Chapter 581 Simple and Rough
Seeing Liang Xiao leading his troops towards Yiwuer, Maqi was so scared that his face turned pale and regretted it.
Prince Batu is in danger!
I thought Liang Xiao was a legendary figure who was well-equipped and well-trained. As long as the tactics were used properly, there should be a chance to win this battle. This allowed Batu to fight with Liang Xiao, fighting for the name of bravery, and also commanding the remnants of the Yuezhi family and regaining their strength. Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao was so reckless and had no tactics, so he rushed over directly.
This is undoubtedly the way to die. Not to mention that once the cavalry surrounded by two wings catch up with them, they will inevitably be able to cover up the killing momentum. Just say that there are still a thousand knights in Yiwuer's formation directly opposite Liang Xiao, not only twice as many as the Han army, but also the most elite knights. If Liang Xiao wants to defeat them, he will definitely pay a considerable price. Once he is blocked, he will be caught up by the encircled cavalry and attacked from front to back, and he will undoubtedly die.
Maqi was very upset, but had no choice but to order his subordinates to gather and prepare for battle. He could not watch Batu die in front of him, and knew he would be defeated, but he had to attack.
This was probably the last battle between Yuezhi and the east of the Palacio, and Maqi's heart was full of tragedy.
Just as Maqi drew out his battle knife and was about to attack, a personal guard called him in surprise. "Prince, look!"
March looked along the guard's fingers and saw a surprising scene.
Liang Xiao and others had already broken through the opponent's blockade and faced Yiwuer head-on. On the grass behind him, many knights were hiding from each other. Countless masterless war horses were galloping lightly on the battlefield, standing in a daze, neighing, calling on their master, but they could not get a response.
Although they were far apart and could not see the specific situation clearly, judging from the formation of the Han army, the losses of the Han army should be very small and almost negligible. Not only that, their formation was still strict, as if the fallen opponents had nothing to do with them. They moved forward, ran faster and faster, and rushed towards Yiwuer.
On the other hand, Yiwuer seemed to have never expected this situation. The war horses had not accelerated yet, and the personal guards behind him were in chaos, with flags dancing, horns ringing, and the war horses colliding with each other, in chaos.
"How could this happen?" March was surprised and happy.
"I don't know." The guard swallowed and said, "Yiwuer sent four or five hundred cavalry to fight, but these people may not have reacted and did not block the Han army at all. The Han army rushed over directly. Oh, it's not right. They should have shot a wave of arrows, and there was still contact on the outside, and then... Then the people fell to the ground and the Han army rushed over."
March glared at the incoherent guards and blamed himself. He was only concerned about integrating the team, but he actually missed such a wonderful scene. While staring at the battlefield and looking carefully, he was afraid that another scene would be missed. He loudly ordered all the knights to see clearly, see how the Han army fought, see how Prince Batu performed, and whether he was brave enough.
With more than a thousand steps, you can see where Batu is. However, Batu is already a member of the Han army at this moment. The performance of the Han army is Batu. The Han army is brave in combat, so Batu is brave enough. It doesn’t matter if it is not brave. Behind him is the heroic Han army, the heroic champion Hou is enough.
Liang Xiao didn't know what the mentality of Maqi was watching the battle, but he could roughly guess what these people were thinking. He inexplicably remembered the Battle of Julu. When Xiang Yu faced several times the elite Qin army, the armies of other countries were watching this way, and finally made Xiang Yu famous. After the battle, they could only crawl into Xiang Yu's tent.
He was not Xiang Yu, and he did not have Xiang Yu's peerless martial arts skills, but Yiwuer was not Wang Li, and these two thousand cavalrymen were not elite Great Wall Legion. This was a gift for him, and he had no reason not to accept it.
Although he was still more than two hundred steps away, he had already seen Yiwu's panic.
Yiwuer sent four or five hundred cavalry to block the attack, hoping to use these people to block his footsteps, and even trap him, waiting for the encirclement of the cavalry to return to the rescue. Three times the force of the troops was a very stable tactic. However, Yiwuer underestimated his strength and made a fatal mistake.
Although he only had more than four hundred cavalry, all of these more than four hundred cavalry were carefully selected warriors. With the advantages of equipment and horses, they could completely despise any opponent of the same number, not to mention these poorly equipped and unprepared Mishu cavalry. When they entered the range and the two sides began to shoot each other, many Mishu cavalry had not even adjusted the arrow bag to the appropriate position.
Liang Xiao, Firefox and others shot at the same time, first attacking these Miscellaneous Hu cavalry. Several knights who looked more powerful were caught in the air. The originally not-tidy charge formation was knocked out of the sharpest part, making it even more chaotic. Immediately afterwards, Xie Guanglong rushed to the front of these knights with sporadic arrows. The spearhead created by Uziti once again tasted the deliciousness of blood and easily tore open their line.
More than 400 knights and more than 1,000 war horses flocked in, instantly killing these scrambled cavalrymen who were fighting in a hurry and defeated the army.
One was full of murderous intent and prepared, the other was underestimated and neglected, and responded hastily; the other was well-equipped and well-trained, and the other was incomplete armor and a mob; when the two sides contacted each other, the superiors were immediately judged. The Mihu cavalry was ruthlessly trampled by the Han army, and suffered heavy casualties. However, the Han army was like a war wolf who had just smelled the smell of blood, with a high spirit of fighting.
Under the leadership of Liang Xiao, they fought toward Yiwuer without hesitation.
Yiwuer was shocked. The development of the battle situation was much beyond his imagination. The two tactics he arranged were all failed and had no effect. Liang Xiao seemed to have suddenly stood in front of him, but he was not ready for battle.
Yiwu screamed instinctively: "Charge and prepare for battle!" While shouting, he held out his own bow.
After following Wu Shan in seclusion in the mountains for several years, he also practiced good archery skills. Although he was not as powerful as Wu Shan and did not have the hard bow as the Earth Bow, his archery skills were also a magical archer. After Wu Shan shot Aliu, he rewarded Aliu's bow to him. He was like a tiger with wings. Except Wu Shan, he was confident that he could shoot any opponent.
Including Liang Xiao, this is also the reason why he was impatient to face Liang Xiao.
However, when Liang Xiao appeared in front of him, he found that he was not ready. His war horse had not yet run, his arms had not moved, and the bow he used to was not pulled open all at once.
Just as Yiwuer was sweating so much that he took a deep breath and was about to pull it again, Xie Guanglong had already entered his battle formation, and Liang Xiao, who was rushing in front, also shot a killing arrow.
The arrow branch broke through the wind, and Yiwuer felt the air in front of him twisting, and a feather arrow suddenly appeared in front of him. He wanted to hide, but he didn't have time to react, so he could only barely lower his head, hoping to escape the vital points.
"Puff!" With a crisp sound, the feather arrow shot through his helmet, shot in from the forehead, and shot out from the back of his head. The red blood and white brains slid down from the stern arrow made of wuz iron. The sunlight illuminated the stern arrow, like Liang Xiao's sarcastic eyes.
One hundred and twenty steps away, among the chaotic army, Liang Xiao shot Yiwuer with an arrow.
Before Yiwu's personal guard could react, he watched Yiwu fall down and blood overflowed from his helmet, and his life was overwhelmed.
A moment later, dozens of feathered arrows shot. The guards who had not yet recovered from Yiuer's sudden death were all caught and fell off the horse. Follow Yiuer on the road to death and continue to protect Yiuer.
Yiwuer and his personal guards and commanders were shot and killed one after another, and the command center was destroyed. The remaining Mihu cavalry were immediately in a mess. Looking at the Han army galloping towards him, the closest ones responded to the challenge, and the far away ones simply turned their heads and prepared to escape.
The Han army took Xie Guanglong as the front and rushed to Yiwuer's central army with a force. Xie Guanglong picked up Yiwuer's body and threw it into the air. A knight waved his sword and chopped off Yiwuer's head with one knife. Immediately afterwards, someone tore off Yiwuer's battle flag, picked it at the tip of the spear, and raised it high.
Seeing Yiwuer's head and battle flag, the Han army was full of morale. The Zahu cavalry under Yiwuer were shocked and stopped the war horses and watched everywhere in panic. Some even jumped off the war horses, threw away their weapons, and raised their hands to surrender. They were not Yiwuer's old subordinates, but they had to surrender due to the strength of Wudan and Yiwuer. Now the situation is wrong, and Yiwuer died in battle again, so they naturally would not continue to work hard for Yiwuer.
With Liang Xiao's order, the Han cavalry rushed out of Yiwuer's chaos and rushed to the distant hillside. Taking advantage of the slope, they slowed down and slowly stopped on the hillside, turned around and looked at the chasing enemy and re-arranged.
The thousand cavalrymen who were ordered to surround the mountain chased to the foot of the mountain, watching the murderous Han knights who were ready to start charging again, were in a daze. They pursued them all the way but failed to catch up with the Han army, but witnessed with their own eyes how the Han army defeated Yiwuer. Now Yiwuer is dead, and they don’t know where to go.
Looking at the confused and panicked enemy, the Han knights couldn't help laughing loudly.
This battle was very happy. Even the veterans who followed Xie Guanglong and Guo Wu in the northern border for many years did not expect that this battle would be so easy. Facing three or four times the enemy, they actually won with one blow, which was unimaginable.
Xie Guanglong, holding a spear, turned his horse's head, shouted at Liang Xiao in the formation: "June, it's better to follow you to fight, it's great!"
Liang Xiao raised his hand, signaled to Xie Guanglong, and said to Batu beside him: "Prince, are you still nervous?"
Batu wiped the blood off his face and was inexplicably excited. "Don't be nervous anymore, fight with Junhou, there is nothing to worry about. Follow him and rush forward and just slash people with a knife."
"Hahaha..." Liang Xiao laughed and reached out to pat Batu on the shoulder. "Remember, with my great man supporting you, everything is nothing."
"Okay, I remember." Batu nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, it's time for you to play now. I just saw the bow used by Yiwuer. It seems to be the human bow that Aliusu imitated back then. You can take it, and add Aliusu's head, and you will be firmly in the position of Prince Yuezhi."
"Thank you, marquis!" Batu bowed and urged the horse to come out of the battle, and led dozens of his personal guards to gallop forward.
Liang Xiao made a gesture to Xie Guanglong. Xie Guanglong understood and took the cavalry and served Batu together, accelerated again, and ran down the hillside.
Liang Xiao ordered the messenger to blow the horn and launch the order to charge again.
The Han army knights kicked the war horses lightly and went down the mountain. They took advantage of the slope and ran faster and faster. The horse's hooves smashed the grass and stepped on the ground, stirring up a torrent, rolling up a thunder, and killing the enemy under the hillside unstoppable.
Although there were still a thousand people from the Mishu Cavalry under the hillside, they had no fighting spirit. Seeing the Han army killing again, after a brief hesitation, they quickly made a decision, turned their horses to avoid them, and some simply jumped off their war horses and raised their hands to surrender.
Under the protection of Xie Guanglong and others, Batu ran all the way, and encountered almost no real resistance, and returned to Yiwu's central army again. He jumped off his horse, found Aliu's bow and head, held it in his arms, and looked at Aliusu's only skeleton's head, and couldn't help crying.
"Prince, it's not the time to cry." Xie Guanglong reminded: "Immediately put on the prince's helmet and pick up the prince's bow. You are now the prince of Yuezhi."
Batu woke up from his dream and quickly changed into Aliusu's helmet, picked up Aliusu's bow, stepped onto the war horse again, and continued to chase and kill the fleeing enemies.
In the distance, Maqi heard the sound of trumpets, saw the Batu battle flag charging in front, and saw Batu charging in front, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Although he couldn't see Batu's face clearly, he had a feeling that Aliusu was back.
"Kill" Maqi pulled out his battle knife and whistled fiercely. "Follow the prince"
"Follow the Prince" Yuezhi's remaining members were excited and pulled out their battle swords, kicked the war horses hard, and followed Maqi to stand down the hillside. They ran faster and faster, gradually catching up with Batu and surrounded Batu.
"Prince, we're here." March rushed to Batu and shouted excitedly.
At this moment, Batu felt a familiar emotion surging in his blood. Before that, he could only watch his brother Aliusu enviously surrounded by countless warriors and charged in battle. He never thought that he would have this day. Now, these Yuezhi warriors who refused to bow to their strong enemies gathered spontaneously by his side, willing to follow him, which made him feel the glory of the strong for the first time.
"Kill" Batu raised his sword and accelerated again.
"Kill" March followed closely.
"Kill" hundreds of Yuezhi knights waved their swords, roared in unison, and chased the dead and chased the north.
Liang Xiao slowed down and ran back and forth on the battlefield, like a lion patrolling his territory. Countless cavalrymen knelt on the ground and dared not look up.
On the distant hillside, the tribal leaders watching the battle looked unashamed. They walked down the hillside in groups of three or three to Liang Xiao, bowed and expressed their surrender to Liang Xiao and the great Han Dynasty.
Liang Xiao thrust his chest, Xu Le thrust his chest, and all the Han soldiers straightened their chests, calmly accepting the awe-inspiring look of these tribal leaders.
"I want to write to the emperor to ask for merit for the lord and the soldiers." Xu Le said.—
