Chapter 175 Fighting General One 【For Fengrui Red Envelope 1/2】
Chapter 175 Fighting General (1) [12 more updates for the sharp red envelope]
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon.
At that time, Hu Biao and others, who were tempted by the spring, had already drank the last sip of water in the water bag.
At noon, I didn't take a break as usual, but drove all the way with the most vicious scorching sun of the day above my head.
By now, we have reached the canyon, which is only two or three miles away.
After arriving here, which should be the entrance to the canyon, Hu Biao and the others could clearly see that the vegetation was far more lush than other places, and they knew at a glance that there was abundant groundwater nearby.
Therefore, that spring should not have dried up yet.
Suddenly, the last worry in their hearts was completely gone.
But at this moment, without waiting for Hu Biao and others, the horses were also tired and whipped on their bodies to rush to the col as quickly as possible.
Then I stopped leaving this afternoon and took a good rest near the spring.
Suddenly, a loud horn horn sounded in my ears.
Then, fortunately, amidst the loud sound of horse hoofbeats, at least three to five hundred horsemen rushed out of the mountain col with a large amount of agitated sand and dust.
Looking from a distance, these people are all dressed like horse bandits on light horses.
The defense is very poor, but it is definitely flexible and fast enough.
Seeing this, Hu Biao had a strong urge to curse, and he yelled: "Unfortunately, there is an ambush here, Ban Sima, Guo Zheng, you go quickly, I will cut off the rear for you."
Lao Yang, protect them both, the future tasks will be up to you."
After saying that, Hu Biao planned to call some of the personnel to dismount and form a formation to stop the enemy, and asked other personnel to follow Ban Chao while Yang Dongli and the others fled quickly.
It's like cutting off one's tail to survive, allowing a small number of people in the team to survive.
Otherwise? It’s better for some people to die here than for everyone to be wiped out here, right?
As long as Ban Chao and Guo Xun are not dead, and there are still some people left in the team, there is always some hope of completing the mission.
As for why they dismounted and formed a formation instead of directly riding on the horse to fight? Especially, it seems that they have the kind of riding skills to fight with the opponent on horseback.
But when faced with Hu Biao's kindness, Ban Chao didn't appreciate it.
In other words, this kind of scene is just that to him.
Anyway, Hu Biao's voice just fell, and he started to drink loudly: "You can't escape, and now it seems that you can't escape even if you want to.
You all listen to my orders, form a formation on the spot, and be ready to fight; wait for someone to come forward to challenge the enemy and kill the enemy general, and then charge forward together.
As long as these horse bandits are killed and defeated, we will naturally have a way to survive."
At this moment, Hu Biao, whose head was so hot that the sun was burning like stars, finally realized: Yes! There is really no way to escape, and there is no way to escape in their current state.
Because of their war horses, whether they are horses under the crotch or horses carrying supplies.
After traveling for a long time, I am almost exhausted now; if I really start running, I am afraid I will run to death soon.
In contrast, those horse bandits have been waiting for work for who knows how long. Their horsepower is at their most abundant, and I believe they will be caught up soon.
Besides, the spring in front of them is the only source of water around them that can be replenished.
Even those who were lucky enough to escape from the horse bandits would die of thirst in this vast desert.
Rather than being chased down and killed in a panic, or dying of thirst, it would be better to die happily...
*******
If you can't escape, then let's fight to the death! This was the only thought in Hu Biao's mind after he came to his senses.
But even so, he still didn't have any expectations for Ban Chao's plan to challenge the enemy face to face and then take the opportunity to kill the enemy general to win, and thought it was impossible.
Think about it? These bandits have been waiting for work for so long, and they obviously have a huge advantage.
It is clear that as long as he rushes over directly and relies on his accumulated advantages, he can swamp their exhausted opponents. Why would Mao choose to fight with the generals?
It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense.
Even Hu Biao actually knew that in the Three Kingdoms period more than a hundred years later, the generals from both sides would fight before the two armies at every turn.
It seems that this method of fighting between two armies is quite popular these days.
He still felt that as long as the opponent's leader didn't have water in his head, he probably wouldn't agree to such an outrageous request.
The problem was that Hu Biao soon realized that he still knew too little about the characteristics of the current era.
In other words, this situation is a bit special.
Amidst Ban Chao's loud shouts, Hu Biao and others slapped their horses and formed a small battle formation in two rows.
While talking, they all held their bows and one-handed crossbows, preparing to shoot for a while, then switched to cold weapons and engaged in a deadly fight with their opponents.
Then Hu Biao was so nervous that he tightened his grip on a bow in his hand, and he didn't even notice that his finger bones turned white due to the excessive force.
The horse bandits who rushed over actually saw an incredible scene.
It was clear that as long as they rushed over desperately and killed or injured only one or two hundred people, the horse bandits could completely win this battle.
Facing Hu Biao and others, they formed a formation on the spot.
But it was in the shouts of the leader, a man with brown hair, blue eyes, and a big beard, who was probably thirty years old.
One after another, they were about two hundred meters away from them and grabbed the horses at their crotches.
These horse bandits showed their superb riding skills. Seeing such a scene happening, everyone wisely did not shoot an arrow.
After seeing the horse bandits under his command, they all stopped one after another.
Then the man who was the leader of the horse bandits roared, and Hu Biao finally understood why the current strange scene occurred:
"Listen, you Han army, because the Huns have said that if you bring the envoy alive, the reward this time will be doubled.
As long as you honestly lay down your weapons and surrender, a certain 'Blue-toothed Wolf Zahar' swears in the name of our ancestors that I will spare your lives."
It turns out that they are more valuable alive, and after taking into account the casualties and profits, these horse bandits appeared in the current situation.
Before Hu Biao could sigh, their luck was quite good and they still had a glimmer of hope.
Ban Chao waved the horse-killing sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Zhahar, the blue-toothed wolf, listen, it's easy for me to capture you without mercy, it just depends on whether you have this ability.
As long as you win this sword in someone's hand, everything will be easy."
"Okay! Let me take a look at the martial arts of the Han messenger from Zahar." After the horse bandit leader said this, he was already ready to pat his horse and trot towards the open space in front of the two armies.
It can be said that under the current situation, the scene of fighting generals was magically triggered.
Seeing the other party agreeing to fight, Gan Ying said in his mouth:
"Ban Sima, you can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, why don't you let me go forward and kill this guy, take his head and present it to Sima's case."
Unfortunately, before Ban Chao could even ask whether he would agree to Gan Ying's request, Gan Ying was already shaking his head and cursed: "Hu Yitong is such a thief~"
Because at this moment, Hu Biao had already slapped his horse hard and killed him first.
After running a few steps, he started shouting: "Son of a rich man, if you don't want to sit in danger, I will ask someone to help you kill this beast..."
