Chapter 138: Time and Destiny (5)

This is like having three butchers with five big and three thick, holding three sharpened golden ring treasure knives, and slashing at the middle piece of tender tofu that can be easily crushed with one hand.

In these days of constant harassment by the Rakshasa cavalry day and night, the terrifying appearance of these black-faced Rakshasas has long been reflected in the hearts of each of them.

"Run!"

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

"After the others stay in the palace, retreat and retreat!"

The person who rushed to the front has now been in close contact with the other party, and he will definitely not be able to escape, and he can only die faster when he turns around and escapes, and at this time he can only silently stay to resist the other party, which is also a helpless thing, anyway, he can't escape, it is better to help others escape, this is not because they have a fearless spirit, it is really a helpless choice.

Seeing that someone was intercepted behind the palace, and the formation was out of order, the people behind all began to turn their horses' heads and prepare to retreat, but just as they were turning, Leng Buding heard the sound of a bowstring trembling again, and it turned out that the last road of men and horses arranged by Cao Yan had also arrived.

For the soldiers of the patriotic country, the current situation can be described as embattled, there is no escape, a group of people on horses look around, all of them look desperate, their hearts are sad, and they do not know what to do at all.

Walk?

How to get around?

Don't you see enemies on all sides?

Beat?

How to fight?

Don't you see that the team has collapsed?

The morale of the whole team, with seeing their back road being cut off, suddenly fell to the bottom, they now urgently need a person with enough authority, and not panicked to stand up and tell them what to do next, but unfortunately there is no at all, they are now, just a swarm of headless flies, and they don't even have the strength to ramble.

There was no outbreak in silence at all, and the so-called desperate person would burst out with stronger combat power than usual This kind of thing did not happen at all, on the contrary, seeing that the other party had already rushed over, the butcher's knife was waved, and there was no one to stop it, and someone suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "I surrender! Don't kill me, I surrender!"

The people around him were all startled when they heard this cry, and then turned their heads and looked at him with an expression of disbelief, but then, they themselves couldn't help but lower their heads and couldn't help but think about a way out.

At this moment, Cao Yan, who saw that the situation had changed, shouted in a timely manner: "Those who dismount and surrender will not be killed!"

With the emergence of this way of life, it finally completely shattered their resistance heart, many people heard this, regardless of the strange eyes of their companions around them, immediately dismounted, directly threw the weapons in their hands aside, to show that they would no longer resist, and then stood to the side blankly, hanging their heads, waiting for fate to judge themselves.

Maybe they also know that their final outcome may still not escape a dead word, but whether it is a human or an animal, as long as it is a living thing, they all yearn for life and fear death, even if there is only a glimmer of life ahead, they are willing to give everything to fight.

If you don't resist, you will die late at least, but if you resist, maybe someone will survive, but it will never be those who took the lead in resisting from the beginning, it is precisely because of this fluke and selfish emotion, it is precisely because they put all their hopes on others, so in the history of human warfare, it has been repeatedly seen that more than a dozen people are escorted, or hundreds of thousands of prisoners are slaughtered, in fact, as long as they dare to resist together, even if the final result is still death, at least the enemy can pay some price, but the end of the story is often that everyone dies in this silence that outsiders dare not believe。

However, on the battlefield, most of the people who will do this are young people who have not lived enough, they still have expectations for their future, and those veterans, most of whom have put life and death aside, all they think about is to kill a good thing, no matter what, it is impossible to surrender, but such people, there are not many, and once they appear, they are all taken care of, so they die quickly, but it has become a kind of deterrent that can make others fearful.

"Avenge the General!"

But when he saw a veteran with a scumbag on his face, he suddenly rushed towards him, his face was full of resentment and hatred, and he slashed at Cao Yan with all his strength.

Such a person is actually very tragic and pitiful, he may be remembered and praised by future generations, but on this battlefield, there is only you who live and die, and there is no luck, but anyone who is soft-hearted will be killed.

Cao Yan's face didn't even change his expression, he gently clamped the horse's belly, collided with each other at a speed three times faster than the other party, holding the halberd in one hand, it was just a simple forward attack, relying on the advantage of speed and the length of the weapon, the moment the other party didn't react at all, it had already been provoked by him.

"Ahem!"

The old soldier's face was miserable, the man was pierced through the abdomen, picked up in the air, opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood full of fragments of internal organs, and tried to struggle, but the knife in his hand fell weakly from his fingers, and he was already dead after just a blow to the face.

Cao Yan held the halberd in one hand, pointed obliquely at the sky above, his sword eyebrows were upside down, he was not angry and arrogant, he puffed up his middle energy, and shouted loudly to everyone in front of him: "Dismount and surrender!

After speaking, the muscles of his arm bulged, and with a sudden force, he shook the halberd, and the corpse on it was thrown out by him like a broken sack, and fell to the ground with a "bang", and the helmet rolled to the side, under the scattered and dry hair, a pair of godless pupils looked at the distant sky, and a blood-red penetrating wound was clearly visible on the stomach, which was a fatal wound, and the people around them were all frightened and retreated when they saw this, as if it was not their comrades who got along day and night who died.

"Dismount and surrender!"

He shouted again with the power of a single blow, and the other who were still trying to resist looked at each other, sighed, and all dismounted from their horses one after another, and then dropped their weapons in their hands.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Ihuasha, who knew the impact of this battle, was extremely excited and hurriedly dismounted and walked towards this side.

"General, fortunately, I am not dishonored!"

Cao Yan also showed a satisfied smile on his face, he nodded lightly, and was about to say something praised, when he suddenly saw Ihuasha pounce directly on him, and then stretched out his hand and pulled him away from the spot.

Thinking that this Iwasa herself is not an ordinary woman, the power of a whip is enough to whip the skin and flesh of ordinary people, and the strength is not small, plus the two sides are too close, and they are caught off guard, even Cao Yan was stumbled by her, and the figures of the two sides changed.

"You!"

Cao Yan's eyes widened, and before the words fell, he suddenly heard Ihuasha snort, and then turned towards him, followed by a voice full of energy.

"Boy, this arrow, I returned it to you!"

Cao Yan hurriedly reached out and grabbed Ihuasha, who was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, and then turned his head to look, only to see that on the hillside he had just rushed down, there was now a figure he was extremely familiar with, Hu Yanshi!

Hu Yanshi is wearing a set of heroic full-body armor at the moment, and his face has basically returned to normal, obviously it is the rest of the past few days, with his body, he has still recovered, but because his arm is too badly injured, it may be difficult to recover in the second half of his life, so at this moment, it is not him who is attacking Cao Yan with a bow and arrow, but a soldier who is good at archery.

The matter has come to this, needless to say, from the moment he saw Hu Yanshi, Cao Yan knew that he had been tricked.

There is nothing to say, this is not the time to talk about who to blame, if you don't leave quickly, I am afraid that I will have to explain here today, so he didn't think about it, so he quickly ordered: "After the first army and the second army, the third army and the fourth army will immediately follow me to the southwest to break through!"

Ihuasha's old injuries have not healed, in order to save Cao Yan, he added new injuries, even if he was not hit by the vital point, he didn't have any strength to move at this time, but he still raised his head and helped Cao Yan give orders and prepare to evacuate.

"Run, can you run?"

When the enemy meets, where is there so much to say, it's just a quick battle, Hu Yanshi will never be polite to him, just beckoning at the moment, among those who surrendered just now, some people immediately picked up the weapons they dropped and began to explode and kill, but because they had long been guarded by the Rakshasa warriors, the effect was not great, but most of them were killed, but in the end, it still disrupted the rhythm of the other party, and for a while, there was chaos again.

For Cao Yan, the only advantage of this situation is that Hu Yanshi feels sorry for his soldiers, and in order to prevent accidental injury, he doesn't want to release arrows directly, otherwise he is afraid that this side will lose faster.

Just now, it was a good situation of besieging and killing the enemy on all sides, but in an instant, it became that he was trapped in a cage, from heaven to earth, and the feeling of this was not pleasant.

With the order of Hu Yanshi, who was standing on the top of the slope, the shouts of killing shook the sky, but I saw countless battle flags standing up, fluttering in the wind, and I don't know how many people surrounded me from the side.

Cao Yan couldn't help but turn his head and look around, at this time, he finally tasted the desperate feelings of these people below, and knew that the other party must have been premeditated for a long time, because according to intelligence, the Fifth Army, which had been annihilated by himself with more than 5,000 people, did not have so many people to call at all.

But even in a desperate situation, he was unwilling to give up, so he first drew his knife and cut off the shaft of the arrow on Ivasha's shoulder, then helped her, got on the horse with her, and then whispered: "You hold me tight, don't let go." ”

Ihuasha didn't look up, just stretched out his hand and hugged each other tightly, even if he pulled the wound and hurt his bone marrow, he just said in his heart that death was worth it.

"Rush with me!"

This time, there was no need for Ihuasha to translate, and the people of the Third Army and the Fourth Army hurriedly turned around, followed Cao Yan, and walked towards the retreat path that they had originally set for each other.

Hu Yanshi looked at the scene below from above, and couldn't help but smile slightly, because from this simple choice, the other party was already scared in terms of mentality, because that kid didn't choose to directly impact his side, gamble, and escape by capturing the main general, which shows that he didn't dare to fight against himself head-on, which is also the same as what he guessed before, suddenly encountered such a change, no matter how experienced the general is, he will also fall behind in his mentality, not to mention such a young man, so he is in that direction, in fact, he is the most manpowered, but the one who stays by his side is the least。

In other words, if Cao Yan chooses to make a desperate bet and capture the main general, perhaps the chances of success will be much greater.

Not much to say, Cao Yan here is still in the lead, taking the lead in the charge, holding the Fang Tian painting halberd with both hands, his face is sinking like water, and there is no sadness or joy in his heart.

Can't be chaotic, in a desperate situation, only the more calm and calm, the more you can find an opportunity to escape, once it is chaotic, it is not far from death.

Although the enemy came in a hurry, the team could not see the end at all, and after such a delay, they had already set up their formation, and they were ready to fight, using the most common and effective routine when infantry fought cavalry.

Standing at the forefront, is a column of soldiers carrying shields, these shields are very thick, and very large, enough to cover most of their bodies, like an impregnable city wall, in order to block the first wave of the cavalry, even if the enemy is stabbed in the shoulder or neck from the gap, there will be someone in the rear immediately, as long as they can block the first wave of impact and still the formation is not chaotic, the greatest mobility advantage of the cavalry can be directly erased, and then the people in the rear hold spears, pierce forward, stab, kill the horses first, and then kill, like hobs to push forward, once the cavalry faces this iron bucket formation, that is the most helpless time.

It's like a tiger with fangs that sees a hedgehog, and it really feels like I can't get out of my mouth.

Generally this kind of mostly rely on their own infantry to face each other, and then there are two columns of cavalry from the side guerrilla, waiting for the opportunity to disrupt the enemy formation, if you want to rely on pure cavalry to attack, it is the same pointed formation as now, what is important is the ability of the point, this point, the former blood army has been demonstrated when fighting the Jin army, as long as the tip is sharp enough, it can also chisel through the opponent's iron bucket array, and then the other party is cut apart, after the collapse of the army, the cavalry's ability to chase and kill, can be vividly reflected.

And now, Cao Yan is the most critical point, whether he is alive or dead, everything is in his own hands!
