Chapter 1371: Di Dao
Didaw.
Di Dao is like a barometer of the strength of the Chinese farming people and nomads, when the farming nation is strong, Di Dao is the seat of Xiliang, and the tentacles will extend to the Western Regions, but once the nomads have the upper hand, Di Dao will often become the first batch of cities to be invaded and attacked.
Quinoa Xiangli has really accelerated the speed of travel as much as possible, but the heavy snow has increased the difficulty of the march, so that Quinoa Xiangli can not rely on the power of the war horse machine as quickly as before, and the soft snow layer that is deep in the calf not only makes it difficult for people and horses to travel, but also because there is no sufficient food and grass supply, resulting in every section of the journey is extremely difficult.
Quinoa Xiangli also considered that Jiang might send troops to come to sneak attack, but after the broken team lay in ambush for two days and did not see any movement, they all gave up the detection of the back road, because of such a distance, Quinoa Xiangli thought that even if Jiang wanted to catch up, it was almost impossible.
And the more time passes, the more impossible it is for the Han people to catch up, which is the common sense of fighting against the Han people over the years.
Therefore, the most important thing in Quinoa's heart now is not to focus on guarding against the pursuit of the Han people, but how to boost the morale of the Qiang people, and then how to bring more people back to their homes!
Quinoa Xiangli has begun to constantly preach that the main responsibility for this failure is because of Ma Chao. didn't plan well, didn't estimate, didn't go all out, and was the first to retreat, etc., all the sins, all the guilt was put on Ma Chao's head, anyway, Ma Chao was dead, and it was impossible to come out and argue with Quinoa Xiangli.
Kill the Golden City!
Plundering the wealth of the Ma Chao family to appease the resentment and dissatisfaction of the Qiang people has become the inevitable choice of quinoa.
Although this will lead to the decline of Quinoa Xiangli's reputation among the Xiliang Han people, where can Quinoa Xiangli take care of these now, first go through the current suffering, and then have the opportunity to ease it later.
The quinoa has even been distributed, and he and his own tribe's master take fifty percent of it, and then let the remaining fifty percent be distributed by these Qiang tribes who follow them, so that their tribes can remain strong, and at the same time, they will not let these Qiang tribes who follow have nothing......
The road was cold, and the quinoa was in Jixian County, although he held back a mouthful of blood and did not spit it out, maintaining the only trace of dignity left, but it was actually not as good as spitting it out. Feeling extremely resentful, coupled with worries about the future, this way, the past was like an iron quinoa to profit, and I couldn't help but fall ill.
In order not to affect the morale of the army, and in order not to let the other Qiang tribal leaders have any covetous hearts, Quinoa Xiangli still insisted on marching in the queue every day, and even in order to make the tribe more confident, Quinoa Xiangli had to rub some blood on his face every day, so that his face would not be too pale.
Of course, quinoa is not so confused as to cut its own blood to coat it.
The exertion of the road aggravated Quinoa's condition, but seeing that Didao was in front of him, and Quinoa's worries were about to be solved, he finally slept well.
It's a pity that this good mood was ruined before the next morning, and Quinoa Xiangli was awakened by the news of the scout sentry, and he got the news that there were Han people behind him!
Quinoa Xiangli was very puzzled, and asked the scout carefully, "Where is this enemy?" Is it from Ji County? ”
"No, I didn't see Jiang's battle flag, only the black and red battle flag! Not even a surname! The scout replied helplessly.
Quinoa frowned and said, "How many are there?" ”
"So far, there are only three or four hundred people......
"Huh......" Quinoa breathed a sigh of relief, "Let Riza lead a team of 1,000 people to meet it!" Strangled this group of Han people! ”
With a three-to-one comparison of combat power, even if it can't completely annihilate the pursuing Han army, it can at least hit it far away and expel it......
Quinoa Xiangli thought so, but what happened next was beyond his expectations.
When he climbed up a hill and saw the battle breaking out in the rear, he couldn't help but be surprised! Rizha with a thousand people, it is indeed numerically advantageous, but in front of the attacking Han people, it is like a thousand sheep without a clue, with only two horns, both of which are used and scolded by their own people, and when facing the Han people, they are weak and vulnerable......
Although the number of Han people is not large, they are extremely brave, shouting and slashing the Qiang people at the same time, and the shouting and killing are deafening. A battle flag with red stripes on a black background fluttered on the hillside in the distance, without a surname, but Quinoa Xiangli knew that it must be the location of the Han generals who were chasing and killing.
Because of the snow and the soft ground, the war horses couldn't run at all, and they couldn't even walk as fast as people. After all, the ankles of war horses are fragile, and if they accidentally step on a hole in the soft snow, it will almost be the end of broken bones and tendons, so the Qiang people simply walk, anyway, the number of Han people is not much.
But with only these three or four hundred people, these Han people can wantonly slash and kill under his nose, which is simply what Quinoa Xiangli's uncle can endure, but his aunt can't bear it! Quinoa decided to gather troops again and take this opportunity to kill these Han people here, so as to avoid worries and improve the morale of some Qiang people.
In the sound of the long horn, the somewhat flustered Qiang people gradually took action, according to the command of Quinoa Xiangli, the other two thousand troops began to kill from the valley, around the mountains and forests to the side of the Han general's banner, ready to outflank and intercept, and the Rizha troops who were facing it head-on also seemed to have taken a shot of chicken blood, and they were more or less excited to fight.
Riza was both a little nervous and a little excited. He has been following quinoa for many years, and he has always been stuck in the position of Qianrenchang, he thinks that his martial arts are good, and he has so many years of meritorious service, but he has not been able to get a chance to enter the high-level of the Qiang people, which has become a regret that he will never forget, and now, it seems that the opportunity is suddenly displayed in front of him, as long as the thorny Han army in front of him is annihilated, maybe he can succeed with this feat!
Think about it, even the other Qiang heads have not made any gains under Ji County, but Tarizha can defeat the Han troops, what is this not an iron-clad feat?
While thinking, Rizha waved his sword and shouted, tightly leading the hands to press the Han army's line, and pushed up to the position of the Han people's flag on the hillside.
Now coupled with the fact that Quinoa Xiangli has sent people out to outflank him left and right, as long as the Han people are entangled here, it will inevitably be a big victory!
Rizha roared loudly: "The king has sent someone to outflank him, kill him!" Entangle them, kill them! ”
"Oh, oh......" The Qiang people cheered up and crowded together, pushing each other up and climbing.
"Boom! Boom Boom ......"
As Riza was directing the Qiang people to continue upward, he suddenly heard voices that he knew very well, and also with great fear, and these voices were fast and dense, almost in a single unit, and it seemed that hundreds of crossbowmen were firing in a volley.
"Crossbow bolts!" Rizha suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he looked up, I don't know when, under the black and red battle flag, stood a row of crossbowmen, holding crossbows, shooting downward, crossbow arrows roaring, dense as flying locusts.
"What the hell! How is it possible to shoot a bow in this weather! Riza yelled in despair, he didn't believe what was happening, but the spurting red blood of the Qiang who had been shot reminded him that it was all real, more terrible than a nightmare.
The bowstrings of the Qiang people, most of them are made of animal leather bands, in the snowy environment, even if they are carefully maintained, they will inevitably be slackened by the dampness, and they will not be able to open the bow at all, so the sun roots have not made any preparations for the protection of arrows and crossbows, but the Han people on the hillside seem to not care about the constraints of the weather at all, the strong crossbow arrows are like a sledgehammer, and they smashed down quickly, and the Qiang people who were clustered together were like mutton skewers, one by one, a string of shots on the spot!
The Qiang people shouted, screamed, cried, and became a mess.
One by one, the corpses fell, tumbling down the hillside, and quickly smashed away the Qiang people's hard to gather a trace of morale, the Qiang people began to hold their heads, trembling and turned around and ran, even if they stepped on the air, rolled and fell down the hillside, they were not willing to stay for a while under the threat of crossbow arrows.
Riza was not a flexible person in the first place, but when he saw the sudden change in front of him, his brain was suddenly blank and buzzing, just like a driver who drove on the road for the first time, sweating all over his body, moving anywhere, and there was no problem with his eyes and voice, but his hands and feet were stiff and inflexible......
Riza miscalculated the situation, and Quinoa Xiangli also miscalculated the ferocity of the black-armored Han people who were chasing and killing. Quinoa Xiangli originally thought that there were only three or four hundred people, so even if they were piled up with human hands, they could pile up and kill these black-armored Han people, at most they would die some of their subordinates, and the pressure of grain and grass on the road was so great, even if they died, what did it matter, as long as the morale could be raised......
However, Quinoa Xiangli didn't expect that this group of black-armored Han people saw the troops he sent to outflank the two wings, not only did they not panic to break through, but they launched a powerful counterattack against the Rizha troops even more fiercely!
Immediately, the Zhizha troops were caught off guard!
"Damn! Damn it! The sweat on the back of the quinoa rush came out, and the cold wind blew, and it was cold, "Hurry up and regroup, go up, go up!" ”
Under the cover of the crossbow arrow, Meng Shu used it as the tip of the arrow, and went straight to Riza, and with a roar, the war knife in his hand was like a lightning bolt, slashing straight towards Riza.
Rizha didn't care about commanding the troops at this time, so he took care of his own life first, and hurriedly raised his sword to meet him, trying to unload the forgiven war knife.
“!”
With a roar, Meng Shu from top to bottom, and added the momentum of the sprint, although Rizha consciously unloaded, but where can he completely unload, a strong force came, and he couldn't help but snort, staggered back two steps in a row, and the war knife in his hand almost flew out of his hand!
was forgiven with one blow, and he was even more unforgiving, slashing three times in one breath. Rizha didn't dare to slack off, didn't care about the soreness in his hand, raised the knife with both hands, and struggled to meet him.
The sound of three almost connected blade strikes, under the splash of sparks, Rizha Hu's mouth cracked, blood gushed out, even if he held a knife in both hands, he suddenly couldn't hold it, seeing that Meng Shu was another volley in the air, Rizha was taken aback, couldn't help but let out a loud roar, mustered up residual strength, and no longer parried, raised the knife to Meng Shu's waist and abdomen, it was a ruthless move that hurt both sides.
Meng Shu sneered, his left hand was copied behind him, he flipped his wrist, and he actually put on a hook setting, and immediately blocked the war knife that Riza had chopped, and then slashed at Riza's shoulder blade, cutting him to the ground!
Hook inlay is a composite weapon that combines a small shield and a long hook, which is smaller and lighter than ordinary battle shields. The shield is used to push and block, and the hook is used to hook the bundle. This kind of weapon has three functions: defense, hook, and push, and is generally used with the ring head knife, especially when dealing with blades with small branches such as Changge.
Because most of the pre-Qin infantry soldiers used Changge, Meng Shu was naturally extremely skilled in this kind of blade, and directly disintegrated Riza's offensive, and by the way, he regarded it as a serious injury.
Several Qiang people who followed Rizha were shocked and rushed up one after another, trying to snatch Rizha back.
But where did the rest of the Montessori black-armored warriors agree, they also greeted them, plus Meng Shu's left hand hook setting, right hand ring head knife, even smashing and slashing, by the way, also using the hook to cut, killing five people in an instant, like a fierce tiger, brave, killing the Qiang people fart and urine, embarrassed, defeated and retreated.
Meng Shu cut off the head of the dying Riza with a single sword, tied it up with a long hook set by a hook, and held it high in the air, "The enemy general has been given the head!" Kill these Qiang dogs! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The Montessori black-armored warriors shouted together, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
The Qiang people suddenly changed in shock, and they were shocked by the momentum of the Montessori Black Armor Warriors. A thousand people besieged three or four hundred people, but not only did they not be able to take it down, but they were also counterattacked by the other party, and even the main general was damaged, which sounds like a ridiculous thing, but when the cruelty happens, any Qiang people who are on the scene will not feel ridiculous, but they will feel frightened.
Seeing the Montessori black-armored warriors advancing step by step, and the blood-stained head of the day was shaking in Meng Shu's hands, this group of Qiang people no longer had the heart to fight with the Montessori warriors, and they turned around and ran away......
Not only were Riza's subordinates Qiang frightened, but even Quinoa Xiangli was so frightened that he hurriedly blew the trumpet, asking the thousand-man team outflanked by the left and right flanks to quickly change their route and converge with the Chinese army, otherwise, when the left and right wings rushed in the snow and rushed to the ground, these black-armored warriors of Montessori also followed these defeated soldiers of Riza to kill in front of him!
"Woo...... Woowoo woo ......"
The horn sounded again rapidly, and the two winged Qiang people who were struggling to overtake each other in the snow looked at each other blankly, and some of them were grumpy and even couldn't help but scold. Not everyone of the Qiang people, who were outflanked by the left and right wings of the mountains and woodlands, could clearly see what was happening on the frontal front, and not long after they ran out, they suddenly received an order to change direction, which was naturally very surprising.
Meng Shu pointed the head of Riza at Quinoa Xiangli, laughed and shouted, "Qiang dog! Dare to come to a fight! ”
More Montessori warriors also shouted, "Qiang dog! Dare to come to a fight! ”
The rumbling echo floated between the valleys, and it seemed that this piece of heaven and earth was also laughing at the Qiang people and quinoa with Montessori and others.
Quinoa's face turned pale, and he raised his hand and ordered: "Quick! Keep blowing the trumpet! Command the wings to come back and surround them! Kill these guys! ”
"Woo...... Woowoo woo ......"
"U-turn! Damn it! U-turn and go back! Although the two winged Qiang people in the valley did not fully know what was happening, the order could not be faked, and even if there was a lot of confusion in their hearts, they still had to follow the order, so they turned back one after another, and stepped on it with great difficulty, and hurried back......
