Chapter 34 Retreat the enemy

The range of the bow and arrow could not exceed two miles. Zheng Ze had led the army for many years and had rich experience in on-the-spot command. He took out a small flag and raised it. The flag was blowing in the opposite direction. There was a headwind at the moment, which would affect the range of the bow and arrow.

Zheng Ze did not rush to order the archers to attack. He stared straight ahead. The opponent had already rushed two miles away and was about to enter the shooting range. He was waiting, but Huang Xun did not need to wait any longer, because he was Facing the wind, the cavalry advanced again, and within two miles, they were already within shooting range.

"attack!"

Huang Xun roared angrily.

"attack!"

"attack!"

Hundreds of soldiers around Huang Zhuang raised their heads and roared, and the sound was loud and spread in all directions.

Thousands of cavalrymen immediately took out their bows and arrows from their backs, drew their bows and fired arrows.

The rain of arrows filled the air, and under the cover of darkness, it exuded a strong murderous intent.

Ah! Ah!

Screaming, hundreds of enemy soldiers were hit by the rain of swords and lay on the ground, rolling and groaning in pain.

The cavalry led by Huang Xun was indeed elite. In just a moment, it had already fired five rounds of sword rain. Nearly a thousand enemy soldiers were killed or wounded. However, Zheng Ze's troops were not ordinary. Although there were many casualties. , but it did not cause too much chaos, and the formation remained intact.

At this time, Huang Zhen and others had already rushed a mile away. Zheng Ze looked grim, raised his hand, waved it down violently, and shouted: "Shoot!"

After receiving the order, three thousand archers immediately set up their bows and fired arrows, and began to counterattack with swords flying.

Huang Zhuang had five hundred soldiers beside him, all of whom were elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. Li Xun was among them. At this moment, he already regretted it. Huang Xiong was a general who was not afraid of life and death. He charged forward. This was As a result, Li Xun's position was also at the front. As the opponent counterattacked from a distance, countless swords rained down. Li Xun's face turned pale and he raised a wooden shield the size of a washbasin.

As each arrow hit the shield, Li Xun's mind would tremble. From time to time, people around him screamed and were hit by arrows, rolling over from their horses and falling to the ground. Some of the arrows even touched Li Xun's hair. The arm of Li Xun's raised shield was already trembling. He had never felt that the god of death was so close to him.

For the cavalry, the distance of one mile can be reached in the blink of an eye.

The thousands of spearmen in the front row of Zheng Ze squatted down, thrust their spears into the ground, and stabbed at an oblique angle of 45 degrees. This was the best formation to deal with the cavalry.

Huang Zhen rushed to the front, pulled up the horse rope, sat down, and the horse rose up. It was several meters high, directly crossing the spear formation in the front row. His horse was fully armored, fearless of the impact of the spear, and fell directly to the ground. among the crowd.

Behind Huang Zhen, five hundred heavily armored cavalry, also fearless of the assassination of spears, rushed directly into the formation, and suddenly they fell on their backs and opened a gap.

Huang Zhen was nearly fifty years old, but he was extremely brave. With one sweep of his sword, several soldiers were killed on the spot. With his broadsword swung, countless enemy soldiers surrounded him, but they were unable to get close for a while.

Five hundred heavily armored cavalry drove straight in, joined Huang Jie, and charged forward violently.

Huang Xun's goal was very clear, which was to charge directly into the enemy's center, capture the thief first, and capture the king first. He made great progress along the way, and in just a moment, he was already a hundred meters away from Zheng Ze.

Zheng Ze's expression suddenly changed. He never expected that Huang Zhuo would be so powerful and his soldiers would work so hard.

Liu Xiang was already panicked and said in fear: "Huang Chao is so powerful. He is approaching so quickly. How can we resist it?"

Zheng Ze was also a staunch man who had been on the battlefield for a long time. While roaring, he led a thousand elite cavalry soldiers to kill him.

There were enemies everywhere, and it was impossible to defend against them. Li Xun had been stabbed several times in the back and chest. Facing the approach of death, Li Xun's animal nature was completely aroused. While roaring, he waved the sword in his hand crazily and slashed left. He slashed right, and within a short time, he had already killed several people.

The general will sacrifice his life, how can any of the soldiers in the three armies be timid?

Everyone followed the general forward without fear of life or death.

The fierce fighting continued.

"Huang Zhen, keep your life."

Zheng Ze came forward and rushed towards Huang Zhu, holding a spear and stabbing him.

"Well done!"

Huang Zhen laughed wildly, without any evasion at all. He held the knife in both hands and raised it high, slashing violently with murderous intent.

"madman!"

Zheng Ze's expression changed drastically. How could he dare to trade one life with him? He quickly changed his tactics, holding guns in both hands and raising them high.

The sword and the spear collided violently.

After just one face-to-face encounter, Zheng Ze's palms cracked. The horse couldn't bear the pressure when he sat down, and his legs bent and he collapsed directly to the ground.

Zheng Ze rolled to the ground, his hands trembling, and he looked at Huang Zhu with a horrified expression. How could this man, who was not well-known, be so powerful? He couldn't resist even one of his moves.

Huang Xun slashed with his sword and was about to take Zheng Ze's life.

The soldiers around Zheng Ze were roaring, and they stepped forward to block the sword with their bodies, and successfully defended Zheng Ze.

Zheng Ze's face was pale, and the courage in his heart was broken. He still dared to step forward and fight for his life, but he retreated under the guard of his own soldiers.

Not long after, the horn sounded, and Zheng Ze's side began to withdraw its troops.

"General, shall we pursue?"

Mao Fu'an, covered in blood, rushed to Huang Zhu and asked loudly.

There was a hint of disappointment on Huang Zhen's face. It was just a short step away from Zheng Ze dying under his own sword. It was a pity.

"Withdraw!"

Huang Zhen thought for a moment and finally shook his head. Huang Baichuan was on his side and it was not appropriate to pursue him.

............................

Although the battle between the two sides did not last long, the battle was fierce and the casualties were heavy. Three thousand soldiers stayed on this land forever.

Li Xun accidentally rescued a wounded soldier. This man had one of his legs chopped off. Without Li Xun's rescue, he would have died of excessive blood loss in a short time.

Li Xun tore off his clothes and hurriedly bandaged him. After working for a long time, he finally helped him stop the bleeding.

In the dark night, everyone ran all the way and finally met up with Shan Qiu and others.

The strange thing is that Huang Baichuan's five thousand soldiers who blocked Shan Qiu and others immediately retreated after seeing the arrival of Huang Sheng's army and did not want to fight.

Li Xun rode up to Huang Zhen and saw several stab wounds on his body. Thinking of his desperate gesture just now, he couldn't help but sigh: "General, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, why do you have to fight so hard?"

"This sword was given by the late emperor. If I retreat, how can I live up to the kindness of the late emperor?"

Huang Zhuo touched the Yanyue Sword in his hand and looked at the words on the blade, "loyalty to the emperor, fearless". These four words were a little scrawled, but they were carved by Pingzong himself. Such a great favor, Huang Xiu would not dare to forget it even if he died.

Li Xun was silent. He couldn't understand Huang Zhuo's mood. An old man who was nearly fifty years old dared to work so hard. How many people in the world could he have?
