Chapter 236: The momentum is like a bamboo

When Shi Hu heard this, he said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about this, the city has been attacked for days, and most of the defenders of Great Thorn City are injured, besides, our army has more than 100,000, and Murong Hao will never dare to chase after it." ”

"Your Majesty, the five thousand soldiers and horses on the mountains to the north are always a threat to my main army." Kui An said worriedly again.

Shi Hu nodded, looked at Kui'an, and ordered: "General Kui'an, you lead 20,000 soldiers and horses as the right flank, contain the enemy's 5,000 men and horses, and cover the retreat of our main army." ”

"Don't worry, the king will go and prepare." Kui An received the order and turned away from the big tent.

Half an hour later, Shihu's main army slowly retreated, among them, Kui'an led 20,000 horses to monitor and guard against Hua'an's '5,000 horses'.

More than 100,000 troops continued to attack the Great Thorn City, and the soldiers were already exhausted, and after receiving the order to retreat, they all retreated back in a chaotic manner, without any formation at all.

#####

At this time, Murong Hao was standing on the wall of the west gate of the Great Thorn City, and every move of the main army of Shihu outside the city was under Murong Hao's nose.

"Father, Shi Hu has finally retreated, and our army has won." Murong Jun said excitedly.

Murong Hao nodded, pointed to the retreating Zhao army outside the city, and analyzed: "Jun'er, Ke'er, you see, the Shihu army has no fighting spirit, and the soldiers don't even have a basic formation, this is a good opportunity for our army to attack." ”

When Murong Jun heard this, he was surprised and said: "Father, although the Shihu army has lost its fighting spirit, after all, there are 100,000 troops, and the second battalion of the dragon and tiger that our army can dispatch is only 2,000 men and horses, will it be too risky." ”

"The formation of the Shihu army is scattered, the surprise attack will definitely be successful, father, let me lead the troops!" Murong Ke was not worried that Shi Hu had many soldiers, and hurriedly asked his father for his life.

Murong Hao looked at Murong Ke with approving eyes and agreed: "Okay, Ke'er, you immediately lead the second battalion of the Dragon and Tiger to hunt down and kill the Shihu army." ”

"Father, Ke'er will not let you down." Murong Ke clenched his fists and took the order, and went to prepare.

At this time, the second battalion of the Dragon and Tiger, the most elite of the Yan Kingdom, had already assembled at the west gate, and they could go to the battlefield just waiting for an order.

Murong Ke walked down the city wall, stepped on his war horse, and ordered the soldiers defending the city to open the city gate immediately.

After the city gate was opened, Murong Ke led the second battalion of Dragon and Tiger, a total of 2,000 elites, to kill the retreating Shihu army.

"Knock knock knock......" On the city wall, Murong Hao personally beat the drum to cheer for the warriors who went out.

"Warriors, kill ......" Murong Ke heard the sound of the drums, shouted, and ordered the two thousand warriors to split into several ways and kill Shi Hu's army at the same time.

The soldiers of Zhao State, who were on the way to retreat, had long lost the mind to fight, and they also thought that the Yan army in the Great Thorn City must be tired and would not go out of the city to pursue.

It was this kind of careless thinking that made them relax their vigilance, and at this time, the sudden killing of a Yan cavalry led by Murong Ke made the retreating Zhao soldiers panic.

"Yan Jun is here, run!" The first soldier shouted and galloped forward.

This terrifying atmosphere is contagious, and soon, the second place, the third place, so that the entire Zhao army panicked, and the soldiers scrambled to flee, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

"Kill ......"

The confusion of the soldiers of the Zhao State gave the cavalry of the Yan army a chance to kill, and the well-trained soldiers of the second battalion of the Dragon and Tiger were divided into 20 teams with a team of 100 people, and surrounded and killed the panicked Zhao soldiers on all sides.

Blood, broken arms, stumps, on the battlefield, the panicked soldiers of Zhao became lambs to be slaughtered, and were slaughtered by the two thousand soldiers of the Yan army.

This incredible gesture made Murong Hao on the city wall feel gratified, Hua An on the top of the mountain was surprised, and even more made Shi Hu, the commander of the enemy army, feel fear and despair.

Shi Hu didn't expect that the more than 100,000 troops under his command would be defeated by the 2,000 cavalry of the Yan army, and they were defeated very badly, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a defeated army.

The generals of Zhao State were in a panic, and tried their best to reprimand their subordinates, but the formation was scattered, and no matter how severe the reprimand, they could not organize effective resistance, and soon, the two thousand cavalry of the Yan Army completely defeated the more than 100,000 troops of Zhao State, and the soldiers of Zhao State who fled lost their armor and ran all the way along the road to the west.

The more than 100,000 troops under his command had been dispersed, and the elite cavalry of the Yan army was killed from the rear, Shi Hu was very helpless, so he had to follow the rout all the way to the west under the protection of his own soldiers.

In the entire team, the Kui'an Legion, which had a relatively complete formation, was shocked when they saw that the main force was defeated by the Yan Army's elite cavalry, and the soldiers looked at the main army that was scattered to the west in amazement.

Kui An frowned and looked at Yiqiē in front of him, and he was also extremely surprised in his heart.

"General, the main force of our army has been dispersed, let's withdraw too!" A ministry general said.

Kui An looked at the top of the mountain, and then at the Great Thorn City, and immediately understood that he must retreat immediately, otherwise, he may be surrounded by enemy troops on three sides.

"Soldiers, don't panic, follow me to kill a bloody road, kill ......" Kui An shouted, leading 20,000 soldiers and horses to the west.

But the soldiers of Zhao State have been exhausted after a day of siege, and the soldiers under Kui'an are no exception, when they rush out of less than three hundred steps, the original neat formation is all out of order, a large number of soldiers disobey the order, take off their heavy armor, throw away their weapons and flee westward, the generals continue to kill how many soldiers, but still can't stop drinking.

Seeing this, Kui An was also helpless, so he had to leave behind a large number of foot soldiers and lead a small number of light horsemen to break through to the west and escape.

Hua'an, who was standing on the top of the hill, watched the Kui'an army flee westward in a mess, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, the enemy has fled, it's time for us to make a move, kill ......"

"Kill ......"

Under Hua An's orders, the 900 men of the captivity battalion rushed down from the top of the mountain, followed by 600 soldiers on horseback, followed by 300 soldiers on foot.

The scattered enemy soldiers, the fast ones have fled, and the slow ones have become the exploits of the capture battalion, Hua An and the soldiers of the capture battalion under his command rushed into the scattered enemy group, slashing and slashing to their heart's content, and soon the blood stained the battle robes, and the weapons were red.

The two thousand elite cavalry of the Yan State were divided into twenty teams, and after completely defeating the Zhao army, the twenty teams of men and horses were immediately assembled under Murong Ke's orders.

"Soldiers, attack forward with all your might, kill Shi Hu, kill Shi Hu." Murong Ke loudly boosted morale.

When the soldiers of the second battalion of Dragon and Tiger heard the order, they immediately gave up chasing and killing the scattered Zhao soldiers, and went all out to kill Shi Hu, the commander of the Zhao army who had fled.

At this time, the main army of Zhao State had completely collapsed, and Shi Hu only had a capable general and less than a thousand guards beside him, and in the face of Murong Ke's pursuers, Shi Hu was very anxious. He kept waving his horsewhip and sped westward.

The cavalry of the Yan army chased closer and closer, and the soldiers in front of them bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the guards behind Shi Hu, and there was a rain of arrows, and several guards fell from their horses with arrows, followed by a rain of arrows, and several guards fell off their horses and died.

The Yan army's pursuers were already very close to Shi Hu, and the few soldiers at the front could even see Shi Hu running away through the faint moonlight, and Shi Hu's glowing crown was very conspicuous in the moonlight.

"Warriors, it was Shi Hu who wore the crown in front, rushed up and killed Shi Hu." Murong Ke shouted and ordered.

When the warriors of the Dragon and Tiger Second Battalion heard the order, they suddenly became even more excited, and they all swung their whips and rushed forward.

"Your Majesty, the crown on your head is too conspicuous." One of his subordinates heard Murong Ke's shout and reminded.

Only then did Shi Hu understand why the Yan cavalry stared at him, but he was attracted by the crown on his head.

Shi Hu was furious in his heart, took off the crown on his head with one hand, threw it backwards violently, and then lowered his body and ran forward.

The golden crown fell to the ground very dazzlingly, and a Yan cavalryman suddenly stretched out the spear in his hand and picked up Shi Hu's crown.

"The stone tiger crown is here, the warriors rush!" Murong Ke saw a soldier pick up Shi Hu's crown and took the opportunity to boost morale again.

Yan Guojing's cavalry chased closer and closer, seeing that Shi Hu had no way to escape, and suddenly a team of men and horses was killed behind the Yan army, which turned out to be two thousand light horsemen under the command of Kui An and his command.

"King, I will save you." Kui An let out a loud shout and entered from the rear of the second battalion of the Dragon and Tiger.

The sudden entry of Kui An and his two thousand light cavalry suddenly disrupted Murong Ke's deployment to pursue Shi Hu, and the two thousand Yan troops had to temporarily abandon Shi Hu and go all out to meet Kui An's two thousand light cavalry.

"Kill ......"

For a time, swords and spears collided, long swords were red, and Kui'an's 2,000 light cavalry, whose combat strength was far weaker than that of the Yan army's Dragon and Tiger Second Battalion, was defeated not long after the battle, and then fled westward.

At the moment when his subordinates were fighting with the Yan army, Kui An rode his horse to catch up with Shi Hu, and after meeting with Shi Hu, they fled westward together.

After defeating the light cavalry of Zhao State, the second battalion of the dragon and tiger of the Yan army, under the leadership of Murong Ke, once again launched a pursuit of the fleeing Shi Hu.

More than 100,000 troops of Zhao State scattered and fled, and such a big movement naturally aroused the vigilance of Shi Min in the camp.

Shi Min walked out of the big tent and looked at the scattered soldiers who had fled from the front line, not entering the camp but bypassing the camp and running backwards, feeling bad in his heart, and it seemed that the battle ahead had been defeated.

While he ordered his beggar army not to panic and hold the camp closely, he let a small number of soldiers go out of the camp to inquire about the situation, while he himself stood at the gate of the camp on horseback with his whole body clothed.

Shi Hu, who fled all the way to the west, was like a frightened bird, and any movement along the way would make him tremble, lest he be ambushed by the Yan army.

"Not good, there is an ambush." A soldier of the beggar army who ran from behind the hill caused Shi Hu's fear.

"Your Majesty, there is only one horseman, as if it were his own." The subordinate general beside him hurriedly explained.

The oncoming soldiers were getting closer and closer, Shi Hu could see clearly that it was indeed his own person, and a heart hanging high suddenly let go.
