Chapter 652: Fight to Fame
Two hundred ballistas roared in unison, the archers continuously pulled the crossbow machines, shot ten rounds of crossbow arrows in one breath, and 20,000 feathered arrows sang an ominous elegy, flew into the sky, and after a while, they turned their heads and rushed down like eagles and rabbits towards the chaotic Yuan army's position. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Jun, who was blinded by quicklime and burned his face, was so painful that the six gods were left without a master at this time, the giant shield was scattered, and in the face of the crossbow arrows that were as dense as flying locusts, they had no time to react at all. Sharp arrows pierced through their leather armor, pierced their sweat-soaked jackets, and pierced deep into their flesh, inflicting even more lethal wounds on them.
The screams came and went. Yuan Jun's 10,000-strong battle array was like a crop that had experienced a storm, and a large area fell in the blink of an eye.
Huang Zhong raised his sword and roared sharply: "Kill-"
Wei Yan, whose face was covered with blood, rushed out with an arrow step, and ran wildly, followed closely by four foot soldiers who had also become bloody people, clenching the weapons in their hands, raising their eyebrows, and looking vicious. Behind them, nearly a thousand foot soldiers descended from the mountain to the tigers, killing those Yuan soldiers who were lucky enough to rush through the lime array.
Directly in front of the large array, more than 500 foot soldiers no longer left any back hands, holding weapons high, in groups of five, slashing and killing.
The ballista shooter, who had already shot his bolts, followed, drew his ring knife, and rushed forward with a roar. Behind them, the gunners, who had already thrown all the quicklime canisters that had been prepared, followed.
The soldiers of the Yuan army in the back looked at the rain of arrows flying like dark clouds, their hair was numb, and their eyes were straight. They had already learned how powerful their opponent's arrow array was, but now they had found out. The opponent has not been able to exert himself at all times. Now, they wielded the most violent force, with a devastating force.
In the face of this force, the soldiers of the Yuan army collapsed, and they no longer dared to move forward, turned their heads, and fled.
The defeat was like a mountain.
Xu You looked at the loss of his armor. The subordinates who fled in embarrassment wanted to cry without tears. He raised his hand, but did not give an order for a long time. He knows. Even if all the guards were sent, they couldn't stop the fleeing soldiers, and no matter how strong these hundreds of guards were, they couldn't stop thousands of routs. Maybe it might provoke a revolt from the rout, and even he won't be able to escape.
Let's go, defeat is already defeated, this is the Yuan family's qi number, and it is also my fate. Providence is like this, and manpower is difficult to do. Xu You sighed and said helplessly: "Withdraw!" ”
When the guard battalion, which had long been frightened by the rout, heard this, it was relieved, and immediately turned its horse's head and hugged Xu You out of the battlefield.
The main general's battle flag moved. Not only did the attacking Yuan army collapse, but even the remaining 5,000-odd reserve troops also collapsed, and they fled with Xu You.
Xu Rong saw all this in the clairvoyance, and he finally showed a relaxed smile and waved his hand to Gongsun Du in the distance. Gongsun Du was overjoyed. Kicking the horse's belly violently, the war horse man stood up, his front hooves stepped on the air two steps, Gongsun Du stepped on the stirrup and straightened up, holding the spear high in his right hand, pointing straight to the sky. Roared: "Chase! Then he loosened the reins, and the horse spread its hooves and galloped south.
A thousand elite horsemen urged the war horse, followed closely, and with Gongsun Du as the front, it turned into an extremely sharp long sword, and rushed straight into the chaotic battlefield. The flying horses' hooves kicked up the billowing smoke and dust, and soared into the sky. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like a thunderclap, louder and louder, more and more urgent.
When the fleeing soldiers of the Yuan Army heard the dull sound of horses' hooves, they were frightened, and they scattered like headless flies, as far away from these killing gods as possible. Youzhou out of the fine cavalry, this is what every Yuan army soldier knows, in the face of the cavalry, if it is a formation to fight, maybe there is still the courage to resist, now they are in a mess, everyone only cares about fleeing, there is no power to fight back against the cavalry, all you can do is to stay away from these killing gods, don't be taken as a target by them. Gongsun Du led a thousand elite horsemen, like a tiger into a flock of sheep, everywhere he went, Yuan Jun did not resist at all, just hugged his head and ran away. He didn't entangle these routs either, stared at Xu Yu deadly, and chased them all the way.
From the beginning of the engagement, these thousand people did not participate in the battle, they have been recuperating, just waiting for this moment. Now, this moment has finally come, and every soldier of the Guards Battalion feels that his blood is burning, and he has inexhaustible strength. Wielding swords and spears, they knocked down the enemies they encountered one by one, rushed through the battle formation of Yuan's rout without hindrance, and pounced on Xu You, who was fleeing.
Xu You sensed danger from the shouts of the guards, he looked back, and saw a Biao Jing cavalry coming out of the chaotic rout, getting closer and closer to him, one holding a spear, one taking the lead, his burning gaze crossed the distance of hundreds of steps, and he could see that his heart was broken. He couldn't help but think of the time when Shimen Mountain was ambushed by Zhang Yan. If it wasn't for Wen Chou and Yan Liang to save him that time, he would have died a long time ago, and today, he is facing such danger again, but no one can save him like Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
"Run!" There was only one thought left in Xu You's mind, he swung his sword and whip, and whipped his horse violently, not even having time to look at the road, and galloped all the way.
There weren't many knights around him, only the twenty horsemen arranged for him by Yuan Shao. Although there are more than 30,000 people in the Guangling army, the number of cavalry is very small, and they belong to different generals. Twenty cavalry as a guard of honor may be quite majestic, in such a battlefield, especially in the face of Liu Xiu's subordinates who are dominated by cavalry, the opponent is still Xu Rong, a native of Youzhou, Xu You did not stop at all to compete with Xu Rong to have the courage to fight on horseback, there was only one thought in his mind: escape, the faster the escape, the better, the farther the better.
Xu You's escape completely crushed the morale of the Yuan army, and there was no longer a single Yuan soldier who dared to resist on the entire battlefield. Some are running away, others simply throwing away their weapons and falling to their knees in surrender. Sergeant Liu, who was preparing for a fierce battle, looked at all this in front of him and couldn't believe that victory came so quickly. After a few moments, they cheered.
"Xu Zhonglang is mighty!"
"Xu Zhonglang is mighty!" All the soldiers roared happily, and even the wounded who had been transferred to the ship and were ready to be transferred at any time could not suppress their excitement and exerted all their strength. Shout.
The cheers resounded in the sky, shaking the mountains.
……
"My lord, we have won." The herald turned over and dismounted, and before he could stand firmly, he said with joy.
"Won?" Lu Min was in ecstasy, and his voice trembled a little.
"Yes, we won. Xu Yu has fled. Lord Xu's personal guards were in pursuit, Yuan's army was ownerless, and nearly 10,000 people surrendered. Lord Xu is cleaning the battlefield and will be back soon to meet His Majesty. ”
"The sky has eyes!" Lu Min let out a long laugh, stroked his forehead and praised: "Xu Zilie is really not silent." What a blockbuster. The hussar general knows people with his eyes, and he knows people with his eyes. ”
When Li Cheng and the others heard this, they were also overjoyed and came over to congratulate them. Lu Min responded with a smile on his face, and immediately arranged for Li Cheng to return to the imperial camp to report the victory. Li Cheng turned over his horse and galloped away.
……
Xiao Tianzi's hand holding the chess piece suddenly froze in the air, and he didn't move for a long time. Empress Dowager Song glanced at him, and was about to speak, when Xiao Tianzi raised a finger in front of his mouth. "Shhhh
Empress Dowager Song listened attentively. Didn't hear anything. She looked at Xiao Tianzi and shook her head with a smile. "You're waiting, aren't you?"
"No, there is a voice." Xiao Tianzi's eyes lit up: "Listen, Queen Mother, there are cheers!" ”
Empress Dowager Song listened intently again, but still didn't hear it. But before she could ask any more questions, a rush of footsteps rushed to the front of the tent, and Cao Ang picked up the tent and shouted: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, great joy." "Won?" Xiao Tianzi Huo Di stood up. All of a sudden, the chessboard was overturned, and the chess pieces crackled everywhere. Xiao Tianzi didn't bother to look at it, grabbed Cao Ang's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "We won?" ”
"Won, won." Cao Ang nodded vigorously, his face flushed with excitement: "Your Majesty, a great victory, an unprecedented victory." Xu Zhonglang defeated Xu You, defeated Xu You. ”
"Quick, quick, where is the one who reported the victory?" Xiao Tianzi stepped to the door of the tent in two steps, and was just about to rush out, he stopped again, turned around, and rushed to the Empress Dowager Song in three steps and two steps, arched his hand, and before he could speak, tears suddenly burst out of his eyes. He wept, "Mother, we have won." ”
Empress Dowager Song looked at Xiao Tianzi's face that had lost weight sharply in the past two days, sighed, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten. She stood up, took Xiao Tianzi's hand, patted it gently, and smiled with tears: "Your Majesty, yes, you have won." Let's go together to tell all the soldiers the good news and welcome our heroes. ”
"Oh, Queen Mother, please." Xiao Tianzi wiped his tears with his sleeve, held the arm of the Empress Dowager Song, and went out of the account together. Li Cheng happened to rush to the imperial tent under the leadership of Zhou Yu, and as soon as he saw the Empress Dowager Song and Xiao Tianzi standing side by side, he immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Zhonglang General Xu Rong has defeated the rebel Xu Yu in Fanyang Pavilion on the orders of His Majesty!" The leader of the thieves, Xu You, is on the run and is in pursuit. ”
Xiao Tianzi looked at the Empress Dowager Song, and the Empress Dowager Song nodded encouragingly. Xiao Tianzi puffed up his chest, walked in front of Li Cheng, and said loudly: "When I heard this good news, I was very relieved. Spread the edict, inform the whole battalion of the good news, and when the meritorious soldiers return, I will reward the meritorious soldiers, and the whole battalion will feast. He raised his arm and swung his fist hard: "God bless the man!" ”
Cao Ang, Zhou Yu and the others couldn't suppress the joy in their hearts, raised their hands, and shouted in unison: "God bless the big man!" ”
The cheers soon spread throughout the camp, all the soldiers were excited, Xu Rong led 3,000 people to meet 30,000 people, not only won the battle, but also a big victory, this good news is too exciting. They came out of their tents, looked in the direction of the imperial tent, and shouted, "God bless the man!" "The roar was like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking, and the waves were raging, surging away.
……
At the head of the city of Pingyu, the faces of the generals were like the color of the earth, and they looked at each other. Although they had not yet received the news of Xu You's defeat, they saw the knights rushing into the imperial camp with the red flag of victory, and they heard the cheers in the imperial camp, and they could clearly hear the content of the cheers. They knew that Xu Yu had been defeated.
How could Xu Yu be defeated? Everyone couldn't believe their ears, they looked at each other, and they both saw a deep fear and doubt in each other's eyes.
Yuan Kui's face was as white as paper, his eyes were dull, he looked at the direction of Fanyang Pavilion in a daze, and slowly stood up. A gust of wind blew and stirred the corners of his clothes. The gust of wind was not strong, but Yuan Kui was shaken and staggered, he staggered two steps, suddenly raised his head, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight down......
