SFS Chapter 126: Crushing! A crushing defeat!
Chapter 126: Crushing! A crushing defeat!
"How come your horse is so fast?!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wanyan Zhen was about to draw his sword and chop at Ying Xuanze.
However, Ying Xuanze was one step ahead of him. He swept the iron sword forward! The sharp blade instantly chopped off Wan Yanzhen's head.
Ying Xuanze grabbed the head and kicked the body off his horse. Before he was about to lose his balance and fall, he threw himself on Wanyan Zhen's warhorse.
The warhorse neighed twice, but was only restless for a short while before being tamed by Ying Xuanze.
Ying Xuanze pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and Fenglei Jueyingju also turned around very smartly.
On the way back, Ying Xuanze leaned over and grabbed the formation-breaking spear stuck in the ground. He held up Wanyan Zhen's head and showed the results of the battle to his army.
The Huben Army and Yue Family Army applauded when they saw this scene, while the morale of the retreating Hu soldiers fell to the bottom when they saw Wanyan Zhen being killed.
At the same time, the moment Ying Xuanze chopped off the enemy general's head, the Tiefutu also changed direction in unison.
In the last time of the [Unparalleled] enhancement blessing, they burst out with speed and rushed into the heavy armored cavalry of the Hu people again. Using the advantage of distance, they used axes to chop the heavy armored cavalry and made them run away.
After completing the sprint, Tiefutu hung the bloody axe back on his back, and then the centurion led his men to retreat to the rear for rest.
Ying Xuanze rode back to the army. Guan Yu and Yue Fei came forward and bowed, saying, "My lord is mighty!"
Ying Xuanze casually handed Wanyan Zhen's head to a subordinate. He did not bother to respond to Guan Yu and Yue Fei, but looked anxiously towards the position where Huo Qubing was.
The key to the battlefield at this time was the collision between the two cavalry units. Although the Zhao cavalry was powerful, it still suffered from a numerical disadvantage.
But Huo Qubing and the Zhao cavalrymen really fought hard. After receiving the [Unparalleled] enhancement, they were bloodthirsty. The Hu cavalrymen could not stand this kind of fighting style after just a few charges.
They were no match for these Han cavalrymen. Some of their companions were stabbed off their horses by iron halberds just as they were about to swing their swords.
The Iron Cavalry can't take advantage of the distance at all. To put it bluntly, these Han people are not only fast, but also have long arms! How can we play this game?
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were defeated by more than 30,000 cavalrymen. Screams were heard one after another, and the ground was littered with the bodies and broken limbs of the cavalrymen.
In the rear, Lu Gehongjia could no longer sit still. He thought that he could stabilize the morale of the army by personally going into battle and commanding the army.
But the battle situation ahead had already made him sweat profusely. This was no longer a question of morale, it was just that Chun Chun could not win.
The cavalry couldn't charge, and the heavy cavalry couldn't crash into them. If the fighting continued like this, all the men in his entire Lugo tribe would die here.
At this point, there is no point in continuing to fight. The most important thing is to preserve our strength and join the Kingdom of Chao.
He waved his hand and ordered the archers to prepare to shoot arrows to stop the pursuing Han cavalry, and then ordered the army to retreat.
Nagorburu, who was standing on the high platform and watching this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered to Nashi, "Where are our troops?"
Nashi replied: "They are all nearby, but our weapons have been taken away. However, the brothers found the enemy who stored the weapons..."
Nagorbru was overjoyed when he heard this. He shouted, "Tell everyone to take up their weapons and follow my orders!"
"Yes!"
On the other side, the Hu archers began to shoot arrows at the pursuing Zhao cavalry, but Huo Qubing did not dodge at all, but continued to pursue with his troops.
The moment the rain of arrows flew high into the sky, he commanded the army to disperse. With the blessing of [Shooting the Sky Wolf], they could completely rely on their reactions to dodge the incoming arrows.
The prerequisite is to have enough space, which is why Huo Qubing wanted his army to disperse.
The Zhao cavalrymen dodged the arrows flexibly. Although there were still some casualties, it was not a big deal. The most important thing was to annihilate the enemy completely!
Huo Qubing dodged two waves of arrows, and it was too late for the Hu archers to escape. The Zhao cavalry waved their iron halberds wantonly, taking away the lives of the Hu people one after another.
Without the obstruction of arrows, more and more Zhao cavalrymen rushed over, the archers were killed and blood flowed like a river, and many were trampled into meat paste.
As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole. Lu Gehongjia's order to retreat was like that ant hole that caused the morale of the entire Hu army to plummet, and everyone only wanted to escape.
Several hours of fighting had already made them feel physically and mentally exhausted, but the opponent was still pursuing them fiercely as if he had been given stimulant.
Although this kind of high-intensity combat will fill the body with strength at the beginning, the accumulated fatigue will become more and more serious as time goes by.
Not to mention that they were no match at all. Their numerical advantage was not reflected at all and they were instead slaughtered by the Han people.
The Hu soldiers fled at a rapid speed amid shouting, and every mile they retreated they left a trail of corpses on the grass behind them.
The grass is no longer its original green color, but has turned crimson. In the pursuit, the cavalry has an absolute advantage!
In order to surely annihilate these Hu people, Huo Qubing ordered the Zhao cavalry to equip themselves with longbows and shoot arrows to kill people during the pursuit.
Guan Yu also ordered the Wei Wu soldiers to ride on horses and pursue together, while Yue's army stayed on the original battlefield to clean up the battlefield.
There were some injured but not dead Hu soldiers on the battlefield, and they were all targets to be annihilated.
"Don't let them escape! The Lord said! Kill them all without leaving a single one alive!"
Huo Qubing was shooting arrows as he spoke, and the Zhao cavalrymen were also working hard to draw their bows and shoot arrows. Every arrow they shot took the life of a Hu soldier!
In addition to being shot, many Hu soldiers were knocked to the ground by their companions while fleeing.
When they got up from the ground, an arrow hit their forehead and they fell to the ground and died.
The Wei Wuzu army chased from another direction and eventually joined forces with the Zhao cavalry to annihilate the fleeing Hu troops.
Lu Gehongjia returned to the camp early with a group of people. He had no time to explain to his people, so he could only take his family and try to escape from this Shura field as quickly as possible.
After he quickly gathered his family, Lu Gehongjia planned to reluctantly let the remaining heavy cavalry and infantry stay behind to block the troops of Zhenxi Hou.
I thought the story of the Nagor tribe would not happen to him, but it turned out that everyone was the same, but I have to admit that
But at this moment he couldn't care less about Nagorburu. His own life was more important. As for Nagor's territories, he would have to take them back by himself if he had the ability.
Just as he was about to escape on horseback with his family, Nagorbru and the 10,000 troops he brought with him blocked Lugohonga's way.
"Your Majesty, I still have 10,000 soldiers and horses. Why don't I fight to the death with the Marquis of Zhenxi?" Nagorburu said in a deep voice.
Lugo Hongjia was also surprised to see that Nagorbru's soldiers were armed, and then he said angrily: "Where did you get the weapons?! Didn't you take them all away?"
At this time, Naxi suddenly rode forward and chopped off Lu Gehongjia's head before he could react!
"Lu Gehongjia must die, and the rest of you can live by following my king!" Naxi shouted while holding Lu Gehongjia's head.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately stepped forward and killed all of Lu Gehongjia's family members!
The other Hu generals who rushed over were all stunned when they saw this scene. Their king did not die at the hands of Marquis Zhenxi, but died at the hands of an outsider.
They immediately drew their weapons, and Nagorburu shouted, "If we continue to fight here, the Han army will come after us and no one will be able to escape."
"You bastard! You killed our king, how come you are right?" a Hu general said angrily.
"Don't forget that your Nagor tribe and our Lugo tribe have always been incompatible. The worst that can happen is that we will both die together!" another general said in a shocking voice.
Nagorburu shrugged and said calmly, "But many years ago we all belonged to the Pasu tribe, didn't we? Our ancestors are the same."
"But it's a fact that you killed our king! Can't we just escape from here together?"
"Too many people means a bigger target. Too many people will only expose us, and the target of Zhenxi Hou is Lu Gehongjia."
"If you follow Lu Gehongjia, with the terrifying strength of the Zhenxi Marquis' army, it is only a matter of time before they catch up with you."
After saying this, Nagorburu signaled Nasi to hand him Lugohonga's head.
"Leave your families behind and follow me to Chaoguo. Right now, only Chaoguo can help us defeat the Marquis of Zhenxi and recapture the grassland."
"The Chao Kingdom?" Lu Gehongjia's subordinates looked at each other, and one of them said in a deep voice: "Our tribe has received assistance from the Chao Kingdom."
"Not only have we failed to defeat the Marquis of Zhenxi, but we have also lost a large number of troops. Will the people of Chaoguo still be willing to accept us?"
"Yes! We were defeated so badly that I'm afraid that the people of Chao would laugh at us as useless barbarians. How could they be willing to take us in? Or even send troops to help us recover the grasslands?"
Nagorbru smiled and said, "Zhenxihou is the wolf, and Chaoguo is the tiger. In essence, both sides want our grassland land."
"But Chaoguo's primary target is Daying. But once Daying is taken by Chaoguo, will they really allow us, the Hu people, to return to the north after obtaining Daying's land and resources?"
A noble from the Lugo tribe questioned Lugo Hongjia: "As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world. We accepted the weapons assistance from the Chao Kingdom, so we must pay the price in the future."
"No, so we need to make up a reason, a reason that will convince the people of Chaoguo completely."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nagorburu raised the corner of his mouth, and Nasi and others began to move.
The generals under Lu Gehongjia looked at each other again, and then asked at the same time: "What's the reason?"
Nagorburu suddenly mounted his horse and said with a fierce smile, "Lügo Hongjia is secretly colluding with the Marquis of Zhenxi and wants to march into the Kingdom of Chao to seize its land."
He looked at the generals who were all shocked and laughed, then said in a deep voice: "Do you like this reason...?"
After Nagorburu finished speaking, Lugo Hongjia's men realized that all this was planned by Nagorburu.
Just as they were about to take action, Nagorburu's men took the lead. They quickly stepped forward and chopped off the heads of these high-ranking generals and nobles with their knives.
After quickly dealing with the core figures of the Lugo tribe, the moment Nagorburu raised his hand, his subordinates behind him drew their bows and arrows, and then shot and killed the remaining Hu people in front of them.
After Nasi and others got on their horses, Nagorburu gave an order and quickly fled from here with some of his men.
The rest of his men were trying to stop the soldiers and families of the Lugo tribe who wanted to escape. They were willing to stay for the sake of the king's great cause.
During this escape, Nagorburu even abandoned his family. He had to be fast to escape from the pursuit of the Marquis of Zhenxi.
As long as he can get the support of the Chao Kingdom and return to the grassland, he will be the new master of the grassland after regaining the lost land. At that time, countless people will be his vassals, and countless women will be willing to give birth to offspring for him.
Thinking of this, Nagorburu no longer felt sad and regretful for abandoning his family.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight." Without paying a price, how can you experience happiness after suffering?
Just wait, Marquis Zhenxi, when I, Nagorburu, return to the grassland, that will be the day of your destruction!
......
"The Han people are coming! Run! Run!"
The Hu people in the Luge tribe were in chaos. They fled elsewhere in panic, and among them were their own soldiers.
"According to the rules of the grassland! Adult men will be killed! Boys taller than the horse whip will be killed! Those who resist will be killed!"
Huo Qubing conveyed orders on horseback, and the Zhao cavalry followed his orders to execute people in the tribe.
"Brothers! Don't run away! These Han people killed our brothers and our families. Fight them! Even if it means death, we must find another!"
A deputy general of the Hu people raised his knife and shouted in the tribe, but no one paid any attention to him. Everyone was fleeing.
Seeing that no one answered, the deputy general of the Hu people could only curse and greet the family of Emperor Yingshi, the founding emperor of Daying. Then he targeted a Wei Wuzu and rushed forward.
"Die! The loyal dog of Emperor Daying!"
A red figure suddenly rushed over and split the Hu lieutenant general into two pieces. His weapon spun several times in the air and then stabbed into the grass beside the corpse.
Guan Yu held the knife to one side, blood dripping from the blade onto the grass. He glanced at the body on the ground, and then continued to look for the next target.
Some Hu soldiers also thought about resisting and killing the enemy, but those who had this idea were ultimately a minority, and their resistance could not cause any waves at all.
The Zhao cavalry kept shooting arrows to kill the fleeing Hu soldiers, and Yue's army also picked up usable armor-piercing arrows from the battlefield and filled their Shenbi bows to intercept and kill the Hu soldiers who had already run far away.
The Wei Wuzu surrounded the entire Luge tribe and drove the Hu people to one place for centralized management.
Ying Xuanze was walking in the tribe with Tiefutu. Just now, a Wei Wuzu soldier reported a piece of news.
They found a large number of bodies of Hu people in one place, and many of them were nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Ying Xuanze immediately became interested when he heard this. The nobles died en masse? These nobles all had their own guards and servants, so how could they let their masters be killed?
Moreover, his men only broke into the Luge tribe at this time, so it was obvious that these nobles were not killed by his men.
Could it be that there are friendly forces in the Luge tribe?
