Chapter 669: Violent Tiger
At this moment, on the battlefield of Changping Pavilion, Wu Fu also rushed to the front line with the Changshui Tooth soldiers.
And unlike Xu Huang's slight sigh, his emotions were much stronger, to be honest, he never expected that the assault cavalry of the Taishan Army would be so strong.
You must know that the 3,000 Han cavalry he brought with him are almost all the belongings of the Kwantung Imperial Court, which have been honed from countless battlefields, and although the cavalry of the Taishan Army on the opposite side is quite numerous, how can they be as sharp?
But what about now? As soon as he looked over, he concluded that the enemy army must be inferior to his own in numbers, but what was the result? But he fought so hard.
As he saw at this time, on the plain not far away, a cavalry general of the enemy army dared to rush straight to a nearby Han cavalry formation with only a dozen horsemen.
The knight was fully armored, and a thick horse lance in his hand rushed in when he saw the Han soldiers in a gap, and he would shout at every blow.
After stabbing three people in a row, the horse lance in the hand of the rider finally broke, but this person did not panic at all, first dragged a Han rider with his bare hands, and then easily took the horse lance of the Han rider, and by the way, he also knocked the man to death with the horse lance.
Then, this person continued to storm the tiger Feng He, the horse lance swept, and several people fell off their horses, until he grabbed a horse that was obviously a Han army cavalry general, and rushed out of the cavalry formation with a choke, and then walked away.
And in the whole process, the cavalry that charged with the man was not damaged, but the Han cavalry was killed on his back.
This is not over, after the cavalry captured a Han general, he returned his horse and shouted:
"Remember, rusher, Fufeng Jinma Chao!"
Then, more than a dozen cavalrymen behind him also shouted:
"Rusher, Fufeng Jinma Chao!"
Wu Fu in the distance was dumbfounded, he was also a top-notch hero, but he had never seen a general's courage to this extent.
Even, he had never heard of this Ma Chao before, so it can be seen that this person's status in the Taishan Army is not very high, but such a middle and low-level military minister has such martial arts.
Could it be that the fierce general of the Taishan Army is really a vehicle?
In the end, Wu Fu just watched the horse rush away, and did not continue the pursuit.
This battle can't be fought like this, otherwise these elite cavalry of his will be buried here sooner or later.
Therefore, Wu Fu, who had made a decision, planned to use the cavalry regiment of his own army as the main formation, constantly roaming the battlefield, and regrouping the Han cavalry scattered everywhere.
When the time comes, fight and go, retreat to Tianjing Pass.
But just as Wu Fu was about to blow the trumpet to dispatch the cavalry to move, Ma Chao, who had rushed away, turned around again.
This time, it was no longer the dozen or so horsemen who followed him, but a hundred horsemen, and they were led by Ma Chao and headed straight in the direction where Wu Fu was.
In fact, before Ma Chao rushed into battle, he saw the cavalry in the distance, and when he saw that the army was full of banners and the soldiers and horses were clean, he knew that this soldier was not easy to deal with.
But the more this is the case, Ma Chao is sure that there are big fish in it, but no matter how conceited Ma Chao is, he knows that the dozen or so people can't rush in on his own.
So he decisively left here, intending to go to the neighborhood to find friendly troops and then kill them back.
And Ma Chao's luck was very good, after he rushed out, he tortured the prisoner he had captured, and asked him, who was in the cavalry group of hundreds of people just now?
The Han army cavalry general didn't plan to say it at first, but after being beaten by Ma Chao, he finally replied with a bloody face:
"That's Captain Wu's Changshui Battalion."
Ma Chao understood this, and immediately reacted:
"Captain Changshui?"
The Han army cavalry general nodded suddenly, and just as he was about to speak, suddenly he was stuffed with a ring knife by Ma Chao in his hand.
Before he could come back to his senses, Ma Chao smashed his Heavenly Spirit Cover with an iron bone, and then let the rider behind cut off his head and tie it around the horse's neck.
That's right, the Taishan Army does prohibit the killing of prisoners, but is it also a prisoner who still holds a ring-headed knife in his hand?
This is the gray between black and white.
After solving this burden, Ma Chao looked at a place with the loudest killing sound and rushed to it, and not long after he rushed, he saw a hundred horses rushing from the opposite side.
Just looking at the flag and military uniform, it is your own people.
Ma Chao's luck was very good, and the army he met happened to be Pang De, the left general of the right guard of the Flying Tiger Army.
The Flying Tiger Army is a pure cavalry army, with an establishment of 2,000 cavalry, divided into two guards and 1,000 cavalry. One of them was divided into two parts, the left and right, and each of them received five hundred horsemen.
It can be said that Pang De is the senior cavalry general of the Flying Tiger Army.
Ma Chao was also on his back, he was seriously injured by Na Lu Bu during the Battle of Jiexiu before, and then he missed the Battle of Taiyuan.
And Pang De and Ma Dai's boys won great merit because they infiltrated Taiyuan for internal response, and then Pang De was transferred to the Flying Tiger Army as the left wing general of the right guard.
At this time, Ma Chao was still subordinate to the Heng General System as a team general, and this time he was with the Flying Tiger Army because he wanted to pass on the king's order to Xu Huang.
But don't look at Ma Chao at this time, I don't know how many levels lower than Pound, but this time I met Pound, he was unceremonious, and said directly:
"Ling Ming, you take the department and hurry up with me, there are big fish."
The reason why Ma Chao is big is because of his temperament, on the other hand, he thinks that Pang De is his father's old department, and now that his father is not in the army, this master-slave relationship is naturally inherited by himself.
Pang De kept a calm face and did not speak, but followed behind Ma Chao with his own soldiers and hundreds of horsemen.
Seeing that there were hundreds of horsemen to help, Ma Chao screamed, and came back with the sudden horse.
Captain Changshui, the Han family has two thousand stones, where will he let it go?
And looking at Ma Chao who was rushing in front, one of the generals next to Pound pouted and said dissatisfiedly to Pound:
"General, that Ma Chao is just a team of generals, how dare you take it in front of you? He wouldn't think we were his horse's private army, would he? ”
Pound glared at the man and scolded:
"Are you going to kill the Ma father and son? What can be said in these words? ”
Nash froze, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.
In fact, this is also Ma Chao's own business, different from his father's sleek and honest, this Ma Chao is really too strong, and he doesn't know how many people he offended in the army.
Nash General just reflected the true state of Ma Chao among the generals, but he didn't think about harming him.
After Pang De reprimanded his subordinates, he glanced at Ma Chao worriedly, and sighed in his heart:
"This Meng Qi is too arrogant, and now he is humble, that is, he is eager to seek merit. But if he ascends to a high position in the future, he will not be satisfied, and I am afraid that disaster will really come when the time comes. ”
Naturally, he can't talk to others, let alone Ma Chao, he already plans to talk to his old boss when he returns to Yecheng after the war.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for his old boss to take care of his old age in Yecheng in the future.
In the middle of his thoughts, Ma Chao had already led them to kill in front of the first army.
Pang De tightened his mind, put down his visor, his body collapsed, and the horse rushed to Ma Chao's side.
……
Ma Chao took Pang De's hundred horsemen to kill again, this time he did not choose to charge directly, but continued to gallop around the Knights of Wufu's Long Water.
In the flying dust, Ma Chao lifted his armor and shouted loudly:
"Who is Captain Changshui, who dares to fight me?"
But no one on the other side replied, and Ma Chao was no exception to this, and under normal circumstances, direct battles between riders were very rare.
During the gallop, Ma Chao bent down to pick up the head of the enemy general tied around the horse's neck, and threw it into the middle of the Changshui Knights with his hair in a bun.
The head slammed into a knight's collar, bounced off, and rolled off the ground, causing a flurry among the nearby horses.
Ma Chao laughed and took the big flag handed over by Hu Qi, which said that it was the word "Jinhu". This was given by the king himself after he captured the king of Goryeo in Liaodong.
At this moment, the banner is waving, and Ma Chao has been leading the cavalry to ride the horse, but he just doesn't fight.
This made the Changshui knights on the periphery hesitate for a while, and they all looked at the middle of the military formation, not knowing whether to fight or go.
In fact, at this time, Woolfu was also hesitating.
At this time, because the Changshui Knights were just about to transfer, they had been stationed on horses before, in other words, when Ma Chao led more than a hundred horsemen to rush over, they didn't even run their horses.
In this state, colliding with those Taishan army knights will inevitably suffer a big loss.
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Fu ordered to move eastward, where the flat ground was more open and there was enough space to maneuver, and at the same time, there were more subordinates over there, and they could also respond in time.
So, to the sound of the trumpeters and standard-bearers of the Woods, more than 300 horsemen of the Knights of the Long Water moved to the east.
Wu Fu's idea was good, but he ignored one point, that is, he clearly had the advantage in troops, and in the face of the enemy's provocation, the main general actually asked them to run east.
It can be seen from this how much the morale of the Changshui knights on the periphery has fallen.
To the sound of drums and horns, they turned eastward, while the sound of the horse's hooves of the enemy behind them was getting closer.
Sometimes it's strange that people often scare themselves. Especially when you hear footsteps approaching from behind, people will always fall into an inexplicable panic.
This is the same as walking at night, at first there is nothing to do, but as long as you think about whether there is any movement behind, a kind of fear will first arise in your heart, and at this time, if there is really a movement in the back, people will subconsciously start running.
And now, these Knights of the Long Water are the same.
Obviously, Wufu's order was to move to the east, but as they moved, the water knights began to move quickly, almost fleeing.
Ma Chao, who was hurrying behind them, was overjoyed when he saw this scene, he put the flag behind him without saying a word, and then let out a loud roar, and the horse lance was inserted into the formation of the Changshui Knights from the inclined plane.
Needless to say, Pound also grabbed the lance with one arm and rushed in closely following the big flag.
As a result, more than 100 Taishan troops suddenly launched a general attack.
……
Fighting a war is about momentum.
One husband is desperate, and ten thousand people are invincible. Above the military formation, especially the cavalry assault, people's martial arts are actually that thing.
Whose horse is fast, whose lance is long, and whose armor is strong.
And if these conditions are similar on both sides, it depends on who dares to fight first.
If you dare to face someone's neck bucket, the other side is still hesitant and doesn't know what to do, then life and death will be divided.
And one thing to say, no matter how bad Ma Chao's private morality or temperament is, there is one thing that no one can refute, that is, this person is really fierce and desperate enough.
In the eyes of these sudden horsemen, the morale of these people was almost brought to a climax. On the battlefield, it is emotional, there is a Lord who will take the lead and fight hard, and the brothers will naturally spare their lives.
So they flattened their horses, put their feet firmly on the stirrups, and rushed in with a shout of the horses.
Almost instantly, the waist of the Knights of the Long Water was concave and collapsed to both sides at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Of course, there is the credit of Ma Chao taking the lead in the charge, and there is also the reason why the knights of the Han army lost control of their horses.
A war horse is not a dead thing, it has its own consciousness, and it also has the emotion of fear. It's like two cars facing each other, who will turn the steering wheel first? That must be the one who is most afraid of death.
Because the war horses of the Han army were not blindfolded, they were more afraid than those war horses of the Taishan army, so they saw those of the same kind rushing towards them and fled to the rear.
As a result, the Changshui Knights, who had been in a strict formation, collapsed like this.
The rumbling battlefield was full of screams, wails and curses.
Ma Chao's horse lance broke again, and it was smashing heavily at those Han riders with iron bones.
But the battle situation was not as one-sided as imagined, because the Warriors of the Long Water of Wufu were also professional samurai, and these people also crawled out of the mountain of corpses and blood.
Previously, they would fall behind due to hesitation, and after they would be driven to a dead end, they would start to fight hard.
And with this desperate effort, Ma Chao has become the person who must be killed in their eyes. Is it your horse super jumpy? Why, how brave are you? Can you block the knife? Can you stop so many knives from the brethren?
So, tacitly, the Changshui warriors near Ma Chao leaned over one after another, preparing to besiege and kill this wingman.
The first to attack Ma Chao was a fat samurai, who used a long-handled bronze hammer in his hand and smashed it into Ma Chao's head with a roar.
Ma Chao didn't have a long-handled weapon in his hand to block, so he could only jump off the horse to dodge.
Then he heard the wail of a war horse, and Ma Chao saw that his war horse was broken by the warrior and collapsed to the ground.
Ma Chao landed, jumped next to the fat warrior, and took advantage of the old man's moves, Ma Chao smashed the person's facial bone with one bone.
After that, Ma Chao pulled down a Han rider again, turned over on the horse, and killed him from the encirclement without hesitation.
If the situation is unfavorable, don't run? That's a reckless man.
When Ma Chao bypassed here a little and was about to take a moment to take a look at where the captain of Changshui was, he saw a large crimson color, and a cavalry general came over with dozens of horses.
This rider is none other than Captain Wu Fu of Changshui.
It turned out that he led the team to walk in front just now, and suddenly found that the second half was intercepted by the Taishan army, and he didn't think about bringing people to kill him.
Wu Fu's martial arts are also superb, and the thick horse lance in his hand explodes a person's head every time, and on the way back, there are eight knights of the Taishan Army who died in his hands alone.
At a glance, he saw Ma Chao, who had just roared in front of him, and directly led people to kill him.
And Ma Chao looked over, but he was directly shocked.
He was not shocked by Wu Fu's martial arts, but he saw from a distance that a Knights of the Taishan Army was moving towards this side, and the heavy sound of horses' hooves knocked directly on Ma Chao's heart.
The nightmare of the past is hanging over his heart again, and this is to rob the public army?
I saw Ma Chao shouting violently, and rushed directly to Wufu, and then when Wufu was stunned, he smashed Wufu with a bag, and then grabbed Wufu's belt with one arm, beat the horse and left.
"Let's see who can rob us of this military merit."
