The Hu people finally launched the most violent attack.

If it is said that the previous attacks only used 50% of their strength, then this attack, the Hu people held their strength. More than 50,000 Hu cavalry opened the front and launched the attack on Yangguan. The previous few times were far behind. violent attack.

In Hu Qi's hand, he was not holding a saber.

Except for most people using bows and arrows, some of them hold a rather strange weapon in their hands. The weapon is very simple to say, it is a very short iron wire tied to a thick stone, like a pendulum The same thing, those stones are huge in size, although the Hu people are not small in strength, but those who carry these weapons are a group of Hu people with great strength.

This weapon was used by about four or five thousand men, following behind the archer cavalry.

This kind of weapon, on the side of the Hu people, is called "long stone". It is a simple weapon for attacking the pass. The iron wire brought out the power, and then the stone was thrown out to destroy the city wall with the power of the stone.

One, two, or even ten or hundreds of such weapons would not be of much use at all, but thousands of mosquito-like "feldspars" pouring down on the city wall would certainly cause considerable damage.

The walls of Yangguan, which had already been hit several times, could no longer withstand this shock.

Moreover, the strength of the Hu people is ten times that of the defenders, and the defense line of Yangguan is extremely long. Once the defenders opened the defense line, the strength of each stronghold was pitifully small, and each pass had to face the impact of Hu people ten times their own The Hu people's feathers and arrows are like locusts, and their strength, speed and accuracy are much stronger than those of the Chu army. This time the attack took less than an hour, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties. Cut off the wall, revealing a huge gap, Hu Qi put on his saber without hesitation, and rushed into the pass like a tide.

Although Yangguan was broken, the Northwest Army did not give up. They were pitifully small in number, but they still waved their swords and fought bloody battles with the barbarians without fear.

The soldiers on both sides knew in their hearts that the other side was a warrior standing upright and buried, and would never give in to each other, so the only choice was to fight bloody to the end.

The troops of the Northwest Army had already killed only about 2,000 people, and they were surrounded and killed by a flood of horsemen. The Northwest Army was definitely not a lamb waiting to die. Their eyes were red, their bodies were covered in blood, and they tried their best. , side by side, back to back, and the fierce barbarian for the final fight.

They understand that once the Yang Pass is broken, the barbarians will march forward. Countless people will be slaughtered and raped along the way. They can only perform their last duties at the cost of their own lives.

Wu Lachi's steed had already galloped up to the wall, looking at the bloody Northwest Army, looked left and right, and pointed with a whip: "This is the real warrior. If there are people like this in the world, the hegemony of our barbarians It will be difficult, fortunately there will not be too many people like this... definitely not too many!"

Flying sand and dust floated in mid-air, and amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, a black mark appeared on the distant horizon, and soon, that mark turned into a long black line, like a line on the horizon. Move, roll over to Yangguan.

Accompanied by the screams of killing, the Hu people knew that the reinforcements from the Northwest had arrived.

Excitement flashed in Wu La's red eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Blow the horn and order Ali Gutai's troops to meet the reinforcements!"

The horn player next to him immediately blew the horn. The sound of the horn was two long and one short, melodious and loud, and there were many chaotic troops, but they were still clearly heard.

In the sound of the horn, Ali Gutai led a Hu cavalry to withdraw from the battle group, brandished a sword, and greeted the reinforcements.

After the final battle, the Yangguan garrison was almost completely annihilated, with less than a thousand people still fighting desperately. When they heard that their own reinforcements had arrived, this group of people just felt relieved, at least they had fulfilled their duties.

Inside and outside the Yang Pass, corpses were scattered all over, and many corpses were soon obliterated by sand and dust.

Seeing from a distance that the cavalry led by Ali Gutai had confronted the northwest reinforcements, Wu Lachi showed a strange smile.

The Northwest Army and Hu Qi can be said to be the two most powerful armies of this era. The collision between these two armies is undoubtedly more bloody and cruel. The knights on both sides are back and forth, and they are carrying out the most ruthless hacking in the cold weapon era with the most primitive hearts. Killing, Jin Ge clashing, sonorous and powerful.

The soldiers on both sides may be the enemies that the other side hates and hates the most in this world, so as soon as they fought each other, neither of them flinched, but tried their best to kill as many enemies as possible.

Mao Di was always strong and majestic. He seemed to have learned how to turn grief into strength. The death of King Mingyue made him extremely sad. In the blink of an eye, several Hu Qi were stabbed to death in succession.

He seemed to be expressing his loyalty to King Mingyue in this way, because King Mingyue's greatest wish before his death was to have his northwest soldiers beat the barbarians hard.

After the 20,000 Huqi led by Ali Gutai lost nearly a thousand people, they heard the horn of "Woooo" from Yangguan.

Knowing the meaning, Ali Gutai turned his horse's head and shouted in Hu language to retreat, so Hu Qi followed behind Ali Gutai and retreated towards Yangguan.

Although Mao Di and the other Northwest iron cavalry knew that there were still troops under Yangguan with their own Hu cavalry, they did not hesitate to follow behind with their sabers brandishing, and chased after them.

Here at Yangguan, Wu Lachi had already mounted the steed, causing the horn player to blow the horn again.

With the sound of "woo woo", Hu Qi, who was fighting at Yangguan, seemed to be afraid of the arrival of reinforcements from the northwest. He left the checkpoint and the few hundred Yangguan defenders left, and retreated to the outside of the pass where the yellow sand was all over the place.

One after another, the Hu horses, carrying the Hu soldiers, retreated to the outside of the pass, shouting.

The Northwest Army quickly felt the dilapidated and bloody Yangguan. When they saw the Yangguan defenders laying on the ground in large numbers, their death conditions were horrific, they were all very angry and sad.

"Shuai Mao, those barbarians have retreated." The general said, "Didn't they fight well in the past? Why did they fight us for a while today, and then the whole army retreated?"

Mao Di sneered and said: "Although they have 50,000 cavalry, they seem to be more than us, but the Yingtu commander is not stupid. Seeing our reinforcements arrive, he must know that we have a truce with the Chu army, and he can think of it more. There is still a large group of people coming behind us, and when all our troops are here, they want to run, but it will be too late."

"Then... shall we chase after him?" the general asked.

Looking at the miserable scene in Yangguan, Mao Di's resentment and anger reached the extreme: "Why don't you chase after them? So many brothers died in the hands of these Hulu, should we just let Hulu go away like this?" Clenching his fists: "Even if we are pioneers, let's show Xue Poye and his Chu army that our Northwest Army has never been a coward!"

A general next to him said quite calmly: "Shuai Mao, the Hulu troops are against us, and... and we don't know if there is an ambush outside the pass, is it wrong to rush in easily? Why don't we wait for the army behind to come up, and then we will advance to the north. Hu, make a quick kill!"

"Those stupid Hulu, how can there be an ambush!" Mao Di said disdainfully: "The Hulu's main attack direction is still on the front line of Yanmen Pass. There are 50,000 to 60,000 Hu people who attacked Yangguan, which is not bad. The Hu people retreated hastily, and naturally they have no intention of fighting us. We just took advantage of the situation and killed some Hu people. We will kill some Hu people for our dead brothers. Revenge." Raising the spear in his hand suddenly, he shouted: "Brothers, the Hulu is in front, let's go up and taste the blood of the Hulu!" As soon as he urged the horse, the standard-bearers beside him waved the battle flag, and the Northwest Army He chased the retreating Hu Qi as fast as lightning.

Although the horses of the Northwest Army were not as durable as the purebred Humas, they did not lag behind the Humas in terms of speed during this not-too-long-distance sprint. At the same time, he could vaguely see the hurrying figures of the barbarian army in front of him.

The morale of the Northwest Army was greatly boosted, and they accelerated their speed.

The Northwest Army who is familiar with this area knows that there is a relatively shallow river less than forty miles ahead. The most vital river outside the pass, as long as Hu Qi got there, his speed would definitely slow down. Otherwise, no matter how shallow the river was, it might cause the horse to sink deep in the sand.

After chasing for another half an hour, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the Yunqier River, the Northwest Army sprinting at the front suddenly discovered that the Hu people who had retreated in a hurry did not continue to retreat, but were on the edge of the Yunqier River. Assemble, tens of thousands of troops are facing the Northwest Army, as if waiting for the arrival of the Northwest Army.

Seeing that Hu Qi was calm and composed, without any signs of panic before, Mao Di, who was at the front of the Northwest Army, felt his heart tighten suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

"Shuai Mao, the barbarian... The barbarian seems to be wrong!" During the gallop, a general next to him shouted loudly.

There was still a mile or so away from the barbarians, and Mao Di finally stopped moving forward. He held the spear tightly in his hand, looked around like a torch, and saw that there were many uneven sand dunes everywhere.

The Northwest Army saw that the Hu Qimen by the riverside of Yanqier were forming a sprinting formation in an orderly manner, and the blood-stained saber was shaking slightly, and it seemed that they were about to turn around and charge.

"Wooooow!"

A horn sounded unique to Hu people, low and pale.

The sound of the horn did not come from the Hu Qi formation on the opposite side, but from the rear of the Northwest Army.

When Mao Di heard the sound of the horn, his expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "No, quickly retreat!" He ordered the horn player to blow the bugle to retreat, but the moment the horn sounded, Hu Qier by the river was gone. The sky and the sky were overwhelming like a hurricane, and from the rear of the Northwest Army, there was also the sound of shouting and killing in the voice of a barbarian.

Attacking back and forth, they were surrounded.

The Hu people retreated, but they led the Northwest Army into a trap and set up an ambush behind them.

The Northwest Army did not see the Hu people in ambush when they pursued. It was obvious that the Hu people were hiding on both sides, and they were open like a gate. When the Northwest Army entered the trap, they immediately closed the gate to block the escape route.

They are here to wipe out the most powerful cavalry of the Northwest Army!
