Chapter 44: Under the Castle of Gaoping

Forests, farmlands, streams, and the sky, like a rising tide, are pouring out of the sky.

This is the tide of cavalry, the sea of horses.

The silver helmet and brown leather armor covered the sky and rolled up the surging waves.

Horses, spears, and swords are illuminated by the sun, like sparkling waves, which make people dare not look directly.

The flag hunts and flies, like a competing sail, fluttering in the wind over the sea.

The neighing of war horses, the whimpering of horns, the roar of rage, and the thunderous war drums soared into the sky like a mountain and a tsunami.

The Hun cavalry, who had been ordered to come to stop them, turned pale and trembled.

The eyes are straight.

It's not that he hasn't seen thousands of cavalry, but it's the first time that the momentum is so majestic and the formation is so tight.

Their hundreds of men and horses were like a flat boat in the angry sea, tossed by the raging waves, and they were about to overturn completely.

"Shoot ...... Archery! As if grasping a life-saving straw, the university shouted nervously.

The shepherds woke up from a dream, drew their horned bows, took a rough look, and hurled them forward.

"Buzz!" The arrows fell, like stones sinking into the sea, without any reaction.

The cavalry of the Jin army still rushed over.

"Shoot again!" The ministry was the first to release an arrow.

"Buzz!" Another rain of arrows, this time scattered a few people on the opposite side.

The sound of horses' hooves is loud, and the waves are close at hand.

There was no time to cast the third wave of arrows, and the short and fierce white-knuckle battle immediately began.

The big saber slashed at the neck of a Jin cavalryman, but it didn't prevent a spear stabbed from the side, and the pain was so painful that the facial features were tangled together.

Before he died, he grabbed a Jin cavalryman and fell off his horse together.

A large group of horsemen marched by, trampling them into a pulp, and dashing the hundreds of rangers who stood in their way.

The rangers were crushed and scattered.

No one pursued them.

The brigade slowed down slightly, continued to move forward, and advanced towards Gaoping.

After they retreated, the rangers retracted a little and returned to the battlefield.

They found the butcher, whose chest had been sunken by his trampling, and with trepidation, they took out a bundle of felt blankets, wrapped the corpse, and roared away.

Not long after leaving, the second batch of more than 1,000 Jin cavalry arrived with more than 4,000 horses.

After a hurried glance at the battlefield, he didn't have any intention of stopping, and chased forward.

In the evening, the third group of more than 1,000 horsemen and more than 5,000 horses chased after them unhurriedly, but they still did not stay, and they chased them until night, and then arrived at the temporary camp.

They arrived just in time, and thousands of Huns rode through the wilderness, trying to harass and seize their horses.

The cavalry in the camp left a few people to watch the horses, and divided 700 horsemen to chase the Huns and fight.

The Xiongnu did not dare to fight in close combat, but repeatedly circled around, constantly firing arrows, and from time to time there were Jin cavalry screaming and falling off their horses.

Some of them tried to disperse the horses, but the men who stayed behind to watch the horses shot back with their bows, and the two sides were at a stalemate, repeatedly looking for flaws in each other.

Eventually, when the third group of Jin cavalry arrived, the Xiongnu finally dispersed and gave up the attack.

The second group of cavalry, not caring for their wounds, immediately went forward with well-rested horses and pursued the first group.

A third group took over the camp.

The vigilance of the vigilance, the cooking of the cooking, the feeding of the horses, the feeding of the horses, are very busy.

That's what a long-distance run looks like.

The assault infantry is okay, and it is safe to boldly spend the night in the field.

But if you deal with the Huns with a large number of cavalry, the danger suddenly increases a lot.

They are no weaker than you, and they are good at fighting, sneak attacks, and harassment, and if they are not careful, they will burrow behind you, attack your troops who are camping and resting, and interrupt your wave of advance.

Obviously, Jin Zhun of Gaoping had received the news of Zhang Yue's defeat. Prior to this, he had already known about the destruction of the Tobuyang pontoon bridge, so a large number of messengers and rangers were scattered outward.

The Hun cavalry, scattered and plundered, slowly retreated.

In the wilderness, there were scattered Hun cavalry everywhere, less than 100 horsemen, more than 1,000 horsemen.

They often encounter the Jin army in the rush, and the encounters break out every moment.

It was also at this moment that the sons and daughters profoundly realized what a decisive decision it was to immediately order to go straight to Gaoping.

Give the Huns a few days, and the infantry cavalry on hand can quickly swell to twenty or thirty thousand.

The fighter plane is only fleeting, fleeting.

******

On the ninth night of the first month of October, the moonlight sprinkled on the bank of Jishui, bright and bright.

On the bank of the river, the horse affectionately leaned his head over and rubbed against his master.

The sound of chewing dry food was everywhere, and there were even people lying on the ground snoring.

Most of the people who can fall asleep in this situation are Liangzhou martial artists, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of hard and dangerous life.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard faintly on the ground.

Every now and then, a group of people withdrew to the camp and bandaged their wounds.

Seeing that their spirits were not bad, they bared their teeth and laughed loudly, mercilessly mocking the Hun cavalry they encountered, although every time they went out, there would be a few fewer people when they returned.

There are also people sharpening their swords.

Although they used long-pole horse weapons on a daily basis—some even used long-pole heavy horse weapons such as a horse lance—they also had a bow and two short soldiers stuck in their saddle sheaths, which were their secondary weapons and needed to be maintained at all times.

What's more, after running for so long, many people's horse lances have been abandoned on the battlefield, and now they can only use horned bows and short soldiers.

Finally, there is a group of people trimming the horses' hooves and feeding them.

Anyway, what to do.

Suddenly, a dark cloud drifted in, obscuring the bright moonlight, and the earth suddenly darkened.

Another group of cavalry retreated, about a hundred people, many of them wounded, and even with feathered arrows stuck in their backs.

"Fortunately, I set off early, and there are more and more thieves, and every time I walk, I can meet a group of rangers." The returnee shouted.

As they spoke, they seized the time to loosen the belly belts of the horses, took the steaming war horses to jog along the river to collect sweat, and then fed some soybean meal and bran mixed with salt water.

It doesn't matter if you're tired or hungry, but the horses must be well served.

"Whoa!" A fish leaps high from the water, spins and falls.

Shao Xun, who was inspecting the camp, saw it and immediately laughed: "This is a good omen." This attack on Gaoping will definitely lead to a big victory. ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.

It's not that they understand those Shinto things, but they have faith in Shao Xun.

With Chen Gong has fought so many battles, won many battles, and all kinds of wonderful tactics emerge in an endless stream, whatever he says is what, he is right, this has gradually become an ideological steel seal.

"As for Gaoping, if there is a Hun brigade to stop it, the beggar army will be the vanguard, and the cavalry army will follow." Shao Xun said to the generals who followed him.

"After the cavalry opened the gap, the sons and daughters rushed up, don't hesitate at all, just rush."

"In this battle, I am invincible, and I will not leave a piece of armor to kill him."

"No." The generals responded with a bang.

Half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the ground in the distance.

Soon, Qiao Hong rode his horse and reported: "Ming Gong, I encountered thieves harassing me on the road, losing some manpower and losing more than 1,000 horses. ”

"It doesn't matter." Shao Xun comforted.

Since his departure, he has lost no less than 2,000 horses due to enemy attacks, and he has long been accustomed to it.

"The camp is up to you." Shao Xun looked at Qiao Hong and said, "You bring someone to catch up after dawn." ”

"No."

Shao Xun then asked the generals to select their troops, and left some extremely tired men and horses in the camp to rest, and took them away in relatively good condition.

After a while, the more than 2,000 horsemen who had completed the reorganization were arrayed.

"Let's go!" Shao Xun clamped the horse's belly and left first.

Cai Cheng, Liu Ling, Yuan Xi and other generals followed closely with more than 300 personal soldiers.

More than 2,000 horses mixed from various armies ran in small steps.

The army soon disappeared into the wilderness of Gaoping.

******

It was already noon on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and Jin Zhun, who had eaten lunch, climbed to the top of the city and hesitated.

About 9,000 infantry had been gathered in the city.

Among them, 5,000 were brought by him, and the other 4,000 were Ding Zhuang who was conscripted and enlisted in Dongping, Gaoping, and Rencheng.

The cavalry successively gathered more than 5,000 people, in fact, most of them were nearby, and more than 1,000 were withdrawn from Jiyin and Peiguo.

As for the group that ran the farthest, it seemed that they were active in the area of Chen County, Liang State, and even Qian State, but they had not had time to catch up.

With such a few soldiers, it seems that they can fight, but it doesn't seem to be enough, Jin Zhun is very entangled.

He had already received the news that Shao Xun had broken Zhang Yue under Jiyin City, and the entire army of 5,000 people had been wiped out - this was still notified by Shi Le, and he also attached a suggestion to retreat to Qingzhou to eat.

Shi Lelai made such a hand, and Jin Zhun immediately understood.

The impact of the cut off of the grain route was so far-reaching that the morale of the army was completely shaken.

But Shi Le can withdraw, he can't withdraw for the time being, and he still needs to wait for news from Liu Ya, Hu Yanyan, Zhao Gu, Cao Wei and others.

The thief came too quickly and didn't give him time to react at all.

From Jiyin to Gaoping, breaking through many obstacles, it is not ten miles away from here now, right?

At this time, there is no way to withdraw, so you can only fight first.

There were already cavalry arrays outside the city.

They led their horses, sat on the ground, and waited quietly for the great battle to come.

Jin Zhun sat at the head of the city, like an outsider, silently examining the battle.

At the beginning of the hour, smoke and dust rose from the west, and the sound of hooves was like thunder.

Jin Zhun cheered up and looked into the distance.

The cavalry from the west dismounted far away.

Some of them began to gather their surplus horses and quickly retreated.

Others seized the time to rest and prepare for the next big battle.

Jin Zhun subconsciously clenched his fists, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Jin Ming was good at fighting, he did not give the enemy a chance to rest, and ordered the cavalry to mount their horses on the spot and rush in the direction of the enemy's station.

The Jin army noticed the movement here and immediately responded.

In the wilderness, a flag was drawn to the left, followed by hundreds of horsemen.

A flag was led to the right, and hundreds of horsemen followed.

Directly ahead, three hundred light horsemen had already rushed forward.

Behind the light cavalry, about a thousand cavalry were running in small steps.

Behind these more than 1,000 people, it seems that there are still 1,000 people - the smoke and dust are too big......

Jin Ming's eyes widened, trying to get a clear look.

The three hundred light cavalry that acted as the vanguard rang out in succession, and began to fire at their own cavalry.

At first glance, it's a Wuhuan person, probably from the beggar army.

Jin Ming took a sip, Wuhuan wild dog, whoever gives him food will follow whomever he wants.

However, the fighting skills of the wild dogs are still very good.

In the continuous ringing of the bowstring, people on both sides fell off their horses, and the casualties were not light.

Xu couldn't bear the casualties, and the Wuhuan people quickly dispersed to both sides, pulling the formation of the Hun cavalry a little scattered.

At this moment, in the smoke and dust, hundreds of cavalry rushed out.

Jin Ming got up suddenly.

This cavalry numbered about three hundred, and its armor was bright and mighty.

Under the iron helmet, the silver curtain covered the face, revealing only two tricks.

The body is thick armor, which looks stronger and heavier than that of the infantry.

Horses also have curtains, which are extremely hideous.

The horse has a chicken neck on its neck, its body is covered with body armor, and its hips are covered with a hitch, and even the back of the horsejiri is attached to the saddle to prevent stray arrows from hitting the horsejiri, and even to shield people from stray arrows from behind.

Three hundred horsemen rushed up and shook the earth, the speed was not slow, with the slight confusion caused by the Wuhuan "wild dog" in the front, the horse speed was raised to the extreme, in the frightened eyes of the Hun cavalry, a crash in, like destroying the wood!

Finished! Jin Ming stumbled back a few steps, only to feel dizzy.

This is the Youzhou Raider of the Xiao Cavalry Army!
