Li Mu bent down and ran to the side of Chen Junhou. At this moment, he was also holding a crossbow and shot out a crossbow arrow he had just loaded. When he bowed his head and bent down to reload, he loudly ordered the surrounding soldiers not to let the Huns break through the formation.
.
Li Mu came to him, Chen Junhou. Chen Junhou looked up hurriedly, lowered his head and then raised it immediately, his eyes suddenly widened.
"You kid, what are you doing here? Go back to your grandpa quickly, or you will die."
"Marquis Chen, my grandfather asked me to help you, including loading the crossbow."
"Go, go, go, you, an outsider, can't pull the crossbow string casually. You can't help. Go back and guard your grandpa. Later, General Huo's troops will rush up to protect you and your grandpa.
.”
Li Mu was stunned when he heard this, so his grandpa asked him to come over to help. Chen Junhou said that he would only be of no help, so he hurried back, but with his character, he walked away like this.
To be kicked.
But Grandpa's foot is injured now, maybe he can stop being kicked for a while...
Li Mu shook his head, looked at Chen Junhou who was busy loading crossbows and shooting, and then looked around at the scene of people shouting to kill. At this time, a shield hand fell down, with an arrow stuck in his head, and the tail of the arrow was still there.
It was shaking slightly, but the man's eyes were wide open and he was gone.
A living person dying in front of him still frightened Li Mu, but Chen Junhou beside him didn't seem to care about this kind of thing at all. He still loaded the crossbow himself, then raised it and fired.
Li Mu swallowed a sip of saliva and glanced at the shield in the soldier's hand. He was suddenly heartbroken and bent down to pick up the shield. He held his Huanshou sword in his other hand, looked at the surrounding situation, and then held up the shield.
Run directly to the front in a few steps.
The figure of the Xiongnu was right in front of him, and all kinds of weapons in their hands were pointing in the direction where Li Mu was standing. Li Mu took a few steps forward, imitating the soldier next to him who was still struggling to support himself, and moved
The shield was raised, and the ring-headed sword protruded from the edge of the shield, pointing directly at the Huns outside.
The attack came soon. Li Mu squatted down and raised his shield. First he heard the sound of weapons crackling on the shield from outside, and then a huge force hit him, almost knocking Li Mu down.
"Li He, take out the knife quickly! Stab him!"
Li Mu gritted his teeth to resist the attack from outside the shield, but suddenly he heard the shouts of Chen Junhou.
Li Mu didn't really turn his head to look in the direction of Chen Junhou. He just gritted his teeth, pulled back the ring-shou knife, and then thrust it out through the gap in the shield.
The smooth movement of the sword suddenly paused, and a force hit his wrist. A muffled groan came from the other side of the shield. Li Mu quickly raised his head and saw a standing person frozen in front of him.
He already had his knife stuck in his stomach. Before the halberd in his hand could be stabbed down, he suddenly let go and dropped it. He also fell down, and a warm feeling appeared in Li Mu's hand.
.
Li Mu looked at the red liquid left from the tip of the knife, and was suddenly startled when he heard Chen Junhou's voice again in his ears.
"Li He, retreat quickly!"
Chen Junhou's voice was like thunder, and he quickly pulled Li Mu back. Li Mu also saw the situation in front of him. There were countless Xiongnu swarming forward. Even if the surrounding Han troops formed a formation, they were still under this intensive attack.
Gradually being disintegrated, the remaining Han soldiers were retreating as much as possible.
Li Mu also quickly raised his shield, blocking the surrounding attacks with the ring-headed sword in his hand, and quickly retreated.
At the foot of the mountain, Huo Qubing, who had reorganized his attack, had already achieved results. He swept in quickly with two horses and led his elite cavalry to rampage at the foot of the mountain. The surrounding Xiongnu were forcibly torn apart by Huo Qubing's attack, and then the Huns at the foot of the mountain were torn apart.
The Hun cavalry and the Hun infantry heading up the mountain were all separated.
Seeing that their attack was about to rush to the top of the hill, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out among the Xiongnu troops.
"General, look, that's the flag of King Zuo Xian, he's here in person!" A general with sharp eyes immediately saw a different situation in the distance, and immediately said loudly to Huo Qubing in front of him.
Huo Qubing also looked up, and indeed saw a whole group of cavalry appearing in the distance in that direction. They were coming out of the canyon pass, obviously coming to join the battle.
"What should we do, general? Should we mobilize troops to capture King Zuo Xian alive?" the general asked anxiously.
"Save the military flag officer first!" Huo Qubing refused immediately and turned around and said loudly. The surrounding soldiers' faces perked up after hearing this, and they obviously agreed with Huo Qubing's decision.
But at this moment, the situation around him was not as overwhelming as before. Perhaps because of the appearance of King Zuo Xian, these Huns soldiers became more and more fierce at this moment. The situation that had just been opened was instantly beaten back by these people. Huo Qubing
For a while, he was surrounded.
The anxious Huo Qubing swept away the surrounding enemies and looked up at the small hill, looking at the flag array still standing on the hill and the Hun infantry all over the mountains and plains.
The situation on Li Mu's side is already very grim.
The formation that had just shrunk was suddenly overcrowded by the incoming Hun soldiers. The long weapons of both sides were even forced to stand up because they were too close together. The straight ring-headed swords and the Hun scimitars were intertwined and flickering.
, and what’s even worse is that the crossbowmen, who had just loaded their arrows, almost fired them directly against the opponent’s head. Blood and roars intertwined in front of their eyes, and everyone looked like they were crazy.
On this small slope, there are still many Xiongnu swarming up. The surging Xiongnu are like big waves raging by the wind, and the Han army among them is the only dark reef exposed to the sea in the vast sea.
Impacted again and again.
Li Mu closed his eyes and slashed forward, then raised his shield and rushed forward fiercely. Several Huns in front of him were swept away.
But taking advantage of this gap, several long halberds from the opponent were thrust in from tricky angles. Li Mu quickly stepped back to block it, but a Han soldier next to him failed to guard against it and stabbed directly with a long halberd.
On his legs, he fell down with a sound.
Upon seeing this, Li Mu hurried to help, but at this moment a hand suddenly stretched out from the other side, took the round shield from the soldier's hand, and then stood side by side with Li Mu.
Li Mu took a glance and found that it was Chen Junhou, but he had no time to communicate because the Huns in front of him rushed over again.
Chen Junhou held the halberd in his hand and stabbed outwards and then swept it away. His movements were wide open and closed, creating a space in this crowded place. Several people next to him also looked at him, seeing Chen Jun.
Hou suddenly raised his shield and shouted loudly.
"rush!"
Li Mu followed Chen Junhou's movements and raised his shield to charge forward. Several people pushed flatly to push the Huns in front of them away, but the densely packed Huns were obviously not afraid of such resistance from Li Mu and others.
Although Li Mu and others pushed out a lot, when they were about to retreat, they suddenly found that the Xiongnu had surrounded them.
The situation instantly became more critical.
Li Mu couldn't care about that much at the moment. He quickly changed the movements of his hands to block possible attacks from around him as much as possible. At the same time, he kept moving his body to leave as much room for movement as possible for himself.
Several Han soldiers leaned together, Chen Junhou and Li Mu were back to back, and both sides could even feel each other's rapid breathing.
"Li He! Protect yourself!" Chen Junhou shouted loudly
"I understand!" Li Mu responded loudly.
The next moment, two people rushed out from both sides, and together with several Han soldiers, they roared loudly and waved their swords in the entire Xiongnu group.
At the bottom of the hill, Huo Qubing and others were already fighting desperately upwards. The troops of King Zuo Xian in the distance joined the battle. Huo Qubing just ordered his men to block it, and he still led the cavalry to charge madly at the hillside.
The hope of victory has come quietly, but at the place where the flags were originally erected on the hillside, several flags fell one after another at this moment.
Chapter completed!
