Chapter 127: Crisscrossing the West Liang
Suddenly, there was a whistle in the distance, Cheng Yin's heart sank, and he suddenly saw a cavalry behind them, numbering about two thousand, standing quietly in place.
Seeing this, Cheng Yin didn't know how he had fallen into the trap, and his heart slowly sank, although in terms of numbers, his own men and horses were much more than the other party, but after all, Cheng Yin had also fought for many years, and his combat effectiveness could not be measured purely from the number of people, he would not be naΓ―ve to think that the other party was some old, weak, sick and disabled.
It can be felt from the momentum of the team alone, those people are at least at the same level as the people behind Ma Chao, that is to say, these people are the most elite string controllers among the Qiang people, thinking of this, Cheng Yin felt a headache.
However, Ma Chao and the others didn't give him a headache for too long, "Xiliang Ma Chao is here, you don't get off the horse and surrender quickly, don't blame a certain family for being ruthless!" As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao rushed towards Cheng Yin and the others.
At the same time, the ghosts and gods on the other side also silently led the troops to charge.
On the slippery snow, two thousand string control men can not only stabilize the formation by virtue of their skillful bow and horse skills, but also be able to bend the bow and shoot arrows on the horse to attack Cheng Yin's part, showing the super combat effectiveness of the string control people.
Even more terrifying than these string controllers are the two hundred wolf warriors led by the ghosts and gods, they are as fast as walking on the ground, and the slippery ground cannot bring them the slightest impact, at the same time, the cavalry on the war horses are even more murderous, and there is no shaking in the process of galloping.
This is all due to the secret weapons of the Bingzhou Army, the Bilateral Pedals and Horseshoes, which are also one of the greatest secrets of the Bingzhou Army's cavalry, and because of the very good secrecy work, these secret weapons have not been discovered by others until this time.
Ma Chao's Li Feisha is naturally equipped with such equipment, he rushed into the enemy's military formation first, but he was not afraid in the face of thousands of heavily armed enemy troops, and the tiger head Zhan golden spear in his hand flew up and down, killing Cheng Yin's troops scattered, and in an instant, seven or eight people were stabbed under the horse.
Although the speed of the people behind Ma Chao can not keep up with Ma Chao, but their advantage lies in riding and shooting, long before Ma Chao rushed into the formation, he took the first step to greet the past with a rain of arrows, in the case of such a violent gallop between the two sides, the archery skills of these Qiang elites were suddenly revealed, almost no arrows, only one round of volleys, shot and killed nearly 100 cavalry of the other side.
Nearly half of the Xiliang cavalry fell in front of Ma Chao, which also ensured Ma Chao's safety.
At the same time, the troops led by the ghost god also joined the battle, like a hot sharp knife piercing butter, and the Xiliang cavalry was demoralized when they encountered an ambush, so when facing the wolf warrior special forces, a group of tigers and wolves, although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, they were still killed miserably.
The men who controlled the strings had long been divided into two groups, one of them rushed into the enemy line to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Xiliang cavalry, and the other small part cruised around the periphery, shooting the enemy with bows and arrows in their hands.
Cheng Yin was frightened in the center of the front and rear attacks, and he didn't care about calling the troops to resist, so he took the lead in turning the horse's head and running towards the way he came, he had already been frightened by this ambush, worried that there were other ambushes here, and at this time, he was no longer in high spirits when he was chasing, and now he was like a lost dog running for his life.
Ma Chao refused to let him go, he had been being pursued by Cheng Yin, and he had long been holding back a cloud of anger in his heart, and he could finally break out at this moment.
Shouted angrily: "Death to those who stand in my way!" The tiger head Zhan golden spear in his hand brought a little bit of starlight, and suddenly the front of him was empty, and more than a dozen Xiliang cavalrymen were stabbed under their horses in an instant.
Cheng Yin's troops saw Ma Chao's brave appearance, which immediately caused a burst of confusion.
"General Shenweitian!" I don't know which Qiang soldier suddenly roared, and then the people without numerical strings all shouted hard, and for a while, the morale of Ma Chao's troops was even better, reaching a peak.
When Cheng Yin heard this voice, he was so frightened that he was urinating, and urged the war horse to speed up, and the troops around him had no fighting spirit, and many Xiliang cavalry dismounted and surrendered, and later, only dozens of personal soldiers were left around Cheng Yin who were still following him.
Li Feisha's feet are fast, and the distance between him and Cheng Yin is rapidly shortening.
Ma Chao looked at the distance between the two sides, temporarily put away the tiger head Zhan golden gun, took out the ten-stone strong bow, stepped on his feet to stabilize his body, and his arms were forced, and suddenly the strong bow was pulled into a full moon shape, and he shouted softly: "Go!" β
Suddenly, a streamer of light chasing the stars and catching the moon flew towards Cheng Yin's heart, only to hear a soft sound, the arrow did not enter Cheng Yin's heart, and the sharp arrow was directly inserted into the neck of Cheng Yin's war horse, nailing Cheng Yin to the horse.
After Ma Chao saw Cheng Yin killed, he raised the strong bow in his hand and shouted: "The thief will be dead, if you don't surrender quickly, those who surrender can live!" β
Immediately afterwards, the other soldiers repeated loudly the words 'those who surrender can live', and the remaining Liangzhou cavalry, there were nearly two thousand, all of whom gave up resistance at this time, turned over and dismounted and threw down their weapons.
"Mr. Boda, why did you want me to go to Yangzhou?" Sun Jian sat on the main throne and looked sideways at the young scribe beside him, who was none other than Sima Lang, who had just joined the service.
The Sima family is also a prominent family in Hanoi, and Sima Fang's children can also be called famous in the Sili territory, so Sima Lang has long been famous, which makes Sun Jianru, who has been suffering from no master, a treasure.
Sun Jian has always relied on martial arts to fight the world, but as the team grows bigger and bigger, he slowly feels powerless, so he always hopes that there is a resourceful person around him to assist him.
Coincidentally, at this time, Sima Lang appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he solved his worries, and under Sima Lang's planning, Sun Jian also had a vague outline of the future development.
Not only that, after Sima Lang joined, with his help, many complicated military affairs were handled in an orderly manner in a very short period of time, and Sun Jian really realized at this time how comfortable it was to have an excellent mastermind.
Therefore, in just a few days, Sima Lang gained Sun Jian's trust and began to ask for his opinion on many things.
Sima Lang smiled and said: "The lord of Qi, the lord's hometown is Wu County, the lord can get the geographical advantage in Yangzhou, and since ancient times, there is a saying that the world's elite soldiers have come out of Danyang, and the disciples of Jiangdong are talented, if our army can take root in Yangzhou, it will have great benefits for future development." β
Sun Jian nodded and motioned for Sima Lang to continue.
"Our army is now only more than 10,000 remnants, Yuzhou will definitely not be able to go back, and Jingzhou will definitely not have a place for our army. Jiaozhou is too far away, so the more suitable location is Yangzhou. Yangzhou Mu Chen Wen is a mediocre person, after the lord returns to Wu County, he can lead Wu County to guard, 10,000 soldiers to guard the land of a county, Chen Wen will not dare to face the lord with a sword. β
When Sun Jian heard this, a smile appeared on his face, Sima Lang's analysis was very accurate, and it was also in line with the actual situation, and it really looked like what he said.
That Chen Wen didn't know that Sun Jian came to break away from Yuan Shu this time, and he would definitely not dare to act rashly because he was afraid of Yuan Shu, and with the prestige of his wife's family in Wu County and more than 10,000 generals in his hands, he would definitely be able to take Wu County into his palm.
Sima Lang looked at the look on Sun Jian's face, the smile on his face deepened, and continued to speak: "Wu County is adjacent to Danyang County, Danyang County Taishou Zhou Xin is known as a virtuous name, once Yuan Shao's general, and now the second Yuan is against him, Yuan Shu has entered Yuzhou, Zhou Xin has never liked Yuan Shu as a person, and I am willing to go to say it on behalf of the lord, then Danyang can also enter my hands." At that time, the lord will sit in the two counties of Wu and Danyang, recuperate and work hard, and watch the general trend of the world and wait for the opportunity to move. β
"Hahaha, good, good, good! What Berda said won my heart! Sun Jian stroked his palms and laughed, got up and walked in front of Sima Lang, picked up two bowls of water and wine, handed one bowl to Sima Lang, and said: "Boda is really a genius in the world, I am very lucky!" Come on, come on, you and I have dried this glass of water and wine, and after a while, we will have a good time drinking in Wu County! β
The Qinling Mountains are east-west mountain ranges that traverse central China, starting from Baishi Mountain in the north of Lintan County, Gansu Province in the west, and entering Shaanxi through Maiji Mountain in the south of Tianshui in the east. At the junction of Shaanxi and Henan, it is divided into three branches, the northern branch is Kunshan Mountain, and the middle branch is Bear's Ear Mountain; The southern branch is Funiu Mountain. It is about 1,600 kilometers long, and is the watershed of the Wei River, a tributary of the Yellow River, and the Jialing River and the Han River, which are tributaries of the Yangtze River.
It has always been a place where soldiers must fight, and at this time, next to a pool of water on the Bear's Ear Mountain in the middle branch of the Qinling Mountains, four old men stood facing each other, and all four of them were dressed in Taoist robes, dressed as fairy wind and bones. It is Zuo Ci, Nanhua, Yu Ji, and Zixu, and they are also the only four remaining immortals in the world today.
Nanhua was the first to speak: "Zixu, do you two really want to be obsessed with this?" β
Zixu punched out a magic seal with both hands and said: "Amitayus Longevity Blessing, it has reached this time, do you still need to say more?" β
Nanhua shook his head, and seemed to sigh softly: "Why is this so difficult. β
"All sentient beings are suffering, and it is precisely for us immortal cultivators to enlighten sentient beings. However, most of the living beings are insatiable, and it is easy to ignite, and only by breaking and standing up can we exchange for peace in the world. Zixu looked at Nanhua, a complicated look flashed in the depths of his eyes, they were originally brothers from the same family, but because of their different views, they ended up meeting each other in life and death, which was not what he hoped would happen.
Nanhua still shook his head and said, "Although the master has said; 'Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs', but it does not mean that we can arbitrarily manipulate the fate of sentient beings, on the contrary, it is to hope that we can do inaction and educate sentient beings. β
Yu Ji took a step forward impatiently at this time, and said to Nanhua: "Nanhua, don't talk nonsense. With me and I here today, you will not want to hurt him. β
Nanhua and Zuo Ci glanced at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, as Yu Ji said, the two sides were evenly matched, and neither could stand the other.
In an instant, both of them had an idea, and Nanhua said, "Let's go, this time the two of us will retreat." I hope you will be able to keep your promises. Ten years later, it will still be here, and it will be up to you to see if the blood phoenix will be able to fulfill its long-cherished wish or the destiny of heaven will be able to turn the tide. β
