I’m The King Chapter 669: : Blizzard and Snowstorm (21)
After thinking about the joints, Murong Kun was terrified. Now his only thought is to get rid of the current chaotic situation, retreat back and meet Yan Qi first, and then retreat with the whole army. The strength of the army on the east bank is not enough to block the retreat of the whole army. When they withdraw, they must at least retreat to Jingyuan to preserve their strength and hope to fight again.
The opponent's crossbow arrows seem to be endless, but directly opposite, the thick phalanx is approaching step by step, and because the vanguard has lost speed, in order to avoid getting entangled with the enemy's infantry, it is retreating, hoping to widen the distance and launch Charge, but behind is the Chinese army who was torn apart by the enemy's arrow array, and if you retreat, you will step into the mud.
"Blow the horn, the striker launches an attack." Murong Kun's face sank like water.
"The central army gave up the attack on the arrow formations on both sides and gathered towards me. The tail army detoured to both sides and attacked the rear of the enemy's arrow formation."
A series of orders were issued, and with the shrill sound of the trumpet, the retreating forward hesitated for a while, and launched a death impact on the enemy's shield formation more than ten meters away. There was no speed, and at this distance Attacking the heavily defended infantry phalanx, casualties can be imagined.
The war horse collided with the thick shield, making a loud noise, and spears pierced out from the gaps in the shield, and between stretching and contracting, blood sprayed out. The pawns in the first row suffered from the huge impact. Many people died of broken bones and tendons after the first impact, spurting blood from their mouths, but the corpses never fell down. The front was the enemy's The cavalry, followed by infantry piled up layer by layer, with the remains of the war dead wrapped between them, were still advancing involuntarily.
According to Chen Bin's suggestion, the spears in the hands of the infantrymen of Zhengdong Army were lengthened by nearly one meter, and the production was also easier. After it becomes flexible, add an iron gun head to complete the work. The barrel of the gun is specially made to be flexible. It was originally designed to deal with running cavalry. After the spear is pierced, the barrel of the gun will bend in an arc, which can greatly reduce the impact of the horse and reduce the casualties of the soldiers. There was no impact speed, but under the continuous stabbing of such a nearly three-meter-long spear, one by one fell off the horse, and the infantry and cavalry crowded together. But the infantry was advancing, and the cavalry was forced to retreat. Such battles were extremely rare.
But Murong Kun's response at this time is undoubtedly correct. The forward cavalry's death-defying attack bought time for him to concentrate the chaotic central army, and the arrow rain from the two wings had already thinned out, bypassing the rear on both sides. Department of troops, although not yet able to launch an attack. But the obvious deterrent effect has been presented, and the enemy archers on both wings began to retreat.
Murong Kun let out a long breath, the horn of the central army sounded again, and the forward cavalry who were attacking immediately rushed to the two wings. At this time, the deadly arrow rain was gone on the two wings, and they quickly made room for the Chinese army to attack.
The vanguard cavalry detoured back from both sides and gathered behind the Chinese army. At this time, the sound of bugles also sounded in the opponent's infantry phalanx. The advancing phalanx stopped suddenly, and the archers who had withdrawn from the two wings joined the phalanx with their spears straightened out.
The distance between the two armies was hundreds of meters. This distance was originally the best for the cavalry to sprint for a short distance. The number has increased exponentially, what's more, the pawns have already stepped out of the rolling hills and fields, surrounded by wilderness, which is more conducive to the East Hu cavalry's ability to run and shoot.
The Eastern Zheng Army shrunk their lineup. Obviously, they were waiting for Murong Kun to launch a double-division attack.
Murong Kun looked at the piles of corpses between the two armies, and at the snow that was stained red with blood, his eyes were full of anger. Ten thousand cavalry under his command were beaten by thousands of infantry The ambush was launched, and at this time, his own casualties were extremely heavy, plus the wounded, I am afraid that the loss has exceeded 30%, he really had the urge to launch an attack desperately, and kill these soldiers of the East Conquest Army. This idea flashed across, but he immediately rejected it. It was meaningless to win this battle, because he didn't know when He Lanyan would come.
"Withdraw!" He gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
The rear team of the Donghu cavalry turned into the front team, turned around and retreated, and watched the Donghu cavalry leave. The soldiers in the first row began to advance forward, followed by the ones behind. The phalanx followed the enemy's cavalry forward. As soon as the sound is heard, within a few breaths, the general formation can be reorganized.
Until this time, the remains of the war dead fell from the army formation. Behind the army formation, there was a dedicated containment team to collect the remains of these war dead. Right now, we can only do At this point, the official restraint of them will have to wait until the war is completely over.
The war horse galloped in the wind and snow, and Murong Kun was burning with anxiety. Although the heavy snow that kept falling blocked his sight, it not only returned the sentry cavalry, but also let him know that the infantry of the Zhengdong Army was not Instead of giving up, they relentlessly followed them closely. Even though the distance was constantly widening, they did not stop and turn around to retreat.
This further strengthened Murong Kun's thinking that He Lanyan's cavalry must be nearby.
One side's morale is high, but my side's morale has fallen to the lowest point. I went out to rescue the friendly army, but now the friendly army has not been rescued, but I am in a desperate situation.
We must seize all the time to cross the river, as long as we cross the Liaohe River, we will be safe, and the messengers we send will bring the news of our attack to Yan Qi, and he will also send reinforcements.
Driving for more than forty miles in one breath, and less than ten miles away from Liaohe, Murong Kun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but just when he let out this breath, his whole body froze completely up.
In his eyes, a dazzling red appeared.
The red cloak suddenly emerged from the white falling snowflakes, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded at this moment. Assault, he cut his long dragon-like team into two sections.
"Red Clothes Guard!" Murong Kun exclaimed.
With the return of Yu Wenke, the reputation of the red guards spread all over Donghu. It is said that they were a cavalry force that even the palace guards could not compare with. Wei forcefully defeated the three thousand cavalry led by Yuwen Ke's son Yu Wenming and chased them down for hundreds of miles.
I really can't believe how Gao Yuan trained such a team of cavalry. Fortunately, there are too few of them, but Donghu, which is mainly cavalry, can still win by quantity, but definitely not now.
The long dragon-like team appeared to be very thin. The red guards charged and killed one of the opponents, and then circled a small arc, piercing the Donghu cavalry team again.
Murong Kun's heart has completely cooled down, no matter how fierce the red guards are, there are only less than a thousand people, but when the red guards arrive, will He Lanyan be far behind?
As if responding to his thoughts, in the wind and snow, there was a dense sound of horseshoes and the cries of the Eastern Conqueror Wansheng again. This time, what appeared in his eyes was black.
The guard in black.
The black clothes guard smashed all the obstacles in front of him with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. When the impact of the two cavalry forces disrupted the Donghu cavalry who was eager to retreat, two more cavalry came, they were Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei.
"Luo Lei, do you want us to compete again?" Gongsun Yi, who was galloping on a flying horse, drew out the scimitar from his waist and looked at Luo Lei who was also eager to try.
"Why don't you dare? Whoever loses this time will have to climb around Pioneer City after returning!" Luo Lei laughed loudly.
"It's a deal, you're determined."
"I'm presenting this to you. Kill!" Luo Lei clamped his horse's belly and killed it first.
"It's really shameless, you have to go together anyway!" Gongsun Yi said disdainfully: "Even if I let you give way, how can you be my opponent, brothers, follow me!"
He Lanyan's more than 4,000 cavalry encountered a catastrophe when Murong Kun was about to reach Liaohe. With the entry of four thousand fresh troops, the number of cavalry on both sides reached more than 10,000. The two sides strangled each other within a range of tens of miles. It is because of high fighting spirit, thinking about killing the enemy and winning.
Murong Kun had completely lost all hope at this time. Under the protection of dozens of personal soldiers, he finally rushed out of the battlefield and ran towards the Liaohe River.
Then, he saw He Lanyan.
He Lanyan, who was standing there quietly, seemed to be waiting for him all the time, and around He Lanyan, a dozen red-clothed cavalrymen were holding huge Mo Dao, looking at them with ill intentions.
"Murong Kun, are you going to dismount and surrender, or wait for me to pick off your head?" He Lanyan giggled, "Your subordinates can't get away, how can you escape alone?"
The one who answered He Lanyan was Murong Kun's roar and charging figure~IndoMTL.com~Murong Kun is mine, the rest is up to you to kill. "He Lanyan let out a coquettish cry, and stepped forward to meet her.
Beside him, Guo Laolan was laughing, holding the Mo Dao with one hand, and stepped forward. When passing by Murong Kun, his free hand suddenly raised up, swishing, riding a crossbow and shooting .
Amidst He Lanyan's angry scolding and Murong Kun's miserable cry, Guo Laolan threw away his crossbow, raised his Modao, and rushed forward.
He Lanyan looked at Murong Kun who was lying on his back in front of his horse, and then at Guo Laolan who had already entered the Donghu soldiers, and was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Guo Laolan, a listless person, truly deserves his reputation. Poor Murong Kun was also distracted by He Lanyan's shout. It's really hard to die.
Guo Laoji was sent by Gao Yuan to He Lanyan's side, the most important thing was to protect He Lanyan's safety, how could he let He Lanyan face off with the enemy's general, if He Lanyan lost a hair, he was afraid that he would lose A few catties of meat, such a loss-making business is absolutely unacceptable.
