Chapter 45: Turning the tables

 Chen Chong's riding skills are average. If he wrestles with others on horseback, he can knock himself down. If he is asked to charge into the battle with the soldiers, it will be even more powerless. But now he climbed up the sand mountain, and all his steps were in front of him.

With the defenseless flank, he only needed to trust Han Xian and others. He turned around and saluted General Bai Bo and said: "Chen Chong will leave the victory or defeat of this battle to you."

He then arranged twenty large drums on this mountain ridge, using brown clay as the drum frame, cowhide as the drum skin, and pear wood as the drumsticks. The crisp drum sound exploded over the south bank, attracting the attention of all the fighting soldiers.

Past. The drumming stopped, and the figure of the White Wave Knight drew a slanting shadow in the morning sun. His sword was covered with sunlight, and the crowds of people were like waves in the forest.

Twenty drums sounded together again, and the leading general shouted in agreement. Yang Feng took the lead to rush down the hillside, followed by eight thousand white wave knights. Horse hooves trampled on the brittle and soft soil slope, and the dust turned into waste in the strong wind.

The white wave knight lowered his waist, holding a gun in one hand and a shield in the other. The shield was blocked in front of the horse, and the spear and halberd were thrust upward, while the Xianbei knight hurriedly attacked.

The moving iron thorn forest easily tore apart the makeshift front line, hitting the vulnerable flanks of the Xianbei knights. The Xianbei knights tried their best to avoid the spear thorns, but they carved long and ferocious marks on the belly and back of the horse. The horses neighed and struggled, and the saddles were tied.

The belt was also broken, heads were rising and falling in the smoke, and the number of bearded Xianbei knights was decreasing sharply, which made Su Liujin Heiqiao anxious.

Ignoring the sound of Bu Dugen's horn, Su Liujin Heiqiao turned around and whipped the scattered Xianbei knights to his side, and said to everyone: "Unexpectedly, the Han army still has a back-up plan. At this time, we are deeply trapped in the enemy's camp. If not,

If the thieves are defeated, they will be completely defeated. This is a time of life and death. Please follow me and fight against me!" After saying this, he threw down his iron armor, raised a seven-foot long sword with his left hand, and pulled the bridle of his mount with his left hand. The mount was carrying him straight through the snow.

The Han army marched forward, followed closely by the seven hundred Xianbei knights, fighting with the Baibo knights.

The vanguard of Bai Bo saw him swinging the long knife, and it flashed like a moon arc. The two people he met were chopped into four pieces, half of their bodies rolled on the ground, and their intestines were dragged out. The knight behind took advantage of him to put away the knife and stabbed him.

The Xianbei general had already raised his horse and turned around, changing direction. The Xianbei knights behind him followed and closed in. General Bai Bo could only watch him leave.

Su Liujin Heiqiao was so excited with just one kill that he untied all his armor and threw it away in the crowd, leaving only a piece of cowhide for the armored knight under him. Qianli Xue was so excited that he roared loudly, as fast as the wind and lightning.

He broke into the Han army's formation again, but the Baibo warriors were not as powerful as they were brave. They killed more than ten people repeatedly with his hands, and their sprinting momentum was also weakened.

Seeing this, Yang Feng asked the cavalry to move closer and shoot at Su Liujin Heiqiao randomly. Su Liujin Heiqiao couldn't get close, so he had to re-armor and fight with the Baibo knights again. When the Baibo knights saw him, they all shouted loudly.

Said: "That man is a beast that can swing a seven-foot iron sword to cut people's waists. He is back again! Don't let him go." After Xu Huang heard this from the flank, he picked up his weapon and rode around to the front of the formation, attacking Su Liujinhei.

He shouted: "Xianbei dog, I am Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, the commander of the Baibo Army! Who are you? I will not kill the nameless thief!"

When Su Liujin Heiqiao saw Xu Huang moving forward, he raised his knife and slapped his horse, grinned at him, and then said in blunt Chinese: "Han'er is talking nonsense! I, Su Liujin Heiqiao, am the six pillars of the court under Shan Yu, Su Liujin Heiqiao."

The number one warrior of the Liujin tribe, he has been growing up on horseback for thirty-six years, and has killed more than a hundred dead souls under his sword. Now you are provoking me. Unless you kowtow and beg for mercy now, I will definitely hang your head on the saddle.

Up!"

After the shouting, the blood of the soldiers on both sides was boiling, and the hoarse shouts of killing gradually covered up the drums on the mountain. Su Liujin Heiqiao turned around and said to the knights: "We are fighting today. Just listen carefully: you will die in front of the battle, or you will be beaten."

A hundred rounds have passed. Other than this, there is no one other than me, the Xianbei man!" After saying that, he covered his face with his iron armor and leapt forward to charge.

Xu Huang's weapon was a long-handled giant axe. The ax head was made of Baiyang Steel, and the handle was eight feet long, also made of iron. He swung the more than 100 kilogram ax as usual, and hit Su Liujin's black crotch.

The long knife struck a spark, and the momentum reached the waist. Both horses couldn't help but take a few steps back. Xu Huang's mount was a brown-maned horse, which was not as powerful as Hei Qi. Su Liujin Hei Qi rode first and caught the horse.

The sword covered the attack, and Xu Huang could only defend and retreat one after another.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, and Hei Qiao had the upper hand, but was still unable to convert the victory. The strong attack was laborious, so he temporarily pulled his horse and stopped to rest. Xu Huang saw him take a few steps back, as if he wanted to stop fighting, and he felt in his heart

A feeling of suffocation finally aroused, and he caught up with him, and struck the black leg with an ax head-on. The black leg still met him with the blade, but they fought continuously, and there were many gaps between the blades. Xu Huang's ax went straight into the blade, and the seven-foot-long sword broke.

It was cut in two pieces, and the head of the black-legged mount was also chopped off.

Black Leg's mount is a rare horse from the Western Regions. It is all white without a trace of variegation. In winter, it can blend in with the snowy wilderness, so it is called Qianli Snow. But now it is just bleeding all over the ground. Black Leg fell and Black Leg fell.

He wanted to throw his hand and cut off the knife, but he injured his wrist and could not move. When he was about to rescue him, Xu Huang abandoned his axe, pulled out his knife, cut off both of his arms, and finally cut off his head.
This scene was seen by Bu Dugen, who couldn't help but cursed: "You fool, don't you know that fighting a tiger also requires a battle of wits!" He analyzed the situation in his mind: Now Liu Bei leads the Tiefu people to intercept the forward, and the White Wave Knights attack the flanks.

, it is difficult to advance westward, and there is no way to go north. The battle line is too long, which means that it is controlled by others. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to completely defeat the Han army. If the withdrawal is delayed by a few steps, the situation will be reversed.

It will become Xianbei's defeat.

Tuoba Jiefen was the first to ride forward and came to him urgently and said: "Sir, this raid has been failed! Our army defeated the left wing of the Han army. Although it was not a complete victory, it was still a great achievement. But now the flank is ambushed.

If it is broken, the defeat will be irreversible. Even if a strong man breaks his wrist, he can still turn defeat into victory. If he hesitates, he will surely suffer the consequences of Shan Yu!"

These words touched Bu Dugen's heart, but he still asked: "Why don't I want to? But how to withdraw our troops now? My brother has already begun to cross the river. If we want to withdraw north, if we are not careful, we will cut off the south bank, and our brother will be harmed."

If we return the same way, the military situation is urgent and there is little time to gather the troops. Brother Tuoba, do you have any advice for me?"

Tuobajie Fen slapped his horse and sighed, "Your Majesty is impatient, how can we not retreat to the north? The king's army has already attacked the north bank, and I have captured all the Han army's rafts. We only need to turn our backs to the defeated army, and the Han army will certainly be unable to pursue it."

, just let us wait to cross the river slowly." After some concessions, Dugen suddenly realized, and he hurriedly said to his attendant: "Go north! Go north!"

Bu Dugen no longer looked at the tribesmen who were trapped in the siege. Nearly half of them were left behind. Tuoba Jiefen endured the pain in his injured feet and held up the flag of Suo Head high. The black and yellow flag cloth was embroidered with black tail and white

Harrier, he had already taken off his iron armor, only wearing black fur clothes, revealing his heroic face. The Xianbei people who were fighting saw him riding at the front, and they all said: "That is Lord Suotou who is in love with the goddess of heaven. We will follow

Him."

Chen Chong stood on the top of the mountain, squinting as he led his team through the burning smoke. The path he chose was not short, but there were disorderly Huns soldiers on the road, unable to stop them from moving forward. Instead, they disturbed the white wave knights who were trying to pursue.

In two moments, the black-tailed white kite managed to rush to the river bank and joined the main force of Xianbei who was crossing the river.

There was only a slight commotion in Xianbei's formation. Wang Qi, who had already crossed the river, stopped advancing. The situation surprised everyone. Wang Qi began to retreat without hesitation, leaving several square formations on the river bank. The rest of the troops immediately began to collect the Han army's movements.

By the time the Han army completely controlled the chaos, the Xianbei King's Banner had crossed the north bank of the river again.

Seeing that all the Xianbei people were about to cross the river, Wei Yan led the remaining Baibo infantry and finally rushed from the northeast to the river bank. Seeing that they were late, the Xianbei people insulted and ridiculed them on the bank of the river, but the words had not yet been spoken.

, Baibo archers randomly fired arrows at them, and the north wind was dry and cool. However, the Xianbei people mostly wore furs as clothing. In order to maintain stability when crossing the river, the rafts supported each other and huddled together in the river, and soon a fire was lit on the river.<

/p>

In the slowly rising sun, the soldiers on both sides of the river saw flames rolling on the water, and screams could be heard in the wilderness. Finally, they were drowned by the surging river. As a result, nearly three thousand Xianbei warriors threw themselves into the river and never got out of the water again.
All the Xianbei nobles gathered around the leader. They looked at the Shanyu, who was deeply loved by his people, and his face was ashen. At the same time, they were quite frightened. If they had withdrawn a little later, this strange force of the Han army had set a fire on the river bank.

The Xianbei army had no way to escape and could only be strangled to death by the Han army.

The first battle between the two armies came to an end. The losses in this battle were still dominated by Xianbei: the Han army lost more than 26,000 people, and the leader's losses were close to 9,000 at most. Xianbei won this battle, but

The Xianbei commanders had no joy in winning.

This time the Shanyu used a plan to attack by surprise, and everyone thought it was a winning strategy. It would definitely defeat the Han army and sweep the entire Han army. However, the end result was that the enemy saw through the plan and set up an ambush to almost encircle them.

Killing a large army made everyone feel ridiculous, so much so that Tuoba Jiefen said to his father Tuoba Lin: There are wise men among the Han people. Since our army cannot win quickly, I don't know how many sons will die here.
p>

The Xianbei people were three-quarters timid, while the Huns were eight-eighth. The ruins of the camp on the south bank were in a mess, with burnt and trampled bones scattered throughout. The stench of smoke and flesh was disgusting, and the Huns cleaned up

On the battlefield, I saw princes and slaves all dead together, the wailing warriors had turned back into mortals, and the brilliance of their swords had all faded.

Ou Tuoquan, the king of Zhuge on the right, and Mo Yue, the king of Guli on the left, both said to Liu Bei: After this battle, except for the Tiefu people who followed Liu Bei's middle army, nearly half of the other tribes were killed or wounded. It is not easy to give birth to a man. This battle

The fight could no longer go on. After saying this, they shed tears at each other: In the past, the Huns were roaming the northern border, but now they are defeated one after another. How can they live up to their ancestors and the court? Others were moved when they heard this.

On the contrary, Liu Bei's expression remained as usual. He had calmed down his mind and said to the survivors: "If you give up and admit defeat at this time, I, Liu Bei, will never be willing to do so! Even if you don't want to fight anymore, don't leave. You all can stay here."

Just wait and see how we kill the thief!"

He looked at Chen Chong and nodded slightly. Chen Chong then turned to Liu Deran and said, "Let Yunchang and the others cross the river tonight!"
