rush his Chinese army with a single brain, and they don't divide their troops into two wings at all.

Since the other party is killing himself, Guo Jia doesn't mind sprinkling salt on their wounds again.

The order went down, and the archers on both wings slowly advanced, forming an encirclement of the Huns. Then send a message to Ma Teng Han Sui, and let them lead the remnants to take the rear of the enemy army. ”

The archers on both wings began to advance slowly, shooting a rain of arrows from the side to hit the Xiongnu army, and after Ma Tenghan got Guo Jia's order, he led the remnants to kill a horse pistol, and the Xiliang iron cavalry under his command was only three or four thousand each, and these were enough.

The Xiongnu army violently attacked the Taiping army with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, Guo Jia shot nearly 10,000 horses with crossbows, the Chinese army had Dian Wei Huwei to block the opponent, and there were archers on both wings plus Ma Teng Han then fan-shaped flanking posture.

The horse screamed and fell to the ground on the repulsor, opening a gap and splattering dust and blood.

Puff ...... One after another, the war horses fell down and knocked away the horse rejecting gun, and fell beside him, Dian Wei, who was straddling the mount, was unmoved, the double halberd in his hand did not move at all, and his eyes were only locked on one person.

Hurrah Kitchen Spring!

In front of the Hun army swept in, led by the few remaining cavalry, their heads seemed to rain arrows, covering the clouds, from the side with bows and arrows to kill the Hun soldiers of the archers continue to release arrows, further attack the enemy.

Snapping the horse and rushing away, Dian Wei looked majestic, although his calm expression at the moment made him look evil.

The Hun cavalry who slashed at Dian Wei with their teeth and claws and slashed at Dian Wei was not taken seriously by Dian Wei at all.

Passing by countless Hun cavalry, Dian Wei stared at Hu Chuquan in the cavalry ranks, and when the other cavalry slashed at him, they either swung their halberds with one hand and took the head directly, or they quickly dodged the attack and then killed with a backhand.

Dian Wei noticed Hu Chuquan, because in the cavalry, Hu Chuquan had been giving orders, constantly encouraging the cavalry behind him to go forward and follow, Dian Wei thought that he must be the general of the Hun cavalry.

Hu Chuquan noticed that Dian Wei was because Dian Wei was majestic and powerful, and no one could stop him all the way, and he was killed by Dian Wei's blow.

The two of them were already locked on to each other less than thirty meters apart, Hu Chuquan had a strong fighting spirit, clenched the scimitar in his hand, and slapped his horse to meet him.

The war horses intersected, Hu Chuquan made the first attack, and the scimitar slashed through the half moon and directly took the head of Dian Wei Xiang, bringing a sound of breaking the air.

Raising a short halberd, Dian Wei was calm.

The dinging weapon collided, and the sound was crisp.

Passing by, the first confrontation was a temptation, the two of them looked at each other, turned their horses' heads, and continued to fight!

This is not a front-line fighter, there is no distance to sprint, the two are only five steps apart, and the next step is to immediately melee combat.

Dian Wei was an opponent that could not be taken lightly from the outside, Hu Chuquan did not dare to be careless and underestimate the enemy, but he still miscalculated the comparison of the strength of the two sides.

The two fought again, and Dian Wei waved his halberds with both hands, intertwining from the top to the bottom of the air to put Hu Chuquan to death.

When Hu Chuquan gritted his teeth, he looked at the twin halberds holding a scimitar against Dian Wei.

Dian Wei snorted coldly, and the double halberd twisted the opponent's scimitar, and slowly pressed down.

Hu Chuquan was shocked, holding the knife in both hands and using all his strength, he couldn't force Dian Wei back, and his heart was shattered when he saw that the blades of the double halberd were about to cross his shoulders.

At this time, both sides are exerting their strength, Dian Wei has the upper hand, Hu Chuquan can't retreat if he wants to, if he is not fast enough, it is still a dead end.

His heart was so shocked that he was overturned, and Hu Chuquan thought that he was not weaker than others, but the bald general in front of him, how much better than him?

Determined to escape, Hu Chuquan wanted to take a risk, and wanted to shrink his head and slap the horse away, but when he was about to carry out this action, Dian Wei did not give him a chance.

Suddenly, Dian Wei's double halberd not only pressed the opponent's scimitar to his chest, but also put the blade of the double halberd on Hu Chuquan's shoulder.

The hands are crossed and closed, the halberds are staggered, and a human head flies up, slashing and falling.

Hu Chuquan's headless corpse fell off the horse, Dian Wei turned the horse's head and went to kill other enemies, as for the head that fell on the battlefield, he didn't look at it.

When the Hun cavalry rushed to the front of the Taiping army, the front tiger guards threw all the halberds in their hands.

Dian Wei has the ability to throw a halberd to kill the enemy, and the trained tiger guard can also learn to score three points, which is like a javelin to kill the enemy The lethality of the cavalry is limited, but fortunately, the Hun cavalry does not have heavy armor, and the Hun cavalry thrown by the halberd, even if it does not die, will be knocked off the horse by the impact force.

The Huwei once again defeated the Hun cavalry in a short distance, and the archers on both wings intercepted it layer by layer, so that the few remaining Hun cavalry were almost completely annihilated, and the next battlefield was a confrontation between foot soldiers.

The heavily armored Tiger Guards had slightly less mobile ability, but they drew their swords, advanced step by step, and fought with the Huns in close combat, like wolves and tigers, unless the enemy deliberately attacked the vital parts, it was difficult for the heavily armored Tiger Guards to bargain.

Dressed in heavy black armor, the tiger guard was like a strong shield with thorns, slowly forcing the enemy army back, leaving no armor in its pass.

Guo Jia stood on the chariot and looked at the entire battlefield, the drums of the Taiping army were unabated, the Chinese army forced the Hun infantry to retreat under the opening of the Huwei, the archers on both wings shot the enemy from the side, and the remnants of Ma Teng Han Sui also hit the rear of the Xiongnu army from both sides.

The scales of victory have tilted in favor of the Taiping Army.

Suddenly, a trumpet sound came from the rear of the Xiongnu army, and the remnants of the Xiongnu army, who had been killed and lost their armor, suddenly retreated.

"Lord, the Huns have retreated, can we chase them?"

Zhang Liaoce came to ask for instructions.

Guo Jia said lightly: "Let the soldiers maintain their formation, continue to move forward, and don't chase after the poor, we are just marching normally." ”

Calculating the calculation, Gan Ning led Yinling Fei to ride to Wuguan, and at the same time brought an order to Yan Yan.

If Yan Yan had not delayed the military order, he would have led 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command on the way to Tongguan to cut off the retreat of the Huns.

Coming with humility and hatred, the whole army poured out, even if he ordered the withdrawal of the army, it would be difficult to preserve his strength at this time.

The 20,000 cavalry was almost completely annihilated, and the 30,000 foot soldiers were killed and wounded.

Ma Teng and the remnants of Han Sui's infantry were engaged in the battle to encircle and suppress the Xiongnu infantry, and they led their remaining thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry to attack the rear of the Xiongnu.

To go to humility is to take revenge, and Ma Teng Han Sui is also to avenge the dead soldiers, and there is no doubt about their determination to kill the Huns.

The Taiping army is in a neat formation, the Chinese army tiger guard, the archers on both wings also withdrew back and gathered on the two wings, the crossbowmen retreated after completing the task of defeating the cavalry, only Xu Chu led the sword and shield soldiers under his command to attack the Huns from the right flank and lost nearly 3,000 soldiers, which is understandable, the archers are long-range troops, Xu Chu with swords and shields to fight in close combat, Xu Chu's style of fighting to the death, almost half of the Hun foot soldiers died in the hands of the soldiers led by Xu Chu.

originally planned to leave Zhang Liao to clean up the battlefield, but Guo Jia really didn't expect Ma Teng and Han Sui to surprise him.

In front of the Taiping army, Ma Teng Han then led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry back, gathered the Shuai people in front of the battle, and pushed out the Huns with unkempt hair and bloodstains.

"Envoy, this is King Zuoxian, go to humility."

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and introduced the captive to Guo Jia.

He has no interest in going to be humble, and Guo Jia doesn't look at Zuo Xianwang's expression at the moment, it doesn't matter.

Drawing out his sword, Guo Jia handed it to Han Sui and said, "Doesn't the general want to slash the enemy?" ”

Han Sui looked at the saber handed by Guo Jia in a daze, the cold light was shining, and the murderous aura was overwhelming.

Han Sui did have a grudge with King Zuoxian, and this feud was formed today.

It was Han Sui's idea to bring King Zuoxian's prisoner back to Guo Jia for disposal, because it was a rescue soldier invited by the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Han Sui did not dare to kill him.

"Well, let's do it." Han Sui took a step back and humbly complied.

Guo Jia disagreed, turned his head to look at Ma Teng's side, and saw that Ma Teng also seemed to be dodging, so he set his eyes on the face of the general of the Liangzhou warlord.

"He is the leader of the Huns, how many of your fellow villagers and brothers have the Huns killed? How many of your colleagues have you killed? If you think you can let him go, I'm sorry, I don't agree, I want to avenge the dead soldiers of the Taiping Army, you don't dare to do it, I'll come! ”

After that, Guo Jia was about to swing his sword, but Ma Chao took the lead.

The tiger's head Zhan golden spear pierced from the back, penetrated through the chest, and then pulled back, Ma Chao always gritted his teeth and glared.
