Chapter 41: Who is the Hero (21)
Sharp arrows flew, war horses neighed, and when swords intersected, blood accompanied by screams, human life was like mustard, and purgatory was born.
Close to each other, making judgments, even if he shouted to give Jiang Qi a color, Mu Shun, who fell into the trap, felt like he was losing the other.
It's not that Mu Shun doesn't have the courage to fight, it's not that his strength is not counted, it's that his soldiers and horses are too uncompetitive, and they are in chaos before the war starts, or they organize a defense, and in the face of the attack of the Jiang family's army, they are also vulnerable and defeated in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Mu Shun realized that the rumors were true, and Jiang Jiajun was worthy of the first elite of the Han Dynasty.
Five thousand against one thousand, there is no strength in a battle, when he escaped from the gate, after suddenly killing a cavalry in the oblique stab, Mu Shun accepted his fate.
Needless to say, the cavalry has an advantage over the infantry, not to mention that the army is in chaos, when Li Dan, the deputy general of the leopard cavalry, led the other half of the leopard cavalry to raid the fleeing army, the overall situation was decided.
The surprise attack fell into the trap, Mu Shun desperately fled, perhaps still thinking that Zhang Yang still had a large army to respond, and did not fight to the death, but when he escaped the encirclement, he brought less than 1,000 soldiers and horses with 5,000 soldiers and horses, except for the killed and wounded, most of them chose to raise their hands and surrender.
But Mu Shun's expectations seemed to be disappointed, not to mention that his escape would attract more enemy troops to Zhang Yang, but to say that at the moment, Zhang Yang was already too busy to take care of himself.
Zhang Yang's dispatch of troops this time looks like a fierce momentum, but in the final analysis, all his elites let Mu Shun go to steal the camp, and now there are more than 10,000 followers around him, most of whom are young and strong temporarily captured by Xu Liang, all of them are recruits, and they have never fought at all, let alone in formation, when they saw the cavalry charge, they did not throw away their weapons and escape, they were already considered warriors.
At present, the cavalry led by Jiang Qi repeatedly rushed to kill, at first Zhang Yang calmly waved the command flag to command the enemy, but he couldn't get a response at half-sound, he reacted, most of these soldiers and horses have not been trained, and they can't understand the order flag at all, and in the end they can't, only oral orders, resist step by step, and prepare to make peace with Mu Shun.
It's just that the person who is targeted by Jiang Qi, he wants to leave easily, which is not realistic. What's more, the rise of the already killed, no one can stop Jiang Qi's actions at all.
"Dead open ......" blood-stained robe, he hasn't rushed through the battle for a long time, Jiang Qi seems to have returned to the time when he fought the Yellow Turban, but now the weapon is more in hand, and he is more happy.
"It's really like a mustard for our army, Jiang Qi! A certain family depends on how good you are! "He is also a general, Zhang Yang is not lacking in courage, and when he sees that the situation is unfavorable, he immediately leads by example, hoping to save the morale of the army. When a knife split the opposing enemy horse, Zhang Yang also found Jiang Qi with abnormal armor, and immediately knocked the war horse and went straight away.
"It's a good ......" is worried about delaying too long and causing trouble, after all, he has so many soldiers and horses in his hands, as soon as he saw Zhang Yang facing him head-on, Jiang Qi smiled, and then a whirling cherry shot down a few spears and went up.
'Ding', 'Ding' and 'Ding' alternately passed by, but in an instant, the knife and the halberd resonated, and sparks flew everywhere, Jiang Qi didn't expect that he made three moves in a row, and Zhang Yang caught them.
But maybe it was dark, Jiang Qi didn't see his surprise, Zhang Yang, who had suffered three moves, was not very good, and it could be said that he was embarrassed, not only could he not lift the weapon in his hand, but there was blood in his mouth, obviously he was injured internally.
"Not bad! can solve Jiang's three moves, and he is considered a general! Again! "On the battlefield, there are mostly one-hit kills, and at this moment, someone can take his killing move, Jiang Qi is more happy than the victory, turns the horse in the middle, and rushes forward again.
It's a pity that Jiang Qi overestimated Zhang Yang, and when he waved his weapon again, Zhang Yang, who was almost unable to sit on horseback, was already waiting to be killed.
When Jiang Qi came on horseback, the painting halberd rotated in the air and accumulated, Zhang Yang seemed to see his former friend, who was also the same heroic and the same painting halberd, but unfortunately there would be no more day to meet.
'Ding' Zhang Yang closed his eyes and waited to be slaughtered, and in a moment, a sudden sound interrupted his despair, and when he looked back, he saw a young man wearing cloth armor riding a tall war horse, and the spear in his hand had blocked the thing that took his life.
"General, don't panic! The dragon is also ......"
"It's kind of interesting!! Then Jiang Mou depends on what you are capable of!! ”
Fighting on the battlefield has never allowed the benevolence of women, not to mention that when the enemy is outnumbered, even if Zhang Yang has been injured in the move, Jiang Qi has no intention of accepting the move, if he can exchange Zhang Yang's head for the end of the war, he is happy to do it.
It's just that he didn't expect that when he was about to cut off the enemy's head, the spear that suddenly came sideways blocked the momentum of his ambition, but the slight shock brought by the halberd in his hand made Jiang Qi even more excited.
"Use your head to make my Dragon Family's steps today!"
As early as the beginning of the war, seeing the companions who kept fleeing, Long Yan suddenly felt the might of the Jiang family's army, and wanted to be the enemy, but he was carried by the deserters and retreated.
But everyone else fled, but Long Yan didn't think so, when he was in danger, Fang showed his true colors as a man, when an arrow shot down the lone enemy horse, grabbed the horse and grabbed the spear, and then went towards the banner of the Chinese army.
It was also a timely coming, when he saw that a young general was only one round, and after defeating the general who had always kept it in mind, Long Yan knew that the opportunity was coming, and hurriedly greeted it, but he was a little surprised, and he didn't think that the enemy general would be so strong, if he wasn't fully prepared, maybe he would have fallen off the horse.
Although he was surprised, the commander who couldn't resist the rescue was excited, and immediately raised his spear and greeted the dragon for the sake of his ideals.
"Daxu herald! The whole army retreated, retreated, and returned to the city!! Even if the fatal blow was blocked, the halberd blade of the painted halberd made Zhang Yang feel death, although he was very grateful to the little soldier who came out of nowhere to save his life, but he understood that tonight's sneak attack not only failed, but also fell into the trap, and after turning the horse's head to get rid of Jiang Qi, he hurriedly ordered.
"General! Fall back?? If you go back to the city now, then General Mu will do? Hearing Zhang Yang's retreat order, the generals were like being amnestied, just like the ambition when they first engaged in the battle, and now under Jiang Qi's cavalry repeatedly rushing and killing, no one has the heart to fight anymore, only the rational generals heard the order and said worriedly.
"Mu Shun, Mu Shun...... The whole army listened to the order, gathered their generals, broke through, broke through, and rescued Mu Shun's former army ......" was reminded that Zhang Yang, who was seriously injured, did not forget his love for the general, and now the war is unfavorable, and he is injured again, if there is no available general to return to the city, it will be sooner or later to fall, and Zhang Yang immediately gritted his teeth and changed the order.
"General!! The army is already in chaos, it can't be gathered at all, if you charge again, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the city, the soldiers of the First World War are already frightened, and the field battle is not at all! "For Zhang Yang's sudden change of order, it is possible to save Mu Shun's life, but some people are worried.
"If the city is gone, it can be recaptured, and there are thousands of our brothers in front of us, and a certain family cannot be left behind. That's it, the defeat is like a mountain...... Zhang Yang, who is still willing to follow, will go!! Those who don't want to go are ......" The situation is changing, unexpected, and I didn't expect to be defeated so completely, so that there was no way to live, just like his subordinates were worried, Zhang Yang could also see that if Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses rested, he would have no chance to form a formation again, and the eldest son was destined to never go back.
"Retreat, retreat ......" is also helpless, retreat may die in the chaos of the army, the future of the advance is uncertain, and the last large number of people, in the sound of retreat, still follow Daxu.
It's just that Zhang Yang ran away, just now he was still counting on saving the coach, and the young man who could get ahead in the first battle completely wasted his expression.
"Not bad! You can take ten moves on the battlefield, you are the first person, surrender now! Ben Hou can spare your life! Seeing that the enemy army Daxu had broken away from the pursuit of the department, Jiang Qi, who was dragged by a kid, was very speechless, and he didn't think that Zhang Yang could break his wrist as a strong man, but when he turned around, he said with appreciation.
"Surrender! Yan has never heard of this word since he was a child, if it weren't for the incompetence of the blade today, a certain family would have cut off the dog's head...... "If you lose, you won't lose the battle, even if you fight for the second time, Long Yan will realize that he is holding up, and now the tiger's mouth has been broken." But the man's anger is not reduced by half.
"Good!! It's a man, and a certain family will convince you to lose!! "Lost the Mulberry Yu, although it is a pity that Zhang Yang was not left, but the young man in front of him gave Jiang Qi enough compensation. However, for the rudeness of the rebellious people, Jiang Qi laughed terriblely.
Immediately, I saw Jiang Qi's wrist turn, and the blood-stained Tenglong halberd was inserted into the icy earth with a 'bell', and then looking back, a three-foot short sword slowly came out of its sheath.
"Insult me!! Looking for !! Death In his heart, he had the consciousness that he couldn't retreat with his whole body, but when Jiang Qi abandoned his long weapon and drew his sword, the dragon was on fire, and regardless of the pain in his hands, he rushed out first with a knock on the horse's belly.
"Look who's looking for death!" There is no longer the heart to fight, plus the dismount is powerful, shaking the reins of the horse, Jiang Qi did not stay any longer.
When it comes to weapons, the battlefield is mostly long blades, just like Jiang Jiajun, there are more than a dozen generals, but in wartime, short soldiers are not used but Dian Wei and Wang Yue. And at this moment, Jiang Qi suddenly pulled out his short sword to fight, and he didn't blame Long Qi for feeling insulted.
But when it comes to self-dying, it's too much to think about, only to see that in the alternating sound of horses' hooves, the two passed by, Jiang Qi picked up one by one, and the sword easily blocked the spear close to Zhang.
Then with the speed of the horse, Bao Feng went down the spear body, and the dragon who was immediately forced to let go of his clenched hand, and then when the dragon who reacted returned the spear with one hand, it was too late, and the tip of the sword that went down was almost to the chest, and out of instinct he had to hide and avoid injury.
But when Long Yan hurriedly got up to prevent Jiang Qi from turning around and sneaking attack, the war horse that sat down was as if it had been hit hard, and he screamed one by one and threw him out.
fell to the ground, but Long Yan didn't dare to care about the injury, and quickly dodged the possible plot, but he was still slow, and when he regained his senses, the sword was on his neck.
"Tie up!! The herald ordered the whole army to retract, no longer go to the eldest son, and go with the enemy to cover up...... "Relying on the cooperation of the mount, he captured the roadblocker with one blow, Jiang Qi no longer had any scruples, and immediately ordered.
'Woo woo, woo woo woo ......' With the rapid sound of the horn conveying Jiang Qi's order, the leopard riders who were still rushing around to kill quickly returned to the building, and when Jiang Qi pulled out the halberd, a new plunder was about to begin.
Zhang Yang was right, he made a quick decision and did not return to the eldest son city, leaving the last capital.
With a battle, the battle until dawn, the eldest son city to the official road of Fa Jiu Mountain, the corpses are all over, the blood is spreading, Zhang Yang raised troops out of the city nearly 20,000 horses, after rescuing the remnants of Mu Shun, only more than 7,000 people were released, the rest surrendered, and nearly 3,000 people died in the battle.
Later, when the rows of captives were lonely and attached to the eldest son city, the defenders who got the news of Zhang Yang's fiasco, did not resist anymore, and returned to the Jiang family army with the cheering people in the city.
At this point, the rule of Shangdang County fell into the hands of Jiang Qi, which also means that the battle of Shangdang is basically over. And Zhang Yang, who escaped, although Jiang Qi left regrets, it didn't cause him much more obstacles.
Fleeing all the way south, after three days of rest in the Hyun clan, Zhang Yang collected grain and grass and went south again, and finally stopped at Gaodu, the city closest to Hanoi.
In the face of Zhang Yang's behavior, Jiang Qi did not do too much persecution, and after sending Yang Chou with 3,000 new troops to take over Hyun City, he let it go.
