The cavalry rushed, galloping, deafening.

When the Hu cavalry was only two hundred steps away from Xu Huang, a terrible scene appeared.

This wilderness is completely weird.

War horses stepped on the withered grass and let out mournful screams. Immediately afterwards, the front hooves of the Hu cavalry war horse were raised high.

Even some of the war horses fell to the ground violently, and the Hu soldiers on the war horses also jumped up and down after they fell to the ground.

None of the horses of the Hu cavalry could sprint thirty paces in this area.

Forward, you will fall!

The speed of the Hu army's sprint, so slack.

Rushing forward and back, the horse's head collided with the horse's buttocks, and the momentary convulsion caused many of the Hu people to fall off their horses.

Yang Ju rushed forward, and when he saw the calm of his subordinates, he didn't have time to react, and the war horse roared, the horse's hooves were raised high, and then he rolled over and fell to the ground.

Yang Ju is extraordinary, supporting the ground with his hands to prevent himself from being injured.

"Ah......, it hurts me!"

A scream came, and the owner of the scream was Yang Ju.

Yang Ju raised his hand with difficulty, only to see a small iron ball with a strange shape in his hand.

There were four one-inch-long spikes on this small iron ball, one of which had all been submerged into Yang Ju's palm.

Yang Ju reluctantly pulled out the small iron ball, and then looked under him again, and found that there were small iron balls everywhere around.

The sharp thorns stood up, and these short and small iron balls were undoubtedly fatal to the cavalry.

The hooves of war horses are relatively fragile, and once they are tied to this kind of small iron horse, no one will pull them out, and they will fall to the ground after running two steps.

These little iron riders are hidden under the dry grass, because their physical strength is too small, and if they don't pay attention, they really can't find it.

"The enemy army is cheating, withdraw, withdraw quickly!"

Yang Ju shouted angrily, snatched a good horse, and drove the war horses to retreat one after another.

The Hu soldiers came violently, but in the face of this situation, they panicked instantly, and injured thousands of people and horses for a while, and they didn't want to fight again at all.

The unknown is the most terrifying, there are still 200 steps away from the Han army, there are so many dead and wounded, in front of the "sword mountain and sea of fire", who would dare to break through?

"Haha...... this horse nail is really magical."

Seeing that the Hu cavalry retreated, Xu Huang did not chase after him, and said with a smile.

It was nearly two hundred paces here, and it was all covered with Zama nails, and the enemy troops could not pass, and it was difficult for them to pass.

Zama nail is a kind of hidden weapon, like a thorn. The Zama nail has four sharp gourds, the tips of which are triangular cones and conical, and each angle between the gourds is 130 degrees. Such a shape and structure so that no matter how the zama nail is thrown on the ground, there is an iron spike upward, and the horse will fall to the ground in pain when stepping on it, unable to charge. In particular, it plays a very large role in retreat and temporary arming. is a killer weapon against cavalry,

Each nail was the size of a copper coin, and the soldiers' bags containing the nails were quickly able to deploy "mines" over a large area.

This Zama nail was thought of by Liu Fan on Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong.

In history, when Wei and Shu Han faced off. Zhuge Liang occupied Hanzhong for a long time, so that the Wei State, which had a large number of cavalry, could not attack for a long time, because of the horse nails.

The Zama nail is a weapon invented by Zhuge Liang based on thistle terrestris to deal with cavalry. Shu Han was able to defend Hanzhong, and Zama nails were indispensable.

Zama nails are things that can be figured out at a glance. And this kind of secret weapon is very easy to make, for blacksmiths, it is easy to understand.

Liu Fan knew that there were too few cavalry he led this time, and in order to prevent the enemy cavalry, he ordered the blacksmith to cast a large number of horse nails.

"The Hu cavalry was frightened by our secret weapon, and I arranged horse nails on various sections of the road to contain the enemy cavalry. Li Dao, Guo Yan, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others will definitely lose patience and send infantry to attack. Can we kill two birds with one stone now? ”

After getting the battle situation, Liu Fan asked Xun You.

"The prime minister waits patiently, our army is not in a hurry, someone is in a hurry. Wait for them to make a move! ”

Xun You's general Liu Fan replied.

"Hmm!"

Liu Fan nodded.

……

Si Li, Hangu Pass.

When Liu Fan's urgent call came to Luoyang, it moved on all sides.

Jia Xu and Xun Yu maintained the instability of the imperial court on the one hand, and on the other hand, they dispatched troops to support Liu Fan.

On this day, dozens of people came in front of Hangu Pass.

At this time, 20,000 elite cavalry were stationed at Hangu Pass.

And the 20,000 cavalry had just received an order and were ready to set off to support Liu Fan.

These 20,000 elite horsemen are Guan Yu's subordinates, and they are controlled by Jia Xu in the division.

Jia Xu did not hesitate to appoint Zhonglang General Su Che as the main general, so that he could command the soldiers and horses and gallop to Liangzhou.

"The barracks are important, you are not allowed to enter, leave quickly!"

I saw a group of people dressed as rangers actually want to enter the barracks. The soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly crossed their spears to stop them.

"We are going to the Xiliang front line and make contributions with the prime minister, please let us pass!"

A young man with a beautiful beard bowed his hand to the guard soldier and said politely.

This young man is Tai Shici who came from afar.

After Tai Shi Ci pushed his mother in a car, and when he came to Luoyang, the government immediately received Tai Shi Ci's mother and son, and distributed grain and cultivated land.

Just for this, Tai Shici felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Under the rule of the prime minister, there is a world of difference from the rest of the states and counties of the Han Dynasty.

After settling his mother, Tai Shici immediately had a strong desire to make contributions.

He met with his ranger friends who had already come to Luoyang, and after discussion, he decided not to wait for opportunities in Luoyang, but to look for opportunities in Xiliang.

"There is an order from above, from now on, no one will be allowed to enter or leave Hangu Pass, please go back!"

The guard soldier replied with a blank face.

Because Su Che was about to lead the soldiers to leave. Hangu Pass is a strategic place, so in order to prevent accidents, no one is allowed to pass through.

Hearing this, Tai Shici and the others were discouraged and a little unwilling!

At this moment, Su Che, who was dressed in bright light armor, rushed from outside the pass to Hangu Pass.

Several generals immediately walked out of Hangu Pass and said to Su Che: "General, 20,000 elite horsemen have been assembled and can set off at any time."

"Just after dawn, I rushed back from Xin'an. Now General Zhenxi is preparing to attack Longguan, let's set off at a fast pace! ”

Su Che explained and was about to enter the customs.

"The strong man surrendered to the army, please be contained by the general."

Tai Shi Ci saw that Su Che seemed to be a general, and hurriedly shouted. Now he will not let go of any opportunity to make a contribution.

"What do you have to dare to be a strong man?"

Su Che immediately stepped forward and asked Tai Shici.

Su Che and Zhou Cang are Guan Yu's right-hand men, and they have followed Guan Yu for many years, but they have not been contaminated with Guan Yu's arrogance, but are very easy-going.

"We are all from Qingzhou, and we all have our own strengths. I heard that the prime minister recruited traitors, and we traveled thousands of miles to help us, aren't we considered strong men? ”

Tai Shi Ci asked rhetorically.

"And what skills do you have?"

Su Che was surprised, and wanted to see what Tai Shici said, "each has its own strengths".

"I have archery skills, one hundred and fifty steps, and the example is not in vain!"

Tai Shi Ci replied.
