Chapter 610: The Outlaw is Invincible
Ma Dai is experienced, and just by taking a glance, he knows that Niu Jin's loss is not large, no more than two percent at most. It seems that although Qian Fei is brave, his command ability still lacks some heat. He was originally just a lieutenant under Zhao Yun, and most of the time he followed people to charge into battle, and it was needless to say that he was brave, but there were not many opportunities to independently command a battle, and it was really difficult for him to lead a thousand people to fight at once.
I don't know if he is still alive, such a cavalry charge, a warrior like Qian Fei will inevitably encounter danger, once he falls off his horse, he may be killed by an opponent who is not very strong, or he will be killed by a war horse.
In such a battle, individual martial arts actually do not play a big role, relying more on the overall strength.
Ma Dai sighed, waved his hand, and ordered the two cavalry teams of 500 people each on the left and right to rush out of the queue and outflank Niu Jin, and at the same time ordered the 500 Chinese army to attack and face Niu Jin head-on, and be sure to kill Niu Jin and his men as soon as possible.
The pace of cavalry combat is faster than that of infantry combat, and the slightest mistake can lead to unpredictable losses. Ma Dai didn't dare to be careless, Niu Jin still had more than 2,000 horsemen led by Xiahou Ba behind him, he didn't want to be seized by Xiahou Ba when he was fighting with Niu Jin.
1,500 to 400, Ma Dai believed that Niu Jin could not survive this charge, so he led the 1,500 cavalry of the Chinese army to start moving, bypassing Niu Jin, preparing to meet Xiahou Ba behind Niu Jin, launch in advance, and seize the opportunity.
As soon as he saw Ma Dai's battle flag move, Niu Jin guessed Ma Dai's thoughts, and he sneered. Kicked the war horse violently, rushed out, pointed the spear in his hand at Ma Dai, and roared angrily: "Kill Ma Dai-"
"Kill Ma Dai-" More than 300 Wei knights roared in unison, turned their horses' heads, and rushed towards Ma Dai, who had just started. They leaned sideways on horseback, forcibly controlling the steed steed, and more than three hundred warhorses with their hooves raised their hooves drew a beautiful arc in the full run, turned in a different direction, and split the five hundred horsemen who were rushing head-on.
The two sides passed by.
The knights of the Shu Han Army were taken aback. Tactical maneuvers of steering on a full-throttle run. They can do it too. But with so many people doing it together, they can't do it. As long as there is a slight mistake, a war horse will fall to the ground, and a large piece will be brought down. The risk factor is very high. This requires more than just personal riding skills. It is more necessary to have a tacit understanding with each other for many years.
They can't. They could only watch Niu Jin rush past less than ten steps away from them, but they didn't dare to try to adjust their direction to meet them. Now, Niu Jin and the others are like exposing their ribs in front of them. As long as they stretched out their hands and lightly touched them, they could break Niu Jin's formation, but they couldn't do it, so they could only give up this opportunity in vain.
Niu Jin simply ignored the stunned Shu Han army, and he kicked the war horse again, squeezing the horsepower to the limit. The war horse was already foaming at the mouth, panting like the wind, and he didn't know when he would fall to the ground, but Niu Jin still kicked the horse's belly without pity.
The same is true of the other Wei knights, just as Niu Jin asked, leaving no behind, going all out, and killing Ma Dai.
More than three hundred horsemen, like a sharp arrow, with a cruel smile, shot at Ma Dai.
Ma Dai frowned, he found himself in the face of a madman. Niu Jin is surrounded by enemies who are many times his own and doing such tactics is tantamount to suicide. But the madman on the battlefield is terrible, and the crazy Niu Jin has caused him a lot of trouble now.
If he stopped to meet Niu Jin, he was sure that he could kill Niu Jin with a single charge, in fact, Niu Jin was now at the end of his crossbow, and as long as he touched it lightly, he might fall to the ground with a bang. However, if he attacks Niu Jin, he will leave a chance for Xiahouba, and Qian Fei alone can't stop Xiahouba. Once Xiahou Ba's main force is killed, Qian Fei may die faster than Niu Jin.
The war horse galloped, the hooves sounded like thunder, Niu Jin didn't leave Ma Dai much time to think, and the striker rushed to Ma Dai's front. Ma Dai was forced to be helpless, so he had to raise his hand and order: "Shoot!" Hasten! ”
The knights turned their horses and greeted Niu Jin. As soon as the war horse was activated, a dense rain of arrows shot at Niu Jin and the others.
"Raise the shield—" Niu Jin hissed and roared, raising his shield in front of the horse's head. not only protected his face, but also blocked the view of the war horse. There are too many enemies on the opposite side, blocking the horse's eye, so that the war horse will not be afraid, and will only run wild with instinct and inertia.
All the Wei soldiers blocked the horse's head with their shields like Niu Jin, at this moment, they couldn't care about their whole body at all, as long as they blocked the head, chest and abdomen to avoid being hit by arrows, two arrows in other parts would not die immediately, and their lives would obviously not be too long, maybe they would die on the battlefield before the arrow wounds were fatal.
They were not afraid of death, and from the moment they crossed the Yellow River, they knew that they would not have another chance to return to the east bank of the Yellow River.
They are all outlaws.
Now, they have only one goal, and that is to cut off Ma Dai's head and cut down the battle flag of the Ma family army at all costs.
"Kill-" Three or four hundred people roared in unison, rushing towards Ma Dai without stopping.
The rain of arrows in the sky flew in an instant, and countless people and horses were hit by arrows, but no one groaned.
"Boom!" Niu Jin led dozens of guards and killed in front of Ma Dai.
They were so crazy that they went all out, and the horse's speed was already at its limit, like a gust of wind swept in.
Ma Dai underestimated Niu Jin's madness, there were too many things to weigh, although his subordinates were also very strong, but the acceleration time was too short, and their war horses had just started to run, and Niu Jin and the others were killed.
Ma Dai made a fatal mistake. He was not wrong, but in the face of the crazy Niu Jin, his momentary hesitation was fatal.
The galloping Wei army's iron cavalry smashed into the Shu Han array, with Niu Jin as the front, more than 300 knights continuously launched an attack on Ma Dai. Although Ma Dai's personal guards fought hard, their horses were not fast enough, and their counterattack was weak in the face of the Wei knights who charged with all their might.
Niu Jin only had Ma Dai in his eyes, and the battle flag of the Ma family army behind him.
Ma Dai's face was as pale as dirt, and he hissed and roared: "Dense defense, dense defense!" ”
The guards kicked and beat the horses to speed up, and at the same time moved closer to Ma Dai, trying to consume the speed of the Wei army in a dense formation and protect Ma Dai's safety.
"Kill Ma Dai!" Niu Jin roared again.
The Wei army's iron cavalry rolled up a raging wave and pounced mercilessly on Ma Dai.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The sound of the crash was endless.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The shouting was deafening.
Ma Dai's dense defense was very timely, although Niu Jin and the others galloped wildly, but in the face of the Shu Han army knights who were crowded together, they could only use their war horses to collide. In a matter of moments, dozens of people collided together, and some of the fallen knights fell off their horses, while others flew up with the speed of their horses, brandishing their weapons, and striking Zuihou blows at Ma Dai before they hit the ground or were killed.
In an instant, countless swords, spears, and arrows flew towards Ma Dai. Ma Dai's guards were so shocked that they could only use their shields to block in front of Ma Dai, forming a thick shield array. However, in this way, it also seriously interfered with Ma Dai's command, and he could no longer observe the entire battlefield. Although he shouted loudly, his voice was mixed with the shouts of killing, and the herald could not hear it.
Losing the command, the counterattack of the Shu Han army immediately slowed down, and many people turned their eyes to the Chinese army in panic to see if Ma Dai's battle flag was still there. The war drums of inquiry kept coming, but no timely response could be obtained.
Although Niu Jin's sacrificial blow had not yet killed Ma Dai, it successfully interfered with Ma Dai's command. Of course, he himself was in a dangerous situation, his horse was stabbed with three spears, he fell to the ground in pain and convulsed, and he himself was slashed twice, and blood poured out. But he was not afraid, wielding a knife in one hand and holding a spear with the other, and under the protection of his own guards, he persevered forward.
Niu Jin relied on his own experience and fate, and relied on the exquisite riding skills and tacit cooperation of his subordinates, he broke through the many interceptions of the Shu Han army and hit Ma Dai's Chinese army at once, but Qian Fei did not have such ability. He is also very brave personally, a battle axe, a war knife, a moment of indirect killing of dozens of people, several times was knocked off the horse, and several times escaped death, re-mounted the horse, but his command was lackluster, in the face of the galloping Wei army iron cavalry, hundreds of cavalry without any formation were wiped out.
Xiahou Yuan fought all his life, and most of his training of his sons was also on the battlefield. Except for the eldest son, Xiahou Heng, the other sons basically had the experience of fighting with him. His fifth son, Xiahou Rong, died with him in Dingjun Mountain, when he was only thirteen years old. His third son, Xiahou, said that he was also a rare general, who was once pinned on by Cao Cao, but also because he contracted an illness in the army and died young at the age of eighteen.
As the second son, Xiahou Ba has followed Xiahou Yuan for the longest time and has the most experience. At this moment, he roughly grasped the situation of the Shu Han army just by the position and shape of the battle flag of the Shu Han army, and knew that Niu Jin had successfully achieved his tactical goal and entangled Ma Dai, and the cavalry in front of him, who had no formation at all, was just a lamb to be slaughtered.
Xiahou Ba did not hesitate and issued the order to charge.
The 2,500 knights of the Wei army, who looked at death as if they were at home, roared angrily, and formed a sagile charge formation to kill the Shu Han army in the run, like a giant plow, easily breaking through Qian Fei's blockade and killing the main force of the Shu Han army who was uncertain.
Ma Dai, who was tightly protected by shields, heard the sirens coming from all directions, felt the shaking of the earth, and his heart shook violently. He knew that it must have been Xiahou Ba who led the main force to arrive, but he was still entangled here by Niu Jin. The cavalry waiting for his command is now in danger of being wiped out, and all the hard work of Prime Minister Zhuge may be wasted in his hands.
Ma Dai felt a burst of blood rushing to his head, he pushed away the guards around him, and roared: "Beat the drum, meet the enemy!" ”…… (To be continued......)
