But Yuchi Jiong was Yuchi Jiong after all. He soon came to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer so that more people can leave alive."
Yu Chiqin was startled for a moment and sighed.
He knew what the old general meant. The Xianbei cavalry rushed over just to save Yuchi Jiong's life. After Yuchi Jiong left, the Xianbei cavalry naturally did not want to continue fighting. When the cavalry retreated, there would still be at least more troops behind Yuchi Jiong.
Tens of thousands of defeated troops will become the enemy's prey.
It is the duty of these Xianbei soldiers to rescue Yuchi Jiong, but if they want to exchange their lives for the lives of these Northern Zhou Han soldiers who may be defeated at any time, they will certainly feel that it is not worth it. You must know that the battle has just begun.
At that time, the Xianbei cavalry rushed towards the Han cavalry with great momentum, but they were confused by the Han cavalry. In the end, they were scattered by their own infantry, and were even forced to retreat all the way to Hangu.
close.
For these Xianbei soldiers who originally wanted to fight the enemy, this is obviously a shame, so they have a little more distrust of the Han soldiers around them. What else can you do besides causing trouble?
If this battle were all fought by us Xianbei people, why would the old general have to retreat because he was attacked from both sides?
But in Yuchijiong's eyes, everything cannot be so narrow-minded. The northern Han people still account for the majority in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If these northern Han people cannot be united, they can be restrained by the idea of kinship between heaven and earth and loyalty to the emperor, and they can be restrained by the idea of robes and robes.
If the brotherhood of sharing life and death influenced them, then these Han people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty would probably have even less sense of belonging to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
What Yuchijiong was most afraid of was not actually that the Han army would drive out all these Northern Zhou soldiers. If the Han army massacred them, Yuchijiong would even welcome it, because it meant that the Han army was taking the initiative to kill the Northern Zhou soldiers who were actually not much smaller in number than the Han army.
The Han people took the initiative to push them into the arms of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but if Li Xingchen treated the prisoners leniently and appeased the people, it would be a nightmare for the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Yuchi Jiong could not make a decision for Li Xinchen, but he could still make a decision for the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, at least for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, especially in the crucial army, Yuchi Jiong would never allow the dispute between Xianbei and the Han people to happen.
The estrangement has led to the outbreak of conflicts and conflicts between the two ethnic groups.
For the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it meant that one's backbone would be directly interrupted, and it would also be a precursor to destruction. Even a hundred more Luoyang cities and Hangu Pass could not stop the surge of people's hearts.
It’s not that Yuchi Qin couldn’t understand the truth that Yuchi Jong understood.
But
Yuchiqin now had to consider the actual situation. The Han army that was now surrounded from all sides seemed likely to engulf the struggling Zhou army at any time. As the Zhou people gradually retreated along this passage, leaving behind
The soldiers of the Zhou army who came down had almost no desire to resist, they just thought that they might be the next ones to run out.
At this time, Yuchiqin, Yuchi and others were still struggling to support themselves on the periphery, barely resisting the fierce attack of the Han army from the rear. Only a few backbone of confidantes gathered by Yuchiqin, Yuchi and others with great difficulty. Most of these soldiers had received favors from the Yuchi family, or
They are similar to Yuchi's family members and personal generals, so now when Yuchi's life is in danger, they can still fight in blood.
However, these people were not many in number after all, and they were the main force in the battle just now, so all of them had already lost their glory. Facing the heavily armed and attacking Han army, they were just barely holding on.
Even Yuchi Qin and Yuchi themselves didn't know how long these soldiers could hold on. They could only hope that they could hold on for as long as possible.
Yuchijiong closed his eyes and sighed: "These must not be able to leave anymore, so let them sacrifice and still have some value."
Yu Chiqin was silent for a moment.
Yes, when these personal guards and Yuchi family members rushed up, they were already destined to be unable to leave alive. It was also because of their belief in death that drove them to continue fighting with the Han army, and their sacrifices became
To be more valuable, naturally, is to allow more soldiers to escape. The soldiers who are killed now will naturally be the foundation that Yuchi Jiong can rely on to regroup in the future.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The musketeers of the Han army came forward, announcing the end of the Northern Zhou army. Even the bravest soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had little power to fight back when faced with bayonets and muzzles that were almost pressed against their chests.
.
Rows of Zhou people fell, some faced the Han army, and some fled. Regardless of whether they were fighting or fleeing, they were naturally treated equally in front of the muskets.
"Dad, retreat!" Yuchi, covered in blood, rode up from behind. Behind him, he could even see the waving red flag of the Han army.
Several of Yuchi Qin's personal guards rushed forward and helped Yuchi stop the Han troops who broke into the heart of the Northern Zhou army. The appearance of the Han troops here also showed that the peripheral Zhou troops could not hold out for much longer.
Before Yu Chijiong could speak, Yu Chiqin had already grasped the reins of his horse and galloped forward. The Xianbei cavalry in front could no longer withstand the constant oppression of the Han army, mainly the Han army's swordsmen and even heavy armored soldiers.
They have already pushed up, and there are musketeers and crossbowmen at the rear to provide support. The cavalry has almost no power to fight back in front of these enemies.
However, the Xianbei cavalry still hoped to prove themselves by rescuing Yuchi Jiong, so most of the cavalry tried their best to move closer to Yuchi Jiong's direction instead of protruding to the outside.
Yuchi Jiang looked around and saw that there should be four to five hundred cavalrymen.
From three thousand to four to five hundred people, this is still a team with relatively small losses in this battle.
God knows how many troops Zhou lost in this battle!
Yuchi couldn't care less about his heartache. What was more important at this time was to fight out: "Charge!"
This time, the Northern Zhou cavalry did not care anymore and began to fight outside. The Han army's crossbows covered their team again and again. Almost all the people in front turned into hedgehogs, but they still maintained their forward charging posture.
He has died, but the horse is still galloping.
The Han army surrounded them layer by layer, and the Northern Zhou cavalry fought them off layer by layer.
People kept falling, but their desire to live still allowed them to constantly open a gap in front of the enemy's formation.
Lu Guangda looked at the scene in front of him and regretted it. He really regretted it. Even if he had thirty heavy armored soldiers in his hands at this time, let alone fifty, Lu Guangda was confident that he could stop them!
In fact, there is no need to stop them at all. As long as they can slow down their speed slightly, subsequent reinforcements can catch up and trap them tightly.
