Lian Ji refused and refused to sit down. In the end, Dongshan Huangtu sat on the main seat, and Lian Ji sat on his left. After everyone sat down, Dongshan Huangtu asked in surprise: "Lian Gong's intention, the Chooqi Department"
Just a bait?"
"Yes!" Lian Ji nodded with a smile and said: "Now, our army does not want to be the enemy of Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu is even more unwilling to be the enemy of our army. Therefore, Liu Xiu was so cautious when he sent troops to Yanzhou.
And don’t dare to send too many troops.”
After a pause, he smiled slightly and asked, "Are the 20,000 soldiers and horses from Yaoqi a match for Brother Bronze Horse?"
The generals of the Bronze Horse Army present laughed out loud and said proudly: "There are only 20,000 people, not worth mentioning."
Lian Ji said: "Knowing that we are outmatched, we still send troops into Yanzhou. If it's not bait, what is it?"
Dongshan Huangtu showed a look of sudden realization. He pondered for a moment, patted his thigh, and sighed: "If our army can kill the Yaoqi tribe, it will greatly weaken Liu Xiu's morale and greatly enhance our army's prestige, but it is a pity...
"
Having said this, he shook his head helplessly.
Lian Jixiao asked: "Why does the general think that it is impossible to kill Yao Qibu?"
Dongshan Huangtu frowned and said: "Since we are here to serve as bait, Yao Qi's troops will definitely not fight to the death with our army. I'm afraid that before they can fight, Yao Qi will lead his troops to run away. When the time comes, Yao Qi's troops will cross the river and head north. I
There is nothing the army can do against him!"
Lian Ji was delighted when he heard this and asked: "What will happen if the Yaoqi tribe has no boats to cross the river?"
Dongshan Huangtu was startled when he heard this, and said in surprise: "There is no boat to cross the river? Yaoqi led his troops, but they entered Yanzhou by boat!" They came by boat, how could they not have a boat when they wanted to run away?
?
The smile on Lian Ji's face deepened and he said slowly: "Boping is near the river. When I was an official in Boping, I had nothing to do and trained a group of water ghosts. Before the battle, let Ruo send out these water ghosts.
, secretly scuttling the ships of the Choqi tribe, what does the general think?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was overjoyed. Dongshan Huangtu even clapped his hands excitedly and said, "If so, Mr. Lien has helped our army a lot!"
As he spoke, he simply stood up and bowed respectfully to Lian Ji.
Shang Huai Kuang and other generals of the Bronze Horse Army also stood up one after another and saluted Lian Ji together. Lian Ji looked up and smiled, waved his hands to everyone, and said, "Generals, there is no need to be so polite. Please sit down quickly."
After everyone sat down again, Lian Ji said seriously: "The Red Eyebrows, Bronze Horses, Qing Calf and other armies are all in the same breath, their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, and the Bronze Horse is in trouble, how can there be any reason to stand idly by and ignore it?"
This time, the Red Eyebrow Army sent its main force into Hangu Pass to attack Chang'an. Along with the Red Eyebrow Army, there were also rebels from Hebei, including the Bronze Horse Army Branch, the Qingdu Army Branch, etc.
Dongshan Huangtu raised his hands and said, "Lian Gong is so kind to me that I will never forget it!"
So far, Yao Qi still doesn’t know the specific strength of the Bronze Horse Army he faces, nor does he know who the leader of the Bronze Horse Army is. He led 20,000 Han troops and approached Boping, where the Bronze Horse Army was located.
within the county.
Outside Boping City, Dongshan Huangtu and Shanghuai Kuang led an army of 200,000 bronze horses to fight against Yao Qi.
There was no need to fight, just looking at the strength of the opponent's troops, Yao Qi and the soldiers under his command were heartbroken.
I saw the Bronze Horse Army on the opposite side, which was overwhelming and boundless. Compared with it, the 20,000 Han troops were really pitiful. The gap in strength between the two sides was not two or three times, but ten times.
As for the Bronze Horse Army, there was no formation at all. After seeing the Han army on the opposite side, Dongshan Huangtu, who was sitting in the middle army, waved his hand and ordered: "The whole army attacks! Who can be the first to cut off the head of Yaoqi?"
, a reward of one hundred taels of gold!"
Dongshan Huangtu's order was passed on, and the eyes of the Bronze Horse Army were red. There was no formation of troops or advancing in square formations. Two hundred thousand people rushed forward at once.
The crazy charge of 200,000 people was so terrifying that it was like an overwhelming force.
Yao Qi took a deep breath and shouted: "Line up in a rectangular formation to meet the enemy!"
Following Zhao Qi's order, 20,000 Han troops formed a rectangular formation, with heavy shield soldiers on the outside, spear soldiers and halberd soldiers inside, and archers in the center of the camp.
The Han army had fought against the Bronze Horse Army, and they knew very well the three axes of the Bronze Horse Army. There were two or three soldiers behind each heavy shield of the Han army to resist the collision of the Bronze Horse Army. The archers in the Han army's camp
There were thousands of people, but the volleys of thousands of people fell into the crowd of 200,000 bronze horse troops, like a stone sinking into the sea, without even a ripple.
Under the crazy charge of the Bronze Horse Army, the two sides quickly came into contact. There was a continuous sound of people's bodies hitting their shields, and the muffled sounds of spears and halberds piercing people's bodies came one after another.
Rows of Bronze Horse soldiers died in front of the Han army camp, but the Bronze Horse soldiers behind still charged forward desperately.
Gradually, more and more Bronze Horse soldiers fell, forming a circle of corpses outside the Han army camp. The Bronze Horse soldiers who charged next no longer had to bump into the shields, but stepped on the bodies of their companions.
The corpse can directly jump over the Han army's shield array and fall into the Han army's crowd.
I saw the charging Bronze Horse soldiers jumping up one by one and falling into the crowd of Han soldiers. Some were pierced on the spot by the spears and halberds below, and some were crushed on the heads of the Han soldiers.
Hit a group of people.
The soldiers of the Bronze Horse Army who landed on the ground looked like wild beasts, waving their swords and slashing at the surrounding Han troops.
This battle can no longer be fought. The difference in strength between our own side and the Bronze Horse Army is too great. In addition, the Bronze Horse Army is fighting too hard. The 200,000 enemy troops cannot be resisted by our mere 20,000 soldiers.
Liveable.
Yao Qi made a decisive decision and ordered Ming Jin to retreat.
With the rapid sound of the gong, the Han army camp began to retreat step by step. How could the Bronze Horse Army give them a chance to retreat intact?
The people's attacks became more and more frenzied, and the soldiers of the Bronze Horse Army all had their bloodshot eyes widened, swung their weapons, and hacked at the Han soldiers desperately.
When the blade of the sword is cut off, use your fists, teeth, and all the weapons in your body to strike hard and bite the enemy's vital points.
Facing such a group of crazy and beast-like Bronze Horse Army, the Han army could no longer retreat unscathed. They could only abandon their companions at the rear and run as fast as they could.
The Han army led by Yao Qi retreated all the way from Boping County to the Yellow River. They originally planned to retreat here, take a boat and return to Jizhou, but when they arrived at the river bank, everyone was dumbfounded.
It turned out that all the boats they used to cross the river had disappeared, and there was nothing on the river bank. Just when Yao Qi and others were surprised, more than a hundred wet soldiers ran over. When Yao Qi approached, everyone knelt on the ground.
The leader of the camp said in a trembling voice: "General, our...our ships were suddenly attacked by water ghosts, and all of them...all sank to the bottom of the river..."
Hearing this, Yao Qi's head buzzed, and the surrounding Han soldiers were also stunned and frightened. How could we cross the river without boats?
The Bronze Horse Army behind them was in hot pursuit, and ahead was the roaring Yellow River. The Han army led by Yao Qi was already in a desperate situation.
The terrible thing is that this is not Jizhou, but Yanzhou. It is the world of the Red Eyebrow Army. But here in Yanzhou, no one will come to reinforce them. It would be good if they don't reinforce the Bronze Horse Army.
Seeing the despair on the faces of the soldiers around him, Yao Qi took a deep breath and yelled: "What are you afraid of? How can a mere bandit army scare us? When the king was in Kunyang, he had three thousand thin armors.
Defeat 400,000 reckless thieves! Today, there are not 400,000 bronze horse thieves, and our army is far more than 3,000!"
While speaking, Yao Qi took off the iron-pointed steel spear hanging on the victory hook of his war horse, looked around, and said loudly: "Today I will imitate the king and fight to the death with the thieves! Those who are not afraid of death, follow me into battle to kill the enemy.
!”
At this time, of the 20,000 Han troops commanded by Yao Qi, only 10,000 were left. After hearing Yao Qi's words, the despair in people's hearts was immediately replaced by fighting spirit. Thousands of Han soldiers shouted in unison and followed
At Yaoqi, he faced the bronze horse army that was chasing them and fought back.
Yao Qi took the lead, riding his horse with a gun, and rushed forward. Right in front of him, a general of the Bronze Horse Army rushed out. This man was holding a Yanyue Sword. While rushing towards Yao Qi, he raised the Yanyue Sword high and screamed in his mouth.
strange screams.
The two sides had just come face-to-face, but without waiting for the opponent to slash him with his sword, Yaoqi's gun shot out like a dragon, piercing the opponent's chest and knocking the Bronze Horse Army general off his horse.
Then, he swung the spear forward in his hand, and the edge of the iron-pointed steel spear drew a half-moon-shaped cold light in the air.
Hearing the sound of sand, the three soldiers blocking the front of the war horses had their chests and skirts cut open, bleeding profusely, and they fell to the ground screaming.
The injured soldiers were still struggling and squirming on the ground, and the war horses had trampled over them. Taking advantage of the inertia of the war horses, Yao Qi pierced out with a spear. There were two pops of pops, and Bin Tiejian's steel spear pierced the two soldiers together.
.
He shouted loudly, picked up the spear hanging with two corpses, and the two corpses were thrown out and fell into the crowd, knocking down a group of people.
Yao Qi urged his horse forward, stabbed the spear in his hand, and killed dozens of enemies in one breath.
At a critical moment, when life and death were on the line, Yao Qi used all his abilities. At this time, it can be seen that Yao Qi's force is not at all inferior to that of Ma Wu and other powerful generals.
The iron-pointed steel gun in his hand was flying up and down among the enemy troops, as fast as a shooting star and as agile as a swimming dragon. The Bronze Horse Soldiers surrounding him were one person rushing up, one person falling down, and a group rushing up.
, a group fell down.
Yao Qi's bravery greatly aroused the fighting spirit of the Han army soldiers. People followed Yao Qi and fought fiercely with the surrounding Bronze Horse Army soldiers.
Hearing the bad wind blowing beside him, Yao Qi turned his head subconsciously and saw a cold light flashing toward him. He raised his spear and heard a crisp clang, and an arrow shot at him hit him.
It spun and flew out.
However, when he deflected the arrow, a rider suddenly rushed towards him and slashed at his waist.
Yao Qi dodged sideways on his horse, but the armor under his ribs was still swept by the blade. There was a sound of sand, and a long gash appeared on the armor, and blood immediately flowed out. Yao Qi didn't even say a word, and he just hit back.
With his spear, he stabbed the Bronze Horse Army general who was attacking him with a sword under his horse.
Seeing that Yao Qi was injured, the besieging Bronze Horse Army rushed towards him, whining and shouting, as if they had been given blood.
Yao Qi swung his spear and stabbed it, killing dozens of enemy soldiers who were attacking and felling to the ground. The Han soldiers shouted: "Protect the general!"
People used all their strength to move closer to Yao Qi, surrounded him, and protected him to the death.
"Get out of the way!" Yao Qi shouted loudly, spurred his horse out of his own crowd, and continued to fight the Bronze Horse Army with a gun.
Ma Wu, the God of Wu Plague, and Yao Qi, Tai Sui of the Han Dynasty, these two can be regarded as door gods by later generations, frightening demons and monsters, and they are not in vain.
Yao Qi, who had always been somewhat unknown in the past, this time fighting against the Bronze Horse Army on the edge of the Yellow River in Yanzhou, completely demonstrated his value in being respected as a goalkeeper by future generations. wavv
With 20,000 Han troops facing off against 200,000 Bronze Horse troops, Yao Qi showed no fear. He had an iron spear in his hand, and among thousands of enemies, he could kill people if he blocked them, and kill Buddhas if he blocked them. He was unstoppable.
You must know that what Yao Qi is facing at this time is not a ragtag group of soldiers and generals, but a bronze horse army with excellent individual combat capabilities, bravery and good fighting skills, and not afraid of life and death.
