Three Kingdoms Eschatology

The fire started at more and more places, and the fire became more and more intense, and finally, the entire wide bottom of the ravine became a brazier.

Thousands of Xianbei war cavalry have long been running around in a panic, and those who are too slow can only die in the flames.The longbowmen on the edge of the ditch kept chasing and shooting the Xianbei cavalry who were fleeing at the bottom of the ditch.

Kebi, who was still staying on the ridge, could hear the movement from a distance, and knew that the situation was not good.Just when he was deciding whether to meet the five thousand war cavalry, or to evacuate first by himself.

A "fireball" suddenly shot over from the ridge opposite the ravine, and it landed less than two battles away from his mount. The flames rose into the air, and his mount screamed and neighed in fright, and its front hooves flew into the air. rise.

Ke Bi Neng didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he shouted loudly: "Withdraw! Withdraw the same way!"

Chapter 306

Stone bullets, as well as fireballs that can deflagrate, are shot from the ridge on the opposite side of the ravine from time to time.After falling on the yellow earth, it will either stir up a column of yellow dust or a flame.

At this time, Ke Bineng didn't have the idea of ​​robbing the craftsmen and equipment of the Shizhi Mine anymore. He only thought about how to get out of his body and how to bring back these defeated remnants of Xianbei as much as possible.

Just as Ke Bineng gave the order to retreat, he heard the sound of horses galloping and fighting in the distance.He followed the prestige, and saw dust flying around the isthmus, and people shouting and neighing.

"Oops! The enemy army must have come to block our army's retreat!" Ke Bineng groaned secretly in his heart.

Kebi can guess right.The ridge where he is located is only connected to other ridges by this isthmus.So he deployed a thousand Xianbei warriors at both ends of the isthmus.At this time, these Xianbei warriors were being attacked by Liang Jun.

If the isthmus is blocked by people, if Kebi wants to escape again, he must either go down to the ravine to find a way out, or fly out with wings.

At this time, on the other side of the isthmus, the heavy cavalry of nearly Qianliang Army formed three long snake formations.The closer you are to the front, the tighter the formation,

The cavalry formation in the front is like a copper wall and an iron wall across the ridge.In front of the horse's head, dense cavalry probes exist like a forest.The sun reflected off the iron armor and spear blades brightly.

These three cavalry formations were like combs, and the places they swept were the corpses of Xianbei knights with lances.In the rain of swords and blood, the Xianbei army was quickly squeezed into the isthmus.

Liang Jun's iron cavalry did not stop the attack, and continued to attack with horses.A Xianbei cavalry brandished a saber and slashed head-on at a Liang Jun iron cavalry directly opposite, but was easily swung away by the mace in the opponent's hand.

In a blink of an eye, the two cavalry were close at hand. The mace in Liang Jun's iron cavalry swept out and hit the opponent's head with a bang. The Xianbei cavalry fell under the horse, and the body was immediately smashed to pieces by thousands of iron hooves.

Some Xianbei cavalry had their morale collapsed in the face of these iron tower-like cavalry of the Liang army, and they were so afraid that they dared not fight.On the way to retreat, they panicked and fell down the isthmus and fell into the ravine.

Liang Jun's iron cavalry drove these Xianbei cavalry out of the isthmus to stop the attack.At the same time, Ke Bineng also rushed to the vicinity of the isthmus with the rest of the Xianbei army.

Seeing that the isthmus was occupied, Kebi Neng turned pale with shock, and roared in shock and anger: "At any cost, we must take back the road, otherwise our army will be in danger!"

Upon hearing the order, the Xianbei army reorganized the cavalry formation, intending to defeat the enemy cavalry with a crowd attack and open up the passage through the isthmus.Ke Bineng thought in his mind that the opponent is also a cavalry soldier, so he can only fight against himself, so no matter whether he wins or loses, it is impossible for the opponent to trap him.

Unexpectedly, before the Xianbei cavalry launched a charge, the cavalry of the Liang army retreated like a tide.The surprised Kebi could look around before he knew what was going on.It turned out that there was another Liang army infantry following behind their heavy cavalry, and they had already laid down layers of defense at the other end of the isthmus.

At this moment, Ke Bi Neng felt a chill down his spine, knowing that he was almost in a desperate situation.He gritted his teeth, and ordered word by word: "Pass my military order, the whole army will charge, and those who cherish their lives and fear the battle will be killed on the spot before the battle."

Just as Ke Bineng finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound of the canopy, and felt warmth on his cheeks.When I touched it with my hand, it turned out to be blood.Not far from him, another Xianbei cavalryman was hit by a stone bullet from a ballista, and the stone bullet the size of a sea bowl pierced his chest.Liang Jun on the opposite side of the ravine still did not stop firing ballistas.

As the Xianbei people's charge horn sounded, the remaining Xianbei war cavalry on the ridge plateau rushed towards the isthmus like a tide.At this time, at the rear end of the isthmus, a bamboo folding horse has been erected, and behind it are layers of Liang Jun spear-throwing, spear-throwing, shield soldiers, and longbowmen.

When the Xianbei cavalry poured into the isthmus, those flying spears, javelins, longbows and heavy arrows wave after wave, pouring on the Xianbei cavalry overwhelmingly.The latter fell to the ground layer by layer like fallen crops.Xianbei war cavalry also used bows and crossbows to shoot back, but the opponent was covered by a large shield shield wall, and the effect was also subtle.

Then Liang Jun's infantry threw out the incendiary bottles made of naphtha pottery bottles.Flames suddenly ignited on the isthmus, and many of the horses of the Xianbei cavalry were frightened, ran wildly, and accidentally stumbled and fell into the ravine.

The few Xianbei war cavalry who were lucky enough to rush to Liang Jun's refusal of the horse could not escape the fate of destruction in the end, and the dense spears fell off the horse after being rejected.

Ke Bi Neng looked at the tragic image in front of him in despair, knowing that he would never be able to escape from the isthmus.Now he only has a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he shouted loudly: "You cavalry, follow me, we will withdraw from the bottom of the ditch!"

After that, he said to the two commanding soldiers beside him who had reported the letter before: "You are familiar with the road here, quickly lead our soldiers and horses, and evacuate along the road at the bottom of the ditch!"

On the ridge, the surviving Xianbei cavalry followed Ke Bineng to retreat to the bottom of the ravine. Along the way, they joined up with the remnants who were lucky enough to withdraw from the mine.

At this time, these survivors totaled no more than two thousand riders.They fled towards the other end of the ravine, and there were two captains of archers and a battalion of light cavalry flying feathers on the edge of the ravine, chasing and shooting them non-stop.

From time to time, a small group of infantry emerged from the edge of the ditch and threw Molotov cocktails at the bottom of the ditch, and boulders came to snipe them.Fortunately for Ke Bi Neng, no major Liang army attacked them on the edge of the ditch and cut off the passage at the bottom of the ditch.This made him a little regretful, he should have chosen to break out from the bottom of the ditch at the beginning.

In fact, Ke Bineng's idea is to cut the boat and seek the sword.If he really chose to break out from the bottom of the ditch at the beginning, then he would be wiped out now.The reason why Liang Jun did not send the main force to intercept him in the gully section was precisely because most of the troops were used to encircle and suppress the mine and intercepted the isthmus.

Under Liang Jun's pursuit and sniping all the way, Ke Bi Neng escaped from the loess plateau, and when he came back to the junction of the loess plateau and the grassland, there were only five hundred warriors around him.This means that the [-] Xianbei warriors he brought into the Huangtuyuan were almost wiped out.

Filled with frustration, Ke Bi Neng hammered his head and said in his heart: "It's right to start attacking Zhenbei City. Since Liang Jun has set up heavy troops around the mine, the town of Zhenbei City must be empty. And Liang Jun must have expected it to do so." When I come to fetch the stone resin mine, they will definitely transfer the craftsmen and equipment from the mine to Zhenbei City."

But it's useless for Ke Bineng to regret it now. Even if he ordered Shi Biao, who was attacking in Zhenbei City, to launch an actual attack immediately, it would definitely be too late.By the time the military order arrived, the main force of the Liang army must have returned to the division's town of Beicheng.

Kebi could think of this, so he immediately called for soldiers and asked them to send orders to Shi Biao, telling Shi Biao to hurry up and retreat outside the Great Wall before Liang Jun came back to help.

Ke Bi was able to arrange these, so he rode his horse and fled northward in a hurry with hundreds of remnants.

Chapter 307 Shi Biao

Outside Zhenbei City, there was a dense mass of Xianbei war cavalry.Although it can't be called connecting the sky and the earth, it can be regarded as a huge momentum.The gradually west-slanting sun shone on them, casting layers upon layers of shadows.Shi Biao didn't set up camp either, he just let them stand in formation, and didn't even let them dismount.

Many of those Xianbei warhorses became impatient and turned around in circles.Shi Biao also rode his horse and paced back and forth slowly in front of the formation, but his eyes looked at the situation at the top of Zhenbei City from time to time.

At first, Shi Biao, like Wei Feng on the top of the wall, was troubled and uneasy.He was also afraid that a large group of Liang troops would suddenly rush out of the city and the camp not far away, and fight a decisive battle with them.

Shi Biao had always heard that Liang Jun and Zhang Liao cavalry were powerful.He understood that even though he had [-] war cavalry, it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat the opponent's [-] heavy cavalry and Qingqi Feiyu.

So Xin, this worry has never happened.Although the city head of Zhenbei City was covered with banners and banners, the walls were very quiet.The gates of the city were also closed tightly, and it was impossible to see that the opponent had any intention of going out of the city to fight against him.

This instead made Shi Biao puzzled. Could it be that Liang Jun's main force is not in Zhenbei City at all?If not in Zhenbei City, where would it be?Did you go to the Loess Plateau?When Shi Biao thought of this, he was startled and didn't dare to think about it any more.

Wei Feng at the top of the city also kept an eye on the Xianbei army below the city, more than a thousand reclamation soldiers, and the battalion of heavy soldiers all lying behind the wall at the top of the city wall.

Wei Feng was relieved that the Xianbei army did not attack for a long time. He said in his heart, "General Zhang Liao did his calculations correctly. As expected, the main force of the Xianbei army did not come to town Beicheng, and those who came did not dare to attack."

The two armies remained in a stalemate for most of the day.After Xianbei rode in formation, a cloud of flying dust suddenly rose, and Yiqi galloped towards this side at an unparalleled speed.Before the horse arrived, the people shouted in Hu language: "Urgent military order! One hundred thousand urgent! Emergency military order! One hundred thousand urgent..."

Shi Biao frowned, already feeling that it would not be good news.Sure enough, the Xianbei commandant had come to him, saluted with Hu: "The Great Shanyu has ordered that due to the setback of our army's main force, Shi Biaoshanyu hastily retreated from the Great Wall."

After Shi Biao listened, he did not immediately follow the instructions of the military order.Instead, he asked the soldier in detail.Only then did he know that Ke Bineng was not as simple as being frustrated, but was almost wiped out.

As he expected, Liang Jun did not keep the main force in Zhenbei City, but transferred to the military restricted area where the Liang Guo Shizhi Mine was located.

Shi Biao lowered his eyes, and several thoughts quickly flashed in his mind.Since Liang Jun put the main force on the Loess Plateau, it means that they have learned or expected the purpose of the Xianbei Army's operation, and they will definitely transfer the artisan equipment documents of the Shizhi Mine to Zhenbei City.

Shi Biao thought to himself, if he took advantage of the emptiness of Zhenbei City, captured Zhenbei City, and captured those craftsmen's equipment documents, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

No!It's not just a great achievement as simple as one piece.After this battle, Ke Bi Neng's prestige among the Xianbei people must be greatly reduced, and Xianbei is likely to become a mess again.If Shi Biao's own tribe gets this divine fire..., then he is very likely to become the master of the grassland in the future.

In an instant, Shi Biao was dazzled by his ambition, and he ordered coldly to the left and right: "Pass in my military order! The whole army will attack the city immediately, and the first to reach the top of the city will be rewarded with a hundred horses and oxen!"

The leaders of all the Xianbei ministries beside Shi Biao said in unison: "That's not right! The Da Dan then ordered me to take the five thousand horses and retreat outside the Great Wall immediately!"

Shi Biao replied coldly: "The general is away, and the emperor's order is not given. Now it is obvious that the main force of the Liang army is not in Zhenbei City, and the things that Da Shanyu wants to get are probably in the city. So how can we miss such a good opportunity? If we Just withdrawing like this, lost so many troops in vain, but got nothing."

Shi Biao glanced at everyone's perplexed expressions, and continued, "Don't worry, as long as we win this battle, the Great Chanyu will definitely not blame us. If we lose, I am the commander of the entire army, and I gave the order to attack the city." Yes, all the crimes are borne by me alone, and have nothing to do with others!"

After hearing what Shi Biao said, everyone had no choice but to follow his orders and lead their own troops to lay siege to Zhenbei City.The Xianbei people had no other way to attack the city, they still relied on hooks, claws and ropes to climb the city and attack by force.Five thousand warriors began to run around Zhenbei City...

Wei Feng at the top of the city saw this scene, his heart tightened, and he shouted loudly: "The enemy is going to attack the city! Prepare for battle!" As soon as he finished speaking, arrows from the bottom of the city were already raining towards the top of the city.

These arrows were so dense that some soldiers of the Liang army accidentally exposed their bodies, and they would be injured or killed by arrows.Some Liang soldiers were forced to curl up behind the wall, unable to move at all.Some of the heavy soldiers squatted behind the big shields. After a short time, their big shields became like hedgehogs.

The first batch of Xianbei soldiers had climbed to the top of the city, and the reclamation soldiers who had been crouching behind the wall stabbed at each other with steel knives in their hands.Most of the Xianbei soldiers were killed by the sword, but there were also a few Xianbei soldiers with high strength who avoided the stab and killed the opponent with a backhand.

One of the Xianbei soldiers had just pulled out the blood-stained blade from the corpse of the Liang Jun reclamation soldier, when he found that a "wall" full of arrows on the opposite side suddenly moved away, and seven or eight spears pierced out in unison.

The spears were too dense, even if the Xianbei soldier moved left and right, he was still stabbed in the thigh with a spear, directly piercing the entire thigh.The Xianbei soldier cried out in pain and knelt down on the corridor at the top of the city, the weapon in his hand was still chopping randomly, but he had lost his tricks.The spears came again, and this time all three pierced his chest.

More and more Xianbei soldiers climbed to the top of Zhenbei City, but at the same time, fewer arrows were shot from below the city.At the top of the city, the two sides are fighting fiercely, but as time goes by, the advantage of the Xianbei soldiers will become greater and greater.

With a pop, Wei Feng just pulled out the Fousou knife in his left hand from the opponent's neck, and then he slashed another Xianbei soldier with the knife in his right hand.At this moment, his whole body was covered in blood, and his swords danced like hot wheels, his eyes were red with blood.

However, he was extremely anxious in his heart. If this continues, over time, Zhenbei City will undoubtedly be destroyed.At this moment, countless banners suddenly rose on the southern horizon of Zhenbei City, and the whole earth trembled.

Wei Feng swung his knife and beheaded another Xianbei soldier, and Fang took the time to look into the distance.After confirming that Zhang Liao's main force returned to help, he was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Brothers, our main force is back, let me throw your arms and kill them all!"

The morale of the Liang army at the top of the city was immediately boosted, while the Xianbei soldiers below the city had stopped attacking the city, and the leaders of the Xianbei tribes fled to the outside of the Great Wall with their headquarters in panic.

Shi Biao himself fled in panic with the Jieren headquarters.The width of the gap where the Great Wall collapsed was limited, and the Xianbei cavalry rushed to flee, huddled in a random group at the gap.Liang Jun's [-] iron cavalry were killed in an instant, and they rushed towards the chaotic Xianbei army like a mountain...

Chapter 308

Shi Biao vigorously waved the scimitar in his hand, and from time to time he could see a head flying up where the light of the knife flashed, and that was the head of a Xianbei.The Jie soldiers guarding him were also galloping on horseback, slashing and killing.All the Xianbei soldiers who blocked their way and hindered their escape were all chopped down and killed.

Shi Biao finally rushed out of a gap in the Great Wall.He gathered some of his Jie soldiers, and fled to the northeast without stopping.At this time, there were only five or six hundred Jie warriors from the tribe around him.

Thousands of Xianbei warriors behind him were still crowded at two or three gaps in the Great Wall.Except for a few war cavalry who were able to escape, the rest were turned into fragmented corpses under the crush of Liang Jun's heavy cavalry.

……

Ke Bineng's situation is not as good as Shi Biao's, with only four hundred soldiers around him.And he made a mistake, he should not have chosen to withdraw from the vicinity of the Stone Fort outside the Great Wall.

This is probably because Ke Bineng had been attacked by Liang Jun like a frightened bird, and returning by the same route made him feel safer psychologically.It's just that he forgot that there is also a Wubao stationed by Liang Jun---Jushibao.

At this time, in the Jushi Fort, Zhang Fa gathered all the scouts and sentries in the fort and arranged military orders.

"Everyone, according to the report from the front scouts, the Xianbei people have been defeated by our army on the loess plateau, and some remnants are approaching the giant stone castle again. It seems that they plan to escape from the vicinity of the giant stone castle and return to Saibei. There are enemy chief Kebineng, so we have to intercept them as much as possible. It is best not to let go of any of them."

Just after Zhang Fa finished speaking, a team leader asked, "Then how many people do they have?"

"Not many, only about 400 people." Zhang Fa said lightly.When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being surprised.

There are only more than 150 officers and soldiers in the whole castle, including cooks and handymen. Although the opponent is a defeated soldier, all the Xianbei war cavalry are elite cavalry.Of course, the scouts in Boulder Fortress are also elite soldiers, but scouts are good at reconnaissance and attack, and this face-to-face confrontation is definitely not as good as the opponent.

Some people in the crowd have already started to remonstrate: "Boss, this can't be done...".As soon as they spoke, they were interrupted by Zhang Fa.

"I know what you are worried about. But you don't need to worry. Of course, I will not be so stupid as to ask you to fight with the enemy. I have my own arrangements to intercept the enemy. Everyone, listen to my military orders..."

……

Ke Bi Neng took the remnants of the defeated army and finally fled to the section of the Great Wall near Jushi Fortress. At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ke Bi Neng waved his hand, and hundreds of riders rushed up and galloped towards the gap in the Great Wall a hundred battles away.Suddenly, several rockets fell from the broken city walls on both sides, and quickly ignited a fire at the gap in the city wall.A wall of fire sealed the gap in the city wall.Ke Bi Neng reined in the reins in a fright, and his war horse also neighed lazily, with its front hooves raised high.

The defenders of Boulder Fort did not have naphtha, they just piled up dead wood and hay in the wild grass here, and sprinkled ordinary lamp oil.In addition, it is the beginning of spring now, and the grass and trees are just showing a little green, so the fire is easy to start.

Liang Jun on the city walls at both ends did not stop, and hid behind the broken pile of walls, and kept shooting cold arrows at the Xianbei cavalry approaching.With a horse whistling and a scream of "Ah", a soldier near Ke Bineng rolled off his horse because of an arrow hit by the horse.

Ke Bi Neng shouted in panic: "Get out, find another gap!" After speaking, he reined in his horse and ran northwest along the Great Wall.

All the riders followed him, but the unlucky ones who lost their horses could only run behind on foot, but how could they keep up?

One of the Xianbei soldiers who was running on foot was suddenly knocked down by a huge force, and then smelled a fishy wind.A mountain vicious dog held him down, reached out and bit off the back of his neck.

There was also a Xianbei soldier who was running, when he heard the sound of horseshoes from behind, and when his neck got cold, his ears roared, and he felt like he was flying into the air.In fact, his head was chopped off by the opponent.

Ke Bineng finally came to another gap in the Great Wall. He learned the lesson from last time, and this time he sent a dozen soldiers to explore the way.

When the dozens of soldiers passed through the gap, they searched carefully, but found no piles of fire starters or other suspicious things here.They made gestures to indicate that there was no danger here.Ke Bineng took the lead and led the Xianbei people to ride across the gap in the Great Wall on horseback. Sure enough, there was no trouble here.

But a quarter of an hour after they left the Great Wall, more than a dozen war horses suddenly screamed in unison, and more than a dozen Xianbei cavalry rolled off their horses.One of them exclaimed, "Barbed caltrops! There are caltrops everywhere!"

While he was speaking, several Xianbei warriors stepped on the barbed wire and were injured and fell down.Ke Bineng and the rest of the Xianbei soldiers quickly reined in their horses and stopped.Ke Bi Neng jumped off his horse, bent down to look closely, and sure enough there were countless barbed wires in the grass.

Liang Jun sentry forts like Jushi Fort usually have barbed terriers, this time they used up all the barbed terriers in the fort, and set up a formation here.As long as the Xianbei people go around twice, it will be difficult to escape.Unless they found the barbed wire, they immediately returned by the same route.But Zhang made sure that they would not do so.

In order to ensure that the Xianbei remnants could enter this formation, Zhang Fa sent several small groups of troops to set up ambushes at the remaining gaps in the Great Wall, igniting the fire walls, scaring off the Xianbei soldiers, and forcing them to leave the Great Wall through this gap.Ke Bineng and the Xianbei army were really fooled.

Sure enough, Ke Bi Neng immediately ordered: "Turn around and go west!".But after walking for a quarter of an hour, they encountered dense barbed wire again.It was another nearly ten battles when the horse hit the barbed wire and fell off the horse.

The Xianbei were forced to turn north again.After making three turns and two turns like this, they rushed left and right, no matter which direction they went, they would encounter barbed wire.At this time, only three hundred riders followed Ke Bineng.Those Xianbei soldiers who were recruited and fell to the rear were hunted down by the scouts of Jushibao without exception.

It was only then that Ke Bineng realized that he had fallen into the formation deliberately set up by the opponent.The corner of his mouth twitched and he said: "Everyone dismounts and marches on foot!".For the Xianbei war cavalry, giving up the horse and so on is equivalent to losing half his life, but now there is no way to abandon the horse and walk on foot.

More than three hundred people got off their horses and walked northward on foot with only weapons and water bags and dry food with them.Even so, when they walked, they did not dare to raise their feet too high, lest they be pierced by barbed wire.

After they walked for a while, several falcons hovered above their heads.After a while, a horse team appeared on the skyline.Ke Bi Neng thought he was one of his own at first, and only when the other party approached did he turn pale with fright.Seventy or eighty arrows have been fired in a dense manner, and more than [-] Xianbei soldiers were shot in an instant.

Chapter 309 Meeting Lu Bu

Seeing the Liang army cavalry attacking, the remaining Xianbei soldiers ran away, but how could they escape the opponent's fast horse?The arrows continued to chase after them, and the sound of horseshoes behind them was like a shower.

Ke Bi Neng shouted anxiously: "Everyone run separately, otherwise no one will be able to escape..." Before he finished speaking, he felt his vest go cold, and an arrow shot into his back chest...

……

In Mei County, in the school grounds of Lu Bujun's camp.The soldiers are training intensely.The sound of drums and trumpets resounded through the sky while the army was marching, the shouts of the soldiers were like thunder, and the cavalry drill in the wilderness outside the camp was like a rushing tide.

A group of newly transferred crossbowmen and longbowmen were conducting shooting drills, and Lu Bu himself watched from the shooting range.Although the Lü Bu Legion is located in Mei County, like other legions, all soldiers, even the heavy soldiers, are trained uniformly by the barracks in the system city.The soldiers of Lu Bu's army are basically from Zhuyang.

Lu Bu's own two thousand soldiers were also retrained in the Zhuyang barracks, and some of them were reassigned to Lu Bu's name.

"Report! Your Majesty...the King is coming to the barracks." A soldier hurried over to report to Lu Bu.Lu Bu stood up from the pony pony in surprise. He never dreamed that Feng Yu would come to Mei County in person at this time, and asked quickly:

"Where is Wang Shangxing now?"

"General Qi, it's less than three miles away from Mei County!"

"Order, the whole army goes out of the city to line up to welcome the king!"
