Chapter 399: One Goes Down, the Other Rises


Surrounding the Aries King is his most elite royal court elite horseman, whether it is equipment or personal qualities, it is not comparable to ordinary Hun knights.Hearing Gongsun Rongnu's arrogant roar, they reacted immediately and raised their shields to protect the Aries King.The sound of "tuk tuk tuk" bursting beans sounded, and powerful crossbow arrows shot at the shield, only a few of them passed through the gap, and shot the knight behind the shield, provoking a muffled snort.A knight fell off his horse and disappeared into the rolling iron stream.Although the Aries King was not injured, he was really taken aback.The two sides are more than 100 steps apart, and the arrows shot by the Han army are still so strong, this is not an ordinary bow, but the most powerful weapon of the Han people, the crossbow of the Han and the Huns have been fighting for many years, and the Huns have been firmly dominant, but the crossbow of the Han people is the weapon that gives them the most headache, and this weapon with long range and high accuracy is undoubtedly the nemesis of the Huns.Especially for a high-ranking general, it is definitely not a pleasure to be targeted by a crossbowman.However, because of the weight of the shot, the Han knights were rarely equipped with crossbows, preferring to use faster bows like the Huns.This is definitely the first time in the memory of the Aries King that crossbows have been equipped in batches like this.The Aries King felt a cool air rise up from his back spine and rush straight to the back of his head.He didn't dare to slack off, and subconsciously took off the riding shield that he rarely used, protecting his face, and at the same time shouted: "Be careful of the crossbow arrows of the Han dog" As soon as he heard the word "crossbow arrows", almost all the Hun knights were taken aback and raised their shields in unison.Looking at the shield like fish scales from a distance, Gongsun Rongnu smacked his lips regretfully.Even without Liang Xiao's previous warning, he was self-aware, knowing that the Aries King's personal guard camp was not easy to mess with, and there was only one way to die.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Huns to guard against crossbow arrows, he added again, and the Aries King was dozens of steps away, passing by.Before the Aries King could catch his breath, Liang Xiao killed, and each side shot a rain of arrows.In a matter of moments, dozens of people were shot at each of them.In the face of Liang Xiao and the others' superb archery skills, even the most elite guard battalion of the Aries King did not take any advantage.The Aries King was targeted by Liang Xiao and pierced the shield with an arrow.Shot through his arm and screamed in pain.Liang Xiao was also hit by two arrows, one in the ribs and the other in the shoulder socket, and blood gushed out.The swastika has iron armor though.Liang Xiao still felt the pain.The two sides staggered.Although they failed to kill the Aries King in battle, the Han army was able to kill the Aries King like a bamboo, which had a great psychological impact on the Huns and greatly affected their morale.Liang Xiao and others took this opportunity to kill the Huns' formation in one go.Seeing nothing, Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off the horse.Tu Niu'er hurriedly supported him and shouted, "Ah Xiao."

Ah Xiao: "I'm fine. ”Liang Xiaoqiang calmed himself, checked the injury, and confirmed that his life was fine."

Quick, get out of the battlefield and regroup.""

Whoa."

The flag bearer shook the flag, and the drummer beat the war drum and passed Liang Xiao's order.The officers and soldiers of the Han army who had disengaged with the Huns gathered around Liang Xiao again, and rushed into battle twice in succession, and most of them were injured to varying degrees.At least four or five hundred men were killed in the battle, and nearly half of the horses were missing, but the morale was still strong, and the soldiers laughed loudly.Deliberately acting nonchalant, it seems that he can go into battle again at any time.But Liang Xiao knew that they had been fighting against the Huns twice in a row.The physical strength has been exhausted, and if you do it again, the casualties will increase dramatically, and you may even be wiped out.These are all carefully selected elites, and if they are all folded here, the Han army will be greatly damaged.He ordered to leave the battlefield, stay on alert, hurry up time to eat and drink, and regain strength.At the same time, the injury is reviewed and emergency treatment is carried out.Liang Xiao temporarily left the battlefield, but the battlefield did not fall silent, and the battle became more intense.The Aries King and Li Xi collided head-on and killed together.Although Li Xi came from a long-distance attack, his physical strength was insufficient, but when he first came to the battle array, he bit the Aries King himself and made him ecstatic, and the hope of the marquis was in front of him.The Aries King had just been penetrated by Liang Xiao, and was shot by Liang Xiao and injured his arm, bleeding so much that he couldn't even lift his shield, he met Li Xi, who was bursting in the small universe, and immediately cried bitterly, very passive, and didn't even wave seventy percent of his strength, but was seized by Li Xi.The two sides mixed together, rushing back and forth.Just when the Aries King barely blocked Li Xi's charge and was about to use the advantage of numbers to counterattack, Li Guang led the four thousand elite cavalry of the Chinese army to the battlefield.After observing the situation on the battlefield slightly, Li Guang immediately threw himself into battle and led his troops to storm the left flank of the Aries King.The left flank of the Aries King was only 3,000 horsemen, and his strength was average, and he suffered a loss as soon as he fought with Li Guang, and he was defeated and retreated, with heavy casualties.Li Guang rushed into the Chinese army of the Aries King and rushed to the right flank of the Aries King again, relieving Li Xi's worries.Seeing Li Guang's battle flag, the Aries King was even more discouraged.Among the generals of the Han army stationed on the border, Li Guangwei is the most famous, and when he appeared here, the Han army could never have only a few thousand horsemen.Judging by the strength of the troops he had already seen, the Han army had at least 10,000 horsemen.In terms of troops, he no longer has any obvious advantages, and if he continues to fight, he will definitely lose both, and it will be a fiasco if he doesn't get it right.It is never a wise idea to pay such a heavy price to save the king of Lou Fu.The Aries King was cowardly and unwilling to fight again, sounded his horn and prepared to withdraw from the battlefield.The Huns began to adjust their formations and prepare to retreat.Li Guang and Li Xi refused to give up, they came from thousands of miles away, and hid in Tu Shenze for so long, in order to hit the Aries King hard.Now that it is easy to catch the main force of the Aries King, how can he let him retreat with his whole body.The drums of war resounded over the battlefield, and Li Guang ordered all the soldiers to attack with all their might.Encouraged by the sound of war drums, the morale of the soldiers of the Han army was once again high, and they tirelessly rushed to kill repeatedly, entangled the Huns to the death.The king of Aries can't retreat, and he can't complain.At the same time, Cheng Buzhi also took the initiative to attack.The Aries King left 10,000 horsemen to monitor Cheng Buzhi, but in fact, it was just an imaginary number, the actual number of men and horses was less than 7,000, and it was the troops that had been attacking Cheng Buzhi's large array before, and both their body and morale were insufficient.The Huns were accustomed to the Han army holding the position, so the king of Aries was so relieved that these tired troops with insufficient physical strength did not know Cheng.It's a pity that he completely miscalculated.Cheng doesn't know how to defend well, it doesn't mean that he won't attack.In order to contain the Huns as much as possible and share some pressure for Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi didn't even have time to wait for the 10,000 foot soldiers on the other side of the river to arrive before he brazenly attacked.The Huns who stayed behind were taken by surprise.They did not dare to defend Cheng Buzhi head-on, so they could only take advantage of the cavalry to constantly harass the Han army and slow down their advance.Cheng was unmoved, and led the army straight to the main battlefield.Seeing this scene, the Huns did not dare to be careless.If the Han army's infantry and cavalry converge and increase their power greatly, the Aries King will definitely kill him.In desperation, he forcibly attacked regardless of the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides in the battle.The Huns' attack was in the middle of the attack.He ordered the Han army to first cover the shooting with dense bows and crossbows, and then use swords, shields, and spearmen to force a breakthrough and push forward.It's slow, but it's unstoppable.Batches of Huns fell under the arrow array of the Han army, and groups of Huns were killed in front of the Han army.The Han army roared like thunder and momentum like a rainbow, stepping on the corpses of the Huns, stepping on the blood of the Huns, attacking and advancing.From the Japanese-Chinese War to the twilight, Cheng Buzhi led his army to break through the three lines of defense of the Huns, killed four or five thousand people, and advanced for more than ten miles, still not seeing the main battlefield.He sent several scouts one after another, but never got any definite news.The scout said that tens of thousands of cavalry on both sides were mixed together, and it was not clear at all.Cheng Buzhi was so anxious that he turned back and forth a few times, and waved his big hand vigorously."

Take a break and prepare for the night battle."

Changshi Chen Anping was about to say something, when the ground under his feet suddenly trembled.Chen Anping's face changed, and he grabbed an empty quiver with his hand, the mouth of the quiver was facing down, and his ears were attached to the bottom of the quiver, listening attentively."

What's wrong" Cheng Buzhi subconsciously clenched his hands, his heart beating like a drum."

A large number of cavalry is coming."

Chen Anping looked flustered, his face was pale, and his lips were dry."

A lot of cavalry."

The corners of Cheng Buzhi's mouth twitched, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.A large number of cavalry came, so naturally the Huns won, Li Guang only had 15,000 horsemen, and he was running thousands of miles, but the Aries King had 20,000 horsemen, and he was waiting for work, and there was no suspense about the victory."

Li Guang," Cheng Buzhi looked up to the sky again and sighed.Although he and Li Guang have different personalities, they are sympathetic to each other, and seeing Li Guang's fiasco, he can't help, which is really desperate.He regretted it."

If Wei Qing and the others are here, maybe there will be a chance.""

General, it's not your fault.If Wei Qing and the others were not allowed to support Han Gong, how could Han Gong be in a stalemate with King Lou Fu to this point" "Alas, say a thousand, say ten thousand, or" Cheng Buzhi shook his head."

Or we have too few cavalry."

Chen Anping also sighed, and was just about to remind Cheng Buzhi and let him order to prepare to retreat, when the passionate war drums sounded in the distance.Chen Anping was stunned for a moment, and exchanged a look with Cheng Buzhi, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.The sound of war drums did not come from the Huns, it was the Han army, at this time, a fast horse galloped from a distance, and the knight turned over and dismounted in front of the formation, and rushed over with a rolling belt."

General, great victory, great victory, General Li Guang has defeated the Aries King and is coming.""

What" Cheng didn't know how to scream, grabbed the scout by the collar, and lifted him up."

What do you say" The scout was mentally prepared and laughed: "General, we won, we won."

General Li Guang crushed the main force of the Aries King, and we won. ”"Hahahaha" Cheng Buyi's eyes widened and he glanced back at Chen Anping.Chen Anping's eyes were also wide open, and his face was ecstatic.The two laughed out loud in unison.Cheng Buzhi let go of the scout, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and let out a long roar."

Beat the drums, the whole army attacked, entangled the Huns, and killed them all:
