Wang Hong, who also heard the prestige, was very worried. Is it the Han Army? Or Qiang riding?

The frightened Ma Yu and Ma Se, who could not care about the fatigue of the soldiers who dismounted and attacked the city at this time, hurriedly ordered the name and urged the army to mount. From the sound, the cavalry ushered in was only ten miles away, and the neat tapping sound gathered into a roar, which made Ma Yan understand that the cavalry ushered in was even more elite. Although the number of cavalry may not be as large as that of their own Qiang cavalry, the Qiang cavalry still has much strength to fight all day.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the cavalry that everyone had been waiting for finally crossed the hill and appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and it was the dark military flag with the word 'Xiang' waving in the wind. The feather killing army that saw the red man was rushing wildly in the dark night, looking a little weird.

"Array, raid!" Under the shouting of Ma Xuan, the Qiang cavalry barely gathered some momentum, intending to hedge with Xiang Ao's cavalry. It's not that Ma Yan doesn't want to evacuate, but now that the soldiers are tired, they retreat, and they can't escape the cavalry that has become a momentum, but there is still a glimmer of life in the charge. But when Ma Yan saw the military flag with the word 'Xiang', his face was full of remorse.

How strong the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is, Ma Yan has seen it, and he has even fought against it, even if he is prepared to fight, he can't get benefits under the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. And what about the elite of the Northern Regions, which is comparable to, or even surpasses? Ma Yu trembled slightly. And Wang Hong, who was on the city wall, was so excited that he couldn't be more excited after seeing the flag of the Northern Regions Army. Hold on, hold on! Wang Hong trembled his hands and slapped the battlements on the city wall (the short concave and convex wall on the city wall).

"Feather kill!"

"Kill!" Xiang Ao shouted angrily, and Yu Kill behind him followed closely, towards the Qiang cavalry who had just rushed out of the formation.

The shouts of killing began, and the two armies rushed! Feather Kill sped up, roaring like a hurricane towards the Qiang Rider and rushing towards it. Although the Qiang cavalry was tired, the horses were full of energy, and the speed of the raid was comparable to that of the feather kill. The distance of hundreds of zhang is just a blink of an eye.

Originally, Ma Yan still had a little luck in his heart, and he was able to fight with the Northern Regions Army and find the right time to retreat north. But after the two armies collided, Ma Di's heart sank to the bottom.

"Kill!" Xiang Ao and Dian Wei took the lead and swept towards the Qiang cavalry in front of them, and the tired Qiang cavalry was unable to resist and was cut down by the peerless two. The guards behind him followed, standing on the sides of the two, and they also opened and closed, or chopped or chopped, expanding the results of the battle. How did the Qiang cavalry, who had been fighting all day, fight against the Northern Regions army that suddenly attacked and killed them?

It's just that at the moment of the battle, the Qiang cavalry momentum was broken. Xiang Ao did not put on any formation, just used Xiang Ao and the two as sharp knives, and seemed to rush into the enemy formation a little recklessly. The formation of more than 10,000 Qiang cavalry was visibly split by the Northern Regions Army, slowly encroaching on the Qiang cavalry. Most of the Qiang cavalry who were weak were not directly killed by the Northern Regions Army, but were not wrestling enough, were shaken off their horses, and then trampled to death by the galloping hooves of both sides.

The entire battlefield was full of flesh and blood in an instant, and the screams continued. Especially near Xiang Ao, who was a sharp knife, the severed arms and limbs flew all over the sky, and the bright red blood brought out stained everyone. As the most elite cavalry of the Northern Regions Army, the armor is also the most carefully created by the Northern Regions Ministry of Industry, from head to toe, the armor covers almost the whole body.

Ma Jun learned the art of casting, I don't know what is mixed in many iron tools, even if it is covered by armor, it is only half the weight of ordinary pig iron, and the toughness has not weakened at all, comparable to fine iron. In this way, except for a few soldiers who were unable to use force and were shaken off their horses, the entire army cut melons and vegetables like leeks, and cut off the heads of the Qiang people.

The frightened Ma Yan brothers did not dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered the Chinese army and the rear army to turn around and evacuate. Intending to sacrifice the former army, he dragged Xiang Ao and prepared to flee.

"Brother, go away, Arthur is broken!"

Seeing that the three or four thousand Qiang warriors of the front army were ruthlessly slaughtered by the iron cavalry of the Northern Regions, Ma Se was not confident that the middle and rear armies would be able to escape. Ma Se shouted angrily, and without waiting for Ma Yu to respond, he led hundreds of guards under his command and the two thousand cavalry gathered to rush towards Xiang Ao's army without hesitation.

"Arthur!" Ma Yu raised his left hand and shouted in a trembling voice. It seems that he is still afraid of the Iron Rider of the Northern Regions, and he seems to be reluctant to give up his brother.

Ma Yu knew that after Ma Se broke off this time, he was afraid that there would be more and less luck. From childhood to adulthood, the two brothers have been intimate, not only sharing food, clothing, and clothing, but also their wives and concubines at home. Looking at the back of Ma Se leaving, Ma Yu cried sadly. But now that the situation is not the time for him to hesitate, Ma Yu slapped himself hard, turned around and roared: "The whole army obeys the order, crosses the Yellow River, and retreats north!" ”

The moment he turned around, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, slowly dripping, spilling blood all over the ground.

"Humph!" Xiang Ao, who was struggling to kill the Qiang cavalry in the battlefield, caught a glimpse of the Qiang cavalry fleeing in a panic, snorted coldly, didn't care, and continued to concentrate on killing the broken Qiang cavalry.

Perhaps knowing the mission he left behind, he left the broken Qiang riders to fight for their lives one by one, and was even more cruel to himself than to the enemy. When the sword is taken from him, he attacks the enemy who ravages his robe with his mouth, limbs, and even his head. If you are unfortunate enough to fall from your horse, you will also rush directly under the hooves of the Northern Regions Army, try to hold the legs of the Northern Regions Army's horses, or attack the cavalry horses of the Northern Regions Army with your short blade or mouth teeth, exchanging your life for your life.

An hour later, the noisy battlefield fell silent. The silver moon has replaced the cold sun in the daytime, wandering in the sky. The moonlight sprinkled with patches of silver, which actually made the bloody battlefield outside Hongnong City look a little warm. Dian Wei used the halberd in his hand to smash the head of Ma Se, who was still staring at him desperately in front of him, and spat fiercely.

Xiang Ao didn't care about Ma Se, and stood alone on horseback in the middle of the battlefield, probably after calculating the battle damage, his face was a little ugly.

About 6,000 Qiang cavalry were completely annihilated, and none of them survived, which was a great victory, but the hundreds of casualties among the elite in the Northern Regions made Xiang Ao's heart ache. The Qiang people are indeed tenacious, especially in a desperate situation, the Qiang cavalry who had been fighting all day still had the strength to fight back, so that Xiang Ao did not dare to despise it. Xiang Ao ordered people to collect the soldiers of the Northern Regions who died in battle, try to distinguish who they were, and as in the past, after cremation, they were placed in a unified manner with a wooden box unique to the Northern Regions that contained the ashes. After returning to the Northern Regions, he will be ceremoniously buried, and his name and merits will be engraved on the heroic monument that is still under construction in the Northern Regions.

Fortunately, there are still many Western Regions war horses that survived, so that Xiang Ao can still have some comfort in his heart.

After the battlefield subsided, Wang Hongcai led the few officials in Hongnong City out of the city to thank him. Xiang Ao, who was in a hurry to chase and kill the rest of the Qiang cavalry, was not too polite, refused Wang Hong's invitation, and after cleaning up the battlefield, he led the soldiers and horses to chase towards the Yellow River. Wang Hong looked at Xiang Ao's departing back a little sluggishly, angry, admiring, and unsettled.

In the end, he sighed helplessly, and after handing over the cleaning of the battlefield to his deputy, he led the few officials of Hongnong to the city with a little decline. Even if the Qiang people are tired, there are more than 10,000 troops. was killed by Xiang Ao's 3,000 elites with very few casualties, killed more than 6,000, and scared away more than 7,000, how many people in the world can have such results? Thinking about it, Wang Hong unconsciously fought a fight.

Thirty miles west of Hongnong, on the north bank of the Yellow River.

"Chief, the remaining 7,000 soldiers and horses have all crossed the Yellow River."

Ma Yan turned around, his eyes pierced through the Yellow River, which was not too urgent, and it seemed that he could see Xiang Ao who had not yet pursued through the dark night with a little moonlight, and his eyes were fierce on his calm face. Before Ma Yi could open his mouth to say his bold words, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling on the other side was heard again. Ma Yan's face changed, and he sighed in his heart: So fast!

In fact, it was not that Xiang Ao's cavalry was fast, but that the Qiang people were not good at water, and the speed of crossing the river was extremely slow. There are even several Qiang people who do not fall into the Yellow River and do not know whether they are alive or dead.

"The incompetent Qiang people dare to stay and fight with the general!" Ma Yan had just vaguely seen Xiang Aojun's figure, and Xiang Ao shouted angrily. After counting the next Ao soldiers and horses, Ma Yu's face was terrifyingly dark, and he couldn't give birth to a trace of fighting spirit.

For the sake of face, the Ma Xuan ghost made a god and shouted towards the other side: "Shameless Xiang Ao, wait for this king." When the king returns to Burndang today, he will raise a large army to come and avenge the soldiers under the command of this king! ”

After shouting, Ma Yu did not dare to stay any longer, and urged the army to rush to the north.

Ma Yan, who was anxious and far away, passed by many villages and towns, but he couldn't afford to have the slightest desire to plunder. Even passing by the plundered Hebei county, he did not stop and hurried away.

"Kill!" Just fifty miles after the county seat of Hebei, Ma Yan, who was anxious to flee for his life, was taken aback by the sudden shouting of killing, and thought that Xiang Ao was chasing him. He was about to line up to meet the enemy and rush away, but he was frightened by the shouts of the opposing generals and fled south again.

"You and other Qiang people, invade our Han people, and abuse our people. Chang Shan Zhao Zilong, the general of Anton under the command of Zhenguo Gong, is going to kill you and others here today! ”

When Zhao Yun saw the chaotic formation of the Qiang cavalry and the panicked look of the leading generals from a distance, he knew that his lord would definitely win a big victory, and the Qiang people were terrified. He shouted a long list of titles to intimidate the enemy. Not wanting it to really work, Ma Yu immediately turned his horse's head and headed south after hearing Zhao Yun shouting.

"Chief, what should we do if we are attacked on our backs?" The guard beside Ma Yan asked anxiously with a little fear on his face. Even if the Qiang people were not afraid of life and death, the scene of Xiang Ao abusing and killing his robe before still frightened many Qiang riders.

Ma Yan, who was galloping wildly, pondered for a moment with a calm face and said: "The army entered Hebei and sent the most skilled warriors to the Xin'an area, so that more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xin'an could come back to help." ”

When the guard heard this, his face was happy, and he said excitedly: "LinkedIn Ming." Hebei is a county seat, the city wall is high, we will defend it with all our strength, and we will be able to wait for the army to come back to help. With a sigh, the guards immediately rejected the waiting, and quietly left from the flank of the army.

"Enter the city!" When fleeing to the county seat of Hebei, Ma Yan found that the gate of the county town of Hebei was wide open, and there were no defenders on the city wall. After sending scouts into the city to investigate, they found that it was empty. Although in the future, time did not allow Ma Yan to think too much, Ma Yan had no choice but to lead the army into Hebei County, close the city gate, and arrange defense.
