Chapter 168: Half Moon Slash
The scene in front of him was like a purgatory on earth, full of corpses of Hun cavalry, the last glimmer of hope of the Hugh slaughterer was shattered, looking at the slowly approaching pikemen, his face turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled.
"Don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender" Xu An hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, for fear that this group of killing gods would rush over and stab him to death.
Thousands of Hugh slaughterers also laid down their arms and surrendered on their knees.
Wu Zhao stepped forward and pulled Xu An up, and the reed leaf gun was against Xu An's neck, waiting for Wang Gang's order.
"What's your name, is it Hutu or Han" Wang Gang stepped forward and asked, looking like a Han person.
"My name is .... Xu An is the king of Hutu and the Han ...... Han people, beg the general not to kill me" Xu An's father is Han, but his mother is the sister of King Hutu, half of whom is of Hutu blood, but now he doesn't dare to say it, he only hopes that the general in front of him will spare his life for the sake of the face of the Han people at the same time.
Hearing Xu An's words, Wang Gang suddenly became interested and asked.
"You are a Han Chinese, how did you become the king of Hugh Tu, tell me the truth, but if you hide a little, you will be taken headed"
Xu An's neck tightened when he heard this, and he told the things in the cloud as they were.
"Since you are a Han Chinese, why do you want to act for the tiger and act as a minion of the Huns" In fact, Wang Gang hates these traitors who betrayed the nation and turned around to deal with their own people, but now is not the time to kill Xu An.
"Back to the general, small. The small ones were also forced to be helpless, and the Huns had an army of 40,000, and Hugh Tu couldn't stop them at all. before surrendering to the Huns"
After Xu An finished speaking, he cautiously raised his head and glanced at Wang Gang, his face full of pleading.
"I don't want to kill you, but you have to tell me the situation of the Huns."
"I said, I said" Xu An's hanging heart finally let go.
Wang Gang instructed Wu Zhao to bring Xu An into the stone room, and ordered Chu Yu and Huang Zhong to gather and surrender their pawns. In this battle, 8,000 Hun cavalry were annihilated, plus 1,000 people killed by Fan Zhen, a total of more than 9,000 people. Hugh slaughtered nearly 20,000 people and surrendered more than 5,000. 2,000 horses and more than 30,000 cattle and sheep were seized.
By the time Wang Gang came out of the stone chamber again, it was already dark.
Xu An confessed that there were only a few hundred Hun cavalry in Dingxiang County, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, while there were 1,000 cavalry in Yuanyang County, which was commanded by Dai Mingti, the commander of the thousands.
Dai Mingti is Hu Yanzhuo's son-in-law, who is greedy for money and lustful this time, and likes to beat and scold soldiers. Originally, Hu Yanzhuo still had some convergence. Since Hu Yanzhuo led the troops to the battle, Dai Mingti has completely let himself go. Every day, he was drunk and dreamed of death, sang songs every night, sent soldiers to the Hutu tribe, and captured the Hutu women for his own enjoyment.
Hutu dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and if they resisted a little, they were slaughtered. Many Han people in Yuanyang County also suffered, women were taken away, livestock were looted, and they did all kinds of evil.
The soldiers in Yanmen Pass lit a fire and were busy rebuilding the houses against the backdrop of the firelight.
Wang Gang looked up at the boundless night, the dark sky, without a trace of light. From time to time, I heard the whistling sound of the mountain wind blowing into the valley. Suddenly, Wang Gang felt that his face was cold, and a snowflake fell.
It was the first snow of the year, and it just came unexpectedly.
In Wuyuan County, two hundred miles away, there is no obstruction from the Yinshan Mountain Range here, and snowflakes are sprinkled all over the land two days in advance. It's just a thin layer, an army of more than 2,000 people, is hurrying in the night, and the leader is a general, nine feet tall, with slender arms, wearing bright silver chain mail, and wearing embroidered purple and gold robes.
Carrying this long painting halberd, the painting halberd has two ears, resembles a crescent moon, the tip of the spear at the top, extremely sharp, reflecting the moonlight, emitting a forest of white light, both can stab directly, pick and pluck hooks, it is a sharp weapon used by the cavalry, but it is extremely difficult to use, and it is not available for those who are not strong.
This person is Wuyuan Taishou Lu Bu, who received a request for help from Wudu County, Wuyuan County, so he rushed to the starry night. There are 10 counties in Wuyuan County, and the terrain is long and narrow, and it is about 700 miles long from east to west. It is less than 200 miles long from north to south, and the county is governed in Jiuyuan County, which is about 300 miles away from Wudu. The Huns attacked Wuyuan County, and Wuyuan, Linwo, Wenguo, Heyin, Xi'anyang, Chengyi, and Zhuxian counties were lost one after another.
The Huns were strong, and Lü Bu could only lead his troops to retreat in Jiuyuan County, holding on and waiting for reinforcements from the state. How do you know that the Huns, sent troops to attack Wudu County, Wudu County is located in the easternmost part of Wuyuan County, bordering Taiyuan County, the location is extremely important, if Wudu County is lost, it will cut off the connection between Taiyuan County and Wuyuan County, which is equivalent to cutting off Lu Bu's way back. Lu Bu had to go to the rescue.
Lu Bu brought two thousand foot soldiers, and after four days of rapid marching, he finally came to the boundary of Wudu County, which was less than fifty miles away from Wudu County. Lu Bu was worried along the way, for fear of being ambushed by the Huns, and every time he encountered a dense forest canyon, he had to send soldiers to investigate carefully before he was willing to enter. In front of him, his mood suddenly relaxed.
And at this moment, an ominous premonition shrouded Lu Bu's heart, this is a long-term fight, the perception of danger, at this time, the war horse is also restless, and he can't help but step on the ground, but he refuses to move forward.
Lu Bu raised his eyes and saw a gentle hillside not far away, the hillside was bare, and black shadows emerged from the hillside, and then there was a slight tremor from the earth, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from a distance. Lu Bu's heart suddenly sank, and he secretly scolded himself for being ignorant, the Huns were cavalry, and they would definitely not ambush themselves in the dense forests of the canyon, and the open field was conducive to cavalry combat.
"Array to meet the enemy," Lu Bu shouted.
The soldiers were already frightened on the spot, and the timid even quietly broke away from the crowd, thinking about how to escape. Hearing Lu Bu's shout, he hurriedly lined up the formation, the sword and shield soldiers stepped forward, and the crossbowmen were in the center.
Lu Bu grabbed the saddle and held the halberd in one hand, and rushed towards the Hun army, he wanted to rely on his own courage to buy more time for the soldiers.
Seeing the Hun cavalry rushing to the front, Lu Bu took the lead in snatching people, the halberd swept across, the crescent-shaped halberd was hurriedly swung out, and rushed head-on in the middle, more than a dozen Hun cavalry suddenly had a pain in their chests, and were cut into two sections, their upper bodies brushed to the ground, and their hands and legs were still on the horseback, and they took more than 100 steps forward with the war horse before they fell. Blood splattered, and the moonlight was extremely scary.
The momentum of the Hun cavalry was stunned, Lu Bu rushed into the crowd, and the halberd swept around again, and suddenly all the Hun cavalry around was cut into two sections. In just one shot, Lü Bu killed more than fifty Hun cavalry.
