The failure of the first charge made the Chinese army feel very worried. Seeing the huge crowds of people at the foot of the mountain, every soldier knew in his heart that if he wanted to charge out from here again, the chance would be slim.
As the Chinese soldiers expected, the Xianbei people immediately mobilized their troops and strengthened the defense of the mountain pass.
After all, Taishi Xiang was not Taishi Ci. Although the halberd technique was passed down by Taishi Ci, from all aspects, he could only be regarded as a second-rate general and could not be compared with Taishi Ci. What's more, the soldiers all followed Taishi Ci and saw Taishi.
When Ci was defeated, he became even more discouraged, which in turn was self-defeating.
Taishi Ci slowly opened his eyes, looked at the lonely sky, endured his own pain, slowly sat up, looked around the situation in the tent, and then remembered that he had been beaten by Taishi Xiang.
He fainted. He jumped up from the bed and quickly walked out of the tent. When he saw the marching director outside, he asked: "How is the battle going?"
When the marching chief saw Tai Shici regaining consciousness, he immediately said: "General, are you awake?"
"Answer me, how is the battle going?" Taishi Ci asked with a gloomy face and a cold voice.
"General, the young general led the charge and was about to break through. However, there were too many people in Xianbei and the main road down the mountain was too narrow. Our army was forced back again. Oh, don't worry, general.
, the Major General has nothing to do, he is in the front army."
After hearing this, Taishi Ci sighed heavily and said: "The first charge failed. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to break through again..."
He moved his arms to see if he could move, but the arrow wound on his left arm penetrated deep into the bone marrow. As long as he moved, the pain would penetrate his heart, making it unbearable.
"Go and send an order to all the ministries to prepare to retreat. I will personally lead the army to break out..." Tai Shici endured the excruciating pain and slowly said to the marching director.
"General, your injury..."
"I'm not in the way. It's just a superficial wound. I'm sending orders to the front army and can be dispatched at any time. I will personally go out to fight and fight a bloody road so that all the brothers can go back." Taishi Ci said as he strode towards
He stepped forward, enduring the pain in five or six places on his body, and walked forward step by step.
On the main road in front of the mountain, Taishi Xiang was still watching every move of the Xianbei people around him. He suddenly heard Taishi Ci coming and was immediately startled. He turned around and saw Taishi Ci's face was pale and his eyes were dull, so he hurriedly said:
"Father, why do you..."
Taishi Ci raised his hand to signal Taishi Xiang to stop talking, and he said: "Song Xian, Hou Cheng listens to the order!"
Song Xian and Hou Cheng immediately clasped their fists and said, "The end is here!"
"I order you to protect Hao Xiang'er. You will follow me personally. I will fight a bloody path in front of you and send you out. Let all the soldiers be prepared. This is our last and only chance.
If you can't get out, you will have to sit back and wait for death." Taishi Ci said loudly.
Song Xian and Hou Cheng cupped their fists and said, "No!"
Taishi Xiang shouted: "Father..."
"Shut up! You will not be punished for the crime you have committed below. I will keep you alive for the sake of protecting my government. From now on, all your military positions will be removed and you will be reduced to a soldier. When you return to China,
, repent well!" As Taishi Ci said this, he walked up to Taishi Xiang, reached out and snatched away his Wind and Fire Hooking Halberd, and at the same time ordered his men to take off Taishi Xiang's armor.
Taishi Ci put on his horse again. On the surface, he continued to be strong and showed no pain at all. But only he knew how much pain it was. But for the sake of his son and his subordinates, he had to do this.
"Mount the horse!" Taishi Ci had already ordered the only 500 cavalry under his command. They were also the cavalry archers he relied on most. They were good at striking at long distances. Once in close combat, their combat effectiveness was not inferior to any other unit.
"Beat the drums to cheer! After three drums, all the soldiers will attack in full force! After breaking out of the tight siege, go straight to Yunzhong Mansion to gather!" Taishi Ci waved the Wind and Fire Hooking Halberd and shouted loudly to his subordinates.
Generals are brave soldiers. As soon as Taishi Ci showed up, all the soldiers cheered and shouted the words "mighty and mighty" loudly, and their morale was once again boosted.
Taishi Ci put on his helmet, mounted his horse with a halberd, and pulled the reins. The horse immediately let out a long hiss of "Herod", raised its two front hooves high, and when it landed, it smashed on the ground.
There was a big pit, and then the strong four hooves began to run forward with force, carrying Tai Shici forward.
Xianbei's Great Chanyu looked from a distance, but saw that the Chinese army began to charge downwards again, and the leader of the army was the real Taishi Ci. He immediately felt happy, hurriedly put down his telescope, and said loudly to King Zuo Xian: "
This time, Taishi Ci personally leads the army to break out of the encirclement. No matter what, don’t let Taishi Ci escape. If you want to see people in life, you want to see corpses in death."
King Zuo Xian immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, Da Shanyu, Tai Shici won't be able to escape."
The Great Chanyu of Xianbei was named Ke Wuneng, and he was the younger brother of Ke Bineng. Since Ke Bineng and many heroes of Xianbei died in Yanmen Pass, Ke Wuneng led his people to flee to Mobei, and had no contact with the Central Plains for ten years.
There were conflicts between the two countries. However, Ke Wuneng would never forget that his brother Ke
Bi Neng died in the hands of the Huaxia Kingdom, so he secretly recruited troops and gathered 300,000 Xianbei soldiers. He was worried that he would not have a chance to compete with the Huaxia Kingdom. This time the Huaxia Kingdom's western expedition also happened to give him a chance.
This gave him an opportunity to fight back, and took this opportunity to severely damage the Huaxia Kingdom.
"Release the iron cavalry!" Ke Wuneng looked at the battlefield and immediately ordered.
As soon as the order was issued, the Xianbei people immediately withdrew, leaving a large open space.
Taishi Cici was leading his army to charge when he suddenly saw the behavior of the Xianbei people. He was puzzled and thought to himself: "What happened to the Xianbei people?"
Before they had time to think about it, rows of war horses chained together suddenly appeared in the Xianbei camp. Each war horse was covered with a layer of vest, and there was also a knight riding on the horse.
They were each wearing armor, armed to the teeth, and were charging forward with vigorous steps.
"This is..." This is definitely not the first time Taishi Ci has seen this kind of chained horses, because this method of fighting first originated from the Huaxia Kingdom. When the Huaxia Kingdom was founded, this kind of chain of horses was used.
The chain of horse formations, which outsiders call the iron pagoda, became the final cavalry team of the Chinese nation.
However, the cost of making Tiefutu is too high, and the maintenance cost is also very high. Each war horse is of an excellent breed and must have enough endurance. Therefore, Huaxia still has 5,000 Tiefutu, just because of insufficient mobility.
Gao, the horses were abandoned due to their aging, and were usually only used as a guard of honor.
However, the iron pagoda that appeared in front of them put Taishi Ci and others in a difficult situation. They had only used this kind of thing to fight the enemy before, but now the enemy used this kind of thing to deal with themselves, which suddenly made them feel that
A lot of pressure.
"Herod..."
Taishi Ci hurriedly reined in his horses, and when he saw the large number of Tiefutu pressing over him, he immediately shouted: "Back off! Back off! Everyone back off!"
The Xianbei people released their iron cavalry, and archers from both sides approached. Taking advantage of Taishi Ci's troops' fear of Tiefutu, they began to press forward step by step. For a time, arrows rained like rain, and more than a thousand Huaxia soldiers were lost.
Taishi Ci did not fight in a single battle, but was forced back by the Xianbei's iron cavalry. He couldn't help but feel that this was a great shame. Although the Xianbei people did not go up the mountain, but such a troop was displayed below, how could they
It's impossible to break out.
When he was hesitating about what to do, Song Xian suddenly pointed at the back of the Xianbei people and shouted loudly: "General, look!"
Taishi Ci hurriedly looked in the direction of Song Xian's finger, and saw that the Xianbei people's camp was burned by fire. The fire spread outward very quickly. A group of cavalry was fiercely attacking behind the Xianbei people, hitting the Huaxia people.
flag of the country.
"Reinforcements are coming?" Taishi Ci was confused and immediately shouted.
"General, yes, it's the reinforcements, it's the flag of the General King. Look at that unicorn flag..." Hou Cheng said excitedly.
After hearing this, Taishi Ci immediately shouted loudly: "The three armies are listening to the order. The reinforcements have arrived. Our army should cooperate with the reinforcements to attack. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. We belong to the men of China. Show your courage!"
The Chinese soldiers who were besieged on the mountain were very excited because of the arrival of reinforcements, because they saw that they had survived. If they didn't fight their way out, they would die. If they fought hard, there would still be a glimmer of hope.
So, Taishi Ci was in front, followed closely by Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Taishi Xiang, and behind them were soldiers of all ranks, more than 60,000 people, all rushing towards the mountain.
Ke Wu could see a sudden fire at the rear, so he hurriedly used the captured telescope to look from a distance, but he saw Gao Lin leading the way, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, riding a red Dawan horse under his crotch, and was riding among the Xianbei people.
There was a conflict between the left and right, and all those who came close were killed, including the warriors of Xianbei. So Ke Wu Neng pointed at Gao Lin and asked, "Who is this young general?"
"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, he is Wang Gaolin, the powerful general of Qinzhou, Liangzhou and the Western Regions. He is the second son of the Chinese national dog emperor. It is said that he is brave and unstoppable in the three armies, comparable to Lu Bu back then...
"A person familiar with the matter reported immediately.
Ke Wu could see smoke billowing and yellow sand dancing behind the cavalry led by Gao Lin. It looked like there would not be such a formation without hundreds of thousands of troops. He also saw Tai Shi Ci leading the people to charge downwards, and he couldn't help but shout in pain: "
The Huaxia Kingdom is powerful. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, we will retreat and pass on the order to withdraw the entire army and withdraw to Thang Long City."
