Chapter 71: The Battle of Yinchuan

"Father, why didn't you let me see him!"

Looking at his angry son, Ma Teng said helplessly: "I don't know you yet, can you still hold it when you see him?" ”

This handsome man is the five tiger generals of Shu Han later, Xiliang Ma Chao Ma Mengqi, Ma Teng's son, because he is handsome, he is known as Jin Ma Chao.

"Father! I'm going to have to fight him! ”

"Nonsense!" Ma Teng said angrily: "Don't forget Your Majesty's edict!" If it's because you're bad, you don't have enough to kill with ten lives! ”

Ma Chao said dissatisfiedly: "In this case, why did my father send him so much food!" Isn't it a waste? ”

"You know what? Sooner or later, I'm going to have to get these things back. Ma Teng patted Ma Chao on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Meng Qi, you fight with him, it will be a matter of time, but now is not the time, be patient, don't always be frizzy." ”

Hearing Ma Teng say that when he fought sooner or later, Ma Chao finally showed a smile, young people have a brave and ruthless heart, and it is normal, Ma Teng has trained his sons to practice martial arts since he was a child, Ma Chao is the most talented, a spear makes it supernatural, and Ma Teng also likes this son the most.

At the end of autumn, Xiang Qing's 20,000 troops had already marched to the territory of Qianghu, marching all the way according to the intelligence of the sentry cavalry camp and Wang Shu, this vast plain, that is the world of cavalry, nearly 10,000 Han cavalry galloped on the territory of the Qianghu people, and no tribe could resist the Han army.

As the number of battles increases, the combat effectiveness of these cavalry also rises in a straight line, and this improvement is like playing a game, the more experience, the higher the level, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

The cavalry opened the way in front, and when they saw the Qianghu tribe, they were wiped out, and the infantry in the rear became baggage soldiers, and more and more baggage was captured from those tribes, and the cattle, sheep and horses were all brought back to Liangzhou to help the people survive this winter, and the other food was divided equally among the soldiers, and the strategy of feeding the war with war was implemented in the territory of Qianghu.

In the distance, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves could be heard, and the eight thousand iron horsemen were like dark clouds sweeping from the sky, enveloping all visions within their sight, and the crimson armor rolled through like a blood-colored torrent.

"General! We are already close to Yinchuan! Wang Shu patted his horse and came to Xiang Qing and shouted: "General, a hundred miles ahead, it is Yinchuan!" Qianghu King Tent! ”

"Well, herald! Speed up and run to the tent of King Qianghu! Xiang Qing shouted.

Wang Shu frowned: "General! There is bad news, the large and small tribes of Qianghu have received orders from the king's tent, and they are all assembled in Yinchuan, and it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of cavalry! ”

Xiang Qing nodded: "I've thought of this, along the way, I haven't seen a few tribes in total, and there are still traces of tribal migration, it seems that they want to settle the situation in one battle!" ”

"General, the Qianghu people are all born on horseback, and most of our army are still recruits, don't be careless!" Shan Fu shouted.

"No matter how powerful it is, can it be as powerful as the Huns? What are you afraid of! Xiang Qing shouted: "Back then, Huo Huqi was able to chase the death and chase the north, why can't I!" ”

Liu Hu also shouted: "That's it! It's just a mere Qianghu person! I must take off the head of the king of Qianghu with my own hands and use it as a wine cup! ”

The uneasiness in Shan Fu's heart became more and more intense, and he wanted to say something, but Xiang Qing had already rushed forward with a desperate ride.

Wang Shu and Shan Fu went hand in hand, Wang Shu smiled: "Don't worry, the Qianghu people don't have to worry, the only thing to worry about is ......"

Shan Fu looked at Wang Shu's gaze and found that Wang Shu's eyes had been staring at Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was surrounded by Hua Xiong and Qin Yi, and there were soldiers in the middle, and Shan Fu's vision was blocked.

The army galloped at a rapid pace of eighty miles, and Xiang Qing ordered the march to be suspended, and sent all the scout sentry horsemen out to wait for the return.

Dozens of miles away, everyone vaguely saw the figure of the Qianghu people, looking down from the sky, the left is the red Han army, the right is the brown Qianghu army, the two armies are slowly approaching.

"Report ~~~ General! Ten miles ahead, the Qianghu army is already in formation! ”

"My king! The Han army is coming. ”

All the armies were cavalry, and after the two armies had approached a certain distance, the soldiers raised their weapons, and nearly 20,000 horses neighed, and the wind suddenly rose, rolling up the wind and sand, and whistling in front of the two armies.

When the smoke and dust slowly cleared, Xiang Qing and King Qianghu could see each other's faces clearly, and the soldiers of the former army also saw the appearance of the enemy.

The language was incomprehensible, and Xiang Qing couldn't communicate with them, so he didn't talk nonsense, he slowly pulled out the thundering sword, and the soldiers of the Han army had already put on a charging posture.

Shan Fu drew his sword and said, "It's a pity. ”

It's a pity, it's a pity that the Han army changed from a rushing battle to a frontal battle, so they will suffer, but the two armies are also evenly matched, and it's hard to say whether they will win or lose.

"There is nothing to be sorry for, our army will win! I'll follow you later, and you'll have to protect me! Wang Shu said.

Shan Fu glanced at him with disdain: "You are a big man, why do you want me to protect you?" ”

"Your swordsmanship is good! Look at the rat master and me, I have no power to restrain the chicken, shouldn't you be a swordsman like you to protect me? Wang Shu said confidently.

"That's the same, keep up, if you rush too bravely, I won't save you if you fall behind." Shan Fu's praise of Wang Shu is very useful, this person just can't listen to others praise him, Wang Shu has already touched him thoroughly.

Xiang Qing looked at Xiang Xu beside him and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, you must follow me, you know?" ”

Liu Hu interjected and said, "Second master, don't worry! With me, the little eighth master will be fine. ”

Xiang Xu said expressionlessly: "Your martial arts are too bad, I follow my brother." ”

Liu Hu clutched his chest and said as if in pain: "Little Eighth Master, I am really sad when you talk like this." ”

Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong and Qin Yi glanced at each other, and Hua Xiong said, "Big brother, what are you thinking about about that matter?" ”

Dong Zhuo held his mace and said hesitantly: "This ......"

Qin Yi said anxiously: "Big brother, don't hesitate! There's never been a better time! ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Xiang Qing who was holding his sword high in front of him, and then said firmly: "No! It's not now, our family has fought hundreds of battles with these Qianghu people, and today we can finally make a conclusion, let's talk about it after the battle! ”

"Big brother!" Both shouted at the same time.

"Needless to say! Fight first! ”

Xiang Qing and King Qianghu raised the weapons in their hands at the same time, and their eyes seemed to cross all distances of the battlefield to look at each other, and the killing intent in their eyes seemed to turn into substance, colliding in mid-air.

"The whole army obeys the order!" Xiang Qing shouted: "Attack!" ”

"Warriors!" King Qianghu shouted: "Rush! ”

The Han army and the Qianghu army collided fiercely in one place, and countless war horses were directly knocked away, in such a large-scale cavalry confrontation, as long as they fell off their horses, it was difficult to stay alive.

The cavalry in the rear of the Qianghu people outflanked the Han army, they took off their longbows, bent their bows and arrows and shot at the flanks of the Han army, and the cavalry in the rear of the Han army also spread out, evading the arrows of the Qianghu people with scattered formations.

The cavalry archery of the Qianghu people is indeed superior, but the cavalry of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not blown out, they fight with these foreigners all the year round, and they are not far behind in terms of cavalry archery.

On the left and right sides of the battlefield, the archers shot at each other, arrows came and went, the whole sky was covered with arrows, and the sun was blocked.

In the center of the battlefield, the soldiers of both armies charged the enemy regardless of their lives, Xiang Qing gave this army a soul, and they fought for the people of Liangzhou, Han Dynasty! Behind the Qianghu people is their own king's tent, and they fight to protect their king!

Wang Shu struggled to hack a Qiang cavalryman to death, shouting: "Shan Fu! You're rushing too fast, wait for me! ”

Shan Fu was red-eyed, he couldn't hear any sound at all, his swordsmanship was just not as good as Xiang Qing Xiang Xu, compared to these Qianghu people, his swordsmanship was still very strong, and he rushed forward all the way, and he had stabbed more than a dozen Qianghu people to death.

At this moment, the two Qianghu people took off the noose next to the horse's neck, threw a few laps in the air, and threw it out with all their might, the noose drew a perfect trajectory in the air, just lassoed Wang Shu, Wang Shu grabbed the reins with both hands, the Qianghu people turned the horse's head and pulled the rope hard, Wang Shu was about to be thrown off the horse.

"Ahh Shan Fu! You save me! ”

In the noisy battlefield noise, Shan Fu suddenly heard someone calling for help, suddenly woke up from the killing state, looked back, and saw Wang Shu being trapped by a rope, he shook his head helplessly, and threw the long sword in his hand hard.

The long sword slashed through the air, cutting the rope accurately, and Wang Shu suddenly broke free from the restraint and shouted, "Thank you!" ”

But I saw a Qianghu person taking advantage of Shan Fu's clone, raising a scimitar and preparing to sneak attack!

"Be careful!" Wang Shu reminded.

Shan Fu heard the sound and dodged in advance, the Qianghu man's scimitar slashed his back, blood splashed everywhere, Shan Fu turned around and grabbed the hilt of the knife, and slashed the Qianghu man to death.

Throwing the scimitar to Wang Shu, Shan Fu rushed all the way forward and retrieved his sword.

"You're hurt!" Wang Shu shouted guiltily.

"It's not like you're dragging your feet!" Shan Fu gritted his teeth and shouted: "It's too late to accept your apology, go back and invite me to drink!" ”

"It's a deal!"

The arrows of the cavalry archers on both sides had already been discharged, and they could only draw their swords and charge at the opposite side, and the horses stepped over the arrows all over the ground, and each of them slashed their swords at the heads of the enemy with a hideous face.

The battle started in the morning, until sunset and dusk, and the winner was not yet decided, and at the beginning of the battle, the cavalry formation could still be maintained, and until now, the consciousness has begun to blur, where is there still a formation to speak of.

The Han army and the Qianghu army were already mixed together, as long as they saw that it was not their own people, they would swing their swords and cut them, but they were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to raise their swords, so they used their last strength, jumped up from their horses, and fell off their horses with the enemy in their arms.

Xiang Qing and Xiang Xu did not participate in the battle, behind them, there were four hundred Luoyang elite cavalry and three thousand of the most elite Xiliang iron cavalry, they were the last strength, including Liu Hu and all the personal guards.

Behind the king of Qianghu on the opposite side, there were an equal number of Qiang hunters, and two tribal leaders who were tall and tall.

The most elite troops on both sides, at the last moment, enter the battlefield!
