Straight man of steel

Chapter 209
At the order of the Hun Da Shanyu, nearly [-] Hun cavalry roared towards Li Xi's direction, completely ignoring Li Guang who was on the side.

Li Guang was anxious. If Li Xi was seriously injured, the two armies of the Xiongnu would gather at one place and raise their strength to one hundred thousand. By that time, the tens of thousands of Han infantry here would not be enough for the Hun cavalry to charge.

In the valley, Yu Dan was still desperately attacking Li Xi's line.

Li Xi led troops for many years, and lived in Beidi County on the border of the Han Dynasty, and often dealt with the Huns.

Before the first contact, three rows of repelling horses were arranged on the front line, and the halberds were also arranged behind the sword and shield hands, and the entire battle formation was orderly.

If Han Anguo had followed Li Xi's line of battle, the current situation would never have happened.

Li Xi saw the Hun cavalry rushing towards him on both sides, and he could clearly feel the ground trembling, and the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground was like thunder.

"Made, old man Han Anguo is too useless, now I can't blame him.

After passing the order, the whole army retreated into the forests on both sides, and quickly gathered troops to clean up the battlefield. "

The lieutenant on one side was shocked. He knew that once this order was issued, it would be tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

"General Caiguan, this is impossible.

If Yu Dan joins forces with the military officials, we will never have another chance. "

Li Xi frowned and shouted sharply.

"Yeah, don't you know the seriousness of the matter?

Han Anguo held the most troops in his hands, and he couldn't even defend the mouth of a valley.

He also sent so many Hun cavalry to Yeye, and now Ma De's [-] troops can't even be seen.

During this trip, we and General Xiaoqi killed at least [-] Huns soldiers, but our own casualties were far lower than that of the Huns army. "

When the lieutenant heard the truth, he waited for the cavalry from both sides to attack and cause huge casualties to the soldiers of the Han army, or he would accept it as soon as it was good. No matter who it was, he would choose the latter.

"The last general will give the order."

Li Xi nodded and said.

"Go."

In the valley, Han Anguo had just gathered with Gongsun He, and was thinking about pushing all the three-bow bed crossbows to the frontal battlefield. He had thought that the battlefield on the other side had undergone earth-shaking changes.

"General Gongsun, when we push all these bed crossbows up, the tens of thousands of Xiongnu thieves under Yu's single hand will not even have a place to escape."

Gongsun He looked relaxed, no matter what, he is the most profitable now, with [-] heads of the Huns in hand, and there is no battle damage in front of him.

He had already thought about it, and later let Han Anguo's army fight the Huns in the middle of the chase, and his men were still on both sides of the mountain forest, just throwing back arrows to pick up people's heads.

"The general who protects the country is a great talent, and the last general admires him.

Since General Protector is so confident, it will be up to you later to see how you show off your might. "

When Han Anguo heard Gongsun He's flattery, he didn't care whether it was true or not, and chuckled twice to express his response.

But when they listened to the sound of killing and continued to move forward, they found that the sound of killing was getting smaller and smaller.

"No, something is wrong.

Send a team of people to find out immediately. "

Gongsun He said to the lieutenant on the side.

"Here."

Moments later, a group of Han cavalry broke away from the army and rushed forward to investigate the situation.

Han Anguo and Gongsun He maintained the current speed and moved forward slowly.

Originally, a part of Gongsun He's army was on the battlefield on Li Xi's side, but after Gongsun He received Han Anguo's order, he withdrew all the army.

The purpose is to cut off all the heads of the Huns who died in the valley.

The valley here is about six miles long, and it takes less than half an hour to walk at full speed to walk from one end to the other.

Although the military ministers and the wolf suddenly circled around, their speed on horseback was many times faster than on foot.

In addition, Gongsun He and Han Anguo wasted a lot of time, and they were beaten by the military ministers for a time difference.

At the beginning, if Gongsun He received Han Anguo's order, he immediately encircled him. Even if he couldn't clean up the order in a short time, it could give Li Xi great confidence.

After about half a quarter of an hour passed, all the cavalry scouts who went to investigate the situation had returned.

"Tell me, what happened up front?"

Han Anguo looked very anxious.

He couldn't let Yu Dan just run away.

The head of the scout team got off his horse immediately and half-kneeled in front of Han Anguo.

"Reporting to General Protector, the Hun cavalry who were going to break out of the siege, and there is a large group of Hun cavalry outside the valley to meet them.

General Caiguan was defeated and retreated to the mountains on both sides. "

After Han Anguo finished listening, his dark eyes swept over the scout.

"Since this is the case, let's speed up and step forward to support General Caiguan. We must not let General Caiguan and General Xiaoqi be besieged by the Huns cavalry."

Gongsun He didn't know what Han Anguo had done before, and he didn't know the twists and turns between these old fritters. He really thought that Li Xi retreated because he was attacked by the Huns cavalry on both sides.

But Han Anguo on the other side is very clear in his heart, because he did exactly the same thing not long ago.

Under Gongsun He's order, the 15 Han infantry accelerated and headed towards the valley entrance on the other side.

After a quarter of an hour, they finally saw what it looked like.

Li Xi led more than 6 Han infantry and all retreated into the mountains. The Huns cavalry could not enter the mountains to fight the Han army, so they could only confront Li Xi at the mouth of the valley.

The two sides kept shooting arrows. If it wasn't for the dark sky, they would have seen countless arrows forming a perfect parabola in midair.

"Push the three-bow bed crossbow up, the arrows of the Huns can't shoot here, but our three-bow bed crossbow has a long enough range."

Gongsun He shouted loudly.

After learning the news that Yu Dan had broken out of the siege, Gongsun He ordered all the torches of the entire army to be extinguished.

The Huns have not yet realized that the two armies of Han Anguo and Gongsun He have merged into one place, and they are less than [-] steps away.

"General, two hundred three-bow bed crossbows have been set up."

The lieutenant general on one side said to Gongsun He.

Originally, Gongsun He had a thousand three-bow bed crossbows in his hand, but now that the valley entrance is narrow, he can only display two hundred three-bow bed crossbows.

A fierce look suddenly appeared on Gongsun He's face, and he immediately shouted.

"Shoot this general hard!"

The distance of [-] paces is not too far. Before, it was because of the shooting arrows coming and going with the Han army in the mountains on both sides. The military officials and others did not hear the sound in the valley.

Even if they heard something before, they thought it was the people under Li Xi who made the noise.

But when the three-bow bed crossbow and crossbow arrows broke through the air because they were too fast, they directly overwhelmed the sound of the bow and crossbow arrows, and the military officials realized that the situation was not good.

"The whole army retreats!"

After turning the horse's head, the military minister immediately shouted loudly.
