Chapter 261: Killer Feature

Several fast horses rushed out of the snow curtain, and the knight turned over and dismounted, and rushed to the middle army's platform.

"General, Xiliang Cavalry!"

Sun Ce's heart tightened, and then there was a burst of ecstasy. The Xiliang cavalry that Xu Rong had hidden finally appeared. This was supposed to be the final winner, but now it appeared in advance, indicating that the Xiliang people were enraged by Fan Chou's death, abandoned their original plan, and launched an attack in advance.

If we consider that Xu Rong has just reacted, I am afraid that this also implies another possibility: Xu Rong has lost control of these Xiliang generals, and these people are not ordered to attack, but do their own thing. Haha, Lao Tzu's carefully prepared discord plan for so long finally worked. Xu Rong, you can fight again, how can you fight now that you have become a bare-bones commander?

This is your fate!

Sun Ce immediately ordered the whole army to defend, Deng Zhan and Huang Zhong joined forces, and the Chinese army Guo Jun moved back, ready to accept the military appointment at any time.

The troops saved by the back of the river also saved Sun Ce's troops, and he could use more troops to defend the west side without worrying about his back.

The drums of war sounded, and all the soldiers moved and prepared for battle.

Dozens of horses rushed out of the snow, and the knights on horseback waved the pennant in their hands and shouted the agreed password. They all speak Nanyang dialect, and even if the Xiliang people know what the password is, they can't learn this accent. Hearing the command, the soldiers between the Chinese army and the rear rushed forward and opened a few gaps in the Wugang car that was connected from end to end. The knights galloped in, entered the clearing, reined in their horses, and re-established themselves.

A group of people rushed over with a cart loaded with steaming beef soup, a middle-aged woman holding a stack of wooden bowls, one for each person, and the master behind raised a large spoon, scooped up the fragrant beef soup, and poured most of the bowl on the wooden bowl of each knight. The knights held wooden bowls, inhaled the aroma, and smiled.

More knights and fish entered the formation, Qin Mu was the last, and Wu Gangche closed behind him in turn. Qin Mu didn't get off the horse, took half a bowl of beef soup, and galloped towards the Chinese army generals while drinking it, and just finished drinking the beef soup when he arrived at the generals. He turned over and dismounted, threw the wooden bowl to the guards, and took three steps and two steps himself to the platform.

"General, I'm back."

"Say."

"Wow. Three thousand cavalrymen have been hiding near the city to recuperate, just about ten miles across the river. When we found them, they were crossing the river. General, what happened to the victory drum just now, and who did you behead? ”

Sun Ce glared at Qin Mu. "How far is it?"

Qin Mu rubbed his head and turned around to point. "Well, isn't this coming? These Xiliang dogs are really cunning enough, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's carefulness, he almost fell into their trap. ”

Sun Ce ignored Qin Mu and turned to look northwest. The snow was so heavy that he couldn't see anything, but he could hear the sound of horses' hooves. The sound of the hooves of thousands of war horses running was amazing, like thunder, not very loud, but absolutely shocking, rolling with indescribable power.

He was a human being for the first time in his two lives, and he was very nervous, not knowing if the things designed by Huang Yueying could really block these cavalry, and whether the formations arranged by the rear army could restrain the cavalry's charge.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder, the drums of war became more and more urgent, and the sound of trumpets became high-pitched. In order to cooperate with the cavalry assault, Duan Xuan and Wang Fang both launched an attack. The snow was falling more and more tightly, blocking the view, and nothing could be seen from fifty paces, and everyone could only judge the situation by ear, and they were all in a state of semi-blindness.

A war horse rushed into the field of vision of countless people, more war horses quickly approached, some knights on horseback held their war swords high, some pulled their bows and arrows, and the war horses soared into the air with four hooves, galloping at extreme speed, and rushed to the rear at a gallop.

Obviously, they planned to use the powerful impact of the war horse to break through the rear formation, and then storm the Chinese army, directly impacting Sun Ce himself.

Fifty steps were coming, and the knight on horseback opened his mouth wide, shot the arrow in his hand, and then grabbed the horse's mane tightly, ready to jump over the Wugang car and rush into the rear. At this moment, the horse suddenly lost its front hoof, fell to the ground, and threw the knight out. Although the knight was mentally prepared, he still didn't have time to react, he was thrown more than a dozen steps away, crashed into the Wugang car, was pierced by a spear, and hit the Wugang car with a bang, and the heavy Wugang car was violently shocked by him and almost overturned.

More horses fell, one after the other, as if they were contagious, and almost all of them were spared. The knights were caught off guard, and one by one they fell dizzy, like stones thrown by a stone thrower, and crashed into Wugang's car one after another. If it weren't for the archers, winders, and liling who were carrying the Wugang car on their shoulders, maybe there would really be a Wugang car that would have been knocked over by them.

Even so, the sound of crashing is nerve-wracking.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of war horses fell in front of the battle, screaming and struggling, some were pressed and couldn't get up, and some of them got up, but they couldn't stand steadily, and fell to the ground again. The knights were even more miserable, they rolled and crawled, trying to escape the fate of being trampled or crushed to death by the horses, but they found that something on the ground pierced their hands, and a hole in blood was pierced. Someone picked one up in his busy schedule, only to find that it was an iron quinoa thorn, four spikes, just the length to pierce a horse's hoof, let alone the palm or sole of a person's hand.

The knights turned their heads to look around, only to find that the width of the fifty paces in front of Wu Gang's chariot formation was densely packed, and there were such iron quinoa thorns everywhere, flashing with a cold cold light. They were terrified and tried to shout loudly to alert their companions behind them, but the sound of horses' hooves, neighing, and screams were so mixed that no one could hear what they were shouting. The snow covered their eyes, and no one knew what was happening in front of them, only to rush forward. The knights in front fell, and the knights behind rushed up, and by the time they realized that something was wrong, it was too late.

The charge stopped, and no knight could hit the Wugang car anymore, they had been blocked by their companions, and they were blocked by their companions behind, huddled together, unable to get out.

At this time, Wen Ping gave the order to attack, and the stone thrower began to roar, and a cloud of black shadows was thrown into the sky, flying hundreds of paces away, and landing among the knights. Many knights were hit, some were killed on the spot, and some were bleeding from their heads. With a muffled sound, countless clay pots shattered, and black liquid flowed out, staining the knight's body, face, and everywhere.

Before the knights could understand what it was, a rain of arrows broke through the wind, and Wu Gangche began to shoot. Unlike ordinary arrow arrays, these arrows are tied to the ignition, whirring, and as soon as they touch the black liquid, they immediately burst into flames. The knights desperately flapped the flames, but found that the black liquid was sticky and thick, and it could not be removed as soon as it was touched on the body, and the skin and flesh were sizzling, and even the iron armor was burned red.

The three thousand knights were blocked in the open space two or three hundred steps outside the rear formation, which happened to be within the range of the stone thrower and the Wugang car, and as the arrows landed, the sparks spread rapidly, and soon became a sea of fire. The fire was so fierce that even the snowflakes in the sky could not withstand it, and before it hit the ground, it was reduced to nothing, and it was blackened by black smoke.
