Chapter 184: The Battle of Liupan Mountain, the Death of Cherrigi
The sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and the state iron horses galloped head-on, getting closer and closer.
Yadan held a large lance across his chest, and snorted coldly in his mouth: "This Han general actually attacked us head-on with light cavalry, it is really beyond his strength."
Cherrigi and Yadan each carried their swords and wielded their spears, and walked side by side, followed by 8,000 cavalry and 12,000 foot soldiers.
"Points!"
Seeing that the two teams were about to collide head-on, and the short soldiers were close to each other, Xu Huang's big axe, which was charging in front, suddenly made a move, and the seven thousand iron cavalry of Bingzhou suddenly separated on both sides of the formation in the shape of a "human", and thousands of horses neighed and cracked on both sides, bypassing the cavalry charge of Cheriji and Yadan.
Cherrigi led the team to rush fiercely, and the Qiang soldiers behind him were also full of strength, eager to tear the oncoming Han army to pieces, but after meeting head-on, the Han cavalry suddenly separated on both sides, making Cherrigi's Qiang soldiers like a punch on cotton, without any strength.
Seeing that the Han cavalry was quickly bypassing from both sides, this made Yadan furious, and the big lance in his hand squeezed fiercely: "This Han general is really cunning......"
But before he could finish speaking, a sound of breaking air sounded above their heads, and dense arrows poured down like a torrential rain, and the Qiang soldiers were caught off guard and instantly shot on their backs.
The Qiang soldiers who were killed by an arrow were okay, those Qiang soldiers who were not shot to death were instantly trampled to pieces by the Qiang cavalry swarming behind, and their flesh and blood were blurred, and even some of the Qiang soldiers' thighs were tied to death on the saddle sheath, and they were dragged by the galloping war horses for hundreds of meters, and their heads were rubbed by the earth full of gravel to the point that their brains burst out, and half of their heads were also rubbed off.
Before the Qiang people could react, the second wave of arrow rain came again, clustered and dense, like locusts crossing the border, Yadan dialed the carving feather, and sprayed wildly in his mouth: "These treacherous Han people, the army will kill them with me." ”
Looking fiercely at the Bingzhou army a few hundred meters ahead, Yadan rushed over with a big lance, and after seeing the thousands of Qiang soldiers behind him, they all raised their horses, held scimitars, and rushed to the three thousand foot soldiers left by Xu Huang with a roar.
Seeing the Qiang cavalry rushing wildly, and the state army, under the leadership of the partial general, rushed up the valley on both sides, and when Yadan and Cheriji chased after them, they bent their bows and arrows on the valley again, "Xiu Xiu! Thousands of arrows rushed towards the Qiang soldiers like a storm, and the Qiang soldiers could not react, and for a time they were shot on their backs, and they were in a mess.
"Get off the horse, rush up the mountain, and kill all the Han army for me!"
With Yadan's order, thousands of Qiang soldiers turned over and dismounted, armed with scimitars, and roared to both sides of the valley.
"Rolling stones!"
When the Qiang soldiers poured to the mountainside, several partial generals and captains gave an order, and the state army had already pushed the prepared boulders down the mountain, for a while, the whole valley was filled with the sound of stones rolling down, boom, boom, loud like thunder, fast as electricity, the rolling boulder was like a flood beast, and in an instant, it rolled up a piece of grass and trees and smashed it to the Qiang soldiers who rushed up.
Those Qiang soldiers looked at this scene in horror, they turned around and ran down the mountain, a frightened stupid Qiang soldier stood on the mountainside in a daze, looking at the oncoming boulder in horror, with a scream, the Qiang soldier was instantly smashed by the falling boulder, the Qiang people who saw this scene, pulled their legs and ran, only hated that their parents did not give them two more legs, although the idea is good, but the fact is cruel, before the Qiang people ran to the foot of the mountain, the overwhelming boulder swept away, and the Qiang soldiers were smashed to pieces in an instant, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.
The slightly smarter Qiang people hid behind the rocks on the mountainside, the larger ones were fine, and the smaller ones were instantly picked up by the falling boulders and rolled down together, and the Qiang soldiers hiding behind those stones were smashed into meat pies in an instant, and their internal organs were shattered.
Yadan and Cherrigi hid behind a huge rock, looking at this devastating glance in horror, and their whole hearts rose to their throats, making it difficult for them to breathe, and suddenly, a huge boulder with stumps and severed arms flew out of their heads, and when they landed, they smashed a group of Qiang soldiers into a ball of meatloaf, and they didn't even scream, so that their hearts thumped.
On the other side, the Qiang infantry without the protection of the cavalry has not had time to form a formation, and was instantly surrounded and killed by the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry led by Xu Huang in the valley.
Forest-like spears clenched, snowflake-like knives and spears danced, and in a deafening shout of killing, the Qiang soldiers were killed by the Bingzhou army, and the casualties and corpses were all over the field.
Xu Huang a big axe, crotch a vigorous five-flowered horse, in the chaos of the army back and forth, into a sudden formation, there is no enemy in front of the horse, from the beginning of the war, died in his hands of the Qiang soldiers not a hundred, there are fifty, there are also Qiang soldiers generals, at this time he is like a god descending to earth, a big axe, dancing tiger and tiger, the cold light passed, the head of the person rolled, the axe split, flesh and blood flying.
A Qiang commander killed red eyes, saw Xu Huang rushing back and forth not far away, roared angrily, danced the knife to fight, Xu Huang saw the Qiang general who came from the horse, raised his eyebrows, and raised his axe to meet him.
"Die to so-and-so!"
Xu Huang roared angrily, the giant axe scraped a roar and slashed head-on at the Qiang general, the Qiang general horizontal knife sideways, with a loud sound of gold and iron, the Qiang soldier's bones were broken, the big knife in his hand was unstable, and was chopped down by Xu Huang's axe, before he could react, Xu Huang's giant axe fell again, and instantly split the Qiang general and the horse in half.
The rest of the Qiang people finally couldn't resist it, and after a while of random resistance, they surrendered on their knees.
Outside the valley, Yan Xing rode his horse with a spear, galloping back and forth in front of the battle, and the sound of shouting and killing came from the valley, making Yan Xing seem to be in the scene, and after a while, he rode his horse to Han Sui and asked: "Father-in-law, are you really not going to help Cherrigi them?" ”
Han Sui glanced up at Yan Xing and asked rhetorically, "Why do you want to help?" Ma Teng's new defeat, the four northern counties of Liangzhou are all in my hands, and Xiqiang dominates the northwest, after all, it is a disaster, we just use the hands of Lu Bu to get rid of them, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone"
After Han Sui finished speaking, he stroked the short beard under his chin, looked at the remnants of the Qiang tribe who had rushed out with a treacherous look, smiled coldly, waved the order flag in his hand, and ordered the Xiliang army to surround and kill the defeated Qiang army.
Although Yan Xing was not satisfied with Han Sui crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, as his general and son-in-law, Yan Xing had to answer the order, and with a move of the iron gun in his hand, he personally led thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry to rush to the Qiang soldiers who retreated.
When the Qiang soldiers saw Yan Xing galloping towards them, they thought they were coming to meet them, and they cheered happily, and spat out a series of Qiang words in their mouths.
Yan Xing's face was as calm as water, he couldn't see any emotion at all, approaching the Qiang soldiers, the spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake out of a hole, and instantly pierced the throat of a Qiang soldier, and then drank lightly, and picked the Qiang soldier into the formation, becoming the ghost of the Xiliang Iron Horseman.
It was only at this time that the Qiang soldiers who poured out knew that Yan Xing was not here to answer them, but to kill them, and immediately drew their waist knives one after another, howling and rushing towards the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The cavalry has restrained the infantry since ancient times, not to mention the Qiang soldiers who have experienced a crushing defeat and have no morale, the valley shouted to kill the heavens, the valley wailed like a tide, and the Qiang soldiers who escaped were slaughtered by Yan Xing in less than an hour, he and Xu Huang killed one inside, one killed outside, and immediately killed tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers and suffered heavy losses.
"It's over, it's over, how can I explain it to my people? I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Han Sui's words."
As the king of Xiqiang, he led tens of thousands of Qiang people to fight, but instead of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, the whole army was wiped out, and if he went back like this, the throne would not be guaranteed.
Feeling that there were no more stones rolling down, Yadan immediately pulled Cherrigi to the foot of the mountain, and wanted to protect Cherrigi to break out of the encirclement, but suddenly heard Cherrigi say what was in his mouth, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, yes, if I go back this time, Cherrigi's throne will definitely not be guaranteed, as the prime minister of Xiqiang, I have a better chance of winning the throne, why not kill Cherrigi at this moment, and after returning to Xiqiang, after putting all the responsibility for this battle on his body, won't Xiqiang's throne be within reach?
Cherrigie didn't expect that his unintentional exclamation would cause Yadan's killing intent, and he took care of his knife and got on the horse, wanting to break out of the encirclement, Yadan felt that the time was ripe, and the big lance in his hand stabbed Cherrigi in the back of the head.
Cherrigi didn't expect Yadan to kill him, and just as he turned his head to greet Yadan, he saw an iron lance slamming towards his façade. Caught off guard, he was pierced through the mouth by Yadan.
"Poof", Yadan's big lance pierced Cherrigi's mouth with a cold light, obliquely through the door of the head, and with a sudden force, Cherrigi's body was picked off the horse by Yadan, Cherrigi didn't understand until he died, why Yadan, who had always been respectful to himself, assassinated himself, and all that answered him was that the world was spinning, and there was Yadan's back smiling away.
Yadan stabbed Cheriji to death with a lance, and saw that the road back was cut off by the Han army, and immediately turned the horse's head and ran to the other side, seeing the valley mouth close at hand, Yadan was ecstatic in his heart, Xiqiang, and finally ushered in his glorious moment of Yadan, he galloped all the way and was in a hurry, just drove out of the valley, and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that on the vast plains and fields outside the valley, the dense army was marching in unison, the orange-red armor was like a red tide, the face was waving in the wind, the black fire covered the sky and the sun, the spear and halberd forest covered the sky, and a piece of wind and sand immediately rolled up between the steps.
The first person, nine feet tall, red horse golden bondage, painting halberd against the shoulder, a pair of tiger eyes blazing, two bundles of big red feathers fluttering in the wind, seeing Yadan outside the valley mouth, the person will be the halberd in his hand a move, tens of thousands of troops immediately stopped marching, thousands of pairs of eyes staring at Yadan.
