Chapter 56: The Qiang Soldiers' Iron Carts Break the Army's Formation
The Qiang soldiers' unique iron chariots were powered by four horses, and the carriages were lined with sharp blades that could be used to smash through the crowd head-on, and blades on both sides to cut through the body. At this time, 2,000 iron carts were on the left and right sides to encircle the flanks of Pang Tong's army. When the soldiers saw such a car formation, they were so frightened that they all avoided it, and the formation was in chaos.
Seeing this in the Chinese army, Pang Tong had no choice but to withdraw his troops, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was fierce and fierce, and chased and killed all the way. Gao Shun, the general who was responsible for guarding Pang Tong's military formation, was tired of dealing with it at the moment, and he couldn't get close to Pang Tong. Seeing that the enemy soldiers were coming more and more, Gao Shun was even more difficult to withdraw. In this dangerous situation, Dian Wei shouted loudly to Pang Tong who was riding a horse: "My lord, follow me!" He had realized that he could not escape the enemy's position at the moment, and if he continued like this, Pang Tong would become their prey. Pang Tong knew this, but how could he abandon the army. When he hesitated, he only heard "Catch Pang Tong!", and his heart was even more distressed. Pang Tong had no choice but to lead more than a dozen cavalry with Dian Wei to escape from the formation, while LΓΌ Bu and Zhao Yun led the cavalry to bravely resist the enemy and buy time for the army to retreat.
Pang Tong rode his horse to the east, and most of the enemies thought he should have fled to the north. He set a path for himself. But after running for a while, the shouting of killing came from behind: "Pang Shiyuan, descend early!" β
He had heard this voice, this was Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, who chased after him with hundreds of horses. Seeing this, Dian Wei said loudly: "My lord will go first, I'll wait for the end!" β
Pang Tong refused to leave them, but before he could speak, Dian Wei had already turned around and killed them. Pang Tong had mixed feelings in his heart, so he had to flee all the way east, only to see the mountains appear in front of him. He didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and fled to the mountain and forest area.
After Dian Wei and the hundred cavalry were broken, it was certainly a drop in the bucket, and hundreds of Xiliang cavalry surrounded them. Ma Chao ran out of the formation alone and chased Pang Tong alone. Seeing this, Dian Wei rushed to kill, but the enemy was outnumbered, and they all came to pester him, seeing that Ma Chao had run away, he was so anxious that he shouted: "Damn! β
The three horsemen in the vicinity were so frightened that the cavalry fell off their saddles and fell to the ground.
Pang Tong went deep into the mountains and fled all the way up. The surrounding pine trees rustle in the wind. But the road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and there is no decent road any further, and it is already difficult for the horses to walk. Pang Tong had no choice but to turn over and dismount and pat the horse, but the horse did not move. Pang Tong mourned: "Go quickly!" I can't take care of you anymore. β
The horse still didn't go, so Pang Tong had to stab his sword on the horse's stock, and the horse ran down the mountain with a long neigh. Pang Tong walked up a steep path, surrounded by vines clinging to the rocky face, and the branches and leaves of towering trees entrenched overhead. As he walked, he saw a fork in the road, a path on his left and a valley on his right. He didn't think much about it, he was determined to escape, he chose the right side of the road, the road sloped downward, and gradually he saw a waterfall not far from the left-hand side, and a small stream lying in the valley, he walked over, knelt by the stream and saw himself in the water. There was no fear or joy on his face, but his heart was full of sadness, he never expected that he would have such a big defeat. What happened to my brother and Zhao Yun? Did Dian Wei get out? Will the armies be wiped out?
At this moment, a footstep frightened him, he hurriedly stood up, turned around to look, and saw Ma Chao wearing silver armor and strolling with an iron gun in his hand, with a mocking expression on his face. Pang Tong pulled out his double swords, cold sweat swept across his face, he had never noticed that fear was so close to him, death seemed to be doomed today, the reason was that he met Ma Chao, the fierce general of the Three Kingdoms.
In addition to the sound of the waterfall, there is only the subtle footsteps of horses in this small valley. Ma Chao, who was holding a silver gun, stopped ten steps away, there was no joy on his face, only coldness, he actually said as if he was throwing good intentions: "Huge man, you can be captured." β
Pang Tong snorted coldly and said, "Hugh wants to say such things, unless you kill me, I will not be a prisoner." β
Ma Chao said coldly: "That's the point of finding death." He rushed towards him like a cheetah, with a spear in hand. Pang Tong suppressed that strong sense of fear and shouted: "Hugh should underestimate people!" β
Swords and guns collide, and sparks splash. Pang Tongyi wanted to use the seven-star sword to cut his iron spear, but Ma Chao's attack was swift and there was no flaw at all. When Pang Tong retreated step by step, the spear he saw fell like a pear blossom, and he was dazzled, and the sword in his hand instinctively quickly blocked.
Ma Chao's eyes flashed with essence, and a shot passed through the armor, hitting Pang Tong's left shoulder. Pang Tong's right hand slashed with the seven-star sword, but Ma Chao quickly withdrew the gun in his hand. Pang Tong's breathing began to be rapid, and the blood hole on his shoulder was bleeding in addition to the pain. Ma Chao shook his head, revealing a contemptuous expression, which only angered Pang Tong.
Pang Tong's seven-star sword in his right hand slashed wildly, Ma Chao dodged left and right, and swept his sword away with one shot.
"But that's it."
Ma Chao walked up quickly and kicked Pang Tong to the ground with one kick. He finally showed the expression of a victor, raised the gun in his hand, aimed at the left shoulder of Pang Tong, who was just about to get up, he wanted to make his opponent powerless, and then capture it alive. But at this juncture, the sharp weapon broke through the wind, Ma Chao heard this sound, dodged to the side, and saw a halberd deeply pierced into the ground in front of him, blocking him and Pang Tong.
"Thief!"
I saw Dian Wei running over, like a galloping horse. As soon as Ma Chao was distracted by him, Pang Tong got up and ran quickly in the direction of Dian Wei. Ma Chao narrowed his eyes, aimed the gun in his hand at Pang Tong, and threw it violently. A moist voice was so subtle that Pang Tong, who could penetrate his body, had his pupils dilated, and he didn't even have a chance to let out a mournful scream, so he fell to the ground. The iron gun pierced the left side of the abdomen, and the wound was very serious.
Dian Wei was angry from his heart, and he walked like flying. Ma Chao pulled out the halberd from the ground. Dian Wei shouted: "Dog thief! β
Ma Chao was not in a hurry, and quickly stepped forward to confront him. Dian Wei's halberd swept away, Ma Chao retreated and stabbed the halberd out, which was shocked by Dian Wei's horizontal block. The two halberds are constantly fighting, and Ma Chao is obviously a master of guns, and the halberd is not as good as Dian Wei. And Dian Wei's strength is infinite, Ma Chao's hands are numb, and he thinks in his heart: "It's so strong, you can't fight for a long time." β
After more than ten more rounds, he took a few steps back and swept again. Dian Wei was about to step forward, but he ran away. After chasing for a while, seeing that his speed was faster than himself, Dian Wei had no choice but to stop, and Ma Chao had already run out of Xiaogu. Dian Wei turned around to look at Pang Tong, it was an iron gun that penetrated his body, and he saw that his eyebrows were upside down, and Pang Tong was already unconscious at this moment.
Dian Wei thought to himself that if he returned the same way, he would definitely run into the pursuers. He had to slowly pull out the spear first, and in the process Pang Tong woke up in pain, his face was pale, beads of sweat were like beans, and when he was completely pulled out, he fainted in pain again. Seeing that he was bleeding nonstop, Dian Wei was anxious, so he took off Pang Tong's armor, tore the sleeves of the inner lining, and tied up the two wounds. He knew that such an injury would be fated if he did not heal it immediately. But where is the doctor right now? He carried Pang Tong on his back and walked in the southeast direction, and then he came out of the small valley, which was a slope on the back of a mountain, which was very difficult to walk, and he walked cautiously, only feeling the blood seeping through the nail and overflowing from his back. Dian Wei gritted his teeth and walked downhill, and when he came to a small stream, he was about to step over, his body stopped sensitively, and a sharp arrow pierced his heel, and he looked up to see that a figure was squatting on a tree pole in the distance.
"Get out of here, this is my Wasai territory!"
It's a beautiful female voice like a silver bell. Dian Wei carefully lowered Pang Tong to the ground and untied Pang Tong's seven-star sword. He bowed down to the man in the tree and said, "Save my friend, if you can save him, this peerless sword is yours." β
The man jumped down from a three-meter-high pine branch, and his cat-like light skills surprised Dian Wei who sat up. The woman is petite, her face is as vibrant as spring, and her stunning brown eyes are staring at Dian Wei. Dian Wei calmly threw the sword over. The woman caught it and scanned the precious sheath with a suspicious look. She slowly pulled out the sword, making a pleasant friction sound, her eyes lit up, she quickly pulled out all the sword bodies, danced in the air for a while, and said, "Such a valuable gift, if it is exchanged for human life, it is also worth it." The mountain god should have taken pity on him, and let me meet him. β
She glanced at Dian Wei with a little deep meaning. Seeing caution and absolute vigilance, Dian Wei got up and stepped back some distance. The woman then walked softly to the body that seemed to be about to lose its life, took out the dagger from the leather boots, and cut the cloth ribbon soaked in red blood, and immediately her pretty face tensed.
As if witnessing hell, the woman froze, frozen in the horror of the horrific injuries in her vision. The fluttering brilliance in his pupils finally stopped, and he was trying to calm himself. She found a purple bottle from the black cloth bag around her waist, unplugged the red cloth cork, and sprinkled it around the wound as if indiscriminately. The green potion was like the blessing of the gods, falling in the sunlight and shining brightly.
Dian Wei anxiously admonished: "The iron spear runs through the back. β
How could the woman not know that the blood that spilled out of her back was clear at a glance. She put down the bottle and turned Pang Tong over with both hands. She spilled the remaining half of the potion onto the bloody wound. She searched for it in the bag again, but she frowned, and muttered with a little self-reproach, "Why did you forget to bring it?" β
Dian Wei frowned as if he had heard bad news.
The woman tore the inner lining of Pang Tong's upper body one by one, and the half-naked Pang Tong was entangled for a while. There was no more apparent blood spilling from the wound, only a patch of old blood. She looked up at the strong man not far away, and said, "I only brought Jin Danshui to stop bleeding, and I must send him to the village quickly." β
