Chapter Eighty-Eight: General Shenwei Tian

Xirong is a migratory steppe people, with a strong predatory nature, their footprints can be seen all over the grasslands of more than 3,000 miles in the north, as far as glacial lakes in the north and deserts in the west.

During the heavy snowfall season, they not only plundered the countries that connected the borders, but also plundered other weak tribes on the grasslands, killing men and children, and robbing women of fertility value.

The bitter cold environment has created their predatory nature, and they have no mercy for women, children and the elderly.

It had been seventeen years since they had entered the Yan Kingdom last time, and this time, they had set foot on this land again in place of their fathers.

On the morning of April 20, Yunyu County, with pillars of smoke rising on all sides, the Xirong cavalry that had entered the boundary turned into several torrents from north to south, combing the land, but for the city, they directly chose to bypass.

Then, they slaughtered the undefended villages and towns, set fire to and plundered, and drove the people inside into the wilderness, chasing and slaughtering. The soldiers and horses that attracted Rongzhou, if the number was small, they hunted up, divided them from all directions, and then launched a charge, scattered the small groups of soldiers and horses one by one, collapsed and fled in the field, and then chased them up from behind, enjoying the pleasure of chasing the prey.

At the time of the fireworks alarm, Le Jin stood at the head of Changchuan County, watching a Xirong cavalry chase and kill, Li Dian took thirty horsemen, plus three thousand foot soldiers to answer the chased people and hide in the city.

In the face of the gun array, these Xijon cavalry stopped their pursuit and turned south to leave, which was also a cavalry tactic evolved from their habitual survival strategy. Once a large group of soldiers and horses in the city come out to intercept it, it will tacitly turn into several shares, disperse, and continue to spread around, wantonly burning and killing the surrounding villages and towns, and continue to spread south.

The day before April 20, the news of the entry of the Xirong people had reached Ding'an City, and Xun Yu, who received the news, called Guo Jia and immediately sent the news to the military camp.

Later, almost all the officials in the city were sent to withdraw all the craftsmen in the workshops in the western suburbs to the city, and Guo Jia took the map and asked someone to invite Chen Luoping, the county governor, to mark several water sources on the map.

"Intercept the source, turn the living water into stagnant water, buy a batch of pigs and sheep, kill them and throw them into the water."

Chen Luoping is no longer what it used to be, from a local gang, he has become the county lieutenant of Ding'an City, and the gang of minions in his hands have also become county soldiers.

He knew that the person in front of him and the one inside were both relied on by the general, and even if he had doubts in his heart, he would not question it, but reminded in a low voice: "Guo sacrificial wine, this is not for the Xirong people to see, they will definitely not drink ......"

"Just let them see it." Guo Jia asked him to come closer, and whispered in his ear: "Evacuate the people from the nearby villages and poison the well." Dig a new well for them later! ”

"Hmm!"

Chen Luoping nodded, immediately took his iron rod and turned to leave, and when he left the yamen, he muttered in a low voice: "It's really poisonous......"

On the other side, the news spread to the southeast and state military camp, it was Gao Shun who received the news, glanced at the note that recorded the news, he asked the eight hundred soldiers trained to continue, dragged the cloak and turned around and walked to the Chinese army camp, at this time most of the camp was empty, 10,000 and the state army, was taken away by Zhang Liao 8,000, the deputy general Niu Gai and Xu Qinghu went to conquer the Gulang County in the south, and the right was to train the troops.

And Lu Bu was taking three thousand horses outside to practice the endurance of long-distance running and the skills of how to save physical strength on horseback. Riding and archery and controlling horses are also taught together in the run.

These are all things he learned from the Xianbei invasion of the south.

Before coming to the big tent, surrounded by resting Lingqi, they generally do not participate in training, most of them are on standby around the tent, Gao Shun came with a few personal guards, and they got up and stood still.

"Quickly inform General Lu, bring him the news, and tell him that he doesn't have to come back, just kill him!"

Gao Shun handed the news in his hand to a commander, who ordered him to turn over his horse and gallop out of the gate, heading straight for the place where General Lu often trained cavalry.

Watching Ling Qi leave, Gao Shun returned to the tent, looked at the long case in the tent, and the two tokens on the table, he went straight over and picked up one, which was left by Zhang Liao before he conquered Gu Lang.

If you give it to him, you will definitely be able to use it. He is all foot soldiers, and he can't help, so ...... The token in Gao Shun's hand was thrown to the ground.

……

The fast horse galloped for twenty miles, and at the foot of the southeast mountain, the figure of the beast-faced head swallowing chain armor rode a big red horse, condescendingly watching the three thousand cavalry divided into five groups running back and forth on the gentle slope.

This is his own set of training methods, in the merger of the state back then, there were many mountain roads and steep slopes, and the elite cavalry that followed him was trained in that environment.

When the commander came, it was already noon, and the horses were resting, and they saw the fast horses galloping to the foot of the mountain, and the herald jumped on horseback and ran up on foot.

"Wait for you to see? If this makes the rider control the horse uphill, the momentum will not decrease, and it can save more than ten interest. In the middle of the words, the Lingqi had already come over and presented the news to Lu Bu, he glanced at it, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, and he said, "Xirong?" ”

He threw the note to the ground again, turned his head, and looked at the resting soldier over there.

With the stroke of his cloak, his voice resounded: "Get on the horse!" ”

The figures that were originally sitting on the ground instinctively got up from the ground, rushed to the horses next to them, turned over, and there was a loud and tidy sound.

Lu Bu walked towards the red horse, turned over, pulled up the painting halberd on the ground, brought up a piece of mud, and his silent eyes contained the killing intent of burying thousands of corpses.

"Follow me, your spears and steel knives, it's time to get bloody!"

In the next second, the voice shouted: "Go!" ”

Wow!

The crimson war horse stood up in place, and the moment the Xichuan red brocade robe unfolded in the wind, the horse's hooves fell, and he galloped out, and the figure on the horseback said in a high-pitched voice: "Let those barbarian cavalry on the grassland see, what is a wolf ride!" ”

The mighty 3,000 cavalrymen, carrying their guns and pulling the reins, and countless horses' hooves made a dull sound of roaring, rushed down the gentle slope, and then, surging on the plain like a sea tide, densely chased the armored and halberded figure in front of them to the north.

……

Time goes back to square one.

The Xirong cavalry from the north divided into several units and entered the Ding'an territory, galloping between several official roads.

The business travelers who came and went here had already received a notice yesterday and left this place overnight in a panic, and the people in the nearby villages also fled to the city with their families under the compulsion of the county soldiers and government officials, or hid in the mountains.

Evil Cheya, who had fought a few battles in Yunyu County, with a thousand Xirong cavalry, stopped at a village at the foot of the mountain, and looked at the empty houses with some discomfort.

But these are also expected by him, this way south to burn and kill, it is impossible for the people here not to know.

"But so what!"

He filled his warriors with water bags, remounted their horses, and continued to advance southward, as in the previous tactics, sweeping the villages along the way, driving away the Yan people, and often there were always people who were reluctant to give up their homes and fields to be forced out, running in fear and crying on the field.

The hideous and laughing Xirong cavalry hung far behind, and some fierce cavalry rode up and shot a few people who fell behind, causing the fleeing team to cry even more miserably and loudly.

Burning black smoke rose over the field, and the windswept slanted across the sky.

On the road and in the fields, you can occasionally see corpses lying in pools of blood, there is still a scorched smell wafting in the wind, the figure on horseback tilts up his face slightly, the sun shines on his face, as handsome as jade, the white helmet of the lion swayes, and a huge iron spear in his hand hangs obliquely on the ground.

Far and near, panicked and miserable cries came.

He rode his horse and turned around, and the crowd was rushing towards this side of the road, and the old man was trembling and trembling by his relatives, and accidentally fell to the ground, and his wife was pulling hard; The man holding the child is hiding in the crowd, and the child on his shoulder is crying and looking behind in horror; There were also panicked young men who stumbled out of the crowd and ran into the wilderness, followed by light horsemen running up, and with their bows they shot an arrow at the man's back.

Seeing the figure fall, the cavalryman in a leather jacket laughed at his companions behind, and the next second, there was a whistling sound in the air, and the laughing Xijon man flew out of his horse in an instant, and when he landed on the ground, a feathered arrow in his chest was more than half of his chest.

The laughter of the surrounding Xijon people came to an abrupt end.

Evil Cheya rode out two steps, and in his eyes, a figure riding a black horse and wearing silver armor drove backwards through the fleeing crowd with a gun towards them.

All the way south, it is not that there are no powerful generals, usually they do not fight head-on with each other and the other party's soldiers, however, at the moment, there is only one person on the other side, and they also shoot arrows to provoke them.

Evil Cheya grinned and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and slowly raised a hand.

Several horses suddenly rushed out of his side, all of them were warriors in the tribe who were one block ten, and they were also extremely fierce on the way south, facing a Yan general, they excitedly raised their scimitars, or raised their spears.

I don't know if the person on the other side is stupid, but he hasn't even urged the war horse, but he is walking slowly.

"Phew!"

The seven horsemen let out a fierce shout, and immediately accelerated their speed and rushed towards the other party, and the blades and spears were handed out one after another.

The white helmet was caressed, the face under the lion's helmet was raised, and the moment his eyes were condensed, he suddenly grabbed the spear that was stabbed, and threw the thick spear in his hand with the other hand, and directly flew out the Xirong cavalry nail who was wielding the knife in front, pulled his left arm, and snatched the spear he caught, and turned the spear handle with his backhand, and the spearhead roared, directly breaking the head of the staggered Xijon man.

The spear flew out again, poking the third Xijon man who rushed on horseback The moment he flew away, the white-robed and silver-armored figure slammed his feet into the belly of the horse, and the war horse galloped up wildly, facing the fourth person, the long sword at his waist was unsheathed, and the sword light drew a bloody line from the opponent's waist, and almost at the same time, he reached out his right hand and pulled out the big gun inserted in the chest of the second Xirong.

In an instant, throwing guns, grabbing guns, and drawing swords were all in one go.

The figure of a single horse, a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, galloped on a horse, directly passing through the remaining three Xirong cavalry, the moment the horses were wrong, the big gun seemed to be dancing like a dragon and snake, and the sword light was everywhere.

Blood, flesh, and leather jackets were torn and splashed

In just one breath, the moment the war horse rushed out of the three of them, the three figures fell directly from the horse's back dragging the blood line.

"Wait for the barbarians—"

The horse's hooves of the frantically stepped up layers of dirt, and the black horses rushed towards more Xijon cavalry at a gallop, and the sound resounded from the figure of a spear in one hand and a sword in the other.

"-You can recognize Xiliang Jinma Chao!"

Ahead, the evil car teeth in front of the 1,000 Xirong cavalry couldn't stop beating a spirit, his eyes showed panic, and he brandished his scimitar to let the warriors behind him kill him.

Under the sky, the lion's helmet and whiskers fluttered, one man and one horse, dragging a long period of dust and smoke, towards the thousand cavalry who came to the impact, and directly met it.

- General Kamui Heaven!

On the road, the fleeing crowd turned around, and in the skylight, a single-handed figure penetrated the Xirong cavalry ferociously.

The sound of bones and bones breaking and flesh tearing was wildly loud.
