Chapter 33: Unexpected Reinforcements
It rained all the time, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.
In the distance, thousands of horses and thousands of troops are rolling and galloping, as terrifying as the stormy waves, and as irresistible as the mountains and seas.
In contrast, the 1,000 elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Hua Xiong here seemed faint and small, as fragile as a newborn baby, and vulnerable.
"Kill!"
Before the words fell, Hua Xiong had already galloped and rushed forward.
No matter what the enemy's devastating momentum is, Hua Xiong, as the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo, how can he be afraid of the enemy and retreat.
Cavalry battles must be fought with the help of the momentum of the charge in order to burst out with maximum combat effectiveness.
Hua Xiong, who had been in battle for a long time, naturally understood this truth, and how could he let a thousand iron horsemen stop there, in a vain attempt to retreat the enemy with arrows.
Wang Fang Wei Sheng led a thousand iron horsemen and whip horses to gallop wildly, closely following behind Hua Xiong.
A light breeze blows and a drizzle blows. But the war horse was neighing, carrying its owner at a gallop.
Near, everyday. The two forces were constantly approaching and were about to meet head-on.
There are also three miles of land......
There's still a mile......
There are still 300 steps to go......
A hundred steps to go......
There are still eighty steps to go......
"Arrow~"
Hua Xiong, who was constantly calculating the distance between the two armies, saw the enemy enter the range of bows and arrows, and exploded in the ears of a thousand soldiers with a thunderous command voice.
After giving the order, Hua Xiong bent his bow and arrow, glanced at it slightly, and as soon as his right hand loosened the string, the sharp feather arrow flew out with the sound of breaking the sky.
On the opposite side of the enemy formation, Cheng Yin rushed to the front with a knife, and suddenly saw a sharp arrow shooting, and hurriedly dodged sideways. However, he was still a step slower, and the feather arrow pierced through his armor and shot straight into Cheng Yin's right shoulder.
Cheng Yin was in pain, let out a miserable scream, his heart was relieved, he fell off the horse, and the galloping war horse behind trampled it over, trampling it to death.
Followed by Hua Xiong, a thousand iron horsemen bent their bows and released arrows, but not everyone was as proficient in bows and horses as Hua Xiong, and they were sure to hit the arrows. But despite this, many cavalry in Han Sui's pursuers were also shot off their horses and trampled into pulp by their own horses.
Hua Xiong shot Cheng Yin with an arrow, immediately abandoned the strong bow, and rushed towards Li Kan, who was closest to him.
Hua Xiong could see that the morale of the enemy army was high, and if he touched it hard, he would have to explain it to his 1,000 men and horses. The so-called shoots the man first and shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first. What he has to do now is to kill the enemy's main general as much as possible and suppress the enemy's morale.
Li Kanfang really saw that his friend Cheng Yin was shot by Hua Xiong with an arrow. Now Hua Xiong rushed at himself with a knife, and Li Kan did not avoid it, and directly raised his gun to meet him. Even if Hua Xiong doesn't find him. He, Li Kan, will also find him to kill Hua Xiong and avenge his good brother Cheng Yin.
In an instant, Hua Xiong and Li Kan had already gotten together. The two horses intersected, Hua Xiongxu slashed, and Li Kan hurriedly raised his gun to parry. Unexpectedly, Hua Xiong danced the big knife like a finger of his arm, violently reversed the tiger's head knife to change its direction, and circled around his body, the blade flashed with coldness. Without waiting for Li Kan to react, he cut off his body at the waist, which was very clean.
Hua Xiong's tactics were thanks to Dong Zhuo's guidance. Dong Zhuo, who came from later generations and was familiar with the Three Kingdoms, naturally did not want his first fierce general Hua Xiong to step into the fate of being beheaded in the battle formation of the later generations. Therefore, he also gave instructions to Hua Xiong's knife skills, and the most important point is the essence of Guan Erye's knife skills - Ma Rush Knife is fast.
It doesn't matter who you are, go up quickly, hack to death with a knife, clean and neat, and don't drag the mud and water.
After beheading Li Kan, Hua Xiong didn't even look at it, and continued to rush towards Zhang Heng.
"Brothers, that person is Hua Xiong." Zhang Heng pointed at Hua Xiong, who was rushing towards him, and let out a hissing and lung-splitting shout.
"He is the one who has robbed us of our food and grass, and caused us to starve and freeze. He had just killed General Cheng Yin and General Li Kan. Everyone will go up with me, kill him and take back our grain and grass, and avenge General Cheng and General Li. ”
As soon as Zhang Heng's voice fell, Cheng Yin and Li Kan's personal soldiers rushed forward and surrounded Huaxiong, who was rushing to the front.
"Kill Hua Xiong! Take back the grain and grass! Settle an old score!!! ”
"Kill Hua Xiong! Take back the grain and grass! Settle an old score!!! ”
"Kill Hua Xiong! Take back the grain and grass! Settle an old score!!! ”
The crowd was excited, and they roared again and again. It seems that Huaxiong is the big devil who provokes the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and everyone is punished for it.
Han Sui's army was dominated by Qiang and Hu people, although the Hu people were culturally backward from the Han people, but their personalities were straightforward and bold, the folk customs were simple and fierce, and they were even more righteous towards their own people. These people are very easily moved by this iron-blooded scene and emotionally charged words, which is what the Han people call well-developed limbs and simple-mindedness.
More and more Liangzhou rebels were infected by Zhang Heng's words, and a full 5,000 soldiers and horses almost all poured towards Huaxiong.
As if Hua Xiong had some kind of enmity with them, everyone wanted to eat their flesh raw and drink their blood. One by one, they swore to cut Huaxiong with thousands of knives and shatter thousands of corpses.
At this moment, the five thousand iron horsemen were stimulated by Zhang Heng's words, and they have become a mourning soldier, and since ancient times, there is a saying that the mourning soldier will win.
With a swing of his sword, he slashed off the heads of several enemy soldiers who rushed to his side, and Hua Xiong rushed forward to kill. At this moment, he was surrounded by thousands of enemy troops who were surging in, and he could not escape.
Hua Xiong could naturally see that the enemy army had become so crazy because Zhang Heng had pulled everyone's hatred on him. In his mind, as long as Zhang Heng was killed now, the enemy army would lose its backbone and turn into a vulnerable rout.
It's just that no matter whether Hua Xiong's method is useful or not, it will be difficult for him to do it after all.
As the only wise general under Han Sui except Cheng Gongying, how could Zhang Heng not see Hua Xiong's thoughts.
Stopping the horse that wanted to rush up and fight Hua Xiong, Zhang Heng continued to command the ordinary soldiers to surround and kill Hua Xiong.
Looking for Huaxiong to fight, isn't this a joke? What Huaxiong's combat power is, Zhang Heng knows it.
At the beginning, Beigong Boyu was known as the first warrior of the Liangzhou rebels, and he had the courage of ten thousand people, what was the result? He was killed by Hua Xiong in ten rounds.
Yan Xing, the most powerful in Han Sui's army, met Huaxiong and fled after only one round of fighting. It was only a moment before Hua Xiong shot Cheng Yin with one arrow and slashed Li Kan with one sword.
Just by virtue of him playing with the horse, he only has a life-saving score for Huaxiong, maybe it is not enough for Huaxiong to cut it all.
Thousands of iron horsemen under the command of Zhang Heng were like the fingers of the arm, flexible and free, and the surging Han Sui army bit Huaxiong to the death, so that he could not get out of the predicament.
Here, Wang Fang Wei Sheng saw that Hua Xiong was trapped, and he was very anxious, and led the soldiers to rush in the direction where Hua Xiong was. tried to tear out a hole and rescue Hua Xiong, who was under siege.
However, when a thousand soldiers and horses were out of order, how could they compete with the five thousand Han Sui army with a certain command.
Under Zhang Heng's signal, Ma Yu led nearly 4,000 Han Sui troops and firmly blocked Wang Fang and Wei Sheng's periphery.
Never let Hua Xiong leave alive, this is the thought of all Han Suijun at this moment, because he- is too terrible.
The rain was still falling, and the thin rain threads pierced Hua Xiong's bloodstained face like needles.
Hua Xiong regretted it again and again, he was too impulsive before, relying on his horse to be fast, leaving his soldiers far behind. Even without saying a word, he plunged headlong into the surging flow of Han Sui's army, delusionally thinking that he could repel 5,000 Han Sui's cavalry with his own strength, isn't it a joke.
This kind of thing, I'm afraid that only the brave and eternal overlord of Western Chu can do it!
Waving his slightly sour arm, Hua Xiong once again slashed the three Han Suijun soldiers who rushed over like crazy. He's already killed dozens of people, covered in blood.
Let him rush left and right, but he can't tear a hole in the enemy army and break out of the encirclement, let alone kill Zhang Heng, who is hiding behind the army and commanding.
Seeing the soldiers under his command on the periphery constantly falling down in order to rescue him, Hua Xiong's eyes were cracked.
"Kill!"
With a roar of rage, Hua Xiong urged the black wind under his crotch, brandished the tiger's head sword like crazy, and continued to fight with the enemy.
The black wind is rushing, Hua Xiong's broadsword is waving, and the flesh and blood of the enemy are rolling.
…………
By the river, Han Zhao had already gathered his five hundred troops together, and quickly whipped up his horses and rushed towards the battlefield.
On the other side of the river, Liu Feng and Xie Mang, who had already crossed the river, saw from afar that the Lord would be trapped, and he couldn't care about the grain and grass at the moment, so he threw down the grain cart and led some of his subordinates to gallop over.
At this time, there is a scuffle on the battlefield, and the two armies will either have the main general killed, or the main general will be trapped. The two sides fought hard, and each suffered heavy losses.
During the siege, Hua Xiong was already injured in several places at this time, including knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and arrow wounds. Bright red blood burst out of the wound as Hua Xiong continued to exercise violently.
Hua Xiong's left hand slammed into force, and a feather arrow inserted into his right arm was pulled out with flesh and blood, and he threw it to the ground casually. Then he gasped for breath and glared at Zhang Heng, who was still hiding behind the army.
Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.
It was really dangerous just now, if it weren't for Hua Xiong's quick reaction, the cold arrow that Zhang Heng secretly shot just now would have hit the center and killed him. But even though Hua Xiong dodged the fatal place of Fang Cai's arrow, his right arm was still hit by the arrow.
If it continues like this, it won't be long before Hua Xiong will definitely die.
Not only Hua Xiong understands this, but Zhang Heng also understands. Therefore, Zhang Heng himself has been hiding behind the army and commanding, allowing the soldiers to trap Hua Xiong until the last moment to kill him.
Suddenly, Hua Xiong's eyes shrank, and he stared at Zhang Heng's back in disbelief.
It was another cavalry galloping in, and a feeling of despair instantly surged into Hua Xiong's heart.
It is already difficult for me to get out of trouble now, and now that there is another army of soldiers and horses, I am afraid that there is no way to live.
At this moment, Hua Xiong's heart was overshadowed, could it be that the sky was going to kill me? Lord, Hua Xiong can no longer accompany you on the battlefield.
However, if you want to kill me Huaxiong, you also have to pay some price, and Lao Tzu will have to pull a group of backers when he dies.
With his legs between the horse's belly and a big knife, Hua Xiong planned to kill Zhang Heng again. If Zhang Heng can be killed, he will admit death.
But the next moment, Hua Xiong suddenly stabilized.
Because he saw the cavalry galloping behind Zhang Heng with the two big characters "Huangfu" written on it.
