Chapter 328 Guo Da Horse
Yan Xing originally thought that his 6,000 cavalry would win against Ma Chao's 5,000 cavalry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even if he can't defeat Ma Chao at the moment, but with the advantage of numbers, he can be repulsed, and then if the defenders everywhere come to surround and intercept, Ma Chao's cavalry will have no way out.
Who knew that Chang'an had really sent troops, and the White Horse Yicong was known as the world's sharpest, although this White Horse Yicong had only been established for two years. However, its commander Zhao Yun once fought against Lu Bu for hundreds of rounds, and Baima Yicong also fought against the wolf riders of the state without winning or losing.
Although there were only 3,000 people, Bai Ma's righteous coming to help suddenly gave Yan Xing a headache.
Suddenly, Yan Xing remembered Niu Fu's words before leaving, if Chang'an really sent troops to Liangzhou, he would drag their soldiers and horses as much as possible, and even did not hesitate to give away a part of the land.
Although Yan Xing didn't know why Niu Fu wanted him to do this, he also realized that when Chang'an was exhausted, there would be a conspiracy against Chang'an.
Yan Xingjiu has been in Xiliang for a long time, following Han Sui for many years, and after repeating, the concept of the country and the nation has been abandoned. Only after the Ma family is Ma Yuan, they dare not betray the Lord and forget the classics, and they still maintain the concept of loyalty and patriotism. Yan Xing's nature is not bad, in his opinion, Guo Kan is a strong man, he has not committed any crimes in the Western Regions, and he has taken refuge in him, even if a foreign race is in charge of Xiliang, there is nothing wrong with it.
Yan Xing's eyes rolled, thinking about how to deal with these two cavalry. Since Niu Fu ordered to keep these two cavalry in Xiliang as much as possible, they were now outnumbered, and it was impossible to destroy them.
"There are so many of them that I can't beat them, but it's not a problem to break through. And Ma Chao is bound to save Ma Teng, for today's plan, I can only break through and return to Guzang, and their cavalry will definitely go to Guzang! Yan Xing thought immediately.
Bai Ma Yi slowly rushed from all sides, and the arrows continued to shoot in! On the battlefield divided into three layers, the white horse on the periphery kept firing arrows, and the arrows shot out in the sky, like a huge circular sieve.
Arrows converged from the sky and headed towards the Yan Xing cavalry on the second layer. The innermost horse super cavalry, one by one, held wooden shields to prevent accidental injuries from bows and arrows. However, they obviously underestimated the strength of their allies, and the arrows attacked, and the final landing point was accurately controlled within the range of Yan Xing's cavalry.
Bai Ma Yicong's attainments in bows and arrows have made this Xiliang famous for a long time, and the cavalry who has always been above the top feels pressure and admiration. Fortunately, these two cavalry armies are subordinate to His Majesty Liu Wei, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and they are friendly troops!
Bai Ma Yi attacked from a round of bows and arrows, and Yan Xing gave up his intention to fight and ordered the army to retreat.
Yan Xing is not a brainless and reckless man, if he can't beat it, he will leave, it is better than consuming his strength in vain. Anyway, Ma Chao and Bai Ma Yicong will definitely go to the rescue of Ma Teng. Since Ma Chao will go to his own death, Yan Xing will also see how much energy he has wasted.
"Break out with me!"
Bai Ma Yi was still more than ten zhang away, and as soon as Yan Xing's spear was raised, he took the lead in riding his horse in the northwest direction. Seeing this, the cavalry behind also followed Yan Xing.
Yan Xing swung his spear to block the flying arrows as he rushed towards the northwest. After a few breaths, Yan Xing had already arrived at Bai Ma Yicong's encirclement, and a spear flew up and down in his hand.
The encirclement of the White Horse Yicong was still weak, the number was small, and it was relatively scattered, and Yan Xing fought his way out of the encirclement with a few swords.
Since Yan Xing chose to break through, as soon as their cavalry moved, it would be difficult for Bai Ma Yicong to release arrows. Stopping the arrows, Bai Ma Yi pursued Yan Xing, who was at the head of the line, under the leadership of Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan and Li Yuanfang on both sides.
Ma Chao, who was in the innermost part, saw that the cavalry on the periphery was planning to break through, and his face sank and said: "Brothers, kill me, don't let them run away!"
Ma Chao, Pang De rode out and killed towards the periphery, and the five thousand cavalry took advantage of the opportunity of Yan Xing's cavalry to break through, one by one with javelins, forming a circular military formation, and gradually spreading to the periphery.
Under the combination of the inside and the outside, Yan Xing's cavalry naturally did not have time to break through. Many cavalrymen didn't have time to leave, so they were entangled by the Ma family's army, and the two fierce generals Ma Chao and Pang De slaughtered in it. The battlefield is full of swords and swords, and screams come and go.
The war horses rushed back and forth, and corpses continued to fall under the horses and sleep here.
By the time the shouts had subsided, it was close to noon. At this time, the long-lost sun showed its head at noon, reflecting on the snow flowing with blood, which was particularly dazzling.
Yan Xing led about 4,000 cavalry to break through, and more than 1,000 cavalry were entangled and unable to break through, and were surrounded and killed by the Ma family cavalry and Baima Yicong.
Jingyuan City is on the bank of the Yellow River.
Looking from afar, I saw thousands of cavalry on the river, and Zhao Yunma on the south bank watched from afar.
"This Yan Xing is so daring!" Looking at the cavalry gradually moving north on the river, Li Yuanfang said in surprise.
The surface of the river is not comparable to the land, and their cavalry pursued it here, and Yan Xing immediately ordered to cross the river. The soldiers and horses on the river did not dare to move, Yan Xing passed first, Zhao Yunma naturally did not dare to catch up, once the movement was too big, the ice collapsed, and in such a cold winter, everyone would be buried in the belly of the fish.
However, Yan Xing crossed the river without preparation, and the slightest carelessness could cause the ice to break, so bold also made Li Yuanfang and others speechless.
Seeing Yan Xing's cavalry heading north, Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun solemnly and said: "Yan Xing is so blatantly returning to Guzang, because he is sure that we will go back to Guzang to rescue my father, General Zhao, Guzang will be a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in the future, are you still willing to help me?"
"Haha, what are these words, I, Zhao Yun, have led the army order, no matter how difficult and dangerous Gu Zang is, I must rescue Ma Teng Taishou!" Zhao Yun laughed and said solemnly.
Ma Chao's face was moved, and he bowed down and said: "General Zhao is very kind, Ma Chao is unforgettable, if he can return safely this time, Ma Chao is scheduled to be a general to drink and talk!"
Zhao Yun hurriedly helped Ma Chao up and said: "There must be a chance to drink and talk, now the soldiers are tired, the previous battle, our javelins, bows and arrows have not been recovered!" I think we will go back to the battlefield first, converge on the battlefield, take a rest, and recuperate our spirits, how about we rush to Guzang? ”
"Good!" Ma Chao and the others quickly nodded and agreed. A group of cavalry returned to the previous battlefield, cleaned up the battlefield, javelins, bows and arrows were the reliance of Ma Chao's cavalry, and they were naturally indispensable.
After recovering the weapon, he disposed of the corpses on the battlefield, whether it was his own army or the enemy's army, they all converged, but now the earth was covered with snow, and the corpses could not be buried or burned, so they could only be temporarily abandoned in the wilderness.
In this battle, more than half of the 10,000 cavalry of Niu Fuhu Che'er were killed and wounded, and countless horses were also lost. Now that these countless war horses have been killed in battle, they will roast horse meat to satisfy their hunger, and it can be regarded as a full meal.
After resting until ten o'clock at dusk, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao discussed it and decided to march at night, cross the Yellow River first, and then rest for an hour in the north case, and hurry on the road, and it is expected that at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, they can rush to Guzang.
However, it was said that in the early morning of the second day of Ma Chao's breakthrough, under the city of Guzang, Niu Fu Han Sui was itching at Ma Teng's teeth, entangled all the army, and attacked the city under the East Gate City.
Ma Teng is trapped in Guzang, and the other three gates can be said to be a dead end, and now that Ma Teng's cavalry is gone, Niu Fu Han Sui still has cavalry in his hands, Niu Fu has no fear, and he is not afraid of Ma Teng breaking through at all.
30,000 soldiers and horses gathered under the East Gate City, and Ma Teng's pressure suddenly increased. Originally, Niu Fu Han had already besieged Ma Tengyueyu. When the ammunition was exhausted, Ma Teng let Ma Chao break through. After all, Chang'an is also a hope, a few more days, wouldn't it be best if reinforcements came.
The breakthrough is Ma Teng's last step, and now that the last step has been taken, Ma Teng has also fallen into a dead end.
The 30,000 army stormed the east gate for half a day, and the Niu auxiliary soldiers and horses climbed the city tower several times, but were desperately killed and retreated by Ma Teng, and the Niu auxiliary army almost wanted to succeed. Most of the things that Gu Zang defended the city were exhausted, and now the soldiers were desperately slashing and killing the enemy troops who climbed the city tower, and the advantage of the defending side was gone.
"Give me a rush, today you must take down Gu Zang, cut off Ma Teng's head, a reward of 100 gold, and ten beauties!" Seeing Ma Teng struggling to support him on the city floor, Han Sui shouted excitedly.
In this world, it is no one else who wants to kill Ma Teng the most, it is Han Sui, over the years, Ma Teng and Han Sui have been in a struggle and alliance for their own interests. Han Sui thought every day that he could annex Ma Teng, but it was a pity that Ma Teng's power was stronger than him.
Now that Ma Teng is about to be destroyed, Han Sui has a perverted sense of excitement in his heart. Those soldiers who were besieging the city, after listening to Han Sui's words, rushed even more fiercely one by one.
At this moment, from the northwest direction, there was a sound of war horses galloping!
Niu Fu Han Sui looked to the northwest, came on a flying horse, got off the war horse and reported to Han Suiyu: "Lord, General Guo is leading the troops here!"
Niu Fu Han was shocked and said, "What, General Guo came so quickly?"
"General Guo led 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 foot soldiers in the Western Regions, and the cavalry went first, which is already less than three miles here!" The scout arched his hand.
Niu Fu heard this, and hurriedly said to Han Sui: "Quick, let's hurry up, you hurry up and attack the city, it's been a month, and you can't even destroy a single Ma Teng, won't he let him look down on us?"
After Niu Fu finished speaking, he hurriedly rode his horse to the northwest, and Han Sui followed closely and went to meet Guo Kan.
But after a while, about two miles out of the west gate of Guzang, I saw the northwest direction from a distance, and there was a roar, and the cavalry came to Niu Fu and Han Sui in a blink of an eye.
In front of the cavalry team, a general straddled the war horse, and the two hurriedly greeted him, got off the war horse and saluted Guo Kan on the horse: "Niu Fu, Han Sui has seen Guo Yuma!"
Guo Kan on the horse, more than eight feet tall, sturdy, armed with an iron gun.
Guo Kan is about twenty-five years old, with a Chinese face, as if a knife is cutting an axe, with sharp edges and corners, a straight nose, and thick lips. It is indeed a standard Han appearance, but as for Guo Kan's dress, he is dressed in a Han coarse cloth shirt, surrounded by a white velvet cape, and wearing a felt hat made of mink. This dress is more like a Han person.
The Guo Kan in front of him is not like the Mongolian golden sword horse from the Western Regions of Nawei Town, who is called a god by the enemy, but like a hunter of the Han standard.
"Pony?" Hearing Han Sui and Niu Fu's titles, Guo Kan's face on the war horse sank, and his brows furrowed slightly. He spoke with an accent, but he also spoke in the accent of Han Jiangnan. (To be continued.) )
