- "General, we are all here, do you want to light the fuse?" The soldiers were shocked by this majestic gesture for the first time. It has to be said that the Qiang people's iron chariot soldiers did leave a deep impression on the Chinese army yesterday. I don't dare to let the iron chariot soldiers get close to me. This kind of thing can attack and defend, and it is really difficult to deal with. ¡ÜThey couldn't confront them head-on, but they didn't dare to get close. The blades stuck in the car might scratch some part of their bodies.
"Wait! Wait until the enemy completely enters the ice." Pang De said after visually measuring the Qiang's speed and distance.
After a while, the Qiang people were getting closer and closer, and some archers on the chariot began to pull their big bows and prepare to shoot arrows. At this moment, when Pound saw that the 30,000 Qiang army had completely reached the ice, he ordered: "Light the fuse and retreat back!"
At this time, ten people squatting behind immediately began to light the fuse. After nine of them were lit, they immediately began to retreat. Only one soldier was too nervous and accidentally extinguished the fire. He could not light the fuse. He took out the flint again and desperately started to light the fuse while watching. The soldiers in the iron chariot rushed over and started to light up the fire. As a result, an arrow flew over and hit the head directly. He immediately fell to the ground and died.
Pang De hurriedly retreated to the shore, immediately turned around, held a repeating crossbow and started shooting at the Qiang people who were rushing over. At this moment, the most perfect side appeared, and the entire ice surface exploded with flowers, and there was a muffled sound. A series of explosions exploded on the ice, and the entire ice was shaken by the explosion.
"Boom! Boom! Boom"
Huge explosions kept ringing, and the ice began to shake. After a while, the entire ice began to crack, and the cracks directly extended to the entire ice. The crackling sounds continued to ring in the ears of the Qiang people. The edge sounded. The Qiang people were all frightened. Then, a running chariot fell directly into the ice cave. The Qiang soldiers on the chariot and the animals pulling the chariot all fell into the Daxia River. There were rapids under the ice. The water flow directly washed them all away.
"Herod"
"ah¡¡"
People call horses neighing. The Qiang soldiers who were within the detonation range of the explosives fell into the river one after another. Many Qiang people did not know what happened and did not even react. As soon as they fell into the river, they were washed away by the cold and biting river water. Some hit the ice directly, cracking their heads and killing them immediately.
Che Lixiang was leading the cavalry team to run forward from the flank, and suddenly saw such a scene. Suddenly he was shocked, and finally managed to control the frightened horses. He turned around and saw that the ice in the middle had collapsed, and all his 20,000-strong army sank to the bottom of the water. He couldn't help but panic, and shouted with regret: " My iron chariot soldiersmy iron chariot soldiers"
At this time, Jiang Jiong and others led the crowd and swooped down from the hillside with four other captains, each with a thousand horse infantry. The shouts were loud and the momentum was overwhelming. These Qiang soldiers, who were still immersed in the grief of the iron chariot soldiers sinking into the water, felt frightened when they heard this.
"Commander! The Chinese army has been prepared for a long time. We have suffered heavy losses. Now the Chinese army is attacking in five directions with great momentum. We should quickly avoid its edge. Let's retreat!" A commander Qu saw the current scene. Said very worriedly.
"Whoops!"
Che Lixiang took a golden sword and beheaded the Qu commander with one blow, shouting loudly: "Anyone who dares to retreat will be beheaded immediately. I will rush forward to avenge the dead tribesmen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Che Lixiang immediately rushed towards Jiang Jiong and others with his sword, and the cavalry behind him also followed.
At this time, Pound returned to the gate of Laoya Gate. The five hundred cavalrymen were already ready. He took his sword from the soldier, got on his horse, and rushed towards Che Lixiang with the five hundred cavalrymen.
The Chinese army shared the same enemy. The Qiang people had no iron chariot soldiers and were frightened by the momentum of the Chinese army. After only a moment of fighting, the Qiang people turned their horses and fled. Cheli Xiangli beheaded three fleeing Qiang soldiers, but still controlled Unable to control the situation, the cavalry on the right wing had already fled without a trace.
Cheli Xiang saw Pang De rushing over with eager eyes, but he couldn't resist it. He was about to turn his horse to walk, when suddenly a horn sound came from the direction of Laoyaguan. The sound of the horn was long and deep. It was the charge horn used by Qiang King Cheliji. At the same time, King Qiang's wolf-headed banner also appeared behind Laoya Pass. Countless cavalry rushed over the hillside, and arrows like ants were shot from behind Laoya Pass. The shouts of killing suddenly became louder.
"Hahaha The king's army has arrived. Kill me and move forward bravely. No one will be left behind!" Seeing this, Che Lixiang was immediately excited. When the Qiang soldiers heard the horn sound, they all seemed to be beaten. Like chicken blood, he suddenly became energetic, and the two thousand escaping cavalry on the right wing also retreated and quickly joined the battle.
Pang De was suspicious for a moment, then turned around and saw the old crow.The subordinates inside fled out in panic, and they couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw a large banner with a wolf head embroidered on it, symbolizing the banner of King Xiqiang, inserted in Laoya Pass.
At this time, the soldiers in the city were chased out by the Qiang cavalry. The mountains and plains were full of Qiang cavalry. Although the soldiers in the city resisted with all their strength, they were still no match for the large number of Qiang people. They were forced into the Daxia River by the cavalry and were not killed. , was washed away by the river, and the more than a thousand soldiers turned into corpses in an instant.
The Chinese army was fighting with Che Lixiang and others. The troops were of equal strength. In addition, the Qiang people were all moving forward bravely. It was difficult to resist for a while. Jiang Jiong hurriedly rode to Pang De's side and reported: "Jiang Jiong, Qiang King Che The army led by Li Ji is coming, and our army cannot resist it. We should retreat quickly and return to Jincheng temporarily before making plans. "
"Damn it! How could it be like this? If our army retreats, the general's Daxia City will also be in danger." Pang De said angrily.
"The city of Daxia is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although there are many Qiang people, the general has enough food and gunpowder to resist the Qiang army. We should withdraw from the battle immediately to reduce the number of Qiang people. If there are unnecessary casualties, go back to Jincheng to reorganize your troops and then fight again!" Jiang Ji suggested.
Pang De looked around the battlefield and saw that the Qiang cavalry was working hard to get closer to this side. If they didn't leave, they would be surrounded. He immediately ordered: "The whole army is called, retreat!"
After giving the order, the voice spread out like a train. The Chinese army immediately fled to the northwest. Pang De took the lead and rushed to the front, cutting a bloody path through the numerous Qiang people. Jiang Jiong and other more than 5,000 horse infantry all followed Pang De and retreated.
Che Lixiang led his men in pursuit and harvested more than 300 heads of the Chinese army along the way. In the end, they encountered the bloody battle of the Chinese army after the defeat, and gradually lost the opportunity to pursue Pang De, so they retreated back to Laoyaguan.
When Che Lixiang returned to Lao Ya Pass, Che Li Ji had already led the Guards team waiting at the gate of Lao Ya Pass, with a gloomy look on his face.
"My King, you came just in time. If you had come a little later, I'm afraid I would have lost this battle." Che Lixiang held several heads in his hand and threw them directly on the ground. He turned over and dismounted, came to Cheriji's side, and said happily.
Cheriji glanced at Cherixiang with a sharp look, his face was gloomy, and there was a kind of anger in his eyes. He directly said sharply to Cherixiang: "Kneel down!"
Cheriji was stunned for a moment, standing there looking at Cheriji in confusion before he had time to ask questions. The warriors around Cheriji forcibly pushed Cheriji to the ground.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Che Lixiang asked in confusion.
"What are you doing? I handed over all the iron chariot soldiers to your leadership. How did you lead them? You actually let the iron chariot soldiers be wiped out. The iron chariot soldiers were trained by me after several years of hard work. I thought this time Use it as a surprise weapon on the Chinese army, but what did you do? Come here, behead Che Lixiang and hang his head on my wolf head as a punishment. "Che Liji looked at Che Liji fiercely. Rixiang, his heart is bleeding, even if he kills Rixiang a thousand times, it is not an exaggeration!
When Cherixiang saw that Cheriji was serious, he immediately begged for mercy: "Brother, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. Winning or losing is a common thing for military officers. Without the chariot soldiers, we can still practice. But you are the only younger brother. If I die, you will have no relatives left"
"Shut up! As the king of the Western Qiang, the herdsmen of all the tribes of the Western Qiang are all my brothers and my relatives. You have committed a heinous crime. Before you formally used troops against the Chinese army, you first destroyed my elite troops. Master, what's the point of keeping you? Come here, pull Cheriji down and behead him in public." Cheriji's sinister eyes didn't even blink. Although his voice was not loud, it gave people a loud voice. deterrence.
As soon as the voice fell, the warrior immediately drew out his scimitar, and before Cherixiang begged for mercy again, he beheaded Cherixiang on the spot. A head fell, and a lot of hot blood sprayed out from the cavity, splattering all over the floor, and killing Cheriji at his feet. It was dyed a bloody red.
Cheriji stood there with a calm face. From beginning to end, he never blinked his eyelids. He looked around at the Qushuai from other tribes and saw a trace of fear on their faces. Said: "Hang Che Lixiang's head on my king's wolf-headed banner. Anyone who doesn't fight with all his heart in the future will be killed without mercy!"
The Qushuai of the other tribes were silent for a while. Cheliji made them feel the difference from the original Qiang kings of all tribes. This man was insidious, vicious, and full of courage.
Mi Dang, Hung He, Shao Ge, Fa Tong, Mo Zhe Zhao and Zhi Wu Dai were the marshals of the six tribes respectively. Even when they saw it, they were frightened and felt sorry for Che Lixiang. Although Cherixiang is a bit arrogant, he is not without merit, at least TieSoldiers were the first thing he thought of, and they were trained by him. It was precisely because of the existence of the iron chariot soldiers that Che Lixiang became the seventh commander-in-chief, and Che Lixiang's death was also due to the demise of the iron chariot soldiers. It really echoed the words of the Han people, Cheng Ye Xiao He Defeat Xiao He.
After Cheliji unified the various tribes of the Qiang tribe, he clearly stipulated that the Qiang tribe had only one king. Under the king, the positions of Marshal, Qushuai, Xiaoshuai, General, Colonel, and Lieutenant were established to lead each tribe respectively, gradually transitioning to the feudal society of the Han people. . As for the extent of Cheridge's own martial arts, it is still a mystery. More than ten years ago, Mi Dang, the first warrior of the Xiqiang who was of noble birth, competed with Cheliji for the position of Qiang King. However, he was vulnerable to Cheliji and was captured alive by Cheliji in just one round.
The Qiang people advocate force. After Dangmi Dang was defeated by Cheliji, the other tribal elders of Zhongcun Qiang believed that Cheliji's blood was not pure enough and refused to recognize Cheliji as king. As a result, they were all killed by Cheliji on the spot and made a serious statement that from then on From now on, he Cheliji will be the Qiang king of Zhong Cunqiang. Others could not stop him, so they had no choice but to let Cherijirong become the Qiang King.
After Cheliji succeeded Zhong Cunqiang as the Qiang King, he began a ten-year period of recuperation, refusing to participate in all battles, claiming that peace was the main thing, and he would not offend others unless others attacked him. He also spent a lot of money to study in the Central Plains. Learn how the Han people govern their country. Zhong Cunqiang's people originally thought that Cheriji was timid and fearful, but it was not until later that they gradually understood that his series of recuperation plans had indeed brought a lot of benefits to Zhong Cunqiang.
In 184 AD, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and the Central Plains was in chaos. Later, Beigong Boyu entangled the Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou to rebel against the Han Dynasty. At that time, he also contacted Zhong Cunqiang, but was rejected by Cheliji. Since then, for more than ten years, wars have continued in Liangzhou. The remaining Qiang people surrendered and returned to the throne, becoming enemies of the Han Dynasty. However, Zhong Cunqiang has been professing vassalage to the Han Dynasty and asked for annexation. And refused to participate in all fights between Qiang people.
Not participating does not mean that Zhong Cunqiang does not have the strength. Once again, the Qiang came to deliberately seek trouble, but were defeated by Cheriji's troops. From then on, no one dared to attack Zhong Cunqiang, which allowed Zhong Cunqiang to slowly accumulate strength. . Moreover, the various Qiang tribes continued to fight among themselves, and many Qiang people who did not want to suffer the pain of war fled into the more stable territory of Zhongcun Qiang. Not only are they well protected, but they can also eat and drink without worries. It has become a paradise among the Qiang people.
Until five years ago, Cao Cao incited the Qiang people to rebel, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Qiang people of all tribes. Then Xu Shu personally went to Zhong Cunqiang to win over Zhong Cunqiang to support the restored Wei state. Many benefits were promised, but in the end Cheriji only made one condition. Just to help him become the king of Xiqiang.
Therefore, the Wei State sent people to persuade the Qiang people of various tribes, and Cheliji sent troops to threaten them. Eventually, all the Qiang tribes were unified under Zhongcun Qiang, and Cheliji became the legitimate king of the Western Qiang. after. In order to disintegrate the various Qiang people, Cheliji agreed to the Wei State's proposal and moved the Qiang people to Guanzhong to serve as local people and cultivate Han people's land.
It has to be said that some of Cheriji's methods have indeed strengthened the Qiang people, and through the threat of force, they have continued to receive a lot of benefits from the Wei State. Money, food, cloth, tea, silk, porcelain, etc. are all subtly changing the Qiang people. human life. It can be said that Cheliji is a Qiang who was semi-Chinese. He used Han methods to inform the entire Xiqiang and achieved the current results.
Mi Dang, Hung He, Shao Ge, Fa Tong, Mo Zhe Zhao and Zhi Wu Dai recalled that they all admired Cheliji very much. In their impression, no Qiang king had ever achieved such a level. Therefore, although Hung He, Shao Ge, F Tong, Mo Zha Zha and Zhi Wudai are not loyal to Cun Qiang, they are still willing to work hard for Cheliji because the Qiang people share the same ancestors and roots and are one family.
"Your Majesty, now that Pound has been defeated and all our elite troops have been lost, do we still want to attack Daxia City?" As the first commander-in-chief, Mi Dang was ranked below one person and above ten thousand people, and his status was second only to Cheriji.
"Daxia has become an isolated city, why not fight? Since we have launched a war against the Chinese army, we must fight thoroughly! However, our goal is not here, but the city of Hebei. If we are hungry, we will burn the enemy!" Cheriji shouted.
"What is your order, Your Majesty?" Hung He and Shao Ge shouted in unison.
"Each of you will lead 30,000 cavalry to the outside of Daxia City, surround me in Daxia City, and attack the front and rear together. Starting from tomorrow, we will officially attack the city, day and night. No matter how much troops are consumed, we must defeat Tai Shici's army. Taking the head and beheading Tai Shici is enough to scare the enemy!" Cheriji said.
Hung He and Shao Ge clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Go!"
At this time, Fa Tong's men walked over from the ice of the Daxia River, took out more than a dozen packets of explosives, came to Fa Tong, and said: "Commander, I found this thing on the ice. It is said that Huaxia The army used this thing to collapse such a thick ice surface.¡±
? ? ? ? ? ? ?He took it and took a look. When he looked closer, he immediately smelled a pungent smell and asked hurriedly: "What is this?"
"have no idea¡¡"
Cheriji squinted over, took a look, then stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it to me and see!"
Fa Tong handed one of the explosive packets to Cheriji. Cheriji studied it for a while and saw nothing. He immediately opened the explosive packet with his knife and frowned when he saw a lot of black powder exposed from inside. , said suspiciously: "Black soil?"
He squatted down, picked up a little bit with his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it. When he felt a pungent smell, he said: "What on earth is this? How did the Huaxia Army use this thing? Who Know?"
A soldier volunteered, then he walked to the ice with a fire stick and a bag of explosives, and started to light the fuse. Then he stood there and heard the fuse squeaking. He pointed to the fuse and said: "Your Majesty, Huaxia This is how the army set them on fire with my own eyes"
Before the Qiang soldier could finish speaking, the fuse had already burned, and then there was an explosion with a loud "boom" sound, which tore the Qiang soldier into pieces and left him bloody and bloody.
After Cherich looked at it. He couldn't help being extremely surprised, and then he laughed evilly and said: "Give this thing to the army craftsmen, ask them what it is made of, and then make some for me, the more the better."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Second order, rest around Laoyaguan tonight. Clean up the battlefield and head towards Jicheng tomorrow. While the Chinese army and Wei army are fighting in Baishi Mountain, our army will sneak attack on Jicheng. As long as we get the food and grass in Jicheng, our army will Even if we don't capture the entire Liangzhou, it's still a victory," Cheriji slapped the gunpowder on his hand and ordered.
¡¡¡¡
Daxia City.
Pang De lost two battles in a row at Pohan City. The number of casualties was close to 5,000, and the news reached the city of Daxia. Taishi Ci felt as if he heard a thunder, which was incredible.
Tai Shici immediately ordered: "The Qiang people are coming with a fierce force. It seems that they should not be underestimated. Send the order, and the whole city of Daxia will actively prepare for war to prevent the Qiang people from attacking."
"No!"
The order here has not been conveyed yet. Another scout came in and hurriedly reported: "General, a large force of Qiang people is rushing towards Daxia City from Laoyaguan. There are many soldiers and horses. There are almost 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry."
"It came so fast. The Qiang people are really smart. After passing the order, I immediately asked people to prepare according to the original plan. First, I gave the Qiang people a show of strength and let the Qiang people know how powerful our Chinese army is."
"No!"
Taishi Ci also hurriedly put on his helmet and armor, boarded the tower of Daxia City in person, and commanded the deployment of defensive measures. He was busy from noon to evening, and finally everything was done, and he just waited for the Qiang people to attack the city.
At dusk, a large number of Qiang people, led by Hung He and Shao Ge, arrived outside Daxia City. However, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they followed Cheliji's instructions and set up camp outside first. After resting for a night, they would wait until tomorrow. They fought, and Shao Ge led half of the cavalry to camp behind Daxia City.
Taishi Ci saw that the Qiang people were not in a hurry to attack the city and were divided into two camps. He expected that the Qiang people wanted to attack from the front and the front, so he hurriedly made corresponding strategic adjustments and waited for the Qiang people to attack the city.
It was a cold and dark morning in the first month, and the sun had not yet come out. In the sky behind the Dongfang Mountain, the thin edges of a few thick clouds were lined with a light red glow. After a while, the mountain peaks turned red. After another pause, the fire-like round wheel slowly revealed its huge golden body, and the red flames illuminated the earth. The red light gradually turned into pure white light, and the day began.
Arrows were drawn inside and outside Daxia City, and the black Qiang soldiers blocked the only two gates in Daxia City. The east and west gates were tightly closed, and there were many crossbowmen on the walls. The banner of the Chinese army fluttered in the wind, ready to attack the Qiang people at any time.
Tai Shici stood on the west gate tower, looking at the Qiang soldiers outside, with a slight smile on his lips, and immediately ordered: "Open the city gate!"
After the order was passed on, the east and west gates were completely opened. Straight streets in the city ran through the east and west gates. Soldiers of the Chinese Army stood on both sides of the street. Shield soldiers were blocking the front line, and spear soldiers were The spear in his hand was placed on the shield, and there were many crossbowmen standing on the eaves on both sides of the street. Thirty thousand troops surrounded the city walls and the main roads in the city, all showing their bravery.
Hungry He is at the west gate and Shao Ge is at the east gate. When the city gate opened, both of them were puzzled. They usually attack the city just to knock on the city gate, but today the Chinese army deliberately opened all the city gates. It was opened, which was beyond their expectations.?It made them feel a little bit weird and couldn't figure out the meaning.
Hung He was riding on horseback, looking far away from the west gate. Through the inner streets of Daxia City, he could vaguely see Shao Ge and others in the east of the city.
"Commander! What do the Chinese troops want to do? It seems a little abnormal" A Qu commander rode his horse to Hungry He's side and reminded him.
Hungry He looked at the Chinese army and said: "The Chinese army created a suspicious formation, thinking that this would scare us away and not dare to attack. They wanted to delay the time and wait for reinforcements. In any case, the Chinese army only has 30,000 soldiers in Daxia City. Ma, our army has 60,000, which is double the number of the Chinese army. How can two of them defeat one? Sound the horn, rush in, and kill all the Chinese soldiers. I want to take off Tai Shici's head. Sit on the stool!¡±
The horn sounded then, and Shao Ge at the east gate always looked at him with hungry eyes. As soon as he heard Hungry He blowing the horn, he also ordered the horn of charge to be blown. The horn sounds on both sides intertwined and sang together, playing beautiful music, which excited the 60,000 Qiang people.
"Charge!" Hung He held a machete and rode his horse to the edge of the road. Swinging the scimitar forward, he shouted loudly.
At the same time, Shao Ge also directed his men to charge forward. The Qiang cavalry all shouted, drew their long bows, attached arrows, and galloped forward on horseback to shoot.
On the city wall of Daxia City, the archers released arrows, while the crossbowmen continued to hide behind the female wall. Never let go of the arrow until the enemy comes within range.
For a moment, arrows were raining down. Taishi Ci personally took his bow and shot five arrows in succession. He shot three times in a row without any miss. Wherever the arrows hit, all the Qiang people fell off their horses.
Three thousand Qiang cavalry rushed over first. Under the strong bows and crossbows, there were many casualties. However, there were still more than two thousand cavalry rushing into the city gate. Who knew that as soon as they entered the city, crossbows were fired from both sides, and the density was even more intense than on the city tower. They shot down rows of cavalry as a last resort. They had no choice but to evacuate the city quickly.
Hung He and Shao Ge couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that the three thousand cavalry they sent could not resist the dense arrows. At this time, Shao Ge temporarily stopped the attack and led a group of cavalry to the west gate. He said to Hungry He: "The enemy's arrow formation is powerful. There are crossbowmen everywhere in the city. Although our army suffered more than a thousand casualties each, But if we attack by force, it will definitely not work. Is there anything you can do?"
Hungry He thought for a while and said: "The only way to use a shield is to use a shield. Now go chop down the trees, then tie the trees into a large raft, set it up, and push it over with people. It can withstand the enemy's arrows and hide soldiers underneath. Then , and make some small wooden shields for the warriors to hold and quickly rush into the city."
"Very good, I'll just go and order my subordinates." After Shao Genuo said something, he immediately returned to the east gate and began to order the Qiang soldiers to go up the mountain and cut down trees.
Tai Shici looked at it from a distance and said with a smile: "It's just as I expected"
Putting down the telescope, Taishi Ci shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Go and prepare the explosives and wait for my general's orders at any time!"
"No!"
Both armies were busy, but in comparison, the Qiang soldiers seemed even busier.
Two hours later, when it was almost noon, Taishi Ci saw that the Qiang people were still busy making rafts, wooden shields and other items, so he ordered his men to start eating in turns.
After noon, the Qiang people had been tired for a long time. They were making rice in pots and resting on the spot. Everyone gathered together in groups. They were exhausted and looked depressed.
After Taishi Ci saw such a scene through the telescope, he chuckled and said, "The opportunity has come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taishi Ci immediately went down from the city tower and personally selected 4,000 cavalry. He took 2,000 cavalry at the west gate and assigned 2,000 cavalry to be led by his own generals. He waited until the Qiang people had finished cooking. , while everyone was eating around the pot, they immediately ordered an attack, brought explosive packs and fire sticks, and began to rush out from the city gate.
Hung He and Shao Ge were not fools. Naturally, they left soldiers to guard the gates of Daxia City. As soon as they saw the Chinese army rushing out, they immediately went to fight with five thousand cavalry.
Taishi Ci and others were not afraid at all. This time, he carefully selected the 4,000 soldiers with the strongest arms. In order to maximize their power and speed, the soldiers this time were all covered with a thin layer of clothing. Leather armor, holding the horse's reins with one hand, and carrying the explosive bag with the other hand, braved the arrows to light the explosive bag in his hand, and then threw it forward forcefully into the Qiang camp.
The Qiang people's arrows were so dense that the two to three hundred cavalrymen who rushed at the front were shot through their bodies before they could throw the explosives out. However, the cavalrymen fought bravely and reluctantly threw the explosive bags out. Some If there is no light, just rush in directlyHe entered the Qiang camp, then lay on his horse, and when he was about to arrive, he lit the explosive pack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom"
Countless huge explosions sounded in the Qiang cavalry team. Many Qiang people were blown to pieces before they could figure out what was going on. The horses under the seats were frightened and began to run around. For a moment, the Qiang camp Suddenly collapsed. At this time, Tai Shici and others from several echelons behind began to slowly rush over. When the Qiang people responsible for resisting fled in all directions, they began to wave their weapons to harvest the heads of the Qiang people at will, killing the Qiang people at the same time. People, while running towards the Qiang camp on the hillside.
The Qiang people went up the mountain to cut down trees, and most of their horses stayed at the bottom of the mountain. There is a saying that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down. The mountain roads were rugged and there were dangerous areas covered with snow. As soon as the Qiang people on the mountain were frightened, they all came down from the mountain immediately and had no time to eat.
But how could their two legs outrun the four-legged horses? The cavalry responsible for resisting the Chinese army failed to play a role. After being dispersed, the Chinese army marched straight in.
Taishi Ci divided out five hundred people to leave explosives on the road down the mountain, while he took the remaining more than a thousand people to drive the Qiang horses and drove them all to Daxia City.
When the Qiang people wanted to go down the mountain, the Chinese military used explosives to block the road. The explosions made the road down the mountain a mess. The Qiang people on the mountain were afraid of the power of the explosives, so they stopped and stopped rushing down the mountain. And at the same time. All the soldiers of the Chinese Army appeared in Daxia City and lined up outside the city. They were afraid that the wandering Qiang people would come and snatch the horses. Whenever they saw another Qiang people coming, they would shoot with their crossbows and shoot down many of them who tried to fight for them. Qiang cavalry.
If the entire operation is in turmoil, Taishi Ci's command will remain stable. With lightning speed, he drove tens of thousands of war horses to the city of Daxia, and even brought back his own soldiers who died in battle. At one time, more than half of the nearly 100,000 war horses brought by the Qiang people were driven into Daxia City by the Chinese army. Some were frightened and fled in all directions, scattered in the wilderness outside the city.
Daxia City was originally a large city on the Daxia River. It was also an important place for garrisoning troops and the city was strong. The terrain is difficult. If it weren't for the small number of Wei troops and the fact that the Daxia River was three feet frozen, Taishi Ci would never have been able to capture the city so quickly. The strength of the city of Daxia can be compared with Didao, the county town of Longxi, during the period of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty. It even became the county seat of Longxi County at one time, so it was easy to accommodate tens of thousands of war horses.
As the army progressed, the gates of Daxia City were immediately closed. The Chinese army captured more than 60,000 war horses at the cost of minimal casualties. It was indeed a great victory.
"The Qiang people are a nation of horses. Losing their horses means losing their legs. I'll see what the Qiang people will do this time, hahahaha" After Taishi Ci entered the city, he climbed up the tower again and saw Hungry He's face. His eyes turned blue and red, and he laughed loudly.
Half an hour later, the Qiang people finally came down the hillside, but they had no intention of retreating. Instead, they formed their own formation. After a while, the Qiang people, who had lost their horses, gathered into a huge infantry square. The soldiers who were sent out to find horses also brought back the horses one after another, reorganized the cavalry, and scattered them on both wings of the infantry.
After seeing this, Taishi Ci felt very curious. According to his understanding of the Qiang people, these people should retreat if they lost their horses. However, what he saw was that the Qiang people not only did not retreat, but instead gathered into infantry formations. The formation looks quite interesting, and it is pushing forward the large wooden raft made of wood.
"Weird! How come the fighting methods of this group of Qiang people are similar to those of the Han people?" Taishi Ci frowned after looking at it, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, maybe this would be a bad battle.
"Define the arrow!" Taishi Ci shouted immediately when he saw the Qiang people massing their offensive again, advancing in an infantry phalanx, pushing a tall raft in front, and the soldiers hiding under the raft.
A bolt of arrows was shot out, leaving a mark on the snow.
Taishi Ci frowned after looking at it. The Qiang people pushed the big raft forward, and even if the arrows were shot out, they would be blocked.
He immediately went down from the city tower, gathered the cavalry again, and asked people to take out the fire oil from the county government's warehouse. He led two thousand cavalry and rushed out of the city again with explosive packs, preparing to use explosives to give the Qiang people a major blow.
"rush!"
Taishi Ci gave an order and led two thousand cavalry to rush out of the city gate.
At this time, the Qiang people suddenly stopped moving forward. The large raft blocked the sight of Taishi Ci and others, making it difficult to see what was going on inside, and it was impossible to estimate what the people inside were doing.
Suddenly, countless arrows were shot out from the Qiang infantry phalanx, flying densely into the sky, like countless flying locusts, covering the ground.It shot toward Daxia City like a blanket.
When Taishi Ci saw arrows flying away from his head, he felt a little uneasy. The Qiang people's way of fighting has always been without group interests, but today, the Qiang people hugged together and listened and dispatched.
"This army is not simple"
The horses galloped, and Taishi Ci had already left the city gate and was unable to command the soldiers in the city. However, if the soldiers in the city could not avoid themselves, they would be stupid.
Taishi Ci looked forward eagerly, and when he was about to rush to the big raft, suddenly the raft blocking the Qiang soldiers' battle formation was pulled to both sides. After the commander gave the order, thousands of arrows were fired at Taishi Ci and others.
"It's terrible!" When Taishi Ci saw such a scene, he remembered that the subordinates he brought out were only wearing ordinary leather armor. Facing such a powerful arrow formation, he was afraid that he would lose a lot of soldiers and horses.
In desperation, Taishi Ci immediately turned around and shouted: "Dismiss!"
After giving the order, the two thousand cavalry immediately dispersed into two groups, one on the left and one on the left, and then continued to charge towards the Qiang camp. However, many cavalry behind them were shot to the ground, including both men and horses, and there was a burst of wailing.
After the Qiang people fired a barrage of arrows, the archers immediately dispersed to both sides, while the pikemen behind the archers lined up directly in rows, blocking the front line. For a time, there was a forest of spears, with their heads pointing outwards. Greeting the cavalrymen such as Tai Shici who rushed over quickly.
In the Qiang battle formation, another group of archers immediately released arrows. Arrows as dense as rain shot at Tai Shici and others, killing many Chinese soldiers.
Taishi Ciyi, a master of bravery, took out the steel knife from his waist and kept swinging it, cutting off many arrows. When he saw that he was about to rush to the Qiang formation, he came to hide in a stirrup and prepared the sword. The explosives were ignited and then thrown forcefully into the Qiang camp.
The rest of the cavalry threw out explosives one after another. Once more than a thousand explosive packets fell into the Qiang camp, they immediately had a huge effect among the Qiang people. Huge explosions continued to sound, and the Qiang infantry phalanx They immediately collapsed into disarray, and many people began to flee in all directions. The army that had finally been assembled disintegrated in an instant.
Seeing this, Hung He couldn't control himself. He didn't know what the Huaxia Army was throwing, but this kind of thing was so powerful that it was really amazing. If such a small thing was thrown in, it could kill and injure at least twenty people. , and the people around seemed very frightened. More than a thousand explosive packets were thrown into the infantry square. More than 5,000 Qiang people immediately turned into a pile of flesh and blood, dying, and hundreds of people were injured. They sat on the ground. He kept shouting.
"Withdraw!" Upon seeing this, Taishi Ci immediately ordered the withdrawal. The lives of more than 5,000 Qiang people were exchanged for more than 900 people. It was worth it, and he could also see it. The faces of Hung He and others were full of fear. , his purpose was achieved.
The Qiang people were defeated. Only sporadic arrows were chasing Taishi Ci and others, but they were all blocked and failed to cause damage. The result of thousands of arrows being fired was that there was a large area of ??arrows on the ground, and they were actually shot to death. of people, but there are only more than 900 people.
When the soldiers of the Chinese Army passed by the bodies of their comrades on their way back, they stretched out their long arms, picked up the corpses of their comrades, then held them under their armpits, and returned to the city smoothly.
As soon as Taishi Ci and others returned to the city, they immediately organized his subordinates to ride on the horses of the plundered Qiang people, leaving five thousand people to guard the east gate. He himself took more than 20,000 people fully armored and began to leave the city again, holding weapons. , preparing to give a fatal blow to the Qiang people arranged outside the west gate.
