Chapter 516: Decisive Horse Battle
The noisy sound of horses' hooves and human voices permeated the four fields; In the distance, there was a cannon sound, like thunder in the sky. But at this time, Ping An did not see a human figure, and only dark green bushes were around.
He drove west with his squad for a while, and the shouting of horses' hooves grew louder and louder. Soon he saw a light cavalry of the Han army standing among the hills, and the noise of killing was still far to the north.
Ping An ran the horse while watching the situation near and far. Suddenly, he slapped his horse and rushed over, and shouted, "What are you doing? What to do! ”
Everyone didn't know what was going on, but most of the soldiers recognized it as the cavalry commander Ping'an. Ping'an's figure and appearance, it is really difficult to find a second one in the world, just like a stocky square man on horseback, his arms are thicker than ordinary human legs, and the muscles and flesh on his shoulders are strands.
A military general clapped his horse and said, "There are many enemy horses here, and the general will not be able to advance north." ”
Ping An rolled his eyes, pointed to the general's nose and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The military general said: "The last general cavalry will always rely on Bifa." ”
"Why do you have to attack from here?" Ping An asked.
The military general said: "The last general is called Lai Bifa." General Ping, you have arranged the last general in this place. ”
At this moment, everyone turned their heads to look north, and the crowd became a little flustered, and suddenly it was noisy for a while. Someone shouted: "We have been defeated in front of us, and the enemy is chasing us!" ”
Ping'an still looked at Lai Bifa, reached out and knocked on the door of his head with his finger: "Why doesn't my head knock loudly?" ”
Lai Bifa turned his head to look at the rout army in the north getting closer and closer, and said with a nervous and ugly face: "General Ping, no one's head can knock too loudly, otherwise he will faint." ”
Ping An said loudly: "Come on, your head will definitely knock!" If it weren't for the head made of fish and wood, why would you use light cavalry so much? ”
Lai Bifa glanced at the north nervously again, his face was like pig's liver, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say: "General Huiping, the last general is called Lai Bifa......"
After scolding this general, he shouted in the army for a while. At this time, the rout of the Han King Army, which was chased over, was already approaching this place!
"Come on, carry the flag, follow the general!" Ping An shouted.
Lai replied: "The last general will be ordered! ”
Ping'an not only asked Lai to carry the flag, but also handed the shield and axe in his hand to Lai and asked him to hold it. Lai put the shield and axe up and down on the horse's back to borrow strength, which also looked a bit hard.
A loud whistle came out, and Ping An took his finger away from his mouth, pointed to the hills in front of him, and shouted, "Brothers, go!" ”
Lai Jiang hurriedly said: "General Ping, in the forest in front of your right hand, there are ambush soldiers!" ”
Ping An didn't pay any attention to it, and set out to the northwest with the herd. All the soldiers kicked their horses and shouted, and accelerated to follow Ping'an's side. The rout of the Han army surging from the north ran around, and the strings behind were "crackling", and the enemy light cavalry chased after them, chasing after the light cavalry of Ping'an.
As expected, after a while, in the forest on the right side of the northwest direction, directly in front of Hei'an, some enemy horsemen gradually walked out of the woods and were preparing to block the Heian Department in front!
"Huh......" Ping'an whistled and shouted, "Go left!" ”
The surrounding Lai General and others followed closely behind Ping'an, and the military flag began to turn left and detour to the west.
The enemy pursuers behind also immediately changed direction and turned left. Because the herd of horses of the Heian Department turned a larger turn in front, and the pursuers directly behind made a smaller turn and a detouring turn; Therefore, the distance of the enemy's pursuers is shorter, and this bend allows the pursuers to quickly approach the Heian Division!
The two armies made a detour to the left, and the official army caught up with the Heian army in an inward bend, so it was on the left.
This change is very short! Ping An suddenly drew his bow and arrows and shouted, "Brothers, let loose the arrows at will!" ”
"Bang bang...... The Ping'an Army's cavalry shot sounded like fried beans, and the air was densely packed with arrow feathers, like flying locusts. The screams of the left flank were everywhere, and the enemy soldiers were constantly falling from their horses.
In just a short time, the Heian soldiers fired about two arrows each, and the enemy horse team suffered heavy losses. There were many empty horses in the enemy's herd, and they continued to run with the torrent of cavalry, but many of them were no longer on their backs.
The enemy's return fire is almost useless! Because they could not return fire to the Han army in the near distance, the light cavalry running on the left side, unless it was a left-hander, it was difficult to shoot at the Heian tribe on the right; Enemy soldiers can only shoot to the front of the side, and the damage is much worse.
Ping'an shoots arrows at a much faster speed than the sergeants, and his movements are so light and fluttering that it is easy to suspect that the bow is not fully drawn. Then at this moment, there was a "click" sound, and the riding bow in Ping'an's hand was broken alive!
"Bring the bow!" Ping An shouted, but he didn't forget to talk nonsense again, "Brothers, isn't it like a grass target?" ”
The surrounding cavalry shouted in response.
The army fired two rounds of arrows in a row before the enemy reacted and began to turn to the Heian army to charge diagonally and move closer to the flank melee combat! But by this time the fighter plane had been lost, and it was too late, and many enemy soldiers had slowed down and wanted to run.
Ping'an also shouted and gradually slowed down his horses, and the troops followed the military flags one after another. After a while, the pursuers turned around and began to retreat; The Heian Army turned from fleeing to pursuing, and rushed after it.
The enemy ran very fast, and for a while, the Heian army did not let it catch up. However, the enemy ambush soldiers who had come out of the woods not long ago did not turn around so quickly, and they rushed directly from the left front flank of the Heian Division.
The horses and shots of both sides crackled and crackled intensively, the air "swished" straight out, and the neighing of horses and the shouts of people were loud, as if resounding throughout the whole land. The number of horses with empty backs in front of them gradually increased.
Moments later, the two armies engaged the enemy. The soldiers drew their swords one after another, and everyone on the back of the galloping horse, cut when they approached the enemy, and the sound of the blades fighting on all sides was noisy.
Ping An has obtained an axe and shield from Lai Jiang, and he is invincible in the army, facing an enemy soldier with an axe, without any superfluous movements, not even a move. Ping An only slashed at the enemy soldiers, no matter what the opponent did, there were few people who could block such a heavy iron axe.
Peace was not at the front, but when the brothers in front of him were dead, he rushed to the front of the center, and walked up and down the enemy's ranks.
In less than a stick of incense, the enemy soldiers were defeated. The chasing horses that had been shot half-crippled before did not dare to come up at this time, and ran straight to the north.
Ping An took out a white silk handscroll and wiped the blood on the axe. Lai General caught up, hugged his fists and said: "General Ping is like a god, and he is brave!" The end will be admired. ”
"It's useless to pat the horse. Lao Tzu didn't cure your sin, you go and burn incense. Ping An scolded, "Learn a little!" ”
Lai turned his head sideways in shame, clenched his fists and said: "The last general will be guilty!" ”
Ping'an said: "Come and shoot, gather the rout, you continue to attack north, if you can win, you will fight, if you can't win, you will run!" Until you find one or two enemy forces that can be won. ”
Lai said: "The last general is called...... Order! ”
Ping An patted the horse and rushed out for a while, and suddenly turned around and asked, "You can't even find a force of men and horses who can win, right?" ”
