"Stop! Tell me, what's the situation now?" Sa Lihe was surrounded by guards and ran for several miles. Although he couldn't see it, his ears were filled with the sound of mountains and tsunamis, the sound of chaos and despair.

Hearing the collapse, he, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, could not help but feel chills all over his body, and his heart felt like an arrow. Holding the last glimmer of hope, he reined in his horse, forcibly stopped running, and asked the guards around him.

Sa Lihe felt that when he said this, his tone and expression were quite calm. But in the eyes of the guard, this majestic general with bright armor on weekdays, now his face was full of smoke and dust, and his face was covered with dust.

The flying sand and stones cut and bled;

The golden eight-sided helmet had already fallen into nowhere, and the gilded swallowing beast on the left shoulder plate had also been rubbed off. The braid was disheveled, the facial muscles were twitching, and the two claw-shaped palms were trembling uncontrollably... That image,

He looked like a defeated general.

"The central army was attacked, the battle was destroyed, and the camp was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood... The commander-in-chief and Shiye Malangjun looked like this again... The whole army... was in chaos, and there was no way to deal with it anymore...

"The dozen or so guards who survived the explosion, their armors shattered and their faces stained with blood, howled and knelt on the ground. On the outer circle were a group of elite Chinese army guards with frightened expressions.

"What about Shi Yema Langjun?" Since the war situation was irreversible, Sa Lihe immediately focused his attention on Shi Yema. After this defeat, he was dismissed from his post after returning and was demoted. It was a foregone conclusion.

Still have to be accused. Fortunately,

Youshi Yema and his family are on top of each other. At present, the most powerful person in the court is none other than the Prime Minister Zong Han. With the eldest son of the Prime Minister beside him to share the blame, the higher-ups will have some scruples in dealing with it. Maybe the situation will be different.

As for how bad it is.

"I'm asking, everything is fine in our family." Unexpectedly, the person who answered was Sheyema himself. At this time, Sheyema was under the protection of his personal guards and was carefully guarded by doctors.

He tied the broken shoulder and temporarily covered his eyes with a white cloth.

"Shi Yema, how are you... how are you?" Sa Li stretched out his hand tremblingly on the horse's back. At this time, his eyes could gradually see some blurry shadows, and the damage to the optic nerve caused by the stun grenade was beginning to appear.

Recovery slowly.

Sa Lihe's eyes were recovering. But Shi Yema, who was the most seriously injured, was like a blind old man, unable to find his direction at all. It was the personal guards who led the two of them to approach slowly, and then, the arms of the two brothers in arms tightened.

Holding each other tightly, we were sighing at each other. The poignancy of the scene made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears.

At this moment, a familiar, heart-stopping bang of gunfire rang out. There was a huge chaos in the rear. Then I heard a guard coming to report: "Two gentlemen, hurry up, the damn Tianzhu Army, kill them from Naihe Pass."

Will come out..."

Shi Yema's eyes will not recover for a while, but the shock to his head is getting better, and he has regained some sanity. Faced with such a defeat, and even a possible crisis, he and Sa Lihe jointly issued a plan

As the commander-in-chief of the Jinzhong Route Army, his last order is: don’t worry about the baggage, the signed troops, and the soldiers and horses; discard all materials that will affect the army’s retreat, and retreat with all your strength to Jingxing Pass and back to Zhending City.

The two Jin Army generals are very clear-minded and must give up what should be given up. As long as they keep their troops, everything lost today will one day be recovered.

Although this order was somewhat of an afterthought to the collapsed Jin Bing camp, the order to abandon everything and retreat at full speed still saved the lives of many Jin soldiers who were rescuing supplies.

The order was issued, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Jinzhong Route Army were defeated like a mountain. People and horses were crowded together. They trampled on each other, and their flesh and blood turned into mud. Snow fell from the sky. Blood splattered on the ground, snow was white and blood was red...

When they were about to run away, the Jin soldiers discovered that they had made a big mistake - in order to achieve the purpose of besieging Tianshu City, thousands of Jin soldiers dug ditches and trenches for several miles from Naiheguan to Jingxing Road. Trees and rocks were built, and many obstacles were set up... I never expected that after all the hard work, I had worked out so many tricks, but none of them could be used on the enemy, and I suffered all the consequences.

These deep chasms that resist horses only slow down the fleeing infantry; but for the cavalry, they are insurmountable chasm obstacles that are difficult to overcome in a hurry and unpreparedness. In the chaos, many female armored cavalrymen , Alixi and the auxiliary soldiers of the signing army were crowded into the trench after being scrambled for their lives. The nearly 1,000-kilogram war horse was pressing on him, and the trench was deep and narrow, making it difficult to turn over. While he was struggling desperately, his eyes dimmed, and there was another The unlucky guy suppressed the man and his horse...

If the trenches can still be filled with the corpses of men and horses squeezed into them, all the cavalry are helpless in the face of those blockers lying in the middle of the road and the huge logs that have just been cut down from the deep mountains of Taihang. These horses on horseback The eagles, driven away by the wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers of the Tenchu ​​Army behind them, all abandoned their horses in grief, marched bow-legged, and scrambled with the infantry to climb trees and stumps, desperately trying to escape from this death zone.

However, the cruel facts show that this death zone is really not an ordinary place...

When thousands of Jin troops broke out of the graves they dug and rushed to the valley where they were ambushed the day before, what awaited them was the expected hail of bullets...

Zhang Li's 4th Infantry Battalion lay across the center of the valley, with three rows of horsemen in front, two hundred swordsmen in the front, two hundred musketeers in the middle, and a hundred grenadiers behind. The posture was the same as the day before. A replica of Di Lie's interception of the Jinzhong Road army. The difference is that the interception direction is different. That day, the interception was from the west, but today it is from the east, which happened to be in the wrong direction.

Since the valley was a hundred paces wide, in order to contain the Jin army's retreat as much as possible, Zhang Li had to pull the formation into several straight lines. The sword soldiers stood in two rows, the musketeers were arranged in two rows, and the grenadiers were also arranged in one row. It doesn't look like a phalanx at all. Such a thin formation, if faced with the Jin Army's cavalry, can be easily penetrated if the opponent is ruthless and charges regardless of casualties.

However, before that, the hard detectives sent by Zhang Li to the front brought good news: the Jin army, which dominated the world with bows and horses, had cut off one of its arms, gave up all its horses, and relied on the two horses given by his parents. The legs ran away.

After receiving this news, Zhang Licai confidently and boldly set up the skirmish line formation, determined to bury all the Jin troops who dared to invade Tianshu City here, and then replicate the victory of Yinmatan.

On the other side, Shi Zhihe's 3rd Infantry Battalion deployed half of its troops under the hillside on the left and right sides, forming a pocket formation with Zhang Li's 4th Battalion. Although the bottom of this pocket was a bit thin, in the face of a defeated army, how could It can still be carried.

Zhang Li thought so, Shi Zhihe thought so too, but Pu Cha and Hu Zhan did not think so.

The two main and deputy generals of the Jinzhong Route Army lost their ability to command at the same time. The only one who can take over the command of the two men is Pucha Hu Zhan. Facing more than a thousand elite enemy troops who are waiting in full formation, this grim-faced General Hu directly attacks him.

The iron armor was peeled off and thrown to the ground with a clanging sound. Snowflakes fell on the hairy naked body of Pucha Huzhan.

Pu Cha Hu Zhan's ghostly face was twisted. In this cold snowstorm, he looked even more ferocious. He held a mace and a big stick, stepped on the stirrups, stood up high, and faced the chaotic retreating troops in all directions.

With his giant palm like a cattail leaf fan, he slapped his chest loudly, foaming at the mouth, and roared like thunder: "There are interceptors in front, and there are pursuers behind. The thief army is punished by heaven. I want to conquer the enemy."

We will kill them all! You are all the bravest warriors in Dajin. You have looted countless trophies. In the North, in the grasslands, and in Shangjing, you have herds of cattle and horses, carpets of gold and silver, and countless more.

Slaves and women... If you die here like a dog today, everything will be given cheaply to others, will you be willing?"

"Not willing! Not willing!" The eyes of all the defeated soldiers were red. Most of these golden soldiers participated in last year's battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, which really made a lot of money from top to bottom. Although this

A big piece of fat. Di Lie, who was shot out of the air, bit off a big piece of meat.

However, the remaining loot was still staggeringly huge. Even an ordinary Alixi received generous rewards. And all of this was only enjoyed for less than a year. He had to die in battle and was cheap.

Who can be willing to lose brothers and relatives in the family?

"If you don't want to be reconciled, just rush out with me! If you retreat, you will die! If you don't stand still, you will die! The only way to survive is - move forward!" Pucha Huzhan roared, pointed his stick and kicked his spurs hard. The horse suffered pain.

With a long hiss, he rushed forward like an arrow.

At the same time, many golden soldiers were inspired by the general to take off their leather armor, hold knives and catch cards, and go into battle lightly. Following the figure of Pucha Hu Zhan, they were like beasts released from a cage with the gate opened, howling and screaming.

Rush forward.

Pucha Hu Zhan and Jin Bing's disarming of armor and marching to the battlefield was not only a desperate act of madness, but also the fact that they both understood that no matter whether it was leather armor or iron armor, they would not be able to block the firing of musket projectiles if they rushed forward.

If you can't stop it, you might as well take it off, so you can move more quickly.

Running faster. After fighting against weapons such as muskets for several times, Jin soldiers also gained experience. This is the same as dealing with archers. The faster you approach the opponent, the smaller the casualties. Comparing the two, the effect of speed is far greater.

It is far greater than defense. Therefore, if you take off your armor and fight, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

When Pucha Hu Zhan led the remaining troops to charge, Sa Lihe and Shiye Ma, escorted by the only dozen or so hard-working horse knights around them, slowly moved forward. After hearing Pucha Hu Zhan

When he was removing his armor from the golden soldiers, Sali's eyes moved like a dead fish, and he suddenly gave an order: "Pile up all the leather armor and burn it!"

Nearly a thousand pairs of leather armors were thrown on the ground, which would naturally give the enemy an advantage. They were all set on fire. They did not want this huge number of armors to fall into the hands of the enemy. This was the idea of ​​the guards. At the moment, a young man was inserted from behind.

The flag bearer took the order and left.

Only Shi Yema, who was gradually waking up, raised his hand to test the direction of the wind, and showed an ugly smile: "Sa Lihe, you are not stunned by the terrible witchcraft of that evil spirit. Burn these leather armors,

In addition to not wanting to capitalize on the enemy, the main reason is to use smoke attacks."

The defeated Jin soldiers withdrew from Naihe Pass to Jingxing Pass and then back to Zhending. This was a direction from west to east. It was cold winter, the wind and snow were blowing, and the valley was not wide, and the wind was blowing fiercely.

Northwest wind. In this way, gold

The army is at the upper hand, while the third and fourth infantry battalions of the Tenchu ​​Army are at the disadvantage. If the leather armor is really burned, the thick smoke and odor produced will indeed be harmful to the soldiers of the Tenchu ​​Army, especially the musketeers.

Caused considerable trouble.

Sa Lihe just smiled bitterly. A great general who commanded thousands of troops would use such a little trick to escape. It was sad for Sa Lihe, who was conceited about his wisdom and courage.

However, at this moment, Salihe seemed to hear something else from Sheyema's words. His expression tightened and he asked: "Sheyema, are you sure... the horror that caused you and me to be in such a miserable state?"

The strong light is the witchcraft of that evil spirit?"

"Yes... In the name of Changshengtian, I can confirm..." Shi Yema's entire facial muscles were convulsing, and his expression was extremely terrifying, as if he was remembering the scene that plunged him and his middle route army into doom, "I raised my head

At that time, I saw a person on the cliff... Although I had never seen this person before, the weird attire and my intuition told me that he was the evil spirit... I saw him wave his hand, and then...

Lihe! Tell me if we will go blind!"

The two Jin army generals were both riding on horses, and they were very close to each other. Even though they couldn't see each other, they could still tell each other's position from the voices of their voices. When Shi Yema said the next thing, his emotions suddenly lost control, almost with a smile.

Crying, he grabbed Sa Lihe's armor with his uninjured hand and sprayed saliva on his face.

Sa Lihe let Shi Yema shake violently, but said with a wry smile: "I don't know! However, I feel much better now, and I can vaguely see the figure... Maybe the evil spirit's witchcraft power is fading, and we may not

blind……"

Shi Yema was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he let go and hurriedly pulled off the white cloth covering his eyes, then kept shaking his head and looking around: "Sa Lihe, I still can't see anything! Everything in front of me is

White...oh, it's snowing...but why is there snow everywhere and no one there?! Where are the people? Where are the guards? Where are all the damn idiots? Here are the people - "

The fear of blindness and the defeat of the army finally crushed Shi Yema's will. His spirit, like a bowstring that was too tight, finally broke at this moment.

If Sa Lihe hadn't had bad eyesight, he would have controlled Shi Yema at this time, but because he couldn't see the expression on Shi Yema's face, he missed the initial control opportunity. When he heard something bad, Shi Yema

The horse went crazy and whipped the guards who were blocking him on the left and right, and the blind man ran around like a blind horse and rushed away.

"Hurry, stop him quickly, we must not let anything happen to Shi Yema Lang-kun..." Sa Lihe didn't finish his sentence. A series of thunderous explosions came from the front, and then, there were shrill screams that filled the valley.
Chapter completed!
