Chapter 275: Downwind and Waves

Xiahou Ba led three hundred knights through the valley and traveled for a long time.

Mu Ba carefully accompanied him to lead the way, and suddenly pointed to the hill in front of him, and introduced: "General Xiahou, look, the army can walk ten miles out of this valley, and after a while, the general will stand on the hill opposite, and you can see the situation of the strong king and the Shuqiang coalition army facing each other across the white water." ”

Xiahou Ba squinted for a while, and finally slowly bowed his head and continued to urge the horse forward.

After a while, I gradually entered a narrow passage between the two mountains. However, I saw that there were lush shrubs within a radius of several miles, and because of the midsummer, they grew and flourished, covering the landscape from far and near to the left and right, and it was difficult to see through; At the same time, the sound of frightened birds flying in the forest was heard not far away.

Xiahou Ba stopped the team and frowned silently.

"General Xiahou, why don't you leave?" Muba looked back and asked.

"The birds in the forest are frightened, and most of them are ambushed here."

Mu Ba said with a smile: "The general is too worried, they have a total of thousands of soldiers and horses, and at this moment they are firmly dragged by the strong king on the bank of the Baishui River, where is the spare strength to divide the troops and ambush?" ”

Xiahou Ba no longer paid attention to him, turned to a group of knights and shouted: "You wait to search strictly along the bushes and grasses within a radius of five miles, but there is an abnormal movement, quickly warn!" ”

"Yes!"

More than a dozen tiger and leopard riders rushed out quickly, consciously scattered around. They raised their spears and knives and stabbed them into the bushes and grass; Those who carried bows and arrows drew their bows and looked at the arrows, and staggered towards the jungle a hundred paces away.

At this time, Jiang Wei, Wei Rong, and Zhao Tong led three thousand Qiang soldiers to quietly ambush in the forest a few hundred steps away, motionless, like sculptures.

The Qiang people were lax, but they were impressed by Jiang Wei's majesty, so they could only endure their temperament and did not dare to move; The war horses in the forest are also in the mouth, just to avoid the enemy from noticing.

Jiang Wei was actually waiting for the main force of the Wei army to pass.

His ambush was located right in the middle of the valley, connecting the past and the future. Once the main force of the Wei army passed through here, his general's 3,000 Qiang cavalry who were in ambush here were the first to attack, and at the same time sent a signal to the friendly forces lying in ambush elsewhere.

At that time, the soldiers of the Ma Dai Tu cavalry battalion ambushed at the mouth of the valley will go down the mountain to block the return of the Wei army, causing chaos in the Wei army; And Ma Chao's general Xiliang Tie Cavalry, who was ambushed in front, drove straight in, giving the Wei army in chaos a head-on blow.

At first glance, the plan is wonderful.

It's a pity that the main force of the Wei army never arrived, and only a wave of pathfinder sentinels came; The sentry cavalry was fine, but the general at the head was unusually cautious, and at the slightest disturbance, he began to sweep along the way, without the slightest relaxation.

The two sides were only separated by a few hundred paces, and according to the search of the Wei army's sentry cavalry, and after half a cup of tea, the two sides would face each other.

All the soldiers turned their eyes to Jiang Wei and waited for his order.

To fight or not to fight? The situation is urgent.

When there was no room for it, Wei Rong leaned to Jiang Wei's side and whispered: "If this continues, our ambush will be discovered sooner or later." Instead of this, it's better to get into trouble early and eat this one first! ”

Jiang Wei thought about it for a while, and he had made up his mind in his heart.

I saw him wave his big hand and burst into a shout: "Release the arrow!" With that, he stood up sharply, drew his bow with his arrow, and shot the first arrow of the battle like a fly.

After the sound of "collapse", the long arrow pierced the neck of the nearest Wei rider with lightning speed.

Before Wei Qi could let out a scream, he was shot to the ground, and he was no longer alive.

After that, countless heads poked out of the dense forest, and they quickly flicked the longbow in their hands, and the arrows flew like locusts towards the Wei cavalry in the trail.

"Enemy... Enemy attack! ”

"There's an ambush!"

"Retreat! Retreat! ”

This wave of attacks came suddenly, and Wei Cai, who approached to investigate, did not notice for a while, and was shot on his back. In particular, the few riders who were close to the ambush were almost shot like sieves on their armor and crotch horses, which were filled with arrows.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush!"

In the Wei army's main formation, Xiahou Ba's face turned red, and while raising his knife to remove the chaotic arrows, he shouted loudly: "The whole army dismounts and raises the shield!" Get closer to Ben! ”

The tiger and leopard rider deserves to be the unparalleled elite in the world, and when he was ambushed, no one fled in a panic. In accordance with the orders of the main general, they jumped off the war horses one after another, curled up their bodies behind the horses, and raised their round shields to protect the necks of the war horses, and slowly retreated to their own formations, showing extremely high wartime qualities.

Jiang Wei, how could they allow them to retreat so easily? He was interested in using long-range attacks to consume as much of the Wei army's combat power as possible, and was about to order another round of fire.

Unexpectedly, the right arm has just been raised halfway, and the word "shooting" has just surged from the dantian to the throat, and there is still half a breath before it is spit out.

Suddenly, a Qiang soldier shouted "Kill", and the knife went straight to the middle of the mountain road; The rest of the Qiang soldiers seemed to be encouraged, and they all stood up and rushed down with a roar. For a while, the mountains and fields were full of Qiang people gushing out.

This scene made Jiang Wei stunned and stood on the spot. Rao knew that the Qiang people were lax in discipline and did not listen to commands, but he never expected them to go their own way to such a point!

Zhao Tong on the side was worried: "The Wei army is so well-equipped, isn't hand-to-hand combat right in the hands of the enemy?" ”

Wei Rong also scolded: "This group of dog-day Qiang people, are they in such a hurry to be reincarnated!" ”

The two of them taunted as they turned back to look at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that after winning several battles in a row, these bastards are trembling!" ”

He knew that now was not the time to delve into it, so he turned over on Xiaobai's back, took a spear, bow and arrow in his hand, turned around and shouted:

"It's come to this, and it's useless to say more. The two of you quickly rushed with me to get rid of this Wei army as soon as possible is the right way. ”

Zhao Tong and Wei Rong did not hesitate, got on the horse, and followed Jiang Wei downhill.

In the battlefield, the fastest wave of Qiang cavalry was already worthy of handover with Wei cavalry.

The two armies soon fell into hand-to-hand combat, the Wei army was well-equipped and well-trained, but the Qiang people were victorious and strong, and there were many people, temporarily except for the fear of tall cavalry, and for a time the battle was insoluble.

After all, the mountain road is not as good as the plain, and the side that is not conducive to the crowd will charge in formation. As a result, the Qiang cavalry in front of the two armies gathered more and more, but only the first few rows of men and horses could really enter the battle.

Even Jiang Wei, Zhao Tong, and Wei Rong had to be blocked behind the front line, staring at them in a hurry.

Jiang Wei is tall, and he can clearly see from sitting on Xiaobai's back that the Wei army's front is like a gate made of steel, and no matter how strong the Qiang ride is better than the impact of the wave, it is as stable as Mount Tai, not moving at all.

The round shields and bright light armor they were equipped with seemed to be the less sharp swords and guns in the hands of the Keqiang soldiers.

Every time the Qiang soldiers launched an attack, Wei Qi was able to skillfully block it with a round shield; The missing knives and two shots, as soon as they touched the iron armor on Wei Qi's body, either cut it on its own, or could only leave a mark on the strong armor that was not shallow or deep.

On the contrary, Wei Cai's swords and guns were extremely sharp, and in the face of the Qiang soldiers who were only wearing leather armor, one person would be seriously injured when he raised and fell.

In just a few dozen breaths of confrontation, at first glance, the Qiang cavalry was outnumbered and had the advantage, but in fact, the Wei army's tiger and leopard cavalry had slowly gained a firm foothold and had gradually assembled into a formation.

The armor was sonorous, the earth was shaken, and the sound of fighting was heard far away; The spear poked out, the machete broke, and groups of Qiang people fell.

However, with a cup of tea, a high pile of corpses had been erected in front of the two armies, stained with blood, but judging by the direction of their clothing, most of them were the corpses of the Qiang people, and there were few dead and wounded in the Wei army.

The corpses of his companions on the ground were lined up, and the group of Wei horses on the opposite side looked like killing gods, with expressionless faces and ruthless slaughter.

The situation in front of them finally made the Qiang people gradually calm down.

At this time, a general with an iron armor covering face in the Wei army suddenly rushed to the front of the battle, but seeing that he had a longbow in his hand, he fired a arrow, and the three arrows were sandwiched between the three fingers, and they picked up the hair one after another, so as not to break it.

There are no cases of long arrows, and each arrow will take a human life, but in just ten breaths, five Qiang soldiers died under his arrows; The two sides were extremely close, and he shot extremely accurately, shooting to the back, but wherever Wei pointed the longbow, it would arouse an uproar among the Qiang soldiers, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge sideways.

The determination of the Qiang soldiers is gradually fading, and a sense of fear arises spontaneously, and if there are no more variables, the rout is at hand.

"The three thousand Qiang cavalry had the opportunity in hand, but they couldn't fight the three hundred Wei cavalry in front of them, but they were beaten to the point of restraint, and the rout was imminent! The power of the tiger and leopard is so far! ”

Jiang Wei was blocked by the Qiang cavalry in the rear of the battle formation and couldn't move, and while he was so anxious to crush the steel teeth, he was also deeply shocked by the combat power of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

At this time, he saw General Wei holding a longbow and showing off his might on horseback, and suddenly had the idea of sniping the enemy general.

"Come and don't be rude!"

Jiang Wei silently held the bow in his hand, aimed at the black shadow on the opposite bank, pulled the bow to the full moon, and suddenly loosened the string and sent the arrow.
