Chapter 649: The curtain call of the God of War

Yang Xuangan quickly ran to the front of the big pit, the speed of the black cloud had completely rushed up, he looked at the ground all the way very carefully, and as soon as there was any abnormal movement, he would immediately pull up the black cloud and jump into the air.

The black cloud hissed, jumped directly over the trench full of corpses of people and horses, and landed firmly on the ground opposite, a hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps, in an instant! Yang Xuangan saw the resolute and calm expressions in the eyes of the bearded veterans on the other side, they were real warriors, fearless of death.

Yang Xuangan lowered his more than four-meter-long riding lance, only to hear the sound of "dang", and directly stabbed a big shield, and the soldier behind the shield was knocked out and flew out, knocking down several people with him, and Yang Xuangan also used this momentum to smash people and horses into the formation.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the cavalry hitting the shield was endless, and the knights of Xiaoguo swept into this dense military formation like the wind, and the infantry in the front row were constantly knocked into trapeze, but unlike the usual army that rushed and collapsed, although the soldiers in the front row were knocked out alive, followed by two or three rows of soldiers were knocked down, but the soldiers behind were still fearless, still shouting slogans and squeezing.

Yang Xuangan's riding lance had shrunk to about two meters, and he was holding a chain hammer in his left hand and wielding a riding lance in his right hand, fighting with the swarming enemy spearmen.

The spearmen were very special in their weapons, and on one side of the spearhead there was a hook that stretched out horizontally and bent inward, and the inside of the hook was cut out, and once the arm or leg was hooked, as long as it was pulled hard, the whole arm or leg could be pulled off alive.

Yang Xuangan had seen this evil weapon in ancient books. It's called the Hook Scythe. Specializes in dealing with cavalry trapped in infantry formations.

To know the hoplites. In particular, the ironclad knight of Xiaoguo Knight, who is equipped with armor, is extremely powerful even in a state of siege, and it is difficult for ordinary spears and halberds to inflict fatal damage on it, and this hook and sickle spear that specializes in hurting the horse's legs can come in handy.

Yang Xuangan's hands swung his weapon vigorously, the meteor hammer in his left hand hit three or four gunners who wanted to hook the legs of the black cloud one after another, while the riding lance in his right hand swung impenetrable, like a huge windmill, blocking the four or five spears that stabbed at him.

And the black clouds seem to be dancing. Four hooves flew sideways, and from time to time they kicked the enemy soldiers who wanted to get close to the hooked horse's leg or cut the horse's leg, and at least four or five enemy soldiers with this intention were kicked to the point that their brains burst out, and they didn't even have time to snort, and they died beside Black Cloud.

Soon, more than 20 corpses fell around Yang Xuangan, and the others knew how powerful Yang Xuangan was, so they didn't dare to come close for a while, but just stabbed with spears from a distance to prevent him from continuing to rush.

Yang Xuangan raised his head and looked around. I saw that the second team of five hundred knights rushed in, and less than half of them were still on horses. More than 200 people were hooked by the horse's legs and fell off their horses, and because the armor was too thick and they were unable to move, they were often stabbed to death with random guns or hammered to death before they could get up.

Yang Xuan felt anxious in his heart, and shouted: "Order, rush out!" ”

The strong herald man who followed behind him hurriedly blew the horn, and the surviving Xiaoguo knights took out their secondary weapons and slashed indiscriminately, forcing the enemy to take a few steps back, then turned their horses' heads and rushed out of the enemy formation.

Yang Xuangan put the meteor hammer back on the saddle frame, held the lance in both hands, and stabbed down six or seven enemy soldiers in front of him in a row, and no one dared to approach for a while, and then pulled the black cloud, walked backwards a few steps, and turned around suddenly, and then went away, and the dust raised by the horse's hooves annihilated the pursuers behind him.

Yang Xuangan rushed out of the formation and looked at the cavalry behind him, there were less than two hundred people, and many people and horses were scarred.

Although he only killed less than a quarter of an hour of kung fu in this formation, he lost more than half of his people, and fighting against the evil weapon of the hook and sickle spear consumed people's energy very much, and even Yang Xuan felt that he was quite dizzy and lacking energy.

Yang Xuangan glanced at the herald who was following him, and saw that although he also had two or three gunshot wounds on his body, blood gurgling out of the cracks in his armor, his face still did not change.

And the tip of his lance was dripping with blood, and the head of the pure steel lance was a little deformed, and he obviously killed a lot of people.

Yang Xuan sighed: "Sure enough, it's a strong man!" What is the last name? ”

The herald's face did not change, and he replied: "The villain Sima Dejiao is also." ”

Yang Xuangan repeatedly recited the name "Sima Dejiao" twice, and said: "Sima Dejiao, I remember you, do you have the courage to break through the enemy formation with me again?" ”

Sima Dejiao laughed: "I can't ask for it!" ”

Yang Xuangan stood on the horse's pedal and asked loudly to the knights around him, "Do you all dare to rush with me again?" ”

Even the few wounded soldiers who were lying on horseback weakly just now straightened up, waved the weapons in their hands, and shouted: "Xiaoguo! Xiaoguo! Xiaoguo! ”

Yang Xuangan was about to give the order to attack, and a horse had rushed from the phalanx in the distance, it was the majestic sea, and he shouted to Yang Xuangan from afar: "General, slow down, the commander has an order!" ”

Yang Xuan was slightly stunned, stopped, turned back to Xiong Kuohai and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiong Kuohai rushed to Yang Xuangan's face, and said in a low voice: "The marshal specially asked the last general to come to report the news, so that you don't have to be too reluctant, the whole army can directly destroy the enemy army." ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Yes, if I had 10,000 fruits, the battle would have ended by now, but this battle is a battle of honor, and fighting more and less is not my Yang Xuangan's style." ”

Yang Xuangan raised his hand and pointed to the military formation that had been rushed to pieces on the opposite side, and said: "Three thousand is very fair against four thousand, although we broke more than seven hundred people in the first two charges, we also killed nearly two thousand of them, Kuohai, believe me, the next charge will definitely be able to decide the winner." ”

Xiong Kuohai hesitated: "But the marshal has already given the order." ”

Yang Xuangan smiled: "He only told me not to be reluctant, but he didn't say stop fighting." As for the whole army pressing, except for the 3,000 people in front, everyone else shouted and cheered, which is not considered a violation of military orders. ”

Xiong Kuohai sighed: "You always have a reason, so you can do it yourself." The marshal still wanted to continue to pursue Na Yang Liang, not to drag it out for too long. ”

Yang Xuangan looked at the sun. A little west at noon. It's almost time. He laughed and said, "Please report back to your father, after half an hour, Xuan Gan will lead the Xiaoguo cavalry to take the lead in pursuing Yang Liang." ”

Xiong Kuohai knew that it was useless to say more, so he made a military salute and returned with his horse, while Yang Xuangan quickly adjusted his deployment, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks did not enter the battle just now, and now they each drew two hundred to replenish to the center.

The three cavalry teams in the center formed a wedge-shaped formation, lined up from the left to the side. Prepare to strike a fatal blow at the enemy with a charge of battle.

According to this method of warfare, after the frontal cavalry enters the battle, it does not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, but continues to attack forward, giving full play to the impact of the cavalry.

When they rushed out from behind the enemy's formation, they continued to turn around and rush in the opposite direction, and in this way they repeatedly rushed back and forth, and the infantry phalanx of more than 2,000 people would be completely destroyed.

As soon as Qiē was ready to stop, the well-trained Xiaoguo knights quickly formed a triangular cavalry formation as planned, and the three teams in front launched an assault at the same time.

Iron hooves stepped over, bringing up a clump of dirt. The wolf-like knights viciously rushed towards the already broken military formation on the opposite side.

Surprisingly, the rebels on the opposite side did not adopt the same strategy as the previous two times. The gate of the formation was wide open, and more than 100 horsemen rushed out of the gap in the infantry like a whirlwind.

The rebels' war horses were not armoured, and the knights on the horses were only wearing ordinary chain mail, and one of the generals at the head was Xiao Maha, who was black-armored and white-haired, and was armed with a broadsword.

Yang Xuangan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, the other party had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and almost all the shield bearers in the front row were killed, and they were no longer able to resist the impact of the Xiaoguo knights.

Rather than being ruthlessly run over by someone like a wind sweeping leaves, it is better to survive in the death, rely on the counterattack of the light cavalry to contain the assault of the opponent's iron cavalry, and give the hook and sickle gunners in the back have the opportunity to rush up to melee combat, only in this way can there be a glimmer of life.

Yang Xuangan sneered, rode on the horse, and while impacting, he turned his head and shouted at Sima Dejiao behind him: "Order, the left and right teams will surprise the enemy formation according to the original plan, and the central cavalry will follow me to meet the enemy cavalry!" ”

Sima Dejiao quickly stopped, took out his horn and blew it, and the knights in the back row rushed past him one after another.

The military order was like a mountain, and the two teams of knights on the left and right in the central direction went around to the side one after another to get rid of the entanglement of the enemy cavalry, while the knights led by Yang Xuangan in the middle of the group accelerated their horses one after another, and rushed straight towards the enemy cavalry.

Yang Xuangan's eyes only left Xiao Maha who rushed to the front, his breathing began to be rapid, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.

On the battlefield, among thousands of troops, it is difficult for one-on-one generals to go head-to-head, but today, Yang Xuangan is destined to face off against Xiao Maha head-on, such a good thing has only been seen in dreams.

In an instant, the distance between the cavalry on both sides was less than fifty paces, and Yang Xuangan suddenly found that Xiao Maha was slightly shorter than his body, and the hand holding the reins of the horse suddenly touched the horse's neck, which is usually the place where the treasure bag is hung!

Yang Xuangan suddenly remembered that this Xiao Maha had a secret weapon, and in the battle that he even killed the warriors of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he threw it with an iron halberd and directly killed the opponent's magic arrow.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuangan hurriedly lowered his head, and picked up the pure steel riding shield hanging on the side of the saddle to cover Heiyun's head and face.

I only heard a "boom", and an object slammed heavily on the riding shield, and with Yang Xuangan's arm strength, it was still numb to the left arm, and the big shield could barely hold it anymore.

The curtain call of the 253rd famous general

The pure steel riding shield seemed to have been hit by a sledgehammer of more than two hundred catties, and even Yang Xuangan, who was born with divine power, almost took off the shield, and the back of the hand that was close to the inside of the shield clearly felt that a big hole had sunk into the surface of the shield, if it was a wooden shield, it had already been penetrated by the incoming object.

Before Yang Xuangan could be surprised, he only heard a miserable scream from the side, and the right eye of a knight beside him was pierced by a halberd, and he was planted off the horse at once.

It turned out that it was the halberd that hit the steel shield, and before it could reach its end, it popped out to the side, and it was here that the hapless knight was wounded.

Yang Xuangan has never seen anyone have such amazing strength, even if he throws a halberd at a distance of dozens of steps, he can almost break through the steel shield, but he is afraid that he will have to do it with all his strength.

Yang Xuangan threw away the big shield in his left hand, and what hit his face was a big knife that flashed with cold light and was as thick as a door panel.

The big knife slashed at Yang Xuangan's head, and he hurriedly held the lance with both hands, and "raised the fire to the sky" with one move. Just listen to the sound of "dang". It's like a thunderstorm in the sky.

The black cloud hissed. The four hooves almost sank into the soft soil for more than three inches, and Yang Xuan's arms were even more numb from the shock, and even the tiger's mouth was in pain, and his ears were full of the roar of "buzzing" when the gold and iron were handed over just now.

Yang Xuangan's eyes were smashed as if they were about to pop out, and his chest was full of blood and qi.

Just now, Xiao Maha took the advantage of the first move, and the big knife slashed straight down from the air, hoping to finish it with one sword. Beheaded Yang Xuangan under the horse, if it weren't for Yang Xuangan's courage and the power of ghosts and gods, I am afraid that this knife would have been split in half with people and horses.

Xiao Maha himself slashed down, and he was so shocked that he could barely hold the big knife, and finally grabbed the handle of the knife from the general, so that he didn't get out of his hand, the two horses staggered, and the two didn't care about looking back at each other, and the weapons of the oncoming enemy's follow-up cavalry had already been killed in front of them.

Yang Xuangan waved his arms. A steel lance makes it like a poisonous snake out of a hole, and it first "sweeps away thousands of troops" with one move. Shengsheng beat a cavalryman who made a hammer on the opposite side and flew out of his horse, and then made a move of "a hundred birds and a phoenix", and the enemy on the right who wanted to sneak attack him was cold, and only the angry shouts and screams of the cavalry on both sides after hedging were heard.

Yang Xuangan was in good spirits, and the steel lance on the horse swept and stabbed, and no one on the opposite side could take his three moves and two styles, riding all the way, and the enemy horses who fought with him all rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and in an instant, Yang Xuangan killed more than ten opponents.

Yang Xuangan looked back, only to see that Xiao Maha's big knife also made it fly up and down, and three or four Xiaoguo knights wanted to come up to besiege this black-armored veteran, but before they could get close, they were cut in two with their heads on the ground, and their condition was unbearable.

Just such a hedging effort, that is, with a flick of a finger, Xiao Maha's more than 100 cavalry were reimbursed seventy or eighty, and the Xiaoguo knights had the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat due to their armor, and only lost more than 20 people, and more than half were killed by Xiao Maha alone.

At a distance of about 100 paces, the rebel infantry with hook and sickle spears were desperately rushing forward, trying to help their own cavalry, but they were forced by the two teams of ironclad warriors on the left and right.

The two teams of Xiaoguo knights slammed into the already thick infantry formation like two butter-cut knives, and hundreds of people flew in the air in an instant.

Yang Xuangan breathed a sigh of relief, the battle has been here, the victory and defeat have been divided, the enemy's infantry was forced by the iron cavalry in the process of marching, even if all of them were brave enough to be brave with Yu and Zhang Fei, it would be useless.

Yang Xuangan looked around again, Xiao Maha's cavalry had been killed and wounded, seven or eight wounded soldiers were constantly rolling and wailing on the ground, only Xiao Maha was still surrounded by dozens of Xiaoguo knights, one by one stepped forward to fight like a lantern.

Yang Xuangan turned back the horse's head and shouted at the Xiaoguo knights who were surrounding Xiao Maha: "All stand down, he is mine!" ”

The knights who were fighting stopped the siege of Xiao Maha, and the black-armored veteran was already stained red with blood.

In this battle, Xiao Maha slashed more than 20 enemies, and he was also hit by three knives and two shots, and the wounds in his ribs kept bleeding outward, and his strength was rapidly losing along with the blood, if it wasn't for Yang Xuangan to stop it, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold out for a few rounds.

Yang Xuangan slowly stepped forward and said, "General Xiao, the victory and defeat have been decided, you have reached the limit of what you can do, let the battle go, don't make meaningless resistance anymore." ”

Xiao Maha glanced at his subordinates a hundred steps away, there were less than two hundred people left at the moment, there was no formation at all, they were fighting for themselves, one by one they were still gritting their teeth and staring at the Xiaoguo knights in a desperate fight, he sighed and said: "Young man, the Xiaoguo knights are really invincible in the world, and the old man has seen it today." ”

Yang Xuangan took off his mask, revealing a sweaty, but heroic face, and said earnestly: "The old general's defeat is a defeat on Yang Liang, not a crime of war, facing the Xiaoguo Iron Cavalry head-on with unprotected infantry on the plain, I am afraid that no one can do it better than you, Xuangan has really benefited a lot from this battle, and now there is no need to fight again, you should protect these loyal subordinates." ”

Xiao Maha laughed, this laugh touched the injury in the ribs, a heart-piercing pain, his big knife could no longer hold it, and fell to the ground with a "dang long", coughing up blood in a big gulp.

As soon as the survivors of the rebels in the distance saw Xiao Maha like this, they all cried one by one, threw away their weapons to show their surrender, and were soon surrounded by the Xiaoguo cavalry.

Yang Xuan couldn't bear it, turned his head and shouted, "Quickly find a military doctor to come over." ”

Xiao Maha raised his hand, shook it vigorously, and said with difficulty: "Young man, no need, the old man told you before, the best destination as a general is to die on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud, Xiao has this ending today, he should be happy." ”

After another violent cough, Xiao Maha raised his head with difficulty, his originally brilliant eyes had become dim, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "The old man is competitive, mistrusts people's words, rebels again and again, and dies in the name of this capricious, disloyal and unrighteous villain. I just ask General Yang to bother more about what he said before, and Xiao is also grateful under Jiuquan. ”

He was already running out of oil, but after saying so many words this time, he couldn't hold on, and suddenly rolled the saddle and fell to the grass.

Yang Xuangan hurriedly thrust the lance into the ground, jumped off the horse, and ran to Xiao Maha to squat.

I saw that Xiao Maha's pupils began to dilate, the corners of his mouth and nose continued to bleed, and his mouth started, as if he had something to say. (To be continued......)
