Chapter 601: One hundred men and one hundred cavalry are better than ten thousand horses
the other side--
Han Sui slowly woke up... but the stinging pain in his back only made it difficult for him to speak.
With a cracked voice, he called his lieutenant. The lieutenant heard Han Sui's voice and rushed forward with great excitement:
"General...general, wake up!"
"You were hit by an arrow before, and everyone was worried that it was damaged... Fortunately, you wore an extra layer of mail today... Only one arrow pierced the armor... But now... the general has bandaged your wound..."
"This...where is this?"
Han Sui forced himself up, stood up from his horse, and looked at the surrounding scenery with hazy eyes——
The sky in the distance has become bright, but the bright moon hanging in the east still hangs stubbornly in the sky.
Looking through the branches, the sky seemed to be connected into a line - no matter how he opened his eyes, there was only a narrow strip of sky. Han Sui felt stuffy in his chest when he saw it... he couldn't help coughing.
"Going back to the general... it's Ziwu Valley... we have already passed through Wukou and retreated all the way to the southwest. Once we pass Zikou and return to Xicheng, it won't be too late for us to rest..."
The lieutenant is worthy of being a cavalry commander who has followed Han Sui for many years. All aspects have been arranged for Han Sui...
"What are our casualties?"
This may be what Han Sui is most concerned about... What about Zhang Lu? That is Zhang Lu's business. He, Han Sui, regards his soldiers and horses as more important than his life.
Having said this, the deputy general finally lowered his head and his tone became extremely sad:
"General... our army suffered heavy casualties... Of the 30,000 soldiers and horses who are still with us, less than 7,000 are left... When we retreated, many soldiers were separated from us, and some... have been
Died on the battlefield..."
Out of 30,000 troops, there were only 7,000 left. This was not a question of heavy casualties or not. After this battle, all Han Sui's trump cards in the past ten years were wiped out, let alone a comeback... At this moment, they still had to face what would happen if Cao Cao recovered.
Later, revenge followed one after another——
Before he came, he had heard that Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun from Bingzhou were rushing towards Hanzhong... That's why they wanted to fight quickly... It's just... this time's tragic defeat was something he never expected...
"In the end...who separated us...and..."
Han Sui's mind was a little dizzy. Just after he said these words, he suddenly recalled the previous scene on the battlefield——
It's Ma Dai... Ma Teng's youngest son who stayed in Liangzhou. When he left Liangzhou before, he only thought that Ma Dai was ineffective. Even if he didn't kill him, there would be no problem... Looking back now... those three arrows...
"Ma Dai...this bastard, he cheats on me and wants me to die!"
As his anger and internal injuries increased, Han Sui spit out a mouthful of blood, frightening the generals around him to scream.
"Pooh--"
"I'm fine! I'm much better now, let's continue on our way..."
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Han Sui seemed to have regained his consciousness.
Thinking that there was a strange man beside Ma Dai, when he thought about it... Han Sui realized how he was defeated——
"Who is the young man next to Ma Dai? Could it be that he saved Ma Teng...and that Ma Dai and the others rushed back to Chang'an?"
After questioning, no one around him knew the man standing next to Ma Dai.
But when the question was asked, someone from North Korea and South Korea shouted:
"General! We don't know who that young man is...but...the enemy general who broke up our formation seems to be Cao Cao's powerful general Xu Chu..."
"What?"
Han Sui fell silent because he realized that he had been completely defeated. Not only had Chang'an not been captured, but probably... their plan had also been exposed... The generals thought that Han Sui was rushing back to the city to rest... but Han Sui had already started
Thinking about how to escape without being chased by Cao Cao.
"Thinking about it this way... Yang Jin hasn't sent me any news for a long time. Could it be... that time..."
The more he thought about it, the more hairy he became, and Han Sui couldn't help lowering his body.
The wind made his whole body ache, but the more it felt like this, the more awake he became.
However - before Han Sui could recover, the person he was most afraid of seeing appeared at the corner of the deep stream in front of him.
There were only a hundred people in front of me and one man as strong as a mountain...
Maybe they couldn't even completely defend the narrowest passage in the valley.
But it happened... This cold cavalry army of only a hundred people gave Han Sui an unparalleled sense of oppression.
"Lululu——"
The horse seemed to be affected by the murderous spirit. It trembled all over and stopped moving forward.
Before Han Sui could speak, the lieutenant beside him shouted loudly:
"There is an ambush! The entire army is on alert! Protect the general!"
It is said that the mourning soldiers will be defeated. At this moment, the desperate Xiliang cavalry seemed to have gathered their last fighting spirit. They all bared their teeth and exhaled hot breath. They could only see the nearly a hundred cavalry in the distance.
It seemed that they would just wait for an order and they would rush over with a roar.
Han Sui was astonished and just retreated to the rear. Before he could give the order, he heard a general headed by nearly a hundred cavalry yell from the other side of the valley mouth:
"The whole army attacks!"
This group of Xiliang people were dumbfounded. They only thought that the other party had set up a formation to stop them, but they didn't expect that the other party would rush straight towards them, who were overwhelmingly outnumbered.
They were despised.
An extremely heavy feeling of humiliation filled the lieutenant's chest, and he squeezed out the words through his teeth:
"I don't know whether to live or die...kill them all!"
"kill!!"
Amidst the shouts of killing, Han Sui watched the soldiers beside him rushing towards the cavalry in the distance that seemed to be coming to die.
The strange thing is that although their side has an absolute advantage, Han Sui feels that he will see the army being easily defeated by the opponent in the next moment.
"Stop thinking nonsense——"
He laughed at himself. Although he had never seen the opponent's strength with his own eyes, no matter what, a hundred people couldn't defeat thousands of people, right?
However, his smile probably only lasted less than ten breaths.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by bursts of miserable wails, the soldiers who rushed to the front with their lieutenants fell down in pieces under a terrifying hail of arrows.
Han Sui stared at all this in stunned silence. It seemed that this was not the first time such a horrific scene had been staged.
But last time... he fainted completely and couldn't even see clearly what the weapon in the opponent's hand was.
But this time, Han Sui, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, felt that his whole world collapsed at this moment.
The lieutenant obviously couldn't believe this fact.
The opponent had only a hundred people and was advancing steadily, but he could only see sharp arrows flying past his eyes.
"You...bastard! Die!!"
Unable to bear such tragic casualties, the lieutenant shouted and rushed forward with his sword raised.
However, Xu Chu would not let this happen.
Xu Chu, who was even able to leap over deep streams on foot in the mountains at a young age, was chasing a fierce tiger. He dragged the Fire Cloud Sword and executed a slash with such speed that the afterimage appeared.
In full view of everyone, he cut the deputy general of Han Sui's army in half with one knife.
