- "Blow the war drums, charge the whole army, and kill every Qiang man without leaving a single piece of armor behind!" Taishi Ci held a wind-fire hooking halberd, rode a lion, and shouted loudly to the cavalry behind him. ¡¾
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!" More than 20,000 cavalrymen all shouted, their voices extremely rich.
"Use bows and arrows from a hundred steps away, use repeating crossbows within a hundred steps, throw spears within twenty steps, and use steel knives when getting close. Open the city gate!" Taishi Ci hung the Wind and Fire Hooking Halberd on his horse's neck, took out his big bow and Arrow, he immediately shouted loudly.
With an order, the west gate opened again. Taishi Ci took the lead and rushed out of the city first. All the cavalry behind him rushed out in a mighty manner, heading towards the Qiang people who had just been attacked.
Hung He and others were still immersed in the huge pressure brought by the secret weapon of the Chinese army and could not extricate themselves. Suddenly they saw Taishi Ci and others returning, and tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out from Daxia City, knowing this It was the Chinese army that began to attack.
"Blow the horn and prepare to fight!" He was so hungry that he could not retreat even if he died on the battlefield. Even if he died on the battlefield, he could not retreat even half a step. Cheriji even killed his own brother. They came to besiege the country with an army of 60,000. Xia Cheng, if he loses again, he will only die.
The cavalry around Hung He all rushed over with Hung He, and the infantry followed. These Qiang people were all strong and strong. When they saw the Chinese army attacking, although they were frightened by the Chinese army's explosives, they were more filled with hatred. He rushed forward with Hung He, and the battle was about to break out.
At this critical moment, Shao Ge outside the East Gate City heard Hungry He's charge horn, and immediately gathered his army to formally attack the city. A phalanx of more than 10,000 infantrymen pushed the large raft towards the east gate of Daxia City and launched a strong attack. The cavalry on both sides ran forward with bows and arrows, constantly harassing the defenders of Daxia City under the city wall, and provided support for the infantry. The arrival of the phalanx. Cover.
Not to be outdone, the Chinese army fired their crossbows in unison. The defenders commanded Ruo De, and brought heavy fire oil from the county government treasury and carried it to the city wall. They also had people push small trebuchets and pack explosives. Place it properly. Then wait until the Qiang people get close and then launch it.
When the war started, armies met outside the west gate of Daxia City. The Chinese cavalry and the Qiang people collided directly, and a melee broke out on the flat ground. At the east gate of Daxia City, the Qiang people took the initiative. More than 20,000 Qiang people cooperated with each other, using arrows as tests to suppress the defenders, while the Chinese army took a symbolic counterattack.
At this time. The infantry pushed the big raft directly close to the city wall, put the big raft on the city wall, formed a slope, and began to climb continuously. Under the city wall was a dense crowd, while the Qiang cavalry retreated behind and fired arrows. Arrow cover.
Seeing this, the guard general of the Chinese Army immediately ordered his subordinates to start pouring fire oil on the large rafts. Then the people near the city gate prepared to launch ignited explosive packets, and they and the soldiers on the city wall fought hard. The Lian Nu fired a burst of wild shots, holding the steel knife tightly, and chopped down the Qiang people who were about to climb up the city wall.
The soldiers of the Chinese Army poured heavy fire oil on the big raft. The heavy fire oil flowed down the big raft, and a pungent smell immediately emerged, followed immediately. The soldiers of the Chinese Army lit the big raft with torches, and the whole raft was set on fire. Some Qiang people's feet were covered with fire oil, and the fire spread to their bodies in an instant, and then it started to burn. .
"ah¡¡"
Burning in flames. The pain was unbearable, and many Qiang people screamed and retreated. Little did they know that when one person retreated, the people around him also got angry. The Qiang people all wore sheepskin coats, which were all flammable items. The weather was dry and dry at this time. Once they came into contact with the fire, they immediately burned.
At the same time, soldiers of the Chinese Army launched many ignited explosives from the city, flew over the city tower, and landed directly in the dense Qiang camp outside the city. Once they landed, there was a huge explosion immediately, and some fuses burned It was relatively fast and exploded directly in the air, sounding like a thunderbolt from the blue.
"Boom! Boom"
The huge explosion and the burning flames shocked the Qiang people.
When Shao Ge saw this, he couldn't help but frowned, waved his scimitar, and shouted loudly: "Charge! Everyone rush up to me. If we don't take this city, no one will survive!"
As a result, more Qiang people began to think of ways to attack the city, and carried new rafts to set up on the city wall. Some even rushed to the bottom of the city wall, used lasso to throw onto the city wall, and then tied the battlements. Start climbing up. But the soldiers of the Chinese Army did not give them any chance to climb the city tower. They wielded their steel knives and killed the Qiang soldiers. They also cut off the ropes and pushed the rafts so that the Qiang people could not climb the city wall.
But the explosion sound still did not stop, as soon as it landed among the Qiang people, it exploded immediately.There were flowers, more than a dozen Qiang people were either dead or injured, their limbs were everywhere, and the blood stained the city gate red.
Outside the west gate of Daxia City, Taishi Ci led the cavalry of the Chinese army to fight bravely. Wherever the wind and fire halberd hit, there was blood. The Chinese army shared the same hatred with the enemy, and with high momentum, they launched the final attack on the Qiang people.
Taishi Ci even met Hung He. The two horses crossed each other, and within a moment, Tai Shi Ci directly stabbed Hung He to death under the horse. More than 20,000 cavalry gradually surrounded the Qiang people in Kanxin and began to fight at will. Harvesting the heads of the Qiang people.
The sun was setting in the west, the sky was full of sunset, and under the setting sun, the ground outside the west gate of Daxia City was bloody. The snow on the ground melted with the hot blood and turned into a bloody swamp. The Chinese army trampled the Qiang soldiers mercilessly. They all refused to surrender and resisted bravely. However, in front of the Chinese army, which had an advantage in soldiers and armor, they could only attack the stone with an egg.
Outside the east gate of Daxia City, the fighting situation was even more intense. The Qiang people launched a suicidal attack ferociously. They knew that the resistance ahead was huge, but they refused to retreat. The corpses lying under the city wall almost piled up into a hill. . The Chinese army, which had been holding on for so long, also felt a bit tired. There were only more than 3,900 soldiers left out of the 5,000 defenders, and most of the rest died under the random arrows of the Qiang people. And the remaining more than 3,900 people were all exhausted.
The guard's armor was soaked with blood, and his whole body became a bloody man. He watched the Qiang people outside the city keep attacking forward, and the explosive packs were almost finished ejecting, and he gradually felt an inexplicable pressure. He stuck his head out and looked at the corpse under the city wall. They were almost piled up to the height of the city wall, and the Qiang people no longer carried any rafts, but directly stepped on the corpses in front of them to climb the city wall from below.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood, a place of purgatory.
The guard general hurriedly shouted to the soldiers around him in a hoarse voice: "Go and inform the general to come to the east gate for reinforcements quickly, otherwise the east gate will be captured."
Outside the east gate city. Shao Ge looked at this scene and was extremely excited. For him, it didn't matter how many people died, what mattered was whether he could accomplish the task entrusted by the king. The 60,000-strong army must capture this city no matter what.
"Charge! Keep charging. The Chinese defenders are already showing signs of exhaustion. Keep killing them. Kill those sons of bitches! Victory is right in front of you. Once the city is broken, the king will definitely reward you heavily." Shao Ge screamed, with a look of greed in his eyes.
Shao Ge was leading three thousand cavalry on a high slope. He was extremely excited. He was about to capture the city. What could be more exciting than the king's reward.
Outside the west gate of Daxia City, Taishi Ci led more than 10,000 cavalry to launch the final attack on the Qiang people. In this melee, the Qiang people's tenacious resistance also brought a lot of trouble to the Chinese army. Twenty-three thousand cavalry were dispatched. After an hour or two of bloody fighting, the Chinese soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, losing more than 4,100 cavalry.
At the same time, Taishi Ci also felt something different. This group of Qiang people never surrendered. Even with the shock of highly lethal weapons like the Chinese Army's explosives, they still regarded death as home. After the commander-in-chief died, Commander-in-Chief Qu led him to continue fighting. After Commander-in-Chief Qu died, the commander-in-chief took over the work. There was a close connection between the various ministries. Working together, they are no longer the nomads they dealt with five years ago, but more like soldiers who have undergone formal training.
"General, the east gate is in a tight situation. The general requires the general to lead troops to support immediately, otherwise the east gate will be completely lost!" A scout found Tai Shici from the crowd and shouted loudly.
Taishi Ci frowned, stood on horseback and looked around, but saw that there were still four or five thousand Qiang people resisting in the corner, so he said: "Let him hold on for another half hour. After half an hour, I will He will definitely arrive in person with his army!"
The scouts then hurriedly rode back to the east gate, and Taishi Ci continued to lead his men in the battle.
The scout came to the east gate and gave Taishi Ci's order to the guard. After hearing this, the guard showed a troubled look on his face. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Move all the explosive bags to the tower, and all the soldiers will go up to the tower to carry out the attack." Defend and hold on for another half hour, we must not let the Qiang people conquer!"
Although the soldiers of the Chinese Army were extremely tired, fortunately they had explosives as a highly destructive weapon. Following the guard general's order, the soldiers carried up all the few remaining explosive packages, and then the remaining three thousand Many people went up to the tower and divided into two groups. One group started shooting arrows, while the other group resisted in front for fear of being attacked by the Qiang people.
¡°Don¡¯t use explosives indiscriminately, throw them at crowded places!¡± the guard ordered.
At this time, it was already dark night. The Qiang people were not sleeping and kept attacking. Huge explosions were also heard continuously. However, the Qiang people did not show any fear and rushed toward the city wall.
 Shao Ge looked from a distance and saw that the Chinese army seemed to be resisting fiercely, so he said angrily: "What are you doing to eat? Come with me!"
After saying that, Shao Ge took the lead, picked up his long bow, set up arrows, and with the three thousand guards cavalry behind him, he rushed towards the city gate. As he rushed, he shouted loudly: "Anyone who doesn't want to die, escape." open!"
There were many Qiang people who couldn't dodge, and Shao Ge didn't show any signs of evading. He rode directly into the past, knocking many of his men away. The three thousand cavalry were all freshmen. They had never participated in the battle and had been watching the battle. At this time, suddenly He rushed over, trampled on the hill of corpses, and headed towards the city wall, opened his bow and arrow, and fired accurately.
There were lights on the city tower, so that the Huaxia army was in the light, but the Qiang people were in the dark. The arrows fired by Shaoge and others all flew from the darkness. The soldiers of the Huaxia army could not tell from which direction they were shot. Many people were shot to death by this group of people.
There was a gap in the city wall. When the guard saw the Qiang people riding corpses in the shadow and climbing up the city wall, he was shocked and immediately shouted: "Quickly block the gap!"
At the same time, the soldier holding the explosive pack threw the explosive towards the cavalry team. As soon as he raised his hand, he was shot by an arrow. The explosive pack in his hand immediately fell to the ground, and the soldier hurriedly picked it up with his other hand. Throwing it out, who knew it hadn't been thrown yet? The fuse burned too fast and exploded.
There was a loud "boom", which directly exploded several soldiers who were dropping bombs around them.
Seeing this, the bombardier on the other side immediately threw the explosive package. But at this time, there were already more than a dozen cavalry following Shao Ge on the city wall. This group of people were extremely brave, and they all fought to the tune of ten. They immediately created an open space on the city tower. Shao Ge even killed the guard with a single blow, and then launched a plan. The horses drove away the rest of the Chinese Army soldiers. They knew that the Chinese Army's armor was strong, so the scimitars usually either beheaded or chopped on the legs of the Chinese Army soldiers. For a time, the Chinese Army soldiers suffered a lot of losses.
At this time. The Qiang cavalry behind them also immediately boarded the tower and began to engage in a melee with the exhausted Chinese soldiers on the wall.
"Kill! Kill for me! Daxia City is ours! Hahaha" Shao Ge shouted happily while killing the soldiers of the Chinese Army.
While Shao Ge was still shouting freely, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness. With a "whoosh" sound, it flew directly towards Shao Ge.
By the time Shao Ge realized the danger, it was already too late. A black feather arrow appeared. It hit him directly in the forehead and knocked him off his horse. He fell to the city wall, rolled down again, and merged with the mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood piled up around the city wall. His flesh and blood were trampled by the Qiang cavalry who came up from behind.
In the city, a horseman galloped out, with thousands of cavalry galloping behind him. Running directly towards the east gate, with the dim light of the fire reflecting in the dim night, Taishi Ci, who had become a bloody man, fired five arrows in succession at the Qiang cavalry standing on the city wall.
The Qiang cavalry on the city wall all fell to the ground in response, and the surrounding Chinese army saw the arrival of reinforcements led by Tai Shici. Everyone cheered, and the originally low morale suddenly rose.
Taishi Ci dropped his big bow, raised the Wind and Fire Hooking Halberd, and leaped up the stairs to the city wall. He opened the way with a halberd and pierced the armor of the Qiang people wherever it went. The cavalry behind him rushed in one after another. They came up, took over the Chinese army's defensive force, and drove back the Qiang people who had climbed onto the city wall.
At the same time, a large number of cavalry came from the darkness, bypassed the city wall, and appeared directly behind the Qiang people. The Chinese cavalry who were already red-eyed were all very brave and slaughtered this group of Qiang people at will.
The Qiang commander Shao Ge was killed in battle, and several Qu commanders ordered their men to fight against him. However, the Chinese army suddenly came from behind and the shouts of killing were loud. It was dark, and it was unclear how many Chinese troops there were. It happened that at this time Taishi Ci on the city wall shouted loudly that reinforcements were coming. The Qiang people thought that another group of Chinese troops were coming to help, and they were all frightened.
When the battle reached this point, the Qiang people were extremely exhausted and could not attack the city. Instead, they suffered numerous casualties and some people had long wanted to retreat. Suddenly, a Qu commander was unwilling to continue fighting. He realized that the situation was not good and took the initiative to lead his troops to retreat. The other Qu commanders also followed suit.
For a time, the army was defeated like a mountain. The Qiang people ran out as if they were lifeless. The cavalry of the Chinese army chased behind them. They chased for more than ten miles and beheaded more than 2,000 Qiang soldiers who had no horses. Everyone has become a dead soul under the sword of the Chinese army, and corpses are everywhere along the way.
After the victory of the battle, Taishi Ci put people in charge of inventorying the battlefield. In this battle, Daxia City really became a purgatory. 60,000 Qiang people were killed, more than 50,000 people were killed, and only a few thousand cavalry escaped. It was a great victory. However, the Chinese militaryA heavy price was paid. More than half of the 30,000-strong army suffered casualties. The bodies of martyrs who died in the battle piled up like mountains. The Qiang people's stubborn resistance that refused to surrender really caused the Chinese army to suffer a heavy loss.
After dawn, Taishi Ci inspected the entire Daxia City and saw that within a radius of five miles, everything was blood red. The cold night had frozen the blood-colored swamp outside the west gate into ice. When the sun rose in the morning, the sunlight still shone on it. The red light reflected on Daxia City, making Daxia City look like a city of blood.
At noon, the Chinese army was able to finish the work of cleaning up the corpses. The huge workload made the Chinese army feel exhausted. Finally, all the Qiang corpses were stripped naked, gathered together, doused with fire and oil, and burned. For the dead soldiers of the Chinese army, Taishi Ci had people dig a big pit on the spot and bury all the corpses in the mountains near Daxia City, naming it the Tomb of Heroes.
It is worth mentioning that the fire that burned the Qiang people had so many corpses that the fire burned for three days and three nights before finally burning all the corpses.
After that, Taishi Ci began to repair the city wall. He also asked Pound's army to come and join him, preparing to wait until Pound's army arrived before launching an attack on Didao City.
At the same time on Baishi Mountain, Ma Chao had just received information about the arrival of Wei troops. He heard that Xiahou Yuan and Xu Shu led 29,000 troops and set up camp on a flat land between Baishi Mountain and Wushu Cave Mountain. He was very happy in his heart and immediately said to Jiang Shi: "I will take half of the troops and horses to attack the Wei army's camp now. When they have just lost their foothold, I will kill the Wei army by surprise. I will leave half of the troops and horses for you. You have the right to hold on tight." Guard this mountain."
After Jiang Shi heard this, he said: "General Tian, ??the Wei army is powerful, and the general only takes five thousand people. I'm afraid"
"No! Wang Shuang will also send troops from Wushu Cave Mountain at the same time. This is what I have planned with him a long time ago. Once an enemy army appears between the two mountains, we will attack the enemy at the same time. Now that the Wei army has arrived, Just take advantage of them to attack them from afar. Just guard this mountain and I will share the credit with you." Ma Chao interrupted Jiang Shi.
After hearing this, Jiang Shi hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General Tian. I will definitely guard this mountain and wait for General Tian's triumphant return."
"Well, remember, I won't lead the troops back in person. Don't let anyone enter the mountain and secure the main roads in the mountain." Ma Chao said with a little worry. After all, Jiang Shi was Zhang Xiu's subordinate, not his. Jiang Shi's ability was not yet clear, but he thought that guarding the mountain road should not be a problem, and he went to attack the Wei army. All the elite soldiers must have been taken away. For a while, no generals could be found for reconnaissance, so they could only hand them over to Jiang Shi.
"Don't worry, General Tian. I will definitely guard the mountain road. I will never take it lightly if the general doesn't come back." Jiang Shi promised.
Ma Chao nodded, immediately ordered all the best soldiers and generals, took away the five thousand horse infantry, and headed towards the Wei army camp.
Just as Ma Chao had estimated, after Wang Shuang received the information on Wushu Cave Mountain, he immediately organized elite soldiers and generals to go down the mountain and attack the Wei army camp according to the pre-agreed method.
The Wei army was stationed between Wushu Cave Mountain and Baishi Mountain. The two mountains were more than fifty miles apart. The Wei army camp was stationed between the two mountains. There was a flat land there that was suitable for camping.
In the Wei army camp, Xia Houyuan gathered the generals and were discussing how to deal with Ma Chao and Wang Shuang. Suddenly, a dark wind roared outside. The strong wind broke a flagpole. The flag fell and almost killed someone. The soldiers were cursing outside. The sound was so loud that it actually attracted Xia Houyuan's questioning.
When Xia Houyuan knew that the wind had broken the flagpole, he turned to Xu Shu and said, "Military advisor, before our army even left the army, the strong wind broke the flagpole. It's an ominous sign"
Xu Shu smiled and said: "The general is wrong, this is a good sign."
"A good omen?"
"Exactly. I expect that when Ma Chao and Wang Shuang learn that our army is camping here, they will definitely think that our army is not stable and has come from a long distance. It must be out of men and horses. They want to take advantage of our army's unpreparedness at night and attack the camp at night." Xu Shu road.
Xia Houyuan nodded and said, "What the military advisor said makes sense, but how can Ma Chao be so smart?"
"No one should be underestimated. Our army should be prepared for any danger."
"Appreciate further details."
"Haha, this is simple. Since he wants to rob the camp, let him rob it. Anyway, there is nothing useful in an empty camp. The focus is on Baishi Mountain and Wushu Cave Mountain. These two places are the most dangerous places. Tonight we will fight The Chinese army will change positions, and he will rob our camp. We will outwit two dangerous mountains and kill Ma Chao by surprise tonight!"
So, Xu Shu immediately told him how to arrange it. After hearing this, Xia Houyuan laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's a great idea.Ma Chao is a child, but he is brave and resourceless. Even if he cannot be captured tonight, he will be defeated. "
After the discussion was settled, Xia Houyuan summoned two of his generals, Deng Bai and Wen Ji, and immediately assigned each of them five thousand soldiers and horses, and headed towards Baishi Mountain and Wushu Cave Mountain respectively. However, they did not take the main road, but instead If you take the small road, you have to wait for Ma Chao and Wang Shuang to pass before you can take action.
Deng Bai and Wen Ji were both old subordinates of Xia Houyuan, and they were deeply trusted by Xia Houyuan, so after receiving the order, they immediately led the troops out.
In addition, Xia Houyuan called Cao Xiu and asked Cao Xiu to lead 10,000 troops to ambush ten miles north of the camp. He and Xu Shu only left 9,000 troops to guard the camp. The two agreed to use fire as a signal.
After all the soldiers were sent out, Xia Houyuan and Xu Shu asked the soldiers to actively deploy defensive measures and spread suspicion, just waiting for Ma Chao and Wang Shuang to attack.
After nightfall. Ma Chao came quietly from the direction of Baishi Mountain, picked up his telescope and looked from a distance, but saw that the Wei army's camp was not very well guarded. He felt happy and secretly shouted: "The Wei army has come from afar, soldiers and horses." Tired. As expected, it seems that I succeeded tonight."
Ma Chao then ordered his men to rest where they were and wait until late at night before taking action.
When it was midnight, Ma Chao looked through the telescope again and saw that the soldiers guarding the camp were all sleepy. Thinking that the opportunity had come, he immediately got on his horse and said to the men behind him: "The camp will be robbed tonight. No matter how old or young you are, everyone will do it." Slaughter them all, and will not accept any surrender. Anyone who kills anyone named Cao will be rewarded heavily. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao immediately galloped on his horse, carrying the Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear, and rushed towards the Wei army camp.
Five thousand horse infantry. All of them are elite soldiers and generals who have followed Ma Chao for many years. They also knew the hatred between Ma Chao and Wei Jun, and everyone was as close as brothers, so they transferred the hatred to themselves, and each of them, with red eyes, rushed towards the Wei Jun camp to kill.
Ma Chao and his troops marched together, and Wang Shuang, who had been waiting for a long time on the left, also responded. They attacked from the left and right, shot and killed the soldiers guarding the camp, pushed aside the obstacles, opened the gate of the village, and two groups of people rushed into the camp one after the other. They met each other and immediately began to prepare to massacre the Wei army. Unexpectedly, they suddenly heard the sound of a cannon. The Wei army soldiers hiding in the camp immediately appeared and fired fiercely at the Huaxia army. Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others came first. caught off guard.
"Oops! We've fallen into a trap!" Wang Shuang saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Master, retreat quickly!"
"Where to go!" A shout came from outside the camp gate. Xia Houyuan held a big sword and led a group of cavalry to block the exit of the camp. Many archers appeared outside, shooting fiercely at the Huaxia army. At the same time, the Wei army raised fire as a signal. .
When Ma Chao saw Xia Houyuan appeared, he was furious. He looked around and saw that there were not many Wei troops, so he immediately ordered: "Kill!"
After giving the order, the Chinese army began to counterattack. The crossbowmen quickly fired arrows. Compared with the archers of the Wei army, they were more powerful than the Wei army at close range. They specialized in shooting at the enemy's throat, and all of them were arrows. It penetrates the throat, and the shooting speed of the repeating crossbow is very fast. It is not as time-consuming as the bow and arrow.
In addition, there are two types of repeating crossbows in the Chinese army. One is for shooting ten crossbows at a time, and the other is for shooting one crossbow at a time, but it can shoot continuously. For a while, the Chinese army was besieged among them. Under the powerful In front of the arrow formation, the Wei troops also began to dodge.
Surviving in adversity has actually increased the combat capabilities of the Chinese Army. The Northwest Army was already well-trained, so once the arrows were compared, the Wei Army fell at a disadvantage.
"Shoot with the armor-piercing awl!" Xia Houyuan shouted loudly as he took out the armor-piercing awl.
He took out three armor-piercing awls, aimed them directly at Ma Chao, and shot out the arrows without answering.
Ma Chao hid in a stirrup, then hid and led the cavalry towards Xia Houyuan. Except for some initial damage to the 10,000 Chinese army, the situation was basically stabilized. The infantry mixed together to form a battle formation. The cavalry rushed in all directions, taking the opportunity to open a bloody path.
Seeing Ma Chao arriving in person, Xia Houyuan hurriedly abandoned his bow and sword, and immediately went to fight Ma Chao, hoping to avenge the arrow.
As soon as the two people met, they fought together, with swords and guns in hand. Both pairs of eyes were full of hatred. They only focused on fighting themselves, but forgot about the environment they were in.
When Xu Shu saw this from a distance, he couldn't help being surprised. He knew that Xia Houyuan was impatient, but he didn't expect him to be so impatient. As a result, his plan was disrupted. There were relatively few Wei troops in the military camp, so it was only suitable for distant soldiers. Attack is not suitable for close combat. Xia Houyuan suddenly threw his words behind him.
"Now, I just pray that Cao Xiu can come here quickly, otherwiseIn other words, with the superiority of the Chinese army, our army may not be able to resist for long. " Xu Shu was secretly worried in his heart while instructing the archers to shoot arrows.
Ma Chao was fighting fiercely with Xia Houyuan. Both of them were using swords and guns to fight each other. No one within a few meters around them dared to approach for fear of being injured by the two men.
Wang Shuang led his cavalry to fight in a circle, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Wei army. He took out his sword and their heads fell to the ground. He was unstoppable.
When Cao Xiu, who was ten miles away, received the signal, he immediately led his troops to assist in the battle, and the army charged forward non-stop.
With his personal bravery, Wang Shuang led the soldiers of the Huaxia Army to fight a bloody road. When he saw that the way in was blocked, there were not many Wei soldiers in the northwest corner. He was overjoyed immediately and rushed over there with his soldiers. As soon as he rushed to the gate of the camp and was about to retreat to the outside of the camp, his horse's hooves suddenly missed the ground and a large hole appeared on the ground. Wang Shuang was unable to catch it. He fell directly into the big pit, and the people behind him also fell into it.
The pit was filled with sharpened wooden stakes. Once Wang Shuang fell in, due to the steel armor protection, the wooden stakes failed to pierce his chest, but his two thighs were deeply pierced. The horse above him fell down again, pressing him to the ground and smashing him in the chest until he vomited blood. then. The cavalrymen who fell down one after another were stabbed by wooden stakes and screamed again and again. Some of them directly pierced their heads. On the contrary, Wang Shuang was directly pressed to the bottom. After receiving heavy blows again and again, he was gasping for breath. He was out of breath and had a serious injury to his leg, making it difficult for him to move. Looking up at the night sky, using up the last bit of strength. Roaring loudly: "Master, leave quickly"
"Boom!"
There was another muffled sound, and a war horse fell down directly and hit him on the head. With a crisp sound, his skull was smashed and he died on the spot.
Ma Chao is fighting fiercely with Xia Houyuan. Less than ten rounds into the fight, Wang Shuang heard Wang Shuang's cry. He couldn't help but get distracted. He stabbed Xia Houyuan several times randomly and forced Xia Houyuan away. He immediately looked back and saw that there were soldiers and horses in the open space in the northwest corner, but no one dared to move forward. There must be a large horse trap on the ground, but no matter what, Wang Shuang could not be seen. , and shouted loudly: "Wang Shuang!"
The shouts were loud and no one responded. Ma Chao couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.
At this time, Xia Houyuan's blade approached, and a fierce momentum struck directly at the top of Ma Chao's head. Ma Chao was startled and hurriedly dodged. Xia Houyuan's blade directly cut off the helmet on Ma Chao's helmet. This sword was really dangerous.
Ma Chao was extremely angry, and his eyes were even redder. He remembered that Wang Shuang was loyal to him, but now his whereabouts were unknown and his life and death were uncertain. Veins popped up all over his body. He turned around and stabbed Xia Houyuan with a single shot.
Xia Houyuan was feeling regretful about the sword strike just now, but he didn't know that Ma Chao was so good at shooting that he stabbed him in such a short period of time. He twisted around and stabbed his chest with his carbine, making it difficult for him to resist.
"when!"
Ma Chao's Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear directly hit Xia Houyuan's chest, making a muffled sound. Xia Houyuan was also knocked off his horse by the sudden and huge force, and fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled sound.
Xia Houyuan originally thought that Ma Chao's carbine shot would kill him, but he didn't know that what Ma Chao stabbed was not the head of the spear, but the tail. Even so, he was also stabbed in the internal organs by Ma Chao's huge blow, and he only felt that There was a surge of energy and blood, and he spit out blood with a whoosh, and a groove for the tail of a gun appeared on the armor on his chest.
Ma Chao was shocked when he saw this. Due to Wang Shuang's interference just now, he actually forgot to hold his spear upside down. When he turned around, he stabbed out with the tail of his carbine. Xia Houyuan took an advantage and was unable to kill him with one shot. Xia Houyuan killed him. He turned the gun upside down, rode forward, and was about to stab Xia Houyuan, who fell to the ground. Xia Houyuan's generals suddenly came out from both sides, and the soldiers quickly pulled Xia Houyuan away from his sight.
"Xiahou, my son, don't try to escape" Ma Chao stabbed a general to death with one shot, swept through the entire army with one move, and killed all the surrounding Wei soldiers.
However, as soon as they finished killing one area, the Wei army came up again and surrounded Ma Chao. Ma Chao watched helplessly as Xia Houyuan disappeared into the night, regretting the shot he had just taken.
At this time, Cao Xiu led people to kill them. It was hard to tell how many people came in the dark night. The soldiers of the Huaxia Army, commanded by several generals, gathered together inside the camp and started fighting with the Wei Army. They were as stable as a rock.
Ma Chao saw that he had lost the opportunity to rob the camp. If he was surrounded by the incoming Wei army again, he was afraid that more people would die. After killing the people around him, he rode towards the camp and led his men. , and immediately shouted loudly: "The whole army retreats!"
With an order, all the soldiers of the Huaxia Army followed Ma Chao and fought out from the southwest. Ma Chao took the lead, and the cavalry behind him were all brave. They quickly fought a bloody road from the Wei army. When Cao Xiu's army arrived, At the camp, Ma Chao and others had already retreated.
Cao Xiu wanted to pursue him, but Xu Shu stopped him and said, "Don't chase the poor enemy. Ma Chao is very brave and brave. Don't press hard. Clean up the camp and clean the battlefield. There will be no trouble in the north."
After Ma Chao and others ran for more than ten miles, they stopped. Once they stopped, Ma Chao immediately found Wang Shuang's general. After asking, he found out that Wang Shuang fell into the horse pit and died. He immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet. wailed loudly.
At this time, Jiang Shi came over from the direction of Baishi Mountain with his soldiers and horses. After seeing Ma Chao, he took a long breath, dismounted and said, "General Tian is fine, I'm relieved."
When Ma Chao saw Jiang Shi arriving, he hurriedly asked, "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to guard Baishi Mountain?"
"General Tian, ??didn't you send someone to report that we were trapped by the Wei army and asked me to lead the army to support?" Jiang Shi was also surprised.
"Damn Xu Shu, I fell into his trick again." Ma Chao said regretfully.
Ma Chao was about to discuss taking back Baishi Mountain when he saw that all the soldiers from the direction of Wuzhu Cave Mountain had also come out. At that moment, he knew something was wrong. Both Baishi Mountain and Wuzhu Cave Mountain had been occupied by the Wei army.
Wang Shuang was killed in battle, and Baishi Mountain and Wushu Cave Mountain were attacked by the Wei army. Ma Chao felt that he could not gain a foothold here, so he decided to temporarily lead his troops to retreat to Xiangwu, preparing to regroup and fight with the Wei army again.
In the Wei army's camp, Xia Houyuan suffered some minor internal injuries. He was sitting in the big tent. After receiving the battle report from Deng Bai and Wen Ji, he laughed and said to Xu Shu: "I really admire the military master's clever plan. Our army will not be able to defeat it." I managed to conquer two dangerous mountains with little effort. However, it was really annoying that I couldn't catch Ma Chao tonight, and I almost Hey! It's okay not to mention Ma Chao's bravery, but I knew today that I was no match for him ¡¡±
"General, the count has been completed. Our army lost more than 2,000 people in this battle, and the Chinese army lost more than 2,000 people. Moreover, Wang Shuang's body was found in the horse pit. Once Wang Shuang died, Ma Chao lost an arm. "It will be much easier to capture Ma Chao again," Cao Xiu came in and reported.
Xu Shu thought for a moment and said: "Shouyang County and Zhangxian County are too close to Baishi Mountain and Wushu Cave Mountain, and are still under the front of our army. If I am not wrong, Ma Chao should retreat to Xiang Wu, our army should speed up the march and capture Jicheng first, so that we can have the capital to spend on Liangzhou and the Huaxia Army. Jicheng is an important strategic location for our army and must be captured after it is captured. After getting supplies, we retreated here. The terrain here is difficult, we can attack if we advance, and we can defend if we retreat. It is much stronger than the city and can carry out a long-term confrontation with the Chinese army. "
After saying that, Xu Shu said to Xia Houyuan: "General, please order Zhang Xiu to lead all the troops to garrison here. Didao City has lost its strategic significance. If the Qiang people capture Panghan and Daxia City, the military front will definitely be in danger. Didao, this is not the time for friction with the Qiang people."
Xia Houyuan nodded and said: "The military advisor's words are reasonable. Wen Lie, you can pass on the order and let Zhang Xiu lead troops to garrison here."
Cao Xiu said: "No!"
In the Longxi War, both Ma Chao and Pang De ended in defeat. Although Taishi Ci won, he was especially defeated. The appearance of the Qiang people and the conspiracy of the Wei army directly pulled the Northwest Army into a sluggish state.
Pang De led his army to join forces with Tai Shi Ci, and all troops were stationed in Daxia City, while Ma Chao retreated to Xiangwu, and their morale was very low.
