Chapter 70: Hua Xiong
As the rumble got closer and closer, a cavalry team of hundreds of people appeared in everyone's sight.
Looking at this amazing cavalry formation, Liu Wei swallowed his saliva silently, and said: "When the knights gallop wildly, there is a basis in front and back, the formation is neat, and there is no sign of panic when the war horses charge fully, it seems that this is a well-trained cavalry unit." ”
Yuwen Chengdu nodded thoughtfully, and said: "The knight and the war horse have both been baptized on the battlefield, and the strength of the other party should not be underestimated, Your Majesty must be more careful." ”
"Hmm."
Liu Wei nodded silently.
When the opponent ran to a place where he was a stone's throw away, Nan Jiyun immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow at the knight who was at the forefront of the charge.
The feather arrow with a pleasant sound of breaking the air hit the knight's eyebrows, and after the knight was hit by the arrow, he suddenly let out a heart-rending scream, and then fell off the horse, and was trampled into a puddle of meat by the following war horse.
The fall of their comrades did not have the slightest negative impact on the cavalry team that was charging, and under the command of the generals, they rushed towards Liu Wei and his party with firm eyes.
Hua Xiong is far smarter than imagined, he has learned the general foundation of Liu Wei and others from the mouths of others on the way to intercept and kill Liu Wei on the way to lead the troops, and after hearing the death of Wang Fang and Fan Chou and others, he immediately made the most accurate judgment, knowing that Hua Xiong, who was assisted by a fierce general by Liu Bian's side, deliberately hid in the military formation when leading the army to charge, and did not show his head easily.
Attack the shortcomings of others with their own strengths.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Hua Xiong occupies an absolute numerical advantage, while Liu Bian's side has only a few people, even if Liu Bian's side has fierce generals on his side, how can he stop the steel torrent composed of 800 war horses?
The charging distance of one hundred and fifty paces was almost a matter of a few breaths for the cavalry who were galloping wildly.
After paying the price of four Xiliang knights in succession, Hua Xiong led eight hundred Xiliang iron cavalry to a place less than fifty steps away from Liu Wei and his party.
Yuwen Chengdu straightened his head, tightened the phoenix wings and gold hammer in his hand, then looked sideways at Liu Wei, and said, "Your Majesty, take care, Chengdu will go." ”
Yuwen Chengdu said that, immediately urged the war horse under his crotch, lifted the phoenix wings and gilded the hammer, and rushed straight to Hua Xiong who was hiding in the formation.
Hua Xiong was wearing general armor, and his unusually tall figure stood out like a flock in the cavalry formation, and Yuwen Cheng only glanced around the cavalry formation, and he had already recognized his identity at a glance.
Hua Xiong has a lot of backbone, he hid in the formation just to temporarily avoid the edge, but he didn't mean to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
Seeing Yuwen Chengdu, who was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, rushed towards him with a phoenix winged gold pickaxe, Hua Xiong immediately tightened the gold-backed machete in his hand, and stared intently at Yuwen Chengdu, who was about to engage with the military array.
With a few subtle sound of tearing cloth, Yuwen Chengdu and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who were charging in front of each other, and the next moment, the four Xiliang Cavalry who took the lead in engaging Yuwen Chengdu fell under their horses at the same time, and were trampled into a puddle of meat by the war horses that followed.
Seeing the scene just now, Hua Xiong couldn't help but gasp, and muttered to himself: "Such a heavy weapon can actually make an embroidery-like feeling, isn't this person's martial arts already perfected?" ”
During the battle, Yuwen Chengdu suddenly lifted the phoenix wings and gold hammer that was dragged to the ground, and immediately wiped it lightly on the chest of the oncoming Xiliang cavalry, and the next moment, a long blood mark immediately appeared on the chest of the four Xiliang cavalry, and blood and organs gushed out along this wound.
The whole process seemed very freehand, and in the eyes of others, it actually gave people an illusion, Yuwen Cheng just raised his arm slightly, and shot down all the four Xiliang cavalry who were coming from under the horse.
After the engagement, Yuwen Chengdu, who rushed into the Xiliang army formation, suddenly switched to another way of attacking, from the silent killing method just now, to the god-killing mode of opening and closing.
Yuwen Chengdu brandished the phoenix wings and the gold hammer in the crowd like chopping waves and rushed straight to Huaxiong to kill, every time he took a step forward, almost all of the Xiliang cavalry that staggered past him was shot down by him, but where there were a few fish caught in the net, they eventually became the souls of Liu Wei and Lei Wanchun's men.
Liu Wei held a sword in his left hand, using the sword as a shield for blocking, and a gun in his right hand, keeping a distance of about ten steps from Yuwen Chengdu, who was charging in front.
Lei Wanchun followed closely by Liu Wei's side, killing the enemy and blocking the sudden sneak attack.
Nan Jiyun put the horse lance aside, and Zhang Gong swept the formation for Liu Wei and the three of them, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had already shot and killed nine Xiliang cavalry who wanted to secretly fire cold arrows against Liu Wei and the three of them.
Looking at the unstoppable Yuwen Chengdu, Hua Xiong's eyes almost wanted to erupt with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Those are all the elite soldiers of a hundred battles that I selected from the Xiliang Army." ”
On the charging line of just a few dozen steps, at least more than 40 Xiliang soldiers fell in a pool of blood, while Yuwen Chengdu, who was still galloping on horseback, seemed to be tired at all, constantly waving phoenix wings and gilding, harvesting the lives of Xiliang cavalry.
Looking at Yuwen Chengdu, who was getting closer and closer, Hua Xiong clenched his steel teeth and said loudly to the robe Ze who was desperately blocking in front of Yuwen Chengdu: "Quickly retreat, I'll fight him." ”
In the face of Yuwen Chengdu, who seems to be descended from the gods, Hua Xiong has no bottom in his heart, but he knows that there is no way to retreat at this moment, and when the cavalry is charging, he can only be coerced and drift with the tide, and he can't turn the horse's head at all, therefore, Rao knows that he is invincible, but Hua Xiong still has a trace of luck, and he launched a wave of decisive charge towards Yuwen Chengdu.
The two sides were only more than 20 paces apart, and under the galloping of the horses, it was only a blink of an eye, and the first round of the battle between the two was completed.
After the blow, the surrounding Xiliang cavalry was so startled by a deafening weapon exchange that they couldn't help but reach out and cover their ears.
The next moment.
Everyone's faces showed a shock that could not be concealed, but they saw that Hua Xiong and the war horse under his crotch were all planted to the ground, spurting blood, Hua Xiong supported the ground with both hands, trying to struggle to stand up, but he heard a click, his arm was broken in response, and he gradually collapsed in a pool of blood.
After just one blow, Hua Xiong's arms, which had a pair of copper tendons and iron bones, were shattered.
Looking at the blue sky, Hua Xiong said the last sentence of his life: "This person's martial arts have been perfected, and he is not much better than Feng Xian." ”
Hua Xiong died in battle, and the Xiliang cavalry immediately lost its backbone, Liu Wei saw this, and hurriedly raised his spear and shouted: "The thief is dead, do you want to continue to resist stubbornly?" If not now, but when? ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and finally the general came forward to ask Liu Wei for Hua Xiong's body, and then led the army to withdraw in the direction of Luoyang.
Looking at the Xiliang Iron Rider who was gradually moving away, Yuwen Chengdu frowned and asked, "Why don't you leave it behind and help Your Majesty achieve something great?" ”
Liu Wei shook his head silently and said, "Their families are all in the hands of Dong thieves, how can they be willing to die for us?" ”
"Instead of forcibly keeping them, it is better to organize a team that is loyal to you, which is more realistic."
