Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 65 The Battle of the Plains
The leader of this team of cavalry is Xiang Ang, followed by the golden armor of the Rust Che and Si Heng Department, Ling Feiyan is also among them, as the cavalry gets closer and closer to the south gate, the entire cavalry formation suddenly changes: the leading cavalry began to slow down and the cavalry in the rear put on a four-vertical and four-horizontal formation, as soon as the formation was placed, it was immediately divided into two phalanxes, and quickly galloped in two different directions, vacating the middle position There were many unridden horses, and these ownerless horses were still rushing towards the south gate. Just a few miles away from the south gate, the ground collapsed, and the horses neighed and fell, and blood splattered all over the ground. Si Heng looked into the pit, and sure enough, it was a trap that had been prepared long ago, which was full of thick barbs, densely packed, and once he fell into it, there was almost no chance of survival.
"Treacherous villain!" Si Heng spat out, but the hooves of the horses under him were tripped by some linear object, and before Si Heng could react, huge black cages suddenly popped out of the land around him, bringing up bursts of sand and dust as the cages took off.
"Be careful!" Ling Feiyan, who was following behind, yelled at Si Heng, and just when the sound reached Si Heng's ears, those empty black cages exploded one after another, accompanied by a piercing explosion sound, and the white powder that spread out from it was suddenly sprinkled on the face and body of the Xuanjia Army soldier, and Si Heng's instinctive reaction made him block the white powder with his hand, so that it was not sprinkled on his face.
"What the hell?" Si Heng sniffed the powder and found that there was no smell, and in confusion, Ling Scarlet Yan came to his side, because she fell at the back of the team and reacted quickly, Ling Scarlet Yan was not contaminated with the powder, she grabbed Si Heng, so that the two of their mounts were forced to slow down the pace of running.
"There's definitely something wrong with this powder!" Ling Feiyan wiped some powder with her fingers and carefully identified it.
"It's too late to find out what this thing is, we can only rush to the south gate quickly, Xiang Duwei is already far ahead of us!" Si Heng ignored Ling Scarlet and wanted to gallop wildly.
"A reckless man!" Ling Feiyan roared angrily: "This is Mida Zeng Qing! Odorless and non-toxic! ”
"Since it's non-toxic, what are these Donghu people talking about?"
"But it has one property, it must not touch water!"
"What?"
Before Si Heng turned his mind, another cavalry in front of him tripped and broke the line, and once again lifted up balloons that seemed to be made of animal stomachs from the ground, which were bulging inside, connected to each other with ropes, and at the moment of taking off, through the pull of the ropes, the balloons exploded one after another, and the clear water gushing out of them splashed on the faces and bodies of the soldiers. At the moment when the water droplets fused with the powder, puffs of white smoke began to rise, and with the hoarse roar of the warriors, the cavalry of Xuanjia fell off their horses one after another.
The sudden scene stunned Si Heng, he hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran to the side of the warrior, only to see that the bare parts of the warrior's body began to appear obvious ulcers, accompanied by the fishy smell of white smoke, the skin and flesh instantly turned into blood, and the pain made the warrior roll on the ground, screaming again and again. As a cavalryman, the most exposed part is the face, and those warriors who have been sprinkled with powder too much will have a faint white bone on their faces in a few moments. Not only the bare parts, but the hemp clothes that were not covered by armor could not stop the powder that met the water, and after melting the clothes, they continued to corrode the skin and flesh fiercely, and those war horses were even more bloody at the moment because of the powder, and for a while, the neighing of horses and the screams of soldiers on the battlefield filled every inch of the battlefield.
"What kind of magic is this?" Si Heng saw that hundreds of brothers were being recruited one after another, and shouted in pain and grief.
"It's too late to explain! This is the trap laid by Donghu, with evil intentions! Ling Feiyan pulled Cheese Heng "Hurry up and get on the horse!" ”
Si Heng looked at Ling Scarlet Yan, and his mind turned quickly, "I guess there should be no traps ahead, Donghu must have sent troops to deal with us at this moment!" With that, he looked behind him, and sure enough, he saw a thick cloud of smoke and dust approaching them at a great speed.
"Division! Where is the division number? Si Heng began to shout frantically around until a person lying on the ground dozens of meters away barely stretched out his arm and began to sway. Si Heng and Ling Scarlet Yan ran to him and took the trumpet, and Si Hao swallowed his last breath in pain as if he had completed his mission.
"Woo woo" The high-pitched horn unique to the Xuanjia Army spread from Si Heng, and the cavalry of the Xuanjia Army, which had not been ambushed, immediately repositioned their position to face the enemy in front. Si Heng and Ling Feiyan also quickly joined the military formation.
"Captain Xiang, you're injured!" Ling Feiyan found that Xiang Ang had festering wounds on his right arm and neck, and without Xiang Ang's words, he immediately took out a porcelain bottle the size of a finger and applied a jelly-like green ointment to Xiang Ang's wound. "Captain Xiang, this medicine can't heal your wounds, but it can prevent the wounds from getting worse, but it's a pity that I only have this vial with me, and I can't help my brothers."
"The Donghu people actually used such despicable means to ambush, we want them to see the power of the Xuanjia!" Xiang Ang stood in the middle of the military formation with his chest up, glanced at the Xuanjia soldiers who were rolling and struggling on the ground, gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Array, meet the enemy!" ”
"Hahaha, Xuanjia Army, this time I saw how powerful this Yaba is!" That Shi Mingyu grinned wildly, "Come on, Donghu warriors, tear those Xuanjia troops apart!" ”
Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Du Mo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Yaba-sama, this time you have won, but don't forget the agreement between us." ”
"The warriors of Donghu have always been the most trustworthy, and this clever plan is thanks to Master Arodo!" Before Shi Mingyu could be happy, a Donghu soldier ran up and reported, "The Xuanjia army is divided into three ways and constantly harasses our army guarding the other three gates, so that the three armies cannot come to converge!" ”
"It's a bit of a Xuanjia Army, and if it's too easy for Honyaba to win, then it's not fun. Those Xuanjia soldiers are divided into three ways just to harass rather than attack, it is conceivable that there must be not enough people, since this is the case, let us Donghu warriors play with them, and wait for the remnants of the south gate to be cleaned up, and then break them one by one! Na Shi Mingyu ordered loudly: "The whole army will go out and completely destroy the enemy at the south gate!" ”
When the Donghu soldiers retreated, Du Mo suggested: "Lord Yaba, you can't take those remnants lightly, let Aroldo go and help." In addition, the people of the Central Plains have always believed that soldiers are not tired of deceit, and if all the guards here are dispatched, they are afraid that the Xuanjia army will take the opportunity to sneak attack! ”
That Shi Mingyu looked back and thought for a while, "What Master Dumo said makes sense, then Master Rauarodo will go to help, fight quickly, solve those remnants of the Xuanjia and immediately return to defense!" ”
Xiang Ang's cavalry team of 2,500 people was lost nearly half after being ambushed, and although the water powder was vicious, it would not immediately take people's lives, and seeing the brothers who had fought side by side die after struggling in pain, the remaining Xuanjia soldiers were full of strength to settle the account. Si Heng and Ling Feiyan held the ring-headed sword, and like all the soldiers, they stared closely at the Donghu cavalry running towards them.
"First team, rush!"
With Xiang Ang's order, a row of soldiers at the front of the team held spears in both hands and shouted, stabbing the mounts of the Donghu cavalry running in front of them, and stabbed the spears into the chests of the war horses, causing the horses to jump up or fall sideways, and the cavalry on them fell down. Although the first batch was attacked, the war horses in the rear couldn't hold back at all, and the second and third groups of war horses rushed up again, and the first batch of soldiers of the Xuanjia Army quickly retreated and were filled by the second group of soldiers with spears.
Such a confrontation lasted only two rounds, and ended because the Donghu cavalry rushed into the Xuanjia army formation, the Donghu cavalry rode on horseback, and took advantage of the position to swing their knives and slash at the Xuanjia soldiers below, and the well-trained soldiers of the Xuanjia army immediately jumped up to kill the enemy, and cut the Donghu soldiers on the horse off the horse, for a while, the battle between the two sides was inseparable.
After Si Heng and Ling Feiyan cut down a few Donghu soldiers respectively, they gathered at Xiang Ang's side again, guarding them to the death, and Xiang Ang gradually lost his strength after several rounds of fighting, and the pain of the wound hit again, making his face pale.
Donghu sent nearly 10,000 men and horses, while Xiang Angbu had less than 2,000 people left, and as the battle continued, the Xuanjia army began to decline, and continued to retreat towards the south gate. As the south gate of the feud became clearer and clearer, even the mottled blood stains on the city wall could already be seen clearly, but Xiang Ang's uneasiness became more and more serious.
It stands to reason that the battle outside the city is so fierce that the Guangyuan army inside the city should open the city gate to help at this moment, but now there is no movement, there must be something wrong with it! After Xiang Ang figured it out, he realized the hidden danger and shouted to the retreating vanguard: "Stop, don't retreat!" ”
It's a pity that Xiang Ang was still a step late, and the retreating warriors had just reached their brains when the difference in foot sensation brought by stepping on a piece of land had just reached their brains, and before they could figure out what was going on, they were pierced through their bodies by the tall and thick blades in the pit. After a loud bang, an impassable trench was split between the south gate and Xiang Angbu, and the trench was littered with sharp knives and the corpses of the warriors who had just fallen into it.
"Damn!" Xiang Ang was so excited that he spit out a mouthful of blood, but fortunately he was supported by Ling Feiyan.
"Shameless!" Si Heng's eyes were red, and the ring head knife in his hand was held tighter, "Donghu Zai, I'll fight with you!" Si Heng rushed to the front of the team and ordered: "Brothers, we have no way back, line up!" Fight to the end with the miscellaneous people of Donghu! ”
Scold! The Xuanjia warriors once again mustered up their fighting spirit and once again formed a battle formation at great speed. At this moment, the Donghu army slowed down the pace of the attack, and a man wearing an iron hoop and a cloak of flowers, silver soft armor, and knee-high riding boots, a head taller than the Donghu soldiers, appeared in the middle of the Donghu army. When he got closer, Si Heng saw the person's face clearly: his left eye was a hole in a black hole, and there was a long and thick purple scar on his right lip and right ear, and his face was extremely hateful. This person walked to the front of the army, reached out and took off the half-moon scimitar that had been wrapped around his body before, held it in the middle of the scimitar, and dragged up with the other hand a Xuanjia Army soldier who was still twisting and struggling, the man put the half-moon scimitar against the back of the warrior's neck, and then made a voice as if it came from hell, "Even if you surrender, I will kill you one by one, Liang Gou is optimistic, he is your fate!" As soon as the words fell, everyone only felt a silver-white sword light flashing so that people couldn't open their eyes for a while, and when they opened it again, the Xuanjia warrior was already in a different place.
The man raised the half-moon scimitar, blood dripping from the blade of the blade, not staining the scimitar in the slightest. The man said to Xuanjiajun: "Kneel down and beg for mercy, maybe I can be kind, otherwise I will ......." Before he could finish speaking, he felt a gust of sword wind blowing towards him.
Following the direction of the knife wind, the man fell on his back and quickly flipped on the spot, Si Heng missed a move and followed up, and the machete slashed down according to the man's face. While! The harsh sound of cold weapons hitting each other was transmitted between the two of them, and the ring head knife and the half-moon scimitar were in one place, and with the master's secret force, the squeaky sound continued to make at the junction of the blades. With just this move, Si Heng appreciated the strength of the enemy, and at this moment, his tiger's mouth was already numb.
Hum! The man laughed, and with the pulling of the muscles, the scars on the corners of his mouth were more obvious in front of Si Heng, and the slightly exposed yellow teeth made people feel sick to their stomachs. Si Heng took out his leg to attack the opponent's lower plate, the man retracted the knife and defended it, grabbed the gap of the opponent, Si Heng jumped up on the spot and stabbed again, this time aiming at the man's neck.
Boom! There was another vertiginous collision sound, Si Heng only felt that he suddenly unloaded, his body was shaken and pushed away for several meters, and his twisted facial features and trembling hands all reflected the strength of his opponent's strength. Si Heng looked at his right hand, which was completely numb, and only half of the original huge ring-headed knife was left at the moment, and the other half was stuck in the dirt not far from him.
The man stroked the half-moon scimitar in his hand, looked at Si Heng with contempt, and then raised his right hand holding the half-moon scimitar high and roared angrily, "Kill!" The Donghu soldiers, who had been quietly watching the excitement, raised their weapons again and rushed towards the Xuanjia Army.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, you must take him down! As soon as Si Heng thought about it, he threw out the broken knife at the man, and the man was able to dodge but was ridden by Si Heng on his back, his feet firmly wrapped around the man's ribs, and he pulled out the dagger on his waist and was pinched by someone as soon as he wanted to stab his wrist, and the manpower was extremely powerful, and the pain in his wrist spread all over Si Heng's body in an instant. One person pinched the other's wrist with his backhand, and the other stabbed down with both hands on the hilt, both of them trying their best. However, in Ling Feiyan's opinion, that person seemed relaxed and Si Heng had already done his best.
"Go help him!" Xiang Ang ordered, "It's not a problem for me to protect myself, go quickly!" Ling Feiyan nodded and struggled to break out of the crowd, but the number of Donghu soldiers in front of her was extremely large, and if she wanted to go over to help, she had to deal with these Donghu soldiers first.
Si Heng and the man stalemate for half a stick of incense, already exhausted, the pinched right wrist was already blue and purple, although it was still barely supported, but the entanglement of the feet was significantly weakened, the man seized the opportunity to throw Si Heng to the ground with an over-the-shoulder fall, and the dagger in his hand also flew out. The severe pain in his back did not make Si Heng dizzy, and at the moment he fell to the ground, he still tried to flip his body to avoid the man's scimitar, but he couldn't dodge the deadly scimitar but couldn't dodge the man's kick, Si Heng flew out a few meters again, spurting out a mouthful of blood, trying to struggle to stand up but couldn't do it, seeing that the person was getting closer and closer to him.
"Enough fun, let's take your life!"
The scimitar flew in front of Si Heng and suddenly stopped, and when he looked closely, he found that a whip was wrapped around the handle of the scimitar, and along the whip, Si Heng saw Ling Feiyan pulling the scimitar not far away.
"Give it back to you!"
Ling Feiyan made a move, and the scimitar spun and flew towards the person, and when the scimitar was about to get closer, the man stood still and stretched out his hand to catch it, without even shaking his body. Ling Scarlet Yan didn't give that person more chance at all, he waved the folding whip and frantically threw it down on the man's back, the scimitar immediately spun around the whip and wrapped the whip around the blade, the man struggled, and Ling Feiyan flew to the man's side with the folding whip. Ling Feiyan kicked the man's chest with both feet, wrapped the whip around the man's neck, and then the whole person fell on his back, and the whip immediately strangled the man's neck.
"Do it!" Ling Feiyan shouted. Si Heng immediately understood, picked up the dagger again and rushed towards the man's chest, just as the tip of the knife was about to touch the body, the man brandished the scimitar and shouted, breaking free from the whip and cutting off the dagger, and punching the two of them away at the same time with his left and right hands.
Standing on the mound, Shi Mingyu watched the Donghu army continue to advance towards the south gate, and saw that victory was getting closer and closer to him, and his joy was already overflowing.
"Report!" A Donghu soldier hurriedly ran up, bowed his head and knelt down on one knee.
"Huh? What's so flustered? Shi Mingyu retracted his smile and asked seriously.
"It's a fire in the grain depot!"
"Say it again!"
"The grain depot is on fire!"
Before the words landed, the Donghu soldier reached out and stabbed a flying knife at Shi Mingyu's throat, and before the flying knife was close, Shi Mingyu had already retreated a few meters away with an arrow step.
"Who dares to disguise me as a Donghu warrior?" That Shi Mingyu said vigilantly: "No one in the Donghu warriors dares not to add 'Lord Yaba' when they see me."
Du Mo was also sweating for Shi Mingyu, and when he saw that he had temporarily escaped at this moment, he began to be vigilant. Sure enough, an arrow swooped into the palm of Du Mo's hand, and the arrows rubbed sparks in the palm, and flew in the direction where they came, and Xie Yi jumped off the branch with his head.
"Xuanjia!" Du Mo recognized the armor Xie Yi was wearing at a glance, and Shi Mingyu pouted: "I still underestimated you, and I dared to come to my camp to sneak attack!" ”
Xuan Shaoning stood up and drew out the Jun Wu sword, and said sharply: "We are not here to sneak attack, but to take your head!" ”
As he spoke, a burst of fire shone from the direction of the grain depot.
"I didn't lie to you about the fire in the grain depot!"
