Gongsun Zhan looked at the heavily armored cavalry that Nanlin had made, his steel teeth were tight, and he forced the word retreat out of between his teeth.

Although he was unwilling, he knew in his heart that he had been exhausted again and again, and then again, and then again, and exhausted, although the cavalry under his command were all elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, but they were not iron-clad.

As long as they are people, they will be tired, and after the appearance of the heavy cavalry, they have fallen to the lowest point in terms of morale and combat effectiveness.

As soon as the heavy cavalry came out, they had lost the confidence to continue to advance, lost the possibility of victory, and if they did not retreat at this time, they would even all be planted in the hands of the difficult forest.

Gongsun Zhan didn't think that Nanlin had other hole cards, but as soon as the heavy armored cavalry came out, his side was already out of line.

If he really stumbled, he really couldn't bear the losses of his men.

Leaving Qingshan is not worried about no firewood, but it is a defeat, and when the rebel army comes up, it will be difficult to fight sooner or later, and they will flee with their tails between their legs like dogs.

It is said that the defeat is like a mountain, but after Gongsun Chan issued the retreat order, there was no confusion in the team, because Gongsun Chan's subordinates knew that under the command of General Gongsun, it would always be Gongsun who was broken.

It is not terrible for those Wuhuan soldiers to attack like crazy, they are cavalry, and Wuhuan soldiers are infantry, it is quite difficult to attack their vital points, and under normal circumstances, the casualties will reach three for one or higher.

Once they get out of the stalemate of the war group, it will be the sea is wide and the fish can leap, and the sky is high and the birds will fly.

Countless voices of gold and iron resonating kept sounding, whether it was the Wuhuan soldiers or Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, they had already fought hard.

The soldiers on the Wuhuan side of the forest were desperately killing the enemy, wanting to kill more retreating Han soldiers to get battle merits and bounties, while the soldiers on Gongsun Zhan's side were trying to escape for their lives, and they all tried their best.

In the melee, the blood is soaring, the stumps and broken arms are flying everywhere, and inadvertently, you will see the flesh and blood flying sideways, and see the fresh lives constantly being taken away by death.

Gongsun Zhan and Yan Gang Gongsun Yue struggled to stop those heavy armored cavalry, constantly smashing the attacks of the ironclad cavalry again and again......

Dividing line ――――――――――――――

On a scorching summer night, although it is located near Jinxi, it is also blowing a warm breeze, which makes the tired soldiers feel especially tormented.

The sky was gray, and there was no moonlight to be seen, and only a bonfire could be lit to illuminate the surroundings, and the bonfire was filled with fragrant horse meat, and the many soldiers were not interested in it.

Horse meat was definitely a rarity in the late Han Dynasty, and it was even more difficult for most families to get some meat than to climb to the sky.

At this time, although the horse meat on the bonfire was full of meat, there were not many soldiers who reached out to eat horse meat.

These horse meat is nothing else, it is the meat of their war horses, in their hearts, people are not animals, and after having a lot of feelings with war horses, let them let go of the belly and chew the partners who fight together, there will be an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Some of the soldiers gave up eating horse meat, and found hard dry food in the bags of dry food they were carrying behind them, and began to chew on them as if they were chewing wax.

The veterans of the Han army looked at the actions of the young soldiers around them, and their faces showed a playful mockery.

Veterans of a hundred battles know that no matter what time it is, they must not have such a feeling, even if the war horse in front of them is the war horse under their crotch, they will not hesitate to eat it.

It's a time of war, and if you don't eat some meat to quickly replenish the rapidly losing strength in your body, you're likely to become a cold corpse in the rest of the battle.

Compared with the tasteless dry food, the fragrant horse meat has to be this kind of fragrant horse meat, the fragrant horse meat is far more delicious than the dry dry food, and it is easier to eat, only these recruits who have less experience of war will have the kind of dry food that would rather eat dry food than eat partners who have fought.

The battlefield is merciless, the battle is also merciless, either you die or I die, there is no mercy at all, even if they don't eat these horse meats, they will also be eaten by others.

In the late Han Dynasty, when food was extremely scarce, people would not easily waste anything that could fill their stomachs.

Looking at the soldiers with low morale, Gongsun Zhan's heart was even more depressed.

Afraid of something, he actually encountered reinforcements from the Wuhuan people at the most critical moment.

If the reinforcements of the Wuhuan people were even a quarter of an hour late, he would be able to cut Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun off their horses.

However, reinforcements from the Wuhuan people appeared as if they had fallen from the sky.

If in other time periods, even if there were heavy cavalry among the Wuhuan people, Gongsun Chan would definitely give the order to continue the charge.

However, in such a ghost weather, the physical consumption of the soldiers has reached a limit, and if they insist on charging forward, more than two-thirds of the more than 3,000 cavalry under his command will stay on this land forever.

With the help of the bright light of the bonfire, Gongsun Zhan looked at the white horse beside him with a little sourness.

This war horse that has followed Gongsun Chan for nearly ten years is covered in blood, although most of the blood stains are Wuhuan bloodstains, but Gongsun Chan is also clear that his white horse has also suffered a lot of injuries, and there are at least four or five wounds on his body.

This time, he did not kill Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, and was defeated by the enemy's reinforcements, a result that Gongsun Chan found difficult to accept.

However, defeat is defeat, and the most important thing to consider now is whether they can retreat from this place, and the nearly two thousand sons under him can no longer be lost.

Gongsun Zhan's face of his son Gongsun Xu appeared in his mind, and his heart suddenly became hot.

Gongsun Zhan remembers very clearly, his son said before that although the Han cavalry is powerful, Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun should not be underestimated.

This side is almost all mountainous, and occasionally there are gentle places, Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun will arrange a formation to restrain the speed of the cavalry, and if they want to eliminate Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's large army, it will definitely not be a matter of overnight.

If the enemy still has reinforcements, it will definitely put the troops in a dangerous situation.

Gongsun Chan felt that he was still a little anxious.

But what! His record is quite strong, if it weren't for the reinforcements sent by Nanlou at the end, Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun would have been his prisoners now.

At this time, what Gongsun Chan thought about the most was whether there could be a problem on his son's side of Gongsun Xu.

You must know that most of the cavalry on the Karasuma Country side is cavalry, and what appears here is only a mixed force of cavalry and infantry, and Gongsun Chan can think that a large number of Karasuma cavalry should appear behind him.

If Gongsun Xu can't protect his back road, then most of the soldiers who followed him to chase Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun this time will stay on Liaodong's side forever.

Thinking of Gongsun Xu's indifferent smile, Gongsun Chan always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he firmly believed that his son could stick to his back path......
