The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() As Ma Chao quickly pointed and pressed the spear in his hand forward, the sergeant beside him immediately waved a flag, and immediately, hundreds of soldiers who had been waiting for orders rushed up to the edge of the hill, He swung his knife and cut down on the ropes and vines that had been arranged there long ago.

Behind those vines, there are long-established stones, the big ones are the size of a millstone, and the small ones are as thick as a fist. After the ropes and vines that blocked their falling momentum were finally cut off, they were no longer obstructed. Falling down from the top of the hill, he rushed towards the Qiang people who were passing by.

The Qiang cavalry were rushing forward at a constant speed, when they suddenly heard a whistling sound from above their heads, as if a heavy object fell, which made them startled, and hurriedly looked up.Looking at it, everyone's face changed drastically in shock, and some even cried out.Because all they could see were stones, big and small, hitting them like raindrops and hailstones.

Panicked, the Qiang quickly dodged to the side.However, the terrain here is already narrow, and because they were eager to pass through here, the Qiang cavalry team was very close together. This dodge not only failed to allow them to find a safe place, but made the team even more chaotic. They even fell from the horseback to the ground, and it was difficult to get up due to the injury.

But in just a short moment, those stones had already hit the Qiang people.The stones carrying the falling momentum are only the size of a fist, and it is extremely painful to hit people, let alone those larger stones.Many Qiang people were thrown directly from their horses by stones, and they were killed immediately. Some people were crushed by stones and then pinned down. They screamed for help from their companions, but others could not protect themselves at this time. , it is naturally impossible to lend a helping hand.

In just a cup of tea time, the Qiang team in the narrow mountain road was completely in chaos. Although only a small part of them were injured and killed, the impact had spread to the entire army. This team of tens of thousands of people was already in chaos. .Although Helian Dada and other leaders tried their best to reprimand them and wanted to reorganize the team to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation, it was obvious that they no longer had the ability to reverse the completely chaotic situation.

And the attack they were worried about came as expected in the next moment.After cutting down the ropes on the hills on both sides and causing the stones to disrupt the enemy's formation, the Xiliang army quickly emerged from the hills.However, they did not hurry to attack the enemy, but raised their strong bows and crossbows, and shot arrows full of anger at the Qiang people like raindrops.

At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the accuracy of the arrows, as there are panicked enemies below, as long as you shoot the arrows, you can hit the target.After being suddenly attacked by stones, the Qiang people were in a panic, and they completely forgot to beware of the arrows above.With just one round of arrows, hundreds of Qiang people were hit by the arrows.

After four or five rounds of rapid fire, the Qiang people at the foot of the mountain suffered heavy casualties. Many Qiang people who had been attacked by stones and were unable to move became living targets, and the screams resounded throughout the whole Shan Dao, people can't help being shocked after hearing it.

However, Ma Chao and the cavalry elites he had assembled would not be moved by such a situation.With a murderous look on his face, he pointed his gun at the Qiang people who were in a mess at the foot of the mountain and said: "Everyone has also seen that the Qiang people who seemed powerful in the past are so embarrassed now. Today, we are going to give the Qiang people here. It is a deep and unforgettable lesson for people to understand that we Xiliang is not something they can come to if they want to. If they want to come, they have to be prepared to save their own lives! Now, let us use the swords and guns in our hands to make this truth Tell these barbarians more deeply! Kill!"

"Kill!" The nearly ten thousand cavalry in front of him also roared fiercely, and then followed closely behind, galloping their horses towards the bottom of the hill.There was a palpitating killing intent in everyone's eyes, at this moment, only killing was left in their hearts.

Han Yue on the side watched this scene, and felt inexplicably tense: "This Ma Chao is really good. Just a few words can completely arouse the murderous aura of his subordinates. And the one who arranged all these schemes Ma Yue is even more chilling, these two sons will definitely make great achievements in Xiliang, and even the whole world in the future."

While he was pondering, some of his subordinates were also a little reckless, and several generals came up and asked: "General, should we also kill down the mountain to get some credit."

Only then did Han Yue pull out of his own thoughts, nodded immediately and said: "Order the whole army, and go down the mountain together. This time, the Qiang people will be completely defeated, and we can finally gain a foothold in Xiliang with dignity! "

"Here! Brother, kill!" Several generals hurriedly agreed, and immediately led the soldiers who had been waiting in a hurry and rushed down the hill, shouting, and threw themselves into the charge against the Qiang people.

First, the troops were thrown into chaos by stones falling from the sky, and then many troops were shot and killed by random arrows.Many people have begun to retreat, and some are even dissatisfied with the misjudgment of the situation by the leaders above.If they hadn't believed that the Xiliang army would not set up an ambush here, so they rashly entered this dangerous place, how could they have suffered such heavy losses today?

Regarding this point, Helian Dada was also full of anger. He looked at the pale Shen Likang who was also shot by the arrow, and said with a sneer, "This is the real situation found by the spy you sent? Since Xiliang People have already caught our secret work, why would they set up an ambush here? You..."

Shen Likang was also full of bewilderment and remorse at this time. This mistake made them completely passive and in a dilemma.And being scolded by Helen Dada in public made him even more ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.But obviously, there is no such a crack for him to drill at this time. Even if there is, I am afraid that others will snatch it from him, because as the rain of arrows stopped, thousands of people with terrifying momentum rushed down the hill. cavalry!

The Qiang people who were closest to the charging route of these cavalry only had time to let out a cry of surprise, and before they raised their swords to meet the enemy, their heads were cut off by the cavalry galloping in front of them. More than 7000 cavalry, like a red-hot steel knife inserted into butter, rushed into the Qiang team as if entering no one's land, and killed all the enemies standing in front of them. No one was left alive.

Ma Chao rushed to the forefront, with a long spear in his hand, he could assassinate any enemy that appeared in his path.No matter whether the person tried to resist, or just fled to the side, it would be difficult to change the result - to be killed!And with such a ferocious general leading the way, the cavalry's morale was naturally boosted. Even though they were completely inferior to the Qiang in terms of strength, they had completely overwhelmed the opponent in terms of momentum.

After seeing the Han cavalry slaughtering so brutally, the Qiang people, who had been hit repeatedly, were so frightened that they could only scream and shrink back. They couldn't even make the necessary resistance. Slashing, the team became more and more chaotic, which affected the actions of those who still had the sense of resistance.

"Withdraw..." Seeing that the general situation is over, and if this continues, more people will die here, Shen Likang couldn't help but said: "We have an advantage in our military strength, so we should quickly break through and head west, otherwise..."

"They are only a few thousand people, and we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. If we lose like this, then we will never be able to stand up again. You know the situation of various ethnic groups now. If we go back like this, I am afraid that we will starve to death this year. More than half of the people..." Helian Dada couldn't accept the idea of ​​retreating, and still insisted.

But what happened next made him have to accept the reality of failure.Because just as he finished speaking, he saw countless people rushing down from the mountain.Although most of these troops were infantry, and they were far inferior to cavalry in terms of impact and combat effectiveness, the number of nearly 2 people still became the last straw that broke the camel's camel.

"Withdraw, break out!" When the leaders of the various ministries realized that there was no way for the whole army to be wiped out if they persisted, they all decisively issued orders to break out of the encirclement and escape.They all know very well that under the law of the jungle of the nomadic tribe, once the available troops of your tribe drop below the critical line, the final outcome of this tribe must be completely wiped out, and no one will sympathize with you!So for the future of themselves and the tribe, it is impossible for them to face the Xiliang army that came over this time.

After the order was issued, the Qiang people, who had already expressed their intention to retreat, immediately stopped entangled with the Xiliang army who came to kill them, spread their legs, or drove their horses, and rushed towards the mountain pass to the west.Now they only want to rush out before being hacked by the enemy, and then rely on their own advantage of growing on horseback to escape their lives.

For a moment, a very strange scene appeared here at Laoyakou - a large number of Qiang people, tens of thousands of them, were chased by the Xiliang army, which was less than half of their strength, and they had no fighting spirit.When they rushed to the back, only thousands of cavalry were still chasing after them, but these Qiang people didn't even have the courage to turn around and fight.

After chasing and killing for tens of miles, Ma Chao led his men to stop the pursuit until dawn the next day.In this battle, they have completely destroyed the morale of the Qiang people, killing and wounding about [-] enemies.In fact, most of the Qiang people trampled on each other and fell off their horses when fleeing for their lives, and only a thousand people died at their hands.

Looking at the Qiang people who fell off their horses along the road but managed to save their lives, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth. He remembered the words that Ma Yue asked someone to bring to him before he set off. It seems that he should follow the instructions before. do something about it.
