The Heshou army of Wudu County meandered on the official road, and these more than 10,000 troops, as the new force of Song Jian, would soon arrive in Xixian County, and join up with the 2,000 Caohan soldiers and horses stationed in the west of Xixian County, in order to break through the Xixian County garrisoned by Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop.

On the grassland in the north, Yan Xing led the deployment and launched a life-and-death struggle with more than 1,000 horsemen at the head of the river on the grassland. There were more than 200 horsemen when they escaped from the camp, and the enemy army was still chasing after them for only 20 miles, Yan Xing led the warriors to counterattack once, winning a chance for the large army to escape, but when they ran to ten miles away from Ji County, there were only 23 horsemen left.

The five hundred horsemen he gave him were defeated in a battle.

The dejected Yan Xing called for the gate of Ji County and went to the administrative office to receive the punishment.

……

Further north, on the endless stretch of yellow earth, there is a isolated city, the center of Hanyang-gun.

Lüyang, this ancient city has a glorious history, and its roots can be traced back to the Warring States period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Today, it is just a lonely small city on the border of Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty, neither a strategic point nor a state and county office, but a small border town. But on this day, the border town ushered in unusual friends, and what was about to happen here will also indirectly change the future pattern of Liangzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a war will start here. After today, Lüyang will spread all over Liangzhou with the name of this war. This is not only because the person who led the army here today is named Han Sui, but also because the general who put up a formation outside the moat to meet him is the brother of Liangzhou Mu Ma Yue, Ma Teng.

Han Sui's army is arrayed, nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses form three conical formations, the first is the best horse archers in the whole Liangzhou Qiang people, when the commander orders the charge, they will rush to the enemy formation and throw the first round of arrow rain, and then maintain the ring and turn to the flank, for the rear two conical formations of infantry, cavalry sweep formation. This is their method of warfare, following Han Sui to fight in the north and south in Liangzhou, the sacred land that nurtured them, they have always taken on such an important task and have never made a mistake.

These elite horse archers are all Han Sui's direct soldiers and horses, and the men of Liangzhou are more or less similar in their views on the subordinates of the commander, their ancestors are like this, and in their generation, the same traditions are still passed down in this land. Han Sui, like Ma Yue, pinned his hopes on the elite who would lead the war, and handed over the main force to the Pao Ze brothers to lead them to fight in all directions. It's just that the conical formation of more than 4,000 horse archers has undoubtedly shown that Han Sui is much more successful than Ma Yue in this regard.

They were enough to deter the two cone-shaped arrays with a total of 16,000 led by Zhi Wudai and Li Xiangru behind. Because his men were more elite, their bows were more flexible, their horses stronger, and most importantly, their riders were braver.

Han Sui stood in front of the formation and rode his horse, and the dark cyan Dawan horse, which was in a toned body, was even more shiny. It was a noble horse worthy of its master's status, and when it galloped through three large cones, accompanied by the master's loud pre-battle mobilization and the neighing of the red robe, its appropriate neighing made the horses surrender, just like its master.

In front of these ten thousand horses, Han Sui was not standing behind his cronies and generals, but Ma Yu and Jia Xu, who were surrounded by more than a dozen warriors, both of whom were bound by sturdy silk cloth. Jia Xu pursed his lips and looked at the formation in front of him silently, and the horse playing beside him could only make a whining sound in his mouth, the cruelty and ferocity of the outstanding cavalry general of the Liangzhou Han Army made Han Sui so happy that he wanted to take it in, but his stubbornness made his Liangzhou official dialect mixed with obscure Qiang language, and the chatter and abuse along the way upset Han Sui, and finally had to stuff a large piece of linen cloth in his mouth.

After all, the taming of a hot-tempered horse starts with putting on the bridle, doesn't it?

On the other hand, Jia Xu is much smarter and very popular with Han Sui, not because this elderly martial arts man never talks much along the way, but because he can always say all kinds of problems in the general trend of the world and coincide with his own opinions, which makes Han Sui feel extremely happy. Of course, there is only one exception, that is, Han Sui is planning for himself, and Jia Xu's starting point is to run for Ma Yue.

"Wenhe, look over there, Ma Bo's troops seem to be a little insufficient."

Listening to Han Sui's deep voice, Jia Xu raised his head and looked across the desolate suburban land......

The uniforms of the Liangzhou army are not uniform like other places, and Ma Yue's resources are not enough to equip all the soldiers with uniform clothing, not to mention that less than half of the sergeants led by Ma Teng are temporarily recruited, some are wearing farmers' clothes, some are county soldiers, and some are seeking thieves between the townships. I saw that the soldiers were tightly backed by the moat to form a semi-circular ring formation, and the foot archers stood on the outermost part to form a loose formation, followed by the infantry who were ready to charge out with spears at any moment before the short encounter, and on both sides of the formation, the two Qiang-like cavalry formations were also ready to assault posture, Jia Xu recognized that the generals of the cavalry leaders were Qiang Cheng Yin and Cheng Yi.

Jia Xu was too familiar with the weapons in their hands. The spear shaft and iron spearhead of these Zhangwu spears are all inferior weapons that were rushed out by the iron-making division set up by Ma Yue himself through a method called the 'assembly line', and the wooden pole is used to accumulate bamboo and wood, and the hardwood is wrapped in the outer benefit, and the bamboo purchased by the local merchants of the division is cut off the bamboo skin, and then wrapped in hemp rope and coated with lacquer, this kind of wooden pole is extremely strong, and it can be said that it is the best spear shaft in the various forces in the entire Liangzhou. The reason why Jia Xu thinks that these weapons are of inferior quality is that the problem lies in the iron spearhead, the iron-making division is called iron-making, in fact, it can't make good wrought iron now, these iron spearheads made of pig iron are good to deal with unarmored enemies, once they face half of the cavalry wearing iron armor under the command of Han Sui, I am afraid that the spearhead will be broken before hurting people.

What's more, the formation on the opposite side was far less than Han Sui's troops, worthy of 10,000 horses...... The equipment is not good enough, the troops are not enough, and the soldiers are not as experienced as the enemy.

But Jia Xu didn't feel that this battle was hanging, on the contrary, he was ready to take advantage of the chaos to get out of Han Sui's control. But it's not easy to escape, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops behind him, even the dozen or so Qiang men who look very brave next to him are not opponents.

So, Jia Xu turned his gaze to the horse play next to him, and was deeply trapped in the enemy formation, Jia Xu could only pin his hope on the general next to him who was constantly insulted by people.

Jia Xu patted the horse to play, and in exchange for the horse to play with a cold eyebrow, he glared at Jia Xu angrily with a whimper.

Jia Xu didn't understand what it meant to play with horses, probably because he felt that the soldiers and horses led by Ma Teng on the other side couldn't win this battle, Jia Xu couldn't care too much, frowned and waved his hand to signal the horse to play a little quietly, and at the same time gestured with his eyes to the Qiang man with a saber on his waist in front of the two. Of these dozen people, he was the only one who carried a knife, and he was powerful and tall in life, and he was obviously the leader of Han Sui's personal soldiers.

Ma Yu looked at the knife, and then at Jia Xu, with some confusion in his eyes.

Jia Xu saw that he saw the knife, turned his head and stopped talking. Just arched his bound hands and said to Han Sui on the horse: "There are not many battle formations, does General Han think that he will definitely win?" ”

Han Sui shook his head with a cold smile on his face, raised his hand and said, "Then let's wait and see." All the army is attacking! ”

"All-army sortie" ...... "all-army sortie" ...... "all-army sortie"......

The sound of the command sounded on the battlefield, the first to gallop up was the conical formation behind Han Sui, the movement of more than 4,000 horses galloping out made the ground under Jia Xu's feet tremble, Han Wenyue also rode forward and followed behind the conical formation, the entire cone-shaped array rode past them, and the horses flashed from the side, this feeling undoubtedly made Jia Xu feel a tremor from the depths of his heart, but he was not afraid, because he knew that at least at this moment, those sharp spears and sabers would not cut him.

The entire cone-shaped formation rushed out, and the second formation roared with the order of the Qiang Species General.

Jia Xu's heart was raised, whether this war is won or lost, it depends on now!

"The whole army obeyed the order, rushed forward a thousand steps, and lined up behind those people to garrison their horses!"

The people in Zhi Wudai's mouth are Jia Xu Ma Play and the dozen or so Qiang warriors around him.

Jia Xu knew that he had won this battle. That's right, this battle is the victory of his martial arts Jia Wenhe!

The galloping array quickly split, the cavalry in front of the infantry in the back, the infantry under the command of Zhi Wudai all straddled the bow and arrow, and every Qiang family had a bow and arrow, and this thing would be used by the Qiang seed when it was born! The cavalry galloped to a stop more than ten steps behind Jia Xu, the horse snorted uneasily, and the infantry galloped for a while, and then stood behind the cavalry. The archers under the command of Han Sui had already thrown three rounds of arrows into the Han army's position, and suddenly a wail sounded on the battlefield.

Zhi Wudai stopped the army by stopping the army and confused Li Xiangru behind, so he had to advance the formation by 500 steps and personally ride a horse to come over.

When he arrived in front of the battle, Li Xiangru waved his horsewhip and pointed at Zhi Wudai and asked with an unkind expression: "What are you doing with Zhi Wudai, didn't the general order us to rush directly into the battle as before yesterday?" ”

"Brother Ru, don't worry, listen to my explanation." Zhi Wudai drove the horse two steps, and Li Xiangru's mount was wrong, so he gently beckoned to Li Xiangru and whispered: "The general has other secret things to hand over to a certain person, and you come with your ears." ”

Li Xiangru believed that it was true, and the horse took two steps to that side, just stretched out his head, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, it was Zhi Wudai who stabbed the sharp knife into his chest, and his face was shocked and pointed at Zhi Wudai before he could say anything and fell off the horse, and saw Zhi Wudai suddenly pull the reins and throw the knife out, and all his subordinates returned to their bodies, shouting: "Four thousand horsemen and horses will undoubtedly win, no matter how much, pass my military order, and the soldiers will turn around and kill me!" ”

In the roar, the horses and infantry under the command of Zhi Wu Dai turned around and rushed towards Li Xiangru's soldiers and horses, and even the leader was killed.

Seeing this situation, the men on Ma Teng's side suddenly had a surge in morale, and they shouted angrily and beckoned their blades to Han Sui's bow horseman, Ma Teng shouted: "The enemy army has defected, and the brothers will kill a certain family!" ”

Ma Yu was stunned when he saw this change, Han Sui's army was unable to dodge and was entangled by Ma Teng's cavalry, and he was about to be surrounded by the Han infantry, and he couldn't turn his head for a while, and suddenly he was knocked heavily on his ribs, and raised his head to face Jia Xu's sad face.

Then, Ma Yu saw Jia Xu kick on the crook of the foot of the captain of the guard in front of him, and pulled out half of the ring knife on his waist. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out the ring knife, and he didn't even care that a piece of flesh had been cut off from his wrist, and stabbed it into the arms of the stunned captain of the pro-soldiers.

The sudden change made many guards have no time to care for these two people, and went straight to the front battlefield to rescue their general, Ma played with a handful of silk cloth in his mouth, glanced at Jia Xu, and ran towards the most fierce place with a knife on his face, and roared angrily while running: "Where is Han Wenyue, Lao Tzu is going to kill him!" ”
