Seeing Song Xian's army collapsed, Hua Xiong pointed at the defeated army with a long sword and shouted angrily.
"Kill it!"
The morale of the army was already high, and now that they saw Lin Shu's heroic appearance like a god descending from heaven, they naturally rushed to catch up.
Lin Mu did not pursue, but walked towards the place where his battle ax fell.
Hua Xiong quickly came to Lin Mu and found something strange that there was a wound on Lin Mu's chest.
But it wasn't a penetrating wound, it was just a scar.
Song Xian was not pierced just now? Or is it that the emperor just tucked Song Xian's spear under his arm?
Hua Xiong couldn't figure out what was going on. Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.
"Your Majesty Tianwei!"
After Hua Xiong jumped off his horse, he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the enemy army has been routed. Waiting for the soldiers to kill these routed troops, why not camp here..."
Lin Mu lowered his head and picked up the battle ax, shook his head and said.
"No! Let the army go to Tongguan and start knocking on the gate!"
Lin Mu put the battle ax on his back and mounted Hua Xiong's horse.
Hua Xiong saw this and hurried forward to hold the reins. He still remembered the scene where Lin Mu rushed into the battle alone just now. He was almost frightened to death.
Now that Lin Mu has asked the army to knock on the gate again, Hua Xiong is afraid that Lin Mu will do something irrational again.
Lin Mu kicked Hua Xiong away and pulled the reins back from Hua Xiong's hand.
"Go and pass on my military order. The army will gather in front of Tongguan and spend the night in Tongguan tonight!"
As soon as Lin Mu finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Hua Xiong standing there.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Hua Xiong could only watch the forest trees go away, but there was nothing he could do.
Lin Mu mounted his war horse and charged towards Tongguan.
The army no longer had any formation to speak of, it was just running and chasing.
The running party threw the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies on the road, just to reduce some weight and make themselves run faster.
Or let other soldiers behind him stumble on these weapons and armors to buy himself time.
After escaping for about half an hour, these soldiers who had abandoned their helmets and armor suddenly discovered that there was a large army in front.
They were suddenly shocked and broke into cold sweat. They thought that the imperial army had already circled in front of them.
After taking a closer look, I realized something was wrong. This army was actually wearing armor from the Xiliang and Bingzhou armies.
It was immediately clear that this army was the one that crossed the Yellow River from Hu County to Hedong County to loot.
After Song Xian issued the military order, he rushed towards Lingbao County.
Originally, in Song Xian's vision, the two armies were fighting, and the imperial army was newly built and weak in combat power. If he directly defeated the imperial army, then this support army would not be needed.
Even if he is at a disadvantage, he can at least support the arrival of reinforcements for a few hours.
Who would have thought that in less than an hour, Lin Mu would take the lead and be overwhelmed, and even Song Xian himself would be killed by Lin Mu.
The leading colonel of this supporting army did not see clearly what was going on, and was rushed into chaos by the defeated army.
Just then, I suddenly heard a shout from somewhere.
"The emperor is coming to kill! The emperor is coming to kill!"
The leading captain had no idea what was going on, so he pulled out his sword and slashed several people in succession, but he was unable to stop the decline of the defeated army.
The captain had no choice but to restrain his soldiers and stand aside. He stepped forward to a group of broken soldiers and put his knife on the neck of one of the soldiers.
"What's going on? Where is General Song?"
Seeing this, the soldiers could only stop running away and said to the captain.
"The emperor rushed into battle and fought with General Song. General Song was beheaded and the army collapsed."
As the soldier spoke, he kept looking behind him, as if he was afraid of something.
But the scene was so chaotic that it was impossible to see clearly. The defeated troops just ran towards Tongguan.
"What?!"
The captain looked at the soldiers in front of him in disbelief, and then he understood what happened.
Song Xian was unexpectedly killed by the emperor. How is this possible?
The next moment, a man and a horse suddenly appeared not far away and rushed towards the captain.
When the soldier caught by the captain saw this man and horse, he did not dare to run away, and immediately knelt on the ground.
Not only this soldier, but all the rebels who passed by this man and horse knelt on the ground after seeing this man and horse, and did not dare to make the slightest move.
The man and the horse were like strong winds, blowing the messy wheat field down.
But in this place where no man or horse passed, the soldiers ran for their lives.
The captain looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what was going on. Before he had time to react, this man had already rushed over.
The next moment, the captain's head flew high and then fell to the ground.
In the eyes of the captain, a large army appeared from where the forest came from and began to drive away the soldiers kneeling on the ground.
The soldiers kneeling on the ground were herded like sheep.
The army that originally belonged to the captain began to break up after finally standing firm, and fled towards Tongguan together with the rebel army from Lingbao County.
Hu County is at most half an hour away from Tongguan, and it can be reached quickly even without riding a horse.
Therefore, these rebels wanted to run faster and hide in Tongguan.
In Tongguan.
"What? Song Xian went to Hongnong County with his army?"
Cao Xing looked at the soldiers in front of him and became furious.
He and Hao Meng and Wei Xu came to help Tongguan, but they did not expect that Song Xian led his army to plunder Hongnong.
Upon seeing this, Hao Meng and Wei Xu stepped forward and helped Cao Xing aside and sat down.
According to Lu Bu's military order, the three of them came to help Tongguan, that is, Song Xian was to be the leader.
Now that Song Xian is away, the three of them must discuss a leader.
In the army, it is taboo to give multiple orders. If two people have the same power, the soldiers will not know who to listen to.
If several people have the same order, that's fine. But if the orders are different, who should the soldiers listen to?
"Report!"
While the three were discussing, a soldier ran in.
"what happened?"
"Report to the general, General Song was killed by the emperor's formation. Now the army has been defeated, and the imperial army is coming towards Tongguan!"
"how so!"
The three of them stared blankly at the soldiers in tattered armor in front of them, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly had an idea as he looked at the two people in front of him.
Song Xian did not respect General Lu Bu's orders and sent troops to plunder without permission. This was a serious mistake.
It would have been fine if they had defeated the imperial army, but now they were beheaded by the Emperor's formation, causing the army to collapse.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he should be beheaded for this crime, so it would be better if he died now.
But now the imperial army is rushing towards Tongguan. If he takes the lead to defend Tongguan, his contribution will not be small.
