Huang Gai was seriously injured, and Yuan's offensive was frustrated again, and the guards carried Huang Gai and quickly withdrew from the battle. Pen ร fun ร Pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ info Huang Gai covered his stomach, his face was like gold paper, and he gasped: "Urgently report to the general, Huang Gai is incompetent, please change him immediately." โ
The guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the news to Sun Jian. When Sun Jian heard that Huang Gai was seriously injured, he suddenly felt that the sky had fallen halfway. Huang Gai is the most capable of fighting under him, if even Huang Gai fails to take the mountain pass, except for him to go in person, he can't find a more suitable candidate.
But he couldn't go, the front army had been broken, Liu Xian was attacking his middle army and the rear formation, and as soon as he left, the big formation was broken.
Sun Jian was in a dilemma, anxious. The life and death of the younger brother Sun Jing is uncertain, Huang Gai was seriously injured again, his left and right arms have been cut off, and now he is a waste, and Yuan Shu's army is on the other side of the mountain pass, close at hand, but it cannot be saved.
Sun Jian's hesitation further worsened the situation, the wolf-like cavalry was constantly cutting his rear formation, and the rear formation reported like a tight sound, but Sun Jian had no troops to adjust, although he still had five or six thousand people, but these people had broken their courage, and they were about to collapse when they formed a formation, and once they were mobilized, they could be scattered in a hurry at any time.
Sun Jian thumped his chest.
Liu Xiu paid attention to the changes in the battle situation, and seeing that Sun Jian's rear formation had been basically destroyed, he ordered Pang De and Jiang Wu to return to the battle, and at the same time ordered Duan Xuan and Guo Yan to start storming Sun Jian's left and right flanks. After receiving the order, Duan Xuan, who had long been unable to hold back, kicked his horse out of the battle, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted to Guo Yan, who started to gallop together: "Guo Duo, have a fight?" โ
Guo Yan is a horse thief. Nicknamed Guo Duo, he and Duan Xuan are old acquaintances, and there are a lot of competitions between each other, so he doesn't need to be invited by Duan Xuan, he also has to compare. He stepped on the stirrups, stood up on the horse's back, and raised the spear in his hand. shouted: "Destroy the blade! โ
The guards galloped wildly, shouting in unison: "Destroy the front!" Strike! A wild rush rolled up on the flat ground, hitting Sun Jian's right flank. Soon surpassed Duan Xuan's two horse bodies. Duan Xuan was furious, slammed the war horse with the hilt of his spear, and galloped wildly.
Four thousand cavalry once again smashed into Sun Jian's left and right flanks. They bent down, covered the door with only the small shield of their left arm, leveled the spears in their hands, and kicked and beat their horses wildly. The tall Xiliang war horse gasped, the bowl-sized horse's hooves were so anxious that it rained, the wet ground that was stepped on was shattered, and the mud crumbs flew up with the horse's hooves and flew in the air. Powerful muscles roll beneath the smooth fur, revealing an unparalleled beauty.
War horses are like the wind, and spears are like lightning. The sleepy and tired soldiers of the Yuan army lost their fighting spirit in the face of the rushing cavalry, and they watched the cavalry get closer and closer, but instinctively clenched the weapons in their hands.
โshรจ๏ผโ Duan Xuan shouted angrily, picked up the crossbow, and pulled the crossbow machine with the guard battalion closely behind him. There was a chaotic sound of crossbow strings, and dozens of crossbow arrows rushed out and rushed into the Yuan army's formation before the war horses. The location of their shรจ attack was very concentrated, and the three Yuan sergeants fell backwards with a muffled grunt, and the others hurriedly came over to fill the position. caused a stir.
Duan Xuan seized this opportunity, slapped his horse and arrived, the spear in his hand swung left and right, fiddling with the two spears, the war horse got in, the heavy horse's hooves kicked on the shield, and the two Yuan soldiers screamed miserably and were kicked to the ground. The spear in Duan Xuan's hand trembled, and he killed two people in an instant, and the horse entered the big formation.
The cavalry behind them rushed in and quickly widened the gap.
Yuan Jun first marched in a hurry for a night, and then confronted Yan Pu for a day and a night, most of the people have not had a good rest for two days and two nights, their bodies have long been exhausted to the extreme, and their morale has been exhausted. What's more, they also had no experience in dealing with cavalry, although they had set up spear formations, but they were not dense enough, the positions were not thick enough, and they did not have a large number of crossbowmen to help, and they fell behind before they could start.
Duan Xuan and Guo Yan easily entered the big formation, galloping on horseback, killing wantonly, Yuan Jun barely supported the kung fu of a meal, and finally collapsed. The soldiers put down their weapons, shouted and turned around and ran, no matter what direction, just flee from the slaughter of these cavalry.
Sun Jian's heart was like ashes, he reached out and pulled out the war knife on his waist, looking around blankly. He regretted it a little now, it was better to fight Liu Xiu to the death at that time, it was better than being slowly squeezed dry now. Now, he just wants to find Liu Xiu desperately, and he can't get close to Liu Xiu's body.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of war drums behind him, and then cheers poured over like waves. Sun Jian was taken aback, turned his head to look, but saw a scene that he didn't dare to imagine.
The battle flag of Yuan's army fluttered in the mountain pass.
After a moment of surprise, Sun Jian quickly came back to his senses, and he shouted excitedly: "Drumming! Drumming! Reinforcements arrived, reinforcements arrived. โ
The herald was inexplicable, standing there stupidly, Sun Jian saw it, stepped forward and snatched the drum from the drummer's hand, and struck it hard.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! The violent drums of war suddenly sounded, and the news of reinforcements breaking through the mountain pass and coming reinforcements reached the ears of every soldier. Yuan Jun was already desperate, but suddenly heard that the mountain pass had been opened and reinforcements had arrived, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted and counterattacked the knights who were abusing them.
The cavalry seemed to be a little unexpected, and the fierce offensive was suddenly stopped, and at this moment Liu Xiu gave the order to retreat, Duan Xuan and Guo Yan did not dare to slack off, and immediately led their cavalry out of the battlefield. Duan Xuan, who was in the middle of the killing, glanced at the Yuan Army's battle flag fluttering in the mountain pass, and scolded: "What is Huaxiong doing, he can't hold on to such a good terrain, and let Yuan Shu break through?" Damn, I lost Lao Tzu's Xing, look back and see how I clean him up. โ
The breakthrough of the mountain pass brought hope to the Chinese army of Yuan's army, which was about to collapse, although now only one-third of Sun Jian's 10,000 army remained, and the four formations on the left and right had been broken, and only three or four thousand people of the Chinese army were left to barely line up, but they were still very excited, the reinforcements arrived, and General Yuan personally came to rescue them, and they could finally get rid of Liu Xiu and the hateful cavalry.
Sun Jian is the happiest one, although he has been disabled by Liu Xiu, but as long as he is not dead, he will have a chance to make a comeback after all. He looked far away, but he was excited but felt a little surprised, it was not Yuan Shu who came, but his general Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi led a large army out of the valley, and when he saw the tragic situation of Sun Jian's big array in the valley, he was also taken aback, and without saying a word, he immediately commanded people to come forward to respond. Sun Jian was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly reminded Yuan Yi with the sound of drums that the most important thing at this moment was not to fight Liu Xiu, but to take him back into the valley.
It's a pity that Sun Jian's reminder is too late, Yuan Yi's army has been blocked in the mountains by Huaxiong for a long time, and one mind is to kill out of the mountain pass, meet with Sun Jian, fight for so long, die so many people, it is easy to open the passage, the excitement can be imagined, they rushed out, like a flood that burst the embankment and drained down, where can it be stopped. Yuan Yi was also a little messy on the chaotic battlefield, and he didn't see Sun Jian's reminder at all, and when he found out, his 20,000 troops had already rushed over a third of the way, and blocked the mountain pass tightly, and where could he retreat between the battles.
More than 20,000 people are not twenty people, and it will take a lot of time to pass the order from the front to the back, not to mention that in this situation, Yuan Yi understood what Sun Jian meant, but it was already too late.
Hua Xiong, who had retreated halfway up the mountain, sneered, waved his hand vigorously, and the soldiers roared in unison, pushing the prepared stones down the hillside. The boulder rumbled and rolled on the hillside, making a thunderous sound, rolling faster and faster through the slope, flying down in the air, and smashing on the heads of those Yuan soldiers who were passing through the mountain pass.
For a moment, the sky was dark, as if there had been an earthquake, and countless stones, large and small, fell from the sky, jumped and tumbled on the mountainside, and smashed down.
Yuan Jun crowded in the valley, looking at the yin shadow above his head getting bigger and bigger, frightened, they instinctively wanted to find a place to hide, but the mountain pass was narrow, crowded with people, and where could they find a place to hide in their eagerness, their tension only made the situation more chaotic, many people were tripped and fell to the ground, not killed by the stones rolling down the mountain, but were trampled to death by their own companions first.
The stones prepared by Hua Xiong were large enough, and in the continuous roar, in the screams of Yuan Jun, the gap in the mountain pass that had just been opened by Yuan Jun was blocked again, but this time, there was an extra layer of Yuan Jun's flesh and blood below.
Blood dripped and seeped into the crevices, mixed with the groans of the undead, and the mountain pass was a blur of flesh and blood, and it was unbearable to see.
Hua Xiong led the soldiers to kill again, re-occupied the mountain pass, and flew the battle flag high.
Yuan Yi was dumbfounded, Sun Jian's heart was like ashes, he knew the truth, this was not Yuan Yi who broke through the mountain pass at all, but Huaxiong released water and deliberately let Yuan Yi rush out to die.
In an instant, he was a little glad that it was not Yuan Shu who came to help, otherwise Liu Xiu would have made a lot of money this time.
Sun Jian's guess was not bad at all, Liu Xiu had already received the banner from Hua Xiong, and knew that it was not Yuan Shu who came to help, although he was a little regretful, but he gave a new order without mercy, and the unfinished cavalry attacked again.
The drums beat again, and this time, Liu Xiu let the Liangzhou Han Seventh Battalion attack in an all-round way, and more than 10,000 Jing cavalry pounced on Sun Jian and Yuan Yi's more than 10,000 panicked troops from three directions, striving to defeat Sun Jian's large array in the shortest possible time, and then began to pursue without suspense.
The killing began again.
Sun Jian was desperate, he knew that he had no more life, and this was where his life fell. But he can't die, he must do everything possible to rescue Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi is Yuan Shu's brother, if he dies here, Yuan Shu can't forgive him no matter what.
Sun Jian rushed to Yuan Yi's side with the guard battalion, Yuan Yi was trapped by the chaotic army, panicked, and saw Sun Jian squeezing over, so he breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and shouted loudly: "General Sun, hold on for a while." โ
Sun Jian smiled bitterly, and said in his heart What do you insist on in this situation, wait for death, it's better to kill it as soon as possible. He shouted loudly: "General Yuan, the defeat is decided, you can't delay, I will protect you to break through." โ
Yuan Yi shook his head again and again, pushed away the guards around him, squeezed to Sun Jian's side, and yelled in his ear. โ
"It's true!" Yuan Yi pointed in the direction of Liu Xiu in the distance: "Please hold on no matter what." โ
Sun Jian was ecstatic, nodded vigorously, and drew his knife and howled. (To be continued) RQ
