Chapter 213: Bloody Battle Valley

Just when all the Xiliang soldiers saw hope and were about to go out of the valley and turn back to Wei Yan to settle accounts, several veterans who rushed to the front suddenly turned to the slopes on both sides, and under the hesitant gaze of their companions, they made the same movement almost at the same time, putting their right hands next to their ears and listening carefully. Others simply lay on the ground and listened with their ears sideways.

Seeing this action, the Xiliang soldiers stopped almost at the same time, and then more people stopped under the reminder of their classmates and looked anxiously in the direction of the valley exit.

The experienced Xiliang soldiers soon heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, yes, horses' hooves, and there were at least a thousand horses. The sharpness of the battlefield made them clench their weapons again almost at the same time, and began to concentrate their teams, as long as they saw the opponent clearly, they would decide whether to fight or continue to retreat.

Soon there was a terrible shout from his companions on the hillside not far ahead: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

Everyone's expressions began to speed up in an orderly manner, and they needed to kill the enemy at the same speed as the enemy who came to intercept them.

Zhao Yun, Weitong, Du Peng, Han * Meng and others rushed to the front of the team at the north exit of Dadingling. However, all the generals had very serious expressions, this was the first real test since the formation of the team, and the enemy was the cavalry that crisscrossed Liangzhou.

The horses' hooves were trampling, the two sides continued to approach, and all the Xiliang soldiers turned from self-confidence at the beginning to panic, because there were actually 2,000 people who copied their back road. Although their Xiliang soldiers were brave, they still had Wei Yan's five or six thousand people chasing behind them, as long as they were delayed for a while by all the cavalry who had been waiting for a while, they could be shelled here by snails for a mile or two, and once they were surrounded by the enemy's infantry, it would be almost impossible to escape easily again.

Therefore, after the panic of breaking the station, the two military marquis rushed towards Zhao Yun and the others with their personal guards, they needed to use their bravery to deter the enemy, and at the same time quickly kill a bloody way.

Zhao Yun's side rushed to the front not Zhao Yun nor Du Peng, but Weitong, he finally found the opportunity to go to the battlefield again since Paiziling. Originally, he heard that his second brother had participated in the Eighteenth Route Alliance???????????????? In the war of Dong Zhuode, he came to Yingchuan non-stop, and as a result, he was full of confidence and was hit by a group of fierce generals in the Wei Xuan army, but fortunately, his uncle and brother were there, and he was free to follow the two of them early, and the same marksmanship was the same as the teacher, and the progress was not worse than when he was in Changshan.

Now that he has the opportunity to fight Xiliang Bing, he will certainly not miss the opportunity. I saw that he was holding a horse in one hand and a gun in the other, and a spear flew up and down, if Wang Yue was still alive, he would definitely be a little in a trance when he saw it here, because Weitong at this time was about the same age as Zhao Yun back then, and a rainstorm pear flower gun was also very sharp.

Weitong's one man and one horse soon inserted into the Xiliang cavalry formation like a sharp knife, although the Xiliang soldiers were brave, but basically Weitong was one shot.

Of course, Du Peng, Zhao Yun and others didn't dare to let Weitong lead too much, and it would be dangerous to be surrounded by people. They all slapped their horses and rushed into the Xiliang cavalry formation.

So the flesh and blood flew sideways, the screams continued, and the Xiliang soldiers rushed to the front were all veterans with good equestrian skills and a keen sense of smell on the battlefield. But it was their keen sense of smell that made them aware of the crisis.

This should be the most severe test for the Western Liang cavalry since they entered the army! Because Weitong was eager to make meritorious contributions, he went straight to the two Xiliang military marquis who walked in the front, just like Wei Yan killed Song Tao, Weitong only took seven or eight rounds to kill one of the military marquis, and the other military marquis who wanted to assist from the side was overturned by Zhao Yun, who was worried about Weitong. Du Peng and Han * Meng are not good at stubble, and they are also shot one by one in the face of the brave Xiliang soldiers. And there are also young people from the Xin family such as Xin Ai who are also eager to make meritorious contributions.

If Dong Zhuo knew that Wei Xuan had used six thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry, as well as seven or eight generals who surpassed Niu Fu in their personal martial arts, to ambush him, he would definitely scold Wei Xuan for being shameless.

But Wei Xuan had been worried that his subordinates were overtrained and not enough in actual combat, and the generals had no experience in big scenes, and the generals who came to ambush had basically not reached their personal peak except for Han Meng, so it would be a pity to have a loss. So he warned everyone that the lion and the rabbit also need to do their best. Although Wei Yan was very conceited, he also knew that Wei Xuan's equally excellent generals abounded, and he was one step ahead because he came first, but if the science and technology were inferior or even defeated in the war of this crusade, then it would be difficult to catch up if he was surpassed. Therefore, Wei Yan was very cautious, not only dispatched a large number of scouts, but also accepted Wei Xuan's warning, and when it was clear that the 6,000 infantry could completely solve the battle, he still cheekily asked for Wei Xuan's cavalry support.

Wei Xuan's mentality is actually similar to Wei Yan's, he is touted as a victorious general, but he himself knows that the people he faced before were all thieves, basically untrained, and had no battlefield experience. It's completely different from the Xiliang soldiers who are like killing machines!

One thousand Xiliang cavalry pursued Wei Yan all the way and then was squeezed step by step by six thousand infantry in the narrow valley, although they rushed out at the first time, they also left more than 200 corpses, and more than 200 people were injured by bows and arrows.

However, they are fierce Xiliang soldiers, and fierceness and pride are written into their bones. Now they need to break through the enemy's 2,000 cavalry, if they are replaced by the cavalry of any other princes, or even Gongsun Zhan's Baimayi, the cavalry of the Xiliang soldiers has a great chance of rushing out, at least partially it is possible.

But in front of them are several fierce generals led by Zhao Yun and the personal guards who have been following Wei Xuan for a long time! And the people who came up behind were the famous Wei Yan, Wen Ping and Li Yan in the later generations, and the situation was completely different.

The enemy was the elite who had been raised by Wei Xuan'en for many days, and the Xiliang soldiers lost their military horses and military marquis in two brief contacts with the enemy, and the morale of the leaderless Xiliang soldiers declined quickly.

What worries them the most is that there are still five or six thousand infantry chasing behind them, and when they can't help but look back, Wei Yan has already come behind them with more than a hundred improvised patchwork cavalry, but Wei Yan saw that Zhao Yun and the others had successfully delayed the main Xiliang soldiers did not charge directly into battle, but let people scatter on both sides, which was to prevent the Xiliang soldiers from escaping from the hillsides on both sides. The infantry behind Wei Yan was spreading across the valley, and the infantry had begun to line up a hundred paces away, and the agile infantry on the slopes of the two wings also occupied the favorable terrain.

There is a way out ahead, but the enemy is several times outnumbered, and the enemy will be extremely brave. In the rear, dozens of times the size of the infantry were approaching step by step to the beat of the drum. All the Xiliang soldiers will tremble in their hearts with the sound of drums.

Wei Yan finally returned to his position again, and began to copy the back road with three thousand infantry, while Wen Ping and Li Yan on both sides were still very nervous to arrange their phalanx, their main task now was to press the space of the Xiliang soldiers and ice, and at the same time prevent the scattered enemies from breaking through and escaping.

Originally, there were more than 800 soldiers left in the Xiliang cavalry, which was attacked by Zhao Yun and others, and lost seventy or eighty people. But with the arrival of infantry archers, they had to fight on all sides. The whole team became very thin.

In this valley less than two miles wide were crowded with seven or eight thousand men, and it was impossible to take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry. However, in terms of personal bravery, the Xiliang soldiers who fought in close combat did not have an advantage.

As Wei Yan led people to break in from the rear, the Xiliang soldiers finally fell into chaos.

Seeing Wei Yan's infantry coming up, Zhao Yun, Du Peng and others completed the interception task, and the next step was to kill the enemy as much as they could. Zhao Yun, Wei Tong, Han * Meng and other generals were like knives stuck in the mud, smoothly cutting through the phalanx of the Xiliang soldiers, and soon completed the convergence with Wei Yan behind. Then there was the horizontal impact, and with the encouragement of Zhao Yun and others, Wen Ping, Li Yan and others also had the courage to break into the cavalry phalanx of the Xiliang soldiers with their personal guards. Soon the remaining defeated cavalry was divided into four pieces.

And Zhao Yun and the others began to rush in four directions in the center of these four pieces.

It is impossible to break through, and all that remains is to fight to the death. The Xiliang soldiers very cleverly chose to assemble in the rear, wanting to rely on the superiority of cavalry to cut down more enemy infantry.

As a result, the infantry that caught up behind took more pressure, and several times the infantry phalanx almost loosened, forcing Wei Yan not to lead the phalanx to intercept in front again. Fortunately, with the reduction of the number of Xiliang cavalry, the valley can already move forward and backward, and a large number of cavalry began to support any position from the periphery, and Zhao Yun and the others also changed from the previous breakthrough to encirclement and interception again.

And the completion of both sides of the mountain???????????????? Wen Ping and Li Yan of Po Bufang also received Wei Yan's order, that is, let their men send at least 500 men to strengthen the encirclement in the direction of the cavalry to liberate more cavalry to come forward to fight.

The enemy is ten times his own, his own generals are killed as soon as the battle begins, and the opponent's generals are like clouds, but if any other army is replaced, it will have collapsed long ago. But they are worthy of the title of Xiliang's elite, and they have been persevering, although there is no chance of winning or even escaping, they have been fighting.

Wei Yan has asked people to try to persuade him to surrender many times, shouting that those who surrender will not be killed! But it was all in vain. Seven hundred became six hundred, then five hundred, four hundred.

When the number of Xiliang soldiers dropped to four hundred, the attacking side Wei Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he had firmly controlled the three sides, and continued to compress, and there was no possibility of breaking through on either side. But the tenacious Xiliang soldiers did not lay down their arms. On the contrary, because he was in a desperate situation, the ferocity in his heart was also completely aroused, and although most of them had feathered arrows in their hands, they kept slashing at the enemy.

Just when all the Xiliang soldiers saw hope and were about to go out of the valley and turn back to Wei Yan to settle accounts, several veterans who rushed to the front suddenly turned to the slopes on both sides, and under the hesitant gaze of their companions, they made the same movement almost at the same time, putting their right hands next to their ears and listening carefully.
