Chapter 10: The First Blood
A few breaths of the black cavalry rushed to the front of the formation, before the soldiers and horses arrived, a rain of arrows flew first, like a wasp with the sound of breaking the air fell into the military formation, the soldiers and the strong men raised wooden shields to cover the front and above their heads, but the strong men who did not have a wooden shield behind were attacked, a wail sounded, dozens of people were hit by arrows;
After the rain of arrows, the formation of the black cavalry regiment was inserted into the Peijun phalanx like a spike, and the two armies officially took over, Ma Xiao followed behind only to hear the neighing of horses and the roar of soldiers in front of him, and the shouts of killing were more vibrant, the sound was wave after wave, and the sound of weapons connecting was also intensive, at this moment his heart was no longer heavy, he picked up two stones from the ground and accelerated his pace to move forward, but after a while, there were strong men running back in front, and more and more, the people who advanced and retreated were crowded together, and the phalanx was suddenly chaotic.
The cavalry on both wings felt that the time had come, and urged the war horses under the crotch to rush out of the military formation, outflanking the two wings of the black cavalry regiment, Peiguo's phalanx changed, the battlefield became a meat grinder, and the fight entered a state of stalemate, the vanguard of the black cavalry soon caught up with the retreating strong man, like a tiger into a flock of sheep to harvest life, Ma Xiao was originally rushing forward, but there were more and more people retreating, and the crowd directly knocked him to the ground, he quickly shrank and covered his head.
Someone kept stepping on his body, and even someone was tripped by him and fell to the ground, the retreating people were getting faster and faster, he took dozens of kicks, and finally got a gap to get up, just stood up and saw a tall strong man holding a spear to pick up a black cavalry from the horse, and then fell to the ground, there was a group of foot soldiers and cavalry behind him, either the black cavalry was overturned to the ground, or the yellow-clothed infantry was shot through, the tall strong man picked up a blunt knife on the ground and waved it a few times before cutting off the head of the cavalry, and excitedly grabbed the head dripping blood and lifted it high"I took the head of the enemy!hahahaha! I took the ...... of the enemy!".
Before he finished speaking, a black cavalryman arrived behind, and with a wave of the scimitar in his hand, he swept the head of the strong man, and the blood spurted like a pillar, only to see a headless body still holding someone else's head high in his hand, and turned around in place and fell crookedly to the ground. Ma Xiao was stunned by the scene in front of him, he was too close, a piece of blood poured on his face, hot blood poured into his eyes, nose and mouth, feeling the temperature and fishy smell of blood, Ma Xiao knelt on the ground and vomited, it seemed that he even vomited what he had eaten the day before yesterday.
It wasn't until the vomiting stomach cramped that he stopped, wiped the blood in his eyes, Ma Xiao heard a tight sound of horses' hooves behind him, and looked back to see a bright horse lance piercing towards him, Ma Xiao rolled forward in the direction of the lance head to avoid this trick, but the placket was torn, and the already tattered clothes were completely torn off, revealing a thin skinny chest, so that the cavalry of the horse lance was also a teenager, with a black turban on his head, the armor was obviously brighter than other soldiers, and the color of the war horse under the crotch was very pure, picked up his arm and threw all the two stones in his hand, the cavalry boy easily dodged, the bright and dangling horse lance pierced again, seeing that this shot was about to pierce the chest, but Ma Xiao dodged at the last moment and dodged again, the young man snorted, he is also a child of the Chu family, he has been practicing this horse lance since he was a child, his father and uncles are carefully trained, and he has achieved a small success, and he feels that he can go into battle to kill the enemy. He made great achievements, and he went out with the army at the age of fourteen, and this was his first time in battle, and he was very confident in the horse lance in his hand, so he didn't believe that he couldn't kill a wild monkey.
The young man held the reins, the war horse roared, the two front hooves were raised high, turned around on the spot and rushed towards Ma Xiao again, Ma Xiao saw that this person was determined to come to prick himself today, spread his legs and run, but how could he run past the pure blood war horse, did not run a few steps to the horse to the front, the cavalry boy saw the opportunity to stab out the thorn, adjust the posture and then stabbed or missed, the young man lifted the horse lance and danced a flower in the air towards the horse small neck on the split, and he lowered his head to dodge, this angered the cavalry boy, is it possible that this wild monkey has eyes on the back of his head, how to be like the loach in the water, every time he can dodge, When he wanted to lift the lance and split again, the "wild monkey" on the ground took it out of his arms, turned around and threw a large handful of "hidden weapons" at him, the cavalry boy hurriedly dodged, but there were too many hidden weapons, and he was still hit by a few of them, but he was not injured, and he grabbed the "hidden weapon" to see, it was the dried sweet potatoes used to feed the pigs in his own house, and he was excited to crack his eyes.
Ma Xiao's side is not easy, thinking about why the turtle grandson who rode the horse has to get along with me today, and almost killed himself several times. Ma Xiao's body was already thin and weak, and he had emptied his stomach just after vomiting, and now he was chased by a madman on horseback, and he ran desperately for so long, his legs were a little weak, and he accidentally tripped over the dead body on the ground and fell to the ground, and his heart sank, and this is over.
Seeing this opportunity, the cavalry boy clamped his legs between the horse's back, twisted the wolf's waist, stretched his ape arms, and the head of the long lance crossed a beautiful arc in the air towards Ma Xiaozha, as soon as Ma Xiaogang turned around, he saw that the blade with the silver light had arrived in front of his eyes, and his heart was shocked, is he going to die here today.
At this moment, there was like a cool spring water pouring into his brain on his back, Ma Xiao felt that his consciousness suddenly became extremely clear, the scope of his vision became wider, everything around him was slowing down, as if the sun and air were becoming thicker, although the lance blade in front of him was sharp, but he easily dodged it as soon as he tilted his body, this feeling was too wonderful, but only for a moment, the coolness quickly declined, Ma Xiao knew that he was about to lose this feeling, and quickly took this opportunity to grab the handle of the lance and force it to the ground, and sure enough, everything around him returned to normal, and the feeling of clarity disappeared, but he grabbed the lance that almost killed him.
The cavalry boy originally deflected the center of gravity of his body to make such a move, he thought that a blow would be hit, who knew that the wild monkey who was paralyzed on the ground actually dodged ghostly, and now he was too strong and there was nowhere to land, and the weapon was dragged again, the young man completely lost his balance, flipped off the horse, fell heavily on the ground, and was just about to draw his knife to get up, a "thin monkey" with a face full of blood, a fierce look, and a body of ribs smashed at himself with both hands holding an angular stone.
The cavalry boy heard the sound of his skull shattering, and his body that was about to sit up fell to the ground again, and he seemed to clearly feel that there was an extra hole in his head, and he couldn't even pull out the waist knife in pain, so he reached out to block it.
Bang!bangγγγγγγ
But everything came too quickly, and the stones smashed on his face and head again and again, and the outstretched arm that was blocked soon turned into a weak wave, and with each smash, he heard an angry roar: "Tell you to chase me!"
The white brains and red flesh were sprayed everywhere, and more than a dozen stones were thrown down, only the cavalry boy's legs were still twitching, and Ma Xiao was also tired, so he finally stopped, knelt there and trembled all over his body, panting heavily, as if he had just exhausted all his strength, and he didn't know why he had just gone crazy, as if he had changed into a different person, as if he had a devil living in his heart.
In his opinion, killing these lower-class slaves who don't even have military clothes and weapons is like hunting pheasants and porcupines with his uncles, but he also tasted the "anger" from "pheasants and porcupines" for the first time when he went to the battlefield.
"Young master!" At this time, there was a loud roar next to him, his voice was full of anger, a cavalryman in purple and black armor was still fighting with people, and when he saw that the cavalry boy was knocked to the ground, he gave up his opponent and rushed to the horse, "Son of a dog, take your life!" , A spear stabbed straight in, Ma Xiao seemed to be stupid, seeing the spear approaching him, he couldn't avoid it, but before the spear arrived, the cavalry was pierced through the body by a big spear, and got off the horse, Ma Xiao came back to his senses at this time, and turned his head to see that it was the gun thrown by the soldiers who escorted them to the mountains to pick up dry firewood that night, the angle was extremely tricky, and it penetrated from the side ribs of the cavalry without armor protection.
The soldier didn't say anything, quickly rushed forward and made up for it with a short knife, pulled out his spear, glanced at Ma Xiao, and continued to fight with people.
