Chapter 527: Capture the thief and capture the king
Hundreds of heavy horsemen galloped in, the ground shook, everyone on the city wall was at a loss, and no one recognized which foreign country's cavalry it was.
Yan Tou's face was a little solemn, because he could see that the cavalry coming was well-equipped, and judging from the reflection of the armor of the opposing cavalry, it should be a full set of bronze heavy armor.
He turned to Huo An and asked, "Huo An, have you seen it?" ”
Huo An is the Grand Protector of the Western Regions Protectorate, and he knows all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions and even the north well, which is why Yantou asked him for advice.
At this time, he looked at it carefully, and then shook his head to indicate that he had never seen it, but he reminded: "There is no difference between friend and foe, and you must not act rashly!" ”
Originally, if Huo An provided any useful information, Yantou could still be grateful to him, but he didn't give any valuable information, but instead came up with advice like an order, and how to be "ten million", which immediately made this young Yanmen captain feel displeased.
The goose head looked at the enemy, and suddenly shouted: "Before crossing the river, hit the middle of the river...... Yanmen Guan brothers! ”
All the Yanmen soldiers shouted in unison: "Here! ”
The goose head waved his hand: "Release the arrow!" ”
In an instant, the archers fired their bows at the same time, and as a result, the bows and arrows fell right in front of the large group of cavalry, and none of them were injured.
Huang Shaohong is worried, big brother, no wonder the captain asked Yantou to repair the city wall, you really don't know how to fight, blind command, you saw the order to release arrows, now an enemy is not injured, and hundreds of arrows are lost in vain!
When the cavalry saw the arrows released at the head of the city, they immediately stopped, as if they were afraid to turn around and run back and forth.
The wild goose was overjoyed when he saw it, and took a sip: "This is afraid?" What is this, rabble..... Brothers, rush down with me and kill him without a single piece of armor! ”
As he spoke, he was about to turn back, but Huo An grabbed him: "By all means, they retreated in an orderly manner, without any chaos, obviously trying to lure us out of the city to attack!" ”
Yantou is most annoyed to listen to Huo An now, so many brothers are watching, you say this to seem to know better than me, he suddenly pulled the other party and shook off his palm, and said angrily: "Do you know the art of war or do I know the art of war?" ”
He was about to give the order to lead the troops to attack again, when suddenly a hand was pressed on his shoulder, and it was like a thousand pounds of weight on his shoulders in an instant, and he turned his head angrily to see that it was Huang Shaohong, and immediately said: "Shaohong, what are you messing with?" ”
Huang Shaohong said unhurriedly: "Big brother, don't worry, listen to me first, big brother's idea is good, go out and cover up for a while, you can break the enemy......"
"Hey, knowledgeable, insightful!" Yantou saw that Huang Shaohong agreed with him, and immediately grinned.
Huo An didn't expect Huang Shaohong to say the same, and said hurriedly: "You ......"
Huang Shaohong waved his hand, stopped Huo An, and said to the goose head:
"But big brother, I don't think we need to take the initiative to attack, those cavalry don't have siege equipment, our Yanmen Pass has high walls, they can't attack it even if they are tired, why go out and take risks!"
Huo An hurriedly said: "I see that they don't bring much grain and grass, they must not be able to stay for a long time, this time the temptation of the enemy will not succeed, and they will retreat soon, Lord Lieutenant think twice!" ”
Originally, Huang Shaohong had already said that the goose head was lively, but Huo An's words had the opposite effect, and the anger of the captain came up again.
The goose head snorted coldly at Huo An, and then said to Huang Shaohong:
"What my brother said is true, but my eldest brother and I am the captain of Yanmen, and I am responsible for guarding Yanmen and ensuring the safety of the Silk Road!"
"These cavalrymen who don't know where they came from suddenly appear under the pass, they will inevitably threaten the foreign merchants who come and go, it is the duty of the brothers, how can they be allowed to disturb the pass?"
He turned his head and shouted again, "Brother Yanmen! ”
"In ......," the city sergeant agreed.
"Follow me out of the customs and kill the enemy!" After the goose head finished speaking, he went down to the city first.
Huang Shaohong was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Big brother, wait for me for a while, I'll go get Fang Tian's halberd, and follow you out of the city to meet the enemy!" ”
The goose head laughed: "Good! ”
A moment later, the gate of Yanmen was wide open, and the head of the wild goose took the lead in chasing after the retreating enemy.
Huang Shaohong held the halberd in one hand and the reins in the other hand and followed closely behind the side of the goose-headed horse.
Speaking of horseback riding, it is really strange, after Huang Shaohong became the personal guard of Yantou, the other party once asked him if he could ride a horse, he shook his head and said no.
This aroused the temperament of Yantou to be a good teacher, and immediately taught Huang Shaohong's riding skills hand-in-hand, but he didn't teach it that day.
In the words of the goose head: "Do you call this a name? You call it 'can't fly on a horse', okay? ”
It turned out that after Huang Shaohong got on the horse, there was a familiar feeling coming, as if he had been tempered in riding, and subconsciously he made more difficult movements, what handstands, somersaults, immediately turning, hiding in the belly of the horse, Thomas spinning or something......
Huang Shaohong didn't know why he did this, but he felt that these actions were extremely simple to do, just like playing, and he couldn't figure it out in the end, and he could only blame it on the golden finger.
The wild goose head is not taught, but he is not really angry because of this, and in order for Huang Shaohong to use the heavy Fang Tian painting halberd in horse warfare, he specially allocated a Dawan horse to him as a mount.
The Dawan horse is actually a sweat-blooded horse, but the horse allocated to Huang Shaohong is not a purebred, but a hybrid descendant of the thousand sweat-blooded horses that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent the general Li Guangli to expedition to Dawan and brought back to the Han Dynasty as a trophy decades ago.
It is worth mentioning that after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's extremely effective horse administration, the war horses in the Western Han army at this time are very sophisticated, in addition to the descendants of Dawan horses and other horse breeds, there are also Wusun Tianma in the Western Regions, it can be said that today's Han Dynasty is not short of good horses.
The war horse that Yantou found for Huang Shaohong, although it is a hybrid, but after all, it is a descendant of a sweaty and bloody horse, and the divine horse is incomparable, even if he carries Huang Shaohong and Fang Tian's halberd, it also runs like a fly, galloping, and is not comparable to the ordinary war horses of later generations.
At the head of the city, Huo An and the rat both looked at Yantou and the others who rushed out of the pass with worried eyes, and suddenly the former's eyes showed surprise, and he pointed to Huang Shaohong in the group of cavalry and asked, "The weapon he uses is a halberd?" ”
Speaking of Huang Shaohong, the mouse was a little proud, as if he had mentioned his own nephew, and he finally nodded with a smile on his face: "Yes, Shaohong is holding General Zhao Ponu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd!" ”
Huo An was a little surprised: "That's not easy to use, this Fang Tian Painting Halberd can't be used unless you are brave and incomparable!" ”
Regarding Fang Tian's painting halberd, some people in later generations thought that it was a ceremonial weapon and had no actual combat value, but in fact, this statement is not right, since a weapon was created, it has its practical value.
Not to mention the weapon Fang Tian Painting Halberd, a weapon with a crescent blade on both sides of the spear in the middle, it is a folding stool for later generations, and it can be turned into a weapon to hurt people in street fights, believe it or not!
There are very few users of this kind of weapon, only one side of the crescent moon is called the green dragon halberd, the double crescent is called the Fang Tian halberd, and the one with the pattern engraved on the Fang Tian halberd is the Fang Tian painting halberd.
Because the halberd has more functions in battle, the usage includes scooping, back cutting, horizontal stabbing, lower chopping, oblique strangulation, etc., horizontal slashing, cutting, reverse parting, flat hook, nailing the wall, turning the stab, through the attack, picking, straight chopping and so on.
Such a complicated function, if it is not used by people who are not strong and not skilled in martial arts, it will become a constraint on themselves.
The Fang Tian Painting Halberd of the Double Crescent Moon, compared with the ordinary Green Dragon Halberd, is more complex to use, making it more difficult for the user to control, so the requirements for the user's martial arts are even higher.
It is precisely because of this that those who are rumored to have used Fang Tian's halberd in history are all the top generals in martial arts at that time, such as Lu Bu and Xue Rengui.
Of course, there are also people who are immeasurable, and they are immediate, such as Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang and Sai Rengui Guo Sheng in the Water Margin, and the nicknames are related to Lu Bu and Xue Rengui, and they have to use Fang Tian to draw halberds, but it is just a decoration on the battlefield, and there is no use for fart, it has become a joke completely.
Huo An saw that Huang Shaohong was young, although he seemed to have good fists and feet before, but at this time, he actually used Fang Tian to draw a halberd on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but worry a little for him, thinking that this young man was a little too supportive, of course, he also had some expectations, and wanted to see the other party's means of drawing halberds.
Let's talk about the battle in front of Yanmen Pass, the foreign cavalry retreated quickly, but they seemed to have come from afar, they were dusty, sleepy and tired, and they were all heavily armored riders, and the horses were not very fast.
The Han side is full of strong men and horses, and the speed is much faster than that pair of cavalry, and they have already narrowed the distance between each other in less than a moment after leaving the city, and they are about to catch up.
Huang Shaohong knew that there was a deception, and while concentrating on vigilance, he loudly reminded Yantou to beware of the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy and be careful of the other party's ambush.
But now he is chasing closer and closer, and he is about to meet the enemy head to end, the eyes of the goose head are red, and he feels that the battle merit is within reach, and where can he take care of Huang Shaohong's reminder, he only took out his waist knife and shouted:
"Don't talk nonsense, you kid will let go and kill the enemy in a while!"
Before his words fell, he suddenly changed his words, and suddenly under the yellow sand outside the Yanmen Pass, several rows of alien soldiers drilled out on both sides of the ancient silk road, and the spears in their hands were connected to the long ropes.
However, because of the high spear, the long rope was only for the knight on the horse, not for the horse.
At this moment, the head of the wild goose that rushed to the front was ambushed, and was directly taken off the horse by the long rope, followed by other Yanmen soldiers who rode horses.
Above the city, the rats watching the battle stamped their feet anxiously: "It's over, it's over!" ”
Huo An's heart sank, the soldiers who stayed behind at Yanmen Pass during the repair of the city were already limited, and the hundreds of cavalry who attacked with Yantou fell, and Yanmen Pass was in danger!
The mouse suddenly pointed to the battle array: "Look at Shaohong is fine, alas, what is that kid going to do if he doesn't run back?" ”
In the battle array, Huang Shaohong had long known about this plot, and his original plan was to save the goose head in a crisis.
As a result, the horse ran very fast, and it was only at the end of the day that he realized that he was galloping on the horse with his current skills, and when he encountered an emergency, he only had time to save himself.
With a shake of his halberd, he snatched the long rope over his head, and the enemy dismounted the hundreds of cavalry in a series of three long ropes.
After Huang Shaohong dodged the first long rope, he pressed the horse's back with one hand, and the person had already held the halberd in his hand and rose into the air, swinging his feet in the air, crossing the long rope and landing on the horse's back.
At this time, it was too late for him to rein in his horse and turn around to save the goose head who had fallen from the horse.
The war drums of the alien race sounded, and more alien soldiers had come out of the yellow sand, armed with bronze shields and spears, and began to form an encirclement of the Han army that had fallen from their horses.
Huang Shaohong swept it with his eyes, and sure enough, it was the group of Roman soldiers in the original plot.
At this time, the second and third long ropes came head-on, and Huang Shaohong hid in the belly of a horse and passed directly on the horse.
He searched among the Roman soldiers with his eyes, and saw that the Roman cavalry that had been retreating in front of him turned around and returned.
The first person is like a group of stars with the moon, guarded by many Roman cavalry around him, this person has deep eyes, a high nose, in addition to the bronze armor on his body is different from other Roman soldiers, and he also wears a fur coat on his shoulders, which looks proud and luxurious, which is obviously the commander of this Roman soldier.
What's more, this person is vaguely similar to the appearance of a certain Hollywood actor, needless to say that this person is the first Roman warrior in the original plot, the great general Luquis!
"Drive!"
Huang Shaohong clamped the horse's belly with his legs, shook the reins suddenly, and slapped the horse's hip with the halberd rod of Fang Tian's halberd.
After landing, his speed increased sharply and he rushed towards Luquis.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first......!" Huang Shaohong's painting halberd in his hand pointed directly at Lu Quis.
However, at this time, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and Luquis only gave Huang Shaohong an appreciative look, and did not meet the enemy in person, and the two Roman knights beside him drew their long swords to meet him.
"Those who offend my earth will ......be punished even if they are far away" Huang Shaohong originally wanted to shout a majestic slogan to stimulate his fighting spirit, but as soon as the words came out, he found a string of words, and he seemed to shout Shen Teng's lines, and he couldn't help but have a black line.
He didn't shout anymore, he shook the halberd in both hands, and the 'buzz' of the halberd was shaken into a phantom by him, and he went directly to the two horses.
Although the two Roman cavalry on the opposite side were also good at horse fighting, they had never seen such a method, and they could not tell whether the strange-shaped long-handled weapon was aimed at themselves or at their companions.
Both of them could only protect themselves with their swords, intending to take the blow hard.
As a result, Huang Shaohong attacked with two people, and Fang Tian's halberd was shaken by his hands again, and then swept out horizontally, sweeping thousands of troops!
I heard two bells, three war horses passed by, and Huang Shaohong single-handedly killed Lu Quis.
And the two Roman cavalrymen had vomited blood and flew upside down from their horses at the same time, and the bronze swords in their hands had been deformed.
On the head of the city, Huo An condescended to see it clearly, and patted the city wall and said excitedly:
"Okay, that little brother of yours actually has the courage of an overlord!"
At this time, Huang Shaohong and Lu Quis were only a few dozen steps away, and after two breaths, the big horse could run in front of each other.
Dozens of horsemen on the left and right rode out at the same time, trying to intercept Huang Shaohong, who pressed his horse again when he was about to face these Roman knights, and jumped up in the air with his ability to transform his strength.
The halberd in his hand has already swung out layers of phantoms, and with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas, it is covered by the four Roman knights under him at the same time.
But hearing the sound of 'bell, bell', the four Roman knights had been shocked by the huge force carried on the halberd and fell under the horse, and Huang Shaohong then reversed the power of the shock, and once again soared forward and flew a few meters away, the halberd was like a dragon out of the water, stabbing straight towards Luquis.
Luquis was worthy of being the first warrior of Rome, and he was not surprised by the change, and slashed to the side with the bronze sword in both hands, trying to separate the halberd, while he sat on his horse and leaned slightly sideways, making every effort to remove the power of the attack on the halberd.
But he didn't want Huang Shaohong to lift his weight lightly, so the painting halberd made a skill, and with the power of Lu Quis, he used the crescent moon on the side of the painting halberd to pick up the bronze long sword.
Huang Shaohong was in the air, retreating the halberd and grabbing it at the same time, and grabbed the first warrior of Rome in his hand.
He grabbed Luquis by the neck with one hand and lifted it directly, then sat on Luquis's horse, and as soon as his legs clamped the belly of the horse, he controlled the war horse to rush out of the Roman cavalry ranks, and shouted loudly: "Put down all your weapons, or I will kill him immediately!" ”
