Yao Qi led more than 10,000 Han troops under his command and continuously repelled the offensives of four battalions of the Bronze Horse Army. However, after this fierce fighting, the number of soldiers around Yao Qi was also reduced to thousands.
Hearing that their fourth battalion had been repelled by the enemy again, Dongshan Huangtu, Shang Huaikuang and others frowned.
The former took off his helmet angrily, scratched his hair, and said fiercely: "I don't believe it, the enemy is still invincible! Send me the fifth battalion to fight!"
The Bronze Horse Army, which took turns on the battlefield, then sent out the fifth battalion, and another 10,000-strong force rushed towards Yao Qi.
At this time, Yao Qi was already covered in blood and his eyes were red. He didn't know how many enemy soldiers died under his iron-point steel gun. wavv
The commander of the Bronze Horse Army battalion was a burly man. He was holding a big iron spear and riding a tall horse. He rushed toward Yaoqi with a strange scream.
Without even thinking, Yao Qi pressed his feet into the horse's belly, shouted loudly, and the horse roared and charged back towards the enemy general.
Two war horses were walking in opposite directions, and two spears were thrust out at almost the same time. The sharp points of both spears were aimed directly at each other's faces.
Sha! The spear heads met in the air, rubbed together, made a harsh sound, and emitted a cloud of sparks. The spear of the Bronze Horse Army general was bounced away, while the spear of Yao Qi remained unabated.
A popping sound was heard in the ear. The tip of the Bronze Horse Army general's spear passed by the side of Yao Qi's head, while Yao Qi's iron-pointed steel spear stabbed firmly into the opponent's face. The sharp edge of the spear tip
Poke it out from the back of the other person's head.
After just one encounter, the general of the Bronze Horse Army was stabbed under his horse by Yao Qi.
Without even looking at the fallen body, Yao Qi urged his horse to continue charging forward, charging towards the crowded Bronze Horse Army camp on the opposite side. The Han soldiers behind him also rushed up and started a close hand-to-hand battle with the enemy.
The two sides have been fighting for so long, and all the arrows of the Han army's archers have been shot. Now even archers, a cherished weapon, are picking up spears and halberds to engage in close combat with the enemy.
Just as Yao Qi was struggling to kill the enemy, the Bronze Horse soldiers in front suddenly separated to the left and right, and a large group of crossbowmen were revealed among the crowd. These Bronze Horse soldiers were all holding crossbows, and their sharp points were all aimed at Yao Qi.
.
Snap, snap, snap!
The crossbow machines ejected in unison, and crossbow arrows flew out one after another, hitting Yao Qi's vitals.
Yao Qi shouted loudly, swung his gun to hit the arrows, and with a clanging sound, he knocked away seven or eight crossbow arrows in one breath. He had protected his own vitals, but he failed to protect his horse.
Two crossbow arrows were nailed to the chest of the war horse, and two more crossbow arrows were shot into the neck of the war horse. The war horse whined and turned sideways.
Yao Qi, who had fallen from his horse, jumped up from the ground, and at the same time, the spears swept out. Thinking that they had an opportunity, the soldiers of the Bronze Horse Army who came up were the first to be attacked. Their chests were cut by the spear points, and they fell on their backs wailing.
.
A thief soldier on the side raised his sword high and roared, slashing at Yao Qi's head. The latter dodged sideways, pushed the spear in his hand forward, and the gun barrel hit the opponent's face, beating the thief soldier.
There was blood coming from the mouth and nose, and he staggered back.
Yao Qi's shots followed one after another, piercing the opponent's chest. At this time, another Bronze Horse Army general rode out of the crowd, and his broadsword drew a long cold light in the air, flashing towards Yao Qi's neck.
Come. Yao Qi lowered his head to dodge, and while getting out of the way, he thrust the gun in his hand at the ground, and then used both hands to tightly hug the opponent's horse's neck. Yao Qi used his own strength to pull the horse hard.
When he stopped, the general on the horse was shocked. He raised his sword and was about to chop Yao Qi. The latter suddenly roared and twisted his arm to the side. He saw that the enemy general, including his horse and horse, was
It turned sideways, and with a loud bang, the man and horse fell to the ground.
The general of the Bronze Horse Army fell to pieces and lay on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.
The war horse kicked on all four hooves and struggled to stand up again. Yao Qi pulled the reins and jumped onto the horse's back. He reached back and picked up the iron-point steel gun that was stuck on the ground. He shot it while it was lying on the ground and returned it.
Enemies who have not recovered will be stabbed to death.
He urged his horse to rush into the crowd of crossbowmen, and his spears shuttled back and forth in the air, pulling out blossoming spear flowers. Wherever each spear flower bloomed, blood spurted out.
Dozens of crossbowmen had no time to reload their arrows and fired the second round of volley, and most of them were killed by Yao Qi.
The remaining crossbowmen were so frightened that they dared not stay any longer. They all turned around and disappeared into their own crowd like lost dogs.
Yao Qi roared angrily and couldn't find the enemy's crossbowman, so he fired his spear at the surrounding enemy soldiers.
The fifth battalion sent by Dongshan Huangtu was once again forced back by Yao Qi and other Han troops. This situation made Dongshan Huangtu, Shang Huaikuang and others who were watching the battle in the distance couldn't help but secretly gasp. Dongshan
Huang Tu pointed his riding whip at Yao Qi in the center of the battlefield and murmured, "How could this man be so great?"
Before this battle, Yao Qi had been secretly doing intelligence work beside Liu Xiu. He was unknown, unknown, and had no brilliant achievements.
Here in Hebei, Yao Qi's reputation cannot be compared with that of Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Geng, Kou Xun and others. Even compared with generals such as Jing Dan, Wang Liang, Liu Zhi, etc., it is worse.
Go up a lot.
So the Bronze Horse Army heard that Yao Qi was leading the Han army into Yanzhou and didn't take him seriously at all. The only thing they were worried about was that Yao Qi would run away. However, Lian Ji sent water ghosts to secretly sink Yao Qi's troops.
The ships dispelled their worries and thought that it would be easy to annihilate all the Yaoqi troops in this battle.
But when I actually took the fight, I suddenly realized that it was not the case at all. The little-known Yao Qi was actually so brave and good at fighting. With one spear, he killed dozens of our own generals and killed countless soldiers. He only commanded 20,000 soldiers.
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses was no less than 50,000 to 60,000, and they incredibly disabled five of our own battalions.
Awesome! Dongshan Huangtu grinned secretly and couldn't help but mutter in his heart. His awesome voice was not only lamenting Yao Qi's bravery, but also lamenting Liu Xiu's strong strength.
Under Liu Xiu's command, the little-known Yao Qi was so difficult to deal with and so good at fighting. If famous generals such as Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Geng, etc. were to come, wouldn't it be even more difficult for our side to deal with it?
In fact, Dongshan Huangtu didn't know that Yao Qi was no worse than these famous generals in terms of his ability to lead troops in battles. In the past, his ability to lead troops in battles was only buried because he helped Liu Xiu collect intelligence.
Shang Huaikuang turned to look at Dongshan Huangtu and asked, "General, what should we do now?"
Two hundred thousand people can't feed Liu Xiujun's 20,000 people. If this spreads out, everyone will laugh out loud. Now, it is the Bronze Horse Army who is riding a tiger.
Dongshan Huangtu licked his dry lips and said word by word: "Send out two more battalions! If that still doesn't work, send me three more battalions! Even if I use up all the soldiers in the army, I will still
The body of Yao Qi was cut into thousands of pieces!"
Shang Huaikuang glanced at Dongshan Huangtu and thought to himself, the general has hit the top! Although he thought so, he still conveyed Dongshan Huangtu's order and sent two more battalions to attack the Han army.
The battle between the two sides has lasted from morning to afternoon. No matter how brave and skilled Yaoqi is, at this time, his physical strength cannot bear it. It is difficult for him to defeat four hands with two fists. A good tiger cannot fight against many wolves. His whole body is made of iron and he can crush them.
A few nails.
Even though Yao Qi could grit his teeth and persist, the Han soldiers under his command could not hold on any longer.
The 20,000 people had fought until now, and now there were no more than 5,000 people. Facing the 20,000 enemy troops who came to fight again, people all felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
They are not afraid of death or fighting the enemy to the death. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will fight to the death with the enemy.
However, the number of enemies is too great to kill them all, and our side has no hope of victory at all.
This feeling of powerlessness, that no matter how hard one tried, could not turn the situation around, soon turned into a feeling of despair.
Yao Qi looked back and saw that the eyes of his own soldiers had lost their luster, and all that was left was despair and despair. He swung his gun forward, and slapped the horse's butt with the gun head. The horse suffered pain, but the reins were hit by Cho Qi again.
Qi held on tightly, raising the two front hooves of the war horse high, standing upright on the ground, and neighing.
The roar of the war horses made the Han soldiers who were standing with their heads bowed invariably raise their heads and look at Yaoqi.
The latter held the reins in one hand and a gun in the other, wandering back and forth in front of the other soldiers, shouting loudly: "Since I have followed the king, I have put my life and death at risk, and am determined to achieve a great cause! This dignified man of seven feet, when
How can you live like a dog with lofty ambitions? Today's battle is a life-and-death battle, but we must also display the majesty of our Han army and live up to the majesty of the king! Living in an ignoble manner is not what we expected. Today's battle can help the king achieve his great cause.
, we can also be remembered in history!”
Yao Qi's words once again aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and the fire was rekindled in people's eyes. They said in unison: "We are willing to follow the general and fight to the death with the enemy!" "We are willing to fight to the death with the enemy!"
Looking around at his exhausted brothers who had already been covered in blood and killed, Yao Qi felt his heart heat up. He took a deep breath, pointed his spear at the charging Bronze Horse Army, and said loudly: "Brothers, please charge again soon."
!”
"kill"
Facing the 20,000-strong Bronze Horse Army, Yao Qi and other Han troops did not fight timidly, but took the initiative to attack them. Another bloody battle ensued.
This battle lasted from afternoon to evening. When it got dark, the two battalions of the Bronze Horse Army began to be unable to hold on and were forced to retreat.
On the other hand, there were only about 2,000 Han soldiers left, and not a single one of them was intact. Yao Qi even suffered from more than a dozen large and small wounds. His body was dripping with blood, and it was hard to tell which ones were the enemies.
, which ones are his own.
After a whole day of fierce fighting, not to mention the exhaustion of the Han army, even the soldiers of the Bronze Horse Army who had not fought in battle were exhausted.
As the two battalions of the Bronze Horse Army were repulsed, three more battalions of the Bronze Horse Army were sent forward.
At this point in the battle, the Han army was really unable to fight. Yao Qi led the remaining Han army and fought and retreated. When the battle became dark, Yao Qi and other Han troops had retreated to the bank of the Yellow River.
Looking at the lanterns, torches, bright pitch pines, and the blazing bronze horse army on the opposite side, and then at the few soldiers left on his own side, Yao Qi couldn't help but sigh softly.
The battle has reached this point, and he and his brothers below have really tried their best, but they still can't retreat from the enemy. He really has no choice.
At this time, Yao Qi couldn't help but think to himself, if the Lord were here and faced with such a situation, how would he deal with it?
One thing is certain, the lord will never surrender to the enemy, nor will he despair. As long as he still breathes, the lord will always be full of hope and confidence.
Thinking of this, Yao Qi's eyes flashed brightly again, and he asked the soldiers around him: "Who are you waiting for to know the nature of water?"
