Liu Xuan stood aside, unable to look directly at the cruel scene in front of him. There were waving swords and rain of locust-like arrows everywhere. The sound of swords and leather armors clashing was heard one after another, but the sound that resounded in his ears was even more... Most of them were roars, screams and the neighing of horses, which made his blood boil and made his muscles stiff.
Liu Xuan held the reins tightly, his fingertips piercing his palms, and a tingling sensation kept him awake. But the wolf flag that he had been watching for a long time in the distance was still weighing on his heart like a mountain. At this time, he saw the blood-footed white wolf flag move, and the white wolf galloped on the windless grassland, carrying thousands of troops and horses. Flooding, he couldn't help but said anxiously to Da Qiequ: "The army of thieves has moved!"
Daqiequ pressed his hands in the air to signal him to be silent, and smiled at him with the kindness of an elder: "I used the Chinese army as bait, and I was afraid that he wouldn't understand my arrangement. If he didn't move, It’s hard to say whether we will win or lose this battle!”
At this point, Liu Xuan saw a sense of pride in his eyes, but it passed away in a moment. Dajiequ admonished Liu Xuan again: "Zuo Ri Zhu Wang, you are the six-cornered king guarding the royal court, and you are the king of the king." A nobleman of the Luan Ti clan, you have even studied Chinese studies, so you are different from an outsider like me. From now on, you will be the foothills that shield the royal court from the wind, so don’t let your subordinates see your timidity."
Liu Xuan blushed with embarrassment. He turned back and continued to look at the front of the formation. The wolf flag continued to fly towards him, and he could vaguely see the curled corners of the wolf flag. He took a deep breath and clamped his legs tightly against the horse's belly to stop the trembling all over his body. For some reason, he thought of his father's eyes, and a breeze suddenly came from behind his head, which gradually shocked him.
Dajiequ was very pleased to see Liu Xuan's calmness. He drove his horse alongside him, looked at the enemy formation, and explained to him: "The commander is the backbone of the army. If the commander does not fall, the entire army will be undefeated. Sun Tzu, the sage of war, said: 'The victorious army is as calm as the majestic mountains.' This is especially true for the commander. The traitor army just saw some chance of victory and put all their efforts into it. The slave traitor's heart has been confused. Our army has won this battle!"
Really? Liu Xuan couldn't believe it. He could see the torrent flying like an arrow, and with indescribable power, it was facing the Chinese army fighting on the flanks. His banners and banners stood in the center of the Chinese army. Before he could react, he was instantly submerged by the torrent. Liu Xuan saw his banners torn down and fell, as if the foundation was burned by a raging fire.
The soldiers on both wings had been fighting hard for a long time, especially the soldiers on the left wing. One against two, they held out for nearly two hours. Now a large number of cavalry broke through the central army and then poured into the flank of the left wing. Nearly a hundred soldiers took the lead. The sword passed by, and the horse's hoof stepped on it. In just a moment, it turned into a puddle of flesh, and the long battle line was cut into two parts with just one blow.
For a moment, all the rebels were cheering. They shouted "Danghu King" and "Danghu King" loudly. The White Wolf Woye Flag was also waving up and down, just like their joyful mood. There were even many sergeants there. Liu Xuan's soldiers were persuaded to surrender. In their eyes, this blow directly killed the enemy commander, which was already a complete victory.
At this time, the rebels' momentum reaches its highest peak, but the moment when morale is at its strongest is often also the moment at which it is at its weakest.
This was the moment Da Qiequ was waiting for. He ordered without changing his expression: "Hang up the flags of me and King Zuo Ri Zhu, so that the whole army can see it!" The followers beside him immediately raised two flags behind him. , a Liuyunyue Xiaoxiao flag symbolizing wisdom, and a bowstring-binding sun flag symbolizing bravery.
Trumpets sounded beneath the flags. Different from the slightly muffled trumpet sound of the rebels, it was loud and clear, just like the dawn mist encountering the sun, everything on the earth was invisible. It completely covered up the cheers of the rebels. Behind the sound of horns, a thousand fine cavalry had been waiting for a long time, and the horses snorted impatiently.
The Shanyu soldiers in front made way for them, revealing more than a thousand fine cavalry in front of the rebels. The bright iron pieces on the crimson armor swayed into a silver lake, and they were facing the flank of the wolf flag.
Da Qiequ chose this place for the battle to hide the final arrangement, just to wait for the moment when He Nadanghu personally charged into the battle, just for this moment when he was trapped between the two wings!
The person responsible for charging into the formation was none other than Queen Helianchi, the Marquis of Heliangudu. These more than a thousand fine knights were all the famous Tiefu knights. After the sound of the trumpet, Empress Helianchi roared loudly and led the last force directly into the chaotic sea of people.
It can be said that the rebel cavalry is like a torrent, smashing Liu Xuan's formation to pieces wherever it passes, but the Tiefu cavalry behind Helianchi is like a slender and sharp arrow. Arrow, after Da Qiequ, an experienced hunter, drained all the energy of the rebels, he hit the prey's neck.
He Nai's position in the household is very conspicuous. He is under the banner of the White Wolf, riding a distinctive purple horse, wearing rare iron armor, and holding a five-foot-long knife in his hand. One man's army was surrounded by doubts. Hearing the sound of the trumpet and the sound of the Tiefu cavalry's hooves, his eyes suddenly felt relieved, but at the same time revealed a terrible brilliance.
Although Empress Helianchi was defeated repeatedly in front of Chen Chong, this was because her heart was sinking and her courage was exhausted. But in Bingzhou, he was indeed the first-class fierce general. He was clearly outnumbered, but he seemed to have endless pride. Amidst the chaos of thousands of troops and horses and the shadows of swords and swords, he was on the horse, but he was like an ancient mulberry root. Standing still.
His target was the thief leader He Nadang Hu, but he made a small circle and turned nearly a hundred steps behind He Nadang Hu. He threw all the halberds he carried forward, and the cavalry behind him also followed suit. Although all the rebels here were wearing armor, they couldn't hold up the halberds. When the halberds were thrown, the momentum was huge, and they directly hit the armor and made a large dent. , everyone who was hit fell to the ground.
Even if some enemies missed the flying halberd, Queen Helianchi let out another loud shout, trampling half of them with the hoofs of horses, and chopped down half of them with the halberd in her hand. No one could hold on for a few breaths in front of him.
Since the rebel uprising, they have never seen such a powerful cavalry. At this time, they were dumbfounded, just like grass and trees, letting the Tiefu people harvest them on horseback. When they came to their senses, the heads were scattered all over the ground, just like the white oranges under the fruit trees in autumn. The Tiefu people have already connected the previously separated left-wing soldiers and separated He Nadang household from the army. Between the two there were only those who had expired and those who had not yet expired, bleeding and crawling on the ground with their hands.
Someone in the crowd immediately boosted morale and shouted: "They are only a thousand people, what are you afraid of! Charge up! Your Majesty, help us become human beings again. Do we have to become pigs and dogs for these bandits?!"
Immediately, someone refuted in a low voice: "How much better are we than pigs and dogs after being in charge of the household for a month? How many people died just because we wanted to use some water! I can still drink enough water in the market! "
But more people are saying: "We have fought for long enough! I am tired! I am too tired to lift the knife, too tired to walk, and even taking a breath feels exhausted. There is no way I can fight with Tiefu like this." People are fighting. I really don’t want to fight anymore, let’s all leave!”
The Tiefu people were able to easily maintain the siege of He Nai Danghu. There were only a few hundred people in the siege. He Nai Danghu was still leading his team to kill the enemy, but after fighting for a while, he saw that the noise behind him gradually became quieter. His strength His strength gradually weakened, and when he looked back at the iron-walled Tiefu man, he finally understood that his defeat was certain.
Seeing him stop, the flags of Daqiequ and Zuo Ri Zhu Wang also slowly approached. A group of knights formed a circle around him. When the two flags stopped behind the scenes, he heard a clear voice asking him: "A thief slave, can you still kill your master now?"
This sentence was like throwing He Nadang into a basin of ice water, making him suddenly wake up from a dream. He pursed his lips and did not reply. He looked around and found that his son did not follow him into the battle. A huge stone was lifted from his heart, so He turned around and asked the surrounded followers: "They say you are thieves and slaves, are you?"
The followers' eyes widened, almost bursting, and they replied in unison: "We are all the king's soldiers, we will never be timid! How can we be the dogs' lackeys!"
He Nai shook his head in front of the house and said to them: "It's okay if you don't want to be a lackey. There is no need to say more. Today's battle will lead to death or death. The fault is all mine. But I still have to fight to the death! How can a man kneel down? Servant, you can die a hero!"
Having said this, He Nadang looked excited. He took off his iron armor, revealing his upright face, with a pair of clear and murderous eyes. He ordered his followers to line up, raised their knives high, and charged towards the iron wall in front of them again. .
The siege of Dajiequ is already impregnable, but it is still shaken by it. Liu Xuan discerned the figure of the bandit leader in the light of the sword, and saw that the soldiers in front of him were knocked to the ground for him. Fortunately, more people poured in immediately, and soon Ziliu Ma was wounded several times. , fell to the ground.
He Nadang rolled to the ground and quickly stood up again. A soldier took the opportunity to stab him in the palm of his hand with a spear, but he barely avoided it and stabbed him in the ankle instead. He Nadanghu grabbed the spear, pulled it out from his ankle and punched it on the ground to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
More people wanted to take the opportunity to chop off his head, so he waved the knife with one hand and forced them back again and again. Finally, in a collision between the blades, sparks flew everywhere and the snatched knife broke into pieces. Two pieces, and he was stabbed through Jiazha with a knife, and the blade went straight into his lower abdomen.
Seeing the joyful expression on the face of the man in front of him, He Nai grabbed the handle of the knife from his hand and pulled out the knife from the armor. He also felt that part of his soul had been taken away, but he seemed to have lost all pain and could only lean on it. The spear limped forward and he continued to move forward. He looked up at the sky and killed several more Tiefu knights. When he looked back, he realized that except for the corpses, there was no longer a living person behind him.
He was obsessed for a moment, and no one around him dared to move forward. After waiting for a while, Liu Xuan realized that the slave leader who had caused a bloody storm in the Xiongnu territory in January had lost his temper. He was leaning on the spear and was about to fall down, looking at the green pasture at his feet with empty eyes. In the distance are the fragments of the broken knife.
Daqiequ breathed a long sigh of relief. He ordered the people around him to cut off the head of He Nadanghu. He said to his entourage: "Send it to Shanyu quickly." Then he said to Liu Xuan: "The war is not over yet, it doesn't stop here. , the Shuofang Ping thieves still need to send more troops!"
