Chapter 189: The Battle of Weak Water (Part II)
This time the horse didn't hit the arrow, and he used his sword to block many arrows flying at him. But his horse was too big, and he was hit by three arrows, and he immediately fell to his death, and before he died, he fell off the horse. Fortunately, the soil next to the weak water was soft, so the horses were not injured. But he was not as lucky as him when he saw hundreds of soldiers, and the huge strength of the war horse directly threw them to death.
Another round of arrow rain came from the Xiliang soldiers, reminding the horse that this battle was not over. Ma Yu avoided a few arrows one after another, quickly pushed a soldier off his horse, snatched a war horse, and ordered his troops to shoot arrows at Xiliang Iron Cavalry to counterattack.
The rain of arrows fell, but only a large clearing was shot. It turned out that because the Xiliang Iron Cavalry shot the front army of the horse play, it delayed the speed of the horse play. And the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not stop, so the arrows of the horse playing with the trilogy did not hurt a single Xiliang soldier.
Ma Yu was furious, and after rectifying the trilogy, he chased after Ma Dai again.
……………………………………………………
Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu heard the dense sound of horses' hooves and arrows, and knew that Ma Yu and Ma Dai were at war, so they immediately led their troops to rush to the weak water.
As soon as Ma Chao approached the weak water, he saw that Ma Yu was leading the tribe, sticking to the weak water, and pursuing Ma Dai's division in front with all his might, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. This is what he calls the role of weak water. Ma Chao expected that Ma Dong would definitely pursue along the weak water, and he could impact Ma Yu from the vertical direction of the weak water. In this way, because it is a side impact from the horse play part, it is difficult for the horse play part to resist his impact; In addition, Ma Yu couldn't resist it, so he could only retreat to the weak water, and Ma Chao could drive the enemy into the river and drown.
Three miles was only a little more than a kilometer, and Ma Chao led 10,000 horsemen to gallop immediately.
Zhang Xiu also killed from the side, and five thousand horsemen quickly killed the horse play army next to the weak water.
When Ma Dai saw that the ambush was exhausted, he immediately ordered his subordinates to turn around and kill back to the horse play army behind.
Surrounded on three sides, the other is surrounded by weak water. The horse was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. At this time, he didn't dare to pursue anymore, and hurriedly ordered his troops to turn around and flee. But it's too late.
When the cavalry playing on the horse was anxiously stopping and turning the direction of the horse, so when it was chaotic, Ma Chao took the lead in leading the troops into the enemy formation, waved his spear, and swept an enemy soldier off his horse and fell to the ground. The Xiliang soldiers who followed closely behind Ma Chao's horse roared angrily or raised their swords to slash horizontally, or stabbed with spears, killing the enemy soldiers in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiu killed from the rear of the Ma Play Army, and the Xiliang soldiers crushed the rear army of the Ma Play Army. The horse play army is busy turning around the war horses, who has time to see the enemy's situation? Many Xiliang soldiers galloped on horseback, swept past the enemy's soldiers and horses, and waved the broken gold knife is a horizontal split, the huge potential energy given by the war horse charge, coupled with the sharpness of the broken gold knife, often cut the cavalry playing with horses to pieces of armor, flesh and blood flying, and then fell off the horse's back weakly.
Ma Play sees that the Chinese army has suffered from the impact of Ma Chao and has been eroded; The rear army was constantly invaded by Zhang Xiu, knowing that this battle would be lost, he quickly took off the armor on his body, and blocked the direction of the front army while Ma Dai had not yet surrounded him, and quickly slipped away from the battlefield while he was in chaos.
Soon, Ma Dai's 10,000 horsemen also rushed up. The sword-wielding Xiliang soldiers moved in unison, galloping past the enemy, stretching out their hands holding the broken golden knife, and giving the enemy passing by a fierce knife, waiting for it to pass by, the enemy soldier had already covered his wounds and fell off his horse weakly, and he began to look for the next target of the knife.
The Xiliang soldiers with spears and spears were different, they often saw an enemy in front of them, immediately rushed forward, first used their spears to open the enemy's weapons, then stabbed violently, and then pulled out, and then galloped away, leaving the enemy soldiers to look at the stabbed wounds, and die of grief; Or just get off the horse with a spear.
After Ma Chao killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers, he saw that the battle situation was already in his hands, and the enemy troops had to retreat to the weak water one after another, and many enemy soldiers were drowned by the wide and turbulent river.
A Xiliang soldier was accidentally besieged by seven enemy soldiers, and was stabbed several wounds in a row, bleeding nonstop, and knew that he would not live long. Suddenly, when he saw an enemy soldier at the edge of the weak water, he jumped up from his horse and threw himself at the enemy. The enemy soldier was directly knocked down by him, and the two fell into the weak water together.
More Xiliang soldiers were organized according to the first army, under the leadership of the army commander, besieging an enemy soldier. The Xiliang soldiers surrounded an enemy regiment, and then advanced five spears at the same time, even if the enemy soldiers could block one spear, they would never be able to avoid the stabbing of the other spears.
Soon, the five thousand horses brought by the horse play were not enough for the Xiliang soldiers to enjoy, half of them were killed by the Xiliang soldiers with skillful skills, and the other half had to retreat into the weak water because they were afraid and squeezed by the Xiliang soldiers, and finally drowned.
When Ma Chao saw that he had won, he shouted: "Those who descend will not be killed!" ”
As soon as they heard Ma Chao's voice, the rest of the Xiliang soldiers also stopped their swords and guns one after another, and preached: "Those who descend will not be killed, and those who descend will not be killed!" ”
The horses had already been killed and had no intention of resisting, and they threw down their weapons one after another.
Ma Chao saw that the surrendered soldiers who survived were only more than 600 horsemen, and the rest were all killed or drowned, and he was quite remorseful. Ma Chao thought to himself that if he had shouted "those who descend will not be killed" earlier, there should be a few more people alive.
But the matter has come to this point, and Ma Chao is no longer worried.
Ma Chao exhaled and said, "Order, tidy up the battlefield, bury the corpses, and collect intact weapons and war horses!" ”
"Whoa!" The Xiliang soldiers immediately dismounted to deal with the battlefield.
Ma Dai came over and said, "Brother, I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't identified the guard of the Cousin City in the soldiers and corpses, so he must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape." ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he turned his head to look in the direction of Biaoshi City and said, "He ran away, and it was no big deal." ”
…………………………………………
However, he said that after Ma Wan took advantage of the chaos to escape, the first time he fled to Cousin City, with the thousand soldiers and horses inside, he could defend for a while and resist Ma Chao. Ma Yu thought, Ma Chao lacked siege equipment, and he used a thousand people to defend the city. As for Ma Chao wanting to attack Huishui City, then let him attack, anyway, he no longer dares to go out of the city at will to stop it. As long as he guards the Biaoshi City, Han Sui will not punish him, and the loss of Huishui City is the fault of the guards of Huishui City.
After making up his mind, Ma Wan soon brought the few dozen remaining remnants to the city of the Cousin Clan.
The horse marched to the city gate and shouted, "Open the door, your general is back." ”
Before he could finish speaking, a line of crossbowmen appeared on the top of the city, and countless arrows were sprinkled with crossbows. The horse was quick and immediately dodged, but his soldiers were shot down by seventy or eighty percent.
Immediately, a banner of "Shenwei General Horse" was erected, and under the banner, a general appeared, which was Yan Xing.
