According to the defenders guarding Jinchengdu, it was a hundred-man team under Wei Xu's command, and a hundred-man team under the Zhanfeng battalion. These 200 people, led by Zhou Xingqin, built a camp at Jinchengdu, and were ordered to intercept the captives fleeing south to go to the south bank through Jinchengdu. Zhou Xing set up camp next to the ferry. Outside the barracks, all directions have already set up to resist horses.

For several days, these subordinates were stationed here. Li Yanzhi strictly ordered the defenders defending the ferry not to act rashly, but only to guard the ferry. Zhou Xing knew that this time was a great responsibility, so he did not dare to slack off. He divided the battalion into two teams, the battalion of the front and the battalion of the voice, and then took turns to defend the camp. If the group of soldiers on duty discovers the enemy's situation, they will issue an alarm and order the resting team to join the camp and garrison.

Everything on this day was the same as usual. Zhou Xing faced the empty river beach and the looming Jincheng County on the opposite bank, and did not give birth to a kind of heroic melancholy. Since the last time he was wounded, he felt that he was less and less valued in the camp. Thinking about it, whether it is Liu Du or Cao Du in the camp now, Taoluo's martial arts are all overwhelming him, making him unconvinced.

Although Li Yanzhi came to Lingju, he treated himself quite well. However, compared to the old people such as Liu and Cao, and even the newly promoted Qianghu leader Lei Rong, he felt that he was a head shorter out of thin air. When he led the Jianrui Battalion to Xishan for training a few days ago, Li Yanzhi also said that he would be transferred to exercise other powers. Although he later gave up under Zhou Xing's repeated pleas, Zhou Xing still felt that the treatment he received from Li Yanzhi this time was really different from that of other generals in the camp.

While he was thinking wildly, Zhou Xing suddenly heard one of the soldiers guarding the camp wall knocking the gong in his hand and shouting: "Enemy situation! Enemy! Zhou Xing took three steps and made two steps, climbed the camp wall and looked, only to see in the distance, scattered Hu people dressed as cavalry, playing horses with their might, rushing straight towards the place where he led his troops to defend. Gradually, there were more and more of these horses, and gradually there were groups of three-five or five, and even groups of captives.

When the captives came closer, they found that such a barracks had been erected in front of the ferry. The captives in front slowed down, and when they looked closer, they saw the battalion foot soldiers holding bows and crossbows on the camp wall. Standing behind the Shooting Battalion, the soldiers of the Battle Battalion wearing iron armor and holding long knives also made them feel extremely terrifying in the eyes of these fleeing captives at this time.

The horses that surrounded the barracks became another insurmountable barrier that kept them in check. In the face of this well-designed barracks, these thieves who had been killed suddenly felt a sense of discouragement. If they had ridden over, they would not have been able to pass through the obstacles formed by the rejection, and the crossbowmen on the fort would have unceremoniously shot them like hedgehogs. And if they dismount and run on foot, it is estimated that they will not even be able to touch the rejection of the horse, and they will be shot into hedgehogs.

In this dilemma, these captives confronted the Wu Wei army guarding the camp wall for nearly two quarters of an hour. And after coming here one after another, the more and more huge cavalry team was tracked down by nearly a thousand Liangzhou cavalry.

As the Liangzhou cavalry approached, the captives who had fled to the vicinity of the ferry roared in despair. There was an interception in front and a pursuer in the back, and they really had no way to escape.

There are more and more Liangzhou cavalry gathered in the distance. They stared at the captives with no way out, but there was little pity in their eyes. The various divisions are waiting for their commanders to give the order to charge, and then they can rush forward and tear these beast-faced captives to shreds!

These days, when patrolling and guarding the township, the local cavalry in Liangzhou have seen the tragic situation in the township. The bodies of many of these households were buried by their own hands. There are also many relatives of these horsemen. Therefore, everyone gritted their teeth, hated to eat the meat, slept on the skin, and fed the bones to the dogs, in order to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

The captives, who had no way out, gradually approached and gathered. The war horses under their crotches slowly moved their steps under the control of their masters, and gradually lined up in a circle. These people knew that they had committed such heinous crimes in the township, and these Liangzhou cavalry in front of them, who were far more numerous than them, would never give them good fruits to eat, so although they did not have any hope of survival, they still put on a posture of stubborn resistance to the end.

Li Yanzhi rode to the front of the formation, looked at the two or three hundred cavalry gathered in a circle in the distance, and turned his head to look at the Liangzhou cavalry who were stuck on the left and right, and when he gently tapped the buttocks of the war horse he was riding with a horsewhip, the horse moved forward twenty or thirty steps. Then he looked at these enemy horsemen who were waiting for them with great interest.

"Lei Rong!" Li Yanzhi turned his head and called at his own front. After a short time, Lei Rong drove his horse and stopped in front of Li Yanzhi, and stood by: "Changshi, my subordinates are here." ”

Li Yanzhi pointed to the captives who were arrayed and ready to resist stubbornly, and asked Lei Rong: "Do you know how to speak the Hun language?" ”

Lei Rong nodded: "My ministry used to live in Longxi all the year round, and I also had a lot of contacts with Zhao State. The Huns do speak some. ”

Li Yanzhi raised his horsewhip, pointed at the captives who were waiting in formation, and said, "You will step forward and persuade you to surrender in nonsense." Tell them that those who descend will not be killed. If you don't fall, you won't be left behind! ”

Lei Rong looked at the hastily arranged circle of the captive cavalry, frowned, and then whispered to Li Yanzhi: "Li Changshi, according to what his subordinates have seen, there are not only Hun cavalry pawns in this formation, but also some of them, which are Qiang cavalry pawns......

"Oh?" When Li Yanzhi heard this, his eyes lit up, and a plan was quietly brewing in his mind.

"Long history, please see, most of the people on the periphery of this circle are people from Di and Qiang. And those who lead bows and arrows in the formation are basically Huns. ”

Li Yanzhi looked into the distance and saw that there were subtle differences between the captives in the inner and outer circles. The cavalry in the outer ring looks quite Han Chinese. And the leather armor and weapons equipped with are by no means used by the Hun cavalry, and they look quite tattered. The bows in the inner circle are all tall, broad-eyed, well-equipped Hun cavalry.

"Since this is the case, I will ask Lei Bairen to go and surrender in the language of Diqiang. It would be better if these Qiang warriors could kill the Hun cavalry. ”

Lei Rong bowed slightly on the horse's back and said, "Your subordinates should try their best." After that, Lei Rong drove his horse and shouted a few words in Hu in front of the battle. As soon as the words fell, there was already a commotion in the besieged Hu cavalry array.

Li Yanzhi saw that although the Qiang cavalry around the circle was talking to each other for a while, they had no intention of surrendering or fleeing, so he shouted to Lei Rong: "Tell them to capture and kill the Hun cavalry, reward one stone of grain and rice, and one horse of cloth, and release them immediately." Ben will do what he says! ”

Lei Rong turned his head and roared loudly. Hu Qi's array, which was still in a commotion just now, became extremely silent. The Diqiang cavalry in the outer circle looked hesitantly at the Xiongnu cavalry in the center, as if they were considering whether it should be as Lei Rong said, capture and kill them and sacrifice them to the Liangzhou soldiers on the opposite side, in exchange for the wealth and freedom promised by the other party.

Seeing that these enemy horsemen were hesitant, Li Yanzhi immediately waved his right arm. The left and right generals blew the bamboo whistles, and the cavalry of the Wuwei army gathered here urged their horses to come to the front of the formation, and then lined up in a semicircular array, faintly encircling, and pressed towards the enemy's cavalry array. Immediately, the knights drew their bows and arrows, and hundreds of arrows were pointed at the enemy cavalry array, which made people feel extremely frightened when they saw it.

Li Yanzhi raised his hand high and said to Lei Rong: "Tell them that if they don't surrender again, we will wait for the bow and crossbow to be fired." The arrows have no eyes, and I hope they will make a decision sooner! ”

Lei Rong drove his horse forward a few steps further, stopped outside the range of the opponent's bow and arrows, and shouted in Hu language towards the enemy array: "Changshi has a fate, if you are obsessed and insist on not surrendering, we will send bows and crossbows together." The arrow has no eyes, and I hope to make a decision sooner! ”

The Hun cavalry in the captive cavalry array saw that Lei Rong had advanced to the periphery of the bow and arrow range, and when they landed, several people drew their bowstrings, raised their bows slightly, and shot towards Lei Rong. Several arrows flew straight towards Lei Rong with the sound of the wind. Seeing this, Lei Rong hurriedly dodged, and these arrows that exceeded the direct shooting distance may have fallen on Lei Rong's left and right sides one after another due to the shooter's poor correction.

Seeing this, the Diqiang cavalry on the periphery of the captive cavalry line turned their heads and glared at the Hun cavalry in the inner circle. A general Zuo asked the Hun rider who released the arrow in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Now that the enemy is outnumbered, just stabilize the enemy army, and retreat, are you so reckless, are you not afraid of incurring the enemy's retaliation?" ”

When the Hun cavalry in the formation heard this, they immediately sneered and replied: "The ferry behind you has been tightly guarded by enemy troops, and there are enemy cavalry in front of you to chase and intercept you. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two sides immediately became tense. The Hun cavalry in the inner circle abandoned their bows and arrows one after another, and instead drew their swords and looked around at the surrounding Qiang cavalry. And the Qiang general Zuo who asked was also stunned, and turned to the halberd to reply to the Hun cavalry: "What did you just say?" Say it again! ”

The horseman sat on the back of the horse and sneered: "I say, you bastards, don't you want to surrender to the enemy? ”

After that, he stretched out his left hand and flicked the blade of the war knife held in his right hand: "If you want to surrender to the enemy, first ask me about the knife in my hand, whether you agree or not!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the muffled sound of a spear piercing into the human body was immediately heard, and the Hun cavalry felt a sharp pain, and a spear head had been pierced through his chest. He tried to look back in disbelief, but he couldn't turn away. Just listening to the ping-pong behind him, it was already the Hun cavalry and the Qiang cavalry in the outer circle who started to move.

In reply, the man fell from his horse silently, and then the front hooves of the warhorse of a Qiang horseman beside him stepped on his chest without mercy. A Qiang general Zuo shouted in his own dialect to Zuo Jinpaoze: "Brothers, now that the ferry has been occupied by the enemy, there is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and we have absolutely no way to escape." Since the enemy general has promised us to kill the thief and make meritorious contributions, we might as well give it a try, maybe everyone can still get a glimmer of life! ”

When the Qiang soldiers gathered on the left and right heard this, they all cheered up, and each waved his blade: "Kill!" These Hun dog thieves plundered my assets and deceived our villagers on weekdays, and now they want us to work hard. He even accused me of surrendering to the enemy! Is it tolerable or unbearable, kill it! ”

It was just a noisy front, but at this time it was a big mess! The Hun cavalry and the Qiang cavalry in the outer circle attacked and killed each other, making a mess. While fighting hard with the surrounding Hun cavalry, the Qiang generals told the soldiers on the left and right that after killing the Hun cavalry, they must take their heads, so that they can be handed over to the enemy generals as evidence.

After the Xiongnu Liu Zhao defeated Chen An and occupied Longxi, he adopted an uninterrupted high-pressure policy against the people living in Longxi, and finally made it reap the consequences at this time. The long-suppressed discontent of the Qiang people was finally released at this moment. With swords and spears in their hands, they beckoned to the Hun cavalry who were surrounded by them. The Hun cavalry, who were staggered on the left and right, never expected that the Qiang people, who seemed to be obedient like sheep in the past, would also show their fangs and become evil wolves.

The first attack began when the Hun cavalry was unprepared. Therefore, after less than half an hour, the Hun cavalry in the inner circle had already fallen. Many people died without turning a blind eye, perhaps they did not understand until they died, why these Qiang people were only oppressed by them in the past, why they turned against the guest at this time and became the demon who ended them.

A Qiang general Zuo and the bearded Hun general Zuo have been fighting for more than 30 times, but they still haven't been able to distinguish the winner. The two subordinates were also attacking each other, and even if there were a few people who wanted to come forward to help, they were all intercepted by the other party's subordinates. So the two of them swords, swords, and horses, while moving, fighting. In an instant, the swords struck each other, and they fought for more than 20 times.

Li Yanzhi was in front of the battle, watching with great interest the dog-eat-dog drama in the remnants of the enemy army. The mount under his crotch seemed to smell the smell of blood coming from the battlefield in the distance, and paced back and forth with some uneasiness, snorting from time to time. Li Yanzhi quietly watched the fierce battle between the two enemy generals on the periphery of the remnant formation, and saw that the two had fought for dozens of battles and were still deadlocked, so he sneered a few times, then took the bow and arrow from his waist, put the arrow on the bowstring, and then urged the horse forward, gradually approaching the range of the bow at the corner end of his hand.

When passing by Lei Rong's side, Lei Rong urged him to step forward, pulled Li Yanzhi's sleeve, and signaled that the battle array ahead was dangerous and should not be easily stepped forward. But Li Yanzhi just stretched out his hand and pointed at the two enemy generals who were fighting inextricably, and said: "Lei Bairen will not worry, I just see that these two people do not distinguish between victory and defeat, and it is expected that the rest of them will also be difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, so I might as well help them." ”

Lei Rong pointed to the two generals who were still fighting, and said, "The person wearing leather armor and wearing an iron helmet is the Hun general." And the other person is the general of Diqiang. Li Yanzhi looked in the direction of Lei Rong's finger, and sure enough, he could easily distinguish the difference between the two.

Li Yanzhi galloped forward more than 20 steps on his horse, and the enemy cavalry formation in the chaotic battle was only about 40 steps. With a sharp force in his right hand, he pulled out the horn bow in his hand, and the arrow pointed directly at the Hun general wearing an iron helmet.

After a moment, Li Yanzhi's right hand suddenly let go, and the arrows on the bowstring flew straight like meteors, and suddenly flew towards the Hun general. A moment later, the Hun general was hit by an arrow in his right shoulder, and the war knife in his hand was immediately taken off!

Fighting against him, the Diqiang general naturally would not let go of such a God-given opportunity. He swung his right hand violently, and the blade slashed straight into the neck of the Hun general, and a puddle of blood splashed all over his face in the blink of an eye. However, he still stepped forward expressionlessly, and the knife in his hand continued to wave, and in a blink of an eye, he cut off the head of the Hun general!

"Your subordinate general Zuo has been given the head, why don't you surrender quickly?" As he shouted, the few remaining Hun cavalry in the formation froze in place. With a wave of Li Yanzhi's hand, the cavalry of the Wuwei army stepped forward one after another, and it was only then that the end of this chaos was announced!
