Chapter 80: Defeated
The ukulele was a little restless all day, always having a premonition that something was going to happen, and sure enough, near noon, three cannon shots were heard. He immediately sent out a horse to investigate, and when he returned, he said that he was offering sacrifices to the gods. Logically speaking, this has already exposed their purpose, and it is impossible for the ukulele not to be suspicious. But as it happens, this day is the winter solstice. Whether it is the Dongduo people, the Mingsha Mountain people, or the Kangle people, they attach great importance to this day, under normal circumstances, there will be a sacrificial activity, because they are in the army, everything is simple, so they put an incense case, offer a few fruits, and the scene is over. I didn't expect Ba Niu to be held so grandly, and the ukulele even led his own soldiers to take a look at the high place, but he didn't find anything abnormal. He reported the news to Chu Han, and Chu Han didn't care too much, neither of them believed it, they dared to go to war with themselves, and they didn't believe that they dared to hold such a major ceremony so blatantly and completely expose their plans to them. But Ba Niu did just that, not because he had much self-confidence, or because he had the absolute certainty of hiding from the world, it was because it was necessary to worship the gods before the war, and there could be no mistakes, and this was not his superstition alone, and every commander had to do it before going to war. It may be a psychological suggestion, it may be related to some mysterious power, or it may be a kind of stylized operating procedure, but the degree of belief in it by the soldiers is far greater than their self-confidence.
In ancient military camps, one position that had to be assigned was a soothsayer. Some generals were even soothsayers themselves, and they had to perform divination before making some major military decisions. The Dondorians were no exception, but they used priests.
Immediately after the sacrifice, Ba Niu gathered the generals and held a final pre-war meeting.
"The revelation is already clear: there is no harm in doing what you want. With the help of heaven, we will do our best, and we will rely on the blessing of the country, and this move will be able to be greatly defeated. May all the kings move forward with all their strength and win!"
He spoke in a tone that was not impassioned, but unusually firm, and made people sound more confident. So dozens of people stood up together, their faces resolute, as if victory was at hand.
Ukulele never dreamed that in his big village, there were countless tunnels lurking. This is when Ba Niu first arrived, he chose a good location to dig it. He angered Chu Han and also made him move the camp. Now thousands of Dondor's people are hiding in these tunnels, waiting for signals from outside. Suddenly, the long rope in the tunnel shook, and countless bells rang in an instant. These people immediately carefully put on the lid on their heads, slowly climbed out one by one, crawled forward, touched the antlers of the Zhaimen, and quietly removed the antlers.
The Dundorites suddenly appeared in front of the Kangle people, and at first they thought it was another attack by the enemy, until they came out to engage in battle, only to find that they had launched a general attack. The sky was full of rockets like a meteor shower, and the entire camp quickly became a sea of fire. Most of the soldiers who got up from their sleep did not have time to get dressed and began to flee for their lives. The enemies in the night, like hundreds of thousands, or even millions, are pouring in. The shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.
At the same time, Chu Han's Chinese army was attacked in the same way. But after all, he was a general with outstanding military genius, and he did not panic when he heard shouts of killing in his sleep. He calmly dressed and gave orders to prepare horses on one hand, and ordered the three armies to hold their positions and not act rashly. This also calmed down the chaotic situation for a moment, but the rout of the front army had a huge impact on them, making them unable to stand on their feet and follow the rout. Only Chu Han's Chinese army tent did not move, and these most elite troops had to hold the last position.
The Dondorians launched three charges in a row, but they were unable to loosen the Kang Le people's position, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. This situation was definitely not good for the Dondorians, and although they had won the first wave of the war, it would have been bleak if they had not completely routed the enemy and allowed them to retain the strength to fight back. So when the news reached the Chinese army, Ba Niu immediately took Liu Xilie, leading two thousand men and horses from the Akiyama Peninsula, to the front of the battle.
Two military geniuses finally met, one destroyed Mingsha Mountain, and the other wanted to destroy the person who destroyed Mingsha Mountain.
Ba Niu rode a maroon war horse, which was much taller than ordinary war horses. Wearing the crown of the nine gods, wearing gold chain mail, wearing an ochre yellow robe on his shoulders, and a big axe that opens the sky is carried horizontally on the saddle bridge, looking like a god descending from the heavens in the firelight. At this moment, he reined in front of the formation, looked at the opponent's phalanx, raised his arms and shouted, and the sergeant behind him also shouted, the sound was like a rolling thunderstorm before the storm was about to come. As the shouts became more and more high-pitched, he looked back at Liu Xilie: "Brother, it's time to kill"!
When Liu Xilie heard this, he was like a beast that had broken free from the chains, raised the big knife in his hand, let out a shout, and rushed straight towards the phalanx of the Kangle people like thunder. Ba Niu followed, and 2,000 men and horses swept over like a landslide.
Chu Han had never seen such a brave army, a moment of vacillation had made him miss the best opportunity to defend, just when his "shield" order had just been exported, Liu Xilie had already rushed to the front of the phalanx, he waved his big knife, and the power of a thousand catties burst in an instant, and the defending general was split in half by him before he had time to raise his weapon! Then he didn't miss the knife, and in a moment, he rushed out of a gap.
Ba Niu's sky-opening axe is also extremely powerful, and the big axe of more than 100 catties carries the sound of whirring wind, like chopping melons and vegetables, and the Kangle people who meet it have been cut off the horse. Everywhere the two men passed, there were corpses everywhere. This kind of shocking scene can only be seen clearly by Lin Shidong, who is standing on a high place.
"I can't imagine that Ba Niu kid is so brave"! He remembered what happened to Li Youlan and Ba Niu when they were children, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: the most talented died the most tragically, the most unobtrusive became the most trustworthy, and he became a bystander. Just as he couldn't stop sighing, the situation on the battlefield had changed.
The huge impact caused the phalanx of the Kangle people to begin to collapse from the inside, and Chu Han's guards had already come into direct contact with Liu Xilie. They surrounded him at the core, and they tried to win in the chaos and kill him. But they were still too light on the enemy, and Yoo Hee-yeol pointed and slashed those closest to him in two with a single sword. Then the broadsword swung and rolled, and a scream followed.
Here in Ba Niu, he has already killed the hinterland of the enemy army, and at this moment, he is looking at Chu Han from afar.
He took the reins with him, and the horse let go of its hooves and rushed up. In the blink of an eye, he came to Chu Han, Ba Niu raised the open sky axe, hugged his head and covered his face, and cut it down.
No one expected him to come so quickly, if it weren't for the quick reaction of the military gate and blocking an axe for him, Chu Han at this moment would have already been in a different place, and his corpse would be on the spot.
"Protect the General"! With a shout, everyone came to their senses and rushed forward one after another, blocking Ba Niu, surrounding Chu Han and protecting him.
In the end, it is the elite of the elite, and the bravery of the Iba Bull cannot be dispersed for a while. Fortunately, Liu Xilie also rolled over, and the two worked together, forcing this group of people to retreat again and again, and Chu Han was also squeezed to the point that he couldn't stand and retreated step by step.
"General! Retreat! We can't stop them at all!"
"Great General"!
"Great General"!
Looking at the eager eyes of these brothers who were born and died with him, and watching them die tragically under the axe and broadsword one by one, he couldn't help but cry on the spot. It's not that they're weak, it's that the enemy is too strong. In the face of such absolute strength, any resistance is meaningless. He let out a long sigh, turned his horse's head, and reluctantly fell into defeat.
As soon as the main general moved, the soldiers also began to stir, and many began to flee with it, and then, more people participated, and almost instantly, the phalanx of tens of thousands of people collapsed. The more than 2,000 people of Ba Niu are like no man's land, like the devil in hell, completely becoming mechanical killing tools, carrying out the most cruel and inhumane unilateral harvesting.
This massacre did not end completely until dawn. Throughout the battlefield, the corpses were piled up and bloody.
