Chapter 12 of the next volume

PS: On the top of the rolling hills, there are some spikes floating first, which should be long lances exposed; Then the five-color flags flutter in the wind, unfurling their logos, proclaiming the mystical scriptures of the Han people about martial virtue and killing; Then the red tassels were like devil's flowers, and the faces under the helmets could not see their expressions, but they could imagine their smiles; It was followed by iron armor shining in the sun, shining with a kind of light that was destined to be obtained; Finally, a large cavalry force surfaced, lining up as the terrain meandered, looking down at the battlefield beneath their feet, the neighing of horses as if from heaven.

The god of war overlooked the battlefield and couldn't help but say: The magic of this battle is that both sides have the same stomach and coincide, and they both feel that they are sure to win.

In the eyes of the senior generals of the Jin army, since Helian has come to the banquet, there is no longer any suspense in this Hongmen banquet carefully regulated by our side.

In Helian Xuan's opinion, his cavalry had already captured the main force of the Jin army in this open land, and all that remained was hunting and slaughtering.

The water in the pond is icy and the river flows silently under the ice. The earth does not know the spring coming, it is still hard and cold, and the horse's hooves are knocking up, sonorous and ruthless. The Huns from the north and the Han from the south are about to break out in the land of the Qiang people who have just died. The Xiongnu hero named Helian Bobo, and the Han hero named Liu Yu, each did not look at each other, and played a game of dark chess from afar. The chess pieces have been played with by each of them for many years, and they have long been pinched and rounded, soaked in their smell, so the results of the chess pieces' fight can probably be regarded as the honor and disgrace of the two of them.

The usual tranquility before the battle was shattered by a Xiongnu envoy, who rode up to the Jin army and conveyed Helian Bi's meaning in fluent Chinese: if the Jin army surrenders now. Guaranteed not a single kill! Shozo can even be promoted.

The Jin army was very impolite and gave a reply to send a strong man. In front of the envoy, he waved the flag of the leopard camp left and right, and then threw it on the ground and trampled on it. The cow coaxed and sprinkled a soak of urine on the flag. The Jin army burst into laughter, accompaniment to this blatant humiliation.

There is no need for the military envoy to return to his life, Helian Xuan's nose is already crooked.

Yao Zhanbao jumped off his horse, half-knelt in front of Helian Xuan's horse, and begged to be the first to fall into battle. That soaked urine was literally sprinkled in his eye sockets! Seep into his bones! The smell spreads to the ancestral temple! Although Helian once looked down on this leopard extermination battalion that fell from the sky, at this moment, in front of the three armies, the Jin army insulted not his subordinates, but the prestige of his main general and the entire face of the Xia army, as well as the dignity of the Xiongnu royal court!

For this soak in urine. The Southern Barbarians must pay all the blood!

After taking off the head of the commander of the Southern Army, I will make it into a urinal!

All heads are made into urinals!

This Yao exterminated the leopard, and he worked very hard in the war, but he could keep it under the account.

Your soldiers have already lost a lot, I will add you 3,000 men, you give me a hammer to smash over, be sure to make the southern barbarians lose their armor with the first blow!

The first hammer made of iron of the 3,000 Huns did not cause the Jin army to disintegrate immediately, but the latter obviously fought very hard. The phalanx of the Jin army was very close, and the soldiers had little room to turn around. Because they just need to keep their minds on moving forward. The first few platoons of lancers used their strength to eat milk, tightly grasped the lance, and carried the first wave of cavalry onslaught. The lance blade has long been sharpened, and it is stabbed at close range. Ordinary iron armor can't stop it. The lance is made of thin bamboo strips, and the outside is tightly wrapped with linen strips and painted layer by layer. The sound of the knife is like iron, and it is strong and flexible in the hand. It will never break because of the ferocity of the impact. As long as the soldier is not bold, he will enter like a wall. Enough to make Huma hesitate. As long as one person in the first row falls, someone in the second row must immediately go up, otherwise the soldiers on both sides of the flaw will immediately lose protection. The Beifu soldiers have fought against the Hu people for many years, and the infantry phalanx has long been in full swing. At this moment, although people continued to fall, the first faction of the long lance wall never collapsed, and the Hun cavalry fought hard to kill, but they could not tear the hole and rushed into the formation. The archers behind the battle were not idle for a moment, pouring endless rain of arrows on the heads of the Huns.

The Huns fought more flexibly than Yao Qin's Qiang soldiers, and failed to fall into battle in the first charge, so they immediately whistled, turned their horses' heads and left, and quickly turned around to launch a second round of impact. The knights fired their bows from afar, and stabbed them at close range, like a northern wind in the desert that tirelessly shook a great tree, and wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible.

The Jin army's lance hand went forward one after another, leveling the depression at any time, and the queue gradually shrank from seven rows to four rows. The earth has not yet thawed, blood cannot seep in, people are slippery under their feet, and their noses are bloody. On the front line of the two armies, the corpses of the Huns, Qiang and Han were lying in a staggered manner, mixed with dead and wounded horses, and the seriously wounded soldiers who had not had time to withdraw were trampled by the horses' hooves, and the screams made people's hairs stand on end.

Yao Annihilation Leopard ordered to turn around again, preparing to launch a third charge. In his opinion, the reason why the Jin army can still hold on is because the two sides are engaged in close combat, and the cavalry has lost its impact, as long as there is another rapid collision, the Jin army in this phalanx in front of him will collapse. The remnants of the defeated army will disperse the phalanx behind, and at that time, as long as the Xia army is a good shepherd who drives livestock, it will be enough to fight like a bamboo, and collect countless heads.

Just as he led the people to turn and run to the best starting point, ready to smash the third hammer with acceleration, there was a commotion behind him. Thank God! Amitabha! The fighting spirit of the Jin army collapsed, and they turned around and fled. They ran very fast and thoroughly, throwing not only their weapons but also their heavy armor, and it was obvious that they were the first to live, and they would never have any illusions of resistance. They look like wolves running away, and their black cloth robes make them look like a group of voles that have crossed the wilderness and frantically avoided predators.

Kill all these rats!

Without waiting for Yao to order the forward to turn around, Helian Xuan, who was in charge of the Chinese army, had already urged to blow the trumpet and beat the drum, so that the whole army could cover the past.

The Jin army was surprisingly fast, and in a blink of an eye, they ran to the second phalanx. The phalanx commander shouted a command, and the rout divided into two groups, bypassed the phalanx left and right, and ran to the rear.

Yao Annihilation Leopard was shocked that the generals of the Jin army did not kill these defeated soldiers in battle.

With Helian Bobo, these people have been broken in two at this moment.

The front foot of the defeated army vacated the battlefield, and the back foot of the Xia army had already killed in front of the Jin army's formation, but the things that the enemy threw on the ground were piled up. Although it is not a strong base, it also stumbles. The knights had to be careful not to stumble. As a result, the impact velocity slows down, and the density is inevitably mixed with water.

Yao Annihilation Leopard rushed to the front, raising his shield to block the flying arrows. The force of the arrow hitting the shield was great, and it should be that the Jin army deployed a strong crossbow behind the second phalanx. It was a bad sign, but it was too late for him to pull down. His people fought hard, and they never rested, and even drank hot water, and the men and horses were already tired. At this moment, under the fierce crossbow offensive of the Jin army, after the three springs went, the group withered, and in the blink of an eye, there were dead and wounded. The scattered knights who broke through the rain of arrows rushed to the front of the formation and encountered a wall of lances. They tried to push the spikes away, but they were thrown off their horses in an instant, and some were stabbed in several places at once.

There is not much left of the old foundation of the extermination camp.

Helian Pyro's spearhead has been broken.

It's just that the spear shaft is unaware.

Helian was full of pride, ready to extinguish this eclipse. He has already decided: after the main force of the Jin army is eliminated, he will not take a break. Take advantage of the victory to take Chang'an, and in the Yao Qin court occupied by the Jin army, use good rice paper, with the pleasure of annihilating the enemy. Win to your father.

The Hun cavalry was surging with waves, and people were wielding weapons. The shepherd's unique howl is the howl of a steppe wolf that would tremble when he heard it. The wave ahead met an immovable dam. When it encounters the killing machine shot there, it will soon form a backflow that will not advance or retreat. And the torrent behind is still moving forward.

The god of war looked down at the battlefield and sighed: the beauty of this time is that both sides think that the fruit of victory has fallen in their baskets. But only the god of war knows whose fragrance he will accept.

A strange sound overwhelmed the noise on the battlefield.

The attention of both opposing sides was drawn into the air by it.

It was a chirping arrow, longer and bigger than a normal arrow, shooting higher and sharper. It sent out from behind the Jin army, flew half a mile high in an instant, and then turned around and swooped down, landing on the wilderness not far away, roaring all the way.

The phoenix appeared, the birds were silent, and the battlefield suddenly fell silent.

Anyone who has fought in a war knows that this is a special signal that is not commonly used outside the golden drum flag, indicating that the enemy or our side is going to have a special move, and the course of the battle may suddenly take a turn, and some kind of force may intervene unexpectedly, in short, if it is not sent by oneself, it is often not a good sign. And on the battlefield at this moment, except for a few generals of the Jin army, the others, regardless of Jin Xia, are speculating quickly and with a little brazenness, not understanding what it means.

Yao Zhanbao's eyes were sharp, and he saw a puff of dust and smoke floating on the flank hills.

Helian saw it too.

On the top of the rolling hills, some spikes floated first, which should be long lances exposed; Then the five-color flags flutter in the wind, unfurling their logos, proclaiming the mystical scriptures of the Han people about martial virtue and killing; Then the red tassels were like devil's flowers, and the faces under the helmets could not see their expressions, but they could imagine their smiles; It was followed by iron armor shining in the sun, shining with a kind of light that was destined to be obtained; Finally, a large cavalry force surfaced, lining up as the terrain meandered, looking down at the battlefield beneath their feet, the neighing of horses as if from heaven.

Helian slapped himself in the face. As the main general, he didn't even check the geography!

Now his elongated ranks provide excellent targets for enemy flanking attacks.

Now I finally understand why the first formation of the Jin army "collapsed", and then understand the intention of the previous challenge of the Jin army.

It's too late!

A drum beat sounded on the hills. People on the battlefield look up and give the illusion that the drum itself can concoct people.

The flock of eagles has swooped!

Lambs everywhere!

The cavalry of the Jin army was condescending, making a thousand falls, like a metal avalanche, surging over, as if to swallow up the qiē it encountered. The people in front were already wild and unrestrained like sharp spearheads, and the follow-up people and horses were still rushing over the hill and pounced down.

Chen Song and Hu Luzheng led the flying cavalry, wrapped in the huge impact of the tower, and instantly cut the main force of Helian Xuan's Chinese army into three sections. The brothers were ordered to use the strength of the dive attack to the last drop, so that the impact would be more ferocious than the fighting.

Each person holds a lance with a blade at both ends in both hands and wraps the reins around the shaft. You don't have to dance it, just keep it balanced and steady horizontally. The terrain gives the horse the speed of flight, which causes it to brake statically. At the height of the enemy's flat chest, harvest all the way to the past.

Wait until people pile up. When the speed slows down, the brethren throw away the lance. Take off your mace and thrash it within easy reach.

The god of war overlooked the battlefield and nodded lightly: Take advantage of the terrain and skillfully obtain weapons, two thousand can be used as twenty thousand, and the Jin army is good at calculating!

In a conventional engagement, the two horses are in the stirrups for a moment, which is the moment when two knights clash, or one of them is hit. Either they are both unharmed, and the two of them miss and turn around and come back, which is called a round.

There are no rounds today, only slaughter.

Everywhere the Flying Cavalry went, there was no reciprocal fighting, only one side cutting the horse, and the other side screaming and screaming.

In order to bully the enemy, the Jin army initially held a long lance with one hand, revealing only one head. It seems to be holding an ordinary weapon. By the time the Huns realized that these Jin knights had two wings open and could kill people on both wings, a string of people had already fallen off their horses. The figures on the battlefield are longing and dusty. It's hard to know what we've learned from the past, as you can on paper. There were still Hun warriors rushing over with their weapons held high, but before the short weapons in their hands hit the opponent, their ribs had already been cut.

Yao Annihilation Leopard was guarding Helian Biao's side. Watching the Jin army is like a hungry wolf rushing into a flock. He's seen ambushes, he's seen shocks. But I've never seen such an unstoppable cut today. The Huns are not a bad race, and the Han people say that they are "not ashamed to run away". It seems that they will only speculate and dare not fight viciously. But in fact, it was the shepherd army when there was no founding of the country earlier, not the regular army of the Huns that has been tempered by military law today. As long as the main general did not order the troops to retreat, the Huns would rather die in battle than deserters. But today, these brave and resolute men, like artemisia grass, were cut down in an instant without resistance wherever the Jin army was in the reach of the soldiers.

This kind of soldier is now forcing towards the location of the Chinese army Helian Bi.

Helian took out his scimitar and shouted to the elite guards beside him:

"Give me the majesty of the Helian family, rush up, and kill Nan"

The "Southern Barbarian" he wanted to talk about was interrupted by another Mingdi. With this sharp howl, the two phalanxes of the Jin infantry merged into one, and the lancers, sword players, and archers were mixed, stepping on neat steps, and pushing towards the crowd of melees. The scattered Hun soldiers were either shot by arrows, stabbed by lances, or slaughtered by sword players. After the phalanx, the Jin commander's drums did not stop for a moment, the phalanx advanced faster and faster, and all the killing forces merged into a ferocious chariot, rumbling over all the mantis arms.

Helian Pyro's face turned pale, and he kept swallowing his saliva.

The stragglers who were squeezed by the phalanx kept retreating, the cavalry of the Jin army was stirring wantonly inside, his army was already in chaos, and the people around him were waiting for his order to reorganize the three armies, but he really didn't know what to do?

Yao Annihilation Leopard arched his hand to him:

"General, Fang Jin's plan is to quickly break away first. The cavalry that ambushed us was not many, and the Jin army was clumsy in its movements, so if we concentrated our forces and rushed out and formed a formation in an open field in front, they would have no advantage at that time. ”

Helian said again and again, just do it.

The retreat gong sounded, the trumpets sounded, the commander pointed behind the flag, and the Hun knights shook off the Jin army and retreated. But the Jin army understood the intentions of their opponents and clung to them to fight to the death. The phalanx infantry no longer needed to worry about the impact of the cavalry, they combined their long and short troops, formed a long snake, interspersed into the chaotic army, and fought against the hesitant Xia cavalry. Fu Hongzhi sent a team of dead soldiers, rolled up the banner of the Jin army, buried his head and ran wildly, interspersed until the end of the Xia army, and joined the cavalry that cut off the retreat of the Xia army, and then unfurled the banner, shouting and waving.

The moment he saw this flag, the Xia army collapsed.

Everyone thought they were surrounded.

It's not important to kill the enemy, it's important to survive.

Yao Annihilation Leopard rushed in front of Helian Xuan, holding knives in both hands to clear the way for him, slashing and killing him regardless of whether it was an enemy or a friend in his way. The remaining men of the extermination battalion followed closely, blowing trumpets while retreating, beckoning more and more people to their side, and finally gathered more than 2,000 horsemen, fought hard to open the bloody road, rushed out of the chaotic army, and retreated all the way to the large camp by the Wei River.

The infantry in the large battalion was not in combat readiness, and the captain of the battalion instructed them to prepare a feast for the triumphant cavalry. The soldiers shed blood instead of killing the enemy, but only slaughtered pigs and sheep; Sweating instead of fighting is just hard cooking. Seeing the cavalry galloping from afar, the soldier ran to tell the remaining general, who brought people out to greet him, ready to smile and flatter, but what he saw was a defeated army that was defeated and scattered.

Helian rushed into the camp, intending to gather his forces to resist for a while, but the enemy's arrows had already landed on the tent closest to the camp gate. He whipped his horse. Stepping over the pots and pans and meat cases on the road, I went straight through the barracks. Gallop to the edge of the water. The Wei River in this area is wide, and the opposite river bank is high. Horses simply can't go up. Twenty miles down the river, the widow crossed the area with a gentle bank and a pontoon bridge, from where it was safer.

The god of war overlooked the battlefield and couldn't help but say again: the beauty of the battlefield at this time was that the commanders of the two armies were staring at the same place.

Before the two armies of Jin and Xia joined forces, Fu Hongzhi had already sent an elite 500 people to the division, sneaking in the middle of the road, and seizing the widow's crossing. their tasks. It is to occupy the bridgehead on the north bank of the pontoon bridge, block the Xia soldiers with strong bows and crossbows, and buy time for the pursuing troops.

Helian was unaware of this, in fact, he didn't care about anything except for the quick escape of the Wei River, including that he was already hungry and his back was close to his back, including the possibility that the horse might die suddenly if he ran any further, including the fact that even if he escaped from his pursuers, he would have to walk through a large area of the wilderness to meet the first Daxia stronghold, including the fact that his angry father might tear him to the flesh. Including the loss of this battle, it means that there is no capital to win the heir. There was only one thing he was awake about, and that was that: he ran north without hesitation.

His troops, like a broomstick star, swept across the wilderness. In front of the regiment, there were cavalry. Behind the trailing and lengthy tails were the infantry who had fled from the barracks in a hurry, and many of them did not have time to put on their armor. He didn't even have a stick in his hand. The screams followed, as the people running at the back were knocked down by the enemy who was catching up. More people when the Jin cavalry caught up. Flash to the side of the road and kneel. Jin Qi ignored them and left them behind. Handed over to the infantry for containment and disposal.

Twenty miles away, the horses are there in a moment. The sun shines on the ice, shining coldly. The pontoon bridge is like a rainbow, hidden in this light.

Helian recited a Buddha horn, and was about to ride the bridge, but was pulled by Yao Zhanbao and grabbed the reins. The latter did not find the Jin army ambushed in the northern case, and he was worried that the pontoon bridge was in disrepair, so he sent a few people over to try it first.

One of the chiefs and his men rode up to the pontoon bridge. In the middle of the bridge, he shouted with a gesture that the bridge was strong.

Helian immediately hit the bridge. As soon as I went up, the bridge shook slightly. The horse slashed the bridge a few times, but refused to take a step, and Helian whipped it violently, and the horse reluctantly started. At this moment, the army behind him shouted, and when he looked up, he saw that the commander in front of him, along with his soldiers, had fallen off his horse. Almost at the same time, an arrow went under his horse's belly.

On the north bank of the Wei River, at the end of the pontoon bridge, a long wall suddenly erected from the barren grass, and in addition to a pair of bows and arrows in each person's hand, there were also huge crossbows on the ground, and the arrows they spit out roared like monsters.

You can't run along the river anymore, and you'll have to be picked up one by one in the wilderness.

Xia Bing did not wait for the order of the commander, holding his shield, and touched forward along the pontoon bridge. Others stepped on the ice, trying to get around the wings. The Jin troops on the north bank lined up and could shoot the pontoon bridge from the side, and the soldiers on the bridge were quickly shot and killed, and the corpses were blocked on the bridge, blood dripping on the ice. The soldiers who stepped on the ice slipped three times in one step, their movements were clumsy and slow, and they were targeted by the archers of the Jin army. The thick arrows shot by the hard crossbow can pierce through two or three people with one arrow, and the first shot of the arrow bounces off the ice, and it still has enough lethality. The infantry officers and men could not rush through the middle line of the Wei River at all, and threw countless corpses on the ice on the south side.

Failed to cross the bridge three times in a row, and the shouts of killing had already pressed from behind, Helian was in a hurry, and went straight to the ice to hit the horse. Yao Zhanbao grabbed him, tore off his battle robe, and wrapped Helian Xuan's horse hooves. The horseshoe is spaced out, and the ice is less slippery. Others have done the same.

Now they can't care so much, they only have one way to survive, that is, to rush across the Wei River in one go and kill the archers of the Jin army.

The Jin army rained arrows, and they could not get up to fight back, but could only lie in the saddle or hide in stirrups, leaving their fate completely in the hands of the horses. If the horses are unlucky, they can only admit it.

Horses don't fall as easily as they think when they charge on the ice, but they can trip several horses in no time if they fall to the ground with an arrow. Helian was almost lying on his horse's back, holding his horse's neck with both hands, dodging the fallen men and horses, and praying for God's blessing, don't let my horse slip, don't let me be shot, don't let me be taken prisoner, don't let me die on this cold river before I live enough.

The people around him have fallen off the horse.

The horses around him overturned.

It seemed that every arrow whistled was directed at itself.

I don't know how long I ran, it feels like ten years.

Perhaps Shangcang really took pity on the son of Helian Bobo, the king of Great Xia, and rushed all the way to the north shore, but he really did not encounter any kind of disaster as imagined. He set foot on the north bank with more than 500 horsemen, scattered the archers of the Jin army, and galloped all the way north.

Left behind is a huge slaughterhouse.

The god of war overlooked the battlefield and let out a long sigh:

Widow crossing, I don't know how many widows have been made today! (To be continued......)
