Chapter 778: The cavalry of the Qin army carrying the head
On the city wall of Shouchun, the war drums beat up.
The sound of the "dong dong" drum came far away, and even Liu Xun, who launched a sneak attack from behind the Qin army, could hear the sound of war drums.
"The main force has already left the city, soldiers, kill with this general!" Hearing the sound of war drums, Liu Xun knew that it was Ji Ling who led the main force of the Huainan Army to kill from the city, and shouted loudly to the soldiers of the Huainan Army who were surrounded by the Qin army.
Knowing that the main force had left the city and had completely fallen into passivity, the officers and soldiers of the Huainan Army let out a roar and counterattacked towards the Qin army.
The Qin army, which took the lead, where would it give them a chance to counterattack, at the moment when the Huainan army launched a counterattack, the Qin army also shrank the encirclement, and forcibly suppressed the Huainan army that tried to break through.
"General Tai Shici killed Ji Ling!" Just when the Huainan army was suppressed and was about to launch a second wave of counterattack again, a shout came from behind the Qin army.
Hearing this shout, the Huainan Army was about to organize a counterattack, but it was immediately suppressed again.
Seeing that the army's morale was already in chaos, Liu Xun hurriedly shouted to the officers and soldiers of the Huainan Army under his command: "Don't listen to rumors, kill with this general!" ”
Liu Xun's words, although did not bring the Huainan army the courage to turn the tide of the battle, but also made their imminent collapse morale greatly improved in the last moment.
At the moment when the Huainan army once again mustered up its morale and was about to launch a counterattack against the Qin army, a war horse went straight into the Huainan army and rushed towards Liu Xun.
It was none other than Lu Bu on horseback.
Entering the Huainan army, Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and swept the Huainan army that was blocking him to the ground.
Lu Bu is brave and brave, and everyone knows it.
On the battlefield, Lu Bu has already become a killing god who is quite feared in the ambitions of all parties.
He rushed into the Huainan army, and there were not many Huainan soldiers who dared to rush forward to fight him.
The officers and men of the Huainan Army did not dare to meet Lu Bu, which directly caused Liu Xun to be completely exposed to Lu Bu's sight.
Seeing that Lu Bu was killed, Liu Xun's heart tightened, and he hurriedly picked up his spear and rushed towards Lu Bu.
Although he rushed towards Lu Bu, Liu Xun didn't dare to have any expectations for being able to knock Lu Bu off the horse.
At the moment when the two horses were about to intersect, Liu Xun burst out, and the spear in his hand suddenly slammed forward, and the sharp tip of the spear stabbed straight towards Lu Bu's heart.
At the moment when the spear was about to pierce Lu Bu, one of Lu Bu's arms suddenly opened, and on the side of his body, he clamped the spear between his ribs.
As soon as the spear was clamped, Lu Bu twisted his body and dragged Liu Xun off the horse.
When he stabbed this shot, Liu Xun originally planned that as long as Lu Bu clamped the spear, he would throw away the spear and ride his horse to the side.
But at that moment, under reflex, Liu Xun did not throw away the spear, but tightened the barrel of the gun.
was dragged off the horse by Lu Bu, Liu Xun secretly screamed in his heart, and as soon as he twisted his body, he wanted to flip an angle in order to get his feet to land first.
But he didn't expect that at the moment when he twisted his body, Lu Bu's hand holding the halberd waved hard, and Fang Tian's halberd smashed up at Liu Xun's feet.
His ankle was hit by a halberd, and Liu Xun's body suddenly lost his balance in midair, flipped around twice, and fell heavily to the ground.
As soon as Liu Xun fell to the ground, Lu Bu raised his halberd and stabbed it towards his heart.
With a soft sound of "poof", the sharp halberd pierced Liu Xun's armor and penetrated deeply into his body.
Pierced by the halberd, Liu Xun almost didn't even have a chance to spasm, and as soon as his body straightened, he lay permanently on this land that he thought would be victorious.
Liu Xun was killed by Lu Bu, which was more shocking than the soldiers of the Huainan Army earlier when they heard that Ji Ling was killed by Tai Shi Ci.
More than 30,000 Huainan troops, who were still struggling to fight, saw Liu Xun being nailed to the ground by Lu Bu's halberd, and their faces were full of astonishment, and their eyes stared at Liu Xun who was nailed to the ground by Lu Bu without blinking.
The Huainan army gradually stopped fighting, and the Qin army also slowed down the pace of the attack, just when the battlefield gradually calmed down, Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand high, and shouted to the Huainan army soldiers present: "King Qin Rende, don't kill prisoners!" If you want to live, put down your blade! ”
Hearing Lu Bu's shout, more than 30,000 Huainan soldiers looked at each other one by one, not knowing whether to believe him or not.
After about half a cup of tea, a few Huainan soldiers finally put their blades on the ground.
As soon as they put down their blades, several Qin soldiers stepped forward and pulled them out of the Huainan army's array.
Seeing that these few who laid down their swords were not killed by the Qin army, more Huainan troops put down their weapons.
The Huainan army that laid down its weapons one by one was protected by the Qin army, and those Huainan troops who had not yet laid down their weapons were compressed by the Qin army to the middle, and more powerful pressure was exerted.
More Huainan troops, unable to withstand the pressure, put their weapons on the ground and were pulled away from their companions by the Qin soldiers.
There are fewer and fewer Huainan troops surrounded in the middle, and more and more Huainan troops are being guarded by the Qin army.
The Huainan army behind the Qin army disarmed, and the Huainan army outside Shouchun City was under the heavy cavalry led by Tai Shici, and it was impossible to achieve the goal of leaving the city.
The news that Ji Ling was killed by the Qin army under Lu Bu was only instructed by Chen Gong to shake the morale of the army.
Although Tai Shi Ci is strong in martial arts, Ji Ling is passive everywhere when he fights with him, but if he wants to kill Ji Ling, Tai Shi Ci will be difficult to do for a while.
The Huainan army that went out of the city was gradually suppressed by the heavy cavalry of the Qin army to the city gate, and fought with Tai Shi Ci for a long time, Ji Ling, who had lost much strength, also rode his horse towards the city gate, and took advantage of Tai Shi Ci not to catch up, and drilled into the city.
"Marquis Lu Wen killed Liu Xun, and the rear wing of the Huainan Army has surrendered!" Just when the Huainan army in the city was still trying to rush out of the city, a Qin cavalryman with a human head on his knife rushed over from the rear, and while riding his horse and galloping, the Qin cavalry was still shouting loudly.
The shouts of the cavalry were not only heard clearly by the soldiers of the Huainan Army under the city, but also by Yuan Shu and Yang Hong at the head of the city.
Hearing that Liu Xun was beheaded by Lu Bu, Yuan Shu leaned out of his hands against the battlements and looked at the cavalry of the Qin army who were galloping towards the Shouchun city wall.
Due to the distance, Yuan Shu could only see that the Qin soldiers were carrying a human head on their swords, and he couldn't see whether the human head was Liu Xun or not.
"That head, but Liu Xun?" Without seeing the appearance of the human head clearly, Yuan Shu hurriedly asked Yang Hong beside him.
Hearing Yuan Shu's question, Yang Hong also hurried to the city wall and looked out of the city.
Yuan Shu couldn't see the appearance of the human head clearly, not because his eyes were not good, but because he was far away from the cavalry of the Qin army.
Yang Hong's vision is no better than Yuan Shu, holding the city wall with both hands, looking out of the city, he can't see whether the Qin army riding on the side of the city wall of the Qing Dynasty is carrying Liu Xun's head.
"Your Majesty!" The cavalry of the Qin army was getting closer and closer, and Yang Hong hurriedly said to Yuan Shu: "Quickly order the soldiers to shoot that cavalry!" ”
"Huh?" Just as he wanted to see if Liu Xun was killed, he heard Yang Hong say that he was going to shoot the cavalry of the Qin army, Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at him.
"If it is really Liu Xun, our army will definitely be defeated!" Seeing that Yuan Shu hadn't yet understood why he wanted to shoot the cavalry of the Qin army, Yang Hong hurriedly said to him: "Even if it's not, the enemy army is carrying a human head and shouting loudly, and our army under the city has no time to distinguish the true from the false, and the army will be in turmoil!" ”
After listening to Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shu realized that if the cavalry of the Qin army approached, the Huainan army was afraid that the battle would be lost, so he hurriedly shouted to the Huainan army on the head of the city: "Shoot the cavalry of the Qin army!" ”
After receiving Yuan Shu's order, a group of Huainan troops standing on the city wall immediately put their arrows on their longbows and shot at the cavalry of the Qin army, who were riding their horses towards the city gate.
was galloping on a war horse, and saw countless arrows flying down from the oncoming city wall, the Qin cavalry hurriedly grabbed the round shield and blocked it in front of him, but the Pu knife that was carrying Liu Xun's head did not put it down.
The arrow shot down with his head covering his face, and the Qin cavalry was blocked by a round shield in front of him, but the war horse under his crotch was completely exposed under the arrow.
Several arrows were nailed to the round shield, and more arrows pierced the body of the war horse under the crotch of the Qin cavalry.
Shot by the arrow like a huge hedgehog, the horse died abruptly in the rush, its two front hooves went weak, it flipped forward a few times, and fell heavily into the dust.
The cavalry of the Qin army on horseback did not have time to jump, and when the war horse turned over and fell forward, he was like a sack that was thrown up, rolling forward and falling out.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Qin army fell into the dust with their horses, Yuan Shu on the head of the city raised his hand and stopped the soldiers from continuing to shoot arrows.
The cavalry of the Qin army who fell to the ground lay quietly, and the Pu knife he used to provoke people's heads before also fell out, and even the shield was thrown out of the distance.
Yuan Shu and the soldiers of the Huainan army at the head of the city were all staring at the soldiers of the Qin army, and just when Yuan Shu thought that the cavalry of the Qin army had fallen to death, the Qin army lying on the ground moved.
The amplitude of his movements was very small, and Yuan Shu, who was still some distance away from him, and the Huainan Army soldiers on the city wall could not see his movements clearly.
The cavalry of the Qin army and the Huainan army who were fighting under the city were still slashing at each other, and no one had time to take a look at him.
"Then Qin Jun is already dead when he thinks about it!" Looking at the cavalry of the Qin army who had been galloping with Liu Xun's head and galloping, Yuan Shu said to Yang Hong beside him: "Pass the order, take Ji Ling into custody, and choose another general to lead the army out of the city!" ”
