The first thousand one hundred and sixty-three chapters are defeated again
Chapter 1,163 Defeated Again
The gangsters behind Zhang Liao also had scarlet eyes like him, like demons coming from hell, waving their butcher knives at the enemy.
"Come and accept your fate."
Horqin was able to serve as the captain of ten thousand men under Bu Dugen, not only because of his noble blood, but also because of his powerful force. The spear in his hand was like an angry dragon, tearing away at Zhang Liao.
"Go away."
Zhang Liao's whole body was filled with a murderous aura, and the spear in his hand struck Horqin's spear with great force.
"hiss."
When the two spears crossed each other, Horqin felt that what he was facing was not a human being, but a legendary monster. Its power was so powerful that he could not resist it. The iron spear almost flew out of the tiger's mouth.
"kill."
Just when Horqin felt that he was about to die, Zhanmuir also came to kill him, and with a whimpering wind, the mace hit Zhang Liao's head directly.
"clang."
Zhang Liao didn't care at all about the mace coming towards him. The iron gun whipped up a strong wind and the maces hit each other directly.
Horqin, who was young and strong, was almost knocked away by Zhang Liao's iron spear, let alone Zhan Mu, an old and weak master.
With a crisp sound, the inverted needle on the mace broke directly, and then exploded in the mouth of Moore's tiger, and the mace flew away from his hand.
"court death."
Seeing Zhan Mu'er's mace being blown away, Horqin ignored his right arm that had not yet recovered, and directly swung his spear and stabbed Zhang Liao, trying to buy Zhan Mu's time.
"clang."
Zhang Liao held the gun in one hand and collided with Horqin's spear again. At the same time, he drew out the jade sword with his left hand and slashed at Zhan Muer who was retreating.
The Hun Jade knife directly scratched Zhan Mu's neck, and a flash of blood suddenly appeared, and then his head rose into the sky. The war horse carried Zhan Mu's headless body and ran for a long time before falling to the ground.
"Zhanmu."
Seeing Zhan Mu's body falling to the ground, Horqin couldn't help but roar, and shot Zhang Liao with his gun again.
Zhang Liao suddenly turned around and smiled at Horqin.
Horqin, who was charging, saw Zhang Liao's smile, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He didn't know what kind of monster he was facing, but he could kill Zhan Muer with one move.
Now he was still smiling at himself, and this smile almost didn't scare him.
"kill."
Seeing Horqin in a daze, the iron gun in Zhang Liao's hand was like lightning, and he stabbed Horqin directly in the chest.
"I don't want to die."
Seeing Zhang Liao's iron gun attacking, Horqin's fear surged into his heart. Although he had experienced life and death, he had never faced the fear of death so directly before.
He directly used his gun to pull one of Liao's spears, then abandoned the gun and ran back.
This is a situation that Zhang Liao did not expect at all. When the two armies are fighting, nine of your generals will run away. This will be a huge blow to your soldiers.
Although Horqin wanted to escape, Zhang Liao obviously didn't want to let him go. He grabbed the war bow hanging on the side of the horse, bent the bow and set an arrow, and shot a meteor arrow through space directly into Horqin's back heart.
"Plop."
Horqin lay on the horse, took a few steps forward and then fell directly under the horse.
The two generals Zhanmu and Horqin together did not go beyond five junctures under Zhang Liao's command, and one was beheaded and the other was shot to death.
The death of the two men was a huge blow to Zhan Mu's cavalry. Originally, their morale was low after being attacked by a surprise attack, but now Zhan Mu and Horqin died directly in battle. Under the double blow, they fell directly into collapse and chaos.
Some people stayed in place, some began to flee in confusion, and some people surrendered directly to the incoming Han cavalry.
"The thieves and chieftains are dead. Those who fight will be killed. Those who surrender will live."
Seeing that the enemy collapsed so easily, Zhang Liao knew that he must have killed a crucial figure just now, and it was probably the leader of the Zhanmu tribe, otherwise such a situation would never have happened.
Zhan Muer deserves to die. Logically speaking, they, the tribal leaders, should be commanding the battle in the play, but now they are being raided and have to rush to the front to boost the morale of the tribe.
And although his martial arts is not the best in the grassland, he is not an ordinary person. There is no one on the grassland who can kill him instantly. As long as he kills them together, he will be able to retreat after the soldiers see blood.
However, he happened to encounter the Han cavalry who liked to take the lead, and was directly defeated by Zhang Liao. Horqin, who wanted to express himself, was also killed by both of them.
As a result, the battle with 20,000 and 5,000 cavalrymen was coming to an end before it even started.
After hearing Zhang Liao's words, those Zhanmu soldiers who were still wandering at a loss suddenly realized what they were doing. They woke up from the shock of Zhanmu's death and surrendered to the Han cavalry like others.
"Jia Kui, lead five thousand men to collect the prisoners. Anyone with weapons will be killed without mercy. The remaining soldiers and horses will follow me in pursuit."
Seeing that most of Zhanmul's cavalry surrendered and the smaller half fled back, Zhang Liao let them go and directly pursued them with ten thousand cavalry.
"Please be honest and kneel on the ground. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."
Jia Kui looked at Zhang Liao walking away, and shouted directly at Zhan Muer's troops beside him.
"Another thing to tell you is that your Chanyu has surrendered to the Han Dynasty. I am here with his royal will to help him clear the grassland."
Jia Kui looked at the more than 10,000 surrendering troops around him and said that he represented Shanyu Bu Dugen.
Sure enough, when Jia Kui said that he came on behalf of Bu Dugen, the cavalry of the Zhanmu tribe also stopped.
Originally, they were going to rescue Bu Dugen, but now they didn't expect that he suddenly turned into a surrender of the Han Dynasty. Now the Han Dynasty wanted to help Bu Dugen to eliminate himself, so he had nothing to say.
Seeing that the enemy was much quieter, Jia Kui also nodded. Sure enough, although Bu Dugen's name usually didn't work very well, with the blessing of the big man, it had a miraculous effect.
Zhang Liao led his soldiers in pursuit, but still failed to catch up. Nearly 4,000 cavalrymen had already relied on their horse power to get rid of them and retreat towards their own tribe.
|Plop,
Zhang Liao originally wanted to continue chasing, but a war horse beside him fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
"Stop the pursuit."
Seeing this situation, Zhang Liao knew that he could not continue. After so many days of marching, the man was almost reaching his limit, let alone the war horse under his crotch.
If he wanted to continue chasing now, his horses might be exhausted before he could catch up with them.
After hearing Zhang Liao's order, the running cavalry also slowed down slowly, and then touched their comrades with their hands. They knew that their comrades were too tired these days, but they did a good job of pushing down.
"Slowly return to the battlefield."
Zhang Liao glanced at the direction the enemy was leaving, and there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes. This time, he was able to gain an advantage over the enemy. If it weren't for his own horse's problem, he would have chased the enemy directly into their lair without giving them a single cent.
Opportunity.
"promise."
Zhang Liao returned with 10,000 cavalry, but Jia Kui saw that Zhang Liao was not very interested and knew that he must have failed to catch up with the enemy.
"General, don't be discouraged. With 16,000 men attacking the enemy's 25,000 men, it is quite difficult to achieve such a result."
After thinking for a while, Jia Kui finally comforted Zhang Liao. It would be great if he could win, but it would be really difficult to annihilate them all.
"Of course I know, but I'm just not willing to let the enemy run away because of the lack of horsepower. You don't need to comfort me."
Zhang Liao waved his hand. To be a man, one must be both content and dissatisfied. Contentment will not cause problems with his mentality. Being dissatisfied will keep him motivated. This is both contradictory and complementary, so there will be no problems with his mentality.
"So what do we do now?"
Seeing that Zhang Liao is fine, Jia Kui has nothing to say. Now that the enemy has been defeated, he has two choices before him.
One is to go directly east, follow the enemy's retreating footsteps and kill into their tribe.
The second is to go west now and return to the Qiantun tribe. I believe Xun You should have completely occupied it by now. Go and fight with him to see what the military advisor has planned next.
"Now go west. It will be up to you to chase down the enemy. I believe that the military advisor must have sent people to meet us now. Our army is tired and needs a temporary rest. Do you understand?"
Zhang Liao thought for a while, he believed that Xun You could definitely see the current situation, and his soldiers, both soldiers and horses, were extremely tired. It was okay to fight once in a row, but if he continued like this, the whole army might collapse.
Already.
"Understood, I will arrange for someone to return right away."
Jia Kui nodded to Zhang Liao and immediately went to convey the order.
The army left here and began to slowly move toward the west.
"General Zhang Liao.
A group of soldiers and horses galloped over, whipping up a strong wind, and the person at the front was none other than Yan Xing, who came to support.
"General Zhang Liao, Yan Xinglai."
Yan Xing galloped on his horse and came directly in front of Zhang Liao.
"General Yan Xing, you're welcome."
Seeing that Yan Xing was arriving, Zhang Liao was also shocked. Yan Xing was the leading general in Liangzhou. He was able to come to support. It was obvious that Xun You had foreseen this situation.
"General Zhang Liao, if there is anything I haven't figured out yet, please give me your instructions."
When Yan Xing heard Zhang Liao's words, he knew that he must have something to do on his own, so he directly clasped his fist at him.
"Most of the enemy's 25,000 cavalry were killed or captured, and about 4,000 of the enemy's cavalry escaped. The enemy army was exhausted and could not pursue them at all.
Just come here now and follow me to chase them immediately, they will definitely return to the tribe, and it will be all for them."
Zhang Liao nodded. This Yan Xing was also a smart man. He immediately knew that he had something to do, so he did not hesitate and directly said that he wanted to attack the enemy's lair with him.
"promise."
"Jia Kui."
Zhang Liao named Jia Kui again.
"exist."
Jia Kui cupped his fists at Zhang Liao on his horse.
"You take the soldiers and horses to escort the prisoners back to Qiantun's headquarters to meet with Xun You's military advisor. Remember, don't let anything go wrong in the process."
Zhang Liao directly ordered Jia Kui to take the soldiers and horses to escort the prisoners back to Qiantun's headquarters.
