Volume 2 Chapter 11 The Wisher Takes the Bait
PS: Hatred is hard to quench, and he reaches out and takes a bow from a knight next to him. It was the kind of hard bow he liked. He straightened up in the stirrup, drew his bow to the farthest it could bear, and with a thunderclap unleashed a long arrow with a barb on its blade.
It was supposed to shoot Xu Zhihao in the back, but before it arrived, Xu Zhihao's horse was so tired that it suddenly collapsed, leaving Xu Zhihao aside, so it missed its owner's target and continued to fly forward.
It can't fly that high forever. It lowered its altitude and continued to fly, and finally encountered the first row of the Jin army's formation, and with a thud, it drilled deep into a shield. The shield was red, with a beast's head painted in black paint, and the arrow was stuck right in the beast's mouth.
The shield-bearers were cheering for their men to regain the enemy's flag, not even noticing the uninvited guest.
At the same time, a row of bullhorns whimpered, and Helian Xuan's main cavalry had already finished arranged.
The leopard extermination battalion that took the lead was almost brave, but it was not as sharp as it was when it galloped out of the camp today.
The Beifu soldiers are really not easy to deal with.
If they knew that in the hills on the flank, there was another group of Beifu soldiers who were recuperating and waiting for a high position, their liver and gallbladder would be shattered.
The brethren of the Flying Cavalry hid behind the mountain packs, and each soldier had a wooden stick in his mouth, and the ropes at the ends of the wooden stick were knotted at the back of his head, so that he could not speak. This kind of forced silence, known as the "title", is called "wearing an animal chew" by soldiers. Soldiers don't talk when they're in ambush, but the advantage of the title is that you can't even cough. And real livestock. All the horses have been hooded. lest they hiss in excitement or frightened. Thousands of cavalry silently hid among the hills and ravines. Waiting for the manager's side-attack signal, it will be a loud whistle that will resound in the sky.
Chen Song lay on the top of the hill, wearing a piece of camel felt of the same color as the earth, watching the heart-wrenching fight in the distance.
Hu Luzheng kept muttering on the side:
"Stop fighting, run away, and you'll be wiped out if you continue to fight!"
Chen Song had already rejected three requests from his subordinates to fight. Rushing down at this moment will certainly allow Guo Xu's team to survive a few more, but Fu Hongzhi's plan to annihilate the Xia army will also fail. Between brotherhood and the success or failure of the overall situation, Chen Song, a veteran of Beifu, is unequivocal. Although his left palm had been bloodied by his right fingernail.
At this time, Guo Xu had already commanded his infantry to fight the leopard extermination battalion in Great Xia for three rounds. The first two sorties were very smooth, and the first two sorties were like games. The rain of arrows created by the infantry instantly brought down dozens of Great Xia spearheads. Almost at the same time as the arrows fell into the pile, Guo Xu's cavalry also killed from both wings. Two wedge-shaped formations were sharply inserted into it, reaping their lives with teeth and claws. Without waiting for the follow-up Xia soldiers to organize a decent resistance, the attackers had already seen that they were well and retreated quickly.
Yao Anbao bypassed a pile of dead and wounded officers and soldiers on the ground, and commanded people to catch up. The cavalry of the Jin army was neither fast nor busy, and did not let the pursuers catch it. After the two sides were entangled for a mile in such an unclear way, the Jin cavalry suddenly split into two groups, revealing the infantry archers who had formed a formation to wait for the enemy. The Xia soldiers, who were in full pursuit, were once again subjected to a dense volley of heads. The force with which they accelerated forward was enough to make the oncoming arrows more lethal. In the chaos, Guo Xu's cavalry came over again, and rushed to kill in the unsquare Huns. With a whistling, it quickly detached. Reenact that scene.
These two formations are enough for the pulse of the quasi-Jin army of the Yao Extinguishing Leopard.
The order was given, and the cavalry formed a wide frontal horizontal formation. Eight rows in front and back, treating the enemy strictly. When the cavalry of the Jin army came to attack, they waited quietly for them to approach, and after the battle, they were quickly divided into three pieces. a piece of fighting cavalry in front of them, preventing them from separating; The cavalry on both wings accelerated and rode back behind their bows and arrows, blocking their retreat and allowing the defeated Jin cavalry to trample on them.
At this time, Guo Xu has also realized that the enemy will not be stupid enough to suffer the same loss again, but it is not yet known what kind of new way they will play. Xu Zhihao felt that killing Niu Wei had angered Helian Bi; Now that two battles in a row are enough to provoke the main general of the Xia Soldiers, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the brothers have not suffered many casualties and quickly withdraw to the main force. The two villains in Guo Xu's heart were jumping and fighting, one said to run quickly, and if he didn't run, he wouldn't be able to run away; The other said that it was not good yet, and now the enemy would be suspicious and not drill the trap. In the end, the villain who advocated not running had the upper hand, Guo Xu picked up the water bladder and drank a few big sips, wiping his mouth:
"Brothers, do you dare to kill again?"
The initial nervousness of the foot riders had turned into excitement in the rush of Shun Lì, and they said in their throats that they would kill again.
The moment I rushed up, I knew that the situation was not good.
The Huns had apparently had enough of the humiliation of being slaughtered by the Southern Barbarians, and this time they showed what they were best at.
The arrows fell like wind and rain.
Guo Xu didn't dare to rush again, turned his horse's head, and wanted to run out of the enemy's range with all his strength. But the sharp thrust chased them, and it was clear that the Huns were chasing and shooting at the same time. The cavalrymen carried their shields behind their backs, and the sound of arrows falling on them sounded like a torrential rain knocking on doors. The horses were shot in the buttocks, and some ran wild in pain, while others fell to the ground with a bang, throwing the knight to the ground. From time to time, there were screams and heavy falling horses around Guo Xu, which meant that his cavalry team was being eroded little by little, turning from lean to dry.
Xu Zhihao shouted loudly on the side:
"Big brother, this can't work, you have to turn around and hit it fiercely!"
He's right!
If you are chased by the tail for a while, the team will collapse and the morale of the army will be scattered.
Rabbits can kick eagles, sheep can beat wolves, why can't the Beifu soldiers resolutely rebel?
Guo Xu flipped onto the horse's back from the horse's pedal, and ordered in a loud voice:
"Brothers, don't stop, control the horse, turn quickly to the left, and kill him back to the carbine!"
The knights understood and pulled the reins to the left at full speed. A few of the horses were exhausted and put themselves down in an instant when they turned around, but the others drew a sharp arc on the battlefield, rolling up a cloud of curvy smoke and dust, and turned back to kill the Hun cavalry in a hurry.
At this time, Yao Annihilation Leopard had already let the herald blow the horn and signaled the cavalry on both wings to speed up and outflank. Before the sound of the horn fell, I saw the fleeing enemy cavalry suddenly turn back. This is all too rare. A small group of cavalry actually dared to hit a cavalry wall head-on! didn't wait for him to come up with a response. The Jin cavalry had already passed through the rain of arrows, like a short sword. Coldly as a chest stab.
Guo Xu's lance pierced through the current Xia military captain, and he and his victims were too fast. So much so that it was impossible for him to pull out the lance, so he could only let him go. Drawing the long sword at his waist, the left sword and the right mallet, without using his brain, instinctively parrying towards the incoming weapon, killing the exposed human body, while pitching and dodging in the saddle. From the rough shouting of killing, he vaguely felt that Xu Zhihao was in the left rear, before the latter rushed into the Hun cavalry formation. He had already thrown his lance out and stabbed a knight who was about to open his bow and arrow, and now, like Guo Xu, he turned himself into a whirlwind of death that flew like a wheel.
The Huns had been shooting arrows, and now they were suddenly encountering a brazen hand-to-hand combat, and most of them did not have time to change into fighting weapons, and they avoided for a while. The Jin army fought for a while, and it had already penetrated the back of the Xiongnu front. Smoke and dust can be seen in front of you. The horn whined, knowing that Helian Helian's large army was following.
Big fish are biting bait.
Guo Xu reined in the horse, and then looked at the side, there were about fifty people and horses to ride.
Needless to say. With a finger of the long sword, the brothers shouted, turned over and slaughtered into the Hun cavalry formation.
Yao extinguished the leopard's eyes on fire. Gritting his teeth, shouting and gesturing to the people around him. The command lowered the horse's head to surround Guo Xu.
Now Guo Xu's cavalry and infantry are going to be separated.
The cavalry was outnumbered.
The infantry had only two legs.
Could this be the burial place of my Guo Xu?
The image of Xiao Qiao leaning against the door frame as she bid farewell quickly flashed through her mind.
No!
Never!
The blood surged, as if it was about to boil the murderous aura. Extinguish a qiē danger.
"Brothers, don't be surrounded by them and rush forward at full speed! Whatever happens, don't pull the reins! ”
The horses gathered into a throwing knife and threw it at the enemy's line.
The Huns had just opened their wings and before they could close, the arc was cut off. A glimmer of hope rose in Guo Xu's heart, and he was about to call his brothers to gallop and lead the enemy to the main army, when suddenly something was thrown from the oblique thorn, he instinctively stretched out the iron mallet to block, and at the same time his body flashed backwards, but was instantly dragged off the horse by a force.
It was a rope that wrapped around Guo Xu's right arm.
At the same time, a Hun knight stabbed him in the neck.
Guo Xu rolled on the ground, dodged the lance, jumped up, and cut the rope with a sword. The knight in his trap was already brandishing his mace and rushing towards him. Three paces away, he was knocked off his horse by a mallet that flew towards him. Guo Xu picked up the hammer and threw it to Xu Zhihao, turned over and got on the horse. The two of them rushed a few steps side by side, but were blocked by two people.
Yao Annihilation Leopard held his long lance, like a gloomy god. His rider followed behind him without leaving an inch, and the black flag was like a dark cloud over the head of the gods.
He had already discovered that Guo Xu was the commander of this team of Jin soldiers, so he wanted to capture the thief and capture the king.
It just so happened that Guo Xu thought so. The moment he saw the military flag, he already understood that this person should be the commander of the Leopard Extermination Battalion.
They nodded to each other, and then greeted each other. Before the two met, a knife flew towards Guo Xu. Guo Xu turned to one side, and the knife flew out with his nose, and at the same time, Yao Xuanbao's lance had already stabbed over with a yin wind. Guo Xu was taken aback, because firstly, he had never encountered such an opponent with a flying knife, and secondly, he had never encountered such a powerful stabbing blow.
Yao Annihilation Leopard is a real martial arts master, he doesn't have any rich moves, just simple stabs, sweeps, smashes, and presses, but once these concise movements are added with speed, they become extremely fierce. As for your opponents, you'll find that your dodge speed can't keep up with how often your opponents attack. If the landing point of your first dodge happens to meet the landing point of his second attack, then you will have to accept your fate.
But Guo Xu is also a real martial arts master, and he has no fancy moves, only strength beyond ordinary people. The muscles inherited from the blacksmith family give him an explosive power like thunder and lightning. If there is strength, there is speed, and if there is speed, offense and defense are free, when he found that he couldn't dodge Yao Xuanbao's assassination at all, he simply didn't dodge, and went straight to knock with an iron mallet.
When the mallet and the iron mallet met, Yao Anbao felt a shock wave spread from the palm of his hand to the door of his head. Ears are buzzing.
They each took a step back and nodded to each other again. The last time it was a stranger meeting and greeting, this time it was a tribute to the opponent.
And then there were two whirlwinds that swept together.
Guo Xu will not let Yao Annihilation Leopard always take advantage of the long weapon. So he quickly rushed to the front, and the iron mallet was entangled. Longsword is always looking for flaws in his opponent. Flaws are hard to find. The long lance is in the hands of Yao Zhanbao, like a flexible snake in the mountains. Both the head and tail can be attacked, and the group protects the master.
The two of them were so engrossed in each other that they were completely oblivious to what was going on around them.
Guo Xu's cavalry had been broken in half under the siege of the Huns, but none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, and everyone had to drag a few cushions to meet the king of Hades. I don't know if the Huns believed in Hades, but they must have believed in ghosts and gods. Today, I met the devils with swords, guns, bows, and crossbows, and their murderous aura was ignited by the battle, and they were blazing. I don't know life and death, the people and horses under the knife are broken, and the rod is cracked to the iron and stone. If the weapon is lost, hold the enemy and swing his fist, open his teeth and bite it. Next to the corpse of each fallen knight of the Jin army, there must be the corpse of a frightened and mutilated Xiongnu.
Xu Zhihao flashed a thought the moment Guo Xu made a move, and now he is still a long knife away from realizing this idea.
He wanted to take down the flag of the Leopard Killing Battalion.
The flag guard was very alert, and when Xu Zhihao circled around him, he also followed. Xu Zhihao is already a big man. But the man was taller than him. In other words, the flag of the extermination battalion did not look like it was being held by one person, but it looked like it was deeply planted in an iron lump. The iron pimple held the flag in one hand. In one hand, he holds a long, wide, and thickened ring head knife.
Xu Zhihao looked at it for a long time, and felt that he had to try the reaction speed of this giant Mac, so he leaned over and picked up a long lance from the ground. pretended to leave, and suddenly turned around and threw himself. The man raised his hand. Hit the lance on the ground with a knife.
But his hand didn't quickly return to alert, and the knife was still sinking where it fell.
He is powerful, but not agile.
Xu Zhihao turned his back to the sun and smiled at the flag guard. This big Hun could only see a backlit face, and he couldn't see the expression of this southern barbarian clearly. When he saw that his opponent had already rushed towards him, he raised his long knife and prepared to strike a heavy blow. Xu Zhihao was rushing towards his right side, so that his long knife could be swung out easily. But when the two horses were about to meet, Xu Zhihao knocked the horse's belly with his left stirrup, and the horse understood and rushed to the left side of the flag keeper in a flash. The flag bearer held the heavy military flag in his left hand, and he had no time to lower the flagpole and stab his opponent with the iron tip at the top. He instinctively twisted his bulky body and wanted to swing his right hand to slash, but the back of the knife slammed into the flagpole. The speed at which he readjusted his posture was far from keeping up with the sword in Xu Zhihao's left hand, and it met the Adam's apple of a thick neck, and cut a large hole in it mercilessly. The flag bearer threw away both the knife and the flag, reached out to cover his wounds, and then the whole man fell off his horse, and the sound was like a large bag of grain falling to the ground.
Xu Zhihao stood up on the stirrup and waved the enemy's flag:
"Huns, you are a group of wrecks and can't even keep the military flag, go back to your hometown!"
When the Hun knights saw this scene, they all lost their color. The remaining twenty or so Jin cavalry rushed out of the front line and gathered around Xu Zhihao, their morale was like a rainbow:
"Long live the Beifu soldiers!"
Yao Annihilation Leopard had been invincible for a long time, and was already out of breath, when he suddenly heard that the military flag was not guaranteed, he was distracted, Guo Xu's iron mallet had been smashed down, and the moment he used the mallet to hold the iron mallet, the iron mallet swept along the mallet and hit the tiger's mouth in one of his hands. Yao Anbao reacted very quickly, while spreading out with one hand, he smashed the tail of the lance at Guo Xu with the other hand, the latter grabbed the lance, Yao Anbao took the opportunity to let go, beat the horse and rushed into his circle, turned around at the last moment, and grabbed the long lance that Guo Xu threw at the back of his heart.
The two nodded to each other again.
Guo Xu slowly turned the horse's head and came to Xu Zhihao's side,
This small group of cavalry was now surrounded by enemies, clamoring for bloodshed and regaining the lost banner.
On the top of the hill, Chen Song showed a smile on his face.
Because he saw a big hedgehog approaching Guo Xu, if it pierced the line of the Huns, Guo Xu would be able to break through. This place is less than two miles away from the army's array, as long as Guo Xu no longer loves to fight, he can save the day by sprinting for a while.
That hedgehog is the infantry of the Jin army.
Guo Xu's return rifle disrupted Yao Zhanbao's deployment, and the manpower of the infantry who was originally planned to outflank had to be rolled back to deal with the cavalry. The infantrymen stayed where they were, watching the Hun cavalry besieging their cavalry brothers, and didn't know what to do?
Yes. One man whispered to us if we could take advantage of the opportunity to run away.
He was immediately slapped in the face by the people around him. The people who beat him said that Master Guo was so considerate of us, and now he is in trouble. You want to leave him and slip away!
Another said that if you don't leave at this time, you won't be able to go again. The Huns slaughtered it. We don't have any left.
One of the people next to him said that it was better to be a deserter if there was nothing left. If you want to escape, Lao Tzu is also a person who is going to die, General Fu Hongzhi gave him another chance to live, and I will live a dignified and vigorous death.
People nodded their heads.
The last soldier said which of us had ever been an officer.
Three men raised their hands, the largest of which was a former team vice-in-command. Everyone said that they would listen to you, what do you think? This man said that I think the brother was right just now, we are the ones who have lived again, since the army has given us a chance. Then you must be upright and vigorous, worthy of General Fu and Lord Guo. To be honest, everyone knows that we are actually here to be dead soldiers this time, but everyone thinks about it, it is the same death, can a dead soldier be the same as a death row prisoner? We died on the battlefield today, cleared of our crimes, and we are martyrs. The old and young in the family can enter the martyr's camp, and the country will raise them. Isn't that enough? Now he runs away and is wanted by the government. How can you have the face to go back to see people? I advocate that this will be called to save the lord of Guo. If you are willing, follow me, and if you are unwilling, don't force it!
None of them quit.
Nearly two hundred people, forming a ten-line phalanx. Stretch your bow and arrows, and shout the password. Qi brushed and rushed to the encirclement of the Huns.
The small Hun troops who were monitoring them did not dare to come up close to attack the hedgehog, and stayed out of range. While accompanying him, he sent someone to report to the brigade. The herald squeezed through the crowd and found Yao Zhanbao, who was directing the cavalry to compress the encirclement, trying to trap Guo Xu and his men to death. His mind was full of regaining the flag and slaughtering the remnants of the enemy, and he didn't want to pay attention to any infantry, and he didn't believe that the infantry would come to seek death. Hearing the warning at this moment, he suddenly realized that in the current situation, the cavalry was surrounded by a group, and there was no impact at all, so he lost the advantage of overwhelming the infantry, and hurriedly ordered the transfer of troops to meet the infantry. When the division of troops was chaotic, the infantry of the Jin army made a move.
The deputy of the front team knew that after this round of attacks, these infantry could only turn around and run desperately, and there would be no chance to stop and release arrows, so he ordered that a hundred men be divided into close combat with swords, tear open the gap, pull out their comrades, and wait for Guo Xu to kill the encirclement, the archers must launch all the arrows in the shortest possible time, kill the pursuers by shooting dense volleys, and then withdraw with swords.
A hundred soldiers threw off their armor, marched straight forward, and rushed towards the Huns with a thunderous shout. Every time the Buddha kills the Buddha, when the father kills the father, leans over and cuts the horse's legs, jumps up to pick the head, the blade is splashed with blood and rain everywhere, and the voice of the person is terrible when the knife falls. The Huns are not waiting to be slashed and killed, although they can't impact and trample at the moment, they are still fighting desperately. The commando team of 100 people gradually thinned out, and when there were more than 30 people left, they met Guo Xu's team head-on. Guo Xu commanded the cavalry to block on both sides, holding these brothers who risked their lives to help. It's as if they're running through a jungle of knives, snatching a life from the ferocious Grim Reaper next to them. But they are not mortals pinched by Nuwa with yellow clay, they are evil gods fashioned by Chiyou with blood, and they have enough murderous energy to break through the fetters of the enemy and kill them in the open field.
The archers, who were anxiously waiting, immediately released their anxiety.
Dense and noisy arrows like locusts swept over the heads of the Survivors and stabbed diagonally into the swarm of enemies that followed.
Guo Xu galloped past the infantry and told them to withdraw quickly. His cavalry, men and horses were so tired that they could no longer shoot and cover the infantry.
The temporary commander of the infantry raised his knife and knocked his helmet to greet Guo Xu, and then waved him to hurry up.
Yao Annihilation Leopard commanded the people to retreat a little back, out of range of the Jin archers, but the people behind came up and said that they couldn't retreat, because General Helian's men had already come up. Suddenly, an envoy came running with a sword and announced Helian Bi's order:
The scouts knew that the main force of the Jin army was in front, and the army should attack quickly, and if Yao Annihilated Leopard could not dare to fall into battle, he could behead him.
Yao Annihilation Leopard secretly cursed, and ordered the entire Extinguishing Leopard Battalion to move forward at full speed.
When the Huns charged and released arrows, when their range overlapped with the range of the Jin army, two clouds of arrows rained through the air, and the people on this side fell off their horses and those on that side fell to the ground. When the Hun cavalry finally rushed to the front, the remaining Jin archers drew their swords and roared for the final battle. After a brief exchange between the two sides, the Leopard Exterminator Battalion marched forward at full speed with the blood of both the enemy and us.
They are still in disgrace, because their banner is still in the hands of the enemy.
There were only thirteen cavalry and twenty-five or six infantry left around Guo Xu. The cavalry did not dare to run too fast, then the infantry would be completely deprived of cover, and in the blink of an eye they would be trampled into pulp.
Guo Xu has already made up his mind: My life was exchanged for these infantry brothers, and even if I die, I will die with them.
If I leave them behind, what will I say to my women when I go back? What will I say to my children in the future?
The pursuers are getting closer.
The sound of the Huns' iron hooves hitting the earth can shake people's hearts out.
God bless Huaxia, keep a few iron-boned Han seeds.
The sky is speechless.
Because if you don't have it,
Climbing over a small dirt slope, a long metal wall suddenly appeared in front of me.
Phalanx!
Seeing Guo Xu and his people, the Jin army who were waiting in formation broke out into a burst of cheers.
The desire to survive erupted among all the fugitives, sustaining them to hasten into the arms of the army.
The light horsemen on both wings of the phalanx did not wait for the main general to give the order, and they had already opened their bows and blades, and suddenly the horses ushered in, like a pair of hot hands of brothers.
Yao Zhanbao reined in his horse and sighed, if he couldn't defeat the Jin army today, the military flag would never be taken back, and this great shame would crush all the brothers.
Hatred could not be quenched, and he reached out and took a bow from the hand of a knight next to him. It was the kind of hard bow he liked. He straightened up in the stirrup, drew his bow to the farthest it could bear, and with a thunderclap unleashed a long arrow with a barb on its blade.
It was supposed to shoot Xu Zhihao in the back, but before it arrived, Xu Zhihao's horse was so tired that it suddenly collapsed, leaving Xu Zhihao aside, so it missed its owner's target and continued to fly forward.
It can't fly that high forever. It lowered its altitude and continued to fly, and finally encountered the first row of the Jin army's formation, and with a thud, it drilled deep into a shield. The shield was red, with a beast's head painted in black paint, and the arrow was stuck right in the beast's mouth.
The shield-bearers were cheering for their men to regain the enemy's flag, not even noticing the uninvited guest.
At the same time, a row of bullhorns whimpered, and Helian Xuan's main cavalry had already finished arranged.
The leopard extermination battalion that took the lead was almost brave, but it was not as sharp as it was when it galloped out of the camp today.
The Beifu soldiers are really not easy to deal with.
If they knew that in the hills on the flank, there was another group of Beifu soldiers who were recuperating and waiting for a high position, their liver and gallbladder would be shattered.
Chen Song slowly slid down from the hill bag.
Guo Xu is good! Xu Zhihao is good! The cavalry is good! The infantry, made up of prisoners, is also good!
Of the 200 officers and soldiers, there were less than 40 left, and the price was high.
But to lure a big fish of more than 20,000 people to the hook, it's worth it!
He smiled, for the sake of the upcoming victory.
But the scene of Guo Xu's hard battle flashed in front of him, and the brothers who were trampled to pieces flashed in front of him, and he slowly sat down and closed his eyes.
A man's tear grew out of the corner of his eye. (To be continued......)
