The rest in Chonggao County was not peaceful, especially at night. Small groups of Hu appeared constantly, and Liu Biao was on guard. Once he discovered a small group of Hu soldiers, he would send cavalry to surround and kill them, leaving no one alive!
It was also because there was a time when the commotion was a little big, and one of them even slipped away, so Liu Biao didn't dare to stay any longer. He continued to tie me up in his arms and rode on his horse to continue galloping in the direction of Luoyang.
Liu Biao was very anxious. Ming Yue's condition seemed to have worsened, but he couldn't be anxious at this time. Because the closer he was to Luoyang, the more Xiongnu soldiers there would be. He had to be very careful. He couldn't let his previous efforts go to waste because of a mistake.
On the way, Liu Biao and his cavalries saw the defeated troops of Jin Country more than once. They wanted to help the Hu soldiers to kill them for a few times; however, they gave up because of the increasing number of Hu soldiers. After a short battle, the troops of Jin Country would throw away their helmets and armors and run away. They didn't have any fighting spirit at all. Therefore, Liu Biao could only stop paying attention to the battlefield or relying on any troops of Jin Country. Even if he stayed behind, it was just like putting out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water...
The only thing he needed to do now was to escort Ming Yue to Luoyang to seek treatment from the imperial physician. Now was not the time to be reckless. His small army might be able to charge a few times, but it was only this much energy. There were too few people, but sometimes when they encountered small Hu soldiers, the knife in Liu Biao's hand would not be soft.
Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the Jin army and the Hu soldiers, Liu Biao quickly left the battlefield. Even if the Hu soldiers saw him, they couldn't stop him in time. If he met a small group of Hu soldiers, Liu Biao would use the remaining 120-odd cavalrymen to surround and kill them and rob their warhorses. The reason for the loss of the troops was that they had to march for a long time, some warhorses couldn't keep up with them, and some were lost in battle. Therefore, warhorses were in short supply.
Liu Biao gnashed his teeth so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. The Hu soldiers who had committed adultery were endless, and the Jin army was so vulnerable. Therefore, Liu Biao could only open a bloody path for some of the defeated Jin army without delaying the journey. He felt that he was not letting down his comrades. Ming Yue's illness could not be delayed. Otherwise, with his temper, he would have long turned around and organized the scattered soldiers to fight to the death with these sons of bitches. Liu Biao was not afraid of death, but now he had to go to Luoyang as soon as possible to find a doctor to treat Ming Yue.
Although Liu Biao knew that he couldn't help the Jin soldiers who were surrounded and killed by the Hu soldiers, there were times when these damn Hu soldiers were right in front of him. Even if Liu Biao could hold it in, his brothers would also be unable to hold it in. Along the way, they kept killing and losing people. By the time they reached Yanshi, there were less than 60 cavalry left. They were acting on impulse! Liu Biao blamed himself in his heart. Everyone was his brother who had gone through life and death with him. Although he had repeatedly warned him not to act on impulse, how could every brave man endure it?？？!!!
After that, Liu Biao encountered more and more defeated soldiers of the Jin Kingdom. It seemed that they had all escaped from the north. Liu Biao was very puzzled. Did the Han Kingdom think that sending Wang Mi, Liu Yao, and Schleswig was not exciting enough and sent other generals to besiege Luoyang? Ai, was it right for me to go to Luoyang this time? Luoyang is the capital city, so it should be able to resist. Ai, if only the Prime Minister was still alive!
Even with such an indignant and anxious mentality, Liu Biao's troops were still losing their numbers on the way. Finally, they encountered a relatively large-scale army of Jin in an unknown place. Liu Biao didn't know the leader of the army. However, as they were getting closer and closer to Luoyang, Liu Biao didn't have any worries. However, if they rushed over immediately, they might encounter an accident because they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe...
The general was called Tian Cheng, and he had more than 5000 spearmen under him. They were the type of soldiers that could restrain the Hu cavalry. He had also noticed Liu Biao's group. It seemed to be a small group of 50 cavalry. Although they did not look like Hu people, who would come to Luoyang at this time?
Liu Biao sent a cavalryman to report. It wasn't that he didn't dare to go, but he had Ming Yue with him. If anything happened, Ming Yue would be in danger.
After Tian Cheng heard the purpose of this cavalryman's visit, he knew that he was the leader of the former Prime Minister Sima Yue's personal guards. The doubts in his heart were slightly reduced. He had more or less heard the news of Sima Yue's death from other high-level officials. Moreover, he heard that the Emperor was very happy about Sima Yue's death and demoted the Prime Minister Sima Yue's throne to the county level. He also appointed Xun Xi as the commander of the world's military forces.
Therefore, Tian Cheng was indeed a little puzzled. How could it be a messenger sent by Prime Minister Sima Yue? However, he was still very excited in his heart. He had never encountered such a situation before. This time, he had actually encountered it. Could it be that Luoyang was saved? However, there were only a few people…Sigh, perhaps they were really just here to report some news.
Thinking of this, Tian Cheng signaled Liu Biao to lean over.
The reason why Liu Biao didn't say that Princess Ming Yue had arrived was because the army was in chaos. No one could say for sure if these soldiers would have other thoughts when they saw Ming Yue. After all, if they offered Ming Yue to the Hu, they would definitely be promoted and rich.
Liu Biao couldn't help but be vigilant. After all, there was a woman and a little girl beside him. This girl was his only hope now and in the future...
After Liu Biao and Tian Cheng met up, dust started to fly in the distance. It looked like it was very large…
The army in front of Liu Biao was Huyan Yan's army…
Huyan Yan was very proud of himself. Ever since Liu Cong, the Emperor of Han, sent him to attack Luoyang, he had killed his way to Henan. He had not encountered any decent enemies at all. He had killed countless soldiers of the Jin Kingdom. These soldiers of the Jin Kingdom would almost be scared out of their wits at the sight of his flag. Hehe, no wonder Wang Mi and Schleswig wanted to attack the Jin Kingdom. They were all meat. They could not withstand a beating, but they could also rob money and women. I was really blinded. Why didn't I want to come out and seek help in the past?？Regret!
Just as Huyan Yan was complaining about how useless he had been in the past, the scouts he had sent out returned.
"Report! Great General, we have discovered the Spear Troop of Jin ahead!”The scout horse panted as he reported.
Huyan Yan was stunned for a moment. There was actually someone who didn't run away after seeing my flag? Interesting. Hmm, the Spear Squad? It's a bit hard to deal with, but who asked me to be Huyan Yan? Haha!
Huyan Yan called over the five thousand cavalry commanders and gave the order to shoot with bows and arrows.
Tian Cheng broke out in cold sweat. How could they fight? There were nearly 30,000 Hu soldiers, including 20,000 cavalry. How could they fight?
Tian Cheng looked at Liu Biao nervously. He was no longer in the mood to ask why this person had come to Luoyang. Now, he was facing an army of 30,000 Xiongnu!
Liu Biao also felt a headache coming on. Even if he wanted to run, he couldn't. His and his brothers 'warhorses were already exhausted and couldn't escape the Hu's pursuit. It seemed that he could only delay them for now…
Liu Biao looked at Red Aunt and Ming Yue in his arms and secretly made up his mind.
Tian Cheng also saw the little girl in Liu Biao's arms. Her face was pale and weak. Although she looked very beautiful, her tightly closed eyes showed that she was suffering from illness and torture. It seemed that her fever had not subsided. Coupled with the fact that she had been running all the way, her body was covered in dust and she could not be seen. Tian Cheng did not look at her anymore and thought that she was just a mother and daughter that Liu Biao picked up on the road. Well, this mother was quite beautiful. Tian Cheng shook his head when he thought of this. He was about to lose his life, so what was the point of thinking about that! The most important thing now was how to deal with the Huns!
Liu Biao looked at Tian Cheng's anxious look. Although he was a guest general, he was still Sima Yue's man, so Tian Cheng was still asking for his opinion. Liu Biao knew that it was impossible to run now. Once they scattered, they would all be wiped out. Therefore, he could only rely on these 5000 spearmen to stall for time. Perhaps they still had a chance of survival. No matter what, they could buy time for Ming Yue...
Liu Biao gritted his teeth and said resolutely,"Li Xiang, take this little girl and this woman to Luoyang!"”
This young man called Li Xiang was from Bingzhou. He had followed Ming Yue and Liu Biao all the way and had experienced life and death situations. He was the most reliable person.
Li Xiang didn't say anything more. He took a step forward and took the bright moon from Liu Biao's hand. He also tied the bright moon in his arms like Liu Biao and nodded solemnly to Liu Biao. Liu Biao also approached Li Xiang and said a few words to him.
Li Xiang memorized all of them and got on his horse. Liu Biao carried Aunt Hong and placed her on Li Xiang's back. The three of them and the horse quickly left the battlefield and sped toward Luoyang.
Looking at Li Xiang's disappearing figure, Liu Biao already had the will to die. He had to stall these Hu soldiers for a day!
Tian Cheng did not stop Liu Biao when he saw his actions. He knew that his duty was to guard Luoyang. Now, this man only sent away two women and children, but he stayed behind. Good! He was a good man!
Tian Cheng said," General Liu, what do you think we should do? This is a plain. There is no barrier at all. As long as the enemy charges from both sides, we won't be able to hold on for long…"
Liu Biao was also thinking. After a while, he said,"As long as they don't shoot at us, I think we can form a fish-scale formation.(It's like a circle. No matter which side you attack, as long as you keep circling to replenish the lost soldiers, it will be extremely difficult to break through. It can be said to be the number one defensive formation.)
Liu Biao continued," We will resist while slowly retreating towards Luoyang. I think the closer we get to Luoyang, the more Jin troops we will have. We should be able to wait for our allies to come and support us.
Tian Cheng felt that Liu Biao was right and agreed to his battle plan.
Just as they were setting up the Fish Scale Formation, they suddenly realized that the Hu cavalry were getting closer and closer.
"Hold your spears and lower your center of gravity. The outermost team will stab the horse's legs when you see it. Those inside, stab the people. If the other party wants to enter the inner formation, raise your spears and let them taste the power of our Great Jin's spearmen!”Tian Cheng shouted loudly.
Liu Biao and the remaining fifty cavalry had already dismounted and drawn their sabers. They hid in various corners of the fish-scale formation, ready to deliver a fatal blow if the Hu cavalry fell off their horses.
When Liu Biao released the horses, the Hu cavalry could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
Just as they thought the Hu cavalry was about to charge, they suddenly stopped and began to circle around in an orderly fashion…
When Tian Cheng saw the formation of the Hu, he felt that it was very strange. He had never seen such a formation before…
Liu Biao was shocked. This was a typical formation used by archers to maximize their archery ability, a circular formation! This kind of formation would first form a circle, and then the archers would circle around this circle and move at a constant speed. When they faced the enemy, they would fire their arrows. After firing, they would continue to run around the circle without stopping. As they ran, they would shoot their arrows. This was one of the most terrifying formations of the archers!
And it was not just one circle! It was five circles! Each circle was a team of 1,000 archers!
Rows of arrows flew into the sky like locusts, and their target was naturally their Fish Scale Formation!
Liu Biao's heart was filled with fear. His prediction was completely wrong. He thought that it was just a cavalry charge. He did not expect it to be the most terrifying archer cavalry shooting! On the battlefield, one had to rely on prediction to fight. Now that his prediction was completely wrong, Liu Biao did not dare to think about the outcome that he was about to face. Tian Cheng's face also turned extremely pale. The soldiers did not have much confidence in themselves. When they saw such a formation and a black mass of arrows shooting at them, they would not be able to defend against it even if they had shields, let alone a thin wooden pole in their hands...
The soldiers were starving to begin with, so how could they have any fighting spirit? Luoyang had been out of food for a long time, and the commoners had nothing to eat, not to mention soldiers like them. The reason why they didn't resist when they were captured was because they thought they could have food to eat and survive. Now, they wanted them to die? Pull it!
It was unknown who was the first to throw away the spear and run away. There was the first, the second, and the third. All of them ran away at once. Tian Cheng himself also ran away. Was he going to stay and wait for death? Liu Biao also fled.
Arrows and arrows were constantly being shot down. The archer cavalry formation was not only convenient for attacking, but it could also slowly move forward. It was truly one of the most terrifying formations on the battlefield.
People kept falling, and arrows kept falling. They didn't stop chasing after the defeated Jin army. The one-sided tragedy on the battlefield only accelerated the tragic fate of the Jin army...
Liu Biao jumped over a dead body and kept changing his escape route. However, he still accidentally stepped on something, which made him slow down for a moment. At this moment, Liu Biao suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain on his back. His vision went dark as he groaned and fell down powerlessly...
