Chapter 80: Breakthrough
Murong Li was still in a trance, blankly taking the knife in his hand, he recognized this young man, Murong Xuan, the king of Volodus, according to his generation, he should be regarded as his nephew. It's just that when did he appear here? Murong Li had almost no impression at all, and he wasn't even sure if he had brought Murong Xuan with him when he was shouting to charge.
Murong Xuan's gaze had already shifted to the battlefield, but his indifferent smile did not change, as if he didn't care about the decline of this army like a mountain: "Ah Da, you are the number one warrior in the clan, as strong as you, and you even have the idea of suicide?"
Ah Da, it is the name of the Xianbei clan to call their father, which has been continued for hundreds of years, and has gradually evolved into a respectful title for close relatives and uncles and elders, Murong Xuan called himself like this, but it was also full of affection, Murong Li calmed down, and followed his gaze to the battlefield.
Fu Yan's banner has appeared on the battlefield, a brave cavalry rushed back and forth in the siege of the Jin army, brave and brave, obviously Fu Yan took the two thousand troops under his command to join the battle group when the situation was unfavorable, this is a fight without hesitation, thinking of his previous unkind actions towards Fu Yan, Murong Li felt a fever on his face.
"Aren't General Fu and I here? The Nanren can't trap us. Ah Da, let's rush out of the city together, the war has just begun, isn't it?" Murong Xuan's tone was very relaxed, and Murong Li suddenly found that a small number of Yan cavalry troops formed a small circle around him, surrounding himself and Murong Xuan and slowly moving outward, once a Jin State soldier caught up, it was like hitting an iron wall, and he was quickly killed on the spot. And this cavalry unit actually maintained a strange quiet, even when waving the knife and slashing, it was silent, there was no shouting and screaming that killers are customary, and what is even more strange is that the battles are frequent, and no less than hundreds of Jin soldiers have fallen outside this small circle, but this cavalry unit has not even suffered a single casualty, which is too abnormal.
In short, it is a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, Murong Li felt that the strange thought was just a flash, and there was hope for breaking out of the encirclement, which suddenly lifted his spirits.
"Xuan'er, Uncle almost did something stupid, thank you so much!" Murong Li straightened his body on his horse, "Let's rush out of Lu and tell General Fu that as he said, break through from the north and go to Gaoping, where we will hold on to the southerners." He's right and I'm wrong!"
Murong Xuan's smile deepened, he was worthy of being the Black Death on the grassland, although he made a big mistake, but this bearing of knowing his mistakes and admitting his mistakes did not lose the style of a general, so he nodded: "Then meet with General Fu's subordinates first, and tell him Ah Da's decision in person." ”
At this moment, another group of brave Jin State red-armored soldiers were killed, but in an instant, they were cut down by the cavalry who was surrounded in front, and a soldier who was not dead by the knife shouted, supported the injured body to stand up, and went up, poking the spear in his hand into the belly of a cavalryman.
Very heroic, from the perspective of a warrior, this Nanren soldier did a good job, it seems that he is no worse than the Xianbei warrior, Murong Li thought with respect, but soon saw in amazement that the cavalry who was penetrated through the belly was unconscious, turned his hand and slashed off the head of the warrior, and then pulled out the spear from the belly disapprovingly.
Murong Xuan obviously noticed Murong Li's shocked and surprised gaze, pinched the horse's belly, and explained before riding the horse out: "This is my personal army, they are the gift of the God of War to Dayan, with the blessing of the Spirit of the God of War, what do we have to worry about?"
The spirit of the god of war?Murong Li didn't know why, but seeing Murong Xuan take the lead in killing out of the army, he didn't care to ask again, and the two black horses also quickly followed, one was black-clothed and leather armor, and the other was a bald-headed man in a horse's clothes, did it really have anything to do with the gods?

Huan Da Sima stood on top of Gaogang, satisfied looking at the situation of the battle, the plan to lure the enemy to encircle was unusually smooth, the main force of the Donghu people will be surrounded by the superior forces of the Jin State, for this big battle, he used 20,000 cavalry, 50,000 soldiers, plus a series of blows with strong bows and crossbows, the opponent's 20,000 iron cavalry may only have two people at most to survive, and it will be a scarred, weak defeated army, this battle is completed, the Northern Expedition army can push across the Yellow River, straight to the capital of Yan State. Such a record is much more useful than Kefu Luoyang, whose symbolic meaning is much higher than its practical significance.
The battle situation has been decided, so Huan Da Sima noticed that after the scarce Yan reinforcements entered the siege, he didn't care at all, this support, which was not even a drop in the bucket, would soon be annihilated in the huge crowd of the Jin State Xiongshi.
After two hours of fierce fighting, the earthy yellow Xianbei army formation is getting fewer and fewer, and maybe there will soon be good news of capturing the enemy's head or capturing the main general, several strategists are pointing to the battlefield and whispering, but Huan Da Sima can't help but smile, this is a rare expression on the resolute face that has always been moody.
As a personal guard swordsman, Han Li immediately noticed Huan Da Sima's smiling expression, which showed that there was no suspense in the most important battle of the Northern Expedition.
"The Chinese army has long been broken, but I can't see where the main general is, and I don't know if he was beheaded by my Dajin Erlang. Fu Tao said with a grunt.
"Whether the king of Pi dies or not, such a battle situation is always a certainty, see how useful he is. "The one who spoke was a young scribe, surnamed Yuan Minghong, known as a talented person, a descendant of the Yuan clan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who served as the secretary of the Great Sima Shogunate at this time.
Only Xi Chao frowned, his eyes kept following the small circle of earth yellow that was slowly moving northward in the heart of the fierce battle, and more earth yellow people were gathering towards that small circle, seeing that the small circle composed of cavalry was getting bigger and bigger.
"Jingxing, what's wrong?" Among the strategists, Huan Da Sima was the most important Xi Chao, so his frowning expression fell in Huan Da Sima's eyes.
"There, it is the place where the previous Chinese army broke off. Xi Chao pointed forward, "This shows that there is where the main general of Donghu is, you see that there is now more and more protruding, the huge army formation is actually trapped, and many Donghu people are also moving closer there, if it goes on like this, it will not take long for there to break through!"
"Can't run!" Huan Da Sima waved his hand calmly, "Order, the whole army locks up this Donghu army formation, so that no one escapes!"
The military academy waved the command flag on the high hill, the war drums were beating, and the phalanx of soldiers who had received the order began to advance towards the small circle of earthy yellow.
However, the small earthy yellow circle moved faster, which showed that the main general of the Yan State had also accelerated the pace of breaking through, and it was fruitful, and the red phalanx of the Jin State warriors along the way was quickly eroded a large piece.
"Strange! There is still such a desperate battle power under such a defeat?" At this time, even the other strategists became solemn, although Huan Da Sima was still majestic and solemn, but the eyes staring at the breakthrough circle showed that his heart was no longer as relaxed as he was just now.
"It's not good, Lord Donghu is about to escape and escape!" The small earthy yellow circle was wrapped in smoke and dust, and it really stood out of the battle formation, and a large number of Xianbei cavalry also rushed out, quickly running to the north.
"The foot soldiers can't catch up with the cavalry, and the cavalry of the headquarters is tired, so I'm afraid they can't catch up. Seeing the successful breakthrough of the remnants of Yan Guo, Xi Chao sighed.
"They are more tired than us, so just chase them closely!" Huan Da Sima's order was conveyed to the sergeants on the battlefield through the flag of the military academy, and the huge pursuit battle began.
Xi Chao calmly observed, and said: "Look at this direction, it is Dongping County in the north, the Yellow River in the east and the Yellow River in the west, and Mount Tai in the east, which is the throat road, and the Donghu people are going to retreat there to fortify the city and defend it." ”
Huan Da Sima snorted, he also saw the movement of the Yan army, in fact, he was originally worried that the Yan army would defend according to Dongping, so he used the trick of luring the enemy to lead the main force of the Yan army to the decisive battle in Huangxu, fortunately everything went well, and Murong Li, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, was completely fooled, but who would have thought that the Yan army would break through to the end of the season, and it was still a strategy to go to the realm of Dongping. is going to fight a tough battle, and Huan Da Sima is a little helpless, unless he can catch up with most of the defeated Yan army.
Seeing the direction in which Yan Jun was retreating, Han Li's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered an important matter.
He had been to this area, and he was sent by the order of the Great Sima a few years ago. At that time, the three major swordsmen of the Gongfu were divided into three routes, each with a mission. The remnant-eyed ghost owl all the way, led the blood eagle, the broken army vulture, the life-seeking flying crow and the room Jie Yan, a total of five people, to the land of South Vietnam, secretly befriended the leaders of the South Vietnamese tribes; It was also the twists and turns along the way, before the five swordsmen arrived at Yinjiazhuang, they strayed into the Blood Spring Moon Spirit Ghost Realm, only Mei Yu Guyan was rescued by Gan Fei, and the other four swordsmen all died. This is a dark and unsightly thing, so Mo Yumei has been hiding it from Gan Fei, and then the time is pressing, Huan Da Sima can only ignore the constraints of the Yin family, and resolutely launch the Northern Expedition, but fortunately, there is no unfavorable movement of the Yin family now.
The third way is that Han Li himself brought the Soul Snatcher Pheasant and the Shadow Spirit Sparrow to this Central Plains, surveyed the terrain, secretly investigated the network, and even got in touch with the chivalrous Dao who had been active in the Central Plains for a long time, and only waited for the arrival of the Great Sima Army, and responded together.
These three missions are all closely related to the Northern Expedition, and it can be seen that Huan Da Sima is far-sighted. And Huan Da Sima quickly thought of this.
"You've been here when you're on your way?"
"My lord, Han Li has not only been here, but also knows that there is a remote mountain road in the Lu Road, and it can be stuck in Donghu's escape from the enemy. This is the reason for Han Xuanzhong's move, but he also added, "It's just that the mountain road is too narrow, and the road is difficult, but it is not conducive to the march of the army." He knew that Daohuan Da Sima must want to send an army to ambush him, but unfortunately, this would not work.
Da Sima frowned slightly, but Han Li immediately gave advice: "It may not be possible to stop his army." However, it is not impossible to carry out a surprise attack and behead his enemy. ”
"You mean ......"
"Although the road is remote and difficult, it is no big problem for us, Han Li is willing to lead all of you to belong to the same family, and rush to the speed with light skills, and when he finds the main general of Donghu, he suddenly kills out, and retreats with one blow, and there will be no difference. Donghu but lost the main general, even if he defended Dongping, the army will be panicked!"
Da Sima's eyes lit up: "Good! Just behead another Hulu royal family, forgive this Murong Li is not enough to be a swordsman under my curtain, that's it!
Han Li, Yi Yan, Mo Yumei, and all the other swordsmen all bowed: "No!"
Before leaving, Han Li thought for a while, and bowed to Da Sima again: "My lord, there is another thing for my lord to know." ”
"Come on. ”
"If the enemy retreats to Dongping, there is also an opportunity to take advantage of it. A group of righteous people contacted by Han Li in the past were in the city of Xuchang in Dongping, and if the army of Duke Huan arrived, they could be the internal response. ”
※※※
Murong Li was extremely excited, the black horse under the seat quickly spread its hooves, and there were cavalry sergeants who escaped from time to time, although they were defeated, but they were not yet able to disperse, which was a great luck in misfortune.
Murong Li didn't know how Lu Dao was killed, he only remembered following those soldiers of the King of Volodoo, who were known as the gifts of the God of War, and unconsciously revealed the siege, and now, those personal soldiers are taking on the heavy responsibility of the palace under the leadership of the King of Voldo. It's incredible, the warriors who won't be killed, this is simply the invincible strength on the battlefield, but unfortunately the number is too small, but there are only a hundred people, if there are 5,000 people in this generation, then the whole world will be the Murong clan of the Great Yan Kingdom, why not fight and entangle for years?
On the way, he also met Fu Yan, the bloodied general of the right guard, and the two breathed a sigh, and Fu Yan and the front sergeant had already rushed to Dongping to fight the front station.
Murong Li decided that after arriving in Dongping safely, he wanted to reward this team well, it was too unexpected, who knew that Lu Dao actually didn't care about the prince and nephew Murong Xuan played an important role in the end, and looking at his knife skills, it didn't seem to be as bad as he imagined, Murong Li remembered that Murong Xuan was the first to kill, and the shining silver knife didn't know how much blood of the Jin State soldiers had drunk, but his white robe and silver armor were still clean and dazzling. Murong Li felt that he should be happy about this, but he thought that if Murong Xuan might eventually replace him and become the new famous general of the Great Yan Kingdom, it was somewhat sour.
I must cheer up, defeat without discouragement, there is a great chance of victory, besides, there are many more Yan soldiers who escaped than expected, if you add the troops who have escaped from the scattered cavalry, there are always nearly 10,000 people, and it is still a force that cannot be underestimated.
So, Murong Li tore off the black cloak and let the remnants behind him hang the black cloak high on the flagpole, which was a cloak made of precious sable skin, such a declaration explained his identity, and it also happened to play the role of a banner, which was to tell those humble warriors that their main general was still there, he was not defeated, and the Black Death was still here!
The sable mantle spread to the whole army of his comrades, and when the morale of the whole army was boosted, it undoubtedly informed the enemy.
This is how the nine skilled swordsmen of the Duke recognized him, and recognized the target they were about to deliver the decapitating blow.
