Chapter 1184: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Seventy-Four)

readx;

Li Mingjun’s troops filled up Xiazigou. This stretch of less than ten miles was completely filled with hundreds of carts loaded with supplies, four to five thousand soldiers, and even more civilians. When Guo Fu’s front troops were attacked by Guli’s Xiongnu cavalry division, Li Mingjun’s rear troops had just entered Xiazigou. His full attention was on Zhou Zilong’s troops, which were advancing faster and faster and were approaching his rear troops. [800]

Xiazigou was a river of blood. The fierce cavalry charged, and Guo Fu’s soldiers had no courage to resist. When Guo Fu’s attempt to use the civilians to form a human wall to organize his troops into battle formations failed, the more than 2,000 Western Zhao troops fell into complete chaos.

{Pig + Pig + Island}novel www.hzua; Both the civilians and the soldiers were running towards the river surface on one side, which looked very flat, and the cavalry did not pay attention to the people running there, but just charged forward vigorously.

In less than an incense stick of time, Guo Fu's front team was completely defeated by the Xiongnu cavalry, and the captured civilians were finally no longer willing to be a silent lamb. They picked up the swords and guns discarded by the Western Zhao army on the ground and bravely began to fight back.

These Western Zhao troops were overjoyed and sad. In a blink of an eye, they were completely stunned. Groups of them threw away their weapons, squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads, and some simply crawled on the ground with all fours, shouting loudly to surrender.

"Doji, send out 200 people to tie up these cowards and guard them, and then organize these civilians to treat the wounded and protect them and retreat to the outside of Xiazigou."

"Understood, division commander!" Doji said loudly.

Carts were overturned as they passed by. The Xiongnu Cavalry Division did not care about the damage to the supplies. They rushed forward and rushed to their main target, Li Mingjun's cavalry.

Li Mingjun looked at the Xiongnu cavalry that appeared in his field of vision in a daze. Looking at the yellow dragon flag fluttering in the wind, his whole body was stiff. He just came to rob. How did he run into the main cavalry of the Han army? And it was the notorious Xiongnu Cavalry Division? How did they appear behind him? Could it be that they have wings?

"General, what should we do? Zhou Zilong's troops have blocked the ditch entrance. We have no way to retreat. Should we go forward to fight the enemy cavalry or retreat to attack Zhou Zilong's troops?" Seeing that Li Mingjun seemed to be stupid, a cavalry general beside him asked anxiously.

The deafening shouting and killing finally brought Li Mingjun back to his senses. There is no way out if you turn back. You can't kill Zhou Zilong's infantry in a hurry. As long as there is a stalemate, the Xiongnu cavalry will come up and you will have to fight on two fronts.

"Forward.

Forward, kill through the Xiongnu cavalry, break through, break through!" He roared madly, slapped his warhorse, waved his sword, and rushed forward with a howl.

It takes time for Zhou Zilong's infantry behind him to catch up and attack him. If he can use this short time difference to break out of the siege, it will be a victory at this moment. Li Mingjun no longer thinks about the loss of winter supplies and troops. He must break out and must not fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Throw away everything on the horse's back if you still want to live." The cavalry leader next to Li Mingjun was still sober. Looking at the soldiers who started to charge, he was reluctant to throw away the miscellaneous things on the horse's back. He roared anxiously. In the blink of an eye, Li Mingjun and his personal soldiers had rushed out dozens of meters away.

"Kill them, or we will all die here!" the cavalry commander roared. He chased after Li Mingjun.

The Xiongnu cavalrymen picked up the crossbows hanging on the saddles and aimed at the oncoming Western Zhao cavalry.

"Don't hurt Li Mingjun, he must live." Guli shouted loudly, tapping the horse's belly with the spurs on her toes. The horse suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.

The sound of the crossbows was heard, and the guards around Li Mingjun fell one after another. They could not afford such expensive crossbows.

After a round of crossbows, the two sides were within dozens of steps. The Xiongnu cavalry threw away the crossbows in their hands without hesitation and drew out their scimitars.

In previous cavalry battles, many cavalrymen were reluctant to throw away the expensive crossbows in their hands, which delayed time and lost their lives in vain. After paying the price of blood, the soldiers finally understood that if they won the battle, they could get back what they threw away, but if they lost their lives, they would have nothing.

The two sides collided with each other. On the narrow battlefield, the Xiongnu cavalry's superior horse control skills and horse fighting skills were fully utilized. They could control the war horses to turn and move flexibly in a very small space. The number of people fighting on both sides was about the same, but from the scene, it seemed that countless Xiongnu cavalry surrounded the Western Zhao cavalry and fought.

Guli stared at Li Mingjun, this was the enemy general that Commander Xu Yuan named to capture alive. This man was one of the two generals of Western Zhao who was as famous as Zhao Xilie. He was stationed in Shanggu. If he could be captured, Western Zhao would not only collapse half of its territory.

The two sides fought for a short time, but Li Mingjun was already desperate. In front and behind him, he saw his soldiers screaming and being chopped down by knives. What caught his eyes were the cold eyes of the Xiongnu cavalry. All he could see was the other side's exposed eyes.

Guli rushed straight towards him. He was just trying to find this world-famous female general to fight the last battle of his life. He knew very well that he had reached the end of his life. With the two thousand cavalrymen under his command, he could never be the opponent of the same number of Xiongnu soldiers. He had previously held the hope of breaking through, but reality shattered his hope and there was no possibility of breaking through.

If he could drag this famous female general of the Han Kingdom to death in the last battle of his life, it would be a small victory.

The two met head-on, and the big sword in their hands slashed down from the air with the sound of wind. Guli was a female general. No matter how good her horsemanship and fighting skills were, her strength was always inferior to that of men. Li Mingjun wanted to win by force.

The warhorse twisted in a very small space, seemingly with a very small amplitude, but it just avoided the knife that came with the sound of wind. The two approached quickly, and Guli's curved knife slashed towards Li Mingjun's waist. This was a very clever way to deal with it. Li Mingjun's only way to deal with it was to immediately ride forward and avoid this fatal knife, otherwise his stomach would be broken and his intestines would flow out. But to Guli's surprise, Li Mingjun actually did the opposite. The warhorse stopped suddenly, and the knife that was slashed down suddenly swept across from below. Duoji, who was far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaimed. Guli's knife could certainly kill Li Mingjun, but Li Mingjun's knife would undoubtedly also smash Guli's head.

At the critical moment, Guli fell backwards, her back pressed tightly against the saddle. The broadsword swept across her face with the sound of wind, taking away his devil mask. A ray of cool breeze blew on Guli's face. The warhorse swept past the opponent, turned lightly, and turned back. Guli straightened up and stared at the opponent. Li Mingjun didn't want to live. This was Guli's idea. He wanted to lose both sides.

Li Mingjun, who passed Guli, did not continue to charge forward, because he could see the Huns' battle robes everywhere, and he could hardly see his own troops.

He turned his horse and continued to rush towards Guli.

Guli frowned, and a circle of warhorses rushed to the river on one side. Li Mingjun also rode his horse closely to catch up.

Although this section of the river is wide, there are not many people, because both sides of the war know that people may be fine if they stand on it, but if the galloping warhorse steps on it, it is likely that the ice will break and people will fall into the river.

The two rushed onto the ice in a blink of an eye. There was a wider space here, and the fight between the two seemed even more dangerous. Li Mingjun was tall, long-armed and strong, while Guli was light, agile and agile. Under Li Mingjun's heavy slashes, Guli fluttered in the light of the sword like a butterfly wearing flowers.

Doji's face was tense, and he urged his warhorse to slowly press forward. Behind him, a dozen of Guli's personal soldiers also followed nervously. Just as a dozen of them walked forward for dozens of steps, the ice under the horses' hooves immediately made a crisp explosion sound.

"Back off, back off." Doji shouted loudly.

A dozen personal soldiers reluctantly backed off slowly, and Doji also turned over and dismounted, grabbed a noose from the saddle, and carefully approached step by step.

"Doji!" Guli suddenly shouted loudly in the middle of the river. During this period of fighting, she seemed passive, but she was always circling around Li Mingjun. As the warhorse galloped in circles, the crisp cracking sound of the ice surface became more and more obvious, and a conspicuous circular crack appeared on the road where the warhorse ran.

Hearing Guli's shout, Duoji suddenly quickened his pace, running forward while waving the rope loop in his hand.

With a loud bang, a section of ice over ten feet thick sank where the two men were fighting. Li Mingjun, who was in the middle of the ice, sank with his horse. The moment the ice sank, Guli had already jumped onto the horse's back and stepped hard on the saddle. She had already jumped high and flew directly above Li Mingjun. She reached out with one hand and tightly grasped the hair of Li Mingjun, who had already sunk most of his body into the water. As soon as she grasped it, Guli was also dragged down by the heavy body of the other party and fell into the ice cave. Duoji, who was running wildly, threw out his rope loop with a whoosh and accurately put it on Guli's body. With a roar, he was also brought down, and the whole person slid forward on the ice. Duoji didn't care about these, and held the rope tightly with both hands. Suddenly, his feet tightened, and a personal soldier behind him lay on the ground and tightly grasped Duoji's feet. Going back, one personal soldier after another lay on the ice, and the last one tightly grasped the ankle of the person in front.

"Drag, drag back!" Doji yelled. At this time, he could only see Guli's head sticking out of the ice cave, and Li Mingjun had long disappeared. (To be continued.)
