Chapter Seventy-Four: Capture the Thief and Capture the King First
An Aquila guard dragged the opponent's flag to the ground, hooked the pole on his horse, and dragged it on the ground.
Seeing that the general's flag was cut down, the Mingguo army was in chaos, and regardless of the Shiguo soldiers in front of them, they surrounded Gu Qiuyu's position, and the Sky Eagle Guard surrounded Gu Qiuyu in the middle, and knocked down several people in a blink of an eye.
Gu Qiuyu asked one person beside him, "Are there any other commanders?" ”
"Not here!" the man said, gasping slightly.
Gu Qiuyu shook his spear and pointed to the other side: "Let's go up there and take a look!"
Everyone nodded, coming and going in the Mingguo army formation, as if entering a no-man's land.
Yang Dutong only brought five hundred light cavalry and five hundred infantry, just to attack the Shiguo army from two sides, it was not a tactical surprise, nor was it to win with one blow, but in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were killed by the Sky Eagle Guard, and even Yang Dutong was dead, and this army soon began to collapse.
Pan Zhijun was also shocked when he saw that Yang Dutong's military flags had fallen on the hillside, and immediately ordered the heavy cavalry to charge down the slope. But seeing that bursts of arrows were shooting like rain in Shi Guo's army, he couldn't rush over for a while, but the two-sided strategy he had set for a flank became two lonely troops, allowing people to break through each other.
When the right flank was attacked just now, the Shiguo army did not fully attack this army, but was on guard, the middle troops did not move, and they did not shoot arrows, and more than 200 Shiguo soldiers were surrounded in the Mingguo array in the chaos, and Gu Qiuyu gathered with these people while rushing.
Gu Qiuyu kept giving loud orders, restraining the soldiers to charge forward as best they could, and these more than 200 people divided the army of Mingguo into two parts.
At this time, the horn sounded on the hillside, and Mingguo's heavy cavalry had not yet entered the Shiguo army, and the army on the slope had not come down far, but it was blocked by the bow and arrow under the hillside, and it was impossible to fight together on both sides, and the main commander under the slope was also killed, and now it was divided again, and if there were any more commanders killed, there would be no cooperative attack.
When the ambushers heard the sound of the trumpet, they all retreated, apparently preparing to retreat to the mountain and reorganize their troops.
Gu Qiuyu didn't know how to deal with it, but he heard the sound of an eagle horn in his army, which was an order to stop the attack.
The Mingguo army retreated little by little, seeing that the Shiguo army had no intention of attacking, everyone was in a hurry, and they all accelerated to the slope to ride their horses, coupled with the heavy cavalry in the center of the slope, the scene was crowded and chaotic for a while.
Pan Zhijun watched under the banner, and suddenly said in his heart, "It's broken." ”
Sure enough, the Shiguo cavalry was just looking for an opportunity, and when they saw that the cavalry was in chaos, they rushed over like a tide in an instant, and the Mingguo cavalry on the top of the slope, holding a longbow, didn't know whether to release the arrow.
"Your Excellency...... This. An archer commander came to Pan Zhijun's side with an ugly face, and now the bottom has become a mess, regardless of enemy and me, if you release arrows at this time, you will hurt your own people.
Pan Zhijun's face was hesitant, and he couldn't pay attention for a while, and the Shiguo army rushed up while his heavy cavalry was retreating, which he never expected.
The heavy cavalry was cumbersome, and the speed was not as good as the light cavalry, and it was still uphill, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to the light cavalry of the Shi Kingdom, and the advantage was gone.
It can be seen from the previous charge that this Pan Zhijun is not a good general, although he is a little strategic, but he is still too conservative and indecisive, and now he can't make up an idea for a while, just watching the battle from the sidelines.
But the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and in less than a moment, the heavy cavalry under the mountain was in a state of rout.
Due to the hot weather, the raid was stopped again, and after the confusion just now, the men and horses were out of strength, and the light cavalry of the stone country surrounded the heavy cavalry on the hillside at this time, and there was no way to escape.
"Sir, give the order quickly, our army is a heavy cavalry, and we can resist more arrows. The brothers under the mountain can't hold out for long!" An adjutant general came to Pan Zhijun's side, looking anxious, he knew this coach better than anyone else.
Pan Zhijun gritted his teeth and waved with one hand, "Release the arrow!" In his heart, he was also lucky that his heavy cavalry armor could block the bow and arrow.
"Huh!" a dense rain of arrows fell from the sky and fell into the battle group on the mountainside, and suddenly screamed again and again, and the soldiers in the middle wailed and fell off their horses, some of them from Shiguo and some from Mingguo.
After a rain of arrows, although the casualties of the Shiguo army were not large, the cavalry surrounding Mingguo was still shot down, opening a small gap, and the Mingguo cavalry began to attack.
Pan Zhijun nodded, and was about to order a second round of arrow rain attacks.
Suddenly, there was a shouting sound beside him, and I saw that his own soldiers not far away fell to the ground one after another, and a woman with a black body rode a horse and ran ahead, followed by forty or fifty people in different clothes, each holding a short crossbow in his hand, and the murderous was awe-inspiring.
"It's the Aquila Guard!"
In the Mingguo array, I don't know who shouted, there was a panic in the formation, and the junior officers hurriedly pacified the formation, but with little effect, at this time, the Sky Eagle Guard had already bypassed the mountain camp, and came to the soldiers and raised the short crossbow in their hands is a burst of point fire.
The soldiers of Mingguo were shot down twenty or thirty people on the spot, and a gap was opened in the rear of the formation, and the Sky Eagle Guard rushed in without hesitation, and changed their weapons to impact back and forth in the formation, and several internal qi masters were even more invincible, killing one person with one move.
"Quick, release the arrows! Stop them!" Pan Zhijun's adjutant general saw that the gap in the rear was opened, and immediately rushed over, commanding the army, the soldiers of Mingguo heard the order, stabilized their positions, and dozens of people were preparing to draw their longbows and start to counterattack.
Suddenly, a black shadow leaped into the air and flew towards the lieutenant, who had just noticed that he was knocked off his horse by the black shadow, and at the same time a short sword was stuck in his chest, and he was nailed to the ground alive.
The black shadow was He Hua, as soon as she heard this deputy general appear, she stabilized Mingguo's soldiers, knowing that this was the main commander, and killed him with the first shot.
This was just a blink of an eye, the deputy general died, the soldiers who were about to shoot arrows were killed by the Sky Eagle Guard, and the dragons in the rear of Mingguo were leaderless, and they began to mess up again.
Pan Zhijun saw that the rear was already in chaos, his 3,000 men were divided into four parts, a small part was still guarding the camp on the slope, and the main heavy cavalry was blocked only a stone's throw away, but could not come up.
The forward part of the slope was firing at the Shiguo army, preventing the Shiguo cavalry from rushing up.
In the end, he was attacked by the Sky Eagle Guard, for these dozens of people, he had to dispatch hundreds of people to prevent them from approaching, in this case, he could only retreat to the barracks, and then regroup after gathering, he couldn't care about the life or death of the Mingguo soldiers in the middle of the hill now, if he didn't go, wait for the Shiguo army on the hillside to rush up, and then he couldn't leave if he wanted to.
Thinking of this, Pan Zhijun was decisive, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to give the order to retreat.
At this time, a figure rushed up from the bottom of the slope single-handedly, the speed was extremely fast, several waves of arrows were shot away by the spear in the man's hand, and several shots hit his body, but they were bounced away, obviously practicing internal qi.
This person is Gu Qiuyu, just now he was encircling and suppressing Mingguo's heavy cavalry in the hillside, but he heard bursts of shouts and killings on the hillside, so he expected that He Hua had already succeeded, so he immediately rushed to the hillside.
As soon as Gu Qiuyu went up the hillside, he saw Pan Zhijun commanding everyone to retreat, and without saying a word, he picked up his spear and rushed towards Pan Zhijun.
Pan Zhijun saw a young man murderously killed, he didn't dare to underestimate it, and ordered the guards around him to step forward and stop him, and the five guards got the order, reined in the horse, and rushed towards Gu Qiuyu.
Gu Qiuyu didn't care about anything else, picked up the spear in his hand and swept forward, the body of the spear exuded ripples of internal qi, and instantly swept the five guards off the horse, and the figure did not stop, and continued to rush forward.
"Stop him!" Pan Zhijun panicked, he saw that Gu Qiuyu was brave and invincible, and ordered the soldiers around him to intercept him again and again.
But Gu Qiuyu's speed was too fast, and as soon as the soldiers reacted, Gu Qiuyu rushed past them, raised his spear and stabbed Pan Zhijun.
Before Pan Zhijun's knife came out, he was pierced through his body by the blood-stained spear, Gu Qiuyu struck up, picked Pan Zhijun in the air, and shouted in his mouth, "The enemy general is dead, and he will not surrender!"
Pan Zhijun did not die at this time, but struggled in the air, the spear passed through his chest, and the blood flowed down the body of the spear.
