Chapter 259 Possessed by Evil(2/2)
However, the Shao thieves were cunning and had predicted their plan in advance. They set up an ambush at Qili Pass and killed them in a panic.
It's too late to say anything now. If you lose, you have to admit it. It's important to find an opportunity to withdraw.
The troops and horses led by the King of Chu are just the vanguard. The main force of the Han Dynasty's 150,000 infantry and cavalry has not yet set off. They will come to take revenge after a while.
After resting, Liu Ling led everyone on their horses and headed northwest.
As we approached Shaanxi County, hundreds of riders suddenly appeared in front of us.
The other party seemed to be surprised too, not expecting to encounter the Xiongnu in the countryside of Shaanxian County.
But they reacted quickly. They immediately dismounted and gathered together, occupying both sides of the post road. They skillfully took out their crossbows and fired at the Huns' cavalry.
"Charge over, don't be reluctant to fight!" Liu Ling roared, and surrounded by his own soldiers, he rushed forward at a very fast speed.
The Huns - well, most of them were not Huns - crouched on their horses as much as possible to avoid the crossbow bolts.
There are also people who perform hiding stunts while running at high speed, sometimes hanging on one side of the horse, sometimes hanging on the other side, trying to avoid the incoming crossbow bolts.
But how can it be so easy to escape when we meet face to face?
Crossbow arrows were fired from both sides of the road, and more than a thousand Huns cavalry once again performed a spectacular show for the people.
Someone was directly pierced by the crossbow arrow and fell to the ground.
Someone was shot on his mount and was thrown away.
Others were blocked by the bodies in front of them and had no time to turn, causing them and their horses to fall to the ground.
The scene was tragic.
But the Huns had no intention of stopping and resisting. They almost exhausted their horse power to the extreme and ran wildly without any fighting spirit.
After running for more than ten miles like this, when I saw that the horse was overwhelmed, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard from behind again.
Liu Ling turned around and looked around, only to see hundreds of cavalrymen holding horseshoes and halberds, shouting and chasing after them.
He closed his eyes in despair, feeling a surge of regret in his heart.
If he had known that he was going to be hunted down like this, he should have contained as many broken troops as possible outside the pass and then fought to the death.
But he was afraid at that time and ran away habitually.
When encountering the crossbow-wielding horse infantry just now, it is not impossible to fight to the death.
But he was in a hurry to run away and had no fighting spirit.
What we are encountering now should be the Jin Cavalry Army. These people are professional cavalry and they probably have enough horsepower. How can they escape?
One wrong step, one wrong step.
Looking back now, I felt like I was possessed by an evil spirit today. From the moment I was ambushed, I fell into other people's calculations every step of the way, constantly missing opportunities, not only losing my fighting spirit, but eventually reaching the end of the road.
"Xilululu" the horse suddenly knelt on its front hooves and fell to the ground.
Liu Ling was careless and was thrown away. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and rolled a bit when he landed on the ground without any injuries.
Just as he stood up, more than ten riders rushed in front of him.
Someone shouted in surprise: "Here is a thief, please catch him alive!"
Liu Linggang wanted to resist, but was surrounded.
He sighed, lowered his head, abandoned his weapon and knelt down.
Beside him, a large group of cavalry passed by like lightning, and the pursuit continued.
