At this moment, outside Yanmen Pass, on the battlefield, the three forces of the Han army were like hungry spotted hyenas, biting the Xianbei army mercilessly.

The Xianbei line collapsed quickly, and the soldiers fled everywhere, unable to organize effective resistance.

At this time, the black armored heavy cavalry rushed into the enemy formation like a steel torrent, dividing the Xianbei army into three parts. There was chaos in the Xianbei tent, and fear filled the air.

A general ran to He Lian in a panic: "It's not good! Shanyu! Our army's defense line has been broken by the Han army, we must break through as soon as possible!" He shouted anxiously.

He Lian's face was pale, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes, but he still tried to stay calm.

The generals around him comforted him and said: "Don't worry, sir, we still have a chance! As long as we escape back to the grassland, relying on my appeal, we can regroup our forces and make a comeback!" Hearing this, He Lian felt a little comforted, but he knew in his heart that this was just empty talk. Facing such a powerful Han army, whether they can break through the enemy is a huge problem.

"Chanyu, the enemy has a loophole in the blockade in the north, we can leave from the north!" A general suddenly shouted. He Lian was refreshed and ordered: "Okay! Just as you said!" He knew that if they didn't seize this opportunity, they might never have a chance to escape.

He Lian, surrounded by a group of personal soldiers, quickly boarded the carriage. Then, the Xianbei generals led the soldiers to rush towards the gap in the north. They waved their weapons and bravely moved forward, trying to break through the Han army's defense line.

However, although the north was a gap left for them by the Han army on purpose, they could not let them get out so quickly.

Liu Yao quickly dispatched troops to block the way of the Xianbei army. He Lian's carriage was surrounded by the Han army. He widened his eyes and looked at the dense Han army around him, his heart full of despair.

At this time, General Huang Zhong rode forward and shouted loudly: "He Lian! You have no way to escape! Surrender quickly, otherwise you will die!"

He Lian gritted his teeth. He knew that he could not escape, but he did not want to be a prisoner. He drew the scimitar at his waist and prepared for the last fight.

"You escort the Chanyu away! I will stop this Han general!" With a loud shout, three fierce generals rushed out of the Xianbei army to stop Huang Zhong. The other guards fought hard and launched a fierce battle with the Han army.

For a time, shouts and shouts were heard on the battlefield, and swords and shadows were intertwined. The formation of the Han army gradually had gaps under the fierce attack of the Xianbei people. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards who drove the carriage hurriedly drove the carriage and fled the scene with the Chanyu.

At the same time, Liu Yao also realized the change in the situation. He knew the way of using troops in Sun Tzu's Art of War and understood that when the troops were equal, he could not attack blindly, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: The method of using troops is to surround them if you have ten times the number of troops, attack them if you have five times the number of troops, divide them if you have twice the number of troops, fight them if you are the enemy, escape if you have fewer troops, and avoid them if you are not as strong as them. This sentence means that if you have ten times the number of troops as the enemy, you can surround and annihilate the enemy; if you have five times the number of troops as the enemy, you can launch an attack; if you have only one times the number of troops as the enemy, you need to try to disperse the enemy; if your troops are equal to the enemy, you should find a way to defeat the enemy; if your troops are fewer than the enemy, you must choose to retreat; if your strength is not as good as the enemy, you should avoid a decisive battle.

Now, the number of Han troops led by Liu Yao is almost the same as that of the Xianbei people, but they surrounded the Xianbei people, so their defensive strength is relatively weak. In this case, Liu Yao decisively ordered to adjust tactics and shrink the defense line to ensure his own safety. At the same time, he ordered Huang Zhong to lead part of the army to pursue the fleeing Chanyu and make sure not to let him escape.

Although this battle was temporarily victorious, Liu Yao knew that there was still a long way to go in the future and more challenges awaited them. However, he firmly believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve his goal.

At this moment, a scout came galloping and reported to Tian Feng: "Report! Military Advisor! Our soldiers found that He Lian left in a carriage."

Tian Feng frowned when he heard this. He clearly remembered that when He Lian led the army to fight in person, he always rode a horse to charge into battle.

But this time he chose to escape from the battlefield in a carriage. According to common sense, riding a horse is more conducive to escape and is not easy to be detected.

So why did He Lian choose this method?

Could it be...

A thought flashed through Tian Feng's mind. Could it be that He Lian had a physical problem and could not ride a horse? Thinking of this, Tian Feng's heart jumped suddenly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

If this is true, it would be a great opportunity! If it can make the Xianbei singleIf Helian died on the way to escape, the Xianbei tribe on the grassland would surely fall into chaos! Now, the three major tribes of the Xianbei, namely the three chieftains of the east, the middle and the west, have all died in battle.

Once Helian, the Chanyu, also fell, the Xianbei tribe would lose its unified leadership core and would decline from then on. For the Han Dynasty, this is undoubtedly great news.

"Quickly send a message to Zhang Liao! Tell him that Helian is seriously ill and must be killed! Victory or defeat depends on this one!"

After receiving the order, Zhang Liao immediately took action. He organized a line of defense. The first line of defense was the Xiongnu's responsibility for interception.

He led the cavalry on the second line of defense, and Gao Shun led the heavy infantry and crossbowmen.

Along the way, the Xianbei army protected Helian, hiding from here and there, and finally avoided the pursuit of the Southern Xiongnu.

At this time, there were less than 5,000 Xianbei soldiers left around Helian, and they temporarily rested in a narrow valley.

And Zhang Liao found the carriage that Helian was riding. The carriage was protected by dozens of Xianbei guards, holding scimitars and looking alert.

"Gao Shun! I will lead the cavalry to kill the general first, and you will lead the infantry to support me in the rear!"

After saying that, Zhang Liao was not afraid, and led the light cavalry to rush to the carriage.

He waved the long halberd in his hand and fought fiercely with He Lian's guards.

Now the guards left are the elites of the Xianbei army, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to the soldiers around Zhang Liao.

But Zhang Liao's courage and determination made him move forward bravely. He led the soldiers to fight bravely and gradually gained the upper hand.

After a hard fight, Zhang Liao finally found an opportunity and successfully approached He Lian's carriage, and the long halberd was directly inserted into the carriage.

"Get up!!!!"

Zhang Liao raised his arms with force, and the roof of the carriage was instantly lifted off.

He Lian was sitting in the carriage and was frightened.

"Die! He Lian!!!"

Zhang Liao raised his halberd again and stabbed He Lian in the chest.
