A battlefield.

Elsewhere, the guards had begun to pursue the fleeing Hegel cavalry.

But here, there is still a confrontation.

Seven or eight guards guarded Gebatu firmly behind him, holding scimitars, and watched vigilantly at the guards who had surrounded them.

And this escort army that only defended them was none other than the third battalion of the Fifth Army under Sun Yun's command.

Seeing that the surrounding Hegel cavalry was completely dispersed, a look of despair appeared on the face of Gebatu, who was protected in the middle.

Although the guards were still standing in front of Gebatu, there was no hope in their eyes.

They knew they had nothing left but to die.

Today should be their last day in this world.

In fact, seeing that the other comrades had finished the battle and were chasing the defeated soldiers everywhere to obtain military supplies, while their battalion was still confronting these Tartars, the officers and men of the Fifth Army could not bear it anymore.

A veteran of the escort army saw that the eyes of the guards in front of him seemed to be in a trance, and immediately glanced at his subordinates behind him.

The subordinate immediately understood, nodded slightly, and slowly approached forward.

One-step! Two steps! Three steps!

The guard, who was in a little trance just now because of the collapse of the brigade, suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did those southerners on the opposite side suddenly get so close, and he just wanted to make a move when he reacted that something was wrong, but the opposite side had already launched an attack!

"Wang vigorously do it!"

Yang Wei shouted, and decisively stepped forward in three or two steps, and a flurry of movements smashed the throat of the guards who had not yet come back to their senses!

Wang Dali, who was cooperating on the side, quickly picked up two long axes and swung them left and right, and the guards in the left and right directions subconsciously spread to the side.

And at this moment, a big man as strong as a calf suddenly rushed out from behind Wang Dali, and rushed through the encirclement of those Tatar guards at a speed that did not suit his size, and rushed towards Gebatu in the center, who had not yet reacted!

This sudden change made the field chaotic, and the guards who reacted wanted to reflexively surround and kill Li Erniu who rushed over, but the other guards were not vegetarians.

Seeing that someone was going straight to the enemy chieftain, even if he cooperated, he rushed up and entangled with those guards, dragging them one after another.

And Li Erniu broke through the guard circle of the Tatar cavalry with the assistance of the team, and rushed to the front of Gebatu as if unimpeded with the assistance of other soldiers in the same battalion!

can become the Khan of the Hegel Ministry, Gebatu is naturally not a soft-footed shrimp, seeing that someone rushed over, the purpose went straight to himself and was immediately aroused by ferocity.

picked up the scimitar and roared towards Li Erniu!

Even if he dies, he has to show the other party, they are powerful Hegel warriors!

Sonorous!

As the Khan of the Hegel Ministry, the weapon in his hand was naturally not an ordinary weapon, but a divine weapon made of special metal that was said to have been found from the Western Regions.

At this moment, he collided with the long-handled axe in Li Erniu's hand, and he did not fall behind at all.

After a collision, the two quickly turned around, reflexively slashed backwards, and the other raised their knives to block!

There was another collision, and in the resonance of gold and iron, Gebatu couldn't help grinning, feeling that his hands were slightly hairy!

This southerner man, what a lot of strength!

Secretly, Gebatu's attention to Li Erniu instantly increased a lot, but Li Erniu didn't give him time to think, and he didn't hit it again!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a powerful blow, the long axe slashed hard, and Gebatu could only rely on the special material of the scimitar in his hand to be strong enough, gritting his teeth to take all the attacks.

Ten axes!

It's only a dozen breaths of time, and Li Erniu's guy has been splitting Gebatu ten times in a row!

His tiger's mouth cracked directly, and trickling blood dripped down his arm and fell on the snow, staining the ground with patches of red blood, falling on this snowy night, the abnormal scarlet was conspicuous!

"Chief Nanu! If you don't tie up your hands quickly, if you continue to fight, believe it or not, your Grandpa Li can directly cut off your hands?! ”

Li Erniu smiled, threw down the long axe in his hand and then caught it steadily, his face was full of lightheartedness, it can be seen that the ten axes just now did not consume much of his strength, and he was obviously at ease.

At this time, the only remaining eight or nine Tatar guards were finally surrounded and killed by other officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army, if it weren't for the capture of this slave chieftain alive, these eight or nine people would have been chopped to death by them a long time ago, where could it be delayed until now?

Finally, Gebatu was the only one left.

The guards and soldiers around them surrounded them, but they did not rush up, but instead formed a circle with a smile, and in the middle of the circle were Gebatu and Li Erniu.

Some of the wicked ones shouted loudly.

"Hey, brothers, do you think this slave chief can hold up a few more axes for the two cow brothers? Gambling and losing consciously practice for seven days! ”

"I'll bet on five axes!"

"Little family! Anyway, he is also a slave chief, no matter how much he drops, he should be able to hold out ten more times! ”

"Then I'll bet fifteen!"

"Thirteen times!"

A group of soldiers opened the handicap and called out the number of times they guessed.

And Li Erniu, who was in the field, looked at the comrades around him behaving like this, shook his head helplessly, but didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, and the hand holding the axe tightened a little.

Life in the army is boring, and it has just experienced a battle, and it is also a pleasure for everyone to relax at this moment, and no one will care when there is a big victory and no worries.

Didn't look at the military commander on the side, Sun Yun also came over after arranging the closing matters, and shouted outside that he gambled fifteen times?

Li Erniu didn't care, but the other person in the field didn't think so.

Surrounded by a group of guards, the fierce light in Gebatu's eyes skyrocketed!

He couldn't understand the official language of the Song Dynasty at all, so he naturally didn't understand what the southerners around him were talking about, but judging from their demeanor alone, it was not a good thing, and most of them were laughing at themselves.

And judging by the current situation, they obviously didn't plan to besiege themselves, but let themselves go one-on-one with the man opposite.

Very good, just with him!

If the other party rushes up, there is no doubt that he will be killed instantly, and there is no power to resist, since the other party now wants to fight the Nanren on the opposite side alone, then even before he dies, he has to take him down with him, he wants to let these Nanren see the strength of their Hegel warriors!

Without much hesitation, with a roar, Gebatu waved the scimitar in his hand and swung it towards Li Erniu.

Li Erniu was unhurried, retreated slightly, dodged this blow, and then split Huashan with a force, and then turned to attack again, and slashed towards Gebatu.

It's like turning back the clock!

The scene just now reappears.

Li Erniu's attack was swift and heavy, and Gebatu was beaten without the slightest strength to fight back, barely resisting Li Erniu's attack.

Fourteen more slashes, and Gebatu felt his hands go limp.

And at this moment, Li Erniu on the opposite side let out a long roar, and then without reservation, he slashed down again with an axe!

Gebatu almost formed muscle memory, and subconsciously raised the scimitar to block!

But this time, he didn't completely block it!

Sonorous! Bite!

There was a dull loud sound, Gebatu's arm only heard a click, the bones were suddenly broken under Li Erniu's attack, and the scimitar in his hand was carried out by the force.

The soldiers of the guards who were watching the battle were almost hit and hurriedly raised their shields to block, which saved the pond fish.

And after the bones of his arms were broken, Gebatu felt a sharp pain in hindsight, and he wailed violently, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Li Erniu withdrew the axe and stepped forward slowly, stepped on Gebatu's chest, and sneered: "It's not bad, you carried me a full twenty-five axes, and you can be regarded as a character!" ”

……

Soon, Gebatu, who had no ability to resist, was tied up by a group of guards, and as for his injuries, the military doctor in the army was simply treated, and whether his hand could recover in the future is another matter, but at least he couldn't die.

The scimitar, which was made of special metal and could collide head-on with the long axe made of 100 iron in the hands of the guards, was also put away, ready to be taken back to Yunzhou County with the Tatar chief to be taken prisoner to the prince.

After the end of the first battle, after counting the casualties and results, the escort army quickly cleaned up the battlefield and came to the mouth of the valley where Hegel's department had just sheltered from the wind and snow.

Of course, they also vigilantly put the light and dark sentinels out for miles, and they could respond at any time if there was a movement.

After about two hours, all the soldiers who went out to pursue the remnants of the army and the heavy cavalry led by Guan Ning gradually returned to the camp, and the results of this battle were finally counted.

In tonight's battle, although they themselves have good equipment, casualties are inevitable.

After all, any accident can happen on the battlefield.

According to the statistics of the whole army, more than a dozen people died in the confrontation just now, and there were more than 300 officers and men who were injured for various reasons.

Most of these casualties occurred at the beginning of the collision, when the battle was the most intense, and some soldiers were killed because of the first hand-to-hand combat with someone, because of fear, or some other mistake, resulting in the opponent catching a flaw.

Although the result of such casualties is sad, it is also acceptable.

is normal.

The losses of the Hegel Department were large, and according to the statistics on the battlefield afterwards, the Hegel Department, which originally had more than 28,000 people left, left nearly 18,000 corpses in the battle just now.

In the subsequent pursuit, thousands more were caught up and killed, and this number was around 3,000 to 4,000.

This means that the number of Hegel's cavalry who eventually escaped was around 6,000 to 7,000.

If we get rid of those who have been injured and can't live for too long, and the changes that may occur on the way back, I'm afraid that the number of people in the Hegel Department who can return alive this time will not exceed 5,000!

A full 50,000 people went out on the expedition, and in the end less than 10% went back, how cruel this was, but this was also what the Hegel Department deserved, who let them hit the head of Yunzhou County.

This is purely self-inflicted!
