A great halberd opened a bloody path. Wherever the great halberd passed, the enemy's blood spattered everywhere, like bright red plum blossoms blooming in the air.
The man on the horse was wearing iron armor and a steel helmet. He kept shouting "kill" with a ferocious expression on his face, and his hands holding a halberd kept shaking on the left and right sides of the horse.
There were densely packed enemies around him. Behind him, before his own men could catch up, Taishi Ci was trapped in the siege and was fighting alone. With a wave of his halberd, blood spurted out, killing all the enemies around the horse, making the enemy afraid.
Being close within his own attack range, he suddenly gained a place in the enemy's encirclement.
"Anyone who doesn't want to die should stay away!"
He shouted loudly, his voice was like thunder, scaring the enemies around him to take a step back.
Suddenly, he saw the enemy move out of a gap, and an enemy general riding a tall horse and holding a spear came quickly from the gap. He glanced at the man rushing over, felt happy in his heart, and secretly shouted: "Too great!"
Okay, it’s Li Jue.”
"Whoever comes, take my shot!" Li Jue quickly ran through the gap where many soldiers were dodging, and when he approached the enemy general, he shouted loudly.
Taishi Ci glanced sideways at Huang Gai behind Sun Jian's army tent. Cheng Pu and his troops had already arrived. He braced himself, held the halberd tightly in his hand, and shouted at Li Jue who was running towards him quickly: "Someone
Tai Shici came from the east, and today is the perfect time to show off your power!"
With a loud shout of "drive", Taishi Ci clapped his horse and galloped out, stepping on the corpses of enemy soldiers in front, and galloped towards Li Jue.
At this moment, all the soldiers moved out of the way, as if something was torn in the middle, and at both ends of the road, two cavalrymen were walking towards each other, preparing for a peak showdown.
The two horses intersected, and the two cavalrymen took action at the same time. Both weapons were softened by what they had learned throughout their lives, and they were both ready to use their excellent dueling skills on the other side, striving to end the battle in one round.
In the flash of lightning, the two knights passed each other, the weapons in their hands made a fierce "clang" sound, and the faces of both men showed confident joy.
The two horses separated, and everyone was shocked. They didn't even see clearly what was going on. As the "clang" sound was still spinning in the air, a spear flew high in the night, and among them
The rider on the horse was missing.
The spear fell to the ground and the war horse neighed. Taishi Ci held a big halberd in one hand and immediately stood among the troops. The blood flowed downwards along the big halberd, dyeing his whole arm blood red. He stared wide open.
His eyes were covered with a few drops of blood on his face. Under the cover of night, he looked even more ferocious. He shouted loudly: "Everyone who is not afraid of death, come up!"
Time seemed to have stopped. Li Jue's subordinates all looked at Tai Shici dumbfounded, forgetting that they were still on the battlefield and that the enemy was still fighting hard on the outside. They were shocked to find that their general was actually hanging on the battlefield.
On Taishi Ci's big halberd, the whole person was lifted high in the air. He was motionless and did not even scream. He was already dead.
"Retreat quickly!"
I don’t know who suddenly shouted these clear words. I saw Li Jue’s men dispersed in a rush and broke out toward the west. Everyone was in a panic and couldn’t choose a way. As long as they could go to a place where others could go, as long as they could get back alive, they didn’t care about the front.
How sinister.
The army was defeated like a mountain, and the sudden low morale was like an infectious disease, quickly spreading to the surroundings. After a crash, the entire Li Jue army was boiling, not to kill the enemy, but to escape. The soldiers who were fighting the enemy on the edge were not there yet.
After understanding the situation, they were pushed out by the people behind them. They either hit the enemy's weapons or were trampled to death by their own people behind them. The Xiliang soldiers of about 20,000 people lost control because they lost their leader.
The situation on the battlefield was turned around once again.
Gao Fei, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Li Tie were all on the official road to the west. They were killing people inside, but they saw the people surrounded by them rushing out desperately, and the momentum was like a flood, which was unstoppable.
.
"What happened?" Gao Fei and others were forced back by the Xiliang soldiers who suddenly rushed over. He was still confused about the situation and asked hurriedly.
"It's Taishi Ci. He killed the enemy general Li Jue. The Xiliang soldiers were defeated." Zhao Yun pressed the saddle with both hands and stood upright on the horse. He looked forward and saw Taishi Ci's big head.
He picked up Li Jue's body on his halberd and replied hurriedly.
"Get out of the way, let the Xiliang soldiers pass, and let the soldiers cover and kill them on both sides of the road." Gao Fei saw that these defeated Xiliang soldiers had become extremely brave in order to survive and break out of the encirclement, and their strength was indeed not as good as these Xiliang soldiers.
If the Liang soldiers block it blindly, they are likely to be swallowed up by this group of defeated Xiliang soldiers.
As a result, the road to Bishui Pass was opened, and the officers and soldiers of the Feiyu Army who were originally blocking the official road to the west immediately moved to both sides of the road and carried out cover-ups on both sides of the road.
Once the escape route was opened, Xiliang's defeated troops ran forward as if their lives were dead. The cavalry and infantry were all out of formation, and they ran forward desperately despite the murderous intent brought by both sides of the road at any time. As long as they ran back to Bishui Pass,
They can survive.
Like a flood, more than half of Xiliang's defeated troops quickly ran away. When the last small part was left, Taishi Ci galloped over on a horse, carrying Li Jue's body behind him.
Half of his body was stained red with blood.
"Lord, I killed the enemy general!" Taishi Ci proudly showed off.
Gao Fei smiled at Taishi Ci and said: "Very good, this time you are the first to succeed. Now, please lead your men to rush over with me. The Xiliang soldiers have been defeated, and the enemy's morale is low. It is time to capture Si
Good opportunity in Shuiguan.”
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei led Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci, Hua Xiong, and about five thousand cavalry to bite the tail of Xiliang's defeated troops and cover them all the way.
Li Tie rode back and found Sun Jian's position behind him. Seeing Jia Xu, Xun You, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and Zu Mao all gathered together, he jumped off the horse. He took out the ancient
Ding Dao walked straight to Sun Jian, cupped his hands and said: "General Sun, my lord asked me to hand this over to the general. My lord said he is very grateful to the general. My lord is chasing the defeated soldiers now, and I hope General Sun will leave some of his people to clean up."
On the battlefield, lead the rest of the cavalry to rush to Sishui Pass."
Sun Jian took his ancient ingot sword and immediately turned around and said: "Zu Mao, Bo Fu, you lead all the infantry to stay. The rest of you all mount their horses and follow me to attack Sishui Pass."
"promise!"
Gao Fei led Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Hua Xiong and five thousand cavalry in pursuit, killing many Xiliang infantry and some straggler cavalry. However, the distance between Xiliang cavalry and infantry had widened.
After this situation, Gao Fei left Tai Shici to lead 2,000 cavalry to intercept the Xiliang infantry on the road. He led Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong and 3,000 cavalry to cross the infantry blocking the road in front, directly pursue the Xiliang cavalry, and strive to win over Xiliang
When the cavalry enters the pass, they can take the opportunity to seize the city gate.
After the troops were separated, Gao Fei, Zhao Yun, and Hua Xiong quickly caught up with the Xiliang cavalry. When they saw a Guancheng not far away, they felt extremely happy in their hearts and hurried towards Sishui Pass.
.
Sishui Pass has long been deserted. All the grain, grass, money, weapons and equipment within the pass have been moved away, leaving only an empty city. The doors of Sishui Pass are wide open, and Xiliang collapses.
The soldiers rushed into the pass as if they were dead. When they saw that there was no one in the pass, they were all shocked.
Just when they were panicking, they saw the words "Retreat from Tiger Prison" posted everywhere on the walls. The cavalrymen who knew the words shouted out loudly. So, everyone did not dare to stop here and walked straight through Si
Shuiguan, heading towards Hulao Pass.
Gao Fei and others pursued them to the foot of Sishui Pass. They were immediately puzzled when they saw that there was no defense on the pass and the Xiliang cavalry did not stop and escaped directly through Sishui Pass.
As he galloped into the city, Gao Fei shot to death a Xiliang cavalryman in front of him with a bow and arrow. He looked at the words "Retreat troops to Hulao" posted on the wall. His brows furrowed, and there was a sudden thought in his heart: "Could it be said that the enemy deliberately
Did you give up Sishui Pass?"
He couldn't figure out why, but since it was certain that there were no enemies at Sishui Pass, Gao Fei led his men to continue chasing the Xiliang cavalry, hoping to kill more.
He left Hua Xiong and a thousand soldiers to garrison Sishui Pass, while he and Zhao Yun continued to pursue the enemy with two thousand cavalry.
As soon as they left Sishui Pass, the road ahead suddenly opened up, with endless fields as far as the eye could see. Gao Fei, Zhao Yun and others pursued for about three miles, killing hundreds of Xiliang cavalry with arrows. When they were about to continue the pursuit, they were surprised.
I saw a group of soldiers and horses standing directly in front of them. The soldiers were all carrying torches. All the soldiers were cavalry. They were lined up in a straight line, leaving only a small intersection for the defeated Xiliang cavalry to escape.
The firelight flickered, and the puma cavalry were lined up like fire dragons under the night sky. A large flag embroidered with the word "Xu" fluttered in the weak night wind. Right in front of the army, a fully clothed general held a broadsword.
, spurred his horse forward and took a few steps forward, shouting at the pursuing Gao Fei and others: "If anyone comes, stop, if you dare to pursue me again, your entire army will be wiped out."
Gao Fei stopped his men, looked at them intently, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Prefect of Xingyang, former general Xu Rong, have been waiting here for General Gao for a long time!"
Gao Fei was startled and asked: "Did you know I would come?"
Xu Rong laughed and said: "General Gao, please stop pursuing me. If you take a step forward, don't blame me for being rude."
Gao Fei was very puzzled. He was thinking about what was going on. Since Xu Rong could wait here, it meant that the enemy knew that Li Jue would be defeated and that he would pursue him, but they took the initiative to abandon Sishui Pass.
He didn't set up an ambush for an ambush, but stood there blatantly. He couldn't figure it out, so he asked: "General Xu, I don't understand something, and I would like to ask for advice."
Xu Rong smiled and said: "No need to ask for advice, Mr. Li said that in order to thank you for killing Li Jue, this Sishui Pass was given to General Gao. If you want to attack Luoyang, just gather all the troops of your coalition here."
Let’s fight to the death at Hulao Pass and say goodbye!”
