The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, when the forward of the nomadic cavalry exposes the flanks in front of the infantry phalanx, Liu Xinkeen, who has been thinking about how to deal with the cavalry with infantry all day long, seized this opportunity and gave the order to attack,

At this time, the distance between the infantry and the nomadic cavalry was still twenty paces, but the infantrymen received the order, threw away their shields without hesitation, and pounced on the enemy with their swords and spears like caged tigers.

The nomadic cavalry's tactics are very simple, that is, they ride and shoot, whether they fight each other on the grassland, or deal with the infantry of the Han people, they have always adopted this strategy, the situation of hand-to-hand contact is not nothing, but it rarely happens, in fact, they can always forward to hit the infantry phalanx of the Han army, even if there are no stirrups and sabers, with the powerful impact brought by the speed of the war horse, it can completely shake the infantry phalanx, and even break them up, but, the habit developed over the years, So that they almost subconsciously divided the team to both sides, and gave these Han infantry a golden opportunity, originally, they did not need to rush so close to start a roundabout outflanking, they should have been divided to both sides earlier, but in the confrontation just now, they have always had the upper hand, because the Han army's bows and crossbows have a longer range than them, more powerful, not only did they not get a bargain, but suffered a big loss, in order to shorten the impact of the gap between the range of the two sides, and had to rush closer,

Twenty paces away was not the slightest problem for the well-trained Han soldiers, and in an instant, they rushed in front of the nomadic cavalry, who were disrupted by this sudden change, some continued to rush to the sides, some were busy turning back their horses, while the cavalry behind them were still riding forward, and the whole nomadic cavalry was in a hurry, the march was almost stagnant, and before the infantry could move, they themselves had already knocked people on their backs,

The Han infantry did not stand by because of the enemy's hecticism, they brandished the knives and guns in their hands, the knife is a sword, the gun is an ash gun, the sword does not have the power of the Mo knife to split the cavalry and the horse into two sections, but it can easily cut off the horse's hooves, the new forging process makes the flexibility of the sword greatly increased, and will not collapse or even break under the strong impact like the ring head waist knife, and the two-handed grip can withstand the huge impact of the war horse without letting go, the same reason, the spear used by the infantry in the past, Even if there is a knight who can stab the horse, it will be broken in two because of the huge habit of the war horse galloping, and it will be replaced by an ash gun that can easily bend into the ground at 180 degrees, these problems do not exist, but the use of the ash gun requires certain skills and long-term training.

The infantry soon rushed into the cavalry group, the sword was waved, the horses fell to the ground, the ash spear flashed with cold light, stabbing the knight on the horse from an incredible angle, the nomadic cavalry in the rear gradually reacted, no longer divided to both sides, but urged the war horse, fiercely rammed into the infantry phalanx, however, the hindered cavalry, the speed was no longer as fast as just now, and the power of the impact was greatly weakened, until this time, no nomadic cavalry remembered, and they also carried sharp scimitars around their waists, These nomadic cavalry have reached the point of perfection in controlling war horses, although they can still wield the scimitar in their hands and make stabbing movements without the help of stirrups, but the power is not the same as that of the Han cavalry equipped with stirrups.

Zhang Fei saw the war horses of the nomadic cavalry falling to the ground one after another in the Chinese army, neighing and struggling, and said with annoyance: "It's a pity, what a good war horse is wasted like this." ”

Liu Xin was unmoved, looked ahead with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how good the war horse is, its life is not as important as the surname of our soldiers, as long as it can destroy the enemy's cavalry, no matter what method is used, it is worth it." ”

Liu Bao saw that his subordinates had suffered heavy casualties in the rear team, and his heart was awe-inspiring, and he said to Beigong Boyu: "I didn't expect Liu Xin's infantry battle formation to be so powerful, and the losses of our army are too great, no wonder the Xiliang army will suffer a big defeat, and what do you say about the trick, it is clear that the skills are not as good as others." ”

Beigong Boyu was also a relative in his heart, and said miserably: "Liu Xin's strong bow and crossbow are even more unguardable to us, this time we can't bargain, I think we should withdraw." ”

These people begging for a living on the grassland, not just a brave man, they worship the most is the evil wolf on the grassland, the wolf is both ferocious and cunning, these nomads are like wolves, in the face of weak enemies without mercy, and in the face of stronger enemies than them, they will never fight hard, with Liu Bao's whistle, the nomadic cavalry team became the front team, like the tide retreated,

In the face of cavalry, the infantry must form a tight phalanx in order to resist the huge impact of the cavalry galloping, besides, two legs can't run four legs anyway, it is a fluke to be able to repel the powerful nomadic cavalry in front of them, and it is impossible to let the infantry chase and defeat the retreating cavalry group.

Sun Ce watched the fat in his mouth fly, his steel teeth clenched with hatred, and he clasped his fists at Liu Xin and said, "Lord, let me lead the cavalry to rush over." ”

The last time he was in the capture of Yangping Pass, Sun Ce remembered the power of the cavalry charge, and he couldn't wait to repeat a good show, but Liu Xin didn't even look at him, and said in an unquestionable tone: "From today on, no one is allowed to use cavalry without my order." ”

Liu Xin considered the interests of the whole nation, if these nomads knew that there were such sharp weapons as stirrups, or even imitated the past, then it would bring endless disasters to the Han people who lacked war horses, only by mastering a large number of war horses first, it would be possible to restrain the cavalry with cavalry,

As the sun set, Liu Bao and Beigong Boyu each packed up the remnants of the army and retreated to Hechi, when they set off, both of them were full of pride, who knew that they had suffered a blow to the head, Liu Bao counted the people, only more than 50,000 people remained, and Beigong Boyu was even more miserable, there were still more than 40,000 people left, and the two entered Hechi City dejectedly,

Hechi County Commander is called Guo Qi, is a distant relative of Guo Yan, greedy for money and lustful, but he is mediocre in learning, only by virtue of his relationship with Guo Yan, he sat on the seat of Hechi County Order, Guo Qi saw Liu Bao and they came back, hurriedly stepped forward, did not notice that the two people had a wrong look on their faces, and still said with a flattering face: "I didn't expect the two princes to return triumphantly so soon, the lower officials have set up a banquet for the two in the county office, please ...... the two."

Before he finished his words, Liu Bao's black face was already flushed, and with a "brush" sound, he pulled out the scimitar on his waist, and hit Guo Qi's neck, blood burst out, and a good head flew up in the air, Guo Qi didn't understand until he died, where he offended them,

Beigong Boyu looked at Liu Bao hesitantly and asked, "Why did you kill him, it's not easy to explain in front of the Taishi." ”

Liu Bao said hatefully: "This guy dares to mock us and others in person, it is really unforgivable, a small county order, kill it, what else is polite, are you afraid that Dong Zhuo will blame us." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bao pointed at Guo Qi's entourage and said loudly: "Come on, kill them all, and leave no one behind." ”

Beigong Boyu saw Liu Bao's ruthlessness, which also aroused his murderous intent, anyway, killing one is killing, killing a hundred is also killing, Suo surname ordered: "Close the city gate, search from house to house, and kill him without leaving a chicken or dog." ”

Liu Bao and Beigong Boyu vented all the anger of the defeat on the heads of the people of Hechi, on the night of the Lantern Festival, the entire Hechi became a hell on earth, the screams of the people before they died, the cries of women suffering from ** and the unbridled laughter of these nomadic cavalry resounded together, seeing this scene, Liu Bao and Beigong Boyu glanced at each other, and also laughed, the depression just now had already been swept away, as if they had won a big battle,

Beigong Boyu raised his head and glanced at the county government not far away, raised his horsewhip lightly, and said to Liu Bao: "King Zuoxian, yesterday I heard in the city that this Guo County Commander has a few beautiful concubines, and it is very lovely, since the wine and food have been arranged there, why don't you and I go and enjoy it, don't let down the beautiful scenery." ”

Liu Bao also laughed insolently, and said to his cronies: "Wine and beautiful women are accompanied by a great joy in life, brothers, go over and be happy together." ”

The people of Hechi have been plundered several times, and every household is destitute, and it is worried about how to spend this year's Shangyuan Festival, and they did not expect to suffer this catastrophe again, but under Dong Zhuo's silver power, these people are obedient, but they don't know how to resist, but they sigh in vain that they are not at the right time.

At this time, the city of Xiangyang is full of lights, the street after dusk is still full of people, a peaceful scene, Diao Chan sat in the small courtyard, heard the sound of firecrackers outside, knowing that today is the Lantern Festival, Xiangyang, the city that never sleeps, will be more lively than in the past, but he has no chance to enjoy this joy, close his eyes, Wang Yun and Liu Xin's shadows alternately, she can't tell which side she should stand on, Diao Chan couldn't help but sigh faintly, muttered to herself: " How did it come to this, I never thought about who I was going to kill. ”

Ziyan ran in in a panic and said, "Miss, Madame has come to see you." ”

Last time, Yanyun also said that Mrs. came, but it turned out to be Cai Yan, which made Mink Chanbai happy, of course Mink Chan hoped that it was Ma Yun who came, she had been in the State Pastoral Mansion for more than two years, and she didn't know much about other things, but Ma Yun's status in the mansion she understood very well, and her current situation could only be solved by Ma Yun, and judging from the situation where Ma Yun helped her speak that day, Ma Yun didn't plan to embarrass herself too much, seeing Ziyan's reckless appearance, Mink Chan said angrily: "There are several Madame, you can tell who is coming." ”

Ziyan couldn't help pouting aggrievedly, there are several ladies in the state pastoral mansion, but only Cai Yan and Ma Yun have met her, and the maid who came to call the door just now didn't make it clear, so she only asked her to report it, saying that Mrs. is here, where dare to ask with her current identity, how can she know which lady is coming,
