Even if the two armies are fighting, they need to send out sentry scouts to detect the enemy in all directions. Especially for the Hu army, there is a horse rider Hondo, but those cavalry who are mixed with Hu are organized and undisciplined, and it is difficult to play a role on the frontal battlefield, so it is better to use them as horses; Second, what is the territory of the Jin people, who knows if the other party has reinforcements? At least where Guo Mo's department saw it was still a mystery.

Therefore, Liu Ji, Wang Teng and others sent out a lot of sentry spies to the north, but it is a pity that the comers knew the tactics of the Hu army, and they widely distributed hunting horses in advance and killed the horses, which made it difficult for those in front of them to return. As a result, his subordinates appeared on the north side of the battlefield in an instant.

This will not be him, it is Liu Guang, the left deputy governor of the "Qiji Battalion".

Liu Guang was originally a Huns, and he has been with the veteran Liu Dan for a long time and has rich experience. In particular, half of his subordinates are Hu people who have surrendered - Pei should try his best to break up the Hu people, but Beigong Chun doesn't care about that, he thinks that only by following his own clan and his own generals can this army exert its strongest combat effectiveness, and my "Liangzhou Horse" is an example - so they formed groups of three or five, searched and killed Hu army sentry agents on the road, and almost did not let the horses escape.

Guo Mo only got the news that the siege of Haoyang had been lifted and Pei should chase Hu south after crossing Shangluoshui, so he couldn't help but be surprised, hurriedly turned around, and went straight to the direction of Dali - among them, Wang Tang went to the mountaineering place and attacked Xiayangdu, and he couldn't come back for a while, so he just asked for it. Guo Sidao was afraid that Pei Gai and Zhen Sui would join forces, and their number would only be half of the Hu army, and it would be difficult to win in the plain duel, so he sent Beigong Chun to lead the main force of the "Qiji Battalion" to take the lead. Beigong Chun assigned various departments and went their separate ways, and Liu Guang took the opportunity to ask for orders and galloped ahead of the departments.

Liu Guangsuo led nearly 1,000 cavalry, first rushed to the Hu cavalry who was attacking the northern base of the Jin army, and these Hu cavalry encountered a pinching shot from the front Jin base and the side Jin cavalry, and was forced to go sideways. Wang Teng hurriedly turned the infantry and shot Liu Guang, but Liu Guang quickly made a circle and retreated to the side of the Jin base to guard.

Wang Teng sent someone to pass the news to Liu Ji, saying that fortunately, there were not many people in the Jin cavalry to help, and the general, you should quickly transfer all the cavalry in the middle to me.

However, the cavalry in the middle has not yet arrived, and another reinforcement from the Jin people has arrived - naturally it is the "Qiji Battalion" led by Beigong Chun and Luo Yao, with nearly 3,000 horsemen. Wang Teng saw from a distance that the enemy soldiers and horses were all tall and strong, and everyone was grown, carrying bows and spears, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's 'Liangzhou Horse'!" ”

Previously, Liu Guang led most of the Hu cavalry and Yong and Qin knights, who belonged to light cavalry in terms of troops, and mainly rode and harassed the enemy on the battlefield, and rarely did frontal fighting. The "Liangzhou Horse" behind this is different, first of all, the horses are excellent, and most of them are more than eight feet tall -

The former Han Dynasty had passed through the Western Regions, Emperor Wu made the second division general Li Guangli to go to Dawan to welcome the good horses, but the good horses entered the customs, the water and soil were not adapted, and most of them could not live for a long time, so after that, most of the military horse farms were set up in the dry and cold land of Liangzhou, and the Dawan horses were hybridized with the local horses for many generations, and their breeds were in the world - not the Hu people were accustomed to and, Hebei, Yong and other states and even the northern grassland horse breeds were comparable. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were 6,000 official slaves and maids herding horses in Liangzhou, and the number of horses was more than 50,000, and now under the rule of Zhang, the number is even more doubled.

Liangzhou both produce good horses, the local people are good at equestrianism, since the Later Han Huan Ling, in order to pacify the Qiang rebellion, the government is large-scale recruitment in Liangzhou, so not only the horse Liang, but also the soldiers are strong. First, there were Huangfu Gui, Duan Cheng, and Zhang Huan, known as "Liangzhou Sanming", all of whom were famous generals from Liangzhou; Later, there were Dong Zhuo, Han Sui, Ma Chao and other separatist forces that relied on the Liangzhou cavalry as the main force, which were passed down for several generations and formed their unique cavalry tactics.

When Cao Cao entered the Guanxi generals, his subordinates had the words "Guanxi soldiers are strong, Xi spear, and if you are not a selected striker, you can't be a striker". Although the scope of Guanxi and Liangzhou at that time was wider than it is now, and the enemy army faced by Cao Cao was not pure cavalry, but the Liangzhou cavalry was also good at using spears, which should not be false.

When cavalry was first produced, because there was no Takahashi saddle and stirrups, it was not suitable for hand-to-hand combat - of course, it is not excluded that a small number of brave men with superb riding skills could also fight hand-to-hand on horseback - often with guerrilla and cavalry as the main means of combat, and if you want hand-to-hand combat, you must dismount. The Takahashi saddle appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty at the latest, so that the rider could be fixed from the vertical direction, which was useful for the use of stabbing weapons on horses, the spear cavalry, came into being.

In this era, the most famous spear cavalry is Xianbei, especially the cavalry of the Tuoba clan, the Hu army has been repeatedly defeated and feared like a tiger; The second is the "Liangzhou Horse", if it is not for the small number, and at the same time the Jin monarch can not let go of the application, in the end the Zhang family has to protect Liangzhou, which is enough to fight against the Xianbei Xiaoqi - but there is also "Liangzhou Horse, rampant in the world; Liangzhou is a wolf, and the thieves are eliminated; The proverb "Flying Owls, Killing People in Fear" spreads everywhere.

Therefore, if the specific situation on the battlefield is not considered, the same number of Hu Hanxiao cavalry and the "Liangzhou Horse" will compete, and the former will definitely fall behind, so Wang Teng can't help but be horrified when he sees the arrival of the main force of the "Qiji Battalion". However, his messenger for help had already been sent, and Liu Ji, who was in the middle of the road, did not know the change in the situation, and soon sent more than 3,000 cavalry to the right flank and came out from the side.

Facing the "Liangzhou Horse", Luo Yao held a spear in his hand, led the crowd forward, dozens of cavalry formed a team, in the shape of a sharp arrow, more than a dozen squads of horses and hooves were mixed, and in an instant, they broke into the Hu cavalry, where the spear started, the Hu soldiers fell off their horses. Wang Teng hurriedly ordered the cavalry to retreat, and at the same time flanked the foot soldiers and used bows and arrows to stop the Jin cavalry. In this way, the pressure on the frontal promotion base is invisibly weakened.

But Beigong Chun and Luo Yao did not take advantage of the situation to go straight forward and trample on the Hu formation, but closed it with one blow and retreated to the side of the base - because they set off early in the morning and galloped for nearly 100 miles. The use of soldiers is like a fist, and it is overwhelming, so it is better to retreat and rest for the time being, and reorganize the queue.

At this point, the crisis on the left flank of the Jin army eased slightly, and after a while, Lu Yan gathered the defeated soldiers and replaced the tired Wang Ze's troops. The Jin soldiers in three directions were all based on the base, and on the surface, they looked pressed and beaten by the Hu soldiers, but in fact, the bows and arrows were exchanged, and the swords and spears were opposite, which could basically be regarded as a draw.

Pei Gai received reports from all sides in the formation, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief: if he continues to fight like this, he should be undefeated before dark.

In contrast, Hu and Han were anxious, and Liu Ji hurriedly sent a letter to Liu Cang, asking his brother to release more new troops - otherwise, if there is a little more battle, the red sun will sink in the west, not to mention whether this battle can be finished before dark, and then our army will charge against the sunset, and it will be difficult to open his eyes, maybe if he is not careful, he may be defeated!

Liu Cang got the report, couldn't sit still behind him, and personally led three or four thousand fresh troops, including his own Donggong guards, to the front line to watch the battle. Liu Ji waved his whip and pointed to the battlefield, saying: "The people of the Jin Dynasty are quite tired today, and the 'Liangzhou Dama' is also from afar, but they can retreat and are powerless to fight back. If I can find a little bit of it, throw in the new army, and tear up the formation, maybe there is still a chance to win. ”

Liu Cang said, brother, what you said is reasonable, but in which direction should you throw the new force in?

Liu Ji hesitated for a moment and replied: "In fact, there is no gap in the Jin formation, so if you want to break it suddenly, the only way to take Pei Gai'er is to take it." ”

At present, the Jin people are relying on the fortress to defend, and there are really no too obvious flaws, so if you want to rely on this new force to completely turn the tide of the battle, you have to rush straight to the front Pei Gai, if you can repel Pei Gai, the three armies of the Jin will collapse.

Liu Cang immediately took off the bow from the saddle and said loudly: "I should go in person and go to get Pei Cai's head!" ”

Liu Ji hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Cang's reins, and said repeatedly: "No!" This move is in danger, my brother is the commander of the whole army and the prince of the country, how can I take the risk? "Is there no one in the imperial court, and it is up to the crown prince to go to the battle in person?

But Liu Cang couldn't go, and Liu Ji himself didn't dare to go - he knew that his family was now full of fat brains, his body was stubborn, and he still had a chance of winning one-on-one with others, and he fought directly in the killing field, and his agility and durability were too poor - Lu Songduo, who was originally self-assured, had another injury on his leg, so who should he send to rush Pei's main formation?

As soon as the side general burst out in front of the two, he immediately gave his hand and said proudly: "The last general Ma Zhong is willing to go!" Liu Cang was overjoyed when he saw it: "This matter must be Qing." ”

Although the surname of this general is Ma, in fact, it is a noble breed of slaughter, his father Ma Jing, is a general in the Liu Yuan era, the official to the middle of the army - equivalent to the chief of staff of the armed forces - Liu He succeeded to the throne, had been ordered to attack Liu Cong, but then saw that the situation was not good and surrendered, counterattack Liu He, so Liu Cong era is still reused, has been to the position of the great Situ, and died of illness a few years ago.

Ma Zhong is from a family of generals, familiar with bow horses, and is only in his early thirties, just in the prime of life, conceited and unparalleled, and immediately asked for an order to attack the Jin base. Liu Ji reminded him: "Zhen Suiying should be by Pei Gai's side, extremely brave, and the general is careful." Ma Zhong pouted and said: "All the generals are afraid of Zhen Sui, in a certain opinion, just a southern barbarian, like a beast, how can anyone be afraid of birds and beasts?" If you go here, you can't behead Pei Cai, and you should also be dedicated to the head of Zhen and dedicated to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

So he personally commanded more than 2,000 living force Hu soldiers, and directly approached the Jin base. As soon as this new force was put into the battlefield, sure enough, the Jin army was a little unbearable, and Pei Cai had no time to transfer back to the tiger squat artillery, so he had to order Zhen to go into battle again. Zhen Sui has always been fighting on the front line, just seeing that the situation is a little more stable, he retreated and rested his legs, and when he heard the order, he came with a knife and a spear regardless of his fatigue. The shield he used in the past, when he rushed into battle, he didn't know how many knives and spears he had suffered from Hu Bing, and he had already been split, so he didn't need a shield at all, and imitated Chen An, with the right knife and the left spear, and the double weapon to fight the Hu army.

At this time, Ma Zhong had already crossed the antlers, rushed to the front of the trench, and then whipped his mount with all his might, and the four hooves of the horse rose up, and he leaped straight over the trench, and climbed the earthen rampart—mainly the fortifications were hastily built, and the trench was not very wide, and the ramparts were not high, only about four feet, like a breastwork. Several Jin soldiers came to stop them, but they were stabbed by Ma Zhong with a spear and in an instant.

Zhen Sui saw this Hu Shiyong from a distance, and couldn't help but have blood boiling in his chest, and immediately shouted: "Zhen Sui is here, Hu Er dares to fight?!" When Ma Zhong heard this, he squinted at it and sneered: "I was about to take the head of this barbarian!" The war horse flew on all fours, knocked down two Jin soldiers one after another, and went straight to Zhen Sui.

The two swords and spears intersected, Zhen Sui actually fell down, almost injured, and couldn't help but secretly say: "This Hu'er is really ......good" He is still playing double execution for the first time today, the spear in his left hand is too long, it is not easy to run, and the ten success force has fallen to seventy. Ma Zhong couldn't help but praise in his heart, and thought: "I'm on the horse, it's not easy to turn around, don't be taken advantage of by the barbarians, it's better to get off the horse and fight on foot......"

Originally, the mobility of the cavalry was very strong, but it had only entered the Jin base, and there were Jin people all around, and there were not many infantry cavalry on his side, so it was difficult for Ma Zhong to drive the mount. Therefore, the two generals were divided together, and Ma Zhong had just run out seven or eight steps away, so he took the initiative to dismount, turned his head, and fought Zhen Sui again.

Seeing that it was approaching, the spear was distracted and stabbed, Zhen Sui used the spear in his left hand to make a square, but he didn't move, and hurriedly dodged, the enemy spear grazed his breastplate and slid over, and the leather tie between the armguard and the body armor was immediately broken. As a result, Zhen Sui was burdensome and cumbersome on his left arm, and his movements were even more sluggish, and Ma Zhong collected his spear and stabbed again, forcing Zhen Sui to be overstretched, and he took several steps backwards one after another.

When the Jin soldiers next to him saw this, they were all shocked. The main role of the brave general on the battlefield is to cut the flag to chill the enemy's courage and win the enemy's morale, but once the victorious general is defeated, it will make the soldiers who originally had an almost superstitious worship psychology more fearful. Hu soldiers took the opportunity to fight one after another, trying to break the enemy in one fell swoop.

Pei Gai was only twenty steps away from the place where the two generals were fighting, sitting on the horse, seeing clearly, and hurriedly beckoning Pei Xiong: "Hurry up and help Zhen Sui!" Pei Xiong had just received the order, and somehow, in the midst of the noisy voices, Zhen Sui actually heard it—maybe it was pure intuition—and immediately shouted: "Don't come!" ”

He took two sharp steps back, then threw the spear in his left hand, circled the broadsword in his right hand, and completely slashed off the arm guard of his left arm before plunging in again. Ma Zhong stabbed him in the chest with a spear, and Zhen followed the side of the general, avoiding the enemy spear, and then his empty right hand suddenly poked out and grabbed the spear body.

The two generals each struggled with each other, Ma Zhong was two-handed, Zhen Sui only had one hand, and naturally fell to the downside, but Ma Zhong took two steps forward. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhen Sui simply let go: "Give it back to you." ”

He suddenly lost his strength, and Ma Zhong couldn't help but stumble backwards. Zhen Sui took advantage of the situation to bully him, swung a knife, and slashed at Ma Zhong's door. Ma Zhong's spear was outside, and he didn't have time to circle it back, so he had to abandon the spear as well, and while retreating, he drew a knife from his waist. Just as he was about to block the knife, he suddenly heard the sound of the golden wind behind his ears, and he tilted his head busily, and a feather arrow grazed his helmet and slammed past.

Just like that, his attention was slightly distracted, and Zhen changed his move in an instant, changed his straight slash to an oblique slash, and hit Ma Zhong's neck with a single sword. Ma Zhong shouted, and with the last breath of strength, Zhen retreated backwards, which could be avoided. Taking advantage of this, he glanced sideways behind the enemy general, and saw that the hateful Xianbei slave just lowered his bow, and then turned towards himself, his lips pursed, as if to say, "I didn't go over." ”
