    A few months ago, bandits from the Central Plains captured Xuchang, burned down the palaces and walls, and looted all the treasures and materials accumulated over the Han and Wei dynasties.  The thief Duoma, who was already moving swiftly and erratically, became even more powerful after taking control of more than 100,000 pieces of armor and equipment in Xuchang's arsenal, greatly enhancing his combat effectiveness.  At this time, the knights who rushed into the swamp to drive away the Jin archers were the elite of this type of well-equipped thief army.  Most of them were wearing iron armor, some used fine iron spears up to six feet long, and some wielded various heavy weapons they were used to. The sound of hundreds of thousands of horsemen running gathered together like a continuous rolling thunder.  Its power shook the earth.  They were still hundreds of steps away, but even the water in front of Lin Yi was trembling.  The archers of the Youzhou Army collapsed under the impact of the enemy cavalry and ran wildly.  So the thieves chased them everywhere, and the seemingly huge procession fell into the vast reed swamps, and the stars could not be seen clearly.  Lin Yi took more than a hundred steps forward, crouched down behind a reed bush, and took a bow and arrow in his hand; Wang Gang and other soldiers followed suit and lurked nearby.  As soon as the arrangements were made, there was a roaring sound in the stream ahead, and two horses rushed towards them.  Lin Yi and others set their bows and arrows and shot continuously from several directions, killing him immediately.  However, a moment later, the enemy cavalry arrived in large numbers. The enemy and ourselves were mixed and mixed, and the sound of killing was deafening from all directions.  Lin Yi and others had no choice but to fight with spears and retreat while fighting.  An armored knight attacked from the side. Lin Yi lunged and thrust his spear, hitting the knight in the chest.  Unexpectedly, the armor worn by the knight was extremely heavy. When the two collided, the spear in Lin Yi's hand broke into two pieces and flew straight into the air.  Lin Yi stumbled to the ground and tried to stand up with his hands on the ground, but felt a sharp pain like tearing in his left shoulder and fell again.  The knight was knocked off his horse by the impact and fell heavily into the mud.  At this time, he stood up unsteadily, drew his sword and approached Lin Yi.  Unexpectedly, Wang Gang came around behind him and pounced on him, piercing the gap between the armor and helmet with a short knife and cutting the back of his neck.  The fierce fighting here attracted the attention of the enemy cavalry a little further away, and another cavalry came roaring towards them.  Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Yi grabbed a spear with one hand and stabbed the horse he was riding on.  The enemy rider quickly reined in his horse to avoid it, and when the horse and Lin Yi were passing by, he swung the ring-shaped sword in his backhand and struck down.  Lin Yi struggled and rolled in the muddy water, avoiding the blade.  The knight shouted angrily and turned his horse back to pursue him.  Seeing Lin Yi's embarrassment, a Jin soldier rushed to help Lin Yi. Before he could get close, an arrow flew from nowhere and hit him between the eyebrows.  The soldier stood on his back and died.  Lin Yi didn't care about others and went to hide deep in the muddy grass.  The knight rode in pursuit, but suddenly his horse's hooves got stuck in the mud, unable to advance or retreat, and his sight was obscured by growing reeds.  At this moment, Wang Gang jumped up from the reeds and cut off the horse's leg with a knife.  The knight turned over and fell off his horse. Before he could get up, Lin Yi flew towards him and pinned him to the ground.  Wang Gang slashed his head and face with his sword, and with more than ten blows in a row, the knight was already dead.  Even the blade of the long knife had several gaps due to the collision with the hard skull. Wang Gang sheathed the knife, but because his arm was weak, it took him several attempts to succeed.  The two sat opposite each other and took a short breath, only to realize that the other party's uniform and armor had been dyed red, and his face was covered with blood and mud, making it difficult to distinguish his face.  As experienced warriors, both of them cherished the brief tranquility in the fierce battle. No one spoke, they just half-lying and half-sitting to recover their strength.  After a while, Lin Yi said: "Although the thieves are fierce, they are not as agile as us in fighting in this quagmire. Then we have to lead the thieves deep into the depths before they can strike." Wang Gang nodded heavily, and the two gathered their swords and guns.  , moving forward again along the reedy area.  At this time, Ma Zeming's Chinese soldiers also joined the battle.  Mai Zeming and his trusted warriors Geng Luo, Liu Gui, and Mai Shiping all wore light armor and fought on foot.  These people are all warriors who are accustomed to fighting. They have fought side by side for many years and have a great understanding.  They raised their swords and spears simultaneously, knocking down the enemy cavalry that appeared in front one by one.  When the battle was in full swing, I saw a group of heavily armored knights charging towards them along the earth embankment.  The leader is wearing an iron armor painted in dark black, with a collar and neck protector, and a ferocious beast pattern painted on the iron pocket. Under the crotch is a tall horse, and the horse's body is also covered with heavy armor, making it difficult for weapons and weapons to penetrate.  The soldiers of Youzhou looked at it from a distance and found it difficult to deal with them. They all said: "This must be a thieves who can defeat ten thousand people!" This group of heavily armored knights ran wildly and collided with each other. The Jin soldiers who had no time to dodge were all hit.  Flying out; those who tried to resist were beaten from all sides by the leading warrior.  This man has infinite strength and is very agile in his movements.  None of the soldiers who went to resist could hold on for a long time, and they suffered heavy casualties in an instant.  "Back off! Back off!" Ma Zeming shouted repeatedly.  The Youzhou Army was already in a loose formation, but upon hearing the order, everyone cheered and cheered.Then go deep into the reed marsh.  The team of heavily armored knights pursued them for a few steps, but their horses' hooves got stuck in the mire, making it almost impossible to pull them out.  The group of people hurriedly turned their horses and turned back to the earth embankment.  The soldiers of Youzhou took the opportunity to shoot in several directions with their bows.  The arrows hit the bodies of the knights, and most of them were bounced away; some of the arrows were inserted into the armor, but they did not seem to cause serious damage.  The team of knights only retreated slightly, and then shot back with their horned bows. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while.  "Who is that guy?" Mai Zeming asked with a frown.  Although the general combat quality of the bandits is far inferior to that of the Youzhou Army, among the hundreds of thousands of people, there are inevitably a few people with extraordinary talents who should not be underestimated.  Liu Guidao said: "It should be Gaoliang, the brave general under Wang Mi. This man commanded heavy cavalry and was good at charging into battle. He is as famous as Wang Yan." Wang Yan was the bandit who came to challenge the Youzhou army when they crossed the river and headed south, but was finally killed by Hu Xiu.  Strong general.  Hearing this man's name, Mai Zeming was stunned and sighed: "There are many thieves and we are outnumbered. The battle situation is changing rapidly. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to continue this stalemate It's a pity that Hu Xiu is not here." Mai Shiping is Mai Zeming.  The tribesmen are known to be good at shooting.  Hearing the general praising Hu Xiu, he said excitedly: "When I sneak close, I will kill him with one arrow!" Mai Zeming nodded.  Mai Shiping led several of his men and slowly approached under the cover of vegetation and water nets.  After careful observation at around 100 paces, we found that the enemy cavalry actually suffered a lot from the exchange of fire with our own side.  Gao Liang had more than ten arrows stuck in his body. Although he was not seriously injured due to the thickness of his armor, he jumped and roared repeatedly, which showed that he was obviously injured.  It is a taboo for military strategists to use heavy cavalry to fight light infantry in swamps; the complex terrain in the swamp also limits the bandits' advantage of overpowering the minority.  In this way, even if the enemy general has the courage of a bear, what is there to fear?  That's just a target!  "Thieves are thieves" Mai Shiping sneered slightly: "We can win this battle!" Mai Shiping opened his bow and arrow, and shot towards Gaoliang's face.  But Gao Liang was very alert. When the arrow arrived, he lowered his head sharply. The arrow cluster hit the iron bag, and sparks shot out.  Mai Shiping fired two more arrows in succession. Gao Liang reined in his horse and retreated. One arrow missed, and the other hit the edge of the smooth armor and fell to the ground.  This is definitely not the normal performance of a sharpshooter in the military.  Mai Shiping could almost hear the laughter of the soldiers behind him. He took a deep breath, escaped from the cover of the reeds, took aim with his bow, and strode closer through the water.  His actions immediately attracted the attention of the bandits, and several arrows made a whizzing sound, passing by his hair and sides.  But Mai Shiping did not hesitate and continued to move forward while maintaining his aiming posture.  When he was about 70 or 80 steps closer, a long arrow hit Mai Shiping's left shoulder. The arrow embedded into his flesh and bone, causing pain in his heart and lungs. The huge momentum made his whole body lean back.  However, in this flash of lightning, Mai Shiping's long-prepared arrow was fired.  Gao Liang, who was patrolling his horse, suddenly felt a shock all over his body, and immediately fell from his horse like a felled giant tree.  A fine iron arrow penetrated deeply into his face, and the arrow shaft was still shining with a cold light.
