Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 83
Two hundred steps away from the mountain pass, the torches on the sentry tower could not reach here.

Under the night, three thousand Xiliang cavalry stood astride their horses, silently.

With the sound of slight footsteps, Zhao Yun quickly ran over from the side and went straight to Luo Zhengma.

"Lord!"

Zhao Yun arched his hand, "The sentries have all been dealt with."

Luo Zheng's spirit was refreshed for a moment, and he asked in a deep voice: "How is the defense of Qiang Village?"

Zhao Yun replied: "The Qiang people didn't expect our army to come so soon, and their defenses were very lax. All the ten outposts at the five crossings leading to Qiangzhai were cleared, and the three outposts on the Qiangzhai sentry tower were also taken care of. It's all resolved."

"Okay, let's go."

Luo Zheng waved his hand heavily, and he rode out first.

Three thousand cavalry rushed out of the darkness and headed straight for the mountain pass.

Zhao Yun had already flew on his horse, carrying his silver spear upside down and following Luo Zheng's side.

There are five mountain roads leading to the Qiang village halfway up the mountain. Three thousand cavalry were divided into five groups and rushed up the mountain quickly.

The hillside is very flat, and you can rush up on a horse.

But the Qiang people were not stupid. In order to prevent the village from being attacked, many traps were dug on the hillside leading to the village, and there were hidden organs and hidden weapons. Only five mountain roads were left to lead to the outside of the village.

Moreover, these five mountain roads are not safe, and many fortifications have been built.

Once the enemy comes, use these fortifications to resist the enemy.

If the invading enemy wants to take advantage of the sneak attack at night, he can only take five paths.And even if the sentries at the mountain pass were cleared, it would be impossible to raid the Qiang village, because the torches were lit here, and there was no way they could hide from the Qiang soldiers on the watchtower.

If the torches were extinguished, the Qiang soldiers on the sentry tower would give an immediate warning.

Unless the Qiang soldiers on the three watchtowers in the cottage are also eliminated, the sneak attack will be successful.

Of course, this is a bit difficult, almost impossible.

There are three sentry towers in the Qiang village, and there are five Qiang soldiers on each tower.

If you want to eliminate the five Qiang soldiers on the sentry tower silently, you must kill them at the same time.

No matter how good the archery skills are, it is impossible to cooperate seamlessly.

Once there is a slight omission, it is enough for the Qiang soldiers on the sentry tower to react and issue a warning.

Not everyone has Zhao Yun's amazing archery skills, who can shoot five powerful arrows from one string at the same time, and they can still hit the same target.The archery skill of piercing Yang with a hundred steps is rare, and shooting five arrows at a time is even more difficult.

The mouths of the three thousand war horses were all wrapped in rags, and the treads were also wrapped in rags.

The torches were sizzling, and there was a strong smell of burnt suet in the air.

If the Qiang soldiers on the sentry tower in the cottage were not eliminated, Xiliang cavalry would be discovered immediately.

From Shankou to Qiangzhai, at least one meal is required.

Such a long time is enough for the Qiang people to react and assemble an army to meet the enemy.

Luo Zheng took the lead and urged the horse to trot slowly on the mountain road.

This is a sneak attack, not a charge.

If the [-] war horses were galloping faster, the sound could be heard five miles away, let alone such a short distance.

The three thousand cavalrymen all raised their hearts, frowning, and groped all the way up.

When they finally arrived outside the Qiang Village, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Qiang village is surrounded by earthen walls that are one person high, and wooden fences have been attached to the wooden walls, and the tops have been peeled off and pointed.

Outside the wooden wall there is a ditch two feet wide and one foot deep, whether it is natural or artificially dug.

If there is an enemy coming, this ditch will become a weapon to stop the enemy.When there is no war, this ditch can also provide domestic water for the Qiang village. In summer, children can roll in it, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

The gate of the stockade is made of wood, and wooden boards are placed on the ditch in front of the gate.

"Open the door!"

Luo Zheng reined in the horse and waved his hand heavily.

Zhao Yun immediately led ten Xiliang soldiers over the wooden fence, ready to open the heavy wooden door from the inside.

At this moment, the continuous barking of dogs instantly shattered the peaceful night sky.

Luo Zheng's face suddenly changed, and his wolf-like gaze swept to the place where the dog barked.

The three thousand Xiliang cavalrymen also showed fear in their eyes, and their eyes flicked to several places.

Before Zhao Yun opened the gate of the village, there were already shouts and horns in Qiang village.

Hundreds of paces away, more than a dozen topless Qiang people rushed out from the nearest earthen house. They were a little puzzled at first, but when they saw the densely packed cavalry outside the village, their expressions immediately changed. .

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

One after another, the shouting sound exploded one after another, and the Qiang village exploded quickly.

Countless Qiang people had no time to put on their clothes, and rushed out barefoot with only a pair of trousers on. Some were still looking down in disbelief, while others were already looking for weapons and preparing to fight.

Squeak!

The heavy wooden door was finally pushed open by Zhao Yun and ten Xiliang soldiers.

"kill!"

Luo Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, raised his knife forward, and shouted.

kill kill kill...

The thunderous shouts instantly tore through the night sky, making Qiang Village no longer peaceful.

The three thousand cavalry who had long been impatient to hide their heads and show their tails rushed into the Qiang village, ready to kill and set fire.

There are also more than 300 steps from the nearest earthen house to the fence of the stockade.

When Luo Zheng brought hundreds of cavalry to kill first, dozens of Qiang people rushed out, barefoot, and some even rushed out naked before they even had time to put on their pants.

"You son of a bitch, where is my knife?"

"Damn it, where did I throw the gun?"

"Quick, go get the war horse..."

Dozens of Qiang people were in chaos, scurrying around like headless flies.

Some weapons were lost, while others rushed to the stables in a hurry.

Because I didn't expect someone to sneak attack at night, so I didn't prepare at all.

When they woke up and wanted to fight, they couldn't even find weapons.

"die!"

Luo Zheng rode forward quickly, and the horse-cutting knife turned into a cold electricity, passing over the neck of a Qiang man.

Hot blood spattered, and the head flew away.

Luo Zheng didn't stop, just rode his horse forward to kill.

Hundreds of cavalry followed closely behind, their sabers roaring, and soon they could not find any weapons. Dozens of Qiang people who rushed forward carrying wooden stakes or holding agricultural tools were slaughtered, and they killed them in the stockade like a whirlwind. go.

Zhao Yun led hundreds of horsemen to kill on the other side.

Li Meng and Wang Fang came in after Luo Zheng.

"Go, set fire to it!"

The two looked at each other, and immediately each led two hundred riders to rush towards the two sides separately.

In a short period of time, countless torches in the Qiang village were lit up one after another.

The flames soared into the sky, horses neighed and people boiled.

In the huge stockade, it was as bright as daylight by the torches.

The Qiang people who woke up from their sleep rushed out of the door one after another, running in a panic, some rushed to the stables to fetch horses, and some rushed down with knives and guns to try their best. Very few people organized and assembled in a disciplined manner.

Amidst the thunderous sound of hooves, hundreds of Xiliang cavalry rushed forward.

More than a hundred Qiang people rushing down in a panic were not afraid of death, and rushed towards them screaming.

The Qiang people are brave and good at fighting, and they are not afraid of death. Even if they are attacked by surprise, they dare to rush down and fight for their lives.

"Die!"

With a thunderous roar, Xu Chu killed him like a whirlwind.

Zhang Zhang's Huoyun Saber swept across with thunderous momentum, six Qiang people were directly cut in half, and their weapons were broken in two. Three Qiang people had half their heads cut off, and the brains mixed with hot blood splashed on the side. The Diqiang people have a head and a face.

The Qiang people who rushed over were suddenly shocked, and their momentum was taken away.

Although most of the Qiang people are proud of their bravery, they have never seen such fierceness.

The power of Xu Chu, a fierce man, severely deterred these Qiang people who were not afraid of death.

"kill!"

Luo Zheng killed the horse and swung the saber without hesitation.

There is nothing to be polite at this time, being kind to the enemy means being irresponsible to yourself and the soldiers under your command.

Taking advantage of the over a hundred Qiang people being overwhelmed by Xu Chu, hundreds of cavalry rushed up, and quickly rushed down to kill the Qiang people desperately. Only a few people relied on their legs and skills. Get away with it.

The huge Qiang village has been completely blown up, the cries of killing, screams, dogs barking, and the long neighing of war horses have mixed into an ear-splitting movement, watered by blood, beautiful and cruel.

War is like this, cruelty and blood are always the main theme.

If you can't adapt to war, you can only be ruthlessly eliminated by this man-eating world.

The few Qiang people who managed to gather were quickly killed and scattered, which finally caused a huge panic.

The sturdy Qiang people no longer resisted desperately, and started to run away desperately driven by panic.

Old people, women, and children also rushed out, scurrying around like headless chickens, and the huge panic was like a black cloud, pressing down on the hearts of all Qiang people, who didn't understand what happened at all.
