"Charge the whole army! Surrounded by hundreds of horses, thousands of people can retreat, thousands of horses can be divided, and you can make a hundred miles! Seeing that the distance was less than eighty paces, just enough for the cavalry to reach an ideal speed, Brother Pony decisively ordered a charge.

"Kamui is invincible!"

"Kamui is invincible!"

More than 800 soldiers roared in unison, first the first team of 200 people led by Meng Da brandished a more than four-foot-long horse chopping knife and killed it, and then the second, third, and fourth teams followed closely, and the team of 800 people was extremely scattered, covering an area of more than 10,000 people of the Black Mountain thieves.

And this kind of chopping knife is also an epoch-making product, the ordinary chopping knife in the Western Han Dynasty has it, because the knife body is huge and heavy, and the enemy generals can be killed with people and horses. However, because the knife body is too bulky, there are many fine irons used, and it is not easy to build, so it is not widely popularized. At that time, there were no saddle pedals, and it was difficult for the cavalry to wield such a heavy weapon on the horse, so most of them were equipped with infantry troops, and the cavalry was equipped with a horse chopping knife for the first time on the battlefield.

The horse chopping knife of the Shenwei battalion is also very different from the horse chopping knife equipped by the contemporary infantry army, to be precise, Xiao Ma Ge is modified from the horse chopping knife used by Yue Fei, a famous general of the Song Dynasty in later generations. The body of the knife is arc-shaped, four feet five inches long, three inches wide, and weighs forty-two pounds.

The advantage of this type of knife is that it is moderately weighted, and it not only maintains the effect of a strong sword, but also can be used flexibly on a war horse. The one-foot-long handle can not only exert the strength of the knife in both hands, but also exert the speed of the knife in one hand, the striking range is wider, faster and more powerful, and the curved blade is also more conducive to chopping, no longer just a heavy weapon that relies on strength and weight to eat.

It's just that this kind of horse chopping knife is not easy to build, and Li Tie and his son led more than 100 apprentices to make it for more than a month, but they only created more than 1,000 pieces. At present, only Ma Chao's team has equipment, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

However, it was said that Meng Da's 200-strong team rushed into the dense and unformed Montenegrin army in a blink of an eye, and with the incomparable charging momentum of the war horses, these Montenegrin troops with complex weapons and lack of spears could not be effectively intercepted, let alone dare to seek death and fight head-on with their cavalry, and only by avoiding their edge could they survive.

But in this way, the problem comes, the Xiliang Army's charging team is extremely scattered, and it is divided into four squads to attack layer by layer, and if you want to survive, you have to dodge at least four rounds of impact to be possible!

The black mountain thieves were demoralized and uncommanded because the commander was captured alive, and they dared to attack only because of the courage of each other, but they just rushed out of more than 50 steps away and were killed and wounded by the opponent's feather arrows, and their morale was already extremely low.

Who knew that these Xiliang cavalry were so fierce, with 800 people against more than 10,000 people, they were not afraid at all, and they also launched a deadly charge with sharp long knives. With the momentum of the charge, only the Black Mountain thieves were killed on their backs, stumps and broken arms were all over the ground, screams were everywhere, and blood had unconsciously stained the entire battlefield.

In an instant, the Montenegrin army was completely scattered, the generals could not find their own soldiers, and the soldiers went their separate ways, scattering for their lives, fleeing to the steep thorny slopes on both sides of the canyon, because only there could be dodging the deadly onslaught of these cavalry.

The 800 cavalry only rushed back and forth for two rounds to defeat the black mountain thieves without a commander, with countless dead and wounded, and the remaining more than 10,000 defeated soldiers climbed the steep slopes on both sides of the canyon before they were lucky enough to escape. The whole valley floor was littered with corpses and wounded people who had fallen to the ground, and the howls were incessant, but not a single black mountain thief could stand up.

Although Brother Xiao Ma can't bear it, but the battle between the two armies is either you die or I live, how can you have a merciful heart? Immediately shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, put down the long knife and block the killing with bows and arrows!" ”

"Kamui is invincible!"

"Kamui is invincible!"

The Shenwei battalion, which received the order, immediately put away its saber and replaced it with a two-stone iron-tired bow, and rode on horseback to shoot the bow and arrows. One by one, the feathered arrows roared away, the steep slopes on both sides screamed again and again, and people kept rolling down with arrows, and the Black Mountain thieves who were tired of climbing and fleeing for their lives simply became the live targets of the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion.

Su Gu and Yang Feng naturally took all of this into their eyes, and they no longer dared to have a trace of illusion at this moment, seeing that one by one the Black Mountain soldiers were shot down, as if those wolf tooth arrows were shot in their hearts, they only looked at it!

"Plop!" "Plop!" The two glanced at each other, and as soon as they exerted their strength, they broke free from the shackles of the guards and knelt in front of the little pony brother, Yang Feng begged loudly: "General, please spare these poor people!" All the sins are caused by the greed of the two of us, and we are willing to apologize for the offense to the general, and I only ask the general not to slaughter these innocent people. ”

Su Gu also said with red eyes: "Yes, it's not a pity for our brother to die, and please let the general's subordinates spare me these subordinates, they are all ordinary people with parents and children, and I hope the general will be gracious!" The two of them no longer cared about their dignity, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Brother Xiao Ma didn't want to slaughter anymore, so he waved his hand and said: "As long as the two of you are willing to take refuge in me, I will not only be able to spare them and not kill them, but also take off the "hat" of the thief for you people, and from now on you will have land to cultivate, clothes to wear, and food to eat, wouldn't it be ten thousand times better than hiding in the mountains and being a thief!" ”

The two didn't want to think about it, and immediately bowed: "I am willing to take refuge in the general, and Yang Feng (Zhenggu) will meet the lord!" "The two of them have no reason not to agree at all, and now Ma Chao killing them is like pinching two ants to death, not to mention that they have long hoped to be recruited by the imperial court, and in history, Yang Feng was named the captain of Montenegro by Emperor Ling of Han.

"Good! Since you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then we are our own people, and we will naturally not slaughter our own people! "Let's say that, order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Brother Xiao Ma asked, "How many such teams are there under your command?" Where is the current tun? ”

Yang Feng said: "Lord Qi, there are about more than 100,000 people who have taken refuge in my two people, including more than 30,000 strong people, mainly in the valley area north of Hugao Pass in Hanoi County and south of Shangdang County. It's just that the land in the mountain is too barren, and I can't eat enough to come out to fight the autumn breeze, and I heard that the general and Ding Tingshi are going to Luoyang to pay bribes, so I gathered more than 10,000 people from nearby and hurried over."

After a brief chat, Brother Xiao Ma also knew a rough idea of these black mountain thieves, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "If the two of you are sincere and take refuge in the crowd, Ben Jiang can let you go now, but in the short term, you have to continue to pass the thief's words, and you can only give you a new identity after Ben will go to Luoyang to ask for the return of the Son of Heaven. ”

The two of them were stunned, they really didn't believe that Brother Xiao Ma would let them go so quickly, Yang Feng frowned and asked, "It's that simple?" The princess is not afraid that we will leave? ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "Of course I'm not afraid!" Unless you are willing to be a thief for the rest of your life! I don't want to accomplish something great, and I don't want the people who have taken refuge in you to be fed and clothed, otherwise you will definitely take the initiative to come to me. ”

The two were completely impressed, and bowed to him: "I have heard the name of Xiliang's 'Jinma Chao' for a long time, and now it is better to meet when I see Fang Zhifa!" The lord rest assured, although I am a rough person, but I also know the word loyalty, we will go back to collect the remnants of the army, just wait for the lord Luoyang to return, and we will lead the crowd to come to take refuge! ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed, nodded and said: "Okay, this matter is settled, you leave here quickly, as for Ding Tingshi, I will take care of it for you." Then he told his soldiers to untie the ropes that bound them and returned them to their horses and weapons.

The two of them bowed to Brother Pony again, turned their heads and rode away. When the rout on the steep slope saw that the two were released, they immediately cheered, lifted the wounded and did not die, and retreated into the depths of the canyon with the two men.

Brother Xiao Ma looked at the dead corpses all over the ground, and sighed deeply, when people are not as good as dogs in troubled times, if you don't kill people, you have to be killed by others, in order to keep more people from being killed, the only way to end this troubled world is to end it as soon as possible.

After counting the number of people, the 800-person Shenwei Battalion also lost more than 10 people, and nearly 100 people were injured, these are the most elite main forces under Brother Xiaoma, comparable to the special forces of later generations, which really made him feel distressed for a while.

At this time, Ding Yuan and Zhang Liao also followed with their baggage, and Ding Yuan laughed and said: "The virtuous nephew and the hero are young, brave and strategic, and now the old man is an eye-opener, with such Xiliang elite soldiers, why worry about the unevenness of the northern grassland?" Why don't you worry about thieves not bowing down? But I don't know why the virtuous nephew let go of those two thieves? ”

Ma Chao said: "Uncle doesn't know, although these people are thieves, they are just ordinary people who are bent on filling their stomachs, and they can't bear to kill them. ”

Ding Yuan sighed when he heard this and said: "This is all caused by the eunuchs' chaotic government, and it is also my Ding someone's incompetence and failure to govern the land of the state, otherwise how can it be like this?" ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "Black Mountain thieves have been rampant and Hebei and Hebei have been rampant for three years, what does it have to do with the uncle who has just taken office?" I let the two of them go today just so that I can subdue them in the future. The Black Mountain thieves are known as millions, if they can be allowed to cultivate those barren lands, they must also be self-sufficient, so that they can dismantle the Black Mountain thieves without spending a single soldier, and at the same time, they can also generate revenue and taxes for the imperial court, and if the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the world will naturally be peaceful. ”

"The general is really a benevolent man! Liao admires! Zhang Liao on the side suddenly had a bright light in his eyes, and he clasped his fists and praised.

Ding Yuan also nodded subconsciously, glanced at Brother Xiao Ma deeply, and sighed: "What the virtuous nephew said is very reasonable!" Sooner or later, this world will be your young people, and the old man is already dying! ”
