After Ba Yueze took away his own men, the balance of the battlefield was quickly broken.
Gu Gan quickly separated some of his troops to confront Wu Gen and continued to try to open a passage in the swamp. The other group of people circled from the south of the swamp to the exit of the bottle trap, trying to join forces with the Qiulin family and defeat them in one fell swoop. Water comes from the moon and the horse.
When the two merged and took advantage of the speed of the horse, the distance of the arrow, and the large number of people, the coalition forces could kill any Northern army horse at will on this unobstructed grassland. After all, for this encirclement, the Northern Army's men and horses were scattered on the edges of the swamps on the north and south sides. They were like a stretched rope that could easily be cut off.
Even in Shui Congyue's place, although the fighting area is smaller, if the opponent's superior forces attack from two sides, Shui Congyue may not be able to make a difference no matter how powerful he is.
Wu Gen looked at the backs of the Ba family horses that were gradually moving away and bypassing the coalition camp. He looked at Xue Xin in the north who was struggling to the west, trying to stop the coalition horses sweeping the swamp. He looked at Tudan in the south regardless of his own safety and carried his unhappiness with him. Many of his men counterattacked the coalition forces galloping eastward.
Everywhere was in danger, and it was too late to call Baoxiang to abandon the stronghold and come to support him. Wu Gen suddenly had the idea of withdrawing his troops and retreating. But the Northern Army's troops were scattered in all directions, so how could they evacuate quickly? If you retreat at this time, you can only let the opponent chase you from behind. Especially the people of the Qiulin family, will they let the Northern Army escape?
After looking at the chaotic battlefield, Wu Gen jumped on a war horse left by the Qiulin family, followed the passage in the middle, turned around and headed east. That was the place where the fighting was most intense. When the Qiulin family saw the arrival of reinforcements, their military morale was greatly boosted. They fought hard to fight against the Northern Army on the opposite side, trying to seize an escape route.
Wu Gen ran in the swamp, and Gu dared to run outside the swamp. Both of them aimed to the east. They have been fighting each other for a long time and are familiar with each other. When their eyes met, Gu Gan made a gesture of slitting his throat and urged the horse under him to move east quickly.
Wu Gen took out his Sky-shattering Bow and shot an arrow at the coalition forces behind Gu Gan. There is no use shooting at Gu Gan, it will only waste your energy.
Huge explosions occurred among the coalition forces, and people fell on the charging road from time to time. But for the huge number of coalition forces, this loss is insignificant.
Wu Gen's meaningless shooting, in Gu Gan's eyes, was more like a struggle before death, powerless, helpless, and boring.
The two arrived at the battlefield to the east almost at the same time. Shui Congyue struggled to open a passage and met Gu Gan who was coming on horseback. After fighting for a long time, he was very tired, but at this time, he could only prevent the troops behind him from being defeated by pushing forward.
When they were still more than fifty steps apart, the two jumped up from their horses at the same time. If the two of them were to fight on horseback, no horse would be able to withstand their strength.
The halberd and the gun collided, and a circular turbulence rapidly expanded in all directions. Wherever it went, whether it was people, horses, grass or rocks, they all rolled helplessly away into the distance. The ground suddenly sank, and a huge circular pit appeared. The surface of the pit was smooth and compact, like the glaze of fine porcelain.
Shui flew backwards from Yue's body, staggered a few steps and finally stabilized, while Gu Gan landed steadily. After all, manpower will eventually be exhausted, and fighting for a long time will be too much for a hero like Shui Congyue.
The two jumped up again, and there was continuous thunder in the sky. The majestic air waves fell from the sky, rolling up flowers, grass, and broken armor, making the bloody smell of the battlefield lighter.
Wu Gen's eyes were red, and he was slashing left and right with the knife in his hand, looking for Qiu Linhe in the crowd. Only by killing this person as soon as possible could the defeat of the Northern Army be slightly alleviated.
Now the coalition troops are also approaching. Under attack from both sides, the casualties of the Northern Army are rapidly increasing. Viewed from the air, the two troops are like two white waves, surrounding the Northern Army wearing black armor in the middle. That piece of black keeps melting into the waves of white.
Fierce fighting was taking place everywhere, with thick smoke and flames, erratic arrows, the sound of iron weapons clashing, and the painful howls of men and horses, filling the world.
Wu Gen ran on the battlefield, slashing at the surrounding human walls with all his strength. His mount had already been shot to death. This made it even more difficult to catch up with Qiu Linhe in the chaos.
"Hahaha." Qiu Linhe's wild laughter came from the distance, after experiencing the panic just now
, with the arrival of Gu Gan and the departure of Shui Congyue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Wu Gen struggling in the crowd, joy surged into his heart. He actually stopped running and turned around and rushed back.
If Shui Congyue couldn't beat him, how could he beat Wu Gen? Qiu Linhe was very excited. After being suppressed for so long, he finally wanted to get some interest back.
With his arrival, Wu Gen obviously felt that the pressure around him had increased a lot. Finally, he was ready to retreat, to fight his way out and leave with his men.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting in the sky stopped abruptly. Gu Gan fell from the sky and quickly gathered his team, as if he saw something was wrong.
To the east, a large cloud of smoke appeared, and a team of people was galloping towards this direction. These people were all wearing heavy armor, and each of them was carrying two strange boxes behind their backs.
At the front of the team, Li Xin was protecting Murong Yuqiang. Seeing the fighting here, Murong Yuqiang pointed her riding whip in her hand, and the men and horses behind them rumbled forward, pointing directly at the horses of the Gu family who were lining up.
Seeing the people and horses on the opposite side approaching quickly, Gu Gan felt a little heavy. These people all worked in the same camp, but now they don't know whether they are enemies or friends. According to their young master, the Murong family has probably surrendered to the Ji family.
Reluctantly, Gu dared to shout to the opposite side, "Young Master Murong, Li Xin, which side are you on?"
No one answered. Seeing Wu Gen fighting in the crowd from a distance, Murong Yuqiang pulled out her two swords from her horse and rushed towards the Qiulin family's men without saying a word.
Li Xin led another group of troops and headed straight for Gu Gan.
"You...repeated villains, the Murong family is shameless." Gu Gan roared up to the sky, but he didn't understand at this moment that the other party had really joined the Ji family. Today's great opportunity to destroy the Northern Army was interfered with by the other party. How could Gu Gan not be furious?
"Kill." Gu Gan waved his hand and led his family and horses towards Li Xin. Before the two teams faced each other, the Murong family's cavalry took off the box behind him and pulled the lever on it. A series of crisp string vibrations sounded, and dozens of short arrows flew out from the box.
This terrifying rate of fire and quantity, in the blink of an eye, formed an airtight arrow net, covering the heads of the Gu family's horses.
Within a few breaths, there were many vacancies in the Gu family's originally well-organized soldiers. Many of those who fell to the ground and died were hit by more than a dozen or even dozens of short arrows. .
It's not that the soldiers of the Gu family didn't fight back, but their own rockets were almost powerless against such an unreasonable opponent. You shoot an arrow, but others have already thrown dozens of others. How can you resist it?
"Rush forward, don't stop, fight them in close combat, the Cang family's people will cover from a distance." Gu Gan yelled with all his strength, and led his men to get closer to the Murong family's people.
As the governor, he knew the opponent's methods well. The Murong family was best at repeating crossbows, which had extremely fast firing rates and could form absolute suppression in a short period of time.
But there is a drawback: it's faster, and once the two crossbow boxes are fired, there is no means of long-distance combat. Moreover, this kind of repeating crossbow has a short range and can only be fired before the two sides engage in battle. Before that, it can only rely on its two layers of heavy armor to resist the opponent's arrows.
Compared with other family soldiers, the Murong family's melee combat ability is not outstanding, so Gu Gan wanted to survive the opponent's second wave of attacks and rush into the enemy's formation to fight.
Sure enough, a second wave of arrow rain followed, and a large number of the Gu family's men fell down. In these two waves of rapid fire alone, nearly 3,000 people led by Gu Gan died on the spot.
Soon, the Murong family members who had finished shooting the arrows took off their swords from their horses and started a melee with the remaining Gu family members.
At that moment, Gu Gan tried to fight with Li Xin.
"Why are you rebelling? The Ji family's restructuring has been successful. Why don't you, the Murong family, surrender their land and surrender their people? What's the benefit to you?" Gu Gan stared at Li Xin angrily.
He didn't understand that although his young master suspected the other party, he never took action and left enough room for the other party because he was afraid that the other party would completely fall to the Ji family. But in the end, the Murong family still rebelled, so why not make him angry.
"Yes, my Murong family wants to make friends with people. Not only do we have to hand over people, but we also take the initiative to send them to you. Let me tell you, Brother Gu, the head of our family is ready to take up the post of prime minister of the new dynasty.
With tens of thousands of people below, assist the new emperor in governing the entire province, no, governing Ji Country.
Look, the troops we brought today are to be handed over to the royal family. My Murong family will not leave any more soldiers. Li Xin waved his hand and pointed at his sons who were fighting.
"Shameless! The Murong family is indeed a villain." Gu Gan glanced to the north, where the Qiulin family was fighting with the Murong family and the Beijun army, but the young man with whom he had just fought inextricably did not come to attack Li Xin. himself, but returned to his own team.
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Gu Da, you are behind the times. The rules of the shepherds are about to change. I advise you to repent and take your family and horses to the new dynasty as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that the whole family will die without a burial place." ." Li Xin sighed, softened his tone, and sincerely persuaded the other party.
"My Gu family will never be as shameless as the Murong family. How can we give up the foundation laid by our ancestors with their lives to others. If you want to take it, take it with your life." Gu Gan shouted and rushed towards Li on the opposite side again. Xin.
Not to mention the battle between the two families, at the exit of the swamp, due to the appearance of the Murong family, most of the troops led by Gu Gan were attracted to it. The Northern Army, which was originally in danger, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Murong Yuqiang arrived, she ordered her men to launch a storm of arrow attacks. The dense arrows cleared a lot of places at once, knocking back the Qiulin family's horses who were about to rush out of the exit.
This is what people are like. These people who had just seen hope of life suddenly returned to the starting point, and their morale dropped suddenly. The team began to become chaotic and could no longer form a joint force.
Especially when they saw the disheveled, murderous water falling from the moon and returning to the army again, some people in the Qiulin family finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to turn around and flee.
"Kill, the Qiu Lin family is defeated." Wu Gen, covered in blood, held a broken knife and chased Qiu Linhe with all his strength.
"The Qiulin family has been defeated." All the soldiers of the Northern Army were shouting. The shouts were earth-shattering and quickly spread throughout the swamp.
Desperation began to spread among the entire Qiulin family, so more people were running around, trying to find a way to escape. The so-called defeat is like a mountain falling. No matter how much Qiu Linhe scolded him, he could not gather more troops.
In desperation, Qiu Linhe could only take dozens of his own soldiers, turn around and run backwards, and found a relatively narrow swamp. Stepping on the corpses of his men above him, he rushed out of the swamp.
Wu Gen and Shui Congyue had already rushed out of the team at this time, and they could not let Qiu Linhe escape. You must know how meaningful it is to the Ji family to capture or kill a young master.
With a quick step forward, Shui Congyue had already stopped in front of Qiu Linhe. With a wave of the halberd, Qiu Linhe was hit and flew out. Fortunately, the soldiers rushed out to protect the Lord and rescued the injured Qiu Linhe.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiu Linhe got on his horse, the wings on his back emitted a dazzling light, turned around and ran in the other direction.
Just after running a few dozen steps, Wu Gen saw yellow light blooming on his body, leaping high from the air, and the broken knife in his hand cut out a sharp sword light.
The sword light cut off one of the wings on Qiu Linhe's back, and cut off the horse underneath him.
When it was over, Qiu Linhe's vision went dark and he fell heavily to the ground.
