The face of Wang Sili, Minister of War, suddenly turned as pale as snow. The reason why he had risked his life to lead the charge against the enemy was to create a relatively leisurely retreat opportunity for everyone, but he never expected that Zuo Xiangfang Guan would
The adults "retreat" so simply and decisively.
The commander's flag fell, the commander fled with his cronies, and the morale and morale of the army plummeted. What's the point of continuing this battle?! Looking around quickly, Wang Sili pointed to the southeast where the enemy's troops were relatively sparse with his left-hand mace.
Fang ordered loudly, "Lao Lu, you take the brothers and rush out from there. I will take the guards to cut off your rear!"
"After the last general is defeated, the general leaves first!" Lu Chongben, who had always been obedient to Wang Sili, suddenly changed his temper, shook his head, and smiled miserably, "After that bastard Fang Guan escapes back, he will definitely take the responsibility for the defeat.
It's all on us. The general is stupid and can't speak to him. So the general must go back and confront him!"
"Yes, the last general will cover, the general will go first!" Several other veterans from the Hexi Army also spoke in agreement with Lu Chongben.
"You?!" Wang Sili was so angry that his vision went dark, but he knew in his heart that everything his subordinates said was true. A few months ago, Tongguan suffered a tragic defeat, and the old eunuch Bian Lingcheng who fled back blamed all the blame on his brother Shuhan.
Although Fang Guan has read a lot of books about sages, he may not be any better than the old eunuch!
At this moment of hesitation, the strong military general Han Huizu had already stepped forward. "Kill Cui Qianyou!" He knocked over an enemy general who rushed in front of him. He pointed the tip of his sword at an angle and shouted: "I am going to kill Cui Qianyou! Don't be afraid.
Come with me damn it!"
"Kill Cui Qianyou!" "Kill Cui Qianyou!" Hundreds of men responded loudly, followed the strong general Han Huizu, and rushed towards the enemy's commander's flag without hesitation.
The rebel soldiers who were about to easily clean up the mess were frightened and hurriedly stopped the interception. Han Huizu swung his sword and chopped down one, and then another. He marched forward bravely along the gaps exposed by the enemy, like a moth, fluttering.
Towards the most intense end point in life.
Dozens of brothers fell beside him and behind him. Those who were still alive continued to move forward with their heads held high, following the bloodstains of the enemy and their robes. At this moment, there was no fear or resentment in their eyes, only the endless covering.
The pride that cannot be suppressed or extinguished is burning.
"The rest of you, follow me!" Looking at the burly backs of Han Huizu and others, Wang Sili nodded heavily as if he wanted to engrave all this in his heart. Then, he pointed his mace to the southeast and issued the order again,
"Those who are still alive, follow me. Fight out from here, don't let the blood of our brothers be shed in vain!"
"Kill out and follow the general to the southeast! The blood of our brothers must not be shed in vain!" Lu Chongben led several generals to repeat loudly, and at the same time tried their best to organize more people to break through.
The two teams moved in different directions and quickly distanced themselves. The rebels, who were still immersed in the joy of victory, were caught off guard and were swept away horizontally and vertically, leaving two large bloody holes. The rebels who were dispatching their troops not far away were
Cui Qianyou noticed Wang Sili's intention and quickly made adjustments. With the sound of cheerful war drums, the elite Yanzhao soldiers who went to attack the Tang army's commander's flag turned back one after another. Team after team fought bravely to take the lead, like wolves from all directions.
Blocked the Tang army's path.
When both the enemy and ourselves were well prepared, it was difficult for the infantry armed with short weapons to block the cavalry's attacks. Soon, the strong general Han Huizu was no longer surrounded by his brothers. He was carrying a snatched scimitar. , continued to approach Cui Qianyou's handsome flag, leaving a large pool of blood behind every step he took.
Cui Qianyou was very close and looked at him with a smile. He neither evaded nor stepped forward to fight. Han Huizu rushed forward two more steps and killed two Yiluohe who were blocking the way. He also had more wounds on his body. A wound was made, and together with the previous wounds of various sizes, it slowly drained away the last of his strength.
One of Yiluohe threw a rope and wrapped it around his shoulders. He stretched out his left arm to hold the rope and dragged it forward. After succeeding, Yiluohe beat his mount desperately, and the cowhide rope was in the stalemate between the two. He quickly tightened it and quickly inserted it into Han Huizu's body. It kept making gurgling sounds, but it was still unable to drag him even half a step.
"Surrender, for the sake of being a man, I beg the commander to spare your life!" A general from Yuyang could not bear to see Han Huizu continue to be tortured, so he advised in a low voice. Han Huizu sneered in return, and added One arm came back with difficulty and sawed back and forth on the cowhide rope with the chipped blade. Just as the leather rope was about to be cut, several more people rushed forward and added four more wounds to him. Five restraints. Han Huizu struggled for a few times and found that he could not escape. He gritted his teeth, turned the blade, grabbed the front half of the blade with his hand, and stabbed it into his lower abdomen.
"Poof!" The blood splashed up to half a person's height. Several Yiluohe holding skins looked puzzledly at General Tang falling slowly in the rope, their eyes full of confusion.
"Don't cut off his head!" Cui Qianyou was also startled by Tang General's bravery. He waved his hand and rebuked several close followers who rushed to the corpse. "Let him go. After the battlefield is cleared, find someone to identify him." His name, give him a rich burial!"
"No!" The confidants agreed and stepped back in dismay. Cui Ganyou looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed, then continued his instructions, "Pass my order. Don't waste any more time. Anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed directly." Hacked to death with random knives."
"Nuo!" The cronies around him agreed and used horns to spread the order throughout the battlefield. "Woo, woo, woo, woo!" Following the sound of horns that sounded like ghosts crying, Yiluohe and the Yanzhao elites Changed tactics again. No longer expected to capture Wang Sili and others alive, but prepared to end the battle as quickly as possible.
The road to breakout suddenly became ten times more difficult. Every step forward cost four, five, or even more lives. Every time a wave of enemy troops blocking the way was eliminated, the brothers around him would fall thickly. The whole row. Wang Sili fought and ran without caring about his life, with blood flowing down his body like a stream. He couldn't tell which ones belonged to the enemy and which ones were his own. Lu Chongben and Wu Mian beside him were also covered in blood. It's blood, it's stumbling, and it's possible to fall down at any time.
But the number of rebels who came to kill was increasing, and they were becoming more and more cunning. They cooperated with each other like a pack of wolves, sometimes far and sometimes close, ruthlessly tearing off a large piece of flesh and blood in the team. Every time, they tried to Pushing the team of breakouts to the brink of complete collapse.
"Datang!" Wang Sili shouted looking up to the sky, pointing his mace forward, and rushed towards the enemy's horses. "Datang!" Lu Chongben followed closely with more than a hundred veterans, using their flesh and blood to meet the enemy's horses. Hooves to the rebels.
There is no way to escape. At this moment, everyone who understands their situation will put life and death aside. They just want to defend the dignity of the men of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they die, they must face the enemy instead of turning around and leaving behind them.
The mark of shame.
The Yiluohe people who rushed towards them were overjoyed and quickly pulled the reins a few times, preparing to crush these desperate opponents with their war horses. Wang Sili took half a step to the side before being knocked away by the enemy's mount, and then crouched down.
He swept across his body and smashed two horse legs with his copper mace.
Yiluohe on horseback was caught off guard and screamed as he fell. Lu Chongben slashed at him with his knife, gutting him directly. The surrounding veterans also rushed forward, either being trampled to pieces by the horses, or being beaten into pieces.
At the critical moment, the horse's leg was cut off. The enemy and we were mixed together, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Dingyuan General Wu Mian's helmet was kicked off by a war horse, and he fell on his back. Just when his opponent was about to give him the final blow, he suddenly jumped up from the pool of blood, grabbed the opponent's sweeping blade, and fought hard to get down.
Pulling. At the same time, he thrust the horizontal knife in his hand against the opponent's arm. "Ah!" The complacent enemy general was stabbed to the gut, screaming and falling from his horse. Wu Mian stumbled and ran a few steps, grabbing
Holding the mane of the war horse, he jumped up. Then brandishing his horizontal sword, he rushed to the place where the enemy troops were densest. While charging, he shouted loudly: "The Han soldiers are out of Dun Jinwei, and the sun shines brightly on the iron clothes. Hundreds of miles of fire."
The flags are flaming, thousands of clouds are flying, and the horses are flying..."
He was already at the end of his strength, and his roar did not contain any of the majesty of the formation-breaking music, but it made everyone who heard it feel chilly in their hearts.
"Treading on the Liao River to dry up, clamoring for the Yanshan Mountain to fly..." General Wu Mian of Dingyuan rushed forward, rushing forward, mesmerized. He seemed to have returned to the time when he wrote and joined the army, preparing to gain fame on the fortress.
When I was a boy, in the Tang Dynasty at that time, even the thousands of years of snow on the top of the Tianshan Mountains would quietly shiver with a stamp of their feet.
"Young men are so courageous that they promise to stand out from the crowd. A horse challenges the south of the city, and a single sword joins the army in the north..." Wu Mian, the general of Dingyuan, sang the military song of the Tang Dynasty, and fell asleep forever in the dream of his family and country for thousands of years. Wang Sili, Minister of War, Momo
Wiping away the blood and tears on his face, he smiled and extended an invitation to the remaining brothers, "Let's go back to Tianshan together! Don't let Brother Wu wait too long!"
"Let's go back to Tianshan together!" Lu Chongben laughed and stood beside Wang Sili with his sword raised. The other one hundred brothers smiled and wiped their faces, rushing to fight with Wang before the next wave of enemy troops rushed over.
The two generals Lu formed a small triangular attack array behind them.
"The soldiers of the Han Dynasty came out of Jinwei, and the sun shone brightly on their iron clothes. Hundreds of miles of fire flags and flaming banners, and thousands of clouds riding on horses..." I don't know who started it, but the people behind sang in unison. This song
The tune is so familiar that almost no one among the soldiers knows it. Even the rebels on the opposite side have many people who have sung it before and still cannot forget the lyrics and melody.
"Treading on the Liao River to dry up, shouting loudly to fly to Yanshan...". The triangular attack array slowly pushed forward, slowly moving towards the dream of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Wherever it passed, gods and ghosts took refuge.
"Young men are brave and brave, and they promise to stand out from the crowd. A horse challenges the south of the city, and a single sword joins the army in the north. A drum drum sends money to Xianbei, and five baits are used to resolve disputes..."
"Let's go, don't be afraid, let's go back to Tianshan together!"
