The moonlight was not bright that night, obscured by the black clouds. The patrol walked half a mile to the east of them, in the direction of the north. The Wasai held their breath as they waited for what appeared to be a patrol or a spies to pass by. When the sound of horses' hooves could not be heard, only the cold wind blew, Badar was the first to stand, and he was the only one in the group with his shield. The others stood up with a look of concern, but on the one hand they looked at the bamboo basket with great concern, for fear that they would break it when they just lay down. Because the contents are not like corpses that can't move, and they don't wait obediently like chestnuts. There's the devil in it, disturbing and frightening, it's restless, it's crazy. But the Wasai people keep it with anticipation and palpitations.

The Dazhai of the Yizhou Army showed his broad and tall figure on the plain. Firelight everywhere. After the people approached, they kept crawling forward. They came quietly to the fence half a mile from the doorway, and then one by one they stood up cautiously to make sure that the devil had not run away.

Badal raised his scimitar and slashed into the void. It's a signal. The surrounding Vasai warriors, who were standing in a row next to the horses surrounding the camp, threw the bamboo baskets in their hands hard. The bamboo-woven baskets traveled some distance in the void, leaped safely over the fence a foot high, and fell down in turmoil. Then the voice of an animal rang out in small pieces. These devils don't like to talk, so their voices are small and weak. It's almost impossible to notice, and when a breeze blows, their tracks disappear.

The Wasai immediately turned and prostrate away. Probably when they had already left Dazhai more than a mile away, when they had already begun to run on the plain under the moonless night. The devil from Hades has been discovered.

It was a strong soldier, and he looked at the basket that was a little crooked, and then held the handle of a deliberately extended bamboo strip on it. He walked over to the brazier with a bamboo basket and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes locked on him through the gap between the bamboos. He threw away the basket in horror, and it shook as it fell to the ground. It seems that there is an infinite power inside that is trying to spill out. At this time, a few more people came and also picked up this kind of basket. These baskets are densely divided on the edge of the camp. They were a little puzzled, and then someone pulled the basket away with a lot of force.

Suddenly!

The devil leaped out, a gray figure, moving quickly and in a leaping rhythm. Immediately submerged into the darkness of the corner beyond the reach of the brazier. Then someone pulled it open or cut it with a weapon in his hand. There are gray and white ones, and these demons are busy here. The bright red eyes reveal the murderous aura brought by the small body.

Someone was surprised and said, "Is there something wrong with the brains of those food classes?" How do you throw things around? ”

One man triumphantly caught a devil. He carried two long, large furry ears, looked at the white guy with a slight gray spot, and smiled, "These rabbits are so fat." ”

"Ahh

Someone screamed in pain that he had been bitten while catching a rabbit. He obviously watched the big snow-white rabbit churn his ears as it jumped, and then passed by him, but just as he wanted to pounce. The rabbit jumped at him instead, biting him on the left side of his face, and a trail of blood flowed down his face.

These rabbits are aggressive and are constantly being bitten by people around them.

"Are these gadgets crazy?"

The soldier who had been bitten on the back of his hand was enraged and drew his saber from his waist. The figures moving rapidly between the tents were streaked with red light.

It was a sunny day, and Pang Tong's army finally came out of the village. After a long truce that seemed to be suffocating. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to go on the expedition without the enemy's provocation. They set up in front of the potholes. On the one hand, he sent people to Linwei County to challenge. But Ma Teng has already been rewarded by spies. When he heard the news, he couldn't bear it. He was well prepared for this decisive battle.

Ma Teng's army came out of the east gate of the city, and slowly advanced after the formation. The 40,000 cavalry of the Pang Tong army were all arranged in ten phalanxes at a long distance, and they seemed to be separated from the army. But Ma Tengjun didn't take it to heart, he only thought it was funny about Pang Tong's strategy. How can there be a head-on conflict, and the whole army will be split in half, and it will be at least three miles away. If these cavalry were behind him, they could indeed have the effect of a flanking attack, but that direction was on the right rear of Pang Tong's main army.

The two armies faced each other.

Pang Tong didn't need to speak, his brother had already gone into battle. Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand and shouted: "Xiliang people, who dares to fight with me!" ”

Ma Teng's third son, Ma Xiu, was young and vigorous, holding an iron halberd and riding a black war horse. Ma Chaoyu frowned in the formation. Ma Teng was silent, that is, he was out of battle, how could there be a reason to call him back. But Ma Chao has fought with Lu Bu, knows how powerful he is, and knows that Ma Xiu's martial arts are under him. Ma Teng had always heard about Lu Bu Wuyong and was very worried.

For now, I have to watch the battle. Unexpectedly, in the first round of the intersection of the two horses, Lu Bu swung his halberd and cut off Ma Xiu's halberd shaft.

"Ignorant child!"

With Lu Bu's angry shout, Fang Tian's halberd slashed over and cut Ma Xiu in half from shoulder to abdomen. Ma Teng's chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he was in pain. Seeing this, Pang Tong waved his sword and said, "Charge!" ”

The two armies collided violently. Ma Teng was angry in his heart, and immediately ordered the powerful and difficult Iron Chariot Army to separate from the Chinese army, and gallop around the army on the left and right wings. These iron chariots, dragged by four majestic Xiliang war horses, had sharp blades on both sides. The Pang Tong army, who still remembered the power of these iron chariots, seemed to be demoralized, and many began to look for a way to escape, as if the chariot would speed past them at any moment.

It's at this juncture. The thunderclap that the soldiers of the Pang Tong Army had heard in the clear sky reappeared.

"Bang! Syllable! ”

A group of soldiers placed red sticks on the ground, as they had done during the previous secret drill. Then rub it with saltpeter and ignite a small piece of paper rope wrapped in nitrate powder and kneaded into a pinch at the bottom of the red stick. Then, for them, it was still a very peculiar situation, the thing that Pang Tong called the fuse "swished" burned, when it burned out, the flame burned inside the red stick, "bang", the whole stick rose into the sky, and shattered into countless "red flowers" after a loud "snap" in the air.

The sound was so dense and sudden that the roar was so loud that even the sound of horses' hooves could not be heard clearly. Countless red shredded paper flew down the sky. The cavalry of the Pang Tong Army, who was watching the battle from afar, clearly saw that it was a red stick that flew into the sky, and it exploded all at once. They tightened their grip on the reins. But the more practical situation is that all the cavalry of the Ma Teng army are all out of order, and the war horses are rampage, and those war horses pulling iron carts are no exception. The infantry of the Pang Tong Army took the opportunity to charge hard, trying to bypass the cavalry that were coming in chaos. They attacked the Ma Teng army, and the almost deposed Ma Teng cavalry was even more unimaginably chaotic, and those battle-hardened cavalry would not forget this scene that they had never seen in their lives. Many veterans have been thrown off their war horses, and in their eyes, these war horses they once knew seem to be crazy. The horses barked, or got up, and jumped wildly. Some of the horses were even loaded with other horses or crashes. The four iron chariots either collided with each other, or due to the fact that the horses themselves jumped to the ground in a rage, and most of the iron chariots all toppled over. Some of the war horses were twisted together, but the iron car did not fall, and it was considered a waste. The situation of the Maten cavalry was very bad. Extremely chaotic. What Pang Tongjun has to do is to avoid these madmen.

The red explosion disappeared into the sky, and the smoke filled the sky like a gray-white cloud. Under the flocks of red leaves scattered like falling pear blossoms, the cavalry of Pang Tong's army began to charge, like a sharp sword piercing into the ranks of these stopped madmen. Those who fell to the ground or could not get on their horses were powerless, and some of them only needed to be mended with a knife if they broke their bones. When passing by the iron carts that had been overturned, which had been tricky, the crowd was even more merciless, and some even ran off their horses and killed the Qiang soldiers who were crushed under the carts, or who had fainted while still pulling the reins.

After cleaning up Xiliang's strongest and proudest cavalry, those infantry were not a problem at all. Pang Tong's army and horse infantry took advantage of the victory to kill. Ma Teng saw that the general trend had gone, and together with Ma Chao, he led more than ten horses to flee in the direction of Linwei County.

Pang Tong's army got all the horses, horses, and iron carts of the Ma Teng army, and captured more than 20,000 people. The commander of Pang Tong's army drove straight into the county town of Linwei in the evening, and the defenders of the city were less than 2,000 people. Ma Teng knew that he couldn't stand it with this, so he simply opened the west door with Ma Chao and fled. When the defenders saw this, they abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and opened the south gate. After Pang Tong's army entered the city, he pacified the people.

Those iron chariots are relatively strong, and even those that fall badly can be repaired by the craftsman. In order to confront the Pang Tong army, Ma Tengjun has been building this kind of equipment. After the Battle of Tangping, because the Iron Wheel Army broke through the Pangtong Army and showed its superior combat effectiveness, Ma Teng's Army insisted on building, used a large amount of iron ore, and also purchased it from Liu Yan. At present, more than 3,500 iron cars are all owned by Pang Tongjun.

In this battle, a secret unit of the Pang Tong Army called the "Fengming Battalion" surfaced. They used a weapon that Pang Tong called the phoenix cannon, which could soar into the sky and explode, frightening birds and beasts when it roared. Excellent against cavalry. Pang Tong was strict with the secrecy work of this unit. The technology of manufacturing phoenix cannons is even stricter.

After the victory, Pang Tong was not in a hurry to go on the expedition, he knew that Liu Yan's army on the east had begun to attack, so he ordered the Qiang people who were taken prisoner to assist in the training of the iron chariot cavalry. After two days of urgent searching, after basically mastering the essentials, he ordered Xu Huang to lead more than 3,000 iron cars to the east and rush to Chencang County to help.
