The first ninety-seventh chapter is defeated like a mountain
In the night, the sound of horse hooves rumbling from the west.
Seeing that the city was about to break out, the barbarian army was even more motivated. Under the continuous impact of the barbarian army, the north city gate had been completely destroyed. The city gate was opened, but there were several layers of guards in the gate blocking them. The defenders were all spears in their hands. On the contrary, for the convenience of climbing the city, the barbarian soldiers fought with sabers. The battle at the city gate was really one inch long and one inch stronger. Although the city gate had been broken, the spears were like forests and they rushed forward layer by layer. Many of the barbarian soldiers rushing in the front were killed by spears.
The barbarians waved their swords and slashed forward, and archers shot arrows behind them. However, there were already piles of corpses inside the city gate. The barbarians stepped on the pile of corpses and rushed forward, roaring like ferocious beasts, which forced the soldiers in the city gate to retreat step by step.
The two armies were fighting in full swing, but not many people noticed the movements in the west for a while.
Moreover, on the battlefield, people shouted, horses neighed, swords and scattered, and the sudden sound of horse hooves only made most of the soldiers on both sides mistakenly think that it was barbarians wandering.
But Chu Shi could hear it clearly.
Although he personally participated in the siege, he was the commander of the barbarian army after all, so he naturally could not climb the city to fight, and he was still a little far from the city wall.
His feeling was very sharp, and the ground vibrated faintly. He didn't care at first, but soon he felt something was wrong and vaguely heard the sound of war horses neighing from the west.
Shi Shi has lived on the grassland since childhood and has developed a special skill, that is, he can roughly judge the number of war horses as long as he hears the sound.
The main forces of the barbarian army were attacking the city, and the sound of horse hooves faintly came from the west, at least six or seven thousand people. After a sudden storm, he realized that the sound of horse hooves could never be the Barbarian cavalry.
Not long ago, the bad news came back from the defeated barbarians from Panlong Mountain. In fact, Shi was worried that after the Northwest Army won, he would take advantage of the victory to pursue Wuping Mansion directly?
But he didn't expect that the Northwest Army would arrive as soon as possible and suddenly came to kill at this deadly moment.
Although he had not seen the flag yet, he had already concluded that the Northwest Army must have come over. At this time, he was both frightened and annoyed.
The barbarian army focused all their attention on Wuping Prefecture City, and there was no protection on the flanks.
Tu Shi received a bad news before, and actually thought about whether to beware of the Northwest Army's sudden attack on Wuping Prefecture at that time. If Tu Shi ordered the withdrawal of troops and turned to the formation to defend the Northwest Army, it would definitely cause the morale barbarian army to fall into chaos and cause extremely serious consequences.
Moreover, everything is ready to attack Wuping's Fortress. Only one attack, of course, the sudden attack will not be the case, and the order to return the troops halfway.
He was lucky enough to think that the Northwest Army had many troops, and even if he entered Wuping Mansion, the speed of the march would be slow. As long as he survived tonight and took over Wuping Mansion, the situation would be extremely beneficial to the barbarian army.
But I still couldn't get through this night, and the Northwest Army appeared when it shouldn't have appeared.
Of course he knew what the Northwest Army meant at this time. The barbarian army without flanking protection was all focused on Wuping Prefecture City. At this time, the Northwest Army could easily cut into the barbarian army formation from the flanks. Once this was the case, the barbarian army that was completely unprepared would inevitably fall into a state of chaos, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart. If he said that before, he only thought the name "Chu Huan" was very hateful, but now it has become "terrible"!
Of course he already understood that it was not accidental that the Northwest Army appeared at this time, but it must have been carefully designed.
From beginning to end, the Northwest Army has been harassing the outside world, but has not dispatched its main force to attack the Barbarian Army. It is also full of ways to consume the barbarian army's strength. It is precisely because of the Northwest Army's continuous harassment that Chu Shi felt that time was urgent and he hoped to take down Wuping City before the Northwest Army took action.
The Qin army and the barbarian army faced each other's tit-for-tat, with fierce offense and defense, and heavy casualties.
Shi Shi once believed that the Northwest Army had not taken action for a long time, but was afraid of the powerful army of the barbarian army and did not dare to act rashly.
But now he understood that the Northwest Army did not move, and it was not necessarily because it was really afraid of the barbarian army, but was waiting for the best time to take action and pick rich fruits.
Their time for action was just right. Not only did the Qin army reach the end of its reach, but also the barbarian army was the weakest.
"Range the array!" He shouted loudly, "Range the array to the west, prepare to face the enemy!" He shouted loudly to the nearby cavalry, hoarsely.
The barbarians attacked the city, but there were still countless cavalry that could not be crowded, but they were all riding on horseback and waiting for the battle. When the city gate was broken, they immediately rushed into the city.
They had already seen the city gate being broken, and the soldiers on both sides were engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat under the city gate. The cavalry knew that the time for rushing into the city was about to rob.
But there was a sudden attack in advance that when victory was in sight and bloody massacre and plundering was about to be launched, the various tribes of the barbarian army had already separated for granted, and the cavalry of each tribe had gathered together. The barbarian army was composed of dozens of tribes. When the time came to the city to plunder, they would naturally be whoever got it. They killed and injured many tribes. It was precisely for this moment that if the tribes could work together before the city was broken, they were all brothers from the grassland, then after the city was broken, the tribes would become opponents.
The women in the city are like a piece of cake. If one piece is stolen by someone, they will lose one piece. So everyone is working hard to make a big move after entering the city.
The cavalry were each team, and in order to seize the front of other tribes, they rushed towards the city gate. Chu Shi shouted loudly, but except for the few cavalry of his tribes nearby gathered, the cavalry of other tribes ignored it. Before the city was broken, you were the commander and led us to break through the city. But now the city was about to break, and that was because each had its own interests. The generals of each tribe were too lazy to pay attention to it. Some even suspected that Chu Shi shouted that the cavalry gathered in order to let the cavalry of each tribe retreat and let the cavalry of his own tribe rush forward.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer, but amid the war, few people are found.
Although the fighting sounds were too loud, it was also because of the excitement that many barbarian soldiers and generals ignored everything.
The last period of victory is often the most dangerous moment, and the barbarians obviously don't understand this truth.
Suddenly, his voice was hoarse and had little effect. He could only lead thousands of cavalry from this tribe to move quickly to the west, hoping that the soldiers of other tribes would discover the changes.
The sound of hooves was getting closer and closer, and Shi Khan suddenly led his troops to rush to the west. Soon, he saw a team of black iron-armored ghosts coming towards him.
The black-armored cavalry came so fast, as fast as the wind, as misty as the clouds.
Chu Huanren felt the feeling of cutting the face with a storm on the horse.
With a big sword in his hand, the Northwest Iron Cavalry had already had bows and arrows in his hand. The arrows were like locusts, shooting from a distance and cutting in close range. Although the reason is very simple, it is the most effective way to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
The arrows are like rain.
Chu Huan put his knife and took the bow, and two arrows were in his hand. After the arrow came out, the wind rushed forward. Before the oncoming barbarian cavalry could react, a piece of them fell to the ground.
The Northwest Army came prepared, but the barbarian cavalry was caught off guard. If both sides were prepared and faced a head-on battle, it might be a match for the opponent, but the barbarian soldiers at this moment obviously could not resist the sudden outbreak of the Northwest Iron Cavalry.
After a rain of arrows in the northwest cavalry, they all drew their swords in their hands, like a black flood, pouring in. The hundreds of barbarian cavalry rushing towards them were instantly swallowed by the black torrent.
The teams of both sides collided hard, but one side was slow, while the other side was like an iron plate covered with awls. People and horses neighed and screamed in succession. The northwest cavalry slapped on the opponent like storm waves. People were flying in the air, and horses neighed in the ground. In just an instant, nearly half of the hundreds of cavalry rushing up fell.
The individual cavalry of the northwest may not be the best cavalry in the world, but the ten people who are disciplined and unified in their orders and work together are far better than the fifty people who are loose, while the nearly ten thousand iron cavalry who are united are far better than the chaotic barbarian cavalry.
The main component of the Northwest Iron Cavalry was originally the moral black wind cavalry in Tianshan back then. It was the cavalry that Zhu Lingyue spent all his efforts to train. The cavalry were all cavalry generals such as Hou Jingang, and they had long been a disciplined team.
Under Chu Huan's command, they just need to obey.
Amid the sound of the trumpet, the northwest cavalry suddenly separated and instantly divided into four teams, like four black sharp arrows, shooting hard into the barbarian formation.
The Northwest Iron Cavalry of course knew what the Barbarian Army did in Hexi. No matter what, the Barbarian Army burned, killed and plundered in Hexi, which had already made the Northwest Army very angry. At this time, they rushed into the formation and were invincible with spears and scimitars.
Although they were fast, the entire cavalry formation was not at all chaotic. Four teams rushed into the barbarian army formation, and the barbarian army was overturned for a moment and screamed in pain.
Chu Huan personally came to the battle formation, like a dragon, and led a team of people and horses into the enemy's belly. Gu Liangchen, Langwazi, Qin Lei and other brave generals were like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Under the fierce attack of the northwest cavalry, the barbarian army was already divided. Many barbarian soldiers were dismounted to attack the city, but before they could find their own war horses, they were taken away by the whistling northwest cavalry like harvesting wheat.
Although many barbarian soldiers have discovered that countless iron cavalry suddenly appeared on the battlefield, there are still many barbarian soldiers who are not sure of it, and are still striving to attack the city.
At this time, the city was covered with barbarian troops. They had already gained an overwhelming advantage on the city tower, but the defenders were still fighting to the death.
The barbarian army claimed to be the army of tigers and wolves, but without any preparation, they were like a group of panicked sheep in the eyes of the Northwest Iron Cavalry, while the real army of tigers and wolves was the Northwest Iron Cavalry.
Wherever the Black Armor torrent passed, corpses were everywhere.
Suddenly Shi fought hard, but was swept by the barbarian army. Fortunately, he had many personal guards around him. In addition, in the dark, the Northwest Army was difficult to tell who was the commander of the barbarian army. They just rushed down the vast city. Suddenly Shi Khan escaped by luck. Looking back, the Northwest Army was in a uniform formation, but the barbarian army was already scattered from east to west. Under the charge of the Northwest Army, it was even more chaotic. Although many barbarian soldiers were very brave and rushed up to fight with the Northwest Cavalry, how could the barbarian soldiers fighting each of them resist the Northwest Army formation that looked like a fist.
On the city tower, Qin soldiers finally discovered something outside the city. They saw several cavalry rushing back and forth in the barbarian formation. It can be clearly seen that these cavalry were all wearing armor, which was very different from the barbarians' fur clothes. Someone immediately cheered loudly: "Reinforcements are here, reinforcements are here!"
The defenders were already determined to die and fought with the barbarian army. At this time, they thought they had reached the end of their lives. Even if they fought to the death, they would not be able to stop the barbarian army from breaking through the city.
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting. Many people on the city tower looked down and saw that the densely packed barbarians under the city were already in chaos. When I saw the black-armored cavalry waving their big swords, slashing and killing the barbarians, I also shouted: "Reinforcements are here, brothers, kill me!" For a moment, the already desperate defenders on the city were greatly motivated.
However, the barbarians heard the screams of the city and saw the soldiers and horses of various tribes scattered in all directions. Many cavalry had even retreated north. They were shocked. They had already gained an absolute advantage, and were about to kill the city tower and rushed into the city. When they suddenly saw this scene, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that something had happened.
There is naturally no shortage of brains among the barbarians. They have seen the clues of the matter and shouted anxiously: "The reinforcements of the Southern Barbarians are here, leave quickly!"
In fact, there are still tens of thousands of barbarians, and they are all brave and good at fighting. If they keep their positions in this chaos, they may not be able to block the offensive of the Northwest Army.
The city tower is almost under the control of the barbarian army. There are many barbarian cavalry under the city. If they can be dispatched in a unified manner and divided into two places, not only will the Wuping Prefecture City be taken down, but the barbarian army may not be unable to regain the battle situation.
However, the barbarian army was a tribal alliance and had always fought on their own. Although they joined forces to launch a continuous attack on Wuping City, they still could not form a unity between the upper and lower levels.
It is natural for them to attack together, but when a sudden change occurs, it is difficult to unite and fight back in adversity. The soldiers of each tribe only know how to find companions and generals of their tribes for a moment, while the generals of each tribe are also desperately looking for their subordinates. When the disaster comes, the tribes are not thinking of organizing counterattacks immediately, but are worried that under the attack of the Northwest Army, the tribes will suffer heavy casualties.
The few small tribes who had not yet attacked the city were still outside. Seeing that the situation was not good, they ignored the soldiers of other tribes, turned their horses and immediately ran north regardless of everything. Because of this, the morale of the barbarian army collapsed almost in a moment, and the horses were neighing. More barbarian soldiers were no longer interested in fighting and rushed to the north like waves, all thinking of quickly leaving the battlefield and protecting their tribe members.
The barbarians on the city tower saw their companions leaving them and left, and were frightened. At this time, there was no intention to continue attacking the city. They ran to the battlements and then walked back. The defenders who had been forced to exit the city tower saw this scene, naturally would not miss such an opportunity and took advantage of the situation to counterattack. For a time, many barbarian soldiers were killed and injured. Many people even jumped from the high city head under the counterattack of the defenders, and fell to pieces.
Although Chu Shi was ambitious, he was not a person who was ignorant of the current affairs. Although he also wanted to organize a counterattack, in this chaotic situation, the barbarian army either fought on their own or fled desperately, and wanted to gather troops to fight back. It was a fantasy. He always thought that the barbarian soldiers were the most fierce soldiers in the world. However, the Northwest cavalry he saw at this time was like a devil army coming from hell. These Northwest cavalry were covered in blood and had their own blood, but more were the enemy's blood. Even so, they were not afraid, and the horse's hooves trampled across and swept everything wherever they passed.
Wherever the Northwest Iron Cavalry goes, it will be like a monster's mouth, devouring everything.
"Sweat!" Several riders next to him came forward, "Go away quickly, you can't stay anymore!" Someone even grabbed the reins of the sudden horse and pulled them northward.
At this moment, I felt sad and distraught.
He knew very well that the barbarians were not united and were never an enemy of the Central Plains. He had always had the ambition to unify the grassland. As long as he unified the tribes, even if he could not confront the Central Plains, he would no longer have to be afraid of the Central Plains dynasty. However, in this defeat alone, the barbarians' confidence and glory will be completely defeated to the bottom. For at least decades, the barbarians will not dare to take a step towards the Central Plains.
Moreover, this time, most of the elite troops on the grassland were gathered. Whether it was soldiers or war horses, they were the best on the grassland. However, after the defeat, the troops lost countless people and horses. If they wanted to recover their vitality, they could not be achieved in three to five years.
More and more barbarians followed the team to flee north. The so-called defeat was like a mountain. The soldiers of Chushi's tribe also fled northward in large numbers. Chushi looked at the collapsed city and sighed to the sky, "God doesn't bless me!" Finally, he turned his horse's head, shook the reins of the horse, and then left. The small number of cavalry gathered by him saw Chushi's escape, and he no longer cared about anything else and rushed to flee.
The four teams of cavalry in the northwest performed their respective duties. The two teams of soldiers were still intercepted and killed at the city, while the other two teams of cavalry were closely behind the fleeing barbarians.
The barbarians fled in a hurry, and countless people trampled on each other. Inside and outside the city wall, above and below the city, there were fragmented corpses everywhere, with big swords and arrows scattered all over the ground, and a large number of war horses also fell to the ground.
Under the fire, there is a terrifying scene of Shura Hell.
Two teams of Lang Wazi and Gu Liangchen chased the enemy and killed the enemy. Qin Lei led a team of soldiers to cut and slaughter the barbarian soldiers who retreated from the city. The soldiers who had been fighting with the barbarian soldiers within the city gate saw the barbarian soldiers retreating like a tide. Many people were very excited, but they were already chasing out of the city and following the barbarian soldiers and slaughtering the dogs falling into the water.
The continuous attacks of the barbarians against Wuping Prefecture City over the days also led to the death of many powerful men defending the city. These powerful men were all people in the city, many of whom were brothers and friends. Even in the fight, they all formed blood feuds with the barbarians. If you have the opportunity to retaliate at this time, you will naturally not miss it. Countless powerful men rushed out from the city gate that had been broken, and shouted and waved the big sword and spear in their hands to kill the barbarians who were in a mess.
There were people everywhere in the city, including barbarians, cavalry in the northwest, and the strong men guarding the city were mixed together. In the darkness, they might not be able to see the face of the man. Fortunately, the cavalry in the northwest was all wearing armor, which was easy to identify. Whenever the strong men saw those wearing fur clothes, they immediately looked over. When they saw the cavalry in the northwest, they could not figure out where the reinforcements came from, but they must be their own men and shouted at the joy.
Chu Huan naturally saw a large number of strong men rushing out of the city, and ignored it. Instead, he led his team of cavalry and rushed straight towards the city gate.
With the sound of horse hooves, the soldiers squeezing at the city gate saw the armored cavalry rushing over without slowing down the horse's speed at all. They dodged one after another. The cavalry rushing in the front were already riding horses and trampling past the corpses blocking the city gate. The cavalry behind rushed into the city like a long dragon.
Chu Huan entered the city with a flying horse. He glanced at him and found that there were not many soldiers crowded by the city gate. Chu Huan was naturally clear about the guards' outfits. More than a dozen guards mixed in the crowd obviously realized that Chu Huan's troops were not as friendly as they imagined, but they all held swords tightly. However, at this time, the cavalry in the northwest rushed into the city like a tide, and these guards did not dare to act rashly.
Chu Huan entered the city, raised his sword and made a few moves. The cavalry immediately rushed to both sides and guarded the city ladder. Chu Huan glanced at a guard soldier not far away and urged his horse to go over. The guard soldier was extremely alert. He was in front of him, and the two guard soldiers were also approaching, all looking at Chu Huan with a look of alert.
Chu Huan rode down and looked down at the guard soldiers, and finally asked lightly: "Where is Dingwu?"
"Bold!" A soldier in the Guards immediately shouted: "How dare you call the emperor's name? Are you going to rebel?"
"I have been rebelling for a long time, don't you know?" Chu Huan's face showed a sneer, "Do you know who I am?"
Several soldiers from the Guards actually called themselves "I King" when they heard that Chu Huan actually called themselves "I King", and all of them changed color. Apart from a few princes, there was no other title of king. There was no doubt that the person in front of him must be a rebel.
"Who are you?" asked the blood-stained guard soldier in a deep voice.
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Dingwu is going to take the head of my king. It turns out that you don't know who I am?"
"He is Chu Huan!" A guard suddenly realized it and said in a lost voice: "He is Chu Huan from the northwest."
Chapter completed!
