"The military advisor has an order not to kill anyone who surrenders!"
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished shouting, the messenger was picked up by Xiao Rui and threw a short spear at him, piercing his chest and falling off his horse.
"Bah! I, the man of the Tang Dynasty, will never surrender! All follow me, sharp arrow array!"
At this moment, being trapped in a tight siege, there was no time to increase the horsepower to penetrate the enemy formation. There were enemy cavalry on the inside and outside on the third floor. To use the sharp arrow formation again was to seek death. Su Lie wanted to persuade him, but out of his trust in Xiao Rui, he held back and silently walked to the last corner on the left. If it was too convenient, he could stop in time.
Xiao Rui was still the arrowhead, but this time he did not fight too far alone, but just maintained the formation and let the cavalry behind him keep up with him to avoid being penetrated by one person, causing the rear to be disconnected and easily broken by the enemy.
Zhao Deyan stared at the battlefield with cold eyes and sighed: "This Xiao Rui is brave and resourceful. If he is allowed to go back safely, it will be a disaster for the grassland in the future. Send the order, everyone blocks the Tang Army cavalry and forces Xiao Rui to return to the rescue, even if it costs human lives Dui, we can’t get away from him today.”
The command flag was waving, and the Tang Army's front arrow array was wrapped more thickly. Xiao Rui was okay, he had one man and one horse. No matter how many people surrounded him, the place he could stand around was limited. He could only face a dozen people, and he slashed with all his divine power. Like melons chopping vegetables, no one can stop me.
But behind him, the sharp arrow formation that was heading south was unable to do so. The enemy piled up thicker and thicker, almost squeezing people and horses, and it was very difficult to take a step south. Except for Xiao Rui, the Tang Army's cavalry was not invulnerable, so the casualties were also high.
Su Lie shouted: "Transform into a circular formation! I will break the rear, Chang Shi, you guys leave quickly..."
After shouting, the remaining two thousand cavalrymen immediately formed a circular military formation. Fighting in circles can reduce casualties, and they can also take turns changing inside and outside. The disadvantage is that the advance to the south is slower and it is completely defensive.
Two thousand people fell into the tight encirclement of the two men, ten to one. Over time, only those left were consumed to death.
Qin Huaidao shouted: "Brother Xiao, capture the thief first and capture the king first!"
Xiao Rui glanced at Zhao Deyan, who was heavily protected in the distance, and shook his head: "Hold on, we are less than five miles away from Yumen Pass."
Yes, this five miles away is as difficult as a natural chasm, and every step costs a life. A wave of determination and sadness surged into the hearts of everyone, as if grief and anger turned into strength. The Tang army's combat power increased by another 10%, and there was an anger and courage that wanted to sacrifice themselves, fight a bloody path for Paoze, and regard death as home.
"Kill the barbarians..."
At this moment, a roar came from the front, and the five thousand veterans from Yumen Pass arrived. He actually ran on two legs for five miles. Cheng Chumo was surprised and said: "The reinforcements are coming, let's kill them together!"
Qin Huaidao sighed in his heart, five thousand old soldiers, running for five miles, do they still have fighting strength?
Combat power?
The next second, he really saw what combat power was.
The five thousand old soldiers were like hungry wolves seeing flesh. Although they were fighting cavalry on foot, they were not afraid of death. They frantically attacked the enemy cavalry from the outside. Some were good at riding horses, killing people and seizing horses, and some were good at fighting on foot. Constantly chopping the horse's legs and catching the enemy off guard with a simple confrontation shows that these veterans have extremely rich combat experience. But a group of second-generation people were shocked.
Seeing this situation, the mood of the Tang army was high, as if they saw hope of survival, Zhao Deyan panicked, "We can't let them join together, stop it, stop this group of Yumen Pass remnant soldiers!"
stop? They are completely unafraid of death and trade lives for lives. How can you stop them?
The Turkic cavalry were busy encircling Xiao Rui on three levels inside and three outside. At this time, the cavalry were all crowded together. There really was no infantry to help. How could this group of old pawns achieve a nearly one-for-two advantage? Really scary.
Xiao Rui laughed wildly, activated his internal strength, and shouted angrily at Zhao Deyan: "Zhao Deyan, open your eyes wide and see, the Tang army is invincible."
After saying that, he turned over and dismounted. With a flip of his hands, he put away the weapons in both hands, and two giant hammers appeared. The Turkic cavalry surrounding him were all dazzled and stunned in surprise.
Unfortunately, Xiao Rui would not give them time to react. He raised his hammers flat, jumped up and turned around. The heads of a group of his cavalry were surrounded by them, like watermelons, each one was smashed to pieces by a pair of giant hammers.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Rui swung his giant hammer, transformed into a humanoid hot wheel, and used the power of an infantry battle to crush the enemy, directly encircling the Turkic cavalry, and cut a smooth path that was ten feet wide.
Under the surprised eyes of both sides of the battle, they killed the enemy in front of them in less than a quarter of an hour and joined the reinforcements at Yumen Pass.
At this time, Xiao Rui's side had only more than 6,000 infantry and cavalry. The Turkic side still has 15,000, and the strength of the two sides is still very different.
"Prince-in-law, we have cut off the rear, you should hurry up and enter the pass. It will be safe once you enter the Yumen Pass." Guard Huo Anshun shouted.
Xiao Rui glanced at the Turkic cavalry who were arranging their formation, and scolded sternly: "Nonsense, I am a person who escaped before the battle? You escort the prisoners and wounded into the pass, I will stay behind!"
"Chang Shi, you go first, I'll stop you..." Su Lie rushed over.
Everyone was shouting about cutting off the rear, and Xiao Rui became furious, "Everyone listen to my orders. Yumenguan soldiers and horses escort the prisoners and the wounded. I will lead the cavalry to cut off the rear. If anyone doesn't obey, military law..."
Before he could finish his words, guard Huo Anshun shouted: "Protect the consort!"
Holding a long sword, he rushed forward and the other veterans of Yumenguan followed. A fight broke out again, and Xiao Rui and others were stunned.
There was no time to be sad, Su Lie said urgently: "Chang Shi, the Turks' target is us. As long as it is safe for us to enter the pass, they will no longer bother us. We should listen to General Huo and don't let the sacrifice of the Yumen Pass soldiers be in vain."
The two hammers in his hands had been replaced by two swords at some point. With tears in his eyes, Xiao Rui got on his horse and ordered sadly: "Let's go!"
With thousands of infantry blocking them, Xiao Rui led more than a thousand cavalry remnants to escort the Turkic prisoners, let go of the attack, and quickly rushed into Yumen Pass.
Zhao Deyan watched Xiao Rui enter the gate, clenched his fists, and said bitterly: "I didn't expect that I underestimated a bunch of trash in Yumen Pass. They are actually a group of loyal people. If I fail in my achievements, are you seeking death? Okay, let's help them."
"Close the door, close the door, close the door quickly..." The administrative officer of Yumen Pass quickly ordered his subordinates to close the door.
Xiao Rui shouted angrily: "Don't close the door, Su Lie stays to defend the city. I will rescue General Huo."
Long history...
Consort...
No……
Who can persuade me? Xiao Rui rode Juechen and rushed out.
Su Lie secretly complained and could only give a death order, leaving 200 people to guard the prisoners and Qin Huaidao and others. He followed Xiao Rui with a thousand cavalry who were still capable of fighting.
Why should Qin Huaidao and others be detained? Of course we have to keep an eye on them, otherwise what if we manage to get them out of danger and something happens if they get in again?
In the distance, Xiao Rui's roar spread throughout the countryside, "Zhao Deyan, if you dare to slaughter my Yumenguan veterans, I will kill you today!"
Several miles away, Xiao Rui's voice seemed to be in his ears. Zhao Deyan was almost knocked off his horse with a sudden thunder, his face full of horror.
"He's coming, he's coming, hurry up, escort, escort..."
