Chapter 1188: The fierce battle of the camp water gate
On the battlefield, life and death are always only a moment.
Xu Huang hid behind the shield and observed the battlefield through a gap in front of him, he saw that the large force of cavalry was still in the rear of the battlefield, and many horses still did not make any moves, nor did they have the intention of rushing forward, just waiting for the moment when the passage was opened. Everyone has a plan, but no one can know the other's plan well, and the information on the battlefield is ever-changing, and often at such times, it is not only necessary to have careful preparation and analysis, but also to have the ability to be flexible and flexible.
Xu Huang stayed here, not only to ensure that the forces of Ma Chao and the others were dragged down, so that the rest of the people had enough time to block the shore, but also to implement the follow-up plan......
"Throw the fire!" Xu Huang ordered loudly.
Suddenly, some soldiers threw their torches high, drew an arc in the air, and fell to the ground in front of the camp, illuminating the surroundings and illuminating the group of Qiang people who were rushing forward frantically.
When he saw the shaking sound and shadow of the Qiang people stepping over the white stones that were the signs, Xu Huang suddenly shouted: "Eighty steps in front of the camp!" Gale! ”
The sound of shooting behind the wall of the camp immediately repeated loudly: "Eighty steps in front of the camp!" Gale! ”
"Fall!"
In the midst of the clamour, the sword and shield men in the military formation tilted their shields to the side at the same time, and then retracted them, revealing the archers below.
"Gale! Gale! Gale! ”
The archer opened his bow and shot three times in a row across the wall according to the predetermined ruler!
"Vertical!"
The sword and shield men raised their shields with brushes, and covered the heads of the archers on the side, and then joined together into a shield wall, blocking the arrows that had been shot into the camp from the shields......
Arrows whizzed, slanting down from the dark night sky!
At this time, the Qiang people who were rushing frantically ahead of time couldn't care about dodging, and in such an environment, there was no trace of arrows in the air at all, so they could only pray for the protection of Changshengtian......
"Poof!"
A Qiang man who rushed forward was poured diagonally from the top of his head directly by an arrow, and the arrow carried bone residue, brains, blood, and a few hairs, directly from the other side!
The Qiang man was killed instantly, but his two legs actually took half a step forward according to inertia before he fell to the ground with a pop......
Different from the arrows used by the Qiang people, the general of Zhengxi costs money, well, Fei Qian's arrows are made of fine iron, both in terms of lethality and cost, they are quite expensive, so the Qiang people are too light and weak to shoot the disadvantages, it is not a problem here in Zhengxi at all, as long as it is projectile, it has a strong killing effect.
Under the three rounds of rapid shooting, the Qiang stragglers of about 200 people rushed like ocean waves, and suddenly it was like shooting on the flood control embankment, and they were combed by the cement piles so that only more than 100 people remained!
The Qiang people don't care about it, and run forward with their lives!
"Sixty steps ahead of the camp! Gale! Xu Huang yelled again.
The shooting sound was repeated, and then there were three new rounds of projectiles!
"Forty steps before the camp! Gale! Xu Huang yelled again.
Three rounds of projectiles again.
"Ahhh......hh
A Qiang man frantically brandished a war knife above his head, trying to use it to shoot away the arrows shot down from the dark air, I don't know if this action is really effective, or the favor of the immortal sky, when his alveoli really can't support the demand for a large amount of oxygen consumed, slowly stopped, and gasped violently, the Qiang suddenly found that the other Qiang people who rushed over with him around him had already been lying on the ground, leaving him alone in front of the camp gate......
"Get ......" When a mouthful of blood subsided, this Qiang felt a strong fear from his feet to his head, looking at the black camp like a fierce beast, as if he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Whoosh-" An arrow emerged from the night, carrying light and shadow, and the breath of blood and fire sank into the Qiang man's chest.
The Qiang let out a long breath, as if relieved, as if relieved, as if relieved, his legs weakened, he fell to his knees, and then threw himself forward, as if pulled down by a ghost underground, and fell into the darkness on the ground.
Seeing this, the Qiang people who followed the charging queue to fill and sweep the road stood for a moment, and then with a bang, they scattered in all directions, not daring to gather together, not daring to retreat, and not daring to go further, just grinding around in place......
I don't know if it's because of the lack of light at night, or the light and shadow of the torch beating, the shadow on Ma Chao's face is like a dancing beast, only the iron is blue and there is no blood.
Where there are only three hundred archers in this camp, at least double it!
Even more, eight hundred to one thousand is possible!
"Send another team! Bring a shield! Ma Chao gritted his teeth and ordered, "Fill the road quickly!" Otherwise you will die more! ”
After Ma Chao finished speaking, he called Ma Tie again and whispered something, Ma Tie nodded and turned to leave.
This time the Qiang people learned to be obedient, no longer brutal, and did not dare to rush indiscriminately, but raised a shield in front of the Qiang people who filled in the earth and cleared the road to cover and move forward, although some unlucky guys were shot in the exposed legs and feet or what parts, and the screams sounded from time to time, but it was much better than the previous state of being completely unprotected, at least the battle line did not collapse.
"Shooting sound battalion, the rear column withdraws!" Xu Huang saw that the bow and arrow coverage could not take much advantage, so he ordered the archers to withdraw one after another, then turned around and went down the battlement, and said to the guards, "Take a certain heavy armor to ......"
"Captain!" Xu Yu took a step forward and said, "It's better to stay behind......
Xu Huang patted Xu Yu on the shoulder and said, "After the commander of the battalion is broken, the army's morale will not be chaotic." You quickly lead the team to cross the river, if there is a scramble for disorder, behead! ”
"Yui!" Xu Yu had no choice but to take the order.
At this moment, more than a dozen rope sleeves were thrown out of the heavy night, which accurately landed on the wooden pillars of the wall on the side of the camp, and quickly tightened, and with the sound of the trumpet, the wooden stakes began to tilt outward under force!
"Cut the rope!"
The soldiers defending at the battlement shouted loudly, and then slashed at the noose with their knives, only to be knocked to the ground by a burst of arrows flying in from outside the camp.
Although the soldiers who rushed to the battlement cut a few with all their might, more and more lassoes were thrown up, and the walls of the camp began to shake slightly......
Xu Huang, who was wearing armor, couldn't help but shrink his gaze.
Ma Chao finally found the biggest weakness of this camp.
The camp built on the bank of the river, because of the relationship between geographical factors, so the foundation is relatively loose, and it is impossible to be as stable as the camp in other areas......
"Shoot the sound battalion, retreat! Swords, shields, and spears come forward to take cover! Xu Huang, who was wearing heavy armor, moved his hands and feet, and felt that there was no obstacle, so he lifted the battle axe handed over by the guard, and shouted, "Listen to a certain order, retreat to the water gate!" ”
The sword and shield bearers held their shields and ring knives tightly, while the spearmen held their spears tightly with both hands, lined up behind Xu Huang. The archers, on the other hand, gathered their longbows and quivers, and hurried around the sides of the array in the direction of the water gate.
The evacuation of the people in the camp and the weakening of the counterattack have boosted the arrogance of Ma Chao, Ma Tie and others, not only the Qiang people near the camp gate have accelerated, but even the horn pulling the wall of the camp has become more orderly and loud......
"Boom!" With the sound of squeaking and squeaking wooden stretching and twisting, five or six wooden stakes in the walled wall near the side of the tidal flat were pulled and overturned, driving a large area of the walled wall to skew, and suddenly revealing a huge gap!
Xu Huang's eyes froze, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Steady!" Something is here! Drumming! Get ready for battle! ”
"Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock! The muffled sound of war drums rang like water in the ears of the sword-bearers and pikemen, soothing some of their uneasiness and anxiety.
The Qiang people rushed in along the gap, shouting and shouting in a mess, a group of people went around from the side to remove the latch of the walled gate, and a group of people rushed towards the array of Xu Huang and others at the water gate!
The Qiang people rushed to Xu Huang's array, looked at the neat and orderly array, and subconsciously stopped their steps more than ten steps away, crowded together chaotically, and confronted Xu Huang and the others. The distance between the two sides is so close, even if it is the flickering firelight, you can see each other's fierce eyes clearly......
More and more Qiang people began to push each other and poured into the camp.
Xu Huang held the battle axe, slowly slashed in the air, then stretched out his palm with iron gloves, flipped up, beckoned to the Qiang people, and roared behind the mask: "Come to fight!" ”
The sword and shield hands and spearmen behind Xu Huang couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and shouted in unison: "Fight! Come to war! ”
The Qiang front couldn't help but subconsciously shrink back, and then a Qiang man in the front was stimulated by Xu Huang and others to the point that blood gushed up, roared wildly, and raised his knife to slash at Xu Huang!
With one person taking the lead, the rest of the Qiang people subconsciously shouted, followed and ran forward, shouting chaotically: "Kill!" ”
Xu Huang looked at the oncoming Qiang people and was unmoved, until the first Qiang man was about to approach, and then suddenly slammed the battle axe from the bottom to the top!
The huge tomahawk blade, with a "buzz" sound, drew a shining arc in the air, and just when it seemed to be about to get out of Xu Huang's control, Xu Huang's wrist flipped and twisted slightly, and the tomahawk turned over lightly in the air as if it had spirituality, and then slashed down at a faster speed!
The Qiang man who rushed to the front was stunned, his face showed some indescribable looks, and the next moment, his body was like a tomato omelet rice that was suddenly slashed, or an enema that was accidentally cut in the air, the whole person was split in half obliquely, and the organs and blood in the chest and abdomen were happily rushed out to breathe the freshest air, and if you pay attention, you can also see the last injection of blood squeezed out when the half of the heart hanging on the ribs of the chest cavity is tightened......
"Kill!"
Xu Huang snorted, holding the axe in both hands, sweeping left and right, the battle axe was like a bloodthirsty beast, eager all the time, chasing flesh and blood, killing three people in an instant, and then one whirled, and swept down two!
Several Qiang people knew that Xu Huang was powerful and wanted to retreat, but they were blocked by the people rushing from behind, and they couldn't retreat, so they could only scream like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, raising their knives and guns to slash at Xu Huang's body!
Xu Huang swung his battle axe, and to put it mildly, he cut off two spears that pierced him, and then slashed at the shield of a Qiang man who was facing him with an axe!
In the sound of "click", the shield sawdust splashed everywhere, even if it was reinforced with iron bars, it could not resist Xu Huang's powerful and sinking battle axe, and it suddenly cracked from the middle. The Qiang people didn't have time to let go, and suddenly their forearms twisted into an obtuse angle, and they screamed and squatted and fell to the ground.
Before he could struggle to get up, a few barefoot, or straw sandals, or big feet in broken boots stepped on him one after another! The Qiang man who had a broken hand could not get out at all, and the soil by the water gate was not very strong, so after a few struggles, he was trampled into the ground alive.
A Qiang man took advantage of Xu Huang's lack of time to take back the battle axe, took a step forward, ignoring the war knife cut by the guard on Xu Huang's side, and went crazy and slashed at Xu Huang's chest and abdomen with the war knife!
"Bell!"
Hit!
The joy that came out of my heart was instantly replaced by a cold.
The Qiang people were surprised to see that their war knife only splashed a little spark on the surface of Xu Huang's armor, and then it was bounced off by the tough armor iron piece, and the slash was hit, but it could not cause any damage to Xu Huang......
Xu Huang didn't look at the Qiang man, but while retracting the battle axe, he slashed it horizontally with his left forearm and struck it away, and the iron pieces on the iron armor arms glove were like iron brushes, directly tearing off the skin and flesh from the Qiang man's face, and the Qiang man's cheeks were suddenly a piece of skin and flesh and blood!
Before the Qiang people could cover their faces and scream, they were slashed to the ground by the guards on Xu Huang's side. The spear and the sword and shield cooperated, and several guards grabbed Xu Huang in front of him and protected Xu Huang behind the shield wall, so that Xu Huang could take two breaths.
Xu Huang took a few steps back, put the battle axe on the ground, and let out a long exhale, observing the battlefield, because of the narrow line of sight of the mask, he had to turn his head to see the entire battlefield......
The gate has been opened by the Qiang, but because they have not yet had time to completely clean up the trap in front of the gate, Ma Chao's cavalry did not come in for the time being......
The Qiang people who poured into the camp were also forced to divide into several areas because of the horses and baggage carts that were connected in the camp, and they were crowding towards the water gate......
The last of the archers had already boarded the ship, and the ships began to glide along the ropes to the opposite shore, and the next ship would be about a quarter of an hour away......
Hold on for another quarter of an hour!
"Retreat!"
Xu Huang snapped, then patted the guard in front of him on the shoulder. The guards violently pressed forward with their shields or blades, and then quickly split their sides and retreated behind Xu Huang to make room for Xu Huang.
"Kill!"
The tomahawk "buzzed" against the ground, with two calves, one thigh, and two or three scattered arms, some spear heads and half a war knife rushed into the air together, and then with Xu Huang's small range of turning and twisting his waist, the tomahawk roared down in a circle like lightning, splitting the heads, chests and abdomen of five or six Qiang people who were congesting forward in half a circle, and the blood spurted out like a volcano that erupted suddenly!
The extremely fierce Xu Huang suddenly frightened the Qiang people in the front row and shrank back suddenly, preferring to crash into the swords and guns of his own people behind him than facing Xu Huang's battle axe!
The battlefield suddenly vacated some distance.
Xu Huang was about to speak out again to invite him to fight, but his heart jumped violently, and with a twist of his wrist, he immediately covered the axe face of the tomahawk in front of him.
"Bell!"
A bow and arrow screeched, slammed into the axe's face, and was blown away with a puff of fire! The force was so great that Xu Huang's hands couldn't help but tremble.
Xu Huang looked through the mask, and saw that at the gate of the camp, a person was sitting on a horse, holding a longbow, it was Ma Chao!
