Chapter 21 Fight for your life

At this time, the sky has been clear, and the red sun has already dispersed the dark clouds and hung high in the sky. The blue waves are clean and spotless, and the weather is surprisingly good.

The speed of the flood finally eased, like a child who lost his temper, lying quietly in the arms of the earth and breathing gently. The scale armored sailors finally poured out. They were free in the water like white strips in the waves and the dragons returned to the sea. Even if the water is as deep as a mountain and the waves are as rapid as turbulence, it is still like a dragon turning over the river, walking leisurely in its own nest.

Since the establishment left Jingzhou, this one finally has a chance to show its feet.

In addition to the special water thorn on the hand, the equipment of the scale armor sailor is the smooth fish tail coat on his body. This dress is very elastic, almost close to the body, as thin as a piece of paper, and hardly worn on the body. These clothes are all made of good dolphin skins. Collecting these skins alone also cost He Chen a lot of money and manpower. In addition to the mobile drift effect in the water, the protection energy is almost zero.

The whole Dingxiang has become the country of Shuize, and its eyes are full of white water waves. Countless wooden huts collapsed as soon as they were washed away. Only those houses with solid wood deep into the ground as beams were stronger. They escaped the fate of dismemberment and exposed most of the tile eaves. Occasionally, you can see a few fresh and humble people standing alone on it, full of despair. There are many drifts in the water, wooden boxes, driftwood, branches, and even From time to time, several bubbling heads can be seen floating and sinking. After a while, I could see a few balls of blood floating up from below, and soon faded down with the flood, as if they had never appeared.

If the Xianbei warrior is a little unlucky, he will be directly washed away by the flood. If he is a little lucky, he will catch a wooden float and feel the thrill of drifting in the water for free. When their desire to survive had just risen, they were pressed down fiercely by the scale armor sailors. Poor dry ducks, no matter how brave they are on the grassland or on land, when they fall into the water, they are a fat pig to be slaughtered. No matter how loud you screams and kick them, you can't escape being drowned and stabbed in the end.

A thousand sailors, just like a thousand monsters in the water, keep harvesting Xianbei's life.

He Chen led the remaining hundreds of divine sword soldiers and silently looked at the whiteness at the bottom of the mountain halfway up the mountain. Although the Xianbei cavalry was flooded badly this time, the whole Dingxiang City was almost finished. In less than three or five years, I'm afraid I can't recover my vitality, and there are 10,000 hectares of mu around. I'm afraid there will be no harvest this year. The work of dealing with the aftermath is extremely serious. At least forty or 50,000 people have to rely on the government to help them.

"Journ, there is a fish that has leaked the net running to the mountainside here." At this time, Zhang Xiu behind him suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted.

He Chen squinted and looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Xiu.

Because of the excellent position now, the sight is clear at a glance. Sure enough, at the foot of the mountain, there are hundreds of Xianbei soldiers who abandoned the bodies that were submerged at the foot of the mountain and were still bleeding. They were struggling to climb up half of their waists.

"Zhang Xiu, lead some brothers to solve them." There was no emotion in He Chen's voice.

"Hey hey, the lord, don't worry, this rare humble people are on the horse, and the brothers can also kill them and discard their armor. What's more, it's a step-by-step battle. There are no war horses. They have at least half of their combat effectiveness." Zhang Xiu licked his tongue excitedly and said arrogantly.

"Don't be careless. If you get on the horse, you are an elite cavalry. If you get off the horse, you are also a brave warrior. Don't capsized in the gutter." He Chen stared at Zhang Xiu with some dissatisfaction and warned.

"I see." Although Zhang Xiu replied to He Chen respectfully, in fact, he was a little disapproving. He felt that Zhou Mu was a little fuss and too cautious, but Zhang Xiu did not dare to be careless, otherwise something really went wrong and his head would wait to move.

Zhang Xiu left with the sharpshooters and began to clear the remaining Xianbei soldiers all over the mountain, and carried out a big sweep like the devils entering the village.

He Chen led six hundred sword soldiers down the mountain from the other side of the mountain, ready to clean up the mess.

Three days passed, and the flood had almost completely receded. The whole Dingxiang was almost razed to the ground. If it hadn't been devastated and messy, it would almost make people suspect that it was once a county with a population of 30,000 to 40,000. The death toll of the enemy in this battle cannot be counted for the time being, but it is estimated that after this battle, the Xianbei cavalry can't make too many waves in the hinterland of Bingzhou. He Chen asked Deng Long to lead 5,000 soldiers to help with the post-disaster reconstruction task. At the same time, he also asked Huchuquan to lead the remaining cavalry to sweep the fresh and humble remnants in Yanmen County and Xinxing County. He must take advantage of his illness to kill him.

After staying in Pingshun City for two days, He Chen led the sword soldiers and other remnants to return to Taiyuan.

After a few days, I saw that it was only a hundred miles away from Taiyuan. As soon as I walked, there were suddenly waves of trembling on the earth. The needles were windless, and a dull and suppressed voice sounded in my heart.

"Fresh cavalry." Almost in an instant, this terrible idea came to He Chen's mind.

"The archer hides in the woods to prepare, and the sword soldiers set up a shield." There was little time to think about how the Xianbei cavalry would appear here. He Chen almost shouted with all his strength. The timing of the Xianbei cavalry to launch a charge is extremely favorable. The place is open on three sides, with only a small forest on one side, almost no danger to defend. If you turn around and run away at this time, you can say rudely that the whole army must have been destroyed. The only hope of living is to borrow the shield array of the sword soldiers and the assault of the sharpshooters, so that you can delay the time and let Taiyuan side raise troops to support.

The heavy sound of "Ban Bang" sounded almost at the same time, and all the sword soldiers inserted the big shield into the earth.

The 3,000 soldiers sent by Xu Huang to protect He Chen first panicked, and then under the command of Ma Yu, they all hid in the dense forest. He Chen never thought that Xianbei's surname life would be as tenacious as a dog. In this huge flood, batches of lucky people could survive.

The sound of "Daradala" quickly became clear, and the frequency of the vibration became larger and larger.

He Chen's heart kept sinking. Listening to the dense hoofs, the number of cavalry regiments was extremely large.

Finally, black spots appeared on the distant hills, one or two, more and more, and in the end, the head could hardly be seen. There is a large area of black pressure. If there is a dark cloud floating in the distance, it will crush the city. Although He Chen's face remained unchanged, his teeth clenched tightly, and his hands turned pale because of clenching, and gradually began to sweat. According to what we have seen so far, it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry. Why are there so many cavalry? Is it just one of the troops who broke the embankment and drowned? There are still some hidden parts that have not entered Dingxiang?

He Chen's guess was not wrong. Zuogu Wang Saiyuren was cautious all his life. In addition, He Chen's plan to lure the enemy was too obvious, and the preparation time was a little short, which made him doubtful. He did not release all the cavalry in his hand completely, but left 10,000 cavalry to watch behind. The situation is ready to respond at any time. Since his debut, He Chen has won a hundred battles, and his confidence has finally become a little sluggish. Now he has been chased by the cavalry, which almost looks like a dead end.

Soon, the wind and lightning cavalry, without half a column of incense time, was clearly visible in front of them. The overwhelming momentum of the mountains and horses, the incorruptible charge, almost made the 3,000 soldiers hidden in the dense forest cold from head to toe.

These Xianbei cavalry are no longer as glorious and high-spirited as when they first entered the country. All the soldiers were more or less covered with soil and grass crumbs. Some felt hats were thrown somewhere, some leather armors were torn, and some small boots disappeared. The whole thing was embarrassed, just like the defeated soldiers who fled from the battle. Although it looks sloppy, without exception, all the Xianbei warriors' eyes are beating with crazy flames, burning with hatred and anger. After seeing the Han soldiers, he pulled out the machete almost at the same time. He was so murderous that he couldn't wait to rush up and give all these enemies to eight pieces.

"Rap arrows." Ma Yu's hands were full of sweat. He was already aware of the danger of this battle. Seeing that a wave of cavalry had begun to lie on the horse's back and enter the range, he shouted without hesitation.

A wave of arrows, like locusts flying out of the dense forest, and the cavalry rushing in the front row fell down from the horse in the dense rain of arrows. But the cavalry behind them almost stopped. Using their skilled equestrian skills, they stepped over their sacrificed companions and still rushed up fearlessly.

Another wave of arrow rain also became a huge killing.

When the soldiers prepared the third wave of arrows, many Xianbei cavalry rushed into the dense forest and began to kill crazily.

Only then did He Chen find that he had made a stupid mistake. There was no cover of a heavy shield and no favorable terrain. The three thousand archers were almost undressed flower girls. In the face of a pervert like a wolf, she had no backhand power.

The magic sword soldier once again stood the shield in the soft soil, pulled out the enhanced version of the ring knife, borrowed the width of the shield, and firmly guarded it on the first line, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to withstand the enemy's overwhelming charge.

"Touch" a burst of soldiers panicked. Xiao was a magic sword soldier to launch a stunt "thick earth shield", but because the base was too small, the number of enemy cavalry was too large. It was almost just a face-to-face kung fu, and the shield array was about to collapse. All the divine sword soldiers had been shaken off the ground. At the first time, the ring sword soldiers were pulled out, and the speed had slowed down. The cavalry launched an attack.

He Chen, who was behind, was tightly surrounded by the four generals of Dian Wei, Yan Ming, Ji Ling and Zhang Xiu. The sharpshooters had begun to line up and charge, with only a few hundred people, almost creating the momentum of the whole army to charge.

"Heart Sword." He Chen almost began to release the general's skills in the short hand-to-hand combat. If he didn't work hard, he was afraid that he would die and have no place to be buried.
