Chapter 54: Duel
At the gap in the guardrail that was hit by the skin rushing car, there were no less than 200 corpses on both sides, and the Yuzhou soldiers and the Xiliang soldiers stepped on the piles of corpses piled up like a hill and slashed each other, and there were broken arrows and falling swords everywhere.
There were several loud bombardments and the squeak of broken wood, and on the west side, there was also a large gap in the skin rushing car crashing through the guardrail.
"With a certain Shang, the lord is behind him, kill all these Xiliang soldiers!" Yu Tong roared, raised his gun to meet him, and a tall and strong man Huang Meng, who was nearly nine feet tall and held a silver mace in his hand, was not as good as Yu Tong's martial arts, but his strength was infinite, and under this kind of chaotic battle, he was especially powerful, and Yu Tong blocked the gap with one left and one right. The nearly long mace swept with a stick, and the wooden shields of several Liangzhou soldiers who rushed to the front were broken, and the bodies of more than 100 catties were beaten sideways. The bra cracked, knocking down the colleague who was following him.
Chen Qiong can see clearly in the military village, no wonder the ancients said that a thousand armies are easy to get, but one will be hard to find. A leader who fights well can easily boost the morale of the people below, and can make an army fight higher than usual. Vice versa.
"It's not like just hiding in the village and being beaten, Lao Tzu has never only been beaten and didn't fight back, Zhong Kang!" Chen Qiong shouted.
"Stay with all the remaining two hundred horsemen, rush out of the east gate and sweep to the west and then kill back, I want to teach these bold Xiliang soldiers a lesson." After seeing the dot matrix of Xiliang soldiers, Chen Qiong said coldly.
"Whoa!" Xu Chu shouted loudly, the iron leaves on his body rattled, and he was stepping out.
"If that's the case, the guards around the lord will be thin." Xun You frowned and said.
"If I win, I will be as stable as Mount Tai, and if I lose the battle outside, leaving Xu Zhongkang by my side will not play a role in turning the tables." Chen Qiong waved her hand and said.
"If this is the case, please also ask the lord to give an order, let Xu Zhongkang kill from the east gate, and flank the Xiliang cavalry through the west, so as to relieve the pressure of General Chen. Now that the long march came, the infantry's physical strength was slightly reduced, but the cavalry was intact. The strength of the army is twice that of General Chen. General Chen is afraid that he will not be able to fight the war. After Xu Zhongkang joined General Chen, he ran to the south again, and the lord sent another infantry to respond, which could ensure that the cavalry was worry-free! Xun You arched his hand and suggested.
Chen Qiong suddenly realized that if there was no cavalry to protect the wings and maintain pressure on the enemy, his army would be like a deaf and mute man with his eyes and ears knocked out, and he could only be led by Xu Rong's nose, and it would be very difficult to return to Shanyang safely under Xu Rong's control.
"Slow, Zhong Kang, according to Gongda's words, fight from the east gate to the west, cooperate with Chen Zhi to flank the Xiliang cavalry, and pick up Chen Zhi from the battle array."
"Whoa!" There was no change in the task, Xu Chu stepped on the horse, and the two strong soldiers next to him, one on the left and one on the right, respectively presented two hammers weighing more than 40 pounds.
"Woo---"
Zhou Cang, who heard the sound of the horn, suddenly turned around, only to see a big flag waving in the main array, Zhou Cang's big knife was retracted, and he shouted coldly, "Withdraw!" ”
With Zhou Cang's retreat, hundreds of brave and skilled Xiliang soldiers had just opened the gap, and they were immediately overjoyed. A member of the Xiliang army on the opposite side, Cheng Yao, jumped forward. Before I had time to be happy, I saw that the Yuzhou soldiers on the opposite side suddenly gave way to a passage, and the first strong man was at least three layers of armor, and the inner branch of the flying arrow was inserted in the body and could not hurt a single bit, and the double hammer flying general galloped wildly, and nearly two hundred horses actually gave people a kind of momentum of thousands of troops.
"Sons, kill with so-and-so!" Cheng Yao shouted, raised the knife and moved forward bravely, facing the enemy general who was the leader, and as soon as he raised his strength, he held the big knife with both hands and quickly slashed out, and the slash was mixed with a fierce wind in the air. Cheng Yao could feel that the power of this knife was far greater than usual, even if it was a fierce tiger, it would be split in half with one sword.
"Death to those who stand in my way!" Xu Chu smiled, his right hand moved, and the black hammer in his hand pulled out two hammer shadows in the air, and he came first, and hit the blade with a hammer.
The horses on both sides were running at high speed, Cheng Yao's horse was in chaos, Xu Chu rushed quickly from Cheng Yao's side, and the double hammer in his hand was slapped. There was a snap sound. Wherever Xu Chu passed, more than a dozen elite Xiliang soldiers' helmets all fell into a piece. Cerebral plasma flows out of the distorted face. The two hundred cavalry behind him blew through the gap like a whirlwind, and rushed the Xiliang soldiers who had not gained a stable foothold.
"Hah!" Zhou Cang rushed forward in a few steps, poor Cheng Yao was also brave, but unfortunately he ran into Xu Chu, who was so powerful and perverted. A hammer was disrupted, and Zhou Cang, who had a vicious eye, took a few steps forward, and before he could recover his breath, he was cut off by Zhou Cang's head with a knife. The head and helmet fell to the ground and rolled for more than a foot before they stopped blindly.
Two hundred and dozens of Xiliang soldiers who entered the village were killed by Xu Chu's two or three cavalry, and they were out of formation, and they were still a little frightened. The surrounding Yuzhou soldiers took advantage of the situation and stabbed up. Nearly two hundred Xiliang soldiers were crowded in an extremely narrow area, spears and spears stabbed indiscriminately. After a while, only a few dozen people remained, and then they were overwhelmed by the surging Yuzhou soldiers.
The Xiliang soldiers attacked the village on several sides, although they opened a few gaps, but they couldn't fight hard for a while, and it was difficult to make a breakthrough. The strength of the cavalry is far inferior to the battle of seizing the village, but both Chen Qiong and Xu Rong know that the key to this battle is actually the duel of the cavalry. Facing the Xiliang cavalry who came around and wanted to attack from the south of the military village, Chen Zhi had no room to dodge. The cavalry of this era was very expensive, Sun Jian started from Changsha, and after annexing Zhang Zhi's team, the number of troops exceeded 20,000, and the cavalry still did not exceed 1,000. Chen Qiong also chose a cheap one, annexed Bao Hong's Central Army, and forced the landing of 300,000 Yellow Turban Army, and the cavalry could reach nearly 1,500 horsemen. In addition to the degree of armor that is not inferior to the other party, the quality of the horses is inferior to these Xiliang horses.
There is no way to avoid it, then there is only war, looking at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in front of him, whose strength is almost twice as large as his own, Chen Zhi's eyes rose with fanatical fighting intent. Dragging the silver spear diagonally, he calculates the distance between the two sides and controls the horse to accelerate slowly. The speed of the war horse from stationary to rushing to the pool is getting faster and faster, and the same is true of the Xiliang cavalry on the opposite side.
"Whoosh!" In the process of hedging, Deng Jian still had the strength to shoot two arrows. The arrow was inserted into the chest of the opposite horse only at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye. The painful war horse suddenly stood up and threw the unprepared cavalry to the ground. In this kind of momentum, once the horse falls, there is basically only one possibility, which is trampled into flesh by the chaotic horse.
There was only the frantic hoofs of horses, and the sound of hooves was like a heavy war drum beating into people's hearts.
The dozens of cavalry led by the Xiliang cavalry were far more burly than the other soldiers, and where the horses' hooves fell, the grass broke and the dust was blowing.
"Cast!" The eyes of the leader Naxi Liang are cruel, and his voice is as cold as the water of a cold winter pond.
