Chapter 252: Where's My Family?! What about my tribe?!
"The cavalry on the left and right flanks, press over and intercept them!"
"Send the order to the wild and kedangnu in the rear formation, and cooperate with the two wings...... Ahhh ”
In the sound of the horn of the herald, he spoke quickly, and the dense cavalry in the rear illuminated by the torches around him was advancing towards Daxu from the rear formation, and the two 10,000 cavalry commanders in the middle had already issued a shout to meet the enemy: "Pay attention to the Yan army behind!" ”
Turning around his horse and giving orders anxiously, he saw two groups of cavalry sweeping like a tidal wave.
The flags danced, the horns sounded, and at the same time that the Xirong formation changed arrays, Su Chen's side heard these horns with different meanings, and he also reacted very quickly, "It must be the champion Hou and Wen Hou who led their troops to kill from behind, and immediately gave the order to the two armies fighting in front of them, let go of the killing-"
Su Chen turned his head to look at Li Xuanba, who was sitting on the hammer more than a dozen steps away, supporting his chin with both hands.
"Xuanba, wear iron armor!"
Hearing this, Li Xuanba, who was originally looking at the front blankly, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly called a few armor soldiers, "Hurry up, help me put on my armor...... Otherwise, the barbarians will be killed by them! ”
Around the shield halberders, Anu Hu led two thousand slave soldiers, as well as Li Dian's five thousand county soldiers were ready, Elsa and Barry more than a dozen red-haired barbarians joined the array, and Li Dian and Lei Tongqi immediately turned their heads to look at Su Chen.
Su Chen's expression was serious, and he raised his hand: "Attack on all fronts, take advantage of the night, and completely disrupt them, the soldiers and horses of the Xirong people don't have much discipline in the army!" ”
The horn in the Yan army suddenly sounded.
Li Dian, Lei Tong, and Anu Hu led the last 7,000 people to the battlefield, and Li Xuanba pushed away the armor soldier who had just fastened his belt, picked up the double hammer on the ground, and smashed the sparks in his hands.
"Sijon Shorty! I'm coming! ”
With a kick under his feet, the burly and powerful body rushed out.
"Xuanba, you're on the wrong track!"
Su Chen hurriedly stopped him and pointed to Qin Qiong's side: "Go and support the Tang Army!" ”
"Okay—"
Li Xuanba hurriedly nodded and turned around, collided with the hammer again, roared, and ran wildly, like a cannonball, running for several miles, directly into the array where the Tang army was, Qin Qiong had just killed a leader who seemed to be a tribe, and saw that Li Xuanba had already entered the front line.
The twin hammers swung wildly at the crowd, and as soon as the hammer swept away, several people were smashed out like monkeys.
In the dark, he was like a demon god alone in the crowd of thousands of people, wielding a double hammer, the terrifying weight and his strength, once he was swept away, he basically smashed the flesh and bones directly.
The surrounding Xijon people were frightened by his fleshy and fierce appearance, and no one dared to step forward for a while, and the hands holding the weapons were trembling slightly.
Li Xuanba swung a few hammers in a row, and found that there was no one around, and when he saw the Xirong soldiers cowering and retreating, he couldn't help shouting:
"What are you afraid of, come! I'm not happy yet! ”
This roar, the already frightened Xijon people, "Ah! With a bang, he turned around and ran away, riding a horse, trekking on foot, running in the direction of the dyingly dark night, and some people even cried out in fright, crying while running, shouting the names of the grassland gods.
"Don't run!"
Li Xuanba wielded a sledgehammer and chased such a large group of people behind him while running and killing.
"Xuanba!"
Qin Qiong came over and shouted at the back, after the unification of the Tang Dynasty, he rarely commanded the troops to fight, and now that he is on the battlefield again, his blood is boiling, seeing that Li Xuanba has chased the group of routs and ran away, he raised the war knife in his hand and headed towards the array in the rear: "The whole team, and then follow me to the front!" ”
The governor rode in the crowd to shout and encourage, the general hurriedly formed the team, and the encouraged Tang soldiers and soldiers, at this time, there were more than 2,500 people who could still fight, and their hand shields and spears were raised one by one, and they shouted like a morale booster: "- Kill!" ”
In the next second, the front line was reinforced in a sharp formation, and the north and south lines were already in chaos at this time, and the Youyan army had already received Su Chen's order and began to increase the charging formation, and the sophisticated armor and weapons were not at all the perennial leather jackets on the herdsmen on the grassland that were not washed and hardened.
With a sudden force, the Xirong people on the front line felt that the Yan army on the opposite side, who had just been tepid, was as fierce as if they had taken medicine, and gradually the front began to shrink back.
Li Dian pushed the iron spear to tear open a gap, and more Youyan soldiers behind him poured into the gap.
"Ahhh Gradually, some Xijon soldiers were timid, and then they dropped their weapons, their tense nerves were broken, and they screamed hysterically in horror and turned around to squeeze the people behind them.
The front shook and continued to sink towards Xirong's side, and at a certain moment, it shattered.
Sticking to the front was a Dadu named Kuzan, who kept urging the tribal warriors to kill him, but before he could give his next order, the sound of horses' hooves and fighting sounded in the shadows behind him, which was piercing the night and coming from this side.
The middle formation is still far from here, and the fight can be heard here......
A chill suddenly ran through his heart.
Khan's side......
And the surging crowd in the darkness ahead, obviously there are not so many people, obviously they are also flesh and blood, and they will also die, but why give him a kind of pressure that is overwhelming.
Then, the whole front collapsed, and the center was directly smashed by a cavalry, and the fleeing Xijon warriors fled on horseback to the front line, and more often ran around.
The guards around him also urged him to leave quickly at this time, the rout came too suddenly, how the middle formation was killed, Kuzan couldn't figure it out at all, so he could only follow the guards in front of him and flee to the northwest in the crowd of people who had been defeated.
In the night, there were figures of men and horses everywhere, running on light horses and advancing with foot soldiers, covering the defeated Xijon rout.
In the direction of the middle formation, several wolves rode and surged to shoot the passing rout, not far away, the young general wearing crotch armor and riding a red horse jumped on his horse, swung his sword and slashed at the flagpole of Da Xu, 'crackling' in the sound of breaking, Da Xu fell down with a bang.
"General Lu, order, leave half of the two cavalry armies behind, and hand over the war horses to the remaining robes"
The red helmet fluttered in the wind, Huo Qubing pulled the reins, looked at the Xirong cavalry who was killing through the group of Xirong cavalry that had just been assembled from a distance, grabbed it casually, lifted a Xirong man who had fled without a horse to the saddle, and knocked it out with a knock on the hilt of the sword.
"Call General Zhao, quick!"
In the rhythm of the horn, which only the two cavalry could understand, on the grassland where they were originally chasing, the scattered wolf riders and white horse Yicong turned their horses' heads one after another and ran past following the sound of the horn.
"Champion Hou, what is this going to do?" Zhao Yun rode his horse and galloped over, and his white robe and silver armor were covered with blood.
Lu Bu carried the halberd and urged the horse to come to the side to look at the high-spirited and energetic Huo Quai, Lu Bu pinched the halberd pole, turned around and yelled: "The injured and physically exhausted dismount, and the rest of the people have two horses!" ”
Huo Quzhi grinned, and finally someone understood his intentions, the Han sword in his hand was sheathed, and he galloped up, his red cloak fluttered behind him, and his voice was high-pitched: "Keep up!" ”
"Let's go!" Lu Bu and Zhao Yun looked at each other and smiled, and with four thousand and five wolf riders and white horse mixed cavalry, one person and two horses, they ran behind Huo Quai.
……
The sky was overcast and shining, Su Chen sat on horseback and stared at the battlefield, and waited until the sky was bright, and the entire grassland was full of human and horse bodies stretching out.
Almost all of the pasture was red, and many soldiers were searching among the corpses for their living comrades, or to mend the stabs of the undead enemy.
Far and near, scouts, Youyan foot soldiers, and slave soldiers escorted a group of captives back from afar.
"Not a single captive, execute immediately." Su Chen set aside his war horse, and while putting down the order, he was also asking the scouts who had returned from afar.
"Can you see General Lu?"
"Back to the king, no!"
"Probe!"
Jia Xu, who was drowsy on horseback, tried to open his eyes at this time, "King, they may have followed Huo Hu's cavalry to intercept and kill Xirong Khan." ”
Su Chen frowned.
"Defeat the 120,000 Xijon cavalry...... Are they still able to fight? ”
In case of emergency, Su Chen was still not at ease, so he ordered the cavalry to behead the captives as soon as possible, gather the officers and soldiers of each army to form a team, and leave a group of people to take care of the wounded, and they continued to chase and kill the fleeing Xianyu Khan.
Almost everyone on Su Chen's side was injured, and he was tired after fighting all night, but now that the order was given, many people still chased after him with willpower.
On the side of Xirong who escaped, there were still 30,000 horsemen to follow him, but he was already old, and he fled until dawn on horseback, and his physical strength was no longer enough, and Luo Jingbin, who had been following, was the same, almost the whole person was lying on horseback, and it was difficult to even support his head.
In this way, Su Chen chased, fled diagonally, chased and stopped, and the two sides were dozens of miles apart, almost to the point of exhaustion.
"I couldn't catch up, and I didn't find Wen Hou and them on the way."
Su Chen sat on the grass, looked at the sun overhead, took the water bag handed by Dian Wei, and poured a mouthful, "This leaning is really a fucking rabbit." ”
After discovering the other party's traces, Su Chen immediately led the soldiers to follow, but the other party's scouts saw this side catching up and hurriedly turned around and informed the oblique pilot.
Then, having no time to rest, he hurriedly mounted his horse and galloped away, and finally on the third day of escaping from the battlefield, the pursuers behind him finally did not appear again.
"King Xia of Yan Kingdom wants my head so much? Hahaha...... What a qualified opponent, but he is still too young, such an elite soldier is wasted a lot, when I go back and redeploy the tribal warriors to kill again, what will his expression be? Ha ha! ”
In the direction of the west, scouts came from Pegasus.
The slanted rider who was laughing and talking towards the tribal general raised the sheepskin wine bag and saluted the blue sky: "Heaven bless, the Xijon people will never be defeated!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the scout, who had come galloping over, jumped off his horse.
"Khan, something is wrong!"
Luo Jingbin raised his tired face, and the surrounding tribal commanders and captains also looked over, and Yaxing's oblique gaze was condensed: "What's the matter?" ”
The scout swallowed and stammered, "I see from afar, the great tribe of the oblique Khan...... Countless black smoke rose up, and I hurriedly ran back......"
Bang!
The sheepskin bag in the old man's hand slipped off and fell to the ground, and for a moment he was stunned, where could he still care about his fatigue, hurriedly mounted his horse, beckoned the cavalry around him, and ran wildly towards the northwest of the grassland, near the central grassland.
After nearly a day's journey, 30,000 cavalry and he rushed back to the royal tent tribe, but what he saw was a scorched earth, densely packed with people with frightened faces piled up into a hill.
And more than one.
The huge camp was burned to the ground, like a huge scar on this green grassland.
"Where's my home?!" The old man's eyes widened, and he pursed his lips on the horse's back: "My king's tent...... My people...... What about my tribe?! ”
The once prosperous eastern royal court, with a large population, was reduced to ruins, and the horse teams that stopped in place also looked at the scene ahead with a dull face, trying to find the faces of their relatives in those Jingguan.
He turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, clenched his fists, raised his head and yelled at the sky: "No!!" ”
The next second, there was a tremor on the ground.
Everyone here stood on end at this moment, and their eyes looked in the direction of the southwest with horror.
A group of cavalry rushed up the grassy knoll and lined up in an array on it.
The oblique Khan lowered his head, looked at the past with a haggard and dazed look, and on the grassy hill, a figure riding in a red military uniform and crotch armor rode uprightly on the back of a horse, and said: "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
In the middle of the words, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun urged horses to come to him and side by side.
"Let Me ......"
Huo Quzhi pulled out the Han sword on his waist, jumped off the horse, and the moment the cloak was raised.
His voice was raised.
"....... trample on these steppe barbarians."
- Seal the wolf!
