Chapter 17: The Bitter Battle
(The second shift is coming~~~1 hour later, the third shift)
I don't know how many people came all over the mountains, they are all dressed as Hu people, these people are superb in riding, skilled in bows and horses, and they are much stronger than the militia under the spotted leopard, these people are also clean and neat in killing, and they are holding curved knives in their hands, and the weapons in the hands of the Han soldiers are bent, and the sharp knives are everywhere, and the heads of the Xia people are different.
Boyan had already converged with Qin Chonghai at this time, and when he heard another movement on the hillside, he saw the smoke and dust rolling all over the mountain, and countless Hu people came out, and he was shocked: "Where did this Hu people come from?"
Qin Chonghai didn't know what to do, and at this time, a scout among the Xia people ran forward and reported: "The Hu people are attacking with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and we have been surrounded by them!"
Qin Chonghai said angrily: "There is no reason for this! There are 10,000 regular troops of the Hu people, and 5,000 people have been temporarily pieced together, all of which are covered by us, where did he go to borrow these 50,000 soldiers and horses, and these people are obviously regular soldiers, and they are definitely not temporary patchwork, could it be that these are the Yin soldiers he borrowed from the Nine Hells! Grandma is a bear, there is no reason for this!"
Boyan said: "Boss Qin is angry. Even if we can't figure it out, these people are already in front of us. Right now, we are already at the end of the crossbow, we can't fight hard with each other, so let's find a way to withdraw!"
Qin Chonghai is also a veteran of the military family, so he has long known this truth, and immediately nodded and said: "There is a road in this mountain col that leads to the wasteland outside. Boss, you evacuate quickly, I will leave 3,000 people behind, and we will meet in the desert. ”
Boyan said angrily: "After the break, I will naturally come, what kind of limelight are you stealing from me!
Qin Chonghai also lost his temper and scolded: "Your brother has become the commander-in-chief, and he has forgotten to be humble! I am your boss, if you call me Boss Qin, you have to admit it, what nonsense are you talking to me at this time! Hurry up and get rid of Lao Tzu!"
Boyan and Qin Chonghai have a righteous relationship, according to the order of eldest and youngest, Qin Chonghai is a few years older than him, so he calls Qin Chonghai Boss Qin. Moreover, Qin Chonghai has a fiery temper, Boyan has a mild personality, and he has always been in the army, Qin Chonghai said yes, and Boyan also agreed. Boyan lost his temper because of Qin Chonghai's words, so he had to withdraw first, but explained: "Three thousand people is too little, I will leave 10,000 people for your palace, and I will lead the remaining 30,000 people to break through." ”
Qin Chonghai didn't have the time to quarrel with him, so he could only agree. Boyan ordered the most elite 10,000 men in each battalion to stay and fight the enemy, hold out for half an hour, and lead the remaining 30,000 men to go first. The military order is like a mountain, the current Han army soldiers all obey the order, Wang Yangming and other seven people stayed as the army behind the palace, and Boyan broke through to the east under the protection of his own soldiers and 30,000 soldiers.
Wang Yangming and the other seven people rushed left and right in the battle array, and killed for a long time, seeing that the mountains were full of dead corpses, and their seven people were already a little weak by this time, and they were afraid that they would be damaged if they continued to kill.
Chen Ba first led the remaining six people to fight in all directions, and when he saw that some of the Han army were divided and surrounded, he went in to save them, and then went to other places to save other Han troops after they were gathered, and then went to other places to save other Han troops, just like that, it snowballed, and it got bigger and bigger, and finally there were five or six thousand people, and Qin Chonghai was also among them, but the old man rushed too far forward before, and was injured by Hu Renliu's arm, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
Qin Chonghai raised his eyes and looked around, seeing that there were no Han soldiers alive in the field except for these more than 5,000 people, knowing that more than 4,000 Xia people had died in this war, his heart was full of anger, but this was not the time to be competitive, so he could only hurriedly order a retreat. Five thousand soldiers slowly broke through to the east, and tens of thousands of Hu people caught up with them for a while, and the Xia people left hundreds of corpses, got out of the mountain pass, mounted their horses and ran eastward.
The Hu people were in hot pursuit behind him, the Han army rushed forward non-stop, and saw the flag waving in front of him, but it was another team of Hu people who blocked the way, Qin Chonghai looked at it at a glance, and estimated that this wave of Hu people was around 10,000 people, and there were 10,000 Hu people chasing and killing behind him. He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, there were 20,000 Hu people before and after, and he only had 5,000 Han troops, and they were all at the end of the crossbow, so he had to explain to himself here today? But he was a big husband who regarded death as home, and he didn't take these to heart, but the Hu people first came 15,000 troops and horses, and then 50,000 soldiers came from the sky, adding up to 65,000, after some fighting, the Hu people lost almost 5,000 people, and he held them back here 20,000 people, and where did the 40,000 people go? Could it be ......
He remembered that when Boyan retreated with his 30,000 remnants, he seemed to have no hindrance, and he was terrified in his heart, and said secretly: Could it be that the 40,000 elite soldiers of the Hu people deliberately let go of a hole at that time, and then chased after Boyan's 30,000 people? If this is the case, Boyan is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious!
The 20,000 people in front and behind the Hu people quickly surrounded it, surrounding the Xia people's 5,000 soldiers and horses, Qin Chonghai saw that the fighter plane was fleeting, and shouted: "Everyone listen to the order and go all out to break through to the east!"
Five thousand people immediately turned to the east, the Hu people saw it clearly, so they gathered all the men and horses to the east, and as soon as the two sides handed over, they heard Qin Chonghai say: "All the staff listen to the order and break through to the west!"
The 5,000 men gave their own orders and quickly moved eastward. Hu Ren was confused, so he had to follow things back and forth. walked back and forth like this a few times, and when people were panicking, he heard Qin Chonghai shouting: "Now give me a fight to the south!"
5,000 people quickly went south, but the Hu people couldn't react and were torn open, and 5,000 people escaped from the encirclement and went south. Hu Ren was tricked, and chased after him in a fit of rage. Qin Chonghai taught the archers to release arrows while running, shooting so that the Hu people did not dare to approach too closely.
After running south for half an hour, Qin Chonghai thought that it was almost time to turn, and ordered everyone to run eastward, it turned out that he calculated the distance, made a detour on the northwest border, went south and then east, and went straight to Jiayu Pass. At this time, people are sleepy and tired, and they are no longer able to fight, Qin Chonghai is scheming, thinking, Lao Tzu is tired, you Hu people should also be tired, and we will be able to run back to Jiayuguan in half an hour, and then Hu Gou will definitely retreat and withdraw the army. As for victory or defeat, it is no longer a matter of concern at this time.
Sure enough, 5,000 people ran to ten miles in front of Jiayu Pass, and when Hu Ren saw that he could no longer stop it, he shouted and retreated. A stone fell to the ground in Qin Chonghai's heart, and then he led everyone to get up and go to Jiayuguan. Seeing that the guards were still there, and the banner was still the banner of the Han army, he was relieved, thinking that the commander-in-chief must have returned with the soldiers. The Han army had already answered at the gate of the city, and Qin Chonghai dismounted and asked, "Where are the 30,000 soldiers and horses brought by the commander-in-chief?"
Among the people who answered was a five-rank lieutenant, who stepped forward to report: "Twenty-five thousand soldiers and horses have returned, according to them, on the way back, they were robbed and killed by 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Hu people, and the commander-in-chief took 5,000 men to personally cut off, and the other 25,000 returned to the city first." I've sent the scout battalion out in full force to find the whereabouts of the boss and the 5,000 men, and there is no news yet. ”
Qin Chonghai was furious when he heard this, and he didn't care about the injury on his hand, so he kicked the five-rank captain to the ground at that time, and scolded: "Confused things! How can you let the commander-in-chief personally cut off the queen! Which of the 25,000 people took the lead, tie up Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu cut him!"
