Chapter 179 The Battle Begins

Chapter 179 The Battle Begins

Ye Yong hadn't killed someone so heartily for a long time.

I saw him sitting on a horse wielding a saber, chopping down the enemies in front of him one by one.

But at this time the Xianbei cavalry was very resolute in withdrawing their troops. They knew very well that if these cavalry died here, their loss would be too great.

"dash forward!"

Yue Fei yelled, slapped his horse's back with his spear and rushed forward.

At this time, a strange phenomenon appeared on the small plain.

The vanguard of the Xianbei cavalry charge turned into a rear guard, covering the retreat of the army.

Yue Fei's cavalry pursued and killed them like wolves and sheep.

The Xianbei cavalry didn't know how many cavalrymen died, they just kept patting their horses and retreating.

After a while, Yue Fei killed all the troops who hadn't had time to escape in front of him, and saw that the Xianbei cavalry had led people to evacuate here and assembled on the mountain.

At this time, the first team came over from the right wing, looked at Yue Fei covered in blood, marveled at Yue Fei's bravery, and asked.

"General, the enemy army has now retreated to the hillside and is forming an array. Should our army retreat temporarily to avoid the sharp edge?"

Yue Fei shook his head, frowned and said while staring at the Xianbei cavalry and others lined up in front.

"One of Li Jue and the Xianbei people is a hungry wolf, and the other is a mad dog. At this time, we are only facing the cavalry of the Xianbei team. There are other troops that I have never seen, that is, the main force of Li Jue and the Xianbei people is still alive. At this time when our army is retreating, he will definitely continue to send out small troops to harass, but the main force can wait for the opportunity to annihilate our army."

At this time, Li Jue and the Xianbei people also faced a choice. Whether to attack or retreat was a life-and-death decision.

Once they retreat, the soldiers may lose confidence, and there will be no possibility of fighting Yue Fei from now on.

But when Yue Fei attacked, they couldn't resist the explosives...

"How much was lost?"

Li Jue and the leader of the Xianbei people asked the scouts who came to report the battle situation in unison.

"More than 1000 people are missing. Hundreds more are injured."

The Xianbei leader closed his eyes in pain when he heard this.

These more than 1 cavalry are an important bargaining chip for the Xianbei to plunder the Central Plains, and it can be said that they are the old base of the Xianbei.

Just when the Xianbei leader was immersed in the pain of losing his cavalry, Li Jue spoke.

"Khan, since this is the case, why not retreat."

The Xianbei leader opened his eyes and glared at Li Jue when he heard Li Jue's words.

"You Han people are really afraid of death. Now that Yue Fei just repelled a small wave of shocks. Our Xianbei attack has just begun."

"How dare you insult my lord, can you enter Anding without my lord?"

The generals around Li Jue couldn't stand it any longer, stepped forward and shouted angrily.

"Am I wrong? General Li, let me tell you this. We Xianbei people can return to the grassland after retreating. What about you, General Li? If you retreat, where can you go?"

The words of the Xianbei leader hit Li Jue's vital point directly, yes, where can he go if Li Jue retreats?Back to Xiliang, Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui's swords are waiting for him.

As for surrendering Ye Xiao, Li Jue never thought about it, but Li Jue said with a sigh.

"Khan said yes, since that's the case, listen to Khan."

In the end, Li Jue compromised and decided to fight the Xianbei people to the end, and the leader of the Xianbei people began to deploy defenses.

"There are so many mountains here, as long as we can persist until dark, then we can take advantage of the darkness to attack Yue Fei's army. Even if we can't beat them, we can retreat in the dark."

"Night battle?"

Li Jue didn't expect that the Xianbei leader would actually want to fight at night. You must know that in ancient times when lighting technology was underdeveloped, night fighting was quite taboo.

After all, once fighting in the dark, it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

"Yes, it's night battles. We Xianbei people are best at night battles. Is General Li afraid?"

Seeing the confidence of the Xianbei leader, Li Jue was silent for a while and said.

"Okay, since Da Khan is so confident that if Li retreats, it's not because he's losing face."

The Xianbei leader then asked the herald to give orders to the Xianbei cavalry, only to see that the Xianbei cavalry spread their wings and began to defend.

Yue Fei saw that Li Jue and the Xianbei people did not retreat but spread their wings, and immediately dispatched troops to attack Li Jue and the Xianbei people.

"The first team continues to the right. In addition to attacking the enemy, the first team will transport the catapult to the distant plain. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The squad leader of the first squad replied in a loud voice.

"The second team is on the left. You wait until the first team has transported the catapult before attacking. You must make sure that the left and right attack together, understand?"

"Understood!"

The second team leader replied with a louder voice than the first team leader.

"Okay, the third team will follow me."

After Yue Fei finished his explanation, he stared at Li Jue and the Xianbei's central army.

As long as Li Jue dared to rescue the Xianbei cavalry on both sides.

Then he will directly raise his troops to rush forward and capture Li Jue alive.

"Kill! Kill!"

The offensive on the right started first, and the [-] cavalry led by the first team leader and the [-] Xianbei cavalry were strangled together, and the cavalry on both sides fought in the dark.

In the sound of killing on the right, the soldiers of both sides fell one by one.

Facing the charge of the first team, the Xianbei people resisted time and time again. After several rounds of attacks, the first team did not take any advantage, and even suffered more damage than the Xianbei people.

At this time, the shield soldiers covered ten catapults and came over.

"Shoot the arrow! Destroy the catapult!"

Seeing the catapult being pushed over, the Xianbei people once again remembered the fear of being dominated by the catapult.

The Xianbei leader stood on the high slope and yelled at his soldiers in fear.

At this time, the catapult was already filled with arrows, but fortunately, the soldiers operating the catapult were not injured or injured.

The catapult also entered the range, and the soldiers operating the catapult began to adjust the angle of the catapult under the cover of the shield soldiers.

"put!"

After adjusting, the catapult dropped ten bombs without any hesitation.

The bomb made of the jar flew over the Xianbei people's heads, and slowly landed behind the Xianbei people.

"what!"

In an instant, the Xianbei people were blown out of a hole in the rear, but soon the Xianbei people discovered the shortcomings of the catapult.

Although the catapult is powerful, its reload speed is too slow.

The Xianbei people, who had been bombed several times, took advantage of the time when the catapult was exchanged for bombs and rushed over.

Seeing that he was about to approach the catapult, Yue Fei said to Ye Yong beside him.

"Ye Yong, you command the third team instead of me."

"Come 1000 men to stop those who want to destroy the catapult."

After Yue Fei finished speaking, 1000 people appeared behind Yue Fei.

"Okay! Brothers, come with me!"

Yue Fei patted the horse, and the horse under his crotch galloped out.
