Chapter 989: Slump
"Beat the drums of war, charge the whole army, and kill the Qiang people without leaving a single piece of armor!" Tai Shi Ci held the Wind and Fire Hook Heavenly Halberd, rode a lion horse, and shouted loudly to the cavalry behind him. ใ้ ใ็นใๅฐใใSay,
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty! The more than 20,000 cavalrymen all shouted, and their voices were extremely thick.
"Use a bow and arrow within a hundred paces, a repeater within a hundred steps, a spear within twenty paces, and a steel knife at close range. Open the gates! Tai Shi Ci hung the Wind and Fire Hook Heavenly Halberd on the horse's neck, took out the big bow and arrows, and immediately shouted loudly.
With an order, the west gate opened again, Tai Shici took the lead, and rushed out of the city first, and all the cavalry behind him rushed out, heading towards the Qiang people who had just been hit.
Hungry He and the others were still immersed in the huge pressure brought by the secret weapons of the Huaxia army and couldn't extricate themselves, and suddenly saw Tai Shici and the others go and return, and the tens of thousands of cavalry who rushed out of the Great Xia City knew that this was the beginning of the Huaxia army's attack.
"Blow the horn and get ready for battle!" Hungry and not retreating, he got the order of Cherrigie, even if he died on the battlefield, he couldn't take half a step back, Cherrigi even killed his own brother, they besieged Daxia City with an army of 60,000, if he was defeated again, he had only a dead end.
The cavalry around Hungry He rushed over with Hungry He, and then the infantry, these Qiang people were all strong, seeing the Huaxia Army attacking, although they had lingering fears about the explosives of the Huaxia Army, but more hatred, they all rushed up with Hungry He, and the battle was about to break out.
At this critical moment, the Shao Ge outside the East Gate heard the horn of Hungry He's charge, and immediately gathered a large army to start the official siege of the city. More than 10,000 infantry phalanx pushed the big raft to the east gate of Daxia City and began to attack it, while the cavalry on both sides ran forward with bows and arrows, constantly harassing the defenders on Daxia City under the city wall, for the arrival of the infantry phalanx. Hit cover.
Not to be outdone, the Huaxia army fired crossbows in unison, the guards commanded Ruoding, and brought out the fierce fire oil from the county government treasury to the city wall, and let people push small trebuchets to place the explosives bags properly. Then wait until the Qiang people get close and launch it.
At the beginning of the battle, the west gate of Daxia City had already met each other, and the cavalry of the Huaxia Army and the Qiang people collided directly together, and they fought on that flat land. At the east gate of Daxia City, the Qiang people occupied the initiative, and more than 20,000 Qiang people cooperated with each other to suppress the defenders with arrows as a test, and the Huaxia army symbolically counterattacked.
Then. The infantry pushed the raft directly close to the city wall, erected the raft on the city wall, formed a slope, and began to climb upward, under the city wall was a dense crowd, and the Qiang cavalry retreated to the back, covering with arrows.
Seeing this, the guards of the Huaxia army immediately ordered their subordinates to start watering the big rafts with fierce fire oil. Then the men near the city gate prepared to fire the lit explosives packs, and they and the soldiers on the city walls fought it hard. The crossbow fired a wild shot, clenching the steel knife and cutting down the Qiang people who were about to climb the city wall.
The soldiers of the Huaxia Army poured the big raft with fierce fire oil, and the fierce fire oil flowed down the big raft, and a pungent smell immediately emerged, followed by. The soldiers of the Huaxia Army lit the big raft with torches, and the entire large raft that had been erected was all burned, and some Qiang people's feet were stained with fierce fire oil, and the fire also instantly rushed to their bodies, and then burned.
"Ah......h
Burning in flames. The pain was unbearable, and many Qiang people screamed and retreated, but they didn't know that one person retreated, but the people around him were also set on fire. The Qiang people were wearing sheepskin coats, all of which were flammable items, and the weather was dry at this time, and as soon as they came into contact with the fire, they immediately burned up.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army threw out a lot of ignited explosives from the city, flew over the city tower, and landed directly in the dense Qiang camp outside the city.
"Boom! Rumble......"
The huge explosion and the burning flames all brought the Qiang people an incomparable shock.
Seeing this, Yao Ge couldn't help frowning, brandished his scimitar, and shouted loudly: "Rush! Rush up to me all of them, and if you don't take this city, no one will want to live! โ
As a result, more Qiang people began to try to attack the city, and carried new rafts on the city wall, and some even rushed to the city wall, threw it onto the city wall with a lasso, and then tied the battlements and began to climb upward. But the soldiers of the Huaxia army did not give them any chance to climb the tower, brandished steel knives, slashed the Qiang soldiers, and cut the ropes and pushed them to the rafts, so that the Qiang people could not climb the city wall.
And the sound of the explosion still did not stop, as soon as it landed in the middle of the Qiang people, it immediately exploded, more than a dozen Qiang people were either dead or wounded, limbs were everywhere, and blood stained the city gate red.
Outside the west gate of Daxia City, Tai Shi Ci led the cavalry of the Huaxia Army to fight bravely, and the blood was pouring everywhere the halberd of the wind and fire hooked the sky, and the Huaxia army hated the enemy, and the momentum was high, and the final attack was sent to the Qiang people.
Tai Shi Ci even met Hungry He, the two horses intersected, less than a one, Tai Shi Ci directly stabbed Hungry He to death under the horse, more than 20,000 cavalry gradually surrounded the Qiang people in the heart of the Kan, began to harvest the heads of the Qiang people at will.
The sun is setting, the sunset is full of sky, under a round of remnant sun, the blood outside the west gate of Daxia City is soaked in blood, the snow on the ground is melted by the blood, turning into a blood-colored swamp, the Chinese army ruthlessly trampled on the Qiang soldiers, the Qiang soldiers all refused to surrender, bravely resisted, but in front of the Huaxia army, which had the advantage of armor, it could only be to hit the stone with eggs.
Outside the east gate of Great Xia City, the battle situation was even more fierce and abnormal, the Qiang people launched a suicidal attack viciously, knowing that the resistance ahead was huge, but they did not retreat from the battle to the death, and the corpses lying under the city wall were about to pile up into a hill. And the Huaxia army, which had held on for so long, also felt a trace of exhaustion, and there were only more than 3,900 of the 5,000 soldiers who defended the city, and most of the rest died under the random arrows of the Qiang people. And the remaining more than 3,900 people are also exhausted.
The guard was bloody, and the whole person became a blood man, watching the Qiang people outside the city throwing forward and attacking, and the explosives were almost finished, and gradually felt an inexplicable pressure. He poked his head out and looked at the corpses beneath the walls. They were almost piled up to the height of the city wall, and the Qiang people no longer carried any rafts, but directly stepped on the corpses in front of them from below to climb the city wall.
Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, a place of purgatory.
The guard hurriedly shouted in a hoarse voice to the soldiers around him: "Go and inform the general, come to the east gate for reinforcements, otherwise the east gate is about to be conquered." โ
Outside the East Gate. Burning Ge looked at this scene, very excited, for him, he didn't care how many people died, what he cared about was whether he could achieve the task entrusted by the king, 60,000 troops, how to capture this city.
"Rush! Give me to continue to charge, the defenders of the Huaxia Army have shown their tired colors and continue to kill. Kill them, bitches! Victory is at hand, and when the city is broken, the king will inevitably be rewarded. He shouted, his eyes filled with greed.
Burning Ge led 3,000 cavalry to command on a high slope, and the whole person was extremely excited, seeing that he was about to capture this city, what could be more exciting than the king's reward.
Outside the west gate of Daxia City, Tai Shi Ci led more than 10,000 cavalry to launch a final attack on the Qiang people. In this big melee, the stubborn resistance of the Qiang people also brought a lot of trouble to the Huaxia army. 23,000 cavalry were dispatched, and after an hour or two of bloody fighting, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army also suffered heavy casualties, losing more than 4,100 cavalry.
At the same time, Tai Shici also felt a little different, this group of Qiang people never surrendered. Even with the high-lethality weapon of the Huaxia Army's explosives as a shock, they still regarded death as home, the big marshal died, Qu Shuai led the fight to continue, Qu Shuai died and the little marshal took over the work, and the connection between the various departments was close. Together, they are no longer the same nomads they dealt with five years ago, but like soldiers with formal training.
"General, the east gate is tight, the general asks the general to immediately lead troops to support, otherwise the east gate will be completely lost!" A scout found Tai Shi Ci from the crowd and shouted loudly.
Tai Shi Ci frowned, stood on horseback and looked around, but saw that there were still four or five thousand Qiang people left to resist stubbornly, so he said: "Let him hold on for another half an hour, and after half an hour, I will definitely lead the army to arrive in person!" โ
The scout then hurried back to the east gate, and Tai Shici continued to lead his men in battle.
The scout came to the east gate and gave Tai Shici's order to the guards, who listened to it, their faces showed embarrassment, and they gritted their teeth, and ordered: "Move all the explosives bags to the city tower, and all the soldiers go up to the city tower to defend, and hold on for another half an hour, and you must not let the Qiang people conquer it!" โ
Although the soldiers of the Huaxia army were extremely tired, but fortunately, there were explosives such a weapon with great lethality, with the order of the guard, the soldiers carried all the remaining few explosive bags, and then the remaining more than 3,000 people all went up to the city tower, divided into two groups of people, one group of people began to shoot arrows, and one group of people resisted in front, for fear of being attacked by the Qiang people.
"Don't use explosives indiscriminately, throw them in crowded places!" The guard commanded.
At this time, it was already dark night, the Qiang people did not sleep, throwing and attacking, and the huge explosions were constantly sounding, but the Qiang people did not have the slightest fear, and rushed to the city wall.
Yao Ge looked from afar, and saw that the Huaxia army seemed to be resisting violently, so he said angrily: "What are you doing to eat, come with me!" โ
After saying that, Yao Ge took the lead, picked up his longbow, mounted his arrows, and rushed towards the city gate with the three thousand cavalry guards behind him, shouting loudly while rushing: "Those who don't want to die are out of the way!" โ
There were many Qiang people who couldn't dodge, and Burning Ge didn't have the slightest appearance of dodging, so they directly rode and rushed over, knocking their subordinates into the air a lot, and the three thousand cavalry were all fresh troops, who had never participated in the battle, and had been watching the battle, and suddenly rushed over, trampled on the hill formed by the accumulation of corpses, and went to the city wall, and opened their bows and arrows, and carried out accurate shooting.
There are lights on the city tower, so that the Huaxia army is in the light, but the Qiang people are in the dark, the arrows released by Yao Ge and others are all flying from the darkness, and the soldiers of the Huaxia army can't tell which direction they are shooting from, and they are shot to death by this group of people for a while.
There was a gap in the city wall, and when the guard saw the Qiang people riding horses and stepping on the corpses on the city wall in the shadows, he was shocked and immediately shouted, "Plug the gap!" โ
At the same time, the soldier with the explosive bag threw the explosives into the cavalry ranks, and as soon as his hand was raised, the arrow pierced through it, and the explosive bag in his hand fell to the ground, and the soldier hurriedly picked it up with his other hand. Throw it out, who knows that it hasn't been thrown out yet, the lead burns too fast, and it explodes directly.
There was a loud "boom", which directly tore several soldiers who threw bombs around.
Seeing this, the bombardier on the other side immediately threw out the explosive bag. But at this time, there have been more than a dozen cavalry followed the burning Ge to the city wall, this group of people is extremely brave, all of them are one as ten, immediately killed a clearing on the city tower, burning Ge is a knife to kill the guard, and rode horses to drive away the rest of the Chinese army soldiers, they know that the Chinese army's armor is strong, so the scimitar is generally not beheaded or cut on the legs of the Chinese army soldiers, for a time the Chinese army soldiers lost a lot.
Then. The Qiang cavalry behind also immediately climbed the city tower and began to engage in melee with the exhausted Huaxia soldiers on the city wall.
"Kill! Kill me! The Great Xia City is ours! Hahaha......" Burning Ge shouted happily while killing the soldiers of the Huaxia Army.
Just as Burning Ge was still shouting freely, a cold arrow suddenly shot from the darkness, and with a "whoosh" sound, it flew directly towards Burning Ge.
By the time Burn Ge realized the danger, it was already too late, a black feather arrow. Shot him straight in the forehead, knocking him off his horse with an arrow. fell to the city wall, and rolled down again, merging with the sea of corpses and blood piled up around the city wall, and the flesh and blood trampled by the Qiang cavalry that came up from behind were blurred.
In the city, a horse galloped out, and the cavalry behind him galloped thousands of horses. Rushing directly towards the east gate, there was a faint light of fire reflected in the dim night, and Tai Shici, who had become a bloody man, fired five arrows in a row, shooting towards the Qiang cavalry standing on the city wall.
The Qiang cavalry on the city wall all fell down, and the surrounding Huaxia troops saw Tai Shici leading reinforcements to arrive. They all cheered, and the morale that had been low suddenly rose.
Tai Shi Ci dropped the big bow, raised the wind and fire to hook the sky, jumped along the stairs and jumped up the city wall, a halberd opened the way, and immediately pierced the armor on the Qiang people everywhere he went, and the cavalry behind him rushed up one after another, taking over the city defense force of the Huaxia army, and driving the Qiang people who had already climbed the city wall.
At the same time, a large number of cavalry came from the darkness, bypassed the city wall, and appeared directly in the rear of the Qiang people.
The Qiang marshal burned and died, and several Qu Shuai commanded their subordinates to fight against it, but the Huaxia army suddenly killed from behind, shouting and killing, and it was in the dark, and it was impossible to figure out how many Huaxia troops there were. It happened that at this time, Tai Shici on the city wall shouted loudly that reinforcements were coming, and the Qiang people thought that another group of Huaxia troops had come to help, and they were all frightened.
The battle had reached this point, and the Qiang people were already exhausted and could not attack the city, but there were countless casualties, and some people had already retreated. Suddenly, one of the commanders was unwilling to continue fighting, realized that the situation was not good, and took the initiative to lead his troops to retreat, and the rest of the commanders followed suit.
For a time, the defeat was like a mountain, the Qiang people ran out as if they were dead, the cavalry of the Huaxia Army chased after them, chased them all the way out of more than ten miles, beheaded more than 2,000 levels, and the Qiang people who did not have war horses everywhere were reduced to the souls of the Chinese army's swords, and the corpses were everywhere along the way.
After the victory of the battle, Tai Shi Ci asked people to be responsible for counting the battlefield, and this battle of Great Xia City really became a purgatory, 60,000 Qiang people were killed more than 50,000 people, and only a few thousand cavalry escaped, which can be described as a great victory. However, the Huaxia army also paid a heavy price, more than half of the 30,000 troops were killed and wounded, the corpses of the martyrs killed in the battle were piled up, and the stubborn resistance of the Qiang people who refused to surrender really made the Huaxia army suffer a big loss.
After dawn, Tai Shi Ci inspected the entire Great Xia City, and saw that there was a blood red within a radius of five miles, and the cold night froze the blood-colored swamps outside the West Gate into ice, and when the sun rose in the morning, the sun shone on it and glowed with red essence, which was refracted on the Great Xia City, making the Great Xia City look like a blood city.
At noon, the Huaxia army was able to finish the work of cleaning up the corpses, and the huge workload made the Huaxia army feel exhausted. In the end, all the corpses of the Qiang people were stripped and gathered together to pour fierce fire oil and burn them. For the soldiers who died in the Huaxia Army, Tai Shici asked people to dig a big pit on the spot and bury all the corpses in the mountains near Daxia City, and named it the Hero's Tomb.
It is worth mentioning that the fire that burned the Qiang people was so large that the fire was burning for three days and three nights before all the corpses were finally burned.
After that, Tai Shi Ci began to repair the city wall. and let Pound's army come to join him, preparing to wait for Pound's army to arrive, and then attack the city of Didao.
At the same time, on Baishi Mountain, Ma Chao had just received information about the arrival of the Wei army, and heard that Xiahou Yuan and Xu Shu led 29,000 troops to set up camp on a flat land between Baishi Mountain and Wurat Cave Mountain. I was very happy in my heart, and immediately said to Jiang Shi: "I will take half of the army and horses to attack the Wei army camp now, and take advantage of their unstable foothold just now, kill the Wei army by surprise, I will leave half of the soldiers and horses for you, and you have the right to hold this mountain." โ
After Jiang Shi heard this, he said: "General Tian, the Wei army is powerful, and the general only brings 5,000 people. I'm just afraid ......"
"Nope! Wang Shuang will also send troops from the Black Rat Cave Mountain at the same time, this is what I have planned with him a long time ago, once an enemy army appears between the two mountains, he will attack the enemy at the same time, since the Wei army has arrived, it is to take advantage of their long way to attack them. You just have to defend this mountain, and you will get the credit. I'll give you a share. Ma Chao interrupted Jiang Shi's words.
After Jiang Shi heard this, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, General Tian." I will definitely guard this mountain and wait for the triumphant return of the Heavenly General. โ
"Well, remember, I don't personally bring the troops back, don't let anyone into the mountain, and take the main road in the mountain." Ma Chao said with a little worry. After all, Jiang Shi is Zhang Xiu's subordinate, not his, and Jiang Shi's ability is not clear, but thinking that it should not be a problem to guard the mountain road, he is going to attack the Wei army. It must be to take away all the elite soldiers, and if you can't find the generals for a while, you can only hand them over to Jiang Shi.
"General Tian, don't worry, I will definitely guard the mountain road, and if I don't see the general come back, I will definitely not take it lightly." Jiang Shi assured.
Ma Chao nodded, and immediately gathered the elite soldiers, took away the five thousand horse infantry troops, and headed towards the Wei army camp.
Just as Ma Chao estimated, after Wang Shuang on the Black Rat Cave Mountain received the information, he immediately organized elite soldiers to go down the mountain and attack the Wei army camp according to the method agreed in advance.
The Wei army was stationed between the Black Rat Cave Mountain and the White Stone Mountain, and the distance between the two mountains was more than 50 miles, and the Wei army camp was stationed between the two mountains, where there was a flat land, suitable for camping.
In the camp of the Wei army, Xiahou Yuan gathered all the generals and was discussing how to deal with Ma Chao and Wang Shuang, when suddenly there was a gust of wind outside, and the wind broke a flagpole, and the banner fell down and almost killed someone.
After Xiahou Yuan knew that the wind had broken the flagpole, he turned his head and asked Xu Shu, saying: "Military division, our army has not yet left the division, and the strong wind has blown the flagpole off, a bad omen......"
Xu Shu smiled: "The general is wrong, this is a good omen." โ
"Good omen?"
"Exactly. I expected that when Ma Chao and Wang Shuang learned that our army was camping here, they would inevitably think that our army had not gained a stable foothold and had come from afar, so they must have been sleepy and lacking horses, and wanted to take advantage of our army's unpreparedness at night to attack the camp at night. Xu Shu said.
Xiahou Yuan nodded and said, "There is some truth in what the military advisor said, but that Ma Chao can be so smart?" โ
"Don't underestimate anyone, our army should be prepared."
"I want to hear about it."
"Hehe, this is simple, since he wants to rob the camp, let him rob it, anyway, there is nothing to ask for an empty camp, the focus is on Baishi Mountain and the Black Rat Cave Mountain, these two places are the most dangerous places, tonight we will have a shift with the Huaxia Army, he came to rob our camp, we will outwit two dangerous mountains. And, to kill Ma Chao tonight by surprise! โ
So, Xu Shu immediately said how to arrange it, and after Xiahou Yuan heard it, he laughed and said: "Sure enough, Ma Chao is a child, he has courage and no strategy, even if he can't be caught tonight, he will be defeated." โ
The discussion has been decided, Xiahou Yuan summoned two strong generals Deng Bai and Wen Ji, and immediately allocated 5,000 soldiers and horses to each of them, and went towards Baishi Mountain and Wurat Cave Mountain respectively, but they did not take the big road, but took the small road, and they had to wait for Ma Chao and Wang Shuang before they could act.
Deng Bai and Wen Ji were both Xiahou Yuan's old subordinates, and they also won Xiahou Yuan's trust, so after receiving the order, they led the troops out.
In addition, Xiahou Yuan called Cao Xiu and asked Cao Xiu to lead 10,000 horses to the north of the camp ten miles to ambush first, and he and Xu Shu only left 9,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp.
After all the soldiers were sent out, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Shu asked the soldiers to actively arrange defensive measures, and so they set up suspicious soldiers, just waiting for Ma Chao and Wang Shuang to attack.
After dark. Ma Chao quietly touched it from the direction of Baishi Mountain, picked up the telescope and looked at it from afar, but seeing that the Wei army camp was not very heavily guarded, he was overjoyed at the moment, and secretly shouted: "The Wei army is coming from afar, and the soldiers and horses are tired." As I expected, it seems that I succeeded tonight. โ
Ma Chao then ordered his subordinates to rest in place and wait until late at night before starting to act.
At night, Ma Chao watched with a telescope again, and saw that the soldiers in the camp were sleepy, and thought that the opportunity had come, so he immediately turned over and said to his subordinates behind him: "Rob the camp tonight." Regardless of the old and the young, they are all slaughtered, and they do not accept any surrender, and anyone who kills someone surnamed Cao will be rewarded. Come on! โ
As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao immediately rode his horse and galloped, carrying the Earth Fire Xuanlu Gun, and rushed towards the Wei army camp.
5,000 horse infantry troops. All of them are elite soldiers and have followed Ma Chao for many years. also knew the hatred between Ma Chao and Wei Jun, and everyone was like brothers, so he transferred the hatred to himself, and one by one with red eyes, he killed the Wei army camp.
On this side, Ma Chao was together, and Wang Shuang, who had been waiting on the left for a long time, also responded. Flanked left and right, shot the soldiers guarding the camp, removed the obstacles, opened the gate of the village, and two groups of people galloped into the camp one after the other. The two looked at each other, and immediately began to prepare to slaughter the Wei army, who knew that suddenly heard the sound of a trumpet, and the Wei army soldiers hiding in the camp tent appeared, and fired a fierce shot at the Huaxia army, which first caught Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others by surprise.
"Oops! Hit the trick! Seeing this, Wang Shuang hurriedly shouted, "Master, retreat quickly!" โ
"Where to go!" There was a shout outside the gate, Xiahou Yuan held a big sword, led a group of cavalry to block the exit of the camp, and many archers appeared outside, shooting at the Huaxia army, and at the same time the Wei army raised fire.
When Ma Chao saw Xiahou Yuan appear, he was furious in his heart, looked around, and saw that there were not many Wei troops, so he immediately ordered: "Kill!" โ
Under an order, the Huaxia army began to counterattack, and the crossbowmen quickly shot arrows, compared with the archers of the Wei army, at close range, the power was more powerful than the Wei army, specifically shooting the throat of the enemy, all of them were an arrow through the throat, and the rate of fire of the crossbow was usually fast, and there was no bow and arrow that took time to pull and shoot.
In addition, there are two kinds of crossbows in the Huaxia army, one is to shoot ten crossbow arrows at a time, and the other is to shoot one at a time, but it can be shot continuously.
Surviving in adversity has increased the combat capability of the Huaxia Army even more, and the Northwest Army is originally well-trained, so once the arrows are contested, the Wei army will fall behind.
"Shoot with an armor-piercing cone!" Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly while taking out the armor penetration cone.
He took out three armor-piercing cones and aimed directly at Ma Chao, not to mention answering, and directly shot the arrow.
Ma Chao hid in a stirrup, then dodged, and rushed towards Xiahou Yuan with the cavalry, the 10,000 Huaxia army except for some damage at the beginning, once the situation was basically stabilized, the infantry mixed together, forming a battle formation, and the cavalry rushed in all directions, taking the opportunity to kill a bloody road.
Seeing that Ma Chao was coming in person, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly abandoned his bow and sword, and immediately went to meet Ma Chao, bound to avenge the arrow.
As soon as the two people met each other, they fought together, with swords and guns raised, and both pairs of eyes were full of hatred, only caring about fighting themselves, but forgetting the environment they were in.
Seeing this from afar, Xu Shu couldn't help but be taken aback, knowing that this Xiahou Yuan was an impatient, but he didn't expect it to be so urgent, in this way, his plan was disrupted, and now there are relatively few Wei troops in the barracks, which are only suitable for long-range attacks, not for close combat, and this Xiahou Yuan suddenly put his words behind him.
"Now, I just pray that Cao Xiu can come quickly, otherwise, with the advantage of the Huaxia army, our army is afraid that it will not be able to resist for long." Xu Shu was secretly worried in his heart while directing the archers to shoot arrows.
Ma Chao was fighting fiercely with Xiahou Yuan, both of them were fighting with knives and guns, fighting with the right ones, and no one dared to approach within a few meters of the surrounding area, for fear of being injured by two people.
Wang Shuang led the cavalry to fight in a circle, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Wei army, and the big sword shot, and the head fell to the ground, which was also unstoppable.
Cao Xiu, who was ten miles away, received the signal, so he immediately led his troops to help in the battle, and the army charged forward non-stop.
Wang Shuang, with his personal bravery, led the soldiers of the Huaxia Army to kill a bloody road, seeing that the road had been blocked, but there were not many Wei soldiers in the northwest corner. Immediately overjoyed, and rushed towards that side with his soldiers. Just rushed to the gate of the village, and was about to retreat to the outside of the camp, suddenly the horse's hooves stepped into the air, and a big pit appeared on the ground, and Wang Shuang was caught off guard. It was planted directly in the big pit, and the people behind it also planted it.
The inside of the pit was full of sharpened wooden stakes, and once Wang Shuang fell into it, the stakes failed to pierce his chest due to the steel armor, but the two thighs were deeply pierced, and the horses above fell down again, crushing him to the ground, and spitting blood in his chest. Then. The cavalry that fell down one after another were stabbed by the stakes, screaming again and again, and some directly pierced the head, but instead pressed Wang Shuang directly to the bottom, and after receiving heavy blows again and again, he was out of breath, and the serious injury on his leg made it difficult for him to march. Look up at the night sky and use up the last of your strength. Roared loudly: "Master, go quickly......"
"Boom!"
There was another muffled sound, and a war horse fell directly and smashed directly on his head, and with a crisp sound, the skull was smashed and killed on the spot.
Ma Chao was fighting fiercely with Xiahou Yuan. After less than ten rounds of fighting, he heard a shout from Wang Shuang, and couldn't help but lose his heart, and after stabbing Xiahou Yuan a few times, he forced Xiahou Yuan away. He immediately glanced back, but saw that there were soldiers and horses in an open space in the northwest corner, but no one dared to move forward, presumably there was a large horse trap on the ground, but in any case, Wang Shuang's figure could not be seen, so he shouted loudly: "Wang Shuang! โ
The shouts shook the sky, no one responded, and Ma Chao couldn't help but have a hint of foreboding in his heart.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan's blade approached, and a fierce momentum slashed directly at the top of Ma Chao's head, Ma Chao was stunned and hurriedly dodged. Xiahou Yuan's blade directly cut off the helmet on Ma Chao's helmet, this knife was really dangerous.
Ma Chao was extremely resentful, his eyes were even redder, thinking that Wang Shuang was loyal to him, and now his whereabouts were unknown, his life and death were uncertain, his whole body was bruised, and he turned around and stabbed Xiahou Yuan with a shot.
Xiahou Yuan was feeling sorry for the knife just now, how could he know that Ma Chao's marksmanship was outstanding, in such a short period of time, he stabbed over, his body twisted around, and he stabbed back to the chest with a horse pistol, making it difficult for him to resist.
"Dang!"
Ma Chao's Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear directly hit Xiahou Yuan's chest, making a muffled sound, and Xiahou Yuan was also directly knocked off the horse by this sudden huge force, and fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled sound.
Xiahou Yuan originally thought that Ma Chao's return to the pistol would kill him, but he knew that Ma Chao stabbed not the head of the gun, but the tail of the gun, Rao was so, he was also poked by Ma Chao's huge blow to his internal organs, only to feel a burst of blood in his chest, and spit out blood with a wow, and a groove at the tail of the gun appeared on the armor on his chest.
Seeing this, Ma Chao was taken aback, he was disturbed by Wang Shuang just now, and he forgot that his spear was obtained upside down, and a horse pistol actually stabbed out with the tail of the gun, allowing Xiahou Yuan to pick up a bargain, and failed to kill Xiahou Yuan with one shot. He reversed the barrel of the spear, rode forward, and was about to stab Xiahou Yuan, who fell to the ground, when Xiahou Yuan's generals suddenly killed from both sides, and the soldiers hurriedly pulled Xiahou Yuan away, away from his sight.
"Xiahou Xiao'er, you don't want to escape...... Ma Chao stabbed a partial general to death with one shot, swept through thousands of troops with one move, and killed the surrounding Wei soldiers to a thorough.
However, as soon as one piece of killing was finished here, the Wei army surrounded Ma Chao again, and Ma Chao watched Xiahou Yuan disappear into the night, regretting the shot he had just made.
At this time, Cao Xiu led people to kill, and in the dark night, I couldn't tell how many people came, and the soldiers of the Huaxia army were commanded by a few partial generals, gathered together inside the camp, and fought with the Wei army, which was as steady as a rock.
Ma Chao saw that he had lost the opportunity to rob the camp, and if he was surrounded by the arriving Wei army again, he was afraid that more people would die, and after killing the people around him, he rode his horse to the camp, and with his subordinates, he immediately shouted: "The whole army retreats!" โ
An order, all the soldiers of the Huaxia Army followed Ma Chao from the southwest to kill, Ma Chao took the lead, and the cavalry behind him were all brave, and soon they killed a bloody road from the Wei army, when Cao Xiu's army arrived at the camp, Ma Chao and others had all retreated.
Cao Xiu wanted to chase, but was stopped by Xu Shu and said: "Poor Kou Mo chase, Ma Chao is very brave, he can't press, clean up the camp, clean up the battlefield, and the north will not suffer." โ
Ma Chao and others ran out of more than ten miles, only to stop, once stopped, Ma Chao immediately found Wang Shuang's general, and after asking, only to know that Wang Shuang fell into the horse pit and died, and immediately beat his chest and cried.
At this moment, Jiang Shi rushed over from the direction of Baishi Mountain with his soldiers and horses, and when he saw Ma Chao, he let out a long breath, dismounted and said, "General Tian is fine, I am relieved." โ
When Ma Chao saw Jiang Shi coming, he hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't I ask you to guard the White Rock Mountain? โ
"General Tian, didn't you send someone to report that you were trapped by the Wei army and asked me to lead the army to support?" Jiang Shi was also taken aback.
"The hateful Xu Shu has fallen for his tricks again." Ma Chao said with remorse.
Ma Chao was about to discuss the recapture of Baishi Mountain, but he saw that all the soldiers in the direction of the Black Rat Cave Mountain had also come out, and he knew that something was wrong at the moment, and both the White Stone Mountain and the Black Rat Cave Mountain had been occupied by the Wei army.
Wang Shuang was killed, and Baishi Mountain and Wurat Cave Mountain were attacked by the Wei army, and Ma Chao felt that he could not gain a foothold here, so he decided to temporarily lead the soldiers and horses to retreat to Xiangwu, preparing to regroup and fight with the Wei army again.
In the camp of the Wei army, Xiahou Yuan suffered a slight internal injury, sat in the big tent, and after receiving the battle reports from Deng Bai and Wen Ji, he laughed and said to Xu Shu: "The clever plan of the military advisor is really admired, so that our army can take two dangerous mountains without much effort." It's just that I couldn't catch Ma Chao tonight, which was actually annoying, and I almost ...... Ay! Don't say it, Ma Chao is heroic, I know today that he is not his opponent......"
"General, the inventory has been completed, our army lost more than 2,000 people in this battle, and the Huaxia army lost more than 2,000 people, and, in the trap pit, Wang Shuang's body was found, as soon as Wang Shuang died, Ma Chao was missing an arm, and it would be much easier to capture Ma Chao again." Cao Xiu came in and said.
Xu Shu pondered for a moment and said: "Shouyang County and Yan County are too close to Baishi Mountain and Wurat Cave Mountain, and they are still under the front of our army. Jicheng has sufficient grain and straw, and it is an important strategic location for our army, which must be taken. After taking it, it obtained the grain and straw, and then retreated here, where the terrain is dangerous, the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, it is much stronger than the city, and it can have a long-term confrontation with the Huaxia army. โ
After speaking, Xu Shu said to Xiahou Yuan: "General, you can order Zhang Xiu to lead all the soldiers and horses to garrison here, Di Dao City has lost its strategic significance, if the Qiang people capture Caohan and Great Xia City, the soldiers will inevitably endanger Di Dao, this is not the time to have friction with the Qiang people." โ
Xiahou Yuan nodded and said, "The military advisor is reasonable, Wen Lie, you can pass the order and let Zhang Xiu lead the troops to garrison here." โ
Cao Xiu said: "No! โ
In the Battle of Longxi, Ma Chao and Pang De all ended in defeat, and Tai Shici was also defeated despite the victory, the appearance of the Qiang people, and the conspiracy of the Wei army, directly pulled the Northwest Army into a sluggish state.
Pang De led the army and Tai Shici to join forces, and all the troops were stationed in Daxia City, while Ma Chao retreated to Xiangwu, and his morale was very low. (To be continued......)
