Chapter X
The Rouran cavalry in front of them had at least five times as many troops, and their two wings slowly spread out on this plain, trying to wipe out the Jin troops.
Sima Dan laughed: "Okay! Good! I'm afraid you'll only show up at night! In broad daylight, we'll see the real chapter! ”
Sima Dan turned his head and raised his arms to his subordinates and shouted: "Remember, we each have at least two iron crossbows and three throwing spears, as long as these two guys can knock down the other two people, we will be evenly matched, they are just wild dogs who have driven the ghost side to die everywhere, wait for us to kill them all!" ”
The Jin soldiers laughed loudly, and also spread out the formation, forming a cone-shaped arrangement, with sabers and horse shields on the periphery, and iron crossbows ready in the middle.
"Get out of the way!" Sima Dan shouted violently, came out of the crowd, and when he reached the tip of the conical array, Deng Bing forced him to the second row, protected by himself in front, and the other two guards tightly clamped Sima Dan.
The morale of the Jin soldiers was greatly boosted.
"Listen, if I die in battle, bring my body back to Chang'an!" Sima Dan raised his saber and shouted.
"Rush!" Deng Bing's chest erupted with a thunderous shout.
The cone-shaped iron cavalry continued to speed up, and the cavalry in front of them also rushed with a shout.
The cold wind turned into a scream and cut his face, and Sima Dan's eyes opened with great effort, because he knew that no matter how the master trained himself, a qiē on the battlefield would be very different.
Today will be the starting point of the Long March.
The horses of both sides had reached their maximum speed in a few breaths, and the enemy's horse formation was rushing forward.
Deng Bing shouted: "Listen to the order: Bow down!" ”
The knights of the first row all fell down on horseback, and Sima Dan and the other knights in the inner circle shot a rain of arrows, and then hurriedly took out the spears from the horse's waist and threw them forward.
At this time, the arrows shot from Rouran's wings were like flying locusts, but the opposing striker was screaming wildly and waving his weapons to rush in, completely ignoring the rain of arrows and throwing spears of the Jin soldiers.
"Ahhh......h Screams erupted in the Rouran array. With a bang, the two sides collided violently, and several Jin army knight sabers were like a row of cold teeth, tearing open each other's wounds in a blink of an eye.
With a burst of blood on his face, Sima Dan only felt that his eyes were empty,
In a flash, the army had rushed out of the opponent's horse formation, and he looked back, fortunately, the Jin army's horse formation was roughly complete, and he saw that several Jin soldiers who had fallen off their horses were struggling to get up.
At this time, the soldiers on both sides who were rushed down grabbed their weapons and rushed to kill each other, but the Jin army could not save them, and at this time they had to attack the left or right flank of the other party in order to have a glimmer of life.
The six or seven Jin soldiers who fell off their horses stood up three or four, they fought to the death and did not suffer losses, using iron crossbows to shoot a group of approaching Huns at close range, and killing several enemies with throwing guns, but when the opponent was re-killed by the scattered central cavalry, they all fell on the black blood pool with hatred.
Sima Dan felt tears rushing out of his eyes, and a fire erupted in his chest.
Deng Bing rushed to the rear of Rouran's left flank with a horse formation, the other party was trying to pull out the horse's head, the Jin soldiers roared from the side, and the elongated horse team and the opponent were not facing each other, but riding in parallel, iron arrows and spears came out one after another, either shooting people or horses, like a razor shaving off the skin, shooting down the opponent's side people and horses one after another.
The left flank of the opposing side was scattered.
Deng Bing's saber came from the source, and led the cavalry to roar and rush to the left flank of the remnants of the enemy to carry out the massacre.
******
Sima Dan's saber split the enemy's shield and body from top to bottom, the blood had sprayed him and the war horse red, he shouted angrily with red eyes, and rushed towards the next target, this is a one-sided slaughter, the problem is that the speed of the horse has also slowed down, and the right wing of the other party has come with hatred.
Liu Yi led the troops to make a new detour in time, but at this time, he saw that Sima Dan did not listen to the military order, and still rushed to more remnants of the enemy alone.
Sima Dan cut off the saber of an enemy soldier, and an enemy on one side suddenly snorted and pierced a throwing gun, he looked back and saw Liu Yi rushing to answer with his horse, only then did he suddenly find that there was no companion beside him.
Seeing that Sima Dan was alone, the originally frightened enemy broke out at this time, and they all reflexively wanted to surround him, and the right wing of Rouran not far away made a thunderous hoof, and he was about to be killed in an instant.
If you are surrounded here, you will be trampled into meat in the next moment.
Sima Dan pulled out the horse's head, there was a spear on his side and sprinted, the shield in his left hand was raised, and the fierce horse that stepped down with the power of this rebound rushed out, and was about to break out of the encirclement, but there was a pair of enemy horsemen in front of him to seal the way, these Rouran warriors held different weapons, and their faces were extremely fierce, at this time, they were eager for revenge, and they wanted to leave Sima Dan here wholeheartedly.
Sima Dan's heart was also cold, just now the Jin army relied on advanced formations and weapons, and the attack on the left relied on flexible cavalry tactics and advanced weapons, but if the two sides rushed face to face when they rushed to kill, the combat effectiveness of the Rouran knights was still above the Jin soldiers.
Sima Dan took a breath, and was about to use the "Breaking Kill Chop" to cut through the front of the obstacle, two iron arrows pierced through the chests of the two Huns in front of him from behind, and Liu Yi rode out from among them, shouting: "The prince is leaving, I'll come to the palace!" ”
Sima Dan's horse sped up, and Liu Yi's horse came to meet him, and when he passed by, he said: "If the prince doesn't leave, everyone will be surrounded to death!" ”
When Sima Dan was stunned, the fierce horse under him had already given Liu Yi's horse whip "Bang!" With a fierce thud, Sima Dan, the Fierce Horse of the Western Regions, regarded it as his heart and liver, brought here from Jiangnan, and was no different from his family, how could it have been beaten so vigorously? Moreover, the horse was psychic, and at this time it also noticed that a large group of vicious horses on the right flank of the enemy had rushed to it, so it let go of its four hooves and galloped forward.
Sima Dan secretly screamed badly, and when he looked back on the horse, he saw Liu Yi rushing into the enemy's horse herd alone, and the saber was flying, blocking the enemy's chasing several horses, but in a blink of an eye, the enemy's right flank army had arrived, drowning him.
Sima Dan was shocked and was about to pull out the horse's head, but the Western Regions Fierce Horse just ignored it, just jumped and walked forward, Sima Dan was furious: "Livestock! He pumped his mount harder, and the horse rushed forward even more like a madman, but instead narrowed the distance, Sima Dan's eyes were full of tears, and when he looked back, Liu Yi was no longer visible.
"Prince!" Deng Bing rode back, Sima Dan saw that the team in front of him also slowed down his mount, and suddenly understood what Liu Yi said about parting, so he could only shout hoarsely: "Go!" ”
The two rushed towards the team again, and the Jin soldiers accelerated wildly, rushing towards the enemy's central horse team that was rectifying in a roundabout way.
Deng Bing was beside Sima Dan: "General Liu died well, the prince doesn't have to be sad!" ”
Sima Dan cried: "If I had an iron gun in my hand, I would have been able to rescue General Liu just now." ”
Deng Bing disagreed: "The saber of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is famous all over the world, prince, follow me!" ”
Before Sima Dan came to his senses, the Jin army rushed into the remnants of the other party's formation again.
Although the various long weapons of the Rouran knights from spears to maces can reach far, they all need to be used with both hands, on the contrary, the left shield and the right knife of the Jin soldiers, as long as the shield can swing away the frontal attack of the long weapon, as long as the shield can swing the frontal attack of the long weapon, as soon as the saber underbelly enters the close-range saber underneath the sand and the sword is not much stronger than only swinging the knife with arm strength.
After a round of fierce slashing, Sima Dan rushed out of the enemy formation under the crowd, and he counted a little, and there were probably about thirty horsemen left.
Thinking of Liu Yi and the death and injury of the other side, Sima Dan was furious, but at this time, the men and horses of the side were already covered in blood, the arrows and throwing guns had also been boiled up, and everyone was only left with the sabre in their hands.
The enemy is regrouping.
Deng Bing breathed quickly: "This time they will use bows and arrows, their leaders want to destroy us all, so they are afraid that we will scatter and escape, so they don't use bows and arrows to lead us to fight, but this time they found that they can't win, and they must use bows and arrows to suppress our tactics." ”
Sima Dan: "If we don't fight them at this time, they will stare at us like wolves, and we may not be able to run away for a day." ”
Deng Bing nodded: "They only have one hundred and two or three horses left to fight, but we can't fight hard, we have to take a detour." ”
At this time, there was a sudden sound of horns behind Sima Dan, and when they looked back, they saw that on the hill in the distance, a cavalry soldier appeared, looking up to the sky and blowing a military horn.
The Jin soldiers were overjoyed, and they all cheered, and the reinforcements from Hukou Village really arrived, Sima Dan was overjoyed and said, "We must take revenge." ”
At this time, three or four cavalry soldiers ran out of the hill, waving their sabers at this place.
Deng Bing said decisively: "You can't fight back now. ”
Sure enough, the Huns also heard the trumpet and immediately began to retreat, Sima Dan endured it and did not order the pursuit, but the offensive position of the Jin soldiers has not changed.
Until the Huns were far away, Deng Bing hurriedly commanded to see that there were no wounded soldiers left on the battlefield, rescued four wounded soldiers, and recovered dozens of iron arrows and throwing guns.
The Jin soldiers in the distance also galloped at this time.
Deng Bing said angrily: "Long Er, as a deserter, you dare to come back?" ”
The Jin soldiers on the hill have arrived in front of him, looking shrewd and capable, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt down and reported: "The subordinates did not escape, I just bypassed the hill and laid down suspicious soldiers, I didn't expect the enemy to really hit the plan, and I didn't send out scouts anymore, the Huns are like this, originally there were not many of them, and no one could control the morale as soon as it was gone." ”
Deng Bing was speechless for a while, and Sima Dan suddenly said: "It turns out that you are using a trick to scare away the Huns?" ”
Deng Bing: "He has always been afraid of death, if the Huns can't be scared away just now, he can run fast!" ”
At this time, the other four Jin soldiers who followed Long Er also arrived, and they all bowed down and explained: "We can be a guarantee, Brother Long has already made up his mind and used a plan, and he is definitely not a deserter." ”
Deng Bing sneered: "If he is a deserter, so are you, can you be counted as a guarantor?" ”
The crowd was silent for a while.
Sima Dan shouted: "Since Long Er has really returned to the hill, we can't say that we have become a roundworm in his stomach, we know what he thinks, and we can only reward and punish according to actions, I order Long Er to temporarily take the position of General Liu Yi and return to the camp for another appointment." ”
Deng Bing snorted and turned over on his horse.
So they regrouped themselves and marched toward the camp.
Soon, after dark, Sima Dan and the others finally arrived at the camp after exhausting their horsepower.
Before entering the camp, Long Er said to Sima Dan and Deng Bing: "Prince, General Deng, there is a plan to keep us safe." ”
