Chapter 384 Siege
Ma Dai is almost at his limit.
Previously, he pretended to be Ma Chao, which attracted the cavalry of Guo Jing to go out to intercept him, and lured Li Yi to send troops to assist in the battle, which made the formation shake. But in this way, he led a small number of Qiang and Hu cavalry and was entangled and attacked by Guo Jing's troops, and gradually fell into a situation where the enemy was around him.
Ma Dai initially disagreed with the changes in the situation. He was brave enough and felt that there were still many personal cavalry beside him, so he led the horse team to rush left and right in the smoke and dust, like a fierce flying snake, chasing the enemies in front of him entangled and biting. The two sides rushed to each other, and the smoke and dust aroused were choking.
But Ma Dai's experienced generals and schoolmates noticed that the situation was not good.
Duan Gui, the former senior cavalry governor of the Fufeng Ma family, led the Yushi Hu in Huangzhong, and followed the Fufeng Ma family for many years, said: "I have seen countless wars since the Yanxi period. Today, this enemy army has formed a strong formation and fought hard, as if the elite troops led by Duan Taiwei were led by Taiwei Duan. If they used the old method to fight, they would inevitably fail. At this moment, their formation was attacked by General Meng Qi, but they did not recall the cavalry to rescue him. It was obvious that they had full confidence. We must prepare to take General Meng Qi's retreat while the troops were still there!"
Ma Dai looked at Duan Gui with some suspicion. In the impression of this young man, his brother Ma Chao was invincible and defeated all his attacks and had never encountered an opponent. The current situation is just a inevitable stalemate before. In Duan Gui's mouth, how could it be a situation of failure?
But he didn't know how to refute Duan Gui. Duan Gui's sons were all in the army, and his subordinates were also very good at fighting. If his words were severe, it would be inappropriate to cause the old subordinate to be separated from the Ma clan.
While hesitating, his followers suddenly pointed to the north and shouted: "What happened to the camp!"
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, the morale of the army of one side was slightly shaken, and the situation could not be maintained immediately. Not far ahead of Ma Dai, a team of enemy cavalry was originally intercepted by the same number of Qiang and Hu people, and they were circling around like a shadow of a coiled dragon. As a result, the Qiang and Hu people were stunned, and the enemy cavalry suddenly threw them away and rushed towards Ma Dai.
It was too late for everyone to turn their horses and keep the distance away. The two cavalry teams quickly stirred up together, and each of them waved their weapons wildly to attack and kill the enemy who was close to them.
Duan Gui is old and can be Ma Dai's deputy in commanding operations. When talking about hand-to-hand combat skills and physical strength, he has declined. He watched an enemy cavalry rushing from the side, wielding a long sword and slashing it down, and instinctively lifting the knife to block it.
But the opponent's strength was too great. With one knife, Duan Gui's raised sword was instantly knocked away. Then he cut into his shoulder and cut off his right arm. The broken right arm sprayed blood. He spurted a few times in the air and then fell to the ground. Duan Gui looked at the beautiful arc drawn by the blood in the air? He was even a little lost in his mind. He didn't feel pain for a moment.
After decades of military career, I didn't know what I did, but the final result was actually destined. Duan Gui turned around calmly? He wanted to urge Ma Dai to lead people to retreat immediately? He wanted to remind his two sons to take care of their lives. But the enemy rode his horse and cut off his head with the next knife.
The knight who swung the sword was Guo Jing.
Guo Jing had previously led his troops to intercept him. Although he was calculated by Ma Chao, he did not lose the upper hand in the subsequent chaotic battles.
Although Sheng Qiang was brave, its weapons and armor were too rough. When it was allocated, it was far less than that of Lei’s army and his armour. When the two sides first met, Sheng Qiang could still hold on with a bloody courage? Time went by? The more courageous and brave the battle among Sheng Qiang, the earlier they died, and gradually the morale was unsustainable.
At this time, a messenger from the central army arrived, and urgently ordered Guo to deal with Ma Dai's troops as soon as possible, and then cooperate with the army to siege and kill Ma Chao.
Guo actually acted immediately.
Generally speaking, people who serve as cavalry generals often have tough personalities. If this is the case, they are not enough to control the cavalry who are in and out of the way, gathering and reuniting. However, Guo actually started his career as a subordinate of King Chen, and was influenced by years of cooperation in the infantry and cavalry, and was steadily engaged. Therefore, although he used cavalry, he left room everywhere and was very stable.
Even when the battle was at its most difficult time, he always had the elite of about a hundred people, and did not easily fight the enemy to the death, but left the moment when Lei Yuan was determined to give a fatal blow.
That's the moment!
Hundreds of cavalry have been regaining their energy to this day, and their fighting spirit has been rising like a surging wave. Moreover, General Lei has already made it clear: first deal with Ma Dai's troops, and then cooperate with each army to surround Ma Chao! These cavalry are all strong people in the army, and they are arrogant and fierce. When they are in such a decisive battle, who will miss the opportunity to make contributions!
Accompanied by the endless sound of drums and horns in the Central Military District, more than a hundred cavalry shouted and rushed desperately.
These more than a hundred cavalry not only included Guo Jing's headquarters, but also elite cavalry drawn from various battalions and ququ, many of them were even officers of Qu Chang and Du Bo. Among them were Luo Xiao, a decent subordinate of Wang Bei.
Luo Xiao's subordinates had more than ten cavalrymen, but when the cavalry was heaving, they were hitting Ma Dai, which instantly lost more than half. That's why he was transferred by Guo Jing into the hundreds of cavalry as a reserve team.
Seeing that the time for a counterattack was coming, Luo Xiao rushed into the sky and ran around, and was the first to approach Ma Dai.
Because he rushed too hard, the spear in his hand was not suitable for use if he failed to hit it. He ignored his life and death and turned to use the gun rod as a stick, and hit it straight up and down. He was blocked by Ma Dai two times in succession. When he waved the third time, the force of the gun rod and the blade touching was too great, and finally broke with a crack.
Ma Dai's palm holding the knife also burst into a broken household registration and blood flowed.
The personal guards beside Ma Dai seized the opportunity and rushed over to save Ma Dai. Ma Dai took the opportunity to thrust the horse back away.
Luo Xiao had only half a gun rod left in his hand, and was quickly killed by the guard. He was furious and fought with his serious injury. He leaned against the armor on his shoulder and then rushed to the vicinity, holding the half gun rod and pierced into the guard's jaw from bottom to top until the Tianling stopped.
This was really tragic. The huge pressure caused blood and body fluid to ejaculate from the facial features of the guard like a waterfall. Luo Xiao raised the entire body high with his gun, roaring and demonstrating.
Ma Dai pulled his horse backed away more than ten steps away.
Luo Xiao's rough martial arts were completely out of Ma Dai's eyes. Time was pushed forward for a while, like an enemy cavalry of this level, Ma Dai personally killed no less than ten people. But at this time, Ma Dai could not even have the idea of turning back and fighting again!
When the two armies fight, they can be strong and not vented. This is because once the morale is slightly relieved, all the problems that have been covered up before will break out. If they want to recover, it will be extremely difficult.
At this moment, Ma Dai was a warrior who was a sharp sword without frowning. But at this moment, his mouth was just a crack. The only trauma made his whole arm tremble and it was difficult for him to control himself for a while!
He shouted loudly: "Don't bother everyone anymore, get closer to me and follow me to meet my brother!"
There seemed to be a lot fewer people who agreed to him in every direction.
Where are the people? They ran away? These Qiang... Are these Qiang also afraid of death? The Qianghu people were all unreliable at critical moments! Ma Dai repeatedly scolded and said to his left and right: "Don't care about them, we will get out as soon as possible! We must pick up brothers as soon as possible!"
But it is not so easy to get out. The sound of horse hooves rumbling on all sides is getting louder and louder, but the cavalry of the Lei clan in Lujiang feels more and more!
"It's surrounded! It's surrounded!" Hundreds of people and even more enemy cavalry were shouting.
This shout made Ma Dai furious.
He watched a mighty enemy knight riding a tall horse and chasing him along the way, and recognized that this person was the enemy general Guo Jing. He raised his sword and pointed at the school he followed around him, and ordered: "Take ten horses and rush towards this person head-on. I will take the rest of the people to surround him and give him a cruel thing!"
The school received the order loudly. As soon as he rode his horse, an arrow rushed towards him. The school was caught in an arrow in front of him and screamed and fell to death.
