Outside Jiangling City, in the midst of the chaos, Xiao Maha, the general of the right guard, led the cavalry to rush and kill, the situation became more and more bad for the Chen army, and Xiao Maha relied on the war horse under his crotch and the horse lance in his hand in this melee as if he was in a no-man's land, and the pressure was getting bigger and bigger.

The enemy cavalry is more than expected, but Xiao Maha doesn't care about this, what he cares about is that the other party is not the Zhou army, to be precise, it is not the Zhou army under the command of the Zhou court.

The other party is not the army of the Jiangling Governor's Mansion of the Zhou State stationed in Ji Nancheng in the north, nor the reinforcements of the Zhou State in the west, it should be the Anzhou army that has rebelled against the Zhou court or the Xiangzhou army under its command, which can barely be called the Zhou army.

'Coming from the north, when did they take the city of Kinan?' They actually took Ji Nan City! Xiao Maha thought a little uneasy in his heart.

The Zhou army of the Jiangling Governor's Mansion guarded the city of Jinan, and it was said that there must be a fight when the Anzhou rebels went south, but now they were taken by the Anzhou rebels without a sound, so it seems that the other party is afraid that they have also united with the Liang army to go south, so that there is no need for their side to attack Jiangling desperately but retreat quickly.

Fortunately, the generals had already taken into account the worst plan when they discussed it last night: retreat, which was the last thing Chen Jun wanted to see, and everything stemmed from the attack on Jiangjinshu.

According to the news received last night, the loss of personnel after the attack on Jiangjin was not large, but the hoarded grain and grass had been burned to the ground, so that the army could no longer hold out for long in Jiangbei.

Originally, it was planned to attack the city with all its strength today, led by Xiao Maha and the cavalry that could not attack the city roamed around the periphery of Jiangling to intercept the Zhou army that was very likely to appear, but now the other party really appeared, although it was an Anzhou rebel, but the size of the force was no longer something they could block.

Seeing that he was about to capture Gangneung City, but with the appearance of this group of reinforcements, it had fallen short, so Xiao Maha's duty was to buy as much time as possible for the army to retreat, just as he turned his horse's head and prepared to continue fighting with the enemy cavalry, there was a horn sound from the south.

"General. It was the trumpet of the great battalion. The army is retreating!" A lieutenant general said beside him.

Attacking the city with all its might, but preparing for the retreat of the whole army. This ridiculous arrangement is the preparation arranged by the generals of the Chen army, and now it seems that the worst situation has occurred, so it is necessary to quickly withdraw the army to the south bank of the Yangtze River safely.

The naval forces stationed on the Fengcheng sandbank had already sent their warships to anchor on the south bank of Jiangling in the morning, where there was no suitable port, but it was not difficult for the personnel to get on board with the hastily erected simple trestle bridge, and it was still too late for the cavalry to cover the arrival of the large army and then retreat to Jiangjin Shu in the southeast to board the ship.

"It's all in vain again." Xiao Maha looked helplessly at Jiangling City, where some of the Chen Army flags had disappeared.

He joined the army at the age of thirteen, he dared to ride a horse and charge the battle alone, no one could stop him, he had been in the army for nearly 30 years, and he had never been afraid of anyone, but the situation in Chen was getting worse and worse, and all the states and counties north of the Yangtze River were lost, and the army of Zhou was on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and Chen Guojing's division was across the river.

Thinking about things that have nothing to do with the front of him made Xiao Maha, a general who has always watched and listened to all directions on the battlefield, lose his mind, and at this moment, a shout from others made Xiao Maha come back from his depressed mood.

"General, there's someone coming from the east!"

He looked up and saw that in the distance to the east, a horse was riding a horse and hundreds of cavalry were following closely behind, and it seemed that this one after the other seemed to be chasing here from the direction of Jiangjin Shu.

"Help, help!" On the horse in front of him, a man with a bloody face howled, his voice a little familiar, but the accent was a little leaky.

"It's King Shixing, quick, follow Ben to save people!" Xiao Maha said in an anxious tone, his eyesight was very good, and he could see that the person was Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, and he couldn't care so much at the moment, so he quickly led his subordinates to rush over to save people.

According to the plan set last night, Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, was sitting in Jiangjin, and if there were enemy reinforcements when attacking Jiangling, and his own side intercepted them, then Chen Shuling would attack from Jiangjin to respond. Now it seems that Chen Shuling brought reinforcements over, but he was intercepted by ambushes on the way.

"The general saves the orphan!" Chen Shuling, who had an arrow stuck in his face, shouted desperately, he was ambushed by an arrow halfway and escaped by luck, and was chased by a group of cavalry for several miles, so it was easy to run into his own troops. He recognized the leader as the fierce general Xiao Maha, and couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Xiao Maha led the cavalry to flank the left and right, protected the oncoming Chen Shuling, and then met the enemy cavalry who were chasing and killing, he rode forward and held the horse lance in his hand and rushed towards a forward of the enemy, the other party was about thirty years old, burly, and seemed to be the leading general of this cavalry.

'Just take you to Liwei!' Xiao Maha thought in his heart that he was fighting against the enemy, and the man seemed to see that Xiao Maha was the chief general of the cavalry of the Chen army, and he was also impartial to kill him.

Typical cavalry hedging are all hand-held horse lance to stab, not only to separate the opponent's horse lance, but also to adjust the direction of the homeopathic situation, and strive for a blow to poke it over, the length of the horse lance is generally above eight zhang, the lance is very heavy, ordinary cavalry use both hands need to hold the lance, and the instant impact of the horse lance collision is not ordinary people can bear, once the grip is unstable, it is to be swung open to reveal the flaw, not to mention the instant adjustment of the direction after the impact, re-align the person.

Xiao Maha sat down, the war horse galloped like flying, the other party's sprint speed was not far behind, the horses in the hands of the two sides quickly collided together, only to hear a bang, the two staggered, but they were all riding on the horse unharmed, and the cavalry behind them also killed.

Blood splashed, didn't someone fall to the ground from time to time, and the cavalry on both sides quickly completed the first confrontation and scattered for a melee, Xiao Maha s face was calm, but the hand holding the horse lance trembled slightly: Fang Cai is the impact of the blow has already made his mouth numb.

'He's a ruthless character!' He thought so in his heart, as a general who has been fighting for decades, Xiao Maha only relied on one confrontation to find out the opponent's catties: the strength is similar, but the opponent is a little stronger than him!

'The years are not forgiving. Xiao Maha, who was already in his early forties, sighed in his heart, thinking that if he was the same age as the other party, he would not be inferior in terms of strength.

The enemy seemed to be interested in him, and the two sides fought together again, and after a few rounds of fighting, they changed from hedging to riding horses together, each fighting with the lance in their hands.

The horse lance is a common weapon for the cavalry, but if you want to use it well, not everyone can do it, strength, lance is indispensable, Xiao Maha has a lot of strength, with the hard practice of the lance, the south and the north have rarely seen opponents for decades, so many years have met the good use of the horse lance, there are countless generals, but among them, they can be evenly matched with him, and even can have the upper hand, but there are very few.

After so many years, I finally met my opponent!

Xiao Maha's blood was boiling, the horse lance in his hand danced like the wind, turned into several long snakes and pounced towards the other party, and the horse lance in the hands of the enemy general protected himself well, not only defusing the attacks one by one, but counterattacking from time to time, the two rode their horses and galloped side by side, fighting in the chaos for dozens of rounds, and failed to distinguish the superiority.

The rest of the cavalry on both sides saw that the two fierce generals were fighting unstoppably with their horses, and no one had the courage to step forward to help, so the two fought all the way from the east side of the battlefield to the west side, and then turned around and returned to the east side, both sweating profusely, but still excited.

"Happy, I am Lanling Xiao Maha, the enemy general will report his name!" Xiao Maha laughed.

"Long live Jing Zhaoshi, this battle will definitely take your head!" The man shouted loudly.

"Long live Shi, let's find a useful horse lance in the next life!" After Xiao Maha finished speaking, he swept the horse lance to the front end of the opponent's horse lance with both hands, only to hear a snap The front end of the opponent's horse lance was broken in two!

In order to win in the cavalry battle, in addition to strength and lance method, there is also a key that is, the quality of the horse lance, Xiao Maha admires the opponent's first two are not inferior to his own, and at the same time, he has found that the horse lance he uses is defective.

A high-grade horse lance from the selection of materials, production methods, maintenance is very particular, Xiao Maha in the hand of the horse lance is a gift of the royal good-made, but his opponent is much inferior, through these dozens of rounds of confrontation from the impact sound and from their own lance feedback Xiao Maha judged that the opponent's horse lance should be slightly flawed in the army.

With that strength and lance method, it doesn't matter if you encounter a lower strength general, but if you encounter an evenly matched opponent, this is a flaw, and now Xiao Maha will break the opponent's horse lance, where can you kill the enemy without the lance.

Seeing that the other party was hit by this blow, his movements were scattered and the loopholes were wide open, Xiao Maha saw that he was stabbing the horse lance hard, but he didn't expect to be dodged, but before he could pull it back, he was caught by him with his armpit.

"You're a good lance!" Shi Wansui's face no longer had the panic just now, he knew that he didn't care about his horse lance, but he knew that he wanted to use a strategy to catch and indulge.

It is difficult to avoid the lance in the cavalry battle, but once you avoid the opponent's horse lance and clamp the lance, then the person who makes the lance has nothing to do, because when stabbing hard, the lance is usually holding the back of the horse lance with both hands, and the person who dodges the attack can use the armpit to clamp the lance and then hold the lance with one hand, and the person who grabs the lance is easier to exert force than the lance bearer, and the person who grabs the lance can 'throw' the lance out of the hand of the lance under the condition that the strength of the two sides is not much different.

"Bring it!" Shi Wansui shouted, holding the lance with the other hand, and exerting force with both arms at the same time, but then there was no unexpected resistance: the opponent directly let go of the lance, pulled out the saber, and rode his horse to slash at him.

Shi Wansui struggled to grab the lance, but the other party let go, resulting in excessive force, and his body shook, seeing that the other party pulled out a knife and cut it, he lost enough waist strength to turn around in an instant, and blocked it with a lance, only to hear the sound of gold and stone, and the saber slashed on the lance, leaving only a white mark.

"Good lance, leave the head on the neck!" Shi Wansui danced this horse lance and was about to fight, but Xiao Maha had already ridden his horse and ran away, he judged the speed of the horses on both sides, and finally gave up the pursuit.

The Chen Shuling who was chasing and killed before ran south, and there was no shadow, presumably he fled to the Chen army's camp, and now it is impossible for him to chase it, at this moment, more than ten horsemen from the north ran over, and one of them asked loudly: "The strong man is very skilled, I don't know which one of them?" ”

"I am the master of the Ma army under the command of the Yuwen Army, long live Shi." Shi Wansui saw that the other party's clothes were his own, so he could report his name.

"It turned out to be the lord of the Shi Building, and Yuwen made the king have an order: Don't chase after the poor, please gather your subordinates and withdraw."

Yuwen envoy, that is, Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Yu Wenming is also the commander of the army going south this time, Shi Wansui knew that the specific decision was not something he could talk about, so he gathered his subordinates and leaned north, looking at the high-quality horse lance in his hand, he looked at the south and grinned:

"One day I will fight you out!" (To be continued.) )
