Chapter 263: Life is Precious
As the 50,000-strong army commanded by Zhuge Liang joined the battlefield, the specifications of the battle were immediately raised to the white-hot stage. The 80,000 army of www.biquge.info was fighting against more than 100,000 chaotic Xin barbarians, which was originally an evenly matched contest, but under Zhuge Liang's planning, the balance of victory, from the very beginning, had been tilted to the enemy's side.
The roar of anger was accompanied by a terrible scream, the swing of the steel knife brought the body to pieces, and the trampling of the horse's hooves left behind a pile of flesh, and all kinds of fighting methods were presented on this battlefield. It has a strong impact on people's vision and deeply shocks people's hearts.
Under the leadership of Yuan Qi and Zhuge Liang, the 80,000 army fought to the death with the Xin barbarians, wielding knives and drawing knives. Swinging the knife again, drawing the knife again, and repeatedly making the chopping action, the national hatred that had accumulated in the heart for a long time ignited the potential energy of all the soldiers, and stimulated all the strength in their bodies, so that they kept slashing at the Xin barbarians.
The Xin barbarians, who had always been ferocious, were able to launch counterattacks on their own at first, and their instinct to survive prompted them to drag their exhausted bodies after the civil war to block the steel knives chopped by the Han people. But as the battle deepened, more and more Xin barbarians. The phenomenon of exhaustion began to appear, the weapons in their hands danced more and more weakly, and even many Xin barbarians, without colliding with the enemy, could no longer support their bodies, and fell from their horses. After all, for any ordinary sergeant, after a day and a half of fighting, physical strength is already very problematic.
The Xin barbarians' physical strength was exhausted, which made the Yuan Qi army's charge and killing even more ferocious. Especially the land returning soldiers who live like iron giants, they are even more screaming, like bloodthirsty beasts, harvesting the lives of the Xin barbarians one by one. The Flying Dragon Army led by Qi Tian and the Thorn Tower Cavalry were also like chicken blood, and they were in a mess.
The battle, to this point, Ottawa and Manila have understood that their momentum is gone, and there is no going back. The reactions of the two were very different. In the first time, Ottawa led hundreds of his own soldiers to flee to the edge of the battlefield, trying to find a glimmer of life in the chaotic battlefield and escape alive. Looking at Ottawa's figure fleeing from the wilderness, Manila shook his head and sighed: "The Han people have a saying that makes sense, under the nest, there are eggs? Immediately, Manila raised the saber in his hand and shouted angrily at the enemy: "This king is the left guard Manila, who dares to fight with this king!"
Zhuge Liang, who was always paying attention to the movements on the battlefield, saw the reactions of Ottawa and Manila, and immediately asked Xu Shu to lead a battle formation to separate from the big formation and go to hunt down Ottawa. As for Manila, although his integrity is admirable, but his position is different, Zhuge Liang can only cast a look of appreciation at him, that's all.
As if it were fate, Yuan Qi rode his horse to Manila. Ten years ago, the then Xinman Zuobei was killed by Yuan Qi in one fell swoop, and today, ten years later, Manila, the successor of Zuobei, is still pushed in front of Yuan Qi by fate.
On the chaotic battlefield, Yuan Qi slowly lifted the dragon mask covering his face, revealing his handsome face. Smiling towards Manila, Yuan Qi Qingyue's voice sounded: "Manila, do you recognize Benhou?"
The white horse, the golden armor, and the mixed halberd are Yuan Qi's iconic costumes, and although Manila has not seen Yuan Qi with his own eyes, he can easily deduce Yuan Qi's identity. The saber in his hand was still held high, and Manila sighed and said, "You should be the hussar general of the Han people?" Manila did not call Yuan Qi a prince, but called him a hussar general, which was not Manila's contempt for Yuan Qi, on the contrary, his respect for Yuan Qi. Although the title of the champion marquis is a symbol of status, and among the Han people, it is generally the title of a person to show the dignity of his status, but in the eyes of Manila, those titles with complicated names are far less shocking than the military position of hussar general.
Manila's thoughts, Yuan Qi naturally understood, in return, Yuan Qi took off his helmet, hung it on the saddle where the weapon was hooked, and then raised the hybrid halberd. Straight to Manila. A fair challenge to Manila. In the custom of the Han people, only when they see someone worthy of their respect, they will take off their hats and other things to express their respect. Manila did not flee like Ottawa. Instead, he stayed and faced death with his own people. This alone deserves the respect of Yuan Qi.
Manila was no stranger to the etiquette of the Han Chinese, and he also understood the meaning of Yuanqi. can get the respect of the little overlord. For Manila, this is already a matter of great pride. With a hard kick of his legs on the horse's belly, Manila took the lead in attacking, and the saber in his hand turned into three sword shadows, slashing at Yuan Qi's shoulders and Tianlinggai respectively.
Among the Xin barbarians, Manila's sword technique will definitely attract bursts of applause, Yuan Qi kept his upper body and the sitting war horse still, holding the mixed yuan halberd with only one right hand, and quickly stabbed towards Manila's knife shadow. Yuanqi's halberd method seems simple, but in fact, it is another realm that can only be reached after thousands of halberd movements, a realm that has transcended the move itself and tends to have no tricks to win. It might be more appropriate to say that his halberd method is back to the basics.
Bellโโ
In the triple knife shadow, the hybrid halberd accurately found the body of the saber, and stabbed heavily at the body of the saber, making a crisp collision sound, accompanied by several sparks scattered and splashed. Manila's inevitable knife has been easily broken between Yuan Qi's gestures.
The saber in Manila's hand, after this collision, had been broken in two and fell to the ground, Manila's right hand tiger mouth was also shattered by Yuan Qi's innate divine power, and a trace of blood seeped out along the wound, and fell down the desert sand along Manila's five fingers.
Looking down at his right hand, Manila's heart was full of excitement, and those desires that had once pursued power suddenly disappeared in his heart with Yuan Qi's blow. It was only at this moment that Manila understood that the most important thing in life is not to climb to the top of power, but to cherish one's own life and the lives of others.
The rush of thoughts in Manila led to a contemplation of the true meaning of life. A cheer from the battlefield interrupted Manila's musings: "The head of Ottawa is here! Those who submit will be spared death!" When he came to his senses, he found that Yuan Qi was still standing five steps in front of him, quietly watching him. Manila glanced sideways in the direction where he had just shouted, and saw that Ottawa's head was always held high in the past, and he was picked up on the tip of a gun by an ordinary enemy soldier.
"May I make a request?" Manila said to Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi looked at Manila's eyes that had become unprecedentedly clear, and nodded slowly. Seeing Yuan Qi's approval, Manila continued: "Please ask the hussar general to be kind to my people and leave them a way to live. โ
Looking at Manila with some surprise, Yuan Qi didn't expect that at the last moment, Manila would be completely enlightened and begin to think about the people of the tribe, and this is exactly what Yuan Qi wanted to treat the Han people. Yuan Qi has set foot on Buyeo, Goguryeo, Xianbei, and Thorn Tower, and now he has worked tirelessly, going deep into the desert to conquer the barbarians, and stabilize the frontier behind his own forces.
Again, Yuan Qi nodded slowly, and then added: "Ben Hou can only promise you that he will treat your tribesmen well, but that depends on their performance." โ
After receiving Yuan Qi's promise, Manila laughed happily, then rode his horse to the center of the battlefield, and shouted: "Lay down your arms, dismount and surrender!" The Han hussar general has promised the king that he will treat you well. โ
Manila's subordinates, after the confrontation with the enemy, once again had a serious attrition, and now there are only more than 30,000 people still alive, after hearing Manila's shouts, they did not hesitate, immediately threw away their weapons, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and asked the enemy to surrender. Even if Manila didn't make such a shout, they didn't want to fight any of them, because any Xin Barbarian knew very well in his heart that this battle had developed so far, and the Xin Barbarians had been defeated, and it was only a matter of time before the whole army was wiped out.
