The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 173 The Dust Settles
The shouts of the Xiongnu army gradually weakened, and the sound of the Taiping army's drums was even more shocking on the battlefield.

After ten waves of arrow rain, [-] arrows were released, and the corpses of the Huns cavalry marched forward and followed to open the way.

Ma Teng and Han Sui fled a total of [-] soldiers and horses to the two wings of the Taiping Army, leaving less than [-]. Most of the remaining soldiers and horses were attacked and killed by the Huns cavalry when the battlefield changed suddenly, and some were killed by the enemy. More than [-] people The horse was killed in battle, but only in exchange for more than [-] Huns casualties.

And just when the Xiongnu cavalry took advantage of the victory to attack the Taiping army, after entering the range of a hundred meters from the bow and crossbow, ten waves of arrows shot and killed nearly ten thousand of the opponent's cavalry.

Ma Teng and Han Sui, the two Liangzhou warlords and their generals, were dumbfounded and sweated profusely.

What they were proud of was the world-famous Xiliang iron cavalry, but this cavalry was vulnerable to Guo Jia's [-] crossbow troops.

I can't help but ask in my heart: If Guo Jia deals with them, what will happen to them?

Of the 30 cavalry of the Xiongnu, there are now less than [-] left. The vanguard troops used corpses to open the way, only [-] meters away from the Taiping Army.

To get out of the way, the bald-headed and evil-looking Dian Wei took the lead, and rode his horse to the rear of the carbine gun. Behind him, five thousand guards in heavy armor were holding long halberds, waiting in full force.

The cavalry of the Xiongnu had already bled, and they could not give up their previous efforts. Hu Chuquan led the remaining cavalry, and continued to advance without fear of being blocked by the carbine in front. enemy.

Guo Jia's army in front turned into crossbowmen retreating back. He got up to observe the situation on the battlefield, and couldn't help showing a sneer.

The Huns are really interesting, they just focus on his central army, and they don't divide the troops to encircle the two wings at all.

Since the other party is looking for a dead end, Guo Jia doesn't mind adding salt to their wounds.

"Pass the order, and the archers on both wings slowly advanced, forming a siege to the Xiongnu soldiers. Then pass the news to Ma Teng and Han Sui, let them lead the remnants to go straight to the enemy's rear."

The archers on the two wings began to advance slowly, shooting arrows from the side to attack the Huns' army. After receiving Guo Jia's order, Ma Teng and Han led the remnant troops to kill the carbine. The Xiliang iron cavalry under his two command were only three or four thousand. It is enough to have these.

The Xiongnu army took the momentum of Mount Tai to attack the central army of the Taiping army violently. After Guo Jia shot and killed nearly ten thousand horses of the opponent with crossbowmen, the central army had Dian Wei and tiger guards to block the opponent, and archers on both wings plus Ma Teng and Han Sui formed a fan-shaped pincer attack. situation.

The war horse screamed, hit the repelling carbine and fell to the ground, opening a gap, splashing dust and blood.

poof...

One after another, the horses fell over and knocked away the carbine-repelling guns, and fell beside him. Dian Wei, who was straddling his mount, remained unmoved, his halberds in his hands remained motionless, and his eyes were only locked on one person.

Hu Chuquan!
The Xiongnu army is sweeping in front of them, led by the few remaining cavalry. It seems that arrows rained down on their heads, covering the clouds and covering the sun. enemy.

Snapped

Plaguing the horse and rushing forward, Dian Wei looked majestic, even though his quiet expression at the moment made him look sinister.

The Xiongnu cavalry who swung their knives at Dian Wei with their teeth and claws swung, but Dian Wei didn't pay attention to them at all.

Passing by countless Hun cavalrymen, Dian Wei stared at Huchuquan in the cavalry team. When other cavalrymen came to attack him, they either swung a short halberd with one hand and took the head directly, or moved swiftly. After dodging the attack, he killed him with a backhand ultimate move.

Dian Wei noticed Hu Chuquan, because among the cavalry rushing into the formation, Hu Chuquan had been giving orders, constantly encouraging the cavalry behind him to go forward, and Dian Wei believed that he must be the general of the Xiongnu cavalry.

Hu Chuquan noticed that Dian Wei was majestic and mighty, and he ran all the way unstoppable, and was killed by Dian Wei's blow.

The two had already locked onto each other within 30 meters of each other. Hu Chuquan had a strong fighting spirit, he clenched his scimitar tightly and rushed forward.

When the war horses met, Hu Chuquan attacked first, and the machete crossed half a month to take Dian Wei Xiangshang's head, making a sound of breaking through the air.

Holding up the short halberd to block, Dian Wei took it easy.

Ding

The sound of the weapon hitting was crisp and clear.

Passing by each other, the first confrontation was a test, the eyes of the two separated immediately, they turned their horses and continued to fight!

This is not a battle in front of the formation, there is no distance to sprint, the distance between the two is no more than five steps, and the next step is to fight immediately.

Dian Wei is an opponent that cannot be underestimated from the outside, and Hu Chuquan dare not underestimate the enemy, but he still miscalculated the strength of the two sides.

The two fought again, and Dian Wei waved his short halberds in both hands, intertwined from top to bottom, trying to put Hu Chuquan to death.

This

Hu Chuquan clenched his teeth, and looked at Dian Wei's halberds holding machetes.

Dian Wei snorted coldly, twined his halberds around the opponent's scimitar, and slowly exerted force to press down.

Hu Chuquan turned pale with fright, held the knife in both hands and tried his best to force Dian Wei back, but seeing the two halberd blades crossed across his shoulders, his heart was broken.

At this time, both sides are exerting their strength, Dian Wei has the upper hand, Hu Chuquan can't get away if he wants to retreat, if he is not fast enough, he will still die.

His heart was overwhelmed with shock, Hu Chuquan thought that he was not weaker than others in terms of strength, but the bald villain in front of him was far more powerful than him?
After making up his mind to run away, Hu Chuquan wanted to take a risk, and wanted to shrink his head and slap his horse away, but when he was about to carry out this action, Dian Wei didn't give him a chance.

Suddenly adding more force, Dian Wei's Shuangji not only pressed the opponent's scimitar to his chest, but also placed the sharp blades of the Shuangji on Huchuquan's shoulder.

With hands crossed, two halberds staggered, a human head flew up and fell in the air.

Hu Chuquan's headless body fell off his horse, Dian Wei turned his horse's head and went to kill other enemies, but he didn't even look at the heads that fell on the battlefield.

When the Xiongnu cavalry rushed to the front of the Taiping Army's central army, all the tiger guards in the front row threw their long halberds out.

Dian Wei has the ability to throw a halberd to kill the enemy, and the trained tiger guards can also learn three points. This method of killing the enemy like a javelin has limited damage to the cavalry, but fortunately, the Hun cavalry does not have heavy armor. The Hun cavalry, even if they don't die, will be knocked off their horses by the impact.

The Tiger Guards once again defeated the Hun cavalry in a short distance, and the archers on both wings blocked it layer by layer, almost annihilating the few remaining Hun cavalry. The next battlefield was a confrontation between infantry.

The tiger guards wearing heavy armor are slightly less mobile, but they draw out their sabers, advance step by step, and fight with the Huns in close combat, like wolves and tigers. Unless the enemy deliberately attacks the vital parts, it is difficult to wear heavy armor at all. The tiger guards got cheap.

The Tiger Guards in dark heavy armor were like a strong shield with thorns, slowly pushing the enemy back, leaving no armor behind.

Standing on the chariot, Guo Jia looked at the entire battlefield. The Taiping army beat drums unabated. The Chinese army pushed back the Xiongnu infantry with the tiger guards opening the way. The archers on both wings shot and killed the enemy army from the side. The remnants also attacked the rear of the Xiongnu army from both sides.

The balance of victory has tilted towards the Taiping Army.

Suddenly, a horn sounded from the rear of the Huns' army, and the remnants of the Huns who had been killed all retreated suddenly.

"My lord, the Xiongnu army has retreated, shall we chase after it?"

Zhang Liaoce came to ask for instructions.

Guo Jia said indifferently: "Let the soldiers maintain their formation and continue to move forward. The poor should not chase after us. We are just marching normally."

Counting the days, Gan Ning led Yin Ling Feiqi to Wuguan, and at the same time brought an order to Yan Yan.

If Yan Yan hadn't delayed the military order, he would have led [-] soldiers and horses on the way to Tongguan to cut off the Xiongnu's retreat.

Going humble and coming with hatred, the whole army came out in full force, even if he ordered the withdrawal, it would be difficult to preserve his strength at this time.

The [-] cavalry were almost wiped out, and the [-] infantry were killed or injured. They went deep into the battlefield and were surrounded, and then retreated and were hunted down. It would be nice to be able to withdraw [-].

The infantry of Ma Teng and Han Sui's remnants all participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the Huns' infantry. They led the remaining thousands of Xiliang cavalry under their command to attack the Huns' rear.

Qubei came here for revenge, and Ma Teng and Han Sui also avenged the dead soldiers, so there was no need to doubt their determination to kill the Huns.

The Taiping Army formed an orderly formation, with the tiger guards in the central army, and the archers on both wings also retreated and gathered on the two wings. The crossbowmen retreated after completing the task of severely defeating the cavalry. Only Xu Chu led his sword and shield soldiers to attack the Huns from the right flank. And the loss of nearly [-] soldiers is understandable. Archers are long-range troops, and Xu Chu brought swords and shields to fight in close combat. Xu Chu's style of fighting to the death, almost half of the Xiongnu infantry died in Xu Chu. In the hands of the soldiers.

Originally planning to leave Zhang Liao to clean up the battlefield, Guo Jia really did not expect Ma Teng and Han Sui to surprise him.

Before the formation of the Taiping Army, Ma Teng and Han Sui led the iron cavalry from Xiliang to return. The generals gathered in front of the formation and pushed out a group of Huns who were disheveled and covered in blood.

"Your Majesty, this is King Zuo Xian, go humble."

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and introduced the prisoner to Guo Jia.

He has no interest in Qubei, and Guo Jia doesn't even look at Zuoxian Wang Qubei's expression at the moment, it doesn't matter.

Pulling out his sword, Guo Jia handed it to Han Sui and said, "General, don't you want to kill your enemies?"

Han Sui stared dumbfounded at the saber Guo Jia handed over, with a cold light and murderous aura.

Han Sui indeed had a grudge against King Zuo Xian, and this grudge was forged today.

It was Han Sui's idea to bring Zuo Xianwang captive back to Guo Jia for disposal, because Qubei was a rescue soldier invited by the emperor of Han, and Han Sui dared not kill him.

"Here, I'd better make you do it." Han Sui took a step back and gave way.

Guo Jia didn't take it seriously, and turned to look at Ma Teng. Seeing that Ma Teng seemed to be dodging, he turned his eyes to the face of the general of the Liangzhou warlord.

"He is the leader of the Huns. How many of your fellow countrymen and brothers have the Huns killed? How many of your colleague Pao Ze? If you think you can let him go, sorry, I disagree. I want to avenge the dead soldiers of the Taiping Army, you guys Don't dare to do it, I'll come!"

After all, Guo Jia was about to swing his sword, but Ma Chao took the first step.

叱

The tiger-headed Zhan golden spear pierced Qubei's back, pierced through his chest, and pulled it back again, Ma Chao kept gnashing his teeth and glaring.
