Chapter 50 The Allied Forces Retreat
Holding the sharp sword tightly with his right hand, his rapid breathing gradually subsided, and the two Korean soldiers looked at each other silently.
At this moment, a dangerous light appeared in the eyes of the two of them at the same time.
This cold light was like a sharp arrow, shooting straight in front of the two people, and its target was a Wei soldier not far away from the two people.
Holding a large shield in his left hand to block the attack from the front, the Wei soldier suddenly thrust out the halberd in his hand as if by instinct.
When the sound of a sharp blade piercing the body resounded on the battlefield, a blood arrow spattered on the Wei army, and then there was a dull sound of the Korean army's corpse falling to the ground.
But in just one encounter, a brave and battle-hardened Korean soldier died in the hands of this Wei soldier.
Regarding the death of this Korean soldier, this Wei soldier did not have any excessive reaction, and there was not even a trace of excitement on his calm face.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Wei army in front of him was like a ruthless war machine, completing his killing mission very efficiently.
Just when the Wei soldier was about to step forward and pull out his halberd from the body of the fallen Korean soldier, he immediately heard two footsteps appearing behind him.
The instinct honed through countless battles immediately made the Wei army aware of the approaching danger, and defensive measures were immediately initiated.
The next moment, a dull sound of metal and wood intersecting was heard, and the large shield in the left hand of the Wei army blocked the long sword in the hand of one of the Korean soldiers.
Just blocking one of them does not mean the end of this confrontation, because another sharp sword has already appeared behind Wei Jun.
Seeing that the sharp sword in his hand was about to slash at Wei Jun, and that the fatal sword edge was about to cause heavy damage to the opponent, another Korean soldier couldn't help but have an excited smile on his face.
But the smile on the Korean soldier's face did not last long. What happened next moment made him fall into a state of disbelief.
I saw that the long sword in Han Jun's hand fell on Wei Jun, and the sword edge also left traces on the armor. However, the effect of this sudden offensive was only this.
Because of the heavy armor on his body, not only was this Wei Jun seriously injured, he didn't even suffer any damage at all.
That is, at the moment when the Korean army showed a look of shock, the Wei army's counterattack began before he could react.
His right hand was like a gust of wind, and he pulled out the long sword used for close combat from his waist. Following the Korean army's sudden attack, the sharp long sword fell straight on the vital part of the Korean army in an instant.
There was another sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood, and the Korean soldier who failed to make a surprise attack had no chance of continuing to fight.
"Well……"
When the Korean soldier fell in the sight of Wei Jun, a scream suddenly sounded, and when he turned around, he saw a long halberd piercing the body of another Korean soldier.
Looking at his comrade who was holding a halberd and wearing the same armor as himself, the Wei Jun didn't say much. The two of them just nodded silently.
Without investing too much in this battle that ended in a very short period of time, the two Wei soldiers quickly took back their weapons and continued their offensive against the other Korean soldiers around them.
There was nothing special about the scenes that just happened. At this moment, countless similar battles were being staged again and again on this not-so-wide battlefield.
Those who died in these battles were often Korean soldiers wearing green armor.
In fact, this scene was not very fair to the Korean army on the battlefield, because what they encountered at this moment was not an ordinary Wei army, but Wei soldiers who were armed to the teeth.
Facing this elite force, which was founded by Wu Qi, the governor of Xihe County in Wei State, and gradually grew into the world's most powerful army in war after war, the Korean soldiers simply did not have enough strength to fight against it.
The death of a Wei soldier often required the efforts of several or even a dozen Korean soldiers. The gap in combat power between the two sides was so desperate.
Standing on the chariot in the Korean army formation, looking at the Korean soldiers under his command falling one after another, Han Kai, as the leader of the Korean army, only had fear in his eyes.
After the actual battle with the Wei army, Han Kai no longer had the original contempt in his heart, but only the fear of the Wei army's terrifying combat power.
His body fell uncontrollably and he sat slumped on the chariot. Han Kai's psychological defense almost collapsed at this moment.
"it's all my fault……"
"If I hadn't acted on my own will, how could our army have faced the Wei army head-on? If I hadn't underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, how would our army have been caught in a double attack by the Wei army."
"it's all my fault!"
It seemed that this guilt had completely occupied Han Kai's heart. The next moment he stood up directly, and his right hand reached for the long sword at his waist very quickly.
"I, Han Kai, am a sinner of South Korea."
As he finished speaking, a sharp sword blade appeared on Han Kai's neck, and it seemed that he was going to kill himself on the spot in the next moment as an apology.
At the critical moment, a force fell directly on Han Kai's right arm, and then the long sword blade left his neck.
At the same time, an anxious voice appeared in his ears, "General, please don't do this. Our army may still have a glimmer of hope."
Listening to this voice, Han Kai immediately moved his eyes to the deputy general beside him, and a bit of expectation could not help but appear in his eyes.
Facing Han Kai's gaze, the deputy general looked at the northern sky and said, "General, our army is not fighting alone. We have Zhao's 50,000 troops behind us."
"If our army can concentrate all its forces in one place, it may not be possible to break through the Wei army's encirclement and join forces with the 50,000 Zhao army behind our army."
"this……"
Hearing the hesitation in Han Kai's words, the deputy general next to him immediately solemnly said again: "General, although our army will inevitably suffer huge losses in the process of breaking through the encirclement of the Wei army; but once with the Zhao army,
If the meeting is successful, our army will be able to avoid the fate of total annihilation."
"It's up to the general to decide whether it's life or death."
Perhaps influenced by the words of the Korean lieutenant general, or perhaps seeing a glimmer of hope, the long sword originally used to commit suicide in Han Kai's hand pointed straight ahead.
"All officers and men of the army, listen to my orders..."
"Concentrate your strength and break out backwards!"
After the Korean army commander issued this order, the Korean army, which was about to be drowned, immediately grasped the last straw.
Even though the comrades around him fell one by one under the halberds of the Wei soldiers, these Korean soldiers were still launching attacks against each other one after another.
While the Han army launched offensives against the Wei army again and again without fear of death, Zhao Jun, as his ally, also did not sit still and waited for death, and also concentrated its efforts to attack the Wei army's defense line.
In the end, after losing the lives of 20,000 Korean soldiers and 10,000 Zhao soldiers, the Zhao-Han coalition finally retreated from the confrontation with the Wei army.
Just the defeat of the coalition forces did not mean the end of the war.
