Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 177
To the west of the writing valley, the upper reaches of the Huangshui River.

Hundreds of Qiang soldiers walked in the icy river with difficulty, their teeth trembling from the ice.

The Huangshui River here is relatively wide, more than 20 feet long. Although the water is not deep, it has just passed the paint cover, but the river is really icy cold. Just after entering the water and walking a few meters, the calf below the knee completely lost consciousness.

"It's fucking cold!"

Some Qiang soldiers couldn't help scolding their mothers, isn't this making people suffer!
Five thousand Qiang soldiers lined up in ten teams, each with 500 people, crossed the river in batches.

The Qiang soldiers holding their shields walked in the front, stopping from time to time to look at the other side.

The ground here is relatively flat, and the forest on the north bank is several miles away from the river bank.

The reason why he chose to cross the river here was because he was afraid that the Han army would have ambushes on the north bank to prevent surprise attacks.

The army is in the rear, on a high hill.

"Marshal, there should be no ambush on the north bank."

A general said to the handsome and handsome Wudang of the wolf department who stood straddling his horse.

Wudang nodded and ordered: "Order the army to hurry across the Huangshui River and assemble on the north bank."

"Order."

The general responded quickly and quickly passed down the military order.

After receiving the military order, the Qiang soldiers who crossed the river did not stay any longer, and immediately rushed forward.

Fortunately, there was no Xiliang army attacking.

Immediately, five thousand Qiang soldiers swarmed into the water, rushing to the opposite bank in the icy cold water.

However, just when the last five hundred Qiang soldiers were about to set foot on the north bank.

A few kilometers away from the north shore, in the dense forest that had been very peaceful, the sound of desolate horns suddenly sounded endlessly.

"Ok?"

At the rear of the army, Wudang was just taken aback when he saw a cavalry force of thousands of people appearing like a ghost.

"No, it's a hit."

Wu Dang's face was livid with anger, he gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Han people, they are too cunning."

All the Qiang generals around him also had ugly faces, almost vomiting blood.

Wu Dang roared: "Order the front to block this cavalry no matter what, the army hurry up and cross the river."

"As ordered."

More than a dozen members of the army immediately urged their horses to leave, and in an instant, there was a shocking sound of war drums rising into the sky.

In front of the cavalry.

Zhao Yun pointed his iron gun forward, and five thousand cavalry immediately rolled in, like a torrent of steel, killing towards the north bank.

When the last [-] Qiang soldiers set foot on the north bank, the [-] Qiang soldiers had already seen the [-] cavalrymen who suddenly appeared, and they were gnashing their teeth amidst the shouts of the generals, dragging their numb legs and feet, and forming a chaotic formation on the spot.

However, the distance of several miles is only a short time for the cavalry to charge.

Before the [-] Qiang soldiers had formed their formation, and even before their numb legs and feet regained consciousness from the cold, the [-] cavalrymen had already arrived. charge.

"kill!"

Zhao Yun leaped on his horse with his gun held out, and he rode in the lead, and charged into the five thousand Qiang soldiers.

The five thousand cavalry behind them formed a prototype assault formation, like a huge hammer, slammed into the five thousand Qiang soldiers.

The shrill and miserable howls tore apart the sky, hot blood sprayed, broken arms flew across, and the river bank was soon dyed red.

Under the sudden attack, the five thousand Qiang soldiers were a little flustered. In addition, they had just climbed up from the icy cold river and had no time to recover their strength. After a little resistance, they were quickly defeated.

"Don't run away, bring the fuck back to me!"

The Qiang general who was leading the army saw that some soldiers had started to retreat, he couldn't help baring his eyes, and roared sharply.

"You die too!"

At this moment, Zhao Yun rode his horse to kill him, raised his spear and stabbed
General Qiang hurriedly raised his saber, but it was blocked. Just now he yelled that something was wrong, he felt a cold in his throat, and the strength in his body receded like a tide. It fell down suddenly.

"Oh my god, the leader was killed!"

The Qiang people around were suddenly frightened out of their wits, adding to the confusion.

Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation and led the army to charge, and soon defeated the five thousand Qiang soldiers.

Although the Qiang people were tough and good at fighting, they valued force the most. Seeing that Zhao Yun was so powerful, he killed the unstoppable leader in their eyes with just one shot, and immediately collapsed, and the last bit of confidence was completely destroyed.

Many Qiang soldiers threw away their weapons and fled desperately.

Some Qiang soldiers rushed back directly into the icy river and fled to the south bank.

At this time, the ten thousand Qiang soldiers on the south bank had just launched into the water.

The rear of the army.

Seeing that the [-] troops that set foot on the north bank had been killed and defeated, and many routs even rushed to the south bank, Wu Dang on the high hill suddenly turned blue and purple with anger, his tiger eyes were flaming, and his eyes almost wanted to choose someone to devour.

A general's face changed drastically and he said: "Commander, the Han people have a saying that the momentum cannot be violated. The current situation is irreversible. In order to prevent the defeated army from attacking the main formation, we should quickly gather up the formation and use the Han cavalry to take advantage of the situation. "

Wudang's expression changed, and he nodded quickly.

Amidst the continuous sound of drums, the Qiang soldiers who had just launched into the water immediately retreated and lined up on the south bank.

"These Qiang people are not stupid!"

Zhao Yun, who was about to cross the river to pursue him, sneered, and immediately led five thousand cavalrymen to continue chasing and killing the fleeing Qiang soldiers.

At the same time, to the east of the writing valley, the lower reaches of the Huangshui River.

The Qiang soldiers of the Gelin tribe who had just climbed up to the north bank from the icy Huangzhong water were also attacked head-on by the [-] cavalry led by Li Meng. The [-] Qiang soldiers were almost wiped out. Withdraw to the south bank.

On the main battlefield of Yamaguchi.

Suddenly, the sound of desolate horns resounded through the earth.

The Qiang cavalry of Sanqian Shaodang rushed out from the rear formation like a whirlwind, and rushed towards the mountain pass.

"Warriors, it's time for us to show our bravery."

In front of the Qiang cavalry formation, a tower-like Qiang Han held up his saber and howled sharply, "For the honor of the Qiang warriors, I will listen to you now, widen your eyes, and use the swords and horses in your hands to tell those cowardly The Han people, what is real bravery. Kill, destroy those damn wooden buildings for Lao Tzu, and kill all those damn Han troops."

"Kill kill kill..."

Three thousand cavalrymen beat their chests and howled, with momentum like a rainbow.

Amidst the thunderous sound of horseshoes, three thousand cavalry rushed into the narrow mountain pass.

In front of the Xiliang army.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Wang Fang sneered, seeing that the cavalrymen of Sanqian Shao could charge a hundred paces away, and immediately hid in the rear formation.

Three thousand cavalry rolled forward, and they were about to enter a distance of fifty steps.

At this moment, an extremely high-pitched horse neighing suddenly overwhelmed the thunderous hoofbeats and shouts of killing.

Qiang, who was running at the front of the cavalry formation with a horse leading the way, had no time to react, so he and his horse fell into the mud, and the cavalry rolling in behind also had their horses fall down one after another, and the momentum of the charge stalled for a moment.

At this moment, the locust-like rain of arrows roared again, pouring fiercely on the heads of the three thousand cavalrymen.

"What the hell is going on?"

Some Qiang people who were still in shock hissed and yelled, not knowing what happened.

For no reason, how could the horse under his crotch stumble and fall down.

"Nails, the fucking ground is full of iron nails."

A Qiang cavalryman whose horse fell down screamed with blood all over his face, and blood was dripping from his body.

War horses stumbled and fell down constantly, and soon blocked the mountain road.

Three thousand cavalry were crowded on the narrow mountain road. The cavalry in front could not rush because the road was blocked. The cavalry in the middle and behind couldn't hold back their horses, but they still rushed forward. They immediately crowded into a group, causing a catastrophe. s consequence.

In front of the Xiliang army.

Wang Fang yelled sharply, "Don't stop the archers, shoot me hard."

How could the archers hiding in the wooden building be polite? Without Wang Fang's order, they quickly shot out the strong arrows in the quiver. With just three salvos, half of the three thousand Qiang cavalry fell down. more.

With so many cavalry crowded on the narrow mountain road, it was like a bunch of live rakes.

Such a good opportunity, if you don't show off your shooting skills, how can you do it.

Amidst the shrill screams and curses, the Shaodang Qiang soldiers fell down in pieces like they had been cut down.

Seeing that they were only twenty steps away from the Han army, they could no longer rush over.

All the Qiang soldiers were red-eyed, wishing they could fly over on their horses and kill those despicable Han soldiers.

The Qiang soldiers were in the rear.

"Qisha!"

Dian Ling roared sharply, his face extremely ferocious.

The dozen or so generals around him were dumbfounded, and all the Qiang soldiers were dumbfounded.

What is the situation and why even the brave cavalry will fail.

The damn Han army is so despicable that they buried a lot of nails on the ground, which is really terrible.

All the Qiang soldiers were red-eyed, wishing to kill those insidious and despicable Han troops.

Soon, under the close-range shooting of a thousand archers, there were not many soldiers left in the three thousand burning troops.

There are less than a hundred riders who can still stand.

In the end, only a few dozen riders escaped back.

In front of the Xiliang army formation, Wang Fang sneered, and rode his horse back to the rear formation, but secretly screamed in his heart.

Originally, the Xiliang army was planning to dig pits on the mountain road, but after trying it, the ground was frozen solid, and it was impossible to dig at all. The soldiers wasted a lot of energy, but they only dug three pits that were not deep.

Zhao Yun had an idea and came up with a way.

It is to insert many iron nails and thorns on the mountain road, and then cover it with floating soil.

In this way, if the Qiang soldiers do not investigate, they will inevitably suffer a big loss.

Wang Fang originally thought that these iron nails could only slightly hinder the Qiang soldiers' offensive at best.

After all, it is not difficult to clear these obstacles. After the Qiang soldiers suffer a loss, they will definitely try to clear them.

Unexpectedly, however, the cavalry were the first to suffer.

If it is an infantry soldier, once they find that there are iron nails buried in the ground, they will definitely retreat and try to clean up the iron nails.

However, if the cavalry rushed in, it would not be so easy to retreat smoothly.

Cavalry is no better than infantry. When charging at high speed, once they are blocked, they will be unable to hold back their forward momentum. Especially on such a narrow mountain road, three thousand cavalry huddled together will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences.

The fact is exactly the same. In the end, the Sanqian Shaodang cavalry was almost wiped out.

After suffering such a big loss, the Qiang people should stop for a while, right?

Wang Fang grinned secretly, even if the Qiang people learned to behave in the end and cleared away these iron nails, there are still many gifts for these stupid Qiang people. I hope these stupid Qiang people will not collapse so soon.
