Chapter 439 Bloody Battle
Chapter 439 Bloody Battle
As for the scene of a decisive battle involving an army of 200,000, I'm afraid it can only be described as a dark cloud covering the city.
The mountains and plains were filled with human heads, and countless figures were pressing on the entrance of Dongxiashi Valley. The cavalry couldn't even penetrate in this terrain.
However, at the entrance of Dongxishi Valley, the fight among nearly 80,000 people soon turned into a one-sided situation due to the internal strife among the Khitan soldiers.
It was not known which deputy general of the Khitan army shouted in Khitan language, "The commander has escaped." These soldiers who had fought bravely knew that they had no one to rely on, so they began to mobilize the rear and crush their own people.
Countless people were trampled to death by the soldiers and horses. Seeing that they were powerless to save the situation, the supervisory team turned around and ran away without caring whether they were holding swords or not.
Generals Chang Huaide and Zhou Mulian, who were transferred by Li Jinzhong, had no time to retreat and watched helplessly as the defeated army attacked their troops first. When their weapons clashed, the soldiers standing in the front fell down in rows.
"Damn it, how come I lost so quickly?"
Chang Huaide roared angrily, but he did not dare to be distracted on a battlefield of this level.
He was seen holding a huge axe in his hand, holding the belly of the curly-haired Red Hare horse under his crotch, rushing out and chopping down seven or eight fleeing soldiers.
"If anyone escapes again, they will be killed without mercy!"
Zhou Mulian took a deep breath and held the gun in her hand. She originally wanted to control the fleeing soldiers together with Chang Huaide.
However, out of the corner of his eye he saw that at the entrance of Dongxishi Valley, officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou were rushing in like ants, killing and wounding countless fleeing soldiers along the way.
"General Chang, the Right Guards are attacking!"
"Either retreat now or dismount and surrender immediately, or you and I will both die today!"
Chang Huaide suddenly turned around, hacked and killed dozens of Khitan fleeing soldiers, and shouted:
"For a general, dying on the battlefield is the highest honor!"
"General Zhou, if the Supreme Khan hadn't left, he would have sent troops to support you and me!"
"If it is true as these defeated soldiers say, that the Supreme Khan has already fled, then you and I should fight to the death to repay the Supreme Khan for his kindness!"
Zhou Mulian was riding on the horse, with a hint of emotion on her face.
He went from being a small figure in Khitan to having thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, wasn't it all thanks to Li Jinzhong's support?
Now that Li Jinzhong has been defeated, it is the critical moment for him to take action to repay the enemy.
Chang Huaide, who was still trying his best to kill the fleeing soldiers, shouted:
"Do you remember when you and I followed the Supreme Khan to bow down to Zhao Wenhui in Yingzhou in the dead of winter last year, and heard Zhao Wenhui mention the most talented young man in the Great Zhou?"
"Although he is young, he is already a well-known figure in the official circles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his official position is extremely high!"
"What is it based on? Isn't it just what he said?"
"Report your favor on the golden stage, support the Jade Dragon and die for you!"
"Today is the time for us, the rough men, to repay the Supreme Khan!"
"My soldiers, follow me and charge!"
"Kill the fleeing soldiers, kill the Zhou army! Buy time for the Supreme Khan to retreat!"
Chang Huaide summoned all his courage and led his troops to fight their way out of the fleeing soldiers.
His target was none other than Li Kaigu, the former Khitan general who was leading the Right Guard to attack!
Not far from Li Kaigu, Song Wuji was also fighting hard.
Born a snake spirit, he never expected that he would fight with all his might for the Great Zhou on the battlefield and kill the Khitan army that was supposed to be the reinforcements.
"Do you know the old Khitan general Li Kaigu, who is still a member of the Khitan army?"
Chang Huaide fought his way out of the fleeing soldiers and headed straight for Li Kaigu.
Li Kaigu did not recognize Chang Huaide. Although he was once a Khitan general, he had never heard of him.
"You little brat, you are so arrogant! I will take your head!"
Li Kaigu was also a merciless person, and he went straight to Chang Huaide with his personal soldiers.
The Youweiwei army deployed to the front and began to capture and kill the Khitan fleeing soldiers.
Li Kaigu led his troops and faced off against Chang Huaide's troops.
Song Wuji wantonly killed the fleeing soldiers, hoping to gain some military merit, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse that among the fleeing soldiers, an army broke out, and the leading general led his troops straight towards Li Kaigu.
"Damn it, it really makes me worry!"
"My soldiers, follow me to support General Li Kaigu!"
The front half of the Dongxishi Valley was like a meat grinder at this moment, wantonly reaping the lives of soldiers from both armies.
Li Kaigu's soldiers and Chang Huaide's soldiers crushed each other, and countless people died.
Li Kaigu, who was fighting hard, felt that his army was getting more and more exhausted. He turned his horse around and found that there was another army attacking them.
"Damn it, who is this rat again?"
The leading general in that army shot down a small group of Li Kaigu's soldiers with one shot and shouted:
"Nai Weng is a subordinate of the Supreme Khan of Khitan, General Zhou Mulian!"
Zhou Mulian was full of energy. After avenging her life, she was going to kill the soldiers under Li Kaigu again.
Suddenly, the army behind Zhou Mulian was in chaos.
The soldiers were trampling on each other, and vaguely, they could see a group of Right Guard soldiers hacking and killing the soldiers under Zhou Mulian.
The leading general of the Right Guard was Song Wuji.
He shouted, "General Li Kaigu, don't panic, Song Wuji is coming!!"
While killing the soldiers blocking his way, he headed towards Zhou Mulian's position.
"The Khitan boy is extremely despicable, and only dares to play tricks of using his numbers to bully the few!"
"I have met you today, so I will not let you run wild!"
"Remember your father's name, it is General Song Wuji of the Right Guard!"
Zhou Mulian looked a little dazed. He seemed to have heard of this name before.
Looks like... they are friendly forces, right?
Before his trance ended, a sharp arrow shot into his mouth.
"Distraction is a big taboo on the battlefield!"
Su Honghui, who had already asked Wang Xiaojie for a fight, rushed into the battlefield on horseback. The hand holding the longbow indicated that the arrow that killed Zhou Mulian was shot by him.
"The general has ordered that this battle is only to destroy the Khitan's manpower, so just slaughter them!"
"I am the Right Guard, and I don't want any prisoners!"
At Su Honghui's command, the soldiers of the Right Guard swung their knives without hesitation and slashed at the Khitans who had chosen to surrender.
Even the old Khitan general Li Kaigu himself did not show the slightest bit of mercy at this moment.
Slaughter on the battlefield is the choice of the general, and Li Kaigu would never contradict his commander on the battlefield.
"Damn you, Li Kaigu, your father is here to take your life!"
Chang Huaide was holding a huge axe and was about to kill Li Kaigu.
Su Honghui was protected by a group of personal guards. Seeing that Chang Huaide was determined to fight Li Kaigu to the death, he reached into the quiver and took out a sharp arrow.
The distance between Chang Huaide and Li Kaigu quickly decreased from three hundred steps to two hundred steps, and all the Great Zhou soldiers who tried to stop them along the way were killed.
Li Kaigu did not show weakness and led his troops to rush towards Chang Huaide's troops.
The distance between the two men was getting closer and closer. After Su Honghui asked his subordinates to protect him, he drew his bow and arrow again.
"This arrow will definitely hit the target!"
