Chapter 12: God of War
The neighing of the law sounded, and the fast horse staggered forward, and was about to crash into the rock. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHelian Bobo was already thrown to the ground by the startled horse at this time, and only one foot was hanging on the stirrup, and he was dragged forward.
Helian Bo screamed in pain, his left hand reached the foot dragged by the stirrups, and he pulled out a short knife from the shaft of his riding boots. With a stroke of the short knife, the stirrup fell, but the startled horse had already hit its head on the rocks and fell to the ground. The fallen horse's hooves kicked Helian Bobo's thigh, and the sound of bones breaking sounded but it broke Helian Bobo's thigh. The screams mingled with the wails of startled horses.
The pro-soldier team hurriedly helped Helian Bobo up from the ground, but Helian Bobo, whose leg bone was trampled off, couldn't get on the horse, so he could only be supported by two pro-soldiers and rushed towards the valley mouth. The cavalry team behind him saw that Helian Bobo was injured, but they did not dare to step forward, for fear that the fast horse would step on Helian Bobo and injure Helian Bobo. The galloping fast horse suddenly stopped, and was suddenly hit by the galloping horse behind him, and in the neighing of horses, the mountain road was suddenly in chaos.
Helian Bobo was supported by his own soldiers, and ran out of a dozen steps away with a wail, but he heard a gong sound, a rumbling sound, and huge boulders on the mountains on both sides kept rolling down, and in a blink of an eye, the valley mouth was blocked. The pro-soldier team hurriedly escorted Helian Bobo to retreat, but they were crowded with the advancing cavalry, and the pro-soldier team had to fight hard to protect Helian Bobo's safety.
Although Helian Bobo had severe pain in his legs, he secretly thought that he could not retreat, and there were obviously ambushes on the mountains on both sides, so he could only find a way to climb over the rocks at the mouth of the valley to have a glimmer of life. At that moment, Helian Bobo ordered the cavalry to dismount and rush towards the rocks at the mouth of the valley and the mountains on both sides.
The Hun soldiers screamed and rushed to the mountains on both sides, but the pro-army team followed behind the Hun soldiers with Helian Bobo, rushing towards the rocks at the mouth of the valley.
By this time, it was already dark, and long arrows dipped in black oil continued to fall from the mountains on both sides, illuminating the valley brightly. In the sound of people shouting and neighing, the dead branches and leaves piled on both sides of the valley were suddenly ignited, and the raging fire and black smoke filled the entire valley. The rest of the Hun cavalry could only dismount one after another and rushed in the direction of the valley mouth. There were Hun soldiers who climbed up the slopes on both sides, but they were all shot back by random arrows.
The Huns were divided into two by the flames, and rushed down with all their might, and finally thousands of Hun soldiers escorted Helian Bobo out of the valley and fled towards the bottom of the mountain.
The rest of the Huns were blocked by the flames and could only keep retreating. But I didn't want a large number of cavalry behind me to be driven by the flames and come in the direction of the valley mouth. Tens of thousands of horsemen huddled together with each other, knocked off their horses, trampled each other, and died under the hooves of their horses.
The raging fire and the chaotic arrows on the mountains on both sides drove all the Huns to retreat to the most open place in the valley, and the Huns stopped the commotion a little and rushed towards the slopes of the mountains on both sides in an organized manner. The Hun soldiers were not afraid of death, so that the ambush soldiers on the hillsides on both sides began to panic, and they could only retreat while fighting. Fortunately, the Huns lived on horses for a long time, and they were extremely unsuitable for climbing mountains and mountains, and the casualties caused by the ambush soldiers were not too large.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the Hun soldiers who rushed up the mountain were like blind people who were attacked by ambushes and accidentally slipped off the cliff in the dark night, and the screams were endless. Zhuge Yunzhi, who was standing on the top of the mountain, observed the situation with the surviving firelight in the valley, and orders kept coming out of Zhuge Yunzhi's mouth, and his own heralds kept conveying orders downward.
A team of less than 5,000 people, armed with martial arts, good at night walking, specially selected elite soldiers, the original ambush soldiers were replaced, holding scimitars, and surrounded the Hun soldiers all over the mountains. As the screams continued to sound, the Huns were forced to retreat down the mountain. There were a few Huns who were lucky enough to escape the killing, but if they went to the mountain, they could not escape the spears of the 20,000 pikemen who were waiting in battle.
Helian Bobo led thousands of remnants of the defeated army, and there were no horses to walk, so he could only run forward in the night. Out of the terrain of the valley, but it is much more open, thousands of Hun soldiers are like lost dogs, they are tired and hungry, and even their footsteps are heavy.
On a hill not far away, a torch lit up, and then countless torches lit up from all directions. In the shouting, countless infantry just advanced slowly, and slowly drove the somewhat scattered Hun defeated soldiers to a single piece. Countless arrows were shot out, densely covering the entire sky.
The infantry continued to shrink the encirclement, and under the rain of arrows, there were fewer and fewer Huns who could still stand. After the last round of shooting, the archers stood still, and the pikemen, who had been prepared long after them, came out and surrounded them from all sides.
After the order to stay was given, Xuan Qi stood on the hill and did not move. Looking at the smaller and smaller encirclement, Xuan Qi knew that this war was about to end. When Yuwen Hu came to Xuan Qi with Helian Bobo's head, there was no longer any living Hun soldier on the battlefield.
After dawn, the army of Yanmen Pass collected troops and entered the pass, and the three thousand old and weak soldiers who remained at the pass immediately cheered and jumped with joy, and the cheers of the earth resounded everywhere under the pass.
In this battle, Li Sheng strategized and personally sat in Yanmen Pass, leaving only 3,000 old and weak soldiers and 2,000 cavalry in the pass, but he sent all the elite soldiers and strong generals out of the pass early and scattered them in the mountains and mountains outside the pass.
With 20,000 archers and pikemen, Xuan Qi destroyed the wooden bridge first, and then rolled down some falling rocks on the mountain road. This move was to slow down the march of the Xiongnu army, so that the Xiongnu army could not reach the Yanmen Pass at the scheduled time. Sure enough, when it was dark, the Xiongnu army could only camp in the valley between the two mountains.
Before dawn, Zhuge Yunzhi, who had already been ambushed, led thousands of archers to shoot rockets from the slopes on both sides. This time, the task was to burn the grain and grass and baggage of the Xiongnu army, first, to cut off its grain and grass, and secondly, to make the Xiongnu army unable to attack the city even if it reached the Yanmen Pass.
The 5,000 cavalry sent by Helian Bobo to transport grain fell into the ambush of Xuanqi, and was surrounded by 20,000 troops.
Helian Bobo was really helpless, so he could only retreat, but he was ambushed in the valley again. The defenders of Yanmen Pass only paid hundreds of casualties, but they killed Helian's menacing army of 50,000 on the road from Yanmen Pass to Suzhou. Even Helian Bobo died with more than a dozen sharp arrows in his body, and he could never return to the prairie.
After this battle, the soldiers and generals of Yanmen Pass all put away their contempt for Li Sheng, and even gave Li Sheng the nickname "God of War".
