- Heban Mountain

Xu He watched the scuffle at the foot of the crane mountain, and walked around anxiously with his hands behind his back from time to time.

"Why haven't you come yet..."

"Qu Shuai! Hurry up and report that Ma Qiang in the plains has led more than 10,000 people to be less than five miles here! ”

"Oh? Here it comes! Xu He clapped his hands and smiled, "I'm afraid I won't come, tell the brothers in the mountain pass, let the horses come in, let's pack a big wonton!" ”

Many people in later generations think that there is not much difference between wontons and dumplings, in fact, it is true, dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty in order to cure diseases, and they were called crescent wontons at that time, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that they were slowly distinguished by the thickness of the skin.

Sima Ju at the foot of the mountain saw the banner on the mountain, and immediately ordered, "Let the brothers all stand back and form a formation, the reinforcements of the official army are coming, and they must be prevented from rushing out to make peace with the reinforcements!" ”

Hua Xiong, who was surrounded in the core, saw that the shield array around him was retreating, and knew in his heart that this was Ma Qiang was coming, and gathered hundreds of cavalry in his army and said, "Ming Gong is coming, I have kept an eye on the group of armor soldiers who just rushed into battle, there must be a thief leader there, and when the thief army is in chaos, you will follow me to catch it back, and when the money rewarded by Ming Gong will be given to you if you don't want a penny!" ”

If you want to say that part of Ma Qiang's army is the poorest, it has to be Huaxiong's battalion, good guy, I haven't received a full salary in Dong Zhuo, and after arriving in Pingyuan, I saw this colorful gadget on Pingyuan Street, and I wanted to buy it... No money! Just one month's military salary, it's really not enough to buy anything! can spoil this group of Northwest men.

If he hadn't known that he would definitely not be able to escape back to his hometown in Liangzhou alone, this group of people would have the heart to rob.

Originally, the difference between a soldier and a thief was not much for these people.

Therefore, when they heard Hua Xiong say that all the money was distributed to everyone, the eyes of these hundreds of cavalrymen were red.

While talking, Ma Qiang arrived with his soldiers and horses, Ma Qiang sat on the chariot, looked at the chaotic battlefield between the two mountains, and said to Jia Xu, "It's really a good place, Wenhe, do you see me dressed conspicuously?" ”

In order to ensure that the Yellow Turban Army that may be hidden is introduced, Ma Qiang is now dressed quite sassy, wearing a golden battle armor, and a horse-shaped handsome flag on the chariot, so he almost has an arrow on his head.

"Ming Gong, look at that!" Jia Xu pointed in one direction, Ma Qiang picked up the binoculars and looked, and saw that in the mountains and forests, the flag was faintly visible, and he nodded, "Sure enough, there are ambush soldiers, and the whole army is ordered, move forward slowly, and don't mess up!" ”

"No!!"

Xu He couldn't help frowning when he saw the 10,000-strong army formation under the mountain pressing forward unhurriedly.

The battle was not what he had imagined from the start.

Not to mention that Hua Xiong seemed to know that he would be ambushed, and prepared so many arrows and barbed wire, even the current Ma Qiang is not right, where is there to save people and be so unhurried.

"Someone! Are there any reinforcements from the plains after this road? ”

"Hui Qu Shuai! There was no brigade of men and horses, only a thousand horsemen formed a formation three or four miles away! ”

"A thousand riders?"

Xu He pinched the war knife in his hand and said in disbelief, "Could it be that this Ma Qiang thinks that he can defeat my 50,000 soldiers and horses with only a thousand horses?" ”

Xu He and Sima Ju have never underestimated the Plains Army, after all, Ma Qiang's reputation among the Yellow Turban Army is still quite loud, so the two have gathered 50,000 elites here, which can be said to be all the elite soldiers and horses in their hands.

Don't look at the 600,000 people in the hands of the two, but among these 600,000 people, half of them are old and weak, women and children, and only 100,000 can have decent swords, and those who have battle armor are only less than 10,000 people.

"Drumming! Come with me!! ”

Xu He saw that Ma Qiang's soldiers and horses had already begun to engage the soldiers and horses surrounding Huaxiong under the mountain, so he no longer hesitated and ordered the whole army to attack.

I saw that in the mountains and forests, flags were flying, between the grass and trees, strong men gathered, and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban Army came out from the mountains on both sides, and surrounded Ma Qiang's soldiers and horses at once.

"Well done! Fight in battle! Let Huaxiong and our army get closer! Ma Qiang immediately ordered, and the drums in Ma Qiang's army suddenly changed, the flag flashed, and a team of carriages was revealed.

Ma Qiang doesn't understand the tactics of cold weapons, his tactics are in the era of hot weapons, to put it bluntly, it is firepower suppression, and he uses the most and farthest long-range firepower to defeat all opponents.

"Put!!"

This time, it was not a bow and crossbow, but a huge bed crossbow, dozens of bed crossbows shook violently, and dozens of spear-like arrows flew towards the Yellow Turban Army that rushed over, and the Yellow Turban Army, which didn't even have much armor, could resist this, and immediately killed and injured hundreds of people.

However, the casualties of 100 people were too few in the ranks of 20,000 people, and the red-eyed Yellow Turban Army continued to move forward, not caring about their companions lying on the ground.

"Crossbow bolts ready! Put!! ”

"Bow and arrow ready! Put!!! ”

Xu He didn't go down the mountain, he was still commanding the overall situation on the mountain, he watched Ma Qiang's army continue to throw arrows in the rain, and his subordinates could only rely on the rudimentary wooden shield to rush up, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

These officers and soldiers... You know that you can bully people with equipment!

"Kill!!"

"Charge in formation!!"

"The heavens are dead! Huang Tian should stand! Years old in Koko!! The world is in good luck!! ”

The two armies shouted their respective slogans and fought together, and for a while, the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh and blood continued to sound, and the wails and war drums merged into one and resounded in this valley.

"Cang, you're all in the middle of the year!" Ma Qiang couldn't help pouting when he heard the yellow turban slogan shouted on the other side, speaking of which he still had the yellow turban token in his hand, and after catching Xu and the two, he had to ask them if they knew each other, after all, God knows what year these yellow turban soldiers were taught now.

At this time, the so-called Yellow Turban Army in the world, except for the Black Mountain Army, can be regarded as the orthodox Taiping Dao, and most of the others only know about the Yellow Turban Army, and some have never even heard of the Taiping Sutra, but just call themselves the Yellow Turban Army in order to get a banner.

"It seems that the thief army has been exhausted, and Ziyi can come over." After Jia Xu finished speaking, he looked at Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang nodded, and the sergeant on the side took out a huge firework canister and put it on the ground, and after lighting it, he heard a bang, and a huge red light cluster flew into the air and exploded.

Although during the day, this fireworks are not very noticeable, but they are enough.

Tai Shici, who was in the distance, looked at the signal, and said to the sergeants who had already helped each other put on their battle armor on the left and right, "Today is the day when you and I become famous, I usually tell you that the eldest husband was born in troubled times, and when he brings a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements, it will be today!" Gentlemen, come with me!! ”

After that, Tai Shi Ci put on his evil ghost mask, held the green dragon halberd that Yue Yang specially helped you build, and carried two short halberds on his back, urging the war horse, and before coming to the thousand horses, he slowly rushed towards the battlefield.
