Chapter 54: The First Battle of the Central Plains
Brother Xiao Ma secretly said that it is not good, sure enough, someone is instructing these Black Mountain thieves, otherwise they would not know that there are women in the convoy? You must know that Du Xiuniang and the beauty of the two months lived in two big carriages respectively, and rarely showed up in the past few days. Even the sergeants and soldiers did not know about it, and these black mountain thieves not only knew but also directly begged for it, which was very strange.
After thinking about it, he whispered to Meng Da behind him: "Zi Jing and leave the plundering formation, once the thief army approaches, immediately release the arrows, and then launch a charge, I will personally meet these two thief generals!" ”
Meng Da nodded and said, "Obey, lord be careful!" ”
Brother Xiao Ma nodded, turned around and shouted, "Don't be ashamed!" I know that you are all poor people, and I know that you are forced to enter the mountains as thieves. Today, the general will give you a chance, as long as you are willing to lead your subordinates to surrender to the general, I promise to get rid of your guilt in front of the Son of Heaven, and have an official position, as long as you make more military exploits in the future, it is not difficult to seal your wife and son, and become famous in the world, so why hide in the mountains and be a thief that everyone shouts and beats? ”
The two of them were slightly moved when they heard this, and discussed in a low voice for a while, Yang Feng shouted: "The Son of Heaven is mediocre, and the eunuch is in charge!" Aren't we being forced by the court to be a thief? Ma Mengqi, I heard that you are a young hero, and you value love and righteousness, but you want me to bow down and be a subordinate, that is absolutely impossible! ”
After a pause, he said: "Lord Ding is also a good official who loves the people like a son, and we didn't want to be embarrassed by you." However, I just got the news that you are going to Luoyang with dozens of boxes of jewelry to pay bribes to the eunuchs, and those jewels are better than giving them to the eunuchs, so we have to be offended. ”
Zheng Gu also shouted: "Yes, although we are anti-thieves, we never plunder the poor people, but often help the poor people who are oppressed by the family and the government, otherwise our Montenegrin army can grow to millions of people?" Today, we don't want to bully more than less, as long as you are willing to leave jewelry, horses and women, I promise not to hurt you a single soldier! ”
Brother Xiao Ma nodded secretly when he heard this, knowing that what these two people said was true, most of the Black Mountain Army belonged to the rebel army, and there were indeed many people who couldn't afford to eat to join them. However, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and the Montenegrin army is also uneven, and several generals are even more independent, so there are also some people who burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil, so that the Montenegrin army is scolded as "Montenegrin thieves!" ”
"The two of you don't talk a lot, and it doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, these dozen or so carriages are indeed gold, silver and jewelry, but they are not used by me and Lord Ding to bribe, but they are actually the tribute of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Xubu Bone King to today's son, if you want to stay, you must first ask me if the Tianlong Broken City Halberd in my hand agrees, who dares to fight with me?"
As soon as these words came out, the thief army immediately exploded, and nearly 20,000 black mountain thieves were eager to try, just wanting to step forward to kill the retired officers and soldiers and rob them madly. Su Gu and Yang Feng were also full of joy, as long as they snatched these jewels and exchanged them for food, it was enough for nearly 100,000 people, including the old and young, women and children, to eat for two or three years.
But after all, the two of them had seen the big scene, and they didn't faint when they saw wealth like those sergeants, Yang Feng drank the slowly advancing team, turned around and whispered: "Big brother, you stay and sweep the battle for your brother, you must guard against fraud in the official army!" I'm going to meet this yellow-mouthed kid, and he doesn't have much ability! ”
Su Gu frowned and said: "Brother, it's better to be careful, don't underestimate the enemy, I don't think this young general is simple, otherwise how dare you fight in the face of our 20,000 troops?" ”
"Brother knows!" Yang Feng said that he slapped the horse and rushed straight towards Brother Xiaoma, shouting: "Huangkou Xiaoer is rampant!" Hanoi Yang Van Binh came to meet you. ”
Ma Chao, who was scolded as a "yellow-mouthed child", couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, and urged Ma Tinghald to meet him.
The two of them only used three combinations to fight together, and Brother Xiao Ma figured out Yang Feng's strength, which was not bad overall, at most with Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Meng Da at the same level, far inferior to Pang De and Wang Shuang, and even the nine-year-old Ma Tie was slightly better in strength. For a military general of this level, Xiao Ma can be directly slashed under the horse in three rounds, and he can be captured alive in ten rounds!
The two horses staggered and then turned around and fought in one place, and in a blink of an eye, twenty or thirty times passed, and Brother Xiao Ma deliberately released the water with only fifty percent of his strength, and the two of them were evenly matched, and it was difficult to solve.
Yang Feng saw that Brother Xiaoma's strength was not enough, and he was immediately shocked, and a red tassel spear flew down the mountain, quite powerful. But as soon as the thirty rounds passed, Yang Feng gradually became a little unable to resist, and was almost completely suppressed at the downwind, difficult to support left and right, and was full of dangers, and almost lost his life several times.
Seeing Yang Feng in distress, he couldn't help but be secretly anxious, he wanted to be stronger than Yang Feng in his martial arts, and immediately slapped his horse out of the crowd, shouting: "Brother, don't panic, brother is here to help you!" "Let's pick up the big axe, and we will fight both horses.
Sure enough, I was fooled! Brother Xiao Ma was overjoyed, and he acted for a long time in order to win these two people in one fell swoop, otherwise if only one person was taken, the other person would definitely lead the army to attack, and even if he could win, it would be worth the loss, so he temporarily came up with a strategy to lure the enemy.
Now that the people are in place, Brother Xiao Ma doesn't have to be polite anymore, and shouted: "I don't know whether I live or die, I see that Ben will capture the two of you alive today!" Seeing that the solid was already in front of him, Ma Chao suddenly exerted his strength, and the one hundred and twenty-nine pound Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd slashed straight towards Yang Feng's top door without any fancy blows, and this blow had already used eighty percent of its strength.
Yang Feng was shocked, and hurriedly raised the gun with both hands to parry, only to feel that his head was like pressing a mountain, and he was shocked to the point that the tiger's mouth was broken, and the stainless steel spear was also split and bent and flew away, and then his chest was stuffy, "Wow!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he already suffered a lot of internal injuries.
Brother Xiao Ma didn't want to hurt his surname, the halberd slapped on his left shoulder as soon as he turned, Yang Feng screamed and fell directly under the horse, lying on the ground and coughing up blood, his face was pale.
This scene only happened in the blink of an eye, although he was a little silly but not stupid at all, on the contrary, he was very shrewd, and immediately understood that he had fallen for the enemy's plan, and he was about to retreat to his own position.
But how could Brother Xiao Ma let him escape from Wuzhi Mountain, his feet knocked hard, his crotch suddenly thundered and his four legs violently exerted, and a man and a horse rushed out more than two feet away like a bolt of lightning, and it only took three vertical leaps to catch up with the solid man who had just turned the horse's head.
Su Gu was shocked and said secretly: My life is over! Subconsciously, he turned around and slashed an axe.
"Bell!" With the sound of gold and iron, the long-handled axe flew away without any suspense. Ma Chao rode over, and with a halberd on the back of the solid heart, a light and heavy beat, after a muffled snort, the ground was dusty, and there was another captive.
"Ahh Handsome! ”
"Brothers, kill and rescue the handsome!"
"Fight with these officers and soldiers!"
The captured Montenegrin army of the commander completely exploded, and under the bewitchment of the middle-level generals, they were about to rush up and fight hard! More than 20,000 people launched a charge in dense formation.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Ma's eyes, and he turned around and shouted, "When will you wait if you don't release arrows at this time?" ”
The soldiers of the Eight Hundred Shenwei Battalion were already ready, and as soon as the words fell, a bowstring sound sounded. Because the distance was one hundred and fifty paces, and the opponent's formation was dense, the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion chose to shoot, and 800 feathered arrows flew straight towards the dense Black Mountain Army in a parabola.
The screams are endless, although the power of the bow and arrow is not as good as the strong crossbow, but the rate of fire is several times faster than the strong crossbow, not to mention that the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion do not need to aim at all, 800 people shoot indiscriminately in a crowded place, anyway, there are always unlucky ghosts when there are many people. Basically, the Black Mountain Bandit could shoot a round of feathered arrows every five steps forward in the Shenwei Battalion. By the time the two armies were a hundred paces apart, the Black Mountain thieves had already withstood ten rounds of feather arrows, and even if the eight thousand feather arrows only hit forty percent, the casualties caused were extremely considerable.
Zheng Gu and Yang Feng had already been tied up and trapped by the soldiers who had caught up, and they originally hoped that the soldiers under their command could save them, but when they saw that their troops had just rushed out of fifty steps and suffered nearly two percent casualties, they were only frightened, and their eyes were even more wide as they looked at the Eight Hundred Shenwei Battalion.
Behind them, Zhang Liao and Ding Yuan's eyes also widened, these 800 people are simply freaks and demons! There are quite a few ordinary archers and states, but they have never seen an archery battalion where everyone can shoot an enemy at a distance of 150 paces.
You must know that most of the bows at that time were made of bamboo and hardwood, and the bowstring was generally cow tendon, the process was complex and the life was short, and the power was extremely limited, and the effective lethality was generally only within 100 steps. Unless it is a bow made of special materials, but obviously this kind of bow cannot be popularized in the army at all, even ordinary generals may not have it.
The Shenwei Battalion is different, all of his 7,000 Shenwei Battalion are soldiers of a hundred battles, and they are formed by the elite soldiers selected from the 100,000 army who have been trained for more than six months in actual combat, how can they be compared to ordinary archers? In addition, the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion were equipped with two strong bows, one was an authentic two-stone iron tire bow used for long-distance killing, and the other was a yew wood strong bow that saved more physical strength within a hundred steps, and Ma Teng's savings were spent on making these strong bows alone.
In addition, all the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion wore iron wrenches on the thumb of their right hands, and although such wrenches existed in the world, there were very few that were actually specially equipped for army archers. Brother Pony was not stingy, and every soldier of the Shenwei Battalion was equipped to speed up the rate of fire and prevent finger injuries.
Details determine success or failure, and the reason why Xiao Ma can succeed in the prairie is because he pays attention to every detail, and only in this way can he cast an elite marksman.
Despite the heavy casualties, the Black Mountain thieves still had no intention of retreating, and rushed forward as if they were deadly, just wanting to rescue their respected commander.
Seeing that these Black Mountain thieves had rushed within a hundred steps, Xiao Ma Brother was also frowning, he really couldn't bear to slaughter these poor people, and he couldn't bear to let his elite troops fight with these Black Mountain thieves, but he still understood the reason why he was not in charge of the troops, and immediately raised his halberd and shouted: "The soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion obeyed the order, put away their bows and arrows, scattered the formation and prepared to charge, and enveloped thousands of people with thousands of horses, and annihilated this thief army with all their might!" ”
"Kamui is invincible!"
"Kamui is invincible!"
Eight hundred people were not afraid to fight against more than ten thousand people, and with a loud slogan, these people immediately dispersed into four groups of two hundred people each, and the formation was extremely scattered!
