Chapter 143: The Tiande Army broke through the formation, and Li Hengchuan was ordered to be in danger
Wu'er is fierce and abnormal, killing everywhere. The giant axe in his hand was powerful, and almost none of the Southern Qi soldiers around him were his enemies. With him taking the lead in breaking the formation, more and more Tiande cavalry squeezed into the breach, and the situation became precarious.
The giant axe was rounded, and the two pikemen who rushed forward flew out upside down, blood sprayed wildly in mid-air, and Wu'er let out a rampant laugh: "Is there only this kind of weak miscellaneous in the Southern Qi army? Hahaha." ”
"The rats are rampant! Li Hengchuan will meet you for a while!" A loud roar came, and a person suddenly jumped high in the Southern Qi army, this person was in mid-air, and the long knife in his hand was already out of the sheath, and it was Li Hengchuan, the deputy general of Taiyuan City.
Wu'er's face was disdainful, his legs were clamped between the horse's belly, the war horse suddenly forward, the giant axe in his hand swung up, the knife and axe intersected, a huge force came, Wu'er's giant axe was swung high, and Li Hengchuan was also forced to retreat a few steps and fell in the crowd.
"Huh?" Wu'er let out a soft sigh and smiled, "It's kind of interesting!"
Li Hengchuan sneered, and pounced forward again, the long knife in his hand was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, there was a snowy knife shadow. This time, Li Hengchuan's target was the war horse under Wu'er's crotch. Wu'er is on a horse, condescending, the giant axe can take advantage of the momentum to add strength, Li Hengchuan's kung fu is known for his dexterity, and he is not good at fighting, so he will naturally force Wu'er off the horse.
Wu'er is also a battle-hardened general, and his cultivation is even better, he can see through Li Hengchuan's intentions at a glance, and as soon as he lifted the reins, the war horse under his crotch took a few steps back and flashed Li Hengchuan's attack. At this moment, in the military formation, the flow of people is dense and the space is narrow, which is not conducive to a flexible master like Li Hengchuan, but a person like him who is good at strength is like a fish in water. Li Hengchuan missed a blow, there was no way to retreat, he could only put away his knife and be on guard, Wu'er let out a loud laugh, and the giant axe danced with a tiger and a tiger, and according to Li Hengchuan, it was a series of slashes.
Li Hengchuan barely dodged a few axes, and there was no room to dodge, so he could only block with a knife. This time he immediately fell into a disadvantage, Wu'er's giant axe weighed dozens of catties, with the help of horsepower, there was probably nearly a thousand catties of strength on it, Li Hengchuan's internal force was fully opened, so he could barely block it, but even so, the chest and abdomen were still shocked to the blood and qi surged, and the body couldn't move for a while.
Several Southern Qi sergeants on the side rushed forward, and their spears stabbed indiscriminately, which forced Wu'er to retreat, giving Li Hengchuan a chance to breathe.
"General Li, I'm here to help you!" At this moment, there was another roar from the crowd, and a military general with his hands and face covered with gauze rushed from the crowd to this side, it was Zhuang Xiaowei, the deputy general of the Iron Battalion who escaped from Tianguan City to report the news.
He was burned by the fire in Tianguan City, and after escaping here, he was treated by a military doctor, and then he has been following Hu Chao ever since. Wu'er attacked the sword and shield array, Li Hengchuan asked for orders to fight, Zhuang Xiaowei has been paying close attention here, and seeing that Li Hengchuan was suffering, he immediately volunteered to ask Hu Chao for help to come.
Li Hengchuan is Hu Chao's confidant and one of the deputy generals of the Taiyuan garrison, Hu Chao naturally did not allow him to lose, and immediately approved Zhuang Xiaowei's request.
Zhuang Xiaowei was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he raised the knife in his hand and took the lead in sweeping Wu'er's horse leg, and Li Hengchuan saw the opportunity to swing the knife to attack from the flank.
Wu'er's giant axe blocked left and right, separated the combined attack of the two, and slashed towards Zhuang Xiaowei, who was weaker in cultivation.
Zhuang Xiaowei hurriedly retreated, Li Hengchuan was afraid that he would lose, so he responded from the side, and the three of them were temporarily separated. The next moment, the three of them let out a loud shout at the same time, and the swords and axes moved together, and they fought together again.
Li Hengchuan and Wu'er's cultivation is actually not much different, but they have suffered a loss in kung fu, Zhuang Xiaowei's strength is not bad, and the two of them work together to block Wu'er.
With the two of them contained, Wu'er's momentum was suddenly blocked, and without this advancing arrow, the pace of the Tiande cavalry breaking the formation was finally slowed down. The Southern Qi arrow array took the opportunity to erupt one after another, causing a lot of losses to the Tiande cavalry.
In the Tiande Array, the generals who were still full of joy did not expect the situation to change suddenly, especially Yelu Tailong's face became a little gloomy.
Chaganbala, the bear lord on the side, observed his words and knew that Yelu Tyrone was thinking that his mad bear attack was unfavorable. He was secretly anxious in his heart, thought for a moment, and turned around to glance at a general of the headquarters behind him.
The man immediately understood, and quietly turned away.
After a while, a deafening drum beat sounded, and a group of men and horses rushed out of the mad bear formation again. This team of about 1,000 people is imposing, and the equipment on their bodies is slightly different from that of ordinary berserker bears.
Yelu Tyron turned his head and glanced at Chaganbala, revealing a hint of deep meaning.
The team just sent out was Chaganbala's pro-army White Bear Army, which was composed of the strongest warriors in the Wild Bear Division, and it was also the most well-equipped army in the Wild Bear Division. There are only 2,000 people in total, and they are regarded as treasures by Chaganba on weekdays, so they are easily reluctant to dispatch. At this moment, Chaganbala sent half of it in one go, which is already considered a bloody capital.
The White Bear Army galloped, the soldiers of the Wild Bear Department dodged one after another, and a thousand White Bears soon rushed to the front of the Southern Qi Army Formation. The leader of this group of white bears is the general who took away from Chaganbala before, named Gargan, and Wu'er is a famous warrior in the Wild Bear Department, and his cultivation is only a few points weaker than Wu'er. He was armed with a heavy mace, which was so powerful that several Southern Qi soldiers who tried to block it were killed by his headshots.
A thousand white bear warriors, under the leadership of Gargan, raised their sabers and plunged into Nanqi's sword and shield array. They had just entered the battle, and they were full of strength, coupled with their already amazing combat power, which immediately caused chaos in the already precarious sword and shield array.
As soon as Galkan lifted the horse's head, the mace in his hand danced in the wind, and he rushed towards Wu'er.
"What are you doing here, Galgan?" roared Ur.
Gargan shouted: "The bear master thinks you are dragging mud and water, let me come to help you!"
Wu'er scolded angrily, and the giant axe in his hand slashed at Li Hengchuan. At the same time, Galkan has already exchanged hands with Zhuang Xiaowei.
As a result, Li Hengchuan and Zhuang Xiaowei's situation immediately took a sharp turn for the worse.
Zhuang Xiaowei's cultivation is weaker than Wu'er, and naturally he is not Gargan's opponent, plus he is injured himself, and he only lasted five or six rounds before he was swept in the shoulder by Gargan, the long knife came out of his hand, and he fell into the crowd behind him. Several Southern Qi soldiers sacrificed their lives to rescue Zhuang Xiaowei and escorted him to retreat to the Chinese army.
As soon as Zhuang Xiaowei left, Gargan turned his head and attacked Li Hengchuan, Li Hengchuan was unable to support himself, and he was wounded after barely resisting for a while, and he was unable to fight again, so he could only retreat.
Hu Chao saw clearly in the back, but when he looked at Zhuang Xiaowei and Li Hengchuan, who were already injured, he had nothing to say. Hu Chao only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only a few generals available, and Li Hengchuan is considered to be a good cultivator. But Tiande is a soldier who pours out the whole country, and there are more than a thousand generals? This war is originally to use the small to broaden the big, and the weak to resist the strong, and Hu Chao has long known it.
The main general in front retreated, and the morale of the Southern Qi army became low, even if Hu Chao gave orders again and again, launched several counterattacks, it still failed to work, and the Southern Qi army began to decline. The Tiande army took advantage of the situation to attack, and the forward formation of Southern Qi was finally broken.
With the White Bear Army as the arrow, the Tiande cavalry sacrificed their lives and inserted themselves into the Southern Qi formation, and finally tore through the three frontmost lines of defense layer by layer. The sword and shield hand, the pikeman, and the Mo knife hand were taken by the Tiande cavalry like knives
everything in half.
As time passed, more and more Tiande cavalry came into close contact with the Southern Qi army, slowly squeezing the sword and shield men, pikemen and Mo knife men of the Southern Qi to both sides. As if peeling off a cocoon, the Southern Qi arrow array was gradually exposed in front of the Tiande cavalry.
At this moment, several teams of archers in the front row had abandoned their longbows, drew their sabers at their waists and began to fight on foot. Try your best to buy more opportunities and time for your colleagues behind you to shoot a few more arrows.
However, everyone knows that when a Southern Qi archer abandons lunge fighting, it is the most critical time.
On the mainland, formed archers have always been known as the nemesis of cavalry, but once they are close to the cavalry, the roles of both sides will immediately change, and the archers suddenly become the prey of the cavalry.
In a crumbling situation, the Southern Qi arrow array barely sent out a few more volleys, and finally became weak. The Tiande cavalry was sharp, galloping on horseback, cutting the entire Southern Qi arrow array to pieces, and could no longer make a powerful counterattack.
The entire battlefield was in chaos, losing the support of the arrow array, and the Southern Qi army finally came to the end of the road.
Hu Chaochang sighed, so far, with 30,000 people, he has resisted the Tiande army for so long, killing and wounding more than 30,000 enemy soldiers, and the results can be described as brilliant. At this moment, the military array has been broken, the power of the arrow array is difficult to show, and the Southern Qi army is weak to return to the sky, and defeat is a foregone conclusion.
Hu Chao suddenly turned his head to Li Hengchuan and Zhuang Xiaowei and said, "Hengchuan and Xiaowei, you two have been wounded, and now that the Tiande cavalry has not yet been killed here, you go back to Taiyuan City." ”
Li Hengchuan's heart trembled, and he said loudly: "What does this mean, general? How can I, Li Hengchuan, be a person who is afraid of death? I won't leave!"
Zhuang Xiaowei also said: "I won't leave either!"
Hu Chao shouted: "Listen to me! The loss of this place has become a settlement, if Taiyuan is lost again, in the future, you can be a horse and a flat river, and there is no danger to rely on! At that time, the Tiande cavalry will be able to crisscross the territory of my Southern Qi, so Taiyuan City must not be lost! When I came, I had already asked for help from the nearby state city, presumably at this moment the reinforcements have arrived, Taiyuan City occupies the terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, you go back to prepare the army and horses, hold the city, and be sure to ensure that Taiyuan City does not lose three days! Three days is enough to wait for the reinforcements of the governor! This is a major matter related to my entire Southern Territory, and even the entire Southern Qi, and I can't be rash!"
Li Hengchuan said: "Then please ask the general to return to the city, and I will defend here for you." My Wen Taowu strategy is not as good as the general, and the general can better defend Taiyuan City when he returns to the city!"
Hu Chao shouted: "Confused! If I leave, the army will inevitably be disheartened and defeated." At that time, no one will stop the pursuit of the Tiande cavalry, who will be able to return to Taiyuan City smoothly? You are the deputy general of Taiyuan, you are familiar with the situation in Taiyuan, Xiaowei is the only survivor of Tianguan City, and you know many inside stories of the battle of Tianguan, you two are useful, you two can only go back!"
Li Hengchuan wanted to say more, but Hu Chao shouted at him: "This is a military order! Needless to say, implement it immediately!"
Li Hengchuan and Zhuang Xiaowei glanced at each other, their eyes were sad, and they kowtowed heavily on the ground, the two of them got up, turned over their horses, and led hundreds of pro-troops out of the military formation and headed towards Taiyuan City.
When the two of them left, Hu Chao held his sword in his hand, looked around, and shouted: "Forcibly invade the realm, knock on my rivers and mountains, and today I can be side by side with all the kings to punish thieves, I Hu Chao is very lucky! Now that the military formation has been broken, behind me is the territory of my Southern Qi, and my Hu Chao has decided to sacrifice my life here today to repay the grace of the Governor's cultivation! All the soldiers, you are willing to walk with me!"
"Yes, willing, willing!" shouted in unison the Nanqi sergeants beside him.
"Kill!" Hu Chao shouted, urging the war horse under his crotch to rush forward first, and behind him, the Southern Qi army roared in unison, surging towards the Tiande army like a tide.
