"General, they're all rushing over, do you want to light the fuse?" For the first time, the soldiers were shocked by this majestic posture, and I have to say that the Qiang people's iron chariot soldiers really left a deep impression on the Huaxia army yesterday, and they did not dare to let the iron chariot soldiers approach, this kind of thing can attack and defend, it is really too difficult to deal with. "≤ Ding" ≤ "≤ Xiao" ≤said, and they couldn't confront them head-on, but they didn't dare to get close, and the blades stuck in the car might scratch a certain part of their body.

"Wait! Wait until the enemy is fully on the ice. Pound visually measured the speed and distance of the Qiang people, and said.

After another moment, as the Qiang drew closer, some of the archers on the chariots began to pull their bows, ready to shoot arrows. At this moment, when Pang De saw that the 30,000-strong army of the Qiang people was completely on the ice, he ordered: "Light the fuse and retreat!" ”

At this moment, the ten people crouching behind immediately began to light the fuse. After nine of them were ignited, they immediately began to retreat, only one soldier was too nervous to accidentally extinguish the fire and could not light the fuse, he took out the flint again, and desperately began to light the fuse, while watching the iron chariot soldiers rush over, he began to fire, and as a result, an arrow flew over, shot directly in the head, and immediately fell to the ground and died.

Pound hurriedly retreated to the shore, immediately turned around, and began to shoot at the Qiang people who rushed over with a repeater in hand, and at this time, the most perfect side appeared, the whole ice surface burst into flowers, and a series of muffled sounds exploded on the ice, and the whole ice was blown up and the ground shook.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

The huge explosion sounded constantly, and the ice began to shake, and after a while, the entire ice surface began to shatter, and the cracks directly spread to the entire ice surface, and the crisp sound of the Karakala continued to sound in the ears of the Qiang people. The Qiang people were all frightened, and then, a chariot that was galloping fell directly into the ice cave, and the Qiang soldiers on the chariot and the cattle pulling the chariot all fell into the Daxia River, and the turbulent water under the ice directly washed them all away.

"Herod'......"

"Ah......h

The man shouted and the horse neighed. For a time, the Qiang soldiers in the range of explosives detonation fell into the river one after another, many Qiang people did not know what happened, did not even react, as soon as they fell into the river, they were washed away by the cold and biting river water, and some directly hit the ice, broke their heads, and died immediately.

Cherixiang was leading the cavalry to rush forward from the flank, when he suddenly saw such a scene. Suddenly taken aback, he finally controlled the frightened horses under his seat, turned his head and saw that the ice in the middle had all collapsed, and his army of more than 20,000 people had all sunk to the bottom...... My Ironchariot ......"

At this time, Jiang Jian and the others led the crowd out, and the other four lieutenants each swooped down from the hillside with a thousand horse infantry. The shouts shook the sky, and the momentum was monstrous. Let these Qiang soldiers, who were still immersed in the grief of the iron chariot soldiers sinking into the water, were all frightened when they heard it.

"Handsome! The Huaxia army has been prepared for a long time, we have suffered heavy losses, and now the Huaxia army is attacking from five directions, and the momentum is huge, when we quickly avoid its edge, let's retreat! "A Qu Shuai saw the scene today. Said worriedly.

"Huh!"

Che Lixiang took the golden knife and beheaded the Qu Shuai with a knife to show the public, and shouted loudly: "If you dare to retreat again, you will not be forgiven, and I will rush forward." Avenge the dead of your clansmen! ”

As soon as the words fell, Che Lixiang immediately swung his knife and rushed towards Jiang Jian and the others, and the cavalry behind him also followed.

At this time, Pound returned to the gate of Lao Crow Pass, and the five hundred cavalry had already been prepared, took his broadsword from the soldier's hand, turned on his horse, and rushed towards Che Lixiang with the five hundred cavalry.

The Chinese army hated the same enemy, the Qiang people had no iron chariot soldiers, and were frightened by the momentum of the Chinese army, only a moment of fighting, the Qiang people turned their horses and left, Che Li Xiang immediately beheaded three fleeing Qiang soldiers, but still could not control the situation, and those cavalry on the right flank had already fled without a trace.

Che Li Xiang saw Pang De rushing over, expected to be unable to resist, was about to turn the horse to walk, suddenly the direction of the old crow pass came from the sound of the horn, the sound of the horn is far and deep, it is the Qiang King Cheriji habitual charge, the rear of the crow pass also appeared at the same time the wolf head of the Qiang king, countless cavalry overflowed the hillside, like ants like arrows shot from the back of the crow pass, shouting to kill also suddenly loud.

"Hahaha...... It's the king's army that has arrived, kill me, move forward bravely, and leave no one behind! Seeing this, Che Lixiang was immediately excited, and when the Qiang soldiers heard the sound of the horn, they were all like chickens, and they were suddenly full of energy, and the two thousand fleeing cavalry on the right flank also retreated at the same time and quickly joined the battle.

Pang De was suspicious for a while, and when he turned around, he saw that the subordinates in the Crow Pass had escaped in embarrassment, and at a glance, he saw that the big silk embroidered with the wolf's head symbolizing the banner of the King of Xiqiang was inserted in the Crow Pass, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

At this time, the soldiers in the city were chased out by the Qiang cavalry, and the mountains were full of Qiang cavalry, although the soldiers in the city struggled to resist, they were still not the opponents of a large number of Qiang people, and were forced into the Daxia River by the cavalry, either killed, or washed away by the river, and the more than 1,000 soldiers became corpses in an instant.

The Huaxia army was fighting with Che Lixiang and others, the strength was equal, and the Qiang people were all moving forward bravely, and it was difficult to resist for a while, Jiang Jian hurriedly rode his horse to Pang De's side, and said: "Jiang Yin, the Qiang King Cheriji led the army to arrive, our army cannot resist, we should retreat quickly, temporarily return to Jincheng, and then make plans." ”

"Damn! How did it come to this? If our army retreats, I am afraid that the Great Xia City of the Great General will also be in danger. Pound said resentfully.

"Great Xia City is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although there are many Qiang people, but the generals and soldiers are well fed, and the gunpowder they bring is also sufficient, enough to resist the Qiang army, we should withdraw from the battle immediately to reduce unnecessary casualties, first go back to Jincheng to rectify the soldiers and horses, and then it is not too late to fight!" Jiang Jian suggested.

Pang De looked around the battlefield, and saw that the cavalry of the Qiang people was trying to move closer to this side, and if they didn't leave, they were afraid that they would be surrounded, so he immediately ordered: "Tell the whole army, retreat!" ”

At the sound of an order, the voice came out in a solitary manner. The Huaxia army immediately fled to the northwest, Pang De took the lead, rushed to the front, and fought a bloody way out of the many Qiang people, Jiang Jian and other more than 5,000 horse infantry troops all followed Pang De to withdraw.

Che Lixiang led people to pursue, and harvested more than 300 heads of the Huaxia Army along the way. In the end, after the bloody battle of the Huaxia army, the army gradually lost the opportunity to pursue Pound, so he retreated back to Lao Yao Pass.

When Cherixiang returned to Lao Yao Pass, Che Li Ji had already led the guard team to wait at the gate of Lao Yao Pass, and his face was gloomy.

"Your Majesty, you came too timely, if you come a little later, I'm afraid I'll lose this battle." Che Lixiang held a few human heads in his hand and threw them directly on the ground. Turning over and dismounting, he came to Cherrigi's side and said happily.

Cheriji glanced at Cherixiang with sharp eyes, his face was gloomy, and there was a kind of anger in his eyes, and he said directly to Cherixiang: "Kneel!" ”

Cherry froze for a moment, stood in place and looked at Cherrigi puzzled, before he had time to ask. The warriors around Cherrigi forcibly pressed Cherriji to the ground.

"What are you doing here, my lord?" Cherry asked, puzzled.

"What? I will hand over all the iron chariots to you to lead. How did you bring it? Actually let the iron car soldiers be wiped out, the iron car soldiers are my years of painstaking training, I wanted to use this time as a strange soldier on the body of the Huaxia army, but what have you done? Someone came, beheaded Che Lixiang for public display, and hung the head on my wolf's head. as a sign of punishment. Cherrigie looked at Cherry Xiang fiercely, his heart was dripping blood, even if he killed Cherry Xiang a thousand times, it would not be too much!

Seeing that Cherrigi was real, Cherry immediately begged for mercy: "Big brother." I know it's wrong, please spare me this time, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, the iron chariot soldiers are gone, we can still practice, but you are my younger brother, if I die, you will have no relatives......"

"Shut up! As the king of Xiqiang, the herdsmen of all tribes in Xiqiang are my brothers and relatives, you have committed a great crime, and you have not officially attacked the Chinese army, so you have first damaged my elite division, what is the use of keeping you? Come on, pull Cherixiang down and behead the public. Cherrigi's gloomy eyes didn't even blink, and although his voice was not loud when he spoke, it gave people a great deterrent.

As soon as the voice fell, the warrior immediately drew his scimitar, and without waiting for Cherrixiang to beg for mercy again, he beheaded Cherishong on the spot to show the public, and a human head fell, and a lot of blood sprayed out of the cavity, splashing the ground, dyeing Cherrigi's feet a crimson color.

Cheriji stood there, his face calm, from beginning to end, his eyelids did not even blink, he looked around at the other tribes, and saw that they all had a trace of fear on their faces, so he said: "Hang the head of Cherixiang on the wolf's head of this king, and whoever does not do his best in the future will be killed!" ”

The rest of the tribes were silent for a while, and Cherrigi made them feel different from the original Qiang kings of the tribes, this man was insidious, vicious, and full of courage.

The six people of Midang, Hunger He, Burning Ge, Fatong, Moth Blocking, and Zhi Wudai are the commanders of the six major tribes, and even when they saw it, they were all frightened and felt sorry for Che Lixiang. Although Che Lixiang is a little arrogant, it is not useless, at least the iron chariot soldier is the first thing he thought of, and he trained it single-handedly. It is precisely because of the existence of the iron chariot soldiers that Che Li Xiang became the seventh marshal, and Che Li Xiang's death was also because of the demise of the iron chariot soldiers, which really responded to the words of the Han people, and Xiao He defeated Xiao He.

After the unification of the Qiang tribes, Cheriji clearly stipulated that the Qiang nationality had only one king, and under the king, the positions of the chief marshal, the qu marshal, the small marshal, the general, the school, and the lieutenant were set up to lead the tribes respectively, and gradually transitioned to the feudal society of the Han people. As for the high level of force of Cherrigi himself, it is still a mystery. More than ten years ago, the noble first warrior of Xiqiang once competed with Cherrigi for the throne of the king of Qiang, but in front of Cherrigi, he was vulnerable, and he was captured by Cherrigi in just one round.

The Qiang people advocate force, and when Midang was defeated by Cheriji, the rest of the tribal elders of Zhong Cunqiang thought that Cheriji's blood was not pure enough, and refused to recognize Cherrigi as the king, and was killed by Cheriji on the spot, and solemnly declared that from now on, he Cherrigi was the Qiang king of Zhong Cunqiang. Others couldn't stop it, so they had to let Cherry Jirong be the king of Qiang.

After Cheriji succeeded Zhong Cunqiang's King of Qiang, he began a ten-year period of recuperation, refusing to participate in all struggles, claiming that peace is the mainstay, and that no one will offend me and I will not offend, and he spent a lot of money to study in the Central Plains. Learn a set of methods for Han Chinese governance. Zhong Cunqiang's people originally thought that Cherrigi was timid and fearful, but it was not until later that they gradually understood that his series of plans for recuperation and recuperation had indeed brought a lot of benefits to Zhong Cunqiang.

In 184 AD, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the Central Plains was in turmoil. Later, Beigong Boyu entangled Qianghu in Liangzhou to rebel against the Han Dynasty, and also contacted Zhong Cunqiang at that time, but was rejected by Cheriji. Since then, for more than ten years, Liangzhou has been in turmoil, and the rest of the Qiang people have surrendered to the judgment and become enemies of the Han Dynasty, but Zhong Cunqiang has always been a vassal to the Han Dynasty and asked for subordination. and refused to take part in all the battles between the Qiang people.

If you don't participate, it doesn't mean that Zhong Cunqiang doesn't have this strength, and once again burned Dangqiang to deliberately find fault, but was defeated by Cheriji with his troops, and no one dared to attack Zhong Cunqiang from then on, so that Zhong Cunqiang slowly accumulated strength. Moreover, the Qiang tribes fought among themselves, and many Qiang people who did not want to suffer from the war fled into the relatively stable territory of Zhong Cunqiang. Not only is it well protected, but you can also eat and drink without worrying. It has become a paradise among the Qiang people.

Until five years ago, Cao Cao bewitched the Qiang people to rebel, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Qiang people of various tribes, and then Xu Shu went to Zhong Cunqiang in person to win over Zhong Cunqiang to support the restored Wei State. There were many promises of benefits, but in the end Cherrigi only put forward one condition. It is to help him become the king of Xiqiang.

As a result, Wei sent people to persuade the Qiang people of various tribes, and Cheriji sent troops to threaten, and finally all the tribes of the Qiang people were unified in Zhongcunqiang, and Cheriji also became the rightful king of Xiqiang. Afterwards. In order to disintegrate the various Qiang people, Cheriji agreed to the proposal of the Wei State to move the Qiang people to Guanzhong, where they were the people and cultivated the land of the Han people.

I have to say that some of the methods of Cherrigi have indeed strengthened the Qiang people, and through the threat of force, they have continuously obtained a lot of benefits from the Wei State, such as money, grain, cloth, tea, silk, porcelain, etc., all of which are imperceptibly changing the lives of the Qiang people. It can be said that Cherrigi is a semi-Sinicized Qiang person, and he used the method of the Han people to inform the entire Xiqiang that he has achieved his current results.

In their impressions, there has never been any Qiang king who can do this, so although he is not Zhong Cunqiang's person, he is also willing to work hard for Cheriji, because the Qiang people have the same ancestors and the same roots, and they are a family.

"King, now that Pang De has been defeated and our army's elite has been lost, do you still want to attack Great Xia City?" As the first marshal, Mi Dang is under one person, above 10,000 people, and his status is second only to Cherrigi.

"Great Xia has become a lonely city, how can you not fight? Since the war is waged against the Huaxia Army, it must be fought thoroughly! However, our goal is not here, but Jicheng. Hungry, burning! Cherrigi exclaimed.

"What does the king command?" Hungry He and Burning Ge shouted in unison.

"Each of you will lead 30,000 cavalry, go to the outside of Daxia City, surround Daxia City, attack together before and after, and officially attack the city from tomorrow, day and night, no matter how many troops are consumed, you must take down Tai Shici's head, and kill Tai Shici, which is enough to make the enemy frightened!" Cherrigi Road.

Hungry He and Yao Ge hugged their fists and said: "Yes, king!" ”

"Go ahead!"

At this time, Va Tong's subordinates walked over from the ice of the Daxia River, took out more than a dozen bags of explosives and came to Va Tong's side, and said: "Dashuai, this thing was found on the ice, it is said that the Huaxia Army used this thing to collapse such a thick ice surface. ”

Vatong took a look, took a closer look, and immediately smelled a pungent smell, and hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”

"I don't know ......"

Cherrigi squinted, glanced at it, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it to me!" ”

Vatong handed one of the explosives bags to Cherrigi, who studied it and didn't see anything famous, so he immediately drew his knife and picked open the explosives pack, and when he saw a lot of black powder coming out of it, he frowned and said suspiciously: "Black soil? ”

He crouched down, twisted a little with his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and when he felt a pungent smell, he said, "What the hell is this?" How did the Huaxia Army use this thing, who knows? ”

A soldier volunteered, then walked to the ice with a fire breaker and a bag of explosives, and began to light the fuse, and then stood there, heard the sneering of the fuse, and pointed to the fuse and said: "King Qiqi, this is how the Huaxia army set them on fire." It's ...... my own eyes."

Before the Qiang soldier finished speaking, the lead had already been burned, and then with a loud "boom", there was an explosion, which blew the Qiang soldier apart, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Cherrigi looked at it. I couldn't help but be extremely surprised, and then I laughed wickedly, and said, "Give this thing to the craftsmen who accompany the army, ask them what it is made of, and then make me some, the more the better." ”

"Yes, my lord."

"Summoning the order, let's rest around the Crow Pass tonight. Sweep the battlefield, tomorrow will go in the direction of Jicheng, take advantage of the Huaxia army and the Wei army in Baishi Mountain to fight, our army to sneak attack Jicheng, as long as you get the grain and grass in Jicheng, even if our army does not take the entire Liangzhou, it is a victory. Cherrigi slapped the gunpowder on his hand and ordered.

…………

Great Xia City.

Pound lost two in a row at the city of Zaohan. The loss of troops was close to 5,000, and the news reached the city of Great Xia. Tai Shi Ci felt like he had heard a thunderclap, and he felt incredible.

Tai Shi Ci immediately ordered: "The Qiang people are menacing, it seems that they cannot be underestimated, and the order will be passed down, and all the cities of Great Xia will actively prepare for war to prevent the Qiang people from attacking." ”

"No!"

The order has not yet been communicated. Another scout came in and hurriedly reported: "General, the Qiang people are rushing towards Daxia City from Lao Yao Pass, and there are many soldiers and horses. There were about sixty or seventy thousand cavalry. ”

"It's really fast, the Qiang people are shrewd. The order went down, and immediately asked people to prepare according to the original plan, and first give the Qiang people a dismount, so that the Qiang people know the strength of our Huaxia army. ”

"No!"

Tai Shi Ci also hurriedly put on his armor and armor, personally climbed the tower of Daxia City, commanded the arrangement of defensive measures, and was busy from noon to evening, and finally all of them were done, just waiting for the Qiang people to attack the city.

At dusk, a large number of Qiang people arrived outside the city of Daxia under the leadership of Hungry He and Shaoge, but they did not rush to attack, but according to Cherrigi's instructions, they first set up a camp outside, rested for a night, and waited for tomorrow to fight again, while Yaoge led half of the cavalry around the back of Daxia City and set up camp.

Tai Shi Ci saw that the Qiang people were not in a hurry to attack the city, and it was divided into two camps in the front and rear, so he expected that the Qiang people wanted to attack the front and rear, so he hurriedly made corresponding strategic adjustments, just waiting for the Qiang people to attack the city.

On a cold black morning in the first month, the sun has not yet come out, in the sky behind the eastern mountain, a few thick clouds are as thin as the edge of light silk, lined with light red glow, after a while, the mountain peak is reflected red, and then stop for a while, the fire-like round wheel slowly and completely reveals its huge golden body, the red flame illuminates the earth, and the red light gradually turns into a pure white strong light, and the day begins.

Inside and outside the city of Great Xia, the arrows are tense, the black pressure of the Qiang soldiers will be the only two gates of the entire Great Xia City to block the water leakage, the east and west gates are closed, the city wall is lined with crossbowmen, the banner of the Huaxia army flutters in the wind, ready to meet the Qiang people at any time.

Tai Shi Ci stood on the tower of the west gate, looking at the Qiang soldiers outside, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately ordered: "Open the city gate!" ”

The order was conveyed, the city gates of the east gate and the west gate were completely opened, the straight streets in the city ran through the east and west gates, the soldiers of the Huaxia army all stood on both sides of the street, the shield soldiers stood in the first line, the pikemen put the spears in their hands on the shields, and on the eaves on both sides of the street, there were many crossbowmen, 30,000 troops, around the city wall and the main road in the city showed bravery.

Hungry He is at the west gate, burning Ge at the east gate, when the city gate is opened, the two of them are puzzled, ordinary siege, just to knock on the city gate, but today the Huaxia army deliberately opened all the city gates, but it was beyond their expectations, and they felt a little uninteresting, and they couldn't guess the meaning.

Hungry He rode on horseback, looked at the past from a distance from the west gate, and passed through the streets of Nede in Daxia City, he could vaguely see Yao Ge and others in the east of the city.

"Handsome! What does Huaxia Jun want to do? It seems a little abnormal......" A Qu Shuai rode to Hungry He's side and reminded.

Hungry He looked at the Huaxia army and said: "The Huaxia army is suspicious, thinking that this will make us scared, dare not attack, want to delay time, and then wait for reinforcements." In any case, the Huaxia army only has 30,000 soldiers and horses in Daxia City, and our army has 60,000, which is twice as much as the Huaxia army. Blow the horn, rush in, kill the Huaxia army without leaving a piece of armor, I want to take off Tai Shici's head and sit on a stool! ”

Then the trumpet sounded, and the burning of the horses at the east gate had always been the first to be seen. As soon as he heard that Hungry He blew the horn, he also ordered the horn to be sounded. The sound of the horns on both sides was intertwined, singing and harmonizing, playing a beautiful music, which made the 60,000 Qiang people excited.

"Charge!" Hungry He armed himself with a scimitar and rode his horse to the side of the road. He swung his scimitar forward and shouted loudly.

At the same time, Burn Ge also commanded his men to charge forward, and the Qiang cavalry all shouted, drew their longbows, mounted arrows, and galloped forward on horseback.

On the walls of Great Xia City, the archers released arrows, and the crossbowmen continued to hide behind the female walls. Never wait for the enemy to come within range.

For a while, the arrows were like rain, Taishi Ci personally held the bow and arrow and shot five arrows in a row, shooting three times in a row, there was no false shot, and everywhere the arrows went, the Qiang people all fell off their horses.

Three thousand Qiang cavalry took the lead in rushing over. Under the strong bow and crossbow, there were many casualties. But there were still more than 2,000 horsemen rushing into the city gate, who knew that as soon as they entered the city, crossbow arrows were fired on both sides, and the intensity was even more powerful than that on the city tower, shooting down rows of cavalry, and they had no choice but to do so. I had to quickly withdraw from the city.

Hungry He and Yao Ge couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that the three thousand cavalry they sent could not resist under the dense arrows. At this time, Yao Ge temporarily stopped the attack, and came to the west gate with a group of cavalry, and said to Hungry He: "The enemy's arrow array is powerful. The city is also full of crossbowmen, although our army has suffered more than a thousand casualties, but if it is stormed, it will definitely not work, do you have any way? ”

Hungry He thought for a while and said: "Then you can only use a shield, now go and cut down the trees, and then tie the trees into a large raft, set them up, and use people to push them over, you can resist the enemy's arrows, and you can also hide soldiers below." Then, make some small wooden shields, let the warriors hold them, and quickly rush into the city. ”

"Very well, I can go and command my subordinates." After burning Gono, he immediately returned to the east gate and began to order the Qiang soldiers to go up the mountain and cut down trees.

Tai Shici looked at it from afar, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's not what I expected......"

Putting down the binoculars, Tai Shici shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Go and prepare the explosives, and wait for the dispatch of General Ben at any time!" ”

"No!"

Both armies were busy, but the Qiang soldiers were busier in comparison.

Two hours later, when it was nearly noon, Tai Shici saw that the Qiang people were still busy making rafts, wooden shields and other things, so he ordered his subordinates to start eating alternately.

After noon, the Qiang people were tired for most of the day, and were burying the pot to make food, resting on the spot, and everyone gathered in a group, people were sleepy and tired, and they looked sluggish.

After Tai Shici saw such a scene from the telescope, he smiled and said, "The opportunity has come!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Tai Shici immediately went down to the city tower, personally selected 4,000 cavalry, took 2,000 cavalry at the west gate, and divided 2,000 cavalry to be led by his partial generals.

Hungry He and Burning Ge are not stupid, naturally there are soldiers left to guard the gates of Daxia City, and as soon as they saw the Huaxia army rushing out, they immediately went to meet the five thousand cavalry.

Tai Shi Ci and the others were not afraid at all, this time they were all the four thousand soldiers with the strongest arm strength that he carefully selected, in order to exert the greatest power and make the speed faster, so this time the soldiers were wearing a thin layer of leather armor, dragging the reins of the horse in one hand, carrying the explosive bag in the other, risking the arrows to ignite the explosive bag in his hand, and then throwing it forward forcefully into the camp of the Qiang people.

The Qiang people's arrows were dense, and the two or three hundred cavalry who rushed to the front had no time to throw the explosives out, and they had already been shot through the body, but the cavalry were brave and hard, and threw the explosives bag out in pain, and some of them were not ignited, so they simply rushed directly into the camp of the Qiang people, and then lay on horseback, and when they were about to arrive, they ignited the explosives bag.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Boom ......"

Countless huge explosions sounded in the cavalry ranks of the Qiang people, and many Qiang people were torn apart before they could figure out what was going on, and the horses under the seats were frightened and began to run around, and for a time the Qiang camp suddenly collapsed. At this time, Tai Shici and the others began to slowly rush over several layers of echelons behind, and when the Qiang people who were responsible for resisting fled in all directions, they began to wield their blades to harvest the heads of the Qiang people at will, and while killing the Qiang people, they ran towards the Qiang camp on the hillside.

The Qiang people went up the mountain to cut down trees, and most of the war horses under the seat stayed at the bottom of the mountain. The mountain roads were rugged, and there were dangerous places covered with snow, and as soon as the Qiang people on the mountain were frightened, they all came down from the mountains immediately, and they did not have time to eat.

However, how could their two legs outrun the four-legged war horses, and the cavalry responsible for resisting the Huaxia army could not play a role. was also scattered, and the Huaxia army drove straight in.

Tai Shi Ci divided 500 men and left the explosives on the way down the mountain, and he took the remaining more than 1,000 people to drive the Qiang people's war horses and drove them all to the city of Great Xia.

The Qiang people wanted to go down the mountain, the Huaxia army blocked the road with explosives, and the road down the mountain was in a mess, and the Qiang people on the mountain were afraid of the power of the explosives, so they also stopped and no longer rushed down the mountain. And at the same time. The soldiers of the Xia army in Daxia City all appeared, lined up outside the city, for fear that the wandering Qiang people would come and snatch the horses, as long as they saw the Qiang people coming, they used their crossbows to shoot, and shot down many Qiang cavalry who tried to compete in vain.

The whole operation, if the wind and clouds are broken, Tai Shici will command it. With lightning speed, he drove tens of thousands of war horses to the city of Great Xia, and even brought back his own dead soldiers. For a time, more than half of the almost 100,000 war horses brought by the Qiang people were driven to the city of Great Xia by the Huaxia army, and some were frightened and fled in all directions, scattered in the wilderness outside the city.

Daxia City was originally a big city on the Daxia River, and it was also an important place for troops, and the city was strong. The terrain is precarious. If it weren't for the small number of Wei troops and the freezing of the Great Xia River, Tai Shi Ci would never have captured this city so quickly. The solidity of Daxia City can be compared with Di Dao, the county city of Longxi, during the period of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty. It even became the county seat of Longxi County for a time, so it was easy to accommodate tens of thousands of war horses.

In the course of the army, the gates of Daxia City were immediately closed, and the Huaxia army captured more than 60,000 war horses at the cost of very small casualties, which was indeed a great victory.

"The Qiang people are a nation on horseback, and losing their horses is equivalent to losing their legs, this time I will see what the Qiang people do, hahahaha......" After Tai Shici entered the city, he climbed the city tower again, and saw that Hungry He's face was blue and red for a while, so he laughed out loud.

Half an hour later, the Qiang finally came down from the hillside, but they had no intention of retreating, but formed a formation on their own, and after a while, the Qiang people, who had lost their horses, gathered into a huge infantry phalanx, and the soldiers who were sent out to look for horses also brought back their horses, reorganized the cavalry, and scattered them on both flanks of the infantry.

After Tai Shi Ci saw it, he felt very curious, according to his understanding of the Qiang people, these people lost their horses, they should retreat, but what he saw was that the Qiang people not only did not retreat, but gathered into an infantry phalanx, which looked quite tasteful, and pushed the big wooden platoons made and marched forward.

"Strange! How did this group of Qiang people learn the combat methods from the Han people? After Tai Shici saw it, he frowned, and faintly felt that there was something wrong, maybe it would be a bad battle.

"Fix the arrow!" When Tai Shi Ci saw that the Qiang people had gathered their offensive again, they advanced with an infantry phalanx, pushing a tall raft in front, and the soldiers were hiding under the big raft, so he immediately shouted loudly.

An arrow was fired, and the arrow made a mark on the snow.

After Tai Shi Ci saw it, he couldn't help frowning, the Qiang people pushed the big raft forward, and even if the arrow was shot, it would be blocked out.

He immediately went down to the city tower, gathered the cavalry again, and asked people to take out the fierce fire oil from the treasury of the county government, and he himself led 2,000 cavalry to rush out of the city again with explosives bags, preparing to use explosives to deal a major blow to the Qiang people.

"Rush!"

Tai Shici gave an order, and led two thousand cavalry to rush out of the city gate.

At this time, the Qiang people suddenly stopped advancing, and the big raft blocked the sight of Tai Shici and the others, and they couldn't see the situation inside, so that they couldn't estimate what the people inside were doing.

Suddenly, countless arrows shot out from the infantry phalanx of the Qiang people, flying densely into the sky, like countless flying locusts, shooting towards the Great Xia City overwhelmingly.

Tai Shi Ci felt a little uneasy when he saw the arrows flying from the top of his head, this Qiang people's way of fighting has always had no group interests, but today, the Qiang people were hugged together, and they were dispatched after listening to it.

"This army is not simple......

The war horse galloped, Tai Shici had already left the city gate, and he couldn't command the soldiers in the city, but if the soldiers in the city couldn't dodge by themselves, they would be stupid.

Tai Shi Ci looked at the front with a tiger's eye, and was about to rush to the big raft, when suddenly the raft blocking the battle formation of the Qiang soldiers was torn apart to both sides, and the Qiang people who were waiting for the battle were all holding big bows and full of bowstrings, and then after hearing the order of the surrounding Qu Shuai, ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time, shooting towards Tai Shi Ci and others.

"Oops!" When Tai Shici saw such a scene, he remembered that the subordinates he brought out were only wearing ordinary leather armor, and in the face of such a powerful arrow array, he was afraid that he would lose a lot of soldiers and horses.

In a hurry, Tai Shici immediately turned around and shouted, "Scatter!" ”

At the sound of an order, the two thousand cavalry immediately dispersed into two groups, on the left and right flanks, and then continued to charge towards the camp of the Qiang people, but many cavalry behind them were already shot to the ground with men and horses, and there was a wail.

After the Qiang people released an arrow, the archers immediately dispersed to both sides, and the pikemen behind the archers were directly lined up in a row, blocking the first line.

In the battle formation of the Qiang people, another group of archers immediately released arrows, and the dense rain of arrows shot towards Tai Shici and the others, and shot many soldiers of the Huaxia Army.

Taishi Ciyi was bold, pulled out the steel knife in his waist, kept waving, cut off a lot of arrows, and saw that he was about to rush to the front of the Qiang people's formation, so he came to hide in a stirrup, ignited the prepared explosives, and then threw it into the Qiang people's camp with force.

The rest of the cavalry threw explosives out one after another, and once more than a thousand explosive bags fell into the camp of the Qiang people, they immediately produced a huge effect among the Qiang people, and the huge explosions continued to sound, and the infantry phalanx of the Qiang people immediately collapsed, and many people began to flee in all directions, and the army that was finally assembled collapsed in an instant.

Seeing this, he couldn't control it, he didn't know what the Huaxia army was throwing, but this kind of thing was huge, it was too amazing, such a small thing was thrown in, at least more than 20 people could be killed and injured, and the people around him also seemed very frightened, more than 1,000 explosives were thrown in the infantry phalanx, and more than 5,000 Qiang people immediately turned into a pile of flesh and blood, and they were killed, and hundreds of injured people sat on the ground and kept screaming.

"Withdraw!" Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, exchanging more than 900 people for the lives of more than 5,000 Qiang people, which was very worthwhile, and he also saw that the faces of the hungry people were full of horror, and his goal was achieved.

The Qiang people were crushed, only sporadic arrows were chasing Tai Shici and others, but they were all blocked, unable to cause damage, the result of ten thousand arrows was that a large number of arrows were shot on the ground, and the people who were really shot dead were only more than 900 people.

When the soldiers of the Huaxia Army went back, when they passed by the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, they stretched out their long arms, scooped up the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, and then clamped them under their armpits and returned to the city smoothly.

As soon as Tai Shici and the others returned to the city, they immediately organized their subordinates to ride on the horses of the plundered Qiang, leaving 5,000 people to guard the east gate, and he himself took more than 20,000 people in armor and began to go out of the city again, holding swords, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Qiang people who were hungry outside the west gate.
