When a large group of people gather together to attack, the advantage of placing your position in the middle of the group is that you can avoid the first wave of impact, which is the most violent collision between the two warring parties. At the same time, you can take into account the situation and facilitate Decide whether to attack or retreat based on the stakes of the situation.

This is the wisdom of Xiaoqushuai's roast chicken survival, which enables him to survive in Liangzhou, where wars have been going on for years and the chaos is extreme, and he has survived with all his arms and legs to this day.

But today, the little wisdom of roast chicken has put him in a dangerous situation.

Greedy for success, he urged the knights under his tent to come within fifty or sixty steps of the Han army. He wanted to take a bold risk by relying on the cavalry's lightness and erraticness, and tentatively break through the dense and solid formation of the Han army.

What Ke Shaoji never expected was that the Han army in front of them stood still when they attacked, like a big tree rooted in the earth. Moreover, the Han army skillfully carried out pre-battle formation changes. The crossbow arrows shot out like a sudden storm and struck them head and face with fierce blows.

For a moment, they were on their backs and their horses were on their backs. The momentum of their charge was blocked and they could not move forward. They turned their horses and retreated. Due to the tight formation, they were not allowed to turn around and gallop away for their lives.

The worst thing, and the most alarming thing in Roji's heart, was that the Han army's formation moved. The front line charged directly at them, and a team of men and horses were separated from each wing, squeezing towards them from both sides.

Therefore, Roast Chicken sat on horseback and raised his head to sweep away, but he saw the banners of the Han army in front, left and right and the sound of fighting that chilled his bones. Seeing that he was surrounded by the Han army, only the remaining The only way to survive was to turn the horse's head and flee backwards.

It was at this time that Roasted Chicken discovered the little trick he had used to survive in the past, which was to direct the battle from this extremely safe position in the formation without fighting personally, but now it was slowing down his escape speed.

"Get out of the way, get out of my way."

There was an anxious look on Xiaoqu Shuai Shaoji's face, a look that couldn't be more anxious. He hoped that as usual, he would follow his words and make the cavalry crowded around him retreat, so that he could turn around and leave the situation. This dangerous place.

Not only the words, Xiaoqushuai Shaoji, who was in a hurry, waved his riding whip, waving it forward, backward, left and right, watching the cavalryman who was whipped by him retreat slightly to the surroundings, so that he would not be crowded like a dead place. in the formation.

However, the thought of roasting chicken was just wishful thinking. Under his vigorous whip, the cavalry crowding around him not only did not retreat slightly, but instead crowded towards his position and rushed straight towards the burning chicken. The chicken and his mount were so stuck that they couldn't move.

Of course, it’s no wonder that the cavalrymen on the front and rear of Rooster had the same idea as Rooster - to turn their horses and flee, but the situation did not allow them to have their own opinions, or that the Han army was surrounding the Qiang and Hu knights. , not allowing the Qiang and Hu cavalry to get what they wanted and escape.

At this moment, the front line of fighting is on the front line.

There were heavy infantrymen wearing heavy armor and holding swords and axes, rushing straight into the ranks of the Qiang and Hu knights, chopping up the Qiang and horse legs, and disrupting the formation of the Qiang and Hu cavalry.

When the Qiang and Hu knights faced the heavily armored Han troops who came close to them, they waved all kinds of weapons in their hands, hoping to kill one or two Han troops. However, facing the Han troops wearing fine armor, the weapons in their hands Even the Han army's defenses could not be broken, and they had to face a massacre.

In addition to the heavily armored infantry fighting hand-to-hand, there were also spearmen of the Han Army holding several-meter-long spears. They kept raising their spears toward the Qiang Hu knight sitting on the horse in front of them.

The sharp spearhead is a high-quality product produced by the Pu family in Qiongdu. When facing the Qianghu knights wearing only leather armor, it is like a strong crossbow against the thin Lu Zun. It only takes a slight exertion by the Han soldiers. It easily pierced the leather armor of the Qiang Hu knight, pierced the skin of the Qiang Hu knight, and caused the Qiang Hu knight to wail.

In addition, there were archers arrayed behind the spearmen at the fighting place. When the archers faced the chaotic battle situation, they carefully controlled the direction and strength of the arrows, and tried their best to throw the arrows into the Han army. The Qiang and Hu knights who have not yet entered are at the center and rear of the formation.

In this way, on the one hand, the archers can avoid accidentally injuring their companions, and on the other hand, they can maximize the power of their arrows and kill more Qiang Hu.

"My life is in danger."

In the center of the Qianghu formation, Xiaoqushuai Roast Chicken was rushing left and right, with no way out. When he was panicking, he heard a thunderous sound, which alerted him. He immediately raised his head, but saw... The aim was to fill the sky with arrows shining with black light. He smiled bitterly and said something.

Unwilling to die, he immediately thought of turning over and dismounting, hiding in the horse's belly to escape first, but his plan was loud and clear, but the situation did not allow him to make such a clever move.

The Qiang and Hu knights who gathered around the roasted chicken all felt the rain of arrows coming towards them. They didn't know where they belonged, and they didn't know how to avoid the deadly rain of arrows. They were just like ants on a hot pot, colliding with no direction. got up, and the situation suddenly became chaotic and boiling.

"My life is over."

At this moment, Xiaoqushuai Roasted Chicken, who was about to turn over and hide under the horse's belly, was squeezed randomly by the knights on the left and right in their desire to survive. He was unable to move for a moment, and was about to be hit by a wave of arrows, and he was about to die. At this moment, he let out a cry.

The strings loosen the arrows, and the arrows break through the armor and bones.

A moment later, after a burst of collisions between arrows and leather armor, arrows and flesh, arrows and bones, a dozen arrows were inserted into his head and body, like a hedgehog's canal. Shuai Roast Chicken's soul was taken away in an instant, and he could no longer feel, hear, or smell anything.

Losing all his strength and the consciousness to support his body, Xiaoqushuai Shaoji had no choice but to throw his head back and fall backwards. Only at the last moment of his consciousness, he saw the soldiers coming towards them in the gap between the shadows of the soldiers at the rear. Qu Shuai and Shao Ertou's group came rushing in.

"Why didn't you come earlier? Why did you ignore me? Why did you make me lose my life?" Xiao Qushuai Roast Chicken complained for the last time from the depths of his soul, and then died.

If Xiaoqushuai Shaoji was complaining about his Qushuai Shaoertou at the last moment of his life for not being able to bring troops to rescue him early, there was also a feeling of pity.

Shaoji followed his commander-in-chief Shao'otou to Guanzhong. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of his assistance to Li Jue and Guo Bang to plunder Guanzhong. He wanted all the gold, silver, property, singers and beauties. , and they all have to be carried back to Liangzhou.

But now, Roast Chicken failed to get the gold and silver he wanted, nor did he get the beautiful concubine he wanted. He had heard that the men in Chang'an City had very white skin. Compared to The Qiang girls with their rough skin are a hundred or ten thousand times better.

However, the longing for roast chicken in the past has turned into flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water at this moment, with no trace left. He is now a complete dead person. In the distance, Shaodang Qiang Qu Commander Shao'otou was galloping towards the place where the Han army was fighting with his own men. What he saw in his eyes were the tribesmen who were constantly falling from their horses, and what he heard in his ears were the tribesmen's voices. There was a cry of pain, and what was smelled in the nose was the blood of the tribe's son.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Faced with this situation, Shao'otou roared loudly. He could not bear the miserable situation in front of him for a moment.

He gave up his original plan and no longer planned to only harass the Han army on the periphery. Instead, he planned to rush into the formation and fight to the death with the Han army to help his son out of trouble.

Although it is the right choice to only harass the Han army in the periphery, as the Qu commander of the Shaodang Qiang, Shao Etou can assume the position of Qu commander and shoulder the responsibility of the entire tribe. Naturally, he cannot bear to see his own son. Each one was hacked with swords and axes, one by one fell off the horse, and each one died on the spot.

Shao'otou showed his courage as his commander, and also showed his honor as his commander. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs, raised his whip with one hand, and whipped the horse that sat down without mercy. I just wish I could fight with the Han army as soon as possible, and fight with his son as soon as possible.

'Is this a desperate move? "Xu Meng, who was in the middle of the army and in control of the overall situation, saw the movements of the Qiang and Hu knights pressing forward. The team of Qiang and Hu knights launched a charge without hesitation. There was no possibility of turning back. This was a desperate effort.

After a thought, Xu Meng made a decision. He left 800 men behind the formation for emergencies. Under his command, the rest of the troops rushed towards the Qiang and Hu, preparing to give the Qiang and Hu a head-on attack.

Xu Meng himself handed over the leading team to his clan brother Xu Kan, and he led his personal guards and other people to greet them.

This battle was also the first battle in Guanzhong. Xu Meng decided to win without any omissions, not only for himself but also for Ming Gong.

"Come on, as long as we break through the Han army's formation, we will win this battle." Qu Shuai Shaoertou made a desperate cry.

With more than a thousand knights facing 3,000 Han infantry, it seems that they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. However, cavalry is different from infantry. A thousand cavalry also has an advantage when facing 5,000 infantry. After all, the battle with The right not to fight lies with the cavalry.

Even though the battle had already begun and the two sides were in full swing, with the front team at a disadvantage, Qu Shuai Shao'e Tou believed that he still had a chance, because he was commanding the cavalry, and as long as he could break up the Han army's formation, he could win the battle like a tiger driving sheep and avenge his dead sons.

Under the supervision of Qu Shuai Shao Ertou, Shao Dangqiang's son Lang began to get excited, and everyone in the crowd desperately urged their horses and rushed towards the Han army's strong formation regardless of their lives.

Qu Shuai Shaoertou, who was in the formation, had glaring eyes. He couldn't stop thinking about breaking up the Han army's formation and pocketing victory in his own pocket.

Whether they win or lose depends on this charge. It is also their only chance.

If the Shaodang Qiang cavalry can break through and break up the Han army's formation this time, then they will win. But if they are blocked by the Han army, their indomitable momentum will be blocked, and they will lose their potential energy and mobility. , is the lamb to be slaughtered.

"Rush, rush, rush for me."

Following the roar of Shao'otou, Qushuai of the Shaodangqiang tribe, the Shaodangqiang's cavalry collided with the Han army's formation. The galloping horses, carrying huge impact, rushed in without any surprise. He entered the Han army's formation.

If there were no accidents, usually the strong formation of Han infantry would be unable to withstand the galloping horses, but accidents happened.

The Qiang and Hu cavalry led by Shao Ertou, after knocking through several columns of Han troops, were blocked by the formation of Han troops. However, they saw Han soldiers from Guanzhong, who were not afraid of death. They moved forward and collided with the Qiang and Hu's tall horses, just to stabilize their formation and not be defeated by the Qiang and Hu.

'How can it be. Qu Shuai Shao Ertou felt that the galloping team around him seemed to have hit an iron plate. It slowed down a little, stopped a little, and then even stood still.

He suddenly felt unbelievable, and following this unbelievable feeling, he couldn't help but panic.

The greatest reliance of the cavalry was the brisk movement of the cavalry and the unparalleled potential energy brought by the impact. But now their steps were blocked. At the same time, the Han army also surrounded them from all directions. The brisk movement of the cavalry also caused them to It was lost.

The Han army in front of him was not something he could deal with. Shao'otou felt powerless. After all, he had never seen a Han army that was so crazy that it collided with the cavalry. Liangzhou soldiers were said to be elite, but I'm afraid there are few such desperate troops in Liangzhou.

It was as if there was a big word 'danger' on his forehead, and because of this word 'danger', Qushuai Shaoertou of Shaodang Qiang tribe lost the passion he had just been fighting for. He planned to switch to a wave first, to be precise. , he planned to run away.

It doesn't matter who his subordinates are or whether he is his own son. Shao Ertou has only one thought at the moment, to save his own life. As long as he is handsome enough to survive, there is still hope for Shao Dangqiang. If he is handsome enough to die, there is still hope. Yes, even if Shaodang Qiang exists, what’s the point?

Before the Han army successfully encircled them, Shao'otou issued an order. Following Shao'otou's order, some of the Qiang and Hu knights left behind, and the large group of people began to flee without looking back.

Although the Han army did not seem to have enough horses to pursue them, the Qiang and Hu knights, who had lost their courage, no longer had the idea of ​​staying. They just wanted to stay as far away from these Han troops as possible, that is, as far away from death as possible. The further away, the further away from Youdu.

Qu Commander Shao Ertou fled, the Qiang and Hu troops fled, and the first battle of the Guanzhong War came to an end.

Facing the fleeing Qiang Hu, Xu Meng had no idea of ​​pursuing him. Most of his men were infantry. If he chased, he would not even be able to eat the dust from the Qiang Hu's pony tail, let alone chase down the Qiang Hu tail after tail. .

Moreover, Xu Meng did not intend to be greedy for credit. He planned to give up when things were good. He had already won the first victory, but there was no need to do other unnecessary things. If there was a slight mistake, the good situation would be ruined. (End of chapter)
