With Adou's order, the soldiers in the back row immediately took out five hundred crossbows and set them up. []

These five hundred Zhuge repeaters were modified by Zhuge Liang again, and their range was farther than the previous repeaters. The model is also one size larger. The original Zhuge Repeater could be carried by one person, but now this Zhuge Repeater requires two people to carry it.

"Shoot me!"

The soldiers received the order, and five hundred Zhuge crossbows were fired at the same time, and five hundred sharp arrows rose into the air and rushed straight to Cheriji's Chinese army.

"Watch out for the arrows!"

The Qiang people also realized that the arrows were coming, but the Chinese army had been stirred up by Oh Ho, who kept rushing around, while a dozen people behind shouted: "Front, stop Oh He." ”

Most of the Qiang people don't know what happened, Oh He is also a member of the strongman, everyone saw Oh He pounced, the first reaction was to immediately get out of the way, and Oh He in order to protect himself, regardless of 3721, cut people when he saw them, and there was a big chaos around the trouble.

Just at this time, the arrow fell.

"It's not good, protect the king!" Cherry Body. The guards on the side immediately rushed to Cherrigi's side and used their bodies to help Cherrigi block the arrows.

"Capture Cherrigi ......"

"Capture Cherrigi ......"

Whistling shouts came from all directions.

When the Qiang soldiers heard this voice, they couldn't help themselves. The Lord looked to the Chinese army of Cherrigi. Cherrigi's banner was still standing high, but the lives below were being harvested by a continuous stream of arrows, and the soldiers guarding Cherrigi were falling one by one, and the chaos caused by Oh Ho continued.

The Qiang people panicked.

They could feel that Cherrigi's Chinese army was in disarray.

"Not good!" Cherrigi screamed secretly and immediately dialed. opened the guards who were blocking the front, and at the same time shouted: "This king is here, don't panic!" ”

Cherrigi stood up and gave the Qiang people a big reassurance. When the soldiers saw that Cherrigi was fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the original panic was gone.

At this time, Wei Yan had already rushed into the formation of the Qiang people.

Wei Yan looked up, only to see a . Famous general, what to shout Wei Yan didn't stop making it clear, but the general's golden armor attracted Wei Yan's attention.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan drew his bow and arrow, and chased Cherrigi is an arrow.

The Battle of Hanzhong that year. At that time, Wei Yan once shot Cao Cao's front teeth in the chaos army, which shows that Wei Yan's archery is quite clever, but maybe because the distance between the two sides is too far, maybe because Wei Yan is not lucky enough this time, this arrow did not hit Cherrigi, but shot Cherrigi's horse, right in the horse stock.

As the king of Qiang, Cheriji is naturally a one-of-a-kind divine horse in a warhorse. But no matter how miraculous the horse is, this horse is still a beast after all. Wei Yan's arrow shot so hard and deep that the horses were in pain, and they immediately ran wildly.

"Ahh Cherrigi screamed and grabbed the reins violently to stabilize his body, and by this time, the horse was frightened and no longer listened to Cherrigi's command.

"King, stop the King!" The guards rushed forward. However, at this time, the advantage of Cherrigi's horse was swung, and coupled with the excessive fright, Cherrigi's horse galloped forward like a lightning speed. The guards behind couldn't catch up at all.

"King, stop, don't run!" I don't know which guard behind shouted. However, this shout reached the ears of the surrounding Qiang people.

"Hey, did you just hear that, someone over there said that the king had run away."

"The king has run away, how is it possible?"

"I heard it with my own ears, so loudly, didn't you hear it?"

On the other side, Cherrigi grabbed the reins fiercely, and at the same time began to slowly calm the war horse, hoping that the war horse could calm down as soon as possible.

At this time, the Han army in front had also entered a hand-to-hand battle with the Qiang people. As for the Di people in the back, because of the success of the sneak attack, they have already gained the upper hand, and the situation has begun to fall to the side that is unfavorable to the Qiang people. If the fight continues like this, the rout of the Qiang people is only a matter of time.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the overall situation has been decided." Yang Yi came over and said happily.

"En......" Adou looked back, and then said: "Yang Aiqing, you are a civil official, let's go back first, the sword has no eyes on this battlefield." ”

"Your Majesty has come, why can't the ministers come! Besides, although the minister is a scribe, he is also familiar with fencing! Yang Yi replied confidently.

Adou smiled, not speaking. In Adou's view, the scribes of the Three Kingdoms era were better than the literati of later generations, that is, the scribes of the Three Kingdoms era were more or less able to have some simple swordsmanship, unlike later generations who said that the literati were powerless. Let's not talk about the practicality of this swordsmanship, at least in terms of physical fitness, it is still helpful.

……

A great battle lasted from dawn until evening. On the battlefield, the physical strength of the soldiers has been exhausted, and the confrontation between the soldiers is not as fierce as at noon.

Everyone was exhausted, but the more this time, the more casualties were the highest. Everyone is tired for a day, and their physical strength and reflexes are not as good as when they first started fighting in the morning, and many people's bodies have begun to disobey the call, and some moves that could be avoided are now no longer available.

The soldiers really want to rest, but everyone knows that they can't rest now, on the battlefield, when the two armies are fighting, rest is waiting for death, only non-stop movement, killing without listening, constantly eliminating the threat to themselves around them, and at the same time a means of self-preservation.

In this kind of battle, where everyone gritted their teeth and persisted, the advantage in numbers was finally manifested. The so-called heroes can't stand the crowd, a person with very strong martial arts may be able to deal with a dozen or even dozens of people when he has sufficient physical strength, but if he is not strong enough, it is difficult to deal with three or five people. Countless heroes in all dynasties and dynasties died of so-called exhaustion, and no matter how powerful the characters are, they can't withstand the consumption of wheel warfare.

Finally, the Qiang began to rout.

"Hold on, don't run! Resist it all for me! Cherrigi shouted, slashing several fleeing soldiers, but still unable to stop the Qiang retreat.

There is a saying that defeat is like a mountain falling, and a mountain falling, which can not be stopped by manpower. Soon, Cherrigi was drowned in the rout.

In the art of war, the advance and retreat are orderly, and when retreating, if you are pursued, the loss will be very large. If the generals have a good command when retreating, there will be no confusion at all. Those who pursued like that would not dare to kill them all. And in the retreat, the most taboo is this kind of rout.

The Qiang people retreated, retreated in no order, Adou naturally would not let go of this good opportunity to beat the water dogs, and the surrounding Han troops also knew that now was a good opportunity to accumulate credit. On a frontal battlefield, it is very difficult to kill an enemy, but it is much easier to pursue a rout and kill an enemy. didn't cut one more person, and one more head could be hung around his waist, which was a great credit.

Even though the Han army was already very tired, in the face of this low-hanging fruit, the Han army still dragged its tired body and rushed forward.

"Kill!"

"Kill the Qiang!"

A strong man of the Han army who rushed to the front stabbed a Qiang man who was fleeing in front of him with a shot, and then stepped on the Qiang man's neck.

"Click!" The sound of bones breaking came, and the Qiang people died immediately, and the strong man of the Han army breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "Kill another one, this time Lao Tzu will go back, what can he be!" ”

The smell of blood and the screams of the Qiang soldiers before they died irritated the surrounding Han troops. In a head-to-head confrontation, it is so difficult to kill a Qiang, and it is often necessary to fight for your life, but now, it is suddenly easier to kill a Qiang, as long as you run fast enough, you can get the credit.

At this moment, these Han soldiers seemed to forget their fatigue, and everyone rushed forward desperately, and everyone had an idea, that is, to kill one more and earn more credit.

At the same time, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and the morale of the Qiang people fell to the bottom, and Cherrigi had already been poured into the chaotic army, nowhere to be found, no one to command, and more people chose to run forward desperately, hoping to escape from this battlefield as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have been fighting for a day, and besides, today's victory has been decided, and these Qiang people are already in a big trouble. Shall we let the soldiers come back first to rest and rest? ”

"No, now is a good opportunity to grab credit, and I guess these soldiers of mine are not willing to stop. Pass the order down, continue the pursuit, and capture a Qiang alive, and I will count the credit for his two heads! After Adou finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Yang Yi, and then said: "Yang Aiqing, I often hear the prime minister praise you, saying that you are very quick in raising grain and grain. I'm giving you a mission today. ”

"The minister is here!" Yang Yi hurriedly stood up.

"Give you a thousand fire-headed soldiers, bring food and grass, and follow them, and if you meet hungry soldiers on the road, get them something to eat, I don't want these soldiers of mine to starve to death without food."

"I obey the order, but I don't know how far I can't chase the ministers?"

"How far to chase?" Adou thought for a while: "Why do you have to catch up with one or two hundred miles!" ”

"Obey."

"By the way, who of you just saw Wei Yan?" Adou then asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, General Wei Yan rushed to the front just now, and he should go straight after Cheriji."

"Well, that guy Wei Yan is greedy again! If what I expected was true, Wei Yan saw that I didn't withdraw my troops, so I must have gone to Gu Zang's side. Adou said, turned his head to look at Yang Yi, and then said: "Yang Aiqing, I will give you another task, you go to the front to inquire, if Wei Yan really goes to attack Guzang, I will provide him with more grain and grass." As for Gu Zang, of course it is best if he Wei Yan can capture it, if he can't capture it, don't starve them. ”

"Obey."

……

Wei Yan led Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong to chase them all the way to the northwest.

As the distance became farther and farther away, the pursuers of the Han army became more and more sparse, approaching everyone to fight for a day, and after chasing for so long, they were already tired.

A bright moon slowly rose, and in the darkness, Wei Yan had gradually lost the figure of the Qiang people, and now he could only continue to pursue with the traces left by the Qiang people.

"General, the brothers are tired, let's rest and rest!" Zhang Yi said.

Wei Yan looked back and nodded: "Order, rest first." Zhang Yi, you take someone to pick up some firewood around and boil some hot water. Ma Zhong, you go and look around, can you get something to eat. ”

"The last general obeys!" Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong retreated at the same time.

Wei Yan got off the horse, put the big knife aside, moved his legs and feet, and the attendant next to him immediately came over and handed over the water bag, Wei Yan dipped it in water, wiped his face, and wiped off the dust and blood stains on his face.

The surrounding soldiers did not have such good physical strength as Wei Yan, as soon as they rested, they sat on the ground one after another, and some simply lay down and gasped for breath. At the same time, they are communicating with each other about today's results.

Zhang Yi lit a few bonfires, illuminating the surroundings, but also brought a trace of warmth to everyone, gradually, the Han army around Wei Yan gathered more and more, in addition to Wei Yan's headquarters, many Han soldiers who were chasing the Qiang people saw the fire, and rushed over.

Zhang Yi walked up to Wei Yan with a large bowl of steaming hot water, and said, "General, drink saliva." ”

Wei Yan took the bowl and slowly took a small sip, and after the hot water went down, Wei Yan felt that his physical strength had suddenly recovered a lot.

"General, I found something good!" Ma Zhongle ran over.

"What did you find? So happy! ”

"General, I found a few wounded horses around, and I asked me to kill those who couldn't survive." Ma Zhong spoke.

"Well, yes, stew the horse meat, make it worse, let's drink some broth."

"General, that's not all, I also have a lot of dried meat and dry food on those horses, if we save a little food, enough for us to eat for two or three days."

"Good!" Wei Yan stood up excitedly, and with food, a bold idea suddenly rose in Wei Yan's heart.

"Ma Zhong, you immediately send someone to cook, Zhang Yi, you go and help Ma Zhong clean up, as long as it is food and can be taken away, prepare it all for me, let's go to Gu Zang early tomorrow morning!"

"General, what are you talking about, we are going to Guzang?" Zhang Yi asked incredulously.

"Yes, go to Guzang. If the Qiang people are defeated and have become frightened birds, we will take advantage of the chaos to recapture Guzang. If it takes a long time, it will not be good for Cheriji to stabilize his position in Guzang City. ”

Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong glanced at each other and smiled helplessly, at this time, both of them knew that the general was afraid that he would start to be greedy again.

……

In the chaos, I don't know how many Qiang people panicked and lost their way.

However, as the king of Qiang, Cherrigi is naturally surrounded by many guards. And the fleeing Qiang people instinctively followed Cherrigi after seeing Cherrigi. By daybreak, there were already a lot of people gathered around Cherrigi.

The Qiang ran all night, and this night, the Han army did not pursue, so when it was dawn, there was no shadow of the pursuers behind Cheriji.

When they panicked, there was only one thought in their minds, and that was to run away. But at this time, these Qiang people who were temporarily safe felt how torturous the feeling of hunger and thirst was without food or drink for a day and a night.

The problem of water is easy to solve, and there are still many oases in Liangzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, but the problem of food has become a big problem.

The Qiang people's grain and grass are all in the camp, the camp has fallen, the grain and grass are gone, even if they bring out some food, they have already fallen on the way to escape.

Cherrigi reluctantly made a move - kill the horse!

Horses are the second life of knights, although the Qiang people have a lot of horses, but those who can become war horses are good horses, and it is a pity to kill them. But now, in order to survive, Cherrigi has no choice but to kill the horse.

In this way, when Cherrigi returned to Guzang City with a lot of effort, he was already embarrassed. Later, when Cheriji inquired, there were only a few hundred Qiang people who came back earlier than him, and it seemed that the others had not returned.

However, it didn't take long for Cherrigi to get the news that made him extremely depressed, that is, the spies sent out by the city had appeared around Guzang City, and the Han people had already seen their horses, which showed that the Han army was not far away.

……

Wei Yan looked at the soldiers around him, although the rush made everyone look a little embarrassed, but everyone's mental state was still very full. After chasing down this way, everyone has at least four or five lives on their hands, and this battle merit can at least be promoted. Some soldiers who killed a dozen or even dozens of people could even be directly promoted to colonels.

However, Wei Yan was not satisfied, what Wei Yan hoped for was to recapture Guzang.

Guzang is a big city in Liangzhou, although it is located on the plain, but it is still easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not to mention that there were not many people chasing after Wei Yan, just talking about siege weapons such as ladders and crashes, Wei Yan didn't bring them.

Wei Yan led a few people to the vicinity of Guzang City to check the terrain.

Looking at the tall city wall of Guzang in front of him, Wei Yan was stunned for a while, he didn't have any siege weapons, how could he take Guzang!

"Forget it, it looks like you have to bluff! Take a gamble! Wei Yan smiled a little helplessly, and then said, "Zhang Yi, you go find some branches with leaves." Ma Zhong, when you set up camp for a while, give me how big the camp is, how big is An, and when you rebel, you will use a pot for each person! ”

"General, we don't have so many pots!"

"Well, too...... I don't have a pot, so I've got to light the stove for me! ”

Speaking of which, Wei Yan is a person with a lot of gambling. For example, when Wei Yan proposed to take the Meridian Valley to raid Chang'an, it was more of a gambling nature. However, until now, Wei Yan can be regarded as a relatively successful gambler, although it cannot be said that he will win every gamble, but he also wins more and loses less.

……

Looking at the branches tied to the tail of the horse in front of him, Wei Yan smiled with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Sons, run hard around here for a while, and no one is allowed to come back until it gets dark!" ”

After that, the huge military camp in the distance of Wei Yan. This barracks is huge, but there are not many people, and two or three people live in a tent, which is more than enough.

Wei Yan licked his lips slightly, and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the camp and light the fire." ”
