Chapter 297: Battle of Poplar Valley III

The moon no longer hangs high in the sky, and it is sinking more and more in the west. The night was very dark, and what should have been a dark valley was brightly lit by the torches of the Huns.

The firelight reflected the Han and Hungarian soldiers, the fire and blood were at the same time, and the ground was full of bloodstains, telling the fierceness of the battle.

"My lord, you can lead people directly to the mouth of the East Valley, if we drag it out like this, none of us will be able to escape!" said a personal guard who cut down a Hun soldier with one hand and caught the gap.

"What kind of stupid thing to say, if I want to run away by myself, I can't do it" After playing for more than an hour, the captain's physical strength has declined significantly, and the style of play has changed from the initial momentum style of play to a defensive and retreat-based style of play. "We have evacuated so much, as long as we can join forces, we can break out" The lieutenant's words were actually not wrong, it stands to reason that as long as they penetrate this side, their people can get stuck in the valley, then someone can successfully retreat.

Everything seemed to be according to the captain's plan, and the lights behind him became brighter and brighter, and he knew that they had been fighting for more than an hour, and finally joined up with the other Western Regions Protector.

However, it seems that everything other than the rendezvous was not in his plan.

"What happened to the Western Regions Protectors?" The captain looked up at the mountains on both sides, and then looked back at the exit of the East Valley, which was a little far away! The anger exploded instantly, and he immediately blurted out, "What's the matter, why did you also retreat, didn't I say that you would always defend the East Mountain Pass?" Although the voice was very loud, in the noisy valley, this sentence seemed so powerless, and it immediately disappeared into the noisy valley.

"You hold the line, I'll find out what's going on?" the lieutenant had to leave his men behind, and he must find out why.

In the middle of the two armies were the wounded soldiers of both sides, and these wounded soldiers were actually lying down, and there was no time to take care of them and carry them away, and the battle lines on the two sides were now not far apart. The dazzling military uniform of the Western Regions Protector was clearly seen by the captain, and he went up and grabbed the Western Regions Protector, who was older than him, "Why do you want to advance the valley, do you know that once you retreat into the valley, we will not be able to advance or retreat, and we will be surrounded here!"

The protector of the Western Regions shook off the captain's hand: "Do you think I want to withdraw in? The Huns at the mouth of the East Valley are not ornaments! Standing on the wilderness, thousands of Hun cavalry charged, can they resist with flesh and blood? Your Northwest Army is a human being, and even if my Western Regions Metropolitan Protector Army is not a human being, they are also my brothers who share weal and woe?"

For a while, the two sides were tense, and when the enemy was present, the soldiers on both sides immediately stepped forward to dissuade the two, "Two adults, now the enemy is now, not the time for infighting"

The captain put down the envoy of the Western Regions, "Now is not the time to pursue this, now we have been forced into the valley, we need to find a place to break through immediately, otherwise we will all die here"

The envoy of the Western Regions pointed to the east, "This place is the closest distance to the East Mountain Pass, if we leave all the wounded soldiers behind and gather everyone to break through from the East Mountain Pass, we should be able to break through!"

The captain was stunned for a moment, "Abandon everything...... Wounded soldiers?"

As an old soldier, the protector of the Western Regions had no choice but to nod, "That's right, with wounded soldiers, we must not be able to escape, the question is how many people we can break through."

The lieutenant was silent, and the battle lines on both sides kept getting closer, and the Han army's position in the valley became less and less. The envoy of the Western Regions said: "When you are constantly suffering from the chaos, do you have to wait until we are completely surrounded before you can make up your mind? Give up the small to protect the big! Young man, now is not the time to talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes! This is a war, casualties are inevitable, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood!"

The lieutenant nodded heavily, "Then we will retreat to the East Mountain Pass immediately, you will advance eastward with all your might, and our Northwest Army will be left behind!"

Once again, the Han army, which had been under unified command, began a reverse offensive, while the Northwest Army continued to break its own rear, but this time, they were shocked by the order, "What, to give up the wounded soldiers?" The lieutenant said firmly and rudely, "We must first live!

The Northwest Army looked at the grief-stricken captain in front of them, and knew that the captain was by no means a joke, and he was also under great pressure before giving the order. The lieutenant also kept comforting himself and said, "I want to take as many people as possible."

The Han army slowly moved eastward, which naturally could not hide from the Hun army that had been monitoring from above, and after a while, the sentry handed over the information to Ke Moore. But Moore sneered, "The wounded soldiers have been left behind, and they are really evacuated to the east, are all things ready?" The entourage on the side arched his hand and said, "Ready", but Moore nodded, "Let's do it! I will see where the Han army can flee to this valley with a raging fire."

"Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, and we will be able to get out soon" The Western Regions Protector Army mixed with the phalanx of the Northwest Army advanced eastward with a shield on its head, and finally made progress little by little. However, the soldiers pursuing in the west began to distance themselves from the Han army, and the captain after the break wondered for a while, "Why did the Xiongnu suddenly retreat"

"There is an abnormality, there must be a demon, I'm afraid that the Huns are planning something" The Western Regions Protector said, "As long as we go out of the east, no matter how strong the Huns are, it will not help!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swished out countless rockets from the west, "The Huns plan to attack with fire!

However, the Hun army in the east seemed to block the Dongshan Pass as if they were desperate, and on both sides of the high slope of the valley, more and more rolling stones smashed to the side of the Dongshan Pass, intending to use this method to block the return of the Han army.

When both sides don't want to die, then it's a competition to see which side has more lives. The Han army was burdened with the hope of life, and the Xiongnu gambled on almost all the manpower and material resources of the Xiongnu Nanting to fight this ambush battle with the Han army in the Baiyang Valley. The fire cut off the return route of the Han army, plunged the Han army into despair, and then burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, but the Xiongnu could naturally block the Dongshan Pass by sacrificing some people's lives through reckless self-sacrifice.

The fire was poured on the Han army by the fire oil that fell from the sky, causing the Han army to ignite flames. The road ahead was blocked, the retreat was a raging sea of fire, and the captain only had four words in his heart, "It is difficult to escape from the catastrophe", but the envoy of the Western Regions on the side said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, the horse leather shroud, at least you don't have to be captured, little brother, are you willing to follow the old brother through the sea of fire and kill the Huns for a while?"

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Of course!"

The envoy of the Western Regions raised his shield to resist the fire oil, and issued a final battle cry against the sea of fire: "You can move!

With the mentality of certain death, the Han army practiced the last madness before death, stepped on the land of rockets, let out a desperate roar, and launched a final desperate charge against the Huns on the other side of the sea of fire.

The crazy gesture was moving, and the leader of the Huns also drew his saber and responded loudly, "Warriors of the Huns!"

In the Poplar Valley, the desperate sea of fire, the tragic charge of the Han army, the 4,000 Han army with the crazy record of killing more than 10,000 Huns in one night, so forever slept here, with their own flesh and blood, to defend the dignity of the Han soldiers.
