337. Sea of people
>,!
After Han Sui destroyed the Jincheng Xiping Koji clan, he passed on the surrender of the counties of Liangzhou, and left Chenggongying Yang Qiu to rectify and surrender the pawns, recruited heroes from all over the world, and led more than 10,000 horsemen to rush into Ji County with Ma Chao Pang De.
Ma Chao Pang De Yang Qiu rebelled against Deng Ji, and the news of Han Sui's resurgence of dominance soon swept through the entire Liangzhou like a storm.
In this regard, the newly relocated Nanyang people and the local Han people in Liangzhou scolded mostly, but most of the Qiangdi, who had accepted the policy of Deng Ji's fourth-class people, rebelled again, and Han Sui marched into the army, and there was a steady stream of Qiangdi added to the army.
After attacking Ji County for four days, Han Sui's soldiers and horses increased instead of decreasing, exceeding 30,000.
Even if Zhao Ang, the Taishou of Hanyang, mobilized the people to help defend the city, and Guo Yuan led 3,500 soldiers to help him, the total number of soldiers in the city did not exceed 5,000, and it was extremely difficult to defend it.
At the beginning of the battle, Han Sui sent people outside the city to scold Yan Xing for betraying his old master and being ungrateful.
Guo Yuanwei is a partial general, and the defense of the city is dominated by him, Yan Xing turned a deaf ear to the scolding outside the city, ignored it, and only cared about leading the soldiers to obey the orders and resist desperately, but Ji County was already in danger and could be broken at any time.
Fortunately, it finally lasted for four days, and early in the morning of the fifth day, there was a detective outside the city to report to Han Sui: "There is a large army marching fifty miles east of Ji County, and it is difficult to distinguish where it belongs without a flag!" ”
Isn't it here to defect to your own house again? It's just that why is there east of Ji County?
At this time, there will be no more Deng Ji's army, Han Sui guessed for a while, and asked, "How many people are there?" ”
The scout replied, "Much, as dense as ants." There are only heads and tails left and right, and the smoke and dust are more than ten miles, and I am afraid that there will be no less than fifty or sixty thousand people! ”
Han Sui was shocked: "What is the army here?" ”
Ma Chao is on the side. Hearing this, he was also frightened and inexplicable, and forcibly comforted: "Don't be surprised, righteous father, Deng Ji has no such abrupt army in Liangzhou Sanfu, and he has not raised the flag, I am afraid that he and Yuan Cao will die in a duel, and the refugees who avoided the war have fallen here, because the scouts are wrong!" ”
He also ordered the scout to go and report again.
There is a large group of people of unknown origin near the left. Han Sui Ma Chao did not dare to send troops to attack the city today, so he only ordered the army to be on alert and wait for orders.
Fast horse a ** back and forth report. Although there were no banners to identify themselves, the approaching army was full of grown men, armed with a variety of weapons and armor. The queue in the march is clear, and it is by no means a stream of refugees, but it is also not the appearance of elite Sizhou soldiers.
A scout went up for questioning, but was killed by a sharp arrow flying out of the ranks.
It only made Han Sui and Ma Chao think about it with a headache, and they couldn't guess the identity of the other party.
By evening, this army finally drove to the city of Ji County.
Han Sui Ma Chao climbed high and looked into the distance, and saw that as the scout said, the opponent's armor was limited and the equipment was messy. There were knives, guns, bows, halberds, and even wooden sticks, and the queue was chaotic. But the black pressed a large number of people's heads down, and the end of the line was not visible at the end of the sight. The real number is only a lot more than the scouts reported.
"The people sent by this Dingsi Prefecture!"
Seeing that because his own army failed to intercept him, he went straight to the gate of Ji County, Ma Chao was no longer flustered, and said to Han Sui: "Deng Mu'an has calculated that he is poor, and he will drive the people to death!" and so a rabble will come a hundred thousand. It is also unbearable for my army to be swept away! ”
After speaking, he clenched his fists and asked for his life: "While they have not yet entered the city." The foothold is not stable, and the son is willing to lead 5,000 horsemen to clash with it! The father-in-law can watch the battle from behind, wait for it to be in chaos, and then cover the army to rush and kill, and break it with one drum! ”
With the people rushing to promote the army, although the number is large, it is indeed not enough to fear, lest they enter the city, with the city wall to hold on, Ji County can no longer be taken lightly, after Ma Chaoyan, Han Sui also agreed.
After a while, Ma Chao led the five thousand horsemen under his command and rushed towards the miscellaneous army array on the opposite side like a wolf.
This time, Chang'an organized the people of Sanfu to aid Liangzhou, and there were actually 70,000 people. During the march, Deng Zhi took the former Du Ji in the center of Wei Kang and led the county officials and Tingtun township officials under their respective jurisdiction to try to maintain order.
Ma Chao rushed into battle and met Deng Zhi first.
Five thousand horsemen rushed into battle, the sight was full of enemy horses, smoke and dust billowed in the face, and the fierce momentum that came to the front was enough to make many people in the front row panic, and there were not a few people whose legs trembled.
The thief army will not easily let their own family enter Ji County, Deng Zhi has already ordered the horn to be sounded, the team stopped, and the Yin Fengbu soldiers and county officials who were hidden in the formation squeezed through the gaps between people, and stood at the front of the team.
Guo's aid department was close to Liangzhou, and after being ordered, he collected soldiers from Wugong Yi County and Chencang County along the way, and first aided Ji County; Yin Feng was stationed far away from Wuguan, and he only caught up with the people's army led by Santaishou in a hurry.
The strength of this point of battle is nearly 4,000, 2,000 soldiers are Yin Feng's subordinates, and the rest are organized county soldiers, not to mention all foot soldiers, and there are not many long weapons, so it is naturally difficult to fight against the cavalry, but if they are not in front of them, let the horses come in with unscrupulous conflicts, the people will definitely be in chaos, and it will be difficult to survive the first wave of offensives.
At the same time, the gate of Ji County was also opened, and Yan Xing recruited two generals to lead hundreds of horsemen to go out first, followed by Guo Yuan's 3,000 foot soldiers, and they had already poured out of the nest in order to meet him.
When Guo Yuan arrived in Ji County, the city knew that Sanfu Taishou recruited the people as soldiers, and came to help on the same day, and there were scouts sent by Du Ji late yesterday night to blow the horn in a remote place outside the city, and the city also sounded the horn in response, exchanging news, Han Sui and Ma Chao were not aware of it.
It is difficult to defend the city, the four gates of Jicheng have been blocked with sand, stone and hardwood, etc., this morning Han sui suspended the siege, Zhao Ang Guo Yuan did not dare to move lightly, until the city wall saw a large number of people coming from the east, only to summon the people to open the blockade, and only dared to open the east gate once, so that it was convenient to kill at this time.
Ma Chao squinted his eyes and saw the movement under the city gate, and secretly weighed whether to continue to charge the battle or turn around and take the opportunity to seize the city gate.
Yan Xing is under the city gate, which is a big obstacle for Ma Chao, and he is in command of the elite of Sizhou, which may be difficult to succeed, but the Sizhou army from afar, although the number is numerous, it is only a rabble, and his own five thousand elite horsemen are not afraid, so they beat the horse and continue to move forward.
In the rumbling of horses' hooves, the enemy army was getting closer and closer, and Yin Feng's breathing became more and more rapid, and when he waited for only a hundred steps, Yin Feng gasped and shouted loudly: "Bow pawn, prepare!" ”
Stationed in Wuguan all the year round, there are 1,000 archers under its jurisdiction, and they all bend their bows and arrows after hearing the order. However, he led but did not shoot, and only aimed at the front end of the enemy.
In two or three breaths, the enemy cavalry had galloped within sixty paces. Yin Bong finally ordered: "Shoot!" ”
Arrows rained down, flying towards the cavalry, Ma Chao lowered his head to avoid, after a "ding" sound, less than 100 people were unlucky, or the head arrow fell off the horse, or the mount was injured and overturned.
When the warriors rebel. Although Tian Lei burned all the materials in the warehouse, Ma Chaoxiao had been given a fish scale armor with men and horses before. After the chaos, Yang Qiuxiao and the fallen soldiers gained a lot, and most of the 5,000 horsemen were covered with fish scale armor, and the losses caused by the rain of arrows were not large.
At such a distance, there is only time to shoot another wave. Five thousand horsemen have rushed in front of you!
"Drink!"
Commanding the fierce soldiers, there is no leader in the Sizhou army who dares to retreat from the battle, and after shouting, Yin Feng led the men and horses to meet the head!
In an instant, people turned on their backs, their guns and halberds were broken, their limbs and arms were broken, and there was only a patch of blood in people's sights, and all kinds of wails and screams were mixed in their ears.
This is the battlefield!
Those who go into battle for the first time are all trembling and afraid!
Watching the tragedy happen at the front end. Many moaned meaninglessly in their throats.
After the first collision, less than half of the soldiers who could still stand remained, and the partial general Yin Feng was also hit by a war horse and flew out. When he fell to the ground, his chest cavity was sunken and he could no longer live.
Pay such a big price, just to slow down the enemy's horse!
And they did!
In this collision, although Ma Chao only lost more than 300 cavalry, the follow-up pawns were entangled in their lives, making it impossible for the entire cavalry team to move forward at high speed.
An errand with a white beard. Swing the halberd to drag an enemy rider off his horse, stabbing him to death. got up and shouted angrily behind him: "If you don't kill the thief and make meritorious service, when will you wait?" ”
Before the old officer could finish speaking, another passing enemy horse stabbed his spear from behind him, and with the help of horsepower, the tip of the spear came out of his body with a red color, and the old officer could not snort any more, and then fell to the ground with convulsions.
This errand soldier used to be a pawn, and he was extremely experienced in the battlefield, and he didn't want to waste such a precious opportunity, but his cry also cost him his life.
The previous archers have abandoned the bow and do not use it, so they look for equipment nearby to fight with the enemy in close quarters, and if they can't find it, they will directly sacrifice themselves and pounce!
The fierce battle in front of him was even more intense, and some people in the ranks of the people already wanted to throw away their weapons and flee for their lives, but more of them stabilized their minds, and after the old messenger reminded them before, they began to move forward!
The young men were the first to shout and pounce, and some people behind them asked loudly: "Taiping Daoists, the old and young people who protect the fields, are you still afraid of death?" ”
In the crowd of tens of thousands, this voice was insignificant, but when he heard him shouting, more than ten people suddenly joined in at the same time, and shouted loudly over and over again as he shouted: "Taiping Daoist, protect the family and property, are you still afraid of death?" ”
"Taiping Daoist, protecting the family and property, are you still afraid of death?"
Everyone's voice was extremely small, as if they were asking others, as if they were asking themselves, but in the end, more and more people joined, and the voices of shouting and questioning became louder and louder, and finally converged into a deafening loud sound that shook the sky!
Except for the deaf, there is no one at the front of this huge reinforcement team who can't be heard!
When they heard it, they shouted in unison.
One by one, the steps that were originally retreating stopped shyly, turned to the front, and the speed became faster and faster, following behind the Sizhou young man Lang Taiping Daoist, to tear the enemy in front of him to pieces!
Holding wooden guns, knives and sticks that were not very familiar to him, the huge team moved completely, like a continuous wave of continuous slapping towards the horse super elite horseman.
Every time it was beaten, a part of the wave was broken, but at the same time, it also kept taking away a rebel from Liangzhou.
For Deng Zhi, this battlefield command was a failure, the army was scattered, the drums and trumpets were useless, and the people were completely spontaneously resisting the enemy!
Ma Chao originally thought that such a rabble, even if the morale was high, but if they easily killed thousands of people, they should be frightened and dispersed!
He didn't expect that those immature-looking Sizhou teenagers were the mainstay, not only were their equipment and armor neater than ordinary people, but their killing skills were also several times better, and they were as fierce as pawns!
Ma Chao personally fought against the three teenagers, and it took a lot of effort to kill and repel them!
He is under the age of eighteen and sixteen, and he is the main force of the future soldiers, and it is not easy to have such a young man mixed in the crowd, and he wants to kill thousands of people with cavalry without speed!
If you're not careful, you'll be bitten down!
Now, the proud elite riders of Ma Chao have been tripped one by one, dragged off their horses, and dismembered by random blades!
In less than two quarters, the cavalry was already seven or eight hundred overwhelmed by the crowd without a trace.
can't be trapped again, otherwise, when Yan Xing's old opponent arrives, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to get out!
Faced with such a situation a hundred times, Ma Chao could hardly imagine that he would have the idea of retreating!
It's just that the situation is not good, Han Sui was behind, and seeing that the Sizhou reinforcements were dying, he didn't dare to press it for a while, so he had to order the army to withdraw his troops.
The sound of the gong cleared Ma Chao, and after the whistle, he led the remnants of the horses who could still escape, and quickly escaped from this terrifying tide of people!
